[12:01] <Muzik83> ah touche
[12:01] <thekidrio> but not all kernel panics cause core dumps
[12:01] <ompaul> hossasaur, you don't need to - you need your data
[12:01] <FatherTyme> Does anyone have a netboot image for Dapper with the bnx2 drivers?
[12:01] <LMNT_OX> whats a good partition prog for ubuntu, DVD player, IRC client (Graphical preffered), a good DL site for Progs. and, site to learn how to operate through the terminal, please reply in PM.... Thanks :)
[12:01] <adaptr> Absenth: true.. close enough, *in wintendo terms*.. it's still miseducation
[12:01] <thekidrio> haha
[12:01] <thekidrio> wintendo
[12:01] <hossasaur> ompaul: i'm worried that the sda2 partition will fill
[12:01] <thekidrio> love that
 the kernel gets afraid of ghosts <-LOL
[12:01] <justin4thirty> I tried Feisty, but I manage to break that every five minutes.
[12:01] <new_fan> hi all ;-)
[12:02] <hossasaur> ompaul: sda1 is larger than sda2's free space
[12:02] <thekidrio> hehe slv
[12:02] <thekidrio> i do only use windows for games
[12:02] <ompaul> hossasaur, so then only do data - see eariler message
[12:02] <Absenth> Who was asking about WPA?  Take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo
[12:02] <thekidrio> so it is like a wintendo
[12:02] <hossasaur> Absenth: i was, thanks
[12:02] <PwcrLinux> I wondered if the LTS system require would be same? mines is 2 Ghz, 768 MB and 40 GB/16 MB cache HD.
[12:02] <adaptr> PwcrLinux: dapper is dapper, there is no difference
[12:03] <adaptr> PwcrLinux: use for what ?
[12:03] <PwcrLinux> lappy
[12:03] <adaptr> 2 real GHzes ?
[12:03] <Absenth> I found a document that discussed installing Ubuntu 5.10 with an encrypted / /home and swap partition.  What are the chances the same procedure is likely to work on 6.10?
[12:03] <SilentM> Hrm
[12:03] <SaveFerris> Hey, how do i set my USB headset as the default audio device?
[12:03] <adaptr> Absenth: 100%, basically.. it'll only have gottten better, not worse...
[12:03] <SilentM> I have a set of speakers and a USB headset
[12:03] <PwcrLinux> yes, 2 Ghz
[12:03] <PwcrLinux> hang up ops..
[12:03] <SilentM> When I set the audio settings to USB Headset everything works fine
[12:03] <Absenth> adaptr: perfect,  I suspected as much, but some times packages change, are removed, or replaced.
[12:04] <PwcrLinux> up-on
[12:04] <SilentM> Except some programs (namely firefox + flash) play on my speakers instead
[12:04] <adaptr> Absenth: well, as long as the method used is the same, I don';t see why it would be any different
[12:04] <SilentM> How would I fix that?
[12:04] <adaptr> PwcrLinux: be aware of the vaio issues... there's a wiki about it I think, or google, lots of info on vaio's
[12:04] <stiz> i google WPA and ubuntu and I get a 100 different answers, isnt there just a config file or something i can download with a gui to put my WPA key in?
[12:04] <Absenth> adaptr: I'm going to give it a shot on my notebook tonight.
[12:05] <Hallage> Hey, guys. My /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse) and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/edgy-universe.list (dist parse) files, for Synaptic, seem to be malfunctioning. I cant actually USE Synaptic to download anything. Both cite a malformed line on line 2 as the issue when I run Synaptic. Any ideas? Can this be fixed with someone just sending me the files?
[12:05] <Absenth> stiz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo
[12:05] <PS_> hi all, is this a good place to get help with xorg config of the ati driver in Edgy?
[12:05] <PwcrLinux> adaptr: yes, breezy work prefectly, but the LTS?
[12:05] <adaptr> Absenth: unless you use STR a lot, I would just scramble swap on shutdown
[12:05] <hak0> unop: thanks , will start build soon i hope
[12:05] <adaptr> PwcrLinux: oh, well - why would you want to ?
[12:05] <adaptr> Absenth: an encrypted swap would be a serious performance hit on a laptop
[12:05] <linxeh> isnt the LTS the same as Breezy ?
[12:06] <Absenth> adaptr: mostly screwing around with it.  with 1gb of ram it may not be quite as bad, but point taken.
[12:06] <PwcrLinux> not same, the different version
[12:06] <ompaul> !lts
[12:06] <linuxnewbie756> i have /home/matt/Data/1, and when i mount something there, i can't write to it, i have tried chmod and chown, but i don't know if i have done them correctl
[12:06] <ubotu> LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.
[12:06] <linuxnewbie756> y
[12:06] <adaptr> linxeh: no
[12:06] <adaptr> linuxnewbie756: mount them as who ? root ?
[12:07] <hossasaur> ompaul: for future reference, where is a good place to mount the fat32 partition that contains all of my music/videos/docs?
[12:07] <linxeh> ok my bad

[12:07] <daviey> Anybody here having problems with evolution and IMAP accounts, receiving attachments??
[12:07] <Absenth> stiz: did that document cover what you're looking for?
[12:07] <ompaul> hossasaur, not having one is best
[12:07] <adaptr> linuxnewbie756: the first time you create a new partition, you need to sudo chmod 777 /mount/point, or only root will have access
[12:07] <linuxnewbie756> well, i am using truecrypt, and i have to use sudo to get it to work, so it is root, and if i look at the folder properties after its mounted, its owned by root
[12:07] <hossasaur> ompaul: i use both windows and linux, i'd like to be able to share that media
[12:07] <linxeh> sorry, I meant Dapper and LTS ?
[12:07] <adaptr> hossasaur: the place really does. not. matter. in the slightest
[12:07] <PwcrLinux> LTS 6.06 and Dapper 6.10
[12:07] <ompaul> hossasaur, however if you must, then I would call it  /media/fat
[12:07] <adaptr> linxeh: dapper is an LTS version
[12:08] <adaptr> PwcrLinux: whuh ?
[12:08] <stiz> Absenth: thanks that looks like what i need
[12:08] <linuxnewbie756> adaptr, i just tried that, it didn't work
[12:08] <daviey> hossasaur, /mount/fat32  (or something that sounds good to you, ie winxp)
[12:08] <ompaul> hossasaur, stop procrastinating move 100% now is your chance ;-
[12:08] <Api984> has anyone tryed to install a modem on ubutu
[12:08] <linuxnewbie756> sudo chmod 777 /home/matt/Data/1
[12:08] <adaptr> linuxnewbie756: well, I've never used truecrypt, so I really couldn't say

[12:08] <hossasaur> ompaul: will that permanently mount the partition there?
[12:08] <adaptr> linuxnewbie756: is there data on it already ?
[12:08] <hossasaur> daviey: thanks
[12:08] <daviey> hossasaur, no, in order to do it perm' you need to edit /etc/fstab
[12:09] <Absenth> stiz: just an FYI to improve your googlefoo...  I searched:   wpa +ubuntu      and then looked for the one that was linked off of ubuntu.com  :)

[12:11] <ompaul> hossasaur, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions  might help refresh memory and bring you up to date on how we do things today - very little compiling
[12:11] <Absenth> lisapc: It should be MOSTLY standard, however, there are some Grub changes Vista requires that XP or 2000 did not.

[12:15] <mdious> adaptr:  perhaps use rm with -i in future so it prompts before deleting?
[12:15] <cc2k> apt-get install phpmyadmin?
[12:15] <adaptr> cc2k: oh.., not personal files, no worires, just apt-get it again
[12:15] <daviey> cc2k, sudo apt-get remove phpmyadmin && sudo apt-get install php-myadmin

[12:19] <Hallage> daviey: I dont know, I cant edit it, its readonly/root access
[12:19] <daviey> hossasaur, in the left hand corner there is "select session"; if kde is installed you can select it there

[12:21] <adaptr> Absenth: I had no idea it was fully stable yet... from your question I deduced that reiser4 would need to be finished before inclusion ?

[12:23] <amx> anyone managed to run feisty herd4 using VirtualBox?
[12:23] <Absenth> adaptr: a quick search of the oracle makes it look as if Reiser4 is released.  but not merged into the mainline linux kernel.
[12:23] <mdious> cya everyone
[12:23] <Absenth> adaptr: *shrug* i guess it doesn't really matter :)
[12:23] <adaptr> hossasaur: do that with both drives - if it's only one drive, then of course your performance will be less than 50%

[12:24] <adaptr> Absenth: oh, i see.. well, I understand that there were serious stability issues with early releases
[12:24] <cc2k> adaptr: so liek this right?  cp -a /phpmyadmin /var/www/ <-- like that?
[12:25] <cc2k> and yes i did read ^^:)
[12:25] <adaptr> linuxnewbie756: it would make sense - in more ways than one - to disallow changing the ownership and/or permissions of an encrypted drive after it has been created, save through the interface specifically defined for truecrypt
[12:25] <adaptr> cc2k: cp -a /soure/dir /dest/dir, add a / at the end to make sure it takes the dest as a dir
[12:25] <linuxnewbie756> um, i haven't found an interface in truecrypt, asfar as i can tell, its only terminal based adaptr
[12:26] <adaptr> cc2k: that makes a perfect copy of everything in the source dir
[12:26] <cc2k> k ty adaptr
[12:26] <adaptr> linuxnewbie756: as I said before, never used it, no idea, sorry
[12:26] <bruenig> cheesedude, ...
[12:27] <linuxnewbie756> adaptr, there is one for windows, a gui that is, so wouldn't it make sense that there would be for linux?
[12:27] <cc2k> k ty adaptr it workt ^^:)
[12:27] <Hallage> daviey:All kind working, thanks [for now - until I find what caused it] . THanks
[12:28] <daviey> Hallage, good 'o
[12:28] <linxeh> linuxnewbie756: there is no gui provided by the creators of the tool. use kgpg or whatever
[12:28] <xdx> hi, how can i correct this : libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x5b ?
[12:28] <linxeh> linuxnewbie756: or write a gui :)
[12:28] <hossasaur> adaptr: 1800mb/sec cached reads, 24mb/sec buffered disk reads
[12:28] <linuxnewbie756> linxeh, kgpg??? what is it and where can i get it?
[12:29] <linxeh> linuxnewbie756: it encrypts files and emails and such. kde gnu privacy guard (an open implementation of PGP)
[12:29] <linxeh> linuxnewbie756: it doesnt do filesystems though
[12:29] <adaptr> hossasaur: that is verra slow
[12:29] <Kresjah> Are there any specific reasons for a make failing, due to not finding an include file in a location specified to search for include files... _even_ if the include file actually is in that very path?
[12:29] <hossasaur> adaptr: i know, what's up with that
[12:30] <adaptr> hossasaur: but since it's SATA, you won't have much luck determining the settings with hdparm... try it anyway: hdparm /dev/whatever
[12:30] <adaptr> and also get the specs out of the drive: hdparm -i /dev/whatever
[12:30] <clotarn> hello
[12:30] <thingy> hossasaur, instead of hdparm use sdparam <-- for sata disks!
[12:30] <Explosif> what program can i use to recieve and play podcasts?
[12:30] <thingy> sdparm*
[12:31] <bruenig> Explosif, rhythmbox
[12:31] <clotarn> is some one good for grub help
[12:31] <hossasaur> thingy: it's not finding sdparam as a command

[12:35] <clotarn> sorry guys, my english is not so good, i just wonder how to get grub as i format my dual boot
[12:36] <Jordan_U> Savant2k6: Depends on what kernel you are using, most likely you just want -generic

[12:36] <daviey> clotarn, back up your existing grub?
[12:36] <clotarn> and i lost grub I do not know how having it back
[12:36] <Kresjah> daviey, keep in mind that I'm a newbie :p
[12:36] <clotarn> too late, lool dav
[12:37] <Kresjah> Basically, the ubuntu mesa packages does not include the mach64 kernel modules for security reasons, so I need to get them somehow, and there seems no other way than to build it myself

[12:38] <clotarn> thanks, I'll have a look there ok
[12:39] <Jordan_U> savant_: glxinfo | rendering

[12:41] <savant_> Jordan_U: ah! it seemed to have worked. strange thing is, the tutorial said i should see some nvidia logo after hitting ctrl+alt+backspace. and i didn't
[12:41] <cc2k> adaptr:  http://imagebin.org/7317   that shoudnt be like that  ^^
[12:41] <hossasaur> adaptr: how do i fix the speed problem?
[12:42] <linxeh> is there an ardour2 package somewhere for ubuntu ?
[12:42] <Jordan_U> savant_: That can be turned on or off, it should be on by default but just because it isn't displaying doesn't mean it isn't working
[12:42] <cypherdelic> Ha! I DO know, why Microsoft make a mircale of their source. Not because of they want to make money, but just because of their source is embarassing poor :)poor
[12:42] <Kresjah> daviey: Ok, done. Should I try to make again?
[12:43] <savant_> Jordan_U: i see. now i just need something to test it with. nice one
[12:43] <daviey> Kresjah, yeah
[12:43] <cypherdelic> if some functionality is given by a bad performing code, they dont care, because noone will ever see it
[12:43] <cypherdelic> so vista needs 1gib ram
[12:44] <daviey> Kresjah, are you following any guides?  I suggest making a deb package rather than actually installing
[12:44] <cc2k> :P
[12:44] <cypherdelic> i dont know why...
[12:44] <Kresjah> daviey: Nope, still the same story
[12:44] <Stuttergart> does anyone know what something like "@MKINSTALLDIRS@" means in a make file?
[12:44] <Jordan_U> cypherdelic: #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:44] <savant_> Jordan_U:  i still have the feeling that the desktop is still slower than in the MS System i wouldn't mention here... ^
[12:44] <Stuttergart> the significance of the "@" symbol
[12:44] <cypherdelic> it seems not to need it, if i watch memory usage of open source OSes that look nicer
[12:44] <Kresjah> daviey: I'm following the guide from www.mesa3d.org on compiling. Also, I have no idea on how to make .deb packages
[12:44] <armadill0> Hey does anyone know where I can find some good docs on how to implement live webcasts with linux, I'd like to record/ stream simultaneously.  Thanks!
[12:45] <linxeh> cypherdelic: actually a lot of the MS source isnt that bad
[12:45] <krgn_> hi
[12:45] <biteme> anyone here up for some brainpicking?
[12:45] <cc2k> http://imagebin.org/7317   that shoudnt be like that  ^^    i deleted all the files and folders in /var/www/    and shoudnt delete phpmyadmin,  now i copy paste it from /etc/phpmyadmin/ to  /var/www/   and it looks like that picture if i access it
[12:45] <cypherdelic> linxeh, but it isnt that good, either :)
[12:45] <linxeh> cypherdelic: no, but nor is most open source code
[12:45] <dyrne> armadill0: not really a good scalable solution maybe but i often just use vlc to stream. all in the gui if you want
[12:46] <cypherdelic> so if something wrong with open source, i go on irc
[12:46] <jahid> how can i see available users of my system?
[12:46] <david> why, when i dist-upgrade my Edgy installation, does it want to remove upstart and add sysvinit?
[12:46] <linxeh> cypherdelic: if something goes wrong on windows I phone MS and they will often send someone out
[12:46] <cypherdelic> what do i have to do with windows "send problem"?
[12:46] <dyrne> jahid: users currently logged in or all users with accounts?
[12:46] <dabide> need help (total linux newbie): i installed ubuntu server, but changed the network card afterwards and now i dont get the ip for the server over dhpc, what should i do?#
[12:46] <cypherdelic> lol i would never call microsoft
[12:46] <Kresjah> daviey: Would it be helpful if I pastebin the make log?
[12:46] <asdf> does nasm on x86_64 give output for 32 or 64bit?
[12:46] <jahid> all users with account and group
[12:46] <cypherdelic> i even did used it not legally
[12:46] <daviey> Kresjah, yeah, try it
[12:47] <linxeh> cypherdelic: well, we have a large support contract with Microsoft, Sun, HP and Redhat
[12:47] <Jordan_U> david: You should not use dist-upgrade to upgrade from dapper to Edgy
[12:47] <dyrne> jahid: dunno i usually just cat /etc/passwd
[12:47] <armadill0> dyrne ok coolness I'll check it out
[12:47] <cypherdelic> linxeh,  of course, money holding companys will arrive good support
[12:47] <cc2k> http://imagebin.org/7317   that shoudnt be like that  ^^    i deleted all the files and folders in /var/www/    and shoudnt delete phpmyadmin,  now i copy paste it from /etc/phpmyadmin/ to  /var/www/   and it looks like that picture if i access it<-- any1? plz ^^
[12:47] <ompaul> linxeh, cypherdelic, nothing to do with the fact that this is offtopic, and in fact the hidden calls made by their software, but if "approved OEM software makes those calls then it does not get called approved" has nothing to do with it, the fact that they have a policy of embrace and extent and break has nothing to do with it, sorry it is offtopic can we leave it there thanks.
[12:47] <cypherdelic> but if i, for person use, got a bug
[12:47] <daviey> linxeh, how many pages to this 'large contract' ;)
[12:47] <dyrne> armadill0: videolan has a website with howtos
[12:48] <david> Jordan_U: this is a fresh edgy install
[12:48] <linxeh> ompaul: sure, no worries. I simply said that MS code was really no worse than most open source code, but ok
[12:48] <jahid> how can i delete a user of my system?
[12:49] <david> Jordan_U: that wants to use sysv
[12:49] <linxeh> ompaul: and plenty of open projects "embrace and extend", but that's allowed
[12:49] <cypherdelic> jahid open /etc/passwd and delte the line of that user
[12:49] <jahid> ok
[12:49] <cypherdelic> then, if it is a human user
[12:49] <cypherdelic> delete the /home/user
[12:49] <Ranbee_> file:///home/iceni60/.irssi
[12:50] <Ranbee_> sorry
[12:50] <Jordan_U> david: Strange, what does it try to do if you run: sudo apt-get -f install
[12:50] <dyrne> jahid: deluser or edit the passwd file. there is a gui tool in ubuntu but i dont know gnome very well
[12:50] <switchy> hi, I installed a new gdm log in screen, but it doesn't match my moniter's optimal screen resolution, is there a way for me to scale it accordingly?
[12:50] <cc2k> any1 wanne help my phpmyadmin problem plz? ^^:)
[12:50] <david> Jordan_U: nothing
[12:50] <dyrne> jahid: youd just remove the whole line the user is in in passwd. if you just want to change groups and access you can sudo gedit /etc/group
[12:50] <daviey> cc2k, what is the prob; i told you what to do
[12:51] <Kresjah> daviey: http://rafb.net/YkLyWP44.html   <---- The make with errors. I've made one change to the configs, and that is adding two extra include paths to search for the files in (one of which is that linux-headers path). This has helped a lot, as I had probably 3 times or more errors searching for missing files earlier.
[12:51] <cc2k> u did?
[12:51] <david> Jordan_U: i'm using the ubuntu.mirrors.tds.net servers--could those be making it funky?
[12:51] <cc2k> u mean cp -a dir dir ?
[12:51] <daviey> cc2k, sudo apt-get remove phpmyadmin && sudo apt-get install php-myadmin
[12:51] <cc2k> last part is with the -?
[12:51] <daviey> cc2k, sorry ignore the '-' in the second part
[12:52] <cc2k> then i did that already :P
[12:52] <cc2k> but it didnt show up in the www folder
[12:52] <cc2k> then i copy it to the www folder and now its not working like it should ^^
[12:52] <Jordan_U> david: Shouldn't but try with the default servers and see if anything different happens.

[12:53] <iturk> hi there guys i am getting no scan results with my wireless tools! The board its working! in which place could be the problem ?
[12:53] <cc2k> dabide join the club, only kknow windows ^^:)
[12:54] <bryan986> Hello, I am trying to use my public ip to access my ubuntu server behind the same router as me, I want to use it like a local ip address so that I can test it as if someone was trying to connect from the internet, how would I get this to work? (It works from another network but not on the same one as the server)
[12:54] <Jordan_U> iturk: Is your wireless card supported?
[12:54] <riddlebox> how long is dapper supported for?
[12:54] <cc2k> bryan proxy problem maybe? i have the same problem..
[12:55] <iturk> Jordan_U: yes
[12:55] <dyrne> dabide: sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces   or you can do through the gui
[12:55] <Quintin> bryan986: that may or may not work depending on your router.  if it's a storebought router, there's not much you can do to make it work.  You can just use the local IP and it should be what anyone connecting from the net would get.
[12:55] <dabide> dyrne: how do i start the gui in ubuntu server?
[12:55] <dyrne> dabide: you could also just sudo gedit /etc/iftab   and switch the device names for the mac addresses
[12:56] <iturk> Jordan_U: i also install the latests wireless tools 2.8 version so it should work
[12:56] <dyrne> dabide: sorry sudo nano
[12:56] <Quintin> dabide: by default I don't think there is a GUI in ubuntu server ..
[12:56] <dabide> Quintin: thought so :)
[12:56] <Quintin> dabide: Are you using a supported card?  is it listed in lspci or dmesg ?
[12:57] <Quintin> iturk: are you using supported chipset?
[12:57] <stiz> im looking at the ubuntu guide for WPA and /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf does not exsist, and wpa supplicant is installed
[12:57] <Quintin> Oh, this is important.
[12:57] <iturk> Quintin: yes a really linux friendly one
[12:57] <bryan986> Quintin: yes I know I would get the same thing, but I would like to be able to test out that things such as a domain is working
[12:57] <dyrne> dabide: thought you just added another nic
[12:57] <Quintin> Does anyone here know ubuntuforums.org admin ???
[12:57] <cc2k> david: u saw what i wrote about the phpmyadmin?

[12:57] <Sergo> hello
[12:57] <Sergo> it is possible to empy reclye bin from console ?-)
[12:58] <dabide> dyrne: no, i changed the card (ethernet) - removed the old one, and plugged the new one in, but made no further steps on the server
[12:58] <Quintin> bryan986: Shouldn't be any reason to need to test that, just make sure your dns is configured properly
[12:58] <Quintin> Sergo: there are '.Trash' directories around.. find them
[12:58] <Jordan_U> Quintin: Why?
[12:58] <Quintin> dabide: lspci , dmesg

[01:05] <savant_> doh. is there no flash player for amd64 / firefox available?
[01:05] <Quintin> savant_: 64bit is usually more trouble than it's worth..
[01:05] <Blais1> Hi there,
[01:05] <lufi1> savant_: nope, you can thank adobe for that.
[01:05] <rmd_> lufi1: the implication here is that vinboy is very clever and has corrected your terminology.
[01:05] <cc2k> any1 here know how to fix my phpmyadmin window,   i deleted from the  /var/www/ folder and  then i did apt-get remove and install,  but it didnt came back in the www folder so i did a cp -a /etc/phpmyadmin/ /var/www/    but that didnt work http://imagebin.org/7317  i can use some help, as im a ubuntu n00b ^^
[01:06] <lufi1> rmd_: i'm very amused.
[01:06] <Blais1> How do I change my refresh rate without reconfiguring X?
[01:06] <Jordan_U> savant_: Nope, not for windows or Linux, you can get the 32 bit version to work though
[01:06] <dabide> Quintin: yes the ethernet card shows up in lspci, etc/network/interfaces has it set to dhpc - how  can i check if its got an ip? (by now i checked in the router status)
[01:06] <Quintin> Jordan_U: I click a link on that page.. and it happens again.  I am very unhappy. :(
[01:06] <vinboy> sorry guys
[01:06] <rmd_> lufi1: as is everyone else, i assure you.
[01:06] <Quintin> dabide: ifconfig
[01:06] <savant_> Jordan_U:  okeez, will try the 32bit then. thx :)

[01:07] <dyrne> lufi1: the first link
[01:07] <lufi1> dyrne: thanks
[01:07] <Blais1> dyrne: It doesn't give me the full range that I have in xorg.conf
[01:07] <dyrne> Blais1: eh?
[01:07] <dyrne> Blais1: only the lower rates showing up as options?
[01:08] <Blais1> dyrne: I want 1680x1050@60, this isn't available
[01:08] <Blais1> the lower rez's also
[01:08] <gaussian88> dabide: I just jumped and I don't know the beginning of your conversation, but you can always check your IP of your interfaced by typing: ifconfig in your terminal window (Accessories --> Terminal)
[01:08] <gaussian88> dabide: I just jumped in ......
[01:08] <Quintin> Blais1: are you sure your monitor supports that?
[01:08] <iturk> Quintin: by the way i am using kernel 2.6.19 so wireless extensions its WE-19 so wireless-tools should work fine
[01:08] <Blais1> yes
[01:08] <Blais1> I forced it to 1680x1050@75 and it doesn't look good
[01:09] <Blais1> I've very fuzzy text
[01:09] <dyrne> Blais1: gogole for a online modline calculator
[01:09] <Blais1> ok
[01:09] <dyrne> Blais1: youll have to edit xorg or do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:10] <shadowhywind> anyone have any idea why when i try to use my wireless my my computer slows down to a halt
[01:10] <Blais1> no probs
[01:10] <christopher> I setup a print server but the test page spits out single lines of gibberish per page. I've setup that printer locally on linux before, but for some reason the printer isn't working this time..
[01:10] <Quintin> iturk: I'm lost if you don't get anything from above..  sudo su and then iwlist scanning should show something
[01:11] <Jordan_U_> savant_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava
[01:11] <jahid> is there any light weight ftp server, i will just use in LAN, so i don't need that much security or complexity
[01:11] <juano__> christopher: mmm, this happens remotely or on the server as well ?
[01:11] <megafauna> Hi I seem to have killed all sound coming out of my box, I believe that I turnt off (or on) Service Settings --> Audio Settings Management. How do I turn it back on pls?
[01:11] <christopher> juano__, well I'm sending the test page remotly, via the webpage admin interface
[01:12] <christopher> juano, dunno if that counts as remotely or not
[01:12] <Jordan_U_> savant_: Sorry my wireless is flakey, I hope that link got to you.
[01:12] <juano__> christopher: sounds like a printer issue more than soft config, though have you tried it with windows or something ? , same results ?
[01:12] <iturk> Quintin: after i install wireless-tools i dont have iwconfig working but iwlist its installed .. isnt it strange ?
[01:13] <gaussian88> jahid: Use gftp
[01:13] <christopher> juano__, I'm 99.9% sure the printer is fine.
[01:13] <dabide> when i modify etc/network/interfaces and want to save it with "save interfaces" i get "e212: cant open file for writing" - whats the right command to save this in vim?
[01:13] <gaussian88> jahid: simple, but not too too light
[01:13] <iturk> Quintin: this doing make and make install of wilress-tools 28
[01:13] <Jordan_U_> megafauna: in a terminal run alsamixer
[01:13] <juano__> christopher: hehe good, well we know its a soft configuration
[01:13] <Quintin> dabide: you're not root.
[01:13] <Quintin> dabide: :w ~/tmpfile
[01:14] <Quintin> dabide: then copy it later
[01:14] <juano__> christopher: is this printer shared with samba ? or how are you sharing the printer ?
[01:14] <Quintin> iturk: building from source makes it a lot harder to give support
[01:14] <lightup> Is it possible to disable the graphics card in my AGP slot and run from my onboard graphics without removing the card?
[01:14] <megafauna> Jordan_U trying now:)
[01:14] <Hasrat_USA> I typed man in the terminal and it brought up some text. but how can i now go back to the normal terminal and quit man?
[01:14] <christopher> juana__, I haven't install samba yet, I'm jus trying to get the test page to print fisrt
[01:14] <bruenig> q
[01:14] <Quintin> lightup: Probably.  Look at the BIOS for your computer, not here. (!)
[01:14] <bruenig> Hasrat_USA, q
[01:14] <Hasrat_USA> damn!
[01:14] <Quintin> Hasrat_USA: q
[01:14] <jahid> gaussian88, i tried to install gftp through my synaptic package manager
[01:14] <Hasrat_USA> thanks it was so easy and quick and my ignorance is to blame
[01:14] <jahid> but, i just get clients, but no server
[01:15] <lightup> Quintin: ok thanks, I thought it was something you did in the OS
[01:15] <juano__> christopher: ah ok , so your printing through the server
[01:15] <christopher> juano__, I haven't installed cups raster or the gimp drivers, I don't know if they come standard or not
[01:15] <juano__> christopher: on the machine that the printer is connected to
[01:15] <iturk> Quintin: from apt the version its 19 and my driver in the kernel its prepared to work with 21 but when i try to compile 21 i get 'C' stange errors
[01:15] <gaussian88> jahid: ohhh  I thought you wanted a client.  I'm not too familiar w/ ftp servers
[01:15] <megafauna> Jordan_U  It is on and the bars are empty (Amarok is playing)
[01:15] <gaussian88> jahid: sorry
[01:15] <Hasrat_USA> there are 966 people in this room omg!
[01:15] <jahid> gaussian88, its alright
[01:15] <bruenig> I have 965
[01:15] <megafauna> Jordan_U_  It is on and the bars are empty (Amarok is playing)
[01:15] <ubuntunewbie> hi, I'm new to ubuntu. I installed network-manager but my wireless connection isn't showing up in network manager. Can someone please help me?
[01:15] <Quintin> iturk: I can't support compiling stuff from source.  use the .debs
[01:15] <gaussian88> 964.   liers!
[01:16] <iturk> Quintin: so i deceide to use the latest source 28 which didnt gave any errors in compiling
[01:16] <juano__> christopher: it could be helpful to look up in synaptic those GIMP drivers
[01:16] <Quintin> ubuntunewbie: what chipset?
[01:16] <megafauna> Jordan_U_  What does this mean?
[01:16] <juano__> christopher: if you need them, that is
[01:16] <gaussian88> it's like a trading floor
[01:16] <Jordan_U> megafauna: You have the volume turned down
[01:16] <ubuntunewbie> Quintin ipw2200
[01:16] <kurbacik> anybody know how to configure PPTP in Ubuntu?
[01:16] <christopher> juano__, I found a driver and it's supposed to work 100%. (a ppd file)
[01:16] <kurbacik> what is needed?
[01:17] <Quintin> ubuntunewbie: and what does going to google and typing 'ipw2200 ubuntu' tell you?
[01:17] <juano__> christopher: and its installed ?
[01:17] <Jordan_U> megafauna: Use the right / left arrow keys to choose a channel and up and down keys to raise and lower the volume
[01:17] <megafauna> Jordan_U_  k
[01:17] <Plecebo> if my laptop is having trouble with display on the live cd what boot params shoudl i use? i tried vga=771 and i still get the boot up sound with no display
[01:17] <christopher> juano__, yeah pretty sure.
[01:17] <christopher> juano__, not 100% sure.
[01:17] <Plecebo> i can switch to a terminal ctrl+alt+f1
[01:17] <ubuntunewbie> Quintin, I looked at ubuntu guide and it said that if I want to use WPA, all I need is to install network-manager
[01:17] <juano__> christopher: ok, do you know the package name in synaptic ?
[01:18] <Jordan_U> Plecebo: Yes
[01:18] <seravitae> is there a channel for specific help with x server?
[01:18] <Hasrat_USA> okay folks here's another terrific problem: after an otherwise nice installation of ubuntu on my desktop (AMD 64 dual core 3000+ with 1024 MBs of dual-channel DDR2 ram and 160GB HDD) I experienced a rather anoying feature : my usb mouse (Logitech optical wheel mouse) stalls after some time. Unplugging the USB chord and re-plugging it instantly solves the problem. but again after a very few minutes it occurs again
[01:18] <bruenig> seravitae, this will do for the most part
[01:18] <christopher> juano__, cups web interface says this  "HP DeskJet 940C Foomatic/hpijs (recommended)"
[01:18] <Plecebo> Jordan_U, yes what?
[01:18] <juano__> christopher: you might wanna try a sudo apt-get install $drivername  , to check and be sure its installed properly
[01:18] <megafauna> Jordan_U_  hmm, still trying
[01:18] <seravitae> doubt it but ill try
[01:19] <juano__> christopher: ok, its detecting your printer fine
[01:19] <Jordan_U> Plecebo: You can switch to a terminal with ctrl + alt + F1
[01:19] <juano__> christopher: mm seems so though, is that the proper model ?
[01:19] <seravitae> bruneig - i just deleted nvidia-settings.rc, reset my xconfig to standard twinview because for some reason my X screen was 1280x1024 but my resolution was 1024x768 (i did *not* change this)
[01:19] <seravitae> so for some reason my entire display was scrolling.
[01:19] <elias__> where can i get libartsc0?
[01:19] <seravitae> now i'm back on standard twinview and im still vertically scrolling.
[01:19] <Jordan_U> megafauna: Use the m key to mute / unmute a channel
[01:19] <Plecebo> Jordan_U, oh i know, i was saying that i could do that... but how do i get some GUI goin? what can i do at the live cd to get that working?
[01:19] <seravitae> what the f** caused this and how do i stop it
[01:19] <christopher> juano__, up exactly the same as what's on the printer
[01:19] <megafauna> Jordan_U_  k /trying the mute
[01:19] <juano__> christopher: goo then
[01:19] <juano__> christopher: good*
[01:20] <juano__> christopher: mm maybe some settings at printing time
[01:20] <megafauna> Jordan_U_  :-DDDDDDDD

[01:26] <Jordan_U> !alien | Comrade-Sergei_
[01:26] <ubotu> Comrade-Sergei_: 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)

[01:31] <geemy> dont know
[01:31] <krasher> hey why security.ubuntu.com repository is so slow today?
[01:31] <nikin> Wrasher: everyone is downloading i think :D
[01:32] <Jordan_U> Comrade-Sergei_: That isn't an RPM
[01:32] <Comrade-Sergei_> Jordan_U yes it is a tar.z
[01:33] <Jordan_U> Comrade-Sergei_: tar.gz is not RPM
[01:33] <Jordan_U> Comrade-Sergei_: Just open it with login window preferences
[01:33] <Comrade-Sergei_> Jordan_U yes i know cant you use alien for that
[01:33] <Jordan_U> Comrade-Sergei_: No.
[01:34] <Jordan_U> Comrade-Sergei_: Nor would you need to
[01:34] <rmd_> krasher: look in the options somewhere... under something like "applications"
[01:34] <dalani> Is it "apt-get install package"(.deb)???
[01:34] <dabide> again (my pc keeps crashing..) my misery: i installed ubuntu server 6.10, but physically changed the network card after the installation, before everything worked fine and i could connet via ssh to the server, but afer the change of the nic the server doesnt get an ip-adress from the router, lspci shows it, ifconfig tells that he ip is 127.0.0.1 - i tried in etc/network/interfaces to set it from dhpc to: "iface eth0 inet static     adress 192
[01:34] <Jordan_U> Comrade-Sergei_: It is already in the format you need it to be
[01:34] <Comrade-Sergei_> Jordan_U how would you do it then
[01:34] <Comrade-Sergei_> i run ubuntu
[01:34] <Jordan_U> Comrade-Sergei_: Just open it with login window preferences
[01:34] <Comrade-Sergei_> how?
[01:34] <dalani> to install a single package.deb
[01:35] <dalani> Is it "apt-get install package"(.deb)???
[01:35] <bigtoyota479> anyone had problems with nForce 3 chipsets and sata HD's on install??
[01:35] <Jordan_U> Comrade-Sergei_: System -> Administration -> Login Window then click the Add button
[01:35] <Comrade-Sergei_> wait i know nm
[01:35] <shatrat> dalani, dpkg -i file.deb, but are you sure you cant find it in a repo somewhre?
[01:35] <Comrade-Sergei_> im a noob apparently
[01:36] <Ian-C> Howdy all!  I'm using Edgy on an x86 with a Rage128 video card.  I selected a screen saver that crashes X each and every time (though thankfully the machine stays up and the Cron jobs run - the reason I put the machine together).  How can I completely turn off the screen saver, or at least change it to one that doesn't crash.  I can't change it via the control panel aplet because that immediately invokes the crash
[01:36] <dalani> Shatrai no I downloaded the app
[01:36] <dougb> i have a problem, i did "sudo chmod -x /usr/sbin/dhcbd"  and "sudo chmod -x /usr/sbin/NetworkManager " to stop networkmanager from running, but now I want it back.  I've already tried doing chmod -X to both of them, but it still did not work.  any other ideas?
[01:36] <dyrne> dabide: the ip of your nic is 127.0.0.1?
[01:36] <kk_> hi
[01:36] <krel> dougb: have you tried +x
[01:37] <shatrat> dalani, I realize, but if you could find whatever youre trying to install in a repository, either main or universe or multiverse, tahts a better solution.  If the .deb is the only source you can find, use dpkg -i to install it
[01:37] <dabide> dyrne: thats whats under "inet addr:" in ifconfig
[01:37] <jstarcher> os[Linux 2.6.17-10-386 i686]  distro[Debian testing/unstable]  cpu[1 x AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 150    @ 2.82GHz]  mem[Physical : 2026MB, 68.7% free]  disk[Total : 291.76GB, 78.60% Free]  video[nVidia Corporation GeForce 7800 GTX]  sound[] 
[01:37] <Jordan_U> Ian-C: You need to edit some .desktop files, let me find a link to a thread that might help.
[01:37] <dalani> shatrat I downloaded a commercial package demo version
[01:37] <dyrne> dabide: are you sure thats not the loopback   lo device?
[01:37] <shatrat> dalani, I see, well dpkg is the way to go to install a .deb
[01:37] <dabide> dyrne: youre right, it is
[01:37] <dyrne> dabide: heh
[01:38] <dalani> shatrat thanks
[01:38] <dabide> so what am i doing wrong? :(
[01:39] <dyrne> dabide: what do you get if you type sudo ifconfig eth0 up; sudo dhclient eth0
[01:39] <Jordan_U> Ian-C: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=198809 Read through the instructions, you don't need to install xscreensaver since all you want to do is disable a screensaver
[01:39] <Ian-C> Jordan_U:  Thanks.  I knew I had to edit something, and Googled myself blue trying to find which files.
[01:40] <Naik0> Jordan_U: i think i know the problem, i checked /var/log/Xorg.0.log and it says something about /dev/wacom error
[01:40] <dyrne> dabide: should aquire an ipaddress
[01:40] <dyrne> dabide: assuming the router or whatever is accepting dhcp req
[01:40] <dabide> dyrne: ficonfig eth0 up: error, no such device
[01:41] <dabide> dyrne: i dint make any changes to the server after i changed the nic
[01:42] <dyrne> dabide: what is your configuration? like isp --> router --> computer ?
[01:43] <dabide> dyrne: its not a router problem, i just checked on my windows pc, the dhpc adress assigning works
[01:43] <dougb> if my question was answered, i missed it because my computer froze
[01:43] <dyrne> dabide: cat /etc/iftab or ifconfig -a  what is your device name? eth1?
[01:43] <Jordan_U> Ian-C: By the way, you should send a bug report about that screensaver
[01:44] <dabide> ha.. "eth3"
[01:44] <dyrne> dabide: is that the only nic on the computer youre using?

[01:45] <au_>  if [[ $num -eq ${nej[$a] }] ] ; then echo "ahoj"; fi - why it doesn't work?

[01:46] <dyrne> dabide: sudo nano /etc/iftab  remove the other lines and assign the current eth3 mac address to eth0, you dont need to but it will avoid confusion.
[01:46] <dyrne> dabide: or just go ahead and sudo ifconfig eth3 up; sudo dhclient eth3
[01:47] <Ian-C> Jordan_U:  From what I've read, the fact that several of the 3D screen savers crash X is fairly well known - do you think they really need the Bug Report?
[01:47] <Mazz> would anyone be able to help with VGA ---> Composite using an nvidia card? all i get is a black screen
[01:48] <greg_> hi
[01:48] <Jordan_U> Ian-C: I don't know *shrug* use your own judgement
[01:48] <bogdan> fete ? :P
[01:48] <dyrne> dabide: then do sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces and add the lines auto eth0 and the next line iface eth0 inet dhcp
[01:49] <greg_> how do i open gparted?
[01:49] <Jordan_U> Mazz: Do you have the Beta nvidia drivers installed?
[01:49] <Get_A_Fi1> good day all. would this be the place to ask for help adding a second video card, P4 and Ubuntu 6.06 ?
[01:49] <Jordan_U> greg_: On the LiveCD?
[01:49] <macrin> hi all,
[01:49] <Mazz> do not know Jordan
[01:49] <bogdan> hi
[01:49] <Mazz> would that make a difference?
[01:49] <dabide> dyrne: thx alot, its now working
[01:49] <dyrne> dabide: np
[01:49] <macrin> i have problem with frequency on nvidia ubuntu 6.10
[01:49] <greg_> no from installed ubuntu
[01:49] <Jordan_U> Mazz: Yes
[01:49] <Mazz> how can i tell?
[01:50] <dabide> bye
[01:50] <Mazz> it works fine with a normal monitor and stuff
[01:50] <Mazz> just doesnt on the tv
[01:50] <macrin> maybe there is somebdoy that can help me resolve this problem
[01:50] <Mazz> the little "composite" icon at the top is moving around
[01:50] <jmalone68> Hello all.  Any LTSP experts in the building
[01:50] <Mazz> but a black screen
[01:50] <BHSPitLappy> Hi all.
[01:50] <Jordan_U> Mazz: Are you trying to install Beryl /compiz?
[01:51] <Mazz> Nope
[01:51] <jmalone68> I need help with auto login on Linux Terminal Server under Ubuntu
[01:51] <Jordan_U> Mazz: Oh, sorry, I misunderstood when you said composit, I was thinking composited Window manager :)
[01:51] <BHSPitLappy> I'm seeking a way to be able to use this laptop so that I can connect to a Wifi network, and then connect an ethernet (crossover, maybe?) cable between it and another computer, thus giving that computer internet access.
[01:52] <Mazz> ah nono :)
[01:52] <BHSPitLappy> Any suggestions for getting this done, software-wise?
[01:52] <Mazz> using vga --> composite for hdtv
[01:52] <Mazz> im thinking it might be the refresh rate
[01:52] <sebrock> does anyone know how to change the volume keys on my keyboard to the same volume as the one in the upper right corner?
[01:53] <dougb> network-manager isn't running for me
[01:53] <ulysses> Hello everybody
[01:53] <ulysses> I'm jsut curious
[01:53] <ulysses> What OS does everybody here use?
[01:54] <betatux> msdos
[01:54] <Jordan_U> ulysses: I think most probably use Ubuntu ;)
[01:54] <DARKGuy> Windows 3.1
[01:54] <ulysses> If you're gonna use DOS, use FreeDOS
[01:54] <Jordan_U> MS bob
[01:54] <DARKGuy> haha
[01:54] <jmalone68> Trying like mad to get Ubuntu to do what I want!
[01:54] <betatux> Atari
[01:54] <ulysses> but seriously, I'm jsut trying to be a moron
[01:54] <DARKGuy> AmigaOS (?)
[01:54] <th1> can anyone help me how to change the default browser in KDE with Ubuntu/edgy?
[01:55] <bruenig> th1, what are you trying to change it to
[01:55] <th1> firefox from konquerir, bruenig
[01:55] <Doug52392> hello
[01:55] <bruenig> th1, sudo update-alternatives --set x-www-browser /usr/bin/firefox
[01:55] <greg_> ulysses, :O
[01:55] <blackduck3> Hello
[01:55] <bruenig> !hi | blackduck3
[01:55] <ubotu> blackduck3: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[01:55] <DARKGuy> Okaaaaay what the hell? my right screen just got a right shift and I had to scroll it back to the left, o_O!
[01:57] <Doug52392> I got a question about Ubuntu
[01:57] <th1> bruenig thanks, that worked! ..
[01:57] <bruenig> yes I figured it would
[01:57] <th1> but some people in #kde said it should be in KControl under Components, but it wasn't there
[01:57] <bruenig> !justask | Doug52392
[01:57] <ubotu> Doug52392: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:57] <Dame> Ive inserted new PCI sound card (my previous one was on-board) and now I have sound randomly. Sometimes when I boot I have sound on the on-board card and sometimes on the new PCI card. I want to have sound on both of them every time. What I need to do?
[01:57] <mahound> hey
[01:57] <Sergo> who know an good video player
[01:57] <bruenig> totem
[01:57] <DARKGuy> Sergo: Totem, VLC
[01:58] <bruenig> !media players
[01:58] <Doug52392> How do I install Ubuntu with Windows XP all ready installed and dual-boot between the 2 operating systems?
[01:58] <DARKGuy> Mplayer too
[01:58] <ubotu> Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Banshee, Beep Media Player, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine  -  See also !codecs
[01:58] <th1> sergo depends what you want to play and what you have if it is amd64 or i386
[01:58] <Sergo> totem cannot play .wma
[01:58] <mahound> i'm having trouble installing gentoo in an lg laptop with a sata hd
[01:58] <DARKGuy> !wma
[01:58] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[01:58] <mahound> *ubuntu, sorry
[01:58] <th1> Sergo, but it can if you install w32-codcs
[01:58] <Sergo> i386
[01:58] <redguy> Dame: disable you onboard sound card in your BIOS?
[01:58] <sebrock> ?? where is the keyboard mapping located?
[01:58] <bruenig> Doug52392, go through the installer on the ubuntu live cd and let it partition for you. It will set up the dual boot and after everything is installed, you will be able to choose when you boot which OS
[01:58] <mahound> "ata1: port reset"
[01:58] <Poromenos1> why do I get a  "cannot find encoder MPEG AAC Audio" error when i try to encode with ffmpeg?
[01:59] <Dame> redguy, I cant get sound on both of them?
[01:59] <anevelos> Hi room
[01:59] <bruenig> !hi | anevelos
[01:59] <ubotu> anevelos: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[01:59] <Doug52392> so it does not reformat the hard drive, just resizes the current partition?
[01:59] <anevelos> All of a sudden I am not able to download updates
[01:59] <shatrat> Dame, there may be a way to do that, but I dont know it and it would be unusual, Youd have to do some reading
[01:59] <redguy> Dame: you didn't say you wanted sound on both of them
[01:59] <bruenig> Doug52392, right if you pick the second option that says it will resize
[01:59] <SilentDis> hello
[02:00] <redguy> Dame: sure you can
[02:00] <lordkeiden> has anyone had a bad experience with HP tech chat? I am conference calling with a rep from executive support on monday about their web support, and would like other cases besides my own. If you have the email of the chat history they usually send after the chat, that is best.
[02:00] <_siegfried_> I have a new ubuntu installation and I want to print an open office document. I have added my printer but nothing happens when I print from open office.
[02:00] <th1> Doug52392, as long as you don't have converted your XP disk to a "Dynamic Disk" then you can resize the XP partition with the ubuntu installer
[02:00] <anevelos> I must have done something
[02:00] <shatrat> Doug52392, it resizes the NTFS partition, and then creates and formats 2 partitions on the empty space
[02:00] <bruenig> !offtopic | lordkeiden
[02:00] <ubotu> lordkeiden: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[02:00] <DJNOVA2006> has anyonde tired out herd4? Im downloading it now
[02:00] <Dame> redguy, I said i want that but ok. How I get sound on both?
[02:00] <LjL> tired out? as in, stress testing?
[02:00] <shatrat> DJNOVA2006, try #ubuntu+1
[02:00] <DJNOVA2006> any testing?
[02:01] <anevelos> I get an window on the toolbar that says Starting Administration Application
[02:01] <anevelos> but the window closes
[02:01] <Doug52392> does it automaticly set the dual boot up?
[02:01] <redguy> Dame: hmm that's not very easy as far as i know
[02:01] <bruenig> anevelos, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[02:01] <Dame> !sound
[02:01] <anevelos> bueno
[02:01] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[02:01] <bruenig> Doug52392, essentially yes, just check the right option
[02:01] <blackduck3> I am running ubuntu on a PowerBook G4. i want to know how to boot from disk i am trying to put Dreamlinux
[02:01] <x-5t4t1c> here goes: I have two HD's one had 1 partition with winxp, 2nd had 6 partitions 1 ntfs, 1 swap, 1 root (ubuntu) and some empty ones, i lost access to my 2nd drive and have bad superblocks, but formatted and installed ubuntu on the 1st one. any ideas?
[02:02] <shatrat> Doug52392, and remember to defrag first, and back up just in case
[02:02] <th1> bruenig, regarding that answer you gave me before.. how to set default browser.. where could I have found that out, without asking?
[02:02] <Doug52392> ok, thanks.
[02:02] <bruenig> th1, don't know, someone told me in here is how I found out
[02:02] <th1> heh ok, thanks :)
[02:03] <Get_A_Fi1> hello
[02:03] <anevelos> bruenig: I tried that in a terminal but got an error
[02:03] <bruenig> anevelos, well paste the error, if it is long use pastebin
[02:03] <bruenig> !pastebin
[02:03] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[02:03] <anevelos> unable to lookup vaio-laptop via gethostbyname()
[02:03] <redguy> Dame: www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/ lofiversion/index.php/t48385.html might help you
[02:04] <DJNOVA2006> my screen res has only one option in 6.10, i only get 640*480 how can i increase it? Is there a driver out there? Its just a standard graphics card built into the motherboard
[02:04] <SilentDis> while I know many of you DON'T have this bit of hardware... I'd appreciate it if someone could look over the work I did on the Ximeta Netdrive Wiki, for installing in Ubuntu 6.10.  Please tell me if there's glaring problems: http://code.ximeta.com/trac-ndas/wiki/Ubuntu6.10
[02:04] <bruenig> anevelos, odd error, never seen that before. Sounds like a local problem
[02:04] <x-5t4t1c> any one know a good program i can run on linux for data recovery? i cannot access partitions on a drive (bad superblocks)
[02:04] <redguy> darn /me has to remember not to tell people that thigs are not easy
[02:04] <anevelos> ok thanks
[02:05] <redguy> x-5t4t1c: giving us the filesystem type might hel helping you
[02:05] <Flamekebab> I know it's not entirely ubuntu related, but how would I go about adding a command to Firefox to open links intended for Windows? (in this case, the link is xfire:get_game_rig)
[02:05] <x-5t4t1c> it's the whole drive, ext2, ext3, ntfs
[02:06] <Naik0> hey my gdm couldnt write to my authority file, so i cant login to any session
[02:06] <Naik0> how do i fix this?
[02:06] <DARKGuy> DJNOVA2006: try running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver", following the instructions there will help you to choose other resolutions (it will be best to do it out of X, inside a tty terminal)
[02:06] <x-5t4t1c> not the whole drive, sorry, i have access to a swap partition on there
[02:06] <bruenig> Naik0, can you get to tty and delete it
[02:06] <DARKGuy> DJNOVA2006: erm, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:06] <shatrat> Flamekebab, well, to do that youd have to be running xfire
[02:06] <Poromenos1> anevelos: it's probably that ubuntu doesn't do wins resolution
[02:06] <SilentDis> x-5t4t1c, I think what he was looking for was a pastebin output of this command:  sudo fdisk -l /dev/drive (where drive is hdb or whereever it's located)
[02:06] <sebrock> please anyone help me with this
[02:06] <Naik0> bruenig: is it .Xauthority i should delete?
[02:07] <bruenig> Naik0, sounds like it
[02:07] <Flamekebab> shatrat, I know and I have it running under Wine
[02:07] <Flamekebab> it seems to work surprisingly well
[02:07] <Poromenos1> anevelos: try this: http://www.poromenos.org/node/53
[02:07] <sebrock> My multimediakeys for volume is changing the wrong volume, how do I change this???
[02:07] <Poromenos1> why do I get a  "cannot find encoder MPEG AAC Audio" error when i try to encode with ffmpeg?
[02:07] <shatrat> Flamekebab, there is an xfire plugin for gaim that works well, and you dont have to bother with wine
[02:07] <bruenig> Naik0, sometimes .Xauthority gets owned by root when you open graphical applications with sudo
[02:07] <Flamekebab> I know there is, but still, I'm trying to get it working with browser integration
[02:08] <x-5t4t1c> ok, how do i post that much info?
[02:08] <Flamekebab> and GAIM doesn't really cut it
[02:08] <Flamekebab> it's not IMPORTANT, sure, but it's a bit of a challenge
[02:08] <bruenig> !caps
[02:08] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[02:08] <rmd_> i want to define a custom thunar action to convert .flv to .mpg using ffmpeg.. but i can't quite figure out how to get it to work.  how to i make the output file have a different extention?
[02:08] <redguy> x-5t4t1c: the only reasonable thing that comes to my mind is dd
[02:08] <x-5t4t1c> what id dd?
[02:08] <SilentDis> !dd | x-5t4t1c
[02:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:08] <x-5t4t1c> what is dd i mean, i ran the fdisk item, and it gave 6 partitions for hdb
[02:08] <SilentDis> !info dd | x-5t4t1c
[02:08] <DARKGuy> That's contradictory, ubotu itself shouts when telling people to not to shout =P
[02:08] <bruenig> x-5t4t1c, do man dd
[02:08] <ubotu> x-5t4t1c: Package dd does not exist in edgy, edgy-seveas
[02:09] <shatrat> Flamekebab, I dont know how to do it exactly, but I think what you need to do is change the way that firefox handles xfire: links, but I dont know if theres a way to make linux firefox communicate with xfire in wine.  good luck
[02:09] <Naik0> how do i kill all x things
[02:09] <sparr> Naik0: including X?
[02:09] <Naik0> yepps
[02:09] <Naik0> something with 3
[02:09] <sparr> ctrl alt backspace
[02:09] <DJNOVA2006> Thanks DARKGUY, im going to ask what seems like a stupid question, how do i leave X to get to the terminal? Im a noob
[02:09] <x-5t4t1c> thank you, I'll try that dd
[02:09] <blackduck3> I want to install dreamlinux. i use a powerbook  g4. how do i boot it from cd ?
[02:09] <Naik0> sparr: no not that way
[02:09] <Naik0> inet 3 or something
[02:09] <sparr> init 3
[02:09] <Naik0> ok
[02:09] <bruenig> blackduck3, put the dreamlinux cd in
[02:09] <sparr> i dont know if that works in ubuntu...
[02:09] <DARKGuy> DJNOVA2006: Welcome ^^ that's easy, control + alt + F1 through F6 IIRC
[02:10] <Frogzoo> DJNOVA2006: ctrl alt f1-f6
[02:10] <SilentDis> Naik0, I run gnome... I use sudo killall gdm.  that'll leave you empty for all x stuff.  if you want to just restart X, it's ctrl-alt-backspace
[02:10] <blackduck3> Then ?
[02:10] <bruenig> blackduck3, it should boot
[02:10] <anevelos> Thanks all for the help and attention...adios
[02:10] <Flamekebab> cheers anyway, shatrat
[02:10] <redguy> DJNOVA2006: after that alt-f7 to get back to X
[02:10] <blackduck3> I done that nothing happens
[02:10] <sebrock> how do I change the default volume in alsamixer????
[02:10] <sparr> redbox: or alt-f8, if you have two X running
[02:10] <shatrat> blackduck3, reboot, i should boot from CD, if it doesnt you might need to hit F12 or something for a boot menu, or change the boot order in the bios, it will depend on your pc
[02:10] <bruenig> blackduck3, perhaps bad file or bad burn or maybe your computer and its hardware is not supported
[02:10] <blackduck3> do I need to write in a command?
[02:10] <sparr> sebrock: alsactl store 0
[02:11] <sebrock> spar, what does that do exactly? the zero?
[02:11] <DARKGuy> Actually, how can I run two X windows separately (so I can kill :0 and leave :1 running, or something like that) but allowing the mouse to navigage between the two ?
[02:11] <sparr> sebrock: first sound card
[02:11] <sebrock> sparr ^^
[02:11] <DARKGuy> *navigate
[02:11] <shiv> hi
[02:11] <sebrock> sparr, I only have one, thats not the problem. It's already set, but its a 5.1 card and the wrong volume is changed
[02:11] <Jackz> I'm using a 7800GT and whenever I go to boot any form of Ubuntu I get artifacts.  I've tried 6.06, 6.10, and even the text-only install of 6.10, which was a disaster.  The artifacts are bearable at first, but as time progresses they RAPIDLY get worse, and after only a few clicks the computer freezes. Any explainations?
[02:12] <redguy> DARKGuy: hmm x2x perhaps?
[02:12] <DARKGuy> redguy: x2x? never heard of it :p
[02:12] <blackduck3> Thanks
[02:12] <Naik0> gaah its not working!
[02:12] <DARKGuy> !x2x
[02:12] <ubotu> x2x: Link two X displays together, simulating a multiheaded display. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.27.svn.20060501-1 (edgy), package size 20 kB, installed size 76 kB
[02:12] <DARKGuy> Oh :o
[02:12] <DJNOVA2006> Thanks guys for your help im off to try it out.
[02:12] <sparr> DARKGuy: just the mouse?  that should work just by having two screens
[02:12] <DARKGuy> sparr: yeah, I have dual display set up, but sometimes I want to kill the primary monitor and leave the second running, but if I kill :0, :0.1 is linked to it so :/
[02:12] <sparr> sebrock: you lost me.  you already did alsactl store 0?
[02:12] <SilentDis> Jackz, i had a very similar problem on my machine.  it turned out to be really bad settings in my bios.  I do remember disabling FastWrite in BIOS went a long way to fixing it.
[02:13] <Naik0> why cant i login, it says gdm couldnt write to my authority file?
[02:13] <sparr> DARKGuy: ahh.  ok then, run two whole copies of X on :0 and :1 and use x2x
[02:13] <Jackz> SilentDis: So just disabling FastWrite in my Bios might fix it?
[02:13] <dimeotane> Anyone have recommendations for how to backup my system before I resize my partition?  There's so many methods out there:  tar, dar, partimage, dd, and others... I want something easy to restore and reliable... any suggestions?
[02:13] <bruenig> Naik0, it will involve I am pretty sure deleting some .directories, I am not sure which exactly. starting with .Xauthority I would think
[02:13] <DARKGuy> sparr: yeah, that's what I'm gonna do now that I know that x2x exists, thanks sparr and redguy :) gotta run!
[02:13] <atomiku`irssi> What is a good text editor with syntax highlighting n stuff?
[02:13] <fr500> is there a way to install ubuntu with lvm with the live cd installer
[02:14] <Naik0> bruenig: i did that..
[02:14] <sparr> dimeotane: doesnt help now... but next time, partition your system so that you dont lose anything when you reinstall
[02:14] <bruenig> atomiku`irssi, gedit
[02:14] <DARKGuy> atomiku`irssi: I like Kate :P
[02:14] <atomiku`irssi> gedit eh?
[02:14] <atomiku`irssi> never knew it had syntax highlighting
[02:14] <atomiku`irssi> one sec
[02:14] <bruenig> atomiku`irssi, saved with the right file extensions it does
[02:14] <Hasrat_USA> i accidentally typed modprobe -i | grep mouse and hit enter. what kinds of problems can it give it to me and how can i get modprobe back to its original configuration?
[02:14] <atomiku`irssi> Oh.
[02:14] <sebrock> sparr, I only have 1 soundcard and it is set. But when I enter alsamixer there is a lot of different volume controllers. So when I use the multimediakey for volume on my keyboard the wrong volume gets altered. This was the case with the volume changer on the upper right corner as well before, but that was easy fixed by right-clicking and changing it in prefs.
[02:15] <dimeotane> sparr: how do you do that?   I've got a 30g partition that I want to resize... what should I do to make a backup?
[02:15] <Jackz> SilentDis: So just disabling FastWrite in my Bios might fix it?
[02:15] <redguy> dimeotane: this is just too easy: cp -a <path> ?
[02:15] <dimeotane> Just incase i screw up my ubuntu system
[02:15] <atomiku`irssi> Ill give kate a look as well
[02:15] <Naik0> bruenig: i did delete .Xauthority
[02:15] <Naik0> still not working
[02:15] <sparr> sebrock: find out what is catching your keyboard events
[02:15] <bruenig> Naik0, well what is next, does anyone know, is it .gnome
[02:15] <SilentDis> Jackz, as I said, that's what got me stability back.  I can't remember all the options I changed though, it was a while ago.  sorry
[02:15] <redguy> darn
[02:15] <sebrock> sparr, w8 I might have found a solution
[02:15] <sparr> dimeotane: you shouldnt resize :-p
[02:15] <redguy> cp -a <old_path> <new_path>
[02:16] <Naik0> bruenig: delete .gnome directory?
[02:16] <Jackz> Alright, I'll try just the FastWrite to begin with.  If that doesn't work, I'll be back!
[02:16] <atomiku`irssi> okay
[02:16] <atomiku`irssi> ill try kate
[02:16] <atomiku`irssi> thanks
[02:16] <Naik0> maybe i can remove and install gdm again
[02:16] <bruenig> Naik0, I have never had this problem, I have seen others solve it by deleting some .directories. I don't know which, maybe somebody else does.
[02:16] <dimeotane> redguy: cp is better than : tar, dar, rsync ... any reason why?
[02:17] <sparr> atomiku`irssi: kate is by far the best gui editor ive found for linux for general purpose editing.  it isnt the best at any one thing but it does a lot of things well.  also, it uses embeddable KDE controls for the editor, the browser, the terminal, etc...  so its easy to extend
[02:17] <dimeotane> sparr:  what do you suggest I should do if I'm runninng out of room, instead of resizing?
[02:17] <sebrock> sparr, ok so the straight question is how do I change which of the volumes in alsamixer is set to default. By that everything will work out
[02:17] <sparr> dimeotane: what is the partition for?
[02:17] <dimeotane> ubuntu
[02:17] <sparr> dimeotane: your root?
[02:17] <dimeotane> yup
[02:17] <sparr> dimeotane: move /home to its own new partition
[02:17] <redguy> dimeotane: well, it's on every reasonable rescue cd......... and even in most initrds :-)
[02:17] <Naik0> bruenig: do you think it will work if i remove gdm and install it again?
[02:18] <bruenig> Naik0, no
[02:18] <sparr> sebrock: i dont think alsamixer has anything to do with your problem
[02:18] <Naik0> ok
[02:18] <dimeotane> sparr: didn't know that was possible!  cool..
[02:18] <bruenig> the config file will still be there, maybe if you purge it could work, but still not certain there either
[02:18] <Frogzoo> atomiku`irssi: emacs does everything
[02:18] <Hasrat_USA> can anyone please answer this question: i accidentally typed modprobe -i | grep mouse and hit enter. what kinds of problems can it give it to me and how can i get modprobe back to its original configuration?
[02:18] <Naik0> maybe delete .gnome*
[02:18] <GMWeezel> Is there a theme manager for Ubunutu to remember my panel positions, transparency, background, icon set, window style, etc.?
[02:18] <sparr> dimeotane: make a new partition.  close everything but one shell, copy your home to the new partition.  edit fstab to mount the new partition as /home.  move the old contents of /home out of the way.  mount the new /home.  enjoy
[02:18] <atomiku`irssi> Frogzoo: I'll try emacs as well, thanks :)
[02:18] <redguy> emacs can do emacs...
[02:19] <dimeotane> thx guys for all the great suggestions... the ubuntu support community is always so inspiring
[02:19] <spookyx> well  i have to say,  i like ubuntu  i have been running freebsd for many years,  switched to ubuntu because i needed flash and newer java for some development work i am doing  :D
[02:19] <sparr> dimeotane: any folder can be mounted from its own partition.  /home is the first choice, and the best, because its the one you most want to preserve if/when you reinstall the OS
[02:19] <shatrat> GMWeezel, Im not sure what you mean, it should remember all that stuff automatically between log ins
[02:19] <Frogzoo> !gnome-art | GMWeezel
[02:19] <ubotu> gmweezel: 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
[02:19] <sparr> dimeotane: /boot on its own partition is nice if you do weird multi-OS things.  /opt on its own partition was popular back when a lot of software installed there, not so much any more
[02:19] <sebrock> sparr, it would be one way of solving it. By simply changing which volume that gets altered as default. This is the exact thing I had to change for the graphical volume meter to work aswell, after install it was set to center and then I choose front and everything is fine... so I want to do the same thing with alsa
[02:20] <GMWeezel> shatrat: So I can save my settings for different looks; e.g. say one month I want a blue them or a red one; I dont want to have to manually change all my settings again.

[02:20] <sparr> sebrock: why do you think alsamixer is involved with your multimedia keys?
[02:20] <shatrat> GMWeezel, you could back up the settings files
[02:20] <GMWeezel> frogzoo: I need to manage profiles for custom settings.
[02:20] <sparr> Frogzoo: i wonder why kde isnt in the base install  :-p
[02:20] <GMWeezel> frogzoo: Not download new ones; e.g. automatically remember my background, icon set and window styles.
[02:20] <sebrock> sparr, honestly... that WOULD solve it
[02:21] <sparr> sebrock: what do you mean by 'default' in alsamixer anyways?
[02:21] <sebrock> forgett the multimediakeys, they >work< just for the wrong volume
[02:21] <Frogzoo> GMWeezel: system -> prefs -> theme
[02:21] <sparr> sebrock: when you press the mmkeys, some program gets run to change the volume.  i doubt that program is related to alsamixer at all.
[02:22] <GMWeezel> frogzoo: The background though.
[02:22] <GMWeezel> frogzoo: granted I'm probably just being lazy but...
[02:22] <Jackz> Ack. I couldn't find it. >.<
[02:22] <crimsun> sebrock: unless you use feisty (with the new hotkey configuration), you'd need to expose the correct control via alsa.
[02:22] <fr500> is there a way to install ubuntu with lvm with the live cd installer
[02:22] <Frogzoo> GMWeezel: gnome-art
[02:22] <shatrat> GMWeezel, i believe if you back up your .gnome folder and then restore it later it should revert all settings, or you could probably just back up certain files but I havent check what files save what settings
[02:22] <GMWeezel> frogzoo: also, that wont save panel placement, transparency or the background
[02:22] <sebrock> sparr, I have a 5.1 card, when pressing the keys the first meter gets changed which I dont have any output for anyway. So I need it to be for "Front Speakers"
[02:22] <Flannel> fr500: no, you need the alternate CD
[02:22] <crimsun> sebrock: in other words, we need more information. What's the lspci -nv output, and what's the cat /proc/asound/modules output?
[02:22] <sparr> sebrock: why are you talking about alsamixer?  you need to be working with the program linked to your mm keys
[02:23] <whonicca> i use imgburn via wine, how do i find the icon it uses on windows so i can assign the same icon to it under linux
[02:23] <Jackz> Anyone have a definate answer as to why when booting Ubuntu, even without it installed, I have artifacts, that within clicks become much worse, and freeze my computer?
[02:23] <Sergo> is the codec w32codecs required for playing .wmv ?
[02:23] <megafauna> Hi, my mp3 collection sounds really poor, should I be using a different decoder?
[02:23] <sparr> Sergo: not neccessarily, but usually.
[02:23] <crimsun> Sergo: for certain versions of wmv, yes.
[02:23] <bruenig> !quicktime | megafauna
[02:23] <spookyx> Jackz  bad video card or driver?

[02:23] <Frogzoo> GMWeezel: sys -> prefs -> session to save layout
[02:23] <bobofett> GMWeezel I think I know what you are saying and sounds like the best thing for you is to learn how to create new themes and styles and create some just the way you like it...save them and then you can swtich to them just like any other theme.
[02:23] <sebrock> sparr, that would works aswell, but the easy way would be to do the same thing with alsamixer as with the graphical volume changer, I know that this is implemented in 1.0.14
[02:24] <Sergo> i cannot play wmv, cannt install w32codecs, don't know what to do :(
[02:24] <crimsun> sebrock: eh, we made no such change in 1.0.14...
[02:24] <bruenig> Sergo, you can't install w32codecs?
[02:24] <megafauna> Thanks Uboto! U beautiful inamimate and inincarnate guru!
[02:24] <ninn> test
[02:24] <Frogzoo> @ninn
[02:24] <Jackz> Spookyx: It works fine with Windows
[02:24] <sebrock> see this crimsun: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=506741
[02:24] <Jackz> I can play graphics intensive games fine, but windows man..
[02:25] <Sergo> nope... the terminal says that sudo cannot return an valid version for it
[02:25] <sparr> sebrock: i think youre confused.  alsamixer has *NOTHING* to do with whatever is between your mmkeys and your volumes
[02:25] <Jackz> err Ubuntu, Man, it owns me
[02:25] <Sergo> something of this
[02:25] <GMWeezel> Thanks all; might end up writing something myself since there doesn't seem to be a one-app solution to remember panel placement, background and theme.
[02:25] <sebrock> sparr this goes for you as well: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=506741
[02:25] <sebrock> that is exaclty my problem
[02:25] <crimsun> sebrock: no, I know Tobin's work
[02:25] <spookyx> Jackz driver might not,  i had that problem with an nvidia card.  i loaded the nvidia drivers,  worked fine then
[02:25] <mark_> anyone know how to convert from an img file to an iso?
[02:25] <sparr> sebrock: that guy is confused too
[02:25] <Api984> this ubuntu is great
[02:25] <Jackz> Well
[02:25] <bruenig> Sergo, wget http://debian.nsu.ru/debian-marillat/pool/main/w/w32codecs/w32codecs_20050412-0.0_i386.deb sudo dpkg -i w32codecs_20050412-0.0_i386.deb
[02:25] <Jackz> Well
[02:25] <Api984> all my hardware works
[02:25] <bruenig> Sergo, do one and then the other
[02:25] <sparr> sebrock: alsamixer has nothing to do with your problem.  alsamixer is just ONE program that can adjust alsa mixers (not to be confused with alsamixer)
[02:26] <sebrock> sparr, well he solved it with 1.0.14rc1 anyways :D
[02:26] <Jackz> I don't have the ability to load them before it craps out
[02:26] <crimsun> sebrock: that work does not, at all, touch hotkey assignment
[02:26] <Sergo> ok
[02:26] <Api984> Xine LIB...
[02:26] <Api984> it has all codecs in...
[02:26] <sebrock> crimsun? did you read the post? He SOLVED it...
[02:26] <Illnor> stupid newbie question: i'm dual booting xp and ubuntu, whats the most efficient way to play all of the mp3s from my other hard drives?
[02:26] <megafauna> bruenig Thanks, I will check it out.

[02:26] <sparr> sebrock: he says he solved it.  and has a patch.  and then he never posted again for 3 months.  i doubt he solved it, and i know he didnt solve it doing anything with alsamixer
[02:27] <crimsun> sebrock: I _know_ his work; I'm the alsa maintainer for Ubuntu.
[02:27] <Music_Shuffle> lol
[02:27] <sebrock> whos work?
[02:27] <Jackz> Is there any way to load the nvidia drivers before even installing Ubuntu?
[02:27] <dredhammer> can KVM be compiled in Edgy or is it only for Fiesty?
[02:27] <crimsun> sebrock: Tobin Davis's.
[02:27] <crimsun> sebrock: aka GrueMaster.
[02:28] <sebrock> so this line: EDIT: Fixed with alsa 1.0.14rc1 is pure BS from barcode_linux?
[02:28] <gaspipe1> hey people
[02:28] <sparr> sebrock: ill try to make this simple...  your sound driver for ALSA provides a number of "mixers", controls for adjusting various channels.  the program named "alsamixer" provides an ncurses GUI for accessing the ALSA mixers.  *SOME OTHER PROGRAM* is being run when you press your mm keys, and THAT program is accessing the wrong ALSA mixer, which has nothing to do with the program named alsamixer.
[02:28] <spookyx> Jackz,  from console maybe
[02:28] <bruenig> !hi | gaspipe1
[02:28] <ubotu> gaspipe1: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[02:28] <crimsun> sebrock: you're not understanding the problem.
[02:28] <crimsun> sebrock: the problem is that the original pin-out/in configuration was wrong. He fixed it. It has nothing to do with hotkey "assignment".
[02:28] <Naik0> im going crazy
[02:29] <sebrock> hmm ok
[02:29] <bruenig> Naik0, try sudo chown -R username:username ~
[02:29] <Doug52392> Hi, I am trying to install Ubuntu, but the installer keeps freezing after I select "resize IDE1 Master, partition 1 (hda1) and use freed space" and select 14gb to free up.
[02:29] <sparr> sebrock: i think that the edit in that thread is just saying that the default mixer was changed for his driver in a new version of alsa.  you could post a bug and be patient and hope the same happens for your driver.
[02:29] <holycow> Doug52392, your using the live cd aren't you?
[02:29] <Jackz> Agh, I don't know how to use the console that well, mang!
[02:29] <Music_Shuffle> Ok, every new window I try to open...vanishes. Ideas anyone?
[02:29] <Doug52392> yes
[02:29] <holycow> lol
[02:30] <holycow> Doug52392, its VERY buggy especially at that part.  download the alternate cd and use the text based d-i installer.
[02:30] <sebrock> the card is in no way new, it's a 24-bit onboard Soundblaster
[02:30] <crimsun> sebrock: we've _already_ fixed it in feisty. The changes are too invasive to backport to current edgy - a stable release - so I haven't done it.
[02:30] <holycow> it works very well, its a mature piece of code
[02:30] <bruenig> it is more difficult for a newb though to setup dual boot that way
[02:30] <savant_> hm... can i mount my old windows harddisk somehow, to copy over some things? (ntfs)
[02:30] <mark_> Music_Shuffle: If it were windows, I'd tell you to reboot!  (but I'd still try a restart.  had that once)
[02:30] <rmd_> i'm trying to setup a custom action that converts flv to mpeg using ffmpeg.. but i cant quite figure out how to configure the action to chnage the file extension to for the output file entry
[02:31] <Frogzoo> !ntfs | savant_
[02:31] <ubotu> savant_: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[02:31] <sparr> savant_: sudo mkdir /media/hdz9 && mount /dev/hdz9 /media/hdz9
[02:31] <sebrock> thing is this: if I run alsamixer and then press my mmkeys only the first leveler gets altered, and I want the fourth leveler to alter :D
[02:32] <crimsun> sebrock: and are you running current feisty? ;)
[02:32] <gaspipe1> i saw on digg that the new version of ubuntu is out....
[02:32] <gaspipe1> anyone try it yet?
[02:32] <crimsun> gaspipe1: you mean another milestone.
[02:32] <sparr> sebrock: alsamixer is showing you the state of the mixers.  some other program is actually changing them when you press the keys.  go figure out what that other program is, thats step 1.
[02:32] <savant_> thx, Frogzoo
[02:32] <atomiku`irssi> So I wanna write a basic application in C++. I wanna make it have a GUI. How would I do this? Maybe theres some GTK libraries I have to use or something?
[02:32] <sebrock> crimsun, and the little graphical meter shows up as well
[02:32] <Sergo> does anyone know if the RealPlayer10GOLD is freeware ?
[02:32] <crimsun> Sergo: for certain connotations of "free"
[02:32] <Doug52392> do I have to burn the alternate CD, or can I just stick it on a flash drive, because I burned Ubuntu on the last CD-R i had.
[02:32] <gaspipe1> errr... brb
[02:33] <Jackz> Anyone have a definate answer as to why when booting Ubuntu, even without it installed, I have artifacts, that within clicks become much worse, and freeze my computer?
[02:33] <crimsun> atomiku`irssi: wxwidgets2.6, ultimate++, etc.
[02:33] <holycow> atomiku`irssi, gtkmm yes, or you can use qt with the pretty darned nice kde dev ide
[02:33] <Toki> does anyone know where the button/icon for the gnome shutdown applet is, or what package it comes in
[02:33] <atomiku`irssi> Okay, thanks crimsun. I'll do some googling
[02:33] <sparr> Jackz: have you run memtest from the live cd?
[02:33] <Jackz> No?
[02:33] <sparr> do
[02:33] <bruenig> rmd_, rename s/.flv/.mpg/ file
[02:33] <atomiku`irssi> So I just assume its pretty straight foward? Like making buttons? supply the x/y coordinates to some makebutton function or something lol
[02:34] <sparr> sounds like bad ram
[02:34] <Jackz> >.<
[02:34] <Jackz> Better not be.
[02:34] <BalsamicChicken> hello
[02:34] <Jackz> But I'll be back with the results.
[02:34] <crimsun> atomiku`irssi: depends on the toolkit [and api]  you use.

[02:34] <BalsamicChicken> Hi, How do i use command line to cd to a folder whose name has spaces in them?
[02:34] <holycow> Naik0, easiest solution: reinstall
[02:35] <rmd_> BalsamicChicken: use the "\"
[02:35] <sparr> BalsamicChicken: "foo\ bar"
[02:35] <Naik0> holycow: reinstall ubuntu?!
[02:35] <rmd_> ex: "/Program\ Files"
[02:35] <BalsamicChicken> rmd_ sparr, thx alot guys
[02:35] <sparr> BalsamicChicken: without the quotes...  or just "foo bar" with actual quotes  :)
[02:35] <bleanna_unux> how can i customize ubuntu to install only the packages i want during setup? i don't want openoffice or the multimedia apps...
[02:35] <bruenig> rmd_, that should change the file extension
[02:35] <BalsamicChicken> sparr cool thx
[02:35] <holycow> Naik0, why not?  you can spend days googling the solution to that or you can reinstall in 15 minutes
[02:35] <sparr> bleanna_unux: dont use the gui setup
[02:35] <sparr> bleanna_unux: and probably dont use the Desktop CD at all

[02:41] <holycow> which part? the part where everything is in the repo or the part where everything is in the repo?
[02:41] <bruenig> the part of google how parts come together

[02:43] <LjL> BalsamicChicken: there are characters that you need to escape. space and ! are such characters
[02:43] <LjL> BalsamicChicken: they can be escaped by prefixing a \, that is "\ " and "\!"
[02:43] <holycow> nothing to understand i wasn't talking to you, scroll up to see atomiku`irssi comments, i'm too lazy to copy paste and the topic is too wide for me to bother when google is out there (in regard to atmoks comments that is)
[02:44] <zen> alright, what's the point of the backport repos?
[02:44] <bobofett> lol hahah I thought the same thing bruenig I was watching this one unfold a bit....hahaha...damn internet missundersandings.
[02:44] <zen> Cause I added them temporarily, and they had a bunch of updates....
[02:44] <LjL> !backports > zen    (zen, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:45] <LjL> zen: you added repos without knowing what the point of said repos is? ungood.
[02:45] <holycow> zen, ubuntu releases only get security patches, sometimes new software needs to be backproted because it is important enough
[02:45] <Flannel> zen: usually with backports you just download and manually install, instead of adding the full repository
[02:45] <zen> LjL, I added them on them on the advice of Ubuntuguide.org, and considering they came from Ubuntu, I considered it pretty safe...
[02:46] <LjL> zen: they're generally pretty safe.

[02:46] <ubotu> jonathan__: Package/file libmp3lame does not exist in edgy
[02:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about liblame0-dev - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:47] <crimsun> !liblame-dev
[02:47] <ubotu> liblame-dev: LAME Ain't an MP3 Encoder. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 3.96.1-2 (edgy), package size 201 kB, installed size 540 kB
[02:47] <jonathan__> ?
[02:47] <Quintin> zen: I should think you need them off.
[02:47] <CapaH> Question, I cannot seem to apt-get install winesetuptk --- is there some other package I should get in its place?
[02:47] <Comrade-Sergei> is it possible to easily change the splash screen?
[02:47] <jonathan__> audacity sais that it uses lame to encode in mpe
[02:47] <LjL> !usplash > Comrade-Sergei    (Comrade-Sergei, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:47] <LjL> Comrade-Sergei: i wouldn't say "easily" perhaps
[02:47] <jonathan__> and this is  audacity
[02:47] <crimsun> jonathan__: libmp3lame.so is specific to the liblame-dev package.
[02:47] <Quintin> jonathan__: anytime you do something like that.. you will lose quality, fyi
[02:47] <crimsun> (it's a symbolic link)
[02:47] <Comrade-Sergei> LjL is it like a menu option or a kernal crack?
[02:47] <jonathan__> what is the best way to convert it
[02:48] <LjL> hm, that might be why the bot doesn't get it...?
[02:48] <jonathan__> i tried soundkonverter i keep getting an error
[02:48] <Meshyf> Hey guys I'm following this guide http://www.debianadmin.com/enable-wpa-wireless-access-point-in-ubuntu-linux.html   and it says to comment everything out. What does that mean?
[02:48] <LjL> Comrade-Sergei, it is what the bot said it is
[02:48] <Comrade-Sergei> i see that now
[02:48] <atomiku`irssi> so... What gtkmm do I have to install?
[02:48] <atomiku`irssi> Ive got alot of options here....
[02:49] <jonathan__> is it worth the quality loss crimsun
[02:49] <BalsamicChicken> LjL thx for the tips on "\", I found out I could use tab, which was easier for a newbie like me lol
[02:49] <BalsamicChicken> thx everyone, g2g for now
[02:49] <LjL> jonathan__: imho, not. converting a lossy audio format into another lossy one, for storage, is never a good idea.
[02:50] <headphase> hello
[02:50] <jonathan__> i was goign to convert it to mp3 usin soundkonverter with it set to high quality
[02:51] <zen> now, a bit of advice...
[02:51] <jonathan__> was going to convert it to wave or ogg in audacity
[02:51] <LjL> jonathan__: and the question is, why? you lose quality, you get a bigger file, and mp3 is patented too
[02:51] <zen> should I use Adobe's flash off the site, or UbuntuGuide.org's flash player instructions?
[02:51] <jonathan__> what should i convert my music too
[02:51] <jonathan__> flac
[02:51] <LjL> !flash > zen    (zen, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:51] <Comrade-Sergei> LjL not worth it
[02:51] <zen> Alright...I should try asking ubotu next time before y'all...

[02:52] <Meshyf> !comment
[02:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about comment - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:52] <jonathan__> what format should i convert it to then
[02:52] <LjL> jonathan__: if you feel you have to convert your lossily compressed files into something else, FLAC is probably the least of your evils.
[02:52] <headphase> I am having trouble getting my Intel 945 driver to work.  I have the code right in xorg and have tried 915resolution to no avail.  It seems like the resoultion is overriden when I boot up ubuntu.
[02:52] <LjL> jonathan__: who's saying you should convert them in the first place?
[02:52] <Meshyf> Hey guys I'm following this guide http://www.debianadmin.com/enable-wpa-wireless-access-point-in-ubuntu-linux.html   and it says to comment everything out. What does that mean?
[02:52] <cpk1> cant go wrong with flac
[02:52] <jonathan__> ok but i was doing that using a program but my audio files in windows ended up really big
[02:52] <holycow> headphase, did you make sure the correct resolution option is in your xorg.conf file?
[02:52] <jonathan__> ljl i have such a variety of formats i just want to uniform them into one format
[02:53] <cpk1> Meshyf: a line that starts with # is commented out
[02:53] <holycow> headphase, i've noticed on occasion 915 resolution doesn't modify xorg.conf properly
[02:53] <hossasaur> hey, why is it that when i type 'sudo gedit' at the terminal it just sits there and doesn't open gedit?
[02:53] <LjL> jonathan__: of course, FLAC is lossless -- that means files will be an order of magnitude bigger than MP3, WMA or Vorbis
[02:53] <Meshyf> cpk1: Thanks much :D
[02:53] <hossasaur> if i type gedit, it opens, if i type sudo gedit, it doens't
[02:53] <holycow> hossasaur, because you need to do gksudo gedit
[02:53] <jonathan__> so converting to flac is worth the size increase
[02:53] <LjL> jonathan__, rip them again. converting lossy->lossy is simply a stupid idea
[02:53] <LjL> jonathan__: i don't know if it's "worth" it. i know you won't lose quality
[02:53] <LjL> it's just like converting to PCM (i.e. WAV), but a bit smaller
[02:54] <jonathan__> couldnt i just convert them using soundkonverter to convert them to flac
[02:54] <hossasaur> holycow: it says authentication failed
[02:54] <headphase> holycow: I have tried booting up with both xorg modified and 915resolution modifed.
[02:54] <LjL> i don't know which formats soundkonverter supports. maybe.
[02:54] <atomiku`irssi> How do I install GTKMM?
[02:54] <holycow> hossasaur, ah thats something different.  i haven't ever heard of that
[02:54] <jonathan__> o
[02:54] <holycow> hossasaur, i won't be able to help :/
[02:55] <bobofett> The best thing to do jonathan_ is to get them again..rip them, download them whatever again in the format you want....but keep your player options wide too so you can play lots of different kinds of files then you don't have to worry about if some of mp3 or ogg or whatever.
[02:55] <bobofett> just my 2 cents.
[02:55] <jonathan__> it supports tons of formats flac being one of them
[02:55] <jonathan__> even itunes m4a format
[02:55] <imsocute> my beryl always crashes..i have ati 9250 series and i don't know where to find the fix....anybody?
[02:55] <jonathan__> ty ljl if i have any more questions ill be back
[02:56] <holycow> imsocute, wrong channel, try #ubuntu-beryl or #ubuntu
[02:56] <holycow> imsocute, beryl is very early and buggy piece of software
[02:56] <headphase> holycow: I have also tried setting to driver to i810 and vesa.
[02:56] <holycow> you should be expecting it to crash and of course it does
[02:56] <holycow> especially with ati video cards
[02:56] <imsocute> ohhh
[02:56] <Phrozen_One> how come sometimes I experience an "odd" menu list, such as you have to scroll through it to see everything listed in the menu, is it something related to gtk and redrawing of the menu?
[02:57] <holycow> headphase, how about this idea .... did you accidentally chmod your xorg.conf file to something other than ... what is it iagain ... root?
[02:57] <holycow> *hmm*
[02:57] <holycow> ah yeah root.root
[02:57] <headphase> holycow: I moded it in root
[02:57] <hossasaur> ok, when i'm testing my wpa_supplicant.conf, i get invalid cypher error messages
[02:58] <LjL> imsocute: it's so unstable and experimental that we have a separate channel for it and its friends, #ubuntu-effects
[02:58] <Toki> can anyone DCC me their  gnome-shutdowns from /usr/share/icons/gnome
[02:58] <holycow> headphase, i am guessing there is a permissions issue ... but i can't really help with that to be honest.  i don't feel like reasearching for you.  may i suggest a non answer ... reinstall?  it just might be faster than searching for a solution
[02:58] <headphase> holycow: I made a xorg_backup file as well
[02:59] <headphase> holycow: reinstall ubuntu?
[02:59] <dimeotane> headphase: you on a laptop?
[02:59] <headphase> dimeotane: yes, Intel Inspiron e1405
[02:59] <holycow> headphase, if its a permissions issue and your a noob its going to be hell tracking it down.  it just might be faster to reinstall yeah.
[02:59] <dimeotane> there's a i915 package that I recall needing to install when i put ubuntu edgy on my dell
[03:00] <headphase> dimeotane: I mean Dell
[03:00] <dimeotane> I think that gave me my full 1280 resolution
[03:00] <Spark> ubuntu seems not to be executing my .Xclients file
[03:00] <headphase> dimeotane: dri-Intel-3.4.3006-20051209.i386.rpm?
[03:00] <Spark> the permissions are 755
[03:01] <Spark> is there another name for this file in ubuntu? it seems to be completely ignored
[03:01] <dimeotane> sudo apt-get install 915resolution
[03:01] <Pelo> Spark,  can you expand on your problem ? what symptoms are you getting ?
[03:01] <headphase> dimeotane: ok, but I've done this 10 times before
[03:01] <dimeotane> youre using ubuntu right?
[03:01] <headphase> dimeotane: yes
[03:02] <headphase> dimeotane: dapper drake

[03:02] <Spark> Pelo: it's not being executed at all i think
[03:02] <Spark> no idea why
[03:02] <dimeotane> oh I'm on edgy.. I wonder if that's the difference?
[03:02] <Meshyf> !commands
[03:02] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[03:02] <Pelo> Spark,  you can try looking it up in the forum
[03:02] <Plecebo> why would i be able to log into x but switching to a terminal will not display anything but gibberish... is there a way i can get to a working terminal from the login prompt (ctrl + alt + f1 gives gibberish)
[03:02] <headphase> dimeotane: I've posted on there
[03:03] <headphase> holycow: could it be a bad iso file?
[03:03] <Pelo> Spark,  do you mean X isn't starting and you are not getting a GUI ?
[03:03] <holycow> headphase, sure
[03:03] <holycow> did you do a checksum on it?
[03:03] <Spark> Pelo: no it starts fine, it just doesn't execute ~/.Xclients
[03:04] <agnostic>  anyone using notebook HP 500 CM-350?

[03:04] <headphase> holycow: yes, it had a mismatch
[03:04] <holycow> time to download another methinks
[03:04] <dimeotane> theres a few more threads about this on ubuntuforums.org. ... search the 915resolution keyword
[03:04] <Toma-> Hehe. Automatix2 depends on an icon theme? :/
[03:04] <headphase> holycow: I can't find a good source to download
[03:04] <dimeotane> anyone use tuxcards?
[03:05] <Pelo> Toma-,  automatix installs restricted packages, themes shouldn'T realy matter
[03:05] <Toma-> Pelo: yeh i know. those bizarre packagers that made the deb made it depend on tango-icon-theme. weird!
[03:06] <dimeotane> I'm trying to find the icon for it... the .deb file doesn't install the package into the gnome menu...
[03:06] <Toma-> dimeotane: youll have to restart the gnome-panel...
[03:06] <shiv> I am using xchat-gnome and I am not able to open URLs from it. It says this "There was an error launching the default action command associated with this location."
[03:07] <Toki> can anyone point me in the direction of the gnome-shutdown icons?
[03:07] <Toma-> dimeotane: press Alt+F2 then run "killall gnome-panel"
[03:07] <holycow> shiv, may i recommend you remove that and just use xchat instead?
[03:07] <holycow> shiv, xchat now has a hierarchical view like xchat-gnome so there is no point in using it
[03:07] <holycow> and it actually works
[03:07] <shiv> holycow: Why? I like xchat-gnome some how
[03:07] <shiv> holycow: I see
[03:07] <holycow> shiv, because it doesn't work? :)

[03:08] <shiv> holycow: I need to set autostart autojoin for channels, I can do that in xchat as well is that correct?
[03:08] <Spark> it's not the sort of thing that doesnt work
[03:08] <LjL> jpoeta: GDM is always installed by default on a normal Ubuntu
[03:08] <Pelo> jpoeta, http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/
[03:08] <Spark> it's only a script :)
[03:08] <Toma-> jpoeta: 'sudo apt-get install gdm'
[03:08] <jonathan__> ljl what other good audio converters r out there
[03:09] <Toma-> jonathan__: soundconverter works a treat
[03:09] <jpoeta> yes
[03:09] <holycow> shiv, of course.  xchat is a very old piece of software, xchat-gnome only appeared in the last year.
[03:09] <dimeotane> toma: so youre saying tuxcards should be installed from the .deb file into the menu?  I rebooted and it's not there...
[03:09] <jpoeta>  i know
[03:09] <Toma-> dimeotane: oh weird.
[03:09] <LjL> jonathan__, don't know, if i had to convert audio i'd probably just pipe a decoder into an encoder
[03:09] <Toki> can anyone tell me where the gnome startup script is, im trying to add beryl-manager to the startup
[03:09] <dimeotane> toma: you installed tuxcards?
[03:09] <Toma-> dimeotane: was it an ubuntu .deb file?
[03:09] <jonathan__> ya well its taking a really long time to decode the song its seems to be stuck at 14%
[03:10] <Toma-> dimeotane: no :) i dont run gnome either
[03:10] <dimeotane> toma: not ubuntu specfic
[03:10] <jpoeta> thanks
[03:10] <rio`> hi i installed ubuntu and try to get the nvidia driver from nvidia.com running
[03:10] <jpoeta> sorry
[03:10] <Pelo> Toma-,  a .deb file is a debian package,  they can be easily installed in ubuntu
[03:10] <rio`> but i always get "API mismatch"
[03:10] <jpoeta> but i dont skeak english very fluency
[03:10] <rio`> whats wrong?
[03:10] <Spark> sigh, i may just uninstall gdm and run startx
[03:10] <Spark> that works fine
[03:10] <Toma-> Pelo: thanks for the tip. sometimes debian packages dont respect the default .desktop locations in ubuntu.

[03:14] <dimeotane> why the  .desktop ?
[03:14] <unop> Toki,  gnome autostart or X autostart?
[03:15] <dimeotane> the icon is called tuxcards.xpm
[03:15] <jpoeta> apurate

[03:15] <Toma-> dimeotane: in all honesty, it might pay just to make a new one yourself

[03:15] <jpoeta> thaks
[03:15] <unop> Toki,  ~/.config/autostart -- and you need to create your entry in there -- create one in the GUI and follow it's template
[03:16] <Toki> thanks
[03:16] <dimeotane> still curious why you suggested the grep .desktop
[03:17] <Toma-> dimeotane: the deb file might have thrown the .desktop file into a different directory
[03:17] <Toma-> would have been a simple mv to get it fixed
[03:17] <dimeotane> .desktop files are where icons are located?
[03:17] <Toma-> that is assuming, that the packager actually included a .desktop file to begin with
[03:17] <unop> Toma-,  whats the name of the package you installed?
[03:17] <Toma-> .desktop files are the launchers
[03:17] <dimeotane> .local/share/applications/tuxcards.desktop

[03:59] <ubotu> HP_Vue: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[03:59] <Eclypse> xtknight I have gnome-baker and it doesn't have an image option . . .
[03:59] <tim167> Eclypse: k3b works well for me too
[04:00] <ElbridgeGerry> xtknight: The command is wine [program path] 
[04:00] <Eclypse> tim167 does it support dvd's too?
[04:00] <xtknight> ElbridgeGerry: actually HP_Vue asked

[04:01] <dennister> anyone up for this challenge? :-)
[04:01] <xtknight> esaym: well all debian packages have a changelog.  look for the changelog for linux-image perhaps.  i'm not sure where that might be to be honest
[04:01] <tim167> Eclypse: dont you have 'burn image' when you right click an iso in gnome ?
[04:01] <xtknight> Eclypse: hmm, don't know
[04:01] <xtknight> brb
[04:01] <esaym> hmm
[04:01] <Eclypse> tim167 that gave me a shitty dvd that didn't boot. it's a OSX formatted iso if that matters.

[04:03] <tim167> Eclypse: hmm, maybe your iso isnt 100% sane... i know k3b always does checksum before burning an iso, if i were you i'd try k3b

[04:13] <trollboy> have you tried the one from nvidia's site?

[04:13] <sean13> tim167, thanks i'll check it out
[04:13] <Quintin> shola: yes.  install kernel headers.  install drivers from ati.amd.com

[04:14] <Hedegaard> Music_Shuffle, I'll give them a try :)
[04:14] <shola> i installed the drivers from the ati site
[04:14] <dennister> sean13: after you have the driver installed into your kernel, type into a terminal this: nvidia-settings

[04:14] <bjohnson> hmm .. seems that if I run /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.06/bin/java it works.  I must have /bin/java pointing at another version of java

[04:19] <LMNT_OX> or no
[04:19] <LMNT_OX> its a dvd player and then new hdd
[04:19] <tim167> vox754 its Hello WorLd ;)
[04:19] <LMNT_OX> on the same ribbon
[04:19] <shola> Quintin: so my kernel is 2.6.17-11-generic
[04:19] <vox754> !offtopic > ElbridgeGerry
[04:20] <dennister> ok...i finally have this new dsl modem/router working, but am having trouble getting the second device (voip adapter) to work at the same time
[04:20] <TygerFish> sontek_: All that's coming to my mind for that one is Xorg -configure...
[04:20] <ElbridgeGerry> vox754: You started it here. *phttt* =p
[04:20] <vox754> tim167, You see, I even wrote it wrong... I tell you. It is he word of the devil.
[04:20] <shola> Quintin: do i run apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.17-11-generic?
[04:20] <gaspipe1> anyone have any luck with MFC printer?
[04:20] <dennister> the linksys voip adapter does have a dhcp address in the router's software configuration, but that's it
[04:20] <dm_> Anyone have any tips on how to save some battery life ? My meter states 3 hours, but i only get about 2, i have CPU scaled down, wifi off, (always keep LCD brightness at max)  but there seems to be an issue with me actually getting the time i used to get in windows
[04:20] <tim167> vox754 the worLd of the devil :)
[04:20] <dennister> anyone? with any ideas?
[04:21] <vox754> ElbridgeGerry, hahaha. I told you. It drives me mad. Now let's get back to Linux.
[04:21] <shola> Quintin: ok, got it figured out...they're already the newest version
[04:21] <dennister> gaspipe1: i've had my mfc210c working for quite a while
[04:21] <LMNT_OX> and the /dev/hd0 i figured it out cause it shows the partitions made when i installed
[04:21] <Frogzoo> LMNT_OX: sudo gparted /dev/hdb   & create as many partitions as you like, & set them to be ext3
[04:22] <gaspipe1> dennister: i have a 5100c
[04:22] <gaspipe1> dennister: and i searched... no luck with it
[04:22] <dennister> gaspipe1: check the brother site...they have some great linux documentation
[04:22] <Spark> i've been trying to get a custom kernel running on this ubuntu desktop for some time now
[04:22] <Spark> but it refuses to mount the root filesystem
[04:22] <Spark> and i have no idea why
[04:22] <gaspipe1> dennister: u'r scanner works too?
[04:23] <Spark> i can't find any docs that mention anything special about custom kernels on ubuntu
[04:23] <Frogzoo> dennister: what is your actual problem?
[04:23] <dennister> and if you still need more assistance, they will email you support from china...yes, my scanner works
[04:23] <LMNT_OX> ok
[04:23] <Frogzoo> Spark: did you specify initrd in grub?
[04:23] <LMNT_OX> now how to i find it Graphically or do i need to do so through the Terminal
[04:23] <dennister> Frogzoo: my problem is geting my voip adapter device configured in dsl router
[04:23] <sontek_> Spark: did you compile the correct file systems into the kernel?
[04:23] <vox754> !kernel
[04:23] <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
[04:23] <Hedegaard> any easy way to uninstall beryl ? so i can start over with a fresh beryl install ?
[04:24] <Spark> Frogzoo: yeah that was my first mistake, but fixing it made it boot up with the logo but it just hung... disabling the logo and making it verbose shows it saying "waiting for root fs" or something like that
[04:24] <dennister> Frogzoo: while i'm patiently waiting for someone who might be able to help me, i thought i'd answer another person tech question
[04:24] <Spark> sontek_: yep, although i specified reiserfs while installing, it actually decided to make me an ext3 root fs
[04:24] <Spark> but ext3 is compiled in now
[04:25] <sean13> so I installed the latest nvidia drivers using envy, but I still can't get a higher resolution than 1024x768m before the upgrade to edgy I was able to get a much higher resolution than that
[04:25] <Spark> its a bit of a "wtf" though, i specified reiserfs, and it went ahead and made an ext3 root fs...
[04:25] <patrialt> Can someone help me out, i just reinstalled my ubuntu (cuz i tampered with mounting) but umm, now that i've newly installed ubuntu, i cant see my all of my partitions
[04:25] <sean13> although now with the nvidia drivers i'm getting a broad range of smaller resolutions
[04:25] <trollboy> can someone tell my why my cdrom won't open?
[04:25] <trollboy> I hit the button
[04:25] <trollboy> I typed eject
[04:25] <xtknight> trollboy: a cd is mounted
[04:25] <trollboy> nope checked that xtknight
[04:25] <sean13> trollboy, un mount it, or if an icon for it is on the desktop right click and eject
[04:26] <trollboy> trollboy@ubuntu:/media$ sudo umount /media/cdrom0 umount: /media/cdrom0: not mounted
[04:26] <Quintin> sean13: look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:26] <xtknight> trollboy: `sudo hdparm /dev/blkdevice -L 0` to force an unlock
[04:26] <gaspipe1> sean13: did you try that link?
[04:26] <Mr_Mxyzptlk> #ubuntu
[04:26] <xtknight> trollboy: sorry, `sudo hdparm -L 0 /dev/blkdevice` rather
[04:27] <vox754> patrialt: did you unplug the drives (assuming you have more disks) during reinstall? If so, you may need to reconstruct the "/etc/fstab".
[04:27] <trollboy> where blkdevice is the cdrom0?
[04:27] <patrialt> no, the missing drives are other partitions of the same HDD
[04:27] <Quintin> trollboy: type 'mount' in a terminal
[04:27] <sean13> gaspipe1, yeah I had the page loaded but it closed when I was installing the drivers, can you link me to it again
[04:27] <Spark> i'm new to initrd though, i have no idea how it works
[04:27] <shola> ok, i installed the ati drivers but they didnt work, ive tried all the fglrx tutorials i could find, but when i type "fglrxinfo" i still get the mesa project and no direct rendering
[04:27] <Spark> i just ran update-initramfs and let it make me an initrd image
[04:27] <Spark> i have no idea if that initrd image is right
[04:27] <patrialt> i can only see my ext3 partition that Ubuntu is installed on, and my swap
[04:27] <trollboy> Quintin: and?
[04:27] <tim167> sean13: maybe: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:28] <Quintin> trollboy: and .. look at it.  any cdrom?  it will probably be iso9660
[04:28] <Shadowpillar> any reason gnome-screensaver is eating up 100% cpu when it's a blank screensaver?
[04:28] <gaspipe1> sean13: 1 sec...
[04:28] <trollboy> Quintin: nope
[04:28] <trollboy> its not mounted
[04:28] <Shadowpillar> it's been doing this since I turned on the composite extension
[04:28] <vox754> patrialt: still, mounting deals with "/etc/fstab" so you need to set it up correctly. Try "fdisk -l" and give feedback in the pastebin.
[04:29] <Frogzoo> dennister: config is like so:?      voip adaptor -> ubuntu box -> router -> inet ?

[04:29] <gaspipe1> sean13: let me know if it worked
[04:29] <vox754> Shadowpillar: I can only think in some problem with 3D capabilities of you video driver
[04:30] <patrialt> vox754 i receieved no feedback
[04:30] <Nob> is network-manager preinstalled with Ubuntu 6.10?
[04:30] <vox754> patrialt: ??? You open the terminal and type "sudo fdisk -l".
[04:30] <patrialt> ehh, minus the sudo part :P whoops
[04:31] <Shadowpillar> VoX: nvidia
[04:31] <dennister> Frogzoo: no. config is this: voip adapter (port 2) into router/dsl; pc (port 3) into router/dsl

[04:32] <patrialt> you wanted me to past here right? =\
[04:32] <Quintin> !paste
[04:32] <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)
[04:32] <patrialt> ooh
[04:32] <patrialt> myb ad
[04:32] <vox754> Shadowpillar, reinstall the driver. There have been some issues with the last kernel.
[04:32] <Quintin> patrialt: not if it's more than a line or two.. it doesn't matter much at the moment since it's not too busy here.. but normally that's frowned on
[04:32] <sean13> gaspipe1, nope that didn't work
[04:33] <patrialt> sorry again =\
[04:33] <sean13> still can't get a higher resolution
[04:33] <Shadowpillar> vox754: can you remind me how to do that? I'm somewhat burned out from installing an alternator into my car and wrestling with the power steering pump
[04:33] <mon^rch> how can I output the contents of a directory to a text file????
[04:33] <Quintin> sean13: what resolutions are listed in your xorg.conf file?
[04:33] <Quintin> !puntuation
[04:33] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about puntuation - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:33] <Quintin> ...
[04:33] <Shadowpillar> mon^rch: ls -l > textfile
[04:33] <Frogzoo_> dennister: so why is theis an ubuntu problem? just get the router to nat the VA
[04:33] <patrialt> k, it's pasted
[04:33] <Quintin> mon^rch: just one '?' please.
[04:33] <gaspipe1> sean13: srry.... thats how i got mine to work
[04:33] <mon^rch> ] ty Shadowpillar
[04:33] <sean13> gaspipe1, no problem thanks anyway
[04:33] <Quintin> mon^rch: use a shell redirect .. 'ls dir/ > listing.txt'
[04:33] <sean13> Quintin, let me go check
[04:34] <mackinac> !punctuation
[04:34] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[04:34] <dennister> how to "nat the VA"?
[04:34] <gaspipe1> sean13: u fallowed what SD-Plissken posted?
[04:34] <LMNT_OX> so now that this other hard drive is a partition i dont have to physically locate to save to it???
[04:34] <sean13> gaspipe1, yeah
[04:34] <patrialt> vox754 http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6184/
[04:35] <gaspipe1> sean13: ehhh srry... to bad... mine worked perfect
[04:35] <sean13> Quintin, these are the resolutions listed in xorg.conf "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
[04:35] <vox754> Shadowpillar: that was funny... Unfortunately I can't give you details since I don't own an nvidia. These are the things you should care about your hardware. Many people in here are using nvidia, they may help you. Good luck.
[04:36] <gaspipe1> sean13: under Apllications>System Tools do u see NVidia Settings?
[04:36] <tim167> sean13 did you do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?
[04:36] <sean13> gaspipe1, nope didn't notice them but looking at them now
[04:37] <sean13> tim167, nope but i'll do it now
[04:37] <mackinac> !nvidia > Shadowpillar
[04:37] <Quintin> sean13: There's your problem right there, smart guy. :P
[04:37] <patrialt> any idea what to do vox?
[04:37] <Frogzoo_> dennister: nat = network address translation, you'll also need to forward ports from the router to the VA (voip adaptor)
[04:37] <vox754> patrialt: so, I guess you only see sda3 and sda4, root and swap.
[04:38] <Milk_> good evening
[04:38] <unska_> how can i playback dvds with ubuntu?
[04:38] <dennister> k...have done port forwarding before, but with my old dlink router...can't seem to find it in this router software
[04:38] <patrialt> vox754, nah, im using sda2 for ubuntu install and yea, sda4
[04:38] <Milk_> I'm experianceing some odd disk issues.  My machine is rebooting randomly, and generating grub 16 (maybe 18) errors at random, or just never booting, or dropping to a grub console
[04:38] <tovella> how can I enable Automatic Logout after say 15 minutes of inactivity?
[04:38] <Milk_> is there anyway to troubleshoot the problem?
[04:39] <patrialt> sda1 and 3 are not visible
[04:39] <firestorm> Hi...I am running Edgy and want to run the latest linux-image kernel....my synaptic only shows 2.6.17-11...is there a way I can get 2.6.19 or 2.6.20 without "rolling my own"?
[04:39] <vox754> patrialt, seems like a piece of cake, so I recommend you to look under !mounting
[04:39] <goban> how do i make a folder hidden
[04:39] <bobesponja> hey all
[04:39] <bobesponja> is there a tool other than date to change the date from bash?
[04:39] <patrialt> im new to linux >.<
[04:40] <vox754> !fstab
[04:40] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[04:40] <t0dd_> hey, I just installed Ubuntu and am trying to install the gd graphics library, but I am getting errors, would anyone be able to help me?
[04:40] <t0dd_> I'm also new to linux
[04:40] <Quintin> bobesponja: date doesn't change the date, it prints it!!  If you want to set it, perhaps 'ntpdate time.nist.gov'
[04:40] <doppelganger_> can someone help with a slight audio problem when they get a sec?
[04:40] <Milk_> t0dd_, how are you trying to install it?
[04:40] <unska_> how can i playback dvds with ubuntu?
[04:41] <xtknight> !dvd|unska_
[04:41] <ubotu> unska_: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[04:41] <t0dd_> Milk_, could I private message you?
[04:41] <Milk_> t0dd_, sure
[04:41] <vox754> patrialt: give it a try with the links, it's not that hard. I could recommend you to try "sudo mount -a", but also post the contents of "/etc/fstab" in the pastebin.
[04:41] <dennister> firestorm: 11 is the newest kernel for edgy
[04:41] <tim167> doppelganger_: what's your audio problem ?
[04:41] <bamtol_> how can i run emacs?(root authority)
[04:41] <patrialt> last time i touched mounting commands was about 4 hours ago, where i messed up my /home and couldn't get it fixed :p
[04:41] <tovella> firestorm: you could TEMPORARILY change your apt repos to feisty, do an apt-get update, then install linux-image-generic.  follow by changing your repos back to edgy, performing another apt-get update.
[04:42] <ChaosEddie> bamtol: did you try sudo?
[04:42] <bamtol> yes
[04:42] <doppelganger_> tim167: it's kinda weird..  you know the on-screen volume control that comes on when you push (insert button or knob here) to turn it up/down?
[04:42] <IcemanV9> tovella: that's a dangerous idea
[04:43] <doppelganger_> well..  it doesn't affect the master control, or any sound control for that matter
[04:43] <firestorm> tovella: what is the newest kernel image in feisty?
[04:43] <bobesponja> Quintin: thanx
[04:43] <tovella> firestorm: 2.6.20-8
[04:44] <doppelganger_> i have a knob on my dell keyboard that usually handles it (well, did in kubuntu), but i've even tried binding it to other normal keys on the keyboard and it still effectively controls nothing
[04:44] <tim167> doppelganger_, hmm somehow that doesnt surprise me ...i just use alsamixer most of the time
[04:44] <bamtol> i did try sudo.
[04:44] <doppelganger_> let me see what i'm using, one sec
[04:44] <vox754> Message for everyone: the Herd 4, or development CD for Feisty, is out. More info on ubuntuforums.org Just remember, it is NOT stable. Experts only.
[04:44] <Comrade-Sergei> ntfs
[04:44] <Comrade-Sergei> !ntfs
[04:44] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[04:44] <firestorm> tovella: i agree that it sounds  a little dangerous....is there a URL I can go to instead, download linux-image-2.6.20-8.deb and then do a 'dpkg -i .deb', manually change my boot config....that way I can fall back to known good kernel and not have to mess with my apt sources
[04:44] <fnf> doppelganger_: Did you set the right effective channel in the Volume applet ?
[04:45] <t0dd> Milk_, do you see my messages?
[04:45] <patrialt> vox754 http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6185/
[04:45] <doppelganger_> hmm..  it's set for alsa, but i'm figuring you mean alsamixer as in an app i'd need to download, right?
[04:45] <Milk_> t0dd, yes
[04:45] <doppelganger_> fnf:  i might have, i'm not sure of what you mean exactly
[04:45] <patrialt> idk about you, but that stuff quite franky confuses the crap outta me :p
[04:45] <doppelganger_> (sorry)
[04:45] <Apollyon_> vox754: What does that mean in practise?
[04:45] <tovella> firestorm: what i've suggested will not mess with your existing kernel.  it will add another option when you boot.
[04:45] <fnf> doppelganger_: alsamixer is a ncurses front-end to control sound. It comes by default with Ubuntu.
[04:46] <doppelganger_> actually, i'm using linux mint
[04:46] <fnf> doppelganger_: Open the Preferences of Volume applet
[04:46] <doppelganger_> (didn't wanna 'fess that)
[04:46] <vox754> Apollyon_: If you are an expert, you can try it to give bugs feedback. If you are a newbie, stay away, and wait for April.
[04:46] <doppelganger_> but um..  it might be alsamixer for all i know
[04:46] <fnf> doppelganger_: Do you use GNOME ?
[04:47] <Apollyon_> vox754: I am not a newbie
[04:47] <Milk_> t0dd, via the MOTD, private messages are disabled
[04:47] <fnf> doppelganger_: What is your WM/DE ?
[04:47] <firestorm> tovella: to upgrade my sources from edgy to feisty can I just do a simple regexp replace of s/edgy/feisty/g .. or is there a better technique to updating source lists?
[04:47] <doppelganger_> i have the volume prefs open
[04:47] <Quintin> firestorm: Are you planning on beta testing and filling out bug reports?
[04:47] <Apollyon_> vox754: But not an expert as well. Are you?
[04:47] <patrialt> vox754 sorry, i just realized that im an idiot, they are mounted, and i was sure of that, just for some reason it's displaying the drived differently
[04:47] <patrialt> i have them mounted as /Windows and /Storage
[04:48] <doppelganger_> fnf: gnome
[04:48] <firestorm> Quintin: i just want a new kernel...am willing to strace/gdb if I get errors...but I won't be actively looking for errors
[04:48] <fnf> firestorm: yup, but expect breakage as 2 different repositories do not always work interchangably
[04:48] <vox754> patrialt: you kidding? ... I'm gonna spank you!
[04:48] <patrialt> and instead of showing (in the file browser on the left, they're among the /home files
[04:48] <tovella> firestorm: or you could use sed.
[04:48] <fnf> doppelganger_: Do you have the Volume applet on one of your GNOME panels ?
[04:48] <Quintin> firestorm: oh.  do you *need* a new kernel for something?
[04:48] <firestorm> tovella: cool...just checking...coz I saw something about 'update-manager -c' somewhere
[04:48] <tovella> firestorm: not sure which would be better, though.
[04:48] <patrialt> yea, they're in the "File System" direcotry
[04:48] <doppelganger_> yup, by my date up top
[04:48] <fnf> doppelganger_: If so, right click on it and choose Preferences.
[04:48] <firestorm> Quintin: yup...some hardware drivers etc
[04:48] <patrialt> directory*
[04:49] <francois> evening everyone, i need a hand here, i can't get a link between a folder on my desktop to another user's desktop working, when i create it it says that the folder doesn't exist
[04:49] <firestorm> Quintin: think intel onboard wireless chips in laptops :P
[04:49] <doppelganger_> fnf: i'm there
[04:49] <Quintin> firestorm: as someone mentioned above, change apt sources, get the kernel, then change back... might work
[04:49] <Quintin> firestorm: I would just get another wifi adapter
[04:49] <patrialt> on a lighter note, any idea how to get them to show on the left side? (a way a nooby could accomplish :P)
[04:49] <vox754> Apollyon_: NO. No expert. I just want to make a point, because new users tend to go with those unstable versions and mess their machines. Try it if you have a spare computer or hard drive.
[04:50] <exploit> How to edit boot manager??????
[04:50] <fnf> doppelganger_: You may choose one of the effective channel, the channel which will be changed when you change the volume in the applet. Normally I use Fron or PCM channel.
[04:50] <firestorm> Quintin: so would I if I didn't have a mortgage and wife :)
[04:50] <firestorm> Quintin: I'd get another car too :-)
[04:50] <Apollyon_> vox754: Ok. Thx
[04:50] <doppelganger_> it gives me a basic list of everything i CAN control, but no options other than that
[04:51] <firestorm> so exactly how dangerous is running feisty at the present?
[04:51] <doppelganger_> as in, which one to set as the one to control
[04:51] <doppelganger_> it's just more or less a list of what is available
[04:51] <exploit> i m getting 2 REPEATED OPTION WHILE STARTING PC ............ UBUNTU & UBUNTU recovery mode....... again both of them r repeating....is there ny way to edit boot managar
[04:51] <Quintin> mike1o: I can't support someone with 87 third party repos, sorry.
[04:51] <fnf> doppelganger_: You set which channel should be affected by clicking on it, and try changing the volume.
[04:52] <vox754> patrialt: Not sure really. But try mounting them under "/media/Windows" and "/media/Storage". I think "/media" is a default directory for mounting this stuff.
[04:52] <patrialt> ahh
[04:52] <fnf> doppelganger_: It's a selectable list.
[04:52] <patrialt> hehe, i better not attempt changing mounting points
[04:52] <patrialt> it scares me :P
[04:52] <patrialt> cuz it's not very clear to me
[04:52] <unska_> exploit, yes it is, i unfortunately just dont remember how to ;)
[04:52] <exploit> i m getting 2 REPEATED OPTION WHILE STARTING PC ............ UBUNTU & UBUNTU recovery mode....... again both of them r repeating....is there ny way to edit boot managar ?????????????????????????????????
[04:52] <unska_> theyre listed in a text file
[04:52] <IcemanV9> exploit: /boot/grub/menu.lst; by the way, you'll need recovery mode
[04:53] <francois> doppelganger_: theres an option to set how many images to show, you don't want to delete them, just set it to show only 1 image
[04:53] <Quintin> exploit: Those are the other kernels on your machine.  That's supposed to be there.  Now quit with the caps and idiot punctuation.
[04:53] <Frogzoo> exploit: no spam - ubuntu is failing to boot & looping on the grub prompt - fix the boot issue
[04:53] <fnf> I'm sorry, but gtg
[04:53] <tovella> anyone have any ideas about how to enable Automatic Logoff (after a period of inactivity)?
[04:53] <francois> doppelganger_: sry wrong person
[04:53] <mackinac> exploit:  if they list two different kernel versions, its because you have more than one kernel installed and it's giving you an option to boot from either
[04:54] <exploit> ok thankx guys
[04:54] <bjohnson> xine is my perferred movie player.  I've got it installed but I can't get it to play xvid files.  but I can play them in mplayer.  any ideas on how I can get xine to work too?
[04:54] <firestorm> brb
[04:54] <tim167> exploit: you can edit /boot/grub/menu.lst, but make a backup of it first
[04:54] <exploit> ok
[04:54] <francois> i can't get a link between a folder on my desktop to another user's desktop working, when i create it it says that the folder doesn't exist
[04:54] <Quintin> francois: check permissions
[04:55] <vox754> patrialt: no problemo, just go into your "/etc/fstab" and change "/Windows" with "/media/Windows", same with the other one. Ah, just remembered, "mkdir /media/Windows", first you create the directories. Save the file. And then remount.
[04:55] <AzMoo> Anybody know how I can allow anybody to access my shares without a password?
[04:55] <morpheus74> I'm reading a book on VIM, and some of the commands do not work (e.g. c, T, F).  Any ideas?
[04:55] <doppelganger_> fnf: perhaps this is a different version..   i can check boxes and this and that, but that only dictates what i see now when i double click the mixer on the panel
[04:55] <patrialt> vox754 that have to be done from livecd?
[04:55] <francois> Quintin: i did, everything should be ok, but when i click on the link it just says that the destination doesn't exist, but its obviousl there
[04:55] <doppelganger_> if i use my volume knob, even if i just have master shown, it still doesn't control it
[04:56] <unska_> how do i mount a .img file?
[04:56] <francois> !.img
[04:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about img - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:56] <Karill> You can dd it to a directory
[04:56] <mackinac> !iso
[04:56] <ubotu> To mount an ISO disc image, type "sudo mount -o loop my.iso <mountpoint>" There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before burning. Burning .iso files: see !burn
[04:56] <doppelganger_> hmm..  guess fnf left
[04:56] <doppelganger_> ;(
[04:56] <Karill> or mount it as a loop
[04:56] <Quintin> unska_: mount  ..
[04:56] <vox754> patrialt: NO. It can be done with the current install. The "/etc/fstab" is only used during mounting, that is when you use the command "mount"; else the fstab file is just a normal file.
[04:57] <Quintin> francois: check permissions
[04:57] <patrialt> kk thankies, i'll try it now then :D
[04:57] <patrialt> btw, you make it much more understandable than online guides
[04:57] <exploit> how to login as root in terminal windows?
[04:58] <unska_> mackinac, do i have to unmount it once im done
[04:58] <SteveCoffee> sudo -s and your password exploit
[04:58] <tim167> exploit: sudo su
[04:58] <mackinac> sudo -i
[04:58] <exploit> thankx
[04:58] <Rune_> anyone else have trouble installing libsdl on ubuntu amd64?
[04:59] <mackinac> unska_:  i imagine yes
[04:59] <tim167> mackinac: oh what's sudo su then ?
[04:59] <mackinac> !sudo
[04:59] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[04:59] <Norrit> Hi, been having a small problem installing, getting an error message and wanted to know if anyone could give me some help on it
[04:59] <Byan> !su
[04:59] <francois> Norrit: go ahead
[04:59] <Byan> awe..
[04:59] <unska_> !unmount
[04:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about unmount - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:59] <patrialt> vox754 could you give me the command to enter the File Browser and a SU
[05:00] <francois> unska_: its umount
[05:00] <bjohnson> what repo has w32codecs?
[05:00] <exploit> in terminal i have to edit a text file how to do dat???
[05:00] <Byan> !umount | unska_
[05:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about umount - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:00] <kitche> !seveas | bjohnson
[05:00] <ubotu> bjohnson: Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages. More info (and mirrors) on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[05:00] <francois> exploit: say sudo nano /file/
[05:00] <Byan> heh
[05:00] <vox754> patrialt: Yes. I'm more understandable because I'm charging you... I mean, check this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6186/
[05:00] <patrialt> rofl
[05:00] <bjohnson> kitche: thnx again
[05:01] <Norrit> getting an error message, which seems to be specifying specific nodes on my HD such as = [502.607707]  buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 1
[05:01] <tim167> exploit nano textfile.txt
[05:01] <Norrit> getting a whole lot of them repeating
[05:01] <Mazz> can osmone help me to get my refresh rate to 60Hz?
[05:01] <Mazz> *can someone
[05:01] <vox754> patrialt: File browser? "nautilus" and SU? what do you mean, Superuser? Be specific.
[05:01] <patrialt> yea, sorry, i want to enter nautilus as a superuser
[05:01] <francois> Norrit: say my name before you type to me, it'll help my reading :)
[05:01] <exploit> thankx guys u r very helpfull
[05:01] <bruenig> patrialt, gksudo nautilus
[05:01] <francois> Norrit: ok, so is the hard drive good ? does it run ?
[05:02] <patrialt> bruenig thank you
[05:02] <Quintin> patrialt: gksu nautilus --no-desktop
[05:02] <Apollyon_>  !mounting | unska_
[05:02] <ubotu> unska_: 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
[05:02] <Quintin> mazz look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:02] <Mazz> yes i do that
[05:02] <Norrit> Francois: kk will do, yeah it runs, had a windows install on it. computer i got from a friend. I was looking over it again hdc, is that the normal name given to your HD? i thought that was generaly hda
[05:02] <Mazz> but when i redo it default display to 640x480
[05:03] <Mazz> and nvidia logo is gone
[05:03] <francois> Norrit: yeah it should be hda,
[05:03] <Norrit> Francois: so hdc would apply to? and why is it giving me read errors? bad cd maybe?
[05:03] <francois> Norrit: so windows is already installed, did you let the ubuntu installer partition the drive automatically ?
[05:04] <Mazz> i see there is a tool called "resapplet"
[05:04] <Mazz> but it does not seam to want to run
[05:04] <Apollyon_> Mazz: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:04] <vox754> patrialt: It is not recommended to "enter" the file browser as Superuser. There are restrictions for a reason. It'll be a Coca Cola, by the way.
[05:04] <mackinac> Mazz:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[05:04] <Mazz> ill look into those thanks guys
[05:04] <Norrit> Francois: i started the ubuntu install and it went as far as the second step in the graphical install and starts spewing errors
[05:04] <bruenig> vox754, it is not not recommended to enter the file browser as superuser
[05:04] <francois> Norrit: does the error apear on your hard drive ? or on the cd ? because you can check hte cd, before you install it
[05:05] <patrialt> lol, i only did it so that i could edit fstab without remembering the terminal command
[05:05] <gumpish> ... How do you get a contents of a whole folder AND preserve the file structure with lftp? mget just dumps all of the contained files into your local dir, it doesn't recreate the directory structure...
[05:05] <Norrit> Francois: ill run the check on the cd
[05:05] <francois> Norrit: does the cd run in windows ? it should be able to launch an app with things you can install
[05:05] <patrialt> unless you have tips on ways to remember all these millions of commands for linux :P
[05:05] <Norrit> Francois: dunno lemme check
[05:05] <francois> patrialt: buy a book :)
[05:05] <bruenig> patrialt, well you know gedit is the editor, and gksudo is the graphical sudo, therefore gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
[05:06] <vox754> patrialt: yep, listen to bruenig, it is better "gksudo gedit /etc/fstab"
[05:06] <patrialt> well i didn't know gedit was the command til now xD
[05:06] <exploit> how to change the permission of other hdd to write .....that NTFS......of other OS?
[05:07] <vox754> bruenig: I recall you? but from where, and when?
[05:07] <mackinac> !ntfs
[05:07] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[05:07] <Norrit> Francois: i think its an older version, might just redownload if anything *still checking in windows, its loading up alright*
[05:07] <Apollyon_> francois: water wash the cd and dry it. Probable it is dirt
[05:07] <patrialt> brb
[05:07] <bruenig> vox754, probably in here
[05:07] <Norrit> Francois: loads fine in windows
[05:07] <francois> Norrit: yeah, the cd might be dirty, which version do you have ?
[05:08] <vox754> bruenig: OBVIOUSLY from here. But, specific conversation?
[05:08] <Norrit> 6.06?
[05:08] <bruenig> There are so many
[05:08] <Norrit> Francois: 6.02?
[05:08] <murdoc> Can someone help me I can't find where Internet Explorer is in Ubuntu?
[05:08] <Norrit> francois: bah, 6.06 rather.
[05:08] <francois> Norrit: ok, where theres 6.10, so you can either try installing the old version, and then updating if you want to, or just burn the latest....
[05:09] <tim167> murdoc: use Firefox
[05:09] <francois> hahahahaha
[05:09] <Quintin> murdoc: opera is faster
[05:09] <Quintin> by far
[05:09] <mackinac> lol
[05:09] <Norrit> Francois: alright, im gonna try to wash and install see fi that works
[05:09] <murdoc> Firefox doesn't have the E in the corner like IE though
[05:09] <bruenig> lynx is pretty fast
[05:09] <francois> links is king
[05:09] <francois> text all the way
[05:09] <murdoc> No images
[05:09] <lotusleaf> Quintin: fast is no good if I can't audit the code for security
[05:10] <murdoc> Can I swear in this channel or is that frowned upon?
[05:10] <patrialt> vox754 i love you haha, that was so easy
[05:10] <patrialt> i actually understand what i did there
[05:10] <francois> murdoc: frowned
[05:10] <patrialt> (changing my Storage and Windows mounts
[05:10] <murdoc> What's the limit like can I say damn?
[05:10] <francois> murdoc: yeah just about
[05:10] <murdoc> ghey
[05:10] <kitche> !ohmy
[05:10] <Apollyon_> !language | murdoc
[05:10] <ubotu> murdoc: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[05:10] <murdoc> nooooooo

[05:11] <murdoc> Care-Bears
[05:11] <patrialt> vox754 have you ever changed your /home directory to a seperate partition for storage?
[05:12] <patrialt> err, has anyone, for that matter?
[05:12] <bruenig> I merged them once
[05:12] <vox754> patrialt: Luke, I'm your father... Now take some bucks and donate them to an open source project, I suggest "ndiswrapper". ... My /home is a separate partition.
[05:12] <patrialt> lol vox754 what if im broke :(
[05:12] <Norrit> Francois: its during the "mounting root file system" stage that it happens
[05:12] <patrialt> aka FREE OS GO!
[05:13] <patrialt> sry , forgot teh caps rule
[05:13] <bruenig> patrialt, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome
[05:13] <francois> Norrit: ok, so whats the exact error ?
[05:13] <patrialt> bruenig, no, that's where i went when things went wrong
[05:13] <bruenig> oh
[05:13] <patrialt> when i went to log in my user account on Ubuntu, after making the changes
[05:13] <patrialt> it said my /home directory was missing, and wouldn't let me log in
[05:13] <bruenig> patrialt, did you change fstab?
[05:13] <patrialt> yea
[05:14] <patrialt> but i didn't understand what i was doing
[05:14] <Norrit> [502.607707]  buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 1 - starting at a much lower number in brackets and continuing for a while, until i shut down
[05:14] <bayziders> Ho do you uninstall a package?
[05:14] <patrialt> i was basically (at some points) copy+pasting things
[05:14] <sigger> can anyone recommend an irc client that (1) has GUI and (2) allows you to turn off join/part/etc msgs?
[05:14] <Norrit> Francois: [502.607707]  buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 1 - starting at a much lower number in brackets and continuing for a while, until i shut down
[05:14] <bruenig> patrialt, oh I think the issue might be that this doesn't use uuid
[05:14] <veganpops> bayziders: sudo apt-get remove mypackage
[05:14] <patrialt> no clue bruinig
[05:14] <mackinac> sigger:  Xchat
[05:14] <patrialt> sigger, im using Chatzilla
[05:15] <Norrit> Francois: just tried again, the error started at 174.54212
[05:15] <francois> Norrit: what kind of machine are you running this on ? i need to understand what hdc is,
[05:15] <kungfugoat> can anyone recommend a good media player for gnome that's equal to amarok?
[05:15] <sigger> patrialt: I was just trying chatzilla.  I didn't see how to turn off the join/part/etc/msgs
[05:15] <Quintin> kungfugoat: mplayer is the best.
[05:15] <Quintin> sigger: irssi
[05:15] <bruenig> kungfugoat, listen exaile
[05:15] <bayziders> The package is called crossover-pro so  sudo apt-get remove crossover-pro?
[05:15] <sigger> mackinac: just DL xchat.
[05:16] <Norrit> Francois: old emachine i got from a friend, CD, Floppy, one HD
[05:16] <sigger> Quintin: looking for GUI.  irssi is terminal, yes?
[05:16] <vox754> bruenig: Now that you mention that, I haven't tried those methods to "symlink" a partition to the home directory. I just use different partitions in chunks for storage. I need to try some of this stuff.
[05:16] <Norrit> Francois: should i just download 6.1, and try it on another cd?
[05:16] <exploit> how to change permission to write my other OS partition through Ubuntu?
[05:16] <Quintin> sigger: you don't need a gui.
[05:16] <patrialt> i prefer gui, cuz im a stupidhead :P
[05:17] <sigger> ditto
[05:17] <bruenig> it isn't symlinking
[05:17] <francois> Norrit: ok, did you check to see if the computer meets requirements ? and the cd rom works because you ran it in windows right ?
[05:17] <Quintin> exploit: writing to NTFS is experimental and not recommened.
[05:17] <patrialt> sigger yea, i just looked, dont see the notify on/off button either :p
[05:17] <bruenig> I don't think, I didn't read through it but it seems kind of ridiculous to symlink it
[05:17] <smile> Hi
[05:17] <mackinac> !ntfs-3g > exploit
[05:17] <smile> im planning on installing ubuntu for the first time soon!
[05:17] <mackinac> !fuse > exploit
[05:18] <patrialt> bruenig what you use a seperate partition for storage what format do you use?
[05:18] <francois> smile: good job, :)
[05:18] <patrialt> when you use*
[05:18] <bruenig> patrialt, ext3
[05:18] <bruenig> patrialt, you don't have to change the /home directory to just make a separate storage partition
[05:18] <patrialt> with the little windows program listed on that weblink you gave me a moment ago?
[05:19] <sigger> wow, I miss icechat (win).  I just assumed other irc clients would allow turning off the annoying notifys.
[05:19] <exploit> ya 2 hdd r coming on my ubuntu desktop but i m not able to write on that hdd..so is there ny way to write???
[05:19] <Norrit> Francois: yes it works in windows, didnt check sys reqs, and feel kind of stupid for that. its a 366 Celeron, 32 meg ram, 4 gig hd, figured that was enough
[05:19] <patrialt> but by default doesn't all downloaded items from the add/remove or synaptic manager download to the ubuntu default partition?
[05:19] <bayziders> I am trying to install a package buy got the error that it conflicts with another package so i removed the other package but i still get the error what do i do?
[05:19] <EdgEy> hmm
[05:19] <EdgEy> is there any way to force a particular refresh rate for X
[05:19] <EdgEy> instead of giving a range
[05:19] <sigger> sounds like a good time to try wine
[05:19] <vox754> bruenig: I don't say it is symlinking, but I know there are different things that I've yet to try.
[05:19] <francois> Norrit: not enough ram, you might want to install the alternate cd, and then install a desktop,
[05:20] <exploit> quintin?
[05:20] <Norrit> Francois: what is the ram req? i might have some old SD layin around
[05:20] <francois> Norrit: recommended to have 128, anyhting less is rediculous
[05:20] <Quintin> exploit: ?
[05:21] <allen> ??
 ya 2 hdd r coming on my ubuntu desktop but i m not able to write on that hdd..so is there ny way to write???
[05:21] <mackinac> keeps repeating question...
[05:21] <vox754> EdgEy, what range? Where did you see that?
[05:21] <Jackz> I still has issues with Artifacts, and the memtest told me I had no problems. Suggestions?
[05:21] <mackinac> exploit:  did you get message from ubotu?
[05:21] <Norrit> Francois: haha agreed, didnt realise the ram req was so high tho, didnt care to do any work on the system haah
[05:22] <Quintin> exploit: If you are asking me a question, preface it with "Quintin:" so my client highlights it please
[05:22] <bayziders> What does edgy have on the last dapper drake?
[05:22] <EdgEy> vox754, you set vsync/hsync ranges for your monitor
[05:22] <francois> Norrit: the graphic components require a lot,
[05:22] <EdgEy> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg does it it's also in xorg.conf
[05:22] <bruenig> bayziders, upstart init
[05:22] <francois> Norrit: if you just run and use the command line then its ok
[05:22] <francois> Norrit: but otherwise get the alternate cd install
[05:22] <bayziders> bruenig: What does that mean?
[05:22] <vox754> EdgEy: I think that refers to the "monitor" and has little to do with the actual X Server.
[05:22] <bruenig> !upstart
[05:22] <ubotu> Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.  For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/
[05:23] <bruenig> exciting!
[05:23] <Jackz> I still has issues with Artifacts, and the memtest told me I had no problems. Suggestions?
[05:23] <Norrit> Francois: whats the alternate install?
[05:23] <gaspipe1> night all
[05:23] <bayziders> Not really. =\. I upgraded and only half my apps worked correctly
[05:23] <t0dd> what should i search for to install flash?
[05:23] <bruenig> Jackz, at this point, if I were you, I would give up on ubuntu. Couple of days in here and still problems
[05:23] <francois> Norrit: a seperate version of ubuntu for older computers, without all the extra stuff,
[05:23] <bruenig> t0dd, pastebin the output of this command "cat /etc/apt/sources.list"
[05:23] <Jackz> Yeah.. I was thinking that
[05:24] <bruenig> !paste | t0dd
[05:24] <ubotu> t0dd: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[05:24] <francois> t0dd: go to www.adobe.com and follow instructions
[05:24] <Norrit> Francois: hrm, kk ill check it out
[05:24] <Jackz> But, I haven't spent all that much time in here, but any other suggestions for good Linux distrobutions?
[05:24] <Norrit> Francois: thanks a lot
[05:24] <francois> Norrit: np, but i didn't really fix anything lol
[05:24] <LT1> Jackz - Debian
[05:24] <bayziders> jacksz:Install it from the kernel, that's always fun.
[05:24] <EdgEy> Jackz,  what graphics card do you have
[05:24] <bayziders> (sorry for typo)
[05:25] <Jackz> Debian, or openSUSE, or RedHat - I have a 7800GT
[05:25] <bruenig> openSUSE is evil
[05:25] <francois> openSUSE is garbage
[05:25] <EdgEy> i had problems with my 6200turbocache in debian, though my 7900gto is fine in ubuntu
[05:25] <bayziders> I want to install gentoo.
[05:25] <bruenig> by association
[05:25] <giod> Jackz: mint is cool
[05:25] <EdgEy> and i'm going to say
[05:25] <EdgEy> it's probably more graphics drivers than the distro
[05:25] <bruenig> mint will give you the same problems since it is ubuntu + codecs
[05:25] <vox754> bruenig: weren't you the guy that helped people with their Broadcom wireless devices?
[05:25] <giod> yea
[05:25] <bayziders> Devil Liux, go with that one.
[05:26] <elkbuntu> can we please keep this channel on topic (ubuntu support only). if you want to talk about stuff that doesnt fit that, go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:26] <bayziders> GUIS are for nubs, obviously.
[05:26] <bruenig> No I am not a wireless person
[05:26] <giod> but its cool cause it haz "Dirty software"
[05:26] <Jackz> I was thinking it might be the drivers - is there a way to install ubuntu with the driver package, or whatever?
[05:26] <Quintin> Jackz: What is your problem, exactly?
[05:26] <t0dd> bruenig http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6187/
[05:26] <Norrit> Francois: just thoguht of this, the computer was running win XP in graphical interface
[05:27] <giod> Jackz: yes whats the prob. Just enterd
[05:27] <francois> Norrit: woah, thats harsh, must of been slow as hell
[05:27] <vox754> The first Linux I tried was OpenSUSE. . . . . . Just because the genial chameleon mascot . . . . I wish Ubuntu had it.
[05:27] <Norrit> it was, but it ran it, is ubuntu harder than XP?
[05:27] <bayziders> People who I was talking to before: go to offtopic
[05:28] <Jackz> When Ubuntu boots, from CD, or from a Text-Only install, there are artfacts, which are bearable, but within moments, or a few clicks, the artifacts make the screen indecipherable, and the whole computer freezes.
[05:28] <giod> Norrit: No it is easier
[05:28] <bruenig> t0dd, do the following all at once: sudo bash -c 'echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy-backports main restricted universe multiverse" >> /etc/apt/sources.list' && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[05:28] <francois> Norrit: X is hard on ram, not so much ubuntu
[05:28] <Jackz> The CD Tray won't even open after the problem elevates.
[05:28] <Hedegaard> hey guys, where can i find new themes ? and where do i make setting to how things should look - can't find it anywhere....
[05:29] <Norrit> Francois: thats what i thoguht, hrm, so probably not the ram then, there migh have been an upgrade, the 32 was on the sticker on the front
[05:29] <bruenig> Hedegaard, art.gnome.org gnome-look.org
[05:29] <mackinac> Hedegaard:  system > preferences > theme
[05:29] <patrialt> Hedegaard yea, mackinac was faster than me
[05:30] <Hedegaard> bruenig, i've been looking there - but i have no clue what to download - they have gtk, compiz, metacity and what have we not .. don't know what they do or which one i should go for when i want a different theme
[05:30] <Quintin> Jackz: What kind of hardware?
[05:30] <mackinac> metacity
[05:30] <bruenig> Hedegaard, metacity unless you have changed stuff, and you probably haven't or you would know which one
[05:30] <Hedegaard> mackinac, i was thinking something else than the default themes :)
[05:31] <Hedegaard> gotcha :) i'll give it a try and come back crying in half an hour :) thanks for the help :)

[05:36] <Vilhelms> Is it possible to mount an FTP site?

[05:37] <bruenig> Mena, you would have to set a cron job
[05:37] <jager> funny.
[05:37] <sigger> patrialt: I can remove notify's in xchat.   Settings, Advanced, Text Events then delete those events (e.g. join, part)
[05:37] <vox754> bayziders, you can do that in private "/query ubotu" all you want.
[05:37] <mackinac> edgy elf :)
[05:37] <bayziders> Crossover pro was corssover 5.0 it is like wine but closed scource. I got a "fixed" version of it from a torrent site called demonoid

[05:45] <mackinac> i dual boot with second hdd - yeah it was confusing at first because grub didn't know how to find windows - had to edit "device.map" and all was good :)
[05:45] <bruenig> Mena, so every saturday at 6:42?

[05:46] <Mena> bruenig, ok the time i wont would be.....8:00 am and every thursday
[05:46] <Aralor> the howto simply says to put in the cd and follow the instructions. easy enough. will it give me the option of installing linux on the second hard drive?

[05:47] <ivx> lufil, i use frostwire
[05:47] <lufi1> ivx: limewire clone? is it java?

[05:55] <Dr_willis> Wimpog,  apt-get remove whatever
[05:55] <shoumik> Bruening it says to copy libfmodex to /usr/lib. How do I do that via terminal
[05:55] <Wimpog> bruenig: phpmyadmin. The problem is I accidentally changed the language to russian or something and can no longer see phpmyadmin's page, it gives a bunch of errors.
[05:55] <shoumik> It also says i need root priveleges\
[05:55] <bruenig> Mena, perfect
[05:55] <Dr_willis> Wimpog,  the purge option 'should' clean out any config files as well
[05:55] <Wimpog> Dr_willis: I tried that, but the config files are NOT being replaced
[05:55] <Mena> bruenig,ok
[05:55] <newest007> omfg....

[05:56] <bruenig> Mena, yeah
[05:56] <amaan> i was looking for realtek audio drivers for my asus w7j...does anyone know where i can find for ubuntu?
[05:56] <bruenig> fourth&
[05:56] <bhall412> wimpog- find the folder, and delete it (you may need to be sudo- best way is to type 'sudo nautilus). I am assuming you have apt-get removed and there are files left over
[05:56] <newest007> truly dissapointed with ubuntus capabilitys when it comes to games
[05:56] <Dr_willis> newest007,  you expect a comercial game to be in the repos? theres some doom 'rewrites' out.. but not sure if any re in the repos.
[05:56] <bhall412> a script/daemon keeps overwriting my resolv.conf, resulting in being unable to contact my DNS. The solution is to comment out 2 lines of code in a file- problem is, i cant remember what file. Please help!
[05:56] <Mena> bruenig,ohhh okay good
[05:56] <QRZ> Wimpog: Try, "sudo apt-get --purge remove --assume-yes <package_name>" to remove it.
[05:56] <newest007> no i got the doom wads
[05:56] <Mena> bruenig,thanks :)
[05:57] <newest007> i just need the doom legacy port
[05:57] <newest007> which i know where it is
[05:57] <Dr_willis> lxdoom - Unix port of boom, an enhanced version of DOOM

[05:57] <newest007> installing it is a hassle
[05:57] <newest007> a big hassle
[05:57] <shoumik> It also says i need root priveleges\
[05:57] <shoumik> Bruening it says to copy libfmodex to /usr/lib. How do I do that via terminal
[05:57] <Dr_willis> life is a hassle.
[05:57] <Wimpog> QRZ: the problem is that I deleted some of the config files manually, and now when I install it again it says "Not replacing deleted config file /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf..."
[05:57] <newest007> yes i have doom legacy it on my desktop
[05:57] <bruenig> shoumik, which are you?
[05:57] <newest007> how the hell do i install it though????
[05:57] <vox754> Attention everyone: Herd 4, development version for Feisty, is out. This is NOT a stable version. It is released only so people can give feedback and, possibly, report bugs. Don't use it if you don't know what you're doing.

[05:57] <newest007> theres about a million different ways
[05:58] <newest007> whcih most dont work
[05:58] <newest007> its stupid
[05:58] <bruenig> shoumik, oh you are tar.gz guy, give a link to the package, I shall DL and look
[05:58] <Dr_willis> newest007,  on the desktop?  Id just fire up the package manager and click the packages and click install.
[05:58] <shoumik> k
[05:58] <Dr_willis> the packages may require the comercial data files from the doom game.
[05:58] <amaan> i was looking for realtek audio drivers for my asus w7j...does anyone know where i can find for ubuntu?
[05:58] <QRZ> Wimpog: Yeah, try removing it first with that command...
[05:58] <newest007> right... so i fired up synaptic
[05:58] <newest007> now what
[05:59] <newest007> cause i type in doom in synaptic... nothing

[05:59] <Wimpog> QRZ: you're great guys
[05:59] <newest007> ive checked the forums
[05:59] <shoumik> ummm no
[05:59] <Dr_willis> newest007,  on the desktop? you did not need to download it seperately.. the package manager will download and install packages.. You are thinking in windows terms.
[05:59] <bruenig> ok
[05:59] <shoumik> gtkpod is stubborn
[06:00] <bruenig> just wondering while it downloads
[06:00] <shoumik> i'be used yamipod in windows and i liked it
[06:00] <newest007> really, so i just type in doom legacy into synaptic and voila....
[06:00] <newest007> well that didnt happen
[06:00] <newest007> thats why i dl it manually
[06:00] <Dr_willis> you proberly dont have the multiverse and other repos enabled.
[06:00] <shoumik> i can almost run yamipod windows version via wine
[06:00] <maz> Man do any of you guys know how to make copies of CDs?  I've tried gnomebaker and graveman but they both think there's no audio CD loaded, when there is.  Annoying...
[06:00] <shoumik> but it shuts down.

[06:01] <vox754> newest007: Please don't rant angrily. There is nothing wrong with having a separate Win partition to play games. Take it easy.
[06:01] <bruenig> shoumik, ok, it looks like you should do this, first cd into the directory and do "sudo cp libfmodex.so.4.02.05 /usr/lib" and then do ./YamiPod
[06:01] <shoumik> ok
[06:01] <Mazz> ok when i go into xrandr i only see a refresh rate of 85Hz which i do not want anyway to get 60Hz with this?
[06:01] <newest007> i give up
[06:01] <newest007>  its impossible
[06:01] <newest007> a week and a half
[06:01] <newest007> and i cant even install doom, lol,
[06:01] <exploit> how to access another partition of hd through ubuntu desktop?
[06:02] <bruenig> uh oh no doom, OS is obsolete
[06:03] <exploit> is there any way to write another partition of HD through ubuntu desktop?
[06:03] <bruenig> exploit, you need to mount it, do you know its name (/dev/something)

[06:04] <maz> So has anyone here been able to make CD copies?
[06:04] <bruenig> maz, like what exactly?
[06:04] <exploit> i m able to read drive but not write.........how to change permission from root to my username?
[06:04] <Dr_willis> maz,  ? dd to a ,iso file and then burn the ,iso file :)
[06:04] <patrialt> bruenig yea, i got that far, but when i browse for the file i have, it wont show up :p
[06:04] <bruenig> yeah I was thinking what Dr_willis said
[06:04] <maz> bruenig, i'm trying to copy an audio cd, but graveman and gnomebaker can't see the audio cd i put in
[06:04] <Dr_willis> exploit,  what kind of partition?
[06:04] <exploit> ntfs
[06:04] <maz> dr_willis, was the command dd?  I can do that i guess
[06:05] <mackinac> who_cares:  /var/log/messages ??
[06:05] <Lionheart> Anybody know what font the terminal uses and if it's the same for other distros?
[06:05] <bruenig> maz, do you know the name of your drive? (/dev/something)
[06:05] <Dr_willis> dd if=/dev/cdrom of=whatever.iso
[06:05] <amaan> i was looking for realtek audio drivers for my asus w7j...does anyone know where i can find for ubuntu?

[06:06] <patrialt> ahh
[06:06] <patrialt> he's so sneaky
[06:06] <Dr_willis> exploit,  also the ubuntu wiki/pages have some info on ntfs partitions
[06:06] <Dr_willis> !ntfs
[06:06] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[06:06] <shoumik> whats the command in terminal for moving files??
[06:06] <exploit> ok thankx
[06:06] <mackinac> !ntfs-3g | exploit
[06:06] <ubotu> exploit: 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.

[06:06] <Lionheart> shoumik it's mv
[06:06] <shoumik> ok
[06:06] <mackinac> for the 3rd or 4th time...
[06:07] <shoumik> would i have to be in the directory to move the file?
[06:07] <maz> dr_willis, dd gave me the error message input/output error.  Could my CDrom have another name??
[06:07] <FireHazard17> ntfs-3g is now RC1
[06:07] <Dr_willis> maz,  could.. :) look in /dev/ and see
[06:07] <FireHazard17> there wont be RC2
[06:07] <FireHazard17> just the release
[06:08] <Dr_willis> maz,  may be /dev/cdrom0 not sure.
[06:08] <exploit> wat say ill use or not that ntfs-3g??????
[06:08] <mackinac> exploit, what is your native language?
[06:08] <Dr_willis> exploit,  if you MUST write to the ntfs drives.. you will want it.
[06:08] <maz> dr_willis there's a dev/cdrom, and a /dev/cdrw
[06:08] <vox754> shoumik, NO. You can move thing like this "mv <something> <somewhere>", the something may be the absolute path "/some/path" to "/another/path"
[06:08] <FireHazard17> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009
[06:09] <FireHazard17> ^^ for RC
[06:09] <Lionheart> So nobody knows the "system terminal" font?
[06:09] <exploit> actually i want 2 write from songs 4m dvd to my ntfs hd partition therefore i can play 4m both ubuntu & windows
[06:09] <Vilhelms> I installed lufs from package but I get an error when I try to mount an ftpfs, the error is "you don't have kernel lufs support (check whether the lufs module is available/loaded)
[06:09] <Vilhelms> "
[06:10] <vox754> exploit, Don't use it. It is better to copy your files to a ext3 partition. Now Windows is able to read ext3 through a plugin.
[06:10] <maz> dr_willis an ls -l /dev/cdrom shows that it is a link to /hdd
[06:10] <Dr_willis> maz,  ya should be able to do a dd if=/dev/hdd of=whatever.iso also then.
[06:10] <exploit> i m abe to read from ntfs hd but not write is it fine ...?
[06:11] <Dr_willis> exploit,  thats normal...
[06:11] <maz> dr_willis, same error.  Isn't hdd hard disk drive??
[06:11] <vox754> Lionheart, I don't know. Maybe "console" or something. I've seen shells where you can modify these parameters. I think I saw them in Knoppix .
[06:11] <Dr_willis> exploit,  writing is considuered 'risky' but i hear it works ok.
[06:11] <Dr_willis> maz,  whats the exact command ya are doing? and whats the exact error?
[06:11] <CapaH> Does anyone here know a quick way to test if a password is or is not valid for a certificate file (.p12 .crt etc) ?
[06:12] <exploit> ok
[06:12] <maz> dr_willis:  command is   sudo dd if=/dev/hdd of=tomwaits.iso and the error is...   dd: reading `/dev/hdd': Input/output error
[06:12] <Lionheart> I've searched for console/terminal/system. No luck :(
[06:12] <amaan> i was looking for realtek audio drivers for my asus w7j...does anyone know where i can find for ubuntu?
[06:12] <vox754> exploit: YES. Reading is normal. But writing is not fully supported due to proprietary issues with Microsoft.
[06:12] <fr500> hello
[06:12] <Dr_willis> maz,  Hmmm....
[06:12] <fr500> i installed 2 new sata drivers on a n existing desktop
[06:12] <exploit> microsoft sucks
[06:12] <Dr_willis> maz,  you do have a cd in the drive? :)
[06:13] <vox754> Lionheart: try "slocate fonts"
[06:13] <fr500> is it possible to partition them using LVM (the other disk is not like that) and move my home there?
[06:13] <maz> lol yes dr_willis, and sound juicer can see it
[06:13] <exploit> Sound output is not working....any way to fix it?
[06:13] <Dr_willis> dd if=/dev/hdb of=test.iso
[06:13] <Dr_willis> works for me.
[06:13] <vox754> !sound
[06:13] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[06:16] <nathan__> I just installed ubuntu along with the developer packages, downloaded the latest version of epic, and it refuses to compile, it passed the configure script fine though.  Anyone else have any problems getting epic to compile?

[06:19] <arrenlex> Tonren: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/28
[06:19] <arrenlex> bleanna_unux: Yes, you need [xkg] dm. No you don't need to configure anything.
[06:20] <y0hm> How does one remove the .conf files & stuff with apt-get remove ? I thought there was an option for doing that !

[06:20] <ardchoille> Is there a tutorial about how to have multiple livecd's on one dvd? I know it's possible to do this, but I just need to learn how.
[06:20] <y0hm> yup :)

[06:26] <exploit> can i install Yahelite on ubuntu????
[06:26] <andou> Quintin: So, can I just use my ipaddress and then instead of http://.* I could use ftp://myipaddress?
[06:26] <arrenlex> cellfish: And remove totem-mozilla.
[06:26] <Quintin> exploit: You're getting on my nerves.  *one* "?", ok?

[06:33] <Quintin> andou: type 'traceroute google.com' in a terminal.  Anyone on any of the computers between you and the remote site can sniff traffic, get access to login details, and proceed to do bad stuff.
[06:33] <_jvictor> meisam: use this > sudo update-alternatives --config  java
[06:33] <lotusleaf> shoumik: also the forums: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/
[06:33] <meisam> it did not work
[06:33] <_jvictor> angel do u use a dlink router by anychance ?
[06:33] <meisam> _jvictor it did not work
[06:33] <Moniker42> how do i play .mov files? ie Apple Trailers?
[06:33] <Quintin> andou: I would use scp.  http://winscp.sf.net/ is an opensource, easy to use scp/sftp client that you can use on windows machines.  On ubuntu, you can use scp command-line program or you can mount with sshfs or the built-in gnome tool for mounting ssh
[06:33] <andou> Quintin: I won't be putting anything of 'real' importance on the ftp. I just want to use it for practice. Also, I'm in Korea and an associate of mine will be sending video files from Australia that we will edit here
[06:34] <_jvictor> meisam can u tell what the error is ?
[06:34] <andou> Quintin I thought an FTP would be the best way to send the files.

[06:34] <Quintin> andou: Use a different user account than your own, and set the shell of that account to /bin/false.
[06:34] <cellfish> is totem NECESSARY to have in ubuntu? it seems all of my problems would be solved if i just got rid of it
[06:34] <Quintin> cellfish: totem is piece of useless FILTH.
[06:34] <Quintin> rubbish.  junk.  garbage.
[06:35] <arrenlex> cellfish: Of course not. Nothing is really NECESSARY in ubuntu.
[06:35] <meisam> there is no error he said there is only one program provides java...
[06:35] <_jvictor> angel 3 things to do .. i use a static ip ,2) add you ISP's dns server add instead of ur router 3) disable ipv6
[06:35] <exploit> i use camorama app for my cam..but not detectable.....any other app for cam?
[06:35] <arrenlex> cellfish: Especially not media players.
[06:35] <cellfish> because it's seriously getting in the way of my trying to view the videos on cnn.com
[06:35] <_jvictor> ok so u have only gcj installed ?
[06:35] <Tonren> I'm trying to configure my server with a static IP instead of DHCP; I'm behind an SMC Barricade G router.  I can set up /etc/network/interfaces with "iface eth0 static; address 192.168.2.200;" and it successfully gets the IP address and I can navigate to my router's config page, but I can't access the internet
[06:35] <Quintin> andou: From command-line 'sudo usermod -s /bin/false ftp' to change ftp user to have a non-login shell.  Then you should be ok
[06:35] <cellfish> why does it constantly tell me that i may be removing 'ubuntu-desktop' if i try to remove all of the useless software?
[06:36] <_jvictor> the jre is different from the jdk..
[06:36] <Quintin> Tonren: Yes you can access the internet.
[06:36] <andou> Quintin: Ok. That's some great advice. I'm checking it out now. Thanks for that.
[06:36] <Quintin> andou: glad to help

[06:36] <ubotu> cellfish: A meta-package is a package that simply depends upon other packages and brings them in. It's not a real package, but a very useful package that can drag in other package versions.
[06:36] <Tonren> Quintin: Pinging anything gets me "network is unreachable".
[06:36] <Tonren> Quintin: Anything except the router, that is
[06:37] <fieryprophet> Anyone have any idea how to get around this error everytime I boot? "Unknown interrupt or fault 0X00000, etc." ?
[06:37] <Quintin> Tonren: You didn't configure the interface properly then.  I was thinking it was name resolution.
[06:37] <Quintin> Tonren: Please paste your /etc/network/interfaces for me
[06:37] <Quintin> !paste Tonren
[06:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about paste tonren - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[06:37] <ubotu> cellfish: 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.

[06:37] <cellfish> alright ... so this friggin bullshit is telling me that 'totem' can't play the cnn video even though it should be gone ... it still appears and loads from the menu, but even add/remove acts like totem isn't installed
[06:37] <system_e> File-roller (archive manager) corrupt my text file while making tar.gz file. Does anyone know how to repair it. Added spaces (or something that looks like spaces) between all letters. There were about 10 files and only one with .pl ending has this problem. Kate tells me it is binary file.

[06:38] <sparr> cellfish: in firefox?
[06:38] <Quintin> system_e: odd.  have you tried creating with command line tar?
[06:39] <arrenlex> cellfish: Have you restarted firefox? If so, type about:plugins in the address bar and pastebin the whole page.
[06:39] <cellfish> ok nevermind, i got rid of totem
[06:39] <fr500> which is better aiglx or xgl?
[06:39] <cellfish> now cnn loads mplayer but the video itself doesn't show
[06:39] <Quintin> fr500: better is highly subjective.  but aiglx
[06:39] <Tonren> Quintin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6189/
[06:39] <fr500> Quintin, ok
[06:39] <sparr> ubuntu is a bit wonky when it comes to media plugins for firefox
[06:39] <fr500> care to explain?
[06:39] <arrenlex> cellfish: Right-click on mplayer-plugin, go to configure, and check "Connect to RTSP media over TCP"
[06:40] <Quintin> Tonren: what is the address of your internet gateway?
[06:40] <fieryprophet> "Unknown interrupt or fault at EIP 00000060" about a thousand times over is scrolling down by screen whenever I boot Ubuntu. I am more than technically inclined (I have linux acpi=off and noapic in the GRUB menu.lst file, but this error is continuing)
[06:40] <Tonren> Quintin: 192.168.2.1
[06:41] <cellfish> arrenlex: alright, done ... now when i run a quicktime, it runs, but some of the video is cut out
[06:41] <system_e> Quintin: I'm trying to get my file back. I don't have the orginal. I don't know how to use comand line for tat or gzip.  You think that ther may be a command to repair archive?
[06:41] <arrenlex> cellfish: "cut out"?
[06:41] <Quintin> Tonren: I've corrected the file.  Install the corrected version, then do sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0
[06:41] <exploit> i have hp notebook .....wid cam built ... is there ny way or app for working of webcam?
[06:41] <Tonren> Quintin: I can't see your correction.
[06:41] <Quintin> system_e: You can't manually correct it?
[06:41] <Quintin> Tonren: sorry, try http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6190/
[06:41] <meisam> sorry guys, i think there has been problem has happend to my .bashrc file, the terminal is not working, what to do?
[06:42] <cellfish> yeah .. i see the top left of the video .. the right extreme side and the bottom right doesn't show ... and that checkmark didn't help for cnn
[06:42] <rpc> do you know what might be causing regular ssh sessions disconnect on a particular box? keepalive in enabled on sshd
[06:42] <tabman> how can I update to the latest version of firefox ?
[06:42] <Quintin> rpc: solar flares.
[06:42] <Quintin> tabman: apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade
[06:42] <system_e> Quintin: Yes I can but it will take me some time.
[06:42] <rpc> Quintin i thought so too at first :)
[06:42] <cellfish> arrenlex: ok nevermind, quicktime works fine now ... only cnn is left
[06:43] <meisam> guys sorry  i was changing something in .bashrc file
[06:43] <cellfish> argh nope, still cuts the image
[06:43] <arrenlex> cellfish: Does selecting x11 as your video driver in configure help?
[06:44] <Tonren> Quintin: Okay, now I can ping IP addresses but not domain names.
[06:44] <Tonren> Quintin: My resolv.conf is blank
[06:44] <Tonren> Quintin: How do I set a nameserver properly?
[06:44] <arrenlex> cellfish: Also, you are refreshing when you change these settings, right?
[06:44] <meisam> i think it is damaged, the terminal does not recognize any coommand
[06:44] <fieryprophet> Would anyone mind assisting me on an Ubuntu booting issue?
[06:44] <cellfish> arrenlex: heh, nothing was selected.. i just put it on gl
[06:44] <Quintin> Tonren: sudo echo "4.2.2.2" > /etc/resolv.conf
[06:44] <arrenlex> cellfish: Try x11.
[06:44] <Tonren> Quintin: resolv.conf says "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE MANUALLY, YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN."
[06:44] <system_e> Quintin: You think i should test how this happend and if it will happend again send a bug report. If yes where should i send bug report.
[06:44] <Quintin> Tonren: I'd keep 4.2.2.2 at the bottom of resolv.conf and put the nameservers listed in your route at the top.
[06:44] <Tonren> Quintin: Also, what is 4.2.2.2?  Shouldn't it be 192.168.2.1, or one of the nameservers listed in my router's configuration?
[06:44] <Quintin> Tonren: lies.  make the file readonly when you're done.
[06:45] <cellfish> arrenlex: should that fix cnn.com's video too?
[06:45] <noodles12> I have a fat32 partition to transfer between xp and ubuntu. How come it xp doesn't recognize the newly copied file right away. It usually takes a restart or a few minutes for xp to recognize the newly copied folders. why is that?
[06:45] <Dr_willis> hrh hrh
[06:45] <Quintin> Tonren: it's a military DNS server.
[06:45] <Tonren> Quintin: Ah, guaranteed to be up.
[06:45] <tabman> Quintin: I just want the update for firefox
[06:45] <reklipz_> hey guys, ive got a 1.4GHz Centrino and 128MB PC2700 DDRRAM equipped laptop currently running ubuntu edgy. I'm wondering if I'll notice any speed increase by switching to ubuntu, any ideas?
[06:45] <arrenlex> cellfish: I don't know what's wrong with it. It works for me. *shrug*
[06:45] <Tonren> Quintin: Doesn't it need to be "nameserver x.x.x.x" and not just the IP adress?
[06:45] <cellfish> maybe i just need to install the codec.
[06:45] <meisam> how can i fine .bashrc file guys?
[06:45] <shoumik> Hi I just downloaded qc-usb-source. How do I compile the source?
[06:45] <cellfish> lemme try a regular wmv without streaming
[06:45] <meisam> find
[06:46] <arrenlex> reklipz_: currently running ubuntu edgy. switching to ubuntu <--- ?
[06:46] <shoumik> anyone know?
[06:46] <lotusleaf> meisam: locate filename
[06:46] <reklipz_> hey guys, ive got a 1.4GHz Centrino and 128MB PC2700 DDRRAM equipped laptop currently running ubuntu edgy. I'm wondering if I'll notice any speed increase by switching to xubuntu, any ideas?
[06:46] <arrenlex> meisam: It's in ~/.bashrc
[06:46] <Quintin> Tonren: that's the idea, yea.  I use it at the bottom of all my resolution files
[06:46] <cellfish> ok the wmv codec is simply missing
[06:46] <reklipz_> xubuntu, my bad =(
[06:46] <ChaosEddie> reklipz_: what do you mean?
[06:46] <arrenlex> reklipz_: Oh, that's different. xD
[06:46] <cellfish> lemme install vlc and see if it works after that
[06:46] <Quintin> Tonren: yes, if I didn't say that before
[06:46] <ChaosEddie> ohhh
[06:46] <arrenlex> cellfish: That would do it.
[06:46] <ChaosEddie> sorry i missed the full question
[06:46] <Tonren> Quintin: Great - thanks!
[06:46] <arrenlex> cellfish: vlc?! What does that have to do with mplayer?
[06:46] <arrenlex> cellfish: No, install w32codecs
[06:46] <fieryprophet> relipz: I'm guessing you mean switching to ubuntu edgy, in which case I don't think you'd see more than an incremental change
[06:46] <lotusleaf> reklipz_: yes and also have a look at blackbox fluxbox openbox
[06:46] <cellfish> it installs the missing library as far as i know
[06:47] <reklipz_> xubuntu, my bad =(
[06:47] <arrenlex> cellfish: Install w32codecs.
[06:47] <cellfish> hrmm alright
[06:47] <reklipz_> ORIGINAL QUESTION: hey guys, ive got a 1.4GHz Centrino and 128MB PC2700 DDRRAM equipped laptop currently running ubuntu edgy. I'm wondering if I'll notice any speed increase by switching to xubuntu, any ideas?
[06:47] <sm0k3d> hey guys, im new to linux and my friend told me that ubuntu would be the best for making a server
[06:47] <lotusleaf> reklipz_: #xubuntu
[06:47] <Quintin> reklipz_: Yes, you will.
[06:47] <reklipz_> lotusleaf, so ditch the xubuntu alltogether?
[06:47] <Quintin> sm0k3d: He lied to you.
[06:47] <meisam> lotusleaf the terminal does not do anything
[06:47] <fieryprophet> sm0k3d: Look for the Ubuntu server edition
[06:47] <ChaosEddie> yea i got the question, give me a sec
[06:47] <Quintin> sm0k3d: lies.
[06:47] <sm0k3d> yea i downloaded that
[06:47] <meisam> lotusleaf what can i do?
[06:47] <Quintin> sm0k3d: FreeBSD or Debian.
[06:47] <lotusleaf> reklipz_: try xubuntu and compare it to window managers like fluxbox and openbox
[06:48] <tabman> Quintin: i just want firefox update not for the whole system
[06:48] <reklipz_> everyone: thanks! I'll try xubuntu and get back on irc when its done
[06:48] <lotusleaf> meisam: did you type anything at the command prompt?
[06:48] <Quintin> tabman: apt-get install firefox
[06:48] <Tonren> Quintin: Thanks for all your help.  I think everything's working now

[06:48] <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)
[06:48] <Quintin> Tonren: You're welcome.  Glad to help.
[06:48] <Munchkinguy> lotusleaf: It's strange, but I find that Kubuntu runs on my old computer *faster* than Xubuntu
[06:48] <Tonren> Quintin: If I pore over man interfaces, will I figure out why I needed the network declaration, or should I look somewhere else to figure out why?
[06:48] <arrenlex> reklipz_: You could just use aptitude to install xubuntu-desktop, and log into it and see if it runs faster, and then use aptitude remove xubuntu-desktop to get rid of it all when you're done having fun
[06:48] <sm0k3d> hey but im pretty new to linux, are FreeBSD or Debian easy to work with for new users?
[06:49] <ChaosEddie> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6191/
[06:49] <arrenlex> sm0k3d: No.
[06:49] <Tonren> sm0k3d: Ubuntu is a debian derivative, and it is easy to work with
[06:49] <ChaosEddie> im going to say yes
[06:49] <meisam> lotusleaf no i just wanted to set up the path for java in bashrc file
[06:49] <lotusleaf> Munchkinguy: cool, I recommend Kubuntu to everyone but if they're looking for other things to try I recommend they try and compare ;)
[06:49] <Quintin> Tonren: It should be mentioned in there.  I can't tell you for sure, since it's been awhile.. I just remember this from setting it up long ago.  The interfaces manpage is pretty in depth though I think.
[06:49] <cellfish> arrenlex: when i try to install w32codecs, it tells me that 'no candidate version found for w32codecs'
[06:49] <lotusleaf> meisam: vim .bashrc
[06:49] <reklipz_> arrenlex, that will work?
[06:49] <meisam> after that the terminal is not accepting anything

[06:50] <sm0k3d> ok, i downloaded the server install, but it says that there is no graphics user interface, is it hard to install one? and where can i get it?
[06:50] <Tonren> Quintin: Cool.  THanks again
[06:50] <theherbalizer> hwy guys, how can i format a usb thumb drive so that it will show up in windows? it's a gig drive and only coming up as 219mb right now
[06:50] <imsocute> hi can anyone help me out with installing my ati driver??
[06:50] <lotusleaf> !windows > theherbalizer
[06:50] <Tonren> theherbalizer: Are you talking about, as Ext3 filesystem?
[06:50] <Madpilot> sm0k3d, if you want a webserver, installing a GUI is not recommended. If you want a desktop machine, that's different
[06:50] <Tonren> theherbalizer: If so, you can use "ext3fs" for windows
[06:50] <Quintin> sm0k3d: I don't know what your level of skill is.  It's trivial for me, but I do this stuff every day.  If you're afraid of the command line, you might have troubles.
[06:51] <fr500> i installed 2 new sata drivers on a n existing desktop
[06:51] <fr500> is it possible to partition them using LVM (the other disk is not like that) and move my home there?
[06:51] <arrenlex> reklipz_: No, you can install them at the same time.
[06:51] <theherbalizer> Tonren: as in it can be read by a windows xp machine?
[06:51] <meisam> lotusleaf its not working
[06:51] <Quintin> theherbalizer: fat32 or ext3.
[06:51] <Tonren> theherbalizer: Yes.
[06:51] <meisam> lotusleaf does not accept
[06:51] <reklipz_> arrenlex, thanks, will give it a whirk
[06:51] <reklipz_> err, whirl

[06:51] <ubotu> imsocute: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:51] <Quintin> fr500: yes
[06:51] <meisam> lotusleaf command not found
[06:51] <Quintin> I'm going to bed, it's almost 1 am.
[06:51] <sm0k3d> well i am sorta afraid of the command line, is there any way i can install a GUI?
[06:51] <fr500> Quintin, what tool can i use to partition?
[06:52] <Quintin> sm0k3d: 'apt-get install ubuntu-desktop'
[06:52] <imsocute> im following this sitehttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Radeon_9200/9250_%28RV280%29_and_DVI and i don't know if im doing it right
[06:52] <lotusleaf> meisam: use gedit also see #bash
[06:52] <patrialt> Just joined, but i use Gparted
[06:52] <Madpilot> sm0k3d, easiest way is just to re-install with one of the desktop ISOs
[06:52] <Quintin> fr500: From linux?  gparted would be GUI program.  I would use cfdisk and mkfs command line programs
[06:52] <fr500> ok
[06:52] <fr500> thanks a lot
[06:52] <imsocute> when i entered sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-driver-ati it says Unable to find a source package for xserver-xorg-driver-ati
[06:52] <meisam> lotusleaf it does not accept gedit also, let me find .bashrc first
[06:53] <lotusleaf> meisam: what doesn't accept it
[06:53] <boredandblogging> ok, I just installed beryl with my radeon 9250, never set up anything special with my drivers and it looks very cool
[06:53] <patrialt> can somebody tell me how to install a new Splash Screen?
[06:53] <DLB|Maximus> hello
[06:53] <meisam> lotusleaf it does not accept anythin like commands
[06:53] <lotusleaf> meisam: try the #bash channel
[06:53] <sm0k3d> ok guys thanks for your help, im gonna try the command line and see how i do =)
[06:53] <sm0k3d> later

[06:54] <imsocute> boredandblogging, what ubuntu are you using?
[06:54] <Taime1> that was serriously wierd
[06:54] <boredandblogging> imsocute, edgy
[06:54] <imsocute> arrenlex, where can i find xserver-xorg-video-ati??im sorry im new to this
[06:54] <imsocute> boredandblogging, 6.10?
[06:55] <boredandblogging> imsocute, yeah
[06:55] <Taime1> i actually just want to install the backsplash graphic
[06:55] <Taime1> anyone know how to do this?
[06:55] <imsocute> boredandblogging, crap i can't get it to work...i have 9250 radeon too
[06:56] <arrenlex> imsocute: In your command, instead of using "xserver-xorg-driver-ati", use "xserver-xorg-video-ati".
[06:56] <boredandblogging> imsocute, let me see if I have any drivers installed
[06:56] <arrenlex> imsocute: Also, if you're new, why are you trying to build source packages?
[06:56] <justin4thirty> Do you guys support Feisty in here yet?

[06:56] <zcat[1] > hi
[06:57] <arrenlex> imsocute: And it doesn't currently?
[06:57] <justin4thirty> Was that a yes or a no?
[06:57] <boredandblogging> imsocute, I do have the ati drivers installed, not sure if its being used though
[06:57] <tabman> why is it that everyone has suddenly started shifting to beryl just as Vista has released ? are we in a competition here ?
[06:57] <fieryprophet> i could really use some help with the following error code: "Unknown interrupt or fault at EIP 000000060" scrolling on my screen when I boot Ubuntu

[06:59] <coffee-mug> hmm
[06:59] <coffee-mug> my machine just froze
[06:59] <coffee-mug> and I had to reboot
[06:59] <coffee-mug> what can I do to try to diagnose it?
[06:59] <fieryprophet> *waits for someone to even attempt to help*
[06:59] <imsocute> arrenlex, ummm do i have to do the one on the site or just follow with the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BerylOnEdgy
[07:00] <boredandblogging> well, I got it running with the one ubuntu.com, so....
[07:00] <arrenlex> imsocute: I don't know. I would follow the ubuntu instructions.
[07:00] <patrialt> Taime1 http://www.linuxextremist.com/?p=54 instuctions on how to change your splash screen
[07:00] <boredandblogging> fieryprophet, did you check the forums, there is a thread about it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=294712
[07:00] <Taime1> thanx!!!
[07:01] <patrialt> anytime.
[07:01] <tabman> boredandblogging: no i'm not asking you I'm asking in general I saw beryl related question yesterday as well, its like all the OS community now realizing after vista that they want 3d interfaces
[07:01] <fieryprophet> boredandblogging: yes, but the acpi=off and noapic additions to GRUB only resulting in the same error
[07:01] <Gerry_W> tabman: I heard about beryl first. It really looks better than vista
[07:01] <Gerry_W> in my opinion
[07:02] <imsocute> arrenlex, let me try...
[07:02] <Gerry_W> or saw beryl, rather
[07:02] <fieryprophet> tabman: I would barely consider Vista as having a 3D interface on any kind of level as beryl. It's more like a gussied-up OS X
[07:02] <bleanna_unux> im getting error 18 on @ the grub menu. ideas?
[07:02] <boredandblogging> fieryprophet, doing a google search, I see quite a few references to it? doesn't seem like its uncommon, never seen it myself though
[07:03] <imsocute> arrenlex, yey it's downloading...so i just have to change driver to video instead?
[07:03] <boredandblogging> tabman, competition is natural...everyone wants the coolest toys!
[07:03] <fieryprophet> boredandblogging: I've noticed the same thing, but there doesn't seem to be any real acknowledged fix that I can find. In fact, it supposedly relates to pre-Pentium Pro chips not support PEA, but the machine I'm using is a Celeron D. . .and by all accounts does support PEA
[07:04] <tabman> ubuntu says "firefox is already the newest version" and I just installed Ubuntu yesterday & its not the newest version
[07:04] <Madpilot> tabman, which version did you install?
[07:05] <fieryprophet> boredandblogging: I've installed Ubuntu in all 3 versions on 6 of my own machines, this is the first complete failure to load I've ran into
[07:05] <imsocute> arrenlex, where can i see the created directory...i just finished the downloading it and i have to edit line to some files
[07:05] <boredandblogging> fieryprophet, are the others running the Celeron D too?
[07:05] <fieryprophet> I've also used Mandriva, Fedora, openSUSE, and Yellow Dog, so I'm fairly experienced, but this has me scratching my head
[07:06] <fieryprophet> One other is running Celeron D, yes, though a slightly older chip
[07:06] <arrenlex> imsocute: What did you just install?
[07:06] <boredandblogging> fieryprophet, don't know what you tell you man
[07:07] <fieryprophet> I initially attempted to use openSUSE on this machine, and it loaded and installed fine, but then would never actually boot once installed
[07:07] <fieryprophet> very strange, I know
[07:07] <fieryprophet> I'd hate to know that Windows XP can run on a system and not Ubuntu :)
[07:08] <arrenlex> fieryprophet: wth? You expect your operating systems not only to install, but to boot, as well! Jeez, man. Lay off, stop being so picky.
[07:08] <andou> How can I setup ubuntu so I can control my desktop with my laptop (macbook)?
[07:08] <fieryprophet> arrenlex: lol

[07:08] <arrenlex> imsocute: Where in the guide are you stick?
[07:08] <arrenlex> stuck?
[07:09] <andou> Anyone know a good guide for controlling desktop running ubuntu with a macbook through a wireless router?
[07:09] <tabman> Madpilot: whatever comes default with ubuntu installation
[07:09] <fieryprophet> boredandblogging: thanks for looking up some help for me, I'll just surrender for now and regroup later
[07:09] <cellfish> alright .. can someone tell me how to remove 'movie player' in ubuntu?
[07:09] <Madpilot> tabman, sorry, I meant which version of Ubuntu
[07:09] <cellfish> i hate it and want it gone
[07:09] <cellfish> i thought it was totem but apparently it isn'rt
[07:09] <boredandblogging> fieryprophet, sorry couldn't help you out
[07:09] <Madpilot> cellfish, yes, it is totem
[07:09] <rylan> Sometimes my programs just dont open. can anyone help me?
[07:09] <fieryprophet> boredandblogging: no problem
[07:10] <cellfish> madpilot: well, after i remove totem it's still there for whatever reason

[07:11] <SpacePuppy> rylan: you could try running the program from the command line and see if standard out gives you some info.\
[07:11] <Madpilot> tabman, Ubuntu does not update programs after a release. Upgrade to 6.10 (Edgy) if you want a newer version of FF
[07:11] <rylan> ok, whats the command to run from terminal?
[07:11] <imsocute> arrenlex, well i don't know what to delete...im using gedit with radeon_bios.c

[07:12] <meisam> how can i unistall jdk ? thxx
[07:12] <SpacePuppy> rylan: which program doesn't run for you?
[07:12] <tabman> Madpilot: you are trying to tell me that to get firefox update I need to upgrade the whole damn OS ?
[07:12] <rylan> SpacePuppy, Last.fm
[07:12] <Madpilot> tabman, that's the easiest way, yeah. And mind the language, thanks.
[07:12] <SpacePuppy> what is last.fm?
[07:12] <rylan> SpacePuppy, and amarok
[07:13] <arrenlex> imsocute: ...I don't think you should be there. o__O
[07:13] <SpacePuppy> rylan: are you trying to use amarok to stream ??
[07:13] <rylan> SpacePuppy, it says "floating point exception (core dumped)
[07:13] <rylan> SpacePuppy, no just listen to music. last.fm i use to stream. and neither are working
[07:14] <welkiner> how to install flash in herd4 64?
[07:14] <SpacePuppy> rylan: there ya go then.. type sudo dmesg and see if there's a clue there as well.
[07:15] <rylan> SpacePuppy, oh christ thats a lot of text. what am i looking for
[07:15] <SpacePuppy> rylan: stuff relating to the programs you are having problems with.
[07:16] <welkiner> Is this the best chatroom for help with herd4, or is there a better place
[07:16] <SpacePuppy> rylan: have you tried uninstalling the progs and re-installing?
[07:16] <Madpilot> welkiner, #ubuntu+1
[07:16] <welkiner> Madpilot; thanks
[07:16] <rylan> SpacePuppy, several times
[07:16] <imsocute> arrenlex, cause line 574 is just /* and line 561 is n = RADEON_BIOS8(tmp + 5) + 1;
[07:17] <meisam> sorry guys i have installed jdk 1.5.0_11 on my desktop how cn i unistall it?
[07:18] <rylan> SpacePuppy, all that list was talking about was hardware.
[07:18] <rylan> SpacePuppy, nothing about lastfm or amarok
[07:19] <andou> Anyone know a good guide for controlling desktop running ubuntu with a macbook through a wireless router?
[07:19] <meisam> is there any speciall channel for jdk?
[07:19] <zcat[1] > !vnc
[07:19] <ubotu> VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX
[07:19] <SpacePuppy> rylan: take a look /var/log/ in the various log files and see if you can find something ther as well.
[07:19] <andou> zcat[1] : Thanks :)
[07:20] <rylan> ok
[07:20] <Madpilot> meisam, I'm pretty sure there's a #java
[07:20] <Madpilot> meisam, ##java, actually
[07:21] <zcat[1] > andou: basically you just want to pick System > Preferences > Remote Desktop on the desktop to share it, then Internet > Terminal Server Client on the lappy to access it... You'll need to know the IP address of the desktop machine.
[07:22] <zcat[1] > andou: and make sure port 5900 isn't open to the outside world (If you're using NAT it probably won't be..)
[07:23] <ardchoille> How do I see which ports are open?
[07:23] <Quintin> ardchoille: netstat
[07:23] <rylan> SpacePuppy, i dont see anything related to last.fm or amarok

[07:25] <ardchoille> Quintin: ta :)
[07:25] <communist_pope> ChaosEddie: thats what everyone says
[07:26] <Quintin> ardchoille: okie
[07:26] <meisam> Madpilot do u know how to unistall jdk
[07:26] <meisam> ?
[07:26] <communist_pope> What are some must install apps for a fresh install of ubuntu on a 10
[07:26] <communist_pope> GB
[07:26] <Madpilot> meisam, some channels might restrict entry to ppl who're registered & identified - you're neither.
[07:26] <nf4> what is the differance between the feisty-dvd-i386.iso and the feisty-desktop-i386.iso
[07:26] <communist_pope> drive, sorry for the multiple lines
[07:26] <Madpilot> communist_pope, Inkscape
[07:26] <rylan> SpacePuppy, any ideas?
[07:26] <communist_pope> Madpilot: what does it do?
[07:26] <ardchoille> nf4: The dvd has more packages from the repos
[07:27] <Toma-> nf4: -dvd- will have some of multiverse/universe on it i think
[07:27] <Munchkinguy> 'nighy
[07:27] <Madpilot> communist_pope, vector drawing program. very cool.
[07:27] <Madpilot> ubotu, java | meisam
[07:27] <ubotu> meisam: 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
[07:28] <communist_pope> Hi everyone
[07:28] <pmr_123> Anyone know if the 2.6.20 kernel has better support for the broadcom cards?
[07:28] <nf4> I seem to get some error if i try to upgrade do to openoffice  and i cant seem to uninstall openoffice as it seems broken i try to use the fix option with no luck
[07:28] <SpacePuppy> rylan: well.. it could just be 1)the build of amarok is not complatable with your box, you could build it yourself. 2) you have a hardware prob on your box causing the floating point error.. don't know how to diag that.
[07:28] <communist_pope> pmr_123: My broadcom is working
[07:29] <rylan> SpacePuppy, thanks.
[07:29] <pmr_123> communist_pope: What chip id you have?
[07:29] <SpacePuppy> pmr_123: my bcm43xx chip works too.
[07:29] <pmr_123> communist_pope: Any are you using the ndiswrapper or the driver?
[07:29] <SpacePuppy> !bcm43xx

[07:30] <rylan> !$@%@! my computer doesnt work.
[07:30] <ericab> can someone tell me how i can grant my user privileges so i can add and delete files to my 'filesystem' ?
[07:30] <robdeman> hey all.. where do my applications go when I minimize them??
[07:30] <rylan> bottom of the screen
[07:30] <ardchoille> ericab: use sudo ?
[07:30] <ardchoille> !sudo > ericab
[07:31] <shoumik> Hi, my trash symbol on the bottom right f my screen is not showing
[07:31] <communist_pope> pmr_123: I dont know, wired into the motherboard(dell)
[07:31] <ericab> ardchoille, i want to use the gui though, i know how to do it through terminal
[07:31] <Samus_Aran> can someone explain to me how to make Gnome/GTK+ apps stop complaining that they can't connect to the address of the message dbus ?
[07:31] <ardchoille> shoumik: right click the panel, choose add to panel, and add the trash back to the panel
[07:31] <bigfuzzyjesus> i am on ubuntu-server (via ssh) and i accidently set the chmod for /var/run/sudo/ to 777 and now i dont know how to change it back...
[07:31] <ardchoille> ericab: gksudo nautilus  <-- that will give you a root nautilus window, but be careful with it.
[07:31] <rylan> I NEED SOMEONE TO HELP ME, my computer has several stealthy problems. all i know is that i get a lot of programs that will work for a few days, then for no reason stop working.
[07:32] <ericab> im talking about granting privelages through SYSTEM -> ADMIN -> users and groups though
[07:32] <pmr_123> ericab: launch your file manager with sudo
[07:32] <bigfuzzyjesus> ardchoille, i am on ubuntu-server (via ssh) and i accidently set the chmod for /var/run/sudo/ to 777 and now i dont know how to change it back...
[07:32] <SirOSOriS> im a noob ericab
[07:33] <ardchoille> !gksudp > pmr_123
[07:33] <rylan> Anyone up for a challange?
[07:33] <Samus_Aran> bigfuzzyjesus: sudo chmod u=rwx,go= /var/run/sudo
[07:33] <ericab> ok..
[07:33] <ericab> im using gnome; so it would be naut..
[07:33] <SirOSOriS> ericab,  try logging in as root and changing the privildges the same way again
[07:33] <bigfuzzyjesus> Samus_Aran, but i cant use the sudo command...
[07:33] <rylan> im at the point where i might try sacrificing a goat to my computer and praying that it works properly
[07:33] <communist_pope> NAUT
[07:33] <Samus_Aran> bigfuzzyjesus: why not ?
[07:33] <ChaosEddie> ericab, open your terminal up
[07:33] <ericab> i did, but i guess im confused as to what GROUPS and users are
[07:34] <ChaosEddie> and then type sudo (whatever command) up
[07:34] <ardchoille> ericab: Never run a GUI app with sudo.
[07:34] <ChaosEddie> !group
[07:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about group - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:34] <bigfuzzyjesus> Samus_Aran, sudo: /var/run/sudo writable by non-owner (040777), should be mode 0700
[07:34] <robdeman> what is the Gnome euivalent to the Windows systray?
[07:34] <rylan> #%^# i just want my computer to work! /cries
[07:34] <ardchoille> SirOSOriS: Logging in as root user is not supported configuration and is not recommended. Please don't tell people to do that.
[07:35] <Samus_Aran> bigfuzzyjesus: that is an interesting paradox.  I guess you should reboot and put in your install Live CD and then mount your Ubuntu partition and change the permission there
[07:35] <ardchoille> robdeman: notification area applet
[07:35] <Samus_Aran> bigfuzzyjesus: once you boot up the Live CD, it will probably put icons for your hard drives on the desktop, so it should be point-and-click easy
[07:35] <Samus_Aran> bigfuzzyjesus: just make sure the permissions end up as rwx------
[07:35] <bigfuzzyjesus> Samus_Aran, it is a server install so there is no live cd and the pc is way to slow to run a live cd...
[07:36] <nf4> somtimes i log in as root when i need to move  a icon to usr/share/pixmaps
[07:36] <Samus_Aran> bigfuzzyjesus: it isn't too slow, just go into single user mode
[07:36] <robdeman> ardchoille: So I should add the notification area applet to the panel?
[07:36] <nf4> so far i havnt broke my system
[07:36] <Samus_Aran> bigfuzzyjesus: as in, no GUI
[07:36] <rylan> is there any way to repair my whole OS, Kernal and all, i think its pooched, stuff just randomly doesnt work and no one is helping me
[07:36] <ericab> 1 sec, im typing...
[07:36] <ardchoille> nf4: Not a good idea to have the root account enabled. You can do everything you need via sudo or gksudo.
[07:36] <corevette> how do i get permissions to write on my external hard drive?
[07:36] <Samus_Aran> bigfuzzyjesus: do you have any apps running as root already, such as synaptic ?
[07:36] <bigfuzzyjesus> Samus_Aran, server mode is cmd only
[07:36] <nf4> yes i disable it as soon as i am done
[07:36] <ardchoille> robdeman: If you don't already have that applet in a panel, yes.
[07:37] <bigfuzzyjesus> Samus_Aran, servermode has no gui you use sudo apt-get etc
[07:37] <ardchoille> nf4: Meanwhile, hope no one breaks in?
[07:37] <Samus_Aran> bigfuzzyjesus: and I'm saying you can always use the install CD, any install CD for any distro, as a rescue CD to edit/change/delete/chmod files as you need
[07:37] <robdeman> ardchoille: thanks that did the trick
[07:37] <Samus_Aran> bigfuzzyjesus: ah okay, sorry, I should have caught what you meant
[07:37] <ardchoille> robdeman: :)
[07:37] <communist_pope> ITS not playing my mp3 files
[07:38] <corevette> how do i get permissions to write on my external hard drive?
[07:38] <robdeman> thanks
[07:38] <nf4> Well its ok if i disable it after i am done i think isnt it
[07:38] <Samus_Aran> bigfuzzyjesus: anyhow, unless you've set up actual root logins, you'll need to reboot onto a rescue CD.  you could also try using GRUB to directly do the command, it might work that way
[07:38] <venatici__> I want leave the X.  How i do it?
[07:38] <venatici__> Anyone?
[07:39] <Samus_Aran> venatici__: Ctrl+Alt+F1 to go to TTY1, then Ctrl+Alt+F7 to go back
[07:39] <rylan> what does "Floating point exception (core dumped)
[07:39] <rylan> " mean? and how do i fix it?
[07:39] <ardchoille> nf4: I don't think it's ok to ever have the root account enabled in the first place. That is what sudo and gksudo are for. I have been running Ubuntu since Warty and have never enabled the root account.. it just isn't necessary.
[07:39] <venatici__> But i want do it on xterm ou console
[07:39] <Samus_Aran> rylan: it means the program crashed
[07:39] <venatici__> leave the x
[07:39] <rylan> Samus_Aran, ok, how do i fix it.
[07:40] <Samus_Aran> venatici__: if you want to completely turn off X window system, then /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[07:40] <venatici__> tanks
[07:40] <bigfuzzyjesus> Samus_Aran, ill try mounting with a lightweight distro like dsl or puplinux
[07:40] <bigfuzzyjesus> Samus_Aran, thanks for the idea
[07:41] <nf4> I am the sUx when it comes to command line though and  dont know how to move files  to where i need them sometimes oh well
[07:41] <fr500> i just installed nvidia-glx and now x won;t start
[07:41] <fr500> help!

[07:41] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:41] <Samus_Aran> bigfuzzyjesus: you may be able to use GRUB directly, as in set init to /bin/chmod blah blah /var/whatever/sudo
[07:41] <venatici__> And how i can change root password?
[07:41] <communist_pope> !restricted

[07:41] <corevette> /home/corevette/Azureus Downloads/earth is not a cold dead place
[07:41] <elyon225> !sudo | venatici__
[07:41] <ubotu> venatici__: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[07:41] <Samus_Aran> venatici__: on Ubuntu there is no root login account by default
[07:41] <corevette> how do i get permissions to write on my external hard drive?
[07:42] <ardchoille> corevette: Use sudo ?
[07:42] <Samus_Aran> venatici__: if you're sure that you want to have a root login, then you can add a password for root, but you should have a good reason for it
[07:42] <corevette> it says i can't write on it ardchoille
[07:42] <communist_pope> GO TO SYSTEM-ADMINISTRATION-users and groups
[07:42] <ericab> back...
[07:42] <venatici__> but i want use root... i can it?
[07:42] <corevette> write only ardchoille
[07:42] <ericab> ok
[07:42] <venatici__> can i it?
[07:43] <ardchoille> corevette: Type mount and see if it is mounted ro
[07:43] <ericab> ok so for example; i download a SKIN for XMMS, and i need to copy it to /usr/share/xmms/themes, but when i try to copy it a popup window shows  saying i cant copy a file OR delete a file
[07:43] <venatici__> use root
[07:43] <ChaosEddie> sudo passwd
[07:43] <ChaosEddie> that shold bring up 'change root password'
[07:43] <venatici__> only sudo passwd
[07:43] <ChaosEddie> im pretty sure thats it
[07:43] <Madpilot> venatici__, why? Just use sudo, like Ubuntu is designed for...
[07:43] <arrenlex> ericab: You could just use ~/.xmms/skins instead. Or whatever the folder is called.
[07:43] <ericab> but i want that ability by defualt on my user name so i dont have to be logged into root all the time
[07:43] <gradin> yey
[07:43] <rylan> &(*^&_^ who can help me fix a "Floating point exception (core dumped)

[07:45] <di> hi, how do i share files with a windoze computer?
[07:45] <communist_pope> rylan: because noone likes you....
[07:45] <Samus_Aran> venatici__: sudo -i will log you in as root
[07:45] <elyon225> rylan: Try being most specific with your question... and keep in mind, this isn't a programming support channel :)
[07:45] <di> over my wifi router?
[07:45] <rylan> communist_pope, i realized that.
[07:45] <communist_pope> rylan: im joking
[07:45] <rylan> elyon225, im just trying to get a few programs that used to work, working again
[07:45] <corevette> sorry...didn't have it plugged in archoille
[07:45] <elyon225> rylan: So... what programs?  What doesn't work now and what have you changed since the last time they worked?
[07:46] <stealer> what is code to install .gz file in terminal???
[07:46] <corevette> ardchoille: /dev/sde1 on /media/External HD type ntfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=077,iocharset=utf8)
[07:46] <ardchoille> corevette: Ah, it might be a good idea to plug the drive in forst ;)
[07:46] <elyon225> stealer: .gz files are archives... they cannot be installed.  You need to first extract them... then  take it from there.
[07:46] <ardchoille> corevette: ntfs? I can't help you.
[07:46] <elyon225> stealer: .gz is similar to the .zip from Windows.
[07:46] <communist_pope> di: setup folder sharing, and have your music in that folder, then go to my network places or equivelent and do that
[07:46] <stealer> oh ok
[07:47] <rylan> elyon225, lastfm, amorak. and a lot has changed, i just started using this system. had a shite load of problems with sound that i fixed, installed new videocard drivers, installed a couple of other programs and now they dont work. i have tried re-installing, no good
[07:47] <ardchoille> corevette: I don't feel that writing to ntfs from Linux is stable enough to be able to advise you how to do it.
[07:47] <di> communist_pope, thanks, ill try that
[07:48] <elyon225> rylan: Now, when you say they "don't work," what exactly do you mean?  What errors are they giving you?
[07:48] <stealer> after extraction of .gz file how to install ??
[07:48] <rylan> elyon225, Floating point exception (core dumped)
[07:48] <elyon225> stealer: That depends on what kind of archive you got.  DId you download a source package?
[07:48] <user_> hy
[07:48] <ardchoille> stealer: Go into the folder and read the README, INSTALL files
[07:48] <Samus_Aran> ardchoille: the most recent version from the http://www.linux-ntfs.org/ site is quite stable now
[07:48] <ericab> ok, i got that other thing somewhat fixed, but now can someone tell me how to be able to READ and WRITE to my external HDD, used via windows? its NTFS.... either way, it says i dont have privelages to copy,move or write anyting to it and it has an emblem with a picture of a LOCK on it... any ideas??
[07:48] <user_> i have few questions if anyone could talk to me
[07:48] <Samus_Aran> ardchoille: it has full write support
[07:49] <elyon225> !ask | user_
[07:49] <ubotu> user_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:49] <user_> i got this setup-ubuntu-full.exe
[07:49] <user_> what do i need to have for it to work
[07:49] <ardchoille> Samus_Aran: I won't help with Windows items.
[07:49] <user_> i have like a duron 1.3
[07:49] <elyon225> Huh?  Ubuntu has a windows version? lol
[07:49] <user_> 512 mb ram
[07:49] <Samus_Aran> ardchoille: it isn't a windows item, perhaps you should look at it
[07:49] <fr500> i just installed nvidia-glx and now x won't start help me please
[07:49] <Samus_Aran> ardchoille: it's just as much a "windows item" as the vfat kernel module
[07:49] <ardchoille> Samus_Aran: Writing to ntfs isn't a windows item?
[07:49] <user_> !ask what do i need to install this setup-ubuntu-full.exe
[07:50] <elyon225> fr500: When it throws you to the console, what is the error message?
[07:50] <SirOSOriS> fr500,  join ubuntu-effects
[07:50] <Samus_Aran> ardchoille: it's just as much a "windows item" as the vfat kernel module
[07:50] <corevette> what is different from feisty fawn (as of right now) and edgy?
[07:50] <stealer> For the absolute impatient:
[07:50] <stealer> ./configure
[07:50] <stealer> make
[07:50] <stealer> (drink coffee)
[07:50] <stealer> make install
[07:50] <stealer> And you're done! this is written in readme file
[07:50] <ardchoille> stealer: Have yo installed build-essential?
[07:50] <user_> anyone care to help?
[07:50] <stealer> nops
[07:50] <stealer> where to install dat?
[07:51] <elyon225> stealer: Did you follow those instructions (and just so you know, it's pretty much frowned upon to post multiple lines of text at once)
[07:51] <user_> i have this setup-ubuntu-full.exe  what do i need to have to install this?
[07:51] <fr500> elyon225, (EE) No devices detected.
[07:51] <fr500> Fatal server error:
[07:51] <fr500> no screens found
[07:51] <Samus_Aran> ardchoille: it is an open source module
[07:51] <communist_pope> WHAT IS THIS: Amarok currently cannot play MP3 files.
[07:51] <Samus_Aran> anyhow, going to watch a show with someone.  night all
[07:51] <elyon225> user_: .exe files can only be used on Windows-based systems... I have no clue why Ubuntu would have any kind of .exe file.
[07:51] <ardchoille> Samus_Aran: Please stop. I refuse to help with anything related to M$ products.
[07:51] <stealer> what is build-essential?
[07:51] <user_> that's a 610 mb file
[07:51] <corevette> what is different from feisty fawn (as of right now) and edgy?
[07:52] <user_> it should install ubuntu
[07:52] <ardchoille> stealer: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[07:52] <elyon225> communist_pope: Ubuntu does not install the needed codecs for MP3 files by default.
[07:52] <elyon225> user_: It won't.  Where did you get it?
[07:52] <user_> i mean it makes a dual boot  xp and ubuntu
[07:52] <user_> you chose ubuntu then a  linux loader will start
[07:52] <ericab> communist_pope; if you want a distro that has these things by default, is duggest looking into linux MINT
[07:52] <user_> and you should go into linux
[07:52] <elyon225> !restricted | communist_pope
[07:52] <ubotu> communist_pope: 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
[07:52] <user_> then it looks like you don;t know too much
[07:53] <rylan> elyon225, any ideas?
[07:53] <communist_pope> hold on
[07:53] <user_> the problem is i get a error
[07:53] <elyon225> user_: Uhm, you're the one trying to install Linux from within Windows...  you came here for help.  Don't bother insulting those willing to help ... you won't get very far.
[07:53] <user_> i didn't insult you
[07:53] <communist_pope> i did
[07:54] <user_> but maybe i will if you keep on with that attiude
[07:54] <fr500> elyon225, seems i need nv legacy
[07:54] <ericab> wow
[07:54] <ericab> user, calm down man
[07:54] <Madpilot> gradin, ping -
[07:54] <user_> i'm calm
[07:54] <nf4> if k9copy is a vamps gui is it better to use the vamps gui under gnome?
[07:54] <user_> elyon225
[07:54] <ericab> alright then, they are just trying to help
[07:54] <user_> have you tried to google setup-ubuntu-full.exe ?
[07:55] <elyon225> user_: Why would I?  I'm not the one having the problem.
[07:55] <ericab> why on earth would you try to install linux winthin windos though user_ ?
[07:55] <elyon225> user_: Installing Ubuntu works just perfectly setting up dual boot... I've never needed a Windows program to do it for me.
[07:55] <user_> yea but you should get informed before saying this is impossible
[07:56] <elyon225> user_: Well, you've been unsuccessful in your endeavor, have you not?
[07:56] <elyon225> lol
[07:56] <user_> ok
[07:56] <ericab> lol
[07:56] <user_> i'm just gonna ignore you
[07:56] <elyon225> user_: Likewise... oh, and welcome to Linux :)
[07:56] <user_> fy
[07:56] <Madpilot> elyon225, user_ - cool it, both of you.
[07:56] <ericab> ok, can someone give me a hint about my linux problem??
[07:56] <user_> anyone else knows about this file? setup-ubuntu-full.exe
[07:57] <elyon225> Man, I used to get frustrated and furious at Linux too... but I never insulted someone that tried to help.  Oh well :)
[07:57] <mackinac> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/install.exe/Prototype
[07:57] <communist_pope> user_: have you burned the iso file to a cd?
[07:57] <elyon225> ericab: I'm sorry, could you repeat the problem for me?
[07:57] <user_> exactly
[07:57] <rylan> elyon225, soooo, can you help me?
[07:57] <user_> no need to burn
[07:57] <elyon225> lol
[07:57] <user_> it's NO ISO
[07:57] <ericab> elyon225, thanks... ill pm u cause the main chat is too turbulent...
[07:57] <user_> it's more like a hdd install
[07:57] <user_> and i'm not a noob
[07:57] <Madpilot> user_, the install.exe thing is new, very experimental.
[07:57] <user_> i know some things in linux
[07:57] <elyon225> user_: Uhm, was this a torrent file that you downloaded?
[07:58] <user_> i know it's experimental
[07:58] <mackinac> exe installer >>> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/install.exe/Prototype
[07:58] <user_> i do the install it works
[07:58] <user_> then i boot
[07:58] <user_> choose ubuntu
[07:58] <hagabaka> when i compile microdc2 <http://corsair626.no-ip.org/microdc/> on Ubuntu and run it, its tab completion featuring using readline completes only local files instead of current command completions. but on Slackware it works fine. anyone know what could be the problem?
[07:58] <gortba_> Hi everyone. Does the ubuntu distro come with gcc/g++?
[07:58] <zcat[1] > user_: You've chosen a very difficult way to install Ubuntu. I know it's possible, but I have no idea how well it works yet and I suspect nobody in here has done it. You might want to try the regular install off the CD...
[07:58] <communist_pope> It doesnt work for me either
[07:58] <elyon225> gortba_: Yes,.
[07:58] <user_> then i get the bootmenu of ubuntu
[07:58] <user_> and have an error
[07:59] <gortba_> elyon225: Do I have to install it?
[07:59] <communist_pope> install as a dual boot
[07:59] <user_> i don't want to do it the regular way cause i have to make partitions
[07:59] <communist_pope> or, run from a live cd first to test it out
[07:59] <user_> it's more complicated
[07:59] <elyon225> gortba_: Not usually, no... it is installed by default.
[07:59] <user_> i had ubuntu installed
[07:59] <user_> get that into your head
[07:59] <ericab> elyon, i sent a pm..
[07:59] <elyon225> What could possibly be more complicated than using Windows to install Linux??
[07:59] <elyon225> ericab: I didn't get it, bud...
[08:00] <ericab> id ahve to agree
[08:00] <ericab> oh
[08:00] <ericab> ok ill send it here..
[08:00] <ericab> can someone tell me how to be able to READ and WRITE to my external HDD, used via windows? its NTFS.... either way, it says i dont have privelages to copy,move or write anyting to it and it has an emblem with a picture of a LOCK on it... any ideas??
[08:00] <Madpilot> ericab, you need to be registered & identified to PM on Freenode
[08:00] <gortba_> elyon225: Hmm...well I'm not real sure how to get it to compile a test program to make sure it's working. Is there a way to check if it's installed?
[08:00] <user_> anyways
[08:00] <hagabaka> why isn't there libreadline4-dev?
[08:00] <bthornton> Is it possible for one core of a dual-core CPU system (i.e. Pentium D) to "die", effectively yielding a uniprocessor system?
[08:00] <user_> thank you for your time and support
[08:00] <zcat[1] > user_, you're just going to have to figure it out yourself.. the windows .exe installer is very new and not a lot of people will be able to help you with it.
[08:01] <hagabaka> apt says libreadline4 replacces it, but it doesn't really contain header files
[08:01] <elyon225> gortba_: I'm not positive, but you could try running sudo apt-get install gcc
[08:01] <user_> i figured
[08:01] <gortba_> elyon225: I gave the command this: g++ HelloWorld.cpp -o HelloWorld
[08:01] <user_> maybe i should go to the forums
[08:01] <bthornton> 'cause I used to see two CPUs in /proc/cpuinfo in edgy and now I just see one... (and I haven't done a thing to the hardware)
[08:01] <pasha> hey guys.. trying to put ubuntu on a really old computer that does not have boot from cd in the bios... I did this before using some custom boot loaded on a floppy but can not recall what it was.. any suggestions?! :)
[08:01] <user_> and that's what i'll do
[08:01] <elyon225> user_: Then do it already.
[08:02] <Madpilot> user_, check the install.exe project pages, they might have set up an IRC channel of their own
[08:02] <elyon225> ericab: When you right-click on that folder, and choose Properties, who is listed as the owner under "Permissions"?
[08:02] <user_> that would be awesome
[08:02] <Hellevator> gortba_ if its not installed try "sudo apt-get install build-essential
[08:02] <user_> but i don't have the page
[08:02] <user_> google it :D
[08:02] <zcat[1] > pasha: easiest option (what I do) is pull the hard-drive out and put it in a machine that can boot from CD. works quite well.
[08:02] <rylan> im starting to get really frustrated here. ive been asking for help for a while now and no one seems to care.
[08:02] <elyon225> Madpilot: I don't think they HAVE a page... he downloaded a torrent.... without a description.
[08:02] <glyn> does anyone how to retireve the WEP password/WPA passkey?
[08:03] <mackinac> user_: what version of windows?
[08:03] <Madpilot> user_, mackinac gave you the URL: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/install.exe/Prototype
[08:03] <elyon225> rylan: It usually isn't that no one cares, but more that nobody really knows.
[08:03] <user_> xp sp2
[08:03] <pasha> zcat[1] : i have one right beside me... won't the screw with drivers though?
[08:03] <Hellevator> gortba_, to check what version you have you can type "gcc -v"
[08:03] <ericab> elyon225, it says "eric", BUT the permissions are READ only, and when i try to change it to READ/WRITE it says i cant... :/
[08:03] <elyon225> rylan: Trust me, when you ask a question, if someone knows, they will answer.
[08:03] <elyon225> ericab: What do you mean it says you "can't"?  What is the exact error?
[08:03] <glyn> does anyone know the WEP password/WPA passkey for my router?
[08:04] <gortba_> Hellevator this is what I get: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6193/
[08:04] <glyn> I need the network key, but I'm not sure how to find out what it is
[08:04] <elyon225> ericab: You could also try this:  sudo chmod ug+rwxX /folder
[08:04] <pasha> glyn: hold on let me get it from my little black book
[08:04] <gortba_> Hellevator: Do you know what it means?
[08:04] <rylan> elyon225, still. do you have any idea how to start solving my problem?
[08:04] <ericab> it says "the permission could not be changed" "because it is a read only disk"
[08:04] <zcat[1] > pasha, usually you have to reconfigure X, but everything else sorts itself out generally
[08:04] <glyn> alright pasha thanks
[08:04] <elyon225> ericab: Scratch that,...insert the -R like this:  sudo chmod -R ug+rwxX /folder
[08:04] <Hellevator> gortba_, close synaptic and then run the command again
[08:04] <gortba_> ahh..
[08:04] <Madpilot> ericab, if it's an NTFS HDD, it's going to be read-only anyway
[08:04] <elyon225> rylan: You were having problems with several programs not working now, right?
[08:04] <ericab> ohh.
[08:04] <rylan> elyon225, yeah.
[08:05] <pasha> zcat[1] : hmm.. i'll give that a shot I guess... X is not a prob, I'm not putting it on, it's just a little fax server
[08:05] <elyon225> Madpilot: For some reason, I've been able to read AND write to my NTFS partition just fine.
[08:05] <user_> i guess i need to have ntfs file system and not fat32?
[08:05] <ericab> so do i need to add anytjhing so i can add files to it ?
[08:05] <rylan> elyon225, i get a really vague error message when i run from terminal. i was hoping someone could point me in the right direction
[08:05] <user_> #
[08:05] <user_> Does not work with Windows 98.
[08:05] <user_>     *
[08:05] <user_>       We don't plan on supporting any pre-NT systems, because GRLDR needs NTLDR, which is present only in NT-based systems, and FAT32 has a 4GB file size limitation, which will severely restrict the size of the root disk image
[08:05] <user_> 3.
[08:05] <pasha> glyn: sorry lost that page somewhere..
[08:05] <pasha> shoulda spent more money on that notebook
[08:05] <elyon225> zcat[1] : Fun stuff, isn't it? :)
[08:05] <glyn> pasha:do you have any idea?
[08:05] <elyon225> zcat[1] : And much more than just eye candy.. a lot of great features that have saved me a lot of time.
[08:06] <gortba_> Hellevator: Thanks. I sudo apt-get install gcc. Do I need to get build-essential too?
[08:06] <pasha> glyn: hehe.. are you joking?! the point of your router's secret key.. is that it's SECRET
[08:06] <Madpilot> user_, please don't paste more than two lines into the channel. thanks
[08:06] <elyon225> rylan: Well, the best I can tell you is try to undo whatever you did before they quit working.
[08:06] <ericab> MadPilot, is there anyway i can have read/write access to it ??
[08:06] <fr500> !nvidia
[08:06] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:06] <Madpilot> ubotu, ntfs | ericab
[08:06] <ubotu> ericab: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[08:06] <rylan> elyon225, that would pretty much mean crippling my system. im not uninstalling my drivers
[08:07] <glyn> pasha:well my friend is here and wants to use my router but we need a WEP key
[08:07] <ericab> thank you
[08:07] <zcat[1] > elyon225, bloody frustrating, the last update made this machine totally lock up as soon as beryl started, and my other machine have all kinds of nasty problems which was messing up the FS, amongst other things.
[08:07] <pasha> glyn: if you can't get your pass phrase back you have to reset your router to factory defaults and reconfigure it
[08:07] <elyon225> rylan: Didn't you say you had just started using your system?
[08:07] <Hellevator> gortba_, depends. i usually just install build-essential because i'll wind up needing it eventually.  You'll need it if you ever install something from source, but if your just trying to compile your c program installing gcc should be enough.
[08:07] <elyon225> zcat[1] : You have ATI?
[08:07] <rylan> elyon225, yeah.
[08:07] <themc> https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/pdf/ubuntu/C/desktopguide.pdf - This will help a lot of the general questions
[08:07] <pasha> glyn: your best chance is if you're using some third party application that actually shows your key, then check the settings in that, otherwise you have to reset your router
[08:07] <elyon225> rylan: So, I'm confused then... you said all these programs used to work?  But you just started using them? :)
[08:07] <zcat[1] > elyon225, nvidia in both machines.. different cards.
[08:08] <ericab> thanks for the help everyone, i gtg!
[08:08] <gortba_> Hellevator: I'm trying to compile c++.
[08:08] <ericab> thx elyron225
[08:08] <canine_kouji> dog, this admin at layeredtech not only enables root via ssh, but enables anyone who knows the root password to su even though they're not in group wheel
[08:08] <zcat[1] > elyon225, found the answer on a message board.
[08:08] <elyon225> zcat[1] : Ah... I used the automatic install script for Beryl with my nvidia...it worked flawlessly the first time.
[08:08] <Gartral> hello,-i-broke-my-space-bar-function...howdo-i-reset-it?
[08:08] <communist_pope> glyn: It might be not locked, if you didnt set it up like that
[08:08] <elyon225> ericab: Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
[08:08] <canine_kouji> how can I make my server secure and turn off su for anyone not in group wheel?
[08:08] <rylan> elyon225, yeah i have had ubuntu for like a week now. i got drivers going, got sound going. everything was cool. now last.fm doesnt work and amorak doesnt work.
[08:09] <ericab> elyon225, its ok, madpilot sent me a link..
[08:09] <elyon225> rylan: When you installed amarok, did you install the kdebase package as well?
[08:09] <zcat[1] > elyon225, it used to work flawlessly until a little while ago, some update broke it.
[08:09] <ericab> i should have it fixed soon
[08:09] <ericab> bye
[08:09] <elyon225> ericab: Good luck, bro.
[08:09] <ericab> thx
[08:09] <glyn> how do I use a program that's made in perl?
[08:09] <rylan> elyon225, i installed it using add/remove applications. so i assume so
[08:09] <stealer> i have hp notebook wid cam inbuilt.....but i m not able to find app or driver to start cam.....F-photo manager not able to detect?? ny way to detect it
[08:10] <elyon225> rylan: Have you tried removing it completely and then reinstalling it?
[08:10] <communist_pope> glyn: you rape it
[08:10] <zcat[1] > glyn, same as any other; chmod +x foo.pl ; ./foo.pl
[08:10] <Gartral> hello,-i-broke-my-space-bar-function...howdo-i-reset-it?
[08:10] <rylan> elyon225, several times
[08:10] <Hellevator> gortba_, g++ is for compiling c++
[08:10] <fr500> !nvidia-legacy
[08:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nvidia-legacy - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:10] <themc> Gartral: Its not a broken key, is it?
[08:11] <canine_kouji> nevermind, found it
[08:11] <Hellevator> !build-essential
[08:11] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[08:11] <jtgans> Gartral: did you accidentally break the keymap for it via xmodmap?
[08:11] <Gartral> no,-i-was-trying-to-set-launch-term-to-F12
[08:11] <glyn> zcat[1] :okay, I chmoded it and now what?
[08:12] <gortba_> Hellevator: So should I sudo apt-get g++?
[08:12] <zcat[1] > glyn, usually just ./foo.sh will run it if it's in the current directory
[08:12] <Gartral> how-do-i-fix-it?
[08:12] <communist_pope> RAPE IT
[08:12] <communist_pope> NOW
[08:12] <zcat[1] > err foo.pl rather
[08:12] <Gartral> wtf?
[08:13] <communist_pope> yea
[08:13] <glyn> okay say the pl file is WE.pl what is the exact command to run it?
[08:13] <communist_pope> Gartral: Well, its not a fork
[08:13] <zcat[1] > glyn, ./WE.pl
[08:13] <Hellevator> gortba_, you probably already have it but you can type "sudo apt-get install g++" and it will install it if you don't have it
[08:13] <GenNMX> How do I get a USB KB detected?
[08:14] <glyn> zcat[1] :command not found
[08:14] <zcat[1] > glyn, typing ./ means to run from the current directory, otherwise it will try and find it in your PATH
[08:14] <fr500> GenNMX, most of the time just plug it
[08:14] <Gartral> ok,-im-a-linux-noob,-i-just-want-my-spacr-bar-working-again
[08:14] <communist_pope>  SLUTTY BOOTY IS DISTRACTING ME FROM MY GAME.
[08:14] <weijie902> Gartral: what happened?
[08:14] <gortba_> Hellevator: Thanks. I'm asking all this because I tryed to compile a program using the command g++ and it said no such command was found. I took your advice and installed build essential which solved my problem. Thanks a bunch. You guys are great!
[08:15] <Madpilot> communist_pope, cool it.
[08:15] <zcat[1] > glyn, head WE.pl, what's the first line of the file say?
[08:15] <Hellevator> gortba_, no problem :) its always great when we can help people
[08:15] <weijie902> who says linux people are elitist
[08:15] <weijie902> yeah
[08:16] <GenNMX> fr500: It's connected to a hub. The mouse is working, but not the KB.
[08:16] <nf4> ubuntu poeple are elitist and soon will take over the free worlds
[08:16] <gortba_> Hellevator: One last thing. If I have a executable, how do I make it so I can just type the name in the terminal and the program is executed?
[08:16] <rylan> OK i need someone to tell me how i can go about getting more information about a program crashing, if i just run the program, it says its starting. then it just dissipears. when i run from terminal it says Floating point exception (core dumped)
[08:16] <rylan> . is there a way i can fix this.
[08:16] <glyn> the script I'm trying to run is WeakIVGen.pl, how do I run it?
[08:16] <junmin> hello ,everyone
[08:16] <fr500> GenNMX, maybe the keyboard needs more power, try at the mobo directly
[08:16] <gortba_> Hellevator: That is without having to navigate to the folder
[08:17] <elyon225> rylan: Have you tried searching Google for that exact error message?  (Maybe also add the words 'linux' and 'ubuntu')?
[08:17] <zcat[1] > glyn, try "perl WeakIVGen.pl" perhaps?
[08:17] <GenNMX> fr500: It's a USB Share Switch, and Windows detects the KB and Mouse fine
[08:17] <valehru_> Does anyone here use kxmame?
[08:17] <fr500> GenNMX, weird
[08:18] <Gartral> weijie902:PM...
[08:18] <junmin> does anyone here use maya8?
[08:18] <GenNMX> fr500: Is there a way to force redetection, or get error messages?
[08:18] <communist_pope> easymac: NO SIR, I MUST HUMP MORE.
[08:18] <Hellevator> gortba_ you would have to add the directory the file is in to your path.  For now though I think it would just be easier to type ./filename to run it.
[08:19] <Hellevator> gortba_, or if its in a different directory you would type ./directorytofile/filename
[08:19] <glyn> Is there any way to just get the WEP password/passkey?  I own the router, so I should be able to get the infromation
[08:20] <mwe> or just directorytofile/filename
[08:20] <glyn> network key
[08:20] <Gartral> weijie902:i-was-trying-to-make-my-comp-launch-gnome-terminal-with-the-F12key....did-itand-now-no-space-key
[08:20] <communist_pope> NO SIR, I MUST HUMP MORE.
[08:20] <zcat[1] > !ops communist_pope is looking for the door...
[08:21] <zcat[1] > thanks .. :)
[08:21] <Gartral> yes,-thanks
[08:21] <glyn> consult the documentation for wireless router
[08:21] <zcat[1] > !botsnack
[08:21] <ubotu> Yum!
[08:22] <glyn> help
[08:22] <gortba_> Hellavator: Thanks! Catch ya later.
[08:22] <glyn> how do I get to my router's configuration site?
[08:22] <Gartral> how-do-i-fix-my-keyboard-binding?
[08:22] <zcat[1] > glyn, the WEP key will be in your router config.. how to get it depends totally on how your router works.
[08:23] <glyn> zcat[1] : i think I configured the router before, because I was enabling and disabling permissions and enabling port forwarding..is it that same page that has the conjtrols for the key?
[08:23] <rylan> is there a way to downgrade from edgy to dapper?
[08:23] <Gartral> iunbound-space,-now-i-cant-type-right
[08:23] <Hellevator> gortba_ ill be here if you have any more questions :)
[08:23] <zcat[1] > glyn, yeah, that's where I'd start. Dig around, it should be in there somewhere
[08:24] <glyn> zcat[1] :  How do I get to that page again?  I remember it's like an IP address or something but I forget how to get there
[08:24] <gortba_> Thanks Hellevatort
[08:25] <mwe> glyn: probably 192.168.0.1 or 10.0.0.1 or something like that. depends on setup/router
[08:25] <zcat[1] > glyn, is it the same box that provides your internet connection everywhere else?
[08:25] <Gartral> glyn:did-you-try-172.0.0.1?
[08:25] <glyn> zcat[1] :  I just use the DSL router here at home
[08:25] <glyn> let me try those addresses
[08:25] <mwe> glyn: it will be on the same subnet as your own IP
[08:25] <shapras> hello
[08:25] <Gartral> glyn:is-the-router-a-2wire-brand?
[08:26] <zcat[1] > glyn, usually it'll be 192.168.0.254 or 10.0.0.1. You have the manual for it, the default will be in htere?
[08:26] <glyn> it's a westell
[08:26] <glyn> I don't have a manual for it
[08:26] <mwe> glyn: But some routers requires a port as well like 10.0.0.1:2033 or some other port specific to the router
[08:27] <mwe> Gartral: is your space bar broken?
[08:27] <jtgans> Gartral: fixing your space bar issue will be complicated, but should solve the problem for the short term.
[08:27] <Gartral> yes
[08:27] <zcat[1] > glyn, is the config address still in your browser history?
[08:27] <mwe> Gartral: the key or the setup?
[08:27] <jtgans> I think you hit the same problem I did recently, where the Gnome key binding app binds keys it shouldn't.
[08:27] <t0dd> hey, I'm having trouble installing my wireless drivers.. would anybody be able to help me?
[08:27] <Gartral> the-bindings...
[08:27] <mwe> oh
[08:27] <shapras> I have little problem. I read in internet but nothing help. Hot to assing my user nick as root. What always my user have root access. O how in folder change owernship to ather user. Becouse is root user and I nothing can do.
[08:27] <Gartral> yes,-thats-my-prob
[08:28] <jtgans> In my case I was attempting to bind Control-Alt-\ to the Play/Pause key, and it wiped out my \ key.
[08:28] <DemisM> how do I upgrade from 6.06 to 6.10?
[08:28] <t0dd> I have an ipw3945
[08:28] <jtgans> The fix is that you have to manually rebind the key using xmodmap.
[08:28] <radioaktivstorm> hello, my panels just died,a situation ive never encountered before. how do i turn them back on?
[08:28] <jtgans> Gartral: since you need spaces to be able to do this, you'll have to open up the character map-like application and copy spaces when you need them from there.
[08:28] <zcat[1] > !sudo | shapras
[08:28] <ubotu> shapras: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[08:28] <mwe> jtgans: but that's hard if the space key is broken ;) He'd probably have to go to the console.
[08:29] <Gartral> and-how-the-heck-do-i-acomplish-this?
[08:29] <jtgans> mwe: hard, but not impossible. And he won't be able to fix it from the console, since it's an X server issue.
[08:29] <Frogzoo> radioaktivstorm: run gnome-panel from terminal
[08:29] <ciplogic> E: /var/cache/apt/archives/vmware-player-kernel-modules-2.6.20-8_2.6.20.2-8.6_i386.deb: subprocess new post-removal script returned error exit status 1

[08:29] <mwe> jtgans: eg ctrl-alt-f1
[08:29] <ciplogic> Always after install or uninstal I get the same errors
[08:30] <radioaktivstorm> Frogzoo thanks
[08:30] <jtgans> mwe: *nods*
[08:30] <t0dd> I have an ipw3945 and am having trouble installing the wireless drivers.. could anybody help me with this..?
[08:30] <jtgans> mwe: I don't think you can solve it from there.
[08:30] <jtgans> Though that might be my Google-centric line of thinking.
[08:30] <ciplogic> I've tried to uninstall the packages, the same error
[08:30] <mwe> jtgans: wouldn't you be able to edit ~/.Xmodmap from there?
[08:30] <glyn> Okay, I got into the router configuration, how do you find the WEP key?
[08:30] <ciplogic> none wants to be removed
[08:30] <Gartral> is-it-fixable-or-not?
[08:30] <mwe> Gartral: it is
[08:30] <shapras> ubotu: I know. But i want delete files in windows meniu, not in console. mounting disk (for example /dev/hdb6) have only root user access. Hot to change premission to my user?
[08:30] <Gartral> ok,-how?
[08:31] <mwe> Gartral: firt you need to run xev and press space to find the key code
[08:32] <J-_> anyone know if there's anything like guitar pro in the repos that has working sound/tab and is easy to install?
[08:32] <andres_> J-_, not as good

[08:32] <andres_> kguitar is the best but not as close
[08:32] <Frogzoo> !appdb | J-_ : maybe give wine a look
[08:32] <ubotu> J-_ : maybe give wine a look: Appdb is a database of apps & help for programs that run under wine: see http://appdb.winehq.org
[08:32] <shapras> cool boot ubotu :-D
[08:33] <J-_> Frogzoo: thanks
[08:33] <jtgans> Oh, hey, I forgot!
[08:33] <jtgans> We can do this straight from X, after all.
[08:33] <Steven_M> are there any minicom users here?
[08:33] <Gartral> k,how?
[08:33] <shapras> I need not bot help.
[08:33] <Quenyar> hello, anyone know why my USB Thumbnail drive isn't recognized?  How do I change its mind?
[08:33] <jtgans> Gartral: now open a gnome terminal and copy this exact line into it and press enter:
[08:33] <mwe> Gartral: ok keycode is 65
[08:33] <jtgans> echo keycode 65 = space |xmodmap -
[08:33] <shapras> I want delete files in windows meniu, not in console. mounting disk (for example /dev/hdb6) have only root user access. Hot to change premission to my user?
[08:34] <mwe> jtgans: no
[08:34] <Opus_Hollands> Would anyone here have any ideas for why my computer reboots just after the graphical install of ubuntu (6.06dapper drake) loads the initrd?
[08:34] <glyn> zcat[1] :I'm at the config site but how do I find the WEP key?
[08:34] <mwe> jtgans: oh yes. sorry
[08:34] <mwe> jtgans: for temp fix
[08:34] <jtgans> Yes.
[08:34] <jtgans> Then the long-term fix is to remove the keybinding from the list.
[08:34] <Gartral> thank you
[08:34] <Frogzoo> Opus_Hollands: probly cos it can't find the kernel or init image to boot
[08:34] <jtgans> Sure. =o)
[08:34] <QRZ> Steven_M: I've used it before.
[08:34] <jtgans> Make sure you remove that keybinding from the keylist.
[08:34] <mwe> jtgans: so where is that list?
[08:35] <Gartral> remove what?
[08:35] <mwe> jtgans: he needs to edit ~/.xmodmap, no?
[08:35] <DemisM> what are the 6.10 repositories?
[08:35] <jtgans> mwe: no.
[08:35] <Quenyar> have found some confusing USB mount "answers" but none of them made any sense
[08:35] <jtgans> mwe: the problem originated from Keyboard Shortcuts.
[08:35] <mwe> jtgans: oh
[08:35] <jtgans> Gartral: if you set the F12 key in Keyboard Shortcuts, you need to remove it in there.
[08:35] <Gartral> yes
[08:36] <Gartral> i dont want to
[08:36] <Opus_Hollands> I've tried using the graphical install, the grub for dos loader, and i downloaded instalux (but was lost)
[08:36] <jtgans> This is actually a common problem with that capplet.
[08:36] <jtgans> Gartral: Unfortunately, if you don't, you'll end up stuck again.
[08:36] <Gartral> its bound to launch terminal
[08:36] <mwe> jtgans: I asume it's already reported if it's common?
[08:36] <jtgans> Gartral: there is no short term fix for this kind of bug.
[08:36] <jtgans> mwe: possibly. I haven't checked.
[08:36] <Quenyar> when I insert the USB thumbnail drive in the USB port, it lights up, but I'm not getting any prompts, etc
[08:36] <shapras> hello. I need same help. I want delete files in windowsm, not in console. mounting disk (for example /dev/hdb6 or folder) have only root user access. Hot to change premission to my user?
[08:36] <jtgans> Last time I tried to report a bug to the GNOME people, it went unanswered for at least a year.
[08:37] <jtgans> I ended up having to patch it manually myself and close the bug myself.
[08:37] <Steven_M> QRZ: can it be used for telnet connections over broadband internet?
[08:37] <Madpilot> jtgans, Ubuntu tries to get to bugs a bit faster than that...
[08:37] <Frogzoo> shapras: running gui apps as root is bad practice
[08:37] <jtgans> Madpilot: True enough. =o)
[08:37] <Gartral> Quenyar: in terminal type mount sda1
[08:37] <Frogzoo> jtgans: so then, problem solved ;D
[08:38] <Quenyar> On my Fedora box, UBM thumbnail is just automatically reocgnized. But on the ubuntu box, it is totally unresponsive.
[08:38] <Madpilot> jtgans, there's always the ubuntu bugteam, if you want to help out on that front - #ubuntu-bugs, I believe ;)
[08:38] <jtgans> Well, we hope. =o)
[08:38] <smile> how risky is it to install ubuntu onto my laptop
[08:38] <shapras> Frogzoo: I want manage some ntfs files wiht my user. When I manege linux system files, then I do in consol.
[08:38] <smile> i cant find wether it is supported or not
[08:38] <jtgans> I don't feel like diving into the large chunk of code that is the Keyboard Shortcuts capplet, though. =op
[08:38] <Opus_Hollands> how do i see a list of sub channels?
[08:38] <gradin> Quenyar: try fdisk -l (L) it will list the phyisical drives attached to your box
[08:38] <QRZ> Steven_M: It is not a telnet client so, no, not by itself.  However, it can be used to establish a serial console connection to a host which could then allow you to use the telnet client on that host.
[08:38] <corevette> how come my internet doesn't work on feisty out of the box?
[08:38] <Frogzoo> smile: it's not - why would it be? of course, no guarantees - but realistically, ubuntu can't hurt your hardware
[08:39] <Frogzoo> corevette: feisty is beta - so deal
[08:39] <Frogzoo> corevette: submit a bug to launchpad if you like
[08:39] <gradin> then mount /dev/sda# where #= what ever the disk displays as to a directory you created
[08:39] <corevette> its not even beta frogzoo
[08:39] <jtgans> Sorry for the slight bit of cynicism on that front, guys.
[08:39] <jtgans> I've been bitten by that particular bug too many times, I guess. =op
[08:39] <QRZ> Steven_M: What are you trying to do?
[08:39] <Frogzoo> corevette: I think you want -> #ubuntu+1
[08:39] <Gartral> er, just dont try it if you have one of the new hp laptops... ubuntu dosnt like those too much
[08:40] <Steven_M> QRZ: telnet to an ansi style bbs
[08:40] <shapras> Frogzoo: ntfs file sis windows diks. A have a loot of media files. I want listen and delete music files. Manage music files. You whint that in conosle is good manage files music?
[08:41] <shapras> Frogzoo: whint=think
[08:41] <QRZ> Steven_M: Well, if the BBS supports telnet, why not just use the normal telnet client?
[08:41] <jtgans> Gartral: did you bind F12 to some other action before your space bar got screwed up?
[08:41] <Gartral> nope
[08:41] <Gartral> BUT
[08:41] <Gartral> i forgot i tryed to bind space to play/pause earlyer
[08:42] <CryptoMole> hi all
[08:42] <jtgans> Hehehe
[08:42] <jtgans> Yeah, that would do it. =o)
[08:42] <Gartral> yeah, thanks for the help
[08:42] <jtgans> Is space bound to anything in the Keyboard Shortcuts capplet still?
[08:42] <Gartral> sorry if i was on edge... i dont like waking up to a busted comp
[08:42] <Gartral> no
[08:43] <jtgans> Don't worry about it -- the feeling against that particular kind of bug is mutual. =o)
[08:43] <jtgans> Looks like you're golden for future sessions, then. =o)
[08:43] <Gartral> er, hate, kill destroy, mame, maul...
[08:43] <Quenyar> gartral - mount command results in "sudo: /etc/fstab: command not found"
[08:43] <Steven_M> QRZ: i can't get the terminal or konsole to display the ansi chars properly
[08:43] <shapras> hello. I need same help. I want delete files in windowsm, not in console. mounting disk (for example /dev/hdb6 or folder) have only root user access. For example I want manage music files in windows ntfs diks. How to change premission to my user?
[08:43] <Gartral> hmm
[08:44] <Quenyar> gradin fdisk -l results in nothing, just empty prompt
[08:44] <jtgans> Hmm... Is NTFS write support supported in Dapper?
[08:44] <Gartral> im at a loss...
[08:44] <fr5000> shapras, writing to ntfs disks is riskky
[08:44] <Gartral> yes
[08:45] <Gartral> just not generally common, or easy
[08:45] <QRZ> Steven_M: I'm sure there is a way to change the emulation and char set support for your terminal session... although not sure how atm.
[08:45] <jtgans> {HP,NT}FS support has never been easy. =o)
[08:45] <shapras> fr5000: I download all nfts library  and other componets for linux. Tha suport ntfs
[08:46] <Steven_M> ok
[08:47] <mwe> !ntfs
[08:47] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[08:47] <pavs> how to mount windows ntfs (seperate dahrdrive) under ubuntu so that I can view/copy files?
[08:47] <mwe> pavs ^^
[08:48] <pavs> LOL
[08:48] <Gartral> ntfs support on linux has always been a headach... v1 was easy, after that, microsucks decided to close all its source code...
[08:48] <pavs> i asked at the right time
[08:48] <DemisM> which is the main binary reposity for edgy?
[08:48] <Frogzoo> !ntfs | pavs | read only is pretty ok
[08:48] <ubotu> pavs | read only is pretty ok: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[08:49] <mwe> !ntfs-3g
[08:49] <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)
[08:49] <Quenyar> although I have an entry in fstab for /dev/sda when I try to found sda, I get the same meesage about no entry in etc/fstab or mtab
[08:50] <jtgans> Gartral: NTFSv1 was open?
[08:50] <Gartral> did you try other usb ports?
[08:50] <mwe> ntfs-3g should be safe enough. It doesn't allow you to change permissions of files, though.
[08:50] <Quenyar> I wonder if perhaps the USB does not work on this computer
[08:50] <Gartral> no, but it wasnt as tightly closed
[08:50] <jtgans> Ah.
[08:50] <pavs> thanks frogzoo
[08:50] <Mba7eth> hi all
[08:50] <Mba7eth> how is everybody ?
[08:51] <Frogzoo> Quenyar: usb will specifically not work if you give it an fstab entry - remove it, then reinsert the usb
[08:51] <Mba7eth> i have a Q ?
[08:51] <mwe> Mba7eth: shoot
[08:51] <Gartral> its the sole reason winblows 200 actually communicates with linux without TOO much trouble
[08:51] <Gartral> 2000*
[08:52] <ardchoille> I may install beryl just so I can use this, it's cool looking: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=53179
[08:52] <Mba7eth> can we recover deleted files with rm command , while using ext3fs ? A lot in the forum says no, while others say yes ?? So where is the truth ? can we recover files ?
[08:53] <mwe> Communicating via smbfs/cifs works fine for all windows versions I think. Except for the slowness
[08:53] <Quenyar> frogzoo, removed entry in fstab. unplugged thumbnail and reinserted it, what next?
[08:53] <jtgans> Mba7eth: no. Not reliably.
[08:53] <t0dd> my computer makes loud beeps whenever i cant find a word using ctrl+f.. how could i disable this in ubuntu?
[08:53] <Gartral> right, slow=bad
[08:53] <jtgans> The journal in ext3 prevents it.
[08:53] <Frogzoo> Mba7eth: deletes in ext3 are permanently gone for good, no recovery possible - ext2 is recoverable
[08:53] <t0dd> and loud beeps during other events too
[08:53] <mwe> Mba7eth: well it's complicated too I think
[08:53] <phatrabbit> hi all is there anyway to backup all the updated files that ubuntu downloads
[08:53] <Frogzoo> Quenyar: tail -f /var/log/messages - while inserting
[08:54] <mwe> Mba7eth: the file is still there if it's not been overwritten but the handle is gone
[08:54] <Gartral> hence the reason my root subset is ext3fs, while the rest ext2
[08:54] <Frogzoo> phatrabbit: /var/cache/apt/archives/
[08:54] <Mba7eth> jtgans : but there are many links you can get in google and alot of commercial programs!!! So are they just saling myths to us ?
[08:54] <opshds> Could I get some help here. I ran into a snag while installing ubuntu dapper drake on my celeron xp box, during the loading of just the initrd (The Kernel loads no problem) or perhaps even just after the load, my computer reboots to the video bios?
[08:54] <karthik> guys..help me!!...I want to share the Internet connection between my host(running on Ubuntu) and my client(running on xp)...how to do that?..i installed ethernet card on both the system....
[08:54] <opshds> ccould it have to do with my bios?
[08:54] <Mba7eth> mwe : give a link to recover ?
[08:55] <phatrabbit> thanks Frogzoo
[08:55] <t0dd> and how could I install the glut libraries in ubuntu?
[08:55] <Quenyar> frogzoo  usb 2-2: new full speed USB d evice using uhci_hcd and address 4
[08:55] <Gartral> whats the make?
[08:55] <mwe> Mba7eth: don't have one at hand, sorry
[08:55] <phatrabbit> so if i just burn that dir to CD i can reinstall them all if i do a clean install
[08:55] <Mba7eth> mwe : nop :)
[08:55] <mwe> I thought ext3 was just ext2 with a journal
[08:55] <Frogzoo> Quenyar: so ls /media
[08:55] <Quenyar> frogzoo how do I access content on drive?
[08:55] <Gartral> it is, and a few other revisions
[08:55] <jtgans> mwe: it is, but there are other subtle differences in how data is written to disk.
[08:56] <t0dd> nobody responds to my questions =\
[08:56] <mwe> I see
[08:56] <karthik> guys..help me!!...I want to share the Internet connection between my host(running on Ubuntu) and my client(running on xp)...how to do that?..i installed ethernet card on both the system....
[08:56] <karthik> help me pals
[08:56] <Gartral> todd, whats up?
[08:56] <Quenyar> frogzoo ls /media >>  cdrom  cdrom0  floppy  floppy0
[08:56] <t0dd> Do you know how I could install opengl/glut libraries in ubuntu?
[08:56] <jtgans> mwe: if you apt-get install recover and read the docs in /usr/share/doc/recover you'll be more enlightened as to the why than I can explain at the moment. =o)
[08:57] <Frogzoo> Quenyar: not sure why the usb's not there - a reboot may be necessary
[08:57] <mwe> jtgans: ok
[08:57] <phatrabbit> Frogzoo: whats the best burning tool to use with ubuntu
[08:57] <Frogzoo> phatrabbit: k3b - no question
[08:57] <Gartral> k3b rocks
[08:57] <phatrabbit> ta
[08:57] <Quenyar> frogzoo reboot ineffective, tried it already
[08:57] <t0dd> Gartral?
[08:58] <Frogzoo> Quenyar: you tried after you deleted the fstab line?
[08:58] <Frogzoo> Quenyar: this edgy?
[08:58] <meisam> hi guys, what should i be writting for putting java in path?
[08:58] <Frogzoo> meisam: not necessary, just install JRE from the repos
[08:58] <Quenyar> frogzoo this is 6.6 (dapper?)   yes, after I deleted fstab line
[08:59] <Madpilot> phatrabbit, depends what you're burning. Nautilus works fine for data & ISOs; serpentine is great for music.
[08:59] <Gartral> opengl/glut? no
[08:59] <meisam> Frogzoo its not like that friend, i did it , i installed jdk package which includes jre
[08:59] <meisam> Frogzoo it has to be defined
[08:59] <Gartral> !opengl
[08:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about opengl - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:59] <meisam> Frogzoo i mean path
[08:59] <Gartral> !glut
[08:59] <DemisM> what is the difference between 6.06 and 6.10 dapper and edgy also feisty now?
[08:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about glut - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:59] <meisam> Frogzoo i think in .bashrc
[08:59] <Gartral> feisty is beta
[08:59] <t0dd> okay, forget about that then
[09:00] <t0dd> could you help me install my wireless drivers?
[09:00] <t0dd> I have an ipw3945
[09:00] <t0dd> and the module is detected
[09:00] <Gartral> 6.06 is LTS (long term support) and 6.10 is current stable
[09:00] <t0dd> but it still isnt configured correctly?
[09:00] <Frogzoo> meisam: you want to set CLASSPATH then...?
[09:00] <Quenyar> frogzoo - maybe is goofy old crappy computer and not ubuntu's fault
[09:00] <meisam> Frogzoo yes
[09:00] <ChaosEddie> hey im getting a weird error where my desktop clock is right, but the times in firefox (gmail, etc.) are wrong. im on a live cd so i dont see why this would be a problem. any ideas?
[09:00] <Frogzoo> Quenyar: HAL on dapper isn't great, google may help
[09:01] <jtgans> ChaosEddie: You mean on GMail and GCal?
[09:01] <opshds> Could someone help me troubleshoot an install issue I'm having with 6.06?
[09:01] <Frogzoo> meisam: you can set it in ~/.gnomerc or /etc/environment
[09:01] <karthik> guys..help me!!...I want to share the Internet connection between my host(running on Ubuntu) and my client(running on xp)...how to do that?..i installed ethernet card on both the system....
[09:01] <mwe> jtgans: From what I read it seems recovering ext3 files is possible but hard ;)
[09:01] <Gartral> chaos, you running dapper or edgy?
[09:02] <jtgans> mwe: yes, it is possible.
[09:02] <jtgans> mwe: just /neigh/ impossible
[09:02] <jtgans> mwe: especially when running a disk-heavy environment like X + GNOME.
[09:02] <DemisM> are there mirrors to us.archive.ubuntu.com?
[09:02] <Quenyar> frogzoo - was intending to install xbuntu 6.10 on this box, but found CDROM didn't boot, got new CDrom drive and intending to install, but can't be bothered.  Maybe enogh things won't work to motivate me.  Thanks.
[09:02] <Madpilot> DemisM, us.archive is a mirror
[09:02] <jtgans> mwe: immediately after deleting the file, you would have to immediately switch to single user mode to ensure that the data was still intact.
[09:02] <DemisM> other mirrors
[09:03] <jtgans> mwe: otherwise, you're running a fruitless grep over the entire block device.
[09:03] <mwe> jtgans: yeah
[09:03] <karthik> guys..help me!!...I want to share the Internet connection between my host(running on Ubuntu) and my client(running on xp)...how to do that?..i installed ethernet card on both the system....
[09:03] <savvas> what more does the dvd version have?
[09:03] <DemisM> how do I edit sources.list through terminal?
[09:03] <karthik> guys..help me!!...I want to share the Internet connection between my host(running on Ubuntu) and my client(running on xp)...how to do that?..i installed ethernet card on both the system....
[09:03] <phatrabbit> Frogzoo: k3b looks like its for kde ?
[09:04] <savvas> phatrabbit: you can use k3b on gnome and kde
[09:04] <phatrabbit> its optimised for kde
[09:04] <phatrabbit> theres nothing that suits gnome betteR ?
[09:04] <savvas> DemisM: nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:04] <Quenyar> karthik - running DSL broadband connection?
[09:04] <karthik> ADSL broadband
[09:04] <savvas> phatrabbit: maybe gnomebaker, but k3b is better if you ask me
[09:04] <Frogzoo> phatrabbit: it will run under gnome, some poor souls use gnomebaker
[09:05] <jtgans> DemisM: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:05] <savvas> oh yeah, forgot the sudo :p
[09:05] <phatrabbit> ok thanks
[09:05] <jtgans> Otherwise you're only able to view the file, not edit it. =op
[09:05] <Quenyar> karthik, then get a hub/switch, plug that into ADSL modem, then plug your two computers into hub/switch.  Both will have equal access to the Internet.
[09:05] <DemisM> jtgans: isn't there a terminal app that gives you a list of mirrors though?
[09:05] <Madpilot> phatrabbit, when you stick a blank CD-R in, gnome should give you a popup that asks what you want to do with it - Burn Data, Burn Music - those tools work just fine
[09:06] <jtgans> DemisM: Hmm... I believe apt-setup will give you a list, but what is listed in the /etc/apt/sources.list file should be all you need already, unless it's been mucked with before.
[09:06] <savvas> DemisM: cat /etc/apt/sources.list | grep http ?:)
[09:06] <mwe> jtgans: I think I once read that's possible to even recover files that are overwritten if you have the tools/expertise as even deleted files leave a trace on the surface. But that's probably a job for the FBI or something ;)
[09:06] <DemisM> it's fine but the mirrors are too slow
[09:06] <jtgans> mwe: six layers deep of overwriting, yes.
[09:06] <bigfuzzyjesus> anyone here good for server support
[09:06] <jtgans> mwe: any more than that and the data is next to impossible to recover.
[09:06] <karthik> i m directly connecting the two computer directky using "crosswire cable"...
[09:07] <Quenyar> karthik - unless you want to firewall your LAN and have your local Ethernet behind that firewall.  In that case, you need to put two ethernet cards in your Linux server and do IP masquerading and firewall - much more to do
[09:07] <mwe> jtgans: I see
[09:07] <jtgans> mwe: NSA supposedly can do more than that, which is what degaussing wands are for. =o)
[09:07] <mwe> yeah
[09:07] <jtgans> Waahahah! That's the best logo ever. =o)
[09:07] <karthik> i m able to share the internet in windows when both the systems are running in windows
[09:08] <karthik> but how to do in ubuntu(server)...
[09:08] <karthik> i want the steps
[09:08] <Gartral> if your using any network card made after 2002.... it automaticly detect the connection type, you dont need a cross over patch
[09:08] <ChaosEddie> jtgans: gmail,chi ubuntu page etc
[09:09] <mwe> karthik: it's easy with firestarter
[09:09] <fluxd> hi I am trying to add a grub splash screen in the menu.list file should i put splashimage=(hd1,0) or splashimage=(hd0,0) ?
[09:09] <karthik> tell me how to do that with firestarter
[09:09] <mwe> karthik: install that and you will be sharing the net in no time
[09:09] <Quenyar> karthik - If you just want to share the Internet access - equal peers, then all you need is a hub or switch. This is simple hardware.
[09:09] <jtgans> Gartral: don't always count on that. Give it a try, but there are plenty of cards post 2002 that don't honor that nicety.
[09:09] <ChaosEddie> if you see the planet ubuntu page, you will see i JUST posted a blog (plug) but it says i posted at 4 56 am, 3 hours ahead
[09:10] <jtgans> I've run into a few brand new Intel 1Gb cards lately that don't quite cut the mustard in that area.
[09:11] <mwe> karthik: it also configures the firewall so make sure you check it's log if it's blocking something it shouldn't. If you don't want a firewall look for other methods. hint ip forwarding
[09:11] <fluxd> hi I am trying to add a grub splash screen in the menu.list file should i put splashimage=(hd1,0) or splashimage=(hd0,0) ?
[09:11] <Ex0`> easiest way to remove a ata password from a hdd? (previously in an modded xbox hdd)
[09:12] <Quenyar> karthik - if you want to have your server on the Internet and connect one or many other computers behind that, then first you need two ethernet cards in your ubuntu server eth0 and eth1. eth0 connects to the Internet. You then configure IP masquerading and aliasing from eth1 to eth0 so that your windows boxes can send and receive packets through the server to the Internet.
[09:12] <Frogzoo> fluxd: neither work: splashimage (hd0,6)/boot/grub/blah.xpm.gz
[09:12] <karthik> mwe...tell me how to share the internet using firestarter
[09:12] <fluxd> Frogzoo What you mean?
[09:12] <Frogzoo> fluxd: splashimage wants the full path
[09:12] <jtgans> ChaosEddie: http://planet.ubuntu.com/?

[09:13] <karthik>  IP masquerading.......is it a software?????/
[09:13] <mindstate> when trying to compile a program i get a  "checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.0.0... no" and the same message for Glib 2.0.. anyone have any input on this
[09:13] <mwe> karthik: I don't remember exactly. I just remember it was really easy. Just click about a bit in the interface
[09:13] <karthik> ok mwe
[09:13] <fluxd> Frogzoo oh so ho do i find out the (hd0,6) part for my computer?
[09:13] <llama32> i had to help some stoned guy install windows xp today... turned out he was using office xp discs. i sent him home with ubuntu :)
[09:13] <karthik> IP masquerading.......is it a software?????/....
[09:13] <DarthLappy> mindstate: Have you installed the -dev package for GTK?
[09:13] <mwe> karthik: or maybe read the help
[09:13] <HaCk-NaSa> ciao a tutti
[09:14] <HaCk-NaSa> goodmorning
[09:14] <mindstate> DarthLappy: No
[09:14] <DarthLappy> mindstate: That's probably why.
[09:14] <HaCk-NaSa> in this room speak italian
[09:14] <mindstate> DarthLappy: how do i install from apt-get ?
[09:14] <Quenyar> karthik - will leave you in mwe's experiened hands....  I'm used to doing it the old fashioned, manual way. If firestarter will just configure this all automagically, then that's going to be simpler to implement (but harder to customize).  Good luck!
[09:14] <Frogzoo> fluxd: -> /boot/grub/device.map
[09:14] <Gartral> sudo apt-get install (package name)
[09:15] <SirOSOriS> DarthLappy, sudo apt-get packageyouwant
[09:15] <ChaosEddie> it should read 1:54 AM because thats when I posted it. the group is in CT im assuming. right now it says 747AM, which changed from 4 56 am the last time i checked it. so in 5 minutes, the time changed, delta of +2 hours
[09:15] <DarthLappy> mindstate: sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev, I think.
[09:15] <youkilldkennedy> Has anyone had trouble with their laptop speakers still playing sound even when headphones are plugged in?
[09:15] <DarthLappy> SirOSOriS: I don't need to know :)
[09:15] <fluxd> Frogzoo I see this (hd0)	/dev/hda
[09:15] <cypher1> youkilldkennedy, what is the nature of your headphones ?
[09:15] <HaCk-NaSa> i'm italian
[09:15] <karthik> Quenyar.....tell me how to configure IP masquerading.....steps in details
[09:15] <mindstate> DarthLappy: thanks dude
[09:15] <karthik> Quenyar.....tell me how to configure IP masquerading.....steps in details
[09:16] <youkilldkennedy> Just headphones with a mini-plug. Like for a CD player
[09:16] <mwe> karthik: don't repeat, please
[09:16] <DarthLappy> mindstate: Not a problem.
[09:16] <Gartral> hiding from hacker karthic?
[09:16] <HaCk-NaSa> chi sa usare aircrak
[09:16] <Frogzoo> fluxd: which partition is the image on?
[09:16] <HaCk-NaSa> chi mi aiuta?
[09:16] <static__> i'm setting up ubuntu server, with bind, if I need to setup multiple domains point to the same IP address, what's the best way to go about doing this, I already have one domain working but can't seem to get a second with the same ip...?
[09:16] <BHSPitLappy> youkilldkennedy, are you sure the plug isn't too small?
[09:16] <mwe> karthik: why do you want IP masquerading?
[09:16] <BHSPitLappy> Like a cell phone connector?
[09:16] <mwe> karthik: you need IP forwarding I think
[09:17] <youkilldkennedy> Positive. Sound plays through the headphones.
[09:17] <karthik> Quenyar said like that
[09:17] <karthik> thats y i am asking
[09:17] <jtgans> ChaosEddie: Sorry about the long response time -- my browser is being rather slow at pulling those sites up.
[09:17] <mwe> karthik: You went away from the firestarter method?
[09:17] <HaCk-NaSa> nessuno parla italiano
[09:17] <fluxd> Frogzoo how do i figure that out?
[09:17] <HaCk-NaSa> ???
[09:17] <karthik> no..i m now installing firestarter
[09:17] <Flannel> !it | HaCk-NaSa
[09:17] <ubotu> HaCk-NaSa: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[09:17] <slvmchn> how reliable is ubuntu on a g4 laptop?
[09:18] <HaCk-NaSa> tanks
[09:18] <Frogzoo> static__: CNAMEs will do that, but they resolve to the alternate domain name which maybe isn't what you want
[09:18] <evilmegaman> Hi, if I install herd 4, will I have to reinstall the entire system to upgrade to 7.04 final?
[09:18] <Frogzoo> fluxd: mount
[09:18] <ChaosEddie> I emailed myself (just now) and gmail says my time is 8 18 am
[09:19] <mwe> karthik: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/preferences.php
[09:19] <Gartral> sounds like the time zone setting is screwy
[09:19] <jtgans> ChaosEddie: GMail doesn't set the outbound email's time, though. The mail servers do.
[09:19] <jtgans> ChaosEddie: My guess is that your timezone file is messed up.
[09:19] <Frogzoo> ChaosEddie: if you're using an ntp server in a different time zone, you'll have problems
[09:19] <jtgans> ChaosEddie: Could you tell me what "readlink /etc/timezone" says?
[09:19] <Gartral> right, but they collect timezone data from your system :)
[09:19] <fluxd> Frogzoo I have 4 partitions 1 ntfs 1 fat 1 ext3(ubuntu) and 1 swap ubuntu one is hda3
[09:19] <jtgans> ChaosEddie: ...and where you're supposed to be at in the world? =op
[09:19] <valehru_> hey guys, does anyone play mame here?  I'm having trouble getting the axis to work on my joypad.  The action buttons work fine (punch etc) but the movement axis does not seem to get recognised
[09:20] <ChaosEddie> where is that located? im running all of this off a live cd i swear
[09:20] <Frogzoo> fluxd: so (hd0,2)
[09:20] <jtgans> ChaosEddie: Heh. Sorry. From gnome-terminal type in "readlink /etc/timezone"
[09:20] <Gartral> well, right click the clock in the corner
[09:20] <fluxd> Frogzoo oh ok ty so i put this is in grub splashimage (hd0,2)/boot/grub/blah.xpm.gz ?
[09:21] <Gartral> adjust date and time
[09:21] <ChaosEddie> it's not returning anything
[09:21] <Gartral> click time zone and set
[09:21] <arnor> hello all
[09:21] <Frogzoo> fluxd: if that's where you put your splashimage
[09:22] <fluxd> Frogzoo yup ty verymuch
[09:22] <ChaosEddie> germs!
[09:22] <jtgans> ChaosEddie: Wow, I've been messing with old Debian installs too much -- I forgot that /etc/timezone isn't a symlink anymore.
[09:23] <Gartral> lol
[09:23] <jtgans> ChaosEddie: Right click on the clock in your panel and choose Adjust Date and Time
[09:23] <jtgans> And follow the rest of what Gartral said. =o)
[09:23] <jtgans> I'm going to go hide in the corner now. =op
[09:23] <static__> cname doesn't seem to do it if i'm entering it in correctly anyways, what I'm trying to do is make example1.com and example2.com goto the same ip address..

[09:24] <Flannel> mindstate, sorry
[09:24] <evilmegaman> when I try to start the live CD, it freezes up while loading, The CD is verified as working, It has something to do with the computer I am installing it on.. any ideas?
[09:25] <Gartral> ok, had to restart x
[09:25] <Flannel> mindstate: dev packages all end in -dev, so whatever ones are pertinent
[09:25] <ChaosEddie> jtgans: thanks. I found the issue. right click and 'synchronize with web server' turned the clock to 8 25
[09:25] <ChaosEddie> PM
[09:25] <Frogzoo> fluxd: is there a line: # Splash Image
[09:25] <ChaosEddie> instead of 2 25am
[09:25] <jtgans> ChaosEddie: thank Gartral -- he provided the fix that works. =o)
[09:25] <mindstate> Flannel: ok
[09:25] <fluxd> Frogzoo no dont think so
[09:25] <Gartral> is that the right time?
[09:25] <ChaosEddie> no no he provided the problem
[09:25] <ChaosEddie> nopeits off by 18 hurs
[09:25] <jtgans> Geh?
[09:25] <jtgans> Uhh...
[09:25] <jtgans> Okay.

[09:28] <Frogzoo> ChaosEddie: u using ntp ?
[09:28] <imsocute> hi...how can i change the color depth???
[09:28] <fluxd> ChaosEddie if u install ntp support it should update autoatically
[09:28] <Gartral> chaos, did setting the timezone help?
[09:28] <userlinux> yeah it keeps asking about dcopserver
[09:28] <userlinux> what is it/
[09:28] <ChaosEddie> NTP....?

[09:34] <Frogzoo> !audacious
[09:34] <ubotu> A !repository for the Audacious audio player now exists: see http://audacious-media-player.org/Downloads
[09:34] <userlinux> it keeps giving me an error

[09:34] <ChaosEddie> userlinux: what error specifically?
[09:34] <userlinux> let me check. h/o
[09:34] <Gartral> mp3 is a closed source, i prefer !ogg
[09:35] <cypher1> userlinux, you can use the new spec

[09:35] <Frogzoo> userlinux: guess again
[09:35] <DarthLappy> Yes it can.
[09:36] <userlinux> what program plays mp3 than
[09:36] <posingaspopular> hey sorry guys, this is still me. ChaosEddie, posingaspopular w/e.
[09:36] <posingaspopular> userlinux: you need to modify the codecs of ubuntu
[09:36] <posingaspopular> to play mp3s
[09:37] <posingaspopular> amarok will play mp3s
[09:37] <posingaspopular> once you configure it
[09:37] <userlinux> The problem is Amarok won't even boot
[09:37] <cypher1> userlinux, which version of ubuntu are you using
[09:37] <DarthLappy> Well it's more installing, rather than modifying.
[09:37] <userlinux> 6.10
[09:37] <posingaspopular> people need to stop ghosting me
[09:38] <jtgans> posingaspopular: ghosting you?
[09:38] <userlinux> cypherl: 6.10
[09:38] <posingaspopular> stealing my nick or changing my nick or generally messing around with my messaging apps.
[09:38] <cypher1> there is a easycodec installation spec in feisty but seems not in edgy (6.10)
[09:38] <jtgans> Ah.

[09:39] <posingaspopular> ChaosEddie: give me back my nick!
[09:39] <cypher1> userlinux, you can follow the RestrictedFormats link and install the required codecs to enjoy mp3 and other things in ubuntu
[09:39] <surgy> ok so im running kubuntu edgy 6.10 and no one in #kubuntu know the answer. What is the macro for changing between instances of X?

[09:39] <Frogzoo> phatrabbit: sup?

[09:40] <cypher1> DarthLappy, oh sorry will do from now on
[09:40] <jtgans> posingaspopular: have you considered changing your password?

[09:41] <userlinux> whats the mininmal req for running ubuntu
[09:41] <userlinux> minimal*

[09:41] <posingaspopular> 2.0 gig or something like that
[09:41] <jtgans> Oh, scratch that. Now I do.
[09:41] <posingaspopular> xD
[09:42] <cypher1> je_fro, uname -r
[09:42] <martin_aulbach> uname -r gives you the kernel version
[09:42] <userlinux> 256mb of ram
[09:42] <Steil> surgy: if you're in X, ctrl + alt + F7-F12?
[09:42] <phatrabbit> Frogzoo: i have tried reading up on how to download and install the k3b package, but i am not sure what to add to my sourcelist file
[09:42] <posingaspopular> probably some bot or such joker
[09:42] <surgy> steil let me try

[09:45] <Steil> youkilldkennedy: hmm not much I can suggest, file a bug with alsa.....my laptop used to have that problem with anything bfore edgy
[09:45] <Frogzoo> !k3b | phatrabbit
[09:45] <ubotu> phatrabbit: k3b is a feature-rich and user-friendly burning application for KDE (and, as all KDE applications, works fine on GNOME). For a guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/K3BHowto
[09:45] <martin_aulbach> nice one, japanese working in XChat ;)
[09:46] <youkilldkennedy> Steil: Odd, it'd do this in windows too for a while too, then it'd work for a while, and keep switching.
[09:46] <arromeo> What file should I edit to start a specific window manager?
[09:46] <Steil> youkilldkennedy: does your laptop have volume buttons on the side?
[09:46] <youkilldkennedy> Steil: On the top above the keyboard, yes.
[09:47] <KennyR> Frogzoo, Is samba all command line??
[09:47] <KennyR> Frogzoo, Is there a GUI version of samba?
[09:47] <Steil> my laptop is HP. all my side buttons except the volume up stopped working, can't disable/enable wireless radio, all the lights are dead
[09:47] <Steil> had nothing but trouble with it
[09:48] <youkilldkennedy> Steil: Only my mute, volume and play buttons work.. next, stop, and previous refuse to work.
[09:48] <t0dd> what is the best movie player to use in ubuntu?
[09:48] <Steil> if windows is giving you the problem too, i'd call up HP or go on their website and do a live chat with a customer service rep
[09:48] <Steil> they're usually pretty helpful
[09:49] <youkilldkennedy> Steil: Good idea, I'll check it out. Thanks
[09:49] <montee> hi
[09:49] <Gartral> note the usually
[09:49] <posingaspopular> t0dd: VLC
[09:49] <t0dd> ..
[09:49] <posingaspopular> my opinion
[09:49] <t0dd> ok
[09:49] <t0dd> any other opinions
[09:49] <posingaspopular> montee: !
[09:50] <montee> :)
[09:50] <t0dd> posingaspopular do you know the package name?
[09:50] <posingaspopular> sudo apt-get install vlc
[09:50] <t0dd> i guess its just vlc
[09:50] <t0dd> ok
[09:50] <posingaspopular> iirc
[09:50] <t0dd> thanks
[09:50] <posingaspopular> np
[09:51] <KennyR> Is samba all command line??
[09:51] <posingaspopular> times flies when you're fixing problems in #ubuntu
[09:51] <KennyR> Is there a GUI version of samba?
[09:51] <t0dd> oh, another question
[09:51] <t0dd> why when I go to install g++, I am asked to insert my ubuntu live cd
[09:52] <posingaspopular> is that the exact message?
[09:52] <pounce> you need to change your /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:52] <t0dd> how do I do that?
[09:53] <posingaspopular> terminal. type what pounce posted.
[09:53] <diffbavis> hey guys when i scrot a realplayer window the video appears just black. is there some way to capture that?
[09:53] <t0dd> oh
[09:53] <t0dd> ok
[09:53] <posingaspopular> yea
[09:53] <posingaspopular> pounce: those are the repositories?
[09:53] <pounce> yes
[09:54] <pounce> you can use nano to edit them
[09:54] <pounce> nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:54] <t0dd> what should I change?
[09:54] <t0dd> does pico work as well?
[09:54] <posingaspopular> k im trying to learn all the different commands/meanings
[09:54] <pounce> you have to do it as root, so do sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:54] <pounce> pico is an alias to nano
[09:54] <t0dd> oh, alright
[09:54] <t0dd> is there a specific line in the file I need to change?
[09:55] <posingaspopular> all of them!
[09:55] <pounce> check out this page
[09:55] <pounce> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Edgy#Ubuntu_Updates
[09:55] <KennyR> xD
[09:55] <pounce> that's how you edit the sources
[09:55] <phatrabbit> Hi, how can i check if i have the latest nvidia drivers installed on ubuntu
[09:55] <t0dd> thanks.
[09:55] <KennyR> Who knows anything about Samba?
[09:55] <pounce> did you install them, phatrabbit?
[09:55] <pounce> or are you just installing ubuntu for the first time?
[09:56] <martin_aulbach> I don't know much about samba
[09:56] <martin_aulbach> I'd just read the Wiki entry on how to set it up and use it
[09:56] <pounce> if you're just now installing ubuntu, go here: http://lunapark6.com/?p=2717 and follow the instructions to install envy - it's an easy way to update your nvidia drivers without having to mess with compiling.
[09:56] <posingaspopular> jtgans: did you see when ChaosEddie left out the room?
[09:57] <pounce> I used it and it worked like a charm.
[09:57] <jtgans> posingaspopular: No, I'm afraid I didn't. But I don't see him in my list of users anymore.
[09:58] <posingaspopular> [02:52]  <-- ChaosEddie has left this server (Success). from when *I*left out of #chicago-ubuntu
[09:58] <jtgans> Odd.
[09:58] <posingaspopular> yea i told you it was problem a joker/bot
[09:58] <jtgans> I did a /who on the nick and it showed up as a separate IP address from the same blockadn ISP.
[09:58] <jtgans> s/blockadn/block and/
[09:58] <posingaspopular> huh that's weird
[09:59] <jtgans> Yeah.
[09:59] <jtgans> It might just be something weird with your IRC client.
[09:59] <posingaspopular> it's probably a redirect of the ip
[09:59] <jtgans> posingaspopular: eh?
[09:59] <acke_> hey i get an error from ivman, device /dev/sda1 is not removable? ubuntu  doesnt mount any of my other partititions.
[09:59] <posingaspopular> they bounced their signal around through verious proxies to mask their real origin of the information
[10:00] <posingaspopular> yea whatever. it's just the internet.
[10:00] <jtgans> Heh
[10:00] <posingaspopular> gnight to you
[10:00] <jtgans> G'night. =o)
[10:01] <brosio> hi all
[10:01] <brosio> how could hi minimize thunderbird in the systray ?
[10:01] <Frogzoo> !docs | posingaspopular
[10:01] <ubotu> posingaspopular: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com
[10:02] <switchy> hi all, is there a way for me to get ubuntu to run an applications (full screen amarok) using solely a keyboard shortcut? I've checked the keyboard shortcut menu in edgy, but it only has predefined commands.
[10:02] <brosio> so ??
[10:02] <Frogzoo> switchy: check under configuration editor -> apps -> metacity
[10:02] <parixa> hi.. I am having some problems with the Herd4. I am having trouble logging out. Where can I find relevant info to file a bug report?
[10:03] <posingaspopular> brosio: maybe someone in #thunderbird has an answer
[10:03] <Frogzoo> switchy: or ... if you start amarok in your session, you can define keys in amarok
[10:03] <posingaspopular> parixa: wiki.ubuntu.com/herd4
[10:03] <posingaspopular> i beliveeee
[10:03] <posingaspopular> wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyFawn/Herd4
[10:03] <posingaspopular> thats the one
[10:04] <parixa> I meant where can I find the log files, so I can open a relevant report
[10:04] <posingaspopular> ummmmmm check the documentation, I have no idea at all. and i need sleep
[10:04] <dave__> hi, can anyone recommend some ftp software and some coding software for the web (something similar to the coding interface on dreamweaver)?
[10:04] <switchy> Frogzoo: I'm trying the first suggestion now, but the full screen feature is altogether a separate program, so I don't think Amarok  is integrated with it by default.
[10:05] <youkilldkennedy> dave_: You could try running Dreamweaver in WINE.
[10:07] <duncan_> I'm having problems with my wine install, I installed steam, and put the tahoma font into the font folder, but steam refuses to display any text
[10:07] <dave__> youkilldkennedy: will it be slower than normal because it is going through wine?
[10:07] <youkilldkennedy> dave_: I run World of Warcraft on wine at a higher FPS than on windows.
[10:07] <duncan_> probably a slight difference dave
[10:07] <infidel> switchy, if you find out let me know
[10:07] <youkilldkennedy> !wine | dave_
[10:07] <ubotu> dave_: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[10:07] <mindstate> can i put mplayer on a continuous loop?
[10:08] <switchy> infedel: sure
[10:08] <infidel> switchy, thanks
[10:08] <dave__> cheers everyone, i notice there are a lot of ftp programs, can anyone recommend a decent one?
[10:09] <scrollzer> dave__: gftp
[10:09] <dave__> thanks scrollzer
[10:10] <martin_aulbach> well I just bought a 3-month subscription of Cedega for 15 Euro
[10:10] <switchy> In the config editor, under apps > metacity> global keybindings, i see several "run_command_#", does anyone know how to assign certain commands to the hotkey?
[10:10] <duncan_> could someone be kind enought to answer me? :)
[10:10] <youkilldkennedy> dave_: I hope that works out for you.
[10:10] <martin_aulbach> for playing games, Cedega is much more comfortable and better, I think
[10:10] <daveR> finally lol, is there a place i can go for good gfx effects with ubuntu, for example that effect when you move a window is wobbles
[10:10] <martin_aulbach> daveR: XGL and Compiz will make you happy
[10:11] <martin_aulbach> you will find information about it on the Wiki pages
[10:11] <duncan_> I've found wine to have better performance than Cedega
[10:11] <martin_aulbach> really?
[10:11] <martin_aulbach> I didn't get around to try out Cedega really much until now.
[10:11] <duncan_> the steam based games I've been using :)
[10:11] <daveR> thanks martin_aulbach
[10:11] <duncan_> anyhow
[10:12] <martin_aulbach> yeah, but steam really sucks, I think
[10:12] <martin_aulbach> I mean, to give control over your computer over by steam
[10:13] <martin_aulbach> but the game I wanted to install in Cedega yesterday wasn't better anyway: Trackmania Nations
[10:14] <martin_aulbach> even though it's free, it has a bad copy protection (StarForce) similar to Sony's Root Kit
[10:14] <mindstate> can i put mplayer on a continuous loop?
[10:14] <martin_aulbach> so it won't install, because Cedega can't simulate such a deep interaction with Windows
[10:15] <switchy> infidel: still there?
[10:15] <diffbavis> mindstate: mplayer -loop 0 movie.avi
[10:16] <mindstate> diffbavis: thank u
[10:17] <ThomBrown> any1 go to Ubucon here in NYC?
[10:17] <infidel> switchy, yup
[10:17] <switchy> here's the deal
[10:17] <switchy> open up the configuration editor
[10:18] <switchy> and then go apps> metacity > global keybindings
[10:18] <duncan_> I think i'm just going to reinstall ubuntu, it will be easier to solve my problem
[10:18] <switchy> lemme know when that's taken care of
[10:19] <infidel> i can't find configuration editor
[10:20] <switchy> umm.... right click on the applications menu, go to edit menu, and then go to system tools, and enable config editor
[10:20] <switchy> that should work
[10:21] <arunkumaran> hello room
[10:21] <infidel> ok
[10:21] <arunkumaran> is there any service that allows free calling to US...can i use ekiga for that?
[10:21] <switchy> that worked?
[10:22] <infidel> yes
[10:22] <switchy> then do what i told you before
[10:22] <ThomBrown> are we talkin about Palm syncing?
[10:22] <Gerry_W> what's the best way to mount iso's in ubuntu?
[10:23] <brosio> how could hi minimize thunderbird in the systray ?
[10:23] <infidel> cool thanks
[10:23] <switchy> figure the rest out?
[10:23] <watson540> mount -t iso9660 <file <location>
[10:24] <infidel> working on it
[10:24] <nikin> yesterday i was talking about i didnt get extra performance changing an MX440 to a 6600.. i think i found the problem.... its most likely the AGI slot on my MB (kinda fake AGP).. anyone agree or disagree?
[10:25] <Gerry_W> @watson540
[10:25] <Gerry_W> when I try that
[10:26] <Gerry_W> my system locks up
[10:26] <snille> Good morning everybody! :)
[10:26] <cmp1988> How do I edit my GRUB to remove redundant entries, such as previous versions of the Kernel?
[10:26] <Gerry_W> like it's doing right now :S
[10:26] <phatrabbit> hi all. Ubuntu does not recongise my other drives
[10:26] <phatrabbit> i would like to get into my Windows Drive
[10:26] <phatrabbit> they will not mount ? any ideas
[10:26] <cmp1988> Usually when Ubuntu installs, you have an option to add the mount points of your windows drives to /media
[10:27] <watson540> Gerry_W - umm you're doing - mount -t iso9660 file.ext /media/dir ?
[10:27] <phatrabbit> cmp1988:  how can i reconfigure this
[10:27] <watson540> Gerry_W - is it an iso file?
[10:27] <Gerry_W> does it have to be in /media?
[10:27] <Gerry_W> yes
[10:27] <Gerry_W> it is
[10:27] <cmp1988> phatrabbit: I'm not sure, that's all I know about mounting other drives
[10:27] <phatrabbit> ok np
[10:27] <watson540> Gerry_W - it can be wherever you have a valid directory on the hard drive
[10:27] <Gerry_W> ok
[10:28] <Gerry_W> well
[10:28] <snille> Anyone here with a working 4 screen setup running beryl?
[10:28] <Gerry_W> it may be working, but I can't check
[10:28] <cmp1988> Beryl is kinda slow on my comp, but it works
[10:28] <watson540> Gerry_W - try a alt-sysrq-SUB
[10:28] <cmp1988> a bit
[10:28] <youkilldkennedy> !dvd
[10:28] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[10:29] <watson540> or alt-sysrq-I if it works
[10:29] <watson540> or SAK
[10:30] <phatrabbit> is there anyway to get the gnome window browser to show the full path as in pwd
[10:30] <nikin> is there any support for AGI slots in ubuntu
[10:30] <nikin> ?
[10:30] <snille> Anyone with xinerama and beryl working?
[10:32] <phatrabbit> ok the answer is CTRL+ L
[10:32] <phatrabbit> :P
[10:32] <KennyR> does k9copy run on Edgy?
[10:32] <jtgans> phatrabbit: nooo! I'm reading that thread now! =o)
[10:33] <DarkClown> anyone that could point me in the direction of info on how to config grub in mbr to boot grum on a partiotion?
[10:33] <phatrabbit> lol sorry
[10:33] <jtgans> Just wish NewsForge had listed the message IDs so I could find the actual threads faster. =op
[10:34] <jtgans> The ensuing discussion from both outbursts from Linus were quite enlightening.
[10:34] <jtgans> And honestly, I've felt the same pressures backflowing from my patches to the GNOME project as he has, apparently. O.o
[10:34] <snille> Is there anyone here with a 4 screen setup at all?
[10:35] <Gerry_W> well
[10:35] <Gerry_W> I'm back
[10:36] <Gerry_W> the same thing occurred before when I tried to mount
[10:36] <Gerry_W> I switched to metacity from beryl, but it didn't help
[10:36] <phatrabbit> yer im having issues aswell Gerry_W
[10:36] <switchy> infidel: oh sorry, anyways, set run_command_1 with a certain hotkey combination, and then move to define keys (or something like that), which is the option bwloe define global keybindings and set run_command_1 with the definition "AmarokFD" without the quotes
[10:37] <switchy> if that works, it's high time for me to sign off
[10:38] <phatrabbit> does anyone know how to make my USB drive writable
[10:38] <Tox> hi why after last reboot i found grub boot list changed and how to edit it where i cud find it ?
[10:38] <phatrabbit> can i do chmod -R 775 /media/usbdrive
[10:38] <sh> hi~
[10:40] <mackinac> Tox - just got a kernel update?
[10:40] <Hellevator> phatrabbit, im not sure if that would work or not.  It depends on how the drive was mounted and what filesystem the usb stick is
[10:40] <Tox> seems not .. maybe earlier
[10:40] <phatrabbit> Hellevator: its a mass storage USB drive 300 gig
[10:40] <mackinac> Tox - /boot/grub/menu.lst
[10:41] <Hellevator> phatrabbit, what filesystem is it?  FAT?
[10:41] <Tox> mackinac: tnx .. and it becomes slower what happened
[10:41] <Phatrabbit|2>  If you have software installed that automatically mounts your usbdisk,
[10:41] <Phatrabbit|2> and when mounted you only have read permissions then you should first
[10:41] <Phatrabbit|2> unmount the usbdisk and then remount it again but with extra options to
[10:41] <Phatrabbit|2> trick the fat32 filesystem to giving you read/write permissions for accessing the
[10:41] <Phatrabbit|2> usbdisk.
[10:41] <mackinac> cant anser that part Tox
[10:42] <Hellevator> phatrabbit, yeah :) thats what I was going to get at eventually
[10:42] <Gerry_W> how can I mount isos? the regular command just locks up my system
[10:42] <smokie> sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/usbdisk/ -t vfat -o iocharset=utf8,umask=000
[10:42] <mackinac> !iso
[10:42] <ubotu> To mount an ISO disc image, type "sudo mount -o loop my.iso <mountpoint>" There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before burning. Burning .iso files: see !burn
[10:43] <Hellevator> smokie, yeah, that should do it
[10:43] <Tox> very strange 2 months i got no problem ...
[10:43] <kraut> moin
[10:44] <infidel> switchy, you still there?
[10:44] <Tox> mackinac: how do u think if i install debian (full version dvd) it shud be more stable than ubuntu ?
[10:45] <switchy> yeah
[10:45] <mackinac> Tox - I dont know
[10:46] <elias_> !ati
[10:46] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto

[10:48] <zmaster> hi all
[10:48] <Gerry_W> mackinac:that iso-mounting command just freezes up my system
[10:48] <Gerry_W>  any active windows can still be read, but anything else I try to start just sits in the taskbar as "starting <program>" and then disappears off of it
[10:48] <AJIEXA> hi all
[10:48] <infidel> switchy, yeah i can't find where to change which programs i want to open with keyboard shortcuts
[10:49] <zmaster> Is there a gui for mencoder for ubuntu, since in windows i used a gui for mencoder to encode full res vids for my psp
[10:49] <daveR> hey, does anyone know how to set certain programs to auto start when i login, e.g. gmail notifier and GAIM?
[10:50] <daveR> nvm, found it
[10:50] <AJIEXA> plz help me, i need a good program to organize my MP3 CD, I try to find but still can't .... may be somone tell me the good choise ? thx
[10:50] <infidel> switchy, nevermind i found it
[10:50] <Gerry_W> how can I mount an iso besides the default command (which freezes up my system)
[10:50] <ernz> Hi people, COPYRIGHT ISSUE >> Am I permitted to safely use the Ubuntu logo within a personal avatar?
[10:51] <zmaster> AJIEXA: you mean something like itunes ?
[10:51] <szachista> hi there
[10:51] <snille> !beryl
[10:51] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[10:51] <szachista> does nvidia-legacy drivers support aiglx/beryl?
[10:51] <t0dd> whats the best programming editor to use in linux?
[10:51] <szachista> beryl is hot topic as i can see ;)
[10:52] <AJIEXA> zmaster: yes .. but i also see-manage my CD
[10:52] <szachista> t0dd: what language?
[10:52] <snille> Anyone with xinerama and beryl working?
[10:52] <zmaster> AJIEXA: songbird is your answer
[10:52] <szachista> t0dd: for n00b or haxor? ;)
[10:52] <t0dd> lets hear both
[10:52] <zmaster> Is there a gui for mencoder for ubuntu, since in windows i used a gui for mencoder to encode full res vids for my psp
[10:52] <t0dd> haha
[10:52] <szachista> t0dd: it said emacs/vim are for hardcore users the best one, but i'm just noob....
[10:52] <AJIEXA> songbird: BIG thx!!! I try it
[10:52] <ernz> zmaster: I normally use avidemux - that is pretty cool.
[10:53] <szachista> t0dd: for simple programs i would recomend geany, it's really nice app :)
[10:53] <st3> try anjuta
[10:53] <hoagie> ok if anyone remembeers from yesterday, I managed to get the internet working, But my problem is that local pages, such my isp's one don't load. Not even the one that's uploaded in my modem
[10:53] <zmaster> ernz: ive never used it since im a newbie but i really like songbird, has a itunes feel to it and you can browse the web sine its based on mozilla firefox, also when browsing the web it lists all the audio and video it finds so you can play it
[10:53] <Gerry_W> how can I mount an iso besides the default command (which freezes up my system)?
[10:53] <hoagie> any ideas?
[10:54] <zmaster> Is there a GUI for MENCODER
[10:54] <t0dd> thanks for the advice
[10:54] <t0dd> I guess I will try emacs.
[10:54] <ssstormy> zmaster, yeah but I think it's only for windows
[10:54] <ssstormy> not sure
[10:54] <daveR> Hi, how do i turn off compiz in the terminal commands?
[10:54] <t0dd> I liked notepad++ on Windows
[10:54] <ernz> szachista: Sorry I misunderstood - I thought you were wanting a video file editor.
[10:55] <ssstormy> zmaster, oh actually look for gmencoder
[10:55] <mackinac> Gerry_W - what command do you type
[10:55] <phatrabbit> every update that ubuntu downloads is saved into /var/cache/apt/archives/ is that correct ? if i burn all the contents to that dir to CD can i reinstall all the updates on a new install of ubuntu
[10:55] <t0dd> I always hear cs professors on my campus praising emacs though, so i guess it is a good choice
[10:55] <szachista> eracc: no, i just would like to have beryl under geforce4, is this possible only with xgl?
[10:55] <zmaster> ssstoray: ok, will do that
[10:55] <szachista> ernz: ^
[10:55] <ernz> szachista: You seem to be a hardened Ubuntu user. What are the copyright permissions regarding the official Ubuntu image - Can I use it in a personal avatar?
[10:55] <t0dd> and another question, what would you recommend as a music player for ubuntu?
[10:56] <sparr> ernz: you mean the logo?
[10:56] <Gerry_W> sudo mount -o loop "the iso".so /me/home
[10:56] <ernz> Sparr - Yes.
[10:56] <Gerry_W> I know I have all of the data right
[10:56] <szachista> ernz: werrr.... i'm even not an ubuntu user, sorry...
[10:56] <ernz> :|
[10:57] <Gerry_W> I had the system browser open before the system locked up
[10:57] <daveR> compiz has messed all my windows up and i really need to stop it.  i put in this "compiz --replace gconf" to start it, now i need to stop it.
[10:57] <Gerry_W> so
[10:57] <Gerry_W> now it appears
[10:57] <szachista> ernz: logo is copyrighten, but it's just avatar, common
[10:57] <ernz> I am having a stupid morning today, eh?
[10:57] <varkatope> hi
[10:57] <phatrabbit> every update that ubuntu downloads is saved into /var/cache/apt/archives/ is that correct ? if i burn all the contents to that dir to CD can i reinstall all the updates on a new install of ubuntu
[10:57] <bimberi> phatrabbit: yes
[10:57] <gansinho> hello... does anybody know if it is possible to run ubuntu via a zip drive in a windows computer?
[10:57] <Gerry_W> that my directory has been filled with the iso files and others have been deleted
[10:57] <fong> can anyone point me to the link for a good installation guide for ubuntu, where the GRUB is installed in the linux partition and only slight changes are made to the windows boot loader?
[10:58] <Gerry_W> not that I had much there
[10:58] <Gerry_W> but I'll copy them somewhere else in the future
[10:58] <szachista> ernz: type "trademark policy" on ubuntu.com
[10:58] <bimberi> phatrabbit: you will still need to update the repositories (apt-get update) but when you upgrade it will find the packages there and use them.
[10:58] <Gerry_W> you know what? I think I've realized the problem. sticking this in my /home was not smart
[10:58] <Gerry_W> I see
[10:58] <fong> can anyone point me to the link for a good installation guide for ubuntu, where the GRUB is installed in the linux partition and only slight changes are made to the windows boot loader?
[10:59] <Gerry_W> I'll put the iso somewhere else

[10:59] <mackinac> yeah /home is not a good choice for a mount point ;)
[11:00] <fong> anyone?
[11:00] <fong> installation guides please?
[11:01] <bimberi> !install | fong, not sure if this has exactly what you need but worth a look

[11:01] <Frogzoo> Quilby: -> #automatix
[11:01] <Quilby> there is no one there frogzoo
[11:01] <Lucifel> What would I need if I wanted to encode a bunch of old mpgs into DivX in Ubuntu?
[11:01] <Gerry_W> mackinac: I'll stick the iso in another directory and see what happens
[11:02] <fong> bimberi, i used a guide before which detailed about the installation particularly the GRUB, and that its written in the linux partition, then there would be slight modifications to the windows boot loader
[11:02] <Frogzoo> Quilby: if you want to run automatix, that's where you go for support
[11:02] <fong> but i cant remember the link, and didnt bookmark it

[11:04] <Quilby> is automatix a virus?
[11:04] <imsocute> can someone tell me a good how to page for wine???

[11:05] <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.

[11:10] <phatrabbit> does anyone know how i can test my drivers for my video card are working properly

[11:11] <KennyR> did they take the DVD-Shrink support out of Edgy, im assuming Edgy is newer than Dapper Drake, or am I incorrect?
[11:11] <jtgans> Ah. Much better -- back on Dapper.

[11:11] <Phatrabbit|2> i take it from that response they are not installed properly
[11:11] <KennyR> ardchoille, on one of my live-cd's it had a DVD-Shrink menu.. I think it was 6.06
[11:12] <KennyR> ardchoille, if im not mistakin 6.06 is Dapper Drake?
[11:12] <imsocute> i can't intall software using wine...it just says  wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\flashget181en.exe": Module not found...help!
[11:12] <core123> Phatrabbit|2, USE pastebin
[11:12] <ardchoille> KennyR: Yes, 6.06 is Dapper, that's what I run, but I have never seen dvd shrink in Dapper.
[11:12] <ardchoille> KennyR: http://dvdshrink.sourceforge.net
[11:12] <Phatrabbit|2> core123: i have never used pastebin before can you give me a hand
[11:13] <KennyR> ardchoille, Let me boot up inside my Live-CD on my laptop, maybe im mistaken and seen something else.
[11:13] <core123> http://rafb.net/paste/
[11:13] <Phatrabbit|2> is that the website where u paste your errors and people help u

[11:13] <sm0k3d> hey guys
[11:13] <diazepam> guys can anyone tell me where i can get "liblame0" for Edgy?
[11:13] <dave_> does anyone know of any help documents for dual screens with different resolutions?
[11:13] <Stormx2> !liblame0
[11:14] <ubotu> liblame0: LAME Ain't an MP3 Encoder. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 3.96.1-2 (edgy), package size 182 kB, installed size 452 kB
[11:14] <Stormx2> diazepam: You need to enable multiverse
[11:14] <sm0k3d> i have been trying to install realvnc for almost an hour, can any1 help me
[11:14] <KennyR> ardchoille, Another quick question.. Why did I receive Dapper-Drake Live-CD if Edgy is newer?? I received these disks about 2 weeks ago.
[11:14] <diazepam> hmm i thought i had multiverse
[11:14] <diazepam> obviously not
[11:14] <Stormx2> KennyR: Dapper is meant to be easier to support, etc#
[11:14] <Tomcat_> KennyR: I think they don't send edgy CDs...
[11:15] <Tomcat_> KennyR: Because Dapper has long-term support
[11:15] <KennyR> Oh ok, thanks Stormx2 , Tomcat_
[11:15] <ardchoille> diazepam: sudo apt-get install liblam0 , it's in multiverse
[11:15] <sm0k3d> can some1 help me install realvnc (or any program for that matter)
[11:15] <Stormx2> !vnc
[11:15] <ubotu> VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX
[11:15] <Stormx2> Read.
[11:15] <ardchoille> KennyR: The ShipIt service will ship Dapper instead of Edgy, I don't know why.
[11:16] <Lucifel> !freenx
[11:16] <ubotu> FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX
[11:16] <KennyR> ardchoille, Hmm, thats something that should be corrected, if they wish to add more support for newer versions.. But I do have Edgy on This PC, because I downloaded the Live-CD
[11:16] <Phatrabbit|2> http://rafb.net/p/7qATzz15.html
[11:17] <Phatrabbit|2> can somone give me help with that error
[11:17] <Stormx2> KennyR: Its a decision, its not accidental. The basics is that dapper is a more solid platform, and anything which goes wrong is easier to fix, etc. Basically it has a more stable codebase than edgy
[11:17] <ardchoille> KennyR: just as an aside, I will never run Edgy. Dapper has been rock-solid and never gave me a problem. Edgy, on the other hand, has too many problems, IMHO.
[11:18] <diazepam> sorry one more:  Every time i try to compile from source i get this error - does anyone know how to correct:  "checking for gcc... gcc
[11:18] <diazepam> checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables"
[11:18] <KennyR> ardchoille, Do you suppose thats why my sound doesnt work?
[11:18] <ardchoille> KennyR: I could never get sound to work in Edgy either.
[11:18] <alecjw> diazepam, do you have th kernel headers?
[11:19] <KennyR> ardchoille, If im also not mistaken, the reason why my wireless Winbond PCI card doesnt work is because lack of support from Winbond's drivers in Linux..
[11:19] <ardchoille> KennyR: I don't know much about wireless, sorry
[11:20] <KennyR> ardchoille, Well thats ok, I didnt come here for support on that.. Im more interested in what I seen in Dapper's menu on Live-CD
[11:20] <DaveR> where can i get twinview from?
[11:20] <Gerry_W> mackinac: my /media just wasn't big enough
[11:21] <ardchoille> KennyR: I don't think any of the Ubuntu livecd's have dvdshrink. You really need libdvdcss2 to be able to rip/watch most modern dvd's and that lib can't be included due to legal restrictions. You can install dvdshrink, though. I have it.
[11:21] <mackinac> oh really?
[11:21] <KennyR> Well I cant find DVD-Shrink for edgy
[11:21] <ardchoille> KennyR: http://dvdshrink.sourceforge.net
[11:21] <Gerry_W> mackinac: yes. only 2.5 GB. I'll resize it, make it larger
[11:21] <Gerry_W> but later
[11:21] <Gerry_W> right now
[11:21] <KennyR> ardchoille, I looked in the Add/Remove programs, shouldnt it be in there?
[11:22] <Gerry_W> I'm copying to a folder in /home
[11:22] <fong> do i need to create a fat 32 partition when installing a dual boot system?
[11:22] <ardchoille> KennyR: That package has an installer that checks for deps. If the deps aren't installed, it will tell you what you need. All the deps are in the repos.
[11:22] <mackinac> iso of a dvd then eh?
[11:22] <ardchoille> KennyR: dvdshrink is not going to be there.
[11:22] <zmaster> hey all
[11:22] <Gerry_W> yes
[11:22] <rem_> hey .. I installed totem-xine package...but i still cant play divx, xvid etc .. anyone knows why .. ?
[11:22] <zmaster> is there a good gui for converting full res psp videos
[11:22] <KennyR> ardchoille, Thanks for your support, I wouldnt be using Ubuntu if it wasnt for the lovely community..
[11:22] <mackinac> lol i didn't think of that
[11:22] <fong> do i need to create a fat 32 partition when installing a dual boot system?
[11:22] <ardchoille> KennyR: Ditto :)
[11:24] <ardchoille> KennyR: BTW, that link I gave you for dvdshrink is the Linux version, it doesn't need wine.
[11:24] <ghatak> Hi, i use fluxbox as window manager on edgy, the screen resolution keeps getting back to default and does not stay at what i change it to using gnome-control-center every time i restart. How do i change it so that it stays permanent ?
[11:24] <Phatrabbit|2> can somone give me help with that error
[11:24] <Phatrabbit|2> http://rafb.net/p/7qATzz15.html
[11:24] <KennyR> ardchoille, Thanks alot.. i'll be sure to check it out..
[11:24] <rem_> fong you only have to if you want to use the windows disk loader ... if you use grub then no...It could also be convenient to share files with windows...fat32 is easier read/write then ntfs, although thats possible too ..
[11:24] <zmaster> is there a good gui for converting full res psp videos
[11:24] <typecast> Phatrabbit|2: can you paste your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
[11:24] <rem_> hey .. I installed totem-xine package...but i still cant play divx, xvid etc .. anyone knows why .. ?
[11:25] <rem_> on a fresh edgy install ..
[11:25] <zmaster> rem_: you dont have the codecs installed
[11:25] <fong> rem_, can i do away with the fat32 partition? can the ntfs-3g do the job?
[11:25] <fong> !ntfs-3g
[11:25] <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)
[11:25] <Phatrabbit|2> sure
[11:25] <rem_> zmaster...ok but how do i install them .. ?...usually totem-xine package is enough .. ?!
[11:26] <elias__> !mount
[11:26] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[11:26] <ardchoille> rem_: sudo apt-get install libxine-extracodecs
[11:26] <DaveR> anyone know how to setup twinview?
[11:26] <elias__> !fstab
[11:26] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions

[11:26] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - See also !fuse
[11:26] <rem_> I havent tried the ntfs-3g ..i heard it wasnt working flawlessly in the past but that its pretty ok now ... although as i said i havent tested it yet ..
[11:26] <elias__> !fuse
[11:26] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing using fuse here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[11:26] <rem_> k thx ard ill try that ,..
[11:26] <zmaster> rem_: since im a newbie i used automatix2 and selected the codec package fro mthere and everything works
[11:27] <Phatrabbit|2> typecast: http://rafb.net/p/ZaYyeD98.html
[11:27] <zmaster> is there a good gui for converting full res psp videos
[11:27] <rem_> yea..i thought about taht too ... i might do that if the extracodec packes dont work... thx zm ..
[11:27] <cornice> ciao
[11:27] <typecast> rem_: you might want to have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Multimedia
[11:27] <ardchoille> !automatix > rem_
[11:27] <fong> rem_, can i do away with the fat32 partition? can the ntfs-3g do the job?
[11:28] <Gerry_W> mackinac: hmmm... now I try to mount it and it says there's no such file or directory
[11:28] <rem_> I havent tried the ntfs-3g ..i heard it wasnt working flawlessly in the past but that its pretty ok now ... although as i said i havent tested it yet ..
[11:28] <rem_> fong..so it should work..but haven tested it ..
[11:28] <Gerry_W> mackinac: I'm sure I typed it out right
[11:28] <typecast> Phatrabbit|2: Driver          "vesa" <--- that's the problem
[11:28] <zmaster> np, does any one know of a good gui to encode video for the psp/ipod
[11:28] <mackinac> Gerry - paste it
[11:28] <mackinac> here
[11:28] <phatrabbit> ohh ic it should be nvidia
[11:28] <sm0k3d> if i download a program off the internet, how can i install it so i can use it?
[11:29] <ardchoille> sm0k3d: Are you sure it isn't in the repos? What is the app name?
[11:29] <phatrabbit> ok i will replace vesa with 'nvidia'
[11:29] <Gerry_W> mackinac: sudo mount -o loop hlm-gtasa.iso /home/alex/GTA
[11:29] <Gerry_W> is what I wrote
[11:29] <sm0k3d> realvnc
[11:29] <assasukasse> hi everyone i was using irfanview on windows and now i need something similar in ubuntu, what should i look for
[11:29] <ardchoille> sm0k3d: Ok, what kind of package is it?
[11:30] <fong> in gparted, i cant seem to make a partition that is extended for the unallocated.. it seems that its grayed-out in the drop down.. why is this so?
[11:30] <sm0k3d> .tar.gz
[11:30] <GreySim> assasukasse: Eye of Gnome or GQView, I think. I'm not sure though. It's been a long time since I've used Irfanview.
[11:30] <typecast> phatrabbit: you might want to have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[11:30] <doomster> hi!
[11:30] <phatrabbit> yer i have followed that
[11:31] <tomcatt> sup
[11:31] <doomster> is there a live CD for use with PPC based machines?
[11:31] <chable> :(
[11:31] <phatrabbit> i changed vesa to nvidia and i get the same error
[11:31] <chable> i bought new hardware
[11:31] <chable> and now , ubuntu wont start the installation
[11:31] <phatrabbit> when i do glxinfo | grep direct
[11:31] <ardchoille> sm0k3d: tar xzf file.tar.gz   unpack it and go inside and read the README and INSTALL files, if any.
[11:31] <mackinac> Gerry_W : do you have room in '/' ?
[11:31] <Gerry_W> yeah
[11:31] <typecast> phatrabbit: fine. then substitute "vesa" with "nvidia"
[11:31] <ardchoille> sm0k3d: Have yo installed build-essential ?
[11:31] <mackinac> try making a dir in / as root, then mount there
[11:31] <Gerry_W> mackinac: I knew that six gigs would come in handy
[11:31] <Gerry_W> :D
[11:31] <sm0k3d>  yea i did that, but all of the files had a lock on them
[11:32] <fong> can the linux-swap partition be a primary partition?
[11:32] <ardchoille> sm0k3d: Did you download it as root?
[11:32] <Frogzoo> chable: hit F6 - change the boot line to add 'acpi=off'
[11:32] <sm0k3d> no
[11:32] <chable> Frogzoo, cheers
[11:32] <Typo> yo
[11:32] <phatrabbit> typecast: i have already subed vesa for nvidia still get the same error
[11:32] <Typo> sup ppl
[11:32] <Gerry_W> mackinac: but I obviously need to install it in a folder inside root, or it will overwrite root
[11:32] <typecast> phatrabbit: you have to restart your x-server
[11:32] <sm0k3d> i thought i should rarely go on root cuz i might screw up linux
[11:32] <phatrabbit> ohhh yer
[11:33] <phatrabbit> cheers
[11:33] <ardchoille> sm0k3d: Very good practice
[11:33] <fong> !linux-swap
[11:33] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about linux-swap - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:33] <extern> how can I reconfigure xorg server? (to set all the resolution options, etc...)
[11:33] <mackinac> Gerry_W : yeah

[11:33] <sm0k3d> god linux is so confusing
[11:33] <Frogzoo> sweet mary the mysql-server update is a monster
[11:33] <ardchoille> extern: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

[11:34] <phatrabbit> oh uh its all gone wrong lucky i have backup of old conf
[11:34] <Typo> anyone know how to get tor for ubuntu
[11:34] <greasel> Thank you!
[11:34] <Frogzoo> Typo: apt-cache search tor
[11:34] <chable> apt-get install tor
[11:35] <chable> if the right sources are uncommented
[11:35] <Typo> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
[11:35] <Typo> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[11:35] <ardchoille> Frogzoo: That's going to output way too much
[11:35] <Typo> always says that
[11:35] <typecast> Typo: sudo apt-get install tor
[11:35] <chable> :)
[11:35] <arnor> hello World!
[11:35] <chable> yep
[11:35] <Typo> k thx
[11:36] <Typo> i knew it was something like that lol
[11:36] <chable> lol
[11:36] <arnor> is there any mean to reset sources.list ?
[11:36] <chable> arnor, u can edit it
[11:36] <arnor> yes, I know
[11:36] <Frogzoo> !easysource | arnor
[11:36] <ubotu> arnor: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[11:36] <arnor> but I want to turn it back to its initial state
[11:36] <ardchoille> arnor: Did you make a backup before changing it?
[11:37] <chable> u can set it from software sources option in gnome
[11:37] <arnor> ardchoille: I guess
[11:37] <ardchoille> arnor: Then you can restore from the backup
[11:37] <arnor> is there any server where the default sources.list is stored in?
[11:37] <Gerry_W> mackinac: hmmm... no. there isn't enough space. dang.
[11:38] <chable> what that ACPI stands for ?
[11:38] <Gerry_W> mackinac: should I try my fat32 /shared folder?
[11:38] <arnor> chable: www.wikipedia.org ;)
[11:38] <chable> i could try google aswell
[11:38] <chable> :)
[11:38] <arnor> :)
[11:38] <ardchoille> arnor: I have the default sources.list for Dapper. You running Dapper?
[11:39] <arnor> ardchoille: LTS
[11:39] <arnor> 6.06 LTS
[11:39] <arnor> ;)
[11:39] <chable> thats dapper
[11:39] <arnor> I'm just waiting for Ubuntu 7.04 (or higher)
[11:39] <ardchoille> arnor: This is the sources.list that ships with the alternate cd: http://rafb.net/p/F8ftJY13.html
[11:39] <arnor> chable: Dapper?
[11:39] <chable> :)
[11:39] <arnor> yes
[11:39] <arnor> you're right
[11:39] <chable> arnor, yes , dapper drake
[11:39] <dv_> is libdps available for edgy?
[11:39] <arnor> LTS just stands for Long Time Support ;)
[11:40] <chable> yes
[11:40] <dv_> because, I cant find it in they reps
[11:40] <dv_> -y
[11:40] <mackinac> Gerry_W: i don't think that will be a valid mount point either
[11:40] <dv_> only in old ones (warty, hoary)
[11:40] <zmaster> np, does any one know of a good gui to encode video for the psp/ipod
[11:40] <zmaster> np, does any one know of a good gui to encode video for the psp/ipod
[11:40] <Frogzoo> arnor: yes
[11:40] <zmaster> np, does any one know of a good gui to encode video for the psp/ipod
[11:40] <Frogzoo> zmaster: no spam, plskthx
[11:40] <Gerry_W> mackinac: damn. I guess I'll have to resize /media
[11:41] <zmaster> frogzoo: sorry lol had my hand on enter when getting water bottle, but do you have an answer
[11:41] <Gerry_W> mackinac: I'll try /shared, though
[11:41] <fong> does the ubuntu installer automatically set the linux partition to be the active one?
[11:41] <arnor> fong: nope
[11:41] <fong> arnor, ok thanks..
[11:41] <arnor> fong: you'd better keep the Windows partition activated if you use it
[11:41] <dv_> can I use the hoary libdps1 library safely in edgy?
[11:41] <Frogzoo> zmaster: apt-cache search video |grep -i ipod
[11:41] <justin4thirty> Burn it! Burn it to the ground!
[11:42] <fong> arnor, yes, im still in the process of installation, but i'm following this guide http://www.matthewjmiller.net/howtos/dual-boot-linux-and-windows/
[11:42] <chable> thats a great thing i like
[11:42] <arnor> fond: I think that there are some matters with Windows loader if you deactive your Windows partition
[11:42] <bigbang14> could someone explain some things to me about uhci_hcd and ehci_hcd?
[11:42] <chable> u can mount ntfs partition
[11:42] <dv_> hello?
[11:42] <chable> read only
[11:42] <mackinac> Frogzoo: what is the criteria for the mount point of mounting an ISO? , like does it need to be owned by root or in fstab or ?
[11:42] <chable> this way i can accidentally werase anything
[11:42] <fong> and it states that it automatically sets the ubuntu partition active..
[11:42] <DaveR> which package do i need to install to support mp3?
[11:42] <chable> erase*
[11:42] <fong> just double checking
[11:42] <chable> i cant*
[11:42] <Frogzoo> !anyone | bigbang14
[11:42] <typecast> dv_: probably not.
[11:42] <ubotu> bigbang14: 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?
[11:42] <typecast> dv_: isn't there an edgy version of that library?
[11:43] <fong> also, my ext3 partition is in HDA3, should i install my GRUB on hd0,3, or hd0,1?
[11:43] <dv_> typecast, I cant find any
[11:43] <Frogzoo> mackinac: no criteria I can think of - just a standard directory
[11:43] <mackinac> Frogzoo: hmmm ok thanks
[11:43] <fong> how do i know what the numbering is for the primary partitions?
[11:43] <fong> need to know if my ext3 partition is the hd0,1...
[11:44] <mackinac> ah, i see what i did wrong
[11:45] <mackinac> Gerry_W: go ahead and try any folder, such as your /shared
[11:45] <typecast> dv_: indeed. that package neither exists on dapper nor on edgy
[11:46] <elias__> !soundcard
[11:46] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about soundcard - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:46] <DaveR> anyone know the mp3 decorder i need to install please?
[11:46] <typecast> dv_: i don't think that it is save to install the hoary packet on your edgy system. that may break things

[11:53] <KennyR> DaveR, Yes iv tried GAIM, but I love aMSN more.. It just started having this problem recently..
[11:53] <phatrabbit> typecast: it went to command line and said xserver has been disabled

[11:54] <Typo> KennyR: just use gaim its brilliant
[11:54] <fong> warkatope, should i follow the minor lines? in this case, since i want to install the GRUB in hda3, thus, should it be hd0,2?
[11:54] <sm0k3d> how come whenever i add a user, it never saves them?
[11:54] <KennyR> Typo, I dislike GAIM
[11:54] <DaveR> KennyR: you may get better support from their own irc, http://www.amsn-project.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=275&highlight=irc
[11:54] <typecast> phatrabbit: ok. try again and save the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log and paste it
[11:54] <fong> but the cat /proc/partitions shows that hda3 has minor line of 3
[11:55] <typecast> phatrabbit: that file will contain the error messages

[12:00] <Supre_Me> bigbang14: sorry, what do you mean? I know there should be some kind of command for this because I got help to do it before.
[12:00] <Sobek> however, the 0 does not seem to work over here :/
[12:00] <DaveR> Does anyone know how i can network an installed printer so other computers (windows computers) can print using it?
[12:00] <Sobek> at least not at the beginning
[12:01] <Sobek> Daver "samba"
[12:01] <DaveR> Sobek: is that some software or package?

[12:05] <math_> hello, is there some goed howto for sharing files with a macintosh and ubuntu?
[12:05] <bigbang14> Supre_Me: you want to change the language of the terminal?
[12:05] <math_> I realy dont know how to share my files with the macintosh
[12:06] <math_> i gues I need to use nfs?
[12:06] <math_> but the macintosh doesn't find the pc with ubuntu
[12:07] <Dextorion> Hey. Seting up a desktop machine here, and need some neat program for handeling pictures taken with my camera.  I've looked a bit at googles picasa2. Are there any other options? :)

[12:07] <Dextorion> wuwu Enselic``
[12:07] <Phatrabbit|2> sudo cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log > spit.txt

[12:10] <Enselic``> bigbang14: im = private messages? no...
[12:10] <Dextorion> ah, true
[12:10] <Sobek> Dextorion: ups, he hasn't even waited 5 minutes, what a shame
[12:10] <Sobek> maybe that explains why the autocompletion of the name would not work :)
[12:10] <Dextorion> Sobek: yup, my thought exactly.. heh

[12:30] <abbi2b> zoli2k: thx i will check
[12:31] <zoli2k> Desp: Do you have an integrated intel graphics card?
[12:31] <Desp> yes
[12:31] <zoli2k> which driver U use for X?
[12:32] <Desp> I havent installed driver yet
[12:32] <RolandU> zoli2k, thanks, it seems to check
[12:32] <Desp> I downloaded inte but it couldent complete the installation
[12:32] <Frogzoo> slippyr4: did you enable LBS in the bios?
[12:33] <Frogzoo> slippyr4: did you enable LBA in the bios? (can't type)
[12:33] <zoli2k> Desp: Can you once again write your problem? So you have a problem to start the graphical interface? Do you have a terminal window?
[12:33] <slippyr4> frogzoo, yes, it is enabled. the drive is actually a raid controller (1.2 TB array)
[12:33] <Sobek> slippyr4: as root you can try fdisk, mkfs, (cfdisk  /dev/xdY)
[12:33] <bigbang14> is there a specifc usb help irc?
[12:34] <Desp> yes
[12:34] <zoli2k> bigbang14: I am not sure, but you can ask the forum maybe somebody can help you :)
[12:34] <slippyr4> frogzoo: i've now created a 128MB boot partition and a big partition for the rest of the space. I want to use LVM on the rest of the space - does the installer support LVM? i can't see any mention of it anywhere
[12:34] <Desp> ok zoli2k ill restart and see if i get the problem again
[12:35] <hoagie> One of my partitions (dev/sda2) appears as _PNG why?
[12:35] <tony_> i've got a question: im on 6.10 ubuntu and have a 80gb hd, i want to connect my hd to it... but not have to format the other drive becoause there is music and other files i want to keep... will i be able to do this, and read the files from the other drive? any help helps, thanks
[12:35] <slippyr4> frogzoo: or do i need to set up LVM manually too?
[12:35] <Frogzoo> slippyr4: LVM for your other partitions should be fine - root's a problem so make / ext3
[12:35] <Frogzoo> slippyr4: not sure if the installer will do that, you might need the alternate
[12:36] <Frogzoo> !alternate
[12:36] <ubotu> The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[12:36] <slippyr4> why must i have root as non lvm ? thats what initrd is for
[12:36] <tony_> !multiple harddrives
[12:36] <zoli2k> tony_: If you want only simple add this drive to the system, it will be recognized without any  problem. O course, nor formating is needed.
[12:36] <Hemant> anyone can send the invitation of demonoid.com/ ? plz help
[12:36] <hoagie> One of my partitions (dev/sda2) appears as _PNG why?
[12:37] <tony_> thankz zoli2k
[12:37] <Frogzoo> slippyr4: sure you can, it's a question of what the installer can manage
[12:37] <zoli2k> Hemant: This is ubuntu forum, not demonoid.com forum.
[12:37] <slippyr4> hmmm. i think i will need the alternate cd. LVM tools aren't here
[12:37] <Frogzoo> hoagie: labele2fs
[12:37] <Tehlak> moin moin
[12:38] <Frogzoo> Hemant: apt-get install demonoid
[12:38] <hoagie> what is label2fs?
[12:39] <Frogzoo> hoagie: man labele2fs
[12:39] <extern> how can I set the gamma in xorg.conf file? If I set it through system settings->monitor & display->gamma, then it ruins my xorg.conf file and next time I restart my computer, the monitor doesn't show anything. I've set "gamma 1.17" in the monitor section, but when the kde starts, the monitor still displays it incorrectly, while monitor & display settings show the gamma value as 1.17. If I move the slider back and forth, so it is still 1.17 and
[12:39] <extern> push apply, then everything is displayed properly
[12:40] <hoagie> there is no command like label2fs
[12:40] <hoagie> and it has no manual...
[12:40] <Desp> yes
[12:40] <oclet> i'm drunk
[12:40] <oclet> bitches
[12:40] <Desp> done without problems
[12:40] <Frogzoo> hoagie: soz e2label
[12:40] <oclet> so drunk
[12:40] <oclet> apt-get install wasted
[12:41] <hoagie> ok thanks
[12:41] <Frogzoo> oclet: hit alt f4 to read ubotu's pm
[12:41] <hoagie> shall I reboot?
[12:41] <zoli2k> extern: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/xorg.conf.5.html
[12:41] <oclet> Frogzoo: ur a douche bag
[12:41] <oclet> and not funny
[12:41] <slippyr4> if i was to install to a regular HD, can I at a later date copy the files from my root partition to a different drive, update fstab, update grub / install grub on new drive, and be good to go? or is there more to it than that
[12:41] <oclet> and a dumbass
[12:41] <zoli2k> extern: you can set this in the Monitor Section with the Gamma option.
[12:42] <extern> I have set it
[12:42] <extern> but when the graphicafl environemt starts
[12:42] <bigbang14> i have a printer i cant find a driver for. its an inkjet. is there a list of drivers i should try? should i try and write my own ppd? or can i find my ppd on my windows installation disc?
[12:43] <extern> it seems as if it is ignoring that value
[12:43] <extern> though the monitor settings show the correct value set
[12:43] <zoli2k> slippyr4: Yes it is possible. It is a little bit tricky, but it can be done. You boot up a liveCD mount the two disk. Copy the whole root partition and install grub.
[12:44] <phatrabbit> where can i find info on how to uninstall my nvidia drivers
[12:44] <brosioz> anyone have superkaramba on gnome ?
[12:44] <tony_> so i just hooked up my other HD and tried to access it from Places>Computer>19.1GB Volume and it gave me this error :   error: device /dev/hda1 is not removable
[12:44] <tony_> error: could not execute pmount
[12:44] <Mattias> how do i get wxpython 2.8 if it isnt in the repos?
[12:44] <Daverocks> phatrabbit: you can just not use them, by specifying the driver "nv" in xorg.conf
[12:44] <tony_> any suggestions?
[12:44] <slippyr4> zoli2k. cool, i'll give it a go
[12:44] <zoli2k> slippyr4: but if you use 'cp' for copy be careful to do this with the --preserve flag
[12:44] <brosioz> anyone have superkaramba on gnome ? i can't run liquidwheter :|
[12:44] <Daverocks> phatrabbit: as opposed to the proprietary nvidia driver
[12:45] <zoli2k> slippyr4: this will preserve the original rights of files
[12:45] <slippyr4> surely cp -s wil do the job?
[12:45] <slippyr4> *** cp -a
[12:45] <bigbang14> how can i convert ogg to wma?
[12:45] <phatrabbit> Daverocks: yes
[12:45] <zoli2k> slippyr4: cp -r --preserve
[12:46] <phatrabbit> the updated drivers i have installed
[12:46] <zoli2k> slippyr4: Or you can use rsync
[12:46] <Daverocks> phatrabbit: did you want to roll back?
[12:46] <phatrabbit> yes to the defualt drivers
[12:46] <extern> does anyone have any idea why my desktop environment ignores the gamma value set in xorg.conf after it boots?
[12:46] <slippyr4> zoli2k: or i could use dd and then resize the filesystem
[12:46] <bigbang14> does anyone here have an olivetti any_way simple printer?
[12:47] <zoli2k> slippyr4: Yes, this is also an alternative.
[12:47] <tony_> zoli2k, would these instructions work for what i'm doing.. or anyone http://daryl.learnhouston.com/2006/05/03/adding-a-hard-drive-to-a-ubuntu-linux-box/
[12:47] <hoagie> e2label only works for ext parrtitions mine is fat32
[12:48] <zoli2k> slippyr4: but be carefull, in my edgy installation the fstab does not contain the name of devices like /dev/sda1 but the UUID of hardisk.
[12:48] <slippyr4> i've seen that too. where can you find out the uuid of a new disk?
[12:48] <zoli2k> slippyr4: so if you use dd, on the new disk this value may be different.
[12:48] <hoagie> so how can I make the partition to be displayed as Data instead of _PNG
[12:49] <Desp> I installd dc++ and limewire from sources and installd java but i still cant run dc++ or limewire

[01:03] <Mattias> Phatrabbit|2: btw, whats the error?
[01:03] <ardchoille> Has anyone gone to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ and looked at the fifth option in the Syntax drop down list? What's up with that?
[01:04] <Phatrabbit|2> it cant restart Xserver and you get the blue screen asking if u want to see the error
[01:04] <desp_> when I run nmap it show me that everything ok and 1 host up
[01:04] <zoli2k> desp_:  the /etc/resolv.conf contains the current DNS serves IP. Our you can set and control this by "network-admin" from the control panel.
[01:04] <Phatrabbit|2> i find it abit hard to grab that text and put it into a file
[01:04] <Mattias> Phatrabbit|2: do you use wacom tablet at all?
[01:04] <IdleOne> ardchoille, seems pastebin either get hacked or it's an actual syntax
[01:05] <Phatrabbit|2> not sure what wacom is sorry
[01:05] <ardchoille> IdleOne: Yeah
[01:05] <Mattias> Phatrabbit|2: okay, ill remove that too then ^_^
[01:05] <varkatope> Meltdown79: wine / crossover office
[01:05] <Phatrabbit|2> FYI: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-common sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[01:06] <Phatrabbit|2> oops
[01:06] <Phatrabbit|2> nvidia-glx is already the newest version.
[01:06] <Phatrabbit|2> nvidia-kernel-common is already the newest version.
[01:06] <Meltdown79> varkatope yepp, i have tried to follow those guides for wine, i got my photoshop to work but not dreamweaver mx2004
[01:06] <c1|freaky> hi all. is there anywhere a wiki page describing how i can make and use encrypted filesystems on a partition and how to use it and what the advantages and disadvantages are?
[01:06] <sadafds> hey pls click this link!! http://800Call.info/ptp.php?usr=confucio342

[01:07] <tanim> "device doesn't have read permissions for this account"
[01:07] <Mattias> Phatrabbit|2: this should work, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6209/   restart computer after that
[01:07] <Phatrabbit|2> CHEERS !
[01:07] <Mattias> Phatrabbit|2: if it doesnt, i need to know exact error message ^_^

[01:08] <Mattias> Phatrabbit|2: sec ill see what i can do about those
[01:08] <tanim> i should mention i am mounting the CD as a user
[01:08] <monzie> i followed all the step given in the ubuntu wiki to set it up
[01:08] <unop> tanim,  what exact command are you using?
[01:08] <babo> so I'm typing away on irc, and suddenly the window minimizes. This happens often.
[01:08] <monzie> and all it does it freezes up the system
[01:08] <babo> Also, the caret jumps to the cursor mark without me pressing anything :-(
[01:08] <monzie> help please!
[01:09] <Mattias> Phatrabbit|2: go to the bottom and copy everything from the lil window with all text in
[01:09] <babo> I've adjusted the touchpad sensitivity ( I think ) but the problem still happens. Am I the only one with this issue ? it's an edgy vanilla install ...
[01:09] <gansinho> hello, does anybody knows if the kubuntu bleeding edge package has still development packages or just the final releases?
[01:09] <zoli2k> desp_: you should set DNS to the value given by your internet provider.
[01:09] <Phatrabbit|2> ok np
[01:09] <Flannel> gansinho: what?  Feisty is alpha still.  If that's what you're asking
[01:10] <Flannel> gansinho: it just has the versions it'll release with
[01:10] <desp_> where
[01:10] <Phatrabbit|2> Mattias: ok before i go how can i get the exact error
[01:10] <monzie> how do i fix the ati binary driver problem?
[01:10] <Ubuntu85> ragazzi avrei bisogno di creare una tap virtuale sapete dirmi come procedere?
[01:10] <desp_> ok 1 sec
[01:10] <Mattias> Phatrabbit|2: look if its the 3d card device or any other device name in the blue screen
[01:10] <Flannel> !it | Ubuntu85
[01:10] <ubotu> Ubuntu85: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[01:10] <Ubuntu85> ok
[01:11] <gansinho> Flannel: nope, there are some repos called "kubuntu bleeding edge KDE" in source-o-matic and I wanna know if these sources has just fresh new packages for Kubuntu or development versions of the packages
[01:12] <Harksaw> So when I try to go to my bank's website, firefox always crashes. What's another browser that isn't likely to crash?
[01:12] <Phatrabbit|2> Mattias: usually i do somthing like cat cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf > xorg.txt   can i do somthing like that
[01:12] <monzie> can someone please tell me how to fix the binary driver problem?
[01:12] <unska_> okay guys im having some serious problems! i did a: mount -o loop filename.img /home/unska/ and now i cant access to my computer anymore, everything stopped working
[01:12] <Phatrabbit|2> where is that error written to
[01:12] <unska_> the mounting itself worked fine but i have lost the access to all files etc
[01:12] <Flannel> gansinho: bleeding edge usually means less than stable
[01:13] <phretor> hi there
[01:13] <Frogzoo> unska_: that was a really bad place to mount a cd
[01:13] <phretor> I've already posted my problem on #kubuntu: http://www.google.com/search?q=there+are+differences+between+boot+sector+and+its+backup+not+automatically
[01:13] <vorbote> unska_: you asked for it :-) quick solution "sudo telinit 1" and unmont the image file while in single user mode.
[01:13] <gansinho> Flannel: thanks!
[01:14] <Frogzoo> unska_: ctrl alt del - & don't mount the cd there next time
[01:14] <Flannel> gansinho: you might try asking in #kubuntu, they'll know more, because it's apparently their repository (http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-latest)
[01:14] <vorbote> unska_: or just reboot the machine.
[01:14] <gansinho> Flannel: thanks!
[01:14] <unska_> Frogzoo, im on alt+ctrl+f1 view
[01:14] <Mattias> Phatrabbit|2: usually logs is in /var/log somewhere
[01:14] <unska_> i cant log on to my account :p
[01:14] <unska_> i didnt restart my ubuntu though
[01:15] <unska_> would that fix it?
[01:15] <vorbote> unska_: yes
[01:15] <unska_> i should mount stuff to /mnt? :p
[01:15] <Watakach> hi everybody !
[01:15] <Flannel> unska_: /media is standard on ubuntu (well, a subdir thereof)
[01:16] <vorbote> unska_: that's the canonical mounitng point. /media is used by the gnome vfs server
[01:16] <Phatrabbit|2> Frogzoo: when xserver screws up and you get the blue screen asking if u want to check the error what path does that error get saved to
[01:16] <Mattias> Phatrabbit|2: /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:16] <ardchoille> IdleOne: That's actually a programming language. Wikipedia has an article about it.
[01:16] <Frogzoo> unska_: 'sudo umount /home/unska'
[01:16] <Phatrabbit|2> cheers
[01:16] <Phatrabbit|2> ok gonna give it a go now
[01:16] <IdleOne> ardchoille, lmao well ok then
[01:17] <jazz__________> hi
[01:17] <IdleOne> !hi jazz__________
[01:18] <Watakach> Hello, I    got a big probleme... my menu.lst is  is empty....
[01:18] <zoli2k> how can I protect a package to be upgraded? I installed a deb package from debian sarge with  higher version number.
[01:18] <Flannel> !pin | zoli2k
[01:18] <ubotu> zoli2k: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
[01:18] <Watakach> if someone want to help me, it will be realy nnice
[01:19] <zoli2k> Flannel: Thx
[01:19] <jazz__________> gaim crashes every time i start a discussion with a msn user
[01:19] <Flannel> zoli2k: but, mixing debian/ubuntu isn't a very good idea.  They aren't guarenteed binary compatability.  Just, something to be aware of
[01:19] <Frogzoo> Phatrabbit|2: /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:19] <IdleOne> Watakach, what did you do before the list got emtied?
[01:19] <Intensity> Hi. I'm getting RAID errors like "sdc2 has same UUID but different superblock to sda2; sdc2 has different UUID to sda2" when booting.  sd[a-d] 2 are a RAID6 that worked fine previously.  Temporarily one of the drives couldn't be seen properly with another kernel.  Does this mean that some kind of drive renumbering took place transparently?
[01:19] <cbx33> what's up Watakach
[01:19] <jazz__________> gaim crashes every time i start a discussion with a msn user
[01:19] <cbx33> ask your question
[01:19] <mkay__> hi guys. i installed edgy. my problm is, that my pci and usb dont work. in dapper i have startet with usb=bios pci=bios in the kernel-parameters. how i have to start in edgy?
[01:20] <ardchoille> jazz__________: We heard you
[01:20] <Watakach> i try to make a nother boot with a script grubed
[01:20] <jazz__________> wha i have to do?
[01:20] <Watakach> so now im on knoppix to put my backup file of menu.lst
[01:20] <xopher-> jazz__________, isnt there some less annoying nickname available? :| Just a thought
[01:20] <staar2> hello
[01:20] <ardchoille> xopher-: Thank you
[01:21] <staar2> how can i use ira in ubuntu
[01:21] <jazz__________> less annoying nickname??jazz rocks!!
[01:21] <IdleOne> ira?
[01:21] <staar2> i need to use ira with nokia 5100 ???
[01:21] <zoli2k> Flannel: It is the libyaz-dev package, so it should be fine I think.
[01:21] <staar2> infrared connection
[01:21] <iturk> hi there guys is there a way to replace the lilo in the masterboot again after another OS has been placed there  ?
[01:21] <jose> hola
[01:21] <IdleOne> jazz__________, jazz rocks fine the ___________ that is wasted space and takes up room on my screen is annoying
[01:22] <jazz__________> ok
[01:22] <IdleOne> ty :)
[01:22] <Flannel> iturk: you'll just have to re-install lilo
[01:22] <staar2> :-!
[01:22] <jose> alguien habla espaol ?
[01:22] <Flannel> !es | jose
[01:22] <ubotu> jose: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[01:22] <staar2> i need to use ira with nokia 5100 ???
[01:22] <unska_> Frogzoo, vorbote thanks, everything is perfect again hehe
[01:23] <ardchoille> jazz_time: W00T! :)
[01:23] <IdleOne> jazz_time, better :)
[01:23] <jose> okok
[01:23] <jazz_time> lol
[01:23] <iturk> Flannel: ok i will try
[01:23] <Watakach> IdleOne: I cant put my backup file of menu.lst, because its a read only file system (im try to do it on knoppix)
[01:24] <arno__> lo i m new user under linux
[01:24] <unop> Watakach,  mount your drive a read/write (on knoppix)
[01:24] <arno__> it's great
[01:24] <IdleOne> Watakach, sorry dont know how to fix that
[01:24] <unop> as*
[01:24] <IdleOne> arno__, welcome
[01:24] <Watakach> unop, i did chmod, but it doesnt want to change
[01:24] <jazz_time> so,What have i to do whit gaim?it crashes every time a msn user inveites me to a chat...
[01:25] <humbolto> I am having apt authentication problems over and over again with EDGY repos! What might be the reason?
[01:25] <Phatrabbit|2> Mattias: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6213/
[01:25] <humbolto> edgy and edgy backports
[01:25] <Phatrabbit|2> no luck with ur config
[01:25] <IdleOne> jazz_time, you can use Amsn sudo aptitutde install amsn
[01:25] <sebrock> does anyone know how I swap channels in Alsa+
[01:25] <sebrock> ?
[01:25] <jazz_time> now i use amsn but i gaim is better
[01:25] <Watakach> unop, i cant write one this file...
[01:25] <unop> Watakach,  no no, on the desktop, click your drive/device, right click, mount -> as read/write (or what it's named there)
[01:26] <Watakach> ok i try
[01:26] <desp_> zoli2k: I have 2 dns in my resolv.config and no one of them my isp ip
[01:26] <Intensity> Also, ubuntu install cd is not recognizing the SATA disk.  sd[a-c]  show only when I boot from the CD.  But the kernel is showing all 4 sd[a-d] .  There is one of the four drives that initialize separately in BIOS.  The system was working before but somehow the RAID superblocks have been modified.  And I'm getting the errors I described above.  Any ideas?
[01:26] <desp_> should i remove them both ?
[01:26] <Mattias> Phatrabbit|2: it fails to open glx drivers
[01:26] <unop> Watakach,  knoppix mounts devices are read-only by default, if you want to change anything, you must remount them as read/write
[01:26] <Phatrabbit|2> yup
[01:27] <Phatrabbit|2> where was your pastebin config again mattias i want to double check somthing
[01:27] <Mattias> Phatrabbit|2: i installed my nvidia with beryl, and it worked, maybe you could try it too http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu_Edgy_with_nVidia
[01:28] <Phatrabbit|2> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6213/
[01:28] <Phatrabbit|2> i got it
[01:28] <iturk> Flannel: i have this option for lilo in the man -> lilo.real -M /dev/XXX [ mbr | ext ]       install master boot record !!!! so the device should be hda, do you think its correct ?
[01:28] <Mattias> Phatrabbit|2: xorg.conf is okay, its not that
[01:28] <unop> Intensity,  is that the live CD or alternate CD?
[01:28] <Mattias> Phatrabbit|2: well i gotta go, try that guide and it should work
[01:28] <Mattias> good luck
[01:28] <Phatrabbit|2> ok thanks for ur help
[01:28] <Phatrabbit|2> cheers
[01:30] <Intensity> unop: It's server install.
[01:31] <unska_> Frogzoo, so how should i mount this image now?
[01:31] <Intensity> unop: I could reboot the machine again and let you know the separate screen information that is given for that particular SATA device...
[01:31] <unop> Intensity,  that'd definitely help in troubleshooting
[01:31] <Intensity> unop: But, the real mystery is how the UUID changed...  In any case, I need to fix it to be consistent.
[01:31] <unop> Intensity,  ahh, UUID problem
[01:31] <Watakach> unop, thx it wasnt put read write , but its steal downst make it.. but i will try other thigs now i can write.. i must go dinner see ya
[01:32] <KennyR> what kind of Media Player can play WMA, MP3, etc
[01:32] <Frogzoo> unska_: 'sudo mkdir /mnt ; sudo mount -o loop blah.iso /mnt'
[01:32] <unop> Intensity,  well, is this a UUID problem in relation to something like /etc/fstab?
[01:32] <unska_> Frogzoo, why not use the /media ?
[01:32] <Phatrabbit|2> Frogzoo: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6213/
[01:32] <Phatrabbit|2> any ideas on how to get it to load glx properly
[01:33] <unop> Intensity,  in most cases, it's safe to use the old-style device names instead of UUIDs, perhaps you could try that
[01:33] <Frogzoo> unska_: that's for HAL
[01:33] <Intensity> unop: jmicron pcie-to-sataii-ide raid controller
[01:33] <unska_> Frogzoo, what his this HAL?
[01:33] <desp_> zoli2k: I did but i still cant reach the host from othe box
[01:33] <unska_> btw i had the /mnt on default
[01:33] <Frogzoo> unop: grub gets cranky if you do that
[01:34] <zoli2k> desp_: can you ping the IP ?
[01:34] <Frogzoo> !hal
[01:34] <ubotu> hal: Hardware Abstraction Layer. In component main, is optional. Version 0.5.7.1-0ubuntu17 (edgy), package size 347 kB, installed size 1112 kB
[01:34] <desp_> from the linux box
[01:34] <zoli2k> desp_: yes
[01:34] <desp_> yes i can
[01:34] <desp_> and the host too
[01:34] <desp_> how to stop the ping
[01:34] <unop> Frogzoo,  errm, i've never seen that happen -- i've grub get cranky when the device the UUID points to changes and is no longer available, and thats extremely annoying, i dont see the point to UUIds
[01:35] <zoli2k> desp_: CTRL-C
[01:35] <Intensity> unop: I'm not specifying anything manually; the boot doesn't get anywhere.  I get the messages about UUID's being differently upon kernel bootup.
[01:35] <desp_> 41 packets transmitted, 41 received, 0% packet loss, time 40048ms
[01:36] <unop> Intensity,  well, let us know the exact messages as you seen them
[01:36] <desp_> so ?
[01:36] <koregaonpark> hey all. can someone tell me how to prevent my slave hard disk from mounting to /media? I'm going to be formatting that drive and putting windows on it...
[01:37] <desp_> and i cant even ssh the box from local (my lapto)
[01:37] <Phatrabbit|2> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6213/  can anyone help with my nvidia driver issue
[01:38] <dcordes> koregaonpark: remove the relating line in /etc/fstab
[01:38] <Intensity> unop: I'm getting RAID errors like "sdc2 has same UUID but different superblock to sda2; sdc2 has different UUID to sda2" when booting.  sd[a-d] 2 are a RAID6 that worked fine previously.
[01:38] <desp_> hrmmm
[01:38] <koregaonpark> dcordes, ah okay. so i would have to open it in gedit right? sudo gedit /etc/fstab?
[01:40] <unop> Intensity,  ok, from the previous few lines before that messages, what does linux appear to be doing? is it verifying something or trying to mount this RAID device?
[01:41] <Intensity> unop: It's mounting the RAID device because it's a RAID6 for the root filesystem.  It worked before, so I'm not sure what changed.  And, any idea why I can't see the last drive when I boot into rescue mode with the CD?
[01:42] <Frogzoo> unop: sudo update-grub will helpfully replace your device names with the UUID
[01:42] <dcordes> koregaonpark: damn right
[01:42] <dcordes> !fstab | koregaonpark
[01:42] <ubotu> koregaonpark: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[01:42] <koregaonpark> dcordes, thanks!
[01:42] <dcordes> koregaonpark: no problem mate
[01:44] <unop> Intensity,  I'm not really sure about the missing drive in rescue mode -- doesnt linux have anything to say about this drive while booting up into rescue mode? does hdparm list any information about them once in rescue mode
[01:45] <fstarter> ??
[01:45] <fstarter> !!
[01:45] <Intensity> unop: No, no information is reported.  Only sda through sdc appear in any dmesg output.  No sdd information shows at all.  But when I boot the other kernel, it does show.
[01:45] <dcordes> Intensity: define previously
[01:45] <kestaz> how to upgrade to feisty ?
[01:45] <fstarter>      ....
[01:45] <dcordes> what's that? korean?
[01:45] <koregaonpark> hey dcordes, hdb1 only shows up in /media and not in the fstab file.
[01:45] <koregaonpark> dcordes, can i just go ahead and wipe out hdb1 and install windows?
[01:45] <steff> my problem: sometimes i start and i can see only the brown ubuntu background the mousepointer - and for a very short time i can hear the start up sound - after taht a restart approx. 2 times more and it works
[01:46] <dcordes> koregaonpark: what in media is it? /media/hdb1 ?
[01:46] <unop> Intensity,  by other kernel, do you mean normal mode? because there's a difference
[01:47] <koregaonpark> dcordes, i have my secondary hard disk (80 gb) mounted in /media/hdb1
[01:47] <Intensity> dcordes: I set up Annvix just early today and it booted fine.  I then added two IDE drives temporarily.  This shifted renumbering or threw something off.  (Or perhaps this was because one of the drives wasn't attached all the way).. But ever since then, while I get grub to load, I don't get any defaults loaded.  So I have to enter the command line myself.  Annvix ships with another 2.6 kernel that is recognizing the drive.  But now it's not getting 
[01:47] <dcordes> koregaonpark: ah sure you can :) but i should inform you, that when you first install linux and then windows, windows will overwrite your master boot record which includes grub
[01:47] <dcordes> !grub | koregaonpark
[01:47] <ubotu> koregaonpark: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto

[01:47] <extern> has anyone managed to access cell phones' file system?
[01:47] <Phatrabbit|2> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6213/  can anyone help with my nvidia driver issue
[01:47] <koregaonpark> dcordes, ohh damn! i need to be able to access my primary installation of ubuntu edgy!
[01:48] <koregaonpark> dcordes, thanks for the links!
[01:48] <KennyR> Does anyone know where to get some XMMS Themes/Skins??
[01:48] <pablo_> hi! how do i join ubuntu box to a windows 2003 domain?
[01:49] <dcordes> koregaonpark: it is a bit tricky restoring GRUB after a windows installation when you are new. but when you read all that stuff you should be able to do it
[01:49] <Steil> KennyR: They're the same as winamp classic skins, check winamp.com
[01:49] <unop> pablo_,  http://google.com/linux :)
[01:49] <ghatak> Phatrabbit|2: looks like your driver is not installed correctly
[01:49] <KennyR> Steil, You can load Winamp skins into XMMS?
[01:49] <koregaonpark> dcordes, okay... it doesn't look too hard, i have a dapper live cd
[01:49] <Steil> KennyR: Winamp classic
[01:49] <Steil> not the modern skins
[01:49] <Spee_Der> KennyR, sudo apt-get install xmms-skins
[01:49] <KennyR> sweet
[01:49] <KennyR> thanks
[01:49] <dcordes> KennyR: xmms uses the same format. i have the good oldskool skin here
[01:49] <Steil> you can also load equalizer presets fro winamp
[01:50] <KennyR> So I cant load the modern themes??
[01:50] <KennyR> =(
[01:50] <dcordes> koregaonpark: there you go. that's all you need
[01:50] <KennyR> I have the Blues, Modern Theme
[01:50] <dcordes> dunno
[01:50] <dcordes> i only have the good old winamp one
[01:50] <Steil> modern themes wont work
[01:50] <koregaonpark> dcordes, thanks again, i'll let you know how it goes...
[01:50] <Koelkast> hello

[01:51] <dcordes> !ask | Koelkast
[01:51] <ubotu> Koelkast: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:51] <Koelkast> already made a forum post about it, but decided to ask it here as well :D
[01:51] <KennyR> Is there a way to minimize XMMS to a tray icon?
[01:51] <Phatrabbit|2> ghatak: i have installed them .. i think
[01:51] <steff> no ideas ?
[01:51] <Koelkast> Well I just installed xubuntu 6.10 and it comes with gxine, and well I just downloaded the win32 codecs
[01:51] <Phatrabbit|2> ghatak: i just installed the deb package for the latest drivers
[01:52] <Koelkast> and If i run a mpeg file, it only gives me video, no sound, altough I get sound when playing wav files, so Its not the sound settings I think
[01:52] <dcordes> KennyR: i once used a program called alltray. i was able to put everything in tray with it! very nice tool. you just install it and run the programs you want in tray with "alltray programname"
[01:52] <KennyR> dcordes, Do you know where I can get this tool?
[01:52] <Koelkast> and mp3s dont work either, i also tried to install totem, but it gives less result then gxine does :/
[01:53] <Crippy-Boy> keolkast, look at restricted formats on the wiki
[01:53] <Intensity> unop: Hmm. The jmicron pcie-to-sataii-ide raid controller state of affairs looks pretty ugly.  Still, I don't know why it wouldn't be seen in a later 2.6 kernel...
[01:53] <KennyR> Koelkast, im using XMMS and its playing my mp3's mastered... iv never heard my songs sound so better
[01:53] <dcordes> KennyR: not really. i would have to google it too
[01:53] <dcordes> there are debs!
[01:53] <Phatrabbit|2> .12-28.1_i386.deb
[01:53] <KennyR> dcordes, Do you know the name at least?
[01:53] <Koelkast> yes I read all that, and i installed the win32 codecs, but i think its weird i dont get sound on mpeg files but do get video
[01:54] <Phatrabbit|2> ghatak: i done  sudo dpkg -i nvidia-glx_1.0.8776+2.6.15.12-28.1_i386.deb
[01:54] <Crippy-Boy> Depends which codec the video is using for sound
[01:54] <dcordes> KennyR: ah you should read what i say :P
[01:54] <KennyR> dcordes, Nevermind, I seen your above comment, its called alltray, correct/
[01:54] <desp_> zoli2k: the file interfaces is empty ..../etc/network/interfaces
[01:54] <desp_>  what should i have there
[01:54] <desp_> ?
[01:55] <dcordes> yep yep
[01:55] <desp_> my ip ?
[01:55] <KennyR> dcordes, Yeah.. there was alot going on ATM..
[01:55] <koregaonpark> dcordes, i have only 1 linux partition, you think it's wise to use super grub disc?
[01:55] <KennyR> dcordes, im sorry..
[01:55] <dcordes> KennyR: nvm
[01:55] <koregaonpark> dcordes, i mean only 1 linux install
[01:55] <dcordes> koregaonpark: yes super grub disc saved my as* several times
[01:55] <zoli2k> desp: configure your network with "sudo network-admin"
[01:55] <ghatak> Phatrabbit|2: depends which card you got .....
[01:55] <koregaonpark> dcordes, okay, great!
[01:55] <unop> Intensity,  well, from what you have told me, it looks like a UUID clash if thats how this controller works (i.e. assinging UUID to the various devices)  or it appears that your disk might have dropped out of the array configuration and the device has detected that it has a different superblock as a result
[01:55] <dcordes> koregaonpark: if you won't be able to restore it with SGD you will at least be able to boot
[01:55] <Koelkast> what about VLC should I try that?
[01:56] <desp_> ok then
[01:56] <mackinac> VLC plays almost everything without needing to install codecs
[01:56] <unop> Intensity,  s/device/controller/
[01:56] <dcordes> Koelkast: depends on what you are going to do with it
[01:56] <Phatrabbit|2> i have a 6600 GT
[01:56] <Koelkast> alright, just playing user submitted videos
[01:56] <dcordes> mackinac: except w32 stuff
[01:56] <Koelkast> alright lemme try that
[01:57] <desp_> what about domain name its empty should i put my host there ?
[01:57] <Koelkast> k installing it atm
[01:57] <Intensity> unop: I think that it may have been renumbered (swapping sdc and sdd).  But that wouldn't explain all of the errors I got because it was comparing sda to sdX where X is in b, c, d.
[01:58] <koregaonpark> dcordes, just 1 thing...  will hdb1 still mount at /media after i install windows?
[01:58] <unop> Intensity,  it's likely that that drive that it is complaining about is failing/ is about to fail .. you should use SMART to rule that out
[01:58] <dcordes> koregaonpark: yep
[01:58] <dcordes> most likely
[01:58] <mackinac> dcordes, I don't know about all, but it plays some win stuff
[01:58] <Koelkast> Btw I also searched alot of this problem, even tough i tried alsa mixer and everything, i cant get surround to work, on a Realtek AC97, people say its impossible on some forums, so best choice is to buy a sound card?
[01:59] <koregaonpark> dcordes, okay, so ill most probably be able to access my win partition?
[01:59] <linc> i've searched and searched and can't find out how to NOT have certain modules loaded at boot up
[01:59] <dcordes> koregaonpark: indeed
[01:59] <mackinac> i have it playing wma right now
[01:59] <dcordes> bbl
[01:59] <unop> Intensity,  well, that doesnt explain why 3 devices are detected normally and one isnt

[02:01] <Wooksta> thanks
[02:01] <Koelkast> vlc plays it perfectly
[02:01] <aardvark972> hello
[02:01] <linc> can anyone help me out? there are a few kernel modules i don't want ran at bootup. they block me from using ndiswrapper
[02:01] <Koelkast> I also installed the mozilla plugin for vlcplayer
[02:01] <Koelkast> thx alot :D
[02:01] <Koelkast> Altough I still wonna fix gxine :p
[02:02] <aardvark972> I have installed ubuntu 6.10 on my thinkpad t40 laptop; I am looking for a way to configure the built-in wireless card
[02:02] <mackinac> plays wmv too . . .
[02:02] <aardvark972> some forums say that the built-in card is unsupported, but those are relatively old
[02:02] <Koelkast> oh yes, darn totem is still standard media player
[02:02] <Koelkast> how do I change it to VLC?
[02:02] <aardvark972> is that really so? or is there a way to make it work...
[02:02] <aardvark972> ?
[02:02] <DGilmour> hi everybody
[02:03] <Intensity> unop: But the partial recognition is only an issue when I am using ubuntu.  I am only using ubuntu for the purposes of recovery.  I can't burn another CD at the moment.  So I'm just guessing that it is not supported in ubuntu.  The main problem is what caused the UUID's to change.  And why I'm not getting a real menu in grub anymore.  And, why I'm not able to mount the RAID6 root filesystem.
[02:03] <DGilmour> I'm learning to develop gui applications on Linux
[02:03] <DGilmour> could anyone tell me a good work or web resource for it?
[02:03] <DGilmour> for now I'm trying glade
[02:03] <Koelkast> If I got VLC now, do I still need xine / or totem?  or Can I delete those?
[02:03] <linc> no one can help me out with my kernel modules problem?
[02:03] <mackinac> Koelkast:  R-click on a media file, properties, open with
[02:04] <mackinac> deleting totem will break ubuntu-desktop metapackage
[02:04] <Koelkast> thx Mack, sorry cant pm, not registered
[02:04] <mackinac> not a huge problem except for dist upgrade
[02:04] <Koelkast> ok
[02:05] <desp_> Usage:program_name [address] [:port]  what is this mean ?
[02:05] <Koelkast> well got enough HD space anyways, wont delete totem then :D
[02:06] <elkbuntu> !register | Koelkast, registering is easy
[02:06] <ubotu> Koelkast, registering is easy: Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration

[02:06] <Enselic``> desp_: [this]  means "not obligatory"
[02:06] <desp_> why do i need it
[02:06] <desp_> ok
[02:07] <desp_> should i restart networking now ?
[02:07] <Enselic``> desp_: I dont know why you need it, I dont know what program you refer to
[02:07] <fiveiron> http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS2657814070.html
[02:07] <Koelkast> k done
[02:07] <Koelkast> I registered :D
[02:08] <unop> Intensity,  I'm not sure how this controller works -- I have a feeling that what happens here is linux reads the superblock of the devices and based on it, assigns them into the RAID array of a mapped UUID .. but since one of the drive reports another superblock now, linux is complaining
[02:09] <Intensity> unop: The error message I got the from the kernel is already self-contradictory.
[02:09] <Intensity> unop: It says that the UUID is the same and that it is different.
[02:10] <yaman> where can i find a driver for this (ATI SB400 - AC'97 Modem)
[02:11] <Enselic``> What's the easiest way to try the 2.6.20 kernel?

[02:11] <Enselic``> yeniklasor: do you have any video[0]  in /dev/*?
[02:11] <Richard> i am using hp laptop now!
[02:11] <yeniklasor> no
[02:12] <yeniklasor> Richard : Did you do anything manual for webcam driver?
[02:13] <Richard> why i cant use Fn+f7 and Fn+f8,it's nothing!
[02:13] <Richard> oh ,i know, if you are use ubuntu,the webcam can be use
[02:13] <unop> Intensity,  there'sa difference in UUID and superblock .. it's reporting the same UUID for the devices but that hdcX reports a different superblock .. in any case, I'm not really sure how to go on from here, it might be as simple as reassigning hdcX back into the set or it could be that hdcX is failing/failed .. ic ant be sure
[02:14] <xtknight> Richard: what are fn+f7 and fn+f8 supposed to do?
[02:14] <yeniklasor> lights
[02:14] <yeniklasor> I can use that
[02:14] <Richard> it's dark and light
[02:14] <xtknight> dark and light, what?
[02:14] <xtknight> oh brightness and contrast?
[02:15] <yeniklasor> yes
[02:15] <xtknight> yeah those keys just don't work sometimes since they use software hooks
[02:15] <Richard> yes
[02:15] <Intensity> unop: When I changed the configuration in BIOS from basic to the other mode (I forget what it's called), I now get in ubuntu: /dev/sdb: SCSI2 (0,0,0) (sdb) - 327.7 kB ATA Config Disk.  What on earth would that mean?  A 327.7 kB disk drive?  It's sitting beside the other three 300GB disks.  Any idea what that means???
[02:16] <yeniklasor> System-->Preferences-->Keyboard
[02:16] <yeniklasor> choose true one
[02:16] <Richard> what's choose?
[02:17] <unop> Intensity,  I'm quite convinced at this moment that the disk is "dead" .. perhaps you have some SCSI tools that your HDD's vendor has given you, use that to test the drive
[02:17] <yeniklasor> And ubuntu don't support my Raid 0 harddisks
[02:17] <yeniklasor> Richard : There is HP drivers
[02:17] <xtknight> yeniklasor: what raid0 controller?
[02:17] <yeniklasor> you can try :)
[02:18] <yeniklasor> yes raid0
[02:18] <xtknight> which controller?
[02:18] <yeniklasor> 80 GB+80 GB samsung harddisks With raid 0
[02:18] <praveer_fedora> is there audio support for intel 865gvhz board on ubuntu 6.06lts?
[02:18] <yeniklasor> and ntfs
[02:19] <Intensity> unop: Well, it's not SCSI; it's SATA.  And, the drives are now.  And, they are being recognized when I boot the other 2.6 kernel (where I see sda through sdd).  It's only under ubuntu where I do not see sdd.
[02:20] <yeniklasor> xtknight : What do you mean with controller?
[02:20] <Richard> it's hp v3212TU,what should i choose?
[02:20] <yeniklasor> VIA raid tolls ?
[02:20] <Koelkast> hmmm my boxes are crackling a bit tough
[02:20] <Koelkast> with vlc
[02:21] <Phatrabbit|2> Hi all if i have a AMD 64+ Geforce 6600 GT which one do i download from http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
[02:21] <unop> Intensity,  I've seen "dead" drives report anomalous sizes .. and you seem to have that too .. SCSI or SATA (the error message there is a little misleading) you should verify the consistency of this drive at this point
[02:21] <xtknight> praveer_fedora: it's the ALC202A chipset.  i think alsa may support it, but i'm not sure
[02:21] <xtknight> yeniklasor: no, what chipset for the raid0?
[02:21] <praveer_fedora> there are drivers for Redhat, Novell or SUSE but none for debian based ones @ http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/Product_Filter.aspx?ProductID=1704&lang=eng
[02:21] <mackinac> boxes?
[02:22] <Richard> yeniklasor it's hp v3212TU,what should i choose?
[02:22] <xtknight> yeniklasor: via onboard raid i assume?
[02:22] <yeniklasor> yes
[02:22] <Intensity> unop: But under Ubuntu it's clearly marked separately from the other drives - with the string "ATA Config Disk".  So that can't be because of what the actual drive is reporting.  And, the partition table shows fine when I boot the other kernel.
[02:22] <yeniklasor> Richard : wait
[02:22] <Phatrabbit|2> Hi all if i have a AMD 64+ Geforce 6600 GT which one do i download from http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
[02:22] <xtknight> praveer_fedora: it should work in the latest alsa with the intel 8x0 driver
[02:22] <Richard> so what should i choose?
[02:23] <ashaman> Phatrabbit|2: I would not recomend installing nvidia drivers that way

[02:26] <Phatrabbit|2> i have a 64bit AMD processor
[02:26] <praveer_fedora> xtknight: yup
[02:26] <Phatrabbit|2> but i would say its running at 32
[02:26] <Watakach> unop, so you were write it was in read only and coudlnt write..
[02:26] <xtknight> praveer_fedora: well it looks like his card is detected.  have him type "sudo lshw -class sound | grep driver="
[02:27] <Watakach> unop, i put every possible write and then made a chmod, but it tell : "chmod:changing permissions of menu.lst : Read-only file system

[02:27] <_nnx_> Or actually, to be more specific...
[02:27] <_nnx_> It looks like the consoles are THERE but there's no way to login on any of them.
[02:27] <ashaman> it will show you how to do it
[02:27] <_nnx_> They're just blank with a cursor blinking.
[02:28] <linc> thanks again xtknight
[02:28] <unop> Watakach,  you havent mounted the drive properly as "read/write" if its still complaining about a "Read-only file system" .. if you do a "mount" command, you should ideally see the drive marked "rw"

[02:36] <mastermixer> IdleOne, i'm gonna do it now, thanks for the attention.. if you happen to remember the name of a good application for that, please let me know of it
[02:36] <larson9999> been using gnome regularly for a month or so now.  got about 12 years of linux under my belt.  the question i have is, "why the heck is it so hard to configure anything in gnome?"
[02:37] <IdleOne> mastermixer, yup np
[02:37] <larson9999> s/anything/everything
[02:37] <Phatrabbit|2> its ok its /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:37] <xtknight> larson9999: probably because you haven't been using gnome for 12 years.  gnome!= linux :)
[02:37] <MsK`> hi
[02:37] <mackinac> mastermixer:  i think "audio tag tool" might be worth lookin at
[02:37] <ashaman> Phatrabbit : /etc/apt/
[02:37] <xtknight> larson9999: what specifically did you find difficult?
[02:38] <MsK`> does (k)ubuntu edgy cd has rt61 module ?
[02:38] <Frogzoo> larson9999: you don't say what your problem is
[02:38] <Phatrabbit|2> ashaman:  how can i use apt-get to get that file
[02:38] <larson9999> xtknight: no, not gnome for 12 years straight.  but off and on.  but many desktops so i have a decent frame of reference.
[02:39] <xtknight> larson9999: i haven't had to mess around with gnome much, but in general i find the gnome desktop very easy to configure and use.  most dialogs are simple and straight-forward.  give me an example ?
[02:39] <ashaman> Phatrabbit : once you have the repo added do a sudo apt-get update
[02:39] <cbx33> larson9999, on that note
[02:39] <larson9999> xtknight: sure, i'll give some example
[02:39] <Phatrabbit|2> ta
[02:39] <ashaman> Phatrabbit : then sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[02:39] <cbx33> I wanted to change the taskbar panel font colour
[02:39] <cbx33> you can't do that
[02:40] <xtknight> cbx33: you probably can with a theme file
[02:40] <cbx33> can gnome and kde live side by side nicely?
[02:40] <ashaman> It will install the lastest drivers from the new repo
[02:40] <xtknight> cbx33: yes
[02:40] <HentaiSushi> lol
[02:40] <cbx33> xtknight, tried it.....but then I didn't spend muh time
[02:40] <xtknight> cbx33: i dont know of any other desktop that lets you change font color on the taskbar though.  does kde?
[02:40] <cbx33> no idea
[02:40] <cbx33> xtknight, but it is possible I know cos fedora do it
[02:40] <agliv5> Greetings all :) Is it possible to create 5 Partitions when installing Ubuntu 6.1?
[02:40] <xtknight> i dont think you can dock gnome for that
[02:40] <cbx33> xtknight, oh no
[02:40] <cbx33> I love gnome
[02:40] <cbx33> I develop all my apps for gnome
[02:40] <xtknight> cbx33: possible with fedora and gnome?
[02:41] <larson9999> xtknight: the icons on the desktop.  i'd like to change the size en masse, i only see a way to change the sizes one by one
[02:41] <cbx33> xtknight, yes
[02:41] <xtknight> cbx33: ah complain to ubuntu then ;P
[02:41] <cbx33> xtknight, heh
[02:41] <Kajin> Can I make an SSH connection with the Place > Connect to Server.. window and then delete it from my desktop while still having it under Places?
[02:41] <mackinac> you can tweek gnome a ton if you don't mind mucking through the theme xml
[02:41] <PoHxD> where can i find a mouse-driver for logitech mx518 (ubuntu linux)
[02:41] <xtknight> larson9999: alright.  hmm, lets see
[02:41] <cbx33> Kajin, I just turn my dsktop off
[02:41] <Watakach> unop, thx a lot i think its  work now !!!
[02:41] <cbx33> xtknight, is it just a case of.....apt-get install kde-desktop?
[02:41] <cbx33> sorry
[02:41] <Watakach> i had just to unmount and mount the disk.... THX A LOT
[02:41] <xtknight> cbx33: er im' not sure
[02:41] <cbx33> kubuntu-desktop
[02:41] <cbx33> heh
[02:42] <larson9999> xtknight: there is an option that restores them all to original size but not one to resize them all at once.  at least it's not in the same place.
[02:42] <PoHxD> where can i find a mouse-driver for logitech mx518 (ubuntu linux)
[02:42] <PoHxD> where can i find a mouse-driver for logitech mx518 (ubuntu linux)

[02:42] <dave1> hi, can anyone please tell me how to restart X in ubuntu 6.10 using bash, "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" doesnt work
[02:42] <cbx33> larson9999, is there not an option in the gconf editor?
[02:42] <xtknight> PoHxD: one's included
[02:42] <Frogzoo> PoHxD: you don't need a mouse driver
[02:42] <oddipoddi> anyone know if ubuntustudio is an OS by it self like kubuntu or is it an "expansion" to ubuntu?
[02:42] <PoHxD> it doesnt work :S
[02:42] <Watakach> unop, im gonna try it im gonna reboot ! thx again !
[02:42] <PoHxD> the muse isnt even turned on
[02:42] <Frogzoo> !mouse | PoHxD read the example mouse config
[02:42] <ubotu> PoHxD read the example mouse config: Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto  - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto
[02:42] <xtknight> dave1: it should.  what happens when you type that command?
[02:43] <xtknight> dave1: is your X broken?
[02:43] <PoHxD> tnx
[02:43] <mastermixer> mackinac, "audio tag tool" seems to be a great app indeed, but doesn't have a package listed on synaptic
[02:43] <Watakach> unop, byebye
[02:43] <xtknight> larson9999: you're right on that one.  there is no dialog to customize icon size afaik
[02:43] <dave1> xtknight the screen goes black and a "_" prompt flashes at me
[02:43] <Phatrabbit|2> ashaman: ok i done sudo apt-get update but it didnt download anything, so it proberly thinks i have the latest realease
[02:43] <matason> Anyone running PDT Eclipse on Ubuntu 6.06? It's really slow!!
[02:43] <xtknight> dave1: looks like your X is broken.  type 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' and then 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart'
[02:43] <larson9999> xtknight: editing the start menu with the 'edit menus' dialog you get from right clicking the start button only says, "show" and "don't show"
[02:43] <mackinac> hmm, do you have universe and multiverse active?
[02:43] <matason> Almost unusable
[02:43] <oddipoddi> anyone know if ubuntustudio is an OS by it self like kubuntu or is it an "expansion" to ubuntu?
[02:44] <dave1> ctrl-alt-backspace works fine tho
[02:44] <xtknight> larson9999: double click a menu item to edit it
[02:44] <xtknight> larson9999: ( or right click, props )
[02:45] <mackinac> mastermixer: package name = tagtool ... sorry :)
[02:45] <xtknight> matason: is regular eclipse slow too?
[02:45] <larson9999> cbx33: maybe there is but why wouldn't be in the same menu as the 'restore all'?
[02:45] <babo> when i plug in my headphones, they don't work
[02:45] <cbx33> true
[02:45] <ashaman> Phatrabbit: you need to do a sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[02:45] <babo> my normal speaker sound works fine though
[02:45] <zyth> What's that DVD ripping program that comes with Kubuntu?
[02:45] <ashaman> Phatrabbit: then reboot
[02:45] <mastermixer> mackinac, installing it, thank you =)
[02:46] <Enselic``> zyth: K3B?
[02:46] <Phatrabbit|2> ahh thats what i needed
[02:46] <Phatrabbit|2> thanks
[02:46] <larson9999> xtknight: when i right click an item in the start menu there are only options to add it to different places.  no edit option.
[02:46] <dave1> xtknight, when i type ctrl-alt-backspace that restarts it fine tho?
[02:46] <zyth> k9 something
[02:46] <zyth> I think
[02:46] <xtknight> larson9999: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/misc/1060-there-icon-size-option-gnome-gui.html
[02:46] <xtknight> dave1: really?
[02:46] <Phatrabbit|2> ashaman: how can i remove my old nvidia drivers
[02:46] <xtknight> dave1: kubuntu or ubuntu?
[02:46] <doojin> hi
[02:46] <Phatrabbit|2> so i can start fresh
[02:46] <dave1> xtknight, ubuntu 6.10
[02:46] <matason> xtknight: Hmm I don't fully understand it all, I wanted to work on PHP projects so I just downloaded PDT All in One - should I try some other version?
[02:46] <doojin> What seems to be the common difference between debian and ubuntu?
[02:46] <xtknight> dave1: i have no idea why it's not working
[02:46] <mackinac> mastermixer:  np
[02:46] <Enselic``> Is the notably better desktop performance with the 2.6.20 kernel a myth, or has anyone here experienced it?
[02:46] <ashaman> Phatrabbit: how did you install them
[02:46] <xtknight> matason: hmm.  well it looks like pdt is some plugin for eclipse?
[02:47] <xtknight> Enselic``: i am using 2.6.20
[02:47] <oddipoddi> anyone know if ubuntustudio is an OS by it self like kubuntu or is it an "expansion" to ubuntu????
[02:47] <matason> xtknight: Yes it provides the extras for working with PHP stuff
[02:47] <dave1> xtknight, wouldnt "/etc/init.d/gdm restart" restart gdm rather than X?
[02:47] <xtknight> Enselic``: i do notice faster startup, i think.  try applying the realtime/dyntick/tickless patches for 2.6.20 (i386 only) then you may see improved performance and battery life
[02:47] <xtknight> dave1: restarting gdm should restart X
[02:47] <ashaman> Phatrabbit: If you used apt-get then it will update them
[02:48] <dave1> xtknight, is that what the ctrl-alt-backspace command does?
[02:48] <ashaman> Phatrabbit: but before you reboot run sudo nvidia-xconfig
[02:48] <koregaonpark> Hey. I'm installing Windows on my secondary (slave) hard disk. I've erased it and am attempting to install, but the Windows setup says that I must delete my Ubuntu partition because the setup needs to write some files to the primary disk.
[02:48] <xtknight> dave1: that restarts Xorg itself actually
[02:48] <Meltdown79> guys, anyone of you got Dreamweaver mx 2004 to work in ubuntu 6.10? I have been following guides ect but its not working. =)
[02:48] <Enselic``> xtknight: is there a central place for kernel patches?
[02:48] <Phatrabbit|2> ashaman: using sudo dpkg -i package_file.deb
[02:48] <Enselic``> xtknight: like that one
[02:48] <xtknight> dave1: i guess to restart Xorg itself you can do 'sudo killall X'
[02:49] <xtknight> Enselic``: not really, but i can get you the link for that one i was talking about
[02:49] <oddipoddi> does adobe products work on ubuntu?
[02:49] <Enselic``> dave1: pkill gdm && sudo gdm start
[02:49] <Phatrabbit|2> ashaman: can i use envy if i used sudo dpkg -i package_file.deb
[02:49] <aatdark> oddipoddi probply with wine .
[02:49] <larson9999> xtknight: yes, i saw that post before.  so, how do you get to desktop preferencse?  i go to system->settings-> but there is no desktop preferences.  only desktop background.
[02:49] <xtknight> Enselic``: http://www.tglx.de/projects/hrtimers/2.6.20/   apply with 'bzcat ../asdf.bz2 | patch -p1' to /usr/src/linux/  kernel tree
[02:49] <xtknight> Enselic``: and 'sudo -s -H' before that since it requires root to modify /usr/src/*
[02:49] <dave1> xtknight, how do i restart it after killing it?
[02:50] <xtknight> dave1: usuaully X restarts on its own
[02:50] <Enselic``> xtknight: I've arleady started to compile, but Ill consider it next release ;)
[02:50] <Enselic``> xtknight: how come its not part of the vanilla kernel?
[02:50] <dave1> ok thx, will try that
[02:50] <xtknight> dave1: obviously your X is broken if gdm restart and killall X doesn't work, what's the log say?
[02:50] <koregaonpark> Can anyone please help?
[02:50] <xtknight> Enselic``: it will be in 2.6.21.  it's just slightly beta atm and ports to amd64/arm are still in the works so it can't be merged to the multi-arch tree
[02:51] <ashaman> Phatrabbit: dpkg -r package.deb will remove it
[02:51] <stork> is it possible to stop one x screen and leave the other running?
[02:51] <xtknight> larson9999: not sure, really
[02:51] <ashaman> Phatrabbit I don't use envy
[02:51] <xtknight> stork: yes just kill that particular X that is pointing to :DESKTOP
[02:51] <Phatrabbit|2> awsome thanks
[02:52] <stork> xtknight, sorry, what? you lost me
[02:52] <koregaonpark> Hey. I'm installing Windows on my secondary (slave) hard disk. I've erased it and am attempting to install, but the Windows setup says that I must delete my Ubuntu partition because the setup needs to write some files to the primary disk.
[02:52] <ashaman> Phatrabbit: np
[02:52] <Koenh> Hello, anyone who knows if Kubuntu already folows the new DST for America?
[02:52] <ashaman> Phatrabbit: hope you get it
[02:52] <stork> xtknight, i have dual monitors configured, is it possible to turn one off with the command line? i.e. screen 1 but not screen 0
[02:52] <xtknight> larson9999: edit->preferences in nautilus
[02:52] <zyth> when does daylight savings time start?
[02:52] <Phatrabbit|2> lol
[02:52] <Sodan> hello everbody
[02:52] <xtknight> stork: maybe 'xrandr'
[02:52] <larson9999> xtknight: so if you click on an item in the start menu and right click on it, say gparted, you get an option to edit it?
[02:53] <Sodan> i need some help with the installation of ubuntu 6.10
[02:53] <Frederick> folks my ubuntu file system is corrupted is there any winows applycation I can use to acess my data and try to save at least something?
[02:53] <ashaman> Phatrabbit: How long have you been using ubuntu
[02:53] <xtknight> larson9999: nah, just 'add this launcher to start menu' or something
[02:53] <Sodan> cause my sata-controller suxx
[02:53] <koregaonpark> Sodan, yes?
[02:53] <Phatrabbit|2> for about a week now
[02:53] <xtknight> larson9999: the menu editor for gnome is great tho, so that's not really an issue imo
[02:53] <koregaonpark> Sodan, oh sorry... I have no idea about sata-controllers.
[02:53] <xtknight> larson9999: i think it perevents accidental context menu selection by n00bs
[02:54] <Koenh> zyth: normally they are changed begin of 2007...
[02:54] <ashaman> Phatrabbit: once you get the hang of repos you will like it
[02:54] <Phatrabbit|2> im half way through reading the online ubuntu how to, its just i forget alot of commands
[02:54] <sidjster> whats the matter with youi sata ?
[02:54] <Koenh> but i have to know if they are already changed in kubuntu...
[02:54] <olioBeato`> i ALREADY like it !
[02:54] <desp> hi again
[02:54] <xtknight> stork: if you're using nvidia, nvidia-settings
[02:54] <larson9999> xtknight: so how do you get to the menu editor?
[02:54] <Phatrabbit|2> yer ive been trying to configure my xorg for 6 hours straight
[02:54] <xtknight> larson9999: right click the top menu bar and click edit menu
[02:54] <ashaman> Phatrabbit: I can understand that there is alot to learn
[02:54] <desp> I mad some changes and the host get down :(
[02:55] <Phatrabbit|2> i cant figure out why GLX wont load and i think it might be becuase i have the wrong drivers
[02:55] <desp> what should i check to fix the error
[02:55] <stork> xtknight, no way to switch it off without restarting X
[02:55] <Phatrabbit|2> ashaman: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6213/
[02:55] <xtknight> stork: hmm.  nvidia?
[02:55] <PoHxD> what is the program X :P
[02:55] <PoHxD> X
[02:55] <stork> xtknight, yeah
[02:55] <larson9999> xtknight: and then it opens a window entitled "Edit Menus"
[02:55] <xtknight> PoHxD: X is the desktop foundation, more commonly called Xorg (www.x.org)
[02:56] <Sodan> can anyone help us??? with have a problem with the installation of ubuntu 6.10 on a sata-hdd.
[02:56] <xtknight> larson9999: right.....
[02:56] <ashaman> Phatrabbit: if you are using the nv drivers then you will not get glx to work but the way i have shown you will get it up and running
[02:56] <PoHxD> ok, whats a deskop foundation, is it the same as GNOME?
[02:56] <xtknight> larson9999: can you do what you want from within there?
[02:56] <sidjster> whats the deal with the sata install?
[02:56] <xtknight> PoHxD: it's the underlying component that interfaces with the hardware to display 2d and 3d graphics.  gnome is a desktop environment
[02:56] <ashaman> just remember to run nvidia-xconfig
[02:56] <dave1> xtknight, killall X gives "X: no process killed"
[02:57] <PoHxD> ok, why is Xorg better that gnome?
[02:57] <PoHxD> feks gnome...
[02:57] <larson9999> xtknight: that is only letting me decide either to show or not show an item.  no way to add or edit the item as far as i can tell.
[02:57] <xtknight> dave1: what about 'startx' ?
[02:57] <sidjster> what do you mean xorg is better than gnome??
[02:57] <xtknight> PoHxD:  gnome uses Xorg
[02:57] <koregaonpark> Argh. Does no one know?
[02:57] <PoHxD> whats the difrence between Xorg and gnome :S  ?ok
[02:58] <Phatrabbit|2> ashaman:  yer i hope this works, 6 hours straight and no luck is driving me nutters
[02:58] <xtknight> PoHxD: well, sort of, anyway.  gnome is run on top of xorg i should say
[02:58] <PoHxD> now i understand, :P
[02:58] <varkatope> larson9999: just rightclick
[02:58] <xtknight> PoHxD: as is kde and xfce..
[02:58] <PoHxD> mm
[02:58] <xtknight> larson9999: sorry, you must have missed my last msg.  double click or right click->properties
[02:58] <agliv5> I'm installing Ubuntu any was wondering if anyone would recommend or dissaprove of using the jfs datasystem?
[02:58] <ashaman> Phattrabbit: you will get it
[02:58] <xtknight> agliv5: i dont know.  instead of ext3 i'm not sure why you'd use it
[02:59] <xtknight> agliv5: less compatibility than the ubiquitous e2/e3fs
[02:59] <ashaman> koregaonpark: what do you need
[02:59] <Aldoliel> agliv5: Any particular reason you want to use jfs?
[02:59] <dave1> xtknight, it complains that X is already running, so i would need to stop X first, how would i do that?
[02:59] <larson9999> varkatope, xtknight: right click doesn't do anything.  double clicking either.
[02:59] <PoHxD> whats the best IRC program? im using GAIM at the moment, but i dont like it :P
[02:59] <xtknight> dave1: maybe your Xorg lock file is stuck, maybe that's the problem.
[02:59] <Phatrabbit|2> ashaman:  sudo nvidia-xconfig enable
[02:59] <xtknight> dave1: does it say anything about a lock when you type startx?
[02:59] <xtknight> larson9999: ubuntu 6.10?
[03:00] <Phatrabbit|2> ashaman:  isnt it sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[03:00] <agliv5> xtknight, Aldoliel, according to http://linuxgazette.net/122/TWDT.html#piszcz jfs and xts and jfs have the fastest benchmark results...
[03:00] <larson9999> xtknight: yeah
[03:00] <Frogzoo> xtknight: really depends what you're looking for in an irc client
[03:00] <xtknight> Frogzoo: PoHxD actually
[03:00] <ashaman> Phatrabbit: yea
[03:00] <xtknight> larson9999: and you're using the "alacarte" menu editor?  check with "ps ax | grep alacarte"
[03:01] <xtknight> agliv5: well xfs is supposed to be pretty good
[03:01] <larson9999> xtknight: 4239 pts/1    R+     0:00 grep alacarte
[03:01] <larson9999> jason@jasonntu:~$ ps ax | grep cart
[03:01] <larson9999> 14249 pts/1    R+     0:00 grep cart
[03:01] <dave1> xtknight, i pm'ed u the output
[03:02] <xtknight> larson9999: goto applications->accessibility in the menu editor for example.  then double click 'onscreen keyboard'  you dont see edit options?
[03:02] <xtknight> dave1: i didn't get a pm
[03:02] <xtknight> dave1: pastebin it if all else fails
[03:02] <dave1> ?
[03:02] <xtknight> dave1: make sure you have a registered nick or you can't pm people on this irc network, i think
[03:03] <agliv5> xtknight, so would you suggest xfs over jfs?
[03:03] <dave1> how do i do that?
[03:03] <xtknight> agliv5: yeah, i'm pretty sure xfs has a more solid foundation.  i used it myself for a while and it seemed faster for big files iirc
[03:03] <xtknight> dave1: /msg nickserv register
[03:03] <xtknight> agliv5: i dont know about that.  he says it's taking hours to mount a file system.
[03:04] <larson9999> xtknight: i get an error message could not launch /usr/bin/gok
[03:04] <xtknight> agliv5: that's just plain wrong
[03:04] <dave1>  /msg NickServ HELP REGISTER
[03:04] <anchovy> why i cant find the touchpad device in the xorg.conf?
[03:04] <xtknight> larson9999: where did the error come from?
[03:05] <xtknight> anchovy: it's probably called "synaptics" or it's just recognized as a regular mouse?
[03:05] <larson9999> when i clicked on-screen keyboard
[03:05] <xtknight> larson9999: hmm i have no idea.  maybe your gnome is borked
[03:06] <davetheunclean> xtknight, i tried to pm u again
[03:06] <Phatrabbit|2> ok ashaman u there mate
[03:06] <anchovy> i also can not find the synaptics, i am not sure if it is recognized as a regular mouse.
[03:07] <agliv5> xtknight, which test are you refering to?
[03:07] <xtknight> anchovy: do you need to edit the mouse config for a particular reason?
[03:07] <xtknight> agliv5: the one you linked http://linuxgazette.net/122/TWDT.html#piszcz
[03:07] <Frogzoo> anchovy: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:07] <ashaman> Phatrabbit i sure am
[03:07] <larson9999> xtknight: perhaps.  this is an OLD file system but i cleaned out all the proper directories. i'll check it out on a fresh install on another machine.
[03:08] <Phatrabbit|2> ashaman: ok i done sudo nvidia-glx-config enable and then i got the error Error: your X configuration has been altered.
[03:08] <jpoeta> HoW CAN I INSTALL A dOC?
[03:08] <Phatrabbit|2> This script cannot proceed automatically. If you believe that this
[03:08] <Phatrabbit|2> not correct, you can update the md5sum entry executing the following
[03:08] <Phatrabbit|2> command:
[03:08] <Phatrabbit|2> md5sum /etc/X11/xorg.conf | sudo tee /var/lib/x11/xorg.conf.md5sum
[03:08] <Phatrabbit|2> otherwise edit manually /etc/X11/xorg.conf to change the Driver section
[03:08] <chx> I have a series of numbers and I would like to get a function that fits them best . To my eyes it looks exponential, but... how could I do this? I have the numbers entered into gnumeric.
[03:08] <Phatrabbit|2> from nv to nvidia.
[03:08] <jpoeta> LIKE A MAC?
[03:08] <jpoeta> dock
[03:09] <xtknight> Phatrabbit|2: just do that md5sum command it tells you but please don't paste >3 lines at a time here (use !pastebin)
[03:09] <Phatrabbit|2> but it seems that my xorg.conf does not update at all
[03:09] <Trunkz> Errm.. something is making my CPU go on practically 100%.. how do I close the running app(s) which are causing this.. I dont know which apps are causing this btw
[03:09] <Phatrabbit|2> sorry xtknight
[03:09] <xtknight> Trunkz: type 'top' in the terminal
[03:09] <Chousuke> Trunkz: run top in terminal
[03:09] <agliv5> xtknight, yes, but which specfic benchmark test are you refering to?
[03:09] <Trunkz> lol thx
[03:09] <Phatrabbit|2> ashaman: can you check your pm mate
[03:09] <Trunkz> mythbackend
[03:09] <Trunkz> o.o
[03:09] <Chousuke> then use kill to kill the process.
[03:09] <infidel> Frogzoo, where can i find a list of commands that are common to configuring the system?
[03:09] <Trunkz> Lemme go remove myth actually
[03:09] <xtknight> agliv5: 'filesystem mount time' and below the graph he says 'reiserfs takes a VERY long time...
[03:09] <Chousuke> you need the process id.
[03:10] <TRouBLe_FeTe>  yo
[03:10] <TRouBLe_FeTe>  y'a du monde ?
[03:10] <xtknight> !fr | TRouBLe_FeTe
[03:10] <ubotu> TRouBLe_FeTe: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[03:10] <ashaman> Phattrabbit: i guess private messages are not going through
[03:10] <TRouBLe_FeTe>  ubotu thx
[03:10] <larson9999> xtknight: alacarte isn't installed.  i'm installing it now.
[03:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about thx - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:10] <xtknight> ashaman, Phatrabbit|2 register your nicknames to get private msgs
[03:10] <Phatrabbit|2> ashaman:  its ok i think it worked brb i am gonna try it !
[03:11] <Trunkz> Chousuke: Err.. my audio is sorta playing in like a slow-mode stutering
[03:11] <Aldoliel> jpoeta: I believe Gnome can do what you ask, I h no idea how the dock works on a mac though
[03:11] <Chousuke> Trunkz: weird.
[03:11] <Trunkz> yeah.. how can I restart the audio server
[03:11] <Trunkz> daemon* rather
[03:11] <Trunkz> maybe that'd fix it
[03:11] <Chousuke> hmm
[03:11] <Trunkz> I think.. I'm using alsa
[03:12] <jpoeta> YES BUT I WANT TO ENCHULAR MI PC
[03:12] <jpoeta> MAKE MORE NICE
[03:12] <agliv5> xtknight, the time is in sec on the graphic and I'm not qualified to comment on his statement about RAID volumes... what's a RAID volume and why should I care?
[03:12] <Chousuke> jpoeta: don't use caps
[03:12] <Trunkz> nvm.. fixed it, something is wrong with alsa tho xD (I had to transfer it to oss)
[03:12] <Aldoliel> jpoeta: Less caps please?
[03:12] <jpoeta> ok
[03:12] <Frogzoo> !docs | infidel
[03:12] <Aldoliel> Thanks
[03:12] <ubotu> infidel: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com
[03:13] <Aldoliel> jpoeta: What do you want it to look like? A Mac?
[03:13] <xtknight> agliv5: i think his tests are bunk.  it takes me <1sec to mount a reiser volume
[03:13] <Trunkz> Well.. thats half my problems solved.. thanks u two ;p
[03:13] <Trunkz> I got a few more coming your way
[03:13] <Frk> org
[03:14] <jpoeta> yes
[03:14] <xtknight> agliv5: i suggest looking at some benchmarks from other sources as well
[03:14] <Zythion> Hello?
[03:14] <xtknight> !raid|agliv5
[03:14] <ubotu> agliv5: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[03:14] <xtknight> agliv5: well RAID itself is just a way to mirror hard disks for backup, raid0 is actually a way to speedup disk access
[03:14] <xtknight> agliv5: but that doesnt cause long mount times
[03:14] <Trunkz> Firstly.. how do I set modprobe to automatically "modprobe <module>" with the relevant settings (basically.. during bootup, I assume the kernel sends a signl to modprobe to do modprobe saa7134.. I want it to do modprobe saa7134 card=59 tuner=1 basically.. :p)
[03:14] <AMD> what can i use to convert wma to mp3
[03:14] <Aldoliel> jpoeta: Something like this? : http://www.taimila.com/ubuntuosx.php
[03:15] <Trunkz> I think its in modprobe.conf, but not too sure where that is (it isnt in /etc/)
[03:15] <jpoeta> but i want to see in my desktop information about my pc but i don't know how
[03:15] <agliv5> xtknight, but you still think that xfs is good / beter than the others?
[03:15] <xtknight> agliv5: on some things.  there is no one, agnostic, BEST File system
[03:15] <larson9999> xtknight: well, alacarte is better.  more things are configurable and you can add items, etc.  but the main thing i was looking for, the ability to start the program with various parms isn't there like it is in menu editors in most of the other desktops i've used.  do i have to write a script just for that?
[03:15] <xtknight> Trunkz: probably /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
[03:15] <Amaranth> larson9999: with it with what?
[03:15] <Amaranth> larson9999: params?
[03:16] <xtknight> larson9999: just add the params to the end of the cmd line
[03:16] <larson9999> Amaranth: yeah
[03:16] <jpoeta> wait
[03:16] <Trunkz> xtknight: doesnt exist
[03:16] <Amaranth> larson9999: you mean `foo --bar=baz`?
[03:16] <infidel> Frogzoo, thanks
[03:16] <Aldoliel> jpoeta: Hmmm, I'm not sure how you would achieve that
[03:16] <jpoeta> yesssssssssssssssss
[03:16] <larson9999> Amaranth: yep
[03:16] <jpoeta> it's incredible
[03:17] <larson9999> xtknight: in alacarte i don't see a place to give it a custom command line
[03:17] <jpoeta> i love ubuntu system
[03:17] <kray> dito
[03:17] <Aldoliel> Glad to help
[03:17] <Amaranth> larson9999: err, edit the Command line?
[03:17] <xtknight> Trunkz: sorry, what version of ubuntu?
[03:17] <Trunkz> edgy
[03:17] <Trunkz> 6.10 I beliv
[03:18] <xtknight> Trunkz: type "locate tools/modules"
[03:18] <jpoeta> but how
[03:18] <Trunkz> okeh :o
[03:18] <jpoeta> ?
[03:18] <xtknight> jpoeta: but how to do what?
[03:18] <jpoeta> how install
[03:18] <xtknight> !install | jpoeta
[03:18] <jpoeta> really i a noob
[03:18] <ubotu> jpoeta: 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
[03:18] <Trunkz> meh not much luck
[03:18] <xtknight> Trunkz: nothing returned?
[03:19] <jpoeta> sorry thanks
[03:19] <larson9999> Amaranth, xtknight ok. it's popping up now.  at first the command line wasn't there.  no it is right where you'd expect
[03:19] <Trunkz> no, it gives out some things which dont exist apparently
[03:19] <jpoeta> oh
[03:19] <jpoeta> anothe question
[03:19] <Trunkz> I did a locate modprobe.conf
[03:19] <Quilby> !gmail
[03:19] <ubotu> gmail is a webmail service. For information on using it with Evolution see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingGmailWithEvolution
[03:19] <jpoeta> well i have a VIA UniChrome
[03:19] <Trunkz> didnt bring back the correct one either
[03:19] <jpoeta> and i can't have beryl
[03:20] <xtknight> Trunkz: odd.  what about /usr/share/initramfs-tools/modules ?
[03:20] <jokoon> I can I access the windows registry ?
[03:20] <jokoon> how ?
[03:20] <Quilby> is there any program that i can use to upload files to gmail, and use it as another hard drive?
[03:20] <xtknight> jokoon: with ubuntu? not in any easy way
[03:20] <jpoeta> o don't know how make beryl works
[03:20] <larson9999> Amaranth, xtknight ok. there was only name and comment.  no command. ran it again and command was there.  that's one off the list.
[03:20] <xtknight> jpoeta: beryl can not work with your card.  but ubuntu does not have beryl by default
[03:20] <Trunkz> xtknight: thats not a directory
[03:20] <Aldoliel> jpoeta: I don't think you can have beryl with that card
[03:20] <LjL> jokoon, access your Windows registry from Ubuntu? even if it's somehow possible, it doesn't sound like a good idea to me
[03:21] <xtknight> Trunkz: it's a file
[03:21] <Amaranth> larson9999: you were editing a menu then, not a menu item :)
[03:21] <jpoeta> nooooooooo
[03:21] <rojo^> anyone running two nvidia cards SLI?  Whenever I try enabling SLI (Option "SLI" "Auto" in Section "Device"), X freezes the console and never launches; can't ctrl-alt-F[1-6] .  Anyone else encounter this?
[03:21] <ElbridgeGerry> I give up! How do I turn off the "tap-to-click" feature of my laptop touchpad?
[03:21] <Trunkz> Okey
[03:21] <blackest> help I need live cd to boot into 800 by 600 any ideas
[03:21] <jokoon> LjL forget that, I was trying to piss someone about windows to get banned.
[03:21] <jokoon> sorry
[03:21] <Trunkz> but that still wont solve my problem I dont think
[03:21] <jpoeta> but if i buy a NVIDIA Card
[03:21] <LjL> jokoon: ... uh?
[03:21] <jpoeta> ?
[03:21] <Trunkz> since the kernel still will do saa7134 on its own (without the other parameters such as card=59 and tuner=1)
[03:22] <ElbridgeGerry> jokoon: Eh?
[03:22] <Trunkz> which.. will defeat the whole purpose xD
[03:22] <xtknight> jpoeta: yes any modern nvidia card can run beryl
[03:22] <shapras> :-)
[03:22] <rojo^> blackest: you can hit ctrl-alt-minus or ctrl-alt-plus to change desktop resolution
[03:22] <blackest> rojo i tried and it didnt respond
[03:22] <jpoeta> fantASTIC
[03:22] <Trunkz> My next question, will be beryl oriented.. so good luck figurin that one out xD
[03:22] <muuhDBX> whats the linux defrag tool ?
[03:22] <jpoeta> thank you very much
[03:22] <xtknight> Trunkz: there's no reason you should be missing the "modules" file
[03:22] <Trunkz> muuhDBX, you dont really need to defrag linux
[03:22] <muuhDBX> yes i do
[03:23] <Trunkz> as the partition resists fragmentation
[03:23] <jpoeta> see you later master ALDOIEL
[03:23] <LjL> muuhDBX: "defrag". it's been unmaintained for ages, though, and anyway ext3 is quite resilient to fragmentation
[03:23] <Trunkz> Or.. so I was told
[03:23] <muuhDBX> i do alot of files delete and write
[03:23] <Daverocks> muuhDBX: you don't need to defrag ext3
[03:23] <Daverocks> muuhDBX: that doesn't matter. ext3 is designed to not fragment
[03:23] <larson9999> Amaranth: no same item.  the space where command goes was there but just empty.  if you edit a menu there is no space for command.  think the display was borked somehow.  but it's fine now.
[03:23] <Trunkz> lol.. I actually know something xD l33t or what =D
[03:23] <xtknight> muuhDBX: xfs_fsr (file system repait) can defrag XFS
[03:23] <ardchoille> muuhDBX: You don't need to worry about defrag in Linux
[03:23] <jokoon> Is an athlon 2200+ 512mb of ram and a gfti4200 going to make beryl stuff run smoothly ?
[03:23] <xtknight> muuhDBX: i believe ext2/ext3 filesystems have a tuning option.  but defrag isn't needed nearly as much with linux
[03:23] <muuhDBX> ive noticably geting an increase in disk lag
[03:24] <Trunkz> jokoon: not too sure about.. that gfx card
[03:24] <Trunkz> what geforce is it specifically? Gf4?
[03:24] <Aldoliel> jpoeta: No worries :-)
[03:24] <ElbridgeGerry> !synaptics touch pad
[03:24] <__Ace2016__> Well whenever i've run bittorrent i've had majour fragmentation
[03:24] <jokoon> yes the 4th generation of nv cards
[03:24] <Trunkz> ahh k
[03:24] <__Ace2016__> so ext3 needs a defrag tool
[03:24] <xtknight> __Ace2016__: how did you read fragmentation levels?
[03:24] <Trunkz> err.. well, u can try it.. It * shud * work, altho not with all the bells 'n' whistles
[03:24] <jokoon> after gf3 and before the 5k series
[03:24] <Daverocks> muuhDBX: you could use fsck
[03:25] <Frogzoo> muuhDBX: by default, ext sets aside 5% of disk for managing defrags, so you need never defrag yourself
[03:25] <LjL> Daverocks, Trunkz: sorry to contradict, but "ext3 does not fragment" and such are false statements. ext3 simply employs some quite effective tricks to reduce fragmentation, but in the end it fragments like any other filesystem.
[03:25] <__Ace2016__> xtknight: i read it based on what my hard disks sound like when using the downloaded files
[03:25] <Daverocks> LjL: alright, sorry. :P
[03:25] <Trunkz> LjL: same :p
[03:25] <xtknight> __Ace2016__: that does not indicate fragmentation, it could be hitting the page file instead of cache
[03:25] <dave1> xtknight, that seems to restart X but doesnt restart gdm aswell :(
[03:25] <Aldoliel> __Ace2016__: The sound your disks make don't relate to fragmentation.....
[03:26] <Trunkz> * gasp * :O
[03:26] <larson9999> xtknight: now alacarte runs when i do 'edit menus'  aparently, this used to be a real problem in gnome as i found an article dated 9/2006 with the headline "Alacarte: GNOME's long overdue menu editor"
[03:26] <Trunkz> Its.. an OP O_O.. run damnit
[03:26] <Daverocks> muuhDBX: specifically, fsck.ext3 would help you
[03:26] <__Ace2016__> Aldoliel: 10gb of files downloaded in random order means a lot of seeks
[03:26] <Trunkz> (btw.. why is the user-list somewhat non-existant in xchat?)
[03:26] <jokoon> oops I left
[03:26] <xtknight> __Ace2016__: in that case you can tune your VM.  set vm.swappiness to 100 to make reducing cache a last resort?
[03:26] <muuhDBX> isnt fsck just a like file system checker ?
[03:26] <muuhDBX> it dosent defrag anything
[03:26] <LjL> muuhDBX: yes
[03:26] <Daverocks> muuhDBX: it fixes as well
[03:26] <LjL> muuhDBX: correct
[03:26] <muuhDBX> it dosent defrag anything
[03:27] <ElbridgeGerry> muuhDBX: It does.
[03:27] <__Ace2016__> xtknight: i don't use a swap file
[03:27] <DangerDawg> mornin
[03:27] <LjL> ElbridgeGerry: since when?
[03:27] <xtknight> larson9999: hmm
[03:27] <Daverocks> i don't know about defragging, but it does fix something. like repairing bad blocks and stuff
[03:27] <__Ace2016__> xtknight: they are just tv episodes in a massive torrent thats all
[03:27] <balzac> hello. I want to upgrade from breezy badger to edgy eft
[03:27] <xtknight> __Ace2016__: odd.  what filesystem?
[03:27] <balzac> i don't want to bother with burning a CD
[03:27] <LjL> balzac: you need to go through dapper drake
[03:27] <ElbridgeGerry> LjL: Since I started listening to daverocks. =p
[03:27] <xtknight> Daverocks: defragging does not fix bad blocks (format does that)
[03:27] <__Ace2016__> xtknight: it used to be xfs and then ext3
[03:28] <ardchoille> balzac: You can't upgrade directly, you'll have to go to Dapper, and then to Edgy.
[03:28] <adaptr> Daverocks: fsck does not repair bad blocks as a rule
[03:28] <__Ace2016__> but xfs had the nice defrag tool
[03:28] <Aldoliel> __Ace2016__: You aren't using swap?
[03:28] <balzac> LjL, can you tell me the command?
[03:28] <xtknight> Daverocks: defragging moves discontiguous blocks of a file to one big contiguous blob so that the hd doens't have to seek all over the place
[03:28] <LjL> !upgrade > balzac    (balzac, see the private message from Ubotu)
[03:28] <balzac> thanks
[03:28] <__Ace2016__> Aldoliel: nope
[03:28] <Daverocks> ok ok.
[03:28] <Daverocks> i'm learning a lot lol
[03:28] <xtknight> __Ace2016__: i think i may have experienced the same fragfmentation with huge files (like vmware images), and that's when i started using xfs ;)  i can't remember the linux cmd to check fragmentation
[03:28] <Aldoliel> __Ace2016__: That's strange...
[03:28] <phatrabbit> ashaman_: u there mate
[03:28] <dave1> hi, does anyone what code the ctrlaltbackspace shortcut executes?
[03:29] <Quilby> what program can i use to transfer my files to gmail?
[03:29] <xtknight> __Ace2016__: i think the statement applies to MOST people, but certainly not everybody.  ext3 CAN fragment
[03:29] <Psy> hey guys
[03:29] <__Ace2016__> Aldoliel: why? i have 1.25gb of ram and the swap was never used so i got rid of it
[03:29] <xtknight> and i've had ext3 files in 700 segments
[03:29] <ashaman_> sure
[03:29] <xtknight> vs. xfs with one segment
[03:29] <jokoon> Btw when I see a beryl video most of the time it is a spinning cube, so it generally allows only 2 sides to be seen. Isn't there some version of beryl or else where you can see your windows like if you are in a sphere or IN a cube, all that with an increased FOV ?
[03:29] <balzac> i installed easyubuntu but i never got it to work. can i still upgrade?
[03:29] <MarcM> davel - ctrlaltbackspace will restart X
[03:29] <muuhDBX> do you need a WEP WAP if you are going to use wirlees over ssh ?
[03:29] <__Ace2016__> xtknight: how do you know it was in 700 segments? is there a checking app?
[03:29] <Quilby> ok
[03:29] <xtknight> __Ace2016__: yes, i'm trying to find it
[03:29] <Psy> i left a ubuntu setup running on a 266 overnight and now i've forgotten what username i gave it - i can remember the password, is there anyway to login as root?
[03:29] <phatrabbit> ashaman_:  can you pm me its easier to see your writing
[03:29] <ashaman_> Phattrabbit: whats up
[03:30] <Trunkz> To users of xchat, did they hijack the user-window? Cos I cant see anyone o.o
[03:30] <dave1> MarcM, i know what it does, but i want to know how it does it?
[03:30] <Aldoliel> __Ace2016__: Fair enough
[03:30] <ihmSelbst> hi
[03:30] <balzac> i installed easyubuntu but i never got it to work. can i still upgrade or did it destroy my installation?
[03:30] <ElbridgeGerry> Trunkz: You may have more of a chance getting an answer in x-chat's irc channel. ;)
[03:30] <xtknight> __Ace2016__: i think it was called 'extents' but maybe it was only an xfs utility
[03:30] <ardchoille> Psy: You can boot into recovery mode, that'll give you a root shell.
[03:30] <Psy> thanks ardchoille
[03:30] <Trunkz> which I assume.. is #xchat? :P
[03:30] <ashaman_> phatrabbit: do you have your nick registered
[03:31] <Psy> i presume its int he boot menu somewhere?
[03:31] <phatrabbit> ashaman_:  nope
[03:31] <xtknight> __Ace2016__: actually it's 'filefrag'
[03:31] <phatrabbit> how can i reg
[03:31] <rojo^> phatrabbit: msg nickserv help
[03:31] <phatrabbit> k
[03:31] <Aldoliel> Psy: hit escape on boot should bring up the list, it's normally the second entry
[03:31] <ardchoille> Psy: Press the ESC key during boot and you'll get a grub menu. You can choose recovery from that.
[03:31] <ashaman_> phatrabbit: ok you have to be registered for pm's
[03:32] <Psy> cool, thanks :)

[03:32] <kev_b> can anyone recommend a good usb bluetooth dongle with ubuntu support?
[03:32] <ashaman_> ok
[03:32] <__Ace2016__> xtknight: thanks
[03:33] <howlingmadhowie> hi everybody :)
[03:33] <Aldoliel> Hello there, howlingmadhowie
[03:33] <nsdk> boa rtarde
[03:33] <xtknight> does ext3 fragment?  yeah, it does "Windows XP Professional x64 Edition-flat.vmdk: 250 extents found, perfection would be 161 extents"
[03:33] <xtknight> seems to be only for big files though
[03:34] <Psy> is there a command to view usernames?
[03:34] <ardchoille> ext3 does fragment, but not to the point where you need to worry about it unless your hard drive is 95% full.
[03:34] <fong> my grub install failed..
[03:34] <fong> is this the last step of the installation?
[03:35] <unop> Psy,  users .. user<tab, tab> :)
[03:35] <ardchoille> I rip several DVD's everyday and I just ran fsck less than an hour ago.. my hard drive is 0.8% (less than 1%) fragmented
[03:35] <howlingmadhowie> Psy: or just look in /etc/passwd
[03:35] <Psy> thanks both
[03:35] <xtknight> Psy: gksu users-admin
[03:35] <ardchoille> Psy: How many users did you set up?

[03:36] <Trunkz> how do I get xorg to remake its xorg.conf file, and make sure it uses the open source ati drivers?
[03:36] <unop> Psy,  perl -F/:/ -ane '$\=$"; print $F[0] ' /etc/passwd
[03:37] <HymnToLife> Trunkz, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:37] <xtknight> ext3 fragmentation on my vmware image causes tons of i/o (accompanied by freezing).  never had the issue with xfs and with a regular xfs_fsr.  tried vmware's defrag option but it doesn't seem to do anything
[03:37] <ardchoille> Trunkz: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:37] <Hotbird> hello everybody, can somone please help me with gnome 2.17.91? I am experiencing this error: GLib-CRITICAL **: g_strlcpy ...... everytime i run gnome-theme-manager from control center
[03:38] <ompaul> Hotbird, which version of ubuntu are you running?
[03:38] <ardchoille> Hotbird: Is that on Feisty?
[03:38] <john83> is there anyone here who can help me with som installation problems with ubuntu?
[03:38] <xtknight> Hotbird: sounds like a gnome incompatibility.  did you try to recompile gnome or something?
[03:38] <Hotbird> Feisty Fawn yes
[03:38] <xtknight> !anyone | john83
[03:38] <ubotu> john83: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[03:38] <ardchoille> Hotbird: Thought so, /join #ubuntu+1
[03:38] <Hotbird> ok
[03:38] <Hotbird> tnks
[03:38] <dpupp> help, i need to format about 80gb into FAT32 so i can use that as a shared space between windows and linux. windows only offers me to format NTFS, and when i try gparted in linux, it just hangs there doing nothing but scanning.
[03:39] <Psy> gksu users-admin came up with could not display or something
[03:39] <Psy> i set up one username
[03:39] <Psy> but i forgot it
[03:39] <xtknight> Psy: youre in a virtual terminal i assume
[03:39] <Psy> i'm now in the recovery menu
[03:39] <ardchoille> Psy: ls /home
[03:40] <Phatrabbit|2> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6231/
[03:40] <Psy> ls /home gives: oem
[03:40] <Psy> thats it
[03:40] <ardchoille> Psy: users-admin is a GUI app and won't work in a vt
[03:40] <Psy> oh ok
[03:40] <leso> join #amici_sempre
[03:40] <xtknight> Psy: not all user names have a /home
[03:40] <saroth> ok. first of all I have to say i'm new at linux.  my problem is: when i start the install, it goes to the checking og alot of stuff, and everything is OK. but after that it goes to a black screen with a white hyphen in the top left corner
[03:41] <dpupp> does anyone know a quick way to format a drive into Fat32?
[03:41] <ardchoille> Psy: Did you install the oem mode?
[03:41] <xtknight> saroth: it could be a graphics card driver issue.  beyond that, i'm not exactly sure
[03:41] <Psy> ardchoille - to be honest, i don;t have a clue
[03:41] <rojo^> saroth: new hardware?
[03:41] <Psy> i ran the alt installation cd
[03:41] <saroth> pc from around 97.
[03:41] <Trunkz> meh.. doesnt seem to work
[03:41] <ardchoille> Psy: I think you did. Did the system ever ask you to set a username and admin password?
[03:41] <Trunkz> i did a reconfig of xorg
[03:41] <Daverocks> dpupp: dosfsck?
[03:41] <saroth> a P500MHz with a little under 500MB ram
[03:41] <Frogzoo> dpupp: mkfs.vfat
[03:42] <xtknight> dpupp: perhaps 'mkfs.vfat -F 32  /dev/blkdev'
[03:42] <xtknight> otherwise itll be fat12 or fat16
[03:42] <Trunkz> but.. I'm getting a "no" direct rendering when runnin glxinfo | grep direct
[03:42] <Aldoliel> saroth: It could just be taking it's time, which cd are you using?
[03:42] <Psy> i think i remember setting a password - butt hat could have beent he install before that which didnt work ue to lack of ram
[03:42] <Daverocks> dpupp: yeah, mkfs.vfat , mkdosfs
[03:42] <Daverocks> things like that
[03:42] <rojo^> saroth: what kind of video card?
[03:42] <xtknight> dpupp: -F 32 if you want fat32
[03:42] <threeseas> any trick to getting youtube sound working on 6.10?
[03:42] <gw3n>  yo
[03:43] <xtknight> threeseas: it's flash sound probably that isn't working.  common issue that's documented on the forums
[03:43] <saroth> burnt a image from a 6.06 verssion i downloaded. it's and old graphic card i don't remeber the name of
[03:43] <saroth> but can check
[03:43] <ardchoille> Psy: If ls /home returns only oem, I think you installed in oem mode, If that is the case, just boot it up and it will let you setup a user,
[03:43] <dpupp> mkfs.vfat , mkdosfs -F 32 if you want fat32 ? . ...
[03:43] <saroth> but might it be the graphic card?
[03:43] <Psy> ardchoille, it took me to the logon screen
[03:43] <threeseas> xtknight:thanks
[03:43] <xtknight> dpupp: yes
[03:43] <dpupp> ok.
[03:43] <ardchoille> Psy: Ok, then it may not have been oem.
[03:43] <dpupp> brb.
[03:43] <rojo^> saroth: well, it could be that the CD is trying to load a driver that's freezing the graphics card
[03:44] <saroth> hmm. can try with another card
[03:44] <rojo^> couldn't hurt
[03:44] <rojo^> *shrug*

[03:55] <watson540> Hi, does anyone in here have a lapto? The reason I ask is that I posted a rather intriguing post on the forums. A question about laptops and docking bays under linux. See I just bought an awesome lappy, except the video card sucks, uses shared memory. My propsed solution?? Get a docking bay with PCI slots in it, slap a better video card and tv tuner in the PCI slots and call it a desktop PC! of course the video card would only output to an externa
[03:56] <brianski> watson540, what is your question? you can do that, same as when you were asking about that yesterday
[03:56] <ardchoille> brianski: You can also  /query ubotu  and do multiple bot searches there :)
[03:57] <varkatope> !botsnack
[03:57] <ubotu> Yum!
[03:57] <ardchoille> varkatope: The bot is fat enough ;)
[03:57] <padge_> Is glib the GNU standard library for compiling programs?
[03:57] <varkatope> ;
[03:58] <MoonAngel> yes
[03:58] <padge_> I'm trying to get an IDE installed... I've found Anjuta but it seems to need glib, which is not in the repositories, afaik
[03:59] <ardchoille> padge_: Anjuta is in the repos. If you install from the repos, it should pull in all the deps.
[03:59] <ardchoille> !anjuta
[03:59] <ubotu> anjuta: A GNOME development IDE, for C/C++. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.2-2ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 1494 kB, installed size 3760 kB
[03:59] <slippyr4> anyone got a link for where to start with getting nvidia+xorg playing nicely?
[03:59] <padge_> ardchoille: That is where I got it.
[03:59] <ardchoille> padge_: You did sudo apt-get install anjuta ?
[04:00] <padge_> ardchoille: Negative.  I used synaptic package manager.
[04:00] <ardchoille> padge_: What is the exact problem, then?
[04:01] <wimpies> anybody here that has setup a bluetooth network connection between a PDA and bluez ?
[04:01] <padge_> ardchoille: When I try to create a project, it fails with an error that glib and libtool are needed.  I found libtool on the repositiry, but not glib.  And this is not the first time I've needed glib for something.  Also, gcc doesn't compile my programs right and I was thinking this might be related.
[04:02] <padge_> ardchoille: That's why I want a better understanding of what glib is, glibc, and the difference between them
[04:03] <mackinac> did it specify a version?
[04:03] <finalbeta> Anyone has guide/repositories to get beryl 0.2rc2 to run on ATI fglrx?

[04:04] <ardchoille> padge_: Have you installed build-essential ?
[04:05] <padge> ardchoille: Never heard of it.  Checking...
[04:05] <ardchoille> padge_: apt-cache policy build-essential
[04:06] <mobal> hy
[04:06] <padge_> ardchoille: Evidently I haven't, it's working now
[04:06] <ardchoille> padge_: You really should have build-essential installed if you're going to be coding
[04:07] <padge_> ardchoille: I did not know about that package.  I thought if I had a few things like, the C library, and a C compiler, I was ready to get going
[04:07] <ardchoille> padge_: Almost ;)
[04:07] <padge_> ardchoille: but moving to a more sophisticated environment like an IDE, I figreded if I just got what the program said I needed I'd be in the clear
[04:08] <padge_> ardchoille: Thanks for your help with that :)
[04:08] <Seracht> hey
[04:08] <ardchoille> padge_: You're welcome
[04:08] <IdleOne> hi Seracht
[04:08] <padge_> ardchoille: So, do you think those programs that I wrote that compile in g++ but not gcc will compile in gcc now?
[04:08] <IdleOne> padge, they should
[04:08] <Seracht> Quick question guys. I have a 320 and a 80gb hdd. Windows is on the 320 and I want to install ubuntu on the 80gb. How should I partition it?
[04:08] <Seracht> I am thinking 15 EMT3, 1 Swap Area, rest FAT32
[04:09] <padge_> Seracht: Consider a swap partition to make up the difference between your physical RAM and 1.5 gigs
[04:09] <padge_> Seracht: Oh, you said that :)
[04:09] <Seracht> 1 gb for awap
[04:09] <ardchoille> Seracht: The installer does a good job of partitioning , I've never had to mess with it when running the installer.
[04:09] <Seracht> er swap
[04:09] <dimeotane> I'm attempting to do a backup of my home directory, but tar says "tar: /home/dimeo/.contacts.dimeo: socket ignored"
[04:10] <dimeotane> any idea WTF that means?
[04:10] <Seracht> dimeotane doesn't it make it all EMT3?
[04:10] <fong> can anyone help me? i'm getting an error "Unable to install GRUB in (hd0,1)"
[04:10] <charl_ie> make sure to have a separate /home directory
[04:10] <padge_> Seracht: You might consider not putting any FAT32 on it
[04:10] <Seracht> padge_ I wanted it mainly for transferring media files over
[04:10] <larson9999> Seracht: why the fat32?
[04:10] <Seracht> from windows to ubuntu
[04:10] <padge_> Seracht: There's a much better way
[04:10] <charl_ie> http://www.fs-driver.org/
[04:10] <Seracht> oh?
[04:11] <charl_ie> provides a ext3 filesystem drive for windows
[04:11] <dimeotane> Seracht:  what's EMT3?
[04:11] <padge_> Seracht: There's a driver for XP that allows you to read/write ext3
[04:11] <Seracht> charl_ie that is ext2 heh
[04:11] <padge_> Seracht: charl_ie is on the ball here :)
[04:11] <Seracht> is ext2 == ext3?
[04:11] <charl_ie> :). http://www.fs-driver.org/ still works for ext3
[04:11] <ardchoille> Seracht: ext2 = ext3+journal
[04:11] <Seracht> oh ok :)
[04:11] <Seracht> sorry, im a nub
[04:11] <padge_> Seracht: I believe that the difference is transparant
[04:12] <larson9999> yeah ext2.  if you make it ext3 and windows shuts down unexpectedly you have to fix it.
[04:12] <ardchoille> Seracht: We all were at one time :)
[04:12] <dimeotane> ubuntu thrives on nOObs
[04:12] <Seracht> so which option should I choose then
[04:12] <Seracht> I got the alternate cd
[04:12] <dimeotane> fastest growing linux distro
[04:12] <larson9999> ext2
[04:12] <Seracht> for AMD64
[04:12] <Seracht> when it asks for partitioning info
[04:12] <padge_> Seracht: In my experience, I think that the driver doesn't journal its work, so when you mount it back up in linux, it freaks out and checks the filesystem, but never any major problems though
[04:13] <padge_> dimeotane: Why are you here?
[04:13] <fong> lol
[04:13] <Seracht> aight padge
[04:13] <Seracht> so
[04:13] <fong> owned
[04:13] <padge_> Seracht: aight. :)
[04:13] <Seracht> which parition option do you guys normally chose
[04:13] <Seracht> because I cannot have 2 computers up at 1 time
[04:14] <Seracht> only 1 powercord/monitor
[04:14] <padge_> Seracht: I would do it like this
[04:14] <padge_> Seracht: You have your 320 set.  How much RAM do you have?
[04:14] <Seracht> oh I do not have the live cd btw
[04:14] <Seracht> i have 1gb
[04:14] <Seracht> i ahve the alternate cd
[04:14] <Seracht> when I ran the live cd before...it wouldn't give a signal to my monitor lol
[04:14] <larson9999> Seracht: if you pick ext3 over ext2 do yourself a favor and print out or bookmark the forum posts about how to recover when windows borks the ext3.
[04:15] <Seracht> larson9999 heh ok
[04:15] <Seracht> so should I choose EXT2 then?
[04:15] <padge_> Seracht: I would format the 80 gig drive with 79.5G EXT3 and the rest swap at the end of the drive
[04:15] <Seracht> only 500?
[04:15] <Seracht> I thought you said between 1 and 1.5 heh
[04:15] <larson9999> Seracht: i would for that partition you plan to share with windows
[04:15] <padge_> Seracht: To make up the difference between your memory and 1.5
[04:15] <dimeotane> padge_:  I'll post my question again:   I'm attempting to do a backup of my home directory, but tar says "tar: /home/dimeo/.contacts.dimeo: socket ignored"
[04:16] <dimeotane> what does that mean? how do I fix this?
[04:16] <ardchoille> dimeotane: It's a socket, tar won't use it.. that's normal.
[04:16] <dimeotane> ardchoille: can you elaborate?
[04:16] <Seracht> padge ok :)
[04:16] <charl_ie> i'd do 15gig ext3 for / 500mg swap and the rest ext2 for /home
[04:16] <turbolover> hey guys
[04:17] <Seracht> hmm that seems like a good idea too
[04:17] <dimeotane> the main problem is that tar doesn't complete the backup operation " tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors"
[04:17] <brianski> the thing about that windows ext2 driver that scares me is what if you get a virus, it can wipe out or screw with files on your linux partition (it doesn't have a read only mode, or even look at access rights)
[04:17] <padge_> dimeotane: I'm actually no authority on linux.  I'm here for help myself.  I was being snarky when I asked because you made an off-color remark about Ubuntu and its users.
[04:17] <turbolover> my machine was slow and i got it running alright, and now after several updates it seems to be running slow and somehow vmware got broken, any ideas
[04:17] <turbolover> ?
[04:17] <dimeotane> off-color?
[04:17] <LjL> ok, let us be back to ubuntu support please?
[04:17] <padge_> offensive
[04:17] <Seracht> ah crap I forgot what I was gonna say
[04:17] <Seracht> oh right
[04:18] <brianski> dimeotane, tar still completes when you get that error. that's what it means by "exit delayed" - what they mean is the exit doesn't happen
[04:18] <dimeotane> Acutally, I was being quiet enthusiastic about the fact that Ubuntu needs lots of new users !  It has become the fastest growing distro because... thats GOOD!
[04:18] <Seracht> so charl_ie for your idea 15 emt3, 500 swap, and rest emt2
[04:18] <Seracht> what mountpoint and things should I use
[04:18] <padge_> charl_ie: Why ext2 for the remainder portion?
[04:18] <charl_ie> windows mucking ext3 up
[04:18] <dimeotane> brianski: so what your saying is that it doesn't quit.. it acutally finished the backup operation?
[04:18] <padge_> charl_ie: That's a good precaution.
[04:19] <padge_> Seracht: I agree with charl_ie.
[04:19] <Seracht> ok
[04:19] <Seracht> ya I think I will do that
[04:19] <e-vocr> morn, where does X log errors when not starting?
[04:19] <Seracht> just question about mount point, primary vs logical
[04:19] <brianski> dimeotane, it finished,but look thru the output. you probably got error messages about things like sockets not being added to the archive
[04:19] <Seracht> I don't know how to choose those
[04:19] <ardchoille> dimeotane: Very basically, you can consider a socket file to be part of the entire connection mechanism that two programs set up when they need to exchange information via a socket. A socket is kinda like a "temporary" file, tar doesn't need it and won't archive it.
[04:19] <brianski> in general software that uses sockets like that will just re-create them and it's no problem
[04:19] <|Kerberos> hey folks, i am trying to install ubuntu on a ibm 300GL. The loader starts up fine, but then it seems to be taking a VERY long time to load the rest. The CD is continuing to spin and the hard drive to write, but it's been over 60 minutes and i am still at a black screen. Any ideas?
[04:20] <charl_ie> i have all my partitions primary
[04:20] <padge_> Seracht: I don't know.  But guessing without knowing I would go with primary :)
[04:20] <Seracht> oh
[04:20] <charl_ie> you can only have 4 primary partitions per hard drive
[04:20] <Seracht> ok...i put logical last time lol
[04:20] <Seracht> ah ok :)
[04:20] <brianski> |Kerberos, have you given the install cde any input at all?
[04:20] <brianski> it's possible the install cd is just fubared
[04:20] <Seracht> so even the swap and emt2 should be primary :)
[04:20] <ardchoille> dimeotane: a socket is not something you need to restore when you restore from a backup anyway
[04:20] <|Kerberos> none. i ran a cd check and it said everything was fine.
[04:20] <Seracht> how about mount point
[04:21] <|Kerberos> i also tried the same cd on a 2.4Ghz, machine and it install fine as well.
[04:21] <charl_ie> 15gig ext3 for /
[04:21] <charl_ie> 500mb swap
[04:21] <dimeotane> wow... thanks guys... I guess I actually got the backup job done right and didnt' even know..  my kindof 'tar' program would give confirmation.. .such as "job completed 10m50s. 10mb/s
[04:21] <charl_ie> the rest for /home
[04:21] <Seracht> um
[04:21] <Seracht> is / = root?
[04:21] <charl_ie> yup
[04:21] <Seracht> oh ok
[04:21] <padge_> Seracht: I don't think it really matters.  Stick the ext2 part on /videos or something
[04:21] <Seracht> so /home is like another paritition kinda. is it under root?
[04:21] <padge_> Seracht: Assuming videos is what you're moving around :)
[04:21] <Seracht> or does ubuntu only have 1 root video
[04:21] <Seracht> er
[04:22] <Seracht> root folder
[04:22] <ardchoille> dimeotane: You can run tar with time:  time tar czf file.tar.gz   (time till tell you how long tar took)
[04:22] <linc> suggestions for a bit torrent client?
[04:22] <bulmer> dimeotane: now all you need to find out is, if that back-up is good or not
[04:22] <dimeotane> yes
[04:22] <padge_> Seracht: I think he's suggesting using the ext3 partition for /home and /usr and /var and all the linux stuff
[04:22] <padge_> oh
[04:22] <padge_> Seracht: and /
[04:22] <Seracht> no I meant
[04:22] <charl_ie> no
[04:22] <Seracht> ?
[04:22] <charl_ie> use the big ext2 partition for /home
[04:22] <Seracht> ok
[04:22] <meisam> #apache
[04:22] <Seracht> i will try it
[04:22] <charl_ie> its kind of like "My documents"
[04:23] <larson9999> padge: it does matter where home is.  you want it on a separate partition.
[04:23] <Seracht> oh!
[04:23] <padge_> charl_ie: oooh, then keep the videos in his login's home directory somewhere
[04:23] <Seracht> ok :)
[04:23] <padge_> Assuming, again, that videos are what's being moved around :)
[04:23] <Seracht> also will it install grub on my 320 (with windows) right away
[04:23] <Seracht> the primary hdd
[04:23] <charl_ie> yes
[04:23] <charl_ie> on your master boot record
[04:24] <Seracht> so that is (hd0)
[04:24] <chris> anyone know where I can find libmysqlclient_r.so.10.0.0, I need a copy of this library.
[04:24] <Seracht> even if windows is installed on there?
[04:24] <padge_> larson9999: Thanks.  I forget things like that.  My mind has been poisoned by microsoft's model of computing.  I'm used to the concept of "if the operating system goes, so does My Documents"
[04:24] <larson9999> Seracht: my normal recommendation for dual booting is to make the windwos drive the slave and the linux drive the primary.  it's not the only way to do it but i found by experience that it leads to fewer problems
[04:25] <|Kerberos> any suggestions? ideas?
[04:25] <larson9999> padge_: yep, that's the reason.  should do the same in windows imo.
[04:25] <Seracht> larson9999 I tried that last time
[04:25] <Seracht> and windows wouldn't boot up
[04:25] <derblubber> ubuntu feisty herd 4 crashes to a emergency shell with error from modprobe while all previous versions run well. can i fix this, in vmware it runs well
[04:25] <Seracht> IE: I installed windows on the 320 (Which was hd2), formatted hd1 and couldn't use windows again
[04:25] <Seracht> NTLDR was not found
[04:26] <ardchoille> chris: Likely one of the -dev packages for libmysqlclient
[04:26] <padge> No wonder my nick was padge_
[04:26] <padge> :p
[04:26] <Seracht> heh
[04:26] <charl_ie> serachti dont think grub was installed properly then
[04:26] <Seracht> charl_ie it installed it on the primary I guess
[04:26] <charl_ie> it should work fine
[04:26] <ompaul> !fiesty | derblubber
[04:26] <ubotu> derblubber: The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn"), it should be released in April 2007. At the moment it is alpha. Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyReleaseSchedule - Specifications (goals): https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/feisty - Help in #ubuntu+1
[04:26] <Seracht> and primary only had ubuntu
[04:26] <mackinac> |Kerberos:  how much ram?
[04:27] <padge> Is there a good front end for setting up grub?
[04:27] <larson9999> Seracht: if you did that, the windows boot loader would have been totally intact and there shouldn't have been any issues.
[04:27] <Seracht> I tried adding it manually to the grub.lst but it couldn't find ntldr
[04:27] <Seracht> larson9999 I think it is because I formatted the primary hdd (the 80)
[04:27] <padge> I have like the past 5 kernels and their respective safe-modes on my grub menu, and I'd like to have them gone and the order changed
[04:27] <Seracht> so it lost the MBR
[04:27] <padge> and I don't really feel like digging around through a configuration file re-ordering a bunch of text
[04:27] <watson540> remove them via apt Paavo
[04:27] <larson9999> Seracht: that wouldn't matter.  you could then just tell your bios to boot from the 2nd drive.
[04:27] <watson540> err.. padge
[04:27] <|Kerberos> mackinac: 192? I think. I'm pretty sure i had 3 - 64 sticks in there
[04:28] <mackinac> might be a problem
[04:28] <watson540> padge - use synaptic
[04:28] <Seracht> larson9999 hmmm.....I dunno man I tried that
[04:28] <Seracht> IE: I swapped the 320 and 80
[04:28] <Seracht> couldn't find NTLDR
[04:28] <Seracht> I think I screwed something up
[04:28] <padge> What was I thinking?
[04:28] <Seracht> http://www.hezardastan.org/breezy_xp_dualboot/images/partubuntu21.png
[04:28] <Seracht> should I choose yes here?
[04:28] <Seracht> or no
[04:28] <watson540> Seracht - umm yeah anytime youswitch the order of HD's that have os's on them, expect problems
[04:29] <Seracht> heh ya lol
[04:29] <chris> ardchoille: could you perhaps expand a bit, is there a way for me to search it out?
[04:29] <Seracht> >_> <_<
[04:29] <jctyler1> does anyone out therer know of a linux driver for a brother Multi-function center model7220
[04:29] <watson540> :), ive been there man..m.any times
[04:29] <Seracht> whatever learn with every mistake
[04:29] <charl_ie> seracht: answer yes
[04:29] <larson9999> Seracht: but when you install linux it will see the windows drive and set up grub to boot it without messing with the windows boot loader.
[04:29] <Seracht> ok charl_ie thanks
[04:29] <MoonAngel> ok
[04:29] <Enselic``> !wireless
[04:29] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[04:29] <|Kerberos> oh, here we go, it's partially loading the GUI. Taking forever!
[04:29] <jctyler1> do you know where I could find such a thing
[04:29] <mackinac> |Kerberos:  you might squeek by with 192 ... sound like symtoms of when i tried with 128 (not enough)
[04:29] <Seracht> watson540 ya, its juist a format....and I formatted earlier so I lost like...microsoft office and drivers haha
[04:29] <larson9999> Seracht: when you got that message which drive was windows on?  first or second?
[04:29] <Seracht> larson9999 thats a pic i got from the weh
[04:30] <Seracht> web
[04:30] <Seracht> so I didn't install ubuntu yet...again
[04:30] <Seracht> previously, windows was on the second drive
[04:30] <Seracht> so it didn't even give me the mesage
[04:31] <Seracht> alright larson9999, charl_ie, padge, and watson540. Thanks a lot for your help, I am going to try this. will come back if I have any problems
[04:31] <|Kerberos> 128 isn't enough? what would you recommend?
[04:31] <Seracht> oh wait 1 more question
[04:31] <jctyler1> i am looking for a linux driver for a Brother MFC-7220 printer/fax.  Does anyone know where one would be able to find such a thing?
[04:31] <larson9999> oh.  well, imo you want to get that message with windows as the 2nd drive :)
[04:31] <Seracht> if I install ubuntu, cna I still install KDE?
[04:31] <padge> Seracht: Good luck :)
[04:31] <charl_ie> yes
[04:32] <Seracht> charl_ie and I can switch back and forth between them?
[04:32] <charl_ie> sudo apt-get install kubuntu_desktop
[04:32] <Seracht> oh
[04:32] <padge> Seracht: There's a package called Kubuntu
[04:32] <Seracht> padge ya I know
[04:32] <Seracht> but I would like both
[04:32] <mackinac> |Kerberos:  192 *might* be enough - 256 would be fine
[04:32] <Seracht> so I can experience both
[04:32] <watson540> Seracht - oh yes you could switch between them no problem
[04:32] <charl_ie> you can switch back and forth
[04:32] <Seracht> ok cool
[04:32] <larson9999> Seracht: yep and vice versa.  and most other linux apps.  'gnome' and 'kde' 'apps' is a bit of a misnomer.  you can use apps for one in another
[04:32] <padge> Seracht: I installed it, and now I get to choose my environment.  It's slick.
[04:33] <Seracht> alright going to try this
[04:33] <Seracht> thanks again
[04:33] <padge> Seracht: But I stayed with gnome.  I got enough of KDE with Knoppix :)
[04:34] <padge> watson540: I looked, but I don't see anything like what I'm looking for.  Does that mean my trail has hit an end?
[04:34] <svg> jctyler1: I HAVE A 7220
[04:34] <watson540> padge - heck no, did you search for 'kernel' in synaptic?
[04:34] <Matteo_M> hi there
[04:34] <padge> watson540: I wonder about repositories... Is there a way to add to the list of repositories with Synaptic?
[04:34] <svg> you can dowload al drivers from brother
[04:35] <svg> they even have deb packages
[04:35] <Matteo_M> how can I get the ubuntu livecd??
[04:35] <padge> watson540: I have before... but I wasn't looking for a grub front-end at the time
[04:35] <watson540> padge - yes you can, but you dont need to ADD repo's to REMOVE packages :)
[04:35] <bulmer> Matteo_M: downloaded them from ubuntu site
[04:35] <jctyler1> thnaks!
[04:35] <padge> watson540: Well I'm not really ... OH
[04:35] <cmp1988> Matteo_M: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/GetUbuntu/download?action=show&redirect=download
[04:35] <watson540> padge - when you remove those old kernels via synaptice or apt, they will automagically update your menu.1st file which is what tells grub what and where your kernels are
[04:35] <dahoople> Is it OK to ask a ? about feisty on this channel?
[04:35] <padge> watson540: I don't really want to remove the kernels from my computer
[04:36] <drivera90> General tech question. When I'm recording a CD and I want it to be readable in like, a car stereo, can I just burn it as a data CD with all the songs in it, or must I burn it as an audio CD? What is the difference?
[04:36] <Matteo_M> I dont find the livecd iso, everyone works also as livecd?
[04:36] <padge> watson540: I just want to change what options I have and what order they appear in
[04:36] <watson540> padge - I thought you said that IS what you wanted, in any case you dont need them especially if you dont have them in your grub menu
[04:36] <mackinac> Matteo_M:  desktop
[04:36] <charl_ie> Matteo_M: install CD == live CD
[04:36] <Matteo_M> ok
[04:36] <drivera90> Serpentine fills its capacity based on length of tracks instead of size of data, so it gets full really quickly.
[04:36] <Matteo_M> thanks you
[04:36] <cmp1988> Matteo_M: Don't download the Alternate Install
[04:36] <drivera90> :/
[04:36] <watson540> padge to change what and where, edit /boot/grub/menu.1st
[04:36] <charl_ie> make sure its the desktop
[04:37] <padge> watson540: I suppose you're right, if I haven't needed the last 6 minor releases of the kernel so far, I probably won't :)
[04:37] <padge> watson540: So basically yeah, I'm going to have to dig around in a configuration file :)
[04:37] <padge> watson540: No pretty front-end
[04:38] <watson540> padge - afaik not for just editing the optins of grub although i may be wrong,,,coulda swore there WAS a gui ap out there for editing such things
[04:38] <ardchoille> padge: Always best to keep at least two kernels. There was recently a kernel problem in Dapper that  wouldn't allow us to upgrade and fix something that went wrong in the kernel package.
[04:38] <mei> hi guys sorry im trying to start or restart the apache2 but it gives me an error here : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6236/
[04:38] <watson540> might want to search the forums
[04:38] <larson9999> heck, they all look alike to me
[04:39] <dahoople> Using minicom in edgy eft with a USB to serial dongle I chose serial "port" /dev/ttyUSB0.  That no longer appears in /dev.  Any advice?
[04:39] <padge> ardchoille: I will keep the next most recent kernel then.  But I also want to move other options... Well, I used to want to put Windows XP at the top of the list, but now I really don't :)  However, I do want to change the timeout settings and stuff like that
[04:40] <Frogzoo> dahoople: has it moved to /dev/ttyUSB1
[04:40] <ardchoille> padge: Yeah, I made some changes to mine too.
[04:40] <cmp1988> When I edit my /boot/grub/menu.lst to take out a useless entry, should I just delete what it is?
[04:40] <cmp1988> like after a kernel update
[04:40] <dahoople> Frogzoo:  Sorry.  My cut 'n' paste missed that I was using feisty now and that it had dissappeared.
[04:40] <fong> help, should there be a /boot directory?
[04:40] <fong> installation is not yet complete btw.
[04:40] <cmp1988> let install complete
[04:41] <lastnode> fong, yes, there is generally a /boot dir
[04:41] <padge> watson540: ardchoille: One thing I'm wondering about.  right now I'm running 2.4.something for the K7, and the update notifier wants me to get 2.6.something, but it's all for the i386
[04:41] <vasser> hello
[04:41] <padge> watson540: ardchoille: How much performance difference is there for having your kernel compiled for a processor that has been out less than two decades?
[04:41] <Frogzoo> dahoople: does tail -f /var/log/messages pick up the dongle on insert?
[04:41] <fong> i'm having problems with completing the installation, as i got an error in the GRUB installation... it states unable to install GRUB in (hd0,1)
[04:41] <watson540> padge - nah dont get that.. ibelieve the 'generic' kernel now is for all arch's?
[04:42] <Enselic``> Is it safe to simply dpkg -r after dpkg -i with a compiled 2.6.20 kernel?
[04:42] <dahoople> Frogzoo:  <head slap!>  Good call.  Not enough caffeine this AM.  Will check.
[04:42] <watson540> you should have been using 2.6 all along anyway ":) 2.4 is ancient
[04:42] <ardchoille> padge: I'm not a good one to help with that because I have always just let the pm handle the kernel.
[04:42] <mackinac> !generic
[04:42] <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)
[04:42] <lastnode> padge, it's for i386, i686 <-- those are merged to -generic
[04:42] <lastnode> sorry
[04:42] <vasser> i want to install some sort of a linux distrebution as a server, which one should i use ?
[04:42] <lastnode> what ubotu said
[04:42] <watson540> padge - I believe you willl be ok if you get the 'generic' or 'i686'
[04:42] <vasser> (it doesn't need to have X in it)
[04:42] <Enselic``> vasser: try Ubuntu Server
[04:42] <lastnode> vasser, you'd expect us to say ubuntu, and we generally will.
[04:43] <ardchoille> lastnode: Ah, thanks. I didn't know that.
[04:43] <lastnode> vasser, though, to be fair, debian is an excellent choice too.
[04:43] <vasser> Enselic``: will i be able to tell it not to install X ?
[04:43] <padge> watson540: That's another question I was going to ask.  What processor has come out in the last decade that doens't support i686 instructions?  Can't we call i686 compatible enough?
[04:43] <Enselic``> vasser: I gues
[04:43] <Frogzoo> vasser: probably dapper LTS
[04:43] <watson540> padge - yes..and very safely at that :)
[04:43] <vasser> and install disc that will allow me to install via ssh ?
[04:43] <lastnode> vasser, the server doesnt install x by default
[04:44] <padge> watson540: So why are they putting out i386 builds? :)
[04:44] <watson540> padge - cause linux supports ALL machgines :) people in ethiopia might not be able to afford that new dual core :)
[04:44] <padge> I mean, I would get an i386 build if I were using a pentium or something
[04:44] <lastnode> padge, here in sri lanka, a lot of people are still using old pentiums
[04:45] <lastnode> that's the great thing about linux, choice
[04:45] <ardchoille> padge: I use Ubuntu on a PII
[04:45] <padge> ardchoille: You've got 686 instructions then
[04:45] <ardchoille> padge: Yes
[04:45] <watson540> 686 goes down to P1
[04:45] <padge> watson540: P Pro
[04:46] <watson540> ah.. though p1 preceded p pro
[04:46] <Adyeths> I"m having a strange problem with my printer now. Not sure where to go to find the answer. I can print SOME stuff, such as plain text files, but other stuff such as pdf or postscript files I am completely unable to print. Up until yesterday I was able to print them. Anyone here who might know what I can do to correct this problem or find out what caused it?
[04:46] <padge> watson540: The P1 and P1 w/mmx didn't have i686 instructions
[04:46] <ghatak> Hi guys, suggest a similar player to XMMS or better  ...... :)
[04:46] <watson540> thought*
[04:46] <Enselic``> ghatak: Banshee
[04:46] <ardchoille> ghatak: Beep Media Player?
[04:46] <padge> watson540: It does, but the P Pro was the first chip to do i686 instructions
[04:47] <watson540> padge - I coulda swore they were all 686's when it got to pentium but maybe you're referring to the short lived 585, its been so long ago sinc eI had that old 486/66 DX :)
[04:47] <Frogzoo> !audacious | ghatak
[04:47] <ubotu> ghatak: A !repository for the Audacious audio player now exists: see http://audacious-media-player.org/Downloads
[04:47] <watson540> err.. 586
[04:47] <Enselic``> !2.6.20
[04:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about 2.6.20 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:47] <Enselic``> !kernel

[04:47] <padge> watson540: That is an i586 :)  And it really wasn't that short lived
[04:47] <padge> watson540: aha, sucker!  I had a DX4-100 :)
[04:47] <watson540> it seems short lived in hindsight, but of cours ei was only about 14 at the time as well :)
[04:48] <ghatak> Frogzoo: have use it, XMMS can do that all :)
[04:48] <watson540> padge - hey I still have an old Tandy 8088 sitting down here in my basement :) complete with CGA screen!
[04:48] <watson540> surely it'll be worth some douigh someday :) heh
[04:48] <padge> watson540: CoCo 3.  6 feet away ready to hook up :)
[04:48] <ardchoille> watson540: Wowsers!
[04:49] <watson540> padge - heh, my tandy still even plays chessmaster 3k lol
[04:49] <dahoople> Frogzoo:  from /var/log/messages it IS still /dev/ttyUSB0.  Here is oupput:  usb 1-2: usbfs: interface 0 claimed by ftdi_sio while 'brltty' sets config #1

[04:49] <padge> watson540: Computers and chess is funny.  So can it whip you every time?
[04:49] <kane77> how do I make some network service available (eg webserver)? (there is something like hosts allow but I cant remember where)
[04:50] <bigbang14> hi!
[04:50] <padge> watson540: On the 3rd difficulty setting of 13, the NES takes about 45 seconds to my 5 minutes per turn, and beats me.
[04:50] <charl_ie> hi bigbang14
[04:50] <bigbang14> how can i disable my login screen and logo auto?
[04:50] <watson540> padge - heh, the NES is no 'deep blue' :)
[04:51] <watson540> I would probably get beat quicker though :)
[04:51] <charl_ie> system > administration > login windows
[04:51] <padge> watson540: and I'm clearly no Kasparov :)
[04:51] <watson540> padge - eheh, noted
[04:52] <padge> watson540: The NES is some crappy chip... a 6809 I think, clocked at 1.4MHz with 2kb of working RAM
[04:52] <padge> 6809 modified
[04:52] <watson540> 2K of ram! wow.
[04:52] <charl_ie> bigbang14: then go to the security tab, then check enable timed login
[04:52] <charl_ie> then select the user and the delay
[04:52] <bigbang14> charl_ie: cheers
[04:54] <bigbang14> charl_ie: what about automatic login?

[05:00] <crick> hi all! anyone knows how to transfer files between sony-ericsson k300i and PC via irda?
[05:00] <zyth> crick, the usb works fine for that phone (I have one)
[05:00] <zyth> and its faster too
[05:01] <BigMac> hey how would I go about making a backup of xorg.conf
[05:01] <p01n7> is there a channel for server specific help?
[05:01] <zyth> BigMac, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
[05:01] <crick> 4zyth, I have a belkin usb irda and I want to connect my k300i with it
[05:01] <[jonne] > hi, i screwed up royally, and i can't get X to work any more. How do I reset everything? tty is nice and all, but a gui would be better ;)
[05:01] <zyth> crick, ahh.  Couldn't tell you, I don't use irda, slooooowwww.
[05:02] <Frogzoo> cmp1988: => 2.6.20
[05:02] <[jonne] > I'm using the livecd now
[05:02] <charl_ie> [jonne] : did you try init 3
[05:02] <[jonne] > init 3  ?
[05:02] <howlingmadhowie> jonne: how about checking to see if gdm is running? ps aux | grep gdm
[05:03] <crick> I have installed irda-utils & openobx-apps but I don't know how to configure it
[05:03] <[jonne] > gdm is running, but x gives an error when it tries to start
[05:03] <Frogzoo> has anyone compared 16 bit & 32bit pcmcia to CF converters, and is there much of a difference
[05:03] <howlingmadhowie> jonne: start by killing gdm
[05:03] <daveR> how can i install fonts such as verdana and arial on ubuntu? where can i get them from too?
[05:03] <howlingmadhowie> jonne: have you been playing with xorg.conf?

[05:04] <howlingmadhowie> jonne: what are you trying to do? install a graphic driver?
[05:04] <desp> hi all
[05:04] <[jonne] > and i'd like to run whatever ubuntu did when i initially installed it
[05:04] <desp> something wrong happend with me
[05:04] <desp> i cant access as root
[05:04] <howlingmadhowie> jonne: you may have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup or similar
[05:04] <howlingmadhowie> desp: doesn't sudo work?
[05:04] <[jonne] > the latest kernel update broke beryl and the nvidia driver
[05:04] <[jonne] > and i was trying to fix that
[05:05] <howlingmadhowie> jonne: oops.
[05:05] <desp> desp is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported
[05:05] <howlingmadhowie> jonne: which nvidia driver are you using? nv or nvidia?
[05:05] <desp> I changed user/group the i got the problem
[05:05] <Frogzoo> desp: reboot to recovery mode & add yourself back to the admin group
[05:05] <desp> iam not admin
[05:05] <[jonne] > it tried both, they both don't work
[05:05] <Frogzoo> desp: bingo
[05:05] <desp> ok
[05:05] <howlingmadhowie> jonne: strange that nv doesn't work
[05:06] <Dheeraj_k> i miss these feature a lot in ubuntu :( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFQ7ivaXXEU&NR and this is important http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFQ7ivaXXEU&NR
[05:06] <howlingmadhowie> jonne: what card have you got?
[05:06] <chris> who knows the 3 letter command to show your working directory, I can't for the life of me remember it?
[05:06] <[jonne] > isn't there an easy command to run whatever the installer/liveCD ran?
[05:06] <howlingmadhowie> chris: pwd
[05:06] <chris> howlingmadhowie: lol, ty
[05:06] <howlingmadhowie> jonne: there is something, let me have a look:
[05:06] <[jonne] > or even better, could i copy xorg.conf from the liveCD (which I'm running now) to /etc/X11/
[05:07] <leny> Hi channel. Does anyone know how to get AUCTeX mode working in xemacs21 on Edgy?
[05:07] <[jonne] > i mean /media/etc/X11/, as that's where i mounted my old FS
[05:07] <shiv> How do I get xchat to autojoin channels on connect?
[05:07] <vasser> is the server install cd starts in gui ?
[05:08] <vasser> cuz i need one in text
[05:08] <howlingmadhowie> i'm not sure how live cds work. it's possible there isn't a real xorg.conf on there, but it gets made when you start the cd
[05:08] <[jonne] > vasser: no
[05:08] <vasser> or some install cd that even allows ssh install
[05:08] <base> hello i  need help with ubuntu
[05:08] <[jonne] > that's what i mean, that xorg.conf should at least work, right?
[05:08] <peegy> can i move the harddrive with ubuntu installed on it to another computer and it would work?
[05:09] <howlingmadhowie> jonne: there is a program called nvidia-xconfig
[05:09] <bulmer> peegy: with exact hardware..yes
[05:09] <ysop> @peggy if the other comp has the same hardware, then yes
[05:09] <erUSUL> peegy: it should boot it in recovery mode and reconfigure X
[05:09] <peegy> and what if the hardware isnt the same?
[05:09] <erUSUL> ysop: no need to be the same hardware all the people that uses ubuntu uses the same kernel and drivers
[05:09] <howlingmadhowie> jonne: what card have you got? nvidia stopped supporting my card a few releases back
[05:10] <chris> [jonne] : your aware anytime your kernel changes you have to reinstall the nvidia drivers, have you tried envy?>
[05:10] <[jonne] > i tried envy, and it didn't work
[05:10] <hossasaur> hello, i'm having troubles with vista/ubuntu dual boot
[05:10] <[jonne] > i tried both beta and stable
[05:10] <howlingmadhowie> jonne: what graphicscard have you got?
[05:10] <base> hello can anyone help me
[05:11] <chris> [jonne] : looks like you got to do it the old fashioned way then, just pretend you never had any drivers installed, because you basically have to re-do the nvidia drivers once your kernel has changed
[05:11] <Adyeths> ok, now I'm really confused. I have SOME pdf documents that I can print. But I have others that will not print no matter what I try. they show up in the print queue. But they are stopped and will not start. Does anyone have any idea how to figure out what the problem is?

[05:11] <howlingmadhowie> jonne: so download the driver from nvidia.com and install it per hand...
[05:11] <novice> can anyone help me to install 3dchess.deb file which is in my HDD
[05:11] <hossasaur> i installed vista first, then ubuntu.  vista didn't like grub on its mbr, and i accidentally resized the ntfs partition.  so, i formatted and reinstalled vista.  i'd like to re-configure grub. i'm reading a quick guide, but it suggests to put grub on hd0, and says that should be the drive where linux is located.  in my case, that's the partition vista is located.
[05:12] <hossasaur> any ideas?
[05:12] <[jonne] > i just want it to work with the nv driver ;)
[05:12] <watson540> novice - dpkg -i file.deb
[05:12] <leny> novice  use the command sudo dpkg -i 3dchess.deb
[05:12] <howlingmadhowie> jonne: it's strange that it doesn't. have you gone through xorg.conf cutting out the extra sections the nvidia configuration script puts in?
[05:12] <watson540> hossasaur - for one i can tell you windows likes to be on the first partition of the first drive
[05:12] <vox754> peegy: the important thing is to install all necessary "drivers". Your Ubuntu install may have all the necessary drivers to make it work as you say; if it doesn't work, then you need to twitch the system.
[05:13] <leny> base: perhaps fire away
[05:13] <watson540> hossasaur - other than that just type 'grub-install /dev/hd0'
[05:13] <novice> watson: y can't we use sudo apt-get install file.deb??
[05:13] <Milosch> what is the RightWay to get xorg sources for ubuntu?
[05:13] <watson540> novice - you can, essentially they both do the same thing, apt uses dpkg :)
[05:13] <vox754> hossasaur: I don't think many Ubuntu people have rushed to the stores to buy Vista to dual boot...
[05:13] <[jonne] > howlingmadhowie: i copied the liveCD xorg.conf file over my old one. I'll try it this way
[05:13] <novice> watson:but its showing some error when i use dat command
[05:13] <[jonne] > need to reboot now
[05:14] <watson540> vox754 - heh, i second that.
[05:14] <chris> vox754: heh :)
[05:14] <watson540> novice - what is the error?
[05:14] <brann> is there a way to tell gnome not to decorate a specific window (i.e. no title bar at all for this window)
[05:14] <ysop> vox754: roflmao
[05:14] <vox754> watson540, chris, ysop : thank you. Just my opinion.

[05:15] <Milosch> i.e. I want to compile the ivtv xdriver and need sources, but want to be sure it will load with my currently install xorg
[05:16] <padge> I've downloaded some 'gtk-engines-whatever' theme packages... Is there something else I have to do to get them to appear in my list of themes?
[05:16] <Adyeths> does anyone have any idea how to fix this printing problem that I'm having?
[05:17] <Frogzoo> padge: drag them into theme manager to install them

[05:21] <ookami> vox754, in windowsXP my drive reports as fat32... in in ubuntu 6.06 it shows as fat16 (according to fdisk -l).... Id like to make sure both OS see this partition as fat32.
[05:22] <base> leny: i it just froze in 64 % and didint continue
[05:22] <Mattias> how can i make update application ignore some specefic applications to not get downgraded/upgraded?
[05:22] <mido> hello every body
[05:22] <padge> Frogzoo: Nevermind.  Thanks anyway, though
[05:23] <novice> i used the command dpkg -i to install 3dchess .... wat is the next command to complete the installation
[05:23] <desp> I cant change the user and login as admin
[05:23] <vox754> ookami: Is there a real problem with that, or just curious? I think that it may be FAT16, though I'm gonna check how to find out.
[05:23] <desp> what can i do
[05:23] <leny> base: how long did you leave it for?

[05:25] <desp> cant even use sudo commnds

[05:25] <unop> desp,  how did you "change" your username-- did you create a new user or modify your user's name?
[05:26] <ookami> vox754, if im correct fat16 does not handle continuous files larger than 4gb? ... and fat32 does?... i could be wrong. i dont want such limitations but i want to keep share between lin and win. i do Anime music video editing (large files)

[05:30] <mindstate> novice: to install a .deb file "sudo dpkg -i file.deb" ..works fine when i do it
[05:30] <Dr_willis> of course that wont install all the dependencies.
[05:30] <njero> hey all, I was trying to help my cousin setup a split boot on his Dell Dimension. I read some horror stories last night about the DELL partition. Anyone have good links or advice before I proceed?
[05:31] <mindstate> Mattias: no i dont..sorry dude
[05:31] <novice> after showing setting up 3dchess ........ it strucks there
[05:31] <Dr_willis> njero,  may be a VERY good idea to track down a 2nd hd for him to install and boot from.
[05:31] <ivx> njero, the only thing is that windows backup partition
[05:31] <njero> hmmm
[05:31] <vox754> njero, I've read them too. Hopefully I don't own one. I think there is plenty of info in the forums.

[05:34] <donatello1>  how do i adjust keyboard detection settings?
[05:34] <kent> is there problems with nvidia-legacy in feisty? I get this from running glxgears: http://pastebin.com/883044    and glxinfo core dumps.
[05:34] <mindstate> hey everyone..i used mdf2iso to convert a .mdf to a iso file..once i get the iso i try to mount it..and i get some weird errors . "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, ..."
[05:34] <vox754> Una^, wow that's something I don't read very often. I'm sorry I can't help you.
[05:35] <unop> Mattias,  what do you mean "stable" in reference to -- that could be a debian term to differentiate between their testing, unstable and stable distros (like dapper, edgy feisty on ubuntu)
[05:35] <ivx> mindstate, what command did you use
[05:35] <donatello1> how do i adjust keyboard detection settings?
[05:35] <njero> Dr_willis, ivx: I once hacked out the ntldr to do a split boot without grub. That might be another option. I wonder does 6.10 allow you to install without grub?
[05:35] <__doc__> hi, I've got a dell inspiron 1100 and a us robotics maxg usb wireless adapter, how do I make that work on ubuntu?
[05:35] <Una^> vox754, heh no worries ill ask elsewhere
[05:35] <Mattias> unop: latest stable from wxPython's own site, which is version 2.8.1.1
[05:35] <mindstate> ivx:  sudo mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 <ISO_File> <Mount_Point>
[05:36] <Mattias> unop: also the applications i use needs it, or they do not work
[05:36] <vox754> donatello1, you want to switch layouts?
[05:36] <ivx> njero, i have never seen an option to not install it, don't know for sure
[05:36] <Dr_willis> njero,  i just use a 2nd hd.. and use the bios boot options to boot that hd.. that way windows never gets touched at all.
[05:36] <donatello1> mindstate: How do i change my keyboard format?
[05:36] <ivx> mindstate, specify the file system in there, prolly ext3
[05:36] <njero> okay... sounds saner... :)
[05:36] <vox754> !iso
[05:36] <ubotu> To mount an ISO disc image, type "sudo mount -o loop my.iso <mountpoint>" There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before burning. Burning .iso files: see !burn
[05:37] <mindstate> donatello1: system --> preferences --> keyboard
[05:37] <donatello1> vox754: no my keyboard is not correctly detected.. i cant print the double quote character
[05:37] <{Nathan}> I'm in gnome, and I have KDE installed. How do I switch to it?
[05:37] <mindstate> ivx: ok ill try that
[05:37] <ivx> mondstate, i don't know for sure though, but i got there error when i didn't have that paremeter once
[05:38] <findeton> hi there
[05:38] <mindstate> ivx: can't hurt to try it..brb
[05:38] <Tiako> Hey
[05:39] <unop> Mattias,  what is the name of the package again?
[05:39] <vox754> __doc__, browse your hardware here http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/List
[05:40] <donatello1> mindstate: i can print a sort of double quote by pressing shift+comma+comma
[05:40] <unop> Mattias,  err, full name i.e. -- dpkg -l | grep -i wxpython
[05:40] <Mattias> unop: all related to wxPython is libwxbase, libwxgtk, python-wxgtk, python-wxversion, they try to update to version 2.6 which is from 1 year ago or something
[05:40] <donatello1> mindstate: changeing the layout did not help
[05:40] <opshlds> hello all. I'm trying to do a multi boot of xp and dapper drake (alt install ) with 3 hard drives. Xp is already installed. Could anyone hook me up with some grub settings for the menu.lst and how i should set it up to install from my harddrive?
[05:40] <vox754> donatello1, I think you can select different keyboards from "gnome-keyboard-properties"
[05:40] <mindstate> donatello1: sounds dumb, but maybe ur keyboard is dirty
[05:40] <Mattias> unop: update -> downgrade i mean
[05:40] <Tiako> Does anyone use Folding at Home?
[05:40] <findeton> i've got this problem: i'm trying to compile a program called gtkguitune in ubuntu but i can't. When running ./configure it says i need to have installed Qt (>= Qt 3.0.1) (headers and libraries). The funny thing is that I've got installed libqt3-headers version 3.3.3
[05:41] <donatello1> mindstate: no its not.. all keys work well in windows (my comps dual booting)
[05:41] <findeton> it says: "checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.0.1) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!"
[05:41] <howlingmadhowie> donatello: where are you clicking for the double quote?
[05:41] <mindstate> findeton: i think it needs the dev files
[05:41] <findeton> uhm
[05:42] <donatello1> howlingmadhowie: i am using shift+comma+comma
[05:42] <donatello1> howlingmadhowie: and get this: 
[05:42] <mindstate> thats weird
[05:42] <mindstate> lmao
[05:42] <howlingmadhowie> donatello: what do you get with shift+2?
[05:42] <opshlds> i'm a newbie in linux and i'm not quite ready to drop windows
[05:43] <Dextorion> Aaawww...  stuffed of pancakes!!!
[05:43] <donatello1> howlingmadhowie: i get @
[05:43] <Dr_willis> shift-comma-comma?
[05:43] <{Nathan}> findeton: You have the headers, but I think you still need the libraries. Search packages.ubuntu.org for them.
[05:43] <findeton> mindstate: which dev files?
[05:43] <mindstate> opshlds: sometime u gotta just jump into it
[05:43] <vox754> __doc__, your card seems to be under the U in the ndiswrapper list. It has a broadcom chipset so chances are it may work with a native driver.
[05:43] <findeton> thanks {Nathan} i'll try
[05:43] <donatello1> Dr_willis: thats a kind of double quote i get... does not seem proper... ()
[05:43] <howlingmadhowie> donatello: what sort of keyboard have you got? us american?
[05:44] <findeton> uhm
[05:44] <findeton> i've got libqt4-dev installed
[05:44] <findeton> !

[05:44] <{Nathan}> libqt3-dev?
[05:44] <donatello1> howlingmadhowie: i think so.. looks like all other keyboards... (has a dollar ($) no euro)
[05:45] <howlingmadhowie> donatello: what happens when you click shift+'
[05:45] <findeton> {Nathan}:  nor that one :P i'll try what u said
[05:45] <findeton> oh
[05:45] <findeton> yes
[05:45] <donatello1> howlingmadhowie: it does not print anything
[05:45] <findeton> i've got libqt3-dev installed
[05:45] <babo> This is really, really, really annoying. Something keeps pressing the mouse button. My caret keeps jumping up to the cursor point. It's not me. I'm not touching it...

[05:46] <donatello1> howlingmadhowie: it is to the left...

[05:50] <vox754> Chadarius, Is that remote control?
[05:50] <donatello1> howlingmadhowie: i can get an apostrphe like this:

[05:52] <howlingmadhowie> ,.;:'`" :)
[05:52] <opshlds> I take that as a no?

[05:52] <donatello1> howlingmadhowie: i cant type a straight apostrophe. It looks like this 
[05:53] <donatello1> howlingmadhowie: i cant type a good double quote as well: 
[05:53] <ameinke> opshlds, what's your problem?
[05:53] <vox754> underdog5004, I use the console to set wireless. The IRC client can be GAIM but he can install Xchat.
[05:53] <donatello1> howlingmadhowie: other keys seem to work correctly
[05:53] <Paddy_EIRE> how much does "Ekiga" and "Wengo" cost to call someone...are they worth using
[05:53] <howlingmadhowie> donatello: what's your keyboard set to?
[05:53] <sebrock> anyone more than me having a problem (or knows what to do) with azureus not shutting down tidy... I get that damn slider with every reboot
[05:53] <donatello1> howlingmadhowie: can you tell me what your keyboard layout is in gnome-keyboard-properties?
[05:54] <underdog5004> vox754, so...iwconfig?
[05:54] <vox754> underdog5004, YES sir.
[05:54] <opshlds> well i'm new to linux and irc for that matter, and I'm trying to install dapper drake onto my second hardrive, i'm using grub4dos, and I keep getting an error when i try to load the grub at the boot menu

[05:55] <opshlds> how do i target a user with a message?
[05:55] <vox754> underdog5004, remember the terminal is great because it does stuff regardless of the desktop, or graphical frontends.
[05:55] <ameinke> mom
[05:55] <howlingmadhowie> donatello: i can imagine that printf doesn't like that...
[05:55] <leny> howlingmadhowie: I got something similar to donatello1 when I mis-instructed the keyboard detection on install.  Fixed it by overwriting /etc/default/console-setup but can't remember where I got the file from.
[05:55] <donatello1> howlingmadhowie: yes!!
[05:56] <underdog5004> i know, but its boring spelling out commands over the phone...
[05:56] <vox754> Paddy_EIRE, sorry, never used them...
[05:56] <donatello1> leny, howlingmadhowie, should i try to edit xorg.conf or something?

[05:57] <Gimpy> hi, I tried to use the ubuntu livecd to test it out, but I don't have a mouse pointer. I looked around but there aren't many straightforward answers for linux newbies like me
[05:57] <howlingmadhowie> donatello: what happens on a console? ctrl+alt+F1 (ctrl+alt+f7 to return to gnome)
[05:57] <varkatope> sudo eject
[05:57] <sebrock> vox754, thing is, it isnt crshing at all, it works fine (well a bit unstable)

[05:59] <vox754> ameinke, you have to use the nickname infront of everything, use the <TAB> key to complete nick names.
[06:00] <donatello1> leny: how should i try it? just type that at the keyboard?
[06:00] <kdu432> #synce
[06:00] <__doc__> vox754: ic, will try
[06:00] <howlingmadhowie> donatello: that's strange. what does /etc/default/locale contain?
[06:00] <mindstate> tcpip: i usually right click the cd-drive in gnome..and eject volume
[06:00] <vox754> __doc__, Alright, check that out.
[06:01] <ameinke> vox754, yes i know that tab trick
[06:01] <donatello1> howlingmadhowie: it has LANG="en_IN"
[06:01] <Brismetal> so, can anyone help me with my problem?  I only have that and one more and I'm ready to delete my windows drive
[06:01] <opshlds> ameinke, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6249/plain/
[06:01] <tcpip> mindstate: i did that.. but the tray did not come out
[06:01] <Brismetal> well, maybe 3 now, azureus takes forever to check a torrent downloading
[06:01] <howlingmadhowie> donatello: what happens if you change the keyboard to uk english and try shift+2 ?
[06:02] <Chadarius> OK I'm losing my mind with with Lirc and an IR Blaster I'm setting up. None of the howto's are working for me... anyone out there get this working that can help?
[06:02] <speedwolf> I'm starting to think I didn't make the best decision trying to install Ubuntu on my hardware
[06:02] <sebrock> vox754, well it's a java problem... try killall java before rebooting and I don't think you will have that message again... what is the name of the shutdown script where I can put that command?
[06:02] <speedwolf> AMD64, NVidia graphics, USB Wifi
[06:02] <vox754> ameinke, you may register in the freenode server, but I haven't tried it. You want to talk privately? you can always create a temporary channel.
[06:02] <donatello1> howlingmadhowie: do the changes made in gnome-kbd-props take effect immediately?
[06:02] <ameinke> opshlds, your root is ram0?
[06:02] <speedwolf> all seem to be the wrong choices
[06:03] <ameinke> vox754, thank your for info
[06:03] <donatello1> howlingmadhowie: because it seems to have no effect changeing to uk english... still get a @
[06:03] <opshlds> ameinke, actually I just saw that, thanks...
[06:03] <vox754> sebrock, I don't know. I have removed azureus since. The only thing I remember was a message with "core failure" or something like that.
[06:04] <smoenux> can someone tell me if there is a good tutorial online for using the Terminal Server Client ?
[06:04] <sebrock> vox754, :(
[06:04] <Gimpy> hi, I tried to use the ubuntu livecd to test it out, but I don't have a mouse pointer. I looked around but there aren't many straightforward answers for linux newbies like me
[06:04] <ameinke> opshlds, on the second line of your linux tag i miss a "slash"
[06:04] <Dr_willis> Gimpy,  what kind of mouse ya got?
[06:05] <Gimpy> Logitech G5

[06:06] <{Nathan}> Every time I start Ubuntu, it runs gnome -- with KDE inside it. Is there a way to fix it? There's a screenshot of it at nathan.homelinux.org/temp/gnomekde.png
[06:06] <Tiako22> Something I can print off that will give me all the basics..
[06:06] <{Nathan}> Just google, there are many tutorials on this
[06:06] <mindstate> tcpip: i just typed eject in my terminal
[06:06] <mindstate> and both my cd roms opened one after the other
[06:06] <opshlds> Is there a way to load grub without the menu gui maybe just console or something?
[06:06] <mindstate> try that

[06:06] <ubotu> Tiako22: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[06:07] <{Nathan}> what is your question, cotyrothery?
[06:07] <tcpip> mindstate: only one is ejecting
[06:07] <ameinke> opshlds, add "hiddenmenu" to your menu.lst
[06:07] <cotyrothery> when i try to run ubuntu it some times shows me the desktop and somethimes nothing and the screen goes blacl
[06:08] <cotyrothery> black
[06:08] <howlingmadhowie> bloody stupid nvidia proprietary driver.  wouldn't let me come back from a console to gnome and then locked the computer :(

[06:09] <{Nathan}> cyphase: Warty? why would you do that?!
[06:09] <cotyrothery> what is the right resouloution
[06:09] <k31th> just upgrading to edgy :s hope it goes well :D
[06:09] <cyphase> {Nathan}: just to see how different it is
[06:09] <mindstate> anyone know if pearpc is in the repo's?
[06:09] <Chadarius> OK I'm losing my mind with with Lirc and an IR Blaster I'm setting up. None of the howto's are working for me... anyone out there get this working that can help?
[06:09] <padge> ardchoille: thanks
[06:09] <Gimpy> so does anyone have a fix for my mouse pointer problem?
[06:09] <donatello1> howlingmadhowie: i think xmodmap might help me... but how do i use it?
[06:09] <tcpip> mindstate: i just checked .. theres only one 'cdrom0' << i think thats my cdburner .. not my dvdnurner
[06:09] <{Nathan}> cyphase: Cool... I never used Warty before -- learned linux when Breezy was out
[06:09] <ameinke> vox754, is it possible to use "pastebin" without an webbrowser?
[06:10] <{Nathan}> ameinke: you can use w3m
[06:10] <cotyrothery> but when it does show the desktop
[06:10] <colutti> Gimpy: is it an usb mouse?
[06:10] <dooglus> {Nathan}: he said 'without a web browser'
[06:10] <cotyrothery> and i go to click install
[06:10] <vox754> ameinke, ??? You mean direct information to another user?
[06:10] <mindstate> tcpip: add your dvd to your fstab .. "gksudo gedit /etc/fstab" .. i'd make a backup copy b4 i altered anything though
[06:10] <cyphase> although not much before
[06:10] <mindstate> ill brb
[06:10] <cotyrothery> nothing happens
[06:10] <{Nathan}> dooglus: True, but he could really mean without an X11 web browser
[06:10] <ameinke> {Nathan}, not pissible to use it directly in my "chat-window"?
[06:10] <Chadarius> ameinke: You can use link or lynx? They are text only terminal browsers
[06:10] <dooglus> {Nathan}: true, but he could really have meant anything
[06:11] <padge> ardchoille: I'm wanting to set an alias for all users and all terminals, including the real ones
[06:11] <tcpip> mindstate: whats the command for mounting temporairly
[06:11] <cotyrothery> can anyone help
[06:11] <howlingmadhowie> donatello: i wonder why xmodmap should be important. it should work without it. try a keydump in a console
[06:11] <ardchoille> padge: What do yo mean? When someone types a command it executes something else?
[06:11] <{Nathan}> ameinke: you an /msg it to someone if you need to
[06:11] <padge> ardchoille: Yes, when someone types 'dir' I want it to execute 'ls -l'
[06:12] <donatello1> howlingmadhowie: oh ok...
[06:12] <bruenig> just teach them ls -l
[06:12] <dooglus> padge: define it in /etc/bash.bashrc
[06:12] <colutti> padge: open /etc/bash.bashrc
[06:12] <GreyGhost> cotyrothery ,nothing whatsoever?
[06:12] <ardchoille> padge: create the file ~/.bash_aliases and put this in it: alias dir='ls -l'
[06:12] <colutti> padge:  write alias dir="ls -l"
[06:12] <cotyrothery> so what do i do
[06:13] <cotyrothery> i want to install it
[06:13] <padge> ardchoille: Wouldn't that make it only for my user?
[06:13] <AJIEXA> hi all
[06:13] <AJIEXA> help me plz sombody ... i try to use a program (cdcollect) to organize my mp3 CD and DVD and read MP3 tags

[06:13] <GreyGhost> cotyrothery ,u mean to say u double clicked "install" and it didnt respond at all?
[06:13] <ardchoille> padge: Well, yes, you'd need to do that for each user.
[06:13] <cotyrothery> yep i got nothing
[06:13] <donatello1> howlingmadhowie: can anything be done? .. i need to fix it... ive found the following in my xorg.conf : Section "InputDevice"

[06:13] <colutti> padge: youre welcome
[06:13] <sha1sum> what's up all?  I have a suggestion to add to the 6.10 edgy release, but I don't know where to add it on the website... I'm using xubuntu, but I'm unsure of whether the same occurs in other flavors of ubuntu releases... I don't believe that usbhid is loaded as a module post-install by default. I just had no input devices whatsoever and ended up having to cold poweroff and plug in a ps2 so I could add usbhid to /etc/modules [more]

[06:14] <{Nathan}> padge: For system wide things, use /etc/rc.local
[06:14] <sha1sum> is there a detection of connected USB devices during install-from-CD?  if so, I was using a KVM switch and it was set to my other system, so that's definitely possible, but if not, maybe usbhid should be added by default?
[06:14] <donatello1> howlingmadhowie: then what should it be? 105?
[06:14] <speedwolf> anyone know why I can't install an inf file with ndiswrapper?

[06:16] <vox754> speedwolf, go to #ndiswrapper
[06:16] <Gimpy> colutti : I saw something about HWCursor off in xlog.conf
[06:16] <donatello1> howlingmadhowie: k.. il try that out and get back here!
[06:16] <{Nathan}> speedwolf: Is it on the CD or your hard drive?
[06:16] <speedwolf> vox754: thanks will do
[06:16] <dooglus> {Nathan}: it would define an alias in the shell which runs rc.local, but no other shells
[06:16] <sha1sum> I think that some people got the first half of my question, and the others got the other half, but nobody really saw them in their full glory heh
[06:16] <[{-Thanatos] }-> what is the basic shell command for moving up a directory?

[06:18] <rylan> Chadarius, and i mean CHEAP, like $7
[06:18] <findeton> i'm on ubuntu edgy and gnome, and before upgrading, gtkguitune worked fine, but now it doesn't work (it hungs up). If i execute it on a console, it shows this kind of error many times: "Gtk---CRITICAL **: file widget.cc: line 32 (Gdk_Window Gtk::Widget::get_window() const): assertion `is_realized()' failed."
[06:18] <da> 
[06:18] <findeton> what can it be?
[06:19] <howlingmadhowie> donatello: oh :( what do you have in system->preferences->keyboard preferences->layouts->model ?
[06:19] <Chadarius> rylan: and what happens when you plug it in?
[06:19] <rylan> Chadarius, whole lot of nothing,
[06:19] <[{-Thanatos] }-> The brackets are there so I don't have a nick conflict. there's always someone else

[06:19] <coty> anyone at all that can help
[06:19] <Chadarius> rylan: you get anything from it if you type "lsusb"
[06:19] <sha1sum> erUSUL: I downloaded the edgy release of xubuntu specifically and the usbhid devices worked excellently in the livecd environment, but they were not enabled post-install.... I ended up having to poweroff because I had no pointer or keyboard device and powering back on with a ps2 keyboard, and entering a line for 'usbhid' in /etc/modules, reboot, and it was fine

[06:20] <fnf> findeton: Useless suggestion, but you shouldn't expect an alpha version to be successfully upgraded.
[06:20] <ardchoille> Thanatos_: Much better, thnk you :)
[06:20] <howlingmadhowie> donatello: maybe you should try changing it to 104 :)
[06:20] <fnf> findeton: Best way would be firing a bug report.
[06:20] <findeton> fnf so what do u recommend me?
[06:20] <Thanatos_> it says it's owned by someone else

[06:22] <[Jonne] > can i do that with the livecd?
[06:22] <vox754> [Jonne] , just don't format it during install. You can always create a spare partition to store data.
[06:22] <AlexC_> coty, try the Alternate CD
[06:22] <HymnToLife> coty, specs on hardware ?
[06:22] <coty> oh
[06:22] <Dr_willis> coty,  sounds like bad hardware, or a bad cd burn.
[06:22] <coty> i have 128 mb of ram
[06:22] <donatello1> howlingmadhowie, you were saying something about dumpkeys...
[06:22] <Dr_willis> 128mb - ICK. :)
[06:22] <coty> ya
[06:23] <sha1sum> erUSUL: what's REALLY weird is that all of my sources for apt are using edgy.... but my iso and the torrent I used to download the install cd are both named for feisty fawn
[06:23] <Chadarius> rylan: try googling or searching on ubuntuforums.org for the text that you got with lsusb and see if anything pops up
[06:23] <donatello1> howlingmadhowie, i did that.. now what?
[06:23] <sharperguy> How do i get my super (windows) key borking on my UK keyboard (it was working until I reinstalled edgy)
[06:23] <sha1sum> which I was more-than-willing to try
[06:23] <Dr_willis> use the alternative instll cd then. Not the live cd.
[06:23] <fnf> [Jonne] : Make a new partition then set the /home mount point to that partition durng setup. You can configure it later though.
[06:23] <coty> it is a 7 year old pc
[06:23] <howlingmadhowie> donatello: yeah. have a look at what's in the keydump
[06:23] <sha1sum> but apparently I wasn't meant to have feisty
[06:23] <sha1sum> heh
[06:23] <phaedra> coty, Try xubutu with that ram...
[06:23] <Dr_willis> coty,  you may want to check into alternative LIGHT linux disrtos  - like xubuntu, or DSL, or Puppylinux
[06:23] <coty> is it better
[06:23] <HymnToLife> [Jonne] , http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome
[06:23] <coty> ok
[06:23] <xopher-> sharperguy, open gnome-keyboard-preferences and select the appropriate layout from the list
[06:23] <mindstate> coty or knoppix live-cd
[06:23] <coty> i have xubuntu on the way
[06:23] <Thanatos_> I'm having trouble specifying a mount directory to mount my ntfs partition to. I made a folder on my desktop, and I'd like to use that. it's called mediadisk
[06:23] <[Jonne] > vox754, if i install it without formatting, my home dir will still be where it was?
[06:23] <soundray> mindstate: knoppix won't run well in 128 MB
[06:23] <coty> I dont have a burner
[06:24] <phaedra> coty, The alternate would be best...
[06:24] <Dr_willis> set up the hd with a swap partition - will help some. :) the live cds should see that swap partition and use it
[06:24] <vox754> coty, plesae, giving your specifications at the beginning would've helped you earlier.
[06:24] <coty> ok
[06:24] <rylan> Chadarius, thank god for google.
[06:24] <erUSUL> sha1sum: !!! maybe you should go and ask in #ubuntu+1 (feysty channel)
[06:24] <coty> let me get them for you
[06:24] <coty> one sec
[06:24] <mindstate> soundray: ran ok for me..but i guess we all have our own definition of what well is
[06:24] <sharperguy> xopher-, I'm using the same one I was before I think
[06:24] <findeton> fnf, is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtkguitune/+bugs where i should fire the report?
[06:25] <sha1sum> erUSUL: nifty... there's a channel for everything now lol
[06:25] <xopher-> sharperguy yeah, but reselecting it might just do the trick.
[06:25] <vox754> [Jonne] , depends on whether you created the /home as a different partition (recommended). The root directory along with /usr and /opt and so, must all be formated.
[06:25] <ameinke> how can i get my xchat "menu" back?
[06:25] <Dr_willis> which xchat menu?
[06:25] <mindstate> anyone got pearpc emulator working ? i just installed via apt..and cant seem to find the command to run it
[06:25] <sharperguy> xopher-, ill try it
[06:25] <Dr_willis> !info pearpc
[06:25] <ubotu> pearpc: PowerPC architecture emulator. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4.0-1 (edgy), package size 340 kB, installed size 948 kB (Only available for any-i386 any-amd64)
[06:25] <vox754> soundray, I think it does. Knoppix needs like 32 MB for text install.
[06:25] <mindstate> i know wut pear pc is
[06:25] <[Jonne] > so i could create a new partition with gparted, and move /home/ to the other partition?
[06:25] <coty> were should i look for my specs
[06:25] <ameinke> the one at the chat window
[06:25] <soundray> mindstate: try 'dpkg -L pearpc | grep bin' to see the executables
[06:25] <coty> on the hardware
[06:25] <Dr_willis> mindstate,  check the package manager and see what file it installed.
[06:25] <[Jonne] > then reinstall
I'm having trouble specifying a mount directory to mount my ntfs partition to. I made a folder on my desktop, and I'd like to use that. it's called mediadisk
[06:26] <fnf> findeton: You may look at the left panel, there should be a "Report a Bug" link.
[06:26] <blackest> anyone know how to reduce refresh rate and resolution on a live cd boot
[06:26] <mindstate> soundray: thanks ..and Dr_willis thanks
[06:26] <ameinke> Dr_willis, the on above the chat window
[06:26] <coty> were do i look for hardware specs on my computer
[06:26] <findeton> fnf that's it thanks
[06:26] <Dr_willis> ameinke,  you mean the 'xchat view server settings window help' menu items?
[06:26] <vox754> [Jonne] , you got that right!
[06:26] <ameinke> Dr_willis, right
[06:27] <phaedra> Thanatos_, I mounted mine under /mnt/windows and used a symlink on the desktop.  That might be better
[06:27] <Dr_willis> ameinke,  hit ctrl-f9
[06:27] <leny> What do I do to get auctex working on xemacs?
[06:27] <ameinke> Dr_willis, thanks
[06:27] <mindstate> soundray: thanks yo...worked perfect
[06:27] <soundray> vox754: Knoppix isn't designed primarily for installation, it's designed as a graphical live CD ROM. As such, you should give it 256MB or more for a reasonable desktop experience, which in my opinion includes running OpenOffice.
[06:27] <coty> does anyone know were to look for hardware specs
[06:27] <Dr_willis> ameinke,  at least thats is the key combo listed in the menus to hide the menus
[06:27] <donatello1> howlingmadhowie, oh my god!! i can type apostrophe with altRt+apostrophe (') and double quote with altRt+shift+apostrphe (")
[06:27] <gop> if I get a portable 60 gig hd
[06:28] <gop> segate
[06:28] <gop> can I install ubuntu
[06:28] <howlingmadhowie> donatello: well at least that's something :)
[06:28] <gop> and plug it in in any pc and it runs
[06:28] <base> hello can i get some help here?
[06:28] <gop> does any one know
[06:28] <AlexC_> gop:  you'll need the rest of the PC to go with it :P
[06:28] <vox754> coty, Info is RAM, motherboard, video card, sound card, ethernet, wireless. You probably need only to know the first three.
[06:28] <ameinke> Dr_willis, without the menu i cant get the key comb.
[06:28] <soundray> coty: 'cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep model\ name' would be important
[06:28] <mindstate> donatello1: thats so weird dude
[06:28] <ardchoille> AlexC_: hahaha
[06:28] <gop> alex it won't work like a live cd
[06:28] <gop> AlexC_,  hahaha
[06:28] <AlexC_> !ask | gop
[06:28] <ubotu> gop: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:28] <Dr_willis> ameinke,  yep - catch 33
[06:28] <AlexC_> sorry, wrong person
[06:28] <gop> I did I just asked my question
[06:28] <AlexC_> !ask | base
[06:28] <ubotu> base: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:28] <gop> oh
[06:28] <coty> I dont know were to find my computer hardware specs
[06:28] <AlexC_> gop: yeah, wrong person :P sorry
[06:28] <donatello1> howlingmadhowie, mindstate yup... but atleast my c programs can run now...
[06:29] <Thanatos_> how do i make a directory in shell?
[06:29] <AlexC_> mkdir
[06:29] <gop> ALex so I can't take my portable 60 gig hd anywhere and boot from it
[06:29] <donatello1> howlingmadhowie, mindstate should i file a bug or support request on launchpad?
[06:29] <[Jonne] > how many gigs should i allocate for Ubuntu (OS + apps?)
[06:29] <vox754> soundray, Yes. I guess you are right with the Knoppix thing. I don't recall the exact specifications right now.
[06:29] <blackest> gop how are you connecting it usb ?
[06:29] <base> my media player is asking for plugins
[06:29] <gop> yea
[06:29] <soundray> Thanatos_: mkdir
[06:29] <AlexC_> !mp3 | base

[06:29] <base> no mpg
[06:29] <blackest> it is definately possible
[06:29] <gop> I want to use like I am using my flash usb thumb drive
[06:29] <AlexC_> !mpg | base
[06:29] <vox754> [Jonne] , 3 GB minimum. You plan to install everything? Probably 15 GB.
[06:29] <rylan> Chadarius, so how do i go about installing this driver.
[06:29] <Thanatos_> AlexC- Thanks
[06:29] <soundray> !cli > Thanatos_, have a look at your pms
[06:29] <gop> where I plug it it in anywher eit works
 were do i find my hardware specs
[06:29] <base> yes
[06:30] <blackest> it should work pretty similar gop
[06:30] <gop> and it boots via usb
[06:30] <howlingmadhowie> donatello: maybe your keyboard has something strange about it which would be trivial to support. i'd file a bug report :)
[06:30] <ardchoille> [Jonne] : I have my Dapper heavily customised and my hda1 is only 4Gb
[06:30] <AlexC_> coty: Ubotu is a bot ... not a human
[06:30] <gop> blackest,  so if I do a full install
[06:30] <[Jonne] > disk usage manager says my old install was +/- 10G, excluding home
[06:30] <coty> LOL
[06:30] <speedwolf> Nathan: Gah! Latest drivers are in windows installers, cabs, exes and the like
[06:30] <gop> I can go to work computer or school computer and boot up
[06:30] <gop> ubuntu
[06:30] <Chadarius> rylan: Might want to search the ubuntu packages to see if its already in the reposiboty
[06:30] <gop> hmm
[06:30] <AlexC_> !enter | gop
[06:30] <[Jonne] > so i guess 15 then
[06:30] <ubotu> gop: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[06:30] <soundray> coty: 'cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep model\ name'
[06:30] <Chadarius> rylan: repository
[06:30] <rylan> Chadarius, thats a good idea
[06:30] <{Nathan}> speedwolf: For many .exe's, you can unzip them
[06:30] <coty> what si that soundray
[06:30] <howlingmadhowie> i've gotta go work. have fun :)
[06:30] <blackest> yep reckon so the only tricky bit is grub but there are howto's to do it
[06:30] <gop> is 60 gigs for 60 usd, a good price for a protable usb drive blackest
[06:30] <soundray> coty: a command to run in the terminal once you've booted live
[06:31] <Chadarius> rylan: also search the forums and the wikis to see if anyone has already written a howto about it
[06:31] <soundray> coty: oh, you can't do that, sorry
[06:31] <blackest> not my country gop
[06:31] <isakill> I can't get sound to work properly in KDE
[06:31] <coty> nope i cant
[06:31] <coty> well i can
[06:31] <soundray> coty: not to worry
[06:31] <coty> but it messes up on me
[06:31] <Thanatos_> ok, so I go into terminal, go to the mnt directory, and type "mkdir windows" and it says permission denied. I type "sudo mkdir windows" and put my password, and it doesn't work either
[06:31] <vox754> [Jonne] , nobody knows your system better than yourself, so allocate as much space as you need.
[06:31] <coty> why should i not worry
[06:31] <AlexC_> Thanatos_: define "Doesn't Work"
[06:31] <soundray> coty: 7 years old and 128 MB RAM is enough to know that the best recommendation here would be to use xubuntu
[06:31] <minntc> I'm looking for resources on optimizing reiserfs on raid5
[06:31] <rylan> Chadarius, thanks

[06:32] <coty> way
[06:32] <coty> will that work
[06:32] <soundray> coty: kubuntu won't work
[06:32] <rylan> Chadarius, readme file says "cd to the folder its in then make, make install." does that make sence to you?
[06:32] <coty> why not
[06:32] <{Nathan}> rylan: yes
[06:32] <coty> someone said it would
[06:32] <soundray> coty: because ubuntu hasn't worked
[06:33] <[QUEEN] > anyone want to help a rubber girl who is having some ubuntu problems
[06:33] <soundray> coty: kubuntu has the same RAM requirements
[06:33] <[QUEEN] > i will trade pr0n
[06:33] <ardchoille> coty: I believe (k)Ubuntu needs 192Mb ram to function properly
[06:33] <[QUEEN] > for assitance <3
[06:33] <base> hello
[06:33] <Thanatos_> sorry, mkdir: cannot create directory `windows': Permission denied
[06:33] <Chadarius> rylan: Yep... you need to download the driver (probably a XXX.tar.gz file), then extract the files to a directory, then you need to compile and install it
[06:33] <AlexC_> !anyone Z [QUEEN]

[06:33] <base> hello
[06:33] <colutti> [QUEEN] : whats going on?
[06:33] <vox754> coty, I think you really have and old computer. And you don't seem well prepared to handle a complete Linux distribution. You may need to buy a new PC, or a used one that better supports what you want. Otherwise, you need to do everything from the command line.
[06:33] <Chadarius> rylan: its the spca5xx driver right?
[06:33] <rylan> Chadarius, , ok, can you explain that to me in plain step by step english
[06:33] <ardchoille> coty: close != is

[06:50] <geemy> ya me too
[06:50] <colutti> Gimpy: worked?
[06:50] <sha256sum> just do a filter for any strings coming through with "cDc cDc" and gline them for a good chunk of time
[06:50] <sha256sum> heh
[06:50] <Gimpy> Yes Sir
[06:50] <Chadarius> rylan: ok and that's in /home/rylan/drivers then
[06:50] <Mattias> i just noticed, why is half the screen fading to blurry ? i mean, it gose from clear on the left side and fades into little blurry to the right, i can see it clearly when viewing websites or something
[06:51] <colutti> Gimpy: nice
[06:51] <Gimpy> Yeah, thanks a lot.
[06:51] <gordonjcp> hm
[06:51] <raptros-v76> isakill: so, you switched to kde, now sound doesnt work
[06:51] <colutti> Gimpy: you are welcome
[06:51] <Thanatos_> Please help me mount this drive, anyone. ok, i type "sudo mkdir -t ntfs /dev/hda /mnt/windows" I get "mount: /dev/hda already mounted or /mnt/windows busy".  When I try to browse the partition in disks manager, it says I don't have the permission. Is it already mounted?
[06:51] <isakill> yes
[06:51] <rylan> Chadarius,  so i write what in terminal?
[06:51] <gordonjcp> I have a few DS3s sitting spare, would it be rude of me to packet OracleGD into oblivion?
[06:51] <raptros-v76> isakill: and its a .. soundblaster?
[06:51] <mc44> numist: thank you kindly
[06:51] <isakill> yes
[06:51] <xtknight> gordonjcp: not rude but immature
[06:52] <anandanbu> hi
[06:52] <Chadarius> rylan: Is there another directory in the drivers directory or are all the files direclty in there
[06:52] <xtknight> gordonjcp: dont feed the trolls just let them go
[06:52] <numist> welcome.  was hoping a real chanop was watching but alas
[06:52] <gordonjcp> xtknight: pfff, I'm 33, I can live with immature
[06:52] <fr500> how can i create an lvm volume on an empty hdd?
[06:52] <isakill> there IS an internal sound system on the motherboard but I think it's disabled
[06:52] <xtknight> waste of good bandwidth anyways
[06:52] <gordonjcp> yeah, where are all the ops?
[06:52] <cchance> how do i make a link from /var/www to /home/owner/desktop/webserver?
[06:52] <rp3> where is the default location for wallpapers?
[06:52] <morrolan> Setting up SSH, both computers on Ubuntu Edgy, can login directly using IP address but not over the internet using DynDNS and port-forwarding - can't login using WAN IP address either.
[06:52] <raptros-v76> isakill: hmm try the sound system control thing
[06:52] <Chadarius> rylan: Should see stuff like README etc... in there
[06:52] <rylan> Chadarius,  there is the .tar.gz and another driver.
[06:52] <raptros-v76> take a look in there
[06:52] <bobjones_>  hi all, can someone give me a few pointers on mounting a smb share via fstab in edgy? i cant seem to make the share user mountable, iam passing user as an option
[06:52] <sha256sum> hey they say kids laugh 400+ times per day, and adults laugh around 40... I'd venture to say that immaturity is "called for," if you will, on certain occasions
[06:52] <sha256sum> lol

[06:53] <xtknight> meh sure adults can have their fun too i guess but is ping flooding 'fun'?
[06:53] <rp3> thnx
[06:53] <rylan> Chadarius, ah, then its /home/rylan/drivers/gspcav1-20070110
[06:53] <vox754> sha256sum, what has just happened?
[06:53] <raptros-v76> isakill: are you there?
[06:53] <Artheg> Huhu
[06:53] <shatrat> bobjones_, theres an article about mounting windows shares permanently at help.ubuntu.com
[06:53] <Chadarius> rylan: Ok that's is where we need to be. cd into that directory
[06:53] <xtknight> rp3: /usr/share/pixmaps/backgrounds rather (mistyped)
[06:53] <cchance> how do i make a link from /var/www to /home/owner/desktop/webserver?
[06:53] <isakill> yeah
[06:54] <isakill> doesn't list any hardware
[06:54] <anandanbu> problems with edgy EFT in the Internet connection can someone help me
[06:54] <LonerVamp> not to be a stickler, but that was chat flooding, not ping flooding.
[06:54] <h3sp4wn> morrolan: I would not expect you to see the effects from inside the network of any forwarding
[06:54] <sha256sum> vox754: you took a chemical called rufenol while drinking
[06:54] <sha256sum> heh
[06:54] <rylan> Chadarius, ok so i write cd /home/rylan/drivers/gspcav1-20070110/
[06:54] <sha256sum> check and see if you still have kidneys
[06:54] <raptros-v76> isakill: give me a minute, ill go look for something
[06:54] <Chadarius> rylan: yeah
[06:54] <isakill> ok
[06:54] <morrolan> h3sp4wn: I was thinking that, but I wanted to test the DynDNS connection and port-forwarding before I drove 40 miles, only to find it doesn't work :(
[06:55] <Chadarius> rylan: then just type "make" and hit enter
[06:55] <bobjones_> shatrat, thanks ill checkitout
[06:55] <isakill> thank you raptros-v76
[06:55] <h3sp4wn> morrolan: you can test it with an online port scanner
[06:55] <Chadarius> rylan: then when that is done type "sudo make install" and hit enter
[06:55] <morrolan> h3sp4wn can you recommend one please?
[06:55] <cchance> how do i make a link from /var/www to /home/owner/desktop/webserver?
[06:55] <cchance> how do i make a link from /var/www to /home/owner/desktop/webserver?
[06:55] <rylan> Chadarius, ok, we have drivers driverizing as we speak
[06:55] <Fieldy> cchance: please stop repeating
[06:55] <h3sp4wn> morrolan: Don't know one from the top of my head I just use nmap from an external machine
[06:56] <agliv5> Ubuntu networking for beginners??? no connectivity???  help please???
[06:56] <vox754> sha256sum, I guess you are into chemistry... or drugs. Either way, let's get back to Linux. It's not our fault he doesn't follow the instructions to watch MPEG. These are piece of cake on Ubuntu.
[06:56] <cchance> Fieldy, well if you would give me the answer i wouldent have too
[06:56] <Fieldy> cchance: riiight.
[06:56] <xtknight> cchance: sudo ln -s /var/www/ /home/owner/desktop/webserver
[06:56] <Fieldy> man ln, it's in there
[06:56] <Desp> hey
[06:57] <Desp> I cant use sudo or su commands
[06:57] <xtknight> Desp: why?
[06:57] <Desp> I changed the user name
[06:57] <cchance> sudo ln -s /var/www/ /home/owner/desktop/webserve
[06:57] <h3sp4wn> morrolan: maybe look into fail2ban if you don't want people trying to get into your connection constantly
[06:57] <Desp> and i cant login as admin
[06:57] <raptros-v76> isakill: what model of sound card?
[06:57] <xtknight> Desp: alright, go in to ubuntu recovery mode and i think you need to add your user to the sudo group
[06:57] <cchance> owner@cchance:~$ sudo ln -s /var/www/ /home/owner/desktop/webserver
[06:57] <cchance> ln: creating symbolic link `/home/owner/desktop/webserver' to `/var/www/': No such file or directory

[06:57] <emet> what is the name of the binary ATI driver

[06:59] <Desp> yes

[06:59] <isakill> I've also noticed the tab function quit working :/
[06:59] <GigaClon> every usbdisk HDD I plug in is deemed "Read-only" how can I change this

[07:00] <patrialt> yea, xtk
[07:00] <AlexC_> xtknight: yes there is
[07:00] <xtknight> ah sorry i dot know
[07:00] <xtknight> GigaClon: umm mount them as read/write?
[07:00] <Desp> master you mean ?
[07:00] <xtknight> Desp: master ... ?
[07:01] <Desp> there is ubuntu recovory mode
[07:01] <GigaClon> it mounts them automatically when i plug them in
[07:01] <Desp> but it take me to login window
[07:01] <xtknight> GigaClon: hm perhaps they're in fstab.
[07:02] <vox754> GigaClon, probably need to change the "/etc/fstab". I think they use FAT32 so you add the option "rw"
[07:02] <Desp> ubuntu kernal recovery mode
[07:02] <GigaClon> its isn't in fstab
[07:02] <GigaClon> its just an ipod that im using as a harddrive

[07:04] <minntc> anyone know why the livecd has reiser4progs but can't mount a reiser4 partition?
[07:04] <patrialt> is there a command to force a program to end?
[07:04] <vox754> Thanatos_, you can create a temporary channel just for yourself. #thanatos then ask people to help there in private.
[07:04] <agliv5> does anyone know of a good guide to setting up a ethernet connection between 2 ubuntu boxes?
[07:04] <geemy> i have a rather simple sounding question
[07:04] <mindstate> patrialt: kill
[07:05] <xtknight> minntc: reiser4progs is a toolset.  resiser4 is an unofficial kernel patch that is not in ANY distro at the moment
[07:05] <geemy> how do i see my second hadd
[07:05] <minntc> patrialt: kill

[07:05] <patrialt> ty
[07:05] <shatrat> patrialt, you could try xkill if its a window you want to close
[07:05] <yeniklasor> fdisk
[07:05] <gordonjcp> morrolan: what I do is I forward a "different" port, so (for instance) port 32222 outside forwards to port 22 on my server
[07:05] <xtknight> agliv5: you need a crossover cable, then set static ip on each pc you should be able to get it to wrok
[07:05] <sha256sum> patrialt: if kill doesn't work try: killall <command>
[07:05] <patrialt> nah, it's a procoess "avgupdate"
[07:05] <Desp> give root password for maintenance (or type control-d to continue)
[07:05] <Desp> so ?
[07:05] <geemy> fdisk?
[07:05] <xtknight> Desp: sorry i'm not sure

[07:06] <Desp> same msg
[07:06] <HymnToLife> did you set a root password ?
[07:06] <xtknight> if ubuntu says that, it's broken

[07:07] <noiano> Hello everybody
[07:07] <agliv5> xtknight, no
[07:07] <Desp> no man
[07:07] <xtknight> Desp: you'd have to start a livecd and then fix your broken local system from there.  it does not mean you set a pw, it means ubuntu is broken
[07:07] <Desp> i know the root passwd
[07:08] <noiano> is there a graphic tool to manage wireless connection in gnome?

[07:08] <xtknight> Desp: that would be easiest
[07:08] <StoneNote> I'm following the directions at the end of the ubuntu guide to do a dist-upgrade from egdy to feisty.  Are there any 'gotchas' that come to mind that I should know about at this time?

[07:11] <xtknight> slippyr4: gksu or gksudo
[07:11] <ardchoille> slippyr4: gksudo
[07:11] <yeniklasor> anyone know Samba network article?

[07:12] <hartvig^> Hi, how can i install Flash player on my system?
[07:12] <AlexC_> minntc: you can install the packages to make up a LAMP server, yes. But you would be better of installing the Server CD

[07:12] <slippyr4> gksudo seems to work, thanks andchoille : what would gksuexec do that i might like then?
[07:12] <vox754> LjL, where you been? you've missing all the fun.
[07:12] <xtknight> tld: the debian people are generally more dev oriented ,they can prolly give you a package name that you can install on debian or ubuntu
[07:12] <hartvig^> ty xtknight ;D
[07:13] <LjL> vox754: yeah, i noticed already :)
[07:13] <ardchoille> slippyr4: Open a term and run  gksuexec, I thik you'll like it.
[07:13] <slippyr4> ardchoille: i don't have it installed
[07:13] <minntc> AlexC_: I'm installing onto a raid array, two drives of which are on a controller not recognized by the server or alternate discs, but it is recognized on the desktop cd.
[07:13] <vox754> LjL, New Zealand, remember that.
[07:13] <gsiener> Trying to use nvidia with nforce2/Xorg.  When I first boot up, X shows the splash screen, then a blue screen and the wait cursor, then screen is black but I can see/move the mouse

[07:15] <ardchoille> slippyr4: Yes it is, it's just that the menu item is hidden. You haven't checked it in the alacarte menu editor.
[07:15] <minntc> soundray: know much about raid on linux?
[07:15] <slippyr4> ardchoille: nope, that menu doesn't exist
[07:15] <AlexC_> LjL: may I PM you to talk about ops?
[07:15] <slippyr4> alacarte menu editor?
[07:15] <kexman> i just installed ubuntu into a vmware machine, can i somehow port this installation to another partition and use it without vmware ?
[07:15] <ardchoille> slippyr4: Are you running Dapper or Edgy with gnome desktop
[07:15] <coNP> kexman: I guess not trivially
[07:15] <coNP> kexman: but you can copy it and make bootable
[07:15] <soundray> minntc: enough to know that it's not worth the effort in most cases ;)

[07:16] <robdeman> hi folks
[07:16] <Icehawk78> I have a bit of a beginner's question, and unfortunately don't know enough to know quite *what* I need to ask for.
[07:16] <mindstate> patrialt: i use cli
[07:17] <ardchoille> slippyr4: I guess Edgy doesn't install it.. that's too bad, it's a nice little app.
[07:17] <Gimpy> damn
[07:17] <Gimpy> I wish I could install ubuntu.... but then i'd lose all my games an applications from windows
[07:17] <Gimpy> what to do :\
[07:17] <patrialt> conp i didn't see anything about antivirus as i scrolled up
[07:17] <Se22> hello, it is possible to change the system default language ?
[07:17] <robdeman> dudes I did a sudo rm -f /var/log/apache/www.domainname.com-error.log
[07:17] <slippyr4> how can i work out what package it's in?
[07:17] <kjl> Gimpy: noty true
[07:17] <kexman> coNP well yes i would be booting to a livecd then mount my / to a dir then mount the new / to another dir copy then make bootable ... but what about vmwaremachine != my machine ! so kernel should be remade ... right ?
[07:17] <coNP> !virus | patrialt
[07:17] <robdeman> but my logfile is gone rnow
[07:17] <ubotu> patrialt: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[07:18] <slippyr4> archoille: how can i work out what package it's in?
[07:18] <Gimpy> ?
[07:18] <robdeman> I hoped that apache would create a new /var/log/apache/www.domainname.com-error.log
[07:18] <robdeman> I restarted apache
[07:18] <slippyr4> gimpy: buy a wii and bin windows
[07:18] <patrialt> is that a big explanation about how linux isn't targetted by all the viruses that are created?
[07:18] <Freezeil> i'm having trouble installing both Ubuntu 6.10 and Ubuntu 6.06
[07:18] <kjl> Gimpy: You can install Ubuntu side by side with' Windows
[07:18] <robdeman> why doesnt it create a new /var/log/apache/www.domainname.com-error.log
[07:18] <morrolan> h3sp4wn - it seems to connect (I don't know the protocol for SSH) and it asks for the password, then just fails me three times, whether I use my account password on the remote machine, or the dsa passphrase I created and copied to the remote server (whilst it is local)
[07:18] <Freezeil> 6.10 gives me an "I/O error" box and then restarts, and 6.06 goes through a few mins and then "Uncompressing files... Ok, booting to kernel", and then it does nothing
[07:18] <coNP> robdeman: I guess the log is created, but not the directory
[07:18] <Crescendo> I'm trying to connect to my SSH servers, and I'm getting "Nautilus cannot display "ssh://martindale@gwing.net".  Please select a different viewer and try again."
[07:18] <minntc> soundray: yeah, the TLDP doc is using LVM, which is only good for RAID0/1. The second doc is for people with hardware RAID, not software (via mdadm) which is what I'm using
[07:18] <Freezeil> what am i doing wrong?
[07:18] <robdeman> coNP: /var/log/apache/www.domainname.com-error.log is a text file not a directopry right?
[07:18] <kexman> i just saw a PS2 boot yesterday :)
[07:18] <AlexC_> Freezeil: do you have a Core 2 Duo?
[07:19] <robdeman> coNP: ohg its /var/log/apache2/www.domainname.com-error.log
[07:19] <mindstate> hey everyone..i used mdf2iso to convert a .mdf to a iso file..once i get the iso i try to mount it..and i get some weird errors . "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, ..."
[07:19] <Freezeil> AlexC_: yes
[07:19] <xtknight> ahhh core 2 duo
[07:19] <Gimpy> ooo
[07:19] <Se22> hello, it is possible to change the system default language ?
[07:19] <xtknight> i can help you there
[07:19] <Gimpy> well i dunno can I still run all my games
[07:19] <AlexC_> Freezeil: Ok....could be fun. ahhh, talk to xtknight!
[07:19] <robdeman> coNP: but anyway there are other domains creating error logs in /var/log/apache2
[07:19] <exploit>  is there any driver or app which can detect my mmc  hardware?
[07:19] <xtknight> thanks i wouldnt have even thought of it
[07:19] <exploit>  is there any driver or app which can detect my mmc  hardware?
[07:19] <Freezeil> xtknight: what should i do?
[07:19] <Icehawk78> I recently set up a LAMP server, and set up, among other things, FTP support. So currently when I want to upload something into my web server, I have to manually add it to my /var/www folder from my personal folder... Is there a way to either create a link or soemthing like that to let me FTP directly into that folder?
[07:19] <robdeman> coNP: but the one I removed as goner
[07:19] <kjl> Gimpy: by rebooting into Windows.
[07:19] <soundray> minntc: what's your RAID question?
[07:19] <Se22> how to change system language?
[07:19] <kexman> does ubuntu have anything like automatic kernel maker ?
[07:19] <xtknight> Freezeil: umm, you're probably screwed when it comes to ubuntu 6.06~6.10 if you want to know the truth.  but let's make sure.  what motherboard are ou running?
[07:20] <Se22> how to change system language?
[07:20] <Gimpy> lol
[07:20] <Gimpy> I'm on a livecd right now

[07:20] <xtknight> hmm
[07:20] <kjl> Gimpy: I'm serious. That's the only good way.
[07:20] <robdeman> coNP: yes the domain is running.. what do you mean exactly? I just remove dthe error logfile
[07:20] <robdeman> coNP: the domain is still up & running
[07:20] <xtknight> Freezeil: maybe this site will help http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwiki.ubuntu.com%2FCore_2_Duo_Support&ei=cUfXRajpEKCajgGVh73LCQ&usg=__rjboeEgStaW2KhZG5Na0hx-zjWA=&sig2=LOURQP0Hum47c1CIc0jvVw

[07:21] <patrialt> coNP does spyware removal programs apply to linux in the same way as antivirus software?
[07:21] <CrakeHunter> hello, i would like to contribute to improving the ubuntu system. sometimes when a program crashes it shows i coul report the bug. then there is a file listed. how can send this file and the description and to whom should i send it?
[07:21] <soundray> Se22: System-Administration-Language Support
[07:21] <coNP> patrialt: I guess yes
[07:21] <torbit> slippyr4, any special 'hacks' i'd have to do, or would the installer handle it for me?
[07:21] <kjl> Gimpy: Wine isn'r stable yet, and cedega mainly applies for games
[07:21] <patrialt> alright coolies, worry-free xD
[07:21] <AlexC_> CrakeHunter: you could report a bug on Launchpad,
[07:21] <AlexC_> !launchpad | CrakeHunter

[07:21] <Freezeil> so i basically can't install Ubuntu due to having a new computer?
[07:22] <patrialt> im my computer's own worse enemy >.<
[07:22] <coNP> why not, Freezeil?
[07:22] <slippyr4> torbit: i very much doubt the installer would handle it, you';d need to install, then boot to a live cd then setup grub again manually
[07:22] <AlexC_> Freezeil: No, I have a Core 2 Duo .. the problem comes with the JMIcron IDE/SATA controller that conflics with the Linux Kernel
[07:22] <patrialt> lol
[07:22] <soundray> Freezeil: please try a few boot options
[07:22] <xtknight> Freezeil: not sure, see if that page has any useful info for you
[07:22] <kjl> Gimpy: You can. I am advising you to install Ubuntu alongside with Windows by clicking on "install" and following the directions.

[07:22] <Gimpy> okay kjl , gotcha
[07:22] <Gimpy> i have to go now though
[07:22] <Gimpy> later all
[07:22] <xtknight> cherva: firewall
[07:23] <AlexC_> Freezeil: I had an Abit AB9, I spent 2 weeks trying to get it work ... in the end, I gave up and brought a new motherboard ( AW9D-Max ). There are ways of getting it to work though, like different boot options and/or kernels
[07:23] <Icehawk78> Is there a way to either create a link or soemthing like that to let me FTP directly into a different folder than my personal directory?
[07:23] <soundray> cherva: I don't think you can block an individual program from having net access
[07:23] <Freezeil> ok. i'll read through the pages
[07:23] <Freezeil> thanks
[07:23] <kjl> soundray: you can, but I doubt there is a program for that that we know of...
[07:23] <cherva>  i need to block doom3 because as soon as i have internet and i launch it it says cd  key allready in yse
[07:24] <AlexC_> cherva: don't pirate then?
[07:24] <torbit> solution: buy the game?
[07:24] <slippyr4> cherva: so go and buy doom3 rather than asking us for help in stealing it
[07:24] <mindstate> lol
[07:24] <cherva> noway i'm doing that
[07:24] <phixnay> I'm having trouble modprobing ndiswrapper. "depmod -a" gives a permission denied error, and if I go ahead and modprobe ndiswrapper, or even sudo modprobe ndiswrapper, it "doesn't fit" or something like that
[07:24] <atomiku> Yarr Harr Fiddle ee dee
[07:24] <AlexC_> cherva: then don't expect help.
[07:24] <atomiku> do what you want because a pirate is free
[07:24] <kjl> cherva: why noty?
[07:25] <soundray> cherva: try a free game instead
[07:25] <torbit> doom 3 is like $20 new now
[07:25] <atomiku> like enemy territory
[07:25] <mc44> cherva: please do not ask for help with illegal things in here
[07:25] <kjl> cherva: i can help, but only if you buy doom3
[07:25] <slippyr4> kjl: he wouldnt need help if he bought it
[07:25] <AlexC_> slippyr4: true, true
[07:25] <cherva> i will never buy a game i have only Guild Wars original i'll find a way to block it
[07:25] <atomiku> ...
[07:26] <slippyr4> cherva: why will you never buy a game?
[07:26] <hoagie> Hello people
[07:26] <Icehawk78> Is there a linux command line equivalent to a Windows "shortcut" into another folder?
[07:26] <Freezeil> umm... the c2d support page says "Boot off the PATA CDROM and copy a KNOPPIX installation to USB stick. KNOPPIX will utilise kernel etc from the CDROM and then resume booting from USB stick. "
[07:26] <LjL> cherva: without our help, thanks. so if you have ubuntu support questions, please ask
[07:26] <Freezeil> what is "Knoppix"?
[07:26] <Amon-san> xfce compared to windowmaker - which one would faster?
[07:26] <AlexC_> cherva: not everything in life will be free. Did you pay for your toaster? So why not Doom3?
[07:26] <atomiku> !knoppix

[07:26] <kjl> cherva: but i will not google for it myself
[07:26] <xtknight> tld: manpages-dev     i've got man mmap and man fprintf now
[07:26] <slippyr4> http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=knoppix
[07:26] <hoagie> em I delted /etc/fstab by an accident, is there a way to retrieve it?
[07:27] <phixnay> Icehawk78: ln <original_file> <alias> I think. Better check
[07:27] <elias1> hello guys
[07:27] <kjl> hoagie: do you backup? if so, yes. if not, no.
[07:27] <torbit> solution: go outside, get a job at mcdonalds, work for 4 hours, quit, buy doom3
[07:27] <Icehawk78> So, ln is the command I'm looking for, most likely?
[07:27] <soundray> hoagie: not really, but you can probably reconstruct it.
[07:27] <StoneNote> cherva investigate iptables and squid re: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/block-outgoing-network-access-for-a-single-user-from-my-server-using-iptables.html & http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch32_:_Controlling_Web_Access_with_Squid
[07:27] <AlexC_> Icehawk78: sorry, I missread you're question.
[07:27] <LjL> hoagie: no. it's not very hard to reconstruct if you know what your HD is like, though
[07:27] <Freezeil> mindstate: so i need a USB stick?
[07:27] <torbit> or get a better job
[07:27] <soundray> hoagie: is the system still running?
[07:27] <mindstate> Freezeil: or a cd burner
[07:27] <xtknight> Freezeil: personally i used a usb cdrom and dapper
[07:27] <phixnay> I'm having trouble modprobing ndiswrapper. "depmod -a" gives a permission denied error, and if I go ahead and modprobe ndiswrapper, or even sudo modprobe ndiswrapper, it "doesn't fit" or something like that
[07:27] <hoagie> nope
[07:28] <Crescendo> I'm trying to connect to my SSH servers, and I'm getting "Nautilus cannot display "ssh://martindale@gwing.net".  Please select a different viewer and try again."
[07:28] <torbit> anyways
[07:28] <elias1> I want to play an .mpg file with mplayer and  I get "Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device Mplayer"
[07:28] <hoagie> is there a way to boot from recovery mode and reconstruct it?
[07:28] <xtknight> hoagie: `sudo fdisk -l` will show a HD layout
[07:28] <elias1> any ideas?
[07:28] <kjl> hoagie: do you know what your HD is like?
[07:28] <Freezeil> i am using a cd burner... that is an IDE
[07:28] <AlexC_> Icehawk78: yes, ls are system links in Linux, far more powerful than windows 'shortcuts' In terminal do "ln ~/folder ~/.my_hidden_holder" and then the folder will be linked to .my_hidden_holder
[07:28] <LjL> hoagie: yeah, it's called "booting into recovery mode and opening a text editor".
[07:28] <LjL> some hints:
[07:28] <LjL> !fstab > hoagie    (hoagie, see the private message from Ubotu)
[07:28] <LjL> !uuid > hoagie    (hoagie, see the private message from Ubotu)
[07:28] <AlexC_> Icehawk78: or the other way around ... I forget which way it goes
[07:28] <soundray> hoagie: boot a live CD, do as xtknight suggests, then mount each partition and look what's on them.

[07:29] <hoagie> yes please

[07:29] <Icehawk78> Hmm... I tried doing that (I checked the man page for the correct method) and got this: ln: `/var/www/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/manual': hard link not allowed for directory
[07:29] <agliv5> xtknight, but on the recieving end when I try to open my network connections I get a crash...
[07:29] <kjl> but, what  LjL showed is not ok to scold him for  entering
[07:29] <mindstate> elias1: right click mplayer goto preferences --> video and set it to "xv"
[07:30] <atomiku> I know :P
[07:30] <kjl> ljl: i wasnt laughing.
[07:30] <AlexC_> Icehawk78: use "sudo" infront of the command
[07:30] <mindstate> elias1: i had the same problem and that worked for me
[07:30] <elias1> let me try
[07:30] <LjL> kjl: well, i could have kept the "some hints" on the same lines probably. anyway, it's hardly a big deal
[07:30] <kjl> ljl: k

[07:41] <soundray> Icehawk78: it might be your ftp server preventing that
[07:41] <movi_> i installed libvisial-plugins, but still only goom is listed in totem
[07:41] <aZu> wait before the eof?
[07:41] <Icehawk78> Um... the FTP server is my Linux box.
[07:42] <aZu> not including?
[07:42] <xtknight> aZu: the file should look like tihs: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6256/
[07:42] <soundray> Icehawk78: well, it has to run ftp server software for it to act as an ftp server

[07:50] <chable> how to install speedtouch adsl modem on ubuntu ?
[07:50] <Victor_> http://www.fourmigration.com/link.php?pid=15&cont=5
[07:50] <unop> royel,  well -x tests execute permissions .. and you are testing -x on something like "/home/bf2server/bf2/mono bf2ccd.exe" which is errm, not going to succeed .. anyway, you need to quote  it this way -- test -x "$daemon"

[07:54] <chable> anyone can help me to sort this speedtouch adsl modem issue ?
[07:55] <m1> maybe
[07:55] <xtknight> Seracht: xgl is an x server designed with a gl backend
[07:55] <unop> royel,  well, pass along the whole script , i'll see what i can suggest -- it's hard to put it all into perspective without the whole script
[07:55] <Seracht> xtknight,  what does that mean hahah

[07:55] <xtknight> Seracht: compiz is a compositing window manager from suse/novell.  aiglx is another server, beryl is a newer, more community-driven compositing window manager with more features than cmopiz
[07:55] <soundray> Thanatos_: you won't get any takers that way. Free support can only go so far. Please read pms from ubotu
[07:55] <Seracht> ok
[07:55] <soundray> !wireless > Thanatos_

[07:57] <Enquest> Hardware question: I'm about to by a new computer with a new screen. However I also want to use my old screen so that I have two screens. Would you go for to graph cards(nvidia) or would you go for one card that can handel two displays?

[07:57] <aZu> xtknight: how do i do that?
[07:57] <aZu> o.O
[07:57] <sethk> chable, does the o/s discover and identify it?
[07:58] <chable> no

[07:58] <chable> from*
[07:58] <Mattias> is there any 3d worms like game for linux yet? ^_^
[07:58] <sethk> chable, you should connect it, turn it on, do  lsusb,   then also do dmesg    and capture the lsusb output, and the last couple of screenfuls of dmesg output, and put them on the postbot and come back
[07:58] <livingdaylight> Quintin: ping
[07:59] <Mattias> or maybe plain old worms 2d like game?
[07:59] <chable> ok
[07:59] <Mattias> multi player ofcourse
[07:59] <sethk> chable, then we'll have some data to work with
[07:59] <chable> i see ..
[07:59] <xtknight> how do you get a list of files contained in an installed package, using the terminal?
[07:59] <soundray> !games | Mattias
[07:59] <ubotu> Mattias: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php and ubuntugames.org
[07:59] <royel> unop: sorry for delay, pastebin said I was a spammer.. here is link: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6261/
[07:59] <sethk> chable, do dmesg, then turn the thing on, do dmesg again.  The lines that appear after turning the thing on are what we need to look at.
[07:59] <xtknight> aZu: um pastebin the ./configure --help  command for xournal
[07:59] <chable> ok sethk
[07:59] <chable> i have to go home for that
[07:59] <aZu> alright
[08:00] <phixnay> how can I fix this problem with modules
[08:00] <chable> i might quit on it :(
[08:00] <sethk> chable, you can paste the entire dmesg output, but if you have a slow connection that will cost you a few minutes of uploading.
[08:00] <chable> im living 45 kins from here
[08:00] <phixnay> depmod -a gives errror
[08:00] <chable> kms
[08:00] <xtknight> aZu: also try "PKG_CONFIG=/usr/lib/pkgconfig/ ./configure" for xournal, but i'd like to see configure --help if that doesn't work
[08:00] <aZu> xtknight:no go
[08:00] <sethk> chable, be nice if you can borrow a working modem from someone, it's tough to troubleshoot witnout being able to say "try this, try that ..."
[08:01] <chable> i dont know anyone having a modem
[08:01] <aZu> xtknight: ./configure --help doens't work
[08:01] <chable> this guy im at , has cable-tv
[08:01] <chable> cablemodem
[08:01] <sethk> chable, bring your machine to wherever you are right now?
[08:01] <chable> this will take 2 hrs
[08:01] <sethk> chable, it will be much less frustruating for you that way.
[08:01] <Mattias> soundray: so no worms port?
[08:01] <sethk> chable, whatever, just commenting that it might take several iterations, if you do something, tell us what it said, then do the next thing, etc.
[08:01] <chable> but if i get my machine here , i dont have the phone broadband
[08:02] <xtknight> aZu: alrighty then let me try xournal
[08:02] <chable> ok
[08:02] <soundray> Mattias: I don't know, I don't do games
[08:02] <chable> thanks for help
[08:02] <sethk> chable, true, but we can still do a lot with it
[08:02] <esaym>  to compress a folder do I have to make a tar first and then use gzip?
[08:02] <aZu> xtknight: wait
[08:02] <sethk> chable, we can get it to the point where the o/s finds it and configures it. before that, the phone line isn't helping you anyway
[08:02] <esaym> soundray: yes you do ;)
[08:02] <Mattias> soundray: still same old games on those list ^_^ been playing games on linux for many years :D
[08:02] <chable> ok
[08:02] <aZu> xtknight: i got ./configure --help to work

[08:02] <xtknight> aZu: ok pastebin it
[08:02] <chable> im gone
[08:03] <Mattias> ah just remembered, anyone playing shadowbane on linux or know if it works?
[08:03] <Seracht> um ok
[08:03] <Seracht> this is hard (to install BERYL)
[08:03] <m1> Is possible to install opera for xubuntu?
[08:03] <CheshireViking> is there an application for gnome that will cycle through a series of photo's as a desktop background, I had KDE installed a while ago & that did that automatically
[08:04] <mborg> i've tried serpentine, and k3b and neither program supports "mp3" when i try to burn an audio cd. why is this? i can listen to mp3's fine.
[08:04] <whonicca> ubuntu doesnt have nftp?
[08:04] <aZu> xtknight: http://pastebin.ca/360756
[08:04] <MidNightSunRay> mborg, you have to install k3b mp3 plugin
[08:04] <soundray> CheshireViking: check out wallp and wallpaper-tray. KDE is ahead of Gnome in this particular respect
[08:05] <Mattias> whonicca: it has tnftp :P
[08:05] <Mattias> whonicca: i use gFtp myself
[08:05] <emet> ok
[08:05] <lotusleaf> FileZilla is in universe in Edgy/Feisty
[08:05] <sethk> whonicca, you could install nftp, but why bother, the others are just as good
[08:06] <xtknight> aZu: so you mean ./autogen.sh  does not complete properly?
[08:06] <whonicca> i see, can u use pret on tnftp?
[08:06] <hoagie> soundray: ext2fssays it's only for windows nt
[08:06] <whonicca> and i cant find firewall settings in gftp
[08:06] <aZu> xtknight: yes
[08:06] <akamarshall> irc.dslextreme.com
[08:06] <CheshireViking> soundray, thanks for that, i'll have a look
[08:06] <Mattias> mborg: you need to burn mp3 files like a data cd, audio cd's are always in wave, but then again it should convert mp3 to wave before it burns in that case
[08:06] <xtknight> aZu: odd because it worked here
[08:06] <soundray> hoagie: what version of windows do you have?
[08:06] <aZu> xtknight: won't work...says there are dependancy issues
[08:06] <xtknight> aZu: do you have the dev packages they say in the INSTALL file?

[08:09] <xtknight> emet: uname -a
[08:10] <gaspipe1> xtknight: thanks!!
[08:10] <empiric> its all done
[08:10] <moggio> using edgy, installed nvidia-glx from repos for Geforce6200, getting : unable to load nvidia kernel driver
[08:10] <empiric> an using my application
[08:10] <soundray> gaspipe1: try uname -r in terminal
[08:10] <empiric> n i think ist all good
[08:10] <aZu> xtknight: i thought they were included with ubuntu edgy eft
[08:10] <empiric> but some time my konqeror crashes
[08:10] <empiric> why
[08:10] <quaal> any of you ever linked a ti calculator to ubuntu ?
[08:10] <xtknight> aZu: umm..not the devel pkgs
[08:10] <lotusleaf> empiric: #kubuntu
[08:10] <sanyi> hi
[08:10] <dimeotane> I just plugged in an external USB fat32 hard drive but the icon doesn't show up on the desktop.. what should I do next to access my files?
[08:10] <xtknight> aZu: i mean they're not automatically installed
[08:10] <aZu> o.o
[08:11] <xtknight> aZu: xournal runs fine on my Edgy now so it's possible
[08:11] <empiric> am using ubuntu + konqueror
[08:11] <hoagie> soundray: windows don't reckognise ext3 how can I select the drive form ex2fs then?
[08:11] <kexman> hahah ! im root !
[08:11] <andreas__> Hi. Can someone please help me get my usb-cable and nokia N73 connect? There is absolutely no connection for the time being.
[08:11] <lotusleaf> empiric: yes but konqueror is a KDE app, so ask in there :)
[08:11] <aZu> xtknight: how do i apt-get?
[08:11] <emet> !fglrx
[08:11] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:11] <dimeotane> I would have thought that ubuntu would automatically mount it and put an icon on the desktop
[08:11] <xtknight> aZu: sudo apt-get install pkgname
[08:11] <xtknight> aZu: i can make a pkg if youre really desperate but we should be able to get this working
[08:11] <gaspipe1> soundray: that worked.... thanks
[08:11] <soundray> dimeotane: pull it out again, run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' and look for error messages as you plug the drive
[08:11] <max3887> drivers Intel Graphics of mainboard d946gzis Intel?
[08:11] <gaspipe1> anyone know the CUPS version?
[08:12] <aZu> xtknight: it can't find it the packages
[08:12] <xtknight> aZu: xournal is not a pkg no,  apt-get its dependencies
[08:12] <soundray> hoagie: once you've installed ext2fsd, you can run the helper application, familiarize yourself with the interface and mount your ubuntu root partition (give it a drive letter).
[08:12] <aZu> xtknight: i know, that's what i'm doing
[08:12] <xtknight> gaspipe1: 1.2.4-2ubuntu3
[08:13] <gaspipe1> xtknight: thanks again
[08:13] <aZu> xtknight: sudo apt-get install libgnomecanvas-2.0
[08:13] <xtknight> aZu: right
[08:13] <Bryon> Hey guys:  I'm trying to install Ubuntu 6.1 Server.  The installer detected my wireless card fine -- but in the distro, it will not dectect.:  Ath0: ERROR....No such device
[08:13] <kexman> where does su - get me ? :)
[08:13] <aZu> xtknight: but that's not working
[08:13] <phixnay> what does modprobe do?
[08:13] <gaspipe1> xtknight: i have had Zero luck installing my printer (MFC-5100C Brother) and am now sending them an email
[08:13] <xtknight> aZu: sorry it's actually this: sudo apt-get install libgnomecanvas2-0 libgnomecanvas2-dev
[08:13] <MidNightSunRay> phixnay, it loads a module
[08:13] <soundray> kexman: nowhere
[08:13] <kexman> never used su - but now i saw that using "konsole" you can get to a root shell and that is via su -
[08:13] <phixnay> MidNightSunRay: what do I do if it doesn't work
[08:14] <max3887> Ubuntu 6.10  drivers the Intel Graphics of mainboard d946gzis Intel?
[08:14] <soundray> kexman: not in ubuntu. Use 'sudo -i' instead
[08:14] <MidNightSunRay> phixnay, it depends on what's the problem you have... :)
[08:14] <sc0tch> I created a couple partitions, one being of type linux swap, do I need to format that partition before it will be recognized and used as swap on boot?
[08:14] <unop> royel,  ok, can you tell me where bf2ccd.exe actually resides? in /home/bf2server/bf2/?
[08:14] <Bryon> Hey guys:  I'm trying to install Ubuntu 6.1 Server.  The installer detected my wireless card fine -- but in the distro, it will not dectect.:  Ath0: ERROR....No such device. I have a Airlink card
[08:14] <dimeotane> soundray:  no errors but the kernel recognized "Attached scsi disk sdc"
[08:14] <royel> unop: yes
[08:14] <kexman> soundray i got a root shell !
[08:14] <kexman> dont need to sudo nomore
[08:14] <soundray> kexman: sudo is so cool
[08:14] <phixnay> MidNightSunRay: depmod -a gives a permission denied error
[08:15] <royel> unop: an mono is in /home/bf2server/mono-1.1.12.1/
[08:15] <soundray> dimeotane: nothing else?
[08:15] <unop> royel,  ok, 2 secs
[08:15] <xtknight> aZu: just type this: sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf autogen automake libgtk-dev libgnomecanvas2-0 libgnomecanvas2-dev libgnomeprint2.2-0 libgnomeprint2.2-dev
[08:15] <kexman> yes sudo is fine for me to
[08:15] <MidNightSunRay> did you run it using sudo phixnay  ?
[08:15] <phixnay> no, I thoguht you weren't supposed to
[08:15] <MidNightSunRay> you thought wrong phixnay
[08:15] <MidNightSunRay> :)
[08:15] <dimeotane> a few entries for " New device added"
[08:15] <phixnay> because running it in sudo doesn't give any errors
[08:15] <soundray> dimeotane: try 'sudo fdisk -l' and see if it sees the partition on sdc
[08:15] <aZu> xtknight: thank you very much!
[08:15] <vox754> MidNightSunRay, why did you join #Thanatos_ Do you know him?
[08:16] <phixnay> MidNightSunRay: and when I did (sudo) modprobe ndiswrapper it wouldn't work
[08:16] <kexman> why cant i change my resolution to bigger then 1024 x 768 ?
[08:16] <MidNightSunRay> nope, i was hoping to help him though vox754
[08:16] <aZu> xtknight: btw, how come ctrl+v doesn't work in terminal
[08:16] <Bryon> Can anyone handle helping me with my wirless problem? :-P
[08:16] <livingdaylight_> am i registered?
[08:16] <xtknight> aZu: not sure, it's silly but just use right click paste
[08:16] <kexman> i need 1280x1024 on a tft
[08:16] <soundray> kexman: you can (if your hardware is up to it)
[08:16] <aZu> ok
[08:16] <kexman> how would i do that ? edit xorg.conf ?
[08:16] <MidNightSunRay> phixnay, in which sense it didn't work ?
[08:16] <soundray> !fixres | kexman
[08:16] <ubotu> kexman: 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
[08:16] <dimeotane> Disk /dev/sdc: 20.4 GB
[08:16] <xtknight> aZu: i think because CTRL+__ generally sends a signal to the program like SIGUSR1 or SIGTERM, and paste is not a signal
[08:16] <Bryon> aZu: or use your middle mouse button.  it moves the selected text
[08:16] <royel> aZu: try clicking your middle mouse button
[08:16] <phixnay> let me do it again, and copy down the exact error
[08:16] <kexman> soundray welllll i am using a vmware machine :)
[08:16] <vox754> MidNightSunRay, ok. He still needs help trying to connect his WinXP machines with Ubuntu.
[08:16] <kexman> not sure what it can/cant
[08:17] <dimeotane> I am correct then, that ubuntu should have automatically mounted the fat32 usb drive?
[08:17] <kexman> but i think it could do me 1280x1024
[08:17] <aZu> thanks guys!
[08:17] <Bryon> Can anyone handle helping me with my wirless problem? :-P
[08:17] <MidNightSunRay> vox754, ubuntu does all the dirty job for you... :)
[08:17] <Bhaal> Hey guys, how do I set the max number of files allowed open by any user?
[08:17] <xtknight> Bhaal: that's complicated.  why?
[08:17] <livingdaylight_> how do i register?
[08:17] <enoxs> Hey, i'm trying to change the mac address of one of my network interfaces, ifconfig <dev> hw ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx , i've got the message SIOCSIFHWADDR invalid argument. How can i fix this?
[08:17] <soundray> kexman: configure vmware accordingly, and follow the last link that ubotu gave
[08:17] <livingdaylight_> am i registered?
[08:17] <kexman> what do you mean accordingly ?
[08:18] <livingdaylight_> is it /msg nickserv identify <password>
[08:18] <kexman> ooo and i couldnt install vmware tools 1
[08:18] <xtknight> Bhaal: youll have to define a file (file handle of which there are usually 200 or so open at any one time like config files )..or everything like shared memory , handles to video deviecs, etc?
[08:18] <kexman> maybe that is my prob
[08:18] <phixnay> MidNightSunRay, vox754, what do you know, modprobe worked this time!
[08:18] <aZu> xtknight: do you know the pkg for libgnomeprintui
[08:18] <soundray> enoxs: it has to have six bytes
[08:18] <kexman> it gave me an error i need gcc binutils make and kernel sources so it can compile itself right
[08:18] <Bhaal> xtknight: because I am having trouble with too many open files
[08:18] <dimeotane> k it also shows it as " OnTrackDM6"
[08:18] <livingdaylight_> hello?
[08:18] <xtknight> aZu: libgnomeprintui2.2-0  and libgnomeprintui2.2-dev
[08:19] <dimeotane> windows formatted it at fat32.. so why does linux see it as a "OnTrackDM6" system
[08:19] <livingdaylight_> can anyone read me?
[08:19] <soundray> dimeotane: have you set drives to automount via 'Sys-Prefs-Removable Drives'?
[08:19] <royel> livingdaylight_: /msg nickserv register <pw>
[08:19] <vox754> phixnay, there you go!
[08:19] <phixnay> MidNightSunRay, vox754, so now all I have to do is "ndiswrapper -m" and add the line "ndiswrapper" to /etc/modules?
[08:19] <xtknight> aZu: use "apt-cache search" for future reference
[08:19] <hoagie> soundray : for some reason I'm able to boot into recovery mode, so can you please tell me the command to create /etc/fstab and edit it?
[08:19] <aZu> ah
[08:19] <xtknight> aZu: or sudo apt-get install libgnomeprin<then press tab>
[08:19] <distro-tester> hi all
[08:19] <MidNightSunRay> phixnay, i suppose so
[08:19] <aZu> xtknight: thank you again!
[08:19] <xtknight> Bhaal: odd.  where is that error coming from?
[08:19] <soundray> dimeotane: the OnTrackDM6 partition is not the FAT32 partition. It is invisible to Windows
[08:19] <dimeotane> yup.. but the reason its not automounting may be due to that " OnTrackDM6"
[08:19] <enoxs> soundray : Sorry, i forgot to type a byte. I've tried something like 11:22:33:44:55:66 to test this
[08:19] <Bhaal> xtknight: downloads
[08:19] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, ping
[08:19] <vox754> phixnay, if you have a working wireless, then yes. But you may need to setup also "/etc/network/interfaces"
[08:19] <xtknight> Bhaal: sorry youll have to be more specific..what app and when?
[08:20] <dimeotane> k
[08:20] <soundray> enoxs: then I don't know, sorry
[08:20] <Bryon> Can anyone handle helping me with my wirless problem? :-P
[08:20] <dimeotane> once I get my files off i need to reformat this sucker
[08:20] <enoxs> soundray : Ok, thx anyway
[08:20] <aZu> xtknight: i got xournal working!
[08:20] <dimeotane> That ontrack goes waaay back to when I was using this drive internal on a p133 !  bios needed ontrack to use the whole drive
[08:20] <xtknight> aZu: so it wasn't even libatk was it?  or maybe you needed libgtk that' why.  atk is part of gtk and libgtk-dev contains a GTK pkg config
[08:20] <hoagie> soundray: how can i edit /etc/fstab in recovery mode?
[08:20] <Seracht> er
[08:21] <xtknight> hoagie: nano /etc/fstab
[08:21] <Seracht> I installed KDE, can I uninstall it now
[08:21] <soundray> hoagie: find a way to download http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6260/ with wget perhaps
[08:21] <aZu> xtknight: i guess not!
[08:21] <aZu> :/
[08:21] <hoagie> ok ty
[08:21] <skeel> hey, does anyone know of an FTP-client for gnome that does SSL/TLS? gFTP doesn't seem to do it... if it can, please point me towards a howto or guide about how to enable it.
[08:21] <aZu> how do you make a shortcut for a program you compiled in the menu bar?
[08:21] <royel> skeel: try proftpd
[08:21] <aZu> (that's my last question
[08:21] <soundray> dimeotane: which line corresponds to your fat32 filesystem?
[08:21] <aZu> really
[08:21] <xtknight> aZu: it may appear upon a logout but you can use alacarte menu editor
[08:22] <skeel> royel: a CLIENT, proftpd is a server daemon
[08:22] <unop> royel,  you there?
[08:22] <royel> skeel: sorry..
[08:22] <royel> unop: yes
[08:22] <unop> royel,  http://pastebin.ca/360778
[08:22] <soundray> aZu: add a launcher and edit its properties
[08:22] <skeel> royel: arrgh!! :)
[08:22] <aZu> o.O
[08:22] <phixnay> vox754: I use a custom script that runs WPA_Supplicant and dhcp that gets me onto the internet.
[08:22] <royel> unop: ah! arguments!!!
[08:22] <xtknight> aZu: type alacarte in the terminal
[08:23] <xtknight> aZu: then make a new item (shortcut) for xournal, it's /usr/local/bin/xournal
[08:23] <aZu> ohh!!
[08:23] <vox754> xtknight, you seem to prefer "nano" instead of "gedit" right? I think both should be taught so people are able to edit their files with and without X server.
[08:23] <phixnay> vox754: but now that I did ndiswrapper -m and added ndiswrapper to /etc/modules, everything is cool right?
[08:23] <aZu> :D
[08:23] <unop> royel,  ahh no, but thats what I've defined for this script
[08:23] <xtknight> vox754: no i prefer gedit when at a GUI and nano at a terminal
[08:23] <livingdaylight_> anyone have experience downloading torrents from btjunkie?
[08:23] <dimeotane> the external usb drive is seen as:   /dev/sdc1   *           1        1023     8217243   54  OnTrackDM6
[08:23] <livingdaylight_> unop, hi buddy
[08:24] <dimeotane> Because of the ontrackDM6 .. I need to specify a mount command I guess
[08:24] <soundray> dimeotane: ok
[08:24] <aZu> xtknight: thank you!!!!! :D
[08:24] <MidNightSunRay> xtknight, why not vim ?
[08:24] <vox754> phixnay, ah, ok. I don't use WPA so I'm not sure about that. I never wrote anything to /etc/modules that I recall.
[08:24] <soundray> dimeotane: 'mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /mnt'
[08:24] <soundray> dimeotane: sudo of course
[08:24] <unop> livingdaylight_,  hi :) what's up?
[08:24] <soundray> dimeotane: or open gparted and change the filesystem type
[08:24] <xtknight> MidNightSunRay: cause it's needlessly complicated i guess.  i dont like the escape colon stuff
[08:24] <KanRiNiN> If I do sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop && autoremove && install kubuntu-desktop will that switch my environments?
[08:25] <soundray> KanRiNiN: no
[08:25] <livingdaylight_> unop, oh, the usual... ^^
[08:25] <livingdaylight_> unop, you back in sheffield?
[08:25] <unop> royel,  let me know how it fares
[08:25] <emet> hey
[08:25] <soundray> KanRiNiN: just do 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop' and select a KDE session at the login screen
[08:25] <unop> livingdaylight_,  aye indeed :)
[08:25] <emet> how do I make ubuntu not ask for password on boot
[08:25] <e> okokokok
[08:26] <soundray> emet: System-Administration-Login Window-Security- Autologin
[08:26] <unop> emet,  run the gdmsetup tool .. you've got options there
[08:26] <livingdaylight_> unop, the town where steel comes from
[08:26] <vox754> MidNightSunRay, yeah, vim seems good for the very hardcore/old guys. I think for editing purposes, nano is fine. First time I tried vim I was shocked, I couldn't do a thing.
[08:26] <e> hey where do i see the system up-time?
[08:26] <dimeotane> soundray: don't i need to give a mountpoint folder? /mnt/usb  or just /mnt
[08:26] <e> i saw it somewhere...
[08:26] <MidNightSunRay> vox754, i agree about this point, but how 'bout flexibility ? :)
[08:26] <andrewaclt> Hi, it seems ubuntu server uses lvm by default and I'm trying to use debugfs on my / parition but it won't let me, is there a similar lvm tool available?
[08:27] <unop> livingdaylight_,  _came_ from .. the steel industry here is now almost zilch .. it's more of a university town and we also have the infamous meadow-hell :)
[08:27] <sstchur> Hi all.  I'm running beryl under KDE and I've noticed that whenever I drag a window around, my CPU spiked to nearly 100% and I can hear this annoying high-pitced sound coming from somwhere in my machine.  Any idea what would cause that?

[08:37] <Asc__> meisam_*: Apache doesn't start for me if the apache log folder is missing.  But that gives me a different error.
[08:37] <Seracht> poningru,  I did, its working fine :)
[08:37] <royel> unop: looking now
[08:37] <poningru> Seracht: there you go... its fine
[08:37] <poningru> why wouldnt it be working fine?
[08:37] <Seracht> But I dunno, when I was installing KDE I got a bunch of options...and I think I might have screwed it up bad lol
[08:37] <Seracht> thats why poningru
[08:37] <Chadarius> lonran: for multitrack editing and some effects it works fine
[08:37] <Seracht> I am just really nervous lol...first time installing Ubuntu :)
[08:37] <lonran> ok, thanks a lot
[08:37] <ameinke> Gabby_Hayes: to use java in your mozilla/firefox browser install "sun-java-plugin"
[08:37] <Asc__> meisam_*: On the other hand, I'm also using version 1.3
[08:37] <meisam_> Asc__ so what to do?
[08:37] <poningru> Seracht: naah its cool
[08:38] <Seracht> Alright bud :) Thank you
[08:38] <Gabby_Hayes> ameinke:  was using the "java-package" line, will try the  "sun-java*" line .. thxs
[08:38] <Seracht> oh one thing is wrong
[08:38] <Seracht> when I try to change my resolution, it doesn;t change it
[08:38] <amnesia> hi

[08:39] <amnesia> edgy and feisty won't boot on my new scaleo P fujitsu-siemens desktop
[08:39] <meisam_> Asc__ yes
[08:39] <amnesia> not sure but it might be the SATA drive
[08:39] <ameinke> Gabby_Hayes: there were two different java packages, because sun's java wasnt opensource

[08:39] <meisam_> Asc__ there ar e 2 logs error and acccesses
[08:39] <amnesia> any idea how to test a little more?
[08:39] <psynaps3> Hi, I need to backup my home partition to a directory in root. Now, if I use rsync for doing this, will I loose all the file permissions?
[08:39] <Gabby_Hayes> ..  "cannot find any package .. named "sun-java*"   :-(
[08:39] <Asc__> meisam_: Okay.  Well, then that's not the problem.
[08:40] <romulo> how can i edit bootable images?
[08:40] <royel> unop: think were getting closer though, mono is in /home/bf2server/mono-1.1.12.1/
[08:40] <royel> unop: I could try moving bf2ccd.exe in the same directory as mono
[08:40] <unop> royel,  are you sure, that location seems to be in $PATH here -- what does this command return - which mono
[08:40] <Gabby_Hayes> see that in the FAQ .. but still isn't finding anything  (the "multiuniverse"  line is in the sources list
[08:41] <romulo> iso ones
[08:41] <unop> royel,  ahh no, let's leave it be because it might depend on things relative to its location
[08:41] <kinection> i'm having trouble with edgy, i installed it on my parents computer and it was working for awhile. However, I have recently come back to check on it and it has stopped working... The X server is not starting up. I am getting "Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglx.so" and failing to load nvidia.ko, no such file or directory problems. I've checked, and it's not a permissions issue
[08:41] <royel> unop: /home/bf2server/mono-1.1.12.1/bin/mono
[08:41] <kinection> I'm not sure which package to install or reinstall, I have tried reinstalling nvidia-glx but it does not solve the problem
[08:41] <jdrake> Have you guys heard of an /sbin/lrm-video before? I am trying to setup fglrx, but having issues.
[08:41] <Seracht> um
[08:41] <ameinke> Gabby_Hayes: oh, suprising
[08:41] <unop> royel,  right, so, we forgot the /bin at the end there :)
[08:41] <royel> unop: an I was wrong as well
[08:41] <Seracht> I'm lost man
[08:42] <linuxrockz> any help to play the game i install on 6.06 with debpackack
[08:42] <Asc__> meisam_: Um, try going to localhost:80 in a web browser.  See if there's anything there.
[08:42] <Seracht> poningru, I dunno. I go to system settings, try to change it to 1024, but it is not changing from 1280 lol
[08:42] <unop> royel,  i think if you edit PATH now .. add /bin to the end so it looks like this - PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/home/bf2server/mono-1.1.12.1/bin
[08:42] <ameinke> Gabby_Hayes: hm, not suprising, ive found sun-java packages....
[08:42] <royel> unop: haha, got it!
[08:43] <royel> unop: Thanks so much man.. you did a great job :)
[08:43] <unop> royel,  yw :) so it works now?
[08:43] <royel> unop: yes :)
[08:43] <unop> royel,  how about stop and restart?

[08:45] <ameinke> Gabby_Hayes: you have to turn on the multiverse repository
[08:45] <linuxrockz> any guru here?
[08:45] <mborg> ok this is becoming confusing...i have lame, madlib, gstreamer and so forth ALL installed, however mp3's are still not being recognized in serpentine or k3b. how can i resolve this?

[08:49] <royel> unop: well, it keeps focus after I start it that way, I need it to run in the background, just tried adding "bf2ccd.exe &" and "bf2ccd.exe >/dev/null 2>&1 &" but neither of those arguements work.. any ideas

[08:52] <FuzzMasteur> Hi, I have a USB/Serial Actiontec modem, and am trying to get it to work.  I followed the instructions at http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2170720, and all goes well, same device, same place, but for whatever reason Ubuntu just won't let me connect.  I don't even see a connect button, nor will the modem monitor let me activate it.  Any ideas?
[08:53] <Seracht> hi, quick question. I have windows on my primary harddrive and ubuntu on my secondary harddrive. However, I want to reinstall ubuntu (kbunutu actually). So anyways, if I delete my 3 partitions in my secondary harddrive, will that screw up GRUB?
[08:53] <Seracht> or will grub automatically update itself
[08:53] <Gabby_Hayes> ameinke: .. get a window saying that the package cannot be installed on my hardware  (dual P3 cpu @450MHz)  :-(
[08:54] <ameinke> Gabby_Hayes: ui
[08:54] <unop> royel,  yea, this should do http://pastebin.ca/360846
[08:55] <ameinke> Gabby_Hayes: then try to download the archive from sun and follow the instructions

[08:56] <FantasticFoo> it seems there are a lot of gtk2 themes on gnome-look.org that require the "pixmap" engine. i looked under /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/ and there is no "pixmap" lib
[08:56] <FantasticFoo> where can i get this "pixmap" engine?
[08:56] <bard> hey
[08:56] <royel> unop: that works, restart stop don't appear to work though

[08:58] <novice> can anyone help me to upgrade firefox to 2.0 in ubuntu breezy
[08:59] <dyrne> problems with libgtk2-ruby package was wondering if anyone else is experiencing.
[09:00] <FuzzMasteur> Hi, I have a USB/Serial Actiontec modem, and am trying to get it to work.  I followed the instructions at http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2170720, and all goes well, same device, same place, but for whatever reason Ubuntu just won't let me connect.  I don't even see a connect button, nor will the modem monitor let me activate it.  Any ideas?
[09:00] <dyrne> novice: i just usually grabbed the current firefox package and unpackaed to my home dir then did changed the launcher link in gnome to point to it
[09:00] <aalhamad> when i use evolution where are the mails stored?
[09:00] <aalhamad> plz help
[09:00] <dyrne> novice: wow that was alot of typos but you get the idea :)
[09:00] <royel> unop: I think the name it's expecting is "bf2server" for the PIDfile, an # ps aux returns: root     17608  0.3  2.3  30132 12148 pts/1    Sl   13:55   0:01 mono /home/bf2server/bf2/bf2ccd.exe
[09:00] <unop> royel,  ok, edit the script and change that line to - kill $(cat $PIDFILE.my)
[09:00] <ameinke> dyrne: simple as simple :)
[09:01] <novice> dyrne: i have d\led .tar.gz and used the command sudo apt-get install firefox-bin
[09:01] <novice> but its not working
[09:01] <v4m21> http://digg.com/tech_news/Why_The_Digg_Mafia_Will_Cost_Kevin_Rose_Millions
[09:01] <aalhamad> where does evolution keeps it mails???
[09:01] <ameinke> aalhamad: look at your home directory, its evt a hidden dir
[09:02] <aalhamad> ok  thanks
[09:02] <unop> royel,  kill expects a PID not a name -- the signal i used to kill should be -- kill -TERM ... but -TERM is the default .. so a simple kill will do
[09:02] <unop> aalhamad,  ~/.evolution/ ..
[09:02] <aalhamad> thanks

[09:04] <Justy-> hi
[09:04] <darkmatter7> hi
[09:04] <unop> !hi
[09:04] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[09:04] <darkmatter7> anyone here familiar with rosegarden on edgy?
[09:04] <Justy-> I have got so less space left in my hdd partitation which is 1gb
[09:04] <andre> sup folks
[09:04] <royel> unop: changing that line gives, Stopping Battlefield Server: mono bf2ccd.exe/etc/init.d/bf2server: line 46: kill: (17635) - No such process
[09:05] <Justy-> now i need more space how can i get this space from my windows partitation
[09:05] <andre> how do I access the nvidia binary driver control panel?  (I forget the command)
[09:05] <darkmatter7> use gparted
[09:05] <jack_deltrino> Justy-: use something that repartitions like qtparted or gparted
[09:05] <darkmatter7> go into synaptic
[09:05] <darkmatter7> search for gparted
[09:05] <jack_deltrino> Justy-: and resizes*
[09:05] <darkmatter7> install it
[09:05] <unop> novice,  if you download a tar.gz .. you need to extract it using tar -- apt-get has installed firefox from the repositories
[09:05] <darkmatter7> and you should be able to resize the partition
[09:05] <dyrne> novice: sorry i was away.  i meant like 'tar xfvz firefox.tar.gz -C /home/username/' that would uncompress the files to a /home/user/firefox directory then you can just cd /home/user/firefox/   and ./firefox  to run  or edit your launcher icon to point to /home/user/firefox/firefox
[09:06] <andre> how do I access the nvidia binary driver control panel?  (I forget the command)
[09:06] <darkmatter7> is anyone familiar with rosegarden here?
[09:06] <Justy-> jack_deltrino: i will try now thanks
[09:06] <coNP> andre: nvidia-settings, maybe
[09:06] <unop> royel,  ok try this command,  "killall mono" and then try starting and stopping anew
[09:06] <royel> unop: well, it does actually stop it though
[09:07] <andre> conp tx
[09:07] <Crankeye> hey
[09:07] <unop> royel,  hmm, does it complain when it stops?
[09:07] <novice> dyrne: k........ thanx ...... i will try......
[09:07] <Crankeye> When i restart it ask for the root password or to type ctrl+d. Anyone know how to fix that or any logs i can view?

[09:08] <royel> unop: well, it almost appears to be a complaint, but it does in fact stop
[09:08] <xvegas44> hola
[09:08] <xvegas44> alguien spanish?
[09:09] <Crankeye> ameinke: hmm what do you mean?
[09:09] <dyrne> EdgeT: not familiar with livecd but maybe the install is using nv or ati driver instead of vesa. you have an nvidia card or ati or onboard intel?
[09:09] <EdgeT> dyrne, GeForce Go 7200
[09:10] <hartvig^> Hi, what's the 'rc-update' command in ubuntu?
[09:10] <ameinke> Crankeye: at grub type "e" to edit the line where the kernel is defined and remove the option "single"
[09:10] <royel> unop: either way, it is functional, an I learned a bit more than I knew, so I guess you did pretty darn good :)  Thanks so much for all your time.
[09:10] <dyrne> EdgeT: do this command:  grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf    one of the lines should be nv or vesa
[09:10] <Crankeye> ameinke: ok, then when i reboot it should work?
[09:10] <EdgeT> dyrne ok ty, brb
[09:10] <ameinke> Crankeye: no
[09:10] <unop> royel,  yw -- it probably just needs a bit of refining -- but i'll let you do that :d
[09:11] <Crankeye> >_>;
[09:11] <royel> unop: yeah, I might play with it till I break it :)
[09:11] <hossasaur> how do i download from a third party repository in synaptic?  i'm attempting to get everything from http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/viewvc.cgi/trunk/SDL_image/ what is the line i should put into synaptic?
[09:11] <ameinke> Crankeye: therefor you have to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove "single" in this file
[09:11] <unop>  royel well, backup first :p
[09:11] <royel> unop: oops, too late! haha
[09:11] <unop> royel,  anyway, dinner's ready... i'm out :)
[09:11] <royel> unop: enjoy your dinner
[09:11] <unop> :)
[09:12] <unop> thanks
[09:12] <whazilla> how do i install WineCVS.sh on ubuntu
[09:12] <Justy-> jack_deltrino: hey, can you help me again please ? =)
[09:12] <whazilla> i get an error
[09:12] <EdgeT> dyrne Btw, what do I do then?
[09:12] <whazilla> during make
[09:12] <hartvig^> Hi, what's the daemon or whatever that starts up services in ubuntu? :P
[09:12] <maikol> how can i encode a .wav file to have an id3 tag as an mp3 using ffmpeg. i did ffmpeg -i in.wav -ab 192 out.mp3 to the files and only one turned out to have an id3 tag
[09:12] <whazilla> portmon
[09:12] <Crankeye> ameinke: my menu.lst file only has single in the recorvery mode kernels
[09:12] <ompaul> hartvig^, mostly people depend on init
[09:12] <jammer> hi everyone
[09:12] <numa> hartvig:  init
[09:13] <Justy-> jack_deltrino: I cannot do anything because there is a "lock" icon on the partitaion i need to resize. what is the problem about it?
[09:13] <hossasaur> dyrne: you helped me the other day, thanks.  i'm having trouble adding third party repositories in synaptic.  i want to dl/build everything in http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/viewvc.cgi/trunk/SDL_image/ what line do i put into synaptic?
[09:13] <numa> hartvig^:  you can use inetd also to start things
[09:13] <Crankeye> hey jammer
[09:13] <whazilla> i need xorg-dev
[09:13] <dyrne> EdgeT: well that will tell you what driver the 'gui' is using once we know that well have a better idea howto get you up and running
[09:13] <whazilla> or x11-devel
[09:13] <assarix> hello, I'm having a hard time formatting a usb stick
[09:14] <assarix> it's /dev/sda
[09:14] <hartvig^> numa, so if i want it to start samba on startup i use a init thing?
[09:14] <EdgeT> dyrne I think it's nv, should I change it to vesa?
[09:14] <assarix> and it gets automounted
[09:14] <Mhz> hi everyone, I'm looking for a little help with the fstab
[09:14] <assarix> when I do umount
[09:14] <ameinke> Crankeye: and what value has your "default" option?
[09:14] <bruenig> !enter | assarix
[09:14] <ubotu> assarix: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[09:14] <assarix> device /dev/sda is not available for fdisk
[09:14] <jammer> I can't use the gui to copy and paste files because of permissions. any idea how to get or change privilages for files?
[09:14] <hossasaur> ompaul: thanks for helping me the other day.  i'm attempting to dl/build everything from http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/viewvc.cgi/trunk/SDL_image/ with synaptic.  what line do i put into 'third party repository' to do so?
[09:14] <bruenig> jammer, cli
[09:14] <jammer> that a program?
[09:15] <bruenig> jammer, what files are you talking about, it may be a bad idea to change permissions
[09:15] <Justy-> jack_deltrino: are you there ?
[09:15] <Mhz> I would like to automount a windows partition with read/write access to user. how do I do that?
[09:15] <bruenig> cli = command line interface
[09:15] <hossasaur> Mhz: ntfs?
[09:15] <Arafangion> When I suspend-to-ram, I can never, ever wake up! How can I troubleshoot this? (Using ATI drivers)
[09:15] <Crankeye> ameinke: default		0
[09:15] <assarix> I have this usb stick and I unmount it because I want to fdisk it, but when unmounted my device is gone. What's the trick?
[09:15] <Justy-> jack_deltrino: well no problem ...
[09:15] <kexman> can u help me install ntp ?
[09:15] <jammer> I'm trying to get the flash plugin to work for mozilla, but I have amd64 distro so requires some copy and pasting.
[09:15] <Arafangion> Previously, with Badger, it worked correctly (if I edited the script to echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep properly, as by default that would only dim the screen)
[09:15] <kexman> i am using the desktop version of the ubuntu amd64 6.06 lts
[09:16] <dyrne> EdgeT: yeah vesa almost always works.  either do: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf  to open a text editor or simply sudo sed -i 's/nv/vesa/g' /etc/X11/xorg.conf   that might make some of the comments messy but shouldnt hurt anything
[09:16] <bruenig> jammer, just use the terminal and do "sudo cp /path/to/file /new/path/to/file"
[09:16] <Justy-> I have a problem with gparted. I need to resize a partitation with ntfs on it but there is a lock icon and i can change nothing. what is the problem ?
[09:16] <bruenig> jammer, you might also consider using 32 bit, much easier
[09:16] <jakey> lello
[09:16] <dyrne> hossasaur: sorry im not too familiar with dpkg or apt-get as far as building from source
[09:16] <hossasaur> Justy-: i woudln't resize an ntfs partition
[09:16] <jammer> well I'm trying to use 32 lib to install it actually
[09:17] <kexman> i can sudo with no password ! why is that ?
[09:17] <Justy-> hossasaur: but i need space for my ubuntu partitation
[09:17] <hossasaur> dyrne: no prob, how do i build if i just dl everything into a directory?
[09:17] <Crankeye> ameinke: can you join #reboot its hard to see your messages
[09:17] <bruenig> jammer, yeah I mean to use the 32 bit OS, if copy and pasting is giving you trouble, 64 bit might be a bit out of your league, imo of course
[09:17] <royel> where is the file for sudo users at?
[09:17] <hossasaur> Justy-: if you resize the ntfs partition, you'll most likely lose whatever's on it
[09:17] <dyrne> hossasaur: what app is it again?
[09:17] <EdgeT> dyrne, oki brb
[09:17] <maikol> Justy-: you might need to install ntfsprogs
[09:17] <jammer> kexman using a live cd?
[09:17] <jakey> heya chazza

[09:20] <turbolover> has anyone here noticed their ubuntu has slowed down since getting updates?
[09:20] <jammer> I just need to copy the flash .so and. xpt files to mozilla and I should be done.
[09:20] <Arafangion> Ok, just tested with the open-source drivers, standby works.  I guess that this /particular/ revision of the ATI graphics drivers doesn't work on my machine with standby?
[09:20] <turbolover> i think it may have borked my ati drivers, or something

[09:20] <Justy-> hossasaur: do you know how to resize an ntfs partitation with gparted
[09:20] <maikol> hossasaur: never tried with vista, my bad.
[09:20] <bruenig> jammer, right just do "sudo cp /path/to/flash.so /destination/for/flash.so"
[09:20] <Peres_> hello
[09:20] <royel> Seveas: woot, ty!
[09:20] <andre> I've installed nvidia-glx, but nvidia-settings doesn't give me the same options anymore... mainly the options necessary for my setting up my dual monitor setup....  can someone help me please?
[09:20] <jammer> ok.
[09:21] <hossasaur> Justy-: i think you can only make a ntfs partition larger with gparted, not smaller
[09:21] <Peres_> i have an error when I type ls | wc -l
[09:21] <Peres_> it says /bin/ls: Argument list too long
[09:21] <hossasaur> maikol: np, i just went through 24 hours of fuxoring thanks to resizing an ntfs partition with gparted
[09:21] <unop> Peres_,  ls -1 | xargs wc -l
[09:21] <maikol> hossasaur: gotta love it
[09:21] <aburrent> is there a way to 'restart' the sound subsystem in ubuntu?
[09:22] <hossasaur> Justy-: nevermind, you can resize using sudo gparted
[09:22] <Peres_> unop: is it a limitation of bash? why is that error?
[09:22] <unop> Peres_,  you've got too many files in that directory apparently
[09:22] <bruenig> aburrent, I always used to do "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart" but I never read that anywhere just sort of thought that looked right and so haven't had any confirmation as to whether that really does anything or not
[09:22] <Peres_> unop:ehm...what's to many?
[09:23] <unop> Peres_,  too many "files"
[09:23] <hossasaur> maikol: i set up all partitions, installed vista, installed ubuntu, grub even recognized vista partition.  when i booted to vista, it would hang at the loading screen.  i guess between overwriting the mbr and resizing it corrups the partition, though you can still read/copy from it from linux.  odd.
[09:23] <Justy-> hossasaur: but i have a problem
[09:23] <aburrent> bruenig: thanks
[09:24] <andre> I've installed nvidia-glx, but nvidia-settings doesn't give me the same options anymore... mainly the options necessary for my setting up my dual monitor setup....  can someone help me please?
[09:24] <hossasaur> maikol: it made it so i couldn't boot to dos or from the vista boot disc (also hang on loading screen)
[09:24] <Peres_> unop: i understand, but i want to know the exact limitation, so how many files is too many?
[09:24] <Justy-> hossasaur: can you please hang on a little so that i upload a ss ?
[09:24] <hossasaur> Justy-: go to the terminal, type "sudo gparted", you should be able to resize it
[09:24] <hossasaur> Justy-: sure
[09:24] <bruenig> gksudo gparted
[09:24] <maikol> hossasaur: very. my friend installed vista alongside his xp and linux partitions and all went well for him.
[09:24] <dyrne> hossasaur: well if you have a repo in sources.list you can sudo apt-get update; and apt-get -b source packagename     appearantly. otherwise maybe mkdir temp;cd temp;wget http://url/dir/*;./configure;make or something
[09:24] <hotsoda> anyone know how i can hide the icon for the beryl manager?
[09:24] <willskills> any alsa/teamspeak experts in the house? :)
[09:25] <Peres_> unop: and when i start a korn-shell, when i do " ls -l | wc -l" it says 4367
[09:25] <bruenig> !ask
[09:25] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:25] <unop> Peres_,  it's a limitation of /bin/ls -- i think it can only handle 1024 or 2048 files (arguments actually) depending
[09:25] <joevandyk> Greetings, fellow nerds.  My PC keeps losing the wireless signal.  When I do a iwconfig, it shows the signal strength as being '0/94'.  Sometimes it works to do a 'iwconfig ath0 essid <MYSSID>', but sometimes it doesn't and rebooting fixes the problem.  Any ideas?
[09:25] <hossasaur> maikol: it's all about resizing the ntfs partition from gparted, and i think the sata controller might have something to do with it.  there's loads of people on forums who've had the same problem
[09:25] <Peres_> unop: ls -1 | xargs wc -l gives another wwaaaaay bigger number
[09:25] <FunnyMan3595> I'm having problems with A/V sync in video playback.  It's affecting .wmv's and flash movies for certain, possibly others (haven't tested).  Video lags behind audio, and in mplayer, moving resets them to sync'd (momentarily), and the new position seems to be based off of where the audio was.
[09:25] <Peres_> unop: no, it is bash , because kornshell can handle it well.
[09:25] <Peres_> unop: thanks anyway
[09:26] <bruenig> FunnyMan3595, that sounds familiar for flash 7, never heard it on wmv
[09:26] <hossasaur> maikol: my new general rule of thumb is to only resize ntfs with dos/windows-based partitioners
[09:26] <FunnyMan3595> bruenig: Flash 9.
[09:26] <jammer> bruenig that works, thanks, I just forgot the format for the cp command
[09:26] <hossasaur> dyrne: thanks
[09:26] <Justy-> http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/5853/gpartedzd5.png    \\  I  typed sudo gparted and here my problem is
[09:26] <maikol> hossasaur: good rule.
[09:27] <andre> Can someone take a minute out of their day to help me setup my secon monitor?
[09:27] <FunnyMan3595> It's got to be an overarching problem, to hit two video playback methods that dissimilar, doesn't it?
[09:27] <unop> Peres_,  errm, it cant be bash, the error message says otherwise but -- for i in `perl -le 'print for a..z'`; do ls $i*; done | wc -l    should help
[09:28] <kaje1> Is a firewall installed by default in Ubuntu 6.10?
[09:28] <Peres_> unop: when i start kornshell, it can handle, ls can handle it perfectly and give me the exact number of files, and it uses the same ls program. so why do u think it is not a bash limitation??
[09:29] <andre> I've installed nvidia-glx, but nvidia-settings doesn't give me the same options anymore... mainly the options necessary for my setting up my dual monitors....  can someone help me please?
[09:29] <bruenig> !firewall | kaje1
[09:29] <ubotu> kaje1: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[09:29] <Justy-> hossasaur: http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/5853/gpartedzd5.png    \\  I  typed sudo gparted and here my problem is
[09:29] <blackest> which is better edgy or dapper
[09:29] <Peres_> unop: wow, this is extremely weird
[09:29] <andre> !nvidia
[09:29] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:29] <bruenig> blackest, what are you looking for specifically, dapper is said to be more stable generally. Edgy is more bleeding edge, firefox 2.0 and whatnot
[09:30] <kaje1> uboto: thanks for clearing that up... That's what I thought, but I firestarter's website made it sound like it was not just a GUI config tool, but the actual firewall itself...
[09:30] <Peres_> unop: now, under bash, i tried it again, and it says --> 5312, so now it can handle it?? (im still downloading small files, and monitor the progress with ls | wc -l
[09:30] <unop> Peres_, you should ask the folks in #bash, they'll definitely know
[09:30] <bruenig> !thanks | kaje1
[09:30] <ubotu> kaje1: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[09:30] <blackest> well myth tv slimserver and probably zoneminder and with 3 tv cards plus digital tv
[09:30] <unop> Peres_,  but which command did you try - mine or yours?
[09:30] <kaje1> lol, well thanks anyway =)
[09:31] <blackest> i think edgy might support this best
[09:31] <Peres_> unop: its not a bash thing apperantly? now it can handle it?? but before with smaller amount of files, it gave me the error
[09:31] <hossasaur> Justy-: close gparted, type 'sudo umount /dev/hda1' then 'gksudo gparted'
[09:31] <Peres_> unop: mine, ls -l | wc -l
[09:32] <Justy-> hossasaur: nope, i can just format it and delete
[09:32] <unop> Peres_,  I dunno, how are you downloading files and populating thid directory?
[09:32] <Peres_> unop: wget
[09:33] <TheVault> Hello guys, I got a question about Broadcom in Ubuntu, I am sure you get this alot but mine has a little problem
[09:33] <StFS> does anybody know how I can "pause" the boot process? I need to see a message that appears...
[09:33] <hossasaur> Justy-: what did it say when you typed umount
[09:33] <unop> Peres_,  I dunno really .. you should ask the #bash folks
[09:33] <Justy-> it un mounted it successfully did say nothing
[09:33] <Justy-> hossasaur:
[09:34] <Peres_> unop: thanks alot for ur response anyway! laterzz
[09:35] <Jatone> Anyone here have any luck installing a conexant 14f1:2F00 modem in edgy?
[09:35] <Peres_> unop: it's weird, because i tried again ls *.jpg | wc -l ----> bash: /bin/ls: Argument list too long :D
[09:35] <TheVault> What do you do if Ubuntu does not recognize your wireless network card. I have a Dell Inspiron E1405 laptop. When I did the command to show me what network devices I have, it shows a I have a broadcom device but it does not tell me what kind because it says it does not exit or something like that
[09:35] <Industrial> How do I disable my PC speaker?
[09:35] <hotsoda> is there any way i could hide the beryl manger task icon in gnome?
[09:35] <TheVault> Says Broadcom and some words thats does not relate to what I have
[09:35] <exs> guys, how do I update my gtk-gnutella client?.. version 0.96.3 is out and I want to upgrade. Thanks
[09:35] <unop> Peres_,  does ls *jpg actually work (without the pipe to wc) ?
[09:35] <Senesence> How do I install this font http://www.netalive.org/tinkering/triskweline/

[09:35] <Jatone> Industrial your speakers or your sound card?
[09:36] <Industrial> speaker, and its a laptop
[09:36] <dyrne> TheVault: best bet is to do a google search like: site:ubuntuforums.org broadcom wireless   youll get alot of step by step stuff for ndiswrapper. its not too bad to setup but ive never done it
[09:36] <spasticteapot> Speakers...I know about speakers!
[09:36] <joevandyk> Any ideas about how to 'reset' my wireless NIC after it loses it's wireless signal?
[09:36] <spasticteapot> What's the issue?
[09:36] <Jatone> just hit the mute key? lol
[09:36] <spasticteapot> Finally...I'm useful!
[09:36] <jack_deltrino> Industrial: try what i said, rmmdo pcspkr
[09:36] <joevandyk> it shows a signal strength of 0/94 after a bit of being on
[09:36] <jack_deltrino> sudo rmmod pcspkr*
[09:36] <Justy-> hossasaur: it says nothing, it successfully mounted
[09:36] <Industrial> in short - this godawful anoying beep sound.
[09:36] <Peres_> unop: no, it says also bash: /bin/ls: Argument list too long
[09:36] <Industrial> jack_deltrino: roger
[09:36] <spasticteapot> Industrial: What's the speaker problem?
[09:36] <spasticteapot> I actually know a good bit about speaker design, repair, and creation.
[09:37] <hossasaur> Justy-: look at gparted right now, what does it say under mountpoint for /dev/hda1
[09:37] <Jatone> Anyone know how to install modem drivers?
[09:37] <TheVault> dyrne: Thank you. I will try that. Will I be able to get my wireless to work using the LIVE CD? I don't feel like installing linux like I did before, I wanna make sure that I am able to do things before I go making it my 2ndary OS
[09:37] <Industrial> spasticteapot: that it made a beep, hehe. But its fixed now.
[09:37] <Justy-> hossasaur: it is blank, it is not mounted

[09:40] <ubuntu_nub> and now every time i go to start a gl app i get a bunch of dispatch errors
[09:40] <ratbert90> Good god I hope that the daily build of fiesty works with my DG965RY.  As I do not have a 512 meg thumb drive :(
[09:41] <exs> anyone want to help me installing the new gtk-gnutella client?.. i got the setup file but neither 'Configure, make or install' are working
[09:41] <unop> Peres_,  it turns out bash limits lines to 64K long --  you need to break ls down in  this case
[09:41] <emet> how do I force the cd open
[09:41] <Justy-> hossasaur: linux does. it is in fstab i think
[09:41] <Jatone> Anyone here with experience setting up dial-up drivers?

[09:42] <joevandyk> Anyone know how I can reset my wireless NIC?  it shows a signal strength of '0/94' after a few hours of being up.  Doing a 'iwconfig ath0 essid myssid' works sometimes to get it working again.  Rebooting always works.

I am looking for an organizer that makes managing a large collection easily.  I was using Mediamonkey on Zindow, not sure if you've seen it, but that's basically that type of functionnality I'm looking for...
[09:51] <venatici__> nyone know?

[09:52] <ompaul> !ntfs | Mhz
[09:52] <Slasherx4> ok m8 ty
[09:52] <venatici__> Is possible install beryl + xfce ????

[09:53] <ompaul> Mhz, don't ask to ask - ask
[09:53] <Justy-> hossasaur: ok. do you know if -somehow- i find a way to create an unallocated space, is it possible to enlarge my current ubuntu partitation by adding this unallocated space to it?

[09:53] <venatici__> Anyone know if Is possible install beryl + xfce ????
[09:53] <Jatone> slasher open a tab up with me so we can talk less spam hehe
[09:54] <Mhz> ompaul: alright, thanks, I'll be back if this doesn't help. thanks a lot ;)
[09:54] <Justy-> piedoggie: yes! i didnt understand
[09:54] <Justy-> ops
[09:54] <knight__> santa, thank you ill take care of it
[09:54] <knight__> :-)
[09:54] <Justy-> piedoggie: i didnt misunderstood you can add the unallocated space to current ubuntu partitation?
[09:55] <Justy-> piedoggie: or did i?
[09:55] <santa> knight__, so
[09:55] <Slasherx4> Jatone: done, I think, lol
[09:55] <santa> knight__, if you have a question just ask
[09:55] <Polibio> hola
[09:55] <piedoggie> justy: if you're talking about adding unallocated space at the end of the current partition during the disk partitioning process at install time,
[09:55] <piedoggie> I think you can do it but you have to work a little hard
[09:55] <hossasaur> Justy-: sorry bud, you can resize your ntfs partition in windows
[09:56] <Cyrus25801> i am having problems with mozilla and firefox both hang halway when im browsing.what can i do
[09:56] <hossasaur> Justy-: you can add unallocated space, but from the looks of it you don't have any
[09:56] <piedoggie> justy: if you're talking about changing sizes afterwards, it can be done but you need to be very careful and you're probably better off with LVM underneath everything
[09:56] <piedoggie> although that has a series of big negatives associated with it as well
[09:56] <litheum> woo, just did aptitude upgrade the other night.... and now when i try to start my machine i see tons of "modprobe: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"!

[09:57] <hossasaur> Justy-: a program like partition magic can resize your ntfs partition
[09:57] <Jatone> you will need a few packages from the update manager
[09:57] <piedoggie> doesn't gparted reallocate space for NTFS as well?
[09:57] <piedoggie> I should say repartition storage
[09:57] <hossasaur> piedoggie: it can, but it can corrupt an ntfs partition
[09:57] <Jatone> Anyone have any luck installing a modem on edgy?

[09:58] <mickeldi> hi
[09:58] <bruenig> partition magic is garbage
[09:58] <kexman> yeah dont use pqmagic
[09:58] <mrbrdo> hey. what do you have to do if you install Windows AFTER ubuntu, so Grub boot screen is gone?
[09:59] <kexman> at least dont mix it with linux

[09:59] <santa> bruenig, i agree
[09:59] <kexman> they dont realy like each other :)
[09:59] <hossasaur> bruenig: if you have another windows-based partition program, do suggest
[09:59] <Jatone> !install modem
[09:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about install modem - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:59] <derFlo> where can i dl plugins for  rhythmbox?
[09:59] <santa> mrbrdo, use the linux live cd or grub-install
[09:59] <bruenig> hossasaur, gparted live cd will work fine
[09:59] <whonicca> question, lets say theres this file .ioftpd in 100 folders in parent directory archive, is there a command that i can do to delete every instance of the file .ioftpd without me having to manually go through each folder?
[09:59] <hossasaur> bruenig: gparted can corrupt an ntfs partition if it resizes it
[09:59] <bruenig> so can partition magic
[09:59] <hossasaur> bruenig: it just happened to me yesterday
[10:00] <hossasaur> bruenig: partition magic was made to resize ntfs partitions, it'll actually work
[10:00] <mrbrdo> santa: what exactly, i use the live cd and do what?
[10:00] <pingswept> I'm trying to install Edgy using ubiquity, but it won't detect any hard drives. Is there another way I can install?
[10:00] <knight__> santa, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6272/
[10:00] <bruenig> gparted was made to resize it as well
[10:00] <Jatone> !network
[10:00] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[10:00] <hossasaur> bruenig: gparted can corrupt ntfs partitions, and does on a regular basis

[10:00] <santa> mrbrdo
[10:00] <bruenig> hossasaur, and it does work, in your particular case it failed, but don't act as if that is a norm, you should always backup obviously
[10:01] <knight__> santa, didnt get how i helped you
[10:01] <santa> mrbrdo, you have to rewrite the grub entry
[10:01] <piedoggie> hossasaur: stick with PartitionMagic for NTFS or do a full image backup and try gparted
[10:01] <hossasaur> bruenig: many people have had the same problem as myself
[10:01] <bruenig> sort of the same concept as !worksforme but the other way around, don't FUD this because you had a bad experience
[10:01] <hossasaur> piedoggie: i've already fixed the problem
[10:01] <mrbrdo> santa: do i just do grub-install from console on the live cd?
[10:01] <piedoggie> okay.
[10:01] <davin> Bart
[10:01] <davin> what player you use to listen to BD

[10:02] <santa> knight__, : )
[10:02] <hossasaur> bruenig: i'm sorry, i completely disagree
[10:02] <santa> mrbrdo
[10:02] <knight__> ;)
[10:02] <emet> can I do a forced unmount
[10:02] <emet> like if the drive is busy, ignore that
[10:02] <santa> mrbrdo, use grub-install
[10:02] <phaidros> hi, since edgy my right ALT is different than left ALT, hot to get them the same for GNOME shortcuts?
[10:02] <hossasaur> bruenig: this isn't an uncommon occurance. every person who's resized their ntfs partition with vista installed on it has corrupted the partition
[10:02] <mrbrdo> santa: so just boot into the live cd, open a console and type grub-install?
[10:02] <hossasaur> bruenig: many with xp have done the same
[10:02] <santa> mrbrdo, do you know how to use this
[10:03] <bruenig> well that is a vista problem then obviously
[10:03] <santa> mrbrdo, yep look the parameters and ask if something is unclear
[10:03] <Cyrus25801> bruenig: i am having problems with mozilla and firefox they both hang temporarily.can you help
[10:03] <hossasaur> bruenig: no, it's picking the wrong partition software
[10:03] <mrbrdo> santa: okay let me try that
[10:03] <bruenig> !best
[10:03] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[10:03] <jahid> hi, how can i know which application is using my 21 port? when i was trying install proftpd, i get an error like "Failed binding to ::, port 21: address already in use"
[10:03] <bruenig> Cyrus25801, kind of vague there
[10:04] <hossasaur> bruenig: the software he wants to use is partition magic
[10:04] <daum> hey guys, quick question, is the ubuntu install easy for a person new to linux?
[10:04] <bruenig> ok, I have had bad experiences with good ole partition magic
[10:04] <hossasaur> daum: yes
[10:04] <jahid> daum, i think so
[10:04] <daum> hossasaur, it mostly graphical?
[10:05] <hossasaur> daum: yes, but you should know what you're doing before getting into it
[10:05] <daum> i only ask because my friend is going to be switching over and I use gentoo so no idea how easy it will be for him in ubuntu
[10:05] <hossasaur> daum: the most confuzing part, imo, is knowing how to set up partitions
[10:05] <daum> alright i can do that easily=)
[10:05] <hossasaur> daum: good
[10:05] <Cyrus25801> bruenig: while im browsing i cant change tabs or do anything in any one of the programs. the rest of the system is fine all other programs work but mozilla and firefox hang. a few minutes later it comes right and then does the same.
[10:05] <daum> hossasaur, it use a graphical client for that or fdisk command line?
[10:05] <MarcM> daum: i agree with hossasaur, everything else is very simple
[10:05] <santa> daum, if you are aware how to set up gentoo properly it shouldn't be hard to set up ubuntu
[10:05] <phaidros> hi, since edgy my right ALT is different than left ALT, hot to get them the same for GNOME shortcuts?
[10:05] <daum> MarcM, alright supeb
[10:06] <Senesence> Help, Ubuntu can't recognize .PCF fonts. Whats the deal?
[10:06] <daum> santa, heh, i've been running linux for about 6 years now
[10:06] <hossasaur> bruenig: i had one bad experience with partition magic in conjunction with ext3 partitions, but he's not dealing with that, he's dealing with ntfs
[10:06] <kexman> i get this with uname -a Linux tux02 2.6.15-28-amd64-generic #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Feb 1 15:53:41 UTC 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux | and i need the source of this running kernel ! where can i find it ?
[10:06] <daum> santa, just wasn't sure if my friend was going to be going nuts
[10:06] <santa> daum, than installing with a gui shouldn't be a problem : )
[10:06] <hossasaur> daum: graphical, though i'd highly suggest using windows-based partition software if he's resizing an ntfs partition with vista on it
[10:06] <daum> santa, ubuntu uses what type of partition by default?
[10:06] <bruenig> Cyrus25801, well the first thought that comes to my mind is to do "mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozillabackup" and then launching firefox again and seeing if the problem persists. If it goes away then it could be a bad combination of extensions or configurations.
[10:06] <santa> daum, use ext3
[10:06] <phaidros> kexman, aptitude search kernel-sources
[10:06] <hossasaur> daum: ext3 or ext2
[10:06] <Industrial> sqlite isnt available to me from the commandline, and I dont see a package for it. the library is installed but I have no idea how to make a database.
[10:07] <daum> hossasaur, aye you have a reccomendation for whta type of software to resize his ntfs with(xp windows)
[10:07] <phaidros> kexman, or aptitude search linux-sources (cant remember)
[10:07] <hossasaur> daum: i say ext3 first because that's the one he should use
[10:07] <daum> aye ext3 i'll have him use
[10:07] <hossasaur> daum: partition magic
[10:07] <kexman> well the first one didnt gave me no output

[10:07] <hossasaur> daum: well, eh, use a dos-based partition program
[10:07] <phaidros> anyone familiar with xkb? have two different ALTs want to have it the same, so both keycode 64 & 113 make ALT
[10:07] <kexman> phaidros, doesnt work
[10:07] <hossasaur> daum: something that's good with ntfs
[10:07] <Cyrus25801> bruenig: will try that and come back to you.
[10:07] <piedoggie> I second hossasuar's recommendation as well
[10:07] <Senesence> Any support guys around here?
[10:07] <phaidros> kexman, what it shows?
[10:07] <kexman> nothing :)
[10:07] <piedoggie> at least for NTFS
[10:08] <daum> hossasaur, ok thanks
[10:08] <Industrial> Senesence: about 1000 :P, just ask.
[10:08] <kexman> sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Feb 21 17:21:54 2007 aaaaaaaaa, how do i get rid of this ?
[10:08] <hossasaur> daum: partition magic works well in xp, i'm not sure if they have a vista-compatible version yet
[10:08] <Senesence> How do I get PCF font's working on Dapper
[10:08] <santa> mrbrdo, and do you know what to do ?
[10:08] <phaidros> kexman, change system datre
[10:08] <phaidros> date
[10:08] <kexman> phaidros, the date is okay !
[10:08] <Industrial> sqlite isnt available to me from the commandline, and I dont see a package for it. the library is installed but I have no idea how to make a database.
[10:08] <royel> hey, what can I do to enable syntax highlighting in a console editor? Which editors are best suited for this?
[10:09] <phaidros> kexman, well, set the date to feb 22
[10:09] <phaidros> ;)
[10:09] <kexman> why should i !?
[10:09] <hossasaur> daum: but if he's resizing an ntfs partition with vista on it in gparted (graphical partition software on the ubuntu live cd), it will corrupt the partition and he'll have to re-install vista, and then re-install grub
[10:09] <kexman> ufff
[10:09] <bruenig> royel, vim
[10:09] <piedoggie> royel: emacs and vi
[10:09] <Industrial> royel: I recommend Vim, vim.org - but it has a steep learning curve and is not 'conventional'
[10:09] <hossasaur> daum: otherwise, very easy install, as easy as xp

[10:10] <phaidros> ok.
[10:10] <Senesence> I mean no matter what I do, Ubuntu just can't find PCF fonts. I can't believe it's such a complicated matter. I mean it's just fonts.

[10:10] <sigger2> anyone recommend a GUI mp3 tag editor - not loving Easy Tag.
[10:11] <hossasaur> how do you install a library from the terminal? in this case sdl and sdl-image
[10:11] <Jowi> what's wrong with my spelling today?!
[10:11] <bruenig> easytag is the best I have seen
[10:11] <phaidros> sigger2, rhythmbox? listen?
[10:11] <piedoggie> royel:  most editors have tutorials.  I know Emacs and vim do
[10:11] <jetsaredim> I want  to be able to use smp and nvidia binary drivers
[10:11] <phaidros> why not do it with the player?
[10:11] <royel> Industrial: bruenig: is there something special needed to invoke the highlighting, I don't see any yet with vim
[10:11] <bruenig> phaidros, because you have to do each mp3 separately
[10:11] <Senesence> Anyone here use Triskweline?
[10:11] <sigger2> phaidros, they do tag editing?
[10:11] <bruenig> royel, save it with the right extension
[10:11] <phaidros> bruenig, partly tru for listen and rhythmbox ..
[10:11] <Jowi> jetsaredim, you need the restricted modules and nvidia-kernel-common
[10:11] <Jowi> !generic
[10:11] <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)
[10:11] <Industrial> royel: #vim, theres vimtutor and readmes etc.
[10:12] <bruenig> completely true for rhyhmbox
[10:12] <phaidros> sigger2, imho .. or is it just for the player-database?
[10:12] <jetsaredim> Jowi: the nvidia drivers don't work with the generic kerne;
[10:12] <jetsaredim> kernel
[10:12] <quaal> http://fukung.net/v/2294/vista.jpg
[10:12] <quaal> haha
[10:12] <royel> piedoggie: I'm most used to nano/pico, but I'm not afraid of the others. I will admit I'm sure I will need a reference for a while though
[10:12] <MikesHardLinux> jetsaredim: i use generic smp (Pentium D) AND nvidia drivers (7600GT)
[10:12] <sigger2> bruenig, ya one by one is not what I want
[10:12] <Industrial> Jowi: any idea? I dont have sqlite(3) on the commandline so I dont know how to make a database ..
[10:12] <sebrock> phaidros, where are those mac fonts you talk about?
[10:12] <Industrial> Jowi: also not in the packages
[10:12] <hossasaur> bruenig: how do you install a library from the terminal? in this case sdl-image and sdl
[10:12] <piedoggie> there are plenty of those for Emacs
[10:12] <sigger2> phaidros, not player database.  I use ampache for that.
[10:12] <Industrial> Jowi: only libsqlite3 and doc.
[10:12] <jetsaredim> MikesHardLinux: really?
[10:12] <koth> Hi there
[10:12] <bruenig> hossasaur, sudo apt-get install libsdl-image1.2
[10:13] <Jatone> jowi that guide is useless for me atm lol
[10:13] <hossasaur> bruenig: thanks
[10:13] <gemini9> hey there
[10:13] <jetsaredim> do I need to be booted to the generic kernel in order for the nvidia drivers to get installed in the right place?
[10:13] <MikesHardLinux> jetsaredim: Yes. Have you looked in the restricted modules as Jowi has suggested?
[10:13] <lisapc> I have vista installed and want to install ubuntu on hda1.  any docs on how pls>
[10:13] <Jowi> Industrial, sqlite is in the universe repo

[10:13] <Cyban1> Is there a minilmist verison of ubuntu?
[10:13] <jetsaredim> MikesHardLinux: I've got the nvidia working with the 686 kernel

[10:14] <Senesence> Anyone here know how to install .PCF fonts on Dapper??
[10:14] <kexman> that picture is LOL
[10:14] <emet> what is the name of the blubuntu package
[10:14] <emet> the theme for ubuntu
[10:14] <MikesHardLinux> jetsaredim: but 686 kernel is not smp, right? :-) or is it?
[10:14] <jetsaredim> MikesHardLinux: right - its not
[10:14] <bruenig> emet, themes aren't generally packaged in the repositories if that is what you  mean
[10:14] <Industrial> Jowi: thanks.
[10:14] <bruenig> emet, you will probably need to google it until you can find the tar.gz or whatever else way they have you install it
[10:14] <MikesHardLinux> jetsaredim: i am using the default generic kernel along with the restricted nvidia module and smp is working fine
[10:15] <trins> MikesHardLinux,  my generic 686 is smp
[10:15] <gemini9> i have a pc with KUBUNTU only, but my APT manager is locked down (keeps asking for my su password...how do i find out what it is?)
[10:15] <trins> Linux lis01 2.6.17-11-generic #2 SMP
[10:15] <emet> bruenig, I thin this one is
[10:15] <koth> Question about DualBoot, the WindowsDualBootHowto talk about installing windows and ubuntu on the same hdd
[10:15] <seanmccann> I just installed Feisty Fawn and my screen "messes" up every few seconds; almost like old rabbit ear tvs. Also it takes forever to scroll down. What settings do I config?
[10:15] <MikesHardLinux> trins: well, not talking about generic. talking about the "686" kernel
[10:15] <trins> aps
[10:15] <Jowi> trins, yes, in edgy the generic kernel is both 686 and smp. in dapper you would need to install the 686-smp kernel.
[10:15] <Flannel> seanmccann: Feisty support is in #ubuntu+!
[10:15] <Flannel> seanmccann: er, #ubuntu+1
[10:15] <nalioth> gemini9: there is no 'su'.  use YOUR user pass
[10:15] <seanmccann> thank you

[10:16] <rowdy> hi there!! on my ubuntu-server i want to automount my external hard-drive when I connect or when my server boots and they drive is connected
[10:16] <patrialt> is there any difference between xubuntu/ubunut/kubuntu other than visual?
[10:16] <trins> i think it was about edgy, sorry
[10:16] <gemini9> when i login at boot up that same password works fine
[10:17] <phaidros_> hm, kicked myself
[10:17] <nalioth> gemini9: try opening a console and typing "kdesu adept" or "gksudo synaptic"
[10:17] <Flannel> gemini9: and you're using sudo, right?
[10:17] <Jowi> Flannel, ah. my memory must be off.
[10:17] <MikesHardLinux> jetsaredim: not sure i understand the question. i guess, when you install the restricted module, yes it will install to the kernel you are booted in

[10:17] <jetsaredim> MikesHardLinux: m,aybe that's the probn
[10:17] <l2obert> i have a problem with kubuntu for connect my computer (kubuntu) with the pc "mother"(windows xp)
[10:17] <gemini9> yes, using sudo
[10:18] <koth> Flannel: Thank for the link, i looked at that HowTo already, it is telling me to resize the partion, but is it possible to install both OS into different hdd and have it dual boot?
[10:18] <nalioth> l2obert: perhaps #kubuntu might be a better channel
[10:18] <MikesHardLinux> jetsaredim: are you trying to install the nvidia driver onto a different kernel than what you are currently using?

[10:19] <gemini9> this is a KUBUNTU only pc. non-dual booat
[10:19] <Flannel> koth: of course.  Just install windows to one, then ubuntu to the other.  If windows is on anything but primary master (hda), you may need to add a line to grub's config, but yeah, doable and easy
[10:19] <rowdy> on my ubuntu-server i want to automount my external hard-drive when I connect or when my server boots and they drive is connected
[10:19] <Jowi> rowdy, put it in /etc/fstab to mount it at boot time. if you want it to automount when you connect it you will need to create a udev rule I think...
[10:19] <gemini9> boot, even
[10:19] <Flannel> gemini9: so, you used sudo [whatever] , it asked for the password, you gave it your user password, and it gave you an error?
[10:20] <kexman> http://fukung.net/v/589/goodpaintjob.jpg hahahaha
[10:20] <rowdy> Thanks Jowi, I will look up the udev rule, duh! dont know why the fstab didnt strike me
[10:20] <emet> my ubuntu is blue
[10:20] <emet> if you like blue
[10:20] <emet> download this
[10:20] <koth> Flannel: Thanks, windows is actually on hda now, since it is my first OS and i am trying to add ubuntu, is it going to be harder?

[10:20] <Jowi> rowdy, I haven't done it myself but should be in /etc/udev/rules.d
[10:20] <trins> i will trye it, blubuntu.. xD
[10:21] <mirak> why can't we open two session with this firefox idiot ?
[10:21] <sigger2> In EasyTag when I try to exit a dir with music files, it tells me "Some files have been modified but not saved..." even though I haven't touched any files.  Anyone know why?
[10:21] <emet> it's not bad
[10:21] <rowdy> Cool!!, thanks again
[10:21] <Flannel> koth: nope.  Easier.  Just install ubuntu to the second harddrive, write grub to the MBR of hda (which will be default), and you're good to go.
[10:21] <gemini9> neither work
[10:21] <koth> Flannel: Thank a lot. i am going to try it now.
[10:21] <sente> hi all, i want to install ubuntu on my laptop which currently has XP, i don't want to have to reinstall XP and i want a dual-boot, someone mentioned 'gparted' do i need a certain .iso to do this or will whatever 'standard' iso i can find a torrent of work?

[10:22] <bTop> hi. need to setup a php development environment on ubuntu. What do I need
[10:22] <Flannel> !lamp |  bTop
[10:22] <ubotu> bTop: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[10:22] <emet> guys if you going to download that I would modify the default settings cause hey are bad
[10:22] <DLB|Maximus> anyone here use synergy?
[10:23] <emet> but I got mine looking real nice
[10:23] <Jowi> rowdy, then you can mount it normally.
[10:23] <rowdy> but would tbe boot fail?
[10:23] <kumelk> which tool is best to download movies / music on ubuntu, newsgroup tool or smth ?
[10:23] <rowdy> i mean would the server still boot up?
[10:23] <krantix> hi! what are the main advantages of moving /home to a new partition of the hard disk? thanks!
[10:24] <Jowi> rowdy, "mount" will follow the rules as set up in /etc/fstab. no the boot will be fine as long as the external disk does not mount to a system critical point such as /lib for example.
[10:24] <rowdy> krantix: it gives u the advantage of reparing ur system, reinstalling, upgrading w/o loosing ur data
[10:24] <Flannel> krantix: when you reinstall/whatever you can keep all your data (reinstall around /home)
[10:24] <wkdown> kumelk: like a torrent? or like limewire?
[10:24] <patrialt> flannel couldn't you just copy the folder before you reinstall/upgrade?
[10:24] <krantix> rowdy and flannel, thanks... but i need to reinstall all additional software?
[10:24] <rowdy> Great!! U have been a great help Jowi
[10:24] <DLB|Maximus> im wondering if anyone can tell me why on synaptic has synergy 1.3.1-2 when all i can find on synergy's homepage is 1.3.1-1
[10:24] <trins> krantix, if you install a new version of ubuntu, you will have your users data "unafected"
[10:24] <Flannel> patrialt: yeah, but that's a lot of work.  copying, then restoring
[10:24] <whonicca> is it just me or do i notice most kde based apps are better than their gnome counterparts
[10:25] <patrialt> i wouldn't think so
[10:25] <Jowi> rowdy, it will work similar to the cdrom entry that is also in fstab. the boot will not fail if there's no cd in the drive, right? :)
[10:25] <rowdy> what do u mean krantix
[10:25] <patrialt> gksudo nautilus then copy+paste
[10:25] <rowdy> Duh again!
[10:25] <Flannel> krantix: yeah, you'll only keep your stuff in /home, so just configs and user data.  programs will still need to be reinstalled
[10:25] <cavediver> Noone knows where the kernel-changes for linux-image-server is found ?
[10:25] <krantix> rowdy, as an example all my wine settings are in the /home folder...
[10:25] <cavediver> Something is updated but I don't know if it's something I need to update my server for
[10:25] <krantix> flannel, a fresh installation of wine would then use the old settings?
[10:25] <Flannel> patrialt: right, but when you have GB of data, it takes a while to copy (besides, where are you going to copy it to?)
[10:25] <rowdy> yup
[10:26] <Flannel> krantix: yep
[10:26] <krantix> flannel, sounds great...
[10:26] <Flannel> krantix: actually, a fresh install of wine would have your old programs in it too
[10:26] <rowdy> i do it all the time
[10:26] <Cyrus25801> bruenig: it seems to be working but all my book marks are gone. what was the command i ran and how did it solve the problem
[10:26] <Flannel> krantix: just because of how wine stores programs, in your homedir (~/.wine/drive_c/[windows stuff] )
[10:26] <rowdy> krantix: i just installed Ubuntu ultimate edition and used the same home folder
[10:26] <patrialt> flannel: i have a windows partition (20gb) and 100gb ext3 partition for storage for both Windows/Ubuntu, and a 25gb partition for my ubuntu install
[10:26] <emet> how I gethow do I get program to autoload when GNOME loads in linux
[10:26] <rowdy> so i have 2 ubuntu edgys both using the same home folder
[10:26] <lisapc> if i have ubuntu installed on hda1 , how can I totally clear that partition so the swap part is also deleted?
[10:26] <gemini9> do i need to get root? to install apt get installs?
[10:27] <rowdy> all the applications run fine
[10:27] <turbolover> hey what is video overlay and opengl overlay? could they impact the performance of my system?
[10:27] <krantix> flannel, rowdy, i think i will move my home partition right now... sounds good in case of system crash or whatever...
[10:27] <maccam94> gemini9, use sudo or sudo su
[10:27] <Cyban1> !minimal
[10:27] <ubotu> The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[10:27] <Flannel> gemini9, maccam94, don't use sudo su.  if you want a root shell, use `sudo -i`
[10:27] <maccam94> gemini9, all you have to do when using sudo is enter your user password
[10:27] <Cyban1> !ppc
[10:27] <ubotu> ppc is PowerPC.  Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers, and now a fully supported Ubuntu architecture.
[10:27] <patrialt> could someone recommend a cd burner that recognized .bin/.cue format?
[10:27] <rowdy> yeah krantix ..if you are afraid of losing data, check out mondorescue
[10:27] <patrialt> recognizes*
[10:28] <rowdy> its a great peice of software
[10:28] <maccam94> Flannel, I forget the reason, but why do you need to do that?
[10:28] <cavediver> patrialt: K3B
[10:28] <gemini9> what's the diff?
[10:28] <maccam94> gemini9, some security thing I think
[10:28] <patrialt> thank you cavediver
[10:28] <gemini9> i figured
[10:28] <krantix> rowdy, i've almost finished my migration from XP to Ubuntu... it's the first time i'm stopping to dual boot :-)
[10:28] <nalioth> patrialt: k3b
[10:29] <patrialt> thank you also nalioth :p
[10:29] <maccam94> gemini9, but both give you the root shell in any case
[10:29] <nalioth> gemini9: sudo su is redundant.  sudo -i or sudo -s is the correct way to get a superuser shell
[10:29] <maccam94> eh, i just like sudo su because it's easier to type
[10:29] <crimsun> ubotu: ppc ~= s/fully supported/community\-supported \(as of Feisty\)/g
[10:29] <dyrne> you guys tried deluge? i really like it very light weight in gnome and xfce
[10:29] <koth> is using ntfs still risk in ubuntu?
[10:29] <patrialt> when you download something with add/remove or synaptic manager where does it download to?
[10:29] <dyrne> that was meant for offtopic sorry
[10:29] <Flannel> patrialt: /var/cache/apt
[10:29] <nalioth> maccam94: when your box breaks, you get to keep the pieces :)
[10:30] <patrialt> flannel thanks
[10:30] <nalioth> koth: it is not advised with any linux distro
[10:30] <maccam94> on a different machine however, i've got a problem with a segfaulting synaptic, dunno why but it has not worked for the past 2+ weeks (apt-get works though)
[10:30] <nalioth> !tell koth about ntfs
[10:30] <padge> How do you print to the stderr in c?
[10:30] <padge> Sorry for the off-topic
[10:30] <krantix> flannel, rowdy, what about aving a partition even for /opt ??? it that a good idea?
[10:30] <krantix> h
[10:30] <Flannel> padge: ##C
[10:30] <bTop> how do I install apache2 ? whats the command again?
[10:30] <trins> krantix, yes for 3rd party software is very usefull
[10:30] <nalioth> krantix: that is up to you
[10:30] <Flannel> bTop: sudo apt-get install apache2
[10:30] <nalioth> !tell bTop about lamp
[10:31] <lisapc> when installing ubuntu, whats the recommended swap file size using a notebook with 1 gig ram?
[10:31] <emet> does epiphany have adblock
[10:31] <nalioth> lisapc: 768mb
[10:31] <Flannel> lisapc: depends on what you're doing.  If you ever plan on hibernating, you'll need at least 1G
[10:31] <dyrne> 1 gig might be better for hibernate
[10:31] <padge> Flannel: Thanks
[10:31] <nalioth> emet: if it uses firefox plugins, yes, if not, no.  you can always use a hosts file (this will stop all crap from any network app)
[10:31] <fluxd> How do I add yself to a group?
[10:31] <gemini9> no luck
[10:32] <bTop> thanx Flannel
[10:32] <Flannel> lisapc: most people recommend double the RAM, with a max of about 1G, unless you're doing specialized stuff, in which case you'd know ;)
[10:32] <trins> fluxd, man addgroup
[10:32] <dyrne> fluxd: there are cli tools and gui ones but i usually just sudo gedit /etc/group and add myself
[10:32] <gemini9> apt-get ujust gives me a  menu
[10:32] <lisapc> nalioth 768 mimiumal?  or 1 gig?
[10:32] <maccam94> i'm a gentoo users as well, and when i get segfault issues it's usually fixed by doing an "emerge -uN world" (update and reinstall everything new) or "emerge -e package" (reinstall everything related to a package), but I don't know how to do something similar in a debian based system.
[10:32] <patrialt> flannel when you install a .deb does it get installed to any specific directory?
[10:32] <gemini9> i want to get apt-get manager to come out of lock-down mode
[10:33] <lisapc> Flannel so 1 gig swap would suffice?
[10:33] <Flannel> patrialt: er, it gets installed all over the place.
[10:33] <fluxd> dyrne, trins how would I add myself using the gui Users and Groups tool ?
[10:33] <maccam94> i really want to fix synaptic, it's easier to search for stuff with it than with apt-get/aptitude
[10:33] <patrialt> Ahh, okay
[10:33] <Flannel> lisapc: I imagine it should be, yeah.
[10:33] <nzx> is there a gui tool for recovering deleted files from a fat32 partition?
[10:33] <nalioth> lisapc: i've got 2.5gb of physical ram on my current box and never really use any swap . . .   i've found on previous boxen, that anything over 768 isn't used much at all (again, specialized tasks may call for different settings)
[10:33] <patrialt> was just hoping to be able to relocate some of it, to place on my storage partition
[10:33] <dyrne> fluxd: im not very familiar with gnome sry
[10:33] <oritemis> hi guys.
[10:33] <fluxd> dyrne ty np
[10:33] <oritemis> I am just new in ubuntu.
[10:34] <maccam94> hi oritemis
[10:34] <Flannel> patrialt: Er.  Linux does stuff differently than windows.  for example, programs are in /bin, config files in /etc, instead of having folders with everything for a particular program in them
[10:34] <oritemis> maccam94: Hi, thank you for the welcome.
[10:34] <maccam94> oritemis, things working well so far?
[10:34] <patrialt> flannel oh, okay, thanks about that, im still new to the conversion from windows to linux :P
[10:35] <oritemis> maccam94: I would like to do just some customizations. ;)
[10:35] <maccam94> ahhh
[10:35] <emet> epiphany is fast
[10:35] <emet> but I'll prob still with FF
[10:35] <emet> stick
[10:35] <patrialt> could someone explain  to me why ext3 doesn't get file fragmentation, much unlike NTFS of FAT32?
[10:35] <dyrne> patrialt: nice thing about that is you only need general paths for all your libs and exes in windows you cant just type a program into run and expect it to. linux it should. plus sharing lib is more effecient
[10:35] <tuxxman> is there a ppc channel anybody can redirect me to?
[10:35] <emet> but damn epiphany is fast
[10:35] <phaidros_> how to set ALT_L and ALT_R correctly? (my right Alt is Mod+5 and doesnt work as Alt-shortcut in Gnome)
[10:35] <trins> fluxd, Select manage groups -> "choose your grup" -> properties -> check users
[10:35] <maccam94> oritemis, a good place to start is by getting themes at www.gnome-look.org
[10:36] <phaidros_> emet, tried ff 3.0 ?
[10:36] <oritemis> maccam94: I am getting a message from rythmbox about a plugin of GStreamer to decod mp3 files.
[10:36] <trins> somthing like this
[10:36] <emet> na I'm running 2.0.0.1
[10:36] <emet> is 3.0 good?
[10:36] <maccam94> oritemis, ah ok you need to get the codec package
[10:36] <trins> i think the way of sudo vi /etc/groups is better and fast
[10:36] <trins> XD
[10:36] <Slasherx4> anyone know how to kill shift+backspace?
 could someone explain to me why ext3 doesn't get file fragmentation, much unlike NTFS of FAT32? <-- good question, but i didnt know that ext3 didnt get fragmentated
[10:36] <phaidros_> emet, just read they use new gecko 2.0 which is speedimproved alot ..
[10:36] <gemini9> adept manager has me in read-only mode
[10:36] <oritemis> maccam94: then that it's expected?
[10:36] <patrialt> i heard that it didn't in like...some video tutorial a few days back
[10:36] <emet> epiphany uses gecko I think
[10:36] <phaidros_> emet, (all alpha state!)
[10:36] <phaidros_> emet, but not gecko 2.0
[10:37] <dyrne> patrialt: its more like it polices itself instead of expecting you to. auto corrects i believe
[10:37] <maccam94> oritemis, yup. mp3 is a proprietary piece of software, so it is not included by default.
[10:37] <fluxd> trins ty
[10:37] <emet> it just is highly integrated with gnome, which makes it load a whole two seconds faster then FF for me
[10:37] <emet> :P
[10:37] <patrialt> dyrne awesome, thank ya much
[10:37] <koth> maccam94: codec package, that's what i need too. can you tell a little more about how to get it/
[10:37] <oritemis> maccam94: proprietary? I thinked it was free...
[10:37] <phaidros_> emet, ah you mean appload, not pageload
[10:37] <emet> no pageload is probably the same
[10:37] <phaidros_> si
[10:37] <lisapc> nalioth ok ill use 768
[10:38] <DLB|Maximus> can someone help me with "route" im using my wireless connection which i can access the internet on but when i try to ping a pc on my lan i get "destination unreachable" im pretty sure this has to do with route....
[10:38] <maccam94> oritemis, free != open source ;-)
[10:38] <subopt> Which distro is typically has more recent versions of packages: Ubuntu, or Debian/testing?
[10:38] <oritemis> maccam94: sure.
[10:38] <fluxd> trins do i have to reboot its added but I cant run a program unless I am in the group
[10:38] <Jatone> anyone know where i can get conexant drivers for edgy?
[10:38] <phaidros_> DLB|Maximus, what the prob?
[10:38] <Flannel> restrictedformats | koth
[10:38] <oritemis> maccam94: free as freedom.

[10:38] <Meizano> Does anyone have any experience with ndiswrapper errors? I can't figure out how to install my sis163u usb wifi card, even after following exact steps. I must be missing something.

[10:38] <emet> subopt, I think debian and ubuntu backport is the same
[10:38] <lisapc> if I chose to install ubuntu using ntfs, will that allow me to copy files from ubuntu to vista, and vice versa?
[10:39] <phaidros_> xkb | koth
[10:39] <subopt> emet: backport?
[10:39] <koth> flannel, thanks
[10:39] <emet> you get packages about 1 day after they released ?
[10:39] <DLB|Maximus> phaidros_: can we chat in #flood, things moving a bit fast in here....
[10:39] <phaidros_> !xkb | koth
[10:39] <Flannel> subopt: debian testing would have more recent packages.  Ubuntu freezes versions of stuff for releases, and backports only contains specific software
[10:39] <maccam94> i'm not familiar with the bot in this channel, but there must be something like
[10:39] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xkb - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:39] <maccam94> !tell oritemis about codecs
[10:39] <phaidros_> !xmodmap | koth

[10:39] <ubotu> koth: xmodmap: X input map modification. In component main, is optional. Version 1:1.0.1-0ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 18 kB, installed size 76 kB
[10:39] <lisapc> nalioth if I chose to install ubuntu using ntfs, will that allow me to copy files from ubuntu to vista, and vice versa?
[10:39] <phaidros_> DLB|Maximus, not much time. quick question, quick answer::)
[10:39] <unop> atomiku,  patrialt - it's the way linux handles the filesystem cache, it loads the file into memory on read and tries and keeps all blocks contigious when writing, defragmentation happens but at a very very small rate -- it's only when you have something less than 5%, that it becomes an issue
[10:39] <emet> subopt, backport repositories keep your packages updated to latest versions, by default ubuntu doesn't enable them .. but there is a risk if you do
[10:39] <maccam94> !codecs | oritemis
[10:40] <ubotu> oritemis: 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
[10:40] <patrialt> lisapc the only way to write to ntfs from linux is with experimental programs
[10:40] <Flannel> eXistenZ: change the wiki name?
[10:40] <dyrne> unfortunately our bot is alittle simple. we're not allowed to train him and have to rely on ops
[10:40] <Flannel> emet, subopt, and only some programs are backported, at that.
[10:40] <emet> !backport
[10:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about backport - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:40] <subopt> How do i find out what versions are available in Ubuntu w/o installing it? I couldn't find a listing on the web page.

[10:40] <oritemis> maccam94: and what about beryl? it is masked?
[10:40] <DLB|Maximus> phaidros_: i can access internet on my wifi connection (192.168.1.6) but i cant ping pc's on my lan, is there a way i can check the route to make sure its setup right?
[10:40] <lisapc> how can I get ubuntu to use my nivdea 7300?
[10:40] <emet> subopt, to enable backports goto source.list and uncomment them
[10:41] <zt1`> anyone using webmin ?
[10:41] <emet> sources.list
[10:41] <trins> lisapc apt-get install nvidia-glx
[10:41] <maccam94> oritemis, ah, you have to follow a special guide for that depending on your graphics card
[10:41] <atomiku> !nvidia | lisapc
[10:41] <phaidros_> DLB|Maximus, do the PCs also have 192.smehting?
[10:41] <ubotu> lisapc: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[10:41] <krantix> is there a way to configure the behaviour of the trash on ubuntu for the different drives? thanks!
[10:41] <patrialt> trins why you gotta be so smart, finally im almost able to answer a question, and you answer it better :p
[10:41] <maccam94> oritemis, i'd check out www.ubuntuguide.org, that page lists basically everything you need to know to get anything working (just search the page for beryl)
[10:41] <trins> krantix i don't think so
[10:41] <DLB|Maximus> phaidros_: yes, but im seeing something strange when i try to ping
[10:41] <eXistenZ> Flannel, I registered in wiki.ubuntu.com and I want to change my wiki name
[10:42] <Flannel> oritemis, maccam94, ubuntuguide is unsafe.  For beryl, go to #ubuntu-effects and read the topic
[10:42] <tuxxman> hello, i'm trying to use fsck.hfs on my ubuntu ppc livecd, but fsck.hfs is an unknown command
[10:42] <oritemis> maccam94: sure.
[10:42] <tuxxman> how would i install this?
[10:42] <maccam94> Flannel, ah ok
[10:42] <phaidros_> DLB|Maximus, so you use wireless to connect to the pc or the ethernet?
[10:42] <trins> patrialt, LOL :D
[10:42] <krantix> trins, not even the maximum size for all drives?
[10:42] <fannagoganna> hi, wondering if possible to set up LVM2 partitions in Ubuntu installer?
[10:42] <jahid> i have a USB HDD, is it possible to give a user read-write-execute permission on that mounted device?
[10:42] <oritemis> Flannel: Ok, I will take a look.
[10:42] <fannagoganna> on edgy?
[10:42] <oritemis> Flannel: thank you.
[10:42] <subopt> Flannel: How do i find out what versions are available in Ubuntu w/o installing it? I couldn't find a listing on the web page.
[10:42] <Flannel> fannagoganna: yeah.  You need the alternateCD, not the desktop
[10:42] <DLB|Maximus> phaidros_: when i ping from wifi connection (192.168.1.6) it says ping 192.168.1.1 (my router) the it says from 192.168.1.5 destination unreachable, the 192.168.1.5 in my wired lan ip, which isnt in use
[10:43] <mrbrdo> Does ubuntu come with injection patches for madwifi-ng applied?
[10:43] <Flannel> subopt: packages.ubuntu.com has listings (for various repos, including backports)
[10:43] <DLB|Maximus> phaidros_: wireless currently
[10:43] <tuxxman> anybody know>
[10:43] <tuxxman> ?
[10:43] <subopt> Flannel: thanks
[10:43] <emet> what is better then xmms for winampish media player
[10:43] <patrialt> jahid i would probably try gksudo nautilus and go to "properties" on that device and set read/write/execute permissions for your user accnt.
[10:43] <trins> krantix, no
[10:43] <patrialt> that's how i tamper with my file permissions
[10:44] <phaidros_> DLB|Maximus, dialog ..
[10:44] <trins> no way xD
[10:44] <phaidros_> how to set ALT_L and ALT_R correctly? (my right Alt is Mod+5 and doesnt work as Alt-shortcut in Gnome)
[10:44] <phaidros_> ??
[10:44] <krantix> trins, thanks
[10:44] <phaidros_> please someone?
[10:44] <Flannel> jahid, patrialt, you want to give it options when mounting.  chmod/chown won't do it.
[10:44] <unop> krantix,  I dont think so, usually ~/.Trash only maintains a record of what you delete and normally you only have one drive/partition for yourself/homedir so it's basically pointless having your trash work for other partitions/drives or even other users' homedirs
[10:44] <dyrne> tuxxman: anyone answered you yet? apt-get install hfsutils   i thinkg
[10:44] <tuxxman> its installed
[10:44] <dyrne> hrm
[10:44] <MarcM> emet: Beep Media Player is a nice alternative with similar feel
[10:44] <DLB|Maximus> phaidros_: dialog?
[10:45] <patrialt> flannel your explanation is very fuzzy to me, im still new to linux :p
[10:45] <jahid> Flannel,  i tried to user "chmod
[10:45] <phaidros_> DLB, PM window
[10:45] <jahid> Flannel, how can i do that then?
[10:45] <eXistenZ> Flannel, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserPreferences
[10:45] <emet> hmm
[10:45] <emet> I'm installing gnash
[10:45] <emet> :P
[10:45] <emet> !gnash
[10:45] <ubotu> An open source flash replacement.  It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/
[10:45] <phaidros_> what about flash9 ??
[10:45] <tuxxman> why on earth wouldnt a ppc exclusive livecd come with fsck.hfs...doesnt that make sense to have hfs(mac) fs stuff correcly installed?
[10:46] <DLB|Maximus> phaidros_: i pm'd you, did you get it?
[10:46] <krantix> unop, is there a way to disable completely the trash for the ntfs partitions mounted?
[10:46] <Flannel> patrialt, jahid, chmod (changing the permissions) won't do it (and generally chmod/chown is a bad solution anyway, causing problems later on), you want to give it options when mounting, a umask usually
[10:46] <Flannel> phaidros_: flash9 is in backports
[10:46] <phaidros_> DLB|Maximus, yes, but u dont have it in separate window?
[10:46] <phaidros_> Flannel, thx
[10:46] <bTop> hi!
[10:46] <phaidros_> Flannel, but for flash9 plugin i have to remove all the free flash things, right?
[10:46] <mrbrdo> Does ubuntu come with injection patches for madwifi-ng applied?
[10:47] <jahid> Flannel, but when i am connecting the device, its auto mounting
[10:47] <ubuntuclient> hey
[10:47] <phaidros_> mrbrdo, I doubt
[10:47] <ubuntuclient> i have one question
[10:47] <ubuntuclient> i wan to install ubuntu in pen drive
[10:47] <ubuntuclient> !pendrive
[10:47] <bTop> mysql it seems to be installed but I cannot connect> how do I set a root password
[10:47] <Flannel> phaidros_: er, flash9 is a dropin replacement for the regular flash
[10:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pendrive - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:47] <Apollyon_> !hi | bTop
[10:47] <ubotu> bTop: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[10:47] <DLB|Maximus> phaidros_: yes, i have a seperate pm window, if thats what your asking... i just didnt get a reply back from you so i didnt know if you got my pm
[10:47] <Flannel> !lamp | bTop, read this page, it explain it.
[10:47] <ubotu> bTop, read this page, it explain it.: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[10:47] <phaidros_> DLB|Maximus, replying all the time, something broken there .. grrr
[10:47] <unop> krantix, errm, not that i know of .. and ~/.Trash is a folder in /home/<user>/.Trash .. it does not exist independantly for each and every physical drive.. just one per user in their homedir
[10:47] <jahid> and its not necessary that my device will be connected always, so i cant put that on my .bashrc. and when i connect the device, its auto mounting
[10:48] <ubuntuclient> Apollyon man do you know how to install UBuntu in pen drive
[10:48] <ubuntuclient> Attach your USB device to your computer and create a partition (using e.g. cfdisk) large enough to hold the contents of the ISO image plus about 5%. The rest of this discussion assumes that you can address this partition using /dev/sda1.
[10:48] <Meizano> Can anyone aid me with the installation of a usb wifi card using ndiswrapper?
[10:48] <jahid> Flannel, can you give me any better idea?
[10:48] <ubuntuclient> but how
[10:48] <Flannel> jahid: hmm, I'm actually not familiar with the automounting.  I'm sure there's a method though.
[10:48] <ubuntuclient> how much memory i need to leave .
[10:48] <bTop> Flannel, yes. But mySQL wants a root password , Im using the Administrator GUI but I did not set up one..
[10:49] <jahid> Flannel, are you suggesting to, umount the auto mounted device, then again mount manually?
[10:49] <patrialt> poor flannel, he's getting too much chat love :p
[10:49] <ubuntuclient> Create a file system on the partition. ???
[10:49] <ubuntuclient> and what it file system x3 or?
[10:49] <Flannel> bTop: that page explains it all.  No, you don't need to set a root password for linux, just a root password for mysql
[10:49] <ubuntuclient> ext3 or ?
[10:49] <Flannel> jahid: no, that's silly.  I'm sure theres configuration for the automount script
[10:49] <atomiku> Decent linux irc client with nice GUI and scripting?
[10:50] <bTop> yes I know. MySQL wants a root password. I did not set one up? Can I reset the Mysql ???
[10:50] <jahid> Flannel, do you have any idea where can i get that script for auto mounting?
[10:50] <unop> atomiku,  xchat is good
[10:50] <atomiku> i tried that, its crap :P
[10:50] <unop> jahid,  its already available
[10:50] <hossasaur> i'm having a problem building something.  every time i try it says "libstdc++.a no such file or directory" "libstdcxx.so error 1" "all error2"
[10:50] <Flannel> bTop: if you'd take the time and read that page, you'll see that it tells you how to set the mysql root password
[10:50] <hossasaur> what's up with that?
[10:51] <unop> jahid,  just plug your drive in and it'll automount
[10:51] <krantix> unop, i don't know why, but i have a different .Trash folder in every drive... it contains only the files deleted on that particular partition...
[10:51] <patrialt> unop, that is his problem
[10:51] <jahid> unop, my device is auto mounting, but i want to add permission when mounting
[10:51] <bTop> Flannel, Ok.. be back soon :)
[10:51] <unop> krantix,  hmm, something new i have never seen -- what you can do is chmod it so it is read only for that drive then
[10:51] <jahid> unop. so i need to know the location of the script so that i can edit
[10:51] <nalioth> unop: you have a hidden trash folder on all seperate partitions, if you use ANY kde stuff
[10:51] <Apollyon_> ubuntuclient: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=5151
[10:52] <sebrock> sparr, I solved the mmkey problem btw
[10:52] <unop> jahid,  rather than do that, just change permissions for the contents of the drive
[10:52] <unop> nalioth,  right, thats probably what he experiences
[10:52] <Apollyon_> ubuntuclient: http://pendrivelinux.com/2007/01/25/usb-x-ubuntu-610
[10:52] <Flannel> unop, jahid, chmod is NOT the answer.  And unop, changing the permissions for the stuff on the drive is destructive.
[10:52] <jahid> unop, its not possible to change the permission of a mounted device using "chmod/chwon", do you have any other idea?
[10:53] <jahid> Flannel, yes
[10:53] <jahid> but, anyone having a better idea?
[10:53] <emet> how do I get stuff to load when gnome loads

[10:54] <ubuntuclient> Apollyon what is file system
[10:54] <hossasaur> i'm having a problem building something.  every time i try it says "libstdc++.a no such file or directory" "libstdcxx.so error 1" "all error2" what's wrong?

[10:56] <mrpoundsign> So I am trying to install ubuntu on my machine, running a Nvidia 7800 GT -- when the installer launghes, I get a corrupt bar in the middle of the screen, and nothing else.  It also happens right after the welcome sound playes, so that may be related. Running a SigmaTel audio board (built-in)
[10:56] <tuxxman> how do i run fsck on hfs from an ubuntu livecd
[10:56] <emet> Apollyon_, thank you nice stuff
[10:56] <Remorse_> hello
[10:56] <unop> Flannel,  a umask as an option for the mount point?
[10:56] <nalioth> tuxxman: not advised. use your OSX install media > disk utility
[10:56] <tuxxman> didnt work
[10:57] <tuxxman> couldnt recognize the volume
[10:57] <ubuntuclient> Apollyon what mean file system,ext3 ???
[10:57] <tuxxman> but linux can
[10:57] <Flannel> unop: yes, in your fstab, or in your mount options, if mounting manually
[10:57] <mrpoundsign> I have ubuntu running great on my Dell D610 laptop.  This is a Gateway 8400GM, if that helps in any way.
[10:57] <Remorse_> that's a secret
[10:57] <hossasaur> nalioth: nevermind, i didn't have one of the -dev versions
[10:57] <hossasaur> nalioth: thanks
[10:57] <nalioth> tuxxman: sounds like major trouble to me
[10:57] <tuxxman> yea....so how do i run fsck.hfs
[10:57] <unop> Flannel,  ok, fair enough .. that dictates permissions for new files created, etc .. what about existing files on the drive?
[10:57] <nalioth> tuxxman: you mount the hfs volume and run fsck on it
[10:58] <tuxxman> but it tells me fsck.hfs isnt there, which it isnt
[10:58] <tuxxman> but i can mount it
[10:58] <tuxxman> so i dont understand why fsck.hfs wouldnt be installed
[10:58] <Flannel> unop: no no, that dictates how the drive is mounted.  For files on the drive, they have their own permissions
[10:58] <Apollyon_> Remorse_: What is a secret?
[10:58] <emet> ooo I discovered how to make macros in Bash
[10:58] <P4ndaman> hey does beryl GUI come with the latest distribution of ubuntu (6.10)
[10:58] <q_> hi all, i'm using XFCE 4.3.99.1 (Xfce 4.4 BETA2) and when i restarted got this error "Starting without administrative privileges" and i lost the right click mouse button menu and the background image, anybody know why?
[10:58] <ubuntuclient> Apollyon what mean file system,ext3 ?
[10:59] <nalioth> q_: please join #xubuntu
[10:59] <tuxxman> nalioth: do you know why its ont installed / how to install it?
[10:59] <Flannel> P4ndaman: #ubuntu-effects for info on how to enable it
[10:59] <nalioth> tuxxman: i have no clue, either
[10:59] <ubuntuclient> nalioth what mean file system,can it be ext3??????
[10:59] <q_> ok
[10:59] <P4ndaman> thanks flannel
[10:59] <tuxxman> crap
[10:59] <nalioth> ubuntuclient: yes, use ext3
[10:59] <ante_> hello
[11:00] <emet> how do I search for packages from commandline
[11:00] <ubuntuclient> nalioth and do you know,KNoppix
[11:00] <Flannel> emet: apt-cache search [stuff]

[11:00] <Apollyon_> ubuntuclient: man fs
[11:00] <ante_> can somebody tell me how megaupload works with linux
[11:00] <emet> I'm making easy macros to install and search :P
[11:00] <nalioth> ubuntuclient: join #knoppix
[11:00] <ubuntuclient> join
[11:00] <ubuntuclient> ok
[11:01] <bTop> hi mYsql .. is there a getDate() like in sql server

[11:01] <q_> nobody on xubuntu
[11:02] <bTop> Flannel, Thanx
[11:02] <ubuntuclient> Appolyon thanks man i forget the command.
[11:02] <Flannel> Comrade-Sergei: umount is the unmount command
[11:02] <Comrade-Sergei> oh umount ty
[11:02] <Apollyon_> Comrade-Sergei: umount
[11:02] <Flare183> Does anybody know how to switch window managers?
[11:02] <linuxnewbie756> is there some way to "scan" and then remove unused packages?
[11:02] <unop> Flannel, if i read this right, a umask (might vary for filesystem to filesystem) dictates the permissions for all directories and files created anew on a filesystem .. atleast that's my understanding of the option in the manpage .. otherwise the umask for a directory is determined from a per-directory umask or the processes umask
[11:02] <linuxnewbie756> tlike packages that were installed as dependencies, but are no longer needed, so are now just taking up space
[11:03] <kane77> is there any mp3/flac to aple lossles converter?
[11:03] <Comrade-Sergei> is there a way to reformat a ntfs drive to fat32 without losing the data/
[11:03] <Flare183> Does anybody know how to switch window managers?
[11:03] <ubuntuclient> Apollyon in knoppix don't respong
[11:04] <ubuntuclient> Apollyon don't respond
[11:04] <Quintin> livingdaylight_: PONG
[11:04] <nalioth> Comrade-Sergei: if you use a commercial product (like Partition Magic) you may be able to do so, but i'd still back up all your data)
[11:04] <ante_> can somebody tell me how megaupload works with linux, please?
[11:04] <robdeman> hi folks.. how do I manually install a library? (I need to replace a 32 bits libs with a 64 bits one)
[11:04] <nalioth> Flare183: at your login screen, you can choose different sessions
[11:04] <robdeman> just copy the file over the old one?
[11:04] <robdeman> or does it need some kind of registration / install process?
[11:04] <phaidros> how to set ALT_L and ALT_R correctly? (my right Alt is Mod+5 and doesnt work as Alt-shortcut in Gnome)
[11:04] <Quintin> I'm having a problem with a WINE app... it's stuck in my system tray, can't get window to show up.. any idea what to do?
[11:04] <Comrade-Sergei> nailioth ive seen it doen in win 2000 server
[11:04] <unop> robdeman,  no, you install the package containing the library -- simple as that
[11:05] <Flare183> nalioth:> i know that it's just that when i do that compiz is not there
[11:05] <nalioth> Comrade-Sergei: good luck
[11:05] <Quintin> ante_: tell us what that is, and maybe
[11:05] <robdeman> unop: no the package isnt update dyet
[11:05] <ubuntuclient> Apollyon i don't have fs,i only have hfs,jfs,reiserfs,xfs
[11:05] <Comrade-Sergei> um thanks....
[11:05] <robdeman> unop: the maker emailed me that I need to manually update the libs

[11:05] <samalex> hey guys.  no matter what, i still can't get amarok to play MP3's.  It plays OGG fine though.
[11:05] <samalex> any suggestions?
[11:05] <nalioth> Flare183: ahh, you've probably not set up a new entry in /usr/share/xsessions/
[11:05] <unop> robdeman,  are you running 64bit ubuntu?
[11:05] <Quintin> !mp3 samalex
[11:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mp3 samalex - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:05] <robdeman> unop: Yes
[11:05] <Quintin> !mp3 | samalex

[11:06] <Flare183> nalioth:> where would that be in Synaptic or what?
[11:06] <patrialt> nvm, i think im a tool
[11:06] <unop> robdeman,  i'd make backups of the library first tho
[11:06] <Quintin> patrialt: go to the download page and pick 64 bit. ..
[11:06] <robdeman> unop: I did
[11:06] <unop> robdeman,  and yes, thats the way'd go, overwrite the file
[11:06] <nalioth> Flare183: no, you'll have to do it manually.  see your compiz howto
[11:06] <Apollyon_> ubuntuclient: fs stands for file system (all kinds)
[11:06] <patrialt> yea, i just remembered seeing it there quintin lol
[11:06] <linuxnewbie756> is there something i can use to remove uneeded pacakages automatically?
[11:06] <nalioth> Flare183: join #ubuntu-effects for more help
[11:07] <ubuntuclient> Apollyon aha,and what i need to press.

[11:07] <bTop> Flannel,  :: That LAMP page. what was it again please
[11:07] <Quintin> How do I delete all of my WINE settings and start from default?
[11:07] <unop> !lamp
[11:07] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[11:07] <phaidros> Quintin, rm -rf ~/.wine

[11:08] <pppoe_dude> hi. anyone here managed to get a 1280x800 resolution on their consoles?
[11:08] <jahid> unop, not sure, but suppose to be FAT32
[11:08] <Quintin> Ok geniuses, that deletes all of my programs too.
[11:08] <Quintin> I want to delete any settings I might have changed, not drive_c and friends :p
[11:08] <nalioth> pppoe_dude: on console ?
[11:08] <abyss> pppoe_dude, nope but if u find a solution can u tell me ? ^^
[11:08] <Lattyware> Anyone know how to get the Soundmax Superbeam Array Microphone that comes with the Asus P5B Deluxe to work in Ubuntu, because plugging it in straight appears not to.
[11:08] <phaidros> how to use right ALT key (which gives MOD+5) as ALT (like left ALT-key) ??
[11:08] <pppoe_dude> im looking for a tool called vbetest but i can't find it in repos, and apparently lrmi was replaced by vbetool
[11:08] <nalioth> Quintin: you asked a question. you got the answer.
[11:09] <pppoe_dude> nalioth, yes
[11:09] <Quintin> nalioth: No, I didn't.  Learn to read before using irc, kthnx.
[11:09] <unop> jahid,  make sure -- run this command on the device (i use hda in this example) -- fdisk -l /dev/hda
[11:09] <phaidros> Quintin, i answered you a porper answer
[11:09] <phaidros> proper
[11:09] <abyss> pppoe_dude, which kind of laptop ? dell inspiron?
[11:09] <pppoe_dude> nalioth, i managed a stretched 1024x768 on my wide screen, but i'd like to use all my pixels ;)
[11:09] <Quintin> I asked how to delete *settings*.  I don't want to get rid of other things.
[11:09] <pppoe_dude> abyss, nope a gateway but with intel chipset
[11:09] <nalioth> Quintin: please be civil. you got a correct answer.
[11:09] <Comrade-Sergei> !ntfs
[11:09] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse

[11:09] <phaidros> Quintin, ok, .wine is settings for me :)
[11:09] <hehlamers> whats with the ubuntu 5 not setting root password on install?
[11:10] <Quintin> hehlamers: there is no root account
[11:10] <hehlamers> its got me lost, it only asked for a user account
[11:10] <linuxnewbie756> how can i remove uneeded dependencies?
[11:10] <Quintin> !root | hehlamers
[11:10] <ubotu> hehlamers: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[11:10] <hehlamers> huh
[11:10] <phaidros> hehlamers, sudo passwd ;)
[11:10] <hehlamers> hmm
[11:10] <phaidros> (if you really need root)
[11:10] <hehlamers> trippy
[11:10] <Mark17> does xen work correctly on ubuntu?
[11:10] <icicled> does anyone know a fix for large fonts in openoffice? screenshot: http://imagebin.org/7325
[11:10] <hehlamers> thankyou for the help ubotu
[11:10] <Quintin> hehlamers: the first user has unlimited sudo privileges.   if you want root account, sudo su then passwd and enter a password
[11:10] <phaidros> hehlamers, its nice concept, but i lawys fall back to use root ;)
[11:10] <hehlamers> ahh k
[11:11] <nalioth> phaidros: please don't advise that. you'll break things that way
[11:11] <hehlamers> must be a ubuntu invention
[11:11] <Apollyon_> Seveas: Please put in the factoids Pt-Br or Brazilian Portuguese or Portuguese pointing to > #ubuntu-br    :-)
[11:11] <pppoe_dude> i know that my i855gm has a faulty video bios too, which kinda sucks coz i think there is no native 1280x800 resolution (without a patcho f some sort)
[11:11] <nalioth> hehlamers: please don't do that.
[11:11] <hehlamers> cheers for the assistance
[11:11] <phaidros> nalioth, whut? I always use that
[11:11] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, wanna play de ping pong?
[11:11] <nalioth> hehlamers: use sudo for your superuser tasks
[11:11] <ompaul> !works for me
[11:11] <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.
[11:11] <abyss> exists any other good c/cpp ide  as anjuta?
[11:11] <ITS_FOR_REAL> Please could any take step by step howto install flashplayer to OPERA on ubuntu5,1. mozilla ff was np but when trying on Opera:  http://quad.mine.nu/Sk%c3%a4rmdump.png

[11:11] <lisapc> my TV tuner saves HD video. how can I play HD mpg files?   mplayer only plays low defintion ones
[11:11] <Apollyon_> Seveas: better Pt-br
[11:11] <koth> Flannel: I just installed ubunto on hdd, after restart, it get back to XP(on hda) am i missing some step?
[11:11] <phaidros> nalioth, well .. then I'm not of use here ..
[11:12] <GMWeezel> How can I control were volume icons are placed after being mounted?
[11:12] <Apollyon_> Seveas: better Pt-br or pt-br
[11:12] <Quintin> nalioth: I don't see anything breaking from giving root a password
[11:12] <ante_> can somebody tell me how megaupload works with linux, please?
[11:12] <hehlamers> yer root is good
[11:12] <Quintin> GMWeezel: In GNOME?  just right-click > move
[11:12] <phaidros> nalioth, is there an agenda which free support channel people should read and work through?
[11:12] <Quintin> ante_: I asked you already, what is that
[11:12] <hehlamers> feel empty without it :D
[11:12] <ompaul> Quintin, stuff breaks if you do it on certain versions
[11:12] <nalioth> Quintin: ubuntu is set up to use the sudo system.  if you enable a root pass, some things won't respond to it
[11:12] <Quintin> ompaul: I was not aware of this.  examples?
[11:12] <ante_> how do u mean
[11:12] <jahid> unop, it doesn't show my mounted HDD on the list
[11:12] <ompaul> Quintin, single user mode
[11:12] <nalioth> phaidros: wiki.ubuntu.com is a start
[11:12] <GMWeezel> How can I control were the icons are placed after being mounted withotu user interaction e.g. I want Icon X to appear at location (x,y)
[11:12] <Quintin> ante_: What is 'megaupload' ?
[11:12] <doze> anyone knows if dmraid will be supported by default in 7.04 installation?
[11:12] <lisapc> nalioth any ideas?
[11:12] <phaidros> ompaul, same as quintin here
[11:13] <pppoe_dude> any ides on how to list the available framebuffer modes in edgy?
[11:13] <nalioth> lisapc: recompile mplayer for HD ?
[11:13] <Quintin> doze: the alternate install disc will let you configure software raid
[11:13] <phaidros> nalioth, well, than i should not waste time here, I'm just ansering questions and never get answers anyway ..
[11:13] <Apollyon_> unop: : Please put in the factoids Pt-Br or pt-br or Brazilian Portuguese or Portuguese pointing to > #ubuntu-br    :-)
[11:13] <doze> ok, thx
[11:13] <ompaul> phaidros, so what I said
[11:13] <ante_> megaupload is the same thing like rapidshare or sendspace, server for uploading files
[11:13] <unop> nalioth,  ehh .. sudo has no bearing on the enabling of the root account -- sudo authenticates you according to your credentials not roots
[11:13] <phaidros> nalioth, I second unop
[11:14] <nalioth> phaidros: i am not running a standard ubuntu by any definition, but i provide answers that work on any Ubuntu install
[11:14] <lisapc> nalioth i cAn recomplie mplayer for HD mpg files?
[11:14] <ompaul> unop, the setting of root causes stuff to break
[11:14] <unop> ompaul,  like what?
[11:14] <ITS_FOR_REAL> Please could any take step by step howto install flashplayer to OPERA on ubuntu5,1. mozilla ff was np but when trying on Opera:  http://quad.mine.nu/Sk%c3%a4rmdump.png
[11:14] <ompaul> unop, single user mode
[11:14] <ompaul> !root
[11:14] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[11:14] <unop> ompaul,  well, if you set the root password, you use the same in single user mode, dont you?
[11:14] <nalioth> phaidros: unop: that's all nice, please give Ubuntu answers so you don't lead to (apparent) breakage on new users machines
[11:14] <Quintin> ITS_FOR_REAL: slow down a little, please
[11:14] <phaidros> nalioth, if someone asks for root, then - ok first is to describe sudo concept, after that sudo passwd is a hint for everybody who wants it ..
[11:14] <koth> i have problem after installing ubunto, it still boot into windows. I have install ubuntu on a different harddisk
[11:14] <ompaul> unop, now forget that password - and you are stuffed
[11:15] <ITS_FOR_REAL> Quintin, sorru feels like im being ignored :P
[11:15] <Apollyon_> unop: Sorry to disturb you. But, please put in the factoids Pt-Br or pt-br or Brazilian Portuguese or Portuguese pointing to > #ubuntu-br    :-)
[11:15] <pppoe_dude> ah i think hwinfo might do it
[11:15] <phaidros> ompaul, why should i forget my root password?
[11:15] <Quintin> koth: You need to install GRUB on the master boot record of the hard disk that you are booting from
[11:15] <Lattyware> Anyone know how to get the Soundmax Superbeam Array Microphone that comes with the Asus P5B Deluxe to work in Ubuntu, because plugging it in straight appears not to.
[11:15] <nalioth> phaidros: please don't advise that. advise sudo -i instead
[11:15] <Quintin> ITS_FOR_REAL: you're not, trust me.  but ask maybe every 3 min instead of every 30 s
[11:15] <ompaul> phaidros, cos you got a bang on the head who knows - bottom line leave out advising it here
[11:15] <koth> Quintin: GRUB, is there any doc or HowTo?
[11:15] <patrialt> would someone care to give me a link of a well kept linux game database? :p
[11:16] <PwcrLinux> !grub

[11:16] <Quintin> koth: a bajillion.  Please describe for me your physical disk layout and partition layout on those disks
[11:16] <unop> ompaul,  thats an entirely different issue -- and it's possible to recover the root password
[11:16] <koth> thank you PwrLinux
[11:16] <Se22> hello, why always i have a bad music quality?
[11:16] <Quintin> Se22: your soundcard sucks?
[11:16] <Se22> nope
[11:16] <unop> nalioth,  i dont usually recommend enabling root -- i was just disagreeing with you there
[11:16] <nato> how can i install k3b
[11:16] <phaidros> well if its the ubuntu way ..
[11:16] <Quintin> nato: 'apt-get install k3b'
[11:17] <phaidros> nato, apt-get install k3b
[11:17] <Se22> after i installed xmms the sound quality is very bad..
[11:17] <Quintin> Se22: Play with your sound output settings.
[11:17] <Se22> i don't know what's wrong
[11:17] <Quintin> Se22: What soundcard do you have?
[11:17] <phaidros> Se22, check maybe xmms EQ

[11:17] <ompaul> unop, however - we don't suggest it here - that is the main point, what people do in the privacy of their own command line is their business - but it is unfair on a new user to do things non standard on them
[11:18] <unop> Apollyon_,  do you think i am an op here? coz if so, i am not :)
[11:18] <ompaul> unop, then your job in irc increases in difficulty

[11:19] <ompaul> Apollyon_, ask your quesiton in the channel and enjoy the answer
[11:19] <robdeman> folks
[11:19] <emet> but gtk+ based
[11:19] <unop> ompaul,  I agree .. like i said, i dont recommend anyone enable root, you dont need to -- i'm just disagreeing with you on the issue of things breaking and so far you havent told me of one real downside to enabling root
[11:19] <robdeman> where do I pyut 64bit libs
[11:19] <Quintin> Is that kernel update that was broken fixed yet?
[11:19] <phaidros> so anybody can help with Gnome shortcuts: I want to have right ALT (keycode 113) the same as left ALT (keycode 64), but even with keycode 113 = Alt_R Meta_R in .Xmodmap pressing right ALT results in Mod+5
[11:19] <pppoe_dude> emet, anjuta?
[11:19] <robdeman> can I just put then in /user/local/lib64 ??
[11:19] <nalioth> unop: join me in #ubuntu-classroom please
[11:19] <pppoe_dude> emet, dunno if it's great, but it works
[11:19] <ompaul> unop, we have seen it here - in the past more than recently so we learnt a valuable lesson we teach only one way
[11:19] <shiv> Is it possible to install shockwave player in linux?

[11:19] <pppoe_dude> emet, also, kdevelop has gtk+ modules for its IDE
[11:20] <Quintin> robdeman: put it somewhere where your application will find it.  check your app with "ldd" program.
[11:20] <nalioth> shiv: unforuntately not
[11:20] <emet> ok
[11:20] <robdeman> ldd
[11:20] <robdeman> ok
[11:20] <fluxd> Hi I have a gfxboot question? Do i need to uninstall grub for it to work?
[11:20] <Quintin> shiv: With a lot of pain, yes.  I'd just not use it.
[11:20] <shiv> nalioth, thats okay thanks. I can live with that
[11:20] <shiv> Quintin, do you know a place that has the how to, I would like to see it though
[11:21] <Apollyon_> ompaul: : Sorry to disturb you. But, please put in the factoids Pt-Br or pt-br or Brazilian Portuguese or Portuguese pointing to > #ubuntu-br    :-)
[11:21] <jahid> how can i list my usb devices?

[11:21] <jahid> i mean, how can i know all my USB connected devices?
[11:21] <ompaul> !br
[11:21] <Apollyon_> ompaul: it is obrigado and not obrigada :-)

[11:22] <ompaul> k
[11:22] <Quintin> shiv: 'wine ubuntu shockwave' and you'll probably find it
[11:22] <shiv> Quintin, lol

[11:22] <Trunkz> Hey folks, I installed fglrx, but I'm still getting mesa when I do fglrxinfo =/
[11:22] <shiv> Quintin, I am not interested with wine, thanks
[11:23] <Quintin> shiv: That's how it is done.  You have any other plans for running a win32 application in linux?
[11:23] <GMWeezel> Is Beryl an alternative for X Windows or an add-on?
[11:23] <Quintin> Trunkz: lsmod | grep fglrx
[11:23] <ompaul> Apollyon_, done
[11:23] <Apollyon_> ompaul: Obrigado is for man and obrigada is for women. Since ubotu is "man", so the right way is "obrigado" :-)
[11:23] <Quintin> GMWeezel: Beryl is a window manager.  It's totally *not* X.  apples and oranges
[11:23] <shiv> Quintin, no its a website I have a kid who plays on www.learningplanet.com
[11:23] <Trunkz> fglrx                 534616  0

[11:23] <Trunkz> Quintin: does that help?
[11:23] <Apollyon_> !pt
[11:23] <ubotu> pt is Por favor use #ubuntu-br  ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigado.
[11:23] <Quintin> shiv: wine is all you can do for shockwave, I'm sorry.  that or setup a virtual machine with windows 98 or such
[11:24] <GMWeezel> Quintin: not really the answer I'm looking for; is beryl an alternative or an add on?
[11:24] <Quintin> Trunkz: paste your xorg.conf for me please.   on a paster
[11:24] <numa> GMWeezel:  window manager, in some ways it's an add-on, in that you can use X without, but X without a window manager, is sorta boring (i know I know, remote X etc.)
[11:24] <ompaul> Apollyon_, so there is !br and there is !pt it does not repeat the same clue rapidly
[11:24] <Shaffox> I rebooted my computer in a bad way (by pressing the powerbutton on my tower) and now i have a bigger resolution, how can i change this? system>preferences>resolution doesn't help, 'cause it only has this and something lower, but i want a higer resolution.  How can i fix this ?

[11:25] <Quintin> torbit: where is grub?  where is /boot ?
[11:25] <GMWeezel> Quintin: I read what you said; didn't really answer my question.
[11:25] <Apollyon_> ompaul: What is np?

[11:25] <Yodude> hey is Banshee 0.11.6 available in anyt way for ubuntu Edgy? i really want it i hate version 0.11.1
[11:25] <Trunkz> Quintin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6281/
[11:25] <torbit> booted off the live cd, ran the grub-install on the main ide drive, it installed, also pointed it toward my mounted ubuntu install for the root directory, everything seemed to work until I rebooted, same error
[11:25] <Trunkz> :)
[11:25] <ompaul> Apollyon_, no problem
[11:25] <numa> torbit:  what's your boot drive?  where did you put grub?
[11:25] <Apollyon_> ompaul: Ok.
[11:25] <Trunkz> there seems to be two "devices" section for some reason
[11:25] <Quintin> Trunkz: what card
[11:26] <Trunkz> 9800Pro / XT
[11:26] <Trunkz> (Radeon 9800Pro flashed with the 9800XT firmware ;p)
[11:26] <pppoe_dude> who asked me to let them know if i get 1280x800 working on console?
[11:26] <Quintin> Trunkz: line # 131 in your file.  s/vesa/fglrx , then restart x with ctrl + alt + backspace
[11:26] <torbit> Quintin, grub is installed to /dev/hda, my main ide drive, my ubuntu partition is on /dev/sda2 , my sata drive
[11:26] <Quintin> torbit: where is /boot ?
[11:27] <Polysics> hi all
[11:27] <torbit> on the ubuntu partition?
[11:27] <Polysics> anyone knows if ruby 1.8.5 has finally been packaged?
[11:27] <bulmer> torbit: which is ?
[11:27] <numa> torbit:  /boot in your situation can't be under the / mount
[11:27] <Trunkz> Quintin: I dont understand
[11:27] <pppoe_dude> coz i did, and it's awesome. just: apt-get install hwinfo; sudo hwinfo --framebuffer|grep1280; add that mode (0xXXX) to the boot line as vga=0xXXX
[11:27] <Quintin> torbit: you have to be more exact
[11:27] <Trunkz> there are two devices sections.. I'm pretty sure there's something wrong there
[11:27] <ompaul> !ruby | Polysics
[11:27] <ubotu> polysics: ruby: An interpreter of object-oriented scripting language Ruby. In component main, is optional. Version 1.8.2-1 (edgy), package size 18 kB, installed size 96 kB
[11:28] <logankoester> Can anyone tell me what the "proposed" repo is for?
[11:28] <Quintin> Trunkz: ??? edit your xorg.conf .. sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf   replace "vesa" with "fglrx".  then restart X.  I already gave you the line number
[11:28] <ompaul> Polysics, that is the latest stable
[11:28] <Yodude> can someone tell me whee to get banshee 0.11.6 for edge?
[11:28] <ameinke> pppoe_dude: not 1280x800, 1280x1024!!
[11:28] <torbit> Quintin, /boot is on /dev/sda2, main ubuntu partition, i'm (trying) to boot off of /dev/hda
[11:28] <Trunkz> Quintin: okey..
[11:28] <vladuz976> hi, anybody know how I can open eps created by illustrator on linux?
[11:28] <vladuz976> or psd files?
[11:28] <Quintin> torbit: what is the GRUB error code?
[11:28] <pppoe_dude> ameinke, also follow those instructions and you can do it for that too
[11:28] <Quintin> vladuz976: GIMP.  apt-get install gimp
[11:28] <numa> vladuz976:  gimp
[11:28] <Quintin> vladuz976: actually, it's installed by default.
[11:29] <torbit> sorry, disconnected
[11:29] <vladuz976> numa: Quintin gimp doesn't let me open them
[11:29] <mvfeinstein> Can anyone here tell me if there is a way that I can connect to a Win 2k3 VPN?
[11:29] <Polysics> ompaul, so apt-get dist-upgrade should get me ruby 1.8.5 amongst other thingies?
[11:29] <Quintin> mvfeinstein: maybe with a VPN client..
[11:29] <torbit> am I going to need another linux partition on /dev/hda, just for grub?
[11:29] <torbit> XP is currently taking up the whole drive
[11:29] <ompaul> Polysics, that was .2 in edgy
[11:29] <Quintin> torbit: GRUB is on the MBR.
[11:29] <bunta> okey.. back
[11:29] <mvfeinstein> Quintin are there any GUI VPN clients that you can recommend?
[11:29] <Flare183> does anybody know how to make a xsession file?
[11:29] <ameinke> pppoe_dude: i know how to change the resolution on the console, but there are only 3 or 4 modes for standard framebuffer
[11:29] <OuZo> hi all, i want to help a friend set up his Ubuntu remotely, what program can i use? he can connect to the internet & i know his IP
[11:29] <torbit> Quintin, I know..I meant for a /boot directory
[11:29] <Shaffox> I rebooted my computer in a bad way (by pressing the powerbutton on my tower) and now i have a bigger resolution, how can i change this? system>preferences>resolution doesn't help, 'cause it only has this and something lower, but i want a higer resolution.  How can i fix this ?
[11:30] <Quintin> mvfeinstein: no, sorry
[11:30] <vladuz976> numa: Quintin do i need a plug in to open that in gimp?
[11:30] <bunta> Quintin: no luck.. fglrxinfo still says mesa
[11:30] <pppoe_dude> ameinke, not with mine
[11:30] <numa> vladuz976:  nope
[11:30] <Quintin> bunta: uhm.. you the ati 9800 guy?
[11:30] <bunta> Quitin: thats right
[11:30] <bunta> quintin*
[11:30] <ameinke> pppoe_dude: ok i check ;)
[11:30] <ompaul> torbit, no, a dual install will work wherever you point it, the grub entry usually goes on the start of the first hard drive on the machine so you can boot whatever you want
[11:30] <Quintin> torbit: What SATA card?
[11:30] <vladuz976> numa: but that's the error i get when i try to open them
[11:30] <pppoe_dude> ameinke, did you try hwinfo --framebuffer? there should be all the supported native resolutions
[11:30] <jwhitlark> mvfeinstein: if you're using openvpn, network manager can control VPN connections with a little setup.
[11:30] <Flare183> does anybody know how to make a xsession file?
[11:30] <Apollyon_> Shaffox: dkpg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[11:31] <Steil> Beryl isn't drawing window borders, I have it set to use emerald but i still don't get any borders...tried "emerald --replace" no go.
[11:31] <Quintin> torbit: and what is the GRUB error code ??
[11:31] <pppoe_dude> Flare183, xauth?
[11:31] <numa> vladuz976: hrm  exact error?
[11:31] <ameinke> pppoe_dude: wait
[11:31] <torbit> Quintin, can't remember off the top of my head, but I went through a huge ordeal trying to be able to boot from it, with no luck at all
[11:31] <Quintin> Steil: /join #beryl
[11:31] <jwhitlark> mvfeinstein: I think it also works with cisco VPN, (it's a plug in setup)
[11:31] <Flare183> pppoe_dude:>ok i'll try
[11:31] <Quintin> torbit: error code, please
[11:31] <vladuz976> numa: Opening

[11:32] <nalioth> phaidros: tried #xorg ?
[11:32] <jwhitlark> Steil: use the emerald theme manager to select a theme, then try rebooting.
[11:32] <Polysics> how do i know what the latest version of a package in teh repos is, without having an ubuntu machine up? what's the repo's address, pls?
[11:32] <torbit> Quintin, ok, sec, need to go back to that system
[11:32] <Quintin> #XXX  ?
[11:32] <bunta> Quintin: yep, i'm the 9800 guy
[11:32] <pppoe_dude> Flare183, although unsure if thats what you're looking for
[11:32] <phaidros> nalioth, thx

[11:44] <seamus7> What log files would be useful to look at if my computer is freezing on boot up now and then? It is likely due to a video configuration problem.

[11:51] <Quintin> Trunkz: apt
[11:51] <vladuz976> Quintin: my problem with archlinux is that it just takes too much time to set everything up the way i want it. otherwise it's a fine distro
[11:51] <Trunkz> Quintin: quote the .deb file or the file name o.o
[11:52] <Yodude> is there any way i can reconfigure my sources list to default?
[11:52] <Apollyon_> nickreynolds: sudo apt-get install openssh-client
[11:52] <nickreynolds> an if i do that install i will be able to remot into my server using putty
[11:52] <Quintin> Trunkz: hm?  dunno.  I'd search for it with grep or synaptic
[11:52] <nickreynolds> thats all i need to do
[11:52] <nickreynolds> ?
[11:52] <Quintin> vladuz976: all linux is like that, really.  'cept maybe SuSE or something else proprietary
[11:52] <ompaul> nickreynolds, if you are on the same network yes
[11:52] <Trunkz> kk :p
[11:52] <Se23> i discovered if the volume in totem is on maximum then the sound quality of track is bad, i want to know if this is bug

[11:52] <headphase> never mind, I found out
[11:52] <Se23> and this is in all media players not only totem
[11:52] <nickreynolds> thank you, also when i'm in command prompt why am i unable to login as root
[11:53] <Quintin> !root | nickreynolds
[11:53] <ubotu> nickreynolds: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[11:53] <Trunkz> aite.. removin =X
[11:53] <nickreynolds> i see, i'm just use to typing in root at login then my pass
[11:53] <Quintin> nickreynolds: that's not gonna fly around here, Mister.
[11:53] <nickreynolds> lol
[11:54] <Quintin> nickreynolds: sudo su > passwd if you want to give root a password
[11:54] <crazy_penguin> Good night!
[11:54] <nickreynolds> its wierd how the only user i have setup isn't actually root but its password is
[11:54] <Flare183> ok i'm screwed
[11:54] <Flare183> i still don't get it!
[11:55] <Apollyon_> nickreynolds: are you coming from debian?
[11:55] <Flare183> I don't know what to do I can't make compiz work
[11:55] <Trunkz> Quintin: Why.. do I have two "devices" in my xorg.conf, shudnt there be just one? :o
[11:55] <Quintin> Trunkz: eating,

[11:56] <Quintin> Trunkz: link me your xorg.conf file again please
[11:56] <Trunkz> okeh
[11:57] <Apollyon_> nickreynolds: I felt that when I came to know ubuntu. But, in fact, sudo is very safe believe us :-)
[11:57] <Trunkz> Quintin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6281/
[11:57] <Trunkz> =X
[11:57] <nickreynolds> since ubuntu uses the debian core then that means apache, python, php, and sql are all preinstalled correct
[11:57] <Trunkz> nickreynolds: Providing you dont have some odd hardware.. ubuntu will be a nice thing =p
[11:57] <bulmer> is there a configuration do Disable storing pictures viewed in .thumbnails ?
[11:58] <Quintin> nickreynolds: no, incorrect.  none of those are in debian base either
[11:58] <Trunkz> nickreynolds: uh.. you can easily install those using apt-get =P
[11:58] <Trunkz> nickreynolds: such as typing.. sudo apt-get install mysql-server will sort u out ur sql server ;)
[11:58] <Apollyon_> nickreynolds: Yea. This is a "window$ desease" - not to use cli's :-)
[11:58] <Trunkz> nickreynolds: I was having a look around a while back, on some sort of a LAMP setup on ubuntu.. maybe someone can clariffy this for you as well ;p
[11:59] <Quintin> Trunkz: how many video cards do you have in the box?
[11:59] <Trunkz> One
[11:59] <Trunkz> Quintin: One, hence.. my worry xD
[11:59] <PwcrLinux> Hello, I wondered does the linux would works on my gf's mac lappy?
[11:59] <torbit> Quintin: update, put the card in another computer, still not any sort of bios message coming up for it, looked through all the options..it has a VIA VT6421A chipset
[11:59] <Quintin> Trunkz: how many video outputs?
[11:59] <Quintin> torbit: ok, I'll try to get with you in a minute
[11:59] <torbit> the sata card I mean
[11:59] <Trunkz> Quintin: VGA & DVI.. I guess
[11:59] <jamie_> Can any one help me. I am trying to install an older kernel on ltsp as the latest one on edgy does not seem to support the sound balster module on the sff very well. How do I do this please?
[11:59] <kaje1> I'm using Firestarter, but it seems to only be able to configure one network device as my internet connected device... However I have two network devices that may be connected at any given time..
[11:59] <pppoe_dude> i have 2 rows missing from my tty... the tty is just no using them, as if the size is wrong. ROWS is set to 48, how can i change the number of rows? stty didn't help me much
[11:59] <Quintin> Trunkz: which are you using?
[11:59] <Trunkz> VGA
[11:59] <torbit> Quintin: no prob, I can see you're helping a lot of people :P
[11:59] <Trunkz> I'm too cheap to get a TFT monitor xD
[11:59] <kaje1> is there a way I can get it to handle both devices?
[12:00] <Trunkz> I've been using Ubuntu for.. just over 5hrs
[12:00] <Trunkz> and I've learnt a fair share of information =X
[12:00] <bulmer> kaje1: i dont know how to use those front ends, but if you can get hold of its configuration files and know iptables..you can then do it manually
[12:00] <Apollyon_> !lamp | nickreynolds
[12:00] <ubotu> nickreynolds: 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+)
[12:00] <Quintin> Trunkz: Leave xorg.conf as it is for now, install the .run without making debs, then use dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to generate a new one is what I would do.
[12:00] <cephalon> I love lamp
[12:00] <abyss> how i can config vim to make only 4 spaces tabs ?
[12:00] <IndyGunFreak> Trunkz: |Ubuntu is oneof hte easier distros to pick up and learn
