[12:06] <up365> hyperactivecrond,  sorry that should be for gus321Blastoff
[12:06] <hyperactivecrond> gus321Blastoff, try monarch they do linux
[12:06] <hyperactivecrond> Enselic``, it's not rpm's fault. it's yum's OCD.
[12:06] <gus321Blastoff> Thanks hyperactive
[12:07] <hyperactivecrond> bill's in the mail gus321Blastoff
[12:07] <Demolitio> i have a big problem... i tried to install xgl, on the latest edgy,  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 in gnome than i did with the account that is crashing. suggestions? am i screwed?
[12:08] <Demolitio> it just crashes the xsession literally in 2 seconds.
[12:08] <hyperactivecrond> Demolitio, backup all the data in /home/<yourusernamehere> and delete the account. rm -r /home/<username> and re-create the account
[12:08] <hyperactivecrond> ^^ my opinion may not work
[12:08] <Boosted> qeed, I can't find the plugin dir, could it be called anything else :(
[12:08] <I-kido> Are the Linux-restricted* packages necessary when I want to use Nvidia 1.0.9xxx ?
[12:08] <DBFT> hey - Im trying to run the jarsigner (java) - but when i type jarsigner DSigner.jar DBFT it just says jarsigner invalid command
[12:09] <DBFT> what do i need to write?
[12:09] <Demolitio> @ hyperactivecrond will the new account i make give me access again to the synaptic package manager?
[12:10] <hyperactivecrond> Demolitio, i think you have to add your user to the admin group idk which group this is though..
[12:10] <oreth> macd: i'm overwhelmed at the questions in here. I usually feel like I can help, but I'm so lost :P
[12:10] <qeed> Boosted, don't know
[12:10] <Demolitio> hmm thanks.
[12:10] <hyperactivecrond> Demolitio, from a terminal: cd /home/<yourusername>
[12:10] <hyperactivecrond> ls -la
[12:10] <Boosted> qeed, hold on, trying something :)
[12:10] <hyperactivecrond> and pastebin the output
[12:10] <DBFT> arghh why wont "jarsigner" work in terminal!??
[12:10] <Demolitio> thanks... gtg someone is honking his horn at me. :P later all.
[12:11] <Enselic``> DBFT: do you have it installed?
[12:11] <DBFT> (nb: there is a file called jarsigner in the directory)
[12:11] <I-kido> Are the Linux-restricted* packages necessary when I want to use Nvidia 1.0.9xxx ?  Just a yes or No
[12:11] <Enselic``> DBFT: make sure its executable
[12:11] <DBFT> it is :|
[12:11] <Enselic``> DBFT: and prefix it with ./
[12:11] <DBFT> ok that worked cheers
[12:11] <Enselic``> DBFT:    ./jarsigner stuff stuff
[12:11] <DBFT> why did that work btw?
[12:11] <Enselic``> DBFT: Unix needs paths to executables
[12:12] <Enselic``> DBFT: or soemthing like that :P
[12:12] <DBFT> lol thanks then :)
[12:12] <econobeing> any tips to get my koss cs-95 mic to work on my dell laptop?
[12:12] <Enselic``> DBFT: you could write the full path too, startin with /
[12:12] <Proghead> hyperactivecrond I've get plenty of stuff when writing dmesg | grep hd (mainly because that my cddrive appear confused), and my slave hd is listed

[12:13] <Ami1> Can anyone help with a sound problem?
[12:14] <Enselic``> !ask | Ami1
[12:14] <ubotu> Ami1: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:14] <Ami1> ok... :D
[12:14] <Ami1> I have a Thinkpad R50e.
[12:15] <Ami1> When I ran Ubuntu (6.10) from the CD the sound worked fine.
[12:15] <Ami1> I'm not sure if it worked or not after I've installed.
[12:15] <Enselic``> Ami1: have you looked here?:
[12:15] <Ami1> But now it doesn't...
[12:15] <Enselic``> !sound | Ami1
[12:15] <ubotu> Ami1: 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
[12:15] <Proghead> hyperactivecrond yes it appear as hdb

[12:16] <tracy> can anyone help me compile a webcam driver?
[12:16] <hyperactivecrond> Proghead, try sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt
[12:16] <Ami1> The problem is that there's no problem... excpet for no sound ;)
[12:16] <Ami1> The driver is up and running.
[12:16] <Ami1> esd is working in the background.
[12:16] <tao> mmmmmm
[12:16] <tao> good night
[12:16] <Enselic``> tracy: follow instructions that came with it and you should be fine
[12:16] <Ami1> No application says it is busy.
[12:16] <Ami1> But no sound...
[12:16] <tracy> yeah Enselic`` i would do that if i understood what it was telling me to do
[12:16] <econobeing> i used sound recorder, and i can hear my mic running, but it's ridiculously low, even though all the capture/mic/input volume controls are max
[12:16] <savvas> how do i remove: Translation-en_US from the apt sources when it tries to update ?
[12:16] <econobeing> anything i can do about that?
[12:16] <tao> I was wondering if somebody know a XVNC client with AIXGL ..
[12:16] <Enselic``> Ami1: I wish I could help, but I'm not into sound :(
[12:17] <Enselic``> Ami1: hang in here, sooner or later someone who knows stuff will see the q
[12:17] <Enselic``> tracy: what part of it doesnt you understand?
[12:17] <Enselic``> tracy: I can guide yo
[12:18] <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?
[12:18] <tracy> pretty much all of it. ive never compiled anything by myself. im new at trying to do this all on my own.
[12:18] <trashbat> MSG cryedwolf <safe>
[12:18] <BreakDecks> How do I get OSS to run under Ubuntu 6.10?  I have installed it, but it just causes my other sound drivers to stop working.
[12:18] <Enselic``> tracy: well, what for example
[12:18] <Proghead> hyperactivecrond I enter my password and it wrote nothing, so should it have worked? I don't see it more but maybe Im searching at the wrong place, since I've installed Ubuntu today hehe
[12:18] <tao> I love beryl !
[12:18] <Enselic``> tracy: the first line you dont get, what'sthat?
[12:18] <javadots>  does anybody know what I need to put into my boot.ini in order for my crappy laptop to recognize I actually have an install cd in it at bootup?
[12:19] <hyperactivecrond> Proghead, yes it should've said nothing :)
[12:19] <savvas> how do i remove: Translation-en_US from the apt sources when it tries to update ?
[12:19] <hyperactivecrond> Proghead, cd /mnt && ls
[12:19] <Enselic``> javadots: you want to poke with the BIOS for that
[12:19] <tracy> well i know im supposed to go to the terminal and somehow the word makefile should come in somewhere.
[12:19] <Enselic``> javadots: set CD as primary boot device in BIOS
[12:19] <crafteh> I am trying to build a ethernet driver module, but I don't have a /lib/modules/2.6.17-11-386/build directory. How do I get that build directory?
[12:19] <Enselic``> tracy: go to the source dir and type 'make'
[12:19] <crafteh> I do have the /lib/modules/2.6.... directory though
[12:19] <Enselic``> tracy: if something happends, that's a good sign
[12:19] <javadots> Enselic``: ook. I'll try again, I put the ! by the CD-Rom bootup, i'll try again

[12:20] <javadots> I think I have to move it up to the top of the list
[12:20] <cryedwolf> MSG trashbat safe
[12:20] <Proghead> hyperactivecrond not allowed
[12:20] <hyperactivecrond> Proghead: sudo /sbin/fdisk -l
[12:20] <hyperactivecrond> that will tell u what partitions are there
[12:20] <hyperactivecrond> look for hdb
[12:20] <tracy> its saying theres no such file or directory, but its on my desktop
[12:21] <Enselic``> tracy: did you get the source from svn/cvs or as a .tar.gz?
[12:21] <tracy> .tar.gz
[12:21] <Proghead> hyperactivecrond okay it's there
[12:21] <tracy> its the spca5xx driver
[12:21] <hyperactivecrond> Proghead, ok so you have only one partition.
[12:21] <trashbat> MSG cryedwolfthis is heavy man beets msn shit
[12:22] <hyperactivecrond> so do : sudo umount /mnt; sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /media/windows -o user,uid=<yourusernamehere>,ro
[12:22] <Proghead> hyperactivecrond yes
[12:22] <trashbat> MSG cryedwolf gay
[12:22] <royel> Wuilliam: did you check your bios to see what devices are set to boot?
[12:22] <Enselic``> tracy: when you have extracted the archive, see what files there is by doing 'ls' in the dir
[12:22] <hyperactivecrond> !language
[12:22] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[12:22] <crafteh> I am trying to build a ethernet driver module, but I don't have a /lib/modules/2.6.17-11-386/build directory. How do I get that build directory? I do have a /lib/modules/2.6.17-11-386/ directory though.
[12:22] <hyperactivecrond> crafteh, is the kernel source installled?
[12:22] <crafteh> hyperactivecrond: i don't know. how do i get it?
[12:22] <Enselic``> tracy: is there a Makefile?
[12:22] <tracy> yes
[12:23] <tracy> there is Enselic``
[12:23] <Enselic``> tracy: now type 'make'
[12:23] <crafteh> hyperactivecrond: i don't think i've ever used the source before
[12:23] <hyperactivecrond> what is the deb for kernel source again? linux-source ?
[12:23] <I-kido> Are the Linux-restricted* packages necessary when I want to use Nvidia 1.0.9xxx  driver only?  Just a yes or No
[12:23] <Enselic``> tracy: if it doesn't work, try 'sudo apt-get install buildessential
[12:23] <crafteh> yeah linux-source looks good
[12:24] <tracy> it says "nothing to be done for ..." and the file
[12:24] <Enselic``> tracy: that probably means you've compiled it already
[12:24] <savvas> why does it search for "Translation-en_US" in the apt repositories when it tries to update?
[12:24] <Aggrav8d> stupid question:  from the command line how do i shut down X11?
[12:24] <tracy> no, because it doesnt work :\
[12:24] <FartingLady> shit son, that one was rancid... I didn't have any corn....

[12:25] <tracy> Hm..
[12:25] <lllloo> i got a quick question were do i edit ubuntu to remove ENTRIES in the application menu...?
[12:25] <tracy> how would i go about installing it?
[12:25] <Enselic``> tracy: exactly what is needed for that should be mentioned in the INSTALL or whatever that file is called
[12:25] <Enselic``> tracy: for "normal" software, it's 'sudo make install'
[12:25] <PiNE> does anyone know if there is a way to make nautilus open a folder that a file is hovering over?
[12:25] <Wuilliam> royel: my boot priority is, 1. CDROM -- sata -- ide
[12:25] <Slacktard> Pardon me, but while df -h tells me my disk is full, choosing properties from gnome tells me that I still have a some space left... I am unable to locate the files that take the space specified.
[12:25] <Enselic``> tracy: but for drivers you probably need to do other stuff of which I'm not into
[12:26] <hyperactivecrond> Proghead, which type of filesystem.. .ntfs or fat?
[12:27] <lllloo> i got a quick question were do i edit ubuntu to remove ENTRIES in the application menu...?

[12:38] <royel> quaal: in firefox preferences, you can change that , doesn't seem to work for me, but the option is there :)
[12:38] <Proghead> royel it says to write fdisk /dev/(name of the device) so it should be fdisk /dev/hdb but it doesn't work
[12:38] <Enselic``> bjornolai: you seem to have no EEID configured, set one in System -> Admin -> Networking

[12:39] <royel> Proghead: you sure it's /dev/hdb?
[12:39] <Proghead> royel but it doesn't work with hda neither so im probably forgetting something
[12:39] <Enselic``> bjornolai: an EEID? you need to match the EEID with the one the router uses

[12:39] <mixandgo> how can I suspend from the console ? without using X

[12:40] <andy753422> I remember once seeing a applet for gnome-panel that was basically an input box, where you could type a shell command and it would be run. Does anyone know where I can find something like that?
[12:40] <colbert> I have installed Ubuntu 6.1, and upon boot it says "Error Loading Operating System." I installed it on a IDE slave drive, formatting it during install. I have Vista installed on a SATA which i normally boot to.
[12:40] <royel> mixandgo: dont think you can suspend in a shell
[12:40] <bjornolai> Enselic`` ok. I'll have to wait till i get to my uni then
[12:40] <mixandgo> royel, why not ?
[12:41] <matason> How do I control the size of desktop icons?
[12:41] <Wuilliam> colbert: do you have the same problem????? windows runs good, but isntall ubuntu and never run

[12:41] <bjornolai> Enselic`` thanx again
[12:41] <matason> Can I set a size somewhere instead of using "Stretch Icon"?
[12:41] <royel> quaal: cool :)
[12:41] <Wuilliam> i installed the ubuntu whit LILO and i lose the windows boot, now no 1 run

[12:41] <quaal> royel, didnt work for you ?
[12:41] <EnsignRedshirt> andy753422: In dapper, you can add a "Run Application" thingy.  But I seem to recall reading that it was taken out of edgy?
[12:42] <matason> I am using 6.06

[12:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about drivers - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:42] <electricenergy> Enselic``: Yes, it is configured in xorg.conf, but I must have screwed up somewhere. I'm not really sure where to look from here
[12:42] <quaal> royel, ah.. bummer
[12:42] <quaal> royel, thankyou
[12:42] <Proghead> royel thanks, so it's ntfs
[12:42] <andy753422> EnsignRedshirt: that's probably what I was thinking of, but I cant find it, any clue where to get it from?
[12:42] <Enselic``> electricenergy: did you follow some guide?
[12:42] <royel> Proghead: :)
[12:42] <EnsignRedshirt> andy753422: No clue.  I am using dapper.
[12:43] <Enselic``> electricenergy: if you google for it, there probably is a sample xorg.conf for your card. That's what I'd check out if I were in your position at lest
[12:43] <kevin110> Newb Question: What's the difference between XGL and AIXGL?
[12:43] <electricenergy> Enselic``: Yes, this one; http://www.ublug.org/ubuntu/twinview/twinview-howto-breezy.html
[12:43] <halkonst> Come on guys I need my internets. Please check the thread at http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=364916 and please tell me if you have any idea of how to fix it.

[12:44] <kevin110> Is AIXGL ATI?

[12:44] <electricenergy> Enselic``: actually, that guide is using the same card that I have
[12:44] <kevin110> Also, when I enter the gnome terminal and try to run sudo apt-get, it asks for a password. When I try to type it in, it doesn't recognize my keystroke.
[12:45] <Enselic``> electricenergy: sweet, then doublecheck it again to make sure you didnt accidentaly made a mistake
[12:45] <Enselic``> kevin110: it does, but it doesnt say it

[12:45] <Enselic``> kevin110: np :d
[12:46] <colbert> Can someone please help? I have installed Ubuntu 6.1, and upon boot it says "Error Loading Operating System." I installed it on a IDE slave drive, formatting it during install. I have Vista installed on a SATA which i normally boot to.
[12:46] <Proghead> royel do you know how I can acess it then (I'll search more if you don't, but live help is the best hehe)
[12:46] <electricenergy> Enselic``: the only differences are, I don't have the BusID under "Device" and I don't know if the horizontal refresh rate is correct. how would I find those out?
[12:47] <klick> Hey all, how can i tell my system to do sudo setkeycodes 6c 203 as soon as i boot up
[12:47] <Enselic``> electricenergy: BusID:   lshw
[12:47] <Enselic``> electricenergy: refreshrate should be either in the manual or at the back of the monitor
[12:47] <royel> Proghead: since it's ntfs, reading is easy, but if you need to write then you'll have to use ntfs-3g an it's still experimental
[12:47] <halkonst> colbert. what else can you do other than reinstall? try a different release maybe. 6.06 or 6.10
[12:47] <Enselic``> electricenergy: in the worst case you could call the manufacturer analogly
[12:48] <colbert> halkonst: So it is likely a version being incompatible for me?

[12:49] <oreth> how do I check the IP of my machine?
[12:49] <halkonst> colbert I don't know at all, I have never used 6.1. It just seems like if you can't even boot your OS, that particular install is beyond rescue
[12:49] <electricenergy> Enselic``: Thanks, I never thought of that. one more question. IF I go to change the resolution graphically, I have all the expected choices for resolution.... but only 75mhz for the refresh rate. Shouldn't I be able to select 60 atleast? whats going on there?

[12:50] <oreth> where's the printer wizard?
[12:50] <kevin110> It's still confusing to me. How do I know which is for my PC? (Referring to XGL vs. AIXGL)
[12:50] <_Thomas> Grub fails to find any devices (when making several md-devices, without lvm), and lilo doesn't find anything at all
[12:50] <cpk1> lies!

[12:51] <Proghead> royel it says that I should specify the kind of file (maybe my translation isn't exact hehe)
[12:51] <Enselic``> electricenergy: X probes the monitors for supported resolutions and refreshrates too iir
[12:51] <_Thomas> (I'm installing to sata)
[12:51] <_Thomas> Do the SATA-drives need to be on the motherboard?  (as part of the chipset)?
[12:52] <electricenergy> Enselic``: Well I know that both the monitors can support 60hz, so shouldn't that be there?
[12:52] <vmlemon> Does Ubuntu support SPARC?
[12:52] <`Matir> vmlemon, yes
[12:52] <royel> Proghead: my mistake, try: sudo mount /dev/hdb /mnt/ntfs -t ntfs -r
[12:52] <Enselic``> electricenergy: if the xorg.conf confs them for 60 Hz, then yeah. You can provide ModeLine:s manually if the monitors are evil

[01:13] <raygold> yeah i was thinking full disk encryption for that
[01:14] <EnsignRedshirt> oreth: It is probably not quite the same in dapper or edgy.  The standard answer is usually "use samba", but I don't think that is necessary.
[01:14] <bimberi> oreth: sorry, i haven't been tracking your issue, i just saw that question (where is gnome control)
[01:14] <raygold> does ubuntu support full disk encryption?
[01:14] <halkonst> Enselic:
[01:14] <Frogzoo> raygold: yes
[01:14] <Enselic``> halkonst: if you can, it means something is funnay with your DNS servers
[01:14] <UdontKnow> raygold: linux supports. then ubuntu does in a way or another, even if by hand
[01:14] <royel> Proghead: oh, might need something like this: mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt/ntfs
[01:14] <raygold> hm
[01:14] <smallears69> anyone know what to do with my problem
[01:15] <oreth> ensign: ok. samba. damn, i'm so confused
[01:15] <lgc> Does anyone know what do I have to install in order to be able to talk and listen through IM?
[01:15] <raygold> do i need to learn dos to do that?
[01:15] <UdontKnow> raygold: but you need to boot from something unencrypted :) maybe a partition, a cd or a pendrive?
[01:15] <Enselic``> smallears69: what does it say and when
[01:15] <oreth> I know samba is the filesharing for windows.
[01:15] <royel> Proghead: are there multiple partitions on this disk?
[01:15] <bimberi> oreth: sec, i'm checking the backscroll
[01:15] <halkonst> I'll vanish for a few to try it out. what is 130.239.8.25 anyway?
[01:15] <Enselic``> halkonst: www.sunet.se
[01:15] <Enselic``> halkonst: I gtg
[01:16] <mindstate> im in dying need of help, my gnome panels have disappeared i've no idea how to get them back..XFCE panels still work, but i cant see any panels on my gnome ..any ideas?
[01:16] <smallears69> dont remember but it says somthing like failed ot boot off cd rom ide device. this happens pretty much right away
[01:16] <Frogzoo> smallears69: you should try passing the option 'acpi=off' from the install - hit F6 - & edit the kernel line to add that
[01:16] <Enselic``> halkonst: if it fails, make sure you have valid/online DNS servers
[01:16] <oreth> i've got this open: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingFromWinXP
[01:16] <halkonst> thanks for your help
[01:16] <EnsignRedshirt> oreth: The main point of that page is to enable "browsing" in cups on the computer to which the printer is attached, and to configure the permissions so that other computers on your network can use it.
[01:16] <bimberi> oreth: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingFromWinXP
[01:16] <halkonst> my dns work in windows
[01:16] <halkonst> same servers
[01:16] <Frogzoo> mindstate: terminal -> run gnome-panel
[01:16] <bimberi> oreth: snap :)
[01:16] <oreth> but, in the instructions, it says to set port to 631, I don't have that line in there.
[01:16] <Enselic``> halkonst: I see. Well this sure appears to be weird
[01:16] <oreth> i don't know where to put it.
[01:17] <halkonst> you're telling me
[01:17] <Enselic``> halkonst: does sudo dhclient eth1/0 give you a new IP?
[01:17] <oreth> I don't know where to set the tcp port
[01:17] <mindstate> Frogzoo: Frogzoo ..i tried to install this crappy compiz + xgl script and it totally screwed things up.. i hope that works
[01:17] <Enselic``> halkonst: or is it manually?
[01:17] <Proghead> royel okay well, I had to connect on the root and it haven't write anything after the command, so maybe it worked, Ill check that, and there's only one partition
[01:17] <smallears69> the screen is black and then this message pops up failed boot off cd rom ide device when do i push f
[01:17] <EnsignRedshirt> oreth: The wiki tells you (roughly) where to put the line 'Port 631'
[01:17] <smallears69> opps f6
[01:17] <Enselic``> halkonst: If you get an IP through DHCP, that means it really should work
[01:17] <ScarT> Can i avoid being hacked by the fbi, if I use ubuntu?
[01:17] <bimberi> oreth: which file are you looking in?
[01:18] <oreth> right.. on line 420. I only have 77 lines in that file
[01:18] <royel> Proghead: cd /mnt/ntfs an see what it looks like
[01:18] <halkonst> the ip is defined manully. dhclient didn't do much
[01:18] <mindstate> Frogzoo: i cant even get to a Terminal to type that command, when i try from tty1 it tells me unable to open display
[01:18] <halkonst> I have a static ip from my ISP
[01:18] <oreth> bimb: /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
[01:18] <royel> Proghead: ls -l /mnt/ntfs
[01:18] <whonicca> how can i mount an iso file as a drive?
[01:18] <whonicca> is it possible?
[01:18] <Enselic``> halkonst: then you need to make sure the IP is correct, including the netmask
[01:18] <Frogzoo> smallears69: cold start - hit F6 when text appears
[01:18] <jrib> !iso | whonicca
[01:18] <ubotu> whonicca: 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
[01:18] <Dextorion> nighty
[01:18] <halkonst> they are. atleast in the /etc/network/interfaces
[01:18] <lgc> Anyone knows about messaging clients?
[01:18] <halkonst> and the graphical network settings
[01:18] <EnsignRedshirt> oreth: Was 'right.. on line...' in response to me?
[01:18] <svu__> Is there any trick to make nm-applet run without doing sudo in console?
[01:18] <bimberi> oreth: edgy? dapper?
[01:18] <ScarT> Can i save my cp securely on ubuntu?
[01:18] <Frogzoo> mindstate: DISPLAY=:0.0 gnome-panel
[01:18] <ScarT> Can i save my cp securely on ubuntu?
[01:19] <oreth> 6.10
[01:19] <oreth> which ever that one is :P
[01:19] <atomiku> I need a good alarm program for ubuntu, one that lets you have an MP3 as the alarm tone. Any suggestions?
[01:19] <jrib> ScarT: your "cp"?  what is that?
[01:19] <Frogzoo> ScarT: no spamming, plskthx
[01:19] <atomiku> cp = child porn
[01:19] <oreth> ensign: i believe so
[01:19] <royel> Proghead: you might have to do that as sudo
[01:19] <atomiku> ScarT: cp can be securely saved
[01:19] <oreth> atomiku = /b/tard? :P
[01:19] <ryan_> i just want to connect to my router, why is this so hard
[01:19] <Proghead> royel nice it worked, how do I open the stuff on it (like music)
[01:19] <rb007> ok.. the trick with beagle is to add a custom application launcher for beagle-search -- there was no item added to my menu when I installed it.
[01:19] <atomiku> oreth: ;)
[01:19] <atomiku> you?
[01:19] <oreth> \m/
[01:19] <mindstate> Frogzoo: your rock dude
[01:19] <atomiku> ill take that as a yes
[01:19] <mindstate> you*
[01:19] <oreth> only when my wife isn't around, haha
[01:19] <mindstate> lol
[01:19] <Frogzoo> mindstate: yw
[01:20] <Enselic``> halkonst: anyway, gtg, good luck
[01:20] <oreth> she hates /b/ and all that is associated with it
[01:20] <mindstate> Frogzoo: it gave me a dbus error though when i loaded it that way
[01:20] <atomiku> /b/ on ubuntu = win
[01:20] <halkonst> thanks
[01:20] <atomiku> cause its all smotoh
[01:20] <atomiku> all the fonts n crap, yo
[01:20] <atomiku> lol
[01:20] <atomiku> *smooth
[01:20] <EnsignRedshirt> oreth: OK. You are using the NetworkPrintingFromWinXP wiki page?
[01:20] <Gin> should I start gdm if I'm using xubuntu?
[01:20] <oreth> yeah
[01:20] <atomiku> I need a good alarm program for ubuntu, one that lets you have an MP3 as the alarm tone. Any suggestions?
[01:21] <atomiku> AND IT MUST NOT FAIL OTHERWISE I WILL FAIL
[01:21] <EnsignRedshirt> oreth: Always use a nick. It is too crowded in here not to.
[01:21] <EnsignRedshirt> oreth: You can type just Ensi and then hit tab.
[01:21] <lgc> Anyone knows about messaging clients?
[01:21] <oreth> EnsignRedshirt: yeah. I forgot about auto-complete
[01:21] <smallears69> Frogzoo: i hit f6 right at boot u. the installer does not even start
[01:22] <oreth> EnsignRedshirt: Any idea on my problem? :P
[01:22] <Frogzoo> smallears69: you don't even get to the install menu?
[01:22] <EnsignRedshirt> oreth: How much have to done so far?
[01:22] <Frogzoo> mindstate: something's sick - dunno, restart?
[01:22] <Talaman> hello, getting start-up screen error
[01:22] <oreth> i've edited the cupsd.conf, up to the point of setting the port
[01:22] <atomiku> Talaman: fix it
[01:22] <oreth> er..
[01:22] <oreth> EnsignRedshirt: I've edited the cupsd.conf but haven't set the port. Can't figure out where to
[01:22] <Talaman> that is why i am here
[01:22] <atomiku> No seriously, what error it is?
[01:23] <mindstate> Frogzoo: ill try that, also..do u know how i can edit the GDM login screen. ive got something in there called "foo" that i want to get rid of
[01:23] <Talaman> oi
[01:23] <Talaman> have to reboot to see it again
[01:23] <javadots> EnsignRedshirt: I've done a lot and I can't figure out how to get my laptop to boot reading the cd.
[01:23] <atomiku> okay
[01:23] <atomiku> good luck
[01:23] <oreth> EnsignRedshirt: I've only got 77 lines in the file.. not the 420 some odd it suggests I should
[01:23] <Talaman> shows up right before the login screen
[01:23] <atomiku> have a safe reboot
[01:23] <EnsignRedshirt> javadots: Sorry, I don't know anything about that. :(
[01:24] <javadots> :(
[01:24] <EnsignRedshirt> oreth: OK, hold on
[01:24] <javadots> i'm stuck in a window world
[01:24] <Talaman> i think it's my login settings...now i have to go find that
[01:24] <Proghead> royel nice it worked, how do I open the stuff on it (like music)
[01:24] <Frogzoo> mindstate: install a different login screen - or fiddle with the welcome message: sys -> admin -> login window
[01:24] <Talaman> where do i find the start screen settings?
[01:24] <atomiku> its probably the probability drive
[01:24] <mindstate> Frogzoo: ok
[01:24] <atomiku> check that out
[01:24] <atomiku> could be faulty
[01:25] <jrib> Talaman: system > administration > login window
[01:25] <oreth> Invert the polarity while you're at it
[01:25] <atomiku> yes
[01:25] <atomiku> and divide by zerio
[01:25] <atomiku> *zero
[01:25] <oreth> OH SHI-
[01:25] <royel> Proghead: open Nautilus an use the up arrow to browse to /mnt
[01:25] <ryan_> im trying to modify this file using the command "v -b rt61sta.dat" and its telling me about some swap file i need to delete, im lost
[01:25] <cchance> -_-Whats it called when i want to host windows account on my pc? Like they login through my pc their username and password are stored and so are their "profile" i know i use samba for this-_-
[01:25] <EnsignRedshirt> oreth: Do you have the file /etc/cups/cups.d/port.conf?
[01:25] <atomiku> and make sure you put candleja,, ..ck in your init.d
[01:25] <jrib> ryan_: 'v'?
[01:25] <atomiku> without the dots inbetween ja and ck
[01:25] <oreth> EnsignRedshirt: let me find o ut.
[01:25] <smallears69> frogzoo: nop
[01:25] <ryan_> no idea, thats what the doc is telling me
[01:26] <ryan_> vi
[01:26] <ryan_> sorry
[01:26] <Frogzoo> cchance: you mean domain controller I think
[01:26] <mau> hey guys, this is my first time on irc... yay me!  can somebody direct me to a hardware compatability list for Edgy?
[01:26] <oreth> EnsignRedshirt: Negative. It is an empty file
[01:26] <Talaman> brb
[01:26] <EnsignRedshirt> oreth: I am using dapper, and the wiki makes it sound like 6.06 and 6.10 are not quite the same.
[01:26] <Frogzoo> smallears69: burn the cd again, this time @ 1/2 speed
[01:26] <cchance> frogzoo, i think thats it. Is their a tutorial for this
[01:26] <atomiku> mau: Welcome to IRC, I should just let you know that IRC is serious business
[01:26] <devilsadvocate> !hardware
[01:26] <ubotu> For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[01:26] <EnsignRedshirt> oreth: But the file exists?
[01:26] <cyberjackal> has anyone had any problems with aterm in ubuntu edgy displaying quotes, hyphens, apostrophes as "garbage"
[01:26] <royel> Proghead: or from a command line: nautilus /mnt/ntfs
[01:26] <Skaag> hey guys, I need this package: libapache-mod-frontpage-mirfak   and I can see on the ubuntu packages site that it's part of multiverse, but i'm in edgy and I can't find it even though I have multiverse in my sources.list - any ideas?
[01:26] <jrib> ryan_: read what it says.  There is a .swp file there as a backup.  Do you have another instance of vi open editing the file?  Or maybe vi just didn't close properly last time.  Just take a look at the current file and the .swp and see which one you want to keep
[01:26] <mau> got it
[01:27] <oreth> EnsignRedshirt: let me check through the file browser
[01:27] <Frogzoo> cchance: the samba docs? samba.org
[01:27] <Skaag> (I only need it because of a dependency really)
[01:27] <mau> thank you
[01:27] <oreth> EnsignRedshirt: i simply did a pico on it
[01:27] <atomiku> pico > *
[01:27] <smallears69> Frogzoo i burned on cd-rw at 4* speed
[01:27] <devilsadvocate> Skaag, try apt-cache search libapach
[01:27] <oreth> EnsignRedshirt: negative. the file does not exist
[01:27] <ReKlipz> hey all, i've got a question about partitioning
[01:27] <ryan_> i dont know, im so confused :(
[01:27] <atomiku> ReKlipz: ask away
[01:27] <jrib> ryan_: join me in #ubuntu-classroom
[01:28] <Skaag> devilsadvocate: there are a bunch of them, but not this one
[01:28] <ReKlipz> i recently had the default partitions setup using xubuntu (#1 primary ext3 with $5 logical swap)
[01:28] <EnsignRedshirt> oreth: I see. Do the last two lines of cupsd.conf look like "Include /etc/cups/cupsd.d/*.conf", where * is either "ports" or "browse"?
[01:28] <atomiku> okay
[01:28] <ReKlipz> i kind of... dropped my laptop, and now it wont partition
[01:28] <ReKlipz> it always stops at 33%
[01:28] <devilsadvocate> Skaag, is it in multiverse for edgy as far as the webite sayd?
[01:28] <atomiku> right
[01:28] <atomiku> Youve probably broken your laptop
[01:28] <ReKlipz> is the hdd shot?
[01:28] <Skaag> devilsadvocate: checking...
[01:28] <atomiku> Tried a different partition program?
[01:28] <ReKlipz> any way i can do a diagnostic on it?
[01:28] <Proghead> royel thanks man, seems to work fine!
[01:28] <liquiddoom> Does anybody know if when using Duplicity, an environment variable for the SCP password can be set?
[01:28] <Skaag> devilsadvocate:
[01:28] <Skaag> no it's part of dapper
[01:29] <ReKlipz> atomiku, nope, didnt know there were any others
[01:29] <atomiku> ReKlipz: There must be some sort of disk checker software out there, I suggest google
[01:29] <whonicca> jrib, any idea how to unmount the iso?
[01:29] <ReKlipz> shud i try fdisk form DOS?
[01:29] <royel> Proghead: good :)
[01:29] <oreth> wait
[01:29] <liquiddoom> All I know of is FTP_PASSWORD, but I'm not using FTP.
[01:29] <jrib> whonicca: umount FOO
[01:29] <atomiku> I wouldnt trust fdisk, because its made my windoze or something I dont know
[01:29] <oreth> EnsignRedshirt: I think I found it
[01:29] <Proghead> royel if I want to write eventually am I better to wait for a better software?
[01:29] <Proghead> well ntfs3 I think
[01:29] <atomiku> Anyway, ReKlipz
[01:29] <sean__> can someone please help me make my apple key (command key) on my ibook work as a ctrl key?
[01:29] <whonicca> foo not found
[01:29] <devilsadvocate> Skaag, you _could_ contact the devs and see if it will be ported to edgy. otherwise you might be able to compile from sources
[01:29] <royel> Proghead: you can add a line to fstab so it auto mounts anytime you reboot too
[01:29] <atomiku> lemme see if ubotu knows anything
[01:30] <ReKlipz> ok
[01:30] <atomiku> !partition | ReKlipz
[01:30] <ubotu> ReKlipz: Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[01:30] <Proghead> royel oh! what is it?
[01:30] <Frogzoo> !ntfs-3g | Proghead it's still beta, which means you can still lose your data:
[01:30] <ubotu> Proghead it's still beta, which means you can still lose your data:: ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution. Installation instructions at http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710 (Dapper) and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009/ (Edgy)
[01:30] <atomiku> hmm
[01:30] <royel> Proghead: I know theres alot of people that use it now an it seems to be trouble free, I dont personally have any experience doing that though
[01:30] <oreth> EnsignRedshirt: It's at the begining of the cupsd.conf file
[01:30] <ReKlipz> not too much, lol
[01:30] <oreth> EnsignRedshirt: Just for further reference i'll send you what it should look like
[01:30] <atomiku> Hope that helps, as far as I know you'll be able to get gpartd working on xubuntu, its pretty good, try it out.
[01:30] <ReKlipz> but i cant load any OS
[01:31] <sean__> can someone help me change a key on my keyboard in ubuntu 6.10?
[01:31] <atomiku> try sudo apt-get install gparted
[01:31] <ReKlipz> atomiku, there is no OS on the hdd now...
[01:31] <atomiku> Ah.
[01:31] <ReKlipz> since i tried to partition it
[01:31] <atomiku> What os are you on now?
[01:31] <Skaag> devilsadvocate: is there a backports project for edgy?
[01:31] <devilsadvocate> Skaag, of course
[01:31] <Proghead> royel okay, well anyway that can wait
[01:31] <Frogzoo> !backports
[01:31] <ubotu> If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[01:31] <ReKlipz> atomiku, im on my desktop
[01:31] <Skaag> actually, I just noticed my ubuntu-server installation is dapper!
[01:31] <atomiku> Windows?
[01:31] <ReKlipz> atomiku, yes
[01:31] <atomiku> Okay
[01:32] <atomiku> Join me in #fucked-harddrive
[01:32] <Frogzoo> Skaag: dapper is LTS so perfectly ok for servers to run
[01:32] <Proghead> royel how I make the hd mount everytime I reboot?
[01:32] <atomiku> might take a few mins
[01:32] <Skaag> Frogzoo: LTS?
[01:32] <whonicca> is it possible to mount .bin image files?
[01:32] <Frogzoo> !lts
[01:32] <ubotu> LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.
[01:33] <Skaag> Frogzoo: ok, gotcha. that's good. but for some reason I am not finding a package that's supposed to be on dapper's multiverse channel.
[01:33] <Frogzoo> whonicca: 2 options - #1 convert to iso with mdf2iso, or #2 - compile/install cdemu
[01:33] <kristallpirat> where do I find the "Linux kernel (2.6.10-6-386) source directory"?
[01:33] <royel> Proghead: uhm, something like this in /etc/fstab, /dev/hdb1 /mnt/ntfs  ntfs ro 0 0
[01:33] <Frogzoo> Skaag: maybe you need to enable the multiverse repo
[01:33] <Skaag> it is enabled
[01:34] <Frogzoo> Skaag: then it's not in the repo
[01:34] <Skaag> does this look ok: deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-backports main restricted universe multiverse
[01:34] <whonicca> Frogzoo, thanks
[01:34] <devilsadvocate> kristallpirat, you need to get the sources.. i think its linux-headers
[01:34] <Skaag> but this page says it should be: http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/dapper/web/libapache-mod-frontpage-mirfak
[01:34] <Salz> hm, is there some recording of the cd release performane? ( http://p2pnet.net/story/11366 )
[01:34] <PwcrLinux> Hmm, I suspect my lappy video ram should be working, it's 32 MB of Vram.. how can check with video ram status?
[01:34] <ribo> how do I make apt not remove a conflicting package?
[01:34] <ribo> when installing another
[01:35] <Frogzoo> Skaag: if it's in the repos, you don't have the multiverse repo enabled
[01:35] <devilsadvocate> kristallpirat, once you get them via apt, they should be in /usr/src/linux, i think
[01:35] <Skaag> Frogzoo: I pasted you the deb line... you can see multiverse is clearly there... what else am I doing wrong?
[01:35] <PwcrLinux> Oh yea!, when the kernel installed, last time I saw doubling installation..
[01:35] <whonicca> Frogzoo, any idea how to unmount an iso file?
[01:35] <devilsadvocate> ribo, apt does the dependancy checking for a reason
[01:36] <EnsignRedshirt> Skaag: Did you update after changing the file?
[01:36] <Skaag> of course
[01:36] <EnsignRedshirt> Skaag: OK, just checking
[01:36] <Skaag> i'm downloading the deb now manually
[01:36] <Skaag> strange stuff
[01:36] <oreth> EnsignRedshirt: Haha. My XP machine has recognized
[01:37] <eric_> hey does anyone know an equivalent of this: http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/console/commandes_de_base     in english???
[01:37] <oreth> now I just hope it prints
[01:37] <EnsignRedshirt> oreth: Cool.
[01:37] <EnsignRedshirt> Skaag: What package? (Just curious.)
[01:37] <ribo> devilsadvocate: it is, however, incorrect. It claims exim conflicts with postfix, which it assuredly does not if set up properly
[01:37] <mindstate> i need some help. when i start up gnome.. my panels dont get loaded ..i can goto tty1 and load it with DISPLAY=:0.0 gnome-panel but i get a dbus error. anyone know how i can get my panels back to loading automatically?
[01:37] <Skaag> EnsignRedshirt: libapache-mod-frontpage-mirfak

[01:38] <jlamr> anyone know about why my wireless router occasionally cuts out - like when coming back from standby. Only comes back on restart/reboot
[01:39] <dreamerdude> Package manager is broke i think....When i click for updates on ubuntu it flicks on then off
[01:39] <EnsignRedshirt> Skaag: Why do you say it is the repos?  I have dapper universe, multiverse, and dapper-backports enabled, and I don't see that package.
[01:39] <dreamerdude> anyone know why?
[01:39] <EnsignRedshirt> Skaag: Wait, I lied.
[01:39] <dreamerdude> nevamind
[01:40] <eric_> does anyone know an equivalent of this: http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/console/commandes_de_base     in english???
[01:40] <royel> Wuilliam: according to that, theres no space left.. what are you installing?
[01:40] <EnsignRedshirt> Skaag: Yes, it is there, in multiverse.
[01:40] <kitche> !commands | eric_
[01:40] <ubotu> eric_: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[01:40] <eric_> thanks
[01:41] <Skaag> EnsignRedshirt: if you apt-cache search you find it??
[01:41] <Skaag> EnsignRedshirt: or are you referring to the website?
[01:41] <EnsignRedshirt> Skaag: I found it in Synaptic, and in packages.ubuntu.com
[01:41] <Skaag> yes I find it in pacakges
[01:42] <Skaag> in packages.ubuntu.com
[01:42] <Skaag> but I don't use synaptic, this is a server without GUI
[01:42] <Skaag> EnsignRedshirt: which server do you use?
[01:42] <Skaag> us.archive.ubuntu.org?
[01:43] <henriw156> Could someone help me?
[01:43] <Skaag> just ask
[01:43] <EnsignRedshirt> Skaag: us.archive.ubuntu.com
[01:43] <dreamerdude> Ok how do i stop package manager wanting to reinstall something? i get this error when running updates or apt-get: E: The package nerolinux needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[01:43] <dreamerdude> E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report.
[01:43] <Skaag> EnsignRedshirt: like me... weird man.
[01:43] <self> I need a command-line way to take a file (in any format, but at least ogg, wav, mp3and wma) and covert the file to MP3 VBR, WMA and OGG.  Basically 1->3 conversion.  I'm fine if this will need multiple commands in a bash script, but I'm not sure where to even start :S
[01:43] <atomiku> i need a good alarm program for ubuntu, one that lets you have an MP3 as the alarm tone. Any suggestions?
[01:44] <henriw156> Skaag: on my other pc i have ubuntu and when i install something or use something that uses the administrative application it crashes
[01:44] <EnsignRedshirt> Skaag: I just did: sudo apt-get install -s libapache-mod-frontpage-mirfak
[01:44] <jrib> atomiku: you could just create a cron job
[01:44] <jrib> !cron | atomiku
[01:44] <ubotu> atomiku: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto  -  There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm
[01:44] <mindstate> i need some help. when i start up gnome.. my panels dont get loaded ..i can goto tty1 and load it with DISPLAY=:0.0 gnome-panel but i get a dbus error. anyone know how i can get my panels back to loading automatically?
[01:44] <kristallpirat> devilsadvocate Error: Kernel source code is incomplete - drivers/md/dm.h not found. < any hint?
[01:44] <EnsignRedshirt> Skaag: and apt-get appears to have found the package.
[01:44] <atomiku> jrib: nah
[01:44] <dreamerdude> Anyone?
[01:44] <Skaag> EnsignRedshirt: what does the -s do?
[01:45] <sivik> anyone here use Teamspeak?
[01:45] <mau> if I don't see my video card listed here:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsAti  -  Does that mean it's not compatible?  Is that list definitive?
[01:45] <Skaag> ah, simulation
[01:45] <EnsignRedshirt> Skaag: "simulate" ... it doesn't actually make any changes, but it tells you what it *would* do.
[01:45] <Skaag> sivik: I use TeamSpeak
[01:45] <henriw156> uh anyone?
[01:45] <EnsignRedshirt> Skaag: I don't have apache installed.
[01:45] <sivik> Skaag, i'm having problems with it accepting my mic
[01:46] <Skaag> sivik: is it some USB mic?
[01:46] <efrancolaporte> hey i need help i installed xcompmgr and it works but when i click logout my system freezes unless I reset the xserver with CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE
[01:46] <sivik> Skaag, no, its plugged in to the mic/headphone port on the front of my computer
[01:46] <Skaag> sivik: even then should work - make sure you are using the correct engine, and look it up in the ubuntu frums
[01:46] <Skaag> forums
[01:46] <sivik> Skagg: it was working, and now its not
[01:46] <henriw156> Skaag: on my other pc i have ubuntu and when i install something or use something that uses the administrative application it crashes
[01:46] <Skaag> sivik: make sure no other app is using the mic, as well
[01:46] <sivik> Skaag, i don't think it is, and how would i tell, the only thing i have open right now is xchat and konsole
[01:47] <dreamerdude> Ok how do i stop package manager wanting to reinstall something? i get this error when running updates or apt-get: E: The package nerolinux needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report
[01:47] <Skaag> henriw156: gotcha the first time. I have no idea what the problem is without a closer inspection because your description is a bit vague.
[01:47] <digitalhav0c> Skaag, what game do you play?
[01:47] <digitalhav0c> css?
[01:47] <efrancolaporte> hey i need help i installed xcompmgr and it works but when i click logout my system freezes unless I reset the xserver with CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE
[01:47] <henriw156> so what do i need to explain better
[01:47] <efrancolaporte> its not that the window doesnt appear, my mouse freezes too
[01:48] <Skaag> digitalhav0c: just SecondLife, i'm building something for SecondLife with TeamSpeak server/client
[01:48] <digitalhav0c> oh ok
[01:48] <digitalhav0c> cool
[01:48] <Skaag> sivik: sounds like it should work, did you try another application like Audacity?
[01:49] <henriw156> Skaag: if you want i could upload my log files to my FTP/web site?
[01:49] <efrancolaporte> hey i need help i installed xcompmgr and it works but when i click logout my system freezes unless I reset the xserver with CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE
[01:49] <efrancolaporte> its not that the window doesnt appear, my mouse freezes too
[01:49] <Skaag> henriw156: what kind of crash is it?
[01:49] <Qzr> I get a GRUB Error 22, anyone know what that means?
[01:49] <henriw156> well i go to network and it starts loading then it stops and the app closes
[01:50] <Skaag> henriw156: so it closes without any errors?
[01:50] <henriw156> yup no errors
[01:50] <Qzr> and could anyone tell me how on earth i get rid of GRUB?
[01:50] <Skaag> Qzr: you want to keep it, it is the best option...
[01:50] <henriw156> i could upload screenys
[01:50] <Skaag> Qzr: why do you want to remove it??
[01:51] <Skaag> henriw156: i'm thinking what could cause this
[01:51] <andre> hello everyone, anyone know when blender 2.43 is to be included in ubuntu?
[01:51] <henriw156> ok
[01:51] <sivik> Skagg: yeah, i though it would, but it doesn't seem to be working
[01:51] <Skaag> henriw156: supposed to run a program gksudo to ask you for your password...
[01:51] <efrancolaporte> hey i need help i installed xcompmgr and it works but when i click logout my system freezes unless I reset the xserver with CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE
[01:51] <efrancolaporte> its not that the window doesnt appear, my mouse freezes too
[01:51] <Skaag> henriw156: so my guess is there is some problem with gksudo
[01:51] <sivik> Skagg: is there a way to do a test or setup to make sure the mic is working correctly?
[01:51] <Skaag> sivik: so audacity does not work as well?
[01:51] <henriw156> Skaag: so what do i do???
[01:51] <sivik> Skagg: i haven't tried with audacity, i don't have it installed
[01:52] <Qzr> Because I'm trying to install windows again, but when I run my recoverydisk the GRUB just lock up giving errors, and it wont let me boot from any other cds than the ubuntu and the recoverydisk. Ive tried a gentoo cd and a winxp cd.
[01:52] <Frogzoo> Qzr: check /boot/grub/menu.lst - option kopt & groot
[01:52] <Skaag> henriw156: try to reinstall gksudo
[01:52] <Qzr> Sofar ive gotten error 17 and just now when i tried to delete all partitions i got error 22
[01:52] <henriw156> Skaag: and how do i do that (I installed ubuntu yesterday so im a newbie at it)?
[01:52] <sivik> Skagg: There was an error initializing the audio i/o layer.  You will not be able to play or record audio
[01:52] <sivik> Skagg: Error: Host error
[01:52] <Skaag> sivik: I suggest you install SOME app that uses the mic, before you conclude what the problem is...

[01:53] <ubotu> efrancolaporte: 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
[01:53] <efrancolaporte> people pey attention to meeeeeee
[01:53] <whonicca> ive man'ed losetup and umount to no avail
[01:53] <Skaag> henriw156: I find it hard to believe that you installed a standard brand new ubuntu, and you are already experiencing such issues...
[01:53] <efrancolaporte> lol
[01:53] <royel> whonicca: sudo umount /home/julio/Desktop
[01:53] <jrib> efrancolaporte: that gets you the *wrong* kind of attention
[01:53] <Skaag> henriw156: is it ubuntu edgy, latest version?
[01:54] <henriw156> Skaag: but i know what the terminal is and stuff
[01:54] <henriw156> Skaag: no its 6.06
[01:54] <kitche> !xmms2 | Orfeous
[01:54] <Skaag> henriw156: hey, I never said you need the terminal...!
[01:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xmms2 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:54] <whonicca> royel, umount: /home/julio/Desktop: not mounted
[01:54] <kitche> Orfeous: probably have to build it
[01:54] <henriw156> Skaag: Its dapper drake i think
[01:54] <Skaag> henriw156: any chance of you downloading and installing 6.10 instead? (latest)
[01:54] <jrib> whonicca: by FOO I meant /dev/whateveryoumountedbefore
[01:54] <henriw156> i dunno
[01:54] <henriw156> how do i do that
[01:54] <Skaag> henriw156: I strongly suggest that :)
[01:54] <Orfeous> kitche, i found a site that told me that debian packages was working.
[01:54] <Skaag> henriw156: what is an operating system you know very well?
[01:55] <andre> anyone know when blender 2.43 is to be included in ubuntu?
[01:55] <whonicca> jrib, what did u say the command was again, so i can try it
[01:55] <EnsignRedshirt> Skaag: Why would you advise him to install 6.10?
[01:55] <Orfeous> kitche, http://wiki.xmms2.xmms.se/index.php/Download_XMMS2
[01:55] <henriw156> Skaag: Becoause if i need to use the update program im out of luck :(
[01:55] <sivik> henriw156, have you had any problems running a ubuntu live cd?
[01:55] <henriw156> yes
[01:55] <Skaag> EnsignRedshirt: because it looks like his current install is buggered, and if he's going to reinstall anyway, why not 6.10 :)
[01:55] <royel> whonicca: sudo mount
[01:55] <Orfeous> there are some ubuntu-packages there also but not my version name
[01:55] <Orfeous> edgy

[01:55] <sivik> henriw156, just do it from command, sudo aptitude (apt-get) upgrade
[01:55] <royel> whonicca: send me the output to pastebin
[01:55] <henriw156> ok
[01:55] <jrib> whonicca: wait, why did you mount to Desktop?  Don't you have files in there?
[01:55] <sivik> henriw156, and see if that works
[01:55] <henriw156> *tries*
[01:56] <sivik> henriw156, use either CLI or konsole or terminal or something like that
[01:56] <Skaag> henriw156: he means: sudo aptitude upgrade
[01:56] <halkonst> I have a very strange problem with my internet connection. Anyone wanna help?

[01:59] <henriw156> wait
[01:59] <sivik> halkonst, enter in the information that you need to get your eth0 to work correctly
[01:59] <sivik> efrancolaporte, quit repeating yourself
[01:59] <whonicca> royel, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6652/
[01:59] <tibore> can i have a question regarding beryl?
[02:00] <AngryElf> I just added a SCSI card and a tape drive to a 6.10 box.  IT locks up immediately after "booting the kernel" with the message: "rejecting I/O to offline device" then: "wide transfers fail" -- this doesn't happen if the tape drive is powered off....any ideas?
[02:00] <whonicca> royel, for some reason it isnt showing anymore, but the folders are still on my desktop
[02:00] <efrancolaporte> i cant find help in the forums
[02:00] <halkonst> sivik: Yes, it's there. It's been there all the time. The correct information the way it is in my ISP papers and that work under windows
[02:00] <sivik> hum, not sure
[02:00] <sivik> so you enter your dns correctly?
[02:00] <sivik> sometimes if you have mulitple dns's it screwed up
[02:01] <halkonst> sivik: yes, my DNS servers are also correct
[02:01] <tibore> can anybody help me with beryl? I couldnt find the answer on forums...
[02:01] <jrib> whonicca: what happens if you try:  sudo umount /home/julio/Desktop/CRANK.iso
[02:01] <sivik> halkonst, not sure
[02:01] <whonicca> well i cant get into the folders neither, say they might have been deleted, but the iso file isnt there, i think my desktop isnt refreshing automatically
[02:01] <whonicca> jrib, its been unmounted
[02:01] <halkonst> And I don't think this is a DNS problem (yet). I can't even ping my gateway
[02:01] <whonicca> thanks guys

[02:01] <tibore> ty

[02:02] <ferret_0567> Is "usplash" completely optional in Xubuntu 6.10?
[02:02] <ferret_0567> I believe it's not {X, K}Ubuntu specific
[02:03] <royel> whonicca: in the future, it's a good idea to create a new directory to mount anything to, you might want to reboot just to be sure things are how they should, anytime you want to unmount something use: umount an the loc you mounted to
[02:03] <henriw156> ok its http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6654
[02:03] <whonicca> royel, thanks for the information
[02:04] <halkonst> sivik: what are you not sure about?
[02:04] <whonicca> royel, does your desktop automatically refresh when u delete a folder on it via command line
[02:04] <jrib> henriw156: ok, have you set a root password by any chance?
[02:04] <henriw156> yes

[02:04] <henriw156> oh dang i forgot today i set my host name to :
[02:04] <royel> whonicca: thats why I suggested you reboot

[02:04] <atomiku> i need a good alarm program for ubuntu, one that lets you have an MP3 as the alarm tone. Any suggestions?
[02:04] <henriw156> should i set it back to Henri-Laptop??
[02:04] <sivik> halkonst, why your having problems
[02:04] <atomiku> cause i really need to get to sleep

[02:05] <atomiku> its 1.05am
[02:05] <royel> whonicca: you should never mount something thats actually being used like that
[02:05] <atomiku> and i need to set this alarm

[02:06] <jrib> henriw156: yes, but you'll need to boot into recovery mode if you don't have a root password.  You need to have a hostname in /etc/hostname and also have that name correspond to 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts (just add it to the end of the line that starts with 127.0.0.1).  recovery mode is an option at the grub prompt.  Use nano as your text editor
[02:06] <atomiku> crap
[02:06] <whonicca> royel, yeah i wasnt thinking i would see the iso file mounted as a disk drive on my desktop

[02:07] <atomiku> like
[02:07] <sivik> halkonst, k
[02:07] <jrib> atomiku: :)  have you read those intro docs about cron?
[02:07] <sivik> i wish i could figure out what is going on with alsa
[02:07] <atomiku> i really dont have time
[02:07] <atomiku> i need to get to sleep soon
[02:08] <henriw156> jrib: it says i don`t have the right permissions
[02:08] <sivik> have you read the man for xmms
[02:08] <jrib> henriw156: you aren't in recovery mode
[02:08] <atomiku> look
[02:08] <atomiku> i dont have time
[02:08] <henriw156> no
[02:08] <jrib> henriw156: right, you need to be for exactly that reason
[02:08] <sivik> atomiku, no one is going to help you if you haven't tried something first
[02:08] <henriw156> ok wait

[02:09] <jrib> atomiku: getting an app to open in X is a little more involved.  Will you settle for 'mpg321 foo.mp3'?
[02:09] <henriw156> *turning pc on*
[02:10] <sivik> Skaag, could vmplayer running in the back ground case it?
[02:10] <atomiku> xmms -p mp3.mp3 <-- thats how its done

[02:10] <atomiku> I just need to know how to do the cronjob
[02:10] <Skaag> sivik: yes of course

[02:10] <snel> thanks
[02:11] <jrib> atomiku: the wiki page takes 2 minutes to read
[02:11] <atomiku> jrib: You answer me this: Do you know how
[02:11] <atomiku> yes or no
[02:11] <sivik> Skaag, it still says something is using the audio drivers, how do i tell what program that is
[02:11] <atomiku> simple question
[02:11] <jrib> atomiku: why does that matter?
[02:11] <henriw156> jrib: ok im at the login menu what do i do now?
[02:11] <atomiku> or do I have to read your wiki that tells me whether or not you know
[02:11] <oreth> I'm back, dammit
[02:11] <Frogzoo> atomiku: this isn't the spanish inquisition
[02:11] <jrib> atomiku: I'll answer anything that isn't clear on the wiki...

[02:13] <Frogzoo> atomiku: man 5 crontab
[02:13] <atomiku> ...
[02:13] <jrib> henriw156: hmm, you shouldn't be at a login, you should just have a prompt that ends in a #
[02:13] <sivik> Skaag: how do i tell which one is using alsa?
[02:13] <jrib> atomiku: seriously, I'm trying to help you by giving you that wiki page.  All I would be doing to explain cron to you is typing out taht page
[02:13] <henriw156> no i rebooted the pc what do i do????
[02:13] <atomiku> not making any sence
[02:13] <atomiku> most of it is blurry
[02:14] <jrib> henriw156: did you choose the "recovery mode" option at the grub menu?
[02:14] <atomiku> and before you ask how im reading irc, im squiting
[02:14] <henriw156> ok
[02:14] <Skaag> sivik: grep it
[02:14] <atomiku> *squinting
[02:14] <henriw156> reboots again
[02:14] <atomiku> the wiki is makin no sense
[02:14] <sivik> Skaag: grep audio or alsa?
[02:14] <atomiku> nor is the man page

[02:19] <brent> no its XP
[02:19] <fglrx> brent: He could probably just use the packages from the liveCD.
[02:19] <ferret_0567> Woot! Removing usplash fixed it!

[02:22] <brent> nice thank you royel
[02:23] <WildCard> I tried downloading ubuntu onto my other pc, but i cant get any farther than where it puts me after i install it, i DUN HAVE A DESKTOP
[02:23] <WildCard> >_<
[02:23] <sivik> Skaag, does that explain anything
[02:23] <Skaag> sivik: checking

[02:23] <atomiku> ooops, wine crashed
[02:23] <Skaag> sivik: ok you have firefox using your audio as well, probably a flash
[02:23] <WildCard> somebody help pls, its really confusing and frustrating
[02:24] <Skaag> sivik: but you are using artsd & also ESD
[02:24] <elias_> could anyone tell me how to deactivate grub or delete grub?
[02:24] <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?
[02:24] <sivik> Skaag: what does that mean, that i'm running artsd & ESD
[02:24] <Frogzoo> WildCard: did the install complete?
[02:24] <Skaag> sivik: i'm at a loss here, but I know artsd creates a new device for standard apps to use
[02:24] <WildCard> ya
[02:24] <atomiku> So, why isnt this working? The time now is 1.24am and i set this at 1.23am, it failed to run xmms: 24 1 * * * atomiku xmms -p /home/atomiku/mystuff/alarm.mp3
[02:24] <Skaag> sivik: what this means is that you should point your teamspeak to that new device created by arts
[02:24] <WildCard> it puts me in the shell or something
[02:24] <Frogzoo> WildCard: what make/model machine?
[02:24] <jrib> atomiku: because $DISPLAY is not set
[02:24] <atomiku> Ah...
[02:24] <Skaag> sivik: it should then behave like a good boy and work, through artsd
[02:25] <nanotube> jrib: thank you
[02:25] <sivik> Skaag: i have figure out what artsd does

[02:25] <WildCard> I think its ibm
[02:25] <atomiku> How would I go about setting $DISPLY? Doesnt seem to say anything about it on the page that im reading
[02:25] <nanotube> Frogzoo: thank you
[02:25] <Frogzoo> WildCard: run "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[02:25] <jrib> atomiku: also, you should use crontab -e instead of /etc/crontab
[02:25] <atomiku> I'm using crontab -e :)

[02:26] <valuedcustomer> gnome-terminal won't launch.  i'm using ubuntu-edgy.  i get 'Starting Terminal' for a couple of seconds and then nothing.
[02:26] <jrib> atomiku: then you shouldn't have your user on that line
[02:26] <atomiku> root?
[02:26] <jrib> atomiku: no, that field doesn't exist
[02:26] <atomiku> Oh.
[02:26] <atomiku> http://www.linuxhelp.net/guides/cron/ <-- all im told
[02:26] <georgy> atomiku : you can just use the command play : play your.mp3
[02:26] <WildCard> it said: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure must run as root
[02:26] <atomiku> georgy: the xmms command works fine
[02:27] <atomiku> plus it would try and play it in some other player which doesnt work
[02:27] <henriw156> jrib: sorry im back
[02:27] <georgy> atomiku : ok
[02:27] <WildCard> so, it didnt reallu do anything...
[02:27] <henriw156> jrib: what was the name of those two files again?
[02:27] <Frogzoo> WildCard: run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[02:27] <jrib> henriw156: /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts
[02:28] <atomiku> So..
[02:28] <Skaag> sivik: so you understand now what to do?
[02:28] <atomiku> any ideas?
[02:28] <oreth> I hear there is an Expose style function for Ubuntu?
[02:28] <sivik> Skaag: no
[02:28] <jrib> atomiku: about?
[02:28] <Skaag> sivik: basically, arts allows many apps to use the same audio device
[02:28] <Skaag> sivik: at the same time
[02:28] <atomiku> setting up this crontab. I now have: 28 1 * * * xmms -p /home/atomiku/mystuff/alarm.mp3
[02:28] <henriw156> jrib: it dosent work
[02:28] <WildCard> xserver-sorg isnt installed
[02:28] <atomiku> still doesnt work
[02:28] <sean__> an i ask a really simple terminal question?
[02:28] <jrib> henriw156: what do your files look like now?
[02:28] <Skaag> sivik: so it covers the physical device, and then creates a new virtual device that is not exclusive and can be used by many apps in parallel
[02:28] <jrib> atomiku: have you set $DISPLAY?
[02:28] <atomiku> I havent a clue how
[02:29] <sivik> Skaag: ok, then how do i know what it creates so i can tell TS about it
[02:29] <atomiku> it says nothing about it on this page
[02:29] <cafuego_> atomiku: No, cron doesn't set env vars that are needed for X.
[02:29] <Skaag> sivik: so you can for example run several audio players and you will hear all of them playing at once
[02:29] <atomiku> huh
[02:29] <sean__> how do i add lines in the terminal?
[02:29] <jrib> atomiku: I'd suggest just using mpg321 to play your mp3.  Using X apps is more involved
[02:29] <cafuego_> atomiku: If you sue a commandline mp3 player and not xmms, it'd be fine.
[02:29] <sean__> after i type "vim .Xmodmap"
[02:29] <Skaag> sivik: you need to read the docs because I don't remember by heart..
[02:29] <WildCard> Frogzoo: i typed it in, and it said xserver-xorg isnt installed
[02:29] <Mukunda> Does anyone know where I can find a fool-proof guide on installing lamp and wordpress on Ubuntu?
[02:29] <sivik> Skaag: grand
[02:29] <sivik> Skaag: i'm not good at understanding what i read
[02:29] <Skaag> sivik: but once you know you can go to teamspeak settings and set a different audio device /dev/something
[02:29] <atomiku> okay
[02:29] <Skaag> sivik: sorry about that man..
[02:29] <atomiku> all im saying is: when I run the xmms command in terminal, it all seems to work fine
[02:29] <sean__> how do I add lines to a file are I typed "vim .Xmodmap" please help
[02:29] <Skaag> 3:30am here and I need to go to sleep
[02:30] <atomiku> im not suggesting that it should work when in the crontab, but i havent got a clue really
[02:30] <sean__> after i typed
[02:30] <jrib> oreth: skippy is one.  Also, beryl has it built-in
[02:30] <sivik> Skaag: its alright
[02:30] <cafuego_> atomiku: Yes, because $DISPLAY is set, because the terminal runs from within X.
[02:30] <Skaag> anyone else here uses ARTSD and can tell what virtual device it creates?
[02:30] <atomiku> okay
[02:30] <atomiku> so
[02:30] <WildCard> 0.o
[02:30] <henriw156> jrib: it just wont find them i type nano /ect/hostname and i save it and it says file not found
[02:30] <atomiku> lemme try mpg321 then
[02:30] <linux_kid> I'm having trouble using Airodump to get a .cap file for a Wireless Network, any Help..?
[02:30] <sean__> can someone please help me?
[02:30] <sean__> real quick?
[02:30] <atomiku> atomiku@atomiku-linux:~$ mpg321
[02:30] <atomiku> bash: mpg321: command not found
[02:30] <jrib> henriw156: "etc" NOT "ect"
[02:30] <henriw156> ok
[02:30] <atomiku> atomiku@atomiku-linux:~$ mpg321
[02:30] <atomiku> bash: mpg321: command not found
[02:30] <atomiku> ooops
[02:30] <ReKlipz>  atomiku: sudo apt-get instlal mpg321
[02:30] <jrib> atomiku: install it
[02:31] <atomiku> yeah sorry about that second paste
[02:31] <WildCard> -_-"
[02:31] <ReKlipz> err sudo apt-get install mpg321
[02:31] <atomiku> hit the wrong key... x_x
[02:31] <sean__> jrib, are you there? can i ask you a question?
[02:31] <atomiku> thanks, im installing it now
[02:31] <kitche> Skaag: artsd doesn't create a virtual device
[02:31] <jrib> sean__: sure, you can ask the whole room and I'll listen too
[02:31] <kitche> Skaag: if your talking baout the kde sound daemon
[02:31] <sean__> I created a file, and I need to add 2 lines to it
[02:31] <Skaag> kitche: it gives apps non-exclusive, mixed access to the audio device
[02:31] <sean__> I typed "vim .Xmodmap"
[02:31] <atomiku> Can it do MP3?
[02:31] <sean__> and need to add the lines now
[02:31] <sean__> in the terminal
[02:31] <sean__> how do I do that?
[02:32] <sean__> Im a newbie, sorry
[02:32] <sivik> Skaag: how do i tell what /dev my audacity is using
[02:32] <jrib> sean__: why are you using vi?
[02:32] <Frogzoo> WildCard: did you do the desktop or server instal ?
[02:32] <Skaag> kitche: arts releases the audio device if no app uses it for X seconds right?
[02:32] <elias_> could anyone tell me how to deactivate grub or delete grub? I need it to not load so i can use my recovery disk
[02:32] <Skaag> sivik: I have another idea
[02:32] <sean__> jrib- what should i be using?
[02:32] <Skaag> sivik: arts has this wrapper
[02:32] <Skaag> sivik: arts-wrapper or something
[02:32] <henriw156> jrib: ok the first one worked now on the file hosts what do i do?
[02:32] <ReKlipz> elias_, change the setting in BIOS, so CD/DVD is before HDD
[02:32] <WildCard> Frogzoo: The Desktop install
[02:32] <kitche> Skaag: artsd holds onto the audio
[02:32] <sivik> Skaag: then i'm going to have to figure that out
[02:32] <Skaag> sivik: run teamspeak client inside this wrapper: arts-wrapper teamspeak
[02:32] <andre> anyone know when blender 2.43 is to be included in ubuntu?
[02:32] <sivik> is it installed?
[02:32] <jrib> sean__: if you want an easy terminal editor for beginners use nano.  Or just use gedit if you want a nice gui editor.  If you really want to learn how to use vi, then run 'vimtutor'
[02:32] <Skaag> sivik: yes if you have arts it should be there
[02:33] <kitche> sivik: it's for kde not for gnome gnome uses esd
[02:33] <Skaag> sivik: it runs that application, and for that instance, it knows how to emulate the sound device with the virtual device
[02:33] <jrib> henriw156: add your hostname to the end of the line that begins with "127.0.0.1"
[02:33] <Frogzoo> WildCard: pls paste that error msg
[02:33] <Skaag> kitche: for some reason he has both
[02:33] <elias_> ReKlipz, ive done that. The problem is that after i run the recovery disk, grub loades with a error 17 (after ive used the recoverydisk)
[02:33] <Skaag> maybe that's his problem
[02:33] <Frogzoo> WildCard: oh, my bad, you can't of course
[02:33] <sivik> kitche, i understand that, but i have both kde and gnome installed and i don't use either
[02:33] <Skaag> sivik: how come you have both arts and esd?
[02:33] <WildCard> Frogzoo: K, but im on a different pc, lol
[02:33] <Skaag> I see
[02:33] <Skaag> what a mess
[02:33] <henriw156> jrib: confirming that line says 127.0.0.1 localhost
[02:33] <sivik> Skaag, probably cause i have gnome and kde installed, but i don't use either of them
[02:34] <WildCard> Frogzoo: I could retype it or something...
[02:34] <Frogzoo> WildCard: if you did the desktop install, xserver-xorg is there - likely your typo
[02:34] <Skaag> at least disable arts completely
[02:34] <Skaag> do /etc/init.d/artsd stop
[02:34] <WildCard> hmm
[02:34] <jrib> henriw156: yep, so if your hostname is "henri", change it to:  127.0.0.1 localhost henri
[02:34] <Frogzoo> WildCard: run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[02:34] <henriw156> jrib: so the result is 127.0.0.1 localhost Henri-Laptop
[02:34] <jrib> henriw156: right
[02:34] <henriw156> ok
[02:34] <sivik> Skaag, sudo: /etc/init.d/artsd: command not found
[02:34] <henriw156> wait
[02:34] <Vilhelms> Whenever I switch a theme on the theme manager it doesn't do anything.
[02:35] <henriw156> jrib: how do i exit
[02:35] <Frogzoo> Vilhelms: under beryl? reload window decorator
[02:35] <atomiku> nevermind
[02:35] <WildCard> Frogzoo: No error, it said it wasnt installed
[02:35] <jrib> henriw156: ctrl-o to save, ctrl-x to exit.  The commands are listed at the bottom
[02:35] <atomiku> im just gonna go to sleep
[02:35] <atomiku> night guys
[02:35] <sivik> good
[02:35] <henriw156> no i saved it but i mean to go to ubuntu
[02:35] <Skaag> sivik: try arts instead of artsd
[02:35] <jrib> henriw156: oh, just reboot
[02:35] <henriw156> im back at the #
[02:35] <Vilhelms> Frogzoo, Alright
[02:35] <henriw156> ok
[02:35] <Wrongway> anyone know how to make audio work for .mov files? I've got 6.06 and have tried a few .mov's on 3 different players
[02:36] <jrib> henriw156: shutdown -r now
[02:36] <henriw156> *booting*
[02:36] <sivik> Skaag, according to the ls, there isn't anything called arts or artsd in the /etc/init.d folder
[02:36] <WildCard> "Package 'xserver-xorg' is not installed and no info is available"  O.o
[02:36] <Frogzoo> !codecs | Wrongway install the codecs, mentioned in the 'restricted' link
[02:36] <ubotu> Wrongway install the codecs, mentioned in the 'restricted' link: 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
[02:36] <henriw156> jrib: its loading slower than ever is this normal??
[02:36] <Frogzoo> WildCard: which distro is this?
[02:36] <P4ndaman> does anyone know if it is possible to install 6.10 edgy for a dual boot system (windows with ubuntu)?
[02:36] <jrib> henriw156: I guess not
[02:37] <henriw156> (forget it)
[02:37] <P4ndaman> the alternative one
[02:37] <Skaag> sivik: so how was it started, that's strange
[02:37] <Frogzoo> P4ndaman: eminently doable
[02:37] <sivik> Skaag, i have no clue how it was started
[02:37] <liquiddoom> P4ndaman: Of course/
[02:37] <oreth> I can't get this printer sharing thing running
[02:37] <Skaag> sivik: you may have some app that searches for it and activates it. some KDE app.
[02:37] <WildCard> Frogzoo: 6.06
[02:37] <henriw156> jrib: its on the login screen lets see if it worked
[02:37] <P4ndaman> with the alternative cd
[02:37] <P4ndaman> ?
[02:37] <Skaag> sivik: maybe some KDE audio app
[02:37] <sivik> Skaag, i don't have a KDE audio app open
[02:37] <liquiddoom> P4ndaman: It is, I've done it before
[02:37] <P4ndaman> ok
[02:37] <renay> why cant i find libtoolize in synaptic?
[02:37] <Skaag> donno what goes on your system man
[02:37] <Chetwin> Does java6 work with frostwire now?
[02:37] <Skaag> sounds like a bit of a mess to me :)
[02:38] <sivik> Skaag: i'm going to do a kill on artsd
[02:38] <tracy> to create a file, in the terminal, is that 'gedit'?
[02:38] <sivik> or one could use touch
[02:38] <oreth> Anyone know why I would beable to CONNECT to the printer from windows, but not print?
[02:38] <P4ndaman> is there anything special one must do to install dual boot with the alternative disk?
[02:38] <oreth> i recieve a "Insufficient Memory" error on the PC side
[02:38] <WildCard> brb
[02:38] <henriw156> jrib: looks like it worked caouse it asked for password when i went to network
[02:38] <jrib> henriw156: great
[02:39] <liquiddoom> P4ndaman: If I remember right, all you have to do is tell grub to add the Windows images to its menu
[02:39] <henriw156> jrib: thanks for your help
[02:39] <WildCard> back
[02:39] <jrib> henriw156: yw
[02:39] <P4ndaman> ok thanks
[02:39] <Skaag> sivik: good luck
[02:39] <liquiddoom> P4ndaman: And of course, give Ubuntu two partitions
[02:39] <WildCard> Frogzoo: And yes, its Ubuntu :)
[02:39] <Vilhelms> Frogzoo, It works for default gnome themes but none of the gtk themes work
[02:39] <P4ndaman> yeah i have three
[02:39] <SaveFerris> hey guys, is it possible at all to use a live cd to fix a problem in my installed xubuntu?
[02:39] <P4ndaman> one for sharign between the oses
[02:39] <jrib> SaveFerris: what problem?
[02:39] <henriw156> jrib: it worked thanks :) (sorry if i annyed you becoause i didn`t know anything but its that i installed it yesterday)
[02:39] <SaveFerris> like, say downloading a video driver
[02:40] <liquiddoom> P4ndaman: One for swap, actually
[02:40] <henriw156> jrib: bye
[02:40] <P4ndaman> ok
[02:40] <eric__2004> what's the channel for PPC ubuntu?
[02:40] <SaveFerris> jrib: i've spent all day trying to get it to work from the recovery terminal
[02:40] <henriw156> jrib: good night!!
[02:40] <Frogzoo> Vilhelms: install the relevant gtk2-engines-***
[02:40] <P4ndaman> how much should i allocate for swap
[02:40] <phrowzen> hey
[02:40] <jrib> henriw156: no need to apologize, that's why I'm here.  good night
[02:40] <georgy> !ppc
[02:40] <ubotu> ppc is PowerPC.  Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers, and now a fully supported Ubuntu architecture.
[02:40] <sivik> P4ndaman, twice your ram
[02:40] <liquiddoom> P4ndaman: Around 512-1GB
[02:40] <jrib> SaveFerris: but what is the actual issue
[02:40] <P4ndaman> oh so 4gb cause i have 2gb
[02:40] <eric__2004> what's the name of the channel for PPC ubunut?
[02:40] <phrowzen> im trying to access my network shares on my ubuntu comp from my girlfriends pc.. its asking for a l/p. i provide the l/p i use to log in on my ubuntu box, but its not working.. hmm, anyone know what l/p it might expect?
[02:41] <Frogzoo> P4ndaman: if you want to suspend, 1.5x ram
[02:41] <kekko_> does somebody knows how to create a folder from variable with lftp?
[02:41] <kekko_> something like mkdir $1
[02:41] <P4ndaman> sorry, im kinda knew to linux, what does suspend mean?
[02:42] <Frogzoo> WildCard: dpkg -l xserver-xorg
[02:42] <WildCard> k
[02:42] <phrowzen> anyone?
[02:42] <bimberi> phrowzen: samba shares?
[02:42] <SaveFerris> jrib: Last night I did a massive upgrade in synaptic, because I'm retarded, and it upgraded my linux kernel, but I didn't update my nvidia kernel and for some really strange reason I can't get apt-get install nvidia-xgl to work, and yes, I've added the universe repositories.
[02:42] <Frogzoo> phrowzen: if you're using samba, you need to set a samba passwd with smbpasswd
[02:42] <phrowzen> bimberi, i believe so. i goto system->administrator->sharing to choose my shared network folders. the other pc sees the shares, but l/p is refused
[02:42] <bimberi> phrowzen: you need to set up a samba password: 'sudo smbpaswd -a <yourusername>'
[02:42] <phrowzen> Frogzoo, ok, thanks
[02:43] <phrowzen> thx
[02:43] <jrib> SaveFerris: can you boot the old kernel?
[02:43] <WildCard> Frogzoo: "dpkg unknown option -1"
[02:43] <P4ndaman> Frogzoo: what do you mean by suspend?
[02:43] <bimberi> phrowzen: oops typo: smbpasswd
[02:43] <Frogzoo> WildCard: l as in lion, not 1 as in one
[02:43] <d4rk_hun7er> /j #brasil
[02:43] <WildCard> ooooo
[02:43] <d4rk_hun7er> lol
[02:43] <WildCard> lol
[02:43] <SaveFerris> jrib: it still says Xserver fails and won't load even on the old kernel
[02:43] <d4rk_hun7er> sorry
[02:44] <SaveFerris> jrib: I'm about to just reinstall the whole bleeping thing
[02:44] <elias_> could anyone tell me how to deactivate grub or delete it?
[02:44] <WildCard> Frogzoo: "No packages found matching xserver-xorg" -_-"
[02:44] <^phillip> Is there a users channel that is not a help channel?
[02:44] <jrib> SaveFerris: hmm, you have linux-restriced-modules-$(uname -r)?  To answer your question, you can mount the partition and chroot to it using the livecd, but it won't be much different than having a terminal without X now
[02:44] <kitche> ^phillip: #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:44] <P4ndaman> oh so suspend means hibernate ok ok
[02:45] <^phillip> thanks
[02:45] <Frogzoo> WildCard: at this point, I can only suggest reinstall - maybe d/l edgy
[02:45] <renay> anyone know why I can't get libtoolize from Synaptic?
[02:45] <WildCard> =/
[02:45] <P4ndaman> I would just like to thank everyone for helping a case like me :)
[02:45] <Frogzoo> P4ndaman: suspend means hibernate only if you're sloppy in  your terminology, my bad
[02:45] <P4ndaman> ok
[02:45] <P4ndaman> i just googled it
[02:45] <SaveFerris> jrib: But what I was thinking was if i can just download the driver with the live cd and do whatever it is you just said to save the driver, then i could just install the driver from the recovery terminal
[02:46] <jrib> renay: how are you trying to get it?  It should be in the "libtool" package
[02:46] <jrib> !libtool | renay
[02:46] <ubotu> renay: libtool: Generic library support script. In component main, is optional. Version 1.5.22-4 (edgy), package size 320 kB, installed size 928 kB
[02:46] <SaveFerris> jrib: whent i do startx in the terminal it says that there is simply no nvidia module
[02:46] <renay> excellent
[02:46] <renay> sorry to be stupid
[02:46] <WildCard> ty frogzoo
[02:46] <oreth> oh god
[02:46] <oreth> why
[02:46] <Frogzoo> WildCard: yw
[02:46] <SaveFerris> (btw #nvidia is quite unhelpful)
[02:47] <Vilhelms> For some reason none of my keyboard shortcuts in gnome are working :(
[02:47] <WildCard> umm
[02:47] <jrib> SaveFerris: but you already have a terminal without using the livecd right?
[02:48] <jrib> Frogzoo: btw, if you recall I couldn't get internet access the other day... turns out I just needed to turn off my modem and turn it back on.  It seems to remember mac addresses and I had just plugged it into my modem...
[02:49] <Talaman> "the greeting application appears to be crashing" is the error i get
[02:50] <Frogzoo> jrib: zomg, the pain
[02:50] <jrib> s/modem/laptop if you want that to make sense :)
[02:51] <Owner> On my other computer, I can't boot any operating system. After I start up the computer, there's is an error 22 from GRUB.
[02:51] <SaveFerris> jrib: I can get to the terminal in both kernel (recovery) versions
[02:51] <atlanta800> I just installed the mozilla-mplayer plugin, and audio works, however embedded audio doesn't repeat like it shoud (like in ytmnd's) how do I get it to repeat?
[02:52] <SaveFerris> jrib: but just a blank, non-responsive prompt after the normal kernel boots and shuts down X
[02:52] <jrib> SaveFerris: oh, even at ctrl-alt-f1?
[02:53] <elias_> again, could anyone tell me how to deactivate grub or delete it?
[02:54] <hdxx> does anyne try gnome 2.18 beta?
[02:54] <atlanta800> elias_, install a different bootloader, if you want to revert to revert to windows bootloader, run the setup disk and tell it you want to repair and then enter "fixboot"
[02:54] <andre> anyone know when blender 2.43 is to be included in ubuntu?
[02:54] <ablyss> Owner: grub-install /dev/hda0 << where /dev/hda0 is the first disk .  Wil reinstall grub
[02:55] <WildCard> k, its installing the base system right now...
[02:55] <oreth> Ok: got my printer installed. It's shared with cups, but the XP machine freaks out EVERYTIME it tries to connect
[02:55] <oreth> what's going on?
[02:56] <Talaman> "the greeting application appears to be crashing" is the error i get. also i get $ sudo gdmsetup
[02:56] <Talaman>   Failed to connect to socket, sleep 1 second and retry
[02:56] <Talaman>   Trying failed command again.  Try 2 of 5.

[02:56] <Talaman>   Command failed 5 times, aborting.
[02:56] <elias_> My problem is that when I run my recovery disk, everything goes fine. Until it tells me to take out the cd's and reboot. Then GRUB loads, even though the recovery disk erase all partitions, and give me the "GRUB Error 17"
[02:56] <Talaman> Could not access GDM configuration file.
[02:56] <bimberi> andre: it might make feisty, currently 2.42a.  I don't think feisty is at version freeze yet

[03:13] <nickreynolds> hi all
[03:13] <oreth> can anyone suggest a good Coding interface?
[03:13] <jrib> oreth: a text editor
[03:13] <nickreynolds> lol
[03:13] <Nando_k> oreth: emacs
[03:13] <foxiness> kitche, no i want it on the mbr ooops , i think this my mistake
[03:13] <nickreynolds> a text editor
[03:14] <Frogzoo> oreth: emacs
[03:14] <kitche> sgtmattbaker: ##c++
[03:14] <IronCitadel> D4rkly - I think if you change your fstab options to mount "default" that will solve your problem.
[03:14] <kitche> foxiness: setup (hd0) puts it on mbr
[03:14] <nickreynolds> codes are simply symbols which can be manipulated through text editors

[03:16] <nickreynolds> oreth: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_Graphics_Driver_.28NVIDIA.29

[03:28] <sam1> my usb ports and net connection are not working properly.. and I am on a ubuntu livecd ..
[03:29] <kondor21> Do you guys think it is good policy to use the last distro rather than the current, ie to make sure bugs are well gone?

[03:30] <felixhummel> I want to make a bash-script (let's call it win-killa.sh), so a bash script would be nice, which prints something like (/dev/hda1 /dev/sdb3 ...). Any advice?

[04:07] <knoppi1> LabThug: unnknow command
[04:07] <Miaowara> P4ndaman, one sec
[04:07] <Pelo> P4ndaman,  menu > system> admin > connection windows or something
[04:07] <P4ndaman> ok no problemo
[04:07] <knoppi1> LabThug: i'm in KDE
[04:07] <LabThug> knoppi1: http://www.computerhope.com/unix/ufg.htm
[04:07] <electricenergy> I might just need to buy another LCD :p
[04:08] <P4ndaman> Pelo: the reason I do not want to boot with splash because I cant boot with it :-)
[04:08] <P4ndaman> or i think that is the reason
[04:08] <Miaowara> could be ;)
[04:08] <P4ndaman> could be my video card
[04:09] <Pelo> P4ndaman,  are you talking about the splash screen, the login screen or grub ?
[04:09] <knoppi1> LabThug:  hmm it didn't work
[04:09] <P4ndaman> the splash screen - the one with the loading bar
[04:09] <P4ndaman> it freezes at 98% always
[04:09] <Miaowara> P4ndaman, you hilight the entry you wanna boot and press "e"
[04:09] <Miaowara> then it'll open up a new screen with all the options
[04:10] <P4ndaman> yeah i got to that before
[04:10] <wastrel> "ubunto"
[04:10] <Miaowara> k, then you select the line with "splash" and press "e" again
[04:10] <paitken> How do I stop and restart services?
[04:10] <Pelo> P4ndaman,  menu > system > prefs > splash,  unthick at the bottom
[04:10] <Miaowara> and delete the quiet and splash
[04:10] <paitken> I'm using to them being in /etc/rc.d/ but this is different
[04:10] <P4ndaman> there is no line
[04:10] <P4ndaman> with splash
[04:10] <LabThug> knoppi1: can you be a little more specific, what didn't work (and how have you come to the conclusion that it isn't working)?
[04:10] <Pelo> paitken,  terminal  xkill name
[04:10] <Miaowara> oh really?
[04:10] <P4ndaman> yes
[04:10] <P4ndaman> i think i accidentally deleted it or something
[04:11] <Miaowara> I am of no help then, sorry :(
[04:11] <paitken> Pelo: There isn't a /etc/rc.d/httpd restart ?
[04:11] <P4ndaman> oh
[04:11] <knoppi1> LabThug: how i say that it give error
[04:11] <talaman> hello
[04:11] <knoppi1> LabThug: with what you say it don't work.
[04:11] <Pelo> paitken,  that was my best help, I'm fairly new at this myself
[04:11] <knoppi1> when i write ps -al
[04:11] <knoppi1> i give me that dpkg is working.
[04:12] <kitche> paitken: sudo /etc/init.d/<service> there is a tool to help you with it but I m use to this way
[04:12] <LabThug> and does it give you a PID next to the dpkg?
[04:12] <knoppi1> 0 T     0  5400  5387  0  82   0 -   467 finish ttyp2    00:00:00 dpkg-deb
[04:12] <slipttees> ola
[04:12] <knoppi1> it give
[04:12] <knoppi1> LabThug: but when i write kill it again is there.
[04:12] <paitken> kitche: I just found it in google =)
[04:13] <talaman> is there a file to edit the gdm login?
[04:13] <doojin> hi
[04:13] <doojin> My grub is somewhat weird and makes error
[04:13] <Pelo> doojin,  #grub
[04:13] <doojin> so I typed fixmbr
[04:14] <doojin> Again I have no access to linux
[04:14] <Frogzoo> !grub | doojin
[04:14] <ubotu> doojin: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[04:14] <cor1> Any one tell me how to get GAIM 2.0 beta 6
[04:14] <doojin> ubotu : I installed ubuntu after windows
[04:15] <LabThug> knoppi1: you ran sudo to start the apt-get job.  Only root has permission to kill that job.  If you run the kill command as yourself, it's not going to do anything
[04:15] <cor1> ubotu is a bot
[04:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about is a bot - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:15] <kitche> doojin: but you did fixmbr which installs the windows mbr back on
[04:15] <Pelo> cor1,  have you tried their site ?
[04:15] <doojin> kitche : I had no choice
[04:15] <cor1> who's sight
[04:15] <doojin> I needed to ask people why
[04:15] <Pelo> cor1,  the gaim one
[04:15] <electricenergy> ubotu, how do I switch my monitors around in twinview?
[04:15] <electricenergy> damn
[04:15] <cor1> GAIM yes i cant under stand the direction i due them but it dont install
[04:16] <talaman> brb, i am trying to re-install gdm
[04:16] <cor1> do*
[04:16] <Pelo> cor1, http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/
[04:16] <P4ndaman> so I guess I will post my problem again, so whoever logged in recently can take a poke at it.
[04:16] <P4ndaman> I am unable to load Ubuntu linux 6.10 edgy for the first time... I was successful in installing it in text mode from the alternative CD, but when I load it in non-recovery mode, the ubuntu loading bar freezes around 98% and it looks kinda messed up (a green line comes up underneath the bar, the ubuntu graphic looks kinda different).  I have an ATI radeon x850xt card, so i think that it cannot boot since this requires special drivers.  If 
[04:17] <cor1> can i dl the tar.gz then use package manager to install it:?
[04:17] <n0cturnal_> can anyone fix my issue? .. Transaction Check Error:   file /usr/share/man/man1/msql2mysql.1.gz from install of mysql-server-5.0.27-1.fc6 conflicts with file from package MySQL-client-5.0.22-0
[04:17] <Pelo> cor1,  yes
[04:17] <cor1> k thank you alot
[04:17] <n0cturnal_> hrmm wrong chan too..
[04:18] <cor1> have any of you used the server edition
[04:18] <Pelo> !ati | P4ndaman
[04:18] <ubotu> P4ndaman: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:18] <elyon225> How do I go about compiling something as a "shared resource"?
[04:18] <elyon225> "shared object," rather.
[04:18] <cor1> just use the archive manager
[04:18] <cor1> and make it a tar.gz?
[04:19] <cor1> !archive
[04:19] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about archive - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:19] <Pelo> cor1,  read this  http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/
[04:19] <cor1> pelo i am thanks
[04:19] <Miaowara> hmmm... ipw2100: eth0: failed to start card
[04:19] <cor1> pelo are you italian
[04:19] <Pelo> cor1,  no
[04:20] <cor1> pelo o cause you name sorda sounds italian
[04:20] <wastrel> it means "hair" in spanish
[04:20] <cor1> ya i know i was just asking
[04:20] <cor1> sry if i affended you
[04:20] <Pelo> wastrel,  you don'T say, wow, I never knew, that ,  you are the first person ever to mention it
[04:21] <dimeotane> I'm curious if anyone has tried fedora, and can say how it compares to ubuntu?
[04:21] <Pelo> cor1,  I wasn't Offended,  but this is off topic a bit
[04:21] <Miaowara> ubuntu=better
[04:21] <wastrel> you have a bad memory because this is the second time i've mentioned it.
[04:21] <dimeotane> I didn't realize fedora uses gnome
[04:22] <dimeotane> Miaowara: what feature of ubuntu kicks fedoras butt for you?
[04:22] <Miaowara> ease of installation/use (generally)
[04:22] <Miaowara> customizability
[04:22] <Miaowara> there's actaully a decent forum
[04:23] <Miaowara> or at least nice people on them ;)
[04:23] <bkudria> i am trying to run a precompiled, old version of gcc (for a project, not under my control).  I've extracted the archive given to mee, and it contains 'gcc', a binary file with the executable bit set.  in the directory with the executable, i try to run it with './gcc', but i get the error './gcc: no such file or directory' - what could be wrong?  the executable bit/permission *is* set.
[04:23] <cor1> i downloaded the gaim 2.0 beta 6 tar.gz file can i use packeage manager to install
[04:23] <dimeotane> That settles it.. I'm still using the best OS in the world... I love ubuntu
[04:24] <cor1> dimeorane that is true
[04:24] <SaveFerr1s> FATAL: Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.17-11-generic/volatile/nvidia.ko': No such file or directory
[04:24] <SaveFerr1s> any ideas?
[04:24] <dimeotane> it has always suprised me how ubuntu seems to have come out of obscurity to being the #1 distro in a short amount of time... debian, susie, fedora, mandrake... they all had such popularity and were widely known
[04:25] <dimeotane> for a long time too
[04:25] <tritium> dimeotane: ubuntu's roots in debian helped with that
[04:25] <Pelo> dimeotane,  ease of installation has a lot to do with it
[04:25] <SaveFerr1s> ubuntu > pie
[04:25] <gavintlgold> any newish users looking for help?
[04:25] <cor1> dimeotane dont forget its 100% virus free
[04:26] <Pelo> cor1,  that's because all the virus makers are linux users gunning for M$
[04:26] <cor1> gav: how can i install gaim 2.0beta 6 from a tar.gz file with package manager
[04:27] <cor1> Pelo thats true
[04:27] <tritium> No, that's not likely to be true
[04:27] <gavintlgold> who here agrees that ubuntu feisty should have come with beryl "out of the box" ?
[04:27] <cor1> thats because microsoft user are *sigh* stupid
[04:27] <Pelo> cor1,  you cannot install a tar.gz file with the package manager,  go back to the site and look for a .deb file  that would be easiet
[04:27] <zeembo> hi all, i wanted to try using empkernel instead of the default one, can someone help me
[04:27] <cor1> dont forget microsoft is secure by obscurity
[04:27] <gavintlgold> corl, i agree with pelo
[04:27] <zeembo> do i have to run menuconfig on the kernel?
[04:28] <numa> gavintlgold:  you imply beryl = stable? and compatible with lots of hardware?  errr, ok.
[04:28] <dimeotane> cor1... how can I ever forget... my wife will tell you... I'm still in awe 1 year later... virus free, no need to defrag... and a whole lot less EULAs
[04:28] <tritium> cor1: FYI, feisty has 2.0 beta 6
[04:28] <cor1> sav: they dont have .deb's only tar.gz or rpm
[04:28] <zcat[1] > beryl. Stable. ROFL...
[04:28] <HymnToLife> zeembo, that's for compiling a new kernel - if that's what you wand to do
[04:28] <gavintlgold> numa: well, i guess not really out of the box, more like "check this for cool effects--not quite stable but cool"
[04:28] <HymnToLife> but you might wand to run xconfig instead, which has a GUI
[04:28] <zeembo> yeah, i'd like to compile a new one, HymnToLife
[04:28] <TheDebugger> cor1: I think you can use "alien" to convert an rpm to a .deb
[04:29] <SaveFerris> jrib > you
[04:29] <Pelo> cor1,  uncompress the tar.gz file to your desktop,  open the folder and look for a readme file and for an install file and follow the instructions
[04:29] <cor1> how i install alien
[04:29] <zeembo> HymnToLife, so i would run xconfig on the kernel i downloaded?
[04:29] <zcat[1] > it's definately getting better, but it's not what I'd call stable yet.
[04:29] <cor1> sudo apt-get install alein?
[04:29] <HymnToLife> zeembo, then cd /usr/src/linux and make menuconfig (text) or make xconfig (gui)
[04:29] <tritium> yes, cor1
[04:29] <gavintlgold> alien corl
[04:29] <dimeotane> !aptitude
[04:29] <ubotu> aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT, like apt-get. However, aptitude can remember the dependencies installed with a package and remove them if you uninstall. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide
[04:29] <numa> gavintlgold:  and beryl doesn't exactly work well on my voodoo3-2000 pci grfx card.
[04:29] <zeembo> so i should extract the kernel first?
[04:29] <ReAspired> how can I give permisson to another user to probe video0
[04:29] <HymnToLife> zeembo, yep
[04:30] <ReAspired> right now root owns it
[04:30] <zeembo> and then run xconfig?
[04:30] <Krunk> Hi. Just installed ubuntu and added kde at 1600x1200 resolution. Turned computer off after adding a few things. Once re-started, displays only 680x400 and I can't change the res to stay at 1600x1200. ATI Radeon 700 card with Sun Plug'NPlay 22" monitor. Any suggestions how to fix this?
[04:30] <zeembo> ok, sounds good
[04:30] <elias_> Does anyone know where i can download "fixmbr.exe" ?
[04:30] <HymnToLife> zeembo, copy your tarball to /usr/src
[04:30] <gavintlgold> numa: they should have some way to detect if your card is could enough, then tell you though, huh?
[04:30] <HymnToLife> and extract it with tar xjvf filename.tar.bz2
[04:30] <gavintlgold> cause it's really cool
[04:30] <dimeotane> I thought that apt-get knows dependencies
[04:30] <zeembo> ooooo ok, i havea  .deb file
[04:30] <HymnToLife> zeembo, the DEB file wil give you a tarball
[04:30] <HymnToLife> than you'll need to extract it ;)
[04:31] <dimeotane> krunk... you gotta edit your xorg.conf
[04:31] <numa> gavintlgold:  and remember, some cards can only use beryl with the assistance of non-OSS drivers, which ubuntu is anathema to
[04:31] <HymnToLife> zeembo, you have the linux-source from the repos, right ?
[04:31] <zeembo> linux-source?
[04:31] <cor1> brb my puppy's eating my shoes
[04:31] <gavintlgold> numa: well, i guess a lot of people will be told about the easy way to install it through add-remove programs...
[04:31] <HymnToLife> zeembo, what is the DEB you have ?
[04:32] <Krunk> dimeotane: thanks forgot about that
[04:32] <zeembo> HymnToLife, from the emperorlinux site they have the kernels
[04:32] <gavintlgold> numa: i heard it was really easy to install beryl/nvidia non-oss drivers
[04:32] <zeembo> in 3 formats for download
[04:32] <gavintlgold> in feisty
[04:32] <HymnToLife> zeembo, hmm, which kernel is it that you want to build ?
[04:32] <ryan_> i put in this command: sudo vi -b rt61sta.dat. im trying to edit this data file but im having trouble with it
[04:32] <zeembo> http://downloads.emperorlinux.com/support/kernel/2.6/distro-updates/
[04:32] <cor1> i installed alien now i cant find were it installed to so i can run it
[04:33] <dimeotane> krunk: it's easy to forget... my last install was over a year ago...
[04:33] <tritium> zeembo: why?
[04:33] <gavintlgold> well, we'll see how it goes... GO UBUNTU... GO LINUX.... we can beat MS!
[04:33] <Wimpog> guys, I have ubuntu server. I would like to be able to see characters of other languages in bash, in particular russian, does anybody know how to install additional languages?
[04:33] <gavintlgold> bye guys
[04:33] <zeembo> oopps sorry HymnToLife , http://downloads.emperorlinux.com/support/kernel/2.6/
[04:33] <dimeotane> I good reminder is to install ubuntu on every spare system you find laying around =)
[04:33] <panclock> Any time I go to a website, my firefox just exits, any idea what the problem could be?
[04:33] <doojin> hi
[04:33] <doojin> The recoveringgrubafterwindows didn't work
[04:34] <zeembo> theres rpm, deb, and tgz
[04:34] <doojin> I booted from livecd
[04:34] <cor1> i installed alein were does it install to so i can run it
[04:34] <doojin> and there is no correct /boot/grub in livecd
[04:34] <HymnToLife> zeembo, you didn't answer my question, which kernel version do you want to build ?
[04:34] <doojin> HymnToLife : do you know how to recover grub?
[04:34] <tritium> cor1: type "which alien" to find out
[04:34] <HymnToLife> doojin, yes
[04:34] <zeembo> empkernel26-2.6.18.1.emp3_coreduo.i686.deb
[04:34] <HymnToLife> !grub
[04:34] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[04:34] <Pelo> lq534 rolkw
[04:34] <HymnToLife> second link
[04:34] <Pelo> I mean later folks
[04:34] <tritium> cor1: it should be in your path, anyway.
[04:35] <Miaowara> i don't understand how ping can work but firefox won't
[04:35] <HymnToLife> zeembo, why do you want to build that particular one ?
[04:35] <doojin> Miaowara : maybe DNS server is screwed
[04:35] <cor1> i typed that in nothing came up
[04:35] <Miaowara> anyone have any ideas how I could trouble shoot this, no firewall problems either, dns is working as well
[04:35] <cor1> nvm
[04:36] <jrib> Miaowara: what does firefox do?
[04:36] <Miaowara> both windows and my older kernel connect find
[04:36] <Miaowara> it just sits on "connecting to google.com"
[04:36] <tritium> cor1: again, remember that 2.0 beta 6 is in feisty
[04:36] <Miaowara> same as wget
[04:36] <cor1> i need to run it and its not in with the installed programns
[04:36] <jrib> Miaowara: try disabling ipv6?
[04:36] <zeembo> i can build any actually, i'm just wondering if its better then the default ubuntu one
[04:36] <cor1> yes i kno
[04:36] <stephans> does anyone konow why kickstart installs do not work in ubuntu??
[04:36] <zeembo> then the legacy kernel
[04:36] <Miaowara> jrib, in firefox? I've done that
[04:36] <stephans> know
[04:36] <HymnToLife> zeembo, yes, but it needs an experienced user to configure it correctly
[04:36] <jrib> !ipv6 | Miaowara
[04:36] <ubotu> Miaowara: To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4
[04:37] <HymnToLife> nice way to learn though
[04:37] <cor1> !alien
[04:37] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[04:37] <HymnToLife> zeembo, forget that and do   sudo apt-get install linux-source
[04:37] <stephans> We do realize that installing via cd is only for enthusiasts right?
[04:37] <tritium> stephans: this is not redhat
[04:37] <HymnToLife> that will give you the kernel with ubuntu patches
[04:37] <cor1> WOOO acording to ubotu alien is dangerous
[04:37] <Miaowara> thanks jrib y ubotu
[04:37] <stephans> tritium: there is a kisrart configurator for ubuntu
[04:37] <zeembo> oo ok, i'll try that
[04:38] <stephans> poorly documented but it is there
[04:38] <HymnToLife> cor1, it is not if you know what you're doing ;)
[04:38] <SaveFerris> jrib: would it be ok if i saved our convo and posted it in that thread to see if it helps anyone else? would you object to that?
[04:38] <stephans> any how... an automatic network methid is needed.
[04:38] <stephans> method
[04:38] <ryan_> i used this command sudo vi -b rt61sta.dat, having trouble modifying this file
[04:38] <shortgu1> can someone help me connect to my wireless network?
[04:38] <zeembo> HymnToLife, sudo apt-get install linux-source will install what?
[04:38] <HymnToLife> zeembo, it will give you a tarballl in /usr/src that contains the kernel source
[04:38] <tritium> !wireless > shortgu1
[04:38] <jrib> SaveFerris: nope, that's fine
[04:39] <HymnToLife> you'll then need to extract it
[04:39] <stephans> the wisi seems to indicate that I should use kickstart.
[04:39] <stephans> but
[04:39] <stephans> it bombs on trying to download the cdrom-core modules...
[04:39] <stephans> why
[04:39] <stephans> ?
[04:39] <stephans> both for dapper and edgy
[04:39] <stephans> it is broken
[04:39] <tritium> !enter
[04:39] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[04:40] <wastrel> !kickstart
[04:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kickstart - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:40] <cor1> now i have alien installed how i use it
[04:40] <wastrel> man alien
[04:41] <Miaowara> ah yes, a bot, so I thought ;)
[04:41] <stephans> wastrel: there is little documentation on how to install ubuntu automatically.
[04:41] <PiNE> is it possible to make gnome to do that OSX thing where the [file edit etc]  are in a panel?  i know kde can emulate this.
[04:41] <stephans> wastel: hard sell to schools or businesses
[04:41] <wastrel> edubuntu
[04:41] <wastrel> PiNE:  not afaik
[04:42] <Wimpog> GUYS, anybody knows how to install another language set, so I can see it in terminal?
[04:42] <Miaowara> jrib, no luck. Anyother suggestions?
[04:42] <HymnToLife> Wimpog, sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
[04:42] <PiNE> wastrel, well, that's okay the kde one never integrated all that well anyhow.
[04:42] <jrib> Miaowara: nope, not really sure what is happening there
[04:42] <Wimpog> HymnToLife: what does it do?
[04:42] <vegasmcpc> i need help mounting a raid array
[04:42] <vegasmcpc> i have one partition on it
[04:43] <HymnToLife> Wimpog, will show you a list of all locales and let you xhoose which one(s) you want to install ?
[04:43] <Miaowara> jrib, k, me neither :(
[04:43] <Wimpog> HymnToLife: it has only english, I would like to be able to see other characters, in particular russian
[04:44] <HymnToLife> Wimpog, it should have everything
[04:45] <HymnToLife> at least here it has all the supported languages, which include Russian
[04:45] <Wimpog> HymnToLife: this is the output of the command you gave me:
[04:45] <Wimpog> Generating locales...
[04:45] <Wimpog>   en_US.UTF-8... up-to-date
[04:45] <Wimpog> Generation complete.
[04:45] <HymnToLife> doesn't it show you a list before that ?

[04:47] <lol> Ok, I am installing Ubuntu 6.10 on a mac powerbook g4 ... and .. I need help.. I can't seem to make the bootstrap partition
[04:47] <lol> (Yes ... lol)
[04:48] <lol> Any help?
[04:48] <zcat[1] > hmmm.. I only ever played with one Mac and Ubuntu.. oldworld beige g3 .. no idea how new macs work
[04:49] <Chadarius> !macintosh
[04:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about macintosh - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:49] <zcat[1] > I could never get ubuntu>5,10 to boot on it either...
[04:49] <zcat[1] > !ppc
[04:49] <ubotu> ppc is PowerPC.  Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers, and now a fully supported Ubuntu architecture.
[04:49] <Chadarius> lol: I'm pretty sure there is a howto on this. Have you been looking through it?
[04:49] <lol> Yes...
[04:50] <mindstate> ive seem to have broken gnome.. when i gnome starts my panels dont load up with it..i have to load my panels by running DISPLAY=:0.0 gnome-panel to get them to load..any ideas on how to fix this?
[04:50] <lol> no
[04:50] <tun2> devilsadvocate are you there?
[04:50] <zcat[1] > mindstate: once they're running, alt-F2  and type gnome-session-save
[04:51] <panclock> Any time I go to a website, my firefox just exits, any idea what the problem could be?
[04:51] <zcat[1] > panclock: any specific website, or just any website?
[04:51] <mindstate> zcat[1] : gnome-session-save gives me an error
[04:51] <panclock> Well, it's mainly a specific one, but others do the same thing too.
[04:51] <tripppy> when changing keyboard shortcuts keys, i can't set Super_L to Alt+Esc, it comes up as Super+Super_L, what am i doing wrong?
[04:51] <panclock> Every now and then.
[04:51] <panclock> I tried reinstalling firefox, no dice.
[04:51] <mindstate> zcat[1] : could not connect to session manager
[04:52] <Chadarius> lol: I wish I could be of more help, but I've never installed on a PPC Mac before. I'd probably be more confusing for you :)
[04:52] <zcat[1] > mindstate: oh. That's bad :(
[04:52] <zcat[1] > mindstate: obvious things to start with; have you run out of diskspace?
[04:52] <lol> Ok, well could anyone find that guide to making a Apple_bootstrap partition?
[04:53] <mindstate> zcat[1] : no ive got 13gb left
[04:53] <Chadarius> lol: something like this? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot?highlight=%28macin%29
[04:53] <zcat[1] > mindstate: there's a file ~/.xsession-errors I think, which might contain clues?
[04:53] <applenux> eheh
[04:53] <lol> lol
[04:54] <wastrel> what's super_l
[04:54] <applenux> Chadarius: try it
[04:54] <zcat[1] > super == windows key?
[04:55] <tripppy> zcat[1] , yes
[04:55] <ryan_> i've edited a data file in vi, how do i save it?
[04:55] <zcat[1] > what's so super about windows? :-)
[04:55] <mindstate> zcat[1] : ill check that out
[04:55] <tripppy> thats what ubuntu calls it
[04:55] <tripppy> Super_L
[04:55] <cor1> i type sudo alien "fil name location" -d and its a tar.bz2 and it says it doesnt now that fiel
[04:56] <Demolitio> after messing up my default account and having to make another user account, sound is no longer working for me. when i try to access volume control, i get an error message, "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found". my soundcard is listed in device manager. any suggestions?
[04:56] <zcat[1] > they should have called it the 'suck' key.. then everyone would know which key it was..
[04:56] <cor1> !alien
[04:56] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[04:56] <cor1> !APT
[04:56] <ubotu> APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[04:56] <riotkittie> if its a tar.bz2 you need to tar xvfj filename it.
[04:56] <zcat[1] > afk
[04:56] <lol> Ok, I am still running that live CD, and I have to manually do the partitions (....maybe I don't?) but it keeps getting mad because there isn't the bootstrap partition
[04:56] <riotkittie> alien converts rpm's
[04:57] <tripppy> zcat[1] , can you help me, or are you going to abuse windows.
[04:57] <IamUnique> HELP: i tried running the the ubuntu live cd 6.10 in virtual pc 2007 i selected the graphics mode from the cd boot and i get garbled graphics at the xwindow, how do i fix it?
[04:57] <IntuitiveNipple> Demolitio: check in /etc/group that your new account is in the audio group, maybe?
[04:57] <lol> and that guide seems to be stuck to the assumtion (sp?) that I have it already.
[04:57] <wastrel> it's best not to use alien if you don't already know what you're doing.
[04:57] <HymnToLife> IamUnique, use VMware :p
[04:57] <cor1> yes even when i use a rpm it says a whole bunch of warnings then doesnt do anything
[04:57] <wastrel> to save in vi use  :w   of  :w <filename>
[04:57] <Demolitio> @intuitiveNipple you know what, as a matter of fact i didnt. checking now.
[04:57] <wastrel> er,  s/of/or/
[04:57] <Demolitio> <- new to linux
[04:58] <cor1> well how do i install gaim beta 6 with a tar file
[04:58] <wastrel> use the gaim in the ubuntu repo
[04:58] <wastrel> it works fine for me
[04:58] <cor1> how many of you are running feista
[04:58] <wastrel> feisty
[04:58] <applenux> cor1: feisty or vista :))
[04:58] <cor1> yes but i cant install the tar.bz2 with there install instutions it dont work
[04:59] <riotkittie> for starters, you uncompress it.
[04:59] <IamUnique> whats the name of the vmware cause thers alot of programs which one do i need?
[04:59] <IntuitiveNipple> Demolitio: if you add it, make sure to *APPEND* using (-a) e.g.  moduser -aG audio <user>
[04:59] <Demolitio> @IntuitiveNipple : aded to group. do i have to restart?
[04:59] <Demolitio> just added.
[04:59] <cor1> Windows sucks does that anser your question lol
[04:59] <cor1> answer*
[04:59] <IntuitiveNipple> Demolio - I think it helps, unless you just restart your sound services
[04:59] <Demolitio> k
[04:59] <IamUnique> which wmware product is virtual pc?
[05:00] <cor1> does feista look like vista?
[05:00] <tripppy> fist_ya
[05:00] <ryan_> why is it so difficult to configure a wireless card, this is nuts
[05:00] <IamUnique> like*
[05:00] <cor1> how i upgrade to feista
[05:00] <wastrel> because your wireless vendor didn't provide a linux driver
[05:00] <wastrel> cor1:  it's feisty
[05:00] <wastrel> cor1:  #ubuntu+1 for feisty info
[05:01] <cor1> wast how i upgrade to it
[05:01] <ryan_> boo
[05:01] <wastrel> you don't, you wait until it is released.
[05:01] <lol> I think I did it... I just cleared my ext3 partitions I made for it and used the non-manual install
[05:01] <lol> lol
[05:01] <tun2> ok, i need some SERIOUS help here...
[05:01] <Demolitio> @intuitiveNipple well... just heard a soft popping noise form my 5.1 system.... sounds like that did it. restarting.
[05:01] <IntuitiveNipple> nice one, Demolitio
[05:01] <zcat[1] > back
[05:02] <mindstate> zcat[1] : i cant cd to the .xession-errors directory ? it says no file or directory
[05:02] <Demolitio> thanks
[05:02] <zcat[1] > mindstate: it's a file.
[05:02] <mindstate> zcat[1] : i also tried cat .xession-errors same response
[05:02] <zcat[1] > mindstate: .xsession-errors
[05:02] <NETWizz> I have a problem
[05:02] <cor1> isnt there a beta for testy for feista cause i know someone with the live CD for it
[05:02] <IamUnique> whats the vmware program called, to run virtual?
[05:02] <tun2> here's the thing: I have Kubuntu, but I just isntalled Gnome. It was a rough install, and i don't think i did it quite right.somebody was helping me earlier (devilsadvocate), and he's still online, but won't reply to any of my messages
[05:02] <NETWizz> I get STOP c000021a
[05:03] <NETWizz> any ideas
[05:03] <elyon225> cor1: You can get it at ubuntu.com
[05:03] <wastrel> feisty != fiesta
[05:03] <tun2> I'm gonna pastebin the terminal history in a sec
[05:03] <elyon225> tun2: First of all, if you're sending him private messages, you must be registered with the IRC server or he won't get them.
[05:03] <mindstate> zcat[1] : ok  i can see the output..not sure what to make of it..doesnt seem like anything is wrong
[05:04] <tun2> elyon225 i wasn't sending him PM
[05:04] <elyon225> tun2: Second, what command did you use to install gnome?
[05:04] <zcat[1] > mindstate: well, if nobody comes up with a better suggestion, try changing the session type in gdm to failsafe or something and then log in...
[05:04] <tun2> *PM's, i was trying to contact him conventionally. and i used apt-get
[05:04] <tun2> hang on...
[05:05] <elyon225> tun2: What packages did you install?
[05:05] <IntuitiveNipple> Demolitio: how is it?
[05:05] <mindstate> zcat[1] : yeah ive done that..it failsafe works fine except my windows partition doesnt get mounted
[05:05] <calvarez> hello, I am running Ubuntu edgy on a Dell Latitude D800 laptop. X freezes whenever coming back from suspend. Anybody else has this problem? Any potential solutions?
[05:05] <Demolitio> working like a dream now.
[05:05] <tun2> elyon225: i tried ubuntu-desktop, and it didn't work. so then i tried gnome
[05:05] <IntuitiveNipple> that caught me out once :)
[05:05] <zcat[1] > I should stop running beryl.. for some reason it's causing frequent corruption of my reiserfs... which takes forever to fsck!!
[05:05] <elyon225> tun2: Define "didn't work"
[05:06] <zcat[1] > or I should copy everything back to ext3 which doesn't seem to be having as much trouble.
[05:06] <Demolitio> yeah.... first attempt at linux. dual-booting with vista, just because i do tech support. this is definatly goign to be my main system now.
[05:06] <tun2> elyon225: i'm trying to open the terminal history so i can pastebin it to you...
[05:07] <Ch1ppy> Hello, I seem to have gotten a corrupted package (compiz-core) installed and cannot remove nor upgrade it.  On attempted upgrade I receive this output: http://pastebin.ca/364420
[05:07] <Ch1ppy> Can anyone help me remove or upgrade the package?
[05:07] <elyon225> Demolitio: Welcome!  I have dual boot into WinXP just for gaming... but still haven't gone into windows in about 2 weeks :)
[05:07] <zcat[1] > I've only seen vista once, demo'd by a microsoft guy. Funny thing was, before he even started he borrowed a USB mouse (Microsoft one too!) to do the demo, plugged it in and it failed to install. I was really impressed!
[05:07] <Demolitio> yeah..... love the style.... now if i can just get xgl set up without ruining another profile, ill have it all set lol
[05:08] <elyon225> Ch1ppy: Your first major mistake was installing a package that wasn't verified... just so you know.
[05:08] <Ch1ppy> elyon225: I know, learned my lesson already :)
[05:08] <tun2> elyon225: ok, my text editor won't open and niether will the terminal...
[05:08] <z-tau> Does anyone know what program/part of Ubuntu is responsible for automounting discs?
[05:08] <jwtodd> i've installed 6.10 on a system w/ an 8800 nv gpu which required me to install NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-9746-pkg2.run.sh from nvidia.com. all is well till i try a reboot at which time X won't start up. i reinstall the nv driver and start gdm by hand. ideas? thx.
[05:08] <elyon225> Demolitio: You have ati or radeon?
[05:08] <Demolitio> ati. 9800 pro 128mb.
[05:08] <elyon225> z-tau: Check your /etc/fstab file.
[05:08] <elyon225> tun2: Try running those from the terminal.... oh, nevermind lol
[05:09] <blanky> Demolitio: I have the same one and it's broken
[05:09] <elyon225> Demolitio: Ah, yeah... I ended up giving up on ATI after about a month and a half... got a cheap nvidia.
[05:09] <blanky> I cna still use my pc but can't play any games or anything haha
[05:09] <zcat[1] > z-tau: gnome-vfs-daemon I think
[05:09] <blanky> yeah im thinking about getting a cheap nvidia
[05:09] <HymnToLife> jwtodd, did you do something else than runnign the installer ?
[05:09] <z-tau> elyon225: uhh, how does that help?
[05:09] <HymnToLife> installing restricted-modules for example
[05:09] <elyon225> blanky: I bought a 6600 for a little over a hundred... works great.
[05:09] <Dr_willis> jwtodd,   why did the 8800 require the nvidia.run.sh stuff? the normal nvidia drivers in the repos wont work?
[05:10] <blanky> wow seriously, elyon225, recently?
[05:10] <Demolitio> idk... the 9800 pro was a pretty good line. elyon225: you couldnt get it to install, or you couldnt find the path?
[05:10] <pilgrim> how do I find out where the configuration for eclipse is stored?
[05:10] <z-tau> zcat[1] : I thought automounting would be handled by a lower-level daemon than a gnome program - are you sure?
[05:10] <Flannel> pilgrim: it's probably ~/.eclipse/
[05:10] <cor1> i have a rpm file how do i make it a .deb
[05:10] <blanky> elyon225: sweet, I was thinking I was gonna have to get a 5200 or something haha, I needa catch up with video cards
[05:10] <elyon225> Dr_willis: I've never had luck with the repos video drivers... either ATI or radeon... but I am stupid, so that may be why ;)
[05:10] <blanky> cor1: sudo apt-get install alien
[05:10] <cor1> did that
[05:10] <HymnToLife> Dr_willis, nope, the driver for the repos don't support that card
[05:10] <Dr_willis> elyon225,  ive had great luck with them. :) takes me 2-4 min to get the things going
[05:10] <blanky> cor1: sudo alien --help (look for the rpm2debian flag)
[05:10] <Flannel> cor1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RPM/AlienHowto
[05:10] <zcat[1] > z-tau: for USB drives and stuff, I think that's what handles it... don't quote me though I've been wrong before...
[05:11] <Ch1ppy> Can anyone help me fix this? http://pastebin.ca/364420
[05:11] <elyon225> Dr_willis: Well, the nvidia official drivers installed perfectly every time for me.
[05:11] <blanky> Dr_willis: me too, I never understood why people complain about drivers
[05:11] <Dr_willis> HymnToLife,  interesting.. there was a wiki/howto on the proper way to use the 'latest nvidia drivers' but ive never messed with them.
[05:11] <jwtodd> HymnToLife: no other then enable 32b support which is a prompt via the nv installer
[05:11] <blanky> until recently :'(
[05:11] <dimeotane> can xubuntu run 'comfortably' on a pII system or does it need pIII ?
[05:11] <tun2> elyon225: odd... i'm not sure how to show you the problem... it won't even let me log out!
[05:11] <HymnToLife> you running 64bit ubuntu jwtodd ?
[05:11] <jwtodd> Dr_willis: correct. i had to install 6.10 alternate
[05:11] <SilentDis> hello :)
[05:12] <elyon225> dimeotane: You should be just fine with a p2
[05:12] <blanky> dimeotane: I think it should run
[05:12] <blanky> dimeotane: I installed on an old pc a while ago
[05:12] <blanky> dimeotane: make sure you get the alternate install disk though
[05:12] <pilgrim> Flannel, what about global configuration?
[05:12] <zcat[1] > dimeotane: It's quite tolerable on a 500MHz machine as long as you have a decent amount of ram
[05:12] <SilentDis> bit of an odd one here...  Is it possible to set an alternate location for apt to search for package files in tandem with it's own?
[05:12] <elyon225> Ch1ppy: Have you tried to simply reinstall it?
[05:12] <jwtodd> HymnToLife: yes
[05:12] <dimeotane> awesome.. I've got a couple pII laptops donated to our school... they're just crying out for some ugrading of the OS
[05:12] <Flannel> pilgrim: probably /etc/eclipse/
[05:12] <Pelo> Ch1ppy,  start with sudo apt-get update then try upgrade
[05:13] <blanky> SilentDis: sorry dont know what you mean, but maybe /etc/apt/sources.list is what you want?
[05:13] <HymnToLife> jwtodd, I guess you're toast then, install the 32bit one
[05:13] <function1> i cant empty my trash! i dont have permission! clicking on the panel applet, i see stuff in the trash. however, there is nothing in /home/me/.Trash ! help
[05:13] <tun2> elyonn225: i have an idea: i will shut down through the text-only mode using CTRL+ALT+F1 and then use sudo poweroff
[05:13] <Ch1ppy> elyon225: just tried, no go
[05:13] <elyon225> tun2: Have you tried restarting X?  Press CRTL-ALT-BACKSPACE
[05:13] <tun2> brb
[05:13] <jwtodd> toast ... no good :)
[05:13] <Ch1ppy> Pelo: done many times :)
[05:13] <tun2> oh, i could do that
[05:13] <theshadow> Scrolling doesn't seem to be working in Firefox I checked the ZAxisMapping and its set to "4 5" anyone have any other ideas?
[05:13] <zcat[1] > My lappy has 256M .. It's OK for a couple of programs at a time but running gimp and OOo at the same time is a no-go.
[05:13] <tun2> ellyon225: but it's not working...
[05:13] <tun2> ok, my idea
[05:13] <tun2> brb
[05:13] <z-tau> zcat[1] : are you aware of any official documentation that describes how automounting works in Ubuntu.  I've tried searching on the web but come up with nothing.  And there seems to be very little documentation I've found on how Ubuntu is put together or structured and what packages make it up as a whole distribution
[05:14] <elyon225> tun2: Wait
[05:14] <tun2> ok
[05:14] <elyon225> tun2: Don't use poweroff.
[05:14] <jwtodd> HymnToLife: once i (re)install the driver for the session i'm good. the config just doesn't survive a reboot. seems that way anyways.
[05:14] <tun2> ok
[05:14] <elyon225> tun2: sudo shutdown -r now
[05:14] <SilentDis> blanky, just installed xubuntu on a laptop, it's gotta pull 127mb of updates.  not gonna happen.  was figuring since I'm running the same distro on this machine (ubuntu 6.10), I could use it's apt-cache as a repository of sorts for that machine.
[05:14] <elyon225> tun2: That will shut things down cleanly.
[05:14] <tun2> do i include the "now"?
[05:15] <elyon225> tun2: Yes... shutdown let's you specify a certain time to shutdown... saying "now" does it, well, now ;)
[05:15] <Flannel> tun2: yes, shutdown takes a time parameter
[05:15] <tun2> ok, brb
[05:15] <cor1> !paste
[05:15] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[05:15] <SilentDis> blanky, easy enough to nfs share out out my local /var/cache/apt/archives afterall :)
[05:15] <blanky> ohh, so you're saying you want to download the packages from another computer and then give them to the slow one?
[05:15] <elyon225> blanky: Yeah, actually... I'm curious about that too... is that possible?
[05:16] <HymnToLife> yes, but it can quickly become a pain
[05:16] <blanky> SilentDis: there's an apt command I forgot what it was (try apt help or something) where it just downloads the deb's and doesn't install them, then I guess you can install them yourself with something like sudo dpkg -i *.deb
[05:16] <cor1> blanky: i get this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6664/
[05:16] <blanky> SilentDis and elyon225, though there's probably an easier way to do it, I think SilentDis knows more than me here
[05:17] <SilentDis> blanky, sort of.  this machine is fully updated.  it's cache has a good amount of the .debs I'd need.  I can easily share out the /var/cache/apt/archives on this machine.
[05:17] <zcat[1] > z-tau: never really thought about it. There must be something in a wiki somewhere though.
[05:17] <elyon225> blanky: Synaptic will allow you to only download the packages too... although it doesn't tell you WHERE it downloaded them to ;)
[05:17] <blanky> SilentDis: ohhh I see what you mean, you already have them
[05:17] <jwtodd> HymnToLife: so my issue is x64 w/ that card (8800) then?
[05:17] <jwtodd> as u see it?
[05:18] <blanky> SilentDis: sorry man I don't know, I think you know more than me, but couldn't you set the path in /etc/apt/sources.list?
[05:18] <SilentDis> blanky, yep
[05:18] <needtoknow> Hello
[05:18] <HymnToLife> jwtodd, if it work the first time but not after a reboot, there must be something else
[05:18] <cor1> blanky: i get this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6664/
[05:18] <jwtodd> yup'rz
[05:18] <blanky> elyon225: use the command line, like I said, there's an apt flag that just downloads them, I forgot the path (maybe cur-dir?), otherwise, look it up, I don't know, sorry man
[05:18] <needtoknow> How do I register my nick?
[05:18] <HymnToLife> what does the Xorg log say after a reboot ?
[05:18] <HymnToLife> !register | needtoknow

[05:19] <SilentDis> blanky, checking the list now... I am not sure how to specify it though.  that's a collection of repos in there, is it possible to specify a directory as a repo?
[05:19] <SilentDis> !nick | needtoknow
[05:19] <blanky> cor1: got it bud, try sudo apt-get install build-essential and then try again
[05:19] <z-tau> zcat[1] : I guess that's a no then :-(.  Well I'll have a look at gnome-vfs-daemon as you suggested and see if that helps.. thanks.
[05:19] <needtoknow> HELLO

[05:20] <blanky> guys shut up, stop abusing the bot
[05:20] <elyon225> tuna: Gotcha.
[05:20] <elyon225> blanky: Oh, ubotu likes it :P
[05:21] <SilentDis> blanky, no need to pretend.  I'm pretty proficient in a linux environment, just don't know the ins and outs of the apt package system yet is all :)
[05:21] <zcat[1] > I'd type !botabuse but that would be overdoing it..
[05:21] <tuna> elyon225: ok, i'm gonna pastebin that thing to you. i warn you: it's long!
[05:21] <jwtodd> HymnToLife: (cool nick btw) ... Xorg.0.log tails ... Fatal server error: Caught signal 11.  Server aborting
[05:21] <blanky> SilentDis: yeah it looks like you know lots :D still, the debianers can be pretty mean :(
[05:21] <elyon225> tuna: What 'thing' are you pasting?
[05:21] <blanky> SilentDis: even IF you use debian hehe
[05:22] <blanky> at least, that channel is, don't mean to generalize
[05:22] <tuna> elyon225: the results of my trying to install gnome
[05:22] <tuna> using apt-get
[05:22] <jwtodd> HymnToLife: above that is a backtrace w/ 20 lib lib/mem refs
[05:22] <HymnToLife> jwtodd, lsmod | grep nvidia
[05:22] <HymnToLife> something there ?
[05:22] <elyon225> blanky: I tried installing debian, but the installer asked WAY too many questions and it didn't even install X for me... so I came back to Ubuntu :)
[05:22] <jwtodd> james@xphylz:/var/log$ lsmod|grep nvidia
[05:22] <jwtodd> nvidia               7761816  22

[05:22] <blanky> elyon225: :D I tried it and I actually liked it but installing ati drivers scared me :(
[05:22] <HymnToLife> the module is loaded then
[05:22] <blanky> SilentDis: http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Debian hehe
[05:23] <cor1> blanky: that didnt work
[05:23] <HymnToLife> it's weird why Xorg won't start
[05:23] <blanky> cor1: same EXACT output?
[05:23] <cmdrlanc> need some help with install problem

 Lol sorry for thinking you were intelligent
 Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)
[05:23] <jwtodd> i bet when my x goes bad it isn't.
[05:23] <jwtodd> we'll see
[05:23] <zcat[1] > I don't recally debian being that hard... been a while though. Ubuntu is too easy...
[05:23] <HymnToLife> anyway, I think you'll experience less problem sticking with the 32bit ubuntu
[05:23] <cor1> blanky: Yes sir
[05:23] <jZed> i installed 6.10-alternate and everything went ok except "select and install software" quit and wouldn't run, so now I have a bare system that won't run X, can I do a dist-upgrade or something to get my full ubuntu system?
[05:23] <jwtodd> coolio. thx.
[05:23] <HymnToLife> is there any reason why you're runing the 64 bit one ?
[05:23] <jwtodd> 'cuz of the shiny new (newegg.com rocks) cpu :)
[05:23] <jwtodd> i bought
[05:24] <elyon225> jZed: If you had errors while installing, I would recommend reinstalling.
[05:24] <blanky> cor1: it STILL says sh: gcc: not found ?
[05:24] <needtoknow> Ubuntu 2 easy? This thing tells me I am not root when I am trying to edit sources
[05:24] <cmdrlanc> I can't even get it to install.
[05:24] <HymnToLife> ubotu, tell needtoknow about sudo | needtoknow, see the private message from ubotu.
[05:24] <cor1> !paste
[05:24] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[05:24] <zcat[1] > jwtodd: bad news.. all the non-free stuff like wifi drivers, codecs, flash... they're all 32 bit.
[05:24] <elyon225> !sudo | needtoknow
[05:24] <ubotu> needtoknow: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[05:24] <cmdrlanc> it keeps saying no root file system
[05:24] <HymnToLife> I win, again :p
[05:24] <jZed> can I reinstall from the net, since I have the partitions and boot all set up already?
[05:25] <jwtodd> zcat[1] : won't they run under 32 support on x64?
[05:25] <HymnToLife> !install
[05:25] <ubotu> 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
[05:25] <tuna> elyon225: http://rafb.net/p/vPHR6159.html
[05:25] <elyon225> jZed: Probably... but I wouldn't be able to help you there :)
[05:25] <jwtodd> i've got some other stuff running that way
[05:25] <cor1> blanky: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666/
[05:25] <tuna> elyon225: maybe i should reinstall?
[05:25] <HymnToLife> jwtodd, afaik, 32 bit support in 64 is still quite buggy
[05:25] <zcat[1] > jwtodd: not sure. The easiest option is just run 32bit, that seems to be what most people end up doing around here..
[05:26] <zcat[1] > I don't think you lose too much anyhow.
[05:26] <HymnToLife> I suggest sticking with the 32bits ubuntu until the 64 bit is mature enough$
[05:26] <jwtodd> sudo defined: http://xkcd.com/c149.html
[05:26] <GrimSleeper> Im tryint to install mythtv, and was wondering if anyone can walk me thru it.
[05:26] <jwtodd> i just bought that shirt :)
[05:26] <zcat[1] > I'm running 32 bit on my AMD64 here.
[05:26] <elyon225> tuna: Wow... lots of errors when installing the gdm and gnome packages...
[05:26] <jwtodd> thx HymnToLife and zcat[1] .
[05:26] <elyon225> tuna: Unfortunately, other than attempting to reinstall, I have no idea.
[05:26] <blanky> cor1: are you using amd64?
[05:26] <Chicory> Hey, what's going on with gparted?
[05:26] <cor1> no
[05:27] <HymnToLife> Chicory, please elaborate
[05:27] <elyon225> Chicory: You may want to be a little more specific.
[05:27] <blanky> cor1: you got the amd64 package, you need to get the other one (i386, x86)
[05:27] <Chicory> I resized my /dev/sda1 partition, and yet it still thinks that there's only 7.8 gigs or so of free space --
[05:27] <cor1> how i tell >blanky
[05:27] <zcat[1] > <sigh> I really need to do homework.
[05:27] <Chicory> This shouldn't be possible, considering that I resized it from 32-some gigs to some ...97.
[05:27] <cor1> what you mean? >blanky
[05:27] <elyon225> Chicory: Have you applied the changes and restarted your computer?
[05:27] <blanky> cor1: where'd you download it?
[05:27] <tuna> elyon225: so maybe i should reinstall?
[05:27] <Chicory> elyon225: Very yes.
[05:27] <elyon225> tuna: That's the only suggestion I can make, sorry.
[05:27] <blanky> cor1: give me the site
[05:28] <cor1> blanky gaims website
[05:28] <blanky> link
[05:28] <Chicory> But it seems to think that there's a HUGE amount of the EXT3 partition that's used.
[05:28] <elyon225> Chicory: What is /sda1?  Is that a hard drive or external storage?
[05:28] <tuna> elyon225: oh... ok, so i'll try installing Ubuntu and installing KDE on that...
[05:28] <tim167> where do i start for installing Beryl desktop on my ubuntu machine ?
[05:28] <tuna> cya later
[05:28] <Chicory> Er, sda2.
[05:28] <Chicory> hda2?
[05:28] <rapid> tuna, why not get kubuntu rather.
[05:29] <Chicory> It's my second partition.
[05:29] <cor1> blanky http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=235&package_id=253&release_id=479631
[05:29] <needtoknow> xubuntu
[05:29] <elyon225> tim167: Do you have nvidia or ati card?
[05:29] <SilentDis> Chicory, what does fsck say?
[05:29] <GrimSleeper> Is there a channel for mythtv?
[05:29] <tuna> rapid i had kubuntu and i tried to install gnome on it
[05:29] <tim167> elyon225: yes
[05:29] <Chicory> Let me check.
[05:29] <elyon225> tim167: Haha.. that was a one or the other question :)
[05:29] <cmdrlanc> can some one please help me....I am very new at this, and at this point without the live CD my laptop is now a paper weight...please...someone
[05:29] <kdub432> tim, check search for the beryl wiki on google
[05:29] <Chicory> It SAYS that /dev/sda2 is mounted.
[05:29] <kdub432> good guide for beryl installation
[05:29] <slavik> anyone here use evdev driver for their mouse?
[05:29] <needtoknow> I made my own ubuntu (just changed the graphics to say my name all over the place) patriuntu
[05:29] <elyon225> cmdrlanc: Have you tried installing Ubuntu?
[05:29] <tuna> actually, it's probly cuz of my weird habit of installing all the packages i can in adept...
[05:30] <tim167> elyon225: aah oops: nvidia :)
[05:30] <Chicory> It also suggests strongly that running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem is BAD IDEA.
[05:30] <cmdrlanc> that's what I am trying to do...the install keeps hanging at the partition stuff.
[05:30] <Kris_T> Extremely annoying issue with Ubuntu Edgy; the whole thing freezes over every now and then, gives me a high-pitched beep and the only thing i can do is to reboot the whole system. It's done that 3 times the past 4 hours, anyone have a clue what may be causing it??
[05:30] <SilentDis> Chicory, you'll need to unmount the partition, of course.  if it's the primary drive, just boot from your livecd.  then, sudo fsck -f -C /dev/devicename
[05:30] <elyon225> tim167: Okay... hang on a second, I'll get you a link to the automatic install script that worked great for me.
[05:30] <cor1> blanky: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=235&package_id=253&release_id=479631
[05:30] <wyatt_earp> is there a way i can clone the exact packages that are installed on one system to anothe?
[05:30] <Frogzoo> !anyone | slavik
[05:30] <ubotu> slavik: 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?
[05:30] <kristjan_> how do I apply this thing - http://librarian.launchpad.net/5409028/kiso.debdiff
[05:30] <Chicory> Just an FYI, SilentDis.  XD
[05:30] <jmazaredo> im currentl running aptitude dist-upgrade and electricity is cut, how can i fix  broken files and resume
[05:30] <elyon225> tim167: Actually... last question... do you have Edgy?
[05:30] <blanky> cor1: which one did you download
[05:30] <slavik> Frogzoo: I asked a legitamate question ...
[05:30] <blanky> the fourth one?
[05:31] <cor1> blanky:  			gaim-2.0.0-0.beta6.src.rpm 			
[05:31] <SilentDis> Chicory, damn, i didn't type fast enough my warning ;)
[05:31] <tim167> elyon225: Edgy
[05:31] <Chicory> Be back in a second.
[05:31] <blanky> cor1: the fourth one down right?
[05:31] <tim167> slyon225: so..yes
[05:31] <cor1> blanky: yes
[05:31] <tim167> elyon225
[05:31] <elyon225> tim167: Okay, go here and follow the instructions: http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu_Edgy_with_nVidia#Ubuntu
[05:32] <blanky> cor1: try and use the third one down instead
[05:32] <cor1> blaky ok
[05:32] <cmdrlanc> anyone?
[05:32] <blanky> gaim-2.0.0-0.beta6.fc5.i385.rpm
[05:32] <cor1> whats file rollover
[05:32] <phasegen> does anyone know how to create a rule in evolution to send emails from specific senders directly to the trash???
[05:32] <blanky> reask > cmdrlanc
[05:32] <tim167> elyon: ok thanks, have to reboot my modem i think, cant get online with other machine...
[05:33] <tim167> elyon225: btw: is ATI as good as nvidia (i read that they are more 'open' about drivers etc...)
[05:33] <cmdrlanc> install is hanging at partitions on ubuntu....windows won't boot now either so I am stuck
[05:33] <needtoknow> ORLY^^^
[05:33] <elyon225> tim167: Quite the opposite, actually... ATI driver support in Linux is terrible.
[05:33] <SilentDis> tim167, my PERSONAL experience is that the ATI linux drivers are woefully lacking.  Nvidia's work great.
[05:33] <GrimSleeper> I don't any good mythtv links for ubuntu?
[05:33] <needtoknow> LOL ^^
[05:33] <elyon225> tim167: nvidia drivers work great..
[05:33] <panclock> Anyone know the answer to my question?
[05:33] <needtoknow> word
[05:33] <SilentDis> bbiab
[05:34] <kris740> Again; Ubuntu Edgy freezes over totally time after time and puts out a high-pitched beep from the speakers every time. Anyone know what may be causing it?
[05:34] <Frogzoo> SilentDis: the proprietary ati drivers are ok for all but games
[05:34] <needtoknow> My intel graphics card apparently has one driver and thats for windows :-|
[05:34] <function1> it seems my trash bin is linked to /var/run for some reason.. how might i resolve this?
[05:34] <kristjan_> anyway. I was asking about how to apply debdiff, but got disconnected... so how does applying debdiff work
[05:34] <Frogzoo> !915 | needtoknow
[05:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about 915 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:34] <cor1> Blanky: same thing happens
[05:34] <tim167> elyon225: ok, yes i have good experience with nvidia too, but the drivers are binaries only iirc, so not 'open' as in GPL-ed or something
[05:35] <blanky> im sorry cor1, googl 'gaim 2.0 beta6 deb'
[05:35] <tim167> SilentDis:^
[05:35] <blanky> or something
[05:35] <wyatt_earp> ok, i've gotten all the installed packages AND versions from one of my systems, how can install those specific packages and versions on another system?
[05:35] <elyon225> tim167: There are open nvidia drivers too... but they don't support 3D :)
[05:35] <cor1> blanky: ok thansk for trying
[05:35] <needtoknow> HymnToLife wants you to know: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[05:35] <needtoknow> I use that
[05:35] <blanky> cor1: no problem, sorry
[05:35] <needtoknow> sudo gedite
[05:35] <needtoknow> I hate Ubuntu's
[05:35] <cmdrlanc> blanky: install keeps hanging, windows won't boot either, crisis!
[05:35] <blanky> sudo gedi
[05:36] <blanky> sudo gedit you mean
[05:36] <HymnToLife> needtoknow, don't
[05:36] <needtoknow> ;-)
[05:36] <panclock> Anyone know the answer to my question?
[05:36] <HymnToLife> !gksudo
[05:36] <ubotu> If you need to run graphical applications as root, use  gksudo , as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Avoid ever using  sudo <GUI-application> 
[05:36] <elyon225> needtoknow: Well, if you type the command properly Ubuntu will work  :)
[05:36] <panclock> Any time I go to a website, my firefox just exits, any idea what the problem could be? I tried to reinstall firefox, etc, it still exits.
[05:36] <blanky> cmdrlanc: if you want windows back, insert windows disk, recovery console, type FIXMBR
[05:36] <blanky> cmdrlanc: otherwise, download the alternate install ubuntu disk
[05:36] <needtoknow> I do type the command correctly
[05:36] <blanky> cmdrlanc: I take it you're using the desktop install, that always causes me problems
[05:36] <GrimSleeper> This channel not very useful see ya.
[05:36] <elyon225> needtoknow: Not if you're using sudo, you're not.
[05:36] <cmdrlanc> blanky: hangs at partitions...think I have fragged the drive
[05:36] <blanky> !thanks | HymnToLife
[05:37] <ubotu> HymnToLife: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[05:37] <elyon225> GrimSleeper: Well, you're not going to find one better.
[05:37] <kris740> Again; Ubuntu Edgy freezes over totally time after time and puts out a high-pitched beep from the speakers every time. Anyone know what may be causing it? (Alsa drivers? mounted ntfs-usb-drive? something else??)
[05:37] <jmazaredo> where can i find the boot logs
[05:37] <wyatt_earp> i've gotten all the installed packages AND versions from one of my systems, how can install those specific packages and versions on another system? anyone at all?
[05:37] <HymnToLife> !botsnack
[05:37] <ubotu> Yum!
[05:37] <doojin> Hi
[05:37] <elyon225> jmazaredo: /var/logs/
[05:37] <doojin> It was amazing
[05:37] <blanky> cmdrlanc: I dont think it hanged, it typically does take a long time to partition on the desktop install disk
[05:37] <elyon225> wyatt_earp: Burn them to a CD and then you can install them on the other system.
[05:37] <doojin> Both /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/fstab pointed to swap partition as root partition
[05:37] <blanky> cmdrlanc: you can't really kill your hard drive, do you still wnat windows? if so, do what I told you
[05:38] <doojin> How could this happen? I didn't do it
[05:38] <cmdrlanc> blanky: keeps saying no root file system even after I choose / in the drop down for one of the new partitions
[05:38] <HymnToLife> doojin, did you repartition your drive after the install ?
[05:38] <blanky> cmdrlanc: :S
[05:38] <doojin> HymnToLife : no
[05:38] <needtoknow> blanky , you are experiencing a night mare that I had...... scary....
[05:38] <wyatt_earp> elyon225, is there a way i can get those packages off the system? right now i just have a list generated from apt-show-versions
[05:38] <needtoknow> Partitions ... scary ....
[05:38] <blanky> needtoknow: really
[05:38] <doojin> HymnToLife : After all I restored grub
[05:39] <blanky> needtoknow: it's cmdrlanc not me
[05:39] <elyon225> wyatt_earp: Ahh... you need to download the packages.  Look more into apt-get and find the right command to do that... I'm not sure.
[05:39] <doojin> HymnToLife: But there was a mystery
[05:39] <blanky> cmdrlanc: sorry man, dont know, if you did indeed kill windows, sorry man, that's how you learn, through mistakes, I did it a couple times and so did my friends
[05:39] <blanky> cmdrlanc: but dont worry, your actual hard drive isn't dead, shouldn't be...
[05:39] <psykidellic> Hi....I just got an old machine from my professor and for him his ethernet card was working...so I installed Ubuntu 6.01 and 6.1 but I cannot get the system detect my card
[05:39] <elyon225> blanky: Windows is pretty easy to kill, though it's also prone to suicide.
[05:39] <wyatt_earp> alright elyon225, i just thought there might be an easy way to say 'install only these packages and only these versions'
[05:39] <psykidellic> i did modprobe etc. according to Google
[05:40] <psykidellic> but nothing worked
[05:40] <blanky> elyon225: ROFL
[05:40] <cmdrlanc> blanky: when I boot windows it say missing OS....and umbuntu won't install...what now?
[05:40] <psykidellic> so now I started the system with E live Live CD
[05:40] <psykidellic> and it detects everything.....so why isnt Ubuntu detecting it? Can use this live system to fix something on my Ubuntu?
[05:40] <elyon225> cmdrlanc: Call Microsoft tech support and ask them to help you install Ubuntu ;)  That's always fun.
[05:40] <kris740> PROBLEM: Ubuntu Edgy freezes over totally time after time and puts out a high-pitched beep from the speakers. Anyone know what may be causing it? (Alsa drivers? mounted ntfs-usb-drive? something else??)
[05:40] <cmdrlanc> elyon: not in a joking mood right now
[05:41] <blanky> cmdrlanc: You can probably get knoppix, and if you have to drives, at lesat one of them being a burner, you can run knoppix and mount windows (should mount automatically) and burn your data
[05:41] <blanky> cmdrlanc: assuming you didn't kill windows
[05:41] <blanky> cmdrlanc: otherwise, there's nothing left, so you can either install linux on the whole hard drive or if you still want windows, install windows first
[05:41] <Volker> howdy all
[05:41] <cmdrlanc> blanky: say that again in newbie
[05:41] <blanky> cmdrlanc: what part?
[05:42] <Volker> ouch!
[05:42] <Volker> snif snif
[05:42] <elyon225> cmdrlanc: Are you able to access your Windows partition to backup your data?
[05:42] <cmdrlanc> two drives? mounting windows?
[05:42] <blanky> cmdrlanc: okay, do you care about windows, as in, do you still want it?
[05:42] <Volker> :)
[05:42] <blanky> cmdrlanc: or did you intend on dual-booting
[05:42] <Chicory> Okay, okay -- I apparently fscked the EXT3 filesystem.
[05:42] <Chicory> Now it's time to see if it changed anything!
[05:42] <Volker> what a commonly asked question... Do you care about windows?
[05:42] <cmdrlanc> blanky: dual boot
[05:42] <Volker> fsck /dev/sda1 -y
[05:43] <blanky> cmdrlanc: okay, I take it you messed up your partitions, so I suggest reinstalling windows
[05:43] <slipstream3d> hello, can anyone help a complete (server) noob with LVM? can you take two existing, non-LVM drives and merge them without destroying data?
[05:43] <blanky> cmdrlanc: do you mind doing that?
[05:43] <Chicory> ...
[05:43] <Chicory> Damn it!  >: E
[05:43] <blanky> cmdrlanc: or do you have important data you can't live without
[05:43] <Chicory> The partition STILL thinks it's taken up most of the filesystem!
[05:43] <cmdrlanc> blanky:I didn't do anything though....run partition magic and followed the onscreen instructions.
[05:43] <slipstream3d> or at least take one non-blank drive and one blank one and merge them without losing the data on the non-blank drive?
[05:43] <Chicory> It's like ... 89% percent used, but it shouldn't be much more than 33%.
[05:43] <blanky> cmdrlanc: OHHH, partition magic?
[05:44] <cmdrlanc> Blanky: yes....about 6 months of email
[05:44] <blanky> cmdrlanc: I thought you meant ubuntu's partition program
[05:44] <Chicory> It's like gparted just wrote data where it didn't see any!
[05:44] <elyon225> cmdrlanc: Did you follow Partition Magic's recommendations to make a backup BEFORE modifying partitions? ;)
[05:44] <slipstream3d> i've had much better success with gparted than partition magic anyway, and it's a heck of a lot cheaper to boot
[05:44] <cmdrlanc> blanky: the umbuntu partion program keeps trying to redo everything again...and keeps saying no root
[05:44] <blanky> cmdrlanc: okay, try putting your windows disk in the computer and start it up, once it loads (the disk) enter the recovery console, log in to your windows, then ocne you're at the command prompt, type FIXMBR
[05:44] <blanky> cmdrlanc: see if that fixes anything
[05:44] <Chicory> Why does my /sda2 partition seem to think it's absolutely chock full of crap?
[05:45] <HymnToLife> Chicory, because you resized it
[05:45] <Volker> LVM, you are better of with software RAID
[05:45] <slipstream3d> is that a message for me, volker?
[05:45] <Volker> or hardware RAID
[05:46] <Chicory> Yes, but why can't I use the damn space I just carved out for it?
[05:46] <Volker> yes
[05:46] <HymnToLife> hardware RAID is pretty rare though
[05:46] <HymnToLife> and expensive
[05:46] <Volker> not really... expensive yes
[05:46] <Volker> what kind of mobo do you have?
[05:46] <rapid> it comes standard on lots of new mb's
[05:46] <slipstream3d> alright, what would be the best method of combining a 120gb drive and a 160gb drive so they can be one continuous network share. i don't care about speed.
[05:46] <kris740> Again; Ubuntu Edgy freezes over totally time after time and puts out a high-pitched beep from the speakers every time. Anyone know what may be causing it? (Alsa drivers? mounted ntfs-usb-drive? something else??)
[05:46] <HymnToLife> rapid, wrong
[05:46] <HymnToLife> that is just some fake RAID-like crap
[05:46] <pavs> how do I change the default movie player to VLC? totem sucks big time you cant play anything on it
[05:46] <Volker> slip, raid won't work
[05:47] <HymnToLife> by no means real hardware RAID
[05:47] <slipstream3d> i know, i want to do "JBOD"
[05:47] <Volker> you need like drives to raid them
[05:47] <slipstream3d> hence I think LVM does that
[05:47] <rapid> HymnToLife, i hear you.
[05:47] <elyon225> pavs: Totem will play everything if you have the right codecs installed.
[05:47] <Volker> thought you were using like drives

[05:47] <Flannel> slipstream3d: LVM does that fine, yeah
[05:47] <cmdrlanc> blanky: I can put my hands on SUSE 9.1 and linspire5.0.59....will either of those help?
[05:47] <newbuntu07> Quick question: How do I see/manage all file<->program associations in one location?
[05:47] <blanky> cmdrlanc: what do you mean
[05:47] <hanasaki> xorg starts fine and loads glx.. no errors in the log file / however, glxinfo and any 3D program crash...  I have reinstalled the nvidia package / still no good.. any thouhts?
[05:48] <pavs> thanks I will check it out
[05:48] <slipstream3d> flannel: do you know if there's a way to do it without losing the data on an existing ext3 partition on one or both drives? or will i have to copy everything over to my other box first
[05:48] <cmdrlanc> blanky: I can't find my knoppix...will either of those work in it's place?
[05:48] <Volker> hanasaki: have you checked your xorg.conf to make sure it says NV instead of nvidia or generic?
[05:48] <blanky> cmdrlanc: if all you want to do is backup your emails, I suggest you get a live cd like knoppix, run it (put it in the drive, restart pc), then go into the windows partition (it'll be on your desktop, or should), and then back them up somehow
[05:48] <hanasaki> says nivida..
[05:48] <Volker> slip: i think you will have to back up to another drive just to make sure
[05:48] <hanasaki> it should be nv?
[05:48] <Chicory> Is there any way for me to, you know, clean up that partition?
[05:48] <Volker> it should say NV
[05:48] <blanky> cmdrlanc: I suggest any live cd, knoppix would be best in my opinion
[05:49] <blanky> cmdrlanc: do you have more than one drive?
[05:49] <hanasaki> whats the diff?
[05:49] <Volker> good question
[05:49] <hanasaki> i thought the nivida pakcage made nvidia not nv
[05:49] <slipstream3d> damn, that means copying 100+gb of data over a network. at least i upgraded to gigabit >.<
[05:49] <Volker> what card are you using?
[05:49] <cmdrlanc> blanky: no...just the one cd/dvd/cd burner combo
[05:49] <Volker> and what os v?
[05:49] <elyon225> hanasaki: the nvidia drivers are the free ones, and they don't support 3D acceleration.
[05:49] <hanasaki> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV36.1 [GeForce FX 5700 Ultra]  (rev a1)
[05:49] <ala> how can i add a directory to my PATH?
[05:49] <hanasaki> and nv supports accel?
[05:50] <slipstream3d> i thought "nvidia" was the nonfree and "nv" was the free, lol, oops
[05:50] <theshadow> How can I tell what version of Xorg I'm running?
[05:50] <elyon225> hanasaki: nv is the proprietary format that DOES support 3D
[05:50] <blanky> cmdrlanc: yeah, MAYBE (italics) you can run knoppix on that drive, then take out the cd while it's running (doubt it, worth a try) then put in a blank cd and use k3b to burn your data
[05:50] <elyon225> slipstream3d: Uh oh... am *I* wrong? lol
[05:50] <blanky> cmdrlanc: or you can uploat it to a site if you have one
[05:50] <elyon225> hang on... lemme check what I'm using...
[05:50] <hanasaki> nvidia is what builds if you download hte free one from nvidia.com or build the ubuntu package
[05:50] <Flannel> slipstream3d: Uh, I don't know if theres a utility to do it inline.  But, I don't believe so.
[05:50] <UdontKnow> theshadow: look at /var/log/X*
[05:50] <slipstream3d> i think nv is the one that comes with xorg
[05:50] <hanasaki> slipstream3d: yes
[05:50] <HymnToLife> hanasaki, free as in beer
[05:50] <hanasaki> which one will do beryl?
[05:50] <blanky> cmdrlanc: besides, aren't your emails on another servers? or are they solely on your computer
[05:50] <Volker> NV
[05:50] <HymnToLife> not Free as in Freedom
[05:50] <Volker> NV does beryl
[05:50] <hanasaki> brb
[05:50] <Volker> and i ran into this myself a couple of times...
[05:51] <hanasaki> ;)
[05:51] <Kris740_2> well what do you know, it just happened again, if I can't get this crap to stop freezing over all the time I sure won't keep using it
[05:51] <Volker> now are you using a beta driver?
[05:51] <elyon225> hanasaki, Volker:  Hmm... I'm using 'nvidia' and I have full acceleration.
[05:51] <Volker> elyon, is it the beta driver?
[05:51] <slipstream3d> you need the "nonfree" package nvidia-glx installed and working to use beryl... preferably with the newest beta version (9xxx)
[05:51] <Volker> slipstream3d: right
[05:51] <elyon225> Volker: I have the official nvidia  drivers.
[05:51] <Volker> but they screwed everything up from 6.x to 6.10
[05:52] <ala> anyone know how to add a directory to my path?
[05:52] <Volker> mkdir
[05:52] <newbuntu07> How do I see/manage file-to-program associations in one location? (I've googled and searched the wiki... I just can't find the answer..)
[05:52] <newbuntu07> Anybody? :)
[05:52] <elyon225> tim167: How'd it go?
[05:52] <Flannel> ala: why do you want to? which directory?
[05:52] <ala> Volker: systemwide path
[05:52] <tim167> can someone help me get my desktop back online, something wron with network settings i think...
[05:53] <tim167> elyon225 ^ couldnt try yet
[05:53] <nanothief> tim167: any more details?
[05:53] <ala> Flannel: the system wide PATH i would like to add a directory which contains my binary
[05:53] <cmdrlanc> blanky: I am running nubuntu live now....how do I see the c:\ drive....I am seeing is my external HD on the desk top.
[05:53] <Volker> ala: what do you mean?
[05:53] <Flannel> ala: which directory?  Why not put the binary somewhere it's supposed to go?
[05:53] <blanky> cmdrlanc: your external drive isn't the one you want right
[05:54] <gabriela> i want to install a program called jin
[05:54] <cmdrlanc> blanky: correct. C:\ is internal
[05:54] <hanasaki> elyon is a beta to what?
[05:54] <blanky> cmdrlanc: try,... sudo mkdir /mnt/win
[05:54] <gabriela> does someone know how?
[05:54] <psykidellic> anybody?
[05:54] <blanky> cmdrlanc: then sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hda /mnt/win
[05:54] <hanasaki> Volker:  ummm no dice..
[05:54] <Volker> jin?
[05:54] <blanky> wait, cmdrlanc , I meant
[05:54] <newbuntu07> Hi folks..... is this thing on... can anyone here me?
[05:54] <newbuntu07> erm.. see me.
[05:54] <ranny1> hi,
[05:54] <blanky> cmdrlanc: sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /mnt/win
[05:54] <Volker> hanasaki: your xorg.conf says nvidia
[05:54] <blanky> newbuntu07: yes...
[05:54] <Flannel> newbuntu07: ack
[05:54] <hanasaki> it did.. just tried with nv
[05:54] <ala> Flannel: because it is my binary ... ~/code/myprogram
[05:55] <hanasaki> which is the right one?
[05:55] <nanothief> newbuntu07:no
[05:55] <tim167> nanothief: trying to determine..., i am online with 2 computers, i switched cables and one computer can still go online, the same one that could go online before switching...so its not the cable
[05:55] <Volker> hanasaki: what did it say?
[05:55] <hanasaki> ?
[05:55] <newbuntu07> thanks...
[05:55] <hanasaki> where?
[05:55] <Volker> hanasaki: did X11 crash?
[05:55] <hanasaki> nope
[05:55] <hanasaki> no errors
[05:55] <hanasaki> runs fine
[05:55] <hanasaki> glx loads
[05:55] <hanasaki> issue is.. beryl wont start
[05:55] <nanothief> tim167: what happens with ping www.google.com?
[05:55] <gabriela> want to install jin
[05:55] <Volker> hanasaki: let me see... i can't remember what i did exactly to get beryl to run
[05:55] <tim167> nanothief, i've been playing around with vncviewer, after that i rebooted, and cant get online anymore
[05:55] <Flannel> ala: Right, if you want to run it, for yourself, just use ./programname, if youre looking to make it available for everyone, put it in /usr/local/bin
[05:56] <cmdrlanc> Blanky: got this......  wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1,
[05:56] <cmdrlanc>        missing codepage or other error
[05:56] <cmdrlanc>        In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
[05:56] <cmdrlanc>        dmesg | tail  or so
[05:56] <Volker> hanasaki: but i went through the same thing...
[05:56] <blanky> cmdrlanc: wow I'm stupid
[05:56] <blanky> cmdrlanc: hold on
[05:56] <tim167> nanothief: unknown host www.google.com
[05:56] <newbuntu07> Can anyone point me in the right direction for this?  I would like to see a list of what programs have registered what  file types/extensions...

[05:57] <ala> Flannel:  no...there is a way which you can add a directory to the system wide path...so i don't have to put it in somewhere like /usr/local/bin ... this needs root access, and i might not have it later on... but i can always modify my own systemwide path

[05:59] <Volker> hanasaki: looking up some documentation
[05:59] <blanky> admin__: or try sudo apt-cache search glib, then install the one it says with the -dev at the end, only if build-essential didnt work
[05:59] <hanasaki> thanks.. Volker I will wait...
[05:59] <Chicory> But every utility seems to declare that quite a deal of the parition has been written/used ...

[06:00] <needtoknow> nobodey laughed at my sudo apt-get STI , sudo apt-get antibiotics  joke

[06:00] <cmdrlanc> blanky: ok....can now see the old C:\ stuff including windows....what now?
[06:00] <[0x90] > not all of them are created
[06:00] <tim167> nanothief: eth0 is set to Automatic Configuration (DHCP), normally this works, like it worked a few hours ago...
[06:00] <blanky> you can see it now cmdrlanc ? niice
[06:00] <nanothief> tim167: ok add these addresses to you DNS Server addresses : 204.117.214.10, 217.32.105.91
[06:00] <blanky> cmdrlanc: well, go to the c drive and look for the emails
[06:00] <blanky> cmdrlanc: then the next problem is to try to figure out how to back them up, maybe upload them to a server, burn them, or something
[06:01] <nanothief> tim167: sometimes with a change of settings DHCP stops working...
[06:01] <Volker> hanasaki: so let me get this straight, X11 starts, and beryl displays the icon on the taskbar?
[06:01] <[0x90] > is it possible to make mpg321 output streams to a tty instead of alsa?

[06:05] <tim167> nanothief: no idea actually, i was playing around with vncviewer, rebooted, and after that couldnt get online anymore
[06:05] <bruenig> roler, see those buttons on the monitor there
[06:05] <Explosif> anyone have any experience enabling s-video?
[06:05] <roler> bruenig, ; ha ha. lcd here bro, no other way than via the video card
[06:05] <hanasaki> Volker:  I am moving over to #ubuntu+1
[06:05] <tim167> nanothief i didnt change any settings manually, ...before noticing i couldnt get online anymore that is...
[06:06] <bruenig> bragger
[06:06] <Volker> hanasaki: ok
[06:06] <Flannel> ala: edit your .bash_profile, actually... there's already a thing in there, if you put stuff in ~/bin, it'll be in your PATH already
[06:06] <cmdrlanc> Anyone?
[06:07] <ala> Flannel: thanks i figured it out, #kubuntu was helpful
[06:07] <nanothief> tim167: try disabling your connection through networking -properties, close the window and reenable it
[06:08] <cmdrlanc> anyone: nubuntu install hanging at mountpoints....little help?
[06:08] <[0x90] > what's the printf library in linux ?
[06:08] <[0x90] > for c
[06:08] <ajkochanowicz> could someone walk me through sudo?
[06:08] <GigaClon> I can
[06:08] <Flannel> !sudo | ajkochanowicz
[06:08] <ubotu> ajkochanowicz: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[06:08] <GigaClon> there you go
[06:08] <cellofellow> How do I get OpenOffice.org'
[06:09] <cellofellow> oops
[06:09] <GigaClon> basically type sudo <command>
[06:09] <GigaClon> then type your password
[06:09] <tim167> nanothief: two things: i get a bunch of lines with 'no such device'...and second: "no working leases in persistent database", does that have something to do with my isp not giving out a new ip maybe ? (i think normally only once every 2 hours a new ip is given...
[06:09] <zerodni> sudo apt-get install openoffice.org2
[06:09] <cmdrlanc> GigaClon: install help?
[06:10] <zerodni> sudo apt-get install openoffice.org
[06:10] <cellofellow> How do I get OpenOffice's help working? I'm in Xubuntu so it doesn't work off the bat. I have the package openoffice.org-help-en-us which it says it needs, but can't find.
[06:10] <cellofellow> there, that's what I meant to say.
[06:10] <zerodni> cellofellow, what repostorys are you using ?
[06:11] <cellofellow> plain Edgy with Backports and Updates and Multiverse and Universe.
[06:11] <Varanger> Does anyone have a ATI card???
[06:11] <ajkochanowicz> I'm trying to edit sources.list but it won't let me
[06:11] <cmdrlanc> Anyone: PLEASE! Install help...
[06:11] <nanothief> tim167: well i'm pretty stuck. You could try uninstalling vncviewer, but I'm not sure if that would help. Can you remember the specific setting you were playing around with in vcn?
[06:11] <ajkochanowicz> even if I do sudoedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:12] <ajkochanowicz> it doesn't even ask me for a pass
[06:12] <Madpilot> ajkochanowicz, put a space between sudo & edit
[06:12] <tim167> nanothief: i'm gonna try something stupid but i remember it worked once: turn off my computer completely, power switch on back side and all, so none of the leds inside is burning anymore, then reboot... lets see...
[06:12] <zerodni> ajkochanowicz, do sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:12] <ajkochanowicz> ok, lemme try that
[06:12] <cellofellow> ajkochanowicz: what about just sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list ? or vim, whatever.
[06:12] <nanothief> tim167: good luck
[06:12] <zerodni> then hit the i key that will put you in incert mode
[06:12] <zerodni> nano works too :p
[06:12] <[0x90] > what's the header with the printf function in c for linux?
[06:12] <tim167> nanothief (its not this one :) )
[06:12] <Madpilot> nano works a lot better
[06:13] <murdoc> Is there way to remap my meta key to be Left Alt?
[06:13] <blanky> [0x90] : same as everything else
[06:13] <blanky> [0x90] : try man printf
[06:13] <Chicory> Is there any way I can force Ubuntu to recalculate the  free space available in its parition?
[06:13] <[0x90] > thanks :)
[06:13] <blanky> [0x90] : I think it's stdio.h
[06:13] <Flannel> [0x90] : same as normal C, stdio
[06:13] <nanothief> tim167: hahah lol thats should be obvious :P
[06:13] <PwcrLinux> How i can find a video memory stats?
[06:13] <[0x90] > that's it :D
[06:13] <andy1> hi everyone, im having trouble setting up tightvncserver properly on ubuntu, i've got it installed and everything but when i use vncviewer to connect to it all i get is a grey background with a terminal window, but when i want is a gnome session, can anyone please help me?
[06:14] <cellofellow> zerodni: so, what's up with the OOo help stuff? It just doesn't work.
[06:14] <cmdrlanc> Blanky: ??? you still there??
[06:14] <blanky> cmdrlanc: yes
[06:14] <tim167> nanothief and sure enough that worked! i think my network card sometimes gets stuck and doesnt reset unless I completely turn off the computer...ever seen that happen ?  thanks for help :)
[06:14] <nanothief> tim167: sweet :D
[06:15] <cmdrlanc> Blanky: I am just focusing on trying to get installed.....I am at mounting point and it keeps saying "no root file system" no matter what I do.
[06:15] <kevman> Anyone having trouble fetching off the official ubuntu repos?
[06:15] <nq> strange thing happen for my ADSL networking: fast  when conncted, very very slow after a while.   I have to pon & poff to bring back the network speed
[06:15] <nanothief> tim167: i had a printer once that would stop and needed to be unplugged for a few hours to start working again
[06:15] <ajkochanowicz> oh my god, I think that worked.
[06:15] <blanky> cmdrlanc: sorry man I gotta go, if you backed up your stuff, just re-install windows
[06:16] <blanky> cmdrlanc: re-ask your question (be specific cause they dont know what's going on) to the channel
[06:16] <zerodni> cellofellow, when you do a aptitude search openoffice |grep help-en-us
[06:16] <doojin> ?
[06:16] <zerodni> are they all v or any of them p
[06:16] <doojin> man?
[06:17] <doojin> What is the shortcut for minimizing all windows on gnome?
[06:17] <zerodni> man short for manual
[06:17] <cellofellow> one sec then
[06:17] <nanothief> doojin: ctrl+alt+d
[06:17] <doojin> nanothief : can I change the key?
[06:17] <cmdrlanc> ALL: Again: Unbuntu install stuck at mounting points....please advise
[06:17] <ajkochanowicz> I think I successfully edited sources.list as the compiz website told me to do, but I don't see anything different?
[06:17] <cellofellow> apt-get update
[06:18] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, do you have sata drives
[06:18] <cmdrlanc> zerodni: I don't know
[06:18] <nanothief> doojin: system - preferences - keyboard shortcuts. Note that you can't use the windows keys with these
[06:18] <shatrat> ajkochanowicz, if you add something to your sources.list you need to do sudo apt-get update before you can install from tha trepository
[06:18] <cellofellow> zerodni: well, looks like they weren't installed anyays
[06:18] <doojin> nanothief : why not?
[06:18] <cellofellow> zerodni: thanks for making me check
[06:18] <zerodni> are the mount points going to hda or sda
[06:18] <doojin> Window key is included in stardard keyboards
[06:19] <cmdrlanc> zerodni: hda
[06:19] <zerodni> cellofellow,  ah so you had a p not a v next to the help package
[06:19] <ajkochanowicz> shatrat: thank you and forgive my n00bness, how do you do the sudo apt-get, do you just type that into terminal?
[06:19] <cellofellow> zerodni: uhuh
[06:19] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, what does your mount string look like
[06:19] <cellofellow> ajkochanowicz: uhuh. Just learn to use the terminal. It's easier to send commands over IRC.
[06:19] <shatrat> ajkochanowicz, yes.  "sudo apt-get update" will read all the sources in your sources.list
[06:19] <zerodni> cellofellow,  in yoru fstab
[06:19] <nanothief> doojin: gnome doesn't recognize windows as a modifier key (like alt and shift). You can install beryl to get this functionality (or there is probably another way). Beryl is a bit unstable though
[06:20] <shatrat> ajkochanowicz, then sudo apt-get install compiz or whatever.  Im sure its in the how-to
[06:20] <ajkochanowicz> holy shit
[06:20] <ajkochanowicz> that was cool
[06:20] <cmdrlanc> zerodni: mount string?
[06:20] <cellofellow> zerodni: what about my fstab?
[06:20] <PwcrLinux> How i can find a video memory stats?
[06:20] <shatrat> PwcrLinux, like how much you have?
[06:20] <zerodni> cellofellow, that was for cmdrlanc :p
[06:20] <doojin> nanothief : what is beryl?
[06:21] <PwcrLinux> shatrat: 32 MB Vram
[06:21] <ajkochanowicz> I thought beryl was like a spin off of compiz
[06:21] <zyth> ajkochanowicz, it is
[06:21] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, are you still in the install if you are how far are you into it
[06:21] <zyth> a fork
[06:21] <shatrat> PwcrLinux, well there you go, you already know :)
[06:21] <cellofellow> doojin: it's got more features and stuff, and takes a different tack in style.
[06:21] <cmdrlanc> zerodni: step 5
[06:21] <doojin> cellofellow : what is beryl?
[06:21] <cmdrlanc> it keeps repeating "no root file system
[06:21] <nanothief> doojin: http://www.beryl-project.org/features.php
[06:21] <ajkochanowicz> after doing the apt-get, should it show up in add/remove or something?
[06:21] <zerodni> cmdrlanc,  have you installed packeges yet
[06:21] <Volker> beryl is an OpenGL desktop enhancement
[06:22] <cellofellow> doojin: a Compositing Window Manager with high-power visual effects.
[06:22] <cmdrlanc> zerodni: I have just been following instruction on the screen
[06:22] <shatrat> ajkochanowicz, I dont know, I never use the graphical apt programs.
[06:22] <nanothief> doojin: its overkill to do what you want though, but I don't know another way (but there would be another way)
[06:22] <PwcrLinux> shatrat: well, how I can find a video ram stats, does it's mem command?
[06:22] <Volker> it turns your desktop into full 3D
[06:22] <zerodni> ok let try this do a ctrl + alt F2
[06:22] <tim167> elyon225, nanothief: installing Beryl on my desktop now....(snaredrum roll...)
[06:22] <zerodni> see you have a login
[06:22] <ajkochanowicz> aw man.  It says it can't find the AMD64 package, (404 error)  Has anyone else had installation problems with amd64 dapper ubuntu?
[06:23] <ashaffer> ls
[06:23] <shatrat> ajkochanowicz, I assume youre following some ubuntu compiz how to?
[06:23] <cellofellow> doojin: uses the AIGLX Xorg extension or XGL to do fancy stuff like burning windows, rotating cube, wobbly windows, zooming effects, and transparency, and more.
[06:23] <pavs> any autocad like software for linux?
[06:23] <cellofellow> qcad
[06:23] <nanothief> tim167: hahaha you'll love the wobbly windows
[06:23] <pavs> qcad :) lemme chack it out
[06:23] <ajkochanowicz> shatrat: yeah, pretty much, the compiz how to is quite limited
[06:23] <doojin> cellofellow : and it is a window manager?
[06:23] <shatrat> ajkochanowicz, dapper?  Its recommended that you use edgy if youre gonna ues beryl/compiz, they depend on too much new stuff
[06:24] <pavs> nice.. but not as advanced as autocad :(
[06:24] <cellofellow> doojin: yeah, it replaces MetaCity, (or xfwm4 or kwin or whatever you're using in you Desktop Environment.)
[06:24] <shatrat> ajkochanowicz, I dont know how it is with compiz, but the beryl repo for dapper hasnt been updated in like 9 versions
[06:24] <ajkochanowicz> I had installation problems when trying to get edgy on.
[06:24] <doojin> cellofellow : It could attract some window users
[06:24] <ajkochanowicz> it would stop at 50% when checking disks
[06:24] <cellofellow> pavs: are YOU as advanced as autocad?
[06:24] <doojin> It took 3 days to configure ubuntu
[06:24] <ajkochanowicz> maybe I should just format the linux partitions and do a fresh install
[06:24] <tim167> nanothief: looking forward to show-off to my friends (most of whom are still windoze victims ;) )
[06:24] <Volker> lol tim167
[06:24] <Chicory> !resizing
[06:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about resizing - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:25] <cellofellow> doojin: especially since it needs less video memory and cpu than Vista's Aero.
[06:25] <Chicory> !gparted
[06:25] <ubotu> gparted is gparted is a GUI partitioning program, "sudo apt-get install gparted", also available as a live cd http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[06:25] <doojin> cellofellow : aero
[06:25] <pavs> cellofellow: I am still learning qcad doesnt have 3d rendering, or so it seems
[06:25] <ardchoille> Anyone gnome which widget set or theme is used in gnome when the gnome-settings-caemon isn't running? It's the same theme as the gdm screen uses.
[06:26] <PwcrLinux> shatrat: mem not found in the command
[06:26] <Chicory> Why does my sda2 partition seem to think it has 87 gigs of data when i only have maybe 32 in / ?
[06:26] <shatrat> ajkochanowicz, well, if you want to mess with really bleeding edge stuff like compiz and beryl its not unusual that you would need to be on the latest and greatest version of ubuntu.
[06:26] <cellofellow> how DO I change the GTK+ theme that GDM uses? And preferably on the config-file level, xubuntu here. (no one in #xubuntu knows how.)
[06:26] <shatrat> PwcrLinux, Im not sure what the best way to find that info in linux is.  Its probably present in your bios though
[06:26] <_`XeOn_> !nvidia
[06:26] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:27] <cellofellow> PwcrLinux: you could start with lspci in a terminal and then googling the numbers you get.
[06:27] <PwcrLinux> shatrat: ah okay
[06:27] <ajkochanowicz> what is the difference between edgy and dapper?
[06:27] <cafuego_> 0.04
[06:27] <martin80> hehe
[06:27] <cafuego_> ajkochanowicz: Edhy has never software, dapper is a bit more stable.
[06:28] <Flannel> ajkochanowicz: software versions, mostly.  Edgy uses upstart
[06:28] <cafuego_> eh, s/never/newer/
[06:28] <cellofellow> ajkochanowicz: new init (boot) system in edgy, newest Gnome and Firefox, stuff like that.
[06:28] <shatrat> ajkochanowicz, newer packages, different setup.  dapper will have its repositories maintained much longer.  edgy repositories will only be around for about another 12 months I believe
[06:28] <zerodni> hey has anyone ever tried pythoncad ?
[06:28] <shatrat> sometimes I design things on napkins, thats as close as i come
[06:28] <psykidellic> hi....Ubuntu 6.01 nor 6.1 is detecting my 3com network card. The card uses a generic 3c59x driver. I did modprobe and it says to successfuly load those kernel modules but ifconfig nor ifup works...I started my machine with E Live LIVE CD and it detects everything and I can get all the info if I do ifconfig. What can be the problem with ubuntu? Also Can I manually edit some file with info got from E Live system?
[06:29] <z9999> Does anyone know how to determine which audio/video CODECs are installed? and where they are to be found in Ubuntu?
[06:29] <Chicory> Do I need to wipe the whole ext3 partition just to utilize the space because GParted rote so much data to fill the partition?
[06:29] <PwcrLinux> shatrat: I got the line of VGA nbr.. 0000:01:00.0

[06:32] <Trixsey> Hey! I added a Matlab link under Applications -> Education. When I click it only the spash screen comes up, the program doesn't actually start. But when I do "matlab &" in terminal (the very same command as the link executes) it works. Tips?
[06:32] <cafuego_> psykidellic: Does 'ifconfig -a' list an 'eth0' interface?
[06:33] <Volker> it should cafuego
[06:33] <cafuego_> Madpilot: Or perhaps not
[06:33] <psykidellic> in Ubuntu?
[06:33] <psykidellic> no
[06:33] <Volker> you can alternatively use: ifconfig eth0
[06:33] <Volker> it's showing the lo?
[06:33] <psykidellic> Volker, yes
[06:33] <psykidellic> in Ellive....its showing both
[06:33] <psykidellic>  tried with Xnioppix also
[06:33] <Volker> tell it to show the eht0
[06:33] <psykidellic> same effect
[06:33] <Volker> ifconfig eht0
[06:33] <psykidellic> whenever i do ifconfig eth0
[06:34] <psykidellic> it shows no device found or some sort
[06:34] <psykidellic> hold on for 2 minites
[06:34] <psykidellic> i will reboot in ubuntu...i am running elive now
[06:34] <Volker> ok

[06:34] <Trixsey> psykidellic, you know whats wrong? :(
[06:34] <jmazaredo> how to get the version number of ubuntu in console
[06:34] <cmdrlanc> zerondi: ctrl alt F2 led to newbie hell
[06:34] <jmazaredo> or what version i have
[06:35] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, you can get back by going to ctrl + alt + f1 can get you back
[06:35] <psykidellic> Madpilot, sorry!
[06:35] <psykidellic> Trixsey, No.
[06:35] <zerodni> we just need to know how the installer setup your mount points in fstab
[06:35] <cmdrlanc> zerodni: nice to know for the future.
[06:35] <zerodni> so at the command line its less /etc/fstab
[06:36] <zerodni> sorry sould have told you that before :p
[06:36] <LordKeiden> how do i go about diagnosing a consistant lockup? if i boot into the recovery mode kernel (2.6.20) the system is stable. if i boot into the regular kernel, it locks after i get to the gdm. it seemd to be time related. if i am fast enough, i can log in, but it locks before the gnome splash apears. it is a hard lock...no ctrl-alt-number terminals, no capslock leds, no hard drive activity. just a hard reset is all i can do. it seem
[06:36] <LordKeiden> s to take 30 seconds to lock from the time the gdm is up.
[06:36] <zyth> LordKeiden, I'd suspect a X driver issue.
[06:37] <zerodni> i had a system that tryed to mount my sata drives as ide drives
[06:37] <Trixsey> Hey! I added a Matlab link under Applications -> Education. When I click it only the spash screen comes up, the program doesn't actually start. But when I do "matlab &" in terminal (the very same command as the link executes) it works. Tips?
[06:37] <zerodni> they should mount as sda or what not b or c
[06:37] <LordKeiden> zyth even though the gdm fully shows, even the animated icon?
[06:37] <zyth> Trixsey, probably starting in the wrong dir
[06:37] <zyth> LordKeiden, quite possibly, yes
[06:37] <zyth> LordKeiden, what card do you have, what driver are you using?
[06:38] <LordKeiden> nvidia 6150, and the driver in the repo.
[06:38] <roler> does anyone know how to change the contrast or brightness via the video card in linux? I'm on a laptop which it's blue contrast/gamma is messed. I can change gamma with xgamma, but also need to tweak a bit of the contrast.
[06:38] <Trixsey> zyth, how do you mean? It works in terminal but not the link
[06:38] <zerodni> dude awsome linux just shown on heroes :p
[06:39] <Trixsey> zyth, I just try to execute the command through the link
[06:39] <Volker> watching Hostage
[06:39] <LordKeiden> zyth, what is the command to change vid drivers. i should be able to change to a vesa driver and be stable if it is the driver, right?
[06:39] <makuseru> hi, when i do an "apt-get update" i get these errors http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6672/ how can i resolve this
[06:39] <zyth> Trixsey, yes... check the startup script (if matlab is a script) and see if you need to edit it to chdir to your home dir or something.
[06:40] <headphase> hello
[06:40] <zyth> LordKeiden, you can edit your xorg.conf or run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server - and usually vesa drivers work well, but for some reason on my radeon 9600 they hard lock :)  Go figure.
[06:40] <zyth> so ymmv
[06:40] <Trixsey> zyth, matlab is in my homedir ya, and yeah I have a wrapper/script to execute matlab -_-
[06:40] <zyth> Trixsey, make it chdir to the matlab location
[06:40] <kevman> Is anyone else having trouble getting archives out of us.archive.ubuntu.com ?
[06:40] <zyth> the script.. might make a difference
[06:41] <kevman> Becuase I can't install anything on two different computers.
[06:41] <Explosif> hey all, so I got my S-video connection semi working with my mobility 9600, Its just in black and white and is flickering pretty bad, any advice on how to fix this?
[06:41] <LordKeiden> zyth, thanks...and i have found ati cards to be the anit-logic for what should and shouldnt work  =)
[06:41] <headphase> I changed my GdmXserverTimeout to 50, but it still only gives me 10 sec for my xgl to boot up.
[06:41] <tim167> its wobbly indeed :D
[06:41] <headphase> what could be overriding it?
[06:41] <zyth> LordKeiden, np, and yeah, they're weird.  lol
[06:41] <Trixsey> zyth, the file in /usr/bin is empty! :S
[06:42] <kevman> I have Xgl with ATI. Its nice.a
[06:42] <Volker> later evryone
[06:42] <Volker> going to pass out
[06:42] <LordKeiden> zyth but when they work , they are sweet!
[06:42] <zyth> Trixsey, type 'which matlab'
[06:43] <Trixsey> zyth, the file is huge :/
[06:43] <Trixsey> where do I find it?
[06:43] <zyth> Trixsey, 'which matlab' should tell you where it is
[06:43] <zyth> I dunno otherwise.
[06:43] <Trixsey> it did
[06:43] <Trixsey> I am in the file now
[06:43] <Trixsey> I meant the file :P
[06:43] <cmdrlanc> zerodni: ctrl alt F1 does not come back here, and sudo fstab does nothing.
[06:43] <zyth> its a script?
[06:44] <Trixsey> ya
[06:44] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, are you in x
[06:44] <zerodni> that will be ctrl alt f7
[06:44] <zyth> make your own shell script that does cd /home/Trixsey and then runs that matlab script
[06:44] <cmdrlanc> zerodni: X what?
[06:44] <zyth> Trixsey, see if it works
[06:45] <zerodni> its sudo less /etc/fstab
[06:45] <Trixsey> zyth, I dont have to be in my home dir to launch it
[06:45] <Flannel> you don't need to use sudo to less your fstab
[06:45] <zerodni> and if F1 doesnt come back to the installer try F1 -7
[06:45] <Trixsey> its installed
[06:45] <cmdrlanc> zerodni: so c a f2 sudo less /etc/fstab and then c a F7 to come back here?
[06:46] <Flannel> cmdrlanc: except without the sudo, yes.  exactly.
[06:46] <zerodni> yeah i guess you would be in Su at that point
[06:46] <zyth> Trixsey, yes, but it works when you run it from your home dir in terminal and doesnt work from the launcher in X.
[06:46] <Flannel> zerodni, no you wouldn't.  But fstab is readable by normal users, so it doesn't matter.
[06:47] <dewey> good day mates
[06:47] <Deaglebear> whats the best vnc client to use for ubuntu if ur wanting to access it from a windows machine
[06:48] <Trixsey> cd /home/trixsey \n matlab &
[06:48] <Trixsey> like that?
[06:48] <zerodni> Flannel, yeah that right on ubuntu i changed my file permits
[06:49] <cmdrlanc> zerodni: ok it worked. "unionfs/unionfs rw 00" (next line) "tmpfs/tmp tmpfs nosuid, nodev 00"
[06:49] <zyth> Trixsey, something like yes.  I am assuming you know how to make a working shells script
[06:49] <nq> ADSL speed become slower and slower, I have to reconnect to bring back speed, then the speed go down AGAIN (ipv6 disabled)
[06:50] <zerodni> hmm cmdrlanc
[06:50] <thorre> greetings
[06:50] <Deaglebear> whats a good vnc client to use if ur wanting to access it from a windows machine
[06:51] <thorre> please explain this log message to me: dhclient: No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.
[06:51] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, is that the only line
[06:51] <thorre> does it mean that my isp is not giving me a ip at the time this message occures in my log?
[06:51] <cmdrlanc> it's two lines
[06:52] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, ok so its not yet writing your mount points for your hd
[06:52] <Talaman> when you do a gdmsetup, what file does that write to?
[06:52] <Talaman> or what file calls the gdm?
[06:52] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, do you know how your hard drives are setup in the machine
[06:52] <cmdrlanc> zero: no, that is where the install is stuck
[06:52] <pavs> whats installations does "apt-get autoremove' remove?
[06:53] <cmdrlanc> zero: there is only one
[06:53] <Deaglebear> does anyone know a good vnc client to use if ur wanting to access it from a windows machine
[06:53] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, is it set as master
[06:53] <cmdrlanc> zero: yes
[06:53] <cmdrlanc> zero: the other is external
[06:53] <kevman> Hey guyz, where do I put a command that I want to run every time I boot?
[06:54] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, what mother board are you using if you know and i also recomend not having the external hooked up when you install
[06:55] <psykidellic> cafueg_, trixsey, OKIE. Just booted in Ubuntu. Doing ifup eth0 gives - Ignoring Unknown interface eth0=eth0
[06:55] <pavs> whats installations does "apt-get autoremove' remove?
[06:56] <ardchoille> pavs: auroremove removes packages which are no longer used.
[06:57] <Deaglebear> can someone give me some advice on what vnc is the best if ur going to be accessing it from a windows system
[06:57] <ardchoille> pavs: ie, if you want to remove app1 and it had dep1 and dep2 as deps, autoremove would remove app1, dep1 and dep2.
[06:57] <ardchoille> pavs: As long as dep1 and dep2 aren't used by other apps
[06:57] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, another thing is to run dmesg to see what errors you are getting form c +a + F2
[06:57] <pavs> gotit thanks :)
[06:58] <kevman> Hey, where do I put a command that I want to run every time I boot?
[06:58] <ardchoille> pavs: You must be on Edgy, cuz the apt-get in Dapper didn't have that option.
[06:58] <Wuilliam> Hi yo all, a question: if i have 1 IDE primary master, and a SATA connected in slot 0, for the GRUB which one take the hd0 place, it is for install the grub, who is the first, the sata or IDE
[06:58] <pavs> I am on edgy
[06:58] <pizza> Can someone help me with a bluetooth problem? Recently installed Edgy, trying to make my mouse connect on startup.
[06:59] <icicled> how do i disable the sound that comes up when gdm starts
[06:59] <icicled> w/o blacklisting my sound module :P
[07:00] <shatrat> pizza, I dont know how much help it is, but I had to uninstall some bluetooth related stuff to get my logitech bluetooth mouse and keyboard to work every time at startup without unplugging it and plugging it back in.  I cant remember exactly what though, wireless was so annying I got rid of them.  I remember I go th einfo off ubuntuforums.org somewhere though
[07:00] <Jackz> what is the command for moving folders through the terminal? sudo cp /original/path /new/path  ?
[07:00] <shatrat> Jackz, well, thats for copying.  for moving its "mv"
[07:00] <Gumby> Jackz: add a -R to that
[07:01] <cafuego_> Gumby: -a, just in case.
[07:01] <pizza> shatrat: yeah, there is some bluetooth stuff there already. but I apt-get installed bluez-utils, but the config file i'm supposed to edit, as well as the whole folder, is not in /etc
[07:01] <Trixsey> zyth, I made a .sh file but I can't execute it without sudo *lol*
[07:01] <zyth> Trixsey, sudo chmod +x script.sh
[07:01] <Jackz> What are these -R and -a?
[07:01] <Wuilliam> hi to all, need help, for the GRUB who is hd0, if i have an IDE conected like a primary master and a SATA conected in slot 0??? can some1 help me???
[07:01] <shatrat> pizza, ah, well mine was fixed by uninstalling bluez-utils I believe
[07:02] <shatrat> pizza, either way, wireless is a pain in the neck.  USB for life.
[07:02] <Wuilliam> i need to install ubuntu in sata discj
[07:02] <pizza> how do i uninstall things in linux? completely new :(.
[07:02] <pizza> shatrat: well in windows it works fine
[07:02] <Trixsey> zyth, ok.. same problem now
[07:02] <pizza> and i have internal bluetooth on this mac, might as well use it
[07:02] <Trixsey> still not working :p
[07:02] <shatrat> pizza, apt-get remove whatever-package-name
[07:02] <icicled> pizza, use synaptic to add/remove packages
[07:02] <icicled> or use apt-get remove
[07:02] <pizza> oh thanks
[07:02] <ardchoille> zyth: That won't help
[07:02] <zyth> ardchoille, weird, I can run scripts not as root
[07:02] <zerodni> pizza, apt-get remove --purge package name
[07:02] <cmdrlan1> zero: this is what I am looking at.....http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/cmdrlanc/stuff/Screenshot.png
[07:03] <Jackz> Okay, now, my folder has a space in its name.. will this pose a problem when trying to copy it?
[07:03] <ardchoille> zyth: a script owned by root, sudo chmod +x will enable it executable for the root user.
[07:03] <Trixsey> zyth, I could run it.. but it doesn't work still.. it only shows spash screen
[07:03] <Trixsey> zyth, just the same as only using "matlab &"
[07:04] <needtoknow> 1 gb goes to swap
[07:04] <needtoknow> Use 1 gb swap
[07:04] <ardchoille> zyth: You would need to sudo chmod a+x to make it executable for all users.
[07:04] <zyth> ardchoille, ahh
[07:04] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, do you have a dual boot system on this thing or is it all alone
[07:05] <cmdrlanc> zero: I was going for dual boot when all hell broke loose
[07:05] <zerodni> and sorry cmdrlanc i forgot you use live cd's now to install
[07:05] <zerodni> ah do you have windows on it now
[07:05] <Talaman> or what file calls the gdm?
[07:05] <Trixsey> I dont get this at all
[07:06] <needtoknow> MAKE SURE YOU USE 1 GB SWAP
[07:06] <ardchoille> Anyone gnome which widget set or theme is used in gnome when the gnome-settings-caemon isn't running? It's the same theme as the gdm screen uses.
[07:06] <needtoknow> WHAT EVER AMOUNT YOU WANT YOU UBUNTU TO BE ON /
[07:06] <needtoknow> :-) all set
[07:06] <|_SpY_|> anybody knows how i install kiba-dock ?
[07:06] <cmdrlanc> zero: yes, but windows won't boot either now
[07:06] <zooted_> Hello. Where can I find instructions for rebuilding my initrd with LVM support?
[07:07] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, yeah the mbr was messed up do you care to wipe it out
[07:07] <cmdrlanc> zero: as last resort
[07:08] <zerodni> well if you click the format boxes that should fix it it trying to mount / to an unformated system
[07:08] <|_SpY_|> anybody knows how i install kiba-dock ?
[07:08] <zerodni> but you may want to try to recover your windows first
[07:09] <cmdrlanc> or at least get my mail out of there...
[07:09] <bwlang> zooted_: man mkinitramfs
[07:09] <cmdrlanc> zero, can't find windows disk...
[07:09] <zerodni> in the ternaml you can do sudo mkdir /mnt/hda
[07:10] <Sephiroth> Alright, I'm trying to install this package (http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/edgy/graphics/gtk-engines-pixmap) through apt-get, but I'm getting a "This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source" message in my Terminal. What did I do wrong? :
[07:10] <zerodni> and then do mount /dev/hda /mnt/hda
[07:10] <cmdrlanc> zero, I think I already did that...
[07:10] <bwlang> Spehiroth: are you pinning?
[07:10] <zerodni> can you get in to that folder
[07:10] <Sephiroth> pinning? O.o
[07:11] <cmdrlanc> zero, yes, can get into windows folder....or could before reboot
[07:11] <tim167> |_SpY_|: i'm going to try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=268645
[07:12] <zerodni> ok then you windows part is still there but your mbr is just mesed up now you could try booting to a windows disk and runing fdisk /mbr to repair your mbr
[07:12] <bwlang> Sephiroth: i guess not...  if you have more than one release (eg edgy)named in your  sources.list this can happen.
[07:12] <pizza> what's the syntax for changing permissions on folders/files to allow me to edit them without being root?
[07:12] <bwlang> pizza: man chmod
[07:12] <cmdrlanc> zero, can't find win boot disk
[07:12] <zerodni> but that is about all i know on the winndows side dont know much about windows
[07:12] <pizza> chmod what
[07:12] <Trixsey> Hey! I added a Matlab link under Applications -> Education. When I click it only the spash screen comes up, the program doesn't actually start. But when I do "matlab &" in terminal (the very same command as the link executes) it works. Tips?
[07:12] <asdez> Can somebody help me @ Ubuntu installation? I have a big error :(
[07:13] <Sephiroth> bwlang: The thing is, I had to reinstall Ubuntu, and I'm trying to reinstall the packages I had on here. :p
[07:13] <makuseru> hi, when i "apt-get update" i get this error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6674/ how can i fix this?
[07:13] <ashaffer> How can I view my windows network in workgroup mshome through terminal?
[07:13] <zerodni> ashaffer, smbmount :p
[07:13] <seravitae> use smb
[07:13] <seravitae> yeah
[07:13] <asdez> I have a problem with the XServer at the installation of UBuntu
[07:14] <seravitae> Is there any program for benchmarking my pc?
[07:14] <cypher1> ashaffer, you can try the smb* comments
[07:14] <Lucifel> What's a good replacement for PeerGuardian 2?
[07:14] <bwlang> Sephiroth: better send the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/preferences to a pastebin
[07:14] <ashaffer> okay, I'll check that out
[07:14] <mattwj2005> Ubuntu is awesome :)
[07:15] <cypher1> ashaffer, like smbtree scans your network for smb servers
[07:15] <bwlang> seravitae: bonnie++ is good for testing your disk... there are some graphics benchmarking programs... depends on what you're interested in.
[07:17] <mattwj2005> who would ever image that something so good could be free :)
[07:17] <mattwj2005> *imagine
[07:17] <zerodni> mattwj2005, debian about 15 years go :p i kid
[07:18] <killux> i need help with beryl on dapper
[07:18] <mattwj2005> good point good point
[07:18] <Gks2> what u need killux
[07:18] <killux> everytime i try to load it it fall backs to metacity
[07:18] <killux> I dont know why
[07:18] <killux> i have 3D accel for my ati card
[07:19] <killux> and i followed the instrctions on beryls wiki
[07:19] <Gks2> same thing here
[07:19] <eric_> wtf?
[07:19] <tim167> wow
[07:19] <Gks2> when i change a theme i've download on gnome-themes-manager
[07:19] <Jackz> Deadly.
[07:19] <Gks2> crasch
[07:19] <pianoboy3333> netsplit?
[07:19] <shorty114> eric_, netsplit
[07:19] <cmdrlanc> ALL: zero?
[07:19] <Gks2> *crash
[07:19] <pianoboy3333> !netsplit
[07:20] <cpk1> that was a good one
[07:20] <zerodni> im here :p
[07:20] <ubotu> netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit
[07:20] <shorty114> cpk1, yup :D
[07:20] <Jackz> cp: omitting directory `/media/hdb1/WC3'
[07:20] <Jackz>  It's omitting the only thing I want to copy!
[07:20] <eric_> what is netsplit??
[07:20] <Sephiroth> bwlang: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6675/ and the other file doesn't exist.
[07:20] <cpk1> !netsplit
[07:20] <tim167> yeah what netsplit ?
[07:20] <cmdrlanc> zero: that command didn't work...cannot see files
[07:20] <Gks2> You tried to update your dapper?
[07:21] <Deaglebear> hey what is the best vnc client to use
[07:21] <killux> anyone know how i can tell why this happens?
[07:21] <Jackz> cp: omitting directory `/media/hdb1/WC3'
[07:21] <Jackz> Why would my folder be omitted from the copy?
[07:21] <zerodni> try sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda /mnt/hda make sure that folder is there in /mnt/hda
[07:21] <shorty114> Deaglebear, you could try openvnc
[07:21] <Deaglebear> is it secure?
[07:22] <Deaglebear> and can i access my linuxbox then from windows?
[07:22] <cmdrlanc> zero: long error message
[07:22] <killux> how can i tell why beryl keeps falling back on metacity
[07:22] <Gonzo> hey guys, is it possible to skip the partitioning step in the installer?
[07:22] <killux> ??
[07:22] <cmdrlanc> zero: wrong fs type
[07:22] <Gonzo> or to run the installer in text mode with the live cd
[07:22] <zerodni> hmm is it windows xp
[07:22] <Gonzo> i wanna use a swap file instead of swap partition
[07:23] <bwlang> Sephiroth: what happend when you do an apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade?
[07:23] <zerodni> Gonzo, you are using a swap file :p everything in linux is a file
[07:23] <eric_> whats the difference between apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade ??
[07:23] <cmdrlanc> zero: yes XP home
[07:23] <pizza> haha, read/write by all is 666
[07:23] <Gonzo> ... well the installer wants me to actualy create a swap aprtition
[07:23] <Gonzo> and i dont want that
[07:24] <Sephiroth> bwlang: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[07:24] <Deaglebear> shorty114 is it secure and can i acess it from windows
[07:24] <killux> then dont use a swap partition
[07:24] <Gonzo> the installer wont let me
[07:24] <bwlang> Gonzo: go ahead... just allocate the file using dd if=/dev/zero ... then mkswap on the file then do swapon file then add it to your fstab
[07:24] <shorty114> Deaglebear, i'm not sure about the secure part (check the website) but i think it's for windows too, yes
[07:24] <Gonzo> i did that
[07:24] <mau> has anybody had luck with a Radeon X800 XL monitor card?
[07:24] <Gonzo> but the installer will not let me install without me creating a swap partition
[07:25] <zerodni> upgrade upgrades just the packages you installed and dist-upgrades installs new packages for the distro
[07:25] <Lucifel> Could anyone recommend a replacement for PeerGuardian?
[07:25] <killux> how can i tell if 3d accel is working
[07:25] <bwlang> Gonzo: only if you don't have enough ram...  if you have to you can drop into a shell and do it in there... never tried it
[07:25] <Gonzo> i have 2gig...
[07:25] <zerodni> hey cmdrlanc see if it is mounted in /media
[07:25] <Gonzo> whats the shell command to kick off the installer?
[07:25] <psykidellic> Ok, so I am manuall trying to setup my network card like mentioned at: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/2005.0/handbook-amd64.xml?part=1&chap=3#ifconfig_route but I am getting the same error as: http://murrey.inferential.com/pipermail/pplug/2005-March/000074.html . I did modprobe 3c59x and the module is correctly loaded but still the network card is not detected!
 i dont understand the difference...
[07:26] <psykidellic> so, is the only option left for me is to compile the kernel or the module?
[07:26] <Sephiroth> bwlang: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6678/
[07:26] <cmdrlanc> zero: no..media empty
[07:26] <bwlang> Sephiroth: hmm  and sudo apt-get install gtk-engines-pixmap doesn't work?   works fine for me...
[07:26] <Gonzo> ...
[07:26] <zerodni> eric_, less say you have a server and you want to make sure nothing gets installed or removed but you want to do secury updates apt-get upgrade is what you want to do
[07:27] <eric_> ok
[07:27] <Sephiroth> bwlang: E: Couldn't find package gtk-engines-pixmap
[07:27] <eric_> ohh ok
[07:27] <zerodni> eric_, but let say you want to upgrade to  to etch or edgy or what ever you want the new packages that come with the new version
[07:27] <killux> does anyone here use beryl????
[07:28] <bwlang> Sephiroth: i'm stumped.... your sources list looks fine to me... the update works, but you can't actually install.  maybe someone else has an idea.
[07:28] <zerodni> dude stain lee was on heroes
[07:28] <eric_> so dist-update is for updating your distro only?
[07:28] <zerodni> that is awsome
[07:28] <zerodni> eric_, not nessary but in genral yes
[07:28] <killux> i need help from a beryl master!
[07:28] <eric_> oh, i see
[07:29] <eric_> thank you <zerodni>
[07:29] <zerodni> eric_, np
[07:29] <cmdrlanc> zerodni: no, media empty
[07:29] <zerodni> hmm cmdrlanc
[07:29] <bwlang> eric_ dist-upgrade can do deletion of other packages to get things working... sometimes you need that.
[07:29] <eric_> but that deletion is automatic?
[07:29] <zerodni> bwlang, yep you are correct
[07:30] <eric_> or does it require input from the user
[07:30] <bwlang> eric_: it asks first.. .but yes
[07:30] <eric_> oh ok ok..
[07:30] <cmdrlanc> zero: blanky had me mount something to media before, but it went away when I had to reboot
[07:30] <zerodni> yeah becase of the live cd
[07:30] <eric_> so then, what if i wanted to upgrade my edgy 6.10 to 7.04 alpha herd 5; how would i do that??
[07:31] <eric_> i mean herd 4
[07:31] <bytewalker> are there any repositoryies i can add to get stuff like nethack and tuxracer?
[07:31] <xavice> Woohoo.
[07:32] <cmdrlanc> zero: if you know what he did...mounting whatever to media worked.
 HOw can you hide all desktop icons
 besides removing them
[07:32] <zerodni> try sudo mount /dev/hda /media
[07:33] <mtholdenss> anyone here run myth tv?
[07:33] <radar1976> help!!  grrr I'm pulling my hair out!
[07:33] <radar1976> I have setup my v-hosts on apache 2 but they are only loading the _default_ host
[07:33] <mau> hey mthoid, i'm doing research now in building one

[07:34] <radar1976> I even copied the config from the original server
[07:34] <radar1976> why is it not working???
[07:34] <poningru> radar1976: what kinda v-host?
[07:34] <mneptok> radar1976: what does apache's access log tell you?
[07:34] <poningru> radar1976: user-dir?
[07:34] <radar1976> no user-dir
[07:34] <Trixsey> Hey! I added a Matlab link under Applications -> Education. When I click it only the spash screen comes up, the program doesn't actually start. But when I do "matlab &" in terminal (the very same command as the link executes) it works. Tips?
[07:35] <zerodni> i just want to say that tivodec is the best package ever
[07:35] <radar1976> I'm hosting some websites..
[07:35] <radar1976> www. websites
[07:35] <radar1976> the logs are not showing anything

[07:35] <IRChris> anyone can help me with su root?
[07:35] <poningru> can you describe all the steps you took?
[07:35] <cmdrlanc> zero: am I losing you to heroes here?
[07:35] <radar1976> I didn't use that config I have a vhosts.conf file which is an include in apache2.conf
[07:35] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, no your not its off now
[07:35] <poningru> IRCArch: whats wrong?
[07:35] <zerodni> lol
[07:36] <IRChris> well poningru, it asks for a root password
[07:36] <zerodni> the mount command should work was it hda that he had you do
[07:36] <IRChris> for su
[07:36] <d00d> mneptok, thanks
[07:36] <IRChris> and it never asked for one
[07:36] <cmdrlanc> zeor: yeah..I think so
[07:36] <oreth> where is wine's file system?
[07:36] <radar1976> webmin will show all the vhosts but when I reload /restart apache, typing the website results in the default root server page
[07:36] <poningru> IRCArch: sudo su
[07:36] <xavice> Just a question, does anyone know any games similar to NetHack that is/are worth trying?
[07:37] <IRChris> poningru: i was trying to install wine, so i could use sudo su commands for that?
[07:37] <mtholdenss> mau, me and my dad want to do a project together and build a small box pc with ubuntu on it with myth tv like a media box, so im looking into it too!
[07:37] <poningru> IRCArch: yes
[07:37] <poningru> IRCArch: how are you installing wine?
[07:37] <IRChris> by a terminal?
[07:37] <zooted_> Is anyone here running 6.10 on an LVM install?  I need to see a proper LVM /boot/grub/menu.lst, and a proper /etc/fstab.  If someone could post their setup to a pastebin I would greatly appreciate it.
[07:37] <poningru> yes but what command?
[07:37] <poningru> also why the terminal?
[07:37] <poningru> why not synaptic
[07:37] <poningru> !install

[07:38] <ubotu> 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
[07:38] <poningru> yeah thats it
[07:38] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, right now the best thing i can tell you is to reboot start from scratch on the live cd go in to mycomputer and see you can find the hda drive there right click on it and mount it
[07:38] <poningru> IRCArch: ^^^
[07:38] <poningru> what ubotu said after I typed in !software
[07:38] <IRChris> i tried to look for wine on the package manager, but there was a long list that had nothing with wine :/
[07:38] <zerodni> also cmdrlanc does the windows install take the whole harddrive
[07:38] <radar1976> typing www.thefishypond.com is suppose to load a webpage but it is loading the root dri
[07:38] <radar1976> err dir
[07:39] <IRChris> brb
[07:40] <Sephiroth> bwlang: I figured it out.. Apparently I needed to enable the 'universe' repository.
[07:40] <cmdrlanc> zero: no....not even close
[07:40] <zerodni> ah ok good
[07:40] <cmdrlanc> brb
[07:41] <IRChris> is there a specific page on installing wine?
[07:42] <IRChris> i'd like to run wine, if so i wouldnt need to dual boot
[07:42] <kungfugoat> anybody have any info on setting up a pptp VPN client?
[07:42] <poningru> !wine | IRCArch
[07:42] <ubotu> IRCArch: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[07:42] <poningru> err
[07:42] <poningru> !wine | IRChris

[07:47] <IRChris> poningru: couldnt you install by a terminal apt-get install wine?
[07:47] <Trixsey> Hey! I added a Matlab link under Applications -> Education. When I click it only the spash screen comes up, the program doesn't actually start. But when I do "matlab &" in terminal (the very same command as the link executes) it works. Tips?
[07:47] <poningru> IRChris: yes through sudo apt-get install
[07:47] <poningru> but why?
[07:47] <poningru> just use synaptic
[07:47] <poningru> for new people its better
[07:47] <poningru> and easier
[07:47] <bytewalker> kk 1 more thing.. whats the metapackage to install all the stuff i need to compile c programs? ( and should i get gcc or gcc 4.0)
[07:47] <IRChris> when i tried the package manager it wouldnt come up
[07:48] <Nergar> mneptok, java 6 plugin
[07:48] <mneptok> Nergar: not yet in the repos
[07:48] <IRChris> nothing about wine would come up though so thats my problem :S
[07:48] <zerodni> bytewalker, apt-get install build-essesales
[07:48] <zerodni> wait i misspelled
[07:48] <Nergar> but were can i get it?
[07:48] <mneptok> build-essential
[07:48] <zerodni> build-essential
[07:48] <zerodni> ah beat me :p
[07:49] <IRChris> poningru: it asked for a password that way though, which i tried my login pass, didnt work
[07:49] <bytewalker> thanx
[07:50] <needtoknow> Use the admin pass
[07:50] <poningru> IRChris: it should have
[07:50] <poningru> worked that is
[07:51] <poningru> sudo just uses your password
[07:51] <IRChris> hrm..
[07:51] <IRChris> i'll try again
[07:51] <jellobean> does anyone here have ubuntu installed on a computer with a SATA HD?
[07:51] <kevman> Is there a way to make icons appear on the right hand side of the desktop by default?
[07:51] <nickreynolds> ok guys here is my problem, i have my ubuntu server setting in another room with only power and a network hooked up to it. I want to do GNOME from the windows machine i'm on now. I have to iniate a session in order to do this with VNC. How do i iniate a session from SSH on my windows machine
[07:52] <mneptok> nickreynolds: you don't need VNC. you have X.
[07:52] <mneptok> nickreynolds: look into Win32 X clients.
[07:52] <nickreynolds> ?
[07:52] <nickreynolds> ok
[07:53] <nickreynolds> oh i see
[07:53] <nickreynolds> i have to enable x11 fowarding
[07:53] <mneptok> X is a local AND remote windowing system.
[07:53] <nickreynolds> then have an x cliient on my side
[07:53] <Nergar> mneptok, do you know if i can get it else where?
[07:53] <Nergar> the mozilla plugin?
[07:53] <nickreynolds> know of any good win32 X clients
[07:53] <mneptok> Nergar: i stay with the packaged versions.
[07:53] <cmdrlanc> zero: can see hda in /dev but can't get it to do anything
[07:54] <Nergar> D:
[07:54] <Deaglebear> anyone know a good vnc client for linux besides openvnc
[07:54] <edmondt> hi guys :)
[07:54] <mneptok> Nergar: but i'm sure if you sit ani think about the question "where do i get the bleeding edge Java" the answer will come to you.
[07:54] <mneptok> *and
[07:54] <edmondt> haven't used irc for like 6 years :P
[07:54] <zerodni> cmdrlanc,  do this in termamal sudo fdisk -l
[07:55] <mneptok> edmondt: you didn't miss much.
[07:55] <edmondt> hehe oh well :S
[07:55] <cmdrlanc> zero: ok..now what?
[07:55] <spiderworm> does anyone know how to do an apt-cache search among installed packages?
[07:55] <IRChris> sudo apt-get install WINE <-- is that the command i need?
[07:55] <zerodni> do you see your windows drive ?
[07:56] <spiderworm> IRChris: probably, but wine all lower-case
[07:56] <edmondt> I hope we can sync to this: http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/the-apple-iphone/
[07:56] <IRChris> ok
[07:56] <spiderworm> IRChris: plus, you need to make sure you have the right repo installed
[07:56] <cmdrlanc> zero: yes hda1
[07:56] <zerodni> ah good
[07:56] <IRChris> repo?
[07:56] <spiderworm> IRChris: if apt gives you an error that it cant find that package, then i'll help you add the other repo
[07:56] <Deaglebear> cmdrlanc whats agood vnc client that isnt open vnc
[07:57] <IRChris> ok, it gave me a list
[07:57] <cmdrlanc> deagle: no idea...new here
[07:57] <spiderworm> IRChris: yes, a repo is a server with software that your computer can automatically download and install
[07:57] <nickreynolds> anyone know of any good and free Win32 X clients
[07:57] <IRChris> ok, the list had things "depends"
[07:57] <spiderworm> IRChris: if the wine software isnt on one of the repos your computer is already configured to work with, you'll need to install another repo
[07:58] <zerodni> sudo mkdir /media/hda1 then sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/hda1
[07:58] <IRChris> so..
[07:58] <spiderworm> does anyone know how to do an apt-cache search among installed packages?
[07:58] <Deaglebear> anyone know of a good free and easy to install vnc client im really in need of one
[07:58] <Flannel> spiderworm: what do you mean?
[07:58] <spiderworm> IRChris: if it depends on other packages, try installing those first
[07:58] <IRChris> so install another server (repo) that might have the wine package?
[07:58] <Deaglebear> flannel ur like all knowing whats a good vnc client
[07:58] <spiderworm> Flannel: im trying to figure out what programs matching the string 'ntp' are installed on the system
[07:58] <Flannel> IRChris: wine is in universe, you'll need to enable universe.
[07:59] <radar1976> ok...should I paste my config online?
[07:59] <IRChris> Flannel:  how would i do that?
[07:59] <Flannel> spiderworm: dpkg -l | grep ntp
[07:59] <cmdrlanc> zero: you do not have necc perm to view
[07:59] <Flannel> !universe | IRChris
[07:59] <ubotu> IRChris: 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
[07:59] <factorx> Isn't there any RADIUS server available in ubuntu dapper repositories? I couldn't find one via apt-cache search radius...
[07:59] <Deaglebear> ircchris open synaptic and goto settings and repositories and look for universe stuff
[07:59] <Flannel> spiderworm, see also https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/serverguide/C/NTP.html
[08:00] <IRChris> thank you
[08:00] <edmondt> has anyone been able to sync their WM5 with opensync?
[08:00] <Deaglebear> flannel whats a good vnc server/client to use
[08:00] <spiderworm> Flannel: thanks
[08:00] <zooted_> When using LVM, are the UUIDs in /etc/fstab the e2fs UUIDs, or the LVM UUIDs?
[08:00] <Flannel> factorx: yes.  Must be in universe, there are quite a few.
[08:00] <Shadowpillar> who here is familiar with chmod?
[08:01] <Flannel> zooted_: logical volume UUIDs, LVM abstracts away physical disks
[08:01] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, do sudo -s
[08:01] <thekidrio> anyone here use an ebay auction manager?
[08:01] <Flannel> Deaglebear: no idea.  I don't have X
[08:01] <zerodni> then cd  /media/hda1
[08:01] <Shadowpillar> what should the default permissions be to a directory?
[08:01] <Deaglebear> :( well darn
[08:01] <Flannel> Shadowpillar: Depends on the directory
[08:01] <nickreynolds> open VNC is good
[08:01] <factorx> Flannel: Thank you, I'll give it a try
[08:01] <Flannel> !vnc | Deaglebear, this might help
[08:01] <ubotu> Deaglebear, this might help: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX
[08:01] <Shadowpillar> Flannel: my home directory
[08:02] <Shadowpillar> I just forgot what it was supposed to be
[08:02] <Shadowpillar> luckily this doesn't affect my desktop system
[08:02] <Shadowpillar> someone else messed up a remote account of mine
[08:02] <Flannel> Shadowpillar: by default they're 755
[08:02] <edmondt> FreeNX is really good
[08:02] <Shadowpillar> and I'm trying to fix it
[08:02] <thekidrio> anyone here use orkshun?
[08:02] <edmondt> VNC is just jerky on Edgy
[08:02] <ByTeWaLKeR> i have problem with ym video card its a radeon but it crashes my entire system whenever it tries to use acceleration like for planetpenguin or 3d screensavers
[08:03] <Shadowpillar> Flannel: thanks
[08:03] <Shadowpillar> Flannel: that helped
[08:03] <mzuverink> could someone tell me how to determin what user and group apache2 runs as?
[08:03] <ByTeWaLKeR> it juz totally freezes (except the mouse stil works)
[08:03] <ByTeWaLKeR> any nerds her ehave any ideas?
[08:03] <Flannel> mzuverink: www-data:www-data
[08:03] <tritium> ByTeWaLKeR: take it easy with the insults
[08:03] <radar1976> the only changes from the two servers are the IP and directory locations
[08:04] <radar1976> thats it
[08:04] <radar1976> why isn't the vhosts working on the new server
[08:04] <Crescendo> How can I edit the settings for my screensavers?
[08:04] <mzuverink> Flannel, just type that into a terminal?
[08:04] <Flannel> mzuverink: er, what?
[08:04] <mzuverink> sorry, got confused
[08:05] <mzuverink> Flannel, wrong window
[08:05] <Flannel> mzuverink: /lastlog radar1976
[08:05] <Flannel> ack, sorry.
[08:05] <radar1976> huh?
[08:05] <zooted_> Flannel: are you using LVM for your root install?  If so could you please check "/sbin/dumpe2fs /dev/volgroup/logvol | grep UUID" against the output of lvdisplay and compare it to the values in /etc/fstab, and /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[08:05] <Flannel> radar1976: you just need to put your vhost file in sites-enabled (put it in sites-available and symlink to sites-enabled)
[08:06] <Flannel> zooted_: I don't have edgy, no UUIDs
[08:06] <incorrect> my mysql update fails :(
[08:06] <radar1976> Flannel, I didn't have that on the old server
[08:06] <Deaglebear> im in need of some advice on a vnc client i have xubuntu
[08:06] <Flannel> radar1976: what distro is on the old server?
[08:06] <radar1976> I have copied the config from the old server to the new server
[08:06] <radar1976> ubuntu 6.10
[08:06] <cmdrlanc> zero: I can get into the dir old dos style but how to I go back up levels?
[08:06] <radar1976> and the new one is the same
[08:06] <Flannel> radar1976: er... you DO have that on the old server.
[08:06] <IRChris> You can enable the universe component by editing the file "/etc/apt/sources.list" after installing Ubuntu.
[08:06] <IRChris> how could i edit it?
[08:06] <radar1976> one is ppc and hthe other  is i686
[08:07] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, its cd ..
[08:07] <IRChris> i'm in the sources.list but not sure what to edit?
[08:07] <radar1976> both server are 6.10
[08:07] <Flannel> radar1976: that doesn't matter.  You do have sites-enabled and sites-default on the old server, those are your vhosts.
[08:07] <ByTeWaLKeR> hmm ok whats the closest torrent program to utorrent for loonix?
[08:07] <radar1976> the only file in sites-enabled on the old server is 000-default
[08:07] <Flannel> radar1976: rigt, that's the default one
[08:07] <radar1976> that is also on the new server
[08:07] <DarkClown> anyone know a good tool to load and unload an Ipod in linux?
[08:08] <Gumby> DarkClown: gtkpod
[08:08] <elyon225> Could someone recommend a good video editor?  Specifically, I'd like to edit my videos shot on my HDD camcorder (.mod format).
[08:08] <radar1976> the vhosts.conf file is in /etc/apache on the old server and it worked with no problem
[08:08] <Flannel> radar1976: er, then whoever set that up did stuff wrong.
[08:08] <DarkClown> Gunby: thanks :)
[08:08] <Flannel> radar1976: ubuntu doesn't use a vhosts.conf file, uses /sites-*/ instead
[08:09] <rpc> how can i cut exactly 8 first characters of a line? i could use sed for that but perhaps it can be done easier in bash?
[08:09] <radar1976> Flannel, no it just organizes the vhosts
[08:09] <cafuego_> radar1976: Just drop vhosts.conf into /etc/apache2/conf.d
[08:09] <radar1976> you CAN use a vhosts.conf file that is NOT in the sites-enabled
[08:09] <radar1976> cafuego, thats where it is
[08:09] <cafuego_> radar1976: A restart should pick it up, then.
[08:09] <Flannel> radar1976: Pastebin that file, we'll figure out where it should go.
[08:10] <radar1976> sites-enabled is just an easy way to organize your vhosts
[08:10] <radar1976> cafuego, I have restarted so many times... no worky
[08:10] <cmdrlanc> zero: why does it think I am not root?
[08:10] <cafuego_> radar1976: What's the error log say about it?
[08:10] <foxiness> is there a way other than "windows cd,SGD" to restore MBR like fixmbr ?
[08:10] <kidbuntu> guys i'm a newbie. whats the meaning of GNU
[08:11] <zerodni> and if you want to get the gui just type nautilus in the term
[08:11] <elyon225> !gnu | kidbuntu

[08:12] <IRChris> can someone help me with wine?
[08:12] <simpla> hi.  Anyone help me with my sound?  It was all working, I just installed mplayer last night through apt-get, and since booting up today I have no sound.
[08:12] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, you are only root in that term window :p
[08:12] <kidbuntu> Gumby: i know that. i just don't feel like googling
[08:12] <cafuego_> radar1976: is ports.conf set up properly?
[08:12] <Flannel> IRChris: you might have better luck in #winehq, they're guarenteed to know ;)
[08:13] <IRChris> ah that would help
[08:13] <Gumby> kidbuntu: you'll often find that if you arent willing to help yourself, then others wont be willing to help you either.
[08:13] <IRChris> ty
[08:13] <cmdrlanc> zero: ok...so I can see it, now what?
[08:13] <radar1976> cafuego, yes
[08:13] <Gumby> kidbuntu: people in here wont be able to spoon feed you forever
[08:13] <zerodni> now you can back up your mail and files and stuff
[08:14] <elyon225> Could someone recommend a good video editor?  Specifically, I'd like to edit my videos shot on my HDD camcorder (.mod format).

[08:28] <mattycoze> hey ppl, i was wondering if anyone knew anything about VPN client issues with Ubuntu
[08:28] <elyon225> Lotus: That doesn't do anything I would want it to.  I was a video editor, not programmer ;)
[08:29] <cmdrlanc> zero: it keeps saying no such directory
[08:29] <Lotus> elyon225: Ok, sorry ^^ : )
[08:29] <mattycoze> i believe it's a kernel error 2.6.17-11
[08:30] <ByTeWaLKeR> OO GOd tihs is gonna take awhile
[08:30] <adriyel> yawns.

[08:30] <Lotus> How can i register ??
[08:30] <Lotus> To i can send private msg ?
[08:30] <Illnor> there was something that windirstat was based off of, formerly linux only if i'm not mistaken
[08:30] <zerodni> then find the files then right click on the files and there shold be a burn to cd
[08:30] <pizza> (02:28:28 AM) AndrewB: I am sure gnome has an app..

[08:32] <AndrewB> pizza: go to terminal  type   gnome-blu[hit tab]   what comes up?
[08:32] <Illnor> KDirStat! You should all check out that program - gives a nice visual representation of your hard drives
[08:32] <pizza> AndrewB nothing happens when i press tab
[08:33] <mattycoze> hay does anyone know whether it's possible to upgrade the kernel for Ubuntu?
[08:33] <AndrewB> pizza: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=94713
[08:33] <unska_> im not on my ubuntu atm but is there a apt-get for mono (the .NET thing for wine)?
[08:33] <unska_> i tried apt-get install mono but that didn't fix it
[08:34] <Lotus> How can i register ?
[08:34] <Trixsey> Hey! I added a Matlab link under Applications -> Education. When I click it only the spash screen comes up, the program doesn't actually start. But when I do "matlab &" in terminal (the very same command as the link executes) it works. Tips?
[08:34] <elyon225> AndrewB: Okay, LiVES is extremely confusing and very slow... but thank you.
[08:34] <mneptok> unska_: Mono is installed by default. and it's not for WINE.
[08:35] <unska_> mneptok, why my wine requires mono to be installed when i try to use .NET exes?
[08:35] <radar1976> any suggestions?
[08:35] <elyon225> Could someone recommend a good video editor?  Specifically, I'd like to edit my videos shot on my HDD camcorder (.mod format).
[08:35] <mattycoze> does anyone know how to update the linux kernel for Ubuntu?
[08:35] <mneptok> unska_: because Mono is the .NET framework for Linux.
[08:35] <unska_> mattycoze, update-manager?
[08:36] <unska_> mneptok, if mono is installed by default, why can't i start any .NET framework programs?
[08:36] <unska_> and why does wine ask for mono?
[08:36] <mneptok> Trixsey: bash vs. dash i suppose.
[08:36] <AndrewB> bugger college..
[08:36] <nevron> how do i run a distrubution upgrade?
[08:36] <mattycoze> unska how do you run the update manager?
[08:36] <Trixsey> mneptok, what do I do?
[08:36] <unska_> nevron, update-manager -c -d
[08:36] <AndrewB> nevron: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[08:36] <mneptok> unska_: try #winehq. i don't use WINE.
[08:36] <nevron> which one :)
[08:36] <unska_> okay
[08:36] <AndrewB> nevron: I think either work.
[08:36] <MTecknology> I'm having a peculiar error. When I run sudo -s, i can become root; when i run sudo nano, i get a root nano; when I run sudo gedit, i get the cursor on the next line but gedit never opens; when i run gksudo, i get a gedit that opens, but there are no menus or anything - it's a non responsive program. also, after killing it, i have the same problem with the cursor being down at the next line w/o any output.
[08:37] <mneptok> Trixsey: write a script that explicitly uses bash
[08:37] <mattycoze> unska was the "update-manager -c -d" directed at me?
[08:37] <unska_> mattycoze, did it have your name? =)
[08:37] <nevron> hey it removed nv-glx
[08:37] <mattycoze> unska, soz
[08:37] <morfys> MTecknology: try reinstalling gedit :)
[08:37] <unska_> mattycoze, hah, nevermind :)
[08:38] <elyon225> mattycoze: You can run Update Manager by choosing System -> Administration -> Update Manager
[08:38] <Trixsey> mneptok, ok? how do I explicitly use bash? what is that even? normal shellscript? I tried that shellscript :(
[08:38] <AmaroqWolf> Is there a way to check whether or not I have direct sound enabled?
[08:38] <MTecknology> morfys: aighty - i get to reboot for my driver too
[08:38] <AndrewB> Trixsey: bash is most prob your default terminal enviroment
[08:38] <morfys> =)
[08:38] <nevron> AndrewB and Unska i ran dist upgrade and it removed my graphics driver is it normal?
[08:38] <AndrewB> nevron: It may be upgrading X and need to do so.
[08:38] <mattycoze> elyon225 & unska actually d.w i don;t think it's possible to update your kernel with those things
[08:39] <unska_> nevron, did it do anything else?
[08:39] <unska_> mattycoze, yes it is
[08:39] <Trixsey> AndrewB, shellscript didn't work for me
[08:39] <unska_> atleast i did update my kernel via update-manager
[08:39] <nevron> yes it did install linux-restricted-modules 2.6.17.7-10.1
[08:40] <mattycoze> oh so 2.6.17-11 is the latest kernel version for ubuntu?
[08:40] <elyon225> mattycoze: Really... well it's worked just fine for everyone I know of that has updated their kernels.
[08:40] <elyon225> mattycoze: Yes... released a week or so ago.
[08:40] <unska_> mattycoze, yeah
[08:40] <unska_> nevron, that's not a distribution update
[08:40] <mattycoze> i'm having problems connecting cisco vpn client
[08:40] <nevron> unska_ what is it
[08:40] <unska_> nevron, it's a kernel update
[08:41] <nevron> ok but why did it remove my graphics driver it is impossibkle to understand
[08:41] <unska_> nevron, when you do a update-manager, you can see the big update distribution button on the top of the update-manager window
[08:41] <unska_> nevron, it can be reinstalled, don't worry
[08:41] <nevron> of course if i can get to X with my settings
[08:41] <AndrewB> Did dapper use modular X? Maybe that is it.
[08:42] <unska> nevron, you can reinstall drivers without X
[08:42] <nevron> how do i do that?
[08:42] <mattycoze> and another guy at uni said that it's probably a kernel error that hadn't been resolved
[08:42] <unska> what card do you have?
[08:42] <kraut> moin
[08:42] <mattycoze> (he happened to be a network administrator)
[08:42] <nevron> its an nvidia 7600gs
[08:42] <mattycoze> AirForce something
[08:42] <mattycoze> d.w it works fine
[08:43] <mattycoze> i'm using it atm at home
[08:43] <unska> do sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx on the command line
[08:43] <nevron> it was using the nv-glx module and the kernel update removed the driver package
[08:43] <mattycoze> it's just i get an error message when i try to connect using the vpn client
[08:44] <nevron> ok now i have a problem with dependencies and ubuntu doesnt let me install my gfx drivers :)
[08:44] <unska> bah :p
[08:44] <unska> why it doesn't let you install them? and why can't you get to X?
[08:44] <nevron> i am on X right now but after the restart as there is no package for the driver installed i wont be able to get to X
[08:45] <unska> then why did you get to X when you installed ubuntu first time to your computer?
[08:45] <cmdrlanc> zero: I don't know
[08:45] <Trixsey> Hey! I added a Matlab link under Applications -> Education. When I click it only the spash screen comes up, the program doesn't actually start. But when I do "matlab &" in terminal (the very same command as the link executes) it works. Tips?
[08:45] <cmdrlanc> I am trying to copy and it's telling me it's read only
[08:45] <nevron> it doesnt let me install the packege because when do "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx"  This may mean that you have
[08:45] <nevron> requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
[08:45] <nevron> distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
[08:45] <nevron> or been moved out of Incoming.
[08:45] <nickreynolds> how do i remove a trusted ip from my SSH list
[08:46] <zerodni> hook up your external hd
[08:46] <elyon225> Could someone recommend a good video editor?  Specifically, I'd like to edit my videos shot on my HDD camcorder (.mod format).
[08:46] <cmdrlanc> zero: ok
[08:46] <nevron> i am now on X and using beryl actually but after the restart i wont even able to get to X
[08:46] <MTecknology> Is there anybody else having problems with running gksudo gedit or gedit sudo... I'm on feisty fawn
[08:46] <cmdrlanc> zero: I tried to copy to the external and it said "read only"
[08:47] <unska> uh nevron i have to go to work =/
[08:47] <unska> ill be here but just very busy
[08:47] <nevron> hhaahah
[08:47] <zerodni> make sure you are root
[08:47] <nevron> ok unska i guees i will downgrade my kernel to get things back to the way they were yet i have no clue howto do that
[08:48] <Ademan> about how much does edgy take up as a fresh install?
[08:48] <zerodni> or do sudo mount -o rw /dev/externalhd /media/exhd
[08:48] <zerodni> make sure to sudo mkdir /media/exhd first

[08:50] <Trixsey> mneptok, how do I do that? :(
[08:50] <zerodni> externalhd is probbly sda1
[08:52] <Illnor> i'm a foolish newb: which is preferable xgl or beryl? for the best visual effects
[08:52] <Trixsey> Illnor, XGL doesn't generate any effects on its own.. it's just an overlay :p
[08:52] <AmaroqWolf> I know that it is possible to check whether direct renduring is active by running glxinfo | grep direct. But how can I check whether direct sound is active?
[08:53] <Trixsey> Illnor, ATI users that want beryl needs XGL
[08:53] <dhorn> Hey all, I've accidently removed dpkg.  Is there any way to restore it or reinstall debian?
[08:53] <zerodni> Illnor, you mean compiz and beryl
[08:53] <AmaroqWolf> dhorn: sudo aptitude reinstall dpkg ?
[08:53] <Trixsey> dhorn, sudo apt-get install dpkg? :p
[08:53] <Illnor> I've got this Nvidia 6800GT
[08:53] <Trixsey> oh yeah, reainstall is nice too
[08:53] <AmaroqWolf> :P
[08:54] <AmaroqWolf> Trixsey: too bad apt-get doesn't seem to have reinstall.
[08:54] <dhorn> thanks, I'm new to unix
[08:54] <Trixsey> unix omg!
[08:54] <AmaroqWolf> xD
[08:54] <dhorn> linux
[08:54] <Trixsey> I thought he was on debian :p
[08:54] <ledbettj> apt-get install --reinstall dpkg? :P
[08:54] <Trixsey> :D
[08:54] <AmaroqWolf> xD apt-get has an install --reinstall?
[08:55] <ledbettj> yup
[08:55] <Trixsey> guys
[08:55] <ledbettj> kind of a strange semantic, but it gets the job done
[08:55] <Trixsey> I can't get my bloody shellscript to work
[08:55] <Trixsey> http://www.mathbin.net/8136
[08:55] <Trixsey> this is what I did :p
[08:55] <dhorn> Could not exec dpkg!
[08:55] <dhorn> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (100)
[08:55] <dhorn> That's what it says
[08:55] <torbesh> hi we are using linux on our computers. other company workers using XP, which software you suggest for network logging?
[08:55] <Subhuman> you cant install dpkg
[08:55] <Subhuman> since apt-get uses dpkg.....
[08:55] <Trixsey> ohhh
[08:55] <Frogzoo> torbesh: define network loggin?
[08:56] <AmaroqWolf> oh
[08:56] <Subhuman> so how can you use dpkg to install itself?
[08:56] <dhorn> Subhuman: any suggestions?
[08:56] <AmaroqWolf> doea aptitude use dpkg?
[08:56] <Subhuman> build it from source.?
[08:56] <AmaroqWolf> *does
[08:56] <Subhuman> they all do
[08:56] <Subhuman> apt is a front end for dpkg.
[08:56] <AmaroqWolf> ouch
[08:56] <Trixsey> :(
[08:56] <torbesh> everything like GFi EventsManager do
[08:56] <Trixsey> we got pwned AmaroqWolf :p
[08:56] <AmaroqWolf> A rather sucky situation for someone who's new to linux.
[08:56] <AmaroqWolf> Trixsey: lol yeah
[08:56] <dhorn> Subhuman: so I'm basically going to have to reinstall ubuntu?
[08:56] <Subhuman> you could build it from source
[08:56] <ciscosurfer> you can install anything from packages.ubuntu.com
[08:56] <Subhuman> dhorn, nah theyll be a way to sort it.
[08:57] <Subhuman> gimmie 2 mins
[08:57] <dhorn> Subhuman: thanks
[08:57] <AmaroqWolf> He can still wget things
[08:57] <ledbettj> how about opening the .deb with archive manager and manually moving the files to where they need to be?
[08:57] <mevets> hey
[08:57] <zerodni> cmdrlanc, its like 3am here and i have work tomarrow i wish you the best of luck just dont forget when you go to install to check the format boxes
[08:57] <AmaroqWolf> I have no idea how to build from sorce though.
[08:57] <Frogzoo> torbesh: dunno, take a look at snort maybe
[08:57] <AmaroqWolf> *source
[08:57] <torbesh> snort?
[08:57] <mevets> is there a way to empty recycle bin from cmd line?
[08:58] <Subhuman> dhorn, if you type "dpkg" do you get some text?
[08:58] <Smartmonkey> anyone with some nagios experience here?
[08:58] <LightStream> Well, here is where you can get your free font:
[08:58] <torbesh> thanks frogzoo
[08:58] <ledbettj> mevets: rm -rf ~/.Trash/*
[08:58] <torbesh> i got it
[08:58] <Frogzoo> torbesh: or cacti might be it too - dunno
[08:58] <Subhuman> im trying to see if it's the database which is corrupt or the executable.
[08:58] <torbesh> ok
[08:58] <ledbettj> putting items in the recycle bin just moves them to ~/.Trash
[08:58] <dhorn> Subhuman: it says that the command is notn found
[08:58] <Gumby> dhorn: are you by any chance doing a system update right now?  or installing any other packages?  (sorry if this has already been asked(
[08:58] <Smartmonkey> yo dudes, anyone have experience w/ nagios?
[08:58] <vmlemon> 2
[08:58] <dhorn> Gumby: no, dpkg accidently go removed from my system
[08:58] <Gumby> dhorn: doh!
[08:58] <Zura01> Is there a way to configure ubuntu 6.10 with SMP ? sinds I installed Ubuntu on ML370 2x CPU 500 mhz
[08:59] <dhorn> Subhuman: it was removed from /usr/bin so yeah...
[08:59] <Frogzoo> Zura01: yes - install edgy
[08:59] <Subhuman> may i ask how?
[08:59] <LightStream> I guess how is Mr Ikeda?
[08:59] <Gumby> Zura01: I believe that ubuntu kernels come SMP enabled
[08:59] <Frogzoo> Zura01: on dapper, the 686 kernel
[08:59] <Trixsey> Install feisty, it's more stable than edgy
[08:59] <dhorn> Subhuman: my stupidity
[08:59] <Trixsey> for me at least :P
[08:59] <Trixsey> had big probs with edgy
[08:59] <Frogzoo> Trixsey: O.O
[08:59] <dhorn> Subhuman: removed the wrong file "rm dpkg"....
[09:00] <Flannel> Trixsey, Feisty is still alpha software, it's *not* stable day to day, it might work fine one day, and the next have no X, etc.
[09:00] <AmaroqWolf> xD
[09:00] <ciscosurfer> Feisty is not ready for the masses yet
[09:00] <Trixsey> pfft
[09:00] <Subhuman> dhorn, hmm - well you could compile your own dpkg, and then use that to install dpkg from packages.ubuntu.com....
[09:00] <Trixsey> you gotta live your life in the fast lane ;)
[09:00] <dhorn> Subhuman: is that a bitch to do?
[09:00] <Zura01> Linux www.zura.nl 2.6.17-11-generic #2 SMP
[09:00] <Zura01> this is what i c when i type uname -a
[09:01] <ledbettj> dhorn: download the dpkg .deb from packages.ubuntu.com, locate it in nautilus, and then extract the data.tar.gz file
[09:01] <Trixsey> Flannel, they are already in freeze (freezed features) so..
[09:01] <Flannel> Zura01: there you go, you've already got SMP
[09:01] <ledbettj> *open with archive manager
[09:01] <Trixsey> pretty much only bugfixes now I think
[09:01] <Trixsey> before the release
[09:01] <Smartmonkey> anyone ever had a problem using external commands in nagios? it appears im missing nagios.cmd.. not quite sure how to create it?
[09:01] <Zura01> how can I test
[09:01] <Gumby> Zura01: have you checked to see that both CPU's are being recognized?
[09:01] <Gumby> Zura01: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[09:01] <Flannel> Trixsey: right, it's frozen, but no.  It's still alpha software.
[09:01] <Zura01> thanx gumby let me try
[09:01] <Subhuman> dhorn, ledbettj 's idea might be better - grab the dpkg.deb and open it yourself
[09:01] <Gumby> Zura01: you should see two cpu's listen
[09:01] <Stormx2> If I have a nautilus window open in list view, is there a way I can drag and drop a file into the current directory?
[09:02] <dhorn> And then do whta?  move dpkg to /usr/bin?
[09:02] <ciscosurfer> Smartmonkey: have you gone here? http://nagios.org/support/
[09:02] <Subhuman> dhorn, the executable, yes.
[09:02] <torbesh> frogzoo: actually we want to track workers computer usage
[09:02] <q_> command <sudo modprobe acpi-cpufreq> gives me <FATAL: Error inserting acpi_cpufreq (/lib/modules/2.6.17-11-generic/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.ko): No such device>, any hint?
[09:02] <Smartmonkey> yes theres not much out there
[09:02] <dhorn> Subhuman: should that fix my issues?
[09:02] <Smartmonkey> google .. etc..
[09:02] <Trixsey> http://www.mathbin.net/8136
[09:02] <ledbettj> the data.tar.gz file will contain some directories, etc/ bin/ .. move the files that are in there to their respective places
[09:02] <Subhuman> dhorn, yep.
[09:02] <Trixsey> why isn't this script running properly?
[09:02] <Trixsey> :(
[09:02] <Subhuman> as long as you didnt delete anything else.
[09:02] <dhorn> I didn't
[09:02] <dhorn> I'll try that, thanks all
[09:02] <Frogzoo> torbesh: oh, dunno
[09:02] <Gumby> Trixsey: cause you use feisty
[09:02] <torbesh> and cacti, snort are network loggers for overflow etc
[09:02] <ledbettj> good luck :)
[09:02] <Trixsey> Gumby, oh ok :(
[09:02] <Trixsey> lol
[09:03] <Trixsey> you joker
[09:03] <ciscosurfer> Smartmonkey: you can always try asking here >> http://nagios.org/support/forums.php
[09:03] <torbesh> frogzoo: do you know what that softwares are called? to check from the internet?
[09:03] <Gumby> hehe
[09:03] <Smartmonkey> thx i guess
[09:03] <Trixsey> ohhh
[09:03] <Trixsey> it runs in console mode
[09:04] <ciscosurfer> Smartmonkey: well that's where'd I'd ask a specific question as it relates to Nagios
[09:04] <dhorn> Subhuman: one last question, am I going to have to change any permissions?  or should i?
[09:04] <torbesh> anyone know a user tracking (logging for workers' computer usage) software for xp/ubuntu crossplatform?
[09:05] <ciscosurfer> Smartmonkey: or you can join the #nagios channel and ask there :-) ... /join #nagios
[09:05] <Smartmonkey> oo thanks, didn't know there was  a nagios channel
[09:05] <ciscosurfer> Smartmonkey: :-)
[09:05] <torbesh> anyone know a user tracking (logging for workers' computer usage) software for xp/ubuntu crossplatform?
[09:06] <macd> !patience | torbesh
[09:06] <ubotu> torbesh: The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[09:06] <macd> torbesh, you could just have thier login/out times from the logs on the systems and aggregate those
[09:06] <yettenet> Can anyone tell me where can I set startup programs for kubuntu?
[09:07] <cmdrlanc> where can I apt-get thunderbird?
[09:07] <macd> I dont think there is a specific cross platform program todo that
[09:07] <ciscosurfer> yettenet: try #kubuntu
[09:07] <yettenet> Nice idea :)
[09:07] <torbesh> macd: we need more information for security, like internet usage, also keylogger
[09:07] <yettenet> Thnx
[09:07] <macd> cmdrlanc, in the console type "apt-get install thunderbird"
[09:07] <cmdrlanc> i did...it didn't find it
[09:07] <quandar> GDM is starts, puts up the wait cursor and stays there indefinitly. The package is not broken from what I can tell
[09:07] <macd> torbesh, I doubt you'll fund a program that works on both systems, but Id bet you could find ones that both have an XML output and you could then use something to parse and report those
[09:08] <ciscosurfer> cmdrlanc: try mozilla-thunderbird
[09:08] <macd> ciscosurfer, good call ;)
[09:08] <ciscosurfer> macd: ;-)
[09:08] <torbesh> macd: thank you, any software suggestion for that?
[09:08] <torbesh> macd: actually it is ok for us to collect data from xp, and be viewable on ubuntu
[09:09] <macd> torbesh, on the linux side, syslog can do that, on the windows side not so sure, we monitor that stuff with a combination of the DC's and the cisco webfilters
[09:09] <Madpilot> torbesh, out of curiousity, how is a keylogger needed? Seems overkill for security, and insanely invasive of user privacy...
[09:09] <AmaroqWolf> Can anyone tell me how I can check direct sound?
[09:09] <needtoknow> Can I run Windows inside of ubuntu?
[09:09] <Madpilot> needtoknow, yes, with a VM
[09:09] <Hasrat_USA> hello everyone. i need some help
[09:09] <macd> needtoknow, yes with vmware-workstation, Qemu, Xen, KVM
[09:09] <needtoknow> Direct sound is only in windows buddy
[09:10] <Trixsey> Hey! I added a Matlab link under Applications -> Education. When I click it only the spash screen comes up, the program doesn't actually start. But when I do "matlab &" in terminal (the very same command as the link executes) it works. Tips?
[09:10] <skar> hi, whats the package which'll install gcc, make etc ?
[09:10] <AmaroqWolf> needtoknow, seriously? D:
[09:10] <torbesh> madpilot: thank you for your kind ideas but be sure we know what is privacy:)
[09:10] <needtoknow> Thanks macd and madpiolet
[09:10] <Madpilot> skar, build-essential
[09:10] <ledbettj> skar: try build-essential
[09:10] <torbesh> macd: thanks a lot
[09:10] <macd> you boys are to fast for me ;P
[09:10] <skar> Madpilot, ledbettj: thanks, will try that :)
[09:10] <ciscosurfer> Madpilot: it may seem or even be excessively intrusive, but when you sign "on the dotted line" when you become an employee, you basically give your employer the right to do...
[09:10] <nickreynolds> hey i accidentally added an ip to my trusted ssh ip list
[09:10] <nickreynolds> how do i remove it
[09:10] <quandar> Trixsey: when you create launcher lets say, on your desktop of that same command, does it work
[09:10] <macd> nickreynolds, in /etc/hosts.allow
[09:10] <Trixsey> no
[09:10] <needtoknow> For helping me here is a AWSOME animation
[09:10] <nickreynolds> thank you
[09:10] <needtoknow> http://www.ebaumsworld.com/2006/12/animation-invasion.html
[09:11] <Madpilot> ciscosurfer, I guess, for some employers. Thankfully, I've never worked for anyone that paranoid...
[09:11] <cmdrlanc> ok..it found it, but where did it put it?
[09:11] <Trixsey> quaal, same problem there
[09:11] <macd> Madpilot, or you just were not aware
[09:11] <Trixsey> quaal, but in terminal its all fine
[09:11] <elyon225> How do I disable tooltips for the panels and such in gnome?
[09:11] <quandar> quandar: does "xterm -e matlab &" for the launcher
[09:11] <quandar> Trixsey: does "xterm -e matlab &" for the launcher
[09:11] <Hasrat_USA> previously i installed ubuntu 6.10 edgy eft, allocated 4 GB for it (3 for linux and 1 for swap from a 160 GB dual-boot with XP). then, i started downloading, installing and filling up linux with all sorts of games, files etc. a few minutes ago linux told me "you're using 100 percent disk space". then i restarted. but then, it said it couldn't write something to my 'home' folder and from then on it wouldn't let me log in. now i'm using
[09:11] <needtoknow> sudo apt-get AIDS
[09:12] <ciscosurfer> Madpilot: you'll find that many "security conscious" employers will add those clauses within their standards and privacy documents...
[09:12] <rapid> lol
[09:12] <kim_> can anyone help me how do i set programs to start at boot in ubuntu, i already tryed the system/preferences/Sessions , doesnt work for tilda and conky
[09:12] <macd> ciscosurfer, and a nice login message ;)
[09:12] <quandar> needtoknow: sudo apt-get -f install herpes
[09:12] <Madpilot> ciscosurfer, fun. remind me to avoid those employers. ;)
[09:12] <Madpilot> quandar, needtoknow - not funny, thanks.
[09:12] <needtoknow> sudo apt-get -f install antibiotics
[09:13] <ciscosurfer> Madpilot: avoid those employers :-)
[09:13] <quandar> sudo apt-get --fix-package AIDS herpes
[09:13] <quandar> all is better
[09:13] <nickreynolds> anyone ever use cygwin?
[09:13] <quandar> I did back in "the day"
[09:13] <nickreynolds> did it work
[09:13] <quandar> yeah
[09:13] <nickreynolds> for XDMCP
[09:13] <Hasrat_USA> would anyone like to take the time to tell me about any feasible solution to this problem?
[09:13] <Frogzoo> nickreynolds: pointless exercise
[09:13] <quandar> had to compile everything by hand, but it worked with most things
[09:13] <nickreynolds> because?
[09:14] <nevron> is there anyone kno0wledgable about wine
[09:14] <Madpilot> Hasrat_USA, your paste was cut off at "now i'm usin"
[09:14] <kim_> thanks
[09:14] <macd> Hasrat_USA, you need to resize your partition, get your liveCD out and use gparted.
[09:14] <Hasrat_USA> my linux liveCD to connect to the internet and take help from you guys
[09:14] <kuchcha> Hello room
[09:14] <ledbettj> Hasrat: have you tried pressing Control+Alt+F1 to get a terminal and logging in that way? is it just GDM that won't start?
[09:14] <Hasrat_USA> macd: thanks. gparted is already in front of me, sir
[09:14] <nevron> i just installed wine ran winecfg added photoshop form my windows drive as an application now the qwuestion is this how do i run it
[09:14] <macd> Hasrat_USA, then resize your partition
[09:14] <kuchcha> Im plannin to write a paper, which is the best tool..Openoffice or Latex or texinfo or anyother
[09:14] <Hasrat_USA> yes, gdm won't start. all i see is the login screen
[09:15] <ciscosurfer> kuchcha: a pencil
[09:15] <ledbettj> Hasrat: I think resizing the partition is probably the best way to go
[09:15] <Madpilot> Hasrat_USA, you might want to repartition & reinstall. Get at least 5Gb for Ubuntu's root, and ideally a 2nd partition for your /home
[09:15] <Trixsey> quandar, any ideas?
[09:15] <ciscosurfer> kuchcha: OpenOffice is very good.  You can also try Abiword or the Koffice suite
[09:15] <kuchcha> ciscosurfer: i mean ir must conform to the IEEE format, do u have any experience with these tools
[09:16] <dejx> http://rafb.net/p/A4Puhu72.html
[09:16] <macd> Madpilot, why would he reinstall? when resizing the partition is a 3 click operation.
[09:16] <quandar> Trixsey: did you try the xterm -e [whatever]  & thing?
[09:16] <dejx> i tried with -f, ame error
[09:16] <dejx> same
[09:16] <Trixsey> xterm? terminate?
[09:16] <Madpilot> macd, true, if he's got the space to do it that way.
[09:16] <Hasrat_USA> macd: my ext3, gparted shows, is 4 GB, of which 3.81 GB is in use. linux swap is one GB. now, if i borrow some more 20 GB from windows XP's 129 GB and add it to ext3, would it delete anything from either XP or my current ubuntu linux?
[09:16] <macd> kuchcha, openoffice conforms to the open document stadard, and is readable by MS World.
[09:16] <Trixsey> brb I have to reboot
[09:16] <quandar> xterm is a virtual terminal
[09:16] <ciscosurfer> kuchcha: which IEEE format?  can you point me to a link on the interweb that discusses which format you are trying to conform to?
[09:17] <macd> Hasrat_USA, it will use the empty space on your windows partition, so dont go over your available space.
[09:17] <ciscosurfer> kuchcha: is what macd said what you are referring to?
[09:17] <dejx> http://rafb.net/p/A4Puhu72.html , i tried with -f and i got the same error, what can i do, i did apt-get update,its fresh install
[09:18] <kuchcha> ciscosurfer: http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/authors/transjnl/index.html
[09:18] <Ayabara> Hi. Is there a good starting point for webcams in ubuntu? I have ubuntu, I have a webcam, and I want to do something with it
[09:18] <ciscosurfer> kuchcha: thanks
[09:18] <Hasrat_USA> so, macd: i have gparted in front of me. what's the first thing you want me to do now? ntfs's size is 143 GB, of which, only 12.13 GB is used
[09:18] <Shadowpillar> Flannel: how do I delete a file that is named like an argument?
[09:18] <Shadowpillar> Flannel: I have one named --exclude=backups
[09:18] <Frogzoo> shorty114: escape with \
[09:19] <Frogzoo> Shadowpillar: escape with \
[09:19] <macd> Hasrat_USA, right click the linux partition, and hit resize then choose the new size you want, and let it run.
[09:19] <Shadowpillar> rm \-\-exclude\=backups
[09:19] <Shadowpillar> rm: unrecognized option `--exclude=backups'
[09:19] <Hasrat_USA> and that way i won't have to re-install ubuntu linux from the scratch again?
[09:19] <Shadowpillar> Frogzoo: that happens instead
[09:19] <ciscosurfer> are you wanting to conform to these (http://www.ieee.org/portal/cms_docs_iportals/iportals/publications/journmag/transactions/TRANS-JOUR.doc) rules?
[09:19] <Frogzoo> Shadowpillar: rm -- \-\-exclude\=backups
[09:20] <ciscosurfer> kuchcha: are you wanting to conform to these (http://www.ieee.org/portal/cms_docs_iportals/iportals/publications/journmag/transactions/TRANS-JOUR.doc) rules?
[09:20] <macd> Shadowpillar, rm -- -exclude...
[09:20] <kuchcha> ciscosurfer: one minute
[09:20] <Hasrat_USA> okay i'm going to do that, if the answer of my most recent question is yes, macd
[09:20] <Shadowpillar> k that worked
[09:20] <Shadowpillar> thanks
[09:20] <macd> Hasrat_USA, yes you wont have to reinstall a thing
[09:20] <Hasrat_USA> thanks :P
[09:20] <kuchcha> ciscosurfer: yes.
[09:20] <ciscosurfer> kuchcha: maybe take a quick look at the PDF file just below that link >> http://www.ieee.org/portal/cms_docs_iportals/iportals/publications/journmag/transactions/TRANS-JOUR.pdf
[09:21] <needtoknow> How do I open a port?
[09:21] <kuchcha> ciscosurfer: but i wish to know what universities use widely and want to get acquainted with the tools., openoffice is very good and quite easy with this template
[09:21] <needtoknow> say........ if I want to open 342
[09:21] <kuchcha> ciscosurfer: thanks for the info
[09:22] <ciscosurfer> kuchcha: i think OpenOffice is a good app to use...plus, I *believe* you can quickly convert any file to a PDF document as well
[09:22] <cmdrlanc> Question: I did apt-get and it installed, now where did it stuff the files?
[09:22] <ciscosurfer> kuchcha: sure :-)
[09:22] <Shadowpillar> openoffice and abiword are the best tools for the job
[09:23] <ciscosurfer> kuchcha: what I meant to say was, you can export any file to PDF
[09:23] <kuchcha> Shadowpillar: thanks
[09:23] <Shadowpillar> openoffice = comparable to ms office, abiword = comparable (and better than) ms word
[09:23] <kuchcha> ciscosurfer: got the point
[09:23] <kuchcha> Shadowpillar: so abiword is > openoffice word processor
[09:23] <cmdrlanc> shadow: I installed thunderbird, but now I cant find it?
[09:24] <ciscosurfer> Shadowpillar: and some people swear by KOffice (though I haven't used it)
[09:24] <Shadowpillar> nah
[09:24] <Shadowpillar> openoffice is a complete suite
[09:24] <ciscosurfer> kuchcha: abiword is just a word processor
[09:24] <Shadowpillar> abiword is better for simple editing that is more complex than say a standard text editor can do
[09:24] <____Toch____> hello
[09:25] <kuchcha> oh..okay..
[09:25] <macd> !hi | ____Toch____
[09:25] <ubotu> ____Toch____: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[09:25] <kuchcha> thanks a lor ciscosurfer and Shadowpillar
[09:25] <Shadowpillar> ciscosurfer: and that's mostly a matter of opinion. only drawback to koffice is you need kde. or to install all the kde libs
[09:25] <ciscosurfer> kuchcha: you can install and use both and then decide which one you like  using better
[09:25] <ledbettj> cmdrlanc: It's not in Applications->Internet?
[09:27] <MeisterZopf> I can't start my gnome-terminal. It says: "BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)". Any ideas?
[09:27] <Madpilot> ciscosurfer, for PDF making in OpenOffice, it's as simple as clicking the "Make PDF" button on the toolbar, right next to the "Save" button
[09:27] <ciscosurfer> Madpilot: indeed it is
[09:28] <cmdrlanc> ledbettj: no..it did not add it there.
[09:29] <meisam> #eclipse
[09:29] <Hasrat_USA> it's not letting me add/resize
[09:29] <ledbettj> cmdrlanc: right click on the applications menu, choose "edit menus", go to the "internet" entry, and see if you can find it there -- if it's there, click the checkbox next to it.
[09:30] <dejx> hola
[09:30] <dejx> vi + ins,del,home,end,pgup,pgdn keys are acting weird in xubuntu
[09:30] <dejx> what to do?
[09:32] <nickreynolds> dammit, i can't seem to get cygwin to let met run X display on windows machine
[09:32] <macd> dejx, joining #xubuntu would be a good start
[09:32] <Hasrat_USA> how can i make an extended partition from the unused space i borrowed from XP, macd?
[09:33] <dejx> well, they idle
[09:33] <macd> Hasrat_USA, you dont need todo that, you can just add it to your "/" linux partition
[09:33] <Hasrat_USA> ok i'm typing everything that i see on screen
[09:33] <Hasrat_USA> please be patient
[09:34] <quaal> Trixsey, what?
[09:35] <elyon225> Could someone recommend a good alternative to Istanbul?  Istanbul is very easy to use (which I like), but the quality is terrible.
[09:35] <Hasrat_USA> dev/sda1 fat16 size 54.88 mb used 8 mb ununsed 46.88 mb
[09:36] <Hasrat_USA> dev/sda2 ntfs size 143.95 gb used 12.13 unused 131.82 gb boot
[09:36] <macd> Hasrat_USA, you could just press print screen and poast the screenshot to webshots.
[09:36] <Hasrat_USA> dev/sda3 ext3 4 GB used 3.81 GB unused 197.51 mb
[09:37] <Hasrat_USA> dev/sda4 linux-swap size 1 GB unsed --- unused ---
[09:37] <Hasrat_USA> okay i'm gonna do that
[09:37] <Hasrat_USA> webshots? is that like www.webshots.com?
[09:37] <macd> yes
[09:37] <Hasrat_USA> oka
[09:38] <Hasrat_USA> thanks god for LiveCD with live internet
[09:38] <macd> or any other image upload dump like that
[09:39] <Hasrat_USA> can you give me your email address macd? cause i'm gonna use yousendit.com
[09:39] <macd> uhhhh
[09:39] <Hasrat_USA> and webshots would require me to create an account which is too troublesome and cumbersome, for real!
[09:39] <meisam> Hasrat_USA u  r iranina?
[09:39] <Hasrat_USA> what's iranina?
[09:39] <meisam> Hasrat_USA iranian?

[09:47] <macd> Hasrat_USA, ok right click on the ext3 blue partition and hit resize then just put the new size in and then click apply.
[09:47] <Subhuman> you need to restart- it starts as a daemon and i can't remember the command for it :/
[09:47] <Subhuman> sorry.
[09:47] <vegasmcpc> jellobean, what kind of gfx card do you have?

[09:48] <vegasmcpc> ok, i'm a complete noob...how do i format in ext3 from the terminal?
[09:48] <meisam> macd what do u mean? but i know how to work with mysql, i need to connect it using eclipse, i wanna work with eclipse
[09:49] <Subhuman> it should appear in the systray now.
[09:49] <vegasmcpc> i didn't see ext3 in the list of filesystems
[09:49] <jellobean> vegasmcpc, do you think if i pull out my graphics card it might work?
[09:49] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: is this for mp3 etc?
[09:49] <macd> meisam, Im not sure what you dont understand, eclipse CAN NOT do mysql5 in the database explorer.
[09:49] <vegasmcpc> jellobean: i doubt it, not sure
[09:49] <dejx> hm
[09:49] <vegasmcpc> Frogzoo: it's for mp3, video, apps
[09:49] <yomm> good morning people :)
[09:50] <dejx> i get /usr/bin/esd; not found
[09:50] <dejx> ;/
[09:50] <Subhuman> vegasmcpc, you need to do "mk2fs.ext2 -j"
[09:50] <elw0od> good morning
[09:50] <Subhuman> vegasmcpc, ext3 is just ext2 with journalling, so add the -j flag to the ext2 formatter.
[09:50] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: mkfs.ext3 -T large /dev/mdX     where X is your raid
[09:51] <Hasrat_USA> macd: http://img412.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot1ea3.png
[09:51] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: mkfs.ext3 -T largefile /dev/mdX     where X is your raid
[09:51] <meisam> macd but in SQL explorer mysql 5 is shown and is connected
[09:51] <vegasmcpc> Frogzoo: do i need to sudo or anything?
[09:51] <macd> Hasrat_USA, up the newsize to say double that.
[09:52] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: sudo mkfs.ext3 -T largefile /dev/mdX     where X is your raid
[09:52] <vegasmcpc> thanks frogzoo
[09:52] <vegasmcpc> then after that is done, what's the command i'm going to need to use to mount it?
[09:52] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: enjoy
[09:53] <vegasmcpc> i want to mount it as /raid
[09:53] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: nopers - as /dev/mdX
[09:53] <vegasmcpc> oh
[09:53] <vegasmcpc> ok
[09:53] <vinboy> how do I DISABLE the maximise/minimise window animation?
[09:53] <vegasmcpc> so what's the command going to be?
[09:53] <karen> hi, I have user homes on second drive mounted with ntfs-3g I can read and write to disk, but user homes are owned by root. I tried chown and chgrp to make homes owned by user:user, but it does not work. Any ideas?
[09:53] <vegasmcpc> mount /dev/md1?
[09:53] <Hasrat_USA> macd: it won't let me. you can see the 'up' arrow is shaded and also that the maximum size is 4095 MB, while in the 'new size' field it says 4095 mb also
[09:53] <Frogzoo> vinboy: it's in metacity options somewhere
[09:54] <panclock> Same error.
[09:54] <panclock> :|
[09:54] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: where do you want to mount this /data ?
[09:54] <macd> Hasrat_USA, ohhh, you need to resize the NTFS one first, shrink it by the amount you want to add to the ext3 one
[09:54] <jellobean> I just installed edgy and when it boots up...it boots to a screen that is a whole bunch of colors....anyone know what this error is?
[09:54] <Hasrat_USA> okay
[09:54] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: sudo mount /dev/md1 /data          - but you should update /etc/fstab
[09:55] <vegasmcpc> ok, what should i enter into /etc/fstab?
[09:55] <vinboy> thanks Frogzoo
[09:55] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: is the format finished ?
[09:55] <vegasmcpc> yes
[09:56] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: does blkid give you a UUID for the raid ?
[09:56] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: sudo blkid /dev/md1
[09:57] <vegasmcpc> yea, it gives me a uuid
[09:57] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: k, so just copy the format in /etc/fstab & replace with UUID & /dev/md1 as appropriate
[09:58] <vegasmcpc> ok
[09:58] <panclock> Any time I go to a website, my firefox just exits, any idea what the problem could be? I tried to reinstall firefox, etc, it still exits.
[09:58] <Azrael|Arbeit> hi there
[09:58] <elw0od> hi
[09:58] <panclock> No one has answered me, in about six hours. So I idle. :D
[09:58] <Frogzoo> panclock: even google.com ?
[09:58] <panclock> At times, yeah.
[09:58] <merc> that google guy always has answers..
[09:59] <elw0od> panclock, try launching it in a terminal, u can read the error maybe
[09:59] <merc> sometimes to the wrong question..but..
[09:59] <macd> panclock, delete "~/.mozilla"  then run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure firefox"
[09:59] <Frogzoo> panclock: reinstall firefox I guess
[09:59] <panclock> uh
[09:59] <panclock> I did?
[09:59] <panclock> Same thing.
[09:59] <panclock> lol
[09:59] <macd> no uninstalling it does not erase user leve configurations.
[09:59] <zowch> panclock: I actually just had that issue!
[10:00] <CheshireViking> panclock, is it every website, or just websites with embed flash animations or graphics?
[10:00] <zowch> After you installed flash, right?
[10:00] <panclock> zowch; Solution?
[10:00] <elw0od> damned flash
[10:00] <zowch> If you change your default display depth to 24 it fixes it. :)
[10:00] <panclock> CheshireViking; Generally all of them.
[10:00] <panclock> Some times it works, some times it doesn't.
[10:00] <Frogzoo> zowch: ouch!
[10:00] <panclock> zowch; I REFUSE!
[10:00] <tenzin> hi
[10:01] <macd> panclock, the run it from terminal like this "strace -o firefox.dump firefox"
[10:01] <tenzin> how can I change my GRUB booting order of the Operatingsystems?
[10:01] <macd> then go paste that firefox.dump in a pastebin
[10:02] <CheshireViking> panclock, if its flash thats causing the problem, it might be worth looking at this http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_Flash_Player_.28Macromedia_Flash.29_Plug-in_for_Mozilla_Firefox - there's abit at the bottom of the flash section about firefox crashing when going to a flash enabled website
[10:02] <panclock> Eh, edgy?
[10:02] <vegasmcpc> Frogzoo: i updated /etc/fstab, and then went into terminal and entered sudo mount /dev/md1 /raid
[10:02] <vegasmcpc> and so far it hasn't done anything
[10:02] <vegasmcpc> hasn't put me back to a command prompt
[10:02] <vegasmcpc> no errors
[10:03] <vegasmcpc> nothing
[10:03] <Azrael|Arbeit> so befor i start asking dumb metaquestions i just start right off
[10:03] <zowch> Yeah, that sounds like the same issue.
[10:03] <Azrael|Arbeit> im trying to play WoW on ubuntu 6.10 with wine 3.31
[10:03] <Azrael|Arbeit> the big proglem is i cna play like 30 mins an then the whole mashine freezes (<-- stupid word sry)
[10:03] <eck> what command allows you to change the initscripts run at the various runlevels?
[10:03] <zowch> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/62988
[10:04] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: hmm...
[10:04] <Azrael|Arbeit> and also thers no entry in the errorlog
[10:04] <livevil> hi
[10:04] <ecker> hmm not use to gnome, where is the wallpapers directory at?
[10:04] <wrox> hi, i've copied new fonts to /var/lib/defoma/gs.d/dirs/fonts --- how do I update Defoma without restarting X ?
[10:04] <Azrael|Arbeit> anyone got an idea what to do?
[10:05] <eck> ecker: you can add wallpaper from any directory
[10:05] <ecker> thought it was in /usr/share/wallpapers
[10:05] <vegasmcpc> Azrael|Arbeit: take it as a sign from god that you play wow too much
[10:05] <vegasmcpc> j/k
[10:05] <Azrael|Arbeit> ...
[10:05] <panclock> Sec.
[10:05] <ecker> i see
[10:05] <ecker> ok
[10:05] <dejx> package sun-java5-jre is not installed
[10:05] <dejx> hm
[10:05] <dejx> what apt-get install .. i must wrote?
[10:06] <Azrael|Arbeit> maybe but...that don't helps me out much vegasmcpc ;)
[10:06] <panclock> Question.
[10:06] <Azrael|Arbeit> sry for my bad english btw...
[10:06] <panclock> Could it be a gnome theme causing the error?
[10:06] <livevil> Does someone can help me? I've installed wrong video driver and ubuntu interface doesn't start, I've tried to edit /etc/modules by "vi" from "recovery mode", deleting nvidia to avoid drivers start at boot. But I don't know how to save after. I dont' know "vi" command to save
[10:06] <vegasmcpc> Azrael|Arbeit: i know, sorry
[10:06] <Frogzoo> Azrael|Arbeit: are you overclocking ....?
[10:06] <panclock> It seems that the firefox browser, without the theme is fine, for now..
[10:06] <Azrael|Arbeit> nope
[10:06] <macd> panclock, did you run the strace command ?
[10:06] <Azrael|Arbeit> im using a pentium 4 3,2 ghz and 2gb ram
[10:07] <macd> panclock, that will tell us exactly what is causing the problem.
[10:07] <Azrael|Arbeit> it works quite fin with win
[10:07] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: your raid hasn't come back yet?
[10:07] <vegasmcpc> well, it hasn't done anything
[10:07] <panclock> Yeah.
[10:07] <panclock> It's not doing anything.
[10:07] <vegasmcpc> it seems as though it's locked up that terminal session
[10:07] <panclock> The browser isn't erroring.
[10:07] <eck> what command is used to modify runlevels
[10:07] <panclock> That's why I asked.
[10:07] <eck> i.e. to turn services on and off
[10:08] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: I would say the raid isn't built right - the mount should come straight back
[10:08] <vegasmcpc> that's...likely
[10:08] <macd> panclock, well as soon as it does error and crash you can get the info from the firefox.dump file and find the cause
[10:08] <vegasmcpc> i'm a noob
[10:08] <Frogzoo> !raid | vegasmcpc
[10:08] <ubotu> vegasmcpc: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[10:08] <macd> panclock, if it hasnt error'd yet, its not b/c firefox was run from terminal since gnome theme is still applied to the browser
[10:09] <Azrael|Arbeit> is there an errorlog or somethng for ubuntu?
[10:09] <killux> i just upgraded from dapper to edgy, but now firefox doesn't work.
[10:09] <macd> Azrael|Arbeit, /var/log/*
[10:09] <vegasmcpc> will it screw anything up if i just reformat the drives?
[10:09] <vegasmcpc> erm
[10:09] <vegasmcpc> fdisk them
[10:09] <Azrael|Arbeit> i checked var/log/messages
[10:09] <Azrael|Arbeit> but ther was nothing
[10:09] <panclock> macd, the theme isn't applied to it.
[10:09] <Hasrat_USA> http://img362.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot2cg6.png macd
[10:09] <killux> like i click the icon and it looks like its trying to load but then it just shutsdown
[10:09] <panclock> It's being weird.
[10:10] <macd> panclock, thats very odd, but it sounds like you found your problem
[10:10] <panclock> Indeed.
[10:10] <panclock> I might scrap this distro anyway.
[10:10] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: nope - but you'd best rebuild the raid
[10:10] <panclock> Move to dapper.
[10:10] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: something like: mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/hd[ac] 1
[10:10] <PwcrLinux> killux: what program unexpected quits?
[10:10] <macd> Hasrat_USA, now click on the ext3 partition and up its size
[10:10] <killux> firefox
[10:10] <eck> uh, you mean {} not []  right?
[10:10] <PwcrLinux> killux: with FP9?
[10:11] <killux> i dont know, how do i check the verison?
[10:11] <macd> panclock, you mean release not distro ;)
[10:11] <macd> panclock, and dapper is considered to be stable and edgy still has some issues.
[10:11] <panclock> Er, yeah.
[10:12] <killux> PwcrLinux, how do i check?
[10:12] <vegasmcpc> when i built it i used sudo mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md1 --level=5 --raid-devices=4 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1
[10:12] <adriyel> hmm
[10:12] <vegasmcpc> that should work, right?
[10:12] <panclock> What's the issues with edgy?
[10:12] <panclock> Major?
[10:12] <macd> I wouldnt use edgy anywhere I needed to be productive.
[10:12] <PwcrLinux> killux: open browser and type  about:config  then look down at very bottom which you have FP version
[10:12] <panclock> Or.. just minor things?
[10:12] <panclock> Ah.
[10:12] <jellobean> does anyone have problems running edgy with a geforce 6800 pci express?
[10:12] <Hasrat_USA> when i do that, the same problem remains. it won't let me do it. i make some 'unallocated' 20 GB from NTFS and click New to make a partition out of it, but it says it's not possible to create more than 4 primary partitions macd
[10:12] <macd> panclock, goto launchpad.net and you can see
[10:12] <killux> PwcrLinux, i cant even open the browser
[10:12] <panclock> Thanks for the update.
[10:12] <panclock> lol
[10:12] <Hasrat_USA> jellobean: yes
[10:12] <killux> it says like its loading but then it just closes
[10:12] <Azrael|Arbeit> what can be the problem when my mashine instantly freezes? and ther is no entry in the errorlog...-.-
[10:12] <Hasrat_USA> although i fixed it ;)
[10:13] <macd> Hasrat_USA, you dont want to make a new partition from that space you just want to resize the ext3 one, does it still give you that problem?
[10:13] <vegasmcpc> Frogzoo: actually, i had to use /dev/.static/dev/md1 instead...idk why but it changed to that for edgy
[10:13] <jellobean> hasrat...what kind of problems did you have and how did you fix it?
[10:13] <jellobean> hasrat: mine freezes on boot up
[10:13] <killux> PwcrLinux, do you know how to fix?
[10:13] <PwcrLinux> killux: FP 9 have bugs, you can move the libflashplayer.so out of plugin directory to the backup directory then you can try open FF
[10:14] <panclock> Damn.
[10:14] <panclock> That's a lot of bugs.
[10:14] <killux> ok ill try that
[10:14] <killux> where is it located?
[10:14] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: /dev/md1 should have worked, not sure what that device you're pointing at is for...
[10:14] <Hasrat_USA> macd yeah still the same prob. here's the latest screenshot http://img359.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot3ev6.png
[10:14] <dejx> is there anyway to install java5 via apt-get ?
[10:15] <vegasmcpc> it gives you an error if you do it as /dev/md1 on edgy...trust me, it took a day of me pounding my head against the wall to figure out that they changed it
[10:15] <macd> Hasrat_USA, how about if you click apply then try to resize the ext3 one?
[10:15] <mneptok> dejx: yes. enable universe.
[10:15] <dejx> i did
[10:15] <panclock> macd; Thanks for the url, I now know not to use Edgy for a while.
[10:15] <Hasrat_USA> i can't even click the 'up' arrow. it's shaded
[10:15] <Hasrat_USA> i can't input, let's say for example, 20124
[10:15] <vegasmcpc> panclock: why shouldn't you use edgy?
[10:16] <macd> panclock, launchpad is great, especially since you can see bugs by a number of different criteria
[10:16] <Hasrat_USA> jellobean: first of all what's ur problem?
[10:16] <panclock> vegasmcpc; It needs a lot of bug fixes, apparently.
[10:16] <panclock> I'll just switch to dapper, when I get unlazy.
[10:16] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: in a separate terminal, sudo mdadm --monitor /dev/md1
[10:17] <vegasmcpc> panclock: i just wish that they would make a nice gui interface for setting up raid
[10:17] <Hasrat_USA> hmmm macd seems like i'm f****-up for real :(
[10:17] <PwcrLinux> killux: Places > Home > (show hidden in menu list TICKED in) and look for .mozilla folder and look for plugins.. then move the libflashplayer.so to backup directory.
[10:17] <panclock> vegasmcpc; Eh, I suppose so. but this has got to be the most ease-of-us Linux distro there is.
[10:17] <panclock> Well, aside from MDK, but that just bites.
[10:17] <vegasmcpc> Feb 20 04:17:22: DegradedArray on /dev/md1 unknown device
[10:17] <panclock> use*
[10:18] <panclock> I need to put in my other drive. -sigh-.
[10:18] <dejx> mneptok what universe sound i add?
[10:18] <vegasmcpc> panclock: i agree, and i would imagine that the reason for not having a nice easy raid program is probably because most people don't use raid
[10:18] <Hasrat_USA> okay here is a question for you macd
[10:18] <Hasrat_USA> if i delete my linux's swap partition, would it affect my linux installation?
[10:18] <mneptok> dejx: the repository
[10:18] <macd> Hasrat_USA, dont do that
[10:18] <vegasmcpc> Frogzoo: that's the response that i got when i used that command
[10:18] <Hasrat_USA> cause if i delete linux's swap, i can do whatever you told me to do
[10:18] <mneptok> !repos > dejx
[10:18] <dejx> okej
[10:18] <panclock> vegasmcpc; Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's about right.
[10:19] <panclock> lol
[10:19] <dejx> i was trying to install java5
[10:19] <dejx> but i see theres java6 avaible
[10:19] <yomm>   vegas : i find mdadm is a breeze to use :)
[10:19] <macd> Hasrat_USA, well unless youve got 2gb or more ram, linux needs swap.
[10:19] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: most serious linux users use raid - there's no gui because people don't want gui bugs to break their data
[10:19] <Hasrat_USA> it's because i believe i made a mistake when partitioning previously. i made the linux swap primary, linux ext3 primary, and everything primary :(
[10:19] <macd> most serious users use hardware raid ;)
[10:19] <vegasmcpc> Frogzoo: makes sense
[10:19] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: well that doesn't look like the raid is happy :(
[10:19] <Hasrat_USA> i should have made the ext3 primary and linux swap extended, shouldn't have i?
[10:19] <vegasmcpc> yomm: must be nice...i'm a noob
[10:19] <Jackz> I had a problem with installing Edgy EFT, and so installed Feisty Fawn instead, but I'm sure I've fixed the problem that was preventing me from installing Edgy. Is it worth the time to revert? How glitchy is Feisty?
[10:19] <PwcrLinux> my breezy looks bad shape right now, I'm waiting for LTS 6.06 come in from the order online..
[10:20] <meisam> guys sorry u have any idea where to save the jsp files?
[10:20] <vegasmcpc> Frogzoo: how do i stop it?  i'm cool with starting from scratch, i just don't want to piss the machine off
[10:20] <yomm> vegas : I'm no expert either :)
[10:20] <killux> doesnt work
[10:20] <macd> Hasrat_USA, no, you havent done anything wrong, Im not sure why it will not let you resize after shrinking your ntfs partition
[10:20] <killux> PwcrLinux,
[10:20] <killux> it doesnt work
[10:20] <Kris128> okay, now this is a serious problem, is there any way to get a hold of ntfs-config at the moment?
[10:20] <panclock> PwcrLinux; My Breezy looks sexy.
[10:20] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: does ^C kill the mount ?
[10:20] <panclock> :>
[10:20] <Kris128> seems like the official site is down
[10:21] <killux> what shoould i do?
[10:21] <Hasrat_USA> it's because during partitioning, i made all the partitions on primary partitions. i didn't create any extended ones. now it's telling me that i can't create more than 4 primary partitions
[10:21] <vegasmcpc> Frogzoo: seems to
[10:21] <dettoaltrimenti_> when I download a document through adept, where does it save to? like abs-guide
[10:21] <Jackz> I had a problem with installing Edgy EFT, and so installed Feisty Fawn instead, but I'm sure I've fixed the problem that was preventing me from installing Edgy. Is it worth the time to revert? How glitchy is Feisty?
[10:21] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: cool, gtg, gl
[10:21] <vegasmcpc> now is there a command to just kill off the raid array?
[10:22] <Frogzoo> vegasmcpc: just reboot & rebuild
[10:22] <dejx> hm
[10:22] <macd> Hasrat_USA, well you can try to make the ext3 and the swap partition extended, then resize the ext3 one, but honestly Im not sure how that will afeect GRUB when you try to boot linux, you may have to mount the partition /boot is on, then redo the /dev/hdax or /dev/sdax assignments
[10:22] <panclock> Jackz; Feisty is a new release, I would revert back to a more stable release. I'm not sure if anyone would agree, but that's just my opinion.
[10:22] <dejx> i have 100mbit, and when i apt-get i always have max 30kb/s
[10:22] <kidbuntu> how do you auto run a torrent download everytime the ubuntu starts up?
[10:22] <dejx> which are fast reps?
[10:22] <PwcrLinux> killux: or you can do in the terminal box,   locate libflashplayer.so   make sure it's says /mozilla/plugins  then  mv libflashplayer.so to desktop or whatever you want to move to back up folder..
[10:23] <Jackz> Yeah I'll probably do that here before long, thanks for the opinion.
[10:23] <macd> Hasrat_USA, its 3:30am here and I need to jet, hopefully someone else can help you out
[10:23] <RossC0> Hi all - any ideas how I can set up a port forward or what software I should use?
[10:24] <Hasrat_USA> ok no prob man take care :)
[10:24] <Jewfro-Macabbi> RossCO, you mean something like privoxy or stunnel?
[10:24] <RossC0> I want to proxy port 9000 > 9001 for xdebug
[10:24] <macd> Hasrat_USA, good luck with it, if I see you here tomm. I'll make sure you got it worked out
[10:25] <PwcrLinux> panclock: hehe, yea I am using back-up kernel 9 for now.. still sluggish. I am waiting for LTS come in,  the kernel installation went berseked and doubling installation configs..
[10:25] <panclock> PwcrLinux; LOL. Man, that's crazy.
[10:25] <RossC0> thanks Jewfro-Macabbi: privoxy looks to be the one :)
[10:25] <panclock> I'm going to wait for my Dapper CD to come in the mail, and then switch to that.
[10:25] <panclock> Seeing as Breezy is about to not be supported anymore.
[10:26] <PwcrLinux> panclock: yep, prolly the team mistakes double codes in there..
[10:27] <PwcrLinux> panclock: yea they will end of support in april 2007
[10:27] <Kris128> anyone have the file ntfs-config-0.5.4.tar.gz ???
[10:27] <Kris128> their site is down so i can't get it from there
[10:27] <panclock> PwcrLinux; Thus the reason for the switch. (;
[10:27] <Kris128> and i desperately need it since i reinstalled ubuntu this morning and need to be able to write to my usb-drive
[10:27] <PwcrLinux> panclock: I backed up everything for bookmarks, xchat files and etc..
[10:28] <panclock> PwcrLinux; Ah, smart idea.
[10:28] <nf4> hello
[10:28] <Kris128> i believe there is a 0.5.5 also but it doesn't matter
[10:28] <panclock> I'm going to start from scratch.
[10:29] <nf4> I was wondering if there is a expiranced linux user in here who would be willing to help me on a small program install
[10:29] <ecker> on gnome when using a transparent how do you change the color of ur fonts so they can be red? and sorry for the noob questions just never ran anything other then kde
[10:29] <ecker> panel*
[10:30] <CheshireViking> nf4, you're best just asking about which program you want to install
[10:30] <nf4> globe7
[10:30] <nf4> is the program
[10:31] <nf4> it has a fc4 and fc5 package also a suse package
[10:31] <nf4> i am using ubuntu 6.10
[10:31] <PwcrLinux> I wondering, when I get the LTS 6.06 arrives, can I put the installation and whipe the whole HD and install fresh LTS and I will put the backup file back in..
[10:31] <ardchoille> nf4: It's not good to use .rpm packages in Ubuntu. You're better off compiling from source.
[10:31] <panclock> rpm is the devil.
[10:32] <nf4> even with alien ?
[10:32] <mzuverink> in conky I have it set to give me drive information for "/" , "/home/..." andd for a few removable drive.  However both "/" and "home/..." are on the same drive and they give me the same information regarding usage.  How do I make it only give me the amount that "home" is using and not the rest of that drive?
[10:32] <Goshawk> i was looking for the "mail" program in ubuntu to read mails, where is its? it seems that it's not installed by default.
[10:33] <nf4> they dont seem to offer the source
[10:33] <yomm> How can I see the list of installed foonts on my system ? ( I need to pass them as a parameter , but I din't know what exactly to type )
[10:33] <Jewfro-Macabbi> nf4, it's still trying to convert a file not designed for your system, but if that is your only option...
[10:33] <panclock> Goshawk; Have you tried Evolution?
[10:33] <ailean> I was thinking of getting a Mac and dual-booting with Ubuntu.  Has anyone done this? And if so, what hardware incompatibilities have you had (if any)?
[10:33] <ardchoille> nf4: Is this app for free phone calls?
[10:33] <nf4> yes
[10:33] <yomm> panclock , I think mb he means the system mail app
[10:33] <ardchoille> !voip
[10:33] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about voip - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:34] <Goshawk> panclock: i've to read swystem mails
[10:34] <nf4> you watch advertise ment and you can talk to any one in the world
[10:34] <panclock> Ah.
[10:34] <Goshawk> panclock: in a server environment
[10:34] <ardchoille> nf4: There's a way to do that in Linux without the adverts ;)
[10:34] <nf4> to where it will work on my cell phone?
[10:34] <ardchoille> !ekiga | nf4
[10:34] <ubotu> nf4: ekiga: H.323 and SIP compatible VOIP client. In component main, is optional. Version 2.0.3-0ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 3582 kB, installed size 12568 kB
[10:35] <nf4> i think only free voip on linux
[10:35] <Lucifel> mzuverink, du -sch /home
[10:35] <nf4> this will give me  local number in the country i choose i belive
[10:35] <ardchoille> nf4: You didn't mention cell phone in your original question.
[10:35] <MeisterZopf> I can't start my gnome-terminal. It says: "BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)". Any ideas?
[10:36] <nf4> Well i have freinds in phillipines who use this and get a local usa number
[10:36] <yomm> !botsnack
[10:36] <ubotu> Yum!
[10:36] <koth> Hi there, is anyone have experence in installing/setup grub?
[10:36] <PwcrLinux> lol
[10:36] <ardchoille> nf4: So, you are looking for help to install something on your cell phone?
[10:36] <mzuverink> Lucifel, how do I put that into conkyrc?  I know that command, but unsure of how to do it in conky
[10:37] <dejx>  /
[10:37] <nf4> I trying to figure a cheaper way to contact my fiancee
[10:37] <nf4> no not on my cell phone
[10:37] <ailean> nf4, from where to where?
[10:37] <nf4> i need this program on my computer to get the credits i belive
[10:38] <ardchoille> nf4: I believe ekiga can help you with that. It's voip.
[10:38] <ailean> nf4, ekiga is great
[10:38] <ardchoille> nf4: Oh, so you're looking to install that specific app?
[10:38] <nf4> yes becouse i have no mic on my system
[10:38] <nf4> if i install that app i can get my gf a local usa number to call her
[10:39] <Lucifel> mzuverink ahh, sorry, not familiar enough with that
[10:39] <dejx> okej
[10:39] <mzuverink> nf4, skype will also do it, though she needs to use it too on her computer.  There are other sip/void phones out there that are not proprietary like skype.  and a cheap mic is like only 3 US dollars
[10:40] <dejx> why is vi + int,del keys weird on my installation?
[10:40] <aleitner> join #ubuntu
[10:40] <koth> Hi there, does anyone have experence in configuring GRUB?
[10:40] <Lucifel> mzuverink #conky would prolly be able to help you more though
[10:40] <ailean> I was thinking of getting a Mac and dual-booting with Ubuntu.  Has anyone done this? And if so, what hardware incompatibilities have you had (if any)?
[10:40] <aleitner> anybody knows if xorg 7.2 is still going to make it into feisty?
[10:40] <mzuverink> Lucifel, ok, thanks for the help, i appreciate it
[10:40] <Jewfro-Macabbi> ailean, intel mac would be easier
[10:40] <ardchoille> nf4: I don't think globe7 is free
[10:41] <nf4> Ok thank you i guess i will by a mic i am worried that it wont work though becouse i had mic of a freinds that didnt work in 6.06
[10:41] <Lucifel> NP mzuverink
[10:41] <dejx> and how can i enable english layout
[10:41] <nf4> well they have pay options too but if you watch there flash videos you get credits
[10:42] <ardchoille> nf4: From I see from their website, they have a certain amount of free minutes, then is switches to a pay plan.
[10:42] <ailean> Jewfro-Macabbi, sure, i'm going to get an Intel Mac.  I thought that was a given nowadays :D  But is there any reason for it not to work perfectly?
[10:42] <nf4> well its under one cents per minute
[10:42] <Jewfro-Macabbi> nf4, try fiddling with "alsamixergui" and that mic again...
[10:42] <ardchoille> nf4: http://www.globe7.com/rateplan.php It says The rate plan applies to free minutes too.
[10:43] <ardchoille> nf4: ekiga is free :)
[10:43] <nf4> and you get  a few pennys per show
[10:43] <Arcad3> how can i restrict users in my box?
[10:43] <nf4> ok i will buy mic tomorrow then
[10:43] <Jewfro-Macabbi> ailean, well, for certainly you could compare the hardware spec sheet of your potential mac with a hardware comapability list for your linux distro
[10:43] <nf4> if i can find   a store that sells one
[10:43] <nf4> thank you
[10:44] <ailean> Jewfro-Macabbi, okay.  I thought since they're all very similar, someone would have already done it.  Thanks :)
[10:44] <nf4> i practiced converting rpms but only was secsessfull by following word for word guides
[10:45] <nf4> but avg is installed and seems to work perfectly
[10:45] <ardchoille> nf4: Converting an rpm to use in Ubuntu can not only wreck your system it can send you into dependency hell.
[10:45] <Goshawk> how to read system mails?
[10:46] <nf4> ok i will keep that in mind
[10:46] <koth> Hi there, i just finish install ubuntu, after the reboot, black screen
[10:46] <Jewfro-Macabbi> Goshawk, "mail", in the terminal
[10:46] <yomm_> Goshawk : do a search in synaptic on system mail , perhaps you cab see which is ( if
[10:46] <yomm_>           there is .. ) already installed , and otherwise there should be quite a few
[10:46] <yomm_>           results :)
[10:46] <nf4> any one know what a .sob file is ?
[10:46] <koth> and the monitor saod input sigal out of range, i have try 2 monitor already
[10:46] <yomm_> sry wrng paste :/
[10:47] <koth> anyone have idea how i can fix it?
[10:47] <Arcad3> can i make my own custom shell like bash,sh in Ubuntu?
[10:48] <Goshawk> Jewfro-Macabbi: thsi is the cool thing "mail" does not exist
[10:48] <ardchoille> nf4: If you want to keep your system safe. Follow these rules: 1st choice install from official repos using the package manager, 2nd choice find a .deb package that was made for Ubuntu, 3rd choice compile from source. If you can't find any of those options, then you are left with two more choices.. look for another app to do the job or do without.
[10:48] <Arcad3> koth:the rezolution is to high
[10:49] <Jewfro-Macabbi> Goshawk, maybe it's something I have installed... worked for me...  "aptitude search system mail", lots of programs for it
[10:49] <nf4> thanks for that info
[10:49] <koth> Arcad3: is there anyway i can set it to a lower res?
[10:49] <koth> Arcad: before i go into the gui?
[10:49] <nf4> it is strange to me that in the guide about avg never mentions it was dangerous just how useless it was
[10:50] <Arcad3> at what stage gives u the black screen?
[10:50] <koth> Arcad3: after the ubuntu loadbar.
[10:50] <ardchoille> nf4: They are getting money fro their customers. Do you really think they are going to say their software is dangerous?
[10:50] <Arcad3> at the boot screen is the option "Safe graphics mode"
[10:50] <iveen> iveen
[10:51] <nf4> no i mean in ubuntu forums about avgfree
[10:51] <ardchoille> nf4: Ah, ok
[10:51] <koth> Arcad3: there is something like a "recover mode" in GRUB
[10:51] <nf4> where i practice about rpm conversion
[10:51] <Arcad3> yes
[10:51] <Arcad3> try that
[10:51] <Arcad3> it will give u a console
[10:51] <koth> Arcad3: Ok, i will have to power cycle the computer first then
[10:52] <Arcad3> there type as root "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[10:52] <iveen> wil jy nie saam my chat nie
[10:52] <koth> Arcad3: i am going ot do a reset, if it is ok?
[10:52] <becki> in the usplash howto is written the image can have 256colors and a high relsolution, but pngtobogl only works on 640x480 16colors. how can i else convert my image to a working c code? (gimp's c-code doesn't work)
[10:52] <Arcad3> wait
[10:52] <yomm_> nf4 : why dangerous ?
[10:52] <Arcad3> remember this command dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:52] <nf4> ardchoille,  told me rmp can ruin a ubuntu system
[10:52] <koth> o ok, i am on a different computer =)
[10:53] <nf4> *rpm
[10:53] <Arcad3> oke :)
[10:53] <ardchoille> !alien
[10:53] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[10:53] <yomm_> nf4 : ah ok I thought you were talking about avg :)
[10:53] <nf4> Well that was rpm
[10:53] <ardchoille> nf4: See what ubotu said about alien?
[10:53] <nf4> that is why i said that
[10:53] <yomm_> i see !
[10:54] <koth> Arcad3: Reset, in the recover mode, lot of things running
[10:55] <Arcad3> type in the command
[10:55] <koth> Arcad3: lot of DriverStatusError
[10:55] <Trixsey> I've recently added a link to matlab (executing the command "matlab &") but I only get the matlab spash screen (I think it's trying to run in terminal mode)... But when I do "matlab &" in terminal it works - Tips?
[10:55] <koth> Arcad3: Finally done, i have a prompt now.
[10:56] <Arcad3> oke
[10:56] <Arcad3> what Graphics card ati nvidia?
[10:56] <koth> ati,
[10:56] <FurryNemesis> noo
[10:57] <Jewfro-Macabbi> Trixsey, you should be able to adjust the properties of your link to automatically run the program in terminal mode
[10:57] <FurryNemesis> nvidia - better support
[10:57] <Arcad3> choose lower rezolution
[10:57] <Arcad3> 800X600
[10:57] <koth> Arcad3: there are x server driver selection: sis. sisusb, tdfx, tga, trident, tseng, vesa
[10:58] <Arcad3> choose ati
[10:58] <koth> and MORE =)
[10:58] <koth> ok, found it =D
[10:59] <payam> hi

[11:01] <Arcad3> detectiveinspekt:
[11:01] <Arcad3> !lamp
[11:01] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[11:01] <adriyel_> sigh.
[11:01] <Arcad3> u must have php installed
[11:01] <payam> How can i install Java?
[11:01] <Trixsey> Jewfro-Macabbi,
[11:01] <ardchoille> detectiveinspekt: See the part about installing php, since it sounds like you didn't do that.
[11:01] <Trixsey> Jewfro-Macabbi, it doesn't run at all if I do
[11:02] <koth> Arcad3: Done

[11:08] <distant_voice> I'm having problems booting Ubuntu from the 6.06 cd. where to turn? can I just ask here?
[11:08] <Arcad3> yes
[11:08] <Arcad3> run that command an mark high resolutions
[11:08] <koth> Arcad3: can i specific the res? I am actually going to use it with a HDTV, 1280x720. I don't see that as a slection
[11:09] <Arcad3> in the upper menu bar choose System>Preferences>Screen resolution
[11:09] <AmaroqWolf> distant_voice, I also have a computer that can't boot from Ubuntu CD. It tries to mount the filesystem, and stops while doing that. I believe it's because the computer doesn't have enough memory.
[11:10] <koth> Arcad3: ok, i will give it a try
[11:10] <distant_voice> exactly my problem
[11:10] <distant_voice> I do have a whole free HD and 1 GB of Ram though
[11:10] <distant_voice> if that's not enough I don't know
[11:10] <babo> how do I turn off my mousepad guys ?
[11:10] <AmaroqWolf> distant_voice: should be enough. How fast of a processor do you have?
[11:10] <distant_voice> 6.10 can boot from the dvd
[11:10] <distant_voice> 3800++ AMD
[11:11] <distant_voice> AMD64 if it matters
[11:11] <elyon225> Could someone please help me figure out why my sound stopped working??  All I did was install libmtp and Amarok (along with KDE)
[11:11] <AmaroqWolf> distant_voice: I'm not sure how to help you. xD I simply installed it on my slightly better computer, and it worked.
[11:11] <distant_voice> AmaroqWolf: maybe you can help with my 6.1 problem?
[11:11] <AmaroqWolf> 6.1?
[11:11] <Arcad3> someone can give me a how to make a custom shell like bash??
[11:12] <elyon225> ...which was stupid because Amarok STILL doesn't recognize my mp3 player...
[11:12] <noiano> Hello
[11:12] <aborilov> Hi all!
[11:12] <distant_voice> AmaroqWolf: before I downloaded the 6.06 I tried the 6.10 dvd. It runs and install fine up to point where you reboot for the first time
[11:12] <noiano> Security question: putting an user in SSh group is bad?
[11:12] <Dustyhawk> hello people, i have somewhat of a question.
[11:12] <aborilov> anybody found any gui for ffmpeg?
[11:12] <Slart> !ask | Dustyhawk
[11:12] <ubotu> Dustyhawk: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:12] <distant_voice> AmaroqWolf: it shuts down, asks me to remove the cd (which I do) and then crashes
[11:12] <Dustyhawk> hey there, when reloading Synaptics, i'm getting this error "http://my.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper-backports/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz: Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1) "  <---what does this mean and what should i do ?
[11:13] <distant_voice> AmaroqWolf: when I press reset to reboot either nothing has changed and windows comes up or I get "error loading operating system"
[11:13] <Slart> Dustyhawk: sounds like either gzip is broken.. or the zip-file synaptic tried to download and open was corrupt
[11:13] <payam> i can no find the Java
[11:13] <Slart> Dustyhawk: but if that zip was corrupt more people would be complaining
[11:14] <Dustyhawk> slart - hmm, is there anything i can do on my end ?
[11:14] <Slart> Dustyhawk: I'd just wait a while and try again..
[11:14] <AmaroqWolf> distant_voice: did you boot from the CD originally and install from that? Or did you install while still running windows?
[11:14] <Arcad3> Dustyhawk: http://ubuntuguide.org navigate to "How to add extrarepositoryes"
[11:14] <Dustyhawk> Arcad3 many thanks
[11:14] <AmaroqWolf> cd/dvd

[11:14] <Slart> Dustyhawk: change repos
[11:14] <payam> apple?
[11:14] <elyon225> I just compiled and installed mtp and Amarok in Ubuntu edgy, but now my sound doesn't work at all (and Amarok STILL doesn't recognize my mp3 player, although mtp-detect does).  Could someone please help me get my sound back??
[11:14] <payam> is the sam?
[11:14] <Slart> Dustyhawk: bah.. what Arcad3 said =)
[11:14] <koth> Arcad3: when i connect the computer with my TV, the problem came back. will ubuntu auto detect the screen size?
[11:15] <distant_voice> AmaroqWolf: I booted from the 6.10 dvd, Ubuntu comes up and works fine, then I chose install and everything seemed to work perfectly until it tries to shut donw
[11:15] <AmaroqWolf> distant_voice: you said windows still comes up?
[11:15] <Arcad3> yes..
[11:16] <distant_voice> AmaroqWolf: ya, it looks like it didn't partition right or something, don't you think?
[11:16] <jmazaredo> is there a scandisk like disk repair for ubuntu
[11:16] <Trixsey> If I run matlab in terminal ("matlab &") it works just fine, but when I make a link executing the very same command (or a bash-script), all I get is the matlab splash screen! Tips?
[11:16] <cyclops> I have a very weird issue with screen off, my screen saver runs, the screen turns off, and then I can't get the screen saver to ever come back on unless I kill X (ctrl+alt+backspace).  Any help?  Running Ubuntu Edgy.
[11:16] <distant_voice> AmaroqWolf: I'm already thinking my bootsector is write protected, but I doubt that
[11:16] <koth> Arcad3: is there any way i can fix the resulotion?
[11:16] <payam> Can I have IE on my Linux?

[11:16] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:17] <distant_voice> AmaroqWolf: and there's no option in my bios like I found on a friends laptop
[11:17] <koth> Arcad3: ok! thanks
[11:17] <Jewfro-Macabbi> payam, there is a program ies4linux, for installing IE
[11:17] <Slart> jmazaredo: there's always fsck, you want to unmount the drive first though
[11:17] <Arcad3> what is "bah"??
[11:17] <AmaroqWolf> distant_voice: If you don't even want windows anymore, you could just reformat the hard drive and install ubuntu on the blank hard drive.
[11:17] <payam> Firefox doesnt have Java right?
[11:17] <Slart> firefox has java
[11:17] <payam> But i cant update my site
[11:18] <Slart> or.. not installed with firefox.. you have to install it separately.. but it supports java
[11:18] <AmaroqWolf> distant_voice: I don't have alot of experiance in this area though, so you might want to get help from someone more knowledgeable than me.
[11:18] <payam> my edit tolls doesnt come
[11:18] <koth> Arcad3: "bah" is a sound..., like "Sigh"
[11:18] <payam> ools
[11:18] <payam> toools
[11:18] <pequatre> hi everyone. I'm using IceWM as a WM. does anyone knows how to allow a normal user to shut down the computer ? right now she needs to be root (using the menu, not the cli)
[11:18] <distant_voice> AmaroqWolf: problem is I do want it still, and I don't want to format the whole thing because there's still data I need
[11:18] <Jewfro-Macabbi> payam, you need to go to "system, administration, software properties", and enable all the repositories, so you can install stuff like java.
[11:18] <Arcad3> :|
[11:18] <nf4> using the nvida beta drivers it comes with  settings program that has refesh rate i set it auto the 'screen resolution under the system menu has 50 and 52Hz as options if i select 75Hz under the nvidia settings it shoots the "screen resolotion" menu up to 91hz
[11:18] <Slart> payam: perhaps your site uses some non-standard thingy..
[11:18] <nf4> using the nvida beta drivers it comes with  settings program that has refesh rate i set it auto the 'screen resolution under the system menu has 50 and 52Hz as options if i select 75Hz under the nvidia settings it shoots the "screen resolotion" menu up to 91hz
[11:18] <payam> i did that
[11:18] <nf4> sorry for two times guys
[11:18] <Slart> payam: what flavour of java are you using?
[11:18] <distant_voice> AmaroqWolf: one last thing: did you get some kind of error message when Ubuntu couldn't mount your root file system?
[11:19] <payam> Java 1,4 can not be installed
[11:19] <distant_voice> AmaroqWolf: because I did
[11:19] <cyclops> anyone listening?
[11:19] <payam> i dont know
[11:19] <Slart> payam: java from sun?
[11:19] <payam> yes
[11:19] <Slart> payam: then it should be ok... who made the site? you?
[11:19] <payam> yes
[11:19] <payam> Mt
[11:19] <jmazaredo> i used dist-upgrade in the console updating to edgy from dapper, then electricity run out, will using synaptic or update manager fix all?
[11:20] <elw0od> jmazaredo, i suppose yes
[11:20] <Arcad3> jmazaredo:download the .iso is safer
[11:20] <AmaroqWolf> distant_voice: Usually on a windows installation, it takes up the entire hard drive. If you still have space on the hard drive, you can use a utility that can alter the partition and give yourself some empty space to work with, because ubuntu and windows have to be on seperate partitions. You should back up everything before you do that though, since there is a chance that things could go wrong. And no, I didn't get an error.
[11:20] <AmaroqWolf> The progress bar just stopped and stayed like that.
[11:20] <payam> i wna take a picture
[11:20] <payam> waite
[11:20] <Slart> payam: then I'd go ask in some java programming channel.. perhaps you've done something that's only supported in internet explorer.. or something along those line.. I don't tihnk it's firefox's fault
[11:21] <distant_voice> AmaroqWolf: okay thx anyway. the partitioning thing isn't a problem I know how to work gparted
[11:21] <payam> i wana show you
[11:21] <AmaroqWolf> distant_voice: oh, okay xD
[11:21] <Dustyhawk> oh dear me. synaptics has gone bad on me.
[11:21] <Slart> payam: ok
[11:21] <Dustyhawk> from that error just now .. im getting this now.  " W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://security.ubuntu.com dapper-security/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_dapper-security_main_binary-i386_Packages)

[11:22] <distant_voice> AmaroqWolf: thx for your time
[11:22] <Jewfro-Macabbi> Dustyhawk, you can edit manuallly, "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list", and remove and duplicates
[11:22] <Arcad3> Dustyhawk:download the .iso burn it onto cd and install edgy
[11:22] <jmazaredo> theres a problem running from setup idk what it is so i just updated Hoary->Breezy->Dapper->Edgy
[11:22] <yomm> ls -l -h
[11:22] <AmaroqWolf> distant_voice: I'm sorry I couldn't help you. I'm sure someone in here can though.
[11:22] <yomm> oops
[11:23] <Jewfro-Macabbi> distant_voice, there's the offchance your problem is with the "live CD", and using the alternate install CD instead might help.
[11:23] <Dustyhawk> jewfro - to delete is "del" right ?
[11:24] <Arcad3> rm -rf
[11:24] <jmazaredo> live cd got a bug?
[11:24] <DarthLappy> Arcad3: -rf isn't always fun.
[11:24] <Jewfro-Macabbi> Dustyhawk, rm, (-r to remove directories recursively)
[11:24] <PeRCeVaL> Morning all
[11:24] <distant_voice> I'm having problems installing Ubuntu: 6.06 won't boot from the cd (it can't mount the root file system and gives me a lenghty error message I jotted down if it's important), 6.10 boots and installs fine up to the point where you need to restart. it crashes right after it asks me to remove the disk, then when I press reset it either boots up windows again or gives me "error booting operating system"
[11:25] <[Kork] > hi. i'm searching for a program to merge some mp3s
[11:25] <Dustyhawk> pfft. well since this is a new install... i'll do the best thing. Reinstall dapper >D
[11:25] <distant_voice> Jewfro-Macabbi: thx, I'll try the x386 cd first, I used the AMD64 version up to this point
[11:26] <Jewfro-Macabbi> distant_voice, you could also try netinstall using a miminum boot image as well.
[11:26] <acidborg> hi
[11:26] <PeRCeVaL> Could some1 help installing my WEBCAM ? i have tryed many things but it doesnt work
[11:26] <acidborg> does the package UCARP support IPv6?
[11:26] <Arcad3> PeRCeVaL:
[11:26] <Arcad3> edgy?
[11:26] <PeRCeVaL> yes
[11:26] <PeRCeVaL> well no, im with Beryl
[11:27] <Arcad3> Aplications>Add Remove
[11:27] <Arcad3> is a package webcam
[11:27] <Jewfro-Macabbi> Dustyhaw, I've been running dapper for a while, and occastional apt-get goes bonkers like that... just happens
[11:27] <PeRCeVaL> Arcad3  i will try it
[11:27] <distant_voice> Jewfro-Macabbi: where to get that and can that do everything the normal installation can? partition disks and so on?
[11:27] <Arcad3> and use Kopete as it has support for webcam
[11:27] <PeRCeVaL> im running with Beryl
[11:27] <PeRCeVaL> Kopete?
[11:27] <Arcad3> yes

[11:28] <Arcad3> kopete yes
[11:28] <PeRCeVaL> ill try it
[11:28] <PeRCeVaL> its a good msn client ?
[11:28] <Jewfro-Macabbi> distant_voice, check the ubuntu site, it should tell you all the netinstall image comes with (usually just a base image and you get the rest online)
[11:28] <Arcad3> in Add Remove menu u have msn
[11:28] <Arcad3> like in windows
[11:28] <koth> sweet, ubuntu running. Anyone use Myth TV in ubuntu?

[11:32] <karthik> frog...its not working
[11:32] <PeRCeVaL> ummm odd, im trying to open a terman and it say... starting terminal , then it closes itself :$
[11:33] <Seveas> PeRCeVaL, try <alt><f2>xterm<enter>
[11:33] <PeRCeVaL> ty Seveas
[11:33] <PeRCeVaL> then i try to open again ?
[11:33] <payam> whats happen?
[11:33] <Seveas> PeRCeVaL, does xterm open or not?
[11:33] <PeRCeVaL> no
[11:34] <nutterpc> man, can't argue with that, fully functional kernel down to 8532kb
[11:34] <Seveas> ok... hit <ctrl><alt><f1> - then try loging in there - hit <alt><f7> to go back to the gui
[11:34] <nutterpc> I would push me luck and get it lower, but meh, that's good enuff :P
[11:34] <Slart> payam: ok.. first of all.. you're using konqueror... not firefox.. and somehow I doubt you wrote Movable Type.. =) google doesn't mention any problems using konqueror with movable type.. so I guess it's up to your java installation.. you'll have to ask someone else about that.. I don't use konqueror since I'm on gnome.. but ask the channel about that.. someone's bound to be able to help you
[11:35] <payam> its the same with firefox
[11:35] <distant_voice> I'm having problems installing Ubuntu: 6.06 won't boot from the cd (it can't mount the root file system and gives me a lenghty error message I jotted down if it's important), 6.10 boots and installs fine up to the point where you need to restart. it crashes right after it asks me to remove the disk, then when I press reset it either boots up windows again or gives me "error booting operating system"

[11:36] <Strom_C> hey everyone...I'm putting together an image based on ubuntu 6.10, and the only remaining hiccup is finding an xorg configuration that will work across various machines.  I'm guessing the easiest way of doing this would be to run the hardware autoconfiguration tool from the livecd on every boot, but I've been googling and grepping for an hour solid and have no idea what the tool is called.  Could one of you possibly nudge me in the
[11:36] <Strom_C> right direction?
[11:36] <PeRCeVaL> Seveas,  i tryed what u said and screentshot wenit into crazy colours
[11:37] <Seveas> PeRCeVaL, sounds like your graphics driver is confused - maybe rebooting will help
[11:37] <PeRCeVaL> btw terminal is working now :D
[11:37] <PeRCeVaL> yeah
[11:37] <PeRCeVaL> its working now
[11:37] <PeRCeVaL> after rebooitng :d
[11:37] <Seveas> hehe
[11:37] <PeRCeVaL> haha
[11:37] <Seveas> ati driver?
[11:37] <PeRCeVaL> i think it was Beryl error tho
[11:38] <PeRCeVaL> yah
[11:38] <PeRCeVaL> hahaha
[11:38] <PeRCeVaL> cost me 2 days to make Beryl working and setting the drviers ok
[11:38] <PeRCeVaL> :d
[11:38] <PeRCeVaL> stupid ati drivers :D
[11:38] <Zaggynl> Anyone has experience with mounting ntfs in ubuntu? How stable is it?
[11:38] <nutterpc> that's part of the linux life dude :P
[11:38] <Zaggynl> I'm tired of rebooting to windows and using linux reader to copy stuff over
[11:38] <PeRCeVaL> i know nutterpc  :D
[11:38] <nutterpc> Zaggynl: its not hard
[11:38] <clust> Zaggynl: it should be ok
[11:39] <PeRCeVaL> Zaggynl,   i had no prob at all tho
[11:39] <PeRCeVaL> with mounting ntfs
[11:39] <nutterpc> PeRCeVaL:  I spent the past 2 days working on a customised kernel for me Compaq M2000
[11:39] <Zaggynl> okay cool
[11:39] <PeRCeVaL> hehehehehe :P
[11:39] <nutterpc> wanna know what its down to now?
[11:39] <nutterpc> 8.4Mb, basically
[11:40] <nutterpc> default size for the kernels is nearly 4x that
[11:40] <Zaggynl> I tried that too for my oldish laptop, it refused to boot ><

[11:41] <nutterpc> you get used to it after a while
[11:41] <nutterpc> :)
[11:41] <PeRCeVaL> i did start using linux 2 weeks ago :D
[11:41] <nutterpc> nice

[11:42] <Seveas> PeRCeVaL, apt-get install pidentd (for ident :))
[11:42] <Strom_C> brainly-green: I believe you have to install "build-essential"
[11:42] <brainly-green> ok
[11:42] <PeRCeVaL> Seveas,  i tryed a few days agos and didnt get it working

[11:45] <Arcad3> how i prevent a user to cd into / ??
[11:45] <Seveas> Arcad3, you don't
[11:45] <Arcad3> or build a custom shell?
[11:46] <nutterpc> PeRCeVaL: What made you try Linux? Wanted to give it a shot, or tired of windoze and its constant...umm...yeah
[11:46] <PeRCeVaL> well. ...
[11:47] <kidbuntu> JAva!
[11:47] <kidbuntu> !java
[11:47] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository
[11:47] <Arcad3> sh has less commands then bash?
[11:47] <PeRCeVaL> i have given a few shots in my life, but never had the time to start learning, now that i got few time and finally im bored of windows i decided to give the last try :d
[11:47] <nutterpc> PeRCeVaL:  stick with it man
[11:47] <nutterpc> you'll be glad you did
[11:47] <PeRCeVaL> i know :P
[11:48] <PeRCeVaL> im net admin, and studied some cisco modules
[11:48] <PeRCeVaL> and for what i use computer, linux is the way
[11:48] <Mattias> Ubuntu has 50% fixing most stuff for you, 50% fixing other stuff yourself :P
[11:48] <kidbuntu> why does my firefox require me to install java runtime environment where in fact i already installed sun-jre5
[11:49] <nutterpc> PeRCeVaL:  And what I can suggest, if you want to get more into linux, I'd do either of the following: 1) Spend the time, learn how Linux works yourself, make a few installs, break a few, thearn the hard way
[11:49] <kidbuntu> !java runtime environment
[11:49] <nutterpc> or 2) buy some books on it
[11:49] <PeRCeVaL> i have done few install already :P
[11:49] <distant_voice> Jewfro-Macabbi: I just found a forum thread from someone that gets the same problem, he says the alternate cd doesn't help him
[11:49] <Mattias> i learned linux via gentoo myself ^_^
[11:49] <nutterpc> learn*
[11:49] <koth> Sorry, what is the cmd to get my own IP address?
[11:49] <nutterpc> Mattias: was Debian for me
[11:49] <nutterpc> :P
[11:49] <PeRCeVaL> nutterpc,  to could get my ati working and Beryl and did break linux like 3 times :d
[11:49] <Frogzoo> koth: ifconfig
[11:49] <PeRCeVaL> after the 3 times, when i did something wrong, i knew where the error was
[11:50] <AmaroqWolf> Ubuntu is my first linux. xD
[11:50] <nutterpc> I learnt & got my hands dirty on Debian
[11:50] <PeRCeVaL> and didnt need to reinstall :D
[11:50] <Mattias> my first ever linux was red hat :P
[11:50] <Mattias> lol
[11:50] <koth> thanks
[11:50] <AmaroqWolf> lol
[11:50] <nutterpc> I was told if u could conquer Debian, you could use anything
[11:50] <tahsin> hi after installing kde and setting kdm as default i cant access system>administration>login window
[11:50] <AmaroqWolf> nutterpc, that's what I've heard about gentoo.
[11:50] <nutterpc> now I can use any Linux distro pretty much, as well as BSD
[11:50] <mwe> Mattias: me too. I quicly switched to slackware, though ;)
[11:50] <PeRCeVaL> hehehe good nutterpc
[11:51] <tahsin> and i cant shut down my pc from gnome
[11:51] <Jewfro-Macabbi> distance_voice, it was just a thought, it allows for a few extra things, and doesn't have to load the live part first.
[11:51] <Strom_C> hey guys...I don't want to irritate you by asking the same question over and over, but do any of you know how to manually invoke the automatic xorg hardware probe and configuration tool?
[11:51] <tahsin> hi after installing kde and setting kdm as default i cant access system>administration>login window
[11:51] <PeRCeVaL> Arcad3,  if u still there, where did u tell me for the webcam package?
[11:51] <nutterpc> not off the top of me head Strom_C
[11:51] <PeRCeVaL> ADD-REmove? :d
[11:51] <Frogzoo> Strom_C: run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[11:51] <CheshireViking> i started with slackware about a year ago, 6 months on that & now i mainly use ubuntu, with slack 11, mandriva, knoppix installed for trying different things
[11:51] <distant_voice> Jewfro-Macabbi: it doesn't make sense that the 6.1 boots just fine
[11:51] <Arcad3> yes
[11:51] <Mattias> mwe: for me it was redhat -> mandrake -> suse -> gentoo (for alot of years) -> ubuntu (couldnt afford to have pc up over night to compile updates for entire system) :P
[11:51] <tahsin> and i cant shut down my pc from gnome
[11:51] <Strom_C> Frogzoo: unfortunately that doesn't quite work
[11:52] <Mattias> Portage is great tho ^_^ i just hate compiling stuff
[11:52] <PeRCeVaL> i tryed Mandrake, suse, and now ubuntu :D
[11:52] <nutterpc> PeRCeVaL:  I've managed to make Ubuntu run now like Windows XP in terms of responsiveness
[11:52] <Strom_C> what I'm doing is building an image for re-imaging a number of PCs with unknown video hardware
[11:52] <distant_voice> Jewfro-Macabbi: right now I'm more interested in the problem I'm getting from the 6.1 version, that it doesn't reboot properly after the installation
[11:52] <tahsin> hi after installing kde and setting kdm as default i cant access system>administration>login window
[11:52] <tahsin> HELP!
[11:52] <PeRCeVaL> hahaha nutterpc  nice one :D
[11:52] <mwe> Mattias: heh. I got tired of always compiling stuff in gentoo as well
[11:52] <nutterpc> PeRCeVaL:  I ain't done yet either >)
[11:52] <Mattias> aye, i got fedora core 6 on other computer
[11:52] <koth> is there a default IRC program in ubuntu?
[11:52] <Mattias> lol
[11:52] <PeRCeVaL> nutterpc,  can i pm ya ?
[11:52] <nutterpc> go for it
[11:52] <Jewfro-Macabbi> distant_voice, I had a similar problem once actually now that I think about it. It there by chance a bios upgrade for your mobo? on mine it was a strange acpi error
[11:52] <mwe> Mattias: to be honest I didn't see much of a performance gain anyway
[11:53] <tahsin> hi after installing kde and setting kdm as default i cant access system>administration>login window
[11:53] <tahsin> HELP!
[11:53] <Frogzoo> Strom_C: there's a page in the wiki for creating a customised ubuntu disk
[11:53] <nutterpc> Digitally Imported ftw
[11:53] <Strom_C> Frogzoo: would you mind linking me?
[11:53] <Frogzoo> !appdb | AmaroqWolf
[11:53] <ubotu> AmaroqWolf: Appdb is a database of apps & help for programs that run under wine: see http://appdb.winehq.org
[11:53] <mwe> Mattias: I loved the USE variable in gentoo, though.
[11:53] <Mattias> mwe: tho it was easier to get up to date software in gentoo. i have a hell for that in ubuntu, or get few softwares to work because some stuff in repos is not up to date
[11:53] <AmaroqWolf> Looked in there Frogzoo. xD
[11:53] <distant_voice> Jewfro-Macabbi: I never upgraded a bios, how does that work? is it risky? I don't want to wreck my whole machine
[11:53] <AmaroqWolf> It's a japanese game nobody's ever heard of.
[11:53] <PeRCeVaL> nutterpc,  u got my pm ?
[11:54] <nutterpc> Mattias:  I still find myself drawn to Gentoo tho
[11:54] <nutterpc> PeRCeVaL:  nope
[11:54] <nutterpc> I pm'd you
[11:54] <PeRCeVaL> weird
[11:54] <tahsin> hi after installing kde and setting kdm as default i cant access system>administration>login window
[11:54] <Mattias> Gentoo is very good, if you can stand the compile time
[11:54] <tahsin> HELP!
[11:54] <tahsin> hi after installing kde and setting kdm as default i cant access system>administration>login window
[11:54] <tahsin> HELP!
[11:54] <Mattias> but its advanced too
[11:54] <PeRCeVaL> i cant read you either :D
[11:54] <Arcad3> i gave an user the sh shell and he can use bash too :( how can i prevent that?
[11:54] <Mattias> you need to follow handbook while installing it in tty
[11:54] <nutterpc> PeRCeVaL:  add me on msn....ain't hard to work out what my addy is
[11:54] <cavallo> how I can activete network manager plugin on panel ?
[11:54] <Jewfro-Macabbi> distant_voice, It's not terribly difficult. There's usually instructions in your mobo manual, or on the manufacturers site for making a floppy. You want to make sure the power stays on during the process is all.
[11:54] <CheshireViking> PeRCeVaL, nutterpc, ae you registered with freenode? you can only pm if you're registered
[11:54] <PeRCeVaL> sure
[11:55] <CheshireViking> ae=are
[11:55] <PeRCeVaL> i dont think im registered :D
[11:55] <distant_voice> Jewfro-Macabbi I don't even have a floppy drive
[11:55] <nutterpc> CheshireViking:  not yet mate
[11:55] <PeRCeVaL> nutterpc,  add me percebal@hot.
[11:55] <distant_voice> Jewfro-Macabbi nah, I'll try to work around that
[11:55] <CheshireViking> it might be worth taking the conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:55] <AmaroqWolf> tahsin, someone'll eventually help you. If nobody responds to your request, it means either nobody knows how to help you, somebody is looking up how to help you, or anyone who can help you is already busy.
[11:56] <Jewfro-Macabbi> distant_voice, I think all bios upgrades still use floppies... It's just something to check, if there is even a bios update available, and why...
[11:56] <Rob-West> is it hard to dual boot
[11:56] <mwe> gentoo gives you a super fast system that is always crawling because you compile stuff all the time ;)
[11:56] <nutterpc> added ya PeRCeVaL
[11:56] <Frogzoo> Strom_C: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization
[11:56] <PeRCeVaL> ok
[11:56] <nutterpc> mwe: I've worked a compromise to that under Ubuntu
[11:56] <nutterpc> and I'm still going :P
[11:56] <PeRCeVaL> umm
[11:56] <PeRCeVaL> i dont see ya, gimme ur address
[11:56] <PeRCeVaL> are u tamari ?
[11:57] <nutterpc> lol
[11:57] <nutterpc> no
[11:57] <PeRCeVaL> hahahha
[11:57] <Mattias> i found a great thing in ubuntu yesterday :P  sudo apt-get install build-essentials
[11:57] <Strom_C> Frogzoo: glancing over it, it doesn't seem like what I'm attempting to do...I've already got the image I'd like to use; I'd just like to set it to autoconfigure xorg each time the system boots.  Is that not possible?
[11:57] <Mattias> lol
[11:57] <Arcad3> how can i register to freenode?
[11:57] <nutterpc> think about it dude, pretty easy to guess mine :)
[11:57] <k31th> version!
[11:57] <k31th> !version
[11:57] <paitken> How can I mount .bin files
[11:57] <ubotu> To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type  lsb_release -a  in a !shell
[11:57] <mwe> Mattias: build-essential
[11:57] <Mattias> mwe: btw, im having an error with super maryo chronicles
[11:57] <Frogzoo> Strom_C: sure it's feasible, not sure how
[11:57] <CheshireViking> !register
[11:57] <ubotu> Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[11:58] <Mattias> mwe: ./smc: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_gfx.so.13: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[11:58] <Mattias> mwe: ive installed all libSDL stuff still no go
[11:58] <nutterpc> I noticed when you install Ubuntu, its pretty chuggy to start off with
[11:58] <Mattias> >,<
[11:58] <nutterpc> spent a bit of time working on it, still got a few bits to finish, and she runs like lightning :)
[11:58] <Strom_C> Frogzoo: hmm, alright...thanks for your help anyway :)
[11:59] <Mattias> nutterpc: true, low resolution, 3d drivers, all other media stuff :P
[11:59] <nutterpc> nope
[11:59] <nutterpc> :)
[11:59] <mwe> Mattias: perhaps you can create a symlink to libSDL_gfx.so from libSDL_gfx.so.13 if it's present. That has worked with some things for me
[11:59] <nutterpc> not that at all mate
[11:59] <Frogzoo> Strom_C: kk, gl
[11:59] <Strom_C> thanks
[11:59] <nutterpc> I haven't even gone near Xorg yet
[12:00] <PeRCeVaL> got dced
[12:00] <Strom_C> this has been driving me bonkers for three hours now :)
[12:00] <Mattias> that was all for me
[12:00] <PeRCeVaL> nutterpc,  i got dced
[12:00] <PeRCeVaL> im relogging on msn
[12:00] <nutterpc> the backend of ubuntu has a fair bit you can change about which helps its system responisveness
[12:00] <nutterpc> grr, typo
[12:01] <yomm> 
[12:01] <Mattias> nutterpc: im having few problems with removing stuff, it says stuff like its needed by other applications, i mean, i want to remove scim and alot of stuff, im using uim for example
[12:02] <nutterpc> Mattias:  look on the forums for the guide to using debfoster
[12:03] <Mattias> nutterpc: i don't like guides so ill just install it and try :D
[12:03] <paitken> How can I mount .bin files
[12:03] <nutterpc> Mattias: I strongly suggest reading the guide
[12:03] <Mattias> !debfoster
[12:03] <ubotu> debfoster is a command to weed unnecessary .deb packages. See http://www.fruit.eu.org/debfoster/
[12:03] <olaf-t-hunter> how can i allow login to mysql from another computer
[12:04] <cyclops> I'm looking to map GATOS TV input from my Radeon 7500 AiW card set to a specific channel into a v4l device in the /dev/ tree
[12:05] <koth> is there a default IRC program install with Ubuntu?
[12:05] <koth> !irc
[12:05] <ubotu> irc is Internet Relay Chat - Ubuntu IRC clients: xchat (http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/XChatHowto), gaim (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/GaimHowto), Konversation (http://konversation.berlios.de/docs/), irssi (console) (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Irssi) - Also see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat and !guidelines
[12:05] <nutterpc> koth: use XChat
[12:06] <koth> thanks =)
[12:06] <Jewfro-Macabbi> koth, xchat or bitchx
[12:06] <koth> o bitchx, i remeber that =D
[12:06] <nutterpc> either 2 are good
[12:07] <koth> let see if i can get my ubuntu box get onto irc now =D

[12:08] <Mattias> equals, music even without xorg, and irc and torrent :D
[12:08] <Mattias> mplayer works without xorg too :)
[12:08] <Mattias> who needs xorg really? :D
[12:09] <AmaroqWolf> Your system needs xorg. xD
[12:09] <Mattias> i think ill uninstall it :P
[12:09] <AmaroqWolf> Try renaming xorg.conf first
[12:10] <AmaroqWolf> then restart your system
[12:10] <AmaroqWolf> you'll see
[12:10] <AmaroqWolf> :P
[12:10] <Mattias> ctrl+alt+f1
[12:10] <Mattias> woot im in TTY! :DF
[12:11] <AmaroqWolf> Just in case you can't get back here, there is a terminal based IRC client. :P
[12:11] <koth> ok, i cannot even get back in ubuntu now =D black screen again, wrong res again!
[12:13] <koth> how can i stop xorg auto detect res?
[12:14] <Mattias> great, ubuntu has lots of bugs :P
[12:16] <cavallo> how I can get network manager plugin to the panel ?
[12:16] <Jewfro-Macabbi> cvallo, right click the panel, "add to panel"
[12:16] <olaf-t-hunter> anyone know why my file sharing options are not available in kubuntu?
[12:16] <Jewfro-Macabbi> cavallo even
[12:17] <cavallo> yeah, but I dont have it there ? :/
[12:17] <Mattias> i got black screen in xorg when i went back :P and then system froze so i couldnt go back to tty and fix the error :P had to shut down comp
[12:17] <olaf-t-hunter> anyone know why my file sharing options are not available in kubuntu?
[12:18] <Jewfro-Macabbi> olaf-t-hunter, not sure on kubuntu exactly, but there's a option under administration for "shared folders" on gnome.
[12:18] <cavallo> Jewfro-Macabbi: I have installed it but its not there :/
[12:19] <Jewfro-Macabbi> cavallo, never made a custom one myself, can't help you with that
[12:20] <olaf-t-hunter> i think something isnt installed
[12:20] <olaf-t-hunter> you cant read the text at the top
[12:20] <olaf-t-hunter> its ben chopped up
[12:21] <koth_> woho, xchat it is
[12:22] <babo> so I've apt-get'd gsynpatics. But apparently I have to change my xorg.conf file. How can I read about changes I have to make in the package ?
[12:22] <koth_> which torrent client is the best?
[12:22] <babo> where did the .deb put the README File ?
[12:22] <hdxx> koth: for me ktorrent
[12:23] <koth_> hdxx: but if i am not using kde? =)
[12:23] <hdxx> koth_: i'm using gnome too, but i still have ktorrent
[12:24] <koth_> ic! time to try it
[12:24] <AmaroqWolf> hdxx: there is a bittorrent you can install. I couldn't get ktorrent to work on my gnome.
[12:24] <AmaroqWolf> sudo aptitude search torrent
[12:25] <hdxx> AmaroqWolf: for mw work great.
[12:25] <hdxx> koth_: you can try qibttorrent or deluge too
[12:26] <koth_> seem like there is a lot of choice out there
[12:26] <olaf-t-hunter> needed to install some stuff thats why the file sharing wasnt working
[12:27] <hdxx> we can hope for utorrent on linux :)
[12:27] <koth_> i am impress by ubuntu that has build in vncserver
[12:28] <koth_> enough for tonight, atlease get ubuntu running now. Thanks everyone. night
[12:32] <olaf-t-hunter> Grr, why cant i connect to this silly computer
[12:33] <redear> hi, i am considering using ubuntu, is there a help channel?
[12:33] <hdxx> yes
[12:34] <redear> what is the difference between 6.10 and 6.06 LTS?
[12:34] <redear> is LTS something granted every so often?
[12:35] <hdxx> 6.10 is newer :P
[12:35] <redear> like.. every three years for desktop?
[12:35] <mackinac> !lts | redear
[12:35] <ubotu> redear: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.
[12:35] <babo> how do I check my mail headers in gmail ?
[12:35] <da_z> anyone wants to propose to ubuntu the gobolinux file hierarchy and concepts ?
[12:36] <redear> mackinac: so i guess the question is, what do you have to do to your 6.06 LTS installed on your machine before people won't support you because it is not the way it was out of the box?
[12:36] <redear> i am worried i don't really understand what the logic of the LTS is
[12:37] <redear> when you install 6.06 LTS and you do normal patching to security problems and the like, it is still a 6.06 LTS right?
[12:37] <mneptok> redear: you aren't an enterprise with high reliability needs.
[12:37] <Eons> hi there! i need help on getting NetworkManager to identify correctly my static ethernet connection
[12:37] <cyphase> anyone know what happened to Diva? the video editor..
[12:37] <Eons> there is any howto, tutorial
[12:37] <cafuego_> redear: yes
[12:37] <sharyari> elo
[12:37] <Eons> something like that?
[12:37] <mackinac> babo:  there should be a "show details" link at the top
[12:38] <ritchiee> Hey guys, I have a Zoom ADSL USB Modem model: 5510B.  I have searched throughout google for some information on getting it to work, I have found a little amount mostly regarding 5510 models and 5510A models, wondering if anyone is familiar with the modem and if they know it can work in linux, if it can i'll try the 5510A drivers?
[12:38] <sharyari> Anyone know how to install a newer version of the nvidia drivers? I followed a howto and... it didn't work. Took me half an hour to fix it again
[12:38] <redear> cafuego_: so if you start making major changes to a 6.06 LTS box, like trying to jack in an unofficial deb package or whatever, then it is no longer something the support guys can figure out right?
[12:38] <redear> say updating python or something major
[12:38] <babo> mackinac: yeah, that's just the To:/From: headers, I need to see the full email headers ...
[12:39] <cafuego_> redear: Depends on how badly you break it
[12:39] <redear> cafuego_: okay
[12:39] <cafuego_> redear: If you add a newer kernel, fine..if you upgrade libc6, all bets are off.
[12:39] <redear> okay
[12:40] <redear> so if you want to get some new apps installed, or upgrade python or something
[12:40] <redear> as long as it doesn't break the major plumbing it's cool eh?
[12:40] <redear> i guess i'll come and check with you guys to see if you think it will break the definition of 6.06 LTS if I update something major
[12:40] <redear> but yeah, libc6
[12:40] <redear> that's pretty big
[12:41] <redear> thanks guys, much obliged
[12:41] <zion> hello
[12:41] <mneptok> redear: that will render your LTS unsupported
[12:41] <redear> mneptok: what will? updating python?
[12:42] <redear> mneptok: i am thinking of setting up some LAMP servers and ensuring that what i do on the box is pretty close to something support guys can understand
[12:42] <redear> also a few turbogears servers backing to either MySQL, Postgres or Oracle
[12:43] <redear> just want to ensure I am not making life impossible for the support guys
[12:43] <mneptok> redear: new glib = not LTS
[12:43] <redear> turbogears for example is in a lot of flux
[12:43] <redear> mneptok: oh okay
[12:43] <redear> yeah i have this feeling i won't be updating that
[12:43] <mneptok> redear: *what* support guys?
[12:43] <mackinac> babo:  there's an arrow in the top right corner, next to reply ... select "show original"
[12:43] <redear> won't be updating libc6
[12:43] <Mattias> redear: why not just get latest ubuntu and ask for help in here? ^_^
[12:44] <WaZ> hi all
[12:44] <redear> i mean if i buy support from a place like Canonical, or asking the community here for help
[12:44] <olaf-t-hunter> anyone know how i start Samba???
[12:45] <WaZ> you sure it isn't started olaf?
[12:45] <babo> mackinac: k thanks :-)
[12:45] <olaf-t-hunter> not certain, but how would i check?
[12:45] <redear> turbogears for eample is changing a lot, and it uses pretty cutting edge version of python and apache, creating a lot of head ache
[12:45] <redear> i hope version 6.06 will have python 2.4
[12:45] <redear> which is what turbogears documentation prescribes
[12:45] <WaZ> in places> Network Servers
[12:46] <redear> if not i'll have to use 6.10
[12:46] <IdleOne> !info python
[12:46] <ubotu> python: An interactive high-level object-oriented language (default version). In component main, is important. Version 2.4.3-11ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 37 kB, installed size 208 kB
[12:47] <mneptok> redear: you do NOT want to change core libraries and then purchase Canonical support. trust me. ;)
[12:47] <redear> i am going to give ubuntu v6.06 LTS server edition first, wish me luck:)
[12:47] <redear> mneptok: i am NOT going to change libc6
[12:47] <olaf-t-hunter> sorry im just starting with linux where's places? :)
[12:47] <redear> but things like updating apache, python, mysql, postgres
[12:47] <mneptok> redear: better is to identify problems, then ask us for fixes or backports to LTS.
[12:47] <redear> very probable
[12:47] <WaZ> you run Ubuntu right?
[12:47] <olaf-t-hunter> kubuntu
[12:48] <boguh> hi, just activated bitmap fonts an now my fonts in firefox look crap. what to do??
[12:48] <WaZ> it should be in the top bar next to applications
[12:48] <WaZ> oh
[12:48] <redear> mneptok: oh i see
[12:48] <WaZ> haven't used kubuntu
[12:48] <WaZ> but it should be in the file manager
[12:48] <mneptok> redear: and Edgy is supported. and Feisty will be, too.
[12:49] <panclock> I found the problem with my firefox.
[12:49] <redear> mneptok: so does that mean if i need a new version of some user-land app (along with it's dependencies, where the dependencies is never as nasty as requiring a new libc), it should be okay to do so right?
[12:49] <mneptok> redear: LTS exists for people that want NO changes. a rock-solid, unmalleable platform.
[12:49] <panclock> In firefox.dump after I used the strace -o in a terminal.
[12:49] <redear> mneptok: yeah that's what i want
[12:49] <redear> i want LTS
[12:50] <babu> Hello everybody, Im in new user, I want to install MRTG but I didnt pls help
[12:50] <mneptok> redear: then you don't go upgrading the core infrastructure unless you *have* to
[12:50] <redear> mneptok: okay you are repeating yourself, does that mean you don't think i get it? because then i have to ask you what you mean by core infrastructure and what's not
[12:50] <ingo_> ciao a tutti
[12:51] <mneptok> redear: anything you install yourself will be unsupported. we support our packages in main, with very few exceptions.
[12:51] <WaZ> olaf-t-hunter: it should be in Network Folders
[12:51] <ingo_> ragazzi ho un fastidioso suono con lo scroll mentre uso beryl
[12:51] <redear> like for example, you might have a packaging system that depends on python or perl
[12:51] <ingo_> ops
[12:51] <redear> if i went and update python, that MIGHT break the packaging system
[12:51] <yomm>  When I'm logged in a terminal as root how do I launch a process or app (e.g. VLC ) as my main regular user ? do I have to su -mainuser ?
[12:51] <WaZ> otherwise google is helpful: http://kubuntu101.blogspot.com/2005/11/how-to-share-files-using-samba.html
[12:51] <IdleOne> !it | ingo_
[12:51] <ubotu> ingo_: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[12:51] <redear> so is the packaging system part of this core infrastructure you are talking about or not?
[12:51] <mneptok> redear: see my last comment.
[12:51] <redear> things like yum for example, may require a specific version of python
[12:52] <redear> okay
[12:52] <hdxx> yomm: su username
[12:52] <mneptok> redear: yum?
[12:52] <redear> mneptok: thanks man
[12:52] <olaf-t-hunter> hmm i think im blind
[12:52] <christopherl> anyone know if there's any bluetooth gamepad for computer?
[12:52] <Mattias> redear: yum is for fedora core no?
[12:52] <redear> mneptok: i mean ubuntu's equivalent to yum
[12:52] <redear> i don't mean yum proper
[12:52] <Mevunky> right so, ubuntu and macbook, the trackpad is way oversensitive even with it turned down as much as possible, whats the best fix?
[12:52] <redear> yum is fedora/centos/redhat
[12:52] <mneptok> *apt*
[12:52] <QBab> Hello
[12:53] <redear> mneptok: thre you go
[12:53] <QBab> thx
[12:53] <redear> you took the word right out of my mouth
[12:53] <mneptok> redear: basically, "if you compiled it, we won't help you"
[12:53] <yomm> hdxx : I figured that out , but the you have to su all the time .. I was wondering if it could work like  : $ VLC --runasmainuser
[12:53] <WaZ> Mevunky: use a USB mouse :D (sorry)
[12:53] <redear> so i am worried about upgrading something like
[12:53] <redear> that
[12:53] <yomm> then*
[12:53] <redear> mneptok: okay then, i better figure out what goes into the main packages of 6.06 LTS
[12:53] <redear> is that listed somewhere?

[12:55] <babu> anyone helo
[12:55] <babu> help
[12:55] <WaZ> hey babu
[12:55] <babu> hello
[12:55] <babu> im in new user
[12:56] <babu> waz, could u pls tell how i install mrtg
[12:56] <hdxx> yomm: i don't know, because i use sudo
[12:56] <WaZ> have u tried synaptic?
[12:56] <babu> yah
[12:56] <babu> there is nothing
[12:56] <Mevunky> WaZ: that makes me sad though.  apart from gnome gui mouse, i must be able to config the speed and sense more via xorg.conf or something? or have they improved macbook support in 7.04
[12:57] <yomm> hdxx : just wondering if there was a shortcut :)
[12:57] <redear> mneptok: i don't know if you guys keep track of karms
[12:57] <redear> mneptok++
[12:57] <redear> mneptok++
[12:57] <redear> mneptok++
[12:57] <redear> you've been very big help
[12:57] <WaZ> Mevunky: I woudln't know
[12:58] <WaZ> babu: try sudo apt-get install mrtg
[12:58] <WaZ> in terminal
[12:59] <babu> i install it but there is some problem to show
[12:59] <redear> to recap: the only changes to main packages should be officially offered patches and security fixes from ubuntu, that way the 6.06 LTS you have remains something the support guys can understand
[12:59] <Eposhark> Heh? I just compiled a kernel under Debian on a 166MHz pc, but I can't find the deb in /usr/src
[12:59] <Strom_C> hey guys...apologies for asking again, but do any of you know how to manually invoke the video hardware detection that the ubuntu 6.10 install CD performs automatically before starting X?
[12:59] <babu> to configure snmp
[01:00] <Eposhark>  If no error occurs you will find the new kernel as a Debian package called kernel-image-2.4.23_custom.1.0_i386.deb  under /usr/src. > not quite, there is no such thing
[01:00] <redear> 6.06 LTS is a mouthful, i think i'll just call it dapper from now on
[01:00] <babu> waz, i already configure mrtg.conf but there is written snmp error
[01:00] <WaZ> have you installed snmpd?
[01:00] <babu> yah
[01:01] <WaZ> babu: http://www.debianadmin.com/mrtg-installation-and-configuration-in-debian-based-distributions-2.html
[01:01] <mackinac> Strom_C:  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:01] <chable> ABit is stoopid
[01:01] <chable> i will never buy another of their products
[01:02] <redear> hey does dapper drake (both server and desktop) work pretty good on new versions of vmware workstation? i have vmware workstation 5.5 and i would love to be able to run dapper drake as guest OSes
[01:02] <Strom_C> mackinac: yeah, i've already been down that road - that's not the comprehensive autoconfiguration the install CD does
[01:02] <chable> i cant install any linux distro on this stoopid motherboard
[01:02] <chable> CD-rom not detected
[01:03] <redear> if it works, does it support things like drag and drop file copy, VMware display drivers, etc etc?
[01:03] <babu> waz, Now you need to restart the snmp service
[01:03] <babu> #/etc/init.d/snmpd restart
[01:03] <babu> The configuration file creating using
[01:03] <babu> #cfgmaker public@localhost > /etc/mrtg.cfg
[01:03] <babu> Creating a configuration file for a device using cfgmaker
[01:03] <babu> #cfgmaker public@192.168.0.1 >> /etc/mrtg.cfg
[01:03] <babu> With the configuration file created correctly theres only one other thing you have to do and thats to use the indexmaker utility to create the summary home page. Since you have to re-run this command every time you make certain changes to the /etc/mrtg.cfg configuration file. then
[01:03] <WaZ> babu: phone
[01:03] <babu> here cfgmaker is not working
[01:03] <redear> answer found
[01:03] <redear> http://www.thoughtpolice.co.uk/vmware/howto/ubuntu-server-6.06-dapper-drake-vmware-tools-install.html
[01:03] <mneptok> redear: glad to be of help
[01:04] <redear> mneptok: thank you for working through the questions with me, i have no idea what's going on
[01:04] <redear> really appreciate your patience
[01:05] <redear> how often does Canonical and the ubuntu community hope to mint a release as LTS?
[01:05] <babu> waz, i complete before this line > Creating a configuration file for a device using cfgmaker
[01:05] <babu> #cfgmaker public@192.168.0.1 >> /etc/mrtg.cfg

[01:05] <jogis> peoples how set up usb adsl modem? helppppp
[01:05] <redear> once every two years? once a year?
[01:05] <redear> twice a year?
[01:05] <IdleOne> !adsl | jogis
[01:05] <ubotu> jogis: Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE
[01:06] <jogis> IdleOne thanx
[01:06] <IdleOne> np
[01:07] <mneptok> redear: feel free to use the web portal to ask questions about Canonical support
[01:07] <redear> oh LTS is Canonical specific?
[01:07] <redear> i had no idea
[01:07] <babu> waz , r u there
[01:08] <mneptok> redear: nothing to do with LTS
[01:08] <redear> oh okay
[01:08] <mneptok> redear: Canonical offers commercial support for all releases
[01:08] <mneptok> redear: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/paid/webtolead
[01:08] <redear> i'll try to keep the two separate
[01:08] <mneptok> redear: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/paid
[01:09] <redear> hmm how do i ask this question... how often do LTS releases come out?
[01:09] <mneptok> "when they're ready" ;)
[01:09] <redear> oh okay
[01:09] <mneptok> there will be another LTS release before Dapper goes EOL
[01:10] <astan> hello. i installed python-urlgrabber, but "import urlgrabber" says no such module, do i need to do something special?
[01:11] <redear> oh then that sounds like, at the very worst, the next desktop LTS will be out before the dapper desktop LTS EOL's, and the next server LTS  will be out before the dapperserver LTS EOL's
[01:11] <astan> dpkg-query -L python-urlgrabber shows that the files are installed..
[01:11] <redear> that's a reasonable logical assumption i guess ;-)
[01:11] <Arcad3> i make paid support cheap :D
[01:12] <redear> is there an update network similar to um windows update, so i know when critical security updates ought to be patched?
[01:12] <jogis> IdleOne you have skype?
[01:12] <Mattias> anyone know about buying preinstalled linux'es from any company selling pc's? couldnt find anything on dell.com
[01:12] <Mattias> or just something without windows on :P
[01:12] <Mattias> and mac :P
[01:12] <redear> Mattias: i think you can buy it with windows, and then ask for a refund
[01:13] <redear> either ask for it at buying time, over the phone with Dell, or ask for it after the PCs have arrived
[01:13] <IdleOne> jogis, no but you can ask any question about skype in here and someone will try to help or in #skype
[01:13] <Mattias> okay ^_^
[01:13] <Arcad3> in romania all new pc,s have Mandrake..preinstalled
[01:13] <redear> Mattias: but since Dell doesn't sell Ubuntu, why would you want it preinstalled, except maybe to get all the drivers all in one place in a CD
[01:13] <manelic> hi guys! i have a problem when installing beryl-plugins: apt get says that that package provides libdbus.so, which is also provided by beryl-dbus. is there any way to force any overwrite of files with apt-get or something?
[01:13] <redear> right?
[01:13] <Mattias> redear: i just read an article about dell starting to sell
[01:14] <jogis> IdleOne ok but my d-link-200 modem works on usb :( and i cant configure it :(
[01:14] <redear> Mattias: oh cool
[01:14] <Mattias> redear: i mean, preinstalled with ubuntu / opensuse and one mor
[01:14] <IdleOne> !modem
[01:14] <ubotu> You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DialupModemHowto
[01:14] <redear> Mattias: then if they don't update the website so that ubuntu is shown as something you can select in the shopping cart, make sure to call them up, make a follow up call to ensure they understand you want the Ubuntu and want a refund on the OEM Windows license
[01:14] <redear> i think that's what people have done, and Dell has been mostly accomodating
[01:15] <Mattias> redear: aah no, i read that wrong,  its "Pre-Installed Linux Tops Dell Customer Requests"
[01:15] <CheshireViking> Mattias, this place sells laptops with linux preinstalled http://www.linuxemporium.co.uk/products/laptops/ - but not dells
[01:15] <redear> i think it's okay to buy Dells, just call them and ask for a refund on the OEM Windows
[01:15] <Mattias> redear: http://www.dellideastorm.com/article/show/61771  full article
[01:15] <redear> like try call them and ask today
[01:15] <Mattias> yeah, they refund it 100%
[01:15] <redear> Mattias: thanks for the URL
[01:16] <redear> but i would say you should check whether all the parts you are about to buy are fully supported
[01:16] <redear> this is especially a problem with video cards, and integrated components on lappies
[01:16] <Mattias> i was thinking of dual core, or should i go 64bits?
[01:17] <redear> what kind of box are you thinking of getting?
[01:17] <CheshireViking> i'd buy Dell for linux personally - recently installed Ubuntu on my employer provided Latitude D400 - everything I've tried has worked hardware wise - even wireless working out of the box
[01:17] <Mattias> which one is better? :P
[01:17] <Mattias> redear: basically something fast ^_^ high end desktop
[01:17] <redear> AMD offers value for a lot of computational power
[01:17] <Mattias> i was thinking of waiting for the next generation cpu's tho
[01:17] <nutterpc> back soon
[01:17] <redear> but if you intend to experiment with illegal stuff like Mac OS X, you'll need an Intel
[01:18] <redear> but this is 2007, if Oracle won't support AMD they are being stupid
[01:18] <redear> so you should be fine in terms of compatibility
[01:18] <redear> s/they/Oracle/
[01:18] <bayu_kr> how to update my repository
[01:18] <Mattias> i was thinking dual geforce 8800 GT SLI ^_^
[01:18] <Mattias> and um some strong cpu :D
[01:18] <Mattias> and 4gb of ram
[01:18] <redear> Mattias: get a Pentium II, and send me the money instead, my final advise
[01:18] <redear> advice
[01:18] <Mattias> lol
[01:19] <astan> ah, nevermind, it seems it was installing a module for python2.5, i was running 2.4.
[01:20] <pitillo> hi good morning. I am using edgy and I have a doubt. SMP is supported by linux-image-...-generic ?
[01:20] <redear> Mattias: lately intel has taken a slight lead with core 2 duos
[01:20] <redear> in performance/heat signature, i don't know in terms of pricing
[01:20] <Mattias> redear: i heard intel was working on a new cpu, forgot the name, but it was going to be lots of hot :D
[01:21] <redear> if you can find a core 2 duo in the price/performance sweet spot and after adding the motherboard it is about equivalent to the AMD side of the story
[01:21] <redear> i would personally probably go for Intel
[01:21] <redear> since i am one of those people a special level of hell would be reserved for
[01:21] <astan> how can i switch to python2.5 as my default python?
[01:21] <ikonia_> change your path ?
[01:21] <broedje> /exit
[01:21] <Mattias> redear: whats with the extreme edition?  "intel Dual Core 2 Extreme"
[01:22] <redear> the level of hell for people who run the illegal mac os x on non-apple intels
[01:22] <bayu_kr> hello??? any body can help me... how to update my repository
[01:22] <redear> Mattias: I don't know. I always buy the one in the price/performance sweet spot of the day
[01:22] <whonicca> is it just me or has anyone noticed that unrarring a large file takes longer on nix than on win
[01:22] <redear> so it's never the fastest
[01:23] <astan> ikonia_: hm. okay. /usr/bin/python is a link to /usr/bin/python2.4, i was just thinking if there's an official way to switch to 2.5, instead of just re-creating that link to point to /usr/bin/python2.5.
[01:23] <ikonia_> astan just re-createthe link
[01:23] <astan> ikonia_: alright. thanks.
[01:23] <redear> Mattias: find one you like, let us know how it does with ubuntu :)
[01:23] <Mattias> redear: i think ill wait for next gen cpu / 3d cards, and then wait 4 months until prices are lowered and then buy :D
[01:23] <Mattias> which might be 2009 :P
[01:23] <Mattias> or 2008 :D
[01:23] <redear> Mattias: hahaha
[01:23] <Mattias> maybe this year? :D
[01:23] <redear> that's a long wait
[01:24] <Mevunky> 8 series cards are here
[01:24] <Mattias> or until this computer can'thandle top games anymore
[01:24] <Mevunky> lower end ones comming through which is nice
[01:24] <Mattias> well im using p4 3.4ghz geforce 7800 gt atm
[01:24] <Mattias> kinda old cpu
[01:24] <ikonia_> can we cut the hardware discussion please ?
[01:24] <Mevunky> yes considering a core2 at 1.66 eats it
[01:25] <redear> Mattias: yeah there are hardware channels
[01:25] <ikonia_> thanks guys
[01:25] <redear> this is #ubuntu :-)
[01:25] <stephane> hi first time for me on Xchat
[01:25] <Mattias> stephane: can i recommend irssi? ^_^
[01:25] <phazeman> does anybody here uses photoshop under crossover office or wine ? i need to know if the CameraRaw plugin works as well.. ?
[01:26] <stephane> irssi ? mattias
[01:26] <Mattias> phazeman: which digial system camera are you using?
[01:26] <phazeman> Mattias: canon
[01:26] <Mattias> stephane: best irc client there is for linux ^_^
[01:26] <PeRCeVaL> Arcad3,  i have been looking for that webcam package but i dont find it :D
[01:26] <Mattias> phazeman: well i just reinstalled to ubuntu so lost the name of the app i used to my nikon d70s raw format
[01:27] <stephane> phazeman use gimp
[01:27] <Mattias> gimp lacks cmyk and doesnt support all raw's
[01:27] <Mattias> and other stuff
[01:27] <phazeman> Mattias: i mean - i know i can run photoshop under ubuntu/kubuntu with crossover office and i've done it myself, but i've ever tried to open any raw files with it. i want to kill my w$ now and go back to full time linux but the photoshop issue is the only one that stops me
[01:27] <Mattias> gimp = hobby paint,  photoshop = commercial high end images
[01:27] <stephane> mattias I'm on ubuntu Xchat-gnome
[01:27] <g1gaman> can i run ubuntu installer from cd, if i boot with cdrom support from windows98 start-up floppy? there is no possibility to make cdrom as boot device in bios :(
[01:28] <javiolo> hi
[01:28] <PeRCeVaL> Arcad3,  u still there?
[01:28] <phazeman> stephane: it's a veeeery long and strong war between those two but i, personaly, think that gimp is REALLY not ready
[01:28] <javiolo> is it possible to uninstall gaim without uninstalling ubuntu-desktop ?
[01:28] <Mattias> gimp has patent issues i believe so it can't fully build up completly
[01:28] <phazeman> Mattias: i can show you a screenshot of mine with photoshop 7 on kubuntu
[01:29] <phazeman> Mattias: it's just lacks the basic functionality for me
[01:29] <Mattias> phazeman: if photoshop works, then the camera raw plugin should work too no?
[01:29] <g1gaman> javiolo: i am sure, it is. just run synaptic package manager
[01:29] <phazeman> Mattias: thats the thing that the raw plugin doesn't sit on the same place with photoshop and all it's plugins
[01:29] <clust> Hi, can anybody help me how to setup a Call of Duty 2 server on ubuntu?
[01:29] <phazeman> Mattias: its separated
[01:29] <g1gaman> javiolo: and unchek gaim.
[01:29] <phazeman> Mattias: i need to be sure 100%
[01:30] <javiolo> g1gaman already tried that and sudo aptitude remove gaim
[01:30] <Mattias> phazeman: your not on ubuntu now and with photoshop?
[01:30] <phazeman> Mattias: nop, i'm on windows at home because of the photoshop issue
[01:31] <phazeman> Mattias: but i really wanted to come back to linux. the only thing stopping me for now is the photoshop issue
[01:31] <g1gaman> javiolo: it wont work. go to system->admin.-> synaptic package manager
[01:31] <phazeman> Mattias: i know 99% that codeweavers crossover doesn't support the installshiled of PS CS2, but i know a trick to make it work
[01:31] <javiolo> g1gaman I already tried that :)
[01:31] <Mattias> phazeman: tried their irc channel here on freenode? #crossover
[01:32] <g1gaman> javiolo: have you marked gaim for uninstall?
[01:32] <phazeman> Mattias: nop.. not yet.. will try now :)
[01:32] <g1gaman> can i run ubuntu installer from cd, if i boot with cdrom support from windows98 start-up floppy? there is no possibility to make cdrom as boot device in bios :(
[01:32] <javiolo> g1gaman yes
[01:32] <g1gaman> javiolo: what is the name of installer and where can i find it?
[01:33] <okias> Hi, ext2 or ext3? only for documents, i need max. free space...

[01:33] <PeRCeVaL> dunno where to get a package of drivers
[01:34] <phazeman> PeRCeVaL: plug it out, then open your /var/log/messages with tail , plug the camera in and see the name of it and the brand in the log. then google for it

[01:39] <Mattias> okias: its the fastest filesystem, its an atomic filesystem, which means that your filesystem operations either entirely occur, or they entirely don't, and they don't corrupt due to half occuring. it uses dancing trees, is based on plugins, and has an architected for military grade security ;)

[01:49] <phazeman> PeRCeVaL: now try to work with your camer
[01:49] <phazeman> camera
[01:49] <PeRCeVaL> ok
[01:49] <PeRCeVaL> let me see
[01:49] <Dna^> hello
[01:49] <TexasTaz> installing it now does it have the mp3 codec by default? amarok I mean
[01:49] <PeRCeVaL> but i havent installed anydriver
[01:49] <WaZ> kyug: you need to make double entries in xorg.conf
[01:49] <phazeman> PeRCeVaL: you just did with me
[01:49] <phazeman> TexasTaz: apt-cache search codec | grep amarok
[01:49] <WaZ> kyug: never tried it myself tho
[01:49] <kyug> well I have xorg.conf that basically works well and I have dual monitor set up
[01:50] <PeRCeVaL> its not working
[01:50] <TexasTaz> phazeman You do that one more time
[01:50] <TexasTaz> rofl
[01:50] <PORDO> X is a mess.
[01:50] <kyug> but it doesn't detect that the external is not connected
[01:50] <Dna^> how i cann't listen my mp3s on ubuntu hoary...and i have all the packg...
[01:50] <phazeman> TexasTaz: yteah man.. thats me... :)
[01:50] <WaZ> kyug: I think the whole trick is to have two displays
[01:50] <kyug> which is very confusing when u use laptop itself
[01:50] <phazeman> PeRCeVaL: lsmod | grep spc
[01:50] <flamesrock> I want to put ubuntu on my laptop, but my question is, ubuntu or kubuntu?
[01:50] <PeRCeVaL> spca5xx               637648  0
[01:50] <PeRCeVaL> videodev               10752  1 spca5xx

[01:51] <WaZ> kyug: ah yeah, i can't help sorry, haven't tried it yet ;-)
[01:51] <wootcakes> well that was scary
[01:51] <kyug> WaZ: ok thanks anyway
[01:51] <olaf-t-hunter> what are the differences between kubuntu and ubunut?
[01:51] <phazeman> olaf-t-hunter: gnome with kde
[01:51] <WaZ> olaf-t-hunter: ubuntu = gnome kubuntu = KDE
[01:51] <flamesrock> I know what the differences are, I want to know which is smoother
[01:52] <flamesrock> a better overall experience
[01:52] <phazeman> PeRCeVaL: your camera is up and running now. try to see for some errors in the /var/log/messages
[01:52] <olaf-t-hunter> ahh that makes sense
[01:52] <PeRCeVaL> ok
[01:52] <flamesrock> I'm used to KDE, but if gnome is faster overall, i'll use that
[01:52] <flamesrock> so what do you guys think?
[01:52] <phazeman> flamesrock: it's the same. you want fast - go to fluxbox or e17
[01:52] <WaZ> flamesrock: if you don't know gnome and kde, go for ubuntu first, but it's a co:pletely arbitrary tip
[01:53] <PeRCeVaL> Feb 20 13:48:21 perceval-desktop kernel: [17187546.564000]  Linux video capture interface: v1.00

[01:53] <olaf-t-hunter> right im nearly there
[01:53] <WaZ> flamesrock: you can always "install' kde on ubuntu and basically end up with kubuntu
[01:53] <phazeman> PeRCeVaL: your camera should be working now
[01:53] <PeRCeVaL> ok
[01:53] <PeRCeVaL> ty
[01:53] <flamesrock> true, but then I'm left with wasted packages :/
[01:53] <phazeman> try starting some app and see if the lamp on the camera turns on (the small green one usually)
[01:54] <PeRCeVaL> it doenst turn on
[01:54] <TexasTaz> Okay guys what do I use to convert my mp3's to ogg cuz this is failing and giving error
[01:54] <WaZ> flamesrock: if you like KDE, go for kubuntu ;-)
[01:54] <olaf-t-hunter> can you run php on mongrel?
[01:54] <phazeman> TexasTaz: i was usualy running grip or something
[01:54] <phazeman> PeRCeVaL: hmmm...
[01:56] <phazeman> PeRCeVaL: did you try looking for it on the ubuntu forums ?
[01:56] <PeRCeVaL> yah
[01:56] <phazeman> PeRCeVaL: it's just i don't have the device here and i don't have much time to look for it
[01:56] <phazeman> PeRCeVaL: nothing ?
[01:56] <PeRCeVaL> nah
[01:56] <PeRCeVaL> i will try more later
[01:56] <PeRCeVaL> ty for ur help man
[01:57] <phazeman> you are welcome
[01:57] <phazeman> welp.. going to work for a little... :)

[02:00] <WaZ> kein problem ich spreche nur ein bissen deutsch :D
[02:00] <peyrolr> vdr program says "please turn off UTF-8 before starting VDR". My problem is locale shows that I am not using UTF8. so I am at a loss to understand where it manages to find some UTF8. any idea (using edgy)?
[02:00] <Mac40DO> How can I get bind to work with idn-domains?
[02:00] <TexasTaz> I am not ripping from cd I just need to convert them

[02:03] <WaZ> gilnim: lol good thinking :D
[02:03] <gilnim> WaZ: Do you have a good idea to do that?
[02:04] <whonicca> does writing large files to ntfs take longer than ext3?
[02:04] <WaZ> gilnim: just a sec
[02:06] <gilnim> whonicca: I think so.
[02:06] <WaZ> gilnim: shred -f -z /dev/yourhd
[02:06] <gilnim> thanks
[02:07] <WaZ> it can take a long time gilnim
[02:07] <gilnim> ok
[02:07] <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, with an without the server in the picture an it keeps coming back to the server being the only time things slowdown. I replaced all the nics just earlier today. Any clues from you experts?
[02:07] <timon> Can PLS somebody help me? I have a problem with Ubuntu installation...
[02:08] <WaZ> timon: what problem?
[02:08] <Dna^> hello
[02:08] <timon> @WAZ: I want to install Ubuntu 6.06 & 6.10 but i get a XSERVER error :( Can u help me?
[02:09] <WaZ>   -z, --zero     add a final overwrite with zeros to hide shredding > yeah like a whole partition full of zeroes is not an indication of shredding :D
[02:09] <WaZ> timon: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:09] <Dna^> i have a problem i just installed xmms and when i try to play a mp3 the xmmsplayer stops doing nothing
[02:10] <timon> @ WaZ : I write /etc/X11/xorg.conf...its the same?
[02:10] <WaZ> timon: reconfigure should rewrite the file
[02:11] <WaZ> timon: if live cd works, it should work after install
[02:11] <whonicca> Dna^, aptitude install mpg321
[02:11] <valehru> Hey guys, do any of ye know an open source free web based app that can track use case, manage testing and bugs etc?  I want to set it up on my Lan and use it to manage my project

[02:13] <WaZ> you to TexasTaz
[02:13] <slippyr4> hi all. in edgy, by default, fstab contains uuid's for partitions to mount instead of device names. is it possible to do this is dapper? it uses device names. also in dapper, "vol_id" isn;t installed. can anyone say what package it's in?
[02:14] <ikonia_> slippyr4 the device component in the kernel isn't updated to the correct level to use the device id's
[02:14] <Dna^> whonicca No candidate version found for mpg321
[02:14] <TexasTaz> LaterZ
[02:15] <WaZ> Dna^: might need to add other repositories
[02:15] <whonicca> yea =P
[02:15] <slippyr4> ikonia: ok, nm
[02:15] <WaZ> in System>Administration>Software sources
[02:15] <slippyr4> now i get to find out if pvmove is broken. it's broken in edgy
[02:15] <WaZ> how did it go hdxx?
[02:16] <ikonia_> slippyr4 pvmove works
[02:16] <hdxx> WaZ: didn't work :(
[02:16] <WaZ> did you add the lines at the bottom of your xorg.conf?
[02:16] <hdxx> yes
[02:16] <WaZ> to disable AIGXL and Composite
[02:16] <hdxx> i can copy xrog on pastbin
[02:16] <WaZ> did you start the session as xgl?
[02:17] <hdxx> i tryped beryl-manager
[02:17] <Dna^> WaZ wich repositories i have to add?
[02:17] <hdxx> and i get errors
[02:17] <WaZ> Dna^: I believe Universe
[02:17] <gh0st> hello, can i access a remote desktop from a lan (and only from there)!?
[02:17] <WaZ> hdxx: in your login window, change you session to use XGL
[02:18] <WaZ> hdxx: not the standard gnome
[02:18] <Dna^> WaZ all? :)
[02:18] <ikonia_> gh0st yes
[02:18] <WaZ> Dna^: yeah, just add them all ;-)
[02:18] <gh0st> ikonia: how? i would prefer doing in VNC, but it SHOULDB only be on the lan, so no internet etc... is this possbile?
[02:18] <hdxx> WaZ: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6705/
[02:18] <WaZ> Dna^: alternatively, just install easyubuntu http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/
[02:18] <ikonia_> don't install easy ubuntu
[02:19] <WaZ> hdxx: did you reboot?
[02:19] <hdxx> just x server
[02:19] <slippyr4> ikonia_ : it really doesn't , certainly not with the out-the-box device mapper stuff, kernel & lvm tools
[02:19] <WaZ> hdxx: did you just install drivers?
[02:19] <ritchiee> what is the best method to encrypt a linux ext3 filesystem? also what encryption would be best?
[02:19] <gh0st> i mean the VNC server should only be accessible via local (router) lan although it has an internet connect, how can i do this?
[02:19] <WaZ> hdxx: your old drivers might not be unloaded properly
[02:19] <gh0st> WaZ: truecrypt !
[02:19] <whonicca> Dna^, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[02:19] <ikonia_> slippyr4 works fine for me
[02:20] <gh0st> ritchiee: truecrypt !
[02:20] <hdxx> WaZ: direct rendering is on yes
[02:20] <ikonia_> gh0st usea private IP address
[02:20] <WaZ> hdxx: you sure you selected xgl as your session right?
[02:20] <burepe> can you run 2 firefoxes on the same comp?
[02:20] <ikonia_> use a
[02:20] <whonicca> Dna^, Ensure the relevant repositories are enabled. Click System  Administration  Synaptic Package Manager  Settings  Repositories and then click Add. Check the Community maintained (Universe) and Non-free (Multiverse) boxes. When you close the window, click Reload.
[02:20] <whonicca> quote unquote
[02:20] <ikonia_> burepe as in two different versions ?
[02:20] <gh0st> ikona_: could you be a bit more precise? what is that?
[02:20] <Dna^> WaZ but i have ubuntu hoary version, no problem?
[02:20] <hdxx> WaZ: i didn't because i don't want to load beryl when i log in..
[02:21] <ikonia_> gh0st private IP address is a none internet routable ip address
[02:21] <WaZ> Dna^: not sure ;-)
[02:21] <burepe> the same version?
[02:21] <burepe> like change the name and path or something
[02:21] <WaZ> hdxx: it doesn't
[02:21] <ikonia_> burepe yesh , just click the launch icon 2 times and you'll get two sessions
[02:21] <ikonia_> burepe why do you need to change the path  ?
[02:21] <gh0st> ikonia_: but the pc should be connect to internet, just not accessible trough vnc from there (for security reasons)
[02:21] <whonicca> Dna^, follow those instructions i just posted and try that command again
[02:21] <ikonia_> gh0stgh0st disable vnc then
[02:21] <whonicca> the one i originally posted
[02:21] <WaZ> hdxx: it will only load it if you add it in your session
[02:21] <timon821> WaZ: I type "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" but he says "/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure must be run as root"
[02:21] <ikonia_> gh0st or firewall it
[02:21] <Dna^> whonicca ok
[02:22] <burepe> I am using google browser sync but there are somethings I don't want to use with it
[02:22] <WaZ> timon821: try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
[02:22] <ikonia_> burepe basiclly - its not a good idea to install firefox 2 times to different location, same version or different
[02:22] <burepe> k
[02:22] <gh0st> ikonia_:here's the situation: i want an internet-connect download-only-pc accessible REMOTELY, but ONLY from the LAN
[02:23] <hdxx> WaZ: here is my xorg http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6706/
[02:23] <gh0st> can anyone help me with this?
[02:24] <WaZ> hdxx: it looks good, but you _have_ to chose xgl as your session for it to work, it will not load beryl by default, you still have to start beryl-manager manually if you do
[02:24] <burepe> gh0st: set up desktop sharing and use vnc
[02:24] <ikonia_> gh0st ok - so firewall oall out going traffic that your don't want
[02:24] <hdxx> WaZ: ok i will try
[02:24] <burepe> only problem is signing in
[02:24] <WaZ> hdxx: :D
[02:25] <burepe> gh0st: I don't think you can sign in with vnc
[02:25] <gh0st> burepe: how do you mean? sign in?
[02:25] <burepe> you got the log in page right
[02:25] <gh0st> ?
[02:25] <burepe> I don' t think you can connect with vnc before you get to the log in page
[02:25] <gh0st> i want to set up a vnc
[02:26] <burepe> only after
[02:26] <burepe> is the remote server on your local network?
[02:26] <WaZ> gh0st: you might have to allow remote hosts
[02:26] <ikonia_> gh0st just setup vnc to listen on your lan nic - then firewall anything you don't want to have access from the internet
[02:26] <burepe> yah
[02:26] <hdxx> WaZ: is it enough if i restart just X
[02:26] <WaZ> hdxx: just log out, change session to xgl and log in
[02:26] <hdxx> ok
[02:27] <gh0st> ikonia_: so basically, i should allow only local ip addresses and the downloading app, right?
[02:27] <ikonia_> yup
[02:27] <gh0st> ...with the firewall
[02:27] <nexeus> can someone help my Rclick or Lclick does not work on xubuntu desktop? plz
[02:27] <olaf-t-hunter> anyone know the bin-path for my php-cgi ?
[02:27] <itscoldoutside> hi
[02:27] <gh0st> ikonia_: another thing is : is it then possible to transfer (via FAST lan) from this pc to mine with vnc client?
[02:27] <itscoldoutside> anyone knows a mass mailer for linux ?
[02:28] <ikonia_> gh0st transfer what ?
[02:28] <ikonia_> itscoldoutside sendmail
[02:28] <bigli> libgl1-mesa-dev: Depends: mesa-common-dev (= 6.5.1~20060817-0ubuntu3) but 6.5.1-0.5 is to be installed---- what does it means?
[02:28] <burepe> gh0st: do you mean local lan?
[02:28] <gh0st> ikonia_: i meant *files* from the harddisk to mine
[02:28] <WaZ> gh0st: I would use ssh or ftp for transfering files
[02:28] <itscoldoutside> ikonia_ sendmail isnt a mail server ?
[02:29] <WaZ> hdxx: how did it go?
[02:29] <ikonia_> itscoldoutside yes
[02:29] <burepe> gh0st: yeah but why don't you just share folders for that?
[02:29] <gh0st> WaZ: an ftp server for this purpose!?
[02:29] <bigli> someone help me please
[02:29] <jrib> bigli: what version of ubunut are you using?
[02:29] <gh0st> burepe: how can i access this shared folder then?
[02:29] <hdxx> WaZ: (beryl-manager:8014): Gtk-WARNING **: it's not possible find a module_path pixmap :d i will remove beryl and install again
[02:30] <burepe> gh0st: so you want a download box on a local network? What is the other comp? linux?
[02:30] <itscoldoutside> ikonia_ I was thinking of a marketing mailer app
[02:30] <bigli> edgy
[02:30] <WaZ> hdxx: strange, try rebooting maybe...
[02:30] <gh0st> burepe: yes (damn small linux) and here ubuntu linux (main box)
[02:30] <jrib> bigli: k, try to preface your responses with my name so they get highlighted for me.  Can you please pastebin your sources.list?
[02:30] <jrib> !pastebin | bigli
[02:30] <ubotu> bigli: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[02:31] <ikonia_> itscoldoutside ezmlm
[02:31] <burepe> ghost which one is the download box?
[02:31] <gh0st> burepe: the dsl box, not the ubuntu
[02:31] <ikonia_> itscoldoutside just make sure you have an smtp relay that a.) allows mass mailing b.) isn't blacklisted
[02:31] <buli> nee,stel nie belang nie
[02:32] <burepe> gh0st: so you want to know how to set up dsl not ubuntu right?
[02:32] <itscoldoutside> ikonia_ my stmp server allows me to send mass mailing
[02:32] <royel> !cn | buli
[02:32] <ubotu> buli: For Ubuntu help in Chinese  #ubuntu-cn  #ubuntu-tw   #ubuntu-hk
[02:32] <gh0st> burepe: but it doesn't matter what os is there, because it's simply linux. i only need to acces desktop remotely (safely) and transfer files from the dl-box to mine
[02:32] <ikonia_> itscoldoutside is it your server on a DSL /cable line ?
[02:32] <burepe> gh0st: it is just that we know ubuntu not dsl
[02:32] <hdxx> WaZ: i'm installing again, we'll see:d
[02:32] <burepe> gh0st: do this
[02:32] <itscoldoutside> ikonia_ no
[02:32] <bigli> how?
[02:32] <gh0st> burepe: ok, so let's say it's ubuntu
[02:32] <WaZ> hdxx: good luck ;-)
[02:32] <gh0st> xubuntu
[02:32] <Hasrat_USA> can anyone experienced with partitioning using gparted help me out? i'm willing to send him/her 5 dollars through money order. no gimmick, no BS
[02:32] <ikonia_> just checking, want to make sure its not blacklisted
[02:32] <itscoldoutside> ikonia_ its from the ISP
[02:32] <ikonia_> super
[02:33] <jrib> !anyone | Hasrat_USA
[02:33] <ubotu> Hasrat_USA: 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?
[02:33] <burepe> gh0st: get dsl to boot with out a log in. Then set up desktop sharing in the settings
[02:33] <WaZ> hdxx: it worked directly when I followed the tutorial here
[02:33] <bigli> what is paste bin?
[02:33] <royel> !pastebin | bigli
[02:33] <ubotu> bigli: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[02:33] <ikonia_> Hasrat_USA whats the problem, we help for free in here
[02:33] <burepe> gh0st: that will allow you to connect over a local network with just the ip address
[02:33] <gh0st> burepe: i will install xuubntu or ubuntu on it, so how would it work then?
[02:33] <SecrethX> is there a problem with VLC playing dual layer DVDs?
[02:34] <hdxx> WaZ: beryl work for me if i have opensource drivesrs :)
[02:34] <hdxx> drivers*
[02:34] <ikonia_> gh0st you need to read the basiscs, there are good docs on wiki.ubuntu.com and ubuntuforums.com
[02:34] <gh0st> burepe: so basically i need to enable sharing of folders in the dl-box, and can simply access it trough nautilus then?
[02:34] <gh0st> (assuming i know the IP, of course)
[02:34] <WaZ> hdxx: might be because your modules didnt unload properly, hence why i suggest a restart
[02:35] <burepe> gh0st: I can't tell you how to do the skip sign in thing, but if the comp has no monitor and keyboard then you have to get it to the desk top before you access it with the other comp via vnc
[02:35] <WaZ> hdxx: looks good doesn't it?
[02:35] <burepe> yeah
[02:35] <hdxx> WaZ: yep:)
[02:35] <gh0st> burepe: i can access it no problem
[02:36] <burepe> gh0st: system> administration>shared folders
[02:36] <gh0st> it's just more confortable to do it from mine
[02:36] <burepe> gh0st: share the folders you want there
[02:36] <WaZ> hdxx: http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Tips/Default_Commands usefull info
[02:37] <gh0st> burepe: and how can i access/copy it when it's shared?
[02:37] <hdxx> i added to bookmark :D
[02:37] <burepe> gh0st: then go to system>prefrences>remote desktop
[02:37] <Hasrat_USA> okay it goes like this: i have windows XP and it's installed in only one drive called C:. except C i don't have any other drive. the c drive is 143.95 GB big, of which 12 GB has been used so far and 131.86 GB isn't used (free). I also have 5 GB of unallocated space. to make it easier, here is a screenshot http://img59.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotrx7.png
[02:37] <burepe> gh0st: go on the other comp and it should see the download box
[02:37] <Homer> Hiya ppl what the best program for mouse gestures
[02:37] <Homer> Hiya ppl what the best program for mouse gestures
[02:37] <Hasrat_USA> of which 12 GB has been used so far and 131.86 GB isn't used (free). I also have 5 GB of unallocated space. to make it easier, here is a screenshot http://img59.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotrx7.png
[02:37] <burepe> gh0st: just drag and drop
[02:38] <burepe> gh0st: are you talking about using a torrent program?
[02:38] <gh0st> burepe: yes
[02:38] <illsci> hey where is the proper place to put link speed settings.... which file?  I didn't see anything about it in the interfaces man page...
[02:38] <jrib> bigli: do you understand what you need to do?
[02:38] <gh0st> burepe: you got any better solutions?
[02:38] <Hasrat_USA> now i need someone to tell me exactly what to do, step by step
[02:38] <bigli> jrib: http://pastebin.ca/364886
[02:39] <Hasrat_USA> i want to install linux on a single 60 GB HDD and 1 GB for swap
[02:39] <timon> WaZ are you here?
[02:39] <Slart> Hasrat_USA: what's the goal? install ubuntu? make place on the drive for a linux partition or two?
[02:39] <burepe> gh0st: you can set azureus to monitor a folder so on your main comp set it firefox to always download .torrent files to that folder on the download box.
[02:39] <filou> hi
[02:39] <WaZ> Hasrat_USA: 5 GB aint much, but other wise, you select the free space, create a partition in ext3 or reiserfs
[02:39] <Hasrat_USA> also, in future, if need be, i would like borrow space from XP and add it to the single 60 GB linux ext partition
[02:39] <bigli> jrib: can we have private messaging? i will be confuse in this room
[02:39] <WaZ> timon: yup, how did it go?
[02:39] <jrib> bigli: please join #ubuntu-classroom
[02:40] <Slart> does ubuntu shrink ntfs partitions?
[02:40] <boubbin_> i juts downloaded 6.10, is it possible to upgrade from 6.10 to the newest somehow ?
[02:40] <Hasrat_USA> Slart: install ubuntu and make place on the drive for a linux ext3 partition of 60 GB and 1 GB swap
[02:40] <gh0st> burepe: ok, but from time to time i need to ACCESS the pc, although Azureus has nice webUI.
[02:40] <burepe> gh0st: then you surf on the main one, when you download the .torrent file it goes in to the monitored folder and azureus auto starts downloading it
[02:40] <bigli> ok jrib
[02:40] <WaZ> Hasrat_USA: is it a new XP install?
[02:40] <Hasrat_USA> yes
[02:40] <Hasrat_USA> delol did it
[02:40] <burepe> gh0st: use vnc for that
[02:40] <Hasrat_USA> dell
[02:40] <IdleOne> boubbin, version 7.04 is still beta you dont want to upgrade unless you know what you are doing
[02:40] <burepe> gh0st: then go to system>prefrences>remote desktop
[02:40] <boubbin_> IdleOne: but later ?
[02:41] <gh0st> burepe: that's a very good idea with the azureus monitoring, thanks for that
[02:41] <WaZ> Hasrat_USA: then select your xp partition and type resize: then chose size of your HD - 54 GB
[02:41] <burepe> gh0st: that will let you access it with vnc
[02:41] <Hasrat_USA> why 54?
[02:41] <Hasrat_USA> ok
[02:41] <WaZ> euh not type
[02:41] <Hasrat_USA> ty
[02:41] <IdleOne> boubbin, yes when 7.04 is ready you will be able to upgrade from the upgrade-manager
[02:41] <gh0st> burepe: can i "mount" this remote folder at each start?
[02:41] <burepe> gh0st: the plugins for azureus are where it is at. You can do anything.
[02:41] <timon> @ Waz: The code was right but at the end of the configure ( at least i set the monitor colordepht) , came the message "xserver-xorg postins warning: overwriting possibly-customaised configurationfiles; backup in ..."
[02:41] <boubbin_> ok, nice1
[02:41] <WaZ> not 54 , size of your HD - 54
[02:41] <IdleOne> !fiesty | boubbin
[02:41] <ubotu> boubbin: The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn"), it should be released in April 2007. At the moment it is alpha.

[02:41] <burepe> if it is shared it will just be there
[02:41] <TeePOG> afternoon all
[02:41] <WaZ> timon: yes that's normal
[02:41] <burepe> gh0st: just save a shortcut on the main compengi_
[02:41] <burepe> comp
[02:42] <timon> @ WaZ : and now?
[02:42] <WaZ> timon: did it fail to load X?
[02:42] <burepe> gh0st: install ubuntu on the download box. you will have a much easier time
[02:42] <gh0st> burepe: for the dl-box, which vnc SERVER do i need?
[02:43] <skar> hi all, i've got a asus p5b motherboad with jmicron ide, i can run fedora core 6 correctly, but ubuntu install cd hangs? any fix for this?
[02:43] <burepe> gh0st: you don't need any just enable remote desktop shareing where I told you
[02:43] <gh0st> i need one to access it via "remot desktop", isn't it?
[02:43] <jrib> skar: feisty herd-3 installed fine for me
[02:43] <yaman> what is the similar program to winrar in ubuntu ?
[02:43] <jrib> skar: (live cd only)
[02:43] <burepe> then on the main comp in any vlc viewer put in the internal ip address of the dl box
[02:43] <jrib> !rar | yaman
[02:43] <ubotu> yaman: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[02:43] <Hasrat_USA> 7zip
[02:44] <Hasrat_USA> WaZ: here is what i got after following your instruction http://img61.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot1gx5.png
[02:44] <gh0st> burepe: now, i'm confused, there's a "remote folder" and "remote desktop ACCESS", but no "create remote desktop"?
[02:44] <skar> jrib: u mean this http://ubuntu-cdimage.datahop.it/releases/feisty/herd-3/feisty-desktop-i386.iso ?
[02:44] <burepe> gh0st:  you need a vnc viewer on the main comp
[02:44] <burepe> that is it
[02:44] <skar> jrib: did the rtl8168B gige nic work too?
[02:44] <WaZ> Hasrat_USA: good, now select the empty space and create new partition
[02:45] <WaZ> Hasrat_USA: 1 GB, linux_swap as FS type
[02:45] <burepe> gh0st: go to system>prefrences>remote desktop
[02:45] <eck090> is it possible to mount my iwndows drive so i can access some of the files?
[02:45] <gh0st> burepe: ok, but the dl-box MUST act as a server
[02:45] <burepe> gh0st: do you have that path?
[02:45] <eck090> windows*
[02:45] <jrib> skar: both nics are detected and have an associated driver, but I've only tested the bottom one
[02:45] <gh0st> burepe: yep
[02:45] <burepe> gh0st: that is all already there under the remote desktop settings
[02:45] <skar> jrib: both?!?! i've got only 1 nic, i've only the basic p5b, not the deluxe one?
[02:45] <burepe> just click the boxes
[02:46] <burepe> and add a password
[02:46] <burepe> if you want
[02:46] <jrib> skar: oh, I have deluxe, I don't know then
[02:46] <Hasrat_USA> WaZ: http://img392.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot2go9.png
[02:46] <gh0st> burepe: ok, saw it. now if i don't have ubuntu, there's the problem :-) ...
[02:46] <hdxx> WaZ: i give up with beryl :D
[02:46] <skar> jrib: hehe ok, at least the ide/sata on the jmicron works in addition to the intel sata ports?
[02:46] <burepe> gh0st: that is why all of this will be easir with ubuntu
[02:46] <burepe> gh0st: can you put ubuntu on the dl box/
[02:46] <burepe> ?
[02:46] <gh0st> burepe do you know how the programs are called
[02:46] <SecrethX> is there a problem with duallayer dvds in ubuntu? it doesnt detect mine :S
[02:47] <WaZ> Hasrat_USA:  New size: 1024, Filesystem: linux_swap
[02:47] <Hasrat_USA> okay
[02:47] <TeePOG> anyone here available for troubleshooting help with Ubuntu installation? The installer keeps crashing
[02:47] <burepe> gh0st: what programs?
[02:47] <WaZ> hdxx: didn't work with fglrx?
[02:47] <jrib> skar: yep, give the live cd a try to test things out
[02:47] <hdxx> nop
[02:47] <burepe> gh0st: the viewer on the main box?
[02:47] <gh0st> burepe: i could, but it's an extremely low spec box, and ubuntu is not what i would call 'lightweight'
[02:47] <castor> hello there
[02:47] <gh0st> burepe: the server on the dl-box
[02:47] <burepe> gh0st: what are the specs
[02:47] <eck090> teepog: that usto happen to me when i last installed it, i just kept trying and it worked
[02:47] <skar> jrib: ok thanks will try it NOW can't wait to get ubuntu on this boxen
[02:47] <burepe> gh0st: I use ubuntu on a 50 dollar comp
[02:47] <WaZ> hdxx: might be a problem with the radeon 9200 and fglrx drivers, but don't take my word for it
[02:47] <Hasrat_USA> WaZ: and what should i chose in the 'create as' drop down menu? is linux_swap gonna be primary or extended?
[02:48] <burepe> gh0st: works fine
[02:48] <WaZ> Hasrat_USA: primary
[02:48] <gh0st> burepe:  i mean the program "system>prefrences>remote desktop"
[02:48] <Hasrat_USA> ok
[02:48] <burepe> gh0st: it is not a program it is a setting
[02:48] <SecrethX> hdxx,  I have Radeon 9200SE card, and beryl is working sweet
[02:48] <TeePOG> eck090, believe me when I say I've tried everything... even the CD defect checker option crashes back to Busybox
[02:48] <Hasrat_USA> WaZ: then?
[02:48] <burepe> gh0st: enable desktop shareing
[02:48] <timon> @ WaZ: i dont really now...i set the monitocolorpepht and when i say "OK" the configwindow becomes smaller and than the massage comes "xserver-xorg postintsd warning: overwriting possibly-customised configurationfile; back up in ...."and under there i cna type texts...
[02:48] <hdxx> SecrethX: with fglrx drivers ?
[02:48] <eck090> teepog: did you try the safe mode?
[02:48] <WaZ> Hasrat_USA: then click on the remainder, and create a new partition
[02:49] <gh0st> burepe: i have also other reasons for not using ubuntu- like learning more from linux and experiment (as i will have the free time)
[02:49] <SecrethX> hdxx, no.. aiglx worked fine here
[02:49] <WaZ> Hasrat_USA: leave new size intact and choose reiserfs as filesystem
[02:49] <TeePOG> eck090, yes i did
[02:49] <gh0st> burepe: i mean the APP ""system>prefrences>remote desktop" so i could also INSTALL it on the non-ubuntu-dl-box
[02:49] <TeePOG> eck090, i even tried text-mode install and command-line only installation
[02:49] <bauer77> is there a way to undo a delete?
[02:49] <WaZ> hdxx: just use aiglx ;-)
[02:49] <jrib> bauer77: how did you delete?
[02:49] <SecrethX> is there a problem with duallayer dvds in ubuntu? it doesnt detect mine :S
[02:49] <burepe> gh0st: you are in for a hell of a ride if you are going to do this with any other distro. I promise. If so you should be asking these questions on the dsl channel
[02:49] <Hasrat_USA> http://img378.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot3lf9.png waz
[02:50] <timon> @ WaZ: i dont really now...it doesnt says that  is installed oder failed...i set the monitocolorpepht and when i say "OK" the configwindow becomes smaller and than the massage comes "xserver-xorg postintsd warning: overwriting possibly-customised configurationfile; back up in ...."and under there i cna type texts...
[02:50] <bauer77> rm (filename)
[02:50] <royel> burepe: thats exactly what I was thinking just now
[02:50] <jrib> bauer77: is the file still being accessed by any programs/
[02:50] <WaZ> Hasrat_USA: change filesystem to resiserfs
[02:50] <gh0st> burepe: well anyway, thanks for the help
[02:50] <bauer77> no
[02:50] <eck090> then im all out of ideas because the same problem happend to me
[02:50] <jrib> bauer77: then no, not really
[02:50] <WaZ> Hasrat_USA: then add
[02:50] <bauer77> lol, thanks
[02:50] <hdxx> WaZ: is that version OpenGL version string: 1.3.1091 (X4.3.0-8.28.8)
[02:50] <burepe> gh0st: that is what I am telling you. We use ubuntu. I can not say how to go about doing this on another distro. I will guarentee it will take you 10 times longer though
[02:50] <hdxx> its ok ?
[02:51] <Hasrat_USA> done waz
[02:51] <WaZ> Hasrat_USA: now continue
[02:51] <Hasrat_USA> should it also be a primary partition?
[02:51] <gh0st> burepe: as said, i'm lucky to have a bit of time for some weeks :-) and i love linux problems haha
[02:51] <castor> May someone help me? i want to know how to update the Nvidia graphic driver ( i've downloaded the ***.run) from nvidia website. And if it would be possible to talk in private it would be marvelous because i'm not used to the crazy IRC information flow :p
[02:51] <WaZ> Hasrat_USA: and make a screenshot after
[02:52] <timon> @ WaZ: i dont really now...it doesnt says that  is installed oder failed...i set the monitocolorpepht and when i say "OK" the configwindow becomes smaller and than the massage comes "xserver-xorg postintsd warning: overwriting possibly-customised configurationfile; back up in ...."and under there i cna type texts...
[02:52] <WaZ> Hasrat_USA: it should detect your swap and / automatically
[02:52] <kenthomson> castor, check out the script "envy" created by albert that grabs the latest nvidia driver from their site and installs it for you
[02:52] <WaZ> Hasrat_USA: and mount your windows partition on /media/windows
[02:52] <WaZ> timon: strange
[02:52] <burepe> gh0st: I don't think you will get azureus running on a dsl box easily. so there goes the monitored folder. plus setting up sharing or vnc on other distros can be crazy. ubuntu just works
[02:53] <burepe> gh0st: good luck
[02:53] <WaZ> timon: what happens when you reboot?
[02:53] <burepe> gh0st: what are the specs of the comp you are using. I have never seen one that can' handle ubuntu.
[02:53] <timon> WaZ: what is the code for reebot?
[02:54] <WaZ> timon: sudo reboot
[02:54] <castor> kenthomson: allright i'll try that out right away
[02:54] <olaf-t-hunter> linux is pretty bloody cool
[02:54] <olaf-t-hunter> it only took me 3 days to get it setup how i wanted :)
[02:54] <WaZ> olaf-t-hunter: the setup time will shrinken after a while ;-)
[02:55] <gh0st> burepe: hey, DSL is debian based
[02:55] <olaf-t-hunter> yeah, took me 3 hours to setup php the first time on windows, 10 mins the second
[02:55] <burepe> gh0st: still. debian is hard to use even
[02:55] <WaZ> olaf-t-hunter: well it will be the same on linux
[02:55] <burepe> goodluck
[02:55] <gh0st> burepe: thanks
[02:55] <olaf-t-hunter> yeah im hoping :) was a lot more fun on linux
[02:55] <kenthomson> Help; kernel question; right now i am downloading and installing linux-i386 kernel for installation on my U.6.10 instead of the generic x_86 as i am told it offers better speed for my PC (AMD 2600XP+). Now the point is i have set it to download in synaptic, will after installing it magically work after rebooting my computer? Or will it cause problems with nvidia drivers which depend on some linux-kernel-headers (or whatever that thing is called)? Do i
[02:55] <kenthomson>  need to do anything else? Or will everything work after reboot? I have seen inhumanely complex sites talking about linux kernel, but as of now i don't know how to do it, and i am downloading it through synaptic. PLease help.
[02:56] <WaZ> olaf-t-hunter: you should install beryl ;-)
[02:56] <erUSUL> !generic | kenthomson
[02:56] <ubotu> kenthomson: Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed)
[02:56] <IntuitiveNipple> gh0st: What is it you're trying to do? I've seen loads of evangelism but hardly any technical details? :p
[02:57] <erUSUL> kenthomson: read this email and you will see that the one you are dling is not going to give you any more speed
[02:57] <timon> @ WaZ: it doesnt reboot...it sais i should keep the Cd or close ist and press enter...but it doesnt work when i press ist
[02:57] <burepe> gh0st: thanks for that. You should tell him how to set up a download box in dsl
[02:57] <burepe> sorry gh0st
[02:57] <WaZ> timon: your booting a live cd?
[02:57] <gh0st> IntuitiveNipple: evangelism!? hehe what i want to do:  i want to install DSL on a download-only-box which would run 24/7. 2 Questions: how can i access the desktop and CONTROL the programs (VNC, but what exactly, which client, etc...) 2.) I want to make a "shared" folder on the DL-Box, accessible both from Linux (Ubuntu) and Windows, and in a LAN. The best would a good secured way :-)
[02:57] <burepe> IntuitiveNipple: : thanks for that. You should tell him how to set up a download box in dsl
[02:57] <ikonia_> gh0st join DSL support - this is but ubuntu
[02:58] <ikonia_> this is for ubuntu
[02:58] <timon> @WaZ: the desktop cd for amd64cpus...
[02:58] <bauer77> where do I need to mount a hard drive for it to show up under computer?
[02:58] <ikonia_> yes
[02:58] <ikonia_> bauer77 yes
[02:58] <ikonia_> bauer77 if you want to access it
[02:58] <bauer77> ikonia where do I mount it to is what I am asking
[02:59] <IntuitiveNipple> gh0st: Do you *need* a graphical desktop - you could just use SSH. If you do want a graphical desktop then the VNC server package installed on DSL, and VNC client on your 'local' PC
[02:59] <WaZ> timon: oh ok, I thought you had ubuntu installed, what graphics card do you have?
[02:59] <jrib> bauer77: /media/FOOBAR
[02:59] <ikonia_> bauer77 mount it where you want -its your choice
[02:59] <bauer77> I am FOOBAR but thanks jrib
[02:59] <timon> WaZ: ati x800gto...@ the XServer-configuration he found it automaticly...
[02:59] <gh0st> IntuitiveNipple: if i didn't need a desktop access, could i do everything (like also starting programs) with SSH?
[03:00] <IntuitiveNipple> gh0st: To share stuff - install Samba on the DSL box, create the share (use the samba docs for examples) so its available to your network
[03:00] <ikonia_> gh0st yes, but that fact that your asking all this suggests you won't have the skills to admin / setup the box
[03:00] <burepe> exactly
[03:00] <IntuitiveNipple> gh0st: Yes, and a  LOT quicker, too. All the programs on your DSL box will be 'server' type applications I'd guess?
[03:00] <ikonia_> gh0st for dsl suport - join the dsl support mail lists/irc channel
[03:00] <gh0st> ikonia_:that doesn't mean i never could
[03:00] <burepe> which is why I love UBUNTU
[03:00] <ikonia_> gh0st I didn't say you wouldn't be able to ever - I'm just warning you of this in advance
[03:01] <WaZ> timon: what version of ubuntu are you trying timon?
[03:01] <burepe> word
[03:01] <timon> WaZ: 6.10 64bit ver
[03:01] <IntuitiveNipple> From Ubtuntu you can use XTerm to start an ssh session to the DSL server, or, if DSL is running a desktop, use VNC viewer from Ubuntu
[03:02] <gh0st> IntuitiveNipple: thanks for your REAL help. but i need the the graphical interface, but a MINIMAL one, so i probably need VNC. which VNC server app would you recommend?
[03:02] <Vilhelms> For some reason, when I run Gnome in Xgl none of my keyboard shortcuts (Such as Alt+F2) do not work. They work if I run in the default gnome session. Here is my Xgl session script: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6709/plain/. Does anyone have any idea why this would happen?
[03:02] <WaZ> timon, you need to use the radeon driver instead of ati
[03:02] <IntuitiveNipple> gh0st: I'd recommend *not* installing a desktop on the DSL box if you only want to remote-control it - you *could* install Webmin (a web-server-based administrator) on it to make controlling it easier
[03:02] <ikonia_> gh0st vnc is not a desktop system - so it doesn't effect how fat or small your desktop is
[03:02] <DBFT> if i put a FAT formatted SD card in my linux pc
[03:02] <DBFT> what would the path look like?
[03:03] <timon> WaZ: how can i install the driver and where i can found it?
[03:03] <gh0st> IntuitiveNipple: unfortunately i need one (some programs like azureus need one)
[03:03] <tanim> hi, to what package is gnome-theme-manager attached?
[03:03] <IntuitiveNipple> gh0st: VNC is VNC... there are several 'flavours' but they are all essentially the same. Find the one for DSL and install the .deb, you will be able to connect to that from Ubuntu's VNC viewer
[03:03] <WaZ> timon: you have to change your /etc/X11/worg.conf file
[03:03] <WaZ> xorg.conf
[03:03] <IntuitiveNipple> gh0st: You can run azurus 'headless'
[03:03] <Arcad3> how can i login as diferent user from console,i'm tired using ssh
[03:03] <WaZ> and replace "ati" with "radeon" in device
[03:03] <royel> gh0st: use torrentflux instead of azureas, it's a webdriven torrent service.
[03:04] <gh0st> IntuitiveNipple: really? would you mind telling me how. because i can also control Azureus via Web UI (plugin)
[03:04] <IntuitiveNipple> gh0st: See this wiki: http://www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/ConsoleUI
[03:04] <ikonia_> gh0st there are guides in the ubuntu wiki and forums to help you - search them a bit
[03:04] <timon> WaZ: how can i go in the Device? what is the code for that?
[03:04] <WaZ> timon: alternatively, you could use the 32bit version of 6.10
[03:04] <WaZ> do you know how to use vi timon?
[03:04] <doojin> I'm now on ubuntu
[03:04] <Arcad3> how can i login as another user in console?
[03:04] <royel> royel: vnc is not the answer your looking for, it does NOT create a desktop environment, it simply allows you to connect to one that already EXISTS
[03:05] <doojin> I feel peace
[03:05] <royel> err
[03:05] <ikonia_> Arcad3 su (switch user)
[03:05] <timon> I only know the BIOS for windiws but jnot for Ubuntu
[03:05] <ikonia_> su $user
[03:05] <royel> ghost: vnc is not the answer your looking for, it does NOT create a desktop environment, it simply allows you to connect to one that already EXISTS
[03:05] <Arcad3> :D thanks
[03:05] <ikonia_> timon the bios is nothing to do with windows or ubuntu
[03:05] <Vilhelms> For some reason, when I run Gnome in Xgl none of my keyboard shortcuts (Such as Alt+F2) do not work. They work if I run in the default gnome session. Here is my Xgl session script: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6709/plain/. Does anyone have any idea why this would happen?
[03:05] <doojin> royel : It's less
[03:05] <kenthomson> People please don't mind my not-answering i have got a kernel question above, please read it and post your answer, i am currently experiencing a lag of over 35 seconds.
[03:05] <doojin> royel : vnc just transmits images
[03:05] <royel> doojin: sorry?
[03:05] <TomPurnell> Vilhelms: surely none of your shortcuts not working is good?
[03:05] <ikonia_> kenthomson whats the question
[03:06] <WaZ> timon: it has nothing to do with your BIOS, I suggest you try the 32 bit version of ubuntu
[03:06] <timon> How can i go to the Device? I dont know that ^^
[03:06] <Vilhelms> TomPurnell, Good? Not so much good, I'd like them to work again :(
[03:06] <timon> Ok i used the 32biut ver
[03:06] <doojin> I just doubled the size of linux partition
[03:06] <WaZ> timon: you have to go into /etc/X11/xorg.conf (which is a configuration file)
[03:06] <TomPurnell> Vilhelms: oh. the double negative was unintentional then
[03:07] <Vilhelms> TomPurnell, Oh lol
[03:07] <Orfeous> hmm..
[03:07] <WaZ> timon: in your device section, you should changre the line: 	Driver      "ati"  to 	Driver      "radeon"
[03:07] <Orfeous> my console and KDE fonts looks really nasty on my LCD monitor.
[03:07] <Orfeous> what to install?
[03:07] <gh0st> IntuitiveNipple: you rock. you told me everything i needed to know. so i will install DSL on the dl-box, install all needed programs (without GUI) and configure everything (+shared folder with SMB), and reboot in text-only mode, start the programs, and control the pc via my ubuntu box and SSH (although this might get complicated...). but basically, it's that,?
[03:08] <IntuitiveNipple> gh0st: There's always pitfalls along the way, but remember, Google is your friend :p
[03:08] <royel> kenthomson: if I'm not mistaking, you will have an additional boot option in Grub, you can press ESC at boot time to see the Grub Menu.
[03:08] <ikonia_> kenthomson I'm waiting to see your question
[03:09] <burepe> ikonia_ do you know ubuntu's minium requrements?
[03:09] <royel> ikonia_: he asked it several pages above
[03:09] <IntuitiveNipple> gh0st: Controlling programs is *usually* a case of doing a variation of "sudo /etc/init.d/<program> start | stop | restart
[03:09] <unop> http://google.com/linux would be a better friend
[03:09] <ikonia_> royel I can't see it
[03:09] <krantix> hi! is there an easy way to install MYSQL GUI tools on ubuntu? is there a repository somewhere?
[03:09] <ikonia_> burepe I think the realistic requirments are P3 700 256 ram
[03:09] <WaZ> krantix: try phpmyadmin
[03:09] <ikonia_> krantix apt-get install mysql-admin
[03:09] <TeePOG> erm, doesn't VNC launch a separate X session?
[03:09] <cntb> anyone familiar with scribus DTP ?
[03:10] <TeePOG> I know it just connects to the existing one in Windows
[03:10] <TeePOG> but in *nix it's different
[03:10] <burepe> ikonia ghost says that his box can't handle ubuntu but he never said the specs. I feel like he is gonna get really lost on that trip
[03:10] <WaZ> TeePOG: yeah i think it does
[03:10] <ikonia_> burepe he didn't really understand what he was saying, so I suspect your right
[03:10] <krantix> ikonia, WaZ, thanks but i need the mysql migration tool to convert all my access databases to mysql... it's not included in the mysql admin ... :-(
[03:11] <ikonia_> krantix if its not in the repo - its not there
[03:11] <burepe> ikonia_ whe all have to go there some time though I guess
[03:11] <IntuitiveNipple> Good grief, guys, let up on the guy! He's willing to explore and LEARN... encourage him!
[03:11] <gh0st> IntuitiveNipple: although if i controlled everything with VNC, it could work 'out-of-the-box'. but as i have fortunately some free time, why not learn these (useful?) things?. do you think it would need significantly more resources (POWER) to run a gui + VNC than only
[03:11] <WaZ> krantix: there are migration tools under windows
[03:11] <burepe> step by step
[03:11] <Hasrat_USA> Waz hey waz i got a question. in one of those screenshots, did you see the word boot next to sda2? what would happen if i delete the first partition, which is called sda1?
[03:11] <gh0st> *text-mode
[03:11] <krantix> WaZ, please no more windows for me :-)))) ikonia, i will try to compile from source...
[03:11] <burepe> gh0st: what are your specs
[03:11] <WaZ> Hasrat_USA: just a sec
[03:12] <royel> gh0st: yes Ghost, it will require more "resources"
[03:12] <ikonia_> krantix there is a deb package on the mysql dowload pages
[03:12] <Hasrat_USA> http://img372.imageshack.us/img372/1807/screenshot4hp4.th.png
[03:12] <burepe> gh0st: even if you use ubunutu you can still do exactly what he is talking about. we were just trying to give you advice from experience
[03:12] <krantix> ikonia_ i've just found redhat, suse and fedora...
[03:12] <josh_> im having a problem with an external hard drive, when I start up ubuntu it says "There are differences between boot sector and backup".
[03:12] <IntuitiveNipple> gh0st: GUI's generally eat up a *lot* more RAM so if you manage the box infrequently its a waste... but remember what I said, investigate "Webmin" for remote -web-based admin too... that is a good solution, I use it to manage PCs remotely, its not pretty but it works and it covers all the major programs and options
[03:12] <WaZ> Hasrat_USA: don't touch sda2, its your windows partition
[03:13] <brainly-green> why doesn't tar -t <archivename> do what I want?
[03:13] <brainly-green> it expects more input
[03:13] <Hasrat_USA> oh sorry i'm talking about sda1 actually
[03:13] <Hasrat_USA> yeah the word boot appears in sda2, not sda1
[03:13] <WaZ> Hasrat_USA: im not sure what sda1 is
[03:13] <brainly-green> I want to list the contents of an archive
[03:13] <Hasrat_USA> sda1 is only like 54 MB. dell put some s*** on it
[03:13] <dyrne> brainly-green: its a tar.gz mayybe
[03:13] <Hasrat_USA> okay
[03:13] <Hasrat_USA> thanks
[03:13] <brainly-green> only it's not
[03:13] <brainly-green> it's an ordinary tar
[03:13] <WaZ> Hasrat_USA: don't touch it, you never know
[03:13] <josh_> how can I fix that?
[03:14] <Bubble> brainly-green: Did you read the manual ?
[03:14] <brainly-green> yes I read the relevant sections
[03:15] <doojin> How do I change usplash theme?
[03:15] <doojin> It is too difficult
[03:15] <ikonia_> doojin there is documents on the wiki on this
[03:15] <darkstar> Is there an Opera for ubuntu pacjage available anywhere?
[03:16] <ikonia_> doojin if its too dificult - you can't do it
[03:16] <gh0st> IntuitiveNipple:  just googling the webmin thing. very interesting, thanks for the hint. but i need to know sth. will it consume more power when running a gui + vnc?
[03:16] <IntuitiveNipple> dark_light: Yes, its in the commercail side I believe
[03:16] <WaZ> doojin: its basically just changing somehting in configuration editor
[03:16] <ikonia_> gh0st its a web service
[03:16] <burepe> darkstar: go to this link and add the opera repo
[03:16] <IntuitiveNipple> gh0st: Power as in watts?
[03:16] <WaZ> doojin: quite easy
[03:16] <burepe> !sources
[03:16] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[03:16] <dyrne> brainly-green: dont ask me why but tar tf test.tar works
[03:16] <royel> brainly-green: try tar -tvf <name>
[03:17] <burepe> darkstar: sorry. this one
[03:17] <brainly-green> no I got it working, what I was nto doing was using an f flag
[03:17] <gh0st> IntuitiveNipple:  yes, power consumption, electricity bill :-)
[03:17] <burepe> !easysources
[03:17] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[03:17] <darkstar> burepe, which link?
[03:17] <burepe> source o matic
[03:17] <ikonia_> gh0st that depends on how much proccessing it does
[03:17] <ikonia_> gh0st with respect it sounds like your way out of your league
[03:17] <IntuitiveNipple> gh0st: lol - it'd be hard to notice that! the thing that draws the current is the CPUs running at close to 100%, and to some extent, constant disk writes
[03:18] <ikonia_> gh0st try playing with ubuntu just to get a handle on it before trying this sort of stuff
[03:18] <josh_> can anyone help me?
[03:18] <ikonia_> josh_ you have to ask a question first
[03:18] <gh0st> ikonia_: please, if you have nothing contructive to say... you know what i mean
[03:18] <royel> !anyone | josh_
[03:18] <ubotu> josh_: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[03:18] <darkstar> burepe, sorry should I follow the link or add it to my apt/sources...
[03:18] <ikonia_> gh0st I am being constructive
[03:18] <doojin> just tell me
[03:18] <gh0st>  - not
[03:18] <doojin> WaZ : tell me
[03:19] <ikonia_> gh0st I'm advising you to just install ubuntu and get a feel for it first, then you may find this sort of conversation easier
[03:19] <doojin> WaZ : there is no configuration editor
[03:19] <ikonia_> thats being constructive
[03:19] <WaZ> doojin: you have to download a new splash.png , then change something in the configurator editor (asuming you run gnome)
[03:19] <josh_> does anyone know how to fix a drive that has differences between boot sector and backup?
[03:19] <ikonia_> josh_ explain
[03:19] <ikonia_> josh_ your question makes no sense
[03:19] <doojin> WaZ : If I have a complete theme?
[03:19] <gh0st> ikonia_: IntuitiveNipple was, not you. he gave me brief idea of the possiblites., wich i can THEN explore more. you?
[03:20] <IntuitiveNipple> josh_: Use "dd" to write changed sectors, maybe?
[03:20] <Roey> IntuitiveNipple:  hahahah nice nick
[03:20] <WaZ> doojin: you mean the login window?
[03:20] <IntuitiveNipple> Roey:  :p
[03:20] <doojin> WaZ : no
[03:20] <WaZ> doojin: you run gnome or kde?
[03:20] <doojin> WaZ : Usplash is bootsplash
[03:20] <ikonia_> gh0st I gave you information, that advised you to get a grasp on ubuntu before trying it as you sound like you'll struggle
[03:20] <doojin> It hides the boot process and shows a graphical start
[03:20] <burepe> gh0st: let it be. He always helps everyone here and he knows what he is talking about. I helped you too. and we are saying the same thing
[03:20] <WaZ> doojin: oh my bad
[03:20] <darkstar> burepe, should I get the rebuilt list and replace the original sources.list or just add the lines to the existing ones?
[03:20] <WaZ> read splash, dunno about bootsplash
[03:21] <doojin> ikonia_ : the documents on usplash doesn't work
[03:21] <josh_> I have an external hd /dev/sdc1 and on boot up it says "There are differences between boot sector and its backup. Not Fixing"
[03:21] <ikonia_> doojin they do
[03:21] <jussi01> Hei all: Inhave a panel that auto hides, how do I make it reappear quicker? I was told in gconf-editor but I have no idea where? help?
[03:21] <ikonia_> josh_ are you sure thats the exact message
[03:21] <doojin> ikonia_ : did you do it yourself?
[03:21] <gh0st> ikonia_, burepe: don't you agree that doing challenges will even help me more advancing?
[03:21] <burepe> darkstar: add the one if you want or do the whole thing. The whole thing can't hurt
[03:21] <ikonia_> gh0st no as your missing the real basics
[03:21] <ikonia_> doojin yup
[03:21] <IntuitiveNipple> josh_: what file-system type is on sdc1 ?
[03:21] <josh_> then it give the bytes I think
[03:21] <darkstar> burepe, thanks. I'll be right back ;)
[03:21] <josh_> fat or fat 32 I think
[03:21] <doojin> ikonia_ : but That's about just changing a background image
[03:21] <ikonia_> josh_ can you get the exact error message as that doesn't sound right
[03:22] <burepe> gh0st: linux has made me cry in the past. I have been there so I am trying to give you steps to the top of the mountian instead of just a rope
[03:22] <doojin> ikonia_ : it is not about changing a complete theme
[03:22] <IntuitiveNipple> gh0st: I recommend diving in at the deep end and learn how to swim that way :)
[03:22] <josh_> dmesg to get it?
[03:22] <jussi01> anyone?
[03:22] <dyrne> josh_: you can sudo update-rc.d -f checkfs.sh remove   or   sudo fsck -V -r /dev/hda2 where hda2 changes to whatever partition
[03:22] <ikonia_> doojin to change the theme you need to re-create the initrd
[03:22] <doojin> ikonia_ : that is not in the manual
[03:22] <burepe> there are 2 ways to skin a cat. I guess that is the moral of this story
[03:22] <gh0st> ntuitiveNipple: that's what i'll do now :-=
[03:22] <ikonia_> doojin search the wiki- thats where I found the info
[03:23] <IntuitiveNipple> gh0st: I've been doing that for 20+ years - its where all the fun's at :)
[03:23] <dyrne> josh_: see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=189472
[03:23] <ikonia_> IntuitiveNipple that is true it is where the funs at, but some people while just drown
[03:23] <gh0st> IntuitiveNipple: agree; what would life be without challenges?

[03:25] <jeroenvrp> question 1: the lost+found directories: how to make those directories hidden?!
[03:25] <jrib> !version | Keneo
[03:25] <ubotu> Keneo: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type  lsb_release -a  in a !shell
[03:25] <IntuitiveNipple> Keneo: hmm, maybe not :p
[03:25] <WaZ> doojin: why do you want to change your bootsplash?
[03:25] <ikonia_> doojin then you can't change the theme
[03:26] <jussi01> so no-one can help?
[03:26] <doojin> WaZ : The current usplash theme sucks
[03:26] <doojin> Ubuntu maintainer must have made a mistake
[03:26] <Keneo> how do I see if this is the 64bit version or not jrib ?
[03:26] <ikonia_> doojin I'm afraid your stuck with it
[03:26] <WaZ> doojin: you can always go the verbose way ;-)
[03:26] <ikonia_> Keneo uname -a - and look at the arch (i386 or x86_64
[03:26] <IntuitiveNipple> How much time are you going to spend watching usplash!?
[03:26] <jeroenvrp> Let's put it another way: how to say to ext3 which lost+found directorues to use!?
[03:26] <Keneo> it's generic
[03:26] <Keneo> ow
[03:27] <ikonia_> jeroenvrp each file system will have a lost and found
[03:27] <Keneo> i686
[03:27] <Keneo> thx :)
[03:27] <doojin> Do you guys know how to install fbsplash?
[03:27] <WaZ> nope
[03:27] <ikonia_> doojin apt-get install fbflash
[03:27] <jeroenvrp> ikonia_: yes I know, but I like to change the directory to .lost+found
[03:27] <doojin> I'm afraid that fbsplash asks too much dependency
[03:27] <ikonia_> doojin but even then you'll need to change the initrd
[03:27] <Keneo> I just thought It might have been in: about ubuntu in the system menu :p
[03:28] <ikonia_> jeroenvrp can't be done unless you want to re-write the file system
[03:28] <jeroenvrp> ikonia_: are you sure?>
[03:28] <ikonia_> doojin you can't use fbsplash
[03:28] <doojin> ikonia_ : fbsplash package is not in ubuntu 6.10
[03:28] <ikonia_> jeroenvrp %99.99
[03:28] <Keneo> in most programs you can see the version number in the about menu, but not in ubuntu :p
[03:28] <jeroenvrp> mmm, thats a shame
[03:28] <Keneo> I mean, not in about ubuntu
[03:28] <Brismetal> does anyone know if Cadega (I know it's not got much to do with Ubuntu) has a command line interface also?  When I goto play a game I click play but nothing happens, would be good to get some feedback from the command line to see what's going on
[03:28] <ikonia_> doojin you can't use it, but it doesn't matter any way as you'd need to change initrd still
[03:28] <IdleOne> !eyecandy | doojin
[03:28] <ubotu> doojin: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy
[03:29] <doojin> ikonia_ : how do you know?
[03:29] <ikonia_> doojin because I've used fbflash
[03:29] <ikonia_> fbsplash
[03:29] <doojin> ikonia_ : used under what circumstance?
[03:29] <ikonia_> it stores the image in the initrd - thats how it can see if before it boots
[03:29] <IdleOne> !info fbsplash
[03:29] <ubotu> Package fbsplash does not exist in edgy, edgy-seveas
[03:29] <Brismetal> never mind, I found it
[03:30] <doojin> Grub has a terrific background support
[03:30] <nfspeed99> is the only way to run a program from the root user with the terminal thing?
[03:30] <ikonia_> doojin yes, so ?
[03:30] <doojin> I wish usplash have a terrific background support somday
[03:30] <WaZ> nfspeed99: sudo 'program'
[03:30] <doojin> *someday
[03:30] <ikonia_> doojin it does
[03:31] <nfspeed99> but that sudo is only with terminal?
[03:31] <doojin> ikonia_ : I mean the convenience
[03:31] <ikonia_> doojin it does
[03:31] <WaZ> nfspeed99: im not sure what you mean?
[03:31] <doojin> ikonia_ : usplash has a convenient background support?
[03:31] <ikonia_> yes
[03:31] <nfspeed99> i had to type sudo and the name of the file
[03:31] <nfspeed99> in terminal
[03:31] <doojin> ikonia_ : I can not believe it
[03:31] <WaZ> nfspeed99: yes
[03:31] <ikonia_> doojin then don't
[03:31] <LycanNyc-work> !kicker
[03:31] <ubotu> kicker: desktop panel for KDE. In component main, is optional. Version 4:3.5.5-0ubuntu3.2 (edgy), package size 1953 kB, installed size 5808 kB
[03:31] <nfspeed99> is there another way of soing it?
[03:31] <doojin> ikonia_ : what is the reason?
[03:31] <nfspeed99> doing
[03:32] <WaZ> nfspeed99: sudo su
[03:32] <WaZ> nfspeed99: then your logged in as root
[03:32] <ikonia_> doojin the reason for what ?
[03:32] <WaZ> in your terminal
[03:32] <doojin> ikonia_ : the reason why you think it is easy
[03:32] <ikonia_> doojin because it is
[03:32] <IntuitiveNipple> nfspeed99: You can run gnome apps as root using "gksudo <program>" from menu shortcuts, as well as the command line
[03:33] <doojin> ikonia_ : With grub, I can change the background just by changing the link.
[03:33] <KrAsHeR> hey... anyone know why when i try to see a video in divx with subtitles i get errors... without the subtitles the video runs smoothly
[03:33] <nfspeed99> ok thanks
[03:33] <doojin> ikonia_ : with usplash, I have to read the wiki
[03:33] <ikonia_> doojin so - thats a different application, for a different purpose
[03:33] <WaZ> oh thats what he meant :D
[03:33] <ikonia_> doojin bottom line is - you can't use it, so your stuck with what you have
[03:35] <IdleOne> doojin, you want to change the usplash?
[03:35] <doojin> IdleOne : sure
[03:35] <IdleOne> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto
[03:35] <doojin> IdleOne : I got a complete theme, but I don't know how to apply it
[03:35] <IdleOne> there ^^^
[03:36] <doojin> IdleOne : That's not for changing a complete theme
[03:36] <slyfox> How to I make Ubuntu remember my Laptop Screen brightness settings? Everytime I login it sets the brightness back to maximum ?
[03:38] <valehru> I'm trying to install bugzilla, but I keep getting an error when I try and do it from apt.  Anyone have a clue what I can do?
[03:38] <doojin> ikonia_ : why you can't install fbsplash on ubuntu?
[03:39] <nfspeed99> /j #ubuntu-co
[03:39] <nfspeed99> oops
[03:40] <royel> doojin: try using Gconf Editor, expand, Apps >gnome-session >options, you should see a section for splash image.
[03:40] <vcrobe> Can somebody send me the link to download the source files of Unbuntu?
[03:41] <valehru> vcrobe, source files of ubuntu?
[03:41] <doojin> royel : how did you find that?
[03:41] <vcrobe> valehru yes
[03:41] <predaeus> valehru: what is the error message?
[03:41] <dyrne> vcrobe: you can apt-get source packagename
[03:41] <royel> doojin: I dont remember exactly :)
[03:41] <doojin> royel : That's for gnome splash, not for usplash
[03:42] <valehru> predaeus, I'm going to install it manually not via apt.....I've removed it from apt now....thx anyhow
[03:42] <Eposhark> Hm, munin server is outputting info about the server, but a client I want to add doesn't output anything
[03:42] <predaeus> valehru: sure
[03:42] <dyrne> vcrobe: or i guess just grab it from the url in your src repos in sources.list
[03:42] <Eposhark> http://epohax.dyndns.info/munin/index.html > what could be wrong?
[03:42] <Eposhark> I don't understand what option I didn't fill in correctly, anyone experience with munin?
[03:42] <royel> doojin: hmm, I dont use usplash.. you might find it in there somewhere if you browse a bit
[03:42] <vcrobe> dyrne For example, in FreeBSD they have a CGI where you can select the files you want to download
[03:43] <vcrobe> dyrne I'm newbie here
[03:43] <slippyr4> woohoo! pvmove is actually working in dapper drake
[03:43] <Eposhark> Lannie is the server, storm the client
[03:43] <nfx> hi, i need to merge 2 partitions without having to reformat. how can i do this?
[03:44] <KrAsHeR> this is just weird... when i try to watch a divx movie with subtitles on Toten... i get a error... if a
[03:44] <dyrne> vcrobe: ive not really used synaptic but you could search for the source in there and just check what you want download id think.
[03:44] <IntuitiveNipple> nfx - use a mount point
[03:44] <dyrne> vcrobe: not sure about that one sec
[03:44] <KrAsHeR> if i open the subtitles file in a gedit window, the video reproduction works without problem
[03:44] <nfx> IntuitiveNipple: what do you mean?
[03:44] <dyrne> vcrobe: what are you wanting to do just build some stuff from source?
[03:45] <vcrobe> dyrne I need to see some Kernel's files but I don't know the names
[03:45] <dyrne> vcrobe: ah
[03:45] <vcrobe> dyrne no, I'm doing a compiler
[03:45] <krantix> i'm trying to compile MYSQL GUI TOOLS on ubuntu... when i run make and make install which directory should i provide for the installation?
[03:46] <vcrobe> dyrne And I need to know some things specifics of the Linux Kernel
[03:46] <vcrobe> dyrne And I'm working with Ubuntu
[03:46] <predaeus> KrAsHeR: *g* weird. did u try the vlc player?
[03:47] <dyrne> vcrobe: you should i think just need to download kernel-source package
[03:47] <royel> doojin: have you read this page yet? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto
[03:47] <krantix> where is the best place to untar a file before making a ./configure, make and make install? thanks!
[03:47] <vcrobe> dyrne Maybe, but FreeBSD let you choose wich file you want to download
[03:48] <conidu14> slut tout le monde !!
[03:48] <conidu14> ya des franais ici ?
[03:48] <vcrobe> dyrne I guess that Unbutu has something like that

[03:48] <novastorm_> Hi, a little question i want to remove openoffice.org from ubuntu desktop but it also want to delete ubuntu-desktop.. what files does that package contain?
[03:48] <jrib> !ubuntu-desktop | novastorm_
[03:48] <ubotu> novastorm_: k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading.
[03:49] <slippyr4> novastorm: nothing - it's a meta package
[03:49] <doojin> royel : I'm reading it
[03:49] <novastorm_> ah ok ty :] 
[03:49] <royel> doojin: I think that might be enough to help you do what it is you trying to do :)
[03:49] <amir_> how can i add this module? No module named minigl

[03:50] <josh_> just did fsck -V -r /dev/sdc1 with option 1 as the post described and I still get "There are differences between bootsector and its backup"
[03:50] <novastorm_> and the upgrade is that like (apt-get upgrade) or the dist-upgrade ?
[03:50] <jeroenvrp> question 2: is ext4 ready for primetime in Feisty?!
[03:50] <Wanderer> hmm, if a machine is running an intel core2 Duo, it shold be running amd64, not i386 right?
[03:50] <[DM-S] frieksk> did you guys ever realised the support crap?
[03:51] <Toma-> jeroenvrp: are the benefits going to out weight the incompatibility?
[03:51] <jrib> novastorm_: upgrading to a new ubuntu release
[03:51] <novastorm_> ok ty for your time :)
[03:51] <jrib> jeroenvrp: feisty questions in #ubuntu+1
[03:51] <Toma-> [DM-S] frieksk: only with cheap underwear
[03:51] <jeroenvrp> Toma-: I thought it was compatible with ext3
[03:51] <jeroenvrp> jrib: ok
[03:51] <Toma-> jeroenvrp: probably :)
[03:52] <[DM-S] frieksk> Toma-: to get your wifi going: download this download that
[03:52] <Toma-> [DM-S] frieksk: thats more of an issue with your wireless card manufactirer
[03:52] <[DM-S] frieksk> hey, wait a minute, isn't it the internet i try to get working on that computer?
[03:52] <[DM-S] frieksk> owke
[03:52] <Erealz> hey why are torrent file so slow dling on ubuntu
[03:53] <[DM-S] frieksk> take wine than
[03:53] <Erealz> sup with that?
[03:53] <Wanderer> anyone?
[03:53] <Toma-> [DM-S] frieksk: some wireless card makers actually SUPPORT linux. they have packages ready for install and work super out of the box
[03:54] <[DM-S] frieksk> owke
[03:54] <[DM-S] frieksk> i have a card
[03:54] <[DM-S] frieksk> works out of the box
[03:54] <[DM-S] frieksk> untill you try it
[03:54] <Toma-> keep it all in 1 line. makes it easier to read :)
[03:54] <[DM-S] frieksk> k
[03:55] <Toma-> [DM-S] frieksk: so it works, but it doesnt really work...?
[03:55] <dyrne> vcrobe: sorry boss walked by :) you can apt-cache search linux-source for a list.  there isnt really a nice directory tree to go through like freebsd.  the file itself is /var/lib/dpkg/avaialable i think. you can grep it or do the apt-cache search. same thing
[03:56] <ForgeAus> how do I run System -> Preferences -> Sessions  menu item from external to gnome?
[03:56] <Slart> Wanderer: you get a little extra performance.. but there are still some stuff not available for 64-bit ubuntu
[03:56] <[DM-S] frieksk> it should work out of the box, well that's what this site 'said' https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsDlink
[03:56] <ForgeAus> (I actually have kubuntu and I don't want to switch windows managers because I got too much open in this session ))
[03:56] <ForgeAus> but I do have ubuntu-desktop installed too
[03:56] <Slart> Wanderer: most noticeable, flash and w32codecs... there are others too.. you can solve these problems but it takes some handywork
[03:57] <darkstar> burepe, thanks, done. Butr still could not find any OPERA package for ubuntu..
[03:57] <mindstate> ForgeAus, gnome-sessions i think
[03:57] <[DM-S] frieksk> i tried to install wine
[03:57] <[DM-S] frieksk> but i keep getting this retard depency problem
[03:57] <jrib> ForgeAus: gnome-session-properties
[03:57] <Toma-> [DM-S] frieksk: are you using apt-get to install wine?
[03:58] <[DM-S] frieksk> hm
[03:58] <[DM-S] frieksk> dont you need internet for that?
[03:58] <Toma-> [DM-S] frieksk: in ubuntu, compiling will make you angry.
[03:58] <Toma-> why do you need wine?
[03:58] <ForgeAus> ahh it has an assertion that gnome is the desktop client...
[03:58] <Wanderer> Slart: ok, but that proc is amd64, not i386 only.  Good to know for next rebuild of the machine
[03:58] <ForgeAus> ie fails requires me to log out and back in :(
[03:58] <[DM-S] frieksk> switchbox thingy
[03:58] <ForgeAus> thanx anyway
[03:59] <hdx_> darkstar: sudo aptitude install libqt3-mt ... wget http://ftp.wayne.edu/opera/linux/910/final/en/i386/shared/opera_9.10-20061214.6-shared-qt_en_i386.deb ... sudo dpkg -i opera_9.10-20061214.6-shared-qt_en_i386.deb
[03:59] <slippyr4> well, i said that pvmove was working, but then i'd forgotten that it was a bad idea to be moving the root filesystem cos of locking issues, so now i've screwed up my install, again. oops.
[03:59] <Toma-> [DM-S] frieksk: is it nessecary to get your wireless working?
[03:59] <darkstar> hdx_ thanks
[03:59] <valehru> hmm....what application could I use for the development of use cases, bugs, etc?  it has to be something I can install on a web server
[03:59] <[DM-S] frieksk> how do you mean Toma-
[03:59] <Slart> Wanderer: although.. if you're just talking about what archicecture to chose when compiliing or getting debs then using something other than i386 will get you better performance.. but I think i686 is the highest atm
[04:00] <Toma-> [DM-S] frieksk: well, do you NEED this windows application to make your dlink wireless work?
[04:00] <Slart> Wanderer: or you can compile for amd64 specifically?
[04:00] <[DM-S] frieksk> well
[04:00] <[DM-S] frieksk> it could be handy to install the windows driver and use them instead ...
[04:00] <kenthomson> HELP; kernel question; I am having the default kernel that comes with u.6.10 and the one present in a fully updated ubuntu system (maybe x_86, one). and i herd that having a specific kernel gives performance boost. Is it true? I downloaded the kernel-i386 through synaptic and it now it wants me to restart my system (obviously it has to, i am having a AMD 2600XP+), but my point is i have seen extremely long linux sites about kernel installing things, S
[04:00] <kenthomson> o in ubuntu is selecting a kernel image in synaptic and downloading it all that i need to do? Do i have to do something for the nvidia drivers (i think they require proper kernel headers or whatever they are called). I mean after i restart my system will everything come up just fine or will the nvidia drivers fail. Also by me changing the kernel the the non-standard ubuntu install will i have any problems? And lastly is the i386 kernel the one i requi
[04:00] <kenthomson> re or did i screwed everything up?!
[04:00] <[DM-S] frieksk> but not nessacary
[04:01] <Toma-> [DM-S] frieksk: you can use the .inf file from your windows driver with ndiswrapper...?
[04:01] <erUSUL> kenthomson: have you instaled the drver with apt?
[04:01] <kenthomson> erUSUL, i installed it through synaptic, i don't whether it is apt or aptitude
[04:01] <erUSUL> kenthomson: or from the *.run file found in nvidia.com
[04:02] <nfx> does parted support partition merge?
[04:02] <distant_voic1> hooray! after lots of problems I managed to install Ubuntu 6.1. I just startedt to mount my windows partition but I need root access. I know it's a stupid question, but what is the root pass? I know my own user pass, but it's not identical with the root pass and I have no idea where to get a root pass. Any help is appreciated!
[04:02] <erUSUL> kenthomson: then everything should be ok make sure you have the linux-restricted-modules-* corresponding to the kernel you want to use
[04:02] <kenthomson> erUSUL, oh the nvidia drivers!, i installed them from the envy script by albert, and that does installation by downloading the nvidia drivers from the nvidia.com, which probably means the *.run file as they are newer than the ones present in the ubunu repos.
[04:03] <royel> distant_voic1: by default there is no root pass, use "sudo"
[04:03] <jrib> !sudo | distant_voic1
[04:03] <ubotu> distant_voic1: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[04:03] <royel> !root | distant_voic1
[04:03] <distant_voic1> I used su
[04:03] <distant_voic1> what is sudo
[04:03] <[DM-S] frieksk> if i find the right aid for that i will try it Toma-
[04:03] <jrib> distant_voic1: you'll want to mount the windows partition with proper permissions, see:

[04:04] <dejx>  but how can i connect to wpa network via network-admin ?
[04:04] <kenthomson> erUSUL, i installed the nvidia drivers from the envy script--> *.run file. So what should i do? Is having more than one linux-restricted-modules a problem? What if i select the i386 restricted modules, and some other architecture as well? What does ubuntu select?
[04:05] <[DM-S] frieksk> thx ubotu, i was looking for it
[04:05] <dejx> anyone?
[04:05] <kenthomson> erUSUL, are you sure that installing the nvidia driver from the *.run file will make my system fail although i have linux-restricted-modules.* installed? And the only option that exists is for me to re-insatall drivers through envy?
[04:05] <distant_voic1> Okay, I get what sudo does. can't i just become the superuser for a while? I could in Mandrake...
[04:06] <nfx> if i have 2 partitions and i delete the one that is empty, will i have 1 partition?
[04:06] <Slart> nfx: yes.. is this a trick question?
[04:06] <kenthomson> erUSUL, please help
[04:06] <royel> distant_voice: you could do: sudo -i to become root, but dont make a habit of it
[04:06] <dyrne> distant_voic1: you can do sudo -i or -s.  you can also use the root account by assigning root a password
[04:06] <BankHead> sup?
[04:06] <iNToIT> Hello
[04:07] <distant_voice> how do I assign a root pass?
[04:07] <dyrne> distant_voice: then sudo passwd -l root   to 'deactivate it again'
[04:07] <Eposhark> aaargh stupid munin, I don't undrstand :-)
[04:07] <kenthomson> erUSUL, also currently i am having linux-restricted-modules-generic installed should i leave it at that, or uninstall it and install linux-restricted-modules-386 or what? Please give me a place of action
[04:07] <BankHead> I'll think about it
[04:07] <iNToIT> I'll think about it
[04:07] <erUSUL> kenthomson: yes whaen you change kernel you will have to rerun the *.run file
[04:07] <nfx> Slart: no. i mean will the partition table still be there and show 2 partitions or will it have the effect of merging them?
[04:07] <erUSUL> kenthomson: that's how things work with third party drivers...
[04:07] <kenthomson> erUSUL, what about my current situation do i remove the generic-restricted-modules and install the 386-ones through synaptic or what?
[04:08] <[DM-S] frieksk> how can you see if certain drivers are installed?
[04:08] <erUSUL> kenthomson: X will fail to load and you will end up in a console login you will have to reinstall the drivers from there
[04:08] <royel> distant_voice: to assign a root passwd: sudo passwd, then it will prompt for a "NEW" password
[04:08] <kenthomson> erUSUL, i understand that process
[04:08] <darkstar> hdx_, can't intall i386 on x86_64 :(
[04:08] <Slart> nfx: if you have 2 partitions, 1 60Gb, 1 40Gb and you delete the 40Gb one.. then you have 1 60Gb partition left.. both in partition table and in general use
[04:08] <Roey> How do I change startup runlevel in Feisty Fawn?
[04:08] <erUSUL> kenthomson: what's your current situation?
[04:09] <dyrne> Roey: i was about to say init command but nevermind :)
[04:09] <ardchoille> royel: Please do not tell people how to enable the root account, that is not supported configuration and it is not needed. Sudo can do anything you need to do in Ubuntu.
[04:09] <nfx> Slart: how can i get my lost 40gbs back? i want to have 1 partition with 100gb
[04:09] <distant_voice> dyrne: How can I assign a root pass without knowing the current one?
[04:09] <alanhaggai> I am able to use my password in the Gnome. But when I go to the terminal only mode, when I get the login, it is always showing wrong password. What is the problem?
[04:09] <Roey> dyrne:  aye thanks
[04:09] <Erealz> why are torrent dl so slow under ubuntu i dont understand why ? can anyone share some light on that im useing defoult bittorrent client that come with ubuntu.
[04:09] <r_rehashed> hi all
[04:09] <erUSUL> kenthomson: there's no need to change to the i386 kernel you will not gain speed doing that
[04:09] <r_rehashed> is there a pdf editor for ubuntu?
[04:09] <kenthomson> erUSUL, I am currently having linux-restricted-modules-generic with nvidia drivers latest, on a linux-kernel-generic, Now i instaleed kernel-376, so  what about whether i need generic-restricted-modules or the 386-restricted modules? SHould i uninstall the generic ones and re-install the 368-modules?
[04:09] <erUSUL> !generic > kenthomson
[04:09] <Slart> nfx: then you first delete the second partition and then "grow"/"expand"/"change size", depending on what software you use, that partition to the new size
[04:10] <ardchoille> r_rehashed: OpenOffice.org can save/export to pdf
[04:10] <crimsun> Roey: see /usr/share/doc/upstart/README.Debian.gz, please.
[04:10] <Roey> crimsun:  ok, thanks.  Long time no see Daniel!
[04:10] <kenthomson> erUSUL, could you answer my above question
[04:10] <doojin> hi
[04:10] <r_rehashed> ardchoille: I need to edit a pdf document
[04:10] <Slart> nfx: there might be some software that lets you merge partitions too.. perhaps..
[04:10] <erUSUL> kenthomson: if you used envy (and the run file) you do not need the recstricted modules at least for the nvidia card dunno other hrdware you may have
[04:10] <nfx> Slart: is there  a freeware program for windows that expands it?
[04:10] <dyrne> distant_voice: its better to do sudo -s or -i for a root terminal.  i never really activate root anymore but if you need to just preface the passwd command with sudo to give root a new password to use
[04:10] <ardchoille> r_rehashed: You'll need to get a copy of adobe acrobat, then.
[04:11] <royel> ardchoille: information is free, my computer is mine, an I'm sure his computer is his, if he wants or needs a root user, by all means he should know how an since ubuntu does not own my hardware there should be no reason to allow them to determine my or anyone else usage.
[04:11] <r_rehashed> ardchoille: on ubuntu?
[04:11] <car_watt> How to burned cd with command line
[04:11] <car_watt> ?
[04:11] <alanhaggai> In the terminal only mode, when I try to login, it is always showing wrong password. What is the problem?
[04:11] <doojin> Installing usplash-theme turned out to be simple after I read the makefile of example usplash theme source code.
[04:11] <Slart> nfx: hmm.. I'm not sure.. I used a.. ahem... *coughborrowed*.. version of partition magic when I was using windows
[04:11] <kenthomson> erUSUL, and also, as of now i have installed the linux-386 kernel and my system required reboot after which the new kernel will come into play, but at the MOMENT it is running on generic-linux-kernel, can i revert back to generic-kernel? (remember synaptic just finished installing 3860kernel and is asking for reboot)
[04:11] <Brismetal> hey guys, do I need to do anything to Downloader X to get it to multi-thread a download?
[04:11] <Roey> crimsun:  but I don't /have/ an /etc/iittab on my Feisty system...
[04:11] <ikonia_> kenthomson generic kernel - is the same
[04:11] <r_rehashed> ardchoille: isn't there a free option? I don't think acrobat runs on Linux.
[04:11] <Slart> nfx: but the gnome partition manager can do it.. just boot from the ubuntu live cd (that's the same as the normal install cd)
[04:12] <ikonia_> Roey it uses upstart instead of system V init
[04:12] <crimsun> Roey: so create one as the note says.
[04:12] <ardchoille> royel: True, but you are in #ubuntu and need to comply with the supported items here in and enableing the root account is not supported. If you desire to continue recommending that, maybe you need to start your own channel.
[04:12] <ardchoille> r_rehashed: Not that I know of.
[04:12] <Erealz> ok
[04:12] <erUSUL> kenthomson: yes the old kernel should still be aviable in the grub menu
[04:12] <Erealz> umm help
[04:12] <Erealz> i nneed help
[04:12] <r_rehashed> ardchoille: thanks
[04:12] <ikonia_> Erealz you have to ask a question to get help
[04:12] <myeatman> haha
[04:12] <Erealz> is  the defoult torrent download that come with ubuntu slow
[04:13] <Roey> ikonia_:   I know
[04:13] <Roey> thanks though :)
[04:13] <royel> ardchoille: I didnt recommend it, he asked a question, I answered.. by advising him to use sudo -i.
[04:13] <Erealz> cous it takeing a long time to dl a file
[04:13] <ikonia_> Roey if you knew, why did you ask
[04:13] <TeePOG> i think you do that with "sudo su" or something
[04:13] <Erealz> and in windows it
[04:13] <ikonia_> Erealz possibly your router or the peers are slow
[04:13] <Erealz> gos much faster
[04:13] <Erealz> what up with that
[04:13] <Roey> ikonia_:  I didn't know upstart still uses inittab.
[04:13] <ardchoille> royel: You also advised him to enable root, that is not a good idea. sudo can do anything neede4d in Ubuntu.
[04:13] <Slart> Erealz: I don't think it's much slower than other clients.. might be the swarm?
[04:13] <myeatman> so it's slow w/ ubuntu and fast w/ windows?
[04:13] <ikonia_> Roey I didn't think it did either to be honest
[04:13] <royel> ardchoille: I didn't advise him, he asked how
[04:13] <nfx> Slart: thank
[04:13] <nfx> s
[04:14] <alanhaggai> In the terminal only mode, when I try to login, it is always showing wrong password. What is the problem?
[04:14] <Roey> ikonia_:  and now since there's no /etc/inittab, I'm going to be /very/ careful in how i create one.
[04:14] <Erealz> what if it my router
[04:14] <ikonia_>  Roey whats complaining that it wants inittab
[04:14] <ikonia_> Erealz fix it or change the router
[04:14] <Dr_willis> showing the password? huh?
[04:14] <royel> ardchoille: you need to show me where it is stated that support will not be given to ubuntu users who enable thier root account!
[04:15] <Roey> ikonia_:  what is? Upstart docs say to create one if it does not exist (in order to have that line in their dictating the default runlevel)
[04:15] <ikonia_> Roey I didn't think upstart wanted an inittab
[04:15] <Rob21> hey i have both gnome and kde installed. can i keep my kde and gnome shortcuts sepreate? thanks
[04:15] <Roey> ikonia_:  the /usr/share docs say otherwise
[04:15] <ikonia_> Roey how interesting
[04:15] <Erealz> can someone help me with my torrent slowness problem?
[04:15] <ikonia_> Erealz you've been helped
[04:16] <Dr_willis> i always find torrents slow.. i think the isps are starting to crack down on them. :(
[04:16] <Erealz> oh god
[04:16] <Doug52392> Hi
[04:16] <ardchoille> !coc
[04:16] <ubotu> The Ubuntu Code of Conduct to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/
[04:16] <Dr_willis> enable the protocall encryption feature can help.
[04:16] <Erealz> witch is the answer
[04:16] <alanhaggai> Can someone help me? I asked the question several times. No reply.
[04:16] <ikonia_> Erealz its either your network connection, your ISP, your router or not enough fast peers
[04:16] <valehru> ok, I have bugzilla almost set up.  However when I go to it on my webserver it keeps trying to redirect me to /cgi-bin/bugzilla/index.cgi which always gives an error....I think its a problem with my apache2 setup.  anyone have a clue?
[04:16] <Anubis> Does anyone know the name of a program used for downloading i don't remember it ( i remember that it starts with 'A') ?
[04:16] <ikonia_> alanhaggai whats the question
[04:16] <Dr_willis> or course a lot depends on the specific torrent..
[04:16] <Slart> alanhaggai: then probably  no
[04:16] <alanhaggai> ikonia, Which of the below is not a network connectors?
[04:16] <alanhaggai> 1. DVI
[04:16] <alanhaggai> 2. RJ-45
[04:16] <alanhaggai> 3. BNC
[04:16] <alanhaggai> 4. DB-15
[04:17] <alanhaggai> Ah sorry
[04:17] <ikonia_> dvi
[04:17] <Dr_willis> :)
[04:17] <alanhaggai> In the terminal only mode, when I try to login, it is always showing wrong password. What is the problem?
[04:17] <Erealz> ok lets go with the router
[04:17] <Slart> what is a DB-15 connector??
[04:17] <TeePOG> 1
[04:17] <Erealz> cous i know it not my connection
[04:17] <Erealz> or my iso same thing
[04:17] <hd770> Erealz: It could be any number of things. try different torrent programs, make sure ports are forwarded with your router, and make sure the torrents are actually supposed to be faster than they are
[04:17] <Dr_willis> alanhaggai,  what do you mean 'showing wrong password'
[04:17] <ikonia_> Erealz ok, good luck
[04:17] <rendo> Quick question, if I go into recovery mode, and edit Xorg, save and then type startx, will I need to recompile Xorg with the changes or will it do it on its own?
[04:17] <Anubis>  Does anyone know the name of a program used for downloading i don't remember it ( i remember that it starts with 'A') ?
[04:17] <alanhaggai> Dr_willis, it's not loggin me in.
[04:17] <Slart> Anubis: Azureus?
[04:17] <Erealz> of course
[04:17] <valehru> Anubis, azureus
[04:17] <Toma-> Anubis: downloading torrents?
[04:17] <Dr_willis> rendo,  its just a confifg file... you dont recompile
[04:17] <etronik> Hey all, I need some setup advice.... regarding media repository, who's up for it ??
[04:17] <TeePOG> db-15 was used, amongst others, for the gameport on soundcards
[04:18] <royel> ardchoille: I'm waiting...
[04:18] <alanhaggai> Dr_willis, I use the same password in the GUI without problems.
[04:18] <rendo> Thanks Willis
[04:18] <IntuitiveNipple> rendo: you can just do it, xorg.conf is text configuration file
[04:18] <Slart> ah, thanks TeePOG
[04:18] <TeePOG> but also IIRC for certain older networks
[04:18] <Erealz> come on im not that new that i cant tell the difference between speeds
[04:18] <luinnar> :/
[04:18] <Anubis> Can Azures download nvidia drivers ?
[04:18] <luinnar> hello
[04:18] <Erealz> anyways
[04:18] <ikonia_> Erealz you;ve been helped. This is not an ubuntu problem
[04:18] <TeePOG> alanhaggai, have you checked that your console is using the same codepage as your GUI?
[04:18] <ardchoille> royel: Waiting for what?
[04:18] <Dr_willis> alanhaggai,  be sure your caps lock isent on.  other then that.. not sure.. unless you keyboard layouts are different..
[04:18] <Dr_willis> yea that TeePOG  said.. that to. :)
[04:18] <Slart> Anubis: possibly... but it's not likely.. get them from the repositories.. or nvidias site
[04:18] <royel> ardchoille: you need to show me where it is stated that support will not be given to ubuntu users who enable thier root account!
[04:18] <alanhaggai> TeePOG, How to check that?
[04:19] <Erealz> ok but you havnt told me how to fix this
[04:19] <etronik> I want to move audio files+photos from \home\myuser to \multimedia owned by root, how can I make /multimedia acessible & writable by regular users ??
[04:19] <alanhaggai> Dr_willis, I entered the correct one. Tried several times. No way.
[04:19] <ardchoille> royel: We are to comply with supported configuration. If you cannot do that maybe you need to take it to #ubuntu-offtopic. That's all I will say.
[04:19] <ikonia_> Erealz contact your router vendor and ISP
[04:19] <Erealz> like how do i know what port ubuntu is useing for torrent
[04:19] <vmware> hi
[04:19] <TeePOG> alanhaggai, what are you using for a console?
[04:19] <Pensacola> I recently put my /home folder on another partition but now my games are choppy when I play them :s
[04:19] <Doug52392> How do I install Ubuntu so I can still boot into Windows XP?
[04:19] <ikonia_> Erealz the same port as every bittorrent client
[04:19] <ardchoille> royel: Ask the ops, they also say enabling root is not supported.
[04:19] <ikonia_> Doug52392 you install ubuntu along side windows XP
[04:19] <Eposhark> how can I display my current hostname in debian?
[04:19] <Erealz> well i dont know it
[04:19] <Slart> Erealz: it's not ubuntu that's dealing with torrents.. it's some application in ubuntu
[04:19] <alanhaggai> TeePOG, I pressed Ctrl + Alt + F1
[04:19] <Dr_willis> Doug52392,  it should default to having that in the menus for GRub..
[04:20] <yettenet> Damn, what an idiot I am
[04:20] <royel> ardchoille: no, they will say it's not a good idea
[04:20] <ikonia_> Erealz - cnotact your router vendor or your ISP
[04:20] <Slart> Erealz: find out what that application is called
[04:20] <alanhaggai> TeePOG, using the default terminal.
[04:20] <Erealz> k....checking
[04:20] <ardchoille> royel: Please talk to the ops. I'm done with this topic.
[04:20] <Doug52392> What is the recommended partition layout? I have a 37 gb hard drive
[04:20] <Erealz> application is bit torent
[04:20] <ikonia_> Doug52392 10 gig for ubuntu - double your ram for swap - rest for windows
[04:20] <Dr_willis> Doug52392,  you hae a single drive - going to have windows on it?
[04:21] <Slart> Doug52392: depends on what you're going to do with your system..
[04:21] <yettenet> I had my phone ringin', picked it up, and, since my girlfriend usually calls at this time, I said "Hi there, my only one"
[04:21] <TeePOG> er alanhaggai, then that would be in your bash config i guess ... it's easier to change the codepage in Konsole or something
[04:21] <Doug52392> it has windows on it now
[04:21] <Dr_willis> double ram for swap can be a bit over kill - if you have a lot of ram.
[04:21] <dejand> how do i find out which driver is using my wlan card (pcmcia and integrated) ?
[04:21] <ikonia_> Erealz last time - this is not an ubuntu problem, contact your router vendor or ISP
[04:21] <tahsin> why cant i access system>administration>login window ? ? ?
[04:21] <tahsin> why cant i access system>administration>login window ? ? ?
[04:21] <ikonia_> tahsin we heard you the first time
[04:21] <Erealz> ikonia your not helping at all
[04:21] <tahsin> why cant i access system>administration>login window ? ? ?need help
[04:21] <alanhaggai> TeePOG, I will try to edit that file then. What to do with it?
[04:21] <Dr_willis> tahsin we heard you the first time
[04:21] <tahsin> sorry
[04:21] <yettenet> I then heard the voice of a woman about 23-24 telling me that she is from a company which deals with several sorts of stuff - and asks me if I am interested in it
[04:21] <yettenet> ...
[04:21] <ikonia_> Erealz because this is ubuntu help - and you don't have an ubuntu problem
[04:22] <tahsin> sorry for repeating
[04:22] <Dr_willis> put more ??? at the end.. that always helps :)
[04:22] <doojin> ikonia_: Installing usplash-theme turned out to be simple after I read the makefile of example usplash theme source code.
[04:22] <Dextorion> yettenet: hehe.. hehehehehe :p
[04:22] <tahsin> so plz help me
[04:22] <ikonia_> doojin I know its simple
[04:22] <yettenet> :P
[04:22] <yettenet> She was sort of laughing :P
[04:22] <Erealz> yes it tis torrent file dl slow on my ubuntu box
[04:22] <ikonia_> tahsin what happens when you try to access it
[04:22] <Dextorion> yettenet: can imagine that. :)
[04:22] <doojin> ikonia_ : It wasn't simple until I read the makefile of the example theme
[04:22] <ikonia_> Erealz the problem is not with ubuntu
[04:22] <etronik> If I move audio files+photos from \home\myuser to \multimedia owned by root, how can I make /multimedia acessible & writable by regular users ?? or by a DAAP server?
[04:22] <Erealz> 2nd i know how to configure my roughter
[04:22] <ikonia_> doojin thats your problem
[04:22] <royel> doojin: nothing ever is simply if you don't understand how it works :)
[04:22] <tahsin> ikonia_: it askes for root passeord but when i enter the password nothing happens
[04:22] <Doug52392> when I install Ubuntu, it should automaticly detect I have Windows and install GRub, right?
[04:23] <ikonia_> tahsin check the syslog and the gnome desktop log
[04:23] <Slart> etronik: you could always do a sudo chmod a+rw /directoryname
[04:23] <royel> doojin: simply = simple
[04:23] <ikonia_> Doug52392 yes it should
[04:23] <tahsin> ikonia_: how do i check it ?
[04:23] <Slart> Doug52392: I think GRUB is installed regardless of windows being there
[04:23] <ikonia_> tahsin open it in a text editor
[04:23] <[DM-S] frieksk> ubotu: you happen to know how you get ndiswrapper installed?
[04:23] <doojin> ikonia_ : I just needed to make, and make install, and make a symbolic link to the compiled so file.
[04:23] <tahsin> ikonia_: you mean terminal?
[04:23] <etronik> Slart: That'll make it writable by everyone ?

[04:23] <phazeman> did anyone here ever installed ubuntu on an external USB HD ?
[04:23] <Erealz> ok what the defoult bittorent port number?
[04:23] <Slart> etronik: you could always do a sudo chmod a+rw -R /directoryname    (-R to make it recursive)

[04:24] <Slart> etronik: yes
[04:24] <TeePOG> alanhaggai, i honestly have no clue how to fix this ... I was guessing, since I had the same problem logging into an SSH server a while ago ... but that was fixed in my SSH config, not Bash ... my best advice is to find a HOWTO or the bash man pages, grep for "codepage"
[04:24] <ikonia_> doojin I'm not interested - I know how to use it thanks
[04:24] <Dr_willis> phazeman,  seen/heard of others doing it.. not done it myself
[04:24] <ikonia_> Erealz you can configure it yourself
[04:24] <Anubis> Does anyone know where i can find codecs for mp3 ?
[04:24] <dejand_> ups i got offline, anyone wrote anything for me?
[04:24] <ikonia_> !mp3 >anubis
[04:24] <Slart> Anubis: w32codecs
[04:24] <TeePOG> alanhaggai, i need to leave for home ... will bbl if you struggle still, a couple hours i'd guess
[04:24] <tahsin> ikonia_: what do i do?
[04:24] <Anubis> Slart:yes that
[04:24] <Erealz> lol
[04:24] <ikonia_> tahsin open the logs in a text editor and see if it is reporting anything
[04:24] <Erealz> what the defoult bittorent port number>
[04:24] <Erealz> ?
[04:25] <ikonia_> Erealz you can configure what ever port number you want
[04:25] <Doug52392> When I resize my Windows partition, are the files still there?
[04:25] <tahsin> ikonia_: plz explain it to me cuz im a newbie
[04:25] <Slart> Anubis: aren't those in the repositories?? I have a 64bit ubuntu so I can't install them.. so I never tried
[04:25] <Anubis> because it is not free w32codecs
[04:25] <doojin> ikonia_ : did you recognize alternatives system was just for making symbolic links?
[04:25] <ikonia_> tahsin well, you open the logs in a text editor
[04:25] <tahsin> ikonia_: how do i open log
[04:25] <Slart> Doug52392: yes
[04:25] <freezey> i am looking for a good HTML text editor something similar to a Dreamweaver... anybody know of?
[04:25] <dejand_> how do i find out wlan driver?
[04:25] <tahsin> ikonia_: how do i do that
[04:25] <ikonia_> doojin what ?
[04:25] <Doug52392> ok, thanks
[04:25] <ikonia_> tahsin open a text editor - then in that open a log file
[04:25] <van_hack> Erealz: http://btfaq.com/serve/cache/25.html

[04:25] <Erealz> where do i configure bittorent at?
[04:25] <Slart> Doug52392: but as always.. backup anything important before doing partitioning stuff
[04:25] <ikonia_> Erealz in the client

[04:26] <tahsin> ikonia_: how do i do that?
[04:26] <ikonia_> read that Erealz
[04:26] <Dr_willis> Erealz,  depends on the specific bittorrent client you are using.
[04:26] <Anubis> i don't have in repositories w32codecs cause it's not free
[04:26] <tahsin> ikonia_: i dont get you
[04:26] <ikonia_> tahsin sorry I'm not interested in helping you at this time
[04:26] <doojin> ikonia_ : alternative system was introduced in usplash customization howto

[04:28] <Erealz> please stop saying that
[04:28] <Erealz> cous it is
[04:28] <ikonia_> Erealz because its not
[04:29] <tahsin> dr_willis: i have installed kde on ubuntu and set kdm as default after that im having this problem i can access the login window
[04:29] <Corvus> join #ubuntu-fr
[04:29] <Dr_willis> try wine and utorrent.exe  see if it works better. :)
[04:29] <Erealz> the stupid client the that by defoult dosnt give me options to configure it
[04:29] <amir_> soundray: i got this error: No module named minigl
[04:29] <Erealz> it wont even let me create torrent
[04:29] <Logicbox> can anyone help a noob?
[04:29] <Dr_willis> tahsin,  im not even sure what you mean by the 'login window'   you mean the configuration tool for gdm/kdm ?
[04:29] <ikonia_> !bitttorrent >Erealz
[04:29] <tahsin> dr_willis: it asks for root password when i input the pass nothing happens
[04:29] <soundray> amir_: how and where?
[04:29] <anandanbu> i have installed nmap in my machine and when i scan a site of OS detection it asks for root previliges how do resolve this
[04:29] <Slart> Erealz: then ask the people who made the client.. or install any of the other clients
[04:29] <ikonia_> anandanbu use sudo
[04:29] <whonicca> anyone have terminal.ttf?
[04:30] <Seveas> anandanbu, run it with sudo :)
[04:30] <tahsin> dr_willis: system>administration>login window
[04:30] <van_hack> Logicbox: probably, depends on your question :P
[04:30] <Anubis> ok 10x
[04:30] <Dr_willis> tahsin,  im not using gnome.. so the menu items mean nothing to me.
[04:30] <Dr_willis> tahsin,  whis is why i suggested finding out what command its actually running.
[04:30] <soundray> tahsin: try entering your user password. It shouldn't ask for the root password.
[04:30] <Seveas> Dr_willis, (it's gdmsetup)
[04:30] <doojin> ikonia_ : what are you interested in?
[04:30] <ikonia_> Dr_willis I think its gdmsetup
[04:30] <Dr_willis> tahsin,  of course it may be somthing more basic.. You are trying to run this as your first user?
[04:30] <anandanbu> iam using the GUI version of the nmap
[04:31] <ikonia_> doojin thats not for discussion in here
[04:31] <Dr_willis> tahsin,  it then wants the first users password.
[04:31] <doojin> ikonia_ : maybe it was too personal
[04:31] <tahsin> dr_willis: the command is gksu gdmsetup
[04:31] <phazeman> thanks Dr_willis
[04:31] <tahsin> gksu gd,setup
[04:31] <ikonia_> doojin not at all, its just nothing to do with ubuntu and this is ubuntu support

[04:31] <kenthomson> ikonia_, my current situation, i am having u.6.10 on generic ubuntu kernel (machine AMD Athlon xp2600+). I installed the i386 kernel right no in synaptic it has finished download and synaptic is asking me to restart my system for the effect to take place. If you are going to tell me that generic=i386 and that i am not going to have any performance gain out of the new kernel, than tell me what do i do now? Because once i restart the new kernel will be
[04:31] <kenthomson> in-place. Is it possible for me to revert back to the original one(generic)? What if i select "complete removal" for the i386 kernel in synaptic now? WIll that work out well? PLease guide me
[04:32] <kenthomson> *now
[04:32] <ikonia_> kenthomson just use the generic
[04:32] <tahsin> dr_willis: the command is gksu gdmsetup gnome display manager
[04:32] <doojin> ikonia_ : Are you one of ubuntu support men?
[04:32] <ikonia_> doojin no
[04:32] <Erealz> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=363946&highlight=bit+torrents
[04:32] <ikonia_> I only offer support in here or to paying clients
[04:32] <Logicbox> van_hack check your message
[04:32] <kenthomson> ikonia_, is i396=generic?
[04:32] <Erealz> it not just me
[04:32] <Slart> kenthomson: I think they use generic because it was more trouble doing different kernels and tracking bugs in them all than just having one kernel for everyone
[04:32] <ikonia_> kenthomson thats correct
[04:33] <Seveas> kenthomson, no
[04:33] <doojin> ikonia_ : It seems you are paid
[04:33] <Dr_willis> tahsin,  you are runnign this under  your initial first user you made account?
[04:33] <Seveas> kenthomson, the 386 kernel isn't the generic kernel
[04:33] <ikonia_> doojin thats not for discussion in here
[04:33] <kenthomson> ikonia_, Seveas, ?
[04:33] <Slart> kenthomson: something about the performance gain not being big enough to make it worth the trouble
[04:33] <Seveas> kenthomson, don
[04:33] <ikonia_> kenthomson listen to the man
[04:33] <tahsin> dr_willis: first user that is me
[04:33] <Seveas> kenthomson, don't know what ikonia_ is thinking ;)
[04:33] <kenthomson> Seveas, go on dear
[04:33] <Erealz> it not fair
[04:33] <ikonia_> Seveas I thought generic was "x86"
[04:33] <ikonia_> Erealz please be quiet
[04:34] <Seveas> ikonia_, it is
[04:34] <Erealz> you mama
[04:34] <tahsin> dr_willis: it first got this problem after installing kDE
[04:34] <Dr_willis> tahsin,   kde shouldent be affecting that at all.. i always install kde on the ubuntu systems i have.. and visa-versa
[04:34] <ikonia_> Seveas sorry, have I miss-represented something
[04:34] <ikonia_> I was responding to 10 things at once
[04:34] <Seveas> ikonia_, but the generic kernel has a few things the 386 does not have (like smp)
[04:34] <tahsin> dr_willis: but i changed the default from gdm to kdm
[04:35] <ikonia_> Seveas yeah, exactly its x86
[04:35] <Dr_willis> tahsin,  then WHY are you trying to run gdmsetup? you want to run the kdm setup tool..
[04:35] <tahsin> dr_willis: so how do i change it to gdm back again
[04:35] <Seveas> ikonia_, but the generic kernel has a few things the 386 *kernel* does not have (like smp)
[04:35] <kenthomson> Seveas,  my current situation, i am having u.6.10 on generic ubuntu kernel (machine AMD Athlon xp2600+). I installed the i386 kernel right no in synaptic it has finished download and synaptic is asking me to restart my system for the effect to take place. What do you suggest i do? I also installed nvidia drivers through the *.run file and will need to re-install that if i select the new kernel. Do you recommend using the 386 one?
[04:35] <tahsin> dr_willis: yes but thats also not working
[04:35] <ikonia_> Seveas yeah, I agree x86
[04:35] <Seveas> (just a bit of clarification there, it was confusing)
[04:35] <Dr_willis> tahsin,   i think theres a command like  'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm'
[04:35] <tahsin> dr_willis: i have the same problem on kde
[04:35] <Dr_willis> tahsin,  that asks what to use
[04:35] <amir_> jrib
[04:36] <tahsin> ok
[04:36] <jrib> amir_: hi
[04:36] <ikonia_> Seveas did I say something different ?
[04:36] <Dr_willis> tahsin,  try some of the other admin type tools.. it may be some deeper issue.
[04:36] <Seveas> kenthomson, just remove the 386 kernel again - you don't need it
[04:36] <Seveas> and you'll be fine, even without rebooting
[04:36] <Logicbox> can anyone msg me on installing fvwm-2.4.20.tar.gz on Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft
[04:36] <kenthomson> Seveas, that means i select "complete removal" in synaptic for that package i installed?
[04:36] <soundray> amir_: I have no idea what you are doing. Are you sure this channel is a good place to ask? We support ubuntu here...
[04:36] <Seveas> kenthomson, correct
[04:37] <tahsin> dr_willis: thanks i got it hope its working now
[04:37] <kenthomson> Seveas, And would you please take the pain to explain me if generic!=i386, than why do you recommend the generic one to me and not the 386 one?
[04:37] <ikonia_> kenthomson generic is for the x86 platform
[04:37] <tahsin> dr_willis: no its not working
[04:37] <ikonia_> not the 386,486, 586 - x86
[04:37] <kenthomson> ikonia_, got it!
[04:37] <amir_> jrib soundray: i know i ask it in emc room they told me go and ask from ubuntu
[04:37] <Seveas> ikonia_, you're talking nonsense again
[04:37] <kenthomson> ikonia_, hoa
[04:38] <kenthomson> Seveas, i am all ears
[04:38] <tahsin> dr_willis: my ntfs and fat32 partitions have disappeared after installing kde
[04:38] <amir_> jrin i am the bigli
[04:38] <hd770> isn' the i386 useless now?
[04:38] <hd770> generic was better I thought I read
[04:38] <Toma-> Seveas: changed from fedora? :)
[04:38] <Seveas> 386, 486, 586, pentiums, amds, even amd64 in 32 bit mode are all x86
[04:38] <Dr_willis> tahsin,  im thinking you got deeper issues.. installing kde shouldent mess with that either.
[04:38] <amir_> jrib i am the bigli

[04:39] <kenthomson> soundray, are you particularly fond of me? ;-)
[04:39] <amir_> soundray: it is a cnc for linux, working with other gui mode but give me this error on axis gui mode
[04:40] <kenthomson> Seveas, i installed the 386-kernel in synaptic so everything should be fine for me?
[04:40] <ikonia_> kenthomson thats 386 - not x86
[04:40] <Seveas> kenthomson, just remove it - you don't need it but it does not hurt
[04:40] <mols> hello, where i can find how to install java on ubuntu
[04:40] <soundray> amir_: what's cnc?
[04:40] <Ryiel> My login screen is in extremely high resolution. (1970x970 or such) My TFT needs 1280x1024. I checked the xorg.conf but i've found nothing. (everything is fine there.) How to change the login screen's resolution? Thanks!
[04:40] <Seveas> ikonia_, please get a clue before confuding him more

[04:42] <kenthomson> Seveas, " Seveas: this ken... person regularly ends up getting kickbanned. Why does he always get back in?" Is there anything anyone can do to protect users seeking help from such slurs?
[04:42] <hd770> register your nick?
[04:42] <Seveas> kenthomson, the bans I see are all because of router exploits, do you mind if I test something which may briefly disconnect you from IRC?
[04:42] <kenthomson> Seveas, no
[04:43] <[DM-S] frieksk> what do you do if the cd command doesnt work
[04:43] <kenthomson> Seveas, after comming to linux i am used to be a guinea pig for all to exploit and for all to push and kick around, as this environment is fairly new to me ;-)
[04:43] <Seveas> kenthomson, hehe
[04:43] <jrib> [DM-S] frieksk: example?
[04:43] <kenthomson> Seveas, your experiment finished?
[04:43] <Seveas> yup
[04:43] <kenthomson> Seveas, good bye, than!
[04:44] <[DM-S] frieksk> cd Desktop -> not found
[04:44] <r00tintheb0x> what would be considered a "high load average"
[04:44] <Seveas> soundray, the bans were because he was a DCC exploit victim
[04:44] <buena_swerte> kenthomson: you like building kernels? visit uClinux.org ..i wish i have the time to learn it myself
[04:44] <jrib> [DM-S] frieksk: does the Desktop directory exist in your current directory?  Maybe you meant to try  cd ~/Desktop
[04:44] <Ryiel> Can someone help me? How to change the resolution of the login screen to 1280x1024?
[04:44] <Toma-> is there a way to split a pdf in 2?
[04:44] <ikonia_> Seveas thats not %100 accurate
[04:44] <ikonia_> but thats also not for here
[04:44] <Seveas> Toma-, print it out and grab scissors :)
[04:45] <Toma-> :P
[04:45] <jrib> Toma-: pdftk
[04:45] <[DM-S] frieksk> omfg
[04:45] <[DM-S] frieksk> it was Desktop/ :|
[04:45] <ikonia_> ughhh why do people feel the need to swear in abriviations
[04:45] <Toma-> jrib: thanks :D
[04:45] <Tarsinion1> hi, does anyone know how to config dhcp-server ;-) ? i need to bind the dhcp service to one interface
[04:45] <Dr_willis> ikonia_,  to show their maturity?
[04:45] <[DM-S] frieksk> because i'm fustrated
[04:45] <Tarsinion1> i do not want that the dhcp-server is listening on all interfaces ... :P
[04:46] <ikonia_> Tarsinion1 you need to alter the init script to bind it to one nic
[04:46] <PriceChild> ikonia_, because they think its more accepted than the real words
[04:46] <jrib> Toma-: you could (probably?) open them in OOo too
[04:46] <ikonia_> Dr_willis its very sad and childish
[04:46] <ikonia_> PriceChild its not though, we all know what they mena
[04:46] <ikonia_> mean
[04:46] <Toma-> jrib: id prefer CLI
[04:46] <Tarsinion1> ikonia_ okay, let me check the init file
[04:46] <PriceChild> ikonia_, yeah I know
[04:46] <ikonia_> Tarsinion1 you need to add something "like" -d eth1
[04:47] <phaidros> with all operating systems you can change the name of a harddisk / usbdisk / usbstick .. how to do that on ubuntu?
[04:47] <royel> ikonia_: whats even more annoying is that they take the time to actually type out an emotion for all of us to share :)
[04:47] <ikonia_> so it listens ont he "device" -d
[04:47] <dyrne> !udev | phaidros
[04:47] <ikonia_> royel its just weak

[04:47] <Tarsinion1> ikonia_ maybe i can enter this to the dhcpd-config ?
[04:47] <phaidros> soundray, with fdisk?
[04:47] <Seveas> valehru, dpkg -l bugzilla
[04:47] <ikonia_> Tarsinion1 its not a config option, as I recall.  Its a start up option
[04:47] <wolferine> can I get a link for the windows .exe install of ubuntu?
[04:48] <soundray> phaidros: no, filesystem, not partition
[04:48] <Tarsinion1> mhm okay :(
[04:48] <dyrne> phaidros: eh the udev thing is probably more involved that you want to get
[04:48] <Seveas> ikonia_, it is a config option
[04:48] <phaidros> dyrne, udev is not the place for that, udev cou can use to set an alias to an ID .. but not writing on the disk ..
[04:48] <ikonia_> Seveas is it, I had to do it in init
[04:48] <royel> ikonia_: I'm a heavy gamer an I myself never have been able to get over people sharing every lil emotion like that myself.. makes you wanna just reach thru the internets an connect with someones face.. eh?? :)

[04:48] <phaidros> soundray, thnx
[04:48] <[DM-S] frieksk> how do you install ndiswrapper
[04:48] <Tarsinion1> cool!
[04:48] <Dr_willis> jron_,  'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade' should update all the stuff that needs it.
[04:48] <jron_> jrib: i'll give it a try =)

[04:49] <pbureau> [DM-S] frieksk, apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.8 ndiswrapper
[04:49] <Doug52392> Whenever I try to resize the partition on my computer, it always says its not enough space for installation
[04:49] <wolferine> the install.exe one?

[04:49] <Dr_willis> Doug52392,  scandisk/defrag beor trying to resize
[04:49] <TheGateKeeper> Doug52392, you need at least 5Gb
[04:50] <cfedde> soundray: thanks

[04:50] <Doug52392> it says the minimum i can resize the partition is 12.7gb, and the maximum 37 gb
[04:50] <Seveas> ikonia_, look in /etc/default/dhcpd :)
[04:50] <ikonia_> Tarsinion1 I can't see it in the config file as Seveas suggests, but the option is -- -q eth$
[04:50] <cfedde> soundray: but is there a patch that had the updates in it?  How can I confirm that it is set to fire on March 11?
[04:50] <pbureau> [DM-S] frieksk, then system-admin-synpatic do a search for "ndiswrapper" and install then
[04:51] <Seveas> sorry, that's /etc/default/dhcp
[04:51] <ikonia_> Seveas I'm looking now, I've found the init option but I can't see anything - hang on
[04:51] <ikonia_> Seveas ahhhhh thats very cool
[04:51] <ikonia_> didn't know you could do it that way, I had to add -q eth1 on my startup
[04:51] <Seveas> ikonia_, tip: most deamons have such a file in /etc/default
[04:51] <root__> hi
[04:51] <Toma-> Seveas: do you still run that fedora repo?
[04:51] <ikonia_> Seveas good to know
[04:51] <Seveas> Toma-, I never did
[04:51] <Toma-> oh wait... nm
[04:51] <Tarsinion1> cool thanks very much, nice option there
[04:52] <Toma-> mixing you up with Anvil :D
[04:52] <Tarsinion1> learned something new, thanks ;)
[04:52] <jron_> one more question, i'm use to gentoo, so when i read ubuntu is on a 6 month release cycle does that mean after 6 months i'll have to reinstall ubuntu to use the new packages? assuming they don't backport every app
[04:52] <soundray> cfedde: read /usr/share/doc/libc6/NEWS.gz
[04:52] <Seveas> jron_, no, you *upgrade* :)
[04:52] <root__> fuck you!!
[04:52] <ikonia_> byeeeeee
[04:52] <Doug52392> Im defraging the hard drive now.
[04:52] <ikonia_> enjoy yourselb _root
[04:52] <royel> wow
[04:52] <cfedde> soundray: perfect! thanks again
[04:52] <jron_> Seveas: so reinstall? =) heh
[04:53] <Tarsinion1> thanks for the help, goodbye guys!
[04:53] <Seveas> jron_, unlike gentoo, the Ubuntu upgrade process actually works
[04:53] <ikonia_> Seveas political !
[04:53] <royel> Seveas: lol, mean!
[04:53] <Seveas> ikonia_, no, just a rant I could not resist :)
[04:53] <ikonia_> Seveas we all have our button
[04:53] <jron_> Seveas: is there somewhere i can read about the ubuntu upgrade process and what it consists of?
[04:53] <royel> !upgrade | jron_
[04:54] <ubotu> jron_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[04:54] <Pici> Is there an easy way for me to tell if I have the proprietary or open ATI drivers installed? I cant remember what I used when I set this thing up.
[04:54] <soundray> !apt | jron_
[04:54] <ubotu> jron_: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[04:54] <Slart> jron_: I think there's some info on upgrading from dapper drake to edgy eft on the site first page or something.. seem to remember reading it
[04:54] <jron_> thanks royel, and soundray
[04:54] <Dr_willis> Pici,  look in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file for the 'Driver" line
[04:54] <Seveas> jron_, the process is: you get a popup saying "there's a new release", then you clikc three times, wait for things to download & install and you reboot for the new kernel
[04:54] <Pici> Dr_willis: Thanks
[04:54] <kuchcha> hello room
[04:55] <Dr_willis> Pici,  Driver "fglrx" or "Driver "ati""
[04:55] <kuchcha> i made a stupid mistake
[04:55] <ikonia_> Seveas interesting my 6.06 install has not alerted me to edgy's existance
[04:55] <Seveas> ikonia_, it will when the next LTS comes out
[04:55] <kuchcha> i installed lyx and accidentally deleted all the directories under /usr/share/lyx
[04:55] <Seveas> ikonia_, LTS releases only give popups for new LTS releases
[04:55] <ikonia_> Seveas ahh so it waits until the next comperable release
[04:55] <kuchcha> someone pls help
[04:55] <ikonia_> Seveas thats actually quite a good process
[04:56] <Seveas> kuchcha, apt-get install --reinstall lyx
[04:56] <Dr_willis> kuchcha,  you can force the reinstall of the package.. or remove/reinstall it i ugess
[04:56] <royel> ikonia_: I was starting to think of you as a somewhat informed user, till that last statement :) <please see the humor>
[04:56] <kuchcha> i dunno how force a re-install
[04:56] <kuchcha> Seveas: is that the command ?
[04:57] <Seveas> kuchcha, almost, you need sudo in front of it :)
[04:57] <daveR> kuchcha: is it a reasonably fresh copy? might be easiest to reinstall it a new copy to your machine.
[04:57] <yaman> is it easy to install the kde on the ubuntu dopper ?
[04:57] <kuchcha> i installed it only a few hrs ago
[04:57] <Seveas> yaman, it is, just install the kubuntu-desktop package
[04:57] <jrib> !kde | yaman
[04:57] <ubotu> yaman: KDE (http://kde.org) is the K Desktop Environment. To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop", or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE for other ways to get KDE
[04:58] <daveR> kuchcha - just reinstall completly to a fresh copy then.  that is the easiest and quickest solution
[04:58] <yaman> jrib,Seveas: thanx
[04:59] <Mixx> much props to http://lunapark6.com/?p=2717 for envy.  fantastic script
[04:59] <kuchcha> daveR , Seveas: how to remove this existing one
[04:59] <jron_> how does the upgrade-manager handle /etc/ config files when the layout changes?
[04:59] <Seveas> kuchcha, apt-get will do that for you if you do sudo apt-get install --reinstall lyx
[04:59] <GNu_Joe> Ok, where do all the Ubuntu-Server devlopers hang out?
[04:59] <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, with an without the server in the picture an it keeps coming back to the server being the only time things slowdown. I replaced all the nics just earlier today. Any clues from you experts?
[04:59] <Seveas> jron_, same way as apt does: it prompts
[04:59] <Seveas> GNu_Joe, in the bar ;)
[05:00] <kuchcha> Saveas: done that...
[05:00] <buena_swerte> royel is ipv6 enabled?
[05:00] <royel> buena_swerte: well, I'm not certain
[05:00] <jron_> k, looks simple enough; thanks for the info Seveas. ubuntu has been good to me thus far =)
[05:00] <GNu_Joe> Seveas, that would explain it then
[05:00] <bwlang> royel: try the bandwidth test from server to client. then try from server to external host to identify which connection is causing you problems.
[05:00] <kane77> is there a way to make terminal look better (I mean the ctrl+alt+f1) ??? (like have color and stuff...)
[05:00] <Seveas> GNu_Joe, what does it explain? =)
[05:00] <GMWeezel> How do I refresh the icon cache?
[05:00] <kuchcha> Saveas: thanks
[05:01] <Seveas> GMWeezel, sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -f -q /usr/share/icons/hicolor
[05:01] <soundray> kane77: it should have color already. Try 'ls ~'
[05:01] <Seveas> GMWeezel, sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -f -q /usr/share/icons/human
[05:01] <Seveas> (both)
[05:01] <GNu_Joe> Seveas, Why I can't find a web site for Ubuntu Server, just some doc pages
[05:01] <royel> buena_swerte: how can I check an what bearing would that have?
[05:01] <GMWeezel> Saves: Should I change "human" to the current theme folder?
[05:01] <daveR> kuchcha: you can either install a completely fresh copy, if so just boot from the live disk and in the install there is an option to format the hard drive.  or if you have a bit of knowledge with the sudo commands you can install just that section.  if it is only a few hours old it is unlikely you have much on it so just install fresh from the boot disk.
[05:01] <kane77> soundray, well yeah it is, but I mean more like I saw in gentoo...
[05:01] <Seveas> GNu_Joe, ubuntu server is just ubuntu, without desktop, with server-oriented kernel
[05:02] <valehru> ok, I try and access http://localhost/bugzilla however it keeps redirecting me to http://localhost/cgi-bin/bugzilla/index.cgi which leads to a 404.  However when I manually go to http://localhost/bugzilla/index.cgi it works fine.  Is there anything I can do to preven the 404?
[05:02] <soundray> kane77: I don't have the benefit of your experience
[05:02] <phaidros> use "e2label /dev/hdX label" to set a name for a filesystem (ext2/3), so then it gets mounted by udev as /media/label
[05:02] <GMWeezel> Saveas:thanks.
[05:02] <phaidros> thanx for the hints
[05:02] <buena_swerte> royel: ifconfig -a will show sit0, ipv6 enabled clients my attempt to use ipv6 lookup which is not necessary since most network are ipv4
[05:02] <Seveas> valehru, read the bugzilla documentation and find the place where you can configure th redirect
[05:02] <kuchcha> daveR: thanks
[05:02] <valehru> Seveas, thx
[05:03] <soundray> kane77: but I wouldn't be surprised if you could just copy over /etc/skel/.bashrc from a Gentoo installation into your $HOME
[05:03] <kuchcha> !fiesty
[05:03] <ubotu> The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn"), it should be released in April 2007. At the moment it is alpha. Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyReleaseSchedule - Specifications (goals): https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/feisty - Help in #ubuntu+1
[05:03] <Seveas> soundray, you can :)
[05:03] <Vilhelms> What is a good stable audio player? For some reason I have problems with Exaile, Rythmbox, and amarok :(
[05:03] <Seveas> !-fiesty
[05:03] <ubotu> fiesty is <alias> feisty - added by Mez on 2007-01-27 08:11:30
[05:03] <kane77> soundray, I might try it :D though it wasnt my gentoo, it was friend's...
[05:03] <kuchcha> Vilhelms: try beep-music-player....it works great
[05:03] <samuel> sup all
[05:03] <samuel> whats a good proxy for a home network
[05:04] <Seveas> samuel, squid
[05:04] <royel> buena_swerte: this is what I get (both nics are identical)  inet6 addr: fe80::250:bfff:feaf:1769/64 Scope:Link
[05:04] <samuel> Seveas: thanks
[05:04] <soundray> kane77: well, ask him or her for that file, and it'll show whether he or she is a *good* friend ;)
[05:04] <royel> buena_swerte: I dont see a line with "sit"
[05:05] <Vilhelms> kuchcha, Thanks for the suggestion, I'm trying it now :)
[05:05] <soundray> royel: you probably haven't used -a then
[05:05] <buena_swerte> royel: i have not looked into it much, so you may need to google ipv6 stuff..
[05:06] <kuchcha> Vilhelms: i had probs with all other players, BMP works gr8 for me...
[05:06] <Vilhelms> kuchcha, I'm trying it now... it looks neat :)
[05:07] <royel> soundray: I got the complete report, but was looking for anything showing sit or a indicator of ipv6 being enabled
[05:07] <royel> buena_swerte: I'm guessing if it is enabled, that I should disable it.
[05:08] <Vilhelms> kuchcha, Is there a way to add m4a support as well?
[05:08] <Wuilliam> all: i hae aproble when try to make partitions, plz see this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6714/

[05:09] <gioele> hello
[05:09] <cyphase> Feisty boots faster in a virtual machine than Edgy boots on a real machine
[05:10] <konrads> Hello. Is it known when a LTS is to be made?
[05:10] <soundray> !roadmap | konrads
[05:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about roadmap - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:10] <soundray> oops
[05:10] <gioele> my (plain serial) modem refuses to work with the default "Administraion -> Networking" application. It works fine with wvdial. Does anybody know why?
[05:10] <wortel> what can I do if I boot in recovery mode, and I try to sudo vim fstab but I get a permission denied to sudo?
[05:11] <konrads> soundray: checked web, nothing there
[05:11] <jrib> wortel: you don't use sudo in recovery mode, recovery mode gives you a root prompt
[05:11] <royel> back shortly
[05:11] <samuel> my ubuntu system has a hostname... but its not something that it sets in the router, ive a mac machine that sets the hostname in the router, is there any way to do that in ubuntu? i also have an archlinux machine that sets the hostname so I know you can in linux, but how?
[05:12] <cor1> !register
[05:12] <ubotu> Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[05:12] <soundray> konrads: the schedule is "every 12 to 24 months". Feisty is a normal one, but g...g... or h...h... may become LTS
[05:12] <ikonia_> samuel why would you set the ubuntu hostname in your router
[05:12] <bwlang> samuel: have a look at your dhcp client configuration - i believe what you want is an optional parameter
[05:12] <wortel> jrib: but vim and vi give me permission denied as well...
[05:12] <wortel> what basic text editor is there that i can use?
[05:13] <samuel> ikonia_:  then you can browse to http://hostname/ without the IP
[05:13] <jonathan_> is there a command that i can run that repairs things that causes programs to fail
[05:13] <konrads> soundray: there already was a hh :)
[05:13] <samuel> bwlang: thanks i will
[05:13] <jrib> wortel: it's probably another issue.  Can you cat /etc/fstab?
[05:13] <kuchcha> wortel: try nano
[05:13] <konrads> soundray: i propose "Groovy Grue" for next gg :)
[05:13] <wortel> yes i could cat
[05:13] <soundray> konrads: that was before the alphabetic scheme started

[05:14] <jrib> wortel: oh... nano then as someone suggested
[05:14] <wortel> what i was trying to do is mount a partition as /usr
[05:14] <jonathan_> is there a repair command that i can run cuz im getting a lot of my programs that are acting up
[05:15] <soundray> wortel: don't sudo when you're in recovery mode
[05:15] <calvarez> eagles051387, you should try the AOL "Fix my Problems" button
[05:15] <BankHead> yo
[05:15] <iNToIT> Hi
[05:15] <wortel> I've googled for this, but is there an easy way to mount a partition as usr so everything gets installed there instead of onto my root partition?
[05:15] <eagles> lol
[05:15] <Roey> ihatemilk:  great nick
[05:15] <eagles> im being searious cal
[05:16] <Roey> ihatemilk:  for which reasons?
[05:16] <wortel> didnt find anything particularly useful
[05:16] <LuitvD> hello
[05:16] <soundray> !fstab | wortel
[05:16] <ubotu> wortel: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions

[05:17] <LuitvD> or are all questions asked here?
[05:17] <wortel> ubotu: thanks, I know how to mount etc. problem is rather moving everything from usr to the partition before mounting it

[05:17] <wortel> :))
[05:17] <Dr_willis> !botsnack
[05:17] <soundray> wortel: mount the partition to /mnt and do 'sudo cp -a /usr/* /mnt/'
[05:17] <ubotu> Yum!
[05:18] <samuel> wortel: why in a separate partition? you would have to make all your mount points partitions since the system needs to use /etc, /usr and a host of other dirs
[05:18] <cor1> is there a program for linux to delete unnesisarry files
[05:18] <soundray> wortel: better yet, boot from a live CD and do the copying there
[05:18] <sdsff> IS WIKIPEDIA DOEN ?
[05:18] <soundray> samuel: that's wrong
[05:18] <sdsff> IS WIKIPEDIA DOWN ?
[05:18] <samuel> wortel: if thats what you want just install them all in your home dir
[05:18] <wortel> well when i formatted my HD I left a large partition open for data, with a smaller partition for root
[05:18] <Dr_willis> sdsff,  why are you yelling?
[05:19] <cor1> !yelling
[05:19] <Brismetal> anyone know if there's an easy way to migrate windows thunderbird settings and mail to linux?  I just tried copying over the folders but it doesn't seem to see it, I try import but it doesn't seem to want to import from a file, only other installed program
[05:19] <samuel> soundray: he needs /usr for the progs, /etc for the config and others depending on the programs
[05:19] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about yelling - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:19] <ikonia_> sdsff wikipedia is nothing to do with ubuntu
[05:19] <soundray> samuel: you either haven't read his request carefully, or you are confusing something.
[05:19] <Brismetal> oh, never mind, I just tried somethign else and it's working fine now :D
[05:19] <sdsff> HAS *
[05:20] <samuel> soundray: nm... my bad...
[05:20] <cor1> is there a tutorial for making a duel boot system cause i want to put it on my other PC with windows but im afraid i might screw up and then ill have to get windows put back in again
[05:20] <soundray> !dualboot
[05:20] <ubotu> Dual boot instructions:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo (x86/AMD64) - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot (Macintosh)
[05:20] <cor1> windows = monry
[05:20] <cor1> money*
[05:20] <samuel> cor1: vmware
[05:20] <soundray> cor1: ^^ and remember, data that you haven't backed up is data you don't want
[05:21] <Brismetal> corl, I've found with Ubuntu installing aslong as you're 100% sure which partition you're installing to it's all safe
[05:21] <Brismetal> just make sure 100% that you know which partition is which
[05:21] <samuel> cor1: if youve a fast machine vmware will do nicely
[05:21] <kuchcha> is there a commandline interative based torrent downloader
[05:21] <wortel> soundray: good idea (live cd)
[05:21] <cor1> so can i use vm ware and use windows too and still have sound and such on linux
[05:21] <daveR> can i install photoshop through wine?
[05:21] <ikonia_> daveR use #wine and #winehq for wine support
[05:21] <soundray> cor1: use dualboot in preference to vmware if you have the hard disk space (ca. 3 GB)
[05:21] <samuel> cor1: you need to configure vmware, but yes... only problem is graphics are not too god
[05:22] <soundray> !dualboot | cor1
[05:22] <samuel> good*
[05:22] <ubotu> cor1: Dual boot instructions:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo (x86/AMD64) - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot (Macintosh)
[05:22] <cor1> yes see but windows is partitioned to 100% of the drive
[05:22] <ikonia_>  cor1 read the instructions
[05:22] <OuZo_> hi, how can i open or convert chm files. thanks
[05:22] <ikonia_> you'll need to re-partition
[05:22] <Brismetal> or buy a new hard drive, they're pretty cheap these days
[05:22] <cfedde> there are tools that can re-organize freespace into partitions
[05:23] <samuel> yep no choice there if youve allready installed it
[05:23] <amorphous_> can anyone tell me the gui app to setup the screensaver options?
[05:23] <soundray> cor1: the Ubuntu installer can automatically resize a Windows partition to make space for ubuntu
[05:23] <eagles051387> cracker
[05:23] <ikonia_> amorphous_ its under preferences menu
[05:23] <kuchcha> is there a command-line based torrent downloader for edgy?
[05:24] <eagles051387> use azureus
[05:24] <soundray> amorphous_: gnome-screensaver-preferences
[05:24] <jrib> OuZo_: open with gnochm or xchm
[05:24] <samuel> soundray: i thought that it couldnt do it with ntfs

[05:33] <eagles051387> ive tried to install and uninstall the amarok but it still wont work
[05:33] <soundray> eagles051387: make sure you have your sound card selected (System-Preferences-Sound). Disable the esd sound server if you find such an option.
[05:33] <PiNE> jrib, yep. evince is installed (i have evince NOT evince-gtk)
[05:33] <guillem101> (a friend of mine, poor, wants to keep the XP and install a sort of linux as well)
[05:33] <soundray> eagles051387: whenever you can, configure sound applications to use ALSA (not artsd or oss).
[05:33] <jrib> PiNE: /desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/application@x-cbr gconf key here seems to show evince-thumbnailer as the thumbnailer.  Do you have that key?

[05:55] <doojin> ikoni_ : hi ... I succeeded in changing usplash, but it doesn't fill up 1024x768 screen. do you know how to fill 1024x768 screen?
[05:55] <lazrpark93> I think I've come up with a way to make passwords more secure/ harder to crack but I'm not sure if someone has already thought of this
[05:55] <IdleOne> !br | du
[05:55] <Seracht> so is GDM pretty much like the screen where you enter your username and all?
[05:55] <avidal> ugh, my ubuntu server keeps crashing on me unexpectedly.
[05:55] <ikonia_> frojnd join cedega support channels
[05:55] <slippyr4> jrib: it's shareware, i feel bad using it when i have no intention of paing
[05:55] <doojin> ikonia_ : hi ... I succeeded in changing usplash, but it doesn't fill up 1024x768 screen. do you know how to fill 1024x768 screen?
[05:55] <ikonia_> Seracht yes
[05:55] <Seracht> ikonia, is it possible to change like the bar at the top
[05:55] <ikonia_> doojin yes, its all explainined in the howto
[05:55] <jrib> slippyr4: there's a firefox plugin for irc, chatzilla I think
[05:55] <soundray> codex2: it's hard to diagnose remotely -- have you done all the checks suggested in the links?
[05:55] <ikonia_> Seracht don't know what you mean
[05:55] <PiNE> jrib, the command listed is <comicthumb %i %o %s>
[05:55] <doojin> ikonia_ : you mean the howto of ubuntu wiki?
[05:55] <Seracht> the bar that says applications, places, system
[05:56] <ikonia_> doojin yes
[05:56] <Seracht> cna I make that look prettier

[05:56] <ikonia_> sorush20 not sure if there are any

[05:56] <ubotu> File comicthumb found in comix
[05:56] <ikonia_> Peggerr shouldn't do
[05:56] <doojin> ikonia_ : It doesn't say anything about fixing resolution problem
[05:56] <sorush20> damn
[05:56] <ikonia_> doojin again - you're out of luck then
[05:57] <jrib> PiNE: is comix installed?
[05:57] <blackes1> alternatively emule has an inbuilt irc client
[05:57] <ikonia_> IdleOne sorry - that it was spanish
[05:57] <ikonia_> thought
[05:57] <doojin> ikonia_ : you said it was in the howto
[05:57] <soundray> codex2: also, ask the channel again in a couple of hours, I think the sound experts aren't around right now.
[05:57] <ikonia_> doojin it is if you read it properly
[05:57] <PiNE> jrib, yep! i love comix.
[05:57] <IdleOne> ikonia, close to spanish but suttle differences
[05:57] <blackes1> pirch is available but it is old and flawed
[05:57] <doojin> ikonia_ : can you guess any?
[05:57] <jrib> PiNE: dpkg -L comix | grep comicthumb
[05:57] <ikonia_> doojin yes, I understand why
[05:58] <Logicbox> Did i need to download as Text file?
[05:58] <codex2> soundray, ok don't worry i will try
[05:58] <doojin> ikonia_ : I want you to tell me your guess
[05:58] <ikonia_> doojin sorry no. There are two possabilities
[05:58] <doojin> ikonia_ : what possibilities?
[05:58] <ikonia_> doojin both are potentially explainied in the wiki. you may also find results searching the forums
[05:59] <Doug52392> Hi
[05:59] <PiNE> jrib, should i use <sudo> to run <dpkg -L comix | grep comicthumb>? or is it okay without?
[05:59] <lazrpark93> Would making passwords sequential (in terms of physical key strokes) make it harder to crack the  passwords? For example, you type 'pass123' hit 'Backspace' then type '3' again so now your password isn't just 'pass123' as it normally would be but now the backspace would be integrated into the password itself. Would that be plausible?
[05:59] <jrib> PiNE: no
[05:59] <ikonia_> lazrpark93 not really
[05:59] <MTecknology> If I'm running vi and left the session to edit a few lines, how do I get back into my session?
[05:59] <Logicbox> jrib: did i need to dl the text file i pasted it all in to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[05:59] <lazrpark93> ikonia_ how so?
[06:00] <jrib> Logicbox: nope, just give us the URL
[06:00] <ikonia_> lazrpark93 because it doesn't make it harder to crack
[06:00] <Doug52392> I still cant resize the partition on my hard drive for the Ubuntu install.
[06:00] <doojin> ikonia_ : I'm going to sleep soon, so I will be pleased if you just tell me the two possibilities
[06:00] <ikonia_> doojin sorry no
[06:00] <Logicbox> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6717/
[06:00] <doojin> ikonia_ : why not?
[06:00] <ikonia_> doojin because I helped you before, and found you too lazy to do anything
[06:01] <ikonia_> so I chose not to help
[06:01] <doojin> ikonia_ : come on, I'm almost succeeding
[06:01] <Doug52392> When the Ubuntu setup asks me to resize the partition, no matter what size I type, it always tells me there is
[06:01] <doojin> It is the last question as you know
[06:01] <ikonia_> doojin please stop talking to me
[06:01] <Doug52392> not enough room to install Ubuntu, and the resize failed
[06:01] <lazrpark93> ikonia_, I don't understand. Wouldn't you physically have to type it in to get the password to work?
[06:01] <doojin> ikonia_ : Are you mad at me?
[06:01] <ikonia_> lazrpark93  you wouldn't type the backspace - it would just delete a char
[06:02] <ikonia_> doojin no,not at all
[06:02] <doojin> ikonia_ : maybe you are just tired of answering to many people
[06:02] <Logicbox> jrib u see anything?
[06:02] <doojin> ikonia_ : I know repetitive works drain my energy
[06:02] <ikonia_> doojin you've just proved me point. I'm chosing not to help you because you don't listen and you're too lazy to do anything. By asking this after I've told you - you have just proved you don't listen
[06:02] <jrib> Logicbox: join me in #ubuntu-classroom please?
[06:03] <Seracht> hi quick question I downloaded a GDM theme
[06:03] <Seracht> now how do I apply it
[06:03] <doojin> ikonia_ : Whatever you think, I understand your being sick of me.
[06:03] <ikonia_> Seracht I've sent you 3 links - read them
[06:03] <ikonia_> !eyecandy >seracht
[06:03] <ikonia_> doojin please stop talking to me
[06:03] <rfschmid> I just had a problem with beryl (svn, XGL with ATI card), so I killed x and tried to log in without XGL, the panel doesn't come up and I get an infinite loop of errors saying "I've detected a panel already running, and will now exit."
[06:03] <lazrpark93> ikonia_ what if you could make the computer remember the backspace? But I guess that would introduce other risks because the computer would be looking at each character individually...
[06:03] <slippyr4> can someone say my nickname to see if i got this set up right please
[06:04] <vmlemon> slippyr4
[06:04] <ikonia_> slippyr4 hello

[06:04] <francisco> hello

[06:04] <lazrpark93> ikonia_ or is that not possible to do?
[06:04] <HymnToLife> !hi | slippyr4
[06:04] <ubotu> slippyr4: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[06:04] <MTecknology> If I'm running vi and left the session to edit a few lines, how do I get back into my session?
[06:04] <ikonia_> lazrpark93 you'd have to break your keymap
[06:04] <PiNE> jrib, for some reason i still don't have the previews,  it is stubbornly refusing to do what we ask!
[06:04] <ikonia_> lazrpark93 do "stty erase ^J"
[06:04] <ikonia_> lazrpark93 then press backspace
[06:04] <jrib> PiNE: but do you have /usr/bin/comicthumb?
[06:04] <ikonia_> and you'll see what I mean
[06:05] <PiNE> jrib, i'll check right now.
[06:05] <doojin> ikonia_ : just one more sentence, you have done good job so far. you don't have to answer me for a while
[06:05] <ikonia_> doojin I'm putting you ignore now
[06:05] <lazrpark93> ikonia_ I'll just take your word for it
[06:05] <doojin> damn..
[06:05] <ikonia_> lazrpark93 ok
[06:05] <Doug52392> I cant resize my partition to install Ubuntu
[06:05] <krateein> I'm having trouble installing Linux on my old machine. I Wiped the hard Drive of windows but when insert the CD (it is definitely burned correctly) nothing happens. I just get the message Verifying DMI Pool data ... Invalid system disk replace the disk and then press any key. Is it because i only have 64mb of RAM (I have tried using hte alternate install cd for Kubuntu but that didn't work either)
[06:05] <lazrpark93> Thanks for the feedback though
[06:05] <ikonia_> lazrpark93 not at all
[06:06] <doojin> ikonia_ must be very very sick of me because he puts me on ignore after I cheered him
[06:06] <bluffer_> i was going through the download page i see some requirment of minimum 192 mb ram for installing this is that amount of ram the minimum required ? ( i have w2k running on vpc with 32 mb ram) and i want to know if i can install this to vpc with say a maximum of 48 mb allocation to vm ?
[06:06] <slippyr4> !hi | slippyr4
[06:06] <doojin> maybe personally sick of me
[06:06] <ikonia_> bluffer_ 192 is best
[06:06] <bluffer_> whats worst ?
[06:06] <ikonia_> bluffer_ the installer is a full X session with tools
[06:07] <ikonia_> bluffer_ I wouldn't try to drop bellow 128 - but ubuntu recommends 192 for a reason
[06:07] <PiNE> jrib, no i don't have comicthumb in /usr/bin.
[06:07] <amorphous_> ikonia, soundray : Sorry gents - i got cut off.  i can't find either - in apt-cache or under preferences
[06:07] <amorphous_> anyone else
[06:07] <jrib> PiNE: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[06:07] <PiNE> jrib, edgy
[06:07] <jrib> PiNE: reinstall comix
[06:07] <ikonia_> amorphous_ forgot your question, sorry
[06:08] <bluffer_> my host has 128 mb ram :( so no point downloading this you say ?
[06:08] <PiNE> jrib, okay.
[06:08] <amorphous_> ikonia, i'm using ssh - so menu's are a bit difficult
[06:08] <ikonia_> bluffer_ you may get away with it
[06:08] <ikonia_> amorphous_ what menu's - sorry I can't remember the problem
[06:08] <screechingcat> anyone know how to turn of the "snap to edge" feature in KDE ?
[06:08] <amorphous_> ikonia - looking to find the name for the screensaver settings app
[06:08] <ikonia_> amorphous_ your trying to change it in a terminal ?
[06:08] <amorphous_> sorry ikonia a bit slow with me typing
[06:08] <jrib> PiNE: see, it's supposed to be there: http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=comicthumb&searchmode=searchfiles&case=insensitive&version=edgy&arch=i386
[06:08] <ikonia_> amorphous_ don't worry - speed isn't required
[06:08] <screechingcat> i want windows to remember their positions on the screen
[06:08] <neuro_> krateein: do you have any other CDs you can try and boot from?
[06:09] <neuro_> krateein: i.e. a cover disc from a magazine or another OS you've burned?
[06:09] <amorphous_> yeahv-vbut i have X through the term - just cant run full xserver session
[06:09] <charl_ie> amorphous_: gnome-screensaver-preferences
[06:09] <krateein> neuro_ : I don't think so. I have an old windows 95 but i dunno if that works or not
[06:09] <ikonia_> amorphous_ I'd wait until you are on 0:0 rather than a remove session
[06:09] <neuro_> krateein: because it sounds like your machine won't boot from CD; the "replace disk and then ..." error is usually associated with floppy disks
[06:10] <amorphous_> charl_ie, tried it - doesnt seem to work & cant apt-get it?!?!
[06:10] <krateein> neuro_: hmm, is there another way? cna i make it boot from the CDRom
[06:10] <bluffer_> so will this installer do cfdisk too ? or should i have a preformatted swap and ext2 partitions ?
[06:10] <tabas> a
[06:10] <krateein> neuro_: why woudl i have the option to boot from CDROM in the BIOS if i can't, strnage
[06:10] <Doug52392> I cant resize the parititon on my hard drive during the Ubuntu installation
[06:10] <neuro_> krateein: bootmgr.sf.net iirc
[06:10] <tabas> ola
[06:10] <ikonia_> bluffer_ it will partition along the way
[06:10] <neuro_> krateein: i don't know because i don't know your machine's precise config :)
[06:10] <amorphous_> ikonia, it's not in the gnome menu's there either... nor here
[06:10] <neuro_> krateein: (and that's not an invite to list it now!) ;)
[06:10] <Yasuo> hi
[06:11] <ikonia_> amorphous_ have you got it installed ?
[06:11] <tabas> gilipollas
[06:11] <Yasuo> wich dvdprogram does rip DVDs by playing them?
[06:11] <ikonia_> !dvd >yasuo
[06:11] <Yasuo> with ripper programs i get read errors
[06:11] <Yasuo> !dvd
[06:11] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[06:11] <leonor> hi, im having problems installing a nvidia controller
[06:11] <tabas> pringaos
[06:11] <ikonia_> leonor what sort of problems
[06:11] <Yasuo> i need a program fpr ripping dvds by watching em
[06:12] <ikonia_> Yasuo the wiki has a guide
[06:12] <tabas> Leonor tonta
[06:12] <amorphous_> ikonia, i have default gnome-desktop-environment - and i've tried to apt-get gnome-screensaver-preferences... no joy - doesnt seem to exist?
[06:12] <ikonia_> amorphous_ install it
[06:12] <Yasuo> just need that programms name
[06:12] <amorphous_> what's it called?
[06:12] <Doug52392> Hi, I have a problom with the Ubuntu install.
[06:12] <ikonia_> Yasuo the wiki has a guide
[06:12] <leonor> ikonia_ ive installed nvidia-glx, the module loads but when i start x it says unable to open screen
[06:12] <ikonia_> Doug52392 if you have no space - you can't resize
[06:12] <PiNE_> jrib, thanks for taking the time to help me with this.  it probably seems rather menial but i love ubuntu for being able to do stuff like icon previews.
[06:12] <ikonia_> leonor !nvidia>leonor
[06:13] <ikonia_> !nvidia >leonor
[06:13] <meisam> hi how can i put jdbc on path ?
[06:13] <tabas> ke sois tontos
[06:13] <jrib> PiNE_: that's ok, once you get comicthumb installed, delete the failed thumbnails and press reload in nautilus:  rm -rf ~/.thumbnails/fail/
[06:13] <leonor> ikonia_ what?
[06:13] <ikonia_> meisam PATH=$PATH:/some/new/path
[06:13] <ikonia_> !nvidia
[06:13] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:13] <Yasuo> there is only a dvd::rip guide imho
[06:13] <ikonia_> leonor follow that guide
[06:13] <ikonia_> Yasuo which tells you the app names
[06:13] <Yasuo> yes "dvd::rip" and "transcode"?
[06:14] <ikonia_> Yasuo there you go
[06:14] <ikonia_> there are two app names
[06:14] <nomasteryoda> then the answer you have
[06:14] <meisam> ikonia_ would u tell me what u exactly mean, i got it somehow
[06:14] <nomasteryoda> http://straps4linux.blogspot.com/2006/11/script-dvd2xvidsh.html
[06:14] <nomasteryoda> this also works
[06:14] <ikonia_> meisam you got what
[06:14] <meisam> ikonia_ i mean i did not understand fully, but i got the whole idea
[06:14] <tabas> chuparme un cojon
[06:14] <Yasuo> well, as i said i need a programm wich is not RIPping the DDV, but catching the stream by playing it to override READ ERRORs
[06:14] <ikonia_> meisam what idea ?
[06:15] <Doug52392> Hi, I cant resize the partition on my hard drive during the Ubuntu installation.
[06:15] <ikonia_> Yasuo the rip guide will tell you which app does that
[06:15] <tabas> tu puta madre
[06:15] <ikonia_> Doug52392 I've told you - if you have no space on the disk you can't resize
[06:15] <meisam> ikonia_ nothin nothin..would u tell me what does some/new/path mean?
[06:15] <ikonia_> meisam path to jdbc
[06:15] <Yasuo> there is only a wiki for dvd::rip afaik
[06:16] <PiNE_> jrib, comicthumb didn't install after the reinstall of comix.
[06:16] <Doug52392> it is a 37 Gb disk with 25.4 Gb free
[06:16] <Tzadok> hey everybody
[06:16] <Yasuo> i dont need dvd::rip
[06:16] <jrib> PiNE_: apt-cache policy comix
[06:16] <stack_> I installed the 2.6.17-11-server kernel and now my server kernel panics at boot... anyone else experiencing this?  I can boot into 2.6.17-10-server fine
[06:16] <ikonia_> Yasuo but part of the rip process will catch the stream
[06:16] <hairulfr> Hey all, I have a problem with a icon them. It's this cool glassy theme, but the icon won't work on the thrash can, it's the same old boring one - anyone know what I can do?
[06:16] <bluffer_> so one last question is this torrent ok i took this url from the downlaod page ? http://releases.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent
[06:16] <ikonia_> hairulfr the theme may not contain a trash can icon
[06:16] <hairulfr> ikonia: It does, I checked :)
[06:16] <slippyr4> bluffer_ its fine
[06:17] <meisam> ikonia_ for example:  PATH=$PATH:/home/meisam/packages and utils/mysql-connector-java-3.1.14/mysql-connector-java-3.1.14-bin.jar  is this right?
[06:17] <ikonia_> bluffer_ its made by ubuntu - so yes
[06:17] <Yasuo> ikonia, no, dvd::rip does RIP the dvd before encoding wich will fail ebcauser of read errors
[06:17] <Tzadok> hey, im a newb, and i need some help making grub boot the same ubuntu, with different kernels
[06:17] <ikonia_> meisam no - you want CLASSPATH for that
[06:17] <slippyr4> bluffer_ if in doubt, md5sum it after it's finished
[06:17] <richard_> I have a very strange sound bug, my headphone jack (laptop) doesn't work until after I sleep/hibernate
[06:17] <ikonia_> Tzadok when you install the kernels, ubuntu updates grub for you
[06:17] <Tzadok> really?
[06:17] <ikonia_> Tzadok yes
[06:17] <GMWeezel> Is there a program that will automatically create file links for files that are identical such as maybe they both have the same MD5 checksum.
[06:17] <stack_> My previous dmesg shows an error "Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000000000024 "
[06:17] <ikonia_> GMWeezel no
[06:18] <meisam> ikonia_ i want to use it for connecting to java
[06:18] <lazer350> salut ici
[06:18] <jrib> PiNE_: ah, wait a second, see: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/comix/+bug/75707
[06:18] <ikonia_> meisam yes, I know - you want CLASSPATH
[06:18] <GMWeezel> iknoia_: Ah that blows; thanks.
[06:18] <slippyr4> Tzadok : but only if you do kernels the ubuntu / debian way (ie not a manual compile from vanilla (kernel.org) sources
[06:18] <lazer350> une personne parle francais ?
[06:18] <Tzadok> see cause wat im going to do is install ubuntu on a portable hd then have grub have kernels for x86, mac, and 64bit
[06:18] <ikonia_> meisam the connectors are java classes
[06:18] <Agrajag> !fr
[06:18] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[06:18] <riotkittie> !fr | lazer350
[06:18] <ubotu> lazer350: please see above
[06:18] <Tzadok> so then i can boot it on whatever pc i come too
[06:18] <ikonia_> Tzadok that would be unwise
[06:18] <hairulfr> ikonia: Could I just copy it and put it on top of the of the old icon?
[06:18] <meisam> ikonia_ ok what should i do would u give me the exact path or what ever
[06:18] <meisam> ikonia_ im confuesd
[06:18] <slippyr4> lazer350, oui, un peu - mais il y a un channel en francais
[06:18] <DogWater> Anyone know off hand if it is possible to use Dell inspiron 6400 wireless on ubuntu?
[06:19] <slippyr4> !fr | lazer350
[06:19] <ikonia_> meisam you need to learn how java works before starting to program in it
[06:19] <ubotu> lazer350: please see above
[06:19] <lazer350> je peut avoir le lien du salon fr svp ?
[06:19] <bluffer_> thanks ikonia and slippyr4 cya in a few days time its now at 2.2 % at 10 kbps :)
[06:19] <DogWater> i set it up in X but if i do an ifconfig it doesnt show the wifi connection
[06:19] <Tzadok> ikonia why would that be unwise?
[06:19] <ikonia_> bluffer_ enjoy
[06:19] <ikonia_> Tzadok because ubuntu installs are not meant to "float around" and you're talking about installing different archs
[06:19] <amorphous_> ikonia,  what's it called? (it doesn't appear to be gnome-screensaver-preferences :(
[06:19] <meisam> ikonia_ i know how it works, for connecting it to the database i need the driver connector j (mysql)
[06:19] <jrib> PiNE_: so I guess you'd have to rebuild the package yourself.  In feisty evince-thumbnailer handles thumbnails for cbr.  You can try running evince-thumbnailer on a cbr file and seeing if it works.  If it does then you can get away with this as your command in gconf:  evince-thumbnailer -s %s %u %o
[06:19] <ikonia_> meisam if you know how java works - you should know CLASSPATH, thats basic
[06:19] <DogWater> also, is there a way to get ubuntu to show you a list of the broadcasted ssids in your area instead of having to type in a network name?
[06:19] <slippyr4> bluffer_ you might find you'll get it quicker from a local mirror rather than a torrent. torrents work well for pirate movies but no so well for free software - people don't bother seeding so much
[06:20] <ikonia_> amorphous_ no idea off the top of my head
[06:20] <angelzuja> ola
[06:20] <ikonia_> DogWater it will do if the ssids are broadcast
[06:20] <PiNE_> jrib, ah. well that explains everything.  thanks again, i'll give the evince-th** a try.
[06:20] <bluffer_> i chose bittorrent aasumming i can stop it and start it over several days and grab it piece by piece ?
[06:20] <meisam> ikonia_ friend listen up please..it is not a matter of argueeing..i need to make a path for jdbc for the java to make it to know where it is
[06:21] <ikonia_> meisam and I've told you 2 times - you need to set your CLASSPATH correctly
[06:21] <bluffer_> never leeched stuff much so is that assumption wrong ?
[06:21] <angelzuja> tonto
[06:21] <riotkittie> bluffer_: no, you are correct.
[06:21] <Xenguy> bluffer_: you can stop and continue
[06:21] <slippyr4> bluffer_ if you're happy with the speed you're fine - i just gave you an alternative that's all
[06:21] <DogWater> ikonia: where can I see the broadcast SSIDs then? because if i go into system -> administration -> network it just asks me to type in stuff
[06:22] <DogWater> actually, how do i find out if it even detects my wifi card properly?
[06:22] <ikonia_> DogWater looks like the ssids are nto being broadcast
[06:22] <meisam> ikonia_ export set CLASSPATH=/path/mysql-connector-java-[ver] -bin.jar:$CLASSPATH something like this
[06:22] <lazer350> please give me the lien UBUNTU FR
[06:22] <ikonia_> meisam please don't talk to me any more
[06:22] <DogWater> ikonia_ if i boot the very same laptop into windows xp it finds the 3 SSIDs that are being broadcast
[06:22] <slippyr4> lazer350: #ubuntu-fr
[06:22] <lazer350> thc
[06:22] <ikonia_> DogWater possibly your card isn't working
[06:22] <ikonia_> under ubuntu
[06:22] <disasm> how can I make the system wide default e-mail client thunderbird? I have approximately 150 users, and they all want to be able to click links in firefox and get thunderbird to open the e-mail
[06:22] <DogWater> any idea how to find out if it is/isnt?
[06:22] <slippyr4> lazer350 : j'ai deja dit ceci
[06:22] <DogWater> its a dell inspiron 6400 built in card
[06:22] <ikonia_> DogWater do an iwconfig on it
[06:23] <meisam> ikonia_ atleast tell me in .bashrc ? or soewhere else?
[06:23] <mindstate> anyone running IE for linux? and if so..anyone know how i can stop IE from flickering?
[06:23] <ikonia_> meisam last request. Please don't speak to me any more
[06:23] <meisam> ikonia_ give me the correct format of classpath
[06:23] <ikonia_> mindstate didn't know IE was still available
[06:23] <kazim59> hello
[06:23] <mijenix> how I can start the vncserver before someone logged in?
[06:23] <ikonia_> mijenix put it in an init script
[06:23] <mindstate> ikonia, check www.psychocats.net they have a nice tutorial on how-to install
[06:24] <ikonia_> mindstate not for me thansk
[06:24] <mijenix> ikonia_: is there a userfriendlier way?
[06:24] <kazim59> my gdm is responding very bad recently... after login screen it shows blank desktop (with the background loaded) and waits for about 3-4 minutes and then shows the menus & icons!!
[06:24] <guillem101> ikonia, he is using wine (or crossover) to run actual IE
[06:24] <mindstate> ikonia, i've got my reasons for wanting to use IE
[06:24] <ikonia_> mijenix that should be quite straight forward
[06:24] <mijenix> ikonia_: or a howto?
[06:24] <mindstate> guillem101, yes i am
[06:24] <ikonia_> mindstate I didn't say you didn't
[06:24] <DogWater> ikonia_ eth1 ieee80211b/g essid: "" broadcom 4311" mode managed access point invalid
[06:24] <ikonia_> mijenix research the init scripts - then you can just add a vnc start up to a new one
[06:24] <mindstate> ikonia, im just saying i do :p
[06:24] <mindstate> lol
[06:24] <ikonia_> DogWater there you go
[06:25] <mindstate> the flickering is very annoying though
[06:25] <bauer77> DogWater: Why do you need your SSIDS broadcasted anyways...
[06:25] <disasm> mindstate: do a search on xdmcp vnc logins, that's probably your best solution
[06:25] <robbiev> how come when naming Dapper Drake and Edgy Eft, and animal name with the letter C was skipped?
[06:25] <amorphous_> does anyone else know the name of the screensaver preference setting app?
[06:25] <kazim59> what wrong is going with my ubuntu?
[06:25] <guillem101> mindstate, not using wine et al... but other wine apps do flicker as well or it is just IE?
[06:25] <DogWater> baur77: at school they have diff access points for each area and i dont know the names of all of them =/ sorry
[06:26] <mindstate> guillem101, uTorrent flickers a lil..but not as much as IE does
[06:26] <bauer77> DogWater:  just asking :-)
[06:26] <Belboz99> Hey all, I seem to have lost audio over the whole OS, restarting ALSA does not work, nor does rebooting, any ideas?
[06:26] <DogWater> does anyone know how to get it to work since it does apparently see the card?
[06:26] <guillem101> mindstate, but IE uses a big window and I guess uTorrent does not....
[06:26] <Belboz99> Also, when I attempt to start esd it seems to hang
[06:27] <mindstate> guillem101, yes youre right, i thought there might be a way to fix the flicker though
[06:27] <bauer77> DogWater: when you go to network it does not show your wireless card there?
[06:27] <guillem101> mindstate, you are using beryl?
[06:27] <bluffer_> speed i dont know i would love to have 200kbps but never had any downlaod that went > 10 kbps at worst 3 kbps so i ve been accustomed to wait :) is this a better option that bugging some one with a fast internet to wget there and then lxsplit it to 10 mb bits downlaod all parts over a few days and hjjoin it isnt it ?
[06:27] <mindstate> guillem101, no im not
[06:28] <bauer77> wb pbureau
[06:28] <pbureau> hey guys
[06:28] <guillem101> mindstate, ok, there is a wine related option at beryl. I cannot help you... sorry
[06:28] <Yodude> hey i want soe Ubuntu buttons or banners for my blog where i can i get some?
[06:28] <mindstate> guillem101, thanks its alright, i guess ill have to deal with it
[06:29] <DogWater> bauer77: it shows up as eth1 in the little taskbar monitor thing and in networking it shows wireless connection but it wont find any of the ssids that are being broadcast
[06:29] <guillem101> mindstate, perhaps it would be a good idea to go to wine channel and ask if wine requires some X11 setup to avoid flicker
[06:29] <mindstate> guillem101, thats a good idea, thanks
[06:29] <laban__> Installed ati drivers from Synaptic.. And firegl.. But when i try to open the control panel it says "Driver does not provide the FireGL X11 Extension" How can i fix this.. 1024*768 is not really my thing >(
[06:29] <DogWater> is there a way to make it give me a list of nearby ssid's
[06:29] <DogWater> ?
[06:29] <DogWater> im not really familiar with linux wifi networking

[06:30] <t0taln00b> hi
[06:30] <Yodude> so where can i get some buttons?
[06:30] <guillem101> mindstate, as user of xmgr, I require  Option "BackingStore" "true" under "Device" at xorg.conf
[06:30] <guillem101> mindstate, it flickers otherwise since it relies the Xserver can back-store
[06:30] <Logicbox> iam just going to format and start over
[06:31] <NET||abuse> Hi all, can anyone tell me why my laptop would be dog slow when i plug into certain routers(just little 4 port dsl router) when the other 2 machines have no bother at all

[06:34] <zenmonk> hi, quick question.  I just deleted 15GB of crap in the TEMP folder under windows, is there a similar thing to watch out for in Linux?
[06:34] <slippyr4> net||abuse you could find an IP you're 100% certain is clear and just ifconfig to that IP as a temporary test to see if this really is the cause
[06:34] <Yodude> jrib: thnkx, gonna spread the word!
[06:34] <mindstate> wow @ 15gb in a temp folder
[06:34] <ubuntu_> am karino from rwanda

[06:36] <Belboz99> or is it any cable?
[06:36] <ubuntu_> parhaps
[06:36] <robbiev> ubuntu_, just a little advise... Quit IRC, turn off the computer and walk that scary place where the large illuminated globe rules.
[06:36] <bauer77> DogWater: I dont believe so, and if there is I havent found it, maybe there is a package out there somewhere though
[06:37] <earthian> hello, can somebody help me recover a corruped filesystem? seems that superblocks are no longer accesible...
[06:37] <faisal> hi guys
[06:37] <NET||abuse> Belboz99, umm, how'd i check the cables other than visually?
[06:37] <Belboz99> lol, I met my Fiance in a Linux class :-D
[06:37] <faisal> ne one here dat can help me out wid ubuntu
[06:37] <bauer77> DogWater: I tend to learn things the hard way before I find the easy way..hehe

[06:37] <slippyr4> faisal: speak properly please

[06:37] <faisal> lol sorry
[06:37] <slippyr4> faisal: this channel is in english not twattish
[06:37] <faisal> i've just done the ubuntu updates
[06:38] <angelzuja> tonto
[06:38] <faisal> and in my grub menu i have different versions of ubuntu
[06:38] <Belboz99> NET||abuse: make sure there's no kinks, and are these homemade or store-bought cables?
[06:38] <faisal> how can i get rid of the older versions of ubuntu??
[06:39] <parmenides> My system is stuck in a loop at the log in screen... I can log in console but no x session it says refcount is 2 and should be 1
[06:39] <disasm> faisal: an upgrade upgrades all packages, the older one doesn't exist
[06:39] <rita> hola
[06:39] <disasm> faisal: unless your talking about kernels in grub...
[06:39] <mahound> hello
[06:39] <NET||abuse> Belboz99, normal cat5 from the package the dsl modem was in.
[06:39] <mahound> ekiga works very badly with ubuntu, here
[06:39] <mahound> i hear lots of glitches
[06:39] <mindstate> parmenides, try reinstalling X maybe?
[06:39] <Belboz99> NET||abuse:  you might also want to test it out with a different NIC, sometimes NIC's go bad
[06:39] <hd770> he's probably talking about the kernels
[06:39] <hd770> you can remove them by editing the grub.conf I guess, but I don't see much point
[06:40] <parmenides> it works under the root account, not the user
[06:40] <pigor> hello.
[06:40] <angelzuja> toto
[06:40] <hd770> unless you just want to clean them up
[06:40] <laban__> Installed ati drivers from Synaptic.. And firegl.. But when i try to open the control panel it says "Driver does not provide the FireGL X11 Extension" How can i fix this.. 1024*768 is not really my thing >(
[06:40] <NET||abuse> Belboz99, i had this problem on this laptop on this same dsl modem /j router before,
[06:40] <Belboz99> they especially go bad when you don't have a UPS protecting your network peripherals ;)
[06:40] <mindstate> parmenides, wow.. i dunno dude someone here should be able to help though
[06:40] <NET||abuse> Belboz99, but plugging into other networks just like it at my house, or my parents, no problems
[06:40] <Belboz99> then it might be the modem / router
[06:40] <slippyr4> faisal: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst  - near the bottom you will see sections, one block for each kernel - remove the ones you don't need
[06:40] <NET||abuse> there is another network i had this problem at before though, at my bosses house
[06:41] <Belboz99> if that modem / router wasn't on a UPS, it may have gotten some bad power and become faulty
[06:41] <pigor> is it possible to burn a cd so that it has a linux like filesystem (ext2, ..) ?
[06:41] <root> quick question about proftp... i have created a user that i want to be the default ftp user... what group does it have to be apart of to login with ftp?
[06:41] <root> the username doesn't have access to login with a shell
[06:41] <slippyr4> net||abuse : i saw a similar think with an old dlink nic years ago - performance was awful in some switches, but not others. however i never figured out why, so me telling you this is not particularly interesting or useful.
[06:42] <mahound> anyone has any clue?
[06:42] <faisal> thanx slippyr4
[06:42] <Belboz99> anyone here want to help me troubleshoot my audio?
[06:42] <mahound> the sound in ekiga gets really horrible
[06:42] <josh_> what is the ftp group number? 502?
[06:42] <slippyr4> faisal: be very careful - if you remove your current kernel you'll make a whole lot of boot troubles. also, make sure you leave your current recovery kernel (beneath your current one)
[06:42] <NET||abuse> slippyr4, thanks anyway :)

[06:43] <geeksauce> what all needs to be installed to have this box set up as mainly a file server?  will samba suffice?

[06:43] <Dr_willis> geeksauce,  for a 'smb/samba' file server - basicially yes.. ssh is also good to get going.
[06:44] <elyon225> Could someone please help me get my sound back?  I followed a tutorial on Crosstalk to compile/install Amarok with MTP support and now I have no sound whatsoever...
[06:44] <mahound> bauer77, PCMU/H261
[06:45] <nikosapi> elyon225: MTP support has nothing to do with sound ...
[06:45] <elyon225> nikosapi: I didn't say it did.... but following that tutorial caused my sound to stop working.
[06:45] <nikosapi> ohh, can I see the tutorial?
[06:45] <geeksauce> Dr_willis, most of the other machines accessing the files are (unfortunately) running XP pro.  my laptop runs OSX so ssh would be good there.  can i remotely administer ther server via ssh?
[06:45] <elyon225> nikosapi: It had me install a LOT of KDE packages... don't know if that could have caused it.
[06:45] <elyon225> nikosapi: Yeah... one sec.

[06:46] <Dr_willis> geeksauce,  with winscp you could access all the files with just ssh..  samba is good for shareing directories, and has lots of neat features and is proberly what you want however.
[06:46] <GMWeezel> Where is the file that saves the size of stretched icons on the desktop? Whenever I try to stretch them, I can never get them the exact same size.

[06:50] <elyon225> nikosapi: Still no sound, though
[06:50] <juggernaut> Dr_willis, that's what i'm trying to do now.
[06:50] <nikosapi> elyon225: really?
[06:51] <elyon225> nikosapi: Yep.
[06:51] <nikosapi> elyon225: Try ps -A | grep -i arts again just to make sure
[06:51] <parmenides> My system is stuck in a loop at the log in screen... I can log in console but no x session it says refcount is 2 and should be 1
[06:51] <litheum> daaaamn iiiit
[06:51] <elyon225> nikosapi: No output that time.
[06:51] <juggernaut> Dr_willis, i have the drivers installed, but i have a feeling that i may have to set it do a different hertz level for the second monitor.
[06:51] <nikosapi> elyon225: good, what are you using to test sound output?
[06:51] <zbadone> should I have installed cups-pdf of the server machine or just the client machines?
[06:52] <elyon225> nikosapi: I used Amarok and a game.
[06:52] <nikosapi> elyon225: k, don't use amarok for now do you have mplayer installed?
[06:52] <horrendus01> Hey anyone in here willing to help out a new Ubuntu user?
[06:53] <elyon225> nikosapi: No, I don't use it.
[06:53] <elyon225> nikosapi: But playing a video in Totem produced no sound either.
[06:53] <Dr_willis> juggernaut,  no idea there.. thats possible
[06:53] <juggernaut> Dr_willis, thanks though!
[06:54] <kane77> does gaim announce when messages has not been sent (due to connection problems)?? I have sent a few messages and I'm not sure if he got it...
[06:54] <nikosapi> elyon225: do you have any command line audio player? mplayer can be very verbose which is noce when diagnosing these kinds of problems
[06:54] <DogWater> bauer77: ack the last line in dmesg says it doesnt have the firmware for my wifi card
[06:54] <elyon225> nikosapi: I don't have any command line players unless they're installed by default.
[06:55] <elyon225> nikosapi: But throughout the entire tutorial (and consequent testing), I've received no errors at all.
[06:55] <meisam> sorry does anybody know how to make jdbc in to be in classpath
[06:55] <nikosapi> elyon225: Could you install mplayer or mpg123?
[06:55] <meisam> sorry does anybody know how to make jdbc to be in classpath
[06:56] <nikosapi> elyon225: apt-get install mplayer (or mpg123)
[06:56] <Crescendo_> If I delete a symbolic link, does it delete the original items
[06:56] <Dr_willis> export CLASSPATH="whatever" perhaps..
[06:56] <Dr_willis> Crescendo,  no it does not.
[06:56] <Dr_willis> Crescendo,  that would limit their usefullness a great deal. :)
[06:57] <elyon225> nikosapi: Okay... done.
[06:57] <madhenry> Hey guys
[06:57] <madhenry> I have a problem with my resolution
[06:57] <madhenry> I can send a screenshot of my problem
[06:57] <nikosapi> elyon225: now try out mplayer: mplayer /path/to/song.mp3
[06:58] <madhenry> who can help me?
[06:58] <G0ttsche> hello
[06:58] <horrendus01> Hey, does Ubuntu have compatibility issues with the Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX video card?
[06:58] <HymnToLife> horrendus01, no, you just need to install the drivers from nvidia.com, not the ones from the repos
[06:58] <alvint> help! no sound in feisty! it worked fine with dapper. can anyone help?
[06:58] <madhenry>  /msg nickserv set unfiltered on
[06:59] <HymnToLife> alvint, support for Feisty in #ubntu+1 please
[06:59] <alvint> oh, ok
[06:59] <elyon225> mikl: Hmm... it seems to be playing it fine... no errors (but no sound either)
[06:59] <madhenry> Hey, I can't set 1280x800 with my ATI mobility X700
[06:59] <Bnirkow> hello
[06:59] <horrendus01> well i tried to run the LiveCd so that I could install it on my computer, but when it starts to boot up, it gives me an error saying that it could not start the X Server
[07:00] <horrendus01> by reason that it cannot find any screens
[07:00] <horrendus01> is that a driver issue?
[07:00] <nikosapi> elyon225: stupid question, is the volume up? Use alsamixer to check
[07:00] <Bnirkow> i have installed edgy alternate cd, and i have problem with boot
[07:00] <madhenry> Hey, I can't set 1280x800 with my ATI mobility X70
[07:00] <Flannel> Bnirkow: what's the problem
[07:00] <elyon225> nikosapi: Trust me, I've checked it MANY times just so I don't look like a moron ;)  Yes, it's up and unmuted.
[07:00] <horrendus01> After the error message, it boots me to the Black screen
[07:00] <madhenry> Hey, I can't set 1280x800 with my ATI mobility X700

[07:01] <Bnirkow> edgy stops even i add "acpi=off" and or "noapic"
[07:01] <krateein> does anyone know how to configure bootmgr so i can install Linux from a CD? is it even possible considering i don't think i can normally boot from CDROM
[07:01] <Flannel> !fixres | madhenry

[07:01] <nikosapi> elyon225: I'm stumped, have you "Tried turning it off and on again"?
[07:02] <madhenry> I have a problem.. my desktop is "repeating" when I change my resolution to 1280x800
[07:02] <youkilldkennedy> For some reason my external hard-drive is read-only. Why is this, and how do I fix it? Thanks.
[07:03] <geeksauce> gah... i reinstalled ubuntu and it didn't mount my NTFS HDD
[07:03] <G0ttsche> Is anyone having problems with "sudo apt-get update" after putting the repositories for Beryl?
[07:03] <oxigen> hey, gleesond did i talk with you about smartctl?
[07:03] <rb007> does anyone know what could be slowing my Internet connection down?  It's only in Ubuntu -- not Windows machines on the same network.  New installation of Dapper
[07:03] <Flannel> G0ttsche: beryl support in #ubuntu-effects
[07:03] <Mattias> how do i enable ntfs support in ubuntu?
[07:03] <elyon225> nikosapi: I've rebooted a few times, yes.
[07:03] <geeksauce> how do i mount that drive?

[07:04] <faisal> exir
[07:04] <krateein> does anyone know how to configure bootmgr so i can install Linux from a CD? is it even possible considering i don't think i can normally boot from CDROM
[07:04] <dyrne> youkilldkennedy: even if you use sudo for root privleges? if you formatted it in xp it might be ntfs which is read only by default.
[07:04] <litheum> holy mercy, why would i have two sets of kernel modules and two kernels listed in dpkg --get-selections ?
[07:05] <horrendus01> The problem isn't with errestarting the X window system, as itwon't start to begin with.  Ubuntu gives me an error message telling me that the X window system is not configured properly and I must configure it correctly before I attempt to restart it, but as it was being booted from the LiveCD It should have been configured fine
[07:05] <youkilldkennedy> dyrne: Hmm, I want to be able to change Mp3 tags. How would I do that in sudo?
[07:05] <elyon225> nikosapi: What do you mean?  I only have one sound card installed.
[07:05] <Flannel> litheum: two versions?  two arches (386 and 686 perhaps?)
[07:05] <nikosapi> elyon225: Ok, Try: cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp (warning, if this works it'll make a lot of noise)
[07:06] <dyrne> rb007: also maybe cat /etc/resolv.conf  it should only say nameserver 192.XXXXX  if you are like most home users and have a router your connecting to
[07:06] <geeksauce> anyone?  help with mounting an NTFS formatted HDD?
[07:06] <youkilldkennedy> dyrne: Am I going to have to reformat the hardrive?
[07:06] <litheum> Flannel: don't think so... i just see both "linux-image-2.6.17-10-generic" and "linux-image-2.6.17-11-generic" listed, and also duplicated for headers, restricted-modules, etc
[07:06] <litheum> Flannel: any idea how i would check the arch of these?
[07:06] <dyrne> youkilldkennedy: probably not
[07:06] <Flannel> litheum: er, theyre' the generic ones.  And, thats two versions, -10 and -11
[07:06] <elyon225> nikosapi: Nothing...
[07:06] <dyrne> youkilldkennedy: what app are you using to edit the tags?
[07:07] <litheum> Flannel: right, two versions
[07:07] <nikosapi> elyon225: Error message or no sound?
[07:07] <youkilldkennedy> dyrne: Ex Falso
[07:07] <litheum> Flannel: seems like i would not legitimately need both of these?
[07:07] <elyon225> nikosapi: Neither.
[07:07] <litheum> Flannel: and this might be contributing to my inability to boot my system somehow?
[07:07] <Flannel> litheum: no, that won't be contributing at all.  You're only using one at a time.
[07:07] <litheum> Flannel: ok
[07:07] <Flannel> litheum: when booting, at GRUB, you get a choice of kernels
[07:08] <litheum> Flannel: yea
[07:08] <youkilldkennedy> dyrne: I tried running it with 'sudo exfalso' but it still will not let me edit tags.
[07:08] <litheum> Flannel: when i choose the 2.6.17-10 kernel,  my system won't boot. i just see tons of "modprobe: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
[07:08] <nikosapi> elyon225: I really don't know what would be "muting" your sound output, but try googling for your driver and this problem, sorry...
[07:09] <elyon225> nikosapi: I tried all that last night, posted in the forums, and now I'm here :)
[07:09] <geeksauce> how do i mount a volume?
[07:09] <dyrne> youkilldkennedy: type 'mount'  in the terminal if it says the external drive is ntfs:

[07:10] <DogWater> anyone know how to extract files out of an exe?
[07:10] <rick_> hi. can someone help me? i wanted to install a printer. but whenever i go to > applications > settings > printers, the program just loads then dissapears....
[07:10] <youkilldkennedy> dyrne: It is NTSF. Thanks for you help, I appreciate it.
[07:10] <dyrne> youkilldkennedy: if you dont have any files that are several gigs a piece. you might consider  copying the contents to the internal hd then formatting fat32 then copying back
[07:10] <dyrne> youkilldkennedy: np
[07:11] <youkilldkennedy> dyrne: You mean like a 4.16 gb ISO of Oblivion... yerr got one of those ><
[07:11] <youkilldkennedy> dyrne: Thats why I'm glad you showed me a way without formatting ^^
[07:12] <horrendus01> okay well since nobody has any other suggestions for me I'm going to go look it up somewhere else
[07:12] <horrendus01> take it easy
[07:13] <wezzla> newbie warning. how do i log in as root from a terminal?
[07:13] <dyrne> youkilldkennedy: heh yeah your right on limit of 4G for fat32
[07:13] <rick_> wezzla, i think you just type "sudo -s"
[07:13] <litheum> Flannel: any idea on the above error? :/
[07:14] <afflux> wezzla: it is not recommended to login as root. you can execute commands as root by using "sudo <command>", this should be enough, you should never need to use the root terminal.

[07:18] <NET||abuse> slippyr4, got the reason behind the sluggish browsing.. dns lookup was delaying by a mijle
[07:18] <sync_> hey i got a question... alot of webpages i visit require me to have the windows media plugin, but there is none for linux... is there anyway to view these?

[07:19] <lee___> its stuck on this screen http://www.communitymx.com/content/source/B462B/prepare_disk_space.jpg
[07:19] <geeksauce> royel: which file do i need to add that line to in order for it to mount on boot?
[07:19] <Dr_willis> sync_,  with luck the mplayer plugin for firefox can do it..
[07:19] <NET||abuse> tried setting the isps dns settings on the router, didn't help, set my own resolv.conf to the isp dns, works now.. weird

[07:28] <horrendus01> Yeah, I'm back
[07:28] <wezzla> WaZ: it says authentitation failure

[07:29] <Dr_willis> or was it -i ?
[07:30] <WaZ> okay then
[07:30] <horrendus01> anyone know what could be causing this?
[07:30] <WaZ> but wezzla you don't need to be root to change your blacklist
[07:30] <soundray> horrendus01: a failed burn. Try the "Check CD for defects" option.
[07:30] <WaZ> just gksudo gedit /path/to/configfile

[07:30] <arthur_kalm> Hi everyone, I'm try to install Edgy on my system and X fails to load on the live CD because it can't recognize my video card (8800 GTS), is there any way to run the non-graphical installer off of the regular installation CD?
[07:31] <arthur_kalm> or do I need to get the alternative installation CD?
[07:31] <Dr_willis> arthur_kalm,  id say get the alt install cd.. I THINK that video card requiers the newest nvidia drivers however.. so it may be a bit of work to get it working
[07:31] <soundray> arthur_kalm: no, for text-mode installation, you have to use the alternate CD. Have you tried Safe Graphics mode?
[07:31] <horrendus01> arthur is it telling you it finds no screens?
[07:32] <arthur_kalm> soundray: I've tried running in Safe Graphics, same problem
[07:32] <arthur_kalm> horrendus01: yes tha'ts what it says
[07:32] <soundray> horrendus01: is /dev/hda your CD-ROM drive?
[07:32] <arthur_kalm> Dr_willis: yeah it's a brand new card :P
[07:32] <horrendus01> yeah I'm having the same issue with the 8800 GTX
[07:33] <arthur_kalm> Dr_willis, soundray, horrendus01: this is a rather old Edgy CD, is it possible a newer one would work?
[07:33] <WaZ> It's life taking revenge for having such a good gfx card
[07:33] <soundray> arthur_kalm: I don't think the images have been updated.
[07:33] <horrendus01> I'm having the same issue as you are, on my 8800 GTX card
[07:33] <Doug52392> Hi
[07:33] <arthur_kalm> horrendus01, well I guess non graphical install is all we can do
[07:33] <horrendus01> brand new system build just got up and running yesterday lol
[07:34] <royel> geeksauce: did that work for you
[07:34] <arthur_kalm> WaZ: hehe it's good but the game I really want to play (Supreme Commander) runs rather slowly on it (with max settings) :(
[07:34] <geeksauce> royel: checking in nautilus now
[07:34] <arthur_kalm> soundray, ah I see, OK then
[07:34] <Doug52392> I fixed the problom I was having earlier.
[07:34] <ardchoille> I need to learn how to do this and would appreciate any information anyone can provide:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=365695
[07:34] <h1st0> Okay Does anyone know of a way to get remote printing working with an RDP connect is it even possible with linux.
[07:34] <arthur_kalm> horrendus01, what specs?
[07:34] <WaZ> I don't even want to know how fast it will run on my mobility radeon 9600 :D
[07:35] <soundray> arthur_kalm: if you're feeling adventurous, you might have a go with feisty
[07:35] <arthur_kalm> WaZ, haha probably won't :P
[07:35] <h1st0> I'm connecting to a windows box and need to print to my local printer.  This is possible with windows; however, I don't know if its possible with linux.
[07:35] <ares> hello folks
[07:35] <eileen> who r u
[07:35] <arthur_kalm> soundray: how stable is Feisty?
[07:36] <soundray> arthur_kalm: unstable
[07:36] <WaZ> h1st0: it sould be possible with samba
[07:36] <shark-1> is there a program for ubuntu where i can play insturments on my keyboard
[07:36] <geeksauce> royel: yes that worked great.  i'm planning on transferring all my media to my ext HDD and then formatting the NTFS volume as either reiserFS or ext3 and moving them back
[07:36] <h1st0> WaZ: well this is via tsclient.
[07:36] <soundray> arthur_kalm: hundreds of megabytes of upgrades every week :)
[07:37] <ares> i have a problem: when i play a video file, when the playback stop, the session crash and it appear the login session screen
[07:37] <arthur_kalm> soundray: hmm well I need that computer to work so I guess not...
[07:37] <royel> geeksauce: great, good luck then :)
[07:37] <arthur_kalm> soundray: that's not a problem for me, but I need it to be rather stable (i.e. no constant crashing)
[07:37] <WaZ> ah
[07:37] <soundray> arthur_kalm: seriously, if you need a production workstation, the alternate CD is the first choice
[07:37] <arthur_kalm> soundray, and how does Beryl work on it?
[07:37] <soundray> arthur_kalm: haven't tried
[07:37] <shark-1> is there a program for ubuntu where i can play insturments on my keyboard
[07:37] <lefen> hay all!
[07:38] <arthur_kalm> soundray, well it's not exactly production, but yeah I guess I'll wait till the release
[07:38] <soundray> arthur_kalm: but it runs without crashing on my Mac Pro and is great fun there, very snappy.
[07:38] <arthur_kalm> soundray, I'll try out the alternative CD
[07:38] <horrendus01> amd athlon 64 x2 5200+ stock at 2.6 but running at 2.86, 2 GB Ram, geforce 8800 GTX vid card asus mobo
[07:38] <h1st0> WaZ: basically loggin in to a windows 2000 over the net.  Using an application on that windows box like notepad.exe or something.  And then Ihave to be able to print to my printer in linux.
[07:38] <arthur_kalm> soundray, Feisty?
[07:38] <soundray> arthur_kalm: yes
[07:38] <idefix> is this http://garimbo.org/nopaste/1019 normal?
[07:38] <iveen> whats up
[07:38] <arthur_kalm> soundray, hmmz well that's what I need, lack of crashing :P
[07:39] <h1st0> WaZ: Basically it works in windows as long as the 2k server box has the drivers for the printer.  It adds the remote printer as a network printer upon connection.
[07:39] <WaZ> h1st0: so your printer is on your linux machine?
[07:39] <h1st0> Yeah
[07:39] <geeksauce> royel, thanks :)  i'll yell if i run into any roadblocks
[07:39] <_David_> good
[07:39] <arthur_kalm> soundray, maybe I'll give it a try, wonder if I should go with graphical installer though :S
[07:39] <lefen> so i have just this day installed ubuntu and got it on the internets. got a newbie question - should i just go ahead and blindly install all the updates that i'm being told are available or just the kernal ones?
[07:39] <WaZ> h1st0: i think there's an option to share drivers over samba shared printers
[07:39] <moonstone> Hi
[07:39] <soundray> arthur_kalm: don't hold me responsible, though... and we should really switch to #ubuntu+1 if you want to continue this
[07:39] <Miaowara> !sound
[07:39] <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
[07:39] <WaZ> h1st0: never tried it tho
[07:39] <tim167> is there an open source alternative for After Effects ?
[07:40] <idefix> hey soundray
[07:40] <CapaH> I am used to FreeBSD where this command works: ifconfig gif1 create --- why does this not work in Ubuntu -- what should I type instead?
[07:40] <soundray> Hi idefix
[07:40] <arthur_kalm> soundray: sure
[07:40] <h1st0> WaZ: hrm... I'll have to check in to samba but I don't know if that would do it.
[07:40] <arthur_kalm> soundray: i'm in #ubuntu+1
[07:40] <Miaowara> I've tried all that ubotu says but still no luck
[07:40] <soundray> arthur_kalm: got you
[07:40] <Miaowara> Sound looks like it should work. It just doesn't
[07:40] <idefix> soundray how's the acoustic research going?
[07:40] <WaZ> h1st0: Im not sure either, but im no printing expert ;-)
[07:40] <moonstone> i have installed ubuntu dapper on my fujitsu computer, and it does not find my broadcom netxtreme gigabit card out-of-box (wired card)
[07:40] <shark-1> is there a program for ubuntu where i can play insturments on my keyboard
[07:41] <soundray> idefix: haven't been doing any for a long time. #ubuntu-offtopic ?
[07:41] <airsoftdj> some on havw a gun of aisoft???
[07:41] <idefix> what are all these "Couldn't stat source package list" errors for?
[07:41] <moonstone> i googled and i found that modules tg3, b44 and bnx2 are related to broadcom
[07:41] <airsoftdj> ???
[07:41] <moonstone> but no luck modprobing them
[07:41] <airsoftdj> M4AI airsoft gun?
[07:41] <abstruck> hi!
[07:41] <moonstone> after loading those modules there is still NO eth0 device
[07:42] <Strom_C> Hey guys, I have a semi-stupid question: how does the ubuntu edgy desktop install CD auto-detect the video hardware for xorg, and is there a way to manually invoke the /exact same process/ after ubuntu has been installed?  (and no, it's not 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg')
[07:42] <abstruck> anyone having an asus laptop?
[07:42] <royel> how can I determine what is causing my gateway/firewall (ubuntu 6.06 server) to throttle my bandwidth/download speeds? Could it be Shorewall?
[07:43] <deafboy> how do i remove something i installed from a .tgz file?
[07:43] <WaZ> royel: that would seem logical...
[07:43] <airsoftdj> go to ad/and/remove progams
[07:43] <deafboy> rather it left some files before, but i don't know how to remove them
[07:43] <patrialt> The last 2 nights, i've left an item downloading in Azureus and when i come back in the morningm, Azureus gives me a file read error, and it stopped the torrent from downloading, could this be an issue with Azureus or Ubuntu?
[07:43] <flamesrock> hi, I'm having a crazy problem mounting an nfs share:
[07:43] <deafboy> airsoftdj: parallels isn't in add/remove :P
[07:43] <flamesrock> I can go ls /media/share
[07:43] <royel> WaZ: any idea how I could determine if it is?
[07:43] <flamesrock> but when I go ls /media/share/subfolder it just hangs
[07:44] <flamesrock> and wont list it
[07:44] <cor1> !mount
[07:44] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[07:44] <airsoftdj> ???
[07:44] <WaZ> royel: none at all....
[07:44] <WaZ> royel: google?
[07:44] <cor1> !mount | flamesrock
[07:44] <ubotu> flamesrock: please see above
[07:44] <airsoftdj> deafboy yes
[07:44] <flamesrock> I know how to mount
[07:44] <royel> WaZ: for weeks now
[07:44] <flamesrock> I installed ubuntu over gentoo, which mounted nfs shares flawlessly
[07:45] <cor1> sound like you may have a mounting problem
[07:45] <mzanfardino> I have an older SanDisk Imagemate compact flash reader.  It's USB and when I plug it in my system does not automatically recognize/mount the device.  Is there a probe command or something I can use to find the device?  It should'nt be much difference that a USB thumb drive...
[07:45] <wezzla> how can i edit a file that is owned by root?
[07:45] <mindstate> wezzla, sudo
[07:45] <cor1> why did you install over gentoo
[07:45] <WaZ> royel: was it always this way?
[07:45] <cor1> sudo nautilus
[07:45] <flamesrock> because I was having problems with the video driver
[07:45] <cor1> then open the file
[07:45] <mindstate> or sudo thunar :)
[07:46] <WaZ> wezzla: gksudo gedit /path/to/file also works
[07:46] <CapaH> What would I type in Ubuntu instead of: ifconfig gif0 create ?
[07:46] <deafboy> how do you remove a directory from the commandline?
[07:46] <killux> hey, i just updated from dapper to edgy, but now i can open up firefox
[07:46] <mindstate> deafboy, sudo rm -r /name/of/dir
[07:46] <killux> how can i fix this???
[07:46] <distant_voice> how do I check whether I suceeded installing the glx drivers for my nvidia card? I think it worked fine but I'm not sure
[07:46] <cor1> wezzla: sudo Nautilus  then go to that file and chane the persmissions
[07:46] <patrialt> my turn at a stupid question, what's the diff between sudo and gksudo? :P
[07:46] <airsoftdj> some one here now how change firewall settings????
[07:46] <airsoftdj> ???
[07:46] <royel> WaZ: well, since Ubuntu has been being used as the OS
[07:46] <WaZ> gksudo is for gnome apps
[07:46] <mindstate> distant_voice, fglrxinfo i think
[07:47] <airsoftdj> ????
[07:47] <killux> distant_voice, try typin in glxgears too
[07:47] <airsoftdj> firewall settings
[07:47] <cor1> !nautilus
[07:47] <killux> and fglrxinfo
[07:47] <ubotu> nautilus: file manager and graphical shell for GNOME. In component main, is optional. Version 2.16.1-0ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 586 kB, installed size 1424 kB
[07:47] <airsoftdj> ??'
[07:47] <killux> hey, i just updated from dapper to edgy, but now i can open up firefox
[07:47] <patrialt> WaZ then why have i always been told to use gksudo nautilus rather than sudo nautilus?
[07:47] <killux> help!!!
[07:47] <WaZ> royel: I'll probably be of no use, but ill google a bit ;-)
[07:47] <killux> i need firefox
[07:47] <mindstate> patrialt, gksudo is safer
[07:47] <WaZ> patrialt: because nautilus is a gnome app
[07:47] <airsoftdj> ???
[07:47] <cor1> killux go to terminal type sudo apt-get install firefox
[07:47] <mindstate> killux, you should have firefox already
[07:47] <royel> WaZ: heh, maybe google will like you better than it does me
[07:47] <killux> i dooo
[07:48] <rmd_> !gstreamer
[07:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gstreamer - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:48] <WaZ> royel: google loves me
[07:48] <killux> but when  i click it it trys to open but then doesnt mindstate
[07:48] <distant_voice> killux: graphics come up, I don't know what these thingies are call, I'm german, is everything okay then?
[07:48] <royel> WaZ: I would normally say the same thing, but not with this topic
[07:48] <deafboy> is there anyway to delete EVERYTHING with the name parallels in it?
[07:48] <mindstate> killux, try to open from terminal by typing firefox see if it gives u some errors
[07:48] <rmd_> deafboy, "rm -f *parallels" ?
[07:48] <killux> distant_voice, are the gears running smoothly?
[07:48] <rmd_> deafboy, err  "rm -f *parallels*" ?
[07:48] <killux> mindstate, whats the command
[07:49] <WaZ> royel: turn safe search off and google will love you again :D
[07:49] <mindstate> killux, firefox
[07:49] <killux> ok lol
[07:49] <cor1> killux go to administration then to system monitor click the tab proccesses and end all the firefox-bin
[07:49] <mindstate> lol
[07:49] <patrialt> at night when i leave my pc on, running Azureus, downloading things, when i come back in the morning, the file has stopped downloading, and it's displaying a read error, could someone tell me if this is Ubuntu related, or just Azureus being goofy?
[07:49] <mindstate> killux, yeah listen to corl, thats prolly the problem
[07:49] <ToRm3nTeD> could sum1 remind me where to put win32 codecs in "edgy" plz so vlc will play ball
[07:49] <rmd_> patrialt, probably Azureous.  I had lots of problems with that that I never had with BitTornado.
[07:49] <cor1> killux go to administration then to system monitor click the tab proccesses and end all the firefox-bin
[07:50] <killux> yes i just did that
[07:50] <cor1> did it work?
[07:50] <soundray> deafboy: 'find / -name \*parallels\* -print0 | xargs -0 rm -rf '
[07:50] <rmd_> ToRm3nTeD, if you did an apt-get install vlc it should play them no problemo
[07:50] <WaZ> royel: Im reading this: http://www.shorewall.net/traffic_shaping.htm#id2455545
[07:50] <patrialt> rmd_ the reason i doubted that it might be azureus, is cuz i've used azureus in the passed on Windows problem free
[07:50] <KDan> what's a decent BT client under ubuntu, that's not a memory hog?
[07:50] <killux> i get asked if i want to restore session or start new one
[07:50] <KDan> (ie not azureus)
[07:50] <mindstate> KDan, uTorrent under wine works excellent
[07:51] <royel> WaZ: ha, never knew that safe search option was there :)
[07:51] <cor1> killux when you restore it brings you back to the last open window of firefox you had
[07:51] <killux> what should i click cor1 or mindstate ?
[07:51] <KDan> mindstate: worth installing wine for?
[07:51] <distant_voice> another thing: I installed Googleearth and it works fine now, but it doesn't appear in my applications menu... how can I fix that?
[07:51] <royel> WaZ: I am too, now :)
[07:51] <WaZ> royel: its only for images :D
[07:51] <rmd_> patrialt, *shrug*  who knows?  all i can say is that i had problems w/Azureous, as well, and then went to BitTornado
[07:51] <killux> so i click new
[07:51] <cor1> killux just click start new
[07:51] <slippyr4> royel: you'll not get much of your pr0n needs with safesearch on
[07:51] <royel> WaZ: oh, well thats not any good :)
[07:51] <WaZ> royel: /etc/shorewall/tcdevices
[07:51] <rmd_> KDan, of, if you're not on crack, you can just run BitTornado and cut out the excessive system hogginess of wine.
[07:51] <patrialt> rmd_ k, i'll try switching to a diff torrent app
[07:51] <mindstate> KDan, thats the only reason why i installed Wine..so id say its worth it, works better than any of the native BT clients too me
[07:51] <killux> it didnt load up
[07:51] <killux> but firefox-bin is back in processes
[07:51] <cor1> kiollux give it a seck
[07:51] <ToRm3nTeD> where is the folder that the music players look for codecs though ?
[07:52] <ToRm3nTeD> so i can add more
[07:52] <cor1> yes as it hould be
[07:52] <royel> WaZ: I don't have that file
[07:52] <slippyr4> is bittornado a native linux client then
[07:52] <KDan> rmd_: BitTornado has all the neat torrent mgt features?
[07:52] <killux> no it doesnt even say loading firefox
[07:52] <cor1> if its running hasyhting come upp yet
[07:52] <rmd_> likwidtek, BotTorrent is native, yes.
[07:52] <mindstate> killux, maybe try to reboot your machine?
[07:52] <WaZ> royel: good i guess...
[07:52] <fenderjaguar> hi. does anybody here recommend a graphics card that will do tv out with xubuntu? i've got a nvidia fx 5200, but it isn't supported....
[07:52] <rmd_> KDan, what native torrent mgt features are you looking for?
[07:52] <killux> i did that
[07:52] <killux> maybe something with the plugins?
[07:52] <cor1> !firefox
[07:52] <ubotu> 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
[07:52] <KDan> rmd_: i want to kill stuff once it's downloaded and share ratio is above 1.1
[07:53] <KDan> and i want to be able to cap things
[07:53] <brainly-green> I have exported a text file into a LaTeX file using OpenOffice--how can I view that LaTeX file?
[07:53] <babu> hi, can anyone tell me, how to connect to mysql in ubuntu?
[07:53] <KDan> (upload speed, specifically
[07:53] <cor1> killux let me check something
[07:53] <killux> ok thanks cor1
[07:53] <KDan> i'd also want to ensure that the stuff i'm still downloading is prioritised over the stuff i'm seeding
[07:53] <mindstate> KDan, i say uTorrent .. u cant go wrong and Wine is that that ram hoggy
[07:54] <brainly-green> or more to the point, how can I properly view a .tex file from within OpenOffice?
[07:54] <KDan> mindstate: to be honest, i have to wonder why Wine would be any less of a hog than Java...
[07:54] <mindstate> KDan, i hear Ktorrent is ok ..never used it though
[07:54] <cor1> killux whats the version you haev
[07:54] <WaZ> royel: check this file: /etc/shorewall/tcclasses
[07:54] <rmd_> KDan, you can cap each torrent individually, but, since i don't punish others after i've uploaded "my share" i dont know about the rest.
[07:54] <distant_voice> killux, then gears run smoothly, is everything okay then?
[07:54] <killux> yes
[07:54] <distant_voice> thx
[07:54] <mindstate> KDan, well my system runs alot smoother running utorrent in wine than running azureus with java
[07:54] <KDan> rmd_: not really about punishing, just about conserving bandwidth..
[07:54] <rmd_> KDan, you probably want to go with utorrent under wine or ktorrent, but theyre going to suck up resources as much if not higher than azureous
[07:54] <killux> type in fglrxinfo distant_voice
[07:54] <brainly-green> or how can I _render_ the .tex file within OpenOffice
[07:54] <KDan> blah
[07:54] <KDan> ok, i'll try both
[07:55] <rmd_> KDan, wine vs java is probably debatable.  try each one out and see.
[07:55] <KDan> all three i mean
[07:55] <royel> WaZ: dont have that one either
[07:55] <abstruck> hi
[07:55] <WaZ> lol
[07:55] <abstruck> is there anyone having an asus laptop?
[07:55] <zzaza> hi all
[07:56] <mindstate> slippyr4, clean ur keyboard lol
[07:56] <killux> corl any luck?
[07:56] <slippyr4> mindstate: keyboard is fine, its just poor aim from my fingers
[07:56] <horrendus01> lol
[07:56] <KDan> what about Transmission?
[07:56] <mindstate> slippyr4, lol im the same way
[07:57] <abstruck> slippyr4: alias modprove=modprobe
[07:57] <abstruck> :D
[07:57] <patrialt> is there any way to transfer torrent downloads from one Application to another
[07:57] <betatux> Anyone have a link to Beryl Skydomes ??
[07:57] <mindstate> killux, firefox still wont load?
[07:57] <cor1> killux you have anyother borwser running
[07:57] <KDan> patrialt: yes
[07:57] <rmd_> slippyr4, or make a sym link in /usr/bin that points modprove to modprobe
[07:57] <killux> yes
[07:57] <killux> opera
[07:57] <KDan> patrialt: just make sure they both have the same download directory
[07:57] <cor1>          Open a terminal, and cd to ~/.phoenix/         cd to the directory called default. (If you are using another             Firefox profile, cd to the directory matching the name of the Firefox profile you             are using.)         cd to the directory whose name contains a strange sequence of characters ending             in .slt         Rename the directory chrome to something else by entering             mv chrome chrom
[07:57] <KDan> and open the torrent in the second app
[07:57] <patrialt> Ahh okay
[07:57] <cor1> http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/releases/fix-extensions.html
[07:57] <patrialt> thank you
[07:57] <KDan> normally, it will check the file, and resume dloading
[07:57] <KDan> np
[07:58] <slippyr4> abstruck , rmd_ that's just lazy. we should type better
[07:58] <rmd_> !pastebin
[07:58] <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)
[07:58] <KDan> that worked for me between azureus on windows and Deluge on linux - so should work fine between other combos too
[07:58] <wortel> Is it possible to mount a partition as /usr ?
[07:58] <mindstate> KDan, how is deluge?
[07:58] <wortel> ...in fstab
[07:58] <cor1> killux idk pal
[07:58] <KDan> mindstate: fairly limited... doesn't actually offer the functionality i want
[07:59] <wortel> I've been trying but the system doesn't even boot, just stops after checking the drive, but doesn't give any errors
[07:59] <KDan> the real killer is that it crashes into 100% cpu utilization regualrly
[07:59] <mindstate> killux, have you tried running a different web browser?
[07:59] <KDan> basically if i leave it alone and come back 9 hours later it's crashed
[07:59] <Doug52392> Hi, I finally got the Ubuntu installer working, and am at the partition screen. I resized the main partition and now have 9gb unalloticated. Do I click on "use largest continuous free space to use that unaloticated space?
[07:59] <mindstate> KDan, dang, no deluge for me then lol
[07:59] <KDan> mindstate: zactly.
[07:59] <killux> mindstate, but i love firefox
[07:59] <KDan> hence my looking :-)
[07:59] <slippyr4> doug52392 yes that would do it
[07:59] <killux> how can i uninstall they reinstall?
[07:59] <mindstate> killux, we all do, its just a test to see if something works
[08:00] <cor1> killix i had the same problem all i did was end its process
[08:00] <killux> mindstate, opera works fine
[08:00] <mindstate> killux, sudo apt-get install --reinstall firefox
[08:00] <cor1> killix: do what mindstate said
[08:00] <nomasteryoda> awe, that is so simple... can't it be harder?
[08:00] <nomasteryoda> lol
[08:00] <mindstate> killux, that will reinstall it..hopefully that works
[08:01] <killux> im reinstalling now
[08:01] <WaZ> it can nomasteryoda
[08:01] <nomasteryoda> ya?
[08:01] <WaZ> yeah
[08:01] <kane__> hi
[08:01] <shapras> Hello. sorry but need help.
[08:01] <Strom_C> Do any of you know the process by which the ubuntu 6.10 livecd autodetects installed video hardware and generates an xorg.conf?
[08:01] <killux> mindstate, didnt work
[08:01] <Doug52392> And are these settings right to dual boot with Windows xp and not damage my current partition: Install GRUB to hd0, hda will be changed: partition 2 will be formatted as ex3, partition 5 will be formatted as swap
[08:02] <cor1> i installed a radio streamer and i cant find it it the menus
[08:02] <nomasteryoda> WaZ, i thought computers were supposed to be diffictult
[08:02] <mindstate> killux, sheesh dude..i dont know wut to tell you.r u on Dapper or Edgy?
[08:02] <rmd_> Doug52392, as long as you dont have a windows installation on any partitions that are going to be formatted, then yes
[08:02] <shapras> smht wrong wiht resoliution. Only show 640x480 in 60Hz. I only restart ubunut
[08:02] <killux> mindstate, edgy I just updated from dapper
[08:02] <Doug52392> ok
[08:02] <cor1> killix try looking it up on the forums
[08:02] <WaZ> well, they're supposed to be easy untill you absolutely need something and it doesn't work
[08:03] <MasterShrek> hi im running dapper and i was wondering what everyone used for their ipods?
[08:03] <EdgEy> anyone here use ventrilo under wine? i'm having problems compiling the 'workaround' to get push-to-talk working, i realise it's not really wine's problem but thought someone might be able to help
[08:03] <shapras> and please write in private. becouse in 640x480 I not see all
[08:03] <mindstate> killux, dude im not sure bro. im sorry.. do wut corl said check out the forums
[08:03] <slippyr4> doug52393: that will give you a winxp option in the grub boot menu. if you choose to remove linux in the future, you will need your windows xp cd to reinstall the xp type boot sector in order to be able to boot. so long as you have a winxp cd you can always do this.
[08:03] <mindstate> killux, ive found ALOT of fixes just by reading the forums
[08:03] <killux> mindstate, can I just downgrade?
[08:03] <cor1> killix there normally are
[08:03] <cor1> killux try that
[08:03] <infinitee> MasterShrek:  "gtkpod"
[08:03] <mindstate> killux, yeah try that
[08:03] <killux> how do I do it?
[08:04] <cor1> killix get the latest upgrade for firefox
[08:04] <MasterShrek> Thank You infinitee
[08:04] <cor1> sudp aot-get upgrade
[08:04] <cor1> sudo apt-get upgrade
[08:04] <disasm> how can I make the system wide default e-mail client thunderbird? I have approximately 150 users, and they all want to be able to click links in firefox and get thunderbird to open the e-mail
[08:04] <killux> everything is at its latest
[08:04] <killux> but its weird
[08:04] <mindstate> killux, install swiftfox
[08:05] <deafboy> PriceChild: if i do it from beryl-manager i get a white screen
[08:05] <cor1> umm check out mozilla's website
[08:05] <mindstate> killux, same thing as firefox just optimized for linux
[08:05] <cor1> any one now a good radio stream ripper
[08:05] <infinitee> corl: "streamripper"
[08:05] <killux> cant find swiftfox
[08:05] <mindstate> corl, winamp?
[08:05] <PriceChild> deafboy, #beryl or #ubuntu-effects please
[08:05] <mindstate> killux, www.getswiftfox.com .. add the repo's to your sources.list
[08:05] <deafboy> PriceChild: oops thought i was in beryl XD
[08:06] <Strom_C> Am I in the wrong channel for asking questions about the ubuntu install process?
[08:06] <mindstate> killux, do an sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get install swiftfox
[08:06] <killux> and its weird these 2 packages are being held back libggi2 mplayer
[08:06] <mindstate> killux, u may have to specify your pc arch in the file name like swiftfox-athlon
[08:06] <killux> and firefox has a mplayer plugin
[08:06] <knight> hi all
[08:06] <killux> maybe thats why its not running?
[08:06] <soundray> Strom_C: no
[08:06] <shapras> where I can find monitor driver location?
[08:06] <knight> is there a command that replaces mknbi

[08:10] <soundray> Strom_C: is this your only line of enquiry, or have you tried docs/sources/stfw/other channels?

[08:13] <infinitee> shapras: Ubuntu might not have detected your video settings, dunno why
[08:13] <slippyr4> elyon225: and have you checked ffmpeg? is does most conversions i've ever needed

[08:14] <babu> hi, i installed mysql in my ubuntu machine, can anyone tell me how to connect? i tried "sudo mysql -u babu", "mysql -u root", "msql -h localhost -p"
[08:14] <babu> but, still its not connecting
[08:14] <EdgEy> it's plugged in, but i get 'Resource busy or unavailable' in the control panel
[08:14] <slippyr4> elyon225 : google it first. it's good though, i even managed to use it to convert proprietary sega formatted videos of the saturn nights into dreams game disc into somethign usable. impressive.

[08:14] <aiduciukas> Hi, how I can resize my windows ntfs partition and add that unused space to my current linux partition?
[08:14] <soundray> !mysql | babu
[08:14] <killux> can i delete a .deb file after it was installed???
[08:14] <ubotu> babu: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[08:14] <Strom_C> soundray: what I'm attempting to do is create a partition image which will work on multiple PCs.  Everything seems to be pointing me in the direction of the ubuntu installer containing the most robust method of video hardware autodetection, but that process doesn't seem to be well-documented.  Essentially what I'd like to have happen is have ubuntu figure out the video settings every time it boots.
[08:14] <slippyr4> babu : errors?
[08:14] <killux> can i delete a .deb file after it was installed???
[08:15] <elyon225> killux: Yes.
[08:15] <aiduciukas> killux, yes

[08:18] <ts0_> cor1: ssh
[08:18] <Strom_C> cor1: server?
[08:18] <Strom_C> or client?
[08:18] <cor1> server
[08:18] <Strom_C> server is apt-get install openssh-server
[08:18] <soundray> ts0_: the fastest is probably a reinstall, saving the contents of /var/cache/apt/archives
[08:18] <Strom_C> IIRC anyway :)
[08:18] <cor1> thanks

[08:18] <ts0_> soundray: what's a way that I can do it without reinstalling completely, just by removing packages etc?
[08:19] <cor1> can you get stream ripper for windows?
[08:19] <shapras> infinitee: do you know there is locate this file "xorg.conf"?
[08:19] <nomasteryoda> cor1 nope
[08:19] <infinitee> shapras: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:19] <soundray> ts0_: remove every package that you know you don't need, then remove orphaned packages with orphan. Reinstalling is faster.
[08:19] <testybirch> I got serious problems burning a 4.4GB file on a DVD. The ones I burned with Nero in UDF aren't mountet automacially, and as I created a DVD out of Nautilus it doesn't find the file when mounted...

[08:30] <ubotu> Found: soundkonverter
[08:30] <AlexC_> busfahrer: woops, sorry about that. Erm ... not sure about open source drivers sorry - actually, I think there is a guide on Beryl about installing Beryl with open-source ATI Drivers. I know you don't want Beryl but if you follow the bit about OS ATI Drivers then ...
[08:30] <slippyr4> disasm : i'm basically moving HD. I installed on a plain old sata disk, then added the drivers for my raid controller to the kernel, used lvm to migrate data to the new array, and i've updated the initramfs, so i just need to setup grub on the new disk and i should be able to boot
[08:31] <busfahrer> AlexC_: I'm reading that. The line I gave you is all they have to say about that :-)
[08:31] <slippyr4> disasm : the grub-install takes an install-device parameter - does that want the device of the drive, or the device node of the boot partition?
[08:31] <AoW> where I can find info about this error (I have AMD Athalon 64 3000+ and GeForce 6600 graphics card)
[08:31] <AlexC_> busfahrer: oh! maybe do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and select the driver "ati" when asked?
[08:31] <aiduciukas> AoW wich error?
[08:32] <AoW> aiduciukas the screen looks ugly, I can`t see anything at all
[08:32] <distant_voice> anybody know which ports I should use with Azureus? currently I get NAT error
[08:32] <Se23> i cannt use cdrecord
[08:32] <AoW> aiduciukas ubuntu loads and then just a crash
[08:32] <aiduciukas> you installed anything before?
[08:32] <Se23> oh
[08:32] <disasm> slippyr4: if you do grub-install /dev/{hs}da it will put it in the mbr, if you give it a partition, it will install it in partition
[08:32] <shapras> Anybody know other linux better than ubuntu?
[08:32] <Se23> i must be a root
[08:32] <testybirch> Anyone who has experience with burning files larger than 4GB on a dvd?
[08:32] <Se23> doesnt work
[08:32] <Se23> :))
[08:33] <krantix> hi! is there a way to exclude a package from automatic updates in update manager? thanks!
[08:33] <aiduciukas> testybirch, yes
[08:33] <shapras> I tired renistall ubuntu. It will be 10 time in week
[08:33] <UdontKnow> testybirch: a single-layer dvd is 4482MB long
[08:33] <disasm> shapras: don't you think your asking a stupid question for an ubuntu help channel? We're just a bit biased, I for one have installed ubuntu on over 50 computers ;-)
[08:33] <dyrne> Se23: there are several blank options like to open an existing session on the disk. but i think: cdrecord -v speed=8 blank=fast dev=0,4,0 -data /whatever/file.iso  its been a long time though since ive done that.. the key line for the overwrite is blank=
[08:33] <intelikey> hi guys, i'm trying to setup a printer but, i'm having a problem with cupsys. i can access 127.0.0.1:631 just fine; but, nothing on the page will work.  everything just times out.     thoughts ?
[08:33] <slippyr4> disasm: hmmm. safer to do it manually i think - then i can be sure it's all my fault when it goes wrong
[08:33] <AlexC_> krantix: yes, just click on the Check box to uncheck it
[08:33] <shapras> disasm: I tired renisntal ubuntu in week time for nothing
[08:33] <petersonnauta> alquem fala portugues ai?
[08:33] <testybirch> aiduciukas, how did you burn that? when burning it with nautilus it shows me an empty dvd after mounting
[08:33] <disasm> slippyr4: yeah, just run grub and do setup (hd0) works just as well
[08:33] <krantix> AlexC_ i would like to exclude it forever...
[08:34] <mindstate> KDan, if your still there, im hearing qBittorrent works very well..comparable to utorrent im about to d/l myself
[08:34] <AlexC_> krantix: not sure about that sorry, you could Lock the package I guess.
[08:34] <aiduciukas> testybirch, try butn with gnome-baker
[08:34] <shapras> disasm: I tired renisntal ubuntu in week 10 ] time for nothing
[08:34] <aiduciukas> testybirch, *burn
[08:34] <infinitee> petersonnauta: #ubuntu-pt
[08:34] <slippyr4> disasm, well time to reboot. fingers crossed it comes up - i've been trying to get this working for a week now
[08:34] <AlexC_> krantix: in Synaptic (System->Admin->Synaptic) then find you're package and go to Package->Lock Version
[08:35] <disasm> shapras: can you rewrite that sentence? I'm not sure if your tired of installing it or you tried installing it, and have no clue what you mean by week 10
[08:35] <testybirch> aiduciukas, gnome-baker wouldn't let me add a file larger than 4GB
[08:35] <miha> hello this is first time this happened to me.. i installed mysql (5.something) and when i start it just prints lines with single .  .. after a minute it gives up.. i see no errors in logs
[08:35] <krantix> AlexC_ thanks i'll try right now
[08:35] <aiduciukas> testybirch, so maybe bad dvd disk?
[08:35] <miha> any ideas?
[08:36] <FryLAPPY> what deb-src do I need to have proftpd available?
[08:36] <disasm> miha: try running strace on the daemon when starting it manually
[08:36] <AoW> huh, what should I do about that "crash" because the loading screen is the only thing I can see, after loading screen crashes
[08:36] <disasm> FryLAPPY: probly in universe
[08:37] <miha> disasm: it displays cryptic messages:)
[08:37] <Se23> dyrne: is not more easy to do cdrecord -format ?-)
[08:37] <slippyr4> disasm : woohoo! it boots!
[08:37] <miha> only thing meaningful is
[08:37] <carlo> raiden!
[08:37] <pcollaog> hello
[08:37] <carlo> hi
[08:38] <disasm> jrib: thanks for the gconf tip, a line to gconftool-2 in my install script got it setup to default to thunderbird
[08:38] <pcollaog> somebody has had problems with kernel series 2.6.20 ??
[08:38] <iturk> pcollaog: working fine till now
[08:38] <AlexC_> pcollaog: please ask a real question, EG - what is you're problem you're having, instead of asking others if they have problems :P
[08:38] <disasm> jrib: it would be really nice if there where an /etc/alternatives for mail client that everything would listen to, but until then gotta do it the hard way...
[08:38] <pcollaog> iturk... my proble is with the volumeID
[08:38] <ts0_> can a custom install not be done with the edgy livecd?
[08:38] <intelikey> is https://help.ubuntu.com/community  down ?
[08:39] <AlexC_> intelikey: nope,
[08:39] <nomasteryoda> nope
[08:39] <pcollaog> in my laptos rules... but in my desktop doesn't run
[08:39] <dyrne> Se23: i said i wasnt an expert! :)
[08:39] <Se23> why i awalays get this error while try to cdrecord -format an cd-rw - Error trying to open /dev/cdrw exclusively (Device or resource busy)... retrying in 1 second.
[08:39] <intelikey> AlexC_ can you access  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers ?
[08:39] <iturk> is www.wikipedia.org down ?
[08:39] <disasm> ts0_: by custom you mean base console install? I think you need alternate for that
[08:39] <intelikey> it's timing out on me.
[08:39] <AlexC_> iturk: that is to do with Ubuntu ... how?
[08:39] <ts0_> disasm: lovely
[08:39] <AlexC_> intelikey: fine here,
[08:39] <FlyingSquirrel32> I'm trying to install vmware tools, and it wants me to install gcc of ther version the kernel was made with. Which package would have that?
[08:39] <intelikey> k
[08:40] <slippyr4> disasm , ts0_ , or server
[08:40] <Se23> cdrecord: Device or resource busy. Cannot open '/dev/cdrw'. Cannot open SCSI driver.
[08:40] <ts0_> brainless
[08:40] <disasm> ts0_: i may be wrong but I think the livecd basically mirrors it's image to the drive, similar to the knoppix hd install script
[08:40] <iturk> intelikey: its on
[08:40] <Se23> oh
[08:40] <Se23> -)
[08:40] <Se23> i was on a cd-rw
[08:40] <Se23> ...
[08:40] <AlexC_> !enter | Se23
[08:40] <ubotu> Se23: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[08:40] <Bnirkow> infinitee: there are only help for edgy only, not feisty
[08:41] <intelikey> iturk i finally got it.  it timed out first then loaded really slowly.
[08:41] <intelikey> thanks
[08:41] <disasm> ts0_: but... don't give up hope ;-) open a terminal, and see if you have debootstrap installed (if not, if you have enough ram install it) you should be able to debootstrap a base system if you have a network connection
[08:41] <Se23> AlexC_ why i get always cdrecord: Device or resource busy. Cannot open '/dev/cdrw'. Cannot open SCSI driver. when try to erase an cdrw with cdrecord -format ?
[08:42] <Se23> do you know the answer?
[08:42] <infinitee> Bnirkow: feisty documentation wont be ready till release, edgy steps didnt work?
[08:42] <mindstate> Se23, check ur fstab
[08:42] <AlexC_> Se32 please don't ask question directly to me - ask it to the whole channel.
[08:42] <slippyr4> what's that whole desktop meta package everyone is always asking questions about when they try to uninstall openoffice.org ?
[08:42] <ts0_> ubuntu-desktop?
[08:42] <AlexC_> slippyr4: ubuntu-desktop? it's a Metapackage which basically depends on other packages to install others ... hum, I'm no good at explain things!
[08:42] <Se23> mindstate : command not found
[08:42] <slippyr4> that'd probably be the obvious answer. i shall go away again now, thanks
[08:43] <miha> hmmm so what can i do about mysql?
[08:43] <mindstate> Se23, sudo cat /etc/fstab
[08:43] <miha> :P
[08:43] <slippyr4> so if i "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" on a server (text only) install, what are the odds of me getting a working desktop out of it?
[08:43] <Bnirkow> infinitee: not
[08:43] <nicolah> is there any gui for svn ?
[08:43] <mindstate> slippyr4, i think that installs gnome
[08:44] <jrib> slippyr4: very likely
[08:44] <AlexC_> slippyr4: never tried it, but ... I dunno, try it and see is what I say!
[08:44] <Se23> mindstate and ...
[08:44] <Bnirkow> infinitee: how You think?? aiglx is better than fglrx?
[08:44] <dyrne> slippyr4: i always do a server install then apt-get xubuntu-desktop
[08:44] <disasm> Bnirkow: i have ati fglrx working flawlessly on laptop with feisty, make sure you have linux-restricted package and I think xorg-driver-fglrx then run aticonfig, same as edgy
[08:44] <davin> Hi, I try to install libgtk2.0-dev and I get: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libgtk2.0-dev: Depends: libpango1.0-dev (>= 1.10.0-2) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages
[08:44] <mindstate> Se23, check to see wut ur cd rom is on /dev/???
[08:44] <AlexC_> Bnirkow: AIGLX and FGLRX are completly different things.
[08:45] <intelikey> well there is nothing about cups problems on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers  that i can see anyway.   anyone good with networking that would care to help trubble shoot cupsys ?
[08:45] <gizmo_the_great1> Hi. Whenever I plug removable media into my Ubuntu, almost always (but not every time) I am unable to write to it unless I mess about with chown etc, and even then, sometimes I get 'Operation Not Permitted' even using sudo. Can anyone tell me how I can configure Ubuntu so that EVERY time I plug in a USB drive etc I automatically have write permissions?
[08:45] <Bnirkow> AlexC_: ... newbie :)
[08:45] <Se23> mindstate: "wut" ?
[08:45] <mindstate> Se23, are you absolutely new to linux?
[08:45] <jrib> disasm: glad you got it to work, I definitely agree with you that it would be great if there was a single spot to configure defaults that everything used
[08:45] <Se23> yes
[08:45] <slippyr4> alexc_ , jrib, mindstate - i think + hope it'll work. i've only just got me a working server install after a week of p*ssing about. dyrne - xubuntu-desktop == xfce instead of gnome? does gtk+ stuff still run onj xfce?
[08:45] <mindstate> Se23, ok im going to PM you
[08:46] <AlexC_> Bnirkow: =) fglrx is the closed-source, official ATI driver. AIGLX is like ... it adds support for applications to take advantage of OpenGL, gah why can't I explain stuff tonight!
[08:46] <AoW> can anybody help me ? someone who works with 64bit version ?
[08:46] <disasm> slippyr4: gtk runs everywhere ;-) even kde if you really wanted to
[08:46] <davin> Hi, I try to install libgtk2.0-dev and I get: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libgtk2.0-dev: Depends: libpango1.0-dev (>= 1.10.0-2) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages
[08:46] <AlexC_> davin: you may need extra repositories enabled, https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/extra-repositories.html
[08:46] <Se23> mindstate ok, maybe to restart the system
[08:47] <AlexC_> !anyone | AoW
[08:47] <disasm> intelikey: whats your issue with cups?
[08:47] <ubotu> AoW: 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?
[08:47] <mindstate> Se23, you could try that
[08:47] <Strom_C> Is there an option I can feed to the ubuntu livecd at boot time so that it gives me verbose output as to what it's doing each step of the way?
[08:47] <FlyingSquirrel32> How can I figure out which repo an available package is in?
[08:47] <davin> AlexC_: I got all repos.
[08:47] <Bnirkow> infinitee: i will try now this help for edgy
[08:47] <disasm> intelikey: I'm pretty good with it, I'm running a cups server for a whole department

[08:48] <AoW> I could not launch Ubuntu because of screen crash (AMD64, GeForce 6600)
[08:48] <laba1> !ati
[08:48] <dyrne> Strom_C: i could be wrong but coulnt you edit the line with kernel and remove quiet splash?
[08:48] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:48] <nicolah> is there any gui for svn ?
[08:48] <mo^> who knows a good application to make a webcam/voice-chat between windows and linux? a tried skype, amsn and wengophone, but i'm not satisfied yet.
[08:48] <slippyr4> dyrne: does xubuntu-desktop install lots of junk like openoffice.org (as i'd get if i installed ubuntu-desktop) or is it much lighter weight?
[08:48] <miha> how can i see what is bind to some port?
[08:48] <timon> Can somebody help me? I have XSERVER error...
[08:48] <jrib> !rapidsvn | nicolah

[08:51] <traco> o
[08:52] <disasm> davin: I don't have a dapper system anymore, try dpkg -l|grep pango, see if you have an old pango package. if so remove it, and try reinstall again
[08:52] <timon> When i want to install Ubuntu, the installation freeze...when i press strg+alt+f1 and type "dpkg reconfigure ..." than i can configure it...at least, when i install the colordepth for the monitor, the window get smaler and i can type something...when i type "sudo reboot" the reboot freeze also..sry but i cant so good speak eng^^
[08:52] <davin> soundray disasm: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6733/
[08:52] <tomp> soundray: a few days ago i tried to install dsl / fluxbuntu to a laptop without floppy, without ethernet, without boot crom, cd. i got a general solution. you copy vmlinuz & initrd to /boot on a working linux that uses grub. you edit a new stanza in grub to use those 2 files, they will finish booting from the cd , even tho you cannot begin booting from them. thanks for your help!
[08:52] <soundray> davin: try 'sudo apt-get -f install' and pastebin the outpu
[08:52] <soundray> t
[08:52] <davin> soundrayL nothing to repair
[08:53] <davin> disasm: removing libpango removes the whole ubuntu-desktop package
[08:53] <tuskernini> I cant connect to WLAN of our city... does not want to connect... but with a key at home... wlan works well
[08:54] <intelikey> gizmo_the_great1 chmod doesn't work on M$ file systems  they don't have permissions bits.   umask= fmask= and dmask= are used by mount to set an fs wide pysudo permission.
[08:54] <soundray> tomp: did you use a non-bootable CD-ROM for that? Or an iso image on the hard disk?
[08:54] <disasm> davin: hmmm... if it was me i'd go for it, and reinstall the stuff after I got gtk dev stuff working, but I'm a little edgy (no pun intended) and have test machines to try stuff on I can break all day long and reinstall ;-)
[08:54] <davin> disasm: well this is my main desktop
[08:55] <tomp> soundray: i used a live cd, but remember, i cannot boot directly to the cd
[08:55] <y0hm> slippy : use any alt-cd , install a command line system & afterwards install xfce4 & some other tools , then you have a nicely stripped system ,without gimmicks
[08:55] <timon> When i want to install Ubuntu, the installation freeze...when i press strg+alt+f1 and type "dpkg reconfigure ..." than i can configure it...at least, when i install the colordepth for the monitor, the window get smaler and i can type something...when i type "sudo reboot" the reboot freeze also..
[08:55] <Bnirkow> i have used this help ==> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver#head-be424fb21464afc861c5cc308dac1876a4807de1   but still i can`t change my resolution on feisty
[08:55] <disasm> davin: are your packages all up to date?
[08:55] <davin> disasm: I need the gtk2 dev to compile a plugin for gaim beta
[08:55] <soundray> tomp: yep. Well done! And thanks for letting me know.
[08:55] <gizmo_the_great1> intelikey: thanks. So are you saying that, in theory, if all the USB drives I own were ext3 FS, for example, I should not have any problems? If so, how do I set the fmask, umask values etc for every thumb drive I plug in?
[08:56] <testybirch> gnomebaker doesn't let me add files larger than 4GB...
[08:56] <davin> disasm yes
[08:56] <tomp> soundray: next step is to use .iso images on hd, and get a jukebox of live cds heh heh
[08:56] <intelikey> disasm is there a way to setup a printer without cups ?    if i can't get cups working i'd still like to print.
[08:56] <LiENUS> how do i install mod_svn on ubuntu 6.06 server?
[08:56] <disasm> davin: it may be less painful to upgrade to edgy than try to get the lib to work on dapper
[08:57] <soundray> !subversion | LiENUS
[08:57] <ubotu> LiENUS: subversion is an open source application used for revision control. It is sometimes abbreviated to svn in reference to the name of its command line interface. Look here for a Subversion How To on Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Subversion
[08:57] <davin> disasm I tried edgy several times and it doesnt recognise any of my 7 usb mice
[08:57] <disasm> intelikey: lpr, but that's even more painful than cups ;-)
[08:57] <intelikey> disasm not if it works !
[08:57] <tuskernini> wlan does not work without key... ?
[08:57] <disasm> intelikey: are you trying to set it up from gnomes cups client or the web based?

[08:58] <testybirch> Does anyone have a clue how to burn DVDs in UDF on Ubuntu?
[08:58] <disasm> intelikey: what specific error is it giving you?
[08:58] <tuskernini> davin, i cant connect to wlan in the city... its open.. but at home i can whith a key

[08:59] <davin> tuskernini: Well then it needs a key
[08:59] <intelikey> disasm none  just times out on all the links on the page execpt the web based ones.
[08:59] <tuskernini> davin, the city wlan is open and needs no key... well, my mac freind does not need one
[08:59] <disasm> intelikey: so it brings up the front page and if you click on any of the tabs, it times out?
[08:59] <xiko> Hello. Ive resized my ubuntu 6.10 disk to make room for a windows install. I did install it and it went ok. So I used the ubuntu install disk to load ubuntu to set the flag to boot on the ext3 main partition and configured the grub BUT when I reboot my computer it says disk not found. It is strange because I am now on the install disk for ubuntu and all my files are there. Can anyone help me?
[08:59] <intelikey> disasm exactly
[08:59] <davin> tuskernini What do you mean by a city wlan, net cafe?
[09:00] <soundray> !info udftools | testybirch
[09:00] <ubotu> testybirch: udftools: tools for UDF filesystems and DVD/CD-R(W) drives. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.0.0b3-11 (edgy), package size 73 kB, installed size 248 kB
[09:00] <tuskernini> davin, the city has HUGE antennas wit wlan
[09:00] <xai> I get missing sys/types.h when I try to compile a korg kernel... any ideas?
[09:00] <disasm> tuskernini: what chipset?
[09:00] <tuskernini> davin, should be like a normal cafe
[09:00] <intelikey> disasm and if i try the gnome or kde printer setup it just hangs the process out to dry.  no window opens or anything.
[09:00] <tuskernini> how do i know that?
[09:01] <krantix> which is the best way to search for torrents with azureus? :-)
[09:01] <tuskernini> disasm, how do i know that
[09:01] <davin> tuskernini dont get it
[09:01] <disasm> tuskernini: is it a native wireless driver or are you using ndiswrapper?
[09:01] <xai> linux-kernel-devel  ?
[09:01] <beltz> I just installed Ubuntu, and I am so confused!
[09:01] <tuskernini> disasm, ok.. no i am using a narive driver.. let me see... lsmod..
[09:02] <intelikey> disasm i see you are busy right now.   if you don't mind i'll come back a little later and try again.
[09:02] <digitone> how can i go from a 4K kernel stack to a 8L
[09:02] <digitone> 8K
[09:02] <xiko> In gparted. If I set my sda1 to boot, it that all it needs
[09:02] <disasm> tuskernini: you can try iwlist scan, see if you can see it. If it's supported, I'd highly recommend using wpa_supplicant to handle multiple networks
[09:02] <disasm> intelikey: ok, good luck
[09:02] <tuskernini> disasm,  i know iwlist.. and it shows it.. let me do it again
[09:02] <beltz> First, I couldn't figure how to install X-Chat from a terminal, so I downloaded a binary that had the extension ".deb", and which Firefox launched using an installer that came with Ubuntu. Where did it install it to?
[09:03] <tuskernini> disasm, i have metwork manager installed
[09:03] <xiko> belts use synaptic
[09:03] <xiko> beltz: use in terminal: sudo synaptic
[09:03] <infidel> beltz, open a terminal and type xchat
[09:03] <alsdjaksdkl> !ati
[09:03] <tuskernini> disasm, danm... now the connection is gone... !!!
[09:03] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:03] <disasm> tuskernini: try iwconfig <iface> essid "essid"
[09:04] <EdgEy> i'm having problems with audio input with alsa
[09:04] <disasm> tuskernini: then try iwconfig and see if it has link quality, if that works dhclient <iface>
[09:04] <beltz> Ok thanks, I'm gonna toy with synaptic now
[09:04] <soundray> beltz: here's some background material:
[09:04] <beltz> ok
[09:04] <soundray> !software | beltz
[09:04] <ubotu> beltz: 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
[09:04] <Zaggynl> !envy
[09:05] <ubotu> 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
[09:05] <disasm> EdgEy: audio input can be a pain, what in particular are you doing?
[09:05] <EdgEy> if i use alsamixer to enable mic output through speakers i can hear that fine, however no apps work, for example wine has no 'Wave in' in winecfg
[09:05] <beltz> Thanks soundray
[09:05] <disasm> why... nvidia and ati drivers are a piece of cake to install already...
[09:05] <EdgEy> um, the Sounds popup in system just gives an error if i try to 'test' input
[09:05] <timon> When i want to install Ubuntu, the installation freeze...when i press strg+alt+f1 and type "dpkg reconfigure ..." than i can configure it...at least, when i install the colordepth for the monitor, the window get smaler and i can type something...when i type "sudo reboot" the reboot freeze also..
[09:06] <beltz> By the way, in terms of system requirements and in comparison to Windows XP "classic", how much does Ubuntu requires? What about Xubuntu? I'm on a semi-old machine so I'm wondering if Xubuntu might not be better for me.
[09:06] <EdgEy> gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Resource busy or not available
[09:06] <phoenix24> timon: what is "strg" key ?
[09:06] <EdgEy> beltz, if you have anything more than 256mb, regular ubuntu should be fine
[09:06] <ikonia> beltz: the book says 192 recommended ram
[09:06] <disasm> EdgEy: are you trying to capture the input, or have it outputted to you speakers?
[09:06] <EdgEy> disasm, capture the input
[09:06] <PwcrLinux> hello, how I can back up the bookmark and profiles in my firefox into USB flash drive before install new fresh LTS?
[09:07] <disasm> EdgEy: run alsamixer, hit F4, choose your capture input
[09:07] <xiko> if i have multiples partitions with different OS is it enough to flag the boot on gparted to boot my linux again?
[09:07] <disasm> EdgEy: I usually need to crank the volume up a bit, if you're using jack, run qjackctl and set it up, if not, open your application capturing, and record
[09:07] <EdgEy> using an Audigy2, it seems from alsa topics on google you don't choose an input, just set volumes
[09:07] <soundray> PwcrLinux: if there's enough space, backup your /home and all subdirectories
[09:07] <beltz> Ok, because im on 2100+XP with 512 megs of RAM, and all I really care about is a very very very responsive OS that let's me put keyboard shortcuts on everything.
[09:08] <EdgEy> disasm, i'm not getting quiet/muted input, i'm getting errors there is no input at all
[09:08] <soundray> PwcrLinux: it's also useful to keep a copy of /etc for reference
[09:08] <EdgEy> beltz 512mb ram is enough easily, that's not an 'old' machine
[09:08] <disasm> EdgEy: can you get your line in outputed to the speakers fine?
[09:08] <EdgEy> disasm, yes, if i raise Mic volume in output
[09:08] <beltz> its from 2001! its prehistoric!
[09:09] <PwcrLinux> soundray: not the whole home dir, I already copied xchat files to USB flash drive, where I can find the bookmarks and profiles from the firefox?
[09:09] <EdgEy> beltz, lol
[09:09] <beltz> *throws a t-rex bone at his machine*
[09:09] <Se23> anyone erase my cd-rw ps
[09:09] <Alam_Ubuntu> ~/.mozilla/firefox/
[09:09] <astan> where would i stuff additional flags that i want passed to mysqld on startup, in ubuntu?
[09:09] <userprime> ChaKy: CUJES AKO TREBA NEKOGA IZBACITI IZBACI SEBE
[09:09] <soundray> PwcrLinux: probably in $HOME/.mozilla
[09:09] <slippyr4> i think they should rename Feisty Fawn as Feisty Ferret. Would be much better
[09:09] <EdgEy> beltz, i only have 232mb ram used at the moment, i'm not sure if that's everything or only user processes such as firefox/etc
[09:09] <disasm> EdgEy: i'm not too familiar with your card, I'd be surprised if you didn't have to capture the input somehow though
[09:09] <paradroid> Hi everyone.
[09:10] <beltz> If I get this right, "root" is not an actual user account I can log into, it's just something I switch to on the command line for some tasks once in a while?
[09:10] <paradroid> Is there anyone here using Mozilla Sunbird als calendaring application?
[09:10] <EdgEy> disasm, i think it mixes all inputs together and you just set volumes
[09:10] <userprime> sorry guys fot the caps lock...
[09:10] <soundray> PwcrLinux: but it's worth checking ls $HOME/.*firefox* -- depending on the history of your machine
[09:10] <EdgEy> disasm, if i press F4 in alsamixer, how should I be choosing an input? space, enter don't seem to do anything
[09:10] <mindstate> beltz, u can log into root but it isnt smart
[09:10] <Bnirkow> i have problem with install an fglrx drivers
[09:10] <Chadarius> beltz: Yep... although you can run something like "sudo su" and you can be "root" in the shell
[09:11] <EdgEy> beltz, you can use a command called 'sudo' for commands that require admin
[09:11] <beltz> 0k
[09:11] <soundray> Chadarius: please don't recommend sudo su
[09:11] <disasm> EdgEy: I use space, and the it sets CAPTUR above that device
[09:11] <EdgEy> so you don't have to actually log in as root though you can if you want to
[09:11] <soundray> Chadarius: sudo -i is sane
[09:11] <soundray> !sudo | beltz
[09:11] <ubotu> beltz: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:11] <beltz> By the way, to install Xchat, the site said that I just had to log in my terminal and type a few commands to compile it. Does ubuntu comes with a compiler by default? Because it gave me an error when I pasted the commands..
[09:11] <Bnirkow> when i type fglrxinfo in terminal i see: Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0"
[09:11] <soundray> !b-e | beltz
[09:11] <ubotu> beltz: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[09:11] <PwcrLinux> soundray: I found the hidden dir of mozilla
[09:12] <beltz> Thanks all
[09:12] <EdgEy> beltz, you dont have to compile Xchat
[09:12] <jpoe> Does anyone know if there is an easy way within *ubuntu to get write access to UFS parititions?  I need to mount a ufs disk image and it says that it was only compiled with read-only support...
[09:12] <ikonia> jpoe: write access isn't supported
[09:12] <z4kO> hello world!
[09:12] <beltz> I ended up installing xchat from the ubuntu add/remove thing as well. So now im reading on packages to figure what happened :)
[09:12] <EdgEy> ubuntu comes with a package manager, unless you need the very latest xchat you can use a command that will download precompiled packages
[09:12] <mindstate> soundray, im still kind of confused on what building from source is best used to do? can u maybe elaborate on it a bit?
[09:13] <beltz> Should I use the Xchat for gnome, or just xchat?
[09:13] <ikonia> edgy we knkow this
[09:13] <ikonia> know even
[09:13] <jpoe> ikonia: hurm, ok, thanks ..
[09:13] <mindstate> beltz, xchat
[09:13] <paradroid> beltz: I like the "classic" XChat" better. ;)
[09:13] <EdgEy> mindstate, programs you might not be able to find in the official repositories, or if you need later versions
[09:13] <soundray> mindstate: erm... can you rephrase that?
[09:13] <z4kO> y'a des francais ici?
[09:13] <beltz> oui z4kO
[09:13] <beltz> mais seulement des newbies :)
[09:13] <ikonia> !fr >z4k0
[09:13] <z4kO> salut beltz!
[09:13] <mindstate> soundray, sorry lol..whats building from source best for? like why would i want to build from source
[09:13] <ikonia> !fr >z4ko
[09:13] <betatux> Anyone got Gaim working with OSD ?
[09:13] <EdgEy> i'm contemplating grabbing the latest alsa to compile, but i don't want to do it if it'll break updating using dpkg
[09:14] <z4kO> moi aussi suis newbee
[09:14] <z4kO> beltz! tu connais openinfreno?
[09:15] <soundray> mindstate: 1) if no .deb package is available, 2) if you want to squeeze the last bit of performance from your hardware with hardware-specific compiler optimizations, 3) if you have written the software yourself :)
[09:15] <beltz> non, pm moi car je penses qu'on est pas sens crire en francais ici
[09:15] <_`XeOn_> !dvd

[09:15] <lightseed> can someone explain this command as found in the chroot thing? sudo sed -i s/dapper/breezy/g /var/chroot/etc/apt/sources.list #point apt-get to the right release
[09:15] <z4kO> sorry, i 'll try english
[09:15] <IdleOne> z4kO, svp utilise /join #ubuntu-fr si vous allez parler en francais
[09:15] <z4kO> do you know it?
[09:16] <lightseed> i dont know what that command does
[09:16] <soundray> lightseed: replace all occurrences of the string "dapper" in /etc/sources.list with the string "breezy"
[09:16] <mindstate> soundray, ahhh i see ..thanks dude
[09:16] <paradroid> Sorry to be a nuisance. Anyone using Mozilla Sunbird?
[09:16] <soundray> lightseed: doesn't make much sense that way round, I think...
[09:16] <lightseed> soundray: : so i just change breezy to edgy?
[09:17] <beltz> z4kO:  no i don't know inferno... im new to linux
[09:17] <z4kO> anyone using aircrack?
[09:17] <apecat> lightseed: no, you must upgrade to dapper frist
[09:17] <IdleOne> lightseed, better to go from breezy to dapper then edgy
[09:17] <soundray> lightseed: no, you have to go via dapper, or do a fresh install
[09:17] <imbecile> hey guys i cant boot up in one of my boxes due to video card info.. where are the settings stored?
[09:17] <apecat> *first
[09:17] <soundray> lightseed: but the command you gave is for downgrading dapper to breezy (which will fail horribly)
[09:17] <WaZ> imbecile: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:17] <apecat> imbecile: you can't boot up at all or won't X/gdm start
[09:17] <disasm> lightseed: why don't you debootstrap edgy and skip the upgrading if it's just in a chroot?
[09:18] <Nemes> How can I stop Rhythmbox starting every time I connect the iPod?
[09:18] <soundray> lightseed: it only makes sense in the order "s/breezy/dapper/g"
[09:18] <imbecile> thanks guys
[09:18] <Se23> i can't erase a simply cd-rw , 1 hour elapsed and still cannot erase it
[09:18] <Se23> lol
[09:18] <EdgEy> disasm, seems i might have found my answer
[09:18] <Alam_Ubuntu> Nemes, System, Pref, Removable Drives and Media
[09:18] <paradroid> Nemes: You can set that in Alt+F1 -> System -> Settings
[09:18] <disasm> EdgEy: reallly, what is it?
[09:18] <lightseed> i dont have a clue about it
[09:18] <EdgEy> not like you care but, heh
[09:18] <PwcrLinux> lightseed: You need to upgrade to dapper or ordering online to get CD, the breezy change to dapper would go beserked or segfaults..
[09:18] <z4kO> what is the best switch edgy eft, breezy and drapper?

[09:19] <disasm> EdgEy: ah k ;-) I was actually googling for it atm ;-) glad you solved it

[09:19] <EdgEy> :p
[09:19] <Nemes> Great, it's done.
[09:20] <apecat> z4kO: what exaclty do you mean?
[09:20] <soundray> Strom_C: wow, that sounds really straightforward. Where did you find that solution?
[09:20] <tommie_> noob here, need some help with wireless & wpa
[09:20] <disasm> EdgEy: just get the latest kernel and compile it, alsa's built in to kernel since 2.6

[09:20] <ubotu> tommie_: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[09:20] <Strom_C> soundray: i didnt really find it anywhere; I got to the point where I said "I'm probably overcomplicating the problem" and just started trying really basic stuff
[09:20] <Se23> The CD-RW's i'm trying to erase have been writen in Windows. So they're not write accessable
[09:21] <EdgEy> disasm, i have the latest kernel or, at least a kernel newer than alsa 1.0.14rc1
[09:21] <soundray> Strom_C: congratulations
[09:21] <Strom_C> the xorg.conf that's in the livecd filesystem after you boot is from dexconf
[09:21] <guerby> hi, there are many vnc servers in synaptic, any recommandation?
[09:21] <EdgEy> 2.6.20
[09:21] <Strom_C> soundray: thanks, though if it seems the installer does it some other way, please let me know
[09:21] <disasm> EdgEy: hmmm... you should be fine there I'd assume
[09:22] <EdgEy> i'm going to give compiling alsa a go, fingers crossed anyway.. heh
[09:22] <disasm> EdgEy: well, good luck
[09:22] <soundray> Strom_C: I will let you know if I find something
[09:22] <javiolo> my SoundMAX card doesnt work, I searched on the forums but it says that should be solved in this version, any help ?

[09:30] <EdgEy> meh i don't even understand what i'm doing... -_-
[09:30] <beltz> I just installed Ubuntu - is there a way to set a keyboard shortcut to switch between workspaces?
[09:30] <gizmo_the_great1> ompaul: userbase = 1 (me!) - network is 4 machines and two laptops connected via 1 ethernet and wireless Router. Never more than two people accessing

[09:30] <timon> I have a XServer problem, so i cant install ubuntu...can somebody help me?
[09:30] <apecat> beltz: there already is
[09:30] <beltz> apecat,  what is it?
[09:30] <ompaul> gizmo_the_great1, no would not use it unless you were learning it for work purposes
[09:30] <EdgEy> beltz ctrl+alt+cursor keys
[09:31] <beltz> Thank you!
[09:31] <gizmo_the_great1> ompaul: i was wanting to create a single storage space (of half a terabyte) but my IDE adapter is not reliable as a RAID device (it's not a true hardware RAID interface)
[09:31] <entropy> i have a question about the update manager
[09:32] <gizmo_the_great1> ompaul: also interested from a work point of view
[09:32] <ompaul> gizmo_the_great1, then that is even more reason not to span stuff across it
[09:32] <daviey> !ask | entropy
[09:32] <ubotu> entropy: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:32] <gizmo_the_great1> ompaul: you don't think lvm would cope with it very well?
[09:33] <entropy> okay....i just need to know if its possible to back up the packages so on does not have to download them again in the event of installing on another system or reinstalling ubuntu
[09:33] <timon> When i want to isntall Ubuntu the install. freeze everytime and when i press strg-alt-f1 and type "typk reconfiguratin....." i can cinfig it but when i set the color depth the configuration stops and it says "xserver-xorg postints warning: overwritting possibly-customized configuration files; back up in...." PLS help me
[09:33] <ompaul> gizmo_the_great1, you have said your hardware is not great so then I would not span data across it in the hope that single disks would survive rather than ones with data spanning disk after disk

[09:33] <apecat> timon: are you using the live cd installer?
[09:36] <rafik> beryl
[09:36] <quaal> how do you uninstall something you installed with make install
[09:36] <guerby> dyrne, do you know how to run gdm (or something like that) in vnc4server to have a real desktop?

[09:37] <gizmo_the_great1> What FTP client do people recommend for FTPing to secure FTP servers that use sFTP, SSL over SSL\TLS etc? I am having no end of trouble with gFTP (works with normal FTP but hardly ever managed to connect via SSL\TLS etc)
[09:37] <timon> apecat: i try it with the "desktop cd" and "64bit ver. cd"... also try 6.06 and 6.10...everytime the same error
[09:37] <entropy> so nobody knows it its possible?
[09:37] <apecat> timon: if possible, try with the alternate cd
[09:37] <pradeep_> I did a chmod on my /usr/bin/*, now my sudo <cmd> gives me a 'sudo: must be setuid root' .. how do I fix this?
[09:37] <apecat> if you have stability issues
[09:37] <timon> apecat: i think i have the alternate...where i can find the alternate?
[09:37] <elyon225> !find mtp
[09:37] <ubotu> Found: clamsmtp, esmtp, esmtp-run, hotsmtp, libesmtp-dev (and 18 others)
[09:38] <apecat> timon: it is a text-mode installer
[09:38] <guerby> !find vnc
[09:38] <ubotu> Found: libvncauth-dev, libvncauth0, vnc-common, xvncviewer, directvnc (and 18 others)
[09:38] <apecat> as in text menus
[09:38] <daviey> gizmo_the_great1, Is the server's certificate valid?
[09:38] <gizmo_the_great1> daviey: how does one determine that?
[09:39] <timon> apecat: text-mode installer? i never hear about that...can u give pls the link where i can download it?
[09:39] <daviey> gizmo_the_great1, if it's good; then you can happily 'mount' the ftp/ssl into a folder
[09:39] <beltz> j #xchat
[09:40] <beltz> Is it easy to have both ubuntu and xubuntu installed at once without livecd so that I can compare their performance?
[09:40] <timon> Where can i found the text-mode-installer for ubuntu?
[09:40] <gizmo_the_great1> daviey: the server is a VPS that myself and a friend in Australia share. He has sFTP or SSL\TLS encryption on it. It's trusted and when accessing using Windows I get the 'Certificate check' message when Remote Desktopping, but no such prompt with FTP

[09:41] <teratorn> anyone know how to setup HOSTAP on ubuntu or otherwise configure an ubuntu box as a wifi Access Point?
[09:42] <paradroid> Is anyone using this "cross-platform calendar application"? ;)
[09:42] <daviey> gizmo_the_great1, if you have SFTP, use that!  ftp/ssl is quite buggy on linux at the moment.  SFTP can be mounted either in fstab or in gnome's "Connect to server"
[09:42] <apecat> timon: 32 bit version ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/linux/ubuntu/releases/edgy/ubuntu-6.10-alternate-i386.iso

[09:43] <daviey> paradroid, i have used them both on win32 and ubuntu - but not shared files; sorry
[09:43] <speedwolf> I've really borked my samba sharing stuff, need help from someone who knows what's what. Config here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6742/
[09:43] <apecat> timon: if you want to use certain binary only/nonfree frograms you are much better off with the 32 bit version
[09:43] <timon> thank u apecat, i hope that kill the problem ;)
[09:44] <speedwolf> timon: I'm on 64bit hardware and had no end of troubles, had to install 32 instead and has been much better
[09:44] <paradroid> My problem is that Sunbird won't run without sudo.
[09:44] <skarface> sudo is never asking me for a password. I checked the forums and the solutions there (timeout, etc) don't seem to have any effect. any ideas?
[09:44] <b0o> could someone do me a quick favor and run a 'group adminuser' so I can see what default groups I've messed up
[09:44] <quaal> how do you uninstall something you installed with make install
[09:44] <elyon225> Is anyone here familiar with MTP support with Amarok?  I have the new version of Amarok installed and mtp-detect sees my player just fine, but Amarok does not.
[09:45] <dyrne> quaal: well.. you can reinstall to another path like mkdir ~/local; then ./configure --prefix=/home/username/local;make install;  then look in ~/local and anything in there remove from /usr/ or wherever it installed it.. might be a better way to track what it did but..
[09:45] <Unox> apecat: are you from Norway and call yourself "Apekatt"?
[09:46] <mindstate> does anyone use blogspot.com? if so has anyone been experiencing any lag on the site? using firefox
[09:46] <quaal> dyrne, ok.. thanks
[09:47] <teratorn> can any normally supported wireless card be used for hostap, or does there need to be special hardware or driver support?
[09:47] <mEck0_> Hi
[09:47] <mEck0_> is there a nice secure cryptprogram for gnome?

[10:04] <ghatak> Hello guys, i am using fluxbox on ubuntu Edgy, when ever i restart my system, the screen resolution falls back 1280x1024, everytime i have to login and set it using gnome-control center. I have tried to check the box "Make this my default resolution" but on next restart it falls back again. What do i have to do to keep the resolution that i want ?
[10:05] <finalbeta> What's a good text editor for GNOME that allows my to save to UTF-16? Gedit seems to not want to write correctly.
[10:05] <mzanfardino> I have my installation CD ISO file, but no way to burn it.  How can I configure APT to read either: A) the ISO file or B) a directory containing the expanded ISO instead of constantly asking me for the CD?
[10:05] <AlexC_> chris sudo apt-get clean   sudo apt-get check
[10:05] <underdog5004> got it, disasm , It's in /etc/firefox/firefoxrc
[10:06] <HymnToLife> mzanfardino, sudo apt-cdrom add and instead of inserting the CD, mount the ISO to /cdrom
[10:06] <sidny4> what package(s) do I need to install to get KDE on instad of gnome?
[10:06] <chris> AlexC_: same error.. :(
[10:06] <mzanfardino> HymnToLife: let me try this.
[10:06] <AlexC_> sidny4: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[10:06] <dmota> how do I get scripts to run during bootup? Is putting it in /etc/init.d enough?
[10:07] <AlexC_> dmota: to have them start when you login, you can add them to your session. System->Prefs->Session->Start Up
[10:07] <disasm> DemisM: update-rc.d <script> defaults
[10:07] <posingaspopular> sidny4: sudo apt-get install kde
[10:07] <posingaspopular> iirc
[10:07] <mzanfardino> HymnToLife: can you direct me to a resource that would describe mounting the ISO as a device?
[10:07] <disasm> AlexC_: init.d scripts usually aren't ran on login
[10:07] <AlexC_> posingaspopular:  sidny4  nope. sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[10:08] <userprime> msg nickserv register password
[10:08] <posingaspopular> AlexC_: thanks
[10:08] <AlexC_> disasm: I know init.d scripts aren't run on login, anything added to you're session is.
[10:08] <posingaspopular> i always forget that one
[10:08] <AlexC_> :P
[10:08] <chris> AlexC_: is there a way to force the program to be removed?
[10:08] <posingaspopular> what's the difference between apt-get and aptitude then?
[10:08] <DemisM> thank you disasm
[10:08] <HymnToLife> mzanfardino, mount -o loop /path/to/image.iso /cdrom
[10:09] <disasm> chris: -f works sometimes, sometimes you have to use dpkg to force remove stuff
[10:09] <AlexC_> posingaspopular: I prefer aptitude for 'larger' applications as it handles dependencies better,
[10:09] <disasm> chris: what package?
[10:09] <userundefined> posingaspopular: they're basically the same, but aptitude remembers the dependecies and reports them when you uninstall stuff.  but apt-get autoclean does this too now basically.
[10:09] <chris> disasm: armagetronad
[10:09] <posingaspopular> ah okay
[10:09] <mzanfardino> HymnToLife: thank  you.  trying this now
[10:09] <Terminus-> posingaspopular: aptitude has better dependency tracking, most apparent when removing/purging packages.
[10:09] <daviey> posingaspopular, aptitude also cleans up when you remove packages whereas "apt-get remove" doesn't
[10:10] <Terminus-> mzanfardino: mount -t iss9660 -o loop foo.iso /mnt/iso
[10:10] <mzanfardino> Terminus-: what's the difference between your command and Hymms?
[10:10] <disasm> chris: try dpkg --purge --force armagetron
[10:10] <Terminus-> mzanfardino: the difference is, i didn't see his reply. =D
[10:11] <Terminus-> mzanfardino: should work the same though.
[10:11] <underdog5004> exit
[10:11] <mzanfardino> Terminus-: mount -o loop /path/to/image.iso /cdrom
[10:11] <Narqulie> Umm. I'm a total noob with Ubuntu (~1h of use :D) I can't 'make' anything to be installed.. What am I doing wrong?
[10:11] <Terminus-> mzanfardino: like i said, it should work the same. the difference is, i just specified the FS type manually.
[10:11] <AlexC_> Narqulie: what are you trying to compile?
[10:11] <ikonia> Narqulie: building from source is not for new users
[10:12] <fransmanM> is there a tool available who does statistics for a apt repository's
[10:12] <Narqulie> Well.. Anything really.
[10:12] <mzanfardino> Terminus-: ok, I was just curious.  There are several ways of doing things and I'm trying to learn best practives
[10:12] <chris> disasm: it says: dpkg: unknown force/refuse option `armagetronad'
[10:12] <disasm> mzanfardino: the difference is he specified the type (which mount would autodetect in the other one) also, he mistyped iso9660 so his technically would not work
[10:12] <ikonia> Narqulie: building from source is not for new users
[10:12] <disasm> chris: one sec
[10:12] <Nergar> hi
[10:12] <AlexC_> Narqulie: best off to check in the official Ubutnu repos as compile software is not for new people, like ikonia said.
[10:12] <Narqulie> I guess so, but tell me how to install Gtk 2 without doing it and I'll be really glad :D
[10:12] <chris> disasm: k
[10:13] <Nergar> can anyone help me configure FF to use kaffeine plugin?
[10:13] <mzanfardino> Terminus-: speaking of best practices: where would be a logical place to put the ISO file?  I suppose only root needs access to it, so I guess /home/root, but I'd like some input...
[10:13] <AlexC_> Narqulie: GTK2 is already installed ...
[10:13] <mzanfardino> disasm: thanks for the input! :)
[10:13] <Narqulie> What?! :D
[10:13] <AlexC_> Narqulie: why do you think it's not?
[10:13] <disasm> mzanfardino: whats the iso for?
[10:13] <EdgEy> um, what driver does 'Mic capture' use in ubuntu's control panel?
[10:13] <Terminus-> mzanfardino: well, i usually put all my ISOs in a separate data parition and then mount them in dirs under /mnt
[10:14] <Narqulie> Well.. :D
[10:14] <EdgEy> i can get gnome's sound recorder to work, but i need input in wine
[10:14] <disasm> chris: sorry, dpkg --purge --force-all armagetron
[10:14] <mzanfardino> disasm: ubuntu source cd.  don't have the cd and can't burn it atm, but I have the iso so I want apt to read from iso instead of cd...
[10:14] <Narqulie> Um.. I'll just go back into my corner now.. ^_^
[10:14] <paradroid> When I start Mozilla Sunbird (0.3.1) on Ubuntu Edgy as regular user I get a seg fault. Sudo makes Sunbird run without trouble. Any ideas?
[10:14] <disasm> mzanfardino: /opt would probably be a good neutral place to throw it
[10:15] <mzanfardino> thank you
[10:15] <royel> mzanfardino: anytime you mount a new device, you should always create a new directory for that mount, trying to mount to a directory that already has a purpose can lead to big trouble.
[10:15] <jellobean> is it possible to install adobe flash player on a 64-bit version of edgy?
[10:15] <disasm> paradroid: move/delete any sunbird configs you have (look in .sunbird or .mozilla/sunbird I don't have it installed, so nut sure)
[10:16] <paradroid> disasm: Has been done. No success. :/
[10:16] <disasm> jellobean: yes, but not simple, you need to install a 32 bit version of firefox to use flash from within firefox
[10:16] <mzanfardino> royel: ok, so I'm going to create a directory in /mnt for this specific ISO.  I'm going to copy the ISO to a neutral place, such as /opt (though for some odd reason I haven't a /opt), and then mount the iso to my /mnt directory I've just created... that sound about right?
[10:16] <rojo^> jellobean: you can try nspluginwrapper, but I didn't have much luck with it.  I ended up debootstrapping an /i386 32-bit system and installing 32-bit firefox
[10:16] <disasm> paradroid: lemme check it out
[10:16] <chris> disasm: said: dpkg - warning, overriding problem because --force enabled: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal. And then more errors were listed
[10:17] <jellobean> it looks like thats what i am going to have to do
[10:17] <paradroid> disasm: That would be so nice. I mean it. I have been fighting with Sunbird ever since I moved to Edgy.
[10:17] <javiolo> my SoundMAX card doesnt work, I searched on the forums but it says that should be solved in this version, any help ?
[10:17] <disasm> paradroid: how'd you install sunbird? tarball from site?
[10:17] <Strom_C> What is the exact procedure that ubuntu uses to auto-determine video settings when starting the livecd, and is it possible to invoke that procedure post-install?
[10:17] <chris> disasm: should i try to install it again using the auto package?
[10:17] <chris> disasm: and then remove it?
[10:18] <disasm> chris: yes, try that
[10:18] <royel> mzanfardino: yeah, except the part bout copying it to /opt, if it's already on your drives as an .iso image, why would you need another copy of it taking up more space, or is it on some other device. In either case, what you suggested will work :)
[10:18] <Tzadok> is it possible to use grub to start the same install of ubuntu with different kernels for different computers?
[10:18] <chris> disasm: okie dokie
[10:18] <paradroid> disasm: I used the localized German version. It gives me a bz2 archive which I extracted to /opt where it makes a directory sunbird
[10:18] <paradroid> disasm: I then make a sym-link in /usr/local/bin

[10:19] <Narqulie> How, or even Can I use NTFS formatted hd's on ubuntu? My ex-windows's music Hd is in ntfs with like 10g's of music, and would really suck to have to format it.. How can I make ubuntu to even see it?
[10:19] <linuxuser2908> whas5t the idle channel
[10:19] <Geepers> assistance!
[10:19] <paradroid> disasm: Anyway, makes no difference even if I extract the archive to my home directory and run sunbird from there.
[10:19] <mzanfardino> royel: good point.  I currently have it in /var/lib/vmware (so I can mount it as a cd device for my vm's).  I guess I could just mount it from there to my /mnt directory
[10:19] <Tzadok> cant u use ntfs use
[10:19] <Tzadok> i think its a tarball sumwhere
[10:19] <royel> mzanfardino: that would be the method I would chose :)
[10:19] <linuxuser2908> whats the idle channel
[10:19] <Geepers> assistance
[10:19] <profx> how do I check which version of apache and php I have?

[10:20] <stouset> I'm having problems with my USB KVM. ScrLk+SrcLk should switch, but it doesn't work when I'm in X. Dropping to a virtual term lets me switch, but I'd really prefer to be able to do it without.
[10:20] <tonyyarusso> !ohmy | Geepers
[10:20] <ubotu> Geepers: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[10:20] <Flannel> profx: plenty of ways, the easiest might be to print out a phpinfo
[10:20] <Nergar> can anyone help me configure FF to use kaffeine plugin?
[10:20] <stouset> I've mucked around in /etc/X11/xkb for a bit looking for anything relevant to Scroll Lock, but I haven't found anything that pointed me in the direction of it yet.
[10:20] <Tzadok> !is it possible to use grub to start the same install of ubuntu with different kernels for different computers?!
[10:20] <javiolo> profx phpinfo()
[10:20] <mzanfardino> royel: should I think add the mount command to fstab so it can always be mounted this way?
[10:21] <Tzadok> is it possible to use grub to start the same install of ubuntu with different kernels for different computers?
[10:21] <royel> mzanfardino: now your thinking :)
[10:21] <stouset> xev shows that X _is_ recognizing keycode 78, keysym Scroll_Lock being hit
[10:21] <profx> are you <Flannel> and javiolo sending my pms (sorry changed my client colors around )
[10:21] <profx> ?
[10:21] <linuxuser2908> whast the IDLE CHANNEL
[10:21] <ikonia> Tzadok: we talked about this earlier
[10:21] <Flannel> Tzadok: for different computers?
[10:21] <profx> me*
[10:21] <Flannel> profx: no, theyre just highlights in the channel (using your name in the text)
[10:21] <javiolo> profx I didnt send you any pm
[10:21] <profx> k
[10:21] <profx> just checking
[10:22] <Tzadok> i know we talked about it later, but i disconnected or sumtin
[10:22] <ikonia> Tzadok: and I explained it wasn't possible
[10:22] <Tzadok> and couldnt see responses
[10:22] <linuxuser2908> Idle
[10:22] <stouset> Anyone here gotten Scroll Lock and their KVM to work, under X?
[10:22] <Tzadok> after u said it was unwise
[10:22] <linuxuser2908> idle
[10:22] <profx> so my phpinfo(); doesnt work because I dont have php hooked up with apache
[10:22] <cntb> tzadok hi
[10:22] <cntb> !il
[10:22] <ikonia> Tzadok: yup very unwise
[10:22] <ubotu>         :
[10:22] <ubotu> /join #ubuntu-il
[10:22] <Tzadok> cntb hih
[10:22] <profx> which was clearly stated in my question, was it not?
[10:22] <Flannel> profx: no, it wasnt.
[10:23] <profx> well, it is now :)
[10:23] <profx> all the tutorials go quite in depth...
[10:23] <javiolo> my SoundMAX card doesnt work, I searched on the forums but it says that should be solved in this version, any help ?
[10:23] <profx> i just want to know how to add php into the apache .conf
[10:24] <Flannel> profx: oh.  That's an entirely different question
[10:24] <Tzadok> Ikonia: so why doesnt it work? Would it work if i used a live linux?
[10:24] <Flannel> profx: install libapache2-mod-php5
[10:24] <profx> well, from that I can find the version of apache and php
[10:24] <profx> as su?
[10:24] <ikonia> Tzadok: because you'd need to install multiple versions
[10:24] <Flannel> profx: sudo, not su.
[10:24] <finalbeta> !paste
[10:24] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[10:24] <profx> sudo?
[10:24] <Flannel> profx: but, the package manager can tell you your versions too, anyway.
[10:24] <royel> !sudo | profx
[10:24] <ubotu> profx: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[10:24] <Flannel> profx: yes, use sudo.  Ubuntu doesn't use the root account
[10:24] <Tzadok> Ikonia: so only one version can use a given kernel?
[10:25] <ikonia> the kernel version can change - but the arch can't
[10:25] <profx> ah, so sudo in ubuntu and su in other flavors
[10:25] <Tzadok> Ikonia: arch?
[10:25] <javiolo> or sudo -s
[10:25] <paradroid> disasm: Are you giving the sunbird stuff a try? No pressure, just asking. ;)
[10:25] <ikonia> Tzadok: and ubuntu isn't portable - you can't install to one machine and move to another
[10:25] <Tzadok> Ikonia: sry im quite a newb
[10:25] <profx> so ill have to use libapache in urpmi instead I imagine
[10:25] <ikonia> Tzadok: arch = x86 x86-64 ppc sparc etc
[10:25] <Flannel> profx: flavors?  All *ubuntu uses sudo, unless by flavors you mean distros
[10:25] <royel> profx: other flavors can do sudo as well, but it's used by default in ubunut :)
[10:25] <{Nathan}> When I run the device manager, it just flashes and closes itself.
[10:25] <Tzadok> Ikonia oh i c
[10:26] <profx> ok, is there any way I can find the version of apache and php without using phpinfo()  ?
[10:26] <mzanfardino> royel: so if I mount with: mount -o loop /var/lib/vmware/Virtual\ Machines/kubuntu-6.10-i386.iso /mnt/kubuntu-cd/ what would the entry in fstab be? (sorry, hate to make you do all the work...)
[10:26] <javiolo> profx go to synaptic...
[10:26] <profx> whats that?
 is it possible to use grub to start the same install of ubuntu with different kernels for different computers? << interesting . why you have the idea ?
[10:26] <javiolo> sudo synaptic
[10:26] <disasm> profx: yeah, dpkg -l|egrep "apache|php"
[10:26] <Flannel> profx: you hvae a GUI or not?
[10:26] <Flannel> javiolo: gksudo synaptic
[10:26] <profx> hmm
[10:26] <javiolo> yep
[10:26] <profx> thanks anyways
[10:27] <royel> mzanfardino: sec
[10:27] <wortel> is it possible to merge my root partition with another partition, without losing what's currently on root part?
[10:27] <javiolo> my SoundMAX card doesnt work, I searched on the forums but it says that should be solved in this version, any help ?
[10:27] <disasm> profx: if it's cutting off version, set env var COLUMNS to something big like 500
[10:27] <Flannel> profx: that command, dpkg -l, lists all your installed packages, then searching for php/apache will display the packages (And give you a rough, apache2/php5 idea), if you want a subversion, you'll need to check the package details, apt-cache show [package] 
[10:27] <profx> nah, your responses are ubuntu dependant
[10:28] <Tzadok> cntb: well, i dont have a laptop, and im almost always around computers, and was hoping that i could take a portable usb hd, and then use grub to boot different kernels for the different archs
[10:28] <profx> thanks though
[10:28] <mzanfardino> royel: thanks
[10:28] <Flannel> profx: Er... this is #ubuntu
[10:28] <profx> is it?
[10:28] <profx> didnt realize
[10:28] <LordElph> anyone know how I can get a .forward file working - using postfix at the moment on Dapper Drake...
[10:28] <GreenD> Hey, for the question I ask realize I have no AGP port...
[10:28] <Christopher> Hi, I setup my mysql server, but I can't connect to it. Apache/phpmysql work fine, and the database user is the default with password.
[10:28] <Tzadok> cntb: but Ikonia has told me that it isnt possible, one becuase u would need different installs for different archetectures, and because ubuntu isnt portable....
[10:29] <GreenD> I found an old PCI radeon I want to add to my box, will I be able to set up dual monitors easily with it?
[10:29] <GreenD> On ubuntu of course.
[10:29] <Flannel> profx: if you want a version agnostic approach, again, "apache2 -v" displays the version for apache, php requires you to have a CLI client for php installed to do that.  Otherwise you'd be grepping source files, I suppose.
[10:29] <Taime1> i unsinstalled keyring manager.... but when a wireless network requires a WEP key, it STILL prompts me for the keyring password. how do i disable this?
[10:29] <disasm> LordElph: a user .forward i presume?
[10:29] <LordElph> disasm: yes
[10:29] <betatux_> Christopher, you can't connect to the mysql server using phpmyadmin ?
[10:29] <Christopher> phpmyadmin does connect.
[10:29] <mzanfardino> HymnToLife: now that I've mounted my ISO, I'm attempting to use apt-cdrom -d /path/to/mount/point but apt-cdrom just shows me the help screen.  I've ready through the man pages, but I think I'm just dense.  Can you suggest a properly formated command?
[10:30] <Christopher> I can't hit it with anything else though.
[10:30] <profx> is ubuntu linux?
[10:30] <MaximLevitsky> Why dosemu is in muliverse
[10:30] <betatux_> Christopher, not even in shell ?
[10:30] <Flannel> profx: yes, its a linux distribution
[10:30] <royel> mzanfardino: your line in /etc/fstab: /var/lib/vmware/Virtual\ Machines/kubuntu-6.10-i386.iso /mnt/kubuntu-cd iso9660 ro,loop,auto 0 0   -- I think, the space in your original path may give us trouble.
[10:30] <Christopher> Shell works, I can login.
[10:30] <profx> oh i c
[10:30] <disasm> LordElph: a user should just create a .forward in homedir, and postfix should respect it by default
[10:30] <profx> then asking linux questions isnt allowed in here?
[10:30] <Christopher> But if I try and connect via Dreamweaver it cant connect.
[10:30] <LordElph> that's what I thought, I guess I've got my file wrong!
[10:31] <HymnToLife> mzanfardino, why don't you just mount your ISO to /cdrom ?
[10:31] <Flannel> profx: You'll get a ubuntu specific response in here.
[10:31] <Taime1> can anyone tell me how to disable keyring from prompting me for a password?
[10:31] <LordElph> disasm, thanks anyway, I'll double check now...
[10:31] <disasm> LordElph: With delivery via the local(8) deliver agent, users can control their own mail delivery by specifying destinations in a file called .forward in their home directories. The syntax of these files is the same as with the local aliases(5) file, except that the left-hand side of the alias (lookup key and colon) are not present.
[10:31] <profx> then asking linux questions isnt allowed in here?
[10:31] <HymnToLife> mzanfardino, if you want to use -d though, it's -d=/path/to/mount/point
[10:31] <pattysiq> hello
[10:32] <disasm> profx: whats the question?
[10:32] <LordElph> ah, think I'm using an exim style one
[10:32] <Taime1> profx: try one of these channles: #linuxhelp #linuxpeople
[10:32] <profx> i just posted it
[10:32] <profx> why do you want me to leave?
[10:32] <Taime1> they are more general
[10:32] <Taime1> im sorry, i didnt mean for it to sound that way
[10:32] <Flannel> profx: I already answered that.  If you want to ask a general apache question, ask in #apache, ask in #php for a general PHP question.  This channel will answer with methods that are ubuntu specific
[10:32] <OracleGD> I found an old PCI radeon I want to add to my box, will I be able to set up dual monitors easily with it? I know how ubuntu has really good support for old video cards like the ones I'm dealing with.
[10:32] <mzanfardino> HymnToLife: well, I was planning to maintain a permanent mount to the ISO and wanted to leave cdrom available for mounting other cd's...
[10:32] <Taime1> i certainly didnt mean it that way
[10:32] <mzanfardino> royel: thank you, I"m checking that now
[10:33] <profx> but your missing the point
[10:33] <Taime1> i was just reccomending some less distro-specific channels
[10:33] <profx> i was asking a linux question in here
[10:33] <Taime1> right
[10:33] <profx> and I thanked u for your response
[10:33] <disasm> profx: are you using ubuntu? if not our answers aren't going to help you
[10:33] <Taime1> and this is for a particulay linux distribution...
[10:33] <profx> then you proceeded to not understand why I asked this question in here
[10:33] <HymnToLife> mzanfardino, as I told you, apt-cdrom -d=/path add
[10:33] <profx> but its a question about something in linux
[10:33] <Taime1> lets hear it again
[10:34] <stouset> profx: Linux is a kernel.
[10:34] <Taime1> some of us didnt catch it
[10:34] <profx> i thought linux was an OS
[10:34] <Taime1> no, its the core of an os
[10:34] <stouset> profx: Debian is an OS. Ubuntu is an OS. Gentoo is an OS. It's a kernel.
[10:34] <mzanfardino> HymnToLife: yes, I know.  I was answering an earlier question (why not mount it to cdrom)
[10:34] <nico8481> hi
[10:34] <disasm> profx: well technically GNU/Linux is the OS, but we won't get into petty arguments ;-0
[10:34] <profx> well thanks for explaining that to me
[10:34] <stouset> disasm: I like petty arguments :\
[10:35] <pattysiq> nico
[10:35] <disasm> stouset: lol ;-) vi > emacs petty arguments?
[10:35] <nico8481> what's the GUI tool to manage services ?
[10:35] <profx> i keep on thanking you guys, and you all keep moving off the topic
[10:35] <profx> thanks again
[10:35] <gleesond> is mythtv in the repositories for edgy?
[10:35] <Taime1> profx, is there a question we might still be able to help you with? or possibly point you in the righ direction of?
[10:35] <Flannel> gleesond: yes, multiverse
[10:35] <stouset> profx: My point was simply that there's rarely such thing as a "linux question". Every distribution does things differently, and the correct answer for one distribution will not be the same as the correct answer for another.
[10:35] <disasm> gleesond: yes, I think it's in universe
[10:35] <ardchoille> disasm: emacs is a nice OS. Hopefully someone will a decent editor for it :)
[10:35] <mjr> cast 3 saucec
[10:35] <mjr> oops :)
[10:35] <abbath> hi
[10:35] <abbath> :D
[10:35] <nico8481> is it somewhere under "system settings"?
[10:36] <mzanfardino> HymnToLife: brilliant!  thank you.  I was missing the keyword "add" (for some reason I didn't think I needed "add" with "-d".  it's added my iso to my sources... nice.
[10:36] <Taime1> stouset nailed it
[10:36] <CarloX> rulez
[10:36] <CarloX> !
[10:36] <disasm> ardchoille: lol ;-) define nice :-P
[10:36] <profx> end of discussion
[10:36] <OracleGD> Where could I go for an answer to my question?
[10:36] <mzanfardino> royel: thank you, I've added the entry to fstab.  I'm not sure how to test it, but I guess I could just boot! :)
[10:36] <nico8481> never mind, found it
[10:36] <redux> hello, is there anyone here familiar with reconstructor?
[10:36] <disasm> ardchoille: i always thought it would be funny if someone wrote a vim plugin for emacs ;-)
[10:36] <royel> mzanfardino: try: mount /mnt/kubuntu-cd
[10:37] <ardchoille> disasm: hahahaha
[10:37] <kelsin> mzanfardino: "mount -a" as root (or with sudo) will try to mount everything in fstab
[10:37] <disasm> redux: what do you mean by reconstructor?
[10:37] <disasm> redux: is that a package?
[10:37] <cntb> Tzadok: what about ubuntu-generic?
[10:37] <EdgEy> when you choose "Mic capture" in ubuntu's sound configuration panel, what driver is being used

[10:38] <Tzadok> cntb: whats ubuntu-generic
[10:38] <disasm> this whole !<something> is confusing, i keep reading it has something, and then realize it's a command after I stare at it for a while, would be the same if it was ~something instead
[10:38] <disasm> i guess that's the discrete math/programmer in me ;-)
[10:39] <Taime1> hehe
[10:39] <royel> mzanfardino: try this
[10:39] <disasm> ok, sunbird finished downloading, now who was I talking to?
[10:39] <Flannel> disasm: you get used to it.  It just gets confusing to people when you use ! as a negation, and people read it as a command ;)
[10:39] <Strom_C> Is this the correct channel for questions about how the livecd configures itself?

[10:40] <Taime1> hahahahaha
[10:40] <Taime1> ive done that
[10:40] <redux> i just finished making my own custom live CD with reconstructor, and i'm getting an error while booting it from qemu
[10:40] <mzanfardino> royel: sorry, did I miss the command or are you still putting it together?
[10:40] <stouset> Flannel: I was about to say that.
[10:40] <xai> is there an explanation of how the new init system works on edgy?  there are no rc*.d files etc.
[10:40] <Flannel> Strom_C: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization/6%2e06
[10:40] <stouset> Flannel: In fact, let me change it for him...

[10:40] <Strom_C> Flannel: I don't want to customize the livecd
[10:40] <redux> Flannel: Thanks!
[10:41] <Flannel> Strom_C: Oh, whats your question?
[10:41] <Strom_C> Flannel: all I want to know is how the livecd auto-configures xorg
[10:41] <stouset> Last chance...anyone here familiar with xkb magic, otherwise known as Getting Scroll-Lock-Activated KVMs to Work under X?
[10:41] <cntb> Tzadok: it is a kernel
[10:41] <cntb> !generic
[10:41] <ubotu> Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed)
[10:41] <disasm> paradroid: sunbird is working here (deutsch german from mozilla.org/projects/sunbird, untarred to /opt symlink /opt/sunbird/sunbird /usr/local/bin/sunbird then run sunbird as normal user comes up fine)
[10:41] <Strom_C> because dpkg-reconfigure -fnoninteractive xserver-xorg followed by dexconf doesn't produce the same results.
[10:41] <stouset> Strom_C: Probably through debconf, if I were to guess randomly.\
[10:42] <cntb> !generic > Tzadok
[10:42] <stouset> Strom_C: Fine, fine, prove me wrong. Geez.
[10:42] <Tzadok> !generic

[10:42] <paradroid> disasm: Thank you for your effort. Too bad for me, though. ;)
[10:42] <Strom_C> stouset: sorry; i've been pulling my hair out over this for HOURS now
[10:42] <disasm> paradroid: create a new user and try it with a fresh user
[10:42] <stouset> Strom_C: I wonder if it's how Debian did/does it...
[10:42] <paradroid> disasm: Right. I'll give it a shot. Thanx.
[10:42] <SoulPropagation> Hey, is Office 2007 supported under 6.10?
[10:43] <stouset> Strom_C: Look around for dexconf
[10:43] <Flannel> SoulPropagation: you mean MS Office?
[10:43] <Strom_C> stouset: uh
[10:43] <Strom_C> I already said dexconf doesn't work in this context
[10:43] <SoulPropagation> Flannel: yeah
[10:43] <stouset> Strom_C: I haven't been following, sorry.
 because dpkg-reconfigure -fnoninteractive xserver-xorg followed by dexconf doesn't produce the same results.
[10:43] <Flannel> SoulPropagation: not natively no.  You'd have to run it through crossover office or something similar
[10:43] <stouset> Strom_C: Just trying to help.
[10:43] <disasm> SoulPropagation: the correct question is why would anyone want to use Office 2007 ;-) try wine, doubt it will be flawless though, could always check appdb.winehq.org
[10:44] <gleesond> Is there something wrong I don't think mythtv is in the repos... I added the umiverse and multiuniverse and updated and apt is still telling me mythtv does not exist
[10:44] <Strom_C> stouset: my apologies; i'm tired and frustrated :)
[10:44] <Flannel> SoulPropagation: The day MS writes a linux port of Office... hell freezes over or something.
[10:44] <SoulPropagation> disasm: Because 2007 kicks serious ass compared to OOo
[10:44] <Taime1> how do i disable keyring manager from prompting me for a keyring password?
[10:44] <Flannel> gleesond: it's "multiverse", but, pastebin your sources.list, I'll take a look

[10:44] <mhika> Hi, I have some real problems installing ubuntu edgy which I have done several times before. I have now downloaded image file and burned 5 fresh copies of it. But I get same problem. On 2 copies I get: "hdc expected null handler on exit" while loading ubuntu live. And on my 3 other copies the installation stops at 87%, where is says "Setting up system clock". System then freezes.
[10:44] <SoulPropagation> Flannel: yeah, I was planning on doing it through wine
[10:45] <disasm> SoulPropagation: lol ;-) but it still doesn't compare to the versatility and power of TeX :-P
[10:45] <mhika> I have done md5sum on image files, and they are ok.
[10:45] <mhika> any ideas?
[10:45] <royel> mzanfardino: I was trying to find verification on that, I am having trouble remembering if thats correct
[10:45] <Tzadok> cntb: but generic only works with x86 does it not? I was hoping that i could make that hd work with x86, x86 64bit, and mac
[10:45] <unity> hi, for some reason, last night, aptitude had me upgrade my ubuntu kernel to something that ends in server-bigiron, not sure why, for some reason, and now the server wont start up anymore. once grub loads the kernel, it said something like, loading..., then five billion lines of some error repeated. something about an unknown interrupt. anyone know why?
[10:45] <mhika> Only ubuntu I have this problem with. Burning other linux distros without problems. Tried different cd burners.
[10:45] <SoulPropagation> disasm: you've got e there. I'd prefer not to program my documents though :p
[10:45] <Flannel> SoulPropagation: A bunch of really knowledgable wine people are in #winehq, you're prbably better off asking there
[10:46] <paradroid> disasm: You were right. Running sunbird as another user works out fine. Seems something mixed up with my config.
[10:46] <Flannel> Tzadok: You can't.  The packages aren't even the same.  It's not just the kernel that's different.
[10:46] <cntb> mhikahardware not ok obviously
[10:46] <disasm> paradroid: run ls -a in home dir, see if you can find anything having to do with sunbird
[10:46] <cntb> mhika hardware not ok obviously
[10:46] <Stapol> WOWWWOWOWOWOW
[10:46] <Stapol> Whats the best linux live cd
[10:46] <kelsin> Tzadok: it "might" be possible to use the same home directory and setup files, so your data and settings are the same, but your programs need speicific versions for each hardware
[10:46] <disasm> paradroid: try find ~/|grep sunbird as well
[10:47] <gleesond> Flannel: http://pastebin.ca/365336
[10:47] <Tzadok> Flannel: I know that, but cntb was trying to tell me that generic would do that
[10:47] <mhika> cntb: Only "weird" hardware maybe is SCSI controller with 2 SCSI disks. even though I have installed Edgy on this machine before. I just installed Ubuntu version 5.10 from original ubuntu cds. Its working ok...
[10:47] <mhika> :/
[10:47] <mzanfardino> royel: thank you very much.  That is the same command you sent me the first time. I think the problem I had might have been that I did not substitue tabs for the spaces the first time.  Regardless, it appears to be working now.  I can mount /mnt/kubuntu just fine.  Thank you again
[10:47] <Tzadok> it is possible to make an "live" ubuntu hd isnt it? sumtin that work on all x86.
[10:48] <unity> why did ubuntu change me to bigiron kernel when i'm not running bigiron server equipment, whatever that may mean
[10:48] <danieleboyo> hello, i installed with the alternate cd and my graphics are not working, i would like to know if i can fix them some how
[10:48] <cntb> !liveCD
[10:48] <ubotu> Ubuntu Dapper 'Desktop' CD contains a Live CD (Ubuntu that runs straight off the CD and RAM) with an install option. Breezy's Live CD contained no install.
[10:48] <royel> mzanfardino: it appeared to be the same, but I added 040 between the space on the second command :)
[10:48] <paradroid> disasm: There is the "regular" config directory under .mozilla/sunbird
[10:48] <Flannel> gleesond: you've activated multiverse for backports, not the regular stuff.  For example, add multiverse to lines 16 and 17, in that paste.  (Usually you don't want to add backports as a repository anyway, but whatever)
[10:48] <paradroid> disasm: I already tried removing that.
[10:48] <SoulPropagation> Flannel: yeah, I forget why I even came her in the first place ;)
[10:48] <Stapol> Whats the best linux live cd
[10:48] <danieleboyo> stapol: knoppix?
[10:48] <paradroid> disasm: I am afraid there is something screwed up with the rights on my home folder.
[10:48] <Stapol> that uses least ram
[10:48] <redux> Flannel: ok, i'm now trying to boot like the UbuntuLiveCd docs say I should in qemu, i hope it'll work now
[10:48] <cntb> 1021 ppl crazy room
[10:48] <Stapol> so allows more functionality
[10:49] <disasm> paradroid: could be some gtk config stuff as well
[10:49] <mindstate> where would be the best place to start learning about how to setup a mail server?
[10:49] <danieleboyo> stapol: not sure...i know knoppix is pretty good though, if not try damn small linux
[10:49] <cntb> kde go kubuntu
[10:49] <Flannel> Tzadok: the generic kernel DOES work on all x86 (that doesn't include 64 bit)
[10:49] <disasm> mindstate: howtoforge
[10:49] <kelsin> Tzadok: yeah all x86, I think you were asking about x86 plus ppc and x86_64, even if you only ran it on x86 machines, if the hardware was different settings for certain packages could be drasically different and casue problems
[10:49] <disasm> mindstate: http://www.howtoforge.com/
[10:49] <paradroid> disasm: Great. :/ I believe I messed things up when I migrated my home folder to an extra partition.
[10:49] <danieleboyo> stapol: d.s.l is about a 50 mg iso...its really small
[10:49] <mindstate> disasm, ur awesome thanks
[10:50] <ompaul> mindstate, have a look at how to set up and use postfix
[10:50] <danieleboyo> my gui is not displaying correctly
[10:50] <disasm> mindstate: no problem, good luck ;-)
[10:50] <mindstate> ompaul, thanks dude :)
[10:50] <Flannel> paradroid: home folders (subfolders of /home/) are 755 by default
[10:50] <chris> disasm: i have the armagetronad.package, and i installed it, and then tried to remove and it doesnt work.. :(
[10:50] <mhika> How "great" is it to upgrade right from breezy to edgy=
[10:50] <Tzadok> Flannel: is there no way to have a live ubuntu that works on 64 bit
[10:50] <Tzadok> no
[10:50] <Flannel> mhika: not.  You need to go through dapper.
[10:50] <ompaul> mindstate,  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix
[10:51] <Tzadok> Flannel: not necessarily use the 64 bit stuff, but run on it?
[10:51] <Flannel> Tzadok: yes, the 64bit liveCD works on 64bit computers
[10:51] <cafuego_> An exception being Itanium. If you have itanium: hahahaha!
[10:51] <Tzadok> but there is no way to run a live x86 on a 64 bit?
[10:51] <mindstate> ompaul, thank you this helps a bunch
[10:51] <Flannel> Tzadok: depends on the hardware.  Most current 64bit processors have a 32bit comptaability mode, and will work just fine as 32bit thigns
[10:51] <mhika> Ok. Is the built-in burn program in ubuntu stable for burning image files? Seems like it doesent burn edgy good.
[10:51] <mzanfardino> royel: yeah, I see the 040 now... it would have been better (on my part) not to use a path with a space in the name I suspect.
[10:51] <cafuego_> Tzadok: The live x86 works fine on x86_64
[10:51] <ompaul> mindstate, it gets better https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixAmavisNewClamAVSpamAssassin
[10:52] <paradroid> disasm: If I remove the .mozilla/sunbird directory and run sunbird, it creates it anew. Shouldn't it then already hold the correct rights?
[10:52] <Soapbar> anyone know anything about apollon and the ares network?
[10:52] <Tzadok> Flannel: okay, thanks for the help i gtg
[10:52] <disasm> mhika: you mean cdrecord? it burns better than anything else
[10:52] <cntb> !il > Tzadok
[10:52] <mindstate> ompaul, oo protection :) thank you!
[10:52] <mhika> disasm: yeah, just this right click on image and --> write to cd
[10:52] <disasm> paradroid: yeah, should, do an ls -hal in ~/
[10:52] <SoulPropagation> Wait, I remember! Are there any touchpad customizers for ubuntu? E.g. where you can scroll using the right edge of the touchpad as a scroll wheel

[10:55] <mzanfardino> royel: I'm goin gto leav it as it is for the time being (too many things to worry about changing it).  Plus it will help me remember later on if I have a space in a mount point that I need to use 040.  thank you though, it's nice to have this part working...
[10:55] <paradroid> disasm: OK, I'll compare the rights from the other user where sunbird runs fine and mine. Thank you.

[10:57] <Soapbar> anyone have any tweaks to make the ares network faster on Apollon its running dog slow compared to XP
[10:57] <royel> mzanfardino: good then :)
[10:57] <Flannel> SoulPropagation: that page doesn't cover it, I don't believe. But Synaptics is the config thing, and google seems to think there are those scroll areas
[10:58] <SoulPropagation> Flannel: well the point is that it's there
[10:58] <mzanfardino> royel: thank you again.  I'm now running an apt-get without the cd and a pointer to the mount point... working just fine (a little slow, but that might be my connection)...
[10:58] <Spaghetti_Knife> I have a question. How do you compile Perl programs, and how do you run them? What do I download to compile them?

[10:58] <Flannel> Spaghetti_Knife: you don't, perl is interpetted.  You run them by invoking the perl program with the file as an argument

[10:59] <legistrate> I just installed nvidia graphics drivers, and they had to be compiled, no binaries existed.  The installed fine and system recognizes them alright, but I have mutiple kernals installed.  When I use GRUB to boot one of the others, they all fail to load X.  I figure I need to run the same driver package install on the to compile against their kernal but Im not sure how to boot to init lvl 1 withouyt trying to start X(after the error msg, there is no
[10:59] <psusi> generally you just run perl scripts directly... they usually start with the proper shbang line to invoke the perl interpreter
[10:59] <mzanfardino> royel: you have indeed and thank you very much.  I'm going to be able to do this with my other machines as well.
[10:59] <MadMatt> I have set up a samba share on a ubuntu box and I want to stream music from it onto my laptop.   How come it won't let me?
[10:59] <DogWater> Howdy, when i try to use wifi on my dell laptop it finds the access point but it never gets an IP address via dhcp, anyone know if i have to set something up? when i do ifup eth1 it tries to get an ip using dhcp but never succeeds
[11:00] <disasm> halkonst: unless you really need the 64 bit processing, it's much easier to use 32 bit, I've switched back and forth between 64 and 32 on my laptop, so I feel your pain
[11:00] <Spaghetti_Knife> WOOHOO!!!
[11:00] <Spaghetti_Knife> Thanks.
[11:00] <halkonst> disasm: You think it will be easier to get the fglrx working on a 32bit?
[11:01] <macd> MadMatt, can you browse to the samba share via your windows laptop?
[11:01] <MadMatt> I haven't tryed
[11:01] <macd> halkonst, absolutely
[11:01] <stouset> halkonst: Does ATI even support fglrx on amd64?
[11:01] <stouset> halkonst: They didn't, last time I looked. Which was, admittedly, a long time ago.
[11:01] <macd> MadMatt, then how do you know it doesnt work?
[11:01] <elyon225> Okay, so my sound just stopped working again.  Was playing a song in Amarok, paused it, and when I hit play again, there was no sound!  What gives!
[11:01] <MadMatt> I'm talking about kubuntu
[11:01] <halkonst> macd, souset: no idea. where do I find out? they have 64bit drivers on their site atleast
[11:01] <slv> can anyone tell me how functional Ubuntu is on a g4 laptop? will it detect everything alright?
[11:01] <psusi> stouset: yes, but I refuse to run proprietary software
[11:01] <DogWater> do i need to setup a supplicant file?
[11:01] <MadMatt> I can get on there and put them on my computer but I can't play them
[11:02] <macd> MadMatt, so it goes samba ubuntu ---> laptop kubuntu ?
[11:02] <MadMatt> yeah
[11:02] <MadMatt> but I just can stream them
[11:02] <macd> so they just dont play, can you copy one over and play it?
[11:02] <MadMatt> I have to put them on my computer
[11:02] <kevCast> Is there any gnome media player comparable to Amaroke?
[11:02] <MadMatt> I can copy it over but I want to just play them over the network
[11:02] <macd> kevCast, Rythmbox is pretty decent.
[11:02] <psusi> MadMatt: what player are you using?

[11:03] <psusi> MadMatt: and are you just browsing to the share in gnome, or mounting it?
[11:03] <kevCast> How would I go about getting MTP support for Rythymbox?
[11:03] <macd> MadMatt, I had that problem before, I used amarok to inport my music library via the samba share, all was great after that
[11:03] <redux> I'm getting the following error while booting a reconstructor made custom live cd using qemu.

[11:03] <MadMatt> I will try amarok and the mount method
[11:04] <elyon225> kevCast: You can't.  Amarok is the only one that supposedly supports MTP... although I've never been able to get it working. In fact, my whole sound system is screwed up because I followed the tutorials to get MTP support.
[11:04] <macd> MadMatt, that should solve your problem
[11:04] <Mao_Tse_Tung> HI
[11:04] <disasm> speaking of freevo, I'll be seeing you uns later, time to start prepping for my freevo presentation for PSU LUG meeting
[11:04] <trins> legistrate, i think you should compile the nvida kernel module for each kernel
[11:04] <kevCast> elyon225: How would I go about getting Amaroke on gnome?
[11:05] <elyon225> Someone please help me get my sound back on!  I didn't even change anything... I was listening to a song in Amarok, paused it... and when I tried playing it again, it griped about another process using the sound system and now I can't get any sound from ANY application at all!
[11:05] <elyon225> kevCast: sudo apt-get install amarok

[11:09] <ubotu> Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl
[11:09] <SoulPropagation> Are there any good Windows+Linux PC-to-PC calling programs, besides Skype?
[11:10] <mackinac> ekiga?
[11:10] <erUSUL> SoulPropagation: maybe ekiga
[11:10] <redux>  I'm getting the following error while booting a reconstructor made custom live cd using qemu. It gets to GDM screen fine, but it starts a 10 second countdown, and gives me the following error: Could not create gnome accelerators directory /home/redux/.gnome2/accel : Permission Denied
[11:10] <intelikey> disasm tail: cannot open `/var/log/error_log'    did you mean var/log/cups/error.log ?
[11:10] <trins> legistrate, you can avoid loading the X in start, go to /etc/rc2.d/ and rename S13gdm to K13gdm: mv S13gdm K13gdm
[11:10] <disasm> intelikey: yeah
[11:10] <disasm> intelikey: error_log
[11:10] <Shaezsche> so no one knows how to convert a bin to an iso
[11:10] <disasm> intelikey: /var/log/cups/error_log
[11:11] <mackinac> !iso
[11:11] <ubotu> To mount an ISO disc image, type "sudo mount -o loop my.iso <mountpoint>" There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before burning. Burning .iso files: see !burn
[11:11] <intelikey> disasm it's blank.
[11:11] <Shaezsche> i dont want to mount
[11:11] <Shaezsche> oh nm
[11:11] <SoulPropagation> looks good to me, mackinac and erUSUL
[11:11] <mastermixer> hey everyone, i'm in need of some help. i have an old asus a7v266 motherboard that has those 3 holes for line out, line in and mic in on its back, which is also used for a 5.1 sound configuration. under windows the way it works (2 speakers or 6 speakers) is choosen by software, but how is it done under linux??
[11:11] <erUSUL> legistrate: trins the correct way of doing this is with sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove
[11:11] <mackinac> read.... conversion tools
[11:11] <disasm> Shaezsche: a bin is an iso I think, try burning it
[11:11] <disasm> hmmm...
[11:12] <mcphail> sc0tt: bchunk
[11:12] <intelikey> disasm cat /var/log/cups/error_log the file is there but blank.
[11:12] <mcphail> Shaezsche: bchunk
[11:12] <mcphail> sc0tt: sorry, wrong nick
[11:12] <Shaezsche> i dont want to burn, i want to mount it. i cant mount a bin
[11:12] <erUSUL> Shaezsche: bchunk can convert bin + cue to iso
[11:12] <legistrate> erUSUL, I think trins way might be better, because doesnt an update set it back to the way it was?  I just want to do this once, not perminantly boot to shell instead of X
[11:12] <Shaezsche> thx
[11:13] <legistrate> trins, thx
[11:13] <Shaezsche> when is feisty due btw?
[11:13] <SoulPropagation> Shaezsche: convert it to an iso
[11:13] <ecker> whats a good movie player like kaffeine / kmplayer for Gnome?

[11:13] <ubotu> The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn"), it should be released in April 2007. At the moment it is alpha. Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyReleaseSchedule - Specifications (goals): https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/feisty - Help in #ubuntu+1
[11:13] <SoulPropagation> Shaezsche: I'd think 4/20/07
[11:13] <disasm> intelikey: then reinstall cups
[11:13] <Shaezsche> sweet
[11:13] <erUSUL> legistrate: with 'sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults' you can put things back as it were
[11:13] <MadMatt> how do I mount smb file shares
[11:14] <disasm> i have to admit, feisty is the smoothest alpha upgrade I've ever done ;-)
[11:14] <intelikey> E: Couldn't find package cupsys-common

[11:14] <intelikey> that might be it ?
[11:14] <Cryptid> Which is better AIGLX or XGL ?? i have a nvidia card and running ubntu edgy what all do i need to install to get compiz to work ?
[11:14] <legistrate> erUSUL, ah, ok, thx, did you see my question that this is all reguarding?
[11:14] <erUSUL> legistrate: no sorry
[11:14] <Apix> Does anyone know how to setup DRM or DRI on a S3 SavagePROddr8 (KN266)
[11:14] <intelikey> disasm no package in dapper drake.
[11:14] <trins> Cryptid, why not do you try beryl?
[11:14] <royel> MadMatt: sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=xxx,password=xxx //samba/share /mnt/directory
[11:15] <Apix> movies work slow.... GUI Crashes on XINE...
[11:15] <wortel> Will ubuntu run without a swap partition? how do I tell if it's working correctly (just spent some time messing around with my partitions)
[11:15] <disasm> intelikey: no package? what cups* packages do you have?
[11:15] <redux> what's the difference between fail-safe GNOME session and default?
[11:15] <Cryptid> trins: i herd beryl is buggy when compared to compiz
[11:15] <Apix> some strange shit while watching video on xine too
[11:15] <erUSUL> wortel: it should but it is not an ideal situation you can set up a file as swap in the meantime iirc
[11:16] <Y> royel : I heard that it is apparently safer to use cifs then smbfs
[11:16] <mcphail> wortel: i have been running without a swap partition for months
[11:16] <wortel> erusul: I have a swap partition, i just want to tell if it's actually being used :)
[11:16] <disasm> intelikey: make that cupsys not cupsys-common
[11:16] <royel> Y: I couldn't confirm nor deny, I have always used samba myself an have not had any problems .. yet

[11:17] <Shaezsche> everyone is getting new errors with the new xorg
[11:17] <mcphail> wortel: if you have a decent amount of ram, swap may be a waste of space
[11:17] <disasm> intelikey: hmmm... is this your only ubuntu machine?
[11:17] <intelikey> it is.
[11:17] <wortel> mcphail: 1 gig enough?
[11:17] <rdz> hello everyone. i tried several joysticks and all have been recognized by the system. but i had always bad luck with gamepads. does anybody know why?
[11:17] <trins> Cryptid, uhm, i tried compiz about a year ago, and it was almost buggy, i'm with the ultimate version of beryl now, it works very good with nvidia
[11:17] <Shaezsche> is there an easier way to mount isos then to type that loop -o command?
[11:17] <slippyr4> ok so i installed dapper server, then apt-get install ubuntu-desktop - but there's an awful lot of regular stuff missing from the desktop menus, including in particular the software management tools. what do i need to install to fix them?
[11:17] <mcphail> wortel: probably. i have no problems with 2 gig
[11:18] <disasm> intelikey: what devices do you have hooked up right now? ie. printers?
[11:18] <tritium_> Shaezsche: with nautilus
[11:18] <rdz> dmesg doesn't even tell me, that a new usb-device was found.
[11:18] <redux> rdz: driver support?
[11:18] <Shaezsche> how do i mount with nautilus?
[11:18] <Cryptid> trins: does it have all the effects that compiz offres ?
[11:18] <wortel> but seeing as I have a partition formatted as swap I'd rather not it go to waste
[11:18] <rdz> redux, how can i check that?
[11:18] <Shaezsche> i need it to mount to my cd drive
[11:18] <intelikey> disasm printer on lp0    but have never been able to ste it up yet.
[11:18] <Shaezsche> so it thinks its one
[11:18] <LisaKarr> anyone know how to do background colors in xcha
[11:18] <LisaKarr> *xchat
[11:18] <intelikey> ste/set/
[11:19] <redux> rdz: you can go to the manufacturer site and check if they have linux support
[11:19] <trins> Cryptid, i'm not sure, but you have too much efects for me :) LOL
[11:19] <auTONYmous> why do I always get random app crashes on gnome startup with Feisty?
[11:19] <andre> hey guys
[11:19] <kitche> LisaKarr: it's in the options for xchat but you sure your using xchat and not xchat-gnome?
[11:19] <andre> Doesn't ubuntu support any widget software?
[11:19] <trins> trins, i think beryl its a step ahead compiz
[11:19] <erUSUL> auTONYmous: becouse it is an alfa release and not even beta?
[11:19] <trins> ooops
[11:19] <rdz> redux, hahah, ok. it is a microsoft pad. but i also have a microsoft joystick that works
[11:19] <LisaKarr> kitche, i'm talking colors like these colors
[11:19] <auTONYmous> erUSUL...but does it have something to do with "apport"
[11:20] <rdz> and i also tried other gamepads, and they didn't work either.
[11:20] <erUSUL> auTONYmous: also feisty is discussed in #ubuntu+1
[11:20] <redux> rdz/ is the joystick usb?
[11:20] <trins> Cryptid, i think beryl it's a step ahead compiz
[11:20] <auTONYmous> oh, right...I forgot about that
[11:20] <rdz> redux, yes, both the joystick and the pad are usb
[11:20] <intelikey> disasm not that it matters but the printer is just an old lexmark 1020   should be datively supported.
[11:21] <redux> rdz: hmm, this is a bit puzzling
[11:21] <rdz> redux, though the both are with 15pin-Dsub plug and a an 15-dsub->usb-adapter
[11:21] <andre> Does ubuntu support any widget software?
[11:21] <disasm> intelikey: try unplugging it, restarting cupsys and then going to the page
[11:21] <kitche> LisaKarr: sorry but do not know what your talking baout unless you mean text colors background or xchat background but I told you that they are in options
[11:21] <disasm> intelikey: maybe it's trying to access it and having problems
[11:21] <ttoine> hey, men
[11:21] <intelikey> ok.
[11:21] <andre> !widget
[11:21] <trins> Cryptid, if i were you i will try it, my friends say more "Wow" than with Vista... ;)
[11:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about widget - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:21] <redux> rdz: well, i wouldn't put my money on M$ having linux support
[11:22] <erUSUL> !support
[11:22] <ubotu> For your support options, see http://www.ubuntu.com/support For IRC support, join #ubuntu / #kubuntu / #xubuntu etc
[11:22] <wortel> what mount point should the swap drive have in fstab?
[11:22] <rdz> redux, of course. i found both on a fleamarket for cheap money
[11:22] <andre> !widget
[11:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about widget - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:22] <intelikey> disasm same thing.
[11:22] <mcphail> wortel: "none" iirc
[11:22] <redux> rdz: can you write down the model name for me?
[11:22] <ttoine> i would like to speak about a problem i have with my workstation since the release of feisty's herd4... it is impossible to launch the workstation. Is this ths good channel to speak, or should i go to #ubuntu-devel ?
[11:22] <suBZero2> Anyone: I have an x1600 pro with fglrx drivers installed, I get 250 max fps in GLXgears and even nexuiz runs very very slow does anybody have an idea whats going on?
[11:23] <Cryptid> trins: my friends have seen compiz on my dapper and were really impressed , now i made a fresh installation of edgy and want to add the eye candy again but unable to decide weather to go with XGL or AIGLX and compiz or berly
[11:23] <erUSUL> ttoine: #ubuntu+1
[11:23] <rdz> redux, it seemed to me, that ALL joysticks just work out of the box with ubuntu, that's why i was surpised, that the pad isn't even recognized as a usb-device
[11:23] <ttoine> i just want to do a bug report, but fdon't know what to explain
[11:23] <ttoine> erUSUL: thanks

[11:24] <Sanne> andre: widget on Linux is usually used to describe buttons and other controls of the user interface. I believe you may want to look for desktop applets.
[11:24] <ttoine> bye

[11:24] <redux> rdz: ok, let me do a little search for ya ;)
[11:24] <trins> Cryptid, i have beryl only with the module of nvidia, without AIXGL or XGL, it runs fast, believe me :)
[11:24] <andre> sanne: oh  ok,  thanks for the help,  would you happen to know the answer to my question then?
[11:24] <wortel> some people play on trivia channels, some play on #ubuntu
[11:24] <andre> !applet
[11:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about applet - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:25] <intelikey> disasm ok running in tty24

[11:25] <trins> wortel, LOL
[11:25] <hjhjkhj> !applet
[11:25] <rdz> redux, could it be that the usb-adapter i have works only with the joystick?
[11:25] <Cryptid> trins: are u using the eta drivers of nvidia ? nd which card u using
[11:25] <Sanne> andre: I'm not sure for gnome... I bet there are such applets. For kde there's superkaramba, I think (I don't use those myself, so I'm not sure)
[11:25] <wortel> the channel should actually have a bot so you can score people that help you out
[11:25] <redux> rdz: yeah, that could be the case - i think the adapter is really the issue here
[11:25] <rdz> redux, and don't make yourself too much trouble because of that problem
[11:25] <slipstream3d> hello, anyone know much about gigabit ethernet under ubuntu?
[11:26] <intelikey> disasm same thing.  and no output from cupsd
[11:26] <SoulPropagation> how come ^Bksp clears the whole URL in firefox on ubuntu but not on windows?
[11:26] <disasm> intelikey: scratch that, can't get any output out of cupsd, run strace cupsd -f then go to the page
[11:26] <redux> rdz: well, i've got free time on my hands until someone answers my own problems here :)
[11:26] <slipstream3d> i have a nvidia chipset gigabit adapter that ethtool reports as 1000 MB/s link speed, but I get maximum 7% utilization when copying to a Windows machine
[11:26] <rdz> redux, ah ok. the guys gave me only one adapter, and this one works with the joystick
[11:26] <andre> sanne: thanks for the help
[11:26] <Sanne> andre: you're welcome
[11:26] <rdz> redux, what kind of problem is it then?

[11:27] <rdz> redux, i'd like to help if i can....
[11:27] <Sanne> andre: ha, I think I found some...
[11:27] <rdz> redux, though i am not THAT experienced
[11:27] <slipstream3d> i'm using SAMBA, which gets 6-7%. I also tried SFTP (through WinSCP) which gets me 1%.
[11:27] <redux> rdz: oh, well , i've got a gnome session boot up problem
[11:27] <andre> Sanne:  yeah?
[11:27] <disasm> intelikey: it should be spitting data out of the terminal like crazy

[11:27] <echosyp> yo, can you install xubuntu in such a way that you don't need the install cd when you add packages/upgrade

[11:28] <erUSUL> !itworksforme
[11:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about itworksforme - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[11:28] <rdz> redux, and it sounds to be over my capabilities.. i am sorry
[11:28] <erUSUL> !forme
[11:28] <redux> rdz, yeah, its not that bad since its on a virtual machine, so its not affecting me
[11:28] <macd> slipstream3d, not all protocols can saturate a gig connection, something like NFS ot FTP would be a good test to see.
[11:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about forme - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:28] <redux> rdz np :)
[11:28] <intelikey> disasm i don't see any error messages.   what am i looking for in the strace ?

[11:28] <rootvzla> hi andre
[11:28] <slipstream3d> Hmm. SAMBA from Windows->Windows hits 60-70% utilization...
[11:28] <MadMatt> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6764/ can someone look at this and tell me why I can't mount a smb share?
[11:29] <andre> hi rootvzla
[11:29] <macd> slipstream3d, this isbnt windows to windows though is it? apples and oranges dont compare well.
[11:29] <royel> MadMatt: sure, one sec
[11:29] <trins> !worksforme
[11:29] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[11:29] <macd> MadMatt, "sudo apt-get install smbfs"
[11:29] <royel> MadMatt: paste me your /etc/fstab
[11:29] <erUSUL> ubotu tell trins about WorksForMe | trins see priv msg from ubotu
[11:29] <slipstream3d> Yes, but since the protocol allows that much data, it leads me to believe I haven't set the Linux box up right ;)
[11:29] <redux> rdz, well, going back to the gamepad issue, i think its the adapter that's giving you the problems. Maybe you need to plug in the adapter in a different bus
[11:29] <MadMatt> get smbfs?
[11:29] <MadMatt> ok
[11:30] <trins> erUSUL, i dit it ;)

[11:31] <kane77> how can I do it?
[11:31] <macd> slipstream3d, yes NFS is great, checkout Microsoft Service for Unix to get NFS setup on windows.
[11:31] <echosyp> can you install xubuntu in such a way that you don't need the install cd when you add packages/upgrade

[11:32] <eryc> If I right click a file and select "Open with another application", can I use a macro like %f for the filename so that it can be in the middle of the command options?
[11:32] <slipstream3d> Excellent, I'll have to check that out.
[11:32] <echosyp> really, that simple
[11:32] <echosyp> awesome
[11:32] <echosyp> thanks
[11:32] <echosyp> i owe you one
[11:33] <andre> is intel integrated graphics notoriusly badly supported in Ubuntu?  I've had two machine that won't give me better resolution than 640x480
[11:33] <macd> slipstream3d, I use that solution myself and it takes about 3 minutes for a 4.4gb iso to transfer ;P
[11:33] <Horadranin> ... hi
[11:33] <pnm> anyone noticed extreme slowness after apt-get upgrading today? Suddenly I'm finding that beagled and beagled-helper are munching my cpu to bits
[11:33] <slipstream3d> About the sources thing: can you copy the CDROM to the hard drive so you can ditch the package CD without wasting bandwidth?
[11:33] <redux> rdz: i think this person has a few links and has attempted to solve the problem : http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=266752&highlight=SideWinder+%28tm%29+gamepad
[11:33] <macd> slipstream3d, you can mount an ISO as a cdrom device in linux.
[11:34] <linuxuser2907> how can you get the stuff you can install with sudo apt-get cache
[11:34] <rdz> redux, great!! many thanks
[11:34] <kane77> how can I get statistic about my upload/download?? I know there are stats for session, but I need monthly stats...
[11:34] <Horadranin> can i get some help here?
[11:34] <Malachi> Crossover Office is under the GPL, right?
[11:34] <redux> rdz come back and tell me if this works for you
[11:34] <macd> linuxuser2907, "apt-cache search whatyouserachingforhere"
[11:34] <kitche> anre: nope they work good just don't trust the gnome resolution applet
[11:34] <linuxuser2907> hor: join channel #ubuntu
[11:34] <ompaul> linuxuser2907, they are
[11:35] <mcphail> Malachi: no
[11:35] <ompaul> !ask Horadranin
[11:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ask horadranin - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:35] <psusi> macd: there actually isn't a cdrom device involved so it is kind of nonsense to say it like that... you just mount the file instead of a cdrom device
[11:35] <ompaul> !ask |  Horadranin
[11:35] <ubotu> Horadranin: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:35] <kevin> What file type is associated with gnome GTK2 themes?
[11:35] <Malachi> mcphail: May I ask what license?
[11:35] <macd> psusi, think about what I said as lamens terms, dont confuse the newbs.
[11:35] <Malachi> I'd google it myself, but all I can do at the moment is IRC.
[11:35] <tbd99> other than telnet...is there a gui interface to use my ubuntu machine remotely?
[11:36] <Horadranin> ok ubotu :p
[11:36] <trins> kevin, none, just drag & drop the zip of the theme to the themes configuration tool
[11:36] <erUSUL> tbd99: vnc
[11:36] <FaintofHeart> When I try to use root I get this message:(nautilus:32142): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Failed to open session DBUS connection: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
[11:36] <redux> hello! can anyone help me with my gnome session errors please?
[11:36] <slipstream3d> So when I mount the ISO in place of the CDROM, does it have to be on the "CDROM" mount point or is there a way to tell APT its not on /media/cdrom any more?
[11:36] <Horadranin> i need to reinstall linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-10-generic
[11:36] <kitche> tbd99: freenx
[11:36] <tbd99> vnc?
[11:36] <tbd99> k.
[11:36] <psusi> macd: it is more straight forward and correct to say "you can mount the file directly
[11:36] <tbd99> is it possible to use vnc in a windows environment?
[11:36] <slipstream3d> tbd99: yes, very much so
[11:36] <psusi> tbd99: yes... works great too
[11:36] <trins> tbd99, of course
[11:36] <macd> slipstream3d, you mount the file then point your apt/sources.list to it like file: /foo/
[11:36] <tbd99> psusi
[11:36] <slipstream3d> check out UltraVNC if you want to have Windows as the server
[11:36] <tbd99> awesome
[11:36] <tbd99> thanks
[11:37] <kevin> trins: Where is the theme configuration tool?
[11:37] <tbd99> is it free or shareware?
[11:37] <tbd99> can u give me a link?
[11:37] <tuckerm> ! permissions
[11:37] <ubotu> The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[11:37] <royel> FaintofHeart: what command are you issuing?
[11:37] <slipstream3d> it's open source, just search google for UltraVNC
[11:37] <FaintofHeart> sudo nautilus
[11:37] <trins> kevin, System->Preferences->Theme... explore your ubuntu :P (at least your sytem menus...) :)
[11:37] <tbd99> k

[11:38] <royel> FaintofHeart: do this:gksudo mautilus
[11:38] <Horadranin> someone help me!!
[11:38] <kevin> Ahh, alright. Sorry, that was a little too obvious. Thanks trins.
[11:38] <sebrock> I have to run nspluginwrapper -v -a -i firefox everytime I start firefox in order to get flash working, could I put this in rc.local istead?
[11:38] <trins> kevin,  ;)
[11:38] <kitche> sebrock: just make a shells cript
[11:38] <redux> can anyone here please help me with my xsession-error?
[11:38] <intelikey> disasm ?
[11:38] <kitche> sebrock: you won't put it in rc.local though sicne that's used for boot
[11:38] <macd> sebrock, edit your firefox launcher and prepend that command.
[11:38] <Horadranin> i need to reinstall linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-10-generic, but how!?
[11:39] <sebrock> I did that first, but it did not work
[11:39] <sebrock> why can't I put it in rc.local? The flash only fails when rebooting
[11:39] <macd> Horadranin, "dpkg-reconfigure linux-restricted-....."
[11:39] <sebrock> I need to do it at reboot more or less...
[11:39] <royel> FaintofHeart: sorry for the typo: gksudo nautilus
[11:39] <tuckerm> I need the exact sudo command for allowing a write access to a 156gig hdd to copy a file from my network to a windows dir
[11:39] <macd> sebrock, than rc.local is fine.
[11:39] <kitche> sebrock: sicne x won't be up when rc.local is ran
[11:39] <FaintofHeart> royel: Check PMs
[11:39] <sebrock> kitche, does it have to?
[11:40] <mrpoundsign> Horadranin: whats the problem?
[11:40] <kitche> sebrock: yes since your command will start firefox
[11:40] <macd> does nspluginwrapper depend on X running? Im not sure that it does
[11:40] <mrpoundsign> Horadranin: because if you already have the -11 kernel, that wont help you.
[11:40] <sebrock> macd, kitche, by using this script I'm not buliding up a lot of junk am I? Its just overwriting it all the time right?
[11:41] <mcphail> Malachi: it is a "home-rolled" license. It is not open source
[11:41] <kitche> macd: but firefox depends on X
[11:41] <tuckerm>  need the exact sudo command for allowing a write access to a 156gig hdd to copy a file from my network to a windows dir
[11:41] <sebrock> kitche, sorry this is the one: nspluginwrapper -a -i
[11:41] <Horadranin> macd: i got: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-10-generic is broken or not completly installed
[11:41] <Sanne> tuckerm: depends on the file system this hdd has you want towrite to
[11:41] <macd> kitche, hes not launching ff at boot though.
[11:41] <Malachi> mcphail: Okay.

[11:41] <intelikey> tuckerm you need to learn a little about ntfs non-support in linux.   writing to ntfs is not recommended.
[11:41] <sebrock> I wrote the wrong line sorry nspluginwrapper -a -i
[11:42] <tuckerm> intelikey I know it's not recommended however i have no other choice.
[11:42] <MarkyMark> Hi All. How can I get (force?) Ubuntu server 6.10 (shell only) to upgrade samba to version 3.0.24? It currently has 3.0.22 installed, and apt-get upgrade is not updating it.
[11:42] <sebrock> macd, kitche will the script just overwrite the files all the time or will it eat space every boot?
[11:42] <aimtrainer> !samba
[11:42] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[11:42] <intelikey> !ntfs > tuckerm
[11:42] <Horadranin> mrpoundsign:  i updated the kernel and now i get a error msg everytime i need install something
[11:42] <wortel> mcphil: 'none' doesn't work
[11:42] <tuckerm> !ntfs
[11:42] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[11:42] <intelikey> tuckerm there is always other choices.
[11:42] <kitche> sebrock: it won't do anything it jsut makes flash work in firefox
[11:42] <trins> tuckerm, uhm.. you can copy your files to a FAT32 partition, after that, copy your files to NTFS if you should do it

[11:43] <sebrock> thanks
[11:43] <wortel> anybody have an idea to where a swap partition should be mounted?
[11:43] <redux>  I'm getting the following error while booting a reconstructor made custom live cd using qemu. It gets to GDM screen fine, but it starts a 10 second countdown, and gives me the following error: Could not create gnome accelerators directory /home/redux/.gnome2/accel : Permission Denied
[11:43] <intelikey> tuckerm windows supports reading ext#fs
[11:43] <tuckerm> Windows won't boot. It has a corrupt hive. I'm trying to copy it from my network hdd backups to the windows folder
[11:43] <mcphail> wortel: /dev/whatever       none            swap    sw              0       0
[11:43] <wortel> mcphail: not working :)
[11:43] <mcphail> wortel: have you used "sudo swapon /dev/whaterver"?
[11:43] <Sanne> tuckerm: for fat32, you would set the permissions at the time you mount the partition. I don't know how it works with ntfs. 'man mount' should help.
[11:44] <slipstream3d> wortel: what mcphail is saying is it's not actually mounted anywhere you can "see"
[11:44] <wortel> hold on
[11:44] <wortel> mine does differ from that
[11:44] <janga> hi, which wireless-card should i buy? prism GT or Atheros?
[11:45] <wortel>  /dev/hda7 none   swap noauto 0 0
[11:45] <mcphail> wortel: you "mount" it with "swapon" rather than "mount"
[11:45] <intelikey> noauto ?
[11:45] <Horadranin> i need to reinstall linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-10-generic, but how!?
[11:45] <koth> hi, question about mplayer, is this the recommand player for ubuntu?

[11:45] <ubotu> koth: 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
[11:45] <trins> koth, uhm, it's a usefull player :)

[11:46] <trins> !es | luis_
[11:46] <slipstream3d> koth: i don't kow if it's "recommended" but mplayer is by far my favorite linux audio/video player

[11:46] <luis_> hola
[11:46] <Horadranin> i need to reinstall linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-10-generic, but how!?
[11:46] <koth> thank you guys
[11:46] <mcphail> wortel: and what does "sudo swapon /dev/hda7" do?
[11:46] <mrpoundsign> Horadranin: what kernel version are you running?
[11:46] <rbil> Ubuntu+Beryl+Dual Monitors == The WOW starts here!
[11:47] <Horadranin> mrpoundsign: i dont kwon x)
[11:47] <trins> rbil, LOL you have that?
[11:47] <janga> hi, which wireless-card should i buy? prism GT or Atheros?
[11:47] <rbil> yes, just setup today
[11:47] <mrpoundsign> Horadranin: uname -r
[11:47] <macd> janga, go Atheros.
[11:47] <xai> Is there any special UUID boot support required for kernels that have UUID  spec'd /etc/fstab ?
[11:47] <intelikey> wortel and "noauto" means that it's not automatically mounted from the mount -a command    but swapon -a   should mount it as swap space.     free    will list it as mounted or not.  as well as showing how much of it is in use.
[11:47] <mrpoundsign> Horadranin: if it's -11, you need to install the restricted modules for your -11 version.
[11:47] <IR7738> ..`> holaaaaaa, alguien me puede decir donde estoy????
[11:47] <trins> rbil put a demo in youtube for the world ^_^

[11:48] <pnm> koth: at a guess, I'd say the "recommended" player would be totem, since it is installed by default and handles video files by default (e.g. when opened from nautilus). mplayer isn't installed by default (afaik), so probably isn't "recommended" as such, but is still very good (make sure you get the win32 codec pack from mplayerhq.hu)
[11:48] <rbil> trins: there are so many now on youtube
[11:48] <Horadranin> mrpoundsign: 2.6.17-11-generic :)
[11:48] <rdz> redux, it seems that i am the only one, who tries to use the pad over usb. i didn't find a solution and i am still not sure, if it's supposed to work over usb. possibly it is not.
[11:48] <kitche> xai: you can just use device names if you want
[11:48] <wortel> mcphail: it shows up on 'free' now. Let me just restart and see... thanks
[11:48] <trins> rbil with two monitors too?
[11:48] <nexousNET> Hi
[11:48] <rbil> trins: 2 19" crts
[11:48] <trins> i didn't know it
[11:48] <mrpoundsign> Horadranin: so install the restricted modules for that kernel version.  :)  then you'll have your nvidia driver.  :P
[11:48] <OuZo> i know this is the wrong place but does anybody know a sony ericson irc room? - or were i could find a chm reader for my P910i? thanks
[11:48] <xai> I compiled my kernel with only piix support  for the sata ctrlr, but it can't find /dev/sda2,. Not sure why..
[11:48] <redux> rdz, i think the hardware was not meant to be used through USB

[11:49] <kane77> rbil, does it work like i think it works? (the two monitors act as adjacent sides of cube?)
[11:49] <rdz> redux, but i have joystick with a similar design (i mean the look) with possiby the same age, that works over usb. but i don't have experience so i really cannot tell what is supposed to work and what not
[11:49] <mrpoundsign> Horadranin: apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-11-generic
[11:50] <rbil> kane77: one large desktop spread across 2 monitors. 1 cube spanning across both
[11:50] <rdz> redux, the joystick is also called sidewinder.....
[11:50] <HymnToLife> or even better, linux-restricted-modules-generic
[11:50] <rdz> but nevermind.. it is not that bad... i can live with the joystick
[11:51] <rbil> I can show you a short xdiv, but I'm afraind to post the url here because the server will probably get bombarded with viewers with all these lurkers around :-)
[11:51] <kane77> rbil, oh.. well that's my dream, two large monitors (crt's of course...).. :)
[11:51] <redux> rdz: i think it has to do with the driver support in the Kernel. The linux kernel (afaik) is general enough to support most generic hardware.
[11:52] <rbil> kane77: if you can pm me I'll give u the url
[11:52] <rdz> redux, ok
[11:52] <iGama> Hy!
[11:52] <rdz> anyway, i need some sleep. good night
[11:52] <iGama> hmm does anyone use the falcon repository ?
[11:53] <redux> rdz: good night buddy, and good luck
[11:53] <iGama> im trying to understand it, but it does not create a index.html for me
[11:54] <pschulz01_> Greetings.. is there a tool to convert 'dxf' files to 'svg'?
[11:56] <kevCast> I tried to get rid of Amarok through the GUI package manager, but it said to use synaptic. What's going on?
[11:56] <TomHung> what is the best program for adding / editing menu items
[11:56] <Yeti_69> :fr
[11:56] <Yeti_69> !fr
[11:56] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[11:56] <TomHung> sorry in gnome
[11:56] <GMWeezel> How do I prevent sound applications from locking access?
[11:56] <iGama> TomHung, alacarte
[11:57] <iGama> falcon anyone? :$
[11:57] <kitche> GMWeezel: use aoss instead of oss
[11:57] <kekko_> can somebody have a quick look at this simple line of text ? It's ssiimple!
[11:57] <kekko_> http://rafb.net/p/hl08uB71.html
[11:57] <GMWeezel> kitch: Do I uninstall OSS completely?
[11:57] <hellcattrav> hello
[11:57] <pschulz01_> TomHung: Have you tried the 'Menu Layout' tool under the System menu?
[11:57] <koth> How can i add 1280x720 into the screen resolution in ubuntu?
[11:58] <kitche> GMWeezel: no you don't have touninstall oss
[11:58] <TomHung> pschulz01_: menu layout dosent allow for menu item addition / edits
[11:58] <TomHung> and gmenu-simple-editor only lets you turn items on / off
[11:59] <Sanne> pschulz01: isn't dxf a 3D format?
[11:59] <TomHung> alacarte is what I was looking for!!! thanks iGama!
[11:59] <kevCast> How do I uninstall Amarok? It's not allowing me to do so though synaptic.
[11:59] <hellcattrav> so what is the difference between kde and gnome?
[11:59] <iGama> TomHung, :)
[11:59] <rafiu> hi
[11:59] <iGama> hellcattrav, its differente
[11:59] <pschulz01_> Sanne: autocad - engineering drawings..
[11:59] <Dextorion> hehe
[11:59] <iGama> use it, the compare :)
[11:59] <rafiu> anyone managed to get wireless working on edgy eft black macbook?
[11:59] <nico8481> any idea where to deactivate portmap/sunrpc "the ubuntu way"? (i guess i could comment it in whatever starting script starts it or rename it in rcX.d but i'm trying to keep it clean :o) )
[12:00] <Dextorion> hellcattrav: you'll get 50% telling you that kde is better. And 50% telling you gnome is better.  I think you should try them both.
[12:00] <Sanne> pschulz01: you can do some things with dxf in blender, I guess... but converting to svg? Don't think so, but that dosn't necessarily mean anything...
[12:00] <hellcattrav> i have
[12:00] <Dextorion> hellcattrav: alrighty then.  So.. whats the differnace ? :)
[12:00] <hellcattrav> idk?
[12:00] <merc> nico8481: i liked sysv-rc-conf
