[12:02] <tafadzwa> then i have my destop and my laptop
[12:02] <sephy> hey
[12:02] <Raider1> Ok, dump question, whats the best place to download Ubuntu Server from, I'm in New York State in the US ... I've tried a bunch of mirrors off ubuntu.com and they all keep timing out
[12:03] <nfspeed99> why ls instead of dir?
[12:03] <royel> nfspeed99: try using ls ( EL ES ) instead of dir :)
[12:03] <dimeotane> what should the permissions for /home be
[12:03] <sephy> can someone help me with a problem?
[12:03] <zcat[1] > hmmm.. alias cd..="cd .."
[12:03] <moses> some howtos state that xgl can be installed by apting xgl-server, but there is no such packet. is this gone?
[12:03] <tafadzwa> the wgr614 is a wireless router
[12:03] <Raider1> er, dumb question
[12:03] <royel> zcat[1] : lol, nice :)
[12:03] <sephy> how do you install a .package file?
[12:03] <Flannel> tafadzwa: Right.  Ok, so you connect your Ubuntu computer, you'll want to give it a static IP on your LAN, and then if you want to be able to access it from outside your house, you'll need to setup port forwarding
[12:03] <blup2> hi
[12:03] <zcat[1] > well, there's already an alias for dir :)
[12:03] <reportingsjr> how do I download/install php5 binary with apt get or whatever it is?
[12:03] <nfspeed99> they both work
[12:03] <nfspeed99> dir and ls
[12:04] <sephy> yo
[12:04] <nfspeed99> but ls has some colors
[12:04] <sephy> how do I install a .package file???
[12:04] <tafadzwa> i have a dynamic ip, i want to run vhosts and use some kind of dynamic dns i have zoneedit but im a little confused
[12:04] <Flannel> nfspeed99: that's just what the command is.  "ls" is LiSt, and actually, 'dir' maps to ls
[12:04] <zcat[1] > "linux is not windows" !!
[12:04] <royel> nfspeed99: you can't have the toys if your gonna use MS commands :)
[12:04] <agnostic> deeply!
[12:04] <nfspeed99> ha
[12:04] <tafadzwa> i want the server on a different subnet than my desktop and laptop which will be on the wireless router
[12:04] <reportingsjr> how do I download/install php5 binary with apt get or whatever it is?
[12:04] <mindstate> i keep getting this error when using apt-get http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7113/ ..can someone help?
[12:04] <Flannel> tafadzwa: right.  You'll need some sort of dynamic DNS, but theyre mostly pretty trivial to setup.
[12:05] <IPODS_OWN_ZUNES> IM HAVING PROBLEMS UPDATING JAVA
[12:05] <nfspeed99> just wondering why since they both worked
[12:05] <nfspeed99> but thats cool...ill use ls
[12:05] <IPODS_OWN_ZUNES> i just type no
[12:05] <nfspeed99> =)
[12:05] <Flannel> reportingsjr: php5
[12:05] <reportingsjr> so just apt get -php5?
[12:05] <Flannel> reportingsjr: If you want it with apache, you need to also install the apache module: libapache2-mod-php5
[12:05] <Flannel> reportingsjr: no, just "php5" no -
[12:05] <Flannel> reportingsjr: sudo apt-get install php5
[12:05] <tafadzwa> im so confused right now
[12:05] <reportingsjr> oh
[12:05] <reportingsjr> so
[12:05] <dimeotane> what should I chmod the /home directory to?
[12:05] <bruenig> dimeotane, 755
[12:06] <dimeotane> k
[12:06] <reportingsjr> If I did apt get install libapache2-mod-php5 it would install apache and php5?
[12:06] <sephy> can someone answer my question???
[12:06] <tafadzwa> should i use the switch or just put everything on wireless router?
[12:06] <zcat[1] > apt-get install ubuntu-lamp  # Yay seveas!
[12:06] <sephy> or chat to me private about it
[12:06] <Flannel> reportingsjr: it'd ... no.
[12:06] <mindstate> be patient sephy
[12:06] <royel> dimeotane: personally I would do 700, but thats me
[12:06] <sephy> sorry
[12:07] <cchance> Where can i get vmware os'es? Like windows
[12:07] <Flannel> reportingsjr: it'd install some pieces of apache, and pieces of php.  That page covers it all, gives all the commands oyu'll need
[12:07] <lightcap> oh good there's a ticket to add rss feeds to the USN page
[12:07] <zcat[1] >  .package ?!!
[12:07] <sephy> yes
[12:07] <zcat[1] > errr....
[12:07] <yomm> !xdpm
[12:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xdpm - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:07] <sephy> I have downloaded a .package file and I dont know what to do with it
[12:07] <yomm> !xdmp
[12:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xdmp - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:07] <ddude> join #filezilla
[12:07] <sephy> I am a Windows user
[12:07] <mindstate> a .package file?
[12:07] <yomm> guys help me here :)
[12:08] <sephy> mainly
[12:08] <mindstate> sephy: or a .deb file?
[12:08] <sephy> nope
[12:08] <bruenig> sephy, you ./whatever.package it
[12:08] <ddude> does filezilla have an silent mode to upload files?
[12:08] <sephy> it is a .package file
[12:08] <zcat[1] > sephy, use synaptic .. what's the program you wanted?
[12:08] <dimeotane> and the permissions on my users directory should be chmod to?
[12:08] <magic_ninja> what are they ubuntu printer drivers
[12:08] <Raider1> Curious .. Which version of gcc does Ubuntu 6.06 Server come with ?? Is there a link to a list of versions for common software that comes with it ?
[12:08] <Flannel> sephy, zcat[1] , mindstate, package files are from Autopackage.  sephy, what program are you wanting to install?
[12:08] <nfspeed99> how do i go out if i type man updatedb?
[12:08] <Flannel> Raider1: packages.ubuntu.com and you can look it all up ;)
[12:08] <nfspeed99> once i get to the end
[12:08] <Raider1> Sweet, thanks
[12:08] <atlantia> does anyone know why nvidia-settings would not have any twinview options anymore?
[12:09] <zcat[1] > ubuntu isn't windows. We generally try and avoid downloading random stuff off webpages and stick with the repos where possible.
[12:09] <magic_ninja> !cups
[12:09] <sephy> it is a MMORPG I downloaded for linux
[12:09] <ubotu> Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[12:09] <mindstate> Flannel: never knew about those im going to check that out
[12:09] <mindstate> thanks
[12:09] <yomm> !xdmcp
[12:09] <ubotu> xdmcp is the X Display Manger Control Protocol -- look at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/ to find out how to configure it
[12:09] <Flannel> sephy: usually one doesn't download the packages manually, the package manager (synaptic, and others) wil ldownload and install autmatically
[12:09] <sephy> and thats the file I got
[12:09] <magic_ninja> sephy what game
[12:09] <sephy> cant remember
[12:09] <socialdisorder> i keep getting an error saying no screens found what do i do?
[12:09] <sephy> the file is called ember-0.4.1
[12:09] <royel> dimeotane: when you setup new users, the permissions should already be set to a usuable state..
[12:09] <bruenig> sephy, if I read correctly, you can just double click it and it will install the autopackage software then install that particular package
[12:10] <reportingsjr> sorry flannel or whoever
[12:10] <sephy> it tries to open it in a text editor
[12:10] <reportingsjr> That was a horrible noise!
[12:10] <sephy> and says sorry cannot open file
[12:10] <who_cares> where can I get the file list for the eject package?
[12:10] <Raider1> Man, makes me feel like an idiot looking at all this, been so long since I've dont anything remotely related to the admin side of a linux
[12:10] <IPODS_OWN_ZUNES> So, yesterday, I was having a dream.
[12:10] <IPODS_OWN_ZUNES> And it was a freaking cool dream, too. I was on the run from an evil queen and these dragon-rider dudes were helping me, but they kept getting captured, until it's just me and the old leader, who's dying. So, leader starts to tell me The Secrets of the Dragons, in hopes that I'll take over for him.
[12:10] <IPODS_OWN_ZUNES> Just as I'm leaning in close to hear his last, dying words...
[12:10] <IPODS_OWN_ZUNES> MREEP MREEP MREEP MREEP
[12:10] <IPODS_OWN_ZUNES> Alarm clock.
[12:10] <Alonea> ok, I edit my menu.lst file, then so sudo update-grub, but when I go back to the menu.lst, it went back to how it was before. I am using Kubuntu.

[12:10] <sephy> cannot auto detect the coding
[12:10] <Alonea> (also, I am doing sudo vim menu.lst to get into file)

[12:11] <Raider1> Flannel, Are you very proficient with Ubuntu ?
[12:11] <reportingsjr> whats the command for apt get to install apach2 and php5?
[12:11] <bruenig> sephy, open a terminal, then do chmod +x whatever.package (replace whatever with whatever it is)
[12:11] <Flannel> reportingsjr: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP   follow those isntructions
[12:11] <sephy> kk
[12:11] <dimeotane> WTF.. all I did was chmod my directory to 644 and now it won't let me log in even though I chmod it back to 755
[12:11] <Flannel> reportingsjr: not the mysql ones, if you don't want to install mysql

[12:15] <SoulPropagatio1> b0r15: sudo apt-get install proftpd
[12:16] <bruenig> sephy, after you do that, you should be able to click on it
[12:16] <socialdisorder> well i've really messed it up so having to reinstall now!

[12:23] <linxeh> Waswat: you might need to reboot, install kernel module packages, or alsorts of things. are you trying to use the nvidia-glx driver by any chance ?
[12:23] <Waswat> i'm getting that x server error, here's a picture:
[12:23] <Waswat> http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/6456/img2120qj2.jpg
[12:23] <b0r15> somethings wrong, the text in this program is going crazy. I will reboot.
[12:23] <linxeh> Waswat: you need to scroll down to show the rest of the error
[12:23] <sephy> I think it worked
[12:23] <SpudDogg> Is there a GOOD tutorial online that explains how to rip DVDs to XviD using the command line?
[12:23] <Waswat> i'm trying to use the vesa driver, as recommended in the dutch forum
[12:23] <zcat[1] > yay, copying's finished.. now I can fix up /etc/fstab and (hopefully) boot off my nice new ext3 filesystem
[12:23] <bruenig> sephy, ok now double click on it
[12:23] <sephy> it asked me if I want to run the app
[12:24] <linxeh> Waswat: you might need to configure grub/lilo to boot into a framebuffer console
[12:24] <sephy> it is an executable text file
[12:24] <bruenig> sephy, choose just "Run"
[12:24] <Waswat> because i have a ati radeon :/
[12:24] <skyfish> Waswat: or you can go to /var/log/X11.conf
[12:24] <linxeh> Waswat: noooo not vesa
[12:24] <Waswat> wow, i've got no idea how to do that stuff :o
[12:24] <sinnadyr> Go for Windows Vista my friends.. Apparently, it seemes to be the best operating system there is :D So quit this linux-jibberish and vote Microsoft!
[12:24] <skyfish> Waswat: or something like that ^^ it showed me my errors ^^
[12:24] <linxeh> Waswat: I've got a radeon in this box. just use the ati driver for now
[12:24] <Waswat> which one should i use?
[12:24] <b0r15> sorry for that. What command should I use for proftpd?
[12:25] <Waswat> even for an x850xt?
[12:25] <Xzenome> Anyone got any ideas how I could take the icons from Bluecurve and use them with the human theme?
[12:25] <skyfish> Waswat: which card have you got and do you use lot's of 3D stuff?
[12:25] <linxeh> Waswat: or possibly the "radeon" driver. later you can try the fglrx driver if you want accelerated gfx
[12:25] <linxeh> Waswat: I'm using an M300, whcih is an x300
[12:25] <linxeh> I'll have a look at your card though hang on
[12:25] <Waswat> i aye, planning to use some 3d stuff ^^
[12:25] <SpudDogg> Could someone here help me out with how to rip DVDs to .AVIs using the command line?
[12:25] <Waswat> on ubuntu atleast, but first i gotta install it :/
[12:25] <sephy> right
[12:25] <sephy> it didnt do anything
[12:25] <b0r15> Look, I need help but the computer froze, and Konversation printed out text like crazy. I don't know what just happened.
[12:26] <skyfish> Waswat: the ati drivers didn't work for me so I had to use fglrx
[12:26] <Xzenome> SpudDogg, are you insane, rip a DVD to avi, you won't have any space left on your hard drive.
[12:26] <bzbb> sudo mount 192.168.2.13:/media/hda1/ /media/fraxinus/
[12:26] <bzbb> mount: 192.168.2.13:/media/hda1/ failed, reason given by server: Permission denied
[12:26] <bruenig> sephy, well then the package is a piece of crap or you didn't follow something because if it is executable it should work
[12:26] <Waswat> is that on the list skyfish
[12:26] <Waswat> ?
[12:26] <linxeh> Waswat: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-265817.html
[12:26] <SpudDogg> Xzenome, drive space is not an issue for me ;)
[12:26] <skyfish> Waswat: which list?
[12:26] <sephy> ok
[12:26] <slipstream3d> Xzenome: why wouldn't he?
[12:26] <dmb062082> dvd compliant mpeg to avi reduces file size dude
[12:26] <dmb062082> xvid that is
[12:26] <royel> bzbb: try prefacing //192. etc...
[12:27] <Waswat> ooh
[12:27] <linxeh> Waswat: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2007697
[12:27] <slipstream3d> "avi" is just a container, you can use whatever codec you want, and there are many super-efficient codecs like xvid, dvix, h.264...
[12:27] <Waswat> the list i get after using the command to reconfigure the xserver-xorg
[12:27] <dmb062082> yup yup xvid = god
[12:27] <royel> bzbb: in fact, sudo mount 192.168.2.13:/media/hda1/ /media/fraxinus/

[12:27] <Waswat> thanks linxeh, i'll check it out right now ^_^
[12:27] <b0r15> now, I think you told me to run "sudo apt-chache install proftpd"?
[12:27] <skyfish> Waswat: I can't remember ^^;; but you can also edit xorg manually
[12:27] <who_cares> no
[12:27] <unop> b0r15,  sudo aptitude install proftpd
[12:27] <slipstream3d> That all being said, I haven't the foggiest idea how to do DVD ripping on Linux ;)
[12:27] <SpudDogg> dmb062082, how do you rip your movies?
[12:27] <royel> bzbb: in fact, sudo mount -t smbfs //192.168.2.13:/media/hda1/ /media/fraxinus/ is probably more like what your trying to do.
[12:28] <marcos> g
[12:28] <who_cares> it's "apt-cache search proftpd"
[12:28] <b0r15> error:

[12:28] <skyfish> I'm using fglrx driver because the opensource ones didn't work for me
, try K3B
[12:28] <koiron> can anyone tell me how safe it is to resize my windows ntfs partition when installing ubuntu?
[12:28] <royel> bzbb: ah, you still need to use //192. if its a network share
[12:28] <SpudDogg> dmb062082, dvdshrink in linux?
[12:29] <dmb062082> yes spud
[12:29] <skyfish> To log in to XGL without the white screen
[12:29] <unop> b0r15,  who_cares has you sussed :)
[12:29] <who_cares> b0r15: run "sudo apt-get update" then
[12:29] <skyfish> I need to type 1 line of code into the terminal
[12:29] <belyle> koiron: i haven't had much luck resizing ntfs
[12:29] <skyfish> is there a way to get this code typed in automatically?
[12:29] <bzbb> royel: sudo mount -t nfs //192.168.2.13:/media/hda1/ /media/fraxinus
[12:29] <bzbb> mount: can't get address for //192.168.2.13
[12:29] <b0r15> g2g
[12:29] <slipstream3d> Hmm, perhaps I will, but right now I'm trying to beat Squid into my startup scripts :D
[12:29] <belyle> koiron: but as long as you have your data backed up, you can give it a shot
[12:29] <unop> skyfish,  use an alias or function as a shortcut if you are lazy :)
[12:29] <skyfish> unop: hehe, how do I do that?
[12:29] <SpudDogg> dmb062082, I assume you ran that via wine?
[12:30] <royel> bzbb: that looks better, you may need sudo mount -t nfs -o username=xxx as well..
[12:30] <Xzenome> SpudDogg, http://textsnippets.com/posts/show/287
[12:30] <skyfish> unop: the problem is that the white screen is a hit or miss
[12:30] <Waswat> holy crap that's so complicated XD
[12:30] <bzbb> royel, not for NFS
[12:30] <dmb062082> yes i ran in xover office and used the linux native dvdshrink
[12:30] <bzbb> the -o syntax is not supported
[12:30] <koiron> belyle: hmm so if it fails, what are my other options?  delete the partition entirely and redo them accordingly?
[12:30] <unop> skyfish,  alias im_lazy='this here is one really long command i really cant be asked to type out everytime'
[12:30] <royel> bzbb: wasn't sure, I dont use it myself
[12:30] <Trackilizer> Hey everyone, hope you can help me. I now have a dual-screen setup using twinview but since making some changes to the xorg.conf file i can't seem to be able to play any 3D games like nexuiz anymore, what is it i have to change in the xorg.conf file so that i can play games again?
[12:30] <dmb062082> there is a linux native version around somewhere ive used it.. dvdshrink that is
[12:30] <skyfish> unop: if the white screen is there already I need to logout/in and hope it's not there before I can type anything into the terminal
[12:30] <SpudDogg> Xzenome, thanks, but I tried that method...it's very slow
[12:31] <unop> skyfish,  what whitescreen is this?
[12:31] <skyfish> unop: XGL and Beryl T______T
[12:31] <unop> skyfish,  ahh, =) no idea about those bloatware :)
[12:31] <toulouse> hey guys, how can i force a cd to mount
[12:31] <belyle> koiron: that is an option, yes. You can also find and use the gparted live cd to resize and repartition
[12:31] <toulouse> it doesnt seem to want to
[12:31] <linxeh> Xzenome: errr.... <Xzenome> SpudDogg, are you insane, rip a DVD to avi, you won't have any space left on your hard drive. ?????
[12:32] <belyle> koiron: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[12:32] <bzbb> royel, when I try to use smb, I get 7009: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnosuchshare (You specified an invalid share name)
[12:32] <skyfish> unop: xD but I'll give the alias a shot, so I type alias im_lazy='code'
[12:32] <bzbb> even though I've got the sharename right
[12:32] <skyfish> unop: and next time I just type im_lazy and that should work?
[12:32] <royel> bzbb: obviously it's not a samba share then
[12:32] <koiron> thanks belyle
[12:32] <bzbb> I have it shared both ways
[12:32] <toulouse> guys, how do i make a cd mount even if it doesnt want to
[12:32] <royel> bzbb: you said it was using NFS
[12:32] <linxeh> Xzenome: even without recompressing, a typical $100 hard drive can store around 40 full length movies
[12:32] <bzbb> I have it shared with both
[12:32] <unop> skyfish,  yes, if you're code takes no arguments -- if you want the alias to last -- put the line in ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_aliases
[12:32] <royel> bzbb: you have to set up one or the other first.. there not there automatically
[12:33] <bzbb> yes, I set both up
[12:33] <Xzenome> linxeh, I meant uncompressed AVIs
[12:33] <mindstate> hey i need some help with this error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7113/ when using apt-get..anyone?
[12:33] <skyfish> unop: kk, I'll go try it out
[12:33] <matason> I know I can't change my username right? So I create a new user, mv everything from my current home folder into the new users home folder and carry on as normal?
[12:33] <Xzenome> Where does ubuntu store the files for themes?
[12:34] <matason> Also add the new username to the same groups that I belong to now - is there anything else I would need to do?
[12:34] <belyle> has anyone here had luck tri-booting xp, vista, and ubuntu?  I'd like to try, but am afraid if GRUB screws up my mbr I'll lose both windows installs.  Do you know if there is an easy way to recover the vista boot sector like there is in xp?
[12:34] <linxeh> Xzenome: well that would be ridiculous; avi is just a container format for any kind of data. the most likely thing a ripper would do is put mpeg2 frames from the dvd straight into the avi
[12:34] <unop> matason,  you can change your username sure -- it requires you edit the /etc/passwd file tho (which i dont recommend generally unless you know what you are doing)
[12:34] <linxeh> Xzenome: it would take ages too :)
[12:34] <royel> bzbb: what are you connecting to? another linux box?
[12:34] <bzbb> yeah
[12:35] <SpudDogg> belyle, if you install ubuntu last, grub will keep the MBR intact
[12:35] <bzbb> I have 2 linux boxes
[12:35] <royel> bzbb: an you set up Samba on that machine?
[12:35] <bzbb> right
[12:35] <matason> unop: Oh really? I didn't think it was possible
[12:36] <zcat[1] > unop, passwd and shadow and rename the home directory and probably a few other things...
[12:36] <SPACE_NINJA> Why is ubuntu so popular?
[12:36] <royel> bzbb: first off, the //192.168.x.x/media/hda1 does not look like a samba share to me, unless you just used wierd names..
[12:36] <koiron> belyle: gparted -- whats the chances it'll fail too? :D
[12:36] <Incompetnce> hi guys. is there a better channel to be in for support questions or should i ask away here?
[12:36] <Xzenome> linxeh, I'm the kind of person that captures from a web cam to uncompressed (or badly compressed) AVI for a few hours and then wonders why my hard drive is full.
[12:37] <belyle> SpuddDogg: I know that's the theory, but I've had grub fail several times with just xp.  Where I can't boot either OS
[12:37] <unop> matason,  linux/unix (and even windows) identify you by a user and group ID (every user has a unique one) if you maintain the same IDs, you can change details such as username, homedir, etc and carry on as normal
[12:37] <mindstate> hey i need some help with this error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7113/ when using apt-get..anyone? its really annoying
[12:37] <bzbb> sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=john,password=**** //192.168.2.13/music /media/fraxinus
[12:37] <mrpoundsign> SPACE_NINJA: that's not an easy question to answer.  :)  For me, I like it because a lot of it Just Works....
[12:37] <mrpoundsign> SPACE_NINJA: while still giving you tools to fix the stuff that doesn't
[12:37] <bzbb> I'm trying to pastebin the relavent bit of my smbd.conf, but pastebin is being slow
[12:37] <belyle> koiron: I think it's pretty solid.  I haven't used it myself (I prefer to just start fresh, as it were), but I have read much more positive than bad about it on the forums
[12:37] <royel> bzbb: that should work, if all else is correct.. did you do: sudo apt-get install smbfs on your client?
[12:37] <matason> unop: Thanks a lot - that'll be easier that setting up a new user and transfering everything
[12:38] <mrpoundsign> SPACE_NINJA: for example, I need httpd/2.2.4 with php 5.2.1 and a newer subversion.  that's about all the customization I need to worry about.
[12:38] <bzbb> yes
[12:38] <Xzenome> So, does anyone know where Ubuntu stores the theme files?
[12:38] <royel> bzbb: well, did it not mount?
[12:38] <bzbb> it doesn't mount
[12:38] <bzbb> errnoshare
[12:38] <koiron> cool thanks belyle
[12:38] <unop> matason,  you'll also need to edit /etc/shadow to change username .. be very careful when editing these files
[12:38] <belyle> is there an easy-ish way to make sure GRUB will install properly in the presence of raid and/or sata drives?  The problem I have is that I'm running 2 ide, 1 raid and 1 sata drive in my system and for some reason GRUB never installs correctly

[12:39] <zcat[1] > unop, yeah, but if your user is unop you don't want your ~ to be /home/somethingelse

[12:41] <zcat[1] > unop, which means that making a nre user and copying all the files over is just as hard as renaming a user. You still have to fix the config anyhow.

[12:45] <Sisodiya> belyle: please explain me in detail...I m new tu linux
[12:45] <belyle> sisodiya: for some reason, it doesn't show up on my menus, so I can't walk you through it exactly, but you'll need to tell the utility a folder to mount the disk to, the activate the partition/disk in the utility.  YOu should be able to see it then.  If that doesn't work, search the forums for the command line way to do it and make it permanent
[12:45] <krbrz> is it possible to set up different languages on ubuntu? ... i mean, i want userX's interface in english and userY's in french, is it possible without having to change it @ "Options" at the login screen

[12:49] <Trackilizer> Hi. Just wanted to ask what the command is to reconfigure X from the command line? using bitchx right now.
[12:49] <linxeh> piro_: well there is freenx too. I've paid for a licence to a better version I can't use though :)
[12:49] <unop> DjBrix,  ensure you have all the ubuntu !repositories enabled and try this again
[12:49] <toulouse> if i install another linux, do i need to make a seperate swap space???
[12:49] <unop> !fixres > Trackilizer
[12:50] <DjBrix> unop im totaly sure!
[12:50] <toulouse> !swap
[12:50] <ubotu> swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info
[12:50] <tom47> toulouse: no they can be shared quite happily
[12:50] <piro_> thought freenx and nomachines nxserver were two different things?
[12:50] <unop> DjBrix,  and you have updated apt recently?
[12:50] <toulouse> cool
[12:50] <Incompetnce> ok, one other little question; theres a bewildering number of different latex programs available. to get TeXing, what do i need? preferably with full maths libraries...
[12:50] <DjBrix> unop i used apt-get upgrade and apt-get update
[12:50] <arnor> does anyone know how to fix an Ubuntu distro?
[12:50] <linxeh> Incompetnce: sudo apt-get install tetex

[12:51] <slipstream3d> Woohoo! It lives! Squid 2.6.STABLE9 installed and running on my Ubuntu Server box, despite the fact it's not in the repository!
[12:51] <Trackilizer> I ment the command that went some thing like this "dpgk -i reconfigure xserver" or something of that nature, can't quite remember it.
[12:51] <tom47> Incompetnce: you could try installing an rpm pckage using alien buut that too can sometimes be problematic
[12:51] <Incompetnce> on windows  had texnic center which was a neat little text editor with a button to export to pdf/div whatever to see how youre progressing...

[01:22] <SoulPropagatio1> My wireless keeps randomly dying (ndiswrapperred) -- when I run a ping it gives Network Unreachable, ifdown says SIOCDELRT: No such process, ifup (before ifdowning) says Interface Already Configured. I turned it back on and it pinged my router just fine for about 5-6 minutes then it died again. What can I do?
[01:22] <kane77> lets_play_poker, ubotu is just a bot :D

[01:25] <bauer77> SoulPropagatio1: what was the question
[01:26] <SoulPropagatio1> My wireless keeps randomly dying (ndiswrapperred) -- when I run a ping it gives Network Unreachable, ifdown says SIOCDELRT: No such process, ifup (before ifdowning) says Interface Already Configured. I turned it back on and it pinged my router just fine for about 5-6 minutes then it died again. What can I do?
[01:26] <bauer77> Does the ping completely die out, or is it intermittent.
[01:26] <dfwlinuxguy> who_cares... sorry I don't see anything that helps in that last paste
[01:27] <tom47> meutrinomass OpenOffice.org Writer does not allow you to rotate graphics. However, OpenOffice.org Draw will. To get a rotated graphic into your Writer document, open a new Draw document (File, New, Drawing) and insert and rotate the graphic there. Then, Copy the rotated graphic and paste it into your Writer document.

My frustration has reached it's limit, because OO is not capable of importing .ps files either, which I had to import to gimp and from there get the .pngs, import them to openoffice, only to find out that while I can do things like write macros, I cannot rotate a picture.

[01:49] <matty_v> thanks for the link dfwlinuxguy - but the computer doesnt have internet access without the wireless card and hense i cant get network-manager
[01:49] <royel> jrib: cause edgy is buggy ..
[01:49] <jrib> royel: ?

[01:50] <dfwlinuxguy> matty_v you can't download it to a usb key and then walk it over to your linux box?

[01:50] <dreamable> i just install 6.10
[01:50] <matty_v> valid point... i will try that
[01:51] <dreamable> i configured .bash_profile
[01:51] <dreamable> but it doesn't work
[01:51] <dfwlinuxguy> matty_v your linux box doesn't even have a wired network? I find that hard to believe
[01:51] <dreamable> i have to source ~/.bash_profile to make it work
[01:51] <matty_v> it does but the driver isnt supported in linux
[01:51] <dreamable> anybody knows why?
[01:51] <_goofy_> how do i find out the BusID of my videocard
[01:51] <jrib> dreamable: because .bash_profile is only sourced for a login shell.  What are you trying to do?
[01:52] <jrib> a5benwillis: also, for rebuilding packages http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html
[01:52] <dreamable> I start the terminal or xterm
[01:52] <dreamable> it doesn't work

[01:52] <SPACE_NINJA> is fluxbuntu an official ubuntu version?
[01:52] <dreamable> when will it be executed?
[01:52] <jrib> dreamable: when it's a login shell
[01:52] <dreamable> I want to make it work automatically when i start a terminal
[01:53] <jrib> dreamable: .bashrc gets sourced for all terminals you open in X, everytime you open one

[01:55] <ubotu> Slym: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.

[01:55] <Slym> thanks alot everyone :)
[01:55] <a5benwillis> makes sense. thanks
[01:55] <yoooder> dfwlinuxguy: thanks for the grub advice, I'm going to try it now--hopefully I won't be back :)

[02:02] <klick> royel, the up arrow just shows me my previous command even if it has nothing to do with the command i forgot
[02:02] <jrib> dAndy: does it work if you make it mandatory?

[02:02] <klick> jrib, hows that ctrl R thing work.. i typed sudo then pressed ctrl + r dialog poped up about reverse string.. but what do i do next
[02:03] <ncdc> someone portuguese??
[02:03] <royel> klick: yeah, I didnt read well enough what you were asking

[02:06] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[02:06] <dAndy> jrib: nope still nothing, i also removed .gconfd fwiw

[02:06] <jrib> dAndy: test a different gconf setting
[02:06] <javiolo> jrib royel well, easy than iptables ? :P
[02:07] <Sulo_Seppa> Thanks
[02:07] <linxeh> its a shame there is no updated java5 package, or a java6 package
[02:07] <royel> javiolo: well, to me iptables is not easy, I use shorewall.. but jrib may say the reverse :)
[02:07] <jrib> Sulo_Seppa: see it really is there: http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=sun-java6-jre&searchon=names&subword=1&version=edgy-backports&release=all
[02:07] <linxeh> Sulo_Seppa: the java6 packages are a bit of a problem at the moment. jpackage doesnt have java6 support as I understand it, and you need to do some hacks to build a java6 package yourself

[02:08] <royel> _goofy_: probably with "Q"
[02:09] <javiolo> royel the site says: Shorewall is not the easiest to use of the available iptables configuration tools but I believe that it is the most flexible and powerful
[02:09] <javiolo> heh
[02:09] <dfwlinuxguy> sorry it's q
[02:09] <royel> javiolo: see, it's a matter of opinion... hence why I stated firstly that fact! :)

[02:18] <xander> how do i update from ubuntu 5.0.4 to 6.10
[02:18] <tom47> Blahiggy have you imported the file/firectory into rhythmbox?

[02:21] <surb> jrib: I can't adjust my time back, either, because I need to use su to do it.

[02:22] <`Jessie> I have a laptop that supports 1280x800, and it's listed like that in the xorg.conf but the gnome screen resolution applet says 1024x768; I don't think it's actually doing 1280x800. How can I fix this?
[02:22] <jrib> apocalypse: what command did you use to install
[02:22] <surb> jrib: 'Kay.  Be back in a second.
[02:22] <apocalypse> ./configure ,  make, sudo make install
[02:22] <Blahiggy> How do I play mp3's in RYTHMBOX?  The wiki is full of crap, stop linking me there.  RYTHMBOX doesn't even use gstreamer or xine so making me download codecs for them wont help
[02:23] <transgress_> `Jessie: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and disable all but 1280x800 ... also what video card driver are you using?
[02:23] <klick> Blahiggy, can you play ogg files?
[02:23] <jrib> apocalypse: then you can try 'sudo make uninstall' but it is not guaranateed to exist... In the future consider using checkinstall
[02:23] <jrib> !checkinstall | apocalypse
[02:23] <ubotu> apocalypse: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!
[02:23] <mkdelta> Hello, does anybody know a repo that has libc6 (>= 2.4-1)? I need it for xwinwrap.
[02:23] <matty_v> Does anyone have any experiance with VariCAD Viewer here?
[02:23] <jrib> Blahiggy: rhythmbox uses gstreamer afaik
[02:23] <klick> you probably dont have the mo3 decoder installed
[02:23] <`Jessie> transgress_: i810
[02:23] <apocalypse> jrib: thanks for the tip, didn't know about that
[02:23] <Blahiggy> jrib: Then you'd think it would work wouldn't you ; ).
[02:24] <royel> Blahiggy: it's not the players there that were linking for, its teh w32codecs that you need to enable playback of mp3's.. suggest you actually read the article before you assume something
[02:24] <transgress_> `Jessie: alternatively you can hand edit your xorg.conf file, but dpkg-reconfigure tends to be easier
[02:24] <Blahiggy> royel: That's double assuming, I read the page and it clearly explained to do an app get for gstreamer codecs I already had for rythm box
[02:24] <apocalypse> jrib: sudo make uninstall doesnt' work , " no rule to mkae target uninstall"
[02:24] <atlantia> anyone here have experience with installing nvidia binary drivers? I have questions (Are they better?) and maybe a tech question or two (have the .bin package, having issues properly getting module to compile... also wondering about proper clean up of nvidia-glx stuff
[02:25] <apocalypse> jrib: cancel that, i am retarded i got it. i wasn't in the right folder
[02:25] <klick> Blahiggy, if you can play ogg files, just get automatix and install the mp3 codecs, and it will work, mine works fine
[02:25] <jrib> apocalypse: then you will have to remove the files manually or install again using checkinstall and then remove the package that checkinstall creates and installs (since it will overwrite your previous install)
[02:25] <jeeves_Moss> jrib:  do you have any ideas on doing a fresh install for my laptop?  I can't get my DVD-ROM to work.  I'd prefer NOT to do a fresh install, but I can't think any way of getting the thing to work.

[02:27] <arrenlex> itguru: sorry, kde-core
[02:27] <atlantia> dfwlinuxguy, thats helpful, i just bought a new monitor for my laptop here, and I seem to notice that 1.) along the way I downgraded apparently, my splash screen for nvidia has changed and 2.) the performance has changed and now nvidia-settings is missing the option to manipulate twinview stuff
[02:27] <quaal> anyone use openvpn ? having a problem connecting to a server. getting this error http://pastebin.ca/368365

[02:27] <b0r15> I could not find the universe or multiverse packages in the package manager
[02:27] <arrenlex> itguru: That's kdebase. I always confuse the apostrophes of those two. I think they provide pretty much the same thing.
[02:28] <atlantia> dfwlinuxguy, cant seem to get the kernel module to compile and not sure how to 86 all the old nvidia stuff properly first for a clean install
[02:28] <jeeves_Moss> dfwlinuxguy:  I don't have a lot of space on the partition.  as I said, I can't get DRIP to see the DVD drive (or any other DVD disk for that matter)

[02:28] <`Jessie> transgress_: I selected 1280x800
[02:28] <dfwlinuxguy> jeeves_moss you don't have to burn it to cd/dvd. just mount the iso image directly
[02:28] <atlantia> dfwlinuxguy, errm wait just found  a nice howto for all of the above, lemme give this a shot
[02:28] <itguru> arrenlex, Thanks a bunch, I've been kicking myself for like 3 hours trying to figure out how to install KDE without all the bloat :)
[02:28] <johan_> i've been through grub manual but cant find how to deactivate the splash
[02:28] <`Jessie> transgress_: gnome still says it's using 1024x768
[02:29] <arrenlex> tschacka: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde
[02:29] <jeeves_Moss> dfwlinuxguy:  can you give me a hand to try to fix this DVD-ROM issue?  I'd prefer not to kill this install.
[02:29] <itguru> I've got another one for you guys - if I've compiled some software, and installed it using sudo make install, how do I get rid of it?

[02:30] <Hasrat_USA> how can i disable spellcheck in Xchat?
[02:30] <itguru> arrenlex, jrib - There is no uninstall :( I already tried that. But thanks for he check install tip
[02:30] <atlantia> rarrghh.. i know why my graphics drivers got borked, i upgraded the kernel... oh yeah
[02:30] <jrib> itguru: then you will have to remove the files manually or install again using checkinstall and then remove the package that checkinstall creates and installs (since it will overwrite your previous install)
[02:30] <tschacka> arrenlex: cool it works , thank you very much
[02:31] <jeeves_Moss> dfwlinuxguy: the issue is that the drive is in a laptop, and it's a combo drive that burns DVDs.  So, I can get it to read CDs, but I can't get it to read ANY DVD disks
[02:31] <gumpish> peeks:  sure, take write permission away from yourself
[02:31] <itguru> jrib, I was considering that!
[02:31] <peeks> gumpish, how ?
[02:31] <jeeves_Moss> jrib:  it installs/reads CDs fine, it's just that it dosen't see the DVD
[02:31] <transgress_> `Jessie: when you did dpkg-reconfigure did you unselect 1024x768?  because you have to scroll down to see that
[02:31] <dfwlinuxguy> what type of dvd discs are you trying to "read"
[02:31] <`Jessie> yes, I did transgress_

[02:32] <Zand3r> Hi all.. I am trying to install the latest Ubuntu on a PC that has no CD drive and I get the message "bin/sh: Can't access tty; Job control turned off" during the initial boot of the installation CD from an external USB CD drive. I am guessing my problem is specific to the fact that I am trying to install from a USB CD drive but could not find anything exactly the same mentioned in the FAQ. Any suggestions?
[02:32] <tschacka> itguru: it is a gnu program to install packages using symlinks
[02:32] <jrib> jeeves_Moss: have dvd's ever worked with ubuntu?
[02:32] <`Jessie> transgress_: I only see 1280x800 in the xorg.conf
[02:32] <jeeves_Moss> dfwlinuxguy:  currently, I'm trying to rip a DVD to my HDD to compress it into Divx.
[02:32] <`Jessie> but gnome says 1024x768
[02:32] <transgress_> `Jessie: okay yeah view your log file
[02:32] <`Jessie> the display doesn't 'look' right
[02:33] <jeeves_Moss> jrib:  no, I've never been able to get it to read a DVD in Ubuntu
[02:33] <`Jessie> transgress_: what am I looking for?
[02:33] <cdric> i found 3 ways to get beryl working with my nvidia card (7600gs) ... with XGL, with AIXGL and one method without XGL nor AIXGL ... which one is the best ?
[02:33] <itguru> tschacka, I'll go check out that link, thanks for the tip
[02:33] <mdl178> Is there a reason the ubuntu docs usually tell you to "sudo aptitude install ..." rather than "sudo apt-get install ..."
[02:33] <jrib> jeeves_Moss: works fine in "the other OS"?
[02:33] <jeeves_Moss> jrib:  yep, I can read/burn CD/DVDs in M$
[02:33] <matty_v> hmmm my system has frozen, whats the hotkey to bring up task manager in ubuntu?
[02:34] <TheDebugger> cdric: I'm using neither glx or aiglx, i'm using the nvidia driver ( Works perfectly for me )
[02:34] <dfwlinuxguy> jeeves_Moss I'm really certain that this is not an issue that re-installing is going to fix. I'm sure you're just not doing it right
[02:34] <jeeves_Moss> jrib:  yes, it works fine in other OSs, it's just Ubuntu
[02:34] <jrib> mdl178: aptitude used to keep track of dependencies that got pulled in so it was preferred.  Now, apt-get has autoremove too to remove unnecessary deps, so it's not as big a deal
[02:34] <b0r15> Ok, I have read the docs, how do I enable universe?-how do I edit the file?
[02:34] <mdl178> thanks jrib
[02:34] <jeeves_Moss> dfwlinuxguy:  yea, it works in Windowz, but dosen't work in Ubuntu.  I'm lost as to how to make it work
[02:35] <jrib> dfwlinuxguy: does it just not detect the dvd was inserted at all?
[02:35] <dfwlinuxguy> jeeves_Moss there are 3 programs needed to do what you are describing.
[02:35] <cdric> Thanks for the info TheDebugger. I'm already using compiz with only the nvidia driver on another computer. i was wondering if that was the best solution for beryl.
[02:35] <SpudDogg> b0r15, 'sudo pico /etc/apt/sources.list' and un-comment all the commented lines
[02:35] <dfwlinuxguy> jrib he's not saying
[02:36] <jeeves_Moss> dfwlinuxguy:  care to assist me to fix it?
[02:36] <dfwlinuxguy> jrib I'm trying to get that out of him
[02:36] <IPODS_OWN_ZUNES> I a, having problems while updating with java
[02:36] <SpudDogg> !jre
[02:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about jre - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:36] <SpudDogg> !java
[02:36] <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. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[02:36] <dfwlinuxguy> jrib I've asked 2 or 3 times what kind of DVD he is trying to "read"
[02:36] <arrenlex> How do I achieve the echo "foo" >> /var/bar effect with sudo?
[02:36] <jrib> arrenlex: use tee
[02:37] <arrenlex> jrib: With what syntax?
[02:37] <jrib> arrenlex: echo "foo" | sudo tee -a /var/bar
[02:37] <arrenlex> jrib: That seems to work. Thanks.
[02:38] <jrib> IPODS_OWN_ZUNES: what are you trying to do?  how are you trying to do it? and what happens exactly?
[02:38] <`Jessie> anyone have any other ideas?
[02:38] <`Jessie> my logs weren't helpful
[02:38] <`Jessie> !widescren
[02:38] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about widescren - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:38] <`Jessie> !widescreen
[02:38] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about widescreen - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:39] <IPODS_OWN_ZUNES> jrib: it was about a hour ago, and i dont really know much anymore, but i remember that the update failed, and i just wrote no
[02:39] <jeeves_Moss> ubitu:  what do you need to know about widescreen?
[02:39] <jrib> IPODS_OWN_ZUNES: why don't you try again now so you can give us more information?
[02:39] <b0r15> just a question, do I need a firewall for Linux in between the modem and computer?
[02:40] <eletido> any reason why gedit thinks the MIME type of a .java file is C source code when I have comments at the top of file, but Java source code when there aren't comments at the top of the file? that a bug?
[02:40] <joshritger> is there a utility other than synaptic for downloading apps, i have used xubuntu a while ago and i remember a program that cataloged all of the available software and had a lil info about each app
[02:40] <SpudDogg> b0r15, do you use a router?
[02:40] <b0r15> I use Smoothwall dedicated hardware firewall-custom Linux
[02:40] <jrib> joshritger: adept, gnome-app-install, apt-get, aptitude?
[02:41] <alex_spaz> hello
[02:41] <SpudDogg> b0r15, sounds like you already have a firewall...why are you asking if you need one?
[02:41] <joshritger> i will try that
[02:41] <alex_spaz> how can i change setting for my videocard
[02:41] <BenPA> hi all ... can anyone tell me how I can tell which specific kde desktop look I have ... I have a version of kde on my work computer and cannot tell which version or look I installed
[02:41] <xander> i keep getting a warning sign saying your disp. is no longer supported and i can't upgrade to 6.10
[02:41] <b0r15> someone asked me why I have one if I use Linux..I was just wondering if it's necessary
[02:41] <jrib> xander: why not?
[02:41] <alex_spaz> how can i change setting for my videocard
[02:41] <xander> i'm not sure
[02:42] <jrib> alex_spaz: what settings?
[02:42] <alex_spaz> xorg.config
[02:42] <jrib> xander: what version are you using now?
[02:42] <Alonea> I have tries acpi=off and acpi=force with no luck. Also tried turning off splash. I still can't reboot or turn off my computer through the log out button (which opens the box and you choose what you want to do)
[02:42] <xander> i'ts downloading package files
[02:42] <b0r15> ok, I have installed proFTPd. I want to easily configure it (preferably gui), should I choose standalone or inetd?
[02:43] <xander> never mind thank you for all your help
[02:43] <itguru> b0r15, If you want to know what to tell the person, who was trying to be a smartass, and ask you why you have a firewall if you use linux, ask them this, why do they have two locks on thier door? One big superlock would be great, but it's better to make the  bad guys jump through more hops, gives you more time, and a better chance of catching and stopping them
[02:43] <alex_spaz> where can i turn on 3d acceleration
[02:43] <jrib> !nvidia | alex_spaz
[02:43] <ubotu> alex_spaz: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:43] <dfwlinuxguy> b0r15 standalone
[02:44] <b0r15> I see, so it helps but not as much a necessity compared to Microsuck Windblows XPlode.
[02:44] <BenPA> hi all ... can anyone tell me how I can tell which specific kde desktop look I have ... I have a version of kde on my work computer and cannot tell which version or look I installed
[02:44] <Alonea> again, this happened after I installed drivers so I could have 3d acceleration, which is working splendedly.
[02:44] <arrenlex> BenPA: Open any KDE application (like konqueror) and go to help-about.
[02:44] <arrenlex> BenPA: That is, about KDE.
[02:45] <arrenlex> BenPA: Or kcontrol. Basically anything QT.
[02:45] <toulouse>  so i went into the terminal, the real one, and played an ascii game, but.... now how do i reset that terminal
[02:45] <alex_spaz> is a trident card ati or nvidia
[02:45] <arrenlex> BenPA Or else issue "dpkg -l kdelibs4c2a" in the terminal and it'll tell you what version.
[02:45] <dfwlinuxguy> b0r15 why not use vsftpd it is the most secure
[02:46] <tschacka> i am been the guy from aboe who wants to get rid of gnome. i have been able to remove almost all packages but now i get a dpkg error code( 1 ) . Any help? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7131/
[02:46] <jrib> toulouse: reset
[02:46] <toulouse> guys, what do i do when the terminal no longer has a prompt tho
[02:46] <toulouse> jrib: it doenst have the normal bash@computer_name:~$
[02:46] <alex_spaz> is a trident card ati or nvidia
[02:46] <jrib> toulouse: what does it have?  what crazy game is this?
[02:46] <b0r15> should I use that? I want the ftp server to also be accessible from a public terminal, just in case.
[02:46] <toulouse> it was overkill
[02:47] <dfwlinuxguy> jrib 8)
[02:47] <toulouse> and i quit the game, but it just went back to the black screen
[02:47] <jrib> toulouse: tried ctrl-c?
[02:47] <toulouse> without a prompt
[02:47] <toulouse> lemme try that
[02:47] <dfwlinuxguy> b0r15 I dumped proftpd for vsftpd years ago
[02:47] <alex_spaz> how do i know if my card is ati or nvidia
[02:47] <transgress_> `Jessie: sorry i was away working on my desktop
[02:47] <arrenlex> alex_spaz: lspci | grep -i video
[02:48] <Hasrat_USA> b0r15 you found any work-around for the downloading/firewall problem yet?
[02:48] <b0r15> will it let me access without encryption?
[02:48] <toulouse> guys, that doesnt do anything
[02:48] <arrenlex> alex_spaz: Sorry, that's lspci | grep -i display
[02:48] <toulouse> it clears the screen,but i have no prompt
[02:48] <transgress_> `Jessie: can you just put your Xorg.0.log to a pastebin?
[02:48] <alex_spaz> arrenlex im new to all this what does this mean
[02:48] <jrib> toulouse: press it more than once.  Maybe trl ctrl-\
[02:48] <arrenlex> !terminal | alex_spaz
[02:48] <ubotu> alex_spaz: 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
[02:48] <`Jessie> transgress_: let me ask a simpler question
[02:48] <`Jessie> is there any way I can ask my monitor what the sync ranges should be?
[02:49] <b0r15> no, but it downloads normal files ok
[02:49] <BenPA> thank you all for your help but the buttons look different ... I am not sure how to get the same look that I have on another computer running the same desktop
[02:49] <b0r15> so if I use vsftpd, I could both have encrypted and non-encrypted connections?
[02:49] <arrenlex> BenPA: Open kcontrol and open the appearance and themes option (top one).
[02:49] <transgress_> `Jessie: well do you know what type of monitor?  because if so you can google it, or you can trial and error it.
[02:49] <toulouse> jrib: that doesnt seem to do much, it stil has no prompt. this is weird
[02:49] <arrenlex> BenPA: Everything is configured there.
[02:49] <Alonea> alex_spaz: Best thing to do now is use google and see what you can find.
[02:50] <jrib> toulouse: let me try this game.  Does it always happen?
[02:50] <`Jessie> transgress_:  this is an HP Pavilion dv6245us Notebook
[02:50] <matty_v> Does anyone know how to setup Evolution to recieve email from multiple exchange accounts? or is it only limited to 1?
[02:50] <dfwlinuxguy> b0r15 yes
[02:50] <toulouse> jrib: first time to try it
[02:50] <who_cares> hey dfwlinuxguy
[02:50] <transgress_> `Jessie: is it a 15.4 inch monitor?
[02:50] <SoulPropagatio1> dfwlinuxguy: still not working
[02:50] <dfwlinuxguy> who_cares hi
[02:50] <who_cares> I had to run and do a bunch of stuff
[02:50] <jrib> toulouse: you quit by just pressing q?
[02:50] <who_cares> sorry
[02:50] <royel> `Jessie: often you can find your sync rates by googling for the specs..
[02:50] <Hasrat_USA> sorry matty i have never used a seperate software to manage emails in my entire life
[02:51] <dfwlinuxguy> who_cares did you kill those processes and try to restart it?
[02:51] <adam_> !stunnel
[02:51] <ubotu> stunnel: Universal SSL tunnel for network daemons. In component universe, is optional. Version 2:3.26-11ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 84 kB, installed size 352 kB
[02:51] <atlantia> can anyone tell me how to install restricted modules WITHOUT installing nvidia-kernel-common via aptitude or apt-get
[02:51] <who_cares> dfwlinuxguy: I tried
[02:51] <who_cares> it said those weren't process ID's
[02:51] <dfwlinuxguy> soulpropagatio1 what are you getting now?
[02:51] <jrib> toulouse: how about  'killall overkill' in another terminal?
[02:51] <`Jessie> royel: you're welcome to help
[02:51] <atlantia> (sorry for caps, but i stress the without because for some sad reason one=the other, but I need the rstricted for my intel abg wireless card...
[02:51] <BenPA> oh gosh ... thank you all that is what I needed ...
[02:51] <SoulPropagatio1> dfwlinuxguy: exact same results, just dies after a few minutes
[02:51] <toulouse> jrib: ok, i'll try that
[02:51] <`Jessie> transgress_: yes
[02:52] <dfwlinuxguy> who_cares ps auxwww | grep ejabberd  ...results?
[02:52] <royel> `Jessie: be glad to, give me make a model of monitor
[02:52] <who_cares> dfwlinuxguy: root     22291  0.0  0.0   3900   800 pts/0    R+   20:53   0:00 grep ejabberd
[02:52] <dfwlinuxguy> who_cares or just reboot then try to restart the program
[02:52] <SoulPropagatio1> atlantia: caps are ok, just not messages all in caps
[02:52] <`Jessie> royel: it's the screen in an HP Pavilion dv6245us Notebook
[02:52] <b0r15> ok, I'll use vsftpd then. How do I remove proftpd?
[02:52] <dfwlinuxguy> who_cares if that is the only result then you should be able to try to start it again
[02:52] <toulouse> jrib: that didnt seem to fix the problem. the game is "overkill" and it's in the repo's if you could try it out
[02:53] <transgress_> `Jessie: i'm going to PM you some syncs to try if you are hardcore against googling it
[02:53] <adam_> Has anyone here ever used Stunnel?  Am I correct in thinking I'll be able to remotely control a terminal session?
[02:53] <ubuntu> hey
[02:53] <ubuntu> HELP
[02:53] <atlantia> SoulPropagatio1, heh yeah. thanks. anychance you know how to tell apt-get install package a (restricted modules) but do not install the nvidia-kernel-common stuff?
[02:53] <toulouse> jrib: it's probly somethign simple
[02:53] <dfwlinuxguy> soulpropagatio1 fdisk -l  ...results?
[02:53] <ubuntu> i want to make triple boot
[02:53] <royel> matty_v: you should be able to add additional mail accounts in Evo.. use Edit > Preferences > then Mail Accounts options
[02:53] <ubuntu> i have installed WIndows XP,UBuntu and KNoppix
[02:53] <royel> `Jessie: k, let me see what google says
[02:53] <ubuntu> but KNoppix don't want to run.
[02:53] <atlantia> SoulPropagatio1, or otherwise, why one=the other dep wise, as I only need the modules for other hardware, i want to use nvidia's drivers for the graphics card
[02:54] <dfwlinuxguy> atlantia /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist  ..put any module you don't want loaded in there
[02:54] <jrib> toulouse: i ran it but can't replicate
[02:54] <SoulPropagatio1> dfwlinuxguy: nothing
[02:54] <who_cares> dfwlinuxguy: it started up
[02:54] <b0r15> how do I uninstall a program?
[02:54] <who_cares> thank you so much
[02:54] <atlantia> dfwlinuxguy, thanks
[02:55] <dfwlinuxguy> who_cares ...cool!
[02:55] <jrib> b0r15: use synaptic
[02:55] <dfwlinuxguy> soulpropagatio1 you must be root to run that or sudo fdisk -l
[02:55] <SoulPropagatio1> k
[02:55] <Hasrat_USA> damn youtube.com contains exactly 1,300 videos on ubuntu
[02:56] <atlantia> dfwlinuxguy, so nvidia-kernel-common is one module and not a group or does that just tell modprobe anything from that package
[02:56] <toulouse> jrib: i just went to Terminal 1, typed overkill, then typed "q" to quit it, then it just sits there with no prompt
[02:56] <dfwlinuxguy> atlantia you have to specify the modules specifically
[02:56] <b0r15> ok, but I see several proftpd packages. Which should I remove and howto stop the service?
[02:56] <jrib> toulouse: does  ps -ef | grep overkill  still show the game running?
[02:57] <atlantia> dfwlinuxguy, errm.. is there a way to only download packages with apt and then manually install them or blacklist a package in Apt?
[02:57] <hajiki> hey guys my Swap keeps failing on fsck at boot time... what do i do??

[03:01] <wes_1977> does anyone know what I can pass to svn add to add all files in all subdirectories to the repo?

[03:04] <atlantia> dfwlinuxguy, but i want nvidia to load, just not the one from the ubuntu repos.. rar i know apt is trying to protect me.. but this is sad
[03:04] <smoenux> !pastebin
[03:04] <transgress_> burrito: it has issues with lame servers?
[03:04] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[03:04] <SoulPropagatio1> dfwlinuxguy: nope, any more ideas on my problem?
[03:04] <atlantia> The following NEW packages will be installed:
[03:04] <atlantia>   linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-11-generic nvidia-kernel-common
[03:04] <toulouse> hey guys, how to i UNinstall something with wine?
[03:04] <jrib> isn't ooo on the cd's?
[03:04] <burrito> ? lame servers?
[03:04] <atlantia> but all i ask for is the restricted modules...
[03:04] <dalani> tried alien doesnt doit
[03:04] <royel> `Jessie: well, unfortunately.. laptop information is not as readily available as monitors sold seperately (desktops), I did find the manufacturer an you could email them for the specs, but it would almost be easier to just rougly guess what the display is capable of.. http://www.brightviewtechnologies.com/
[03:04] <transgress_> toulouse: find the uninstall program in the program files
[03:05] <arrenlex> atlantia: The restricted modules include the nvidia driver because that's how the package was made. You can't separate them because they depend on each other.
[03:05] <toulouse> how do i get to program files tho? in just nautilus?
[03:05] <dfwlinuxguy> atlantia then just don't install nvidia-glx
[03:05] <transgress_> royel: her options are right.  her monitor is the same as mine
[03:05] <SoulPropagatio1> toulouse: ~/.wine/drive_c
[03:05] <toulouse> oh
[03:05] <b0r15> I marked 2 packages for removal in synaptec. How do I actually remove them??
[03:05] <jrib> b0r15: press "apply"
[03:06] <dfwlinuxguy> atlantia or apt-get remove --purge nvidia-glx if you already have it installed
[03:06] <VeganCheesesteak> hi does anyone here use ISPConfig?
[03:06] <atlantia> dfwlinuxguy, arrenlex understand the dependency relation (why is beyond me) but understand dfwlinuxguy i am following instructions that state "remove nvidia-kernel-common" and this contradicts it
[03:06] <royel> transgress_: I wasn't aware you had settings.. she asked if I wanted to help when I suggested googling for them.. I been looking for the specs this whole time.. sounds like you guys got it under control though :)
[03:06] <transgress_> royel: heh sorry.  i didn't notice her ask you or i would've told you.  :)
[03:07] <royel> transgress_: is ok, I had nothing else to do :)
[03:07] <quaal> why do i have a "Floppy 1" and a "Floppy Drive" in Computer file browser
[03:08] <atlantia> going to try the install without removing the kernel common stuff, we'll see.. bbias
[03:08] <`Jessie> transgress_: I said for it to use 128M and I still only have 1024x768 in gnome
[03:08] <dfwlinuxguy> soulpropagatio1 I'm so sorry..i thought I was talking to you about grub not loading
[03:08] <quaal> and when i open "floppy 1" it says unable to mount the selected floppy drive
[03:08] <dfwlinuxguy> soulpropagatio1 so you loaded the .sys and .inf from your install disks?
[03:09] <toulouse> guys, i didnt find an uninstaller for google sketchUp in my program files, can i just delete all the files in there? will that get rid of it (wine cant run google sketchup)
[03:09] <SoulPropagatio1> dfwlinuxguy: yeah
[03:09] <arrenlex> toulouse: wine uninstaller
[03:09] <toulouse> arrenlex: sorry, but how do i invoke wine uninstaller
[03:10] <`Jessie> transgress_: I found something that may work
[03:10] <`Jessie>  testing
[03:10] <arrenlex> toulouse: run that command. Anywhere.
[03:10] <itguru> jrib, I tried the checkinstall thing, of installing over the top of a previous install, but it failed. How can i manually remove software installed via make install?
[03:10] <SoulPropagatio1> itguru: make uninstall
[03:10] <dalani> toulouse try equinox3d if sketchup dont run
[03:10] <jrib> itguru: rm
[03:10] <toulouse> cool i will
[03:11] <dfwlinuxguy> soulpropagatio1 you have an acer laptop?
[03:11] <arrenlex> itguru: "failed"?
[03:11] <SoulPropagatio1> dfwlinuxguy: nope, pcmcia card
[03:11] <itguru> SoulPropagatio1, there was no make uninstall included
[03:11] <dalani> equnx does bezier curves nice
[03:11] <SoulPropagatio1> itguru: cd /path/to/src THEN sudo make uninstall
[03:11] <transgress_> `Jessie: what's that?
[03:12] <`Jessie> transgress_: YES IT WORKS
[03:12] <dfwlinuxguy> soulpropagatio1 are you using the ndiswrapper from the repositories?
[03:12] <transgress_> `Jessie: what was it?
[03:12] <SoulPropagatio1> dfwlinuxguy: yeah
[03:12] <yomedia> Hi all. Does anybody know if Ubuntu plans on including XGL/Compiz effects in  Feisty Fawn? And what are you guy's opinion's on XGL effects? Thanks.
[03:12] <SoulPropagatio1> thing is, the wireless was just fine yesterday, and earlier today at a different AP
[03:12] <`Jessie> transgress_: Make sure 'universe' repository is enabled, and run 'apt-get update && apt-get install 915resolution' to get the correct 1280x800 resolution on your display panel.
[03:12] <itguru> SoulPropagatio1, I tried that - but i'll try again, just in case
[03:12] <royel> yomedia: it was scratched for Feisty
[03:12] <foormea> !torrent
[03:12] <ubotu> Torrent clients: Azureus (Java), BitTornado (Shell with python front-end), KTorrent (KDE/Qt)  -  Bittorent FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html
[03:12] <jrib> yomedia: not enabled by default
[03:12] <ikonone> ok I just did a fresh install and there is a kernel update. I have yet to install it because last time i did gdm would not start because it did not have "root" permissions...  Well I had tried "sudo chown root:gdm /var/lib/gdm" to set proper permisions but it didnt work.
[03:13] <jimcooncat> who has the best supported scanners? need a good one, 10 ppm or better with adf
[03:13] <ikonone> did i do something wrong/
[03:13] <Crema10> is it possible to make an old computer into a NAS using Ubuntu? if yes, what kind of software can i use?
[03:13] <jrib> ikonone: what version of ubuntu?
[03:13] <yomedia> OK. It;s not that bad to get manually anyway.
[03:13] <ikonone> edgy
[03:13] <ikonone> 6.10
[03:13] <transgress_> `Jessie: well i'm okay as i have mine working properly but glad you got it kicking
[03:14] <royel> Crema10: it is, an I would use the server version of 6.06 personally, there is also some other options such as Freenas..
[03:14] <Crema10> Freenas? is that an operating system or jsut an app?
[03:14] <Crema10> let me look that up, sounds interesting
[03:14] <Frogzoo> Crema10: or just samba/nfs
[03:15] <royel> Crema10: its a OS, freebsd based
[03:15] <Crema10> ahh
[03:15] <Crema10> ok
[03:15] <Crema10> Frogzoo: samba/nfs?
[03:15] <nytejade> Does anyone know why the latest auto-update from ubuntu causes my Ubuntu to stop booting
[03:15] <nytejade> I'm running a macbook
[03:15] <royel> Crema10: IMO, it's pretty crude, but it does work an is very simple to setup
[03:15] <dfwlinuxguy> soulpropagatio1 you sound like you've done your homework and know what you are doing setting it up. I can tell you I had a gateway laptop I was trying to use ndiswrappers with about a year ago. I had the exact same types of problems with that card. It would start up then die
[03:16] <yomedia> nytejade: What version of Ubuntu were you running
[03:16] <nytejade> 6.10
[03:16] <Crema10> royel: yeah, nothing crazy.. just a home network in need of a NAS due to my insane amount of data accumulated
[03:16] <dfwlinuxguy> soulpropagatio1 it wasn't until they came out with the open source broadcom drivers that I was able to get it to work
[03:16] <yomedia> Ok, hold on.
[03:16] <nytejade> It ran fine for months, then I did the auto update and it was shitted.
[03:16] <nytejade> I tried installing 6.14, or whatever the Feisty one is, and I got some weird Lilo error
[03:16] <yomedia> Is it booting up?
[03:16] <nytejade> Not at all
[03:16] <nytejade> i'm reinstalling 6.10
[03:16] <Frogzoo> !samba | Crema10
[03:16] <ubotu> Crema10: 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
[03:17] <nytejade> but i need to know what i should do when this happens again
[03:17] <Frogzoo> !nfs | Crema10
[03:17] <ubotu> Crema10: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[03:17] <itguru> SoulPropagatio1, I get the error No rule to make target 'uninstall' . Stop
[03:17] <royel> Crema10: if you want something that can be built on, then I'd go with a version of Linux an setup apache/nfs.. perhaps swat for admin.. but Freenas is something you can setup in about 5-10 minutes
[03:17] <VeganCheesesteak> how do you find your ip in linux?
[03:17] <Crema10> cool cool.. thanks for the info Frogzoo and royel
[03:17] <atlantia> hmm that failed horribly
[03:17] <dfwlinuxguy> soulpropagatio1 I know that doesn't help, but you sound like you know what you are doing so I'm thinking it is a flakey driver for that card
[03:18] <SoulPropagatio1> dfwlinuxguy: Well my concern is that it was working fine yesterday and earlier today, then it just borked when I got home
[03:18] <SoulPropagatio1> itguru: errm well then no idea.
[03:18] <yomedia> nytejade: Unfortunately, these things sometimes happen with beta software. I guess, go through the updates when you get it installed, and see if anything might look like it has something to do with what happens.
[03:18] <nytejade> Well
[03:18] <arrenlex> itguru: What happens if you try running checkinstall?
[03:18] <nytejade> When I update I can no longer boot in
[03:18] <dfwlinuxguy> soulpropagatio1 for how long was it working?
[03:18] <nytejade> I need to know how to repair that
[03:18] <iStirk> Hi - I'm having some problems with Ubuntu Edgy Eft.. You see, the live CD gave me an error that it could "not display in this video mode", so, I downloaded the alternative cd and installed Ubuntu from there.

[03:18] <nytejade> So I don't have to keep resinstalling : (
[03:18] <nytejade> I'm using Edgy
[03:18] <nytejade> And the same thing happens when I auto-update
[03:18] <Momomo> Is it possible to initiate a network install as a LiveCD user? (Given an open wifi connection)
[03:19] <atlantia> got an error that says my nvidia driver and kernel module have a mismatched version.. stupid that I cleanly saw that coming and still had to get smacked by it
[03:19] <itguru> arrenlex, it won't install
[03:19] <arrenlex> itguru: What error?
[03:19] <dfwlinuxguy> soulpropagatio1 could it be that your neighbor set up a wireless router and it is competing with your signal? Have you tried moving the computer to a different location?
[03:19] <yomedia> Oh, edgy? Hmm, sounds like an error with updates being pushed to both. Anybody else here got any ideas?
[03:19] <itguru> The software I built from source where kernel modules, where are they located?
[03:19] <itguru> arrenlex, A shared file of some sort
[03:20] <atlantia> is there an ubuntu channel for issues outside of the scope of this one?
[03:20] <dfwlinuxguy> itguru modules are in /lib/modules
[03:20] <Momomo> Is it possible to initiate a network install as a LiveCD user, given an open Wifi connection and a unrealiable CD-ROM?
[03:20] <iStirk> Hi - I'm having some problems with Ubuntu Edgy Eft.. You see, the live CD gave me an error that it could "not display in this video mode", so, I downloaded the alternative cd and installed Ubuntu from there.

Note: Everything was fine with Ubuntu Dapper (I had to install it in safe graphics mode, but it was f
[03:20] <nytejade> Do you think my error could be because of a new kernel?
[03:20] <nytejade> How do I install a different kernel?
[03:21] <SoulPropagatio1> dfwlinuxguy: I installed ubuntu yesterday (I've played with and used it before for about a year) and once I got the drivers set up for my card (which I got from eBay the same day) and I've used wifi in assorted places in my house for a long time and it's fine. There are no competing signals and even where there are there's no interference.
[03:21] <Momomo> iStirk: Install Dapper and just upgrade the system from there?
[03:21] <SoulPropagatio1> dfwlinuxguy: I have a crazy idea, hold up
[03:21] <transgress_> iStirk: try getting the nvidia drivers and using those
[03:21] <iStirk> how would I use them
[03:21] <iStirk> I mean
[03:22] <iStirk> Install them when I cant boot up into ubuntu
[03:22] <javiolo> hi
[03:22] <SoulPropagatio1> dfwlinuxguy: Worse comes to works I could always make a shell script to run a ping every few seconds, and if it doesn't hear from the router it just ifdown;ifup's
[03:23] <SoulPropagatio1> s/works/worse (why did I type that? lol)
[03:23] <Momomo> iStirk: Ubuntu has removed a number of drivers for nvidia cards. If Dapper works, consider using that and if trying to install, use that version as a base for your system
[03:23] <javiolo> rtorrent supports encryption ? if so how do I activate it ?
[03:23] <transgress_> iStirk: oh you can't boot up at all?
[03:23] <dfwlinuxguy> soulpropagatio1 I had to do that for a server once
[03:23] <atlantia> Momomo, you seem wise.. can you help me for a sec?
[03:23] <iStirk> Well, I can boot up in the recovery mode
[03:23] <dfwlinuxguy> soulpropagatio1 the problem was very intermittient
[03:23] <Momomo> atlantia: With kernel modules?
[03:23] <transgress_> javiolo: this isn't an rtorrent channel... you might should check the rtorrent documentation or website
[03:24] <yomedia> iStirk: Graphical problem
[03:24] <SoulPropagatio1> dfwlinuxguy: maybe it's my router. I don't think so, though. my wired desktop is running just fine and has been for ... a long time lol
[03:24] <dfwlinuxguy> soulpropagatio1 so you used this card for a long time with no problems?
[03:24] <iStirk> Momomo: Does the install CD provide an option for upgrade? I didnt see one
[03:24] <javiolo> transgress_ yes, I searched on the rtorrent docs also in rtorrent channel...
[03:24] <who_cares> hey dfwlinuxguy
[03:24] <who_cares> lol
[03:24] <SoulPropagatio1> dfwlinuxguy: about a day, it's new
[03:24] <dfwlinuxguy> who_cares HI
[03:24] <who_cares> how do I kill a process
[03:24] <javiolo> who_cares sudo kill -9 PID
[03:25] <Momomo> iStirk: Just install Dapper onto the system (since it works with your video card), then upgrade the system from there using AptGet or the process described in the forums (to upgrade to Edgy)
[03:25] <atlantia> Momomo, yeah see i need linux-restricted-modules package installed, but apt-get aptitude w/e is trying to install nvidia-kernel-cmmon, which conflicts with my binary based kernel module
[03:25] <dfwlinuxguy> soulpropagatio1 I still think it's flaky driver support. My broadcom card did the very same thing under ndiswrappers
[03:25] <jrib> who_cares: system > administration > system monitor.  If you do want to use the terminal, don't use -9 unless you need to
[03:25] <orangefly> i have read a lot of forums but i still can't get my wireless card to work....can anyone help....???....
[03:25] <who_cares> I don't have a GUI
[03:25] <itguru> dfwlinuxguy, Thanks for the tip - i guess it's time to fire up the rm command!
[03:25] <iStirk> Momomo: Alright, I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the advice
[03:25] <who_cares> I ran ps auxwww | grep ejabberd
[03:26] <chiefbearclaw> simply the best way to install nvidia or ati drivers -- > http://albertomilone.com/index.html
[03:26] <javiolo> jrib with -9 you force it right ?
[03:26] <chiefbearclaw> imo

[03:26] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[03:26] <atlantia> chiefbearclaw, yeah seen his site...
[03:26] <who_cares> I just tried it with -9
[03:26] <Momomo> atlantia: Is the package name "linux-restricted-modules" ?
[03:26] <atlantia> chiefbearclaw, no site address the issue i have
[03:26] <atlantia> AFAIK
[03:26] <atlantia> Momomo, yes
[03:26] <who_cares> it still has this running: "ejabberd  4655  0.0  0.1  10272  1536 ?        Ss   21:25   0:00 /usr/lib/erlang/lib/ssl-3.0.12/priv/bin/ssl_esock"
[03:26] <chiefbearclaw> ah
[03:26] <SoulPropagatio1> dfwlinuxguy: I'm thinking you're right. It just seems so odd that it would work just fine and then for no apparent reason stop
[03:27] <Momomo> Is it possible to initiate a network install as a LiveCD user, given an open Wifi connection and a unrealiable CD-ROM?
[03:27] <atlantia> Momomo, the resticted modules supports my Intel ABG wireless card
[03:27] <dfwlinuxguy> soulpropagatio1 It's frustrating!
[03:27] <matt____> i need help with sharing an external usb drive from ubuntu to xbox
[03:27] <atlantia> Momomo, but i dont want to use the ubuntu based nvidia stuff
[03:27] <apocalypse> is there a way to optimize watching video through the network from a lan computer?
[03:28] <dfwlinuxguy> soulpropagatio1 I had a stupid ethernet cable strung across the house until they released the OS drivers
[03:28] <Momomo> atlantia: Because it conflicts with the nivdia module?
[03:28] <atlantia> Momomo, yes, the nvidia-kernel-common package conflicts, but auto installs along with restricted
[03:28] <orangefly> can anyone help install a broadcom wireless card....???....
[03:28] <matt____> i need help with sharing an external usb drive from ubuntu to xbox, can someone point me to an appropriate channel?
[03:28] <dfwlinuxguy> soulpropagatio1 even now I still have to restart the network occasionally just not as much
[03:29] <SoulPropagatio1> dfwlinuxguy: I'd do that but I use my laptop at school too (mostly just to screw off when I'm bored ... ;)) so I'm stuck with getting the wireless to work
[03:29] <Momomo> atlantia: Is it a required package of the restricted modules? Try manually unchecking the package?
[03:30] <who_cares> okay, so when I kill the ejabberd process it restarts with a new PID
[03:30] <timetrap> I have a problem with gdebi and the add/remove programs menu item
[03:30] <who_cares> how do I stop it from restarting?
[03:30] <atlantia> Momomo, using cli, i can try the package manager gui
[03:30] <timetrap> can anyone help?
[03:31] <timetrap> I think my /usr/local/lib/python2.4/sitepackges is empty
[03:31] <Momomo> atlantia: Please do. If the nvidia driver isn't part of the package itself (just depends on it), the regular GUI should allow you to deny it.
[03:31] <SoulPropagatio1> dfwlinuxguy: brb, rebooting the router. Let's just hope that's it ^o^
[03:31] <matt____> i need help with sharing an external usb drive from ubuntu to xbox, can someone point me to an appropriate channel?
[03:31] <Momomo> Is it possible to initiate a network install as a LiveCD user, given an open Wifi connection and a unrealiable CD-ROM?
[03:32] <matsavhalev> matt___: i think you need info on samba check the wiki
[03:32] <matsavhalev> Momomo: dont think so unless you customise the live iso....
[03:32] <atlantia> !!!!
[03:32] <matt____> i;ve exhausted my web searching on the topic....
[03:32] <atlantia> Dangit
[03:32] <Momomo> Eh..
[03:32] <atlantia> Momomo, even the gui says its getting removed, this is rediculous
[03:33] <timetrap> I have a problem with gdebi and the add/remove programs menu item, they will not work . . . I cannot install .debs
[03:33] <Momomo> atlantia: Sounds like its the package itself. I can't help with that
[03:33] <matt____> i can use samba to share things in my home folder, but not external hds
[03:33] <daifu> Good evening all. Any way to increase font size?
[03:33] <adam_> Has anyone got Ubuntu dual-booting on a macbook?
[03:33] <timetrap> no it is not the package, I think the library is broken
[03:34] <SoulPropagation> I'm back
[03:34] <timetrap> I cannot click on add/remove programs
[03:34] <timetrap> it starts then errors out
[03:34] <matt____> matsavhalev: do you know about a problem like this?
[03:34] <Momomo> timetrap: Either way, thats a problem of the repository
[03:34] <timetrap> but synaptic works
[03:34] <daifu> I think I got it.
[03:34] <timetrap> okay
[03:34] <timetrap> so what should I do?
[03:35] <SoulPropagation> dfwlinuxguy: is it a coincidence that two of my ping tests got up to {343, 341} pings?
[03:35] <daifu> how is Knoppix similar/better than Ubuntu?
[03:35] <dfwlinuxguy> soulpropagation that is not good
[03:35] <daifu> I am testing Knoppix right now.
[03:35] <matsavhalev> daifu: knoppix is more useful to use live, ubuntu works better as an actual desktop
[03:35] <dfwlinuxguy> soulpropagation you might try the belkin pcmcia wireless adapters. they release their drivers open source
[03:35] <matsavhalev> daifu: ubuntu repositories are more stable for upgrades from my experience than knoppix
[03:35] <dfwlinuxguy> soulpropagation http://www.walmart.com/search/search-ng.do?search_constraint=3944&search_query=belkin+wireless&Continue.x=0&Continue.y=0&Continue=Find&ic=24_0

[03:36] <matsavhalev> daifu: np
[03:36] <dfwlinuxguy> soulpropagation I use a belkin pci card and it works GREAT
[03:36] <daifu> by actual desktop, you mean after having installed ubuntu?
[03:36] <who_cares> dfwlinuxguy: since I managed to break it again I ran "ps auxwww | grep ejabberd"
[03:36] <`Jessie> sme again :)
[03:36] <SoulPropagation> dfwlinuxguy: I have an orinoco card, it's just crappy
[03:36] <`Jessie> I can't seem to get my wireless network to connect
[03:36] <`Jessie> I installed network-manager-gnome
[03:36] <kkkg> &list
[03:36] <timetrap> momomo: what is the problem with the repository?
[03:36] <dfwlinuxguy> soulpropagation the belkin ones are only around $35 and I like supporting vendors that release their firmare
[03:37] <matt____> matsavhalev: do you know why i'm able to (samba) share my home folder, but not external drives?
[03:37] <who_cares> dfwlinuxguy: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7134/
[03:37] <dfwlinuxguy> who_cares ok..did you kill the running processes?
[03:37] <daifu> is there a better program than xchat?
[03:37] <who_cares> I tried
[03:37] <who_cares> they restart
[03:37] <matsavhalev> matt___: running kde at the moment so i cant check
[03:37] <SoulPropagation> dfwlinuxguy: apparently a lot of people think like you because my vendor is belly-up ... that's how I got mine for like ... $15 w/s&h

[03:38] <daifu> or how do I download while in knoppix?
[03:38] <matt1234> is the xgl channel on this server?
[03:38] <timetrap> I will ask again . . . Does anyone know why gdebi or add/remove programs does not work, and how should I try to fix it?
[03:38] <dfwlinuxguy> soulpropagation it is worth not wasting my time and just get one that works
[03:38] <livingtm> is it possible to not start gnome-panel after logging into gdm?
[03:38] <Taime1> reinstall using gdebi?
[03:38] <Taime1> im kidding
[03:38] <matsavhalev> timetrap: u tried on the command line?

[03:41] <SoulPropagation> So, my next problem is whenever I close my lid, gdm restarts
[03:41] <moquist> running Edgy on a brand-new MacBook -- sound out of both internal speakers & headphones at the same time, which I definitely don't want. Any advice?
[03:41] <atlantia> chiefbearclaw, i owe you a measure of thanks
[03:41] <dfwlinuxguy> who_cares  kill 4125 <return> kill 4519 <return>
[03:42] <dfwlinuxguy> who_cares this is getting crazy

[03:42] <daifu> matsahalev... how do I get kvirc through Knoppix?
[03:43] <Dakota> I have the Conexant HD Audio on my laptop and in 6.10 unstable, a while ago, even with the new ALSA drivers my sound was messed up.
[03:43] <dfwlinuxguy> who_cares how is it getting like that?
[03:43] <who_cares> no idea
[03:43] <akao> hey anyone around here who is knowledgable about getting ati cards up and working?
[03:43] <who_cares> when I start it it starts once
[03:43] <Dakota> I could hear sound from my speakers on my laptop but I plugged in headphones and the computer acted as if they weren't even there.
[03:44] <dfwlinuxguy> who_cares then what?
[03:44] <Frogzoo_> !ati | akao
[03:44] <ubotu> akao: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:44] <who_cares> I try to restart it when I change the config file
[03:44] <dfwlinuxguy> who_cares I see
[03:44] <who_cares> I guess it never fully kills the old one
[03:44] <arrenlex> !ask | akao
[03:44] <ubotu> akao: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:44] <who_cares> cause it will never restart
[03:44] <dfwlinuxguy> who_cares did you install it from synaptic?
[03:44] <who_cares> I used apt-get
[03:44] <dfwlinuxguy> who_cares can you run /etc/init.d/ejabberd stop
[03:44] <dfwlinuxguy> who_cares can you run /etc/init.d/ejabberd start
[03:45] <Dakota> Can anyone help with Conexant 5097 HD Audio on an HP Laptop?
[03:45] <who_cares> I can run them
[03:45] <a5benwillis> I downloaded the source for OpenSSH and ran ./configure. Now there is no make. How do I install?
[03:45] <dfwlinuxguy> who_cares can you run /etc/init.d/ejabberd restart
[03:45] <Steve_C> hi everyone
[03:45] <who_cares> that's what kills it
[03:45] <akao> thanks ubotu bot, without you people would have to talk directly to others.
[03:45] <kev_b> is there an viewport equivalent to 'show windows from current workspace' in the task bar?
[03:46] <who_cares> I can run /etc/init.d/ejabberd start, but that only starts it once
[03:46] <who_cares> if I try to restart it it crashes
[03:46] <dfwlinuxguy> who_cares if you can run /etc/init.d/ejabberd stop then /etc/init.d/ejabberd start when you change the config and you won't have to go through all that kill stuff
[03:46] <who_cares> okay
[03:46] <who_cares> I'll try that next time
[03:46] <Dakota> Please, can someone help with Conexant HD Audio?
[03:46] <a5benwillis> jrib: Are you still here?
[03:47] <atlantia> hey one last question gang
[03:47] <moquist> Dakota: I'm having my own troubles with audio on a new MacBook. No idea about Conexant, though. Sorry.
[03:47] <atlantia> what are the chances my kernel is not right, i.e. not smp and how do i check?
[03:47] <arrenlex> atlantia: What does "uname -r" say?
[03:47] <atlantia> i have an intel duo core laptop, shouldn't it use the smp kernel?
[03:47] <adam_> moquist: Aside from that, how's the macbook thing workin' out for you?  I just got one, and am hoping to dual-boot...
[03:47] <arrenlex> !attitude | akao
[03:47] <ubotu> akao: The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[03:47] <dfwlinuxguy> smp has moved to the generic kernel
[03:47] <atlantia> arrenlex, 2.6.17-11-generic
[03:48] <arrenlex> atlantia: You have smp.
[03:48] <Dakota> So noone can help with ICH7 Conexant HD Audio, headphones not working?
[03:48] <atlantia> arrenlex, ahh ok, did a cat /rpoc/cpuinfo and only got a return on 1 cpu, wasnt sure if a core duo was supposed to be two
[03:48] <dfwlinuxguy> type top then press 1 and you should see both CPU's
[03:48] <arrenlex> atlantia: Yep, a core duo is two.
[03:49] <moquist> adam_: Feisty was quite a bit better than Edgy (pommed in main, for example), but VMWare-Server wouldn't build under the 2.6.20-8 Feisty kernel. :(
[03:49] <Steve_C> I'm new to Linux and Ubuntu. I tried installing PCLinux on my system and it keeps locking up so I decided to try ubuntu. One version of a livecd works fairly well but the latest one I tried my keyboard and mouse wouldn't work. Is there anyone who could help me figure out what wrong?
[03:49] <atlantia> arrenlex, also grepping messages for smp comes back with nothing
[03:49] <who_cares> dfwlinuxguy: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7137/
[03:49] <dfwlinuxguy> cat /proc/cpuinfo should show both CPU's
[03:49] <atlantia> arrenlex, gonna feel like christmas if i have been running my laptop at half staff for the last 1/2 year
[03:49] <moquist> adam_: madwifi doesn't do it in either Edgy or Feisty; I had to use ndiswrapper to get w/l working.
[03:49] <b0r15> I installed vsftpd and need to configure it. I could not find the vsftpd folder in /etc. Where are the config and program files?
[03:50] <pramz> b0r15: should be /etc/vsftpd.conf
[03:50] <atlantia> arrenlex, well system monitor says "CPU1/ CPU2".. so maybe no xmas here now
[03:50] <Hasrat_USA> Steve_C, hi
[03:50] <Dakota> Please, Someone help me with Headphone problem with Conexant HD Audio
[03:50] <Hasrat_USA> Steve_C, you're on an AMD, right?
[03:50] <Steve_C> Hi, Hasrat
[03:50] <dfwlinuxguy> who_cares is there a /etc/init.d/epmd
[03:50] <SpudDogg> !mp3 > SpudDogg
[03:50] <sivik> ok, i installed xserver-xorg and kdm and everything i run sudo kdm, i get a weird symbol when i go over to the F7 tty that should be the gui
[03:51] <adam_> moquist: Ahh, that sucks... I'd probably go with Dapper... I wonder how that would work out...  I'm afraid to even try gettin' wireless set up though, considering how often people have problems with it... =O
[03:51] <Steve_C> Harat, no it's intel (HP media center pc)
[03:51] <atlantia> arrenlex, well heck, actually cat /proc/cpuinfo says two now.. has coolness.. i got a cpu back :D
[03:51] <who_cares> dfwlinuxguy: nope
[03:51] <atlantia> has=heh *
[03:51] <moquist> adam_: the w/l has been fine and very stable, once I bowed to the fates and used ndiswrapper. *shrug*
[03:51] <Hasrat_USA> were you able to boot with the latest live CD? speaking of latest version, which one is it?
[03:51] <Pudding> hey, how can I get mp3-files to play in amarok?
[03:52] <moquist> adam_: Oh, and suspending just failed to bring up the backlight, which I half expected.
[03:52] <Hasrat_USA> describe exactly which iso you downloaded. and your keyboard and mouse are all USB, right?
[03:52] <Steve_C> Hasrat, I think it was 6.10 or something
[03:52] <Hasrat_USA> ok
[03:52] <calloc`> Hello folks
[03:53] <adam_> hmm... alright, duly noted.  Thank you!  Ooh, ouch about the backlight...  Did you have any problems installing?  Did you have to reset your MBR or anything?
[03:53] <Steve_C> keyboard and mouse was ps/2 . I had swapped out my wireless kbd and mouse to try and get pclinux to work
[03:53] <calloc`> I'm trying to install kubuntu edgy 64 bit onto my pentium D, but seems to be freezing at a light blue X server screen
[03:53] <calloc`> anyone have any run ins with that?
[03:53] <Hasrat_USA> calloc`, 64 bit got some issues
[03:53] <moquist> adam_: No. I actually did boot OSX and install BootCamp because I thought I might have to...but then I read that I didn't, and decided just to blow it all away.
[03:54] <cafuego_> calloc`: See if someone on #kubuntu knows
[03:54] <Steve_C> Hasrat, if it's important I can try and find the iso I downloaded
[03:54] <b0r15> where do I configure basic settings for vsftpd, such as home directory, user accounts, etc.?
[03:54] <Hasrat_USA> Steve_C, were you able at all to boot the PC using the 6.10 live CD?
[03:54] <cafuego_> b0r15: it uses /etc/passwod
[03:54] <moquist> adam_: The Edgy server install disc didn't work, b/c the keyboard isn't available at the CD menu and the server disc doesn't time out and start the installation... :-p
[03:54] <HymnToLife> b0r15, ftp accounds are system accounts
[03:54] <cafuego_> um, /etc/passwd even
[03:54] <calloc`> kk
[03:54] <moquist> adam_: The Edgy desktop install was fine.
[03:54] <HymnToLife> you add them and manage them the same way as any other
[03:54] <Hasrat_USA> yes, let's find out that ISO and post the link in the room for all to see
[03:54] <cafuego_> b0r15: If they're supposed to be ftp-only, you set the shell to /bin/false
[03:54] <HymnToLife> FTP is just another way to login on the system
[03:54] <yomm> How do I allow xdmcp acces on my ubuntu box ?
[03:55] <Pudding> can anyone tell me how to add mp3 support to amarok?
[03:55] <b0r15> how about directories?
[03:55] <transgress_> anyone know why ndiswrapper won't modprobe?
[03:55] <HymnToLife> ubotu, tell Pudding about mp3 | Pudding, see the private message from ubotu.
[03:55] <transgress_> it gives me an error saying invalid argument
[03:55] <Pudding> I'm using ubuntu 6.10
[03:55] <cafuego_> b0r15: home directories are created by the adduser script
[03:55] <moquist> yomm: edit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf and find the [XDMCP]  section and change "Enable=false" to "Enable=true"
[03:55] <b0r15> how do I do that?
[03:55] <Steve_C> Hasrat, yes it booted ok and the kbd actually worked for a brief time (long enough for me to select livecd) but then it didn't respond. When I plugged in a usb mouse that worked but.
[03:55] <adam_> moquist: Cool, thank you...
[03:55] <HymnToLife> b0r15, typically, (sudo) useradd -m username
[03:56] <HymnToLife> adds the user and will create /home/username
[03:56] <moquist> adam_: And I finally got right/middle clicking working by using xsetkb.
[03:56] <cafuego_> HymnToLife: just 'sudo adduser <user>'
[03:56] <moquist> adam_: mouseemu under Edgy just disables the trackpad until you stop the service again.
[03:56] <cafuego_> HymnToLife: will prompt as required.
[03:56] <Steve_C> Hasrat, ok give me a minute to see if I can find it using ubuntu (remember I'm new to all this)
[03:56] <Hasrat_USA> okay
[03:56] <transgress_> do i need to rmmod bcm43xx before i can modprobe ndiswrapper or should that have no effect?
[03:56] <b0r15> But I already have my username, can I log in with that, and where will the home directory be?
[03:57] <GMWeezel> What file could I use to figure out the day distro was installed?
[03:57] <erik1397> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=367946
[03:57] <tafadzwa> hey could someone visti www.daclan.info and let me know what they see i think i finally have vhosts working :)
[03:57] <b0r15> and also do I need to allow port 21 or will it automatically open?
[03:57] <sivik> how do i fix the error, sudo, timestamp too far in the future
[03:58] <akao> tafa - couldn't connect
[03:58] <tafadzwa> damn
[03:59] <tafadzwa> what about www.tafadzwa.info?
[03:59] <akao> same
[03:59] <akao> could not connect
[03:59] <tafadzwa> block port 80 :(
[04:00] <adam_> moquist: Excellent, thanks again!
[04:00] <Timw> hey guys
[04:00] <Timw> does anyone know how to Perhaps you should add the directory containing `x11.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
[04:00] <sivik_> did y'all answer the question for sivik
[04:00] <DarkReflections> Sup,
[04:00] <tafadzwa> hey couldn't i alias www.tafadzwa.info for www.tafadzwa.info:8080 some how?
[04:00] <yomm> moquist : thx , and what if you are not running gdm ?
[04:00] <Steve_C> Hasrat, it was livecd-i686-installer-2006.1.iso
[04:01] <Hasrat_USA> Steve_C, let me ask you a question. for example, right now you don't have those USB devices in question (keyboard and mouse) attached to your PC. you have the ps/2 mouse and keyboard connected instead. now, if you boot the CD off the liveCD, would it work alright?
[04:01] <Steve_C> Hasrat, right and I don't know but I suspect it would
[04:01] <Timw> i have been play with ubuntu for two whole days
[04:02] <Sivik> how do i fix the problem, sudo: time stamp too far in the future
[04:02] <Timw> right now stuck in two problems
[04:02] <Timw> one is that i can't play nsv files (i even tried wine for this)
[04:02] <Farnaby> Any evolution guys in here?
[04:02] <root__> hi all. How do I install Webmin on my Ubuntu box>?
[04:02] <moquist> yomm: I dunno. I'm running ion2 instead of gnome, though (that's tangentially relevant ;) and the xkbset stuff is in my .bashrc.
[04:02] <cafuego_> Farnaby: We all evolved. Any specifics?
[04:02] <root__> damn, I'm root, brb
[04:03] <Hasrat_USA> Steve_C, it's a debian bug. Ubuntu is based on Debian. the solution is: disconnect your USB keyboard and mouse and keep the ps/2 keyboard and mouse connected before booting up
[04:03] <moquist> adam_, yomm: I'm throwing together a blog post about what I've done now.
[04:03] <Farnaby> cafuego: I am trying to figure out why the tasks from evolution aren't hiding in the clock applet
[04:03] <Xenguy> cafuego_: hehe
[04:03] <Sivik> how do i get past the error, "time stampe too far in the future"
[04:03] <cafuego_> varange: Download from sourceforge, install using gdebi or dpkg -i.
[04:03] <`Jessie> does anyone know why my wireless isn't connecting?
[04:04] <varange> cafuego_: lol, that was quick. Thanks
[04:04] <cafuego_> varange: too much coffee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[04:04] <Sivik> Jessie: what card?
[04:04] <varange> cafuego_: :)))
[04:04] <varange> bye
[04:04] <Steve_C> Hasrat, sorry to have confused you. That's what was plugged in (PS2) when I booted the livecd. The kbd worked very briefly and then froze up, so did the mouse.
[04:04] <cafuego_> Anothe rhappy customer.
[04:04] <Hasrat_USA> okay now it's clear enough
[04:04] <cafuego_> Farnaby: Is the evo dataserver running?
[04:04] <Hasrat_USA> disregard the first solution entirely, since i failed to understand the scenario
[04:04] <`Jessie> Sivik: one moment
[04:05] <Steve_C> Hasrat, when I plugged in a USB mouse after I had booted up the mouse worked
[04:05] <Farnaby> cafuego: yes, they get marked as complete and everything, they just won't hide
[04:05] <Sivik> `Jessie, ok
[04:05] <Steve_C> Hasrat, thanks for helping!
[04:05] <who_cares> can anyone help with this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7139/
[04:05] <tafadzwa> hey could you check www.tafadzwa.info:8080 pls?
[04:05] <_goofy_> how do i stop x
[04:06] <Sivik> _goofy_, kill -9 x
[04:06] <rocketray> Happy Thursday Everyone
[04:06] <cafuego_> Farnaby: Oh, yeah... is it documented anywhere that's they *should* do?
[04:06] <`Jessie> Sivik: it's a Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG
[04:06] <`Jessie> card
[04:06] <_goofy_> thanks
[04:06] <Hotkey> Somehow I goofed up my wirelsss settings (trying to get WPA in there) in 6.06 and can't figure out how to fix.  Asking for help now via WinXP )dual boot) IRC connection.
[04:06] <Farnaby> cafuego: they did until last weekend
[04:06] <orangefly> can anyone help install a broadcom wireless card....???....
[04:06] <transgress_> orangefly: i can
[04:06] <`Jessie> Sivik: I've installed network-manager-gnome too as I use WPA-PSK at home
[04:06] <cafuego_> Farnaby: Hmm, odd. I've never noticed that.
[04:07] <shriphani> can anyone recommends to me a file manager that has a tree in 1 panel and a list of contents in the other ?
[04:07] <orangefly> i have a dell lattitude d520....
[04:07] <Sivik> orangefly: all you have to do, is apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter and then download and move the file wl_apsta.o to the /lib/firmware folder
[04:07] <transgress_> orangefly: or you can read the wiki or forum posts which have already explained it all in massive detail
[04:07] <Hasrat_USA> Steve_C, thanks. hold on a moment
[04:07] <Sivik> orangefly, and then bcm43xx-fwcutter wl_apsta.o and then do a sudo modprobe bcm43xx
[04:07] <Farnaby> cafeuego: I think its related to my new palm pilot, but I am not positive and have tried basically every option I can think of in both evolution and gpilot
[04:07] <orangefly> i have followed a few with no luck....
[04:07] <Sivik> orangefly: thats how mine worked
[04:07] <cafuego_> orangefly: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Edgy
[04:07] <tafadzwa> can some one check www.tafadzwa.info:8080 to see if it is live? for me pls internal it is working not sure about external
[04:08] <Steve_C> Hasrat, just a general observation. I think I would be happy to switch to Linux and so would a lot of others except it seems so hard to try and get any distro to work completely. It seems like there is always some problem. For instance, another problem I'm having with this livecd is the capabilities of my sound card aren't being fully utilized. Only a couple of speakers are working when I play a cd.
[04:08] <Sivik> orangefly: or go ask in bcm-users channel
[04:08] <rocketray> Does anyone have a link to help me upgrade from Ubuntu 6.6 to edgy?
[04:08] <cafuego_> orangefly: If you want, that page contains a link to my firmware package too. Note, I can't guarantee it'll work with anything but a 4306 or 4318.
[04:08] <Sivik> how do i get past the error "sudo, time stamp too far in the future
[04:08] <Hasrat_USA> I understand your concern, worries and woes, Steve_C
[04:08] <Xenguy> Steve_C: you sometimes have to work a bit at it - it is a DIY OS IMHO :-)  It's much easier nowadays than before too
[04:08] <Steve_C> Hasrat :)
[04:08] <Hasrat_USA> but let's fix the problems one by one
[04:09] <orangefly> ok....thanks....
[04:09] <Steve_C> Hasrat, thanks
[04:09] <Hasrat_USA> roovis hey :)
[04:09] <Hasrat_USA> what a surprise lol
[04:09] <roovis> Hasrat_USA: *nod* :)
[04:10] <rocketray> Hints or advice
[04:10] <Hotkey> I have 6.06 installed on HD with dual boot XP.  How do I "uninstall" 6.06 so I can redo a clean install?
[04:10] <Hasrat_USA> Steve_C, your problem with the ps/2 keyboard and mouse can be solved in two ways. I believe one of them could be a little bit too hard for you. but the other one seems to be okay
[04:10] <Steve_C> Hasrat, I'll tell you one thing, this channel is a lot more friendly then one of the Linux forums I have tried before
[04:10] <tafadzwa> so no one can take a sec and check the website for me?
[04:11] <tafadzwa> www.tafadzwa.info:8080
[04:11] <Steve_C> Hasrat, can you give me both solutions?
[04:11] <tafadzwa> up or not? pls
[04:11] <arrenlex> tafadzwa: No.
[04:11] <tafadzwa> hum
[04:11] <tafadzwa> thanks arrenlex
[04:12] <arrenlex> Steve_C: This channel's great :D If they can help you, they will, and do it nicely, even if it's a noob question. This seems to be a rarity on IRC.
[04:13] <Steve_C> arrenlex, that's for sure. I tried a couple of channels and no one even bothered to say hello, or sorry I can't help, or nothing
[04:13] <arrenlex> Steve_C: We say hello because we can make ubotu do it for us. O:)
[04:13] <arrenlex> !hi | Steve_C
[04:13] <ubotu> Steve_C: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[04:13] <orangefly> sivik: it says it can't open file wl_apsta.o
[04:14] <Steve_C> Thanks arrenlux and ubotu
[04:14] <bruenig> !thanks | Steve_C
[04:14] <ubotu> Steve_C: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[04:14] <`Jessie> man I really wish I could sort this wireless thing
[04:14] <arrenlex> !botsnack
[04:14] <ubotu> Yum!
[04:14] <Steve_C> ubotu, I wondered
[04:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about i wondered - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:14] <`Jessie> lol
[04:14] <Sicarul> that's funny
[04:14] <Hasrat_USA> this is solution number:1 (in my opinion it's kinda easy) open a terminal, type sudo gedit /etc/rc.local then type in modprobe -r psmouse (now go right beneath 'modprobe' by hitting enter and type in again) modprobe psmouse proto=imps place these two lines right before the exit 0 line. now save it and restart the computer
[04:14] <`Jessie> ubotu, wireless
[04:14] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[04:15] <roho> where would i find a list of common problems from upgrading from dapper to edgy?
[04:15] <bruenig> ubotu, tell roho about upgrading
[04:15] <tafadzwa> what about now www.tafadzwa.info:8080
[04:15] <roho> thanks
[04:15] <tafadzwa> or www.daclan.info:8080
[04:15] <arrenlex> tafadzwa: No.
[04:15] <tafadzwa> :9
[04:15] <Sicarul> Tafadzwa: not working
[04:15] <tafadzwa> :(
[04:16] <tafadzwa> i dont now what it could be
[04:16] <Hasrat_USA> now, Steve_C this requires some text-editing and i don't know about your skill level yet. anyways here comes the next possible solution, which might look easier or harder depending on your skill level. it requires editing some stuff during boot-up
[04:16] <arrenlex> tafadzwa: Can you connect to it using localhost:8080?
[04:16] <tafadzwa> yeah
[04:16] <Steve_C> Harat, can I do all of that and then hold off rebooting so we can continue to chat
[04:16] <arrenlex> tafadzwa: Can you connect to it using <public ip>:8080?
[04:16] <Sicarul> PING www.daclan.info (192.168.1.100) that explains it
[04:16] <SoulPropagation> How do I change my system-wide DPI
[04:16] <tafadzwa> oh
[04:16] <arrenlex> Oh xD
[04:16] <tafadzwa> hold on one sec
[04:17] <Steve_C> Hasrat, I'm ready for the next possibility
[04:17] <nalpha> guys a little question iif we run ssh to another computer how to make it still run in background if i log out?
[04:17] <Hasrat_USA> at the GRUB loader screen to choose your system, select the first Kernel, or the only kernel and then hit 'e' to edit it. yes but before doing it, read the second and last solution
[04:17] <Hasrat_USA> now let me continue.
[04:18] <tafadzwa> for some reason no
[04:18] <roho> actually, that link didn't help me
[04:18] <roho> those are upgrading instructions
[04:18] <roho> not common problems
[04:18] <Hasrat_USA> now in the next screen select the /kernel line and hit e again to edit it
[04:18] <roho> like, flash doesn't work now
[04:18] <tafadzwa> so it has something to do with my config correct?
[04:18] <bruenig> roho, problems aren't common
[04:18] <Hasrat_USA> at the end of the line between the words 'ro' and 'quiet', insert "usb-handoff"
[04:18] <roho> well, i'm just looking for documentation
[04:18] <Sicarul> nalpha: why would it shut down? or you mean leave some program running?
[04:18] <bruenig> roho, open firefox and put about:plugins into the address bar see what it has to say about flash
[04:19] <Hasrat_USA> press enter to return to the previous screen and press B to boot
[04:19] <adam_> nalpha: I haven't used it myself, but you may be looking for a command called 'screen'...  Or so I've overheard...
[04:19] <Hasrat_USA> now go make a coffee and rejoice :P
[04:19] <roho> flash plugin is installed
[04:19] <bruenig> roho, what version
[04:19] <roho> enabled
[04:19] <arrenlex> Sicarul: I think he means that he wants to open an ssh session, run the program foobar which is some sort of daemon, and then log out of ssh and have the daemon still live.
[04:19] <nalpha> Sicarul, i mean if I log out from that computer i want the process still run in background
[04:19] <Hasrat_USA> well Steve_C now it's all up to you to decide which method you want to follow
[04:19] <roho> Flash Movie player Version 0.4.12 compatible with Shockwave Flash 4.0
[04:19] <Steve_C> Hasrat, I should be able to handle that with one question. I'm not sure about the GRUb loader you talked about. How do I get there?
[04:20] <adam_> Has anyone used Stunnel before?
[04:20] <bruenig> roho, yeah that is garbage, make sure you have backports enabled and do "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree"
[04:20] <Sicarul> nalpha: Doesn't foobar & exit work? i think it does
[04:20] <tafadzwa> clear
[04:20] <arrenlex> Steve_C: It's the list you get when you boot your computer, where you choose what you want to boot.
[04:20] <Hasrat_USA> Steve_C, when you normally restart or boot your PC, does it directly goes to windwos?
[04:20] <Sicarul> nalpha: i just never tried
[04:20] <arrenlex> Sicarul: Doesn't for me. At least not on my university's computers.
[04:20] <nalpha> arrenlex yes true....
[04:20] <nalpha> right i mean
[04:20] <nalpha> sorry my english bad... :)
[04:20] <Sicarul> oh, sorry then, no idea...
[04:20] <roho> already the latest version.  so that means my sources need updating?
[04:20] <`Jessie> Whenever my wireless device tries to connect I get " ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready"  --- why
[04:21] <bruenig> roho, make sure you have the edgy-backports multiverse repo enabled
[04:21] <roho> i don't know what that means
[04:21] <roho> sorry :\
[04:21] <Hasrat_USA> as far as i guess Steve_C hasn't installed Ubuntu on his PC yet. so, therefore, he doesn't necessarily have a boot loader installed at this point
[04:21] <bruenig> roho, pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:21] <bruenig> !paste
[04:21] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[04:22] <Agent_bob> i'm getting an error saying "Unable to create the Foomatic driver [Lexmark-1020,lm1100] . Either that driver does not exist, or..."  could someone check for  >>> Lexmark-1020 <<<  driver confirmation please ?     (dapper drake.)
[04:22] <Sicarul> tafadzwa: That looks like some dns problem, make sure you have it configured so it leads to your IP
[04:22] <_goofy_> how do i remove a program from the command line ....
[04:22] <bruenig> _goofy_, sudo apt-get remove package
[04:22] <tafadzwa> i did a trace route online and it give my ip?
[04:22] <elpargo> hi, anyone here can recommend me any interesting game?

[04:23] <Steve_C> Hasrat, I actually have a bootloader where I tried to install a dual-boot system for windows xp and PCLinux
[04:23] <elpargo> I'm done with all those :)
[04:23] <nalpha> Sicarul okey maybe i tryh it first..
[04:23] <cactusbin> hey
[04:23] <bruenig> !hi | cactusbin
[04:23] <ubotu> cactusbin: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[04:23] <cactusbin> im having some problems
[04:23] <bruenig> !justask | cactusbin
[04:23] <ubotu> cactusbin: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:23] <cactusbin> this is NOT my first time using linux
[04:23] <Steve_C> Hasrat, I haven't tried either method yet. I copied your instructions into a text editor for now
[04:23] <Sicarul> nalpha: ok, good luck!
[04:23] <MatrixMon> Can anyone help me with wine?
[04:23] <elpargo> how about something like city/country building

[04:23] <bruenig> !enter | cactusbin
[04:23] <ubotu> cactusbin: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[04:24] <cactusbin> ok
[04:24] <cactusbin> h/o
[04:24] <Agent_bob> >>> Lexmark-1020 <<<  driver confirmation please, anyone.   (dapper drake)
[04:24] <bruenig> !anyone | MatrixMon
[04:24] <ubotu> MatrixMon: 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?
[04:24] <Hasrat_USA> so, steve C, if you are still using the live CD and experimenting with the OS, i would suggest that you go ahead and install the OS to your HDD, then follow any of the methods described above to solve the ps/2 problem. the latter method would work like a magic and surely work I'm 100 percent sure, since the latter method has been tested by many users who have run into the same kinds of problems. This issue is dismissed and closed.
[04:24] <Sicarul> MatrixMon: Someone may be able to help you, but if nobody knows you may have better luck at #winehq(Wine's irc channel)
[04:25] <arrenlex> !ask | MatrixMon
[04:25] <ubotu> MatrixMon: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)

[04:25] <MatrixMon> Yeah... I installed wine and configured it with winecfg it opened wine. Now how exactly so I get something like wavepad working?
[04:25] <Killah|HojadeVid> join #lanero
[04:25] <Steve_C> Hasrat, ok. I'll try that one. Now back to how to edit the GRUB?
[04:25] <Killah|HojadeVid> join #lanero
[04:25] <Killah|HojadeVid> join #lanero
[04:25] <roho> bruenig: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7143/
[04:25] <Hasrat_USA> you have GRUB?
[04:25] <elpargo> Steve_C, what exactly you need with grub?
[04:26] <cactusbin> I'm having some problems. I'm new to ubuntu but not new with linux. I am trying to use an internal wireless card built into my mother board. It's a Realtek RTL8187. I can see the APs in my range but I can't connect to them. Is there anyway I can get it to work, or do I have to use ndiswrapper (which IMO is a pain in the ass)?
[04:26] <arrenlex> MatrixMon: What happens when you run the command "wine wavepad.exe" or whatever the executable is?
[04:26] <bruenig> roho, do you know what package installed that current version of flash?
[04:26] <cactusbin> brb
[04:26] <MatrixMon> Just a min please
[04:26] <adam_> killah put a forward slash first
[04:26] <Steve_C> Harat, I hate to admit I don't really know
[04:26] <bruenig> roho, because in about:plugins if you have the latest one it should say "Shockwave Flash 9.0 r31"
[04:26] <b0r15> I cannot change the vsftpd.conf file; it says it's read-only. What does that mean?
[04:26] <roho> wow
[04:26] <roho> well, yeah, it doesn't say that
[04:26] <elpargo> cactusbin, if you can see the AP then there is no need for ndis, are you sure those AP are "wide open"
[04:26] <roho> it worked before i upgraded to edgy
[04:26] <Steve_C> Hasrat, actually I think what comes up is LILO?
[04:27] <MatrixMon> wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\wpsetup.exe": Module not found
[04:27] <elpargo> b0r15, that it's read only
[04:27] <chiefbearclaw> bbl
[04:27] <bruenig> roho, ok well do "ls /usr/lib/firefox/plugins | grep fla" what is the output
[04:27] <arrenlex> MatrixMon: Now try executing that in the directory where wpsetup.exe actually is :)
[04:27] <b0r15> so how to I make it un read-only?
[04:27] <elpargo> b0r15, your probably trying to edit a system file owned by other user most likely root, so you should run sudo <command>
[04:28] <elpargo> b0r15, may I ask why you need to do that?
[04:28] <Hasrat_USA> LILO? hmm
[04:28] <b0r15> I have to configure settings for newly installed vsftpd program.
[04:28] <Sicarul_> MatrixMon: Have you checked out http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=6442 ?
[04:28] <elpargo> umm and that file is in /etc?
[04:28] <roho> bruenig: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7144/
[04:28] <Orfeous> how to mount a samba share with swedish character support? what option to use?
[04:28] <b0r15> yes.
[04:28] <MatrixMon> Desktop. But how do i put the path in... wine /home/uname/Desktop/wpsetup.exe?
[04:28] <Steve_C> Hasrat, a question. When the boot screen comes up where I choose Linux or XP are you saying I can press e to edit how it boots? I know one livecd I tried acted something like that.
[04:29] <Hail_Spacecake> how do I find out what my nfs hostname is?
[04:29] <bruenig> roho, ok, try sudo apt-get remove libflash-mozplugin
[04:29] <MatrixMon> Sweet thanks sicarul
[04:29] <transgress_> god this is driving me crazy... my wifi will be working fine... but after i am on it a bit it just starts to lag
[04:29] <Hail_Spacecake> is it the same as the computer's hostname?
[04:29] <lcg99>  ?
[04:29] <elpargo> b0r15, well then gksudo gedit /path/to/file will let you but be careful with what you edit
[04:29] <Hasrat_USA> the answer of the question is Yes. however, if your bootloader currently installed in the system isn't GRUB, the latter method, which is recommended and known to work better than any other method, wouldn't work.
[04:29] <roho> bruenig: it prompted me to autoremove
[04:29] <tafadzwa> can you not run namebased vhosts on a different port then 80?
[04:29] <b0r15> I have already made backup
[04:30] <Hasrat_USA> so, hold on a moment please
[04:30] <elpargo> tafadzwa, that's probably a config option in /etc
[04:30] <Steve_C> Hasrat, is there a way I can tell which I'm using?
[04:30] <bruenig> roho, autoremove whatever it wants you to, unless it is something you know is ridiculous like firefox or something (sudo apt-get autoremove)
[04:30] <roho> it's removing
[04:30] <tafadzwa> [error]  VirtualHost *:60001 -- mixing * ports and non-* ports with a NameVirtualHost address is not supported, proceeding with undefined results
[04:30] <cactusbin> back
[04:30] <cactusbin> I'm having some problems. I'm new to ubuntu but not new with linux. I am trying to use an internal wireless card built into my mother board. It's a Realtek RTL8187. I can see the APs in my range but I can't connect to them. Is there anyway I can get it to work, or do I have to use ndiswrapper (which IMO is a pain in the ass)?
[04:30] <elpargo> Steve_C, if ubuntu is the first linux you install you have grub
[04:31] <FIRESIDE91> Hey all
[04:31] <Hasrat_USA> oh my elpargo you're so clever! *nods*
[04:31] <elpargo> cactusbin, dude I answer you but you left... scroll up
[04:31] <bruenig> roho, ok it should all work now, your problem was that you had two flashes installed, the real one from adobe and this open source wannabe sucky flash and firefox was trying to use the latter
[04:31] <Raider1> Is it normal for Ubuntu 6.06 Server to detect 4 hard drives running on a RAID-5, as 4 separate hard drives ??
[04:31] <roho> what's a good flash test page?
[04:31] <cactusbin> ok
[04:31] <Steve_C> elpargo, actually I have a version of PCLinux that isn't working
[04:31] <bruenig> roho, youtube
[04:31] <roho> yeah
[04:31] <elpargo> bruenig, hey more respect to the open alternative....
[04:31] <Hasrat_USA> roho my all time favourite is youtube :)
[04:31] <bruenig> elpargo, gnash come on
[04:32] <cactusbin> elpargo, it is my AP and it has no encryption of any kind
[04:32] <roho> yeah, it doesn't work
[04:32] <b0r15> for future reference, whenever I want to edit a system file, I need to run "gksudo gedit"?
[04:32] <elpargo> Steve_C, umm no idea what PCLinux uses, ok when it boots what does it shows?
[04:32] <bruenig> roho, make sure you restart firefox
[04:32] <roho> k
[04:32] <Xenguy> b0r15: time to learn vi ;-)
[04:32] <elpargo> bruenig, well to start it's crappy because above doesn't wants to release anything.
[04:32] <FIRESIDE91> @Raider1 What is your RAID controller?
[04:33] <bruenig> elpargo, yes that is true, but that still makes it crappy
[04:33] <elpargo> cactusbin, how about SSID hiding?
[04:33] <cactusbin> nope
[04:33] <akao> what's the url
[04:33] <cactusbin> SSID is broadcasting
[04:33] <Steve_C> elpargo, It gives me several options if I remember correctly. PCLinux, nousb Linux, failsafe Linux, and windows XP
[04:33] <elpargo> bruenig, no it's a full flash7 implementation just as the official one was 2 months ago
[04:33] <Raider1> FIRESIDE91, Just SATA-II, the raid is setup in the BIOS
[04:33] <[R] eaper> somebody help me with my ati radeon x1600, i have the latest ati drivers installed, but ... http://img463.imageshack.us/img463/4847/atix1600qt6.jpg
[04:33] <bruenig> elpargo, I mean I am amazed at what they have done considering they are reverse engineering and how hard that must be, but as of right now it is awful
[04:34] <bruenig> elpargo, from what I understand it doesn't even have sound
[04:34] <FIRESIDE91> Raider1, I'm not concerned what you use to connect the disks, what is the actual RAID chipset on the MoBo?  (usually found in the manual if you have no idea)
[04:34] <elpargo> Steve_C, does it has a square around and some text at the bottom?
[04:34] <cactusbin> .
[04:35] <Sicarul_> bruening: but don't call it a sucky wannabe, it's just undeveloped software, you can't expect much when users don't actually need it because they have flash from adobe
[04:35] <elpargo> Steve_C, it's been a long time since I dont' use lilo but I remember at some point it shows L.I.L.O one letter at a time
[04:35] <elpargo> bruenig, see "awful" is a better word :)
[04:35] <arrenlex> bruenig: What are we discussing?
[04:35] <cactusbin> how do i install emacs on ubuntu
[04:35] <drivera90> odd bug
[04:35] <Orfeous> someone please
[04:35] <GMWeezel> How can USB drives be ejected using the command line?
[04:35] <Raider1> FIRESIDE91, nVidia, buries the manual, dunno what version/model
[04:35] <livingtm> anyone know what launches gnome-panel after login?
[04:35] <Hail_Spacecake> does anyone know?
[04:35] <drivera90> when I click on the red log out button thing
[04:35] <drivera90> it doesn't work
[04:35] <bruenig> Sicarul_, the only problem is that when people start off, they go into synaptic look up flash, since they haven't enabled multiverse, that is all that is there and it describes itself as flash and they install it and then they don't get why it is awful
[04:35] <Steve_C> elpargo, ok so if I am using LILO how can I get rid of it and use GRUB?
[04:36] <drivera90> and i can't open openoffice and stuff
[04:36] <drivera90> thoughts?
[04:36] <elpargo> cactusbin, did you try running dhclient?  re emacs: same as you install anything
[04:36] <arrenlex> bruenig: What are we discussing?
[04:36] <bruenig> arrenlex, gnash
[04:36] <arrenlex> bruenig: Oh, it has sound support. It just doesn't have flash support.
[04:36] <elpargo> !grub
[04:36] <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
[04:36] <bruenig> um
[04:36] <FIRESIDE91> Raider1, So you have a nForce chipset then?  Do you know what version, nForce 1/2/3/4?
[04:36] <bruenig> that is a confusing statement
[04:36] <Hasrat_USA> Steve_C, "elpargo> Steve_C, if ubuntu is the first linux you install you have grub"
[04:36] <arrenlex> !kidding | arrenlex
[04:36] <arrenlex> ...
[04:36] <bruenig> oh no :)
[04:36] <arrenlex> Why doesn't that work anymore? :(
[04:36] <elpargo> Steve_C, the link for recovering will be the same
[04:37] <Raider1> FIRESIDE91, nForce 430
[04:37] <Sicarul_> bruening: Well, i guess that will be fixed for feisty...
[04:37] <arrenlex> !kidding | someonewhoistotallynotarrenlex
[04:37] <ubotu> someonewhoistotallynotarrenlex: You may think your joke is funny, but you may confuse new users or irritate people who actually start answering your question :)
[04:37] <Sicarul_> woops, bruenig*
[04:37] <arrenlex> There we go.
[04:37] <elpargo> !grub Steve_C
[04:37] <ubotu> grub: GRand Unified Bootloader. In component main, is optional. Version 0.97-11ubuntu14 (edgy), package size 359 kB, installed size 764 kB
[04:37] <bruenig> ha
[04:37] <elpargo> bah how that works?
[04:37] <elpargo> Steve_C, | !grub ?
[04:37] <bruenig> elpargo, !grub | person
[04:38] <moquist> adam_: http://n01se.net/paste/g0 documents most of what I've had to do.
[04:38] <elpargo> hehe close enough :) thanks bruenig
[04:38] <shriphani> erm anyone please tell me why i cant start emelfm by just typing it at the prompt
[04:38] <Steve_C> Hasrat, elpargo...I'm going to think about all this and try and figure out what to do.
[04:38] <arrenlex> shriphani: What does it tell you if you try?
[04:38] <elpargo> !grub | Steve_C , that will show you how to (re)install grub
[04:38] <ubotu> Steve_C , that will show you how to (re)install grub: 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
[04:38] <FIRESIDE91> Raider1, what version of Ubuntu are you trying to install?
[04:38] <bruenig> roho, any confirmation on success
[04:38] <Xenguy> shriphani: it is located in a non-standard directory IIRC
[04:38] <Xenguy> shriphani: do a search and grep for string bin
[04:38] <Hasrat_USA> okay steve, don't give up :P
[04:38] <shriphani> command not nd
[04:38] <Raider1> FIRESIDE91, 6.06 Server
[04:39] <Xenguy> shriphani: locate emelfm |grep bin
[04:39] <arrenlex> shriphani: dpkg -L emelfm | grep /usr/bin
[04:39] <roho> no success even after restart
[04:39] <elpargo> Steve_C, why not make some DVD with important data, and delete the virus installed on your C drive?
[04:39] <FIRESIDE91> Raider1, Perfect, found a guide for you http://www.ubuntu-in.org/wiki/SATA_RAID_Howto I assume you are at least partially literate with the CLI?
[04:39] <dibblego> how can I get mplayer to redirect sound to my USB headset?
[04:40] <bruenig> arrenlex's command wins
[04:40] <arrenlex> *wins*
[04:40] <roho> so is there a package that i can download for flash to work?
[04:40] <elpargo> dibblego, check out alsamixer probably your headset output is turn off
[04:40] <adam_> moquist: Awesome!  I've bookmarked it... thanks :)
[04:40] <dibblego> elpargo, ok thanks
[04:40] <roho> it still says that same version in about:plugins
[04:40] <Meep> Does anyone know about Java + firefox + xcb errors?
[04:40] <Steve_C> Hasrat, now I'm trying to save this log but it tells me my only mounted device is read only ....arrrggghhh!
[04:40] <bruenig> roho, is libflashplayer.so and flashplayer.xpt still in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins?
[04:41] <b0r15> I have configured the vsftpd server. Now when I log onto the IP, I get: "500 OOPS: Child Died", what does this mean?
[04:41] <roho> yes, still there
[04:41] <roho> would it matter that i'm using swiftfox?
[04:41] <elpargo> roho, did you install something manually? I'll suggest you delete every package and just use the installer from their site.
[04:41] <Xenguy> arrenlex: your command was better, yes, but mine *works* :P
[04:41] <elpargo> Xenguy, then your is wrong :)
[04:41] <bruenig> roho, yes, it would, did you try firefox, does it work?
[04:42] <Xenguy> elpargo: wrong - if it works, it does
[04:42] <MatrixMon> Thanks for the help with wine works great!
[04:42] <elpargo> Xenguy, it's a waste of resources, starting with the time you wasted typing it
[04:42] <bruenig> roho's mexican cousin is here
[04:42] <Xenguy> elpargo: you are rude, and about to be ignored :P
[04:42] <roho> ok, yeah it works
[04:42] <shriphani> arrenlex, Xenguy it prints nothing
[04:43] <elpargo> Xenguy, I'm bored and you bite
[04:43] <bruenig> roho, ok how did you install swiftfox? please don't say automatix
[04:43] <Xenguy> shriphani: OK, mea culpa, it works here, YMMV
[04:43] <Xenguy> elpargo: bye
[04:43] <roho> bruenig: i don't think i used automatix
[04:43] <b0r15> anyone here have ideas about that error message: "500 OOPS: Child Died"??
[04:43] <shriphani> but if i hit sudo emelfm [dir]  it opens
[04:43] <arrenlex> shriphani: dpkg -L emelfm | grep bin
[04:43] <elpargo> I though the new automatix didn't such that much
[04:43] <bruenig> roho, ok um do file /usr/bin/swiftfox and see what it says
[04:43] <rojo^> hiya.  Just bought a wacom tablet, only to find out that it and Beryl don't quite get along.  My hotkeys stopped working -- both mouse and keyboard, so I can't rotate my cube, zoom, etc.  Anyone else got a wacom tablet or know of a howto dealing with this problem?
[04:44] <arrenlex> shriphani: Ah. Then it's in /sbin/emelfm or /usr/sbin/emelfm, indicating it should be run as root.
[04:44] <elim_> A query (on Dapper): I installed libdvdcss2, then VLC, yet when I tried to play a DVD with VLC it simply doesn't play (or open, or anything).  I tried in Totem-gstreamer (with gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg, which should cover the codecs) and got a "No URI handler" error.  Any idea what's going on?
[04:44] <elpargo> rojo^, #beryl
[04:44] <Nergar> !java
[04:44] <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. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[04:44] <rojo^> elpargo: good idea
[04:44] <`Jessie> any ideas on my wireless issue?
[04:44] <rojo^> thx
[04:44] <roho> uh, it's a symbolic link to the binary
[04:44] <shriphani> arrenlex, you penultimate command gave me a location
[04:44] <bruenig> roho, yes but where is the binary
[04:44] <Hasrat_USA> Steve_C, which operating system are you on right now?
[04:44] <Steve_C> Hasrat, ok. I got it saved on a thumb drive
[04:44] <Nergar> does java 6 has a mozilla plugin yet??
[04:44] <`Jessie> ubotu: wireless
[04:44] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[04:44] <bruenig> roho, it is either in /opt or /usr/lib, depends on how you installed
[04:44] <roho> it's in /opt/swiftfox/
[04:45] <shriphani> /usr/X11RC/bin
[04:45] <Hasrat_USA> uh okay but aren't you on windows right now?
[04:45] <MatrixMon> Can anyone tell me.. if I want to play a song with wavepad (on WinXp) with linux. Do I have to put the song in the wine path?
[04:45] <shriphani> + /emelfm to that
[04:45] <arrenlex> MatrixMon: File - Open :)
[04:45] <Steve_C> Hasrat, nope. I'm using the LiveCD for Ubuntu (a different version then the one that was giving me a problem with my kbd)
[04:46] <shriphani> arrenlex, X11RC isnt in my PATH
[04:46] <elpargo> MatrixMon, the only thing that needs to be on the path are the files that are "installed on windows"
[04:46] <roho> is it bad if it's in /opt?
[04:46] <TheDracle> Is there any way to stop ubuntu auto-update from updating a specific list of packages?
[04:46] <Hasrat_USA> Steve_C holy crap! using Ubuntu's live CD you are allowed to save/download files. i don't know what's going on over there
[04:46] <MatrixMon> Well when I open wavepad and try to play a song it doesn't work...
[04:46] <arrenlex> shriphani: That's not me, and that's a typo. X11R6
[04:46] <arrenlex> MatrixMon: "doesn't work"?
[04:47] <Hasrat_USA> as far as i know, there shouldn't be much problems with writing to disc while using a live CD
[04:47] <jwl007> does anyone know of a simple guide to get mysql server/client working via apt-get?
[04:47] <cafuego_> Hasrat_USA: Why wouldn't you be allowed to download/dave files?
[04:47] <bruenig> roho, ok, then do the following "sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/* /opt/swiftfox/plugins"
[04:47] <shriphani> yeah arrenlex X11R6
[04:47] <elpargo> roho, /opt is where you install external to the system packages, it's just a convention, that package is ok there
[04:47] <arrenlex> TheDracle: Using synaptic, or using apt?
[04:47] <MatrixMon> Wavepad won't play the songtitle.ogg
[04:47] <Jordan_U> How can I map the command key ( Apple keyboard ) to super ( beryl uses a lot of shortcuts with super ) ?
[04:47] <elpargo> arrenlex, they are the same :)
[04:47] <arrenlex> MatrixMon: What does it say?
[04:47] <arrenlex> elpargo: What is the same?
[04:47] <shriphani> arrenlex, so adding it to my PATH  should work rigth ?
[04:47] <Steve_C> Hasrat, that's one of the things that makes it so difficult. One distro may work with say my sound card and another may not. Therefore I'd like to know what it is about the one that makes it work so I could port it over to another that I might like better
[04:47] <TheDracle> arrenlex, I don't care which.. I just don't want the updates to appear in the upper menubar.
[04:47] <shriphani> right ^
[04:47] <cafuego_> Hasrat_USA: Just be aware that if you don't have them to a seperate disk, they won't be there afetr a reboot.
[04:47] <TheDracle> arrenlex, Like, ubuntu is finding updated versions of beryl--- which don't work.
[04:47] <elpargo> arrenlex, apt and synaptics they call the same database that's why you can't run them together
[04:48] <jess|lappy> hey, can anyone help with a wireless issue?
[04:48] <TheDracle> arrenlex, And I tried aptitude hold <package name>, but apparently it just ignores it, and installs the updates anyways.
[04:48] <Hasrat_USA> cafuego, i was talking to Steve_C. he was claiming that he was using the PC using an ubuntu live CD and when he went to save this IRC log, the pc replied that the device/disk that Steve_C mounted was read only
[04:48] <elpargo> jess|lappy, don't ask to ask
[04:48] <roho> yay
[04:48] <MatrixMon> Please click the proper format in Tools ---> Options (in wavepad)
[04:48] <jess|lappy> elpargo: sorry
[04:48] <bruenig> roho, oh you might also need to do sudo rm /opt/swiftfox/plugins/libflash-mozplugin.so do it just to make sure
[04:48] <arrenlex> elpargo: Yes, I know that. I was asking because if he uses synaptic, there's a way to hold packages in synaptic that I don't know of since I don't use it. But if he uses the command line, I can tell him about apt pinning.
[04:48] <Nergar> can someone taka a look at: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7146/
[04:48] <cafuego_> Hasrat_USA: Probably an ntfs disk
[04:48] <elpargo> MatrixMon, maybe it's an issue with wine, why you want to play a file on wine anyway?
[04:48] <MatrixMon> I figured because wavepad runs in windows I would have to put the music in windows for wavepad to notice it
[04:48] <cafuego_> Pelo: burn a hedgy
[04:48] <cafuego_> hedge
[04:49] <Steve_C> Hasrat, cafuego you are probably correct
[04:49] <jess|lappy> elpargo: I have an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Wireless adaptor built into this laptop
[04:49] <fulat2k> hi folks, if i have herd4 installed now, can i do a dist-upgrade when the final one is out/
[04:49] <bruenig> fulat2k, yes, and #ubuntu+1 is for feisty
[04:49] <elpargo> jess|lappy, ahh that's common, it should work out of the box
[04:49] <arrenlex> MatrixMon: elpargo's is a good question. Why not use a native player?
[04:49] <elpargo> arrenlex, well uninstall it
[04:49] <jess|lappy> elpargo: from what I can see, it's detecting my networks fine but can't connect.  I have wpa_supplicant and network-manager-gnome
[04:49] <fulat2k> bruenig: ohh... thx.  didn't know that :P
[04:49] <arrenlex> elpargo: Uninstall what?
[04:49] <Hasrat_USA> okay. so, the logs are saved onto a thumb drive. if it's not, steve. C, you will get it from me :P
[04:49] <elpargo> arrenlex, ahhh I mean uncheck it
[04:49] <Steve_C> Hasrat, cafuego...can you not write to a ntfs disk in Ubuntu or Linux?
[04:50] <arrenlex> elpargo: Uncheck what?
[04:50] <Hasrat_USA> Steve_C, nope
[04:50] <bruenig> !ntfs-3g | Steve_C
[04:50] <Hasrat_USA> not yet
[04:50] <ubotu> Steve_C: 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)
[04:50] <elpargo> arrenlex, that's hwo you hold a package in synaptics
[04:50] <arrenlex> elpargo: Talk to TheDracle. I'm fine the way I do it. :)
[04:50] <Hail_Spacecake> I'm trying to share folders with a suse computer with an nfs shared folder on the ubuntu computer
[04:50] <TheDracle> arrenlex, God.. It won't listen to me.... I've tried locking the version....
[04:50] <jess|lappy> elpargo: I keep getting this: Feb 22 22:46:42 jessica-laptop kernel: [17181516.684000]  ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready
[04:50] <MatrixMon> Well I need wavepad to edit some music I have on my linux box here. And I can't seem to find a good program in linux to do that so I just figured I would run wavepad in wine to edit it
[04:50] <TheDracle> arrenlex, Like, through synaptic, and holding it with aptitude... It just.. Updates right over the top of it.
[04:51] <Hail_Spacecake> when I go to system>administration>shared folders
[04:51] <bruenig> !info audacity | MatrixMon
[04:51] <JessicaFL> Has anyone heard of an nForce ethernet driver?  Does Ubuntu support it?
[04:51] <elpargo> jess|lappy, umm that's in network manager right?
[04:51] <ubotu> matrixmon: audacity: A fast, cross-platform audio editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.4b-2.1ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 1850 kB, installed size 5444 kB
[04:51] <Hail_Spacecake> and try to add the folder I want to share
[04:51] <MatrixMon> Yeah I tried audacity... didn't quite do what I wanted it too
[04:51] <Hail_Spacecake> in the allowed hosts box
[04:51] <jess|lappy> elpargo: yes
[04:51] <elpargo> JessicaFL, if that's a kernel of course it works
[04:51] <Xenguy> Quintin: stoned.dont.boggart
[04:51] <JessicaFL> No, eMachines said it was the type of NIC I had.
[04:51] <Xenguy> ww
[04:51] <Hail_Spacecake> it lists by default "hosts in wlan0 network"
[04:51] <JessicaFL> I didn't think nVidia made ethernet drivers though.
[04:51] <elpargo> jess|lappy, your access point has any type of security? if not open a shell and type dhclient
[04:52] <Hail_Spacecake> but I want it to be shared over the eth0
[04:52] <jess|lappy> elpargo: my AP uses wpa_psk. Momma didn't raise no fool. :)
[04:52] <Hail_Spacecake> so I set allowd hosts to hosts in the eth0 network
[04:52] <arrenlex> TheDracle: You could always pin it manually, I guess...
[04:52] <arrenlex> !pin | TheDracle
[04:52] <ubotu> TheDracle: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
[04:52] <Hail_Spacecake> and click okay for everything
[04:52] <Hail_Spacecake> but I can't find the shared folder on the suse computer
[04:52] <MatrixMon> Hail: haha nice screen name!
[04:52] <jwl007> when i install mysql-server, then try running sudo mysqladmin root password xxxxx, then it tells me access denied for user root@localhost, any ideas?
[04:52] <elpargo> JessicaFL, are you using the "generic" kernel?
[04:52] <Hail_Spacecake> and when I go back to the shard folders dialog
[04:53] <FIRESIDE91> jess|lappy, Ubuntu and Linux and general are lacking decent WPA support at the moment, use WEP instead
[04:53] <JessicaFL> yes
[04:53] <Hail_Spacecake> it resets everything to being shared only on wlan0
[04:53] <Steve_C> Hasrat, one last question before I go...I'm thinking of formatting the partitions I setup for PCLinux and then install Ubuntu. Do you think I'll have to do anything to the boot loader to get it to work?
[04:53] <elpargo> jess|lappy, mine is open like a *****
[04:53] <Hail_Spacecake> so what gvies?
[04:53] <elpargo> FIRESIDE91, that's not true....
[04:53] <Hail_Spacecake> MatrixMon: heh, hopefully it catches peoples' attention
[04:53] <Hail_Spacecake> so they answer my questions! :)
[04:53] <FIRESIDE91> elpargo, it is there, but not very mature yet
[04:53] <jess|lappy> elpargo: but I have wpa_supplicant installed and network-manager-gnome (which *supposedly* is supposed to allow access to wpa_psk networks)
[04:53] <Hasrat_USA> Steve_C, no. just format and partition the partitions using Ubuntu's GParted
[04:54] <nytejade> Is there a "safe mode" for Ubuntu?
[04:54] <Hasrat_USA> nytejade, yes
[04:54] <nytejade> Something like hodling SHIFT while booting and going into a safe console?
[04:54] <nytejade> How do I do that/
[04:54] <nytejade> I've heard hold esc, but that never worked for me.
[04:54] <arrenlex> nytejade: single user mode at the boot prompt
[04:54] <elpargo> FIRESIDE91, it's there and works great. now is it point and click no, but if your a security concern person you know that point-and-click is bad
[04:54] <bruenig> nytejade, isn't there a recovery mode when you boot, or single user
[04:54] <FIRESIDE91> nytejade, yes, select a recovery mode kernel from GRUB
[04:54] <jrib> javiolo: yep, -9 means force
[04:54] <elpargo> jess|lappy, ok lets see wpa_supplicant did you configure your AP there?
[04:54] <ALL4N> hey, I have some problem trying to get my webcam working with ubuntu
[04:54] <Steve_C> Hasrat, ok thanks and thanks for all the help you've given me!! I appreciate it!!
[04:55] <elpargo> and me :(
[04:55] <javiolo> jrib wow that was fast :p I think it was 40 minutes ago :P
[04:55] <jess|lappy> elpargo: I didn't think I had to since I was trying to do it the GUI way through network-manager-gnome
[04:55] <FIRESIDE91> elpargo, I, personally have had lots of issues with it, then again I just have a unencrypted AP with MAC filters
[04:55] <Hasrat_USA> you're welcome, Steve_C. we do hope to see you again in near future :)
[04:55] <b0r15> how do I make the vsftpd server un-anonymous? I have it configured as this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91887
[04:55] <jess|lappy> elpargo: -do- I have to set it up in the conf?
[04:55] <elpargo> FIRESIDE91, check out wifi radar
[04:55] <MatrixMon> Can anyone tell me what wine's website is?
[04:55] <Steve_C> Hasrat, I'm going to call it a night. I'll try and let you know how it goes but it might be a while before I do anything. Thanks again!
[04:55] <arrenlex> MatrixMon: winehq.com
[04:56] <elpargo> jess|lappy, I haven't used network manager so I don't know if it does it on the background
[04:56] <ALL4N> when I plug in my webcam and do a dmesg | tail it seems like the driver is being properly loaded, but all cam software (ekiga, camorama) I try to run hangs
[04:56] <alex_spaz> i cant get 3d desk to work its giving me error message Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

[05:00] <dynamicreflux> how does one install a test graphics driver from intel in the ".SO" extension?
[05:00] <arrenlex> dynamicreflux: .so are libraries. Like .dll. You don't install or run them. You donwloaded something wrong.
[05:00] <arrenlex> dynamicreflux: Are you sure that's not .sh?
[05:01] <dynamicreflux> i got it straight from intel's website arrenlex , what do i do with this .so file in that case? as of right now, im running 915 intel gfx drivers
[05:01] <jess|lappy> grrr!
[05:01] <jess|lappy> i can't figure this out
[05:01] <dynamicreflux> "i810_drv.so"
[05:01] <jess|lappy> i may just do the wep thing
[05:01] <jess|lappy> lol

[05:02] <ubotu> alex_spaz: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[05:02] <arrenlex> dynamicreflux: Oh. That goes in... hold on...
[05:02] <SilentDis> 'lo :)
[05:02] <cables> dynamicreflux, are you trying to install drivers for an Intel video chipset? There's a good guide here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/i915Driver?highlight=%28915%29
[05:03] <dynamicreflux> further more arrenlex, what do i need to do to xorg.conf inorder to get aixgl with beryl running? hopefully this chipset runs aixgl and beryl =\
[05:03] <dimeotane> hah ubotu... all knowing
[05:03] <dynamicreflux> cables : yes
[05:03] <arrenlex> dynamicreflux: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers
[05:03] <dynamicreflux> cables: would u happen to know if it can do aixgl + beryl
[05:03] <arrenlex> dynamicreflux: But is there any reason why you can't install intel drivers from the repositories?
[05:03] <cables> dynamicreflux, follow that guide, then follow the one Ubotu will tell you about
[05:03] <cables> !beryl
[05:03] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects

[05:04] <dynamicreflux> dimeotane: 945GM
[05:04] <cables> dynamicreflux, sorry, that didn't get me what I expected. Follow the first guide I sent, then for Beryl, I'll send you another guide.
[05:04] <arrenlex> dynamicreflux: You should just install xserver-xorg-video-i810
[05:04] <cables> dynamicreflux, go here for beryl instructions when you're done setting up your graphics card: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BerylOnEdgy
[05:05] <dynamicreflux> cables: will you be aorund in about 10 minutes?
[05:05] <dimeotane> dynamicreflux: I'm on a dell m1210... I find some things have working 3d and other opengl stuff doesn't work.... I think I have the 945

[05:11] <mister_roboto> alex_spaz: that's why about 30 people sent you the link to it!
[05:11] <ALL4N> anyone know how to compile pwc-source here?
[05:12] <hunzikea> arrenlex: thanks anyway
[05:12] <ALL4N> pwc is I think a kernel module..
[05:12] <b0r15> For some reason I cannot open a hard drive.
[05:12] <skelter> hey - i rebooted after doing a patch (prompted by ubuntu) and now X won't start :( something about a mismatch of nvidia versions?
[05:12] <b0r15> It says it cannot be mounted.
[05:12] <mothersuperior2> hee
[05:12] <mothersuperior2> Skelter
[05:12] <skelter> i'm using the command line irc from a GUI-less shell :(
[05:12] <SilentDis> skelter, you upgraded your kernel right?  you'll need to reinstall the nvidia driver probably.
[05:12] <alex_spaz> know i know
[05:12] <ALL4N> skelter: me too  :p
[05:12] <mothersuperior2> recovery mode
[05:13] <mothersuperior2> =)
[05:13] <alex_spaz> sorry again
[05:13] <skelter> can i do that with apt-get somehow?
[05:13] <skelter> i think that's how i installed nvidia drivers the last time
[05:13] <mothersuperior2> yep
[05:13] <rp3> that pastebin thing is neat, just watching things go by one learns so much.. Amazing.
[05:13] <skelter> could you please tell me what i need to install?
[05:13] <SilentDis> skelter, did you use envy to install the vid driver the first time?
[05:13] <cables> Ironman273, first time user at what?
[05:13] <stooges> run as super-user?
[05:13] <skelter> silentdis: i think i used apt-get
[05:13] <skelter> but no guarantee
[05:13] <stooges> i dont know what i means by run as super-user
[05:13] <Ironman273> cables: Umm.. Linux in general
[05:14] <dick> arrenlex, wasn't really what i was looking for, but it did the job for tonight :D thanks alot... I have a project due tomorrow and that just helped a bunch
[05:14] <SilentDis> skelter, were you using the binary blob drivers (the ones straight from nvidia's website)?
[05:14] <rp3> skelter : i installed mine via Automatix and it worked great.  just FYI
[05:14] <skelter> i installed them via a command line from a how-to for getting beryl to work
[05:14] <arrenlex> dick: Sorry, I forget, what did I tell you again? xD
[05:14] <SilentDis> skelter, I would recommend grabbing envy, it'll take care of it for you
[05:14] <SilentDis> !envy | skelter
[05:14] <ubotu> skelter: 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
[05:14] <dick> that math site
[05:14] <cables> Ironman273, this is a great place to start. Just ask any questions you want to know the answers to.
[05:15] <skelter> can i get that all working from the command line here?
[05:15] <Ironman273> When documentation says to use a command (such as gksu) is that in Terminal?
[05:15] <cables> Is Envy stable enough now?
[05:15] <stooges> okay, i wonder what does it mean i have to be a super-user to install a driver?
[05:15] <cables> Ironman273, yep
[05:15] <cables> stooges, you need to use sudo
[05:15] <SillyG> i found a really random glitch in the ubuntu desktop
[05:15] <SilentDis> skelter, yep.  do you have lynx or elinks (text based web browser) installed?
[05:15] <SillyG> idk why its doing this
[05:15] <skelter> probably, if not i can apt-get it
[05:16] <SilentDis> skelter, hold a moment... let me just get you a wget line.  makes life easier :)
[05:16] <alex_spaz> here is the lspci http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7155/
[05:16] <skelter> :) that is much appreciated
[05:16] <Ironman273> OK, I'm trying to update 6.06 to 6.10 and the documentation tells me to use gksu update-manager -c  but terminal doesn't seem to like that\
[05:16] <stooges> okay thanks
[05:16] <SillyG> can someone fill me in
[05:16] <SillyG> on why its doing this
[05:16] <SillyG> its in gnome 2.16
[05:17] <llol> anyone know to how to deal with RAID installations
[05:17] <Dr_willis> !enter
[05:17] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[05:17] <SillyG> kinda funny actually
[05:17] <SilentDis> Ironman273, you need to be a super user, or root.  put a 'sudo' in front of that, and you're golden :)
[05:17] <cafuego_> SillyG: What is it actually doing? Care to share?
[05:17] <SillyG> alt+printscreen+b
[05:17] <stooges> okay i installed teh drivers.. does it mean i have to restart to make display drivers resolution higher?
[05:17] <cables> Ironman273, try using gksudo instead of gksu
[05:17] <SilentDis> alex_spaz, this is your vid card: VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems CyberBlade XPAi1 (rev 82
[05:17] <arrenlex> alex_spaz: That's weird, it usually says... ALi is Acer Laboratories Incorporated probably, and since it's been acquired by nvidia, I would guess you have an nvidia card.
[05:17] <alex_spaz> did you get it?
[05:17] <dick> I got anther q for the room, I just got a Kodak C875... I am have alot of problems finding a program that will support it on linux. any suggestions?
[05:17] <arrenlex> alex_spaz: Oh. Listen to SilentDis, he knows what he's talking about.
[05:18] <cables> Ironman273, make sure you back up though. You can run into problems with upgrading, especially if you've used Automatix.
[05:18] <Dr_willis> dick,  if it is seen as usb-drive - ya should be able to get pics off of it.
[05:18] <llol> how do i install LILO on Md0 raid drive
[05:18] <SilentDis> skelter, wget http://albertomilone.com/ubuntu/nvidia/scripts/envy_0.8.2-0ubuntu1_all.deb
[05:18] <shriphani> dick, you could look at gphoto
[05:18] <alex_spaz> ok why does 3d desk not work
[05:18] <darkch1ld> what's the best program for viewing videos in ubuntu?  emphasis on divx support
[05:18] <Dr_willis> darkch1ld,  depends on your needs. I perfer vlc
[05:18] <arrenlex> darkch1ld: mplayer!
[05:18] <Hasrat_USA> dark_light vlc
[05:18] <shriphani> http://www.gphoto.org/
[05:18] <SillyG>  cafuego_: did you try it?
[05:18] <dick> it has a usb attachment
[05:18] <rp3> darkch1ld : VLC
[05:18] <SilentDis> alex_spaz, that doesn't look like a 3d capable vid card
[05:19] <Ironman273> This is a fresh install of 6.06 because I had the CD here.  Have done nothing to it except the automatic updates.
[05:19] <SillyG> do you knwow why it does that?
[05:19] <alex_spaz> it is
[05:19] <cables> Ironman273, that's good.
[05:19] <skelter> ok, thanks silentdis
[05:19] <lovely_green> hi....
[05:19] <alex_spaz> i need to turn 3d acceleration on
[05:19] <skelter> hopefully i don't come back O:-)
[05:19] <SilentDis> skelter, nt :)
[05:19] <Ironman273> I'm still getting issues.  Could someone look at the sintax?  I'm typing it as such: gksudo update-manager -c 
[05:19] <cables> darkch1ld, try them all... it won't hurt anything
[05:19] <cafuego> SillyG: So what's it supposed to do?
[05:19] <cafuego> SillyG: Get you banned?
[05:19] <SillyG> it makes my desktop crash
[05:19] <Hasrat_USA> Ironman273, gksudo update-manager -c
[05:20] <cafuego> SillyG: Uh, no.
[05:20] <Ironman273> Ahh, no quotes then?
[05:20] <Hasrat_USA> lmao
[05:20] <cafuego> SillyG: It makes you tell the kernel to reboot immediately.
[05:20] <Hasrat_USA> damn
[05:20] <Dr_willis> alt-printscreen = the SysRq Key = it says so right on my keyboard.
[05:20] <alex_spaz> i need to turn 3d acceleration on how can i do so
[05:21] <Dr_willis> alex_spaz,  install the nvidia or ati drivers for your card.. (ulness ya dont have an ati or nvidia card)
[05:21] <cables> alex_spaz, what type of graphics card do you use?
[05:21] <Ironman273> Now Terminal says "gksudo: invalid option -- c"
[05:21] <alex_spaz> trident
[05:21] <SilentDis> alex_spaz, that doesn't appear to be a 3d accelerated vid card.  have you had windows on this machine before?  were you able to play 3d games?
[05:21] <alex_spaz> nvidia
[05:21] <Dr_willis> egads..
[05:21] <Dr_willis> trident or nvidia?
[05:21] <arrenlex> alex_spaz: trident, not nvidia. I was mistaken.
[05:21] <alex_spaz> yes i have
[05:21] <ALL4N> anyone know how to compile the package pwc-source?
[05:21] <cables> alex_spaz, nvidia?

[05:22] <alex_spaz> arrenlex, what is my card
[05:22] <arrenlex> alex_spaz: trident
[05:22] <arrenlex> (21:21:42) arrenlex: alex_spaz: trident, not nvidia. I was mistaken.
[05:22] <dynamicreflux> cable: you still there my friend?
[05:23] <skelter> silentdis, was that albertomilone.com/ubuntu/nvidia/scripts/envy_0.8.2-0ubuntu1_all.deb ? getting a 404
[05:23] <cables> dynamicreflux, yep... wht's going on?
[05:23] <SilentDis> alex_spaz, this is your vid card info: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems CyberBlade XPAi1 (rev 82
[05:23] <arrenlex> alex_spaz: You DO have an IRC client that highlight messages with your name in them, right? I get the feeling you're missing half of what's said to you..
[05:23] <alex_spaz> arrenlex, yes it is
[05:23] <SilentDis> skelter, http://albertomilone.com/ubuntu/nvidia/scripts/envy_0.8.2-0ubuntu1_all.deb
[05:23] <dynamicreflux> cable: juuuuust about getting to work, just installed beryl however, when i launch it via terminal things go whacky, and the terminal mentioned a .05 lib file of some type error
[05:23] <dynamicreflux> is there a command i can put in terminal to test aixgl?
[05:24] <cables> dynamicreflux, I'm not good at that stuff... check out #ubuntu-effects and #beryl
[05:24] <alex_spaz> arrenlex, it is 3d capable on windows
[05:24] <arrenlex> dynamicreflux: Does your 3D acceleration work? What's the output of "glxinfo | grep render"? Does glxgears run?
[05:24] <skelter> silentdis - yes that's what i tried i'm pretty sure...i get a 404?
[05:24] <arrenlex> alex_spaz: google seems to indicate that the trident driver offers acceleration.
[05:24] <Valroadie> so i put ubuntu on my comp today to find out that i cant seem to set up my network connection...its version 6.06
[05:24] <skelter> silentdis, or was there a difference between what you put and what i put
[05:24] <dynamicreflux> arrenlex: yes to direct rendering \ Yes to glxgears
[05:25] <dynamicreflux> arrenlex: libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x5b
[05:25] <alex_spaz> arrenlex, i saw but 3d desk doesnt work
[05:25] <arrenlex> dynamicreflux: What card?
[05:25] <cables> Valroadie, what sort of connection?
[05:25] <dynamicreflux> arrenlex: 945GM intel
[05:25] <SilentDis> skelter, you didn't have the http:// part, which is required for wget...
[05:25] <cables> Valroadie, wireless or wired?
[05:25] <skelter> oh i included that when i actualyl did the command line
[05:25] <arrenlex> alex_spaz: What does "glxinfo | grep render" say for you?
[05:25] <Valroadie> wireless
[05:25] <cables> !wifi | Valroadie
[05:25] <ubotu> Valroadie: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:25] <skelter> silentdis, or else i wo uldn't have even got a 404
[05:25] <arrenlex> dynamicreflux: I dunno. That card WorksForMe(tm).
[05:25] <SilentDis> skelter, I'll try just sending it to ya.  it's small.
[05:26] <dynamicreflux> what i did arrenlex, is install beryl from repositories, was there anything im supposed to do to xorg.conf?
[05:26] <skelter> silentdis, i might not be sure how to accept irc file transfers...
[05:26] <dimeotane> arrenlex: what does it mean if it says: libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x5b
[05:26] <arrenlex> dynamicreflux: No, if your X runs.
[05:26] <Ironman273> What's the command to upgrade from 6.06 yo 6.10?
[05:26] <rp3> how do you tell what ver your nvidia drive is?
[05:26] <cables> Ironman273, did'nt you just ask about it?
[05:26] <dynamicreflux> X is running dandy
[05:26] <dick> yeah, all the camera programs i find don't have Kodak c875 listed. am i just screwed?
[05:26] <Ironman273> Yes, but it's not working.  It's not accepting -c
[05:27] <dimeotane> Ironman273: don't  bother.. stick with 6.06 until feisty is stable
[05:27] <arrenlex> dimeotane: Nothing, I think. I get a similar error all the time... my 3D still works. But then, I don't run beryl.
[05:27] <cables> !who | Ironman273
[05:27] <ubotu> Ironman273: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[05:27] <SilentDis> alex_spaz, I have info for you... your card is NOT 3d accelerated under linux.  "The XP series are NOT hardware accelerated due to the specifications of the chip not being released." from http://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=9610
[05:27] <cables> Ironman273, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades
[05:27] <Valroadie> cables..the card and everything is fine because it runs on foresight fine. It recognizes the card and everything, but every time i go to activate it...it doesnt do anything
[05:27] <SillyG> can anyone else confirm the alt+printscreen+b bug?
[05:27] <arrenlex> All hail SilentDis' amazing research skillz.
[05:28] <SilentDis> arrenlex, :D
[05:28] <SilentDis> lol
[05:28] <arrenlex> SillyG: What bug is this?
[05:28] <cafuego> !ops
[05:28] <ubotu> Help! Mez, LjL, elkbuntu, imbrandon, DBO, gnomefreak, Hobbsee, rob, ompaul, Madpilot, Burgundavia, Seveas, CarlK, crimsun, ajmitch, tritium, Nalioth, thoreauputic, apokryphos or tonyyarusso
[05:28] <tonyyarusso> cafuego: ?
[05:28] <cables> Ironman273, are you following that guide?
[05:28] <cafuego> tonyyarusso: SillyG is attempting to get people to hit sysrq-b
[05:28] <dynamicreflux> i wonder what is causing this libGL 0x5b error
[05:28] <Xenguy> keel heem
[05:28] <SillyG> ?
[05:28] <arrenlex> What do... oh, boot. xD
[05:28] <SilentDis> alex_spaz, it'll work for desktop use, but there's no Linux 3D acceleration available.  sorry.
[05:28] <arrenlex> Got it.
[05:29] <dick> Anyone here have any ideas how i can get my camra working?
[05:29] <Ironman273> cables: Yes, but it's just telling me my system is up to date.  It's not showing me the 6.10 update
[05:29] <skelter> cafuego: what is sysrq-b?
[05:29] <arrenlex> skelter: hard reboot
[05:29] <cafuego> skelter: instant hard reboot
[05:29] <cables> Ironman273, you don't see anything near the top about a new distribution?
[05:29] <Valroadie>  cables:the card and everything is fine because it runs on foresight fine. It recognizes the card and everything, but every time i go to activate it...it doesnt do anything
[05:29] <shine_down> hello
[05:29] <alex_spaz> arrenlex, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7158/
[05:29] <cables> Valroadie, check the list in the thing Ubotu sent you
[05:30] <EdibleEgg> can anyone help me out, trying to dual boot xp/ubuntu 6.10
[05:30] <Valroadie> ok
[05:30] <alex_spaz> arrenlex, so it wont work
[05:30] <arrenlex> alex_spaz: As silentdis said, your card will not be accelerated under Linux.  Sorry.
[05:30] <Ironman273> cables: No, I've seen a screenshot of what it should look like and it just shows me an empty window
[05:30] <b0r15> how come Ubuntu cannot mount my 2nd. hard drive?
[05:30] <cables> EdibleEgg, make sure Windows is booted first.
[05:30] <alex_spaz> arrenlex, there are no setting i can change
[05:30] <arrenlex> alex_spaz: The driver does not exist.
[05:30] <rp3> ok if someone answered my question sorry, but how do you check the version of nvidia driver you have installed?
[05:30] <EdibleEgg> cables: XP is installed, and I have the live CD of ubuntu that i've been using to boot from
[05:30] <Ironman273> cables: At least I learned about Alt+F2 :)
[05:30] <Xenguy> b0r15: which filesystem is on HD #2 ?
[05:30] <alex_spaz> ok
[05:30] <cables> Ironman273, go to System>About Ubuntu and tell me what it says there.
[05:31] <alex_spaz> thank you
[05:31] <shine_down> does anyone know how good ubuntu treats Broadcom Corporation BCM4306  wireless cards?
[05:31] <mister_roboto> cables: you mean make sure windows is "installed" first, right?
[05:31] <alex_spaz> goodbye
[05:31] <SilentDis> alex_spaz, unless you know how to reverse engineer a modern GPU, write kernel level drivers, and then install them, there's no setting you can change.  sorry.
[05:31] <Ironman273> cables: Thank you for your interest in Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
[05:31] <Ironman273>                 - the Dapper Drake - released in June 2006.
[05:31] <b0r15> probably NTFS if it didn't get formated at installation
[05:31] <Xenguy> b0r15: as in , what type of filesystem ?
[05:31] <cables> mister_roboto, EdibleEgg, yep... i meant installed
[05:31] <dick> Anyone here have any ideas how i can get my camra working?
[05:31] <b0r15> NTFS
[05:31] <cables> Ironman273, I have no idea...
[05:31] <SilentDis> arrenlex, well... that too, yeah... but still :)
[05:31] <cables> !webcam | dick
[05:31] <ubotu> dick: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[05:31] <skelter> silentdis: don't have to reverse engineer the gpu...just decompile the windows drivers :s
[05:31] <Xenguy> b0r15: you should be able to mount that: mount -t ntfs /dev/hd__ /mnt
[05:32] <SilentDis> skelter, ahh, good point lol
[05:32] <devin_>  keeping getting mount : /dev/ is not a block device when trying to install ut2003
[05:32] <arrenlex> skelter: Oh, is that all.
[05:32] <skelter> :D
[05:32] <SilentDis> skelter, so much easier now!
[05:32] <dick> its a digital camera
[05:32] <dimeotane> shine_down:  you could use ndiswrapper or the bcm43xx drivers
[05:32] <skelter> the rest is engineering.
[05:32] <skelter> you can offshore that
[05:32] <EdibleEgg> dimeotane, the bcm43xx drivers dont work for BCM4306, i have them
[05:32] <cafuego> EdibleEgg: They do.
[05:32] <dimeotane> not with fwcutter?
[05:32] <EdibleEgg> not for me
[05:32] <cables> EdibleEgg, at some point it should ask you what to do to your filesystem. There's an option for manually editing the partition table, and one for setting a certain percentage for Ubuntu's use and a certain for Windows XP. Make sure you back up your XP stuff first, as things sometimes do go wrong.
[05:32] <SilentDis> skelter, thousands of small korean children banging away on OLPCs to rewrite the drivers for you.  I love it!
[05:32] <EdibleEgg> could be wrong though
[05:32] <cafuego> EdibleEgg: They work on x86 as well as ppc.
[05:33] <Ironman273> cables: Is 6.06 LTS different than what I have?
[05:33] <b0r15> it says only root can do that. Can I extend priveledges with my admin account, or do I have to login with this "root" account?
[05:33] <arrenlex> !sudo | b0r
[05:33] <ubotu> b0r: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[05:33] <shine_down> I am gonna switch to ubuntu from fc6 tommorow and I'l try it then
[05:33] <arrenlex> !sudo | b0ri5
[05:33] <ubotu> b0ri5: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[05:33] <cables> Ironman273, you're running dapper, but somehow it's not seeing edgy. Try using the cd install method
[05:33] <skelter> silentdis: if you have one thousand korean children typing on one thousand computers for one thousand years, eventually they will create the necessary drivers
[05:33] <Ironman273> cables: d'oh, no it says LTS on my about screen
[05:33] <skelter> or die
[05:33] <arrenlex> wtf, I hate two nearly identical names. Screws up my tab completion.
[05:33] <skelter> they might die, too
[05:33] <cables> Ironman273, that's dapper
[05:33] <SilentDis> skelter, but will it be translated to english? O.o
[05:33] <Ironman273> cables: you mean download it, burn it and install it?
[05:33] <Khellendros> http://whatyouseewhenyoudie.ytmnd.com
[05:33] <Xenguy> SilentDis: koreans love shakespeare
[05:33] <dimeotane> skelter.. .be nice
[05:33] <cables> Ironman273, sorry, I'm confused... too many people.
[05:34] <cables> Ironman273, nope.
[05:34] <SilentDis> oh god, i needed the laugh, thanks everyone :D
[05:34] <skelter> dimeotane: they might live? one thousand years is a long time to live, korean child or not
[05:34] <cables> Ironman273, go to the guide here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades
[05:34] <arrenlex> Or rather, korean child especially.
[05:34] <dimeotane> skelter: they might just make you obsolete
[05:34] <EdibleEgg> cables, yeah, when i get to manually partitioning my drives, I make the main ubuntu primary partition and I wanted to make a FAT32 partition to share files between the two OS's, but windows apparently has two other partitions(ones fat16, the other fat32) and it wont let me create another partition for swap or fat32(shared)
[05:34] <cables> Ironman273, try both methods. If the update-manager way doesn't work, use the Alternate CD method.
[05:35] <b0r15> would it be hdb then?
[05:35] <skelter> dimeotane: i have no problem with that, being the patent holder on korean-child-developed drivers
[05:35] <cables> EdibleEgg, you can't go over 4 partitions without an extended one
[05:35] <EdibleEgg> cables, yeah thats what it tells me
[05:35] <Xenguy> b0r15: try (as root): fdisk -l
[05:35] <EdibleEgg> cables, do i extend the swap and the FAT 32 off the ubuntu main?
[05:35] <ALL4N> I'm trying to get pwc (philips webcam driver) for ubuntu, but the only package in the repos is the source..  I've looked at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware for help on how to compile software, but I don't think pwc needs to be compiled in a different manner, it is a kernel module..  anyone?
[05:35] <cables> EdibleEgg, add the fat sharing partition, then add an extended partition and put swap and ubuntu main in there.
[05:35] <Xenguy> b0r15: to clarify your HD's and partitions
[05:35] <SilentDis> skelter, do you have a textual e-mail client per chance?  I could just e-mail you the .deb, it's all of 100k, and as I said, does EVERYTHING for you
[05:36] <shine_down> thanks for the help guys
[05:36] <b0r15> so the -l parameter displays hds\partitions? and how do I login to root?
[05:36] <DemisM> are all the kernel modules that get installed really necessary on my computer? does it install a default set?
[05:36] <EdibleEgg> cables: will i be able to boot ubuntu off that?
[05:36] <skelter> silentdis: ahh...i will just go to another computer and sftp it over here i think
[05:36] <skelter> bit of a pain but w/e
[05:36] <arrenlex> !sudo | b0r15
[05:36] <ubotu> b0r15: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[05:36] <SilentDis> skelter, oh god... duh of the month... or you could boot your livecd, and just get it that way :)
[05:36] <dimeotane> you have quite the sunburn above your shoulders there skelter
[05:36] <cables> EdibleEgg, Ubuntu can use extended partitions, windows can't.
[05:36] <SilentDis> skelter, or, reboot right quick into the old kernel too!
[05:37] <skelter> silentdis: ahh...old kernel there's an idea
[05:37] <b0r15> ok, I got the sudo part..so it lets u do root-level operations.
[05:37] <arrenlex> cables: wtf? What fud is this? Of course windows can see extended partitions. Just not boot from them.
[05:37] <cables> EdibleEgg, be VERY VERY sure that you've backed up your important windows stuff... I've never had a problem with resizing Windows partitions, but the worst can always happen
[05:37] <cables> arrenlex, EdibleEgg, sorry... that's what I meant
[05:37] <SilentDis> skelter, yeah.  just reboot, choose the old kernel, work normally, and pull that file, install.  reboot again, and run envy, and be perfectly set :)
[05:38] <Orfeous> i want to get swedish character support for my samba shares, i have tried many kinds of options for mount-command but no success. i think i give up.
[05:38] <b0r15> found it! says it's hdb1 as SFS filesystem
[05:38] <Orfeous> the strange is that when i browse with konqueror i got the swedish characters.
[05:38] <cables> EdibleEgg, you can't "extend" an already-created partition, so you'll have to make a new extended partition to put all your new other partitions in.
[05:38] <Ironman273> cables: so where can I get the Edge Alternate Install CD?
[05:38] <DemisM> does ubuntu install a default set of kernel modules or does it do some probing and determines what modules are needed by my hardware?
[05:39] <cables> Ironman273, same place you got the regular CD. Just look for alternate.
[05:39] <SilentDis> DemisM, Edgy Eft has done away with custom kernel builds.  they just use -generic now.  one kernel to rule them all :)
[05:39] <cables> !alternate | Ironman273
[05:39] <ubotu> Ironman273: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[05:39] <_R_> how can I disable tor from system services?
[05:39] <EdibleEgg> cables, ok im a little confused now. I've defragged my windows partition so its all nice and neat, then in the partition editor, the first step would be resize windows partition, but what do i do from there?
[05:39] <theilliniguy> Help - trying to uopdate 6.06 to 6.10 and keep getting stopped with 2 errorss reading "Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper-security/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2)"??
[05:40] <cables> SilentDis, I've been curious about how they got that to work... I mean the generic kernel works with smp and everything.
[05:40] <DemisM> SilentDis: how can I find out what modules are really needed by my computer?
[05:40] <Ironman273> cables: but I still need to burn it, no?
[05:40] <cables> EdibleEgg, how many partitions do you already have?

[05:40] <cables> Ironman273, yep
[05:40] <arrenlex> cables: (t explains how things work a bit)
[05:40] <cables> arrenlex, thanks

[05:41] <ubotu> Yum!
[05:41] <SilentDis> DemisM, are you looking to compile a custom kernel?
[05:41] <EdibleEgg> cables, well thats the weird thing, i have the main windows one, but it also shows two other partitions, one a fat16 and one a fat32 that show up as "green" in GParted
[05:41] <Ironman273> cables: what software do I use?

[05:41] <Ironman273> cables, OK, thanks
[05:41] <_R_> some one can help me?
[05:41] <SilentDis> DemisM, having only done it once, a VERY long time ago, i am very much NOT  the person to ask that question.  I remember it took me WEEKS to figure it out lol
[05:41] <EdibleEgg> cables, lol i guess thats it then eh
[05:42] <fiveFS> daily cron jobs are run by root by default right?
[05:42] <cables> !anyone | _R_
[05:42] <ubotu> _R_: 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?
[05:42] <cables> EdibleEgg, Dell, right?
[05:42] <DemisM> SilentDis: yeah..
[05:42] <EdibleEgg> cables yes
[05:42] <cafuego> fiveFS: in /etc/cron.* yes
[05:42] <fiveFS> sweet
[05:42] <fiveFS> thx
[05:42] <cafuego> fiveFS: not in /var/spool/cron
[05:42] <fiveFS> right
[05:42] <b0r15> Still cannot mount dev/hdb1 with SFS filesystem
[05:42] <EdibleEgg> cable, i'm guessing its the hidden backup for xp or something?
[05:43] <Ironman273> cables: what's a better IRC client than Gaim?
[05:43] <SilentDis> DemisM, From what I remember, it's a lot of probing with lspci and the like, looking through /sys to make sure you got everything, then looking up all the module names.  lots and lots of web searching went into that... and now I barely if ever even LOOK at that box anymore.  :P
[05:43] <fiveFS> i know you can specify what user runs the incremental cron jobs, but i figured the biggies were run in root
[05:43] <cables> Ironman273, xchat all the way
[05:43] <_R_> i wanna disable privoxy... how can i do that?

[05:43] <SilentDis> gah!  there's no helpfile for this?
[05:44] <dick> hey all,
[05:44] <arrenlex> hi dick,
[05:44] <cables> EdibleEgg, ok. Bigger one is for recovery, smaller one is diagnostics. I deleted both, but you don't have to. You only have room for one more partition, so just make an extended partition, and put your shared Fat32, Ext3, and swap partitions in there.
[05:44] <SilentDis> _R_, I'm looking it up.  give me a moment :)
[05:44] <Dr_willis> _R_,  disable the service.. set your browser back to not using the proxy
[05:44] <dick> how do i get to my cd drive from terminal?
[05:44] <dick> sorry for all the newb q's
[05:44] <cafuego> dick: cd /media/cdrom0
[05:44] <arrenlex> dick: mount /dev/hdc && cd /media/cdrom
[05:44] <_R_> SilenceGold, ok, thankX
[05:44] <cables> dick, usually /media/cdrom0
[05:44] <dick> thank you
[05:45] <_R_> SilentDis, , ok, thankX
[05:45] <b0r15> so how do I mount the hard drive?
[05:45] <EdibleEgg> cables, ok thanks a lot, been searching everywhere for an answer
[05:45] <SilentDis> _R_, check out what Dr_willis said as well.  that's probably the easiest way.  I remember reading over a howto on privoxy once though.
[05:45] <dick> that did it
[05:45] <dick> thanks all
[05:45] <Xenguy> b0r15: you should be able to mount that: mount -t ntfs /dev/hd__ /mnt
[05:45] <Xenguy> ?
[05:45] <_R_> SilentDis, ok, i'll take a look. thanks
[05:46] <stooges> hi.. i followed the instructions on how to install ati driver, it apparently say i dont have desktop x?
[05:46] <cafuego> dick: note that whilst you're cd'd onto the cd, you can't eject it.
[05:46] <stooges> so basically i'm stuck
[05:46] <b0r15> got this:
[05:46] <b0r15> mount: /dev/hdb already mounted or /mnt busy
[05:46] <theilliniguy> I can't update 6.06 to 6.10 -  I keep getting stopped with 2 errors reading "Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper-security/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2)"
[05:46] <Dr_willis> stooges,  clarify  - what guide did you follow? and whats the exact error?
[05:47] <cables> arrenlex, SilentDis, I read the generic article, and I have to say I disagree: going from -386 to -686 reduced my CPU temperature by 5 degrees centigrade. It seems like -generic has those optimizations, though, because I get the smp and the lower temperature...

[05:47] <cafuego> theilliniguy: dapper isn't 6.10, so you're security source is incorrect.
[05:47] <stooges> i am able to run the ati-driver installation.. but the problem is apparently it kept saying i am unable to run desktop x.. i cant seem to properly install it even though i went through the process.

[05:48] <arrenlex> cables: Yes, -generic is a combination of all options from all kernel subarches
[05:48] <arrenlex> .
[05:48] <cables> arrenlex, so they're modules or something?
[05:48] <theilliniguy> cafuego i dont know what to do - thats the error reported when i follow the ubuntu/help instructions for updating
[05:49] <WhatAmI> DCC SEND "KLJLKJSLKJSFKJSKLJSHFSJKHFFKLHF"
[05:49] <SilentDis> cables, yep.  all autoswitching depending on architecture.  from what I understand, it does increase some load/boot times by tiny fractions of a second, but overall, it's just easier on maint and use.
[05:49] <cafuego> theilliniguy: edit /etc/aot/sources.list and comment out the dapper lines.
[05:49] <cafuego> ooh, shiny
[05:49] <arrenlex> cables: I don't know how the kernel works. It talks to me if I type uname -r, and it says friendly things in the vtis if I type while pressing the sysrq key, and that's all I know about it. :)
[05:49] <nytejade> how do I fix these packages with broken dependencies?
[05:49] <nytejade> Update manager is complaining about them. Should I just reinstall them?
[05:49] <_R_> SilentDis, good, solve it, i really down in the dumps!
[05:49] <fiveiron> hmmm.... universe and multiverse servers down?
[05:50] <cafuego> SilentDis: Note the quit message
[05:50] <steelb> how do i get beryl to let me see the tops of my windows?
[05:50] <macd> fiveiron, what country are you in? and what repo mirror are you using?
[05:50] <cafuego> SilentDis: Services scan for sploit kiddies and auto-k-line.
[05:50] <Malachi> I'm not really a Vista fan, but I do admire their...I dunno, widget panel. Is there a good one for Ubuntu?

[05:51] <Malachi> I know about GDesklets, but it's not doing it for me.
[05:51] <SilentDis> cafuego, ahh :)
[05:51] <arrenlex> Wow. That is a lot of quit messages.

[05:51] <fiveiron> getting lots of 404 errors when i try to apt-get update
[05:51] <macd> fiveiron, they do seem a touch slow, but they are not down
[05:51] <Ironman273_> cables: while I wait for the download, where can I find ATI drivers for Ubuntu?
[05:51] <Malachi> gDesklets seems to be buggy and lacking.

[05:51] <macd> fiveiron, are you behind a webcache? or something similar?
[05:51] <cafuego> theilliniguy: ... as root, of course.
[05:51] <nanotube> hello... what is the best application for taking of screenshots in UBUNTU GNOME?
[05:51] <Xenguy> Malachi: smith will suffice - yada yada
[05:51] <Malachi> ?
[05:52] <cables> nanotube, there's one builtin, or you can use GImp
[05:52] <fiveiron> macd, gah i'm stupid... yes... lol.  thanks
[05:52] <theilliniguy> cafuego - total newb here - how do i get root?
[05:52] <Ironman273_> cables: thank you
[05:52] <cables> tonyyarusso, this is slow business
[05:52] <SilentDis> nanotube, the built in screen shot app (triggered by hitting print screen) usually does pretty well.  did you have a special need?
[05:52] <Stu_2> (what's up with the bans?  am I missing something that is topic-related?)
[05:52] <cafuego> theilliniguy: put 'sudo' in foront of any command :-)
[05:52] <arrenlex> Stu_2: Yeah, they changed the topic to "you have to be this geeky to ride #ubuntu".
[05:52] <theilliniguy> cafuego - aha - i have seen that b4!
[05:52] <tonyyarusso> cables: Yeah....one day maybe I'll have something semi-automatic rather than retyping by sight.  lol.

[05:53] <SilentDis> Stu_2, script kiddies getting the almighty boot of god treatment :)
[05:53] <Stu_2> ahh...
[05:53] <cables> Stu_2, there's a problem with a lot of routers that can be exploited to kick people off IRC channels. Someone did it, and now tonyyarusso is directing them to another channel for help in fixing the problem.
[05:53] <macd> tonyyarusso, time for eggdrop, eh ;)
[05:53] <nanotube> thanks...can you take a screenshot just of part of my screen..? the default one is not suitable for my needs
[05:53] <tonyyarusso> macd: hehe
[05:53] <Stu_2> I see, thanks.  Just curious...
[05:53] <cafuego> macd: It's never a good idea to op an exploitable bot.
[05:54] <macd> cafuego, true, but freenode itself has eggdrops
[05:54] <cables> tonyyarusso, sounds like a pretty easily detectable thing... just look for the DCC bit, and look for anyone who gets disconnected directly after...
[05:54] <cafuego> macd: services, not eggdrops
[05:54] <macd> cafuego, not according to staff, and I do know the difference b/t services and eggdrops.
[05:55] <Hostis> hi anyone awake ?
[05:55] <cafuego> macd: What, nick|chanserv are eggdrops?
[05:55] <dimeotane> pretty slow around suddenly
[05:55] <macd> no those are services, obviously.
[05:55] <cables> dimeotane, there's no netsplit...
[05:55] <SilentDis> Hostis, I'm sleep-helping people... does that count?  O.o :)
[05:55] <kristallpirat> /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found < any hints on that?
[05:55] <macd> anyways, back to ontopic, eh ;)
[05:55] <arrenlex> What's an eggdrop anyway?
[05:55] <Phenax> Hello, what does `uname -m` return on your guys Ubuntu?
[05:55] <theilliniguy> cafuego - list seems blank...?
[05:56] <cafuego> kristallpirat: what did you do?
[05:56] <SilentDis> !eggdrop | arrenlex
[05:56] <Phenax> on your guys x86 ubuntu I add

[05:56] <kristallpirat> try to run truecrypt
[05:56] <arrenlex> I see!
[05:56] <arrenlex> And they are bad?
[05:56] <SilentDis> arrenlex, depends on their use, like any tool :)
[05:56] <cafuego> kristallpirat: Not compiled for your current OS version. Get source, build.
[05:56] <xamox> how can I see what users are connecting via samba?
[05:56] <Hostis> need to ask something. What is the difference of 6.10 server and 6.06 LTS ?
[05:57] <kitche> Hostis: 6.10 is upto date
[05:57] <cafuego> arrenlex: They've been known to have exploits, which is unfortunate if they have op status on a channel.
[05:57] <kitche> Hostis: for versions
[05:57] <macd> Hostis, LTS is considered to be more stable, and is supported long term, also commercially by canonical.
[05:57] <SilentDis> Hostis, 6.06 is an LTS (long term support) release, and will be supported for... 5 years I think on servers.  6.10 is the normal release schedule, and won't have as long of a support life
[05:57] <joebob777as7> I'm a newb to linux and I'm using suse and I really like it but I hear such great things about ubuntu so i installed feisty and it looks sweet and i got it up and running and my video drivers installed but it just seems that apt and synaptic pale in comparison to smart and yast... is it just me? do i need to play around with it more? what are your thoughts?
[05:58] <Hostis> but if i want to run a counter strike server. What should i use ?
[05:58] <arrenlex> joebob777as7: Wow... what did punctuation ever do to you?
[05:58] <Xenguy> joebob777as7: yeah, I think that is retarded
[05:58] <nanotube> is there some similar application to snagit screenshot taker in ubuntu?
[05:58] <cafuego> joebob777as7: it's just you. ;-)
[05:58] <Khellendros> http://whatyouseewhenyoudie.ytmnd.com
[05:58] <macd> Hostis, anytime you need something for use in a"production" enviornment 6.06.01LTS is the way to go.
[05:58] <cafuego> nanotube: apps -> accessories -> screenshot
[05:58] <macd> nanotube, do you want a screenshot of just your active window?
[05:59] <cafuego> nanotube: Alternatively, `import' or `gimp'.
[05:59] <kidbuntu> nid help. pictures won't load up when i search in google image
[05:59] <joebob777as7> wow i didn't know we needed to use proper grammer here... my fiance is nagging me to come cuddle with her, so i'm typing from the hip as fast as possible
[05:59] <Xenguy> joebob777as7: go :-)
[05:59] <nanotube> no I need something which takes screenshot of just part of my screen...
[05:59] <dimeotane> Khellendros: hah... youre on acid
[05:59] <kidbuntu> need help. pictures won't load up when i search in google image
[06:00] <cafuego> dimeotane: Khellendros spamming?
[06:00] <macd> nanotube, take your screenshot using printscreen, then crop it with the gimp.
[06:00] <dimeotane> reminds me of a kitchy 3d postcard
[06:00] <joebob777as7> wow thanks for nothing... seems like the suse guys are nicer anyway.
[06:00] <Cyde> Which version of the kernel is on the 6.10 Live CD?
[06:00] <Xenguy> joebob777as7: good riddance
[06:00] <nanotube> the default screenshot application i=does not meet my needs
[06:00] <kidbuntu> Cyde?
[06:00] <macd> nanotube, read above^^
[06:00] <kidbuntu> Cyde: you talking to me?
[06:00] <cafuego> nanotube: gimp -> file -> aquire -> screenshot
[06:00] <Dr_willis> joebob777as7,  it pays to read/learn apt very well.
[06:01] <dimeotane> joebob777as7: you tell em... a little competition is healthy
[06:01] <Ru-ku> Hey, does anyone know where the application folders are kept?
[06:01] <Cyde> kidbuntu: I suppose so .. I was just asking the channel.
[06:01] <nanotube> macd: I knoe that...by my college ( from windows world ) is not able to it and he said that in windows  BLA BLA :-))
[06:01] <Xenguy> joebob777as7: basically your analysis is flawed IMHO
[06:01] <dimeotane> suse vs ubuntu... bringiton
[06:01] <macd> nanotube, screenshots are the same in gnome and windows,
[06:01] <theilliniguy> cafuego trying to edit that file - command line brings this up and its a blank file - File: /var/tmp/sources.list.XXHBZAxx
[06:01] <zero88> HELP! would anyone here know why i am not able to send ANY packets over my wireless ?? i am able to recieve packets but i canot send a one.please help!
[06:01] <cafuego> Invariable people prefer what they're used to.
[06:01] <macd> indeed
[06:01] <Cyde> Anyone know which version of the kernel is on the 6.10 Live CD?
[06:02] <nanotube> macd: he used http://www.softwarecasa.com/pprod/212401dd.htm?gclid=CJ3sr4fbw4oCFSnKggodDGiXlw
[06:02] <arrenlex> theilliniguy: What are you trying to do?
[06:02] <cafuego> Cyde: 2.6.17 I think
[06:02] <LordKeiden> Cyde, 2.6.17
[06:02] <macd> nanotube, well, how hard is it really? to just hit print screen and crop it in gimp?
[06:02] <Cyde> Crap, I need 2.6.18 :-/
[06:02] <kristallpirat> cafuego: when I try to build I get : "Error: Kernel source code is incomplete - drivers/md/dm.h not found."
[06:02] <Dr_willis> >hic<
[06:03] <macd> kristallpirat, you need to install the kernel-dev package
[06:03] <cafuego> kristallpirat: Did you install the prerequisite kernel-headers package?
[06:03] <Cyde> (My mobo is new, and the drivers for the Jmicron SATA and Marvell Ethernet aren't in the 2.6.17 kernel)
[06:03] <Cyde> So ... any ideas?
[06:03] <Xenguy> Dr_willis: to the parefect operating system!
[06:03] <cafuego> Cyde: which marvell ethernet?
[06:03] <Cyde> Do I have to wait for another Ubuntu release, or can I get a Live CD with an updated kernel somehow?
[06:03] <theilliniguy> arrenlex - truying to ujpdate 6.06 to 6.10 - when it tires I get this error twice: "Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper-security/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2)"
[06:03] <nanotube> macd: no its not hard but I said that windows is crap and that in linux you have something similar also...now I have to proove it :-))
[06:03] <Dr_willis> >hic< >hic<
[06:03] <Cyde> cafuego: Marvel 88E8056 PICe
[06:03] <Ru-ku> Anyone???
[06:03] <Cyde> The mobo is the GA-965P-S3
[06:03] <cafuego> Hmmyes.
[06:04] <cafuego> Cyde: That's why i bought a GA-945-S3 ;-)
[06:04] <Cyde> cafuego: Heh, yes, hindsight is 20/20 :-/
[06:04] <cafuego> Cyde: You could try a 7.04 - but note it's not stable - yet.
[06:05] <Cyde> cafuego: A 7.04 Live CD?
[06:05] <cafuego> Cyde: Don't have 'em yet?
[06:05] <cafuego> Cyde: You could customise the edgy cd with the feisty ekrnel I suppose
[06:05] <Cyde> Hrm, what's unstable about it?  Any reason I couldn't just use it to install and then downgrade other stuff as necessary?
[06:05] <kidbuntu> when i'm searching images in google, pictures won't load. but my load images is enabled.
[06:05] <Cyde> cafuego: Hrmm ... now is there any way to do that in Windows ..
[06:06] <cafuego> Cyde: it's still a bit rough around the edges - not actively crashy (anymore)
[06:06] <Cyde> cafuego: Heh, I just need whatever will boot and let me install.
[06:06] <Mars2686> hello
[06:06] <arrenlex> !hi | Mars2686
[06:06] <ubotu> Mars2686: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[06:07] <Cyde> cafuego: This is it, right?  http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/herd4?highlight=%287.04%29
[06:07] <Mars2686> Hi... this is my first time ever in a IRC :D
[06:07] <cafuego> Cyde: If you're not completely new to linux, feisty (provided it speaks to the 88E8056) will probably be fine.
[06:07] <arrenlex> Mars2686: Ah! An IRC virgin, eh.
[06:07] <ubuntuuuuuuu> yeah hey can some one tell me if there is an xorg-config for ubuntu and how i can get it.  I use linux and when i set up my xorg.conf i used xorg-conf but this doesnt appear to be a valid command.  can some one pleaes help.  thanks
[06:07] <cafuego> Cyde: yup
[06:07] <cafuego> ubuntuuuuuuu: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
[06:07] <Cyde> cafuego: Nope, I'm not new.
[06:08] <nn531> whats the best program to burn an image to a cd?
[06:08] <Cyde> cafuego: Alright, I'll try this then.
[06:08] <ubuntuuuuuuu> cafuego: thank you
[06:08] <arrenlex> !burn | nn531
[06:08] <ubotu> nn531: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, serpentine, graveman Nautilus cd burner (Gnome), gtoaster, xcdroast, cdrecord (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[06:08] <arrenlex> nn531: Or you can just use "dd if=file.iso of=/dev/hdc"
[06:08] <Cyde> Nero works well on Windows FWIW
[06:08] <cafuego> Cyde: disclaimer: if it goes horribly wrong, this conversation never took place ;-)
[06:08] <kristallpirat> seems I had the wrong headers installed
[06:08] <Cyde> cafuego: I don't have anything to lose.
[06:08] <desp_> morning all
[06:08] <Cyde> cafuego: I have two HDs, one is running Windows, the other is blank.  I'm going to install on the blank.
[06:08] <Mars2686> is there a channel for ppc ubuntu?
[06:08] <cafuego> Cyde: Ah, easy then
[06:08] <kristallpirat> will took some minutes to change that
[06:08] <desp_> anyone know how can i change my ident with ident server ident2 ?
[06:09] <Cyde> cafuego: I can afford to screw around with this alpha until the final version is released in April or whatever.
[06:09] <macd> cafuego, he could also use reconstructor
[06:09] <Ru-ku> Problem: I installed something with Wine, went to remove it, but the link in the Applications menu has stayed, and I can't get rid of it through Alacarte
[06:10] <Cyde> cafuego: Just one thing I haven't decided yet ... what to do with the bootloader and how to decide which HD to boot from.
[06:11] <desp_> anyone know how can i change my ident with ident server ident2 ?
[06:11] <cafuego> Cyde: grub sucks far less than ntldr.exe
[06:12] <Cyde> cafuego: I've heard.  I really don't want to risk messing up my Windows though.  Linux is for playing ... Windows is for Supreme Commander.  Can't mess that up.
[06:12] <Cyde> cafuego: Would I have to install grub on the Windows HD, or can I somehow make the Linux HD the primary one and just leave grub on that?
[06:12] <cafuego> Cyde: it won't. At worst, you fdisk /mbr and windows boots as per normal.
[06:13] <cafuego> Cyde: grub goes on the windows HD, but *not* the windows partition.
[06:13] <Cyde> I only have one partition?
[06:13] <Cyde> Just C:
[06:13] <cafuego> Cyde: Yes, but there's the MBR, which is not on a partition.
[06:13] <Cyde> Ah, k
[06:15] <zeddock> hello all!
[06:15] <cafuego> Cyde: Ubuntu will add Windows to the boot menu, all you need to do is then edit the grub cfg to make it default into windows.
[06:15] <arrenlex> !hi | zeddock
[06:15] <ubotu> zeddock: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[06:15] <pwuertz> hi, does anyone know who is responsible for adding modules to the blacklist?
[06:16] <[UPG] Pritchard> Hi guys.
[06:16] <Cyde> cafuego: Sounds good.
[06:16] <andres_> does anyone use linux as their desktop os
[06:16] <Dr_willis> PwcrLinux,  basicially You are.. :) add the ones you want blacklisted...
[06:16] <arrenlex> andres_: I assume a lot of people on #ubuntu do.
[06:16] <Cyde> andres_: Methinks you've come to the right place to ask that question.
[06:16] <Dr_willis> PwcrLinux,  or are you refering to the 'default' blacklist?
[06:16] <[UPG] Pritchard> ^_^;; I need help with Gaim if you could give it.  Getting strange bug I can't find the answer to
[06:16] <fr500_home> woops wrong window :p
[06:16] <pwuertz> Dr_willis: yes... I'm refering to the default blacklist
[06:17] <tritium> pwuertz: why do you ask?
[06:17] <arrenlex> !ask | [UPG] Pritchard
[06:17] <ubotu> [UPG] Pritchard: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:17] <Alonea> Does anyone know how to make my computer shut down or restart without having to use the command prompt? If i use the log out button the screen goes black and stays on. acpi=force or off does not solve it.
[06:17] <fr500_home> arrenlex, yeah, mistake thought i was on #cisco
[06:17] <[UPG] Pritchard> Hahah.  Okie.  Well anyways, Gaim isn't showing up a system tray icon ever since I changed the "Lock to Panel" settings in my tray.
[06:17] <Cyde> Alonea: You could just bind a button to shutdown -h now ... y'know, the same thing you do from the command line.
[06:18] <pwuertz> tritium, Dr_willis, there is a broken kernel module that crashes the system at boot time on feisty
[06:18] <[UPG] Pritchard> I quit gaim and reset the options to system tray on/off a couple times and even relocked myt ray.  Still nothing.
[06:18] <Alonea> Cyde: How do I do that? and how would I bind a button to restart?
[06:18] <tritium> pwuertz: wrong channel.  -> #ubuntu+1 for feisty
[06:18] <Dr_willis> pwuertz,  check in #ubuntu+1 thats the feisty support channel.
[06:18] <Dr_willis> file a bug report also i guess
[06:18] <Cyde> Alonea: Try right-clicking on an existing button and going into properties or something ... all each button is really doing is launching a certain command.  Hell, even in Windows, same deal.
[06:19] <pwuertz> tritium, Dr_willis, its a known bug... I already filed a bug report... its on "high"... but so far nobody cared for blacklisting the module yet
[06:19] <Alonea> Cyde: Ok, is there a way I can remove the logout button from my menu?
[06:19] <tritium> pwuertz: the module needs fixing, rather than blacklisting, it sounds like.
[06:20] <pwuertz> tritium, Dr_willis, since I never got any answers at #ubuntu+1 for this question I tried here
[06:20] <tritium> pwuertz: this is not the right channel
[06:20] <pwuertz> tritium: the question was... "who is responsible for the default blacklist"
[06:21] <Cyde> Alonea: What options are in the right-click menu?  There's no remove or delete or something?
[06:21] <tritium> In order to solve a feisty problem...yeah, I remember.
[06:21] <pwuertz> tritium: I agree.. but as long as the module is not fixed yet... there is no reason for letting feisty crash on systems with that chipset
[06:21] <Alonea> Well, I have the edit menu and I can make a button, but the "Actions" list isn't on there
[06:21] <Cyde> Alonea: GUIs generally present all the options available to you (versus the command-line, which requires you to be able to recall commands and such).  You should find it somewhere ... just look around, see what you can see.
[06:21] <Cyde> Alonea: KDE or Gnome?
[06:22] <Alonea> Cyde: KDE
[06:22] <Cyde> Alonea: There's some sort of Customize Menu control panel or somesuch you need to launch.
[06:22] <verve> hey guys.. how exactly would one get a Linksys WUSB54GC working in Ubuntu?
[06:22] <Cyde> Alonea: It'll be somewhere under preferences or what not.
[06:22] <verve> it's a USB wifi adapter
[06:22] <[UPG] Pritchard> Silly me.
[06:22] <[UPG] Pritchard> I had to add the notification area onto the system tray :D
[06:23] <[UPG] Pritchard> I removed it thinking it was a seperator taking up my space.   ^_^;; Well that one's solved.  See ya guys.
[06:23] <Cyde> Alonea: Just look around in your configuration menus and such until you find something that looks appropriate .. I dont' remember the exact name, but I know it's there because I've used it before.
[06:23] <Alonea> Cyde: Ok, shall look, now is there a command like the shutdown -h now that will instead just restart the computer?
[06:23] <arrenlex> Cyde: "look around in your configuration" is super bad advice to give for KDE. xD
[06:24] <Cyde> Alonea: reboot
[06:24] <IceGuest_7> Awsome!
[06:24] <IceGuest_7> :D
[06:24] <Cyde> Alonea: Could be sudo reboot, depending.
[06:24] <Cyde> .. what user group do you have to be in to be able to tell the system to turn off, anyway?
[06:24] <tritium> Cyde: admin
[06:24] <Cyde> That's a user group?
[06:25] <Cyde> Huh
[06:25] <Phlosten> the 'i've got a big hammer so turn off' group
[06:25] <Cyde> I guess wheel is something else entirely.
[06:25] <JunK-Y> when im running apt-get upgrade, im always seeing: The following packages have been kept back:, how can i can stop that>?
[06:25] <arrenlex> JunK-Y: apt-get dist-upgrade
[06:25] <IceGuest_7> hey all, could someone help me with a question? I seem to have downloaded LIVE CD instead of the real version of Ubuntu... what gives?
[06:25] <Cyde> IceGuest_7: The LiveCDs are able to install.
[06:25] <tritium> IceGuest_7: you can install from the LiveCD
[06:25] <JunK-Y> arrenlex: alerady ran that, still the same.
[06:25] <arrenlex> IceGuest_7: The liveCD also allows you to install. Click the install button on the desktop
[06:26] <Cyde> IceGuest_7: There should be an Install shortcut on the desktop in the liveCD.
[06:26] <Phlosten> IceGuest_7: note the 'Install' icon on the desktop
[06:26] <arrenlex> JunK-Y: What happens if you run apt-get install <one of those packages>?
[06:26] <IceGuest_7> AH!!! alright!! that's it! hah
[06:26] <Cyde> arrenlex: I imagine it'd still be held back.
[06:26] <arrenlex> Cyde: Well yes. But it would print a detailed reason.
[06:26] <IceGuest_7> alright, the other thing is that I've already partitioned my hard drive to have an two ext3 partitions and one "linux-swap" partition
[06:27] <IceGuest_7> I don't understand how to install to those partitions
[06:27] <JunK-Y> arrenlex: works, thx dude.
[06:27] <tritium> IceGuest_7: choose the "manual" partitioning method
[06:27] <Phlosten> IceGuest_7: the install process will ask you to choose where to install it
[06:27] <Cyde> IceGuest_7: So you're going / /home and /swap ?
[06:27] <IceGuest_7> I'm not sure. I'm just one of those average dumb computer users :D
[06:28] <verve> IceGuest_7, hopefully you're not looking for EXE files to run on Ubuntu
[06:28] <verve> heh
[06:28] <IceGuest_7> I saw a video of someone dual booting,... so I decided to partition my hard drive
[06:28] <kristallpirat> cafuego: I installed the sources for the kernel, now it seems to work
[06:28] <IceGuest_7> I've already partitioned it for dual boot, I just don't know where to install the kernel, I guess...
[06:28] <cafuego> sorry, what>
[06:28] <tritium> IceGuest_7: for future reference, you don't have to pre-partition
[06:28] <verve> i remembe reading webpages about dual booting.. now we watch videos of it
[06:28] <arrenlex> Bye all!
[06:29] <cafuego> kristallpirat: cool ;-)
[06:29] <verve> wow
[06:29] <verve> heh
[06:29] <verve> remember*
[06:29] <IceGuest_7> which one, on the linux swap or on the ext3?
[06:29] <LiENUS> I work with someone in new york doing software design and what not is there some form of online meeting software that does voice, whiteboard file transfer and stuff like that that works under ubuntu and windows?
[06:29] <exs> Should I use hard drive encryption so that my laptop is more secure for things like online shopping?
[06:29] <Cyde> IceGuest_7: It's probably easiest to just re-partition during the Ubuntu install process.  It should be able to setup multiple partitions for you.
[06:29] <Cyde> IceGuest_7: If the partitions are empty anyway, you aren't losing anything.
[06:29] <LiENUS> we need to be able to have online meetings he only comes down to my end of the country once a year
[06:29] <verve> exs, just cut the ethernet cable
[06:29] <verve> very secure
[06:29] <exs> verve:  then I cant use the internet
[06:30] <Cyde> exs: HD encryption is only useful for physical security, e.g. if your laptop is stolen.
[06:30] <IceGuest_7> Cyde, I already have information on my laptop in Windows... I don't want to loose that information.
[06:30] <LiENUS> ExM3th1x,  thats the point
[06:30] <Cyde> exs: It has nothing to do with protecting you from online threats.
[06:30] <yell0w> verve, don't even need to cut it, just yank it out =))
[06:30] <verve> exs, well.. you can't win all the time
[06:30] <verve> :P
[06:30] <IceGuest_7> Though, I have already backed it up :D
[06:30] <exs> Cyde:  what can I d to prevent online hacking etc?
[06:30] <verve> yell0w, shh, i'm BOFHing out
[06:30] <Cyde> IceGuest_7: So you have one HD, and multiple partitions?  And presumably one partition is NTFS and that's where Windows is?
[06:30] <cafuego> LiENUS: gnomemeeting (now ekiga) supposedly supports that NetMeeting stuff
[06:30] <yell0w> hehe
[06:30] <IceGuest_7> Cyde, yes
[06:30] <yell0w> ;)
[06:30] <Cyde> exs: Well, let's see ... don't install unknown programs, use Firefox instead of Internet Explorer, use a firewall, etc. ...
[06:30] <LiENUS> cafuego, is there a windows client since netmeeting is depreciated ?
[06:31] <exs> Cyde:  im using ubuntu
[06:31] <cafuego> LiENUS: no idea
[06:31] <verve> Cyde, i think using Firefox instead of IE in Ubuntu kinda goes without saying
[06:31] <Cyde> IceGuest_7: During the Ubuntu install process have it setup partitions, and make sure not to touch the Windows one.
[06:31] <Cyde> verve: you never know ... I've seen people doing crazier things with wine.
[06:31] <verve> hah
[06:31] <LiENUS> well i have to have something that works under windows...
[06:31] <LiENUS> hes a graphics designer so linux is pretty much out of the question
[06:31] <Cyde> exs: Okay, well are all of your user account passwords secure?  You know, at least 10 characters, a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and punctuation?
[06:32] <exs> Cyde:  what is a good linux firewall for in use with ubuntu?
[06:32] <IceGuest_7> Cyde, will the windows one already say NTFS File System or will I have to remember how large that partition is?
[06:32] <verve> 'dude! i'm running amigaos in linux, which is running through an msdos partition in windows, which is running through my freebsd box running wine!'
[06:32] <Cyde> exs: Linux already comes with a firewall by default, you should have iptables running or somesuch.
[06:32] <fr500_home> exs, try firestarter for home users
[06:32] <Cyde> IceGuest_7: It should identify it.
[06:32] <LiENUS> verbose, wine doesnt support loadlin, nice try
[06:32] <yell0w> @_@ verve
[06:32] <Cyde> exs: Also, make sure that root cannot log in remotely.
[06:32] <exs> i dont use ip tables
[06:32] <LiENUS> err verve  not verbose
[06:32] <Cyde> exs: Nix remote login for all standard user account names.
[06:32] <verve> how would that affect wine?
[06:32] <verve> freebsd would be running wine
[06:33] <verve> wine would be running windows
[06:33] <verve> windows would be loading linux
[06:33] <fr500_home> exs, iptables is the userspace firewall for linux by default, firestarter is a gui for it
[06:33] <tritium> !enter > verve
[06:33] <Cyde> exs: If you're really paranoid, install security software like snort and denyhosts.
[06:33] <verve> !enter > tritium
[06:33] <IceGuest_7> Cyde, so the partitions that I have already pre-formatted don't matter and it will go ahead and do that anyway? Or do I already need to go ahead and take my partitions down?
[06:33] <exs> ok, its just i am doing important online shopping (over 500 pounds)
[06:33] <fr500_home> i have a lot of fun seen hackers try to hack my workstation via vnc with windoze commands
[06:33] <LiENUS> verve, you wouldnt be able to run loadlin to boot linux
[06:33] <Cyde> IceGuest_7: You're going to get into a partition manager like fdisk or what not during the install process.  Delete all of the ext3 partitions you already made and use the combined new free space to setup new partitions for Ubuntu.  Don't you dare touch the NTFS partition.
[06:33] <verve> why not!?
[06:34] <tritium> verve: that was a warning
[06:34] <verve> tritium, wow, i'm all broken up over it
[06:34] <verve> :`(
[06:34] <fr500_home> verve, because wine is not an emulator
[06:34] <IceGuest_7> mind if I already try to do that while I'm still online?
[06:34] <LiENUS> verve,  wine doesnt run windows
[06:34] <LiENUS> its a compatibility layer with windows
[06:34] <fr500_home> what is that !enter thing?
[06:35] <Cyde> Using virtualization you could run Windows though, right?
[06:35] <fr500_home> cyde of course
[06:35] <[UPG] Pritchard> Any way to open a folder in Ubuntu via system tray?
[06:35] <LiENUS> Cyde,  yes but virtualization is nothing like wine
[06:35] <Cyde> I've never done virtualization ... it sounds cool, but rather intimidating.
[06:35] <[UPG] Pritchard> I'd like to make a new icon on the tray that opens up a folder location of mine.
[06:35] <fr500_home> [UPG] Pritchard, yeah, create a launcher with nautilus /home/username/path-to-folder
[06:35] <Cyde> Could you, uh, virtualize Linux from within Linux?  At least that's free (versus having to own a virtualizable copy of Windows).
[06:35] <fr500_home> or so
[06:35] <wallaceJ> im running ubuntu in parrallels right now
[06:35] <CaptainMorgan> anyone familiar with InstallShield? Im not sure why it is now on my system, after installing things related to programming, Ie Java, JVM, jdk, javac, DDD, etc... mainly tools.. do I need the folder in my home directory labelled InstallShield?
[06:36] <fr500_home> Cyde, you can virtualize pretty much anything that can run on an x86 system
[06:36] <LiENUS> Cyde,  yes that configuration is quite common and there are multiple ways to do it
[06:36] <fr500_home> CaptainMorgan, installed with wine?
[06:36] <yell0w> fr500_home, requires hardware with VT support ?
[06:36] <Cyde> So with virtualization you basically open up a window and the OS in there starts from the boot screen and completely loads as if it was running on its own PC?
[06:36] <Alonea> Anyone know how to customize the Actions part of the start menu thing?
[06:36] <fr500_home> LiENUS, you could use XEN to virtualize and achive close to the real thing performance
[06:37] <CaptainMorgan> nah fr500_home,
[06:37] <[UPG] Pritchard> @fr500_home:  Thank you so much!  This will make programming much easier :D
[06:37] <LiENUS> fr500_home, you could also use qemu or vmware or uml
[06:37] <fr500_home> yell0w, for better performance it does
[06:37] <CaptainMorgan> fr500_home, do you know how I can make netbeans appear in the system menu? under programming? right now it's just on my desktop
[06:37] <yell0w> fr500_home, so i can do w/o it ?
[06:37] <LiENUS> Cyde, more or less
[06:38] <Cyde> Man, I need to go to a LUG meeting or something.  There's lots of cool stuff I dunno if I'll ever be able to try out on my own, but I at least want to see it running.
[06:38] <fr500_home> yell0w, of course, you can use qemu or vmware player
[06:38] <LiENUS> i use virtualization to do my homework that requires windows xp
[06:38] <Cyde> However, I went to a DCLUG meeting and it was just a guy from a corporation giving a talk about their proprietary HD racks.
[06:38] <fr500_home> vmware player is free
[06:38] <Phlosten> vmware server is free too
[06:38] <fr500_home> yell0w, you can download lots of vmware virtual appliances ready to use
[06:38] <fr500_home> yah
[06:38] <gunny01> is there a way to change the message when i ssh into my ubuntu box
[06:39] <yell0w> which one is better/ faster , xen or vmware  or qemu ?
[06:39] <LiENUS> yell0w,  qemu is open source
[06:39] <LiENUS> xen is fastest and open source
[06:39] <cowl> gunny01, do you mean /etc/motd?
[06:39] <Phlosten> xen takes a little more to setup
[06:39] <LiENUS> but xen doesnt work with every os unless you have vt extensions
[06:39] <fr500_home> yell0w, xen may be faster if the oses support the features  it requieres and the processor has the vt thing
[06:39] <Khellendros> http://whatyouseewhenyoudie.ytmnd.com
[06:39] <Khellendros> http://whatyouseewhenyoudie.ytmnd.com
[06:39] <LiENUS> vmware works with more operating systems than qemu or xen and is faster than qemu
[06:39] <monzie> yeah
[06:40] <LiENUS> so true Khem
[06:40] <gunny01> cowl: possiblely. I want to change the The programs included with ubuntu...
[06:40] <LiENUS> oh khellendros left
[06:40] <LiENUS> aww
[06:40] <zero88> who knows of a good iso burner in the respitories?
[06:40] <fr500_home> zero88, brasero
[06:41] <zero88> fr500_home thanks
[06:41] <Cyde> Has anyone put any thought into combining multiple download protocols?  For instance, I'm downloading Feisty right now over http, but it's only going at 100KBps.  What if I could also be running BitTorrent at the same time, and they were saving to the same file?  It sort of makes sense to combine multiple download sources ... you'll get done faster that way.  But can it be done?
[06:41] <yell0w> thanks LiENUS & fr500_home
[06:41] <yell0w> LiENUS, does xen support ubuntu as host ?
[06:41] <fr500_home> Cyde, bittorrent alone does over 800kB/s on ubuntu torrents
[06:41] <LiENUS> Cyde, they do that
[06:42] <LiENUS> Cyde, ik dont know if ubuntu supports it but debian has a way to
[06:42] <LiENUS> but bittorrent effectively does it
[06:42] <Cyde> fr500_home: I'm on one of those crappy asymmetric cable connections.
[06:42] <cafuego> yell0w: Yes, xen supports ubuntu as host.
[06:42] <fr500_home> Cyde, me too!
[06:42] <Cyde> So there's lots of generous seeds on the Ubuntu torrents?
[06:43] <fr500_home> Cyde, if you are over 10kbps upstream. it'll download fine
[06:43] <cafuego> Cyde: you're welcome
[06:43] <yell0w> cafuego, w/o VT hardware ?
[06:43] <ubuntu> ke honda
[06:43] <cafuego> yell0w: runs fine on my old amd
[06:43] <yell0w> hehe, time to try out xen then
[06:43] <ubuntu> ke honda kamaradas no se acuerdan de mi
[06:43] <LiENUS> ekiga doesnt seem to have a whiteboard
[06:44] <yell0w> cafuego, does it require lots of resources ?
[06:44] <LiENUS> is there any online meeting software for linux that supports things like whiteboard and easy file transfer?
[06:44] <ubuntu> speak spanish
[06:44] <LiENUS> that supports windows as well...
[06:44] <cafuego> !es > ubuntu
[06:44] <ubuntu> whai
[06:44] <IceGuest_7> my laptop is getting really freakin' hot right now while I'm trying to install linux
[06:44] <IceGuest_7> is there going to be a problem?
[06:44] <cafuego> yell0w: not really, just depends on what you want to run in 'em and how many you want to run.
[06:45] <ubuntu> hey people hack this machine 172.16.0.5
[06:45] <cafuego> IceGuest_7: unpacking eats cpu, it'll settle when install is done
[06:45] <ubuntu> what
[06:45] <Cyde> Someone want to get that troll ..
[06:46] <cafuego> ubuntu: Nobody wants to ahck that amchine. Did you have an actual question?
[06:46] <yell0w> cafuego, ok, should be small mem/cpu requirements just for one os like say win xp right ?
[06:46] <cafuego> yell0w: to be honst, for winxp I'd use vmware
[06:46] <cafuego> *do* in fact
[06:46] <yell0w> heh
[06:47] <ubuntu> jajajaj no que muy cabrones
[06:47] <IceGuest_7> Cyde, did you call me a troll or someone else?
[06:47] <ubuntu> see  you lerer
[06:47] <Cyde> IceGuest_7: No, not you.
[06:47] <cafuego> IceGuest_7: ubuntu
[06:47] <IceGuest_7> oh, ok
[06:47] <IceGuest_7> lol
[06:47] <yell0w> yes you IceGuest_7
[06:47] <coder> hello there, i am trying to upgrade from dapper to edgy.. i used the method given on the ubuntu website, the distribution ubgrade program took like 3 hrs downloading stuff.. now it seems to be hung at
[06:47] <cafuego> IceGuest_7: if you felt like it was you, stop trolling ;-)
[06:47] <Cyde> IceGuest_7: And no, I don't particularly forecast a problem ..
[06:47] <yell0w> lol
[06:48] <coder> fetching and installing the upgrades, sorry multi lines was unintentional..  is this normal?  nothing is going on in terminal, it l ooks hung ><   im afraid it broke and it won't boot ><
[06:48] <fiveiron> anyone using procmail to deliver mail to a Maildir?
[06:49] <LiENUS> is there any online meeting software for linux that supports things like whiteboard and easy file transfer that supports windows?
[06:49] <coder> is ther any advice or me?
[06:49] <IceGuest_7> Cyde, I'm at the partitioning screen. I have just deleted those three partitions and have selected the "Unallocated" space. I left the NTFS file system untouched... Good?
[06:49] <bedake> could someone tell me what is needed to get softsubs working in mplayer? or any other media player if its more conveniant
[06:49] <Cyde> IceGuest_7: that sounds good, though I'd wait for confirmation from at least one other person in this channel before continuing.
[06:49] <echosyp> is that cock still here that got me banned earlier
[06:50] <IceGuest_7> Anyone else have any ideas?
[06:50] <Cyde> He's trying to make sure he doesn't trash his Windows install.
[06:50] <cile> I NEED DRIVERS FOR TV CARD MATCH
[06:50] <cile> PLS
[06:50] <coder> i ran gksu "update-manager -c", and the last line that i see at the console-console is   authenticate '/tmp/tmpRSbwnm/edgy.tar.gz' against '/tmp/tmpRSbwnm/edgy.tar.gz.gpg'
[06:50] <IceGuest_7> I have three operations pending because I deleted those three pre-made partitions and I have selected the unallocated space now...
[06:51] <IceGuest_7> Cyde, I'm going to go ahead with it.
[06:51] <cafuego> echosyp: please mind your language
[06:51] <Cyde> Someone want to double-check me on this and make sure this is correct?
[06:51] <echosyp> cock is an animal
[06:51] <dougb> i'm getting farther
[06:51] <Cyde> Well, technically, it is animalian ... though it is just part of an animal.
[06:51] <KyRNeL> hello
[06:51] <KyRNeL> im new on ubuntu
[06:51] <KyRNeL> ;)
[06:51] <coder> is there an ubuntu support channel?
[06:52] <rojo^> I'm an animal, too.  Does that mean I'm a cock?
[06:52] <Cyde> coder: This is it.
[06:52] <coder> oh..
[06:52] <Cyde> rojo^: My arm is human, but it's not *a* human ... surely you see the distinction there.
[06:52] <IceGuest_7> lol, in the instructions down at the bottom... it says to create a root partition and a swap partition...
[06:52] <rojo^> IceGuest_7: the biggest thing to worry about will be adding an entry to your /boot/grub/menu.lst for Windows after Ubuntu is installed
[06:52] <Ironman273> Cyde: I think he meant like a rooster
[06:52] <sexcopter> Cyde, IceGuest_7: I'm no expert, but what were the 3 other partitions you are about to wipe?
[06:53] <zero88> has anyone used Zone ALarm from Zone Labs for windows?
[06:53] <Cyde> IceGuest_7: Just some blank partitions he had manually made outside of the install process to try to get ready for Linux.
[06:53] <cile> I NEED DRIVERS FOR TV TUNER CARD MATCH CAN SOMEBODY HELP
[06:53] <echosyp> what i can't say cock, but this douche bag is named sexcopter
[06:53] <cile> PLEASE
[06:53] <echosyp> wtf is with that
[06:53] <KyRNeL> eggy bots
[06:53] <coder> is there any way to check to see if the distribution upgrade hung up, and to fix it if it did?
[06:53] <echosyp> your rules are flawed
[06:53] <zero88> whats the best firewall for linux?
[06:53] <IceGuest_7> sexcopter, I am deleting the three pre-made partitions that I did with Gparted. I just now found out there is a partitioning program on Ubuntu folling the install
[06:53] <tonyyarusso> echosyp: Possibly because they're less annoying about it.
[06:53] <Cyde> IceGuest_7: And yeah, you are going to need to create the appropriate partitions from the unallocated space now.
[06:54] <eason> Why don't you fight about it?
[06:54] <IceGuest_7> Cyde, alright
[06:54] <sexcopter> Cyde. IceGuest_7: so are they mounted now (guessing you're in a livecd environment)
[06:54] <CientificoLoco> how do I remove package that I install with a .deb packe?
[06:54] <KyRNeL> zeembo go to distowatch.org
[06:54] <coder> is there a ubuntu support channel for distribution upgrades from dapper to edgy?
[06:54] <sexcopter> coder: think this is it!
[06:55] <KyRNeL> coder go to the forum
[06:55] <sexcopter> brb
[06:55] <echosyp> change your name when you get back
[06:55] <coder> KyRNeL what is this channel for then?   lol
[06:55] <zero88> whats the best firewall for linux???
[06:55] <illriginal> Can anyone help me with gettin rid of the latest generic ubuntu? I'm not using it because it doesn't work... I have no idea what the problem is but it doesn't load X.
[06:55] <IceGuest_7> Cyde, when it says to allocate a space for a root partition ("/") does that mean to create a new partition as "ext3"?
[06:55] <KyRNeL> i don't know heheheh many bots
[06:55] <ALL4N> hey, I need to install this kernel module (which I only have source for).. but now I just realised that the ubuntu kernel has modules disabled
[06:55] <fiveiron> zero88, a freebsd box
[06:55] <fiveiron> lol
[06:56] <Cyde> IceGuest_7: Yeah, root is gonna be ext3, unless you're a reiserfs kind of guy anyway.
[06:56] <KyRNeL> i don't know heheheh many bots
[06:56] <LiENUS> ALL4N, by default the ubuntu kernel has modules enabled
[06:56] <IceGuest_7> eh, I'm just a n00b
[06:56] <zero88> fiveiron what is bsd anyway?
[06:56] <yell0w> what's the advantage/disadvantage of reiserfs vs. ext3 ?
[06:56] <KyRNeL> fiveiron he she is askin for linux distro firewall not a bsd
[06:56] <Cyde> IceGuest_7: I think swap is generally 2X the size of your RAM or so ... of course, it also depends on how large the HD is anyway.  If it's a 20GB HD, you don't want a 2GB swap ..
[06:56] <Drabo> ReiserFS is faster with smaller files in some cases.
[06:57] <ALL4N> LiENUS: uh?    I go to /lib/modules/linux/ and type make modules, it says my kernel has modules disabled
[06:57] <illriginal> Can anyone help me with gettin rid of the latest generic ubuntu? I'm not using it because it doesn't work... I have no idea what the problem is but it doesn't load X. Now it's on my grub and it's just taking up space.
[06:57] <Cyde> yell0w: The disadvantage of reiserfs is that its inventor and lead programmer is in jail definitely on charges of murdering his family.
[06:57] <echosyp> what is linux?
[06:57] <Cyde> yell0w: So, go with ext3.
[06:57] <IceGuest_7> ah, alright
[06:57] <IceGuest_7> thanks
[06:57] <KyRNeL> what is windows?
[06:57] <KyRNeL> hehehehe
[06:57] <Cyde> s/definitely/indefinitely/
[06:57] <Drabo> There's talk about it being dropping from the kernel later on because it's bug-ridden and going unmaintained.
[06:57] <KyRNeL> funny bots
[06:57] <yell0w> lol Cyde i got that part, but i was just asking about its performance, not its future
[06:57] <LiENUS> ALL4N,  thats because /lib/modules/linux doesnt exist
[06:57] <echosyp> what all can this bot do
[06:58] <echosyp> how do i find out?
[06:58] <Drabo> Anyone here use Google's Jabber servers?
[06:58] <cld2> anyone have a .deb for proggyfonts?
[06:58] <LiENUS> Drabo,  i do
[06:58] <Cyde> yell0w: Performance is comparable ... I think reiserfs is supposed to be significantly better for lots of little files.
[06:58] <ALL4N> LiENUS: sorry, its /usr/src/linux
[06:58] <KyRNeL> i dont know.
[06:58] <LiENUS> ALL4N,  you installed the kernel-source package?
[06:58] <Cyde> yell0w: Although if your application is using lots of little files, you're doing something wrong.
[06:58] <cafuego> Cyde: Except not so good for storing them.
[06:58] <ALL4N> LiENUS: yes
[06:58] <LiENUS> why?
[06:58] <IceGuest_7> ah, crap. lol. Cyde ...
[06:58] <KyRNeL> ey guys has anyone use ubuntu for enterprise????
[06:58] <Drabo> LiENUS: No trouble connecting as of late? Been through Gajim and neither it or Gaim will cooperate in authentication.
[06:58] <Cyde> IceGuest_7: Yeah?
[06:58] <yell0w> Cyde, why is that ?
[06:58] <IceGuest_7> Cyde, "prepare mount points"
[06:58] <LiENUS> Drabo, im on right now
[06:58] <ALL4N> LiENUS: because I need to install this pwc package to get my webcam working
[06:58] <Drabo> Drat, so the server isn't down. lol
[06:59] <Phlosten> illriginal: using proprietry graphics card drivers?
[06:59] <ALL4N> LiENUS: and pwc only comes in source code..  and its a module
[06:59] <Cyde> yell0w: I couldn't really tell you, it has something to do with block sizes maybe?  Or are you referring to my comment about not using lots of little files?
[06:59] <echosyp> at what age is it ok to say fuck?
[06:59] <IceGuest_7> What does this screen mean?
[06:59] <LiENUS> ALL4N,  you dont need the kernel source to compile modules only the headers
[06:59] <Cyde> yell0w: If you have lots of little files, they should be in a database.
[06:59] <Cyde> IceGuest_7: Are you in fdisk?
[06:59] <Drabo> Tried using port 80 instead of the default (5222/5223) and swapping the server from gmail.com to googlemail.com like the help desk @ Google suggested but those pages are so old.
[06:59] <IceGuest_7> it has "reformat" on the side and the NTFS is unchecked. I know that it will not reformat that partition, but is everything alright?
[06:59] <tonyyarusso> echosyp: Not here.
[06:59] <illriginal> Phlosten, I already deleted my nvidia card driver, then downloaded and reinstalled it, that's not the problem, from what I'm assuming.
[06:59] <IceGuest_7> I'm not sure what fdisk is
[06:59] <echosyp> why not
[06:59] <Cyde> IceGuest_7: What partioning tool are you in?
[06:59] <IceGuest_7> I just see the "step 5 of 6" screen
[07:00] <ALL4N> LiENUS: hmm..  thats comforting.. I did try to compile the pwc package and it is looking in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build folder
[07:00] <echosyp> ;P
[07:00] <Drabo> A partition table manipulator, why of course.
[07:00] <Cyde> Anyone know what partitioning tool is on the Ubuntu LiveCD?
[07:00] <ALL4N> LiENUS: but there is no build folder
[07:00] <Drabo> GParted or QTParted.
[07:00] <echosyp> Qtparted
[07:00] <Phlosten> illriginal: the previous kernel will still be available in the grub menu
[07:00] <LiENUS> because you installed the kernel source instead of kernel dev
[07:00] <Drabo> Former's for Ubuntu/Xubuntu/Edubuntu, later's for Kubuntu.
[07:00] <echosyp> so can i say BitchX
[07:00] <illriginal> Phlosten, correct. I'd like to delete the latest one since it's just taken up space and also take it off my grub list.
[07:01] <sexcopter> how is it going IceGuest_7?
[07:01] <IceGuest_7> I'm not sure
[07:01] <tonyyarusso> echosyp: If you're actually discussing the IRC client....
[07:01] <echosyp> k
[07:01] <IceGuest_7> I'm at a point where it says "prepare mount points"'

[07:03] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[07:03] <krinns> i want to upgrade my ubuntu
[07:03] <LiENUS> use that to look random shitu p ALL4N
[07:03] <krinns> any idea
[07:03] <sexcopter> IceGuest_7: ok, the defaults are probably fine. make sure the ntfs is not checked for formatting.
[07:04] <CientificoLoco> sorry
[07:04] <ALL4N> LiENUS: so for the /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build folder.. do I need linux headers, or linux dev?
[07:04] <sexcopter> IceGuest_7: I'm guessing there'll be 3 entries, one for swap, one for root and one for ntfs
[07:04] <IceGuest_7> Cyde, yes it looks very familiar
[07:04] <cafuego> ALL4N: linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[07:04] <CientificoLoco> if you are north american you do not know nothig about sorry
[07:05] <Cyde> IceGuest_7: So it's asking for mount points right now?  Which mount points does it want to assign?  / and what else?
[07:05] <LiENUS> cafuego,  bad idea
[07:05] <Steil> is there an easy way to setup encrypted filesystems under ubuntu?
[07:05] <LiENUS> that wont upgrade
[07:05] <nofeardjb> Every time i reboot i my X server crashes and I get the error "(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.Fatal server error:no screens found" and if i re-install the Beta Driver for my gfx card, my Xserver works, but as soon as I restart, it crashes again. can anyone assist me?
[07:05] <LiENUS> ALL4N,  install linux-headers-386
[07:05] <IceGuest_7> well, /media/hda1 (which is my NTFS file system with windows)... swap... and /
[07:05] <cafuego> LiENUS -generic, you mean?
[07:06] <LiENUS> why generic cafuego ?
[07:06] <LiENUS> im guessing hes on x86
[07:06] <cafuego> LiENUS: But is he using the -386 kernel?
[07:06] <LiENUS> if he were on sparc or powerpc id expect him to be able to google this himself
[07:06] <IceGuest_7> what does /media/hda1 mean?!
[07:06] <ALL4N> LiENUS: thanks, will do
[07:06] <LiENUS> cafuego,  if hes runnign x86 he is
[07:06] <ALL4N> cafuego: thanks
[07:06] <cafuego> LiENUS: No, he's not.
[07:06] <LiENUS> cafuego, hes not?
[07:06] <sexcopter> IceGuest_7: that's your first partition on the disk, probably the ntfs one
[07:06] <cafuego> LiENUS: I have a x86 and use the -generic kernel.
[07:07] <LiENUS> yes he is cafuego
[07:07] <IceGuest_7> my options to change it is swap, / , /home, /boot, /usr, /var
[07:07] <LiENUS> unless he specifically opted to install a diff kernel
[07:07] <cafuego> LiENUS: ... he is on -generic.
[07:08] <cafuego> LiENUS: Unless he's on dapper. not edgy.
[07:08] <LiENUS> cafuego,  why wouldnt he be on dapper?
[07:08] <cafuego> LiENUS: Coz edgy is current?
[07:08] <LiENUS> err got those two backwords
[07:08] <LiENUS> cafuego,  both are current
[07:08] <Drabo> LiENUS: What server and hostname you using for Gtalk? No idea why this isn't going through all of the suddent.
[07:08] <Drabo> Sudden, even. Beh, boo, bah. X)
[07:09] <sexcopter> IceGuest_7: don't see any reason to change it. it depends on where you want your ntfs partition mounted, you could perhaps change it to /media/windows or /media/C or /media/ntfs for ex
[07:09] <midgetg0at> so i was messing around w/ my router. had to add another mac address to the allowed list..so my wifi card went out in edgy. then i couldnt get it back, now it's saying wlan0 doesnt exist. iv'e installed ndiswrapper about 5 times, i've got the windows drivers straight from the driver cd. no matter what i do (very limited knowledge btw) i cant get my wifi card to get picked back up - any ideas?
[07:09] <cafuego> LiENUS: Either way, if he's on edgy and using the normal kenrel, he's using -generic.
[07:09] <LiENUS> cafuego,  edgy has -386 installed for me
[07:09] <AMD-> any one know a way to install tux racer >
[07:10] <cafuego> LiENUS: -generic here.
[07:10] <ALL4N> I'm on feisty
[07:10] <AMD-> i tryed sudo apt-get install tuxracer
[07:10] <mackinac> lol
[07:10] <cafuego> ALL4N: aiyee! ;-)
[07:10] <IceGuest_7> sexcopter, so you're saying that it isn't mounting linux on my ntfs system at all... it's just naming it /media/hd1?
[07:10] <LiENUS> ALL4N, err why?
[07:10] <cile> how to install tv tuner card match
[07:10] <cile> ???
[07:10] <zyth> So, can I get support for my Ubuntu Satanic Edition here, or is there a special channel for that?
[07:10] <cafuego> AMD-: ppracer, I think.
[07:10] <LiENUS> ALL4N, if you dont understand linux well enough to setup a kernel module build why are you running beta software?
[07:10] <cafuego> zyth: How many goats?
[07:10] <zyth> cafuego, one per daemon!
[07:10] <pluto> hello

[07:11] <pluto> can anyone help me w/ installing beryl
[07:11] <ALL4N> so its generic then?

[07:11] <zyth> pluto, try #ubuntu-effects
[07:11] <ALL4N> LiENUS: I think feisty is good enough..  no problems so far
[07:11] <ferguscan> Hi, all.  I'm wanting to install a new keymap and have it accessible in the ubuntu keyboard configuration UI.
[07:11] <zyth> imbecile, check the thread on the ubuntuforums
[07:11] <pluto> zyth ?
[07:11] <pluto> how ?
[07:11] <ALL4N> LiENUS: except that webcam prob that is
[07:11] <cafuego> ALL4N: what does `uname -r' say?
[07:11] <LiENUS> ALL4N, feisty is for testing purposes only...
[07:12] <zyth> pluto, type /join #Ubuntu-Effects
[07:12] <sexcopter> IceGuest_7: more or less, yeah. it installs linux on another partition, and whereas in windows a different partition would have a new drive letter (D: etc), linux mounts it in a folder within / (usually /mnt/foo or /media/foo)
[07:12] <ALL4N> 2.6.20-5-386
[07:12] <ALL4N> testing is what I do  :p
[07:12] <ferguscan> I'm specifically interested in Programmer's DVORAK.  How can I do thisd?
[07:12] <cafuego> ALL4N: linux-headers-386 it is, then.
[07:12] <LiENUS> ALL4N, you should be familiar with linux and programming before using a beta version like feisty
[07:12] <IceGuest_7> sexcopter, I hope you're right :D my thesis paper is on here :D
[07:12] <LiENUS> you really should be using edgy
[07:12] <cafuego> LiENUS knows about Linux, who knew? ;-)
[07:12] <sexcopter> IceGuest_7: Back it up!
[07:12] <zyth> IceGuest_7, backups are your friend
[07:13] <sexcopter> IceGuest_7: that should be backed up *no matter what*
[07:13] <ALL4N> LiENUS: feisty is out in another month or so right?
[07:13] <IceGuest_7> it's on a CD, but that is a week old
[07:13] <yharrow> apr 19
[07:13] <LiENUS> ALL4N, they're not even on release candidates yet as far as i know
[07:13] <IceGuest_7> I guess if something happens I can always make it up over a long night
[07:13] <LiENUS> besides with feisty you should be in #ubuntu+1
[07:13] <nxvl> how unstable is feisty?
[07:13] <Frogzoo> IceGuest_7: dude, USB key

[07:14] <LiENUS>  woah

[07:14] <LiENUS> its alpha
[07:14] <LiENUS> that means things are guerenteed to break
[07:14] <IceGuest_7> huh? USB key?
[07:14] <Drabo> Only problem I ever had with Feisty was that it couldn't read my first HD's partition table. X(

[07:21] <l2s> yes the desktop version will auto detect 4 processors?
[07:21] <LordKeiden> I'm thingking that it would be nice to know how to limit any dir on size so that i can chase the problem without needing to reboot every 7 minutes....
[07:22] <LiENUS> l2s, do cat /proc/cpu
[07:22] <l2s> k
[07:22] <LiENUS> err cat /proc/cpuinfo
[07:22] <LiENUS> itl'l tell you how many cpus
[07:22] <bulmer> midgetg0a1: connectivity issues?
[07:22] <LiENUS> itl'l have a listing for each one
[07:22] <l2s> trying thanks
[07:22] <l2s> ubuntu did some amazng stuff on install
[07:22] <midgetg0a1> well..
[07:22] <midgetg0a1> i got mylaptop back today
[07:22] <l2s> even recognized a firewire drive attached during install
[07:22] <LiENUS> you really should reinstall the server version though
[07:22] <midgetg0a1> and hte nic has a new mac address, so i had to mess w/ the router to allow it
[07:22] <l2s> you cant run desktop easily as a server?
[07:22] <LiENUS> the server version is ~400mb with apache php and mysql
[07:22] <midgetg0a1> which took down my ubuntu box. which is the start of this mess.
[07:22] <LiENUS> and uses a special kernel optimized for serving
[07:23] <l2s> i want a gui
[07:23] <LiENUS> on a server?
[07:23] <midgetg0a1> somehow, wlan0 disappeared, and i cant seem to get ndiswrapper to see it again.
[07:23] <LiENUS> why?
[07:23] <l2s> im learning
[07:23] <LiENUS> the best place to learn is the command line
[07:23] <l2s> im not a linux hotshot yet
[07:23] <l2s> :)
[07:23] <bulmer> midgetg0a1: does it have to be wlan0?
[07:23] <ScribbleJ> When debootstrapping a ubuntu install, how do I enable shadow passwords?
[07:23] <midgetg0a1> i dont care what it is....thats just what it was
[07:23] <LiENUS> you're wasting ~500mb of space by using desktop install
[07:23] <LiENUS> plus ~128mb ram
[07:23] <midgetg0a1> oh man 500mb?
[07:23] <midgetg0a1> thats like 30c
[07:24] <Ironman273> I tried getting my Intellimouse to work and now I don't have any mouse.  Can I get some help with keyboard commands?
[07:24] <LiENUS> cheap server then
[07:24] <macd> not to mention the ram, cpu, and extra overhead from loaded BS kernel modules.
[07:24] <LiENUS> last server i bought i think i paid...10$  a gig
[07:24] <midgetg0a1> bulmer: ideas?
[07:24] <midgetg0a1> i just did it all again
[07:24] <tritium> !enter
[07:24] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[07:24] <l2s> i did cat /proc/cpu info
[07:24] <l2s> but all i see it say is processor 0
[07:25] <midgetg0a1> and when i ran modprobe ndiswrapper i got a ton of "stuff"
[07:25] <l2s> whats that mean?
[07:25] <bulmer> midgetg0a1: ideas for which? to change your router?
[07:25] <midgetg0a1> hah, no, router is solid
[07:25] <LiENUS> t only said procesor 0?
[07:25] <LiENUS> nothing else?
[07:25] <l2s> tons else
[07:25] <l2s> but not # of processors
[07:25] <LiENUS> it puts one listing per processor
[07:25] <bulmer> midgetg0a1: so where do you believe is the problem?
[07:25] <midgetg0a1> now it's a ubuntu issue....and now when i do sudo modprobe ndiswrapper it just hangs....same w/ ndiswrapper -l. But before i rebooted, it was correctly reporting that i had 2 drivers installed
[07:25] <l2s> only see one
[07:26] <l2s> so i guess desktop version doesnt auto do more than 1 proc
[07:26] <Ironman273> A little help here... :-|
[07:26] <LiENUS> how many timesm does it give model name?
[07:26] <macd> l2s, type "uname -a"  what kernel are you running?
[07:26] <bulmer> midgetg0a1: so where do you believe is the problem?
[07:26] <l2s> 2.6.15-26-386
[07:27] <macd> l2s, the 386 kernel does not have SMP support, if your running a coreduo or a dual proc system you need to install the SMP kernel.
[07:27] <midgetg0a1> somehow linux dropped my wifi dongle when the net went out.
[07:27] <l2s> model name is only given once
[07:27] <midgetg0a1> ndiswrapper is just hanging on everything...wont even list drivers....
[07:27] <gb__> i want XGL :(
[07:27] <LiENUS> macd,  you sure bout that?
[07:27] <Flannel> gb__: #ubuntu-effects
[07:27] <macd> LiENUS, yes.
[07:27] <l2s> its a quad processor system not dual cores
[07:27] <gb__> Flannel:  ty
[07:27] <gb__> Flannel:  long time
[07:27] <gb__> how r u man?
[07:28] <macd> l2s, Install the SMP kernel.
[07:28] <l2s> but its a bit old dell quad xeon 700 mhz
[07:28] <macd> l2s, Install the SMP kernel.
[07:28] <l2s> would the server cd install do it automatically
[07:28] <macd> no.
[07:28] <Flannel> gb__: doing fine
[07:28] <LordKeiden> is there a way to limit the size of a directory?
[07:28] <macd> its a one line command, "sudo apt-get install linux-kernel-smp"
[07:28] <l2s> ah
[07:28] <macd> l2s, then you will need to reboot.
[07:28] <l2s> ok let me reinstall server version and then try that?
[07:28] <LiENUS> LordElph,  to what ends?
[07:28] <Flannel> macd, l2s, which version of ubuntu we talking about?
[07:28] <l2s> 6.10 desktop
[07:29] <macd> 2.6.15 kernel, so one assumes dapper.
[07:29] <l2s> just downloaded it yesterday
[07:29] <macd> err, nvm dapper is 2.6.10?
[07:29] <LiENUS> nop
[07:29] <gb__> brb
[07:29] <LiENUS> dapper is 2.6.15
[07:29] <LordKeiden> LiENUS, are you asking me to what ends?
[07:29] <l2s> so i should resintall the server version then apt get the smp kernel?
[07:29] <Flannel> macd, l2s, dapper doesn't have SMP specific kernels, or at least, not for i386 family.  Just get the kernel for your proc (686), and it'll do SMP automatically
[07:29] <LiENUS> LordKeiden, whats the reason?
[07:29] <LordKeiden> right now, all I know is that beagle has a bug that causes it to eat all 20Gb of free disk space, and it does so by growing a single file in the tmp directory.
[07:29] <LordKeiden> I'm thingking that it would be nice to know how to limit any dir on size so that i can chase the problem without needing to reboot every 7 minutes....
[07:29] <LiENUS> l2s,  server version supports smp out of the box
[07:30] <midgetg0a1> hrm..i bet it's because i dont have the common stuff installed...
[07:30] <l2s> ok let me try that and see how far i get
[07:30] <macd> Flannel, I thought dapper stil have smp kernel? and edgy weas the first to merge the generic?
[07:30] <l2s> hope this works :)
[07:30] <LiENUS> macd,
[07:30] <l2s> does server version have a gui at all?
[07:30] <LiENUS> im running dapper server
[07:30] <Flannel> macd: Edgy phased out proc specific stuff (k7, 686, etc), Dapper phased out -SMP and non
[07:30] <LiENUS> it detected smp just fine
[07:30] <macd> ahhh.
[07:30] <LiENUS> l2s,
[07:30] <LiENUS> !pastebin | l2s
[07:30] <Flannel> so, anything EXCEPT -386 has SMP (well, assuming your proc supports it)
[07:30] <ubotu> l2s: 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)
[07:31] <LiENUS> l2s, pastebin your /etc/cpuinfo
[07:31] <macd> l2s, then after your install you should "sudo apt-get install linux-kernel-686" to get SMP support for your machine.
[07:31] <l2s> that would be hard from here im on another pc typing to you
[07:31] <Ironman273> So can anyone help?
[07:31] <l2s> basically i want a rails box
[07:31] <Hasrat_USA> ladies and gentlemen, it's my pleasure and honor to announce to you that I have finally been able to replace Gaim with Gyachi Enhanced to chat in Yahoo chat rooms and have access to Voice Chat as well. The journey was rough though. I had to install several packages to solve dependency related issues. Anyone having trouble with finding, installing and using a full-featured yahoo client can contact me and i would love to help him/he
[07:31] <Hasrat_USA> r out, since i have the complete solution now. :)
[07:31] <LiENUS> l2s, rails?
[07:31] <l2s> ubuntu seemed to be what everyone said is best for it
[07:31] <l2s> ruby on rails
[07:32] <macd> l2s, I use dapper server for rails. apache2.2/mongrel/capistrano/svn
[07:32] <midgetg0a1> after i use synaptic to "completely remove" something, should i reboot before i install it again?
[07:32] <LiENUS> midgetg0a1, only if you're running windows
[07:32] <Flannel> midgetg0a1: no need, only time you need reboots is to change kernels
[07:32] <LordKeiden> LiENUS, right now, all I know is that beagle has a bug that causes it to eat all 20Gb of free disk space, and it does so by growing a single file in the tmp directory.
[07:32] <ardchoille> midgetg0a1: no
[07:32] <midgetg0a1> yea, so i thought, but it's fixed the ndiswrapper stuff in the past
[07:32] <LordKeiden> LiENUS, I'm thingking that it would be nice to know how to limit any dir on size so that i can chase the problem without needing to reboot every 7 minutes....
[07:32] <midgetg0a1> just curious what the thoughts were here
[07:32] <midgetg0a1> i'll reboot anyway
[07:32] <l2s> ok macd i will try to do the same, i have all the tutorials to get that stuff installed, im just a bit new to ubuntu, used to osx terminal
[07:32] <Ironman273> help.  My mouse is sick
[07:32] <LiENUS> LordKeiden, disable beagle then?
[07:33] <macd> l2s, I would get ubuntu 6.06 LTS rather than 6.10.
[07:33] <l2s> whys that
[07:33] <ardchoille> l2s: 6.06 is much more stable and supported longer
[07:33] <macd> if this is going ot be your rails server, you want a release that is supported/maintained for longer.
[07:33] <Ironman273> How do I access the "start" menu with a keyboard?
[07:33] <ardchoille> Ironman273: ALT+F1 ?
[07:34] <Flannel> Hasrat_USA: make a wiki page about it, that'd probably be the best way to disseminate the information
[07:34] <funStick> macd, do you have a cingular 8125?
[07:34] <LiENUS> l2s,  because 6.06 is supported for 5 years whilst 6.10's support ends in 1.5 months
[07:34] <l2s> ok i have that cd here
[07:34] <mtholdenss> translaton_en_us are failing in update..
[07:34] <macd> funStick, no.
[07:34] <funStick> strange question i know
[07:34] <macd> yeah that was from left field, I must say.
[07:34] <ardchoille> lol
[07:34] <funStick> k, just making sure you weren't someone i knew
[07:35] <funStick> http://youtube.com/watch?v=dL1n82eVM6g
[07:35] <l2s> ok its rebooting now and installing the 6.06 lts version
[07:35] <LordKeiden> LiENUS, well, that is the immediate solution, but if another app gets hungry, i'd like to curb its appetite while i figure out whats happening. i spent 2 days working in windows cuz i couldnt keep linux up and stable for more than 8 minutes...
[07:35] <funStick> nobody click that link
[07:35] <funStick> don't do it
[07:35] <l2s> thank you guys for the help
[07:35] <funStick> http://youtube.com/watch?v=dL1n82eVM6g
[07:35] <funStick> thats the one not to click
[07:35] <macd> l2s, not a problem, thats what the community is for.
[07:35] <ardchoille> funStick: Please stop, this is a support channel.
[07:35] <midgetg0a1> should i install both ndiswrapper-utils-1.1 and ndiswrapper utils-1.8?
[07:36] <l2s> Basically I need it to do dns, web, db all  in one  incl mail
[07:36] <l2s> Is there an ubuntu server setup guide you recc for ruby on rails and ubuntu in general?
[07:36] <LordKeiden> LiENUS, beagle has just brought to light a bit of disaster prevention stratagy I'd like to have.
[07:36] <mtholdenss> translaton_en_us are failing in update..
[07:36] <l2s> something for real noobs
[07:36] <macd> l2s, there is a nice howto on howtoforge the perfect ubuntu server, you should check it out.
[07:36] <yell0w> !lamp | l2s
[07:36] <ubotu> l2s: 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+)
[07:36] <l2s> great thanks
[07:36] <macd> yell0w, he doesnt want a lamp stack, rails + lamp = waste.
[07:37] <funStick> that is a support link
[07:37] <yell0w> oh,
[07:37] <funStick> it has good info
[07:37] <LiENUS> l2s,  you should move mail and dns to seperate server
[07:37] <funStick> http://youtube.com/watch?v=dL1n82eVM6g
[07:37] <yell0w> I thought he said dns, web, mail, all in one
[07:37] <funStick> there it is again
[07:37] <tritium> LordKeiden: you might consider additional partitions to avoid taht
[07:37] <tritium> funStick: stop now
[07:37] <l2s> yes i know but fornow its easier to use it on this box
[07:37] <l2s> i have sep windows dns servers etc
[07:37] <LiENUS> or at least use xen
[07:37] <l2s> im used to 2k3 and 2kserver
[07:37] <Ironman273> Can I please get some help troubleshooting my mouse
[07:37] <l2s> but am converting to the other side now :)
[07:38] <macd> l2s, linux can play nice with AD ;)
[07:38] <LordKeiden> tritium, i'm on a lappy, so adding another drive is challenging...  =)
[07:38] <tritium> LordKeiden: I didn't suggest a second drive
[07:38] <yell0w> LordKeiden,  there's duck tape you know
[07:38] <macd> Ironman273, what was your problem again?
[07:38] <l2s> was pretty impressed with ubuntus installer routines
[07:38] <midgetg0a1> ok, so now i'm getting "athfmwdl    driver installed, hardware present" and "neta5agu     driver installed, hardware present" but the dongle isnt lighting up :-/ do i have to start ndiswrapper somehow?
[07:38] <l2s> best ive seen from linux
[07:38] <l2s> ever
[07:38] <LordKeiden> yell0w, you say my last lappy?!
[07:39] <Ironman273> macd: I just finished upgrading to 6.10 and my mouse isn't working
[07:39] <yell0w> LordKeiden, <LordKeiden> tritium, i'm on a lappy, so adding another drive is challenging...  =
[07:39] <macd> Ironman273, I assume you have rebooted?
[07:39] <tritium> !enter > l2s
[07:39] <yell0w> :P
[07:39] <Ironman273> A couple times, some of them accidentally
[07:39] <macd> Ironhand, is this mouse usb or serial?
[07:39] <macd> or PS2, sorry.
[07:39] <Ironman273> macd: USB
[07:39] <macd> Ironman273, have you unplugged it? and plugged it back in?
[07:39] <LordKeiden> tritium, i did consider that, but that only works if an app eats in the dir on that partition...
[07:40] <LordKeiden> yell0w, my last lappy had a fair amount of duct tape!  =)
[07:40] <vanax_> can anybody help me install beryl?
[07:40] <l2s> macd is this the tutorial you recc: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_6.06
[07:40] <midgetg0a1> just did: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart ... did a bunch of stuff, but the last thing was "failed to bring up wlan0" - thoughts, ideas, suggestions - anyone??
[07:40] <macd> l2s, yessir.
[07:40] <ardchoille> vanax_: /join #ubuntu-effects
[07:41] <yell0w> LordKeiden, i was just kidding =))
[07:41] <hwdyki> i just install ubuntu using debootstrap. how do i boot to a graphical login?
[07:41] <l2s> do you also reccomend using ispconfig?
[07:41] <macd> l2s, when it gets into setting up apache and whatnot just disregard that and move on ya know? so you can setup your rails enviornment properly.
[07:41] <ScribbleJ> hwdyki, "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" is easiest.
[07:41] <macd> l2s, I dont like all that extra "jazz"
[07:41] <LordKeiden> yell0w, good, this is a week old lappy, the wife would kill me!
[07:42] <ubuntu> hello
[07:42] <yell0w> LordKeiden, lol, definitely
[07:42] <l2s> So don't choose the lamp server option?
[07:42] <vanax> Can anybody help me get beryl working?
[07:42] <macd> l2s, no.
[07:42] <macd> vanax join #ubuntu-effects
[07:42] <Taime1> i have a silly question
[07:42] <Taime1> i installed a new usplash
[07:42] <Taime1> but it only works on shutdown
[07:42] <ScribbleJ> That's not a question.
[07:42] <Taime1> not when i boot
[07:43] <Taime1> what the heck?
[07:43] <midgetg0a1> bah, it's still hanging on loading, which means it's struggling w/ networking or something
[07:43] <midgetg0a1> '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit .........???
[07:43] <midgetg0a1> loading screen just jumped to that
[07:43] <macd> Taime1, you need to remove "quiet" from the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.1st
[07:43] <vanax> macd nobody answers in there
[07:43] <tritium> macd: no, he needs to rebuild his initrd
[07:43] <macd> vanax, well, you have to wait until someone does.
[07:44] <Taime1> wow, hoe the heck did you know that?
[07:44] <ness> hello
[07:44] <LordKeiden> what is a reasonable max for a tmp dir partition? 1Gb? More?
[07:44] <funStick> will someone play with me
[07:44] <cafuego> Taime1: You can do it via 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure <name of the kernel package>'
[07:44] <tritium> funStick: stay on topic
[07:44] <midgetg0a1> should i plug in my usb after i install ndiswrapper, the drivers and reboot?
[07:45] <midgetg0a1> no one cares to lend a hand? :(
[07:45] <Taime1> see....idid that
[07:45] <Taime1> but now it only works on shutdown
[07:45] <dynamicreflux> does anyone have the 945GM chipset driver working for intel with beryl on feisty?
[07:45] <yell0w> LordKeiden, one part just for /tmp ? @_@
[07:45] <macd> Taime1, ahh my mistake as pointed out by tritium , rebuild your initrd "sudo mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img{uname -a}
[07:46] <Taime1> can i copy and paste that?
[07:46] <cafuego> Taime1: no.
[07:46] <macd> minus the "'s sure
[07:46] <cafuego> Taime1: sudo mkinitramfs -o
[07:46] <LordKeiden> yell0w, yeah....in an attempt to prevent a repeat of the last 3 days...
[07:46] <dynamicreflux> does anyone have the 945GM chipset driver working for intel with beryl on feisty?
[07:46] <macd> you cant embed the uname?
[07:46] <cafuego>                /boot/initrd.img-$(uname -r)
[07:46] <Taime1> okay, i am very new
[07:46] <pyrohotdog1> Can anyone assist in getting an NIS server going...
[07:46] <cafuego> macd: not with those brackets, no ;-)
[07:46] <tritium> dynamicreflux: wrong channel.  Ask in #ubuntu+1
[07:46] <Taime1> i totally missed something here
[07:46] <Ironman273> macd: I just unplugged it and plugged it back in and am still in the same situation.  Before my upgrade to 6.10 I had installed imwheel
[07:47] <_84Z00K4_> hey guys big noob here anyone can help me with wireless setings?
[07:47] <macd> Ironman273, Im not real sure if that did not help, stick around for a while, someone will come along that knows what you need todo.
[07:47] <_84Z00K4_> cant get my card to run on ubuntu?
[07:48] <macd> cafuego, see what I get for using tsch ;)
[07:48] <LordKeiden> _84Z00K4_, what card? in a lappy or desktop?
[07:48] <macd> tcsh even
[07:48] <Hasrat_USA> if i downloaded, for say, blahblahblah_0.9.blah.deb in /home/hasrat and later on installed it by typing sudo dpkg -i blahblahblah_0.9.blah.deb, where would the executable and other files go? in which folder?
[07:48] <_84Z00K4_> desktop a dwl-g520 with atheros chipset
[07:48] <pyrohotdog1> When I run sudo /usr/lib/yp/ypinit -m I get makefile errors?
[07:48] <tritium> Hasrat_USA: dpkg -L <packagename> will tell you
[07:49] <_84Z00K4_> during the instalation the card is recognised and im prompted to enter wep and other information
[07:49] <Taime1> im sorry...can one of you give me the command for that which i can cut and paste?
[07:49] <_84Z00K4_> but after the install the card isnt there anymore -_-
[07:49] <cafuego> Taime1: sudo mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-$(uname -r)
[07:49] <Taime1> thank you so much
[07:49] <macd> Taime1, sudo mkinitramfs -o  /boot/initrd.img-$(uname -r)
[07:50] <macd> heh, pasting blind again.
[07:50] <LordKeiden> _84Z00K4_, do a google for "atheros wireless ubuntu" . I googled for my wireless on my lappy (broadcom in a presario) and i found the howto in just a few minutes...
[07:50] <_84Z00K4_> i will try for the 100th time lol
[07:51] <l2s> one q the live cd isnt the server cd correct
[07:51] <cile> hello
[07:51] <l2s> the install interface should be different than the desktop one right?

[07:52] <FlickMyBic> wait til your card is supported?
[07:52] <macd> EdibleEgg, you can download the packages from another machine and burn a CD, then use dpkg to install those.
[07:52] <midgetg0a1> i'm struggling w/ my own card issues egg...it was working 2 hours ago
[07:52] <midgetg0a1> for 8 months..
[07:52] <midgetg0a1> then a no go
[07:52] <LordKeiden> _84Z00K4_, ok. u said the card disapeared?
[07:53] <_84Z00K4_> really strange iwconfig doesnt list the card, even tho it was there at install
[07:53] <_84Z00K4_> yeah
[07:53] <EdibleEgg> macd, well i need to know how to get all the packages, i actually have a shared FAT32 partition so I can just pass files between that

[07:54] <LordKeiden> _84Z00K4_, u using ndiswrapper?
[07:54] <macd> oneyozfest182, you should ask in #ubuntu-effects
[07:54] <EdibleEgg> thank you macd
[07:54] <_84Z00K4_> i dont know, just the fresh install from the server version of ubuntu
[07:54] <oneyozfest182> I'm a noob I admit, so do I /join #ubuntu-effects?

[07:56] <_84Z00K4_> 1: lo:...
[07:56] <LordKeiden> _84Z00K4_, I'm no expert, but i would try using ndiswrapper and the windows driver, unless your googleing has pointed you to an open sourced driver, that works.
[07:57] <midgetg0at> Error for wireless request "Set ESSI" : SET failed on device wlan0 ; no such device.
[07:57] <bulmer> _84Z00K4_: on l0 ?

[07:58] <crazy_pat> hi, can anyone help a newb? i require access to a ntfs disk on my system but i dont have the disks menu in system/administration/disks
[07:58] <gb__> Flannel: u there?
[07:58] <midgetg0at> my ubuntu box is on my left, my laptop is on my lap
[07:58] <LordKeiden> _84Z00K4_, I even read that mine didnt work at all in any flavor...
[07:58] <gb__> i did try all that
[07:59] <gb__> X wont boot
[07:59] <midgetg0at> kinda hard w/o a network device working...just asking for a little sympathy :)
[07:59] <bulmer> _84Z00K4_: you have loaded the drivers for your specific wifi card?
[07:59] <gb__> on dapper here
[07:59] <midgetg0at> yes
[07:59] <midgetg0at> only, ndiswrapper -l hangs if i reboot after i load them.
[07:59] <midgetg0at> not quite sure what that means, but i'm assuming it's not great
[07:59] <_84Z00K4_> bulmer no
[07:59] <midgetg0at> sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart sees wlan0 but cant start it.
[08:00] <gb__> any1?
[08:00] <_84Z00K4_> i assume ubuntu is supposed to do that on its own since it was able to recognise and config my card during install
[08:00] <bulmer> _84Z00K4_: do it anyways
[08:00] <_84Z00K4_> how do i do that please?
[08:01] <midgetg0at> hwo do i kill a process if i have the pid?
[08:01] <midgetg0at> kill xxxx?
[08:01] <bulmer> _84Z00K4_: which chip?

[08:04] <hwdyki> how do i rename my ethernet interface?
[08:04] <cafuego> to what?
[08:05] <hwdyki> anything.
[08:05] <cafuego> you can't
[08:05] <cafuego> well, you could hack the driver
[08:05] <hwdyki> you can with ifrename.
[08:05] <cafuego> but i don't see the point
[08:05] <midgetg0at> bulmer: sorry...heh
[08:05] <hwdyki> but how do i do it with the interface config file?
[08:06] <midgetg0at> bulmer: i jsut completely removed all ndis packages, i'm rebooting
[08:06] <_84Z00K4_> since during the installation ubuntu was "configuring" my ethernet device i assume it must have saved the configuration somewhere, how would i access that?
[08:06] <cafuego> hwdyki: Oh, from eth1 to eth2 etc, via /etc/iftab
[08:06] <midgetg0at> bulmer: where do you suggest i start when gnome loads
[08:06] <bulmer> midgetg0a1: umm..network manager perhaps
[08:06] <midgetg0at> bulmer: i cant even boot w/ the usb dongle plugged in - it just craps out at the loading screen
[08:07] <harika> k
[08:07] <l2s> oh boy - error says host controller processor error something really bad happened
[08:07] <bulmer> midgetg0a1: does it require to have your usb dongle to boot? why not unplugged it?
[08:07] <l2s> Strange because desktop installed just fien on teh system
[08:07] <midgetg0at> well, i just did
[08:08] <midgetg0at> bulmer: but when it was working, it would start up (lights on) instantly
[08:08] <harika> kishore
[08:08] <brianski> hmm
[08:08] <kishore> harika, ya
[08:08] <kishore> harika, got it
[08:08] <harika> okk
[08:08] <midgetg0at> bulmer: i'm not sure what to do at Devices - Network tools...cards unplugged and drivers arent in ndis...i'm guessing install :)
[08:08] <bulmer> midgetg0a1: i dont know, get a system boot up first
[08:08] <kishore> harika, now come there
[08:08] <l2s> macd any ideas?
[08:08] <midgetg0at> yea, i'm in now, i have been in.
[08:08] <brianski> update manager doesn't appear in my notifications area for the past few weeks, despite their being updates available if you run apt-get update ; apt-get --no-act upgrade  - anyone have any ideas on how to fix?
[08:08] <midgetg0at> bulmer: it just annoys me that i cant boot w/ it
[08:09] <macd> l2s, the actual error would help
[08:09] <bulmer> midgetg0a1: you have in your Bios, set to boot from USB?
[08:09] <l2s> Thats actually what i said, i will go back and get the rest of it now for you.
[08:09] <midgetg0at> no no, i'm not talking usb thumb drive, my wifi card is a usb dongle
[08:10] <midgetg0at> i just meant, ubuntu would fire it up as soon as the loading screen came on.
[08:10] <l2s> May I msg you privately so not to flood teh channel
[08:10] <_84Z00K4_> here is another funny thing, when i do: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart, i get a a few werrors like "SET failed on device ath0 ; No such device."

[08:11] <bulmer> midgetg0a1: you are already booted right? so now time to plug-in your usb wifi
[08:11] <_84Z00K4_> tho ath0 was there during install
[08:11] <midgetg0at> bulmer: drivers arent installed
[08:11] <midgetg0at> bulmer: i had uninstalled ndiswrapper and rebooted
[08:11] <midgetg0at> i'm reinstalling ndiswrapper and am going to load the drivers.
[08:11] <macd> midgetg0at, its atheros ?
[08:12] <Ironman273> What's a good media player?
[08:12] <midgetg0at> macd: i believe so. that name is soo familiar.
[08:12] <midgetg0at> i'ts a dlink G-132
[08:12] <wastedtime> I cant seem to make the xserver work in the live CD. I tried reconfiguring it too.. are there any other solutions.. i have a toshiba p105-s6024
[08:12] <midgetg0at> heh, drivers are showing installed already even after a full uninstall and reboot.
[08:12] <macd> midgetg0at, yes its atheros, dont use ndiswrapper, just "sudo modprobe atheros" then plug it in.
[08:13] <midgetg0at> lovely.....
[08:13] <midgetg0at> oh..
[08:13] <Ironman273> Is there a webpage that lists suggestions for different tyeps of applications in Linux?
[08:13] <midgetg0at> hah, ok, so remove ndiswrapper?
[08:13] <macd> yes.
[08:13] <midgetg0at> k, sec.

[08:14] <_84Z00K4_> im starting to think that linux isnt ready for wifi yet, tried installing this on two diffrent distros over the past week and still no luck
[08:14] <clearzen> _84Z00K4_:what kind of card?
[08:14] <midgetg0at> _84..i am having problems now...but this exact card was working for about 8 months up until 3 hours ago.
[08:14] <midgetg0at> macd: any idea why i get module atheros not found? how to make it found?
[08:14] <macd> midgetg0at, yeah I gave you the wrong name use ath_pci
[08:15] <midgetg0at> :)
[08:15] <_84Z00K4_> dlink wireless, dwl-g520

[08:15] <Ironman273> macd: Any recommendation for a media player? (mostly for music, not videos)
[08:15] <macd> midgetg0at, or more approriatly ath_usb ;)
[08:15] <_84Z00K4_> its a fairly common card strange that it isnt plug and play
[08:15] <midgetg0at> er...which is it?
[08:15] <midgetg0at> heh
[08:15] <Prez_> someone running edgy with 2.6.20.1 and ipw3945 wifi?  can't get 3945 drivers compiled
[08:15] <macd> Ironman273, amaroK is great, rythmbox work nice
[08:15] <clearzen> _84Z00K4_: have you tried to compile the svn source for the driver?
[08:15] <midgetg0at> macd: ath_usb was not found, but ath_pci was
[08:15] <Ironman273> macd: thanks again. sorry being such a pain
[08:15] <midgetg0at> dongle still has no lights on it.

[08:16] <krinns> hi all
[08:16] <krinns> i need to purchase a thum scanner
[08:17] <bulmer> midgetg0at: see if any atheros drivers is in  /lib/firmware/`uname -r`/
[08:17] <macd> l2s, thats a ppweredge, what raid card does it have perc2 or 3?
[08:17] <krinns> whch model or barnd should i go for
[08:17] <l2s> 3 i believe
[08:17] <_84Z00K4_> clearzen: no and sorry to say i have no idea what that is, this is my first experience working wifi with linux, so far its been wired and worked on the go
[08:17] <bh_> How do I tell apt to keep a package and not remove it without using hold ?
[08:17] <l2s> sorry it is perc 2
[08:17] <macd> l2s, did it see the volumes when you partitioned?
[08:17] <midgetg0at> bulmer: not from what i can tell
[08:18] <midgetg0at> but there is a acx folder
[08:18] <bh_> anybody ?
[08:18] <midgetg0at> and one of the tutorials i read said to "blacklist" acx
[08:18] <l2s> with the desktop cd it saw everything and worked perfectly
[08:18] <bulmer> midgetg0at: those are texas instrument chips ACX111 kind
[08:18] <macd> l2s, with the server install, did you get to the partition portion of the install....did it see the disk(s)
[08:18] <krinns> creative
[08:18] <midgetg0at> gocha, i dont see anything about atheros though.
[08:18] <clearzen> _84Z00K4_: What you need is the atheros drivers
[08:18] <bulmer> midgetg0at: am using ACX right now..so i didnt blacklist it
[08:19] <krinns> VistaPro
[08:19] <krinns> Livecame VistaIM
[08:19] <krinns> Instant Skype
[08:19] <krinns> LivePro
[08:19] <krinns> LiveUltra
[08:19] <krinns> which one works
[08:19] <_84Z00K4_> clearzen: im checking it out in /lib/firmware/`uname -r`/ like bulmer said right now
[08:19] <l2s> the raid initialized perfectly as well and formatted easily. Now if i let hte machine sit it then started the blue install menu's after it errored and waited a long time. I have not seen the partition menu as of yet
[08:19] <slap_me> how would i go about changing the partition size of my ubuntu, and giving some more to windows?
[08:20] <midgetg0at> bulmer: where do i get those drivers?
[08:20] <macd> l2s, ahhhh, I see now, try rebooting and starting the install over.... if it continues, its possible you have 1. a bad burn (burn slower)
[08:20] <macd> slap_me, use "gparted"
[08:20] <slap_me> i tried that once
[08:20] <slap_me> wouldnt let me for some reason
[08:20] <bulmer> midgetg0at: i dont know where to get madwifi..maybe you need to google for it
[08:20] <slap_me> i dropped ubuntu down
[08:20] <l2s> curious, ok will try
[08:20] <slap_me> the unalocated space wouldnt let me add to windows
[08:21] <macd> slap_me, that is how you do it, the exact error you had would be extremely helpful in diagnosing your problem.
[08:21] <midgetg0at> bulmer: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=2541597#post2541597 that post look about right - the 1-7?
[08:21] <slap_me> mm
[08:21] <slap_me> now i need to go to linux partition
[08:21] <slap_me> heh
[08:21] <macd> slap_me, if you have partition magic you can do it from within windows.
[08:21] <macd> nvm.
[08:22] <bulmer> midgetg0at: i dont know..can you try dmesg | grep ath
[08:22] <midgetg0at> bulmer: give me a sec to type that...i've got no copy paste...

[08:25] <_84Z00K4_> bmidgetg0at how did you get that output?
[08:25] <midgetg0at> and just died 3 horus ago when i took down my router.
[08:26] <bulmer> midgetg0at: it just recognized it, it has not loaded a driver for it
[08:26] <kski_> can anybody help me install a prism2 usb wireless card?
[08:26] <midgetg0at> bulmer: ok, so you're suggesting i do?
[08:26] <bulmer> midgetg0at: to get the usb card to work yes..you need to load the driver for it
[08:27] <midgetg0at> ok, but i dont know how to do that...
[08:27] <midgetg0at> before, it just worked w/ ndiswrapper - now you're suggesting i dont use that?
[08:27] <macd> should there be a #ubuntu-wifi channel ;)
[08:27] <midgetg0at> yea, no doubt macd
[08:27] <macd> midgetg0at, does it show in "lspci" ?

[08:29] <midgetg0at> should i install ndiswrapper-utils-1.1 or ndiswrapper-utils-1.8.?
[08:29] <matty_1> hmm, that may be the problem madpilot - if it is should i copy files across then reimage it fat32?
[08:29] <bulmer> midgetg0at: am a bit rusty on ndiswrapper...hang on, let me think what else i may suggest
[08:29] <midgetg0at> ok, no worries, much appreciated.
[08:29] <macd> midgetg0at, man you should be able to just use the kernel atheros drivers, but meh if ndiswrapper works go with it.
[08:30] <midgetg0at> macd: by use, you mean?
[08:30] <midgetg0at> modprobe ath_pci?
[08:30] <Madpilot> matty_1, if it's NTFS, there really isn't a reliable, totally safe way to write to NTFS from Linux. Reformatting it to fat32 might be a good idea.
[08:30] <midgetg0at> and then just plugging in the card?
[08:30] <macd> yes
[08:30] <matty_1> Madpilot: Thanks for your help!
[08:30] <bulmer> macd: whats the name of those kernel atheros drivers?
[08:30] <macd> ath_pci and ath_usb
[08:30] <midgetg0at> ath_usb is not found.
[08:31] <macd> yeah Im not sure whats up with that, it is on edgy here.
[08:31] <macd> 2.6.17-11
[08:31] <midgetg0at> same...
[08:31] <midgetg0at> well, wtf?!? i'm going nuts over here
[08:32] <midgetg0at> do i somehow *start* ndiswrapper?
[08:32] <dan__> type ndiswrapper
[08:32] <dan__> in terminal to start
[08:33] <l2s> macd tried 2 burns, am trying one last one but same erros on both disks
[08:33] <midgetg0at> hrm...that just comes up w/ the options..
[08:33] <dan__> right....
[08:33] <dan__> the u have to load the driver
[08:33] <macd> l2s, man not really sure then tbh, you could post a bug on launchpad ....
[08:33] <dan__> then*
[08:33] <midgetg0at> yes, i've done that 12 times
[08:33] <midgetg0at> :-/
[08:33] <midgetg0at> but it always hangs when i do ndiswrapper -l after a reboot
[08:33] <l2s> weird cause its a stock dell 6350
[08:33] <dan__> do ndiswrapper -l
[08:33] <dan__> hrrrrm
[08:33] <dan__> reinstall it
[08:33] <midgetg0at> heh, i know right ;)
[08:34] <midgetg0at> thast where the 12 times comes from
[08:34] <l2s> and 6.10 did just fine with it, 6.06 server doesnt even see the network card
[08:34] <midgetg0at> i've been reinstalling all night
[08:34] <dan__> bang ur head on a really hard surface 100xs
[08:34] <macd> l2s, yeah its right wierd, but they do run different kernels, as well as udev, libtls, and evms differences.
[08:34] <l2s> i guess will have to run 6.10 desktop as a server then
[08:34] <midgetg0at> I dont have any hard surfaces where they put me because of this
[08:35] <l2s> can the desktop version run the smp kernel?
[08:35] <macd> l2s, get the 6.10 alternate install CD, then install server.
[08:35] <bulmer> midgetg0at: which brand of usb wifi you have?
[08:35] <midgetg0at> Dlink DWL-G132
[08:35] <midgetg0at> and keep in mind - it was working at 11pm..
[08:35] <midgetg0at> and not just for a minute, i had it working for 8 months.
[08:35] <macd> has anyone seen and NFS mount not show in 'df' but it is really mounted and able to be accessed?
[08:36] <l2s> if it allows the smp kernel to run in desktop then id be ok with that
[08:36] <macd> midgetg0at, nahh you just didnt see your ethernet cable plugged in ;P
[08:36] <macd> l2s, it sure does.
[08:36] <midgetg0at> hah, i nkow right...
[08:36] <l2s> i guess i will go with that then till they fix whatever it is thats broken in 6.06 lts
[08:36] <midgetg0at> k....so this is what iv'e got
[08:36] <midgetg0at> ndiswrapper -l
[08:37] <midgetg0at> athfmwdl     driver installed, hardware present
[08:37] <macd> l2s, please submit a bug too, so that it can get fixed, http://launchpad.net
[08:37] <midgetg0at> neta5agu    driver installe,d hadrware present
[08:37] <midgetg0at> but no lights on the dongle...no net activity...
[08:37] <l2s> ok will do
[08:37] <l2s> im happy to let them use the server itself to see if that would be of help
[08:38] <macd> make sure and include the exact error message, and when you get 6.10 installed get the output of "lspci" and include that
[08:38] <midgetg0at> modprobe ndiswrapper issued no errors
[08:39] <NoEviden2> Oh awesome..
[08:39] <bulmer> midgetg0at: what does iwconfig tells you now?
[08:39] <midgetg0at> lists about 6 things, all say no wireless extensions. below them
[08:39] <midgetg0at> and no mention of the previously existing wlan0
[08:39] <Ironman273> What the hell do I do with a "tarball"?
[08:40] <NoEvidenZ> Ironman273: You untar it.
[08:40] <midgetg0at> or you can throw it over the castle wall.
[08:40] <Ironman273> NoEvidenZ: OK, but to where?
[08:40] <NoEvidenZ> Ironman273: try tar xvvf <filename>
[08:40] <christopher> how can I get the total size of all the files in a directory (and all subdirectories) via command line?
[08:40] <Flannel> !compile | Ironman273
[08:40] <ubotu> Ironman273: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[08:41] <kidbuntu> how do i change rpm package to deb?
[08:41] <bulmer> midgetg0at: you need to use ndiswrapper -a   to specify the device id..
[08:41] <Flannel> kidbuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RPM/AlienHowto
[08:41] <JaccoH> kidbuntu .. alien
[08:41] <Ironman273> Flannel: Thanks
[08:42] <pirothezero> !alien | kidbuntu
[08:42] <ubotu> kidbuntu: 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)
[08:42] <bulmer> christopher: maybe you look into du -h
[08:42] <midgetg0at> bulmer: ndiswrapper doesnt have a d option - at least mine doesnt
[08:42] <midgetg0at> bulmer: also, where do i find this device id?
[08:42] <bulmer> midgetg0at: its "ndiswrapper -a"
[08:42] <midgetg0at> wow, i'm brain dead
[08:42] <midgetg0at> it does have d
[08:42] <pirothezero> kidbuntu: in other words sudo apt-get install alien then do alien -i filename.rpm
[08:42] <christopher> thanks bulmer
[08:43] <midgetg0at> bulmer: ok, so um, how do i find my devid?
[08:43] <kidbuntu> ok thanks everyone
[08:43] <bulmer> midgetg0at: lsusb ?
[08:43] <midgetg0at> dlink corp :)
[08:44] <midgetg0at> ok, so: ndiswrapper -d 2001:3a03
[08:44] <bulmer> midgetg0at: you ever visited the ndiswrapper web site? it list all these chips and options
[08:44] <bulmer> for the command
[08:45] <midgetg0at> ok, so this is what i just did..
[08:45] <Blacken> Question: I've got a project on which I want to use an Ubuntu-based distro (well, two, actually--the primary one right now making a dedicated Internet terminal for a library near campus). I need to be able to lock down GNOME or KDE to the point where the only application that WILL run is Firefox, and will remain on at all times. Can anyone point me in the right direction to begin this?
[08:45] <midgetg0at> ndiswrapper -d 2001:3a03 athfmwdl
[08:45] <midgetg0at> and i got
[08:45] <midgetg0at> Driver 'athfmwdl' is used for '2001-3a03'
[08:45] <midgetg0at> should i do the same for hte other driver iv'e got loaded in there?
[08:45] <eric> does anyone here know anythng about Linux Mint?? (ubuntu derivative)
[08:46] <Ironman273> Why would I get a message that "no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH"?
[08:47] <kidbuntu> pirothezero: after doing that, where did the file go?
[08:47] <Blacken> Ironman273: Check your $path for gcc.
[08:47] <Flannel> Ironman273: you don't have build-essential installed
[08:47] <eric> does anyone here know anythng about Linux Mint?? (ubuntu derivative)
[08:47] <pirothezero> kidbuntu: it auto installs the package as if it was in the reposistory pretty much
[08:47] <NoEvidenZ> Ironman273: apt-get install build-essential
[08:47] <bulmer> midgetg0at: now look at the end of /var/log/messages  ..does it mention anything about your ath card?
[08:47] <kraut> moin
[08:47] <pirothezero> so you should be able to use the command in cli to start the application
[08:47] <midgetg0at> bulmer: what is "SIOCIFADDR: No sugh device" about?
[08:47] <midgetg0at> sec..
[08:47] <Blacken> !repeat | eric
[08:47] <ubotu> eric: 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
[08:48] <NoEvidenZ> !patience
[08:48] <kidbuntu> pirothezero: you mean to say that, like i "sudo apt-get install" the package?
[08:48] <ubotu> The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[08:48] <Flannel> Blacken: theres some Kiosk howtos around.  Uh, but I can't seem to find any of the ones I was thinking of.
[08:48] <bulmer> midgetg0at: cant recall..but it seems it has no ip address
[08:48] <Flannel> Blacken: but, that's probably the keyword you're looking for, kiosk, that is
[08:48] <midgetg0at> bulmer: i see a lot of "reset high speed usb device using ehci_hcd and address 9" for the past hour.
[08:49] <Blacken> Flannel: Ah! Of course. None too bright at 3AM. Thank you. :)
[08:49] <kidbuntu> !alien
[08:49] <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)
[08:49] <Flannel> Blacken: I'd check the ubuntu forums, since the wiki doesn't seem to have anything
[08:50] <midgetg0at> bulmer: it doesnt have any lights on either.
[08:50] <bulmer> midgetg0at:  "SIOCIFADDR: No sugh device"  on the log file?
[08:50] <kidbuntu> pirothezero: is there a seperate package that i could download for 6.10, or is it already installed?
[08:50] <Blacken> Flannel: Yeah, I posted there regarding my other project (which is my business one; this one's a community-service project with a bunch of old junker PCs I have lying around). Thank you for your help. :)
[08:50] <Ironman273> So apparently installing something like Brasero is a serious undertaking?
[08:50] <midgetg0at> bulmer: no, no mention of siocifaddr
[08:50] <midgetg0at> only mention of ath_ is when i pasted you that stuff earlier.
[08:50] <bulmer> midgetg0at: you have your own AP to connect to?
[08:51] <midgetg0at> bulmer: ap?
[08:51] <midgetg0at> oh right
[08:51] <midgetg0at> yea, i do
[08:51] <midgetg0at> i'm on the wifi w/ this notebook right now.
[08:51] <Flannel> Blacken: you have the howto regarding liveCD customization, right?
[08:51] <bulmer> midgetg0at: now if you launch your network-manager, does it recognize your wifi card now?
[08:51] <Blacken> Flannel: Not offhand; I was tempted to actually just roll my own (I've done it before). There's a howto for it?
[08:52] <midgetg0at> by network manager you mean? i ahve "networking" and "network tools" in the admin menu
[08:52] <bulmer> Blacken: umm DSL or damn small linux maybe something you can look into also
[08:52] <Flannel> Blacken: er, if it's a liveCD, does kiosk really matter?  I guess to stop people from running other programs... You could always just literally not have anything else on the liveCD
[08:52] <Flannel> Blacken: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization/6%2e06
[08:52] <Blacken> Flannel: Problem is, you can still drop to tty and do all sorts of things I don't want them to do.
[08:53] <Blacken> These are librarians--by which I mean stereotypical Aunt Tillies.
[08:53] <Flannel> Blacken: like what?
[08:53] <macd> Blacken, you could also just install X and modify firefox so that it only runs in fullscreen mode i.e. without the toolbar
[08:53] <Flannel> Blacken: create a user?  I guess mount the harddrive.  But... not if they didn't have HDDs
[08:53] <macd> I believe you can also use the settings to "remoave" certain items from the menus
[08:53] <Blacken> macd: Hmm, there's an idea. I hadn't thought of that...
[08:54] <Mena> Hi, any one uses superkaramba
[08:54] <Blacken> Mena: #kubuntu
[08:54] <Mena> Blacken, ok
[08:54] <Ironman273> Why would I get this error when I "./configure"? checking for python >= 2.3... okay
[08:54] <Ironman273> checking for headers required to compile python extensions... not found
[08:54] <Ironman273> configure: error: could not find Python headers
[08:54] <Flannel> Blacken: If it is a liveCD, and you're looknig to create your own, I'd just tweak it all-- remove TTYs, uninstall almost everything, etc
[08:55] <midgetg0a1> bak - sorry, took of mac id filtering on my router even though it shouldnt be a problem.
[08:55] <midgetg0a1> i've got the network monitor icon in one of my panels...
[08:56] <AzMoo> Hey, does anybody know how I can connect to a pptp vpn connection?
[08:56] <midgetg0a1> when i right clck on it, connection is "wlan0" status is "error"
[08:56] <macd> AzMoo, there are several VPN clients for linux
[08:56] <midgetg0a1> and i click configure and it complains: The interface does not exist
[08:57] <AzMoo> macd, I noticed. Can you recommend any?
[08:57] <macd> AzMoo, network-manager-pptp is a nice gui.
[08:57] <midgetg0a1> bulmer: what is "modprobe ndiswrapper" supposed to do?
[08:57] <AzMoo> macd, cheers.
[08:58] <bulmer> midgetg0a1: loads the module into the kernel
[08:58] <AzMoo> midgetg0a1, load the ndiswrapper module into your kernel
[08:58] <mau> hey guys.  any ideas on how to get an optical sound port to work?
[08:58] <mau> analog works
[08:58] <mau> no luck with digital:(
[08:58] <midgetg0a1> AzMoo: is a reboot not then a good idea?
[08:59] <Blacken> Hmm. For this sort of thing, I have to think xfce might actually be smarter than GNOME...
[08:59] <bulmer> midgetg0a1: you try   ifup wlan0  yet?
[08:59] <bulmer> or wlan1 if its named wlan1
[08:59] <macd> mau, you should be able to use alsaconf and select the spdif output.
[09:00] <pirothezero> anyone here using blockhosts?
[09:00] <midgetg0a1> no i havent, i was rebooting for the fun of it
[09:00] <mau> macd, i'm looking at a fiber channel... not spidif
[09:00] <midgetg0a1> and it's hanging at load again becuase i had the usb wifi dongle plugged in...man, this was never a problem.
[09:00] <midgetg0a1> i ahve to alt+ctrl+del to get past the hanging...
[09:00] <macd> fiber channel sound?
[09:00] <bulmer> midgetg0a1: after you have loaded ndiswrapper, you have to make it permanent, otherwise you need to reload at next boot
[09:00] <macd> optical cable?
[09:00] <mau> but I assume alsaconf is a terminal command?
[09:01] <midgetg0a1> but shouldnt it be perm from 4 hours ago when it was working? and i did see it in "that" file listed last
[09:01] <midgetg0a1> cant remember the name of the file
[09:01] <macd> mau, your trying to use the optical output?
[09:01] <mau> yep
[09:01] <l2s> oh well 6.10 desktop is installing
[09:01] <macd> mau, that is spdif ;)
[09:01] <Kenny> hey can ne help me out?
[09:02] <NoEvidenZ> !rlogin
[09:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rlogin - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:02] <macd> mau, and yes, alsaconf is console.
[09:02] <NoEvidenZ> !login
[09:02] <midgetg0a1> bulmer: ifup wlan0 w/ it plugged in right...
[09:02] <ubotu> login: system login tools. In component main, is required. Version 1:4.0.16-2ubuntu4 (edgy), package size 306 kB, installed size 2776 kB
[09:02] <l2s> disappointing the dell would not install server easily
[09:02] <NoEvidenZ> !logind
[09:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about logind - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:02] <bulmer> midgetg0a1: what happened?
[09:02] <mau> macd, ha... thanks.. I used to seeing units with both a spdif (looks like rca) and optical (fiber channel)
[09:02] <NoEvidenZ> Anyone know anything about setting up a remote login?
[09:02] <midgetg0a1> nothing yet, had to reboot - it hung on boot w/ dongle plugged in, then gave a GDM error...
[09:02] <mau> is it one in the same in pc world?
[09:02] <midgetg0a1> in desktop now, sec
[09:03] <macd> mau, yeah the RCa looking one is called coaxial digital, optical is spdif
[09:03] <Blacken> NoEvidenZ: How do you mean?
[09:03] <Blacken> NoEvidenZ: Graphical, shell...?
[09:03] <mau> got it.. thanks
[09:03] <NoEvidenZ> Blacken: Graphical
[09:03] <Blacken> NoEvidenZ: Easy way or hard way?
[09:03] <Blacken> (Hard way is better, easy way is quicker.)
[09:03] <mau> macd, so how do I use the command?  I'm pretty new to console
[09:03] <NoEvidenZ> Blacken: Easy please? =] 
[09:03] <macd> NoEvidenZ, xdcmp is most likely the easiest one
[09:03] <midgetg0a1> bulmer: haha, un oh..i think this might clue you in
[09:03] <macd> mau, in console type "alsaconf"
[09:03] <midgetg0a1> "ifup: failed to open statefile /var/run/network/ifstate: Permission denied"
[09:03] <Blacken> NoEvidenZ: xdcmp is the absolute easiest, but if you want something *good*, google for "freenx"
[09:03] <Blacken> It's in the seveas repos.
[09:04] <macd> midgetg0a1, sudo ;P
[09:04] <mau> hmm...
[09:04] <Kenny> HELP!!!!!!!!!
[09:04] <mau> command not found
[09:04] <midgetg0a1> d'oh
[09:04] <macd> mau, sudo apt-get install alsaconf
[09:04] <midgetg0a1> was hoping it was some crazy permis problem
[09:04] <midgetg0a1> now i feel dopey......sec.
[09:04] <mau> :(  looks like i'm missing the repository
[09:05] <macd> mau, disregard that, let me find the package that includes that
[09:05] <midgetg0a1> error while getting interface flags: no such device (x)
[09:05] <NoEvidenZ> Blacken: I want to be able to login from school to my Ubuntu box at home. Would I use xdcmp for that?
[09:05] <bulmer> midgetg0a1: thats why i prefer to have a sudo su -  but many here is reluctant to give you that power :(
[09:05] <midgetg0a1> bind socket to interface: no such device
[09:05] <midgetg0a1> Failed to bring up wlan-
[09:05] <midgetg0a1> well, wlan0
[09:05] <macd> mau, sudo apt-get install alsa-utils-gui (then you should have the guified version)
[09:05] <mau> macd, that you so much for the helping hand
[09:06] <AzMoo> macd, how do I use that gui? I can't find it anywhere :\
[09:06] <mau> E: Type 'repository' is not known on line 39 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:06] <mau> E: The list of sources could not be read.
[09:06] <Fracture> is feisty likely to support lvm with the desktop cd ?
[09:06] <macd> AzMoo, its called network-manager, it should be in the menu under internet
[09:07] <AzMoo> macd, got it. Had to add it myself. Thanks.
[09:07] <macd> AzMoo, yeah sometimes things get intsalled but dont showup, at least you know to use the mnenu editor
[09:07] <midgetg0a2> bah, that was weird...
[09:07] <AzMoo> macd, heh, but now it doesn't work :\
[09:07] <midgetg0a2> bulmer: any more ideas?
[09:08] <Xblaster> ciao ragazzi!
[09:08] <MatrixMon> Can someone help me with vmware?
[09:08] <macd> AzMoo, does it give you an error?
[09:08] <midgetg0a2> heh, and now htat i rebooted...ndiswrapper -l will hang for ever.
[09:08] <Blacken> NoEvidenZ: Look at freenx; it'll do it better.
[09:08] <macd> MatrixMon, what problem are you having, and vmware or vmware-player?
[09:08] <Xblaster> qualcuno parla italiano?
[09:08] <Kenny> u guys suck
[09:08] <MatrixMon> I believe vmware
[09:08] <Kenny> all i want is a lil help
[09:09] <AzMoo> macd, Yep, "Failed to execute child process 'nm-vpn-properties' (no such file or directory)"
[09:09] <Blacken> Kenny: Why don't you try asking questions instead of just screaming "HELP!!!!!!"?
[09:09] <MatrixMon> I just need to know how to load windows on it
[09:09] <macd> MatrixMon, what problem are you having?
[09:09] <midgetg0a2> bulmer: did i scare you off?
[09:09] <macd> ohhh, MatrixMon google "vmware windows <version here> install"
[09:09] <bulmer> midgetg0a1: read the ndiswrapper web page specifically the area for your gl132
[09:09] <Kenny> ok sorry i didnt know if i was connected at 1st lol. duz anyone know how to install a linksys wmp45g?
[09:09] <bulmer> am off to bed
[09:10] <macd> MatrixMon, in a nutshell, use qemu to create a vmware image of your windows then "install" windows.
[09:10] <midgetg0a2> oh, they have it listed?? wt-arsh...
[09:10] <midgetg0a2> alright thanks bulmer..
[09:10] <MatrixMon> When I try to enter the windows disc path to vmware It doesn't give me an .exe
[09:10] <MatrixMon> Oh
[09:10] <Blacken> Kenny: http://www.larsen-b.com/Article/28.html
[09:11] <macd> MatrixMon, youll need to rip your windows CD to an iso, then use qemu to make a vmdk (vmware image) then install from that.
[09:11] <MatrixMon> Oh
[09:11] <macd> MatrixMon, and ignore the messages about the floppy drive.
[09:11] <Kenny> blacken: thx
[09:12] <SoulChild> Hey Guys
[09:12] <macd> MatrixMon, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=84275  that should help, its for vmware-player but it will work fine for vmware workstation.
[09:12] <skar> hi, i've got a asus p5b mb, feisty's 2.6.20-6generic kernel detects the jmicron ide, onbard gige rtl8168 lan etc correctly, but dapper didn't work, does the 2.6.17-10.33 kernel in edgy detect this h/w correctly?
[09:12] <SoulChild> i have no window network folder in Network-Servers any ideas please ?
[09:12] <MatrixMon> Thanks Mac
[09:13] <Blacken> MatrixMon: I've had nothing but hell with VMWare Workstation. You may want to give VMWare Server a look; 'tis free.
[09:13] <macd> skar, what specifically did dapper not detect?
[09:13] <macd> Blacken, second that.
[09:13] <Frogzoo> !hardware | skar
[09:13] <ubotu> skar: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[09:13] <skar> macd: the on board realtek 8168 gige lan card and the jmicron ide controller
[09:14] <Blacken> macd: VMWare Workstation is wonderful under Windows. Leaner than Server. Under Linux, it's a turd. :/
[09:14] <macd> Blacken, Im lucky enough to have hardware that supports virtualization, so Xen was a go for me ;)
[09:14] <Blacken> My box could support virtualization, but that would involve hideous amounts of DOING THINGS.
[09:14] <macd> hahah
[09:14] <Frogzoo> Blacken: vmplayer works fine
[09:14] <macd> Xen can be a nightmare, but my company makes its living off of xen sooo Im sort of an expert
[09:14] <Blacken> Frogzoo: Little hard to make your own images that way. ;)
[09:15] <MatrixMon> If it doesn't work I'll take a look at Server
[09:15] <SoulChild> guys i do not see my windows network although smbfs is installed
[09:15] <MatrixMon> Macd: Do I have to burn it as an iso?
[09:15] <macd> MatrixMon, once you have a vmware image, you can use vmware player with little trouble at all
[09:15] <skar> Frogzoo: no mention of p5b in motherboard's supported, sob sob :((
[09:16] <macd> MatrixMon, no just rip your CD to an ISO, read that link I gave you, it takes about 15 minutes for the entire process.
[09:16] <macd> Blacken, indeed, but server consolidation
[09:16] <Blacken> macd: Oh, aye, definitely on that score.
[09:16] <macd> Blacken, of course vmware fusion on OSX iss the hholy grail.
[09:16] <skar> Frogzoo: hmm i tried booting with the 2.6.20-6generic kernel installed by feisty's alpha livecd and a dapper partition as base, and it gets stuck at detecting USB stuff etc
[09:17] <Blacken> I am extremely anti-OSX, so we shall differ on that one. :)
[09:17] <macd> hehe
[09:17] <macd> by principle orr just anti Jobbs ?
[09:17] <Peps> Hi, a friend is offering me a system with a "Intel Core 2 Duo processor E6300". Will that run ubuntu?
[09:17] <Blacken> Peps: Most likely.
[09:17] <macd> Peps, yes, yes it will.
[09:18] <Peps> do I have to worry about the mobo?
[09:18] <Blacken> Peps: Likely not.
[09:18] <macd> Peps, most likely, no
[09:18] <Peps> and will it utilize the 2 processors?
[09:18] <Blacken> Peps: Yes.
[09:18] <Peps> sounds great. is 1G ram enough?
[09:18] <Blacken> Peps: Yes.
[09:18] <Blacken> macd: I'm not a fan of Jobs, but I dislike OS X for other reasons. Not a fan of the GUI by any means, and as someone who likes BSD quite a bit, the limited returns by Apple to the community make me a bit unhappy.
[09:19] <macd> Blacken, I share the upstream view wwith you on that one.
[09:19] <Peps> will I need to run the 64 bit kernel or will it run the 32 as well?
[09:19] <macd> Peps, I would run the 32bit
[09:19] <Frogzoo> Blacken: easyvmx.com
[09:19] <Blacken> Peps: The 32-bit kernel will run fine, and I'd recommend it over the 64-bit any day.
[09:19] <Peps> why, if I may ask?
[09:20] <Blacken> Frogzoo: Oooo. Didn't know about that one.
[09:20] <macd> although a 64bit system can run 32bit apps, but it takes some work, and is definetly not for linux newbs
[09:20] <Blacken> Peps: It tends to be easier, especially when running binary applications.
[09:20] <macd> Frogzoo, Blacken, virtualbox is another good one.
[09:20] <Frogzoo> Blacken: it's not pretty, but it works
[09:20] <Blacken> macd: I looked at virtualbox, and promptly looked away when it gave the "user must be in 'vboxusers' group" *when I was in the group already*.
[09:20] <macd> of course with kernel 2.6.20, KVM is pretty nice
[09:20] <Peps> so it is the same as a simple 32 bit pentium, right?
[09:21] <macd> Peps, in terms of compatibility yes
[09:21] <hwdyki> is 6.10 edgy?
[09:21] <Blacken> hwdyki: Yes.
[09:21] <hwdyki> thx.
[09:21] <Peps> sounds good. thanks. I will come back what I learn what is the mobo
[09:21] <Frogzoo> Blacken: if you need to setup interesting networking, the vmplayer in the repos doesn't have the vmplayer-config.pl you need - in that case look at the d/l from vmware
[09:22] <Blacken> Frogzoo: I'm just using a binary of Server from vmware.
[09:22] <funpop> is there a place where i can see _when_ xorg 7.2 will hit the feisty repos ?
[09:22] <Blacken> funpop: Your nearest dartboard. ;-)
[09:22] <macd> I think the vmware site has some jibberish about hacking vmware player to be vmware workstation and garbage about "no amount of script hacking can overcome the differences" <-- garbage.
[09:22] <macd> Blacken, you should be ashamed ;)
[09:22] <Blacken> macd: I am not a purist. ;)
[09:23] <macd> Blacken, indeed, every OS has its place.
[09:23] <macd> the fanboys should learn that
[09:23] <JaccoH> why the freak would you want to hack the player if vmware server is free?
[09:23] <macd> JaccoH, b/c you can?
[09:23] <mau> how do i open my sources.list file as a read/write?
[09:23] <Blacken> JaccoH: The Server is a little bit overblown for just making and running one virtual machine.
[09:23] <Blacken> mau: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:23] <macd> mau, sudo nano /etc/apt/source.list
[09:23] <macd> +s even
[09:23] <mau> thank you guys
[09:23] <JaccoH> yes .. ok .. well .. perhaps i look at this from a business point of view too much :) perhaps at home i would
[09:24] <funpop> is there a feisty channel ?
[09:24] <Blacken> I use .NET in order to write Mono code. So my perfidy can be forgiven.
[09:24] <macd> JaccoH, yes at work where budgetary concerns are nil ;)
[09:24] <Blacken> funpop: #ubuntu+1
[09:24] <funpop> thanks
[09:24] <JaccoH> but if you plan to do illegal stuff.. just download workstation from torrent :)(
[09:24] <drfoz> what is the better app gtkpod or yamipod?
[09:24] <Blacken> JaccoH: Illegal is relative.
[09:24] <macd> I think torrenting it would be worse than hacking it
[09:24] <JaccoH> crap
[09:24] <macd> drfoz, I prefer gtkpod
[09:24] <Blacken> drfoz: I liked yamipod when I had an iPod. It wasn't bad.
[09:24] <mau> macd, what is nano?
[09:24] <mau> for future referance
[09:25] <macd> mau, a texteditor.
[09:25] <drfoz> ah
[09:25] <Blacken> mau: man is your friend.
[09:25] <drfoz> mixed
[09:25] <JaccoH> speaking of illegal stuff.. any1 of you running mac os x on its regular PC?
[09:25] <macd> !nano
[09:25] <ubotu> Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) | Terminal-based editors: vi/vim, emacs, and nano (user-friendly). | HTML/CSS editors: !html | Programming: !code
[09:25] <mau> blacken, man?
[09:25] <macd> JaccoH, I smell cop!
[09:25] <macd> j/k
[09:25] <JaccoH> cop? hehe no more like a convession
[09:25] <macd> mau, when in doubt type "man <commandhere> to find out what it is
[09:25] <JaccoH> <=- guilty
[09:26] <mau> macd, oooh... thanks
[09:26] <Blacken> mau: man is your help system. Learning to use it before asking for help here will make you a Real Winner.
[09:26] <macd> JaccoH, I myself didnt see the need I own several macs, ppc/intel
[09:26] <JaccoH> yes i dont own any ..but i have a nice core2duo PC.. works 100% :)
[09:26] <JaccoH> well occasionally it wont shutdown
[09:26] <Blacken> OS X disturbs me from a programming standpoint, just because it's a Frankenstein.
[09:26] <macd> JaccoH, yes Ive heard of varrying levels of success
[09:26] <Blacken> It's BSD! It's Mach! It's BSD! It's Mach!
[09:26] <macd> Blacken, monolithic kernels scare me
[09:26] <JaccoH> blacken ..its neither
[09:26] <pradeepvglughyd> how do i change system font in Ubuntu
[09:27] <Blacken> But then again, I love my ridiculously elephantine C monstrosities.
[09:27] <JaccoH> blacken.. you sound like linuz
[09:27] <JaccoH> i think the hurd project is interesting
[09:27] <macd> Blacken, you must have mixed views of novell/suse too for that reason, the "not giving back upstream"
[09:28] <Blacken> macd: Mixed views? I have no mixed views on Novell and SuSE.
[09:28] <Blacken> I thank them for Mono, and now they can DIE IN A FIRE.
[09:28] <macd> haha
[09:28] <macd> they may with loosing samba.
[09:28] <Blacken> Losing? Nah.
[09:28] <pukiii> is mono still alive?
[09:28] <macd> and that deal with the devil.
[09:28] <Blacken> People make way more of a deal of GPL3 than it really is.
[09:28] <Blacken> pukiii: Yeah, and it's just about at full compatibility with .NET 2.0. It's pretty gravy.
[09:28] <JaccoH> you guy are serious fanatics dudes :)
[09:28] <macd> Blacken, true, but when the samba main man leaves over it, thats a pretty big deal to me, from a ethics standpoint
[09:29] <Blacken> I'm not a fanatic. I'm typing this on XP! :p
[09:29] <Blacken> macd: Ethics? Business?
[09:29] <macd> ethics not business
[09:29] <NoEvidenZ> .Net// =[
[09:29] <JaccoH> blacken.. looser :D .. should have been vista dude
[09:29] <macd> I leave my ethics at the door everyday I step into my office ;)
[09:29] <Madpilot> Blacken, macd, everyone else - programming & politics can move to #ubuntu-offtopic, please
[09:29] <JaccoH> .. ok
[09:30] <macd> ...and the channel goes dead.
[09:30] <NoEvidenZ> Sorry, Madpilot
[09:30] <macd> sorry indeed as well
[09:30] <SoulChild> guys do i need samba to enter a window network or do i only need smbfs ???
[09:30] <NoEvidenZ> GOt carried away. We're all very passionate.
[09:30] <mau> macd, got my spdif to work... you rock
[09:31] <macd> SoulChild, smbfs will allow you to mount a samba share in linux.
[09:31] <macd> mau, cool, glad to hear it.

[10:13] <ardchoille> MyGhetek: Madpilot gets the credit for that one :)
[10:13] <Frogzoo> KaOS-bEat: du -skx /* | sort -n   might do better
[10:13] <MyGhetek> Madpilot: props!
[10:13] <Madpilot> ardchoille, na, the bot can take the credit ;)
[10:13] <MyGhetek> haha
[10:13] <ardchoille> hehe
[10:14] <fredl> how come dbconfig-common doesn't seem to run on Ubuntu?
[10:14] <Madpilot> 80% of helping here is knowing how to poke the bot
[10:14] <Frogzoo> !poke
[10:14] <CheshireViking> !botsnack
[10:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about poke - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[10:15] <KaOS-bEat> Frogzoo: I have a problem
[10:15] <LMNT_OX> its not exist
[10:15] <Frogzoo> LMNT_OX: ~/.gimp-2.2/scripts
[10:15] <soho> !ubuntu
[10:15] <LMNT_OX> in the terminal?
[10:15] <ubotu> Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuHowCome
[10:15] <Frogzoo> KaOS-bEat: I know, your root fs is full
[10:15] <KaOS-bEat> my homedir:     21G     /home/kasper

[10:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about linspire - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:15] <fredl> So for what the bot DOESN'T seem to know, why dbconfig-common doesn't seem to work properly on Ubuntu, could somebody please help me figure out why it doesn't work?
[10:15] <Madpilot> ubotu, msgthebot | soho
[10:15] <ubotu> soho: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[10:16] <elkbuntu> !investigate
[10:16] <KaOS-bEat> but when I du -h /home/kasper I get 91Mb
[10:16] <Frogzoo> KaOS-bEat: use the -x flag to restrict du to just the one fs
[10:16] <Frogzoo> KaOS-bEat: well you're only using 91Meg out of the 21Gig
[10:17] <LMNT_OX> ok how do i save a scm file that is on my desktop into that directory
[10:17] <fredl> I have uninstalled/reinstalled dbconfig-common on Edgy, uninstalled/reinstalled packages that use it, and I can't get it to create databases properly.
[10:17] <LMNT_OX> Frogzoo
[10:17] <KaOS-bEat> but there is a file I cannot readout... it's using 21Gb
[10:17] <Madpilot> LMNT_OX, you're using the terminal? try "mv ~/Desktop/thing.scm ~/.gimp-2.2/scripts"
[10:17] <Frogzoo> KaOS-bEat: called?
[10:18] <LMNT_OX> ok lemme try
[10:18] <fredl> *sigh*
[10:19] <KaOS-bEat> i don't know... if I ask "du -skxh /home/* | sort -n"  it says /home/kasper = 21G
[10:19] <fredl> where's the Ubuntu channel where  you can ask questions other than how to move a file?
[10:19] <LMNT_OX> whats the graphical way???
[10:19] <CheshireViking> fredl, /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:19] <KaOS-bEat> if i ask "du -skxh /home/kasper/* | sort -n" it doesn't get bigger that 91M
[10:19] <n2diy> fredl #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:20] <fredl> it's not offtopic, it's about UBUNTU
[10:20] <Madpilot> LMNT_OX, in Gnome's file manager, press Ctrl+H to show you the hidden folders
[10:20] <KaOS-bEat> can I search for files bigger then lets say 15Gb
[10:20] <Madpilot> fredl, right here. Don't ask to ask, just ask...
[10:20] <Frogzoo> KaOS-bEat: du -sk /home/kasper/.* | sort -n
[10:20] <fredl> I asked and nobody answers.
[10:20] <n2diy> fredl, here
[10:20] <Frogzoo> KaOS-bEat: did you delete a 21gig file in nautilus?
[10:20] <KaOS-bEat> 19297752        /home/kasper/.blender
[10:21] <KaOS-bEat> that will be the one
[10:21] <Frogzoo> there ya go
[10:21] <n2diy> oh well.
[10:21] <KaOS-bEat> a tmp-file left from blender
[10:21] <fredl> I'm trying to install torrentflux. torrentflux depends on dbconfig-common. dbconfig-common *appears* broken.
[10:21] <Madpilot> fredl, try again in a while, then - no response generally means nobody has an answer for you.
[10:21] <file_not_found> hello, newb need help. how to change language (what is the alt+shift paralel of windows in ubuntu)?
[10:22] <z9999> Having difficulty playing a Quicktime Video using VLC player in Ubuntu 6.06, The video has many short, thin, vertical lines. Anyone able to help with this?
[10:22] <Frogzoo> file_not_found: system -> administration -> language
[10:22] <KaOS-bEat> Frogzoo: or a whole directory filled with crashed temp-files
[10:22] <KaOS-bEat> ok
[10:22] <KaOS-bEat> thanks!
[10:22] <fredl> Madpilot, dbconfig-common gets used in a ton of packages in Ubuntu, how can it be that nobody here can answer a question about it when it *appears* to be broken?
[10:22] <Frogzoo> KaOS-bEat: yw
[10:22] <KaOS-bEat> I love blender btw, and ubuntu
[10:23] <Madpilot> fredl, because most of this crowd is composed of desktop users, probably.
[10:23] <file_not_found> forgzoo: 10x, it downloads something...
[10:23] <unop-> hello. when i want to burn an .iso file in doesn't work. i wanted to create a file image with CD/DVD Creator but when i'm copy the file and click 'write to disc' it'll open a dialog with 'from image' and 'file' and when i hit from image i don't get nothing
[10:23] <funpop> what is blender used for ?
[10:23] <soho> hello, what is this problem with xine: RealAudio Cooker (ffmpeg) (cook) unable to play audio-format?
[10:23] <funpop> unop which prog ?
[10:23] <fredl> Madpilot, well, that's why I asked if there's an Ubuntu channel where I can ask question that are of a slightly higher level than how to move a file.
[10:23] <Madpilot> unop-, just right-click the actual ISO file, select "burn to disc" - no need to use the cd/dvd creator
[10:23] <Frogzoo> soho: you need the restricted codecs
[10:23] <Frogzoo> !codecs | soho
[10:23] <ubotu> soho: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[10:23] <unop-> Madpilot: ok, let me try.
[10:24] <soho> Frogzoo; thanks
[10:24] <CheshireViking> fredl, you're probably in the right place here, just nobody around at this time has an answer, I'd just try again later
 it installed something, now what ??
[10:24] <LMNT_OX> ok cant find the scripts folder frogzoo :(
[10:25] <n2diy> fredl, try #ubuntu-classroom
[10:25] <fredl> classroom??
[10:25] <unop-> Madpilot: works, thanks
[10:25] <Madpilot> unop, np

[10:26] <fredl> why #ubuntu-classroom??
[10:26] <soho> if i compile xine from svn which location of the win32-codecs should i compile in (/usr/lib/win32 or /usr/lib/codecs)?
[10:26] <elw0od> hi all
[10:26] <tolmo> hi elw0od
[10:27] <fredl> this is starting to get irritating.
[10:27] <elw0od> i am confused about one thing...
[10:27] <CheshireViking> fredl,maybe there's a more appropriate channel listed on this webpage http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-358393.html
[10:27] <OrTigaS> DZRH
[10:27] <Madpilot> fredl, -classroom because it's quieter, and better for more in-depth help sometimes.
[10:27] <file_not_found> noob need help.... how to change the language i"m writing (what the alt+shift keys are in ubuntu) ??
[10:27] <elw0od> i read about xgl and compiz support with ati drivers also proprietary but i heard that it's not supported....where is truth?
[10:28] <Madpilot> elw0od, try #ubuntu-xgl
[10:28] <tolmo> elw0od, it's out there, it's out there somwhere.
[10:28] <elw0od> tolmo, yes never it's in me :)
[10:28] <LMNT_OX> grrrrrrrrrrr
[10:28] <elw0od> Madpilot,  thanks
[10:28] <tolmo> elw0od, lol
[10:28] <fredl> Madpilot, I'm on #ubuntu-server but nobody there is talking at all, nor on #ubuntu-classroom
[10:28] <LMNT_OX> i am trying to put this stupid file into my gimp scripts folder but i cannot locate the folder
[10:29] <elw0od> LMNT_OX,  in your home i suppose... something like .gimp2
[10:29] <Madpilot> fredl, you might want to try ubuntuforums.org's server forum, if -server is dead and nobody here is up to speed on server issues
[10:29] <dmex> anyone?
[10:29] <tolmo> dmex, what what?
[10:29] <CheshireViking> !anyone
[10:29] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[10:30] <Madpilot> LMNT_OX, /.gimp-2.2/scripts in your home folder
[10:30] <fredl> Madpilot, but there's 932 people sitting here... *sigh* I relate to that post that CheshireViking pasted...
[10:30] <l2s> what is the update command to install a kernel in ubuntu 6.10 that supports multiple processors
[10:30] <Milos> somebody here ?
[10:30] <fredl> particularly the "Oh you, yes you, looking just joking, I know it is a volunteer based society here. :lolflag:" comment.
[10:30] <l2s> sudo apt-get install linux-686-smp
[10:30] <l2s> is that correct?
[10:30] <Milos> Hello people.. i need some informations.. who owns the bot: ubotu ?
[10:30] <Milos> a
[10:30] <LMNT_OX> all that is in my home folder is desktop, and examples
[10:30] <fredl> listen, I know most people here are very kind and trying to help...
[10:30] <Madpilot> fredl, no, there's about 30 active, and roughly 900 idlers... sad but true.
[10:31] <n2diy> l2s: that is very close
[10:31] <fredl> I help out myself most of the times I'm here...
[10:31] <l2s> whats wrong with it
[10:31] <Milos> Hello people.. i need some informations.. who owns the bot: ubotu ?
[10:31] <Madpilot> LMNT_OX, you need to go View->Show Hidden Files to see .gimp-2.2
[10:31] <fredl> but the few times I come here and need help myself, lately I have hardly been able to get *anybody* to respond somewhat meaningfully.
[10:31] <Madpilot> Milos, Seveas does
[10:31] <elw0od> omg i forgot it...
[10:32] <LMNT_OX> aha genius
[10:32] <LMNT_OX> thanks
[10:32] <elw0od> hi  ubotu , i still love you

[10:32] <Milos> Hello people.. i need some informations.. who owns the bot: ubotu ?
[10:32] <file_not_found> help plz !!!
[10:32] <CheshireViking> fredl, i'd help if i could, but i've got no experience of what your problem listed - i've only been using ubuntu for 6 months so i'll still class myself as a newbie for a long time yet
[10:32] <Milos> Seveas: are you here ?
[10:33] <file_not_found> noob need help.... how to change the language i"m writing (what the alt+shift keys are in ubuntu) ??
[10:33] <Milos> so people.. can somebody help me to i PUT scripts in my eggdrop like scripts for ubotu a ?
[10:33] <fredl> CheshireViking, I'm not upset with you or any of the kind people on here that are trying to help.
[10:33] <fredl> don't get me wrong.
[10:33] <Madpilot> Milos, Seveas has been idle over 12hrs, so he's likely not here
[10:33] <l2s> can anyone tell if security.ubuntu,com is offline
[10:33] <Milos> Madpilot: another ppl can help me a ?
[10:33] <l2s> I cant seem to grab any updates from the servers
[10:34] <dmex> anyone else able to help me out since tolmo just left? theres a description at http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=367982
[10:34] <n2diy> file_not_found: check out system-preferences-keyboard
[10:35] <CheshireViking> fredl, i wasn't getting you wrong, i've been in that position of being frustrated when nobody is around who can answer or help - only thing i can suggest is trying later in the day - maybe when the US timezone starts waking up - normally seems to be a lot more people able to help later in the day (i'm uk based)

[10:41] <dmex> hwdyki apt-get install wine
[10:41] <jo_> hoi, having trouble with mount of volumes: the name of it is not being displayed, just label.. when inserting new dvd, no automount.. no autostart... this problem came with the installation of the new kernel 2.6.20 on ubuntu edgy, anyboddy knows a hint?
[10:41] <dmex> it shoudl allready be installed though
[10:41] <n2diy> hwdyki: with system-admin-synaptic
[10:42] <ardchoille> dmex: Why should it already be installed?
[10:42] <file_not_found> n2die, 10x !!!
[10:42] <dmex> ardchoille It was allready installed for me
[10:42] <n2diy> file_not_found: ? ;)
[10:43] <hwdyki> it's not in the repository.
[10:43] <ardchoille> dmex: Did you use automatix?
[10:43] <ardchoille> !wine > hwdyki
[10:43] <ardchoille> !mplayer > hwdyki
[10:43] <dmex> no
[10:43] <dmex> ?
[10:44] <ardchoille> dmex: wine doesn't ship with Dapper and I doubt it ships with Edgy.
[10:44] <hwdyki> does ubuntu enforce a free-only policy like debian?
[10:45] <n2diy> hwdyki: it is encouraged
[10:45] <dmex> ardchoille I downloaded 6.10 and it was allready installed, I ran wine <path> and it ran some programs?
[10:46] <ardchoille> dmex: I didn't know Edgy shipped with wine.
[10:46] <hwdyki> so are programs like skype available from apt repositories?
[10:47] <ardchoille> Does Edgy ship with wine?
[10:47] <ikonia_> no
[10:47] <n2diy> hwdyki: probably, but, if your using Synaptic, you'll have to enable the Universe Repos.
[10:47] <dmex> ardchoille you wouldnt be able to help me out with http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=367982
[10:47] <ardchoille> dmex: Wine is in universe for Edgy, I really think you or a script installed it.
[10:48] <dmex> ardchoille hmm im not sure then
[10:49] <ikonia_> wine is in the repo - but it doesn't ship with it
[10:49] <dmex> ardchoille if I have to reinstall I will find out
[10:49] <hwdyki> how do i enable universe repos by editing sources.list?
[10:49] <ardchoille> dmex: Those permissions are indeed weird
[10:50] <ardchoille> dmex: What are your permissions on /var/lib ?
[10:50] <n2diy> hwdyki: are you running X?
[10:51] <hwdyki> i would be, but it's still installing.
[10:51] <hwdyki> currently in debootstrap chroot.
[10:51] <n2diy> hwdyki: are you talking to me?
[10:51] <hwdyki> yeah.
[10:52] <dmex> ardchoille is there any way to reset the permissions
[10:52] <ikonia_> dmex chmod
[10:52] <n2diy> hwdyki: then use my nick in your responses so I know that!
[10:52] <hwdyki> n2diy: ok.
[10:53] <n2diy> hwdyki: thank you! :)
[10:53] <dmex> chmod says operation not permitted
[10:54] <n2diy> hwdyki: Can't do much now will you are installing, good luck.
[10:55] <hwdyki> n2diy: i have shell access.
[10:56] <n2diy> hwdyki: I'd let the install do it's thing. No need to confuse it.
[10:57] <midgetg0a2> anyone on at this wee morning hour?

[11:10] <elw0od> ikonia, but is it an error?
[11:10] <dmex> thats the problem
[11:10] <ikonia_> elw0od no
[11:10] <n2diy> :/
[11:10] <ikonia_> dmex ughhhh what did you do to get that
[11:11] <dmex> your command ls -la /var/lib/apt
[11:11] <ikonia_> I mean what did you do to set those permissions
[11:11] <dmex> i didnt set them like this
[11:11] <elw0od> even if a have pata disk?
[11:12] <n2diy> ! pata

[11:12] <l2s> is 6.10 stable
[11:12] <elw0od> old parallel ata i mean
[11:12] <dmex> ikonia apt stoped working yesterday and i have been unable to solve the problem because of these permissions
[11:13] <dmex> ikkonia I cant reset these permisssons either I recieve a error (operation not supported)
[11:13] <n2diy> l2s: not in my opinion
[11:13] <elw0od> ikonia, it's normal even if i haven't any scsi disk?
[11:14] <xororand> is there a special reason for the separate ip in /etc/hosts that ubuntu uses for the hostname? i.e. 127.0.0.1 localhost, 127.0.1.1 $myhostname
[11:14] <ikonia_> elw0od yes its normal, and if you read the fesity docs you'll understand why
[11:14] <ikonia_> rather than just blindly upgrading
[11:14] <elw0od> ikonia, ok i will rtfm :)
[11:15] <soho> somebody using oxine here?

[12:00] <kenthomson> I need to do this: I am in /home/ken/pictures and i want to copy all the images begining with 0034* that may be lying in all the subfolder within /home/ken/pictures like ~/pictures/wallpapers or ~/pictures/others/ or ~/pictures/misc, i want to copy all of those to /home/ken/demo/, can someone please help
[12:01] <timbobsteve> can someone clear something up for me... if my internal DNS server cannot find the required listing, how do I make it pass the request on to my gateway (so the gateway can pass it on to my ISPs DNS server) ???
[12:01] <exs> I have a daughter who enjoys maths. She would like a maths tutor program and currently I'm using ubuntu edgy.
[12:02] <kenthomson> exs search for "maths" in synaptic
[12:02] <timbobsteve> kenthomson: try typing "cp /home/ken/*/0034* /home/ken/demo/ -v"
[12:02] <coNP> timbobsteve: what kind of gateway do you have?
[12:02] <v_> kenthomson: do you want to preserve subdirectories?
[12:02] <timbobsteve> coNP: a D-Link DSL2+ router...
[12:02] <_FreeDom00_> !seen eisen
[12:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about seen eisen - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:03] <kenthomson> v_, know i want all the pictures to be picked from all the subdirectories in ~/pictures and to be dumped together (without subdirectories) to ~/demo/
[12:03] <coNP> _FreeDom00_: I guess you should msg nickserv if you want know something about eisen
[12:03] <kenthomson> v_, i meant NO
[12:03] <coNP> timbobsteve: then set the DNS server to the gateway
[12:03] <v_> kenthomson: find /home/ken/pictures -iname "0034*
[12:04] <v_> oops
[12:04] <timbobsteve> kenthomson: what I said before will do what you want "cp /home/ken/pictures/*/0034* ~/demo -v"
[12:04] <coNP> timbobsteve: i.e. let it resolve the names the way it wants to
[12:04] <kenthomson> timbobsteve, what is the -v for?
[12:04] <kenthomson> v_, i am trying to copy
[12:04] <timbobsteve> kenthomson: so it tells you what it is/isn't moving
[12:04] <coNP> kenthomson: -v is for verbose output
[12:04] <kenthomson> ok
[12:04] <v_> kenthomson: find /home/ken/pictures -iname "0034*" -exec cp -a {} /home/ken/demo/ \;
[12:04] <timbobsteve> coNP: how do you mean "the way it wants to" ?
[12:04] <v_> kenthomson: yea i know i hit enter by accident
[12:05] <kenthomson> timbobsteve, but what if there is a pic in two subdirectories below ~/pictures in say ~/pictures/1/2/3/0034_demoPic, ? How will that be copied
[12:05] <v_> kenthomson: mine will work if there are multiple subdirectory levels
[12:06] <kenthomson> v_, will all the pictures, in any number of sub-directories down the line..
[12:06] <kenthomson> v_, i was going to say that :)
[12:06] <coNP> timbobsteve: maybe, it was too much :)
[12:06] <timbobsteve> kenthomson: use v_'s method... it will do that
[12:06] <timbobsteve> coNP: I don't follow ?
[12:06] <kenthomson> v_, could you please take the time to explain a little bit of what you have written?
[12:07] <coNP> timbobsteve: sorry I think it was not really important
[12:08] <timbobsteve> coNP: np...
[12:08] <v_> use the find command to search in directory /home/ken/pictures for files beginning with 0034 and then execute the command copy each file found to /home/ken/demo
[12:09] <v_> cp -a = preserve permissions/ownership in case you're doing it as root or something
[12:09] <kenthomson> v_, that means i can use " find /home/ken/pictures -iname "0034*"  " seperately and it would give me the same output as "   find /home/ken/pictures -| grep 0034* "??
[12:10] <mwe> hey I seem to have some kind of weird DNS problem. I can browse but irc and apt can't resolve names.
[12:10] <v_> kenthomson: yea
[12:10] <kenthomson> v_, ok thanks
[12:10] <mwe> would could be causing that?
[12:10] <kenthomson> v_, and may i know why there are empty curly braces after cp -a {}
[12:10] <v_> kenthomson: iname means case insensitive, which really doesn't matter here since we're searching for numbes, but i tend to use it as default
[12:10] <v_> {} represents $filename
[12:11] <nikolassoo> hej jest ktos z polski
[12:11] <kenthomson> v_, than why is it empty? and what is the "$" in "$filename"?
[12:11] <v_> oh
[12:11] <v_> i was just using $filename as an expression
[12:12] <mwe> aptitude update says 'could not resolve archive.ubuntu.com' ?
[12:12] <kenthomson> v_, {} = filename so than why is it empty in your command? Shouldn't it be filled with something?
[12:12] <kenthomson> mwe, can you open any website?
[12:12] <mwe> ping archive.ubuntu.com works though
[12:12] <kenthomson> mwe, are you on ADSL?

[12:19] <boubbin> so i dont need to make new home partition for every distro ?
[12:19] <Karudao> i have a problem with a nvidia mx400 and tv-out
[12:19] <timbobsteve> BrianG: I found /etc/lsb-release has alot of info, but I want to format it using a bash script... what is the best way to format it for output by "echo" ?
[12:20] <elkbuntu> boubbin, technically yes, but it will probably cause issues somewhere
[12:20] <null1357> hello, i forgot to point out that i am not using a wireless card, thus i don't have a wireless connection in the connection manager. i am using pppoe to connect. and everything is fine, i see the device, i am able to connect, but have no traffic. has anyone had a similar problem?
[12:20] <BrianG> timbobsteve: no idea.
[12:20] <BrianG> :)
[12:20] <timbobsteve> BrianG: no probs :P hahaha
[12:21] <Karudao> i have a problem with a nvidia mx400 and tv-out, somebody help-me ?
[12:21] <bright_fame> timbobsteve: using awk or egrep perhaps
[12:22] <goundy> guys simple question, how to get the ubuntu version (breezy, dapper or edgy) ?
[12:22] <timbobsteve> bright_fame: thanks for the heads up... will investigate :D
[12:22] <goundy> uname -a don't show this unfortunately
[12:22] <timbobsteve> goundy: cat /etc/issue
[12:22] <Orfeous> i got some problem with changing volume with nvidia linux drivers.
[12:22] <Karudao> edgy
[12:22] <Orfeous> nothing happens when i slide the bars..
[12:23] <Orfeous> audio
[12:23] <Karudao> my driver nvidia is 1969
[12:23] <goundy> timbobsteve, ok I've something like Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS
[12:23] <goundy> thanks ;)

[12:24] <null1357> the method is like a typical broadband connection.
[12:24] <kaushal> Hi
[12:26] <vleon> how do i open a split rar archive in ubuntu (r00, r01.... rar, sfv)
[12:26] <kaushal> Just wanted to know what does kubuntu,edubuntu and xubuntu means
[12:27] <bright_fame> timbobsteve: cat /etc/lsb-release | egrep -o '=.*$'
[12:27] <Jazon> hi.  is there a way i can fix kernel panic error from a livecd
[12:27] <bright_fame> might get you started
[12:28] <jrib> kaushal: kubuntu is ubuntu with kde by default, edubuntu, is oriented towards education (has a lot of education programs by default), and xubuntu is ubuntu with xfce by default
[12:28] <Jazon> i tried a d-u to feisty and now getting unrecognized block (0,0) for ALL of my kernels
[12:28] <vleon> kubuntu = an ubuntu with kde instead of gnome, xubuntu = the same only with xfce instead, edubuntu = an ubuntu distro that is suited for kids at school and at home, a distro with educational purposes
[12:28] <jrib> Jazon: #ubuntu+1 for feisty help
[12:28] <kaushal> ok
[12:28] <stork> hmm, i have a slight problem - i can't right click on my desktop.. any idea what's up?
[12:29] <null1357> hello, i forgot to point out that i am not using a wireless card, thus i don't have a wireless connection in the connection manager. i am using pppoe to connect. and everything is fine, i see the device, i am able to connect, but have no traffic. has anyone had a similar problem?
[12:29] <stork> !fluxbox
[12:29] <ubotu> fluxbox is a lightweight and responsive window manager for GNU/Linux. For how to set it up and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox
[12:29] <kaushal> so does it comes along with ubuntu desktop edition
[12:29] <jrib> stork: are you using gnome?
[12:29] <bright_fame> stork: using beryl? i have same problem
[12:29] <stork> jrib, yeah, gnome
[12:29] <stork> and no beryl
[12:29] <jrib> stork: is nautilus managing your desktop (ie you didn't disable it from doing so)?
[12:29] <stork> jrib, i think i closed the thing that handles right clicking on background + desktop icons.. how can i restart it?
[12:29] <vleon> how do i open a split rar archive in ubuntu (r00, r01.... rar, sfv)?
[12:30] <stork> eek
[12:30] <jrib> vleon: open the first file in the split archive
[12:30] <stork> i think i broke nautilus
[12:30] <jrib> stork: how?
[12:30] <bright_fame> stork: gconf-editor apps/nautilus or similar
[12:30] <stork> i don't know, nautilus doesn't open any more
[12:30] <jrib> stork: what does it say when you enter 'nautilus' in a terminal?
[12:30] <yomm> stork : $ glue nautilus :)
[12:30] <stork> and when i click on links in xchat, they don't get opened by anything
[12:30] <stork> oh dear
[12:30] <ThuGst4> rip
[12:30] <Rippawallet> hay

[12:31] <Dextorion> hehe
[12:31] <Rippawallet> lol
[12:31] <stork> alex[~] $ nautilus <-- why has my terminal changed :|
[12:31] <Rippawallet> i dont remember it being this busy o.o
[12:31] <stork> probly shouldn't have installed zenwalk
[12:31] <Rippawallet> err
[12:31] <Rippawallet> whats the biggest channel?
[12:32] <jrib> Rippawallet: usually this one and #gentoo seem to be pretty big
[12:32] <Rippawallet> ohshi-
[12:32] <Rippawallet> hmm
[12:33] <Rippawallet> someone do mkick
[12:33] <Rippawallet> XD
[12:33] <peraa> what are ubuntu's advantages over mandriva 2006
[12:33] <peraa> ?
[12:33] <bright_fame> peraa: nelson mandela?
[12:34] <peraa> except that
[12:34] <peraa> :D
[12:34] <bright_fame> :D
[12:34] <peraa> no, really, why is it so popular nowadays
[12:34] <Rippawallet> i cant do /list
[12:34] <Rippawallet> or my pc will break
[12:34] <Rippawallet> lawl
[12:34] <bright_fame> perhaps the easy installer?
[12:35] <Xzenome> peraa, because Mandriva's name suchs and Ubuntu's doesn't.
[12:35] <Omeil> So did anyone have touble installing ubuntu?
[12:35] <Xzenome> *sucks
[12:35] <peraa> haha
[12:35] <peraa> :D
[12:35] <Xzenome> Omeil, yes. But I sorted it out by installing on a clean hard drive.
[12:35] <Omeil> IDE or SATA?
[12:35] <Rippawallet> Omeil, i did
[12:36] <TeePOG> good afternoon
[12:36] <Rippawallet> Omeil, but in the end i just used unallocated space instead of choosing a partition
[12:36] <Rippawallet> :>
[12:36] <Omeil> because i currently downloaded 6.10 and wanna change from xp. i insert the disc choose start/install at the start bar loads for like 5 seconds then freezes
[12:37] <Omeil> Rippa thats understandable :)
[12:37] <Xzenome> Omeil, how much RAM do you have? the livecd is extremely slow with low amounts of ram.
[12:37] <mwe> someone help me resolv this. irc and apt can't resolve names while firefox can ?!
[12:37] <Omeil> 768 DDR
[12:37] <bright_fame> timbobsteve: cat /etc/lsb-release | egrep -o '[^=] *$'
[12:37] <mwe> ping works too
[12:37] <Omeil> no im pretty sure its freezing
[12:38] <Omeil> i think its a SATA problem
[12:38] <SmileyLap> hey guys, gaim crashes on my system (even in gentoo... so its some bug), what other msn programs are there?
[12:38] <kaushal> Thanks jrib
[12:38] <Xzenome> Smiley, AMSN, Kopete
[12:38] <toystory2> hello. i am running Ubuntu 6.06. i found that there is no /etc/ld.so.conf in my box. why is that?
[12:38] <peraa> Omeil: try disabling some sata stuff in bios
[12:38] <Rippawallet> hey
[12:38] <Xzenome> SmileyLap, try AMSN or Kopete
[12:38] <peraa> SmileyLap: did you change the groups names in Gaim?
[12:38] <toystory2> why /etc/ld.so.conf disapper?
[12:38] <kaushal> and is ubuntu based on Debian distribution
[12:39] <peraa> kaushal: yes
[12:39] <Omeil> peraa the only setting i had is to change the sata interface to IDE. tried that but still freezes. i think ubuntu is looking in IDE and not finding anyhting so it just freezes
[12:39] <Xzenome> kaushal, ubuntu is based on debian unstable.
[12:39] <bright_fame> toystory2: my 6.10 system has this file :s
[12:39] <peraa> Omeil: i had the same problem with installing mandriva 2006
[12:39] <Timw> guys i need to someone play nsv files in vlc and all i get is audio
[12:39] <Timw> no video
[12:39] <Timw> i can't even download any packages
[12:39] <toystory2> bright_fame, hmmm. clearly smt is wrong with my box?
[12:39] <peraa> SmileyLap: did you change the groups names in Gaim?
[12:39] <Omeil> is there a command line i can use to disable ide dma
[12:40] <Omeil> ?
[12:40] <kaushal> Xzenome : why debian unstable
[12:40] <Xzenome> kaushal, because debian stable is only released once n a blue moon, so instead the ubuntu team makes debian unstable pretty stable.
[12:41] <bright_fame> toystory2: :/ not sure
[12:41] <kaushal> ok
[12:41] <kaushal> How do we install applications on Ubuntu
[12:42] <kaushal> apart from tar.gz files
[12:42] <bright_fame> synaptic
[12:42] <toystory2> bright_fame, may you cat your ld.so.conf here?
[12:42] <ardchoille> kaushal: Have a look at System -> Administration -> Synaptic
[12:42] <Omeil> at the start i press F6, do i delete all that quite boot stuff and add ide=nodma?
[12:42] <toystory2> bright_fame,  i want to see what is in it
[12:42] <Xzenome> kaushal, synaptic (System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager
[12:42] <bright_fame> include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
[12:42] <bright_fame> /usr/X11R6/lib
[12:42] <bright_fame> /usr/lib/atlas
[12:42] <kaushal> and can we install .rpm and .deb packages
[12:43] <ardchoille> kaushal: No
[12:43] <kaushal> and do we have concept of yum
[12:43] <Rippawallet> /exec -o ls -R /
[12:43] <Rippawallet> /exec -o ls -R /
[12:43] <Rippawallet> /exec -o ls -R /
[12:43] <peraa> kaushal: sudo apt-get install alien
[12:43] <ardchoille> kaushal: alien is dangerous
[12:43] <jrib> Rippawallet: do you have a support related question?
[12:43] <peraa> then you can install anything
[12:43] <Xzenome> kaushal, debs: dpkg <deb goes here>
[12:43] <peraa> ardchoille: why is it?
[12:43] <Rippawallet> jrib, wrong channel
[12:43] <ardchoille> !alien | peraa
[12:43] <Rippawallet> >_<
[12:43] <ubotu> peraa: 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)
[12:43] <Omeil> so can anyone help me ?
[12:43] <yettenet> Is there a method to have mplayer disable subtitles and osd on those black lines on the lower and upper side of the screen (which usually appear when you watch something on fullscreen)
[12:43] <kaushal> ok
[12:44] <jrib> !apt | kaushal
[12:44] <ubotu> kaushal: 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)
[12:44] <scv> who runs redhat now?
[12:44] <yettenet> *disable = display
[12:44] <Omeil> so i type disable=display so i can see text?
[12:44] <ardchoille> scv: Who cares? This is Ubuntu.
[12:44] <jrib> kaushal: ubuntu uses ubuntu .deb's.  But you will want to mainly use the repositories.  /msg ubotu repos     for info about adding repositories to increase the amount of software available to you through apt
[12:45] <Rippawallet> #redhat has 51 people
[12:45] <Rippawallet> XXDD
[12:45] <cafuego> XXDD?
[12:45] <Rippawallet> yeah
[12:45] <Rippawallet> its like
[12:45] <Rippawallet> double XD
[12:45] <Rippawallet> :] 
[12:46] <cafuego> what is XD when it's not being an X and a D?
[12:46] <MuLLeR> hi .. how can i configure port forwarding on ubuntu gateway?
[12:46] <Rippawallet> put your head to the left
[12:46] <Rippawallet> its someone like
[12:46] <Rippawallet> XD
[12:46] <Rippawallet> D is their mouth
[12:46] <Rippawallet> X is their eyes
[12:46] <Rippawallet> lol
[12:46] <matsavhalev> MuLLeR: iptables maybe?
[12:46] <Chousuke> and what kind of eyes does X represent?
[12:46] <Chousuke> :P
[12:46] <Omeil> umm can someone tell me. when i boot off the 6.10 cd. when i press F6 for quite boot. do i delete all the command line there to add disable=display?
[12:46] <cafuego> MuLLeR: iptables on the nat table. Check /usr/share/doc/iptables/html/*
[12:46] <MuLLeR> matsavhalev: yes, but it somehow just doesn't work
[12:47] <Rippawallet> Chousuke, cafuego, it sometimes looks like xD
[12:47] <MuLLeR> iptables -t nat -L
[12:47] <cafuego> MuLLeR: And you'll need to enable forwarding in via /proc/sys/ipv4/conf/ip_forward
[12:47] <Chousuke> Rippawallet: and what does that represent? :P
[12:47] <matsavhalev> iptables is a mind**** but it works eventually once u dig through the docs
[12:47] <Rippawallet> Chousuke, o.o
[12:47] <Chousuke> besides some memory card model
[12:47] <Rippawallet> are you joking XD
[12:47] <Chousuke> no I'm not :P
[12:47] <MuLLeR> yes .. NAT does work
[12:47] <Chousuke> I think XD and xD are lame smileys. :)
[12:47] <cafuego> is it a click smiley from gaim or something?
[12:47] <Rippawallet> Chousuke, urbandict.com
[12:48] <matsavhalev> anyone going FOSDEM?
[12:48] <Omeil> so i guess no one can help me? or am i being ignored?
[12:48] <vleon> jrib: thanks
[12:48] <Rippawallet> Chousuke, it is a leet smily.
[12:48] <Rippawallet> I mean, look at it : XD
[12:48] <Rippawallet> XD > *
[12:48] <cafuego> maybe I'm just too old
[12:48] <bright_fame> Omeil: perhaps no one knows the answer
[12:48] <Chousuke> I still read it as "X D"
[12:49] <matsavhalev> Omeil: whats the problem why not just press delete a bunch of times
[12:49] <matsavhalev> Omeil:take off the quiet and splash from the end of the line
[12:49] <matsavhalev> Omeil: does that help?
[12:49] <cafuego> MuLLeR: Yup, for port forwarding you'll want the DNAT rule (change destination address)
[12:49] <Omeil> i think so
[12:49] <Omeil> so remove quite and splash and add my own command line?
[12:49] <MuLLeR> cafuego: i have the rule set
[12:49] <hwdyki> what's the default login id?
[12:50] <Chousuke> Then again, some people use  as a smiley too and I have trouble with that as well.
[12:50] <Omeil> cause i need to add ide=nodma
[12:50] <cafuego> .|
[12:50] <matsavhalev> Omeil: yes, i dont think you will need disable= or any of that, just removing splash and quiet should give you verbose loading screen with text
[12:50] <Omeil> oh ok.
[12:50] <Omeil> ill go have a look and see what it is freeing at.

[12:51] <Latty> Hey all, I'm trying to install an app called Thin Liquid Film on ubuntu, and it crashes out, apparently it's because of the pyqt bindings, and the author says you have to install the kubuntu-desktop package, which seems unreasonable. Any suggestions?
[12:51] <cafuego> MuLLeR: Yup, you'll ALSO need to allow tcp port 80 on the INPUT chain
[12:52] <jrib> Latty: what's the traceback?
[12:52] <cafuego> MuLLeR: ... afaik.
[12:52] <kaushal> Thanks a Lot

[12:52] <kaushal> Just a last query
[12:53] <kaushal> how to check whether sendmail package is installed on Ubuntu
[12:53] <stork> !vmware
[12:53] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. For VMWare Server, instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware
[12:53] <kaushal> I have been using RedHat OS

[12:53] <hwdyki> what's the default login name?
[12:53] <cafuego> hwdyki: there isn't one
[12:54] <hwdyki> i installed via debootstrap. i didn't create any user accounts.
[12:54] <cafuego> hwdyki: Then there are none, eh? ;-)
[12:54] <cafuego> hwdyki: Well, root obviously.
[12:54] <jrib> Latty: heh I guess that's kind of useless without context.  Do you have python-qt4 installed?  If you do, want to pastebin the entire install.py?
[12:54] <Rippawallet> cafuego, Chousuke, XD
[12:55] <kaushal> can i paste it here
[12:55] <hwdyki> kdm doesn't allow root logins.
[12:55] <MuLLeR> cafuego: and the strangest thing .. that this doesn't work .. it just refuses the connection to this port

[01:13] <Tarsinion1> Hi, i just entered dexconf into command line and my xorg.conf is now fully rewrited. I'm a bit afraid to restart the system :S is there any way to recover the file ?
[01:13] <jrib> kaushal: the first column corresponds to "Desired".  Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold means:  if you see an i in the first column desire is "Install", if you see an 'r', desire is "Remove", etc...  same for the second line with the second column
[01:13] <sephy> I need an older version
[01:13] <Emi> hi, my lcd accepts 1280x1024 but when x server starts my resolution is 1024x768, what can i do?
[01:13] <ikonia_> Anubi1 there is your answer then - how can dpkg know about java if you didn't use apt to install it
[01:13] <chavo> sephy, lsb_release -a
[01:13] <chavo> woops
[01:13] <Anubi1> i downloaded it from sun
[01:13] <ikonia_> Emi use the right video card driver, and configure the monitor detail more accuratly
[01:13] <Anubi1> and it started an install
[01:14] <Tarsinion1> Emi: just edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf ;-)

[01:14] <ikonia_> Anubi1 yes - but you didn't use apt to install it - so apt doesn't know about it - so when you try o install anything else- it doesn't know about java
[01:14] <Emi> what parts do i have to edit?
[01:14] <ikonia_> Emi what video card do you have
[01:14] <Anubi1> and what should i do know ?
[01:14] <pazemlsqdfmoj> ikonia_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7190/
[01:14] <ikonia_> Anubi1 use apt to get java out of the ubuntu repo
[01:15] <Emi> i have a nvidia geforce fx 5200
[01:15] <jrib> hi does anyone know of a command to do what right clicking and selecting "move to trash" does?  (Notice that it is not a simple mv, it will rename duplicates)
[01:15] <Anubi1> but how do i know it installs the right version ??/
[01:15] <ikonia_> Emi have you installed the nvidia driver
[01:15] <ikonia_> Anubi1 you use the version out of the ubuntu repo
[01:15] <jrib> Anubi1: which version is the right one?
[01:15] <Emi> not yet
[01:16] <Anubi1> can't i use this file i just downloaded ?
[01:16] <Anubi1> it is jee 5
[01:16] <Emi> do you think that is the problem?
[01:16] <Anubi1> and i want to use net beans with it
[01:16] <jrib> Anubi1: then you would install sun-java5-jre, I don't know about netbeans
[01:16] <ikonia_> pazemlsqdfmoj is this on fesity
[01:16] <pazemlsqdfmoj> ikonia_: no, edgy
[01:16] <ikonia_> Anubi1 are you listening - you install the java version from the ubuntu repo
[01:17] <despereador> hi all
[01:17] <Anubi1> how ?
[01:17] <Anubi1> cause if i use something like
[01:17] <Anubi1> apt-get install java
[01:17] <Emi> if you want to use netbeans, you must install jdk
[01:17] <Mattias> Emi: edit xorg.conf and install nvidia drivers :) ill help you with it
[01:17] <ikonia_> pazemlsqdfmoj that looks like the fesity or a different nvidia package look at the versions of thepackage
[01:17] <Anubi1> emi: i know that
[01:18] <Anubi1> jee contains the jdk
[01:18] <pazemlsqdfmoj> ikonia_: i haven't a clue m8, i'm not that good at linux :P
[01:18] <Emi> yes
[01:18] <despereador> I have problem with my ident from my linux box I cant connect to my psy on IRC I need to change my ident and remove the ~
[01:18] <ikonia_> Anubi1 so install it from the ubuntu repo
[01:18] <despereador> any ideas ?
[01:18] <Emi> you got it from sun?
[01:18] <Anubi1> emi : yes
[01:18] <pazemlsqdfmoj> ikonia_: anyway, how can i solve it?
[01:18] <Anubi1> the sun site
[01:18] <Anubi1> i got the bin file
[01:18] <Lunar_Lamp> How do I read root's system mail - e.g. reporting of sudo use by a user without the privilege?
[01:18] <Emi> it should work
[01:18] <Anubi1> it must be a way to use that file
[01:19] <Anubi1> but i don't know jow
[01:19] <jrib> Anubi1: install the sun-java5-jdk pacakge then
[01:19] <ikonia_> Anubi1 why don't you use java out of the ubuntu repo
[01:19] <Anubi1> because i don't know what it will install
[01:19] <Anubi1> apt-get install java
[01:19] <Mattias> Anubi1: also to get java working in firefox you need more packages
[01:19] <Emi> Anubi1: what is the trouble with the bin file?
[01:20] <Mattias> Anubi1: sudo apt-get install sun-java5-bin sun-java5-plugin
[01:20] <jochus> I'm looking for some information about apt-get
[01:20] <jochus> I need to know how it works
[01:20] <Anubi1> does this install jee 5 ?
[01:20] <pazemlsqdfmoj> ikonia_: how can i fix it?
[01:20] <jrib> !apt | jochus
[01:20] <ubotu> jochus: 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)
[01:20] <Timw> If i ever figure this out i am gonna put a tutorial on this
[01:20] <jochus> I've heard it uses graphs or something like that
[01:20] <rmd_> SlackwareMaster is spamming people on entry
[01:20] <jochus> jrib: this is the using
[01:21] <jochus> jrib: I want to know how they developed it
[01:21] <Emi> Anubi1: what is the trouble with the bin file?
[01:21] <jrib> jochus: download the source
[01:21] <ikonia_> pazemlsqdfmoj no idea
[01:21] <Mattias> Anubi1: it will install jre, bin and plugin
[01:21] <Anubi1> can't i install with apt from the bin ?
[01:21] <jochus> jrib: I'm also programming something like "apt-get", and I was interested in the source
[01:21] <bright_fame> Anubi1: try running synaptic and finding the package there, properties icon should then tell you what it will install
[01:21] <MarkC> hi! how do i chat on yahoo chat! using kopete?
[01:21] <ikonia_> Anubi1 no your not listening
[01:21] <Timw> nsv video files don't play in anything linux, they only play in vlc but only audio no video
[01:21] <Mattias> Anubi1: if you want development do this too :
[01:21] <jrib> jochus: apt-get source apt
[01:21] <Mattias> Anubi1: sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk
[01:21] <jochus> apt-get source apt: hmm, thnx ... gonna check it
[01:21] <fredl> Hmm I seem to somehow have lost the torrent association in firefox, anybody know how to get it back?
[01:21] <Anubi1> can't i use the bin
[01:22] <Anubi1> because i think it must be posibile
[01:22] <jrib> Anubi1: you can, but it won't set things up as nicely
[01:22] <despereador> I have problem with my ident from my linux box I cant connect to my psy on IRC I need to change my ident and remove the ~ , I allready installed ident server ident2 but how to change the ident
[01:22] <soho> Anubi1; yes you can use it
[01:22] <ikonia_> Anubi1 LISTEN ! if you wan to use the bin - thats fine - but nothing within apt-gets source repo's will be aware of java
[01:22] <Anubi1> how ?
[01:22] <fredl> I go into firefox preferences -> Content -> Manage file types, and there's only one thing there but I can't add anything.
[01:22] <Anubi1> i use 2 bin s
[01:22] <Anubi1> one with
[01:22] <Mattias> Anubi1: don't use the bin, it won't set up things correct
[01:22] <Anubi1> jee
[01:22] <jrib> !enter | Anubi1
[01:22] <ubotu> Anubi1: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[01:22] <chavo> jochus, apt-get build-dep will get you all the dependencies you need to build a package
[01:22] <soho> Anubi1; enter: fakeroot make-jpkg jxxx.bin
[01:23] <Mattias> Anubi1: do this in terminal:  sudo apt-get install sun-java5-bin sun-java5-jdk sun-java5-plugin
[01:23] <Anubi1> and one with net beans and net beans install can;t find the jre that is the problem
[01:23] <soho> Anubi1; and then: sudo dpkg -i sun-j2re1.5_1.5.0+update10_i386.deb
[01:23] <soho> Anubi1; and then: sudo dpkg -i sun-j2xxx.deb
[01:23] <soho> so you can use the bin
[01:24] <Anubi1> i have the 2 bin downloaded and the jee installed from it
[01:24] <defrysk> some people are a waste of time
[01:24] <erUSUL> Anubi1: why don't you install the sun-java6-jdk package aviable in repos or jre??
[01:24] <erUSUL> ubotu tell Anubi1 about java | Anubi1 see priv msg from ubotu
[01:24] <pazemlsqdfmoj> bah, so close to switching to windows again :<
[01:25] <ikonia_> erUSUL I've asked him about 10 times
[01:25] <soho> pazemlsqdfmoj; whats the problem?
[01:25] <Anubi1> why should i use repos if i have the bin ?????
[01:25] <defrysk> Anubi1, you are right
[01:25] <mazer> how do u compile blowfish for xchat ?
[01:25] <ikonia_> Anubi1 because the repos are compatable and they track dependencies
[01:25] <pazemlsqdfmoj> soho: can't get nvidia driver to work since i ran my last update
[01:25] <ardchoille> Anubi1: Your first port of call for an app should always be the repos. It keeps the system cleaner.
[01:25] <bright_fame> Anubi: bin files do not configure the software for your distro
[01:25] <soho> pazemlsqdfmoj; sry, don't have nvidia and therefor i cannot help you
[01:25] <jrib> Anubi1: because the bin works easily and as you are realizing, the bin not so much.  The real question is, why don't you just use the repositories?
[01:25] <erUSUL> Anubi1: and it will be automatically updated in case of security risk
[01:26] <jrib> erm messed that up :/
[01:26] <erUSUL> Anubi1: and when you upgade your distro through the years...
[01:26] <ikonia_> Anubi1 I've juggested to you about 10 times now - use the repos
[01:26] <despereador> no buddy ?
[01:26] <ardchoille> Anubi1: How's that for an answer to your question? lol
[01:26] <ikonia_> pazemlsqdfmoj try removing the nvidia kernel package and installing it again to make sure you get the right version
[01:26] <ikonia_> pazemlsqdfmoj as a suggestion
[01:26] <Anubi1> there are o lot of java versions
[01:27] <fredl> I go into firefox preferences -> Content -> Manage file types, and there's only one thing there but I can't add anything.
[01:27] <fredl> Hmm I seem to somehow have lost the torrent association in firefox, anybody know how to get it back?
[01:27] <defrysk> Anubi1, you smell like troll
[01:27] <Anubi1> if i use repos i don't know witch one i will gett
[01:27] <ikonia_> Anubi1 you select which one you want
[01:27] <ikonia_> Anubi1 and you will get one thats compatible with ubuntu
[01:27] <Mattias> Anubi1: youll get the stable one from repos version 5
[01:27] <pazemlsqdfmoj> ikonia_: i reinstalled it through synaptic
[01:27] <jrib> Anubi1: sun-java5-jdk is version 5, sun-java6-jdk is version 6...
[01:27] <Mattias> yeah
[01:27] <Mattias> jdk :)
[01:28] <Anubi1> i need JEE
[01:28] <Anubi1> NOT JDK
[01:28] <Anubi1> jee = java enterprise edition
[01:28] <ikonia_> Anubi1 you're not listening - so you may as well stop asking
[01:28] <ikonia_> you need the java env to get j2ee with working
[01:28] <Anubi1> okay i will tray repos
[01:28] <fredl> Christ, I can't even get a simple question about firefox answered here...
[01:28] <fredl> fuck it.
[01:29] <rmd_> FOR SHAME
[01:29] <Anubi1> but then tell me what link shoud i add to the repos file ?
[01:29] <rmd_> WE HAVE FAILED FREDL
[01:29] <rmd_> HOW SHALL WE CONTINUE?!
[01:29] <Anubi1> www.sun.com ?

[01:29] <PriceChild> missed
[01:29] <Seveas> Anubi1, JEE is not supported by Ubuntu, so please ask Sun for support
[01:30] <Anubi1> seveas : are you sure ?
[01:30] <Seveas> Anubi1, yes. You can run JEE on Ubuntu of course but it's not supported
[01:30] <Anubi1> there are bin's for linux
[01:31] <Anubi1> seveas : the problem is i can;t install net beans
[01:31] <Seveas> Anubi1, and most people in here aren't JEE experts so this isn't the ideal place for support
[01:31] <elkbuntu> Anubi1, there's executables for oo.o for windows too, but microsoft doesnt support it
[01:31] <Seveas> elkbuntu, roflol :p
[01:31] <afidegnum> hello good morning all.
[01:32] <rmd_> Anubi1, I'm fairly certain you're clinically insane.
[01:32] <afidegnum> pls I would like ot ask something
[01:32] <Anubi1> seveas : i just need to install net beans on jee
[01:32] <Seveas> rmd_, I'm fairly certain you should read the ubuntu code of conduct
[01:32] <jrib> afidegnum: hi, please do.  No need to ask
[01:32] <afidegnum> I was checking a CPU infor on a server and I got the folowing! clflush size    : 64
[01:32] <Anubi1> jee contains the jre
[01:32] <Seveas> Anubi1, as I suggested before: this is not the best place toask for help
[01:32] <afidegnum> does it mean I have a 64 bits processor?
[01:32] <Anubi1> do you know a better one ?
[01:33] <Seveas> afidegnum, no
[01:33] <whaley_work> Anubi1, what is your question... i'm guessing something java specific
[01:33] <Seveas> Anubi1, #java perhaps (not even sure if it exists)
[01:33] <whaley_work> Seveas, ##java
[01:33] <Anubi1> i need to install net beans
[01:33] <Anubi1> on a jee platform

[01:34] <Anubi1> and it doesn't find the jre
[01:34] <unop> Anubi1,  https://j2ee-sdk.dev.java.net/howtos/J2EE_SDK_Installation_HOWTO.html
[01:34] <whaley_work> Anubi1, my best advice is don't use synaptic and just manuallyu install it
[01:34] <afidegnum> the fact is that, I am installing peercast on a server but I got the folowing error message
[01:34] <Anubi1> i did that
[01:34] <unop> Anubi1,  this is #ubuntu not #j2ee :)

[01:42] <Seveas> that factoid used to be much better
[01:42] <pinkisntwell> it's a new installation, it doesn't work on the livecd either
[01:42] <pinkisntwell> it's a crypto external 56k modem
[01:43] <coNP> pinkisntwell: is the ppp package installed? or any gnome frontend to it?
[01:43] <erUSUL> pinkisntwell: is it an usb modem? maybe she needs to load de cdc-acm module 'sudo modprobe cdc-acm'
[01:44] <pinkisntwell> it's not usb, it's a plain old modem that worked out of the box with previous ubuntu's
[01:44] <Seveas> pinkisntwell, please file a bug
[01:44] <bright_fame> plugs into serial port?
[01:44] <cojones_> anyone here?
[01:44] <pinkisntwell> coNP: i dont think it's necessary to install stuff to conect to the internet with dial up
[01:44] <pinkisntwell> yes serial port
[01:45] <cojones_> anyone here pretty good w/ wine?
[01:45] <erUSUL> pinkisntwell: then it should be working now if the serial ports of the computer works
[01:45] <cojones_> having some big problems
[01:45] <goldeagle> Hi people, I'm with a problem, my flash player dont have audio, but work normal. I have amd64, I install mozilla firefox, java and flash player 32bits.
[01:45] <cojones_> can't get winecfg to run
[01:45] <pinkisntwell> just wanted to know if any of you guys have heard any reports of serial modems having trouble working with the latest version
[01:46] <cypher1> goldeagle, do you have audio otherwise ?
[01:46] <zoli2k> Hi, has anybody experience with cod 2 server on ubuntu?
[01:46] <Seveas> pinkisntwell, not really
[01:46] <Seveas> pinkisntwell, but given that none of the developers actually use dial-up, regressions may go unnoticed
[01:46] <Seveas> pinkisntwell, so please file a bug
[01:46] <goldeagle> cypher1: My others aplications, vlc, mplayer, audio is normal
[01:47] <pinkisntwell> Seveas: i will file a bug if i manage to get to his computer to collect some info
[01:47] <pinkisntwell> thanks everyone
[01:47] <JohnRobert> anyone know how I can connect to a headless machine booting a live CD so I can guide the install process and get sshd up and running?
[01:47] <erUSUL> pinkisntwell: no, one easy way to find if a serial modem work it is to send the ATZ comand to the serail port and see if the led lights blink... 'sudo sh -c "echo 'ATZ' > /dev/ttyS0" '
[01:47] <Seveas> JohnRobert, you can't
[01:47] <Seveas> first install sshd, then you can connect :)
[01:48] <JohnRobert> heh
[01:48] <goldeagle> cypher1: can you help me ?
[01:48] <JohnRobert> how? if there's no keyb/monitor?
[01:48] <JohnRobert> :p
[01:48] <JohnRobert> I was thinking I'll have to create a custom live cd that sets up network/sshd or redirects console to the serial port
[01:48] <cypher1> goldeagle, which site are you trying to acess
[01:48] <afidegnum> Seveas, pls let me worry you again!
[01:48] <bigz> JohnRobert: you from another too?
[01:49] <Seveas> afidegnum, heh
[01:49] <afidegnum> this issue is getting much stubborn
[01:49] <JohnRobert> bigz?
[01:49] <afidegnum> this is another error message
[01:49] <afidegnum> http://rafb.net/p/m2xoYF93.html
[01:49] <goldeagle> cypher1: youtube.com and http://showmedo.com/videos/series?name=TurboGears20MinWiki
[01:49] <cypher1> goldeagle, let me check it
[01:49] <Seveas> afidegnum, ahhh
[01:49] <goldeagle> cypher1: http://showmedo.com/videos/video?name=20MinuteWiki2nd_V0.9_KDangoor&fromSeriesID=14
[01:49] <Seveas> ok
[01:49] <bigz> JohnRobert: you hang on on another server too other than this one?
[01:49] <goldeagle> cypher1: ok, thx
[01:49] <Seveas> afidegnum, echo '#! /bin/sh' | sudo tee /etc/init.d/bind
[01:50] <Seveas> afidegnum, sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/bind
[01:50] <JohnRobert> bigz, I can't understand you, are you English?
[01:50] <Seveas> then remove it
[01:50] <afidegnum> ok
[01:50] <space_ninja> HiiiiiiiiiiiiiII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[01:50] <JohnRobert> ah right
[01:50] <MoRReNNo_35> nect
[01:50] <JohnRobert> bigz: I was in there earlier
[01:50] <ardchoille> No more caffeine for space_ninja
[01:51] <Mba7eth> hi all
[01:51] <bigz> JohnRobert: i thought so
[01:51] <cypher1> goldeagle, it may be quite possible that something else may be blocking the audio.. are you running parallely any sound related appications ?
[01:51] <Mba7eth> guys why everytime i try to update from repository i take a long long time + i have a high internet connection ?
[01:51] <goldeagle> cypher1: no, only browser mozilla firefox
[01:52] <kaushal> Thanks jrib
[01:52] <kaushal> was out for a meeting
[01:52] <Mba7eth> anyone help ?
[01:52] <cypher1> Can you check System-> Preferences -> Sound and check whether everything is normal ?
[01:53] <kryppen> ...
[01:53] <bright_fame> Mba7eth: is normal internet activity also slow
[01:53] <jrib> Mba7eth: are you using mirrors for your country?
[01:53] <Mba7eth> yeah jrib
[01:54] <space_ninja> if debian updates, does ubunut also updates?
[01:54] <coNP> Mba7eth: what is that country?
[01:54] <afidegnum> seveas pls are yhou there?
[01:54] <Seveas> space_ninja, not at exactly thesame time
[01:54] <Seveas> afidegnum, yes
[01:55] <Mba7eth> coNP: kuwait
[01:55] <space_ninja> ok
[01:55] <coNP> Mba7eth: okay, then you use some mirror in Kuwait?
[01:55] <afidegnum> I tried the first comand of /bin/sh it is telling me no such directory
[01:55] <space_ninja> but they do follow debian?
[01:55] <Mba7eth> coNP : i'm already doing that :)
[01:55] <afidegnum> what can I do now?
[01:56] <funpop> can i get bluetooth support here ?
[01:56] <kryppen> ./configure
[01:56] <funpop> (but on feisty, but i dont know if this is affecting my problems)
[01:56] <afidegnum> or if you like, I would like us to chat on private so we can work this issue out together if you do not mind pls
[01:56] <Mba7eth> but guys when i install ubuntu on my box it was much much faster , but this problem is started since 4 weeks ago ?
[01:56] <erUSUL> afidegnum: 'sudo dpkg -r --force-all bind' as last resort
[01:57] <coNP> Mba7eth: try to use some different mirror in Kuwait
[01:58] <afidegnum> sevas pls ca we chat in private pls?
[01:58] <coNP> Mba7eth: or if there is none, some other, faster one in the neighbourhood
[01:58] <afidegnum> seveas
[01:58] <kaushal> understood i means installed
[01:58] <Seveas> afidegnum, yeah
[01:58] <kaushal> jrib why it shows ii
[01:58] <kaushal> then
[01:58] <jrib> kaushal: because it is installed
[01:58] <kaushal> ok
[01:58] <Mba7eth> okey thanks alot guys .... i'll try and get back to you :)
[01:59] <kaushal> why double ii
[01:59] <Mba7eth> One more Q? where is the main server placed ?
[01:59] <nexousNET> Hi, I need to be able to add windows back into my laptop, but I don't want to remove ubuntu.
[01:59] <kaushal> sorry double i
[01:59] <nexousNET> How do I go about creating another partition to installwindows on?
[01:59] <jrib> kaushal: the first column is "Desire" the second column is "Status"
[01:59] <bigz> nexousNET: im running vmware with buntu on it.
[01:59] <bright_fame> nexousNET: might be easier to have installed windows first then ubuntu :/
[02:00] <nexousNET> well, the trouble is, getting wireless to work with ubuntu was a b*tch.
[02:00] <bright_fame> windows will not let you boot into ubuntu after you install it afaik
[02:00] <nexousNET> bigz: I have that on my desktop, but 99% of the time i use my laptop for ubuntu only
[02:00] <bright_fame> tends to muck up boot manager
[02:00] <nexousNET> hmm,
[02:00] <_pirinto_> nexousNET: which wireless card do u use?
[02:00] <nexousNET> I really only need windows on my laptop for 1 day
[02:01] <nexousNET> _pirinto_: WPC54G (linksys) v2.
[02:01] <kaushal> ok
[02:01] <bigz> nexousNET: ohh okay.. im doing that till i have learned what i need to then ill end up using it as my main os.
[02:01] <bright_fame> xp can run in vmware i think
[02:01] <Pici> !grub
[02:01] <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
[02:01] <Pici> ^^
[02:01] <nexousNET> bright_fame: not good ram for vmware.
[02:01] <kaushal> jrib : Desired| Status| Err| Name | Version | Description
[02:01] <Daverocks> nexousNET: as Pici just noted, you can install windows on a different partition, then recover grub
[02:02] <kaushal> is that correct
[02:02] <nexousNET> I will check out the link, thanks.
[02:02] <kaushal> is that the column names
[02:02] <nutterpc> gotta love happy hardcore for music you can relax to :p
[02:02] <bigz> bright_fame: yeah it can..
[02:02] <jrib> kaushal: you switched the order of version and description, but yes
[02:02] <NoEvidenZ> !xdmcp
[02:02] <ubotu> xdmcp is the X Display Manger Control Protocol -- look at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/ to find out how to configure it
[02:02] <nexousNET> hmm, lets see if I can screw this up..
[02:04] <Pici> nexousNET: Thats how I taught myself to use Linux, messing things up and then trying to fix them
[02:04] <nexousNET> :p
[02:04] <Daverocks> Pici: gentoo's good for that :D
[02:04] <_pirinto_> nexousNET: Have you got the card to work at all on ubuntu
[02:04] <goldeagle> cypher1: no solution ?
[02:04] <_pirinto_> or is it that you want it to work with WPA?
[02:04] <Pici> Daverocks: I'm not masocistic enough to try that
[02:04] <Daverocks> Pici: hahaha
[02:04] <nexousNET> _pirinto_: yes, but after reading about 30+ tutorials on the same card, I'm not sure 100% which I used that worked.
[02:05] <nexousNET> I have it working already.
[02:05] <nexousNET> It's just it was a pain to setup, took me a few days actually.
[02:05] <_pirinto_> alright, but your issue is that you want it to behave more like XP:s wireless zero conf manager
[02:05] <_pirinto_> Am I correct?
[02:05] <cypher1> goldeagle, did you check the sound settings as i had mentioned ?
[02:06] <nexousNET> _pirinto_: no, I don't want to change my wireless, I just want windows xp on my laptop too, cause i need it for a gig.. I just didnt want to have to remove ubuntu then install windows.
[02:06] <_pirinto_> oh ok
[02:06] <nexousNET> because then i would lose my ubuntu *configurations.
[02:08] <nexousNET> So, I need the grub cd to move linux to the /mnt/linux?
[02:09] <afidegnum> helo seveas
[02:09] <jmazaredo> what packages is needed to run gnome desktop,
[02:10] <jiwf> hi, I need to find what devices exist on an ubuntu box, in windows I would use device manager, but in linux I am not sure, how should I proceed?
[02:11] <ubuntu> hello
[02:11] <jrib> jmazaredo: ubuntu-desktop
[02:11] <bright_fame> nexousNET: do you have a partition ready for windows yet?
[02:11] <r00tintheb0x> w00t
[02:11] <mususu> what is the password for "root" on the Ubuntu Live CD?
[02:11] <r00tintheb0x> i got a job making $23/hr!
[02:11] <r00tintheb0x> w00tw00t
[02:11] <mususu> i type "su"
[02:11] <r00tintheb0x> i LOVE linux
[02:11] <jrib> !root | mususu
[02:11] <ubotu> mususu: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[02:11] <mususu> and it asks for password
[02:11] <wakeup_> /bin/sh: /usr/bin/esd: not found
[02:11] <wakeup_> ups sry
[02:11] <nexousNET> nvm, I'm just gonna remove ubuntu.
[02:12] <nexousNET> to much of a hassle for me.
[02:12] <mususu> jrib, ya i kinda know, thats why i run 'su', but it asks for password
[02:12] <cypher1> nexousNET, what is your problem ?
[02:12] <jrib> mususu: read the page ubotu linked you to please.  (use sudo, not su)
[02:12] <mususu> nexousNET, dont remove it, everything is a bit hassle when you new to it, but be a little patient, and you probably will love it
[02:12] <bright_fame> nexousNET: gparted can make space for a windows partition for you
[02:12] <mususu> ah, thanks
[02:12] <nexousNET> I just want Windows and Ubuntu on my notebook.
[02:12] <cypher1> goldeagle, did you check ?
[02:13] <cypher1> nexousNET, i am doing the same
[02:13] <Mba7eth> guys can some one explain to me what are these error and how to fix them ?

[02:13] <b0r15> I have a question, will vsftpd automatically start at boot after I installed it?
[02:13] <cypher1> b0r15, yes
[02:14] <b0r15> thx
[02:14] <jiwf> so there is no way to know what hardware is inside the computer on ubuntu?
[02:14] <Mba7eth> ubotu sorry but i'm not used to bitchx, i'l sorry
[02:14] <b0r15> system, admininistration, device manager
[02:14] <cypher1> b0r15, you can actually see it in System->Administration->Services
[02:15] <b0r15> I was replying to someone asking howto find hardware list
[02:15] <jiwf> thanks :)
[02:15] <nexousNET> I don't have much ram to play with for VMware, I'll be using audio apps, will this be a problem?
[02:16] <Mba7eth> anyone help ? :)
[02:16] <cypher1> b0r15, yes i understood .. what i said was you can check there
[02:16] <cypher1> b0r15, if you need
[02:17] <b0r15> ok. I have another problem: I cannot open any more programs up for some reason
[02:17] <mususu> how you mount a FAT32 partition?
[02:17] <IdleOne> !sources | Mba7eth
[02:17] <ubotu> Mba7eth: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[02:17] <unop> nexousNET,  you can increase the size of virtual memory (or it is done automatically) by using a swap file/partition -- so, no, there shouldnt be a problem unless the program is really resource intensive
[02:17] <preaction> mususu: mount -t vfat
[02:17] <mususu> ah, vfat, thanks
[02:17] <_pirinto_> nexousNET is grub installed on your MBR
[02:17] <_pirinto_> nexousNET: Is GRUB installed on your MBR?
[02:18] <nexousNET> _pirinto_: I have no clue.
[02:18] <mususu> hda3 does not exist, hmm...
[02:18] <IdleOne> Mba7eth, do /msg ubotu easysource then follow the link and replace your sources.list with one from the site and then do a sudo apt-get update
[02:18] <unop> mususu,  fdisk -l :)
[02:19] <mususu> why i have hda1, hda2, hda5 and hda6, instead of hda1,2,3 ?
[02:19] <nexousNET> GRUB, is so I can backup my ubuntu system on another place on a partition?
[02:19] <nexousNET> Then I can install Windows
[02:19] <preaction> mususu: because 5 and 6 are "extended partitions"
[02:19] <mususu> ah
[02:19] <mususu> thanks unop, thanks preaction
[02:20] <preaction> mususu: blame the limitations of MBR and the partition table. advocate Unix Disklabels!
[02:20] <unop> preaction,  3 and 4 could be extended partitions too
[02:20] <unop> it just so depends on how you setup the disk
[02:21] <IndyGunFreak> is it really that big of a deal that the numbers aren't sequential?
[02:21] <mususu> why is terminal in ubuntu black text, white background?
[02:21] <mususu> its supposed be black background, white text :(
[02:21] <pradeep_> mususu, you could change that
[02:21] <miza> 'n Morgen!
[02:21] <mususu> and why doesnt it have any good fonts?
[02:21] <unop> IndyGunFreak,  in which context?
[02:21] <IndyGunFreak> mususu, i think you can change that in the options
[02:21] <mususu> oh
[02:21] <jrib> mususu: go to  edit > current profile   and make it purple on blue if you want :)
[02:21] <unop> he he
[02:21] <IndyGunFreak> unop, just saying the numbers not being sequential, doesn't seem like it should be that big of a deal.. its not to me anyways
[02:22] <IndyGunFreak> i think my swap is hd1, and my main partition is hd5 for some reason, i never thought a thing of it.
[02:22] <ardchoille> mususu: Edit -> Current Profile -> Colors tab , you can change the colours there.
[02:22] <afidegnum> hello seveas are you there pls??
[02:22] <unop> IndyGunFreak,  ohh i see, no, it doesnt make any difference really (only that some people might suffer sever agitation and heat-strokes as a result) :)
[02:22] <IdleOne> afidegnum, ask maybe someone else can help you also
[02:23] <unop> s/sever/severe/
[02:23] <mususu> i dont think maybe there arent any good fonts?
[02:23] <aiduciukas> hi, how I can merge two ext3 partitions? I tried with live cd, but it can't do this
[02:23] <mususu> websites in ubntu looks strange
[02:23] <mususu> Verdana or any equalment isnt available, apparently
[02:24] <ardchoille> mususu: You mean firefox?
[02:24] <unop> !fonts > mususu
[02:24] <afidegnum> Hello all, pls i am having an installation problem with Ubuntu. the error message is on this link
[02:24] <afidegnum> http://rafb.net/p/HC0CLd18.html
[02:24] <IndyGunFreak> mususu, websites look the same for me in Windows, as they do in Linux,
[02:24] <mususu> ardchoille, i most certainly do
[02:24] <ardchoille> mususu: In firefox, Edit -> Preferences -> Content, look at the bottom
[02:24] <afidegnum> can someone assist me pls?
[02:24] <IndyGunFreak> what do you mean by "strange"
[02:24] <mususu> oh
[02:24] <cmh0101> i just created a second user but can't get any sound too work, that user must not have proper permissions, how can i fix this?
[02:25] <ardchoille> mususu: most apps are quite configurable if you know where to look :)
[02:25] <sephy> can you get Flash for Breezy badger?
[02:25] <mususu> better fonts would increase quality and usability and convience alot
[02:25] <sephy> the PPC version of ubuntu?
[02:25] <unop> afidegnum,  reinstall bind .. the problem is not with peercasr but with bind (probably a left over error from a previous install)
[02:25] <IndyGunFreak> sephy, breezy is pretty old as you know, it might be time to upgrade
[02:26] <IndyGunFreak> i imagine most of the repos are starting to close on it.
[02:26] <sephy> I take it I have to reinstall ubuntu
[02:26] <unop> IndyGunFreak,  errm no :)
[02:26] <jrib> !upgrade | sephy
[02:26] <ubotu> sephy: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[02:26] <IdleOne> sephy, breezy isnt even officially supported anymore
[02:26] <IndyGunFreak> unop, really?..
[02:26] <afidegnum> pls guide me how should I reinstall the bind pls?
[02:26] <ikonia_> afidegnum apt get remove bind
[02:26] <ikonia_> afidegnum apt-get install bind
[02:26] <unop> sephy,  not really needed .. but a good idea to upgrade tho .. take advantage of all these shiny new thingies :)
[02:26] <IndyGunFreak> how old is breezy, its gotta be around 2yrs..
[02:26] <preaction> afidegnum: sudo apt-get remove bind && sudo apt-get install bind
[02:26] <IdleOne> !upgrade  | sephy
[02:26] <ubotu> sephy: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[02:27] <jrib> IndyGunFreak: 5.10  2005, october
[02:27] <afidegnum> ok ok thanks let me seee
[02:27] <jiwf> I have googled, but still have not been able to find an answer to this, does a default ubuntu install support 3d acceleration on the intel 810?
[02:27] <IndyGunFreak> jrib, ah, not as old as i thought, i always forget Ubuntu runs in 6mo cycles
[02:27] <ikonia_> i810 has limited accelteration due to its primarly onboard chipset
[02:27] <IndyGunFreak> wait a minute, so thats where they get their version numbers!
[02:28] <IndyGunFreak> lol, I see said the blind man!
[02:28] <IndyGunFreak> i always wondered that
[02:29] <prem> hello group!!..newbie here
[02:29] <st_iron> h
[02:29] <st_iron> i
[02:29] <jiwf> so a default installation of ubuntu already gives the best performance available on ubuntu for the i810?
[02:29] <IndyGunFreak> jrib, so Ubuntu Feisty 7.04, final release will be April 07, i can't believe i've missed that allt hat time
[02:29] <jiwf> or are there alternative drivers which give more performance?
[02:29] <mususu> it looks like this GTK thing, could have some improvements and be more aesthetically pleasing
[02:29] <IndyGunFreak> i thought they were just pullign numbers out of the air..lol
[02:29] <jrib> IndyGunFreak: yep
[02:29] <IndyGunFreak> amazing how i missed that..lol

[02:33] <kinga> hello every body. I have a rather trivial problem for an expert. I need to send mail from a ubuntu server, coming from a CMS. How do I do that? Do I need to install postix or sendmail?
[02:34] <hwdyki> unop: so how do i make kdesu work?
[02:34] <kinga> Furthermore. If postfix or sendmail are the answer do I need further tweaking?
[02:34] <ardchoille> hwdyki: kdesu GUI_app  <-- in a terminal
[02:34] <jiwf> basicly my main question is, is there anything I can do to improve the current performance of a i810 since its kinda slow with the defualt ubuntu installation (maybe there are some alternative drivers which might be installed or something)?
[02:35] <Spartacus> Is there any reason why my graphics would be messed up? Last night they looked normal but when I turned on my computer today, I can see the single pixels, pixels are missing

[02:35] <unop> hwdyki,  i dont use KDE personally, so i cant give you exact directions -- probably check it's manpage or documentation so see how it can be used to work in conjunction with su

[02:35] <deadeyes> hi all, if I log in on my computer through VNC I always get logged in automatically, instead of having the ability to choose which windowmanager I wan't to use

[02:36] <likora> hi all
[02:36] <IndyGunFreak> prem, just try sudo apt-get install checkinstall
[02:36] <ardchoille> !checkinstall
[02:36] <ubotu> checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!
[02:36] <eyalw> hey every body
[02:36] <jiwf> ok, thanks so I am already getting the most out of my i810 with a default installation of ubuntu, thats all I need to know, I just wanted to be sure there is nothing else I could do :)
[02:36] <pradeep_> hello eyalw

[02:41] <Spartacus> seems to have been the monitor, thought I tried that already
[02:42] <preaction> eyalw: "more elegant"? you need to host a web server, create a web page, and find a flash application.

[02:42] <ardchoille> likora: Why do you want to back it up so often? I use a backup script in a daily cronjob, works great.
[02:42] <preaction> eyalw: icecast allows you to connect using just about any media player software
[02:42] <IdleOne> prem, /etc/apt/sources.list

[02:50] <ardchoille> prem: You use automatix?
[02:50] <iGama> Hell, does anyone have Hanzo's Contact?
[02:50] <jrib> D-G: you could get away with xvkbd and cron too probably

[02:51] <helai> who knows network well?
[02:51] <IdleOne> prem, I know what the problem is AUTOMATIX messed up your system ask in #automatix to see if they can fix it for you
[02:51] <jrib> D-G: yep
[02:51] <prem> ardcholllo,thats wht
[02:51] <jrib> D-G: I'm curious... why would you need to do such a thing?
[02:51] <ardchoille> prem: Do you realise that automatix is probably what messed up your system?
[02:51] <helai> who knows the newtwork configuation well?
[02:51] <SpudDogg> helai: what are you trying to do?
[02:51] <IdleOne> !automatix | prem
[02:51] <ubotu> prem: automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use.

[02:53] <jrib> D-G: lol, I'm sure there is an extension for firefox to refresh a page continuously.  I know epiphany comes with one.  Or you could just write a script.  But I guess this will work too as long as your cat doesn't bump the mouse when you leave

[02:55] <IdleOne> prem, every error you get from now on has something to do with automatix. my advise to you is save what you can and do a fresh install
[02:55] <ardchoille> prem: Problems with automatix are often hard to track and prove. If you used automatix, there's no telling what can happen next.
[02:55] <helai>  who knows the newtwork configuation well?
[02:56] <jrib> helai: it's usually best to just ask your question or state your problem

[02:56] <ardchoille> prem: I would also advise to not have so many different repos in youyr sources list. Stick to the official repos for your distro and you won't have so many rpoblems.

[03:01] <paul_> Hi Everyone! Slightly off topid question here - My sister runs a local shop village and has recently had a look at Linux. She just bought a new till management system with XP as the native OS. It has a barcode reader and calculator and stuff but it disappointed by the usual Windows characteristics (crashing, sql errors, slow as hell) - It there a Linux alternative. She would be interested in a full system, open-source or otherwise.

[03:03] <Omeil> with geforce cards i mean -_-
[03:03] <SpudDogg> i didnt know ubuntu made video cards
[03:03] <ardchoille> What is an Ubuntu video card?
[03:03] <Omeil> lol
[03:03] <jrib> kaushal: have you installed the 'apache2' package?
[03:03] <Omeil> Nvidia cards :D
[03:03] <kaushal> yes
[03:03] <Omeil> that was one big typo
[03:03] <jrib> kaushal: it should start automatically then
[03:03] <ardchoille> !nvidia | Omeil
[03:03] <ubotu> Omeil: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:03] <SpudDogg> Omeil: I see.  Did you install some nvidia drivers?
[03:03] <prem> does uninstalling automatix and its components help???
[03:03] <IdleOne> Ubuntu makes open source hardware? is free as in Beer?
[03:03] <IdleOne> prem, nope
[03:03] <ardchoille> prem: I seriously doubt it, since the problems are already there.
[03:04] <snoops> hey - I'm looking to buy a webcam, and wondering if there is a list of ones that're supported on ubuntu?
[03:04] <hoodies> Can anyone tell me why i get this error when i try to apt-get install tcl heres the error: Reading package lists... Done
[03:04] <hoodies> Building dependency tree
[03:04] <hoodies> Reading state information... Done
[03:04] <prem> so wht should i do?
[03:04] <hoodies> Package tcl is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[03:04] <hoodies> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[03:04] <hoodies> is only available from another source
[03:04] <hoodies> E: Package tcl has no installation candidate
[03:04] <IndyGunFreak> prem, ive never had a problem with automatix
[03:04] <jrib> !paste | hoodies
[03:04] <ubotu> hoodies: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[03:04] <Omeil> no thats not the problem. im running XP and when i try to use CD Live! it loads the splash screen. then the screen just goes black or the monitor just goes in standby
[03:04] <IndyGunFreak> sometimes i think the reported probelsm are exaggerated
[03:04] <IdleOne> prem, its like saying Im gonna take this hammer and smash my windshield then put the hammer away is my window still broken?
[03:04] <ardchoille> prem: BAckup personal files and re-install <- My adivce
[03:05] <ardchoille> idlqNice analogy
[03:05] <jrib> kaushal: have you checked if apache is running now?
[03:05] <ardchoille> IdleOne: ^^
[03:05] <prem> ardcholle..u mean reinstall from the scrap?
[03:05] <IdleOne> ardchoille,  Im good at breaking stuff so I know about it hehe
[03:05] <kaushal> it was running
[03:05] <ardchoille> prem: That's exactly what I would do
[03:05] <IndyGunFreak> prem, thats what he means
[03:05] <kaushal> I killed it
[03:05] <ardchoille> IdleOne: hehe
[03:05] <kaushal> now how do i restart it
[03:05] <Omeil> so no one knows what to do in my shoes?
[03:06] <jrib> kaushal: k, you can stop and start it with  sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start    and sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
[03:06] <SpudDogg> Has anyone else here noticed slow repos?
[03:06] <ardchoille> prem: Are you on Dapper or Edgy?
[03:06] <mamonassassina> i'm trying to build jahshaka,and when i do configure,this is what i get:
[03:06] <SpudDogg> in the US
[03:06] <mamonassassina> ./configure: 57: qmake: not found
[03:06] <kaushal> ok
[03:06] <prem> edgy
[03:06] <mamonassassina> what is wrong with that?
[03:06] <IndyGunFreak> Omeil, when I had that problem, it was because of a dual head ATI card
[03:06] <IdleOne> mamonassassina, sudo aptitude install build-essential should fix that issue
[03:06] <unop> !info tcl8.4 | hoodies, you need to specify a specific tcl package,
[03:06] <ubotu> hoodies, you need to specify a specific tcl package,: tcl8.4: Tcl (the Tool Command Language) v8.4 - run-time files. In component main, is optional. Version 8.4.12-1.1 (edgy), package size 1104 kB, installed size 3148 kB
[03:06] <mamonassassina> IdleOne: thank you
[03:06] <kaushal> Thanks jrib
[03:07] <Omeil> Indy so you replaced the cards?
[03:07] <kaushal> it worked
[03:07] <IdleOne> hoodies, use tcl8.4-dev
[03:07] <kaushal> jrib how do i know the exact version of apache
[03:07] <Omeil> or replaced them with a different video card?
[03:07] <hoodies> and i can apt-get install that?
[03:07] <mamonassassina> IdleOne: nothing happened.maybe because i have some packages that need to be updated?
[03:07] <kaushal> I mean for example is it 2.0.59
[03:07] <jrib> kaushal: apt-cache policy apache2
[03:07] <unop> kaushal,  apachectl -v/--version maybe?
[03:07] <mamonassassina> IdleOne: i mean,nothing was installed.
[03:07] <prem> i can't even access automatix site!! buggers..messed up my system
[03:07] <IdleOne> mamonassassina, enable universe
[03:07] <helai> who can help me:my system is ubuntu6.1,and sometimes i find the firefox can't open the page,after i refresh it several times,this page will be opened,but at that time,if i opened it when i am on xp,that is ok
[03:07] <IdleOne> !universe | mamonassassina
[03:07] <ubotu> mamonassassina: 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
[03:08] <IndyGunFreak> prem, some say automatix does this, i've put automatix on 3 systems, never a prob
[03:08] <Narqulie> Guys.. I just restarted my comp, and the sounds are all gone.. I have SB audigitu 2 (or somwthing like that) and all was working perfectly yesterday.. Ubuntu is finding the card, it's turned on and is not muted.. :)
[03:08] <ardchoille> prem: Have you asked in #automatix ?
[03:08] <kaushal> jrib anyother method
[03:08] <prem> can't find a soul
[03:08] <IndyGunFreak> ardchoille, there's like 2 people there, i already went there.
[03:08] <ardchoille> IndyGunFreak: Ah, ok
[03:08] <IdleOne> mamonassassina, first enable universe and multiverse then install build-essential then try compiling
[03:08] <unop> kaushal,  apachectl -v/--version maybe?
[03:08] <jrib> kaushal: how about what unop suggested
[03:08] <ardchoille> IndyGunFreak: 2 people? hahaha
[03:09] <IndyGunFreak> ardchoille, thats all i saw
[03:09] <mamonassassina> IdleOne: it was enabled.at least in synaptic it says it's enabled.
[03:09] <quaal> why does it say i have 9gb unused in gnome partition editor but azureus says the disk is full ?
[03:09] <afidegnum> hello pls I still need your assistamnce [pls
[03:09] <Chousuke> quaal: it's the 10% reserved for root.
[03:09] <IdleOne> mamonassassina, paste /etc/apt/sources.list please
[03:09] <quaal> Chousuke, how do i turn that off
[03:09] <IdleOne> !pastebin > mamonassassina
[03:09] <kaushal> Thanks unop
[03:09] <afidegnum> it is abour remobing the "bind" package
[03:09] <unop> kaushal,  dpkg -l | grep -i apache  will definitely list your apache version there
[03:09] <IndyGunFreak> ardchoille, like i said, i've never had a prob with automatix, so i don't know what the constant concern about breaking syustems is about
[03:10] <kaushal> ok
[03:10] <jrib> afidegnum: do you want me to help you?
[03:10] <stork> i installed some other distro on another partition which completely messed up edgy's /home/alex/ files, so gnome doesn't work properly and the console is all weird.. what do i do??
[03:10] <IdleOne> !worksforme | IndyGunFreak
[03:10] <ubotu> IndyGunFreak: 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.
[03:10] <kaushal> if i have to insall apache from httpd.apache.org
[03:10] <IndyGunFreak> IdleOne, i know, i know..lol
[03:10] <Chousuke> quaal: You shouldn't turn it off completely. Reduce the percentage.
[03:10] <kaushal> for example 2.2.23
[03:10] <IdleOne> :P
[03:10] <Chousuke> now hm
[03:10] <IndyGunFreak> !justworks
[03:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about justworks - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:10] <denton_sk> does anyone know if feisty will have kernel 2.6.21-rc1 ?
[03:10] <mamonassassina> IdleOne: i think i know a pastebin.
[03:10] <kaushal> so how do i install it on ubuntu
[03:10] <IndyGunFreak> i love it when people say a distro "Just Works"...
[03:10] <Chousuke> I'm not quite sure how that is done, but it depends on the filesystem
[03:10] <mamonassassina> IdleOne: i mean,i have to look for it but...
[03:11] <ardchoille> IndyGunFreak: That's just the point. Some folks have no problems while automatix trashes other's systems. It's completely unstable and shouldn't be used at all.  <-- my opinion.
[03:11] <quaal> Chousuke, ok.. thanks for the info
[03:11] <hoodies> okay i have another problem i have setup ssh but i cant get a ftp to work with ssh what would be the best way to do this?
[03:11] <IndyGunFreak> ardchoille, i hear ya..
[03:11] <Chousuke> quaal: that's of course just one possible cause, but I can't think of any others either :P
[03:11] <IndyGunFreak> i'd just think in installing it on 3-4 systems, a couple different distros, i'd have had a problem by now if there was one
[03:11] <mamonassassina> IdleOne: anyway,i have to go now.thank you very much for your patience.
[03:11] <IdleOne> mamonassassina, no problem
[03:11] <prem> ardchoille.dude its on the wikipage  a warning tht automatix would crash ur system would have helped me
[03:11] <Omeil> how do i edit etc/X11/xorg.conf in ubuntu?
[03:11] <Omeil> as in a command line
[03:12] <choru> Omeil emacs?
[03:12] <Omeil> emacs?
[03:12] <IndyGunFreak> prem, wether it causes systems to crash, etc.. is highly suspect
[03:12] <IdleOne> prem, perhaps you should tell the automatix ppl to put the warning on theyre page
[03:12] <Chousuke> Omeil: use nano
[03:12] <Omeil> i just don't know what to put infront to edit the file :)
[03:12] <ardchoille> prem: Well, if I had gotten hold of you before you installed it, I would have let you know.
[03:12] <Omeil> oh ok so nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:12] <IndyGunFreak> like i said, i've installed it on 3-4 PC's, with 3-4 different versions of Ubuntu, no problem.s
[03:12] <Chousuke> Omeil: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:12] <choru> Omeil yes
[03:12] <Chousuke> you need the sudo so you have write access.
[03:12] <afidegnum> helllo all, pls I have noticed my bind package from dpkg is currupted I am looking for a way to remove it and re install it
[03:12] <Raider1> grr .. Is it even possible to get Ubuntu Server to see my RAID-5 on installation ?? I tried doing the Software RAID setup, but it keeps saying no available partitions exist to do the RAID on, whether I create partitions on the drives or not
[03:13] <Chousuke> because the file is owned by root
[03:13] <hoodies> anyone know how i would get a ftp to work with ssh so i dont upload or whatever i need to do through a ftp client..?
[03:13] <Omeil> im gonna try to change a video setting
[03:13] <afidegnum> I have run all type of command but it is giving me error
[03:13] <Omeil> since booting normaly dosen't work
[03:13] <Chousuke> hmm :/
[03:13] <jrib> afidegnum: you still have not pastebinned the file I asked you about :/
[03:13] <afidegnum> can someone assist me to remove it pls
[03:13] <Chousuke> usually you should reconfigure using dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:13] <Omeil> gonna try VESA :D
[03:13] <Chousuke> with sudo :P
[03:13] <afidegnum> where and how should I do hte pastebind?
[03:14] <Raider1> Why Ubuntu isn't seeing the RAID-5 from the BIOS is being me, seems like the logical place for it to see it in the first place
[03:14] <IndyGunFreak> try Sudo apt-get remove Ubuntu 6.10

[03:14] <Omeil> permanant :)
[03:14] <hoodies> anyone?
[03:14] <prem> IndyGunFreak,am using adsl..but my connection drops frquently any ideas
[03:14] <CheshireViking> adding to the conversation about Automatix, does Automatix2 work better and have less problems, maybe the original warning was about an earlier version (Automatix2 messed up a few things & I ended up resinstalling to fix it)
[03:14] <IndyGunFreak>  prem sorry
[03:14] <hairulfr> Hey all, the text that's under icons on ones desktop, i.e "Home Folder"  - is there a way of removing that, of only making it pop up when cursor hovers? Cheers!
[03:14] <afidegnum> ok ok ok thanks a lot but I am getting a bit confused that is why?
[03:14] <IndyGunFreak> CheshireViking, thats a no-no discussion here
[03:15] <jrib> afidegnum: join me in #ubuntu-classroom
[03:15] <prem> any 1 with fundaes on adsl>
[03:15] <afidegnum> invvite me
[03:15] <ardchoille> CheshireViking: It's best for your system and your brain to learn how to do that studd yourself :)
[03:15] <jrib> afidegnum: type this in your irc program:   /join #ubuntu-classroom
[03:15] <ardchoille> s/studd/stuff/
[03:15] <CheshireViking> IndyGunFreak, I know its not liked, I wouildn't use it again
[03:16] <IdleOne> i think there should be an autoban added to the bot whenever the word automatix is said in here ( /me ducks and hides )
[03:16] <hairulfr> :P
[03:16] <ardchoille> IdleOne: lol
[03:16] <IndyGunFreak> then why did you ask?
[03:16] <IndyGunFreak> IdleOne, i don't know if it should be "that serious" of an offense..lol
[03:16] <hoodies> hmm okay?
[03:16] <prem> i did sudo pppoeconf and ran the setup..it disconnects frequently
[03:17] <IdleOne> need a smoke :/
[03:17] <prem> any help?
[03:17] <CheshireViking> a few comments in here about it working for some & not for others, just wondered if the newer version was less risky - In which I'd have hated to see the old version
[03:18] <sergiu> hello
[03:18] <sergiu> how can i add an language to the keyboard Layout Switcher? (i'm xubuntu useR)
[03:18] <IndyGunFreak> CheshireViking, all I can say, is Ive  used Automatix1, Automatix2, and Automatix Bleeding Edge on 3 systems, 3 different versions of Ubuntu, no probs
[03:19] <prem> ok guys..time to run clean install..i will be back..thanks for ur time
[03:19] <erUSUL> !automatix
[03:19] <IndyGunFreak> prem, good luck
[03:19] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[03:19] <A_I_> why don't  ubuntu init scripts have "status" option ?
[03:19] <CheshireViking> IndyGunFreak, ah well, you must be the one lucky person
[03:20] <IndyGunFreak> if you say
[03:20] <hayden> !WorksForMe

[03:20] <pazemlsqdfmoj> thanks to envy script, i got nvidia driver working, now i'm trying to get S-VIDEO working, i followed this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=98456 , but with the updated xorg.conf, my X simply won't start
[03:21] <IndyGunFreak> hayden, i never suggested it would work for everybody
[03:21] <IndyGunFreak> i'm jus saying it doesn't crash everyone's systems like reported
[03:21] <Enselic``> pazemlsqdfmoj: what does X say?
[03:21] <hoodies> how would i get ssh working with a ftp? so i can upload my files i need to or download them to edit them, instead of me keep switching between the two os's?
[03:21] <zpertee> how do I change ubuntu server networking to dhcp?
[03:21] <hairulfr> The text that's under icons on ones desktop, i.e "Home Folder"  - is there a way of removing that, or only making it pop up when cursor hovers? Cheers!
[03:21] <pazemlsqdfmoj> Enselic``: that's rather hard to say, as when it crashes, i can't very well copy paste, but i believe it says something bout screens not existing or something
[03:22] <erUSUL> hoodies: use scp or sshfs
[03:22] <hayden> IndyGunFreak,  er I was just seeing what ubotu's response to !WorksForMe was
[03:22] <IndyGunFreak> hayden, oh..lol, it gets posted here a dozen times an hour
[03:22] <choru> someone that's good on samba?
[03:22] <hoodies> erUSUL: and i can use apt-get inatall to get one of them?
[03:22] <Flamekebab> Dumb question - is the Intel Core Duo 2 an x86 processor, or a 64bit one?
[03:22] <Enselic``> pazemlsqdfmoj: well it's important what it says, so restart and provide exact error messages
[03:23] <pazemlsqdfmoj> Enselic``: ok, be right back
[03:23] <A_I_> ok
[03:23] <IndyGunFreak> Flamekebab, i'm not sure, may not be so dumb, i think its 64bit though, but use caut9ion on the 64bit distros
[03:23] <Flamekebab> IndyGunFreak, I've been treating it as x86 so far
[03:23] <Flamekebab> was mostly curious
[03:23] <IndyGunFreak> Flamekebab, thats probably best
[03:23] <A_I_> it's always a pleasure to feel heard
[03:23] <IndyGunFreak> the 64bit distros, it never seems to work right for me
[03:23] <Flamekebab> I've just gone from a fully functional Edgy to a b0rked Feisty
[03:23] <Flamekebab> hehe
[03:24] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[03:24] <erUSUL> hoodies: afaik scp comes with ssh. sshfs is a fuse filesystem iirc
[03:24] <Flamekebab> trying to figure out what to do about nvidia kernel modules
[03:24] <IndyGunFreak> i personally would stick with 32bit until the 64bit is more stable, and has more available for it in native 64bit

[03:26] <hoodies> erUSUL: so go with scp & how would i go about setting that up?

[03:27] <IndyGunFreak> i hate windows
[03:27] <Flamekebab> IndyGunFreak, me too
[03:27] <hoodies> erUSUL: is there maybe a walk through guide that i could look at and get a idea on how to set it up?
[03:27] <choru> I'm using samba on a ubuntu file-server. I have mounted /dev/hdb (15GB free space) on /mnt/files at my main disk /dev/hda (1.2GB free space). My problem is that samba thinks that I only have 1.2G when using /mnt/files from samba. Anyone have a solution?
[03:27] <Enselic``> IndyGunFreak: how come?
[03:27] <ewanm89> IndyGunFreak: And me
[03:27] <Flamekebab> if I install the latest nvidia drivers, do they install the relevant kernel modules too?
[03:27] <IndyGunFreak> Enselic``, i broke my ankle, so i'm stayign at my mom's for a few days, and they use windows here, and IE just crashed on me..lol
[03:28] <IndyGunFreak> just mad me realize why i left M$ behind..lol
[03:28] <Enselic``> IndyGunFreak: ff crashes on me too sometimes
[03:28] <Flamekebab> Windows is less responsive than a narcoleptic sloth
[03:28] <bauer77> Enselic``: I am trying to stream media that needs mplayer but totem keeps defaulting
[03:28] <IndyGunFreak> Enselic``, but i'd put Firefox against IE anyday of the week
[03:28] <Enselic``> bauer77: in firefox?
[03:28] <IndyGunFreak> i actually just isntalled firefox, wether she likes it or not.
[03:28] <bauer77> Enselic``:  yes
[03:28] <IndyGunFreak> not to mention, this PC is kinda old, Win98, etc,
[03:29] <Flamekebab> if I install the latest nvidia drivers, do they install the relevant kernel modules too?
[03:29] <Enselic``> bauer77: apt-remove totem plugins
[03:29] <IndyGunFreak> i coudl probably make it run much better with Ubuntu, but she's set in her ways
[03:29] <bauer77> Enselic``:  thanks
[03:29] <Musaed__> Hi there, I have Toshiba M70-193, and can load Ubuntu 6.06 only in safe mode!! Any help is highlt appreciated
[03:30] <IndyGunFreak> Musaed__, you win the award for worst explanation of a prolbme
[03:30] <IndyGunFreak> problem
[03:30] <fredl> hi, anybody here use xmame.x11 ?
[03:30] <bauer77> anybody get Yahoo lauchcast to work in linux yet?
[03:31] <Musaed__> I am sorry, I am very new to Linux sys.
[03:31] <fredl> I had never heard of that, apt-get install xmame.x11 and I downloaded a ROM from ROMNation but I don't know how to start it.
[03:31] <untitled> Good afternoon, i have a file with iptables rules, where should i put the file and what should i do to make it start on boot, start/stop/restart those rules?
[03:31] <IndyGunFreak> Musaed__, my point is, are you getting an error message when you try to boot in normal mode or what?.. it would help to know that
[03:32] <IndyGunFreak> just saying, "I can't boot into anythign but safe mode".. is like callign an auto mechanic, sayuing my car won't start, and demanding a phone quote on what it will cost to fix
[03:33] <Musaed__> When I boot from CD every thing is fine, but at the end I am getting black screen with the starting tonel
[03:34] <Flamekebab> ( if I install the latest nvidia drivers, do they install the relevant kernel modules too? )
[03:34] <untitled> anybody?
[03:34] <steel_lady> how to apply chmod 777 to all the subfolders of one folder???
[03:34] <IndyGunFreak> Flamekebab, i think so.. when I installed the nvidia drivers, my kernel upgraded also.
[03:34] <Flamekebab> IndyGunFreak, cheers
[03:34] <Flamekebab> I'll give it a shot
[03:34] <IndyGunFreak> i'm not 100% sure though
[03:34] <Flamekebab> if not, I'll be back
[03:34] <IndyGunFreak> so worksforme!
[03:34] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[03:34] <Flamekebab> hehe
[03:34] <kinlo> steel_lady: find -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \;
[03:34] <MojoWork> how do i query the bot? (assuming there is one)
[03:34] <Flamekebab> woo
[03:34] <Flamekebab> byee
[03:35] <untitled> where are init scripts in ubuntu?
[03:35] <Pici> MojoWork: /msg ubotu <query>
[03:35] <Musaed__> when I boot using safe mode the desktop is shown!!
[03:35] <MojoWork> Pici: thx
[03:35] <steel_lady> kinlo, I do not understand
[03:36] <MojoWork> Pici: perfect. found just what i was looking for, thanks
[03:36] <bauer77> is there anyway to emulate Windows media player for active x controls?
[03:36] <Pici> steel_lady: also `chmod 777 -R` will chmod recursively
[03:36] <mruiz> what is the best way to update my ubuntu from edgy to feisty (herd4) ?
[03:37] <very`tired> Enselic``: i got the tv-out working, had forgotten 1 identifier, but for some reason, it just shows an empty desktop, i can't interact with it our anything
[03:37] <hairulfr> mruiz: Download the feisty,backup you are userfiles/configs and do a clean install
[03:37] <hairulfr> Your
[03:37] <mruiz> hairulfr, mmmm a clean install?
[03:37] <Enselic``> very`tired: are you starting X with xstart or something similar?
[03:38] <hairulfr> mruiz: I would anyway,
[03:38] <sergiu> hello
[03:38] <hairulfr> hello sergiu
[03:38] <very`tired> Enselic``: this time, yes, if i reboot it starts automatically
[03:38] <IndyGunFreak> mruiz, i love clean installs.
[03:38] <Enselic``> very`tired: if you reboot, it will probably work. xstart doesn't do what you want
[03:38] <ardchoille> I have a question about ~/.bash_profile. There is a snippet at the bottom that I feel may be a system risk. If you put PATH=~/bin:$PATH and someone puts a trojaned version of ls in your ~/bin, won't that be called before /bin/ls? Shouldn't it be PATH=$PATH:~/bin ? Is ordering not important in this regard?
[03:38] <Enselic``> very`tired: you could try sudo gdm restart
[03:38] <very`tired> Enselic``: ah ok *rebooting*
[03:38] <Enselic``> very`tired: k
[03:39] <akv2> I just upgraded my workstation from edgy to feisty and now i have a problem with my dualhead setup. I have a ATI x1300 and did a setup with aticonfig --initial=dual-head --server-layout=right. It seems like it's two seperate X servers, i cannot move a application from one screen to an other and the second screen has some problems rendering correct...anyone knows a solution?
[03:39] <erUSUL> akv2: #ubuntu+1
[03:39] <akv2> erUSUL: ?
[03:40] <akv2> erUSUL: aah, i get it ;)
[03:40] <wjohnsto_> sup
[03:40] <wjohnsto_> negro
[03:40] <sergiu> i want that i can change the languages with the left-win key
[03:40] <sergiu> how to do so
[03:40] <sergiu> what option to use
[03:40] <Kaso> Ok, im getting "ImportError: No module named gtk" when trying to run certain programs, however i have all pertinant python-gtk packages, so i assume one must be miss-configured somehow, anyone got any ideas?
[03:40] <IndyGunFreak> why are people upgrading to Feisty so quickly?
[03:40] <apex`> hi ppl
[03:40] <Musaed__> there is no error message or any thing when booting in normal mode
[03:40] <JernejL> hi all
[03:40] <ardchoille> IndyGunFreak: I don't know. I'm still on Dapper :P
[03:41] <IndyGunFreak> ardchoille, lol.. I always let the new ones sit for a few weeks before downloading
[03:41] <ardchoille> IndyGunFreak: same here
[03:41] <IndyGunFreak> ardchoille, let everyone else deal with the problems
[03:41] <ardchoille> lol
[03:41] <very`tired> Enselic``: same problem, i get a wallpaper, the taskbars and thats it
[03:42] <IndyGunFreak> thats why i don't mess with them while they are in beta either
[03:42] <sergiu> hello, how can i change the languages with the left-win key, i need to edit xorg.conf..
[03:43] <Enselic``> very`tired: ls -a | grep gdm
[03:43] <Enselic``> very`tired: ps -a | grep gdm I mean ^
[03:43] <JernejL> can someone tell me something? how do i.. install a RPM package?
[03:43] <Kaso> check out alien
[03:43] <IndyGunFreak> JernejL, use Alien
[03:43] <very`tired> Enselic``: doesn't do anything
[03:43] <Enselic``> !rpm | JernejL
[03:43] <ubotu> JernejL: 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)
[03:43] <Enselic``> very`tired: try sudo gdm restart
[03:44] <arn_> when i try to start firefox, i get an erro that its already running and i have to close that one. can anyone tell me how can i close that?
[03:44] <IndyGunFreak> JernejL, what are you trying to install?
[03:44] <JernejL> lazarus
[03:44] <IndyGunFreak> lazarus?
[03:44] <very`tired> Enselic``: GDM already running. aborting!
[03:44] <JernejL> yes, lazarus :/ -> lazarus.freepascal.org
[03:44] <Enselic``> arn_: open a terminal and type pkill firefox
[03:44] <zpertee> hi can anyone help me?  Does ssh start automatically or do you have to load it?
[03:44] <JernejL> so what do i have to do to be able to install RPM packages?
[03:45] <Tonren> Sup guys.
[03:45] <Enselic``> very`tired: ah, then it was ps -A | grep gdm :)
[03:45] <arn_> Enselic``, thanks :)
[03:45] <erUSUL> zpertee: automatically afaik
[03:45] <IndyGunFreak> JernejL, search Synaptic for a program called Alien
[03:45] <Enselic``> very`tired: anyway, (still experimental) try sudo pkill gdm
[03:45] <lasse_> hi im just testing irssi. good bye
[03:45] <JernejL> IndyGunFreak, what is synaptic?
[03:45] <very`tired> Enselic``: 4108 ? 00:00:00 gdm
[03:45] <sergiu> what is the codename of left-winkey
[03:45] <zpertee> erUSUL: thanx
[03:45] <sergiu> =] 
[03:45] <very`tired> Enselic``: 4125 ? 00:00:00 gdm
[03:46] <IndyGunFreak> JernejL, what version of Linux are you using?
[03:46] <Enselic``> very`tired: sudo pkill gdm
[03:46] <very`tired> done
[03:46] <sergiu> no help today
[03:46] <sergiu> :(
[03:46] <very`tired> Enselic``: then what?
[03:46] <JernejL> IndyGunFreak, i'm using kubuntu, whatever newest version that i downloaded 1 week ago.
[03:47] <Musaed__> Guys.. guys, I want to switch to Ubuntu, So please help me here
[03:47] <Enselic``> very`tired: then sudo gdm start
[03:47] <IndyGunFreak> JernejL, well, that doesn't mean you're using the newest version, did you download 6.06, or 6.10?... they are both still regularly hosted
[03:47] <JernejL> :x
[03:47] <Musaed__> When I boot from CD every thing is fine, but at the end I am getting black screen with the starting tonel
[03:47] <JernejL> where do i finf out the version?
[03:47] <Pici> !version | JernejL
[03:47] <ubotu> JernejL: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type  lsb_release -a  in a !shell
[03:48] <very`tired> Enselic``: still the same
[03:48] <JernejL> Pici, a shell?
[03:48] <IndyGunFreak> JernejL, a terminal window
[03:48] <Pici> JernejL: A terminal window
[03:48] <Enselic``> very`tired: what happends?
[03:48] <very`tired> Enselic``: my tv is showing the wallpaper and the taskbars and stuff, so basically an empty desktop
[03:48] <very`tired> Enselic``: but i can't reach it with my mouse, nor is it a mirror
[03:49] <JernejL> it's ubuntu 6.10 edgy something
[03:49] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[03:49] <Enselic``> very`tired: ah ok, so you have X running, it's just that you dont get it to your TV?
[03:49] <Musaed__> Is it my ATI mobility x700 not compatible with Ubuntu??? please any input?
[03:49] <IndyGunFreak> answers like that annoy the hell out of me
[03:49] <IndyGunFreak> but thats enough
[03:49] <very`tired> Enselic``: indeed, although the tv is showing an empty desktop, so it's working up to some point
[03:49] <IndyGunFreak> JernejL, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_.rpm_to_.deb_Converter_.28Alien.29
[03:49] <Pici> !alien
[03:49] <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)
[03:49] <Enselic``> very`tired: ah ok, sorry, then I got it wrong from the start
[03:50] <IndyGunFreak> Pici, lol, Alien is dangerous?
[03:50] <tonyyarusso> Musaed__: I have an X300 and it's fine - not sure how similar they are.
[03:50] <Enselic``> very`tired: are you using Xinerama?
[03:50] <IndyGunFreak> i've only used it once or twice with no prob,..lol
[03:50] <very`tired> Enselic``: not a clue what that is, so i'm guessing not :P
[03:50] <Enselic``> very`tired: if it appears to be a separate desktop, then probably no
[03:50] <IndyGunFreak> boy you guys are scared of everything, Automatix, Alien, what else?
[03:50] <Chousuke> Alien is not dangerous per se. it's just not a "clean" way to install packages.
[03:50] <Pici> IndyGunFreak: Maybe dangerous is a bit exaggerated
[03:50] <Enselic``> very`tired: does this desktop have panels?
[03:50] <IndyGunFreak> yeah, automatix is dangerous...lol
[03:50] <very`tired> Enselic``: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=98456 <- that guide
[03:50] <very`tired> Enselic``: yes
[03:50] <Sturk> damn 6.06 installer keeps crashing :((
[03:51] <Chousuke> IndyGunFreak: Experience would indicate so.
[03:51] <IndyGunFreak> no wait, i know, Automatix will cause your system great peril...

[03:51] <very`tired> Enselic``: indeed
[03:51] <IndyGunFreak> Chousuke, your experience maybe
[03:51] <Enselic``> very`tired: have you tried to go there in all edges of your screen?
[03:51] <very`tired> yup
[03:51] <JernejL> IndyGunFreak: it's saying something along "unable to lock administration directory" ?
[03:51] <Enselic``> very`tired: in ServerLayout (xorg.conf), doublecheck the layout and compare with that in the tutorial
[03:52] <Pici> Rprp: Dont do that.
[03:52] <Chousuke> IndyGunFreak: last time I checked the automatix script, it was still using --force and doing lots of questionable things.
[03:52] <very`tired> Enselic``: k *checking*
[03:52] <Chousuke> IndyGunFreak: I'm not calling that safe.
[03:52] <Rprp> Pici: What did i? :/
[03:52] <IndyGunFreak> Chousuke, i don't know, i just went through this with someone else, i've got it on 3 different systems, 3 differentversions of Linux, no probs
[03:52] <lastnode> does anyone know if Feisty had any plans for bcm4318 native driver + firmware, in the spec?
[03:52] <JernejL> IndyGunFreak, thanks it worked now
[03:52] <Pici> Rprp: You pasted part of the userlist.  It just paged all of those people.
[03:52] <IndyGunFreak> JernejL, ok
[03:53] <AzureMoose> !worksforme | IndyGunFreak
[03:53] <ubotu> IndyGunFreak: 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.
[03:53] <Sturk> HELP!!! ubuntu 6.06 installer keeps crashing
[03:53] <Sturk> what do i do
[03:53] <IndyGunFreak> AzureMoose, thats been posted 85 gazillion times
[03:53] <space_ninja> who's got the best software, kubuntu or ubuntu?
[03:53] <JernejL> now how do i install the RPM?
[03:53] <IndyGunFreak> JernejL, download the RPM to your desktop
[03:53] <Chousuke> space_ninja: that's a question of preference.
[03:53] <JernejL> IndyGunFreak, it's on my CD
[03:53] <jrib> space_ninja: they both have the same software available.  They use the same repositories.  Kubuntu is just ubuntu with kde stuff by default and ubuntun is ubuntu with GNOME by default
[03:53] <JernejL> it's running thru vmware under windows
[03:53] <IndyGunFreak> JernejL, i have no idea how to do it via CD
[03:54] <Musaed__> tonyyarusso: When I boot from safe mode, it works. but fom normal mode there is only black screen + the start up tone
[03:54] <ikonia_> JernejL why are you trying to install rpm's on ubuntu
[03:54] <space_ninja> yes I know but as default
[03:54] <JernejL> eh? what's the difference? it's just a file..
[03:54] <ikonia_> JernejL rpms's are a different format
[03:54] <JernejL> ikonia_, because the program has no APT package
[03:54] <IndyGunFreak> JernejL, big difference
[03:54] <ikonia_> JernejL then you need to build and make one -
[03:54] <JernejL> i got the ALIEN package thing
[03:54] <jessie> I have a ipw3945-based wireless card in my laptop. I try to get it connected to a wpa-psk based network and it seems to work but I always get 'eth1 :link not ready'
[03:54] <Chousuke> ikonia_: you make it sound easy :P
[03:54] <tonyyarusso> Musaed__: might need some mucking around with your xorg.conf then - check the forums for any relevant notes about that card.
[03:54] <ikonia_> thats rubbish
[03:54] <jessie> any ideas?
[03:55] <ikonia_> Chousuke ts not that hard, a litle time cosuming the first few times
[03:55] <Chousuke> ikonia_: yeah, but it's going to be really painful for a beginner.
[03:55] <Chousuke> ikonia_: even if you know your way with Linux it takes time.
[03:55] <ikonia_> Chousuke then a beginner should be requesting the package from maintainers rather than trying to fudge rpm's
[03:56] <ikonia_> Chousuke yes it is time consuming the first few times- I agree
[03:56] <Chousuke> a beginner wouldn't know the difference, really
[03:56] <Musaed__> tonyyarusso: Where to find that file?? this my first time using Linux sys. thank you
[03:56] <JernejL> IndyGunFreak, now i copied rpm files to desktop, can i install them now?
[03:56] <ikonia_> Chousuke exactly, so a beginner should be requesting it gets builtrather than trying to fudge rpm's
[03:56] <ikonia_> JernejL do not install rpm's
[03:56] <tonyyarusso> Musaed__: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:56] <space_ninja> how do i upgrade an old version of gnome to the newest and how do I get rid of the old shit?
[03:56] <JernejL> ikonia_, thanks for the advice, but i need this rpm installed.
[03:57] <ikonia_> JernejL request a package builder builds a apckage
[03:57] <tonyyarusso> space_ninja: wait for a new release ;)
[03:57] <ikonia_> space_ninja watch the lanaguage - its uncalled for
[03:57] <JernejL> ikonia_, what?
[03:57] <space_ninja> ok sorry
[03:57] <space_ninja> :)
[03:57] <ikonia_> JernejL request an ubuntu packager builds you a package
[03:57] <ikonia_> JernejL ratehr than you try to force incompatible software
[03:58] <Chousuke> JernejL: you can just run "alien package.rpm" and it'll produce a .deb which you can install. However, you should know that this may not work very well.
[03:58] <JernejL> ikonia_, i don't understand..
[03:58] <Chousuke> it shouldn't break anything though.
[03:58] <ikonia_> JernejL rpmis not only a different package, but the contents are built against a different OS so can cause problems
[03:58] <ikonia_> JernejL rather than try to make this work, make a request to the ubuntu team to buuild an ubuntu package
[03:58] <steelb> how do i get my rear speakers working?
[03:58] <nicolah> At the boot I have a kernel panic with the latest kernel. Where can I read the log now ? thanks
[03:59] <ikonia_> nicolah what point does itn panic - and whats the error
[03:59] <JernejL> terminal says it can't find bash alien?
[03:59] <tonyyarusso> JernejL: I might be able to get a package for you, IF (and only if...) it compiles with minimal headaches.  Not today though, but maybe soon.
[03:59] <very`tired> Enselic``: it seems to be fixed :D
[03:59] <ikonia_> JernejL stop stop stop - its clear yuou don't know what your doing. - Just ask someone to build you an ubuntu package
[03:59] <very`tired> Enselic``: had a tiny typo in my server layout :P
[03:59] <JernejL> ikonia_, build me a ubuntu package, please?
[03:59] <ikonia_> tonyyarusso thats the spirit - I'll also lend a hand if you want
[03:59] <tonyyarusso> JernejL: what was the url for the source again?
[03:59] <ikonia_> JernejL make an official request
[04:00] <JernejL> how do i make it offical?
[04:00] <ikonia_> JernejL through launchpad
[04:00] <ikonia_> !launchpad
[04:00] <ubotu> launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's Bounty and Bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/
[04:00] <daviey> Whats the name of the network manager applet (taskbar) in edgy?
[04:00] <nicolah> ikonia_, after selecting the 2.6.17-11 kernel I have an error like Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on un

[04:00] <Raider1> Anyone up for some hand-holding to help me get Ubuntu 6.06 Server to install and recognize my SATA-II RAID-5 setup ?
[04:00] <Sturk> damn ubuntu
[04:00] <tonyyarusso> ikonia_: (/me wonders if this is wise to volunteer - the one I'm attempting atm is giving no end of trouble...:P)
[04:00] <ikonia_> nicolah looks like a disk initialisation error
[04:00] <Enselic``> very`tired: that's usually the case :P :)
[04:00] <Chousuke> what package are you installing anyway?
[04:00] <jessie> daviey: you mean network-manager-gnome
[04:00] <jessie> daviey: or the other one?
[04:00] <nicolah> ikonia_, why with the other kernel (.10) it works normally ?
[04:00] <ikonia_> tonyyarusso there are always a few fighters, I'll help
[04:00] <daviey> jessie, the other one
[04:01] <JernejL> can i install debian packages in ubuntu?
[04:01] <ikonia_> nicolah different updated driver pahaps
[04:01] <ikonia_> JernejL again not wise - but better than rpm
[04:01] <Pici> Sturk: ?
[04:01] <JernejL> but it works?
[04:01] <tonyyarusso> ikonia_: in -motu for that.
[04:01] <ikonia_> JernejL not really
[04:01] <Sturk> Pici: installer keeps crashing
[04:01] <ikonia_> tonyyarusso pardon
[04:01] <Chousuke> JernejL: hmm
[04:01] <nicolah> ikonia_, where can I read the log ? why does it happen just sometimes ? thanks
[04:01] <ikonia_> nicolah it won't log as you've not booted that far and it can't see the disk
[04:01] <Chousuke> JernejL: if there is a debian package, then the source must be debianised already
[04:01] <Pici> Sturk: In cases like that, the Alternative CD is recomended
[04:01] <JernejL> debianised?
[04:01] <Pici> !alternatve | Sturk
[04:01] <tonyyarusso> ikonia_: If you want to help troubleshoot, #ubuntu-motu is where I've been discussing.
[04:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about alternatve - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:01] <Pici> !alternative | Sturk
[04:02] <JernejL> the packages are here:
[04:02] <JernejL> http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=89339
[04:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about alternative - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:02] <ikonia_> tonyyarusso sure
[04:02] <Pici> ..
[04:02] <Sturk> Pici: what is it?
[04:02] <Chousuke> JernejL: means that the modifications needed for building a debian/ubuntu package are done already.
[04:02] <Pici> Sturk: Let me get you a link
[04:02] <jrib> !alternate | Sturk
[04:02] <Sturk> Pici: i'm just downloading the 6.10 installer
[04:02] <ubotu> Sturk: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[04:02] <Chousuke> JernejL: it should be trivial to build your own
[04:02] <Pici> jrib: thanks ;)
[04:02] <nicolah> thanks ikonia_
[04:02] <JernejL> can't i just use the package?
[04:02] <ikonia_> nicolah no problem
[04:02] <Chousuke> JernejL: you can try.
[04:02] <ikonia_> JernejL no its a DIFFERENT OPERATING SYSTEM
[04:03] <ikonia_> JernejL I can'tbe more clear
[04:03] <Chousuke> JernejL: however, if it gives dependency conflicts, stop trying
[04:03] <JernejL> but i thought it's both linux kernel and kde desktop?
[04:03] <IndyGunFreak> ikonia_, i think you should go to his house and install it for him
[04:03] <ikonia_> JernejL the kernel is not the whole OS - and the desktop is unimportant
[04:03] <AlexFicelle> Hi there! I'm installing Ubuntu on my brother's computer. The computer doesn't have a floppy drive, but it does appear in Gnome. Any idea of how I could make that drive disappear (it just gives an error if I click on it: "mount: /dev/ is not a block device")?
[04:03] <JernejL> so what is important?
[04:03] <Chousuke> ikonia_: the debian package may work just fine
[04:03] <ikonia_> IndyGunFreak hell, all he has to do is make a request o have it packaged
[04:03] <IndyGunFreak> ikonia_, thats why i gave up..lol
[04:04] <ikonia_> Chousuke %50/%0 but for someone who doesn't know the different between OS's - should he be trying it = no
[04:04] <JernejL> ikonia_, perhaps i don't have the time to wait days to have it packaged.
[04:04] <ikonia_> JernejL then perhaps you should use a supported OS
[04:04] <jrib> AlexFicelle: you can probably comment the floppy line in /etc/fstab
[04:04] <JernejL> so what do you suggest i use that installs RPMs?
[04:04] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[04:04] <IndyGunFreak> JernejL, Fedora Core 5
[04:04] <icehammer> why can't i send IMs through gaim?
[04:04] <unop> JernejL,  no install through source
[04:05] <IndyGunFreak> icehammer, you're probably doing something wrong
[04:05] <IdleOne> !alien | JernejL
[04:05] <ubotu> JernejL: 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)
[04:05] <JernejL> i tried alien.
[04:05] <ikonia_> unop come on - he doesn't know the different between OS's - its not fair to ask to compile from scratch
[04:05] <AlexFicelle> jrib> Nice! It does indeed appear in /etc/fstab as "/dev/". I'll try to comment it and see if it still comes up.
[04:05] <icehammer> Indy >> it was absolutely fine till the morning..
[04:05] <JernejL> bash can't find it
[04:05] <IndyGunFreak> IdleOne, do you just like to use the bot?
[04:05] <JernejL> but i installed it
[04:05] <Chousuke> JernejL: that thing seems big :P
[04:05] <IdleOne> IndyGunFreak, yup  it knows all
[04:05] <IndyGunFreak> icehammer, so what did you do it
[04:05] <IndyGunFreak> IdleOne, lol
[04:05] <unop> ikonia_,  it's better than allowing him to install .rpms :)
[04:05] <ikonia_> JernejL if this is really important - use fedora core 6 and install the supported rPM
[04:05] <JernejL> Chousuke, it is big..
[04:05] <ikonia_> unop oooh totally
[04:05] <JernejL> might try that ikonia_ thanks
[04:05] <AlexFicelle> jrib> All right! That worked! Thank you very much! I love this community! :-D
[04:06] <icehammer> indy >> nothing.. it was working fine.. no i can type, enter >> i see what i typed.. its not being received at the other end
[04:06] <IndyGunFreak> icehammer, ?
[04:06] <traisen> I have an old Red Hat installed in a partion on my H
[04:06] <traisen> D... How do install Ubuntu over the Red Hat? Ubuntu asks to resize the partition not overwrite.
[04:06] <Chousuke> hm
[04:06] <IndyGunFreak> thats kind fo unusual
[04:06] <IndyGunFreak> i'd suspect the problem is on their end
[04:06] <icehammer> indy >> i know..
[04:06] <JernejL> i do know the difference between os.. if you go like windows, linux, bsd.. unix.. but i don't get the differences between all these linux distros.
[04:06] <ikonia_> traisen format the partition
[04:06] <icehammer> indy >> no, it works fine when i try it in windows
[04:06] <ikonia_> JernejL use fedora if this is an important package
[04:06] <Chousuke> it would be simple to build the debs from the source.
[04:06] <unop> !checkinstall | JernejL , use this in conjunction with a source package,
[04:06] <ubotu> JernejL , use this in conjunction with a source package,: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!
[04:07] <JernejL> it is as if all these linux distros are just to make confusion.
[04:07] <slacker_nl> hello
[04:07] <ikonia_> JernejL or request someone package it up for ubuntu and wait
[04:07] <slacker_nl> where does the live CD store the information about autologin?
[04:07] <IndyGunFreak> icehammer, is it showing you as logged in(is the person you're sending an IM to on your buddy list)
[04:07] <icehammer> ya..
[04:07] <icehammer> indy >> ya..
[04:07] <ikonia_> slacker_nl proably /etc/passwd and gdm.conf
[04:07] <IndyGunFreak> icehammer, thne you got me
[04:08] <IndyGunFreak> icehammer, what service are you using/
[04:08] <slacker_nl> ikonia_: thnx, don't think /etc/passwd is used for it, but will check
[04:08] <icehammer> indy > yahoo..
[04:08] <traisen> ikoninia_: Format using Gnome partition manager with  the Ubuntu  live-CD?
[04:08] <IndyGunFreak> ok, hang on
[04:08] <ikonia_> slacker_nl it will have to be to get the password
[04:08] <ikonia_> traisen yup - when you partition there is a tick box for format or preserve data
[04:08] <slacker_nl> ikonia_: that's stored in /etc/shadow
[04:08] <icehammer> indy >> u got a yahoo id?? lets try it...
[04:08] <unop> i dont like the ambiguity in some of these factoids .. "It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database" .. heh? why get a .deb listed there?
[04:09] <ikonia_> slacker_nl thats the actuall password but the user is referenced from /etc/passwd
[04:09] <traisen> ikonia_: Is there any way I can look at the files on the partition to be 200% sure I have the right partition?
[04:09] <Chousuke> JernejL: the source is already debianised.
[04:09] <ikonia_> traisenmount it
[04:09] <IndyGunFreak> icehammer, send a message to IndyGUnFreak@yahoo.com
[04:09] <ikonia_> traisen mouont it
[04:09] <ikonia_> mount it
[04:09] <JernejL> Chousuke, so what does that mean?
[04:09] <ikonia_> JernejL request someone package it for you - or use fedora - its the best thing for you
[04:09] <IdleOne> JernejL, linux distro's are like different version of windows i.e windows me XP XP PRO and so on except that linux distors tend to work. some distros use rpm packages some use deb packages all they are is a different way of making/installing programs Ubuntu uses .deb packages thats why you cant install the rpm
[04:09] <ardchoille> Isn't this a potential security problem in Ubuntu?  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=368438
[04:09] <icehammer> indy >> got it..??
[04:10] <Chousuke> JernejL: you should be able to download the source, extract it and use dh_make to get Ubuntu .debs
[04:10] <IndyGunFreak> no, i didn't get anything
[04:10] <icehammer> u send me one: icehammer1234
[04:10] <traisen> ikonia_: its been ages since I had to use the mount command itself... can you me a hint what the format is?
[04:10] <ikonia_> traisen mount $device $mount_point
[04:10] <JernejL> IdleOne, so why can't one distro implement a universal way to install both RPM and DEB?
[04:10] <very`tired> Enselic``: now i got one last problem: resolution
[04:10] <Chousuke> JernejL: which version of ubuntu are you running?
[04:10] <stan1> does someone knows how to enable the windows "on top" feature in compiz?
[04:10] <JernejL> 6.10 edgy
[04:10] <ikonia_> JernejL does it matter - request someone package it or use fedora
[04:10] <very`tired> Enselic``: i just updated my xorg.conf to support 1360x768 on secondary screen and 1280x1024 on primary, but it doesn't show either option in preferences->resolution
[04:11] <Chousuke> ikonia_: you be quiet for a while now :p
[04:11] <IdleOne> JernejL, good question probably because they work differently and it just to hard to do it so they can work together
[04:11] <Pici> stan1: hmm, I'm not sure. The people in #ubuntu-effects might know though
[04:11] <icehammer> indy >> getting mine?
[04:11] <IndyGunFreak> icehammer, did you just respond to my IM?
[04:11] <IndyGunFreak> no, not getting anything
[04:11] <Enselic``> very`tired: sudo apt-get install eeid
[04:11] <icehammer> indy >> ya, i did..
[04:11] <ikonia_> Chousuke its just going around in a circle "why why why  and how how how !"
[04:11] <IndyGunFreak> that is strange
[04:11] <icehammer> indy >> damn..
[04:11] <Enselic``> very`tired: wong.. han gon
[04:11] <IndyGunFreak> i wonder why that is.
[04:11] <icehammer> indy >> bigtime..
[04:12] <unop> ardchoille,  is it a security problem? yes and no .. its depends on how you percieve it. it's not because thats a user modification for the users environment and not system wide .. it's a hazard because a program could create aliases and the user not know about it .. overall, it's not considered to be a hazard
[04:12] <traisen> ikonia_: $device is just the partion say partion8 and $mount_point is normally (convention only)  /media/hda8  where 8 is the partition #   ?
[04:12] <icehammer> indy > anyway, will try later again.. thanks anyway
[04:12] <ubuntu> i
[04:12] <ubuntu>  hi
[04:12] <very`tired> Enselic``: what?
[04:12] <Chousuke> JernejL: hm, I only have access to a dapper machine :/
[04:12] <very`tired> Enselic``: eeid doesn't seem to exist btw
[04:12] <IndyGunFreak> icehammer, i just got that one
[04:12] <ikonia_> traisen mount /dev/sda8 /var/tmp (for example)
[04:12] <icehammer> indy >> u did?? did u get 2?
[04:12] <Enselic``> very`tired: install read-edid
[04:12] <Enselic``> very`tired: (got it wrong)
[04:12] <Chousuke> JernejL: anyway
[04:12] <ardchoille> unop: Ah, ok.
[04:12] <very`tired> k
[04:12] <lmosher> I have some data on a webpage (a transcript). I want to get this into openoffice so I can format it. If I paste the text it would require a LOT of formatting. Is there a way to extract the data? Print to file?
[04:12] <very`tired> Enselic``: what does this read-edid do?
[04:13] <Chousuke> JernejL: download the source with "wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/lazarus/lazarus-0.9.20-0.tar.gz"
[04:13] <very`tired> Enselic``: it's installed btw
[04:13] <ikonia_> Chousuke you've got no chance with that approach
[04:13] <Enselic``> very`tired: sudo read-edid | parse-edid
[04:13] <Chousuke> ikonia_: it's simple
[04:13] <JernejL> Chousuke, the linux install has no internet because i don't know how to make it work.
[04:13] <ikonia_> Chousuke for someone who can use linux
[04:13] <Enselic``> very`tired: shows monitor capabilites
[04:13] <ikonia_> Chousuke see !
[04:13] <Chousuke> ikonia_: he needs to run 3 commands.
[04:13] <Chousuke> :P
[04:13] <very`tired> read-edid: command not found
[04:13] <Enselic``> very`tired: oops, meant get-edid
[04:13] <flamesrock> how do I convert a pdf to a txt file in linux?
[04:13] <jrib> lmosher: I don't really understand, can you link to the page?
[04:13] <Chousuke> JernejL: that's a bigger problem :/
[04:14] <traisen> ikonia_: ok thanks I'll go try it.
[04:14] <JernejL> ofcourse, i tried to avoid network
[04:14] <hairulfr> flamesrock: You mark what you need and copy/paste
[04:14] <Chousuke> JernejL: you should solve it before trying this.
[04:14] <JernejL> i'm just trying to get what i need done.
[04:14] <jrib> flamesrock: pdftotext in poppler-utils pacakge
[04:14] <ikonia_> JernejL request someone package it - or use the correct rpm based distro
[04:14] <lmosher> jrib, No it's my transcript, I need to log in.. I'm sending the unofficial transcript to an employer, but I want to keep the formatting on the page. I'm trying to print to a PDF or something, but I don't know how to do that in Firefox.
[04:14] <flamesrock> tx
[04:14] <johan_> can i run cat within eterm and leave it open
[04:14] <Chousuke> JernejL: what kind of devices/internet connection do you have?
[04:14] <ikonia_> johan_yup
[04:14] <very`tired> Enselic``: you want me to pastebin the output or...?
[04:14] <jrib> lmosher: you can print to pdf if you install cups-pdf
[04:14] <johan_> or display content of a file within eterm
[04:14] <ikonia_> johan_ yup
[04:14] <JernejL> Chousuke, my ubuntu runs in vmware
[04:15] <Chousuke> I see.
[04:15] <lmosher> jrib, will I need to add the pdf printer manually, or does it set that up?
[04:15] <fredl> anybody here ever use xmame?
[04:15] <Chousuke> that should work though :/
[04:15] <johan_> eterm -e cat foo; shut after execution
[04:15] <Chousuke> JernejL: have you told vmware to act as a dhcp server?
[04:15] <JernejL> Chousuke, i don't know
[04:15] <Chousuke> JernejL: if you do that, Ubuntu should be able to autoconfigure your network.
[04:15] <JernejL> i'll give it a try
[04:16] <jrib> lmosher: I think you need to add the printer after installing the package
[04:16] <Chousuke> you may need to enable NAT
[04:16] <johan_> what do i do to leave it open without prompt, i just need the content of a file to be displayed
[04:16] <JernejL> nat?
[04:16] <bulmer> Chousuke: why the need to have the vmware have the dhcp? am curious? no other dhcp server around?
[04:16] <ikonia_> nag on queue
[04:16] <johan_> maybe tail -f would do the trick
[04:16] <ikonia_> bang
[04:16] <unop> johan_,  how about xmessage? xmessage  -file /path/to/file
[04:17] <very`tired> how do i get current color depth?
[04:17] <johan_> let me check, thanks
[04:17] <very`tired> (and how do i change it ?)
[04:18] <jrib> very`tired: xdpyinfo| grep 'depth of root'   (and  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  i think)
[04:18] <johan_> xmessage works great but i like the nonintrusive transparency of eterm
[04:18] <Chousuke> bulmer: vmware needs to control the network access.
[04:18] <lmosher> jrib, hrm, it sees the pdf-printer but then asks me to pick a model... I guess I can just pick any normal printer?
[04:18] <JernejL> the vmware is setup as NAT mode
[04:19] <Chousuke> okay.
[04:19] <jrib> lmosher: read /usr/share/doc/cups-pdf/README.Debian
[04:19] <Chousuke> hmm
[04:19] <unop> johan_, maybe? $TERM -e less /path/to/file
[04:19] <johan_> what is less?
[04:19] <johan_> is less more
[04:19] <unop> less is more
[04:19] <unop> :)
[04:19] <Chousuke> JernejL: it should work then I suppose :/
[04:19] <Raider1> Its 'Software RAID' and FakeRAID basically the same thing (In terms of the "Software RAID" options in the Ubuntu installer)
[04:19] <johan_> more or less i guess
[04:19] <Chousuke> JernejL: weird.
[04:19] <jrib> lmosher: hmm I thought that mentioned something but I don't see it now
[04:19] <unop> less is more than more :)
[04:19] <johan_> thanks
[04:20] <johan_> dont you love those names
[04:20] <jessie> I have a ipw3945-based wireless card in my laptop. I try to get it connected to a wpa-psk based network and it seems to work but I always get 'eth1 :link not ready' - any ideas?
[04:20] <Chousuke> JernejL: however, if you can't get network to work then you can't really build those .debs either.
[04:21] <jrib> lmosher: do you see PostscriptColor as the ppd somewhere?
[04:21] <afidegnum> jrib
[04:21] <afidegnum> pls are you there?
[04:21] <srikanthssn> hello, need help on using Wammu connecting via  DKU cable ??
[04:22] <archville> Hi.
[04:22] <archville> I've installed nvidia drivers (from the script supplied by nvidia.com) and the work, but after installing it, nvidia framebuffer does not load on boot.  Anything i can do to enable it for the console ?
[04:22] <jrib> lmosher: ah I see it, take a look at "Generic"
[04:22] <lmosher> jrib, AH ok ty.
[04:23] <lmosher> jrib, then just postscript?
[04:23] <jrib> lmosher: postscript color
[04:23] <lmosher> jrib, lol it doesn't give me a file choice :/
[04:24] <jrib> lmosher: what do you mean?
[04:24] <srikanthssn> hello, need help on using Wammu connecting via  DKU cable ??
[04:24] <tuskernini> Do i connect pc to pc wlan the same way as to a home wlan network?
[04:24] <very`tired> howcome new resolutions i add to xorg.conf don't show up in preferences->resolution?
[04:25] <jessie^^> very`tired: what resolution do you need to get?
[04:25] <srikanthssn> very_tired, you might not have saved.. it happened with me :)
[04:25] <very`tired> jessie: 1280x1024 for my main monitor, 1360*768 for the tv
[04:25] <very`tired> srikanthssn: i did :< and rebooted n all
[04:25] <lmosher> jrib, I printed using that printer, it doesn't do anything... I would expect a file popup. If I choose "print to file" it doesn't save in PDF (I'm assuming it's PS), but it loses a lot of the information (it shows 1 of the 8 semesters... )
[04:25] <archville> very`tired: try selecting them in dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg menu
[04:25] <jrib> lmosher: you don't have anything in ~/PDF ?
[04:26] <very`tired> archville: i don't lose anything if i don't change anything with that right? cause i just spent quite a bit of time getting my xorg.conf right
[04:26] <dromer> hi, I'm having trouble umounting my camera, to sudo umount /dev/sda1 bash gives back "umount: /media/usb: device is busy" twice
[04:26] <IdleOne> very`tired, make a backup
[04:26] <lmosher> jrib, hrm, I see a file w/ the correct name, but evince and acroread show 1 blank page.
[04:26] <archville> very`tired, you should not lose anything, but copy xorg.conf file to xorg.conf-backup before
[04:27] <jessie^^> dromer: is the camera off?
[04:27] <archville> so you can restore it afterwards if it messed up something
[04:27] <muempf> you still have still access to /media/usb
[04:27] <dromer> jessie^^: no
[04:27] <lmosher> jrib, It's OK though, I went to view source and just copied that into a text file and converted it in openoffice. That should work good enough, some minor formatting required.
[04:27] <jessie^^> dromer: turn it off
[04:27] <dromer> jessie^^: I mant to umount it before turning it off
[04:27] <txbunt1> I noticed that in the new Ubuntu "simplified" installer there is not an option to install as a server.  How do I install with server options?
[04:28] <dromer> txbunt1: I think you need a different iso for that, not sure though
[04:28] <ardchoille> Back in a bit.
[04:28] <very`tired> archville: i can select the resolutions in there
[04:28] <txbunt1> I have the one from shipit and I downloaded the one that I thought was it but both of them are the samd
[04:28] <txbunt1> same
[04:28] <muempf> you need the "alternate" iso
[04:28] <K1GPL> is there a trick required to get onboard nvidia sound working?
[04:29] <Pici> !ubuntu-server
[04:29] <ubotu> Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 6.06. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ - The #ubuntu-server channel provides specific support
[04:29] <archville> very`tired, yes, there is a step of the configuration process that is selecting resolutions
[04:29] <K1GPL> i can't find alsaconf or whatever it is
[04:29] <lmosher> jrib, It's in one gigantic ugly table, but the formatting looks good a few weird characters to correct. Thanks for the help anyway. It was probably goofing up because it's a weird form (not a straight html file). I went to "save source" and when I opened it, it said "No transcript data", I had to go view source and manually cut and paste :/
[04:29] <txbunt1> Thanks
[04:30] <slacker_nl> I'm trying to build my own ubuntu live CD, so I can use it on my laptops, and have vpnc, ifplugd, guessnet and such installed and ready to work
[04:30] <Lattyware_> How can I get the most out of my Core 2 Duo when encoding with ffmpeg?
[04:30] <jrib> lmosher: hmmm, weird
[04:30] <slacker_nl> however, in the vpnc.conf some sensitive information is stored, I thought about making the liveCD with my user so I need to login and have the sudo ready for my user only
[04:30] <slacker_nl> but, when I would lose the CD, anyone could mount it and find the information stored on that CD.. right?
[04:30] <very`tired> archville: i did that, the xorg.conf it generated looks (for resolutions) the same as i made
[04:30] <archville>  the resolutions doesn't work ?
[04:31] <archville>  Did you installed your graphics card drivers ?
[04:31] <very`tired> archville: they simply don't show up in my system->preferences->screen resolution
[04:31] <aoupi> slacker_nl: yes, if you loose the cd whoever gets hold of it can see the conf file
[04:31] <aoupi> slacker_nl: unless you encrypt it in some way
[04:31] <archville> It could be the graphics card driver, or the monitor is not being detected, but dunno really
[04:32] <very`tired> archville: i had the beta nvidia drivers working before, and resolution worked like a charm in that one
[04:32] <archville> So have i
[04:32] <archville> well, now they are not beta but final release
[04:32] <very`tired> ran an update on the entire system (apparantly also my nvidia drivers) which broke the drivers, i used envy script to reinstall nvidia
[04:32] <JaccoH> any1 using the bnx2 module (for a broadcom netxtreme)
[04:33] <archville> very`tired, try installing the nvidia drivers from the script supplied by nvidia.com
[04:33] <very`tired> archville: will try
[04:33] <very`tired> never knew nvidia had their own script :P
[04:33] <archville> after latest update is the way i've installed it
[04:34] <archville> and works perfectly here :)
[04:34] <archville> but, you have to uninstall the other drivers first
[04:34] <Orfeous> i have some problems with my audio! i have a integrated soundchip on my motherboard. Nvidia Soundstorm. And i cant get any mixer to work.. nothing happens with the volume if i change the sliders.. i have also tried nvidias own drivers for linux but.. nothing happens with its on "nvmixer" either.... what can i do? please help.
[04:35] <pianoboy3333> Can anyone help me build the latest alsa drivers?
[04:35] <very`tired> archville: i been working all day to get the nvidia drivers up & running again after the update and get my tv working, now i gotta do it all over again? :<
[04:35] <IndyGunFreak> very`tired, all night?  no wonde ryou're very tired
[04:36] <archville> very`tired, is just running a script with sh thescript.run
[04:36] <archville> it will itself insert the nvidia module in the kernel after the execution
[04:36] <funpop> i need help on this one: http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/7788/
[04:36] <very`tired> archville: but i have to manually uninstall my current drivers, correct?
[04:36] <K1GPL> does ubuntu support nvidia mcp61 sound?
[04:36] <archville> well, the script should unninstall them for you
[04:36] <archville> but look at /etc/nvidia-* files
[04:37] <ikonia_> funpop can't open the device file for a device
[04:37] <archville> there could be two files, the scripts to let the nvidia drivers initialice at boot
[04:37] <archville> delete them before installing the new driver from the nvidia.com script
[04:37] <funpop> ikonia, how can i fix that ?
[04:37] <funpop> its the ati control thing from fglrx
[04:38] <ikonia_> funpop ahh pooh,sorry - I keep well out of the way with ati as its so touch and go
[04:39] <very`tired> archville: i would assume any nvidia driver needs those 2 files, so wouldn't a new intsall overwrite them anyway?
[04:39] <psygrass> hi guys.....newbie question... i have a dell computer and as u probably know that it comes with two hidden partitions of the hard drive for utilities and dell pc restore.... i want to install ubuntu dual boot with windows but i am afraid that ubuntu would format or resize the utility partition...and i don't want to lose them. i mean i want to install it on my windows partition. so how can i be sure of that?
[04:39] <archville> very`tired, i dunno why, but it donts
[04:39] <ikonia_> psygrass don't touch the partitions in the partition tool in ubuntu and it will be fine
[04:40] <slacker_nl> aoupi: mmm - I came to the same conclusion, so I need something to encrypt/decrypt the files
[04:40] <archville> in fact if you don't remove them before installing the new driver, you will lose nvidia module after rebooting
[04:40] <archville> maybe apt-get remove nvidia-glx also removes it
[04:40] <psygrass> so i just run the installation in the default choices?
[04:40] <archville> i just did it by hand
[04:40] <ikonia_> psygrass no - seloect the correct partion information and you'll be fine
[04:42] <psygrass> one other thing...when i run the live cd it gives me a messege of incorrect xserver... or something like that....i have an ATI card radeon x600.
[04:42] <psygrass> what am i supposed to do?
[04:42] <ikonia_> psygrass try using the alternative CD as it may be easier than trying to get it working
[04:43] <txbunt1> can anyone direct me to a good guide for setting up ubuntu as a network authentication server?
[04:43] <a5benwillis> Whos had experience installing OpenSSH on Ubuntu?
[04:43] <psygrass> when i run through safe graphics mode it works just fine
[04:43] <ikonia_> txbunt1 depends hwo you want to authenticat and what you want to authenticate
[04:43] <slacker_nl> aoupi (and others): do you have a pointer into how I can encypt files on my CD and decrypt then again from within the liveCD?
[04:43] <ikonia_> psygrass do that
[04:43] <psygrass> install from safe graphics mode??
[04:44] <a5benwillis> I installed from source, now my pam and sshd_config is being ignored
[04:44] <txbunt1> I am open to types of authentication.  Mainly users on the network
[04:44] <ikonia_> psygrass yup
[04:44] <Enselic``> very`tired: did you succed?
[04:44] <psygrass> thanx
[04:44] <MojoWork> anyone having trouble running the vmware server console in edgy?
[04:45] <MojoWork> 1.0.1
[04:45] <ikonia_> txbunt1 well thats too generic you need tp be more specific
[04:45] <txbunt1> Well I am used to dealing with the Active Directory structure. I am not sure if Linux has a good alternative to that
[04:45] <MojoWork> iirc this is the first time i've run it in edgy (2.6.17) and it's sucking 100% cpu and never showing the dialog
[04:45] <yomm> Mojo : No .. What trouble specifically ?
[04:46] <ikonia_> txbunt1 ldap, nis, nis+, samba, kerberos for example
[04:46] <Surb> I'm trying to install an ethernet driver and it gives me a .patch file.  What do I do with it?
[04:46] <yomm> mojo : try : gksu vmware-server-console
[04:46] <ikonia_> Surb you need to patch kernel
[04:46] <Pici> txbunt1: LDAP is the closest thing to AD on Linux
[04:46] <pianoboy3333> Can anyone help me build the latest alsa drivers?
[04:46] <Zaggynl> euh
[04:46] <Zaggynl> had iemand mij gehighlight een tijdje geleden?
[04:46] <yomm> mojo : I'f i'm correct you have to run it as root
[04:47] <MojoWork> yomm: no you don't, not the console itself
[04:47] <MojoWork> but i tried anyway, and sudo doesn't help
[04:47] <wastrel> "ubunto"
[04:47] <MojoWork> same behavior
[04:47] <wastrel> sudo didn't help!
[04:47] <txbunt1> I have looked at that.  I was hoping that linux had an easier alternative
[04:47] <aoupi> slacker_nl: maybe something with gpg
[04:47] <MojoWork> damn
[04:47] <Surb> ikonia_: What would I type in Terminal?
[04:48] <slacker_nl> aoupi: yes, I was thinking about encrypting the whole CD in that case
[04:48] <ikonia_> Surb I'm not walking you through a kernel compile
[04:48] <Zaggynl> Did anyone highlight me a while ago?
[04:48] <slacker_nl> aoupi: or only the sensitive files
[04:48] <hellmet> Does anyone know what driver SiS 82C204 uses??
[04:48] <yomm> Mojo : right ,you just need to log in as root ...
[04:49] <slacker_nl> the former is good, because no-one can mess with the CD then, the latter is good, because it protects only the files that need to be encrypted
[04:49] <yomm> mojo : my bad :)
[04:49] <txbunt1> Does anyone know  of a good LDAP control panel application that will configure the conf files a little easier
[04:49] <MojoWork> yomm: it's always worked before as a normal user. you just can't start a vm you created as root
[04:49] <jernej> hi all
[04:49] <aoupi> slacker_nl: I'd go with whichever is easier to do :)
[04:49] <jernej> (again)
[04:50] <slacker_nl> aoupi: hehe, that's the plan
[04:50] <slacker_nl> or might even try both
[04:50] <jernej> i'm trying to install a package in .deb format
[04:50] <jernej> how do i do this?
[04:50] <slacker_nl> aoupi: how would you do it?
[04:50] <ikonia_> jernej is it a debian package or an ubuntu package
[04:50] <jernej> i don't know
[04:50] <Nalleman> hi, today im trying to watch some streaming video with ff. I have installed mplayer with ff-plugin with automatix but somehow ff tries to use totem instead. Anyway it will not work and I would be happy if someone could help me out with this.
[04:50] <ikonia_> jernej where did you get it
[04:50] <jernej> it opens with ark
[04:50] <aoupi> slacker_nl: I would store the config file at home and copy it over with scp when I needed it
[04:51] <jernej> i got it where i got the RPMs
[04:51] <ikonia_> jernej that means nothing
[04:51] <ikonia_> jernej where is that
[04:51] <jernej> on the lazarus website :/
[04:51] <valehru> whats the command to remove all files associated with a package.  Eg apache, when sudo apt-get remove apache2 does it remove the config files etc?
[04:51] <eeos> hi there. anybody who has installed ecplise on ubuntu 6.10, making it work using all ope source java packages?
[04:51] <jernej> i asked larazus people and they say it works in ubuntu
[04:51] <slacker_nl> aoupi: the plan of the livecd was not having to do that
[04:51] <Pici> valehru: use the purge option, that removes config files aswell
[04:51] <aoupi> valehru: apt-get --purge remove apache2
[04:51] <ikonia_> jernej is this the family tree app ?
[04:52] <valehru> thx
[04:52] <tonyyarusso> valehru: aptitude purge
[04:52] <jernej> ikonia_, family tree?!?
[04:52] <ikonia_> jernej I've just googled for lararus and its a family tree app - what type of app is this
[04:52] <jernej> just tell me how does it install, if i screw up i'll just vmware restore.
[04:52] <sha1sum> is there an Ubuntu version of GNU/kFreeBSD or is it just for straight Debian?
[04:53] <Pici> sha1sum: its just Debian
[04:53] <ikonia_> jernej I'm trying to find the info on it -
[04:53] <sha1sum> damn that needs to change hehehe
[04:53] <hellmet> Does anyone know what driver SiS 82C204 uses??
[04:53] <ikonia_> jernej so I can help you
[04:53] <jernej> why info ikonia? just tell me how to install a debian package
[04:53] <ikonia_> jernej what type of applicationis it
[04:53] <jernej> it's a programming environment
[04:53] <ikonia_> jernej I can find out the details on the apckage to see if its compattible
[04:53] <jernej> lazarus.freepascal.org
[04:53] <ikonia_> ahh
[04:54] <tonyyarusso> jernej: What he's trying to say is, just give us the URL already so we don't have to guess randomly.
[04:54] <ikonia_> jernej one moment
[04:54] <jernej> ikonia, i asked in #lazarus-ide and they say it works in ubuntu
[04:54] <ikonia_> jernej there are many ubuntu version
[04:54] <jernej> i'm using 6.10 edgy :/ we talked before
[04:54] <Pici> jernej: download the .deb package
[04:54] <jernej> pici: i did.
[04:54] <ikonia_> jernej I know - I want to see if its compatible with 6.10
[04:55] <Pici> jernej:You should be able to double click it and it should run the package installer
[04:55] <jernej> it runs ARK
[04:55] <Pici> jernej: okay, then do (in a terminal) sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb
[04:56] <sha1sum> is feisty still scheduled for release on 7/10 ?
[04:56] <sha1sum> errr... 4/10 I mean

[04:57] <jernej> ikonia, it supposedly works
[04:57] <jernej> and sudo doesn't work, it can't find the file
[04:57] <ikonia_> jernej as I said - you can try it - but it does look like its built against debian
[04:57] <ikonia_> jernej where is the file
[04:57] <Kaso> i get ImportError: No module named gtk whenever i try to open certain programs, but i have all pertinent python-gtk packages, whats going on?

[04:58] <Pici> jernej: fine: sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/filename.deb

[04:59] <Pici> ikonia_: okay :)
[04:59] <MojoWork> i had this same problem in Sid. there's a problem with libdbus
[04:59] <ikonia_> jernej reading some notes - you may have issues with some gtk updates on edgy 6.10 with that deb
[04:59] <zoli21> Kaso: do you have more python installations 2.3 and 2.4?
[04:59] <MojoWork> you just have to make it use the system's one rather than the one that comes with vmware
[04:59] <ikonia_> jernej doesn't look anything major though
[05:00] <Kaso> zoli21, i wouldnt know off the top of my head, how would i check?
[05:01] <zoli21> Kaso: Try if you have python2.3 and python2.4 commands.

[05:12] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[05:12] <Roey> I think I'll brave the waters and install Feisty rather than Debian SID on my next machine.
[05:13] <afidegnum> so in tnhat case, I hae to be a superuser right?
[05:13] <Roey> Debian SID has annoying problems

[05:29] <bauer77> how do I run a torrent using bittorrent from the command line?
[05:29] <ardchoille> stooges: No, a binary is a compiled executable. Closed or open source depends on whether or not the developer(s) have released the source code for the binary.
[05:30] <zoli21> Kaso: Did the reinstalation solve the problem?
[05:30] <Kaso> zoli21 im still working on it
[05:30] <limetang> In the case of that article, binary means closed source.
[05:31] <Kaso> i foolishly did aptitude remove python-gtk and uninstalled half my opterating system

[05:35] <ardchoille> Kaso: Ya think? lol
[05:35] <foormea> hey sorry, how do i generate a new xorg.conf please?
[05:35] <ardchoille> foormea: Won't sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg generate a new one?
[05:35] <Dr_willis> ardchoille,  it 'should'  i belive
[05:36] <Tonren> How do I tell Aptitude to ignore broken packages and just install a freakin' package?
[05:36] <foormea> ardchoille ok thx didn't know that trick. i remember a tool that generated the xorg.conf in another distro
[05:36] <ardchoille> Dr_willis: I thought so.
[05:37] <Kaso> zoli21, ive reinstalled everything now i think and im getting "ImportError: No module named gobject" but apt tells me "python-gobject is already the newest version."
[05:37] <pianoboy3333> Can anyone help me build the latest alsa drivers from alsa project for hda-intel? My left audio is crackly sometimes, and maybe this is a problem fixed in the latest.
[05:37] <geemy> morning
[05:38] <EdibleEgg> hey guys, i'm not sure if i'm going to have a problem, but i'm trying to install packages offline without using apt-get
[05:38] <EdibleEgg> or will apt-get work offline?
[05:38] <zyth> EdibleEgg, dpkg -i package
[05:38] <geemy> i couldnt tell ya sorry
[05:38] <zoli21> Kaso: try: aptitude reinstall python-gtk2
[05:38] <EdibleEgg> zyth, thanks zyth ill try that
[05:39] <Kaso> zoli21, no change from that
[05:39] <geemy> do they make unreal tournament for ubuntu?
[05:39] <Kaso> zoli21, http://pastey.net/7093
[05:39] <geemy> or a emulator
[05:39] <geemy> of some kind
[05:39] <Kaso> ut comes in linux i think on the same CD as the windows version
[05:40] <Kaso> at leas 2k4 did
[05:40] <geemy> no kidding
[05:40] <studeringaaron> hi guys] 
[05:40] <geemy> where would i find it
[05:40] <Kaso> Games store maybe?
[05:41] <geemy> oh i see
[05:41] <geemy> thanks
[05:41] <Kaso> i guess you might beable to find demo versions online
[05:41] <geemy> yeah
[05:41] <geemy> i have one
[05:42] <geemy> i thought u meant from the packages
[05:42] <Kaso> hm?
[05:42] <Pici> geemy: Afaik, its either on the retail CDs or is available from epic's website
[05:42] <boggle> does there an debian package for edgy exist for nautilus-sendto-thunderbird?
[05:42] <gordonjcp> geemy: Unreal Tournament runs just fine on Ubuntu, as long as you've got your 3d drivers working
[05:42] <pianoboy3333> Can anyone help me build the latest alsa drivers from alsa project for hda-intel? My left audio is crackly sometimes, and maybe this is a problem fixed in the latest.
[05:43] <gordonjcp> geemy: I don't think there's an actual package, but the installer that you download Works Just Fine(tm)
[05:43] <CheshireViking> if i log to a windows server formatted with NTFS, would I need something like ntfs-3g to write to files on the server and would it be risky, or is ntfs-3g only needed if i want to write to an ntfs formatted partition on my computer
[05:43] <Xzenome> Where do the network interfaces live (like eth0 and wlan0)?
[05:43] <Pici> CheshireViking: You should only need smbfs support if you connect to a window share.  You'll need permissions to write of course though.
[05:44] <finalbeta> pianoboy3333: it's unlikely it's fixed. Cracking sound seems to be caused by over/underruns = alsa getting sound to fast or slow. Using a sound server will fix that.
[05:45] <finalbeta> Although many apps don't support that. I know.
[05:45] <is_null> hello everybody, linus-sources packages doesn't make menuconfig, any idea please ? unfortunnately, as it is the computer of my wife, gcc errors are in french, however, make menuconfig doesn't pass   HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
[05:45] <CheshireViking> Pici, thanks, i'm trying to get win xp app's running under wine that connect to a multiuser server based database, wanted to check before i spent any time trying to get it installed - thanks again
[05:45] <is_null> it's in stable repository
[05:46] <Dr_willis> is_null,  you installed build-essential package?
[05:46] <Pici> is_null: fyi theres an #ubuntu-fr channel who might be able to diagnose the error messages if you get stuck.  But we'll try here too :)
[05:46] <afidegnum> helo pls I am having some issue I cannot run the X11
[05:47] <afidegnum> I am getting error
[05:47] <afidegnum> first I run ssh -X activve X11
[05:48] <ardchoille> afidegnum: What is the error?
[05:49] <Dr_willis> afidegnum,  you are trying to run X totally over ssh ?
[05:49] <ardchoille> lol
[05:50] <ardchoille> Qick, someone tell him about X11 forwarding
[05:50] <hsilgne> someone from the staff?
[05:50] <Dr_willis> i always just google for ssh tutorials
[05:50] <Xzenome> Does anyone know where the network interfaces are (in terms of the linux file system)?
[05:50] <afidegnum> yes
[05:51] <gordonjcp> Xzenome: what do you mean?
[05:51] <afidegnum> that was the command I typed
[05:51] <Dr_willis> http://www.suso.org/docs/shell/ssh.sdf
[05:51] <Xzenome> like you get /dev/blah addresses for various things, is there something similar for network interfaces. I'm trying to set up snort
[05:51] <Dr_willis> afidegnum,  what did you 'expect' the command to do? try running a specific X application. not 'X11'
[05:54] <pkilgore_> Is anybody familiar with ldconfig? I'm having trouble getting a shared library to resolve
[05:54] <afidegnum>  ok let me reask the question again! I am using ssh to coonect to a remote server. what command to tyoe to see the GUI. of the remote server?
[05:54] <geemy> wb
[05:54] <pkilgore_> afidegnum, you need to use the -Y option with ssh
[05:55] <pkilgore_> afidegnum, make sure X11 is running on the remote server though
[05:55] <Pici> afidegnum: What OS are you trying to ssh FROM?
[05:55] <Agrajag> pkilgore_: huh, ssh -Y requires X to be running on the LOCAL machine.
[05:55] <[H] 3b0R> is ubuntu ditching rhythmbox from default package set?
[05:55] <pkilgore_> Agrajag, whoops, you're right
[05:56] <pkilgore_> I'm not completely there today.
[05:56] <Dr_willis> afidegnum,  you dont use ssh to 'see' the remote desktop.
[05:56] <Xzenome> [H] 3b0R, what makes you ask that?
[05:56] <MrPete> Ahoy
[05:56] <ardchoille> Hi MrPete
[05:56] <Dr_willis> afidegnum,  ssh runs stuff on the remote machine and it appears locally.   like you could  ssh in, run 'xeyes' and it shows up locally.
[05:56] <tompurnell> afidegnum: this tutorial might be useful to you http://www.vanemery.com/Linux/XoverSSH/X-over-SSH2.html
[05:56] <diasdelfenix> Hi,
[05:56] <[H] 3b0R> Xzenome: http://audacious-media-player.org/Downloads
[05:57] <[H] 3b0R> look at ubutnus section there
[05:57] <MrPete> wondering if anyone had a clear solution for the latest version of ubuntu hanging after usb devices, when waiting for filesystem
[05:57] <Incompetnce> is there any way to get the IEview extension for firefox working on ubuntu?
[05:57] <MrPete> I've checked grub and pointed it to the right partition for ubuntu but it still doesnt seem to like it
[05:57] <Nalleman> hi, today im trying to watch some streaming video with ff. I have installed mplayer with ff-plugin with automatix but somehow ff tries to use totem instead. Anyway it will not work and I would be happy if someone could help me out with this.
[05:58] <afidegnum> so in that case, I have to start X on a remote server first right?
[05:58] <Raider1> This has to be the most annoying this to install that there is .. I went through the whole process, in 6.06 server .. Setup /boot /swap, and the rest of the HDD space on a software RAID as / .. Set /boot as bootable, installed everything, no errors, nothing, rebooted, it won't boot off the hdd
[05:58] <Xzenome> Incompetnce, only if you were to run Firefox under wine with IE.
[05:58] <Raider1> erm s/this/thing
[05:58] <tompurnell> Incompetnce: http://ieview.mozdev.org/ieview-linux.html
[05:58] <afidegnum> here I am on WIndows
[05:58] <Incompetnce> sounds like too much effort. ies4linux will have to do, i suppose...
[05:58] <afidegnum> using SSH
[05:59] <MrPete> same here raider
[05:59] <Pici> afidegnum: You'll need an XServer running on your windows computer before you can use GUI applications via SSH.
[05:59] <MrPete> cept installing standard, ... after windows though
[05:59] <MrPete> without raid
[05:59] <afidegnum> do you have any related tutorial I can ready pls?
[05:59] <Raider1> Well, I've got 4 320GB hard drives in it .. I partitions off 200MB for /boot, and some for /swap, and put the rest on software RAID-5
[06:00] <Pici> afidegnum: some people posted some above, scroll up
[06:00] <tompurnell> afidegnum: google 'xming'
[06:00] <Pici> or scroll down
[06:00] <tompurnell> afidegnum: im pretty sure that's what you're looking for
[06:01] <afidegnum> so does it means I ate to start start Xserver?
[06:02] <afidegnum> I have to type start Xsever? on ssh?
[06:02] <mikejanssen> i know this is a lame question..but...im trying to unpackage a .deb file...i copy/past filename into terminal..and it comes back saying "no packages found matching..." how do i fix?
[06:02] <MrPete> i have 20 gb of space, 2gb swap, 100mb fat 32, the rest is set to / as bootable
[06:02] <MrPete> first partition on disk is 60gb of xp
[06:02] <Agrajag> afidegnum: no, you have to have an X server running on your machine before you SSH in.
[06:03] <Agrajag> On your local machine, the one you're staring at.
[06:03] <MrPete> mike, did you convert it? im not expert but im sure you have to convert before ubuntu can use .deb's
[06:03] <mikejanssen> convert?
[06:03] <Dr_willis> dpkg -i whatever.deb
[06:03] <Dr_willis> ?
[06:03] <Pelo> hey guys,   gnome-panel got borked last night,  I tried resintalling, no go, I boot ok, everthing connects, but the panels freeze and I have to open up prog using the terminal,  I'm about to reinstall ubuntu from scratch,  here is my question, would I need to redo ppp0econf or will my settings reset when I copy my home folder back ?
[06:03] <TomPurnell> afidegnum: Xming is the easiest solution you will find
[06:04] <mikejanssen> AHHHH
[06:04] <mikejanssen> there it goes
[06:04] <afidegnum> ok how can I run it pls?
[06:04] <mikejanssen> was an i...not an l
[06:04] <mikejanssen> = X
[06:04] <TomPurnell> afidegnum: http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Xming#head-0bb18642b70b9f8a9c12ccf39487328f306b8e19
[06:05] <EdibleEgg> hey guys, i'm having some trouble using dpkg -i x.deb myself, I tried installing build-essentials which I downloaded from the ubuntu site, but when I do sudo dpkg -i build.deb it says it can't configure because of dependencies
[06:05] <mau> ubuntu-it
[06:05] <mau> #ubuntu-it
[06:05] <EdgEy> um, is there any way to stop apt-get displaying packages that are 'no longer required'
[06:06] <EdgEy> it seems to think that because i've removed some of what kubuntu-desktop installs, none is needed
[06:06] <EdgEy> so i get a page or two of spam from every apt-get install
[06:06] <MrPete> anyone managed to get ubunutu to boot when it hangs on usb?
[06:07] <unop> EdibleEgg,  why not just do this? sudo aptitude install build-essentials
[06:07] <chiefbearclaw> people need to realize that if they are going to ask questions, in order for them to be answered they need to actually stay connected to irc
[06:07] <chiefbearclaw> you get half way through typing a response and they disconnect
[06:07] <EdibleEgg> unop, i don't have internet in ubuntu, trying to get wireless card to work heh
[06:07] <EdgEy> chiefbearclaw, you should take the initiative, track them down, peronally go to their door etc
[06:07] <EdgEy> :p
[06:07] <EdibleEgg> unop, i'm dual booting with xp
[06:07] <chiefbearclaw> xD
[06:08] <unop> EdibleEgg,  well, you need to have all the dependencies in the same directory if you are going to install it manually then
[06:08] <chiefbearclaw> dual booting is great fun
[06:08] <MrPete> EdibleEgg, same thing here
[06:08] <MrPete> did you install AFTER xp?
[06:09] <EdibleEgg> unop, do you mean if i want to install build-essentials, i would also need libc6-dev, g++, etc. in the same directory? the .deb files i mean
[06:09] <EdibleEgg> mrpete, yes
[06:09] <gcbirzan> How can I find out what package a file belongs in, without having that package installed.
[06:09] <unop> EdibleEgg,  yes
[06:09] <EdibleEgg> unop, k i'll give that a try
[06:09] <MrPete> EDibleEgg, did you get freezes after the usb section of boot?
[06:09] <Hasrat_Usa> dual booting? after installing Linux i didn't find a valid reason to boot to windows again. i don't mean to imply that i hate windows OS though
[06:10] <unop> EdibleEgg,  because build-essential itself is not a real package, it's a metapackage used to bring in all the others .. and anyway, if a package depends on something, it needs to be there
[06:10] <MrPete> Hasrat: Half life 2 :P :)
[06:10] <EdibleEgg> unop, ok, thanks
[06:10] <AJIEXA> hi all, plz help me, I install Gnome splash screen and change default, but now i want set to default, were i can finde it ???
[06:10] <EdibleEgg> mrpete, no i dont get freezes at any point
[06:10] <unop> i.e. the dependencies need to be there
[06:10] <mau> hey
[06:10] <mau> ciaoa tutti
[06:10] <EdibleEgg> hasrat, well i need xp right now because i cant use my wireless card in ubuntu hehe
[06:10] <MrPete> fail. thanks edible
[06:11] <NevroPus> does anyone else have problems with ATI and det newest beryl beta?(2)
[06:11] <Hasrat_Usa> oh half life? i play unreal tournament 2004 in linux a lot. i bought its real copy, not the fake one. i'm planning on buying quak4 but don't have the money right now :P
[06:11] <rpedro> where can I talk to the freenode operators?
[06:11] <gnomefreak> NevroPus: yes everyone does please join #ubuntu-effects for help with it
[06:11] <Nutubuntu> Hi - My current video card is a Rage Pro 3D (yeah, I know it's laughable)  - a really old hand-me-down - and someone just gave me another hand-me-down, an ATI 9600 Pro AIW. Is the process of replacing the Rage Pro 3D going to be a pain? I'm running Dapper ...

[06:12] <TomPurnell> tonyyarusso: some clients dont support it. you can try /quote stats p
[06:13] <MrPete> Unop? you had any experience with ubuntu failing to boot?
[06:13] <tonyyarusso> TomPurnell: true
[06:13] <unop> MrPete,  quite a few times, yes .. but there's no standard fix, it depends on the individual problem at hand
[06:13] <Nutubuntu> Hasrat_Usa - do I need to spec a different driver in xorg.conf ?
[06:14] <Hasrat_Usa> no
[06:14] <Nutubuntu> Thanks, Hasrat_Usa : )
[06:14] <Hasrat_Usa> yw
[06:14] <MrPete> unop, i get to starting filesystem, just after the usb devices have initialised and it stops. i can type, etc, but nothing happens
[06:14] <Hasrat_Usa> but you gotta install the drivers for the new card anyways, if ubuntu can't detect and install its drivers automatically
[06:14] <unop> have you tried unplugging the USB devices to see if that makes a difference?
[06:15] <MrPete> if i mash some keys and wait long enough it gives me a bash error and says unable to find tty, and unable to maout dev/hda/
[06:15] <MrPete> indeed, no change
[06:15] <Doug52392> How do I mount and use my Windows partition in Ubuntu?
[06:15] <Hasrat_Usa> MrPete yours is a amd 64 dual core, right?

[06:17] <Ajedrez> Hi
[06:17] <Nalleman> Anyone, ff uses totem instead of mplayer when I watch streaming video even thou I have installed mplayer plugin for ff. how can I change this?
[06:17] <MrPete> jrib i think he means mandriva
[06:17] <jrib> Nalleman: remove totem plugin
[06:17] <EdibleEgg> unop, no dice on the dpkg -i build-essential.deb, even though i had all the packages it needed in the same directory
[06:17] <kelsin> /win 10
[06:17] <gdfhgjkj> I mean mandriva ^^
[06:17] <Nalleman> jrib, how?
[06:17] <Nutubuntu> Hasrat_Usa - so the procedure would be, swap the cards, then install the new drivers via Envy, then ... ?
[06:17] <jrib> gdfhgjkj: this is #ubuntu, why not try #mandriva?

[06:21] <dromer> damnit, the network of my neighbourhood is boing compromised or something, how can I see what is going on? ond possibly do something about it?
[06:21] <Nalleman> jrib, It worked. Silly of me not to think of this! thanx
[06:21] <jrib> EdibleEgg: is there any reason you are installing build-essential through .deb's instead of using the cd's repository?
[06:21] <EdibleEgg> unop, alright, give me a sec i gotta boot ubuntu and then boot back
[06:21] <Kaso> Is there an equivalent to the windows "alt - codes" for typing funny symbols

[06:22] <EdibleEgg> jrib, ok, i'll try it, kinda weird that it wouldnt put it on there at install though
[06:22] <tonyyarusso> dromer: etherape might be useful

However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[06:26] <Dr_willis> heh im yoo slow
[06:26] <unop> eegore,  why not mount the volume?
[06:27] <leo|> if i run the server CD i will remove what i've installed right?
[06:27] <iGama> does anyone have the contact of a member of EasyUbuntu?!?
[06:27] <jrib> iGama: /join #easyubuntu
[06:27] <Raider1> leo|, There are options in the partition manager that tell it whether or not to format a partition during the installation
[06:28] <iGama> jrib, no one talking there for days
[06:28] <iGama> :s
[06:28] <Dr_willis> leo|,  if you 'install' the server from the server cd.. that normally deletes the prev installed os.
[06:28] <dreamer> tonyyarusso: yes, I'm on a network called surfnet ( www.surfnet.nl )
[06:28] <shary> kto z polski?
[06:28] <leo|> ok i'll have a look Raider1 thx
[06:28] <Incompetnce> how do you change the number of workspaces in edgy?
[06:28] <Raider1> If I'm not mistaken, grub should get installed on /boot right ?

[06:29] <chiefbearclaw> Incompetnce: right click the  workspaces.. > preferences > and change the number.
[06:29] <jrib> iGama: well I know nalioth is involved with it, he'll probably see your message in that channel
[06:29] <TomPurnell> Incompetnce: right click your workspace switcher (next to the trash icon by default) and goto preferences. you can change there
[06:30] <iGama> jrib,  thanks
[06:30] <dannutz> can somenone help me?
[06:30] <dreamer> tonyyarusso: and just now it was tweaking terribly, lost the connection every 10 seconds, seems ok now..

[06:31] <brownie> someone know how to use sound blaster live 5.1 on edgy, i have no sound rear
[06:31] <Nalleman> Now I have installed mplayer plugin for ff and it loads fine. Then it starts to buffer and then--> stopped. aaaarhh! why!?
[06:31] <ZPertee> is rsa or dsa better?
[06:31] <brownie> and amixer Master don't control sound (it's wave surround)
[06:31] <TomPurnell> Nalleman: trying to play unsupported file format / codec?
[06:32] <chiefbearclaw> dannutz: http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html   that is a good thing for installing ati and nvidia drivers (worked better for me than anything else)
[06:32] <chiefbearclaw> I have an ati card and it was a nightmare
[06:32] <Nalleman> TomPurnell, yes. but i have the codecpack installed
[06:32] <chiefbearclaw> that proved to be my best solution... along with a ton of reading so good luck!

[06:33] <davidwinter> hey all
[06:33] <Raider1> omfg .. So no one has any idea what I'm doing wrong ?? ... I created /boot and /swap on hard drive 1 (All are SATA-II) .. Set /boot to bootable, I believe Ext3 file system .. Put the rest of the HDDs and the remainder of that drive on a RAID-5 as / .. Installation successful .. Reboot, it finds no boot record
[06:33] <bruce1> #ubuntu
[06:33] <davidwinter> I've got an old Dell Latitude D266XT off of ebay for my Aunt to use, and want to install Ubuntu. The boot device is not set to CD-ROM first, and I can't change the options in the bios because of some admin password that I don't know :( any advice?
[06:34] <tonyyarusso> Raider1: Is grub installed on the mbr?
[06:35] <Raider1> tonyyarusso, Well, I'd imagine the installer would do that automatically if its required to boot, so yeah, from that assumption I believe it is
[06:35] <dannutz> i'm having problems instaling the latest Nvidia display drivers...
[06:35] <Dr_willis> davidwinter,  reset the bios.. unpluyg machine.. remove battery.. either find the jumper to reset.. or just let it sit over night... or a hr or 2
[06:35] <chiefbearclaw> davidwinter: for dell and a bios password there are often "default" passes used.. its unlikely the owner of the laptop actually set it their self with something unique.  try to google common bios passes.
[06:36] <chiefbearclaw> or ^^
[06:36] <Dr_willis> this is a laptop? Hmm?
[06:36] <tonyyarusso> Raider1: If you changed where stuff was after install it could be confused, but if you did it all at once, yeah, it should be fine.
[06:36] <chiefbearclaw> default as in for example "dell" or "model of the laptop"
[06:36] <Raider1> tonyyarusso, This is going straight from the "Installation Successful" message to rebooting, and it not finding a boot record

[06:37] <Megaqwerty> My "Super" key is being recognized as "Select" can anyone help me fix this?
[06:37] <Raider1> tonyyarusso, The RAID-5 is of course the software RAID as /, /boot is a 200mb standalone partition on hdd1, as is /swap ...
[06:37] <Raider1> tonyyarusso, And /boot does have 'bootable' set to 'on'

[06:39] <Phasor> I was wondering if anyone could help me with installing Beryl on Ubuntu running in Beryl. Every time I have tried before, Ubuntu refuses to start up. That was on Ubuntu 6.10, but now I have installed 6.06 to try it on that.
[06:40] <Phasor> *Sorry, not running in Beryl, running in VMWare
[06:40] <Pici> Phasor: Beryl running inside VMWare?
[06:40] <name> I feel pretty ignored
[06:40] <Phasor> That's the one Pici
[06:40] <wastrel> i don't think you can run beryl inside vmware, no 3d in vmware
[06:40] <Phasor> Oh
[06:40] <Phasor> That would explain why it doesn't work
[06:40] <Phasor> Thanks
[06:40] <tonyyarusso> Raider1: maybe it's looking at a hd other than hd1 for the boot record?  is your bios set to look at the right device?
[06:41] <Pici> Phasor: I heard something recently about VMWare getting 3d accelerator support, but afaik it isnt there yet
[06:41] <chiefbearclaw> name: a lot of stuff happening.. irc requires some 'sticking around'
[06:41] <Phasor> Okay, thanks Pici

[06:42] <wastrel> name:  where do you see it running?
[06:42] <name> wastrel: it sometimes opens itself
[06:42] <tonyyarusso> Raider1: could be a cabling connection issue then?  Is the right one set as master?  (grasping at straws a bit here)

[06:51] <fredl> colbert, that new MBR will start up GRUB, GRUB can then be told 'hey there's Windows on partition such and so.
[06:51] <Pici> Ah.  You'll need to setup the universe repos.

[06:51] <Phasor> Thanks pici
[06:51] <fredl> colbert, actually GRUB will very likely detect that you have Windows installed anyway and will automatically add it to it's meny
[06:51] <payal> thanks

[06:52] <Gartral> idk, it broke itself after i updated
[06:53] <Stormx2> davidwinter: Have you tried changing the boot order in the bios yeah?
[06:53] <payal> Stormx2: but my system does not detect it
[06:53] <colbert> fredl: Okay.. so my goal is to triple boot, with Ubuntu, XP and Vista (all options are available now and GRUB works fine).. however Vista doesn't boot up (hangs after Microsoft logo beginning), but when I disconnect IDE1 (with XP), Vista works fine.. do I have to edit GRUB to make both Windows bootable ?
[06:53] <fredl> Gartral, no you misunderstand, *why* do you conclude it's broken?
[06:53] <davidwinter> Stormx2: some admin password won't let me change the boot order :(
[06:53] <Stormx2> payal: Is it listed as supported?
[06:53] <payal> Stormx2: yes on linprinting
[06:53] <riotkittie> davidwinter: admin pass in BIOS?
[06:53] <Gartral> because synaptic SAYS its broken

[06:53] <gavintlgold> hey guys, I was just wondering: why is it that if you empty the trash and the trash window is open, why doesn't the window close? This would be a nice little timesaving feature (they have it on Mac OS X)
[06:53] <Stormx2> davidwinter: To be honest you'd be better off just removing the battery from your mobo..
[06:53] <fredl> colbert, no you shouldn't need to. I have never used Vista so I don't know what kind of bassackwards stuff it might do.
[06:54] <davidwinter> Stormx2: the little circular one?
[06:54] <Stormx2> payal: Have a look on ubuntuforums.org
[06:54] <payal> Stormx2: I saw similar post on net for this, but no real answer
[06:54] <riotkittie> davidwinter:  is it /your/ computer?
[06:54] <colbert> lol
[06:54] <davidwinter> riotkittie: off of Ebay
[06:54] <Stormx2> davidwinter: Yep.
[06:54] <fredl> colbert, but if you see the Windows logo already, it means that the bootproblem is in Vista itself. Did you do the Vista install on drive 0 and then later change it to drive 1 or something?
[06:54] <jrib> Gartral: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list .  Have you ever had any non-official ubuntu repositories?  Or any repositories for a different version of ubuntu than what you have now?
[06:54] <Phasor> Okay, I've enabled the universe repository, but searching for rosegarden gives no results
[06:54] <UNDERsoN> hi everyone. Can I write files on FreeBsd 6.0 ( Ufs2 ) from Ubuntu 6.10
[06:54] <Stormx2> davidwinter: Is it the case that you put a password on the bios and forgot it?
[06:54] <ghort> RkyRaccoon55, so do a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:54] <ehc> can i install flash player with an .xpi extension with firefox?
[06:55] <davidwinter> Stormx2: I didn't set a password. It came with one
[06:55] <Pici> Phasor: Did you refresh your package lists?
[06:55] <colbert> fredl: Okay, I have googled and it appears that it is something to do with "hiding" the Windows OS's from each other in Grub
[06:55] <RkyRaccoon55> ghort: can i do that from live cd?
[06:55] <kbrosnan> ehc: no that is windows only
[06:55] <jrib> ehc: why not use the flashplugin-nonfree package in multiverse?
[06:55] <riotkittie> davidwinter: yay for ebayed dells. i have an ancient one myself. look into removing the CMOS battery - google and decide if its something you care to undertake
[06:55] <Stormx2> davidwinter: Have a look through the docs which came with the PC
[06:55] <ghort> RkyRaccoon55, you first have to chroot to your installation and it'll work
[06:55] <fredl> colbert, I'm sorry I don't know anything about that. But did you try following the instructions you found?
[06:55] <Phasor> I'm not sure. I edited the sources.list file with gedit (under sudo) and then opened Synaptic
[06:55] <ehc> jrib, okay that will work, what is the name for that?
[06:55] <Stormx2> davidwinter: or google "<manufacturer> bios password"
[06:55] <davidwinter> Stormx2: didn't get any docs, just the laptop itself
[06:55] <riotkittie> davidwinter: taking that battery out for about a min will reset BIOS to the default and remove the password
[06:55] <kbrosnan> ehc: there are binary plugins, those are not cross platform
[06:55] <Phasor> Do I need to click reload or something?
[06:55] <RkyRaccoon55> ghort: in laymans terms?
[06:55] <jrib> ehc: I just gave it to you :P  flashplugin-nonfree
[06:55] <davidwinter> riotkittie: ok, I'll try and find the battery :/
[06:55] <Gartral>  how do i fix my broken package, i cant remove it, and it wont upgrade
[06:55] <knoppix> ya un francais ?
[06:55] <ghort> RkyRaccoon55, but do it from recovery mode if possible (laymans temrs...)
[06:56] <Stormx2> davidwinter: Google for it first.
[06:56] <RkyRaccoon55> haha, ok
[06:56] <Dr_willis> davidwinter,  remove battery. UNPLUG from wall first... -  letit sit a while.. perhaps find some docs where a bios-reset jumper or 'short' point is at. and use a jumper or screwdriver to reset it.

[06:57] <fredl> payal, no.
[06:57] <carld> Anyone here know anything about avidemux?
[06:57] <tonyyarusso> payal: can be
[06:57] <riotkittie> davidwinter: do you not get a message at the BIOS screen that gives you an option for both entering BIOS setup and alternately, using a 1 time boot menu?
[06:57] <jrib> !anyone | carld
[06:57] <ubotu> carld: 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?
[06:57] <payal> I have a free ubuntu 6.06 CD
[06:57] <UNDERsoN> payal yes there are special server edition
[06:57] <tonyyarusso> payal: it can be server, desktop, or both.
[06:57] <finalbeta> carld: I've used it to merge and splits avi/mpeg
[06:57] <Gartral> jrib: synaptic and ALL other apt based programs say that libc6 is broken, i cant  remove or update it
[06:57] <davidwinter> riotkittie: just F2 to enter setup
[06:57] <fredl> payal, my experience is that Ubuntu is fine for desktop stuff but when you get stuck with server problems hardly anybody can help you.
[06:57] <davidwinter> riotkittie: is that what you mean?
[06:57] <finalbeta> carld: that's about all it can do I guess
[06:57] <StoneNote> it can be a dessert AND an oven cleaner
[06:58] <jrib> Gartral: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list .  Have you ever had any non-official ubuntu repositories?  Or any repositories for a different version of ubuntu than what you have now?
[06:58] <carld> finalbeta, I am trying to save an avi for windows that doesn't require I install the divx codec on windows, can it be done?
[06:58] <payal> UNDERsoN: do I need the special server CD or will desktop cd do
[06:58] <Megaqwerty> My "Super" key is being recognized as "Select" can anyone help me fix this?
[06:58] <Gartral> no
[06:58] <kelsin> t%\system32\cmd.exe
[06:58] <Phasor> Forget my question. I am going to download Ubuntu 6.10 and install it on my harddrive rather than run it under VmWare. Should make things a bit easier...
[06:58] <fredl> payal, if  you want to run a server you're better off installing Debian instead.
[06:58] <riotkittie> davidwinter: ew. no. when i boot, i can either press f2 to enter bios, or f12 to get a boot menu that lets me select between hd, cd, floppy, and cardbus nic
[06:58] <Phasor> Bye all
[06:58] <Gartral> all i have active is the one default repo
[06:59] <StoneNote> payal, if you don't have a sever CD you can d/l one from here http://www.ubuntu.com/products/GetUbuntu/download?action=show&redirect=download
[06:59] <finalbeta> carld: I think so, you have to re-encode the file to the proper format, don't know which format windows supports by default, but plain avi should work.
[06:59] <davidwinter> riotkittie: don't get that option.
[06:59] <UNDERsoN> payal no.
[06:59] <davidwinter> I'll try F12 though
[06:59] <payal> fredl: debian scare me, we have a sata harddisk and lot of new hardware
[06:59] <jrib> Gartral: k, installed any debs?  I'm trying to understand how it ended up broken
[06:59] <UNDERsoN> payal you can disable all gui functions manual and install all what you want
[06:59] <payal> StoneNote: very less bandwidth
[06:59] <davidwinter> nope, that didn't work
[06:59] <Stormx2> davidwinter: Whats your laptop brand and manufacturer?
[06:59] <davidwinter> will find the battery and remove it
[06:59] <Stormx2> uhg
[06:59] <carld> finalbeta, I thougth so too, but cannot seem to figure it out, I keep choosing fmt of avi and it keeps telling me I have to install the divx plugin.  Can't find anyway to change the encoding codec either
[06:59] <riotkittie> davidwinter: alternately, have you considered contacting the person who sold it and asking them? might be easier.
[06:59] <Stormx2> model* and manufacturer
[06:59] <davidwinter> Stormx2: Dell Latitude D266XT
[06:59] <fredl> payal, it may take you a bit more time to set up Debian, but you'll find lots more skilled help on the server side on Debian.
[06:59] <Gartral> im telling you, after i installed ubuntu, i updated it, it brok then i havnt done ANYTHING else
[06:59] <payal> fredl: OH!
[07:00] <davidwinter> riotkittie: already tried, no luck
[07:00] <riotkittie> ooh, a d series. i am envious. my latitude's a c :P

[07:00] <jrib> !pastebin | Gartral
[07:00] <payal> I  wanted to try Ubuntu when DanBernteien (author of qmail) said he used ubuntu on his servers
[07:00] <ubotu> Gartral: 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)
[07:00] <cojones_> having a problem that's killing me
[07:00] <StoneNote> payal, can you do torrents?
[07:01] <riotkittie> davidwinter: good luck with the battery thing then. from what i understand, it isnt difficult at all but i've never had need to try it myself.
[07:01] <jrib> cojones_: just assume someone is and ask the question, taht works best
[07:01] <Stormx2> davidwinter: Enter your service number, it will get you the password: http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~skynet/zips/latitude.exe
[07:01] <Megaqwerty> can anyone help me with my above keyboard issue? ^^
[07:01] <Gartral> i still dont get it
[07:01] <payal> StoneNote: not at all, why?
[07:01] <davidwinter> riotkittie: just going to unscrew the thing now and look for it
[07:01] <finalbeta> carld: Don't know, you would have to select the formats on the left side, and then save the output.
[07:01] <UNDERsoN> Firefox 2.0.0.2 avalible
[07:01] <jrib> Gartral: join me in #ubuntu-classroom please
[07:01] <StoneNote> payal, because you can always d/l the iso via torrent
[07:01] <davidwinter> Stormx2: not sure if I've got a service number
[07:01] <Dante123> hi...i'm a teacher and I am looking for software that reads text.....I have the screen reader stuff but that reads the windows and dialogues etc.....I need something to read highlighted text...any suggestions?
[07:01] <davidwinter> Stormx2: I only got the actual laptop and power brick thing
[07:02] <payal> StoneNote: why torrent, why not from site
[07:02] <Dante123> I have festival and LSR on here too
[07:02] <ej159> hi
[07:02] <fredl> so is anybody else also having problems with azureus? It just seems like me and Azureus really don't get along.
[07:02] <Megaqwerty> Dante123: KDE has a good GUI for that...hold on
[07:02] <riotkittie> davidwinter: service tag should be on the underside of the laptop.  worth a shot.
[07:02] <Stormx2> davidwinter: It should say it on the laptop somewhere.
[07:02] <tonyyarusso> Dante123: Not sure if anyone around here at the moment will know.  Your best shot is probably the accessibility team mailing list, see http://lists.ubuntu.com/
[07:02] <StoneNote> payal, you said you had a slow connection payal> StoneNote: very less bandwidth
[07:02] <Dante123> running 6.10 here
[07:02] <Stormx2> Dante123: Where do you live, out of interest?
[07:03] <Dante123> Canada
[07:03] <UNDERsoN> Dante123 Ksayit for example
[07:03] <payal> StoneNote: I thought torrents were slow
[07:03] <Megaqwerty> Dante123: sudo aptitude install kttsd ksayit
[07:03] <ej159> Can anyone help me: I had problems with ati drivers and I get X going and all I see is the X cursor on the grey/dotty background?
[07:03] <kbrosnan> UNDERsoN: not until http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/2.0.0.2/releasenotes/ page has info on it is Firefox 2.0.0.2 out
[07:03] <StoneNote> payal, they can be
[07:03] <davidwinter> Stormx2: riotkittie: looks like some sticker has been peeled off
[07:03] <Dante123> Megaqwery will that work fine with ubuntu 6.10
[07:04] <riotkittie> payal: if people are seeding, theyre not slow at all. unfortunately, the older a torrent is, the less likely people are to serve it
[07:04] <lyam> something strange has happened to firefox: while it tries to loag java app, it suddenly closes. this happens just in my account. Question: what to copy of firefox/java configs to make it work?
[07:04] <payal> oh
[07:04] <Dr_willis> ej159,  how are you 'starting' X to get that?
[07:04] <UNDERsoN> kbrosnan this page is slow there are normal 2.0.0.2 version bee sure. On site it will be avalible in a day or 2
[07:04] <Stormx2> davidwinter: My last suggestion is 'Dell"
[07:04] <Megaqwerty> Dante123: yeah, I use it in 6.10
[07:04] <cojones_>  anyone know how to fix winecfg loading up an empty window (just has the background) and won't render anything
[07:04] <Dante123> okay thanks....
[07:04] <dannutz> what is the command to edit XF86Config-4??
[07:04] <ej159> I'm typing "X" under prompt (what's the proper name for it?)
[07:05] <gnomefreak> firefox 2.0.0.2 was released today. we will be dicussing it for feisty/edgy tomorrow
[07:05] <Stormx2> ej159: tty1?
[07:05] <ej159> should it be "start X"?
[07:05] <StoneNote> gnomefreak, cool
[07:05] <cojones_> same with 'wine notepad' ...  loads up but hangs
[07:05] <Stormx2> ej159: startx
[07:05] <fredl> Dannutz - gksudo gedit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 ?
[07:05] <UNDERsoN> I wanna write files in FreBsd 6.0 ( ufs2) partition? is it real
[07:05] <fredl> Dannutz, or vim /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
[07:06] <davidwinter> Stormx2: a last resort
[07:06] <fredl> or emacsOS /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 :P
[07:06] <ej159> thanks storm
[07:06] <ej159> bye
[07:06] <Megaqwerty> My "Super" key is being recognized as "Select" can anyone help me fix this?
[07:06] <dannutz> it's a empty file...
[07:06] <Dante123> Megaqwerty does running the sudo line you posted install item to applications menu bar as well?
[07:06] <riotkittie> davidwinter: sounds like someone sold you a stolen laptop. heh. :/ uhm, try googling +"dell your-model-# here" +"service tag"
[07:06] <cojones_> anyone what would cause wine to load but hang w/ no gfx output?
[07:06] <Megaqwerty> Dante123: yes, it will be in the applications menu, under accessibility
[07:06] <fredl> Dannutz, that very probable as it's no longer used on Ubuntu AFAIK.
[07:07] <UNDERsoN> WHO CAN TELL ME can I write files on freebsd partition? ( freebsd 6.1 filesystem UFS2) Please Help me!
[07:07] <kbrosnan> gnomefreak: the official word is that is not out yet, i know the people who release it. it is not offical till the site is up http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/preed/2006/10/the_antirelease.html
[07:07] <ag0ny> could someone tell me how to get umlauts in a aterm?
[07:07] <payal> How do I know which version of ubuntu a machine has
[07:07] <fredl> UNDERsoN - http://www.google.com/search?q=ufs2+ubuntu&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
[07:07] <Stormx2> UNDERsoN: uhg... on to a freebsd partition? what type is it?
[07:08] <Stormx2> UNDERsoN: Wait, UFS2... just google...
[07:08] <jrib> !version | payal
[07:08] <ubotu> payal: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type  lsb_release -a  in a !shell
[07:08] <gnomefreak> kbrosnan: its waiting its been uploaded
[07:08] <riotkittie> UNDERsoN: if the partition is mounted r/w and you have the proper permissions , i'd imagine that you can. but ... i know nothing about freeBSD
[07:08] <payal> great
[07:08] <Flamekebab> Is there a reason that evdev doesn't seem to work in feisty?
[07:08] <fredl> coffeetime for me.
[07:08] <gnomefreak> Flamekebab: try in #ubuntu+1
[07:08] <lastnode> what's the current feisty kernel?
[07:08] <Flamekebab> cheers, gnomefreak
[07:08] <riotkittie> stealfredl'scoffeetime for me
[07:08] <macos_____> lamers and hacker ONLINE?
[07:09] <gnomefreak> lastnode: #ubuntu+1 and its 2.6.20
[07:09] <Megaqwerty> My "Super" key is being recognized as "Select" can anyone help me fix this? I seriously need this fixed!
[07:09] <Mattias> Flamekebab: odd, evdev works in edgy
[07:09] <Mattias> ^_^
[07:09] <ehc> is there a way see which codecs you have installed and which you don't?
[07:09] <UNDERsoN> Stormx2 But is it real or not?

[07:09] <Dante123> Megaqwerty....works thanks a lot
[07:09] <Stormx2> UNDERsoN: Pardon?
[07:10] <UNDERsoN> Stormx2 To write files on a UFS2 partition
[07:10] <Megaqwerty> Dante123: you're welcome
[07:10] <shwag> how do I stop mysql from starting at boot ?
[07:10] <UNDERsoN> Linux_ Torvalds ?
[07:10] <UNDERsoN> %)
[07:10] <wolfeySI> isnt he Linus
[07:11] <riotkittie> yes, he's Linus
[07:11] <sharms> shwag: man update-rc.d
[07:11] <Stormx2> He's also a kde fanboy ^.^
[07:11] <wolfeySI> GNOME FOREVER:)
[07:11] <UNDERsoN> Stormx Yeah he perfer to write pathes
[07:11] <riotkittie> oh dear. let's not start another pointless DE debate. :P
[07:12] <Stormx2> no, lets (:
[07:12] <Flamekebab> heh
[07:12] <sharms> !tell stormx2 about offtopic
[07:12] <payal> which is the default package for CD/DVD burning with Dapper
[07:12] <ag0ny> could someone tell me how to get umlauts in a aterm?
[07:13] <wolfeySI> payal: k3b is best
[07:13] <Stormx2> !tell sharms about sarcasm
[07:13] <riotkittie> bwahaha
[07:13] <Stormx2> k3b is by far the best
[07:13] <shwag> is there a doc for compiling my own custom kernel in ubuntu ?
[07:13] <Stormx2> !kernel
[07:13] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[07:14] <gOLdenHaWK3D> hi all
[07:14] <UNDERsoN> payal you can use k3b gnome baker or nero linux
[07:14] <Stormx2> hi gOLdenHaWK3D
[07:15] <payal> great I will go for k3b
[07:16] <jmazaredo> can i install rpm packages in ubuntu
[07:16] <Stormx2> alien
[07:16] <Stormx2> !alien
[07:16] <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)
[07:17] <payal> is star office supported in ubuntu
[07:17] <Stormx2> jmazaredo: Look for a deb, or compile from source before you fool around with alien
[07:17] <sharms> jmazaredo: if you are trying to install an rpm, you are probably going about things wrong
[07:17] <jmazaredo> ~_~
[07:18] <ehc> democracy player won't play downloaded videos from youtube, but i can watch videos from youtube in firefox. any have any ideas?
[07:18] <Hasrat_Usa> the kde screenshots are annoying
[07:18] <loppa> Gad, I need help to find out what my graphics card is called, or eventually install som drivers for it.
[07:18] <loppa> Using ubuntu 6.10 or something.
[07:18] <Roscar> Hi, I'm replaceing my ati radeon with a nvidia geforce. I'm running the open ati driver. Is there anything I need to do before I powerdown and swap the hardware?
[07:19] <loppa> Anybody know how?
[07:19] <kbrosnan> ehc: can democracy handle flash?
[07:19] <wolfeySI> loppa: 'dmesg' shows what kernel detected
[07:19] <UNDERsoN> payal I've been intall 2 years ago But now I use open office professional and i'm fine ) and all office use it to
[07:19] <wolfeySI> 'lspci' shows devices
[07:19] <Hasrat_Usa> kbrosnan nope
[07:19] <ehc> kbrosnan, i don't know if it changes the format when it downloads them?
[07:19] <loppa> wolfeySI: Well, okay, done that, now what?
[07:19] <Roscar> Or will ubuntu detect the changed hardware and edit Xorg.conf for me?
[07:20] <payal> UNDERsoN: oh I wish star office was supported too
[07:20] <loppa> A bunch of things just go listed.
[07:20] <gOLdenHaWK3D> ehc: try vlc
[07:20] <jmazaredo> if i download a source unto my desktop and install it, can I delete the downloaded?,
[07:20] <ZPertee> what does the different ubuntu names refer to(such as edgy, fiesty, etc)?
[07:20] <wolfeySI> loppa: well basicly lspci should report it
[07:20] <wolfeySI> somewhere
[07:20] <Stormx2> kbrosnan: youtube files a .flv played in a flash player
[07:21] <wolfeySI> dmesg shows loaded drivers
[07:21] <ehc> gOLdenHaWK3D, what format of video should i try vlc with?
[07:21] <wolfeySI> (so if you are looking for driver, it is no help)
[07:21] <gOLdenHaWK3D> ehc: i think youtuve vidz are in flv format
[07:21] <gOLdenHaWK3D> *youtube
[07:21] <gordonjcp> gOLdenHaWK3D: they are
[07:21] <LinuxGuy2006> I uninstalled an app, but now configuration editor is still showing the app and still allowing me to change its settings, but the app is GONE. how do I fix this?
[07:21] <gordonjcp> gOLdenHaWK3D: greasemonkey scripts can rip them, mplayer can play them, mencoder can recode to another format
[07:22] <jrib> ZPertee: just development names, most don't mean anything special.  Mark just liked them...  he usually gives some background as to why he likes the name when he announces it
[07:22] <Pici> LinuxGuy2006: Did you use the purge option when you removed the application?
[07:22] <wolfeySI> loppa: then if it displays chip name google for driver
[07:22] <ehc> gOLdenHaWK3D, but i can't download the flv from youtube.com
[07:22] <UNDERsoN> payal I think so
[07:22] <LinuxGuy2006> purge?
[07:22] <gOLdenHaWK3D> gordonjcp: oh. its good!
[07:22] <gOLdenHaWK3D> ehc: u have firefox?
[07:23] <Pici> LinuxGuy2006: Yes, purge, just normal uninstalling does not remove the configuration files.
[07:23] <loppa> wolfeySI, I think I'll wait with it. Beer sales is about to shut down, so I gotta get me some beers first.
[07:23] <Stormx2> gOLdenHaWK3D: What is an "u"?
[07:23] <loppa> Then I'll look into that crap later.
[07:23] <ZPertee> jrib: ok
[07:23] <wolfeySI> ok loppa
[07:23] <gOLdenHaWK3D> Stormx2: oh! :(
[07:23] <Roscar> Hi, I'm replaceing my ati radeon with a nvidia geforce. I'm running the open ati driver. Is there anything I need to do before I powerdown and swap the hardware? Or will ubuntu detect the changed hardware and edit Xorg.conf for me?
[07:23] <loppa> Man I'm fed up with 'puters. I tried to smash my keyboard with my foot today. Got damn thing broke something in my ankel.
[07:23] <gOLdenHaWK3D> ehc: you have firefox?
[07:23] <ehc> gOLdenHaWK3D, yes
[07:23] <Stormx2> loppa: There is a lesson to be learnt here...
[07:24] <wolfeySI> Roscar: if not, you can write   X -configure
[07:24] <Hasrat_Usa> the answer of the first question is no and the for the second one: yes
[07:24] <LinuxGuy2006> yes, I told synaptic to completely remove the app including all config files
[07:24] <Pici> LinuxGuy2006: Hmm..
[07:24] <wolfeySI> Roscar: that's what ubuntu does to configure it first time
[07:24] <loppa> Stormx2: Jeah, never feck with a keyboard.
[07:24] <Assid> heya
[07:24] <kbrosnan> gOLdenHaWK3D: in his first question about democracy he said he di
[07:24] <loppa> Damnit, I can hardly walk.
[07:24] <gOLdenHaWK3D> ehc: you need to download a addin for firefox to download youtube videos
[07:24] <Roscar> wolfeySI: ok, thanks. wish me luck!
[07:24] <Assid> err.. i am tryng to install kubuntu-desktop.. but i keep getting dependencies issues
[07:24] <Pici> LinuxGuy2006: I'm not sure, I thought that would be it.
[07:25] <Assid> isnt apt supposed to handle these for me
[07:25] <loppa> I did throw my guitar-amp on it. As revenge. Before I broke down and screamed like hell because of the foot.
[07:25] <kbrosnan> gOLdenHaWK3D: he alredy has the downloaded video, he wanted to play it in democracy player
[07:25] <davidwinter> I've disconnected the battery for the bios, how long should I leave it do you think before trying to turn it back on?
[07:25] <gOLdenHaWK3D> kbrosnan: oh! i just joined, so sorry
[07:25] <ehc> kbrosnan, i don't know where democracy player stored the videos though
[07:25] <gOLdenHaWK3D> ehc: search the pc!
[07:26] <gOLdenHaWK3D> ehc: search for all files with extension flv
[07:26] <Hasrat_Usa> gOLdenHaWK3D as an alternative, you can visit www.keepvid.com, drag the java script button into your bookmark panel in firefox, and the next time you see a flash file, just click on the button and the video will be saved automatically without any hassle or gimmick
[07:27] <Assid> err. can someone help me with this?
[07:27] <gOLdenHaWK3D> Hasrat_Usa: oh! its quite good! thanx
[07:27] <Assid> if i try and install kubuntu-desktop package it says i need amarok and kopete
[07:28] <Assid> i dont get why apt doesnt just get them
[07:28] <Hasrat_Usa> nah i didn't mean to annoy you or act like a smart ass lol. i'm just talking about one of my favourite ways of saving those flash files :P
[07:28] <wolfeySI> Assid: perhaps check your repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list and apt-get update  first ?
[07:29] <gOLdenHaWK3D> Hasrat_Usa: no, i didnt quite knew it! thanx anyways. I use an extension to save them to my pc though!
[07:29] <ehc> i can play .avi's with vlc
[07:29] <Hasrat_Usa> ehc huh?
[07:29] <w0rmy> hi, I wanted to know if there is a way to like "benchmark" the system. after making few updates everything runs really really slow, tried that hosts file tweaking but its still slow, any idea ? top shows nothing irregular

[07:30] <ubotu> mad: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[07:30] <StoneNote> Assid, if you mean that apt should automagically get them for you, it's been noted that apt's esp module still needs some work. in the meantime it's suggested you add them to your << sudo apt-get install >> line
[07:30] <ehc> okay, yes vlc is working for both of those.
[07:30] <AdamF> Can anyone enlighten me as to why apt-index-watch is causing my cpu monitor to look like an ECG machine? It's only recently started consuming oodles of cycles and it's annoying :x
[07:30] <wolfeySI> emerge gentoo ;)
[07:30] <madhu> This is the first time I am coming to #ubuntu. I want a small help
[07:30] <arrenlex> StoneNote: Really? apt-esp always installs everything I want for me.
[07:30] <Assid> wolfeySI: nothing wrong with my /etc/apt/sources.list   apt-get update works perfect
[07:30] <iulian_> hi
[07:30] <madhu> All these days I was using fedora
[07:31] <arrenlex> !ask | madhu
[07:31] <ubotu> madhu: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:31] <Assid> AdamF: doesnt it work on the same apt modules as debian?
[07:31] <StoneNote> arrenlex, I forgot apt's birthday so I'm on the outs :(
[07:31] <iulian_> have a question: how can i remove a dir that is non-empty?
[07:31] <wolfeySI> Assid: then listen to StoneNote and apt-get install those two yourself
[07:31] <iulian_> I use rmdir
[07:31] <madhu> So I don't know anyhting about Ubuntu
[07:31] <Assid> wolfeySI: they have their own requirements.. so the list just keeps going on and on
[07:31] <Pici> iulian_: rm -rf directoryname
[07:31] <ehc> in democracy player i opened a .flv and i can hear sound but it has a black screen
[07:31] <arrenlex> StoneNote: Ouch. Have you tried getting her those new beryl repositories she wanted?
[07:31] <Assid> this needs that.. and so forth
[07:31] <iulian_> Pici: thanks
[07:31] <NightCircle> iulian_: rm directory -r
[07:31] <StoneNote> arrenlex, lol
[07:32] <Assid> hrmm doesnt gaim have nick hilight ?
[07:32] <madhu> Now by reading so many articles about ubuntu on the net I am very much interested in it
[07:32] <gOLdenHaWK3D> ehc: sorry, never used democracy player!
[07:32] <gOLdenHaWK3D> madhu: its good to hear that
[07:32] <arrenlex> Assid: Yes, gaim does.
[07:32] <zigma> hello people
[07:33] <madhu> I have downloaded a CD version of Edgy Eft x86_64 bit
[07:33] <Hasrat_Usa> lol
[07:33] <Assid> arrenlex: where
[07:33] <gOLdenHaWK3D> hi zigma
[07:33] <swanfl> I reported a bug recently about Open Office, specifically regarding the database form wizard not completing. Some of the responses to this bug leads me to say that this is indeed a deal breaker for Ubuntu/Kubuntu. One of the principles of Open Source is "fast bug fixes"
[07:33] <arrenlex> Assid: in IRC.
[07:33] <swanfl> what happened?
[07:34] <madhu> My Question is, Is there GCC in Ubuntu Edgy Eft CD? Is it possible to install it without connecting to Internet?
[07:34] <dasholzbein> hi. I have different account on an ubuntu system. But one account has a resolution of 640x480 and I don't know why.
[07:34] <madhu> Can any one help please?
[07:34] <Hasrat_Usa> there is g, g++, gcc++, python, perl etc in ubuntu
[07:34] <StoneNote> Assid, one suggestion is to use aptitude rather than apt, since it handles dependencies better
[07:34] <arrenlex> madhu: Yes. The build-essential package. The CD can be mounted as a repository using the apt-cdrom command.
[07:34] <Hasrat_Usa> is = are
[07:34] <arrenlex> madhu: man apt-cdrom for details how to use it.
[07:34] <gOLdenHaWK3D> madhu: yup
[07:34] <arrenlex> madhu: Then apt-get install build-essential
[07:34] <iulian_> what can I dow if I forgot password from mysql serrver/
[07:34] <iulian_> ?
[07:35] <Assid> arrenlex: not there :( only quit message
[07:35] <arrenlex> StoneNote: No, it doesn't. It just installs recommended packages also, so you have more useless crap on your system. apt only installs packages you actually need.
[07:35] <Cranah> ffs
[07:35] <nano> hey
[07:35] <nano> i need some help
[07:35] <arrenlex> !hi | nano
[07:35] <ubotu> nano: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[07:35] <arrenlex> !ask | nano
[07:35] <ubotu> nano: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:36] <nano> ok
[07:36] <madhu> Thanks for your suggestions will try and also one more thing, Is there emacs in the Ubuntu CD itself which can be installed without internet?
[07:36] <zackglennie> where can I get more visualizations for totem?
[07:36] <arrenlex> madhu: Yep.
[07:36] <nano> i am trying to make a dual boot...
[07:36] <iulian_> so, what can I do if I can't find my password for mysql ?
[07:36] <Assid> wolfeySI: okay how do i go ahead and fix this ? so it does everything on its own
[07:36] <nano> wait
[07:36] <Hasrat_Usa> nano. big deal! how can we help you?
[07:37] <Pici> iulian_: try asking in #mysql
[07:37] <nano> hold on
[07:37] <wolfeySI> Assid: well start by sources.list .. universe, multiverse ...
[07:37] <iulian_> ok
[07:37] <linxeh> arrenlex: where is emacs on the ubuntu cd exactly ?
[07:37] <madhu> arrenlex: is the method same to install emacs
[07:37] <Assid> get rid of which ?
[07:37] <Assid> err.. where do i get the "default" sources.list?
[07:37] <StoneNote> iulian_, if it's mysql prior to 5.0 then the password is in /etc/mysql/my.conf
[07:37] <nano> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=368566
[07:38] <zackglennie> madhu: put the Ubuntu cd in the drive and type "sudo apt-get install emacs" at a command line.
[07:38] <gOLdenHaWK3D> Hasrat_Usa: Keepvid is a cool site, thanx
[07:38] <nano> it's my first time partitioning and i'm afraid to mess up, so can someone please tell me the smoothest way to solve my problem? if it is a problem?
[07:38] <Hasrat_Usa> okay hawk
[07:38] <madhu> zackglennie: Thank you will do it today only.
[07:39] <Guychi> Hi! I try to remove a file called "-temp.txt" but get: rm "-temp.txt"
[07:39] <Guychi> rm: invalid option -- t
[07:39] <madhu> Thanks everyone here for suggestions.
[07:39] <AdamF> Assid: Sorry I got called away. I'm not sure, in answer to your question. All I know is that every 2 or 3 seconds it rises to the top CPU-consumer in 'top' for a second or two, then falls away again.. then back up.. all the time.
[07:39] <ardchoille> !mysql
[07:39] <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+)
[07:39] <madhu> Will come back to this channel later

[07:41] <Assid> atleast i think DSL can be booted from usb

[07:41] <Assid> you just take the USB .. boot from it, and voila. you are up and running
[07:41] <lesshaste> breakin: exactly
[07:41] <arrenlex> Guychi: You silly goose, rm actually tells you how to do it! xD Try `rm ./-bob' to remove the file `-bob'.

[07:46] <arrenlex> StoneNote: *shrug* a package either depends on another or it doesn't. It's not that hard. I don't know hat they're talking about. The only difference between apt and aptitude was that a) aptitude has a GUI if needed, and b) aptitude kept track of what packages were installed to satisfy dependencies and removed them when the original package was removed. Now that apt has autoremove, that point is moot.

[08:00] <marshall> hey guys
[08:00] <hairulfr> Hello marshall
[08:00] <marshall> i have a .bin cd image, anybody know how i can burn it?
[08:00] <nano> you guys are nice
[08:01] <mwe> marshall: I think k3b handles them
[08:01] <nano> thanks for the help
[08:01] <nano> cya later
[08:01] <StoneNote> marshall, I believe you need a .cue to go with the .bin
[08:01] <wolfeySI> marshall: bin2iso
[08:01] <marshall> StoneNote: i dont think i have one of those :/
[08:01] <aCeNoSweet> can you burn it to dvds, ? and incode it,
[08:01] <aCeNoSweet> what best of do this,
[08:02] <wolfeySI> you cant burn cue/bin in k3b (you can in nero)
[08:02] <wolfeySI> k3b likes iso
[08:02] <mwe> wolfeySI: are you sure?
[08:02] <aCeNoSweet> i meen like 600 gb
[08:02] <wolfeySI> mwe: well it was long ago last time i checked
[08:02] <MatrixMon> Can anyone help me?
[08:02] <wolfeySI> perhaps it does
[08:02] <wolfeySI> bin2iso if not
[08:02] <arrenlex> wolfeySI: Really? It lists cue in the menu.
[08:02] <dyrne> marshall: i dont think k3b has a cdemu plugin or andything. youll have to convert to iso i believe
[08:02] <mwe> wolfeySI: I think I did it once. not sure, though.
[08:02] <wolfeySI> arrenlex: okey
[08:02] <StoneNote> marshall, I don't think you can burn it without it.  The .BIN / .CUE CD image format was made popular by the CDRWin software. Afterwards many programs have started supporting or partially supporting it, including: Nero, Blindwrite, CloneCD, FireBurner. The .CUE file contains the track layout information, while the .BIN file holds the actual data.
[08:03] <wolfeySI> againt, bin2iso
[08:03] <wolfeySI> :)
[08:03] <marshall> ok, thanks everyone
[08:03] <mwe> it's usually easy to create a .cue file if it's missing
[08:03] <StoneNote> wolfeySI, that works even without the .cue?
[08:03] <wolfeySI> StoneNote: not sure
[08:03] <davidwinter> what are the available install methods for Ubuntu?
[08:03] <breakin> mwe: well if it's one big partition anyway ;)
[08:03] <davidwinter> besides CD?
[08:03] <Pici> !install | davidwinter

[08:04] <arrenlex> aCeNoSweet: Do you absolutely HAVE to be on #ubuntu while drunk?
[08:04] <Pici> !offtopic
[08:04] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[08:04] <aCeNoSweet> yes  in a way i just had sex

[08:07] <marshall> lol
[08:07] <marshall> does anybody know of a better office suite for linux than OO.o?
[08:07] <morrolan> I'm trying libsdl-dev, but it fails. When I trace back the error (try to install each dependancy) I get an error saying that I need libglu1-mesa6.5.1~20060817, but I have 6.5.1+cvs20060824 installed instead?  I'm trying to install a game which requires the libsdl-dev
[08:07] <kski_> what does it mean when i try to run ./configure and i get this error? checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[08:07] <jrib> kski_: install build-essential
[08:08] <kski_> thanks
[08:08] <Pici> jrib: how do you do that so fast?
[08:08] <Pici> I must be lagging
[08:08] <jrib> kski_: have you checked that what you are compiling is not in the repositories?
[08:08] <jrib> Pici: probably, I used to have an alias for that one, but I just type it out
[08:08] <marshall> also, does anybody know where i can get a listen 0.5 .deb for edgy?
[08:08] <kski_> i'm trying to get kismet going, it's in there but i can't get it to run right
[08:09] <MatrixMon> Does anyone know of a good iso burner for linux?
[08:09] <prem> hi ppl

[08:09] <wolfeySI> :)
[08:09] <aCeNoSweet> canyou install ubuntu in a usb 2 key? with ou need to format from fat
[08:09] <aCeNoSweet> out
[08:09] <flossgeek> MatrixMon: Gnomebaker
[08:09] <dyrne> kski_: youll have to edit the config file under /etc and uncomment the line for your card. google has examples
[08:09] <betatux> MatrixMon, NeroLinux ?
[08:09] <MatrixMon> Thanks
[08:09] <StoneNote> MatrixMon, I like gnomebaker, others like K3b
[08:09] <aCeNoSweet> 2 Gb key usb
[08:09] <jrib> MatrixMon: you can just right click on files and burn them too if you have nautilus-cd-burner installed
[08:10] <prem> in terminal am not getting the computer name!!any help?
[08:10] <morrolan> Encountered trouble installing UFO:Alien Invasion - I'm trying to install libsdl-dev, but it fails. When I trace back the error (try to install each dependancy) I get an error saying that I need libglu1-mesa6.5.1~20060817, but I have 6.5.1+cvs20060824 installed instead?
[08:10] <betatux> prem, what do you mean , no computer name ?
[08:10] <morrolan> prem , have you tried to change your hostname?
[08:10] <MatrixMon> I need to rip and iso

[08:11] <d4r3k> hi
[08:11] <morrolan> prem , yes I understand that, but have you tried to change your computer name?
[08:11] <arrenlex> !hi | d4r3k
[08:11] <ubotu> d4r3k: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[08:11] <betatux> prem, what's in the file /etc/hosts ?
[08:11] <d4r3k> i have a problem ;] 
[08:11] <arrenlex> !ask | d4r3k
[08:11] <ubotu> d4r3k: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:11] <d4r3k> :)
[08:11] <morrolan> prem , do less /etc/hostname
[08:11] <prem> nope i never chamged it
[08:11] <prem> how>
[08:11] <d4r3k> so i installed xubuntu with problems (veeery long boot process)
[08:11] <d4r3k> now it works
[08:12] <morrolan> prem , at a console, type:     less /etc/hostname
[08:12] <d4r3k> but booting is very long too
[08:12] <mwe> it's set in /etc/hosts
[08:12] <MatrixMon> WindowsXp | rip -iso
[08:12] <morrolan> and then tell us EXACTLY what it says
[08:12] <d4r3k> process standing at mounting root file system
[08:12] <aCeNoSweet> i have fat thrit2 usb key
[08:12] <pyrooo> hi! just wanted to say thanks to you guys, i succesfuly migrated my brothers company to ubuntu :D
[08:12] <hdxx> d4r3k: this booting is normal
[08:12] <morrolan> mwe - I know, but it's easier to see in /etc/hostname
[08:12] <d4r3k> hdxx, no, it is too long
[08:12] <StoneNote> pyrooo, congrats
[08:13] <d4r3k> mounting root fs is 3 minutes
[08:13] <betatux> pyrooo, what kind of company ?
[08:13] <Pici> pyrooo: Congrats
[08:13] <mwe> aCeNoSweet: what is that?
[08:13] <prem> no change
[08:13] <arrenlex> mwe: Translated from moron: a fat32 usb stick
[08:13] <morrolan> prem what does it say?  I don't care if it hasn't changed, I was asking what it said :)
[08:14] <pyrooo> thanks. its a comapny that develops new theqniues for tranferring the LCD's glass part (its a very, very thin part - 1mm) across lands
[08:14] <pyrooo> very succesful i might add :)
[08:14] <arrenlex> pyrooo: You mean there are whole lands covered with LCD screens?! :D
[08:14] <arrenlex> pyrooo: Where might I find these magical lands?!
[08:14] <betatux> hehe
[08:14] <sebanio> Hey there lads!
[08:14] <prem> it said /etc/hostname end
[08:14] <morrolan> prem - ok, instead type      cat /etc/hostname
[08:15] <mwe> aCeNoSweet: transfer all the files from the mini iso and rename isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg then install syslinux on it and boot it
[08:15] <prem> morrolan,then
[08:15] <aCeNoSweet>  my usb key it 2 GB usb in file fat thirt two   ever i let it auto fatmat will not install
[08:15] <mzuverink> Ive got both kubuntu and ubuntu (kde and gnome) on one machine and am wondering if using adept will screw with synaptic, should I always use the same one?  And not switch between the two?
[08:15] <pyrooo> heh :D
[08:15] <sebanio> I tried to install the takushi drivers for my canon i550 but couldn't get it done...anyone ever done it and willing to help??
[08:15] <morrolan> prem - then tell us what it says
[08:15] <gOLdenHaWK3D> prem: just paste the output of cat /etc/hostname
[08:15] <pyrooo> they sell their patents to SONY, SAMSUNG, TOSHIBA... etc'
[08:16] <prem> it give s blank space and again prem@none
[08:16] <soundray> mzuverink: it's okay to switch
[08:16] <pyrooo> and because he's company grew real fast, he needed new boxes -> new licenses for XP :|
[08:16] <morrolan> gOLdenHaW3D - that's what I'm trying to ask him to do, but it's an uphill struggle!
[08:16] <mzuverink> soundray, thanks
[08:16] <morrolan> prem - now we're getting somewhere!
[08:16] <gOLdenHaWK3D> morrolan: lol
[08:17] <prem> gOLdenHaWK3D,am not gettin anythin
[08:17] <nemesis> elda
[08:17] <prem> after doin cat /etc/hostname
[08:17] <morrolan> prem, that's OK, your system has lost it's hostname
[08:18] <prem> so wht should i do?
[08:18] <StoneNote> morrolan, I hear a group headed by the Dred Pirate Peer is stealing hostname's.
[08:18] <morrolan> prem - I'm working on it
[08:18] <morrolan> StoneNote - well fair enough, but that isn't going to reset it on his computer unless he has been compromised is it?
[08:18] <aCeNoSweet> i have 1 leg,
[08:19] <mwe> I'd use the same windows license for a new machine. I doubt MS could do anything about it even if their EULA says otherwise if you only use it on one machine
[08:19] <arrenlex> mwe: You have to activate them.
[08:19] <soundray> mwe: the problem is, it's not easy to get a new machine without a new Windows license
[08:20] <mwe> arrenlex: yes
[08:20] <grndslm> i have a VERY serious problem...pretty sure my swap space got too full, so I had to restart without properly shutting down....and now on bootup, it complains about being unable to resolve UUID=fba54......, and when i go to the /dev folder...I can see every partition except for hdc4, which is my home dir
[08:20] <a5benwillis> I changed my clock setting on my server, now when I run SUDO i get an error "sudo: timestamp to far in the future". WHAT CAN I DO??
[08:20] <gOLdenHaWK3D> prem: just type       sudo hostname <hostname> in terminal
[08:20] <arrenlex> mwe: So if you keep using the same license, they'll reject activation at some point.
[08:20] <morrolan> prem - ok, please type:     cat /etc/hosts and tell me what it says.  Just the top few lines
[08:20] <gOLdenHaWK3D> prem: set hostname to whatever you wish
[08:20] <hdxx> a5benwillis: you change your local time?
[08:20] <Pici> a5benwillis: sudo -k
[08:20] <morrolan> prem - or do what gOLdenHaW3D said!
[08:21] <grndslm> how do i mount something that doesn't exist in /dev?  or did i really delete my whole home dir?
[08:21] <mwe> arrenlex: at some point maybe. I once illegally installed with the same key on 5 machines, though. I wouldn't do it again and it was a temporary solution.
[08:21] <a5benwillis> hdxx: Yes
[08:21] <a5benwillis> Pici: That didnt do anyhting
[08:21] <Nalleman> Hi, im having problem with my firefox plugin for mplayer. When im trying to watch streaming video the plugin just goes "stopped". help please
[08:21] <morrolan> prem - beware of spaces and other strange characters
[08:21] <hdxx> a5benwillis: in that case i just restart x
[08:21] <mwe> arrenlex: I mean if I buy a new PC after two years I'm pretty sure I could activate again
[08:21] <prem> am gettin bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
[08:21] <a5benwillis> oh ok
[08:21] <hsm> hi
[08:22] <Pici> a5benwillis: sudo -k invalidates the timestamp, next time you run sudo it should work
[08:22] <soundray> a5benwillis: try 'sudo -K' then
[08:22] <gOLdenHaWK3D> prem: what hostname are you setting?
[08:22] <wolfeySI> Nalleman: perhaps you need win32 codecs ?
[08:22] <fiXXXerMet> Any chance of getting a dovecot-sieve package?
[08:22] <StoneNote> morrolan, I've played with hostname a bit.  he could accidently reset it using a command, but to permanently reset it, he'd have to alter the /etc/hostname file OR have made the change using network-admin after entering his root password
[08:22] <mwe> arrenlex: maybe that will change, though. don't know
[08:22] <prem> prem12
[08:22] <morrolan> grndslm - have you tried installing gparted to look for the partition?
[08:22] <a5benwillis> Pici: That worked but I still get the error
[08:22] <hdxx> wolfeySI: i feel slovenia too :D
[08:22] <a5benwillis> I was able to run sudo though
[08:22] <morrolan> StoneNote - i've just been looking and I can't find where in Networking to change it, and I know I've seen it
[08:22] <gOLdenHaWK3D> prem: sudo hostname prem12
[08:23] <prem> dude whn i do cat /etc/hosts am gettin  The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
[08:23] <hsm> hi guys

[08:23] <Nalleman> wolfeySI, Got that already. But thanx anyway
[08:23] <StoneNote> morrolan, under network-admin it's under the General tab
[08:23] <grndslm> morrolan:  i'm assuming i'd have to use the gparted livecd or something with gparted??
[08:23] <morrolan> prem ok, do what was said above
[08:23] <hsm> where can i get a good sources list?
[08:23] <Pici> a5benwillis: try it with a capital 5
[08:23] <soundray> !easysource | hsm
[08:23] <ubotu> hsm: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[08:23] <arrenlex> !easysource | hsm
[08:23] <morrolan> grndslam - can you not install it?
[08:23] <Pici> a5benwillis: er, that didnt make sense, I meant a capital K
[08:23] <hdxx> Nalleman: download mediaplayer .. this is firefox addon
[08:23] <arrenlex> soundray!! *shakes fist*
[08:23] <a5benwillis> lol
[08:23] <morrolan> cfdisk at a terminal should show you your partitions
[08:23] <wolfeySI> hdxx: ka je a s slovenc?
[08:23] <wolfeySI> :)
[08:23] <hdxx> ja:)
[08:23] <hsm> thank you very much
[08:23] <morrolan> I'm trying to install libsdl-dev, but it fails. When I trace back the error (try to install each dependancy) I get an error saying that I need libglu1-mesa6.5.1~20060817, but I have 6.5.1+cvs20060824 installed instead?  I'm trying to install a game which requires libsdl-dev?

[08:24] <floola> Hi, does anyone know how to create a .deb from a binary?
[08:24] <Nalleman> hdxx, just "mediaplayer"?
[08:24] <a5benwillis> Pici: THANKS!
[08:24] <Pici> a5benwillis: sure thing :)
[08:24] <hdxx> Nalleman: i will find wait
[08:24] <grndslm> morrolan:  problem is that i can't boot because there is no home dir...
[08:24] <soundray> morrolan: that may be a packaging bug -- but run 'sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get -f install', then try installing it again to be sure
[08:24] <prem> morrolan,it asked password..and the back to square one!!
[08:25] <aCeNoSweet> is a is a 50 letter password in not use number hard to crack?
[08:25] <soundray> grndslm: have you booted from a live CD?
[08:25] <morrolan> prem, did you enter your password?
[08:25] <gOLdenHaWK3D> prem: use your login password there
[08:25] <aCeNoSweet> yes pem pass word
[08:25] <morrolan> grndslam, can you not modify your grub line to boot into init 1?
[08:26] <grndslm> soundray:  i am booting from a live cd now...
[08:26] <grndslm> i will just need to use gparted and most will automagically be fixed for me?
[08:26] <gradin> how do you shutdown and forse a filesystem integrity check on rebout
[08:26] <gradin> *reboot
[08:26] <prem> awsome..my terminal crashed...
[08:26] <tretle> hey, is anyone else having any problems with feisty fawn herd 4 failing to install?
[08:26] <Senderbasic> Hi all, i need to get a hold of this dude 'by DeXT'...  anyone know where i can reach him ?
[08:26] <gradin> something like touch fsck sometheing or other...
[08:26] <arthurgeek> Hi there! I just installed Dapper Server and dist-upgraded to Edgy.. Now I'm getting SOME segfault... with locale-gen, links2 ...
[08:26] <soundray> grndslm: my worry is that your partition table has been corrupted. This means that when you try to repair something it may make it worse.
[08:27] <_eMaX_> hi all
[08:27] <_eMaX_> anyone: how can I find out what's going wrong with an apt-get install libsane-extras. He keeps telling me he's trying to overwrite /usr/share/man/man5/sane-epkowa.5.gz which is also part of the package iscan. Then I get dpkg-deb: subprocess paste with signal (broken pipe) killed.
[08:27] <arrenlex> !hi | _eMaX_
[08:27] <ubotu> _eMaX_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[08:27] <Ru-ku> Hey, I can't seem to remove an item with Alacarte, is there anyway to forcibly remove this?
[08:27] <aCeNoSweet> dose rianbow hash5 work in liunx
[08:27] <soundray> grndslm: have you got space somewhere to make a bitwise backup of your entire hdc?
[08:27] <prem> morrolan,let me log out and let see wht happens
[08:27] <Raider1> Ok, for future reference for anyone, installing ubuntu, using software RAID, while having any RAID flags enabled in the BIOS translated to bad grub installations
[08:27] <morrolan> soundray - same error
[08:27] <morrolan> prem - don't do that
[08:27] <gOLdenHaWK3D> prem: what are you doing.? just run "sudo hostname prem12" and enter your login password! simple as that!
[08:27] <_eMaX_> :)
[08:27] <grndslm> soundray:  luckily, i just used rsync for the first time ever like 2 or 3 nights ago, so i'm not too worried about more corruption, i just need to be able to mound hdc4 again
[08:27] <prem> i can't do it my terminal got crashed..i can't open it
[08:27] <gradin> lol hi Raider1
[08:28] <wolfeySI> grndslm: try 'fsck' that drive
[08:28] <morrolan> gOLdenHaW3D - what did I tell you about an uphill struggle :)
[08:28] <wolfeySI> =filesystem check
[08:28] <Raider1> gradin, :P
[08:28] <soundray> grndslm: don't fsck yet!
[08:28] <gOLdenHaWK3D> morrolan: now i understand :O
[08:28] <grndslm> wolfeySI:  i've tried, but that partition doesn't exist
[08:28] <wolfeySI> hmm
[08:28] <grndslm> /dev/hdc4 is not there
[08:28] <tretle> this is the error im getting " The ext3 file system creation in partition #3 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) failed. "
[08:28] <grndslm> everything is but my home dir
[08:28] <wolfeySI> grndslm: no idea sorry
[08:28] <wolfeySI> though mm
[08:28] <morrolan> prem -I told you not to do that...
[08:29] <wolfeySI> i'd say partition table is corrupt a bit:)
[08:29] <soundray> grndslm: let's do some no-touch diagnostics before you do any interventions.
[08:29] <mwe> gradin: tune2fs -C999 /dev/<partition>
[08:29] <Senderbasic> Wow, ubuntu attacts a big crowd these days, nice that they dont sell out and include proprietary shit for the sake of whoknowswhat, owerflows..
[08:29] <mwe> gradin: should make it check at next boot
[08:29] <gradin> mwe: why do i think thats gonna nuke my box...
[08:29] <dthorenj> i just converted to linux this week
[08:29] <dthorenj> so happy
[08:29] <dthorenj> =)
[08:29] <soundray> grndslm: what do you get from a 'sudo fdisk -l'? Paste to pastebin if you like
[08:29] <mwe> gradin: heh. it's not
[08:29] <dthorenj> could anyone help me with a screen resolution problem though?
[08:29] <dthorenj> whats GCJ?
[08:29] <mwe> gradin: it sets the mount count to 999
[08:29] <Senderbasic> Anyone know this '2000 by DeXT' ?
[08:29] <morrolan> I'm trying to install libsdl-dev, but it fails. When I trace back the error (try to install each dependancy) I get an error saying that I need libglu1-mesa6.5.1~20060817, but I have 6.5.1+cvs20060824 installed instead?  I'm trying to install a game which requires libsdl-dev?
[08:29] <_eMaX_> see http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7257/ for the dpkg-deb error.
[08:30] <mwe> gradin: thus it will be checked
[08:30] <tretle> could anyone help?
[08:30] <wolfeySI> dthorenj: poor GNU clone of ancient java version
[08:30] <Thug-N-Me> hi all
[08:30] <dthorenj> i see
[08:30] <Thug-N-Me> how can i disable disk check at boot ?
[08:30] <grndslm> soundray:  doh!  i forgot I removed the Win partition, so hdc3 actually is my home dir...lemme restart and fsck THAT partition
[08:30] <soundray> wolfeySI: ubuntu can't switch to Sun Java until the GPL license change has been completed
[08:30] <soundray> grndslm: NO
[08:30] <mwe> Thug-N-Me: don't ;) it's done for a good reason
[08:30] <dthorenj> anyone know why my screen would be curved on the sides when I have my resolution set to 1024 x 768?
[08:30] <Thug-N-Me> looks like my system failed to boot because of checking some on my second disk drive a attached to my pc ...
[08:30] <Senderbasic> wolfeySI: gcc's java implementation ?
[08:30] <dthorenj> like warped
[08:30] <grndslm> soundray:  i'm all eyes
[08:30] <Ru-ku> Hey, I can't seem to remove an item with Alacarte, is there anyway to forcibly remove this?
[08:30] <dthorenj> =(
[08:31] <wolfeySI> Senderbasic: yeah
[08:31] <soundray> grndslm: let's be careful, okay?
[08:31] <dthorenj> ?
[08:31] <_eMaX_> how can I get better error messages from dpkg? I'm stuck in the middle of a dist-upgrade
[08:31] <dthorenj> anyone?
[08:31] <gOLdenHaWK3D> Thug-N-Me: disable disk check in fstab.
[08:31] <Senderbasic> wolfeySI: Merged if ready suns javac probably will be :)
[08:31] <prem> morrolan,thanks a ton...
[08:31] <Amaranth> Ru-ku: If you enjoy editing complicated XML files.
[08:31] <grndslm> soundray:  careful is my middle name
[08:31] <Thug-N-Me> mwe i well know that ... i would like to disable it only for the next boot only ... ubuntu failed to boot with one of my other disk because of file system .. bad block or something
[08:31] <prem> it worked
[08:31] <gradin> nwe sudo tune2fs -C999 /dev/hda2
[08:31] <gradin> tune2fs 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006)
[08:31] <gradin> tune2fs: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/hda2
[08:31] <gradin> Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
[08:31] <gOLdenHaWK3D> prem: good!
[08:31] <dthorenj> anyone know why my screen would be curved on the sides when I have my resolution set to 1024 x 768?
[08:31] <soundray> grndslm: there's something strange still. The UUID should not have changed, in spite of the Win partition deletion.
[08:31] <tretle> il take that as a no
[08:32] <Ru-ku> Amaranth: Well, if it's the only way - just I can't seem to remove this item which I want removed - it physically won't let my delete it
[08:32] <mwe> Thug-N-Me: well like gOLdenHaWK3D suggested disable it in /etc/fstab from a live CD
[08:32] <soundray> grndslm: does fdisk -l output look like what you expected otherwise?
[08:32] <Amaranth> Ru-ku: what is it?
[08:32] <Thug-N-Me> gOLdenHaWK3D how will i do that ? there is no option there ... i can only set automount points in fstab
[08:32] <sparr> whats the "right" way to get my camera usable by non-root?
[08:32] <dthorenj> ???
[08:32] <prem> gOLdenHaWK3D,any resons behind this??it
[08:32] <Thug-N-Me> mwe why from a live cd ?
[08:32] <jrib> sparr: what are the permissions on the camera?
[08:32] <Ru-ku> Amaranth: I did have wine, but I've uninstalled, even deleting the ~/.wine folder - but now I have a menu item called "wine-wine"
[08:32] <dthorenj> anyone know why my screen would be curved on the sides when I have my resolution set to 1024 x 768?
[08:32] <mwe> Thug-N-Me: because if you can't boot it you can't change it otherwise
[08:32] <Amaranth> Ru-ku: oh, wine :/
[08:32] <wolfeySI> Senderbasic: well sun changed license terms for java so ubuntu could include it
[08:32] <sparr> jrib: wrong, obviously
[08:33] <Amaranth> Ru-ku: rm -rf ~/.gnome
[08:33] <gOLdenHaWK3D> prem: by some means your hostname was lost! and you just assigned a new one to it!
[08:33] <jrib> sparr: ok, but do you want to answer the question?
[08:33] <Ru-ku> Amaranth: that will get rid of it?
[08:33] <arthurgeek> Hi there! I just installed Dapper Server and dist-upgraded to Edgy.. Now I'm getting SOME segfault... with locale-gen, links2 ... how do I solve that?
[08:33] <Thug-N-Me> mwe hello ? i said that i cannot boot with my second hard attached .... with the main ubuntu disk .. work gread
[08:33] <Amaranth> Ru-ku: it won't remove any of your gnome settings, those are in ~/.gnome2, that's just where WINE puts the menu files
[08:33] <joseperagon> hola
[08:33] <sparr> jrib: want, yes.  able, no.
[08:33] <dthorenj> anyone know why my screen would be curved on the sides when I have my resolution set to 1024 x 768?
[08:33] <gradin> mwe: you get that one?
[08:33] <sparr> dthorenj: adjust your monitor
[08:33] <_eMaX_> arthurgeek: at least that's worse than what I have
[08:33] <Thug-N-Me> mwe im using it right now ... so what should i do in fstab ..
[08:33] <mwe> Thug-N-Me: huh. I said boot a live cd
[08:33] <mwe> Thug-N-Me: oh
[08:33] <alex546> @find evanescence
[08:34] <Ru-ku> Amaranth: Cheers, will try
[08:34] <arthurgeek> _eMaX_: :(
[08:34] <Senderbasic> wolfeySI: Youll see that most closed sources will go open, including drivers because all they really wanna do is sell the hardware
[08:34] <mwe> Thug-N-Me: the last digit should be 0
[08:34] <dthorenj> how do i adjust my monitor?
[08:34] <mwe> Thug-N-Me: instead of 1 or 2
[08:34] <jrib> sparr: do you know what device in /dev corresponds to the camera?
[08:34] <dthorenj> the buttons on my monitor doesnt fix the problem
[08:34] <Hasrat_Usa> amen!!!! Senderbasic :)
[08:34] <Thug-N-Me> mwe to what ? to the mount point of that hard ?
[08:34] <sparr> jrib: no
[08:34] <Senderbasic> wolfeySI: I applaud things like the noveau project though, nice going
[08:34] <sparr> jrib: and it changes every time i plug the camera in
[08:34] <dthorenj> and i have the latest nvidia driver when i installed stuff using automatix2
[08:35] <mwe> Thug-N-Me: are you reading what I say?
[08:35] <wolfeySI> Senderbasic: well for example i have no problem with ati-drivers
[08:35] <dthorenj> ????
[08:35] <wolfeySI> Senderbasic: i dont need the source, just that it works
[08:35] <YoUnG^YaKuza> help..?
[08:35] <wolfeySI> and that is free
[08:35] <jrib> sparr: how do you know it changes if you don't know what device in /dev corresponds to the camera?
[08:35] <Ru-ku> Amaranth: It's still there, though the file has gone
[08:35] <pianoboy3333> Can anyone help me build the latest alsa drivers from alsa project for hda-intel? My left audio is crackly sometimes, and maybe this is a problem fixed in the latest.
[08:35] <grndslm> soundray:  fdisk -l looks pretty normal for hdc, but hdd says doesn't contain a valid partition table
[08:35] <Amaranth> Ru-ku: hrm
[08:35] <Thug-N-Me> mwe well if you`re that smart tell me what would my sata disk drive gonna be then ? /dev/what ?
[08:35] <Amaranth> Ru-ku: do you use kde?
[08:35] <afidegnum> Hello pls Can someone direct me how should I install freenx Server, using SSH?
[08:35] <Senderbasic> Hasrat_Usa, wolfeySI: Meanwhile we just outcode ms so they let go of the stranglehold they force upon people
[08:35] <sparr> jrib: i can check dmesg each time i plug it in, or lsusb
[08:35] <Amaranth> !freenx
[08:35] <Ru-ku> Amaranth: Sorry, I'l clarify, deleted ~/.gnome, but the "wine-wine" is still there
[08:35] <ubotu> FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX
[08:35] <afidegnum> yes
[08:35] <dthorenj> anyone?
[08:36] <Amaranth> !freenx | afidegnum
[08:36] <ubotu> afidegnum: please see above
[08:36] <gOLdenHaWK3D> Thug-N-Me: sorry im not that smart enough!
[08:36] <Thug-N-Me> mwe i didnt add a mount point line for that hard in fstab ... o never had the change to
[08:36] <jrib> sparr: ok, so can you find out what is at this moment?
[08:36] <YoUnG^YaKuza> i need help...can anyone ?
[08:36] <abuyazan> hello all
[08:36] <soundray> grndslm: do you think the hdd problem is connected with your out-of-memory incident?
[08:36] <Senderbasic> wolfeySI: Youll need the source in order to maintain kernel compatibility
[08:36] <arthurgeek> aaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! how I solve those segfaults errors?
[08:36] <Amaranth> Ru-ku: Do you use KDE?
[08:36] <abuyazan> i have problem with my sound on my laptop
[08:36] <Senderbasic> wolfeySI: Or, bam!.. the driver refuses to load and x wont start etc
[08:36] <sparr> jrib: its usb device 002:007 now
[08:36] <mwe> Thug-N-Me: I don't know your setup and partitions how would I know? /dev/sd??
[08:36] <Thug-N-Me> gOLdenHaWK3D so it doesnt help then ... i can only find out after i boot with that hard attached ... but like i said it hangs while booting if i attach the sata disk
[08:37] <Ru-ku> Amaranth: No, Gnome, Ubuntu 6.06
[08:37] <Chousuke> arthurgeek: if you're not a developer, I doubt you can solve them
[08:37] <wolfeySI> Senderbasic: i've had my share of that thx
[08:37] <grndslm> soundray:  honestly, i really don't have a clue anymore...when i gdm comes up it says it can't write to my home dir, so i figured the problem would have been with hdc, but now fdisk looks like the problem is with hdd
[08:37] <grndslm> hdd is my backup, btw
[08:37] <gradin> how do you shutdown and force a filesystem integrity check on rebout
[08:37] <dthorenj> ?????????????
[08:37] <Amaranth> Ru-ku: rm -rf ~/.kde
[08:37] <arthurgeek> Chousuke: ok... reinstall my system?
[08:37] <gradin> how do you shutdown and force a filesystem integrity check on reboot
[08:37] <gradin> sorry
[08:37] <Amaranth> Ru-ku: Hopefully that'll do it
[08:37] <Senderbasic> wolfeySI: same here, when i played some games a few years ago
[08:37] <gradin> :P
[08:37] <Chousuke> arthurgeek: unless you're using the software somehow wrong. or unless your RAM is broken
[08:37] <abuyazan> i run the file but i cannot hear any sound
[08:37] <soundray> gradin: 'sudo touch /forcefsck ; sudo reboot'
[08:37] <abuyazan> how can i check where is the problem ? i need help
[08:37] <arthurgeek> Chousuke: I tried running those programs with strace and get nothing useful
[08:37] <gradin> soundray: thanks
[08:38] <Senderbasic> wolfeySI: I refuse to install any proprietary shit, those things are just evil
[08:38] <Chousuke> arthurgeek: what programs?
[08:38] <Ru-ku> Amaranth: Unfortunately not
[08:38] <ernst> hello
[08:38] <ernst> can someone help me with keyboard settings?
[08:38] <lesshaste> I have tried to install using the minimal install image but it doesn't seem to give me the option to set up wireless networking
[08:38] <jrib> sparr: what is the output of this command:  'groups'
[08:38] <Amaranth> Ru-ku: no idea then
[08:38] <lesshaste> do any of the ubuntu install images do that?
[08:38] <gradin> brb
[08:38] <wolfeySI> Senderbasic: skype? realplayer?
[08:38] <wolfeySI> :)
[08:38] <arthurgeek> Chousuke: my RAM is ok... this server was working for 238 days sinc this morning when I needed to reinstall it... and 238 days ago I just rebooted it for more RAM...
[08:38] <sparr> jrib: sparr adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev lpadmin scanner admin
[08:38] <wolfeySI> Senderbasic: unreal tournament 2004 ?
[08:38] <wolfeySI> :)
[08:38] <soundray> grndslm: I'm worried again now
[08:38] <mwe> gradin: you're still afraid sudo tune2fs -C99 /dev/???? would nuke it? ;)
[08:38] <wolfeySI> Senderbasic: i cant live without them
[08:38] <gOLdenHaWK3D> Thug-N-Me: better boot using a Live Disc! Check your second SATA to check it for any errors, and then start your linux again
[08:38] <Chousuke> arthurgeek: okay
[08:38] <Ru-ku> Amaranth: For now I can hide it, but really I'd want it removed. Also been trying to re-install wine, and re-remove, and nothing
[08:38] <arthurgeek> Chousuke: locale-gen, links2 ... until now.. just those ones
[08:38] <Thug-N-Me> mwe well it should be sda1 because it the only sata drive .. so a1 will be first
[08:39] <Chousuke> hmmh :/
[08:39] <abuyazan> where can i check why when i play a sound file i cannot hear any sound
[08:39] <abuyazan> it happened suddenly
[08:39] <lesshaste> wolfeySI: I got the usb drive to book but there was no "configure wireless" option
[08:39] <tehxed> hello
[08:39] <ernst> how do I set my keyboard to act like "US International" under Windows XP?
[08:39] <grndslm> soundray: after typing mount -a...it appears that the problematic UID is the hdd which is my backup drive
[08:39] <tehxed> this is probably a common question
[08:39] <Amaranth> Ru-ku: just leave it hidden, good enough :)
[08:39] <Chousuke> arthurgeek: hard to say
[08:39] <mwe> Thug-N-Me: if there's no entry in fstab it's not checked
[08:39] <Senderbasic> wolfeySI: I tested the oss version of realplayer, helix player... evil thing doesnt play by default so still proprietary
[08:39] <Thug-N-Me> gOLdenHaWK3D well i think if it failed to boot ubuntu with the "bad" sata disk attached i think it will failed while checking the disk with live cd too
[08:39] <grndslm> soundray:  this still doesn't explain why gdm would give the error about not being able to write to the home dir
[08:39] <mwe> Thug-N-Me: I doubt it's because of fsck
[08:40] <Thug-N-Me> mwe there was nop entry ... no
[08:40] <tehxed> when i try to go into admin mode in the CLI, it says authentication failed?
[08:40] <arthurgeek> Chousuke: :(
[08:40] <smultron> anyone good with wireless drivers?
[08:40] <tehxed> Can anyone else?
[08:40] <Thug-N-Me> mwe what can it be then ?
[08:40] <mwe> Thug-N-Me: then fsck is not the problem
[08:40] <tehxed> can anyone help?
[08:40] <SamePaul> hello there.
[08:40] <SamePaul> 2 problems. 1) I need to connect to Inet, but my wireless NIC is not installed. It is Intel 2200BG. 2) i tried sudo but I dno't know what is root password - install didn't asked for it :(
[08:40] <gradin> he he, gotta love shell acounts
[08:40] <arthurgeek> Chousuke: I installed Dapper for now and then dist-upgraded to edgy... then those errors started...
[08:40] <tehxed> Chousuke, you and me are in the same situation.. no idea what's wrong with my wireless
[08:40] <Thug-N-Me> mwe like i said soon i attach that sata disk system fails to boot
[08:40] <soundray> grndslm: okay, there is a tool called gpart (note not gparted) for recovering partition tables. I don't think it's on the live CD, but you can apt-get it within the live system.
[08:40] <Ru-ku> Amaranth: The problem being in the meantime, re-installing wine, it doesn't work
[08:40] <dyrne> tehxed: instead of su do sudo -i or sudo -s.  theres info on  sudo at wiki.ubuntu.com
[08:40] <YoUnG^YaKuza> help
[08:40] <Senderbasic> wolfeySI: Netgear will provide oss in_kernel drivers or specs (or they didnt listen, cant tell:)
[08:41] <Thug-N-Me> mwe starts saying stuff about blocks and superblocks ..... :)
[08:41] <Senderbasic> madwifi thing
[08:41] <_eMaX_> all: what does dpkg --configure -a do?
[08:41] <soundray> grndslm: I suggest you install that and see if it guesses a plausible partition table.
[08:41] <gOLdenHaWK3D> Thug-N-Me: Try booting with LiveCD! It might help! After it boots up, check your 2nd disc for errors first!
[08:41] <soundray> grndslm: on hdd
[08:41] <smultron> anyone know how to override the default wifi drivers with ndiswrapper? it's still using the slow defaults :/
[08:41] <wolfeySI> Senderbasic: skype?
[08:41] <wolfeySI> Senderbasic: uneral tournament ?
[08:41] <wolfeySI> :)
[08:41] <mwe> smultron: blacklist it
[08:41] <smultron> i tried
[08:41] <jrib> sparr: this is a camera that just gets mounted as another drive where you copy files to right?  not a webcam?
[08:41] <Thug-N-Me> gOLdenHaWK3D how will i check that sata disk after booting with the live cd ?
[08:41] <mwe> smultron: but it still loads?
[08:42] <smultron> mwe yeah
[08:42] <mwe> smultron: did you do it right?
[08:42] <gOLdenHaWK3D> Thug-N-Me: which filesystem do you have on your 2nd disc? SATA one?
[08:42] <SamePaul> somebody?
[08:42] <sparr> jrib: its a PTP device.  its not mounted exactly like a drive, but from the GUI it looks the same
[08:42] <smultron> mwe: well, i edited the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file...
[08:42] <Thug-N-Me> gOLdenHaWK3D ext3
[08:42] <Senderbasic> wolfeySI: I have tried it on windows, wouldnt use it on my dev oss boxes yet though. Needs security audits also perhaps
[08:42] <mwe> smultron: and put in blacklist <modulename>?
[08:42] <grndslm> soundray:  will try
[08:42] <jrib> sparr: easiest way is probably to write a udev rule
[08:42] <wolfeySI> i cant live without skype
[08:43] <Assid> why?
[08:43] <Assid> i stopped using that crap
[08:43] <gOLdenHaWK3D> Thug-N-Me: use badblocks to check for bad sectors, then use e2fsck
[08:43] <sparr> jrib: id prefer a more long term solution for other cameras
[08:43] <smultron> mwe: yeah, "blacklist acx" and "blacklist acx_pci"
[08:43] <Assid> kills my windows box
[08:43] <Assid> ever since they came up with that new version
[08:43] <Senderbasic> wolfeySI: Best of the voip things out there maybe, ekiga needs some 'C'-only love
[08:43] <SamePaul> mm.... HELP! :)
[08:43] <Senderbasic> maybe c++
[08:43] <Assid> wolfeySI:  you make your calls from pc?
[08:43] <Thug-N-Me> gOLdenHaWK3D hehe last time i used " e2fsck " i lost all my 160 GB stuff i had on it ... so no more e2fsck please :)
[08:43] <ardchoille> Assid: Sounds like you stopped using the wrong crap
[08:43] <Assid> look into any sip provider
[08:43] <wolfeySI> Assid: we talk while we work remotely:)
[08:44] <mwe> smultron: hmm. if that's the name you might have run into one of those modulels for which blacklisting is broken. I'd check /etc/modules and as a last resort rename the module
[08:44] <gradin> gradin goes for a smoke and hopes that at home the file integrity check goes ok...
[08:44] <gOLdenHaWK3D> Thug-N-Me: that time maybe your partitions might be corrupt!
[08:44] <Assid> wolfeySI: i am in india.. i work with my clients and cousins in the US
[08:44] <fiXXXerMet> Having trouble with a web app here.  It has to work with files outside of the webroot - files in /var/dspam/ and /usr/local/etc/dspam.conf.  All files are owned by dspam.dspam, and my virtual host is suexec dspam dspam.  Should this work, or does apache not let the webapp out of the document root?
[08:44] <gOLdenHaWK3D> Thug-N-Me: and there is a switch which just reports the errors found, and does NOT fixes them. Use that
[08:44] <soundray> SamePaul: don't do this -- ask one question at a time and repeat after no less than 20 minutes if you don't get a reply
[08:44] <Thug-N-Me> gOLdenHaWK3D i re-formated since that time
[08:44] <jrib> sparr: how would you detect if something is a camera and not, say, a memory stick?
[08:44] <Assid> if you dont mind putting up an asterisk box.. your golden
[08:44] <gOLdenHaWK3D> Thug-N-Me: and there is a switch which just reports the errors found, and does NOT fixes them. Use that
[08:44] <Amon-san> sorry if you're not interested http://www.shutdownday.org/
[08:44] <smultron> mwe: 'acx' doesn't show up in the modules file
[08:45] <smultron> mwe: but i put ndiswrapper in there...
[08:45] <sparr> jrib: they use different drivers?
[08:45] <Senderbasic> wolfeySI: like strafeing in UT or similar but you shout "Code that c/c++!! Nortwest hill!!!" :)
[08:45] <SamePaul> soundray: ok.
[08:45] <Thug-N-Me> gOLdenHaWK3D should i look for that switch on my wand ? :)
[08:45] <jrib> sparr: so put that in the udev rule
[08:45] <gOLdenHaWK3D> Thug-N-Me: if you can! try it!
[08:45] <dthorenj> anyone know why my screen would be curved on the sides when I have my resolution set to 1024 x 768?
[08:45] <sparr> jrib: or, to be more blunt-object about it...  how would i just give my user root-like permission over any usb device?
[08:45] <mwe> smultron: you may have to rename the module then
[08:45] <dthorenj> the buttons on my monitor doesnt fix the problem
[08:45] <dthorenj> and i have the latest nvidia driver when i installed stuff using automatix2
[08:45] <sparr> dthorenj: because your monitor is broken
[08:45] <soundray> SamePaul: btw, sudo works with your user password. There is no root password in a default ubuntu install.
[08:45] <dthorenj> what?
[08:45] <smultron> mwe: rename it so the kernel can't find it?
[08:46] <dthorenj> i change the resolution back to 800 x 600 and it shows up fine
[08:46] <mwe> smultron: yeah I had to do that with pcspkr
[08:46] <mwe> smultron: it can't be blacklisted
[08:46] <sparr> dthorenj: then use 800x600
[08:46] <Thug-N-Me> gOLdenHaWK3D i between 4 wands and there is no switch i can see ... any suggestions ?
[08:46] <smultron> mwe: that doesn't give errors?
[08:46] <Thug-N-Me> :)
[08:46] <dthorenj> 800 x 600 is too small
[08:46] <mwe> smultron: no
[08:46] <Senderbasic> Ill have to install ubuntu on some of these machines to see if it rocks any
[08:46] <dthorenj> i can use 1024 x 768 in windows xp
[08:46] <Thug-N-Me> gOLdenHaWK3D thanks for your help
[08:46] <grndslm> soundray:  there is no gpart
[08:46] <sparr> dthorenj: then buy a working monitor
[08:46] <gOLdenHaWK3D> Thug-N-Me: wait... :)
[08:46] <dthorenj> so i know its not my monitor
[08:46] <Thug-N-Me> mwe thanks also ...
[08:46] <gOLdenHaWK3D> Thug-N-Me: ok
[08:46] <jrib> sparr: I would write a udev rule to do that, it seems like it would be possible even though I haven't done such a thing: http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html
[08:46] <sparr> dthorenj: well, youre wrong.  have you considered changing the refresh rate?
[08:46] <SamePaul> soundray: aha... Thanks!
[08:47] <smultron> mwe: so i do '$locate acx' and change all the directory names?
[08:47] <mwe> smultron: if it against all odds should cause problems rename it back
[08:47] <sparr> jrib: so youre saying theres no "for human beings" solution?
[08:47] <SamePaul> How to install wireless NIC?
[08:47] <Assid> wolfeySI:  i installed kvirc .. but its not there in the menu.. where is the run ? so i dont have to start from a console directly ?
[08:47] <mwe> smultron: no no
[08:47] <soundray> grndslm: you have to enable the universe repository by editing /etc/apt/sources.list and running sudo apt-get update
[08:47] <dthorenj> sparr: it wont let me change the refresh rate
[08:47] <mwe> smultron: find /lib/modules/$(uname -r)|grep acx
[08:47] <sparr> dthorenj: "it"?
[08:47] <dthorenj> it only shows 60 in linux
[08:47] <soundray> grndslm: after that you can 'sudo apt-get install gpart'
[08:47] <dthorenj> when i go to the screen resolution window
[08:47] <sparr> your X is misconfigured then
[08:47] <grndslm> soundray:  was just in the process
[08:47] <mwe> smultron: rename acx.ko and acx_pci.ko
[08:48] <kane77> anybody has been using vmware under ubuntu? I want to know how can I share stuff between ubuntu and virtual machine?
[08:48] <dthorenj> i know changing the refresh rate worked in windows when i had this problem years ago
[08:48] <smultron> mwe: ok, i'll give it a try now
[08:48] <sparr> kane77: what stuff?
[08:48] <soundray> smultron: can I pm you with a question about your nick?
[08:48] <dthorenj> sparr: how would i go about changing the resolution somewhere else?
[08:48] <jrib> sparr: human beings write udev rules too.  This is the only solution I know.  I don't know why your camera doesn't "just work".  Mine mounts and lets me access it.  Actually, let me plug mine in now and check how the permissions get setup
[08:48] <kane77> sparr, data...
[08:48] <sparr> dthorenj: edit your X config, and im dont helping.
[08:48] <smultron> soundray, i dunno
[08:48] <dthorenj> how do i do that?
[08:48] <sparr> jrib: im guessing yours is on the default list of ~300 cameras in the udev rules by default
[08:49] <soundray> smultron: it's not too important
[08:49] <MarkC> hi, how do i register my nick?
[08:49] <jrib> sparr: maybe.  If that is the case, then submit a bug for yours
[08:49] <MarkC> nickserv doesnt seem to help.

[08:50] <kane77> sparr, I'm setting a virtual machine for my sister and she has a rather longish list of mp3's she wants to listen... I found a option to share a folder (inside of vmware, but I cant figure out how it works...)
[08:50] <ID_EGO_> i have a simple question
[08:50] <kane77> ID_EGO_, ask
[08:50] <ID_EGO_> how do i change the server time via the terminal
[08:50] <Marupa> rhythmbox can't read my MP3s...what do I do?
[08:50] <grndslm> soundray:  i'm not scanning, just printing the partition table??
[08:50] <Pici> !mp3 | Marupa
[08:50] <mwe> ID_EGO_: date
[08:50] <ubotu> Marupa: 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

[08:51] <minaz> question about running wine on ubuntu: this is what i get when i try runnning it: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7260/
[08:51] <ID_EGO_> i dont know the full command
[08:51] <Marupa> Amarok can read them, just not rhythmbox.
[08:51] <eMaX> re
[08:51] <ID_EGO_> im a n00b
[08:51] <sparr> kane77: vmware provides a fake network connection between the real pc and the virtual pc.  any normal sharing software will work over that.  ftp, smb, itunes, nfs
[08:51] <soundray> ID_EGO_: it updates itself by default when your internet interface comes up
[08:51] <jrib> sparr: yeah mine gets mounted with the current user as the owner
[08:51] <eMaX> what does dpkg --configure -a do?
[08:51] <mwe> ID_EGO_: the date command. date -s hhmmss IIRC
[08:51] <mwe> sudo date -s
[08:51] <smultron> mwe: output this: /lib/modules/2.6.17-11-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/acx & /lib/modules/2.6.17-11-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/acx/acx.ko
[08:51] <soundray> grndslm: it's been five years since I used gpart -- it has probably changed since then.
[08:51] <kane77> sparr, I've never used samba.. but well I'm on it...
[08:52] <mwe> smultron: yeah rename the acx.ko file
[08:52] <ID_EGO_> thank you all!
[08:52] <Senderbasic> What do you peaople think about the Novell thing ? .. Im not sure because i think they where once great, then they sucked then they got into linux via suse and did alot of good things such as xorg and beryl/compiz-compositing, then they sucked ass for somewhere near joining ms... give me your input plz..
[08:52] <tehxed> Anyone have any idea how I can get the BCM4318 Airforce card to work with Ubuntu Edgy?
[08:52] <soundray> grndslm: I think you want to scan for a partition table. You can then write it if it appears plausible
[08:52] <smultron> mwe: ok
[08:52] <redbox> ID_EGO_: you should check out ntpdate and sync your clock to a time server
[08:52] <mwe> smultron: I guess there is no acx_pci.ko
[08:52] <smultron> mwe: guess not
[08:52] <tehxed> How do things get done in this channel?
[08:53] <Senderbasic> peaople/people ^ lol
[08:53] <ID_EGO_> thx
[08:53] <grndslm> soundray:  you were telling me not to fsck, so i figured scanning might be bad...
[08:53] <grndslm> soundray:  i can print without scanning
[08:53] <mwe> smultron: It's a known bug that some modules are ignored by the blacklisting system
[08:53] <redbox> Senderbasic: I think MS has other intentions and Novell is going to get screwed by MS for the second time
[08:53] <Senderbasic> tehxed: get done ?
[08:53] <soundray> tehxed: you've done the right thing. Now wait patiently. If someone who knows the answer is available, they will respond
[08:53] <prem> gOLdenHWK3D,whenever i restart hostname gets lost
[08:53] <smultron> mwe: oh, i didn't know that
[08:53] <StoneNote> tehxed, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=285809
[08:53] <tehxed> Senderbasic, what do you mean get done?
[08:54] <ID_EGO_> well i have to go
[08:54] <eMaX> ok here is a more detailed question. in the midst of a dist-upgrade, I got an error configuring libsane-dev. the dist-upgrade stopped. now I read somewhere that using dpkg --configure -a and then dpkg --r libsane-dev I'd be able to remove libsane-dev. I'm running dpkg --configure -a now and it seems to configure about every package that was downloaded so far. I wonder whether afterwards I'll just be able to start over with the dist-upgrade or
[08:54] <eMaX> whether the system is fucked up already at that point.
[08:54] <mwe> prem: even if you set it in /etc/hosts?
[08:54] <Senderbasic> redbox: yes, my guess too..
[08:54] <soundray> grndslm: if you choose print without scanning, it'll show the current one, which we have to assume is corrupted.
[08:54] <tehxed> StoneNote, is this for Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy?
[08:54] <SamePaul> How to install wireless NIC (Intel 2200BG)? Maybe it is written somewhere and I'm just too blind? :)
[08:54] <smultron> mwe: ok i renamed it "xca.ko"
[08:54] <prem> mwe,how?
[08:54] <soundray> grndslm: considering that fdisk -l shows no partitions on hdd (that's correct isn't it?)
[08:55] <smultron> mwe: i guess i restart now?
[08:55] <Senderbasic> redbox: Its a shame though because Novell really made a good os once and now they embarrassed the suse crowds
[08:55] <redbox> Senderbasic: besids, since when did MS do something that wasn't in their advantage [money wise] ? ;p
[08:55] <StoneNote> tehxed, the forum posting topic is: Edgy Broadcom bcm4318 HOWTO!
[08:55] <lasse_> Hi. I've supported lots of guys in here, but I've never asked anyone for any help. This time I really need help, so if you can, please help me! I broke my X after an update. The error says: "Failed to load module "wfb" The Module does not exist. API mismatch:The Nvidia kernel module has the version 1.0-8776, but this X module has the version 1.0-9746. Please help me this one time only!
[08:55] <tehxed> soundray, thanks
[08:55] <Senderbasic> redbox: yes, thatll never happen :)
[08:55] <mwe> smultron: better not give it a .ko extension. I think it will work, though
[08:55] <grndslm> soundray:   yup, it says "Warning:  strange partition table magic"
[08:55] <grndslm> magic, heh!
[08:55] <grndslm> this is silly
[08:55] <sparr> lasse_: sorry, i got tired of reading two sentences in.  try without that first bit.  and the last bit.
[08:55] <smultron> mwe: ok, i'll give this a shot first. brb
[08:55] <mwe> smultron: I'd rename it to acx.ko.backup or something
[08:56] <smultron> mwe: ok
[08:56] <soundray> grndslm: no, it's just a word for something that could be called something else
[08:56] <tehxed> StoneNote, aww poop sorry, but..it works for 6.1 as well?
[08:56] <redbox> lasse_: try updating your nvidia drivers
[08:56] <soundray> grndslm: the same as any other technical term
[08:56] <lasse_> sparr: I broke my X after an update. The error says: "Failed to load module "wfb" The Module does not exist. API mismatch:The Nvidia kernel module has the version 1.0-8776, but this X module has the version 1.0-9746.
[08:56] <lasse_> sparr: :P
[08:56] <tehxed> StoneNote, wait a minute
[08:56] <sparr> much better
[08:56] <soundray> grndslm: see 'man file' for a related use of the term "magic"
[08:57] <tehxed> StoneNote, I've been through this already
[08:57] <bauer77> Is there good program in Linux to do flowcharts??
[08:57] <Senderbasic> redbox: What proprietary hardware makers are left now besides nvidia/ati provided that netgear will oss everything and maybe even help some
[08:57] <lasse_> redbox: it says its updated. I've installed the beta drivers...
[08:57] <sparr> laslox11: you have to shut down X, reload the nvidia kernel driver, reload X
[08:57] <soundray> bauer77: hardcore or comfortable?
[08:57] <sparr> laslox11: or, just reboot.
[08:57] <grndslm> soundray:  gotchya....anyway, i'm beginning the scan and just want you to know that UUIDs in fstab is a pretty bad idea so far
[08:57] <prem> mwe:any help
[08:57] <soundray> bauer77: xfig is hardcore, dia and oodraw are comfortable.
[08:57] <sparr> lasse_: the problem is you have all the software for the new drivers, but the old driver is still loaded into the kernel
[08:57] <bauer77> soundray:  basic stuff really , bascially just a technical flowchart.
[08:58] <mwe> prem: paste.ubuntu-nl.org /etc/hosts and paste the URL here
[08:58] <lasse_> sparr: so if i modprobe -r somemodule  it should work?
[08:58] <bauer77> soundray: thank
[08:58] <mwe> prem: tell me the hostname you want
[08:58] <Senderbasic> redbox: Is SIS still a problem ?
[08:58] <sparr> lasse_: yes, except you cant remove it until X is gone

[08:58] <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. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[08:58] <lasse_> sparr: sudo killall gdm  does the trick?

[08:59] <mwe> prem: paste.ubuntu-nl.org /etc/hosts and paste the URL here
[08:59] <lasse_> sparr: I'll go for that. dont we have to insert a new module then?
[08:59] <sparr> lasse_: yes
[08:59] <sparr> lasse_: exact same name  :)
[08:59] <lasse_> sparr: so how do i get the right one? :S
[08:59] <tehxed> Man.. xchat is not easy to read
[08:59] <mwe> prem: go to paste.ubuntu-nl.org and paste the contents of /etc/hosts, please. then paste the URL to your paste here
[08:59] <Senderbasic> redboxxen ?
[09:00] <sparr> lasse_: its nvidia
[09:00] <prem> how to het the contents>
[09:00] <mwe> tehxed: it's not? change the fonts then
[09:00] <Senderbasic> tehxed: they removed external ping, i want it back!
[09:00] <dthorenj> how come sometimes when i run a program, it disappears and doesnt show up in toolbar, in another workspace, or when i use alt+tab
[09:00] <dthorenj> ?
[09:00] <lasse_> sparr: I'll try. I have to say one thing though: thx, a thousand times, for helping me out.
[09:01] <tehxed> mwe, what's with this red line that shows up randomly?
[09:01] <prem> mwe:how to get the contents of /etc/hosts
[09:01] <Senderbasic> tehxed: Someone _not_ talking to bots ?
[09:01] <soundray> grndslm: I disagree. Your problem wouldn't be any less serious or confusing if we hadn't switched to UUIDs
[09:01] <mwe> tehxed: it's a mark where you were last time the window was focused
[09:01] <Pici> prem: cat /etc/hosts
[09:01] <smultron> mwe: worked! [dmesg | grep acx]  showed no results :) thank you much. internet is much faster now :)
[09:01] <tehxed> I ..see
[09:01] <tehxed> Senderbasic, I don't know what that means..
[09:01] <Senderbasic> RollTehDices
[09:01] <tehxed> oh i see..
[09:01] <mwe> smultron: good ;)
[09:02] <tehxed> that makes it a bit easier to figure out where people have been responding to me.
[09:02] <mwe> smultron: well you'll have to repeat at a kernel update
[09:02] <dthorenj> how come sometimes when i run a program, it disappears and doesnt show up in toolbar, in another workspace, or when i use alt+tab
[09:02] <tehxed> I've been searching like a crazy man
[09:02] <grndslm> soundray:  i don't get it, what is it that changed if not the UUID?
[09:02] <smultron> mwe: thanks. i'll try to remember
[09:02] <mwe> smultron: there is a way to disable a module for good but I forgot how
[09:02] <soundray> grndslm: the partition table
[09:02] <Senderbasic> tehxed: Crazy Crazy love by Dr feelgood ? :P
[09:02] <tehxed> wait
[09:02] <smultron> mwe: recompile the kernel? :P
[09:02] <soundray> grndslm: or table*s* as the case may be
[09:02] <tehxed> Senderbasic, I'm lost
[09:03] <mwe> smultron: I was thinking of an easier solution ;)
[09:03] <lasse_> sparr: It didnt do anything as far as i can see. Still get the same error after (killall gdm) (modprobe -r nvidia) (modprobe nvidia) (gdm). with sudo's of course
[09:03] <tehxed> How do I get this ..random joining and leaving to not show up
[09:03] <grndslm> soundray:  and how is the table just lost?
[09:03] <Senderbasic> OMGTEHLost! .. really nice series
[09:03] <prem> mwe:http://paste.biz/paste-701.html
[09:03] <sparr> lasse_: :(
[09:03] <tehxed> it makes it extremely hard for me to keep track of what people are actually saying
[09:03] <dthorenj> how come sometimes when i run a program, it disappears and doesnt show up in toolbar, in another workspace, or when i use alt+tab
[09:03] <sparr> lasse_: at that point i would try a reboot
[09:03] <soundray> grndslm: I don't know
[09:03] <mwe> smultron: a hack would be to add an init.d script that renames it if it exists. ugly, though.
[09:03] <Xanatus> anybody wanna help me with a wireless issue ?
[09:03] <soundray> grndslm: that would be very hard to find out in retrospect
[09:04] <smultron> mwe: think this bug is already reported? or should i look into submitting it?
[09:04] <soundray> Xanatus: not unless you say what the issue is
[09:04] <sharms> dthorenj: It won't do that if you are running standard ubuntu dapper or edgy
[09:04] <lesshaste> I would like to do a network install over wireless.  I tried booting off the minimal ubuntu iso with no luck. anyone know what to do?
[09:04] <prem> mwe:http://paste.biz/paste-701.html
[09:04] <Senderbasic> tehxed: the
[09:04] <lasse_> sparr: :P hmmm. But it says i have different versions installed. Can i downgrade the higher version to match the lower version?
[09:04] <Xanatus> heh... every time i restart the computer i gotta do
[09:04] <mwe> smultron: if you're sure you did the blacklisting right see if it's reported and if not do it
[09:04] <mwe> prem: hold on
[09:04] <grndslm> soundray:  so why aren't there 2 partition tables for situations like this? seems like it'd be too easy
[09:04] <tehxed> Senderbasic, why did you say the?!
[09:04] <Senderbasic> hehe
[09:04] <tehxed> WHY!???
[09:04] <tehxed> Now I'm lost again!
[09:05] <sparr> lasse_: i dont think you have diff versions installed, i think the old one is just still in use somewhere
[09:05] <Xanatus> # ifconfig eth1 up; iwconfig eth1 channel 6; dhclient eth1
[09:05] <Xanatus> or else i can't connect to the internet
[09:05] <smultron> mwe: will do
[09:05] <nickspoon> Is there a fairly easy way to redefine my swap space in fstab?
[09:05] <dheyo> hi ubuntu wont detect my usb hard???what do i do, what do i do
[09:05] <mwe> prem: it's empty !
[09:05] <tehxed> now a line just showed up randomly
[09:05] <tehxed> and my name was no where near by
[09:05] <lasse_> sparr: ok. so i modprobe -r nvidia,  reboot and then try?
[09:05] <Senderbasic> tehxed, I liked all the fun that accompanied the the, &hehe<-** :)
[09:05] <sparr> lasse_: and pray
[09:05] <tehxed> Senderbasic, that's mean man =(
[09:05] <prem> mwe:thats what am gettin!!
[09:05] <Pici> tehxed: Theres something in the xchat options to turn that off
[09:05] <lasse_> sparr: will do that
[09:05] <Junkfer> hi, some1 from hungary?
[09:05] <Xanatus> so... anybody wanna help me with that ?
[09:05] <lasse_> sparr: see you in a flash
[09:05] <tehxed> Senderbasic, i'm actually running into more and more trouble after an update
[09:06] <grndslm> tehxed:  you have to use a different irc client besides xchat to disable the random joining & signing off
[09:06] <soundray> grndslm: that was a recipe for disaster in the FAT filesystem already. What do you do when the two partition tables/file allocation tables disagree? Which one do you trust?
[09:06] <grndslm> Pici:  where is that option:
[09:06] <grndslm> ??
[09:06] <tehxed> tehxed, i came here to get help man =(
[09:06] <Senderbasic> tehxed, in order to become.. you have to realize

[09:06] <tehxed> grndslm, can you suggest one?

[09:06] <grndslm> soundray:  so it was too easy
[09:06] <Pici> Byan: charmap?
[09:06] <Senderbasic> tehxed: troubles?
[09:06] <mwe> prem: http://paste.biz/paste-702.html
[09:06] <tehxed> Senderbasic, yeah man
[09:06] <dheyo> ubuntu wont detect my usb hard???what do i do, what do i do
[09:06] <Xanatus> should i take it as a no ?
[09:06] <tehxed> Senderbasic, my sound ..works on and off
[09:06] <Senderbasic> tehxed: okies, shoot
[09:07] <mwe> prem: should work
[09:07] <soundray> grndslm: having said that, you make a very good point: whenever I do a full backup, I save the fdisk -l output as well... if I remember ;)
[09:07] <tehxed> Senderbasic, my wireless isn't working
[09:07] <Xanatus> what's wrong with your wireless tehxed ?

[09:07] <mwe> prem: at least for ipv4. don't know if you use ipv6. I don't
[09:07] <lesshaste> should I post this question to a forum?

[09:08] <Senderbasic> tehxed: apt-get update && apt-get install madwifi or kmod-madwifi ?
[09:08] <Xanatus> hmmm
[09:08] <mwe> prem: got it?
[09:08] <Pici> grndslm: I'm pretty sure its there...
[09:08] <pirving> does ununtu take forever installing by extracting all those packages d/l off the net installing?
[09:08] <Xanatus> i dunno about that card
[09:08] <prem> mwe:where should i add these?
[09:08] <tehxed> Senderbasic, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=190177 I went through this. This was suggested
[09:08] <pirving> or have they streamlined that?
[09:08] <Xanatus> i only know more about ipw cards
[09:08] <tehxed> Senderbasic, but i'l try what you just said
[09:08] <Senderbasic> tehxed: otherwise it can be a prism driver
[09:08] <mwe> prem: in /etc/hosts
[09:08] <Pici> grndslm: I'd check now if I wasnt on windows
[09:08] <dheyo> Xanatus: hi, i cant get my usb hard disk to be recognized by ubuntu dapper
[09:09] <tehxed> no no
[09:09] <lasse_> sparr: dang. didnt work
[09:09] <tehxed> i checked to see which it was
[09:09] <pirving> in other words, does the installer take forever like it used to?
[09:09] <mwe> prem: sudo nano /etc/hosts or gksudo gedit /etc/hosts
[09:09] <tehxed> Senderbasic, i don't know what that means though
[09:09] <pirving> it used to download each system package and install it
[09:09] <g333k_work> !atari
[09:09] <Xanatus> dheyo , sorry i'm new to linux too... dunno much about hardrives
[09:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about atari - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:09] <pirving> and you had to wait
[09:09] <Senderbasic> tehxed: have you A dixlexxiaz ?`
[09:09] <dheyo> okay
[09:10] <Gartral> !root
[09:10] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:10] <Senderbasic> tehxed: :)
[09:10] <enTity> anyone know how to use udev to recreate /dev/null?  (I think i accidentally messed the device up :P )
[09:10] <prem> mwe:should i delete whatever is there?
[09:10] <Xanatus> try putting something inside the hardrive
[09:10] <Xanatus> in windows or something
[09:10] <Xanatus> or someone else's computer
[09:10] <tehxed> Senderbasic, I'm not dislexic. This text is just tiny.
[09:10] <Xanatus> is the HD empty ?
[09:10] <Xanatus> if not
[09:10] <Xanatus> then try googling
[09:10] <tehxed> Senderbasic, E: Couldn't find package madwifi
[09:10] <dthorenj> sharms: i'm running standard ubuntu edgy
[09:10] <Senderbasic> tehxed: tehproblem you stick into the googliemonster and a solution it may find, no ?
[09:10] <Pici> enTity: Theres a makedev script somewhere, let me see if I can find the location for you
[09:11] <Xanatus> [HD model and manufacturer]  [ubuntu] 
[09:11] <dheyo> is there anyone who can help me out??
[09:11] <Pejo_> I have a epson stylus photo 750; anyone know how to get utility for improving print quality??
[09:11] <grndslm> soundray:  ok, what if you save 3 of each the partition tables and mbrs and any other necessities like those, 1part table & 1mbr at the beginning of the drive, anotherPart table & anotherMBR in the middle of the drive, and again another sector at the end...and it uses 2 outta 3!!  that ain't bad!
[09:11] <tehxed> Senderbasic, the solution it found did not solve my problem
[09:11] <Xanatus> and see if anyone has written a tutorial for it
[09:11] <sharms> dthorenj: any mods, like beryl etc
[09:11] <tehxed> Senderbasic, and the same solution kept coming up in google
[09:11] <sparr> jrib: whats the actual path to the device file?
[09:11] <Senderbasic> tehxed: What was the solution ?
[09:11] <Senderbasic> it came up with ?
[09:11] <tehxed> Senderbasic, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=190177
[09:11] <dthorenj> sharms: no
[09:11] <Junkfer> anyone who can help in scs boot device?
[09:11] <mwe> prem: yeah or add it at the end. nothing is there but comments
[09:12] <dthorenj> sharms: i used automatix2 for some video/audio drivers and installed a view applications using that and the add/remove application window
[09:12] <dthorenj> but nothing besides that
[09:12] <prem> mwe:added it
[09:12] <Xanatus> Dh3Yo try googling [HD manufacturer and model]  [ubuntu]  and see if anybody has written a tutorial
[09:12] <tehxed> Senderbasic, You think going through that again help at all?
[09:12] <Pici> enTity: Hm, thats not tha name of it.  I know something exists to recreate missing /devs
[09:12] <sharms> dthorenj: there is your problem, we don't recommend or really support that
[09:12] <sharms> !automatix
[09:12] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[09:12] <grndslm> soundray:  that way, if one were lost, and the other 2 did turn out to be the proper part tables and such, then it would copy it to the corrupt sector(s)
[09:12] <Senderbasic> tehxed: bcm is prism right ?
[09:13] <enTity> yeah... i tried "MAKEDEV /dev/null", but got an error i think
[09:13] <tehxed> Senderbasic, I don't know what you mean by that?
[09:13] <mcdonaldswes> I created a chroot via debootstrap and I'm having locale problems inside of it
[09:13] <mcdonaldswes> getting stuff like: perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
[09:13] <prem> mwe:whts next>?
[09:13] <Senderbasic> tehxed: The basics is you need to load the driver then have a program that handles it
[09:13] <Xanatus> tehxed he means what technology your card is based on
[09:13] <Xanatus> it should say somewhere
[09:13] <enTity> error was: udev active, devices will be created in /dev/.static/dev/
[09:13] <mcdonaldswes> how do I fix my locale info?
[09:13] <enTity> ./MAKEDEV: don't know how to make device "/dev/null"
[09:13] <dthorenj> yeah the problem is, that when i tried installed mp3/wmv/etc drivers earlier
[09:13] <AMD-> hi is it possible to a controller arrow keys to act as the keybaords arrow keys up, down,right,left
[09:13] <mwe> nothing. type hostname to see the new host name
[09:13] <dthorenj> using steps from the ubuntu website
[09:13] <dthorenj> it didnt work
[09:13] <Senderbasic> tehxed: lsmod | grep bcm .. output ?
[09:13] <dthorenj> :/
[09:13] <StoneNote> Senderbasic, when I >> sudo apt-cache search wifi << I get returns for madwifi-tools and kwifimanager and wifi-radar and a few others but not the ones you named
[09:13] <tehxed> Senderbasic, right, i try that networking thing in system > admin
[09:14] <AMD-> i have a Logitech, Inc. Dual Action Gamepad
[09:14] <Gartral> ok, i updated my system... and now everything that used gksudo is trying to use root
[09:14] <Senderbasic> tehxed, StoneNote: youll need the driver loaded for the netcard, thats step one
[09:14] <Pici> enTity: dont put slashes around the devicename just `MAKEDEV null`
[09:14] <soundray> grndslm: just backing it up yourself is still the best option if you ask me ;)
[09:14] <mwe> prem: nothing. type hostname to see the new host name
[09:14] <dthorenj> btw, i installed Azureus AFTER i did anything with automatix
[09:14] <enTity> ok
[09:14] <dthorenj> and it worked yesterday when i downloaded something through it
[09:14] <tehxed> Senderbasic, where do i post output?
[09:14] <dthorenj> :/
[09:15] <grndslm> soundray:  it seems like there's gotta be something to do to prevent stuff like this, it isn't necessary with any commercial OS...doesn't make sense to busy up the irc with trivial stuff
[09:15] <Senderbasic> tehxed, one line is ok
[09:15] <StoneNote> Senderbasic, my wireless works fine. using the same directions tehxed says do not work for him
[09:15] <StoneNote> different driver though
[09:15] <grndslm> backup of critical things like those should be a given

[09:15] <Gartral> ok, i updated my system... and now everything that used gksudo is trying to use root instead, has anyone run into this before?
[09:15] <prem> mwe:shall i restart and see>?>
[09:15] <mwe> dthorenj: maybe automatix already hosed your system

[09:15] <mwe> prem: it should work right away
[09:15] <prem> mwe:i got my added hostname
[09:15] <dthorenj> so i cant do anything but fresh install?
[09:15] <Pici> enTity: Great
[09:15] <dthorenj> damnit
[09:15] <dthorenj> that takes way too long
[09:16] <Senderbasic> StoneNote, ok. but these steps are long any shouldnt be needed (if youre efficient enough)

[09:16] <Gartral> ok, i updated my system... and now everything that used gksudo is trying to use root instead, has anyone run into this before in dapper drake?
[09:16] <dthorenj> is that why sometimes, games wont show up and/or load at all?
[09:16] <dthorenj> because of this automatix2?
[09:16] <bestadvocate> Could someone point me in the right dirrection on how to get a better keybord driver? I'm trying to learn emacs and one of my Alt Keys isnt working.
[09:17] <prem> mwe:thanks man hope it stays like this!
[09:17] <kobzan> hi
[09:17] <lasse_> sparr: You got any more tips?
[09:17] <mwe> prem: you may have to log out and back in and/or restart gdm or just reboot for everything to see. It does stay now
[09:17] <Senderbasic> tehxed: got "wireless-tools" ?
[09:17] <Tonren> Can someone tell me why this /etc/network/interfaces file hangs on bootup?  Why does this fail, but manually typing iwconfig wlan0 essid any and iwconfig wlan0 ap any work?
[09:17] <Tonren> http://pastie.caboo.se/42521
[09:17] <dthorenj> ????
[09:17] <Xanatus> tehxed look at the messages i just sent you
[09:17] <Senderbasic> tehxed: run  'iwconfig'
[09:17] <Tonren> Err, I know there's no "auto wlan0" by the way, it should be there
[09:17] <sparr> lasse_: i got nothin, sorry  :(
[09:17] <grndslm> soundray:  ok, so it says that primary partitions 1-4 are unused....i did not mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdd1, it was just /dev/hdd...that's still acceptable, right?
[09:18] <Gartral> ok, i updated my system... and now everything that used gksudo is trying to use root instead, has anyone run into this before in dapper drake?
[09:18] <Xanatus> i just told him to do that
[09:18] <sparr> lasse_: youre sure you installed the driver AND the kernel module?
[09:18] <Senderbasic> tehxed: got that iwconfig command ?
[09:18] <Xanatus> i need the outputs
[09:18] <dthorenj> ?????
[09:18] <Xanatus> for ifconfig, ifconfig -a, and iwconfig
[09:18] <soundray> grndslm: 1) fixing your partition table is anything but trivial. 2) this isn't Linux related: the partition table is a leftover from DOS days. 3) wrecking it can happen to any system that gets into an uncontrolled state like yours
[09:18] <Xanatus> tehxed
[09:18] <mmainzer> hallo
[09:18] <Junkfer> compaq ml370 server with 2x9,1 GB disk in raid0 after a full reinstall not bootind, i have only a blinking cursor

[09:18] <lesshaste> do any of the ubuntu install iso's support the wireless ath_pci driver?
[09:18] <Junkfer> any1 to help?
[09:19] <cosmmin> hi, how i can login as root in ubuntu?
[09:19] <soundray> grndslm: hold on -- you formatted the entire harddisk with mkfs.ext3? You didn't partition it?
[09:19] <tehxed> Xanatus, ?
[09:19] <tehxed> Senderbasic, where do i post the outputs?
[09:19] <mwe> lesshaste: not out of the box I think
[09:19] <Xanatus> check the messages i sent you
[09:19] <Xanatus> on priv
[09:19] <lasse_> sparr: hmm. I dunno. What packages are they?
[09:19] <lesshaste> mwe: ah.. so I can't install over wireless :(
[09:19] <cosmmin> soundray, i fix at last the sound! and work perfectly!
[09:19] <grndslm> soundray:  yup, i don't remember using fdisk at all now that i think about it
[09:19] <Senderbasic> tehxed: No, public 3 lines max
[09:19] <mwe> lesshaste: I think you need the restricte modules
[09:19] <grndslm> i figured since i had already done fdisk before it wasn't necessary again
[09:19] <mwe> lesshaste: No I couldn't either
[09:19] <lesshaste> mwe: is madwifi restricted?
[09:19] <tehxed> Xanatus, i sent you the response
[09:19] <lesshaste> mwe: what laptop do you have?
[09:19] <soundray> cosmmin: well done... I must admit I can't remember helping you, sorry
[09:19] <mwe> lesshaste: plugged in a cable while installing
[09:19] <Xanatus> are you sure you sent it to me ?
[09:19] <Xanatus> lol
[09:19] <Pici> Tonren: Try it without the wireless-ap, just the wireless-essid
[09:20] <mwe> lesshaste: ibm X40
[09:20] <Xanatus> cuz i didn
[09:20] <soundray> grndslm: arrgh.
[09:20] <Xanatus> t get it
[09:20] <soundray> grndslm: forget about gpart then
[09:20] <lesshaste> mwe: ok.. I will have to get a cable maybe...
[09:20] <Senderbasic> lesshaste: its not, but card specs are beeing 'filled in' codewise
[09:20] <Xanatus> stupid keyboard.... i keep pressing enter instead of '
[09:20] <dthorenj> is that why sometimes, games wont show up and/or load at all?
[09:20] <cosmmin> soundray,  before 2 days, when i tell you that only 1 speaker works!
[09:20] <dthorenj> because of this automatix2?
[09:20] <Tonren> Pici: Why would that work...?  Jus tcurious
[09:20] <mwe> lesshaste: IMHO madwifi sucks, though. disconnecting all the time. I went with ndiswrapper instead
[09:20] <bestadvocate> grndslm: unfortunately I have no idea where to start with driver replacements.
[09:20] <lesshaste> mwe: does the minimal install iso do partitioning for you too?
[09:20] <cosmmin> HOW i can login as root in ubuntu?
[09:20] <mwe> lesshaste: if you tell it to
[09:20] <Pici> Tonren: I dont know.  I just compared your interfaces file to mine.
[09:20] <lesshaste> Senderbasic: ok
[09:20] <Xanatus> ok, tehxed do you have msn or yahoo or something ?
[09:20] <mwe> lesshaste: it asks you
[09:20] <lesshaste> mwe: ok.. it didn't get to that point obviously then
[09:20] <bestadvocate> cosmmin: you need to create a root acount
[09:20] <Senderbasic> mwe, lesshaste: madwifi was stable for me
[09:21] <lyam> is it possible somehow to force apt-get to use ssl?
[09:21] <Gartral> !root cosmmin
[09:21] <mwe> Senderbasic: it is for some. using wpa2?
[09:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about root cosmmin - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:21] <tehxed> Xanatus, did you get that?
[09:21] <tehxed> Xanatus, msn
[09:21] <tehxed> Xanatus, or aim?
[09:21] <lesshaste> Senderbasic: ok thanks.  Just installing is my first challenge... wireless seems to be out for the moment
[09:21] <Gartral> !root/cosmmin
[09:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about root/cosmmin - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:21] <Tonren> Pici: Weird.  Also, the other thing that drives me crazy is that if there *ISN'T* an available wireless access point, it hangs for FIVE MINUTES trying to connect to one.  How can I set a shorter time-out on boot?  Even worse is if you try to do auto wlan0 eth0, in which case it'll hang searching for a wired connection and THEN hang searching for wireless.  It's awful.  Do you know what to do about that?
[09:21] <Xanatus> tehxed you choose i have them all
[09:21] <Gartral> !root
[09:21] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:21] <cosmmin> WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! bestadvocate are you joking me?! first time this is happen or i hear it :-p
[09:21] <soibewoners> salam
[09:21] <tehxed> Xanatus, is this your aim?
[09:21] <Senderbasic> mwe, lesshaste: i compiled the latest code and insmodded it then configured the iwconfig and started the interfaces
[09:22] <soundray> cosmmin: I remember now. How did you fix it?
[09:22] <ompaul> cosmmin, so use ehhhh sudo
[09:22] <mwe> Senderbasic: using wpa2?
[09:22] <Xanatus> tehxed yeah but i usually don't use this one, add gigaxanatus
[09:22] <bestadvocate> cosmmin:its a security feature.  caused a lot of contriversy back in the days of Warty.
[09:22] <enTity> you can run a root terminal with su i think
[09:22] <cosmmin> wait a minute to check it :-p
[09:22] <Senderbasic> lesshaste: Np, the problem is mostly "do i have a prism or a madwifi".. madwifi is netgear and others Prism are not
[09:22] <enTity> but you may need to actually create a password for the root account i think
[09:22] <mwe> Senderbasic: I compiled from source. svn and latest it disconnects a few times an hour. reconnects fast, though. but hoses downloads and stuff
[09:23] <cosmmin> ok it works! only i have to renew a pass :-p
[09:23] <cosmmin> THX!

[09:23] <enn> Hello ... What do I need to do to get normal unix manpages for things like select(2) and fork(2)?

[09:23] <Senderbasic> mwe: get the latest stable, not svn/git/cvs
[09:23] <mwe> Senderbasic: I tried that one too
[09:23] <Senderbasic> if it has support its more stable generally

[09:24] <mwe> prem: is /etc/hosts changed?
[09:24] <bestadvocate> whelp I'm off to try and google my problems away, I'm sure I'll be back.
[09:25] <Senderbasic> mwe, they arent perfectly stable, i tried one that was impossible to unload, forcing was the only thing that worked

[09:28] <soundray> !ask
[09:28] <bigjohntoday> I have been going at this for a couple of days now
[09:28] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:28] <bigjohntoday> lol
[09:28] <bigjohntoday> ok
[09:28] <iulian_> have a question: if I install a cvs server, will I be able to interact (commit, update) from a windows machine?
[09:28] <bigjohntoday> how in the world do I install ubuntu with DVI graphics support
[09:28] <bigjohntoday> using matrox mel G550
[09:28] <mwe> prem: following sevaral directions might confuse the system
[09:29] <bigjohntoday> i get it to show ubuntu progress bar
[09:29] <soundray> bigjohntoday: it has DVI graphics support by default
[09:29] <Kyral> iulian_: Assuming the Windows machine has a CVS client
[09:29] <bigjohntoday> but it just gives up because it cannot load the next screen (doesn't display anything)
[09:29] <soundray> bigjohntoday: you may have to boot in Safe Graphics mode
[09:29] <bigjohntoday> tried
[09:29] <mwe> prem: ?
[09:29] <bigjohntoday> also nothing
[09:29] <prem> mwe:i did it
[09:29] <mwe> !enter | big
[09:29] <ubotu> big: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[09:29] <bigjohntoday> but i will attempt again to try in safe graphics mode
[09:29] <mwe> prem: that's /etc/hosts or /etc/hostname ?
[09:29] <mwe> prem: did what?
[09:29] <soundray> bigjohntoday: in that case, you may have to download and install with the alternate CD
[09:30] <soundray> !alternate | bigjohntoday
[09:30] <ubotu> bigjohntoday: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[09:30] <prem> went to network admin and gave hostname
[09:30] <mwe> prem: I didn't suggest that
[09:30] <mwe> prem: tell me the contents of /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts now
[09:31] <iulian_> Kyral: So I have to install a cvs client on Win. What should I use on linux and what on win?
[09:31] <mwe> prem: following sevaral directions might confuse the system
[09:31] <bigjohntoday> ok I will attempt both since I have all the various CD's, trying safe graphcis mode now and then I will attempt to use the alternate CD for ubuntu 6.10 then I will get back to you guys on what I may need to do:)
[09:31] <soundray> arrenlex: it depends wholly on how much interprocess communication you need on your cluster. That, in turn, depends on the type of application you are going to run
[09:31] <Kyral> iulian_: For a client? CVS
[09:31] <fiXXXerMet> Is the apache2 package chrooted by default/
[09:31] <fiXXXerMet> ?
[09:31] <Enselic``> Why oh why does this fail?    sudo echo -e '#!/bin/bash\napt-cache show $*\n' > /usr/local/bin/acshow   it says "bash: /usr/local/bin/acshow: Permission denied
[09:31] <Kyral> iulian_: I dunno I have never setup a CVS server
[09:31] <soundray> bigjohntoday: in principle, your card should be supported by the mga driver.
[09:31] <Senderbasic> fiXXXerMet, no
[09:32] <fiXXXerMet> thanks
[09:32] <Senderbasic> fiXXXerMet, yes
[09:32] <sharms> iulian_: #1. CVS sucks, try to use BZR or svn instead.  #2. on windows, try tortoise CVS
[09:32] <Senderbasic> :)
[09:32] <arrenlex> soundray: Things like compiling, compressing, I guess.
[09:32] <Senderbasic> fiXXXerMet, its semi
[09:32] <jrib> Enselic``: because the redirection is done by the shell you are running, which only has your user permissions.  pipe to 'tee' instead
[09:32] <fiXXXerMet> Semi?  How so?
[09:32] <mwe> fiXXXerMet: it only servers /var/www by default I think
[09:32] <mwe> serves
[09:32] <Enselic``> jrib: ah, thanks
[09:32] <jrib> Enselic``: example:  echo foo | sudo tee /var/bar
[09:32] <fiXXXerMet> What if it needs to access some files outside of that directory with suexec?
[09:32] <soundray> Enselic``: because the shell that you run the sudo in is responsible for the redirection
[09:32] <soundray> oops, too slow
[09:33] <Senderbasic> fiXXXerMet, its not really chrooted as in it needs it own environment, it can still utilize outside files but very few
[09:33] <Enselic``> soundray: thank you too :)
[09:33] <mwe> fiXXXerMet: if you want to serve other files add the locations to the config or create symlinks
[09:33] <Senderbasic> fiXXXerMet, have the latest and youll be ok
[09:33] <Senderbasic> now, move along! :)
[09:33] <bigjohntoday> soudray: the only problem is that I can not even get through the basic splash page... it just goes through the progress bar for a few seconds and then fails..... the error I get if it helps would be /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off.....  and I get that error when i remove quiet splash and place break=bottom instead
[09:33] <fiXXXerMet> Hmmm
[09:33] <iulian_> sharms: I have a linux server and commit/update from a win machine
[09:34] <prem> mwe:in hosts this is wht i have http://paste.biz/paste-704.html
[09:34] <mwe> prem: are you going to tell me the contents of /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname? ;)
[09:34] <jrib> sparr: probably need to check dmesg or check 'mount' output for the /dev/foobar corresponding to the mount point for your camera.  Also, I think you might be able to look into how 'pmount' works.  That's what actually mounts the stuff in edgy I think
[09:34] <sparr> jrib: its not a usb storage device
[09:34] <sharms> iulian_: ... and?
[09:34] <bigjohntoday> basically having an issue with /dev/console
[09:34] <mwe> prem: that's good. a lot of blank lines, though. shouldn't hurt. /etc/hostname?
[09:34] <prem> mwe:in hostname i have premkumar15
[09:35] <grndslm> damm soundray, i feel like a dumass...the reason gdm was saying it couldn't read my home directory is because i was logging in as root
[09:35] <grndslm> i'm guessing
[09:35] <mwe> prem: If it doesn't stay now I would be very surprised
[09:35] <prem> mwe:in hostname i have premkumar1
[09:35] <iulian_> sharms: ...and I can use turtoise as a client for a linux server?
[09:35] <prem> typo mwe:in hostname i have premkumar1
[09:35] <jrib> sparr: but gnome-volume-manager still handles the automounting right?
[09:35] <sharms> iulian_: exactly!
[09:35] <prem> mwe:in hostname i have premkumar14
[09:35] <mwe> preaction: premkumar1?
[09:35] <sparr> jrib: i dont use gnome.  if i did, i doubt it would.
[09:35] <grndslm> soundray:  so, i should just try fdisking the backup drive now and rsyncing?
[09:35] <jrib> sparr: what do you use?
[09:35] <mwe> preaction: or 15 or 14 or what
[09:36] <mwe> prem ^^
[09:36] <preaction> i'm preaction, he's prem :(
[09:36] <mwe> prem: that was for you
[09:36] <soundray> bigjohntoday: I see, so the problem is before X even tries to load...
[09:36] <prem> mwe:14
[09:36] <bigjohntoday> yes
[09:36] <XAMCTBO> sh: make: command not found
[09:36] <mwe> preaction: yeah sorry. I was too quick with the completion
[09:36] <sparr> jrib: kde
[09:36] <XAMCTBO> how to fix this ? sh: make: command not found
[09:36] <mwe> prem: so only premkumar14 as in /etc/hosts?
[09:36] <prem> mwe:shall i restart>:
[09:36] <Senderbasic> fiXXXerMet: in a real chroot youll build up everything needed to support a process'es need to calculate, like /dev/console, /dev/ram, /user/lib/... and some other files, youll learn alot buy setting up a chroot which you can chroot into
[09:36] <sparr> XAMCTBO: install make?
[09:36] <bigjohntoday> soundray: yes
[09:36] <soundray> grndslm: if you partition the drive, you'll have to format it, too. Then you can rsync to backup. Yes, that's what I would do
[09:37] <prem> mwe:yep
[09:37] <XAMCTBO> sparr yes
[09:37] <mwe> prem: If it doesn't stay now I would be very surprised
[09:37] <nolo> I'm a total n00b to a command line. I've only known GUI. Where do I learn Ubuntu terminal shell commands? please give me a link so I can start learning :)
[09:37] <lucas_> hy, has  any one updated feisty to xorg 7.2 ?
[09:37] <prem> mwe:shall i restart>:

[09:37] <XAMCTBO> next error
[09:37] <soundray> bigjohntoday: I'm not sure if that would help, but you could try using a framebuffer console -- let me look something up...
[09:37] <Senderbasic> nolo: need to know how to "cd".. google "linux cd" :)

[09:44] <StoneNote> XAMCTBO, if you go to the link they gave you, the first instruction is sudo apt-get install build-essential and you're going to feel foolish if that's all you need to do

[09:44] <soundray> grndslm: you're okay now by the sounds of it. Make sure you allocate enough swap to avoid out-of-memory conditions.
[09:44] <SamePaul> Senderbasic: derivative from "lame". XAMCTBO is not good in grammar
[09:44] <arrenlex> Senderbasic: What are you doing?
[09:44] <Senderbasic> lammer is lame, misspelling
[09:44] <Senderbasic> arrenlex ?
[09:44] <soundray> Senderbasic: and I think he wasn't referring to you, but to himself
[09:45] <prem> mwe:thanks a ton...saved my day!!!
[09:45] <RkyRaccoon55> royel: you around?
[09:45] <shwag> is it difficult to setup an IRC server ?
[09:45] <grndslm> soundray:  a swap on the backup drive?  never heard of such?  i assume it doesn't need to be much since it's the backup, eh?
[09:45] <Senderbasic> no problem, im just coding stuff.. not doing anything evil like way back :)
[09:46] <SamePaul> Could someone help me with IPW2200? I'm trying to compile accroding to instruction I've found but no luck meanwhile
[09:46] <grndslm> soundray:  or do i make it the same size as my main drive?
[09:46] <soundray> grndslm: not on the backup drive -- anywhere on the system
[09:46] <StoneNote> SamePaul, what instructions are you following?
[09:46] <Senderbasic> SamePaul: xamtool is excused ;)
[09:46] <grndslm> soundray:  well, i have a gig of swap...for a gig of memory, should i allocate more to swap?
[09:47] <soundray> grndslm: no, that'll be enough
[09:47] <SamePaul> StoneNote: http://linuxforum.ru/index.php?showtopic=33565#
[09:47] <grndslm> alright...well, i'm good now (hopefully)...thanks again, soundray
[09:47] <soundray> grndslm: but I'm pretty sure now that whatever rendered your system unusable wasn't a lack of memory.
[09:47] <StoneNote> SamePaul, no can help. I can't read russian
[09:48] <grndslm> i'm assuming it was not using fdisk?
[09:48] <bigjohntoday> just out of curiousity has anyone ever got ubuntu to install using a maxtor graphics card with dual dvi connections?
[09:48] <grndslm> maybe not...

[09:48] <cosmmin> checking for gcc... gcc
[09:48] <cosmmin> checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works... no
[09:48] <cosmmin> configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.
[09:49] <arrenlex> irida: bs | cosmmin
[09:49] <irida> cosmmin: Compiling from source? You'll need to install the build-essential package.
[09:49] <SamePaul> StoneNote: 1st part - installing ieee80211
[09:49] <Senderbasic> cosmmin: install gcc then...
[09:49] <cosmmin> but gcc is installed

[09:51] <cosmmin> i installing right now
[09:51] <arrenlex> cosmmin: yw.
[09:51] <fxfitz> arrenlex: When you say terminal, do you mean CTRL-ALT-F1? Because that doesn't seem to work in Ubuntu like it does in other distros.
[09:51] <arrenlex> fxfitz: You should use a terminal emulator.
[09:52] <arrenlex> fxfitz: Although ctrl+alt+f1 should work in ubuntu as in all the other distros, and does for me.
[09:52] <Senderbasic> arrenlex: Perhaps but what is required is also nice especially when you like computing
[09:52] <StoneNote> SamePaul, paste what you are getting from the make or make install that is not working
[09:52] <fxfitz> arrenlex: Hmm. Yeah, it's just giving me a black screen. :(
[09:52] <StoneNote> SamePaul, use pastebin
[09:52] <arrenlex> fxfitz: Dunno. Use the terminal emulator.
[09:52] <fxfitz> arrenlex: Alright, thank you!
[09:53] <SamePaul> StoneNote: it's hard, since my notebook is not connected. I'm now from WinXP desktop
[09:53] <Senderbasic> arrenlex: I compute about 15 hours a day, mostly networking stuff but also spend alot of hours a week coding

[09:54] <RkyRaccoon55> can somebody here help me get some drivers working on an ati radeon x1950 pro?
[09:54] <JoseStefan> I've moved my ubuntu hard drive to another computer, the drive has both WinXP (A) and ubuntu. And the new hardware has another drive with only WinXP (B) on it. I would like to have grub as the main boot loader, but change my dual boot settings so that it boots the WinXP (B), as WinXP (A) will not boot because of the change of hardware. I have tried (hd0,0) and (hd1,0) and both seem to boot the same WinXP install.
[09:54] <SamePaul> StoneNote: Yeap :) But the problem is that it can't find ieee80211.h in /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/include
[09:55] <administrator_> is there a way to send a process immediately into the background over ssh using '&'?  or is this not possible because the shell is a child of ssh?

[10:02] <fxfitz> :(
[10:02] <SurfnKid> bigjohntoday: im using it now, you see my laptop is acting funny. I connect the printer directly (usb) and I can print a test print, but I cant seem to print any other jobs, it says serial printer error. So I connected it back to the print server (ubuntu) and I just want to send a print job from my laptop
[10:02] <SurfnKid> Vlet: hello
[10:03] <Senderbasic> sometimes i wish some people will actually find out and say thanks for all the code man, but no.. :) .. oh well, code goes on and so does life
[10:03] <grndslm> uh soundray:  i'm dewercs
[10:03] <bigjohntoday> SurfnKid: what you can attempt to do is set up the print using cups but using TCP/IP style setup hence you send the print job to the "IP" of your other box and theoretically that should do it. I have done it before but this was a while back....

[10:15] <starly> shadowhywind_: afaik with startx your standard windowmanager should start (as root, since you did starx as root, i suppose)
[10:15] <soundray> grndslm: why they don't work I don't know, we could diagnose if you're very interested, but it's probably not worth it if it works with the devnames.
[10:15] <Senderbasic> soundray: we are having fun at no expense of ubuntu, Im coding quite a few apps youre using, can i make a few jokes not related to ubuntu ?
[10:15] <shadowhywind_> starly afaik? or startx afaik?

[10:15] <grndslm> soundray:  yea, if i get it working, i'm done

[10:18] <bigz> kane77: is that going to work tho, seen as i did a NAT connection and not a brigde connection?

[10:20] <starly> scienceboy: just insert the cd and run the installation of ubuntu - it will ask you to partition your hdd and then you can format (and delete all content) it
[10:20] <bigz> kane77: so i do that and then i would follow the guide.. that you just gave me cureect?
[10:20] <Senderbasic> StoneNote: thanks mate!
[10:20] <StoneNote> yw
[10:20] <bigz> *Currect
[10:20] <TheMonkeyMoo> scienceboy: during the Ubuntu installation you will get an option to delete the entire hard drive. choose this option.
[10:20] <Hasrat_Usa> currect!
[10:20] <scienceboy> starly: so when i tell it to partition, it will give me the option to format the harddrive and erase all of window's stuff?

[10:20] <scienceboy> starly: thank you!
[10:20] <gnomefreak> SurfnKid: sorry not off hand i dont use it

[10:23] <bigz> Hasrat_Usa: what program?
[10:23] <dickfitzwell> alrighty sorry for any offense
[10:23] <dickfitzwell> brb then
[10:23] <Hasrat_Usa> i think you have to go to edit > preferences. frostwire. i meant to say, "frostwire is performing fine?"
[10:23] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: booting another system here to ppek in the xorg.conf file......
[10:23] <Pelo> Hasrat_Usa,  yes frostwire is working
[10:24] <Hasrat_Usa> ok
[10:24] <soundray> starly: if you want a different version, you have to compile and install it yourself, bypassing the apt system.
[10:24] <StoneNote> Senderbasic, there is another email from http://svn.exactcode.de/t2/trunk/package/filesystem/bin2iso/bin2iso.desc which is Nagy Karoly Gabriel <karasz@x5.ro> and according to bin2iso.desc bin2iso.c IS gpl, unless I'm reading this wrong
[10:24] <lesshaste> which install iso's have gparted on them?
[10:24] <scope006> I feel really stupid asking this but I'm not use to a Debian based system.  How can i find out my default gateway if im using dhcp?  /etc/sysconfig/network* is not the file structure ubuntu is using
[10:24] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Gracias
[10:24] <Endafy> sorry about any offense my other nick may have caused
[10:24] <starly> soundray: can i tell apt not to install another version of xorg, when i install it from source?
[10:24] <scope006> yes i did some diggin... =(
[10:24] <Endafy> I forgot kids may be here
[10:25] <Pelo> Hasrat_Usa, I though you were a fan ?  there is no prefs in frostwire, the optons are under tools
[10:25] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: are you only tring to do this for the internal LCD? or other monitors attached?
[10:25] <hairulfr> <Hey all, how do I do a backtrace on a hostname? Is there a nice tool for this?
[10:25] <Endafy> OK i need help I want to learn Ubuntu I am extremely new to linux and a friend pointed me to ubuntu
[10:25] <hairulfr> Or IP for that matter
[10:25] <Senderbasic> StoneNote: I think he is swdish..
[10:26] <bigjohntoday> ok how can I get to a command line mode in ubuntu without loading into the GUI so I can install matrox video card drive?
[10:26] <soundray> starly: yes, but you have to uninstall all the metapackages that depend on X directly or indirectly
[10:26] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Just the attached monitor thing.
[10:26] <jrib> Endafy: take a look at help.ubuntu.com
[10:26] <Endafy> ty
[10:26] <soundray> starly: btw, feisty will have 7.1
[10:26] <jmazaredo> if i can run desk3d can i run beryl?
[10:26] <pkilgore_> I'm looking for a better gdb frontend than ddd, does anybody have any suggestions?
[10:26] <Hasrat_Usa> oh yeah pelo sorry :P
[10:26] <tonyyarusso> soundray: 7.2
[10:26] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: Section "Monitor"
[10:26] <geek-wannabe> 	Identifier   "LCD"
[10:26] <geek-wannabe> 	Option	    "DPMS"
[10:26] <geek-wannabe> EndSection
[10:26] <StoneNote> Senderbasic, probably is. but the person at the second email might know how to contact him if the other email address is a deadend
[10:26] <Hasrat_Usa> um no there is no possible solution of it as of today
[10:26] <soundray> tonyyarusso: really?
[10:27] <tonyyarusso> soundray: yep  :)
[10:27] <Hasrat_Usa> but it didn't happen to me though
[10:27] <tonyyarusso> soundray: (see /topic in #ubuntu+1)
[10:27] <Hasrat_Usa> it just works like limewire in Linux in my PC
[10:27] <starly> soundray: does this mean, i have to install all GUI-programs from source?
[10:27] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: no refresh info in the xorg file on the notebook, apparently
[10:27] <Endafy> finally a manual I have been through like 10 different distributions and this is all I asked for and it was like pulling teeth
[10:27] <soundray> tonyyarusso: thanks. starly, take note ;)
[10:27] <cbx33> any reason why also just forgot about one of my sound cards?
[10:27] <soundray> starly: no
[10:27] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Yeah, I have all that. But I also don't have any resolutions higher than 1024x768
[10:27] <Vlet>  is there anything I need to do to get the livecd to recognize a usb keyboard? there is no option in my bios for legacy device etc
[10:28] <soundray> starly: you can still install GUI clients, as they don't depend on the X server being installed locally.
[10:28] <Hasrat_Usa> Vlet is it a dell? is it a AMD Athlon 64 bit dual core?
[10:28] <Senderbasic> StoneNote: he has directed the url to my site :) .. Thats way neat but update the url to mange.dynalias.org/.... its much faster resolving (or used to be anyhow)  [U]  http://mange.dynup.net/linux/bin2iso/
[10:28] <StoneNote> Endafy, you might want to look at this starter guide too http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy
[10:28] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: yes and no. intel core 2
[10:28] <scope006> figured it out.  /sbin/route works
[10:28] <scope006> thnx guys
[10:28] <Senderbasic> StoneNote: hoho, thats neat!
[10:29] <bigjohntoday> does ubuntu work fine with intel core duo technology?>
[10:29] <chiefbearclaw> hi minx :P
[10:29] <cafuego> bigjohntoday: yup
[10:29] <soundray> starly: but you can probably save yourself headaches by testing feisty instead of retrofitting 7.2 onto edgy.
[10:29] <|Minx|> hey chief:)
[10:29] <TheMonkeyMoo> bigjohntoday, it works great on my Centrino Duo laptop
[10:29] <cafuego> model name      : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU          6300  @ 1.86GHz
[10:29] <chiefbearclaw> its crazy in here sometimes so hang tight
[10:29] <bigjohntoday> thats the same cpu i got
[10:29] <|Minx|> crazy i like :P
[10:29] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: Any suggestions?
[10:29] <Hasrat_Usa> Vlet is your USB mouse working fine?
[10:29] <Endafy> I have ubuntu and it fails to boot due to my video card will be replacing it soon its an ati radeon x700 pro and If I can get someone to help get me started it would be much appreciated
[10:30] <cafuego> bigjohntoday: Edgy may not work with all components on the latest 965 mainboards
[10:30] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: See, I'm trying to follow: http://www.kodeks.hr/Assets/Pdf/inspiron_6400.pdf
[10:30] <Senderbasic> StoneNote: ill have to throw away this modem as well to live in complete etherwire freedom (not that i need to but for the sake of argument)
[10:30] <bigjohntoday> ok so what am i to do?
[10:30] <Senderbasic> :)
[10:30] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: I can't tell. The system boots fine because I can hear the startup sound, but there also seems to be no support for my vid card, so I see nothing, and can not ctrl-alt-f1 to get to a terminal :/
[10:30] <starly> soundray: i'll test feisty, if it's not better in feisty, can i install xorg 6.X and let xorg7 installed until xorg6 is running or will i have a time when i can't use X?
[10:30] <TheMonkeyMoo> endafy, I had a lot of trouble with various ATI video cards, but have not had any problems with Nvidia cards.
[10:30] <cafuego> bigjohntoday: Boot into recovery mode, it will dump you to a root shell.
[10:31] <Endafy> ya I am going to buy nvidia
[10:31] <bigjohntoday> no it goes into a panic mode
[10:31] <SamePaul> how to mount SMB such that it will be accessible from apps?
[10:31] <Endafy> jus no cash right now
[10:31] <Hasrat_Usa> nobody can assure you that he/she can solve your problem. but you never know! however, answering some questions asked by people who have been through similiar scenarios would always help
[10:31] <gnomefreak> Senderbasic: you were asked to continue offtopic "topics" in #ubuntu-offtopic.
[10:31] <bigjohntoday> cafuego: I will try again and let you know what message I get this time
[10:31] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: The optical light is on though
[10:31] <Endafy> even in windows ati sucks
[10:31] <Hasrat_Usa> okay Vlet now you're saying that you are having problems with video. now that's a bigger problem
[10:32] <gop> windows ati drivers are bloated
[10:32] <soundray> starly: I'm not aware of any way of installing 6.X without bypassing apt
[10:32] <gop> or at least the function
[10:32] <gop> to get tv out
[10:32] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: yes, booting off 6.10, after the system tries to go into VGA, goes blank
[10:32] <christianp> hi all
[10:32] <Senderbasic> !changenets:scatter:311422,6:await12
[10:32] <bigjohntoday> cafuego: once again in recovery mode i got smp_apic_timer_interrupt
[10:32] <starly> soundray: ok, thanks a lot :-)
[10:32] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: In xorg.conf, in section "Screen", you should have subsections for "display" as folows:
[10:32] <geek-wannabe> 	SubSection "Display"
[10:32] <geek-wannabe> 		Depth     24
[10:32] <geek-wannabe> 		Modes    "1280x768"
[10:32] <xenoborg> endafy: what does your Xorg log say?
[10:32] <cosmodad> can anyone tell me how to produce characters based on unicode encoding? I defined the "Compose" key but cannot manage to print the english pound
[10:32] <cosmodad> ...using gnome
[10:32] <Senderbasic> gnomefreak: yes python coder ?
[10:32] <cafuego> Senderbasic: Which botnet are you working with?
[10:33] <Hasrat_Usa> have you ever tried disconnecting your USB keyboard/mouse, connecting a ps/2 keyboard/mouse and then using the liveCD to boot the PC?
[10:33] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: new Dell Optiplex 745 with a ATI X1300 Pro and dual DVI connected monitors.... Dell: I know, but it's what the school buys :)
[10:33] <gnomefreak> Senderbasic: try #python
[10:33] <soundray> starly: what is it about 7.0 that troubles you?
[10:33] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: the bigger question, is do you have the right drivers for the video chipset?
[10:33] <Endafy> I downloaded Ubuntu Ultimate and when I try to boot it wither the screen goes black and it locks up or it just goes into a text based installer
[10:33] <wabz> hi, the latest update of imagemagick just kinda halts apt-get upgrade - this is a known issue?
[10:33] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Probably not. I JUST installed ubuntu for the first time.
[10:33] <Endafy> does the same thing with reg ubuntu
[10:33] <Endafy> it will just die
[10:33] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: unfortunately, Dell has decided to no longer ship with ps/2 ports :-/
[10:33] <cafuego> bigjohntoday: See if you can add 'pci=noapic' to the kernel commandline
[10:33] <Senderbasic> cafuego: none, i just stare blizzfully out into the greystarrs :)
[10:33] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: also replace 1280x768 in my example with actual resolution you need
[10:33] <soundray> wabz: no, I didn't experience that. What happens when it "kinda halts"?
[10:33] <dick_> I have a kodak c875 and am having problems mounting it cause i can't find any drivers that support it. anyone have any ideas
[10:34] <dick_> ?
[10:34] <Endafy> yeah but I hope Dell ships with Ubuntu
[10:34] <bigjohntoday> cafuego: just at the end correct?
[10:34] <wabz> it's been at "Unpacking replacement imagemagick ..." for _ages_
[10:34] <Tuumba> how can i set up my tv card ? when i try search channel it doesnt find anything.... :(
[10:34] <christianp> i'm "playing" with my old dapper and i find a wrong package in my system, so i'm unable to update it. The problem is: E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[10:34] <cafuego> bigjohntoday: yup
[10:34] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Should I only change it for Depth 24?
[10:34] <fxfitz> Or all of the depths?
[10:34] <cafuego> bigjohntoday: (still the recovery, btw)
[10:34] <soundray> wabz: I suggest you kill it and run 'sudo apt-get -f install'
[10:34] <christianp> i tried to use apt-get -f install, but i have the same error... what other?
[10:35] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: change it for the various bit depths
[10:35] <starly> soundray: i got the driver for my matrox g200 (really old graphics card) and by installing, it complains about wrong xserver version, by checking the manual i found they require xorg 5.X or 6.X
[10:35] <Hasrat_Usa> i know. now i also know that it's a dell computer that you have, Vlet. i have a dell AMD Athlon dual core x2 3800+ and i have run into more serious problems with all my USB devices. i bought ps/2 keyboard and mouse to solve the problem. but to my horror, i found out it didn't have any ps/2 port
[10:35] <dick_> I have a kodak c875 and am having problems mounting it cause i can't find any drivers that support it. anyone have any ideas
[10:35] <bigjohntoday> cafuego: unknown option
[10:35] <Endafy> I tried Fedora core 6 and it just seems incomplete where it needs to be I used Ubuntu on a friend's machine and it is quite nice
[10:35] <xenoborg> endafy: when you are in text mode, type cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[10:35] <wabz> soundray: okay, doing now. It looks like it's doing the same thing though.
[10:35] <cafuego> bigjohntoday: hmmm, hold on
[10:35] <bigjohntoday> ok
[10:35] <Hasrat_Usa> but Vlet as far as i hope we are close to solving the problem. hang on a second. you said it's a dell
[10:36] <cafuego> bigjohntoday: It's a valid line, weird.
[10:36] <Endafy> ok I have to reboot then since I have a wireless card not supported by linux once I get this going I need ndiswrapper as well
[10:36] <Senderbasic> cafuego: openssl is not vulnerable by means of the vectrex its like ssh with of any none.
[10:36] <Hasrat_Usa> Vlet which PC are you on right now? where is the PC in question?
[10:36] <bigjohntoday> pci=noapci or pci=noacpi?
[10:36] <Vlet> I am currently on a win32 dell. the system in question is beside me on the lan.
[10:36] <fotoflo> how do i install perl modules on ubuntu?
[10:36] <cafuego> bigjohntoday: pci=noapic (NOT noacpi)
[10:36] <cima> hi all
[10:36] <wabz> soundray: When I hit ctrl-c, I get; dpkg: warning - old post-removal script killed by signal (Interrupt) if that's any help
[10:37] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Yeah, I just replaced all the resolutions, but I'm pretty sure I don't have any chipsets or anything. I don't even know how to do that. :(
[10:37] <Endafy> I might wait for Ubuntu 7 by then I will have an Nvidia card ty all for your help
[10:37] <bigjohntoday> cafuego: ok I will try again but that is how I put it :)
[10:37] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Or which ones I might need.
[10:37] <Endafy> im so sick of ati
[10:37] <Hasrat_Usa> okay can you please reboot it and tell me the exact version number of its bios?
[10:37] <fotoflo> er nevermind - cpan -i module
[10:37] <cafuego> bigjohntoday: it *really* should work... promise :-)
[10:37] <Endafy> you have all been so helpful
[10:37] <xenoborg> endafy: do you have a working linux system right now?
[10:37] <StoneNote> Endafy, is your monitor DVI?
[10:37] <cafuego> Senderbasic: I was hoping to, but blue.
[10:37] <Senderbasic> cafuego: youre appreciated, keep up the good ways
[10:37] <Endafy> I have Fedora core 6 on
[10:37] <Endafy> it works sort of
[10:37] <Senderbasic> cafuego: yknow
[10:37] <soundray> wabz: if you're good with scripts, you could look at it and find out why it's stalling (/var/lib/dpkg/info/packagename.postrm)
[10:38] <Endafy> but there is literally no help for it
[10:38] <Endafy> unless I wanna pay for it
[10:38] <bigjohntoday> cafuego: kernel panic this time :(
[10:38] <starly> is feisty already stable enough to run it?
[10:38] <xenoborg> can't you install ubuntu without booting?
[10:38] <Senderbasic> cafuego: all sound minded things will perhaps be for the better implementations
[10:38] <Endafy> My Moniter is DVI why
[10:38] <Hasrat_Usa> starly i don't think so
[10:38] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: what is your LCd's ntive resolution?
[10:38] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: Model: Optiplex 745, BIOS: 2.1.0 (12/04/06)
[10:38] <soundray> wabz: if not, you could do a really dirty hack and force the postrm script to succeed by inserting 'exit 0' as the second line of the script.
[10:38] <cafuego> Senderbasic: still without macaroni, but seventeen birds do
[10:38] <wabz> soundray: I'll have a look
[10:38] <Hasrat_Usa> thanks Vlet. hold on
[10:38] <StoneNote> starly, I am running it without issue but in #ubuntu+1 the topic says it should not be considered stable
[10:39] <Senderbasic> cafuego: I for one is for new and well thought out implementations, Ty!
[10:39] <cosmodad> can anyone tell me how to produce characters based on unicode encoding? I defined the "Compose" key in GNOME but cannot manage to print the english pound
[10:39] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: err... what do you mean by that? :(
[10:39] <soundray> starly: I'm running it on a production machine
[10:39] <cafuego> Senderbasic: when?
[10:39] <starly> well, i'll try :-)
[10:39] <tom_ac> I have a problem with 915resolution an an Samsung X20. Can anyone help me?
[10:39] <soundray> starly: only because otherwise it wouldn't run at all. It's stable. That doesn't mean you'll have the same experience, though.
[10:39] <iGadget> hi
[10:40] <Endafy> xenoborg : I have fedora Core 6 I went looking for ndiswrapper for it and it is impossible to get any answers from people on other channels in effnet
[10:40] <bigjohntoday> ok i place break=bottom instead of quiet splash
[10:40] <SamePaul> someone knows how to mount SMB? I remember in Debian it was possible
[10:40] <starly> soundray: the same experience as what?
[10:40] <Endafy> they tell me yum this and that and I have no net unless by wireless
[10:40] <iGadget> I'm trying to install edgy next to my dapper install, and I'd like to re-use my existing /boot partition
[10:40] <soundray> starly: the same experience of stability that I have ;)
[10:40] <bigjohntoday> i still am getting this /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off what the heck should i do
[10:40] <iGadget> but now the installer comes with this:
[10:40] <Senderbasic> cafuego: dalfreenodes+intarwebz.. g_spawn_async_with_pipes()
[10:40] <iGadget> Filesystems used by the system (/, /boot, /usr, /var) must be reformatted for use by this installer. Other filesystems (/home, /media/*, /usr/local, etc.) may be used without reformatting.
[10:40] <iGadget> _why_ does the edgy installer need to format /boot?
[10:40] <Senderbasic> efnets+
[10:40] <cafuego> Senderbasic: often, but not always tomely
[10:40] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: If you mean native resolution, when I use Windows 1680x1050 looks the best and is default.
[10:41] <TheMonkeyMoo> endafy, if you get the ENVY script form http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html and have an internet connection working on the machine with the ATI card, you can use it to install the ATI drivers from the CLI. ENVY is a python script to download and install the latest drivers for you automatically for nvidia and ATI cards. I haven't tried it with ATI, but it worked great for my nvidia
[10:41] <mwe> iGadget: it does? I didn't even create a /boot partition
[10:41] <Senderbasic> cafuego: any of these 'tomely' will know my inner self
[10:41] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: the LCD has a native resolution, such as 1680x1050, refers to the ACTUAL number of pixels in the screen
[10:41] <Hasrat_Usa> Vlet hold on
[10:41] <cafuego> Senderbasic: not for at least more weeks upside down in a car
[10:41] <iGadget> mwe: I did, because I want to use XFS as the root filesystem
[10:41] <Endafy> right net connection is the problem I have
[10:41] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Okay, I do believe it's 1680x1050
[10:42] <TheMonkeyMoo> endafy ah, I see
[10:42] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: I'm hanging - Thanks :)
[10:42] <Endafy> with my current lfedora
[10:42] <soundray> christianp: still here?
[10:42] <mwe> iGadget: I had the option of choosing to format each partition or leave the file sytem
[10:42] <christianp> yes soundray
[10:42] <soundray> christianp: can you put the output of 'sudo apt-get -f install' on the pastebin pls
[10:42] <Senderbasic> cafuego: All the miles in snow and dusk of dan ger it befalls
[10:42] <christianp> ok
[10:42] <Endafy> All I asked for was something better than windows Linux does a fine job of it just why cant people release source to their hardware so drivers can be written
[10:42] <Hasrat_Usa> Vlet thanks. the OS is windows XP?
[10:43] <cafuego> heee
[10:43] <iGadget> mwe: me as well, but when I de-selected the /boot partition, it came up with the error msg I just pasted above
[10:43] <Senderbasic> sorry
[10:43] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: The system I am currently on? yes...?
[10:43] <Endafy> they have nothing to lose and everything to gain by doing so
[10:43] <mwe> iGadget: I think i missed that
[10:43] <Hasrat_Usa> no. optiplex 745, the pc in question
[10:43] <iGadget> Filesystems used by the system (/, /boot, /usr, /var) must be reformatted for use by this installer. Other filesystems (/home, /media/*, /usr/local, etc.) may be used without reformatting.
[10:43] <Senderbasic> cafuego, accept msgs...
[10:43] <iGadget> this msg :)
[10:43] <linuxnewbie756> does anyone here know a REAL way to disable ipv6?
[10:43] <soundray> Endafy: preaching to the choir here...
[10:43] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: check out this website: http://klepas.org/2006/04/09/ubuntu-on-the-inspiron-6400/
[10:44] <Endafy> it is disorienting
[10:44] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: explains it a bit better than I can
[10:44] <mwe> iGadget: odd
[10:44] <Hasrat_Usa> does the PC, which is having problems with running Ubuntu, have windows XP?
[10:44] <mwe> iGadget: report a bug. that's annoying
[10:44] <bigjohntoday> No really, please does anyone have any idea why that occurs?
[10:44] <Endafy> well Ima buy nvidia and get rid of the wireless lan then
[10:44] <iGadget> mwe: yes, especially since feisty didn't complain about htis
[10:44] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: Ahh. Yes, I just wiped the drive, installed XP onto a 50G primary, and was planning on giving ubuntu a 50G secondary
[10:44] <Endafy> get a wire to my router
[10:44] <iGadget> mwe: I guess I will :)
[10:44] <Endafy> is faster anyhow
[10:44] <Hasrat_Usa> cool okay
[10:44] <Endafy> ty all
[10:44] <Senderbasic> cafuego: iroca nakitas nehenono
[10:45] <Endafy> im outie will be back later
[10:45] <soundray> bigjohntoday: I wish I had. Every now and then, someone reports this problem here.
[10:45] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Alright. Now how will that help me, exactly? :-P
[10:45] <mwe> iGadget: a work around would be to back up the data and restore it when it's done. but it sure sounds annoying
[10:46] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: looks like your system needs some tweaking, as I was reading in that site....
[10:46] <iGadget> mwe: that was exactly the question I'd want to ask you... do you think that will work?
[10:46] <bigjohntoday> ok this is the one question does that problem have to do with the matrox card or with the sata drive
[10:46] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: which graphics chipset do you have?
[10:46] <bigjohntoday> because theoretically ubuntu claims it has support for both, seemingly enough it seems their is no support for either l
[10:46] <kharloss> hi . what`s wrong in this eth0  configuration ?
[10:46] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Lol. I really don't know. :(
[10:46] <soundray> christianp: how are you getting on?
[10:46] <kharloss> http://www.nomorepasting.com/paste.php?pasteID=74667
[10:46] <mwe> iGadget: yeah. because the installer will install a kernel and grub and make you able to boot that. so I defenately think it would work
[10:47] <christianp> soundray: sorry, a veri slow internet connection
[10:47] <Hasrat_Usa> Vlet can you type the bios version information one more time?
[10:47] <christianp> soundray: http://pastebin.com/887574
[10:47] <iGadget> mwe: allright, I'll try that then. Thanks!
[10:47] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: BIOS: 2.1.0 (12/04/06)
[10:47] <Hasrat_Usa> when did you buy the PC?
[10:47] <mwe> iGadget: you're welcome
[10:47] <Hasrat_Usa> okay that's not important
[10:47] <Hasrat_Usa> oh
[10:47] <Hasrat_Usa> f***
[10:47] <kharloss> i have 2 computers in my LAN   a web server and this comp i`m typing now .  i can connect using ssh  but this computer doesn` t have an internet connection
[10:47] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: possibly the Intel GMA950, but I can't be sure. Start with finding that out, as that link talks about that particular chipset
[10:47] <Hasrat_Usa> it's 2.1.0?
[10:47] <Vlet> lol
[10:47] <kharloss> what`s wrng ?
[10:47] <Vlet> yes
[10:48] <soundray> christianp: that pastebin is slow. I'm getting it now, but I recommend http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[10:48] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: Brand new system arrived from dell today
[10:48] <christianp> soundray: thanks, next time i 'll use it ;)
[10:48] <kennethlove> hey ianmcorvidae
[10:48] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: I just found this, but I haven't even read it yet:http://www.kodeks.hr/Assets/Pdf/inspiron_6400.pdf
[10:48] <StoneNote> linuxnewbie756 (1) sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/aliases (2) Find the line: alias net-pf-10 ipv6  (3) Edit this to: alias net-pf-10 off  (4) Save the file and reboot
[10:48] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Wrong link. Sorry: http://yergler.net/Ubuntu_on_the_Inspiron_E1505
[10:48] <linuxnewbie756> stonenote, i have tried this, not sure if it works, some way to test it?
[10:49] <soundray> christianp: okay, it looks like you should try a 'sudo rm /etc/rc2.d/K09samba', then try 'sudo apt-get -f install' again.
[10:49] <christianp> ok, i'm trying...
[10:49] <Hasrat_Usa> Vlet do a flash bios upgrade by running the following program from Windows XP http://ftp.us.dell.com/bios/O745-020100.EXE and make proper note of any change you see. the date should be changed to 2/2/2007 after the update
[10:49] <Senderbasic> by Network Solutions
[10:50] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: I was just about to say, it's interesting how the version on the support site is timestamped 2/2/07 even though it's still 2.1.0 :)
[10:50] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: doing so now..
[10:50] <ianmcorvidae> Ok, so I need someone who can guide me through a mysql server install; I've attempted the apt-get install and the Ubuntu wiki instructions for installing from source, but I keep having problems connecting to the server via rubygems and rake after it's installed.
[10:50] <Senderbasic> OMG! wtf lol, we have all the solutions 4youinGPL :)
[10:50] <geek-wannabe> fxfritz: ya, that was the parent link to the one I sent you, lol
[10:50] <Hasrat_Usa> Vlet i strongly believe that they have released an updated version of the very same Bios twice. and the most latest one contains the necessary fixes
[10:51] <mwe> anyone good with udev? what's persistant input rules about?
[10:51] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Oh. hehe. :-P
[10:51] <Vlet> ianmcorvidae: from a terminal, can you execute: mysql -u root -p
[10:51] <Vlet> ianmcorvidae: hit enter when asked for the PW
[10:51] <geek-wannabe> fxfritz: looks like you either have the Intel GMA950, or a Radeon you may have ordered when you configged the notebook from Dell.
[10:52] <Hasrat_Usa> Vlet i will be extremely frustrated if XP tells you that no upgrade is necessary because your bios is up-to-date
[10:52] <ianmcorvidae> it's not installed at the moment, as it was not working with several different installation methods
[10:52] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: I have a feeling it's Intel.
[10:52] <ianmcorvidae> should I reinstall some random way and then get back to you?
[10:52] <geek-wannabe> fxfritz: if the GMA950, then follow the instructions on the link I sent
[10:52] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: Nope, XP took it fine
[10:52] <soundray> ianmcorvidae: not random, use the ubuntu way ;)
[10:53] <Senderbasic> cafuego?<|>nehneh.
[10:53] <ianmcorvidae> heh, ok. I'll presume that means apt-get
[10:53] <soundray> ianmcorvidae: yes
[10:53] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: booting the livecd..
[10:53] <bigz> hey anyone know how i would go about mounting a few folder within vmware to share in ubuntu?...
[10:53] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Hmm. Which link was that again? I'm sorry. :(
[10:53] <StoneNote> linuxnewbie756 on freebsd I'd type "sysctl net.inet6" in a console. if I get a return ipv6 is working otherwise it will return an error.  I'm getting "error: "net.inet6" is an unknown key" on my box
[10:54] <Senderbasic> rev in 326424,279
[10:54] <Hasrat_Usa> and to sum it up all, Vlet, the problems with my USB devices simply vanished after the upgrade
[10:54] <eltech> hah.. have a co-worker loving ubuntu .. i loaded it on a spare laptop we had in the network room :P
[10:54] <Hasrat_Usa> okay let's pray :P
[10:54] <_aleXa_> regards from Serbian LoCo
[10:55] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: http://klepas.org/2006/04/09/ubuntu-on-the-inspiron-6400/
[10:55] <eltech> hes taking the cd home now to try on one of his computers :P
[10:55] <Thug-N-Me> whats the line i have to add in fstab to auto mount nfs share at boot ?
[10:55] <Hasrat_Usa> xp took it fine? that's good
[10:55] <Thug-N-Me> i tried with 10.0.0.12:/home/george/George /media/george/  but didnt worked
[10:55] <Thug-N-Me> mount: unknown filesystem type ''  its what i get
[10:55] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Alright, I'm gonna go do that now. Thank you!
[10:55] <OGb|IronMan> hello. i have a problem with my w-lan network. how can i obtain the knetworkmanager if i have no internet?
[10:56] <OGb|IronMan> i down know where to download the right packages
[10:56] <christianp> thanks soundray: now all works correctly ;)
[10:56] <soundray> Thug-N-Me: try '10.0.0.12:/home/george/George /media/george/ nfs defaults 0 2'
[10:56] <MyGhetek> I have a dell laptop, its a d610 with 1gb ram and 120gb hard drive. this has a 1.8 centrino cpu. i have a dock at home with a million peripherals (all usb) should i go for xubuntu or kubuntu?
[10:56] <eltech> try 10.0.0.12:/home/george/George /media/george/ -ntfs
[10:56] <Hasrat_Usa> vlet what's the video card?
[10:56] <soundray> christianp: hooray!
[10:56] <soundray> eltech: -ntfs ?
[10:56] <davidgw7> i was woundering if its to early to upgrade to 7.4 ?
[10:57] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: null news.. still nothing when I ctrl-alt-f1.. so now it's tough to say whether it is infact going to a terminal and I'm not seeing it, or if the usb is still (or for that matter, ever) screwed
[10:57] <_aleXa_> no, stay on 6,10
[10:57] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: ATI X1300 Pro
[10:57] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: no problem...
[10:57] <soundray> davidgw7: on a production machine? Yes. If you want to help testing and debugging? No, go ahead!
[10:57] <Thug-N-Me> soundray yeah .. im so stupid ..i should know that i have to specify the type file system
[10:57] <Thug-N-Me> soundray thanks
[10:57] <Hasrat_Usa> it's ubuntu edgy eft 6.10 for i686 right?
[10:57] <_aleXa_> feisti fawn iz not stable jet
[10:57] <Vlet> Yes :)
[10:57] <Hasrat_Usa> is it the 32 bit version of Ubuntu that you're trying to use?
[10:58] <mwe> Thug-N-Me: yeah put  nfs defaults 0 0 or something after that. if it's nfs
[10:58] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: oh!! I just double checked, and, I'm so sorry, it's 6.06.1
[10:58] <Thug-N-Me> mwe ok . thanks
[10:58] <Hasrat_Usa> duh!
[10:58] <Hasrat_Usa> lmao
[10:58] <davidgw7> no i'm on my home box  and yes was thing of helping with bugreports and the like
[10:59] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Hehe. Looks like I have the ATI one. :-P
[10:59] <davidgw7> still thinking on it though
[10:59] <Hasrat_Usa> i hate Ubuntu's lts serious
[10:59] <soundray> davidgw7: Herd 4 is very testable
[10:59] <Xanatus> hi, anyone knows how i can change a parm of a module ?
[10:59] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: I have another ubuntu system with a burner in it, upon which I have iso's of several versions, and I must had make a typ-o when doing the burn. I'm so sorry to have wasted your time :(
[10:59] <Hrz1> qualcuno parla Italiano___
[10:59] <_aleXa_> im interesting som things, how u geth Ubuntu in USA
[11:00] <jeff22> hi, where can I get a copy of the gnome-ppp package?
[11:00] <soundray> davidgw7: you may want to join #ubuntu+1 to see what kind of trouble people are having.
[11:00] <rico-ch> download it :D
[11:00] <Xanatus> for instance i need to change
[11:00] <mwe> !it | Hrz1
[11:00] <ubotu> Hrz1: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[11:00] <_aleXa_> sory for bad english
[11:00] <Xanatus> parm:           associate:auto associate when scanning (default 0 off) (int)
[11:00] <SamePaul> great. I'm stuck for 2 hours here and nobody can help me? :\
[11:00] <Hasrat_Usa> but LTS shouldn't be the cause of the problem though. however, numerous people were unable to even boot off LTS and their number is increasing day by day
[11:00] <Xanatus> in my wireless setting
[11:00] <Hasrat_Usa> lol it's okay vlet
[11:00] <Siegfried_> how can you terminate an fgets to stdin in a SIGINT handler?  without using longjump
[11:00] <Xanatus> SamePaul what's your problem ?
[11:00] <geek-wannabe> I'm trying to customize Ubuntu Live 6.10. When I try to loop mount the stock squashfs, I'm getting an error "mount: not a directory" - but I'm pretty sure the directory exists. Any ideas?
[11:00] <madd_matt> Rather quick question, there's a gui version of sudo, something like gksudo?
[11:00] <Hasrat_Usa> listen burn this >>> ubuntu edgy eft 6.10 32 bit version, (not the 64 bit dual core one)
[11:00] <mwe> geek-wannabe: what's the mount command?
[11:00] <soundray> SamePaul: still the wireless issue?
[11:01] <SamePaul> Xanatus: Installing Wireless NIC (Intel 2200BG)
[11:01] <SamePaul> soundray: yes
[11:01] <soundray> !wireless | SamePaul, have you seen this?
[11:01] <ubotu> SamePaul, have you seen this?: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[11:01] <_aleXa_> sudo nautilus and open hide folders
[11:01] <Hasrat_Usa> okay Vlet i hope to meet you here in this channel once again. right now i gotta go home and do some s*** household chores lol but i will be back :)
[11:01] <_aleXa_> then you see
[11:01] <SamePaul> soundray: yes. Gone for reading
[11:01] <geek-wannabe> mwe: sudo mount -t squashfs -o loop mnt/casper/filesystem.squashfs squashfs
[11:02] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Did you come across directions for how to do the ATI chipset?
[11:02] <Vlet> Hasrat_Usa: and I have to go pick up the girl. I'm burning 6.10 now, so yeah, we'll pick this up soon :)
[11:02] <Hasrat_Usa> long live 6.10 :)
[11:02] <Vlet> hah :)
[11:02] <eat_books> hey everyone. sorry for the stupid question, but can anyone tell me how to get to my icons folder, please?
[11:02] <Hasrat_Usa> GNOME forever!
[11:02] <mwe> geek-wannabe: and squashfs is the mount point?
[11:02] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: no, didn't see those. Is that what you have?
[11:02] <bigjohntoday> does ubuntu use smp kernels as well?
[11:03] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Yeah. I was following the other directions and it was like "ATI Chipset Detected" :-P
[11:03] <Hasrat_Usa> bigjohntoday yes
[11:03] <mwe> geek-wannabe: you need to specify a proper mount point
[11:03] <Xanatus> do ifconfig -a, see what interface is the wireless card, then do ifconfig <interface> up, then do iwconfig, see if it went up, then go to your router, see what channel it's broadcasting on, or else do iwlist <interface> scan to see the channel, then do iwconfig <interface> channel <channel of the router>, then give it a few seconds like ten seconds, then do dhclient <interface>
[11:03] <Xanatus> see if that makes the wireless work... if not let me know
[11:03] <bigjohntoday> if so i am using kernel version 2.6.17-10 what would the smp of that be? i know smp is used for multi cpu support
[11:03] <geek-wannabe> mwe: I think so. the previous step was mkdir squashfs
[11:03] <TheMonkeyMoo> bigjohntoday, Ubuntu uses a generic kernel that obsoletes the SMP kernel. at least that's what it installed on my centrino duo
[11:03] <soundray> eat_books: do you mean /usr/share/pixmaps
[11:03] <SamePaul> soundray: but there is no Intel 2200BG
[11:03] <soundray> bigjohntoday: 2.6.17 has SMP by default
[11:03] <bigjohntoday> themonkey: that what in the world is causing my system not to load?
[11:03] <mwe> geek-wannabe: hmm.
[11:03] <eat_books> soundray, i have no idea what i mean. i'm a newb. thanks, i will check this out
[11:04] <TheMonkeyMoo> bigjohn, I don't know
[11:04] <Xanatus> SamePaul i believe in that cause you would have a driver that's called ipw2200
[11:04] <mwe> geek-wannabe: ls, though. check the existense of the file as well
[11:04] <bigjohntoday> i wish i did lol, it eisther goes into a "panic mode" or into busybox mode never loads!
[11:04] <soundray> SamePaul: see if the driver is loaded: 'lsmod | grep ipw2200'
[11:04] <SamePaul> Xanatus: I tried it. Can't compile it :(
[11:04] <tehxed> Xanatus, AIM?
[11:04] <soundray> SamePaul: you don't have to compile. Ubuntu comes with that driver.
[11:05] <Xanatus> net died again
[11:05] <eat_books> soundray, it worked! thanks!
[11:05] <Xanatus> arg
[11:05] <techie1> Can anybody comment? I tried installing my ubuntu 6.10 in a double boot with windows xp. After the first couple of install questions, country, region, it stopped? Should I have partitioned some space first for Ubuntu? I thought Ubuntu would automatically 50/50 partitioned the empty space with the other os?
[11:05] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: Actually I found it.
[11:05] <TheMonkeyMoo> bigjohn, although I'm actually using 2.17.11 generic
[11:05] <kharloss> i guess i was hacked
[11:05] <davidgw7> i had a problem with 6.10 64 bit not wanting to load on my system even dapper loaded fine so i went to the i 386 wersion
[11:05] <Xanatus> SamePaul, did you try what i just said ?
[11:05] <kharloss>  i found on my webserver a folder
[11:05] <kharloss> what ca ni do now ?
[11:06] <StoneNote> SamePaul, this didn't work? http://www.debuntu.org/2006/03/27/9-how-to-ipw2200-getting-intel-pro-wireless-2200-bg-to-work-on-debian-ubuntu
[11:06] <soundray> techie1: it should have offered you to partition at that point. Have you got enough memory?
[11:06] <chiefbearclaw> http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2369893842637434537&q=installing+ubuntu  -  dual booting video.
[11:06] <kharloss> a folder named munin
[11:06] <kharloss> http://munin.projects.linpro.no/
[11:06] <kharloss> here is a link
[11:06] <bigjohntoday> themonkey: what version of ubuntu?
[11:06] <Xanatus> sorry
[11:06] <Xanatus> back
[11:06] <kharloss> why a hacker did instaled this on my server ?
[11:06] <TheMonkeyMoo> bigjohn 6.10
[11:06] <geek-wannabe> mwe: yes, ls shows the dir squashfs. Also, the ISO is loop mounted in mnt, and the filesystem.squashfs file is in there
[11:06] <Xanatus> SamePaul did you try the steps i sad a while ago ?
[11:06] <SamePaul> soundray: driver is not loaded. lsmod does not list it
[11:07] <Xanatus> ah
[11:07] <Xanatus> then that's a problem
[11:07] <Xanatus> but SamePaul, what do you get in ifconfig -a ?
[11:07] <bigjohntoday> hmm..... i feel like drop kicking this pc
[11:07] <SamePaul> Xanatus: I don't have driver installed. Otherwise it would be simpler :)
[11:08] <soundray> SamePaul: which version of ubuntu do you have?
[11:08] <bigz> hey anyone know how i would go about mounting a few folder within vmware to share in ubuntu?...
[11:08] <SamePaul> Xanatus: lo eth0 sit0
[11:08] <Senderbasic> StoneNote: From all of us to all of you, for this great contribution we thank you (thanks!)
[11:08] <SamePaul> soundray: 6.10
[11:08] <StoneNote> Senderbasic, send money
[11:09] <soundray> bigz: the reason you don't get any responses is that your question is confusing. Try to say what you want to do without using the words "mounting" and "share".
[11:09] <ianmcorvidae> ok, so attempting to fix an unrelated problem, I seem to have broken dpkg and apt-get. When I try to run anything with apt, it tells me to run dpkg --configure -a to fix it, but that hangs after informing me "invoke-rc.d: initscript mysql, action "start" failed".
[11:09] <Senderbasic> StoneNote: Send me some first :)
[11:09] <dick_> I have a kodak c875 and am having problems mounting it cause i can't find any drivers that support it. anyone have any ideas
[11:09] <davidgw7> has any one had problems with the 6.10 64 bit version not running the live cd just get a grey distorted ubuntu load slpash but the system just sits there ?
[11:09] <Xanatus> SamePaul
[11:09] <Xanatus> this should solve your problem
[11:09] <Xanatus> http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Install_ipw2200
[11:09] <Senderbasic> StoneNote: ive gotten 20 Swedish crowners for my work so i guess its worth alot / Joking :)
[11:10] <tehxed> So...
[11:10] <soundray> SamePaul: 'locate ipw2200.ko' should show you that the driver module is in fact present on your system. No need to compile.
[11:10] <Senderbasic> Stone: thats the stuff youll find at www.gadmintools.org
[11:10] <tehxed> Anyone know of a problem with the sound working on and off?
[11:10] <Xanatus> i'm googling it tehxed
[11:10] <webmaren> what is xfree86-dri
[11:10] <webmaren> beryl won't work without it
[11:10] <fxfitz> geek-wannabe: I got it to work! Thank you! I found a site where it gave me like four commands to type and it worked great.
[11:10] <tehxed> I have a Gateway MX7118 Laptop, with Ubuntu Edgy 6.10 installed.
[11:10] <tehxed> Xanatus, thanks!
[11:10] <confrey> hi everybody
[11:10] <geek-wannabe> mwe: fyi, I'm following the wiki at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization/6%2e06
[11:11] <StoneNote> Senderbasic, I'm impressed to no ends
[11:11] <Senderbasic> Stone: can be a pain when servers obsolete options so youll have to seamlessly change those for thousands of hosts ;)
[11:11] <geek-wannabe> fxfitz: great!
[11:11] <SamePaul> soundray: where it is supposed to be? :)
[11:11] <Senderbasic> StoneNote: i know you arent but thanks anyway
[11:11] <dick_> I have a kodak c875 and am having problems mounting it cause i can't find any drivers that support it. anyone have any ideas
[11:12] <dyrne> tehxed: not a solution but if you cant fix it feisty does come out in april..  its pretty stable i havent run into problems (have it on laptop and desktop/server)
[11:12] <confrey> I've installed edgy from alternate cd, as server system; I can't use wifi pcmcia, the same hardware works on ubuntu installed as desktop, what can I do?
[11:12] <soundray> SamePaul: now run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog &' and do a 'sudo modprobe ipw2200' (ideally in another terminal)
[11:12] <Pelo> !restricted
[11:12] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[11:12] <SamePaul> Xanatus: I tried something very close. But 'make' of ipw2200 fails. It says that can't find "ieee80211.h'
[11:12] <tehxed> what's fiesty?
[11:12] <dyrne> tehxed: ubuntu 7.04
[11:12] <tehxed> dyrne, it's odd. it works only now and then. at random
[11:13] <SamePaul> soundray: one moment
[11:13] <soundray> SamePaul: if you get any error messages, try to make sense of them yourself or put them on the pastebin
[11:13] <tehxed> dyrne, where do i get ubuntu 7.04
[11:13] <soundray> !feisty | tehxed
[11:13] <Xanatus> SamePaul then you probably need to install iee80211
[11:13] <ubotu> tehxed: 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] <bigjohntoday> one more question could it be an issue of the drive is on sata and my DVD rom is on primary master (could this be causing my ubuntu system not to load?>)
[11:13] <Senderbasic> StoneNote: You will be, you will be as the mighty jojodyne said :) .. We are making bindings that will seamlessly just bind :)
[11:13] <Xanatus> SamePaul if you read the whole thing you will see that you will be installing ieee82011 through the tutorial
[11:13] <StoneNote> tehxed, a young lady I know is feisty, and it's also the version of ubutnu they are working on. see #ubuntu+1
[11:13] <Jordan_U> I think that the xubuntu iso is currupt, I have downloaded it, burned it, and md5 summed it many times and it still ALWAYS boots with the error "invalid or currupt kernel"
[11:14] <soundray> Xanatus: please don't confuse while he's trying to load the stock kernel driver.
[11:14] <tehxed> I have a Gateway MX7118 Laptop, with Ubuntu Edgy 6.10 installed. The problem is that the sound is in and out. If I restart it goes out. If I restart again, it comes back... only sometimes.
[11:14] <dick_> i thought ubuntu 6.10 was the newest
[11:14] <tehxed> StoneNote, Sweet
[11:14] <blaze> Hey all.
[11:14] <soundray> dick_: it is
[11:14] <TwoPints> I stupidly interrupted apt-get in the middle of an installation. How can remove I the lock and restore apt-get's functionality?
[11:14] <soundray> Feisty is not released yet. See the topic
[11:14] <Xanatus> soundray: he doesn't have the ipw2200 driver installed and he needs it, without it, doing other stuff won't help much in my opinion
[11:14] <Jordan_U> dick_: It is the newest stable release
[11:14] <dick_> so why are people talking about ubuntu 7
[11:14] <dick_> ahhh
[11:14] <davidgw7> it is the newes stable version
[11:14] <dick_> gotcah
[11:15] <blaze> lol
[11:15] <StoneNote> TwoPints, dpkg --configure -a
[11:15] <davidgw7> beta testers mostly
[11:15] <StoneNote> sudo that
[11:15] <Xanatus> soundray: and that tutorial should get his wireless working regardless of what point he is on as it will set it up from scratch
[11:15] <soundray> Xanatus: ipw2200 is part of stock 6.10. What makes you think that he doesn't have it?
[11:15] <blaze> !iPod
[11:15] <ubotu> For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod
[11:15] <blaze> I <3 ubotu
[11:15] <TwoPints> StoneNote: thanks!
[11:15] <bigjohntoday> !DVI
[11:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dvi - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:15] <blaze> :(
[11:15] <Jordan_U> StoneNote: How will that help TwoPints?
[11:16] <SamePaul> soundray: I have it indeed.
[11:16] <TwoPints> no it didnt work :(
[11:16] <tehxed> Hello?
[11:16] <Senderbasic> StoneNote: is it like this: Server+another server == 2x the risk, server +server+webinterface multiply the risks by about 4-10 ?
[11:16] <tehxed> oh,sorry
[11:16] <Xanatus> (05:07:45 PM) SamePaul: Xanatus: I don't have driver installed. Otherwise it would be simpler :)
[11:16] <dick_> can some one level with me, Is there anything i can do for my kodak easy share c875 since i can't find any drivers to mount it, or am i just screwed?
[11:16] <SamePaul> soundray: it does not looks like it have serious hw problem.
[11:16] <Xanatus> that makes me think he doesn't have the driver..
[11:16] <Xanatus> his own words ?
[11:17] <SamePaul> Xanatus: I didn't know it then :)
[11:17] <bigjohntoday> again does ubuntu have an issue being installed on SATA when the primary master IDE is the DVD? could this cause the system not to load?
[11:17] <Jordan_U> TwoPints: You need to delete the file /etc/dpkg/lock ( I think that is the correct path ) if you are SURE no other program is running that would have a lock.
[11:17] <StoneNote> TwoPints, sorry. I thought that's what I did when I lost power during an apt-get upgrade
[11:17] <TheMonkeyMoo> bigjohn, that I do not know. I have it installed on a SATA HDD in a dual boot configuration with XP media center edition (on two separate drives). it is in a laptop so I assume that the DVD drive ( only IDE device in the machine) is master on its own chain.
[11:17] <Xanatus> all i know is that that tutorial seems rather simple and straighfoward, and trying to patch the problem seems rather complicated...
[11:17] <soundray> Xanatus: always interpret what you read
[11:17] <dick_> I guess since noone is answering i take it, that there is nothing that can be done to mount my camra
[11:17] <Xanatus> i'd normally go the easy way
[11:18] <bigjohntoday> is SATA represented by HD0 or sda or what?
[11:18] <TheMonkeyMoo> sda
[11:18] <SamePaul> soundray: "can't create /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.eth0.leases: Permission denied"
[11:18] <Senderbasic> StoneNote: Hence cli is the safest way not utilizing an sshd but cofiguring it locally, ssh -XC -l into a remote server not running X and adminning Xapps is as secure as running x on the local server
[11:18] <hdibani> hi, iam running edgy, my network-manager does not show me any wireless connections anymore, all i see is wired network.
[11:18] <gop> vmware everytime I reboot    Virtual ethernet                                                   failed
[11:18] <dsquare> help~~ when i try to start a terminal nothing happens! please help?
[11:18] <soundray> SamePaul: that's a different issue. Let's leave that for now.
[11:18] <Xanatus> proof of it is that if you were following the tutorial you'd probably have finished it by now...
[11:18] <SamePaul> soundray: alright. What now?
[11:19] <soundray> SamePaul: open System-Admin-Networking and see if you have a new interface
[11:19] <bigjohntoday> grub shows                            root(hd0,0)  ..nextline.... kernel /boot/vmlinuz....... root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet splash ..... so on so forth
[11:19] <StoneNote> Senderbasic, are you just putting my nick in front of random thoughts as they occur to you?
[11:19] <bigjohntoday> so for the root (hd0,0) should that be changed?
[11:19] <soundray> Xanatus: can we agree that I have my turn now, and if it doesn't work, then it'll be yours?
[11:20] <SamePaul> soundray: Nope. Wired, MOdem - that's all
[11:20] <TwoPints> StoneNote: Jordan_U: thanks, i still had a few apt and dpkg processes running, which I killed. now it works
[11:20] <Xanatus> soundray: i'm not worried about turns... i already posted the tutorial to solve his problem, if he ever wants to follow it, it's up to him
[11:20] <TheMonkeyMoo> bigjohn; I'm not sure. I am still a relative newbie and have not had the pleasure of having to dig through GRUB config files or error messages.
[11:20] <SamePaul> soundray: wait a minute. It wants me to restart after update
[11:21] <solarce> Xanatus will lead you to do the darkside with his reading of howtos and guides
[11:21] <bigjohntoday> I am the point where I feel that windows is the only os that is going to work with the system but I am trying to avoid windows at all costs......
[11:21] <Senderbasic> StoneNote: No, i guess it was a reply from someone just after you told em howto... slight mixup it seems
[11:21] <solarce> the light side is about bugging people in irc until they die of brain anuerisms from fustration
[11:21] <solarce> +r
[11:22] <Senderbasic> Sorry StoneNote, mixup
[11:22] <hdibani> can somebody help please, network-manager show no wireless, iwlist shows me available networks so i guess the wifi card works
[11:22] <Xanatus> lol solarce
[11:22] <geek-wannabe> I'm trying to customize Ubuntu Live 6.10. When I try to loop mount the stock squashfs, I'm getting an error "mount: not a directory" - but I'm pretty sure the directory exists. Any ideas? I'm following the wiki at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization/6%2e06 and this is the "Extracting the Desktop system" step. These instructions are for the 6.06 iso, not sure if that's an issue.
[11:22] <SamePaul> Xanatus, soundray:  It's not an issue :) I copied link to browser. If soundray will not succeed I'll try tutorial
[11:23] <madd_matt> geek-wannabe, not a directory indicates its a file?  Perhaps you did "touch" instead of "mkdir"?
[11:23] <Xanatus> i just care that your wireless works
[11:23] <bigjohntoday> Here is a question who here really think they are a ubuntu/linux guru? honestly
[11:23] <acid_phyre> hello everyone i am wondering how u would go on running a irc server hybrid on kubuntu
[11:23] <Xanatus> not who goes about doing it....
[11:23] <Senderbasic> StoneNote: i have said im sorry 1 or 2 times in about 18 years, so thats gonna count i hope :)
[11:23] <aSt3raL> wow the new feisty updates hosed my system
[11:23] <SamePaul> Xanatus: I know. And I appreciate it. Really
[11:23] <geek-wannabe> madd_matt: did mkdir, which is why I'm confused
[11:23] <solarce> bigjohntoday: everyone who is one
[11:23] <aSt3raL> i installed the updates for feisty and i can see no windows
[11:23] <mwe> geek-wannabe: spelled it correctly both times and in lower case?
[11:24] <nutterpc> bigjohntoday: linux can be made to work on any system, all you need is patience
[11:24] <Senderbasic> bigjohntoday: Gogogo!
[11:24] <tehxed> I have a Gateway MX7118 Laptop, with Ubuntu Edgy 6.10 installed. The problem is that the sound is in and out. If I restart it goes out. If I restart again, it comes back... only sometimes.
[11:24] <solarce> aSt3raL: isn't the the point of installing linux?
[11:24] <StoneNote> Senderbasic, np.  just doing a reality check. :)
[11:24] <yell0w> bigjohntoday, what do you want to do ?
[11:24] <bigjohntoday> I have googled the life out of this error
[11:24] <colbert> Hello, can someone point me to the Ubuntu Wiki that shows how to restore GRUB after a Windows installation???
[11:24] <geek-wannabe> mwe: yes, checked it carefully.
[11:24] <StoneNote> and I didn't fail by too much
[11:24] <soundray> Xanatus: still, we should coordinate our efforts so my suggestions don't defeat yours and vice versa.
[11:24] <aSt3raL> solarce:  what?
[11:24] <nutterpc> bigjohntoday: what error
[11:24] <Senderbasic> StoneNote: Am i awesome, yes... can i be beaten, yes.. can you do it.. no ;)
[11:24] <acid_phyre> does anyone know how to run a irc server in hybrid with ubuntu?
[11:24] <mwe> geek-wannabe: can you cd squashfs?
[11:25] <gnomefreak> Senderbasic: join #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:25] <soundray> aSt3raL: please ask feisty questions in #ubuntu+1
[11:25] <geek-wannabe> mwe: yes, just did it, worked
[11:25] <mwe> geek-wannabe: odd
[11:25] <bigjohntoday> the error is /bin/sh can't access tty; job contorl turned off
[11:25] <DemisM> how can I get my memorystick to read?
[11:25] <SamePaul> soundray: Driver 'ipw2200' needs updating - plkease use bus_type methods
[11:25] <Skrot> Anyone running a LUKS-encrypted root around?
[11:25] <solarce> Xanatus: they should award you beer credits for helping in here
[11:25] <geek-wannabe> mwe: I know. 6.06 vs. 6.10 - should be OK right?
[11:25] <DemisM> or how can I read from my memory stick?
[11:26] <solarce> I should talk to jono about that
[11:26] <soundray> SamePaul: okay, I think it's time to try Xanatus' way
[11:26] <nutterpc> bigjohntoday: you sure you ain't got something turned off in the kernel, that seems like a kernel issue
[11:26] <Senderbasic>  don't tug on supermans cape, don't spit into the wind
 True that, i never do without the eye in irony
[11:26] <SamePaul> soundray: :) damned
[11:26] <geek-wannabe> mwe: the wiki is for the 6.06 iso, my iso is 6.10.....
[11:26] <soundray> SamePaul: hope you get it running. I have to be off
[11:26] <bigjohntoday> I am sure, what i do know is that i am runninga  matrox g550 dual dvi card
[11:26] <soundray> see you all
[11:27] <SamePaul> soundray: thanks. see you
[11:27] <mwe> geek-wannabe: well still you should think it would mount a squashfs unless it's related to the version of squashfs
[11:27] <bigjohntoday> and I am sure that is causing all the problems, but how i fix it .... i dont know
[11:27] <Arafangion> Does the ubuntu installer allow me to resize my disk?
[11:27] <geek-wannabe> mwe: good point....
[11:27] <Arafangion> My disk partitions that is.  They're in fat32, I'm guessing that it will be better to convert them to NTFS *after* resizing?
[11:27] <blaze> Arafangion,  yes
[11:28] <nutterpc> bigjohntoday: its not not fixable
[11:28] <mwe> geek-wannabe: I think it's picky
[11:28] <geek-wannabe> mwe: maybe I should boot using the live CD and try it?
[11:28] <colbert> Hello, can someone point me to the Ubuntu Wiki that shows how to restore GRUB after a Windows installation???
[11:28] <Komodor> My friend tried to install ubuntu 6.10, and it took him into DOS after booting from the CD (I had him configure his BIOS to boot from his CD drive first) are there any solutions?
[11:28] <bigjohntoday> ok so if it is not fixable then I assume that i cannot use ubuntu on this box?
[11:28] <mudpark> anyone know how to get the latest version of Beryl working with XGL?
[11:28] <Arafangion> blaze: Thanks.  Had to wipe my system and reinstall windows just to play ONE crap game (for uni) :(
[11:28] <nutterpc> bigjohntoday: it meant that there is a way it could be fixed
[11:28] <blaze> yeah that sucks, you should be fine tho,
[11:28] <gnomefreak> mudpark: join #ubuntu-effects for beryl help please
[11:29] <ashrok> @colbert i installed windows first then ubuntu.otherway i couldnt do it :)
[11:29] <geek-wannabe> madd_matt: any other ideas?
[11:29] <Squee> Is there any way to enumerate samba shares and rights on linux?
[11:29] <mwe> geek-wannabe: does the live cd have squashfs?
[11:29] <Arafangion> Squee: What do you mean by "enumerate"?
[11:29] <madd_matt> geek-wannabe, try cd to the directory, see what happens?
[11:29] <Arafangion> ashrok: The other way needs some grub tricks. ;)
[11:29] <aSt3raL> how can i change the window manager from command line?
[11:29] <Squee> Arafangion, look up what shares are available for me to write to and read from
[11:29] <bigjohntoday> well i googled that error to death... but i can't find an answer
[11:29] <geek-wannabe> madd_matt: yes, cd works
[11:29] <ashrok> must be so :)
[11:30] <geek-wannabe> mwe: yes
[11:30] <madd_matt> geek-wannabe, then its something else.  No clue ;)
[11:30] <mwe> geek-wannabe: well you could try
[11:30] <geek-wannabe> madd_matt: thanks anyway
[11:30] <mwe> geek-wannabe: it's my best guess but I don't know
[11:30] <geek-wannabe> mwe: thanks
[11:30] <rhys> ok anyone who knows where the network-managers default WPA supplicant file is?
[11:30] <Arafangion> Squee: I've never needed to do so - not for a long time, but you could try: smbclient -L computername
[11:30] <redbox> Squee: smbclient -L hostip
[11:31] <cafuego_> rhys: it doesn't have one
[11:31] <Squee> Arafangion: Yea, but I need to do it for about 70 - 100 computers
[11:31] <Arafangion> redbox: -L isn't by ip.
[11:31] <allan_> hello
[11:31] <redbox> Arafangion: you sure?
[11:31] <rhys> cafuego_ then could you tell me how i can make it use a different wpa_supplicant driver ?
[11:31] <cafuego_> rhys: networkmanager stores stuff in the gconf database i think,
[11:31] <Arafangion> Squee: Try looking for an smb browser or something, try apt-cache browse | grep smb or something
[11:31] <allan_> can someone help me set up apache
[11:31] <allan_> please
[11:31] <Arafangion> redbox: Check the man page :)
[11:31] <rhys> im guessing that by default it uses wext driver. it needs to use something else
[11:31] <mwe> allan_: sudo aptitude install apache2
[11:32] <fb_> hello! I'm a newcomer , would like some help on my xubuntu
[11:32] <rhys> gconf ? right then
[11:32] <allan_> ok
[11:32] <redbox> Arafangion: ip works for me
[11:32] <mwe> allan_: then browse to localhost
[11:32] <allan_> but how do i set it up
[11:32] <cafuego_> rhys: Hmmm, good question. Not sure.
[11:32] <allan_> what command can i do to find the local host
[11:32] <Arafangion> redbox: Perhaps it /also/ works.
[11:32] <cafuego_> allan_: You edit files in /etc/apache2/*
[11:32] <redbox> Arafangion: then what is your point :)
[11:32] <mwe> allan_: firefox localhost
[11:32] <allan_> ?
[11:32] <Arafangion> redbox: Correctness. :)
[11:32] <mwe> allan_: installing it will set up defaults and start apache
[11:32] <Arafangion> redbox: Which, when you're a programmer, is critically important :)
[11:33] <nicolah> anyone here works with .crw files ? (raw canon)
[11:33] <allan_> ok when i start it from command liine how do i find it on the web
[11:33] <allan_> what is the addres
[11:33] <mwe> allan_: typing firefox localhost will open localhost. type that, litterally
[11:33] <ianmcorvidae> ok, I'm back with a mysql problem. I've got it installed and supposedly running; mysql -u root -p brings me to a prompt, and gem install mysql completed sucessfully; however, when I attempt to rake db:migrate, it tells me "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)". What's going on and how do I fix it?
[11:33] <anton> how do i run everything in cups as root?
[11:33] <anton> i provide cupsd.conf with User root option but i am told in /var/log/cups/error_log that it is insecure :\
[11:33] <anton> how do i force it to obey? :S
[11:33] <StoneNote> allan_, localhost is another way of saying 127.0.0.1 aka your loopback address. leave it to computer geeks to come up with three ways to say the same thing (watch someone point out there are two others I missed)
[11:33] <nutterpc> robert timms premium freeze dried coffee = nectar of the gods
[11:33] <Skrot> How can I find out exactly which module is used by my S-ATA controller?
[11:33] <aSt3raL> how do i change the gnome window manager from a command line?
[11:34] <Arafangion> StoneNote: 127.0.0.2
[11:34] <allan_> so tell me if this is correct htp://202.124.342.org or what
[11:34] <allan_> that an example
[11:34] <Arafangion> StoneNote: THough, not by wide convention ;)
[11:34] <cafuego_> 127.0.1.1
[11:34] <mwe> huh. localhost is 127.0.0.1 here
[11:35] <StoneNote> I went to a wide convention once for Big Buttz Magazine.
[11:35] <SamePaul> Xanatus: actually I have problem already at remove_old stage
[11:35] <redbox> Arafangion: from the man page: You use it as smbclient -L host and a list should appear -- though the synopsis shows -L [netbios name]  .. *shrug*
[11:35] <mwe> 127.0.1.1 is freja, the hostname
[11:35] <Arafangion> redbox: Indeed.
[11:35] <ianmcorvidae> anyone with mysql help?
[11:35] <StoneNote> ianmcorvidae, ask and see
[11:35] <ianmcorvidae> I did, heh
[11:35] <ianmcorvidae> ok, I'm back with a mysql problem. I've got it installed and supposedly running; mysql -u root -p brings me to a prompt, and gem install mysql completed sucessfully; however, when I attempt to rake db:migrate, it tells me "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)". What's going on and how do I fix it?
[11:35] <Arafangion> StoneNote: He did, 2 seconds ago.
[11:35] <ianmcorvidae> heh.
[11:35] <StoneNote> I missed it
[11:36] <allan_> ?
[11:36] <Arafangion> ianmcorvidae: Well, does /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock exist?
[11:36] <mwe> ianmcorvidae: did you start the server?
[11:36] <ianmcorvidae> it does not.
[11:36] <ianmcorvidae> it is started.
[11:36] <redbox> ianmcorvidae: usually thats along the lines of mysqld not running
[11:37] <mwe> ianmcorvidae: how did you start it?
[11:37] <ianmcorvidae> I've got mysqld_safe and mysqld running.
[11:37] <redbox> ianmcorvidae: ps aux | grep mysql show it?
[11:37] <{Nathan}> when I try to access System -> Admin -> Services, I enter my password and get the error message "You are not allowed to access the system configuration." Any ideas as to how to fix this? I also get this when I access Shared Folders, etc
[11:37] <ianmcorvidae> it started automatically upon my apt-get install.
[11:37] <mwe> ianmcorvidae: I'd sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart
[11:37] <Arafangion> ianmcorvidae: What do the logs say?
[11:38] <ianmcorvidae> uh. which logs?
[11:38] <bigjohntoday> ok has anyone used busybox command line
[11:38] <ianmcorvidae> /var/log?
[11:38] <mwe> ianmcorvidae: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart should throw an error if it can't start i think
[11:38] <kane77> how can I paste a wikibook contents into openoffice that it wouldnt display the parts that are marked as nonprint in css??
[11:38] <th_> inux
[11:38] <th_> sorry
[11:38] <Wrongway> hey, I'm trying to follow along with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/iPodVideoEncoding but am getting some errors. can someone help me?
[11:38] <ianmcorvidae> mwe: it sure does throw an error.
[11:39] <th_> kane77, I guess you are better off importing it rather than pasting??
[11:39] <mwe> ianmcorvidae: what error?
[11:39] <kane77> th_, well but it still displays the [edit]  links and all the stuff...
[11:39] <Xzenome> Wrongway, join #ubuntu-classroom and I'll try to help you.
[11:39] <ianmcorvidae> it stops it, but simply gives me "* Starting MySQL database server mysqld   [fail] "
[11:40] <blaze> Hello again.
[11:40] <ianmcorvidae> and then brings me back to bash
[11:40] <mwe> ianmcorvidae: sudo killall all the daemons and retry /etc/init.d/mysql restart. if it still doesn't work check /var/log/mysql.err
[11:40] <DjBrix> Hi guys me again
[11:40] <DjBrix> I need some help
[11:41] <ernz> Hi - Can I get Ubuntu help in here?
[11:41] <mwe> !helpme
[11:41] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:41] <ianmcorvidae> sudo killall said 'no process killed' for both.
[11:41] <mwe> huh
[11:41] <mwe> but ps says it's running
[11:41] <mwe> check the log file
[11:41] <ianmcorvidae> ps does indeed say it's running
[11:41] <AlexFicelle> Hi guys! I'm installing Ubuntu for my brother. He needs a password-protected account per person (no problem), but he also would like to have a password-less account that guests could use, just by clicking its picture in GDM. Is that possible?
[11:41] <mwe> killall -9 them
[11:41] <mwe> and check the log file
[11:41] <DjBrix> I instaled linux as a server and it has internet via i.c.s. from windows, and i want people over net to access the linux
[11:42] <th_> AlexFicelle, it is possible at least if you use KDM I am not sure about GDM

[11:42] <ernz> OK, I have seen this problem twice now. all I want to do is add some programs to the startup programs list in Sessions, but every time I try a new entry isn't saved. HELP! :)
[11:42] <imbecile> nope
[11:42] <imbecile> hehe
[11:42] <th_> of course it is very insecure if the computer is in a public place.
[11:42] <ianmcorvidae> there is not a single thing in /var/log/mysql.err.
[11:42] <ianmcorvidae> it's an empty file
[11:42] <AlexFicelle> th_: OK. How do you do that in KDM?
[11:42] <ianmcorvidae> likewise mysql.log
[11:42] <th_> AlexFicelle, just create a user with an empty password (just press Enter for the password)
[11:42] <mwe> odd
[11:43] <techie1> Hello all. Can anybody help? I am trying to install Ubuntu 6.10 into a computer already with windows xp.
[11:43] <th_> techie1, that should be easy
[11:43] <mwe> ianmcorvidae: sudo killall -9 the persistant processes
[11:43] <AlexFicelle> th_: I can't do that. He won't allow an account without a password.
[11:43] <DjBrix> I instaled linux as a server and it has internet via i.c.s. from windows, and i want people over net to access the linux
[11:43] <th_> just use the resize option ofthe installer
[11:43] <ianmcorvidae> ok
[11:43] <th_> AlexFicelle, I thought you wanted him to log in without a password?
[11:43] <ianmcorvidae> once again, 'no process killed'
[11:43] <th_> just disable remote access to the box.
[11:43] <mwe> ianmcorvidae: what did you type?
[11:43] <AlexFicelle> th_: Yes, but I can't create an account without a password.
[11:43] <th_> ssh won't let users login from remote who don't; have a password
[11:43] <ianmcorvidae> sudo killall -9 6800 7001
[11:43] <Alocacoc> techie1: Help with what exactly? Ubuntu should detect the Windows installation and add it to the GRUB bootloader at the end of the process.
[11:43] <mwe> ianmcorvidae: don't
[11:44] <colbert> !grub
[11:44] <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
[11:44] <oggy> anyone have automatix2 url

[11:44] <AMD-> can ony one help me with my Super_L key it wont work
[11:44] <foxiness> hi , is it safe to use gparted to re-size ntfs partition ?
[11:44] <mwe> ianmcorvidae: sudo kill process id or sudo killall process name
[11:44] <AlexFicelle> th_: That account is going to be way underprivildged. Just for guest, no rights.
[11:44] <mwe> !automatix
the installer asks 6 questions, so after language and region will it automatically partitioned 50/50 for windows xp and ubuntu? Or do I have to use the system rescue and do it manually?
[11:44] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[11:45] <Besnik> hello, can somebody tell me where grub.conf lays under ubuntu?
[11:45] <oggy> !WorksforMe
[11:45] <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.
[11:45] <ianmcorvidae> just do the processes individually?
[11:45] <Alocacoc> Believe it gives the option for you to manually edit he partition table yourself.
[11:45] <AlexFicelle> Besnik: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:45] <DjBrix> i have windows connected to the net and sharing it to linux, linux has apache how can people acces port 80 on linux?
[11:45] <th_> techie1, then edit /etc/shadow and make the password an empty field
[11:45] <oggy> does anyone know where I can get automatix
[11:45] <th_> nothing between the ::'s
[11:45] <Besnik> AlexFicelle, thanx
[11:45] <Alocacoc> the* // xChat... oh you beast.
[11:45] <mwe> ianmcorvidae: you cannot killall a numeric id. that's what kill is for. killall is for the _name_
[11:45] <ianmcorvidae> ok, mysqld and mysqld_safe are dead now
[11:45] <ianmcorvidae> ah, ok
[11:45] <ernz> This problem is really busting my chops now and I would greatly appreciate any input someone can offer.
[11:46] <DjBrix> oggy i think it is apt-get automatix
[11:46] <damiles> join #blendercoders
[11:46] <oggy> thanks
[11:46] <ianmcorvidae> they're gone now, what should I try
[11:46] <DjBrix> oggy i think it is apt-get install automatix
[11:46] <AlexFicelle> th_: Is this for me? Can I just edit /etc/shadow and delete the hash of the password? That's so easy??
[11:46] <SamePaul> ok. I have IPW2200 loaded. But still no wlan0! Any ideas?
[11:46] <mwe> ianmcorvidae: try sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start again
[11:46] <th_> AlexFicelle, I didnt see your question so I am not sure..
[11:46] <Alocacoc> DjBrix: Automatix is on the main repos nowadays?
[11:46] <DjBrix> i have windows connected to the net and sharing it to linux, linux has apache how can people acces port 80 on linux?
[11:46] <Arafangion> ernz: That's because they're not "startup programs"
[11:46] <AlexFicelle> th_: That was about having a user without a password.
[11:46] <techie1> th, i think I got confuse with your editing the "shadow" or were you talking to somebody else?
[11:46] <Arafangion> ernz: They are _sessons_.
[11:47] <th_> AlexFicelle, yeah that should be all
[11:47] <Arafangion> *sessions*
[11:47] <oggy> is on the repos
[11:47] <oggy> ?
[11:47] <SamePaul> Xanatus: Are you alive? :)
[11:47] <oggy> is there a url
[11:47] <ianmcorvidae> precisely the same thing; [fail]  after telling me
[11:47] <oggy> ?
[11:47] <techie1> I thought Ubuntu will automatically give me 50/50 of free space from the previous os?
[11:47] <ianmcorvidae> is there something like --verbose for that?
[11:47] <DjBrix> i have windows connected to the net and sharing it to linux, linux has apache how can people acces port 80 on linux?
[11:47] <mwe> DjBrix: open a browser and type the ip or hostname
[11:47] <mwe> !repeat | DjBrix
[11:47] <ubotu> DjBrix: 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
[11:48] <DjBrix> mwe it works for me but not for you and others?
[11:48] <royel> AlexFicelle: I think I seen a Howto on howtoforge about creating a ssh enabled account that uses a keygen to login without password.. of course most commands are disabled .. you might want to check it for some ideas on what your looking to do. http://howtoforge.com/nfs_ssh_tunneling
[11:48] <ernz> Arafangion: Nice trying to be cute, but check it out System > Preferences > Sessions > Startup Programs. And then......?
[11:48] <mwe> DjBrix: you mean from the outside?
[11:48] <DjBrix> yes~
[11:48] <oggy> :(
[11:48] <mwe> DjBrix: you probably need to forward the port from your router
[11:48] <LinTux> I installed KDE via sudo apt-get and I cannot find the option to change the screen res, I had it before, any ideas
[11:48] <DjBrix> i dont have router
[11:48] <DjBrix> im on ics via window
[11:48] <AlexFicelle> royel: I don't need SSH access. I just need it to be able to log in locally, from GDM.
[11:49] <Arafangion> ernz: There's a few differences in terminology between the old timers who use linux and the new timers.  I've actually never used that menu there!
[11:49] <mwe> DjBrix: also some ISPs block port 80 from the outside
[11:49] <AlexFicelle> royel: It just needs to be able to open Firefox and browse the web, that's all...
[11:49] <DjBrix> yes but mine does not
[11:49] <mwe> DjBrix: firewall?
[11:49] <DjBrix> i had it in windows and it worked
[11:49] <DjBrix> firewall is off
[11:49] <ernz> Arafangion: Apology accepted. So are you able to offer some insight, old-timer?
[11:49] <royel> AlexFicelle: sorry, I misunderstood then.. my bad
[11:50] <mwe> DjBrix: how would it know what computer to connect to?
[11:50] <mwe> DjBrix: what's your network setup?
[11:50] <DjBrix> exactlu that is what im asking
[11:50] <AlexFicelle> royel: No problem. I'll try th_'s trick to remove the password from /etc/shadow. I'll let you guys know how it works out.
[11:50] <mwe> DjBrix: one outside IP?
[11:50] <DjBrix> yes one ip
[11:50] <royel> AlexFicelle: what are you tring to accomplish?
[11:51] <mwe> how many pcs are sharing it?
[11:51] <Arafangion> ernz: Heh, other than to look around for some initialization script, perhaps .xinitrc, I don't really have any suggestions.
[11:51] <Arafangion> ernz: I /always/ use the console, so I put my stuff in .bashrc
[11:51] <Arafangion> ~/.bashrc, that is.
[11:51] <DjBrix> windows is connected to the net, and linux is connected to windows to access net via internet connection sharing, no more pc's
[11:51] <oggy> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_Automatix2_on_Ubuntu.2C_Kubuntu.2C_and_Xubuntu
[11:51] <mwe> DjBrix: that's why it doesn't work
[11:51] <oggy> thanks
[11:51] <DjBrix> and how can i put it to work?
[11:51] <mwe> DjBrix: the connection goes to the windows machine
[11:51] <Arafangion> I have to get going now.
[11:52] <mwe> DjBrix: you need to port forward from the windows machine
[11:52] <Arafangion> Good luck ernz
[11:52] <DjBrix> yes i now how can i pass it to linux
[11:52] <ernz> Arafangion: I tried one of the .xsession files, but that just killed X on boot. Tell me more of this .bashrc. Will it allow me to boot multiple apps on login?
[11:52] <Tatster> Hi. Does anyone know of software that can records screenshot movies and output to flash?
[11:52] <Arafangion> ernz: No, only when you start bash, which is my console shell.
[11:52] <DjBrix> how can i do it?
[11:52] <mwe> DjBrix: advanced firewall settings or something. google it
[11:52] <mwe> DjBrix: go to a windows support channel
[11:53] <DjBrix> okis :)
[11:53] <ernz> Arafangion: Bummer. Can you recommend a guru whomay be able to assist X stylee?
[11:53] <name> which pkg contains "import
[11:53] <SamePaulNB> Why I can't see wlan0 even if driver loaded?
[11:53] <starly> name: imagemagick
[11:53] <AlexFicelle> royel: I need some sort of "guest" account, that friends can use to browse the Internet on my computer when they come over. Ideally, it would just be an account they can click on in GDM without having to provide a password. But I still need to be able to log in with my other accounts from GDM too.
[11:53] <name> starly: tnx
[11:53] <mwe> SamePaulNB: see it? with ifconfig -a?
[11:54] <SamePaulNB> mwe: No! Just with lsmod
[11:54] <AlexFicelle> royel: The thing is that I can't create an account without providing a password.
[11:54] <mwe> SamePaulNB: lsmod doesnt show interfaces
[11:54] <royel> AlexFicelle: you can do that.. just enable a guest account to automatically login.. go to System, Administrations, Login Window, an browse those tabs .. you'll find what you want
[11:54] <mwe> SamePaulNB: only loaded drivers
[11:54] <SamePaulNB> mwe: I know. But previously I didn't have even this :)
[11:54] <vrkhans> hi
[11:54] <mwe> have what?
[11:55] <ianmcorvidae> does anyone know what package creates /etc/mysql/debian-start?
[11:55] <ianmcorvidae> as I appear to be missing it.
[11:55] <SamePaulNB> mwe: driver
[11:55] <oggy> Resolving www.getautomatix.com... 82.165.193.29
[11:55] <oggy> Connecting to www.getautomatix.com|82.165.193.29|:80... failed: Connection refused.
[11:55] <mwe> SamePaulNB: and now it's loaded?
[11:55] <AlexFicelle> royel: Well no, because 99% of the time, I would have to log directly out of that guest account and log back in to my own account. I don't have guests over that often!
[11:55] <SamePaulNB> mwe: At least lsmod shows it
[11:55] <mwe> SamePaulNB: then ifconfig -a and iwconfig
[11:55] <mwe> see if it shows
[11:56] <royel> AlexFicelle: the option exists for a timed login.. so you can click on your user before it logs in the guest account
[11:56] <ernz> OK, I have seen this problem twice now. all I want to do is add some programs to the startup programs list in Sessions, but every time I try a new entry isn't saved. Please HELP! :)
[11:56] <RobinLionheart> Any debian packages of the interactive fiction terp Gargoyle?
[11:56] <SamePaulNB> mwe: they don't. ifconfig does not list and iwconfig can't see wireless extension
[11:56] <StoneNote> Tatster, look at this http://rhosgobel.blogspot.com/2006/11/creating-and-posting-videos-with.html
[11:56] <vrkhans> I am planning to make a dual boot system , and i have 200gb hard drive
[11:56] <mwe> SamePaulNB: then something went wrong. wrong driver maybe
[11:56] <vrkhans> can any one guid me how many and what kind partition i need
[11:57] <mwe> SamePaulNB: check dmesg and /var/log/syslog
[11:57] <RobinLionheart> I'd really like to see that make the Ubuntu repositories sometime
[11:57] <StoneNote> Tatster, another pov is at http://news.softpedia.com/news/Screencast-Guide-Capure-Your-Linux-Desktop-on-Video-42626.shtml
[11:57] <Arafangion> vrkhans: Hmm, 30GB windows, 100 MB /boot, and the remainder for linux? ;)
[11:57] <mwe> SamePaulNB: what driver/card are you using?
[11:57] <RobinLionheart> So I can play the games in the annual interactive fiction competitions
[11:57] <acid_phyre> anyone know how to set up a ircd on ubuntu?
[11:57] <linxeh> is there a realplayer package for ubuntu? I can't see it in any of the main repositories
[11:57] <starly> vrkhans: one swap - double size as your ram and one other (random type - ext or reiserfs) for the filesystem
[11:58] <RobinLionheart> Yeah, there is because Linux Mint installs one
[11:58] <Arafangion> starly: That is nolonger sensible.
[11:58] <Tatster> StoneNote: Thanks for those links.  They look good
[11:58] <mwe> I've got a 40GB drive dedicated for linux. only about 7GB is used
[11:58] <linxeh> RobinLionheart: was that at me?
[11:58] <RobinLionheart> Yes, linx
[11:58] <StoneNote> yw
[11:58] <Arafangion> starly: Some people have 3 GB of RAM, do you advocate a 6 GB swap?
[11:59] <RobinLionheart> Not sure what repository it comes from but it might be in the Canonical commercial software one
[11:59] <linxeh> RobinLionheart: yeah, I know there is realplayer for linux, I just wondered if there is an official package
[11:59] <vrkhans> what i did is i made 20gb for wind 20gb for linux and tow 75 75 gb partion for storage, which i can use for both windows and linux
[11:59] <{Nathan}> when I try to access System -> Admin -> Services, I enter my password and get the error message "You are not allowed to access the system configuration." Any ideas as to how to fix this? I also get this when I access Shared Folders, etc
[11:59] <SnrWhippy> anyone managed to install vmware workstation 6 on edgy?? if they have can they help meeee!!!!
[11:59] <mwe> I have 1GB of ram and 1GB of swap. no swap is ever used
[11:59] <Arafangion> SnrWhippy: Install the VMware Server.
[11:59] <starly> Arafangion: no, but there are also people with ~500MB of ram (like me)
[11:59] <SamePaul> mwe: I use Intel 2200BG. Syslog does not show anything susoisious
[11:59] <SamePaul> suspicious
[11:59] <RobinLionheart> linx: Did you look in ubuntu-commerical?
[11:59] <mwe> SamePaulNB: what driver?
[11:59] <Arafangion> SnrWhippy: Install it into /opt/vmware, then start /opt/vmware/bin/vmware
[12:00] <{Nathan}> Arafangion, the people with 3GB of RAM are Vista users :-p
[12:00] <mwe> SamePaul what driver?
[12:00] <SamePaul> mwe: From sourceforge  http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/
[12:00] <mwe> SamePaul: did you install the firmware?
[12:00] <vrkhans> so what i should do ,
[12:00] <linxeh> RobinLionheart: what is that? I have multiverse and universe enabled
[12:00] <Arafangion> {Nathan}: Not neccessarily - It's called a "budget".
[12:00] <starly> with a Pc capable of Vista i would try beryl
[12:00] <herpez> i need to install ubuntu on acer aspire 1692 but it crashes o X server, so i cant install...
[12:00] <mwe> SamePaul: and lsmod shows ipw2200?
[12:00] <RobinLionheart> linx: deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu edgy-commercial main
[12:00] <SamePaul> mwe: I did exactly as it was written here http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Install_ipw2200
[12:00] <morrolan> Hi, I'm trying to install UFO: Alien Invasion, and I can't because I need libglu1-mesa 6.5.1~20060817, and for some reason the ubuntu repo's have libglu1-mesa 6.5.1cvs+20060824?  Trouble is, I can't uninstall or replace it, because practically every GUI app relies on it.
[12:01] <{Nathan}> starly, Nvidia FX 5100, 1.6ghz CPU, 512 RAM, and I can run beryl just fine
[12:01] <SamePaul> mwe: Yes. And ieee80211
