[12:01] <soundray> __doc__: what's messed?
[12:01] <larson9999> thinking about getting a laptop with an intel 950 graphics card.  does it support linux or vice versa for 3d?
[12:01] <__doc__> soundray: http://rafb.net/p/WLxmPg89.html
[12:01] <unop> SuperTeece,  about the onboard one, make sure the BIOS has it enabled and if there's a button to turn it on , depress it -- does lspci list it?
[12:01] <th1> is there a way to tell firefox to open folders with KDE file manager instead of the Gnome one?
[12:01] <SuperTeece> unop: restarted successfully but still nothing
[12:01] <shatrat> larson9999, the intel chipsets are pretty well supported by open source drivers.
[12:02] <__doc__> soundray: whenever I now engage apt, aptitude or dpkg I'm greeted with a line of errors relating to that
[12:02] <SuperTeece> unop: yes it is enabled, the onboard's light is on, and lspci does list it
[12:02] <ChaosEddie> th1: im pretty sure there is
[12:02] <ChaosEddie> hold on
[12:02] <speedwolf> *sigh*
[12:02] <dm_> does anybody update feisty today? I have an issue with keyboard layout applet (gnome)
[12:02] <larson9999> shatrat: so 3d should work at least as well as ati?

[12:02] <quaal> unop, i located someone else's source.list.. this section seems to be the same repository as mine http://pastebin.ca/362613
[12:02] <shatrat> larson9999, if you plan to do a lot of gaming or something you might try and get a beefier nvidia card, they dont have open source drivers but the closed source ones from nvidia are pretty good.  Just steer clear of ATI and Savage imo.
[12:03] <quaal> unop, just run that wget command ?
[12:03] <__doc__> soundray: so any clue?
[12:03] <unop> SuperTeece,  i'm not too familiar with pcmcia on linux -- there's probably something you have to do to get it running, a command perhaps
[12:03] <roostishaw> how can i run something from the terminal and then close the terminal and have it keep running?
[12:03] <shatrat> larson9999, everything has at least as good support as ati
[12:03] <shatrat> larson9999, newer ati cards anyway, some older ones are wellsupported
[12:03] <SuperTeece> unop: I was thinking the same until I followed the steps in the forums for my onboard broadcom and had the same results
[12:03] <mastermixer> roostishaw, why don't you run it outside the terminal? by pressing alt+f2 for instance
[12:03] <soundray> __doc__: do you want this scons package?
[12:04] <unop> quaal,  the first command suffices -  gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv 2D6CFB44DD800CD9|gpg --export -a 2D6CFB44DD800CD9|sudo apt-key add -
[12:04] <__doc__> soundray: I can live without
[12:04] <roostishaw> mastermixer, right
[12:04] <cypherdelic> soundray: i still get GRUB loading, please wait... Error 22
[12:04] <quaal> unop, thanks much
[12:04] <larson9999> shatrat: oh, i'm trailing edge when it comes to gaming.  i get nvidia unless someone gives me a card.  but this laptop i'm looking at has the intel chip and i have no experience with it in linux.  so i was curious if they played nice with linux.
[12:04] <adaptr> cypherdelic: it's not finding the grub partition
[12:04] <soundray> __doc__: have you got the pycentral package installed?
[12:04] <ChaosEddie> hmm not finding anything
[12:04] <unop> SuperTeece,  errm, regarding the onboard, have you installed drivers for it, etc?
[12:04] <YoussefAssad> hello. Is anyone here on the ubuntu livecd?
[12:05] <SuperTeece> unop: yes
[12:05] <roostishaw> mastermixer, that shortcut dont work
[12:05] <adaptr> only once, with any luck
[12:05] <soundray> __doc__: sorry, I mean python-central
[12:05] <SuperTeece> unop: I'm going to try reinstalling ndiswraper
[12:05] <unop> SuperTeece,  does  ifconfig have anything to say about the interface ?? ifconfig -a
[12:05] <shatrat> larson9999, intel puts a lot of work into open source actually.  Their driver works with AIGLX as well so not only does it do openGL but it can also do composite desktops like beryl and compiz.  The only shortcoming with intel is they just arent as beefy hardware wise as the nvidia cards.
[12:05] <SuperTeece> unop: I'll ba back either way
[12:05] <cypherdelic> adapt: boot is definetly on /dev/sda3
[12:05] <unop> SuperTeece,  wait wait
[12:05] <ChaosEddie> YoussefAssad: yes
[12:05] <__doc__> soundray: yes it is installed
[12:05] <mastermixer> roostishaw, aren't you using ubuntu 6.10?
[12:06] <SuperTeece> unop: ok
[12:06] <unop> SuperTeece,  find out whats wrong with your interfaces before reinstalling (and this isnt windows)
[12:06] <adaptr> cypherdelic: that's irrelevant - it's what grub sees when you boot from the HD that counts, and it often sees it differently than when booting from CD
[12:06] <Conman1303> can anyone explain how to extend my monitor to my tv to play movies using s video with an ati radeon card?
[12:06] <SuperTeece> unop: ifconfig -a just shows my ethernet card and the lo
[12:06] <soundray> __doc__: you could force a success of the postinst script. That would let you remove the package.
[12:06] <shatrat> larson9999, heres a comparison of the open source driver vs a low end PCI-E ati card larson9999 http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=646&num=1
[12:06] <larson9999> alright shatrat, i'll take your word and get it.  power wise the chip is plenty
[12:06] <adaptr> SuperTeece: wehat does lspci show for the card ? is the module loaded ?
[12:06] <cypherdelic> adaptr, so, any ideas?
[12:06] <ChaosEddie> YoussefAssad: how can i help you?
[12:06] <__doc__> soundray: hm, is that in the man to aptitude?
[12:07] <SuperTeece> adaptr: 0000:07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Airgo Networks Inc: Unknown device 0001 (rev 01)
[12:07] <adaptr> cypherdelic: best bet is to boot the livecd and examine grub.conf/menu.lst
[12:07] <mahound> hey
[12:07] <edolo> i've just installed ubuntu. i haven't found any browser
[12:07] <mahound> how do i change my screen resolution?
[12:07] <unop> SuperTeece,  ok, examine these two files for any clues/mention of your cards -- tail -n 50 /var/log/{dmesg,messages}
[12:07] <soundray> __doc__: no, it's a whacky hack. Edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/scons.postinst and insert 'exit  0' as the second line. Then run sudo apt-get -f install
[12:07] <YoussefAssad> ChaosEddie: If you're on the live disc, I'd just like to know if you have a program called install-mbr in your path (don't run it, just check if you can)
[12:07] <korey> edolo, you can't find a web browser in Ubuntu?
[12:07] <roostishaw> mastermixer, yes. but i have a macbook, so they keymap is different.
[12:07] <mastermixer> mahound, check System > Preferences
[12:07] <adaptr> cypherdelic: if it mentions hd1 or some such, and you know it boots as hd0, then you need to change them around, and re-install grub on the MBR with the correct partition for it
[12:07] <SuperTeece> adaptr: and for the second card 0000:06:04.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g]  802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
[12:07] <mahound> master_of_master, the "screen resolution" menu only shows a possible resolution
[12:07] <roostishaw> mastermixer, any other way?
[12:07] <shatrat> edolo, firefox is installed by default, it should be under applications
[12:07] <mahound> mastermixer, , the "screen resolution" menu only shows a possible resolution
[12:07] <ChaosEddie> where is the path?
[12:08] <adaptr> SuperTeece: second card ? you have two and neither show up ?
[12:08] <korey> wow, this chat is busy
[12:08] <shatrat> korey, usually ~1000 people here
[12:08] <edolo> shatrat, it isn't
[12:08] <YoussefAssad> ChaosEddie: if you type install-m and then hit tab, if you hve it it should tab-complete. You might have to hit tab twice
[12:08] <soundray> mahound: sounds like you have made progress after all. Did you get a different computer?
[12:08] <adaptr> mahound: actually, the screen resolution box shows every *configured* resolution
[12:08] <mastermixer> mahound, you have to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf --> set the frequencies your monitor can handle, and you'll have more frequencies options in that menu
[12:08] <YoussefAssad> ChaosEddie: this in a command line. A terminal
[12:08] <adaptr> mahound: and in that sense, for you at that moment, the only possible resolutions
[12:08] <shatrat> edolo, well, if its not under Applications -> Internet then you could install it I suppose.  Open an terminal and run "sudo apt-get install firefox"
[12:09] <ChaosEddie> where is the command line?
[12:09] <mastermixer> roostishaw, i don't know of any other way to bring up the "Run Application" dialog box
[12:09] <YoussefAssad> ChaosEddie: Gnome terminal
[12:09] <mastermixer> maybe someone in here know of a way to do it
[12:09] <soundray> mahound: slightly easier than mastermixer's suggestion: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' and tick the resolutions you are going to use.
[12:09] <shatrat> ChaosEddie, terminal is under Applications Accessories.  Just drag it onto the panel, its more convenient if you use it a lot
[12:09] <roostishaw> ok
[12:09] <mahound> soundray, no, i deleted the ntfs partition
[12:09] <mahound> cool
[12:09] <roostishaw> mastermixer, ok... thanks anyway
[12:09] <ChaosEddie> so it IS terminal?
[12:09] <SuperTeece> adaptr: correct
[12:09] <__doc__> soundray: it's a whacky hack yeah but it works.
[12:09] <shatrat> ChaosEddie, well, its a shell.
[12:09] <soundray> mahound: on all the other questions, just accept the default
[12:10] <ChaosEddie> ... can you just tell me what to type?
[12:10] <soundray> __doc__: :)
[12:10] <SuperTeece> unop: the only thing sticking out to be is it says ndiswrapper 1.37 installed
[12:10] <shatrat> ChaosEddie, sure, type "fortune" and hit enter
[12:10] <__doc__> soundray: so bascially if a package screws up in postinst or prerm of dpkg you're in trouble you need to apply a small dose of voodoo to get out of
[12:10] <cypherdelic> adaptr, so i need to change root (hd0,x) due i think its a partition numbering failure and then update-grub and try??
[12:10] <adaptr> SuperTeece: so are there any modules loaded ?
[12:10] <OuZo_> were can i send crash reports?
[12:10] <mastermixer> soundray, i'm still command line addict, thanks for a better explanation to  mahound
[12:10] <YoussefAssad> ChaosEddie: the command I'm looking for isn't the safest one, so maybe you'd better sit this one out :)
[12:10] <ChaosEddie> uh it told me my goose was cooked and my current chick is burning up too!
[12:10] <GrimSleeper> Hmm I can't do much, somehow I can't run things as user root? Help
[12:10] <SuperTeece> adapter: you'll have to break that down for me, heh
[12:10] <adaptr> cypherdelic: update-huh ? no, you need to first *verify* what it is set to now, and redirect it to the correct one - are there populated IDE channels on your system ?
[12:10] <unop> SuperTeece,  have you loaded the ndiswrapper module?
[12:11] <ChaosEddie> YoussefAssad: nah its cool
[12:11] <Dextorion> Anyone have a substitute for Picasa2 ?   Or would that be the better picture organizer app?
[12:11] <adaptr> SuperTeece: lsmod, pastebin the output
[12:11] <SuperTeece> unop: I don't know, elaborate please?
[12:11] <th1> ChaosEddie, any luck? I found out how to replace the "Save" dialog, but not the "Open containing folder" one
[12:11] <soundray> __doc__: yes. The problem is, some packages may not work if the postinst script has failed, so if you have forced something like that, you should really remove the package and report a bug
[12:11] <jrib> Dextorion: have you tried f-spot?
[12:11] <cypherdelic> adaptr, so, where to verify, or how, and what, where to fix?
[12:11] <mastermixer> Dextorion, F-Spot ?
[12:11] <mindstate> how can i remove entries into my Applications menu in gnome?
[12:11] <ChaosEddie> th1: nah i couldnt figure it out
[12:11] <shatrat> mindstate, right click on it and you can edit the menu
[12:11] <SuperTeece> adaptr: it's huge you want it all or should I look for something specific?
[12:11] <Dextorion> :)  Thank you jrib  and mastermixer.   So you guys think F-Spot is better then Picasa?  Or just an alternetive?
[12:11] <adaptr> cypherdelic: boot livecd, run grub, enter "root (hd" and press TAB key
[12:11] <mindstate> shatrat: i dont want to just hide stuff.i want to permantely delete
[12:12] <jrib> Dextorion: never used picasa so can't say
[12:12] <adaptr> SuperTeece: paste it
[12:12] <__doc__> soundray: when you search for the exception to this you find it all over the place, it seems to be a widespread problem with dpkg
[12:12] <Dextorion> jrib: Okay, thank you.
[12:12] <adaptr> !pastebin | SuperTeece
[12:12] <ubotu> SuperTeece: 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)
[12:12] <shatrat> mindstate, isnt there a Remove button?
[12:12] <mastermixer> Dextorion, never used Picasa, but i like F-Spot's features
[12:12] <unop> SuperTeece,  dont paste in here tho .. use a !pastebin :)
[12:12] <shatrat> mindstate, ah, you have to right click and delete
[12:12] <mastermixer> it sure is a good alternative
[12:12] <Dextorion> mastermixer: Alrighty, thank you.
[12:12] <mothersuperior> anyone here using wlan-ng drivers?
[12:12] <bubba> Dextorion: f-spot is cleaner, simpler. i like it better
[12:12] <unop> SuperTeece,  for reference : http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch13_:_Linux_Wireless_Networking
[12:12] <adaptr> cypherdelic: next, if that shows you your ext3 partitions, choose the one where the /boot directory is - usually /, unless you configured it differently
[12:12] <quaal> unop, hmm after running that command i got this http://pastebin.ca/362622 and then apt-get install gave the same error as the original..
[12:12] <mindstate> shatrat: right clicking does nothing for me
[12:13] <Dextorion> bubba: Thank you.
[12:13] <shatrat> bubba, but picasa is owned by google which makes it cooler to geeks
[12:13] <bubba> shatrat: naaah
[12:13] <adaptr> cypherdelic: then, enter that partition and type "setup (hd0)"
[12:13] <__doc__> soundray: the ticket about this issue should almost automagically file itself purely from the number of times this crops up in a google search
[12:13] <mindstate> shatrat: isnt there a folder for it? that i can just remove
[12:13] <Dextorion> hm..  I'll definatly have a look at F-spot before i start building my collection here then.
[12:13] <adaptr> cypherdelic: reboot, and it should now find the grub menu , at least
[12:13] <shatrat> mindstate, you have to right click on the righthand side of the Menu Layout editor on whatever element you want to delete
[12:13] <shatrat> mindstate, probably, I dont knkow where it is
[12:14] <cypherdelic> adaptr, fine, thanks, i will try that, please hold on for eventueally greetings :)
[12:14] <soundray> __doc__: it's easy to get a postinst script wrong. In the case of the scons package, it could have been as simple as a missing dependency on python-central (that's not it, scons does depend on it).
[12:14] <edolo> i can't install firefox because "is impossible do lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock"
[12:14] <mindstate> shatrat: i want the folder location lol
[12:14] <unop> quaal,  hmm, is this the first time you've used pgp? it looks like it
[12:14] <GrimSleeper> "failed to run network-admin as user root"
[12:14] <adaptr> shatrat: why so ? google is da evil these days
[12:14] <shatrat> adaptr, lies.
[12:14] <unop> edolo,  are you running that command as superuser
[12:14] <adaptr> edolo: you already have a package manager open
[12:14] <mindstate> edolo: use sudo
[12:14] <mothersuperior> ANYONE  USE WLANNG DRIVERS
[12:14] <korey> ok, here is my question.  How can I boot from a live cd into my newly installed ubuntu?  grub on the hard drive does not work.
[12:14] <ant30> Somebody know the name of next next Ubuntu 7.10 ?
[12:14] <adaptr> !caps | mothersuperior
[12:14] <ubotu> mothersuperior: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[12:14] <unop> !CAPS
[12:14] <Dextorion> bubba: mastermixer: jrib:  Do you guys edit your pictures anything?  Or just store them? If you edit, what program? :)
[12:14] <Colonel> Fiesty Fawn
[12:14] <LjL> !caps | mothersuperior
[12:14] <adaptr> heh
[12:14] <SuperTeece> adaptr: got it  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6484/
[12:14] <mothersuperior> sorry
[12:15] <LjL> !feisty > ant30    (ant30, see the private message from Ubotu)
[12:15] <mindstate> anyone know where the folder for the "applications" menu in gnome is located
[12:15] <__doc__> soundray: btw. if you want one to laugh. it seems like the bios revisions of i810 intel chipsets between A22 and A32 in dell notebooks was changed in respectively to the A06 revision such as to break both i810 and 845patch, such that setting the grakas memory doesn't help and you've got to live with 8-bit color.
[12:15] <zen> My sound is really soft...besides the normal volume controls, is there a way to make it louder?
[12:15] <cafuego_> mindstate: they're not folders
[12:15] <jrib> Dextorion: I don't really edit pictures much but in the past I've used GIMP
[12:15] <SuperTeece> unop: thanks for the paste help, I almost did a bad thing
[12:15] <mindstate> cafuego: what are they
[12:15] <bubba> zen: have the same problem
[12:15] <mastermixer> ant30, those numbers mean the year and month of the release.. it'll surely start with a 7
[12:15] <ant30> I ask for pass feisty
[12:15] <Dextorion> jrib: Great. I've already had a look at GIMP. Looks very nice!
[12:15] <soundray> __doc__: "grakas"? You German?
[12:15] <__doc__> soundray: hmmmm yummi 8-bit color, reminds me of the good 'ol times
[12:15] <mothersuperior> anyone use wlan-ng drivers?
[12:16] <quaal> unop, hmm
[12:16] <__doc__> soundray: swiss
[12:16] <ant30> it's known ?
[12:16] <quaal> unop i have failed you :(
[12:16] <cafuego_> mindstate: Check out the .desktop files in /usr/share/applications/
[12:16] <korey> is there a way to boot from live cd into alrady installed system?
[12:16] <mastermixer> Dextorion, i use gimp myself aswell, but if you can also use photoshop in wine
[12:16] <mindstate> cafuego: aight, thanks
[12:16] <unop> SuperTeece,  np :)
[12:16] <th1> any idea why gnome is default in ubuntu, instead of KDE?
[12:16] <mahound> soundray, errr... now, we're back to 640x480 :|
[12:16] <th1> I mean tbh, gnome sucks
[12:16] <GrimSleeper> Its telling wrong password? I need some help.
[12:16] <unop> quaal,  errm, thats just a warning there not a failure -- you should be ok to continue
[12:16] <adaptr> SuperTeece: I see tc1100_wmi loaded.. but not used, that might be something
[12:17] <sethk> th1, I prefer kde, but many people hate it.  who cares which is the default?  use the one you like.
[12:17] <Slart> th1: obviously enough people in ubuntu-land doesn't agree
[12:17] <korey> th1, for KDE default, download Kubuntu instead of Ubuntu
[12:17] <soundray> mahound: no options in Sys-Prefs-Screen Resolution?
[12:17] <adaptr> SuperTeece: and a lot of yenta nonsense - is one of them a PCMCIA card ?
[12:17] <Cryoniq> Hi. I read somewhere that whenever there are xorg, kernel updates and so on, I should reinstall the graphics driver. Is that true and could that be the cause of some applications built for linux work slow as syrup at the moment?
[12:17] <Dextorion> mastermixer: Thanks :)
[12:17] <th1> sethk the problem is that since it is default things like firefox save dialog etc. are gnome style..
[12:17] <zen> Okay, so you guys have no idea how to raise the volume?
[12:17] <SuperTeece> adaptr: ok, lead me on, how do I rectify that?  Yes the belkin is a pcmcia
[12:17] <mahound> soundray, no
[12:17] <bubba> zen: nope
[12:17] <soundray> __doc__: I guess Dell is one of many manufacturers that just hasn't "got" open source yet.
[12:17] <adaptr> SuperTeece: there is a log, or a potential log, for pcmcia events you can look at
[12:17] <sethk> th1, not on my box, but I install firefox from the firefox web site, not from the repos
[12:17] <bubba> zen: i onlu have the problem on my laptop though
[12:18] <adaptr> SuperTeece: but what is the other one, built-in ?
[12:18] <mastermixer> mahound, you shouldn't forget to set the frequencies your monitor can handle
[12:18] <th1> sethk, ok maybe I will try that
[12:18] <shatrat> Cryoniq, it depends on how you installed your drivers in the first place.  Most repositories should auto update them.  if you run glxinfo | grep rendering does it say yes?
[12:18] <SuperTeece> adapter: the pcmcia card is MIMO so I prefer to get that one working if possible
[12:18] <__doc__> soundray: it'd be intel in this case
[12:18] <zen> bubba, yeah, I'm on my laptop...you using ALSA or something else?
[12:18] <soundray> mahound: can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[12:18] <bubba> zen: alsa indeed
[12:18] <SuperTeece> adaptr: yes, the broadcom is builtin
[12:18] <Cryoniq> It says yes.. but it also reports.. hang on
[12:18] <Icehawk78> Is anyone familiar enough with Postfix and Courier-IMAP to be able to help me with setting up a new account to be able to set up POP3 access only to?
[12:18] <Cryoniq> libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b
[12:18] <soundray> __doc__: I see
[12:18] <Cryoniq> direct rendering: Yes
[12:19] <bubba> zen: i've got everything cranked to the maximum levels and it still sound pretty pityful
[12:19] <Cryoniq> What does that warning mean?
[12:19] <DigitalNinja> Has anyone here used "electricsheep"? I can't get mine to connect to the server and download a "sheep".
[12:19] <sethk> Icehawk78, if you don't add the user to courier, you will pretty much get exactly that without doing anything else
[12:19] <DJS_2_6> Hello.  Trying to access a sun server's serial lom port using a serial cable.  I have not done this in a long time, and have forgotten and been unable to find what cli command to use to start the access.  Could someone please help me or point me in the right direction?
[12:19] <q_> any idea about the best power management program for laptops?
[12:19] <sethk> Icehawk78, courier has it's own user configuration.
[12:19] <shatrat> Cryoniq, the warning is harmless.  You look to be in good shape as far as drivers go.
[12:19] <adaptr> SuperTeece: I hear bad things about broadcom...
[12:19] <zen> bubba, I fixed it...in a really, _really_ wierd way....
[12:19] <bubba> zen: ??
[12:19] <Icehawk78> sethk: So far Ive literally just c/ped exactly line for line from an FAQ, so I'm not even sure how to get this stuff set up in any manner.
[12:19] <zen> bubba, you won't believe me.... >.>
[12:20] <bubba> zen: ??????
[12:20] <GrimSleeper> How come I can log in, but if I want to mess with the network or change the time it wont let me? Any ideas.  Everything worked fine until I used the update mangager.
[12:20] <Cryoniq> Aye I think so too kinda.. beryl is working fine.. second life works pretty good.. must be related to the other programs then. Just had to pop a question about it :)
[12:20] <SuperTeece> adapter: the sad sad thing is that this broadcom card worked fine before I deployed, not (after reinstalling the os) following the same steps as 5 months ago gets me to this issue
[12:20] <nerdzyboy> Could anyone help me instal rt400 drivers (ralink wifi drivers) for ubuntu with kernel version 2.6.15-28-686?
[12:20] <sethk> Icehawk78, I use webmin for postfix, and for courier I use the courier CLI config program which has an add user function
[12:20] <__doc__> soundray: I've had about enough of the proprietary driver field circus. It's a show without merit. Consumers are screwed over crosswise by the hardware vendors who are in bed with m$, somebody should start passing law about the strangling of emerging technoglogy markets and get m$ wiped
[12:20] <zen> bubba, Alright, so I was listening to streaming music off the net, and it was really soft.  Decided to test what happened if I listen to music locally...
[12:20] <soundray> q_: most power management features are kernel features. You can edit /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf for more control than Gnome grants you.
[12:20] <bubba> zen: and...
[12:20] <shatrat> Cryoniq, 3D apps are gonna slow down while youre running beryl because it uses a lot of resources.
[12:21] <SuperTeece> adaptr: so what do you think my next step is?
[12:21] <Cryoniq> shatrat, aye.. that is why I unloaded beryl and tried as well :)
[12:21] <Icehawk78> sethk: Would you have a link that could explain how to use either of these? I'm literally *just* beginning to use Linux and am not extremely familiar with it
[12:21] <sogen> my ubuntu works not good help me
[12:21] <adaptr> SuperTeece: take one of the cards out and start getting the other one to work.. tryingto troubleshoot two wifi nics at once is bound to be troublematic
[12:21] <sethk> Icehawk78, let me look, hold on a moment
[12:21] <ChaosEddie> sogen: knowing the problm will help
[12:21] <Icehawk78> sethk: I'm also running it as a pure server with no GUI
[12:21] <Icehawk78> Thanks
[12:22] <shatrat> __doc__, you cant legislate intelligence into consumers.  drivers are getting better and better.  nvidia ones are just as good as their windows product, and ati is at least trying to catch up
[12:22] <sethk> Icehawk78, doesn't matter, you can run webmin in a web browser on another machine on the network
[12:22] <adaptr> !webmin
[12:22] <ubotu> webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. Please avoid using it.
[12:22] <sogen> ChaosEddie: i do not know english good my ubuntu craching all the time
[12:22] <lineman60> ok i did  a fresh install, followed this to a T http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185174 wireless conection is dog slow and i get random dissconects any ideas?
[12:22] <zen> bubba, so I try with totem...still soft...then on a whim...I try MPlayer (gui'd).  I turn notice it's internal volume is low, so I push that up, and the music that was streaming gets louder too.  (The stream was playing in XMMS, which was maxed).  Now everything else was maxed....so I was rather surprised.
[12:22] <nerdzyboy> Could anyone help me instal rt400 drivers (ralink wifi drivers) for ubuntu with kernel version 2.6.15-28-686?  Please, help me...
[12:22] <soundray> __doc__: in the case of ATI and Nvidia, I guess there might be foul play involved. But many manufacturers simply haven't understood that they could have drivers written for them, if they just managed to organize a minimal amount of developer support.
[12:22] <ChaosEddie> sogen: it;s okay. just tell me when it crashes/what it says when it crashes
[12:22] <korey> Is there a way to boot from live cd into the Ubuntu already on the hard drive?
[12:22] <cypherdelic> adaptr: im at that point where i type root (hd in grub and press TAB, it does a tabstopp, not showing me anthing (i did chroot /mnt/linux/)
[12:23] <SuperTeece> adaptr: I agree. I started with the pcmcia because it is MIMO and thus faster. I gave up on it and started working on the built-in instead because I knew it worked in the past. When I had the same issue, I started asking for help on the forums (which has been ignored) and now I aM HERE
[12:23] <soundray> korey: no, if your grub doesn't work, you should fix it as if Windows had overwritten it:
[12:23] <soundray> !grub | korey
[12:23] <ubotu> korey: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[12:23] <Eposhark> Hi, I seem to have a problem partition a Hard disk: I added the Hard Disk to my system, and I started cfdisk to partition it, by typing "cfdisk /dev/hdd" as root
[12:23] <sogen> ChaosEddie: can we to to prive chat ?
[12:23] <adaptr> cypherdelic: the chroot is not needed, but howmany disks do you have ?
[12:23] <ChaosEddie> of course
[12:23] <__doc__> shatrat: you can legislate that a producer of hardware has to either provide working quality drivers for minor emerging operating systems around or open the spec so they can be provided. But doing neither and getting away with it, and thus helping m$ to promote their shoddyware isn't really in the interest of competition.
[12:23] <nerdzyboy> anyone?
[12:24] <korey> soundray,ubotu: grub will not work on my hard drive for some reason, not on this pc
[12:24] <Eposhark> Then in that menu, I created one partition, as Linux partition, when that was done, I quit the program - however, there is no /dev/hdd1 that I can mount
[12:24] <Eposhark> What should I do?
[12:24] <cypherdelic> adapt: its a noteboob, having 1 harddisk /dev/sda
[12:24] <cypherdelic> book
[12:24] <SuperTeece> adaptr: do you know how to check which version of ndiswrapper libs I have installed?
[12:24] <Eposhark> There is only /dev/hdd in /dev/, no /dev/hdd1 ...
[12:24] <soundray> mahound: did I miss your pastebin URL?
[12:24] <adaptr> __doc__: there are serious FCC issues with open-sourcing WiFi driver code and specs.. they don't always appreciate it when consumers go changing the frequencies of 2GHz chipsets.....
[12:24] <lnxmomo> hi
[12:24] <mahound> soundray, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6486/
[12:24] <Eposhark> Is that becaussssssss only have one partition?
[12:24] <adaptr> SuperTeece: nope, never used it
[12:24] <sethk> Icehawk78, I have a man page for cyradm, which is the cyrus imap configuration program.  There are URLs for this stuff, let's see if I can hunt one up.  Once you get webmin up and running, it is mostly self-explanatory.  If you want to use cli only, you can, but that means editing the postfix configuration files directly.  Which is not really a big deal, but obviously with an admin program it's much easier.
[12:25] <GrimSleeper> how do I access as root?  My user pass doesnt work.  Im pulling my hair out now.
[12:25] <mahound> soundray, sorry, just pasted it right now
[12:25] <adaptr> cypherdelic: and it's SATA ?
[12:25] <jrib> !sudo | GrimSleeper
[12:25] <ubotu> GrimSleeper: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[12:25] <cypherdelic> yes
[12:25] <lnxmomo> is there something that can display my parallel printer like lsusb displays my usb pen?
[12:25] <SuperTeece> ok well I'm gone for now, I'll be back later to try again if I haven't figures it out
[12:25] <bubba> zen: strange... I must admit I never really understood how these alsa volume settings worked
[12:25] <SuperTeece> bye bye
[12:25] <fglrx> I AM THE SPAWN OF SATAN! MUAHAHAHAHAHA.
[12:25] <mahound> soundray, i'm currently on 1024x768, but everything seems horizontally stretched
[12:25] <GrimSleeper> thx, I'll check it out.
[12:25] <shatrat> __doc__, so then everybody has to make drivers for gnu/hurd and opensolaris and minix or else open up their source so that patent trolls can take them to court over frivolous nonsense all over the world?   The problem is solving itself through market forces.  Intel voluntarily documents its hardware and nvidia supports linux bsd and solaris.   more annoying laws will only make things worse
[12:25] <cypherdelic> adaptr yes
[12:25] <lnxmomo> anyone?
[12:25] <adaptr> cypherdelic: in that case it should just be hd0, run "root (hd0,x)" and "setup (hd0)" in grub... if you know which partitoin holds your /boot
[12:26] <__doc__> adaptr: if you have minimal electrotechnical working knowledge you can produe frequencies smackin the middle of where you shouldn't
[12:26] <Icehawk78> sethk: Should I just ignore the think from ubotu saying not to use webmin, then?
[12:26] <lnxmomo> is there something that can display my parallel printer like lsusb displays my usb pen?
[12:26] <sethk> Icehawk78, yes, that's political nonsense
[12:26] <__doc__> adaptr: nobody prevents you from buying electronics equipment, transistors and soldering iron because of that, do they?
[12:26] <quaal> unop what is just a warning, the message after the apt-get update ?
[12:26] <adaptr> __doc__: but not with closed-source wifi drivers.. which is the whole point, they don't want to make it any easier
[12:26] <Icehawk78> lol, okay, just checking.
[12:26] <cypherdelic> adapt how to find that out
[12:26] <nexousNET> Hi, I just moved a ttf font to /home/MYUSERNAME/.fonts/ and the font is shown, but is all " . "
[12:26] <sethk> Icehawk78, somebody doesn't like the license that webmin is using on future releases.  I think it's dumb to let that stop you from using something that helps you.
[12:26] <adaptr> __doc__: and you woul dbe surprised, it's very illegal regardless of how much of a whiz you are
[12:26] <Trixsey> Do any of you use mplayer? If so, do you know what the default dir is for codecs (repo install)?
[12:26] <cypherdelic> adapt before installation of feisty it was (hd0,2) (sda3)
[12:27] <Lunar_Lamp> I was performing the following command "rsync -rv /dir/ /dir/" when I ran out of disc space. I have now freed up the required space - how do I run the rsync again, but tell it to ignore files that are already there (i.e. not recopy existing files)?
[12:27] <__doc__> adaptr: sure it's illegal, but buying soldering iron isn't
[12:27] <hey560> suspend
[12:27] <unop> quaal,  what happens when you try and update now?
[12:27] <sethk> Icehawk78, I don't use linux for political reasons, I use it to do work that needs to be done, and I do it in the way that's best for me.
[12:27] <adaptr> cypherdelic: the partition won't have changed, but feisty ? why ?
[12:27] <__doc__> adaptr: which is the whole point
[12:27] <hey560> ?suspend
[12:27] <fglrx> Trixsey: /usr/lib/win32
[12:27] <Icehawk78> sethk: Same here.
[12:27] <Flannel> sethk, Icehawk78, it's more of a "the maintainer stopped doing it" than anything else, without a maintainer it can't exist
[12:27] <cypherdelic> adaptr just to check it out
[12:27] <adaptr> __doc__: I no longer get, or care for, the point, so neh
[12:27] <hey560> does anyone know how to fix suspend issues on a lenovo n100?
[12:27] <Eposhark> Why is issuing "fdisk -l" taking a while on some HDD's?
[12:27] <quaal> unop, same message as the original.
[12:27] <adaptr> cypherdelic: #ubuntu+1
[12:27] <sethk> Eposhark, for something that can't exist, it works pretty well  :)
[12:28] <Trixsey> fglrx, in both dapper, edgy and feisty?
[12:28] <Eposhark> What do you mean sethk ?
[12:28] <__doc__> adaptr: saying you can't opensource wireless drivers because it would allow people to mess with the frequencies is like saying you can't sell soldering iron because people use it to assemble circuitry that can produce high frequency EM waves.
[12:28] <__doc__> adaptr: it's silly
[12:28] <adaptr> Trixsey: yes, in all 4 :)
[12:28] <unop> quaal,  but the last you showed me was this http://pastebin.ca/362622 -- which i dont believe has anything to do with apt-get/aptitude
[12:28] <fglrx> Trixsey: What does mplayer have to do with dapper, edgy and feisty? It's produced by totally different people.
[12:28] <quaal> unop this one http://pastebin.ca/362634
[12:28] <Eposhark> fdisk -l says:    Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
[12:28] <Eposhark> /dev/hdd1               1        9730    78156193+  83  Linux
[12:28] <sethk> __doc__, that's quite correct, plus, the NDIS drivers will theoretically let you mess with any wireless hardware.
[12:28] <quaal> unop, thats the last lines of the apt-get update
[12:28] <soundray> mahound: there's nothing obviously wrong with that configuration
[12:28] <mahound> soundray, any clue?
[12:28] <Eposhark> However, I can't mount it: root@lannie:/home/epo# mount -t ext3 /dev/hdd /mnt/hitachi/
[12:28] <Eposhark> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdd,
[12:29] <adaptr> __doc__: there is a real difference: with open source code, ONE person can write a driver that allows everybody else on the planet to use that code to re-program their wifi transceivers.. that's hard to do with one soldering iron
[12:29] <Trixsey> fglrx, yeah but according to mplayer, the default dir for codecs is /usr/local/lib/codecs/
[12:29] <cypherdelic> adaptr : Error 21: Selected Disk does not exist (root (hd0,0) (hd0,1) h(hd0,2) (hd1,2)
[12:29] <unop> quaal,  try this then - wget http://3v1n0.tuxfamily.org/EDD1E155.gpg -O-|sudo apt-key add -
[12:29] <Trixsey> fglrx, who made is has little importance in this case.. rather who configured it
[12:29] <Eposhark> Also, if I try "hdd1", it says it doesn't exist: root@lannie:/home/epo# mount -t ext3 /dev/hdd1 /mnt/hitachi/
[12:29] <Eposhark> mount: special device /dev/hdd1 does not exist
[12:29] <adaptr> cypherdelic: you don't have a hd1
[12:29] <shatrat> adaptr, what exactly is the problem with that?
[12:29] <soundray> mahound: you might want to try Option "UseFBDev" "false", but that's just speculation
[12:29] <cypherdelic> adaptr : seems that i even have a hd0
[12:30] <soundray> mahound: have you had a look at your /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
[12:30] <sethk> __doc__, I happen to have been writing device drivers for wireless stuff the last six months or so, and the frequency control is typically in the hardware, not the software.  Even if it were in the software, the argument would be foolish, but it's doubly foolish if it's in the hardware.
[12:30] <adaptr> shatrat: the FCC forbids it, I never said there was a problem as such, just the reasoning behind not open-sourcing transceiver specs
[12:30] <adaptr> shatrat: they're not MY reasons
[12:30] <nexousNET> Hi, I just moved a ttf font to /home/MYUSERNAME/.fonts/ and the font is shown, but is all " . "
[12:30] <ChaosEddie> sogen: are you there? im still waiting for your PM
[12:30] <sethk> adaptr, the fcc doesn't have anything whatsoever to say about it, actually.
[12:30] <__doc__> adaptr: welcome within the last terrasecond of the singularity, stoneheaded conservatists who are afraid of change are going to have a scary one
[12:30] <brianski> is there a way to disable the fadeout effect when you click the shutdown button in gnome?
[12:31] <adaptr> sethk: hmm ?
[12:31] <Dextorion> F-Spot seams ver nice..
[12:31] <sethk> adaptr, I work on this stuff all the time, there are no fcc restrictions on what I can do in hardware vs software
[12:31] <kitche> adaptr; fcc just tells you how much power and how high your antiena and transmitter can have really
[12:31] <sogen> ChaosEddie:  im PMing you hmm..
[12:31] <Dextorion> its..  simpler.
[12:31] <adaptr> __doc__: do you make more sense when sober ?
[12:31] <cypherdelic> adaptr: what to do now?
[12:31] <adaptr> sethk: I see, thanks
[12:31] <sogen> ChaosEddie: or im doingsomething wrong :P
[12:31] <sethk> adaptr, the fcc specifies which frequencies I use, and how far I'm allowed to drift, etc., but nothing at the software level.
[12:31] <shatrat> doc needs an emotional weblog somewhere that nobody reads, hes very poetic
[12:31] <adaptr> kitche: yeah, that was it...
[12:32] <__doc__> adaptr: no, but is that a hidden critique on my 15yr springbanks?
[12:32] <ChaosEddie> no it's not you
[12:32] <ChaosEddie> im not resigtered on my nick
[12:32] <ChaosEddie> msg me in #flood
[12:32] <Dextorion> jrib: Do i have to import the pictures into the directory Photos? Is there anyway to set which directory i want to use?
[12:32] <jrib> Dextorion: not sure
[12:32] <adaptr> sethk: that's the whole point - if you have access to the driver specs, you can reprogram the transceiver and alter the frequencies (and often the power output as well)
[12:32] <mahound> soundray, "no mode of this name"
[12:32] <insomninja> Anyone with any luck with sound on the Nvidia MCP51 chipset?
[12:32] <adaptr> __doc__: I would not dare critique your springbank suir
[12:33] <adaptr> *sir, even
[12:33] <__doc__> adaptr: if you have access to a programming language you can programm a virus that wrecks the internet and causes millions/billions of dollars of dammage...
[12:33] <jrattner> Beryl is the coolest thing ive ever seen in my life
[12:33] <sethk> adaptr, sure.  you can detune a radio transmitter by moving an inductor coil.  So what?  You aren't supposed to run out of specs, but that has nothing to do with which things are done in hardware and which in software, and with what is, or isn't, open source.
[12:33] <adaptr> __doc__: actually, surprisingly few people actually manage that..,. it's a real skill
[12:33] <__doc__> adaptr: but people *have* managed
[12:33] <fglrx> mahound: What are you trying to do?
[12:33] <Eposhark> My HDD problem summarized, who knows what seems to be the problem? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6488/
[12:33] <soundray> mahound: what's that?
[12:34] <adaptr> sethk: but you're not providing any arguments - if the FCC regulates the frequencies you can use, then they regulate what you can set them to in software just as much as in hardware
[12:34] <mahound> fglrx, using a higher mode... 1024x768 looks distorted
[12:34] <mahound> horizontally stretched
[12:34] <mahound> soundray, it says that for every mode above 1024+78
[12:34] <__doc__> adaptr: it's all bedies the point. responsibility can't be delegated to technical restrictions.
[12:34] <nexousNET> !ttf-fonts
[12:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ttf-fonts - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:34] <fglrx> Eposhark: You're trying to mount a whole drive! /dev/hdd1 is what you should be mounting -- a partition.
[12:35] <Eposhark> Check the next line fglrx
[12:35] <fglrx> mahound: What are you trying to use?
[12:35] <cypherdelic> adaptr: of course it cant wort with chroot, straight of the head, i did it whithout chroot, foudn root (hd0,2) and did setup (hd0,2)
[12:35] <adaptr> __doc__: true, but I never made such points, I just stated a fact: it's illegal, period
[12:35] <cypherdelic> adaptr: hopefully it will be fixed now
[12:35] <sethk> adaptr, sure, I was saying that it has no impact on whether something is, or isn't, open source.
[12:35] <adaptr> cypherdelic: good one
[12:35] <fglrx> Eposhark: Oh. I need to work on that reading thing...
[12:35] <Eposhark> No problem, I'm glad you want to help me :)
[12:35] <adaptr> sethk: and that may well be so, but I have heard the argument put forward once or twice
[12:35] <soundray> mahound: can you pastebin this line and some of its context pls
[12:36] <mahound> soundray, sure
[12:36] <__doc__> adaptr: wrong
[12:36] <cypherdelic> adaptr: damn still Error 22 :(
[12:36] <SuperTeece> __doc__: I found I have ndiswrapper utils 1.8
[12:36] <__doc__> adaptr: it's illegal in your tiny spec of land
[12:36] <cypherdelic> adaptr: seems hd 0,2 be wrong?
[12:36] <cypherdelic> +to
[12:36] <adaptr> __doc__: huh ?
[12:36] <sethk> adaptr, I've done work for motorola and lucent and qualcomm, and none of their lawyers are concerned.  They bitch about open source, of course, if they think it puts their proprietary code at risk, but I've never been told that there are any regulatory issues that prevent us from making a driver open source.
[12:37] <soundray> cypherdelic: have you tried the geometry command?
[12:37] <Kaidelong> where do I go to ask about drivers? n.n
[12:37] <Icehawk78> sethk: I tried installing webmin and had some errors
[12:37] <mahound> soundray, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6489
[12:37] <boricua> can upgrade to feisty from dapper with gui?
[12:37] <jamie_> any on tell me which .conf to edit to tell gnome to use esd
[12:37] <cypherdelic> soundray: now sry what was that again, please?
[12:37] <__doc__> adaptr: the regulation authorities hereabouts enforce the law of frequencies by means of control and personel, not by imposing silly technical restrictions on software.
[12:37] <soundray> boricua: no
[12:37] <sethk> Icehawk78, if you put the errors on the paste site, we can all look at them
[12:37] <shatrat> __doc__, so maybe the swiss semiconductor giants should make their own wireless cards?
[12:37] <cypherdelic> soundray, adaptr: im restarting livecd ;)
[12:37] <boricua> soundray::-(
[12:37] <adaptr> sethk: again, sigh, I just made the point that I have heard it said .. somewhere, once, for example, nvidia's drivers, but that may all have been rumours, chill out, take the green pill, etc etc
[12:38] <adaptr> __doc__: and where is that ?
[12:38] <soundray> cypherdelic: at the grub menu, hit c to get to the grub commandline. From there, run 'geometry (hd0)'
[12:38] <sethk> adaptr, all I'm saying is that I don't believe there is really an issue.
[12:38] <__doc__> adaptr: switzerland
[12:38] <adaptr> sethk: good! let's leave it there
[12:38] <arrenlex> mahound: Oooh. I can help you. Just a second.
[12:38] <Icehawk78> sethk: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6490/
[12:38] <Eposhark> No one a clue? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6488/
[12:38] <adaptr> __doc__: and what speck of land did I come from ?
[12:38] <mahound> arrenlex, ok,  thanks
[12:38] <cypherdelic> soundray: at the menu, what menu, i even dont get any menu, do you mean in live cd, running grub??
[12:38] <arrenlex> mahound: How are you on IRC right now if X won't start?
[12:39] <adaptr> cypherdelic: he means the grub menu, which you never seem to reach...
[12:39] <__doc__> adaptr: one that has an authoriity called FCC which can only be ony spec
[12:39] <mahound> arrenlex, X starts
[12:39] <mahound> arrenlex, but not with the resolution i wanted
[12:39] <cypherdelic> soundray: i get GRUB loading ... Error 22, it cant find grub, i it cant show any menu
[12:39] <adaptr> arrenlex: that's rather short-sighted, yes ? irssi, bitchx, whatever
[12:39] <Eposhark> I'm starting to become desperate here :(
[12:39] <soundray> cypherdelic: okay
[12:39] <sethk> Eposhark, you mount a partition, which is why hdd is wrong (hdd is the disk).  Now, why fdisk sees hdd1 and mount doesn't, is quite possibly a misleading error message
[12:39] <mahound> arrenlex, besides that, this is other computer :)
[12:39] <arrenlex> adaptr: I was asking the question to see if I can give him commands like "turn off x and do this" without him leaving =P
[12:39] <cypherdelic> adaptr, soundray any further ideas? :(
[12:39] <jwtodd> hi .. .i have a sound blaster xfi installed but i don't think it is being recognized. i am reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems?highlight=%28sound%29 and could use some pointers. thx.
[12:40] <sethk> Eposhark, I came into this late, perhaps.  Did you do mkfs on this partition yourself?
[12:40] <arrenlex> mahound: Install the 915resolution package.
[12:40] <adaptr> __doc__: you're on the bottle again.. the FCC is the United States' Regulatory body for communications signals, and it's hardly a speck, but I'm not from the US - most people here are, though, hence my remarks
[12:40] <shatrat> jwtodd, you bought the wrong sound card :p  creative doesnt support the x-fi under linux or document it at all
[12:40] <cypherdelic> maybe it changed partition numbering, because in gparted, visually my third drive was not /sda3
[12:40] <mahound> arrenlex, ok
[12:40] <jwtodd> ouch
[12:40] <Eposhark> sethk: I ran cfdisk and made a partition, and it's called hdd1, and I wrote the changes to the disk. fdisk -l shows hdd1, I don't know what to do.
[12:40] <sethk> Icehawk78, webmin uses perl and some perl support libraries.  Install all of perl and these errors should go away.  You'll want both the run time and dev packages for perl.
[12:40] <cypherdelic> so maybe ill try hd0,1 for the visual second /dev/sda3?
[12:40] <adaptr> cypherdelic: you can get at that easily with fdisk -l /dev/sda
[12:41] <arrenlex> mahound: Then, run "sudo 915resolution 3c 1200 800" or whatever resolution you want for the last two numbers (my example is 1200x800)
[12:41] <arrenlex> mahound: Then restart X.
[12:41] <adaptr> cypherdelic: erm, no - you need to *know*
[12:41] <shatrat> jwtodd, its a shame because most other creative hardware works quite well with alsa
[12:41] <cypherdelic> adaptr: within chrott or livecd?
[12:41] <jwtodd> ok then ... recommended sound card then?
[12:41] <sethk> Eposhark, after creating the partition with fdisk (or cfdisk or whatever), you have to do mkfs on it before you can mount it.  say,  mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdd1
[12:41] <adaptr> cypherdelic: anywhere!
[12:41] <Icehawk78> sethk: I think I got them, but is there an overarching package that just contains all of perl to install?
[12:41] <mahound> arrenlex, thanks :D
[12:41] <sethk> Eposhark, assuming you want an ext3 file system.
[12:41] <jwtodd> i know ... my old box running ubuntu was a creative card :(
[12:41] <cypherdelic> adaptr: okay hold it
[12:41] <cypherdelic> on i mean
[12:41] <arrenlex> mahound: What this does isn't permanent, so if it works, I'll help you make a script that runs it on boot...
[12:41] <Eposhark> EXT3 is just fine, however, mkfs ext3 -t /dev/hdd1 says there is no such file
[12:42] <adaptr> Eposhark: -t ext3, not the other way around
[12:42] <sethk> Icehawk78, I'm not sure about whether there is a single perl package that encompases the others.  I just use synaptic, search for perl, and check everything.  If you have plenty of room, that's the way to go.
[12:42] <adaptr> Eposhark: /dev/hdd1 is not a type
[12:42] <arrenlex> Eposhark: If it exists when you boot from liveCD, you could just make it using mknod, I guess.
[12:42] <jwtodd> shatrat: can you recommend a comperable card you would recommend?
[12:42] <Icehawk78> sethk: Webmin appears to be working now. Did you say I should/need to install something else now?
[12:42] <adaptr> Eposhark: please follow advice literally or not at all... if it was advice, that is
[12:42] <shatrat> jwtodd, you might poke around here.  im using onboard sound at the moment. http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/index.php
[12:43] <sethk> Icehawk78, if it works, and if postfix comes up in the list of servers to manage, you're fine.
[12:43] <jwtodd> thx
[12:43] <cypherdelic> adaptr: so it shows /dev/sda1 as SWAP
[12:43] <dejx> Could anybody please tell me how to connect to crypted wireless network on xubuntu (latest), encryption is wpa
[12:43] <adaptr> Icehawk78: why not set up a rootkit ? beat them to the punch, as it were
[12:43] <adaptr> cypherdelic: and ?
[12:43] <knoppi1> hey
[12:43] <knoppi1> eroro
[12:43] <knoppi1> error
[12:43] <jwtodd> perhaps i should go on board. i have an evga mother board.
[12:43] <cypherdelic> adaptr: it shows one big as /dev/sda2, thats an extra storage and /dev/sda3 that must be my edgy root partition
[12:43] <knoppi1> Unpacking replacement dpkg ...
[12:43] <knoppi1> (11:31:15) knoppi1: dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/dpkg_1.13.25_i386.deb (--unpack):
[12:43] <adaptr> cypherdelic: you should be able to determine from the sizes
[12:43] <Icehawk78> adaptr: Why would I set up a rootkit?
[12:44] <knoppi1> how to repair this error
[12:44] <cypherdelic> adaptr: /dev/sda3 is marked as bootable
[12:44] <adaptr> Icehawk78: never mind, it was webmin humor..
[12:44] <mahound> arrenlex, ok...thanks
[12:44] <cypherdelic> adaptr: yes, size, thats what i did
[12:44] <adaptr> cypherdelic: then that holds your grub, most likely
[12:44] <arrenlex> mahound: Did it work?
[12:44] <knoppi1> !dpkg
[12:44] <ubotu> dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.
[12:44] <adaptr> cypherdelic: but sda3 most definitely is hd0,2
[12:44] <cypherdelic> adaptr: then hd0,2 is right, why doesnt it work?
[12:44] <adaptr> cypherdelic: better partition manually next time ...
[12:44] <shatrat> jwtodd, im no audiofile but most onboard sound isnt all that bad in my experience.
[12:45] <cypherdelic> adaptr: i did ;)
[12:45] <knoppi1> maybe this is some dpkg error
[12:45] <adaptr> cypherdelic: well, it could be grub doesn';t understand your SATA interface
[12:45] <knoppi1> someone can do something.
[12:45] <Icehawk78> adaptr: Yeah, I'm a little slow on the uptake right now
[12:45] <adaptr> cypherdelic: you *did* ? hum...
[12:45] <cypherdelic> adaptr: i rezizes the big partition and made a new ext3 at the end for feisty
[12:45] <jwtodd> i'm u/g a 7yr old box ... i'd like to believe onboard audio has improved since then :)
[12:45] <jwtodd> thx tons.
[12:45] <adaptr> cypherdelic: woa, woa - slowdown there
[12:45] <knoppi1> feisty is in alpha
[12:45] <mahound> arrenlex, worked
[12:45] <cypherdelic> now i delted the feisty partition and want to switch back to edgy
[12:45] <dejx> hello
[12:45] <dejx> Could anybody please tell me how to connect to crypted wireless network on xubuntu (latest), encryption is wpa
[12:46] <Kaidelong> what are you planning to use?
[12:46] <knoppi1> hello you

[12:46] <jrattner> Question: Where is edgy supposed to be released? and please just answer dont just point me some where :)
[12:47] <soundray> knoppi1: 1) you are not allowed to paste errors here, 2) you are pasting a part of an error where the important bit is missing. Put the whole message up on pastebin
[12:47] <shatrat> jrattner, april sometime I believe
[12:47] <jwtodd> hmmm ... my old card is an audigy ... which tops http://www.linuxquestions.org audio compat list. ponder.
[12:47] <Icehawk78> sethk: Would my mail server then just be pop.mynetwork.homeip.net?
[12:47] <cypherdelic> knoppi1, yes feisty is alpha, but i dont think it changed my old root partition because i told it to install on a new partition
[12:47] <jrattner> shatrat, thank you
[12:47] <soundray> !pastebin > knoppi1, read the private message from ubotu
[12:47] <kitche> jrattner: edgy is out already been out for couple of months
[12:47] <mahound> arrenlex, how do i make it permanent?
[12:48] <cypherdelic> maybe it removed the boot flag, but undid this!
[12:48] <Icehawk78> sethk: And the login info just be the user's unix login info?
[12:48] <knoppi1> he
[12:48] <sethk> Icehawk78, depends on how dns is set up.  Mine is just mail.mydomain.com
[12:48] <shatrat> jwtodd, yeah, thats why I say its surprising that creative hasnt documented their x-fi card at all, you'd think they would want it to work as well.
[12:48] <arrenlex> mahound: Good to hear! Okay, run this: sudo wget http://arrrenlex.ls.la/fixres -O/etc/init.d/fixres
[12:48] <adaptr> cypherdelic: more likely you removed grub entirely, and your edgy install as well...
[12:48] <knoppi1> cypherdelic man nobody know.GOodluck them
[12:48] <knoppi1> then
[12:48] <arrenlex> mahound: Then "sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/fixres"
[12:48] <kitche> shatrat: hehe you told him edgy suppose ot be out in april when it's been out for months
[12:48] <knoppi1> sondray he ok then leave the error i'm on KNoppix
[12:48] <sethk> Icehawk78, I use the same user login for both imap and unix.  you have to add the user and password separately to cyrus imap using cyradm
[12:48] <arrenlex> mahound: Then: sudo update-rc.d fixres defaults
[12:48] <cypherdelic> adaptr: now the partition is mountable, there is everything, boot/grub, my data
[12:49] <mahound> arrenlex, ok :)
[12:49] <sethk> Icehawk78, postfix will pick up the user automatically, without a separate step, IIRC
[12:49] <shatrat> kitche, im not good with "names" or "dates" or "facts" ok, im an abstract thinker.  Im a holistic problem solver.
[12:49] <soundray> arrenlex: something's wrong with that link
[12:49] <sethk> kitche, hey, he didn't say it would be out for the first time in April.  It should still be out in April  :)
[12:49] <Icehawk78> sethk: Thanks for the help.
[12:50] <arrenlex> soundray: You're right, I can't spell my own name. xD
[12:50] <cypherdelic> adaptr, everything is still there on /dev/sda3
[12:50] <mahound> arrenlex, are you sure that's the url?
[12:50] <arrenlex> mahound: Okay, backtrack.
[12:50] <arrenlex> mahound: sudo wget http://arrenlex.ls.la/fixres -O/etc/init.d/fixres
[12:50] <kitche> sethk: true :P
[12:50] <arrenlex> mahound: And then run the other commands.
[12:51] <cypherdelic> adaptr: are you sure that #k-opt root=UUID instead of /ev/sda3 is not a must have??
[12:51] <adaptr> cypherdelic: of course not, who said that ?
[12:51] <soundray> arrenlex: will this work with Driver "i810" ?
[12:51] <arrenlex> soundray: That's the only thing it works for.
[12:51] <cypherdelic> then i dont know, its marked bootable, it begins and cant find grub, but why
[12:52] <BlenderKitty> hey, is there any way to update my edgy install to feisty?
[12:52] <adaptr> cypherdelic: the kernel line does not need it, no - you'll need some background as to why Linux is switching to disk UUIDs
[12:52] <soundray> arrenlex: thanks
[12:52] <arrenlex> soundray: For what? xD
[12:52] <soundray> !feisty | BlenderKitty
[12:52] <ubotu> BlenderKitty: 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
[12:52] <adaptr> cypherdelic: no clue, as I don't know how you installed the first time, and you can't seem to figure out where your root partition is
[12:52] <cypherdelic> adaptr: i think i MUST exec grub via chroot, to make it setting up correctly
[12:53] <adaptr> cypherdelic: chroot will not (and cannot) change the names or locations of physical disks
[12:53] <soundray> arrenlex: I took the liberty to download your script, too :)  ... and I learnt something from your suggestion.
[12:53] <arrenlex> soundray: You were having resolution problems?
[12:53] <dreamerdude> is alpha the same as BETA?
[12:53] <cypherdelic> but grub needs to make the changes on the mounted final root filesystem
[12:53] <pcieasd> it's one less
[12:53] <cypherdelic> not on tmp cd
[12:53] <arrenlex> dreamerdude: No. Alpha is earlier than beta.
[12:53] <adaptr> cypherdelic: how did you boot feisty ? did you use a single boot partition to hold both, or did you overwrite the grub config ?
[12:54] <narg> configure: error: *** you need to have the Linux kernel source installed for this driver  This is for building lirc, but I have both kernel-source and headers installed. Do I need to give it the path of them?
[12:54] <soundray> arrenlex: no, it's just that I've been unable to help mahound
[12:54] <arrenlex> dreamerdude: An application goes development > alpha > beta > release candidate > release
[12:54] <dreamerdude> arrenlex: thanks
[12:54] <cypherdelic> adaptr: listen, i booted feisty amd64 desktop installation cd
[12:54] <adaptr> cypherdelic: grub will only write to the MBR of a real HD, which does not need to be mounted
[12:54] <cypherdelic> adaptr: i menually partitioned
[12:54] <adaptr> cypherdelic: so that is irrelevant
[12:54] <adaptr> cypherdelic: and you let it write the new grub to the MBR, yes ?
[12:54] <cypherdelic> adaptr: then i rezized the /dev/sda2 which is at the end
[12:55] <adaptr> cypherdelic: so it's pointing to the wrong partition now
[12:55] <cypherdelic> adaptr: then i created a 10gb ext fs
[12:55] <cypherdelic> and installed feisty on that, without touching the others
[12:55] <Dextorion> nighty
[12:55] <angel12> hey, whenever i start beryl-manager in xgl, i get a plain white screen, but i can rotate the screen as if it were my desktop
[12:55] <cypherdelic> yes
[12:55] <adaptr> cypherdelic: and you are using which grub to try to restore it now ?
[12:56] <cypherdelic> adaptr: i did "grub > root (hd0,2) > setup (hd0,2)" and rebooted, still Error 22
[12:56] <tempubun> hi, ubuntu-ppc 6.10 on apple iBook G3, what does an **INVALID IO ALLOCATION** mean in the error output from startx?
[12:56] <adaptr> cypherdelic: of course, that's not correct
[12:56] <adaptr> cypherdelic: you have not once actually overwritten the feisty grub yet
[12:56] <sethk> cypherdelic, you do root with a partition, like (hd0,2), but you do setup with a drive, in this case (hd2)
[12:56] <cypherdelic> adaptr: what will be correct?
[12:56] <adaptr> ^^^
[12:56] <tempubun> and why do i have a Red Screen Of Death?
[12:56] <Jguy101> Hey all, having some trouble...
[12:57] <adaptr> tempubun: your PC is suffering from PMS ?
[12:57] <Jguy101> I just installed 6.10, but can't seem to change my resolution to 1280x1024.
[12:57] <tempubun> join the club ...
[12:57] <tempubun> adaptr: no
[12:57] <cypherdelic> in this case (hd0= wou mean adaptr????

[12:58] <puff> Evening.
[12:58] <jwtodd> for a new (newegg.com) build to only have mucked up w/ the sound card i guess i'm cool w/ it all :)
[12:58] <cypherdelic> adaptr: selected disk not found, maybe i need to mount?!
[12:59] <shatrat> jwtodd, great! if you need to adjust anything just use "alsamixer" in terminal.  It takes getting used to but it lets you change just about everything on the soundcard
[12:59] <SpacePuppy> anybody know of a way to manually extract file from a Nullsoft Installer self-extracting archive  ark -> doesn't seem to like it either.
[12:59] <jwtodd> shatrat. much appreciated!
[12:59] <jwtodd> i 0wn my weekends now :)
[12:59] <shatrat> jwtodd, creative has said they will release their own nvidia drivers for the x-fi, but its gonna be a few months
[12:59] <arrenlex> SpacePuppy: Run it in wine? Or maybe cabextract can handle it.
[12:59] <jwtodd> just built out a dual core x64, 4G mem and an 8800 nv gpu :)
[12:59] <adaptr> cypherdelic: no, you don't
[12:59] <jwtodd> who needs sound :)
[01:00] <cypherdelic> adaptr: it wa smissing sudo, right ;)

[01:00] <SpacePuppy> arrenlex: it hangs under wine for some reason... i'm trying to crack it open.. I'll try cabextract
[01:00] <Jguy101> any idea how to change my resolution with 1280x1024, since editing etc/X11/xorg.conf hasn't helped?

[01:01] <SpacePuppy> arrenlex: nope.. oh well.

[01:03] <cypherdelic> perseverance?

[01:06] <Borat> soundray, thanks mate
[01:06] <mumrah> adaptr: how do i do that
[01:06] <PiNE> i am searching for a GUI way to convert .doc/.odt files to .pdf. does anyone what i should use?
[01:07] <adaptr> mumrah: man rmmod, man lsmod
[01:07] <jrib> PiNE: openoffice
[01:07] <arrenlex> PiNE: Openoffice.org writer =P
[01:07] <soundray> PiNE: OpenOffice
[01:07] <adaptr> PiNE: oo.o, obviously
[01:07] <ofer> 10135787
[01:07] <ofer> opes
[01:07] <adaptr> indeed
[01:07] <^phillip> PiNE, you could upload to Google Docs and then save as.
[01:07] <adaptr> ^phillip: but only if you don't care what happens to it afterwards :)
[01:08] <PiNE> i didn't see it as an option in oo.o is it a plugin or did i miss it?
[01:08] <jrib> PiNE: file > export  iirc
[01:08] <^phillip> I've moved to Ubuntu today after 11 years of Windows.
[01:08] <pcieasd> have a depenency problem when trying to install pptpconfig on an amd64 system.  "Depends: php-pcntl (>= 4.3.7) but it is not installable"
[01:08] <PiNE> jrib, thanks i just found it too.
[01:08] <kaje1> can someone tell me why my .bash_profile script isn't being called in ubuntu?
[01:09] <sonduk> exit
[01:09] <adaptr> kaje1: because nothing is sourcing it ?
[01:09] <^phillip> :P
[01:09] <jrib> kaje1: when do you expect it to be called?
[01:09] <kaje1> when I log in
[01:09] <jrib> kaje1: log in where?
[01:09] <sethk> kaje1, .bash_profile is called for a login shell, .bashrc for a non-login shell.
[01:09] <kaje1> a virtual console or gdm
[01:09] <arrenlex> PiNE: http://arrenlex.ls.la/screenshots/28596.png
[01:10] <sethk> kaje1, with X, there is only one login shell, the initial one.  so if you change .bash_profile, you have to log out of X and log back in before the change is effective
[01:10] <arrenlex> PiNE: http://arrenlex.ls.la/screenshots/26295.png
[01:10] <adaptr> kaje1: also, it is *not a script*
[01:10] <jrib> kaje1: it should be getting source if you log in at tty1 though
[01:10] <wuilliam> Hi, im bad whit the english!! need help! my grub doesnt RUN, in the 1st partition i have windows, later i installed ubuntu 6.10 (64bit) but the grub dont shows, load windows inmediatly
[01:10] <riotkittie> How would I go about using my internal HD to boot a Dapper install on a nonbootable external drive?
[01:10] <ernix> hello
[01:10] <kaje1> why do you say it is not a script? It is just a bash script
[01:10] <sethk> riotkittie, install grub on the internal, and have it point to the root file system on the external
[01:11] <mumrah> adaptr: once i bring down ipw, how to i reload it?
[01:11] <jrib> kaje1: anyway, one solution is to source it in your ~/.xprofile
[01:11] <sethk> kaje1, no, it is _sourced_, _not_ executed, which is _very_ different
[01:11] <kaje1> sethk: I did log out and back in and it didn't run my new .bash_profile
[01:11] <adaptr> kaje1: erm.. a script by definition has an execution line
[01:11] <adaptr> mumrah: ipw being what ?
[01:11] <soundray> !grub | wuilliam, recover grub as if Windows had overwritten it:
[01:11] <ubotu> wuilliam, recover grub as if Windows had overwritten it:: 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
[01:11] <mumrah> adaptr: the wifi module, right?
[01:12] <adaptr> mumrah: no clue, I dont; have it
[01:12] <riotkittie> sethk: is it really that simple? I'm not going to need a kernel or anything on my internal hd?
[01:12] <adaptr> riotkittie: as long as grub can find a kernel, that's enough
[01:12] <kaje1> oh, a #!/bin/sh makes it a script?
[01:12] <sethk> riotkittie, no, you get around that by using an initramfs
[01:12] <adaptr> kaje1: erm, yes
[01:12] <dreamerdude> you can pipe things to a bot on here?
[01:12] <riotkittie> sethk: you are a saint. i have been trying to get an answer to that question forever :P thank you!
[01:12] <arrenlex> kaje1: Yes
[01:12] <arrenlex> !hi | dreamerdude
[01:12] <ubotu> dreamerdude: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[01:13] <kaje1> so .xprofile is called when I login to X?
[01:13] <dreamerdude> lmao, nice
[01:13] <adaptr> kaje1: no such thing AFAIK
[01:13] <puff> Anybody familiar with tiger and/or chkrootkit?
[01:13] <jrib> kaje1: yes, it should be
[01:13] <arrenlex> !ubotu > dreamerdude
[01:13] <adaptr> kaje1: there is .xinitrc
[01:13] <nerdzyboy> Could anyone help me instal rt400 drivers (ralink wifi drivers) for ubuntu with kernel version 2.6.15-28-686?
[01:14] <kaje1> that doesn't exist, do I need to create it?
[01:14] <jrib> kaje1: yes
[01:14] <^phillip> Anyone know why "System->Administration->Disks" does not exist on my fresh install of 6.10 when the docs say it should be there? https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/ch10s02.html
[01:14] <kaje1> k, thanks guys
[01:14] <kaje1> should .xinitrc be a script or (what do you call the type without an execution line?)
[01:15] <jrib> kaje1: .xprofile gets sourced, you don't need the #! line
[01:15] <kaje1> ok, thanks
[01:15] <adaptr> kaje1: it is a Run Control file (rc) - same as bashrc, and it contains strraight commands that will be executed in the context of the X session
[01:15] <adaptr> jrib: .xprofile ? never heard of that
[01:16] <sethk> kaje1, .xinitrc is generally a script.  there is a global one at /etc/X11/init/xinitrc (no dot)
[01:16] <adaptr> never seen it, neither
[01:16] <dejx> Could anybody please tell me how to connect to crypted wireless network on xubuntu (latest), encryption is wpa
[01:16] <sethk> adaptr, jrib .xprofile is a new one on me also.
[01:16] <wuilliam> ubotu: look, i installed windows 1st. and ubuntu i installed later, first was windows, i dont know why overwrite my grub.
[01:17] <adaptr> jrib: you'd better be verra sure :)
[01:17] <adaptr> wuilliam: ubotu is a bot, he won;'t converse intelligently (yet)
[01:17] <Flannel> wuilliam: that's alright.  You'll still need o reinstall grub, follow that first link for instructions
[01:17] <jwl007> when is feisty due out?
[01:17] <Flannel> jwl007: in april
[01:18] <mike234> is there any good reason to run 64bit version?
[01:18] <wuilliam> OMG im feeling soooo baaaaad, a bot helping me OMG
[01:18] <HymnToLife> the 18th, if everything goes well
[01:18] <jrib> adaptr, sethk: heh it's what I use.  I found it getting sourced in one of the gdm files once
[01:18] <wuilliam> im a sh!t
[01:18] <jwl007> thanks :)
[01:18] <Flannel> HymnToLife: 19th is what wiki says
[01:18] <sethk> mike234, generally, no
[01:18] <HymnToLife> oh, my mistake
[01:18] <soundray> wuilliam: I know you installed Ubuntu second. Anyway, to repair the system, follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[01:18] <sethk> jrib, you can of course source any file of any arbitrary name, but it doesn't happen under the covers unless it's a well known name
[01:18] <mike234> ok and is there an i686 version or only i386?
[01:18] <adaptr> jrib: ah, so gdm exclusive - bad, bad idea for an X global file...
[01:18] <Gerry_W> How would I create a separate partition for /media now that ubuntu is already installed? GParted (inside the ubuntu livecd) does not assign partitions to directories.
[01:19] <HymnToLife> separate partition for /media ?
[01:19] <Flannel> mike234: 386 version is for 686
[01:19] <adaptr> Gerry_W: no, you would be th eone to do that, as it would have to guess, which it won't (and can't)
[01:19] <HymnToLife> what's the use of it ?
[01:19] <jrib> adaptr: true, I always assumed it would get sourced otherwise but never verified that
[01:19] <adaptr> HymnToLife: who cares >? it's what he wants
[01:19] <Gerry_W> HymnToLife: it's not big enough to hold an iso of a dvd
[01:19] <Gerry_W> I'd like to enlarge it
[01:20] <lgc> Hi! How do I reset the sound server on my Dapper?
[01:20] <soundray> Gerry_W: do not /media for that
[01:20] <HymnToLife> Gerry_W, normally, you don't store anything in /media
[01:20] <adaptr> Gerry_W: it's *not* a partition now, so there is nothing to enlarge.. get you definitions straight first
[01:20] <adaptr> *your, even
[01:20] <adaptr> Gerry_W: regardless, what he said ^^^
[01:21] <Gerry_W> adaptr:well, I was thinking, since you can set partitions for /media/sd2 or whatever in the installation, that's what it meant
[01:21] <lgc> Flannel, do you know?
[01:21] <Gerry_W> adaptr:obviously, I w as wrong
[01:21] <adaptr> Gerry_W: if you want to have extra partitions, of course you'll have to make them first
[01:22] <mastermixer> hey everyone, i wanted to know the name of the font shown in this screenshot. it would be great if anyone could please tell me it's name or the name of anything really similar to it. http://www.gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=36386&file1=36386-1.jpg&file2=&file3=&name=BrushedC
[01:22] <dejx> could anybody please told me how do i connect to crypted wireless network on xubuntu (latest), encryption is wpa
[01:22] <dejx> please
[01:22] <Gerry_W> adaptr:Yes. I made one for the previous reason. But I guess it's not needed now. It's just that when I try to mount it in a folder from /home it won't work
[01:23] <Gerry_W> adaptr: it gives me an error
[01:23] <Gerry_W> adaptr: e/g /home/FolderName
[01:23] <adaptr> Gerry_W: you have to be root
[01:23] <Gerry_W> adaptr: I believe I sudo'd it
[01:23] <Gerry_W> adaptr: let me try again.
[01:23] <adaptr> what was the error ?
[01:24] <Gerry_W> adaptr:lemme check.
[01:24] <sethk> Gerry_W, the mount point must already exist.  it's simply a directory, which you create with mkdir (if it isn't already present)
[01:24] <lgc> Flannel, you mad at me?
[01:24] <godtvisken> anyone know any good music servers?
[01:25] <mackinac> problem - I cannot escape the getty terminal by ctrl-alt-F7
[01:25] <Ulti2001> does anyone know why i keep getting the blue screen of death everytime i try to use the 1.0.9 build of the nvidia-glx drivers
[01:25] <BelialMkII> Is there any known issues with the ubuntu liveCD not booting on certain laptops, im putting Ubuntu on a Fijitsu Siemans laptop, and it refuses to check the CD for defects or boot in the normal or safe graphics mode
[01:25] <Gerry_W> sethk: Hmmm. I think I assumed it would mount it somewhere automatically, like daemontools does. Ugh. I'm feeling stupid :).
[01:26] <Flannel> lgc: what?
[01:26] <sethk> Gerry_W, daemontools, IIRC, uses /service, which is typically a sym link, but it must already exist; daemontools doesn't create mount points either.
[01:26] <adaptr> Gerry_W: with reason :)
[01:26] <dejx> do i need to install wpa_supplicant if i want connect to wpa wlan ?
[01:26] <lgc> Flannel, you didn't answer...
[01:26] <adaptr> sethk: anh daemon could auto-create mount points at will , obvioulsy
[01:26] <Flannel> lgc: I was detached.  But, answer about sound?  I have no idea.
[01:27] <lgc> Flannel, I was asking if you know how to reset my sound server.
[01:27] <Flannel> !sound | lgc
[01:27] <ubotu> lgc: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[01:27] <sethk> adaptr, yes, but daemontools is a specific software package, doesn't refer to an arbitrary daemon
[01:27] <dejx> do i need to install wpa_supplicant if i want connect to wpa wlan ?
[01:27] <Gerry_W> sethk: Well, there you go again, ruining my self-confidence. :D
[01:27] <Gerry_W> adaptr: thanks for the informative remark. :)
[01:27] <adaptr> sethk: I assume it is one itself
[01:28] <adaptr> Gerry_W: come now, what's the status ?
[01:28] <lgc> Flannel, it's the thing about Flash. It was doing fine after I upgraded to Version 9, but when I started Gaim I lost the sound of the YouTube stream.
[01:28] <Gerry_W> adaptr: give me a sec. I'll try to sort things out.
[01:28] <sethk> adaptr, it uses the init subsystem, doesn't necessarily run its own daemon
[01:29] <Flannel> lgc: no idea.  I have no sound on my box
[01:29] <adaptr> sethk: ah, okay - I never used it, I'll just use loopmount myself, but can daemontools also handle cue/bin/nrg/mds ?
[01:29] <lgc> Flannel, Oh, I forgot you like barebones installations...:).
[01:29] <adaptr> *natively ?
[01:29] <sethk> adaptr, I've never tried; my guess is no
[01:29] <adaptr> sethk: then it's no easier than loopmounting :)
[01:30] <sethk> adaptr, that's a fair statement.  I wasn't pushing it, just explaining something about it.
[01:30] <dejx> how do i apt-get some file if i want to install package from disc, spec path
[01:30] <adaptr> sethk: no problem, of course - I just didn;t know it even existed on Linux - couldn't see why it should
[01:30] <dejx> apt-get install .. /path/file.deb
[01:30] <Flannel> dejx: don't apt-get it, use dpkg -i
[01:30] <dejx> thanks
[01:31] <adaptr> dejx: if it's not in a configured repo, you can't use apt
[01:31] <sethk> adaptr, daemontools is a replacement for inetd/xinetd, with somewhat better security
[01:31] <adaptr> sethk: hah, that explains much - Gerry_Wwas referring to the *Windows* program, which mounts ISO images...
[01:32] <jrib> adaptr, sethk: fwiw .xinitrc only seems to get sourced for startx, not with gdm.  And I've also found that .xsession exists as another option....
[01:32] <adaptr> jrib: yes, xsession is what a user uses, xinitrc is for the whole server - nothing new there
[01:32] <adaptr> jrib: but i can count the number of people here who share their ubuntu with multiple users on the fingers of one finger
[01:33] <adaptr> jrib: so it hardly matters
[01:33] <Zilus> anyone with a BCM4328 on a DELL b130?
[01:33] <Gerry_W> adaptr: could you clarify this, por favor? In the command "sudo mount file.iso /media/iso/ -t iso9660 -o loop," this will mount the iso in /media/iso, correct? And this will take up space in /media, correct? And how does it know where the iso is located (does it have to be placed on the desktop)? Yes, of course I was referring to the Windows program. I'm a recent convert to Ubuntu. :D
[01:33] <adaptr> Gerry_W: no, it will not take up any space
[01:33] <Gerry_W> adaptr: ah. good. therein lay my misconception.
[01:33] <bleanna_unux> How do I find the IRQ & IO of a device?
[01:33] <FreakShowTulsa> i am having a problem with ubuntu 6.10 32bit im trying to install it and when i do it says <0> Kernel panic - not syncing: attempted to kill init.
[01:33] <adaptr> Gerry_W: and you have to ipoint to the ISO file, nothing on Linux will *guess* for you
[01:34] <Gerry_W> adaptr: I suspected as much.
[01:34] <Flannel> Gerry_W: and, the original 'file.iso' should be replaced with the path to the iso file, that command assumed it was in your current directory
[01:34] <Zilus> bleanna_unux:  lshw -businfo
[01:34] <Gerry_W> adaptr, Flannel: yeah, I just realized that. Give me a break. I've only been at it a week. :D
[01:35] <FreakShowTulsa> can anyone help me?
[01:35] <adaptr> Gerry_W: mount -t iso9660  (or ufs) -o loop /path/and/file.name /mount/point <- there is no other way, no shortcut, no better way
[01:35] <Gerry_W> adaptr: yup
[01:35] <FreakShowTulsa> i am having a problem with ubuntu 6.10 32bit im trying to install it and when i do it says <0> Kernel panic - not syncing: attempted to kill init.
[01:35] <adaptr> Gerry_W: putting options before arguments is good practice in Linux, and often required, as well - so get used to it now :)
[01:35] <adaptr> FreakShowTulsa: *where*
[01:36] <CrakeHunter> hello, id like to unrar a file, but it neither "xarchive" nor "archive manager" can read them
[01:36] <adaptr> CrakeHunter: unrar, install it
[01:36] <CrakeHunter> should i install s.th.?
[01:36] <FreakShowTulsa> what do you mean by that adaptr?
[01:36] <Zilus>  CrakeHunter  aptitude intsall unrar
[01:36] <CrakeHunter> okay thanks
[01:36] <adaptr> FreakShowTulsa: what I think it exemplifies without firther elucidation: *when* do you get the panic ?
[01:36] <adaptr> bleh, need ot sleep
[01:36] <bleanna_unux> Zilus: i get "PCI@02:05.0" which is the IRQ & the IO?
[01:37] <Gerry_W> adaptr: ok, thanks
[01:37] <livingdaylight_> does ubuntu come with an ftp client by default?

[01:40] <lineman60> you want to check the BIOS
[01:40] <adaptr> FreakShowTulsa: when the menu appears, press "e'; to edit the install option, find the kernel line, press "e" again, add the words, press enter, press "b" to boot
[01:40] <GMWeezel> Is there an easier way to makes themes other than editing the text files?
[01:41] <stanley> yea the Bios is set to boot from CD first

[01:41] <stanley> yep
[01:42] <Zilus> anyone with bcm43xx working?
[01:42] <adaptr> stanley: if the windows CD does not give you the option to boot from it, it may not be bootable
[01:42] <jonathan_> mine is zilus
[01:42] <stanley> It's the same cd i've been using to format for years
[01:42] <lineman60> Zilus, depends on what you mean by working

[01:44] <shadowhywind> scarpitch there is a package you have to download to support mp3s in amaork
[01:44] <Dr_willis> shadowhywind,  tar.gz dose not support password encryption of the archive.. you could encrypt the .tar then compress it i guess...

[01:59] <roostishaw> anyone know: how can i control the fan speed of my macbook on ubuntu? (its running way to hot)
[01:59] <hossasaur> xtknight: uhm....no
[01:59] <freakshow> i push enter on start or install ubuntu and then my error occurs
[02:00] <jdiggidy> freakshow: is that what you're trying to do when you get the kernel panick?
[02:00] <The_Rebel> where do i manage startup scripts and commands?
[02:00] <tempubun> roostishaw: stick you finger into the fan, works for my kids
[02:00] <xtknight> hossasaur: are you making the folders on a read only file system?
[02:00] <roostishaw> tempubun: tried that
[02:00] <hossasaur> xtknight: no
[02:00] <hossasaur> xtknight: rw
[02:00] <roostishaw> tempubun: now there's blood all my macbook
[02:00] <tempubun> roostishaw: haha
[02:00] <roostishaw> :/
[02:00] <freakshow> i try to start ubuntu to install then it says Kernel Panic - not syncing attempted to kill init
[02:00] <tempubun> roostishaw: are running ubuntu-ppc?
[02:00] <jdiggidy> freakshow:  I wonder if you didn't get a bad download.
[02:00] <Dr_willis> freakshow,  and where did this cd come from?
[02:00] <Gibbs> Is it possible to rebind CTRL-ALT-F1 to something else?
[02:01] <XiXaQ> The_Rebel, depends :) If you just want to start an application when you log in, you can use System > Preferences > Sessions
[02:01] <roostishaw> tempubun: no. normal. should i be?
[02:01] <xtknight> hossasaur: anything other than the usual?  just making folders on a regular file system (like an ext3 HD mounted as rw) and they are coming up RO for your user?  what is the exact permission string shown for a newly-created folder of yours?
[02:01] <tieTYT2> yesterday i could see my screensaver but today if i lock the screen the screen just turns black and a screensaver never shows up
[02:01] <freakshow> ive downloaded it 4 different times
[02:01] <tempubun> roostishaw: no, just asking
[02:01] <tieTYT2> does anyone know what could cause that?
[02:01] <freakshow> from different servers
[02:01] <kungfugoat> I'm running 6.1 and whenever I try to switch to a console (CTRL-ALT-F1) from X, my screen gets corrupted
[02:01] <jdiggidy> freakshow:  from the ubuntu mirrors?
[02:01] <hossasaur> xtknight: for instance, one of the folders was created on my desktop.  for some reason it's read-only now.
[02:01] <XiXaQ> Gibbs, System > Preferences > Keyboard shortcuts
[02:01] <freakshow> Yes
[02:01] <ingrix> Royel: thank you for your help.  It's much appreciated
[02:01] <tempubun> you said a macbook, must be one of them new ones eh? with the intel chip
[02:01] <kungfugoat> what gives?
[02:01] <The_Rebel> when i add commands to sessions it doesnt work.. mostly due to needing root
[02:01] <xtknight> hossasaur: how did you create that desktop folder?
[02:01] <jdiggidy> freakshow:  have you tried a different disk?
[02:01] <shorty114> tempubun, all macbooks have intel...
[02:01] <roostishaw> tempubun: ok... do you know how to control it by chance?
[02:01] <hossasaur> xtknight: i don't remember off hand, but i think from the terminal using "mkdir xxx"
[02:02] <kungfugoat> where's the inittab file?
[02:02] <tempubun> shorty114: k, ta, wouldn't know, only have iStuff
[02:02] <freakshow> i dont have a a 6.10 disk i downloaded it and burnt it to an .iso file then i boot to cd
[02:02] <xtknight> hossasaur: and you're sure it wasn't 'sudo mkdir', right?
[02:02] <Gibbs> XiXaQ the bind for CTRL-ALT-F1 (or command) isn't listed there...
[02:02] <hossasaur> xtknight: it could have been
[02:02] <shorty114> tempubun, yeah, apple made it kind of confusing
[02:02] <Dr_willis> freakshow,  could try burning the cd at 1x speed..  (i hear that can help) bit ive enver had problems with the stuff
[02:02] <tempubun> roostishaw: i'll have a look
[02:02] <hossasaur> xtknight: i made the dir a few days ago
[02:02] <jdiggidy> freakshow:  right.  I meant did you try burning to a different disk?
[02:02] <xtknight> hossasaur: alright.  well, when you create folders with sudo the owner is root
[02:02] <freakshow> yes 4 different times
[02:02] <tempubun> can every slow down typing, i can't read this fast ... 8-)
[02:03] <hossasaur> xtknight: so i'd have to change ownership of the folder?
[02:03] <xtknight> hossasaur: and by default the permissions are that root has rw and others have only ro to that.
[02:03] <Dr_willis> freakshow,  also try differnet cd burning software. like 'burnatonce' - you COULD also install vmware server, and try booting the .iso files to verify they work
[02:03] <xtknight> hossasaur: no, actually
[02:03] <XiXaQ> Gibbs, does CTRL+ALT+F1 do anything special by default?
[02:03] <jdiggidy> freakshow:  4 different disks?
[02:03] <roostishaw> tempubun: cool. thanks. all I have found is this: http://www.jasonparekh.com/?page_id=9 (didnt work, obviously)
[02:03] <xtknight> hossasaur: you can keep the owner as root and then under root set the permissions to the folder so that OTHERS can read/write also
[02:03] <kungfugoat> how would I use find to search for a file in a certain directory?
[02:03] <jdiggidy> freakshow:  I'm not trying to ask the same question over and over, really.
[02:03] <hossasaur> xtknight: how do you do that? i started using linux again for the first time in 10 years just a week ago
[02:03] <freakshow> i have ubuntu 6.06 cd but i have to find it i've never had this problem before
[02:03] <xtknight> hossasaur: but you could also just change ownership to your user if you wanted.  if it's on YOUR desktop, i think the owner should be YOU
[02:03] <Gibbs> XiXaQ, yes it closes X Server and goes to the shell terminal
[02:03] <^phillip> Anyone know how to disable window animations?
[02:04] <imbecile_> can someone tell me where NX connection wizard should be? :/
[02:04] <Dr_willis> ^phillip,  i recall researching that ages ago.. and never did find a good answer.
[02:04] <Dr_willis> :)
[02:04] <hossasaur> xtknight: i'm the only user on the machine, just ubuntu automatically doesn't allow you to be root in the gui
[02:04] <^phillip> I'll have to do some digging.
[02:04] <jdiggidy> freakshow:  It sounds like a bad download, or a bad image, but I've never gotten a bad image from the ubuntu mirrors.
[02:04] <freakshow> yes ive tryed different burning software and ive burnt it 2 twice from my dvd burner and twice from my cd-rom burner
[02:04] <xtknight> hossasaur: to make yourself the owner: `sudo chown -R yourname folder`  (this will recursively set the owner of that specified folder to yourname).  or, you can set OTHERS so they can read/write the folder: `sudo chmod -R 777 folder`
[02:05] <freakshow> i dont see why it does this 6.06 didnt do this
[02:05] <hossasaur> xtknight: thank you
[02:05] <Blacken> Well, I managed to hose NTLDR when installing Linux next to Windows. (There were two separate Windows installs, 32-bit and 64-bit, and I overwrote the 32-bit one that had NTLDR on the hard drive...sigh). Is there a way on Linux to see drives/partitions the way boot.ini's loader would (i.e. multi(0)disk(0)...)?
[02:05] <XiXaQ> Gibbs, oh.. Sorry, I keep forgetting. I'm using NX, so some shortkeys are disabled.
[02:05] <hossasaur> xtknight: will that result in ownership of all subfolders as well?
[02:05] <Blacken> It's not as simple as hda/hdb, as one drive is SATA and the other IDE.
[02:05] <Dr_willis> freakshow,  could try the Feisty Fawn Live cd/alternative cds
[02:05] <xtknight> hossasaur: all subfolders and all files within those and those dirs and those and those..etc...everything under it
[02:06] <Dr_willis> freakshow,  but thats in testing right now.. so it may be less then reliable
[02:06] <jdiggidy> freakshow:  6.10 hasn't done this for many people, either.  Out of curiosity, is it a torrent or the full iso?
[02:06] <hossasaur> xtknight: ok, how about folders on a mounted fat partition?
[02:06] <xtknight> hossasaur: in the future just create the folders in a non root mode to have ownership default to your own user.  in other words, don't do sudo mkdir xxx or sudo -H -s; mkdir xx
[02:06] <freakshow> ok ill try it but i think i will just install 6.06 back on it
[02:06] <freakshow> the FULL iso
[02:06] <xtknight> hossasaur: what types of problems are you having on the fat partition?
[02:07] <jdiggidy> freakshow:  if you install 6.06 back on, you can sudo apt-get install dist upgrade to 6.10 and it should work fine.
[02:07] <freakshow> ok
[02:07] <hossasaur> xtknight: it's odd, the folders are all read-only, yet i can create subfolders in them
[02:07] <freakshow> ill do that lol thank you so much jdiggidy
[02:07] <jdiggidy> freakshow:  sorry, I gave the wrong command.  I think it's apt-get dist upgrade, no install.
[02:07] <freakshow> bye
[02:07] <tempubun> roostishaw: http://81.169.182.62/~eidac/software/page5/page5.html
[02:07] <Flannel> jdiggidy, freakshow, that's not the command ;)  but yeah, you can install 6.06 and upgrade easily enough
[02:07] <freakshow> ok
[02:07] <tempubun> closest thing so far
[02:08] <xtknight> hossasaur: you need to set the usermask to the inverse of what you want the permissions to be.   7777-xxxx = umask.  if you want 7777 perms (execute+write+read for all users) then your umask will be 0022
[02:08] <roostishaw> tempubun: ...
[02:08] <Flannel> jdiggidy, freakshow, update-manager is the preferred method
[02:08] <freakshow> k peace im out bye
[02:08] <roostishaw> tempubun: isn't that for os x?
[02:08] <jdiggidy> Flannel:  I realized it was the wrong command after I typed it, but still can't remember, what was it again?
[02:08] <xtknight> hossasaur: umask is set in the options for that mount point under fstab
[02:08] <Flannel> jdiggidy: gksudo update-manager -c
[02:08] <tempubun> roostishaw: is but it may be ported to linux, i'm looking
[02:08] <jdiggidy> Flannel, yeah,  that's right. Thanks for the reminder.
[02:08] <hossasaur> xtknight: i think i get you, let me check it out
[02:08] <roostishaw> tempubun: oh, ok.

[02:10] <xtknight> hossasaur: well right now it looks like users have very few perms
[02:10] <xtknight> hossasaur: set umask=0022 (or 022) and see what happens
[02:11] <Kervan> Hello. I am using Thunderbird to read my mails. But I have problem when I click the links, that is in mail, Konqueror opens the links. How can i open them with firefox?
[02:11] <hossasaur> xtknight: thanks, is there a way to umount/mount to test?
[02:11] <Twigman> hi Guys..
[02:11] <Twigman> Does anyone know if there is an issue with evolution in the current version of feisty?
[02:11] <xtknight> hossasaur: [{ sudo umount /dev/blkdev } or { sudo umount /mount/point }]  && sudo mount -a
[02:11] <tempubun> roostishaw: dual boot ubuntu/that other system or ubuntu 100%?
[02:11] <Twigman> My 'send / receive' button is permanently greyed out..
[02:11] <tiredbones_> When I try to play an mp4 file I get this error on totem, "You do not have a decoder installed to handle this file. You might need to install the necessary plugins.".  When I try to add this plugin from syndaptic, "totem-gstreamer-firefox-plugin:" . I get message from synaptic. "Depends: totem-gstreamer (=1.4.1-0ubuntu4) but 1.4.3-0ubuntu1 is to be installed". What should I do?
[02:12] <Twigman> I'm ... unable to get mail :-\
[02:12] <Twigman> I've even tried killing off gconf for evo completely and removing the .evo files..
[02:12] <roostishaw> tempubun: osx and ubuntu with bootcamp
[02:12] <roostishaw> tempubun: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook <--- used that
[02:12] <tempubun> roostishaw: k
[02:12] <XiXaQ> tiredbones_, answer ok?
[02:13] <hossasaur> xtknight: thanks, but i guess i have to wait til reboot, i forgot i'm using the drive for bittorrent
[02:13] <tomzone> hiall
[02:13] <hossasaur> xtknight: thanks for the help
[02:13] <xtknight> hossasaur: no problem
[02:13] <XiXaQ> tiredbones_, oh.. Have you added all repositories?
[02:13] <tiredbones_> XiXaQ, there is no place to answer ok.
[02:14] <Flannel> Kervan: assuming thunderbird does the right thing (call x-www-browser), sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser
[02:14] <Quintin> I've got a serious problem whenever I click my power bu
[02:14] <Twigman> and... I've been through ubuntu :/
[02:14] <xtknight> tiredbones_: have you added external repositories to your Ubuntu?
[02:14] <kaje1> well, still no love... I put it into .xsession and that just made my login crash...
[02:14] <Flannel> Twigman: #ubuntu+1 for feisty support
[02:14] <xtknight> tiredbones_: and are you using ubuntu dapper or edgy?
[02:14] <Twigman> Flannel, thanks :)
[02:14] <hossasaur> xtknight: ubuntu makes the full transition from microsoft feasible for most, which is much different than 10 years ago
[02:14] <tiredbones_> XiXaQ, how to add all repositories? dapper
[02:15] <xtknight> hossasaur: indeed
[02:15] <Quintin> Whenever I click the power button in upper right, I get "your session has been saved" instead of the normal dialog.  how do I fix this?
[02:15] <xtknight> !universe | tiredbones_
[02:15] <ubotu> tiredbones_: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[02:15] <xtknight> !repositories
[02:15] <kaje1> does anyone know for sure what rc file is run when a user logs into gdm? or starts X? or something similar?

[02:16] <Quintin> livingdaylight_: PING
[02:16] <The_Rebel> can i use rc.local for starting my wireless card up using iwconfig?
[02:16] <Dr_willis> kaje1,  .xsession is ran by a specific  GDM 'entry' I belive.. in many disrtos.. not in addation to other login sessions.
[02:16] <kaje1> sorry, I should have explained more... I trying to get my .bash_profile sourced so I can pick up some aliases and my correct path...
[02:16] <viator> will ubuntu be using openid
[02:16] <tempubun> roostishaw: this link is dead, but you are after MacBook SMC Frimware Update => http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macbooksmcfirmwareupdate.html
[02:16] <xtknight> .Xsession is run by the X window system
[02:16] <viator> for the forums etc
[02:16] <hossasaur> xtknight: is there a way to set up grub to choose between different linux gui's, say between gnome and kde?
[02:16] <viator> anytime soon
[02:17] <livingdaylight_> hey, Quintin
[02:17] <Dr_willis> kaje1,  perhaps put them in your .bashrc instead of .bash_profile
[02:17] <Kervan> Flannel: i have sellected firefox from list but no browser opening now
[02:17] <Flannel> hossasaur: er, grub?  You do that at GDM/KDM
[02:17] <xtknight> hossasaur: that's not grub's job.  you can use a window manager to change between gnome and kde
[02:17] <roostishaw> tempubun: why?
[02:17] <hossasaur> xtknight: alright, thanks
[02:17] <tempubun> cos they reckon it is what allows your system to make your fan run faster/more often etc
[02:17] <roostishaw> tempubun: i have the updater installed, im on os x now. it told me i have the latest version
[02:17] <kaje1> Dr_willis: doesn't that run when I start a bash session? I need those paths to be in place for shortcuts to work
[02:18] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, i'm using uttorrent with wine now :p
[02:18] <tempubun> haha, whoops, you are on your own then, sorry couldn't be more helpful
[02:18] <boricua> is there a channel for feisty
[02:18] <roostishaw> alright
[02:18] <Quintin> livingdaylight_: I just quit using that..
[02:18] <Flannel> boricua: #ubuntu+1
[02:18] <Quintin> boricua: #ubuntu+1
[02:18] <roostishaw> tempubun: thanks anyway! :)
[02:18] <tempubun> roostishaw: be bold and trash OSX
[02:18] <roostishaw> tempubun: nawww
[02:18] <tempubun> roostishaw: k, np
[02:18] <Quintin> tempubun: osx > ubuntu
[02:18] <roostishaw> tempubun: well, get this to work and i might
[02:19] <roostishaw> tempubun: but i cant burn my lap every time i use ubuntu
[02:19] <Dr_willis> kaje1,  one way to find out.. i think that the .bashrc gets read from the initial X stuff.. never had to mess with it much.
[02:19] <tempubun> roostishaw: indeed
[02:19] <viator> i have a few macs  i think ubuntu is a much better product
[02:19] <viator> than osx
[02:19] <Dr_willis> kaje1,  it has entrys in there to set the paths.. expand on them and see if it works.
[02:19] <tempubun> me too
[02:19] <kaje1> Dr_willis: ok, i'll try bashrc... what has entries for paths?
[02:19] <tempubun> pretty hardware, runs better with *nix
[02:19] <viator> the only thing mac has on ubuntu is shockwave and photoshop
[02:19] <roostishaw> viator: it runs way too hot though
[02:20] <abo> I have a problem with firefox video plugins, anyone can help?
[02:20] <roostishaw> viator: and the whole reliability and ease of use thing
[02:20] <roostishaw> :D
[02:20] <quixote171> Anyone about want to help a noob with some wireless issues?
[02:20] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, osx>ubuntu ? :o !!!
[02:20] <viator> well i dont find the mac easier to use
[02:20] <Dr_willis> kaje1,  .bashrc i think has a line or 2 to set the path . but mine is so customized.
[02:20] <viator> or more reliable
[02:20] <roostishaw> heh, ok.
[02:20] <roostishaw> we shall agree to disagree
[02:21] <viator> actually the thing loses connection to the router all the time
[02:21] <viator> and safari locks up
[02:21] <Quintin> livingdaylight_: sure
[02:21] <roostishaw> and it doesnt in ubuntu?
[02:21] <viator> continually
[02:21] <F-nkyMNK> yay! My ubuntu 6.06 free CDs arrived in the mail! Now I'll have to find some people to hand them out to :)
[02:21] <roostishaw> send it in for repairs
[02:21] <viator> its not hardware
[02:21] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, then why are we using ubuntu?
[02:21] <viator> its software
[02:21] <Quintin> F-nkyMNK: Make sure their computers have at least 512m of ram.
[02:22] <F-nkyMNK> no probs
[02:22] <viator> and its not omthing i did its the way the crew at apple wrote it
[02:22] <Quintin> livingdaylight_: good question.. I'm gonna install macosx on my p4 now, be back in 30m
[02:22] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, because we can't afford Apple?
[02:22] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, wow...you lucky thing
[02:22] <tempubun> haha, first reboot after first upgrade on iBook ...
[02:22] <Quintin> livingdaylight_: cause I have osx, or a p4?  ;)
[02:23] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, don't rub it in... :s
[02:23] <kaje1> On an entirely different topic... I installed sshd and expected to see it in the Services config app, but no luck... What is the "approved" way to make sshd start on boot in Ubuntu?
[02:23] <Quintin> livingdaylight_: aww
[02:23] <Quintin> kaje1: apt-get install openssh-server
[02:23] <roostishaw> viator: do you know how to "fix" ubuntu (:D) and get it to control my fan speed?
[02:23] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, ^^
[02:23] <viator> roost it "just works" for me
[02:23] <sprok> is there anyway to scroll in terminal apps like less with the mouse wheel? :-)
[02:24] <tschak1> got a problem installing ubuntu. i was starting the live cd and clicked install, but nothing happend. tried to copy n paste the command into cmd line, when i did, it told me (caused by gksudo --desktop %k) that desktop cant be found. when im running "sudo ubiquity gtkui" there is just no return...any guesses? btw, its an xubuntu live cd, 6.06
[02:24] <Quintin> livingdaylight_: my 'new' computer is a p4/ht ... the other one I was using was an old piii .. but both are stupidly fast compared to what I had when I first started
[02:24] <viator> there was somthing about that on the forums
[02:24] <viator> though
[02:24] <roostishaw> viator: cool. so you dont know how... or where i could look?
[02:24] <kaje1> Quintin: I already have it installed, it isn't starting on boot though
[02:24] <roostishaw> oh...
[02:24] <dhorn> Does anyone know anything about task bar managers?
[02:24] <tempubun> my home gateway/router is a compaq p166
[02:24] <roostishaw> i didnt see it
[02:24] <Quintin> kaje1: what does /etc/init.d/sshd start do ?
[02:25] <viator> is it a macbook?
[02:25] <kaje1> Quintin: nm, I got it worked out, thanks for the help
[02:25] <dhorn> Does anyone know anything about task bar managers?
[02:25] <tschak1> if ur talking to me viator, no its not
[02:26] <roostishaw> viator: yes. "first" generation
[02:26] <tschak1> k ^^
[02:26] <nickf> howdy folks, is this a sensible place to ask about boot-related problems?
[02:26] <ebe-1> I am installing a wireless network card. I am on a windows machine here, and I need to get the package "linux-headers-2.6.17-11-server". Where can I get it from? I'll pop it on a CD and load it onto my ubuntu box.
[02:26] <Flannel> nickf: yep
[02:26] <HymnToLife> ebe-1, they should be on your ubuntu cd
[02:26] <HymnToLife> just apt-get them
[02:27] <Talaman> hello
[02:27] <sc4ttrbrain> is there any solution to get write access to hfs+ partition(mac os x journaled)  ?
[02:27] <tempubun> where does one find the location for the startup music/sunds in ubuntu?
[02:27] <HymnToLife> ebe-1, if they aren't, you can get the package from http://packages.ubuntu.com
[02:27] <Talaman_> hi
[02:27] <ebe-1> how do i use the cdrom as an apt-get source?
[02:27] <nickf> ah cool - I'm dual booting windows xp & feisty, both installed on a SATA drive, although I think grub is in the MBR on my IDE drive
[02:27] <tempubun> sounds*
[02:27] <tempubun> nickf: by default it will be in MBR
[02:28] <HymnToLife> ebe-1, IIRC, it should be used by default - look in your sources.list
[02:28] <HymnToLife> if it's not,   sudo apt-cdrom add
[02:28] <royel> tschaka: have you tried asking in #xubuntu ?
[02:28] <nickf> I installed windows 2nd, so naturally it trashed grub - after some messing around I managed to get grub back in MBR on the ide drive, but now I can't use grub to boot windows
[02:28] <Flannel> !grub | nickf
[02:28] <ubotu> nickf: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[02:28] <tschaka> royel not yet, i'll give a pure ubuntu cd a try
[02:29] <Flannel> nickf: that'll reinstall grub, which should autodetect windows
[02:29] <Talaman> how would i make sourceforge a repository?
[02:29] <tempubun> nickf: oh dear! *always* put winxp in first, once complete run a full scandisk/defrag to make it tidy, then isntall *nix
[02:29] <HymnToLife> Talaman, you don't
[02:29] <tempubun> you might have to redo grub
[02:29] <royel> tschaka: I meant, you might try asking your question in the Xubuntu support channel also, it's #xubuntu
[02:29] <cor1> i need help
[02:29] <nickf> actually reinstall grub? as in make it redetect things?
[02:30] <cor1> i cant upgrade drapper to edgy
[02:30] <HymnToLife> !ask | cor1
[02:30] <ubotu> cor1: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:30] <Talaman> why not?
[02:30] <HymnToLife> !edgy | cor1
[02:30] <ubotu> cor1: Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) is the latest version of Ubuntu. Upgrading to Edgy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades - Downloading: http://www.ubuntu.com/download - Release Notes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseNotes
[02:30] <tempubun> well if you go to the install docs, you should see a section on the boot manager and there should be info on howto redo grub
[02:30] <HymnToLife> cor1, what's your problem ?
[02:30] <tiredbones_> Do I have to mark which repoitory to use when using synaptic?
[02:30] <viator> maybe grab a new kernel
[02:30] <viator> will help
[02:30] <roostishaw> viator: where
[02:30] <roostishaw> ?
[02:30] <jobu25> Does anyone have any experience with printers in Ubuntu? Mine won't print from the terminal
[02:30] <viator> since they added alot of mactel stuff
[02:30] <tschaka> royel yeah i know, i'll try with an ubuntu cd, to see if its a general problem, after that i'll ask in the according channel, thx anyway :)
[02:30] <cor1> i cant upgrade through terminal or update manager to edgy
[02:30] <viator> let me see of i can find somthing easier todo
[02:30] <HymnToLife> tiredbones_, no, just manage them directly in your sources.list
[02:30] <roostishaw> viator: how? and where? and will it screw up everything i have?
[02:30] <royel> tschaka: sorry couldnt do anymore for you
[02:30] <roostishaw> viator: ok, cool
[02:31] <tempubun> nickf: did you see the link from ubuto up above?
[02:31] <nickf> yeah - looks like what I did
[02:31] <royel> tschaka: I'm guessing you at least gave it a 2nd boot on the current LiveCD
[02:31] <Flannel> nickf: if you're using a feisty CD to do that, you should ask in #ubuntu+1, which is the feisty support channel, feisty might have bugs in detecting windows
[02:31] <Explosif> hey all is my WEP key stored anywhere on my computer that I can read it?
[02:32] <tiredbones_> HymnToLife, well I update the list and I'm still getting the same erros when trying to in stall a plugin for Totem.
[02:32] <ebe-1> how can i delete all my apt-get sources? its still trying to resolve a web address
[02:32] <HymnToLife> tiredbones_, which error ?
[02:32] <HymnToLife> ebe-1, sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:32] <nickf> well it didnt seem to actually change my menu.lst, the windows entry was left a previous (Edgy) install
[02:32] <HymnToLife> delete - or comment out - alll the urls
[02:32] <P4ndaman> Hello everyone, I am having problems booting ubuntu linux...  I believe it is because I have an x850xt.
[02:32] <P4ndaman> this is for the first time
[02:32] <Talaman> anyone know any good third party repositories?
[02:32] <tschaka> royel i did, as well as x restart ;) found an ubuntu cd some moments ago, i'll try now :]  doenst want to install xfce on the machine anyway, its just been the first cd i found :D
[02:33] <HymnToLife> Talaman, to install what ?
[02:33] <nickf> I think the problem is either because it's a SATA drive, or that I overwrote the windows bootloader when trying to reinstall grub
[02:33] <Flannel> nickf: so, what error do you get when trying to boot windows then (after selecting it from grub)?
[02:33] <NotKubota> Should I change the jumper on the back of a cd-rom drive with a pair of needle nose pliars?
[02:33] <royel> tschaka: well good luck with Ubuntu :)
[02:33] <cor1> I CANT UPGRADE TO EDGY PLEASE IM ME TO TELL ME
[02:33] <nickf> I think it says that it can't find a bootloader
[02:33] <sethk> nickf, you are supposed to overwrite the windows boot loader, so why's that a problem?
[02:33] <Talaman> to install anything...mainly games though
[02:33] <Flannel> nickf: GRUB doesn't use the windows bootloader to boot windows, it takes the place of the windows bootloader
[02:33] <fevel> hey guys
[02:33] <tiredbones_> HymnToLife, this error --totem-gstreamer-firefox-plugin: Depends: totem-gstreamer (=1.4.1-0ubuntu4) but 1.4.3-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
[02:33] <royel> !shout | cor1
[02:33] <ubotu> cor1: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[02:33] <nickf> it does?
[02:33] <tschaka> royel thx, will be my third machine running ubuntu ;)
[02:34] <nickf> I assumed grub launched the windows bootloader?
[02:34] <HymnToLife> tiredbones_, running Edgy or Dapper ?
[02:34] <NotKubota> Should I change the jumper on the back of a cd-rom drive with a pair of needle nose pliars?
[02:34] <Quintin> nickf: wrong
[02:34] <Flannel> nickf: nope.  it loads windows as the bootloader does
[02:34] <Quintin> NotKubota: change it with your finger
[02:34] <fevel> I get an error opening dvx in mplayer, it gives a fatal error initilializing the selected video_out (-vo)device
[02:34] <sethk> nickf, no
[02:34] <tiredbones_> HymnToLife, dapper
[02:34] <fevel> any ideas?
[02:34] <Quintin> fevel: then change it, ffs
[02:34] <sethk> nickf, the piece of windows that grub passes control to isn't the boot loader
[02:34] <nickf> ok, so I guess that's not my problem then :)
[02:34] <cor1> i cant upgrade from drapper to edgy nno matter what i do i did sudo apt-get upgrade and i tryed threw update manager nether of those works
[02:34] <sethk> nickf, it's the o/s loader.
[02:34] <EdgEy> dist-upgrade?
[02:35] <fevel> Quintin, in preferences?
[02:35] <Flannel> cor1: pastebin your sources.list
[02:35] <cor1> tryed dont work
[02:35] <sethk> nickf, sounds like your grub install is messed up, and you need to reinstall grub
[02:35] <Quintin> fevel: yes.  you probably want xv
[02:35] <cypherdelic> hey officials, will there be a restricted modules package for the 2.6.17-50 kernel soon?
[02:35] <P4ndaman> does anyone know how to boot 6.10 if one has a ati radeon x850xt (it seems that I need to install a special driver of some sort)
[02:35] <underdog5004> I'm having trouble getting my IBM thinkpad R31 online through wireless. I have an Intersil Corporation Prism 2.5 WaveLan chipset (rev 01), but it looks like it's being detected as a wired connection  (as seen through System->Administration->Networking.
[02:35] <underdog5004> help?
[02:35] <Quintin> P4ndaman: tried alternate install disc?
[02:35] <HymnToLife> tiredbones_, that's really weird... could you pastebin your sources.list ?
[02:35] <underdog5004> I'm running edgy
[02:35] <fevel> Quintin, thank you!
[02:35] <sethk> P4ndaman, you don't need a special driver to boot.  Only to get accelerated graphics
[02:35] <Quintin> fevel: you're welcome
[02:35] <P4ndaman> no i haven't, do you think that would solve the problem?\
[02:36] <sethk> P4ndaman, if you are installing, try the text mode install on the alternate cd
[02:36] <sethk> P4ndaman, should work, yes
[02:36] <P4ndaman> ok
[02:36] <tiredbones_> HymnToLife, sure give a second
[02:36] <P4ndaman> thanks
[02:36] <cypherdelic> hey what about kernel 2.6.17-50 and restricted modules, anybody knows??
[02:36] <nickf> sethk, I've done the root & setup stuff like on that howto
[02:36] <sethk> nickf, did you say it's an sata drive?
[02:36] <Flannel> nickf: so, what error do you get trying to boot windows?
[02:36] <underdog5004> The funny thing is, it was working before I updated...It was working from a vanilla install...
[02:37] <tiredbones_> HymnToLife, where is located????
[02:37] <cypherdelic> how to get the nvidia driver to work with that kernel?
[02:37] <cor1> cant upgrade

[02:37] <cor1> what does that
[02:37] <cor1> mean
[02:38] <cypherdelic> nobody knows :(
[02:38] <cypherdelic> i would like to switch to that new kernel
[02:38] <Flannel> cor1: open up /etc/apt/sources.list, copy all the text, and paste it to the pastebin

[02:38] <toma> i cant get my nvidia module to load. is there something weird with the current release?
[02:38] <verma> hello people, what is that menu tool, that shows fish-eye menus like Mac?
[02:38] <royel> .ignore cor1
[02:38] <royel> doh
[02:39] <underdog5004> iwconfig says that lo, irda0, wlan0, eth0, and sit0 all have "no wireless extensions."
[02:39] <toma> im using ubuntu kernal and ubuntu nvidia packages
[02:39] <cypherdelic> timo what version of kernel?
[02:39] <cypherdelic> toma
[02:39] <Crushi> peace
[02:40] <tiredbones_> cd /rtc/apt
[02:40] <Dragon43> Good evening everyone.
[02:40] <Crushi> hi
[02:40] <cypherdelic> did anyone tried 2.6.17-50 kernel?
[02:40] <Pelo> what's so good about it ?
[02:40] <Dragon43> Not sure LOL  I just got here.
[02:40] <CientificoLoco> how can I rip .mp3 with song juicer?
[02:40] <Flannel> CientificoLoco: you need to install mp3 codecs
[02:41] <Quintin> CientificoLoco: mp3 is deprecated.
[02:41] <Toma-> Sorry, my connection droppped. So does the nvidia module still work? Its stopped loading on both my PC's
[02:41] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, that was fast
[02:41] <jrib> CientificoLoco: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=295698
[02:41] <Dragon43> Anyone willing to answer a few 'new guy' questions tonight?
[02:41] <Quintin> livingdaylight_: what's that?
[02:41] <sethk> Toma-, still works for me, haven't heard otherwise.
[02:41] <cypherdelic> toma: have you installed nvidia-glx and linux-restrictedmodules?
[02:42] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, installing osx
[02:42] <jrib> Dragon43: just ask
[02:42] <sethk> Dragon43, ask a question and find out.
[02:42] <Toma-> sethk: ok thanks
[02:42] <CientificoLoco> jrib, thanks
[02:42] <Toma-> cypherdelic: yes.
[02:42] <Quintin> livingdaylight_: ja.  my computer is fast <3
[02:42] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, seriously?
[02:42] <Dragon43> Okay will type a bit.
[02:42] <Quintin> livingdaylight_: yep
[02:42] <Crushi> boring^^
[02:42] <cypherdelic> toma: then edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and switch to driver "nvidia" instead of "nv" in Device Section and reboot, should work!

[02:44] <underdog5004> I'm having trouble getting my IBM thinkpad R31 online through wireless. I have an Intersil Corporation Prism 2.5 WaveLan chipset (rev 01), but it looks like it's being detected as a wired connection  (as seen through System->Administration->Networking.
[02:44] <underdog5004> help?
[02:44] <underdog5004> I'm running edgy
[02:44] <viator> hmm sorrt roost
[02:44] <underdog5004> The funny thing is, it was working before I updated...It was working from a vanilla install...
[02:44] <viator> was busy
[02:44] <underdog5004> iwconfig says that lo, irda0, wlan0, eth0, and sit0 all have "no wireless extensions."

[02:44] <CientificoLoco> Quintin, I live in a country when we can use mp3 freely
[02:44] <cypherdelic> toma: did you do that, too?
[02:44] <Toma-> Well, all i see in Xorg.0.log is "Failed to load nvidia", no other error messages. I try to modprobe nvidia and not even that gives me a reason why it wont work. nothing in dmesg either...

[02:44] <ubotu> underdog5004: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[02:44] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, bist du deutscher oder wie_
[02:44] <sethk> underdog5004, the laptop has both a wired interface and the wireless interface.  the wired interface is just a distraction if you are trying to get the wireless up
[02:45] <cypherdelic> livingdaylight_, du bist nicht allein :)
[02:45] <Toma-> cypherdelic: its been set up for the better part of 2 years. Ive been using it for about 6 :)
[02:45] <SpudDogg> I keep getting errors when DVD::rip gets to the transcode stage.  "Output: te: Broken pipe syncinfo write error (0) write: Broken pipe"  Any ideas?
[02:45] <Quintin> CientificoLoco: this doesn't change the fact that mp3 is useless crap.  it's like ten years old.
[02:45] <Quintin> livingdaylight_: ja
[02:45] <underdog5004> sethk, I know, but Network is not detecting _any_ wireless connections/adapter
[02:45] <underdog5004> s
[02:45] <Toma-> cypherdelic: the real question i guess, is why the heck doesnt it give me any debug info?!
[02:45] <Frogzoo> SpudDogg: full disk ?
[02:45] <roostishaw> viator: oooo. interesting. how do i apply the patch?
[02:45] <livingdaylight_> cypherdelic, haha
[02:45] <roostishaw> viator: just    patch patchname     ?
[02:46] <Pelo> CientificoLoco,  doesn'T mean that soundjuicer will rip to mp3, I don't think soundjuicer cares where you live,  you'll have to find a prog that rips to mp3 or find something to convert to mp3
[02:46] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, haha, Ach iwo!
[02:46] <sethk> underdog5004, i know, I just wanted to make sure you didn't believe what you said, which is that it is detecting the wireless as if it were wired.  that's not happening.
[02:46] <cypherdelic> Toma-, what kind of debug info you are talking about
[02:46] <cypherdelic> toma: then edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and switch to driver "nvidia" instead of "nv" in Device Section and reboot, should work!
[02:46] <cypherdelic> have you done this?
[02:46] <underdog5004> sethk, ah, ok.
[02:46] <SpudDogg> Frogzoo, nope...not even close
[02:46] <Toma-> cypherdelic: obviously.
[02:46] <verma> in my xorg.conf .. I see the Layout section with this line ... Screen      0  "aticonfig-Screen[0] " 0 0 .. is that "0" before my screen identifier normal?
[02:46] <Toma-> cypherdelic: im talking about the reason why the module wont get loaded... xorg.log doesnt say anything and neither does dmesg
[02:46] <candyban> Hi guys and girls
[02:46] <sethk> underdog5004, the obvious things first; the interface works?  do we know?  if it dual boots and runs in windows, e.g., that would show that it's operational
[02:47] <cypherdelic> xorg doesnt log any kernel modules ;) Toma-
[02:47] <candyban> How can I install ubuntu with my root partition on dmraid? (feisty alternative)
[02:47] <underdog5004> It works, it worked when I first installed edgy, but not after all the updates.
[02:47] <viator> yes
[02:47] <edlund> hello what is the chan name for the swedish chan?
[02:47] <cypherdelic> Toma-, it logs it if you change the driver in that config: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:47] <Flannel> candyban: #ubuntu+1 for feisty support
[02:47] <Toma-> cypherdelic: yeh, but i was hoping it would give me some sort of useful info :/
[02:48] <roostishaw> viator: and: is that command right under it one line?
[02:48] <roostishaw> viator: or 2?
[02:48] <sethk> underdog5004, ah, ok.  If you can boot edgy, still, do so and do    lsmod   and find out what modules are loaded.
[02:48] <Toma-> cypherdelic: i know i can get the display back using nv instead of nvidia.
[02:48] <underdog5004> ok h/o
[02:48] <cypherdelic> Toma-, so nvidia does not work, you didnt say that
[02:48] <candyban> Flannel: I don't mind as long as I can install ... I have feisty alternative and edgy (normal)
[02:48] <Toma-> cypherdelic: oh ok, sorry.... thought it was the first thing i said
[02:49] <Toma-> ive tried reinstalling the nvidia-glx package, reconfiguring it, and so on aswell
[02:49] <Dragon43> Been using 'Ubuntu 6.06 for 12 days, first ever try at Linux.  I have it on a stand alone box, = no dual boot or other OS on this machine.  I have installed a second hard drive on the other IDE.  What and how and with what should I format it and should it be (ext 3) or?  Should it be ( /boot ) or?  I want to use it as a mirror or complete system spare.  In other words I want to copy the main drive so that if I get more stupid or crazy an
[02:49] <cypherdelic> Toma-, hmm are you shure, that you installed the right restricted modules for your kernel?
[02:49] <Flannel> candyban: I'd ask in #ubuntu+1, it might be a shortcoming of Feisty currently
[02:50] <tiredbones_> HymnToLife, did you get the sources.list file?
[02:50] <mackinac> !install | candyban
[02:50] <ubotu> candyban: 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
[02:50] <nickf> hi guys, got the error message from grub - "This is not a bootable disk.  Please insert a bootable floppy and press any key to try again ..."
[02:50] <kaje1> I have installed compiz and when I go into System->Preferences->GL Desktop and click on the checkbox that says "Enable GL Desktop", I lose all of my windows' title bars and frames and pretty much nothing works... Anyone know what come be the issue?
[02:50] <sharky--> why when i'm playing a movie i can't hear audio from my web browser at the sametime?
[02:50] <Toma-> cypherdelic: it was installed about 2 years ago and hasnt changed since. it was working yesterday aswell :/
[02:50] <kaje1> what could be*
[02:50] <Quintin> Dragon43: You can just do a cp -a to copy the install
[02:50] <Toma-> cypherdelic: i just fixed it then. thx for the advice :)
[02:50] <SpudDogg> I keep getting errors when DVD::rip gets to the transcode stage.  "Output: te: Broken pipe syncinfo write error (0) write: Broken pipe"  Any ideas?
[02:51] <sharky--> is there away to allow multiple applications to have audio at the sametime?
[02:51] <HymnToLife> tiredbones_, the funny thing is that it wants to install totem-gstreamer 1.4.3 while the version in dapper repos is 1.4.1...
[02:51] <HymnToLife> you should try to figure out where it gets that 1.4.3 from
[02:52] <CientificoLoco> hello, there a room for songjuicer?
[02:52] <edlund> what is the best burn program?
[02:52] <Dragon43> Quintin, I just put cp -a into the terminal and it will format and copy the main drive so that I can swap the drives and have the identical stuff that i have now?
[02:52] <Pelo> gnomebaker is nice
[02:52] <mackinac> sound juicer
[02:52] <CientificoLoco> how do I rip mp3 from song juicer? I have to have all the steps  I am new
[02:52] <candyban> mackinac: thanks ... I'll have a look
[02:52] <Pelo> CientificoLoco,  doesn'T mean that soundjuicer will rip to mp3, I don't think soundjuicer cares where you live,  you'll have to find a prog that rips to mp3 or find something to convert to mp3
[02:52] <roostishaw> edlund: gnomebaker
[02:52] <edlund> isent there a program that is called b2b or somthing like it?
[02:52] <Toma-> edlund: k3b, but it depends on kde libs
[02:53] <edlund> toma: yeah thats is the name of it.. tnx
[02:53] <Toma-> edlund: imho, gnomebaker under gnome
[02:53] <sethk> Dragon43, you have to create the file system.  then you can use cp -a.  (I like cp -av).  Then you'll have to install the boot loader manually.
[02:53] <Quintin> Dragon43: no.. you make partitions that match on the other disk, *then* you cp -a .  You'd have to edit 2 files as well.  You might also try some kind of imaging software, or dd
[02:53] <cypherdelic> Anybody got NVIDIA driver working with kernel 2.6.17-50??
[02:53] <edlund> Toma-, ; tnx
[02:53] <SeXBOX> hey all.. i want to install ubuntu on my laptop but i want to be sure that my built in wireless is going to work. does anyone know how i find this out?
[02:53] <edlund> brb
[02:53] <Quintin> sethk: as well as edit fstab, and menu.lst
[02:53] <Frogzoo> edlund: k3b
[02:53] <CientificoLoco> pelo Songjuicer can do it
[02:53] <cypherdelic> what about this kernel 2.6.17-50 i cant find any ubuntu relate dinformation about it
[02:53] <tiredbones_> HymnToLife, I'll try, but I haven't got a glue where to being. thnks.
[02:53] <invain> Try connection  to rpm.riva.org.
[02:53] <EdgEy> SeXBOX,  just install it and if it doesnt, uninstall?
[02:54] <SeXBOX> does ubuntu have any type of connection manager that will allow me to find whether or not ubuntu recognizes my wireless network card
[02:54] <EdgEy> then again you should be able to check from the livecd
[02:54] <Pelo> SeXBOX,  try looking up your hardware in the forum
[02:54] <jobu25> hi all! would anyone know why my printer can't print from any programs started from the terminal?
[02:54] <sethk> Quintin, possibly, possibly not.  if he has the same layout other than partition sizes, fstab will be fine, and menu.lst is likely to be fine if he is replacing a drive with a larger or different one.
[02:54] <Toma-> SeXBOX: yeh there is...
[02:54] <Hedegaard> SeXBOX, download the live cd if it works there then install if not ... well i hope you can afford one cd ;)
[02:54] <jdiggidy> SeXBOX:  Ubuntu's been good at finding the wireless card without a problem.  The connection manager is under System>Administration>networking tools.  On my dell, it found the wireless card and labeled it as eth1
[02:54] <Dragon43> Guys, how do I do all this?:
[02:54] <SeXBOX> how would i go about accessing that toma? and if it is not in there, does that mean it is not currently supported?
[02:54] <Dragon43>  sethk: Dragon43, you have to create the file system.  then you can use cp -a.  (I like cp -av).  Then you'll have to install the boot loader manually.
[02:54] <Dragon43> (19:53:20) Quintin: Dragon43: no.. you make partitions that match on the other disk, *then* you cp -a .  You'd have to edit 2 files as well.  You might also try some kind of imaging software, or dd
[02:55] <Quintin> sethk: the uuid of the partitions isn't going to be the same.
[02:55] <Pelo> CientificoLoco,  just stick the cd in  open soundjuicer  disk > extract I would guess
[02:55] <cor1> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6502/
[02:55] <viator> for ubuntu on the macbook you can also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro
[02:55] <Toma-> SeXBOX: generally, most wireless cards are supported with ndiswrapper
[02:55] <CientificoLoco> Pelo, no you are worng
[02:55] <Dragon43> How do I do all that?
[02:55] <sethk> Quintin, that won't impact fstab or menu.lst
[02:55] <viator> look under fanspeed
[02:55] <Quintin> Dragon43: partition the disk.  format the partitions.  cp -a your crap over.
[02:55] <Toma-> SeXBOX: so im going to go ahead and say itll work fine.
[02:55] <viator> but ut has to be a dualboot system for
[02:55] <viator> that one to work
[02:55] <roostishaw> viator: right. i dont have a pro.
[02:56] <Quintin> sethk: you're perfectly correct if by 'won't impact'  you mean 'will keep the kernel from booting'
[02:56] <roostishaw> viator: thanks for the help!
[02:56] <SeXBOX> i have eth0 but how do i know whether or not that is for the ethernet port or for the wireless card? and if its for the wireless card, how do i access my network?
[02:56] <HymnToLife> tiredbones_, do you already have totem-gstreamter installed ?
[02:56] <viator> yeah but should still work
[02:56] <viator> yw
[02:56] <roostishaw> viator: im going to go try it now
[02:56] <Toma-> SeXBOX: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported
[02:56] <viator> cool
[02:56] <viator> hope it works
[02:56] <sethk> Quintin, I think you are seriously confused.
[02:56] <Dragon43> Sorry to be so dense but .....  It asks me if I want  ( /boot ) or (/ bin ) or ???  Which do I pick?
[02:56] <tiredbones_> HymnToLife, yes. I''m removing it now.
[02:57] <jdiggidy> SeXBOX:  eth0 is normally the ethernet port, not the wireless card.  Out of curiosity, what kind of laptop do you have?
[02:57] <Quintin> sethk: paste your /etc/fstab and menu.lst for me then.
[02:57] <HymnToLife> tiredbones_, anyway, if I were you, I'd try totem-xine instead
[02:57] <SeXBOX> its a gateway ml6703
[02:57] <sethk> Quintin, mine?  what do mine have to do with anything?
[02:57] <cor1> cannot upgrade to edgy http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6502/
[02:57] <tiredbones_> HymnToLife, ok
[02:57] <Toma-> SeXBOX: if you setup[ your card correctly, youll have a wlan0 network interface to use
[02:57] <SeXBOX> i have no idea what type of built in wireless it has though
[02:57] <Quintin> sethk: So I can show where you are mistaken
[02:57] <nonewmsgs> neither dragon
[02:57] <Toma-> SeXBOX: read the page i spammed
[02:57] <Quintin> sethk: I just did this *yesterday*.  trust me
[02:57] <sethk> Quintin, I have only ext3 partitions.  there is nothing in fstab related to uid
[02:58] <cypherdelic> hello, yes i mean you, answer if you use 2.6.17-50 kernel? nobody use it, no way.
[02:58] <Dragon43> Listening and trying to learn, keep going .....
[02:58] <sethk> Quintin, if you are assigning uids to windows partitions, then something might have to change, but not otherwise.
[02:58] <SeXBOX> i'm sorry?
[02:58] <kaje1> anyone have luck installing compiz? All of my windows lose their title bars and X sort of locks up when I try to enable GL Desktop...
[02:58] <Toma-> SeXBOX: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported
[02:58] <SeXBOX> what page you spammed?
[02:58] <jdiggidy> SeXBOX:  that page Toma spammed should have your answer.
[02:58] <SeXBOX> oh i see it, nevermind
[02:58] <blackest> hi i accidently did make config instead of make will running make now produce some thing different
[02:58] <Quintin> sethk: uuid ... not uid
[02:58] <cor1> cannot upgrade to edgy from drapper http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6502/
[02:58] <Quintin> Dragon43: do you have a working ubuntu setup now?
[02:58] <sethk> Quintin, either way, it doesn't appear in fstab.
[02:59] <SeXBOX> don't see gateway anywhere on there so i'm guessing no
[02:59] <Toma-> SeXBOX: did you read it or did you scroll down it?
[02:59] <cypherdelic> corl: why dont you backup your data and do a fresh installation of edgy?
[02:59] <underdog5004> sethk, pastebin.ca/362823
[02:59] <SeXBOX> i looked at the various brands
[02:59] <sethk> underdog5004, ok.
[02:59] <jdiggidy> SeXBOX:  type in sudo lspci at a terminal.  it should show all your hardware.
[02:59] <underdog5004> that's the output of my lsmod
[02:59] <Toma-> cor1: thats because you need to swap all the "dapper" bits of your sources.list to "edgy"
[02:59] <SeXBOX> gateway is not listed under the brands
[02:59] <sethk> Quintin, my fstab is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6503/
[03:00] <EdgEy> SeXBOX,  get the livecd and tst from there
[03:00] <EdgEy> test
[03:00] <Toma-> SeXBOX: lspci -v will give you the wireless card brand.
[03:00] <Dragon43> I am using it here.
[03:00] <cor1> toma: can you IM me and tll me what youmean by this
[03:00] <mackinac> sethk:  do you run 6.10 ?
[03:00] <SeXBOX> huh? lol
[03:00] <Toma-> cor1: its pretty basic. just wait a sec.
[03:00] <sethk> underdog5004, that's your lsmod output?
[03:00] <EdgEy> cor1 replace every 'dapper' with 'edgy'
[03:00] <EdgEy> deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu edgy-commercial main
[03:01] <sethk> mackinac, on one machine, yes.
[03:01] <cor1> thank you finally
[03:01] <EdgEy> like that
[03:01] <underdog5004> yessir
[03:01] <SeXBOX> i'm not all that... savvy with linux.. first time i'm ever tying it besides when i tried it on my desktop and it wouldnt recognize any of my 4 keyboards so i gave up
[03:01] <sethk> have to go for a bit, I'll be back...
[03:01] <SeXBOX> where do i type that at?
[03:01] <mackinac> sethk:  because that doesn't appear to be an fstab from 6.10
[03:01] <Dragon43> Later sethk  thanks
[03:01] <Dragon43> thasnks sethk
[03:02] <sethk> mackinac, you mean perhaps that it's not from a default installation of 6.10.  Nothing in that fstab is in any way version specific.
[03:02] <mackinac> sethk:  yes
[03:02] <Toma-> cor1: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6504/
[03:02] <Toma-> like that
[03:02] <cypherdelic> corl, Open a terminal, type "sudo editor /etc/apt/menu.lst", then look at the end of the non qouten (#) lines for "dapper" and change it to "edgy". if you are done hit CRTL+X and Y for save
[03:03] <cypherdelic> corl then type "sudo apt-get update" and after that is done type "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[03:03] <whileimhere> Can anyone tell me why some files (avi, mpeg, mpg) get a thumbnail but some dont? I checked to see if the file size was about the same and they are

[03:09] <tim167> how do i replace audio in a avi file ? i tried avidemux but selecting an external audio file doesnt work as advertised
[03:09] <Dragon43> I have to leave guys.  Now that I have found you all, I'll come here again.  thanks for trying to help me.  Later.
[03:09] <mackinac> libxine-extracodecs might do it ...?
[03:10] <Paddy_EIRE_> hey guys, I have recently bought an LCD flatscreen monitor and noticed a serious amount of flickering on the screen which is not present in my windows install.  I took advice from this channel and sought out the specs of my monitor and corrected the vertical and horizontal refresh rates although the flickering is still there??? is there something else that needs addressed
[03:10] <Quintin> tim167: virtualdub
[03:10] <Quintin> Paddy_EIRE_: Tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?

[03:11] <SpudDogg> I keep getting errors when DVD::rip gets to the transcode stage.  "Output: te: Broken pipe syncinfo write error (0) write: Broken pipe"  Any ideas?
[03:11] <Paddy_EIRE_> Quintin: thats also a command that i have been trying to remember
[03:11] <mackinac> tiredbones_:  read what the bot said above ^
[03:11] <tim167> Quintin: does that work on linux ? i tried it with wine but that was not so successful
[03:11] <^phillip> Dr_willis, the key is apps/panel/global/enable_animations but where are keys stored?  Some registry like thing in GNOME?

[03:12] <ubotu> Found: gconf-editor, gconf2, gconf2-common, libextutils-pkgconfig-perl, libgconf2-4 (and 18 others)

[03:12] <verma> what needs to be done?
[03:13] <Dr_willis> royel,  you could sudo rm /home/USERNAME/.Trash/* (or whatever the path is to the trashcan dir)
[03:13] <Quintin> is the trash ever automatically emptied on ubuntu?
[03:13] <^phillip> sweet, /usr/bin/gconf-editor
[03:13] <dimeotane> Any suggestions how to set the icon for a filetype in gnome?   I installed  the lzop package in edgy.. but my archives made in file roller "*.tar.lzo" don't show up with an archive icon and aren't associated with file roller... kinda weird
[03:13] <Dr_willis> Quintin,  not that i have seen
[03:13] <Quintin> verma: paste output of lsmod
[03:13] <underdog5004> I'm having trouble getting my wireless card (prism 2.5) working on my Thinkpad R31...anyone have any ideas?
[03:13] <Quintin> Dr_willis: me either.  that's kind of stupid.
[03:13] <verma> Quintin, alright
[03:13] <Paddy_EIRE_> Quintin: Use Kernel framebuffer yes no
[03:13] <Quintin> Paddy_EIRE_: NO NEVER EVER .  just say no!
[03:13] <Dr_willis> Quintin,  almost as stupid as kde and gnome and other window mangers/dekstops having different locations for the Trash. :)
[03:14] <Quintin> Dr_willis: yea, linux sucks. :(  it's getting better though
[03:14] <Brando> Anyone have any ideas on how to get dual monitors working with Ubuntu?
[03:14] <royel> Dr_willis: thanks Doc, not sure why I didn't think of that :)
[03:14] <Quintin> Brando: plug them in, for starters.
[03:14] <Brando> haha
[03:14] <Brando> thanks
[03:14] <Quintin> np
[03:15] <Brando> works fine in windows
[03:15] <Brando> but not in Linux
[03:15] <Quintin> card(s)?

[03:16] <tim167> Quintin: virtualdub with wine gives display trouble: black screen appart from video previews themselves
[03:16] <javadots> I used the prototype install software to download the OS and when I rebooted it said error 19 something about the partition
[03:16] <tempubun> using ubuntu-ppc, if i want to install plugins for totem, do i just do it the usual way?
[03:16] <Quintin> tim167: disable directx
[03:16] <wasabi__> tempubun: What plugins?
[03:16] <underdog5004> Frogzoo, what are you talking about?
[03:16] <tempubun> libdvdcss etc
[03:16] <Dr_willis> Quintin,  the location of the trash isent really a linux issue. :)
[03:16] <wasabi__> Sure. There's nothing different.
[03:16] <wasabi__> Same distro.
[03:16] <tempubun> totem can't play dvd/avi atm
[03:16] <dimeotane> anyone use .lzo files for archiving?
[03:16] <wasabi__> You just can't use w32codecs
[03:16] <verma> Quintin, any ideas, I do see the agpgart driver loaded
[03:17] <rempresent> wine isn't working with world of warcraft, i get this when i run wine http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6506/
[03:17] <tempubun> wasabi__: so what should i use to play .avis
[03:17] <Quintin> Paddy_EIRE_: no keyboard options, really.  or whatever defaults it gives
[03:17] <wasabi__> .avi's are fine. Depends what format the video is in.
[03:17] <wasabi__> .avi is just a container
[03:17] <tempubun> er dvd to avi, for *backup* purposes
[03:17] <kubota> Hi, i don't think Ubuntu recognizes my Sound Blaster soundcard
[03:17] <tiredbones_> mackinac, thanks that did it
[03:18] <mackinac> underdog5004:  use "/msg ubotu !whatever" if you aren't redirecting a specific query for someone
[03:18] <mackinac> tiredbones_:  kool yw
[03:18] <Paddy_EIRE_> Quintin: maybe thats why my caps lock key doesnt work in ubuntu
[03:18] <underdog5004> gotcha, thank you, mackinac
[03:18] <verma> I hate it when something messes up my display driver
[03:19] <Quintin> kubota: what model?
[03:19] <Quintin> rempresent: use this : gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Install_and_update_World_Of_Warcraft_with_wine
[03:19] <kubota> Quintin: I'm honestly not sure. It's not my computer
[03:19] <rempresent> quintin: kk

[03:20] <tim167> Quintin: how do i disable directx for wine/virtualdub ?
[03:21] <verma> Quintin, not a problem
[03:21] <tiredbones_> for those who might have the same problem with totem. I - remove totem with synaptic. 2. install tetem-xine. 3. install libxxine-extracodecs. make sure you add the extra repository.
[03:21] <Quintin> tim167: look in options

[03:22] <blackest> underdog ndiswrapper if nothing else
[03:22] <sigger2> I have a process running called gam_server.  Don't know what it relates to.  Game server?  Not playing games.  Anyone know?  When I kill it, it comes back.
[03:22] <kubota> Quintin: Sorry lol, Sound Blaster audio card
[03:23] <wapityyy> i just installed ubuntu server and i cant get the dhcp working :(
[03:23] <wapityyy> what's the name of the tool that is launched during the install, so that i can try to lauch it myself in the command line ?
[03:23] <SeXBOX> this is kinda why linux will never replace windows, lol
[03:23] <nonewmsgs> before you try the ndiswrapper what should you try first
[03:23] <Quintin> SeXBOX: linux is not a windows replacement.  it's an alternative.  you noob.
[03:23] <SeXBOX> its far too complex for any average and even many above average users
[03:23] <Quintin> kubota: oh yea that.  apt-get install alsamixer.  then run alsamixer
[03:23] <Paddy_EIRE> Quintin, it seems to be the same
[03:24] <SeXBOX> to you its an althernative
[03:24] <kubota> Quintin: Alright thanks
[03:24] <SeXBOX> some people want it to replace windows.. a great many people id say
[03:24] <blackest> so my 11 yearold niece is above average then :)
[03:24] <underdog5004> I thought the prism chipset was really really really well supported under linux blackest
[03:24] <kubota> SEXBOX: get out.. don't try and flame.
[03:24] <Quintin> SeXBOX: It doesn't take brains to use, it does take skill to setup though
[03:24] <rempresent> quintin:  you know that i am running ubuntu and some of this isn't making much sense... how do you patch with a .bin?
[03:24] <SeXBOX> your 11 year old can make my netowork card compatable with ubuntu? really?
[03:24] <SeXBOX> have him/her come over and do that for me then
[03:24] <nonewmsgs> i heard she's going to be quite the looker once she gets a little older
[03:24] <SeXBOX> oh, niece
[03:24] <SeXBOX> didnt see that
[03:25] <GMWeezel> Is there a free file rescue program I can use for a reformatted ext2 partition?
[03:25] <SeXBOX> have her come write the drivers to make my network card compatible
[03:25] <Quintin> SeXBOX: why not just.. get another network card?
[03:25] <nonewmsgs> gmweezel - parition commander says it can
[03:25] <nonewmsgs> but it's not free
[03:25] <Quintin> rempresent: what are you trying to patch?
[03:25] <GMWeezel> nonewmsgs: is that in the repositories?
[03:25] <slipstream3d> hello
[03:25] <rempresent> wine
[03:25] <SeXBOX> because its an internal network card on a laptop
[03:26] <rempresent> quintin:  there is a ati patch they said to installe
[03:26] <cypherdelic> anybody knows about kernel 2.6.17-50 and how to load nvidia for that?
[03:26] <nonewmsgs> t gmweezel no, but it's dirt cheap at amazon
[03:26] <HymnToLife> 50 ?
[03:26] <blackest> why not get a supported network card wired are very cheap wireless 54g about 20 whats your time worth
[03:26] <imbecile_> anyone have kde and gnome both? is it easy  to switch?
[03:26] <Quintin> SeXBOX: gift it to an ubuntu dev and you'll get a driver.
[03:26] <SeXBOX> and i'm not going to buy an external one, assuming i even have a port that will allow it without some thing inconvenient like USB
[03:26] <slipstream3d> does anyone know if there's anything special you have to do for a mainboard upgrade on ubuntu server?
[03:26] <Quintin> slipstream3d: not really
[03:26] <blackest> what chip set sexbox
[03:26] <HymnToLife> cyphase, what kernel are you running to get 2.6.17-50 ?
[03:26] <GMWeezel> nonewmsgs: I need something free and fast because I'm using the partition I formatted and I'm sure I'll have over written lots more stuff.
[03:26] <Quintin> slipstream3d: open case.  remove addin cards, remove motherboard... etc.
[03:26] <SeXBOX> quintin, i could hire a hindu named apu to do it for cheaper than this laptop cost me
[03:27] <kubota> Quintin: apt-get can't find alsamixer
[03:27] <HymnToLife> slipstream3d, reinstall ubuntu, most likely
[03:27] <cyphase> HymnToLife: i think you mean cypherdelic
[03:27] <SeXBOX> so why would i give a laptop to an ubuntu dev
[03:27] <HymnToLife> yep, sorry :p
[03:27] <underdog5004> yay, I successfully ignored SeXBOX ...now to get wireless working...
[03:27] <slipstream3d> so even though i'm going from a via to a nvidia chipset, i just stick the new mainboard in and hope it works, and if it doesn't, do a reinstall? lol
[03:27] <Quintin> SeXBOX: That's the best way to get drivers.
[03:28] <cypherdelic> HymnToLife, 2.6.17-11
[03:28] <SeXBOX> give expensive hardware to people is the best way to get drivers? lol
[03:28] <HymnToLife> underdog5004, depends on what adapter you have
[03:28] <tschaka> royel works now(tried the xubuntu cd for a 3rd time), xubuntu is installed and ready for some updates (tomorrow) thx, and good night
[03:28] <Quintin> imbecile_: yes.
[03:28] <HymnToLife> cypherdelic, right, so how did you install your drivers the first time ?
[03:28] <zyth> SeXBOX, then go code it yourself.  Oh wait, if you could, you wouldn't be whining here.  So stfu.
[03:28] <blackest> easiest way to get a network card running is chipset name ubuntu forum in google
[03:28] <underdog5004> ooh, figured it out, the wireless got "broken" (at least, that's what it says on a forum post) after upgrade to -11
[03:28] <cafuego_> SeXBOX: You're free to write your own drivers if you think that would be better.
[03:28] <rempresent> quintin:  how can you patch a wine installation with a .bin file?
[03:28] <SeXBOX> zyth, which goes back to my main point why linux will never replace windows.. which it should.. but it never will
[03:29] <SeXBOX> i gotta reboot.. stupid talkshoe
[03:29] <Quintin> SeXBOX: why 'should' it?  it's not meant to be a replacement.
[03:29] <blackest> um sexbox care to see what lspci says about your card i bet its broadcom
[03:29] <Paddy_EIRE> SeXBOX, it will
[03:29] <cypherdelic> HymnToLife, i thought they were installed
[03:29] <Quintin> rempresent: no experience with that, sorry.
 this is kinda why linux will never replace windows, lol
[03:29] <Talaman> is better than winblows for me
[03:29] <HymnToLife> cypherdelic, they aren't by default, you have to install them yourself
[03:29] <rempresent> quintin:  kk, that is fine, thanks
[03:29] <EdgEy> because manufacturers fail to make drivers? aww. too bad he quit
[03:29] <cypherdelic> HymnToLife, i just rebooted, didnt work, switch xorg.conf to nv, reboot, uninstalled new kernel
[03:30] <cafuego_> Quintin: Yes, people should not be free to choose their OS. They must use Linux </sarcasm>
[03:30] <rempresent> anyone know how to patch an installation with a .bin?
[03:30] <cypherdelic> ok i hearded about a german manual
[03:30] <Talaman> question1: is nethack networkable?
[03:30] <cypherdelic> thanks, i will try that
[03:30] <blackest> hum usually they run with ./file.bin
[03:30] <cafuego_> Talaman: You can run it on a port and telnet to it?
[03:30] <rempresent> blackest:  i will give that a go
[03:30] <elyon225> Could someone tell me why, when I open a file browser, it quite often will open 4 or more of them?
[03:31] <blackest> you might need to make it executable
[03:31] <elyon225> For example, clicking on Places -> Home will open up about 4 different file browsers of my /home/ directory.
[03:31] <EnsignRedshirt> Hello, world.
[03:32] <wapityyy> cab anyone help me, i cant connect to my router on dhcp ?
[03:32] <AndrewB> printf("Hello EnsignRedshirt!");
[03:32] <EnsignRedshirt> OK, bash/linux/sudo experts, find the mistake: sudo cat test.dat > /etc/test.dat
[03:32] <elyon225> wapityyy: Is it wireless?
[03:32] <Byan> is there a terminal emulator that supports alt+arrows..
[03:32] <AndrewB> EnsignRedshirt: you don't have write permissions to that file?
[03:32] <SpacePuppy> elyon225: that's wack! I don't have a clue.. l'd be lookin in that browers setup stuff.. but that's wack.
[03:32] <Byan> I can only seem to be able to use putty for that
[03:32] <wapityyy> elyon225: nope
[03:32] <nexousNET> How can I check if I have GTK2 in ubuntu?
[03:33] <Quintin> EnsignRedshirt: just do a copy
[03:33] <elyon225> SpacePuppy: Yeah, just started doing that one day... no clue why.
[03:33] <rempresent> blackest:  didn't work... how do you write an executable
[03:33] <EnsignRedshirt> AndrewB: But I used sudo.
[03:33] <Dr_willis> or use some quotes around the   stuff.
[03:33] <hopsing> can someone please tell me where to make global changes for Environment Variables?  i'm trying to change MAIL=/var/mail to MAIL=~/Maildir/
[03:33] <Talaman> cafuego_: will it allow others to join in?
[03:33] <blackest> ensign sudo su test.dat > /etc/test.dat
[03:33] <cafuego_> Talaman: nope
[03:33] <AndrewB> EnsignRedshirt: I know.. try sudo 'cat foo >> /etc/foo'
[03:33] <AndrewB> ah
[03:33] <wapityyy> elyon225: is there a way i can run the utility that is run on install on the command line ?
[03:33] <AndrewB> or do as blackest says
[03:33] <EnsignRedshirt> Quintin: Sure, but wouldn't you think the command that I gave should work?
[03:33] <inazad> hi there, I don't see my cursor, I can click but I dont see my cursor...
[03:33] <AndrewB> :)
[03:33] <Dr_willis> hopsing,  in /etc/ i recall there being the proper place for that.
[03:34] <Quintin> EnsignRedshirt: I think it's dumb, is what I think.
[03:34] <elyon225> wapityyy: I'm certain there is a way to do that, but alas, I don't know how.
[03:34] <Dr_willis> hopsing,  for a per user basis the .bashrc or .bash_profile would be the place.
[03:34] <wapityyy> does anyone else know ?
[03:34] <EnsignRedshirt> Quintin: It
[03:34] <blackest> look at in a filebrowser right click propertys  and set the permissions
[03:34] <EnsignRedshirt> oops
[03:34] <elyon225> wapityyy: Have you tried System -> Administration -> Networking ?
[03:34] <EnsignRedshirt> Quintin: It is just a test case for a different situation, in which a command is run with sudo, and the output is redirected to a file.
[03:34] <wapityyy> elyon225: it's ubuntu server, no X :)
[03:35] <elyon225> wapityyy: Ah... then definitely good luck lol
[03:35] <hopsing> Dr_willis, thx for the reply.  i'm looking for global setting.  know where that would be?
[03:35] <rempresent> blackest:  it ran, but with errors, syntax errors?
[03:35] <juggaleaux> I have an onboard soundcard and an audigy se card, i need to use my audigy se instead of my onboard
[03:36] <juggaleaux> is audigy se supported?

[03:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ip6 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:36] <elyon225> !ipv6
[03:36] <ubotu> To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4
[03:36] <blackest> hmm i dont really know what your trying to do rempresent
[03:36] <tempubun> juggaleaux: go into your BIOS and swith off onboard sound for a start
[03:36] <EnsignRedshirt> AndrewB: That doesn't work; sudo treats everything inside the quotes as the filename of the command, so you get 'command not found'.
[03:36] <rempresent> trying to follow a guide and get WoW to work
[03:36] <AndrewB> EnsignRedshirt: oh ok
[03:36] <rempresent> it is coming up with a bunch of funky graphics
[03:36] <rempresent> someone told me to patch with this http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Install_and_update_World_Of_Warcraft_with_wine
[03:36] <juggaleaux> i'll try that.
[03:37] <blackest> sorry that sounds like wine and i havent got a clue on that
[03:37] <EnsignRedshirt> The basic question is this:  Run a command with sudo, and redirect the output to a directory owned by root.  You get 'Permission denied.
[03:38] <EnsignRedshirt> That wasn't a question...
[03:38] <EnsignRedshirt> The question is "Why?"
[03:38] <blackest> actually ensign wouldnt that be two commands
[03:38] <rempresent> blackest:  i am not getting much help with wine, what would you use?
[03:38] <javadots> ook, I got the error message. Error 19: CAnnot mount selected partition.
[03:38] <elyon225> rempresent: You could try Crossover or VMWare.
[03:39] <blackest> pass sorry I am not a gamer and don't have the experience
[03:39] <Dr_willis> hopsing,  /etc/bashrc perhaps.. there has been some changes to that stuff lately. i cant keep up i think thers some enviroment.d dir now also..
[03:39] <EnsignRedshirt> blackest: I don't see why it would be two commands.
[03:39] <rempresent> elyon225:  pick one that you have had experience with
[03:39] <blackest> its the redirect
[03:39] <Kalrog> I see there are already a few wine questions out there... I am getting a "Module not found" error when I try to install an application (specifically TurboTax).  I get that when I try to run setup.exe off of the CD.  Any thoughts on good tutorials or suggestions?  My web serching skills seem to be lacking today.
[03:39] <elyon225> rempresent: I only have experience with Wine.
[03:40] <elyon225> rempresent: What are you trying to do?
[03:40] <blackest> any way it doesnt work so sudo su  then do it
[03:40] <javadots> I used the prototype and installed Ubuntu and when I selected ubuntu and it that message popped up, Error 19: Cannot mount selected partition
[03:40] <hopsing> Dr_willis, i agree, i checked the forums and can't get a striaght answer.  thx for the help, i'll look at that and keep researching
[03:40] <EnsignRedshirt> hopsing: /etc/profile
[03:40] <rempresent> elyon225: check out my pastebin, everything isn't coming out the way i want... the graphics are goofy... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6506/
[03:40] <elyon225> javadots: Weren't you in here a couple days ago with this problem?
[03:40] <javadots> nope
[03:40] <Dr_willis> hopsing,  not using ubuntu at the moment so i cant look. /etc/profile is uses for many cases.. but i though there was some other 'places' one could do it also..
[03:41] <blackest> its worse when you do make install  that gets blocked partway throu
[03:41] <javadots> just came here today, i was in here a few minutes ago though.
[03:41] <elyon225> javadots: Ahh... well, the prototype installation is neither created by NOR supported by Ubuntu.
[03:41] <tungarbul1> I'm new to Ubuntu. So far, I haven't had many problems but there's one which I just cannot crack on my own. Video files - MPEGs, video DVDs, whatever - just don't play properly at all. Either the sound's OK, but the video is super-jerky. Or the sound's OK but the video is absent. Or the system just shows a still image and plays about 10 seconds of audio.
[03:41] <elyon225> javadots: Basically, it's not a good idea to use it.... and most people don't.
[03:41] <javadots> elyon225: ahh... ok.
[03:41] <javadots> elyon225: didn't know that.
[03:41] <hopsing> EnsignRedshirt:  i'll check that out

[03:42] <juggaleaux> sound works. big thanks to whoever suggested to disable my onboard sound
[03:42] <javadots> elyon225: isn't ubuntu configured all in one folder in the C:
[03:42] <javadots> \
[03:42] <javadots> heh
[03:42] <jZed_> I have an existing dual boot winXp/debian etch, I want to add ubuntu as third boot ... what's the best way to proceed?
[03:42] <elyon225> javadots: I guess that's the basic idea of that installation method... but it doesn't work very well.
[03:42] <javadots> elyon225: so that means I could just delete that folder and download the OS and do it the normal way eh?
[03:42] <ChaosEddie> make sure to use VLC for dvds. it rocks
[03:42] <elyon225> rempresent: What are you trying to do again?
[03:43] <kjon> ppl! I need some help plz!
[03:43] <blackest> jzed add a line to grub menu.lst
[03:43] <javadots> elyon225: you're right, I think i'll just delete it and start again
[03:43] <tungarbul1> Thanks, Ubotu. Unfortunately, not all movies are done on open-source media.
[03:43] <Dna^> hi
[03:43] <elyon225> javadots: Make sure that your boot record is fine, though...
[03:43] <rempresent> elyon225: get my wow installation to run properly in wine
[03:43] <elyon225> javadots: I mean, if you can login to Windows fine, then yes, delete that folder and install it the proper way
[03:43] <kjon> Cedega doesn't like my box. When I run any game, I just have a white window with nothing else.
[03:43] <javadots> yeah, I can change it back the boot.ini
[03:43] <jZed_> blackest, I mean to install ubuntu ... do it chroot, or just start from disk ...
[03:43] <elyon225> rempresent: AHH..... gaming.
[03:43] <Dna^> i need some help, how i can get more faster my ubuntu...
[03:43] <rempresent> ahh yeah
[03:43] <javadots> elyon225: thanks man.
[03:44] <elyon225> rempresent: That is the only reason I keep Windows installed.  Even if you CAN get the games running under Linux, the framerates are horrible.
[03:44] <underdog5004> !xubuntu | Dna^
[03:44] <ubotu> Dna^: xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of Gnome. For more info, see http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop". | For support, see #xubuntu | See also: !ubuntu and !xubuntu-channels
[03:44] <blackest> well whos running your dual boot now ?
[03:44] <kjon> any suggestions? (It seems that my video drivers are the faulty)
[03:44] <jZed_> grub
[03:44] <AndrewB> EnsignRedshirt: It seems to be for safety that that is not allowed. [after reading in google] 
[03:44] <rempresent> elyon225:  i could do that, but i was really hoping that i didn't have to
[03:44] <kjon> TT_TT plz! hlp me! -- I wanna play zuma Deluze!
[03:44] <Dna^> can i install xubuntu from my ubuntu system? xD
[03:45] <kjon> Dna^: you mean the xubuntu desktop?
[03:45] <elyon225> rempresent: I totally understand... But unfortunately, there aren't many work arounds.  There IS, however, a Linux program called Cedega that claims to run games fairly well (although framerates are still nothing like they would be in Windows).
[03:45] <Dna^> kjon yep...:)
[03:45] <EnsignRedshirt> AndrewB: Yeah, I just found an answer by googling, too.  The redirection is handle by the shell, which does not have the sudo privileges.
[03:45] <rempresent> elyon225:  thanks a lot man
[03:45] <kjon> Dna^: apt-get install xubuntu-desktop ;)
[03:45] <elyon225> rempresent: But Cedega is not free and not all games are supported.  You can check their website for a list of supported games and any issues associated with it.
[03:46] <AndrewB> EnsignRedshirt: exactly. hmm sorry ;) gota do it the slow way.
[03:46] <kjon> I wanna play Zuma Deluxe!!! --- but I can't! I got an empty white window.... and nothing else!
[03:46] <kjon> =(
[03:46] <AndrewB> rempresent: elyon225  the cvs version is free asin no cost. but it is extrememly buggy
[03:46] <Dna^> kjon cannot find the packg..
[03:46] <kjon> I got direct rendering... and the ATI stuff.....
[03:46] <rempresent> thanks andrew
[03:46] <verma> Quintin, I just had to recompile my display drivers, just updated my kernel a while back .. it works now
[03:46] <kjon> Dna^: Wait a sec
[03:46] <rempresent> laters
[03:47] <Dna^> kjon ok
[03:47] <elyon225> AndrewB: Ah... didn't know that.  But of course I would never try a CVS of such an intensive and sensitive things as running Windows games...
[03:47] <kjon> Dna^: Have you all the repositories set?
[03:47] <blackest> i think grub when installed by ubuntu would definately dual boot between ubuntu and windows but what i suggest is you very carefully save the menu item you have now coz it will have the correct parameters for the existing partion
[03:47] <EnsignRedshirt> AndrewB: I found this: http://www.courtesan.com/pipermail/sudo-users/2000-March/000060.html
[03:47] <kjon> Dna^: 'cause xubuntu-desktop *does* exist on the ubuntu repos...
[03:48] <wapityyy> when trying to run 'dhclient eth0' i keep getting 'DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 3' etc
[03:48] <wapityyy> any idea ?
[03:48] <AndrewB> EnsignRedshirt: ah :) did that work?
[03:48] <elyon225> kjon: Have you enabled the extra repositories?
[03:48] <Dna^> kjon i guess... how i know if i have all?
[03:48] <blackest> what is eth0 ?
[03:48] <kjon> wapityyy: try an ifconfig down / ifconfig up and retry with dhclient...
[03:48] <elyon225> kjon: Oh, nevermind... totally misread your message ;)
[03:49] <markstos> bestest:  ethernet device.
[03:49] <AndrewB> nn all
[03:49] <kjon> elyon225: ^.^
[03:49] <markstos> s/bestest/blackest/g
[03:49] <EnsignRedshirt> AndrewB: Yes. e.g.: sudo sh -c 'cat testfile > /etc/testfile'
[03:49] <AndrewB> EnsignRedshirt: cool. cya
[03:49] <wapityyy> kjon: same
[03:49] <kjon> Dna^: easy way=go to repos option, on synaptics... and thick them all...
[03:49] <kjon> Dna^: or edit, /etc/apt/sources.list by hand...
[03:50] <Dna^> kjon ahh ya' ok
[03:50] <kjon> wapityyy: I'd the same prob. with wireless... mhhh... have you tryied an ifup eth0?
[03:50] <wapityyy> yep
[03:51] <kjon> wapityyy: and... is the RJ45 cable in good condition?... isn't it?
[03:51] <wapityyy> kjon: but i dont know if my interface is set up correctly, is there any command line onfig tool i can use ?
[03:51] <blackest> or system ->admin-> software properties
[03:51] <blackest> ping wapity
[03:52] <kjon> wapityyy: well ifconfig and modprobe, but, usually the kernel is smart enough to determine the correct modules for the hardware.
[03:53] <wapityyy> i just changed the cabel
[03:53] <wapityyy> cable
[03:53] <kjon> wapityyy: why don't you try the manual way? I mean, a ifconfig yourip NETMASK netmask and a route add default gw... etc.??
[03:53] <wapityyy> kjon: ok lemme try again
[03:53] <kjon> I need help with cedega!!!
[03:53] <kjon> any volunteer?
[03:53] <wapityyy> kjon: what do i put for the ip ?
[03:53] <kjon> pleeezeeee!!!
[03:54] <CaptMarion> yo anyone here that can help me?
[03:54] <kjon> wapityyy: Well, I don't know. What are you trying to set up?
[03:54] <CaptMarion> I have gone thru 5 installations of Ubuntu
[03:54] <wapityyy> kjon: local network on DHCP
[03:54] <CaptMarion> and none boot up
[03:54] <CaptMarion> they get stuck trying to find "root"
[03:55] <kjon> wapityyy: uhhh... try with 192.168.0.x... with x as the machine number.
[03:55] <kjon> wapityyy: and a netmask of 255.255.255.0
[03:55] <wapityyy> kjon: the router is at  192.168.0.1
[03:55] <markstos> CaptMarion: What's the exact error message about "root"?
[03:55] <wapityyy> kjon: ok, it's the X im not sure about :)
[03:55] <kjon> wapityyy: a router? ... is the DHCP service on the router enabled?
[03:55] <wapityyy> kjon: yes
[03:55] <wapityyy> kjon: so shouldnt it give me the ip address ?
[03:55] <CaptMarion> actually, it says (after the busybox stuff) /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
[03:56] <kjon> wapityyy: did you try the "windows" solution? (I mean, try to reboot once!)
[03:56] <andre> hey guys,  does anyone know when ubuntu will update their repository for the new Blender V2.43??
[03:56] <nexousNET> Hi, How would I go about adding an icon on my desktop to run the command '/opt/lampp/lampp php4' ?
[03:56] <kitche> andre: probably feisty has it
[03:56] <kjon> wapityyy: right!. But seems that your router isn't that friendly...
[03:56] <wapityyy> kjon: what do you mean ?
[03:56] <kitche> andre: the version won't update unless it's a bugfix or security fix
[03:56] <wapityyy> kjon: the router works fine for my other ubuntu computer, and my windows laptop
[03:57] <kjon> wapityyy: mhhh.... .'
[03:57] <markstos> CaptMarion: If you looked through the related Google results? http://www.google.com/search?q=a%22can%27t+access+tty%3B+job+control+turned+off&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

[03:57] <markstos> If -> "Have"
[03:57] <nonewmsgs> hello
[03:58] <kjon> I need help with cedega... plz!
[03:58] <wapityyy> kjon: what utility does the installer use to setup the network ?
[03:58] <kjon> white window only! --- I can't play games TT_TT
[03:58] <kjon> wapityyy: Usually tryies an ifup eth0.
[03:58] <andre> kitche: so if I want to use 2.42 I have to wait till april?
[03:58] <nexousNET> Hi, How would I go about adding an icon on my desktop to run the command '/opt/lampp/lampp php4' ?
[03:58] <stephans> does someone know how to mirror only one version of ubuntu to a local server?
[03:58] <kitche> andre or install it yourself
[03:58] <bruenig> nexousNET, right click, add launcher, put that in the command
[03:59] <kitche> andre: check backports might be in there
[03:59] <nexousNET> bruenig: Am i running it as app, or app in terminal?
[03:59] <kjon> wapityyy: have a look on "man ifup"
[03:59] <clearze1> I'm trying to forward an X session on a remote computer to the computer i'm using but I'm running into some errors. Can anyone help me?
[03:59] <bruenig> nexousNET, I don't know, what are you doing, are you expecting it to run in terminal or just do run whatever the script does and be done
[03:59] <andre> how will the edgy users have to do to upgrade to feisty in april?
[03:59] <andre> kitche: backports?
[03:59] <markstos> I've got my own problem. Sound isn't working after "suspend" with Edgy on my T20 laptop. I've added a list of sound modules to /etc/default/acpi-support, but it's still not fixed. I'm not sure how to debug it further...
[04:00] <kitche> !backports | andre
[04:00] <ubotu> andre: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[04:00] <nexousNET> bruenig: usually the command is run in terminal.
[04:00] <linuxnewbie756> anyone here use easytag frequently?
[04:00] <bruenig> nexousNET, I mean is it interactive? or does it just do something and that is it?
[04:00] <kjon> markstos: build a script to restart alsa on resume.
[04:00] <doojin> hi
[04:00] <nexousNET> bruenig: just does something, and thats all.
[04:00] <bruenig> nexousNET, then not don't check the terminal box
[04:00] <bruenig> s/not//
[04:00] <nexousNET> bruenig: okay thanks.
[04:00] <doojin> After I installed nvidia-glx through synaptic manager and rebooted, I can't start xserver.
[04:00] <doojin> I don't know why not?
[04:01] <HymnToLife> doojin, did you install the restricted-modules for your current kernel ?
[04:01] <doojin> ?
[04:01] <kjon> anybody? ... I wanna play with cedega... but I can't TT_TT
[04:01] <hanzomon4> did you install the restricted modules for your kernel
[04:01] <doojin> what are the restricted modules?
[04:02] <HymnToLife> doojin, what does uname -r give you ?
[04:02] <doojin> wait
[04:02] <bruenig> doojin, sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`
[04:02] <andre> what will the edgy users have to do to upgrade to feisty in april?
[04:02] <doojin> how can I put aside bitchx?
[04:03] <bruenig> andre, probably very similar to the dapper to edgy upgrade
[04:03] <HymnToLife> andre, modify their sources.list and do a dist-upgrade, I guess
[04:03] <denardo> Hi, folks. I'm trying to access the memory stick in my Sony Clie NX70V from my laptop running Edgy.
[04:03] <bruenig> !upgrade | andre
[04:03] <ubotu> andre: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[04:03] <hanzomon4> try this doojin:  sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic
[04:03] <doojin> ok
[04:03] <hanzomon4> my bad already answered
[04:03] <HymnToLife> hanzomon4, what if he's running Dapper ?
[04:04] <bruenig> well he's gone anyway
[04:04] <doojin> uname -r tell me 2.6.17-11-generic
[04:04] <andre> tx guys
[04:04] <doojin> 2.6.17-11-generic
[04:04] <denardo> There's an MSImport utility on the Clie, and I see old instructions on mounting stuff, but they seem to mostly be talking about things that old kernels didn;t have
[04:04] <hanzomon4> Yeah the other person answered it best,  doojin, sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`
[04:04] <HymnToLife> all right, install linux-generic then
[04:04] <HymnToLife> it will install the restricted-modules
[04:04] <hitmanWilly> does anyone know how to maually lock ports from the command line? im trying to write a "panic mode" script
[04:05] <Dna^> kjon on synaptic, should i install all? (tab All)
[04:05] <HymnToLife> and always keep them up-to-date to match the current kernel
[04:05] <doojin> HymnToLife : Did you experience it?
[04:05] <HymnToLife> not personnaly
[04:05] <doojin> I already have another kernel on x86
[04:05] <kjon> Dna^:whaddaya mean? all the repositories?
[04:05] <wapityyy> damn :(
[04:06] <Dr_willis> hitmanWilly,  just take down the network interface :)
[04:06] <linuxnewbie756> is easytag supposed to support aac?
[04:06] <stephans> does someone know how to mirror only one version of ubuntu to a local server?
[04:07] <kubota> howdy.. can someone tell me how to fix my refresh rate?
[04:07] <hitmanWilly> Dr_willis: that works too. I just want to be able to do it a little more selectively
[04:07] <bruenig> linuxnewbie756, no
[04:07] <stephans> What media should I use for automated network installs locally?
[04:07] <linuxnewbie756> bruenig, so how can i edit aac tags?
[04:07] <Dna^> kjon yep... cuz there are pack like python-numeral, 3d chees... etcx
[04:08] <kjon> Dna^: yup...
[04:08] <kjon> Dna^: U need 2 install 'em all.
[04:08] <bruenig> linuxnewbie756, maybe gktpod-aac
[04:08] <kubota> howdy.. can someone tell me how to fix my refresh rate?
[04:08] <Dna^> kjon ok thanx
[04:08] <bruenig> linuxnewbie756, from the description at least, it appears to indicate that it will
[04:08] <kjon> Dna^: Set all the repos, refresh... look for "xubuntu-desktop", and install it.
[04:09] <kjon> Dna^: that "metapackage" has all the dependencies to set xubuntu up.
[04:09] <bruenig> linuxnewbie756, oh it is gtkpod-aac not gktpod-aac
[04:10] <Ireclan> Does Archive Manager support 7zip files?
[04:10] <bruenig> !7z
[04:10] <ubotu> Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression
[04:10] <kjon> I need help with cedega... ONEGAI!/PLEASE/C'VOUS PLAIT/BITTE...
[04:10] <kubota> Okay then.. Different question, Sound Juicer is only ripping my CD @ 1.2x ..It is supposed to be around 52x
[04:10] <kubota> Is it possible to fix that
[04:10] <bruenig> kjon, obviously nobody knows
[04:10] <kjon> kubota: is dma activated for your cd?
[04:10] <Ireclan> Is that a "yes" or a "no"?
[04:10] <bruenig> Ireclan, it is a go to that link and see how to enable it
[04:10] <Dr_willis> hitmanWilly,   i recall some tools that could auto-block ips if they 'attacked' or scaned and stuff...
[04:10] <kjon> kubota: try something like hdparm -d1u1 /dev/hdc
[04:10] <kubota> kjon: I'm not sure
[04:10] <denardo> Hmm. /var/log/messages is telling me things like "Feb 18 19:09:10 localhost kernel: [17430168.580000]  usb 4-1.4: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 38", but I don't understand if that tells me anything about how I should mount it.
[04:11] <kjon> kubota: as root, try hdparm -d1u1 /dev/hdc.
[04:11] <vader> Hello
[04:11] <Ireclan> Already did. Hasn't worked so far.

[04:11] <tim167> in Gimp how do i save an image in jpg, tga,png,or bmp format WITH alpha channel ??
[04:12] <ChaosEddie> vader: hi, jingle bells?
[04:12] <kubota> Kjom: okay, I did. Says everything is on
[04:12] <arrenlex> tim167: Those formats don't support alpha channels.
[04:12] <kjon> kubota: rip that cd again, and tell me how's going...
[04:12] <arrenlex> tim167: Except png. It does.
[04:12] <tempubun> ubuntu on iBook: 128mb ram is probably not enough to run X, xine and soiund server at same time?
[04:12] <kubota> kjon: ALright.. looks like it's still at 1.3, should I restart?
[04:12] <tempubun> smoothly?
[04:12] <vader> Hi Tim
[04:13] <Ireclan> So, do I use p7Zip to open them?
[04:13] <vader> Why don't you like Linux Tim? AKA tat
[04:13] <tim167> arrenlex:  ok png then WITH alpha channel ( so i can use it in virtualdub as logo overlay on video)

[04:13] <tim167> hi vader
[04:13] <andre> I can't seem to burn a dvd-r disc... is this normal?  is there anything I can do?
[04:13] <vader> Tim167 thinks tht linux is for fags.

[04:13] <kubota> kjon: yes 1.3x, sorry
[04:13] <kubota> kjon: ohh ohhh 1.4 now
[04:13] <kubota> :P
[04:13] <tim167> vader how so ?
[04:13] <vader> Linux is the best operating system, and yet Tim hates it.
[04:13] <kjon> kubota: -_-'
[04:14] <Dr_willis> we all know that it was downhill from CP/M
[04:14] <kjon> kubota: get a better ripper ... ^.^

[04:14] <bruenig> !best

[04:17] <EnsignRedshirt> bye bye
[04:17] <HymnToLife> kubota, abcde is the one I use, it's a command line app but does the job perfectly
[04:17] <cor1> i still cant upgrade should i just renistall 6.06?
[04:17] <arrenlex> Oh, you're here already. Sorry. ^^;
[04:17] <rbil> I just upadated my system from Dapper to Edgy. I see now that Edgy is using UUID to designate harddrives. I keep a cloned backup of my hd on another hd. Will I have problem booting if the UUID doesn't work on the different hd?
[04:17] <Hobbsee> arrenlex: yep
[04:17] <Hobbsee> was just going to banforward
[04:18] <Dr_willis> rbil,  ya could alter the fstab. not sure how backups affect uuid...
[04:18] <kubota> Hymntolife: Oh. I'll probably have to find something with a GUI, this PC is for the choir director at my church..
[04:18] <cyclops> I was wondering, is there any kluge or hack to allow me to view shockwave content in my browser? (firefox)
[04:18] <rbil> Dr_willis: I'm more concerned about Grub's menu.lst
[04:18] <Madpilot> kubota, for CD burning, use Serpentine
[04:18] <zoidberg> hey guys
[04:18] <bruenig> !hi | zoidberg
[04:18] <ubotu> zoidberg: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[04:18] <Ireclan> bruenig: do I need to "cd" to the directory it's in before performing that command?
[04:18] <zoidberg> i have badger on this powerpc powerbook g3 right now
[04:19] <zoidberg> i just upgraded to dapper
[04:19] <Ireclan> The package, that is.
[04:19] <zoidberg> well i think so
[04:19] <kjon> "They say if you play a microsoft cd backwards you hear satanic messages --- that's nothing, 'cause if you play it forwards, it installs windows..."
[04:19] <bruenig> Ireclan, yeah, or you can just do "p7zip -d /path/to/whatever.7z"
[04:19] <kjon> remember that :P
[04:19] <kubota> Madpilot: Alright. thanks for the suggestion.
[04:19] <Dr_willis> rbil,  theres a neat trick i learned  look in ------->   /dev/disk/by-uuid/  and /dev/disk/by-*  for how the drives lavbels and uuids are.. You can set grub to use the uuid i hear.. but never tried it.
[04:19] <zoidberg> how can i check what version i'm running?
[04:19] <rbil> I can see maybe using UUIDs for removable drives, but this is a real step backwards to force it into Grub
[04:19] <arrenlex> cyclops: Like Shockwave Shockwave? People still use that? xD There are several ways, involving Wine.
[04:19] <ImWindowsFree> hey does anyone understand how to get p2k tools to work on linux so i can mess with my moto cell
[04:19] <bruenig> zoidberg, lsb_release -a
[04:19] <arrenlex> cyclops: The easiest but least convenient is to just run Firefox or IE in wine to view sites with shockwave.
[04:19] <cyclops> So, no matter what, I have to use Wine to do it?  And there is one web site that I keep having to boot into XP to view, its...  annoying
[04:19] <krezlim> Anyone know why my ubuntu's dhclient won't work with my comcast cable modem?  It works fine out of the box with my router
[04:20] <arrenlex> cyclops: The most convenient one is to buy Crossover Office ($40) and it will seamlessly integrate the plugin for you.
[04:20] <bruenig> or bittorrent...
[04:20] <arrenlex> cyclops: The balance between these two is integration which doesn't always work, using the free wine.
[04:20] <rbil> anyone know if I'd break things using /dev/ instead of UUID in Grub?
[04:20] <arrenlex> cyclops: You want more info about the latter?
[04:20] <cyclops> thank you arrenlex, I appreciate it
[04:21] <bruenig> rbil, iirc it is compatible with /dev/
[04:21] <zoidberg> is there an easy way to updgrade from breezy to edgy without a cd?
[04:21] <HymnToLife> rbil, it wont break anything
[04:21] <tim167> arrenlex: so i did Layer>Transparency>color to alpha in Gimp, select white( = background color), then File>save as, and make it a png, after that no mention of alpha is made and i have an alpha-less png
[04:21] <Hobbsee> rbil: your upgrade, most likely
[04:21] <cyclops> Crossover Office?  No...  I'll zap over to their web site, I looked at them before for running iTunes as well, perhaps its worth the 40
[04:21] <bruenig> zoidberg, you would have to upgrade to dapper, then to edgy,
[04:21] <Hobbsee> rbil: ie, dist-upgrade
[04:21] <bruenig> !upgrade | zoidberg
[04:21] <ubotu> zoidberg: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[04:21] <markstos> kjon: thanks for the tip.
[04:21] <rbil> Hobbsee: sorry not following what you're telling me at all
[04:22] <kjon> markstos: I'd the same trouble too :P
[04:22] <Hobbsee> rbil: you'll probably break your upgrade if you use /dev/ instead of UUID
[04:22] <ImWindowsFree> hey does anyone understand how to get p2k tools to work on linux so i can mess with my moto cell
[04:22] <Hobbsee> rbil: dunno about grub as such, but if you do that in fstab...
[04:22] <rbil> UUID's shouldn't be used in Grub for the very reason I've cited. This completely screws up disk cloning.
[04:22] <arrenlex> cyclops: Hmm... I can't find it... still looking, sorry.
[04:23] <rbil> it's worse than DRM as far as i'm concerned!
[04:23] <kjon> I NeeD HeLP WiTH CeDeGa... aNY VoLuNTeeR? ... I'M GoiNG CRaZY....
[04:23] <Dr_willis> kjon,  i imagine most have you on ignore now.
[04:23] <Dr_willis> :)
[04:23] <Dr_willis> kjon,  and whats the issue?
[04:23] <mitchbones> I lOvE pEoPle tHaT tYpE lIkE tHiS
[04:23] <Hobbsee> kjon: try #cedega
[04:23] <arrenlex> cyclops: Aha! https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave
[04:23] <Garre1> How do I get my NTFS drivers working again cause it stopped working
[04:23] <Garre1> ?
[04:24] <elyon225> Could someone tell me why, when I open a file browser, it quite often will open 4 or more of them?
[04:24] <elyon225> For example, clicking on Places -> Home will open up about 4 different file browsers of my /home/ directory.
[04:24] <kjon> mitchbones: ^.^
[04:24] <rbil> what developer with Ubuntu is responsible to for this change to UUID in Grub and how to I reach him?
[04:24] <kjon> Dr_willis: A nice managed white window...
[04:24] <ImWindowsFree> hey does anyone understand how to get p2k tools to work on linux so i can mess with my moto cell
[04:24] <arrenlex> rbil: The one with the evil eyes. If you find a way to reach him through the screen, tell me too. :)
[04:24] <cyclops> thank you very much arrenlex
[04:24] <kjon> Dr_willis: I can install any kind of game, but I can't play them.
[04:24] <Dr_willis> kjon,  precise.. yet still useless information.. :) heh heh
[04:24] <bimberi> !uuid
[04:24] <ubotu> To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell:  blkid  (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[04:24] <Garre1> Can anyone help me with my ntfs drivers?
[04:24] <Dr_willis> kjon,  try running sol.exe ?
[04:25] <kjon> Dr_willis: I use ATI propetary drivers. It seems they are correctly installed.
[04:25] <rbil> arrenlex: make fun if you want. but this is really serious and crippling
[04:25] <cor1> arrenlex: is your p2k a program for windows if so you may beable to use WINE
[04:25] <ImWindowsFree> hey does anyone understand how to get p2k tools to work on linux so i can mess with my moto cell
[04:25] <kjon> Dr_willis: ^_^
[04:25] <arrenlex> cor1: What?
[04:25] <kjon> Dr_willis: glxinfo throws sane information. (direct render: ok!)
[04:25] <rbil> imagine typing the bootup of the o/s to a particular hard drive. this is worse then bloody Microsoft
[04:25] <kjon> Dr_willis: and I can play tuxracer...
[04:25] <rbil> *tying
[04:26] <kjon> Dr_willis: But my box doesn't do cedega... why?
[04:26] <EnsignRedshirt> ImWindowsFree: While repeating your question can sometimes be effective, I think by now you should realize that, for the moment, there is no one here who can help you.
[04:26] <arrenlex> rbil: You can use the old format if you want. Just change it manually.
[04:26] <zyth> kjon, not all games work.  It could be the game
[04:26] <onlybui> How Can I eject a cdrom if wine is still using the drive its asking me to enter 2nd CD and desktop eject doesnt work?
[04:26] <kjon> zyth: But I used to play a lot zuma deluxe on dapper...
[04:26] <rbil> arrenlex: after making changes to menu.lst do I just reboot or is something else required?
[04:26] <kjon> zyth: I believe that ATI drivers might be faulty...
[04:26] <Topy44> server irc.freenet.de
[04:26] <arrenlex> rbil: Nope, just reboot. Grub reads that file every time.
[04:26] <jrattner_> Question:  I had Beryl working properly all day.  Now all of sudden I rebooted my system, and beryl no longer works.  When executing it from the command line i now get the following error message: libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b
[04:27] <zyth> kjon, erm well I'd imagine that'd work yes.  They work here for me, and I play WoW in wine.
[04:27] <rbil> arrenlex: thankyou
[04:27] <Dr_willis> kjon, could be the games you are trying to run are not well supported.
[04:27] <Dr_willis> kjon,  you got an ati card?
[04:27] <cor1> arrenx: is that p2k a prgram for windows?
[04:27] <arrenlex> cor1: I've never heard of p2k. I think you've confused me with someone else.
[04:27] <kjon> zyth, Dr_willis: When I tryied to launch zuma manually, by issuing cedega (blah blah blah) zuma.exe,
[04:27] <zyth> kjon, did you turn off compositite in your xorg.conf?
[04:27] <rbil> I'd still like to report to someone with Ubuntu just how bad this move was.
[04:28] <tim167> how do i make an image with an alpha channel in it ?
[04:28] <rbil> Any idea how to do this?
[04:28] <kjon> I got an error. Something Like "BadWindow"...
[04:28] <onlybui> so does anyone know how I can fix this wine Cd-ROM issue?
[04:28] <kjon> zyth, Yes I did. I got direct rendering working perfectly.
[04:28] <mbrnoob> hi room
[04:28] <EnsignRedshirt> tim167: You could try asking in #gimp

[04:40] <kjon> arrenlex: ^.^

[04:41] <arrenlex> mbrnoob: Pastebin the entire output of sudo fdisk -l please.
[04:41] <mbrnoob> pastebin?

[04:43] <kjon> arrenlex: Another way might be to try an chroot....
[04:43] <cafuego_> nekohayo: just wave someone else's

[04:43] <arrenlex> kjon: That's what I was going to do to him.
[04:43] <nekohayo> cafuego_: but then, I'm not sure waving pants around with an 8 hours timezone difference will work :|
[04:43] <kjon> arrenlex: copying the mtab... and blah blah blah (the gentoo way)
[04:43] <cafuego_> nekohayo: tried emailing him?
[04:44] <arrenlex> kjon: Why do you need to copy the mtab if the system is already installed? You only need to mount /proc, and then grub-install /dev/sda. I've done it tons of times.
[04:44] <llama32> anyone know of a media player accessible over HTTP? like, something that just uses a web server as it's GUI?
[04:44] <nekohayo> cafuego_ yeah a week ago ;_;
[04:44] <cafuego_> Tssk, what a bad man.
[04:44] <nekohayo> indeed
[04:44] <kjon> arrenlex: nopes, because grub-install relies on mtab, and not on /proc.
[04:44] <mbrnoob> should I explain what I did to get myself in this situation?
[04:44] <cafuego_> nekohayo: maybe send him a ping on here
[04:44] <nekohayo> he does appear in this channel?

[04:45] <arrenlex> kjon: Then how do you explain that I've done it so many times successfully?
[04:45] <cafuego_> not often, but he is in #linux-aus

[04:50] <kjon> mbrnoob:  why don't you try and mkfs.xfs /dev/sda ?? :P (joking!)
[04:50] <arrenlex> mbrnoob: Sure?
[04:50] <aliasd> i have played it on this puter before but never started it
[04:50] <kjon> mbrnoob: did you try the chroot trick? did it work?
[04:51] <HymnToLife> oh, and how did you play it without starting it ?
[04:51] <mbrnoob> I tried to install fiesty on an external usb drive (sdc)
[04:51] <arrenlex> kjon: (20:48:40) mbrnoob: /dev/sda: Not found or not a block device.
[04:51] <TheFettMan> hello where do I go to discuss future releases od Ubuntu (feisty, ubuntu multimedia edition)

[04:51] <mbrnoob> arren that error came when I tried grub-install
[04:52] <mike1> how can I identify a redirected server.  I have a website FTP password but not the address of the actual server the site sits on.  It's redirected from the URL
[04:52] <arrenlex> mbrnoob: Yep. I'm telling kjon.
[04:52] <kjon> mbrnoob: try the following
[04:52] <CharlieSu> I'm currently using 6.10 Edgy and would like to know how to upgrade to 7.04 alpha 4 but I don't know how..  could somebody tell me the easiest way to upgrade my current install (i know it isn't stable)
[04:52] <kjon> mbrnoob: have a look at your 'fdisk -l' output...
[04:52] <kjon> mbrnoob: what's your root partition?
[04:52] <mbrnoob> charliesu, don't try installing it to a usb drive
[04:52] <TheFettMan> so I installed Ubuntu 6.10 on my external harddrive and got it working can I help?
[04:53] <CharlieSu> mbrnoob: why not?
[04:53] <GMWeezel> How can I label removable disks and USB drives?
[04:53] <mbrnoob> how do I know which one is root from the fdisk -l?
[04:53] <mbrnoob> becuase charlie, you'll be in here trying to get grub to work again
[04:53] <Dr_willis> GMWeezel,   tune2fs -L    (or is it -l) i forget
[04:53] <GMWeezel> mbrnoob: the one jthat says "/"
[04:53] <HymnToLife> mbrnoob, you don't, you need to remmeber how you partitioned your disk ;)
[04:53] <doojin> hi
[04:53] <doojin> I'm on windows now
[04:53] <doojin> I have two oses
[04:53] <mbrnoob> none of them show mount points
[04:53] <doojin> ubuntu got weird
[04:54] <kjon> mbrnoob: Do you have 2 partitions?
[04:54] <kjon> mbrnoob: winblowz and ubunu?
[04:54] <mbrnoob> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6509/
[04:54] <doojin> I don't know where the xserver configuration is
[04:54] <arrenlex> doojin: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:54] <mbrnoob> afaik, I have two drives, one with XP and the other with edgy
[04:54] <kjon> well..
[04:54] <doojin> arrenlex : Is it for ubuntu 2.10?
[04:54] <doojin> oops
[04:54] <doojin> 6.10
[04:54] <kjon> mbrnoob: gimme a sec
[04:54] <mbrnoob> ok
[04:54] <cyris> hey everyone
[04:55] <arrenlex> doojin: ...wtf is ubuntu 2.10
[04:55] <doojin> 6.10
[04:55] <tonyyarusso> lol
[04:55] <arrenlex> doojin: Oh, that's better. xD
[04:55] <TheFettMan> mbrnoob: I just installed Ubuntu Edgy on an external HDD and it wouldn't boot Ubuntu until I went and changed sda in the /boot/grub/menu.lst and the /etc/fstab to sdb (this must be done so grub doesn't try to read the internal harddrive)
[04:55] <kjon> mbrnoob: issue the following as root:
[04:55] <arrenlex> doojin: Yes, it is.
[04:55] <kjon> mbrnoob: grub
[04:55] <kjon> mbrnoob: then, root (hd1,0)
[04:55] <mbrnoob> do I get out of the chroot thing?
[04:55] <doojin> Let's hope ubuntu manual has xconfiguration app described in it.
[04:55] <FarrisG> Anyone know why DVD burning is still so damn slow with k3b?
[04:55] <mbrnoob> I'll just use a new terminal
[04:56] <kjon> mbrnoob: yes, get out of the chrooted environment
[04:56] <arrenlex> !dma | FarrisG
[04:56] <ubotu> FarrisG: dma is Direct Memory Access/Addressing. It makes hard disks & optical drives transfer data faster, and is almost always enabled in Ubuntu 6.06. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DMA
[04:56] <kjon> mbrnoob: and then setup (hd1)
[04:56] <Dr_willis> FarrisG,  i find it faster on my Linux box then under windows.
[04:56] <FlimFlamMan> could wireless possibly be any more screwed up
[04:57] <doojin> arrenlex : I installed nvidia-glx through synaptic manager and rebooted, and xserver didn't work, what do you think is the problem?
[04:57] <arrenlex> !doesn't work | doojin
[04:57] <ubotu> doojin: Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel)
[04:57] <mbrnoob> Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition
[04:57] <doojin> arrenlex : synaptic manager description said I have to execute "sudo nvidia-glx-config enable" after I install nvidia-glx driver.
[04:58] <doojin> "sudo nvidia-glx-config enable" didn't work since there was no kernel driver.
[04:58] <doojin> so I thought it might work after rebooting
[04:58] <doojin> After I rebooted, xserver didn't work at all
[04:58] <arrenlex> doojin: okay. How are you on IRC right now?
[04:58] <HymnToLife> doojin, you're running edgy, nvidia-glx-config is for Dapper end older
[04:58] <doojin> I'm on windows
[04:58] <kjon> mbrnoob: an easier way might be: grub-install /dev/sdb
[04:58] <mbrnoob> can I install nvidia on the livecd?  this scrolling is killing me
[04:58] <HymnToLife> doojin, run   nvidia-xconfig         instead
[04:58] <doojin> I am dual os user
[04:58] <cor1> if you have automatix then when you open it there  shoudld be a selection were you can download the drivers for Nvidia
[04:59] <HymnToLife> !automatix
[04:59] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[04:59] <arrenlex> doojin: You'll need to install the restricted modules before you do that.
[04:59] <doojin> HymnToLife : what is it?
[04:59] <doojin> arrenlex : before I do do what?
[04:59] <ikonone> everytime i try to boot from an ubuntu/xubuntu cd I run the check and it says my kernel image is corrupt...  I have downloaded the iso
[04:59] <HymnToLife> doojin, if you have installed nvidia-glx _and_ the restricted modules, run sudo nvidia-xconfig and voil
[04:59] <ikonone> everytime i try to boot from an ubuntu/xubuntu cd I run the check and it says my kernel image is corrupt...  I have downloaded the iso's several times and now have like 10 cds...
[05:00] <FarrisG> DMA is enabled. Has been. But I still can only get ~2x our of my 16x DVD burner
[05:00] <arrenlex> doojin: Before you run nvidia-xconfig
[05:00] <mbrnoob> kjon it complains about not finding /boot
[05:00] <doojin> HymnToLife : synaptic manager didn't explain it was for older version
[05:00] <FarrisG> I see tons of unresolved forum posts with the same problem as well
[05:00] <HymnToLife> the wiki does ;)
[05:00] <HymnToLife> !nvidia
[05:00] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:00] <TheFettMan> mbrnoob: did you look at my solution to my external harddrive issue?
[05:00] <doojin> nvidia-xconfig requires me to remove nvidia-glx
[05:00] <mbrnoob> no I missed it, thefettman
[05:00] <kaje1> well, compiz seems to be working fine except I am still losing my window frames (titlebar, minimize button, close button)
[05:00] <canito> hi all
[05:00] <doojin> nvidia-xconfig wants to get rid of nvidia-glx
[05:00] <TheFettMan> mbrnoob: I will paste it
[05:01] <mbrnoob> I don't even have my usb drive plugged in anymore
[05:01] <kaje1> anyone have any ideas of what could be causing that?
[05:01] <TheFettMan> mbrnoob: I just installed Ubuntu Edgy on an external HDD and it wouldn't boot Ubuntu until I went and changed sda in the /boot/grub/menu.lst and the /etc/fstab to sdb (this must be done so grub doesn't try to read the internal harddrive)
[05:01] <Chest> is the most current Nvidia driver for ubuntu 1.0-8776?
[05:01] <doojin> ok
[05:01] <doojin> HymnToLife, arrenlex : I remove nvidia-glx and install nvidia-xconfig
[05:01] <HymnToLife> Chest, for _which_ ubuntu ?
[05:01] <Chest> sorry, edgy
[05:01] <HymnToLife> doojin, don't !
[05:02] <Music_Shuffle> HymnToLife, ...too late, ne?
[05:02] <HymnToLife> :/
[05:02] <doojin> HymnToLife : why not?
[05:02] <Music_Shuffle> lol
[05:02] <HymnToLife> reinstall nvidia-glx, then
[05:02] <doojin> I reinstalled nvidia-glx
[05:02] <canito> anyone have a repository for the latest listen audio player release (0.5) or a .deb package?, the edgy package is old :(
[05:02] <TheFettMan> mbrnoob: in Linux your external drives are always hdb or sdb while the internal drives are hda or sda (assuming you have only 1 internal and 1 external drive)
[05:02] <doojin> already
[05:02] <HymnToLife> doojin, because nvidia-xconfig is part of the nvidia-glx package
[05:02] <arrenlex> canito: You could always compile it.
[05:02] <d99n> anyone know how to disable automatic login from the console on edgy?
[05:02] <Chest> Nvidia's site says 9746
[05:02] <HymnToLife> and if you instal nvidia-xconfig with it's own packaghe
[05:03] <HymnToLife> it will remove nvidia-glx, which you need
[05:03] <mbrnoob> when I look at my menu.lst I don't even see an entry for fiesty.  it looks just like it did before I tried to install anything
[05:03] <Vilhelms> What would be a good way to run a 3d game and be able to switch over to gnome and back? I tried switching workspaces with key bindings but they don't seem to work when running a game in fullscreen.
[05:03] <TheFettMan> mbrnoob: so if you have not changed grub's menu.lst file and the /etc/fstab file it will try to read from the internal drive
[05:03] <doojin> HymnToLife : In synaptic manager, installing nvidia-xconfig requires removing nvidia-glx
[05:03] <HymnToLife> doojin, don't instal nvidia-xconfig
[05:03] <HymnToLife> it's already part of nvidia-glx package
[05:03] <Music_Shuffle> Vilhelms, multiple X sessions maybe?
[05:03] <HymnToLife> just run the command from a terminal
[05:03] <mbrnoob> right now I want it to read from the internal drive
[05:03] <canito> arrenlex: I have problems compiling it, problems with one dependence, mutagen
[05:03] <doojin> HymnToLife : so it all comes back to the beginning
[05:03] <eniacpx> Can I set my Linux router up to accept remote authentication requests?
[05:04] <TheFettMan> mbrnoob: in that case try adding an entry for feisty, I don't know the entry for feisty but a couple googles would find it I assume
[05:04] <eniacpx> from within the LAN
[05:04] <doojin> HymnToLife : what command?
[05:04] <arrenlex> !python-mutagen | canito
[05:04] <ubotu> canito: python-mutagen: audio metadata editing library. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.7.1-0ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 66 kB, installed size 368 kB
[05:04] <HymnToLife> doojin, sudo nvidia-xconfig
[05:04] <doojin> HymnToLife : The synaptic manager said "sudo nvidia-glx-config enable"
[05:05] <Chest> damn, 1.0-8776 was released in October.
[05:05] <HymnToLife> doojin, and I say nvidia-xconfig
[05:05] <HymnToLife> the wiki says that too
[05:05] <HymnToLife> !nvidia
[05:05] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:05] <doojin> HymnToLife : Why does the synaptic manager say wrong commands?
[05:05] <HymnToLife> doojin, it was right for Dapper and older
[05:05] <Chest> ubotu: that doesn't install the latest drivers.
[05:05] <HymnToLife> not in Edgy
[05:05] <threethirty> Hi everyone
[05:05] <Chest> it installs the latest Ubuntu drivers.
[05:06] <doojin> HymnToLife : so the description wasn't updated
[05:06] <Vilhelms> What would be a good way to run a 3d game and be able to switch over to gnome and back? I tried switching workspaces with key bindings but they don't seem to work when running a game in fullscreen. I tried multiple X sessions but that seems to give me horrible performance
[05:06] <HymnToLife> Chest, it wasn't for you.. anyway, define "latest"
[05:06] <TheFettMan> mbrnoob: have you any success?
[05:06] <elyon225> Chest: It installs CONFIRMED working drivers :)
[05:06] <ezekiel72> anyone in here used ubuntu as a server?
[05:06] <eniacpx> elyon225, I do
[05:06] <Chest> yeah, well that aint the latest
[05:06] <HymnToLife> ezekiel72, I'm using it as a server right now
[05:06] <Chest> from nvidias site
[05:06] <ezekiel72> how is it?
[05:06] <elyon225> eniacpx: You do what?
[05:06] <canito> arrenlex: I have it, but I get the "ImportError: Need mutagen >= 1.8" error, and I already have the 1.10.1 version
[05:06] <cyris> ezekiel72: i do at work, domain controler
[05:06] <mbrnoob> here is my menu.lst http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6511/
[05:06] <ezekiel72> so would you suggest it for a easy to run server?
[05:06] <HymnToLife> I'm pretty sure the wiki page has instructions about installing the nvidia one
[05:06] <eniacpx> elyon225: Use Ubuntu as a server
[05:06] <TheFettMan> mbrnoob: I found this forum topic on ubuntuforums.org it should help.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=356963
[05:06] <Chest> considering 8776 is 3 generations removed, I'd say the drivers work okay.
[05:07] <elyon225> eniacpx: I didn't ask that ;)
[05:07] <Chest> ubuntu is just slackin'
[05:07] <Brismetal> Hi guys, I'm getting ":-( Not an MMC unit!" errors when trying to use GnomeBaker with my Pioneer DVD-109 drive.  It fails burning and spits that out (only about 20 seconds after I click burn)  What can I try?
[05:07] <cyris> ezekiel72: ubuntu works great as a domain controler for windows
[05:07] <HymnToLife> it's not difficult anyway, install headers and b-e, run the shell script, voil
[05:07] <elyon225> Chest: So why don't you get onto the Ubuntu team and tell them? ;)
[05:07] <cor1> how do you fix broken packages
[05:07] <eniacpx> elyon225: Oops. :)

[05:09] <spua7> ezekiel72: why did you ask
[05:09] <HymnToLife> elyon225, Free Software ? :p
[05:09] <cor1> packages*
[05:10] <elyon225> zyth: Gotcha
[05:10] <test3D> thanks
[05:10] <ahave_> could some one name me a distro that would resemble vista in terms of UI flash that has a liveCD?
[05:10] <elyon225> test3D: If you have an NVidia card, I highly recommend using the automatic install script instructions :)
[05:10] <cyris> ezekiel72: i think i have a good job :D
[05:10] <test3D> so jsut install beryl and I am done?
[05:10] <Brismetal> ahh well, look like yet another thing I need to boot back into windows to do then (burning a CD) damn
[05:10] <HymnToLife> ahave_, you could try Sabayon has Beryl enabled by default
[05:10] <elyon225> test3D: Go to www.beryl-project.org and start there.
[05:10] <HymnToLife> test3D, support for Beryl in #ubuntu-effects, please
[05:11] <elyon225> test3D: Don't follow the Ubuntu wiki... doesn't work very well.
[05:11] <Chest> beryl has gotten sophisticated.
[05:11] <test3D> elyon225  hmm can you point me to those instructions? I havea 6800nvidia
[05:11] <Chest> the beryl manager is nice.
[05:11] <elyon225> test3D: Sure... one sec and I'll give you the precise link.
[05:11] <test3D> thakns...
[05:11] <elyon225> Chest\
[05:11] <elyon225> Chest: I love it :)
[05:11] <Chest> me too
[05:11] <cyris> ezekiel72: linux is a great addition to any resume.
[05:11] <Vilhelms> What would be a good way to run a 3d game and be able to switch over to gnome and back? I tried switching workspaces with key bindings but they don't seem to work when running a game in fullscreen. I tried multiple X sessions but that seems to give me horrible performance
[05:11] <Chest> altho my gfx card is shite
[05:12] <test3D>   beryl-manager: Depends: beryl-core which is a virtual package.
[05:12] <test3D> hmm?
[05:12] <ahave_> HymnToLife, thanks
[05:12] <HymnToLife> test3D, support for Beryl in #ubuntu-effects, please
[05:12] <elyon225> Vilhelms: Just like Windows, switching between a 3D game and the desktop isn't a good idea.
[05:12] <test3D> thakns. Hy
[05:13] <Vilhelms> elyon225, I used to do it fine in Windows... never had a problem

[05:15] <riotkittie> i want to copy my ubuntu install over to my external and try booting it. :o
[05:15] <mike234> spua7:  i can do that but is there a way to have a shortcut like the cdrom one?
[05:16] <Dna^> how i can update my ubuntu 5.10 to 6? :S
[05:16] <kitche> riotkittie: hope your not using slackware.com a mirror would be faster
[05:16] <TheFettMan> mbrnoob: any success?
[05:16] <spua7> yeah use the custom launcher
[05:16] <Patrizio_M> hi

[05:16] <transgress_> what is scrollkeeper-up?
[05:16] <transgress_> it's whoring out my processor atm
[05:17] <Dna^> ubotu can i install the dapper version from terminal?
[05:17] <riotkittie> transgress_: try 'whatis scrollkeeper-up' in a term, without the quotes
[05:17] <Patrizio_M> qualcuno italiano?
[05:17] <denardo> I'm trying to get emacs running under X ( the non-X version works fine) under Edgy, but the fonts turn into little boxes. Googling suggests that the problem might have something to do with something called Xft, but I have no idea what that is or what to do.
[05:17] <Borat> transgress, what?
[05:17] <riotkittie> ugh. i cant get used to the home/end/pg up/down stuff on my new keyboard
[05:17] <mbrnoob> w
[05:17] <mbrnoob> it worked!
[05:17] <mbrnoob> feels good to be home again
[05:18] <arrenlex> mbrnoob: Congrats!
[05:18] <Dna^> can i install the dapper version from the terminal? :S
[05:18] <arrenlex> mbrnoob: Who helped you out?
[05:18] <riotkittie> dunno what "it" is, but congrats, mbrnoob
[05:18] <mbrnoob> thank you arrenlex, kjon, and thefettman for your help
[05:18] <TheFettMan> mbrnoob: got it working did you?
[05:18] <transgress_> riotkittie: nothing appropriate...
[05:18] <mbrnoob> yes, I'm happily back on edgy
[05:18] <TheFettMan> mbrnoob: what happened to feisty?
[05:19] <mbrnoob> it's probably still installed on the unplugged usb drive
[05:19] <sean13> Hey
[05:19] <denardo> I'm frustrated that I can't get something as basic as Emacs to work.
[05:19] <sean13> is xchat gnome that only xchat that is in the repositories?
[05:19] <Dna^> i wanna update my ubuntu version (5.10) to 6.10
[05:19] <TheFettMan> mbrnoob:oh ok so you couldn't get back to using edgy
[05:19] <elyon225> Could someone tell me why, when I open a file browser, it quite often will open 4 or more of them?
[05:19] <kitche> sean13: no regular xchat is there also
[05:19] <Dr_willis> xft = the x font server.. which i dont think is used mych any more
[05:19] <elyon225> For example, clicking on Places -> Home will open up about 4 different file browsers of my /home/ directory.
[05:19] <Dr_willis> i think.. or was that xfs
[05:20] <kitche> Dr_willis: xfs is a filesystem :)
[05:20] <mbrnoob> right.  installing fiesty to the external killed grub so I couldn't boot back to edgy on my internal
[05:20] <sean13> kitche: i've enabled main and universe but I can only find xchat-gnome, I can't find ethereal or wireshark either
[05:20] <Dr_willis> kitche,  thats why i said it was the font server. :)
[05:20] <kitche> !xchat
[05:20] <ubotu> xchat: IRC client for X similar to AmIRC. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.6.6-0ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 275 kB, installed size 760 kB
[05:20] <denardo> Dr_willis: So any idea what to do about it?
[05:20] <Dr_willis> sean13,  you did to a 'apt-get update' after enabling those
[05:20] <doojin> I found nvidia driver installation manual in ubuntu.com, but it is written for every distro
[05:20] <cor1> how do you install GAIM 2.0 beta 6
[05:21] <Dr_willis> denardo,  not really. i aint messed with emacs in ages.. not seen anyone else in here with that issue.. could check the wiki/forums
[05:21] <cor1> !gaim
[05:21] <mbrnoob> now I have to figure out how to boot to fiesty because I do want to try it, but I'll deal with that tomorrow
[05:21] <ubotu> Instant Messenger Clients: Gaim (GNOME, http://help.ubuntu.com/community/GaimHowto), Kopete (KDE), both supporting MSN, Jabber, AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ and IRC.
[05:21] <TheFettMan> mbrnoob: ah I see, with your external you might be able to get fesity installed and not hurt GRUB by unplugging your internal while you are doing it
[05:21] <Dna^> how i can install ubuntu 6.10 from my 5.10 version
[05:21] <Dna^> 
[05:21] <mbrnoob> I can't unplug my internal.  I'm on a laptop
[05:21] <cor1> gotta rebot brb
[05:22] <riotkittie> oh, question about GRUB and internals and all of that. can you not get around that by just unmounting the internal?
[05:22] <sean13> Dr_willis: ha! no I didn't, i'm used to the erlier versions of Ubuntu where it automatically does apt-get update
[05:22] <sean13> thanks for reminding me
[05:22] <Dr_willis> sean13,  where/hen did it do that? :) i never seen that.
[05:22] <riotkittie> im also on a laptop, and even if i can find a screwdriver, i'm not at all comfortable with the idea of opening the case and poking around.
[05:22] <d99n> anyone have any luck getting beryl to work with latest kernel distro last week?
[05:22] <TheFettMan> mbrnoob: oh ok I see
[05:23] <elyon225> When is Feisty stable being released?
[05:23] <riotkittie> elyon225: april
[05:23] <sean13> Dr_willis: When adding extra repositores using synaptic it would remind you that you needed to refresh
[05:23] <elyon225> riotkittie: Oh sweet... not long.
[05:23] <mbrnoob> thanks again for your help fettman (and arrenlex and kjon) -- I'm off
[05:23] <elyon225> riotkittie: And updating is stable, right?  Or will I need to reinstall it?
[05:23] <Dr_willis> sean13,  yes.. it still does that if you add them with synaptic..
[05:23] <TheFettMan> mbrnoob: probably what happening is when you installed GRUB (in the Feisty install screen) you didn't change the GRUB install to hd1 instead of hd0.. I have made the same mistake
[05:23] <valehru__> Hey guys, from a DVD how could I make a disc image?
[05:23] <Dr_willis> sean13,  atleast it did for me the other day
[05:23] <riotkittie> elyon225:  that i don't know. sorry.
[05:23] <Dna^> hi, how i can update my ubuntu 5.10 to 6.10?
[05:23] <mbrnoob> fiesty's install was all automatic
[05:24] <sean13> Dr_willis: it didn't for me just there, unless I missed it
[05:24] <sean13> brb
[05:24] <mbrnoob> I told it it could have its way with the entire hard drive, and that was the thanks I got :)
[05:24] <elyon225> I hope they allow a customization of packages during the install of Feisty... that drove me nuts about Ubuntu... no control over what gets installed.
[05:24] <TheFettMan> valehru___: you could just a disc copying program and choose copy to an image
[05:24] <valehru__> TheFettMan, what one is good for gnome?
[05:25] <Dr_willis> elyon225,  dont count on it
[05:25] <Patrizio_M> you read me?
[05:25] <riotkittie> elyon225: ive heard that you can do that to some extent if you use the alternate install disc but i have yet to try them myself and am not positive
[05:25] <elyon225> Dr_willis: Yeah... just wishful thinking.
[05:25] <mbrnoob> arrenlex are you still here?
[05:25] <elyon225> riotkittie: I've used the alternative disc and I didn't notice any such option.
[05:25] <riotkittie> elyon225: ah. that sucks.
[05:25] <Dr_willis> i think its part of the OEM options
[05:25] <TheFettMan> valehru___: I would recommend GnomeBaker it is proclaimed  the best DVD/CD program for Ubuntu
[05:25] <riotkittie> i hate having to go through and remove a bunch of stuff that i dont want/need  :\
[05:26] <TheFettMan> valehru___: I have not personally made disc images with it but I assume it is possible
[05:26] <TheFettMan> mbrnoob: hmm not having options during an install seems bad for Feisty
[05:27] <elyon225> Dr_willis: Ah...that's possible.  I never ran the oem install
[05:27] <Dna^> hi, how i can update my ubuntu 5.10 to 6.10?
[05:27] <mbrnoob> I'll work on it some more and report back fettman.  right now I have to leave
[05:27] <d99n> anyone know how to disable automatic login from the console?  latest updated killed beryl and now i'm automatically logged into a white screen
[05:27] <mbrnoob> thanks again
[05:27] <hanasaki> suddenly... my firefox takes about 20 mins to come up after choosing a profile in profilemanager... The CPU is not in high utilization...   anyone have an idea where to look?  I have totally killed all profiles under the userID and made a new profile.. the results are the same... this started after installing the flash9 plugin from the script on macromedia's sitte
[05:28] <Dna^> hi, how i can update my ubuntu 5.10 to 6.10?
[05:29] <doojin> hi
[05:29] <doojin> After I executed "sudo nvidia-xconfig" and rebooted, xserver works
[05:29] <doojin> But
[05:30] <doojin> The screen resolution is limited
[05:30] <doojin> It was 1280x1024 previously
[05:30] <ultimate> hey guys
[05:30] <arrenlex> hanasaki: mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla.bak
[05:30] <bleanna_unux> hey. i have a 320 gb drive and it seems i only get 298 GB out of it, does that seem correct?
[05:30] <FlimFlamMan> "ipw3945: radio frequency kill switch is on.  kill switch must be turned off for wireless networking to work."  <--- anyone know how to fix this??
[05:30] <ultimate> can anyone tell me what i can do to fix my sound
[05:30] <doojin> After "sudo nvidia-xconfig", it was limited to 1024x768
[05:30] <hanasaki> arrenlex: fyi.. thunderbird is slow to come up too
[05:30] <hanasaki> same issue?
[05:30] <ultimate> it was working before but after reinstalling it totally dissapeared
[05:30] <doojin> What is wrong?
[05:30] <arrenlex> hanasaki: It's just a suggestion to try. It might not help.
[05:31] <ultimate> when i go to preferences sound i see nothing under default sound
[05:31] <RamiKassab> hey guys I've looked everywhere and can't find an application for Linux that enables you to make notes on PDFs. Does anyone know of one?
[05:31] <hanasaki> arrenlex: nope.. no help :( same issue
[05:31] <bauer77> DNa^ I think you need to go upgrade to 6. 06 Dapper and then to Edgy Eft
[05:31] <doojin> hmm
[05:31] <RamiKassab> obviously acroread doesn't allow for that but the full version of acrobat has the capability of adding notes to PDFs
[05:31] <RamiKassab> I tried installing Scribus and it doesn't do what I want either
[05:31] <RamiKassab> in fact it can't even open the PDF I want to work on
[05:32] <pilgrim> Hi, from the "services" program I stopped acpid and then I couldn't start it again (would say somfile in /proc was busy or something) so I uninstalled acpid and some things that depended on it. Now I can't install it because it fails at configuration with this error: invoke-rc.d: initscript acpid, action "start" failed.
[05:32] <pilgrim> Could someone please help?
[05:32] <car_watt> ahh hi ~ im have problem with my sound card I have a sound blaster car and speaker 5.1
[05:32] <bauer77> Me personally would back up the important info and do a fresh install.
[05:32] <car_watt> but only 2 speker has a sound
[05:32] <binarydigit> RamiKassab: http://www.ecademix.com/JohannesHofmann/flpsed.html
[05:32] <ultimate> i just want sound
[05:32] <ultimate> i got nothing
[05:32] <ultimate> you know how annoying that is
[05:32] <ultimate> i finally got beryl to work to
[05:32] <ultimate> too
[05:33] <ultimate> and now the osund goes kaput
[05:33] <doojin> arrenlex : do you see me?
[05:33] <doojin> arrenlex : you know why the screen resolution is limited to 1024x768 after "sudo nvidia-xconfig"?
[05:33] <TheFettMan> valehru___: have you tried GnomeBaker?
[05:34] <cafuego_> RamiKassab: Uh, acroread?
[05:34] <Sulo_Seppa> 5.04 was so nice.. what happened?
[05:34] <valehru__> TheFettMan, Doing it now in Gnomebaker
[05:34] <TheFettMan> valehru___: allrgiht tell me the result
[05:34] <RamiKassab> cafuego: acroread for linux doesn't have that capability
[05:34] <valehru__> TheFettMan, seems to be working fine
[05:34] <RamiKassab> cafuego: or I'm just looking in the wrong place
[05:35] <RamiKassab> binarydigit: I will give flpsed a try
[05:35] <pilgrim> bauer77: was that a suggestion for me?
[05:35] <TheFettMan> valehru___: allrgiht I guess all there is to do now is test the iso
[05:35] <Sulo_Seppa> any gnome users switching for kde4?
[05:36] <gverig> Howdy! I'm in my 3rd day trying to straighten out 6.10 with varying luck. Right now I am trying to battle sound- sometime after boot up Ubuntu does not see my card (onboard chipset really) but that might be a hardware issue (have had it for a while with windows too). But often after it sees sound card and produces sound on startup it then drops sound. Not a peek. Apps look like they are  playing
[05:36] <bauer77> pilgrim: no what is your issue
[05:36] <TheFettMan> what is kde4? is it less clunky than the kde on knoppix
[05:36] <pilgrim> bauer77: long one....read above.
[05:36] <cafuego_> RamiKassab: Hmm, looks like it does indeed not allow you to.
[05:36] <pilgrim> bauer77: can't copy and paste coz I'm lockedo ut of the gui
[05:36] <nickreynolds> does anyone know if its possible to run the X display through putty on a windows machine
[05:37] <bauer77> I see it Pilgrim. Do you remember what the PID number was?
[05:37] <TheFettMan> gverig: I had issues woth sound when I was using Ubuntu for the first time
[05:37] <Sulo_Seppa> why putty?
[05:37] <bauer77> That doesnt look so good
[05:37] <FlimFlamMan> "ipw3945: radio frequency kill switch is on.  kill switch must be turned off for wireless networking to work."  <--- anyone know how to fix this??
[05:37] <Sulo_Seppa> it'd work...
[05:37] <pilgrim> bauer77: pid of what?
[05:37] <opshds> I have windows xp on my primary drive as my primary os, I want to install the latest Ubuntu release (edgy?) as a dual boot option. I've tried the exe install and I ended up with a hardware error, couldn't find the drive or something along those lines
[05:37] <bauer77> of the process that you stopped
[05:37] <RamiKassab> cafuego: yah unfortunately :(
[05:37] <arrenlex> FlimFlamMan: Flip the button on your laptop to enable wireless =P
[05:37] <opshds> Anyone have any suggestions?
[05:37] <doojin> arrenlex : you know why the screen resolution is limited to 1024x768 after "sudo nvidia-xconfig"?
[05:37] <gverig> TheFettMan: heh... I have had issues with it almost every time I installed it. Any suggestions what to look for?
[05:37] <cafuego_> stupid @%^$%& closed source software ;-)
[05:37] <bauer77> opshds: are you selecting to install in on the second partition?
[05:37] <bimberi> nickreynolds: No. You'd need VNC or FreeNX
[05:38] <arrenlex> !fixres | doojin
[05:38] <ubotu> doojin: 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
[05:38] <FlimFlamMan> arrenlex: i tried that - on one setting, wireless doesnt work.  on another setting, i get a "soft lockup on cpu#0" and the boot process freezes.
[05:38] <nickreynolds> is the anyway to initate a session in X display via the command line
[05:38] <pilgrim> bauer77: oh...I was using the System> admin>processes thing to "stop" the process...I think it acutally stops it from running on startup
[05:38] <nickreynolds> i have a standalone box without mouse, keyboard, or monitor
[05:39] <cafuego_> pilgrim: No, it only stops it running now. (Doesn't  kill it, stops it)
[05:39] <opshds> bauer66 it's actually a second hard drive...
[05:39] <opshds> bauer77
[05:39] <TheFettMan> gverig: I have a soundcard and an onboard sound device so I disabled the onboard sound and that fixed it, although going to the ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy should help
[05:39] <bauer77> opshds what is the drive currently formatted as?
[05:39] <Comrade-Sergei> how can i tell what version of ubuntu im using? a command
[05:39] <cafuego_> pilgrim: If you need it to not start at bootup, use system>admin>services
[05:39] <hak0> installing ubuntu from the network ? anyone ?
[05:39] <cafuego_> Comrade-Sergei: lsb_release -a
[05:39] <Comrade-Sergei> thanks
[05:39] <Comrade-Sergei> 'i forgot
[05:39] <pilgrim> cafuego_: I have no idea what happened in that case. All I did was uncheck the "acpid" and then I notice no battery information was present and then tried to start it up using shell but to no avail
[05:39] <doojin> arrenlex : thanks
[05:40] <pilgrim> cafuego_: that's what I used
[05:40] <Comrade-Sergei> YES IM UP TO EDGY NOW!
[05:40] <TheFettMan> gverig: just search for sound on the page and look at all of the things and try ones that seem appropriate
[05:40] <Comrade-Sergei> hehe
[05:40] <pilgrim> cafuego_: I was just goofing around and looking for service I don't use....didn't know acpid was needed
[05:40] <imbecile_> hey i'm installing kdm when i reboot i should be able to pick desktops correct?

[05:41] <cafuego_> pilgrim: But if you like cpu speed scaling, system suspend and system status monitoring it's kinda handy.
[05:41] <kitche> S0nyX: did you install build-essential?
[05:41] <imbecile_> ok i'll bbiam im gonna try out kde
[05:41] <opshds> bauer77 and clean
[05:41] <imbecile_> *poof*
[05:41] <TheFettMan> gverig: check back and see if any of those things work
[05:41] <pilgrim> cafuego_: but anyway...ubuntu-destkop depends on it....so when trying to "fix" it I completely removed everything that depended on it and itself (apcid) now can't get it to install again coz it fails at config.
[05:41] <S0nyX> how do i check if it
[05:42] <S0nyX> if it is installed*
[05:42] <cafuego_> S0nyX: It's not.
[05:42] <cafuego_> S0nyX: (dpkg -l build-erssential)
[05:42] <TheFettMan> S0nyX: just do sudo aptitude install build-essential
[05:42] <cafuego_> Also, use --prefix=/usr/local
[05:42] <skyfish> Hi all, when I type beryl into the terminal, it says detected xserver AIGLX; is it possible to change it to XGL?
[05:43] <cafuego_> or a packaged version of what you're building
[05:43] <kitche> skyfish: yes install XGL
[05:43] <S0nyX> ok so i just write dpkg -l build-erssential on the terminal?
[05:43] <pilgrim> cafuego_: so the question becomes how do I resolve this issue: invoke-rc.d: initscript acpid, action "start" failed.
[05:43] <cafuego_> skyfish: I'm 99% sure you don't want XGL over AIGLX.
[05:43] <skyfish> kitche: I think I've done that through synaptic
[05:43] <gverig> TheFettMan: alsa-utils restart helped :-\ last time I had sh*t like that it was due to multiple engines trying to access DSP
[05:43] <skyfish> kitche: so I'm not sure why it's still detecting AIGLX
[05:44] <kitche> skyfish: probably because when you log in your not using xgl your just use xserver-xorg
[05:44] <skyfish> cafuego: I'm using fglrx so I can't use AIGLX
[05:44] <cafuego_> Ah, heh. ATI. I'll shut up then.
[05:44] <TheFettMan> gverig: so sound is working?
[05:44] <cafuego_> pilgrim: It might depend on something else, dunno.
[05:44] <TheFettMan> gverig: could you clue me in I am not familiar with with DSP
[05:44] <S0nyX> No packages found matching build-essential.
[05:45] <skyfish> kitche: yup~ I tried logging in with an xgl session and it gave me a white screen and I read one of the solutions would be to manually launch beryl through a normal Gnome session
[05:45] <skyfish> cafuego_: hehe, np xD
[05:45] <TheFettMan> S0nyX: just download build-essential from the internet and sudo dpkg -i the package
[05:45] <tonyyarusso> skyfish: FYI, my card recently started working for AIGLX under the free driver in Feisty.
[05:45] <opshds> bauer77 Another problem I've had is my system will completely reboot after the initial boot screen for the live cds loads initrd... no error messages, just a reboot to my graphics card bios
[05:45] <ferret_0567> With the Xubuntu 6.10 alternate CD installer, can I install GRUB on a XFS file system with the bootable flag that is on hdb?
[05:45] <S0nyX> i'm using synaptic package manager
[05:45] <S0nyX> is that ok?
[05:46] <imbecile> K i installed k desktop environment so now i have gnome as well... how do i choose between the 2 desktops
[05:46] <cafuego_> d'oh! d'oh! d'oh!
[05:46] <skyfish> tonyyarusso: do you mean the radeon driver?
[05:46] <arrenlex> imbecile: Log out and choose a different session in gdm.
[05:46] <tonyyarusso> skyfish: yes.
[05:46] <imbecile> arrenlex,  how do i choose the other session?
[05:46] <sethk> imbecile, at the login screen, click on session, choose which one you want
[05:47] <pilgrim> cafuego_: so, since you're like the top dog in this channel, where do I turn to now?
[05:47] <imbecile> ahhh ok
[05:47] <TheFettMan> S0nyX: use the terminal and type sudo aptitude install build-essential (you can copy and paste this in the terminal using shift+ctrl+v)
[05:47] <imbecile> thanks you guys
[05:47] <skyfish> tonyyarusso: which model is your card? I hesitated using the Radeon 1 because for my card it says 3D is only experimental
[05:47] <imbecile> bbiam
[05:47] <TheFettMan> gverig: so sound is working?
[05:47] <tonyyarusso> skyfish: Radeon Mobility X300 (common laptop model, I think)
[05:47] <pilgrim> cafuego_: how do I further discect this command: sudo --configure acpid ?
[05:47] <S0nyX> ohh, ok, thanks
[05:47] <skyfish> tonyyarusso: k thanx, I'll give it a go ^^
[05:48] <tonyyarusso> skyfish: And it's not perfect yet either, but I can get compiz to work, mostly.
[05:48] <cafuego_> pilgrim: Check /var/lib/dpkg/info/acpid.postinst
[05:48] <skyfish> skyfish: alright, I'll give it a go but one more question though
[05:48] <S0nyX> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) - E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[05:48] <S0nyX>  << i got those errors
[05:48] <cafuego_> pilgrim: Run that manually after adding 'set -x' to the top somewhere, it'll spit out debug info.
[05:48] <TheFettMan> what do you use DSP for??
[05:49] <skyfish> tonyyarusso: I'm dualbooting with the card on the driver that came in the box on XP
[05:49] <a1mega> Anyone know of an easy way to bump up the display resolution past 1024 x 768?
[05:49] <TheFettMan> S0nyX: that happens when you have synaptic open while trying to install in the terminal just cloase synaptic
[05:49] <skyfish> tonyyarusso: if I change to the opensource driver will this affect the card in XP?
[05:49] <tonyyarusso> skyfish: shouldn't
[05:49] <skyfish> tonyyarusso: kk, thanx ^^
[05:50] <tonyyarusso> Just an xorg.conf config, totally internal to the OS>
[05:50] <pilgrim> cafuego_: k. lemme try
[05:50] <S0nyX> ohh ok, done anything else i have to do?
[05:52] <S0nyX> i got a new error: configure: error: cannot find setupterm or tgetent any idea what do i need to fix thisone?
[05:53] <a1mega> I was encouraged to make the switch to Ubuntu when my hard drive would not let Windows ME run or re-install.
[05:54] <sethk> S0nyX, you need ncurses
[05:54] <sethk> S0nyX, including the dev packages
[05:54] <bjoyce_> hello
[05:54] <Icehawk78> Can someone point me in the direction of where I need to go to enable DynDNS to upadte my IP on my server?
[05:54] <a1mega> I think it was because there were some bad sectors on my Hard Drive. But Ubuntu recognized and fix this after trying to load it twice! Cool!
[05:54] <pilgrim> cafuego_: this command is called "invoke-rc.d acpid start" and then says that  it's loading acpid modules successfully...but then fails to start with this: invoke-rc.d: initscript acpid, action "start" failed.
[05:55] <cafuego_> pilgrim: Add a 'set -x' to /etc/init.d/acpid too
[05:55] <bjoyce_> Hi, Im trying to mount an external USB 2.0 Hard drive. Not having much luck, can anyone help?
[05:55] <S0nyX> i used search on synaptic for ncurses and i got a whole bunch of ncurses whichone do i install
[05:56] <Icehawk78> !dyndns | me
[05:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dyndns - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:56] <Kr0ntab> sudo apt-get dyndns-client
[05:56] <sethk> S0nyX, the most recent one, and as I said you need both the run time and the dev parts.
[05:57] <macd> Kr0ntab, + install
[05:57] <Kr0ntab> woops
[05:57] <Kr0ntab> <-- goober...    sudo apt-get install dyndns-client
[05:57] <Icehawk78> krontab: It wants me to explicitly select a specific one to install
[05:57] <Icehawk78> Package dyndns-client is a virtual package provided by:
[05:57] <Icehawk78>   ez-ipupdate 3.0.11b8-10ubuntu1
[05:57] <Icehawk78>   ddclient 3.6.7-2ubuntu3
[05:57] <Icehawk78> You should explicitly select one to install.
[05:57] <Icehawk78> E: Package dyndns-client has no installation candidate
[05:57] <pilgrim> cafuego_: right before it fails, this is run: start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/acpid -- -c /etc/acpid/events -s /var/run/acpid.socket
[05:57] <GMWeezel> Is there a way to have a script run when the screen saver comes up?
[05:57] <Opah|Muda|Bdg> hi all
[05:57] <sethk> S0nyX, you need libncurses, libncurses-dev.  you don't need ruby support, don't need 64 unless you are running 64 bit, etc.
[05:58] <sethk> S0nyX, but the pieces are small enough that no harm will be done if you install a few that you don't need
[05:58] <cafuego_> pilgrim: Ok, as root, run '/usr/sbin/acpid -- -c /etc/acpid/events -s /var/run/acpid.socket'
[05:58] <macd> Icehawk78, ez-ipupdate is the GUI-fied version.
[05:58] <Kr0ntab> I havent used the dyndns package before, but check out those packages for more info.
[05:58] <Icehawk78> So if I have no gui installed, then I want the ddclient?
[05:58] <macd> yep.
[05:58] <Kr0ntab> yep
[05:58] <sakobatoneko> anybody know where can i get a library ld.so
[05:58] <sakobatoneko> ?
[05:58] <pilgrim> cafuego_: with sudo you mean?
[05:59] <Opah|Muda|Bdg> skype not running at ubuntu 5.10, why? help me please ^^!
[05:59] <macd> Icehawk78,  then you'll do your config in /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf
[05:59] <cafuego_> pilgrim: yup
[05:59] <pilgrim> k
[05:59] <sakobatoneko> online or sudo
[05:59] <Icehawk78> Thanks much, both of you.
[05:59] <justdave> I installed network-manager-gnome in Edgy and now gnome hangs with a blank window in the upper left corner when I log in.  I tried uninstalling it from the command line, but it didn't help.  If I just leave it and come back 15 minutes later I eventually get a dialog box saying it couldn't start the GNOME settings daemon.
[06:00] <justdave> anyone know what I broke?
[06:00] <doojin> hi
[06:00] <doojin> I tried
[06:00] <doojin> But the screen resolution doesn't go higher
[06:00] <sakobatoneko> anybody know?
[06:00] <GMWeezel> Is it possible to execute a bash script when the Xorg screen saver is run such as one to dismount a volume?
[06:00] <bjoyce_> sorry nope.
[06:00] <Icehawk78> macd: Actually, one other question (for now)... What is the "interface used" for the Dynamic DNS service?
[06:01] <S0nyX> sethk it worked, thanks alot
[06:01] <pilgrim> cafuego_: (this is the error I use to get initally after I remove the acpid package) and I'm getting it when running the command you just said with sudo: acpid: can't open /proc/acpi/event: Device or resource busy
[06:01] <justdave> if I do a ps listing while it's hung, it looks like the last process that started was gnome-keyring-daemon
[06:01] <sethk> S0nyX, np
[06:01] <macd> Icehawk78, as in eth0, etc.
[06:01] <Icehawk78> Oh, oaky.
[06:01] <S0nyX> which is a good identserver? any idea?
[06:01] <cafuego_> pilgrim: Ok, I'd recommend a reboot.
[06:02] <macd> Icehawk78, if your using NAT or something make sure to include use=web in your config.
[06:02] <bjoyce_> Hi
[06:02] <Opah|Muda|Bdg> my skype help me please ^^!,
[06:02] <AVN`> what do I use to open rars?
[06:03] <AVN`> file-roller is not working
[06:03] <macd> Opah|Muda|Bdg, perhaps if you provided more info other than skype not running ubuntu 5.10 we could help you
[06:03] <bjoyce_> AVN: in windows use winrar
[06:03] <Icehawk78> macd, I currently have use=if, if=eth0
[06:03] <Icehawk78> But I am behind a NAT
[06:03] <S0nyX> now i'm getting an error running make, (make[1] : *** [ctcp.o]  Error 1) how do i fix thisone?
[06:03] <macd> Icehawk78, that will set your dyndns info to eth0's IP, you want use=web
[06:03] <Icehawk78> Ah, okay.
[06:03] <pilgrim> cafuego_: will the starting of gdm cause this resource to get busy?
[06:04] <AVN`> bjoyce_ I am using ubuntu ... why would I be using windows?
[06:04] <cafuego_> pilgrim: It certainly should not.
[06:04] <pilgrim> cafuego_: k. be back in a jiffy
[06:04] <justdave> my suspicion is that I got something that shouldn't be into the config for gnome-keyring, but I can't find the settings for that on the filesystem to try to investigate that
[06:04] <Gallius> does anyone know why i am receiving a ton of packets when I am on ubuntu but not when im on windows?
[06:04] <Icehawk78> macd: Do I need to restart the ddclient process now?
[06:04] <bjoyce_> AVN: therer is a linux comand line program, Its got heaps of switches.  the name escapes me at the moment
[06:05] <macd> Icehawk78, I would issue "sudo /etc/init.d/ddclient restart"
[06:05] <GMWeezel> Is there an application to gray scale svg icons?
[06:05] <macd> AVN`, to untar something? install "ark"
[06:05] <Icehawk78> Excellent, thanks much for the help again.
[06:05] <jrattner> Anyone know how to use the Water effect in beryl
[06:05] <macd> Icehawk78, the beauty of a large user based community ;P
[06:06] <Icehawk78> Indeed.
[06:06] <patrialt> does ubuntu have any sort of Firewalling?
[06:06] <Kaso> My firefox seems to have lost the ability to save its configuration, anyone know whats up?
[06:06] <patrialt> Im using Azureus right now, and it thinks im behind a firewall
[06:06] <macd> patrialt, you can install GUI frontends for iptables.
[06:06] <macd> patrialt, your prolly behind a NAT.
[06:06] <patrialt> i already configured my port forwarding macd
[06:07] <macd> patrialt, well by default, if you have not installed firestarter or something similar there are no firewall rules.
[06:07] <pilgrim> cafuego: k. now what?
[06:07] <elyon225> Kaso: My guess would be that your ~/.mozilla/ directory probably has the wrong permissions applied to it.
[06:07] <bjoyce_> AVN, rar is the command in linux.
[06:07] <patrialt> macd any idea why Azureus thinks im behind a firewall then?
[06:08] <S0nyX> has anyone installed BitchX on ubuntu yet?
[06:08] <pdxkid03> hi all - what is this 'red line' marker in x-chat?  i've never understood it.  thanks
[06:08] <macd> Kaso, yes, just do 'ls -al ~/.mozilla'  make sure that matches your username.
[06:08] <cafuego_> S0nyX: Of course not, we use irssi.
[06:08] <justdave> Kaso: you probably ran it while in sudo and it changed your profile permissions to root, so now you can't write to it under your normal user
[06:08] <transgress_> patrialt: could think you're behind a firewall because your isp is blocking bt... what port do you use for it?
[06:08] <cafuego_> pilgrim: Did it boot up with acpi working properly?
[06:08] <patrialt> im using port 63343
[06:08] <justdave> Kaso: sudo chown -R you:you .firefox
[06:08] <macd> patrialt, your machine uses DHCP? if so I bet your port forwarding doesnt match your currently assigned IP, if not then I dont really have another guess
[06:08] <transgress_> hmm
[06:08] <justdave> Kaso: and see if that helps
[06:08] <bjoyce_> Can anyone help me connecting a USB external HDD
[06:09] <macd> bjoyce_, plug it in.
[06:09] <patrialt> Ahh, would my linux have a diff ip than my windows ?
[06:09] <bjoyce_> LOL
[06:09] <bjoyce_> Done that
[06:09] <macd> patrialt, its a good guess.
[06:09] <macd> bjoyce_, did you get a dialog on the screen asking what you want todo with your newly mounted volume?
[06:09] <patrialt> how can i find my lan ip with ubunut?
[06:09] <patrialt> ubuntu*
[06:09] <S0nyX> so irssi is better than BitchX?
[06:10] <patrick_> hey
[06:10] <kitche> patrialt: ifconfig look for ip
[06:10] <macd> patrialt, in console type 'ifconfig' , it will be the eth0 if your adapter is wired ethernet
[06:10] <bjoyce_> No, I can copy past the var/log/messages if you want
[06:10] <patrialt> k ty
[06:10] <macd> bjoyce_, be sure not to paste it in the channel.
[06:11] <hossasaur> since i've installed ubuntu, i've had trouble with sound.  when i plug headphones into my laptop, the sound does not play through the headphones, and still plays through the speakers.  i own an hp dv2035us laptop.
[06:11] <hossasaur> how can i fix this?
[06:11] <matju> if i type Compose _ a, I get  ... how do i get the macron a letter instead?
[06:11] <bjoyce_> OK,  messages listed that the USB storage device was there but it had an I/O error.
[06:12] <pilgrim> cafuego_: acpid isn't installed yet. It fails at configuration stage.
[06:12] <macd> bjoyce_, is the external disk formatted in NTFS by chance?
[06:12] <bjoyce_> yes
[06:12] <macd> bjoyce_, then you wont be using it anytime soon ;)
[06:12] <bjoyce_> OK, so reformat in win32?
[06:12] <macd> bjoyce_, you should use the windows NTFS to FAT32 migration tool
[06:13] <patrialt> macd turns out my dual boot system was confusing me :P windows was telling me my ip ended with .102 and linux says .101
[06:13] <macd> you will not loose data if you use the tool, if you format you loose the data therein
[06:13] <bjoyce_> OK, I would have to do that on a windows box
[06:13] <macd> patrialt, that'll do it ;)
[06:14] <cafuego_> pilgrim: still?
[06:14] <pilgrim> cafuego_: after last reboot
[06:14] <pilgrim> cafuego_: I haven't tried installing it
[06:14] <pilgrim> cafuego_: waiting for your instructions.
[06:14] <duckdown> //Hey all... How can I foce a program that doesn't have built-in SOCKS firewall support to route all of its traffic through mine?  Like I have a SOCKS proxy listening on localhost:1234 , but Opera web browser has no SOCKS support (lame.)  I seem to remember a program like 'socksify' or something that you can prefix the program you want to run with.. (It's not socksify though, cause I installed it and the manpage shows nothing like th
[06:14] <cafuego_> Ah ok, retry installation :-)
[06:14] <duckdown> at)H
[06:14] <patrialt> hehe thanks again macd
[06:14] <patrialt> the linux community really reaches out :P
[06:14] <patrialt> windows = tech snobs
[06:15] <macd> Im a former MVP -AD
[06:15] <macd> put that in your head ;)
[06:15] <patrialt> lol
[06:15] <pilgrim> cafuego_: failed the same way again
[06:15] <patrialt> Most Valuable Player -AD?
[06:15] <macd> mvps.org
[06:15] <patrialt> xD
[06:15] <pilgrim> cafuego_: that /proc/acpi/event thing is still busy.
[06:15] <pilgrim> this is frustrating
[06:16] <cafuego_> pilgrim: then I'm out of ideas...
[06:16] <pilgrim> cafuego_: hmm...well, thanks for trying
[06:16] <patrialt> ahhh
[06:17] <gverig> OK, im back... I can't configure Flash to play sound :( Any ideas other then vi /etc/firefox/firefoxrc -> set to "aoss"?
[06:17] <pilgrim> cafuego_: is there a way to "upgrade" my whole system to the 6.10 edition again?
[06:17] <pilgrim> cafuego_: kind of a fresh start on things
[06:18] <cafuego_> pilgrim: Well... I guess what you could do is use a cd to install 6.10 afresh, without easing the installation disk.
[06:18] <cafuego_> without erasing
[06:18] <cafuego_> pilgrim: You;'d need to manually remove all directories, except for /home and be sure to backup /etc
[06:18] <hossasaur> since i've installed ubuntu, i've had trouble with sound.  when i plug headphones into my laptop, the sound does not play through the headphones, and still plays through the speakers.  i own an hp dv2035us laptop.  as far as i can tell i have the correct drivers for sound and what not.  how can i fix this?
[06:19] <pilgrim> cafuego_: OUCH! That's exactly why I stopped using gentoo. Packages broke and stuff started happening. This sucks.
[06:19] <oreth> hey guys
[06:19] <cafuego_> pilgrim: If it makes you feel any better, this is the first time I've ever ehard of this happening
[06:19] <bruenig> !hi | oreth
[06:19] <ubotu> oreth: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[06:19] <cafuego_> pilgrim: Oh, try this
[06:19] <oreth> i've got, what I assume, is a fairly common problem
[06:19] <macd> hossasaur, there are some adjustments you can make within system --> administration --> sound
[06:20] <oreth> i tried installing 6.10 from the live CD
[06:20] <bruenig> !enter | oreth
[06:20] <ubotu> oreth: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[06:20] <cafuego_> pilgrim: Edit the postinst script and comment out the invoke-rc.d call.
[06:20] <cafuego_> pilgrim: That way installation should continue
[06:20] <Ruffles> is ubiquity (parted) able to resize an ntfs without data loss?
[06:20] <pilgrim> cafuego_: true.
[06:20] <oreth> alright.. let's try this again.
[06:20] <cafuego_> Ruffles: In 9999 out of 10,000 cases.
[06:20] <Ruffles> mmmmm.. i see.. thanks
[06:20] <pilgrim> cafuego_: where was the postinst script again?
[06:21] <imbecile> hey how do i find my hostname un terminal?
[06:21] <CapaH> I understand that ubuntu comes with a pre-installed firewall -- how do I use it/is there a gui?
[06:21] <cafuego_> pilgrim: /var/lib/dpkg/info/acpid.postinst
[06:21] <oreth> Using the 6.10 livecd, i try to install, but it hangs at different places. Now, when trying to run the live cd i get "Cannot mount fs"
[06:21] <bruenig> !firewall | CapaH
[06:21] <ubotu> CapaH: 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).
[06:21] <macd> CapaH, install firestarter.
[06:21] <cafuego_> CapaH: There is a gui, but that's probably not installed.
[06:21] <Ruffles> imbecile, your hostname is right after login@
[06:21] <CapaH> great thanks
[06:21] <cafuego_> CapaH: Check /usr/share/doc/iptables/html for full documentation.
[06:21] <macd> oreth, Im thinking your burn is bad (try slower speed) or your cdrom = flakey.
[06:22] <oreth> macd: yeah... but that brings me to the next problem: can I burn an x86 ubuntu install from my mac? :P
[06:22] <Frogzoo_> !iptables | CapaH
[06:22] <ubotu> CapaH: 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).
[06:22] <oreth> my PC is the computer I'm installing Ubuntu on.
[06:22] <macd> oreth, its an ISO anything can burn it ;)
[06:22] <User2323> hello, what's the best way to backup an ext3 partition?
[06:22] <macd> ISO = raw disk image.
[06:23] <pilgrim> cafuego_: why is /etc/init.d/acpid still there when acpid package is not installed?
[06:23] <oreth> macd: doh. of course.
[06:23] <macd> User2323, I use ghost4linux.
[06:23] <oreth> sorry: sometimes get the iso/dmg extension mixed up
[06:23] <cafuego_> pilgrim: installed, but not configured
[06:23] <Kaso> justdave as far as i can tell i own the ~/.mozilla/firefox directory and i have rwx permission but im still not getting config saved in firefox, "drwxrwxr--  3 kaso kaso 4096 2007-02-12 14:39 firefox"
[06:23] <hossasaur> macd: i don't see anything dealing with headphones
[06:23] <User2323> macd: how does that work?
[06:23] <macd> oreth, yeah iso/img/dmg etc...
[06:23] <macd> User2323, it works fine for me
[06:23] <pilgrim> cafuego_: fair enough. k. gonna try to fool it now. cross your fings.
[06:23] <oreth> can't open DMG on windows... can open ISO on anything
[06:23] <justdave> anyone have any ideas on why GNOME hangs with an error about the gnome settings daemon failing to start every time I log in?
[06:24] <macd> oreth, yeah thats why you rename the extension to iso on windows ;)
[06:24] <Jackz> Hey everybody!
[06:24] <Jackz> I have returned.
[06:24] <borgista> justdave: I have the same issue!
[06:24] <borgista> After installing beryl, to no avail.
[06:24] <User2323> macd: if I backup and restore the partition, will the permissions be preserved?
[06:24] <borgista> Gnome honags, but KDE works.
[06:24] <oreth> macd: oh.. you think you're so smart... :P
[06:24] <borgista> Gnome apps load after minutes!
[06:24] <oreth> i feel dumb :(
[06:24] <justdave> in my case it was after installing network-manager-gnome
[06:24] <macd> User2323, ghost4linux copies the data bit for bit.
[06:24] <pilgrim> cafuego_: seems to have worked. Now going to try to reboot just in case and see if GUI works.
[06:24] <User2323> macd: great, thanks
[06:24] <macd> User2323, it doesnt care about the data, filesystem or anything else.
[06:25] <borgista> justdave: know of any fixes.
[06:25] <cafuego_> pilgrim: I'd finish the upgrade first
[06:25] <justdave> if I did I wouldn't be asking ;)
[06:25] <Peacer> I need help with ssh
[06:25] <macd> Peacer, how about more info first
[06:25] <Peacer> where's the ssh config, for when I run an ssh server?
[06:25] <oreth> macd: assuming that the new burn works, but, i still can't mount the Filesystem. is there anyway to take my drive back to null using the ubuntu install?
[06:25] <Peacer> :p
[06:25] <pilgrim> cafuego_: how?
[06:25] <CapaH> Unable to start guarddog firewall - /etc/rc.firewall does not exist
[06:25] <pilgrim> cafuego_: I mean, what upgrade?
[06:25] <macd> Peacer, /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[06:26] <Jackz> So.. new problem.  Feisty's Alpha doesn't boot with artifacts like Edgy, and Dapper did for me.. but now when I try to install the most recent drivers, and then reboot.. it tells me that my xorg config is screwy.  If I do the command installing the drivers told me to, to restore the original xorg config, will I be able to run the drivers?
[06:26] <CapaH> this is after apt-get install guarddog (I am using kde)
[06:26] <justdave> that's pretty much what mine's doing...  everything hangs for about 5 minutes, then all the apps start and I have that error dialog.
[06:26] <macd> oreth, back to null?
[06:26] <bkudria> i need an app to draw directed graphs, with labelled nodes and connections.  can anyone recommend anything?
[06:26] <cafuego_> pilgrim: Um, this happened during an upgrade to 6.10 right?
[06:26] <oreth> macd: how do I clear the masterboot record and format the hard drive?
[06:26] <Peacer> where's the ssh config, for when I run an ssh server? (i'm in a hurry if I seem rough)
[06:26] <macd> oreth, ahhh, any bootdisk would work.
[06:27] <oreth> UBCD?
[06:27] <macd> Peacer, I just told you.
[06:27] <macd> Peacer, /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[06:27] <macd> oreth, universal boot cd?
[06:27] <pilgrim> cafuego_: nah nah. I was just being smart and wanted to stop some unwanted services. I unchecked the box from acpid in system>admin>services and then found out battery had no status then in an attempt to get acpid to work again I uninstalled stuff the depended on it and itself and then you helped me get back the stuff that depends on it which is gnome-session and ubuntu-desktop and other essencial stuff.
[06:27] <oreth> macd: yeah
[06:28] <macd> should work fine.
[06:28] <oreth> ok.
[06:28] <mei> #eclipse
[06:28] <cafuego_> pilgrim: aah ok
[06:28] <oreth> secondary question: i've seen some really nifty stuff with beryl, does it work in 6.10?
[06:28] <pilgrim> cafuego_: so going to restart and then I'll log back in.
[06:28] <Peacer> macd thanks, much appreciated
[06:28] <macd> oreth, yes it does
[06:28] <Peacer> didn't see it before now :S
[06:28] <oreth> easy to setup?
[06:28] <CapaH> Question --- I am trying to run an application to bind to a particular port (lets say port 600 for the sake of argument) --- however it tells me another application is bound to that port. How can I find out which application?
[06:28] <Peacer> channel activity
[06:29] <macd> oreth, I didnt find it hard, just use apt-get to install the packages make a new gnome session with it, off you go.
[06:29] <CaptainMorgan> might someone be able to assist me in installing javac? It can't be found in Adept, and someone suggested 'alternatives' and I had no clue what that meant.
[06:29] <arrenlex> !java | CaptainMorgan
[06:29] <ubotu> CaptainMorgan: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository
[06:29] <imbecile> what do you guys think i should use as port for NX free edition?
[06:30] <macd> imbecile, use whatever you want.
[06:30] <oreth> macd: yeah, I've done Ubuntu in the past, but never for my main OS. Just enough to screw around with. I know quite abit about the unix/linux command interface. But I've never used it for my main OS
[06:30] <oreth> I've lost my Windows XP Activation code, and I had to borrow a copy. I've got 3 days till the activation runs out :P
[06:30] <_siegfried_> Can someone help me with the password for cups? http://localhost:631 is prompting me for a password. Normally I would use root but I don't have the password for that account.
[06:30] <oreth> so, i'm installing Ubuntu for full use
[06:30] <macd> oreth, I use it in parallels in osx mostly, but also native with bootcamp.
[06:31] <oreth> the only thing That I see could be a problem for me is making WoW work.
[06:31] <macd> _siegfried_, defualt has no password.
[06:31] <macd> oreth, well for your crack addictiomn j/k use cedega.
[06:31] <Frogzoo_> !appdb | oreth
[06:31] <ubotu> oreth: Appdb is a database of apps & help for programs that run under wine: see http://appdb.winehq.org
[06:31] <oreth> I've got a copy of cedega
[06:32] <oreth> just not sure I wanna pay per month to use cedega for a pay per month game :
[06:32] <Peacer> how do I know if my ssh server is running?
[06:32] <timfrost> CapaH: lsof -i tcp:600 will list all programs that have that port open
[06:32] <cafuego_> Peacer: ssh localhost
[06:32] <oreth> peacer: ssh localhost -u user -p password
[06:32] <macd> Peacer, "ps ax | grep sshd"
[06:33] <_siegfried_> macd, could you elaborate? I tried typing in an account name of "default" (without the quotes) and that did not work. I tried an zero length account name and that did not work.
[06:33] <macd> _siegfried_, there should be no user:pass required, if there is use your user:pass
[06:33] <pilgrim> cafuego, guess what? it's working now ....battery status that is....don't know why though.
[06:33] <Frogzoo_> oreth: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft
[06:34] <oreth> checking...
[06:34] <pilgrim> gezim@laptopi:~$ ps -ef | grep acpid

[06:34] <Peacer> and restarting it?
[06:34] <_siegfried_> macd, I tried that and it did not work. My account name is "siegfried" and I put that and my password in. Should I enable the root account?
[06:34] <pilgrim> cafuego, does that mean acpid is running?
[06:35] <oreth> Frogzoo: is that current?
[06:35] <macd> Peacer, /etc/init.d/ssh restart
[06:35] <Peacer> thank you
[06:35] <Peacer> :D
[06:35] <macd> _siegfried_, you should not need to, your account should work. but you can enable the root account.
[06:35] <Peacer> thank you for your help
[06:35] <Peacer> I'll get on later, from school ;)
[06:36] <Peacer> \o
[06:36] <oreth> macd: must get tiring, man
[06:37] <macd> oreth, repetitive more like ;) but the FOSS is all about giving back
[06:37] <oreth> FOSS?
[06:38] <macd> free and open source software
[06:38] <oreth> roger that
[06:38] <oreth> I'm a "software" designer.
[06:38] <oreth> Mostly PHP and C# developement
[06:39] <oreth> I work for Texas Tech University
[06:39] <oreth> i'm a "soft" programmer, as per my colleagues :P
[06:39] <Frogzoo_> oreth: the WoW wiki pages is regularly updated
[06:39] <macd> We dumped php a while back in favor of RoR ;P not the php had a lack of decent frameworks, but inherently is sure has its issues securitywise.
[06:40] <oreth> Frogzoo: i appreciate it.
[06:40] <oreth> macd: my boss desperately wants me to learn RoR
[06:40] <oreth> i've done a bit of research, but no real coding just yet
[06:41] <macd> its utopian object oriented language, that I can say. and on freenode the #rubyonrails community is great.
[06:41] <Ruffles> how do i resize devshm to make it bigger?
[06:41] <oreth> macd: really?
[06:41] <macd> Ruffles, the real question is why you would need to
[06:41] <Ruffles> to run qemu
[06:41] <cchance> Am i doing this right? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6517/
[06:41] <oreth> i learned PHP on my own, using php.net as a system reference
[06:42] <oreth> i've gone back and relearned it using correct coding procedures. It would have been great to have had a support team while learning PHP
[06:42] <oreth> i had to teach myself C# from an o'rielly publication
[06:42] <oreth> I <3 o'rielly
[06:43] <macd> Ruffles, /etc/default/tmpfs is the answer.
[06:43] <LazyProfessional> i cannot install ubuntu 6.10 becuase everytime i start the live cd, and it autodetects it finds my integrated video card and not the pci card i have installed, then it fails to start x windos and then just locks up, is there any way i can fix this?
[06:43] <oreth> I'm a senior at Texas Tech. When I started my college carreer, many many years ago, I was a Computer Science major... I'm now a psychology major :P
[06:43] <Ruffles> macd, what size should i put there to make it 128mb ?
[06:44] <macd> LazyProfessional, you need to download and burn the alternate install disc, then install using it.
[06:44] <cchance> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6517/ o tryed installing VMWARE but this i think inhibit me
[06:44] <macd> Ruffles, did you read what it said in the file? ;)
[06:44] <Ruffles> yes
[06:44] <macd> then make 128mb into bytes.
[06:44] <Ruffles> how much is 128mb in bytes?
[06:44] <macd> 129096 is what you want.
[06:44] <Ruffles> oh thanks buddy
[06:45] <oreth> who created ubuntu: was it one guy? or a coding team?
[06:45] <oreth> or, is it community developed?
[06:45] <Ruffles> macd, yeah so what now? should i umount and mount it back again?
[06:45] <cafuego_> oreth: Debian did.
[06:45] <cafuego_> oreth: ... which is a large group of people.
[06:46] <oreth> cafuego: i understood that the core of it is debian's work, but I thought there was a seperate group creating the entity that is Ubuntu
[06:46] <LazyProfessional> -?
[06:46] <macd> Ruffles, "sudo mount -a"
[06:47] <Jackz> When I install the most recent drivers from Synaptic, and reboot, I get xserver errors, and the most recent drivers from nvidia are different, more up to date.. should I use them instead?  Also, if I recover the original config with the command it gives me after installing the drivers, will it fix my problem?
[06:47] <macd> Ruffles, OR mount -o remount,size=129096k /dev/shm
[06:47] <Ruffles> macd, and what's /dev/shm for?
[06:47] <timfrost> Ruffles, macd scaled it badly. 128MB = 128 * 1024 * 1024 = 134217728
[06:47] <ireshguy> Hey guys, I'm trying to test curl for posting, and I do this command -> curl -d "message=test" -d "subject=test" http://txt.7chan.org/i/res/4212.html and all it does is return the source of the page and doesn't post anything. Help?
[06:47] <macd> timfrost, its in kb not b ;)
[06:47] <cafuego_> oreth: Yup, a bunch of people.
[06:47] <macd> I typoed earlier
[06:47] <mzanfardino> assuming for a moment I want to add an iso image to my apt sources.list resource file, how exactly would I format the entry?
[06:47] <untung> hello
[06:48] <ireshguy> Does anyone know anything about curl here? :<
[06:48] <Ruffles> damn.. it says there's no /dev/shm in fstab :/
[06:48] <pilgrim> Has the automatic resizing tool in the ubuntu installation ever worked for anyone? I tried to use it for a firend....failed. ....bad for reputation.
[06:48] <cafuego_> hint: size=128m
[06:48] <untung> i have a usb harddrive box. how can i protect it from access by other user?
[06:48] <untung> can i set up a password for the hard drive?
[06:48] <kitche> pilgrim: never trust an automatic resizing tool
[06:48] <macd> Ruffles, thats b/c /dev/shm is a virtual filesystem
[06:48] <pilgrim> kitche, well...at least it didn't corrupt it. thank God.
[06:49] <ireshguy> Untung: If the harddrive box is used for Linux, you could reset the permission on it through chmod.
[06:49] <cafuego_> pilgrim: Worked fine on the iBook here.
[06:49] <macd> Ruffles, use the second command I posted.
[06:49] <Jackz> When I install the most recent drivers from Synaptic, and reboot, I get xserver errors, and the most recent drivers from nvidia are different, more up to date.. should I use them instead?  Also, if I recover the original config with the command it gives me after installing the drivers, will it fix my problem?
[06:49] <jason0_> Anyone know of a firefox download extension that will put files (filtering on file type) into specified directories?
[06:49] <pilgrim> kitche, how should I do this thing? I tried gparted that's no the livecd but that failed too.
[06:49] <untung> ireshguy: the harddrive is portable
[06:49] <pilgrim> cafuego, strange.
[06:49] <macd> Jackz, yes, no, yes.
[06:49] <Ruffles> rafael@mordor:~$ sudo mount -o remount,size=129096k /dev/shm
[06:49] <Ruffles> mount: can't find /dev/shm in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[06:49] <ireshguy> Untung: Then I dunno. Sorry. :<
[06:49] <pilgrim> cafuego, so any idea on why acpid is working now?
[06:49] <macd> err no, yes ;P
[06:49] <cafuego_> pilgrim: short of "karma", no ;-)
[06:49] <Jackz> I was gonna say.. I only asked two questions. :D
[06:50] <Jackz> Thanks.
[06:50] <untung> ireshguy: if it is found by someone else i prefer it has a password before someone else can see the content
[06:50] <kitche> pilgrim: I don't trust automatic tools for resizing learned that from windows lol
[06:50] <macd> Ruffles, odd, just reboot and the changes you made in /etc/default/tmpfs will take effect.
[06:50] <pilgrim> cafuego, as much as I love solving stuff...I hate it when I don't know what solved it
[06:50] <Ruffles> alright
[06:50] <cafuego_> Ruffles: I mount /dev/shm on a location.
[06:50] <pilgrim> cafuego, but thanks a bunch for your help
[06:50] <cafuego_> grr
[06:50] <ireshguy> Untung: Well, the best way to do that is just format it as EXT3 and chmod it.
[06:51] <adri_> hey guys
[06:51] <mzanfardino> is there a way to add an ISO file to sources.list for apt?  I'd like to replace the cdrom entry to point to an ISO file for my installation...
[06:51] <timfrost> macd, the file states 'SHM_SIZE sets the maximum size (in bytes)', so you DO need to use bytes,m rather than KB or other scaled values - hence the value  I cited is correct
[06:51] <ireshguy> Does anyone know anything about curl here? :<
[06:51] <adri_> yes there is
[06:52] <mzanfardino> ireshguy: !ask
[06:52] <adri_> you take it to the SHM_SIZE sets, then press, send too desktop and copy three times
[06:52] <macd> timfrost, then we should hope he changed it ;) or else he'll be rebooting again
[06:52] <ireshguy> !ask curl
[06:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ask curl - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:52] <ireshguy> er, crap
[06:52] <timfrost> !curl
[06:52] <ubotu> curl: Get a file from an HTTP, HTTPS, FTP or GOPHER server. In component main, is optional. Version 7.15.4-1ubuntu2 (edgy), package size 157 kB, installed size 256 kB

[06:53] <ireshguy> ^^ That's what I'm trying to do
[06:53] <ireshguy> It's not working thus far. :<
[06:54] <untung> ireshguy: can i set a password?
[06:54] <adri_> mzanfardino, do an SSH tunnel to your school net work and write a bash script to download the latest dragon Ball z episodes
[06:54] <ireshguy> Untung: Your password would be whatever your root password is.
[06:54] <adri_> !botsnack
[06:54] <ubotu> Yum!
[06:55] <zoidberg> hey guys
[06:55] <macd> mzanfardino, in all reality you cann remove the cdrom line from source.list after you install its fairly useless.
[06:55] <justdave> ok, for the record, I found the answer to my problem on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/control-center/+bug/61381
[06:55] <Talaman> hello there

[06:55] <macd> zoidberg, "apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" should work
[06:55] <justdave> the short version is it clobbered my /etc/networking/interfaces and the localhost network interface was missing from the list
[06:55] <zoidberg> i type " sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop"
[06:55] <adri_> untung, my password is ilovepinkgirls maybe it might work for you too

[06:57] <Ruffles> it seems the number is even bigger...
[06:57] <macd> Ruffles, yeah we established I gave you a bad number while you were gone ;)
[06:58] <nickreynolds> not too bad, what are you up to?
[06:58] <Ruffles> lol
[06:58] <Ruffles> thanks buddy :D

[06:58] <macd> Ruffles, 134217728
[06:58] <untung> ireshguy: so why i should use the root password? shouldnt i be alble to set up password specifically for the usb harddrive box?

[06:58] <macd> what cafuego_ says as well.
[06:58] <macd> adri_, that barbie, duh.
[06:58] <adri_> nickreynolds, I created a bash script to download them all using wget, and others using bit torrent and gnutella,, sweet aye?
[06:59] <adri_> macd, thanks, I was hoping someone that's also into barbies to correct me
[06:59] <ireshguy> Untung: Well... I dunno. All I know is that would effectively keep it secure.
[06:59] <macd> adri_, anytime ;)
[07:00] <adri_> ireshguy, I don't use passwords, I just lock up my computer into a vault

[07:00] <ubotu> nickreynolds: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[07:00] <test3D> how do I enable theme switching on the gdm ?
[07:00] <untung> ireshguy: does ubuntu has the capability to encript harddrive?
[07:00] <adri_> nickreynolds, or if you say ubotu-owns in the beginning of your message it'll go 'under the radar'
[07:01] <Frogzoo> petetetete: if it doesn't work out of the box it may take some fiddling
[07:01] <untung> ireshguy: consider if you have a tumb drive and get lost.. person who find it will able to access your data
[07:01] <petetetete> i am ready to fiddle
[07:01] <CaptainMorgan> my sudo apt-get install sun-java5-bin went smooth, but still the command javac is still not found.... any ideas?
[07:01] <adri_> CaptainMorgan, sudo apt-get install moon-buggy
[07:01] <hossasaur> macd: there aren't any adjustments relating to headphone jacks
[07:02] <jmazaredo_> is ssh server enabled in ubuntu desktop on default?
[07:02] <CaptainMorgan> adri_, are you serious?
[07:02] <macd> jmazaredo_, no.
[07:02] <Frogzoo> petetetete: 1st use 'lspci' to find out if the card's recognisable, then check in /var/log/messages for the kernel loading a driver
[07:02] <jmazaredo_> ty
[07:02] <adri_> CaptainMorgan, it's known to fix the java tool usage order
[07:02] <adri_> CaptainMorgan, or install jdk
[07:02] <justdave> how do I find out what driver my wifi card is currently using?
[07:03] <Ruffles> macd, how much is 144mb in bytes?
[07:03] <oreth> ok.. i've got an nvidia videocard.. anything special i need todo to install drivers for it
[07:03] <oreth> 144* 1024
[07:04] <adri_> !language  | oreth
[07:04] <ubotu> oreth: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[07:04] <macd> Ruffles, 144 * 1024 * 1024
[07:04] <petetetete> it's an onboard chip, but I think it is showing up on the pci bus as "DECchip 21142/43"
[07:04] <oreth> adri- WHAT?
[07:04] <adri_> !nvidia | oreth
[07:04] <ubotu> oreth: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:04] <petetetete> that's what device manager and lspci say
[07:04] <macd> oreth, disregard adri_ hes being festicious.
[07:04] <oreth> did i curse?
[07:04] <Ruffles> rafael@mordor:~$ qemu -boot c -hda /dev/hda1
[07:04] <Ruffles> qemu: could not open hard disk image '/dev/hda1'
[07:04] <oreth> facetious?
[07:05] <adri_> !nvidia | oreth
[07:05] <Ruffles> and how am i supposed to fix that?
[07:05] <Talaman> question: how do i change my display settings manually...currently when i go to change them through the gui it only lets me set them to the highest at 60, but if i try something smaller it sets it to 70 and my screen goes black
[07:05] <adri_> !xorg.conf | Talaman
[07:05] <ubotu> Talaman: 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
[07:05] <timfrost> Ruffles: what are the permissions on /dev/hda1?
[07:06] <Ruffles> timfrost, /dev/hda1             9.8G  8.4G  1.4G  86% /media/hda1
[07:06] <justdave> petetetete: I had one of those machines, and I never got the onboard ethernet working in Fedora... I wound up dropping a PCI NIC in a free slot and configuring it to use that instead.  Never tried it with Ubuntu though, and the driver landscape has changed some in the last couple years.
[07:06] <Ruffles> oooops...
[07:06] <macd> Ruffles, you need to sudo
[07:06] <adri_> yeah ruffles, you need to sumo
[07:06] <timfrost> Ruffles: that is NOT permissions.  What does 'ls -l /dev/hda1' report?
[07:06] <Ruffles> macd, oh man now u got the word :D
[07:06] <Ruffles> thanks
[07:07] <Ruffles> timfrost, yeah i've noticed
[07:07] <oreth> ok
[07:07] <petetetete> one of the two lights in the ethernet connector stays on regardless of a cord plugged in or a link
[07:07] <Talaman> not looking to restart it
[07:08] <oreth> so.. it's gonna take me about a week to getmy pc back up and running :P
[07:08] <Ruffles> how do i enable kqemu? it doesn't seem to be installed i guess
[07:08] <Talaman> looking to get it to use the right frequency at all levels
[07:08] <petetetete> the corresponding light on my network switch also does not come on to show a connected source
[07:08] <mindstate> i'm having trouble with the Ati driver, when i try to use fglrx driver X doesnt start up
[07:08] <macd> petetetete, is that an onboard nic?
[07:08] <petetetete> yeah, it is onboard
[07:08] <macd> all onboards stay lit when the link is good.
[07:08] <macd> even with the PC off ;)
[07:09] <petetetete> but it stays lit regardless of anything being plugged into it
[07:09] <macd> petetetete, ohh I missed that, its prolly bad.
[07:09] <petetetete> and even when plugging something in, the switch does not see even a link
[07:09] <macd> petetetete, power surge something along those lines
[07:09] <petetetete> that's what i am starting to think
[07:10] <zoidberg> hey guys is tehre a remote X window session client that works well with ubuntu
[07:10] <zoidberg> ?
[07:10] <petetetete> does the network card need to be told to show a link or is that so low level to the hardware that it should show link regardless of what driver / operating system is behind it?
[07:10] <macd> zoidberg, you trying to use a forwarded x-session?
[07:10] <macd> petetetete, thats hardware level.
[07:10] <Frogzoo> petetetete: did a driver load? does ifconfig eth0 up work?
[07:11] <zoidberg> macd, well i'm not sure....i thought like an ssh session that was an x-session
[07:11] <CaptainMorgan> apparently, I have installed it correctly now... but it's the wrong versions... I need java version 1.6 for both java and javac
[07:11] <macd> zoidberg, what are you trying to accomplish?
[07:11] <CaptainMorgan> how do I get them?
[07:12] <petetetete> as in the command "ifconfig eth0 up"
[07:12] <petetetete> ?
[07:12] <zoidberg> macd, i'm trying to ssh into a computer where i have an account but in a GUI atmosphere not just shell interface
[07:12] <macd> zoidberg, you can tunnel an forwarded x-session through ssh.
[07:12] <Frogzoo> proudfoot__: as in 'sudo ifconfig eth0 up'
[07:13] <zoidberg> macd, lets back up...i have the an acocunt on another machine...i want to ssh into that machine but in a GUI X-session enviornemnet
[07:13] <goban> how do i change my resolution to 1680x1050
[07:14] <macd> zoidberg, it depends on the remote machine does it have X? are trhe sessions forwarded?
[07:14] <timfrost> zoidberg: access the remote machine with 'ssh remote'
[07:14] <petetetete> i typed it, typed the password that i created at startup (i'm assuming that is the password I need to use?) and it didn't say success or failure, does that mean wrong password?
[07:14] <Frogzoo> petetetete: does ifconfig now show eth0 up with no ip?
[07:15] <zoidberg> macd, i think it does
[07:15] <S0nyX> anyone knows of a good ident server of ubuntu?
[07:15] <petetetete> i gave it a static ip
[07:15] <zoidberg> macd, coz i can use this windows client called XMING and i can log in using an XMDCP  and it logs in with GUI
[07:15] <Ruffles> zoidberg, VNC would be an option for ya
[07:15] <macd> zoidberg, well you would have to set that up, chances are its a shell on a linux box its command line only.
[07:15] <Frogzoo> S0nyX: apt-cache search ident
[07:15] <macd> zoidberg, ahhhhh
[07:15] <petetetete> but it says "UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST"
[07:16] <Jackz> cp /var/backups/xorg/xorg.conf.2007-02-19-00:13:27 /ect/X11/xorg.conf
[07:16] <Jackz> cp: cannot create regular file `/ect/X11/xorg.conf': No such file or directory
[07:16] <EdgEy> etc
[07:16] <EdgEy> :P
[07:16] <petetetete> and it says the ip address I gave it
[07:16] <macd> zoidberg, you can use xdcmp with ubuntu, just choose the XDCMP session in gnome before you login, then give it the remote machines address.
[07:16] <Frogzoo> petetetete: perfect - edit /etc/network/interfaces for eth0 to suit & you're in business
[07:16] <Jackz> That's the command I'm supposed to use to restore the old xorg config? ..
[07:16] <EdgEy> Jackz,
[07:16] <Kr0ntab> the trouble with forwarding X via SSH is that it's a little slow, especially when doing this via WAN speed networks.  You should really check out NXclient by NoMachine.  They offer a commercial version, but a free one is always available.
[07:16] <EdgEy> etc
[07:16] <EdgEy> not ect
[07:16] <Kr0ntab> www.nomachine.com
[07:16] <Jackz> Yes, Edge?
[07:16] <Kr0ntab> and.. its all done via ssh
[07:17] <EdgEy> Jackz, /ect/X11/xorg.conf': No such file or directory - it's /etc
[07:17] <subzone> anyone familiar with isc dhcpd? when the clients connect to the dhcpd, it's unable to resolve any hostname. i can however do 'ping google.com', but not 'host google.com'. my client /etc/resolv.conf is my dhcpd address
[07:17] <zoidberg> macd, thanx
[07:17] <Kr0ntab> they have a .deb on their site as well.
[07:17] <petetetete> well it still doesn't show a device present (link light) on my network switch
[07:17] <subzone> the machine running dhcpd is not running a DNS server.
[07:17] <doojin> hi
[07:17] <doojin> Many of my ubuntu problems are solved
[07:17] <petetetete> and i just checked this cable with the computer I am talking to you on
[07:17] <EdgEy> Jackz, though you will probably first have to mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.somebackup
[07:17] <Jackz> D'oh. That would be the problem. Thanks.
[07:18] <doojin> BMP and other music players display korean broken
[07:18] <doojin> What is the problem?
[07:18] <doojin> My file browser displays them well
[07:18] <de3m> how would I copy a list of files that begin with numbers
[07:18] <Frogzoo> petetetete: first install net-tools
[07:18] <macd> doojin, most likely your missing the locales.
[07:18] <Jackz> What is this.. mv it? 'Cause now I've got Permission Denied?
[07:19] <doojin> macd : what locales/
[07:19] <macd> doojin, the korean ones I suppose
[07:19] <S0nyX> Frogozoo after apt-cache search ident what do i do?
[07:19] <doojin> macd : there are some korean locales, but I don't know how to change locale
[07:19] <petetetete> i think i already have it installed
[07:19] <macd> doojin, I really dont know exactly what to tell you, If I swapped to korean on one of my machines Id be lost.
[07:20] <Jackz> EdgEy, what did you mean? MV it.. I believe you said? :S
[07:20] <Frogzoo> petetetete: check your autoneg settings with 'sudo mii-tool eth0'
[07:20] <EdgEy> Jackz it is a command
[07:20] <EdgEy> mv - moves a file
[07:20] <darkch1ld> is there any way to uninstall openoffice, or any of the other apps that come with ubuntu?
[07:21] <petetetete> gui has tabs for ping, netstat, traceroute, port scan, lookup, finger, whois
[07:21] <EdgEy> i mean, before you copy the backup back, you might have to move the config file that is already there
[07:21] <EdgEy> or delete it
[07:21] <Frogzoo> darkch1ld: dpkg --purge package
[07:21] <Jackz> Mm.. kay
[07:21] <petetetete> it showed up with the default install, are you talking about a different application?
[07:22] <treeform> hey how to merge 2 files ?  i need to merge first.bin + second.bin ?
[07:22] <macd> treeform, use cat.
[07:22] <Frogzoo> petetetete: check your autoneg settings with 'sudo mii-tool eth0'
[07:22] <petetetete> eth0: 100mbit, halfduplex, no link
[07:22] <darkch1ld> frogzoo: when i try to remove open office, it wants to remove the whole ubuntu desktop
[07:23] <treeform> macd: thanks will try
[07:23] <ferret_0567> Can anybody tell me why I have a pretty light show when I shut down in Xubuntu 6.10 with a Intel i810 video card?
[07:23] <Frogzoo> darkch1ld: oh I se...
[07:23] <dxdt> darkch1ld, don't worry about "ubuntu-desktop" it is a scary metapackage
[07:23] <ferret_0567> Blinking green cubes and stuff, something is wrong, that is not intentional
[07:23] <darkch1ld> ugh, i hope this doesn't b0rk my install
[07:23] <dxdt> it sounds like it will remove everything but it isn't, it is just a meta package that is a list of what comes with the basic install.  Since you are removing a component of the basic install, it removes that list.
[07:24] <doojin> maybe I'm getting used to linux
[07:24] <dxdt> I've done it multiple times.  "ubuntu-desktop" is scary as hell, but isn't an actual program
[07:24] <ferret_0567> It's weird
[07:24] <doojin> Nowadays I often think about manual when I have a problem
[07:24] <dxdt> haha yeah I was scared as all hell when I first removed it too
[07:24] <skar> hi, i've got a asus p5b with core2duo, installer gets stuck detecting ide cd/hdd
[07:24] <hanzomon4> doojin did you fix your X issue
[07:24] <macd> treeform, i.e. cat file1 file2 > combinedfile
[07:24] <treeform> macd: lol it crashed my shell every thing looks like this now : @-://OS$  4. .
[07:24] <skar> is there any latest livecd which works/installs fine?
[07:24] <petetetete> Frogzoo: i ran that command and it returns "eth0: 100Mbit, half duplex, no link"
[07:25] <Frogzoo> skar: try with boot option 'acpi=off'
[07:25] <macd> treeform, you should have read howto use cat first ;P  just type "clear"
[07:25] <doojin> hanzomon4 : what exactly was it?
[07:25] <skar> Frogzoo: ok will try it
[07:25] <doojin> hanzomon4 : It was fixed, but I don't know how it was fixed
[07:25] <Frogzoo> proudfoot__: there ya go - no link - what's this plugging into?
[07:25] <macd> treeform, then cat file1 file2 > targetfile
[07:25] <hanzomon4> ok
[07:25] <treeform> macd: that that
[07:25] <petetetete> a linksys router/switch
[07:25] <S0nyX> Frogozoo: after apt-cache search ident what do i do?
[07:25] <treeform> macd: thanks but it was fun
[07:26] <petetetete> i have verified that the cable and the port on the switch work
[07:26] <Frogzoo> petetetete: that supports 100BT?
[07:26] <Jackz> Why would I not have permissions to change the file?  If I reboot now, it'll tell me no device is found, and I'll end up with modifying the config from there.. could I run the copy then? From that prompt?
[07:26] <petetetete> yeah
[07:26] <macd> Jackz, b/c you did not sudo first.
[07:26] <Jackz> Raah..
[07:26] <darkch1ld> frogzoo: thanks
[07:26] <petetetete> it's your standard linksys befsr41
[07:26] <Jackz> But I did sudo.
[07:26] <ferret_0567> Type "reset" if "clear" does not work treeform.
[07:27] <Jackz> I still have permission denied.
[07:27] <Frogzoo> petetetete: 1st try 'sudo mii-tool -F 100BaseTx-FD eth0'
[07:27] <treeform> ferret_0567: did that thanks
[07:27] <Frogzoo> petetetete: 1st try 'sudo mii-tool -F 100baseTx-FD eth0'
[07:27] <macd> Jackz, thats rather impossible, unless the file is in use by another process.
[07:27] <petetetete> ok, did that
[07:27] <Jackz> Hrr...
[07:28] <Frogzoo> petetetete: now 'sudo mii-tool eth0'
[07:28] <petetetete> eth0 no link
[07:28] <Frogzoo> petetetete: next try a crossover cable
[07:28] <petetetete> hmmm, good idea
[07:28] <petetetete> brb
[07:29] <macd> ummm it doesnt matter to a switch if its xover or not
[07:29] <macd> but its a different cable so that _might_ help ;)
[07:30] <Frogzoo> macd: this is an old laptop, so MDI might be borked
[07:30] <ACETAC1> can someone tell me how to reinstall bugzilla and start installing a fresh copy of it? thanks
[07:30] <czer323> Lose the game
[07:30] <macd> ACETAC1, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure bugzilla"
[07:30] <RememberPOL> nvidiafb: Unknown symbol i2c_bit_add_bus
[07:30] <RememberPOL> Any idea...?
[07:31] <RememberPOL> It's causing X to crash :/
[07:31] <petetetete> no crossover cable, but i do have a crossover adapter, and i plugged that in and it didn't light anything up
[07:31] <ACETAC1> macd, thanks i'll give that a try
[07:31] <petetetete> well i did verify that the cable itself is fine
[07:31] <petetetete> i plugged it into this machine and it lit up and worked and everything
[07:32] <petetetete> without the crossover adapter
[07:32] <ubuntu> Hi, i have a problem, when i start up my computer and login it starts x then immediattly shuts it down, i even tried loggin in to another tty and doing "startx" but it did the same thing, i even reconfigured x, does anyone know how to fix this so i can boot up?
[07:32] <ACETAC1> macd. the command "sudo dpkg-reconfigure bugzilla" returns "/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: bugzilla is broken or not fully installed"
[07:32] <Frogzoo> petetetete: k, now plug this machine into the router - to test the router nic
[07:32] <Talaman> hey, where do i go to change my monitor settings? in the gui that is
[07:32] <macd> ACETAC1, "sudo apt-get install -f bugzilla"
[07:34] <skar> Frogzoo: nope 6.06 desktop cd stops at mounting root partition, even with acpi=off
[07:34] <Frogzoo> skar: you've checked the cd?
[07:34] <petetetete> like the one I am talking to you on?
[07:34] <Frogzoo> proudfoot__: the port
[07:34] <skar> Frogzoo: yup installed using cd on another system
[07:35] <Jackz> Okay - So I got the sudo-ness down.. but the new config is still screwy - Moving windows is choppy - scrolling through windows is choppy
[07:35] <skar> Frogzoo: seems the JMicron IDE controller isn't detected correctly on ubuntu 2.6.15 kernel
[07:35] <hagabaka> why does apt-index-watcher keep using up all CPU?
[07:35] <ACETAC1> macd, i think i discovered the problem but i'm not sure how to fix it, i think the mysql is complaining that it cannot acces the database... here's the error "Access denied for user 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' to database 'bugzilla'"
[07:35] <Comrade-Sergei> i need help installing limewire since it is not in .deb format or in synaptic
[07:35] <skar> Frogzoo: is there a 2.6.20 or 2.6.18 kernel livecd available?
[07:35] <Comrade-Sergei> how do yu do it?
[07:35] <lisapc> how can I install niveda 7300 drivers pls?
[07:36] <Frogzoo> skar: that would be feisty only, which is alpha...
[07:36] <macd> ACETAC1, do you have a mysql db running on the same machine as bugzilla with those user permissions?
[07:36] <skar> Frogzoo: ok :(
[07:36] <petetetete> i have checked that port, it works with the cable i am using
[07:36] <thedcm> is ubuntu free
[07:36] <Jackz> Yes
[07:36] <thedcm> then why is the tld .com? com is commercial right
[07:36] <petetetete> is windows not?
[07:36] <Jackz> Technically.
[07:37] <lisapc> thedcm lol
[07:37] <Frogzoo> petetetete: if you can disable autonegotiatoin on the router port, & set it to 100baseTx-FD
[07:37] <Comrade-Sergei> how do you install limewire?
[07:37] <EdgEy> tld's mean nothing
[07:37] <petetetete> no one regulates whether a com website is commercial or not
[07:37] <lisapc> Comrade-Sergei u dont
[07:37] <lisapc> Comrade-Sergei Frostwire
[07:37] <Comrade-Sergei> lisapc your not much help
[07:37] <macd> !limewire | Comrade-Sergei
[07:37] <ubotu> Comrade-Sergei: limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install !java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider !FrostWire as an alternative.
[07:37] <doojin> hmm
[07:37] <lisapc> Comrade-Sergei I helped you a lot actually. scroll back
[07:37] <Comrade-Sergei> ill look into it
[07:38] <lisapc> Comrade-Sergei Frostwire
[07:38] <Comrade-Sergei> ok thatnks
[07:38] <lisapc> Comrade-Sergei read the website
[07:38] <Talaman> hey, where do i go to change my monitor settings? in the gui that is
[07:38] <ACETAC1> macd, i have a mysql database server running (on the same computer, thus 'localhost' appears correct), that i can access but i am not sure what command to use to check the user permissions and everything.... i have used mysql before but not extensively to know enough commands about it
[07:38] <lisapc> how can I install niveda 7300 drivers pls?  any help pls?
[07:38] <mieora> hello people
[07:38] <Frogzoo> !patience | Comrade-Sergei
[07:38] <ubotu> Comrade-Sergei: The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[07:39] <goban> help! someone told me to do a debain reconfigure of xorg.conf and it totally screwed things up how do i revert?
[07:39] <macd> ACETAC1, you should install phpmyadmin, then login to it with your root mysql user, create the user bugzilla wants, OR read the bugzilla manual to learn howto configure it.
[07:39] <Comrade-Sergei> Frogzoo ok they were bein insolent
[07:39] <mieora> does anyone know if ubuntu 6.10 has live cd?
[07:39] <Comrade-Sergei> i help people occasionally on this channel
[07:39] <poningru> goban: a dpkg-reconfigure xorg?
[07:39] <poningru> mieora: yes
[07:39] <Frogzoo> Comrade-Sergei: so don't pay the invoice
[07:39] <Comrade-Sergei> mieora it is the live cd
[07:39] <goban> poningru: thats what messed it up
[07:39] <lisapc> mieora xbuntu
[07:39] <petetetete> i can't find any way to set that in the router's control panel, maybe if it had dd-wrt on it, but I don't have that installed on this router
[07:39] <Jackz> Okay - So I got the sudo-ness down.. but the new config is still screwy - Moving windows is choppy - scrolling through windows is choppy.. I assume it's a driver problem
[07:39] <goban> does that command back it up somehow?
[07:39] <poningru> mieora: the desktop cd is the ubuntu live cd
[07:40] <poningru> goban: yes
[07:40] <Comrade-Sergei> mieora the install cd is also a live cd
[07:40] <darkch1ld> what audio formats can ubuntu recognize by default?  i seem to remember it not liking mp3
[07:40] <macd> Jackz, is this an ATI card?
[07:40] <Comrade-Sergei> yea
[07:40] <poningru> goban: go to /etc/X11/
[07:40] <lisapc> i cant get ubuntu to use my niveda 7300 :(
[07:40] <Jackz> No. 7800GT
[07:40] <mieora> oh, really? how silly of me, thank you
[07:40] <poningru> there should be a xorg.conf.yyyymmddtime
[07:40] <macd> Jackz, did you install the nvidia drivers?
[07:40] <Jackz> Yeah..
[07:40] <thedcm> is it true that ubuntu supports race mixing?
[07:40] <macd> Jackz, "glxinfo | grep direct" shows yes or no?
[07:41] <Frogzoo> !offtopic | thedcm
[07:41] <ubotu> thedcm: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[07:41] <Matthai> thedcm, what do you mean by race mixing?
[07:41] <ACETAC1> macd, thanks macd i will look into that direction, thanks for your pointer, i really appreciate it =)
[07:41] <mieora> another thing, does anyone heard any experience using ubuntu 6.10 on lenovo t60p?
[07:41] <thedcm> Matthai: I mean like look at the logo, a bunch of people of different colors cooperating and being unified
[07:41] <thedcm> surely that is not the way nature intended it
[07:41] <macd> core , Kro says bye.
[07:41] <core> hehe
[07:41] <Matthai> so?
[07:42] <core> yeah - I stuffed up :)
[07:42] <goban> poningru: thanks i think that helped
[07:42] <macd> thedcm, lets keep the discussion on support, not implied meanings.
[07:42] <thedcm> it is a subliminal symbol for race mixing
[07:42] <Frogzoo> thedcm: either ask an ubuntu related question, offer other's help - or take your race hate elsewhere, plskthx
[07:42] <EdgEy> nature intended.. lol
[07:42] <poningru> goban: no prob if you need to know how to get it back just ping me again
[07:42] <Jackz> The new Xorg, or X or XServer config, whatever it was, makes Ubuntu refuse to boot, giving me an error about there being no screen detected, so I restored the original one - and it declares all 0's
[07:42] <Matthai> how do YOU know what nature intended? :-)

[07:44] <Comrade-Sergei> what a n00b
[07:44] <Matthai> thedcm, lol, I am from europe, we do not have words like that ("niggers") :-)
[07:44] <macd> Jackz, wait that command "glxinfo | grep direct" shows you all zeros?
[07:45] <Jackz> The new Xorg, or X or XServer config, whatever it was, makes Ubuntu refuse to boot, giving me an error about there being no screen detected, so I restored the original one - and it declares all 0's
[07:45] <Jackz> Oops
[07:45] <petetetete> the best thing to do is ignore people like that, they're just trolling for responses like that
[07:45] <Jackz> Wrong copy-paste
[07:45] <liquiddoom> How can I update the index that "Search for Files..." uses?

[07:46] <petetetete> anyways, Frogzoo: there's no way to configure the ports on my router's side, i'm thinkin this on board nic is fried, would you agree?
[07:46] <core> Matthai: you need to use split mate
[07:46] <macd> Jackz, ok, then you need to edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add:  Load           "glx"
 frost wire isnt in synaptic?
[07:46] <Jackz> Macd, Does itm atter where I add it.. beginning? End of code?
[07:46] <macd> !limewire | Comrade-Sergei
[07:46] <ubotu> Comrade-Sergei: limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install !java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider !FrostWire as an alternative.
[07:46] <Matthai> can you give me an example? I couldn't find a switch...
[07:46] <macd> Jackz, where all the other load lines are will be fine
[07:47] <Comrade-Sergei> i know

[07:51] <EdgEy> lisapc, tried installing nvidia-glx?
[07:51] <local> test3D
[07:52] <Beverage> jackz, nano is a built in terminal text editor
[07:52] <lisapc> macd no
[07:52] <macd> Jackz, its a editor
[07:52] <macd> lisapc, then can you see anything on your screen?
[07:52] <lisapc> EdgEy no. I sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx  ?
[07:52] <lisapc> macd yes
[07:52] <EdgEy> yes
[07:52] <macd> lisapc use apt-get install.
[07:52] <lisapc> EdgEy ok fanx
[07:52] <macd> lisapc, then how would you say ubuntu isnt using your video card ;)
[07:52] <EdgEy> use apt-get not aptitude tho
[07:52] <lisapc> macd ill try sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx
[07:53] <macd> lisapc, use apt-get install not aptitude.
[07:53] <ryan_> i cant connect to my router with a linksys wmp54g wireless card...
[07:53] <core> Matthai: try this mate  split --line-bytes=1m test.dat foo.tar.gz
[07:53] <ethan> quit
[07:53] <core> that will put your tar file into 1MB chunks
[07:54] <Jackz> macd, Thanks again, sorry I'm such a n00b.. now I have to restart for that to take effect.. so I'll be back shortly..
[07:54] <macd> Jackz, just log out of X.
[07:54] <macd> logout and back in.
[07:54] <johnficca> dose anyone know how to fix the lines in totem when playing a video?
[07:54] <lisapc> EdgEy why apt-get, not aptitude?
[07:54] <macd> johnficca, download better video?
[07:54] <ubuntu> how do i mount a harddrive
[07:54] <ZorglubZ> no takers on my DNS problem? :(
[07:54] <macd> lisapc, apt-get is more intuitive for linux newbs.
[07:54] <lisapc> macd ok
[07:54] <johnficca> I've tried a lot of videos
[07:55] <lisapc> ubuntu thats an odd question someone using your nick ;)
[07:55] <ubuntu> im on a live CD
[07:55] <ubuntu> thats the automatic nic
[07:55] <ubuntu> k
[07:55] <macd> ZorglubZ, Im sure someone will come along and help you ;) just give it time.
[07:55] <goban> ZorglubZ: i just tried doing to reconfigure and it messed stuff up, i good thing i backed up :) i just want to add the resolution, can i do that manually
[07:56] <darkch1ld> anyone know of a blog host that _doesn't_ require registration?
[07:56] <macd> ZorglubZ, in /etc/network/interfaces is your DNS server address in there?
[07:56] <macd> darkch1ld, kinda defeats the purpose right? just use a pastebin.
[07:56] <ubuntu> how do you mount a harddrive?
[07:56] <lisapc> ubuntu eg, sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mnt
[07:56] <ubuntu> thank you
[07:56] <test3D> running fiesty... the nvida fails to load glx.... dlopen: /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1: undefined symbol: _nv000043gl
[07:56] <lisapc> ubuntu anytime
[07:57] <lisapc> test3D whats fiesty?
[07:57] <ZorglubZ> ummm.. macd: looking, it'll take a min (or 5 :P)
[07:57] <ubuntu> "ubuntu anytime" sounds like it could be a ubuntu live cd
[07:57] <macd> test3D, report the bug, feisty is not supported in this channel please use #ubuntu+1
[07:57] <test3D> the next version of ubunut
[07:57] <test3D> k
[07:57] <lisapc> test3D after 6.10?
[07:57] <Jack1> Fiesty is 7.04
[07:57] <macd> lisapc 7.04
[07:57] <lisapc> macd ok ty
[07:58] <lisapc> macd :)
[07:58] <macd> and actually lisapc Edgy is after dapper, then feisty.
[07:58] <ubuntu> lisapc: where does it mount it to?
[07:58] <petetetete> question: any particular thing i need to do to get ubuntu to recognize / install drivers for a network card I just shoved into it?
[07:58] <lisapc> macd ah ok. that means im using Edgy.  xbuntu 6.10
[07:58] <lisapc> macd should i upgrade from xfc to kde?
[07:59] <macd> petetetete, "lspci" should show it, then use "modprobe" to load the appropriate modules, then youll need to generate a new modulemap.
[07:59] <macd> lisapc thats not an upgrade thats more a preference
[07:59] <lisapc> ubuntu look in /mnt
[07:59] <ZorglubZ> macd: nope, no DNS addy at all; not the one I've put in repeatedly in Networking, anf not the one it auto-reverts to
[07:59] <lisapc> macd do u use kde or gnome?
[08:00] <macd> ZorglubZ, ahhhh ok, then I suggest you adding the settings to /etc/network/interfaces and not use the GUI way of setting it.
[08:00] <mindstate> anyone familiar with fglrx ati driver? im having a world of trouble
[08:00] <lisapc> macd is it hard to get my adsl2+ broadband modem to work?
[08:00] <macd> lisapc, gnome.
[08:00] <ubuntu> lisapc: i found it, but my desktop folder is locked, and thats where the files i need are, how do i veiw the desktop folder?
[08:00] <lisapc> ubuntu not sure sorry
[08:00] <lisapc> ubuntu sudo?
[08:01] <ubuntu> i ddi
[08:01] <ubuntu> did*
[08:01] <macd> good luck ZorglubZ its 1am here I need to jet.
[08:01] <petetetete> actually, i didn't need to do anything, it, dare I say, "plugged and played"
[08:01] <ZorglubZ> goban: sorry, no clue... I used i915 to get it to work on this PB
[08:01] <ubuntu> i can view everything but desktop
[08:01] <mindstate> anyone familiar with fglrx ati driver? im having a world of trouble
[08:01] <RememberPOL> Hi
[08:01] <RememberPOL> How can I reinstall the latest driver from the apt-get repository?
[08:01] <ZorglubZ> ok, macd, no worries... g'night:)
[08:02] <arrenlex> !ask | mindstate
[08:02] <ubotu> mindstate: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:02] <Jack1> The screen portion of my xorg config says that my device is a gneric device.. is that a bad thing? Shouldn't it have my video card listed there?
[08:02] <Comrade-Sergei> macd it doesnt fire up when i click the icon what the ?
[08:02] <johnficca> mindstate, what kind of trouble?
[08:02] <mindstate> arrenlex: i cant get X to start up using the  fglrx driver
[08:02] <petetetete> This is a turnkey day for me and linux, ubuntu was actually easier and quicker to install than windows.
[08:02] <arrenlex> !doesn't work | mindstate
[08:02] <ubotu> mindstate: Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel)

[08:03] <skar> Frogzoo: any work arounds available already?
[08:03] <ToHellWithGA> how can i add the user "ryan" to the group "vboxusers"?
[08:03] <RememberPOL> I've had to revert to 2.6.17-10-386 because
[08:03] <mindstate> arrenlex: X wont start, no screens found with the fglrx module loaded
[08:03] <RememberPOL> my xorg crashed
[08:03] <arrenlex> mindstate: Ah, no screens found. Would it be possible for you to pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[08:04] <johnficca> mindstate, what kind of graphics card do you have?
[08:04] <Comrade-Sergei> macd? it doesnt work...?
[08:04] <mindstate> arrenlex: yes give me a second
[08:04] <RememberPOL> arrenlex: Might you know how to reinstall the latest kernel with apt-get ?
[08:04] <mindstate> johnficca: ati radeon
[08:04] <johnficca> X what
[08:04] <arrenlex> RememberPOL: If your question is "how do I reinstall a package", the answer is sudo apt-get install --reinstall <package>
[08:04] <RememberPOL> no
[08:05] <RememberPOL> specifically the kernel
[08:05] <RememberPOL> latest kernel
[08:05] <RememberPOL> i already have it, but i want to remove and reinstall it...
[08:05] <johnficca> mindstate, did you follow the steps on the ati wiki site?
[08:05] <mindstate> johnficca: yes too a tee
[08:06] <mindstate> arrenlex: i posted it on my site..easier to scp from terminal ..mindstate.cerveau.us/xorg.conf
[08:06] <Xif> is there a reason not to have a REALLY short and simple password (like "p") if I'm not running an SSH server?
[08:06] <RememberPOL> yes
[08:06] <arrenlex> mindstate: Interesting. 1x1 resolution. I wonder what that would look like.
[08:07] <petetetete> well thanks everyone for your help, i am very impressed with ubuntu so far ( just installed for the first time today) and will probably be back, but I will spread the livecd, adios
[08:07] <johnficca> mindstate, did you do the ubuntu way or manually?
[08:07] <Jack1>  The screen portion of my xorg config says that my device is a gneric device.. is that a bad thing? Shouldn't it have my video card listed there?  Also when it tells me to change the driver portion of the xorg.conf , which driver portion does it mean? There are many.
[08:07] <mindstate> arrenlex: lol well it was done automatically
[08:07] <RememberPOL> arrenlex: Any idea?
[08:07] <Xif> RememberPOL: and that reason is...?
[08:07] <mindstate> johnficca: i guess the ubuntu way..i just followed the instructions for Edgy
[08:07] <arrenlex> RememberPOL: Do you know the package name?
[08:08] <RememberPOL> no
[08:08] <arrenlex> RememberPOL: And\or are you running this kernel right now?
[08:08] <rcrook> hi all, can someone give me pointers on how to setup opensynce with my ipaq? specifically with the file plugin?
[08:08] <RememberPOL> arrenlex: No
[08:08] <RememberPOL> I'm running 2.6.17-10-386
[08:08] <RememberPOL> one older than the latest
[08:08] <johnficca> mindstate, you might want to try the manul way.
[08:08] <mindstate> johnficca: whats the manual way
[08:09] <johnficca> mindstate, Method 2 on this page http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Edgy_Installation_Guide
[08:09] <Jack1> The screen portion of my xorg config says that my device is a gneric device.. is that a bad thing? Shouldn't it have my video card listed there?  Also when it tells me to change the driver portion of the xorg.conf , which driver portion does it mean? There are many.
[08:09] <RememberPOL> arrenlex: 2.6.17-11-generic looks to be the latest
[08:10] <mindstate> johnficca: thanks
[08:10] <arrenlex> Jack1: There is only one device section. Look for Section "Device"
[08:10] <mindstate> ill see brb
[08:10] <arrenlex> RememberPOL: There you go. Reinstall that, then.
[08:10] <Jack1> Okay. Device it is.
[08:10] <johnficca> mindsate, just give it a try, I always try one and if it dose not work I do the other
[08:11] <ZorglubZ|away> bugger'd.. can anyone giveme the syntax to use for dns servers in etc/network/interfaces ?
[08:11] <me> I am getting a coredump on glx usage... glxinfo dumps...
[08:12] <me> I am getting a coredump on glx usage... glxinfo dumps... / oh.. hter are no errors in the xorg.log
[08:12] <Agrajag-> g'day, i was setting up ldap on a machine, and there's an incorrect ldap ip somewhere. on boot i get "nss_ldap: could not connect to any LDAP server as ....", and never gets anywhere, as it just tries over and over again. how can i disable ldap stuff on boot? (it still happens with recovery mode)
[08:12] <johnficca> mindstate, make sure you remove the xorg-driver-fglrx package first
[08:13] <rryan> so... off the top of anyone's head, is there a problem with the apache2 ubuntu package that causes the apache2 daemon to die every few days for no apparent reason? Ive run into this on a couple different boxes running 6.10. They each had pretty simple setups, generally nothign more complicated than mod_php.
[08:14] <CaptainMorgan> any links for me to setup a mysql database? I didn't find any services similar in System->Admin->Services..
[08:15] <threeseas> help - I can't log on to my desktop - using another machine - the message I get and the search thru script files leads me to believe there is an issue with two file /var/log/wtmp and /var/run/utmp
[08:15] <Xif> is there a reason not to have a REALLY short and simple password (like "p") if I'm not running an SSH server?
[08:16] <D_dog> xif in reality a password on your home computer that has no real outside threats is very safe and a short one would be adequate however
[08:16] <mneptok> Xif: of course. ssh isn't the only way to gain access
[08:16] <D_dog> you should get into a good practice of using secure passwords
[08:16] <threeseas> mkdtmp: private socket dir: no space left on device --- but there is I believ
[08:16] <D_dog> passwords with numbers and letters are fairly secure and not that hard to remember
[08:17] <Xif> mneptok: which other way is there on a regular Ubuntu installation?
[08:17] <arrenlex> Xif: Your stupid friends who hang out at your house all the time will accidentally log in one time, and then for the next ten years they will insist they "hacked" you with their "hacking skills", drive you insane, and cause you to murder them, landing you in jail, where you will be raped by large black men and otherwise traumatised until your release 30 years later when you are the shell of a human being and live for a while robbing liquor
[08:17] <arrenlex> :)
[08:17] <Xif> D_dog: yeah, but I'm using sudo a lot and tired of typing it all :)
[08:17] <zoidberg> hey guys
[08:17] <zoidberg> how can i log into a remote XMDCP session in ubuntu
[08:17] <zoidberg> ?
[08:17] <mneptok> Xif: Google for "remote exploit." i'm sure what you find is not limiteh to openssh. ;)
[08:17] <D_dog> i understand but good habits will stay with you the rest of your life
[08:18] <zoidberg> macd, are u there
[08:18] <Xif> arrenlex: oh, I see >_>
[08:18] <Xif> mneptok: will a remote exploiter need my password?
[08:18] <arrenlex> Xif: Yeah, eh.
[08:18] <sorush21> is there anything similar to system restore point in ubuntu
[08:18] <zoidberg> macd, u told me how to do it but i couldnt find the XMDCP option in the log in session menu
[08:18] <Xif> arrenlex: btw, I'd rule prison, so no worries.
[08:19] <mneptok> Xif: a remote exploit usually doesn't get you sudo access. but if your password is "p" then that safety net goes right out the window.
[08:19] <Xif> D_dog: actually, mneptok may have a point. a remote exploiter can easily escalate priviliges if I have a stupid root password.
[08:20] <D_dog> all true but in reality you have little to fear..i still suggest you use a fairly secure password for home
[08:20] <Xif> guess I might just change it to something more secure once I'm done with the basic setup (and don't need sudo that much anymore).
[08:20] <Xif> D_dog: yeah, I've had a Debian hacked.
[08:20] <rylan> so, for some reason i log in, i have sound, after a while, possibly because another program is effing it up. i have no sound. i restart, and i have sound again. rinse repeat
[08:21] <incorrect> can linux do stateful failover networking yet?
[08:21] <Xif> what do you guys think of Gentoo? :P
[08:21] <mneptok> Xif: i try not to,
[08:21] <Xif> mneptok: hehe, why?
[08:22] <arrenlex> Xif: Life is too short to run gentoo.
[08:22] <Tiplet> I'm more at a loss of words over Gentoo than I am on the state of humanity.
[08:22] <Xif> it's seems to be coming into fashion again.
[08:22] <incorrect> Xif, i used getntoo for some time
[08:22] <mneptok> Xif: it's a cute toy, but i wouldn't take it on the highway.
[08:22] <incorrect> i agree with arrenlex, i have better things to do than watch stuff compile
[08:23] <Xif> mneptok: why not?  other than the compile time, that is?
[08:23] <incorrect> if you want to feel like you are getting the benefits of compiling stuff yourself, build your own debs
[08:23] <incorrect> i have to build my own backports all the time
[08:23] <fearphage> i set kubuntu to an unusable display range. i have edited the xorg.conf multiple times with no results. what do i need to revert to get anything displayed? kde will not start at all currently
[08:23] <Xif> Tiplet: wouldn't compile time decrease to near nothing as hardware gets better?
[08:23] <fearphage> unusable resolution*
[08:23] <incorrect> setup falcon and you can push you debs to all your systems
[08:23] <sorush21> is there anything similar to system restore point in ubuntu
[08:23] <sorush21> system restore in windows
[08:24] <Tiplet> Xif: That's all in escalation.
[08:24] <incorrect> i maintain a amd64 and i386 repository on my network for all the systems i have
[08:24] <mneptok> Xif: Gentoo? on a server? terrible idea.
[08:24] <Tiplet> As hardware progresses, software capability and complexity follows.
[08:24] <incorrect> mneptok: i know some guys who do, but i wouldn't let them run a network for me
[08:24] <Xif> mneptok: ok, but what about for home/development station?
[08:24] <mneptok> fearphage: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:24] <mneptok> Xif: what benefit is there?
[08:25] <fearphage> did it a few times. selected lower resolutions everytime
[08:25] <Tiplet> Compile times on hardware in its time in comparison to Claws-Mail or TB in this day of age.
[08:25] <Xif> Tiplet: ok, so basically,  you rule it out because of compile time?
[08:25] <Tiplet> Err, for Mutt.
[08:25] <Tiplet> Xif: What, Gentoo?
[08:25] <Xif> yes
[08:25] <Xif> mneptok: not being hit by binary builds not available for my platform, for one.
[08:25] <Tiplet> Gentoo has its place, I'd never recommend it unless you're very sure that you don't need the luxury of binary distribution.
[08:26] <mneptok> Xif: such as?
[08:26] <Tiplet> Well.
[08:26] <Xif> I'm using AMD64 at home, and CoreDuo at work, the former lacks so many packages it's basically unusable, the later doesn't even have an Ubuntu distro for it.
[08:26] <solid_liq> gentoo is supposed to be fast, but because of the compilation, it's actually the slowest heheh
[08:26] <Tiplet> Most people would think that a Gentoo box would be ideal for server deployment.
[08:26] <reduz> Question!! When I upgraded to EDGY, my xorg setup lost the ability to resize the screen using alt-ctrl-+/- , how do i turn that back on?
[08:27] <mneptok> Xif: the Core Duo most certainly does. AMD64
[08:27] <solid_liq> Tiplet: no, debian is, gentoo is crazy to use on a server
[08:27] <mneptok> Xif: (or i386)
[08:27] <Tiplet> Yeah.
[08:27] <incorrect> Xif: if you want to try something, try it,  with gentoo you will learn a lot!
[08:27] <RememberPOL> How can you check recently removed packages in synaptic?
[08:27] <Jackz> Thanks a lot for the help, macd
[08:27] <mneptok> Xif: what packages are missing for AMD64?
[08:27] <Jackz> Turns out my real problem was just
[08:27] <solid_liq> reduz: edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, there'll probably be a comment in there telling you the flag to switch (not VTSwitch, but something similar)
[08:28] <Xif> mneptok: yeah, eventually I just installed i386 on both. I needed Flash, Skype.
[08:28] <Crypticfortune> mneptok: i read on the ubuntu forums that ubuntu had no plans to support intel core 2 duo. is it supposed to work with AMD64?
[08:28] <Jackz> That the power to my video card was just being split too many times before it got there - and it wasn't getting enough power
[08:28] <solid_liq> incorrect: you are incorrect! ;)
[08:28] <Tiplet> No support for C2D?
[08:28] <Xif> mneptok, Tiplet: you mean I should install the AMD64 version on the CoreDuo as well?
[08:28] <mneptok> Xif: Gentoo is not going to get you Flash on AMD64, guy.
[08:28] <reduz> solid_liq, i dont see anything in there
[08:29] <incorrect> solid_liq: indeed i am
[08:29] <Tiplet> I have no idea. lol
[08:29] <Tiplet> I'm just boggling over Gentoo.
[08:29] <Xif> mneptok: actually, I tried the Dapper AMD64, so maybe more packages are available for Edgy.
[08:29] <solid_liq> reduz: hmm, try a google for xorg.conf then and read through the results
[08:29] <Jackz> Well.. thanks a ton for your halp, guys
[08:29] <mneptok> Crypticfortune: the Core 2 Duo uses the x86-64 instruction set
[08:29] <skar> anyone know of a way i can install ubuntu on a p5b motherboard with i965 chipset? seems fedora core 6 supports this board already :(
[08:29] <RememberPOL> Is there an apt-get log to check for recently removed packages?
[08:29] <Tiplet> Server-wise, it's a mess as security patches need applied as soon as possible. And for a casual user, who needs a program for a use then and now... meh.
[08:30] <Crypticfortune> mneptok: yeah i know. so theoretically it should work, right? so i wonder what was up with that forum post...
[08:30] <solid_liq> Xif: if you want flash on amd64, you need to install firefox and flash9 in a 32-bit chroot jail
[08:30] <Tiplet> skar: Any board in particular?
[08:30] <incorrect> its amusing why someone in ubuntu askes should i try gentoo,  i might as well ask if i should try eating apples or reduce my coffee intake
[08:30] <solid_liq> Xif: that'll work on any distro
[08:30] <skar> Tiplet: Asus P5B non-deluxe version
[08:30] <Tiplet> It couldn't hurt to try Gentoo.
[08:30] <reduz> solid_liq, no, I mean.. I know the DontZoom and DontVTSwitch options, but they are not anywhere in my xorg.conf
[08:30] <Xif> solid_liq: which is a nightmare... but I guess it's like that on all versions.
[08:30] <Jackz> Wahoo!
[08:30] <mneptok> Crypticfortune: what was up with that forum post is "don't believe the Intarzwebz" ;)
[08:30] <Flannel> RememberPOL: /var/log/ and then the dpkg logs
[08:30] <Xif> skar: there's some parameters you need to pass. are you trying to install Edgy?
[08:30] <solid_liq> Xif: btw, I'm running amd64 edgy right now, there's plenty here
[08:31] <Xif> solid_liq: but not Flash or Skype
[08:31] <skar> xif: i'm game for dapper or edgy :)
[08:31] <skar> xif: not feisty at its alpha stage
[08:31] <solid_liq> reduz: oh, DontZoom is it, just add it, DontZoom=false
[08:31] <mneptok> Xif: another distro will not give you Flash and Skype in x64-64 form. period.
[08:31] <Tiplet> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Core_2_Duo_Support
[08:31] <solid_liq> Xif: thank closed-source software for that
[08:32] <Crypticfortune> mneptok: indeed. but im trying to get some linux distro running on this new intel core 2 duo machine my lab just bought and neither ubuntu or gentoo nor mepis is
[08:32] <reduz> solid_liq, oh
[08:32] <Crypticfortune> mneptok: (oops) loading the kernel... =(
[08:32] <solid_liq> Xif: 32-bit chroot for those :(
[08:32] <solid_liq> mneptok: no, knowing how to setup a 32-bit chroot for them will, though, on any distro :P
[08:32] <Tiplet> That board's listed down there under the mis-detection of SATA controller.
[08:33] <skar> Tiplet: that page doesn't seem to list a solution, that page almost concludes there's no solution, maybe they've updated the page after i saw it 2 days ago
[08:33] <solid_liq> mneptok: er, should've read that better heheh
[08:33] <mneptok> solid_liq: feel free to spend *your* time walking users through that.
[08:33] <Tiplet> skar: Don't know what to say, other than doing blind Google searches.
[08:34] <xopher> solid_liq, or, use nspluginwrapper
[08:34] <skar> Tiplet: hehe that's where i stumbled upon FC6 working on this board, gonna install FC6, then use its kernel config to build a new kernel for ubuntu ;)
[08:34] <solid_liq> mneptok: heheh, I don't help newbs :D  I switched to kubuntu finally after using everything else, though I must admit I'm tempted to go back to debian
[08:34] <mneptok> skar: does that board have a PATA controller?
[08:34] <skar> Tiplet: gonna take some 2 more days, but i think its worth it
[08:34] <Tiplet> Only problems I ever heard about P5B boards were with the jMicron controllers.
[08:34] <Tiplet> mm, better safe than sorry.
[08:34] <xopher> solid_liq, what's so tempting about debian? 
[08:34] <skar> mneptok: yup a jmicron pata one which doesn't have support in dapper for now
[08:34] <Tiplet> I'm building a C2D rig next month after the E6350 launches.
[08:35] <mneptok> skar: it's supported, but the drivel is missing from initramfs
[08:35] <solid_liq> xopher: it's nice and fast, and I've been using linux long enough that it's plenty easy for me to get setup the way I like
[08:35] <mneptok> *driver
[08:35] <skar> Tiplet: i'm running a 4300 @ 3 GHZ, will get a better HSF and clock it to 3.6, 100% overclock
[08:35] <mneptok> (might be drvel, too)
[08:35] <Tiplet> Only worry of mine is if nvidia-glx will support the 8600GTX early enough.
[08:35] <Tiplet> Man, I've been wondering about the 4300.
[08:35] <solid_liq> xopher: oh, and it's really fast, faster than ubuntu
[08:35] <skar> mneptok: oh ok, how do i make a new initramd with the driver loaded from it during grub time?
[08:36] <Tiplet> 9x multiplier, right?
[08:36] <xopher> solid_liq, really? a noticable difference?
[08:36] <solid_liq> xopher: oh hell yeah
[08:36] <bwilson> What does this mean?  ::   Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock  open
[08:36] <xopher> solid_liq, in what way? application startup? snappier?
[08:36] <xopher> bwilson, run as root
[08:36] <solid_liq> xopher: you just need to have a lot more gnu/linux knowledge accumulated to get it setup fully
[08:36] <xopher> bwilson, correction, with sudo
[08:36] <bwilson> xopher:  i am.    sudo -i
[08:37] <xopher> bwilson, or, then you have synaptic running at the same time
[08:37] <Flannel> bwilson: Close other package managers you have running
[08:37] <solid_liq> xopher: way snappier, noticably lower cpu utilization, lower memory consumption, it just flies
[08:37] <mneptok> skar: you need to drop to a console, inject the driver into the initramfs, sudo depmod -a, and update-initramfs
[08:37] <bwilson> Flannel:  oh i cant update and have Add/Remove Applications running at the same time?
[08:37] <youkilldkennedy> Anyone know why MadMan crashes unexpectantly?
[08:37] <solid_liq> bwilson: or check to make sure you don't have another apt/whatever instance running
[08:37] <xopher> solid_liq, well, I started with debian, swithed to ubuntu mainly because my pc crashed, and hehe, I had the ubuntu cd on my desk
[08:37] <Tiplet> Hahaha.
[08:38] <Tiplet> You never appreciate the beauty of a command shell until you try to manage a directory if 98,000+ images.
[08:38] <youkilldkennedy> Hehe
[08:38] <Kr0ntab> tahts a lot of pr0n
[08:38] <xopher> now WHY would you have 98,000 images in one directory? :|
[08:38] <Kr0ntab> ;)
[08:38] <Tiplet> I mirrored an archive of Moeboard.
[08:39] <xopher> And it was already answered
[08:39] <Steil> my right alt key isn't mapped in X, how can i fix it?
[08:39] <youkilldkennedy> Hehe
[08:40] <solid_liq> xopher: heheh, I started with redhat 5.1, used it through redhat 9, took a brief detour to mandrake 9.1, used slackware for about 1.5 years, moved to gentoo, got sick and tired of compiling everything all the time, moved to kubuntu because it was a stark contrast, and have used debian at various times through all that, oh and suse (briefly), so I wanted the ultra easy route for awhile, but really I realize now that debian is actually
[08:40] <solid_liq> the easiest in the long run.  More stable, better package selection...
[08:40] <skar> mneptok: this command sequence when trying to boot with dapper installer? when it fails to detect and drops to busybox shell?
[08:40] <youkilldkennedy> How do I get a custom launcher in GNOME to run a file in a specific program?
[08:41] <solid_liq> oh, after using gentoo for about 1.5-2 years is when I got sick of it, heheh
[08:41] <xopher> solid_liq, true I guess. What did you think of suse?
[08:41] <solid_liq> xopher: too bloated
[08:41] <Tiplet> youkilldkennedy: You mean a launcher for the desktop or in the menu?
[08:41] <mneptok> skar: no, those are not exact commands. if that process does not make sense, then you probably should not try it. sorta a "you must be this tall to ride this ride" kinda thing. no offense. ;)
[08:41] <youkilldkennedy> Tiplet: Menu
[08:41] <solid_liq> xopher: I think it might be nice if they improved their package management and streamlined the whole distro tho
[08:42] <Tiplet> youkilldkennedy: There's bound to be an easier method but .desktop (basically, launchers) files in /usr/share/applications/.
[08:42] <xopher> solid_liq, which probably won't happen, well anytime soon anyway
[08:42] <skar> solid_liq: i too dumped gentoo after 2 years, switched to ubuntu for desktop, though for servers with exotics libds and development, no beating gentoo with its source based installs and use flags
[08:42] <solid_liq> xopher: yep
[08:42] <youkilldkennedy> Tiplet: Sounds like a plan. Thanks.
[08:42] <Tiplet> Total: 19 G (98220 files, 1 directory) <-- That's a whole lotta ecchi. :\
[08:42] <skar> mneptok: i know initram can be mounted, etc, whats the driver name?
[08:43] <skar> mneptok: hmm maybe i can try this, have done similar stuff before, just that ubuntu got me out of those low level stuff for far too long ;)
[08:43] <solid_liq> skar: nah, I switched to debian for the servers, more reliable, faster, more stable.  seriously, the packages built for debian are usually built by the project leads themselves, so they're built very well
[08:43] <youkilldkennedy> Tiplet: Oh.. I figured it out. Was just typing the wrong thing. ^^
[08:44] <aliasd> heyas, i just installed a new soundcard, it shows up in aplay -l and it shows up in lspci, but it doesnt have a new dsp... how do i make it so?
[08:44] <Tiplet> Anyone have an idea as how to limit the number of lines outputted by 'ls' (with them in a single column, course)?
[08:44] <solid_liq> well, no one is answering in #kde, so: anyone know if I can setup konsole to automatically switch my schema to VIMColors when I run vim?
[08:45] <solid_liq> Tiplet: yep
[08:45] <solid_liq> Tiplet: how many lines?
[08:45] <Tiplet> I dunno, 400? lol
[08:45] <solid_liq> Tiplet: and just the first amount? last amount?  what?
[08:45] <Tiplet> The first four-hundred lines.
[08:46] <Crypticfortune> question - so never having run/installed ubuntu before, im not sure what's supposed to be happening, but why would it be getting to "booting the kernel." and then hang indefinitely?
[08:46] <solid_liq> Tiplet: ls | head -n 400
[08:46] <solid_liq> Crypticfortune: does it say "kernel panic" somewhere?
[08:46] <Tiplet> Haha, right on.
[08:46] <solid_liq> :D
[08:46] <Tiplet> I really need to read a man page on head someday.
[08:46] <Crypticfortune> solid_liq: nope. just a blinking cursor
[08:46] <solid_liq> Tiplet: for the last 400, use:   ls | tail -n 400
[08:47] <monzie> hi all
[08:47] <monzie>  i have a problem with mutt on ubuntu 6.10 edgy
[08:47] <Tiplet> mm, time to divi up some sweet, degrading ecchi.
[08:47] <solid_liq> Crypticfortune: maybe your X server wasn't configured correctly then
[08:47] <Crypticfortune> Tiplet: or to look at them at your leisure: ls | less
[08:47] <monzie> it does not refresh IMAP folders automatically, is there any way it can do it?
[08:48] <Crypticfortune> solid_liq: im just booting off the cd. i tried the "safe graphics mode" thing, same result. is there a "console only" mode somewhere?
[08:48] <solid_liq> Tiplet, Crypticfortune: then you can scroll up and down through them, with vi-style keybindings too :)  j,k,<space bar>, etc :)
[08:48] <seamus7> Hi I'm on Edgy using XGL/Beryl with an ATI Radeon Mobile X1300 ... if my system finishes booting ... all works great ... but half the time it feezes on boot up or stalls for a two or three minutes ... I bet it's something simple but not sure .. any ideas?
[08:48] <solid_liq> Crypticfortune: try pressing <ctrl><alt><F1>
[08:48] <Tiplet> mm
[08:49] <youkilldkennedy> Does anyone know anything about MadMan?
[08:49] <rryan> Anyone know why apache2 tends to die periodically in 6.10?
[08:50] <senectus> I cant seem to upgrade from cd because of these three apps, any ideas on how to fix it? dpkg-dev g++ libc6-dev
[08:50] <solid_liq> rryan: probably because the packages in 6.10 period don't seem like they were put together nearly as well as the packages in 6.06
[08:50] <kazuka> my linux install finally isnt crashing
[08:50] <exs> I'm using ubuntu but I came from a windows background. Is there any network bandwidth controlling program similar to NetLimiter?.. I'm used to controlling how much bandwidth I use .. Thanks
[08:51] <kazuka> its kinda wierd
[08:51] <rryan> hmm... i've also seen it happen in 6.06
[08:51] <solid_liq> exs: yeah, a bunch, but I don't use them personnally.  search for bandwidth quota tool
[08:51] <kazuka> and my game cod2 is working properly
[08:51] <Crypticfortune> solid_liq: i dont think its getting far enough for <ctrl><alt><F1> to mean anything. the kernel isnt even loaded yet.
[08:52] <solid_liq> rryan: well, you know you should be using apache 1.3.x instead of 2.x anyway, right?
[08:52] <bwilson> Does apache 1.0 come preinstalled?
[08:52] <solid_liq> Crypticfortune: hrm
[08:52] <Slart> exs: I haven't seen anything on linux that deals with individual applications like netlimiter.. but I haven't seen everything.. there might be something out there
[08:52] <solid_liq> bwilson: no, it's server software, so you need to apt-get install it
[08:52] <braneq> hello, is here someone from slovakia or czech?
[08:53] <braneq> i need help with kubuntu edgy.
[08:53] <bwilson> solid_liq:  so in order for /etc/init.d/apache to exist somebody on the computer would have installed it?
[08:53] <solid_liq> Slart, exs: actually, clever iptables rules can give you that
[08:53] <kazuka> guys
[08:53] <solid_liq> bwilson: yep
[08:53] <rryan> solid_liq: shrug.. i haven't had a huge number of problems with apache2 in the past... just specifically with ubuntu
[08:53] <Slart> solid_liq: oh? application quotas? didn't know that.. any nice words to google for?
[08:54] <solid_liq> rryan: not just on ubuntu, but period, you should use 1.3.x
[08:54] <fearphage> anyone have experience with the rage xl driver? its not being recognized on my comp although i see it is for others
[08:54] <fearphage> its not even recognized as ati
[08:54] <solid_liq> Slart: no, you have to create the rules by process id, so you have to pgrep for the app and use the pids resulting for your rules
[08:54] <rryan> solid_liq: yea i know, i'm saying i've had good stability with it on other distros, which suggests to me that it's more an issue with the package. If I can't track down the reason for it I guess I'll just move back to 1.3.x
[08:55] <braneq> i was upgrade from dapper to edgy. in dapper after typing "uname -r" i was see some like "2.6.15-27-k7"
[08:55] <solid_liq> rryan: but you know that, by design, the 2.x series has security vulnerabilities in it?  the black hats all say to use 1.3.x if you don't want your apache server hacked
[08:55] <bwilson> solid_liq:  so to install apache2 do i use apt-get install apache2?  instead of just apache?
[08:56] <Slart> solid_liq: ah.. looks like a crontab script would be in order then... thanks
[08:56] <Crypticfortune> maybe this cd is hosed.....if i hit escape to go to the text boot menu, hit enter for default, it hangs on loading initrd...
[08:56] <solid_liq> bwilson: yep
[08:56] <solid_liq> Slart: or better, a daemon
[08:57] <solid_liq> Crypticfortune: yeah, that may be the problem
[08:57] <Slart> solid_liq:  of course.. a daemon would be even better
[08:57] <solid_liq> Crypticfortune: unless the cd is for the wrong architecture ;)
[08:57] <youkilldkennedy> Anyone know why the program MadMan closes every time you change songs?
[08:57] <Tiplet> youkilldkennedy: Run it in a terminal and post the error output (if any) in the Patebin.
[08:58] <solid_liq> Slart: or, you could symlink the apps to a script which starts the app, then inserts the proper iptables rules using the pids from the app once it's started
[08:58] <braneq> in edgy i have to choise only "x.x.xx-xx-386" or "x.x.xx-xx-generic"
[08:58] <Tiplet> Pastebin, even. :\
[08:58] <solid_liq> youkilldkennedy: it's probably crashing
[08:58] <zoidberg> hey guys
[08:58] <zoidberg> i need some help with XMDCP
[08:58] <zoidberg> can anyone help me
[08:59] <Flannel> !ask | zoidberg
[08:59] <ubotu> zoidberg: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:59] <Flannel> braneq: generic is what you want
[08:59] <Slart> solid_liq: yes, I'm guessing you only have max 5 applications you want to limit anyway..
[08:59] <Crypticfortune> solid_liq: intel core 2 duo -> AMD64 distro right? quite frustrating =(
[08:59] <braneq> Flannel: generiv = k7 ?
[08:59] <Tiplet> Is there any tool to generate a sequence of numbers? :o
[08:59] <zoidberg> i'm trying to log in into an XMDCP session i enabled XMDCP on the login menu but i still dont see it there?
[09:00] <Flannel> braneq: yes, they've all been rolled into one kernel with optimizations configured at runtime
[09:00] <solid_liq> Crypticfortune: yeah.  you might want to try ia32 instead
[09:00] <Flannel> zoidberg: youre trying to login to another machien from your own?
[09:00] <solid_liq> Crypticfortune: 64 bit can be annoying because of the proprietary apps not having 64 bit flavors anyway
[09:00] <Crypticfortune> Tiplet: what do you mean sequence? for example: "seq 5 10" will print out "5 6 7 8 9 10"
[09:01] <zoidberg> Flannel, yes
[09:01] <braneq> Flannel: ok, thanx. i have onemore question :P
[09:01] <youkilldkennedy> Tiplet: How would I run it in the terminal? I'm a week old in linux ^^
[09:01] <Tiplet> Crypticfortune: Exactly like that, actually. lol
[09:02] <solid_liq> youkilldkennedy: go to a terminal and type the name.  if it doesn't work, type:    whereis programsname
[09:03] <zoidberg> Flannel, are u there
[09:03] <zoidberg> cananyone help me
[09:03] <youkilldkennedy> solid_liq: After pressing Whereis: MadMan it shows "Madman:" and thats it.
[09:04] <solid_liq> youkilldkennedy: try it all lower case
[09:04] <Kaso> So i wonder if anyone could gimme a hand; my firefox isnt saving its config between sessions, eariler people suggested it was permissions fault, but ls -al /home/kaso/.mozilla/ gives me drwxrwxr--  3 kaso kaso 4096 2007-02-12 14:39 firefox so i have full RW access, anyone got other ideas?
[09:04] <daftman> hi
[09:04] <daftman> can someone help me stop evolution from running at the start?
[09:04] <seamus7> Hi I'm on Edgy using XGL/Beryl on an ATI Radeon X1300 card ... works great ...  but half the time my computer freezes on bootup .... can someone scan my /var/log/messages, Xorg.0.log and xorg.conf files here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6523/  ???
[09:05] <solid_liq> Kaso: ls -l ~/.mozilla
[09:05] <Crypticfortune> solid_liq: ok, the i386 version breaks even sooner. it just says "loading" and hangs....
[09:05] <solid_liq> Kaso: ls -ld ~/.mozilla
[09:05] <solid_liq> Crypticfortune: hrm, weird
[09:05] <Flannel> zoidberg: Click the "options" button, remote login should be there
[09:06] <youkilldkennedy> Tiplet: Where do I find a pastebin?
[09:06] <solid_liq> youkilldkennedy: pastebin.com
[09:06] <Flannel> !paste | youkilldkennedy
[09:06] <ubotu> youkilldkennedy: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[09:06] <zoidberg> there is no options button
[09:06] <dromer> !pastebin | youkilldkennedy
[09:06] <zoidberg> Flannel, there is a Sessions button
[09:06] <daftman> !evolution
[09:06] <ubotu> evolution: The groupware suite. In component main, is optional. Version 2.8.1-0ubuntu4 (edgy), package size 5022 kB, installed size 38204 kB
[09:07] <Crypticfortune> is there ever any bad problem with the ubuntu installer not dealing well with certain cd-rom drives?
[09:07] <Flannel> zoidberg: lower left corner, no options button?  Alright, go ahead and login, then go to the Login preferences config, and the "remote" tab
[09:07] <Kaso> solid_liq, drwxrwxr-- 4 kaso kaso 4096 2007-02-12 21:00 /home/kaso/.mozilla   and its still not saving
[09:07] <zoidberg> ok then?
[09:07] <daftman> can some one help me remove evolution running at boot
[09:08] <youkilldkennedy> Tiplet: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6524/
[09:08] <seamus7> My system is freezing on boot up about half the time, any linux gurus out there available to scan my log files here... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6523/
[09:08] <Flannel> zoidberg: er, hmm.  that's not the right thing, that'll make it so others can login to you.  You're looking for local settings, what setting did you enable already?
[09:09] <braneq> i have install fglrx drivers in this edgy, and the system has be freezy few second after logon...
[09:09] <Slart> seamus7: my system does the same.. about half the time it halts after some usb stuff..
[09:09] <daftman> hello
[09:09] <daftman> can anyone help me remove evolution at start up?
[09:09] <Tiplet> youkilldkennedy: Have no idea what to make of that, was hoping it'd be a little more human readable. :E
[09:10] <bwilson> How can I start apache server?
[09:10] <youkilldkennedy> Tiplet: Err, I pasted the wrong thing.
[09:10] <Tiplet> daftman: Not a GNOME user but there should be an entry in the control panel to edit your session and/or auto-started programs.
[09:10] <Flannel> bwilson: it starts on bootup, but /etc/init.d/apache start
[09:10] <daftman> Tiplet: what control panel?
[09:10] <Flannel> bwilson: or /etc/init.d/apache2 start, if youre running apache2
[09:10] <seamus7> Slart: hmmm I bet it's something simple ... I'm on the 2.16.17.11 kernel on Edgy with XGL/Beryl using an ATI Radeon Mobile X1300 ... once it finishes booting everything works great
[09:10] <youkilldkennedy> Tiplet: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6525/
[09:10] <daftman> gnome doesn't have control panel
[09:11] <solid_liq> Kaso: try chown kaso:kaso -R ~/.mozilla
[09:11] <Tiplet> System > Preferences?
[09:11] <bwilson> Flannel:  in the init.d folder i have apache and apache2
[09:11] <Tiplet> I haven't used GNOME since... I can't remember.
[09:11] <whiz2_> does anyone in here know what file I need to edit to make a program startup when I boot Linux but before my desktop session begins?
[09:11] <daftman> I checked
[09:11] <daftman> it has the basic
[09:11] <daftman> it doesn't even list evolution
[09:11] <Flannel> bwilson: Well, then you have them both installed. and that's probably the reason you're having issues.
[09:11] <daftman> but the stupid bugger keep runing at start
[09:11] <daftman> the evolution server that is
[09:11] <brokenarrowLinux> hey, im completly new to Linux, and to Ubuntu, my question how do i get my sound to work?
[09:12] <Slart> seamus7: I'm using the 2.6.17-11-generic kernel on a AMD 64 bit... same thing here.. when it works it works flawlessly.. using 64 bit ubuntu, beryl sometimes
[09:12] <senectus> is there any way to force apt to upgrade from CDROM _ONLY_ ?
[09:12] <Tiplet> Oh, I thought you meant the client itself.
[09:12] <daftman> no
[09:12] <daftman> not the client
[09:12] <daftman> the server
[09:12] <whiz2_> I'm running kubuntu and trying to have vncserver running as my user when the computer boots
[09:12] <Kaso> solid_liq, no change with that
[09:12] <daftman> evolution-exchange-storage
[09:12] <Slart> seamus7: oh.. and I use nvidia
[09:12] <daftman> and evolution-data-server
[09:12] <whiz2_> without having to login to TTY to start it
[09:13] <youkilldkennedy> Tiplet: Mind taking a look at the new pastebin? I pasted the wrong stuff earlier. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6525/
[09:13] <seamus7> Slart: yeah it's frustrating .... hmmm nvidia huh? I'm on ATI ... I've read that Nvidia cards are much easier than ATI to work with in Ubuntu
[09:13] <solid_liq> Kaso: run:   which firefox
[09:13] <Slart> seamus7: but I think my system hangs before x even starts, so I don't think I can blame X
[09:13] <Tiplet> youkilldkennedy: Looked already, don't know what to make of it. :\
[09:13] <bwilson> I just removed apache2 and apache and for some reason in the init.d folder there is apache and apache 2.  Why?
[09:13] <youkilldkennedy> Tiplet: Oh, okay.
[09:13] <whiz2_> i take it no one knows?
[09:14] <Kaso> solid_liq, /usr/bin/firefox
[09:14] <kraut> moin
[09:14] <senectus> is there any way to force apt to upgrade from CDROM _ONLY_ ? (from dapper to edgy)
[09:14] <seamus7> Slart: yeah i dunno really.. I'm hoping some linux guru here will look at my logs...
[09:14] <Deaglebear> hello is am getting this error can someone help me?
[09:14] <Deaglebear> E: Type 'deb' is not known on line 36 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:14] <Deaglebear> E: Unable to lock the list directory
[09:14] <Slart> seamus7: well.. I haven't tried ATI on linux.. but the nvidia card is pretty easy, driver installation is a no brainer.. nvidia supplies a install script tha tbuilds kernel modules, edits xorg.conf and everything
[09:14] <Flannel> senectus: sure, remove all non CDrom stuff from your repository (well, comment them)
[09:14] <Tiplet> whiz2_: You sure apache(2) were meta-packages?
[09:14] <solid_liq> Kaso: have you tried running firefox from the shell?
[09:14] <seamus7> Any linux guru willing to look at a few of my log files here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6523/   my system is freezing half the time on boot up.
[09:15] <Tiplet> dpkg -l | grep apache
[09:15] <whiz2_> huh?
[09:15] <whiz2_> I'm not running apache(2)
[09:15] <Kaso> Umm, just running "firefox" seems to give me the exact same results
[09:15] <seamus7> Slart: Nvidia is what I'll go with on my next computer ... this one was a surprise gift so I had no say.
[09:15] <Frogzoo> Deaglebear: looks like a syntax error in your sources.list
[09:15] <senectus> Flannel, thats what I thought, and have done that, but it won't "upgrade" off that CDROM
[09:15] <Tiplet> I meant either package: apache/apache2.
[09:15] <kazuka> hey
[09:16] <Deaglebear> ok so how can i change that line to remove the quotes
[09:16] <whiz2_> I'm not running apache at all
[09:16] <Flannel> senectus: which CD are you using?  Desktop or alternate?
[09:16] <dromer> hmm, I have a pc running blackbox, and the scrollwhel of the mouse doesn't work. the middle-mouse-button does, but I can't scroll with it. if I use synergy with the mouse of another pc however I can scroll. how can I make the scroll work on this pc?
[09:16] <Frogzoo> Deaglebear: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.au
[09:16] <Frogzoo> Deaglebear: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:16] <senectus> Flannel, desktop
[09:16] <Tiplet> whiz2_: Wrong person, damn tab completion for nicks. XD
[09:17] <Deaglebear> which one do i use?
[09:17] <whiz2_> lol
[09:17] <whiz2_> is ok
[09:17] <Flannel> senectus: that's why.  Only the alternate CD is a repository, the DesktopCD has a diminuitive repository on it (with just bare essentials commonly required for internet, build-essential, ndiswrapper, etc)
[09:17] <Frogzoo> Deaglebear: 1st one was typo
[09:17] <Crypticfortune> holy crap! might have a solution to my non-booting kernel! boot with pci=nommconf
[09:17] <Deaglebear> ok ty oner sec while i do thatlol
[09:18] <senectus> Flannel, awww crap, what size is the alternate cd to download?
[09:18] <Deaglebear> sudo: gedit: command not found
[09:18] <Crypticfortune> i dont even know what that means, but there's a funky ubuntu logo on my screen and a scrolling bar thing, so i assume its working
[09:18] <Flannel> senectus: about the same as the desktop, ~700mb
[09:18] <Flannel> Deaglebear: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:18] <Flannel> Deaglebear: and, ^ is "ctrl", for the shortcuts
[09:18] <senectus> Flannel, ok thanks, I'll go find it now
[09:18] <Flannel> senectus: same place as the desktop CDs ;)
[09:19] <whiz2_> I still need some help
[09:20] <mackinac> it's not because sources.list is looking for dapper cd rom?
[09:21] <Flannel> mackinac: presumably, when he did "apt-cdrom add", he had the edgy CD in the drive, and that was added
[09:21] <mackinac> ahhh :)
[09:21] <seamus7> Hello all ... anyone available to scan my log files at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6523/   ... my system is freezing on boot up half the time.
[09:22] <bwilson> I uninstalled apache2 and then removed the init.d file and when i reinstalled apache, the init file wasnt there.  how do i get it back?
[09:22] <Deaglebear> ok now that that is fixed i was trying to get automatix in which as u can tell i messed up i tried to do it how they told me to on the website and it did not work any ideas?
[09:22] <Crypticfortune> ooo so close. once the funky ubuntu logo disapeared, the system just hangs... =(
[09:22] <mindstate> ive been trying to use fglrx to enable 3d rendering, but i cant seem to get X to start up with it loaded, ive tried both ubuntu and manual installs and i have a ATI Radeon 7000/VE..any help?
[09:22] <brokenarrowLinux> how do i configurethis computer to get my sound working?
[09:23] <rpc> ls *.txt|grep crap <---how do i make it so only filename is displayed and not extension?
[09:23] <sdfwt54rg> DCC SEND AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
[09:23] <Kaso> How did that work then?
[09:24] <mackinac> :o
[09:24] <Kaso> ooh, mirc buffer overflow
[09:24] <Flannel> skreet, brent, pilgrim, paras, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixDCCExploit before youre banned
[09:24] <Flannel> Kaso: no, overzealous routers
[09:24] <whiz2_> can someone tell me how to make a script that logs in as a user, runs a program, then logs out?
[09:24] <pilgrim> Flannel, what did I do?
[09:24] <Deaglebear> !automatix
[09:24] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[09:24] <Kaso> hmm
[09:25] <ndlovu> the gnome Power Manager applet doesn't seem to be getting updated information from the hardware (BIOS?). It only seems to get read at startup, but not again. Is there some way to try and communicate with the hardware directly so I can isolate the problem?
[09:25] <Flannel> !exploit | pilgrim
[09:25] <ubotu> pilgrim: There are people around who think it is funny to abuse a bug in certain routers by sending invalid DCC commands. When bitten by this bug ops in #ubuntu remove users so they are no longer targets. To fix it have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixDCCExploit
[09:25] <whiz2_> automatrix is not what I wantd
[09:25] <whiz2_> automatix*
[09:25] <mindstate> ive been trying to use fglrx to enable 3d rendering, but i cant seem to get X to start up with it loaded, ive tried both ubuntu and manual installs and i have a ATI Radeon 7000/VE..any help?
[09:25] <Deaglebear> thats what i wanted
[09:25] <pilgrim> Flannel, should I just leave #ubuntu till I fix this thing?
[09:26] <darkstar> Hi. Should I then remove automatix from my /apt/sources.list ?
[09:26] <pilgrim> mneptok, ok, ok. leaving..
[09:27] <mneptok> pilgrim: do you use this same nick elsewhere?
[09:27] <pilgrim> yeah
[09:27] <mneptok> (i.e. EF?)
[09:27] <Frogzoo> whiz2_: su USERNAME -c COMMAND
[09:27] <pilgrim> mneptok, oh, no, no other networks
[09:27] <seamus7> Any linux gurus here willing to look at my Xorg.0.log and other logs at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6523/  ?  My system is freezing on bootup half the time.
[09:27] <mneptok> pilgrim: ah, ok.
[09:27] <pilgrim> or servers rather
[09:28] <misterfamous> how do I access windows drives from a dual boot install?
[09:28] <darkstar> HI, can anyone suggest me a fast french mirror from which I can dld Feisty DVD?
[09:28] <Flannel> pilgrim: it's a simple fix, no big deal
[09:28] <Flannel> darkstar: #ubuntu+1 for feisty support
[09:28] <darkstar> Flannel, THANKs
[09:28] <mneptok> pilgrim: if you're in here, my guess is that you have worked around the problem (maybe by connecting to 8001)
[09:29] <shapras> hello
[09:29] <Deaglebear> can sum1 help me install automatix or tell me y i shouldnt
[09:29] <pilgrim> mneptok, nope.
[09:29] <Flannel> Deaglebear: don't.  Because its dangerous.
[09:29] <pilgrim> mneptok, just fixed it now. gonna reconnect and should be good to go
[09:29] <youkilldkennedy> Tiplet: I found out why it was crashing... I feel like a moron now.
[09:30] <seamus7> misterfamous: my windows partition automatically mounts when I enter Ubuntu ... you may have to add a mount point entry in /etc/fstab
[09:30] <Flannel> !ntfs | mneptok
[09:30] <ubotu> mneptok: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[09:30] <mneptok> Deaglebear: Automatix is extremely dangerous. you will find no sympathy if it leaves your machine unusable.
[09:30] <Flannel> ack, misterfamous, that was for you.
[09:30] <Slart> Deaglebear: it sometimes work and sometimes it just damages your system beyond repair.. but hey.. if you like reinstalling.. go ahead =)
[09:30] <Crypticfortune> question: on the ubuntu install boot screen, the green text that says what's loading and stuff shouldnt be like scattered half-way across the screen and partially doubled, right? what's wrong with that?
[09:31] <mneptok> Crypticfortune: messed up framebuffer probe. use nosplash.
[09:31] <misterfamous> thanks
[09:32] <Skuller> hey guys...anyone available here to help me out in getting the APC ups driver to work?..."apcupsd"
[09:32] <Crypticfortune> mneptok: ok thanks. i'll try that next time it crashes =(
[09:33] <pilgrim> When I click on anyhelp link (from yelp) I get the link opened in firefox and then there is a parser error: XML Parsing Error: not well-formed ...this only happens for one username...how do I fix it?
[09:33] <seamus7> This is probably an easy one (just not for me) ... something is freezing up my system on boot up half the time ... anyone available to scan my log files for obvious problems at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6523/   ???
[09:34] <_Rappy_> what's the startup file for x called?
[09:34] <rryan> seamus7: I took a look, but can't really think of anything. do you have any more information? was it ever stable? what changed ?
[09:34] <rryan> seamus7: and are those logs from a crash bootup or a healthy bootup?
[09:35] <Flannel> pilgrim: sounds like some config file for that user is messed up
[09:35] <bwilson> How can I reinstall the apache init.d file?
[09:35] <pilgrim> Flannel, yeah....I did delete .yelp altogether too
[09:35] <pilgrim> Flannel, don't know what else to delete
[09:35] <Flannel> bwilson: your problem is you have two apaches listening (or trying) on the same port, which is why you can't start the one youre trying to
[09:36] <seamus7> rryan: I just reinstalled Edgy a couple days ago ... it was stable before the reinstall but that was on the 2.6.16-10 kernel ... my reinstall used the 2.6.17-11 kernel .... I'm on Edgy with XGL/Beryl on an ATI Radeon Mobile X1300 ... as you probably noticed . :)
[09:36] <bwilson> Flannel: How can I fix that?
[09:36] <Flannel> pilgrim: I don't either.  ~/.firefox should... Er, actually, I don't know where FF stores it's config, might be ~/.mozilla/firefox for all I know
[09:36] <Flannel> bwilson: stop apache2 (sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop) then start apache (sudo /etc/init.d/apache start)
[09:36] <pilgrim> Flannel, I think it's the latter
[09:36] <_Rappy_> it is Flannel
[09:37] <Flannel> bwilson: but, ultimately, you probably want to remove the one you don't use
[09:37] <seamus7> rryan: the Xorg.0.log is from a healthy boot up .... the xorg.conf is static ... and the /var/log/messages contains messages over multiple sessions i believe
[09:37] <Crypticfortune> Flannel, bwilson: alternatively sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 resart ;)
[09:37] <Flannel> Crypticfortune: no, he's stopping apache2 and starting apache
[09:37] <Crypticfortune> Flannel, bwilson: sorry: resart -> restart (typo)
[09:37] <bwilson> Flannel:  But i deleted my init.d file and I dont know how to ge it back
[09:37] <Crypticfortune> Flannel: oh ok i didnt notice. sorry
[09:37] <kazuka> woot
[09:38] <rylan> i need a QQ client. its a back asswards chinese messenger program
[09:38] <Flannel> bwilson: well, that was silly.  Uh, you'll need to reinstall the package that put it there.
[09:38] <seamus7> rryan: i could reboot until it freezes again and then go into recovery mode and get my xorg.0.log that way ... should have done that already :(
[09:38] <bwilson> Flannel:  I tried reinstalling the package but it doesnt put the init.d file back
[09:38] <Flannel> bwilson: "apache" provides it
[09:39] <rryan> seamus7: hmm. odd.. so the only things you've done since installing it was install fglrx and beryl ?
[09:39] <bwilson> Flannel:  I did:   apt-get remove apache2  && apt-get install apache2.   the init.d file is still isn't there?
[09:39] <Flannel> bwilson: "apache2" is not "apache"  Are we reinstalling apache? or apache2?
[09:39] <bwilson> Flannel:  Apache2  Sorry
[09:39] <rryan> seamus7: if so .. I would try changing xorg.conf to use the open source ATI drivers instead of fglrx and see if that changes things at all
[09:40] <Flannel> bwilson: for apache2, the package is "apache2-common"
[09:40] <ndlovu> any idea where to query the current battery state?  I tried 'cat /proc/acpi/battery/C1B5/state', which does not seem to be updating.
[09:40] <seamus7> rryan: hee hee ... no .. i have pretty much got my system back to the way I want it as far as packages... gkrellm and such
[09:40] <bwilson> Flannel:  so apt-get install apache2-common?
[09:40] <seamus7> rryan: i don't think ATI radeon x1300 is supporter
[09:40] <kazuka> limewire is a hog
[09:40] <seamus7> rryan : by the open source that is
[09:41] <kazuka> sorry i mean java
[09:41] <Flannel> bwilson: no, sudo apt-get --reinstall install apache2-common
[09:42] <ZorglubZ> is it just me, or is there no feasible way to force Dapper Drake to a specific DNS server? Been using my dear friend Google the last 3 hours.. :P
[09:42] <seamus7> rryan: thanks for your help :)
[09:42] <bwilson> Flannel:  Still no init.d file
[09:42] <coNP> ZorglubZ: what about /etc/resolv.conf
[09:42] <Flannel> bwilson: then sure, remove it (with --purge!) then reinstall it
[09:42] <rryan> seamus7: hmm.  no prob... just trying to think of what the problem could be..
[09:42] <Flannel> bwilson: the --purge flag is an important one
[09:43] <ZorglubZ> it resets too, coNP
[09:43] <rryan> seamus7: it'd be helpful to see where your logfiles end on a crash bootup
[09:43] <ZorglubZ> edited, saved, 2 mins later it's back to the old IP'
[09:44] <Crypticfortune> ok, "buffer I/O error on device sr0 ... " while booting from the install cd might mean that the cd is bad?
[09:44] <coNP> ZorglubZ: then I guess you have the resolvconf package installed (can you confirm this?)
[09:44] <seamus7> rryan: ok i'll do that now quickly
[09:44] <coNP> ZorglubZ: you should edit its configuration files in /etc/resolvconf/
[09:44] <BHSPitLappy> what the heck
[09:44] <BHSPitLappy> is ubuntu.com down?
[09:44] <GazzaK> BHSPitLappy, nope
[09:44] <Crypticfortune> i'll try burning another cd, but i have a hunch that the drivers it loaded right before the cd errors might have broken the cd support. namely the usb drivers. anyone know how to work around that?
[09:45] <BHSPitLappy> GazzaK, stupid ISP's acting up then.
[09:45] <bwilson> Flannel:  that worked.  thank you much!
[09:45] <mvfeinstein> Can anyone here help me get wireless working on a MacBook running Ubuntu 7.04?
[09:45] <zoidberg> hey guys
[09:45] <zoidberg> how do u enable direct rendering on a video card on ubuntu
[09:45] <brokenarrowLinux> qestion: as some one completely new to Linux; im geting no sound, from either headphones or speakers, so how can i set up the computer to get sound
[09:45] <ZorglubZ> resolvconf is NOT installed (says synaptic)
[09:45] <zoidberg> i have an ATI rage on a g3 powerbook
[09:45] <zoidberg> how can i enable direct rendering
[09:46] <Flannel> !sound | brokenarrowLinux
[09:46] <ubotu> brokenarrowLinux: 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
[09:46] <zoidberg> can anyone help me
[09:47] <coNP> ZorglubZ: do you have any DNS-related entries in your /etc/network/interfaces?
[09:47] <zoidberg> can anyone help me?
[09:48] <zoidberg> i'm trying to enable direct rendering on my video card?
[09:48] <ZorglubZ> coNP: none; when I put them in they disappear
[09:49] <coNP> ZorglubZ: oh, that might be some autoconfiguration issue; no idea what that can do, though
[09:49] <ZorglubZ> heh... something that's there to stop me doing something stupid, you mean? :p
[09:50] <coNP> ZorglubZ: kind of :)
[09:51] <mvfeinstein> Can anyone help me, I am trying to get wireless working on a macbook. I installed madwifi which according to a few things I have read online should make it work but I still cant get wlan0 or ath0 to come up.
[09:52] <ZorglubZ> coNP: the thing is, I'm on DHCP behind a ICS gateway, and the DNS server addy resets to the gateway every other minute... only way I can google (and connect, like here) is to change the DNS addy every 2-3 mins...
[09:54] <daveR> hi, do i need an antivirus, spyware on ubuntu? if so can anyone recommend one?
[09:54] <coNP> !virus | daveR
[09:54] <DarthLappy> daveR: No you don't.
[09:54] <ubotu> daveR: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[09:55] <coNP> ZorglubZ: then I think everything should be configured in you DHCP server
[09:55] <daveR> ok, kwl.  i won't bother then :)
[09:56] <pixel5011> Alloha!!!
[09:56] <llama32> i've been using pppconfig/pon for dialup; is there a way to see the connection speed?
[09:56] <ERWER> hi
[09:56] <ERWER> can i get some help
[09:56] <ERWER> ?
[09:57] <ERWER> i need to install drivers for radeon
[09:57] <coNP> llama32: maybe if you write ifconfig ppp0 in a terminal window
[09:57] <yomm> !radeon |ERWER
[09:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about radeon - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:57] <yomm> !ati |ERWER
[09:57] <ubotu> ERWER: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:57] <ERWER> tnx
[09:57] <ERWER> but I already look the forums and the net
[09:58] <llama32> coNP: nah, tried that
[09:58] <ERWER> i would ask you for help if i found the solution there :)
[10:00] <coNP> llama32: did that work?
[10:00] <ERWER> nope
[10:01] <ZorglubZ> coNP: the DHCP server is a WinExPee box...
[10:01] <entropy_> hello
[10:01] <deep> Hi. ^^
[10:01] <coNP> ZorglubZ: that is a pity, but should also be configured :)
[10:01] <Taime1> high!
[10:01] <ndlovu> okay, acpi doesn't seem to be getting updated information about my battery. Any idea what is the mechanism for checking - is is 'acpid' or what?
[10:02] <entropy_> i'm having a bit of trouble with mounting my usb pendrive could anyone help me
[10:02] <entropy_> its really weird and i've never had this trouble before
[10:03] <ZorglubZ> coNP: I've tried, it doesn't want to act as a DNS server on the local 'net :(
[10:03] <ndlovu> restarting acpid and acpi-support still not sorting out the problem :(
[10:04] <entropy_> usually when i plug in my pendrive it will automatically mount with permissions 755 under group "plugdev" and since my user is in group plugdev i would just be able to use it normally
[10:05] <entropy_> right now when i plug it in it is not automatically mounted, that doesnt really matter
[10:05] <patri> olaaa
[10:05] <coNP> ZorglubZ: are you sure it does not add any DNS information to DHCP queries?
[10:05] <entropy_> i just sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1
[10:05] <seamus7> rryan: When I went into recovery mode I got the following BUG: Soft Lockup detected on CPU#0!   (I had forgotten about that but its appeared before and I was able to find a patch somewhere)
[10:06] <entropy_> now the problem is that it mounts with permissions where i cant write to it and i cant change them
[10:06] <ubnutuhelp> many people around?
[10:06] <Frogzoo> entropy_: tail -f /var/log/messages   & plugin the drive
[10:06] <ubnutuhelp> got a problem with my RAID array :(
[10:07] <Frogzoo> entropy_: has this worked under your current install previously?
[10:07] <entropy_> well yes
[10:07] <ChaosEddie> entropy_: nice nick
[10:07] <Crypticfortune> question. im trying to install ubuntu onto an hp dx7300 (its an intel core 2 duo box). once the USB driver loads, the cd /dev/sr0 stops working and i get a bunch of "buffer i/o error on device sr0" errors. anyone got any ideas?

[10:08] <mattdwilnew> but i would lose it when i restarted
[10:08] <mattdwilnew> so i did something stupid and now it wont startup again :(
[10:09] <entropy_> ChaosEddie, thanks
[10:09] <mattdwilnew> I am using MDADM, but i installed DMRAID before i used MDADM, so i uninstalled DMRAID in case there was clashes
[10:09] <mattdwilnew> now it won't create
[10:09] <entropy_> Frogzoo, http://www.nomorepasting.com/paste.php?pasteID=74505
[10:10] <yomm> matt , which version of mdadm are you using ?
[10:10] <mattdwilnew> the latest one i think, ill check
[10:10] <ChaosEddie> entropy_: you'd be surprise how many people don't understand the word or think quantum physics is fascinating. well at least I am.
[10:10] <entropy_> what is really annoying is that i cant change the owner, the group owner and i cant add write permissions to either the group or others
[10:10] <entropy_> hehe.... i know

[10:12] <mattdwilnew> thanks man :(
[10:12] <mattdwilnew> :)
[10:12] <mattdwilnew> I even tried to force it and its still a no go
[10:12] <mattdwilnew> anyone know of anything that will assemble the raid so i can at least get my data off it?
[10:13] <mattdwilnew> its only got like 30-40 gig on it
[10:13] <rpc> ls *.txt|grep crap <---how do i make it so only filename is displayed and not extension?
[10:14] <kazuka> lol
[10:14] <kazuka> hmmm
[10:16] <sha256sum> whatup guys... hey, I'm having trouble with ohci1394, which seems common, but the kernel options "acpi=off" and "nofirewire" (and both together) are doing nothing to disable it.  It's detecting as PCI, but I don't have a firewire interface on my computer, and would be ecstatic if there were a way to disable it so I can boot.  Is there a way to disable it?
[10:17] <yomm> matt : is there crucial data on your array ?

[10:18] <z> Is there a linux alternative software to schoolhouse on mac....i mean software that does planning, school assignements tracking and stuff
[10:19] <rylan> hey, i am installing EVA messenger but when i go through the install instructions .config it the way they want, when i run "make" it says"make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
[10:19] <rylan> "
[10:19] <Frogzoo> entropy_: are you using suspend?
[10:19] <premier_> hello. Im using kubuntu, and today I installed gnome ("ubuntu-desktop") to try it out, and Ive been having a lot of trouble
[10:19] <premier_> firstly, something crashes on start up.  Can I pastebin some errors?
[10:20] <z> Is there a school assignment tracking software for l inux
[10:20] <ChaosEddie> premier_: of course
[10:21] <yomm> premier : shoot
[10:21] <mattdwilnew> yomm: yeah
[10:21] <entropy_> Frogzoo, i dont know what that is
 i use a software called mynoteit (mynoteit.com) that is web based
[10:21] <mattdwilnew> yomm: got a few days worth of data on there
[10:21] <ChaosEddie> not linux based
[10:21] <yomm> have you tried reinstalling mdadm & rebooting ?
[10:21] <mattdwilnew> yomm: (i am at work, and its their server)
[10:21] <rylan> hey, i am installing EVA messenger but when i go through the install instructions .config it the way they want, when i run "make" it says"make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
[10:21] <z> ChaosEddie: thanks but i would prefer something thats not webbased
[10:22] <premier_> http://pastebin.ca/363313
[10:22] <entropy_> Frogzoo, i have this suspicion that if i reboot it will work just fine(since it was working yesterday and all i did was leave it on all night downloading stuff while the usb was attached)
[10:22] <entropy_> but i dont want to reboot
[10:22] <entropy_> i would like to be able to fix this withotu doing that
[10:22] <entropy_> s/withotu/without/
[10:22] <z> Is there a school assignment tracking software for linux that is not webased
[10:23] <mattdwilnew> yomm: no i havn't - for some reason my /dev/sdd1 comes up twice, once as a 1000gig partition and the raid member
[10:23] <mattdwilnew> (when i try to create)
[10:23] <yomm> matt :

[10:24] <yomm> matt : could it be that there are 2 superblock descriptions on your array  ?
[10:24] <premier_> How do I do things like turn off icons on the desktop, or change the panel (taskbar?) settings, or is that what crashed on startup?
[10:24] <Flannel> z: I believe people use evolution
[10:24] <z> Need a school planner, assignment tracking type of software that is not web based   can any one help
[10:24] <mattdwilnew> yomm: it could be possible, how could i check that?
[10:24] <z> Flannel: really, i thought that was a mail thing
 im pretty sure edubuntu has a program or two, you're looking for ... what exactly?
[10:25] <ChaosEddie> i dont quite understand
[10:25] <Frogzoo> cyphase: tried booting with 'pci=nommconf' ?
[10:25] <z> ChaosEddie: schoolhouse type thing....look up school house and youl see waht i mean....its sort of an agenda to keep track of what is going on , whats due when, adding notes to things and such
[10:25] <yomm> matt : I once had a conflict where the older version of mdadm created an array , and then when i booted in newer os the newer mdadm didn't recognize the old , and created new superblocks , leaving me with an unusable array
[10:26] <mattdwilnew> yomm: how did ya fix it?
[10:26] <yomm> matt : I'm no expert , but the mdadm manual has a section on superblock
[10:26] <entropy_> Frogzoo, thanks for your help, its fixed now
[10:26] <ChaosEddie> ahhh yes i see
[10:26] <Frogzoo> Crypticfortune: tried booting with 'pci=nommconf' ?   https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/66546
[10:26] <Flannel> z: it's a calendar thing, and an email thing
[10:26] <mattdwilnew> yomm: you might be onto something there :)
[10:26] <Frogzoo> entropy_: cool
[10:26] <yomm> matt : there was no ( crucial ) data on my array then , so i reformatted ...
[10:26] <ChaosEddie> i think edubuntu has a few programs for such a purpose
[10:26] <ChaosEddie> but i duno too much
[10:27] <yomm> matt : it's no solution , but maybe you're a bit closer to the problem :)
[10:27] <premier_> Im looking in the system menu, and there isnt anything like a theme manager or a color settings manager, or panel editor
[10:27] <Crypticfortune> Frogzoo: yeah, i saw that page. it dies immediately on "loading kernel" if i dont include pci=nommconf
[10:27] <z> Flannel: hmm, il give it a go, but i was more looking for a notes taker, like i have a heading and i have notes under the heading to keep me reminded of what that topic was all about and such
[10:28] <yomm> matt : I  was just thinkg cos you said u used other raid tools , that would be a good place to start looking  i suspect !
[10:28] <z> ChaosEddie: thanks anyway
[10:28] <mattdwilnew> yeah thanks for your help :) that might be why my sda1 "is too small"
[10:28] <yomm> matt : what does $ mdadm --detail /dev/YOURMD   give you ?
[10:29] <yomm> might have to sudo that ;)
[10:29] <egon> hi all
[10:30] <Flannel> z: ah, for notes.  yeah, there are a bunch.  desktop wiki sorts fo thigns
[10:30] <Flannel> z: check out 'zim'
[10:30] <ndlovu> apparently (http://home.no/slazz/nx7400/#badstate) my acpi problem might be caused by not unloading the psmouse module before shutdown. The recommendation is to add 'modprobe -r psmouse' to init.d/halt and other shutdown scripts. Is this a good idea, and if so, where should it be added in the script?
[10:30] <Flannel> z: or tomboy
[10:31] <Frogzoo> ndlovu: can't you just add the module in /etc/default/acpi-support ?
[10:31] <egon> help.ubuntu.com seams not working, so I ask here: is there a good FAQ about instaling Wi-Fi cards on Ubuntu?
[10:32] <Flannel> egon: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs  ;)
[10:32] <Frogzoo> !wifi | egon
[10:32] <ubotu> egon: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[10:32] <ndlovu> Frogzoo, er, dunno - what does /etc/default/acpi-support do?

[10:32] <egon> like i sad it: help.ubuntu.com not working
[10:32] <ChaosEddie> daveR: type? model? etc?
[10:33] <Frogzoo> egon: lies
[10:33] <ERWER> hi
[10:33] <ERWER> again
[10:33] <egon> "Unexpected response from server"
[10:34] <Flannel> egon: works here.  Maybe it's a DNS issue?  try 82.211.81.234
[10:34] <daveR> bit of a no brand.  Its a tevion (german brand).  not sure of the model.
[10:34] <daveR> not much help, i know
[10:34] <ChaosEddie> try googling their website for linux drivers?
[10:34] <ERWER> can i get help with instaling drivers for ati
[10:34] <Frogzoo> egon: broken at your end
[10:34] <ChaosEddie> im not too good with hardware...
[10:34] <Frogzoo> ERWER: which vid card?
[10:35] <ERWER> ATI Radeon X600
[10:35] <ERWER> i cant get the drivers
[10:35] <egon> Frogzoo: how come? I have internet connection and I can se other sites
[10:35] <ndlovu> Frogzoo, ah, okay. I can try that. The problem is that the modules should (apparently) be removed before shutdown, not just suspend or hibernate, so not sure it will work.
[10:35] <daveR> ChaosEddie: is there any general softwares or drivers i can try for a general scanners?
[10:35] <Frogzoo> ERWER: check the docs - I think fglrx should run with that

[10:35] <ubotu> ERWER: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto

[10:41] <ndlovu> Frogzoo, thanks
[10:41] <daveR> ERWER: if you are trying to install an ati or nvidia software, try this: http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[10:41] <Frogzoo> ERWER: which distro you running?
[10:41] <Flannel> ERWER: that's... not good.  What version are you on?
[10:41] <mattdwilnew> yomm: sorry for slow reply, it says permission denied

[10:41] <ERWER> aha
[10:41] <ERWER> how do i get sourec list
[10:41] <Flannel> ERWER: it's /etc/apt/sources.list

[10:41] <ERWER> i got it
[10:41] <ERWER> where do i past it

[10:41] <KRASHER> Hey guys, anyone can help me... i installed Beryl and got all the eye candy... except the CUBE... :(
[10:41] <mattdwilnew> i have 2 terminals open
[10:41] <Flannel> KRASHER: #ubuntu-effects for beryl support
[10:41] <yomm> matt : also I think its a bad idea mixing raid tools on active arrays :)
[10:41] <mattdwilnew> got a little confused...its been a long day :( (the network ip assigning and internet died today too)
[10:41] <Frogzoo> KRASHER: -> #ubuntu-effects
[10:41] <KRASHER> thanks flannel and Frogzoo
[10:41] <mattdwilnew> yeah i thought so too, thus why i deleted it - iw as trying anything to get it going and once it was going i kinda forgot about it
[10:41] <mattdwilnew> yomm: md0 is not active
[10:41] <ERWER> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6530/ this is the source list
[10:41] <scotch> hi
[10:41] <ERWER> my source list
[10:41] <mattdwilnew> and normally i would just run the create command
[10:41] <mattdwilnew> to get it going again
[10:41] <yomm> matt : the good thing is : your data is not lost !
[10:41] <mattdwilnew> (been using linux for a couple of weeks)
[10:41] <mattdwilnew> woot!
[10:41] <yomm> matt : the bad thing is , i'm outta ideas :)
[10:41] <mattdwilnew> lol :)
[10:42] <mattdwilnew> thanks!
[10:42] <mattdwilnew> know much about /proc/partitions?
[10:42] <mattdwilnew> mines empty
[10:42] <ZorglubZ> coNP: I got it resolved... by INSTALLING resolvconf ;)
[10:42] <ZorglubZ> so ty for the tip :D
[10:42] <scotch> my ubuntu won't boot, if there are UUID entry in the menu.lst, any ideas ? (booting with /dev/sda works)
[10:48] <yomm> matt : mdadm also does a SCAN command whereas it scans for prevously created arrays
[10:48] <premier_> how do I configure screensavers?
[10:48] <Flannel> ERWER: er, ... Well, that should work.  Except the automatix part everything looks good.
[10:48] <Frogzoo> scotch: correct UUID? check with blkid
[10:48] <yomm> matt : mind you , take extreme caution with everything you do on the array and DO read the manual properly , otherwire you might be left with irrecoverable data !
[10:48] <mattdwilnew> yomm: i dont have any arrays listed in my mdadm.conf so when it scans it says it can't
[10:48] <coNP> ZorglubZ: yw, I am happy now  :)
[10:48] <mattdwilnew> (even though i did add it in!: |)
[10:48] <yomm> i c !
[10:48] <Flannel> ERWER: and, the automatix may very well be your problem.  It's a dangerous program.
[10:48] <yomm> matt : there are some more reassemble options in the manual , have you seen them ?

[11:03] <CrakeHunter> hello, just for my understandings: LVM equals softraid ; so if i install ubuntu with lvm , my 2 harddiscs work on parallel?
[11:04] <Frogzoo> CrakeHunter: no LVM is not raid - it's a file system virtualisation layer that sits on top of raid - it's purely for convenience
[11:04] <daviey> CrakeHunter, hmm no, it's to make BIG hd's  ie 20gig+20gig = 40gig AFAIK
[11:04] <Frogzoo> !raid | CrakeHunter
[11:04] <ubotu> CrakeHunter: 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
[11:06] <ardchoille> I'm confused about something. If I want to add a new user to the system some folks tell me to use adduser and others say to use useradd. Which is it?
[11:06] <SoulChild> !kernel
[11:06] <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
[11:06] <mackinac> !adduser
[11:06] <ubotu> To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo
[11:07] <ardchoille> !useradd
[11:07] <daviey> ardchoille, useradd
[11:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about useradd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:07] <ardchoille> Some people sa adduser, some people say userad
[11:07] <daviey> ardchoille, adduser - adds users to groups.  For more info user 'man adduser'
[11:08] <mattdwilnew> yomm: i did an examine on /dev/sda1 and there is no superblock!
[11:08] <ardchoille> daviey: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands says "Adding A New User: "adduser newuser" command will create a new general user called "newuser" on your system"
[11:08] <daviey> ardchoille, Sorry i was mistaken
[11:08] <ramvi> I want firefox to use mplayer instead of totem. How do I do that? I've got mozilla-mplayer installed
[11:08] <SoulChild> hey guys, i have this strange problem, that i have no sound if i plugg in headphones on my notebook, headphones work and sound works also without headphones but when plugged in everything is muted, please help
[11:09] <ardchoille> daviey: Both man pages for adduser and useradd say "add a user to the system". This is why I am confused.
[11:09] <mattdwilnew> yomm: i did an examine on /dev/sdd1 and the first device instead of /dev/sda1 is has /dev/.static/dev/sda1
[11:09] <mattdwilnew> any ideas?
[11:09] <CrakeHunter> Frogzoo, you article is about hardware raid; Ive heard that there is some software raid integration in Ubuntu. where? and how do i install it?
[11:09] <scarpitch> When I install "Wine" from the Terminal, where does it go? And how do I execute it?
[11:09] <yomm> matt : a sec ..
[11:10] <martin80> scarpitch simply type wine to execute
[11:10] <Crypticfortune> so it seems that the kernel on the ubuntu cd will not work for me. any way to get ubuntu going under a different kernel? (Slax 4.01 successfully boots)
[11:10] <martin80> e.g. wine programname
[11:11] <Crypticfortune> er rather get the ubuntu installer going under a different kernel
[11:11] <yomm> matt : what does it say about the superblock in $ sudo mdadm --detail /dev/YOURMD   ?
[11:12] <mattdwilnew> mdadm: md device /dev/md0 does not appear to be active.
[11:12] <muh-die-kuh> will there be a possibility to install xorg 7.3 under 7.04?
[11:12] <mattdwilnew> i have tried activating in the past and it gives me an error
[11:13] <Flannel> muh-die-kuh: #ubuntu+1 for Feisty support, but feisty has 7.1.1
[11:13] <gb__> hi
[11:13] <gb__> hi flannel
[11:13] <muh-die-kuh> Flannel: okay, thanks
[11:13] <sewensins> hi @ all

[11:14] <ubotu> CrakeHunter: 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
[11:14] <scarpitch> martin80: yeah, but it says: "wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\program.exe": Module not found"
[11:14] <mattdwilnew> yomm: examine on md0 says there is no superblock
[11:14] <sewensins> can so help when it comes to questions regarding LTSP ?
[11:14] <gb__> anyone see my text
[11:14] <Flannel> scarpitch: I imagine you're supposed to replace that path with your own, since I don't belive 'program.exe' is a real program
[11:14] <scarpitch> yeah
[11:14] <gb__> i'm tesing new client
[11:14] <gb__> plz :)
[11:14] <Flannel> gb__: yep
[11:15] <gb__> ty flannel
[11:15] <mackinac> !hi | gb__
[11:15] <ubotu> gb__: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[11:15] <scarpitch> yeah, thats what I thought of as well.. But I have nooo idea how to :D
[11:15] <Flannel> scarpitch: nor do I.  You might ask in #winehq, that's the wine channel
[11:15] <scarpitch> k! thanx
[11:15] <gb__> what bout ,exe file
[11:15] <gb__> can i help?
[11:15] <gb__> hi scar
[11:16] <Frogzoo> CrakeHunter: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileServerOnLVMOnRAID1?highlight=%28raid%29
[11:16] <yomm> matt : as i said before , I'm nt an expert , but it seems that uninstalling the other raid tools wiped out your superblock description
[11:16] <gb__> guess not :)
[11:17] <detectiveinspekt> is it possible to setup a postfix server without a domain name, in otherwords just on a normal dsl connection?
[11:17] <mattdwilnew> yeah looks like it :(
[11:17] <sewensins> LTSP? i have just a simple question on the chroot... cos i just dont get what i need to enter into this file "/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/ltsp_chroot"
[11:17] <mattdwilnew> well at least i have something to go on
[11:17] <gb__> later guys
[11:17] <yaman> how do i know if my vga card driver is ryt and the vga card have the best drivers ???
[11:17] <yomm> so you need  mdadm to rebuild your array , without relying on the superblock
[11:18] <sewensins> ive tried several things ...like paths usernames and so on..none worked
[11:18] <yomm> matt : i believe there are options as well where you can specify wich disks you want to use for mdadm instead of having mdadm recignizing them automatically ( by superblock )
[11:18] <aflack> Question.
[11:19] <aflack> I'm getting this error: configure: error: *** GLIB >= 1.2.2 not installed - please install first *** when trying to install xmms.
[11:19] <aflack> Any idea how to fix it?
[11:19] <ardchoille> aflack: xmms is in the repos. Any reason you're not installing from the repos?
[11:19] <mneptok> aflack: how are you tring to install xmms?
[11:19] <ardchoille> !xmms
[11:19] <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
[11:20] <aflack> It's in the repository?..
[11:20] <aflack> For 5.10?
[11:20] <aflack> Breezy?
[11:20] <aflack> I tried searching for it in the pkg list..
[11:20] <aflack> Then downloaded the .gz file, and tried to ./configure
[11:21] <Flannel> aflack: why not just install xmms from the repos?
[11:21] <aflack> After gunzip, tar, blah blah.
[11:21] <yaman> need help here [11:21] <aflack> And it errored.
[11:21] <aflack> Flannel; How do you suppose I do that?
[11:21] <tomcatt> morning, ya'll
[11:21] <Flannel> aflack: apt-get install xmms?
[11:21] <aflack> Flannel; Look.
[11:22] <ardchoille> aflack: !info xmms Breezy
[11:22] <ardchoille> !info xmms Breezy

[11:22] <aflack> E: Package xmms has no installation candidate
[11:22] <Flannel> aflack: pastebin your sources.list, you must have something odd going on
[11:23] <aflack> Odd indeed.
[11:23] <tomcatt> what is a good mailling software that I can use that will let me import old mail from backed up files?
[11:23] <mneptok> tomcatt: what kind of files?
[11:23] <ardchoille> aflack: Unless you have a special need, there isn't much need to compile anyting in Ubuntu because the repos are huge.
[11:23] <aflack> I know.
[11:23] <mneptok> tomcatt: hint - "old mail files" is not a valid answer ;)
[11:24] <aflack> The thing is, none of the packages are showing up.
[11:24] <aflack> It's odd.
[11:24] <Flannel> aflack: pastebin your sources.list
[11:24] <aflack> Flannel; pastebin?
[11:25] <Flannel> !pastebin | aflack
[11:25] <ubotu> aflack: 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)
[11:25] <tomcatt> neptok:  for example, evolution files.  i'm trying to import all of my backups.  i had to reinstall
[11:25] <Tomcat_> tomcatt: Most mailing software uses standardized files, so it will work with most apps... but you'll have to answer mneptok's question anyway.
[11:25] <Tomcat_> tomcatt: Evolution uses "mbox", so all apps that can do mbox will be able to use that.
[11:26] <aflack> Thanks, Flannel.
[11:26] <aflack> Sec.
[11:26] <tomcatt> Tomcat_:  Dumb question:  Does Evolution store all of the mail in the "home/user" directory?
[11:26] <osrc_server_expe> Hello everyone
[11:26] <Tomcat_> tomcatt: Yes, it does.
[11:27] <osrc_server_expe> How can i playback amr files in ubuntu 6.10?
[11:27] <Tomcat_> tomcatt: Something like ~/.evolution/mail/local/<mailfolder>
[11:27] <mneptok> tomcatt: do you have a backup of your old home dir (including hidden files)?
[11:27] <ardchoille> tomcatt: Yes, in ~/.evolution/mail
[11:27] <Tarsinion1> How can i reset the gonme Keymanager. I can not save any passworts at the moment, cauz i have no access to the key manager ;-)
[11:28] <tomcatt> Tomcat_:  Okay, kewl.  I thought it was easy to import the mail, but it didn't work.
[11:28] <tomcatt> Tomcat_:  unless I need to just copy the files into the directory and then run it.
[11:29] <Tarsinion1> okay thanks, found the solution myself :)) just deleted the old one ;)
[11:29] <tomcatt> neptok:  Yes, I still have the files.
[11:29] <Tomcat_> tomcatt: I regularly need to get mails from my laptop to my workstation... I only take the "no extension" files from ~/.evolution/mail/local and copy them over... they appear in Evolution just fine.
[11:29] <aflack> Flannel; I think I may have fixed it.
[11:30] <aflack> The CD didn't install everything..
[11:30] <aflack> :|
[11:30] <CrakeHunter> thanks a lot guys, i now know how to create software raid 0 :) -
[11:30] <CrakeHunter> i would like to add one question: as ubuntu 6.10 is running quite unstable (lotsa unexpected program crashes) - how is stability  compared to 6.06.1 - is dapper generally  more stable than edgy?  i might chage to dapper then
[11:30] <aflack> I must've been using a screwy cd.
[11:30] <aflack> lol.
[11:30] <Flannel> aflack: er, this is a fresh install?
[11:30] <osrc_server_expe> How can i playback amr files in ubuntu 6.10?
[11:30] <aflack> Yeah.
[11:30] <Flannel> aflack: grab something newer (dapper), Breezy goes out of support in april
[11:30] <aflack> I like Breezy. :(
[11:30] <aflack> I've liked it for a while. :|
[11:30] <yomm> matt : can u pastebin the output of  "sudo mdadm --detail /dev/yourmd" ?
[11:30] <Flannel> aflack: Dapper is just like breezy, only with newer stuff
[11:30] <aflack> Is dapper basically the same?
[11:30] <aflack> Oh crap.
[11:31] <aflack> I need to get a disc then.
[11:31] <aflack> :D
[11:31] <Flannel> aflack: yeah, just newer versions, and Edgy, and Feisty (will be)
[11:31] <aflack> Which is best?
[11:31] <Flannel> aflack: Theyre all 'the same', just different ages
[11:31] <aflack> Edgy/Dapper?
[11:31] <aflack> Ah.
[11:31] <ardchoille> aflack: I have been using Ubuntu since Warty and Dapper ahs been the most rock-solid and problem -free release to date, IMHO.
[11:31] <aflack> Which is newest? Edgy?
[11:31] <Flannel> aflack: Dapper is a LTS, which is a bit important
[11:32] <mattdwilnew> yomm: sure
[11:32] <noiano> hello
[11:32] <Flannel> aflack: Edgy is 6.10, dapper is 6.06, Dapper is more mature, having been out four months longer, and will be supported longer too, being a LTS
[11:32] <aflack> Good deal, dude.
[11:32] <CrakeHunter> flannel, does that mean that 6.06.1 is more stable than 6.10?
[11:32] <tomcatt> Tomcat_:  So, all I need to do is just copy the old files into the directory?
[11:32] <detectiveinspekt> how do you search for packages via terminal?
[11:32] <aflack> I like Ubuntu waaaaaay better than slack. :\
[11:32] <aflack> Fortunately for me, I can come here and bug you all when I have a problem.
[11:32] <aflack> Harhar.
[11:32] <Flannel> CrakeHunter: 6.06.1 is 6.06, just an updated CD
[11:32] <noiano> I am running ubuntu on an old laptop (aged 4) and I can only use the touchpad...when I connect a ps2 mouse it doesn't work...
[11:32] <ardchoille> Flannel: I hope they put out another release like Dapper before 2009
[11:33] <Arcad3> guys i have a problem that can't be fixed
[11:33] <Tomcat_> tomcatt: Should work. Take good backups though, it's dangerous.
[11:33] <Flannel> ardchoille: I imagine 7.10 will be, that'll give people six months to think about upgrading, before Dapper goes out
[11:33] <aflack> Crap. Now it's giving a soundcard error.
[11:33] <ardchoille> Flannel: That would be cool.
[11:34] <Flannel> ardchoille: er, wait.  I guess dapper has until 9.04, doesn't it?
[11:34] <mattdwilnew> yomm: I don't know how to pastebin, working out command now
[11:34] <ardchoille> Flannel: Yeah
[11:34] <CrakeHunter> is there a german ubuntu channel around herE?
[11:34] <aflack> Aha, fixed it.
[11:34] <aflack> :D
[11:34] <Flannel> CrakeHunter: but yes, being out longer, it has more stable software

[11:37] <theejoo> they are all sleeping at ubuntu-nl
[11:37] <deep> hi ubuntu ;D
[11:38] <ardchoille> Arcad3: Where did you get virtualbox package?
[11:38] <Arcad3> softpedia
[11:38] <deep> ubuntu, are you using livecd, or something like that? (:
[11:38] <tomcatt> neptok:  You just reminded me of something;  I need to find a good app for backing up my system.
[11:38] <Flannel> !backup | tomcatt
[11:38] <ubotu> tomcatt: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning
[11:38] <ardchoille> Arcad3: Was it packages for Ubuntu or anohter distro like debian?
[11:38] <Arcad3> .deb
[11:39] <ardchoille> Arcad3: An Ubuntu .deb or a debian .deb?
[11:39] <Arcad3> debian
[11:39] <ardchoille> Arcad3: Ok, it's not a good idea to install debian packages on Ubuntu.
[11:39] <ardchoille> This may be the source of your problem.
[11:39] <Arcad3> how can i make apt to forget that package
[11:39] <mackinac> :o
[11:39] <tomcatt> Flannel:  Thanks
[11:39] <mackinac> ruh-roh!
[11:40] <Arcad3> should i erase something?
[11:40] <Arcad3> rm -rf / is a good idea?
[11:41] <ardchoille> Arcad3: No, not a good idea.
[11:41] <yomm> matt : not much useful in there :/
[11:41] <deep> Arcad3, haha, no, not really
[11:41] <aflack> Arcad3; That would be bad.
[11:41] <ardchoille> Arcad3: Perhaps uninstalling that debian package?
[11:41] <aflack> lol.
[11:41] <mattdwilnew> yomm: I could remove sda1, and maybe readd it
[11:41] <deep> haha ^^
[11:41] <Arcad3> apt-get remove virtualbox gives the same error
[11:41] <tomcatt> I hope one of these apps/ways can support multiple partitions.  I keep the system files on one and my home/user on another.  (In case anything goes wrong.)
[11:41] <Arcad3> aptitude autoclean ...the same
[11:42] <ardchoille> Arcad3: If you installed it with dpkg, then you need to remove it with dpkg.
[11:42] <noiano> I am running ubuntu on an old laptop (aged 4) and I can only use the touchpad...when I connect a ps2 mouse it doesn't work...any clues?
[11:42] <Arcad3> the archive does not exist
[11:42] <schwix_> Can someone msg me? I'm testing out a theme in irssi. :o
[11:43] <ardchoille> Arcad3: sudo dpkg -r vitualbox  ?
[11:43] <mneptok> tomcatt: rsync loves you
[11:43] <yomm> matt : did you read the assemble options thoroughly ? I'm sure there is an option where you can SELECT which disks to use for MDADM , rather than MDADM autorecognizing the disks via their superblock !
[11:43] <tomcatt> neptok:  LOL
[11:43] <Arcad3> isn't installed
[11:43] <mattdwilnew> yep tried that :) root@ubuntyserver:/dev/disk/by-uuid# mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 --auto=yes
[11:43] <mattdwilnew> mdadm: no recogniseable superblock
[11:43] <mattdwilnew> mdadm: /dev/sda1 has no superblock - assembly aborted
[11:43] <tomcatt> neptok:  I'll love it once I figure it out.
[11:43] <mattdwilnew> oops
[11:43] <SoulChild> Hey guys, how do i change the master audio channel ???
[11:43] <tomcatt> neptok:  :)
[11:44] <Arcad3> i've stoped the instalation and erased the archive
[11:44] <yomm> matt ok i c !
[11:44] <mattdwilnew> i have to overwrite the superblocks, but im scared ill loose the data, so i am frantically googleing :)
[11:45] <latz> Hi all, I am looking for a id3 editor which supports fetching covers from amazon. Anybody an idea?
[11:46] <Arcad3> apt-get rmove virtualbox :the archive cannot be found and it needs to be unninstalled
[11:46] <Taime1> here's an easy one: how do you tell ubuntu (gnome) to use vlc when i open media?
[11:46] <Arcad3> where shold i copy the archive that apt can find it?
[11:47] <KRASHER> Hey guys... anyone can help me with cedega? i want to try it in a LAN Game with a friend running Unreal Tournament Under Windows... it's possible?
[11:47] <deep> Taime1, you in gnome?
[11:47] <Taime1> yes
[11:47] <Arcad3> yes KRASHER
[11:47] <Arcad3> u have cedega installed?
[11:48] <KRASHER> i try to connect to a game created by him but it doesn't show up in the Lan Games avaiable
[11:48] <latz> KRASHER, if I am not mistaken there are linux binaries for Unrela Tournament
[11:48] <deep> Taime1, ouch, well.. in kde you can rightclick a file > properties, and at "Type: <filetype>" there is a button, configure button.. If you click it you can choose what program to open it with
[11:48] <deep> Taime1, i guess its something like that in gnome too
[11:48] <Taime1> hmm.. ill get back to you
[11:49] <latz> KRASHER, http://www.lokigames.com/products/ut/updates.php3 there you go
[11:49] <aflack> Man, Q3 lags to where I can't even move on Ubuntu.
[11:49] <soundray> Taime1: right click - Properties - Open With
[11:49] <goban> can cocoa applications run in ubuntu?
[11:49] <soundray> goban: no
[11:50] <Taime1> well, deep, you were right...but the odd thng is, i have been doing it differently in kde too! haha
[11:50] <Taime1> but thanks
[11:50] <Arcad3> ardchoille:here is the name of the package VirtualBox_1.3.4_Ubuntu_edgy_i386.deb..my OS is edgy
[11:50] <Taime1> kde has a "prefered applications" kind of a section in control center
[11:50] <KRASHER> Cedega doesn't implement Multiplayer Game?
[11:51] <goban> ah ok, im getting fed up with swing and someone told me cocoa was good, but it seems thats not a good answer since its not cross platform
[11:51] <spikeh> how do I start X in command
[11:51] <Arcad3> startx
[11:51] <spikeh> thank you
[11:51] <Taime1> but yeah, thanks, it was in that menu, and did, indeed change system-wide
[11:51] <Taime1> later!
[11:52] <spikeh> after installing fglrx and configuring xorg by using "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and starting X; it refuses to launch any applications including the installation script
[11:52] <ikonia_> what installation script ?
[11:52] <Arcad3> nvidia?
[11:52] <spikeh> to install Ubuntu
[11:52] <ikonia_> eerrrrr you've got ubuntu installed
[11:52] <spikeh> I don't
[11:52] <ikonia_> hence why your mofidying X
[11:53] <spikeh> I'm modifying X because ati doesn't work
[11:53] <ikonia_> you're installing ati drivers and reconfiguring X on the livecd
[11:53] <spikeh> yes
[11:53] <ikonia_> I see
[11:53] <aflack> lol
[11:53] <mneptok> spikeh: not gonna work.
[11:53] <spikeh> mneptok: please explain
[11:54] <mneptok> spikeh: not=will not or "impossible" | gonna = shorthand for "going to" |  work = function, or operate
[11:54] <steel_lady> Is there a way to make browser play all the multimedia content on its pages with VLC???
[11:54] <aflack> lol.
[11:54] <spikeh> I was expecting something as to "why"
[11:54] <deep> Haha. :D
[11:54] <spikeh> or perhaps some solutions to resolve the issue
[11:54] <aflack> I love this channel.
[11:54] <deep> aflack, me too. ^^
[11:54] <IdleOne> spikeh, you ned to install ubuntu system wide before you can add the ATI drivers
[11:55] <mneptok> spikeh: the solution is to install the OS.
[11:55] <soundray> !info mozilla-plugin-vlc | steel_lady
[11:55] <ubotu> steel_lady: mozilla-plugin-vlc: multimedia plugin for web browsers based on VLC. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.6-svn20061012.debian-1ubuntu1.1 (edgy), package size 26 kB, installed size 116 kB
[11:55] <spikeh> how would I install in commandline
[11:55] <spikeh> as this is all I have at the moment
[11:55] <aflack> ;o
[11:55] <ikonia_> use the alternate cd
[11:55] <aflack> "Install CD"
[11:55] <mneptok> spikeh: reboot
[11:55] <Tomcat_> Why should installing the ATI drivers on the LiveCD not work?
[11:55] <ikonia_> or try the "safe mode" graphics
[11:55] <spikeh> ikonia_ the liveCD and install CD are the same thing
[11:55] <mneptok> spikeh: nhen you reboot you'll have a GUI.
[11:56] <mneptok> *When
[11:56] <Tomcat_> It's difficult, but I think it might work. :o
[11:56] <spikeh> mneptok I can't get GUI in the first place
[11:56] <steel_lady> soundray, I am a blonde, which comand to write in terminal to install it?
[11:56] <ikonia_> spikeh - I didn't say there where not. I said use the alternate CD or safe mode
[11:56] <mackinac> desktop cd and alternate cd are not same
[11:56] <ikonia_> I didn't say use the install/livecd
[11:56] <spikeh> sorry ikonia_ I meant aflack
[11:56] <soundray> steel_lady: I like blonde. 'sudo apt-get install mozilla-plugin-vlc', restart firefox afterwards.
[11:56] <aflack> I was simply quoting my cd.
[11:57] <spikeh> this has worked before and I can't see why it doesn't now
[11:57] <aflack> What did you do differently last time?
[11:57] <spikeh> absolutely nothing
[11:57] <ikonia_> what errors are you getting when you try to launch applications
[11:57] <truent> anyone know why dvd playback wouldnt work in ubuntu?.. works fine in windows.. i get medium not found errors
[11:57] <detectiveinspekt> how do i upgrade dapper to edgy?
[11:57] <spikeh> ikonia_ I don't get any errors, it attempts to launch and I see it in the taskbar, and then it disappears
[11:57] <ikonia_> !dvd >truent
[11:57] <IdleOne> !dvd | truent
[11:57] <ubotu> truent: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[11:58] <mattdwilnew> yomm:
[11:58] <mattdwilnew> i think i did it :)
[11:58] <truent> ikonia, thanks.. but i dont think its a matter of decrypting.. even dvdroms wont work
[11:58] <steel_lady> soundray, it says mozilla-plugin-vlc is already the newest version, why is it not working then?
[11:58] <ikonia_> isn't there something tricky about messing with the livecd Xserver due tot he fact that its all in memory and doesn't properly leave memory when you restart it
[11:58] <usuario> xica mala
[11:58] <IdleOne> truent, you need to install libdvdcss2 info at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[11:59] <truent> k
[11:59] <truent> i'll try that
[11:59] <soundray> steel_lady: perhaps you have another plugin interfering. Enter 'about:plugins' as the URL to check.
[11:59] <spikeh> ikonia_ so would the "alternate" CD install then? is there no way to install in commandline for the desktop disc?
[11:59] <spikeh> normal boot doesn't work and safe graphics mode manages to give me commandline
[12:00] <mattdwilnew> yomm I created a new raid with /dev/.static/dev/sda1 instead of /dev/sda1
[12:00] <ikonia_> spikeh I'd try the alterneate cd
[12:00] <steel_lady> soundray, what should I do with all that information? realplayer also has the plugin enabled but it doesn't work
[12:00] <Lacrimosa> :-)
[12:00] <Lacrimosa> anybody running Ubuntu on T1 ?
[12:01] <ikonia_> Lacrimosa a netra T1 ?
[12:01] <ikonia_> or a T1 line
[12:01] <soundray> steel_lady: is the vlc plugin listed?
[12:01] <steel_lady> yes soundray
[12:01] <Lacrimosa> sun cool'd T1
[12:01] <yomm> matt : and ?
[12:01] <ikonia_> Lacrimosa coold T1 ? do you mean Cool threads T1000 or a Netra T1
[12:01] <mattdwilnew> and i mounted the raid and i can view the contents!
[12:02] <mattdwilnew> so i'm going to copy to my main drive
[12:02] <yomm> matt : excellent :)
[12:02] <Lacrimosa> coolthreads, of course
[12:02] <mattdwilnew> then wipe it :)
[12:02] <scarpitch> How do I add a program to PATH? Installed "Ark", but it wont extract *.rar.. says that "The utility unrar is not in your PATH. please install ...." But that's kind of what I just did :)
[12:02] <mattdwilnew> (the raid)
[12:02] <mattdwilnew> and start over
[12:02] <humbolto> my eth0 is not working anymore after upgrade to feisty
[12:02] <ikonia_> Lacrimosa I've not got it running at this moment. But I have seen one installed in the lab
[12:02] <yomm> matt : lol , what else ;)
[12:02] <humbolto> when I force a sudo "dhclient eth0" it tells me "SIOCSIFADDR: Permission denied". Same for IFFLAGS
[12:02] <ikonia_> humbolto fesity is alpha software
[12:02] <mattdwilnew> going to have to do a better job this time
[12:03] <humbolto> Network manager does not work either. what to do now?
[12:03] <ikonia_> humbolto #ubuntu+1 for alpha software discussion
[12:03] <yomm> matt :  a clean mdadm create should give you no probs whatsoever :)
[12:03] <soundray> steel_lady: can you point me to one of the online media files that you want to play with the vlc plugin?
[12:03] <JohnRobert> humbolto: do: sudo ifconifg
[12:03] <spikeh> wow I can't believe this, it's just my optical drive
[12:03] <humbolto> ikonia_: nobody there
[12:03] <yomm> matt : I've been running 3 arrays for 6 months now , it's stable as hell :)
[12:03] <JohnRobert> humbolto: then see what interfaces you have on the system
[12:03] <ikonia_> humbolto thats the price of alpha software
[12:03] <spikeh> I had a hunch and swapped the disc to a diff drive and now it's working
[12:03] <Lacrimosa> ikonia_: yep :-(
[12:04] <JohnRobert> network-manager is alpha?
[12:04] <ikonia_> Lacrimosa are you strugglging to get it working ?
[12:04] <ikonia_> JohnRobert no feisty distro is
[12:04] <yaman> need help here [12:04] <JohnRobert> ah right
[12:04] <JohnRobert> yeah
[12:04] <steel_lady> soundray, I can not play almost anything
[12:04] <JohnRobert> it's broken, don't expect it to work
[12:04] <JohnRobert> :p
[12:04] <soundray> steel_lady: can you *point me to* one of the online media files that you want to play with the vlc plugin?
[12:05] <ikonia_> sexcopter Bristol uni - nice
[12:05] <humbolto> ikonia_: I know the price. And I have no problem with it. But still I want to work things out.
[12:05] <steel_lady> soundray, with a lot of problems it play some things that are somehow done in flash and it plays youtube. but the rest it doesne
[12:05] <ikonia_> humbolto cool = #ubuntu+1 is the palce
[12:05] <ikonia_> place even
[12:05] <soundray> steel_lady: PLEASE give me an example that doesn't work
[12:05] <mneptok> humbolto: Feisty questions to #ubuntu+1 please
[12:06] <sexcopter> hi there. I'm running dapper livecd on a dell pc, it has intel 82845 integrated graphics, and i'm forced at the moment in 640 at 60hz. if i go ahead and install, is there any guarantee i'll get it to 1024?
[12:06] <daviey> sexcopter, GAIM yuke
[12:06] <mneptok> sexcopter: i810?
[12:06] <humbolto> ikonia_: That I know either. But nobody there right now. So I am trying to collect some clues here.
[12:06] <ikonia_> sexcopter no promise, but you should be able to configure it better onice installed
[12:06] <Lacrimosa> ikonia_: well i yea
[12:06] <sexcopter> ikonia_: yeah, i'm a student here, do you know bristol uni?
[12:06] <ikonia_> humbolto I guess its best to wait in #ubuntu+1 for the correct people
[12:06] <tahsin> why is my flight gear running so slowly ?
[12:06] <mneptok> sexcopter: do you see big raster borders?
[12:06] <steel_lady> www.hrt.hr/streams/hr1.ram     soundray
[12:06] <sexcopter> mneptok: not sure, is that the same thing?
[12:06] <ikonia_> sexcopter very well - pop into #ubuntu-offtopic if you wantedto chat about it
[12:07] <sexcopter> mneptok: raster borders?
[12:07] <sexcopter> ikonia_: another time if that's ok, i want to get this sorted first :)
[12:07] <ikonia_> not at all
[12:07] <henry_Yang> ..
[12:07] <ikonia_> sexcopter do you know what video card you've got
[12:07] <Lacrimosa> ikonia_: forget it...
[12:07] <ikonia_> Lacrimosa fixed it ?
[12:07] <mneptok> sexcopter: big black borders
[12:08] <tahsin> why is flight gear running very slowly
[12:08] <wormboy> hey i run ubuntu 6.10 on HP nx6310 laptop and i have proplem with gnome-power-manager. i doesn't update the power meter at all when running on battery. can smb pls help me fix this??
[12:08] <soundray> steel_lady: for that, you need mozilla-mplayer (tested here, works)
[12:08] <sexcopter> mneptok: well ubuntu doesn't fill out the whole screen (easily adjusted with the monitor), but borders for windows seem ok.
[12:09] <ikonia_> sexcopter do you know what video card you've got
[12:09] <mneptok> sexcopter: sounds like the i810 issue. 3 lines in xorg.conf fixes it.
[12:09] <Jadi> {ktzn}, Khosh oomadi :)
[12:09] <sexcopter> is the i810 a generic driver or an actual chipset? i'm a tad confused
[12:09] <tahsin> ikonia: yes nvidia rive tnt2
[12:09] <ikonia_> the i810 is the generic intel driver
[12:09] <steel_lady> soundray, that works also in real player I have installed but not inside the browser
[12:09] <ikonia_> tahsin, I was talking to sexcopter
[12:09] <tahsin> sorry
[12:09] <ikonia_> not at all
[12:10] <sexcopter> as i say, device manager says "82845G/GL[Brookdale-G] /GE Chipset"
[12:10] <soundray> steel_lady: anyway, this is not a stream that vlc would be a suitable delegate for.
[12:10] <steel_lady> it doesn't work windows media and quicktime either. soundray
[12:10] <mneptok> tahsin: and that TNT2 is why it's running slowly. 8 year old video cards do that.
[12:10] <ikonia_> sexcopter you "may" for you own interest want to try the intel driver - simpley because thats the same driver as i810 but with some updates
[12:11] <steel_lady> soundray, and why whatever I choose to reproduce in mplayer it doesn't work?
[12:11] <sexcopter> so, it's probably worth my while going ahead installing
[12:11] <ikonia_> sexcopter but I suspect once ubuntu is instlled a quick X configuration will get you a fine setup with i810
[12:11] <sexcopter> ok ikonia_, thanks. I'll give it a shot!
[12:11] <sexcopter> and thanks mneptok too
[12:11] <tahsin> mneptok: but it runs fine on windows :d
[12:12] <ikonia_> tahsin windows != linux
[12:12] <soundray> steel_lady: perhaps you have missing codecs
[12:12] <tahsin> ikonia what do you mean
[12:12] <Arcad3> tashin u have windows installed?
[12:12] <henry_Yang> https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/graphics-cards.html
[12:12] <sexcopter> oh bother. the installer doesn't fit in the screen when in 640. that's a major shortcoming of the installer imo
[12:12] <ikonia_> tahsin you can't compare windows support/compatability to linux
[12:13] <sexcopter> managed to move the window though
[12:13] <tahsin> yes
[12:13] <tahsin> ok so that mean it will not work on linux
[12:13] <NicegirL> what does the != mean?
[12:13] <ikonia_> NicegirL no equal
[12:13] <steel_lady> soundray, yes I am missing codecs. that's why I want to put vlc to reproduce avi wma and quicktime
[12:13] <ikonia_> not equal
[12:13] <wormboy> hey i run ubuntu 6.10 on HP nx6310 laptop and i have proplem with gnome-power-manager. i doesn't update the power meter at all when running on battery. can smb pls help me fix this??
[12:13] <ardchoille> NicegirL: != mans is not equal to
[12:14] <NicegirL> ikonia thanx!
[12:14] <IdleOne> NicegirL, != not equal too but should mean linux is better then :)
[12:14] <deep> IdleOne, windows < linux, then. :D
[12:15] <IdleOne> deep, depending how you want to read it :P yeah
[12:15] <mattdwilnew> yomm: hopefully! :)
[12:15] <deep> IdleOne, or just simply "Linux truly is better then windows"
[12:15] <zcat[1] > linux > *
[12:16] <soundray> steel_lady: I think the way forward is to disable all plugins except vlc, then test with avi, wma and quicktime files.
[12:17] <IdleOne> this is better for ubuntu-offtopic but windows is not a bad OS it just has it's shor commings like any other OS....Linux is'nt well suited for gaming for example  but the Linux community is working on that also :)
[12:17] <deep> zcat[1] , exacly. :D
[12:17] <steel_lady> ok soundray, how do I manage plugins without uninstalling?
[12:17] <marcko> !nmap
[12:18] <ubotu> nmap: The Network Mapper. In component main, is extra. Version 4.10-1 (edgy), package size 702 kB, installed size 2436 kB
[12:18] <soundray> steel_lady: uninstalling is probably easiest. The .deb archives will still be in your cache, so reinstalling is just as easy.
[12:19] <tahsin> when i type sudo aptitude update i get this error
[12:19] <truent> hmm, dvd problem.. not playback.. the fact that it doesnt recognize theres medium at all in the drive if its dvd.. cd's work fine?

[12:25] <yomm> Frogzoo : ok i'll look into that ! thx !
[12:26] <soundray> steel_lady: then restart firefox. You should have vlc as the only enabled plugin after that. Check with about:plugins, then test.
[12:27] <payam> which one shoul i take?
[12:27] <payam> Gizmo for what?
[12:27] <yomm> Frogzoo : Isn't it possible to use my old pci 56.6K modem card and a headset for just pulse or tone dialing ?

[12:33] <Orfeous> need some help... i have just installed ubuntu on my computer but i have some issues with MBR
[12:33] <soundray> Orfeous: be specific
[12:33] <daviey> Orfeous, whats the problem?
[12:34] <daviey> !ask | Orfeous
[12:34] <ubotu> Orfeous: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:34] <payam> i had Blufish on my Parsix but i coulndt see the design ,. i sould see just the Codes
[12:34] <Orfeous> the problem is that i had windows before with a custom installed MBR... so when i restart my computer and after it checks for cd.. it says just MBR....blabla..
[12:34] <payam> do you understand what i mean
[12:34] <Orfeous> then nothing is happening.
[12:34] <ardchoille> payam: Sounds like you want a html WYSIWYG editor
[12:35] <payam> i  want some softeare like Dreamweaver
[12:35] <steel_lady> soundray, it happens like always, black screen with no video title
[12:35] <Orfeous> is it possible to install ubunu boot loader manually
[12:35] <soundray> steel_lady: give me the URL please
[12:35] <daviey> Orfeous, yes, it's called grub
[12:35] <Orfeous> something is bad with mbr can i clean it
[12:35] <daviey> !grub | Orfeous
[12:35] <ubotu> Orfeous: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[12:35] <payam> whats that?
[12:35] <Icehawk78> mneptok: A few other questions - is my mailserver going to be pop.mydomain.homeip.net, or just mydomain.homeip.net, if I set the internet hostname  and domains to recieve mail for to mydomain.homeip.net?
[12:35] <Orfeous> i have booted now on the install-dvd
[12:35] <CheshireViking> payam, if you want a wysiwyg editor have a look at NVU
[12:35] <IdleOne> payam, try Nvu sudo aptitude install nvu
[12:35] <payam> Dreamweaver have 2 parts. Design and code
[12:35] <deep_> payam, quanta have som WYSIWYG feautures, afaik.
[12:35] <payam> ok. lets se
[12:36] <mackinac> wysiwyg = graphical editor (what you see is what you get)
[12:36] <daviey> Ice_Wewe, same as your ip/host (not pop)
[12:36] <ardchoille> payam: Have you tried: ooffice -web
[12:36] <Caplain> ardchoille: i want to burn a vcd
[12:36] <Orfeous> can grub clean my mbr on my harddisk_
[12:36] <mneptok> Icehawk78: where is this machine?
[12:36] <steel_lady> http://dl.net.hr/webcafe/filmici/gest_na_svadbe.wmv   soundray
[12:36] <soundray> Orfeous: follow the page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows -- you can do it from the booted DVD
[12:36] <mneptok> Icehawk78: in your home, connected to cable/DSL?
[12:36] <payam> Office web?
[12:36] <ardchoille> payam: Yes
[12:36] <payam> No. waths that?
[12:37] <Icehawk78> mneptok: Yes, home through a router with a static IP
[12:37] <ardchoille> payam: Open a terminal and run: ooffice -web
[12:37] <Frogzoo> Orfeous: installing grub will overwrite the mbr - but you don't want to 'clean' the mbr - you'll lose your partition table
[12:37] <daviey> IdleOne, isn't there a fork of NVU that is more upto-date?
[12:37] <Icehawk78> mneptok: I have DynDNS set up for it to mydomain.homeip.net
[12:37] <IdleOne> daviey, dont know
[12:37] <mneptok> Icehawk78: in your home, connected to cable/DSL?
[12:37] <Icehawk78> mneptok: yes
[12:37] <payam> Open office?
[12:37] <ardchoille> OpenOffice.org web designer
[12:37] <mneptok> Icehawk78: 99% chance your ISP filters all traffic on port 25.
[12:38] <daviey> IdleOne, payam http://kompozer.net/
[12:38] <marcko> Hello. Ubuntu is really nice but... that menu... Is it possible to implement in the next version a menu like the one from OpenSUSE ? At least as an option ?
[12:38] <mneptok> Icehawk78: before you go about configuring a mail server it's best to read your ISP's TOS
[12:38] <payam> Its looks like Microsoft Word not any Html editor
[12:38] <ardchoille> marcko: You on Edgy?
[12:38] <marcko> Yes
[12:39] <soundray> steel_lady: install ffmpeg and w32codecs, then try again
[12:39] <sexcopter> hey guys, dapper installed now :) But still stuck in 640, so what's this magic fix in xorg.conf?
[12:39] <deep_> !quanta | payam
[12:39] <ardchoille> marcko: Seen this? http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?s=de14d5b022c8e14c8698b97afdd09888&f=156
[12:39] <ubotu> payam: quanta: web development environment for KDE. In component main, is optional. Version 4:3.5.5-0ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 2361 kB, installed size 5700 kB
[12:39] <Orfeous> why isnt grub installed when i install ubuntu
[12:39] <Icehawk78> mneptok: Can I specify postfix to listen for pop to listen on a different port, then? I'm planning on using this specifically just for one very specific purpose (ie not for email, really, but I need control over *a* pop3 server to be able to create accounts on)
[12:39] <mneptok> Icehawk78: my guess is that running a mail server is against the TOS, and will cause them to immediately terminate your connection.
[12:39] <steel_lady> soundray tell me how
[12:39] <payam> NYU  is good i think
[12:39] <Frogzoo> sexcopter: run "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[12:39] <CrakeHunter> how can i backup my evolution data?
[12:39] <daviey> Orfeous, how many hard drives do you have?
[12:39] <marcko> thanks ardchoille
[12:39] <Icehawk78> mneptok: Really?
[12:39] <mneptok> Icehawk78: postfix can listen anywhere. but call your ISP and play nice.
[12:40] <soundray> steel_lady: 'sudo apt-get install ffmpeg w32codecs'
[12:40] <Frogzoo> CrakeHunter: backup ~/.evolution/
[12:40] <Icehawk78> mneptok: Fair enough. I'll check back in a few minutes after I find our TOS
[12:40] <sexcopter> Frogzoo: what will that achieve? It's a fresh install already.
[12:40] <steel_lady> Package w32codecs is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[12:40] <steel_lady> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[12:40] <steel_lady> is only available from another source
[12:40] <steel_lady> E: Package w32codecs has no installation candidate
[12:40] <steel_lady>  soundray
[12:40] <Frogzoo> sexcopter: it will let you choose which resn's
[12:41] <Orfeous> daviey: for now i have 1 the other two are disconnected
[12:41] <sexcopter> Frogzoo: ok, i'll give it a shot

[12:42] <soundray> steel_lady: are you on amd64?
[12:42] <Orfeous> i just did root (hd0,0) then setup (hd0,0)
[12:42] <Orfeous> now i got some errors
[12:42] <steel_lady> soundray I have dell inspiron 6400
[12:42] <daviey> Orfeous, when did you disconnect them?  Before installing or after?
[12:42] <soundray> Orfeous: it has to be setup (hd0)
[12:42] <Orfeous> daviey: after
[12:43] <Orfeous> soundray: ah, now it works
[12:43] <daviey> Orfeous, Grub would have installed on the primary boot drive; ie your old Windows one or something.  Thats probably where grub is installed
[12:43] <Orfeous> daviey: the harddisk is formatted and are going to be used for ubuntu
[12:44] <Orfeous> hmm..
[12:44] <Orfeous> i did a misstake.
[12:44] <soundray> steel_lady: can you try 'vlc http://dl.net.hr/webcafe/filmici/gest_na_svadbe.wmv' pls
[12:44] <Orfeous> i just remember that i have SATA disk
[12:44] <marcko> ardchoille , nice :) I guess i just need a little patience and way for the next release
[12:44] <Orfeous> so it would be setup (sd0)
[12:44] <soundray> Orfeous: no
[12:45] <soundray> Orfeous: grub knows only (hd?), not (sd?)
[12:45] <ardchoille> marcko: I had it working great in Dapper. It should work fine on Edgy now.
[12:45] <Orfeous> soundray: hmm.. ok.
[12:45] <soundray> Orfeous: no matter if they are SCSI, SATA or IDE
[12:45] <truent>  anyone have any idea why dvd's wont read on my drive.. but cd's will.. same drive mind you... and everything as far as i can tell understands that it is a dvd drive?
[12:45] <marcko> Thanks for the suggestion :) I guess will try
[12:45] <Orfeous> soundray: so it might work now if i reboot?
[12:46] <Orfeous> root and setup was the only thing to do?
[12:46] <ardchoille> marcko: Remember to grab the plugins too, they add a lot of nice functionality to USP.
[12:46] <soundray> Orfeous: I haven't followed the whole story, so I can't tell you
[12:46] <steel_lady> soundray, it plays with vlc if I download it but not from the terminal comand
[12:46] <Frogzoo> truent: maybe it's a CDR ?
[12:46] <Orfeous> soundray: ok
[12:46] <Orfeous> i try then i come back if it fails.
[12:46] <truent> frogz: haha.. nah in windows it works fine..
[12:48] <Frogzoo> truent: can you read from the dvd: sudo dd if=/dev/hd# of=/dev/null bs=10000 count=10
[12:48] <marcko> thanks again ardchoille
[12:48] <seravitae> um hi i have a logitech rumblepad pro gamepad and it works/worked fine
[12:48] <seravitae> except a game is looking for /dev/js0 or js1 (joystick) and its not there
[12:49] <seravitae> any ideas how i can get it there
[12:49] <soundray> steel_lady: strange -- here it plays in standalone vlc (both the downloaded file and the URL), but the plugin doesn't work, either.
[12:49] <truent> no medium found
[12:50] <steel_lady> soundray, so the plugin is made bad way
[12:50] <Frogzoo> truent: the above command works for a CD?
[12:50] <truent> it would if put one in
[12:50] <truent> same drive
[12:50] <Frogzoo> truent: well try it
[12:50] <soundray> steel_lady: I think so
[12:50] <truent> k

[12:58] <chemaja> cherva, ^^
[12:59] <BleSS> soundray: ant then apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop

[12:59] <soundray> BleSS: you can (should) leave kubuntu-desktop untouched.
[12:59] <chemaja> cherva, daviey talked to me instead of you
[12:59] <darkstar> nope, just darkstar...
[01:00] <daviey> okay, try:
[01:00] <daviey> !grub
[01:00] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[01:00] <BleSS> soundray: ok, then I'll install ubuntu from scratch, thanks
[01:00] <babo> OMG: my right-mouse button keeps on being pressed by my system. So that it ends up closing windows or resetting the caret. Does anyone have any ideas here ?
[01:00] <sterilegenie> cherva, try azureus
[01:00] <cherva> chemaja what are you talking about ?
[01:00] <soundray> darkstar: pretend that Windows had killed your bootloader and follow ubotu's instructions
[01:00] <soundray> BleSS: why?
[01:00] <daviey> BleSS, you will have BOTH
[01:00] <chemaja> cherva, don't worry. daviey see above
[01:00] <CrakeHunter> how can i erase a dvdrom with ubuntus cd/dvd writer?
[01:00] <kondor21> Frogzoo  whooa, thats a bit techy for me.  I mounted the drive a few days ago.  It was formated then.  I just assumed it would stick around but apparently its not.  I guess I did not mount it permenantly and did some tempory thing.
[01:00] <BleSS> but i would ubuntu by default
[01:01] <BleSS> ok
[01:01] <cherva> when i minimize azureus it just dissapears and i have to kill the process
[01:01] <darkstar> daviey shoud i just run !grub as sudo?
[01:01] <ardchoille> cherva: Do you have the notification area applet in your panel?
[01:01] <sterilegenie> i dont minimize it, i click close and it closes to system tray for me
[01:01] <daviey> darkstar, if you are in recovery console, you are root, so no sudo needed
[01:01] <cherva> yes
[01:02] <daviey> chemaja, sorry, can't see whta you want me to see
[01:02] <sterilegenie> check your preferences
[01:02] <Orfeous> now it worked with GRUB but grub couldnt boot the default kernel
[01:02] <Orfeous> what filesystem is the best and recommended?
[01:02] <chemaja> daviey, you said "chemaja, ktorrent will work in ubuntu/gnome"
[01:02] <daviey> it will
[01:02] <soundray> Orfeous: ext3
[01:02] <Orfeous> i have always runned reiserfs on my debian computers
[01:02] <AmaroqWolf> Quick question. xD Easy one. I have my windows comp networked with this comp. I can access shared folders on it via nautilus. How do I 'cd' into them via the terminal?
[01:02] <darkstar> daviey I was able to start x as the normal user (I hit control D and been brought to gdm, then logged in as the normal user)
[01:03] <Frogzoo> truent: don't know - there's nothing in launchpad except this: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/83345 is there anything logged in /var/log/messages ?
[01:03] <Kaso> Ok so, My firefox "forgets" its settings each time i load it, i have full RW permssions on ~/.mozilla and i am the owner of it, any ideas?
[01:03] <daviey> CrakeHunter, install gnomebaker
[01:03] <kondor21> Frogzoo  hold on, I just checked System/ Disk Manager from the pull down menu and I can see it "hdb"  I wonder why I can not see itSystem Monitor ?  any ideas anyone?
[01:03] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: you can't. Nautilus-"mounted" shares are not in the normal filesystem. They are only accessible by gnomevfs-aware programs
[01:03] <daviey> darkstar, you will need sudo to 'act' as root
[01:03] <MrLightUser> crimsun: I made a post on launchpad about flashplugin-nonfree and I'd like to get a bit more feedback from you about why it's not related, Thanks
[01:04] <Frogzoo> kondor21: you need to add the partitions to /etc/fstab
[01:04] <entropy_> guys, in windows to type a character by its ascii value you go alt+<type in value> is there an equivalent in linux?
[01:04] <entropy_> s/linux/ubuntu/
[01:04] <AmaroqWolf> soundray: aw. So there's no messing with files over a network via terminal?
[01:04] <kondor21> Frogzoo any clue as to how I do that?
[01:04] <daviey> chemaja, ktorrent will work in gnome?  Whats the problem?
[01:05] <darkstar> daviey, I have ran sudo !grub  but I got  "!grub: event not found" messqge from the console
[01:05] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: use 'sudo mount -t cifs -o username=remoteuser //windowshost/sharename /mnt'
[01:05] <Orfeous> soundray: now i connected my other harddisk under install.
[01:05] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: that will make your share accessible for the shell
[01:05] <daviey> AmaroqWolf, When you say mess with files?  what do you mean.   If you want to copy, text edit and such.  use 'ssh'
[01:05] <kondor21> Frogzoo I have opened ect/fstab
[01:06] <daviey> darkstar, sorry you miss understood me.
[01:06] <AmaroqWolf> daviey I was just gonna copy. :P
[01:06] <soundray> daviey: you tend to jump in with not very well-thought out comments.
[01:06] <daviey> !grub | darkstar
[01:06] <ubotu> darkstar: 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
[01:06] <Orfeous> soundray: i am installing on /dev/sda1 as root and /dev/sda5 as swap.. what to tell grub to be root device?
[01:06] <daviey> soundray, pm
[01:06] <chemaja> daviey, lol if you haven't figured it out yet just dont worry
[01:06] <Orfeous> and kernel
[01:06] <soundray> daviey: go ahead
[01:07] <Frogzoo> kondor21: you need to add similar lines that will mount the partitions on the new disk
[01:07] <ubuntu> Hi!
[01:07] <ubuntu> Whether it is possible to realize under Ubuntu analogue of service WSUS from Microsoft?
[01:07] <ubuntu> Thanks.
[01:07] <darkstar> uboutu, I have not lost grub after intallling windows, just after upgrading another ditro I had installed. need to reinstall grub from ubuntu's menu.list
[01:07] <kondor21> Frogzoo  OK I will copy n paste the hda lines and change them to hdb so I have both, and pray
[01:07] <Orfeous> daviey: what will be my device names for kernel and root?
[01:08] <Frogzoo> kondor21: that won't help much
[01:08] <soundray> darkstar: that's why I said *pretend*. The procedure is the same.
[01:08] <kondor21> Frogzoo oh darn it
[01:08] <Frogzoo> kondor21: run 'blkid' - that will show you the UUIDs you need to reference the partitions on the new drive
[01:09] <darkstar> daviey, I did probably misundestand you. I thought there was an 'easy way' to reinstall grub once booted into edgy.
[01:09] <Emulator> Hello.
[01:09] <daviey> darkstar, sadly not
[01:09] <daviey> (yet)
[01:10] <kondor21> Frogzoo dude, your being way too techy for me, I am sorry
[01:10] <truent> Frogzoo, Feb 19 03:55:23 xtopia kernel: [17180779.868000]  cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!
[01:10] <darkstar> daiviey, I'll follow the lonk posted by soundray and see..
[01:10] <darkstar> soundray, thans for the link I will take a look at it and see
[01:10] <soundray> darkstar: daviey posted it, to be fair ;)
[01:10] <kuchcha> Hello room
[01:11] <AmaroqWolf> soundray: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22
[01:11] <Emulator> Excuse me, I have just recently aquired Linux Ubuntu version, and I want to at least run a gens emulator on it. However, I simply do not nderstand how to do that yet, can one of you help me?
[01:11] <darkstar> daviey, Thanks, then ;)
[01:11] <kondor21> Can anyone help me, I am a newbie.  I have a partition hdb but it is not in my ect/fstab.  How do I get it in there?
[01:11] <kuchcha> i want to execute the command pon on startup ... how do i do it
[01:11] <mecha> Can't you use the install CD anymore to install GRUB and then abort the installation process?
[01:11] <sterilegenie> sudo nano /etc/fstab
[01:12] <kuchcha> kondor21: simple...open fstab as root in ur editor and make the changes
[01:12] <Brandon> what is the longest time you stayed awake at once
[01:12] <kuchcha> wats de format?
[01:12] <Brandon> how many hours
[01:12] <ubuntu_> mods
[01:12] <Emulator> past a week.
[01:12] <kondor21> Frogzoo I figured out this bit so far...  UUID="6de108b5-163c-4153-81e7-540f2913109a" TYPE="ext2"
[01:12] <Brandon> without speed?
[01:12] <Emulator> Yes.
[01:12] <ardchoille> kondor21: echo "/dev/hdb1       /mount/point       ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       2" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
[01:13] <Brandon> whoa. thats mega hardcore
[01:13] <Emulator> Ive only done it a few times.
[01:13] <kuchcha> hi...wat bout my query..
[01:13] <Emulator> usually its about 3 days.
[01:13] <Brandon> did you feel like a zombie after a week
[01:13] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: can you tell me your windows hostname and the name of the share?
[01:13] <kuchcha> is there a file to execute commands on startup in ubuntu like autoexec.bat in windows
[01:13] <Emulator> You dont really feel much at all.
[01:13] <tharuss18> &quit
[01:13] <soundray> kuchcha: yes, /etc/rc.local
[01:14] <Brandon> flat affect.... interesting
[01:14] <kuchcha> soundray: thanks...is it for all users?
[01:14] <AmaroqWolf> soundray: hostname is the name of the windows computer right? What do you mean name of the share. Shared folder?
[01:14] <kondor21> ardchoille  do I make it ext2 as it says that in blkid
[01:14] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: yes. In the command I gave you, you have to substitute those for the placeholders I used.
[01:14] <ardchoille> kondor21: Yes, then you will need to change that to ext2 . ext3 = ext2+journal
[01:15] <Emulator> Ecuse me, About my inquiry, Has anyone installed a Gens emulator on their linux computer and ran it successfully? if so, WOuld you please tell me how to do so also?
[01:15] <Frogzoo> kondor21: tbh, you'd be best off to reformat as ext3
[01:15] <sterilegenie> whats gens emulator?
[01:15] <Emulator> Brandon - you don't pay attention much either.
[01:15] <kondor21> ok I will try and reformat it,  thanks for the help so far guys
[01:15] <ardchoille> kondor21: See what Frogzoo said
[01:15] <soundray> kuchcha: no, it can only be edited with root privileges.
[01:15] <Emulator> Brandon - when you have been awake that long.
[01:15] <mesha> I guess it's a Sega emulator.
[01:16] <kuchcha> soundray: tanks..
[01:16] <Emulator> Yes it is.
[01:16] <AmaroqWolf> steven-632f8c64 is the comp name. Shared folder is SharedDocs. I have more than one shared folder though, so I first attempted it directly to the computer itself, not down to the shared folder. Both had the same result though. wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock.
[01:16] <Brandon> Emulator: i have only stay awake for maybe 36 hour but i feel that way after only that long... like i am not really alive anymore
[01:16] <soundray> kuchcha: but if you have a user named kuchcha, you can add a command like 'su - kuchcha ls $HOME >/tmp/ls'
[01:16] <Emulator> It is a genisis emulator, but I am inept at downloading things onto the new computer with linux that i just built.
[01:16] <mesha> Emulator: http://ubuntux.wordpress.com/2006/05/17/howto-compile-gens-from-source/
[01:17] <kondor21> formating hdb with exxteded 3
[01:17] <darkstar> daiviey, supposedly I have re-installed grub.. I will give it a try now to see if it worked.
[01:17] <sterilegenie> have you checked the repos for the emulator ?
[01:17] <Emulator> THank you mesha
[01:17] <Emulator> I don't understand what that means sterilegenie.
[01:18] <sterilegenie> the ubuntu repositories
[01:18] <sterilegenie> synaptic
[01:18] <Emulator> yeah, Im lost.
[01:18] <CheshireViking> !flash9
[01:18] <ubotu> Flash 9 (Final release) is now available for dapper-backports and edgy-backports. See !backports and !flash
[01:18] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: try 'sudo mount -t cifs -o username=steven //steven-632f8c64/SharedDocs /mnt' (you will still have to put the real Windows username if it isn't steven)
[01:18] <mesha> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
[01:18] <CheshireViking> !flash
[01:18] <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
[01:19] <sterilegenie> go to system then administrator and lastly click on synaptic
[01:19] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: actually, there is an easier way:
[01:20] <daveR> can i quickly check that any windows exe programs installed through win will appear in the applications folder?
[01:20] <mike1o> !print
[01:20] <ubotu> Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[01:20] <Emulator> hold on, its on my other computer SterileGenie.
[01:21] <mattfletcher> how can i successfully uninstall every trace of a mysql server from dapper?
[01:21] <sterilegenie> ok
[01:21] <AmaroqWolf> soundray: The command yielded the same outcome. I'd love an easier way. :P
[01:21] <kondor21> Question on formating a 2nd hard drive.  I have some options, one of the is "access path" any tips on what this should be?
[01:21] <daveR> how do i open an installed wine software?
[01:21] <Emulator> Sertilegenie - okay I found it.
[01:22] <ikonia_> kondor21 access path ?
[01:22] <mattfletcher> how do i list what is installed via apt-get at present?
[01:22] <kondor21> ikonia, yes such as /boot
[01:22] <ikonia_> it shouldn't ask you that for formatting it
[01:22] <sterilegenie> ok, look through the various  options on the left
[01:22] <ikonia_> @ kondor21
[01:22] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: try the instructions at http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy in the section " How to mount network folders on boot-up..."
[01:22] <kondor21> ikonia, how do you format? through terminal or Disk Manager ?
[01:23] <AmaroqWolf> daveR: If it doesn't appear in the wine submenu in your menu, if you have one, you'll have to 'cd' to wine's directory. cd ~/.wine/drive_c and look for it in there.
[01:23] <sterilegenie> im not sure what category it would be in
[01:23] <ikonia_> terminal normally
[01:23] <mattfletcher> how can i successfully uninstall every trace of a mysql server from dapper?
[01:23] <Emulator> What should i look for?
[01:23] <kondor21> ok what command is format in terminal?
[01:23] <kondor21> @ ikonia
[01:24] <ikonia_> kondor21 depends what file system you want to put on it
[01:24] <AmaroqWolf> soundray: thank you for the link. I use dapper, but I can change the link to suit my verion of ubuntu. :P
[01:24] <sterilegenie> do a search for emulator
[01:24] <andresmujica> apt-get remove mysql-server
[01:24] <Morrowyn> mattfletcher, by purging it or complete removal in synaptic?
[01:24] <mike1o> is there any driver for xerox workcentre pro 412?
[01:24] <kondor21> ikonia, i want to put ext3 on it
[01:24] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper -- I think the sections are identical
[01:25] <mattfletcher> morrowyn: how do i "purge" it?
[01:25] <ikonia_> kondor21 mke2fs -j /dev/$disk_device_name
[01:25] <sterilegenie> emulator- i did a search and found lots of what your looking for
[01:27] <daveR> is there a shortcut to put the screensaver up?
[01:27] <Emulator> Oh yeah?
[01:27] <kondor21> ikonia so, would it be, mke2fs -j /dev/$hdb or does devive name refer to UID or something
[01:28] <sterilegenie> did you do a search in synaptic
[01:28] <ikonia_> kondor21 device name should be /dev/sda(hda etc)
[01:29] <tuskernini> Kopete hangs ever FIRST time i start it up... is this a bug?
[01:29] <Morrowyn> mattfletcher,  apt-get remove --purge iirc, but check with man apt-get to be sure
[01:29] <Emulator> Yes I searched in synaptic
[01:29] <sterilegenie> what did you get
[01:29] <kenthomson> Namaste! How are you all doing!
[01:30] <kenthomson> Is there some place on the net, that maintains the IRC logs of all the discussion that go around here; such that they are catagorised in question which have been solved, which i can search by keywords to find a solution? (i am not talking about raw logs, but somewhat categorised ones?)
[01:31] <ikonia_> not really
[01:31] <kenthomson> really?
[01:31] <Connelly> after changing from xp to ubuntu, from a wide variety of sites, downloads on firefox are typically 30 KB/s vs 300 KB/s and often slow down and 'hang' so that it is difficult to get a download to complete without using wget
[01:31] <Emulator> gnome - terminal v.2.14.2
[01:31] <ikonia_> no - not really
[01:31] <Connelly> is there a way to fix this problem?
[01:31] <Enselic``> kenthomson: that's a Nobel prize problem
[01:31] <Emulator> kdetes
[01:31] <Emulator> konsole
[01:31] <Emulator> libvte
[01:31] <test> hmm..
[01:31] <Emulator> libxxf86dga
[01:31] <Enselic``> Connelly: sounds like an odd problem
[01:31] <Emulator> xterm
[01:32] <soundray> !ipv6 | Connelly
[01:32] <ubotu> Connelly: To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4
[01:32] <Emulator> x window sys core
[01:32] <johwil> hi, i need help! Where do I find plugins for .mpg & .avi?
[01:32] <Emulator> thats all I think.
[01:32] <kenthomson> ikonia, Enselic`` theres gottu be raw logs, and if we can have a language software that categorises things (in the open source world), than we could simply let it analyse all the stuff, and could get really useful accuracy
[01:32] <Connelly> Enselic``: it might just be my network slowed down recently...i can reboot into windows and try some more specific tests
[01:32] <Emulator> Im not running the latest version of Ubuntu though.
[01:32] <ikonia_> kenthomson its not that simple- hence why it doesn't exist
[01:32] <sterilegenie> emulator- click on settings in synaptics
[01:32] <Enselic``> Connelly: try the IP6 settings as suggested first
[01:32] <Connelly> Enselic``: sure i'll try disabling ipv6 thanks for the suggestion
[01:32] <soundray> kenthomson: it's a good idea. Go ahead.
[01:32] <sterilegenie> then click repositories
[01:33] <kenthomson> soundray, I ain't got the knowledge to do go ahead with such a project
[01:33] <Enselic``> kenthomson: the problem is the language analyze
[01:33] <Emulator> k...
[01:33] <soundray> kenthomson: hint: apt-cache search natural language process
[01:33] <Enselic``> soundray: getting computers to undestand langues is hard
[01:33] <kenthomson> ikonia,  Enselic``, even if we are not dealing with complex language structures simple algorith used by marketing teams all over the world, to know the frequency of the certain KEY keywords helps a lot
[01:33] <sterilegenie> are all of you repositories checked?
[01:33] <Emulator> no.
[01:34] <sterilegenie> check them all
[01:34] <soundray> Enselic``: you even found Connelly's problem hard ;)
[01:34] <ikonia_> kenthomson as I said - its not that simple
[01:34] <Ayabara> how can I find out which serial ports that exist on my system? I need to know the x in /dev/ttyx :-)
[01:34] <johwil> hi, i need help! Where do I find plugins for .mpg & .avi?
[01:35] <soundray> !malaga-bin | kenthomson
[01:35] <Emulator> Okay.
[01:35] <kondor21> how do i log in as root?

[01:35] <Emulator> will I need the install disk for that?
[01:35] <johwil> thanks deep
[01:35] <sterilegenie> no
[01:35] <soundray> Ayabara: serial ports are '/dev/ttySn', with n one of 0, 1, 2 or 3

[01:36] <Ayabara> soundray, thanks.
[01:36] <Orfeous> <-- orfeous
[01:37] <Orfeous> brb
[01:37] <sterilegenie> after synaptics is finished reloading, do a search for emulator
[01:37] <Emulator> that computer is not connected to the internet.
[01:37] <kondor21> thats wierd, teminal has gone yellow and I have "I have no name" in it
[01:37] <Emulator> It said it had a networking error.
[01:38] <aflack> LOL
[01:38] <sterilegenie> well it will need to be to fetch the new repositories
[01:38] <soundray> Emulator: search http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[01:38] <darkstar> daviey, Why does grub refuse to boot stadard ubuntu lamenting a cylinder limit exceed while still allowing boot into recovery mode?
[01:39] <daviey> darkstar, hmm, you've lost me.   What was the exact error?
[01:39] <moredhel> can someone tell me how to change the colour of the font of the other person in gaim? i'm using a dark theme and can't see their writing
[01:39] <kondor21> I am getting this when I type sudo in terminal... sudo: uid 1000 does not exist in the passwd file! wonder what that means
[01:40] <chemaja> kondor21, your /etc/passwd is broken
[01:40] <kondor21> how did that break?
[01:40] <chemaja> amongst other things
[01:40] <chemaja> umm
[01:40] <chemaja> dunno i wasn't in ur CPU at the time
[01:40] <AmaroqWolf> soundray, I think I'm getting closer. Running the dmesg | tail allowed me to see this at the end. It's different than before. smbfs: mount_data version 1919251317 is not supported
[01:40] <kenthomson> Some-day when i got the time and motivation; we the depth of packages and libraries available in the Open-source world one can develop a really innovative package within weeks! Thats the beauty of Open-source right?! Now only if people start producing quality documentation and properly documented programs it would help a lot! As of now it is better to re-write a certain component rather than scamper through the source code that is ill-maintained, but a
[01:40] <kenthomson> gain it is open-source and voluntary so one can't complain. But i think that what ails OS-world, people let go of quality just becuase it is voluntary work, i think that is really poor and degrading for our software. There should be a standard ISO, which all the OS-software apply for and if they are stable and come with good documentation than they can be given a USER LICENSE and if their source code is well maintained/documented they can be given a DE
[01:40] <kenthomson> VELOPER LICENSE, you know something like that? Otherwise this distributed effort to build software really lets go off quality in comparison to what we develop in a strictly professional environment
[01:40] <ikonia_> !ops
[01:40] <ubotu> Help! Mez, LjL, elkbuntu, imbrandon, DBO, gnomefreak, Hobbsee, rob, ompaul, Madpilot, Burgundavia, Seveas, CarlK, crimsun, ajmitch, tritium, Nalioth, thoreauputic, apokryphos or tonyyarusso
[01:41] <kondor21> chemja  so i should reboot?
[01:41] <ikonia_> thank you
[01:41] <chemaja> kondor21, you tell me mr sysadmin ;)
[01:41] <elkbuntu> repeat offender too
[01:41] <Hobbsee> what the hell does he think he's doing - AGAIN???
[01:41] <darkstar> daviey, I reinstalled grub according to the guide. It now shows correct boot options but when I try booting into edgy stadard it exits with an error lamenting that cylinder exceeds limit... Whereas i can still boot into recovery mode.
[01:42] <chemaja> kondor21, i'd be making sure all packages in your dpkg are installed correctly
[01:42] <sterilegenie> sounds like a rant from a ms developer
[01:42] <kondor21> chemja ok don't take the urine :) I am new to linux and only started it on thursday
[01:42] <kenthomson> did i say something wrong?
[01:42] <kondor21> wierd it all worked fine for the last few days
[01:42] <Hobbsee> kenthomson: FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD, DONT SPAM!
[01:42] <ikonia_> you flooded the channel again
[01:42] <moredhel> anyone?
[01:42] <Hobbsee> banforwarding is appearing to break here
[01:42] <Emulator> ow....
[01:42] <ikonia_> moredhel sorry I missed your question
[01:42] <moredhel>  can someone tell me how to change the colour of the font of the other person in gaim? i'm using a dark theme and can't see their writing
[01:43] <daviey> darkstar,  if you do "sudo fdisk -l" do you get "# Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary."  appear anywhere?
[01:43] <ikonia_> moredhel itm must be in options - somewhere
[01:43] <kondor21> iyuck
[01:43] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: eek -- you may have to do 'sudo apt-get install smbfs'
[01:43] <moredhel> i've looked :S
[01:43] <darkstar> daiviey, hold on I'll check right away.
[01:43] <moredhel> there is only outgoing stuf
[01:43] <moredhel> this sucks .
[01:44] <moredhel> is it just me or does synaptic not inherit gtk themes very well?
[01:44] <moredhel> xD
[01:44] <darkstar> daviey, Nope. not at all...
[01:44] <kondor21> oh well, got a wierd feeling i will be reinstalling everything in a few mins, thanks for the help guys.
[01:45] <kondor21> I dunno, if this is the problems I get trying to mount a hard drive I might as well go back to bill

[01:46] <Enselic``> [0x90] _: sudo gdm restart

[01:49] <AmaroqWolf> Thankees!
[01:49] <cherva> pls help when i minimize azureus it minimizees to nowhere (with minimize to try ON )
[01:50] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: a row of '*'s is not a very safe password ;)
[01:50] <AmaroqWolf> I know. It isn't my password. ;)
[01:50] <Enselic``> cherva: you have the tray on your panel?
[01:50] <Enselic``> cherva: rightclick on a panel and pick Add to panel... and make sure its tehre
[01:51] <moredhel> does anyone know if there is any good documentation on making skins for kde or metacity/gtk ?
[01:51] <cherva> Enselic``, yes i have notification area
[01:51] <Nu3> I am getting my ass handed to me by an emulator, Thats messed up.
[01:51] <Enselic``> moredhel: try www.gnome-look.org, I belive they have tuts.
[01:51] <moredhel> thanks
[01:51] <Enselic``> cherva: try to restart azereus
[01:52] <Enselic``> cherva: fire up a terminal and pkill azereus
[01:52] <Enselic``> cherva: maybe it's on a different desktop? Ctrl + Alt + arrows a bit to see
[01:52] <cherva> Enselic``, tried all ready ,when i minimize it and i run azureus in terminal i pops up
[01:52] <cherva> from nowhere
[01:53] <Enselic``> cherva: sorry, what is the problem again?
[01:53] <cherva> when i minimize azureus it disapears and i want to minimize it to try
[01:53] <Enselic``> cherva: disappears? doesnt it go to the window area?
[01:54] <Enselic``> cherva: aka taskbar
[01:54] <cherva> nope
[01:54] <defrysk> cherva, you need to set that up in azureus
[01:54] <Enselic``> cherva: do you have a taskbar?
[01:54] <Nu3> Excuse me, WHat would make a dvdrom player not open?
[01:54] <defrysk> cherva, and make sure you have a notification area in you panel
[01:54] <cherva> i have a taskbar and i have set up the minimize to try optin in azureus
[01:54] <Nu3> mine just shut and stopped doing anything.
[01:54] <Enselic``> Nu3: lots of stuff, try to launch it from a termial for more verbose error output
[01:55] <AmaroqWolf> soundray: now how do you unmount something, out of curiosity. xD
[01:55] <defrysk> cherva, righclick panel on empty spot , select add and then selecy notification area
[01:55] <Nu3> What?
[01:55] <Enselic``> cherva: when you minimize other windows, do they show up in the taskbar?
[01:55] <Enselic``> Nu3: whats the name of the dvd player?
[01:56] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: 'sudo umount something', where you replace 'something' with either the mountpoint (works for shares as well as local filesystems) or the devicename (local only)
[01:56] <cherva> i have notification area (my skype sits there ) Enselic`` yes they are showing up in the taskbr
[01:56] <cherva> bar*
[01:56] <AmaroqWolf> soundray: thank you
[01:56] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: (not this is really umount, not unmount)
[01:56] <soundray> *note
[01:56] <tuskernini> KOPETE hangs every first time i run it... any ideas why?
[01:56] <Enselic``> cherva: hmm, I suggest an azereus source then
[01:56] <Nu3> IT is called HP lightscrobe
[01:57] <moredhel> hmm, found tutorials on art.gnome.org
[01:57] <Nu3> lightscribe*
[01:57] <Enselic``> cherva: like their irc channel
[01:57] <cherva> witch is ........
[01:57] <moredhel> tuskernini: any reason why you are using kopete in gnome?
[01:57] <defrysk>  #azureus
[01:57] <soundray> tuskernini: have you tried running it from a terminal, to see the stderr messages?
[01:57] <cherva> 10x
[01:57] <Enselic``> Nu3: when communicating on IRC, its good to mention the name of the one you talk to, that way that line will be highlighted for that person
[01:57] <Nu3> My fault.
[01:57] <Enselic``> Nu3: if you use a decent IRC client, you should have TAB completion onnames
[01:57] <soundray> tuskernini: if that's not conclusive, try 'strace kopete'
[01:57] <Enselic``> Nu3: try Ens<TAB>
[01:58] <AmaroqWolf> soundray: yeah xD I was wondering why unmount wouldn't work till you told me of umount.
[01:58] <tuskernini> moredhel, it has webcam support
[01:58] <moredhel> Enselic``: except that excessive use of highlighting annoys people
[01:58] <kenthomson> HELP; i need to find a widescreen theme for GFXBOOT: 1440x900; I looked very hard at google but can't seem to find one, does anyone care to offer some insight?
[01:58] <moredhel> tuskernini: oh ok :)
[01:58] <tuskernini> soundray, will try next time i restart or come out of suspend
[01:58] <moredhel> doesn't gaim 2 have webcam?
[01:58] <ikonia_> kenthomson I don't think it supports widescreen
[01:58] <Enselic``> Nu3: open a terminal and try to write 'lightscribe'
[01:58] <darkstar> soundray, Do you have a guess on why does gparted deems my /dev/hda from which I am running ubuntu now NOT ALLOCATED ?
[01:58] <Enselic``> Nu3: and see what it says
[01:59] <tuskernini> soundray, strace kopete...   will do when it ahppens again  thankyou
[01:59] <iroc> hi everyone, how are you?
[01:59] <Enselic``> !hi | iroc
[01:59] <ubotu> iroc: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[01:59] <kenthomson> ikonia, so than how does it scale and image to my monitor on boot?
[01:59] <tuskernini> moredhel, unless you have another option... NOT amsn... it cant work easily through a router
[01:59] <iroc> thanks ubotu
[01:59] <kenthomson> ikonia_, that was for you
[01:59] <ikonia_> it scales your image - ie it doesn't support widescreen
[02:00] <iroc> im a noob to ubuntu currently downloading the amd64 dvd
[02:00] <soundray> darkstar: I don't know -- but I suggest you avoid running gparted on a disk with mounted filesystems on it.
[02:00] <moredhel> tuskernini: gaim
[02:00] <rzts> quit
[02:00] <AmaroqWolf> soundray: kekeke, I now have two shared folders mounted in subdirs of /mnt
[02:00] <tuskernini> moredhel, with cam support... when did this happen?
[02:00] <moredhel> tuskernini: it's gtk as well :)
[02:00] <kenthomson> ikonia_, if i have a larger image (larger resolution) that is equal to my monitor resolution, than that would mean it supports widescreen, right?
[02:00] <moredhel> the beta 2 i think :\
[02:00] <moredhel> ill just test
[02:00] <ikonia_> not really no
[02:00] <ikonia_> framebuffer is probably just scalling yup
[02:00] <ikonia_> up
[02:01] <moredhel> ok, my bad, i thought it did for some reason
[02:01] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: you are rapidly approaching mastery of this thing ;)
[02:01] <kenthomson> ikonia_, so is there a way that i can have a widescreen gfx boot theme?
[02:01] <AmaroqWolf> ;)
[02:01] <darkstar> soudray, I was runnig gparted to try understanding why, afer reinstalling grub I am unable to boot into normal mode as grub exits witha a cylinder limit exceeded error message, while still allowing me to boot into recovery mode...
[02:01] <ikonia_> I don't believe so, but I could be wrong
[02:01] <iroc> are there any problems to watch out for when installing? im running an amd64 5000 dualcore
[02:01] <tuskernini> moredhel, i would have loved to use it.. but... no cam... even kopete does not allways work... and seeing skype has no vid support in linux yet...
[02:01] <cntb> zmeiat_joro:  ?
[02:01] <osrc_server_expe> Hi all
[02:02] <osrc_server_expe> does any one know how to play amr files in ubuntu
[02:02] <darkstar> soundray, I ran sudo fdisk -l but it seems there are no error messages...
[02:02] <Slart> iroc: what flavour are you installing? 32bit or 64bit?
[02:02] <Enselic``> osrc_server_expe: what kind of files are they?
[02:02] <soundray> darkstar: I saw your problem description, and I thought about it, but I haven't got any ideas. It's a difficult one to diagnose remotely.
[02:02] <iroc> the newest ubuntu 6.10 i think 64 bit
[02:03] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: careful: cp overwrites the target by default if it's a file
[02:03] <Slart> iroc: if you just want a working system go with 32bit instead.. there are still some issues with 64bit.. such as flash and wine
[02:03] <Slart> iroc: you can still get it to work.. but it's a bit more work
[02:03] <tuskernini> soundray, would kopete -caption "%c" %i %m %u be totally wrong?
[02:03] <iroc> o i dont care about wine
[02:04] <roe_> how do I get 4 virtual desktops instead of 2?
[02:04] <darkstar> soundray, thanks. I don't wanna abuse your time. Anyways this is driving me insane. Boot options between safe mode and standard mode should not really affect a cylinder exceed limit  problem, if any...
[02:04] <Slart> iroc: your choice.. you have been warned =)
[02:04] <osrc_server_expe> Enselic``: These are nokia media files
[02:04] <AmaroqWolf> soundray: I'm just gonna copy my music directory to my other computer, overwriting it's current music directory. When I get more songs on this one, I do that to update the songs I have on that one. I just want to do it this way so I can say I've done it via terminal. ;)
[02:04] <soundray> tuskernini: I don't know anything about kopete. I was just giving you a generic answer, since no kopete experts were stepping forward...
[02:04] <Enselic``> osrc_server_expe: hmm, sounds like an odd format, I'd put my bet on mplayer
[02:04] <iroc> so 32 bit runs alot better huh?
[02:04] <Enselic``> osrc_server_expe: sudo apt-get install mplayer
[02:04] <tuskernini> soundray, thank you so much.. kind of you
[02:05] <osrc_server_expe> Enselic``: k let me try that
[02:05] <Slart> iroc: well.. no.. 64 bit runs better.. but everything isn't available for 64 bit yet
[02:05] <Slart> iroc: win32 codecs is another example
[02:05] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: if you want really wizardy stuff, read 'man rsync'
[02:05] <flsp> hi, I need a help on configuring my i945 graphics chipset... can anyone help me?
[02:06] <iroc> ahhhhh ok then that explains why win32 wont install on the 64 bit im on
[02:06] <Slart> iroc: I haven't made any benchmarks but they say 64bit if faster for video-work.. and other processor intensive stuff
[02:06] <iroc> im usin 64 bit sabayon
[02:06] <Slart> iroc: just thought I'd give you a little warning..
[02:06] <cntb> zmeiat_joro: bylgarski
[02:06] <cntb> !bg
[02:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bg - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:06] <Enselic``> flsp: configure in what way? try man i810
[02:06] <iroc> thanks man
[02:07] <SoulChild> JO What's up?
[02:08] <flsp> Enselic: in fact, I cant run any 3D app in my Dapper 64. Google Earth, Quake, 3dchess - nothing works.
[02:08] <Enselic``> flsp: what happends if you try?
[02:08] <AmaroqWolf> soundray: awesome! Though it says that rsync has to be installed on both machines... I don't think a windows machine would have that, would it?
[02:08] <babo_> how do I find out whether one process in particular is page faulting or not ?
[02:09] <flsp> just a moment...
[02:09] <soundray> Slart: I've got fresh results from a comparison of a 3.2GHz P IV (32bit Mandrake) vs. Woodcrest Xeon 2.6 GHz (64bit Ubuntu). amd64 rocks.
[02:10] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: you can run rsync in Windows if you install cygwin. There may be standalone packages, too.
[02:10] <Nu3> Excuse me, how would you use a command such as sudo apt-get install build-essential gcc-3.4 nasm
[02:10] <AmaroqWolf> soundray: oh, okay
[02:10] <Nu3> I have no Idea what they are talking about when they say that.
[02:10] <Slart> soundray: the processor rocks.. yes.. but does the 64-bit OS make a large difference?
[02:11] <Enselic``> Nu3: you'd open a terminal, and write that (Ctrl + Shift + V is paste and terminal)
[02:11] <Enselic``> Nu3: a terminal is nice to have a shortcut to on a panel
[02:11] <Enselic``> Nu3: you find it in Program -> Accesories iirc
[02:11] <Enselic``> Nu3: just drag the icon onto the panel, so that you can open a terminal whenever you need
[02:11] <soundray> !unison | AmaroqWolf, another good one, with a Windows counterpart
[02:11] <Nu3> Enselic'' : Okay let me go see if I can find it.
[02:11] <ubotu> amaroqwolf, another good one, with a windows counterpart: unison: A file-synchronization tool for Unix and Windows. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.13.16-4ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 466 kB, installed size 1120 kB

[02:12] <Ogridi> Hi! I want to install Ubuntu on a stripe-set controlled by the nVidia-Chip on Asus A8N-E-Motherboard, but it just sees the two different harddisks and not the stripe-set
[02:12] <jussi01> !enter | enselic``
[02:12] <ubotu> enselic``: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[02:12] <soundray> Slart: oh, I'd have to put 32bit feisty on the Woodcrest machine to work that out ;)
[02:12] <Enselic``> jussi01: sure
[02:12] <Nu3> Enselic`` : I don't see anything with that name.
[02:12] <Slart> soundray: I'm thinking of doing a quick boot of a live cd just to do a little benchmarking.. see how big a difference it makes
[02:13] <shufla> hello. I've got situation similar to debian->ubuntu with packages. erp5 debs are created for debian/unstable. where may I find guidelines to ubuntize them?
[02:13] <Enselic``> Nu3: Program -> Accessories -> Terminal    is there no such entry?
[02:14] <flsp> ok, i'm back
[02:14] <flsp> i try to run googleearth:
[02:14] <britishseapower> anyone help with sound setup for me ? i get a system startup sound but nothing when i play an MP3 ? (i installed codecs with easyubuntu)
[02:14] <Nu3> Enselic`` : Oh sorry, I was looking for iirc, Yes it is there.
[02:14] <Enselic``> Nu3: iirc = if I recall corecctly ;)
[02:15] <Enselic``> Nu3: You can paste text into it with Ctrl + Shift + V, so copy the text from firefox and paste it into the commandline, then press enter
[02:15] <aflack> britishseapower; What are you using to play the mp3 files?
[02:15] <Nu3> Enselic`` : I don't understand what you mean?
[02:15] <flsp> then it returns: Google Earth has caught signal 11.
[02:15] <pkl> .part
[02:15] <Nu3> Enselic`` : n/m
[02:15] <soundray> shufla: I'd just install them with dpkg and see. If they don't try to overwrite anything in your system and don't fail any library dependencies, chances are that they will "just work".
[02:15] <flsp> and follows with a glibc stacktrace...
[02:16] <Enselic``> Nu3: it is possible to install the packages from Synaptic as well, but its much faster to use the commandline for this
[02:16] <britishseapower> aflack: default player - totem .
[02:16] <ok_now> hi, with which program can I open an .iso file in ubuntu
[02:16] <ok_now> ?
[02:16] <Slart> ok_now: mount or just open?
[02:16] <soundray> shufla: mixing debian and ubuntu is really dangerous if you do it at the repo level. At the package level, you can revert any change and get back to the previous state of the system.
[02:16] <britishseapower> aflack: same goes for an mpg film...no sound on that either
[02:17] <soundray> !mountiso | ok_now
[02:17] <ubotu> ok_now: 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
[02:17] <shufla> soundray: ok, sure :) but I'll be responsible for ubuntu's repositories for that system. I'm rebuilding them right now.
[02:17] <Ogridi> Hi! I want to install Ubuntu on a stripe-set controlled by the nVidia-Chip on Asus A8N-E-Motherboard, but it just sees the two different harddisks and not the stripe-set
[02:17] <ikonia_> Ogridi fake raid drivers do'nt work well in linux
[02:17] <Slart> ok_now: either way.. if you mount it you can at least read the stuff from it....sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 isoname mountpoint
[02:17] <soundray> shufla: oh, you're playing in a different league, then ;)
[02:18] <shufla> Ogridi: use software raid, I'm using it on production server with success.
[02:18] <osfameron> I apt-got mencoder, and now my audio is broken
[02:18] <ok_now> what is <mountpoint> ?!
[02:18] <osfameron> anyone suggest how to go about fixing my audio after mencoder broke it ?
[02:18] <revan> hi, when I try to play video in gxine, I can only hear the audio
[02:18] <revan> I'm trying to play wmvs on ubuntu edgy
[02:18] <Slart> ok_now: a directory where you access it.. for example /mnt/iso .. you have to create this directory yourself
[02:18] <soundray> shufla: I'd ask in #ubuntu-motu
[02:18] <ucordes> !md5
[02:18] <ubotu> To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows

[02:19] <britishseapower> anyone help with sound setup for me ? i get a system startup sound but nothing when i play an MP3 ? (i installed codecs with easyubuntu)...
[02:19] <ikonia_> flsp ask in the channel
[02:19] <Enselic``> !opengl | flsp
[02:19] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about opengl - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:19] <yomm> |mdadm |Ogridi
[02:19] <Enselic``> flsp: hmm, do you have opengl installed? the intel drivers should have opengl in them
[02:19] <yomm> !mdadm !Ogridi
[02:19] <ubotu> mdadm: tool to administer Linux MD device arrays (software RAID). In component main, is optional. Version 2.4.1-6ubuntu5.2 (edgy), package size 149 kB, installed size 456 kB
[02:20] <ikonia_> yomm he's trying to use fakeraid - not mdadm
[02:20] <Enselic``> flsp: I'll give you my xorg, I use 915GM, but I suppose they should be similar
[02:20] <flsp> how do i install opengl???
[02:20] <yomm> Ikonia , yes but someone suggested softraid ... indeed hw raid does NOT work well under linux
[02:20] <Enselic``> flsp: try sudo apt-get install opengl          but hang on, I'll give you my xorg.conf for comparision
[02:20] <ucordes> where can i find the md5 checksum for the edgy desktop cd?
[02:20] <flsp> ok
[02:21] <Nu3> Enselic`` : it does not seem to be working.
[02:21] <ikonia_> ucordes on the download site
[02:21] <ikonia_> flsp what exactly is the problem ?
[02:21] <Midazolam> hello, i am installing edgy on a softraid lvm system. i need to install the bootloader lilo, but it fails and says: error 1
[02:21] <yomm> imo MDADM is the best soft raid tool available
[02:21] <Enselic``> Nu3: the sudp apt-get install part?
[02:21] <Nu3> Enselic`` It reads that it is unable to find gcc-3.4
[02:21] <Nu3> Enselic`` : and yes.
[02:21] <ikonia_> Midazolam is your /boot volume part of a raid 5 or stripe ?
[02:21] <Midazolam> lilo package failed to install into target it says
[02:21] <Midazolam> striping
[02:21] <Enselic``> Nu3: hmm, and you have a dvd player? Is that only sourcecode you have then?
[02:22] <osfameron> !audio
[02:22] <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
[02:22] <ikonia_> Midazolam /boot must be on only a mirror - and the bootloader must be installed to raw devices, not volumes
[02:22] <Nu3> Enselic`` :Yes that is the only source code that they gave me to put in
[02:22] <flsp> ikonia: no 3d app works. I probably dont have opengl installed.
[02:22] <Enselic``> flsp: http://rafb.net/p/GPCxB683.html        It's quite customized, but opengl works for me
[02:22] <ikonia_> fslp what card do you have
[02:22] <Enselic``> Nu3: have you tried other dvd players?
[02:23] <Midazolam> so i have to set up raid 0 as normal and but i have to exclude boot from lvm, right?
[02:23] <ikonia_> Midazolam /boot can't be on raid0
[02:23] <ikonia_> and lilo should be installed to /dev/X not /boot
[02:23] <britishseapower> anyone help with sound setup for me ? i get a system startup sound but nothing when i play an MP3 ? (i installed codecs with easyubuntu)...
[02:23] <ikonia_> or /dev/md - it has to be a raw device not a raid/volume set
[02:23] <osrc_server_expe> ubuntu 6.10 where do i put the binary codes of mplayer?
[02:23] <Nu3> NO, I have just recently built this computer, THis dvd player has had problems playing dvd's before also, Bu tit had installed Linux into my computer fine
[02:23] <Nu3> .@ Enselic``
[02:24] <ikonia_> Nu3 surly its a problem with the dvd player then
[02:24] <tomcatt> !vmware
[02:24] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. For VMWare Server, instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware
[02:24] <osfameron> will uninstalling mencode fix whatever the installation of mencoder broke in my sound setup?
[02:24] <Enselic``> osrc_server_expe: have you sudo apt-get installed mplayer?
[02:25] <osrc_server_expe> Enselic``: Yes i alread did that
[02:25] <Raeth> Is there a way to use 'rename' recursively?
[02:25] <osrc_server_expe> Enselic``: but its not even playing mp3
[02:25] <Enselic``> !mp3 | osrc_server_expe

[02:25] <flsp> thanks Enselic - I'll give a look
[02:25] <Nu3> allright, i guess I need to go get a new Dvd player.
[02:25] <Nu3> See you later.

[02:27] <ikonia_> flsp thats not the driver - thats the output of lspci
[02:27] <ikonia_> flsp what video card driver are you using
[02:27] <Pici> I'm having irc deja vu
[02:27] <Midazolam> ok, im wondering tho: if i make a boot partition seperated from raid/lvm . how can i devide the partition size equally for raid?
[02:28] <ikonia_> Midazolam just leave 2 x 200 gb partitions on the front of both disk
[02:28] <ikonia_> then raid 5 the rest and use lvm
[02:28] <Raeth> My DVD writer seems to burn DVDs just fine, with the exeption of a few specific files. What of a file could be causing a DVD writer to error before writing anything?
[02:28] <Midazolam> 2 200 mb i suppose ;)
[02:28] <ikonia_> yup
[02:29] <flsp> ikonia, ok - i810 (in my xorg.conf)
[02:29] <Midazolam> okay, thanks a lot
[02:29] <ikonia_> perfect, so thats the right driver
[02:29] <ikonia_> Midazolam no problem
[02:29] <ikonia_> flsp do a man on glxgears and find the otion for verbose output
[02:32] <Midazolam> does my /boot directory have to be primary (as my raid is) and do i have to turn on bootable flag as well (which i did for my raid array too)
[02:34] <Enselic``> When I do 'sudo cat /dev/input/mice' and move around my mouse a bit, and the do Ctrl + C, the font of the terninal is completely messed up. Why is that and how do I fix it?
[02:34] <ikonia_> tput -smo
[02:34] <ikonia_> or tput -rset
[02:34] <ikonia_> reset
[02:34] <britishseapower> how come system startup sound plays, but an MP3 will not ? (i have installed codecs)
[02:35] <flsp> ikonia, No man entry for glxgears...
[02:35] <ikonia_> startup sound is not an mp3
[02:35] <britishseapower> ok...

[02:35] <ikonia_> fslp check the forums, I'm not on box with X so can't check
[02:35] <britishseapower> but in the sound preferecnes dialog....sounds dont play
[02:35] <britishseapower> when set to autodetect
[02:35] <britishseapower> but the login one does
[02:36] <Enselic``> ikonia_: it didnt work, but simply 'reset' did
[02:36] <flsp> ok, thanks anyway!
[02:37] <boci^> hi
[02:37] <britishseapower> ikonia_: i get a long beep tone when i click the Sound Playback Test.
[02:37] <boci^> How can I solve this problem? => http://rafb.net/p/tJY3c549.html
[02:39] <ikonia_> boci^ report it the packager
[02:39] <boci^> :|
[02:39] <lnxmomo> does anybody kno how to get wmv support for edgy 64 bit?
[02:39] <ikonia_> lnxmomo the wiki page on restricted formats explains the limitations
[02:39] <lnxmomo> do you have a link?
[02:39] <ikonia_> lnxmomo be aware that codec support is weak in 64bit
[02:39] <boci^> ikonia: ok but what is the volumeid package?
[02:40] <ikonia_> lnxmomo check the wiki for restricted formats
[02:40] <lnxmomo> :(
[02:40] <ikonia_> why :(
[02:40] <ikonia_> boci^ no idea
[02:42] <Midazolam> ikonia, id like to add one more question: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileServerOnLVMOnRAID1?highlight=%28raid%29 in this article they set the boot partition within the softraid 1 array. is this only possible with raid 1 ? just for my understanding
[02:42] <Icehawk78> Is Dovecot or Postfix an easier mailserver?
[02:42] <lnxmomo> :( because i want 64 bit as i think its faster when it comes to programing and folding@home yet it doesnt support wmv files
[02:42] <ikonia_> Midazolam yes mirroring only - striping is not advisable
[02:42] <ikonia_> dovecot is an imap
[02:42] <Midazolam> they eveb use it within the lvm... strange
[02:42] <ikonia_> lnxmomo thats the limits
[02:42] <Midazolam> a okay, got it then ;)
[02:42] <Icehawk78> Will it let me set up a pop3 server?
[02:43] <ikonia_> Midazolam its possible - just not wise
[02:43] <Midazolam> alright
[02:44] <KrAsHeR> hey anyone knows why my firefox windows goes black and white when i run something in java when under Beryl?
[02:45] <Icehawk78> Actually, I'll just explain what I want to do and hopefully someone can tell me what the easiest way to do it is. Wordpress will allow you to post automatically to a blog if you have a "secret" email with pop access that it can access, and will automatically post anything sent to that email. I'd like to be able to use this feature.
[02:45] <ikonia_> KrAsHeR #ubuntu-effects has beryl users
[02:46] <ant1matter> got a stupid question...i have downloaded a debian source package and it is installed ( can see with dpkg ) but its source. How do you build a deb package? i know how to build from source but not a DEB-SOURCE package
[02:46] <ant1matter> tx for any help
[02:46] <Dandre> hello all,
[02:47] <paradroid> Hi all. I would like to remove certain files that I have identified as duplicates using fdupes. The result has been refined via grep and the output written to a simple text file called "dupes".
[02:47] <unop> ant1matter,  how did you install this source package?
[02:47] <paradroid> Now I would like to pass the entries in "dupes" to rm.
[02:47] <yomm> KrAsHeR : /join #beryl :)
[02:48] <Icehawk78> paradroid: cat dupes.txt | while read filename
[02:48] <Icehawk78> do
[02:48] <Icehawk78> rm $filename
[02:48] <Icehawk78> done
[02:48] <mastermixer> someone please help me.. i've just installed wine on ubuntu 6.10 and when i type winecfg on the console, it freezes with a message about  "creating .wine directory"
[02:48] <unop> err .. rm "$filename"
[02:48] <paradroid> Icehawk78: Thanx. I actually just did a rm `cat dupes`
[02:48] <paradroid> ;)
[02:48] <unop> and it's better to use  find .. -print0  or xargs -0
[02:49] <Dandre> I am running ultravnc under wine on my ubuntu box with gnom. I wonder to know how I can have a display setting in which, for this application, there shouldn't be toolbar on to and bottom and also no title bar for the vnc viewer window
[02:49] <Icehawk78> Ah. I'm more familiar with scripting in Unix, so I'm not completely familiar with the nuances in Linux
[02:49] <ikonia_> Icehawk78 its exactly the same
[02:50] <ikonia_> find is exactly the same - rm is exactly the same, cat is exactly the same
[02:50] <ikonia_> just say "I don't know" rather than, oh I know how to shell script in unix not linux
[02:50] <unop> paradroid,  that works except when you have non-alphanumeric characters (espcially spaces which will bite) in dupes .. it's not safe tho
[02:50] <Icehawk78> ikonia: Sorry
[02:51] <ndlovu> if I'm using a "Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller", would intel_agp be the driver / kernel module?
[02:51] <ikonia_> Icehawk78 not a problem, I just hate weak excuses lke that
[02:51] <paradroid> unop: OK. I had no special characters in the filenames. Safety.. hm... ;)
[02:51] <ikonia_> ndlovu depends what for
[02:52] <ndlovu> ikonia, I'm trying to get suspend to work, and want to add it to the whitelist in /etc/default/acpi-support
[02:52] <ikonia_> thats goin g to be your video card interface module
[02:52] <ikonia_> so yes, add that one
[02:52] <unop> paradroid,  well consider this -- touch a b "a b"; ls -1 "a b" > dupes; rm `cat dupes`;  .. what do you think was deleted?
[02:52] <ndlovu> ikonia, thanks
[02:53] <paradroid> unop: Yeah, right. OK. I see... In the current case that was not a problem but for e. g. data-folder wide stuff my procedure would be problematic.
[02:54] <ant1matter> sorry - was afk - i installed it via adept
[02:54] <unop> paradroid,  but what i mean is, it's easy to get stuck into a routine and be comfortable with something like that until you realize one day you've deleted something very important
[02:55] <ant1matter> ( i installed the source package from adept )
[02:55] <paradroid> unop: True.
[02:55] <yomm> good point unop
[02:55] <apalmieri> how do i access my Ubuntu desktop from Windows XP?
[02:56] <apalmieri> I have enabled remote desktop
[02:57] <Trixsey> anyone around who knows matlab? :)
[02:57] <Trixsey> I'd be the happiest girl in the world if I'd get some help! :] 
[02:57] <yomm> apalmieri : do a "run" command , and type mstsc.exe
[02:57] <ikonia_> Trixsey used it on hpux
[02:57] <unop> google was created for happy people :] 
[02:58] <Lunar_Lamp> !shockwave
[02:58] <ubotu> Shockwave is currently only available for Windows. To run it under !Wine, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave
[02:58] <yomm> palmieri , then enter the IP adress of your ubuntu box
[02:58] <sexcopter> hi there, i called by earlier with a resolution problem with i810 driver. not managed to solve it =(
[02:59] <ikonia_> sexcopter no joy huh
[02:59] <ikonia_> sexcopter you've installed I assume
[02:59] <Trixsey> ikonia, got a minute? can I PM? >_<
[02:59] <ikonia_> Trixsey I'm on an unregistered nick, so I can't pm.Just ask in channel
[03:00] <Trixsey> this channel is so big :(
[03:00] <ikonia_> well its the only place to ask
[03:00] <Trixsey> ok sir
[03:00] <sexcopter> ikonia_: yeah. and ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. even googled the monitor and found (and corrected) the frequency ranges in xorg.cong. just not sure what else it can be
[03:00] <ikonia_> I assume you're running matlab on ubuntu
[03:00] <sharkp> !hi |sharkp
[03:01] <Trixsey> I'm making a string sorter in matlab.. to sort from shortest string to longest
[03:01] <Trixsey> http://www.pastebin.ca/363479
[03:01] <sexcopter> am tempted just jump boat and upgrade to edgy
[03:01] <Trixsey> this is what I've done so far
[03:01] <sharkp> !hi | sharkp
[03:01] <Trixsey> is it a good start?
[03:01] <sharkp> !hi |sharkp
[03:01] <Trixsey> can I get tips on how to continue? :(
[03:01] <sharkp> !hi | sharkp
[03:01] <Lunar_Lamp> Hmm, I've tried setting up shockwave to work through wine. It works fine if I run the windows version of firefox through wine.  However, when I try to embed that into the linux version using mozplugger, instead of the shockwave "applet" I get a small applet with the windows version of FF embedded in it...
[03:01] <ernz> Hi, I have a whole load of code and graphics I need to package and burn to a CD for posting. Is there a program that will encrypt and decrypt on another Ubuntu machine?
[03:02] <ikonia_> Trixsey that url is dead
[03:02] <ikonia_> Trixsey are you running matlab on ubuntu ?
[03:02] <sexcopter> ikonia_: do you think you might be able to help if i pastebin my xorf.conf file?
[03:03] <ikonia_> sexcopter yeah, good call. Sorry, I was slow in responding
[03:03] <paradroid> ernz: Don't know if it is a good idea but GnuPG will do symmetrical encryption. Or otherwise TrueCrypt. Just an idea.
[03:03] <Trixsey> ikonia, yes sir
[03:04] <Ferret> Lunar_Lamp: Well, one obvious fix would be for you to not have a windows version of firefox available at the time :)
[03:04] <Trixsey> ikonia, sorry.. its lagging I think.. I'll upload it elsewhere
[03:04] <Lunar_Lamp> Ferret, ?!
[03:04] <Ferret> Lunar_Lamp: Never mind, I'll have a look to see if I can find anyone else with the same problem ;p
[03:05] <Lunar_Lamp> Ferret, you need the windows version of firefox available, as there is no linux shockwave plugin available...
[03:05] <Trixsey> ikonia, http://rafb.net/p/kNahU012.html
[03:05] <Ferret> Lunar_Lamp: I was suggesting installing the windows shockwave plugin in wine, but not the windows version of firefox
[03:05] <Lunar_Lamp> Ferret, ah, I get you.
[03:06] <ikonia_> Trixsey you need matlab support - thats nothing to do with ubuntu
[03:06] <ernz> paradroid. I can't see truecrypt anywhere - I found something called ccrypt?
[03:06] <Trixsey> ikonia, ya
[03:06] <Trixsey> ikonia, there is no #matlab
[03:06] <ikonia_> no - its a comercial product
[03:06] <Trixsey> ikonia, pls pls help sir :(
[03:06] <sexcopter> ikonia_: thanks, sorry was a bit slow in loading, but it's here http://pastebin.com/884383
[03:07] <ikonia_> sexcopter looking
[03:07] <paradroid> ernz: I'm not quite sure if I got your request right, though. Anyway, TrueCrypt is available here: http://www.truecrypt.org/downloads.php
[03:07] <Erb_> Is there a phone/handheld simulator for Linux/Ubuntu
[03:07] <sexcopter> ok ikonia_, you're already a * to me :)
[03:08] <ikonia_> Erb_ not sure about ubuntu but there is a nokia emmulator, not sure if its modern enouogh for symbiant
[03:08] <unop> Trixsey,  does it have to be in matlab?
[03:08] <ikonia_> sexcopter what resolution are you getting ?
[03:08] <sexcopter> ikonia_: 640
[03:08] <Dextorion> hi
[03:09] <ikonia_> sexcopter try removing all the modlines apart from this one

[03:10] <hjmills> hi al
[03:10] <goundy> I'm about installing enemy territory
[03:10] <hjmills> s/al/all
[03:10] <goundy> and i've this:
[03:10] <goundy> ./setup.sh: line 143: 11261 Erreur de segmentation  "$setup" "$@" 2>>$NULL
[03:10] <goundy> The setup program seems to have failed on x86/glibc-2.1
[03:10] <goundy> do you know wtf ?
[03:10] <ernz> paradroid. Sorry dude, let me clarify. I have a few web pages and grphx saved on my desktop. I need to encrypt these into a single file (keeping the folder structure if possible) and send that file on a cd by post. Should truecrypt do the job?
[03:10] <ikonia_> seg fault - incompatible - speak to vendor
[03:10] <krantix> hi! i'm trying to move my /home folder to another partition... what is the best cp command to use? i tryed this but i get an error  find . -depth -print0 | cpio null sparse -pvd /media/moon/
[03:11] <hjmills> goundy, have you got the glibc dev package installed?
[03:11] <ikonia_> krantix just tar it up] 
[03:11] <goundy> hjmills, it's installed by default with gnome no?
[03:11] <Ferret> Lunar_Lamp: Ah, I think I know what it is
[03:11] <mickstephenson> I am having the wierdest problem, when I run users admin with gksu it doesnt ask for a password, and i get the error "GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
[03:11] <mickstephenson> Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed." I therefore cannot add any users, whenever I try, the users are not saved, and disappear when I reload the program. I have ran it with sudo, gksudo and from a root terminal.
[03:11] <Ferret> Lunar_Lamp: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave => look at the mozpluggerrc section
[03:11] <[Ayanami] > Right, I have a new mission in life. Getting my USB bluetooth dongle and my little headset to work in Edgy and Ekiga
[03:11] <krantix> ikonia, does it preserve all the soft links etc etc???
[03:11] <hjmills> goundy, no - not the dev packages as they are normally only needed when compiling but maybe et needs them
[03:11] <ikonia_> krantix man tar - it can do
[03:11] <Ferret> Lunar_Lamp: the -chrome bit is probably what you're missing
[03:12] <goundy> hjmills, i'll try to get i thanks
[03:12] <hjmills> [Ayanami] , a noble mission in deed! I would do likewise but the headset and dongle I ordered a month ago still hasn't shipped
[03:12] <Lunar_Lamp> Fergy, it's there exactly.
[03:12] <paradroid> ernz: Well, yes. You can create a container (file) with TrueCrypt, which can be copied to any data medium you wish. TrueCrypt needs to be installed on the other machine as well, though.
[03:12] <_Rappy_> I've apt-get installed irda from but lubuntu won't recognize my mobilephine when IR is turned on. any hacking needed?
[03:12] <[Ayanami] > I got mine from ebay. :( Its not the best, but it works.
[03:12] <[Ayanami] > Well, with their proprietary drivers in XP, it works.
[03:13] <mickstephenson> has anyone checked out my problem?
[03:13] <ikonia_> _Rappy_ you need software to work with your mobile phone - IR just transmits communication
[03:13] <paradroid> ernz: You can also do self-extracting cabinets with GnuPG, if I'm not mistaken relieving the burden of having to install software on a foreign machine.
[03:13] <ernz> paradroid: Ahh, there used to be an app called Steganos Suite, which could make a single file which could be mounted using a password as a virtual disk. Is this the same?
[03:13] <Lunar_Lamp> Ferret, that is, my mozpluggerrc is identical - and I've tried both configurations (with and without stream)
[03:13] <goundy> hjmills, there's no glibc-dev when I apt-cache search oO
[03:13] <Akonbobot> paranoid: Can I safely shred on a truecrypt partition?
[03:13] <ernz> paradroid: Steganos was for winblows
[03:13] <paradroid> ernz: TrueCrypt does this.
[03:13] <ikonia_> goundy its not called glibc dev
[03:13] <goundy> hjmills, libuclibc-dev  <---- ?
[03:13] <[Ayanami] > Now, for my stupid question of the day.
[03:13] <kron> hi
[03:13] <[Ayanami] > The latest stable IS Edgy, right?
[03:13] <paradroid> ernz: No GUI for Linux, though, just CLI.
[03:14] <ikonia_> [Ayanami]  yes
[03:14] <goundy> [Ayanami] , dapper is more stable than edgy
[03:14] <ernz> paradroid: Aww :(
[03:14] <defrysk> no it isnt
[03:14] <Trixsey> feisty is more stable than edgy :p
[03:14] <[Ayanami] > True, but Edgy is what one downloads unless getting "beta" or whatever its called.
[03:14] <unop> ernz,  pretty easy if you use openssl and blowfish encryption - tar cvf my_zip.tar "files to include"; bzip2 -9 my_zip.tar.bz2; openssl bf <myzip.tar.bz2> myzip.tar.bz2.bf
[03:14] <_Rappy_> ikonia : it works native in (swaer word comming) windows. No need for any extra programs there
[03:14] <paradroid> ernz: But TrueCrypt works under MS Windows as well,so you can actually move encrypted data between platforms, which is nice.
[03:14] <ikonia_> _Rappy_ thats windows - not linux
[03:14] <krantix> ikonia, can i use archive manager?
[03:14] <paradroid> ernz: And there is a GUI for Windows :)
[03:14] <mickstephenson> edgy isn't a beta, its just buggy
[03:15] <goundy> I prefer dapper
[03:15] <ikonia_> krantix up to you
[03:15] <lazzareth> Gday #Ubuntu
[03:15] <goundy> it handle my laptop alim system better
[03:15] <defrysk> edgy runs better then dapper
[03:15] <ernz> unop, thanks, but will that work on windows?
[03:15] <[Ayanami] > Anyone know if bluetooth headsets have been made to work without going through KDE?
[03:15] <unop> ernz,  there are quite a ew steganographic filesystems for linux too
[03:15] <kron> i have a problem, i wanna start with winxp on my grub but i cann't start ubuntu
[03:15] <Hoxzer> where is /etc/modules.conf located in ubuntu?
[03:15] <ikonia_> defrysk thats personal option
[03:15] <ikonia_> opinion
[03:15] <mickstephenson> /etc/modules
[03:15] <krantix> ikonia do i need to use any special parameters on the tar?
[03:15] <ikonia_> krantix yes, thats why I told you to "man tar"
[03:15] <paradroid> Hoxzer: locate modules.conf
[03:15] <defrysk> ikonia, the other opinion is aswell ikonia
[03:15] <unop> ernz,  errm, if windows has a compatible program to decrypt the blowfish algortithm, then yes
[03:15] <mickstephenson> there is no modules.conf
[03:16] <ikonia_> defrysk pardon ?
[03:16] <kron> i have a problem, i wanna start with winxp on my grub but i cann't start ubuntu
[03:16] <defrysk> that dapper is more stable
[03:16] <unop> ernz, err, decrypt a file encrypted with blowfish, i.e.
[03:16] <linuxgx> is there any app that will run wmv files inside firefox?
[03:16] <rpedro> hello people, can someone recommend the currently best method to get read/write capabilities to NTFS filesystems? I heard there was a project nearing v1.0 status..
[03:16] <ikonia_> kron what happens when you select ubuntu from grub
[03:16] <Akonbobot> paranoid: hi. if you re compile the kernel, do you have to re do anything in truecrypt?
[03:16] <ikonia_> rpedro ntfs3g - but I wouldn't use it as its not without risk
[03:17] <sexcopter> gah, still no joy ikonia_. It broke xserver, but i changed the mode to 16 and rebooted and it's working just as before, 640 :s
[03:17] <goundy> ikonia, I couldn't found the glibc dev package name :s do you know it ?
[03:17] <krantix> ikonia... any direct tar command to use? just to be sure i don't miss anything in the man
[03:17] <linuxgx> is there any app that will run wmv files inside firefox?
[03:17] <krantix> hi! i'm trying to move my /home folder to another partition... what is the best cp command to use? i tryed this but i get an error  find . -depth -print0 | cpio null sparse -pvd /media/moon/ ?? thanks
[03:17] <paradroid> Akonbobot: I haven't had the "opportunity" to test this, but I think I read that yes...
[03:17] <unop> ernz,  if you have zip installed, it can encrypt files
[03:17] <sexcopter> ikonia_: do you think there's milage in upgrading to edgy? I might browse the forums some more
[03:17] <ikonia_> krantix just man it and work it it out
[03:17] <ikonia_> sexcopter no I don't
[03:17] <fredl> which kernel version is going to be released in Fiesty?>
[03:17] <ikonia_> sexcopter try the changes I suggested
[03:18] <ikonia_> krantix I've told you the answer - you don't need to repeat the question again and again
[03:18] <ikonia_> krantix use tar
[03:18] <[Ayanami] > Um... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bluetooth?highlight=%28bluetooth%29
[03:18] <[Ayanami] > Does this wiki entry mean that its still alpha work in progress?
[03:18] <Ferret> Lunar_Lamp: In the first version, try "$file" or "file://z:/$file" at the end instead of "file://Z:$file"
[03:18] <sexcopter> ikonia_: I did. I deleted all modes except 24 bit and all resolutions except 1024. that broke xserver, but reverting to 16 bit fixed it (but still not 1024!)
[03:18] <paradroid> unop: Right, maybe all the GnuPG/TrueCrypt stuff is little overkill ;)
[03:18] <ernz> paradroid: I created a volume, how to I mount it?
[03:18] <kron> can anybody help me?
[03:18] <ikonia_> ahhh right
[03:19] <Ferret> krantix: cp -av
[03:19] <Lunar_Lamp> Ferret, ok.
[03:19] <ikonia_> kron yes - I've told you the answer
[03:19] <Akonbobot> paradroid: sorry (sp). you read what? truecrypt would have to adjusted after a kernel re compile?
[03:19] <goundy> ikonia, ?
[03:19] <ikonia_> goundy ?
[03:19] <krantix> ferret thanks! does this copy really everything :-) ?
[03:19] <goundy> ikonia, u've not seen my question? :p
[03:19] <paradroid> Akonbobot: Yes, right. I believe I read that on a forum. So far I have no experience concerning this myself - so I am just guessing.
[03:19] <unop> Paranoid, ernz,  turn's out zip is pretty easy -- zip -e -9 zipname.zip *files*;   to unzip -- unzip zipname.zip
 ikonia, I couldn't found the glibc dev package name :s do you know it ?
[03:19] <ikonia_> goundy thats why I was speaking to kron
[03:19] <kron> ikonia_ sorry, says again... i couldn0t see
[03:19] <Ferret> krantix: Yes; files, permissions, timestamps, special files -- everything except sparse files (which you won't have)
[03:20] <ikonia_> kron use tar
[03:20] <kron> tar?
[03:20] <Lunar_Lamp> Ferret, "$file" gives same result
[03:20] <goundy> ouych
[03:20] <krantix> ferret, thanks i'll give it a try :-)
[03:20] <Akonbobot> paradroid: Thank you.
[03:20] <ikonia_> kron sorry - wrong person
[03:20] <ikonia_> kron apologies
[03:20] <Talaman> preferences not listed in system menu...how do i find/ correct this?
[03:20] <Ferret> ikonia_: There's a magic linux command for copying files.  You'd never believe what it was called
[03:20] <anto1> strange..
[03:21] <ernz> unop: that is certainly another way of doing it, thanks.
[03:21] <ikonia_> Ferret I'd guess tar
[03:21] <paradroid> ernz: In case you still want to play around with TrueCrypt. Create a mount directory (e. g. /media/crypt) and then do truecrypt path/to/container /media/crypt -u
[03:21] <ikonia_> which is what I suggested to him
[03:21] <lazzareth> I am looking for a viable alternative to Microsoft's Exchange Server, Google search results has been inconclusive with all the microsoft FUD in the way. Because: This is the one factor that remains in stoping the deployment of linux in my workplace, I would like to change that.
[03:21] <Ferret> ikonia_: Call me old fashioned but I tend to use cp, it works for some strange reason
[03:21] <ikonia_> lazzareth novell has a product on suse thats a straight replacment
[03:21] <anto1> when i try to boot with grub my system cant boot the default kernel.. but if i boot with livecd and select to boot from first hdd my ubuntu boots. what can i do?
[03:21] <unop> paradroid,  overkill, well -- TrueCrypt maybe -- but pgp would be good if you want to to use public/private keys .. which then ensures that the intended recepient is the only one who can open the contents
[03:21] <ikonia_> Ferret yup - he said he wanted an archive
[03:21] <Ferret>  <krantix> hi! i'm trying to move my /home folder to another partition...
[03:22] <ernz> paradroid: Hmmm: I am getting error "Cannot read volume header: Is a directory"
[03:22] <lazzareth> ikonia_ is it a suse only application?
[03:22] <Ferret> He could even just use mv o.o
[03:22] <Talaman> preferences not listed in system menu...how do i find/ correct this?????
[03:22] <ikonia_> Ferret later on he said he wanted to create and archive - he was trying with cpio
[03:22] <Lunar_Lamp> Ferret, "file://z:/$file" asks me to download the file.
[03:22] <ikonia_> lazzareth not sure, the polished product is
[03:22] <ikonia_> lazzareth there may be an open version
[03:22] <lazzareth> Thanks ikonia_ ill look into it.
[03:23] <Ferret> Lunar_Lamp: Hrrmm, OK, hang on a sec
[03:23] <Akonbobot> Hi all. when I re compile a new kernel, I'm not sure exactly what else has to re compile? i.e. modules etc.
[03:23] <ikonia_> Akonbobot then you shouldn't be buildingkernels
[03:23] <Lunar_Lamp> (adding steam into it doesn't work either)
[03:23] <Frogzoo> Akonbobot: the lot
[03:23] <Akonbobot> I'm learning building kernels now.
[03:23] <paradroid> ernz: Please give me your command input.
[03:23] <ardchoille> When I "file filename.deb" I get Debian binary package as a return. I thought "binary" meant is was compiled. Isn't a .deb just a compressed archive? Like a .tar.bz2 or something?
[03:24] <kondor21> thanks to all those that helped me add a hard drive to my system.  took me ages to figure it out, if there is one thing that needs some automation that is it
[03:24] <paradroid> ernz: It should e. g. be truecrypt /home/ernz/crypt.tc /media/crypt -u
[03:24] <unop> ardchoille,  a .deb is just an archive like .zip or .tar.gz etc
[03:24] <ernz> ernz@ErnzPC:~$ sudo truecrypt -M tc.enc /home/ernz/package -u
[03:24] <ardchoille> unop: That's what I thought.
[03:24] <Akonbobot> Frogzoo: the lot ?
[03:24] <CheshireViking> sexcopter, i've seen your problem for your resolution, i'm using a laptop at the moment with intel i810 driver running at 1024x on a Dell laptop, if ikonia_ thinks it may help, i can pastebin it for comparison
[03:24] <ernz> paradroid: ernz@ErnzPC:~$ sudo truecrypt -M tc.enc /home/ernz/package -u
[03:25] <unop> archangelpetro,  but binary in this context means non-text .. i.e. it contains non-printable characters
[03:25] <ikonia_> CheshireViking won't matter as the i810 driver is for multiple intel cards, and monitors
[03:25] <unop> ardchoille,  ^^
[03:25] <Talaman> preferences not listed in system menu...how do i find/ correct this?????
[03:25] <sexcopter> CheshireViking: if you don't mind, can't do any harm!
[03:25] <unop> sorry archangelpetro
[03:25] <anto1> what is the default root password?
[03:25] <paradroid> oops ;)
[03:25] <ardchoille> unop: Oh, ok, that explains the return.
[03:25] <ikonia_> anto1 there sin't one
[03:25] <ikonia_> isn't one
[03:25] <joh> Isn't there NTFS write-support on the LiveCDs?
[03:25] <Frogzoo> Akonbobot: kernel/modules/initrd - everything
[03:25] <ikonia_> joh no
[03:26] <anto1> su: Authentication failure
[03:26] <ikonia_> sexcopter actually it can do harm if he's not using identical hardware to you
[03:26] <paradroid> ernz: So you created a container doing "truecrypt -c" right?
[03:26] <ikonia_> anto1 read the basics on http://www.ubuntu.com
[03:26] <Akonbobot> Frogzoo: Thank you for taking my question seriously.
[03:26] <CheshireViking> ikonia_, ok, i thought i'd make the offer just in case, no point adding anything else to that might confuse things
[03:26] <unop> ernz,  even after zip you want to use truecrypt? how're the windows recepients going to open up the encrypted file?
[03:26] <ikonia_> CheshireViking it was a good offer
[03:26] <sebrock> is it possible to do a wake on lan with a wireless pci interface?
[03:26] <joh> ikonia_: Any idea how to get it working on a livecd?
[03:26] <ikonia_> joh install and configure it
[03:27] <ernz> unop: Please see my first post.
[03:27] <joh> ikonia_: install ubuntu or install ntfs support on the livecd?
[03:27] <ikonia_> joh ntfs write support
[03:27] <unop> ernz,  never mind, i cant be asked to do that :) .. you've got your reasons
[03:27] <joh> ikonia_: Ok, the ntfs-3g package?
[03:27] <tuskernini> Where do i get KOPETE with jingle support for edgy?
[03:27] <ikonia_> joh thats part of it
[03:27] <ikonia_> tuskernini the ubuntu repos ?
[03:28] <joh> ikonia_: Ok thanks
[03:28] <CheshireViking> ikonia_, i've had help from here in the past, so i'm willing to help if i can, i'll go back to lurking now :)
[03:28] <ernz> unop: Encrypted info is being sent to a fellow Linux machine. Thanks anyway though ;)
[03:28] <ernz> paradroid: Container created, yes. Maybe I created it wrongly?
[03:28] <tuskernini> ikonia, i have kopete .. the latest... but it does not support jingle... or i dont know how to set it up... want to talk using google talk
[03:28] <paradroid> I think unop is referring to the fact that no further software is needed with zip.
[03:28] <babo> I downloaded and installed the extra alsa drivers. Now my microphone isn't working anymore ...
[03:29] <crimsun> babo: more details?
[03:29] <unop> paradroid,  but unzip is needed .. and its not available universally
[03:29] <babo> ... and the little desktop sound applet has disappeared
[03:29] <ernz> paradroid: I have a file sitting in my home dir atm called tc.enc @ 200MB as I specified. What's the procedure for setting up a vol?
[03:29] <prairie_dad> this is really a xubuntu question, but can I use Thunar (or something else that _isn't_ full of Gnomish deps) to mount a webdav via https://   ?  I can do it in Ubuntu/Gnome with Nautilus, but think I would rather not bother to use Nautilus (for speed's sake, on a PIII 733 with 256 meg of RAM) if I don't have to.  it's XFCE/GTK+ all the way on this box, if I can.
[03:29] <babo> crimsun: hmmm ... edgy, Intel soundcard, microphone won't work ... (alsa)
[03:29] <lnxmomo> can anyone give me a link to how to install mplayer32 so that i can use it on firefox32 on my 64-bit system
[03:29] <crimsun> babo: no. See DebuggingSoundProblems, pastebin the output, tell me the URL.
[03:29] <paradroid> ernz: OK.You need some directory to mount it to, so either use an existing one or create one.
[03:29] <lnxmomo> please
[03:30] <klorex> :)
[03:30] <babo> crimusn: where is DebuggingSoundProblems ?
[03:30] <ernz> paradroid: Just made a dir: /home/ernz/package
[03:30] <crimsun> babo: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems
[03:30] <Trunkz> lnxmomo: mplayer doesnt work well on Firefox..
[03:31] <paradroid> ernz: OK. Now try: truecrypt /home/ernz/tc.enc /home/ernz/package -u
[03:31] <lnxmomo> it does
[03:31] <Trunkz> u keep saying that xD
[03:31] <lnxmomo> i had it working perfectly in a 3-bit environment
[03:31] <lnxmomo> *32-bit
[03:31] <Trunkz> Maybe one day they'll fix the firefox plugin
[03:31] <lnxmomo> played everything i threw at it online
[03:31] <ernz> paradroid: It says root priv. required...so I run as sudo....
[03:31] <Trunkz> Odd.. ur the first person then xD
[03:32] <lnxmomo> lol
[03:32] <Trunkz> Mine refuses to play anything
[03:32] <Trunkz> just says connecting to server <wtv>
[03:32] <lnxmomo> i got flash and java emulated in 32bit for firefox32
[03:32] <babo> crimsun: what happened to the little sound applet with the mute button on it ? I hate terminal alsamixer ...
[03:32] <paradroid> ernz: Oh yeah, sorry, I forgot. Do a sudo chmod u+s /usr/bin/truecrypt
[03:32] <Trunkz> In the end, I gave up.. removed it, and use totem-mozilla for firefox * yawn *
[03:32] <lnxmomo> lol
[03:32] <paradroid> ernz: Then any user can use truecrypt
[03:32] <crimsun> babo: you unloaded the sound driver; of course it won't be visible.
[03:32] <Trunkz> lnxmomo: This is cos you love me: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_Mplayer32_with_Plugin_for_Firefox32
[03:32] <Trunkz> Enjoy :)
[03:32] <mazzen> hi! i can remember that for ubuntu 6.06 there were updates for gnome (gnome 2.14.2 and 2.14.3). so i thought these updates would be seen as "security updates". so i wonder if there are gnome updates planend for 6.10 or not.
[03:33] <Trunkz> lnxmomo: here's the distro: deb http://ubuntu.moshen.de/ edgy misc multimedia
[03:33] <kron> how can i modified the grub without start ubuntu?
[03:34] <Trunkz> I guess, just do aptitude install mozilla-mplayer (or mplayer-mozilla, whichever way it is)
[03:34] <mazzen> or do i have somthing missing in my sources.list?
[03:34] <lnxmomo> thx :)
[03:35] <kron> how can i modified the grub without start ubuntu?
[03:35] <iroc> <--now downloading 32 bit kubuntu
[03:35] <ikonia_> edit the menu.lst file
[03:35] <iroc> lol
[03:35] <babo> crimsun: you want the whole thing ?
[03:35] <mike1o> is there any driver for xerox workcentre pro 412?
[03:35] <SalesChild> DCC SEND abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
[03:35] <ikonia_> mike1o check the cups project
[03:35] <crimsun> babo: no, I want the pastebin URL.
[03:35] <pr0t0type> hi all
[03:35] <Trunkz> LOL
[03:35] <babo> crimsun: right. You want the whole thing in the pastebin ? all commands and output ?
[03:36] <Trunkz> That was funny xD
[03:36] <mike1o> ikonia, i doesnt have it :-(... just wondering if there was a similar/compatible driver
[03:36] <paradroid> mazzen: mozilla-mplayer is in multiverse
[03:36] <crimsun> babo: yes.
[03:36] <mike1o> !pastebin
[03:36] <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)
[03:37] <pr0t0type> what do i have to do when i want to access the media folder from anywhere ? whats the comment ?
[03:37] <ernz> paradroid: http://www.pastebin.ca/363522
[03:37] <mazzen> paradroid: thanks, but i dindnt asked for mozilla-mplayer :). i was wondering if gnome 2.16.2 or even better gnome 2.16.3 will be there for ubuntu 6.10
[03:37] <zmeiat_joro> should I be worried that any firefox extensions I try to install from the official website are "unsigned"
[03:38] <paradroid> ernz: Uhm... :/
[03:38] <ernz> paradroid: Hmmmmm :|
[03:38] <mazzen> i do know that only security updates are backported for ubuntu. but as for 6.06 these updates are available, i was asking myself if this will happen for 6.10 too
[03:38] <iroc> ubuntu 6.10 and kubuntu 6.10 are basicly the same thing just different environments right?
[03:38] <edolo> hi, i've just installed ubuntu and i have a problem: i can't hear any sound
[03:39] <crimsun> edolo: pastebin all the output requested at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems and tell me the URL.
[03:39] <paradroid> ernz: That's weird since creating the container seemed to work fine for you...
[03:39] <babo> crimsun: right, just a sec I'm doing it now
[03:39] <ernz> paradroid: Ill make a new volume
[03:39] <ernz> paradroid: Normal/Hidden?
[03:40] <paradroid> ernz: Go for a normal one.
[03:40] <thc|idle> afternoon :)
[03:40] <babo> crimsun: http://www.pastebin.ca/363526
[03:40] <ernz> paradroid: File/Device path?
[03:40] <thc|idle> i'm still upset about my ooooold ATI gfx card
[03:40] <paradroid> ernz: /home/ernz/tc.enc
[03:41] <thc|idle> i think i need to buy a new one...
[03:41] <ernz> paradroid: FAT/None?
[03:41] <paradroid> ernz: Up to you, if you choose None you will have to mkfs later on.
[03:41] <paradroid> ernz: Use FAT for now. ;)
[03:42] <thc|idle> busy in here
[03:42] <ernz> paradroid: Fatty fat fat fat it is....
[03:42] <paradroid> ernz: :)
[03:42] <LordUltimaDavid> what are the latest nvidia(beta) drivers that work with the Geforce 4s?
[03:42] <ernz> paradroid: 200M - What Hash type?
[03:42] <Unox> Hi, Beryl won't work, I've already tried a complete removal, and then installing it again, Beryl is running and all, but there's no effect
[03:42] <paradroid> ernz: Just use default Hash and Encryption by simply hitting Return
[03:42] <crimsun> babo: sec, on the phone
[03:42] <LordUltimaDavid> Unox: did you install via aiglx?
[03:43] <babo> crimsun: k thanks
[03:43] <Unox> LordUltimaDavid: no, the other one
[03:43] <paradroid> Unox: Do you have the beryl symbol sitting in the sys tray?
[03:43] <ernz> paradroid: Keyfile path?
[03:43] <LordUltimaDavid> Unox: XGL?
[03:43] <Unox> paradroid: yes

[03:43] <Unox> LordUltimaDavid: yes
[03:43] <paradroid> ernz: Use none (simply Return)
[03:43] <babo> crimsun: I wonder if this is the problem ? Simple mixer control 'Mic Bypass',0
[03:44] <paradroid> Unox: Right click on it, Choose Window manager and go for Beryl (if not checked)

[03:44] <kron> ikonia_ where i put that?
[03:45] <Ferret> LordUltimaDavid: I'm checking it out now.
[03:45] <ikonia_> kron /boot/grub
[03:45] <LordUltimaDavid> Ferret: thanks
[03:45] <ernz> paradroid: Damnit.
[03:45] <ernz> paradroid: :)
[03:45] <Unox> paradroid: thanks it worked
[03:45] <kron> ikonia_ but the problem is that i cann't start ubuntu
[03:45] <paradroid> ernz: So you did the mouse action for random data, the container was "formatted"
[03:45] <yomm> How can I disable my onboard audio in Edgy ? (I'm using a PCI SoundBlaster instead Audigy 4) The onboard Audio is disabled in BIOS , but apparently Edgy still sees it  & alsa gets confused sometimes on which card to use !
[03:45] <ikonia_> kron then don't ask how to edit grub -

[03:46] <hjmills> how do i encrypt a single file or archive?
[03:46] <ImWindowsFree> hi did anyone here my quesiotn?
[03:46] <ernz> paradroid: Mouse data was collected to 100% and file created
[03:47] <joh> Anyone know if the intel 3945abg is supported on ubuntu (liveCD)?
[03:47] <kron> ikonia_ puts this uncompressing linux...ok, booting the kernel
[03:47] <LordUltimaDavid> !nvidia9

[03:47] <paradroid> ernz: And still a "truecrypt /home/ernz/tc.enc /home/ernz/package -u" gives you an error...
[03:47] <kron> and then busybox

[03:48] <ikonia_> kron you'll need to re-install ubuntu
[03:48] <okias> Hi, i need help i have 220G pratition(sda5) with ext3 and i have 210G used, but i dont have any free space?!

[03:49] <kron> ok thanx
[03:49] <Question> hi everyone please help i need to know how to unlock a folder
[03:49] <ikonia_> Question how is it locked?
[03:49] <royel> My firefox icon shows is a blue earth, yet if I switch users to my wifes account hers has the "Official" firefox icon, I checked the icon path an they are both set to the same exact icon, hers even shows up as the blue icon when you click properties, yet it uses the "official" icon, any clues?
[03:49] <okias> ikonia_: /dev/sda5             221G  212G     0 100% /media/data
[03:49] <ikonia_> okias youre file system is full
[03:49] <paradroid> ernz: Download this container here and try if you can mount it:http://sylvan.mm.st/test.tc
[03:50] <edward_> HEllo
[03:50] <Question> ikonia_:well it has a lock symbol and will only let the user at it... its my music and id rather not use the sudo in terminal everytime
[03:50] <Ferret> aes-crypt, bcrypt, ccrypt, mcrypt
[03:50] <ikonia_> Question change the permissions on it
[03:50] <okias> ikonia_: /dev/sda5             221G  !!!212G!!     0 100% /media/data
[03:50] <ikonia_> okias yes - its out of disk space
[03:51] <royel> Question: # sudo chmod 777 /file/path
[03:51] <paradroid> okias: Do you have backup stuff running to that device?
[03:51] <ikonia_> you're probably writing in 8 meg blocks or something
[03:51] <Question> ikonia_: omg i feel dumb lol thx
[03:51] <ernz> paradroid: Passwd?
[03:51] <apalmieri> C compiler cannot create executables
[03:51] <paradroid> ernz: Guess. ;) It's "test".
[03:51] <apalmieri> what kind of pkg do i need to install?
[03:51] <edward_> Running the updater I get the message "E: dpkg was interrupted..." what do I do
[03:51] <ernz> paradroid: Same err code
[03:51] <ikonia_> apalmieri apt-get install build-essentials
[03:51] <okias> paradroid: i dont know :-(
[03:51] <edward_> says to manually run something
[03:51] <hjmills> mwe, do you have any idea where i can find my user id for gpg?
[03:52] <paradroid> ernz: Damn. I'm sorry.
[03:52] <Question> while im here does anyone know about how to make cell phones work on ubuntu?
[03:52] <ernz> paradroid: Maybe a restart will work
[03:52] <edward_> when I try to do that in the terminal
[03:52] <ikonia_> Question depends what phone
[03:52] <apalmieri> could not find build-essentials
[03:52] <Question> moto v360
[03:52] <apalmieri> I dont have an internet connection on that box but the 6.10 CD
[03:52] <edward_> it says super user pribilages required
[03:52] <ikonia_> apalmieri search for build-es (my spelling may be off)
[03:52] <ikonia_> edward_ so run it through sudo
[03:52] <paradroid> okias: If you don't know, then probably not and it's "just" all your data cluttering that device. ;)
[03:52] <edward_> whats that? "sudo"
[03:52] <ikonia_> Question no idea if its even supported
[03:52] <apalmieri> there we go
[03:52] <apalmieri> its build-essential
[03:53] <ikonia_> !sudo >edward_
[03:53] <Question> ikonia_:iv looked and it say i need a windows driver but i dont have windows
[03:53] <yomm> How can i start an app on another terminal,from the terminal ? e.g TOP
[03:53] <ikonia_> yomm you can't really
[03:53] <ikonia_> your'd have to redirect the output
[03:53] <ikonia_> you'd
[03:53] <hjmills> how do i find my gpg user id?
[03:53] <yomm> ikonia , or write a lil script
[03:53] <Question> ikonia_:and it wont let me download it anywhere... if found a program called motolin
[03:54] <royel> !root | edward_
[03:54] <ubotu> edward_: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[03:54] <ikonia_> yomm a little script to do what ?
[03:54] <Ferret> LordUltimaDavid: As far as I can tell the only thing they did with 97xx was add geforce 8 support
[03:54] <yomm> ikonia to open apps in term e.g insert text output as cmd in newly launched term
[03:54] <Question> ikonia_: anywho i guess im not that smart at linux ill just haft to get windows back on my computer for my phone hacking
[03:54] <Ferret> LordUltimaDavid: They were fixing bugs in geforce 3/4 in the 96xx series, so it would be odd to remove that support entirely a month later o.O
[03:55] <apalmieri> error: Cant locate python headers
[03:55] <ikonia_> yomm I just told you - you'd need to re-direct the output.Thats nothing to do with a single command or a script
[03:55] <edward_> Well gnome linux aint as friendly as I expe cted
[03:55] <ikonia_> Question ok
[03:55] <edward_> I still have noio idea what im doing
[03:55] <apalmieri> which package installs the python headers?
[03:55] <paradroid> hjmills: You can do a gpg --list-keys in a terminal and look for it
[03:55] <lufi1> I installed KDE, used it, and decided to stick with gnome. But now my gtk apps have kde color schemes and look fugly. What to do?
[03:55] <edward_> !sudo
[03:55] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[03:55] <Anderson1> Why do I have a folder for kernel 2.6.17.3.emp3, and what is the signifigance of that, as opposed to 2.6.17-10-386
[03:55] <paradroid> edward_: Takes a couple of hours to get used to. ;)
[03:56] <LordUltimaDavid> Ferret" while you were looking so was i, the demoted geforce 4 and lower to legacy status
[03:56] <ikonia_> Anderson1 are you using feisty ?
[03:56] <crimsun> babo: you need /current/ alsa-driver. See the Hg instructions at the bottom of http://www.alsa-project.org/download.php
[03:56] <okias> paradroid: but i delete about 3GB and still full!?
[03:56] <yomm> ikonia , no need to get impatienyt , i was probing whether what I posted could be legit
[03:56] <LordUltimaDavid> Ferret: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=82822
[03:56] <yomm> about the script
[03:56] <crimsun> babo: checkout and compile current alsa-driver
[03:56] <edward_> "this aptitude does not have super cow powers"
[03:56] <ikonia_> yomm I wasn't being impatient, I was being clear
[03:56] <apalmieri> python-dev?
[03:57] <joh> Hmm, when I try to bring up my intel 3945abg interface, I get ADDRCONFI(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready
[03:57] <joh> What does this indicate?
[03:57] <babo> crimsun: I just did that today. The alsa libs/utils/??? packages ?
[03:57] <royel> edward_: try the command, # sudo apt-get install <yourpackagename>
[03:57] <ikonia_> joh that the link is not ready
[03:57] <crimsun> babo: no, just alsa-driver.
[03:57] <edward_> nothing happens
[03:57] <joh> ikonia_: And why isn't it? :P
[03:57] <crimsun> babo: you've already compiled and installed current hg?
[03:57] <hjmills> paradroid, thanks but i have one key and it has three parts - i assume its the uid line with my name in>
[03:57] <soundray> edward_: for super cow powers, use synaptic.
[03:58] <Ferret> LordUltimaDavid: Haha, I looked at that page a few minutes ago and simply didn't notice the note.
[03:58] <babo> crimsun: hg ?
[03:58] <Anderson1> Why do I have a folder for kernel 2.6.17.3.emp3, and what is the signifigance of that, as opposed to 2.6.17-10-386
[03:58] <ikonia_> joh probably not recognised, or no ip, or no cable in it etc etc- the list is long
[03:58] <crimsun> babo: what did you compile?
[03:58] <Ferret> LordUltimaDavid: Surely that big a change is worthy of being in the 'release highlights' list. :/
[03:58] <ikonia_> Anderson1 are you using feisty
[03:58] <joh> ikonia_: It's a wireless interface...
[03:58] <paradroid> okias: If you have baobab you can have a graphical analysis of that drive to see where all the space is being used.
[03:58] <joh> ikonia_: And I've given it an IP manually
[03:58] <Anderson1> it's 6.02, I don't remember the name...
[03:58] <crimsun> Anderson1: you have some random kernel
[03:58] <ikonia_> joh ok - so same answers - but without the cable
[03:58] <apalmieri> how do i install a .deb file folks?
[03:58] <babo> alsa libs / utils and some other package for the Intel HD? card ...
[03:58] <edward_> sopundray what you just said was emaningless to me
[03:58] <crimsun> babo: which /version/?
[03:58] <joh> ikonia_: How should I debug this further?
[03:58] <Ferret> LordUltimaDavid: It's not mentioned at all on http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-9746.html
[03:58] <ikonia_> joh check the syslog
[03:59] <Pici> apalmieri: sudo  dpkg -i filename.deb
[03:59] <LordUltimaDavid> Ferret: i am more of do this research for a friend(geforce 4) i have a geforce 6
[03:59] <babo> crimsun: just a sec ...
[03:59] <Anderson1> when I uname, it says I am booted to 2.6.17-10-386
[03:59] <Quintin_> babo: 'just works' for me.
[03:59] <ikonia_> Anderson1 no need to worry then
[03:59] <Ferret> LordUltimaDavid: Yeah, when I first saw your question I thought I knew right away because I have a GF4, but then I remember I had to downgrade it to a GF5 FX because of leaky caps
[03:59] <BobRomeo> Q: Do I need an MSN account to add an MSN buddy in Gaim, having a JID on an MSNTransport server ? (I registered on a Jabber-server : msn.jabber.xs4all.nl with maximeb)
[03:59] <royel> edward_: what he said, click System >Administration >Synaptic Package Manager.
[03:59] <paradroid> hjmills: Oh yeah, the first is the pub(lic) part, then the user ID (or multiple), then the sub part
[03:59] <soundray> edward_: I was referring to what you said earlier about aptitude. Not important.
[03:59] <ikonia_> BobRomeo yes you do
[04:00] <okias> paradroid: i cant install this package i have amd64 :-(
[04:00] <hjmills> paradroid, ok - thanks
[04:00] <yomm> ikonia : actually the concept came from the gnome-run command , where you have the option to run a command in a terminal ..
[04:00] <crimsun> babo: in any case, your Capture and Mic are both muted
[04:00] <LordUltimaDavid> Ferret: geforce fx are newer, correct?
[04:00] <Ferret> LordUltimaDavid: It's surprising that this is in no way mentioned on the nvidia site at all, nor can I find anyone anywhere complaining about it... so you might want to try 97xx series anyway
[04:00] <ikonia_> yomm what concept ?
[04:00] <babo> crimsun: i was sent to this tutorial for the hda Intel drivers ...
[04:00] <Ferret> LordUltimaDavid: After getting 96xx working
[04:00] <babo> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto?highlight=%28hda%29
[04:00] <Anderson1> ikonia_,  I am trying to edit some files, and I see two instances of the same., One is in /usr/src/linux, the other is in /usr/src/linux_2.6.17.3.emp3. In order to make my changes effective, which should I edit?
[04:00] <joh> ikonia_: that's all it says, that line with link is not ready
[04:00] <yomm> ikonia , well the launch app in another term thingee
[04:00] <ikonia_> yomm thats an old trick
[04:00] <Anderson1> ikonia_, the file I am trying to edit is kernel-parameters
[04:00] <BobRomeo> ikonia: thx
[04:00] <ikonia_> yomm nothing new
[04:00] <Ferret> LordUltimaDavid: The GF5 FX is newer and a *lot* slower than GF4 TI
[04:00] <doojin> hi
[04:00] <doojin> Linux is still pretty unstable
[04:00] <yomm> ikonia : i know
[04:01] <babo> crimsun: the alsa drivers are in there as well I believe. I was having a different sound problem at the time...
[04:01] <doojin> I mean the gui
[04:01] <ikonia_> yomm then why don't you know how to do it ?
[04:01] <yomm> ikonia i want do do it from terminal in X
[04:01] <ikonia_> yomm how does that change anything ?
[04:02] <ikonia_> doojin thats personal opinion
[04:02] <yomm> ikonia : i lost you there ..
[04:02] <hjmills> when using gpg do i have to un-encrypt, edit and re-encrypt every time i want to edit?
[04:02] <LordUltimaDavid> Ferret: ill tell me friend to wait till 7.04 and the whole CNR stuff till he can use Beryl again
[04:02] <babo> crimsun: yeah, but I figured that was part of the sound issue. There is no mute toggle in the terminal alsamixer ...
[04:02] <ikonia_> yomm how does wanting to do it from an xterm change anything or the commands to do it ?
[04:02] <LordUltimaDavid> Ferret: maybe ill buy him a geforce 6
[04:02] <Frogzoo> hjmills: is this a trick question?
[04:02] <xoss> hi.. how will i be able to block a PC from accessing say www.yahoo.com?? using iptables??
[04:03] <ikonia_> hjmills you can't edit while encypted
[04:03] <Ferret> yomm: xterm -e someprogram
[04:03] <yomm> ikonoa : nm , I'll look into the redirect output thingee ,and also see if I can find the right command !
[04:03] <edward_> Ok I have something uin Synaptic marked for installation now what do i do?
[04:03] <Ferret> yomm: xterm -e sh -c 'echo hello; sleep infinity'
[04:03] <ikonia_> xoss you'd find it easier with a proxy service like squc
[04:03] <ikonia_> squid
[04:03] <yomm> ferret : thx thats what i was looking for
[04:03] <IdleOne> edward_, apply
[04:03] <joh> ikonia_: Figured it out :) there was a userspace daemon which needed to run for the network card *after* you've enabled the interface.
[04:03] <edward_> its greyed out
[04:03] <crimsun> babo: there doesn't need to be. You just haven't toggled it at all.
[04:03] <publico> INDY
[04:03] <hjmills> Frogzoo & ikonia, i was wondering it the system could handle prompting for a key when you open the file and auto encrypting again when it saves
[04:03] <edward_> IdleOne Its greyed out
[04:04] <IdleOne> edward_, what app you trying to install?
[04:04] <ikonia_> hjmills you'd have to script that
[04:04] <edward_> wu-ftpd
[04:04] <ikonia_> use a wrapper on the file
[04:04] <edward_> a ftp server
[04:04] <IdleOne> edward_, sudo apt-get install wu-ftpd ( close synaptic first )
[04:04] <babo> crimsun: huh ?
[04:05] <crimsun> babo: look at your amixer output.
[04:05] <edward_> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[04:05] <IdleOne> edward_, if that doesnt work then you dont have universe and multiverse enabled see !universe ( type that in this channel )
[04:05] <babo> crimsun: aye
[04:05] <Frogzoo> xoss: sudo iptables  -A OUTPUT -d www.yahoo.com -j DROP
[04:05] <royel> edward_: # sudo dpkg --configure -a
[04:06] <ikonia_> Frogzoo interesting idea
[04:06] <maxagaz> what is the best tool to manage wifi on gnome ?
[04:06] <babo> crimsun: LineIn, 0 ... ExtMic, 0
[04:06] <xoss> ok.. thanks Frogzoo..
[04:06] <IdleOne> edward_, sudo dpkg --configure -a
[04:06] <Anderson2> ikonia_, If I need to edit /Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt, should I edit the one in /usr/src/linux, or /usr/src/linux_2.6.17.3.emp3?
[04:06] <ikonia_> Anderson2 why are you editing Documentation ?
[04:07] <Anderson2> ikonia_, it's a patch to get my fujitsu touchscreen to work
[04:07] <edward_> ah somthings happening
[04:07] <ikonia_> editing the documentation won't do anything
[04:07] <Skew-> the OS boot screen shows ubuntu and ubuntu safe mode, but twice - so i can choose from ubuntu, ubuntu safe mode AND ubuntu, ubuntu safe mode (again) - they boot the same ubuntu, so how do i remove the 2 unnecessary options?
[04:07] <ikonia_> its just that - documentation
[04:07] <babo> crimsun: I figured amixer was a text version of alsamixer right
[04:07] <babo> ?
[04:07] <edward_> brb
[04:07] <babo> crimsun: I don't have to edit the amixer file do I ?
[04:07] <edward_> thanks loads
[04:07] <crimsun> babo: they're two separate programs
[04:08] <Anderson2> ikonia_, ok, as far as driver files, should I be doing it in /usr/src/linux, or /usr/src/linux_2.6.17.3.emp3
[04:08] <ikonia_> diong what
[04:08] <ikonia_> what are you going to do
[04:08] <Frogzoo> xoss: only you'd have to block all possible ips, so there's a bit of work to do still
[04:08] <ardchoille> Skew-: Those are all at the bottom of /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:08] <Anderson2> ikonia_, modify the code in some files... like psmouse-base.c
[04:09] <ikonia_> Anderson2 again that won't do anything unless you recompile the code
[04:09] <Anderson2> lifebook.c lifebook.h Makefile..
[04:09] <Anderson2> After I edit the files, how do I do that?
[04:09] <babo> crimsun: right, they're two seperate programs. But they're both singing off the same sheet right ? If I change something in alsamixer, it'll show up as being changed on amixer right ?
[04:09] <ikonia_> Anderson2 does your guide not tell you ?
[04:09] <_Jaak_> How do i get rid of my floppy disk in ubuntu
[04:09] <babo> crimsun: How can I fix the mic sound pls ?
[04:09] <xoss> Frogzoo: all possible ips of yahoo??
[04:09] <Anderson2> No, It only has the code modifications
[04:10] <Pitr> How do I fix my /etc/hosts file when sudo refuses to work, due to corrupted /etc/hosts file?
[04:10] <Anderson2> ikonia_, http://developer.osdl.org/dev/robustmutexes/REPOS/fusyn.hg/?cmd=changeset;node=0d0077c12a6ea7cdb4a78f4e460c0e7ce3b99c83
[04:10] <royel> _Jaak_: you could comment out the corresponding line in /etc/fstab
[04:10] <crimsun> babo: toggle the external mic for capture, and unmute capture
[04:10] <ikonia_> anderson2 I'd mail the autor
[04:10] <Pitr> (sudo: unable to lookup integrator4 via gethostbyname())
[04:10] <Skew-> archoille: how do i access and edit that path?
[04:10] <_Jaak_> thanks
[04:10] <babo> crimsun: right. And what should i use to do that ?
[04:10] <babo> crimsun: there's no sound applet. Alsamixer doesn't seem to have a toggle, and amixer is a text file ...
[04:11] <ardchoille> Skew-: the gui way is gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst  .  The cli way is sudo vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:11] <crimsun> babo: use amixer.
[04:11] <royel> Pitr: I assume you tried # sudo nano /etc/hosts  (or substitute nano for your choice of editor)
[04:11] <Pitr> royel: yes
[04:11] <Pitr> it's not the shell that's failing. it's sudo.
[04:11] <ardchoille> Skew-: Either will work, just remember that you are editing as root user and a mistake can mean you not being able to boot.
[04:11] <Frogzoo> xoss: yep
[04:11] <royel> Pitr: sudo rm /etc/hosts
[04:12] <ikonia_> Anderson2 I've just read that URL - and you'll need to rebuild the kenel and a few bits and bobs afterwards
[04:12] <royel> Pitr: an recreate it
[04:12] <royel> Pitr: oh
[04:12] <Pitr> royel: sudo is broken, remember?
[04:12] <apalmieri> is there anything good like sabayon to edit gnome profiles?
[04:12] <BobRomeo> Q: (Trying to understand): Why do I need a MSN account  to IM someone with a MSN Account ? Isn't the concept of the transports that you can talk with others that use another protocol ?
[04:12] <ikonia_> Anderson2 that code is also version specific - not generic
[04:12] <xoss> hmm..
[04:12] <ikonia_> BobRomeo you need to be logged into the network to use it
[04:13] <Pitr> royel: this is ubuntu's policy of disabling a root account biting itself
[04:13] <xoss> anyway that was just an example... was thinking of blocking some sites
[04:14] <Pitr> royel: it seems like rebooting and hacking the system with init=/bin/sh is the only solution
[04:14] <Anderson3> ikonia_, sorry, unstable connection, did you say anything after suggestion to e-mail the author?
[04:14] <BobRomeo> ikonia OK, get the picture, but then, when using Gaim, it is a bit abundant to use a transport server !?!
[04:15] <ikonia_> Anderson3 yes, I've read the changes and 1.) you need to rebuild the kernel and modules after those changes as well as probably update the initrd for ubuntu b.) those changes are kernel version specific not all kernel generic so it may not work for you on your current kernel
[04:15] <edward_> when I run synaptic I get a message saying something like not running as root? How do I run as root?
[04:15] <royel> Pitr: I was trying to google for some answers for you
[04:15] <ikonia_> BobRomeo sorry don't know what your asking
[04:15] <gumpish> Uhm, is it just me or does the man page for alacarte not exist?
[04:15] <royel> Pitr: first thing I always do is create my root account, I dont need someone supervising me :)
[04:15] <Pici> Anderson3: I was just reading through your conversation, it looks like http://stz-softwaretechnik.com/~ke/touchscreen/evtouch.html might be able to help you alot better than having to recompile your kernel.  I found it through google in about a minute.
[04:15] <doojin> How can I make ubuntu stable with firefox and mplayer?
[04:16] <Pici> Anderson3: Linked from this page: http://www.lowlevel.cz/log/pivot/entry.php?id=90
[04:16] <mindstate> i am having some trouble with fglrx ATI Driver..i cant seem to get X to start with this module loaded..i've tried both the ubuntu and manual way..and still the same..any help?
[04:17] <babo> crimsun: my god. They really don't make this very easy do they ?
[04:17] <Anderson3> Pici, Thanks, I'll try that.
[04:17] <Skew-> ardchoille: thanks for the help!
[04:17] <valehru> Hey guys, I have an avi file in ubuntu, is there a good app that can compress it for use in Flickr?
[04:18] <JONES3700> any nvidia drivers that would give me better 2d performance?
[04:18] <babo> crimsun: dude, I'm not getting this ...
[04:18] <ardchoille> Skew-: You're welcome :)
[04:18] <babo> so there's no gui to amixer then ?
[04:19] <Anderson3> How do I know which version of X I have, I did dpkg -l, but there are a lot of things related to X
[04:19] <eliu> hi there
[04:19] <BobRomeo> ikonia In Gaim you can add all your accounts with a lot of different protocols, so when you add your MSN-account directly to Gaim, the need for using a jabber transport server is not there, this would only make sense when using a Jabber-only client.
[04:19] <Pici> Anderson3: dpkg -l xorg
[04:20] <morteng> hi again I have just logged in for the very first time at ubuntu
[04:20] <mindstate> i am having some trouble with fglrx ATI Driver..i cant seem to get X to start with this module loaded..i've tried both the ubuntu and manual way..and still the same..i've got an ATI Radeon 7000/VE..any help
[04:20] <DShepherd> morteng: welcome! :-)
[04:20] <Anderson3> Pici, am I looking at the basic xorg package?
[04:20] <krantix> hi! is there a good way to import and edit pdf files into openoffice? or any other program to directly edit existing pdf files? thanks!
[04:20] <furiozo> hello all
[04:20] <eliu> how to copy files from a corrupted cd-rom?
[04:20] <Pici> Anderson3: or xserver-xorg , same version number
[04:21] <up365> babo, there is a gui in terminal to alsamixer
[04:21] <edward_> OK I think ive installed wu-ftpd but how do I run it?
[04:21] <babo> up365: it doesn't seem to have any mute toggles though ...
[04:21] <furiozo> I have a problem whit KDE on ubuntu 6.06
[04:21] <furiozo> my resolution
[04:21] <henry_Yang>  ?
[04:21] <Anderson3> Pici, Alright, I'm gonna try this, my version of X is 7.1, and that software is for version 6.8. I'll let you know how it turns out.
[04:21] <furiozo> is 1280x1024
[04:21] <furiozo> i want is 1024x768
[04:22] <IdleOne> edward_, does it have a launcher in the applications menu probably under Internet or you can type wu-ftpd in terminal and that should start it
[04:22] <royel> babo: sure it does.. notice the M under the volume indicators, selecting a item an Pressing M will toggle mute
[04:22] <furiozo> i try to renew resolution by right click on desktop
[04:22] <apalmieri> how do i enable remote desktop on my Ubuntu box from command line?
[04:22] <furiozo> configure desktop
[04:22] <edward_> nothing happens if i type the name in the treminal
[04:22] <furiozo> but no results
[04:22] <furiozo> help mew
[04:23] <ikonia_> apalmieri I don't think it comes with a remote desktop - just an Xserver
[04:23] <Frogzoo> eliu: you could try 'sudo dd sync noerror if=/dev/cdrom of=cdrom.iso'
[04:23] <IdleOne> edward_, man wu-ftpd
[04:23] <apalmieri> ikonia: it is possible to enable it because i was using ita while ago, but i enabled it from the Desktop itself
[04:23] <apalmieri> brb
[04:23] <babo> royel: not sure which version you are using then. My extMic and LiveIn don't have any M's anywhere
[04:23] <edward_> ah ok
[04:23] <ikonia_> apalmieri I wasn't aware ubuntu came with a remote desktop server
[04:23] <edward_> Thanks loads
[04:23] <up365> babo, use left  right arrows to move to in or out you want and M to mute or unmute
[04:24] <d22> furiozo
[04:24] <_Jaak_> can i make a script like sh, that starts when someone connects with vnc?
[04:24] <edward_> Now I have installed the nvidia GFX drivers
[04:24] <eliu> ok frogzo
[04:24] <royel> babo: try pressing "Tab" to cycle thru all the different views
[04:24] <edward_> how do I access the controle panel?
[04:24] <mindstate> i am having some trouble with fglrx ATI Driver..i cant seem to get X to start with this module loaded..i've tried both the ubuntu and manual way..and still the same..i've got an ATI Radeon 7000/VE..any help
[04:24] <babo> royel: I did that ...
[04:24] <up365> babo, this works in alsamixer in terminal
[04:25] <Frogzoo> mindstate: ah, the fglrx won't run on that card if you read the docs closely
[04:25] <babo> crimsun: I've opened up ExtMic and it's still not working ...
[04:25] <Pitr> royel: someone will go the datacenter tomorrow to fix the problem.. this shucks :)
[04:25] <mindstate> Frogzoo: then how can i get direct 3d to work on this card?
[04:25] <royel> Pitr: wow, sorry to hear man
[04:25] <JohnRobert> !ati
[04:25] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:25] <IdleOne> besides " eject " is there another command to force cd to eject itself?
[04:25] <mindstate> JohnRobert: thats wut i did..that driver doesnt work
[04:25] <JohnRobert> IdleOne: eject -f
[04:25] <atomiku> how can i disable ssh and telnet and any other way of logging into this computer remotely?
[04:26] <babo> man this sucks
[04:26] <Frogzoo> atomiku: disabled by default
[04:26] <IdleOne> atomiku, unplug the NIC
[04:26] <furiozo> greajj
[04:26] <atomiku> well its enabled at the moment
[04:26] <ikonia_> atomiku remove telnet from inetd and shut down sshd
[04:26] <atomiku> IdleOne: If I unplug the NIC, i wont have any internet... O_O
[04:26] <IdleOne> JohnRobert, that didnt force it open :/
[04:26] <JohnRobert> atomiku: telnet/ssh won't be enabled by default
[04:26] <Frogzoo> atomiku: xinetd
[04:26] <mindstate> :-/
[04:26] <JohnRobert> IdleOne: it's probably mounted
[04:26] <IdleOne> atomiku, and nobody cant connect to your machine :)
[04:27] <edward_> indtall a smoothwall firewall\
[04:27] <henry_Yang> http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Edgy_Installation_Guide#Verifying
[04:27] <up365> babo, do you have alsamixer showing in terminal ?
[04:27] <edward_> Now I have installed the nvidia GFX drivers
[04:27] <BobRomeo> Q: Howto change the default browser from FF to Opera ?
[04:27] <edward_> how do I access the controle panel?
[04:27] <atomiku> JohnRobert: I wouldnt be asking how to disable it if it wasnt running in the first place...
[04:27] <JohnRobert> IdleOne: cat /etc/mtab | grep -i rom
[04:27] <atomiku> logic ;)
[04:27] <babo> up365: yip
[04:27] <JohnRobert> atomiku: there's probably a conf file that starts it in /etc/xinetd or something
[04:27] <Frogzoo> atomiku: this is a support chan - people ask all sorts of things
[04:27] <Pitr> royel: I think it's a sudo bug .. should sudo really fail if a hostname is not resolvable?
[04:27] <IdleOne> JohnRobert, nothing happens just returns prompt
[04:27] <atomiku> oh.
[04:28] <JohnRobert> hmmz IdleOne
[04:28] <babo> up365: instead of the mute buttons, it seems to have a L-R Capture instead.
[04:28] <mindstate> i've got an ATI radeon 7000/VE  anyone know how i can get direct 3d to work on this card?
[04:28] <babo> I think it's sorted now. but my microphone still won't work
[04:28] <JohnRobert> ok IdleOne, just cat /etc/mtab and look for something that looks like your cdrom
[04:28] <IdleOne> JohnRobert, eject -f
[04:28] <IdleOne> eject: unable to eject, last error: Function not implemented
[04:28] <JohnRobert> then do: umount /dev/whatever
[04:29] <sterilegenie> mindstate- i think that that card is not supported any longer
[04:29] <JohnRobert> try eject /media/cdrom
[04:29] <royel> Pitr: I think your right, but then.. on all of my servers I use root users only, since they are not being used as a desktop there is no reason for alternate users
[04:29] <JohnRobert> and eject -f /media/cdrom
[04:29] <JohnRobert> there's a lot you can try :)
[04:29] <babo> I don't believe noone on here can tell me why my mouse button clicks every 30 seconds or so. It's like my system has a nervous itch or something ...
[04:29] <edward_> How do I access the Nvidia GFX CTRL panel?
[04:29] <TN_> hi have a question about dapper
[04:29] <mindstate> sterilegenie: whaaat? it can't be..cause i just had 3d working on this card..but my pc messed up so i had to reinstall..now 3d isnt working
[04:29] <JohnRobert> my guess is that it's mounted, and you sometimes can't eject mounted medium so easily
[04:30] <HymnToLife> edward_, should be in your Aplications menu
[04:30] <sterilegenie> how did you install driver? synaptic or manual?
[04:30] <IdleOne> JohnRobert, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6578/
[04:30] <HymnToLife> at least it is in KDE, if not  nvidia-settings        in a terminal
[04:30] <edward_> It isint
[04:30] <TN_> whats the unistall command for dapper
[04:30] <atomiku> apt-get remove?
[04:30] <mindstate> sterilegenie: it just worked..i didnt install any extra driver
[04:30] <babo> crimsun: gee thanks dude, I print out all the commands, and then you just leave ... :-(
[04:30] <atomiku> idunno
[04:31] <JohnRobert> IdleOne: hmm, weird, is it a normal cdrom? is there a cd in the drive?
[04:31] <sterilegenie> I dont think thats possible, you need to install packages for it to work
[04:31] <IdleOne> JohnRobert, yes there is a cd in the drive and it is read only if that makes a difference
[04:31] <JohnRobert> and can you paste: cat /etc/fstab for me?
[04:31] <nfx> iis su - the same with su -root?
[04:31] <gerar1> hi everybody
[04:31] <IdleOne> JohnRobert, just a minute
[04:31] <Kubota> Hi.. Can someone help me with cd ripping? Sound Juicer rips at around .08x and I enabled dma
[04:32] <henry_Yang> ......
[04:32] <mindstate> sterilegenie: well i dont remember installing anything.. in xorg.conf it was using the radeon driver..and it had 3d..im using da same now..and no 3d..its weird
[04:32] <sterilegenie> give me a second and I will tell you the packages needed
[04:32] <likwidtek> morning
[04:32] <JohnRobert> Kubota: sound juicer isn't great... try installing a package called 'grip' it has many more options
[04:32] <sterilegenie> radeon gave you hw accel?
[04:32] <JohnRobert> sudo apt-get install grip
[04:32] <IdleOne> JohnRobert, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6580/
[04:32] <Kubota> JohnRobert: I tried grip, but it didn't find my CD-RW drive
[04:33] <IdleOne> JohnRobert, brb son wants a sandwich :)
[04:33] <mindstate> sterilegenie: yah..when i typed glxinfo |grep direct.. output was YES
[04:33] <soundray> babo: he's probably just on the phone or something
[04:33] <sterilegenie> hmmm
[04:33] <sterilegenie> hold on a sec
[04:33] <JohnRobert> IdleOne: eject /dev/hdc and eject -f /dev/hdc
[04:33] <Pitr> royel: these systems were installed by a colleague, who needed test servers for customers.. default installs
[04:33] <babo> soundray: yeah I know. I'm seriously pissed with ubuntu in general today though ...
[04:33] <mindstate> lol
[04:34] <soundray> babo: we didn't need to know that
[04:34] <babo> :P
[04:34] <JohnRobert> Kubota: often ripping will start off slow and then speed up as the laser gets closer to the centre of the disc.. also scratched up discs will take ages
[04:34] <Kubota> JohnRobert: Alright, I'll try a different CD.. thanks.
[04:34] <JohnRobert> if you have another pc, I'd recommend trying ripping on that
[04:34] <sterilegenie> you need fglrx kernel source  ....and
[04:35] <Kubota> JohnRobert: do you know how I can make grip recognize my cd drive?
[04:35] <royel> Pitr: I see, still a bad idea IMO to not have root users for a system in a server role
[04:35] <JohnRobert> different cdrom drives differ massively...for example, my laptop one is terrible and takes ages, yet my pc one is great and takes just 10 mins or so per cd
[04:35] <babo> My right mouse button keeps on clicking of it's own volition every minute or so. It opens and closes windows, repositions the caret. Can anyone imagine a problem as a annoying as that. I've posted to the forums and didn't get one single response ...
[04:35] <JohnRobert> Kubota: I'm not sure, you can specify the drive in the options somewhere though
[04:35] <JohnRobert> manually
[04:35] <mindstate> sterilegenie: i install fglrx from source ..i did the whole thing the manual way..i got the same thing..X wont start up
[04:35] <sterilegenie> linux restricted modules  ....and
[04:35] <JohnRobert> Kubota: do: cat /etc/fstab | grep -i cd and then you'll see what device your cdrom is (/dev/hdc probably)
[04:35] <Kubota> ok- guess I'll have to look around. thanks.
[04:36] <sterilegenie> xorg-driver-fglrx
[04:36] <Pici> babo: Does it still do it if its disconnected (i.e. maybe its a hardware issue)
[04:36] <JohnRobert> that's the path to your cdrom drive, you'll have to put that in to the options
[04:36] <mindstate> sterilegenie: :-/ i've done that lol
[04:36] <babo> Pici: no it's definitely an Ubuntu issue ...
[04:36] <sterilegenie> it wont work without restricted modules installed either way
[04:36] <Pici> babo: I had to ask
[04:36] <babo> Pici: works fine on windows
[04:36] <babo> Pici: aye
[04:36] <M3G4crux> hi
[04:37] <Pitr> royel: tell the ubuntu crew ;-)
[04:37] <M3G4crux> does anyone know how to uninstall python applications such as Elisa or Faces?
[04:38] <royel> Pitr: well, the server install I used, 6.06 does set up root, I think it was an option, but at least it was there.
[04:38] <sterilegenie> change radeon to fglrx
[04:39] <Kubota> JohnRobert: Alright! Thanks, works great now.
[04:39] <mindstate> sterilegenie: X doesnt start up with the fglrx loaded
[04:39] <M3G4crux> anyone knows anything about python?
[04:39] <sterilegenie> once you have changed it do a ctrl-alt-backspace to restart x
[04:39] <blackest> erwer ati ?
[04:39] <JohnRobert> Kubota: no worries...just pass on your knowledge to others
[04:39] <mindstate> i just read the fglrx driver is for Radeon 8000 and up..im not compatible with that driver
[04:40] <mindstate> but i KNOW ive had 3d working on this card before
[04:40] <sterilegenie> x hangs?
[04:40] <blackest> whoops maybe i should check where the scroll bar is
[04:40] <Anderson> Pici, following the instructions on the page you gave me, it didn't work. I opened the file INSTALL that came with the tarball and there was a different set of instruction. THe INSTALL file said something about make, make install, xmkmf... an thought?
[04:40] <mindstate> x doesnt load at all..gives me a no screens found error
[04:40] <JohnRobert> sterilegenie: probably a closed source drivers fault :p
[04:41] <JohnRobert> mindstate: chances are there's no screens defined in your xorg conf
[04:41] <sterilegenie> if you uninstall the driver and add them via synaptic or apt-get they will work
[04:41] <blackest> rename your backup xorg.conf mindstate
[04:41] <Pici> Anderson: did you follow the instructions?
[04:41] <mindstate> JohnRobert: there are screens defined
[04:41] <Oz_Diver_68> mexico06$
[04:41] <Anderson> Pici, from the website, yes.
[04:41] <sterilegenie> make sure you have the packages i listed
[04:42] <Anderson> Pici, I did not follow the INSTALL file instructions.
[04:42] <likwidtek> :)
[04:42] <mindstate> *sigh*
[04:42] <sterilegenie> i can give you a copy of my xorg.conf if you need to look at it
[04:43] <mindstate> that would be nice
[04:43] <JohnRobert> mindstate: X isn't the easiest to configure... did it ever work?
[04:43] <JohnRobert> try googling for 'autoconfigure X ubuntu'
[04:44] <Anderson> Pici, I checked which /dev/input/ to use, and the event1 seems right, although there are event0-9 , and I don't know what each is...
[04:44] <mindstate> JohnRobert: X is working right now with the radeon driver loaded..just no 3d support..but ive had 3d working on this card before in Edgy
[04:44] <Pici> Anderson: cat /dev/input/event1 and see if you get stuff on the screen when you use the touchscreen, ctrl-c to exit
[04:45] <sterilegenie> 3d support is trivial to setup if you have all of the packages installed and xorg.conf is configured properly
[04:45] <morteng> please I have read all FAQ and still don't know whether 8 G Byte  Hard disk drive will be sufficient for 6.06 LTS Dapper Drake
[04:45] <JohnRobert> mindstate: you probably need the mesa packages and stuff too
[04:45] <blackest> morteng yes its enough
[04:45] <JohnRobert> the driver alone won't 'do' 3d I don't think
[04:45] <JohnRobert> !mesa
[04:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mesa - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:45] <JohnRobert> heh
[04:45] <sterilegenie> no it wont
[04:45] <Anderson> Pici, Doesn't seem to do anything.
[04:46] <sterilegenie> thats what im trying to say
[04:46] <JohnRobert> let's see now
[04:46] <mindstate> how do i get the mesa packages
[04:46] <jexdawg> currently i have fast-access dsl connected via ethernet. it works right out of the box which is really nice. however, dsl kind of sucks and is fairly expensive, so i'm considering switching to comcast high-speed internet. however, it isn't supported (obviously) for linux/ubuntu. i'm wondering - does anyone else have comcast highspeed on ubuntu setup? does it work without a whole lot of tinkering?
[04:46] <mindstate> are they on apt
[04:46] <Pici> Anderson: Try it for the rest of the events#, I had to go through the same thing when trying to get my wacom tablet to work
[04:46] <sterilegenie> mesa is all ready installed by default
[04:46] <Anderson> Pici, Alright
[04:46] <root__> how can i login as diferent existing user from console?
[04:46] <mindstate> i got mesa-utils installed
[04:46] <Anderson> Pici, Do you mean cat the rest of them, or try them in the xorg.conf?
[04:47] <JohnRobert> mindstate:
[04:47] <JohnRobert> sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa libgl1-mesa-dri libglu1-mesa mesa-utils
[04:47] <Pici> Anderson: cat them first
[04:47] <JohnRobert> give those a try
[04:47] <Anderson> Pici, k
[04:47] <sterilegenie> if you want to use mesa change radeon to mesa
[04:47] <Brismetal> jexdawg, can you get a router and multiple pc's working on comcast?/
[04:47] <Pici> Anderson: I'm running out to a meeting, so I'll be afk and wont be able to respond. Good luck
[04:47] <Brismetal> if so, perhaps buy a router and just plug it in that way
[04:47] <mindstate> JohnRobert: then what?
[04:47] <Pici> Anderson: And if it doesnt work, check the ubuntu forums to see if anyone else had a solution
[04:47] <up365> jexdawg, Im on Comcast hi-speed internet cable with a home net to boot
[04:47] <arcad3> how can i login as another user in console?
[04:47] <blackest> jexdawg assuming you use some kind of router its not an issue you might need a windows box to do intial config just for thier software but then it doesnt matter
[04:48] <Anderson> Pici, thanks, will do. Thanks for the help
[04:48] <mindstate> JohnRobert: all that stuff was installed already
[04:48] <up365> jexdawg, I agree with blackest to use win to setup which is what I did
[04:49] <jexdawg> up365, blackest - do you like it? are you satisfied? also, i don't have windows setup on my computer so dual booting would be a pain - can i install their stuff through wine?
[04:49] <cyphase> http://www.dellideastorm.com/popular
[04:49] <royel> jexdawg: As long as you get a cable modem that has an active ethernet, you probably won't notice the difference.
[04:49] <blackest> arcad3 you could use ssh
[04:49] <arcad3> ssh in my own box?
[04:49] <jexdawg> what exactly do you mean use windows to setup? how does anything done in windows affect ubuntu (unless i'm misunderstanding)?
[04:49] <blackest> whynot
[04:49] <arcad3> is a command for that
[04:49] <jexdawg> royel, a difference between bellsouth and comcast?
[04:49] <up365> jexdawg,  only because I had win before linux
[04:50] <JONES3700> is there a guide to installing the x.org nvidia drivers?
[04:50] <mindstate> !nvidia
[04:50] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:51] <jexdawg> JONES, you might want to check out Envy. http://lunapark6.com/?p=2717
[04:51] <up365> jexdawg, I couldnt think of a reason to switch from comcast cable modem
[04:51] <royel> jexdawg: I work for Charter Communications an I can say, not all things are equal though they should be.. We have areas in my current district that just plain refuse to run troublefree.. an other areas that never break.. so asking someone about there satisfaction with cable internet service doesn't always translate into something that you can expect from your area, in the same respect the Bells(DSL) have similiar issues
[04:51] <JONES3700> thanks jexdawg
[04:51] <garuhh1> hi!! anyone can help me with my c59 printer?
[04:52] <Kubota> garuhh: what brand?
[04:52] <gtk_sp> I dont have that printer
[04:52] <hjmills> i collect my email in evolution but sometimes use my laptop and sometimes my desktop - what is the easiest way to keep these in sync
[04:52] <garuhh1> its an epson c59
[04:53] <garuhh1> had been looking for c59 epson printer driver for some time now... and haven't found one :(
[04:53] <royel> jexdawg: corret, teh difference as far as the way the interface with your computer, most devices will automatically assign your computer the IPs with DHCP.. switching from one to the other in almost all cases is no trouble.
[04:53] <jexdawg> but what about running the "setup" software? is that crucial? because i know it'll be a pain in linux if its all .exe and whatnot
[04:53] <paitken> I'm having issues booting into Ubuntu.  I start from the Live CD, install it on my hard drive (/dev/sdc), install GRUB on HD2, reboot, edit the bios so that the sdc hard drive is the first bootable drive.  Grub loads and I just get a blinking cursor in the top left....any solutions?
[04:54] <Wuilliam> hi all, im bad whit enlgish, i hava the cd live 64bit and 32bit, mi PC is 32bit. when i boot whit 64bit, it ruins good, and i can to install the system, but when i try whit the 32bit, nothing happend, when i select the languaje, nothing happend, the bar go to right and left, right and left, nothing happend, never see the live sistem
[04:54] <ikonia_> paitken you've messed up the grub install
[04:54] <Wuilliam> can any1 helpe?
[04:54] <Kubota> garuhh1: yeh I see your post on ubuntuforums... You could probably just ask around your friends for a printer. People occasionally have them just laying around.
[04:54] <jussi01> garuhh1: http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Epson-stylus_c59
[04:54] <hjmills> Wuilliam, what cpu do you have? is it dual core?
[04:54] <paitken> ikonia_: well, how do i go about fixing it?  i just let ubuntu install it
[04:55] <Wuilliam> is a Pentium D 820
[04:55] <genpfault> I'm having trouble with lvm2 and pvmove-ing on edgy; even after modprobe-ing the proper dm-* kernel modules it still errors out with bad ioctl errors
[04:55] <garuhh1> what i don't have is the printer driver for c59... i can't find a driver..
[04:55] <ikonia_> paitken then why did you need to change the harddisk boot order, ubuntu should install it to the primary boot drive
[04:55] <ikonia_> genpfault is the array/volulme in use ?
[04:55] <royel> jexdawg: there really shouldn't be any "software", most devices are imbedded with their own utilities accessible via a webgui (IE:http://192.168.1.100) or with DSL, (http://lauchmodem) or something similiar
[04:55] <Kubota> garuhh1: http://openprinting.org/show_driver.cgi?driver=epson&fromprinter=Epson-stylus_c59
[04:55] <jussi01> garuhh1: there is a driver on that page
[04:55] <paitken> ikonia_: because i have a software raid  0 installed
[04:55] <jexdawg> royel, i just wanted to say i love you
[04:56] <garuhh1> thanks jussi01! but it didn't work... :(
[04:56] <ikonia_> paitken you can't boot from raid0
[04:56] <genpfault> ikonia: yes, but that shouldn't matter with pvmove, I think
[04:56] <jexdawg> alright, so far i haven't seen anything conclusively negative about comcast. i'm probably going to make the switch.
[04:56] <ikonia_> genpfault it does if there is not enough PE for the move
[04:56] <jussi01> garuhh1: so you have a problem driver, not no driver :D
[04:56] <up365> jexdawg, there really was no setup CD
[04:56] <Brismetal> has anyone here used Cadega much?
[04:56] <royel> jexdawg: the best way to know is call the cable company an ask them if any special software is required for the modems to function, unless they are using USB only devices this shouldn't be teh case
[04:56] <paitken> ikonia_: that is my reason why i made it my first bootable hd
[04:56] <Brismetal> I had it working last night but when I went to use it today and click play it does nothing at all
[04:56] <jussi01> garuhh1: Does it work at all??
[04:56] <genpfault> ikonia: hrm, it's only about 1GB and I'm trying to migrate it to about 10GB worth of PE's
[04:57] <Wuilliam> hjmills: http://www.intel.com/products/processor/pentium_D/index.htm thas is my CPU
[04:57] <Brismetal> is there a command prompt command I can use to get some feedback on what it's doing?
[04:57] <ikonia_> paitken the problem is the menu.list will be on your raid0 partition, which I assume is fake raid, therefore unsable
[04:57] <royel> jexdawg: gosh Jex.. you hardly know me :)
[04:57] <Wuilliam> 2.8ghz fsb800
[04:57] <jexdawg> :)
[04:57] <garuhh1> it seems i can't find a good driver....
[04:57] <leogodin217> can anyone help with getting direct rendering enabled on Edgy 6.10 with AMD athlon 64 cpu ATI x1300 video cad.  I've followed the howto, automatix, forums, etc...  Right now I get no errors but direct rendering is not enabled
[04:57] <royel> jexdawg: why are you switching??
[04:57] <paitken> ikonia_: So, I need to boot from the live cd, edit the list and the mapping, and it should be fine?
[04:57] <garuhh1> it didn't work...
[04:57] <ikonia_> genpfault your not "cd'd" into a directy on that volume are you
[04:57] <hjmills> Wuilliam, the pentium Ds are 64bit (and 32bit backwards compatible)
[04:57] <ikonia_> paitken make sure your menu.lst is not on the fake raid partition
[04:58] <genpfault> ikonia: well, it is /home
[04:58] <genpfault> ikonia: I'll try booting single-user and unmounting it
[04:58] <ikonia_> genpfault is anything running from /home or are you cd'd into it
[04:58] <jussi01> garuhh1: did you get black and white? it says the colors are not too good
[04:58] <Wuilliam> hjmills: mmmm, are you sure???? the 32bit DVD never run
[04:58] <hjmills> Wuilliam, the probs with the 32 bit cd is prob a duff download or burn
[04:58] <hjmills> Wuilliam, check the md5 of the iso you downloaded
[04:58] <hjmills> !md5
[04:58] <ubotu> To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[04:59] <paitken> ikonia_: nothing wsa written to the raid drives.  Also, do i need to do 'grub'; 'root (HD0,1)'; 'setup (HD0)'
[04:59] <ikonia_> paitken the "grub" options will depend where your data and boot device is
[04:59] <Wuilliam> hjmills: whit the 64bit cd i will to instal in my pD whitout problem????
[04:59] <paitken> Alright, here goes nothing
[04:59] <ikonia_> Wuilliam because that maybe a working cd
[05:00] <ikonia_> its a different physical media
[05:00] <garuhh1> jussi01, i havent really figured out how to get a driver from the page you said... can you guide me?
[05:00] <jussi01> garuhh1: sure: you want to talk private?
[05:00] <garuhh1> yes... how?
[05:00] <BobRomeo> bye
[05:00] <garuhh1> jussie01, yes how?
[05:01] <Wuilliam> ikonia yesterday i downloaded the 64bit cd, and 64bit dvd (desktop) and working good, but the 32 bit cd and dvd doesnt work (desktop)
[05:01] <arami> Hi! guys, I have a relly weired problem with ubuntu 6.10 server.  I cannot login to the shell on the server and via ssh. anyone here who could help me out?
[05:01] <royel> arami: is openssh installed?
[05:02] <jussi01> garuhh1: did you get my message?
[05:02] <Brismetal> Is there any simple tests I can do for opengl?  I tried running WoW with Wine but it runs so very slow.. I'm running it in OpenGL.  I had it running kind of OK in Cadega but now Cadega just wont open anything, I click play and nothing happens
[05:02] <hjmills> Wuilliam, sure - check the 64bit forum for any known probs with 64 bit os and codecs/non-free formats
[05:02] <soundray> Wuilliam: it has nothing to do with 32 and 64. Pentium Ds will run the 32bit version just as well as the 64bit version.
[05:02] <arami> yes it is. it was working correctly. i can login acutally. i get the welcome message, and after that I'm automatically loggend out.
[05:02] <arami> the same on the machine directly
[05:03] <garuhh1> am sorry jussi01... i got only one message
[05:03] <Wuilliam> the 32bit cds and dvd doesnt run uin my PC
[05:03] <_Jaak_> is it possible to launch a script or code when someon connects with vnc?
[05:03] <soundray> Wuilliam: your burning process must have gone wrong.
[05:03] <arami> i can only do ctrl-alt-del to reboot. Then i can login for 2 mins, after that the problem starts again
[05:03] <Wuilliam> but im not sure to install this 64bit version
[05:03] <jussi01> garuhh1: which client are you using?
[05:03] <Frogzoo> Brismetal: fgl_glxgears
[05:03] <garuhh1> jussie01, i only received this: "Like this :D"
[05:04] <Brismetal> I ran that.. it bursts really fast when it starts but then slows down a lot
[05:04] <szarak> arami: what is the shell of your user?
[05:04] <szarak> arami: in /etc/passwd?
[05:04] <garuhh1> jussi01, what do you mean by the client? am using GAIM
[05:04] <Frogzoo> Brismetal: maybe it's slowing down as the card gets hot - for some reason
[05:04] <garuhh1> yes i can write in the message box jussi01
[05:04] <Brismetal> it works fine in Windows getitng a good work out
[05:05] <Wuilliam> i have 3 cd 32bit, burned in differnet PC, that isnt the problem
[05:05] <arami> user exists in /etc/passwd
[05:05] <genpfault> ikonia: alrighty, booting single-user had no effect, still got the ioctl problems
[05:05] <jexdawg> sorry royel i was afk. i'm switching because dsl is expensive (45$ p/month) and.... just average. i really am not blown away by amazing speeds or anything. even if comcast is no better, at least it will be cheaper.
[05:05] <hjmills> any ideas about how to sync 2 mail on 2 pcs with evolution?
[05:05] <Brismetal> Frogzoo,  it bursts really fast for the first second it opens then goes really slow, not runs fine for a while then slows down
[05:05] <jussi01> garuhh1: double click on my name on the right --->  then write in he box that comes up
[05:06] <arami> on  the machin and via ssh i get: welcome msg. last login: $date    and after that i get immediatly connection to 192.168.30.202 lost
[05:06] <Brismetal> I'm getting about 271FPS is that slow for a raidon 9600 pro with 2.8ghz p4 and 2gig of ram?
[05:06] <Frogzoo> Brismetal: is the fan running?
[05:06] <arami> the whole system is just running apache2
[05:06] <Brismetal> It sounds to be.. It's a bit hard to get to
[05:06] <szarak> aetr: what is the shell in /etc/passwd?
[05:06] <szarak> aetr: sorry, not you
[05:06] <royel> jexdawg: I see, was just curious.. in my experience pricing is nearly identical for DSL vs Cable for similiar levels of speed.. Good luck with it
[05:06] <szarak> arami: read above
[05:07] <arami> bash
[05:07] <garuhh1> jussi01, nothing happens if i double click your name... i even use the IM the user thing,,, and nothing happens too!!
[05:07] <Brismetal> Frogzoo, I'll have a look, but I don't think it's over heating..  for example I can close it and reopen it straight away and it still bursts fast for a second then slows down
[05:07] <szarak> hmm, strange
[05:07] <arami> yes it is.
[05:07] <Wuilliam> i dont know, i will to install 64bit in my PC, maybe it crash????? i will to have future problem[05:07] <royel> szarak: yeah, I went to google for this, cause I have no clue myself :)
[05:07] <soundray> Wuilliam: no, 64bit is not unstable
[05:08] <jexdawg> royel: crap. you have officially and decisively killed my dreams.
[05:08] <royel> arami: sorry, I was googling for ya, but I really have no clue
[05:08] <Brismetal> the Tux openGL game works fine it's just WoW that seems to be slow, perhaps I should try another game under Wine and see how it runs
[05:08] <royel> jexdawg: oh?
[05:08] <arami> k thx
[05:08] <garuhh1> jussi01, you can't see my messages?
[05:08] <arami> this problem is really strange...
[05:08] <hjmills> Brismetal, i dont think wow uses opengl by default iirc
[05:08] <boubbin> i have intel core 2 duo, should i download i386 or powerpc ubuntu torrent ?
[05:08] <jussi01> garuhh1: only on the main screen
[05:08] <hjmills> boubbin, either i386 or 64bit
[05:08] <szarak> boubbin: i386
[05:08] <Brismetal> hjmills, no, it doesnt, I'm using the -opengl option though
[05:08] <jexdawg> haha. oh well. does anyone have highspeed internet they are pleased with and wants to make some suggestions?
[05:08] <soundray> Wuilliam: some software isn't available in 64bit versions. All of ubuntu's software is, though.
[05:08] <Brismetal> hjmills, and have even edited the config to force opengl mode
[05:08] <garuhh1> jussi01, owww.... i don't know what's wrong
[05:09] <boubbin> there are only amd-64
[05:09] <hjmills> Brismetal, i seem to remember more steps than that but it was a while ago - does directx mode work?
[05:09] <jussi01> garuhh1: anyway, lets look at this driver
[05:09] <Brismetal> apparantly D3D is really buggy in Wine
[05:09] <garuhh1> ok...
[05:09] <royel> jexdawg: why have I killed your dreams.. did you just find out there is no substantial savings?  You should actually check before you make a decision based on what I said..
[05:09] <hjmills> boubbin, that is for both intel and amd
[05:09] <Wuilliam> soundray: well, is better 32bit... omg, it never run in my pc. what can i do
[05:09] <soundray> boubbin: amd64 images are for Intel CPUs, too. Look where it says EM64T on the download page
[05:09] <hjmills> just amd was out first so it was called amd64
[05:09] <szarak> arami: where you manualy changing something in /etc lately?
[05:10] <jexdawg> royel: it was a joke. apparently, sarcasm is lost on teh internets.
[05:10] <Brismetal> hjmills,  I did open it yesterday without the -opengl and it ran very slow also though but I'll give it another go now
[05:10] <HymnToLife> soundray, not _all_ of them
[05:10] <szarak> arami: i mean passwd? maybe a misstype?
[05:10] <soundray> Wuilliam: you can retry burning the CD
[05:10] <HymnToLife> Xeons for example
[05:10] <hjmills> boubbin i think its slowly changing to x86_64
[05:10] <soundray> HymnToLife: what about Xeons?
[05:10] <boubbin> soundray well for kubuntu theres onlyt amd64, i take it
[05:10] <HymnToLife> er, Itaniums, rather
[05:10] <arami> nope. the last thing i did was setting up eth0 and 1
[05:10] <royel> jexdawg: ah, yeah.. it doesnt translate very well.. it has got me in to lots of unintentional fights as well :)
[05:10] <cjk> hi, i have a matrox g400 dualhead gfx card. it works fine. both screens etc... but i can not drag applications from screen A to B. what has been started on A remains on A. and what has been started on B remains on B. Any idea?
[05:10] <HymnToLife> they don't use EM64T, but IA64
[05:10] <HymnToLife> so they're not compatible with the amd64 images
[05:11] <arami> no misstype. the point is: i can log in, but I'm immediately logged out automatically
[05:11] <soundray> HymnToLife: all right, thanks. They must be exceedingly rare as Ubuntu installation candidates, though?
[05:11] <HymnToLife> I guess so :p
[05:12] <hjmills> HymnToLife, how would you install on one of those?
[05:12] <szarak> arami: do you have any other user there? root?
[05:12] <HymnToLife> hjmills, simple, don't install Ubuntu
[05:12] <facugaich> How can I force a package to be installed, even if it has broken dependencies?
[05:12] <arami> i cannot log in as root (no pw for login set)
[05:12] <hjmills> HymnToLife, is there no way to get ubuntu on there? could you not compile from the source repos? (if you were desperate?)
[05:13] <royel> arami: how much time passes before it logs you out?
[05:13] <arami> half a second or so
[05:13] <soundray> facugaich: 'man dpkg' explains about the --force-depends option
[05:13] <arami> =)
[05:13] <Brismetal> hjmills, OK, I just tried in D3D and only foreground text shows up heh, I think that's what they meant by buggy d3d
[05:13] <royel> arami: wow, do you have physical access to server, can you log in there?
[05:13] <arami> its just: username password -> enter -> and I'm back at the beginning
[05:13] <HymnToLife> hjmills, for thet, you need a compiler that can work on them, so you'll need to instal something else anyway ;)
[05:14] <HymnToLife> Debien or NetBSD support the ia64 arch
[05:14] <arami> no the same issue physically on the server
[05:14] <HymnToLife> Debian*
[05:14] <arami> that is the big problem
[05:14] <morteng> is there known problems with installing 32-bit ubuntu on vmware server 1.0.1
[05:15] <garuhh1> hi!! i need a driver for epson c59... can anyone help me?
[05:15] <HymnToLife> morteng, which Ubuntu ?
[05:15] <HymnToLife> I've installed B, D, E, F with no problems
[05:15] <morteng> 6.06 LTS Dapper Drake
[05:15] <HymnToLife> no problem at all
[05:16] <HymnToLife> what problem are you facing ?
[05:16] <garuhh1> hi!! i need a driver for epson c59... can anyone help me?
[05:16] <morteng> For the moment no problems, but it was a big problem to install for instanmce 43 bit red hat. as guest operating system.

[05:19] <arami> btw. it worked now for 1 minute
[05:20] <szarak> arami: is a file /etc/nologin created maybe?

[05:20] <OGR> =|[::IdleOne::] |=> what you speak?
[05:20] <arami> wait i have a look
[05:20] <arami> no there isn't such a file

[05:20] <royel> szarak: /bin/true maybe?
[05:20] <ikonia_> OGR this is an english only channel
[05:20] <esculapius> hello
[05:20] <zmeiat_joro> irc.mozilla.org says there's an "open proxy found at my host"
[05:21] <szarak> royel: where? in passwd?
[05:21] <daveR> can anyone recommend some linux software similar to dreamweaver?
[05:21] <esculapius> anyone knows how to mount a pcmcia?
[05:21] <OGR> yoooha!!!!!!!!! )) COOL !!!!
[05:21] <esculapius> anyone knows how to mount a pcmcia?
[05:21] <szarak> royel: i mean, that if the /etc/nologin is created only root can login
[05:21] <mx123> hi  I have problem installing ati driver
[05:21] <soundray> !html | daveR
[05:21] <ubotu> daveR: html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build webpages. Editors in Ubuntu: Bluefish, Quanta+, Screem, and Nvu. For howto on HTML coding, see: http://www.w3schools.com
[05:21] <ikonia_> esculapius you can't mount a pcmci card - you can only mount a storage device
[05:21] <hjmills> how can i sync the email on 2 pcs (both using evolution)
[05:21] <twb> In what package are the corutils info pages?
[05:21] <royel> szarak: I'm guessing at things as well.. but if his shell were somehow changed to use /bin/true it will log them out like he's described
[05:21] <ikonia_> twb coreutils man
[05:21] <daveR> soundray: do you recommend one of them?
[05:22] <esculapius> ikonia, how i have a cf reader, pcmcia
[05:22] <soundray> daveR: there's nothing as "refined" as Dreamweaver. I'm personally sticking with emacs.
[05:22] <szarak> royel: yeah, but he said it's bash there
[05:22] <OGR> =|[::ikonia_::] |=> but why surrender it is impossible  russian speech?
[05:22] <arami> yes its bash
[05:22] <esculapius> ikonia, using hal device manager i can see it
[05:22] <twb> ikonia_: excuse me?
[05:22] <ikonia_> esculapius you can only mount it with a cf card in it
[05:22] <esculapius> ikonia, how can i mount it
[05:22] <szarak> arami: could you paste the whole line from passwd for one user?
[05:22] <arami> and i didn't do any user setup. only creating a new one with adduser
[05:22] <ikonia_> twb where you asking where the man pages where
[05:23] <OGR> =|[::ikonia_::] |=> use?
[05:23] <esculapius> ikonia, there is in it
[05:23] <hjmills> daveR, nvu is the closest to dreamweaver  - most of the others are code editors for websites
[05:23] <twb> ikonia_: no.
[05:23] <arami> yes i can... wait a sec
[05:23] <royel> !pastebin | arami
[05:23] <esculapius> ikonia, how can i mount cf

[05:23] <ikonia_> esculapius it will be treated as a scsi disk then
[05:23] <esculapius> ikonia, then?
[05:23] <ikonia_> esculapius mount the scsi disk
[05:23] <ikonia_> OGR what ?
[05:23] <esculapius> ikonia, how?
[05:24] <daveR> hjmills: thats what i am looking for, something similar to the coding interface of dreamweaver.  with the auto completes and things for css/xhtml coding
[05:24] <ikonia_> esculapius same way as you do any other disk drive
[05:24] <mx123> i followed this guide Install from ati.com (latest version of drivers) but I got no screen when reboot
[05:24] <arami> hb:x:1000:1000:First Name,,,:/home/hb:/bin/bash
[05:24] <ikonia_> mx123 use the guide/drivers from ubuntu
[05:24] <esculapius> ikonia, how?
[05:24] <hjmills> daveR, good luck looking - try bluefish for gnome and quanta for kde
[05:24] <ikonia_> esculapius man mount
[05:24] <hjmills> daveR, i havent tried screem
[05:24] <ikonia_> screem is basic but ok
[05:25] <szarak> arami: looks fine ;|
[05:25] <mx123> i have used this guide but i got no screen
[05:25] <hjmills> ikonia_, so probably no tab complete etc
[05:25] <ikonia_> hjmills yeah that sort of thing
[05:25] <facugaich> How do I apply .diff patches to a source package?
[05:25] <ikonia_> facugaich patch
[05:25] <arami> so now a gave the root user a pass, so he can log on.
[05:25] <twb> facugaich: patch -p1 <file.diff
[05:26] <arami> since i did it, (5 mins) the loging did'nt die
[05:26] <twb> ikonia_: I was asking where the *info* pages were.
[05:26] <ikonia_> twb I see
[05:26] <twb> ikonia_: info pages are probably GFDL, therefore DFSG incompliant, therefore hard to find.
[05:26] <ikonia_> ok
[05:26] <szarak> royel: saw that? any clue? does things like full disk etc. can do that magic?
[05:27] <royel> arami: I asked if you were trying to use root before .. wish you had been clear
[05:27] <royel> arami: szarak: check disk quota
[05:27] <kbrosnan> zmeiat_joro: I reported the issue to the irc.mozilla.org ops. It might take a bit before one of them notices my message. You can reach me at #firefox on freenode
[05:27] <arami> 600 gig free *g*
[05:29] <soundray> kbrosnan: did you mean that for this channel?
[05:29] <arami> is it possible that this issue is just because root had no password? i only use root with sudo. I ask this question because i had the same issue on friday on a different machine. but on friday i reinstalled the whole thing
[05:30] <royel> szarak: yeah, disk quota or something he has inadvertantly changed with that user
[05:30] <Gov> can anyone help me with a problem i have installing ubuntu?
[05:30] <royel> arami: sudo is not the same as logging in as root, it simply gives your user the root powers
[05:30] <royel> !root | arami
[05:30] <ubotu> arami: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[05:31] <arami> yes I know that. thanks
[05:31] <kbrosnan> soundray: he left #firefox and posted that info here
[05:31] <Gov> boot of CD, start or install ubuntu. The install bar and logo pop up for couple mins then I just get a blank screen. I have also tried start ubuntu in safe graphics mode
[05:31] <Gov> can anyone help?
[05:31] <royel> arami: your problem has to be within the username that you were using to login with. If you can't resolve the problem, try creating a new normal user
[05:32] <royel> !anyone | gov
[05:32] <ubotu> gov: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[05:32] <Wuilliam> how can i do to verify in windwos my dvd ISO of ubuntu
[05:32] <hjmills> !md5
[05:32] <ubotu> To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[05:32] <arami> hmmm strange.....
[05:32] <Wuilliam> all the ppl tell me than veryfy that
[05:32] <hjmills> Wuilliam, last link
[05:32] <hjmills> !md5 > Wuilliam
[05:32] <Wuilliam> i'm using it, but i have problem
[05:32] <arami> i try out a few things and check if it has something to do with the root user having no passwod
[05:33] <szarak> arami: root don't need a password, when you use sudo in system
[05:33] <Wuilliam> when i write md5sum - FILENAME.md5 i dont know what to write that, i dont have a .md5 file, i have a .iso file
[05:33] <Gov> please help, what boot options should i set so i can do a text based install?
[05:33] <szarak> arami: it's default in ubuntu and it should not cause problems
[05:34] <szarak> Gov: download ubuntu-server ?
[05:34] <Gov> its ubuntu desktop
[05:34] <Wuilliam> i download desktop ubuntu
[05:34] <Wuilliam> DVD
[05:34] <Gov> cd
[05:34] <hjmills> Wuilliam, go to where you got the iso from and download the .md5 file from there
[05:34] <arami> yes but after setting a password (after doing sudo -s -H) the system keeps stable
[05:34] <Wuilliam> ok i will
[05:34] <szarak> Gov: afaik ubuntu desktop don't have such option
[05:34] <arami> for 10 mins or so
[05:34] <hjmills> Gov, get the alternate install cd
[05:35] <Gov> i have reburned the desktop version no luck :( i will download the server version if that will help. Does that come with a GUI?
[05:35] <Torb2k> Silly question, but does anyone know how to write an @ in Ubuntu with the keyboard of an Macbook?
[05:35] <szarak> Gov: during install no, but something similar in text mode
[05:35] <hjmills> Gov, get the alternate install cd - it has a cli interface for the installer
[05:35] <Gov> ok thanks
[05:35] <szarak> Gov: after install you can install a WM
[05:35] <Gov> where do i get the alternate cd?
[05:35] <hjmills> Gov, same place as the normal cd
[05:35] <hjmills> !alternate
[05:35] <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.
[05:36] <Gov> lol :) ok thanks
[05:36] <ghost> who is from china?
[05:36] <soundray> Torb2k: hey, I have that problem with the # key

[05:40] <ikonia_> esculapius666 you can mount it where you want
[05:40] <_mike3_> esculapius666: What is it you want to do?
[05:40] <Torb2k> gotta try out the british layout :)

[05:41] <mhiku> when compiling, how to specify the path of the libraries to a non standard path to search for shared libraries not using libtool?
[05:41] <Wuilliam> OMG i dont know what i need to download for verify my ISO, here is 2 files, md5sums and md5sums.gpg im in windows whic 1 i need
[05:41] <ikonia_> mhiku -I

[05:41] <Oz_Diver_68> I have a problem with LTSP and ubuntu.  I want to have auto login set for the terminals, but to have a different user for each terminal.   Any ideas?
[05:41] <hjmills> Wuilliam, open md5sums in notepad and look for the line for the dvd you downloaded
[05:42] <Wuilliam> ok i take it
[05:42] <hjmills> then run md5sum </path/to/dvd.iso> and compare them visually

[05:42] <cbx33> ping Seveas
[05:42] <Wuilliam> i will to do
[05:42] <blackest> crakehunter easist way is just install automatix
[05:43] <LjL> !automatix
[05:43] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[05:43] <royel> hjmills: if he's using notepad, you really think he can do # md5sum ? :)
[05:43] <Torb2k> Got no Right alt :P
[05:43] <blackest> lol ok
[05:43] <hjmills> royel, he was talking about using the windows md5sum program
[05:43] <Torb2k> Hmm, be back in a sec...
[05:43] <soundray> Torb2k: got a right option?
[05:43] <blackest> !WorksForMe
[05:43] <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.
[05:43] <bigmichi> hi =) i have a 32Bit kernel running, can i a 64Bit Kernel install??
[05:44] <Torb2k> soundray: yep, responds as rightclick at current mouse location
[05:44] <royel> hjmills: sarcasm an humor is lost so often in the internets :)
[05:44] <Wuilliam> omg, i download something for md5sum, i run, nothing happend
[05:44] <lmosher> After installing the latest kernel (.11) my X crashes. I'm pretty sure it's b/c my nVidia driver is not for the current kernel, but nvidia-glx says it's up to date. What gives?
[05:44] <Wuilliam> i run CMD, i go to the iso path,
[05:44] <soundray> Torb2k: try other combinations with Q then
[05:44] <hjmills> royel, lol
[05:44] <royel> Wuilliam: what did you download?
[05:44] <Wuilliam> but i need to weite md5sum -c XXX.md5
[05:44] <LjL> lmosher: you installed nvidia-glx from an external repository, didn't you?
[05:45] <Wuilliam> im following the obutu guide

[05:45] <lmosher> LjL, Yes I'm using the beta driver from albertmilone.com. However, I installed via repo, so I would have expected it to update?
[05:45] <pitillo> hi good afternoon. Anyone got i2c_i801 chipset working on edgy?
[05:45] <LjL> lmosher: if it has been updated... are you sure it has?
[05:46] <LjL> !nvidia9 | lmosher, these ones are updated anyway
[05:46] <ubotu> lmosher, these ones are updated anyway: For Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft), you can obtain the (unsupported!) 9746 version of the binary NVidia drivers by using this repository: deb http://nvidia.limitless.lupine.me.uk/ubuntu edgy stable
[05:47] <lmosher> LjL, I'll try that repo. If the driver hasn't been updated, why is it still crashing X on the new kernel? Oh it's probably the restricted modules
[05:47] <lmosher> ?
[05:47] <aalhamad> if i have a bug in bluefish where can i report it?
[05:47] <LjL> lmosher: hm? if it *hasn't* been updated, then it's normal that X won't start
[05:47] <LjL> lmosher: though it shouldn't "crash", it should just refuse to start
[05:48] <hjmills> aalhamad, check the bluefish website or if its an ubuntu version then tell the package maintainer
[05:48] <_Jaak_> what vnc server does ubu use
[05:48] <pbureau> Morning to all
[05:48] <lmosher> LjL, Yeah my terminology is incorrect, it just won't start. So basically if it hasn't updated (I'm checking that repo now) then I'll just need to wait until there is a new version?
[05:48] <aalhamad> great and how can i fix it ?
[05:48] <LjL> lmosher: yes. that's the flip side of using third-party repositories...
[05:48] <Wuilliam> hjmills: i download that, i "open whit..." md5sum is verifying something
[05:49] <hjmills> Wuilliam, good
[05:49] <LjL> lmosher: even the ones i've given above weren't updated during the first couple of days after the kernel update
[05:49] <hjmills> Wuilliam, write down what it tells you
[05:49] <lmosher> LjL, yeah :/ Ohwell I can deal it's not like the new kernel had any changes I actually would notice.
[05:49] <LjL> lmosher: keep in mind that, when the kernel gets an update, you can always still boot the old one
[05:49] <becki> hi
[05:49] <pitillo> well, I will continue reading and using acpi to see it. Thanks anyway.
[05:49] <nchmilo> ola

[05:50] <joh> Right, I'm having trouble with an NTFS filesystem with strange charsets - any way to make mount ignore the characters with high bits or something similar? :P
[05:50] <lmosher> LjL: Hrm ok it is installing a new version of the linux restricted modules, so that might fix the driver, or no? There isn't an updated version of nvidia-glx...
[05:50] <LjL> lmosher: it'll probably work, yes
[05:50] <hjmills> Wuilliam, lots of random digits? write it down :D then open the md5sums file from the ubuntu website in notepad and compare the thing you wrote down to the number for what you downloaded
[05:50] <lmosher> LjL: Cool thanks.
[05:51] <becki> how can i remove all kde packages? i mean all packages listed in the kde desctop enviroyment section.
[05:51] <lmosher> Another question regarding kernel updates: Why does it re-set my grub menu list? I've organized it the way I like (i.e. my generic kernel first, then windows XP). After an update it deletes my windows listing. I'd rather is just add the new kernel options :/
[05:51] <Wuilliam> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6589/
[05:51] <LjL> lmosher: hm, yeah, it does that
[05:51] <JONES3700> uh oh, installed nv drivers and now i'm stuck with 800x600 reso, can't change it from xserver or from anywhere
[05:52] <Wuilliam> hjmills that is the pasebin http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6589/
[05:52] <LjL> lmosher: not sure there's any workaround (besides making a backup)
[05:52] <hjmills> becki, i guess you would do a kind of "show all packages that depend on kde-libs"
[05:52] <dyrne> becki: trick is to remove a common dependancy a kde lib or something
[05:53] <Wuilliam> hjmills what do i need to do now?
[05:53] <lmosher> LjL, Ok, I can deal, I wasn't sure if I was doing something wrong in my menu.lst that made it get reset. It's no big deal it's just a little annoyance every time I update a kernel.
[05:53] <hjmills> Wuilliam, give me a moment - im at work so cant give free support 100% of the time
[05:53] <blackest> jones 3700 ati has something like sudo aticonfig --resolution=0,800x600,640x480 (just put in the resolutions you want) I would think nvidia would be similar
[05:53] <Wuilliam> hjmills jejeje ok sorry
[05:54] <royel> Wuilliam: the image is good
[05:54] <Dextorion> hm. I cant delete files from my cameras memory card. Would that be something in my fstab perhaps?
[05:55] <Dextorion> It automounts when ever i connect it.
[05:55] <Wuilliam> royel ok, now is the problem, i will to boot and i select the languaje, and nothing happend, the little bar go letf and right, hours and hours, and never run
[05:55] <dyrne> Dextorion: sudo rm doesnt work?
[05:55] <blackest> dextorion do you get a lock on the icon ?
[05:55] <hjmills> Wuilliam, compare this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6590/ to whats in the md5sums file
[05:55] <aalhamad> bluefish crashes when i try to save a file ...? how can i fix it?
[05:55] <Dextorion> blackest: nope.   dyrne give me a sec.
[05:56] <blackest> not got the write protect tab on have you?
[05:56] <royel> hjmills: his image is good, though his dvd may not be
[05:56] <Wuilliam> hjmills is the same ID
[05:57] <Dextorion> dyrne: Thing is that its actually mounted as my user Oo
[05:57] <hjmills> Wuilliam, then the download is fine :D good - now reburn the iso at 1x (slowest poss speed)
[05:57] <Dextorion> dyrne: And when i delete the things, they look like they are gone.
[05:57] <Wuilliam> i run a 64bit CD and i can to RUN the LIve, but whit the DVD and CD 32 bit, i cant
[05:57] <Dextorion> dyrne: Untill next time i mount it.  Then all the pictures are there again. Oo
[05:57] <Orfeous> hm..
[05:58] <Jordan> Hi!
[05:58] <Dextorion> dyrne: in nautilus this is.  I'll do some more testing.
[05:58] <Dextorion> hey
[05:58] <`Matir> Dextorion, it's probably caching the changes and never writing them to the memory card
[05:58] <Jordan> I have a newbie question - I'll wait my turn
[05:58] <hjmills> bye all
[05:59] <Wuilliam> i dont know why, whit the 64bit cd i cant to run the live , but whit the 32bit cd and dvd i cant
[05:59] <atomiku> Jordan: its okay, you can ask now
[05:59] <Dextorion> `Matir: hm. okay
[05:59] <rmd_> Jordan: just ask
[05:59] <blackest> Dextorion do you "eject" the disk sometimes the os avoids writing till it has to
[05:59] <Wuilliam> sorry, 64bit runs well
[05:59] <Wuilliam> 32bit wont run
[05:59] <charl_ie> !ask
[05:59] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:00] <Jordan> I know this sounds like I'm a PC idiot but I'm tied to AOL - for the next half a year (don't ask). Is there any work around for getting connected to AOL on Ubuntu?
[06:00] <srdjant> Greetings. Is there a package for m68k-linux-gcc anywhere? I can't find it in multiverse/universe in kubuntu dapper.

[06:03] <Jordan> Do you think there would be any work around
[06:03] <dredog> hello everyone
[06:03] <alephant> This is an ubuntu-server install; no GUI
[06:03] <AlphaPi> bye
[06:03] <alephant> I guess I want to use a combination of udev to create device names and hal to mount it
[06:03] <Wuilliam> i dont know, i have a cd 32bit and a cd 64bit, whit the 1st i cant to install, i select the languaje and nothing happend i need to restart. but the 64bit cd i can to install, what happened?
[06:03] <alephant> but I can't find any docs about how this works in Ubuntu
[06:03] <plumix> I got security probleme someone is routing all my connection to this server  10.88.128.1
[06:03] <alephant> can anybody give me any pointers please?
[06:03] <cheeseboy16> how do i make a partion active in gparted?
[06:03] <plumix> can some help me please
[06:04] <Jordan> No? Nevermind
[06:04] <royel> Jordan: So your looking for a solution to still use their software in Ubuntu?
[06:04] <rmd_> Jordan: does your modem log you on or do you need aol software to send your user/pass?
[06:04] <Jordan> Not at all - their can stick the software. Don't use it anyway - but you need the software to connect
[06:04] <plumix> no modem cable
[06:04] <Wuilliam> i was verifyed my iso
[06:04] <cheeseboy16> how do i make a partion active in gparted?
[06:05] <royel> Jordan: hmm.. there should be something for that.. lets ask google
[06:05] <Jordan> I'm praying at this end :D
[06:05] <Orfeous> is it possible to "convert" from ubuntu to kubuntu?
[06:06] <alephant> Orfeous: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[06:06] <alecjw> Orfeous, sudo aptitude isntall kubuntu-desktop
[06:06] <cheeseboy16> how do i make a partion active in gparted?
[06:06] <alecjw> !patience | cheeseboy16
[06:06] <ubotu> cheeseboy16: The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[06:06] <alecjw> Orfeous, sorry. i meant  sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[06:07] <soundray> cheeseboy16: it's unnecessary if you use grub
[06:07] <axiety> helllow, how can i change the encoding of my ubuntu 6.10 to Unicode ?
[06:07] <plumix> what is the command to replace tracert in linnux ?
[06:07] <Jordan> I can't see much on google
[06:07] <brianski> plumix, traceroute
[06:07] <plumix> thanks
[06:07] <HymnToLife> axiety, dpkg-reconfigure locale
[06:07] <alephant> plumix: traceroute is often in /usr/sbin and not on a normal user's $PATH
[06:07] <brianski> axiety, by default it shoud be en-US.UTF-8 or so
[06:07] <alephant> plumix: also try mtr, which is a bit more featureful.
[06:08] <axiety> the real problem is that i cant see arabic or hebrow chars in aMSN..
[06:08] <alephant> So anybody have any experience with automounting USB hdds using udev + dbus + hal?
[06:08] <brianski> locale-gen en_US.UTF-8 ; echo "export LANG=en_US.UTF-8" >>~/.bash_profile
[06:08] <brianski> or so
[06:09] <blackest> alephant i just plug em in and they work
[06:09] <plumix> thnks
[06:09] <rpc> is it ok to make a single 200GB ext3 partition or will that kill the performance?
[06:09] <alephant> blackest: that doesn't help :-D
[06:09] <mjr> rpc, it's ok
[06:09] <royel> Jordan: no router, just a dsl modem an 1 computer?
[06:10] <rpc> mjr thank you.. so definetly the partition size doesn't matter in case of ext3?
[06:10] <Jordan> I have a spare unused router I could use
[06:10] <alephant> I can manually mount just fine; I want to automatically mount the device as soon as it's plugged in.
[06:10] <blackest> yours dont do that then aleph...
[06:10] <Jordan> But otherwise just dsl
[06:10] <mjr> rpc, well, I think it has a limit somewhere in the couple of terabytes region currently, but before that, no it doesn't matter
[06:10] <Jordan> ...modem
[06:11] <HymnToLife> locales*
[06:11] <soundray> alephant: system-preferences-removable drives
[06:11] <blackest> ah try diskmounter  its a taskbar widgit
[06:11] <royel> Jordan: you might have good luck using the router, you can use teh PPPoE to use yoru credentials to connect to the service
[06:12] <royel> Jordan: I'm quite sure there is a way to do this in Linux, but since I dont have to use this method myself, I'm not terribly familiar with it
[06:12] <alephant> This is an ubuntu-server system.  There is no GUI.
[06:12] <Jordan> I'll play royel! :)
[06:13] <soundray> !autofs | alephant

[06:18] <tuna-fish-> how can i get rid of it?
[06:18] <soundray> MadHenry: sorry, no one here can help you install your bathtub.
[06:18] <plumix> thanks charlie !

[06:18] <betatux> !question > me
[06:18] <silox> Hi. I try to set my Download folder on a mounted smb share in Ktorrent, but ktorrent just keeps crashing when it starts to download... Any ideas?
[06:18] <MadHenry> how can I install firefox 2 ? i
[06:18] <MadHenry> i'm new to linux
[06:18] <doojin> hello guys
[06:18] <doojin> I got grub error 17
[06:19] <royel> silox: whats permissions on teh share?
[06:19] <soundray> !firefox | MadHenry
[06:19] <ubotu> MadHenry: firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins
[06:19] <doojin> I couldn't boot by harddisk but by cdrom
[06:19] <doojin> How can I fix grub?
[06:19] <silox> royel: full
[06:20] <royel> silox: does it work properly if you change the download directory to a local file?
[06:20] <soundray> tuna-fish-: examine the postrm script (it's in /var/lib/dpkg/info/) and see why it fails
[06:20] <MadHenry> Can anyone tell me how to install things in ubuntu?
[06:20] <soundray> !install | MadHenry
[06:20] <ubotu> MadHenry: 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
[06:20] <soundray> !software |Madh
[06:20] <ubotu> Madh: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents and !Offline
[06:20] <silox> royel yes if i set it to download to ex. /home/user it works perfect
[06:20] <royel> !packages | MadHenry
[06:20] <ubotu> MadHenry: You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search <keywords>", the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways!
[06:20] <MadHenry> thanks :)
[06:20] <mboso> is there a command that can tell me what resolution and color depth X is running at?
[06:21] <tuna-fish-> soundray: the scrip is just an empty file
[06:21] <royel> silox: I would double check that the mount point of your share has the correct permissions an that it actually is mounted
[06:21] <darren> just installed ubuntu...and to be honest cant wait to go back to using xp
[06:21] <doojin> grub error 17 : Cannot mount selected partitionThis error is returned if the partition requested exists, but the filesystem type cannot be recognized by GRUB.
[06:21] <darren> too much hassle to install software
[06:21] <doojin> How can I fix grub error number 17?
[06:21] <silox> royel it has the correct permissions and its correct mounted, belive me
[06:21] <doojin> the filesystem type is ext3
[06:22] <HymnToLife> doojin, reinstall the xp bootloader, goodbye.
[06:22] <doojin> HymnToLife : That's what I thought before
[06:22] <axiety> can someone with a little knowlage PM me :)
[06:22] <doojin> I just want to fix grub
[06:22] <charl_ie> doojin: how is your hard drive partitioned?
[06:22] <HymnToLife> axiety, why don't you ask your question here ?
[06:22] <Wulfie> hey folks - I am trying to get a deb package from a ubuntu mirror (without apt-get) where are the packages actually kept - I can only find the package lists
[06:22] <silox> royel it starts to download for a while then when it comes up to speed ktorrent freezes and crashs..
[06:22] <doojin> two ntfs partitions, one ext3, one linux swap
[06:22] <doojin> one ntfs partition is just for movies
[06:22] <axiety> well, its a little too missy...
[06:23] <soundray> tuna-fish-: that's easy then: edit it to contain a line that says '!#/bin/bash' and a second one that reads 'exit 0' (no quotes). Make sure it's executable (sudo chmod 777 package.postrm)
[06:23] <charl_ie> doojin: what are the linux names (hda1 ect.)
[06:23] <doojin> I'm now on livecd linux
[06:23] <doojin> charl_ie : it is ubuntu 6.10
[06:23] <royel> silox: only does that if your downloading to the share?
[06:23] <tuna-fish-> thanks
[06:23] <silox> royel yes..
[06:23] <SevenInchBread> hmmm... alright... there's some weirdness going on with my wlan card...
[06:23] <soundray> Wulfie: under ubuntu/pool/
[06:24] <mindstate> when i try to run "glxinfo |grep direct" i get this glxinfo: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory..any ideas?
[06:24] <doojin> 17 : Cannot mount selected partition. This error is returned if the partition requested exists, but the filesystem type cannot be recognized by GRUB.
[06:24] <Jordan> Royel: Yeah, here I am
[06:24] <royel> silox: is the share on a server or windows machine?
[06:24] <charl_ie> joojin: sorry, i meant the partitions. I assume you have ntfs for hda1 and Hda2, ext3 for hda3 and swap for hda4
[06:24] <royel> Jordan: check your pm's?
[06:24] <RememberPOL> Does anyone know why the module 'profile' doesn't come with the python package? (either version 2.4 or 2.5)...
[06:24] <SevenInchBread> I've tried a bunch of stuff with ndiswrapper already... the hardware is detected, and the wlan adapter can locate an access point... it just won't make a connection...
[06:24] <silox> royel, it is on a lan harddrive
[06:24] <royel> Jordan: I sent a link that might help you do what you need
[06:24] <doojin> grub error 17 : Cannot mount selected partition. This error is returned if the partition requested exists, but the file system type cannot be recognized by GRUB.
[06:25] <charl_ie> doojin: can you pastebin grubs menu.lst
[06:25] <Wulfie> soundray: thanks
[06:25] <doojin> charl_ie : sure
[06:25] <royel> silox: I understand that, but it's on another box somewhere? running linux/windows?
[06:25] <doojin> charl_ie : what is the website?
[06:25] <SevenInchBread> RemberPOL, hmmm.. no clue... if you want I can send you a copy of mine. :)
[06:25] <charl_ie> !pastebin | doojin
[06:25] <ubotu> doojin: 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)
[06:26] <silox> royel, it is an external lan harddrive
[06:26] <royel> silox: what I'm getting at, is it sounds like you'd be a better candidate for something like torrentflux
[06:26] <Jordan> I didn't get any royel
[06:26] <royel> Jordan: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_Broadband_ADSL.2FPPPoE_Client_.28RP-PPPoE.29
[06:26] <silox> royel, yes but i cant get torrentflux to accept the mounted folder...
[06:26] <Jordan> Thanks ;)
[06:27] <royel> Jordan: good luck :)
[06:27] <RememberPOL> SevenInchBread: You have profile?
[06:27] <SevenInchBread> Yeah... but I'm on Windows.
[06:27] <RememberPOL> Heh
[06:27] <RememberPOL> I have profile.py
[06:27] <SevenInchBread> (-ahems-... because I'm having trouble with my wlan card)
[06:27] <jfx> what's the difference between /etc/init.d/mysql start and /etc/rc.d/mysql start ?
[06:27] <royel> silox: so, your mount is actually a NAS device?
[06:27] <RememberPOL> But it wasn't installed with the mainstream ubuntu package
[06:27] <mindstate> when i try to run "glxinfo |grep direct" i get this glxinfo: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory..any ideas?
[06:27] <sexcopter> hey, if anyone's around who remembers the woes i had with screen resolution, i fixed it! Just had to change a video buffer setting in the bios, that's all. Amazing how just one switch can fix something that took a lot of head-banging!
[06:27] <SevenInchBread> that would be a problem. :/
[06:28] <doojin> charl_ie : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6598/
[06:28] <silox> royel, yes :)
[06:28] <RememberPOL> mindstate: Reinstall OpenGL?
[06:28] <tuna-fish-> soundray: it worked. thanks a lot!
[06:28] <silox> royel, sorry for my really bad english :P
[06:28] <soundray> tuna-fish-: well done
[06:28] <royel> silox: its ok
[06:28] <axiety> i want to install the newest aMSN, downloaded 0.96.2-.... .package and i dont know what t do with it :-)
[06:28] <Noiano-lap> hello
[06:28] <mindstate> RememberPOL: can i do it with apt?
[06:28] <doojin> charl_ie : are you on?
[06:29] <soundray> tuna-fish-: would you mind filing a bug against the package?
[06:29] <axiety> ubuntu 6.10
[06:29] <Noiano-lap> How can I see if my pcmcia card is supported by ubuntu?
[06:29] <dyrne> axiety: what is the extension on the file you downloaded?
[06:29] <axiety> as i said .package
[06:29] <RememberPOL> mindstate: What video card?
[06:29] <royel> silox: I really can't imagine there being any reason for it not to work.. -- you have no trouble any other time with the NAS drive?
[06:30] <mindstate> RememberPOL: ATI Radeon 7000/VE
[06:30] <valehru_> hey guys, is there any app besides phpmyadmin that has a gui to manipulate mysql tables?  ie. insert data into tables etc...
[06:30] <RememberPOL> dunno sorry
[06:30] <tuna-fish-> soundray: okay. will do
[06:30] <royel> valehru_: webmin
[06:30] <soundray> Noiano-lap: run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' and plug it in. If it isn't supported, you should see some error messages. If it is supported, you should see some messages regarding the driver loading etc.
[06:30] <rmd_> anyone happen to know how to turn join/part/quit messages off in xchat?
[06:30] <RememberPOL> soundray: Could you possibly test if you system is missing a package module like mine is?
[06:30] <silox> royel, no its nearly brand new, works perfect in Windows...
[06:30] <novice> I just now installed gtalk in ubuntu..........where shld i look to run gtalk?? can anyone plz help me??
[06:31] <soundray> RememberPOL: can you explain a bit more?
[06:31] <Noiano-lap> thanks soundray
[06:31] <tuna-fish-> soundray: actually, it's not on official repos but it is on a HOWTO on a sticky on the forums.
[06:31] <{Nathan}> novice, open a terminal and type gtalk
[06:31] <RememberPOL> soundray: `python` then `import profile`
[06:31] <rp3> when i try to run gdmsetup it fails, says "Failed to connect to socket, sleep 1 second and retry"
[06:31] <royel> silox: hehe, works perfect in linux too? besides this issue with kTorrent
[06:31] <tuna-fish-> soundray: I'll also inform the mod who put it there.
[06:31] <asti> valehru_: mysql-query-browser
[06:31] <soundray> tuna-fish-: good idea
[06:31] <RememberPOL> soundray: The profile module is supposed to be part of the python standard library package, but it's missing on my system...
[06:32] <Wulfie> I am running 64 bit release - is there an easy way to install a 32 bit firefox?
[06:32] <rp3> Could not access GDM configuration file.  what should I do next?
[06:32] <silox> royel, yes works perfect to copy files to it etc. but ktorrent cant handle it...
[06:32] <valehru_> asti, thx
[06:32] <axiety> i want to install the newest aMSN on my Ubuntu 6.10,so i downloaded ' amsn-0.96-2.tcl84.x86.package ' and i dont know what t do with it :-)....
[06:32] <soundray> RememberPOL: fails here, too
[06:32] <SevenInchBread> heh, maybe if I keep elaborating someone will help.  The latest thing I've tried is here: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=201902&highlight=wmp54g     ...but that did't solve the problem any more than all the other solutions I've seen. The hardware is present and working, it just doesn't seem to want to actively attach itself to an access point..
[06:32] <RememberPOL> >_>
[06:32] <dyrne> rp3: sudo or gksudo gdmsetup

[06:37] <oranged> anyone know the status of drivers for toshiba laptops with phoenix bios?
[06:37] <defrysk> axiety, there is a lot of controverse about .package so dont complain about probs that might occur
[06:37] <royel> silox: # sudo chmod 777 /media/landisk
[06:37] <valehru_> asti, does that support importing csv files into a table?
[06:38] <amar_> !gtalk
[06:38] <ubotu> gtalk is an instant messaging program from Google. Currently, Google does not have an official standalone gtalk client for Linux (though you can chat via your browser in gmail) but supports connections from third party clients such as gaim. See: http://www.google.com/talk/otherclients.html
[06:38] <silox> royel, already done that..
[06:38] <bigbang14> xine wont show quicktime videos in firefox
[06:38] <rmd_> bigbang14, did you instalal the codec?
[06:38] <axiety> ok defrysk after chmod +x'ing it .. ?
[06:38] <igge> hello people!
[06:38] <bigbang14> how would i do so?
[06:38] <rp3> interesting
[06:38] <defrysk> axiety, its executable now, just doubleclick it
[06:38] <rp3> will try that.
[06:39] <rfschmid> I'd like to play a real audio stream (ram), but after installing the standard codecs (easyubuntu) I still can't. Any ideas?
[06:39] <defrysk> axiety, and let it do its thing
[06:39] <royel> silox: try again silox, your paste to me clearly shows that only root has write permissions.
[06:39] <igge> I'm having problem with sound.. don't hear anything at all... Where should I start to search?
[06:39] <rmd_> bigbang14, i would actually suggest installing VLC and then the mozilla-vlc plugin :-/
[06:39] <Rob59-Cinti-OH> In Ubuntu 6.10 is can I change permissions on file systems using either natulus or pysdm?   I want to open windows files for read/write...  most are fat system so I can share in Linux
[06:39] <soundray> rfschmid: what are you using to play the stream?
[06:39] <noiano> soundray: I checked for the kernel messages and there are no errors
[06:39] <bigbang14> ill give it a shot!
[06:39] <soundray> noiano: any messages at all?
[06:39] <axiety> defrysk, how can i know if it done its job?
[06:39] <rfschmid> soundray: I've tried totem.
[06:40] <noiano> soundray: there are some messages...i will now paste the output
[06:40] <igge> my soundcard is working and so.. I think it's something with surround or whatever... had a similar problem before but now the solution I used then don't work...
[06:40] <defrysk> axiety, a gui should pop up
[06:40] <soundray> rfschmid: try mplayer instead, feeding it the URL on the command line
[06:40] <soundray> noiano: no
[06:40] <soundray> noiano: no pasting in the channel please
[06:40] <up365> igge, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 this is a good place to start

[06:40] <noiano> soundray: I do know that....
[06:41] <igge> up365: ok thanks! looking there..
[06:41] <soundray> noiano: good. I'm allergic to pasting, and so are the ops ;)

[06:43] <royel> silox: the Ktorrent is trying to write to /media/landisk  even though we both know that is the NAS, Ktorrent only sees it as a folder somewhere with wrong permissions, if you change that with # sudo chmod 777 /media/landisk  everyone should be able to write to that location
[06:44] <up365> igge, now that was easy
[06:44] <boubbin> becki i dont have ubuntu yet installed so i have only one /home, but im going to make own partitions to ubuntu or is it nessessary ?

[06:50] <novice> can anyone plz explain me, how to reach firefox launching script??
[06:50] <langiro> thanks
[06:50] <skeleton> How do I access the partitioning tool in Ubuntu?
[06:51] <CapaH> linxeh: You can use mIRC on linux through wine
[06:51] <rmd_> novice, just type firefox in a console window
[06:51] <SpacePuppy> novice: which firefox ?
[06:51] <novice> 1.5
[06:51] <bjornolai> skeleton, I think you want to install gparted
[06:51] <linxeh> CapaH: sure, but he should ask in ##mirc if he has mirc questions, not here. if he has a wine question then sure, ask here
[06:51] <rp3> dyrne tried to move it to S21.. and now itasked for a pw but still didn't start??
[06:51] <linxeh> CapaH: mIRC tends to crash quite regularly on wine anyway
[06:51] <shigutso> rmd_, the person who knows the answer will not see my question if I don't repeat, because this channel is very active :/
[06:52] <linxeh> shigutso: maybe repeat every 20 minutes then
[06:52] <silox> royel, already tried that to ^^
[06:52] <linxeh> shigutso: people do scan back over the buffers when they come back (I know I do)

[06:52] <novice> rmd_:u mean in terminal ??

[06:53] <silox> royel, i will try to make a new smb share in the nas drive and see if it helps..
[06:53] <linxeh> axiety: you might need to install extra fonts
[06:53] <skeleton> siegfried_: I think you need your account username and password.
[06:53] <royel> silox: umount it then, create a new mount directory an set the permission on that folder to 777 first. mount to that new mnt directory an see what happens
[06:53] <SpacePuppy> siegfried__: or try root
[06:53] <axiety> linxeh  can you tell me how ?
[06:53] <skeleton> the one you log on to Ubuntu with
[06:53] <soundray> shigutso: which partition is it that grub can't mount?

[06:55] <rmd_> rylan, the GPG problem?
[06:55] <shigutso> soundray, SDA1 'or' HDA1... it is hd(0,0)
[06:55] <royel> silox: OH, you might wanna check the permissions in the NAS drive too then
[06:55] <linxeh> axiety: can you see arabic text in other applications ?
[06:55] <Ferret> bigbang14: The real error is often above that, look for the first sign of an error
[06:55] <siegfried__> I'll need a few minutes to read it and boot... Thanks...
[06:55] <shigutso> soundray, where can I paste my menu.lst to show you?
[06:55] <linxeh> axiety: for example in firefox pages ?
[06:55] <Rob59-Cinti-OH> In Ubuntu 6.10 is can I change permissions on file systems using either natulus or pysdm?   I want to open windows files for read/write...  most are fat system so I can share in Linux

[06:58] <SevenInchBread> >.>  any module?

[06:58] <plumix> ok thanks ! it realy a different world ! ;)
[06:58] <linxeh> plumix: and think of something you want to do, then read the wiki / forums to find out how to do it
[06:59] <rylan> rmd_,  so that is to say, not bloody likely it will work nice.
[06:59] <rmd_> plumix, yeah.. poke around with it.. but be careful if it ever asks for your password, because that means you're about to do something that could screw you up
[06:59] <soundray> shigutso: I'm not familiar with ubuntu.exe -- does it install in the Windows partition somehow?
[06:59] <linxeh> soundray: yes
[06:59] <plumix> k thks rmd_
[06:59] <rmd_> rylan, i feel your pain.  i've spent a good deal of time figuring out wine only to find out that MS Streets & Trips works like total crap.. if it ever boots
[06:59] <shigutso> soundray, yea, it doesnt create any new partition
[06:59] <linxeh> soundray: it creates a file on the windows drive, and runs ubuntu with a filesystem in that file (iirc)
[07:00] <linxeh> soundray:  its a bit  like the thing you used to be able to do with linux to boot it from dos/windows via loadlin.exe i guess
[07:00] <alecjw> hi. does anyone know waht port rhytmbox's music sharing uses, and how to connet to someone else's music share?

[07:01] <up365> plumix, Play with it and theres a lot to learned at Ubuntu forums.org
[07:01] <shigutso> soundray, ubuntu.exe works that way:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/install.exe#head-93c4766302889907a22a5f5c39ee7e99cd92c83b

[07:03] <Frost^> Good day. I'm looking for an Ubuntu handbook. Is there something like it availabe? (e.g. includes explanations about the init system, building packages etc.)
[07:03] <linxeh> Frost^: the wiki
[07:03] <royel> silox: give me more info on the NAS drive, is this a linux box with a drive you share or a purchased NAS device?
[07:03] <linxeh> Frost^: there is an official book too, as well as a starter guide in the wiki
[07:03] <soundray> shigutso: so it's really GRLDR that's throwing your error?
[07:03] <rbs-tito> To connect to a WPA network on edgy with my RT2500 card do I just put the key into the administration > networking tool?
[07:03] <linxeh> Frost^: ubuntu is heavily based on debian, so you will find documentation on the init system etc on debian pages too I guess
[07:04] <Frost^> Thank you.
[07:04] <shigutso> soundray, yes, and not the windows bootloader
[07:04] <linxeh> Frost^: and you can ask here of course :)
[07:04] <shigutso> soundray, grub that can't mount the file system :/
[07:04] <Frost^> Will do ;)

[07:09] <linxeh> Beltz: I use ubuntu desktop as a home server because it has a gui which makes some configuration tasks easier
[07:10] <linxeh> Beltz: for a high demand server, or if memory was an issue, I would install the server only with no gui
[07:10] <royel> silox: you might try this, mount //192.168.0.200/solen /media/landisk -t smbfs dmask=777,fmask=777  (of course- umount /media/landisk) first
[07:11] <Beltz> It's for very very low demand (to test apps)

[07:11] <bigbang14> do i need a plugin to play quicktime through mplayer through fierfox
[07:11] <morteng> please  how do I log in as root ?
[07:11] <Beltz> Are some things missing in the server, that are in the desktop edition?

[07:11] <bruenig> bigbang14, mozilla-mplayer
[07:11] <linxeh> Beltz: if it wont have a monitor, then install the base server. if it has a monitor, you'd just as well install X to make it easier on you
[07:11] <bruenig> !rootsudo | morteng
[07:11] <ubotu> morteng: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[07:11] <royel> Beltz: problems ? :)
[07:11] <linxeh> Beltz: not really - all the packages can be installed on both
[07:12] <Rob59-Cinti-OH> In Ubuntu 6.10 can I change permissions on file systems using either natulus or pysdm?  All permission boxes are grayed out in natulus and I can't figure out how to launch with gksudo.
[07:12] <Rob59-Cinti-OH> I want to open windows files for read/write...  most are fat system so I can share in Linux, I just need to get permissions set up correctly.
[07:12] <royel> Beltz: instability ? :)
[07:12] <linxeh> Beltz: they both use the same packages and repositories, just server installs less and doesnt install X
[07:12] <bruenig> Rob59-Cinti-OH, use the terminal
[07:12] <Beltz> No problems, I'm just curious if there is any downside to using the server edition actually
[07:12] <linxeh> Beltz: you dont get a gui by default :)
[07:12] <Beltz> linxeh: What is "X"?
[07:12] <kantlivelong> hey all
[07:12] <linxeh> Beltz: the GUI
[07:12] <siegfried__> rmd_,  I'm trying to following the directions at http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/10/13/enabling-cupsys-web-admin-interface/. It says to add a user cupsys. There is already such a user and I tried to change the password on it. When I go back to http://localhost:631 it does not accept this username/password.
[07:12] <Beltz> Ack, no gui? Console only?
[07:12] <kantlivelong> anyone here good w/ cups?
[07:12] <Beltz> So as a newbie, I should go with desktop, riiiiight?
[07:13] <bruenig> !anyone
[07:13] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[07:13] <royel> Beltz: sorry, wasn't asking .. I was implying there is trouble with a Desktop install for a server role :)
[07:13] <linxeh> Beltz: my home server is a "server" installation, but I then later installed the latest ubuntu desktop packages from the repositories
[07:13] <Flannel> Beltz: if you user the server kernel with a GUI, you'll have percieved lag sometimes, because the server kernel doesn't PREEMPT
[07:13] <linxeh> royel: there isnt
[07:13] <Rob59-Cinti-OH> bruenig;  that is an option.  How do you launch natulus manually though?
[07:13] <Beltz> royel: ahhh
[07:13] <linxeh> royel: not for a home dev server anyway
[07:13] <royel> Beltz: linxeh: it was a jest..
[07:14] <bruenig> Rob59-Cinti-OH, a root nautilus is launched with "gksudo nautilus"
[07:14] <linxeh> royel: sorry, I've been hanging out with some sysadmins today that are really anal about locking machines down - to the point they wont even install vim on production machines
[07:14] <Beltz> So the day I'll need a dedicated home server, the server edition is best. but for personal use, and as the distro that will take my cherry, I should go with desktop. Confirm/deny?
[07:14] <bigbang14> bruenig: got that but my plugin stops playing before it can start
[07:14] <royel> Beltz: once you get used to the console, you'll really like the power, but for those that need a bit more, things like 'webmin' really help managing certain aspects of a server
[07:15] <Flannel> Beltz: Linux doesn't really differentiate between "server" and "desktop"
[07:15] <linxeh> Beltz: I've used the desktop edition as a production server with no problems
[07:15] <bruenig> stops playing before it can start makes no sense, it must start before it can stop, I don't understand
[07:15] <linxeh> Beltz: you can configure either version to do exactly what you want
[07:15] <Beltz> okay
[07:15] <linxeh> Beltz: I would strongly advise you use the desktop CD to start off with as it will be much easier to use and get into
[07:15] <bruenig> confirm/deny sounds like somebody has gotten used to vista's new security features
[07:15] <royel> Beltz: webmin provides a webgui to manage nearly all aspects of a server
[07:16] <Beltz> Is there a LiveCD that lets me try out both xubuntu, kubuntu, ubuntu versions from the same CD? Or do I need to burn a bunch of cds?
[07:16] <linxeh> royel: and a whole bunch of security holes to boot ;-)
[07:16] <bruenig> Beltz, bunch of cd's
[07:16] <linxeh> not that it matters for a home server :)
[07:16] <Flannel> Beltz: actually, If I were you, I'd get the alternate CD.  It has two version you'll be interested in, a GUI install, and a gui-less install.
[07:16] <Beltz> linxeh: thanks, I'm realizing that is probably best indeed
[07:16] <Beltz> alternate cd? That's a cd that has both server and non server on it?
[07:16] <Flannel> Beltz: for that, you'll need all three CDs.  But actually, if you're willing to sacrifice a day or whatever, you can install all three on a machine, side by side,
[07:17] <royel> linxeh: yeah, but we are talking about a home server, GET Away from those Sysadmins.. your becoming anal like them :)
[07:17] <Flannel> Beltz: well, it has an install option that isn't a GUI, it's not exactly the same as the full fledged "server" CD (no special kernel by default)
[07:17] <varsendaggr> i am trying to figure out the usage of site scooper....    i think i am missing a program but i don't know wha the usage is.    i may not be printing to the correct files
[07:17] <bruenig> Beltz, what are you looking for exactly, you can probably look at the features and whatnot of each and figure out, and look at screenshots
[07:17] <Flannel> Beltz: and no LAMP preinstall

[07:18] <tuskernini> IS there an EASY way to reinstall grub after installing windows on a hard drive that has ubuntu on another partition?
[07:19] <Flannel> Beltz: but, X/K/Ubuntu can all be installed on the same machine, so its easy enough to try them out by just installing all three.  Of course,  You probably don't want to keep the machine like that (that's a lot of cruft), so you'd *probably* want to reinstall/remove two/one of them, but if you've got the space, it's no big deal
[07:19] <czarek> mwi tu ktos po polsku?
[07:19] <Flannel> !grub | tuskernini, first link
[07:19] <ubotu> tuskernini, first link: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[07:19] <Beltz> One final question - I have an ideal partition that I could split into many more (ie. my second harddrive has only data on it, no apps). IS there away to stick all its data on one side so that I can split one half of the partition in like 10 more partitions without losing data?
[07:19] <smokiedbest> hello, i am tryin to setup my usb modem connection but cant get a linux driver anyone with a way out
[07:19] <tuskernini> Flannel, is it as easy as just reinstalling grub?
[07:19] <royel> silox: did you get my last message?
[07:19] <Flannel> tuskernini: yep
[07:19] <mage> Beltz: gparted or something similarly sounding
[07:20] <mike1o> anybody here know if a  Myspace Messenger For Linux exists?
[07:20] <bruenig> Beltz, on the install disk there is a partition editor
[07:20] <smokiedbest> i have an audiovox phone i use for internet connection on windows but does seem to be able to get it work on ubuntu
[07:20] <linxeh> royel: :D
[07:20] <smokiedbest> anyone with a sugestion
[07:20] <Beltz> Flannel: Installing x/k/ubuntu requires 3 partitions though right?
[07:20] <tuskernini> Flannel, ok, so i am gonna do it tonight... wish me luck.. or witt
[07:20] <Flannel> Beltz: nope
[07:20] <Beltz> mage: What is gparted?
[07:21] <tuskernini> !gparted
[07:21] <ubotu> gparted is gparted is a GUI partitioning program, "sudo apt-get install gparted", also available as a live cd http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php

[07:21] <ubotu> #ubuntu-gr  #kubuntu-gr     /  #ubuntu-gr kai #kubuntu-gr gia Ellhnes xrhstes
[07:21] <royel> Beltz: gparted is a disk partition resizing tool
[07:21] <Flannel> Beltz: it's just like installing... uh, three web browsers on the same computer.  Only, these are 'computer browsing ... suites'
[07:21] <h0g> hi all, I've having some issues with disk initialization order... I have two SATA disks in software RAID1, and I've added an adaptec SCSI card to the system and plugged in a RAID set.  the issue now is that the kernel is giving the SCSI card first crack at disk initialization and messing up the software raid so the system won't boot.  any ideas?
[07:21] <quaal> um
[07:21] <Dna^> hi
[07:21] <quaal> how was i able to write to a /mnt/raid when it is an ntfs RO mount ?
[07:22] <quaal> oh wait nm
[07:22] <Dna^> how i can install new version on ubuntu?
[07:22] <Dna^> how i can install firefox new version on ubuntu?
[07:22] <mage> h0g: you sure thats not a bios issue before the kernel?
[07:22] <Flannel> !firefox | Dna^
[07:22] <ubotu> Dna^: firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins
[07:22] <Beltz> Flannel: Illuminate my newbiish soul: Is that because "linux" is the OS while those kde/xfce/gnome are just basic applications? So if I install kubuntu, the apps I install in it will work if I boot with xubuntu? Or something like that?
[07:22] <Dna^> thanx flannel
[07:23] <Klick_> anyone know of a nice applcation launcher like ma os x has that works in ubuntu
[07:23] <mage> Beltz: the GUI (KDE, GNOME, xcfe) can be considered applications
[07:23] <SaveFerris> Hey all, having a xserver problem
[07:23] <mhnoyes> Does anyone know of any current multiverse issues?
[07:23] <atalost> Helo there, I can't burn 75 MB of data, unknown error is given. can anyone help? thanks.
[07:23] <linxeh> Klick_: there is a clone of the osx one for gnome that i saw on youtube yesterday
[07:23] <linxeh> Klick_: trying to remember the name :)
[07:23] <Slart> Klick_: there are a few.. nothing stable and easy yet, I'm afraid
[07:23] <dyrne> Beltz: its similar to using bblean or explorer in windows as you graphical shell
[07:23] <Klick_> ohh.. ! do tell
[07:23] <linxeh> atalost: burning to CD or to DVD ?
[07:24] <Slart> Klick_: there's the cairo-dock and another called avant
[07:24] <atalost> cd linxeh
[07:24] <Flannel> Beltz: "Linux" is just the kernel (thats the underlying workhorse), then there are desktop environments ontop of that (Ubuntu - gnome, Kubuntu - KDE, Xubuntu - XFCE), which are just things running ontop, that look pretty.  Of course, U/X/Kubuntu instlal a bunch of other software too (not JUST the bare window managers, but all the stuff that goes with them, text editor, word processor, web browsers, etc)
[07:24] <Klick_> i dont care about easy or stable just need to impress this chick :)
[07:24] <Flannel> Beltz: even the console runs as "just" a program ontop of the kernel
[07:24] <Slart> Klick_: hehe.. then avant or cairo-dock.. I think cairo needs recompiling if you want to add icons to it
[07:24] <linxeh> Slart: are there packages available ?
[07:24] <SaveFerris> Using Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 with Edgy,  after upgrading some packages, Xserver refuses to boot claiming (EE) Screens found, but none have a usable configuration.
[07:24] <nomego_> anyone running Beryl in Ubuntu and having problems with keymaps?
[07:25] <royel> Klick_: your gonna impress a chick with a computer?? Wow!
[07:25] <SaveFerris> Fatal server error: no screens found
[07:25] <Flannel> nomego_: #ubuntu-effects for beryl support
[07:25] <linxeh> Klick_: chicks don't get impressed by flashing your dock you know ;-)
[07:25] <Slart> linxeh: nope.. no easy stuff for these yet
[07:25] <nomego_> Flannel: ok
[07:25] <Beltz> Ok - does the stuff that comes with ubuntu distributions slow down the computer even when they aren't running? Or is it ok to just install them all, try them, and remove them as needed, with no leftovers slowing down my computer (sorry for all the newbiish questions)
[07:25] <royel> linxeh: well put !!
[07:25] <kantlivelong> anyone here use cups?
[07:25] <Flannel> Beltz: they'd just take up harddrive space
[07:25] <royel> linxeh: thats almost sig worthy stuff there :)
[07:26] <bruenig> !anyone | kantlivelong
[07:26] <ubotu> kantlivelong: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[07:26] <h0g> mage: I disabled the SCSI BIOS on the adaptec card.. still no luck there
[07:26] <SaveFerris> Can anyone read me?
[07:26] <atalost> also... when I tried to burn 115MB of data from my usb flashdisk... windows compatibility issue prevented me from continuing... anyone? thanks.
[07:26] <Beltz> SaveFerris: yes
[07:26] <h0g> mage: looking at the disk ordering in the dell bios (it's a PE850) it should come up proper... but it doesn't
[07:26] <SaveFerris> Is there a xserver room or anything to that effect?
[07:26] <linxeh> royel: hehe
[07:26] <kantlivelong> ight well, i haev a machine w/ a printer on LPT1 and the machine uses cups.. is there anyway to have other machines connect to cups to print stuff?
[07:27] <Dna^> another question... my ubuntu is the hoary version... can i install new gaim version and firefox?
[07:27] <linxeh> SaveFerris: #xorg maybe
[07:27] <royel> kantlivelong: sometimes I use a cup to drink from
[07:27] <Flannel> Dna^: er... Hoary is no longer supported, you should probably upgrade
[07:27] <up365> Klick_, what size hard drive ?
[07:27] <jatt> !backports
[07:27] <ubotu> If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[07:27] <Slart> atalost: hmm.. sounds like you ran into a problem with total length of filename+directory.. or some other cd burning standard thingy
[07:27] <alecjw> does anyoen know how i can access a DAAP share?
[07:27] <dyrne> Dna^: youre going to start running into alot of dependancy issues. but id think firefox would be ok
[07:27] <linxeh> alecjw: yes, install mt-daap
[07:28] <Dna^> Flannel oh ya'...:P thanx
[07:28] <atalost> hello start... I thought so... but I can't manipulate things like in windows..
[07:28] <linxeh> alecjw: oh, access it - I think rhythmbox can ?
[07:28] <Ryiel> greetings4
[07:28] <royel> kantlivelong: other machines, windows? linux?
[07:28] <royel> kantlivelong: samba can share printers
[07:29] <Slart> atalost: find another burning software that lets you specify what restritions you want to adhere to... or fixes these issues for you
[07:29] <alecjw> linxeh, how do i access them from rhythmbox? (btw, mt-daap doesnt exist)
[07:29] <Flannel> Beltz: the one thing you'll run into (or at least, I did... ages ago), is that with Kubuntu and Ubuntu installed (or whatever) your menus are full of stuff from the other environment (which is perfectly fine to run, but not ideal)
[07:29] <kantlivelong> royel: linux aswell
[07:29] <dyrne> Dna^: i had to support jds linux a few years after it was dropped. it was a nightmare of user requests and complaints
[07:29] <kantlivelong> royel: ah so ill need samba?
[07:29] <Slart> atalost: I'm sorry to say I can't help you chose another application.. I've only used to one included in ubuntu.. never had these problems
[07:29] <atalost> Start... what are any other CD burning software for edubuntu? thanks.
[07:29] <Dna^> dyrne mmm yep, i imagine that
[07:30] <Ryiel> I rebuilded X and i chose wrong keyboard settings. (im using hungarian keyboard) I cannot type symbols i used to type by pressing alt gr (right alt) and x for example (it should give a # symbol) How to set it back?
[07:30] <atalost> Oh... I see. thank, You.
[07:30] <linxeh> alecjw: sorry, I was thinking of mt-daapd for the server side of things - the rhythmbox help tells you how to add DAAP sources
[07:30] <Slart> atalost: there's gnome baker... that's the default one in ubuntu I think.. you'll have to search in synaptic for others
[07:30] <linxeh> alecjw: it says it searches for them automatically at start up
[07:30] <Slart> atalost: or ask the other fine people here for alternatives
[07:30] <Quintin> Slart: it's not.
[07:31] <Slart> oh? well.. it's installable at least =)
[07:31] <SaveFerris> having some trouble with X after upgrading some packages in Edgy Eft, when i # startx it tells me first (EE) Screens found, but none have a usable configuration" and then it tells me "Fatal server error: no screens found"
[07:31] <atalost> Thanks... I will search for it now. thanks.

[07:32] <Quintin> Slart: 'installable' !== 'default'.  kthnx
[07:32] <kantlivelong> royel: and how would i get linux machines to connect?
[07:32] <atalost> thank you guys. will go now... bye.
[07:32] <morteng> I tried with sudo  rpm -Uvh   for installing an rpm package but that failed,
[07:33] <h0g> morteng: install alien and convert it to a deb
[07:33] <Dna^> to install the new version, just download the ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso and burn on a cd...?
[07:33] <Quintin> Dna^: Install or upgrade?
[07:33] <h0g> morteng: otherwise, you'll have to do rpm -i --force
[07:33] <Dna^> upgrade..

[07:33] <cheloo> hello

[07:34] <Quintin> Beltz: whichever you want.  6.10 is the newest version obviously
[07:34] <Beltz> is the long term support important in some ways?
[07:34] <Dna^> Quintin upgrade

[07:45] <Ocha> varsendaggr, royel:  well maybe im barking up the wrong tree here, but i want to know some information on this software like hardware, the built of it, and how people feel about, but im feeling that might be hard here?
[07:45] <Kr0ntab> !ntfs-3g
[07:45] <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.

[07:46] <Stu_2> If one installs a package from synaptic of the add/remove utility... is there a way to see where everything is that it installed?  Example -- I installed tftpd on a machine, and it took me a while to find the config file....  was there a way I could see wh
[07:46] <Beltz> ok edubuntu is so cute i want to have children just to have a pretext to install it
[07:47] <kitche> anyways Ocha: ubuntu has the same hardware support as all the linuxes since they all use the linux kernel
[07:47] <Quintin> Dna^: sudo update-grub
[07:47] <varsendaggr> Ocha, when i started using linux i figured that i had to have3 a buddy to help me figure things out......      this #ubuntu    is fantastic....    you always get pretty good to great
[07:47] <Quintin> Stu_2: you can use synaptic to see where files go
[07:47] <rbil> Yesterday I did an upgrade from Dapper to Edgy. So far it looks like the upgrade went well. Far better than I expected. :-) But during the upgrade it never reached the point of "cleaning up". What does this stage do and is it necessary? Some way to do this manually after the fact if it's required?
[07:47] <Stu_2> Quintin.. hm.. ok -- I'll play around with it more.
[07:47] <Kr0ntab> Stu_2, in synaptic you can click on an installed package, anc heck out the properties.  In there is a tab called "installed files"
[07:47] <Stu_2> Thanks.
[07:48] <Stu_2> ahhh
[07:48] <Ocha> kirche: see your wrong.  completely wrong.  i would like for you to read my message.  hardware support, depending on what linux im using at the time, i either get no sound, video card support, no internet, etc.
[07:48] <Stu_2> nice.. that helps.  Thanks!
[07:48] <pustelnik> jest ktos z polski
[07:48] <kitche> Ocha: that's just because it needs configured but everything works
[07:49] <Kr0ntab> Stu_2, you might also find the apt-file package very handy.  a way to search for any file within packages of your defined repositories, installed or not.
[07:49] <Kr0ntab> !apt-file
[07:49] <ubotu> apt-file is a program that can tell you which package(s) contain(s) a given filename. To install it and generate the database it needs, run "sudo apt-get install apt-file && sudo apt-file update"
[07:49] <mindstate> im having trouble running glxinfo i get this error "glxinfo: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" i tried to reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx but that also reporting errors..can someone help me?
[07:50] <ikonia> mindstate: what are the errors on re-install
[07:50] <Ocha> varsendagrr: see im far from great on linux, but i do know enough to fix trouble for the small problems.  thats great you had a buddy helping you.  i need one of those things.
[07:50] <mindstate> ikonia: it says it cannot find /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 cannot create symbolic link
[07:50] <ikonia> ok - so that library is missing - re-install it
[07:51] <mindstate> ikonia: it comes with the libgl1-mesa-glx package thats why i tried to reinstall
[07:51] <mage> mdadm defaults to metadata that has a limit of 2tb for an array, can I change the meta data or will I need to rebuild my array at some point to change the meta data?

[07:52] <ikonia> mindstate: ok - so what happened when you try to re-install
[07:52] <paitken> I have a nvidia 6600le, would i use the legacy drivers provided by ubuntu or th eones that they consider 'new'
[07:52] <kitche> Ocha: ati and linux is bad but it's supported
[07:52] <mindstate> ikonia: it gives me that error
[07:52] <ikonia> what error
[07:53] <Ocha> kitche: maybe so, but not for 9600 se
[07:53] <linxeh> are there any good UML editors ?
[07:53] <linxeh> paitken: I use the nvidia-xgl driver with my 6600GT
[07:54] <ikonia> linxeh: do you mean nvidia-glx ?
[07:54] <linxeh> yes, sorry, long day

[07:54] <paitken> linxeh: mind helping me getting it working?   for some reason, mine isn't working properly
[07:54] <linxeh> paitken: its a pita, especially if you've had a kernel update
[07:54] <mindstate> ikonia: dpkg : error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libgl-mesa-glx_6.5.1~20060817-0ubuntu3_i386.deb (--unpack)
[07:54] <ikonia> mage: yes, later versions of the kernel have a raid transisition package
[07:55] <jinho> yeah...i have yet to get the xgl drivers working for me too (6800gt agp version)
[07:55] <ikonia> mindstate: clear the archive from that path and re-install

[07:55] <Borat> Hey does anyone know if i can run final cut on Ubuntu?
[07:55] <paitken> linxeh: mind if i pm you?

[07:55] <ikonia> mindstate: rm that packge from the path on screen
[07:55] <I-m-new> yeha!
[07:55] <I-m-new> ppls :D
[07:56] <linxeh> paitken: I did it by dropping to an old kernel, then sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-restricted-modules-generic linux-restricted-modules-k7 nvidia-glx
[07:56] <I-m-new> let me know, I wanna download Kopete msn ain't working I'm on LTS 6.06
[07:56] <maurizio> hi, does someone know how to open automatically all video files directly with videolan?
[07:56] <linxeh> paitken: then edit /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules (or something) to remove the "nv" entry
[07:56] <Borat> Hey does anyone know if i can run .DMG files on Ubuntu?
[07:56] <ikonia> I-m-new: how are you trying to install - whats the error, what makes you think its not working
[07:56] <linxeh> paitken: then reboot with the new kernel
[07:56] <FryLAPPY> I'm having so many issues getting raid5 set up, this is frustring :(
[07:57] <LinuxPakistan> llol no error
[07:57] <ikonia> FryLAPPY: whats the problem
[07:57] <mindstate> ikonia: im not sure what you mean ..sorry
[07:57] <LinuxPakistan> I want fresh installation
[07:57] <ikonia> mindstate: I mean remove the package from the path you've put up on screen in the error using the "rm" command
[07:57] <Drae> Hi there, looks like ntfs-3g is causing some problems, though not directly.
[07:57] <mindstate> ok
[07:57] <ikonia> Drae: explain
[07:57] <Drae> I can't seem to get fuse-utils to remove, install or upgrade in apt.
[07:58] <ikonia> Drae: does it give an error
[07:58] <mindstate> ikonia: unknown file or directory lol
[07:58] <Drae> It throws out dpkg errors every time.
[07:58] <LinuxPakistan> nobody answer me.
[07:58] <LinuxPakistan> I asked, i wanna install Kopete.
[07:58] <ikonia> mindstate: you must have typed it wrong
[07:58] <Drae> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[07:58] <mindstate> ikonia:  sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/libgl-mesa-glx_6.5.1~20060817-0ubuntu3_i386.deb
[07:58] <mindstate> thats wut i typed
[07:58] <FryLAPPY> ikonia: had a lot of problems getting it originally set up using mdadm, and now that I thought i got it working, it stops at 54.1% in the build process, /proc/mdstat doesn't tell me anything useful, and the syslog is spitting out messages about i/o errors, and all of the drives are locked and I don't seem to be able to do anything with the array
[07:59] <LinuxPakistan> My Gaim does not support msn
[07:59] <ikonia> FryLAPPY: does the card your using have native support in the kernel
[07:59] <ikonia> mindstate: go to the dir and see whats in it
[07:59] <LinuxPakistan> so please help me out to install the Kopete messenger.
[07:59] <Drae> Pardon the paste here, but this is the original error from apt-get install ntfs-3g

[07:59] <Morrowyn> LinuxPakistan, maybe you need to select that plugin thingy in the prefs menu in gaim
[07:59] <mindstate> ikonia: ok
[07:59] <FryLAPPY> i doubt it, I'm using software raid exclusively
[08:00] <Reefa> Howdy eeryone, Was hoping someone could shed some light on this error for me, with amd64 ubuntu 6.10 and with ubuntu i368 6.10, it loads live fine but when I actually install and reboot I get, tty can't start job control.  Any ideas?
[08:00] <ikonia> FryLAPPY: you must have the disks plugged into a card/chip set, is that supported in the kernel
[08:00] <XXXX> hello
[08:00] <ana_gergal> ola alberto
[08:00] <LinuxPakistan> so
[08:00] <LinuxPakistan> anyone using Kopete.

[08:00] <JimBeam> hi, can someone tell me what i have to do to use a new hdd in my ubuntu server 6.10, after i attached it to the ide and power-plug?
[08:00] <marshall> does anybody here use or know how to use avant-window-navigator?
[08:00] <ikonia> JimBeam: format it, and mount it
[08:01] <LinuxPakistan> I did'nt saw my last msg
[08:01] <null1357> JimBeam: you have to mount it
[08:01] <XXXX> nw game      http://www.fourmigration.com/link.php?pid=15&cont=5  :)
[08:01] <ikonia> XXXX: why are you showing us this
[08:01] <SaveFerris_> how can i update the kernel from the recovery prompt?
[08:01] <ikonia> SaveFerris_: why would you want to do that
[08:02] <Drae> Gaah
[08:02] <SaveFerris_> i'm having some X problems and i have to get the nvidia driver to matchup
[08:02] <Drae> I can't even remove it with dpkg
[08:02] <SaveFerris_> i did a massive update and now X won't start
[08:02] <mindstate> ikonia: i erased it ..and i still get the same error..also i get this error "error creating symbolic link './usr/lib/libGL.so.1 : No such file or directory
[08:02] <cntb> LinuxPakistan: sudo apt-get install kopete
[08:02] <Reefa> Howdy eeryone, Was hoping someone could shed some light on this error for me, with amd64 ubuntu 6.10 and with ubuntu i368 6.10, it loads live fine but when I actually install and reboot I get, tty can't start job control. Any ideas?
[08:02] <FryLAPPY> ikonia: the drives show up fine in linux, and the raid building process progresses, but it just seems to be stopping
[08:02] <ikonia> mindstate: that error is because you've deleted libgl.so
[08:02] <ikonia> mindstate: man apt-get and do a force install
[08:02] <FryLAPPY> at a strange point (54.1%), and now i can't do anything with the drives, repartition them or anything
[08:02] <LinuxPakistan> cntb : can i try to install via synaptic
[08:02] <mindstate> ikonia: ok
[08:02] <cntb> yes
[08:03] <ikonia> FryLAPPY: I'll ask again - does the card/chipset have native kernel support
[08:03] <LinuxPakistan> can you send me new sources.list
[08:03] <XXXX> http://www.fourmigration.com/link.php?pid=15&cont=5
[08:03] <ikonia> LinuxPakistan: you don't need new
[08:03] <cntb> no
[08:03] <LinuxPakistan> I have LTS 6.06
[08:03] <null1357> cool
[08:03] <ikonia> LinuxPakistan: so ?
[08:03] <cntb> 6.06 has it's kopete
[08:03] <TwoPints>  With pam_exec is it possible to pass the user's name to a script?
[08:03] <LinuxPakistan> so its Ok>?
[08:04] <ikonia> LinuxPakistan: its long term support - its fine
[08:04] <snez> is there any /dev/tcp substitute in ubuntu?
[08:04] <ikonia> TwoPints: use the $user variable
[08:04] <mindstate> ikonia: actually libGL.so exists in my /usr/lib directory
[08:04] <ikonia> snez: what do you mean
[08:04] <LinuxPakistan> oki
[08:04] <ikonia> mindstate: so it must be the link target it can't create
[08:04] <Maximus5684> Can anyone give me a link to the list of changes for Fiesty?
[08:04] <snez> ikonia: on other linuxes there is a tcp file in dev that you can use to make connections
[08:04] <FryLAPPY> ikonia: it seems to, since I am (or was) able to detect the drives and partition them
[08:05] <ikonia> FryLAPPY: and you didn't use a 3rd party module
[08:05] <TwoPints> ikonika: so in common-auth i can write auth pam_exec myprogram $user ???
[08:05] <ikonia> snez: can you give me an example
[08:05] <mindstate> ikonia: :\
[08:05] <mindstate> lol
[08:05] <ikonia> TwoPints: no, not sure that will work
[08:06] <FryLAPPY> ikonia: it was detected by default in the ubuntu install
[08:06] <cntb> haha LinuxPakistan GAIM supports MSN alright
[08:06] <ikonia> FryLAPPY: ok
[08:06] <TwoPints> ikonia: that's was what i was after, it looks like ill have to write a module in C right?
[08:06] <Chetwin> Okay, enough crap...  How do I burn an audio cd
[08:06] <ikonia> FryLAPPY: reboot - re-create the array and turn debug on
[08:06] <Chetwin> I've looked and found nothing on the forums
[08:06] <rares> SAL
[08:06] <ikonia> Chetwin: thats a weak way to ask for help.
[08:06] <ikonia> Chetwin: good luck with that attitude
[08:06] <Chetwin> My apologies
[08:07] <Chetwin> I'm frustrated
[08:07] <mindstate> lol
[08:07] <ikonia> TwoPints: look at the pam framework - something may exist
[08:07] <SaveFerris_> If I'm having trouble starting X should i update the linux kernel? I'm using 2.6.17-11-generic
[08:07] <Maximus5684> Chetwin, are you using Kubuntu, Ubuntu, or Xubuntu?
[08:07] <mindstate> ikonia: is there anyway to fix that symlink ?
[08:07] <Chetwin> Ubuntu
[08:07] <ikonia> SaveFerris_: what makes you think updating the kenrel will fix
[08:07] <ikonia> mindstate: look in the dpkg logs and see what command is failing
[08:07] <vox754> Has anybody used the teTeX packages on Ubuntu? I can't find the documentation for each individual Latex package. I heard teTex is unsupported since May 2006, so I may just remove it and go directly to TeX Live.
[08:07] <Maximus5684> Do you know if you have a program installed called kb3?
[08:07] <Chetwin> I do have k3b, but it only burns as root
[08:08] <SaveFerris_> This http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=360587&highlight=none+have+a+usable+configuration describes my problem almost exactly and I'm just trying to follow what they're doing, but I'm retarded in linux so....
[08:08] <mindstate> ikonia: ok
[08:08] <Maximus5684> Well, there's a quick solution and a not-so-quick solution to that.
[08:08] <FryLAPPY> alright i'll reboot and see how I can get around it automatically trying to rebuild the array on reboot
[08:08] <Maximus5684> Quick solution, open a terminal and type su
[08:08] <Maximus5684> Type in your root password.
[08:08] <Maximus5684> Then type kb3
[08:08] <pumpkinhead> xkilling firefox doesn't seem to get rid of all it's processes, i can't restart. help?
[08:08] <Chetwin> I can do that
[08:08] <Chetwin> But is there a way to make it just work
[08:08] <Chetwin> I really don't want to go back to suse
[08:09] <mindstate> ikonia: it says the package is installed ...libgl1-mesa-glx
[08:09] <Maximus5684> Try using Synaptic to uninstall it then re-install it while logged on as your normal user.
[08:09] <ikonia> mindstate: I told you to do a force re-install, did you do that
[08:09] <Reefa> Howdy eeryone, Was hoping someone could shed some light on this error for me, with amd64 ubuntu 6.10 and with ubuntu i368 6.10, it loads live fine but when I actually install and reboot I get, tty can't start job control. Any ideas?
[08:09] <kitche> Chetwin: I just add my user to a burning group
[08:10] <mindstate> ikonia: oh no i didnt..sorry hold on
[08:10] <Chetwin> How, kitche
[08:10] <snez> is there any /dev/tcp substitute in ubuntu?
[08:10] <Maximus5684> That might work too.
[08:10] <ikonia> snez: can you give me an example please
[08:10] <Maximus5684> Go to your Settings>Users and Groups.
[08:10] <itsmorefun> hello
[08:10] <Maximus5684> There should be a group listed as Burners (or something of the like)
[08:10] <snez> ikonia: exec 5<>/dev/tcp/www.google.com/80
[08:10] <Maximus5684> Add your username to that group.
[08:10] <kitche> Chetwin: thought the user administrator program I go witht he default for k3b which is burning you might have to configure k3b to use it though
[08:10] <SaveFerris_> any ideas on how to recompile the nvidia kernel to match my linux kernel from the recovery prompt (#nvidia is unhelpful)
[08:10] <ikonia> snez: I think that was obsoleted a while ago
[08:11] <itsmorefun> somebody know samba and netbios and can help me?
[08:11] <ikonia> SaveFerris_: I'll ask one more time - why do you think this is a kernel problem
[08:11] <snez> ikonia: echo -e "GET / HTTP/1.1\n" &>5
[08:11] <Chetwin> I'm so confused

[08:11] <SaveFerris_> That thread pretty much describes my problem and I'm just trying to follow what they're doing, but I'm retarded in linux and therefore am having trouble doing what they did
[08:11] <ubotu> SaveFerris_: envy is a Python script that eases installation of the official Nvidia and ATI drivers. Please see http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html . Developers may be interested in https://launchpad.net/products/envy - See also !Nvidia
[08:11] <sivik> why is teamspeak unable to hear my mic now?
[08:11] <mindstate> ikonia: it just says libgl1-mesa-glx is already the newest version
[08:12] <ikonia> mindstate:  I said a force re-install
[08:12] <ikonia> SaveFerris_: your already at the latest kernel - how do you plan to update beyond that
[08:12] <SaveFerris_> kitche: ty but i'm in the recovery prompt
[08:12] <SaveFerris_> i'm in 2.6.17-11
[08:12] <mindstate> ikonia: same error as before
[08:12] <ikonia> SaveFerris_: thats the latest
[08:12] <ikonia> mindstate: ok - you're on your own
[08:12] <SaveFerris_> lol.....alright
[08:12] <mindstate> ikonia: lol ..ok
[08:12] <kitche> SaveFerris_: your point being you can still install envy and use it to install the nvidia kernel module
[08:13] <SaveFerris_> with what? apt-get envy ?
[08:13] <Dna^> i can install gnome 2 for hoary version of ubuntu?
[08:13] <ikonia> SaveFerris_: why do you keep going on about updating - your already at the latest
[08:13] <mindstate> ikonia: is there a way i can remove the package without removing packages that are dependant on it?
[08:13] <ikonia> mindstate: not really
[08:13] <ikonia> SaveFerris_: have you looked at the X log to why its not working
[08:14] <ikonia> or are you just making random guesses to the problem
[08:14] <SaveFerris_> (EE) Nvidia(0): Failed to load the Nvidia kernel module!                                  (EE) Nvidia(0): *** Aborting ***                (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable donfiguration.                        Fatal server error: no screens found
[08:14] <ikonia> SaveFerris_: have you thought that updating to the latest kernel is whats broke it ?
[08:14] <SaveFerris_> that?
[08:14] <linxeh> is Umbrello the best UML editor for linux at the moment ?
[08:14] <ikonia> SaveFerris_: have you tried inserting the module manually
[08:14] <SaveFerris_> nope
[08:14] <ikonia> linxeh: its just personal preference
[08:14] <linxeh> (other than IBM-Rational Rose)
[08:15] <linxeh> ikonia: are there any other good free ones ?
[08:15] <SaveFerris_> wouldn't know how
[08:15] <ikonia> linxeh: no idea
[08:15] <kitche> SaveFerris_: wget http://albertomilone.com/ubuntu/nvidia/scripts/envy_0.8.1-0ubuntu7_all.deb and then do dpkg -i envy_0.8.1-0ubuntu7_all
[08:15] <ikonia> SaveFerris_: modprobe nvidia
[08:15] <xadloki> hey can anyone suggest a router brand that works flawlesly because mine (conceptronic C54APRA) is making my life miserable... the firmware just doesn't apply any changes I make to the settings and on top of that I can't even get into the web based router configuration through ubuntu. Wireless is a must.
[08:15] <kitche> SaveFerris_: witht he enw kernel upgrade the nvidia drivers are broken since they didn't make a kernel module for the new kernel yet from what I have seen
[08:15] <SaveFerris_> "Fatal: Error running install command for nvidia"
[08:15] <yadayadablabla> is there a site where i can see what files are in a package?
[08:15] <linxeh> ikonia: then how do you know it is personal preference? there might only be one... (I've been using linux heavily for over 12 years now, but haven't wanted to do UML until now)
[08:16] <SaveFerris_> so i should just load in an older version?
[08:16] <ikonia> linxeh: "is it the best" even if its the only one - its just personal preference

[08:16] <bartos> hi all, can anybody tell me if 'pyphany' package is edgy repositories??
[08:16] <ikonia> fryLAP boot single user mode and destroy the array
[08:16] <ikonia> bartos: search yourself
[08:16] <borgista> Problem: Gnome & it's apps won't load after attempted Beryl install yesterday.

[08:18] <borgista> Maximus5684: I think I attempted xgl
[08:19] <borgista> Maximus5684: since the instructions asked for xserver-xgl
[08:19] <pumpkinhead> kitche that did the trick :)
[08:19] <tuskernini> bartos, i dont see it.. it might be somewhere else... unsupported repositories... would not know

[08:29] <SuperTeece> after 2 days of fighting with ndiswrapper I can now see my wifi card in the network manager. I also now see the card using iwconfig. Now the last big hill seems to be associating with my router. Any suggestions of how to make them talk?
[08:29] <[DM-S] frieksk> i can't even install wine
[08:29] <[DM-S] frieksk> not with synaptic
[08:29] <[DM-S] frieksk> no with the 'installer'
[08:29] <beg1689> oh while im here, how do i mount a partition while using the live cd
[08:29] <silox> Im getting this errror "Path is not Writable -- make sure you chmod +w this path" when i try do set a mounted smb share as Download folder in TorrentFlux. I have chmoded the directory to 777... Any ideas?
[08:29] <rmd_> SuperTeece, dhclient?
[08:29] <[0x90] _> press ctrl+c in irssi. its so fun :D
[08:29] <Ayabara> any good alternatives to amarok? I'm trying out banshee and exaile as we speak, but if there are other good options please tell me :-)
[08:29] <beg1689> whats wrong with amarok?
[08:29] <rmd_> SuperTeece, or making sure you have the right ESSID set for your card
[08:29] <SpacePuppy> SuperTeece: I like to use wlanassistant (as root of course)
[08:29] <SuperTeece> rmd_: elaborate please?
[08:30] <SuperTeece> rmd_: is an ESSID the same as the SSID?
[08:30] <rmd_> SuperTeece, iwconfig and make sure the ESSID entry is the same as your router's name.  and then "sudo dhclient &"
[08:30] <rmd_> if the ESSId entry is not the same, then "sudo iwconfig eth# essid <essid>"
[08:30] <rmd_> uh,,, i think essid=ssid, yes
[08:31] <SuperTeece> rmd_: ESSID shows "off/any
[08:31] <ana_gergal> ola
[08:31] <rmd_> SuperTeece, yeah.  so if you "sudo ifconfig" and notice you don't have an IP it is because it hasn't picked up the id from your router and you may have to manually set it
[08:31] <LinTux> anybody using amateur radio progs with ubuntu
[08:31] <localverb> I need your help guys....I am running ubuntu Edgy and I tried to install the KDE desktop using the command : sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop     .......When it finished ,it reported that one of the packages was not fetched....how can I fetch that package without downloading all the packages from the beginning? (it's 166 Mb and mu connection is slow)   Please respond and thanks in advance
[08:32] <Ayabara> beg1689, my computer freezes when amarok builds my collection. the guys in #amarok couldn't help me out :-/
[08:32] <beg1689> ok so how can i mount a drive so i can back up some files
[08:32] <rmd_> localverb, apitutude will not fetch packages it has already downloaded
[08:32] <fatlip> quick question.. how would i go about setting up midi playback?
[08:32] <rmd_> aptitude*
[08:32] <Quintin> beg1689: man mount
[08:32] <beg1689> did you try a different database?
[08:32] <beg1689> the drives dont show in fstab or mtab
[08:32] <localverb> rmd_: Ok what to do ?
[08:32] <Quintin> localverb: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[08:32] <beg1689> using live cd, trying to back some things up then do a fresh install
[08:32] <Quintin> beg1689: of course they don't!!!
[08:33] <SuperTeece> rmd_: I tried the sytax you gave me, it returned no errors but the iwconfig shows the same info
[08:33] <rmd_> localverb, just "apt-get install kubuntu-desktop"  if aptitude downloads everything again, it is because it needed to
[08:33] <Quintin> beg1689: They are not supposed to.  geez.
[08:33] <Quintin> beg1689: so, where are the drives at, physically?
[08:33] <localverb> Thanks guys ^_^

[08:34] <Quintin> sadistico: mplayer

[08:35] <profoX`> Hi.. in which repository should the ubuntu-lamp package reside?
[08:35] <Quintin> beg1689: man mount.  for crying out loud
[08:36] <apol> hi, anybody knows if I can compile against glibc 2.3 instead of 2.4? If I do, how can I do it if I am using edgy?
[08:36] <beg1689> i can mount my usb drive, sdb1, but i cant get the hard drive too
[08:36] <Quintin> profoX`: you're better to install each with apt from official repos
[08:36] <sivik> does anyone here have gnomad 2.10.8 installed
[08:36] <Quintin> beg1689: 'man mount'.  If you can't figure it out after reading that then I'll fix it for you.
[08:37] <mon^rch> In Nautilus "places" it is showing Floppy1 AND Floppy drive. how can I make it so it only shows one of them?
[08:37] <will> Does anyone know of any data recovery software for Linux?
[08:37] <SaveFerris_> After trying to load Ubuntu and it tells me X has been disabled it goes into what looks like a prompt, but when I type commands it doesn't respond
[08:37] <SuperTeece> does it matter if my wifi card is named eth# and not wlan#?
[08:37] <Quintin> SuperTeece: it shouldn't as long as it works
[08:37] <Quintin> will: dd_rescue
[08:37] <rmd_> SuperTeece, no.
[08:37] <sivik> SuperTeece, no
[08:37] <SuperTeece> and it does not...
[08:37] <sadistico> man ubuntu owns your face =D
[08:38] <sivik> SuperTeece, broadcom?
[08:38] <SuperTeece> yup
[08:38] <sivik> SuperTeece, which card?
[08:38] <SuperTeece> the infamous
[08:38] <sadistico> once i got past the damnable broadcom wireless problem
[08:38] <SuperTeece> 4318
[08:38] <will> Quintin: should I apt-get it?
[08:38] <sivik> SuperTeece, are you running the firmware or ndis-wrapper
[08:38] <Quintin> will: the package is ddrescue or dd-rescue
[08:38] <SuperTeece> ndiswrapper
[08:38] <profoX`> Quintin: okay; i thought ubuntu-lamp was a package that would get the dependancies automatically, but i already found all the packages I need, thanks
[08:38] <sivik> SuperTeece, thats no fun, i use the firmware and it works
[08:38] <SaveFerris_> kitche: Envy got me further along the path, thank you. But it's still telling me "(EE) Faild to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0) (EE) No drivers available.
[08:38] <Rio> hey has anyone tried to install Ubuntu 6.06 LTS?  i tried yesterday and it got a bunch of errors.  some of the messages said that the packages were corrupt...
[08:38] <sivik> sadistico, whats your problem
[08:39] <SuperTeece> sivik: is there a how-to for that?
[08:39] <will> Quinton: thanks, it's installing.
[08:39] <Quintin> Rio: No.  no one here has *ever* tried to install Ubuntu.
[08:39] <goundy> guys: apt-cache search unrar return nothing oO wtf ?
[08:39] <sivik> SuperTeece, what, ndis-wraper?
[08:39] <Quintin> Rio: EVER.  wrong channel.
[08:39] <sadistico> none, just happy that i finally got my broadcom card to work with ubuntu
[08:39] <dettoaltrimenti_>  I have a problem and I just want to know what the name of this problem is, and if it could be a problem with my graphics card drivers: when I scroll a document, or firefox, or move anything around on the screen, it takes a second to refresh, and you can visibly see it refreshing from the top of the screen to the bottom... anyone know what this is?
[08:39] <SuperTeece> sivik: no the firmware
[08:39] <sivik> sadistico, firmware or ndis-wrapper
[08:39] <Rio> Quintin: Ubuntu SERVER, smarta$$
[08:39] <sivik> SuperTeece, i use the firmware currently
[08:39] <Quintin> SaveFerris_: install your kernel headers
[08:39] <sadistico> I used ndiswrapper
[08:39] <dettoaltrimenti_> sadistico- do you have a hp pavilion laptop?
[08:39] <sivik> sadistico, thats no fun
[08:39] <Rio> Quintin Ubuntu 6.06 LTS......SERVER!!!
[08:39] <Quintin> Rio: No one here uses ubuntu for servers.  noooooooooooo way.
[08:39] <sadistico> It worked fine though
[08:39] <SaveFerris_> quintin: how?
[08:39] <sadistico> im on my wireless connection now
[08:39] <sivik> sadistico, can you connect at 54 MB?
[08:40] <sadistico> yupp =)
[08:40] <Rio> Quintin how bout saying something constructive
[08:40] <sivik> sadistico, thats probably the big difference
[08:40] <Quintin> dettoaltrimenti_: paste your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to pastebin please.  you are probably using the VESA x driver.
[08:40] <Quintin> Rio: How about not being an idiot.  Just ask your question.
[08:40] <ihminen> quit
[08:40] <profoX`> Rio: corrupt packages? did you burn the cd yourself? maybe it is corrupted.. try to burn at a low speed
[08:40] <dettoaltrimenti_> quintin, I can tell you right now that I am- I will have to get on the other computer first, though
[08:40] <SaveFerris_> Quitin: how do i install the kernel headers?
[08:40] <sadistico> I kept making the mistake of not installing wifi-radar
[08:40] <sadistico> that helped out
[08:41] <Quintin> !headers
[08:41] <ubotu> To install the Linux (kernel) headers, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) To install headers for libraries, you need the accompanying -dev packages
[08:41] <profoX`> SaveFerris_: linux-kernel-headers-$(uname -r)
[08:41] <sadistico> and I didnt know i had to manually turn on my wifi
[08:41] <profoX`> or linux-headers ye..
[08:41] <sivik> sadistico, i just run all that stuff fro command line, to hell with a gui
[08:41] <IdleOne> Quintin, no need for name calling
[08:41] <sadistico> gui is easier
[08:41] <Quintin> IdleOne: you my mother?  no?  ok.
[08:41] <Rio> Quintin i asked my question.... sorry if you cant read between the lines...
[08:41] <sadistico> I dont have to keep typing in commands
[08:41] <dyrne> sadistico: bah to gui
[08:41] <will> sivik: if you always use text, learn to spell
[08:41] <goundy> hohoho
[08:41] <sadistico> wifi-radar auto detects the networks for me now
[08:41] <sadistico> lol
[08:41] <Quintin> Rio: my irc filters probably axed it.
[08:41] <Rio> profoX actually, yes i did... is there any other things i could try, besides that?
[08:41] <will> sivik: No offense
[08:42] <profoX`> Rio: i'm not sure.. do you know what the exact error was?
[08:42] <IdleOne> Quintin, this is a help channel and your attitude makes it very difficult to get any help so chill out or go play some games for a while and come back later
[08:42] <Rio> profoX ill try to burn it again, even though i tried it on 2 different disks
[08:42] <profoX`> Rio: and when did the error come up?
[08:42] <sivik> will: lol, i can't spell, but i know what i need to do when i type the command and i use tab alot so i don't have to spell everything
[08:42] <profoX`> Rio: if you burn it again, do it at the lowest speed possible
[08:42] <profoX`> boot discs can be sensitive

[08:42] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[08:42] <will> sivik: tab?
[08:42] <Rio> profoX alright, ill give that a shot.  thanks!
[08:42] <Quintin> Rio: What program are you using to burn the disc image?
[08:42] <patrick_king> is there a way changing the user mailx sends out in an email via php sendmail
[08:42] <sadistico> I was always so scared to switch over to linux, Im glad I did now
[08:42] <will> sivik: I arrow up and down
[08:43] <Rio> Quintin nero
[08:43] <sadistico> It works swimmingly on my laptop
[08:43] <Quintin> Rio: It has an option to verify data.  try using it.
[08:43] <sivik> will: that works too, tab will complete commands and filenames
[08:43] <sivik> like hitting cd /ho and then tap will finish the home
[08:43] <SaveFerris_> Quintin: sorry, maybe i'm not understanding, it's saying "Bash linux-kernel-headers-2.6.17.10-generic: command not found"
[08:43] <will> sivik: okay
[08:43] <rmd_> data verification is good
[08:43] <dyrne> sadistico: yeah ubuntu warty was the first distro i actually stuck with over windows
[08:43] <Rio> wow... Quintin is such an a$$...
[08:43] <Quintin> SaveFerris_: ... apt-get install

[08:45] <melih> hi
[08:45] <patrick_king> is there a way changing the user mailx sends out in an email via php sendmail
[08:45] <rmd_> Rio, the point is just ask questions and ignore people that annoy you.  if an op deems a transgression to be punishable, it will be done
[08:45] <melih> can anyone help me
[08:45] <empiric> i have installed a sun ray system its gnome based which rights his files over kde and now am getting gnome

[08:46] <Quintin> SaveFerris_: apt-get install linux-headers will probably work.
[08:47] <IdleOne> pianoboy3333, search synaptic for guitar should give you a few apps
[08:47] <karthik> guys...help needed?...what is RFCOMM in ubuntu
[08:47] <rmd_> sadistico, probably means that you need media player to watch it
[08:47] <sadistico> darn
[08:47] <pianoboy3333> IdleOne: I don't think it's one of those
[08:47] <will> Quintin: "No manual entry for apt-cach"

[09:13] <jo_> I have no clue what it's called in german

[09:14] <alani> you can name it program.Shadeline
[09:14] <jo_> from the repo's ?
[09:14] <Shadeline> urmm.. neat.
[09:14] <alani> it will still run :-)
[09:14] <melih_> but.. the link, which i open in xchat.. are opening by opera

[09:14] <jo_> if not from the repo's maybe that's wrong...
[09:14] <AJIEXA> hi all

[09:14] <AlexC_> melih_: then set you're prefered application to Firefox. System->Preferences->Prefered applications

[09:14] <jo_> if all else fails, reinstall xchat.

[09:18] <Shadeline> just one file.. I can go to the guest area and switch users.. but i just wish to do it from here.. hello.c
[09:18] <RageMax> my distro is all wonky because I didn't use the update-manager
[09:19] <ompaul> Shadeline, okay, I was asking because some people change programs that should not be changed and then wonder why the box does not work
[09:19] <dcordes> AlexC_, LjL : did you get the query?
[09:19] <me> hello fellas
[09:19] <Shadeline> what do i need to do to make it avaible to me?
[09:19] <rmd_> hoagie, that's all wonky.  i've got no clue.  in lieu of my knowing how to fix your problem... i would say that BitTornado is just as good and takes up far fewer resources.

[09:22] <amigrave> AlexC_: got universe and multiverse
[09:23] <Shadeline> is there a C programming channel in this irc?
[09:23] <hoagie> When i start azureus it crashes upon opening any ideas?
[09:23] <melih_> but al my xpgrammms like firefox .. shuting down, too ...right?
[09:23] <ompaul> Shadeline, try #C
[09:23] <RageMax> what packages moves fstab and grub to the UUID nomenclature?
[09:23] <ompaul> Shadeline, and don't put that # in the wrong place :)
[09:23] <AlexC_> chipdip: nope, afaik it's dpkg --reconfigure
[09:23] <Shadeline> it requires a invitation on ly..
[09:23] <chipdip> ah
[09:23] <Shadeline> oh
[09:23] <Shadeline> no such channel as C
[09:23] <RageMax> AlexC_: it's dpkg-reconfigure
[09:23] <ompaul> Shadeline, gcc might help the compiler channel
[09:23] <chipdip> Thought so
[09:24] <kunal> can anyone tell me about a good rdc client for ubuntu
[09:24] <chipdip> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:24] <chipdip> Im sure, I just tried on a server here
[09:24] <Shadeline> compiler channel?
[09:24] <AlexC_> weird! could have sworn it was --reconfigure lol
[09:24] <kunal> ?
[09:24] <chipdip> heh
[09:24] <ompaul> Shadeline, /join #gcc ?
[09:24] <chipdip> I may as well try that too, maybe that can be used too
[09:25] <AlexC_> chipdip: just tried it, it's a no go :P
[09:25] <Shadeline> sweat thanks, ompaul!!
[09:25] <ompaul> !enter chipdip
[09:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about enter chipdip - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:25] <Shadeline> sweet!
[09:25] <ompaul> !enter | chipdip
[09:25] <ubotu> chipdip: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[09:25] <chipdip> meh
[09:25] <ompaul> Shadeline, that is better :)

[09:25] <ubotu> kunal: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly, if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[09:26] <ompaul> dcordes, you can stick the query into a web browser or do /msg botname keyword
[09:27] <kunal> repeat what alex?
[09:27] <AlexC_> kunal: you'r question. You repeated it when you've not long asked it
[09:27] <ompaul> kunal, I hate to say if you click on applications internet there might be a terminal server client if it is for that other o/s if not you can do sudo apt-get install xtightvnc
[09:27] <dcordes> ompaul: i didn't know about the possibility to /msg the bots. thanks for this piece of information
[09:27] <ompaul> dcordes, there is a lot I don't know too :)
[09:27] <kunal> ok that helps - thanks paul
[09:28] <lyam> why i cant find my inittab file in /etc dir under Edgy?
[09:28] <AlexC_> lyam: /etc/init.d ?
[09:28] <LjL> lyam: because edgy uses upstart, and there's no inittab there
[09:28] <LjL> !upstart > lyam    (lyam, see the private message from Ubotu)

[09:29] <dettoaltrimenti_> hey- I formatted an old computer while installing linux, and got an error message halfway through saying it couldn't write to the drive, and that it's probably a hard disk error- can I run fsck on a live cd, or somehow run diagnostics on the harddrive that is now completely formatted?
[09:29] <bauer77> I did df -h but I dont see the extra space I should have there
[09:30] <AlexC_> bauer77: maybe someone filled it up :P
[09:30] <ompaul> bauer77, did you add a disk?
[09:30] <AlexC_> I really should run away from IRC and get some work done ...

[09:31] <ubotu> The_Machine | Zambezi: 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?

[09:32] <The_Machine> I'm experiencing a problem with rdesktop + Beryl where the RDP session is somewhat transparent, making it pointless to use it.  Can anyone help?

[09:35] <wheels3572> AlexC_, Ok ty

[09:36] <lyam> is where an utility what manages daemons on Edgy?
[09:36] <AlexC_> SaveFerris_: oh well if you've not in X then gedit wont work. Instead fo sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

[09:45] <shatrat> dm82m, its certainly possible to compile something in a tarball, and you can install rpms with alien but I wouldnt do that except as a last resort.  Look for a repository or at least a .deb of the program you want
[09:45] <SaveFerris_> AlexC_: Mk, i took the # from all the lines that had URLS in them then typed "apt-get install nvidia-glx" and now it says "Package nvidia-glx is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source. E: Package nvidia-glx has no installation candidate"

[09:47] <AlexC_> SaveFerris_: apt-get update   updates the package list, yeah
[09:47] <rylan> up365, feck.
[09:47] <AlexC_> SaveFerris_: you should run that command every time you add a new repository,

[10:19] <ubotu> Yodude: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[10:19] <PCGenie> dcordes, haha-evidence
[10:19] <cchance> What can i use to broadcast to a shoutcast server?
[10:19] <scoates> ezekiel72: you should install them with php5-sqlite (for example)
[10:19] <cor1> i cant upgrade to edgy i tried:
[10:19] <cor1> sudp apt-get upgrade
[10:19] <Yodude> dcordes: i can't change the theme
[10:20] <cor1> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[10:20] <blueCmd> scoates: Nice idea :)
[10:20] <mcquaid> ok this is annoying, I downloaded and burnt a bunch of windows software for a friend cause I'm setting up his machine.
[10:20] <Yodude> dcordes: lol i really want to change my theme to crystal but all i can change to is Industrial icons and Default icons
[10:20] <ardchoille> cor1: That won't upgrade yo to Edgy
[10:20] <mcquaid> all the exe had .bin added to them, and even when I removed them, his windows box said these are not valid installers
[10:20] <Grenadier> Hi guys, I have a quick question... when I try to use aptitude or apt-get for anything, it gives me three packages that were "automatically kept back"...I think it's the next kernel version
[10:20] <ardchoille> !upgrade
[10:20] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[10:20] <carlos> I trying to install ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS in a Dell PowerEdge 840 with LSI RAID 1 , when the installation try to detect the disk nothing appear -- --
[10:20] <posingaspopular> it's not a feature mcquaid
[10:20] <cor1> ardchoille: how do i upgrade to edgy then
[10:20] <ghadi> hey guys
[10:20] <dcordes> Yodude: did you try the OO documentation?
[10:20] <cchance> What can i use to broadcast to a shoutcast server
[10:20] <scoates> ompaul: any idea what that linux.ie thread was called?
[10:20] <posingaspopular> though honestly i dont know abotu burning anything in ubuntu
[10:21] <blueCmd> ki.ubuntu.com//LiveCDCustomizationHowTo :(
[10:21] <ardchoille> !upgrade > cor1
[10:21] <ompaul> scoates, it was to do with cpu iirc but I would have to look that up
[10:21] <carlos> can anyone help me?
[10:21] <Yodude> dcordes: i do know how to change the theme, it's just not working
[10:21] <scoates> ompaul: thanks. notice anything weird in my ps output?
[10:21] <ardchoille> Grenadier: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[10:21] <dyrne> cchance: alot of people use darkice or icecast
[10:21] <dcordes> Yodude: sorry i can't help you with that one- never tried to change my theme in oo
[10:21] <Yodude> dcordes: when i go to tools-Options-Openoffice.org-View and change the icons to Crystal nothing happens
[10:22] <Grenadier> ardchoille: Could that possibly screw anything up?
[10:22] <ompaul> scoates, I think the X : -query is a bit high
[10:22] <ghadi> i got a gst player. the name of file = gst-player-0.8.0.tar.gz i read the installation instructions inside but still couldn't undestood how to install the package, what's the command that i must write plz?
[10:22] <dcordes> Yodude: you restarted oo?
[10:22] <posingaspopular> untar
[10:22] <ardchoille> Grenadier: No, it just updates the kernel.
[10:22] <scoates> ompaul: ok. any idea how I can "fix" that?
[10:22] <dcordes> PCGenie: i was just making some fun
[10:22] <rmd_> holy crap.  i wasnt even aware that open office had theme support...
[10:22] <ardchoille> Grenadier: Are you on Dapper?
[10:22] <Yodude> dcordes: yes n didn't work
[10:22] <ardchoille> rmd_: Neither was I
[10:22] <dcordes> Yodude: i dunno then sorry
[10:22] <Grenadier> ardchoille: And is there anything I need to worry about if I do it remotely over SSH instead of in front of the physical computer? Could it screw it up for people using the computer's GUI?
[10:22] <posingaspopular> ummm i forget how to do that though
[10:23] <up365> grayscale, you have to be careful which drivers you install check out that link I posted and compare to what you did. I used these directions for Edgy and my previous Dapper for my old GeForce3
[10:23] <cchance> dyrne, are any of them gui
[10:23] <cor1> thanks ardchoille it worked!
[10:23] <ardchoille> cor1: You're welcome :)
[10:23] <Yodude> dcrodes: k thnkx anyway
[10:23] <matason> Hi any ideas where I can find a php4 package for ubuntu?
[10:23] <christianp> hi all
[10:23] <ardchoille> Grenadier: Are you on Dapper?
[10:23] <ghadi> i got a gst player. the name of file = gst-player-0.8.0.tar.gz i read the installation instructions inside but still couldn't undestood how to install the package, what's the command that i must write plz?
[10:23] <scoates> matason: apt-get install php4
[10:23] <Grenadier> ardchoille: No, I'm on Edgy, but there was a new version of the kernel released, so I think that's why
[10:23] <Yodude> is there anyone who can help me with OpenOffice? i got a problem with my icons themes in version 2.0.4
[10:23] <cor1> ardchollie the stuff they told me to do crashed my system then i had to reinstall and i was up tiol 3 am
[10:24] <matason> When I do apt-get install php4 I get "Couldn't find package php4"
[10:24] <ardchoille> Grenadier: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade will update those packages that were auto held back. It's safe to do.
[10:24] <dsquare> vi .gtkrc-2.02  <--- how do i edit this please? i have already edited it once..
[10:24] <ompaul> scoates, restart it - ehh I was mistaken the thread was about high disk access
[10:24] <scoates> matason: I have it in edgy
[10:24] <domelaci> first time user says to you guys, thanx a lot, for getting me off the XP!!
[10:24] <Grenadier> ardchoille: Ah, that's what I needed to know...many thanks. :)
[10:24] <ghadi> please how can i install a .tar.gz file into my system?
[10:24] <ardchoille> Grenadier: You're welcome :)
[10:24] <matason> Right I am on dapper
[10:24] <posingaspopular> ghadi: untar it
[10:24] <christianp> i installed ubuntu 6.10... i'm coming from ubuntu 6.06 and i notice edgy doesn't find my disks, so i'm looking for the utility called disks in my old dapper instance, but i can't find it in the menu "system"
[10:25] <posingaspopular> where is the file?
[10:25] <scoates> ompaul: this is a recurring problem. I'm sure I can solve it by dumping X, but it'll happen again in a few hours
[10:25] <christianp> where can i find it?
[10:25] <ompaul> scoates, but ehh really I would not be worried it seems like the machine is not even breaking into a sweat
[10:25] <rmd_> ghadi, you don't install a tar.gz file into your system.  you unzip it, untar it, and then do something with the files inside.
[10:25] <ghadi> posingaspopular,  i did man, i don't know what i should write in the terminal to install it..
[10:25] <scoates> well, my CPU is very hot (fan's high) and that kills battery in a hurry..
[10:25] <scoates> ompaul: ^
[10:25] <posingaspopular> oh man i know the command, but i forget it
[10:26] <ompaul> scoates, ahh laptop - then I would not be running asterisk and lots of other things there
[10:26] <ompaul> scoates, apache and the like when in "laptop mode"
[10:26] <jrib> ghadi: what are you trying to install?
[10:26] <scoates> ompaul:  yeah.. asterisk was for a demo I did last week.. I guess I could kill it..  my main concern is that top is lying about CPU usage
[10:26] <scoates> ompaul:  I actually need apache and asterisk for development, even when in laptop mode (-:
[10:27] <ghadi> jrib, a gst player, to play my mp3 and video files
[10:27] <ompaul> scoates, well do it in a terminal with no X
[10:27] <scoates> I hear you, though.
[10:27] <ghadi> i got the prog but am a new linux user , don't even know how to install it
[10:27] <ompaul> scoates, well consider less threads and lower nice on it
[10:27] <esaym> Is there an "auto-save" feature in open office?
[10:27] <ghadi> i extracted the files,, then ow can i continue plz?
[10:27] <dsquare> can anyone tell me how to edit vi .gtkrc-2.02  but also keep my existing settings??
[10:27] <ezekiel72> someone wanna help me get my lamp setup up and running? cause ive got the server and php working and phpmyadmin works its just that when i try to install a cms it says that it needs php installed with the mysql extension and i search for the extension and i dont even have it on my computer
[10:27] <ompaul> esaym, there is tools options load / save might be of use
[10:28] <scoates> ompaul: heh.. that makes for ugly slides during a presentation (-:  anyway, if it's a matter of killing of tasks, I'm ok with that, but top lying about processes doesn't sound kosher to me
[10:28] <dcordes> esaym: yes. and it's activated automatically
[10:28] <rbil> ghadi: isn't there a readme in that tar?
[10:28] <ghadi> yes
[10:28] <davin> Hello, I have AMD Athlon 64 CPU. I'm currently running Dapper with a 386 kernel. Do I have any benefits over using a 64bit kernel? And will all my programs still work?
[10:28] <jrib> ghadi: I don't know what a "gst player" is but there are plenty of programs in the repositories that play mp3's and videos.  Why not use one of those?
[10:28] <ompaul> scoates, it is a photograph not a graph over time
[10:28] <rbil> ghadi: well it should give u instructions
[10:28] <dcordes> davin: this depends on the programs you are using
[10:28] <xxl3w> i've already installed ubuntu, but there was many errors with installing a bootloader, so i rebooted and used the CD to go into rescue mode
[10:28] <KNY> does edgy ship with v4l2 by default?
[10:28] <ghadi> jrib, what kind of progs? xmms? it's not installed on my system
[10:28] <scoates> ompaul: understood.. I can watch it for minutes at a time, though, and high-use processes never show up
[10:28] <xxl3w> well, GRUB is now installed, but I don't know how to configure it
[10:28] <ezekiel72> someone wanna help me get my lamp setup up and running? cause ive got the server and php working and phpmyadmin works its just that when i try to install a cms it says that it needs php installed with the mysql extension and i search for the extension and i dont even have it on my computer
[10:29] <jrib> ghadi: no, for example totem and rhythmbox
[10:29] <ompaul> scoates, top is a heavy load
[10:29] <jrib> !mp3  | ghadi
[10:29] <ubotu> ghadi: 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
[10:29] <KNY> ezekiel72, sudo apt-get install php-mysql
[10:29] <ghadi> totem couldn';t opne the mp3 files
[10:29] <scoates> ompaul: I'd expect top to show itself, though.. (and it does)
[10:29] <ezekiel72> kny, i already did that
[10:29] <jrib> ghadi: please read the links from ubotu
[10:29] <eyalw> say, why does the new beryl update dropped the snow plugin, it was cool
[10:29] <xxl3w> i've already installed ubuntu, but there was many errors with installing a bootloader, so i rebooted and used the CD to go into rescue mode. well, GRUB is now installed, but I don't know how to configure it
[10:29] <KNY> ezekiel72, what php? php4?
[10:29] <Rprp```>   ChanServ ConnectServ Duiv`tv Eggdrop GameServ Global MemoServ NickServ OperServ Roconda Rprp` wesley
[10:29] <ompaul> scoates, you could do some running aorund the /proc space and see if you can find anything else -- ehh you got the wrong end of the stick there - it is a snapshot
[10:29] <ezekiel72> php5
[10:29] <ghadi> jrib,  plz i need a prof help, i read the instructions but i need close help if u can plz?
[10:30] <scoates> ompaul: what I don't get is how it can show a snapshot CPU %used, and not a corresponding task list
[10:30] <xxl3w> does anyone know how to configure grub, from grub's command line?
[10:30] <computerNERDie> I have a Internet keyboard from Chicony is the possible to enable the internet key such as 'launch browser'-key 'search'-key 'cut'-key 'past-key' etc.
[10:30] <KNY> ezekiel72, sudo apt-get install php5-mysql
[10:30] <jrib> ghadi: join me in #ubuntu-classroom
[10:30] <ardchoille> ghadi: MPlayer plays videos as well as mp3 files. It's in the repos.
[10:30] <ghadi> i have totem installed but not opening the mp3 or videos
[10:30] <ghadi> k
[10:30] <ezekiel72> this is the tutorial i followed: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_debian_lamp_server
[10:30] <ezekiel72> KNY: i did that
[10:30] <KNY> ezekiel72, did you restart the server? sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload
[10:30] <ompaul> scoates, check out how /proc is made up - it holds the one true item on how it works - the other thing is a local really light wm might be useful
[10:30] <lightseed> hi
[10:30] <ezekiel72> yep i tried but then it says something about not being able to reboot it
[10:31] <KNY> well, what's the error?
[10:31] <lightseed> is there a desktop recorder for ubuntu?
[10:31] <Zambezi> Can anyone help me with "Configure media device" in Amarok? I don't have a clue what I should do.
[10:31] <ompaul> scoates, and a really light browser for reading output
[10:31] <ompaul> lightseed, istanbul
[10:31] <ardchoille> !istanbul > lightseed
[10:31] <lightseed> ok thanks
[10:31] <ezekiel72> KNY: check pm
[10:31] <computerNERDie> to lightseed: Try CamStudio
[10:31] <dcordes> is there an instant messenger which is specialized for local area networks?
[10:32] <scoates> ompaul: I understand. I'm not concerned about legit tasks using CPU.. that's normal. I am concerned about top's two numbers that SHOULD indicate the same thing showing radically different percentages
[10:32] <KNY> dcordes, set up a Jabber server?
[10:32] <ompaul> dcordes, some people run jabber (justin et al)
[10:32] <scoates> ompaul: doesn't that seem wonky to you?
[10:32] <slipttees> hi all
[10:33] <slipttees> i have problem :(
[10:33] <esaym> thank you dcordes and ompaul.  I somehow missed that
[10:33] <dcordes> ompaul, KNY i just want to communicate between to boxes
[10:33] <dsquare> ROFLMAO
[10:33] <dsquare> i just got gedit
[10:33] <dsquare> i was wondering what "gedit" was..
[10:33] <slipttees> ubuntu breezy doesn't work the kernel-k7
[10:33] <dsquare> "WHAT A GEDIT GUYS?!?!?!"
[10:33] <KNY> dcordes, `write` :)
 guess I'll just restart Xorg
[10:34] <scoates> ompaul: thanks for looking
[10:34] <computerNERDie> to lightseed: sry CamStudio is only win32.
[10:34] <ompaul> scotes I have something hang on a sec
[10:34] <scoates> ompaul: ok
[10:34] <dcordes> KNY: eh?
[10:34] <ompaul> !enter | dsquare
[10:34] <ubotu> dsquare: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[10:34] <KNY> dcordes, man write
[10:34] <dsquare> !thanks | ompaul
[10:34] <ubotu> ompaul: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[10:35] <rwissner> Sorry for this (probably trivial) question, but how do you create a statically linked executable (like e.g. the downloads from the Mozilla website)
[10:35] <slipttees> somebody?
[10:35] <computerNERDie> I have a Internet keyboard from Chicony is the possible to enable the internet key such as 'launch browser'-key 'search'-key 'cut'-key 'past-key' etc.
[10:35] <computerNERDie> Or is there no driver?
[10:35] <scoates> rwissner: AFAIK, the source needs to have a make target (or similar) to build static
[10:35] <ompaul> scoates, have a look for similar http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/9001
[10:35] <scoates> ompaul: looking
[10:36] <slipttees> ubuntu breezy doesn't work the kernel-k7, why?
[10:36] <jrib> computerNERDie: does it work when you try to set shortcuts in system . preferences > keyboard shortcuts to use those keys?
[10:36] <dcordes> KNY: thing is the other box is used by a complete noob. i don't know if it is too good to let her use the terminal
[10:36] <webgodfather> hi folks, I have a question.  I have BCM4318 wireless.  I am using ndis wrapper and wifi radar.  it says that I connect but it won't give me an ip number.  any ideas?
[10:36] <scoates> ompaul: I understand that load averages != CPU load
[10:36] <ompaul> slipttees, it did when I ran breezy about a year
[10:36] <KNY> dcordes, it was a joke
[10:36] <scoates> ompaul: maybe I'm being unclear. Top shows a CPU %us of >60 -- that should be a snapshot of the current CPU load, no?
[10:36] <dcordes> KNY: ah i see. is it possible to communicate with jabber without a server?
[10:37] <ompaul> scoates, na I am saying there are other articles that do it better than I will on irc used this query "percent in top differs from what I see"
[10:37] <slipttees> ompaul: i am update 5.04 for breezy about 5 day
[10:37] <scoates> ompaul: ah, ok
[10:37] <KrAsHeR> Hey guys... i'm feeling i forgot something... i installed the nvidia official driver and when i reboot the system, the gdm complains of kernel module missing... then i have to reinstall it... anyone can help me?
[10:37] <scoates> I'll try to find some clues. Thanks again, ompaul.
[10:37] <Marien> hola alguien que me ayude como conectarme via wi-fi

[10:37] <ompaul> scoates, maybe a I can be a bit clearer - it is close but it will never be 100% accurate
[10:38] <dyrne> KrAsHeR: try sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r)
[10:38] <Marien> ok
[10:38] <KNY> dcordes, if you're just looking for a computer-to-computer chat client, that's not hard at all
[10:38] <KNY> just Google around; I'm sure scores have been implemented in Java (cross-platform)
[10:38] <scoates> ompaul: sure. I expect a few % difference.. but we're talking swings of 20-40% here
[10:38] <dyrne> KrAsHeR: then just sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart   instead of reboot
[10:38] <computerNERDie> jrib: It's impossible the use any special keys, also the windows key does nothing, even if have set so.
[10:38] <dcordes> KNY: that's what i'm looking for
[10:38] <ompaul> slipttees, your o/s is almost out of support - move to dapper
[10:38] <ReAspired> I got this kinda error. when adding mythtv
[10:38] <webgodfather> any help with the wireless issue. I can connect (apparently), but it can't get an ip number.
[10:38] <KNY> that's a pretty standard CS project
[10:38] <ReAspired> ythtv-database: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[10:38] <slipttees> ompaul: dapper?
[10:38] <KrAsHeR> i have it already installed dyrne
[10:38] <ompaul> slipttees, after breezy
[10:39] <slipttees> released doesn't breezy?
[10:39] <slipttees> =/
[10:39] <dyrne> KrAsHeR: ah didnt read your post carfully enough :)
[10:39] <TorF> Is there a plug-in to display this page > http://www.xineph.com/shabaka30/ ???
[10:39] <KNY> does edgy ship with v4l2 by default?
[10:39] <computerNERDie> One thing I like best about Ubuntu is the easy update support. :)
[10:40] <ompaul> scoates, how many cores has the machine got?
[10:40] <scoates> ompaul: just one
[10:40] <scoates> ompaul: 1st gen Pentium-M
[10:41] <ashaffer> I just installed the openssh-server package, do I need to do anything else to be able to log into this computer?
[10:41] <KNY> ashaffer, no

[10:41] <KNY> ashaffer, just sudo apt-get install ssh

[10:42] <jrib> TorF: adobe does not provide a native linux shockwave plugin.  The only way to view that page that I know of it to install firefox in wine and use the shockwave plugin for windows...
[10:42] <dyrne> ashaffer: nope you can test by doing "ssh 127.0.0.1 -l username" in the terminal then exit and try your external ip. as long as your router is setup to forward port22 you should be good
[10:42] <jrib> TorF: (lobby adobe)

[10:47] <cyberjackal> i'm having a problem with aterm displaying things like ", -, etc... in things like man pages and even in my irc window.  They show up as "garbage" ascii characters.  Does anyone have an idea what I may need to change?
[10:48] <ompaul> scoates, think the law of averages remove that X and look and you will be happy
[10:48] <scoates> ompaul: heh.. ok
[10:48] <scoates> thanks

[10:48] <grayscale> up365, I did everything exactly as its mentioned on the URL you pointed me to.  I had done all those things already prior but I did them again anyway for good measure
[10:48] <grayscale> this is the error im getting
[10:48] <grayscale> *Failed to initialize GLX extensions (compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)
[10:49] <scoates> Anderson: PentiumM supports i686

[10:49] <ubotu> KaKa: Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl
[10:49] <Anderson> hmmmm... interesting... So, if it supports i686, would it also support i386, i486, i586?
[10:49] <grayscale> when i check my packages, it says im up-to-date
[10:50] <grayscale> could anyone help me out with a video driver problem im having?
[10:50] <Klick_> any tablet gnome users in here?
[10:51] <Vigo_> grayscale: Did you do the fglrx?
[10:51] <grayscale> no
[10:51] <Jackz> I installed software updates, from the notifier, and now my Wine, and Synaptic are gone!
[10:52] <agliv5> I fixed the problem by reformating the partition with ext3 instead of reiserfs... why doesn't Ubuntu like a reiserfs root?
[10:52] <G10> here is my adduser.local.conf file and All its supose to do is create the public_html folder, which it isnt, but it processes with no errors: http://pastebin.com/884764
[10:52] <SHKY> Hi
[10:52] <dyslixec> I have been trying to get firestarter for ubuntu but have little success :\
[10:52] <cafuego_> agliv5: Nothing should like a reiserfs root.
[10:52] <evilrob> so how the hell does gcc get installed without the presence of headerfiles like stdio.h ??
[10:52] <Vigo_> grayscale: I have tghe ATI Series 200 , was a mess, I used the Forums and found the fglrx command fixed it perfect.
[10:53] <grayscale> would it work with an nvidia card the same way?
[10:53] <Vigo_> grayscale: frfom what I read, it should.
[10:53] <cafuego_> evilrob: Why would it? It's quite possibly to compile things that don't need those headers.
[10:53] <agliv5> cafuego_ I've installed on a reiserfs root before... what's wrong with that?
[10:53] <Vigo_> grayscale: let me find it for you.....
[10:53] <cafuego_> agliv5: Reiserfs is - interesting, in terms of data security.
[10:54] <grayscale> im googling it and its looking like an ATI utility
[10:54] <ompaul> aglet, it has a rep for hiding data on a really long term basis
[10:54] <ompaul> agliv5, , it has a rep for hiding data on a really long term basis
[10:55] <evilrob> anyway....  a friend of mine is looking at the kernel developer job posted on ubuntu.com.  anyone know anything about how it is working for U?  pay scales etc?

[11:01] <dyslixec> ok, so these help guides for setting up repositories so I can download and install firestarter is kinda meh ;\. This one is telling me to go to system -> administration -> and software properties... but there's no software properties in there :|
[11:01] <ompaul> Vigo__, the ubuntu docs tend to be spot on for the ubuntu distro - not some generic stuff
[11:01] <chakian> hello

[11:03] <dyslixec> gah! I got this error when I launched synaptic PM ompaul   --> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[11:03] <cafuego_> ReAspired: sudo mysqladmin password <newpassword>  I think
[11:03] <ryan_> i need help getting my linksys card working, anyone help?

[11:03] <ciscosurfer> ReAspired: go here >. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[11:03] <ompaul> dyslixec, so close synaptic and start a terminal and run that command in there

[11:03] <Jackz> 0.57.11.1ubuntu8 (synaptic), and 0.57.11.1ubuntu8 (synaptic)
[11:03] <Jackz> Are what the Add/Remove ones say
[11:04] <ciscosurfer> Jackz: go into a terminal, and issue the following at the prompt (what output do you get?)         which synaptic
[11:04] <TorF> ubotu > it works, tyvm !
[11:04] <ompaul> chakian, so click on help and click on about firefox and then tell us that version number
[11:04] <matt|6S|ubuntu> hi all. i have apache2 and firestarter installed, unfortunately i cannot access my page from the internet although port 80 is allowed for everyone in the firestarter policy - any ideas?

[11:05] <dyslixec> dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege
[11:05] <ciscosurfer> Jackz: so you only have one instance, and that good.  YOu can go into your menu editor and see if it's somehow been turned off otherwise, you can create a new link there....go to System > Preferences > Menu Layout
[11:05] <hdxx> Thug-N-Me: try amsn
[11:05] <dyslixec> D:
[11:05] <Jackz> Okay, so now I know where the executable, or whatever Linux calls it, is.
[11:06] <mescon> does anyone know of an SSL/TLS enabled FTP-client for Gnome?
[11:06] <royel> matt|6S|ubuntu: do you have a router involved as well?
[11:06] <smokiedbest> i need help please

[11:06] <matt|6S|ubuntu> royel: nope
[11:06] <chakian> i get to Help > About Firefox ; there writes Ubuntu/edgy ; is that my ubuntu version
[11:06] <ciscosurfer> mescon: gFTP doesn't work?
[11:06] <mescon> ciscosurfer: it doesn't do ssl/tls afaik?
[11:06] <ompaul> chakian, yes edgy - 6.10
[11:06] <chakian> oh. thanks ompaul
[11:06] <adriaticator> The Places->Connect To Server option puts the connections on the desktop. Is there a way to put them somewhere else?
[11:06] <dyslixec> hrm if im the only user how would I set get myself into superuser privilege ? cause that command it told me to do ompal says I need superuser access to do.
[11:07] <ciscosurfer> mescon: okay, i don't use it, i was just throwing it out there...
[11:07] <Marupa> Is there a way to allow a user to access /dev/input/eventX?
[11:07] <royel> matt|6S|ubuntu: show me your firewall rules file, pastebin it
[11:07] <ciscosurfer> mescon: have you tried FireFTP (the extension for firefox) ?
[11:07] <royel> !pastebin | matt|6S|ubuntu
[11:07] <ubotu> matt|6S|ubuntu: 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)
[11:08] <mescon> ciscosurfer: i havent
[11:08] <matt|6S|ubuntu> royel: where does firestarter put it? :-)
[11:08] <ompaul> dyslixec, if you had done it right and started by saying my name I might have worked out who you were talking to -- sudo dkpg---
[11:08] <ciscosurfer> mescon: you might have some luck with it...here's the link >> http://fireftp.mozdev.org/ or here https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/684/
[11:08] <cafuego_> Marupa: Yes, udev rules can do this for you.
[11:08] <royel> matt|6S|ubuntu: I use shorewall, but look in /etc/firestarter/*

[11:11] <KrAsHeR> Hey guys... anyone can answer this question... i'm using ubuntu in a non-english language... and i got interrogation marks when in the text i have signals like   
[11:11] <mixandgo> does suspend to ram work in edgy ? I get a black screen and freeze on resume
[11:11] <enlightenedpsych> I've just installed Ubuntu and my slave hd doesn't appear to be detected and I don't really know what to do, I've tried to fix it but my knowledge of linux is a bit too much limited, so if anyone can help it would be appreciated
[11:12] <cafuego_> KrAsHeR: You need to use an UTF-8 locale then, so ts will work
[11:12] <matt|6S|ubuntu> royel: here you go: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6641/ --- just created with firestarter --generate-scripts
[11:12] <Thug-N-Me> hdxx amsn doesnt use yahoo protocol  only hotmail
[11:12] <Thug-N-Me> msn
[11:12] <KrAsHeR> utf-8 locale?
[11:12] <hdxx> Thug-N-Me: then try kopete
[11:13] <Thug-N-Me> hdxx yeah install it now
[11:13] <kane77> hi
[11:13] <ciscosurfer> Thug-N-Me: try gaim
[11:13] <Vigo__> enlightenedpshych: Did you set the BIOS or the boot.ini to detect ?
[11:14] <kane77> i'm considering installing gentoo, but I have a question. does anybody have experience with ralink ra2500 wifi card? my internet depends on it, and so far it didnt work anywhere...
[11:14] <Thug-N-Me> ciscosurfer gaim is what im using ... and it doesnt allow me to view webcam
[11:14] <ciscosurfer> Thug-N-Me: ok
[11:14] <matt|6S|ubuntu> royel: i just recognize that i have enabled subversion, too (port 3690), but this doesn't appear anywhere in the script... weird
[11:15] <morrolan> kane77 - I'm using a ralink ra2500 driver on my Belkin 54g, and it's working great, not had an issue
[11:15] <kane77> morrolan, oops.. I thought I was talking to gentoo channel :D
[11:15] <Vilhelms> I'm removed the xubuntu desktop package but whenever I use the Xgl session it loads gnome, with the xfce theme and all my keyboard shortucts don't work. If I start xfce-setting-show the theme goes back to the normal gnome theme but my keyboard shortcuts still don't work. This is my startxgl script http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6642/plain/
[11:15] <kane77> morrolan, mine works fine in ubuntu...
[11:16] <morrolan> kane77 - no problem - it does work on Ubuntu.  Ahhh, get your problem now, gentoo related
[11:16] <agliv5> Ok now I'm really confused... sever different people recommended me to use reiserfs... I wanted to use jfs or xfs because I read saw some benchmarks that suggested to me that were the fastest but apparently not good acording to a link that a friend sent me, that I can no longer find.... can anyone offer some insite into which is best or know of a good source of reading?
[11:16] <scoates> ompaul: fwiw, restarting X didn't help.. rebooting fixed it (for now), though
[11:16] <royel> matt|6S|ubuntu: this is not my specialty an its nothing like shorewall config files.. (exactly why I use shorewall) I'm lazy :)
[11:16] <kane77> morrolan, I'm just trying gentoo because my friend is saying a lot of good things about it...
[11:16] <KrAsHeR> anyone know how to set the right model of keyboard in terminal sessions (alt+f[1-6] )?
[11:16] <royel> matt|6S|ubuntu: uhm.. are you able to connect via ssh remotely? I see port 22 open
[11:16] <matt|6S|ubuntu> royel: i tried shorewall but i found it much harder to setup
[11:17] <matt|6S|ubuntu> royel: yes i am
[11:17] <ompaul> scoates, your missing the point - on a ratio basis X did some silly things on you and skewed your %s so it looks sorted there is nothing right but your playing averages
[11:17] <morrolan> kane77 - yeah, if you can be patient enough to wait for 4 hours for your new app to compile before you can use it :op
[11:17] <scoates> ompaul: I understand what you're saying. I've managed to make X stop using 15% cpu, now, though -- that's what I meant
[11:17] <royel> matt|6S|ubuntu: I wonder if it's not something in your apache then, like I said, I'm no expert on this type config, but it appears to be open
[11:17] <cntb> why audio/x-wav is so problematic on firefox ?
[11:17] <scoates> it's using more like 6% now
[11:17] <royel> matt|6S|ubuntu: feel ok giving me a link to the page your trying to open?
[11:17] <ompaul> scoates, so X leaks
[11:18] <royel> matt|6S|ubuntu: your server
[11:18] <scoates> ompaul: leaks cpu? (-:
[11:18] <KrAsHeR> anyone know how to set the right model of keyboard in terminal sessions (alt+f[1-6] )?
[11:18] <Vilhelms> I'm removed the xubuntu desktop package but whenever I use the Xgl session it loads gnome, with the xfce theme and all my keyboard shortucts don't work. If I start xfce-setting-show the theme goes back to the normal gnome theme but my keyboard shortcuts still don't work. This is my startxgl script http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6642/plain/
[11:18] <matt|6S|ubuntu> royel: well, apache works when i use my local network ip, but not when i try my isp ip, so i assume this is a firewall thing
[11:18] <kane77> morrolan, yeah, well thats a drawback, but I'm determined to try it (although only on vmware...) it's a bit of a challenge... and i like challenges...
[11:19] <matt|6S|ubuntu> royel: i'll dig into this tomorrow, thanks so far
[11:19] <ompaul> scoates, it is causing the cpu to work more and more - watch it fill your ram and then cause that ram to cost clock cycles as it gets refreshed and puts stuff (consumed resources) between you and your CPU
[11:19] <matt|6S|ubuntu> bye for now
[11:19] <Matteo_M> hi
[11:19] <scoates> ompaul: RAM was never full -- 2gigs (never swaps, anyway)
[11:20] <scoates> I mean, there's some over head to paging, but that's normal
[11:20] <Matteo_M> one question, can I install ubuntu 6.10 ppc on a firewire partition?
[11:20] <KrAsHeR> anyone know how to set the right model of keyboard in terminal sessions (alt+f[1-6] )?
[11:20] <robline_> anyone use Xara Xtreme?
[11:20] <ciscosurfer> KrAsHeR: what happens when you issue: gnome-keyboard-properties
[11:21] <agliv5> Ok, I have heard many different oppinions about which filesystem is best and am very confused by the apparently contratradictory information... any one know of a good reliable source?
[11:21] <ubuntu23> is ther a list of commands someone can tell me about
[11:22] <calvarez> agliv5, it doesn't matter, either reiser or ext3 will be just fine
[11:22] <KrAsHeR> in gnome the keyboard is right... but when i change to a terminal session (<ctrl><alt>+F[1-7] ), i can't use properly the / and  of my keyboard (Brazil ABNT 2)
[11:22] <royel> My gateway/fireway (ubuntu 6.06 server) is throttling my bandwidth to clients, I should get close to 3MB/s but it is choking me to around 1-1.2MB/s anyone have any clue why, I just done replacing all my nics with brand new nics.
[11:22] <ciscosurfer> KrAsHeR: hmm
[11:22] <yomm> is X forwarding disabled by default ,and if so ,how do I enable it ?
[11:22] <Kotter> can anyone help? i cant seem to get my intel prowireless 2200BG running under kubuntu, using ndiswrapper
[11:22] <xelados> I can't seem to get the wine configure script to detect my openGL libraries, when I'm positive they're in /usr/lib32
[11:22] <xelados> Any ideas on how to fix it?
[11:23] <xelados> I've already asked #winehq for help and they haven't been able to help me
[11:23] <xelados> I'm using Ubuntu dapper 64-bit
[11:23] <faLUCE> hi, I have installed the 2.6.17.3 kernel with RTAI patch. after rebooting i can't start X server... any tips? thnks
[11:23] <ubuntu23> Kotter join #kubuntu
[11:23] <Kotter> thx
[11:23] <patrialt> im using Azureus (torrent program) to download something, and i have the tcp/udp port 63343 forwarded to allow full access to Azureus, yet it says it's still having UDP problems
[11:23] <yomm> xelados : i'm pretty sure its a 64bit issue , do you ha ve a 32 bit system around to test ?
[11:23] <xelados> Nah.
[11:24] <patrialt> furthermore, in my firewall log, mass amounts of connection attempts are being blocked from port 31611 (UDP)
[11:24] <yomm> xelados : lots of lib porblems with 64bit
[11:24] <xelados> I have two copies of my openGL libraries, though (libGL.so and libGLU.so, right?)
[11:24] <enlightenedpsych> I've just installed Ubuntu and it doesnt seem to detect my slave hd (it's detected in the BIOS and was there when I had windows) and I don't really know what to do, I've search for some tutorial but didn't found something really useful so if anyone can help it would be very appreciated
[11:24] <xelados> one copy is in /usr/lib, the other in /usr/lib32
[11:24] <patrialt> is there any chance, that like...the udp access port is supposed to be equal to approx half of the tcp port?
[11:24] <ciscosurfer> patrialt: do you have the proper permissions set for azureus directories and for azureus itself?
[11:24] <Talaman> hello
[11:25] <patrialt> im not sure what your saying cisco, how will i check my permissions for it?
[11:25] <ubuntu23> how can i nget my azereus to download fast
[11:25] <Talaman> how do i get my login to go past the shell login without having to login
[11:25] <scoates> ubuntu23: open up the proper ports on your router (nothing to do with Ubuntu)
[11:25] <Talaman> that being skipping the command line login
[11:25] <dyrne> Talaman: go straight to gdm?
[11:25] <un0p> patrialt,  what are you talking about?
[11:25] <ubuntu23> scoates i am using port forwarding i still download crazy cslow
[11:25] <Talaman> yes
[11:26] <sean__> test
[11:26] <Talaman> or startx or whatever it is
[11:26] <sean__> hey guys
[11:26] <ciscosurfer> patrialt: first go into a terminal and issue the following command (b/c I don't have it installed anymore and don't recall where it is)    which azureus
[11:26] <sean__> any apple users running ubuntu in here?
[11:26] <Talaman> i must have changed something and now i have to login to the command line and then do a sudo gdm
[11:26] <ubuntu23> how can i find out my gateway on ubuntu
[11:26] <sean__> or ppc in general
[11:26] <un0p> ubuntu23,  well, if you download from a source that's not very fast, you aren't going to get any more speed than he can offer :)
[11:26] <scoates> ubuntu23: could be your ISP throttling it
[11:27] <scoates> could be dozens of things
[11:27] <ubuntu23> dam them providers
[11:27] <sean__> can i ask a tech question guys?
[11:27] <agliv5> calvarez I wanted to use reiser as my root partition and ubuntu didn't except it and several users here said that reisersfs has a tendency to apparently loose or hide files...
[11:27] <ubuntu23> i get 13 - 20 seeders
[11:27] <patrialt> un0p primarily what im trying to figure out, is what might be attempting to access my computer via port 31611
[11:27] <sean__> I need help setting up my ibook. I want my command (apple) key to work like the ctrl key
[11:27] <ubuntu23> Ask any question
[11:27] <ciscosurfer> patrialt: try issuing the following in a terminal and then run Azureus again to see if this fixes it:    sudo chown -R root:root /opt/azureus/
[11:28] <Aggrav8d> hello, all.
[11:28] <calvarez> agliv5, i'd advise you just stick to whatever the default of your distro is
[11:28] <calvarez> agliv5, just saves trouble
[11:28] <bauer77> Do I have to use the Live CD to use qparted? Is there any way to add a partition without doing it this way
[11:28] <Talaman> any ideas dyrne
[11:28] <Oz_Diver_68> Hello All...  I'm just about at my wits end here....   Trying to get autologin on LTSP under Ubuntu!
[11:28] <agliv5> ok, I found the link that I was looking for ;) according to http://linuxgazette.net/122/piszcz.html xfs & jfs are best... anyone dissagree or have an opinion why I should not use jfs on root and home?
[11:28] <Oz_Diver_68>  Anyone had any success in this regard? :-(
[11:29] <agliv5> calvarez how do I know what the default is?
[11:29] <calvarez> agliv5, yes, the default ext3 has been tested by 89798798798798 people
[11:29] <ciscosurfer> bauer77: you can either unmount the disc or partition you want to modify (or if that's not an option) you can use the LIveCD or the GParted LiveCd (which I like much better)
[11:29] <Aggrav8d> I have an old mandriva box that has a lot of backup data on it.  I'd like to replace mandriva with ubuntu but I don't want to lose any of the data.  I'm trying to find the best way to copy data off the box.  suggestions?
[11:29] <calvarez> agliv5, it's ext3
[11:29] <calvarez> in ubuntu it's ext3
[11:29] <dyrne> Talaman: you have gdm installed?
[11:29] <un0p> patrialt,  well, it doesnt look like a known port, it could be random traffic or a person mistaken your IP address/hostname for something/someone else
[11:29] <dyrne> Talaman: or using startx or xinit?
[11:29] <patrialt> ciscosurfer would these sounds weird to you, it appears that even tho i assigned port 63343 to azureus for tcp/udp connections, it's using 63343 for tcp only, and using a random other port for
[11:29] <patrialt> UDP
[11:29] <ciscosurfer> bauer77: go here for the GParted live cd >> http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[11:29] <Aggrav8d> I've tried to ssh and ftp to the box and, though I can connect, it seems to be running terribly slow.
[11:29] <Quintin_> Aggrav8d: I suggest you use 5.25" floppies.
[11:29] <calvarez> Aggrav8d, just use scp and be patient
[11:30] <agliv5> calvarez if ext3 is the default then only because it has been tested so much, the others might be more experimental, but definately faster... better?
[11:30] <bauer77> thanks, so there is no built in disk management then correct?
[11:30] <calvarez> Aggrav8d, or if you can get a hold of a external USB hard drive, even better
[11:30] <patrialt> un0p my only guess is that it's being accessed via a program im using, becuase i've received a couple hundred requests for that port, all by diff outside IPs
[11:30] <ciscosurfer> patrialt: that sounds okay..you may be able to assign static port numbers from within Azureus though...or forward the ports you want open via your firewall/router for udp
[11:30] <Aggrav8d> calvarez - excellent idea! i have just such a drive and it was out of sight, out of mind.
[11:30] <calvarez> agliv5, they might be, I haven't tried them. But again, do you prefer to have something "faster, better" that hasn't been tested enough?
[11:30] <derFlo> does anybody know a good newsreader with gtk frontend
[11:31] <derFlo> it should support nzbs
[11:31] <patrialt> yea, now that i've unblocked this random other port number, the UDP problem seems to have resolved
[11:31] <ciscosurfer> patrialt: good to hear
[11:31] <calvarez> agliv5, just a thought, I've used systems with ext3 that were pretty harddrive intensive and they worked very fast
[11:31] <dyrne> derFlo: well most people i know who want something with a decent gui use pan
[11:31] <patrialt> ciscosurfer it appears that the default firewall that comes with ubuntu was blocking ports
[11:31] <calvarez> agliv5, if you were running a high traffic server, then you probably should be concerning with such things
[11:31] <dyrne> derFlo: before torrent i used it alot for tv shows
[11:31] <un0p> patrialt,  well, the only sure way to find out is to monitor traffic and/or listening ports on your machine
[11:32] <ciscosurfer> patrialt: you had to open the ports through iptables??
[11:32] <Talaman> dyrne i have gdm installed
[11:32] <derFlo> dyrne: but Pan does NOT support nzbs :(
[11:32] <Talaman> and a few others i think
[11:32] <calvarez> agliv5, if not, if it's just a personal desktop, then just go ext3, you will notice no difference :)
[11:32] <dyrne> Talaman: id imagine you could sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm    or just add the symlinks manually
[11:32] <sean__> can someone help me set up my keyboard so that the apple (command) key works like a ctrl key?
[11:32] <sean__> its a pcc ibook g4
[11:32] <soho> hello, what is the meaning of this error message:
[11:32] <patrialt> ciscosurfer, but now that i've downloaded Firestarter and told it to unblock the UDP port that was receiving mass connect requests, im getting much better azureus transfer rates
[11:33] <soho> (gedit:23150): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
[11:33] <soho> Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.
[11:33] <soho> can somebody tell me
[11:33] <ciscosurfer> patrialt: sounds good
[11:33] <patrialt> i dont think i could teach myself to use iptables
[11:33] <patrialt> without burning my house down
[11:33] <un0p> patrialt,  sounds to me you've just opened a port and not really understood why
[11:33] <soho> i cannot start gedit with sudo anymore, but i don't know why
[11:33] <patrialt> yup pretty much un0p
[11:33] <derFlo> does anybody know a good newsreader with gtk frontend, it should support nzb-files..
[11:33] <cyphase> Why doesn't Gaim in Feisty have Bonjour support?
[11:34] <patrialt> but that's what you get when you stick a windows xp user into the linux OS world
[11:34] <arrenlex> cyphase: It's not french.
[11:34] <Talaman> dyrne ok, i am going to restart now
[11:34] <kompressor> is there a marcromedia flash mx solution in ubuntu ( i dont mean the driver but the program)
[11:34] <patrialt> a confused user just fidgiting til he can get things working, but dont get me wrong, im trying to understand and learn what im doing :P
[11:34] <arrenlex> kompressor: Flash MX runs great under wine.
[11:34] <cyphase> arrenlex: haha :) you know what i mean
[11:35] <kompressor> arrenlex but there is no free downloadable solution in the library?
[11:35] <un0p> patrialt,  well, opening ports and understanding networking is independant of the OS really -- if windows firewall was complaining about random port hits, i would want to find out why that was happening before making an exception
[11:35] <arrenlex> kompressor: To create flash the way you do in Flash MX? No.
[11:35] <dyrne> soho: use gksudo. but id do something like sudo -s then cd then ls -a | xargs -i chown username {}  or probably just sudo chown -R username ~ would work
[11:36] <kompressor> to bad:P
[11:36] <Klick_> Hey all, can anyone help me figure out why whenever i manuly type in rotate from the terminal it works, but when i create a custom gconf entry for the command rotate it doesnt work?
[11:36] <Klick_> http://pastebin.com/884800
[11:36] <dyrne> soho: sometimes sudo can mess ownership up when used on gui apps
[11:36] <patrialt> un0p well here's what i was thinking when i allowed them, i figured "oh okay, i'll unblock these for about 5 minutes, if the problem on azurus doesn't resolve, then i'll know that my security is at risk"
[11:36] <lisapc> where can I download ubuntu torrent pls?
[11:36] <patrialt> the azureus problem seems to be gone, so i dont feel too worried that im exposed
[11:37] <lisapc> patrialt what port u using?
[11:37] <un0p> patrialt,  errm .. no, if a burglar tries picking on your lock and you notice the pick marks, you dont just unlock your door, do you?
[11:37] <dyrne> lisapc: ubuntu.com is quicker to download from
[11:37] <patrialt> lol sure i do un0p, if i have a baseball bat :P
[11:37] <royel> un0p: lol, nice analogy
[11:37] <soho> dyrne; thanks, gksudo also return with the same error-message. i take a look at launchpad and it is reported as a bug.
[11:37] <patrialt> lisapc im using 63343 for tcp and 31611 for udp
[11:37] <patrialt> dunno why tho
[11:37] <patrialt> azureus should use same tcp/udp
[11:37] <dyrne> soho: a bug?! in ubuntu?
[11:38] <yourmomsbox> hey pressing ctrl-alt-backspace provides an extremely noticable speed boost for those of you willing to try it..
[11:38] <patrialt> un0p it also seemed very unlikely
[11:38] <yourmomsbox> </stupidity check>
[11:38] <lisapc> patrialt why u using 63343 for tcp and 31611 for udp?
[11:38] <soho> dyrne; i also couldn't belive it
[11:38] <Quintin> lisapc: ubuntu.com
[11:38] <yourmomsbox> don't do this unless you wish to kill your x session
[11:38] <arrenlex> !kidding | yourmomsbox
[11:38] <ubotu> yourmomsbox: You may think your joke is funny, but you may confuse new users or irritate people who actually start answering your question :)
[11:38] <yourmomsbox> thank you arrenlex
[11:38] <arrenlex> yw
[11:38] <dyrne> yourmomsbox: xgamma -rgamma 3   is helpful also
[11:38] <patrialt> lisapc well i chose 63343 randomly a couple months back on my old pc, so i figured i'd use it again, since my router has already been configured to forward that port for tcp/udp
[11:39] <patrialt> and azureus seems to have chosen port 31611 for UDP all by itself :P
[11:39] <yourmomsbox> dyrne: fun fun
[11:40] <lisapc> patrialt is it good idea to use the default ports?
[11:40] <yourmomsbox> nah 3 isn't potent enough
[11:40] <un0p> lisapc,  almost always yes
[11:40] <patrialt> umm, im not sure it really matters, i just choose port #'s that i can remember :P
[11:40] <patrialt> and ones that i dont use for any other programs ofcourse
[11:41] <patrialt> un0p a while back when i was reading up on azureus i believe i read something about, the default ports set on azureus should be changed, because your local ISP may have umm tampered with them
[11:41] <patrialt> to make them less useable as far as P2P connections go
[11:41] <leoni> when i try to iniciate x i get this message: XIO: fatal IO error 104 (connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.   can someone help me?
[11:41] <patrialt> i cant remember the technical terms they used :P
[11:42] <Boosted> Hey, question.  What is the best browser to use to get java to work right?  I can't get any of them to work . .
[11:42] <qeed> firefox works well with java
[11:42] <royel> My gateway/fireway (ubuntu 6.06 server) is throttling my bandwidth to clients, I should get close to 3MB/s down but it is choking me to around 1-1.2MB/s, I have tested extensively, an it is a problem within the server, an I replaced all the nics just earlier today. Any clues?
[11:43] <un0p> patrialt,  well ok, maybe this works on azureus or whatever, but normally clients connect to a default hardcoded port and if you change that, you break things (could explain your slowdowns) .. in othercases, their firewalls detect traffic going to anomalous ports and block traffic (also explaining your slowdown)
[11:43] <Boosted> qeed; it doesn't work on the website that I need it to lol
[11:43] <cafuego_> royel: Running a 10Mbit hub?
[11:43] <qeed> Boosted, what's the error?
[11:44] <TwoPints> can linux run bsd binaries?
[11:44] <royel> cafuego_: 100M switch
[11:44] <un0p> TwoPints,  no, not as far as i know .. but the reverse is certainly true
[11:44] <erUSUL> TwoPints: no, afaik
[11:44] <TwoPints> cheers
[11:44] <cafuego_> royel: What does mii-tool say?
[11:44] <leoni> when i try to iniciate x i get this message: XIO: fatal IO error 104 (connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.   can someone help me?
[11:45] <royel> cafuego_: eth2: negotiated 100baseTx-FD flow-control, link ok
[11:45] <royel> eth3: negotiated 100baseTx-FD flow-control, link ok
[11:45] <Gin> hi
[11:45] <royel> eep, sorry about that
[11:45] <patrialt> un0p i am running at normal speeds now that i've unblocked the UDP access port
[11:45] <Boosted> qeed, says java isn't enabled, but I have every package that is in the ubuntu repository installed, and if I go to the properties in firefox it says it is enabled...
[11:45] <Gin> I can't find the ubuntu server iso
[11:45] <patrialt> i have low low low end dsl
[11:45] <patrialt> so i max out at about 80kbps
[11:46] <un0p> patrialt,  unblocking your ports there hasn't definitively increased the speeds (you just arent sure)
[11:46] <patrialt> un0p, ...and how are you sure?
[11:46] <cafuego_> royel: And at the other end of that link?
[11:46] <un0p> patrialt,  i dont have to be, it's not my security status under scrutiny :)
[11:46] <royel> cafuego_: other end?
[11:47] <cafuego_> royel: the server is one side. What about the other side?
[11:47] <patrialt> lol, well before unblocking the UDP ports i was getting about 20kbps dl speeds, and now it's more than doubled
[11:47] <un0p> patrialt,  but if i were you, i'd be a 100% sure
[11:47] <royel> cafuego_: oh, clients?
[11:47] <patrialt> well im not sure how to be 100% sure :P and i dont understand what you meant earlier about tracking or monitoring the traffic inflow before unblocking >.<
[11:48] <qeed> Boosted, did you symlink the java plugin to your firefox plugin dir?
[11:48] <Boosted> qeed, no it didn't I just used the add/remove.  Got a link to how to do it?
[11:49] <un0p> patrialt,  well, if something is trying to connect to a port on your machine, there has to be a server/service listening on that port .. now, using a netstat at the command line, it is possible to determine if your machine is listening on that port and what process has that port open
[11:49] <patrialt> so like...type netstat in the terminal/
[11:49] <patrialt> ahh, ty
[11:50] <un0p> patrialt,  i believe - netstat -ano | grep -i "port_number"
[11:50] <hyperactivecrond> doesn't lsof serve the purpose netstat does, too?
[11:50] <un0p> patrialt,  or better, for tcp - netstat -ano -p tcp | grep -i "port_number"
[11:50] <qeed> Boosted, make a symlink in your ~/.mozilla/plugins dir pointing to /usr/lib/jre<versionhere>/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
[11:51] <un0p> hyperactivecrond,  lsof shows you open files and the processes which have those file open -- so it's not related to netstat directly
[11:51] <hyperactivecrond> un0p, i read somewhere lsof has an option to show open network connections
[11:51] <Boosted> qeed, keep in mind that I work on routers for a living, and I hate vista so I moved to ubuntu lol how do I do the link?  is that the ln thing? lol
[11:51] <Boosted> I'm a noob
[11:51] <Vilhelms> How do you change gtk themes?
[11:52] <Vilhelms> Boosted, Same here ;)

[11:52] <johnficca> dose anyone know how to fix the lines in totem when playing a dvd
[11:52] <johnficca> ?
[11:52] <Vilhelms> cafuego, Its not working :(
[11:52] <Vilhelms> cafuego_, its not working :(
[11:52] <cafuego_> give it a pay rise.
[11:52] <un0p> hyperactivecrond,  you're right, the manpage does verify that
[11:53] <Vilhelms> cafuego_, a pay raise o.O?
[11:53] <leoni> i am tring to run xterm, every time i try to start up x i get an error telling me x does not recgnize any devices, can someone give me a pointer?
[11:53] <Boosted> qeed, so it would be ln -s ~/.mozilla/plugins  /usr/lib/jre<versionhere>/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
[11:53] <samalex> Interesting issue with Evolution.  When I drag a message to any folder, it automatically goes to Trash... no matter what folder.
[11:53] <cafuego_> Vilhelms: maybe it will work if you give it mor money
[11:53] <qeed> Boosted, ln -s  /usr/lib/jre<versionhere>/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/
[11:53] <qeed> the link you want to make goes first
[11:54] <patrialt> un0p i did those commands, but i dont really understand the feedback it's giving me
[11:54] <Boosted> qeed, k, gonna try, do I need to restart anything to apply it?
[11:54] <BreakDecks> I installed OSS-linux and now no sound drivers work at all
[11:54] <cafuego_> Vilhelms: That response means: unless you explain what it's not doing, there's not much we cna do to help.
[11:54] <qeed> Boosted, just restart firefox
[11:54] <Demolitio> i have a big problem... i tried to install xgl, came up with an error saying that the files were no found, and crashed xserver. i removed the entries i made in gdm.conf_custom and Xsession, and now i can't log in to my default profile. im talking to you guys through the root account, and have less administration options than i did with the account that is crashing. suggestions? am i screwed?
[11:54] <hyperactivecrond> BreakDecks, why OSS-linux in the first place?
[11:54] <un0p> patrialt,  ok, before filtering out with grep, its better to run the netstat command on its own to view the headings associated with each column, it should then make it clearer for you -- netstat -ano -p tcp
[11:54] <Boosted> qeed, k, trying it now
[11:55] <johnficca> dose anyone know how to fix the lines in totem when playing a dvd?
[11:55] <BreakDecks> I am trying to run StepMania, and it wouldn't run with ALSA
[11:55] <whileimhere> !DVD

[11:56] <ubuntu23> how can i get my gateway address
[11:56] <Vilhelms> cafuego_, well i think my problem has to do with xfce... i installed xubuntu-desktop with apt, and today uninstalled it. but whenever i run xgl with gnome it loads the last xfce theme i had, and i can't change it. also, my keyboard shortcuts don't work. if i run gnome on its own everything works fine =\
[11:56] <ubuntu23> !gateway
[11:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gateway - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:56] <patrialt> un0p how does seeing all that stuff pop up NOT overwhelm you? lol
[11:56] <cafuego_> Vilhelms: Yes, I'm not at all sure xfce sues those settings. If it should though, make sure gconfd and cnome-control-center are running.
[11:56] <royel> cafuego_: sorry I had to deal with a crying kid, by other side did you mean a client? if so this is the output: eth1: negotiated 100baseTx-FD flow-control, link ok
[11:57] <Demolitio> i have a big problem... i tried to install xgl, came up with an error saying that the files were no found, and crashed xserver. i removed the entries i made in gdm.conf_custom and Xsession, and now i can't log in to my default profile. im talking to you guys through the root account, and have less administration options than i did with the account that is crashing. suggestions? am i screwed?
[11:57] <Boosted> qeed, there is not a ~/.mozilla dir, where would it be?
[11:57] <un0p> patrialt,  well, you learn to be a little diligent and home in on only the information that you need "hence why i used grep" .. but you have to know what you are filtering with grep before doing so
[11:57] <dyslixec> okkk
[11:58] <qeed> Boosted, .firefox probably
