[12:02] <Bartek> but I don't know what to do with them
[12:02] <woland_> dyrne, try lynx
[12:02] <yomm> hilldu : if you have an nvidia card ,you don't to use xgl
[12:02] <AlexC_> lordmaynoth_: no idea sorry
[12:02] <Bartek> Can you help me please?:)
[12:02] <Jowi> woland_, but appart from that you're probably right :)
[12:02] <osotogari> the drive is FAT32

[12:03] <Bartek> actually the source of reference should do

[12:04] <woland_> yomm, do those mount points not give you magor errors?
[12:04] <kevin> can anyone help me
[12:04] <omegacenti> how would you make iwlist constantly update on a signle screen? maybe I haven't looked thouroughly enough through TFM but, it doesnt seem like it does.
[12:04] <leros> When i run the mouse against the side of the screen on windows, the cursor just stops moving when it gets as far as it can go. When Id o the same in Ubuntu, the cursor kind of bounces off the side of the screen a bit. Anybody know how to turn this off?
[12:04] <Slart> Gesus: edit the file /etc/fstab or do it manually "sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1"
[12:05] <yomm> woland_ : no , they mount fine manually , or using mount -a , just not after reboot
[12:05] <Slart> leros: are you using gnome?
[12:05] <kbd> omegacenti: look into gtkwifi
[12:05] <leros> slart, yah
[12:05] <Slart> leros: weird.. never seen it do that
[12:05] <omegacenti> kbd: thanks :)
[12:05] <leros> slart, well im using beryl, but i tried it gnome and the same thing happened

[12:05] <kbd> you'll have to gab it off of sf.net I think
[12:06] <Slart> leros: sure you haven't installed anything else?
[12:06] <kbd> yeah, it's onsf.net
[12:06] <omegacenti> kbd looks like its just like network manager though.
[12:07] <kevin> hello, I am compiling my kernel and I have notices that nearly everything is loaded as a module, will this slow down my system performance at all?
[12:07] <woland_> yomm, grep your logs' i'm suprised smbclient is available so early in the boot process
[12:07] <Gesus> Slart:  mount: mount point /mnt/hda1 does not exist

[12:08] <xelados> Does anyone know how to get rid of the Trash icon and its functions?
[12:08] <woland_> omegacenti, script it, or use watch(1)

[12:10] <yomm> woland_ : so that isnt really the proper way to mount samba shares at boot ?
[12:10] <yomm> woland_ : mind you , those shares do not contain any system files , just docs & media ..
[12:10] <ziadoz> does anyone know if there is a way to undo a terminal command?
[12:11] <woland_> yomm, i wouldn't know - i only mount shares my kernel can handle itself that early in the boot process
[12:11] <ardchoille> ziadoz: Depends on the command. What was it?
[12:11] <ziadoz> well
[12:11] <ziadoz> i slipped an did rm -r /home/user
[12:11] <ziadoz> :\
[12:11] <ardchoille> ziadoz: Oops
[12:11] <kbd> You are screwed ziadoz.
[12:11] <ziadoz> indeed, hillarious ;)
[12:11] <woland_> omegacenti, man watch
[12:12] <ziadoz> i was trying to clear the fucking trash
[12:12] <yomm> woland_ : so I could as well make it a soimple startup script ,instead of using fstab ?
[12:12] <ardchoille> ardchoille: I don't think that is "undoable"
[12:12] <ziadoz> now my user account is screwed
[12:12] <woland_> yomm, bingo, that's what i would do
[12:12] <kbd> ziadoz: Use nautilus for that :)
[12:12] <xelados> That's why I hate the trash.
[12:12] <ziadoz> is there a way i can use the terminal to create a new one
[12:12] <xelados> I wish I could get rid of it
[12:12] <ziadoz> the files in the trash were locked
[12:12] <ziadoz> is there a way i can use the terminal to create a new one
[12:12] <ziadoz> a new user account
[12:12] <woland_> yomm, although i don't run ubuntu - perhaps an enlightened use could help
[12:12] <ziadoz> *
[12:12] <omegacenti> woland_: that is exactly what I was looking for.
[12:12] <xelados> try manpaging "adduser"
[12:12] <chade> Hmm is it good practice to keep your kernel on the latest stable version?
[12:13] <xelados> I don't remember all of the options right off.
[12:13] <kbd> ziadoz: login as root
[12:13] <Chousuke> chade: just follow the ubuntu versions
[12:13] <yomm> woland_ : ok , going to give that a go . Thx ;)
[12:13] <omglazers> Hey does anyone know if I wanted to change from Gnome from KDE in kubuntu, if all I need to get is the ubuntu-desktop enviroment package and it'll grab all the gnome dependencies so I dont have to select them all?
[12:13] <ardchoille> kbd: That is not recommended nor supported
[12:13] <woland_> omegacenti, it's useful, but non-portable
[12:13] <woland_> omegacenti, with solaris/bsd i'd suggest a script
[12:13] <xelados> omglazers: That's the idea, yeah. I switched from GNOME to XFCE today using a similar strategy.
[12:13] <kbd> ardchoille: What is recommended?
[12:13] <woland_> yomm, np
[12:13] <bobbyd> hi
[12:13] <ziadoz> how can i login as root kbd
[12:13] <chade> Chousuke: Think I'm having an issue with EciAdsl because of the standard kernel version in Ubuntu
[12:13] <ardchoille> kbd: use sudo ro do sudo -i
[12:13] <chade> Chousuke:Thinking about updating my kernel to see if that fixes it
[12:13] <Chousuke> chade: Eeeh, USB ADSL?
[12:14] <Kronuz> hey, what should I install to get mp3, divx, wmv and wma support (and other formats)
[12:14] <chade> Yeah
[12:14] <omglazers> xelados: Great. I just wanted to make sure I didnt need to select anything ahead of time and then, whoops, I got gnome with nothing in it including networking :P
[12:14] <Chousuke> I pity you.
[12:14] <xelados> omglazers: If you get any packages that ask to be autoremoved, don't. You'll have to install them again or something.
[12:14] <chade> I know
[12:14] <bobbyd> is there a way to display how much video memory I have at the command-line?
[12:14] <chade> It's terrible
[12:14] <omglazers> xelados: none so far
[12:14] <kbd> ardchoille: And what if he hasn't any users to logi as to exec that?
[12:14] <omglazers> xelados: Didnt like XFCE?
[12:14] <xelados> omglazers: Didn't like GNOME. :)
[12:14] <Chousuke> chade: I fought with one for a week. then I got a real modem
[12:14] <Chousuke> chade: that money was well spent :P
[12:15] <ardchoille> kbd: Well, logging in as root is neither recommended nor supported and we aren't suppoed to suggest it here.
[12:15] <woland_> chade, save yourself a lot of agony by buying a ?25 adsl router
[12:15] <omegacenti> woland_:  that works!
[12:15] <Chousuke> Seriously, I think you'll live a year or two longer if you just get a real ADSL device :)
[12:15] <omegacenti> haha constant update noise filter
[12:15] <mrpoundsign> for a low-end system, which is better, KDE or Gnome?
[12:15] <chade> heh
[12:15] <Chousuke> mrpoundsign: neither.
[12:15] <xelados> mrpoundsign: Neither.
[12:15] <bimberi> kbd: booting to recovery mode gets a root shell
[12:15] <mrpoundsign> or should I go with XFCE?
[12:15] <woland_> omegacenti, :)
[12:15] <xelados> hahaha
[12:15] <omegacenti> now if only I could pipe the noise number to some kind of graph maker.
[12:15] <omegacenti> that would be cool
[12:15] <omglazers> xelados: XFCE = Gnome? I dunno; linux newb here
[12:15] <chade> Damn my graphics drivers are shot, I used xserver-xorg configuration and can't load anything up now
[12:16] <Frogzoo> mrpoundsign: xfce if < 256ram < 500Meg CPU
[12:16] <xelados> omglazers: XFCE uses a few GNOME features here and there, but it's much more lightweight than GNOME and KDE.
[12:16] <kbd> ardchoille: Well, I'm not in staff and I'm not a member of your club. There is nothing going to save him from himself built into sudo.
[12:16] <xelados> My CPU's 2.21GHz and I have a gig of RAM, using XFCE.
[12:16] <xelados> SIlky smooth operation.
[12:16] <kbd> bimberi: see, that is a better idea! thank you
[12:16] <distributed> somebody help?
[12:16] <distributed> ubuntu doens't boot
[12:16] <distributed> i burnt the cd
[12:16] <xelados> distributed: What error messages are you getting?
[12:16] <distributed> i press enter on the normal boot, it stops on the flashing '_"
[12:17] <Frogzoo> xelados: that would run gnome silky smooth too
[12:17] <kbd> distributed: did you try the alternative boot?
[12:17] <ardchoille> kbd: What you do on your machine is your business. However, when in this channel, we are to adhere to the channel rules.
[12:17] <Flannel> distributed: did you check the CD for defects?
[12:17] <woland_> omegacenti, check out rrdtool
[12:17] <distributed> nope
[12:17] <omglazers> xelados: Got it. I  = n00b
[12:17] <BrownFrog> xelandos: With that kind of system, I'd think that KDE and GNOME would be silky smooth too (I'm using GNOME+Beryl right now, very smoothly)
[12:17] <xelados> Frogzoo: Yeah, it ran GNOME okay, but GNOME has a habit of periodic lagging.
[12:17] <n-iCe> hwo can i join to a folder in the terminal ?
[12:17] <n-iCe> cd foldername ?
[12:17] <Flannel> n-iCe: yeah
[12:17] <mrpoundsign> It's a 2ghz machine.  2gm RAM.  but it's a laptop, and generally feels sluggish.
[12:17] <n-iCe> isn't working
[12:17] <Frogzoo> xelados: if that was dapper, edgy is much quicker
[12:17] <n-iCe> torro@torro-desktop:~/Desktop$ ls
[12:17] <n-iCe> C  Documentos  Incomplete  Lexmark  mIRC.desktop  mIRC.lnk  Music
[12:17] <xelados> I'm using Dapper.
[12:17] <xelados> er
[12:17] <xelados> edgy
[12:17] <kbd> ardchoille: okay. Is there a good reason why logging in as root is a bad idea? I am clearly not understanding the logic behind that decision.
[12:18] <Frogzoo> xelados: kk
[12:18] <n-iCe> torro@torro-desktop:~/Desktop$ cd lexmark
[12:18] <n-iCe> bash: cd: lexmark: No existe el fichero  directorio
[12:18] <distributed> kbd should i boot in safe grahpics mode or what?
[12:18] <n-iCe> No existe el fichero  directorio = Doesn't exist file or directory
[12:18] <kbd> distributed: If you haven't trid t already then ye
[12:18] <Flannel> n-iCe: Lexmark isn't the same as lexmark, it's case sens.
[12:18] <xelados> I've considered trying out the DVORAK layout
[12:18] <xelados> but too lazy to change my keyboard's keys
[12:18] <n-iCe> :o
[12:18] <n-iCe> let me check
[12:18] <distributed> kbd btw, will it boot without a mouse, nonworking usb and sound?
[12:18] <Frogzoo> kbd: root has permission to access & write to everything - so mistakes as root can be highly embarassing, also the root account is a target for hackers
[12:19] <n-iCe> what's alien ?
[12:19] <n-iCe> !alien
[12:19] <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)
[12:19] <n-iCe> can i install alien in ubuntu ?
[12:19] <Flannel> n-iCe: What are you trying to install with a rpm?
[12:19] <woland_> or use rpm2tgz
[12:20] <ardchoille> kbd: The root account is locked upon install. That is supported. I have been using Ubuntu on 11 machines (5 servers) since Warty and have never needed to enable the root account. I can't hack into your root account if it's disabled. It's a security enhancement.
[12:20] <n-iCe> in the manual says: alien -t z600cups-1.0-1.i386.rpm
[12:20] <woland_> and examine/extract like a real man(tm)
[12:20] <n-iCe> is to install my printer
[12:20] <xelados> How do I enable Ctrl+Shift+hexcode or the Compose key?
[12:20] <Flannel> n-iCe: help.ubuntu.com/community/RPM/AlienHowto
[12:20] <ziadoz> i managed to create a new user account, how can i elevate it so i have full access?
[12:20] <n-iCe> :/
[12:20] <xelados> I miss unicode characters
[12:20] <n-iCe> you can't say something like sudo apt-get install alien ?
[12:20] <omegacenti> if ubuntu freeze up, is there any way to get out of it besides waiting indfinately/ turning off computer?
[12:20] <woland_> ardchoille, how is having one user with sudo ALL access any more secure than having a single sudoer user?
[12:21] <n-iCe> pls i'm tired of read
[12:21] <BrownFrog> kbd, archoille: I actually find sudo'ing everything inconvenient when doing multiple things, so I 'sudo su' to root in a terminal, do when I want, then when I'm done (to be safe) promptly log out of the root terminal
[12:21] <techie_> I need to do some voice recording and tried to use the "sound recorder" but tells me my multimedia settings must be setup... How do I do that? Or is there a better program to use for this?
[12:21] <woland_> omegacenti, check tty
[12:21] <Flannel> omegacenti: Depends on what "freeze" means.  try ctrl-alt-f1 to switch to a TTY
[12:21] <Freeman> could someone help me, my wireless works just fine but network manager doesnt display the available connections i had to enter in my ssid into the dialog that comes default with ubuntu
[12:21] <Frogzoo> ziadoz: sudo adduser USERNAME admin
[12:21] <woland_> omegacenti, will be able to tell if it's an X hangup
[12:21] <omegacenti> then start throwing killall's?
[12:21] <kbd> Frogzoo: So how is that different from sudo, regarding the first reason. Regarding the second reason, for normal use, ofcourse it is a bad idea to be root. But for administrative tasks like this, what is the harm?
[12:21] <distributed> blah it doesn't load
[12:21] <Flannel> omegacenti: Uh, essentially ;)
[12:21] <distributed> boots but doens't load =p
[12:21] <ziadoz> Frogzoo, i made the account, but it doesnt seem to have full access to all the apps in System >

[12:22] <ziadoz> System > Admin
[12:22] <omegacenti> what if the kernal is frozen?
[12:22] <Frogzoo> ziadoz: sudo adduser USERNAME admin
[12:22] <techie_> Can anybody recommend a good voice recorder or help me setup the one offered by Ubuntu?
[12:22] <woland_> omegacenti, then tty wont work

[12:23] <woland_> n-iCe, check $? and compare it to RETURN VALUES

[12:24] <GionnyBoss> I installed Ubuntu Edgy on an old computer with Sound Blaster 16. Audio doesn't work, looks like Ubuntu didn't find the sound card. Can anybody help me, please?
[12:24] <yomm> ok i'll check that out !
[12:24] <chade> how do I restart my PC from the terminal line?
[12:24] <bimberi> chade: sudo reboot
[12:24] <ardchoille> chade: sudo shutdown -r now
[12:24] <chade> need to check my monitor refresh rate etc
[12:24] <chade> Thanks
[12:24] <woland_> yomm, or /etc/init.d/ not sure on ubuntu "geography"
[12:24] <jaldrich> sudo  reboot
[12:24] <GionnyBoss> chade, sudo shutdown -r now
[12:24] <kbd> mrpoundsign: Xorg.log is always the newest log
[12:25] <woland_> GionnyBoss, or reboot(1) ;)
[12:25] <yomm> woland ; yes ,was checking that one too :)
[12:25] <jaldrich> what file or lib do i need to listen to aac files ?
[12:25] <GionnyBoss> Does anyone have an idea on how can I make a Sound Blaster 16 work under Ubuntu Edgy? I saw on forums people speaking about 'sb' module but I don't know where to find it.
[12:25] <theblue> Hi all.
[12:25] <mrpoundsign> what does screen do as a service?
[12:25] <Freeman> could someone help me, my wireless works just fine but network manager doesnt display the available connections i had to enter in my ssid into the dialog that comes default with ubuntu?
[12:25] <reap> i have AMD X2 CPU, 1GB Corsair XMS, nV 7800GT, nF4 ultra chipset system...tried AMD64, AMD64 alternate, i386 installations all with same problem
[12:25] <kbd> mrpoundsign: I meant Xorg.0.log
[12:25] <reap> corrupted graphics
[12:26] <theblue> I'm trying to copy a DVD for personal use, but it apparently has CSS on it, can I bypass this?
[12:26] <reap> any ideas?
[12:26] <kbd> or whatever, they are all in /var/log
[12:26] <jaldrich> would libnavdvd4
[12:26] <woland_> Freeman, try typing sudo iwlist <interface> scan
[12:26] <jaldrich> work
[12:26] <BrownFrog> reap: wow, almost the same configuration as me
[12:26] <eyecue> Can I get a confirmation that in order to reset a root password, I need to boot into single user mode and run a `passwd root ? Any specific URL's outlining the procedure?
[12:26] <bimberi> GionnyBoss: try a 'sudo modprobe sb'.  If it works, add 'sb' to /etc/modules to make it stick.
[12:26] <theblue> I find this tremendously irritating, since I own the DVD.

[12:26] <Gesus> how can i backup my fstab before i edit it?
[12:26] <woland_> eyecue, do you have sudo access to root?
[12:26] <Flannel> ziadoz: yep.  Just select it from the grub menu
[12:26] <GionnyBoss> bimberi, thanks
[12:26] <BrownFrog> reap: I find, with almost *all* distributions (except for Ubuntu Feisty), the open-source nv drivers just don't work
[12:26] <eyecue> I have su yes.
[12:26] <Freeman> woland_,  it lists the available aps
[12:27] <bimberi> Gesus: sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak
[12:27] <ziadoz> i did adduser username admin
[12:27] <eyecue> well, user in is group whatever
[12:27] <Freeman> i already knew how to do that
[12:27] <woland_> Freeman, is that not what you wanted>
[12:27] <GionnyBoss> bimberi, actually I feel stupid... I didn't check if there was a module already installed before asking here! Thanks for the tip :P
[12:27] <ziadoz> does that now have proper priveleges?
[12:27] <bimberi> GionnyBoss: np :)
[12:27] <reap> BrownFrog: the only things that i guess isnt run of the mill is i have a Creative Labs X-Fi platinum...
[12:27] <BrownFrog> reap: so I usually edit my /etc/X11/xorg.conf (from another distro) to use the vesa drivers instead, then install the proprietary nvidia drivers
[12:27] <Gesus> ty
[12:27] <kbd> Is shift+backspace some kind of hotkey for "PISSOFFKBD!" in XOrg or Xgl?
[12:27] <Freeman> the network manager app doesnt display the drop down menu with aps like it should was my problem
[12:27] <eyecue> woland_; i do indeed
[12:27] <scuderia> hi, i have ubuntu but i dont have internet on my pc, so i cant install the networkmanager package, is there a way to download it?
[12:27] <bimberi> ziadoz: try it and see ;)
[12:27] <eyecue> or do you mean NOPASS ?
[12:27] <BrownFrog> reap: Yeah, I have a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS instead, but that really shouldn't matter
[12:27] <woland_> eyecue, then sudo -s
[12:27] <woland_> eyecue, and passwd
[12:28] <reap> BrownFrog: ok, ill have to give that a go...thanks
[12:28] <bimberi> ziadoz: 'sudo ls' (for example)
[12:28] <ziadoz> ahh
[12:28] <ziadoz> it works
[12:28] <BrownFrog> reap: good luck :)
[12:28] <ziadoz> now my sound card is silent
[12:28] <ziadoz> awesome
[12:28] <pedrovox> join #ubuntu-marketing
[12:28] <distributed> comeon ubuntu
[12:28] <distributed> why doens't it load =[
[12:28] <distributed> !!!
[12:28] <bimberi> ziadoz: it's rare to see someone in here happy about a silent soundcard ;)
[12:29] <kbd> ziadoz: make sure you belong to the group that owns the soundcard
[12:29] <woland_> bimberi, depends on the playlist :)
[12:29] <ziadoz> how do i know which group owns the soundcard?
[12:29] <bimberi> woland_: lol
[12:29] <eyecue> woland_; look what i get for securing sudoers ;)
[12:29] <woland_> ziadoz, ls -l /dev/soundcard
[12:29] <GionnyBoss> bimberi, it works! thanks a lot!
[12:29] <RedWolf-> make your user a wheel user
[12:29] <GionnyBoss> :)
[12:29] <ziadoz> bah, i keep getting an error now
[12:29] <Kronuz> hey, for HTML and CSS development, what's a good editor/IDE?
[12:29] <woland_> ziadoz, replace soundcard with your device
[12:29] <bimberi> GionnyBoss: cool! :)
[12:29] <reap> BrownFrog: fiesty = 6.06??
[12:29] <Kronuz> same for PHP, Perl and C/C++
[12:29] <eyecue> woland_; next best thing after sudo?
[12:30] <woland_> eyecue, what did you restrict sudo access to?
[12:30] <Kronuz> (I have no idea in Linux what to use... I'd prefer graphical tools)
[12:30] <kbd> ziadoz: you can see who belongs to all of the groups by 'less /etc/group'
[12:30] <ziadoz> failed to to run /usr/sbin/synaptic as user root :|
[12:30] <eyecue> i just removed the group wheel (or whatever the root group is in ubuntu) NOPASS line
[12:30] <chade> Ahhh seems like my graphics card doesn't like Linux very much and doesn't work with the standard ati graphics drivers
[12:30] <chade> Need to use vesa
[12:30] <eyecue> ive got each user locked down to single command allias, on localhost
[12:30] <woland_> eyecue, single usermode or boot a livecd, mount your partitions, chroot to the / mount point and passwd
[12:30] <kbd> eyecue: Why did you do that?
[12:31] <eyecue> Because its a server? and i prefer good perms :)
[12:31] <eyecue> Anyway, why it was done is irrelevant, someone lost the root, and i dont have a record, but i dont have console
[12:31] <Kronuz> also, where are the packages put when they're downloaded by Synaptic?
[12:31] <woland_> eyecue, boot single user and passwd
[12:31] <RedWolf-> anyone have any idea how how to setup dual monitors on edgy?
[12:31] <Kronuz> (in case I need to reinstall everything right away and to avoid downloading stuff again)
[12:31] <eyecue> woland_ do you have the specifics for mounting the required fs's, this is my first day on ubuntu.
[12:32] <eyecue> can i mount -a ?
[12:32] <woland_> eyecue, from a livecd?
[12:32] <eyecue> for all fs's in fstab
[12:32] <RedWolf-> eyecue, it's just like most *nix
[12:32] <r4nge> need some help with crontab...  i have a script that when i run in command line works fine, when i execute that script through crontab it wont work unless the commands i have inside use "echo", the script i'm executing, execute another script inside it
[12:32] <kbd> eyecue: interesting concept... I know there was all kind of hell when a FreeBSD install of mine orphaned wheel from the get-go...
[12:32] <woland_> eyecue, no, the livecd wont respect the unmounted fstab
[12:32] <eyecue> roger, woland_, no ill reboot her into su
[12:32] <woland_> eyecue, fdisk -l
[12:32] <Gesus> now that i've edit my fstab file.. do i restart or reload it or something?
[12:32] <woland_> eyecue, then mount whats relevent
[12:32] <eyecue> kbd; never seen that happen, mind you, i do barebones installs and config post-install ;)
[12:32] <r4nge> is there some sort of limitation that's causing it not to work in crontab
[12:32] <ziadoz> is there a command to remove users in ubuntu?
[12:32] <tunganet> is envy the best way to install a video card on ubuntu?
[12:32] <woland_> Gesus, whatchanges did you make?
[12:33] <woland_> ziadoz, userdel
[12:33] <woland_> tunganet, nah, vim
[12:33] <kbd> eyecue: never saw it before and never seen it since. it was the closest thing to paranormal activity I have ever experienced :P
[12:33] <tunganet> woland_:  vim?
[12:33] <eyecue> very bizzare
[12:33] <eyecue> will mount -a mount fs's rw ?
[12:33] <woland_> tunganet, yeah - edit your xorg.conf with it
[12:34] <Gesus> woland_: I did:
[12:34] <Gesus> /dev/hda3	/media/hda3	ext3	rw,user,auto,exec,sync	0	0
[12:34] <Gesus> /dev/sda1	/media/hda3	ntfs	rw,user,auto,exec,sync	0	0

[12:34] <woland_> tunganet, which driver?
[12:34] <opetznick_> how i can exclude multiple patterns with rsync --exclude?
[12:34] <Ktron> Hey everyone... look for suggestions to deal with a problem with my (clean) ubuntu 6.10 install-- Whenever I logout/restart/shutdown from X, the screens go black and I never get video back, system acts hung
[12:34] <eyecue> multiple --exclude args.
[12:34] <woland_> opetznick_, correctamundo
[12:34] <tunganet> woland_: what exactly do u mean lol, how do i check?
[12:34] <RedWolf-> Ktron, edit your Xorg.conf
[12:35] <mistyday> i need some help with my server? im really new to using this system
[12:35] <woland_> tunganet, i'd suggest finding a howto
[12:35] <soweto76> Kronuz, ls /var/cache/apt/archives/
[12:35] <tunganet> woland_: howto on "vim"?
[12:35] <opetznick_> eyecue: you mean rsync --exclude bla --exclude bla1 ?
[12:35] <eyecue> correct
[12:35] <woland_> tunganet, no, on your problem
[12:35] <Gesus> ok i am going to restart and see what happens i hope those settings are ok
[12:35] <opetznick_> eyecue: thanks!
[12:35] <eyecue> np
[12:36] <woland_> opetznick_, yeah, fucking try it - learn from your mistakes

[12:36] <ziadoz> bah
[12:36] <RedWolf-> Did anyone have any suggestions on how to setup dual monitor interface with Ubuntu? Gnome is the GUI
[12:36] <woland_> Kronuz, are the the reos enabled?
[12:37] <shatrat> !universe | kronuz
[12:37] <ubotu> kronuz: 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
[12:37] <opetznick_> easy woland_
[12:37] <ziadoz> how can i create a new user account in the recovery console, with full priveleges, or enable root? anyone?
[12:37] <Kronuz> I have the universe selected
[12:37] <woland_> ziadoz, useradd
[12:37] <woland_> ziadoz, or passwd root
[12:37] <Kronuz> thanks soweto76
[12:38] <Ktron> RedWolf-: edit it how? X starts up fine, I can log in initially fine, I'm running it now fine, it only happens when I try to logout or equivalent
[12:38] <ziadoz> can i enable the root account from here, so i can login to it from the desktop?
[12:38] <Kronuz> woland_, what reos?
[12:38] <Ktron> RedWolf-: lol, I even have dual monitors setup
[12:38] <woland_> ziadoz, yeah - by assigning it a password
[12:38] <SoulChild> Hey @ all: I need HELP with /etc/fstab ... i have a Fat partition but can' delete files as standart user ,... what must i do ?
[12:39] <woland_> Kronuz, read what uboto said
[12:39] <RedWolf-> Ktron, I misread your statement. I thought it was always black
[12:39] <Kronuz> woland_, the repositories? yes they are
[12:39] <SoulChild> i want all rights on my fat partition , what mus be written in fstab ?
[12:39] <fiveiron> anyone running ubuntu server edition with an 800x600 console?  do i need to install something to use framebuffer?
[12:39] <woland_> SoulChild, besides rw?
[12:39] <ziadoz> ok, so i gave it a password, now when i boot out of the console i can login to it at the desktop?
[12:39] <woland_> fiveiron, why is framebuffer important on a server?
[12:39] <Ktron> My new Edgy ubuntu seems to hang whenever I logout of X, any suggestions?
[12:39] <SoulChild> woland_: than i can only accrs as root
[12:39] <fiveiron> woland_, monitoring logs with long lines
[12:39] <woland_> ziadoz, indeed you can ;)
[12:40] <distributed> can somebodhy help me?
[12:40] <MTecknology> How come I can't put VMware Server into full screen?
[12:40] <woland_> SoulChild, chmod the files
[12:40] <distributed> with installing ubuntu?
[12:40] <pikeshouse88> distributed: ask your question
[12:40] <woland_> MTecknology, click the fullscreen button ?
[12:40] <distributed> pikeshouse88 i boot the cd, press enter and it just hangs on the _
[12:40] <distributed> pikeshouse88 how would i overcome this and install?
[12:40] <SoulChild> woland_: but i want the whole entire disk ,... must i chmod /media/hda3 (the folder where it s mounted ) ???
[12:40] <woland_> distributed, check the boot options
[12:41] <woland_> distributed, perhaps disable some options like acpi
[12:41] <MTecknology> woland_, Unable to find an appropriate host video mode.
[12:41] <MTecknology> Adding the guest mode to the 'display' subsection of the 'screen' section of your /etc/X11/XF86Config and restarting X is likely to help.
[12:41] <MTecknology> Failed to switch to full screen SVGA mode.
[12:41] <omglazers> xelados: Hey I wanted to ask a question since you've done it; if I install another desktop enviroment, can I uninstall the other one to save space or is that not recommended?
[12:41] <distributed> woland_ what should i look for? (F6 i'd assume)
[12:41] <pikeshouse88> distributed: have you tried any alternative boot options?
[12:41] <distributed> pikeshouse88 yeah i stried the second boot option (vga thing)
[12:41] <xelados> omglazers:  Yeah, you can do that.
[12:41] <pikeshouse88> well there are much more than just that
[12:41] <woland_> SoulChild, yeah - chmod the mountpoint recursively
[12:41] <omglazers> xelados: Great :) Thank you
[12:41] <mrpoundsign> kbd: ok, I am in Xgl now, and if I load "Billards-GL", then it suddenly has some corruption, and the background windows do not update until I close it.
[12:41] <hilldu> Is possible to mount a ntfs partition that is on the same phisical drive as my linux partition?
[12:41] <distributed> pikeshouse88 where?
[12:42] <pikeshouse88> F keys
[12:42] <Kronuz> woland_, is that the right name? "Ubuntu restricted extras"
[12:42] <woland_> distributed, yes, peruse whatever boot options are available
[12:42] <distributed> pikeshouse88 there's only f1 - f6
[12:42] <xoba> hmm
[12:42] <woland_> Kronuz, sounds right
[12:42] <xoba> im using xchat and i can't seem to get it to choin multiple channels on connect
[12:42] <SoulChild> woland_: what is the chmod number for whole read and write acces for all users ?
[12:42] <Flannel> Kronuz: Just restricted, not extras.
[12:42] <xoba> *join
[12:42] <Kronuz> woland_, I'm using Edgy but it's not there (Universe is selected)
[12:42] <woland_> SoulChild, 0666
[12:42] <ziadoz> woland_, is says administrator cannot login from this screen on the login
[12:42] <tunganet> Okay, whenever i run warcraft, and i go to terminal to type nvidia-settings and look at my refresh rate, its set to 43(interlaced).  How do i make it so it will stay at 60-80 without going back to 43(interlaced)?
[12:43] <pikeshouse88> distributed: is this a new, old computer?
[12:43] <pikeshouse88> check if its compatible https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[12:43] <woland_> ziadoz, which console?
[12:43] <distributed> pikeshouse88 it's an emachines -- 2GHz 256 ram
[12:43] <Kronuz> Flannel, not there :(
[12:43] <ziadoz> im not in the console, at the login screen
[12:43] <pikeshouse88> ya should worl

[12:43] <Kronuz> or is it linux-restricted?
[12:43] <Kronuz> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[12:43] <Kronuz> Flannel, check that link
[12:43] <kbd> mrpoundsign: good, open gnome-terminal and less /var/log/Xorg.0.log - look for anything that mentions Gl or GL or gl
[12:44] <woland_> ziadoz, check securetty(5)
[12:44] <Kronuz> Flannel, it says I can instal Ubuntu restricted extras
[12:44] <soweto76> xoba, Xchat -> Network -> Edit  Server
[12:44] <Ferret> SoulChild: You probably want something like umask=0,fmask=111
[12:44] <ziadoz> how? :|
[12:44] <kbd> mrpoundsign: I have a suspicion it maybe your driver.
[12:44] <SoulChild> Ferret: what does this do ?
[12:44] <Flannel> Kronuz: are you on Feisty?
[12:44] <fiveiron> has anyone messed with the framebuffer?  i'm wanting to change my console reslolution
[12:44] <Ferret> SoulChild: Set all files to 666 and directories to 777, hopefully
[12:44] <Kronuz> Feisty? o_O?
[12:44] <Flannel> Kronuz: What version of ubuntu are you using?
[12:45] <linxeh> anyone here use Skype on Ubuntu? I can chat ok on it, but the ringing sound is really crackly - is that right ?
[12:45] <Kronuz> Edgy
[12:45] <Kronuz> I'm using Edgy
[12:45] <ziadoz> is there a way i can remove a group in the terminal in ubuntu?
[12:45] <Kronuz> 6.10
[12:45] <LaserJock> hi everybody, I need somebody running edgy to test a edgy-proposed package. anybody up for it?
[12:45] <SoulChild> Ferret: should i write this in fstab ?
[12:45] <SoulChild> umask=0,fmask=111
[12:45] <woland_> ziadoz, rmgroup
[12:45] <Flannel> Kronuz: that's 6.10, You want to use the correct instructions ;)  The "restricted extras" thing is for Feisty
[12:45] <linxeh> ziadoz:  or groupdel I guess
[12:45] <pikeshouse88> distributed: play with the F6 options
[12:45] <ziadoz> ok
[12:45] <ubuntu_rich> is there an easy way to watch a .iso
[12:45] <Ferret> SoulChild: that should work, try it.
[12:45] <Kronuz> oh :P
[12:45] <ziadoz> i deleted the group
[12:45] <ziadoz> created a new user account
[12:45] <ziadoz> using adduser
[12:45] <Flannel> Kronuz: you need to add the multiverse repository
[12:45] <Flannel> !iso | ubuntu_rich
[12:45] <ubotu> ubuntu_rich: To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[12:45] <ziadoz> i just need to make it admin
[12:45] <ziadoz> how can i do that?
[12:46] <mrpoundsign> kbd: would I want to look at Xorg.1.log, since it's display :1 ?
[12:46] <pikeshouse88> distributed: notably, disable USB and sound, and mouse
[12:46] <ubuntu_rich> awesome :) cheers
[12:46] <skatorgator> howdy
[12:46] <Kronuz> Flannel, I already added all the repositories in the list :P
[12:46] <dking> damn....
[12:46] <distributed> pikeshouse88 how?
[12:46] <dking> 1000 people
[12:46] <dking> pretty intense
[12:46] <skatorgator> how's everyone doing?
[12:46] <kbd> mrpoundsign: no, the numbers are just for dating purposes. like naming a cat "Snowball II"
[12:46] <Flannel> Kronuz: Multiverse might not be on the list.  What package are you having trouble finding?
[12:47] <dking> ok boyos what I wanna know here is
[12:47] <dking> dapper or edgy
[12:47] <skatorgator> helloo???
[12:47] <Nitro> What packages do I need to compile most sources ?
[12:47] <Kronuz> Flannel, I want add support for wmv, divx, mp3, wmv, wma, mpeg2, etc.
[12:47] <SoulChild> Ferret: now i can delete files but not paste them ...
[12:47] <Kronuz> and I found that RestrictedFormats howto... but it's for the wrong Ubuntu version :(
[12:47] <skatorgator> how do I get my floppy drive to drive?
[12:48] <Flannel> Kronuz: No, that howto includes all the versions, you just need to read the right on
[12:48] <distributed> =[
[12:48] <Ferret> SoulChild: use ls -l to look at the permissions of some file on the FAT partition, and some directory
[12:48] <LaserJock> anybody willing to do a really quick test of an Edgy update package?
[12:48] <Ferret> SoulChild: They should be -rw-rw-rw- and drwxrwxrwx respectively
[12:48] <woland_> ziadoz, you had the option to add the user to an admin group with useradd
[12:48] <Kronuz> Flannel, ... that's what I just realized  sorry :P
[12:48] <mrpoundsign> kbd: should I have disables AIGLX ?
[12:49] <woland_> ziadoz, now use chgrp
[12:49] <skatorgator> is there anybody out there?
[12:49] <ziadoz> i got my account working
[12:49] <Ferret> !hi > skatorgator
[12:49] <ziadoz> just no access to my sound card now
[12:49] <woland_> ziadoz, check vigr for audio references
[12:49] <skatorgator> what the gook are ya all doing, geeks?
[12:49] <Slart> skatorgator: your floppy drive doesn't drive? I might need some more explanation for this..
[12:50] <woland_> ziadoz, and add your user to that group
[12:50] <skatorgator> hey ferret
[12:50] <Slart> skatorgator: and all of a sudden I don't feel like helping you...
[12:50] <marx2k> My monitor doesnt monitor
[12:50] <kbd> mrpoundsign: Yes!
[12:50] <skatorgator> 'sup?
[12:50] <NDPTAL85> Why email client do you guys prefer? I'm trying to choose between Evolution and Thunderbird.
[12:50] <kbd> mrpoundsign: ATI does not support AIGLX yet.
[12:50] <kbd> mrpoundsign:  do you know how to do this?
[12:50] <hanbush> hi
[12:50] <Slart> NDPTAL85: Thunderbird at the moment
[12:50] <hanbush> i need some help
[12:50] <NDPTAL85> Bah I meant "Which"
[12:50] <mrpoundsign> kbd: well, it claims it was unable to initialize it anyway, so it reverted to s/w rendering.  hah
[12:50] <hanbush> i cant get my ubuntu setup back
[12:50] <tunganet> Okay, whenever i run warcraft, and i go to terminal to type nvidia-settings and look at my refresh rate, its set to 43(interlaced).  How do i make it so it will stay at 60-80 without going back to 43(interlaced)?
[12:51] <Ferret> !build-essential > Nitro
[12:51] <hanbush> i logged off
[12:51] <Kronuz> Flannel, I finally made my dmraid work but I installed Ubuntu in a spare drive... now I want to move everything to my RAID, what's the easiest way to do it?
[12:51] <NDPTAL85> Slart: Have you tried Evolution?
[12:51] <hanbush> and the resolution changed, so my monitor cant handle it, somebody please help me
[12:51] <mrpoundsign> kbd: the fglrx driver doesn't support aiglx?
[12:51] <Slart> NDPTAL85: but that's because I used it when I was using windows.. but it's nice to have a client I know I can use even on a windows machine
[12:51] <kbd> mrpoundsign: yeah, it sux :/
[12:51] <Nitro> Ferret: I already got it, but I still can't compile xchat 2.8
[12:51] <ziadoz> all i see in there related to audio is audio:z:29
[12:51] <kbd> mrpoundsign: disable composite too.
[12:51] <mrpoundsign> kbd: oh, I think this was from when I was using the radeon driver.
[12:51] <Slart> NDPTAL85: I've used evolution briefly.. really just before I installed thunderbird
[12:51] <Flannel> Kronuz: just normal copying?  Or, tar/gz up the stuff, then expand them to their drives
[12:51] <Kronuz> Flannel, I suppose I can just create a partition for Ubuntu, copy all the files there and reboot
[12:51] <Ferret> tunganet: I think you need to make changes to xorg.conf to do that; although maybe all you need to do is add nvidia-settings -l $HOME/.nvidia-settings-rc in your ~/.xinitrc
[12:52] <Kronuz> Flannel, yeah, but what about the booting stuff?
[12:52] <kbd> mrpoundsign: I have both of those disabled and I paste to a pastebin if you like
[12:52] <mrpoundsign> kbd: yeah, so I had to switch to the Xgl driver because the radeon driver didn't support the docking station attached monitor.
[12:52] <Kronuz> and I'm not sure what partitions Ubuntu creates
[12:52] <Ferret> tunganet: I'm not sure that program knows how to change the res once X has started.  If you're confident making changes to xorg.conf I can tell you what to put...
[12:52] <hanbush> somebody please help me, im locked out of my comp!
[12:52] <Ferret> Nitro: Ahh, in that case, you might like this...
[12:52] <mrpoundsign> kbd: you using a Dell D610 lappy?
[12:52] <Ferret> !build-dep > Nitro
[12:52] <derek_> is there a way to get some information about hwats going on durring boot like f2 normally does durring boot. because my laptop isnt booting
[12:53] <kbd> nah, HP dv5000
[12:53] <Flannel> Kronuz: if you move /boot, you'll need to reinstall grub to the MBR with the new location
[12:53] <Nitro> !build-dep Nitro
[12:53] <SoulChild> Ferret: i got it, i had to set the uid in fstab to mine ,... now everything works fine.... but how do i set the chmod to:dr-xr-xr-x
[12:53] <derek_> im on a fresh install it booted 3 times fine
[12:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about build-dep nitro - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:53] <Slart> hanbush: forgot your password?
[12:53] <chade> ok if I have a file called check.sh and I want to run it from the command line how do I do it?
[12:53] <derek_> nwo it doesnt work
[12:53] <Ferret> o.O
[12:53] <Nitro> apt it?
[12:53] <mrpoundsign> kbd: must be nice.  :P  I can figure it out, I think it's just commenting out the options.
 build-dep is a handy APT tool that will try to automatically install build (compile) dependencies for you. In the terminal: sudo apt-get build-dep package
[12:53] <distributed> screw this, i'm instlaling freebsd :D
[12:53] <lordmaynoth_> Does anyone if these error messages are harmless?  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9004/
[12:53] <Slart> chade: sh check.sh should work
[12:53] <kbd> mrpoundsign: If you know how toget TV out working I'd love to hear about that
[12:53] <Ferret> I missed the >
[12:53] <chade> thanks
[12:53] <Ferret> ;.;
[12:53] <Kronuz> Flannel, I guess it's not a task for newbies
[12:53] <hilldu> Is possible to mount a ntfs partition that is on the same phisical drive as my linux partition?
[12:53] <hanbush> slart, no the resolution changed spontaneously, and my monitor cant handle the new one, so i cant do anything
[12:53] <kbd> mrpoundsign: nah you have tell it to disable them, it's short I can msg to you
[12:53] <Ferret> No, I didn't, you did ;p
[12:53] <HymnToLife> hilldu, yes
[12:54] <mrpoundsign> kbd: sure
[12:54] <dmb062082> how do i turn of firestarter?
[12:54] <tunganet> Ferret:  okay, so what do i do? =[
[12:54] <chade> Ok when I tried to run it
[12:54] <Slart> hanbush: ok, press ctrl+alt+f1.. you should get a login prompt
[12:54] <Ferret> hilldu: Sure, is that not working?  Don't see why it would make a difference
[12:54] <mrpoundsign> kbd: I already have Composite disabled (Option ser to "0"
[12:54] <mrpoundsign> )
[12:54] <hanbush> no, the machine works, but the rez is changed
[12:54] <chade> It gave me the message you are either not running this script from the console, or simply do not have console ownership
[12:54] <hanbush> is the a command to change the default rez
[12:54] <derek_> its just freezing during boot, i just switched from gentoo and i am pretty disappointed
[12:54] <Nitro> Ferret: thanks
[12:54] <hilldu> Well when i do the command to show all drives i cant see the one i want to mount
[12:55] <Slart> hanbush: you can always do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:55] <kbd> mrpoundsign: yeah... wish composite worked
[12:55] <hanbush> what does that do?
[12:55] <tunganet> Ferret: i have to restart my xorg, brb.
[12:55] <dmb062082> how do i ditch the firewall?
[12:55] <Slart> hanbush: not sure about the exact spelling of that last thing
[12:55] <mrpoundsign> kbd: what is composite?
[12:55] <Slart> hanbush it lets you configure your X11 settings.. resolution etc
[12:55] <kbd> I could really use xtransset sometimes
[12:55] <hanbush> slart: i just installed ubuntu yesterday, im a unix supernoob
[12:55] <Flannel> !grub | Kronuz, first link.  It's no big deal at all
[12:55] <Ferret> tunganet: You need a line in your "Screen" Section (but not in the "Display" SubSection(s)) like this: Option "MetaModes" "1280x1024_75; 1280x1024; 1024x768_75; 1024x768; ... "
[12:55] <ubotu> Kronuz, first link.  It's no big deal at all: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[12:56] <Ferret> Damn, he left.
[12:56] <chade> me too hanbush, it's driving me crazy but I'm determined to learn how to do it
[12:56] <SoulChild> hey how can i copy chmod attributes from a folder to an other ???
[12:56] <kbd> mrpoundsign: basically it takes advantage of XOrg's ability to use alpha transparency
[12:56] <hanbush> slart: so what would be the command to change it to 1280x1024 @ 60hz
[12:56] <Slart> hanbush: it's the configuring menu that you run the first time .. try it.. it will backup files and ask you nice questions like where you live and such
[12:56] <kbd> mrpoundsign: it allows you to do shadows without beryl or compiz
[12:56] <Ferret> hilldu: Which command is that?
[12:56] <Kronuz> Flannel, but how many partitions are there in an Ubuntu's install?
[12:56] <Slart> hanbush: you go through it all and somewhere along the way it will ask you about resolutions
[12:56] <kbd> mrpoundsign: and to set transparency for windows too
[12:56] <Kronuz> boot, root, usr, what else?
[12:57] <hilldu> i cant remember
[12:57] <hilldu> hold on
[12:57] <Ferret> hilldu: You probably want /sbin/fdisk -l or df -h
[12:57] <chade> Anyone have any experience installing Ati Radeon Mobility x1400 drivers to Ubuntu?
[12:57] <mrpoundsign> kbd: oh, interesting.  well, I found the FAQ on disabling those, so I am going to re-start my WM now.  bbiab.  :)
[12:57] <hanbush> slart: alright, so i run that from reco mode?
[12:57] <hanbush> slart: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[12:57] <Slart> hanbush: sure.. that works..
[12:57] <Slart> hanbush: yes.. that looks right
[12:57] <Kronuz> Ferret, thanks ;)
[12:58] <Slart> chade: hmm.. what is the script doing? anything special?
[12:58] <Ferret> Kronuz: You mean Flannel...
[12:58] <hanbush> slart: thanks a ton, ill brb in a sec
[12:58] <Nitro> Ferret: I still get the "pixmaps.c:103: error"
[12:58] <Kronuz> Ferret, well, you showed me the command to view the partitions :P
[12:58] <Slart> chade: you might have to run it with a sudo in front.. like "sudo sh check.sh" if you want it to run with administrator priveleges
[12:58] <Ferret> Nitro: Can you pastebin the error and as much context as you can?
[12:58] <Kronuz> (by chance)
[12:58] <soweto76> kbd, composite worked on my ubuntu 6.10 with xfce4
[12:58] <Nitro> Ferret: aye
[12:59] <hilldu> this is waht i used sudo fdisk -l
[12:59] <Kronuz> what's that Extended partition tho'?
[12:59] <kbd> soweto76: ATI doesn't support the composite extension with fglrx
[12:59] <Flannel> Kronuz: That depends on how many you made when you installed (or how many you want to make now)
[12:59] <n-iCe> hi why ubuntu is not saving tray icons ? how can i change that configuration ?
[12:59] <soweto76> kbd, nvidia here
[01:00] <Kronuz> Linux is where everything is (it's 80GB, then rhere's an Extended one and then the Linux Swap
[01:00] <Ferret> Kronuz: If you're trying to work out the grub names for things you might want to try using the grub shell and the "find" command, or even better, do stuff like "root (hd0,0)/<TAB>" (press tab there).  By looking at the files you can work out which partition it is
[01:00] <kbd> soweto76: yeah, you have all the fun :/
[01:00] <Ferret> Kronuz: 'cos grub has a weird numbering system
[01:00] <Nitro> Ferret: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9020/
[01:00] <killown> n-ice you need add sys try  in genome taskbar
[01:00] <r4nge> where is the actual "EDITOR" variable stored if i were to change default crontab editor to vim
[01:00] <kbd> soweto76: I wish desperately that I coud rip the videocard o of this laptop and put in an nvidia
[01:00] <n-iCe> killown how ?
[01:00] <kazuka> hi
[01:00] <kbd> soweto76: my next laptop will be nvidia
[01:01] <Kronuz> I'd install the MBR in the RAID, but I don't know how the MBR works in a fake RAID...
[01:01] <woland_> r4nge, EDITOR is an environment variable
[01:01] <soweto76> kbd, while composite worked it was a bit slow with the xfce4 stuff
[01:01] <kazuka> !nvidia
[01:01] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:01] <r4nge> woland: is it stored anywhere?
[01:01] <hilldu> It doesn't return one of my partitions though, it should show a 120gb ntfs drive but it doesn't
[01:01] <kbd> soweto76: hm, it should have been accelerated
[01:02] <Kronuz> what's the command to install a .deb file?
[01:02] <marx2k> dpkg
[01:02] <marx2k> !dpkg
[01:02] <ubotu> dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.
[01:02] <Kronuz> ... I always forget the 'd'
[01:02] <Slart> Kronuz: dpkg -i mydebfile.deb
[01:02] <r4nge> right now default editor is nano, where is stored on the system right now that causes nano to be default
[01:02] <kbd> Kronuz: think "debian package"
[01:02] <woland_> r4nge, in memory, you can store it in your profile
[01:02] <soweto76> kbd, I am using Feisty Herd4 with nvidia now and it is still a bit slow.  I think this may be an Xfce thing however.
[01:02] <Slart> Kronuz: as always.. you might need a sudo in front there.. sudo dpkg -i debfile.deb
[01:03] <eyecue> hmm she doesnt want to boot into single user
[01:03] <Kronuz> thanks :)
[01:03] <woland_> r4nge, (.bashrc/.bash_profile - any other sourced file)
[01:03] <r4nge> EDITOR=/bin/vi
[01:03] <r4nge> export EDITOR
[01:03] <eyecue> i keep getting enter root pass for maintenance, or ctrl- to continue
[01:03] <eyecue> gah.
[01:03] <hilldu> is this because all my other partitions are on a SATA physical drive while the one i want to mount is a IDE?
[01:03] <kazuka> !limewire
[01:03] <ubotu> limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install !java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider !FrostWire as an alternative.
[01:03] <kbd> soweto76: could be. How is Feisty? I feel bleeding edge being on Edgy :P
[01:03] <MetaBookfoziS> !print
[01:03] <ubotu> Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[01:03] <Ferret> Nitro: Do you have libdevel/libgtk2.0-dev installed, and a program called /usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-csource on the disk?
[01:03] <woland_> r4nge, or export EDITOR=/bin/vi
[01:04] <eyecue> does Single = single at the end of a kernel line in grub? ie; not case sensitive?
[01:04] <soweto76> kbd, Feisty is solid -- no problems with Herd4
[01:04] <tunganet> OOD: sync to VBlank, Allow Flipping, "Disable use of enhanced CPU instruction sets".  Which ones should i disable/enable to enrich my gaming performance?
[01:04] <MetaBookfoziS> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HpPrinterInstallationAndMaintenanceDapper
[01:04] <MetaBookfoziS> where i found this in kubuntu?
[01:04] <infidel> !splash
[01:04] <ubotu> To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor.
[01:05] <r4nge> well for example, if i were to want to check what the default editor is when i first install ubuntu, would i be able to check somewhere (without resorting to just loading it)
[01:05] <n2diy> Open Office doesn't work, I get the splash screen as it opens, and then it dies. I'm running Dapper here, and I'm not sure if it worked after the intial installation or not.
[01:05] <Kronuz> great! I can play divx files now...
[01:05] <eyecue> Is the word Single for booting single user mode case sensitive?
[01:05] <absolutroot> hi guys... i am about to move from fedora to ubuntu, and was wondering if ndiswrapper is preinstalled in ubuntu edgy eft?  i tried to google it but did not find anything
[01:06] <Frogzoo> eyecue: most everything in nix is case sensitive - lower case s for single
[01:06] <mrpoundsign> kbd:  wow, compiz seems a lot faster than beryl...
[01:06] <Kronuz> still, I can't play WMV videos :(
[01:06] <kbd> mrpoundsign: yeah?? what about with blur on?
[01:06] <Kronuz> don't know about quicktime yet
[01:06] <mark22> hi guys, when i try to install ubuntu, the screen is somewhat garbled during installation
[01:06] <eyecue> hmm, i did use single, keep getting asked for maintenance password for root or ctrl-d to continue, no standard su # prompt
[01:06] <soweto76> absolutroot, I don't think ndiswrapper is installed by default and there are least a couple variants.
[01:06] <Flannel> absolutroot: not preinstalled, but on the CD
[01:06] <soundray> r4nge: debian-based systems normally use /usr/bin/sensible-editor for system tasks, so you can copy or link vi to that name
[01:06] <Nitro> Ferret: Yes.
[01:06] <Slart> eyecue: tried typing your user password?
[01:07] <linxeh> MetaBookfoziS: in System Settings on the main KDE menu
[01:07] <eyecue> yes
[01:07] <absolutroot> k, thanks guys
[01:07] <tonyyarusso> mark22: You may want to try either hooking up a different monitor or using the alternate CD.
[01:07] <Flannel> soundray, r4nge, don't symlink, use update-alternatives
[01:07] <Slart> eyecue: hmm.. I'm out of ideas then
[01:07] <eyecue> well, first user you mean?
[01:07] <eyecue> gah.
[01:07] <Slart> eyecue: yes
[01:07] <eyecue> why am i getting a prompt in the first place.
[01:07] <MetaBookfoziS> yes i have htat
[01:07] <MetaBookfoziS> thx
[01:07] <mark22> tony, i have a 1440x900 monitor, do you think thats the problem?
[01:07] <r4nge> Just edit /etc/bashrc...export EDITOR="pico"
[01:07] <eyecue> xorlev; save me :(~
[01:07] <r4nge> i was hoping to find something like that
[01:08] <marx2k> mark22: is it garbled after installation?
[01:08] <kazuka> !amule
[01:08] <ubotu> amule: client for the eD2k and Kad networks, like eMule. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.1.3-1 (edgy), package size 1239 kB, installed size 3368 kB
[01:08] <soundray> Flannel: as in 'sudo update-alternatives --config sensible-editor'? I get "No alternatives for sensible-editor."
[01:08] <pukeko> i have just lost sound. soundcard can not be detected !! is there a "snd-detect" tpye app in EDGY
[01:08] <mrpoundsign> kbd: not brave enough to try that yet.
[01:08] <kbd> hehe
[01:08] <mark22> marx, after i hit start or install ubuntu, it shows the progress bar with little green lines under it
[01:08] <theblue> Is there a way to do an on-the-fly copy of a DVD (for personal use, of course) of a DVD with CSS encryption?
[01:08] <Ferret> Nitro: OK, in that case, try cd src/pixmaps; make clean; make
[01:08] <marx2k> mark22 Im just wondering if its fine after installation
[01:08] <mark22> and the ubuntu logo looks like an 8 bit gif
[01:09] <marx2k> cool
[01:09] <soweto76> absolutroot, apt-cache search ndiswrapper
[01:09] <marx2k> :)
[01:09] <mark22> i can't get to the installation
[01:09] <pukeko> i don't seem to have alsaconf
[01:09] <linxeh> theblue: i guess k3b with libcss might do it
[01:09] <theblue> linxeh: Tried it, doesn't work.
[01:09] <soundray> theblue: not sure what you mean by "on the fly", but you might want to check out k9copy
[01:09] <marx2k> mark22: why cant you get to the installation?
[01:09] <pukeko> ..so how do i detect my soundcard ?
[01:09] <theblue> soundray: Disc-to-disc, without getting on the hard drive.
[01:09] <mark22> marx, it doesnt progress after the second screen
[01:09] <Xorlev> eyecue: What happened?
[01:09] <marx2k> mark22: which one is the second screen again?
[01:10] <Nitro> Ferret: Seems like it's working this time
[01:10] <mark22> marx, the one that shows up after you hit "start or install Ubuntu"
[01:10] <marx2k> err...
[01:10] <Ferret> Nitro: It does that sometimes, no idea why
[01:10] <v4m21> some body please tell commnd for viewing  boot time hardware messages ?
[01:11] <marx2k> im not sure if your graphics issue is whats causing the install issue though
[01:11] <soundray> v4m21: dmesg
[01:11] <v4m21> thanks.
[01:11] <marx2k> you might want to try the alternate install CD
[01:11] <Nitro> Ferret: Well, thanks :)
[01:11] <pukeko> how to detect a soundcard ?
[01:11] <Kronuz> oh, they're working... not all of them, but most (WMV)
[01:11] <Ferret> Nitro: If there're further problems, try unpacking the source, run make distclean, then run ./configure etc.
[01:11] <mark22> should i re download the iso, or just burn a new copy?
[01:11] <ericz> what's edgy use for screensaver daemon? no more xscreensaver?
[01:11] <marx2k> mark22: i'd burn an alternate ISO ... the alternative install CD
[01:12] <Kronuz> hey, I see Nautilus shows thumbnails of my files
[01:12] <Flannel> soundray: not sensible-editor, just editor
[01:12] <Ferret> xscreensaver is a horrible buggy program after all ;p
[01:12] <Frogzoo_> Kronuz: indeed
[01:12] <Kronuz> is it keeping a cache somewhere?
[01:12] <Nitro> Ferret: No it worked, I'm on 2.8 now :)
[01:12] <mark22> ok thanks for the help
[01:12] <marx2k> hope it DOES help
[01:12] <Frogzoo_> Kronuz: ~/.thumbnails/
[01:12] <ilreds> it's safe upgrade to feisty?
[01:12] <mark22> haha, we'll see
[01:12] <soundray> Flannel: that works, thanks

[01:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about soundcard - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:12] <marx2k> hrmmm
[01:12] <marx2k> !sound
[01:12] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[01:13] <soundray> ilreds: not before it's released. But you're welcome to help testing it.
[01:13] <vicente> does anyone know if evdev works ootb in 6.10 with mx518  for xorg?
[01:13] <Ferret> ericz: Looks like gnome-screensaver (System -> Preferences -> Screensaver)
[01:13] <marx2k> Im testing feisty in VMWare... seems to be solid but has had some bumps
[01:13] <Ferret> Nitro: Excellent. :)
[01:14] <n2diy> Open Office doesn't work, I get the splash screen as it opens, and then it dies. I'm running Dapper here, and I'm not sure if it worked after the intial installation or not.I re-installed OO with Synaptic, but it still does this.
[01:14] <eyecue> hmm, didnt like first userpassword either
[01:14] <vicente> anyone here have mx518?
[01:14] <marx2k> n2diy, try running it from a command line
[01:14] <brea> Is there any chance that they will fix the link for /bin/sh to /bin/dash?
[01:14] <Flannel> marx2k: #ubuntu+1 for feisty support
[01:14] <n2diy> marx2k: ok
[01:14] <Flannel> brea: no.  That's not a bug.  Dash is the new interpretter
[01:14] <Jackolas> Ok
[01:15] <Jackolas> A plug on my sound card isn't delivering sound
[01:15] <soundray> n2diy: try 'cd ; mv .openoffice.org2 openoffice.org2-backup ; oowriter'
[01:15] <Jackolas> the Front works
[01:15] <brea> Flannel: and the link breaks a lot of scripts out there
[01:15] <Kronuz> now I need to know a way to find something in the content of a whole bunch of files... :P
[01:15] <Jackolas> But my Rear has no signal
[01:15] <cecko> Hi all, what info should I submit with a bug report if my ThinkPad's wifi does not work sometimes? in kNetworkManager it shows no networks and WlanAssistant "No useable wireless devices found"
[01:15] <Kronuz> (and a good editor)
[01:15] <soundray> Kronuz: man grep
[01:15] <brea> Flannel: a bug by any other name is still a bug
[01:15] <Flannel> brea: those scripts are incorrectly written, assuming sh is bash.  The scripts, if using bash specific things, should have the shebang reference /bin/bash.
[01:15] <n2diy> marx2k: darryl@Chatto:~$ open office
[01:15] <n2diy> Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console
[01:15] <Flannel> brea: It's a bug in the scripts, not Ubuntu
[01:15] <infidel> if hd0,0 is root what would my /boot be?
[01:16] <Jackolas> Any one know how to use multiple signal outs?
[01:16] <marx2k> n2diy, do what soundray said
[01:16] <Kronuz> soundray, I was hoping to have it in a graphical editor ^_^
[01:16] <n2diy> marx2k: ok
[01:16] <infidel> brea, just change it yourself
[01:16] <kazuka> anyone know how to get hi id on amule?
[01:16] <marx2k> soundray, whats the difference on a CLI between ';' and '&&'?
[01:16] <soundray> Kronuz: make friends with the command line. It's much more powerful in Linux. Read ubotu's pm:
[01:16] <eyecue> one continues if the first one suceeded
[01:16] <brea> Flannel: I get that, but too many scripts depend on it to change the link
[01:16] <eyecue> the other doesnt
[01:16] <soundray> !cli > Kronuz
[01:17] <Flannel> marx2k: the former performs the commands unconditionally, the latter only on success
[01:17] <marx2k> ohh
[01:17] <eyecue> && is if previous success.
[01:17] <eyecue> ; is regardless
[01:17] <eyecue> man  bash
[01:17] <theblue> And & is background?
[01:17] <marx2k> the man page for bash is immense
[01:17] <eyecue> search it with /
[01:17] <Flannel> brea: Those scripts are poorly written.  What's your point?  It's not a bug with Ubuntu.
[01:17] <eyecue> unless ubuntu is different ;)
[01:17] <Kronuz> soundray, do you know if I can make the back/forward buttons in my mouse work in Nautilus?
[01:17] <marx2k> almost 5000 lines for the bash man page ;)
[01:18] <pavs> whats wrong with this command?  sudo ls -R | /home/pavs/test.txt
[01:18] <Squee> Does anyone know of a tool to bruteforce the directory structure (maybe files as well) of a webpage?
[01:18] <Kronuz> (the way they work in windows)
[01:18] <Flannel> brea: dash provides a good deal of benefits over bash as an interpretter
[01:18] <soundray> marx2k: for more approachable help, /join #bash and read the topic
[01:18] <theblue> pavs: It's not actually outputting anywhere.
[01:18] <Flannel> pavs: you want >
[01:18] <tonyyarusso> pavs: why are you using sudo for that?
[01:18] <theblue> pavs: Try 'sudo ls -R | cat > /home/pavs/test.txt'
[01:18] <pavs> because it said permisson denied
[01:18] <Kronuz> also, how do I mount a DVD image?
[01:18] <Kronuz> .... so many questions :P
[01:18] <marx2k> Hm, lots of channels I didnt know existed
[01:18] <theblue> pavs: Oh, right.
[01:18] <Flannel> pavs: or, sudo ls -R | tee /home/test.txt
[01:18] <theblue> pavs: Try 'sudo ls -R | sudo cat > /home/pavs/test.txt'
[01:18] <Flannel> theblue: no, tee not cat
[01:19] <theblue> Flannel: What's the difference?
[01:19] <Kronuz> (all just to run away from Vista) ^_^
[01:19] <Flannel> theblue: they do different things
[01:19] <brea> Flannel: The boot speed is nice, but dealing with support issues is NOT!
[01:19] <soundray> !iso > Kronuz, read the pm from ubotu pls
[01:19] <theblue> Flannel: Didn't know.
[01:19] <arrenlex> Flannel: That doesn't do anything, unless you need root permissions to list the directory files.
[01:19] <kitche> brea: it's also not hard to change the link also
[01:19] <Kronuz> soundray, thanks
[01:19] <kbd> mrpoundsign: My pm never got to you did it?
[01:19] <arrenlex> Flannel: If you're doing what I think you're doing, sudo goes on the tee.
[01:19] <hanbus1> slart you still here buddy??
[01:19] <ekimus> anyone running xen binary with oracle-xe as a domU? upon starting oracle i get this: "Bad pte = 003dd0a0, process = ???, vm_flags = 70, vaddr = b7084000" google is silent about it :(
[01:19] <Slart> hanbus1: yup.. how did it go?
[01:19] <ComputerHermit> wheir do I post a new thread
[01:20] <Kronuz> is there a ubotu entry for ubotu (showing all the commands)? :P
[01:20] <Flannel> arrenlex: right, if you need permissions to write the file, you need sudo on the tee.  He however had sudo on the ls,so I was parrotting his command
[01:20] <n2diy> marx2k: soundray, that command worked, will my app menus work now?
[01:20] <ComputerHermit> I dont seee it in the fourm?
[01:20] <pavs> thanks guys it worked
[01:20] <ekimus> !barrazooo

[01:20] <arrenlex> Flannel: Okeydoke, sorry. I just came in.
[01:20] <Ferret> Should be a link there
[01:20] <soundray> n2diy: try it out
[01:20] <Kronuz> :)

[01:20] <hanbus1> slart: it went great, thanks, except one thing, how do i put stars in the boxes, ive tried every button
[01:20] <soundray> n2diy: should work

[01:20] <ilreds> guys, i've an athlon64, now i'm on ubuntu edgy i386, must i switch to ubuntu x86_64? i use my pc in a desktop way.
[01:21] <n2diy> soundray: roger
[01:21] <arrenlex> ilreds: Of course not. I advise you stick with a 32-bit distro.
[01:21] <Slart> hanbus1: stars in the boxes? ahh.. try space.. if that doesn't work.. try enter
[01:21] <soundray> ilreds: stick with i386, you'll be fine
[01:21] <Ferret> ilreds: If it works, why change? ;p
[01:21] <ilreds> it's true that there isn't flash and other thing for x86_64?
[01:21] <Slart> ilreds: no.. stick with 386
[01:21] <arrenlex> ilreds: Yes.
[01:21] <Slart> ilreds: kind of true.. yes
[01:21] <Flannel> brea: Those script authors need to code to the specifications.  There's absolutely no reason Ubuntu needs to cater to people who are too careless to follow standards.

[01:21] <ubotu> Flash 9 (Final release) is now available for dapper-backports and edgy-backports. See !backports and !flash
[01:21] <Ferret> ilreds: Yeah, you'd need to install a weird 32-bit version of mozilla
[01:21] <arrenlex> ilreds: "The other thing" is codecs.
[01:21] <soundray> ilreds: x86_64 is advantageous only for numbercrunching tasks, like video encoding
[01:22] <ilreds> ok, now i want use vmware server but my fresh ubuntu edgy installation is very slow, how can i speed-up it?
[01:22] <hanbus1> slart: how do i enable 1280x1024
[01:22] <pavs> ilreds from my personal experience dont switch to 86_64 you will miss out on some stuff, because not all softwares are ported in 64 bit, notable wine and flash, though there are some hacks available but they dont work as good, if at all
[01:22] <Slart> hanbus1: it's not selectable there in the list?
[01:22] <n2diy> soundray: it worked, and so did the spreadsheet, cool beans, tnx.
[01:23] <ilreds> pavs: ok, i stay on i386
[01:23] <hanbus1> slart: i starred it, but its not showing up, i got 832x624 instead...

[01:23] <soundray> n2diy: consider deleting openoffice.org2-backup from your $HOME then
[01:23] <breetai> anyone having luck with the bcm4318 of Feisty Fawn rc5 ???
[01:23] <n2diy> soundray: roger
[01:24] <kbd> breetai: native driver right?
[01:24] <pavs> breetai did bcm4318 worked for you on edgy, it doeasnt work for me on edgy 64bit
[01:24] <ardchoille> I'm trying to combine two different livecd's (Dapper and Edgy) into one livedvd. Does anyone know of a tutorial for this?
[01:24] <Slart> hanbus1: huuh? what kind of weird resolution is that?.. I usually uncheck almost all the resolutions there.. keep only the higher ones.. but you can change resolution in gnome.. System menu, preferences, resolution something
[01:24] <marx2k> in XChat, how do I set channels for auto-join?
[01:24] <breetai> I woud be happy with either. And I have had both working in edgy.
[01:24] <Kronuz> I mounted a DVD in a directory, how does Ogle know where is the disk?
[01:24] <Slart> hanbus1: System menu, preferences, Screen resolution
[01:25] <kbd> pavs: far as I know bcm43xx is still beta quality
[01:25] <soundray> breetai: ask in #ubuntu+1 please
[01:25] <kbd> breetai: did you upgrade to Feisty from Edgy?
[01:25] <hanbus1> slart: yeah, i ran the reconfig once, it got me back in, and then i ran it again to enable 1280x1024, and its not popping up on the list, although, the new weird res has been added to the list at the bottom
[01:25] <Kronuz> hey, I can open the image directly without mounting! :)
[01:25] <breetai> soundray is that another channel, if so, what is the +1 for? Does it mean tier 2 support? :)
[01:26] <Kronuz> tho' it crashed or something :P
[01:26] <n2diy> soundray: I can't delete it, I don't have permission to modify its parent folder!?!? Its my home folder, so why not?
[01:26] <soundray> breetai: it's the channel for feisty support
[01:26] <Slart> hanbus1: can you change resolution to the one you want in the gnome menu?
[01:26] <dking> anyone have any advice for dual booting with wubi?
[01:26] <dking> as in
[01:26] <dking> getting it to work?
[01:26] <pavs> kbd i am trying to make bcm4318 work for a long time, none of the online tutorials worked for me. instead I had to buy a 50$ linksys wireless. it works but not all the time.
[01:26] <breetai> Ah, thanks soundray for the advice
[01:26] <Slart> hanbus1: are you using nvidia or ati? or something else?
[01:26] <breetai> have a better one....
[01:27] <hanbus1> slart: no, 1024x768 is the max, thats why i ran the reconfig, to try and add 1280, and i did check the box, but it gave me this weird res, and im running ati
[01:27] <Kronuz> "failed opening the oss audio driver at /dev/dsp"
[01:27] <soundray> n2diy: not sure, but this is possibly the reason why you had problems. Try 'sudo rm -rf /home/yourusername/openoffice.org2-backup'
[01:27] <hanbus1> slart: i had 1280 working before, but it seemed to have gotten messed up
[01:27] <Slart> hanbush: have you checked the ATI driver install thingy?
[01:27] <soundray> Xenguy: join #ubuntu+1 and read the topic
[01:27] <Kronuz> then it says "ctrl: ipc_rmid: Invalid argument"
[01:27] <Slart> !ati > hanbus1

[01:28] <hanbus1> slart: let me run through the config again, and see whats up
[01:28] <Slart> hanbus1: it's a start.. don't know if that's what's stopping you from using 1280x1024.. but it's worth a try
[01:28] <soundray> n2diy: include everything between the 'quotes'

[01:28] <kazuka> hi soundray

[01:28] <soundray> Hi kazuka
[01:29] <soundray> musya3d: man adduser
[01:29] <pavs> kbd: yup ndiswrapper didnt work either.
[01:29] <BoBothn> ok i am trying to install something in with the pakage manager and it is asking for my password i put it in and it says wrong password
[01:29] <musya3d> how would i set his permisions? so when he ftps he cant look at previous dir.
[01:29] <kazuka> wow
[01:29] <kazuka> i got a new hobby again
[01:29] <kazuka> w00t
[01:29] <kbd> pavs: I have a built-in AirForce One 54g that I am using on Edgy which also worked on Dapper, on x86_64. I think there is hope for you.
[01:29] <soundray> BoBothn: it asks for the user password -- is that what you're entering?
[01:30] <theblue> Whoo!
[01:30] <qfour20> Hiya everybody.  How do I get the package manager to ignore a "misconfigured" package?
[01:30] <kbd> pavs: Are you on x86_64 as well?
[01:30] <BoBothn> i only have one user installed
[01:30] <n2diy> soundray: shouldn't that be .openoffice, not openoffice?
[01:30] <soundray> n2diy: no, remember the mv command? That renamed it.
[01:30] <BoBothn> i mean i only have one user account and one password
[01:30] <n2diy> soundray: roger
[01:30] <arrenlex> qfour20: You don't. You have to fix it. What package?
[01:31] <qfour20> mythtv
[01:31] <musya3d> soundray how can i set his permissions?
[01:31] <arrenlex> qfour20: Why is it misconfigured?
[01:31] <soundray> BoBothn: make sure you haven't accidentally left Capslock on
[01:31] <qfour20> arrenlex: my system thinks it needs to host the mysql database and such
[01:31] <pavs> kbd: I am hoping to buy a new laptop, i was wondering if there is somekind of compatible like of computers supported by ubuntu without any hitch, (or any other linux distro for that matter)
[01:31] <theblue> Seveas: Nice one, mate.
[01:31] <qfour20> arrenlex: but I just took mythfrontend from when it installed and configured him from in the gui of myth
[01:31] <soundray> musya3d: what do you mean by 'previous dir'?
[01:32] <pavs> like == list
[01:32] <musya3d> soundray so he cant look at root dirc. only his
[01:32] <arrenlex> qfour20: That's a debian package dependency. Why don't you install it?
[01:32] <BoBothn> i useing fiesty and after last update the password prompt changed it has a remember password box now and my password no longer works
[01:32] <Flannel> BoBothn: #ubunt+1 for feisty support
[01:32] <kbd> pavs: I wish. But I do get very good performance from this BCM4318
[01:32] <Xenguy> pavs: the Thinkpad/Leveno(sp?) are supposed to be quite h/w compatible with Linux
[01:32] <hanbus1> slart: fglrx drivers are not a good idea, they dont play nice with beryl
[01:32] <soundray> musya3d: set up ftpd to run in a chroot environment
[01:33] <arrenlex> Slart: fglrx works fine with beryl, just not aiglx. You'd need xgl instead.
[01:33] <qfour20> arrenlex: is it possible to skip dependencies, though?  similar to USE flags in gentoo (USE=frontendonly emerge mythtv)
[01:33] <soundray> BoBothn: ask in #ubuntu+1 please if you're using feisty
[01:33] <Slart> hanbus1: ok.. it's the same drivers you had before, right?
[01:33] <n2diy> soundray: it still appears in Nautilus, but ls tells me no such file or directory now, strange?
[01:33] <kbd> pavs: If would like any help getting ndiswrapper working with your card I would be glad to help.
[01:33] <pavs> kbd: I have rc2 I dont think that works very good with ndiswrapper, which one do you have?
[01:33] <Slart> hanbus1: arrenlex said "fglrx works fine with beryl, just not aiglx. You'd need xgl instead."
[01:33] <arrenlex> qfour20: No. The "official" way to resolve dependencies you don't want are to create and install an empty package of the same name. So no.
[01:34] <KeeNaF> guys .. I installed azureus from their website (not via add/remove) .. but, the azureus is not in application --> internet .. I need to using terminal to run azureus like cd Desktop and then ./azureus .. how to make azureus available in application --> internet??

[01:34] <hanbus1> slart: im not sure if im still running fglrx or not, messing with fglrx messed up my system in the first place, i was trying to delete them with some help from the beryl channel
[01:34] <pavs> kbd: you willing to walk me through? I think I removed ndiswrapper from my system, you might have to start from scratch
[01:34] <Xenguy> pavs: check for a 2nd opinion recommended :-)
[01:35] <soundray> pavs: tuxmobil.org is a great resource (listings of installation reports)
[01:35] <pavs> Xenguy: thanks I will look into it
[01:35] <Slart> hanbus1: hmm... you could try editing the xorg.conf file yourself..
[01:35] <Flannel> KeeNaF: That's not suprising.  The default Azureus wouldn't add anything, just install it.  You'll need to edit the menu yourself (Ala Carte menu editor) to add it
[01:35] <hanbus1> scary....

[01:37] <n2diy> soundray: no, and ls doesn't find it. In Nautilus, the directory icon is red, with a white x in it, properties tells me it is unreadable.
[01:37] <Kronuz> also, is there a way I can "capture" all the URLs that are being called in the system? In Windows I used URLSnooper
[01:37] <Flannel> KeeNaF: You'll need to use Alacarte Menu Editor (it's in your menu, somewhere) to edit

[01:39] <alexstacey> hi, can anyone tell me how to add an application to keyring manager so i don't have to type a passphrase every time i ssh / scp ? thanks
[01:39] <KeeNaF> Flannel | .. ok .. TQ ..

[01:39] <hanbus1> yeah
[01:39] <arrenlex> Kronuz: Sure it can, with w32codecs.
[01:39] <n2diy> soundray: ok, I'll give that a try.
[01:39] <Kronuz> arrenlex, I already got the win32 codecs and all, but it says it "can't parse that"
[01:39] <pavs> kbd: i followed this one before, but i think i will give it another go, be right back. I will login with konversation, javing problem with bitchx.

[01:46] <mambo> ill check that
[01:46] <kbd> mambo: btw, search the forums for info about beryl and edgy, I just show this one because I used it on my ATI equipped laptop
[01:46] <Kronuz> lol, thanks :)
[01:46] <soundray> n2diy: not sure -- maybe fsck will. When you have some time on your hand, do 'sudo touch /forcefsck' and reboot.
[01:46] <akar> please can anyone help me?
[01:46] <blaze> or mambo  you could even follow the forums at !forum
[01:46] <arrenlex> soundray: forcefsck sounds illegal.

[01:47] <arrenlex> soundray: :O
[01:47] <blaze> there is a very good guide which took me step by step how to install beryl with ATI and Ubuntu

[01:47] <pavs> kbd: yes
[01:47] <akar> [fglrx:firegl_init_pcie]  *ERROR* Invalid GART type 0.
[01:47] <blaze> type "beryl-config' at a console
[01:47] <abisen> any solution for installing flash / java plugin and realplayer on firefox in ubuntu for amd64
[01:47] <pavs> kbd do I put XX or do I have to actually put in the number
[01:48] <marx2k> Whats an easy method of telling what version of software you have installed?
[01:48] <mambo> all the tarballs i have downloaded are for kde....
[01:48] <abisen> even acroread is not available in the rpositories
[01:48] <kbd> mambo: change sessions at the GDM screen by clicking on Options and choosing "Change Session..." and choose Xgl
[01:48] <soundray> n2diy: yes, filesystem checking has to be done while filesystems are unmounted, so it's best done at boot.
[01:48] <marx2k> like what version 'tcpdump' is at... or 'wine' or something
[01:48] <blaze> mambo , I ment "beryl-manager"
[01:48] <n2diy> soundray: arrenlex, so does reboot, I gave that up with winders.
[01:48] <kbd> login and then from a terminal type beryl-manager
[01:48] <akar> i wasn't having this problem in suse
[01:48] <soundray> arrenlex: did that clear it up?
[01:48] <kbd> then right click on the ruby that shows up in the notification tray
[01:49] <arrenlex> soundray: I was making a joke about how the name sounds like rape xD I wasn't implying it doesn't do anything or that you don't know what you're talking about.

[01:49] <kbd> pavs: what shows up?
[01:50] <pavs> kbd nothing
[01:50] <kbd> pavs ok, good
[01:50] <colbert> arrenlex: I get the same error with gksudo :(

[01:51] <Kronuz> arrenlex, yep, it's working now
[01:52] <arrenlex> Kronuz: yw.
[01:52] <Kronuz> arrenlex, still, I think when I installed the win32 codecs I didn't restart Firefox
[01:52] <bioz> hello people i am linux noob can somebody tell me how to i login like root ? a sudo login root ? a somebody can tell me a ?
[01:52] <colbert> soundray: No I don't hehe :)
[01:52] <arrenlex> Kronuz: That doesn't matter.
[01:52] <Kronuz> so that might have been the problem :P
[01:52] <Kronuz> no?
[01:52] <eyecue> fark.
[01:52] <pavs> kbd do you want me to skip number 3?
[01:52] <soundray> bioz: you mean a root shell? Try 'sudo -i'
[01:53] <arrenlex> Kronuz: w32codecs are for the media player. Firefox doesn't know or care about them. You had to restart firefox when you changed the firefox plugins.
[01:53] <pavs> because the error is still there
[01:53] <bioz> ohh yea
[01:53] <bioz> thanks all
[01:53] <kbd> pavs yeah, it doesn't appear that you have any modules that would interfere with the card now

[01:58] <eyecue> apparently the method was changed recently.
[01:58] <kazuka> wow that was fast
[01:58] <Flannel> eyecue: if you've set a root password, you'll need it to login to the Recovery Console
[01:58] <Kronuz> now Galeon was set as the browser :S

[01:58] <kazuka> ubuntu is soooooo coooool
[01:58] <arrenlex> tux0010: to /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the device section.
[01:58] <eyecue> flan; the 2nd entry in the loader? its a no go
[01:58] <Flannel> eyecue: "no go" meaning what?
[01:58] <arrenlex> tux0010: Same section where the video card driver is specified.
[01:58] <eyecue> editing that line just shows a standard loader line minus splash and quiet, + single
[01:58] <Kronuz> why was that? how can I change it back to Firefox
[01:58] <gaten> ToddEDM:  do you know what file system it is?
[01:58] <pavs> sakobatoneka: I had this problem but only azureus would shut down not the computer, i think you have to reinstall java, atleast it worked for me
[01:59] <Flannel> eyecue: Er, you don't need to edit that line.  Run it.
[01:59] <eyecue> unless you mean something else by recovery console
[01:59] <ToddEDM> its NTFS

[01:59] <soundray> eyecue: are you on edgy?
[01:59] <foormea> ToddEDM, depends what kind of partition. windows can read and write ext2/ext2 (jsut careful of rights) using <cant.remember.what.prog.but.you'll.find.that.easily>
[01:59] <eyecue> same as editing the first 'with' single.
[01:59] <bibek> so i dont have the outerwindow??
[01:59] <VanessaE> evening all..
[01:59] <minttea> hello
[01:59] <foormea> ToddEDM, or you could share a fat32 or ntfs (using fuse).

[01:59] <ToddEDM> its a NTFS partition, that i want linux and windows to share

[02:00] <ToddEDM> ok thanks guys

[02:00] <VanessaE> Is it normal for Xorg to "steal" some colors from an otherwise 8bpp display (in StaticColor visual)?
[02:00] <eyecue> the closest ive come is with the rw init=/bin/bash, given a root@(unknown) shell
[02:00] <kbd> ok good

[02:01] <eyecue> ill tell you in a tick
[02:01] <Kronuz> arrenlex, it was firefox, but for some reason it just changed to galeon

[02:01] <arrenlex> Kronuz: No. That has nothing to do with it whatsoever.
[02:01] <EchoBinary> didn't see anythign with xorg in the install list
[02:02] <eyecue> URL for a livecd?
[02:02] <Flannel> eyecue: since the rescue console would require you to give the root password.
[02:02] <eyecue> any livecd ? ubuntu live cd
[02:02] <eyecue> recommendations.
[02:02] <Flannel> eyecue: Desktop CD
[02:02] <Flannel> eyecue: ubuntu will work fine
[02:02] <eyecue> can i boot the cd that the server was installed with ?
[02:02] <kbd> pavs: someone should have noted the link no longer works on that forum thread. I haven't registered on the forum yet though
[02:02] <Kronuz> arrenlex, that's what I thought... but now it's opening galeon and I did nothing :(
[02:02] <Flannel> eyecue: No, that's just an install CD
[02:02] <EchoBinary> if I want to install fluxbox as my main desktop from the server install what's the apt-get line? :(
[02:02] <EchoBinary> :) *
[02:02] <pavs> kbd thanks I am downloading
[02:02] <Flannel> eyecue: that (needing a CD to fix lost root password) is one reason ubuntu doesn't use the root account
[02:02] <arrenlex> Kronuz: Ask if someone can help you change your default browser.
[02:02] <eyecue> \Can you refer me to an URL for an an appropriate ISO for an appropriate LiveCD
[02:03] <Kronuz> perhaps it's a XChat thing
[02:03] <tux0010> arrenlex: still says opengl vendor is mesa
[02:03] <Kronuz> I'll check the configuration
[02:03] <blanky> hey guys I want to move a folder and everything in it to another place but it has some hidden files and folders how can I make sure it moves EVERYTHING

[02:04] <eyecue> wow, would have hoped for a correct mime type on that iso.
[02:04] <blanky> soundray: okay, but does it need a special flag or something
[02:04] <Flannel> eyecue: that wiki page gives instructions on re-setting passwords
[02:04] <eyecue> umm, will that boot a ui ?
[02:04] <soundray> blanky: no
[02:04] <Flannel> eyecue: Yes, its a liveCD
[02:04] <eyecue> gah.
[02:04] <eyecue> it wont touch the existing in stall i assume

[02:06] <tux0010> arrenlex: sorry, its being very slow
[02:06] <Flannel> EchoBinary: I just told you.  `sudo apt-get install fluxbox`, you'll need to enable universe though
[02:06] <arrenlex> tux0010: pastebin.com is ALWAYS slow. Please use ubuntu's pastebin or pastebin.ca

[02:09] <blanky> hey who was the one that told me to use mv
[02:09] <soundray> blanky: if you're moving gigabytes between filesystems, it can take some time. If you're moving within a filesystem, it should happen immediately
[02:09] <blanky> soundray: can I use cp to the same effect
[02:09] <LiENUS> how do i do the equivilant of excel's "set print area" in openoffice.org?
[02:09] <soundray> blanky: no, cp will copy. Read ubotu's private message:

[02:10] <blanky> would cp work?

[02:10] <blanky> haha, I know what the terminal is :) I was asking how I could make it so it'd do that
[02:10] <omegacenti> something akin to how fast microsoft IME is.

[02:10] <sakobatoneko> how can i make the sound work
[02:10] <kazuka> how do i change the default application to open my mp3s?
[02:10] <eyecue> Can I ask 'why' a LiveCD is required, and a single-user boot isnt possible using 'Edgy' ?
[02:11] <EchoBinary> Flannel: what do I install next? :)
[02:11] <omegacenti> What is a character input program?
[02:11] <tux0010> arrenlex: says GART is not initialized
[02:11] <arrenlex> tux0010: I can see that.
[02:11] <tux0010> arrenlex: so seems like the AGP is messed up
[02:11] <gyaresu> omegacenti: Is there nothing there on a switching tool (I've not had to do it myself)?
[02:11] <soundray> panfist: it's probably a server side problem. Be patient, or use another mirror.
[02:11] <blanky> eyecue: what do you mean livecd is required, get the alternate install disk
[02:11] <kbd> pavs ok, ifconfig -a will list all your interfaces, use sudo though if it won't let you
[02:11] <LiENUS> thank you n2diy
[02:11] <owner> does anyone have xammp installed
[02:11] <LiENUS> set print area would be nice :/

[02:11] <eyecue> so now its an alternate install disk?

[02:11] <eyecue> not the livecd?

[02:11] <plagerism> Hello, I just upgraded from feisty and everything seems good.  Just one little thing, I cant seem to figure out, after the upgrade the "Send/Receive" is greyed out in Evolution.  All my email is there, just can send and receive.  Anyone figure this one out?

[02:11] <omegacenti> gyaresu: something about Xfce XKB Plugin
[02:11] <panfist> soundray: i'm not sure it's server side because it says gzip is returning an error...i figured gzip should be pretty stable?
[02:12] <NickCz> to set print area highlight what you want then
[02:12] <pavs> kbd i see sit0 this is new it wasnt there befor
[02:12] <Flannel> plagerism: #ubuntu+1 for Feisty support
[02:12] <soundray> eyecue: no, you need the live CD
[02:12] <gyaresu> omegacenti: char input prog is where you click on each char with your mouse in a gui prog.
[02:12] <kbd> pavs: also, nvm bout the forum, someone did mention another location for the driver, I think.
[02:12] <eyecue> well, you better figure it out amongst yourself
[02:12] <kazuka> how do i change the default application to open my mp3s?
[02:12] <eyecue> im going on 2 hours for a root password reset.
[02:12] <omegacenti> noway would I like to do that.
[02:12] <eyecue> but i do appreciate the responses.
[02:12] <pavs> kbd the secodn location doesnt work either, i tried them both
[02:12] <soundray> panfist: it is. More likely, the gzipped file is not gzipped or corrupted. Hence server-side.
[02:12] <tux0010> arrenlex: hmm lemme read that
[02:12] <eyecue> fortunately it wasnt me who borked the install, or lost the pass
[02:12] <Flannel> eyecue: Desktop CD is the liveCD, you need that.  Alternate/Server/Minimal is an installer (the old textmode installer)
[02:12] <panfist> soundray: thanks!
[02:13] <eyecue> yeh no problem
[02:13] <NickCz> who watned to set print area?
[02:13] <eyecue> i dont care being on a cli
[02:13] <eyecue> ii just need a freakin root prompt :)
[02:13] <omegacenti> gyaresu: the guide you sent me looks like it is for xubuntu. Are they interchangeable?
[02:13] <gyaresu> eyecue: If you boot in 'single user mode' you won't need the password.
[02:13] <gyaresu> omegacenti: When it comes to keyboards yes. As I said, I've not personally done it.
[02:14] <eyecue> *rolls eyes*
[02:14] <pavs> eyesue root password reset is easy
[02:14] <eyecue> gy; you missed the preceding 2 hours.
[02:14] <DigitalNinja> How do I get rid of the text pop up on gnome? It's the one where you mouse over icons on the panel and a text description pops up

[02:14] <tux0010> arrenlex: its just that its having trouble with my AGP
[02:14] <gyaresu> eyecue: Right. Fancy a recap?
[02:14] <sakobatoneko> can any one tell me why
[02:14] <eyecue> i cant, but livecd is the only thing ive yet to try.
[02:14] <eyecue> sure gy

[02:16] <g3nocide> can anyone tell me why when i boot the ubuntu 6.10 dvd it loads up to a brown desktop, but there are no icons, windows, etc, jsut some random lines here and there and the mouse cursor (that looks and works fine)
[02:16] <Kronuz_> again my Ubuntu is frozen
[02:16] <blanky> Kronuz: what'd you do last
[02:16] <Frogzoo> g3nocide: you should have desktop icons/menus - so somethings not right
[02:16] <g3nocide> Frogzoo: i kinda figured that
[02:16] <Kronuz_> ... well sort of frozen, the mouse pointer is still working (again)
[02:16] <eyecue> Flannel; definitive is all i need, the method of success is not my concern :)
[02:16] <soundray> eyecue: is there only one OS on the system?
[02:16] <gyaresu> GionnyBoss: 'asoundconf list'
[02:17] <Kronuz_> and now the music is playing also (still)
[02:17] <eyecue> Correct.
[02:17] <tux0010> arrenlex: any ideas?
[02:17] <kbd> john_: you may have to right click the beryl icon in the notification tray and click refresh window decorator
[02:17] <GionnyBoss> gyaresu, thanks now I try it
[02:17] <john_> kbd: i'll try that
[02:17] <pavs> kbd at present i didnt setup my essid, because linksys adapter didnt work with it. last question, do i have to do ifconfig sit0 up everytime i restart or it should connect automatically?
[02:17] <gyaresu> GionnyBoss: Note the name of the card then 'asoundconf set-default-card _card_name_'
[02:17] <arrenlex> tux0010: If you've tried the commands in the forum and they don't produce any errors, nope.
[02:17] <g3nocide> Frogzoo: i see the ubuntu booting screen and what not, choose install/boot ubuntu (the first option) and then when it loads up i get a mouse cursor and random lines, maybe the image i downloaded is corrupt ?
[02:17] <soundray> eyecue: use my nick if you're responding to me please -- if your connection is slow like that, you might try DSL Linux instead.
[02:17] <Kronuz_> blanky, I didn't do anything
[02:17] <recon39> could someone please tell me how to get 3dchess to work on ubuntu I installed it from the synaptic package manager
[02:18] <GionnyBoss> gyaresu, how can I note the name of the card? what do you mean exactly?
[02:18] <john_> kbd: thanks, that does it
[02:18] <Flannel> eyecue: right, well, that's definitive.  Stop bugging people about it, there's no other way.
[02:18] <gyaresu> GionnyBoss: 'asoundconf list'
[02:18] <kbd> pavs: I'm not sure, if it doesn't do it automatically you can script that and make it a button on the bar
[02:18] <GionnyBoss> gyaresu, with asoundconf list I have no output
[02:18] <Frogzoo> g3nocide: sounds more like it's not detecting your vid card properly
[02:18] <pavs> kbd thanks again for all the help i really apprciate it.
[02:18] <kbd> john_: it used to do it automatically like the gnome theme settings manager but after an upgrade it stopped working :/
[02:18] <g3nocide> Frogzoo: i tried both the regular and safe graphics mode, i have an evga geforce 7800GT
[02:19] <gyaresu> Flannel: eyecue Have you tried livecd and chrooting into the / directory?
[02:19] <kbd> pavs: no problem, happyto be a utility!
[02:19] <omegacenti> yeah, Im totally lost, and this guide is not too helpful on what language codes there are.
[02:19] <Kronuz_> the weird how I can move the mouse pointer and the music is still playing
[02:19] <gyaresu> !jp | omegacenti
[02:19] <ubotu> omegacenti:  #ubuntu-jp  #kubuntu-jp 
[02:19] <kbd> pavs: oh also you could use network settings manager to make it the default interface
[02:19] <Kronuz_> but I can't do anything
[02:19] <john_> kbd: at least it's only 2 clicks, nothing serious.  thanks again
[02:19] <Kronuz_> the keyboard isn't responding either
[02:19] <GionnyBoss> gyaresu, I don't know why I get no output. I'd just like to make ALSA work with this Sound Blaster 16

[02:20] <infidel> sound blaster 16? wow.
[02:20] <EchoBinary> Flannel: okay ran #sudo apt-get remove linux-server linux-image-server
[02:20] <gyaresu> GionnyBoss: You should get a list of available sound cards... If you don't then it's not recognised and you have to go back to log files...

[02:21] <recon39> can I play dvd's with just a cdrw on ubuntu
[02:21] <recon39> does anyone know
[02:21] <GionnyBoss> infidel, it's my girlfriend computer... I installed ubuntu on it because Win ME was a real s**t
[02:21] <Flannel> EchoBinary: right.  You're done then.  You've got the generic kernel, removed the server, installed fluxbox.  You're good to go.
[02:22] <EchoBinary> so I run startx?
[02:22] <NickCz> i need help activating a partition is dmraid if anyone can plz help
[02:22] <infidel> GionnyBoss, and it's not working i take it?
[02:22] <gyaresu> GionnyBoss: May be a different problem but There are some soundblaster cards that (at least 12 months ago) were not recognised because they were software based. Does your card have a Game controler port on it? If so it's hardware based.

[02:22] <GionnyBoss> gyaresu, now I watch for Game controller port
[02:23] <nexousNET> Hi
[02:23] <OptimusPrimeRIb> Hi, does anyone have any experience enabling line-in on their audio cards?
[02:23] <EchoBinary> Error: could not connect to XServer.
[02:23] <sean13_> hey, anyone good with Ubuntu sound problems?
[02:23] <EchoBinary> ok, so I need to install XOrg
[02:23] <gyaresu> GionnyBoss: It's a pci sound card right?
[02:23] <Kronuz_> okay, I'm in (ssh)
[02:23] <GionnyBoss> gyaresu, yep, there's a game controller port
[02:23] <Kronuz_> what's next? :)
[02:23] <fizzmahon> quick question, you think its better to run feisty h5, 6.10 or 6.06?
[02:23] <poningru> !sound | sean13_
[02:23] <ubotu> sean13_: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[02:23] <GionnyBoss> gyaresu, I guess so, I didn't open the computer but it's a pentium III, so I doubt that there are ISA slots inside
[02:23] <Kronuz_> (everything's still frozen in the other box, the one I'm connected to using ssh)
[02:24] <gyaresu> GionnyBoss: Good. So now you need to see if it's recognised hardware. What does 'lspci' say?
[02:24] <soundray> fizzmahon: you need to decide for yourself
[02:24] <Flannel> EchoBinary: er, fluxbox should've depended on Xorg
[02:24] <infidel> GionnyBoss, what does lspci -v say about the card?
[02:24] <omgcopter> Hello, I have a AMD 64 X2 5000 dual core processor. I used to run Ubuntu on my old laptop and loved it, I'm thinking about putting it as my primary OS ont his computer also. But I use my PSP a lot and write to NTFS a lot. Will that be a problem? I remember I could never write files to my PSP and I'd hate to lose some 200 gigs of data on a NTFS external HDD
[02:24] <g3nocide> anyone wanna tell me why ubuntu looks like this when i boot the CD --> http://www.mattym.com/downloads/step_3.jpg
[02:24] <soundray> fizzmahon: the choice is between "under development", "stable" and "ultra-stable"
[02:24] <EchoBinary> Flannel: that's why im asking - it didn't
[02:24] <fizzmahon> soundray:: well im leaning to feisty but do you think it is stable enough to run yet?
[02:24] <hanbush> hey guys, i have a question, which is easier to install, beryl or compiz
[02:25] <Kronuz_> please, help me.. someone :)
[02:25] <Flannel> EchoBinary: er, no, apparently it doesn't.  Thats... stupid.  Yeah, go ahead and install it.  'xserver-xorg'
[02:25] <soundray> fizzmahon: I'm running it successfully on a production machine, but only because it won't run at all with edgy.
[02:25] <EchoBinary> thanks :)
[02:25] <Flannel> hanbush: #ubuntu-effects for beryl/compiz support, thanks
[02:25] <gyaresu> g3nocide: Probably res?
[02:25] <fizzmahon> soundray:: what is edgy?
[02:25] <Flannel> fizzmahon: #ubuntu+1 would be a better place to ask
[02:25] <gyaresu> !fixres | g3nocide
[02:25] <GionnyBoss> infidel, I can't see the soundcard with lspci -v ... I have Eternet controller, internal modem, video card and a lot of Intel stuff

[02:26] <GionnyBoss> gyaresu, infidel, do you think that it could be an ISA sound card? :O
[02:26] <GionnyBoss> maybe I should open the computer and see
[02:26] <soundray> fizzmahon: if you do decide to go for feisty, be prepared to deal with problems and to report them on launchpad.
[02:26] <DisabledBobcat> Good evening everyone, I just installed mysql on my ubuntu distro and  i get the error #2002 server not responding or mysql server socket is not configured
[02:26] <infidel> GionnyBoss, it probably is and in that case you need isapnptools
[02:26] <DisabledBobcat> how can i configure it?
[02:26] <|Jason8|> Hey guys, my mouse sensetivity was really high so I went to adjust it, and now it's really slow and I can't adjust the acceleration.  Any ideas why?  the slider reverts back to the lowest setting
[02:26] <gyaresu> GionnyBoss: p3. Not likely. So could you pastebin the 'lspci'
[02:26] <soundray> DisabledBobcat: have you changed /etc/mysql/my.cnf at all?
[02:26] <GionnyBoss> infidel, but I can't understand why loading the module 'sb' audio works for Totem

[02:27] <DisabledBobcat> soundray: no I have not, should I have?
[02:27] <fizzmahon> thanks soundray
[02:27] <soundray> DisabledBobcat: not necessarily. Can you ping 127.0.0.1?
[02:27] <GionnyBoss> gyaresu, wait I will pastebin lspci
[02:27] <infidel> GionnyBoss, yeah pastebin the lspci -v output and we'll look at it
[02:27] <|Jason8|> gyaresu, not what I was talking about...
[02:27] <infidel> GionnyBoss, you sure it's a p3?
[02:28] <DisabledBobcat> soundray: yes all come back quickly
[02:28] <gyaresu> GionnyBoss: |Jason8| Do you have a logitech mouse?
[02:28] <GionnyBoss> gyaresu, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9030
[02:28] <odix> why is installing java so hard ?
[02:28] <|Jason8|> gyaresu, no.  It just started this tonight.
[02:28] <Flannel> odix: It's not.  A single package.
[02:28] <odix> i see nothing for JRE in synaptics
[02:29] <odix> i mean jre
[02:29] <Flannel> odix: you need to enable multiverse
[02:29] <Flannel> !java | odix
[02:29] <ubotu> odix: 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
[02:29] <odix> how ?
[02:29] <soundray> DisabledBobcat: okay. Is mysqld running? Check with 'ps aux | grep mysqld\ ' (that's a space after the backslash)
[02:29] <Flannel> !multiverse | odix

[02:29] <GionnyBoss> gyaresu, sorry wrong link!
[02:29] <nf4> I dont think they gave me the right  grill on my car
[02:29] <infidel> GionnyBoss, that's not it
[02:29] <GionnyBoss> gyaresu, I copyed a wrong link from the other computer... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9032
[02:29] <Giod> ok im still stuck on this dual head thing. i dont get iy
[02:29] <Giod> it*

[02:30] <professor> hey all
[02:30] <infidel> GionnyBoss, that's an old ass box
[02:30] <professor> got a queston about wine
[02:30] <soundray> DisabledBobcat: it's not running. Try 'sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start', then try connecting again.
[02:30] <GionnyBoss> infidel, I know... this computer has a nickname... Lentium! Lento in italian is Slow :P lol
[02:30] <professor> what can I use to edit text files
[02:31] <soundray> Giod: do you have an nvidia card?
[02:31] <odix> hmm im still confused
[02:31] <kitche> professor: nano cli or gedit for gui'
[02:31] <infidel> GionnyBoss, open it up and see if it's isa i bet it is
[02:31] <Frogzoo> professor: gedit vim emacs nano ...
[02:31] <odix> i use synaptic package manager

[02:31] <professor> I have used nano, is gedit the same thing
[02:31] <blanky> hey is anyone here familiar with the zip command
[02:31] <comradec> can anyone please tell me what file ubuntu uses to load the windows manager from gdm, it doesn't want to use my xinit in my home directory even when I disable gdm and use startx
[02:31] <GionnyBoss> infidel, ok. Just a moment please. I turn off the computer and open it
[02:31] <soundray> DisabledBobcat: you've inserted one or more spaces that do not belong there
[02:31] <odix> can you just tell me how to enable multiverse ?
[02:31] <dabaR> !anyone | blanky
[02:31] <ubotu> blanky: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[02:32] <Frogzoo> professor: gedit has no sharp edges
[02:32] <tonyyarusso> !multiverse > odix
[02:32] <infidel> professor, no nano is console and gedit it widget or x
[02:32] <yanger> is there a way to detect if my cpu can do sse, sse2, sse3, etc?
[02:32] <nexousNET> How do I remove old networks from the Places menu?
[02:32] <GionnyBoss> infidel, if it's ISA, what can I do?

[02:32] <odix> !EasySource
[02:32] <yanger> ahh
[02:32] <dabaR> comradec: .dmrc maybe
[02:32] <infidel> GionnyBoss, you need isapnptools
[02:32] <DisabledBobcat> soundray: can you type the command again i'm copying yours exactly
[02:32] <soundray> DisabledBobcat: it's not running. Try 'sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start', then try connecting again.
[02:33] <GionnyBoss> infidel, and will it work just installing that package?
[02:33] <blanky> okay, fine. I'm writing a script that pretty much puts everything inside a certain folder into a zip file, using a command "zip -r myzip.zip .", problem is it's a checkout of an svn, so I made it "zip -r bots.pk3 . -x \*svn*", but it's only ignoring the first .svn folder and not the .svn folder inside each folder
[02:33] <blanky> does anyone know how to do that?
[02:33] <blanky> dabaR ?
[02:33] <infidel> GionnyBoss, yeah
[02:33] <yanger> has anyone here tried a dual boot ubuntu + mac os ?
[02:33] <soundray> yanger: yes. Is this a survey?
[02:33] <dabaR> blanky: svn export vs. svn checkout, is what I suggest.
[02:33] <tonyyarusso> blanky: I had to do things like *CVS*, */*CVS*, */*/*CVS* and so on
[02:33] <yanger> soundray, ... not really, just thinking of trying to attempt it
[02:33] <Generation> hey pple
[02:34] <GionnyBoss> infidel, thanks a lot! you guys are always great helping people here :)
[02:34] <blanky> tonyyarusso: daaaamn, sucks. dabaR well, then I'd have to export on each revision defeating the purpose of svn
[02:34] <gyaresu> GionnyBoss: Have a look at mine (messy cause I've upgraded it from many boxen over the years) http://gyaresu.org/xorg.conf
[02:34] <yanger> but just realized my cpu info: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse syscall mmxext 3dnowext 3dnow up ts ... doesn't have sse2 or sse3
[02:34] <dabaR> nexousNET: well, do you see the networks in the nautilus file manager when you open it?
[02:34] <infidel> GionnyBoss, not a problem
[02:34] <DisabledBobcat> soundray: is there a  way to make it start when my computer starts. apache does that already and i'm unsure how to set it up like that
[02:34] <soundray> yanger: it works here after creating a "Windows" partition with Bootcamp. Didn't have to install refit.
[02:34] <odix> im confused
[02:34] <blanky> ohh, according to the man page I can create an exclude.list
[02:34] <odix> how do i enable multiverse ?
[02:34] <soundray> DisabledBobcat: once you get it running for the first time, it will.
[02:34] <gyaresu> Giod: Have a look at mine (messy cause I've upgraded it from many boxen over the years) http://gyaresu.org/xorg.conf
[02:34] <odix> i just need sun-java5-jre
[02:34] <bibek> my automount is gone??
[02:34] <wastrel> uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuubuntu
[02:34] <Generation> odix, go into system
[02:34] <tux0010> ok so seems like my AGP is messed up
[02:34] <yanger> soundray, and you installed ubuntu onto the windows partition?
[02:34] <nexousNET> dabaR: no I screwed them up with the name for the windows network. Now I have nexous-dev and nexous-dev(2) in places menu
[02:35] <Ferret> blanky: you could always use find to delete the stuff you don't want first
[02:35] <soundray> yanger: no, I put it on a second drive.
[02:35] <Generation> then synaptic package man
[02:35] <tux0010> please can anyone help me figure out how to fix my AGP?
[02:35] <yanger> er .. heh
[02:35] <gyaresu> GionnyBoss: Last message not for you. Nick completion error :)
[02:35] <odix> there..
[02:35] <GionnyBoss> gyaresu, are you sure that was for me?
[02:35] <Generation> ok from there
[02:35] <wastrel> what's agp
[02:35] <blanky> Ferret: no I need the svn stuff to continue to receive updates heh
[02:35] <dabaR> odix: read this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories
[02:35] <GionnyBoss> gyaresu, ok I guessed it :P no problem!
[02:35] <Generation> settings
[02:35] <Generation> resp
[02:35] <bibek> my flash drives do not automount how come??
[02:35] <dabaR> nexousNET: what about right click and unmount, does it allow that?
[02:35] <Generation> got it
[02:35] <recon39> sorry I got disconneted
[02:35] <odix> ya
[02:35] <Generation> lol
[02:36] <gyaresu> GionnyBoss: So, yes. Back to you. Your card is not even listed as unkown.
[02:36] <Generation> and just click
[02:36] <odix> thanks ;] 
[02:36] <gyaresu> GionnyBoss: What's that about?
[02:36] <Generation> np
[02:36] <nexousNET> dabaR: on right click it opens it still.
[02:36] <Generation> your the first person I ever helped
[02:36] <Ferret> blanky: Ahh, OK... well if zip excluding doesn't cut it, perhaps use some other format, or if that isn't going to work, use rsync to copy the files to a temp location (which has excellent exclusion capabilities) and then zip from there
[02:36] <Generation> Im a noob
[02:36] <recon39> does anyone know how to start up the 3dchess game on ubuntu?
[02:36] <odix> same.
[02:36] <blanky> Ferret: that's overkill
[02:36] <blanky> Ferret: thanks I'll figure it out
[02:36] <bibek> my flash drives do not automount how come??
[02:36] <DisabledBobcat> soundray: there isnt a mysql in /etc/init.d/
[02:37] <GionnyBoss> gyaresu, I guess that that this is an ISA card. It doesn't appear in lspci output... Now I'm waiting my girlfriend to take something to open the computer but I think I will try to install isapnptools
[02:37] <Ferret> blanky: Well, that's a few options for you... any of the possibilities you should be able to script something
[02:37] <Frogzoo> bibek: dapper or edgy?
[02:37] <bimberi> blanky: try '-x .svn'
[02:37] <soundray> recon39: use 'dpkg -L packagename' to get a package listing. Look out for names in /usr/bin
[02:37] <bibek> edgy
[02:37] <dabaR> nexousNET: open nautilus.
[02:37] <gyaresu> GionnyBoss: Yeah cool.
[02:37] <Frogzoo> bibek: tail -f /var/log/messages  & plug it in
[02:37] <bibek> Frogzoo, it was working on edgy but i updates ome packages to feisty :(
[02:37] <blanky> bimberi: will try
[02:37] <Frogzoo> bibek: well then...
[02:37] <soundray> DisabledBobcat: then it's not installed, or not installed from a ubuntu .deb package
[02:37] <nexousNET> dabaR: how? sorry I'm a bit of a n00b
[02:38] <recon39> I installed it through synaptic package manager
[02:38] <dabaR> nexousNET: open your home folder
[02:38] <nexousNET> okay.
[02:38] <soundray> recon39: still
[02:38] <bibek> Frogzoo, it does detect a new high speed usb device
[02:38] <GionnyBoss> infidel, what was the package again for ISA?
[02:38] <dabaR> nexousNET: do you have a view menu?
[02:38] <Frogzoo> bibek: feisty is alpha for a reason
[02:38] <nexousNET> yes
[02:38] <GionnyBoss> infidel, I have only isag and isakmpd in my repos
[02:38] <blanky> bimberi: no that wont do heh
[02:38] <recon39> I just dont know how to get it to run
[02:38] <dabaR> nexousNET: do you have side pane in it?
[02:38] <kazuka> wow
[02:38] <bibek> Frogzoo, humm yeah
[02:38] <kazuka> google is rocking
[02:38] <Generation> are there any good games for Linux
[02:38] <nexousNET> dabaR: yes
[02:38] <bibek> Frogzoo, so im stuck? :)
[02:38] <infidel> GionnyBoss, yeah you need isapnptools
[02:38] <dabaR> nexousNET: open that.
[02:39] <GionnyBoss> infidel, where can I get it? google? :P
[02:39] <nexousNET> dabaR: it is open.
[02:39] <soundray> !games > Generation, read ubotu's pm
[02:39] <Frogzoo> bibek: which package did you 'upgrade' ?
[02:39] <infidel> GionnyBoss, http://ftp.riken.go.jp/pub/Linux/ubuntu/pool/universe/i/isapnptools/
[02:39] <dabaR> Then do you have a drop-down in the side pane, with a tree option?
[02:39] <earthen> anyone know if blutooth works better in feisty
[02:39] <bibek> Frogzoo, lots of :) is there a particular package that controls usb automounts?
[02:39] <gyaresu> !feisty | earthen
[02:39] <ubotu> earthen: The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn"), it should be released in April 2007. At the moment it is alpha.

[02:39] <Generation> sound what???
[02:39] <recon39> ok thanks
[02:39] <nexousNET> dabaR: yes.
[02:40] <Frogzoo> bibek: best plan reinstall
[02:40] <dabaR> nexousNET: open that, and do you see your connections there?
[02:40] <g3nocide> so it seems like ubuntu really dislikes the geforce 7800 series cards. i run the installer and when i should se the gnome desktop (booting the dvd) i just get jibberish with a brown backgrounda nd a working mouse, anyone know of a way to get around this? if i do a text install, will i be able to get the proper drivers working after or does ubuntu have the 7800's  in general ?
[02:40] <GionnyBoss> infidel, cool... thanks a lot
[02:40] <soundray> !games > Generation, read the private message from ubotu
[02:40] <earthen> Frogzoo, well i can't see it being much worse! LOL
[02:40] <gyaresu> g3nocide: are you using envy to install?
[02:40] <g3nocide> gyaresu: i ahve 6.10
[02:40] <blanky> I think \*svn\* will do
[02:40] <bibek> Frogzoo, i thought hal should do it
[02:40] <Generation> thanks
[02:40] <bibek> Frogzoo, thx anyways
[02:40] <g3nocide> gyaresu: i need to install 6.06 and upgrade ???
[02:41] <gyaresu> !envy | g3nocide
[02:41] <ubotu> g3nocide: 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
[02:41] <infidel> GionnyBoss, another thing you might have to do it select it in your kernel
[02:41] <marx2k> Hmm... Im wondering how easy it will be to switch out the NVidia from my downstairs computer with the ATI Radeon on my upstairs computer
[02:41] <marx2k> (Im on my upstairs computer)
[02:41] <blanky> yeah, \*svn\* does it :D
[02:41] <marx2k> (AND get the TV Out working on the downstairs comp) :)
[02:41] <g3nocide> gyaresu: the damn os isnt even installed yet, th installer gives me jibberish, this is the second time you've sent me something TOTALLY unrelated
[02:41] <odix> how can i run gnome instead of kde...i got gnome installed..
[02:41] <GionnyBoss> infidel, you mean re-compile the kernel?
[02:41] <gyaresu> g3nocide: sorry. You're trying to install. I see that now.
[02:41] <dabaR> odix: choose the gnome session at the login menu
[02:41] <soundray> marx2k: run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and set driver to vesa before you switch.
[02:42] <soundray> !tvout > marx2k
[02:42] <gyaresu> g3nocide: Yes you should start yelling that'll help.
[02:42] <marx2k> soundray, good advice
[02:42] <infidel> GionnyBoss, maybe buy what does modprobe say, anything?
[02:42] <g3nocide> gyaresu:  every post i find, the only thing the people have in common with this problem is the video card. am i safe to just do a textual install and then set up teh drivers after, or will the video still be borked ?
[02:42] <soundray> marx2k: I know, I've done it :)
[02:42] <kazuka> omg google rockzors
[02:42] <bimberi> blanky: cool.  take care that none of the files themselves contain that string (unlikely)
[02:43] <gyaresu> g3nocide: A text install should be fine. Then you can setup the resolution (which is most likely the reason)
[02:43] <blanky> yeah they dont :) thanks though
[02:43] <andre_> Can anyone tell me where to find information about setting my 5.1 surround speakers to work?
[02:43] <soundray> kazuka: wrong channel
[02:43] <GionnyBoss> infidel, what do you mean? modprobe does not output anything
[02:43] <g3nocide> gyaresu: waht i dont get is the fact that the mouse cursor looks absolutely fine (and even works), yet the screen is like this... http://www.mattym.com/downloads/step_3.jpg
[02:43] <andre_> kazuka,  you won't find people who think 1337 is cool here
[02:43] <infidel> GionnyBoss, looks like it's by default in the kernel, did you do a modinfo sb?
[02:44] <gyaresu> g3nocide: Yeah I saw that. Weird eh?
[02:44] <soundray> DisabledBobcat: working now?
[02:44] <andre_> kazuka,  ps everyone already know google is cool
[02:44] <g3nocide> yeah, it's pretty wacky. i wonder if they'll have that resolved as of 7.04
[02:44] <kazuka> lol
[02:44] <kazuka> google check marks looks like amazon stuff
[02:44] <techie_> hi all. Can anybody help? Just because Ubuntu offers bluetooth capability that does not necessarily mean that my computer does have bluetooth, does it?
[02:45] <kazuka> but why did they do it like that
[02:45] <GionnyBoss> infidel, module sb exists. But if I load it... it works only OSD and only Totem works with audio. All other programs doesn't work (like XMMS or audio from flash plugin in firefox)
[02:45] <soundray> techie_: that's correct
[02:45] <GionnyBoss> infidel, sorry... OSS, not OSD.
[02:45] <gyaresu> techie_: No. You need a bluetooth device.
[02:45] <soundray> tonyyarusso: are you there?
[02:45] <tonyyarusso> soundray: yep
[02:45] <gyaresu> techie_: bluetooth usb adapter or something.
[02:45] <techie_> Thanks soundray and gyaresu. I have them in my laptop but not in this old computer at home.
[02:46] <g3nocide> gyaresu: i guess im off to do a text install
[02:46] <g3nocide> heh
[02:46] <g3nocide> bbl
[02:46] <sivik> anyone having any kind of problems with xine lately?
[02:46] <g3nocide> if all goes well
[02:46] <infidel> GionnyBoss, might have to switch from alsa to oss
[02:46] <gyaresu> g3nocide: see you soon.
[02:46] <sivik> i can't get it to play anything anymore
[02:46] <h1st0> sivik: someone made a post on a forums about not being able to play wmv anymore.
[02:46] <techie_> gyaresu or soundray... also what's the best way to capture data via usb cable from handheld recorder to ubuntu pc
[02:46] <andre_> Can anyone tell me where to find information about getting my 5.1 surround speakers to work?
[02:46] <techie_> ?
[02:46] <GionnyBoss> infidel, and how can I do that? The only thing I want is that audio works.
[02:46] <h1st0> sivik: www.ubuntuforums.org  check in the absolute beginner section.
[02:46] <gyaresu> techie_: define 'handheld recorder'
[02:47] <gyaresu> !sound | andre_
[02:47] <ubotu> andre_: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[02:47] <kazuka> the checkmark in google pages looks like amazon
[02:47] <soundray> techie_: do you mean a video camcorder?
[02:47] <techie_> gyaresu. the panasonic rr_us380 which is tiny and transfer data via usb cable in xp but not in here
[02:47] <techie_> soundray, gyaresu, No, it is a voice digital recorder
[02:47] <Generation> hey guys
[02:47] <sivik> h1st0, its not a newbie issue, it just started doing it
[02:47] <techie_> It can only tranfer via usb cable.
[02:47] <tonyyarusso> !offtopic | kazuka
[02:47] <Generation> how do I load a tz package
[02:48] <ubotu> kazuka: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[02:48] <dabaR> kazuka: are you asking a question related to using your ubuntu system?
[02:48] <h1st0> sivik: I understand but if you check there they might have a solution since it seems to be a new problem.
[02:48] <techie_> Soundray and gyaresu the problem is that there are no drivers for linux.
[02:48] <techie_> I already checked with the Panasonic people
[02:48] <sivik> ok
[02:48] <kazuka> sort
[02:48] <soundray> techie_: if you're lucky, it works as a USB mass storage device. If not, you'll have to reverse-engineer the Windows drivers and write some for Linux.
[02:48] <gyaresu> techie_: Try and give a link to the device and info when you ask questions. Saves the helper from searching/guessing.
[02:48] <kazuka> sorry
[02:48] <infidel> GionnyBoss, open a terminal and type in gnome-control-center and go to sound
[02:48] <Generation> anyone know how to get a TZ package unloaded
[02:49] <kazuka> wow with ubuntu i could browse the web in 15 minutes
[02:49] <kazuka> wow
[02:49] <dabaR> kazuka: no need to be sorry, I was just wondering whether this was related to using your Ubuntu system.
[02:49] <techie_> soundray. assuming it does how do you set up as a mass storage device (though I doubt it)
[02:49] <kazuka> yes
[02:49] <tbuhler> i have a problem with synaptic
[02:49] <kazuka> well firefox and ubuntu
[02:49] <kazuka> lmao
[02:49] <kazuka> this is sooo cool
[02:50] <GionnyBoss> infidel, yes but I tryed this before and audio doesn't work with flash plugin or xmms. Maybe should I set those program to use OSS?
[02:50] <GionnyBoss> infidel, audio with Totem works
[02:50] <gyaresu> techie_: I can't find the website link but it's going to depend on whether it acts like a 'storage device' or whether it uses propritary software only available for windows...
[02:50] <soundray> techie_: mass storage devices mount automatically. Run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' while you plug it in to find out what ubuntu does with the device. Compare to when you plug in a memory stick.
[02:50] <kazuka> OMG
[02:50] <kazuka> rokzor
[02:50] <techie_> soundray... how about this idea... I have the installation software which came with the gyzmo. How about if I copy it to a folder and then try running it via wine!
[02:50] <gyaresu> !offtopic | kazuka
[02:50] <ubotu> kazuka: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[02:50] <infidel> GionnyBoss, i think you need to use an oss wrapper
[02:51] <dabaR> kazuka: we are very glad you think your Ubuntu system is cool. However, due to the number of messages that the channel receives in a minuted, please keep the messages you send to #ubuntu to support requests. If you would like to chat, I am suer someone will be glad to do so at #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:51] <marx2k> whats the best way to bring down gdm and bring it back up again from the command line?
[02:51] <techie_> the link would be panasonic.com and then do search on products for RR-US380 for the handheld recorder and look for drives.
[02:51] <soundray> techie_: it's very unlikely to work. Drivers generally tie in closely with the OS kernel.
[02:51] <GionnyBoss> infidel, what do you mean with that? should I install some package or what?
[02:51] <dabaR> marx2k: I use sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart
[02:51] <tonyyarusso> marx2k: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart
[02:51] <techie_> soundray. i see
[02:51] <marx2k> thanks
[02:51] <gyaresu> marx2k: 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart'
[02:51] <dabaR> weird
[02:51] <techie_> well, if i have to i can always go back via dual boot to the xp and do the recording that way.
[02:52] <jonsebolt> good evening all. anyone familiar with citrix client use in ubuntu?
[02:52] <gyaresu> dabaR: tonyyarusso invoke-rc.d ???
[02:52] <infidel> GionnyBoss, no, you driver works but the apps need support
[02:52] <omegacenti> gyaresu:  Okay, so I think I found an exact item on how to install japanese: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installing_Japanese_Input_and_Fonts?highlight=%28japanese%29
[02:52] <techie_> soundray. But don't we have a recording device in Ubuntu I can use even if I have to sit at the computer while I do it.
[02:52] <techie_> ?
[02:52] <tonyyarusso> gyaresu: Yeah, it's the "proper" way, for whatever that's worth
[02:52] <sivik> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9034/, whats the problem
[02:52] <soundray> techie_: do contact Panasonic about it as well. It won't help immediately, but it's good if they see that there is demand for Linux drivers.
[02:52] <techie_> soundray. I already did
[02:52] <GionnyBoss> infidel, ok thanks. But I can't understand why if I run application like gnome-control-center or gedit from the console, I can see on the console ALSA errors
[02:53] <tbuhler> i have an error from [trying to]  install virtual box, and it totally messed up my Synaptic Package Manager. Also, any packages redownloaded from Virtual Box is 'corrupt', even a fresh package
[02:53] <gyaresu> tonyyarusso: I didn't get a memo...
[02:53] <dabaR> gyaresu: that invokes the script, and there are some checks to see whether it is safe to run that command at the time, which are not done when you run the script directly.
[02:53] <ghetek> how do i make my usb gps unit work in gpsdrive?
[02:53] <infidel> GionnyBoss, what are the errors?
[02:53] <soundray> techie_: if you can engage them in a dialogue, tell them that the community will write drivers for them if they publish the specifications.
[02:53] <gyaresu> dabaR: cheer mate.
[02:53] <techie_> soundray.... what are the commands to learn about ubuntu terminal from ubotu besides !cli ... any others?
[02:53] <gyaresu> *cheers
[02:53] <tonyyarusso> soundray, techie_: btw, the RCA RP5035A digital voice recorder works perfectly
[02:53] <techie_> soundray. that's a great idea
[02:53] <gyaresu> techie_: 'vimtutor'
[02:53] <dabaR> techie_: whichever one you need at the time you need it.
[02:54] <GionnyBoss> infidel, uff I just restarted the computer... it was something with ALSA lib "No device found" . Now I'm trying to restart the computer with sb module loaded in etc/modules
[02:54] <techie_> vimtutor
[02:54] <techie_> ?
[02:54] <techie_> !vimtutor
[02:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about vimtutor - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:54] <Flannel> techie_: run 'vimtutor'
[02:54] <gyaresu> techie_: It's a vim tutorial. Run it in a terminal.
[02:55] <techie_> Flannel at the terminal. i got it.
[02:55] <sivik> is there some sort way to fix: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9034/
[02:55] <wastrel> i lurve me some vim
[02:55] <wastrel> <3
[02:55] <soundray> techie_: check out the topic of the channel #bash -- very valuable stuff there
thanks about how many hours of recording.
[02:55] <GionnyBoss> infidel, if it works with GNOME applications as Totem, I guess it should work with other apps using an OSS wrapper, right?
[02:55] <DisabledBobcat> soundray: i'm still lost
mine is about 8 hours of complete recording
[02:55] <dabaR> sivik: do you have the mp3 codecs installed?
about how much?
[02:55] <GoldeNArX> hey guys
[02:56] <DisabledBobcat> soundray: i even uninstalled and reinstalled mysql/phpmyadmin and it's still not working. that mysql file in init.d just doesnt exist
[02:56] <sivik> dabaR, yes, because it just started doing that today
[02:56] <GoldeNArX> I was in earlier today looking for some help on getting wireless to work on ubuntu
[02:56] <GoldeNArX> anyone got a few moments to help out?
[02:56] <sivik> GoldeNArX, what card?
[02:56] <techie_> sounday... thanks.
[02:56] <tonyyarusso> techie_: It's 128 MB and encodes to mp3 on the fly.  a sec
[02:56] <DisabledBobcat> soundray: i'm using sudo apt-get install php4-mysql to get it, and i do have php4 installed on my computer
[02:56] <GoldeNArX> intel 3945abg
[02:56] <soundray> tonyyarusso: thanks... it seems they don't market it to the UK
[02:56] <blanky> guys if I want to run a program on startup where do I put it
[02:56] <blanky> what script
[02:56] <sivik> GoldeNArX, not sure about intel crap
[02:56] <blanky> dabaR, bimberi ?
[02:56] <soundray> DisabledBobcat: you need to install mysql-server
[02:56] <Giod> gyaresu: what exactly am i supposed to do to get the duals to work
[02:56] <GoldeNArX> sivik there are some guides but I cant seem to get past the 80211 install part
[02:56] <Flannel> DisabledBobcat: and with --purge too
[02:56] <andre_> Can anyone tell me where to find information about getting my 5.1 surround speakers to work?
[02:56] <soundray> DisabledBobcat: read the pm from ubotu
[02:56] <ramza3> what is the quickest way to set the show desktop command to "WINDOWS-KEY D" I cant seem to set it with the gui config
[02:56] <soundray> !lamp > DisabledBobcat
[02:57] <sivik> GoldeNArX, not sure, i have never installed with an intel wireless card since i don't use intel
[02:57] <dabaR> blanky: on startup of what?
[02:57] <blanky> of my computer, haha
[02:57] <blanky> something called .xinitrc or something?
[02:57] <blanky> basically
[02:57] <dabaR> the computer or the GUI are common things people mean when they say that...
[02:57] <blanky> how can I make it so that the 'checkgmail' program runs on startup
[02:57] <GoldeNArX> sivik,  gotcha can I pm you the error im getting to see if you have any feedback for me?
[02:57] <GionnyBoss> infidel, I get ALSA lib confmisc.c:60: (snd_func_card_driver) cannot find card '0'. And a lot of messages like this one
[02:57] <gyaresu> Giod: Have you done a search for dual display. There's a good one from gentoo-wiki. You can use my xorg.conf as a guide...
[02:57] <dabaR> blanky: which is a gui program or a cli one?
[02:57] <blanky> gui
[02:58] <sivik> GoldeNArX, sure
[02:58] <bimberi> blanky: at computer startup or user login?
[02:58] <dabaR> blanky: see, that is not on startup of your computer:P
[02:58] <blanky> user login
[02:58] <gyaresu> Giod: Have you got your nvidia/ati drivers setup yet?
[02:58] <sivik> GoldeNArX, did you try googling the error?
[02:58] <blanky> yeah I guess >:(
[02:58] <dabaR> hehe
[02:58] <GoldeNArX> sivik I did but didnt get much response
[02:58] <gyaresu> !prefix > blanky
[02:58] <DisabledBobcat> soundray: thanks. i'll take a look at that. I appriciate the help a lot. i just switched to linux and at times it's overwhelming
[02:58] <andre_> Giod: are you using an nvidia card?
[02:58] <GoldeNArX> there are people who have this working
where did you buy it and about how much? I am googling it but do not find it.
[02:58] <Giod> gyaresu: its nvidia
[02:58] <dabaR> bimberi: be my gues.
[02:58] <dabaR> t
[02:58] <blanky> gyaresu: they know who I'm talking to
[02:58] <bimberi> blanky: System -> Preferences -> Sessions, Startup Programs
[02:58] <blanky> thanks, I knew it was something in sessions!
[02:58] <bimberi> dabaR: gee thanks ;P
[02:58] <blanky> thanks bimberi and dabaR
[02:58] <gyaresu> blanky: do it anyway. It's always noisy in here...
[02:58] <Giod> gyaresu: and no im using a fresh install

[02:59] <Giod> andre_: nvidia
[02:59] <andre_> giod: install the nvidia drivers... it's dirt simple to do dual monitors that way
[03:00] <soundray> DisabledBobcat: no problem. Do use the help pages, though -- it's easier to get help here if you can say exactly what you've tried and how it has failed.
[03:00] <andre_> I can guide you through it if you want, but I'll be telling you to use the binaries.  I should guide you via private msg since it isn't officially supported by Ubuntu

[03:01] <blanky> man I have this tiny tiny program and I need to figure out how to make a deb for it as quickly as possible
[03:01] <tonyyarusso> techie_: Maybe.  I'll try to get you a link.  Back in a few.
[03:01] <GionnyBoss> infidel, thanks for all your help. I noticed that if I set applications to use OSS it works. So now my problem will be to set all applications which use audio to use OSS. I will do it tomorrow, now I go to sleep. XMMS works now. Thanks again. Bye

[03:02] <dabaR> blanky: the reward is well worth the effort:)
[03:02] <Flannel> computer13137: ndiswrapper is in the repositories
[03:02] <computer13137> No just to install whatever it is on.
[03:02] <infidel> GionnyBoss, no problem wish i could have done more
[03:02] <blanky> dabaR: meh, more like overkill
[03:02] <akao> Can anyone help me get gcc compiler up and working?
[03:02] <Flannel> akao: install 'build-essential'
[03:02] <gyaresu> computer13137: From what though? Some tar.gz from the interweb? What are you trying to 'make' a .deb out of?
[03:02] <computer13137> Nope, the repositories aren't accessable, as the ndiswrapper is required for the network card. :P
[03:02] <tonyyarusso> techie_: Yeah, it mounts like a standard USB thumb drive, drag and drop in nautilus
[03:02] <GionnyBoss> infidel, no problem! You did a lot, it's ok :) Thanks. Bye!
[03:02] <soundray> akao: 'sudo apt-get install build-essential'

[03:02] <infidel> GionnyBoss, bye
[03:02] <gyaresu> soundray: Sorry. Just re-read 'execute'
[03:02] <Flannel> computer13137: use apt-cdrom to add the repository on the CD, then install ndiswrapper from that
[03:02] <computer13137> It's from the universe repository.

[03:06] <soundray> sdrev: 'apropos keycode' would have found you that answer.
[03:06] <doppelganger_> gyaresu:  if you get some time in a minute, i'd like to pick your brain a bit about the vmware deal
[03:06] <techie_> gyaresu, installing it as we speak.
[03:06] <gyaresu> minttea: :q or :wq (write and quit)
[03:07] <infidel> sdrev, showkey -s but you need to go to console for it to work
[03:07] <gyaresu> doppelganger_: I'm at a clients waiting for a virus scan to finish so you better make it quick.
[03:07] <sdrev> ok, i just tried it out, thanks
[03:07] <soundray> infidel: ts, so slow ;)
[03:07] <emet2> hello
[03:07] <doppelganger_> gyaresu:  oh gawd, lol
[03:07] <recon31> does anyone in here know how to get that 3dchess game to work its an x11 game
[03:07] <gyaresu> !welcome | emet2
[03:07] <ubotu> emet2: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel.
[03:07] <emet2> how do I get LAMP working
[03:07] <soundray> recon31: have you tried my suggestion?
[03:07] <emet2> gyaresu, thank you
[03:08] <recon31> I can not find any info on it
[03:08] <doppelganger_> gyaresu:  i'm using alsa..  are there any specific things i need to configure to get proper sound out of these VM's?
[03:08] <recon31> yes i did
[03:08] <minttea> gyaresu: that helped, thank you
[03:08] <emet2> what packages should I install to get myself some apache and mysql goodness
[03:08] <doppelganger_> i've installed multiple ones, and none of them ever have sound
[03:08] <tonyyarusso> techie_, soundray : http://www.rcaaudiovideo.com/en-US/modeldetail.html?ProductID=RP5035    36 hours at low-quality
[03:08] <gyaresu> emet2: Are you installing from the server iso or the desktop?
[03:08] <soundray> recon31: and what did you find?
[03:08] <sdrev> unfortunately it doesn't register my wireless button....which doesn't turn off my wireless card...it just seems to change the LED on and off :-\
[03:08] <tonyyarusso> !lamp | emet2
[03:08] <ubotu> emet2: 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+)
[03:08] <emet2> gyaresu, desktop
[03:08] <skiloup> Are there known problems with Edgy handling SATA controllers or SATA drives?
[03:08] <emet2> thanks
[03:08] <gyaresu> emet2: Best bet would be to follow a guide from http://howtoforge.com IMHO
[03:08] <recon31> the name was 3d chess and it is an x11 game
[03:08] <wastrel> skiloup:  i asked this question t'other day and folks said not
[03:09] <soundray> recon31: hit Alt-F2 and enter 3Dc
[03:09] <soundray> recon31: (case sensitive)
[03:09] <infidel> sdrev, what are you trying to do?
[03:09] <recon31> ok thanks
i just installed it and vimtutor is now there
thanks.
[03:09] <soundray> recon31: it should install to Applications-Games as well
[03:09] <gyaresu> techie_: Enjoy. It's a good start.
[03:09] <doppelganger_> gyaresu:  or hell..  i'm having nat issues as well, which is much more important. Is there any way i could get you to pastebin your vmware-nat.conf file so i can tweak it to work
[03:09] <sdrev> i'd like my wireless button to turn my wireless card on and off...it's not a switch, just a button
[03:10] <skiloup> wastrel: I get kernel messages showing i/o errors on my drive... I have a semi-length dump if that would be useful
[03:10] <soundray> sdrev: is it on an Acer laptop by any chance?
[03:10] <Flannel> recon31: you install it, and then I believe the command is "3dc"
[03:10] <recon31> says it can not open it
[03:10] <Yuske> hi there
[03:10] <sdrev> soundray, no, averatec 3200
[03:10] <Ferret> sdrev: That should be easy, provided that they show events in xev
[03:10] <recon31> ok thanks
[03:10] <infidel> sdrev, yeah i know mine doesn't work either it does tuen it off but not on
[03:10] <Kronuz> I figured it was Beryl the one freezing the computer
[03:10] <sdrev> Ferret, it doesn't show in xev :(
thanks I got the link. So basically you insert it directly to the usb or does it work with a cable?
[03:11] <GoldeNArX> jesus
[03:11] <GoldeNArX> there has to be a way to get this to work
[03:11] <Yuske> could u guys gimme a hand? whenever I try to play dvds on totem it says that I don't have the codecs installed,even tough I've already installed them...
[03:11] <akao> soundray: that worked great, thanks.
[03:11] <infidel> sdrev, like i said showkey -s
it looks very cool. I love this little gyzmos to do recordings.
[03:11] <gyaresu> doppelganger_: I don't seem to be able to find a vmware-nat.conf
[03:11] <gyaresu> doppelganger_: Or similar.
[03:11] <recon31> nothing works there
[03:11] <blanky> hey dabaR how do I create a tar.gz
[03:11] <tonyyarusso> techie_: yup
[03:11] <blanky> tar mydir/ ?
[03:11] <sdrev> infidel, let me try it with the -s flag...i just did 'showkey' before
sorry, directly connected or cable?
[03:12] <gyaresu> blanky: 'man tar'
[03:12] <ramza3> I just installed java(jdk) but cant tell where
[03:12] <infidel> sdrev, in console, not termina;
[03:12] <tonyyarusso> techie_: Cable
[03:12] <ramza3> through apt-get
[03:12] <doppelganger_> gyaresu:  alright..    it's just weird..  i can setup bridged, host, whatever...  but when i try and setup nat it will NOT let me even start vmware
and not an issue with linux?
[03:12] <gyaresu> ramza3: 'which java' then follow the symbolic links
[03:12] <doppelganger_> it's really grating on my nerves
[03:12] <Ferret> sdrev: In that case you need drivers for it
[03:12] <recon31> says could not open location file
[03:12] <Ferret> sdrev: Probably in the kernel
mine is also via cable . Did you have to install a software with it?
[03:12] <sdrev> infidel, yeah, i tried it in console...i press the button and it doesn't register...everything else does, just not the wireless button
[03:12] <gyaresu> doppelganger_: Sorry. vmware channel?
[03:12] <ramza3> gyaresu, I have two, the default gcj, I installed the sun one, trying to find where that was
[03:12] <DisabledBobcat> soundray: i got it working. thanks
[03:13] <Yuske> could u guys gimme a hand? whenever I try to play dvds on totem it says that I don't have the codecs installed,even tough I've already installed them...
[03:13] <soundray> DisabledBobcat: well done
[03:13] <infidel> sdrev, mine too
[03:13] <tonyyarusso> techie_: not at all.  I brought back another one (Olympus) before getting this one b/c of compatibility issues.  This one is 100% out of the box plug it in and go.
hey tony maybe is may setup because i also have a cable. How did you set yours up?
[03:13] <emet2> does ubuntu server make a good media server
[03:13] <doppelganger_> gyaresu:  tried...  they basically refuse to pastebin
[03:13] <skiloup> Is anyone running edgy on an Inspiron 6400
[03:13] <Yuske> xine plays my dvds, but it's filled with dots...
[03:13] <emet2> for storing naughty pictures and some stuff
[03:13] <doppelganger_> gyaresu:  i've been in there for 2 days asking for one simple request
[03:13] <gyaresu> doppelganger_: "refuse to pastebin" huh?
[03:13] <gio1> flafla: hey im back
[03:13] <Ferret> emet2: I expect pretty much any linux desktop-type distro can make a good media server
[03:13] <soundray> sdrev: run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' and hit the button to see whether it generates an ACPI event
[03:13] <doppelganger_> because google offers no examples of that particular file
[03:13] <gyaresu> doppelganger_: Friendly chaps then ;)
[03:13] <Ferret> emet2: You need to think about other requirements
so when you insert it the linux immediately recognizes the usb and goes where?
[03:13] <doppelganger_> you don't know the half.....
[03:14] <tonyyarusso> techie_: Didn't have to do anything with this one - all depends on how they work internally.  This one pops up nautilus just like a thumb drive.
how do i find the Nautillus you were talking about in ubuntu?
[03:14] <Yuske> =\
i understand but after poppinig up which program pick the info from it?
[03:14] <Popoi> ! pastebine
[03:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pastebine - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:14] <Popoi> ! pastebin
[03:14] <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)
[03:14] <sdrev> soundray, nope, didn't generate one
where does the data goes to after you insert the cable?
[03:15] <tonyyarusso> techie_: nautilus is the file browser in Gnome.  ie, the one you get from Places > Home folder
which software in ubuntu?
[03:15] <soundray> emet2: no, ubuntu has a filesystem filter that recognizes human skin and replaces the pictures with flowers and tree scenes.
[03:15] <sdrev> i guess i'll have to look in the kernel and see if there is something in there
i wonder if i have that
[03:15] <techie_> let me check.
[03:15] <soundray> just kiddin
[03:15] <Yuske> ! dvd codec
[03:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dvd codec - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:15] <emet2> soundray, :(
[03:15] <emet2> hehe
I don't have that install. Is that like firefox?
[03:16] <skiloup> Are there known problems with Edgy handling SATA controllers or SATA drives?
[03:16] <compilerwriter> Evening all.
[03:16] <flafla> gio1:  you there?  if your nick is unregistered you won't be able to msg me
maybe I should install it and see if it makes mine work!!!!
[03:16] <flafla> skiloup:  I don't have any problems
[03:16] <tonyyarusso> techie_: You do have it...it's default.  Unless you're on Kubuntu or Xubuntu or server
[03:16] <soundray> skiloup: some very recent chipset may cause trouble, but generally SATA support is very good
you might have made a great discovery with this. Man, have I been searching for something like that
[03:17] <skiloup> flafla: Which controller and drive do you have?
how do you bring Nautillus up? I search for it as yo mentioned in Places and did not see it?
[03:17] <Yuske> help? anyone? =\
[03:17] <sdrev> if i hit Alt+F2, what should i type to bring up the Terminal?
[03:17] <bruenig> sdrev, gnome-terminal
[03:17] <computer13137> Thanks for the help with ndiswrapper all.  Gotta run! :)
[03:17] <sm0k3d> hey guys, is there a way i can have firestarter running in the background, like gaim does when i press the 'x'
[03:18] <bruenig> sm0k3d, is there any reason to
[03:18] <tonyyarusso> techie_: Open your home folder, and you'll see nautilus.  It's what that browser is.
[03:18] <sdrev> bruenig, thanks!
[03:18] <ed0> h
[03:18] <omegacenti> Okay, I stil can't get sound in a certain situation in firefox to work, I have tried and tried, yet nothing seems to work.  Anybody willing to step through this?
[03:18] <emet2> !server
[03:18] <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
[03:18] <soundray> skiloup: to see currently available modules, do 'ls :/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/scsi/sata*'
[03:18] <sm0k3d> bruenig: 1. to moniter traffic  2. to change stuff cuz i do often
[03:18] <Yuske> k, why am I around here for some time now, asking around and no one answers, sm0k3d just got here and got a reply? =(
[03:18] <skiloup> soundray: I have this controller:  Intel Corporation 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7 Family) Serial ATA Storage Controller IDE (rev 01)  and I am getting i/o error messages when I $dmesg
[03:19] <bruenig> !patience | Yuske
[03:19] <ubotu> Yuske: The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
so what you are saying is "the fact that I am able to see the contents of what is there" is possible because of Nautillus a sort of windows explorer in Ubuntu?
[03:19] <soundray> skiloup: it
[03:19] <soundray> skiloup: it's a supported chipset
[03:19] <Yuske> bruenig, I'm patient. I just don't see a reason why I haven't got any reply =\
I understand.
[03:19] <GoldeNArX> :( me unhappy
[03:20] <Yuske> and people still say that "linux community is friendly"
[03:20] <bruenig> techie_, yes nautilus is the file manager, the explorer of gnome
[03:20] <tonyyarusso> techie_: yes
then I will buy that same recorder.
[03:20] <recon31> i didnt think trying to get a game to play on ubuntu was so hard still cant get it
[03:20] <GoldeNArX> anyone here have some input on how I can get this wireless working.  currently im stuck at the 80211 installation
[03:20] <soundray> skiloup: I/O errors could mean that your hard disk drive is dying.
[03:20] <compilerwriter> I have managed to be able to run an xterminal from any box on my home network thanks to xming and the wonders of XDCP.  The question now is how in blazes do I do it from the in-laws on a laptop when they have adsl and I will have no clue as to what the ip I will be connecting from will be?
[03:20] <sdrev> Yuske, maybe no one knows the answer to your question...sometimes that happens :( i just come back in a few hours and hope someone new is here that knows the answer
[03:20] <bruenig> Yuske, first I just got in here, I never saw your original question. Second, people only answer what they know, perhaps people don't know the answer. Rudeness would be to tell you to rtfm or something similar.
thanks a million. Molto Bene!
[03:20] <omegacenti> Okay, I stil can't get sound in a certain situation in firefox to work, I have tried and tried, yet nothing seems to work.  Anybody willing to step through this?
[03:21] <Yuske> ok, let me try again then
[03:21] <Yuske> could u guys gimme a hand? whenever I try to play dvds on totem it says that I don't have the codecs installed,even tough I've already installed them...
[03:21] <sm0k3d> yuske: its very friendly, im new to linux and whenever i had a question these guys were more then willing to help me out. also it could be that no1 knows the answer to your question
[03:21] <bruenig> !dvd | Yuske
[03:21] <ubotu> Yuske: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[03:21] <skiloup> soundray: It's a brand new laptop, so before I sent it back to have the hd replaced, I wanted to make sure that I'm not using a wrong kernel module, or have software problems I haven't resolved yet
[03:21] <compilerwriter> Omegacenti:  I am more than willing.  Alas, I am not qualified.
[03:21] <Yuske> yep, I did that
[03:21] <bruenig> Yuske, sudo apt-get install vlc, try playing them in there
[03:21] <omegacenti> compilerwriter: Hah, well thankyou :)
[03:21] <Yuske> hm... thanks, I'll try this.
[03:22] <sdrev> Yuske,  i use vlc too...it's a very nice program, i got it to play DVDs fairly quickly
[03:22] <soundray> skiloup: are you using ubuntu 6.10?
[03:22] <Yuske> installing it now, thanks bruenig and sdrev
[03:22] <skiloup> soundray: yes, with kernel version 2.6.17.10-generic
[03:23] <compilerwriter> Can someone direct me to a channel to help me with my question?
[03:23] <Bernini> excuse-me, i'm just new to ubuntu and linux itself. and I installed Komodo edit (for PHP development)
[03:23] <skiloup> soundray: not 17-11 because I ran into problems getting my vid and wifi to work at the same time with it
[03:23] <Bernini> it's asking the path for the PHP interpreter
[03:23] <Bernini> where do i can find it?
just printed the info so I can look at a local store.
[03:23] <soundray> skiloup: there have been some changes in the way the kernel addresses SATA drives between 2.6.17 and 2.6.20. Perhaps you want to try the Feisty (7.04) beta live CD before you send the laptop back.
[03:24] <teclis> hello, is anyone familiar with wpa-supplicant and multiple network entries?
[03:24] <bruenig> Yuske, you may also check if you have totem-xine installed, not sure if that is what is necessary to play dvd's or if the gstreamer totem can do it also. I always install xine immediately and have never had a problem playing dvds

[03:25] <omegacenti> firefox*
[03:25] <Yuske> but it has a lot of dots on the screen
[03:25] <bkildow> bernini: type whereis php in the console

[03:25] <soundray> fizzmahon: ubuntu has no root password
[03:25] <Bernini> bkildow, it returns me php:
[03:25] <nalioth> fizzmahon: use 'sudo'
[03:26] <soundray> fizzmahon: it's recommended that you leave it that way.
[03:26] <bruenig> omegabeta, when does sound go out
[03:26] <fizzmahon> soundray:: what do you mean? i tried typign nothing and it didnt work
[03:26] <flafla> giod, gio1  What's going on?

[03:27] <fizzmahon> thanks guys
[03:27] <Bernini> correct me if i'm wrong, but i installed all the LAMP tools. and if i create a file.php into var/www i can run it.
[03:27] <nalioth> !paste | skiloup
[03:27] <ubotu> skiloup: 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)
[03:27] <push2882>  hi everyone   does somebody know wich kernel version is compatible with cyrix mediaGX 3x processor its a 6x86 class
[03:27] <skiloup> got it, sorry
[03:27] <sm0k3d> fizzmahon: but if u want to be really cool, u can make a root password by typing "su passwd"  and then typing in the password you want....but like every1 else said, its recommended that u dont do that
[03:28] <nalioth> sm0k3d: please don't do that
[03:28] <CrAsH_0vEr> thnks man
[03:28] <gio1> flafla: can you read mine
[03:28] <nalioth> fizzmahon: please don't do that, Ubuntu was designed to use 'sudo'
[03:28] <bruenig> sm0k3d, sudo passwd by the way
[03:28] <wastrel> ubunto
[03:28] <gio1> flafla: cause i can read yours
[03:28] <flafla> gio1 no
[03:28] <sdrev> sort of a follow up on fizzmahon's question...i did the su passwd thing....what's there before you do su password? is it just a randomly generated password or what?
[03:28] <flafla> gio1: you need to register your nick name
[03:28] <soundray> push2882: all i386 kernels that come with ubuntu will work.
[03:28] <Ice_Wewe> what is the package containing the 2007b DST change for Dapper?
[03:28] <gio1> flafla: im giod
[03:28] <bruenig> sdrev, it is your users password
[03:28] <Bernini> bkildow, so i have to reinstall php again?
[03:28] <push2882> i allways get a kernel panic
[03:29] <nalioth> sdrev: there is no root password by default.
[03:29] <bkildow> bernini: type sudo find / -name php
[03:29] <tonyyarusso> Ice_Wewe: langpack-locales
[03:29] <gio1> flafla: let me log out and log back in
[03:29] <sm0k3d> fizzmahon: ok my bad, dont do what i said
[03:29] <whieimhere> Hi. Ive left my laptop on for two days now and when I insert a CD into the drive it will no longer show up auto-mounted. Now it does not show up at all. Other than a re-boot is there anything I can do to mount it?
[03:29] <soundray> sdrev: the root account is locked. If you have set one, go back to the default with 'sudo passwd -l'
[03:29] <flafla> gio1:  sounds good
[03:29] <Yuske> vlc is trying to run it as audio cd O.o
[03:29] <skiloup> soundray: Aside from my goof on the large paste, are there any tools I can run to check my drive for bad sectors?  If so, i could manually flag the appropriate blocks
[03:30] <[BTF] Chm0d> !fiesty
[03:30] <ubotu> The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn"), it should be released in April 2007. At the moment it is alpha. Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyReleaseSchedule - Specifications (goals): https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/feisty - Help in #ubuntu+1
[03:30] <Ice_Wewe> tonyyarusso: hmmm... is that on the default mirrors? I just made apt update it's repo files, and it's not finding that package
[03:30] <desi007> is there any application that will convert minidv to dvd just one touch without transferring 1st to HDD/
[03:30] <tonyyarusso> Ice_Wewe: just a minute
[03:30] <Yuske> bruenig
[03:30] <Yuske> ?
[03:30] <bruenig> Yuske, you are sure the dvd works
[03:31] <Yuske> yep, as I said I can run it on xine
[03:31] <soundray> skiloup: manual badblocks marking is obsolete with modern drives. I'd use the beta, mount the drive and run some HD thrashing tasks while observing syslog.
[03:31] <bruenig> well run it on xine then
[03:31] <Ice_Wewe> tonyyarusso: is is just 'locales'?
[03:31] <Yuske> but xine's display has a lot of dots on the screen
[03:31] <sdrev> soundray, do i do 'sudo passwd -l root'? cause 'sudo passwd -l' just brings up the passwd help thing
[03:31] <dabaR> whieimhere: sudo mount /media/cdrom0
[03:32] <sdrev> Yuske, did you install the livdvdcss2?
[03:32] <bruenig> Yuske, well assuming you are correct in that you have install libdvdcss and tried it in vlc, I don't see how it doesn't work
[03:32] <Ice_Wewe> sdrev: AFIAK plf be down
[03:32] <Yuske> as far as I remember, yes. anyway,I'll try to install it again
[03:32] <skiloup> soundray: the beta? beta for what?
[03:32] <soundray> sdrev: it does that if it's already locked
[03:32] <indigoblu> i destroyed my configuration dir for nagios2, using apt-get install nagios2 does not restore this config dir, how is this done?
[03:32] <sdrev> soundray, ahh, ok
[03:32] <soundray> skiloup: ubuntu. See private message...
[03:32] <Ice_Wewe> sdrev: helps when I get the acronym right... AFAIK PLF be down
[03:32] <soundray> !feisty > sdrev
[03:33] <soundray> !feisty > skiloup
[03:33] <giod> d
[03:33] <push2882> witch version of ubuntu have a i386 kernel
[03:33] <bruenig> indigoblu, generally when you launch a program, the config directory, if not there, remakes itself
[03:33] <soundray> sorry sdrev, didn't mean you
[03:33] <sdrev> soundray, k
[03:33] <Ice_Wewe> push2882: the i386 version
[03:33] <omegacenti> Okay I am following this link, but It scares me when its trying to remove ubuntu-desktop: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=3450
[03:33] <jmworx> crimsun, tritium: So when's the Speex package being updated?
[03:33] <omegacenti> Should I allow this?
[03:33] <dabaR> !ubuntu-desktop | omegacenti
[03:33] <ubotu> omegacenti: k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading.
[03:33] <bruenig> omegabeta, ubuntu-desktop is just a meta package, it doesn't contain anything
[03:33] <sm0k3d> is there any reason to install a DNS for a home server
[03:33] <soundray> push2882: you can't miss it if you pay attention as you download a CD image
[03:33] <giod> flafla: pm me
[03:33] <tonyyarusso> Ice_Wewe: Ah, yes it is.  The source package is langpack-locales, the binary is just locales.
[03:34] <indigoblu> bruenig, nagios will not generate its own config, I need apt to reinstall it...
[03:34] <Ice_Wewe> sm0k3d: for a backup DNS server, sure, but it's a lot of work to configure bind
[03:34] <Ice_Wewe> tonyyarusso: thanks, I found it and installed it
[03:34] <bkildow> bernini: ok, I would think it would be /var/lib/php5
[03:34] <giod> flafla: you there?
[03:34] <Pelo> evening folks
[03:34] <skiloup> soundray: alright, sounds good.  Funny i didn't think of the new fiesty, I was gonna use Knoppix
[03:34] <smoknjuan> hi all.  quick q:  does ubuntu 6.06 default to ext2 or ext3?
[03:34] <omegacenti> dabaR: I dont understand that comment.
[03:34] <Ice_Wewe> smoknjuan: I believe it defaults to ext2, but I'm not 100% sure
[03:34] <soundray> skiloup: I think that would be just as good
[03:35] <smoknjuan> thanks ice
[03:35] <Ice_Wewe> smoknjuan: you can find out by doing 'mount' on the drive and seeing what the partition type is
[03:35] <mzracer360> After trying out but then uninstalling Drupal on my 6.06 server, I can no longer view PHP files.  Instead it trys to save.
[03:35] <soundray> smoknjuan: ext3 (100%)
[03:35] <bruenig> indigoblu, sudo apt-get --reinstallnagios
[03:35] <smoknjuan> cant boot it
[03:35] <bruenig> --reinstall nagios
[03:35] <Ice_Wewe> smoknjuan: just type 'mount' into any terminal and it'll tell you
[03:35] <mzracer360> when restarting apache I get this error:  * Forcing reload of apache 2.0 web server...                                   httpd (pid 8667?) not running

[03:35] <skiloup> soundray: thanks for the help, out of curiosity, where can I find a list of common messages, like the fiesty message you redirected me?
[03:35] <desi007> is there any application that will convert minidv to dvd just one touch without transferring 1st to HDD/
[03:35] <hanbush> can somebody help me?
[03:35] <bruenig> !anyone | hanbush
[03:35] <ubotu> hanbush: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[03:35] <Ice_Wewe> soundray: really? I wonder what's wrong with the CD I've got running in the Computer Lab...
[03:35] <soundray> !ubotu > skiloup
[03:35] <Pelo> does anyone know if POWERNOWD supports Intel Celeron D 2.4 ?
[03:36] <hanbush> i was installing beryl, and i restarted xwindow, and now it freezes at the ubuntu loading screen
[03:36] <ekimus> mzracer360: /etc/init.d/apache2 stop && /etc/init.d/apache2 start
[03:36] <Ice_Wewe> Pelo: I believe powernow supports Pentium 4 class CPUs
[03:36] <bruenig> hanbush, go to #ubuntu-effects
[03:36] <sm0k3d> im running vsftpd for a ftp server, but im wondering what folder is its 'home' directory
[03:36] <soundray> Ice_Wewe: I wonder, too. Ubuntu has *never* used ext2 by default.
[03:36] <smoknjuan> thanks soundray
[03:36] <blanky> hey guys my friend wants to use nautilus but it's causing him problems in fluxbox, what should he use instead?
[03:36] <bruenig> blanky, thunar is good
[03:36] <tonyyarusso> blanky: thunar might be an option
[03:36] <Pelo> Ice_Wewe,   dum it down a bit for me ,  is a celeron D a pentim class 4 chip ?
[03:37] <Frogzoo> Pelo: news to me that the celery has variable power - thought it was only the intel mobiles...
[03:37] <Ice_Wewe> soundray: ohhh, I know what it is. Ext2 is the first type in the list when you go to manually partition, which by coincidence, doesn't work anyway.
[03:37] <blanky> thanks bruenig and tonyyarusso, I linked him to rox filer too
[03:37] <ekimus> mzracer360: I assume you enabled apache startup in /etc/default/apache2
[03:37] <Dougie> yes
[03:37] <tritoch> if i edited my interfaces to set up WPA do i still have to configure wpa_supplicant ?
[03:37] <Ice_Wewe> Pelo: well it's a Celeron D, so technically, no, but I think Powernow supports it
[03:37] <sm0k3d> im running vsftpd for a ftp server, but im wondering what folder is its 'home' directory?
[03:37] <compilerwriter> sm0k3d The adsl only changes when that happens or is caused to happen by power failure yes.  I was looking at another channel btw sor to get back to you so late.
[03:38] <Pelo> Frogzoo, I 've been spending  most of the afternoon trying to set it up , I am starting to wonder if I can or not
[03:38] <Ice_Wewe> Pelo: checking
[03:38] <gyaresu> blanky: He could even use konqueror. Mix and match a lot of apps.
[03:38] <Pelo> Ice_Wewe,  thanks
[03:38] <blanky> gyaresu: all except nautilus right, because he's having problems with it on fluxbox (and I remember I had the same problems too)
[03:38] <sm0k3d> compilerwriter: its all good, just go to ipchicken.com or someplace, check your ip address and u can connect through there
[03:38] <Bernini> bkildow, thanks for your help!
[03:39] <marx2k> hmmmm
[03:39] <marx2k> ok installing this nvidia card totally blew up my x-server
[03:39] <panfist> hello, i tried using method 1 from this guide to install drivers for my ati card: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Edgy_Installation_Guide , and when i enter the command "fglrxinfo" to verify the install, it says my openGL rendere is Mesa GLX Indirect instead of my ATI card. any help?
[03:39] <Ice_Wewe> Pelo: well his site claims it supports AMD X2 and Intel Centrino, so I'd hazard a guess that it supports Celeron. Questions is whether the Celeron has more than two speed steps. I know my AMD64 only has 3, and the PIII's I have only have one speed
[03:39] <marx2k> I wonder why
[03:39] <asoldier> ed0, ltns
[03:39] <sm0k3d> compilerwriter: sorry i  forgot the question, but i sorta remember it
[03:39] <Yuske> oh well, I'll give up for now...
[03:39] <Yuske> cya!
[03:39] <ekimus> mzracer360: apache is running then? (lsof -i :80)
[03:39] <EchoBinary> hey - Flannel was helping me ewarlier, I don't know if he's still around - but where I left off after installing xorg for fluxbox - im getting missing font errors when I run startx
[03:39] <marx2k> hm upon retsart it now seems to be working
[03:39] <marx2k> wtf
[03:39] <compilerwriter> I have managed to be able to run an xterminal from any box on my home network thanks to xming and the wonders of XDCP.  The question now is how in blazes do I do it from the in-laws on a laptop when they have adsl and I will have no clue as to what the ip I will be connecting from will be?
[03:40] <marx2k> that makes me very nervous when a restart of the system makes things work
[03:40] <kazuka> what is a good doc editor for ubuntu?
[03:40] <EADG> how can I completely remove an installed program (and all associated files) that wasn't installed via apt-get and has no uninstall option?
[03:40] <Pelo> Ice_Wewe,  would such information be available in the tech sheet for my chip on the intel site ?
[03:40] <Ice_Wewe> panfist: you're just using Mesa for your GLX in your Xorg.conf... only I don't have an ATi card, so you'll have to ask someone more learned than me on how to change it
[03:40] <ekimus> mzracer360: and btw it is nice to ask before querying someone
[03:40] <mzracer360> lol, sorry im new to IRC
[03:40] <bruenig> EADG, delete all the files, what did you install and how did you do it
[03:40] <compilerwriter> Open Office kazuka
[03:40] <ekimus> mzracer360: no problem
[03:40] <tritoch> !wpa
[03:40] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[03:40] <Ice_Wewe> Pelo: doubt it... chip manufacturers don't generally talk about the speed steps a CPU has. I've never seen one tell you what they are
[03:40] <marx2k> !beryl
[03:40] <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
[03:41] <seed_> where does ssh stores a host key i've generated? can i just throw the secret key to /etc/ssh?
[03:41] <gyaresu> compilerwriter: Why can't you ssh in and re-connect to a 'screen' session?
[03:41] <panfist> ice_wewe: i see...
[03:41] <compilerwriter> sm0k3d did that refresher help?
[03:41] <marx2k> !nvidia
[03:41] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:41] <sivik> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9034/, what is causing that problem, it was working yesterday
[03:41] <EADG> bruenig: A couple of games... Legands and Regnum, both had shell scripts (I think)
[03:41] <gyaresu> seed_: ~/.ssh/known_hosts
[03:41] <sm0k3d> compilerwriter: yea, but i think gyaresu just answered it
[03:41] <bruenig> EADG, but was it a ./configure or something else?
[03:41] <Ice_Wewe> Pelo: find out if your Celeron has more than two speeds, if so, I'd hazard a guess that powernow supports it
[03:42] <Mixx> If I hibernate Edgy x64 I can't boot into anything until i power off the power supply and power on.  The problem is the hard drives aren't recognized at POST and it just gets stuck trying to find them.  Any suggestions?
[03:42] <compilerwriter> gyaresu I can ssh and then edit my Xaccess file, but there has got to be a better way.
[03:42] <seed_> gyaresu, but i'm using the key with rsync in anacron to do a backup job
[03:42] <omegacenti> Might someone be able to tell me what this line does?:        repeat noisy swallow(alsaplayer): alsaplayer -q "$file"
[03:42] <sm0k3d> im running vsftpd for a ftp server, but im wondering what folder is its 'home' directory?
[03:42] <Pelo> Ice_Wewe,  I'm trhing to right now
[03:42] <EADG> bruenig: gimme a minute, I'll check.
[03:42] <seed_> gyaresu, i'm afraid anacron won't detect the key in my user home dir
[03:42] <marx2k> I got an interesting question... upon installation, Ubuntu autoconfigs the names for my monitor and my video card... with dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, it makes the names 'default'
[03:42] <marx2k> how do I get that information back
[03:43] <gyaresu> seed_: yeah. sorry, not enough time to sort it with you atm.
[03:43] <seed_> gyaresu, k, thanks
[03:43] <Ice_Wewe> Pelo: unfortunately I have to go, hope you find the right information!
[03:43] <wastrel> marx2k:  there's an automatic backup made in /etc/X11/  when you do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:43] <gyaresu> compilerwriter: Why arn't you able to use putty from their machien?
[03:43] <blanky> hey what's wrong with this gyaresu, install -d $(BIN) $(DESTDIR)/etc
[03:43] <Pelo> IcemanCZ,  thanks ,
[03:43] <blanky> it says missing seperator
[03:43] <marx2k> wastrel: yeah I know... but... where does the installer get that info from is what Id like to know
[03:43] <blanky> but in the debian new maintaner's guide that's how it has it
[03:43] <bibek> what is responsible for making /dev/sda for usb devices?
[03:44] <compilerwriter> sm0k3d: gyaresu: I was hoping there was some way to make pageant, or some such app work.
[03:44] <sm0k3d> compilerwriter: im sure u could write a program for the laptop to do that for you with your ipadress, but thats assuming u have a bit of programming skills
[03:44] <minttea> I can't belive I'm asking this, how do I close a channel window in irssi?
[03:44] <gyaresu> blanky: I don't know what you're trying to do.
[03:44] <Frogzoo> bibek: udev
[03:44] <omegacenti> Wow, how could I tell if I have an alsaplayer installed?
[03:44] <gyaresu> minttea: /wc
[03:44] <blanky> gyaresu: well is there anything syntactically incorrect
[03:44] <minttea> gyaresu: thanks again
[03:44] <wastrel> marx2k:  the card, from the pci vendor data thingy.  for the monitor from some similar autoconfig function i guess.
[03:45] <g3nocide> gyaresu: ok, so here i am in ubuntu text only (cause tryig to log in causes things to go bad) so can you give me a link to envy so i can install the proper video drivers and get things working properly ???
[03:45] <bibek> Frogzoo, thankx, i think my system completely messed up, now it doesnot even make the /dev/sda entries :(
[03:45] <compilerwriter> sm0k3d I haven't programmed in years.  Hell I am not sure if I could still do a "Hello World" in C.
[03:45] <marx2k> wastrel: heh... yeah.. thats what Im wondering
[03:45] <gyaresu> !envy | g3nocide
[03:45] <ubotu> g3nocide: envy is a Python script that eases installation of the official Nvidia and ATI drivers. Please see http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html . Developers may be interested in https://launchpad.net/products/envy - See also !Nvidia
[03:45] <asoldier> compilerwriter : try html, it's more fun
[03:45] <asoldier> :D
[03:45] <gyaresu> g3nocide: Ah. Text only. That won't help .
[03:45] <EADG> bruenig: can't say for certain, I think they were both .exe's
[03:45] <ekimus> compilerwriter: try "ssh -X targethost xterm" that'll do it no need for fancy programs
[03:45] <Frogzoo> bibek: mixing packages across releases pretty much guarantees breakage
[03:46] <bruenig> EADG, .exe is windows
[03:46] <ekimus> compilerwriter: or the need to the the source ip address
[03:46] <bruenig> EADG, are you talking about wine
[03:46] <bibek> i've learned my lesson
[03:46] <EADG> bruenig: native linux
[03:46] <g3nocide> gyaresu: yeah, like i can change to tty7 with the graphical log in interface, but the second i try that, i get the garbled junk again
[03:46] <emacsen> What's the command that Ubuntu uses during install to generate the fstab?
[03:46] <gyaresu> g3nocide: sorry. I'm not very helpful for you today... So if you check out the nvidia docs that should get you happening.
[03:46] <bruenig> EADG, then they weren't exe

[03:47] <asoldier> g3nocide ... holy shit
[03:47] <emacsen> On upgrade from whatever was pre-edgy to edgy, a non-tech friend lost her mounts for /dev/hdb so I need to find the command to bring them back without her needing to add them manually
[03:47] <kazuka> omg
[03:47] <EADG> hmmm. I'm not able to locate the original install files.
[03:47] <bruenig> EADG, but anyway, if there was an unconvential install script, the files could be anywhere. You would have to find the script and look at it to see where it puts stuff. I would check first in /usr/local.
[03:47] <kazuka> its not stiooubg
[03:47] <gyaresu> Ferret: Never used it. Apparently some find it usefull.
[03:47] <g3nocide> asoldier: ??
[03:48] <EADG> bruenig: what file extension am I looking for the install script?

[03:48] <asoldier> holy, cow?
[03:48] <Frogzoo> emacsen: is this a windows partition?
[03:48] <compilerwriter> ekimus:  My Xaccess file only allows a certain set of machines.  Those on my household network free reign to just use my X server.  What I am talking about is when I am at the inlaws.  I won't be using an IP from an allowed address then.  I am looking for some other form of identification that my laptop can use and my box be configured to recognize.
[03:48] <bruenig> EADG, it may have no file extension, or it may have a .sh extension
[03:48] <gyaresu> intelikey: Did you upgrade you nvidia drivers?
[03:48] <emacsen> soundray, no, you don't understand the problem
[03:48] <bruenig> EADG, if you look around in /usr/local for the files you can probably remove them all
[03:48] <EADG> hehe, this is gonna be fun.
[03:48] <intelikey> gyaresu no

[03:49] <omegacenti> Oy has anyone used moxplugger before?
[03:49] <emacsen> Frogzoo, yeah probably. fat or ntfs. apparently pre-edgy it mounted them for her

[03:50] <intelikey> gyaresu fair enough..

[03:51] <ekimus> compilerwriter: I know neither xming nor plink but I have been working with ssh and x forwarding all the time. and there weren't any ports open that would allow someone to remotely connect to my box just ssh...
[03:51] <asoldier> I'm having trouble finding information on developing custom themes for ubuntu
[03:51] <intelikey> gyaresu no error messages.   that's the part that i don't get.
[03:51] <panfist> can anyone please help me out, when following this guide to install drivers for my ATI card, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI , when i run "fglrxinfo" to verify the instalation it says my openGL renderer is Mesa GLX Indirect instead of my graphics card
[03:51] <fizzmahon> hey guys, was just trying my glxgears and i get this error "libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b" any ideas?
[03:51] <compilerwriter> Are you connecting from a linux box or and XP one.
[03:52] <gyaresu> intelikey: And it's Edgy? You've tried upgrading? And it sort of clicks to start with and drops to a terminal?
[03:52] <compilerwriter> s/and/an
[03:52] <ekimus> compilerwriter: different *NIX flavors depends on where I am
[03:52] <ekimus> compilerwriter: but if you need a free X server on the windows side i heard that cygwin has that (never used it thou)
[03:53] <compilerwriter> The laptop is, by necessity, XP.  That is why I would have to Xming.  (free windows x server)
[03:53] <compilerwriter> Plink is for the ssh.
[03:53] <intelikey> gyaresu X will run fine.   gdm starts and restarts and restarts....  i just installed gnome + gdm and was going to have a look around.  gnome will even run if i connect without gdm   also my user account can't login with xdm it kills X    i can't find any error anywhere....   dapper.
[03:53] <ekimus> compilerwriter: so start up some xterm on you local host then ssh -X to the target and start whatever you need. it will come up
[03:53] <Frogzoo> emacsen: best to get her to mail you the output of the following, and you can then mail her back a working fstab

[03:54] <intelikey> gyaresu no log  no
[03:54] <g3nocide> gyaresu: like, im reading these install docs on the ubuntu help wiki (via lynx) and it's all instructions for GUI install, that's completely of no use to me....
[03:55] <gyaresu> intelikey: Easy fix would be to install kdm but that would be cheating ;)

[03:56] <xyz-abc> hi

[03:57] <compilerwriter> Anybody know if there is a terminal based irc installed with Edgy by default?  It just dawned on me I might need it if I can only manage a terminal ssh connection.
[03:57] <billy> greetings.
[03:57] <mzracer360> I just just purged and reinstalled all LAMP packages, but I still cannot view php files, what could be wrong?
[03:58] <g3nocide> gyaresu: ok thanks, i'll give it a whirl and reboot to see if things work out

[03:58] <g3nocide> muchos gracias
[03:58] <geeksauce> hey guys, i'm trying to help some friends out that have unfortunate situations with their school networks.  how can i serve files over the internet?
[03:58] <vicente> compilerwriter,  there is irssi and bitchx but im not sure if they are defuault
[03:58] <compilerwriter> mzracer360: The way you are holding your mouth :-)

[03:58] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[03:58] <craigbass1976> geeksauce, make a web server?
[03:59] <mzracer360> yea, following exactly like the guide, it worked before but is nolonger working
[03:59] <intelikey>  /var/log/gdm/:0.log gyaresu
[03:59] <g3nocide> yay, i love how i can actually hit my download cap in linux
[03:59] <geeksauce> craigbass1976, would you be able to help me with that?
[03:59] <omegacenti> compilerwriter: I found the solution if you wish to hear about it.
[03:59] <vicente> g3nocide,  i have a bandwidth monitor, its amazing to see how much i use per hour
[03:59] <compilerwriter> vicente: Doesn't appear to be the case, but I will go get one of them
[03:59] <craigbass1976> geeksauce, sure.  I've only made a couple, but we can talk.  pm me and off we go.
[03:59] <gyaresu> intelikey: You want me to hack-in and read it ;)
[03:59] <sm0k3d> im running vsftpd for a ftp server, but im wondering what folder is its 'home' directory?
[04:00] <compilerwriter> query away omegacenti I have a feeling this could get involved.
[04:00] <vicente> compilerwriter, i suggest irssi, i like the interface but i guess anyone will do
[04:00] <intelikey> gyaresu  can you not /dcc get it ?
[04:00] <omegacenti> oh... not about your problem, about my early problem that you said you fel interested in.
[04:00] <omegacenti> felt*
[04:01] <gyaresu> intelikey: irssi/screen/ssh clients house...
[04:01] <intelikey> oh remote.
[04:01] <emacsen> Frogzoo, thanks that script worked
[04:01] <intelikey> gyaresu i see.
[04:01] <intelikey> ok i'll pastebin it.
[04:01] <Frogzoo> emacsen: ahah!
[04:01] <gyaresu> intelikey: dcc is direct something something? Very linux !! very irc
[04:01] <emacsen> Frogzoo, saved me having to play games with her fstab manually
[04:01] <EADG> bruenig: i found legends_linux.sh in the trash, it's 116Mb What do I do with it? open in Kate and track down install dirs?
[04:01] <compilerwriter> I would love to hear the solution omeagcenti
[04:02] <vicente> does anyone here use gdesklets?
[04:02] <bruenig> EADG, that file itself is 116 Mb?
[04:02] <bruenig> it shouldn't be it is a scipt
[04:02] <bruenig> script*
[04:02] <intelikey> gyaresu    http://pastebin.ca/raw/384494
[04:03] <EADG> So says Konqueror :)
[04:03] <omegacenti> compilerwriter: Okay, the problem with firefox sound not working is that the totem plugins in firefox are ill suited to handle mp3 streams.
[04:03] <bruenig> EADG, ultimately this stuff isn't all that important, I mean you can have files floating around, unless you are hard up for diskspace
[04:03] <apallo> how do i change the color of my fonts in gnome?
[04:03] <Dougie> ah wth... ok i setup xserver to use the vesa drivers before and ubuntu loaded and then i tried to setup the ati drivers and all that and it went back to what it was doing before and so i tried to change it back to the vesa stuff and its still doing the freezing up on the splash boot screen
[04:03] <marx2k_> This is an issue I get when trying to install NVidia drivers via Envy... can anyone make any sense of this...
[04:03] <bruenig> omegacenti, sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer
[04:03] <intelikey> gyaresu yes dcc dirrect client to client
[04:03] <marx2k_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9039/
[04:03] <compilerwriter> omegacenti that is the Gods honest truth
[04:03] <omegacenti> compilerwriter: So, to get to the bottom of it enter the commmands:
[04:03] <omegacenti> cd /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/
[04:03] <omegacenti> sudo rm libtotem*
[04:03] <omegacenti> sudo apt-get install mplayer mozilla-mplayer
[04:04] <omegacenti> bruenig: Sometimes that doesn't work
[04:04] <bruenig> omegacenti, it does if you have the right repos enabled
[04:04] <omegacenti> bruenig: sometimes you have to forcefully remove the totem plugins from firefox.
[04:04] <bruenig> omegacenti, no you dont
[04:04] <xyz-abc> how do i enable the universe repository?
[04:04] <bruenig> xyz-abc, sudo sed 's/# deb/deb/g' -i /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo apt-get update
[04:05] <gyaresu> intelikey: Wow... 486?
[04:05] <Kronuz> in what package is the glxtokens.h, does anybody know?
[04:05] <xyz-abc> thx
[04:05] <omegacenti> bruenig: I can say from experience that this exact solution just solved all my problems, so it is a feasable possibility.
[04:05] <EADG> bruenig: Not hurt'n for space, just wanted to clean up abit. I'll root out what i can find and leave it at that. Thanks again.
[04:05] <ramza3> how do I check a version of a package with apt
[04:05] <bruenig> Kronuz, x11proto-gl-dev:
[04:05] <omegacenti> bruenig: What is that command?
[04:05] <gyaresu> intelikey:
[04:05] <bruenig> omegabeta, but it breaks packages
[04:05] <gyaresu> intelikey:
[04:05] <Kronuz> thanks bruenig :)
[04:05] <bruenig> omegabeta, sudo apt-get remove totem-mozilla
[04:06] <joe43> how do I get in line for some high level help?
[04:06] <bruenig> omegabeta, install mozilla-mplayer should do that already though
[04:06] <omegacenti> oh well, it worked, I am happy even if it is a hackjob.
[04:06] <gyaresu> intelikey: (stupid putty) Using config file: "/etc/init.d/orange/xorg.conf" Is that right?
[04:06] <omegacenti> bruenig: it didn't. this did.
[04:06] <intelikey> gyaresu http://pastebin.ca/raw/384496  xdm's log.
[04:06] <Kronuz> bruenig, how did you know, you knew or found out somehow?
[04:06] <bruenig> omegacenti, probably user error on  your part
[04:06] <riqz> Are the beryl team actually working on making it at least beta? last new in the blog is dated december/...
[04:06] <intelikey> gyaresu yes that's correct.
[04:07] <davascript_home> hola all
[04:07] <Ben_> Hi, somebody from mexico?
[04:07] <omegacenti> bruenig: I don't see how as its a fresh install automated along with follwing the ubuntu guide.
[04:07] <davascript_home> i have some questions regarding kernel management in ubuntu
[04:07] <joe43> I'm looking for some smart people to help?
[04:07] <omegacenti> either way, if this happens again, this is apossible solution if the one you offer doesn't
[04:07] <dabaR> !find glxtokens.h
[04:07] <marx2k> Hmmmm
[04:07] <ubotu> File glxtokens.h found in x11proto-gl-dev
[04:07] <xyz-abc> is there a way to enable the universe repository via a gui interface?
[04:07] <bruenig> Kronuz, I used apt-file, sudo apt-get install apt-file to install it then do sudo apt-file update, then you can sudo apt-file search whatever
[04:07] <Dougie> there we go got it working again
[04:08] <dabaR> Kronuz: ^
[04:08] <Gesus> !fstan
[04:08] <gyaresu> Is this machine uptodate?
[04:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fstan - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:08] <Gesus> !fstab
[04:08] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[04:08] <Kronuz> bruenig, hmm.. interesting
[04:08] <blanky> to uninstall gnome, sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop ?
[04:08] <gyaresu> intelikey: Is this machine uptodate?
[04:08] <intelikey> gyaresu yes it is.
[04:08] <bruenig> Kronuz, the sudo apt-file update takes a while though so be prepared for that as it has to index all the packages and such
[04:08] <bruenig> blanky, no that won't work
[04:08] <davascript_home> what version does apt-get have for kernel as we speak
[04:08] <joe43> it's a really interesting problem, involves alsa, oss, flash, drivers, the whole thing, are you sure you don't want to hear about it?
[04:08] <blanky> bruenig: what should I use then
[04:08] <sivik> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9034/
[04:09] <sivik> whats causing it not to play, it was working yesterday
[04:09] <dabaR> Kronuz: Or just /msg ubotu find <filename>
[04:09] <blanky> huuuh?
[04:09] <intelikey> gyaresu all except a downgraded version of foomatic-db  because the update version for dapper is borked
[04:09] <blanky> bruenig:
[04:09] <bruenig> blanky, it is not just one thing, it also depends on what you are defining as gnome, is totem gnome?
[04:09] <sdrev> xyz-abc, System>Administration>Synaptics Package Manager...click Settings>Repositories
[04:09] <gyaresu> intelikey: To tell you the truth I don't know. A little weird.
[04:09] <blanky> bruenig: everything...in...gnome :)
[04:09] <Kronuz> arghh!! No package 'librsvg-2.0' found
[04:09] <bruenig> blanky, here is one way to do something like what you are saying http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde
[04:09] <blanky> I'm using fluxbox now
[04:09] <dabaR> blanky: how did you install it?
[04:09] <davascript_home> does anyone have any info on kernel management for ubuntu
[04:09] <dabaR> the gnome.
[04:09] <joe43> anyone know anything about getting ALSA working?
[04:09] <Kronuz> :P
[04:10] <blanky> dabaR: I installed ubuntu, it has gnome by default heh
[04:10] <intelikey> gyaresu yessir.  that's why i'm here.   it's not giving any clue why it wont run
[04:10] <blanky> but my friend wants to use fluxbox from now on
[04:10] <blanky> sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop?
[04:10] <Kronuz> (I'm compiling Beryl)
[04:10] <bruenig> blanky, you should use fluxbuntu
[04:10] <ks1> Requested audio codec family [mp3]  (afm=mp3lib) not available. <-- that is your problem sivik
[04:10] <godsyn> Hi, rather than attempt to suffer though the constant scrolling, would someone here PLEASE assist me w/ getting WoW to run in wine? I am currently in windows, but will swap to my linux boot, and when/if wow is working, I'll be rid of MS for good :)
[04:10] <blanky> bruenig: uh...?
[04:10] <davascript_home> try sudo apt0get install fluxbox
[04:10] <bruenig> blanky, follow that link apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop doesn't do anything
[04:10] <dabaR> blanky: try sudo aptitude remove ubuntu-desktop, see what that will try to remove.
[04:10] <davascript_home> try sudo apt-get install fluxbox
[04:10] <bruenig> dabaR, that doesn't do anything
[04:10] <blanky> man this is hopeless
[04:10] <bruenig> installing fluxbox doesn't remove gnome
[04:11] <blanky> I saw a few people do it a while ago I just forgot
[04:11] <gyaresu> I've got to leave for a bit but I'll be back in the office in half and hour or so. See if there are more helpful people around till I return. Sorry again.
[04:11] <bruenig> blanky, pay attention http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde
[04:11] <bruenig> blanky, copy that command
[04:11] <davascript_home> and use apt-cache search fluxbox to see what flux package are availabe
[04:11] <blanky> I never frickin said that I wanted it so that when I install fluxbox it removes gnome omg
[04:11] <bruenig> davascript_home, installing fluxbox doesn't remove gnome
[04:11] <Kronuz> do you know of a way to make gedit support regexp for search/replace?
[04:11] <intelikey> gyaresu thanks for the time of day.
[04:11] <davascript_home> you dont have to remove it
[04:11] <sivik> ks1, then why does it do it to me no matter what i'm trying to play and i already have mp3lib installed
[04:11] <bruenig> davascript_home, you should stop talking
[04:11] <davascript_home> just choose which to use at the desktop manager level
[04:12] <godsyn> anyone?
[04:12] <intelikey>           ok anyone ever seen  gdm fail to run.  just restarts and restarts.  but X will run.  ?
[04:12] <ramza3> can I just change 'gcc-3.4 (for example)' to gcc

[04:14] <ramza3> regular gcc I mean
[04:14] <billy> why is it my screen goes black while I boot up?

[04:14] <sivik> ks1: but it matters not what i'm trying to play, it does the same thing with video's/music
[04:15] <ramza3> intelikey, what does install build-essential do
[04:15] <ks1> sivik, if you would read it will tell you how to solve. I dont see what is so hard about reading
[04:15] <bruenig> ramza3, build-essential installs packages necessary to compile stuff from source
[04:15] <intelikey> gdm error !      no error message.     ?
[04:15] <ks1> sivik, http://linuxmint.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=6314 ALSO reference to it there and HOW to solve your problem. It requires reading
[04:15] <h4lfl1ng> no one?
[04:16] <ks1> Issue #6 - MPlayer complains about "mp3lib"
[04:16] <intelikey> ramza3 if you are going to compile you need to install "build-essential"  a meta package that depends on the essentials for building software.
[04:16] <sivik> ks1: so its an issue with alsa?
[04:16] <ramza3> intelikey, compile what?
[04:16] <ks1> it is libavcodec/ffmpeg..
[04:16] <Ltar> How can I burn a data CD in ubuntu?
[04:16] <davascript_home> ramza3: gcc is the gnu compiler collection
[04:16] <sivik> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9041/, thats what i try when i am trying to play a a video

[04:17] <homanj> is ubuntu compliant with the new daylight savings time change?
[04:17] <panfist> how can I submit an edit for this page? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI ? I found a solution to a common problem when verifying an installation using fglrxinfo
[04:17] <ramza3> davascript_home, yea I know, trying to point gcc-3.4 such that it is run as gcc
[04:17] <bruenig> homanj, yes
 can I just change 'gcc-3.4 (for example)' to gcc
[04:17] <sivik> and i also have been having problems with firefox crashing without a report
[04:17] <panfist> nevermind
[04:17] <homanj> bruenig: thanks.
[04:17] <ks1> sivik, is your using in the "video" group?
[04:17] <davascript_home> i believe intllikey makes sense in his answers
[04:17] <sivik> ks1: do what?
[04:18] <davascript_home> if you install the correct tools the symlinks should be there on installation
[04:19] <sivik> kd1: why is it trying to load a joystick?
[04:19] <Gesus> hi i have just mounted an ext3 partition and i'm trying to write to the drive but it is telling me i don't have permission.  how do i change these permissions?  in fstab i've got "defaults,rw,user,errors=remount-ro" as the options.  is that right?  i am pretty much a noob.
[04:19] <ekimus> panfist: click "login to edit" at the top of the page?
[04:20] <sivik> ks1: there is nothing on this page: http://linuxmint.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=6314: about sound or alsa
[04:20] <intelikey> Gesus  ",rw,user,"  is not needed.      sudo chmod <perms> /mount/point/of/the/fs
[04:20] <davascript_home> Gesus if you moutn it as root it will be owned by root
[04:20] <ks1> sivik, your problem is not related to alsa... mp3lib/ffmpeg problem.
[04:20] <ekimus> Gesus: you need to chown and/or chmod the mountpoint
[04:20] <ks1> sivik, http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.linux.misc/browse_thread/thread/63f0fc3936ff9ecd/6f34a3c38833c253?lnk=st&q=%5BVO_3DFX%5D+Unable+to+open+%2Fdev%2F3dfx.&rnum=1&hl=en#6f34a3c38833c253
[04:20] <davascript_home> try as root chown -R <username> /path/share
[04:20] <panfist> ekimus: yeah i found it, i said nevermind right after i asked, but its nice to know that someone's listening
[04:20] <crimsun> jmworx: tonight. I'll upload it to -updates, and then it should be accepted in the morning (EU business hours)
[04:20] <ks1> that is for your video problem
[04:20] <ekimus> :)
[04:21] <sivik> ks1: ok
[04:21] <intelikey> davascript_home ext#.   the ownership and perms are on the fs.  mount doesn't affect them
[04:21] <apallo> how do i install a gdm theme i just downloaded?
[04:21] <sivik> so its an issue with my video card
[04:21] <intelikey> davascript_home i believe you were thinking  M$ fs's
[04:21] <ks1> sivik, basically in mplayer you need to select ffmpeg (has to be installed already, which it should be) and also a video out that works.
[04:22] <sivik> ks1: but it isn't working in xine or totem either
[04:22] <davascript_home> nah samba mounts on root in gentoo will be owned by root until chowned to owner
[04:22] <davascript_home> habit
[04:22] <sivik> its not just a mplayer issue, mplayer just outputs stuff when i run it from terminal/konsole
[04:22] <ks1> sivik, try installing ffmpeg
[04:22] <ekimus> intelikey: but the permissions of the mountpoint itself affect them if i remember right so davascript_home is right to some extent..
[04:22] <davascript_home> thank you ekimus
[04:22] <ks1> sivik, totem/xine should output also to terminal
[04:22] <sivik> ks1
[04:22] <sivik> ks1: let me show you what xine does
[04:22] <intelikey> ekimus owning it and chmoding it yes.  mount   no.
[04:23] <hooloo> I'm trying to get Ubuntu to see a networked printer on an Apple Airport Extreme
[04:23] <davascript_home> well ok if root did mkdir then the moutnpoint would keep root perms
[04:23] <sivik> ks1: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9042/ thats all that is outputed
[04:23] <davascript_home> due to the fact that root is the owner of the moutn point
[04:23] <ekimus> intelikey: arguable (but it's 0423am here and I'm to tired to do that...)
[04:23] <hooloo> The printer is a Canon i320
[04:23] <bimberi> apallo: System -> Administratoin -> Login Window, Add
[04:23] <intelikey> no the dir is not affecting it either.  it's the actual fs.   the mountpoints perms will revert when umounted.
[04:24] <GaiaX11> Which is the best email account to register in my kopete/gaim?  bla_bla_bla@hotmail.com or bla_bla_bla@msn.com or other ?

[04:24] <Ltar> there's been a change to DST?
[04:24] <davascript_home> they have nothign to revert to if root made the dir
[04:24] <ks1> sivik, ive referenced you to all that i can find for your problem. Maybe someone else has faced that problem before.
[04:24] <ekimus> hmm ok then it was some bsd where you had to set the mountpoint permissions to allow users to access it...nevermind
[04:24] <apallo> i'm trying to use the theme preference thing and it keeps telling me that the file format is invalid

[04:25] <xyz-abc> please help, I cant find/launch the NTFS Configuration Tool!
[04:25] <ks1> sivik, i dont know why it would just start happening. Are you sure you didn't change something?
[04:25] <wifioh> is there any way to force checkinstall into not using the packagename-version-release.deb syntax. i'd like checkinstall to use packagename-version.deb syntax instead

[04:26] <xyz-abc> sorry
[04:26] <crimsun> davascript_home: would you rephrase the question, please?
[04:27] <bimberi> apallo: System -> Administratoin -> Login Window, Add
[04:27] <Concorde> Hi Guys, Just wanted to say that I enjoy using Ubuntu
[04:27] <xyz-abc> are you saying that to me?
[04:27] <davascript_home> kernel managemant as afar as upgrading or using another flaver
[04:27] <weijie902> Concorde: congrats and welcome
[04:27] <crimsun> davascript_home: right, but your question currently is too vague. What do you wish to know specifically?
[04:28] <hooloo> My printer apparently isn't supported in Linux, but I got it working under Mac OS X, which also uses CUPS.
[04:28] <apallo> thanks bimberi!
[04:28] <Crescendo> Oh my goodness.  I didn't know you could hover over an MP3 and have it play.
[04:28] <Crescendo> I <3 Ubuntu.
[04:28] <intelikey> davascript_home suit your self.
[04:28] <xyz-abc> please help, I cant find/launch the NTFS Configuration Tool!

[04:28] <bimberi> apallo: yw :)
[04:28] <sivik> GaiaX11, it shouldn't matter
[04:28] <ekimus> davascript_home: it's just placing the image, initrd and modules in the right places and then reconfiguring grup with a script (some text processing)
[04:28] <Concorde> Crescendo, I really enjoy using the Rhythm Music Player. Works very well for me :)
[04:29] <VoX> xyz-abc: stop repeating.
[04:29] <xyz-abc> why?
[04:29] <Crescendo> Rhythmbox is hawt.
[04:29] <craigbass1976> When you're setting up a web server, how do you set it up so that it runs on 8080 instead of 80?  I edited the conf file to listen on 8080, and the firewall has a hole at 8080, but still no love.
[04:29] <xyz-abc> i really need help
[04:29] <GaiaX11> sivik: Which is the fastest? Hotmail our Msn or other?
[04:29] <Crescendo> Also, I love wget.

[04:29] <VoX> xyz-abc: maybe, just MAYBE if someone knew how to help, they would be already?
[04:29] <ekimus> xyz-abc: probably nobody knows it
[04:30] <crimsun> intelikey: only a small subset; what's the issue?
[04:30] <xyz-abc> well... there are instructions and i follow4ed them precisely
[04:30] <Rio> i got an error, saying "ProFTPd warning: not start neither in standalone nor in inetd/xinetd mode, apparently. Check your configuration." what configuration would i be checking?
[04:30] <pwnzorz> hey, does anyone know why the refresh rate in ubuntu is horrible?
[04:30] <xyz-abc> but i just cant find the app
[04:30] <davascript_home> so using any kernel image and compiling it placing it and rewriting grub files thats it
[04:30] <arrenlex> xyz-abc: What was the name of the package you installed it from?
[04:30] <davascript_home> easy enough
[04:30] <intelikey> crimsun it just restarts and restarts....  no error messages
[04:30] <hooloo> pwnzorz: What kind of monitor are you using?
[04:30] <cosmo__> for webmail I would say Gmail, hotmail and msn are dog slow and a pain in the butt
[04:30] <xyz-abc> ntfs-config
[04:30] <crimsun> davascript_home: well, the package management infrastructure is a bit more subtle than that
[04:30] <switchy> hi all, is there any way I can change the color of the highlighting that occurs when I select text?
[04:30] <ekimus> xyz-abc: explaining your problem more precise is half the solution, which instructions, which package, etc, etc, yadda, yadda :)
[04:31] <arrenlex> xyz-abc: Type "dpkg -L ntfs-config | grep bin"
[04:31] <sm0k3d> does any1 know what port 58010 is? im looking at firestarter and the event log is showing a lot of people trying to connect to this port
[04:31] <intelikey> crimsun X will run.   but gdm wont.  i have no clue why   ???
[04:31] <blanky> hey guys what's a good samba gui frontend
[04:31] <crimsun> intelikey: nothing odd in /var/log/gdm/:0.log ?
[04:31] <hooloo> I can't make heads or tails of the printer configuration utility.
[04:31] <ekimus> davascript_home: there's a more ubuntu like way just a sec...
[04:31] <arrenlex> blanky: For configuring or for using?

[04:32] <intelikey> crimsun no error in /var/log/gdm/*
[04:32] <crimsun> intelikey: breezy, dapper, edgy or feisty?
[04:32] <blanky> arrenlex: er...I simply want to share my printer that's connected to this computer to everyone on my network like I do on windows, what should I do, do I need samba?
[04:32] <intelikey> crimsun no error on the command line when starting gdm from console.

[04:33] <arrenlex> blanky: Samba configuration?
[04:33] <xyz-abc> it says its not installed :(
[04:34] <Dougie> can anyone help me a but with loading the fglrx driver?
[04:34] <arrenlex> xyz-abc: That would explain why you can't find it.
[04:34] <xyz-abc> but i reallly thought i did install it
[04:34] <arrenlex> Dougie: What problems are you having? How did you install it?
[04:34] <Concorde> Nice chatting with you all.. Soon Windows will only be installed on my house :)
[04:34] <hooloo> I'm trying to get my less geeky family members interested in Ubuntu, so I want the printer working.
[04:34] <blanky> arrenlex: I guess, look man I'm at point 0, I'm wondering what should I do first, get a gui frontend for configuring samba?
[04:35] <hooloo> Oh well. writing a device driver is a perfect excuse for learning C.
[04:35] <crimsun> intelikey: and none of /, /home, /var and /tmp are full, correct?
[04:35] <dEn_> help: i installed OpenSSh and when i try and connect to localhost i get this error ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host , my installation is default .
[04:35] <arrenlex> blanky: Are you interested in sharing any folders or just the printer?
[04:35] <Dougie> arrenlex: i used the apt-get and it installed off my ubuntu cd i used the ati guide from ubuntu and it installed everything and the resolution change and all that but when i check the fglrx driver is not loaded and i cant modprobe it or anything its just not there
[04:35] <intelikey> crimsun correct it's not a disk space error
[04:35] <pwnzorz> who actually only uses ubuntu??? just would like to know... ;)
[04:35] <Dougie> pwnzorz as of now its the only os on my computer
[04:36] <blanky> arrenlex: just the printer please
[04:36] <intelikey> pwnzorz does only linux count ?
[04:36] <davascript_home> a lot of peopl euse ubuntu
[04:36] <arrenlex> blanky: What's your windows network name? Default is MSHOME.
[04:36] <pwnzorz> yes
[04:36] <davascript_home> 956 nicks in here
[04:36] <blanky> arrenlex: HOME
[04:36] <arrenlex> blanky: Pick a name for this machine. Like LINUXBOX.
[04:36] <pwnzorz> so people actually use linux as primary...
[04:36] <intelikey> i think the key word was "only" uses ...
[04:36] <crimsun> intelikey: hmm, and startx works fine? Do you have an ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession ?
[04:36] <davascript_home> default can be WORKGROUP on OEM dics
[04:37] <Concorde> pwnzers, I use XP only in a virtual machine within Ubuntu. I will be removing XP for good (dual-boot right now) next week.
[04:37] <blanky> arrenlex: BLANKY :)
[04:37] <dEn_> pwnzorz:  its been a year since i switched to only ubuntu
[04:37] <cosmo__> once I get this installed and running right the only reason I plan on using windows is for work and for some games, and thats only because the software won't run in linux
[04:37] <hooloo> Just curious: is the kernel closer to micro or monolithic?
[04:37] <davascript_home> <fully linux 5 machines
[04:37] <arrenlex> hooloo: mono
[04:37] <pwnzorz> zomg!! who can get all windows games e.g. half-life 2 workin on ubuntu/linux!!!
[04:37] <davascript_home> <all servers at work run linux
[04:37] <intelikey> crimsun .xsession  yes no .xinitrc   but i moved the .xsession out of the way and tested  no change.
[04:37] <_cerberus_> does anyone know how to fix a freshly compiled kernel which freezes on boot just after registering usbhid? kernel is 2.6.19.7 and downloaded from kernel.org
[04:37] <arrenlex> blanky: Pick a name for your printer.
[04:37] <deep> pwnzorz: wine ;D
[04:38] <Concorde> deep beated me to the typing
[04:38] <cefx> or cedega
[04:38] <deep> :D
[04:38] <mad28> i give up
[04:38] <Dougie> windows just got on my bad side too much and i decided i didn't want to use it anymore...i'm also building a mac clone and running osx-x86 on it but other then that i don't use anything but osx and ubuntu from now on
[04:38] <mad28> can't get this ubuntu instalation going
[04:38] <deep> Yeah, or cedega ^^
[04:38] <mad28> :(
[04:38] <Concorde> later all have a good night/day
[04:38] <intelikey> crimsun gdm only gets to a (watch) cursor and resets.
[04:38] <Dougie> arrenlex: did you see my reply on how i installed it and what not?
[04:38] <arrenlex> blanky: Pick a name for your printer.
[04:38] <cosmo__> luckily I got permission from my job to try and get their software to work on linux, I will be so happy if I can get it to work
[04:38] <hooloo> I would use Ubuntu full-time if I could find a Final Cut Pro replacement.
[04:38] <arrenlex> Dougie: Yes I did, but I don't really know how to help. I never had problems installing it, only configuring it.
[04:38] <dEn_> help: i installed OpenSSh and when i try and connect to localhost i get this error ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host , my installation is default .
[04:39] <blanky> sorry arrenlex ! was away, how about, printy
[04:39] <deep> mad28: whats the problem?
[04:39] <arrenlex> hooloo: Blender has a movie editing component. Have you looked into it?
[04:39] <pwnzorz> who's seen kiba dock!
[04:39] <deep> pwnzorz: i have. (:
[04:39] <pwnzorz> who knows how to install linux drivers.. pm me!
[04:39] <hooloo> And get my printer working!
[04:39] <Dougie> arrenlex: its just not loading the module...idk why everything installed just fine i didn't have any errors durring the install
[04:39] <deep> !anyone | pwnzorz
[04:39] <ubotu> pwnzorz: 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?
[04:39] <deep> hmm (:
[04:39] <arrenlex> Dougie: What happens if you try to load it manually? sudo modprobe -v fglrx
[04:39] <intelikey> crimsun one other Q right quick.   what would be the proper way to start a gnome session from a console if i started X from root ?   will  gnome-session --display :0  work ?
[04:39] <mad28> i cant get raid0 to be recognized on livecd
[04:40] <deep> pwnzorz: what drivers? :P
[04:40] <pwnzorz> idk just help me!!!
[04:40] <x2mjokada> Hey guys, I'm wondering if there's a command to access the trash can, because I'm on fluxbox and I want to create an icon so that when I click on it it takes me to the trash can like in Gnome and KDE. If there is a command, what is its name? If not, what do you guys suggest I do?
[04:40] <blanky> arrenlex?
[04:40] <arrenlex> blanky: I assume you use cups for printing?
[04:40] <intelikey> crimsun or am i in the wrong ball park there ?
[04:40] <crimsun> intelikey: hmm, does stopping *dm, erasing /tmp's contents, and restarting gdm help?
[04:40] <pwnzorz> pm me fools!!!
[04:40] <deep> pwnzorz: you just want *any* driver? :D
[04:40] <blanky> arrenlex: I assume that too haha, yeah I'm pretty sure

[04:41] <blanky> arrenlex: installed
[04:41] <ekimus> pwnzorz: you were about to :)
[04:42] <arrenlex> blanky: Run this: sudo wget http://68.148.168.84:8001/smb.conf.blanky -O/etc/samba/smb.conf

[04:43] <blanky> nope, none that I can see
[04:43] <weijie902> stb: drag it over
[04:43] <intelikey> crimsun anything else i might try ?
[04:43] <arrenlex> Dougie: No idea, sorry... maybe they know more about fglrx in #ubuntu-effects
[04:43] <blanky> oh wait
[04:43] <pwnzorz> ...i've tried a bajillion million catrillion of those howto's it dont work!!!

[04:44] <Popoi> How do I install a .deb package based on x86 on my x64 system?
[04:44] <ekimus> cosmo__: being a newbie: no - if want to risk breaking your system you can apt-get update && apt-get upgrade - then replace all references to feisty in your sources.list with edgy - apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade and hope it still works. My guess is you will end up downloading an edgy iso either way :)
[04:44] <xyz-abc> now i need to mount my windows ... somehow
[04:44] <pwnzorz> how come the windows are so laggy in ubuntu...
[04:44] <gesus> hi there. i've made a huge mistake and have screwed up my /etc/fstab file.  i did back it up in /etc/fstab.bak but, when i try to replace the new file with the old, it says the drive is read only!! i am using the ubuntu live cd at the moment.  help!!
[04:44] <stb> that doesn't work
[04:44] <deep> pwnzorz: ofc they do. And its simple. sudoa pt-cache search fglrx to find the package, then edit "driver "ati"" or whatever in xorg.conf to "fglrx"
[04:44] <arrenlex> Popoi: You don't. You get the right one.
[04:44] <Flannel> ekimus, cosmo__, downgrading isn't supported, and no, that won't work.  You'd have to manually pin each Edgy file back to an edgy file
[04:44] <crimsun> intelikey: that problem I haven't seen. Did it just begin happening after some set of package errata updates?
[04:44] <weijie902> dEn_: thanks... but im unsure about the newer ones
[04:44] <mad28> deep ,can you help me to recognize a raid0 on a ich8r controler, with ubuntu livecd
[04:45] <arrenlex> gesus: Open the terminal.
[04:45] <deep> pwnzorz: you'r using the wrond driver.
[04:45] <blanky> arrenlex: oh no didn't get any errors
[04:45] <blanky> arrenlex: now what
[04:45] <cosmo__> ok I will just download edgy then
[04:45] <weijie902> gesus: u need to mount it as rw
[04:45] <arrenlex> blanky: sudo /etc/init.d/samba force-reload
[04:45] <deep> mad28: no, im sorry, never done anything _at all_ with raid. :/
[04:45] <ekimus> Flannel: i know downgrading isn't supported hence the 1st part of the answer :)
[04:45] <pwnzorz> serious deep... dude i'm dumb *hits himself over the head
[04:45] <arrenlex> gesus: What drive is ubuntu on?
[04:45] <cosmo__> no big deal, was just wondering if there was a shorter way  =)
[04:45] <blanky> arrenlex: done
[04:45] <intelikey> crimsun sorta.  i installed gnome and gdm  and that started happening...   heh.
[04:45] <mad28> thx anyway :)
[04:45] <gesus> arrenlex: on hda1
[04:45] <mad28> anyone can help me to recognize a raid0 on a ich8r controler, with ubuntu livecd
[04:45] <dEn_> weijie902: theres a site some thing like linux devices and they have all laptops with what works and what dosnt google it.
[04:45] <deep> pwnzorz: mabie you should read the howto's a bit closer? :)
[04:45] <arrenlex> blanky: Now go to your windows boxen and open network neighbourhood and see if they have a new friend. :)
[04:45] <pwnzorz> grrrrrrrrr
[04:45] <billy> billy_ might have quit but the real billy is still here.

[04:46] <deep> pwnzorz: please be a bit nice.

[04:46] <arrenlex> weijie902: If he runs into problems, then we'll handle that.
[04:46] <deep> pwnzorz: thanx, i guess.

[04:52] <ekimus> yurimxpxman: what does the access log say? are .php files configured in apache[2]  to be interpreted by the php (and personally: don't use php, it needs lot of discipline to write nice code - use something like rails or pylons)
[04:52] <blanky> arrenlex: maybe share modes = Yes instead of no?
[04:52] <eyecue> i su to root on the livecd, and it asks for a pass, its not '' password/root or ubuntu.
[04:52] <eyecue> anyway.
[04:52] <eyecue> im out.

[04:52] <bruenig> eyecue, sudo command
[04:52] <Flannel> eyecue: Ubuntu doesn;t use su, it uses sudo
[04:52] <cosmo__> is it just me or are more and more people migrating from window to linux ever since vista came out?
[04:52] <bimberi> eyecue: or 'sudo -i' to get a root shell
[04:52] <arrenlex> blanky: Wait, who is unable to connect to the windows box?
[04:53] <kaozpirate> hi I have an ubuntu grub question
[04:53] <deep> bimberi: is'n it "sudo -s"?
[04:53] <blanky> arrenlex: no no no, windows box unable to connect to printer
[04:53] <bruenig> or sudo su
[04:53] <h1st0> IS there a way to search the bash history?
[04:53] <ekimus> cosmo__: it's just you, it's always this way with a new windows version for some time...
[04:53] <ToddEDM> i installed the .deb of unrar-free , but where do i find it ?????????????????//
[04:53] <crimsun> h1st0: ctrl+r
[04:53] <deep> h1st0: ctrl + r
[04:53] <makuseru> how can i change the default audio track on an ogm file?
[04:53] <blanky> arrenlex: windows recognizes the printer (it autocompleted the path) but then after adding it it says access denied unable to connect
[04:53] <kaozpirate> i have my machine dual booted with Winxp and ubuntu dapper... XP crapped itself and I am scared to run the xp repair
[04:53] <bruenig> ToddEDM, it is command line
[04:53] <arrenlex> ToddEDM: dpkg -L unrar-free
[04:53] <blanky> arrenlex: maybe /etc/samba/smb.conf share modes = yes instead of no?
[04:53] <bimberi> deep: either, '-i' sets up the environment as if you've logged in as root.  Do both and check the result of 'echo $USER'
[04:54] <kaozpirate> if I run the repair is it going to screw up grub and keep me from being able to get back in to ubuntu?
[04:54] <arrenlex> blanky: My windows machines can see my printer with that file.
[04:54] <bruenig> h1st0, cat ~/.bash_history | grep "searchstring"
[04:54] <deep> bimberi: :O willdo
[04:54] <h1st0> crimsun: deep cool ty.
[04:54] <blanky> arrenlex: yeah mine too but mine can't actually use it
[04:54] <h1st0> bruenig: ctrl + r is what I was looking for.
[04:54] <cosmo__> from what little I have seen of ubuntu and some of the others linux 90% of the times seems to work as good as windows if not better in some way
[04:54] <kaozpirate> i know WinXP changed the boot record of the harddrive correct?
[04:54] <bimberi> deep: sorry, 'echo $HOME' I mean
[04:54] <blanky> arrenlex: woops nvm, seems to be working
[04:54] <h1st0> cosmo__: I'm much more happy now with linux than I was with windows.
[04:55] <Khaatio> i eat three bigmacs every day
[04:55] <yurimxpxman> I can't find anything in the logs mentioning my php file

[04:58] <arrenlex> ToddEDM: dpkg -L unrar-free lists all the files in that package.
[04:58] <rainwalker> Anyone here know anything about KeyTouch?
[04:58] <Flannel> !grub | kaozpirate, first link
[04:58] <ubotu> kaozpirate, first link: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[04:58] <foutrelis> Rio: I am not sure but you could try dpkg-reconfigure foo
[04:58] <h1st0> !anyone | rainwalker
[04:58] <ubotu> rainwalker: 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?
[04:58] <blanky> man, I guess I'll have to boot into windows just to have my brother print this crap
[04:58] <Xenguy> any one
[04:58] <makuseru> how can i change the default audio track on an ogm file?
[04:58] <g3nocide> !beryl
[04:58] <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
[04:58] <kaozpirate> thanks guys
[04:59] <ToddEDM> arrenlex: can i PM you ?
[04:59] <bruenig> ToddEDM, do man unrar-free it will tell you
[04:59] <apocalypse> Is it normal for a pentium III machine w/ 320mb RAM running xubuntu edgy to never run out of RAM but the processor is at 100% after doing anything from opening firefox to opening a termainl window?
[04:59] <Xenguy> Beryl is eye-candy that has an inexplicable marketing hypnotic effect on terminal users of vista-like products...
[04:59] <ToddEDM> ohh o k
[04:59] <Xenguy> sorry, mistook myself for a bot there for a second
[04:59] <rainwalker> I'm using the KeyTouch 2.2.2 package on Edgy, should I upgrade to the beta 5 package or stick with this one?
[05:00] <dEn_> help: i installed OpenSSh and when i try and connect to localhost i get this error ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host , my installation is default .

[05:00] <Xenguy> tj007s13: check your permissions; that is all :-)
[05:01] <Flannel> yurimxpxman: Uh, hmm.  Stop apache (sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop) then start it with apache2ctl, see what errors it gives
[05:01] <cosmo__> yeah but for eye candy I find beryl to be much cooler than areo hehe
[05:01] <Khaatio> Ubuntu strange name
[05:01] <apocalypse> h1st0: sorry um. this is an old machine... um. .... how do i fin dout?
[05:01] <tj007s13> Xenguy, how do i change permissions to this folder and all of its subfolders, I want to be able to read,write,execute,the whole works
[05:01] <apocalypse> h1st0: 731.650
[05:01] <ToddEDM> ok i see the manual, but i wish it would give an example, since im not too familiar with the command line
[05:01] <h1st0> apocalypse: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[05:02] <bruenig> ToddEDM, I have unrar, the non free version, else I would install and see
[05:02] <Xenguy> tj007s13: chmod -R
[05:02] <h1st0> apocalypse: The system shouldn't be a dog.  Are you using the linux-image-generic kernel?
[05:02] <Xenguy> tj007s13: man chmod
[05:02] <ToddEDM> is there any unrar programs that are in .deb files?
[05:02] <bruenig> ToddEDM, do unrar-free --help, should be some condensed help that will be more usable
[05:02] <apocalypse> h1st0: 2.6.17-11-generic
[05:02] <ekimus> it doesn't matter which PIII I'm running a P1 100MHz with ubuntu and it's neither swapping nor eating up all cpu..... ubuntu-desktop+firefox+terminal should at most have 1-3 secs 100% cpu (during app startup imho) or something goes terribly wrong
[05:02] <h1st0> ToddEDM: there is unrar in teh repos
[05:02] <ekimus> s/I'm/apocalypse
[05:03] <ToddEDM> !repos
[05:03] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[05:03] <ToddEDM> ok
[05:03] <makuseru> Khaatio: its an afrcan word, meaning "Humanity towards others"
[05:03] <h1st0> apocalypse: is it just opening firefox that you see it go to 100?
[05:04] <h1st0> !rar | ToddEDM
[05:04] <ubotu> ToddEDM: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[05:04] <apocalypse> h1st0: when ever i do anything. Opening a command line, switching tabs in ff, switchign desktops, alt+tab
[05:04] <ToddEDM> h1st0:  that one is not free though
[05:05] <xyz-abc> arrenlex, still there?
[05:05] <ToddEDM> i do have it, but being a noob i would like a .deb
[05:05] <makuseru> how can i change the default audio track on an ogm file?
[05:05] <bruenig> ToddEDM, the repos are debs
[05:05] <h1st0> ToddEDM: What do you want to do?  Do you care if its free or nonfree?
[05:05] <bruenig> ToddEDM, nonfree means that it is not open source, it doesn't mean you have to pay
[05:05] <h1st0> ToddEDM: and not $ that is the software license free vs. nonfree
[05:05] <ekimus> apocalypse: is that a slow hard disk in this box? - there's a possibility that your box is just waiting on blocking i/o and therefor has lots of system load
[05:05] <xyz-abc> bruenig, can you help me install ntfs-config?
[05:06] <ToddEDM> well if its non free, its prolly a trial or something
[05:06] <h1st0> ToddEDM: nO
[05:06] <bruenig> xyz-abc, no
[05:06] <h1st0> ToddEDM: non free means its not open source.  Its still free.
[05:06] <h1st0> !free | ToddEDM
[05:06] <ubotu> ToddEDM: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing
[05:06] <xyz-abc> mkay.. :(
[05:06] <ToddEDM> ohhhh cool
[05:06] <ToddEDM> thanks
[05:06] <apocalypse> ekimus: i honestly don't know. the HD is probably as old as the computer is. IT was just an extra one sitting at home that was dying using xp so i put xubuntu on it.
[05:06] <h1st0> ToddEDM: just install the nonfree version
[05:06] <xyz-abc> i followed the directions here: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009 exactly but it wasnt able to install ntfs-config

[05:07] <xyz-abc> arrenlex, i just cant install the damn thing
[05:07] <ekimus> apocalypse: you have a dying hard disk and install a new OS on it?

[05:12] <tonyyarusso> tj007s13: sounds like a bad combo of options in your vsftpd.conf
[05:12] <ekimus> apocalypse: now thats fsck and it only checks your filesystem, you want smartd smartctl and such (can't remember the package name now)
[05:12] <makuseru> how can i change the default audio track on an ogm file?
[05:12] <apocalypse> ekimus; oh i see.. so i should just run oen of the smart toosl to check my harddrive helath?

[05:14] <ekimus> apocalypse: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/monitoring-hard-disk-health-with-smartd-under-linux-or-unix-operating-systems.html should get you started - haven't used windows in years (well not longer than 30 Minutes a week which were painful enough) so I don't know sorry
[05:14] <ToddEDM> its working ... whatever it is, lol
[05:15] <apocalypse> ekimus: thanks a lot. really appreciate it. and if you want to know painful. you should try vista........ omgg..
[05:15] <bruenig> ToddEDM, it is enabling the extra repos, unrar is not in the main ones that are enabled by default being nonfree and all
[05:15] <ToddEDM> ohhhh , coool so i will have more junk to download
[05:15] <ToddEDM> thank you
[05:15] <ekimus> apocalypse: i have a feeling i have to, need to test our company vpn with it and make sure it'll work :(
[05:16] <Tonren> Can anyone help me get hibernate working?
[05:16] <bruenig> ToddEDM, now you should be able to right click on a rar file and just choose extract here, if you want to do it command line, you will need to do rar e whatever.rar
[05:17] <ToddEDM> lol , clicking is my thing
[05:17] <bruenig> or actually unrar e whatever.rar
[05:17] <ToddEDM> thanks man, i really appreciate it
[05:17] <apocalypse> ekimus: wouldn't recommend it for anythign company related at all.
[05:17] <ToddEDM> now i can watch UFC68
[05:18] <h1st0> Shadow_mil: Yeah this program really sucks I remember this.
[05:19] <ekimus> apocalypse: we won't get it (actually there's just one windows box left here) but we have quite a few customers that have vpn access and i have a feeling they really need vista because nothing will work anymore without it .oO(digging out old bofh phrases right now for that case)

[05:22] <eontasticness> so i have 10 hard drives in my system whats an easy way to determine where i installed grub
[05:22] <dustin> what is a text based cd burner program
[05:22] <LiENUS> wtf eontasticness
[05:22] <LiENUS> hth do you have 10?
[05:22] <eontasticness> dustin: cdrecord
[05:22] <dustin> the name of one
[05:22] <eontasticness> LiENUS: i have Raid 6
[05:22] <dustin> ok thank you
[05:22] <eontasticness> and then two for the os
[05:22] <eontasticness> 8+2=10
[05:22] <omglazers> Anyone here use xubuntu over ubuntu? I was wondering how XFCE does compared to Gnome?
[05:22] <bruenig> omglazers, I use it
[05:22] <LiENUS> raid six doesnt explain hth you have 10
[05:22] <omglazers> Heard xfce was a lot faster and less bulkier
[05:22] <LiENUS> since ide supports 4
[05:22] <h1st0> Shadow_mil: basicaly you need to get teh p2k values from moto4lin's wiki and plug those in.
[05:22] <omglazers> bruenig: Happy with it? Just curious for opinions
[05:22] <eontasticness> LiENUS: Serial ATA, welcome to the 21st century :)
[05:23] <eontasticness> LiENUS: 8x250gb sata
[05:23] <AndyTPO> Hello all!
[05:23] <eontasticness> 8 sata channels on my motherboard
[05:23] <ekimus> eontasticness: set up an iscsi target on that box?
[05:23] <stone-unix> ekimus: http://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/g3/bells.htm
[05:23] <eontasticness> then i have a pci controller with 4 more sata
[05:23] <stone-unix> kill time
[05:23] <wasabi> Heh. I've had 25 drives on plain ATA cards in the past.
[05:23] <wasabi> Let alone SCSI.
[05:23] <h1st0> Shadow_mil: ahh here we go http://moto4lin.sourceforge.net/wiki/Razr_V3m
[05:23] <wasabi> eontasticness: don't worry about it. Just install grub on all of em.
[05:23] <wasabi> That's what I tend to do. :)
[05:23] <eontasticness> heh
[05:23] <wasabi> Great backup.
[05:23] <tj007s13> I tried to chmod my folder in linux, so i don't get the 550 error about changing directories in ftp, but when i do that i get a "500 OOPS: vsftpd: refusing to run with writable anonymous root
[05:23] <eontasticness> i guess so
[05:23] <bruenig> omglazers, xfce is great, there is nothing that gnome has over it, it is obviously much faster, but it doesn't really lose much as far as configurability. Like for instance it has keyboard shortcuts, but it allows you to bind them to commands instead of specific things that it already lays out which was a big plus at least for me (I hated the gnome "launch music player")
[05:24] <highwaycop> i am a new linux user need helpppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
[05:24] <wasabi> I RAID1 /boot across ALL of my disks.
[05:24] <wasabi> Sicne it's so small.
[05:24] <eontasticness> i didnt even think about it
[05:24] <wasabi> And put grub on ALL of htem.
[05:24] <bruenig> !justask
[05:24] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:24] <wasabi> Then split the rest of the disks up into various things.
[05:24] <omglazers> bruenig: Sounds like a good testimonial to me
[05:24] <eontasticness> my fileserver running centos crashed the raid6 the other week
[05:24] <Shadow_mil> h1st0: now to see if it will work
[05:24] <eontasticness> so im trying ubuntu server
[05:24] <h1st0> Shadow_mil: yeah i'm playing with mine to.  I remember it was a pita.
[05:24] <wasabi> That way if any disk goes out, you can get the BIOS to boot from one of the drives.
[05:24] <Neronious> when listing directories with ls how do i pause the screen?
[05:24] <wasabi> Neronious: ls | less
[05:24] <omglazers> !justask > highwaycop
[05:24] <LiENUS> why exactly is the package labeled firebird2-super-server if its firebird 1.5.3?

[05:25] <LiENUS> crimsun, what?
[05:26] <LiENUS> crimsun,  that answers nothing
[05:26] <bruenig> n-iCe, what number
[05:26] <Shadow_mil> h1st0: YEAH!
[05:26] <crimsun> LiENUS: read above.
[05:26] <n-iCe> bruenig no idea which one is the lastest
[05:26] <bruenig> n-iCe, well then it appears that it isn't that big a deal, just sudo apt-get install amsn
[05:26] <crimsun> LiENUS: firebird2-super-server is a DB, not the firebird you're thinking of
[05:26] <Shadow_mil> h1st0: IT WORKS IT WORKS!!!
[05:26] <LiENUS> crimsun,  i know what firebird is
[05:26] <n-iCe> bruenig that install the last version ?
[05:26] <LiENUS> the browser is firefox not firebird
[05:26] <n-iCe> i don't think so
[05:26] <n-iCe> 0.96
[05:26] <LiENUS> firebird is at 2.0
[05:26] <ekimus> stone-unix: no but it would make missing one of those bells more fun since just landing is a bit boring imho (maybe there's an 'adult version')
[05:26] <bruenig> n-iCe, you just said you didn't know what the latest was
[05:27] <LiENUS> firebird package is labeled firebird2-super-server but its version 1.5.3, why?
[05:27] <n-iCe> bruenig i joined to amsn channel and i saw it
[05:27] <propagandhi> #antimicrosoft
[05:27] <n-iCe> :) what i need to do
[05:27] <crimsun> LiENUS: dude, you're not reading what the bot just pasted
[05:27] <crimsun> LiENUS: it's a DATABASE
[05:27] <AndyTPO> New Ubuntu user. Trying to install printer Brother MFC 420CN with USB connection. Printer shows in Add new printer as attached to computer but can not get it to work. Need drivers? Help please.
[05:27] <stone-unix> ekimus: so bloody adult, :)
[05:27] <LiENUS> crimsun,  i know its a database its on www.firebirdsql.org
[05:27] <bruenig> n-iCe, what does this version have that you need over the repository version which is 0.95
[05:27] <LiENUS> look at the latest version
[05:27] <LiENUS> 2.0
[05:27] <LiENUS> they're testing 2.0.1 now
[05:27] <LiENUS> i've been using firebird for 5 years now
[05:27] <n-iCe> briguyd i want to have the lastest version
[05:27] <crimsun> LiENUS: and at the time of Edgy's release, 1.5.3 was in the repo
[05:28] <LiENUS> then why is it called firebird2?
[05:28] <briguyd> n-iCe, you mean bruenig
[05:28] <crimsun> LiENUS: we don't update packages in a frozen release
[05:28] <blanky> hey arrenlex, I'm on fluxbox and I need a way to access my 'trash can' through a gui file manager like rox filer, what's the path to the trash can? if there even is one?
[05:28] <ekimus> stone-unix: i could say naked bunnies are boring - but that could be misleading (speaking of adult)
[05:28] <h1st0> Shadow_mil: sw33t yeah it does.
[05:28] <LiENUS> why label it firebird2 though?
[05:28] <h1st0> Shadow_mil: cool
[05:28] <n-iCe> bruenig ** =p
[05:28] <highwaycop> can any one help me installing PCM (Personal Security Manager)
[05:28] <crimsun> LiENUS: because it's a direct inheritance from Debian
[05:28] <arrenlex> blanky: Isn't it in ~/.trash?
[05:28] <blanky> arrenlex: no such file, cap t and it works though
[05:28] <arrenlex> blanky: Alternatively, look on the Desktop.
[05:28] <bruenig> n-iCe, well here is the deal, if you can't think of anything that you want out of the new one, there is no reason to waste time explaining to you how to compile this which could be very involved.
[05:28] <arrenlex> blanky: ~/Desktop
[05:28] <blanky> arrenlex: in fluxbox?
[05:28] <Shadow_mil> h1st0: it might be crappy, beats the hell out of paying for commerce software though
[05:29] <arrenlex> blanky: Maybe ~/Desktop/trash
[05:29] <crimsun> LiENUS: note how there are no Ubuntu changes. The source package was synced directly from Debian. If you have issue with the naming, file a bug on Debian's BTS.
[05:29] <h1st0> Shadow_mil: Well I didn't know you could save the settings then run it as sudo like this.
[05:29] <stone-unix> ekimus: enjoy, score high
[05:29] <h1st0> Shadow_mil: that will take away the crappiness
[05:29] <n-iCe> bruenig :o is difficult ?
[05:29] <Lord_Maynoth> does anyone know what folder the firefox plugins are in by default? can I just copy them over to my swiftfox plugins dir?
[05:29] <h1st0> Shadow_mil: Should just work now anytime you sudo moto4lin I believe.
[05:29] <Shadow_mil> lol
[05:29] <bruenig> n-iCe, I mean someone comes in here asking for rtorrent which is way behind in packaging, then it is worth my time to explain it. But for a 0.1 increase and you just want it because, there is no reason
[05:29] <h1st0> Shadow_mil: hrm.. now I have to find some skins etc... Hvae to check out the howardforums.
[05:30] <makuseru> how can i change the default audio track on an ogm file?
[05:30] <n-iCe> I want it cuz i read that the lastest version has display nudges and more things that i want =p , good reason ?
[05:30] <Shadow_mil> h1st0: if you do find some, drop me a PM
[05:31] <bruenig> n-iCe, do you know how to compile?
[05:31] <n-iCe> hahha maybe buy maybe i don't knwo it by the name
[05:31] <Shadow_mil> h1st0: once I take a lot at the skin files, it might not be hard to make your own

[05:32] <Neronious> where is my cdrom in the file system? im having trouble navigating to it...
[05:32] <bruenig> n-iCe, alright but you don't have amsn installed right?
[05:32] <billy> Neronious, try in "media"
[05:33] <n-iCe> bruenig i have it
[05:33] <k0001> jmiller565, first make sure u have 'build-essential' package installed... then go to the directory where the source is... and: ./configure; make; sudo make install
[05:33] <bruenig> n-iCe, ok well remove it with sudo apt-get remove amsn
[05:33] <n-iCe> Done
[05:33] <jmiller565> k0001: sweet thanks k0001
[05:33] <apallo> in bash, is there a way to check a variable using or seperation? like ati or Ati
[05:33] <apallo> ?
[05:33] <Zambezi> Is K3B good and stable enough or should I consider burning with Nero Linux och burning in Windows?
[05:34] <Zambezi> *or
[05:34] <Dr_willis> apallo,  you mean case insenstive searching..
[05:34] <k0001> Zambezi, it's safe and stable...

[05:34] <K3nto> whats the command to list the hardware connected to your pc
[05:34] <K3nto> !hardware
[05:34] <apallo> like if a=b or c
[05:34] <ubotu> For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[05:34] <eontasticness> K3nto: lspci
[05:34] <Dr_willis> apallo,  one way would be to just use 'tr' to translate one variable to all uppercase, then check
[05:35] <k0001> k31th lspci
[05:35] <apallo> ahhhh
[05:35] <apallo> ty
[05:35] <bruenig> n-iCe, alright here is a slew of commands that should get most of it done: cd && sudo apt-get install build-essential && sudo apt-get build-dep amsn && wget http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/amsn/amsn-0.96.tar.bz2 && tar xf amsn-0.96.tar.bz2 && cd amsn-0.96 && ./configure --prefix=/usr/local && make && sudo make install

[05:35] <n-iCe> all in one line ?
[05:35] <Zambezi> k0001, Good. Then I just need to reinstall my computer cause I need a dualboot with Windows anyway.
[05:36] <n-iCe> Done master

[05:36] <omegacenti> Read the fixresolution howto but it didnt seem to work. Need to know where I can directly edit what shows up in System-->Preferences-->Screen Resolution.
[05:36] <k0001> Zambezi ok
[05:36] <eontasticness> omegacenti:  it's all in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:36] <Dr_willis> omegacenti,  may be MUCH better idea to just manually edit your xorg.conf :)
[05:36] <Dr_willis> backup your original
[05:36] <Dr_willis> :)
[05:36] <Lord_Maynoth> haha! that worked
[05:37] <Lord_Maynoth> bye bye firefox hello swiftfox
[05:37] <K3nto> damn ipods. Is there a recovery toll for ipods for linux?

[05:40] <alliantdevil> i have a quick question (hopefully) about mounting partitions if someone would like to PM me to keep the main channel clear for others
[05:40] <bruenig> pingpongboss, well good unofficial repos are defined in terms of what you need, having a repo that doesn't contain anything you want is a bad idea because it is unnecessary and you never know it could have a different version of a package and mess up something
[05:40] <Dr_willis> arooni,  I think you need to add an entry in the xorg.conf for the synatpic touch pad.

[05:42] <Cpudan80> Does flash work with x86_64 yet?
[05:42] <eontasticness> omegacenti: back 10 years ago i used to be able to get people to fall for it
[05:42] <Cpudan80> erm natively that is
[05:42] <h1st0> Cpudan80: if you use 32bit firefox
[05:42] <Dougie> what about make director?
[05:42] <Dougie> or make folder?
[05:42] <xipietotec> I've got a problem, setting up my wife's computer, and the wireless card (a linksys card) is coming up all weird, for one its coming up as ra1, and the mac address id FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF...it's resisting changing it
[05:42] <k0001> omegacenti, if you know your video card trade mark (intel, nvidia, ati, sis, etc...) then select it
[05:42] <Cpudan80> h1st0: hrm - how can I do that?
[05:42] <ekimus> Cpudan80: not in an easy way
[05:42] <omegacenti> Okay, I just did the command sudo dpkg-reconfigure --phig xserver-xorg, and now its asking me questions i DO NOT understand.
[05:42] <arooni> Dr_willis: i already have a listing for synaptics touchpad; have a look at my xorg config file: http://pastie.caboo.se/45248
[05:43] <alliantdevil> im actually looking at the page right now nalioth, just tried it and now i do have access to it but does not show up on the desktop or under places like other mounted volumes
[05:43] <Cpudan80> well that's disappointing
[05:43] <MTecknology> I want to do ctrl+alt+f2 within a virtual machine but my system takes precedence over that... how can I send that command to vmware ?
[05:43] <h1st0> Cpudan80: I believe there are howtos on the forums or in the wiki but flash has not been compiled for 64bit though.
[05:43] <[vali] > nalioth: is there any help about ubotu ?
[05:43] <omegacenti> No idea who makes this monitor, its a laptop.
[05:43] <makuseru> how can i change the default audio track on an ogm file?
[05:43] <nalioth> alliantdevil: you may need to use "ln" to create some symbolic links
[05:43] <eontasticness> rm -rf * only nukes everything inside the directory you are in
[05:43] <omegacenti> k0001: No idea who makes this monitor, its a laptop.
[05:43] <omegacenti> Sorry.
[05:43] <nalioth> [vali] : what kind of help?
[05:43] <Cpudan80> Why doesnt adobe take 5 minutes to compile it for x86_64?
[05:43] <Dr_willis> MTecknology,  the vmware docs tell ya how.. but i forget.. :) ya got to do it a special way that i never can rember. :)
[05:43] <bruenig> makuseru, you might want to give that a break
[05:43] <xipietotec> I'm trying to get internet set up for her before I leave, this will be her first ubuntu install so I'm hoping to get this up and running quickly
[05:43] <eontasticness> rm -rf / nukes EVERYTHING the user has permissions to

[05:43] <xipietotec> can someone help me?
[05:43] <r4nge> x=`awk -F? '/$url/ {print $2}' $LOG2`  is there any way to make it so i can use $url instead of typing in the string i'm looking for\
[05:43] <ekimus> eontasticness: well only is relative, depending on where you are :)
[05:43] <omegacenti> so sudo rm -rf / is the worse thing you can do?
[05:43] <bulmer> eontasticness: that is not very nice
[05:43] <h1st0> makuseru: perhaps ffmpeg maybe what you are looking for.
[05:44] <Neronious> can someone please help me i cant figure out for the life of me how to cd into the directory of my cdrom... im trying to do it for wine
[05:44] <makuseru> h1st0: similar to mkv's it can have multipul audio tracks, and subtitles

[05:47] <mistone> most of the time scripting is BS

[05:50] <mistone> mplayer plugin
[05:50] <arooni> deep: how do i get that?
[05:50] <Lord_Maynoth> does anyone here know how I can change programs priority permanently?
[05:50] <cliff> arrenlex, mistone: thanks. I should have known. seen as how I have you apt gurus on the hook, what is "packages will be kept back" about?
[05:50] <arooni> sudo apt-get install mplayer plugin?
[05:50] <deep> mistone: is it?
[05:50] <n-iCe> bruenig :o o yeah it's
[05:50] <mistone> I think so
[05:50] <omegacenti> How do you add a resolution in Ubuntu (I have looked in fixresolution howto)
[05:50] <deep> arooni:  apt-cache search mozilla | grep vlc
[05:50] <Dr_willis> Lord_Maynoth,  cant say that ive ever seen that done.
[05:51] <n-iCe> that's all bruenig ?!?!?
[05:51] <bruenig> n-iCe, yep
[05:51] <n-iCe> oh god
[05:51] <h1st0> omegacenti: edit he /etc/X11/xorg.conf or sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:51] <n-iCe> Where did you find that command ??? bruenig ?
[05:51] <deep> arooni: then, ofc, sudo apt-get install <package-name> :)
[05:51] <cliff> omegacenti: you can edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and ad it to the display sub section "1920x1200" for example, when you find the section it will be obvious
[05:51] <n-iCe> Thank you very much !!!
[05:51] <Lord_Maynoth> Dr_willis,  is there anything from terminal you can do to change it?
[05:51] <n-iCe> good :)
[05:51] <bruenig> n-iCe, I made it out of my brain
[05:51] <n-iCe> bruenig :o
[05:51] <Lord_Maynoth> upon launch?
[05:51] <mistone> cliff:  if you have a package that requires a older depency it can't ... but there is a way to fix that I forget how tho
[05:51] <arrenlex> cliff: Means you need to install new packages in order to upgrade these, so apt is holding them back. Run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to upgrade to new versions and install the packages.
[05:52] <n-iCe> bruenig thank you really thank you
[05:52] <n-iCe> :)
[05:52] <Dr_willis> Lord_Maynoth,  check the 'nice' man pages perhaps for related programs/features? i cant say that ive ever needed to adjust a programs nice level or priority

[05:55] <richiefrich> Apple_BootStrap*
[05:55] <h1st0> pingpongboss: What about system > preferences > Power management > Set display brightness
[05:55] <arooni> ekimus: um so i have the acceleration turned up all the way to fastest... yet its sooo sllow
[05:55] <cyclops> So, does anyone have any assistance for my issue with my Palm device USB in linux?
yeap, unbelievable!
[05:55] <craigbass1976> techie1, someone's windows box.  Sorry, I meant to hit ' and got enter instead
[05:56] <richiefrich> i overwrote it when reinstalling OSX
[05:56] <Lord_Maynoth> Dr_willis, do you think xubuntu would benefit me with my hardware?
[05:56] <richiefrich> and now i cant boot to ubuntu
[05:56] <pingpongboss> h1st0, set display brightness? i dont see it in my dialogue
[05:56] <pingpongboss> h1st0, but ur not hte first one to mention that
[05:56] <omegacenti> Bah, I've tried. oh well. My resolution will be forever stuck.
[05:56] <nate_> i have a module mismatch in X vs. Nvidia modules
[05:56] <pingpongboss> h1st0, maybe somehting's wrong with my installation of Feisty...
the only slag... a minor one is the inability to transfer audio from a handheld via usb cable because linux do not have the driver yet. I might have to buy another gyzmo!
[05:56] <pingpongboss> h1st0, clean install tho =/  tried with edgy too.. no luck
[05:56] <richiefrich> hmm no ibook ppl here?
[05:56] <h1st0> pingpongboss: well no ifyou are using fiesty thats a different story.
[05:57] <pingpongboss> h1st0, really? cause edgy had the exact same dialogue
[05:57] <n-iCe> thank you again bruenig
[05:57] <ekimus> arooni: i don't use X with my ubuntu installs but I know x.org can do it http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-mentors/2006/000023.html indicates a few options (being on os x here and don't have access to an X.org-enabled box atm)
[05:57] <h1st0> pingpongboss: or you can use xgamma
[05:57] <n-iCe> i think is done
[05:57] <dgoodwin1976> Just installed Ubuntu 6.10 on my Acer 5100 laptop. It came with Vista but I repartitioned the hard drive and everything works great. Wireless was a bit tricky but got that working. Awesome distro......
[05:57] <n-iCe> i need to go have a nice day / night thank you
[05:57] <pingpongboss> h1st0, ah, think i might try that out
[05:57] <craigbass1976> techie1, really... I thought it would just show up as an other drive.  I've hooked an ipod up to Fedora and had no trouble.  Also the mp3 and mp4 players we got my son for birthday and x-mas.

[05:57] <pingpongboss> h1st0, just a sudo aptitude install xgamma should do?
[05:58] <ekimus> arooni: it's in the lower third of the message
[05:58] <mistone> I burned to CD
[05:58] <Joshooa> Has anyone ever had Firefox not load a page, even though you're online?  It just says done and everything is grey?
[05:58] <h1st0> pingpongboss: you should already have that.
[05:58] <mistone> and doubled clicked the package
[05:58] <mistone> wireless then works
[05:58] <h1st0> pingpongboss: just xgamma -gamma 0.1   in a terminal
[05:58] <richiefrich> what no more support after Edgy
[05:58] <richiefrich> im pissed now
[05:58] <pingpongboss> h1st0, k
[05:58] <h1st0> pingpongboss: should decrease your brightness
[05:58] <pingpongboss> holy ***

[05:59] <pingpongboss> h1st0, xgamma -gamma 1?
[05:59] <h1st0> pingpongboss: -gamma 1.0  I believe would be normal

[06:00] <mistone> yo
[06:00] <richiefrich> cause it is a mch BSD
[06:00] <ekimus> mistone: you have a device that can do that over standard tcp/ip? I'd love to get one too
[06:01] <EaglesNestOne> I have installed ubuntu onto my spare 10GB hard drive. How do i uninstall it?
[06:01] <richiefrich> it isnt even BSD
[06:01] <h1st0> pingpongboss: yeah You can change Red Green or Blue idependantly but -gamma should just change all of them.
[06:01] <mistone> a DS
[06:01] <ekimus> !uninstall
[06:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about uninstall - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:01] <richiefrich> ekimus: lol
[06:01] <B|00d|u5T> anybody have a link that explains how to get latest ati radeon drivers
[06:01] <EaglesNestOne> where do i type !uninstall
[06:01] <pingpongboss> h1st0, dang, i dont know if i can use that then. i often watch videos, and the change in color would screw it up :x
[06:01] <h1st0> pingpongboss: there is rgamma ggamma and bgamma
[06:01] <mistone> DS are magic
[06:02] <pingpongboss> h1st0, but thte .9 and .8 arent too bad
[06:02] <EaglesNestOne> in command prompt (termanal)
[06:02] <mistone> lol
[06:02] <mistone> thats not english
[06:02] <ekimus> richiefrich: i know there's some howto for that in the wiki :)
[06:02] <h1st0> pingpongboss: yeah doing like .9 should jsut decrease brightness hsouldn't change the colors.
[06:02] <mistone> it has teleport powers
[06:02] <pingpongboss> h1st0, but i have to install those right? no command completion for it
[06:02] <B|00d|u5T> EagleNestOne -- what do i type to find the drivers?
[06:02] <Aardfox> how do i know if a processor will work with my current motherboard?
[06:02] <richiefrich> ekimus: yeah but i need another BootStrap partiton cuse i use UFS
[06:02] <richiefrich> ekimus: not HFS+
[06:03] <EaglesNestOne> where do you type !uninstall
[06:03] <wastrel> mistone:  if you're looking for help with ubuntu, you're in the right place.  otherwise, please try #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:03] <CaptainMorgan> !emergency startup disk
[06:03] <h1st0> pingpongboss: Install what?
[06:03] <mistone> I was
[06:03] <richiefrich> ekimus: ppc ubuntu channel ?
[06:03] <CaptainMorgan> !ubutu
[06:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubutu - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:03] <richiefrich> there has to be one
which chat program are you using mirc?
[06:03] <arrenlex> !livecd | CaptainMorgan
[06:03] <ubotu> CaptainMorgan: Ubuntu Dapper 'Desktop' CD contains a Live CD (Ubuntu that runs straight off the CD and RAM) with an install option. Breezy's Live CD contained no install.
[06:03] <nalioth> richiefrich: you can ask your ppc questions here
[06:03] <EaglesNestOne> you mean the disk you have to burn?
[06:03] <ekimus> EaglesNestOne: forget that, in essence it's just formatting the hard disk where ubuntu is installed booting windows going to cmd and type fdisk /fixmbr (don't blame me if this breaks things)
[06:03] <richiefrich> nalioth: i have
[06:03] <pingpongboss> h1st0, the alternative *gamma programs u mentioned
if so you type !uninstall on the lower part of your mirc
[06:03] <B|00d|u5T> EaglesNestOne --- im just tryin to figure out of i have up to date drivers on here
[06:03] <nalioth> richiefrich: sorry, i have been afk
[06:03] <pingpongboss> h1st0, i have a feeling they'll just do the same thing tho oO
[06:03] <h1st0> pingpongboss: no...
[06:04] <shatrat> What does "uname -r" return if youre on a 64 bit install? still -generic?
[06:04] <richiefrich> nalioth: ok then i need to make another Apple_BootStrap for yaboot
[06:04] <richiefrich> nalioth: cause i have OSX on "UFS
[06:04] <ekimus> richiefrich: i don't have a ppc, sadly enough
[06:04] <h1st0> pingpongboss: xgamma -rgamma 1.0   would set the Red to 1  then there is -bgamma -ggamma switches also.
a chat window will open with a name ubotu (a robot of information in here). Within that chat run the !install tells ubotu you need that information. A link will be provided to you.
[06:04] <pingpongboss> h1st0, oh >_<
[06:04] <nalioth> richiefrich: and you can't do this because . . .  .?
[06:04] <richiefrich> ekimus: there nothing special
[06:04] <h1st0> pingpongboss: but just specifying -gamma should change them all evenly.
[06:04] <omegabeta> really odd, I used d4x and it only downloaded 300mb of a 4.6 gig file and said it was done =/
[06:05] <h1st0> pingpongboss: if you just type in xgamma buy itself it will show what the currnet gama is at.
[06:05] <omegabeta> i think ive downloaded like 14 gig trying to get two 4 gig files today
[06:05] <ekimus> richiefrich: yeah but I could get hands on experience with endian aware network code in the lower levels :)
[06:05] <B|00d|u5T> EaglesNestOne -- has like 80 diff ppl askin 80 diff questions
[06:05] <B|00d|u5T> heh
[06:05] <pingpongboss> h1st0, i see. I hope that there's another way tho... the change of colors isnt something i want
[06:05] <ekimus> richiefrich: and it would be just nice to have
[06:05] <pingpongboss> h1st0, or do u think that's my only option
[06:05] <EaglesNestOne> im confused
[06:05] <arooni> hey fokls i have a sound issue
[06:05] <shatrat> Can anyone tell me what the "uname -r" says for a 64 bit install?
[06:05] <h1st0> pingpongboss: It should be changing the colors
[06:05] <theo_> Can someone help me tweak my Wine so I can install a windows program?
[06:05] <arooni> i can only hear sound when i plug my headphones in.... any ideas?
[06:05] <pingpongboss> h1st0, what's the brightness control thing in gnome-power-manager everyones talking about?
[06:06] <EaglesNestOne> ill type it again
[06:06] <h1st0> pingpongboss: typing in xgamma -gamma 0.9  should just dim your screen
[06:06] <arooni> is there anyway of making beryl-manager active on startup
[06:06] <Aardfox> Does anyone have an answer to my question?
[06:06] <EaglesNestOne> I have installed ubuntu onto my spare 10GB hard drive. How do i uninstall it?
[06:06] <richiefrich> nalioth:  i cant do it from OSX and i well lets say i made yaboot use the one that was  there.. and now heh i cant boot to OSX cause  i over wrote that AppleBootStap
[06:06] <ekimus> EaglesNestOne: in essence it's just formatting the hard disk where ubuntu is installed booting windows going to cmd and type fdisk /fixmbr (don't blame me if this breaks things)
[06:06] <EaglesNestOne> does anyone have an awnser to my question
[06:06] <pingpongboss> h1st0, yea but just barely. if i go beyond 0.9 then the colors just dont look right
[06:06] <B|00d|u5T> im just tryin to find the command in terminal that tells me what version of drivers i have for my vid card
[06:06] <h1st0> pingpongboss: I'm wondering if the brightness control in gnome-power-manager is dependent on your video card or not.  I don't hav ehte option.
[06:06] <EaglesNestOne> k thx
[06:06] <h1st0> pingpongboss: hold on let me try
[06:06] <pingpongboss> h1st0, weird. i'm using intel integrated
[06:07] <h1st0> pingpongboss: No its not changing colors for me.  ITs just dimming the screen
[06:07] <nalioth> richiefrich: use a PowerPC liveCD
[06:07] <shockwave1> Hi
[06:07] <omegabeta> 378842 mb is not 4.6 gig is it?
[06:07] <richiefrich> nalioth: and use mac-fdisk?
[06:07] <TM|AMD64> no.
[06:07] <shockwave1> can someone help me install the newest "widelands" game. the one i have keeps crashing
[06:07] <pingpongboss> h1st0, dam.. wtf.. when i do it, everything becomes all "earthly"
[06:07] <TM|AMD64> it's abut 36GB
[06:07] <pingpongboss> h1st0, do u think running beryl has anything to do with it?
[06:08] <nalioth> richiefrich: gparted or parted (if you are comfortable with the console)
[06:08] <arooni> how do i invoke a terminal on startup?
[06:08] <omegabeta> i meant kb
[06:08] <richiefrich> yeah i likes the console
[06:08] <omegabeta> :P
[06:08] <TM|AMD64> no.
[06:08] <pingpongboss> h1st0, anything below .5 makes text unreadable for me
[06:08] <richiefrich> arooni: you want to not boot into the GUI ?
[06:08] <B|00d|u5T> is there a command in terminal that tells u ur vid card info?
[06:08] <h1st0> pingpongboss: could be beryl.  But .5 is pretty damn low.
[06:08] <TM|AMD64> 378842MB is about 36BG.
[06:08] <pingpongboss> h1st0, it looks like it's ramping up the contrast the lower i go
[06:08] <h1st0> pingpongboss: I know .1 for me is unreadable as well.
[06:08] <bulmer> hwinfo
[06:09] <arooni> richiefrich: no, i want x, but i want to see a termianl window when i boot up
[06:09] <pingpongboss> h1st0, white spaces are super bright still
[06:09] <h1st0> pingpongboss: what type of laptop do you have?
[06:09] <pingpongboss> h1st0, toshiba.
[06:09] <nalioth> B|00d|u5T: sudo lshw will do it
[06:09] <richiefrich> arooni: you want to see the bot process?
[06:09] <richiefrich> boot*
[06:09] <pingpongboss> h1st0, are ur white areas dimming too?
[06:09] <B|00d|u5T> nalioth -- thanx bro how do i know the newest ati radeon driver avail so i can compare and see if i need to update?
[06:09] <h1st0> pingpongboss: let me check
[06:10] <pingpongboss> h1st0, kk
[06:10] <bulmer> arooni ctrl+alt+f1 will show you your boot process, assuming its not in quiet mode
[06:10] <nalioth> !tell B|00d|u5T about ati
[06:10] <richiefrich> arooni: or you mean when your WM loads you want a terminal to load also?
[06:10] <shockwave1>  can someone help me install the newest "widelands" game. the one i have keeps crashing. I couldn't find a deb file and don't really know how to install other files
[06:10] <h1st0> pingpongboss: yeah not as much as the other areas.
[06:10] <pingpongboss> h1st0, yea.. :(
[06:10] <h1st0> pingpongboss: have you tried looking the forums or on the wiki?
[06:10] <pingpongboss> h1st0, tried searching everywhere
[06:10] <arooni> richiefrich: yes
[06:10] <arooni> i got it now i think
[06:10] <pingpongboss> h1st0, there' are a few programs that are supposed to do it
[06:10] <mlw4428> Hi all!
[06:10] <pingpongboss> h1st0, but they either have to be compiled or they just dont work
[06:11] <pingpongboss> h1st0, and compiling them never goes right for me
[06:11] <TM|AMD64> prob, mlw4428?
[06:11] <gyaresu> shockwave1: If you provide a link to the software it should be easier for us to help you.
[06:11] <h1st0> pingpongboss: maybe make a post on the forums i'm sure there is someone with a laptop that would know how.  THere also might be settings you could put in xorg.conf that would do it.
[06:11] <pingpongboss> h1st0, even though i compile alot of other htings just ok
[06:11] <pingpongboss> h1st0, good idea
[06:11] <shockwave1> gyaresu: ok hold on
[06:11] <mlw4428> Question actually is there a fiesty fawn equiv for kbuntu?
[06:11] <wastrel> i like wiki
[06:11] <h1st0> pingpongboss: I would post your model number as well. Because someone i'm sure has had the same experience
[06:11] <h1st0> mlw4428: yes
[06:11] <B|00d|u5T> well i mean it tells me exactly what kidna card  have sooo i imagine i have the driver i need right??
[06:11] <pingpongboss> h1st0, kk
[06:11] <shockwave1> gyaresu: http://xoops.widelands.org/modules/wfdownloads/viewcat.php?cid=
[06:12] <h1st0> mlw4428: join #ubuntu+1 for fiesty questions
[06:12] <mlw4428> kk
[06:12] <shockwave1> gyaresu: thanks for your help
[06:12] <nothlit> is there any reason why after changing /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base would give a kernel boot OOM?
[06:13] <arooni> i can only hear sound when i plug my headphones in.... any ideas?
[06:13] <Xenguy> arooni: check your cables ;-)
[06:13] <pingpongboss> h1st0, thanks for you help
[06:13] <Joshooa> what is the ! used for and what should I search for to read about it?
[06:13] <arooni> Xenguy: um well i know sound *can* come out my laptop speakers.... because i did something to make it so that it only came out of my headphones
[06:13] <arooni> just dont remember what :(
[06:13] <arrenlex> Joshooa: In this channel? Or in bash?
[06:13] <Xenguy> hahah

[06:14] <B|00d|u5T> does anybody have any idea how to install something on wine
[06:14] <arrenlex> Joshooa: For telling our resident chatbot, the great and powerful ubotu, that you want to tell him something. :)
[06:14] <Joshooa> I see he tells me, but, what do I look for online to read about whatever that thingy is
[06:14] <omegacenti> Okay, I restarted completely, and I still cannot see the resolutions I put in my xorg.conf:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9050/
[06:14] <Joshooa> Oh
[06:14] <omegacenti> So please, if this is an easy fix, enlighten me.
[06:14] <arrenlex> Joshooa: To read about kde? Go to one of those links or google kde.
[06:14] <noodles12> what's the command to find out what type of ram you have? (ddr2-667 or 533?)
[06:15] <wastrel> ubotu, hi
[06:15] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[06:15] <cosmo__> I haven't gotten the nvidia drivers installed yet (because i accidently got the feisty fawn instalation and am now downloading 6.10) but just curious, does ubuntu support dual monitors?
[06:15] <wastrel> ubotu thanks
[06:15] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[06:15] <Joshooa> Oh no, like, to learn about / stuff I know I need to look up commands, I thought I could look up IRC something to learn about ! and other related things
[06:15] <wastrel> !botsnack
[06:15] <ubotu> Yum!
[06:15] <bayziders> how do i find out my defualt gateway?
[06:15] <wastrel> Joshooa:  you can /msg ubotu   to ask it questions without bothering the channel
[06:15] <Aardfox> How can i tell if a processor I want to buy will work with my current motherboard?
[06:16] <wastrel> Joshooa:  for irc commands you can do /help
[06:16] <Joshooa> wastrel: Thanks that's handy
[06:16] <gyaresu> shockwave1: Did you download this package? "Linux package Widelands-build10rc-linuxi386.tar.bz2"
[06:16] <Joshooa> Also, do I just type in [name] : to make it know I'm talking to someone, or is there a command for that?
[06:16] <shockwave1> gyaresu: no not yet

[06:17] <arooni> i can only hear sound when i plug my headphones in.... any ideas?
[06:17] <Xenguy> heh
[06:17] <gyaresu> shockwave1: It's on this page http://xoops.widelands.org/modules/wfdownloads/viewcat.php?cid=2
[06:17] <Xenguy> arooni: you are imagining the whole experience
[06:17] <Joshooa> Ooh neat, thanks everyone!
[06:17] <h1st0> bayziders: hrm.. that might not show it.
[06:17] <h1st0> bayziders: hold up
[06:17] <Joshooa> I was always afraid there was a command, and I was the stupid noob typing it out and not using commands
[06:18] <bayziders> h1st0:I know but what piece of info is the defualt gateway it doesn't just say defualtgateway:133.5.35.3
[06:18] <arooni> Xenguy: i'm really not :P
[06:18] <Aardfox> Can you guys see what I'm saying?
[06:18] <h1st0> bayziders: ahh route -n
[06:18] <shockwave1> gyaresu: ok i am dl it to my desktop
[06:18] <h1st0> bayziders: the one in the gateway column will be your gateway.
[06:19] <Aardfox> Can you guys see what I'm saying?
[06:19] <h1st0> Aardfox: yes
[06:19] <shockwave1> aardfox: yes
[06:19] <Aardfox> h1st0 thank you
[06:19] <Aardfox> Now, does anyone know how to figure out if a processor will work with my motherboard? If not, where would be a good place to ask around?
[06:20] <shockwave1> gyaresu: do i dl the tar.bz or the source file
[06:20] <nine09> is this a room for ubuntu server help as well?
[06:20] <h1st0> Aardfox: yeah.  Your motherboard manaufacturer would be able to tell you.
[06:20] <h1st0> Aardfox: Or one of us could probably help you.
[06:21] <h1st0> Aardfox: What motherboard do you have?
[06:21] <gyaresu> shockwave1: Just get the tar.bz (I am too). If you're lucky it'll just be a matter of decompressing it and running the binary. voila! games runs...
[06:21] <arooni> um VLC as a plugin doesnt let me see wmv files in firefox.... any other suggestions?
[06:21] <Joshooa> Aardfox: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport should be able to help too

[06:22] <arrenlex> arooni: mplayer plugin :)
[06:22] <arooni> arrenlex: how do i get that
[06:22] <omegacenti> I'm dying here foe someone to tell me how to fix resolution problems (I have exhausted fixresolution howto)
[06:22] <omegacenti> for*
[06:22] <h1st0> arooni: there are many options.  Depends also on the type of wmv file I believe DRM wmvs aren't supported yet.  And the higher version wmvs
[06:22] <Aardfox> h1st0 a ms-7142 i think
[06:22] <gyaresu> Aardfox: Go to the mainboard manufacturers site and see what socket it is. If the chip is the same socket buy a higher speed then the mainboard may need a bios upgrade.
[06:22] <arrenlex> omegacenti: What card?
[06:22] <ramza3> I just got gcc (apt-get install gcc) and now trying to do 'gcc main.c' i get this; /usr/bin/ld: crt1.o: No such file: No such file or directory
[06:22] <arooni> how do i make a script
[06:22] <arrenlex> arooni: apt-get install mozilla-mplayer
[06:22] <ramza3> any ideas
[06:22] <h1st0> Aardfox: how makes it?
[06:23] <omegacenti> arrenlex: intel 900 chipset
[06:23] <arrenlex> ramza3: install build-essential
[06:23] <shockwave1> gyaresu: ok im done dl
[06:23] <Aardfox> MSI
[06:23] <h1st0> Aardfox: s/how/who
[06:23] <arrenlex> omegacenti: Have you been using 915resolution?
[06:23] <omegacenti> Aardfox: laptop internal
[06:23] <arooni> arrenlex: i arleady have mplayer
[06:23] <arrenlex> arooni: So use it.
[06:23] <omegacenti> arrenlex: I used 915resolution.
[06:23] <gyaresu> shockwave1: 2 secs I'll have a look at mine and let you know...
[06:23] <arrenlex> omegacenti: And what happened?
[06:23] <shockwave1> gyaresu: ok thank you
[06:23] <shatrat> Is there a kernel option to boot to runlevel 3 or the equivalent in edgy?
[06:23] <omegacenti> it listed my resolution in my Vbios?
[06:23] <h1st0> www.msicomputer.com is there site they should have what cpus that board supports
[06:24] <arooni> arrenlex: but my wmv files aren't playi when im on a site
[06:24] <omegacenti> arrenlex: it also made a file in /etc/default/915resolution
[06:24] <arrenlex> arooni: Do they play in mplayer?
[06:24] <Aardfox> gyaresu it's socket 754 apparently
[06:24] <arooni> well i hit a page with a wmv file... and its just white
[06:24] <arooni> blan
[06:24] <h1st0> Aardfox: http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K8MM-V&class=mb
[06:24] <arrenlex> omegacenti: Installing it isn't enough... you have to run it, with correct options.
[06:24] <h1st0> Aardfox: it lists the cpus right there.  If that is your model number
[06:24] <arrenlex> arooni: Does it work for other types of movies?
[06:25] <arooni> arrenlex: such as
[06:25] <Joshooa> If my roommate is running winblows and has a printer on it, can I still connect to it over the network and print off it, or will winblows not let be, cause it blows like that?
[06:25] <omegacenti> arrenlex: How do I even know I ran the right options if I can't tell if it is even around...
[06:25] <arrenlex> arooni: Such as http://fredrik.hubbe.net/plugger/menu.html?f=test.mpg
[06:25] <Dr_willis> Joshooa,  should be doable.
[06:25] <omegacenti> arrenlex: For instance, in my xorg.conf it stills says my driver is i810
[06:25] <Aardfox> h1st0 yup, just found that. so it's socket 754? do i look for the number 754 in the processor's name or something?
[06:25] <arrenlex> omegacenti: Hold up, let me fire up my laptop which has that driver.
[06:25] <gyaresu> Joshooa: If it's shared and you have linux drivers then no problem.
[06:25] <arrenlex> omegacenti: That's right. That is the correct driver.
[06:25] <omegacenti> arrenlex: I appreciate it.
[06:25] <Gesus> this maybe a silly question but i have a hd mounted on /media/hda3 and i want to create a file on it but i am get the error "you do not have permission to write to this folder".  sounds like an easy problem to fix -- but where? thanks in advance.
[06:25] <gyaresu> shockwave1: 'tar jxvf blah.tar.bz'
[06:25] <Joshooa> gyaresu: So then I have to find the printer drivers for that printer for linux first?
[06:25] <h1st0> Aardfox: No look at the CPU section.  Those are the type of CPU tat whill work.  You just have to make sure they are socket 754 also.
[06:26] <SirOSOriS> arrenlex, i too appreciate it
[06:26] <omegacenti> hold on I have a pastebin for my xorg.conf
[06:26] <arrenlex> SirOSOriS: You're welcome? xD Who are you?
[06:26] <tritoch> how can i show/edit/remove sym links?
[06:26] <arooni> how do i execute a saved script
[06:26] <gyaresu> shockwave1: 'cd widelands' './widelands'
[06:26] <ledbettj> Gesus: what kind of filesystem is your hda3?  Windows NTFS? or something else?
[06:26] <SirOSOriS> arrenlex, a bystander
[06:26] <shockwave1> gyaresu: do i need to be in a special directory like cd /desktop or anything
[06:26] <arrenlex> omegacenti: What resolution are you aiming for?
[06:26] <h1st0> Aardfox: the socket is how it plugs in to the board.  The CPU has to match the Socket type.  In your case Socket 754.  And I would only buy a cpu that is on their list on the page.
[06:26] <wastrel> tritoch:  ls -l link

[06:27] <Aardfox> h1st0, for example, would this not work? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103769
[06:27] <nine09> D'oh
[06:27] <h1st0> Aardfox: no
[06:27] <omegacenti> arrenlex: I am aiming for 800x600 for diablo II in wine, and I know 800x600 works in windows because it worked.
[06:27] <tritoch> thank you wastrel
[06:27] <h1st0> Aardfox: that is AM2 socket
[06:27] <cosmo__> does linux use fat32 or does it use it's own type of formatting?
[06:27] <ledbettj> Gesus: ok, then it should be easy :) you just need to make sure that you have write permission on that drive
[06:27] <arrenlex> omegacenti: 800x600 should work with any card... are you sure it's not in your resolution settings?
[06:27] <arooni> arrenlex: it plays back with this plugin: Totem Mozilla Plugin 2.16.2
[06:27] <ledbettj> Gesus: and that it's mounted read-write
[06:27] <Dr_willis> cosmo__,  linux has support for several dozen filesystems. :)
[06:27] <h1st0> Aardfox: basically on newegg you can specify socket 754 for your cpu search and just make sure it fits msi's list and you would be good.
[06:28] <shockwave1> gyaresu: I get an error when running tar telling me there is no such file
[06:28] <Dr_willis> cosmo__,  'ext2 or ext3' is the standard for most uses
[06:28] <omegacenti> arrenlex: Tell me where my resolution settings are and I promise you will find out quick :)
[06:28] <Gesus> ledbettj: ok where do i do that?
[06:28] <arrenlex> omegacenti: No idea, I don't run gnome.
[06:28] <omegacenti> oy.
[06:28] <arrenlex> Yo, channel! Where are the resolution settings?
[06:28] <Aardfox> h1st0: looks like i'm going to have to buy a new motherboard to get anywhere :(
[06:28] <gyaresu> shockwave1: nope. Just uncompress the file (that's the tar -jxvf) and 'cd' into the new 'widelands' folder. When you in there you'll notice a binary file called widelands. Just run it (./widelands).
[06:28] <bayziders> h1st0 there is no gateway column
[06:29] <gyaresu> shockwave1: What blah.tar.bz :) Nah. untar the "actual" filename...
[06:29] <anonymeeee>  i'm trying to install ubuntu on a box that presently has an older version of suse....I can't get the blasted thing to boot from the cdrom
[06:29] <h1st0> Aardfox: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?N=2010340343+50001028+1051707438&Submit=ENE&SubCategory=343  Is the cpus that would work

[06:29] <ledbettj> Gesus: if you type "mount" at a terminal, it will show you how the device is mounted...make sure that line doesn't contain "ro", but instead has something like "rw"
[06:29] <shockwave1> gyaresu: the "blah" is the name of the file?
[06:29] <h1st0> bayziders: if you type in route -n there should be
[06:29] <arooni> i can only hear sound when i plug in my headphones
[06:29] <arooni> any ideas?
[06:29] <Madpilot> anonymeeee, check your BIOS boot order
[06:29] <h1st0> arooni: lol
[06:29] <nine09> whats "tty" mean?
[06:29] <omegacenti> gyaresu:  I have scanned that thing up and down and the things it suggested did NOT work.
[06:30] <arrenlex> omegacenti: Try right-clicking on the desktop and looking around? Should be somewhere there.
[06:30] <arooni> h1st0: why do you laugh at me i am sad becasue there is no music in my life anymore :(
[06:30] <h1st0> arooni: how else would your computer output the sound.  You need speakers?
[06:30] <gyaresu> shockwave1: Dude seriously... You want to decompress the file you just downloaded... So you want to go to the directory where you put it and run the commands :)
[06:30] <Gesus> ledbettj: /dev/hda3 on /media/hda3 type ext3 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
[06:30] <arooni> h1st0: but i have laptop speakers and i knwo they work
[06:30] <omegacenti> arrenlex: Nothing there but my chickens.
[06:30] <arooni> i mean they're built into the laptop
[06:30] <ledbettj> Gesus: ok that looks good, the next thing to check is the permissions on the drive
[06:30] <h1st0> arooni: ahh... check alsamixer andmake sure the volume levels are up
[06:30] <gyaresu> arooni: Headphone problem still huh?
[06:31] <absolutroot> hi guys, i was here earlier asking if ndistwrapper was already on edgy eft
[06:31] <arooni> gyaresu: man it never ceases :(
[06:31] <h1st0> bayziders: can you paste bint he results of route -n
[06:31] <Aardfox> h1st0:thanks a ton for your help
[06:31] <ledbettj> Gesus: try ls -lh /media/hd3 and see what the permissions are (rwx-rw-r, whatever)
[06:31] <gyaresu> absolutroot: It is.
[06:31] <h1st0> Aardfox: np
[06:31] <ledbettj> Gesus: as well what account owns it
[06:31] <arrenlex> YO! CHANNEL! Where are resolution settings located in gnome?
[06:31] <gyaresu> arooni: It's gotta be the version of alsa or an updated driver for the sound chip IMHO

[06:32] <arrenlex> crimsun, madpilot: thank you so much.
[06:32] <SirOSOriS> arooni, double click the speaker icon in the system tray
[06:32] <arrenlex> omegacenti: Look there.
[06:32] <ledbettj> Gesus: ok, the issue is that root owns the drive, and that you don't have write permission to it.
[06:32] <cadoo> System>preferences>screen resolution
[06:32] <Madpilot> yo! arrenlex! why didn't you check the menus yourself before bothering the channel? ;)
[06:32] <arrenlex> Madpilot: Because I don't run gnome! xD
[06:32] <arrenlex> Madpilot: I'm trying to help someone with their resolution.
[06:32] <omegacenti> arrenlex: Thats exactly where my issues are, it wont list 800x 600!!
[06:33] <Gesus> ledbettj: ok. so how do i fix that :)
[06:33] <makuseru> how can i convert .ogm to .avi or .mpg?.
[06:33] <ledbettj> Gesus: if your account is the only one that will be accessing the drive, the easiest answer is to type "sudo chown -R yourusernamehere /media/hd3"
[06:33] <Madpilot> arrenlex, what sort of degenerate doesn't run Gnome?
[06:33] <ledbettj> Gesus: which will make your account the owner of the drive
[06:33] <arooni> ok now i got a new problem!  when i insert headphones.... sound keeps playing out of the laptop speakers
[06:33] <arrenlex> Madpilot: The kind of degenerate who actually wants to be able to change settings for his desktop.
[06:33] <Gesus> ledbettj: what if i want all accounts to be able to access? :)
[06:33] <arooni> hehe now its backwards!!
[06:34] <arooni> ;p
[06:34] <Aardfox> h1st0: will all memory work with my motherboard? Sorry to bother you again by the way, haha.
[06:34] <absolutroot> has anyone else had ndiswrapper freeze their system?  i have been looking online for a solution but none of the ones i have worked
[06:34] <Madpilot> arrenlex, Gnome has lots of settings. KDE has too many. :P
[06:34] <gyaresu> Aardfox: GET THE MANUAL.
[06:34] <arrenlex> Madpilot: Has just the right amount for me. :)
[06:34] <ledbettj> Gesus: there are a couple options.  If you do "sudo chmod a+rwx /media/hd3" then everyone will be able to read and write to the drive
[06:34] <anonymeeee> Madpilot: my boot order is cdrom cdrom hdd1
[06:34] <arrenlex> omegacenti: Anyway, sorry... let me find the command for you, a moment.
[06:35] <Dr_willis> ledbettj,  ugh. that is a ntfs/vfat or what filesystem?
[06:35] <anonymeeee> Madpilot it's still going to the grub os loader
[06:35] <gyaresu> Aardfox: Socket 754 will be ddr400 geneic off the shell stuff most likely.
[06:35] <Aardfox> gyaresu: i'm holding it, and....oh nvm
[06:35] <ledbettj> Dr_willis: ext3
[06:35] <Madpilot> anonymeeee, but it won't boot from the CD? Did you burn the ISO properly/check md5sum/etc?
[06:35] <Gesus> ledbettj: so if i do that "sudo chmod a+rwx /media/hd3" will that stick even when i restart?
[06:35] <Dr_willis> ledbettj,  i dont think tha twill work.. since the files/dirs On the drive. may be owned/different permissions.
[06:35] <anonymeeee> Madpilot: the cd loaded just fine on another computer
[06:36] <ledbettj> whoops, I left out the -R
[06:36] <Dr_willis> ledbettj,  ok. :) THATS better.. :)
[06:36] <Madpilot> anonymeeee, odd. have you gotten this computer to boot from other CDs in the past?
[06:36] <ledbettj> thanks :P
[06:36] <arooni> is there a better volume control?  i have to use alsamixer from command line (to mute soiunds coming out of my laptop speakers) .. and to adjust sound volume..... adjsuting the PCM volume does ntohign :(
[06:36] <Aardfox> gyaresu: it says it supports a maximum memory size of 2GB. Does that mean if I get 2 sticks of 1GB ddr they will not in fact run at 4GB?
[06:36] <arrenlex> omegacenti: Please pastebin the results of "sudo 915resolution -l"
[06:36] <Dr_willis> ledbettj,  if he in fact does whatn to change the permissions of the drive to be writeable by everyone. ;)
[06:36] <ledbettj> Gesus: yes, because it will change the permissions on the actual drive
[06:36] <anonymeeee> Madpilot: ya, that's how I got suse on it
[06:36] <ledbettj> Gesus: the correct command would be "sudo chmod -R a+rwx /media/hd3"
[06:37] <Xoba> anyone wanna party?
[06:37] <dipson> rg
[06:37] <omegacenti> arrenlex:  one sec.
[06:37] <h1st0> Aardfox: it means your total memory can not exceed 2GB
[06:37] <gyaresu> Aardfox: No two sticks of 1GB will be 2GB.
[06:38] <h1st0> Aardfox: 1 + 1 = 2
[06:38] <Dr_willis> 1+1=2 :)
[06:38] <Madpilot> anonymeeee, that's screwy. try another CD-R and burn again? I really am not sure what to suggest if the CD works elsewhere and other CDs have worked in this machine before - have you tweaked the BIOS settings since installing Suse?
[06:38] <gyaresu> Aardfox: Forget about the dual channel bit. If they are the same types and size and you put them in the same colored slots then you'll be fine.
[06:38] <h1st0> 2 + 2 = chair
[06:38] <Aardfox> h1st0: yea, but doesn't ddr multiply it by two?
[06:38] <h1st0> Aardfox: no
[06:38] <Madpilot> Aardfox, DDR is just a type of RAM
[06:38] <Aardfox> oh
[06:38] <Gesus> ledbettj: great man!! that worked perfectly!! so it doesn't matter than my fstab says ro,users.. etc that chmod command has still changed its permissions permanently?
[06:38] <Aardfox> wow i feel stupid
[06:38] <Aardfox> haha
[06:38] <arrenlex> DDR is a type of video game, you nerds.
[06:39] <anonymeeee> Madpilot:  haven't done anything to the bios
[06:39] <Dr_willis> Gesus,  untill you write new files to that partition. :)
[06:39] <h1st0> Aardfox: lol its okay.  There is a lot to learn about building a system.  But its not that difficult.
[06:39] <ledbettj> Gesus: I thought mount & etc/fstab said rw?
[06:39] <Dr_willis> Gesus,  you just set all files/dirs on that partition to be read/writeable by everyone.
[06:39] <Madpilot> arrenlex, Dunce Dunce Retardation, I think it's called?
[06:39] <lepine_h> hey guys, can someone tell me which repository provides 'trac', the project management that ties in to subversion and has  a wiki ?
[06:39] <h1st0> !trac
[06:39] <ubotu> trac is an open source, enhanced wiki and issue tracking system for software development projects. Look here for a Trac How To on Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTracHowto
[06:39] <Dr_willis> !find ftrac
[06:39] <ubotu> Found: mftrace
[06:39] <omegacenti> arrenlex: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9051/
[06:39] <Dr_willis> !find trac
[06:39] <ubotu> Found: dnstracer, iputils-tracepath, libhtml-tableextract-perl, ltrace, patchutils (and 62 others)
[06:39] <Madpilot> anonymeeee, in that case, it should just work. No idea why it isnt.
[06:39] <chemisus> i am trying to install drivers for my realtek ac97, and it keeps saying i need to have a curses library installed. where would i get that from?
[06:40] <Gesus> ledbettj: nevermind i am just smoking crack.  thanks heaps for that, you have saved me a lot of head scratching.  /me bows
[06:40] <arrenlex> omegacenti: Mode 52 : 800x600, 32 bits/pixel <--- there it is. You should be able to run it just fine... o_O
[06:40] <h1st0> lepine_h: folow the link from ubotu
[06:40] <lepine_h> h1st0 ... thanks but that doesn't work!
[06:40] <lepine_h> it doesn't find the trac package
[06:40] <ledbettj> Gesus: just want to check that you really want everyone to be able to write to that disk
[06:40] <omegacenti> so put that in /etc/default/915resolution... right?
[06:40] <lepine_h> which led me to asking which repository provides it
[06:40] <gyaresu> chemisus: Sure it's not ncurses?
[06:40] <h1st0> lepine_h: I'm looking at the page right now.
[06:41] <lori> hi guys.  I'm trying to find out how to use my Ubuntu wireless a bit better.
[06:41] <arrenlex> omegacenti: No. That's already there. You should be able to access that resolution.
[06:41] <h1st0> lepine_h: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[06:41] <lepine_h> 6.06
[06:41] <chemisus> gyaresu, well, it checks for a lncurses then lcurses and both are not found, then it says "configure: error: this packages requires a curses library"
[06:41] <gyaresu> !welcome | lori
[06:41] <ubotu> lori: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel.
[06:41] <omegacenti> arrenlex: I can't
[06:41] <lori> I was told today that i need a wireless manager, but there already seems to be one on here
[06:41] <gyaresu> lori: Does it work.
[06:41] <lori> gyaresu: thanks, thanks also ubotu
[06:42] <h1st0> lepine_h: its in universe repo
[06:42] <arrenlex> omegacenti: What happens if you put remove 1280x768 in /etc/X11/xorg.conf so 800x600 is first??
[06:42] <h1st0> !info trac | lepine_h

[06:42] <gyaresu> chemisus: So you don't have your repos set up correctly.
[06:42] <lori> gyaresu, it does work, but i get two default keyring boxes that appear when i boot up.
[06:42] <gyaresu> ubotu: tell lori about yourself
[06:42] <lori> i believe the wireless automatically starts on bootup.
[06:42] <lepine_h> thanks alot ... /me not used to the sugar coating of ubuntu :)
[06:42] <omegacenti> one sec arrenlex
[06:42] <Gesus> ledbettj: ummm well for now... i guess, so if i wanted it to be just me what command would i use?
[06:43] <h1st0> lepine_h: yes its nice once you get used to it.
[06:43] <gyaresu> lori: Ah k. So the problem is two keyring progs running. Not really my area of expertise I'm afraid. cli guy myself.
[06:43] <lori> gyaresu: is there an easier way to type your name quickly? some special tabby thing i'm missing?
[06:43] <ramza3> I need a library;zlib.h ...I installed zlibc though apt-get ...what am I missing
[06:43] <h1st0> lori: yes type gy then hit tab
[06:43] <gyaresu> !tab | lori
[06:43] <ubotu> lori: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[06:43] <omegacenti> here goes nothing. I am going to attempt a reboot of X
[06:43] <arrenlex> lori: type "gy" and press tab
[06:43] <lori> yay!
[06:43] <lori> gyaresu: heheheh
[06:44] <lori> what about ubotu?
[06:44] <gyaresu> lori: The simplest pleasures.
[06:44] <lori> :)
[06:44] <h1st0> lori: you can use tab complettion in linux as well like start typeing a command or file name in terminal then hit tab will complete it.
[06:44] <gyaresu> lori: What about ubotu ?
[06:44] <h1st0> !ubotu | lori
[06:44] <ubotu> lori: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[06:44] <ledbettj> Gesus:  I think the easiest way to manage that would be to use "sudo chown -R yourusername /media/hd3" -- once you do that, you own it and you can change the permissions later by right clicking on the folder in nautilus and choosing the "permissions" tab
[06:44] <omegacenti> Not a darn thing
[06:44] <omegacenti> I don't understand for the life of me.
[06:44] <arrenlex> Gesus: Sorry, I'm curious, what the heck are you trying to do?
[06:44] <omegacenti> this is absolutely friggin weird.
[06:45] <arrenlex> omegacenti: What resolution did it boot to?
[06:45] <h1st0> ledbettj: he should be able to change the permissions in fstab.
[06:45] <lori> i love brains... heh
[06:45] <owner_> can anyone tell me the difference in ubuntu dvd and ubuntu cd
[06:45] <ledbettj> h1st0: that won't affect the owners and permissions on the partition, though, will it?
[06:45] <omegacenti> arrenlex: Good ol 1280x768
[06:45] <arrenlex> owner_: dvd contains all sorts of packages so you don't need to use the internet.
[06:45] <Gesus> ledbettj: thanks again mate
[06:45] <omegacenti> arrenlex: I'll even show you the edited files.
[06:45] <h1st0> ledbettj: no just the mountpoint.
[06:45] <arrenlex> omegacenti: Could you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log please?
[06:45] <lori> so, all knowing ones... how do i get my wireless keyring manager to stop wiggin.
[06:46] <omegacenti> one sex.
[06:46] <omegacenti> sec.
[06:46] <h1st0> ledbettj: unless he writes a file there it will change the permissions for that file if its ext3 system.
[06:46] <arrenlex> XD
[06:46] <arrenlex> Paging Dr. Freud...
[06:46] <metalhedd> how can I stop ubuntu from loading my wireless module?
[06:46] <h1st0> ledbettj: but making the mountpoint rw for a certain user will just allow that user to rw to that partition.  Has nothing to do with the files on the partition.
[06:46] <omegacenti> arrenlex: Whats the easiest way to obtain all the text from /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[06:47] <gyaresu> metalhedd: blacklist
[06:47] <h1st0> metalhedd: rmmod <nameofmodule>
[06:47] <omegacenti> arrenlex: I tried cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log but it freaked out and cut off the top of it
[06:47] <h1st0> !blacklist | metalhedd
[06:47] <ubotu> metalhedd: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add  blacklist <modulename>  to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type  sudo update-initramfs -u

[06:47] <ledbettj> h1st0: I'm not sure I get you.  If the partition is mounted RW, but you don't own/have permissions to write to it, you still can't?
[06:48] <arooni> ok fair enough

[06:48] <h1st0> ledbettj: no if the partition is mounted rw you can rw to it.
[06:48] <arooni> i can open video files.... wmv that is... on the desktop (that i downloaded) ....... but i cant see any video playback (even though i can hear audio) ... ideas?
[06:48] <h1st0> !fstab | ledbettj
[06:48] <ubotu> ledbettj: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[06:48] <arrenlex> arooni: Install w32codecs
[06:48] <gyaresu> arooni: Still codecs...
[06:49] <nine09> codecs are the devil
[06:49] <h1st0> They won't be in fiesty
[06:49] <arrenlex> omegacenti: I810(0): Not using mode "800x600" (no mode of this name)
[06:49] <arooni> gyaresu: i already have them
[06:49] <arrenlex> omegacenti: And yet, it's mode 52.
[06:49] <owner_> is there any ubuntu release with desktop edition with lamp already installed
[06:49] <arooni> w32codecs taht is
[06:49] <h1st0> owner_: not a desktop edition
[06:49] <efiloN> Any 64bit antivirus software out there? (sending files to unprotected Windows box)
[06:49] <lori> gyaresu: there's another funky thing about this ubuntu setup i have...
[06:49] <h1st0> owner_: but you could do a server lamp instlal then just sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[06:49] <metalhedd> thanks guys
[06:49] <omegacenti> arrenlex: eh?
[06:50] <ivan_> arooni: I installed "Easyubuntu" -lets you choose several codecs and other non"free" stuff
[06:50] <omegacenti> arrenlex: I don't understand.
[06:50] <h1st0> efiloN: clamwin?
[06:50] <lori> I thought i deleted my keyrings and made a new one.  but the old password is the only one that will open the two keyring boxes that show up on bootup.
[06:50] <arrenlex> omegacenti: Your log says: I810(0): Not using mode "800x600" (no mode of this name)
[06:50] <arrenlex> omegacenti: Which is why it refuses to show that.
[06:50] <bimberi> arooni: running beryl or compiz?
[06:50] <gyaresu> lori: Ah. You've been tinkering.
[06:50] <arrenlex> omegacenti: And yet a mode of that name DOES exist, and is #52.
[06:50] <omegacenti> arrenlex: Is this my error, and can I fix it?
[06:50] <arooni> bimberi: yes running beryl
[06:50] <owner_> when i try to do that my machine will not connect to the internet
[06:50] <lori> gyaresu: more like mucking about, yes.
[06:50] <bimberi> arooni: switch to metacity and retry
[06:50] <arrenlex> omegacenti: This is your error, and I don't understand why it's appearing, so I can't help you out. o_o I'm lost.
[06:50] <h1st0> owner_: when you try to do what?  install ubuntu-desktop on the server?
[06:50] <owner_> i have wireless at home
[06:51] <lori> very new at all this lovely linux business.
[06:51] <owner_> yea
[06:51] <arooni> bimberi: what is metacity
[06:51] <arooni> and how do i get it
[06:51] <h1st0> owner_: well yeah you need to get the network working first.
[06:51] <bimberi> arooni: the usual gnome window manager
[06:51] <gyaresu> lori: So what you need to do is for a question in sentance form after clearly outlining everything you've done and read through to get to this point.
[06:51] <omegacenti> arrenlex: I've been known to produce the strangest errors known to mankind. Thankyou for trying to surmount one of them. I really appreciate it.
[06:51] <h1st0> owner_: or you could add the desktop cd as a repo then instlal that way
[06:51] <bimberi> arooni: it should be an option in the Beryl menu
[06:51] <arrenlex> omegacenti: You could try restarting your computer to reset the changes 915resolution made, and then using "sudo 915resolution -l" again to see if the mode exists by default.
[06:51] <gyaresu> lori: *form
[06:51] <h1st0> owner_: but you would still have no net access.
[06:51] <ivan_> Has anyone had luck using ATI HDTV PCI card?
[06:51] <h1st0> !anyone | ivan_
[06:51] <ubotu> ivan_: 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?
[06:51] <arrenlex> omegacenti: Error: keyboard not found, press any key to continue? :)
[06:52] <arooni> bimberi: thats it!  you got it....
[06:52] <lori> gyaresu: Fair enough.
[06:52] <arooni> bimberi: is there a way of still using beryl though?
[06:52] <owner_> how do i setup internet on the server edition
[06:52] <arooni> for video playback
[06:52] <h1st0> owner_: what is it exactly you are trying to accomplish?
[06:52] <h1st0> owner_: well what type of card do you have?
[06:52] <omegacenti> arrenlex: I edited /etc/default/915resolution to reflect mode 5(something?) 800 by 600, depth 32
[06:52] <arrenlex> omegacenti: Yeah, restart, and then pastebin "sudo 915resolution -l" please.
[06:52] <chemisus> gyaresu, i updated sources using the source-o-matic but i still get the same error. i searched for ncurses but couldnt find anything that wasnt already installed
[06:52] <omegacenti> k one sec arrenlex
[06:52] <arrenlex> omegacenti: Hmm.
[06:52] <arrenlex> omegacenti: Hold on.
[06:52] <bimberi> arooni: i haven't found one myself.  I bet this issue has been reported though.  Perhaps on the forums?
[06:52] <h1st0> owner_: What type of network card that is...
[06:52] <grindar> anybody here got any experience with rioutil?
[06:52] <owner_> i have a toshiba laptop so its built in
[06:53] <arrenlex> omegacenti: I don't like that. Remove that file and reinstall 915resolution. Better to work with the defaults.
[06:53] <h1st0> owner_: lspci | grep Ethernet
[06:53] <owner_> im trying to get lamp on my desktop edition\
[06:53] <h1st0> owner_: should show you the chipset.
[06:53] <gyaresu> chemisus: Is this a separate package you've downloaded or are you installing from apt. Please give us some background on what you're doing...
[06:53] <Dufresne`> i just created a new ext3 logical partition. when i try to mount it i get " can't find /dev/sda5 in etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[06:53] <lori> gyaresu: I have deleted and remade a default keyring for my wireless.  How do I get the default keyring to only come up once on bootup?
[06:53] <chemisus> gyaresu, i downloaded the driver package from the realtek's website. its an audio driver
[06:54] <h1st0> owner_: well lamp is just Linux Apache Mysql and Php.  ITs not that hard to install them. on any system.
[06:54] <gyaresu> lori: gnome? This is the GUI box that pops up?
[06:54] <chemisus> gyaresu, the readme says to do an automatic install, just do the ./install
[06:54] <lori> gyaresu:  I believe it is the gnome.  How do i tell?
[06:55] <owner_> im having a lot of trouble with it
[06:55] <gyaresu> chemisus: Did you read the read me? Is is a linux driver? Can you provide a link? What are the dependencies?
[06:55] <ivan_> Has anyone here been successful using a  ATI HDTV PCI card?
[06:55] <gyaresu> lori: Default ubuntu install is indeed gnome.
[06:55] <h1st0> owner_: well getting the network card working would be step one.
[06:55] <CM_Rapture> Hello all, anyone got time to help a frustrated noobie?
[06:55] <lori> gyaresu: "Ah" said the little hippie.
[06:55] <h1st0> owner_: then installing software would be step 2.  Because a webserver without working network is kind of pointless
[06:55] <chemisus> gyaresu, http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=23&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

[06:55] <grindar> frustrated with what?
[06:56] <omegacenti> arrenlex: Okay, so now my computer is doing 1024x768 (and it looks absolutely weird on widescreen)
[06:56] <gyaresu> ivan_: You obviously have not. So can you tell us what you have done and where you are up to. The better the background and question; the better the support.
[06:56] <omegacenti> getting 915 data
[06:56] <Dufresne`> i just created a new ext3 logical partition. when i try to mount it i get " can't find /dev/sda5 in etc/fstab or /etc/mtab " Can anyone tell me what's going on?
[06:56] <anonymeeee> Madpilot: I've taken the drive out of the box and put it in a usb drive case
[06:56] <owner_> i am currently running desktop edition and its working fine except for lamp
[06:56] <h1st0> Dufresne`: try mounting with sudo
[06:56] <Madpilot> anonymeeee, if that works, cool.
[06:56] <anonymeeee> how can I get ubuntu on it now?
[06:57] <h1st0> Dufresne`: sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mountpoint
[06:57] <lori> ubotu: do you have any info about a keyring that appears twice on bootup?
[06:57] <anonymeeee> what commands?
[06:57] <Dufresne`> h1st0, i did mount with sudo
[06:57] <owner_> i cant seem to configure the right files
[06:57] <h1st0> owner_: okay well then all you need to do is install apache mysql and php right?
[06:57] <[vali] > dont forget -t ext3
[06:57] <gyaresu> chemisus: Did you get the 'Others' download?
[06:57] <ivan_> Gyaresu: The TV card is installed, I have no experience using TV tuners in linux.  Trying to find a program that would decode HDTV and allow me to record programs like I do in Windows.
[06:57] <CM_Rapture> Ok, is there a step-by-step guide to installing Edgy for a complete Linux noobie? One that entails dealing with the lack of driver support for nVidia GeForce 8800gts and D-Link WiFi PCI cards?
[06:57] <owner_> i installed them
[06:57] <Madpilot> owner_, Apache should just work as installed. Try #apache for help there
[06:57] <arrenlex> omegacenti: And a new /var/log/Xorg.0.log please
[06:57] <h1st0> owner_: you should be able to find all of those in synaptic.
[06:57] <chemisus> gyaresu, no, the linux kernel one
[06:57] <omegacenti> arrenlex: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9053/ is 915resolution
[06:58] <Madpilot> ubotu, lamp | owner_
[06:58] <ubotu> owner_: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[06:58] <uber_newb> hey all, i'm trying to implement a 32bit chroot on AMD64, edgy eft, using the following tutorial http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24575&highlight=32+bit+chroot, My question is in the line that sayeth step 1 "sudo debootstrap --arch i386 hoary /chroot/ http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu" can i just change the line to "sudo debootstrap --arch i386 edgy /chroot/ http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu"
[06:58] <h1st0> owner_: your default webpage will go in /var/www
[06:58] <h1st0> owner_: and you can get to it by pointing your browser on that machine to 127.0.0.1
[06:58] <Madpilot> anonymeeee, does the box boot from CD now that it's connected by USB?
[06:58] <gyaresu> chemisus: Do you _have_ kernel 2.2.14 or version 2.4? (uname -a)
[06:58] <chemisus> gyaresu, ah, nah, 2.6
[06:59] <owner_> when i try to test a php file using http://localhost/test.php it gives me an error "Unknown: Failed opening '/var/www/test.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in Unknown on line 0"
[06:59] <h1st0> ahh I need a break for a bit.  Time for some nexuiz
[06:59] <arrenlex> uber_newb: Yes.
[06:59] <omegacenti> arrenlex: xorg log: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9054/
[06:59] <anonymeeee> Madpilot: no, I have it attached to this box now...different box
[06:59] <CM_Rapture> Ok, is there a step-by-step guide to installing Edgy for a complete Linux noobie? One that entails dealing with the lack of driver support for nVidia GeForce 8800gts and D-Link WiFi PCI cards?
[06:59] <h1st0> owner_: did you install php?
[06:59] <owner_> yea
[06:59] <gyaresu> chemisus: Answer: no. You want the 'Others' download I reckons... See what I mean about good questions. Next question you have to provide all that sort of stuff first. :)
[06:59] <rwjussel> I need to reinstall my wireless driver (Intel BG2200). Any help would definitely be appreciated.
[06:59] <h1st0> owner_: and the libmod for apache?
[06:59] <anonymeeee> Madpilot: I attached the usb drive to my working ubuntu box
[06:59] <chemisus> gyaresu, sorry, first time asking for help =P
[07:00] <owner_> yea
[07:00] <ivan_> Gyaresu: The TV card is installed, I have no experience using TV tuners in linux.  Trying to find a program that would decode HDTV and allow me to record programs like I do in Windows.
[07:00] <EaglesNestOne> still cant solve my problem
[07:00] <gyaresu> chemisus: No problem. I totally understand. Not all the lessons here are technical ;)
[07:00] <h1st0> owner_:you also need  libapache2-mod-php4  or libapache2-mod-php5 if you installed php5
[07:01] <gyaresu> ivan_: Ah yes. TV card. I'll have a look.
[07:01] <grindar> Anyone got experience with rioutil, or know where I can find someone who does?
[07:01] <chemisus> gyaresu, what exactly is the ncurses library for?
[07:01] <omegacenti> arrenlex: Its just weird. You're a good man in my book. :)
[07:01] <h1st0> owner_: then restart the apache after install php and it should work.
[07:01] <Madpilot> anonymeeee, I'm really not sure what to suggest. You can use non-CD methods to install Ubuntu, but I've never used any of them
[07:01] <EaglesNestOne> How do i uninstall Ubuntu
[07:01] <arrenlex> omegacenti: Actually, it's less weird than it seems.
[07:01] <h1st0> owner_: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[07:01] <arrenlex> omegacenti: There's an asterisk by that modeline, but there isn't next to any others.
[07:01] <gyaresu> chemisus: making friendly menus from the command line that you can even click on with mouse etc.
[07:01] <uber_newb> thanks
[07:01] <arrenlex> omegacenti: It seems to be throwing it away for some reason.
[07:01] <ivan_> Gyaresu: Thanks
[07:01] <omegacenti> arrenlex: Its a new planet with complete set of creatures weird for me.
[07:01] <uber_newb> i'm retrieving packages
[07:01] <arrenlex> omegacenti: I'm googling right now. Appears to be because of refresh rates.
[07:01] <CM_Rapture> i have tried to install Edgy x64 twice already, but my video card has proven to be a pain in my bootay. It prevents xserver/xorg from loading and makes my monitor go to sleep
[07:01] <cwill1> how can I go about forcing synaptic/apt to ignore a broken package completely?
[07:02] <EaglesNestOne> How do I uninstall ubuntu
[07:02] <CM_Rapture> is there a live cd around that supports the nvidia GeForce 8800gts "out of the box"?
[07:02] <cwill1> EaglesNestOne: install another os
[07:02] <eoX> find . -name "*.tmp" -exec rm {} \;
[07:02] <EaglesNestOne> i have windows aswell
[07:02] <eoX> why is the backslash needed?
[07:02] <gyaresu> ivan_: Have you had a look at the forum and teh interweb for other peoples experiences with that exact card?
[07:02] <cosmo__> when I install ubuntu do I need to go find drivers for my motherboard or should it detect it normally(my MB is several years old)
[07:02] <EaglesNestOne> i have ubuntu on my spare hard drive
[07:02] <omegacenti> EaglesNestOne: Install Microsoft Windows Millenium Edition. That will take care of none of your problems.
[07:02] <owner_> i installed apache2, php5-mysql, libapache2-mod-php5, mysql-server, using synaptic
[07:03] <cwill1> EaglesNestOne: do you have anything on it you need?
[07:03] <CM_Rapture> gyaresu: yes, but it all seems like another language to me... i've never used Linux before
[07:03] <lori> gyaresu: Here's another question.  Is it possible to tell Grub to use one operating system or the other by default on bootup?  My goal would be to have either Ubuntu or Xp bootup without displaying the Grub screen on bootup.
[07:03] <EaglesNestOne> yes
[07:03] <owner_> i got it off the ubuntu guide
[07:03] <cwill1> EaglesNestOne: like?
[07:03] <ledbettj> owner_: what's the problem? php pages aren't parsed, it just spits out the source?
[07:03] <EaglesNestOne> crap loads
[07:03] <EaglesNestOne> heaps and heaps
[07:03] <arrenlex> omegacenti: In the meantime, it should run at that resolution if you dial it back to 16 bits per pixel.
[07:03] <gyaresu> CM_Rapture: You'd be starting with one of the non-simple tasks then.
[07:03] <Dr_willis> CM_Rapture,  why are you messing with the 64bit version? you may hjave MUCH better luck with the 32bit version. You do not HAVE to use 64bit on an amd64 cpu. :)
[07:04] <EaglesNestOne> cant i just format my other hard drive?
[07:04] <cwill1> EaglesNestOne: that's what I was asking
[07:04] <ivan_> gyaresu: I do not remember what website I visited today, but I do remember that it mentioned a program called mythtv.  I tried installing it using Synaptic, but it terminates because a script error "something about dependencies".
[07:04] <EaglesNestOne> which has ubuntu
[07:04] <omegacenti> arrenlex: Dial what back to 16 bits per pixel?
[07:04] <EaglesNestOne> yes
[07:04] <CM_Rapture> Dr_willis: I was told only x64 works on AMD64 chips...
[07:04] <EaglesNestOne> theres nothing i need on the spare hard drive
[07:04] <arrenlex> omegacenti: X. In xorg.conf, change "24" to "16" where you have your resolutions.
[07:05] <EaglesNestOne> so how do i format
[07:05] <cwill1> EaglesNestOne: then you can just format it
[07:05] <gyaresu> lori: You could. I'm not quite sure what you mean. How do you want to chose which one starts?
[07:05] <EaglesNestOne> how
[07:05] <omegacenti> arrenlex: Have you seen my xorg?
[07:05] <marx2k_> !elive
[07:05] <owner_> when i try to test a phpi dont know when i load http://localhost/test.php it gives me an error "Unknown: Failed opening '/var/www/test.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in Unknown on line 0"
[07:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about elive - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:05] <arrenlex> omegacenti: You'll only get 16-bit colour depth, rather than 32-bit colour depth, but the right res.
[07:05] <arrenlex> omegacenti: Yes, why?
[07:05] <Dr_willis> CM_Rapture,  it ONLY works on amd64...... which is to say the 64bit disrto wont work on 32bit chips. :) thats NOT the same as 32bit disrto will also work on 64bit cpus
[07:05] <[Usurp] > hi
[07:05] <CM_Rapture> Does the 32-bit version support my gfx card?
[07:05] <gyaresu> ivan_: Yeah you probably need to setup your repositories (places the packages are stored)
[07:05] <cwill1> EaglesNestOne: a microsoft forum might be a better place for such an answer, but I believe you can boot into windows, go to administrative tools | disk manager, select the drive, and tell it to format
[07:05] <marx2k_> Hm the bot does not know about ELive
[07:05] <owner_> thats what i cant figure out
[07:05] <marx2k_> I dont know how I feel about thast
[07:05] <gyaresu> !repos | ivan_
[07:05] <Dr_willis> CM_Rapture, trust us.. go get the 32bit version and use it. :)
[07:05] <ubotu> ivan_: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[07:05] <arrenlex> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9050/ <-- lines 117 and 119 go to 16 instead of 24.
[07:05] <EaglesNestOne> no thats just the thing i cant
[07:05] <Dr_willis> CM_Rapture,  there i have several amd64 machines.. and i only use the 32bit disrtos
[07:05] <cwill1> is there any way to force apt to ignore a broken package?
[07:06] <arrenlex> omegacenti: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9050/ <-- lines 117 and 119 go to 16 instead of 24.
[07:06] <omegacenti> arrenlex: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9055/
[07:06] <EaglesNestOne> the drive dosent show up in windows
[07:06] <cwill1> EaglesNestOne: ?
[07:06] <omegacenti> okay one second.
[07:06] <ledbettj> owner_: it looks like a permissions problem.  if you type "ls -lh /var/www/test.php" what does it show for the permissions/owners?
[07:06] <cwill1> did you go into the disk manager?  because the disk _will_ be there
[07:06] <arrenlex> omegacenti: Yep, 117 and 119
[07:06] <lori> gyaresu: I am sorry if I'm less than clear.  I'm a total noobie.  I'd like to have Ubuntu boot up right away when i power on my laptop.  Instead, what I have now, is a Grub screen that appears and gives me a choice of either Ubuntu or windows xp.
[07:06] <ivan_> gyaresu, ubotu: Thanks I will try that website
[07:06] <cwill1> not windows explorer

[07:07] <cwill1> EaglesNestOne: administrative tools, disk tools, select the drive(it will be there)
[07:08] <lori> gyaresu: I have opened one.
[07:08] <Ax3> ok im trying to set a new mode on a removable disk using CHMOD in tty, but nothing is happening, the command clears like it's working, then i do a ls -lha to check the permissions, and it remains the same? the disk is a removable external seagate drive (300gb) help!
[07:08] <owner_> it says owner has permission
[07:08] <ivan_> ubotu: Thanks I am in the process of checking the website link you sent
[07:08] <eoX> 	find . -name "*.tmp" -exec rm {} \;   for my question why is the backslash needed there?
[07:08] <gyaresu> lori: and have you used vi before?
[07:08] <ledbettj> owner_: what about the "rwx" stuff?  how many "r"s are there?
[07:08] <owner_> it says   -rw------- 1 owner owner 28 2007-03-07 00:02 /var/www/test.php
[07:08] <jhornick> it just escapes the end of the -exec command
[07:08] <lori> gyaresu:  I do not know what vi is.
[07:08] <bjv> arrenlex: sounds promising, should i remove --purge hibernate?
[07:08] <ledbettj> owner_: that's the problem
[07:08] <jhornick> lori: vi is an advanced commandline text editor
[07:08] <owner_> how do i fix it
[07:09] <ledbettj> owner_: the web server runs as a different user, and it doesn't have read access to your file
[07:09] <arrenlex> bjv: If you like. Neither of those utilities ever worked on my laptop, but powersave was the closest.
[07:09] <bjv> arrenlex: some things have been screwy since i migrated away from root on /dev/hdc
[07:09] <arrenlex> omegacenti: Restart x
[07:09] <omegacenti> k
[07:09] <lori> jhornick: I dont believe i have used the advanced command line.
[07:09] <ledbettj> owner_: you can browse to the file in nautilus, right click on it, choose "permissions", and give all users read access
[07:09] <bjv> arrenlex: well, ill give it a shot
[07:09] <ledbettj> owner_: or you can type "chmod a+r /var/www/test.php"
[07:09] <lori> jhornick: hehe, i love the tab key...
[07:09] <cwill1> I've got a package installed that works fine, but synaptic lists as broken.  How can I force synaptic to ignore this packagE?
[07:09] <jhornick> lori: I just joined so im not sure what your request is neededing, but if your asking what vi is, I would recommend using a different editor =D
[07:10] <Ax3> anyone experience this with removable hard drives?
[07:10] <chemisus> gyaresu, downloaded the others one, ran it, and it still failed at curses
[07:10] <Ax3> i've been trying to set permissions for a good 15 minutes, thru gnome and the tty, and still nothing
[07:10] <gyaresu> lori: It's a text editor. Installed on all linux machines and super dooper cool. Try installing/running 'vimtutor' to get the tutorial. But for now if you could run (minus the apostraphes) 'sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst'
[07:10] <eoX> lori u should atleast do the vi tutor
[07:10] <lori> jhornick: I wanted ubuntu to boot up when i power on my laptop. but right now i get a grub screen with the choice of ubuntu or xp.
[07:10] <euxneks> yo
[07:10] <[vali] > i recommend to install vim instead the default one
[07:11] <lori> eox: that sounds like a good idea.  where is the vi tutor?
[07:11] <eoX>  gyaresu: super dooper cool. translation super dooper nasty hard
[07:11] <jhornick> lori: so, did you want to remove xp from the boot options?
[07:11] <euxneks> I'm trying to install ubuntu herd5 on an Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 with a SATA2 320 GB Seagate drive
[07:11] <omegacenti> arrenlex: By any chance do you know how to tell whether or not the resolution changed?
[07:11] <lori> lol, nm
[07:11] <arrenlex> omegacenti: You can't even tell?! XD
[07:11] <owner_> thank you so much it worked...im new to ubuntu
[07:11] <eoX> lori it comes with vi wimtutor
[07:11] <gyaresu> eoX: um. no.
[07:11] <euxneks> it's hanging with "can't access tty: job control turned off"
[07:11] <omegacenti> arrenlex: in screen resolution manager it still says 1024x768
[07:11] <arrenlex> omegacenti: Go to that place in X and see if that option has become available.
[07:12] <Rio> i just installed proftpd as inetd server, and i cant seem to connect.  it just says "unable to make a connection.  please try again".  if i use a command prompt, it says "connection closed by host"  what can i do?
[07:12] <lori> jhornick: i only want to remove xp from the options if i am able to manually boot into xp if i feel like it.
[07:12] <ledbettj> owner_: cool, glad it helped.
[07:12] <omegacenti> arrenlex:  um... what place in X...
[07:12] <lori> eoX: thanks :)
[07:12] <euxneks> anyone got any idea what I'm doing wrong? This is a completely new computer and nothing installed on it =)
[07:12] <tehchieftain> my usb slots wont detect anything unless its already plugged in when i boot.  anyone know?
[07:12] <eoX> gyaresu:  u sure, im pretty sure it comes with vi already
[07:12] <omglazers> Hey everyone quick question about the GRUB bootloader when installing; im trying to put on xubuntu and it wants to install the grub boot to (hd0) except there's only one drive in right now and its sda. Is hd0 correct or is it mistaken? Is that supposed to be the MBR..?
[07:12] <arrenlex> omegacenti: in gnome. The one that the nice people gave you after I shouted yo, channel.
[07:12] <CM_Rapture> does anyone know how/if I can install video drivers during install?
[07:12] <[vali] > omegacenti: any pastebin with your config ?
[07:12] <owner_> one more question  how do i view the file in nautlius
[07:12] <omegacenti> [vali] : many.
[07:13] <[vali] > post one url then XD
[07:13] <gyaresu> Ok fine. everyone talk over each other. I'm off for coffee. Someone help lori change the default delay time in menu.lst and add xp to it.
[07:13] <jhornick> lori: well you can edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file so that ubuntu is the default option, but if you remove it from that list you will need to re-add it before you can boot back to xp
[07:13] <ledbettj> owner_: you can open a nautilus window by typing "nautilus" or choosing one of the options from the "places" menu
[07:13] <lori> gyaresu:  thanks for your help :)
[07:13] <omegacenti> arrenlex: do you mean the system-->preferences--> screen resolution?
[07:13] <arooni> how do i adjust screen brightnes

[07:13] <tehchieftain> my usb slots wont detect anything unless its already connected when i boot, anyone know how to fix this?
[07:14] <sparr> something has royally f*cked my xorg.conf.  it now has only 5 resolutions, not including my max 1280x1024, including some weird ones like 1280x854.  X is now running with a viewport.  pre-reboot, xrandr listed a dozen valid resolutions.  help?
[07:14] <gyaresu> chemisus: I'm getting a 404 error on downloading so I can't even look at the file atm.
[07:14] <apallo> how do i comment out a block in bash?

[07:14] <lwizardl> hi
[07:14] <gyaresu> chemisus: Let me put the kettle on and come back. Where did you get the info from that you needed to install this btw?
[07:14] <omegacenti> arrenlex: It syays 1024x768
[07:15] <arrenlex> omegacenti: You can't change it?
[07:15] <chemisus> gyaresu, it comes up during the installation
[07:15] <tehchieftain> my usb slots wont auto detect, they only detect what is plugged in when i boot.  anyone know how to fix this?
[07:15] <omglazers> Anyone mind helping me out with GRUB issues during ubuntu install?
[07:15] <arrenlex> omegacenti: Post a new /var/log/Xorg.0.log for kicks, but I'm pretty sure I'm beat for good this time.
[07:15] <arooni> how do i adjust screen brightnes
[07:15] <omegacenti> arrenlex: Not unless I am missing something more obvious then trying to click it and seeing only 1024x768
[07:15] <gyaresu> chemisus: Nah. Why do you need the file from realtek?
[07:15] <lwizardl> can ubuntu be completly installed using ssh ?
[07:15] <omegacenti> one sec arrenlex
[07:15] <[vali] > omegacenti: and whats the problem ?
[07:15] <tehchieftain> my usb slots wont auto detect, they only detect what is plugged in when i boot.  anyone know how to fix this?
[07:15] <chemisus> gyaresu, its an onboard audio, and giga-byte said to download it from the vendor
[07:15] <omegacenti> one sec [vali]  request pending.
[07:16] <gyaresu> chemisus: 0_o
[07:16] <arrenlex> [vali] : They want to switch to 800x600 but the machine insists on running 1024x768 even with that log.
[07:16] <chemisus> my motherboard is a giga-byte GA-8IG1000 Pro-G
[07:16] <arrenlex> [vali] : log -> conf
[07:16] <[vali] > weird
[07:16] <omegacenti> arrenlex: log http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9057/
[07:16] <CM_Rapture> is there a VGA mode similar to windows for edgy install?
[07:16] <tehchieftain> my usb slots wont auto detect, they only detect what is plugged in when i boot.  anyone know how to fix this?
[07:16] <jhornick> there is a failsafe video mode
[07:16] <arrenlex> omegacenti: (II) I810(0): Not using mode "800x600" (no mode of this name). Yep, I'm beat. = /
[07:17] <arrenlex> omegacenti: I'm sorry...
[07:17] <euxneks> anyone familiar with fresh installs?
[07:17] <gyaresu> chemisus: Dude this is linux. Vendors hate us ;) This is ubuntu you're trying to install right? Things are done differently here. (That being said you may actually need to do it the way you are currently trying)
[07:17] <jhornick> euxneks: what part of fresh installs?
[07:17] <tehchieftain> my usb slots wont auto detect, they only detect what is plugged in when i boot.  anyone know how to fix this?
[07:17] <omegacenti> [vali] : I am simply trying to get the resolution 800x600 available in my ubuntu 6.10, the problem lies in that I have a 915 Intel chipset, I am using 915resolution, it seems to have not worked or I am just incompitent in the matter, my xorg edits did something, or the computer itself is possessed.
[07:17] <euxneks> installing - it's hanging saying "can't access tty: job control turned off"
[07:18] <chemisus> gyaresu, ubuntu is already installed. i just wanted my sound to work.
[07:18] <omegacenti> arrenlex: I stand by my words that you are a good man and that you tried your damndest. Thankyou for all the time you allowed for me.
[07:18] <gyaresu> chemisus: ac97 audio codecs huh? Have you looked at !sound etc. for the ubuntu way of sorting it?
[07:18] <jhornick> never seen that
[07:18] <euxneks> crappeh
[07:18] <jhornick> omega: there is a kernel module for the video drivers
[07:18] <chemisus> gyaresu, never heard of that
[07:18] <gyaresu> !chemisus | sound
[07:18] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about chemisus - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:18] <gyaresu> !sound | chemisus
[07:18] <ubotu> chemisus: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[07:18] <Dufresne`> i just created a new ext3 logical partition. when i try to mount it i get " can't find /dev/sda5 in etc/fstab or /etc/mtab " Can anyone tell me what's going on?
[07:18] <jhornick> do you have the program modconf installed?
[07:18] <tehchieftain> my usb slots wont auto detect, they only detect what is plugged in when i boot.  anyone know how to fix this?
[07:19] <cosmo__> wth I downloaded ubuntu edgy iso to my desktop, now I can't find it
[07:19] <omegacenti> jhornick: no idea, tell me how to tell and I will tell you immediately :)
[07:19] <CM_Rapture> tehchieftain: in terminal try 'dmseg | tail' and then 'mount -t vfat /dev/(USB drive, usually sda1) /usb'
[07:19] <CM_Rapture> er
[07:19] <oggy> just curious about something
[07:19] <CM_Rapture> test
[07:19] <omegacenti> [vali] : not sure if you have replied but I might have missed it.
[07:19] <CM_Rapture> '/dev/usb'
[07:19] <oggy> any other cool things you can do with ubuntu besides having a cool desktop
[07:20] <jhornick> omega: open a terminal and type modconf
[07:20] <omegacenti> one sec.
[07:20] <arrenlex> oggy: You can switch to console and compile things to make your friends think you are hacking the gibson. :)
[07:20] <[vali] > no... it seems that is a common problem... im just googling it (the xorg.conf seems right to me)
[07:20] <omegacenti> jhornick: not found
[07:20] <oggy> sweet
[07:20] <oggy> hehe
[07:20] <jhornick> okay, you will need that installed for this
[07:20] <omegacenti> get it from synaptics?
[07:20] <jhornick> yup
[07:20] <tritoch>  * Forcing reload of apache 2.0 web server... grep: /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ssl: No such file or directory
[07:20] <tritoch> why is this a problem?
[07:21] <gyaresu> chemisus: Most 'drivers' get loaded into the Linux kernel as modules. Most modules come from packages allready ready to install or sometimes you need the latest and have to diddle around a bit to get things to work but mostly there are know ways of doing things.
[07:21] <jhornick> its just a util for enableing and disableing kernel modules
[07:21] <CM_Rapture> Can I download the proper nVidia drivers to my USB pen drive and have edgy use those during clean install?
[07:21] <omglazers> Anyone mind helping me out with GRUB issues during ubuntu install?
[07:21] <Flannel> tritoch: Looks like you've got some... path confusion there. or something.  What have you edited?
[07:21] <omegacenti> jhornick: then I will do as commanded :)
[07:21] <tehchieftain> hey rapture, can you check your pms
[07:21] <tritoch> Flannel: i made a symlink between sites-enabled and sites-available
[07:21] <CM_Rapture> ?
[07:22] <Flannel> tritoch: Just a ssl virtualhost, you mean?
[07:22] <CM_Rapture> i don't have any
[07:22] <[vali] > omegacenti: there is a program called 915resolution.. did you tried it ?
[07:22] <omegacenti> jhornick: If you would be so kind as to put my name in front of anything that is addressed to me, I would appreciate t, it makes it easier to find your text.
[07:22] <chemisus> ah, it works now
[07:22] <tehchieftain> i just msg'd you
[07:22] <tehchieftain> wtf
[07:22] <chemisus> gyaresu, thanks hehe
[07:22] <tritoch> that was the intent, it's just a duplicate of the default
[07:22] <arooni> i cant change my laptop brightness
[07:22] <arooni> ideas?
[07:22] <jhornick> omegacenti: full thing, or is just omega good enough?
[07:22] <tritoch> but i deleted the sites-available version
[07:22] <tritoch> if i delete the sites-enabled will this all go away :D
[07:22] <Flannel> tritoch: er... You shouldn't.
[07:22] <Frogzoo> arooni: what kind of lappie?
[07:22] <omegacenti> [vali] : I haveit  915resolution and I have run it as people have said, but as to what  it exactly does, I do not know.
[07:23] <Flannel> tritoch: you should have sites-available, and symlink to sites-enabled
[07:23] <omegacenti> jhornick: what do you mean by full thing?
[07:23] <arooni> Frogzoo: its a brand new sony vaio
[07:23] <gyaresu> chemisus: Welcome to Oz ;)
[07:23] <Flannel> tritoch: but keep it in sites-available

[07:23] <omegacenti> jhornick: What type of irc client are you using?
[07:23] <jhornick> omegacenti: nevermind, you will also need this package xserver-xorg-video-i810 (the i810 package does the i8xx and i9xx drivers)
[07:23] <omegacenti> I thought I had the i810 drivers.
[07:23] <jhornick> omegacenti: im using an gaim from a fairly recent svn
[07:24] <omegacenti> Does it have tab completion?
[07:24] <CM_Rapture> Is it possible to use drivers from my USB pen drive and have edgy use those during clean install?
[07:24] <jhornick> omegacenti: well they might not be loaded in the kernel
[07:24] <omegacenti> okay one sec.
[07:24] <arooni> Frogzoo: no i havent yet
[07:24] <tritoch> Flannel: ok i re-created the linked (available) file, do i need to re-do the sym link?
[07:24] <Frogzoo> CM_Rapture: sure, with some fiddling
[07:24] <arooni> havent heard fo it
[07:24] <Frogzoo> arooni: that's what I use
[07:24] <[vali] > omegacenti: when did you run the program ?
[07:24] <CM_Rapture> Frogzoo: care to elaborate?
[07:25] <omegacenti> jhornick: how should I get xserver-xorg-video-i810?
[07:25] <arooni> Frogzoo: ok its installed now what do i do
[07:25] <omegacenti> [vali] : I would say maybe 3 hours ago?

[07:25] <Flannel> tritoch: delete it, and use a2ensite
[07:25] <zxcvbnm> salam
[07:25] <arooni> Frogzoo: i dont see anything happenign when i do that
[07:25] <[vali] > omegacenti: i mean it must be run before X starts... if you run it form a xterm or so it will not work
[07:26] <Flannel> tritoch: er, delete the symlink, and use a2ensite to enable it (a2ensite will symlink for you), that is.
[07:26] <omegacenti> jhornick: I have the newest version
[07:26] <oggy> damit I still have a hard time using screen with irssi
[07:26] <omegacenti> [vali] : this is an area I have not discussed yet with anyone, please continue this line of thought.

[07:27] <sontek> Hey, I'm trying to switch my file server from OpenSUSE to Ubuntu but the installation keeps freezing at 69% (I let it sit for 3 days)
[07:27] <omglazers> Anyone mind helping me out with GRUB issues during ubuntu install?
[07:27] <Frogzoo> arooni: sudo spicctrl -b 30
[07:27] <tritoch> Flannel: i got a little overzealous and deleted the certificate too, what's the a2 command for creating it again?
[07:27] <arooni> Frogzoo: nothing :(
[07:27] <omegacenti> okay done.
[07:27] <CM_Rapture> then i dunno tehchieftain
[07:27] <sontek> It doesn't actually freeze, I can use the extra terminals, just the installation doesn't complete
[07:27] <Dougie> woot got internet working over wireless :)
[07:27] <Madpilot> sontek, sounds like a bad install CD - did you run the "check this CD" option on it?
[07:27] <sontek> is there a way to figure out what its sticking on?
[07:27] <omegacenti> jhornick: doesn't seem to have done anything, but I guess it did.

[07:29] <lwizardl> anyone here used a compaq proliant 7000 server?
[07:29] <[vali] > he is using i810 already
[07:29] <Madpilot> Dougie, xchat is in the Universe repo, "sudo apt-get install xchat" will work if  you've got Universe enabled
[07:30] <zxcvbnm> FARSIKASI BALADE
[07:30] <euxneks> Dougie: tab completion might work
[07:30] <omegacenti> jhornick: Yeah, I thought I am already using i810 as stated in xorg.
[07:30] <jhornick> oh
[07:30] <jhornick> k
[07:30] <jhornick> and here I thought you were not
[07:30] <Dufresne`> Help! i just created a new ext3 logical partition. when i try to mount it i get " can't find /dev/sda5 in etc/fstab or /etc/mtab "
[07:30] <Frogzoo> arooni: sudo spicctrl -B
[07:30] <Flannel> tritoch: apache2-ssl-certificate
[07:30] <omegacenti> [vali] : Okay,so now I run your batch of command in alt ctrl 1
[07:30] <arooni> Frogzoo: returns 0
[07:30] <CM_Rapture> Ok, I've got my proper gfx card driver installed on my pen drive (a .run file), how would I go about forcing edgy to use this driver instead of nv during a clean install?
[07:30] <VanessaE> mount /dev/sda5 /somedirectory
[07:31] <VanessaE> (i.e. you need to add a mount point after the device name)
[07:31] <omegacenti> [vali] : Will be back in a second
[07:31] <Dougie> i don't have universe enabled
[07:31] <[vali] > ok
[07:31] <omegacenti> [vali] : ctrl alt 1 does not seem to work.
[07:31] <Frogzoo> arooni: unless brightness is currently zero, seems it's not working
[07:31] <jhornick> f1
[07:31] <billy> it's the rizzle shizzle
[07:31] <[vali] > oops... f1, my mistake
[07:32] <CM_Rapture> lol @ frogzoo
[07:32] <Psykus> can anyone help with ndiswrapper? i've tried installing the latest version of ndiswrapper via compiling, tried different drivers with the wifi card, both the ones on the CD and ones recomended on the ndiswrapper wiki (it's up there, says my card works with ndiswrapper), and i had it working fine in an older version of ubuntu, any ideas?
[07:32] <arooni> Frogzoo: its definitley bright... any other ideas?
[07:32] <billy> anyone use docks?
[07:32] <Madpilot> ubotu, universe | Dougie
[07:32] <ubotu> Dougie: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[07:32] <bullgard1> Madpilot: There are 5 classes of repositories, I believe. What are their names besides 'Universe'?
[07:32] <billy> or a dock?
[07:32] <savvas> is anyone else getting "connection timed out" for security.ubuntu.com repos?
[07:32] <rbil> CM_Rapture: I doubt that u can. I think you'll need to let the install fully install your system and then you can install the proprietary driver.
[07:32] <Madpilot> bullgard1, there are four main ones - Main & Restricted (both enabled by default), then Universe & Multiverse (which aren't)
[07:32] <Psykus> ndiswrapper installs fine, loads the driver, says 'device present', I get a new device, eth1 that shows up as a wireless device, but i can't set an SSID or key or anything
[07:32] <CM_Rapture> rbil, problem is, edgy and GeForce 8800 gts don't like each other with the default nv drivers
[07:33] <Psykus> doesn't show any wireless networks in the gnome net config window either
[07:33] <CM_Rapture> I can't get to a GUI of any sort
[07:33] <arooni> Frogzoo: any other suggestions
[07:33] <Frogzoo> arooni: ls -l /etc/acpi/sonybright.sh
[07:33] <VanessaE> ironic really that restricted would be enabled by default and yet uni/multiverse aren't
[07:33] <tehchieftain> my usb slots wont auto detect, they only detect what is plugged in when i boot.  anyone know how to fix this?
[07:33] <tritoch> thank you Flannel; i'm so happy ive got lamp + ftp running all with ssl :D
[07:33] <arooni> Frogzoo: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 746 2006-10-15 12:30 /etc/acpi/sonybright.sh
[07:34] <bullgard1> Madpilot: And is there a special name for these 4 classes as a category?
[07:34] <rbil> CM_Rapture: yeh, but why do you need to get to a GUI in the first place? If you have the proprietary driver, you can install it from the CLI after the system is up and running.
[07:34] <jhornick> tehchieftan: try a mounting daemon like ivman
[07:34] <Psykus> people in #ndiswrapper helped me compile the new version , still does the same thing
[07:34] <CM_Rapture> is there a guide somewhere on how to do that?
[07:34] <Madpilot> bullgard1, not really - they're all just repos.
[07:35] <Frogzoo> arooni: ooh - I notice in that file "# Recent nvidia Sonys have ACPI methods that do nothing. Thanks, Sony."
[07:35] <Madpilot> bullgard1, http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components for the how & why of Ubuntu's repository setup
[07:35] <lepine_h> running ubuntu server 6.06 ... up to date on everything ... does anyone else has a bug in /etc/init.d/apache2 [restart|reload|stop]   ?
[07:35] <arooni> Frogzoo: does that mean im screwed
[07:35] <lepine_h> whenever i try, it hangs

[07:35] <bullgard1> Madpilot: And the ranking is Main > Universe > Restricted > Multiverse?
[07:35] <CM_Rapture> thanx
[07:36] <tehchieftain> try mounting daemon? what does that have to do with my wireless mouse not detecting after i unplug it and try to plug it back in.
[07:36] <omegacenti> [vali] : I don't think it worked.
[07:36] <bullgard1> Madpilot: I will read the link you suggested.
[07:36] <tehchieftain> only detects it after its plugged in while booted
[07:36] <[vali] > omegacenti: :(
[07:36] <balu123> hey guys. i was always thinking about installing ubuntu instead of xp at my computer. but I cannot even install it. I start with boot cd, select 1 or 2 and then the screen with the "moving bar" appears for about 2 mins. then nothing happens. pentium 4, 1028gb ram, radeon x850. I didn't find any help on the internet
[07:36] <Madpilot> bullgard1, more like Main - Restricted - Universe - Multiverse, insofar as there is a ranking
[07:36] <omegacenti> [vali] : might you walk me through the process of using this 915resolution?
[07:36] <Psykus> also non ubuntu related question, my computer freezes right before the memory check whenever my ipod is plugged in at boot :(
[07:36] <Psykus> question/issue
[07:36] <balu123> any ideas?
[07:36] <bullgard1> Madpilot: Thank you.

[07:37] <Madpilot> Flannel, I just gave him that URL
[07:37] <omegacenti> I know it has a config thing, and I did edit it through someone elses suggestion... I justdon't know what to do.
[07:37] <Dougie> ok i'm going through this guide for universe and its not right... its a little outdated or something cause there is no software preferences under admin
[07:37] <omegacenti> gah.
[07:37] <Flannel> Madpilot: eh?  I guess I missed it.
[07:37] <Frogzoo> arooni: it doesn't mean that - for one thing, it might be fixed in feisty
[07:37] <Dougie> oh...nvm
[07:37] <Madpilot> Dougie, Software Sources
[07:37] <Flannel> Dougie: It's "software sources" in Edgy
[07:37] <[vali] > omegacenti: http://www.geocities.com/stomljen/readme.html
[07:37] <Dougie> you just check the boxes
[07:37] <arooni> Frogzoo: ahh, but is there nothing i can do until feisty?
[07:37] <Dougie> lol
[07:37] <Madpilot> Dougie, which guide for repos, BTW? If it
[07:37] <balu123> come on guys. I'm tired of windows
[07:38] <Frogzoo> arooni: you can google around for a fix 'acpi sony linux' & see what turns up
[07:38] <owner_> what is the best editor for php and css i used to use dreamweaver but i switched to ubuntu recently
[07:38] <arooni> Frogzoo: when is fesity coming out
[07:38] <Dougie> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
[07:38] <lepine_h> any ideas? i constantly get 'httpd (pid X?) not running' ... while it is
[07:38] <Frogzoo> arooni: april
[07:38] <[vali] > omegacenti: you may need to change steps 7-8 to ubuntu...
[07:38] <Madpilot> owner_, Bluefish or Screem. Nvu if you think you need a WYSIWYG thing.
[07:38] <rbil> CM_Rapture: http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Latest_Nvidia_Edgy
[07:38] <omegacenti> [vali] : I am reading as we speak.
[07:38] <jhornick> owner_: I kinda like bluefish
[07:39] <arooni> Frogzoo: how easy is it to upgrade to fesity from edgy?
[07:39] <Dougie> should i enable multiverse?
[07:39] <TheMonkeyMoo> has anyone here had any success getting the bonjour plugin for Gaim working? I have avahi-daemon installed and I can start the daemon through terminal, which causes me to show up on other people's lists (iChat and Trillian) but I see nobody and am unable to receive any messages. Alternately can anyone point me to a different channel?
[07:39] <omegacenti> [vali] : Any suggestions on how to put 915resolution in my startupscripts?
[07:39] <owner_> how bout zend? is that any good
[07:39] <Frogzoo> arooni: never done it
[07:40] <Madpilot> Dougie, probably, It won't do any harm and there are some useful things in Multiverse
[07:40] <arooni> Frogzoo: well say going from dapper to edgy... in general do i need to copmletely reinstalll ? or is there an upgrade path
[07:40] <VanessaE> dapper -> edgy is easy
[07:40] <tehchieftain> my usb slots wont auto detect, they only detect what is plugged in when i boot.  anyone know how to fix this?
[07:40] <Flannel> !upgrade | arooni
[07:40] <ubotu> arooni: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[07:40] <omegacenti> [vali] : Not sure if you caught the last comment.
[07:40] <sontek> Hey, I'm trying to switch my file server from OpenSUSE to Ubuntu but the installation keeps freezing at 69% (I let it sit for 3 days)  It doesn't actually freeze, I can use the other terminals and even kill the installation process to restart it.   The disk worked fine with another computer so thats not whats wrong.  Is there a way I can check what its freezing on?
[07:40] <Frogzoo> arooni: don't forget - it's not guaranteed feisty will fix your problem
[07:40] <[vali] > omegacenti: write the script, chmod 775 and put in /etc/init.d, then make a simbolic link in /etc/rc.2 called S1095resolution (or something) pointing to it
[07:41] <omegacenti> write what script?
[07:41] <VanessaE> in short:  change every occurrance of "dapper" to "edgy" in your /etc/apt/sources.list, apt-get update, apt-get dist upgrade, and pray. :-)
[07:41] <billy> anyone tried the kiba-docks howto on ubuntuforums lately.  looks like some folks are having difficulties.
[07:41] <VanessaE> er, dist-upgrade evenm
[07:41] <omegacenti> [vali] : Wow, my head has just been rushed over.
[07:41] <VonFluffy> wtf is wrong with ubuntyforums fonts did someone change them
[07:41] <Madpilot> VanessaE, that's no longer the suggested/supported upgrade method
[07:41] <VanessaE> oh?
[07:42] <Dougie> ok i'll be back on xchat
[07:42] <Madpilot> ubotu, upgrade | VanessaE
[07:42] <ubotu> VanessaE: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[07:42] <VanessaE> wfm, but I'll take your word for it :)
[07:42] <omegacenti> [vali] : I'm sorry but I might need a little help with that info
[07:42] <tehchieftain> my usb slots wont auto detect, they only detect what is plugged in when i boot.  anyone know how to fix this?
[07:42] <[vali] > omegacenti: you need to find the desired parameters to 915resolution
[07:42] <Madpilot> VanessaE, that said, using upgrade-manage is hella slow. It was far faster for me to torrent the Edgy ISO and reinstall than it was to upgrade Dapper->Edgy in place.
[07:42] <omegacenti> [vali] : also, it seems that 915resolution only changes what in the Vbiod, so I don't know if thats helpful
[07:42] <VanessaE> *nod*
[07:43] <omegacenti> [vali] : Oh boy.
[07:43] <billy> tehchieftain, i'm not sure about your system, but I have to turn that function on in my BIOS.
[07:44] <billy> tehchieftain, i guess that would be step one.  :)  after that I'm not sure how to help.
[07:44] <VanessaE> my husband used the old update method and it was dog slow, on my box I chose to do a full install
[07:44] <[vali] > omegacenti: ok... step by step...
[07:44] <omegacenti> [vali] : That would be VERY helpful.
[07:44] <VanessaE> that said, edgy -> feisty was a piece of cake :)
[07:44] <omegacenti> [vali] :  pm?
[07:44] <sontek> i'm looking at the log right now... it says 'Missing modules ide-core (linux ide support)'  does that mean its a bad disk?
[07:44] <sontek> even though it detects it just fine
[07:45] <[vali] > use "915resolution -l" and paste it somewhere
[07:45] <ekimus> is there a debootstrap rpm for ubuntu available? i can only find debian debootstrap packages and they don't know anything about edgy installation... :(
[07:45] <sontek> and then I get hdd errors hda: DMA timeout retry   hda: timeout waiting for dma, ide: failed opcode was: unknown: hda: drive not ready for command: hda atapi reset complete
[07:45] <Darkkish> My memory was at 300MB (out of 478MB)
[07:45] <Darkkish> with no programs running
[07:45] <bjv> i moved swap & root from /dev/hdc to /dev/hda. after the move & updateing resume= for the kernel, hibernate & powersaved cannot suspend the machine. hibernate will spin up the old drive /dev/hdc even if i spin it down before the suspend. rebooting and removing /dev/hdc from the machine entirely enables hibernate to properly suspend & resume.
[07:45] <Darkkish> and so i restarted
[07:45] <Darkkish> and now its back down to 100MB
[07:46] <noodles12> probably a dumb question but where do i go to search the ubuntu repos?
[07:46] <bjv> anyone familiar enough with swsusp in ubuntu as to how the drive could be interfering with suspending?
[07:46] <Darkkish> how do i not restart, to regain my ram?
[07:46] <VanessaE> packages.ubuntu.com
[07:46] <lepine_h> noodles12 apt-cache search TERM
[07:46] <VanessaE> darkkish: you don't - unused ram is wasted ram
[07:46] <savvas> hi, i'd like to stop Translation-en_US to stop appearing in my repositories, how can i do that? i think it's an edgy bug
[07:46] <jhornick> noodles: or aptitude search TERM
[07:46] <ekimus> Darkkish: do you mean 300MB where used (which is a good thing) or 300 MB out of 478 were accessible which would indicate bad ram...
[07:46] <omegacenti> [vali] : Done.
[07:47] <VanessaE> er, I misread that..
[07:47] <jhornick> Darkish: a lot of what's reported as being used is just cached data
[07:47] <uber_newb> hello, i'm attempting to do a 32 bit chroot, using the folllowing howto "http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24575&highlight=32+bit+chroot", in step 5 i execute the cmd "dchroot -d" and i get the following error... "W: No chroots are defined in /etc/schroot/schroot.conf
[07:47] <uber_newb> E: default: Chroot not found
[07:47] <uber_newb> "
[07:47] <[vali] > i mean... paste it in paste.ubuntu.nl
[07:47] <omegacenti> oh.
[07:47] <tehchieftain> my usb slots wont auto detect, they only detect what is plugged in when i boot.  anyone know how to fix this?
[07:47] <Darkkish> VanessaE, sure unused is ram is wasted, but not if its in need of being used by something else, especially ona  700MHz laptop
[07:48] <VanessaE> darkkish: seriously, in linux you don't have to do tricks like that
[07:48] <tehchieftain> my usb slot wont detect my wireless mouse adaptor after i boot, only works if i boot with it plugged in, anyone know how to fix?
[07:48] <Madpilot> Darkkish, Linux is far better than XP about RAM management, let your system use the RAM available.
[07:48] <VanessaE> the kernel will automatically reclaim memory as needed
[07:48] <omegacenti> [vali] : 915resolution -l http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9058/
[07:48] <VanessaE> better you should close apps you don't need, or reduce what you use if you're low on physical RAM
[07:49] <noodles12> lepine_h: thanks guy.
[07:49] <beg1689> hey... how do i obtain an ip from dhcp
[07:49] <bjv> yeah, cached ram is nothing. totally transparent.     if a new app is loading or something requests more space, it will just automatically start using the cache space
[07:49] <beg1689> and use it as my internet connection
[07:49] <jmiller565> !Linus
[07:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about linus - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:49] <VanessaE> and do stuff like running say afterstep or E or similar instead of kde/gnome
[07:50] <Darkkish> VanessaE, I closed all of my apps, nothing was running, and i was still at 300
[07:50] <jmiller565> !ubuntu
[07:50] <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
[07:50] <VanessaE> that's normal
[07:50] <jhornick> Darkkish: its just system cache
[07:50] <Darkkish> if you say so
[07:50] <VanessaE> the system keeps that data cached
[07:50] <VanessaE> it will re-use that memory if it needs to
[07:50] <bjv> Darkkish: pretend you are using windows and /proc/memstat instead says "MS SuperFetch" instead of cache
[07:51] <omegacenti> [vali] : Done: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9058/
[07:51] <[vali] > ok
[07:51] <bjv> Darkkish: cache means the OS has no other use for that ram (yet) so it is holding commonly used hard disk files in ram
[07:51] <bjv> Darkkish: for faster access
[07:51] <VanessaE> so for example, if you call up a 300 MB image file in The GIMP, you'll see the cache empty out and most of it will go to that program

[07:52] <dougie> woot xchat
[07:52] <Mathersen> Have following problem: Each time i run a 3D application, my pc freezes. I am using a Radeon 9600 card. ANy ideas?
[07:53] <uber_newb> is there an amd64 ubuntu irc
[07:53] <dougie> wow 137 updates availible...this could take a while
[07:53] <Mathersen> I solved this problem once adding a AGP mode "something" but i lost the paper i wrote it down.
[07:53] <omeil> crossover runs WoW better than wine people :)
[07:53] <tehchieftain> crossover
[07:53] <tehchieftain> wow?
[07:53] <tehchieftain> detail, now, links now give.
[07:53] <dougie> world of warcraft
[07:53] <tehchieftain> i know what it is
[07:53] <dougie> lol
[07:53] <tehchieftain> i was all hesitant about installing ubuntu, because of my wow stuff
[07:53] <arrenlex> tehchieftain: crossover = wine + hacks + $40
[07:53] <tehchieftain> but somoene mentioned it was possible to run it on linux
[07:53] <[vali] > omg... i cant paste XDD
[07:53] <dougie> yeah i would like to to see this too
[07:54] <omegacenti> [vali] : hehehe.
[07:54] <omeil> chief it is possible
[07:54] <VanessaE> you generally don't need to pay much attention to how much memory appears to be in use until you start getting to 100-200 MB more than your physical RAM (or more, depending on how you use your machine)
[07:54] <tehchieftain>  my usb slot wont detect my wireless mouse adaptor after i boot, only works if i boot with it plugged in, anyone know how to fix?
[07:54] <jhornick> wine does run wow last time I checked, but that was before BC
[07:54] <tehchieftain> orly
[07:54] <omeil> you need to pay for crossover tho. but wine is free and runs WoW pretty good.
[07:54] <VanessaE> e.g. if you're using lots of swap, and the machine thrashes too much, THEN you need to worry about RAM usage.  Otherwise, just ignore it :)
[07:54] <sontek> what does it mean if my installation is doing: hda: DMA timeout retry, hda: timeout waiting for DMA, hda: status timeout: status 0xd0 { busy }
[07:54] <dougie> how hard is it to setup?
[07:54] <sontek> if I wait long enough it works

[07:55] <dougie> last time i used wine i got the install screen to work for quake 3 and thats about it
[07:55] <VanessaE> sontek: old bug in the IDE driver
[07:55] <[vali] > omegacenti: write down this in a file -> http://paste-bin.com/5023
[07:55] <sontek> VanessaE: no its not an error?
[07:55] <beg1689> why would you playe quake 3 in wine?
[07:55] <VanessaE> nope
[07:55] <sontek> VanessaE: so. its not an error?*
[07:55] <jhornick> dougie: when I just copied the wow client off my windows box, and just ran under wine. I can't comment on the install under wine though
[07:55] <sontek> ok, thanks
[07:55] <beg1689> quake3 is native
[07:55] <[vali] > then chmod it 755
[07:55] <VanessaE> I've had perfectly good drives do that on perfectly good hardware
[07:56] <dougie> this was a long time ago
[07:56] <VanessaE> it's been that way since kernel 2.4.17 or something like that
[07:56] <beg1689> wow install on wine works perfect
[07:56] <tehchieftain> problem is, i dont have my wow cds anymore.
[07:56] <sontek> VanessaE: well its doing it for my cdrom, the drive itself is sda
[07:56] <dougie> how much tinkering does it take to get to run under wine?
[07:56] <omegacenti> [vali] : one sec while I figure out how to
[07:56] <beg1689> also you mentioned something i like about blizzards games, you can just copy the install directory anywhere and it works fine
[07:56] <VanessaE> odd
[07:56] <beg1689> to get what to run under wine?
[07:56] <VanessaE> afaik it's still just that old bug though
[07:57] <dougie> WoW
[07:57] <beg1689> none
[07:57] <[vali] > omegacenti: open gedit, save it, and change permissions to make it executable
[07:57] <b0b> I fixed my xserver and got my nvidia drivers to work with 3d acceleration
[07:57] <dougie> well i'll have to get that working then i suppose
[07:57] <beg1689> yay
[07:57] <omegacenti> [vali] : I think I changed its permissions, but how do I check?
[07:58] <beg1689> just check appdb
[07:58] <jhornick> vali: are you setting it up with the 1920x1440 resoultion?
[07:58] <Znuff> Hello. I seem to have some problems on Ubuntu Edgy related to Xgl. I've got Direct Renderign active in Xorg, but I can't make it work under Xgl. Can't figure out why. I've got an nVidia video card.
[07:58] <beg1689> tells you anything you might come accross
[07:58] <dougie> man...1 hour 16 min left of updateing....
[07:58] <beg1689> oh that reminds me, im using winblows right now cuase my linux just crapped out
[07:58] <[vali] > jhornick: no... the program should change that to 800x600x24
[07:58] <b0b> has anybody played that boson game
[07:58] <arrenlex> Znuff: If you have an nvidia card, why are you trying to use xgl?
[07:58] <beg1689> all the sudden the x server wont start anymore
[07:58] <beg1689> no changes, just wont start
[07:58] <beg1689> says no screens found
[07:58] <panfist> anyone familiar with the bcm43xx-fwcutter utility?
[07:58] <[vali] > omegacenti: open a term, then ls -l
[07:59] <omegacenti> -rwxr-xr-x
[07:59] <jhornick> vali: k since I have i910 on my laptop and was wondering if you had the massive resoultion magic =D
[07:59] <omeil> dougie: you got hit by those 13* updates?
[07:59] <Znuff> arrenlex, because it doesn't say anything about nvidia and xgl on the wiki?
[07:59] <arrenlex> Znuff: nvidia->aiglx
[07:59] <[vali] > omegacenti: ok... now copy it to /etc/init.d
[07:59] <omeil> b0b: Bonson?
[07:59] <omegacenti> one sec.
[07:59] <dougie> beg go into single user mode and run the xorg config
[07:59] <phil151> how do you get panel themes using beryl?
[07:59] <Znuff> o.O
[07:59] <dougie> omeil yea 137
[07:59] <arrenlex> Znuff: Well, I mean, I don't know for certain that you CAN'T use xgl, but why? aiglx is better and easier to set up.
[07:59] <b0b> no boson
[08:00] <Znuff> arrenlex, well, then thanks for the tip, I'll try to see
[08:00] <arrenlex> Znuff: I assume you're trying to run compiz or beryl?
[08:00] <Znuff> arrenlex, beryl
[08:00] <b0b> it is supposed to be like command and conquer
[08:00] <[vali] > jhornick: i dont even have a laptop :(
[08:00] <arrenlex> Znuff: apt-get install beryl. It'll run like a dream.
[08:00] <omeil> dougie: i didn't get all of them tho. i think it was like 40-45 meg of them where for openoffice so i unticked them lol :D
[08:00] <omegacenti> [vali] : Done.
[08:00] <omeil> whats beryl?
[08:00] <Znuff> arrenlex, and it will setup aiglx too?
[08:00] <jhornick> vali: I know but he has the same drivers and I was just asking, you may continue
[08:00] <[vali] > omegacenti: check permissions again...
[08:01] <Znuff> omeil, composite manager, like compiz
[08:01] <arrenlex> Znuff: aiglx is part of ubuntu now.
[08:01] <omegacenti> one sec.
[08:01] <Znuff> oki doki, thanks for the tips, I'll be back if I screw up
[08:01] <omegacenti> -rwxr-xr-x
[08:01] <omeil> oh ok. just got ubotu to msg me the info :)
[08:01] <arrenlex> Znuff: Make sure to go back to plain X. Get out of xgl.
[08:01] <Znuff> arrenlex, will do that, sure :)
[08:01] <Mathersen> Has nobody any idea what can i do?
[08:01] <TheMonkeyMoo> znuff: I got beryl running great on my laptop with an Nvidia 7300 after using automatix for the latest nvidia drivers (although imo envy works better for that) and just installing beryl.
[08:02] <omegacenti> [vali] : -rwxr-xr-x
[08:02] <[vali] > right... can you tell me the numbers in /etc/rc2.d/S##gdm ? (im with kubuntu right now
[08:02] <dougie> omeil: eh it wont take that long might as well let them go lol
[08:02] <panfist> is there a way to disable/re-enable my wireless NIC like you can in windows? i have to reboot several times in order to get full speed from wireless nic, most of the time it's just 1mb/s, when it should be 11mb/s, always full speed in windows
[08:02] <jhornick> panfist: ifup / ifdown <interface>
[08:02] <sontek> Hmm.. My installation is freezing on bootstrap.    Mar 1 20:21:55 debootstrap: setting up ubuntu-minimal (1.30) ...   and I let it sit at that point for 3 days and it didn't finish.   Anyone know what could cause that?
[08:02] <omeil> dougie: meh lol :) screw those updates :D
[08:02] <Znuff> uh, forgot to add beryl repos -_-
[08:02] <rbil> The MonekyMoo: from what I could determine, at least with automatix2 bleeder, it uses the envy script to install the drivers
[08:03] <omegacenti> [vali] : gedit /etc/rc2.d/S##gdm did not work too well.
[08:03] <skoenman> hey all
[08:03] <[vali] > omegacenti: no, no no... just "ls /etc/rc2.d | grep gdm"
[08:03] <TheMonkeyMoo> rbil: I was unaware of that. I used automatix on my laptop and then I found out about envy so I used envy on my desktop and that latter seemed to work faster
[08:03] <nonickforme> what would i use in ubuntu rather than chkconfig?
[08:04] <arrenlex> [vali] : Are you trying to add a bootscript?! XD
[08:04] <omegacenti> [vali] :  S13gdm
[08:04] <rbil> TheMonkeyMoo: well, I never did install envy, but found it here after running automatix :-)
[08:04] <omegacenti> no idea what that means.
[08:04] <[vali] > arrenlex: that weird program must be run before X... so before gdm
[08:04] <arrenlex> [vali] : You put it in /etc/init.d and then run update-rc.d [scriptname]  defaults
[08:05] <arrenlex> [vali] : Honestly. xD
[08:05] <rbil> TheMonkeyMoo: to confirm, on your laptop do ... locate envy .. and see whether it's there
[08:05] <arrenlex> [vali] : http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/28
[08:05] <phil151> how do you get panel themes using beryl?
[08:05] <TheMonkeyMoo> rbil: that's a good idea; one sec
[08:05] <skoenman> is there anybody who can maybe help me i need some help on setting up a raid server ??? Is it possable to install raid from the server setup???
[08:05] <alex__> does any know how can i make a first generation ipod display album art?
[08:05] <[vali] > arrenlex: i know, i know... but it not my pc.

[08:06] <john> how can I install streamripper with apt-get?
[08:06] <arrenlex> omegacenti: So did [vali]  help you get it working?
[08:06] <dougie> is there a program thats simaler to netstumbler for linux?
[08:06] <skoenman> hmm so many questions so little answers
[08:06] <omegacenti> arrenlex: [vali]  is working on it right now.
[08:06] <[vali] > omegacenti: ok... whats the name of your script ?
[08:06] <omegacenti> step1
[08:07] <john> what do I need to add to my /etc/apt/sources.list  to be able to install streamripper with apt-get?
[08:07] <arrenlex> john: universe
[08:07] <omegacenti> [vali] : step1
[08:07] <[vali] > ok... then use "sudo update-rc.d step1 start 10 2"
[08:07] <omegacenti> alright
[08:08] <TheMonkeyMoo> rbil: either I do not have envy installed or it is hiding.
[08:08] <omegacenti> [vali] : update-rc.d: error: expected runlevel [0-9S]  (did you forget "." ?
[08:08] <[vali] > that will make a symbolik link to launch the script befor gdm starts, doing the trick (i guess)
[08:08] <rbil> TheMonkeyMoo: maybe it only comes with automatix2 bleeder?
[08:08] <skoenman> is there anybody who can maybe help me i need some help on setting up a raid server ??? Is it possable to install raid from the server setup???
[08:09] <TheMonkeyMoo> rbil: maybe, I have automatix2 installed, not bleeder
[08:09] <omegacenti> [vali] : update-rc.d: error: expected runlevel [0-9S]  (did you forget "." ?
[08:09] <[vali] > omegacenti: yes, i forgot a . XD
[08:09] <[vali] > "sudo update-rc.d step1 start 10 2 ."
[08:10] <omegacenti> [vali] : Done.
[08:10] <els> Home and my data are seperate from my root partition.  If I do a fresh install, but only format my root partition will I have to reinstall drivers and codecs?
[08:10] <omegacenti> even though I have no idea what just happened.
[08:10] <rbil> els: yes, as those aren't installed in your home directory
[08:10] <[vali] > ok... lets check tha a symbolic link was made... "ls -l /etc/rc2.d | grep step"
[08:11] <omegacenti> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  15 2007-03-07 01:09 S10step1 -> ../init.d/step1
[08:11] <els> Ok great, but the settings for my desktop and various programs will be stored correct?
[08:11] <skoenman> has anybody installed a raid system before with raid 1 ????
[08:11] <rbil> els: should be
[08:11] <TraceGreen> hello, are there any tools to test hardware in linux? such as harddisk, memory, video card etc.
[08:12] <els> rbil: thanks
[08:12] <[vali] > ok... now lets change the xorg conf. Edit the file and use default depth of 24 and resolution of 800x600 with 24 bits (change 16 with 24 :P)
[08:12] <omegacenti> [vali] : lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  15 2007-03-07 01:09 S10step1 -> ../init.d/step1
[08:12] <skoenman> yeah use ubcd TraceGreen
[08:12] <skoenman> it works like a bomb you boot from it
[08:13] <omegacenti> Done.
[08:13] <TraceGreen> skoenman, Ultimate Boot CD? let me look at it, thanks!
[08:13] <skoenman> it uses the tools from seagate and if it says its faulty it is
[08:13] <rbil> TraceGreen: when you're booting Ubuntu, hit esc when it starts booting up so you get at the Grub menu, then you can select to run memtest to test your memory
[08:13] <[vali] > pray a bit and reboot XD
[08:13] <dougie> ok i'm back my son was crying so does anyone know of a program simaler to netstumbler for linux?
[08:13] <skoenman> yeah
[08:13] <skoenman> thats the one
[08:13] <john> what do I need to add to my /etc/apt/sources.list  to be able to install streamripper with apt-get?
[08:13] <omegacenti> [vali] : Is it possible that the "x" between 800 and 600 should be capitalized?
[08:13] <[vali] > omegacenti: no
[08:13] <omegacenti> k
[08:13] <omegacenti> restarting.
[08:14] <TraceGreen> rbil, so, thanks. and what about harddisk?
[08:14] <arrenlex> [vali] : You do realise that if it doesn't work when you run it from the command line, it won't work if you try to run from a boot script for the same reason, right? xD
[08:14] <skoenman> dougie i know there is let me have a look
[08:14] <dougie> skoenman: thankyou!
[08:14] <[vali] > arrenlex: yes... but the only way it works is running it before X starts... no other way :(
[08:15] <TraceGreen> skoenman, ubck base on windows, right?
[08:15] <arrenlex> [vali] : Oh... hm... I guess I set it up on my laptop before I installed a display manager, which is why it worked. Good luck, then...
[08:15] <skoenman> no its self bootable progs
[08:16] <skoenman> some run on linux some on freedos
[08:16] <TraceGreen> skoenman, thanks!
[08:16] <sontek> anyone have ideas why an installation of ubuntu-minimal would lock up on setting up ubuntu-minimal (1.30) ...
[08:16] <skoenman> its a iso i always use it to scan my hardware and i use it to write my fault report
[08:17] <l2s> Anyone know how to disable all edgy power mgt features from the command line
[08:17] <skoenman> i would go as far as to say it gets 99% of the problems the other 1% is software
[08:17] <l2s> espcially nic cards that goto sleep
[08:17] <rbil> TraceGreen: what do you want to check on the harddisk? look at ... man hdparm   man fsck   man fdisk
[08:17] <TraceGreen> rbil, thanks!
[08:18] <skoenman> remember that only checks for hardware defecs
[08:18] <[vali] > here he is !
[08:18] <omegacenti> [vali] : With bad news
[08:18] <skoenman> dougie try amarok
[08:18] <skoenman> i think
[08:18] <l2s> can someone help?
[08:18] <dougie> skoenman: apt-get install amarok?
[08:19] <skoenman> yeah try that
[08:19] <[vali] > damn... sorry then
[08:19] <skoenman> or you can just do a search in google
[08:19] <LordLimecat> anyone use gnump3d?
[08:19] <omegacenti> Oh well.. which one did we use? which mode?
[08:20] <kidbuntu> On what folder I can find the cookies of firefox?
[08:20] <LordLimecat> anyone generally good at troubleshooting want to help me with a startup issue with gnump3d?
[08:20] <omegacenti> [vali] : Sorry, which mode was that?
[08:20] <dougie>  skoenman: i see a lot of Amarok music player
[08:21] <skoenman> hmm no
[08:21] <kidbuntu> !cookies] 
[08:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cookies]  - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:21] <kidbuntu> !cookies
[08:21] <skoenman> wait
[08:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cookies - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:21] <[vali] > we overwrite 1920x1440x32 to add 800x600x24
[08:21] <dougie> lol yeah its a music manager
[08:22] <omegacenti> [vali] : and what did the script do, or was that it
[08:22] <arrenlex> [vali] : 32 == 24.
[08:22] <omegacenti> I'm gonna try something real quick.
[08:22] <l2s> any guru know a command line way to disable all power management
[08:23] <arrenlex> [vali] : The extra bits are transparency nothing actually uses anyway.
[08:23] <skoenman> i use to have a lot of progs on my laptop but i reloaded so yeah i have to try and remember them
[08:23] <VonFluffy> anyone know how to prevent xscreensaver starting when playing a movie in gxine ?
[08:23] <[vali] > i know, i know... but that didnt work either. Once i had a card who didnt work with 32, only with 24 (and old Savage4, i guess)

[08:24] <arrenlex> [vali] : Somewhere, in some config, there is buried Option "Works" "false" :(
[08:25] <[vali] > omegacenti: that script changes one resolution (with 32 bpp) with another (different and 24bpp). It must be run before the X starts (gdm in this case) and thats why we need a script at startup
[08:25] <dougie> iwlist sounds about right

[08:26] <X704> Hi
[08:26] <absolutarisch> HI
[08:26] <absolutarisch> HOW ARE???
[08:26] <X704> oww, me ears
[08:27] <[vali] > if it was a CRT i will probably blame the refresh... but in a flat pannel i should be the graphic card :(
[08:27] <dougie> ok i don't think iwlist will do what i want
[08:27] <X704> DON"T TALK SO LOUD, please? lol
[08:27] <scv> ...
[08:27] <X704> ...
[08:27] <skoenman> hmm you want to be able to crack wep keys???
[08:28] <absolutarisch> illegal
[08:28] <X704> not really
[08:28] <absolutarisch> no illgela talk
[08:28] <dougie> lol no
[08:28] <shatrat> its not illegal
[08:28] <absolutarisch> hacking is illegal
[08:28] <dougie> just scan for networks
[08:28] <absolutarisch> hacking is illegal
[08:28] <X704> I meant I don't really want to
[08:28] <absolutarisch> dont do that
[08:28] <X704> lol
[08:28] <absolutarisch> that sucks
[08:28] <scv> skoenman: join the FON members

[08:28] <dougie> will it scan for networks?
[08:28] <X704> do it on your own stuff if you HAVE to do it
[08:29] <shatrat> dougie, I haven't actually used it, no laptop
[08:29] <kraut> moin
[08:29] <skoenman> wat was the prog u used???
[08:29] <skoenman> airsnort???
[08:29] <dougie> airsnore i've heard of that
[08:29] <kidbuntu> How do you view the cookies of firefox?
[08:30] <skoenman> airsnort is your best bet if you dont have a broadcom or prism chipset
[08:30] <skoenman> otherwise you screwed
[08:30] <X704> anyway, how would I go about changing my rez to something higher than 1024x768?
[08:30] <dougie> why is it that you can only apt-get one thing at a time
[08:30] <skoenman> hmm
[08:31] <skoenman> put the progs next to eachother with spaces
[08:31] <skoenman> in between
[08:31] <scv> if he used a rare chip, can airsnort work?

[08:32] <shatrat> dougie, you cant have more than one program installing software at once
[08:32] <shatrat> dougie, you can use one program to install multiple packages

[08:32] <absolutarisch> a woman broke my heart today
[08:32] <skoenman> k is that what he meant
[08:32] <dougie> so if i apt-get -d then it will download and then apt-get install later
[08:32] <absolutarisch> i think im going to be gay
[08:32] <absolutarisch> anyone want to be my boyfriend? :)
[08:33] <skoenman> i think prism/intel/orinoco is supported in airsnort
[08:33] <skoenman> can go and have a look on the site
[08:33] <Symmetria> anyone here use pure-ftpd?
[08:33] <absolutarisch> come on guys
[08:33] <absolutarisch> stop talking about cracking
[08:33] <dougie> absolutarisch: sorry married and just had a baby
[08:33] <skoenman> airsnort is a scanning tool
[08:34] <skoenman> o yeah i remembered dougie
[08:34] <absolutarisch> had a baby?
[08:34] <skoenman> wifiradar was the other prog i used
[08:34] <dougie> he didn't say anything about cracking...we are looking for  a program to search for wireless networks and thats it
[08:34] <dougie> ok lemme look
[08:34] <absolutarisch> ok
[08:34] <absolutarisch> i thought you want to crack
[08:34] <skoenman> i know wifi radar works even on prism and broadcom
[08:35] <dougie> its an Intel Pro Wireless 2200
[08:35] <skoenman> cool then it should not give any hassels

[08:39] <riaal> Im in love whit Amarok, It owns iTunes!!
[08:39] <dougie> riaal: does it really?
[08:39] <shatrat> riaal, using "play" from the command line owns iTunes

[08:40] <LordLimecat> VLC plays anything, but does it have a media library?
[08:40] <drin> anyone know what i should search for, for troubleshooting?
[08:41] <shatrat> media libraries are for people who get lost in filesystems
[08:41] <LordLimecat> wmp is built in, it plays stuff, no crap is preloaded with it, and it has a library
[08:41] <LordLimecat> or who have 22 gigs of stuff to organize
[08:41] <LordLimecat> like me
[08:41] <dougie> your talking about windows apps lol....anything in linux is better cause its free and usually is much better and faster :)
[08:41] <shatrat> im up to around 140 gigs
[08:41] <shatrat> thank you usenet
[08:41] <LordLimecat> dougie--VLC works for the odd file or 2....
[08:41] <LordLimecat> but feed it a 100mb mp3 and see what happens
[08:41] <LordLimecat> you wont like it :D
[08:42] <LordLimecat> (ie, podcast)
[08:42] <dougie> usenet is expensive....the one i use is much cheaper..lol
[08:42] <TheMonkeyMoo> I've had good luck with rhythmbox
[08:42] <LordLimecat> amarok is nice, tho
[08:42] <[vali] > i really like a linux port of foobar :(
[08:42] <LordLimecat> if it didnt lock up my cpu -_-
[08:42] <shatrat> dougie, most broadband ISPs provide a usenet server
[08:42] <Symmetria> fuck finally have my root partition on my new system on a raid-1 mirror
[08:42] <TheMonkeyMoo> haven't tried any podcasts, though
[08:42] <LordLimecat> never got into foobar
[08:42] <Symmetria> what a mission
[08:42] <Symmetria> (solaris)
[08:42] <dougie> mine supposovly does but i can't figure out how to use it....they don't seem to list it anywhere
[08:43] <dougie> comcast...
[08:43] <mytruehero> is there an equivalent of ctrl + alt + delete in ubuntu? VMware keeps freezing my system, and I'm not sure how to get back without rebooting
[08:43] <LordLimecat> seriously, if yer gonna bash microsoft, dont bash their GOOD works
[08:43] <[vali] > LordLimecat: you need a bit of "tuning", but then is awesome
[08:43] <LordLimecat> wmp is one of their better accomplishments IMO
[08:43] <drin> mytruehero:  CTRL + ALT + Backspace
[08:43] <LordLimecat> along with excel and....er...
[08:43] <LordLimecat> yea
[08:43] <LordLimecat> thats it
[08:43] <shatrat> dougie, http://www.comcast.net/help/faq/index.jsp?faq=Newsgroups118224 just try reading around
[08:43] <LordLimecat> vali--you mean mysql?
[08:43] <LordLimecat> im gettin there slowly
[08:43] <[vali] > LordLimecat: well i really like the file explorer (please dont kill me)
[08:44] <LordLimecat> which, amarok?
[08:44] <LordLimecat> o.0
[08:44] <LordLimecat> its nice
[08:44] <[vali] > no, the windows file explorer is the only m$ thing i like
[08:44] <LordLimecat> i think theres some idea that windows is the enemy in people's eyes o.0
[08:44] <dougie> ...if only i knew the primary email address and pass now...lol
[08:44] <LordLimecat> its an alternative, and its competition, which is GOOOD
[08:44] <LordLimecat> competition has given us vista, which is forcing fiesty to include compiz
[08:44] <[vali] > i hate wmp XD
[08:45] <dougie> have to utfigure that o
[08:45] <dougie> have to figure that out*
[08:46] <phil151> how do you get panel themes using beryl?
[08:46] <LordLimecat> aaaah i cant figure kibadock out :(
[08:46] <shatrat> LordLimecat, are you kidding? compiz has been around much longer than aero.  There were some distros that included compiz by default even before vista came out
[08:46] <billy> should fstab read /dev/fd0 for the floppy disk drive?
[08:47] <LordLimecat> shatrat--from my understanding...
[08:47] <LordLimecat> the whole reason somethin like compiz will be INCLUDED BY DEFAULT in fiesty is to compete with aero
[08:47] <LordLimecat> regardless of who came first
[08:47] <Minibnz> hi all can anyone help me with Kannel?
[08:47] <shatrat> the ubuntu maintainers dont really care about competing with vista
[08:47] <LordLimecat> most users would never have seen compiz were it not for the whole vista/3d desktop craze, methinks
[08:47] <LordLimecat> want a link?
[08:47] <Minibnz> i need to fing out what the ERRNO's mean
[08:47] <LordLimecat> to shuttleworths blog?
[08:48] <LordLimecat> or maybe its the fiesty launchpad entry
[08:48] <LordLimecat> either way, the main reason given for including it was to compete with vista--to give users a reason to switch
[08:48] <billy> is /dev/fd0 the floppy drive?
[08:48] <omeil> has anyone been able to get cdemu to work with the nat scripts?
[08:48] <shatrat> billy, yes
[08:48] <Minibnz> billy: yes it is... the floppy drive
[08:49] <billy> shatrat, Minibnz: thank you.  for some reason fstab didn't have this default.  wonder why.
[08:49] <Minibnz> billy: you access the files thru /media/
[08:49] <[vali] > the reason is that for almost 50% of newcomers thats the first thing they try to install
[08:49] <omeil> if the floppy drive is mounted to that folder
[08:49] <shatrat> billy, because the drive isnt mounted, the disks in it are mounted when you put them in
[08:50] <LordLimecat> *cries*
[08:50] <LordLimecat> kiba is making fun of me
[08:50] <LordLimecat> why is it just a little...barber shop thing
[08:50] <TuTUx> LordLimecat, have you tried mplayer, it's a good alternative if you need a library
[08:50] <LordLimecat> i think i didnt like it
[08:50] <LordLimecat> amarok i like
[08:50] <LordLimecat> and for windows, when i use it, musiccube or wmp
[08:50] <billy> Minibnz: it displays empty.  that wuold be b/c fstab is incorrect, right?
[08:50] <LordLimecat> vlc when i just wanna play
[08:51] <[vali] > mplayer with a library? where? when? how?
[08:51] <[vali] > and... why?
[08:51] <dougie> 
[08:52] <LordLimecat> what i REALLY need is somethin to tag my files
[08:52] <LordLimecat> like the godfather for windows
[08:52] <clust> Hi, my keyboard sometimes stops to respond when I using firefox. After minimizing and maximazing the firefox window the keyboard starts to work again. Can anybody help me?
[08:52] <[vali] > LordLimecat: id3 only?
[08:52] <billy> Minibnz: /media/floppy0 reads blank even though there's a full disc in it.
[08:52] <LordLimecat> ANYTHIN
[08:52] <LordLimecat> somethin to bring order
[08:52] <omeil> has anyone tried tremulous?
[08:52] <Minibnz> billy: i get the same problem... sorry i am new to this as well...  you might still have to mount the dev... i will look into it for you...
[08:53] <LordLimecat> trem rocks :D
[08:53] <LordLimecat> painsaw ftw
[08:53] <omeil> im just downloading it now
[08:53] <billy> Minibnz: thanks.  if I can resolve, I'll post to you as well.
[08:53] <[vali] > LordLimecat: the best i found in linux is easytag and exfalso
[08:53] <LordLimecat> is that in default repos?
[08:53] <pastrami> hey guys, had a quick question, I just installed ubuntu and it asked me reboot ... I did but it didn't boot into ubuntu but instead into xp instead ... any suggestions?
[08:53] <Minibnz> billy: try issuing this command... sudo mount /dev/fd0
[08:53] <eden> I am having an ubuntu problem, can anyone help?
[08:53] <[vali] > multiverse i think
[08:53] <omeil> trem?
[08:54] <Minibnz> billy: then do a ls /media/floppy0
[08:54] <omeil> 85% :)
[08:54] <Minibnz> that will allow you to see the files..
[08:54] <billy> will do Minibnz.
[08:54] <LordLimecat> now heres the thing, vali
[08:54] <LordLimecat> godfather had mass-file tools
[08:54] <[vali] > in window$ i use the builtin foobar tagger
[08:54] <LordLimecat> like tagging every file in a directory with the directory name
[08:54] <Minibnz> billy; it worked for me if you have issues still then you fstab file is inccorrect
[08:54] <LordLimecat> can easytag do that?
[08:54] <LordLimecat> or is there somethin that can?
[08:54] <LordLimecat> cause manual editing would take forever
[08:55] <[vali] > ill check it
[08:55] <omeil> i need a faster internet connection -_-
[08:55] <Minibnz> billy: when you issue the mount command the disc should start to make noises... as it reads the structure
[08:55] <billy> Minibnz.  the darn thing isn't even plugged into a power sournce.  WTF.  brb.
[08:55] <Minibnz> omeil: so do i... i am on unwired i want Exetel..
[08:55] <LordLimecat> omeil--dialup should work for trem :D
[08:55] <Minibnz> that could be a casue billy
[08:55] <LordLimecat> it uses like 2K of bandwidth
[08:56] <Minibnz> i had that issue too...
[08:56] <omeil> na im on a 128kb ISDN
[08:56] <[vali] > LordLimecat: yes, it has a masstagger
[08:56] <LordLimecat> ISDN? o.0 never heard of ANYONE with that
[08:56] <omeil> can't get DSL here which sucks
[08:56] <LordLimecat> isnt that 2 56ks tied together
[08:56] <omeil> 2 64kb tied together
[08:56] <LordLimecat> close enough :D
[08:56] <Minibnz> omeil: i am on a 256k connection.... i drop packets like crazy until the clouds are above me...
[08:56] <omeil> they change the phone lines into digital which are 64kb a lil faster.
[08:56] <LordLimecat> ah
[08:57] <omeil> i was gonna get a 1.5mb conncetion
[08:57] <b0b> yeah ihave this so called cable internet service and all they offer is 256k
[08:57] <omeil> but gay ph company sucks
[08:57] <Minibnz> why didnt you?
[08:57] <LordLimecat> go for cable
[08:57] <LordLimecat> rawr
[08:57] <Minibnz> bob: thats not cable..

[08:57] <LordLimecat> cable company told me i was gonna get 15x5

[08:58] <eden> hey can someone help me with a Gnome problem in ubuntu?
[08:58] <LordLimecat> its teh upload that counts
[08:58] <Minibnz> but snapped out of it...
[08:58] <dougie> well 5Mb up should be good :)
[08:58] <dougie> 30Mb down will be nice too lol
[08:58] <LordLimecat> its NOT 5mb up, its 2
[08:58] <LordLimecat> they tricked me
[08:58] <dougie> no
[08:58] <LordLimecat> it was a dirty trick
[08:59] <dougie> the new connection i'll be getting soon
[08:59] <LordLimecat> AND theyre blockin pt 80
[08:59] <LordLimecat> o.0
[08:59] <LordLimecat> WHERE
[08:59] <dougie> its supposed to be in my neigborhood soon
[08:59] <LordLimecat> *must have*
[08:59] <TheMonkeyMoo> tehcheiftai1 you need to change the default depth in your xorg.config (I think that's the name, don't remember exactly)  file to 24
[08:59] <dougie> Verizon FiOS
[08:59] <Minibnz> lordlimecat: how do you function with out port 80?
[08:59] <LordLimecat> thought 15x5 was only business?
[08:59] <dougie> the package i want is like 30Mb down 5Mb up
[08:59] <LordLimecat> port 8888 -_-
[08:59] <billy> Minibnz, the dang thing wasn't even plugged in.  Works like a charm now.  Man do I feel like a big dummy.
[08:59] <dougie> they have different packages
[08:59] <Minibnz> k
[09:00] <LordLimecat> also, i hate web pages
[09:00] <tehchieftain> it is on 24.
[09:00] <dougie> it might be 3Mb up...thats still a lot better then what i've always had
[09:00] <LordLimecat> burn in hell, html
[09:00] <Minibnz> billy: i have asked worse questions..
[09:00] <Minibnz> we are nice ppl here...
[09:00] <tehchieftain> themonkeymoo, it is already on 24.
[09:00] <omeil> whats DoV?
[09:00] <billy> Minibnz, yes you are.  Good folks at ubuntu.  Much nicer than Sabayon Linux folks.
[09:00] <riaal> I can't open the terminal?? It just stalls for a while then closes again =((
[09:00] <LordLimecat> how do i change my refresh rates available?
[09:00] <dougie> the updates are almost done!!! i'm guessing i'll have to restart x or something when its done...
[09:00] <LordLimecat> its not in xorg
[09:01] <LordLimecat> and i need above 50hz
[09:01] <LordLimecat> -_-
[09:01] <omeil> yup dougie u do
[09:01] <Minibnz> lord: it should be i get teh option to set rate
[09:01] <dougie> run the xorg config and at the end go to advanced
[09:01] <riaal> is there any viruses for ubuntu?
[09:01] <dougie> and you can manually set your refresh rates
[09:01] <LordLimecat> probably
[09:01] <Minibnz> lord: maybe chooose the advanced option or medium
[09:01] <omeil> I think the refresh rate depends on what res u are on
[09:01] <billy> riaal, one time I heard of a guy intentionally running viruses with Wine.  that's about it.
[09:01] <LordLimecat> other res's DO let me go higher
[09:01] <omeil> oh yeah forgot about that ...Do i need a virus proggy for ubuntu?
[09:02] <LordLimecat> to a whopping 51 hz
[09:02] <[vali] > riaal: there is no viruses in the wild for any linux
[09:02] <TheMonkeyMoo> tehchieftain: hmm, that's the problem I had with mine; I found another solution by googling but it didn't work for me let me see if I can find it again
[09:02] <tehchieftain> thanks man
[09:02] <omeil> well UBUNTU FTW!!
[09:02] <dougie> omeil no worries about viruses
[09:02] <riaal> [vali] , great, no need for an extra firewall?
[09:02] <dougie> even osx has only had like 2 viruses in the past couple years for it and thats it
[09:02] <omeil> you have to reset dougie :P
[09:02] <dougie> yeah i know lol
[09:02] <billy> riaal, it's always a good idea to have a firewall.  use firestarter.
[09:02] <LordLimecat> there is no command starting with xo---
[09:03] <Minibnz> the osx viruii were only made as proof of concept..
[09:03] <LordLimecat> or xconfig
[09:03] <[vali] > extra? did you think 2 firewalls are better than one ?
[09:03] <LordLimecat> you mean nvidia-xconfig?
[09:03] <riaal> I can't turn off my computer!!!!! HELP
[09:03] <omeil> I don't think anything can effect the ubuntu system since the virus would require a password to copy files neways
[09:03] <LordLimecat> ctrl+alt+f5+del
[09:03] <billy> riaal, open a termal.  type sudo halt.
[09:03] <riaal> I can't use the menues and terminal wont open!!
[09:03] <billy> unplug the bastard.
[09:03] <riaal> :'(
[09:03] <eden> 2 firewalls are better then 1 if you are on one side and a fire is on the other...
[09:03] <LordLimecat> ctrl-alt-f5-delete will restart
[09:03] <Minibnz> lord: its a pkg reconfigure xserver-xorg.conf  or somehtin g similar
[09:03] <[vali] > the only way is using a xploit on a privileged server...
[09:03] <omeil> riall
[09:03] <meborc> riaal - hold down the power button for 4 sec
[09:04] <LordLimecat> meborc--thats the BAD shutdown
[09:04] <riaal> meborc, that going to kill the filesystem?
[09:04] <omeil> or just try ctrl-alt-delete. then click restart at the login window
[09:04] <LordLimecat> try switching to the other consoles
[09:04] <LordLimecat> to.0
[09:04] <riaal> LordLimecat,  yeh
[09:04] <Madpilot> riaal, Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to a text login. Ctrl+Alt+F7 will get you back to the graphical screen
[09:04] <[vali] > pull the plug
[09:04] <LordLimecat> ctrl+alt+f5+delete will restart
[09:04] <meborc> jeah... i know it is bad... but it seems there is no other way
[09:04] <LordLimecat> um, other consoles
[09:04] <LordLimecat> :D
[09:04] <omeil> sudo reboot at the console
[09:05] <Minibnz> riaal then use alt f# where the # is any tty upto 6
[09:05] <LordLimecat> (f8 works too)
[09:05] <Minibnz> i think that is the serial port or somthing
[09:05] <LordLimecat> o.0
[09:05] <meborc> Lord - your right ofcourse... ahh... i must get some sleep
[09:05] <meborc> :)
[09:05] <TheMonkeyMoo> tehcheiftan: ok, this may make your screen go all wonky but you can try: right-click on your beryl manager (little ruby in the system tray by the clock), go to advanced beryl options > rendering path > copy. when I tried it, my screen looked like it changed to a massively oversized resolution on a crt; I had to remember where the icon was weithout bveing able to see it to undo it (I couldn't find the config  file to repair it in termin
[09:05] <LordLimecat> :D
[09:05] <LordLimecat> the 4 finger salute!
[09:05] <BobZero> i need some help while installing openssh
[09:06] <LordLimecat> ctrl+alt+f5+del :D
[09:06] <Minibnz> lord: is your f8 option just a blank screen?
[09:06] <omglazers> !nvidia

[09:06] <LordLimecat> has stuff on it, but no login
[09:06] <LordLimecat> always assumed it was just goofing off behind my back
[09:06] <Minibnz> ahhh might be your serial port..
[09:06] <LordLimecat> has startup info
[09:06] <LordLimecat> serial pt is disabled
[09:06] <LordLimecat> bios

[09:06] <LordLimecat> as is printer, and all other crap i dont use
[09:06] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[09:07] <BobZero> ?
[09:07] <[vali] > i usually do a ctrl+alt+backspace and then ctrl+alt+supr (before xdm restarts)
[09:07] <Minibnz> i have a gsm modem connected to com0.. but nothing comes up on my screen...
[09:07] <omeil> limecate what did u mean before about trem only uses 2kb bwidth?
[09:07] <BobZero> nobody here who likes to help me?
[09:07] <LordLimecat> ctrl+alt+backspace hates me
[09:07] <LordLimecat> bob, speak up
[09:07] <LordLimecat> whats yer issue :D
[09:07] <Minibnz> lord: i will reboot and check my bios...
[09:07] <TheMonkeyMoo> tehcheiftain: I don't know then
[09:07] <BobZero> i starte installing
[09:07] <omeil> LordLimecat: ctrl+alt+backspace loves me :)
[09:07] <jack> anyone here had much experience with root on lvm with ubuntu?
[09:07] <BobZero> type ./configure
[09:07] <tehchieftain> anyone know why beryl isnt loading any window decorators?  when i load emerald as the decorator it just takes the borders off all my windows
[09:07] <TheMonkeyMoo> tehcheiftain: try changing it to automatic then
[09:08] <antihec_> BobZero: why don't you just install the ubuntu package?
[09:08] <BobZero> but i got the error "can't find recent openssl libcrpyto"
[09:08] <TheMonkeyMoo> tehcheiftain : and then reload the window decorator
[09:08] <LordLimecat> tehchieftain, make sure you installed all packages, you should also run "beryl-manager", NOT beryl, and reboot after the install
[09:08] <tehchieftain> nadda
[09:08] <jack> I have just upgraded to edgy but have not yet rebooted
[09:08] <[vali] > BobZero: what are you trying to do?
[09:08] <BobZero> ubuntu package?
[09:08] <tehchieftain> okay, ill be back, going to reboot.
[09:08] <jack> need to rebuild the initrd with lvm i think
[09:08] <BobZero> install openssh
[09:08] <LordLimecat> that issue with window borders isnt the decorator
[09:08] <jack> but don't know how
[09:09] <LordLimecat> its somethin else
[09:09] <antihec_> BobZero: there is an ubuntu package "ssh-server" that contains openssh.
[09:09] <Minibnz> bob: have you tried apt-get install openssh-server?
[09:09] <LordLimecat> generally occurs durin install somehow
[09:09] <Minibnz> i had to do manually
[09:09] <omeil> whats openssh?
[09:09] <antihec_> BobZero: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware
[09:09] <[vali] > BobZero: then you can use "apt-get install openssh-server" OR "aptitude install openssh-server" OR use synaptic
[09:09] <LordLimecat> i have teh coolest domain name evar
[09:09] <LordLimecat> limecat.homelinux.com:8888
[09:10] <BobZero> f***
[09:10] <Minibnz>  omeil: it lets you have a terminal on a remote box... makes the ubuntu think you are almost at the keyboard...
[09:10] <BobZero> it cant be as easy as it is
[09:10] <antihec_> BobZero: it is :)
[09:10] <[vali] > BobZero: yes, it is
[09:10] <Minibnz> really it is bob
[09:10] <Minibnz> i was stunned when flaccid set up for me
[09:10] <[vali] > wellcom to the wonderfull world of apt
[09:10] <Minibnz> apt-get rules...
[09:10] <LordLimecat> why is aptitude better than apt-get
[09:11] <Minibnz> umm i dunno
[09:11] <LordLimecat> iheard it was o.0
[09:11] <BobZero> since two days i got flying fingers hacking commands to the blinking cursor and the it is so easy?
[09:11] <Minibnz> different packages?
[09:11] <[vali] > i dont know... im still using dselect :P
[09:11] <LordLimecat> no, all packages the same
[09:11] <LordLimecat> syntax is same too
[09:11] <LordLimecat> but someone said aptitude was better somehow
[09:11] <BobZero> where i can get a list of all programms that are able to install this way
[09:11] <antihec_> LordLimecat: it's not "better" but has a few comfy features. pressing "r" to see reverse dependencies is useful sometimes.
[09:11] <b0b> I was stunned earlier when i actually got my nvidia  card to work earlier after i had been reading all kinds of issues about doing just that
[09:11] <LordLimecat> bob
[09:11] <meborc> it is easier to uninstall stuff you installed via aptitude
[09:11] <dougie> i've heard that emerge was better.....but i'm not sure...seems about the same to me
[09:12] <LordLimecat> open add-remove
[09:12] <LordLimecat> or synaptic
[09:12] <Minibnz> lord: i stand corrected... like i said earlier i am still new to this...
[09:12] <Minibnz> apt-get list
[09:12] <tehchieftain> didnt help =(
[09:12] <mneptok> dougie: emerge and apt* are vastly different
[09:12] <LordLimecat> someone asked me, "why cant i add ALL repositories that are out there to my sources.list
[09:12] <LordLimecat> "
[09:12] <dougie> ok i'll be back time for a reboot
[09:12] <LordLimecat> :D
[09:12] <LordLimecat> wouldnt that be great?
[09:12] <dougie> well emerge compiles stuff for the computer completely
[09:12] <[vali] > LordLimecat: it will be a pain for sure XD
[09:13] <LordLimecat> :D
[09:13] <LordLimecat> and then apt-get install *
[09:13] <LordLimecat> XD
[09:13] <b0b> for all of you newer to the linux community www.linuxquestions.org is an awesome resource
[09:13] <LordLimecat> google ftw
[09:13] <[vali] > a dependencies nightmare O_o
[09:13] <Minibnz> flaccid has pointed me to that page once or twice...
[09:13] <LordLimecat> vali--you could just dl all dependencies
[09:13] <LordLimecat> :D
[09:13] <dougie> but i mean they work pretty much the same...other then emerge takes FOREVER  anyways brb
[09:14] <BobZero> ok
[09:14] <Minibnz> mnoptok: heheheh
[09:14] <LordLimecat> hold on a sec, i wanna test somethin
[09:14] <BobZero> thx
[09:14] <tuxcrafter> hello guys how do i manually add a new network card to the configuration files?
[09:14] <Minibnz> bobZero is not b0b... sorry!!!
[09:14] <mneptok> tuxcrafter: why would you do that?
[09:14] <[vali] > LordLimecat: but sometimes a package want some "war" against another one :P
[09:15] <Minibnz> tuxcrafter: be carefull... my box freaks when i reboot... it keeps renaming ETH1
[09:15] <omeil> LordLimecat: does tremulous have any good servers?
[09:15] <[vali] > it happens with even the official ones
[09:15] <tuxcrafter> mneptok: because I added a new network card but to get it working i have to manually restart the network deamon so something in config files are wrong
[09:16] <antihec_> tuxcrafter: edit /etc/network/interfaces
[09:16] <LordLimecat> this will be funny
[09:16] <mneptok> tuxcrafter: /etc/network/interfaces should auto-populate at boot
[09:16] <LordLimecat> apt-get install a* e* i* o* u*
[09:16] <LordLimecat> :D
[09:16] <omeil> oh everyone :) Age Of Wonder runs good on Wine...if anyone knows what that game is :D
[09:16] <LordLimecat> ill let you know the size
[09:16] <antihec_> tuxcrafter: be sure do read "man interfaces"
[09:16] <Minibnz> lord: hheheh
[09:16] <LordLimecat> XD
[09:16] <LordLimecat> its still selecting packages
[09:16] <LordLimecat> :D
[09:16] <Gabz> !css
[09:16] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[09:16] <BobZero> can i dell the openssh and openssl folders
[09:16] <Gabz> !wine
[09:16] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[09:16] <nknwd> hello all. i'm currently logged in with user X and running KDE. In a terminal, i've SU to use Y. Now, HOW do i run a graphical application as user Y in user X's KDE without getting an error about no screens found or something?
[09:17] <omeil> Jesus something is wrong with ubuntu and my Vid card glxgears is running at like 2 fps
[09:17] <[vali] > BobZero: the sources you downloaded ?
[09:17] <antihec_> BobZero: the source you downloaded? you don't need that.
[09:17] <tuxcrafter> antihec_: mneptok i changed that file but it was not enough the network card will not connect automatic at booting
[09:17] <BobZero> i created them while trying installing ssh
[09:17] <LordLimecat> :( it wont let me do that install
[09:17] <LordLimecat> everything conflicts :(
[09:17] <Minibnz> bobzero: i am not sure... i just use it for remote help... and so i dont have to move to the ubuntu box...
[09:17] <Gabz> nknwd: export display:0 should fix that i think
[09:17] <dougie> hmm now to find wifi radar on apt-get....how exactly do you search for packages on apt-get?
[09:17] <omeil>  sudo apt-get install beryl?
[09:17] <[vali] > you can delete it safely
[09:17] <BobZero> yes the source and the folders it created while tar
[09:17] <mneptok> tuxcrafter: /etc/network/interfaces should auto-populate at boot. *auto poulate*. you shouldn't have te edit anything.
[09:18] <omeil> Is this right ?  sudo apt-get install beryl?
[09:18] <BobZero> k
[09:18] <mneptok> omeil: don't
[09:18] <antihec_> mneptok: at boot? not at install? are you sure?
[09:18] <nknwd> Gabz how ?
[09:18] <LordLimecat> omeil: dont do it commandline
[09:18] <[vali] > mneptok: what populates it?
[09:18] <LordLimecat> use synaptic
[09:18] <tuxcrafter> mneptok: if i change something in that file it will stay changed after rebooting!
[09:18] <LordLimecat> and search for beryl
[09:18] <omeil> oh ok
[09:18] <LordLimecat> that way you get all the packages
[09:18] <omeil> thx
[09:18] <BobZero> ok theres a nother question now
[09:18] <mneptok> tuxcrafter: yup. but it's better to let the init scripts do the first edit.
[09:18] <Minibnz> dougie apt-get list |grep "seach field" change search filed for your string to search
[09:18] <LordLimecat> you want beryl, beryl-manager
[09:18] <BobZero> lamp is installed
[09:19] <BobZero> how i can configure the ftp
[09:19] <shatrat> if you have the beryl repo installed "sudo apt-get install beryl emerald-themes" will install all the packages.
[09:19] <Gabz> nknwd: in terminal try. export DISPLAY=:0.0 then run your app
[09:19] <tuxcrafter> mneptok: oke how do i say that eth1 is know the default adapter and eth0 is gone
[09:19] <omeil> i searched for beryl and found nothing
[09:19] <mneptok> tuxcrafter: how do you know eth0 is gone?
[09:19] <tuxcrafter> mneptok: i disabled it in the bios
[09:19] <nknwd> Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
[09:19] <nknwd> Xlib: No protocol specified
[09:20] <nknwd> Gabz nope :)
[09:20] <skoenman> could someone please msg me to help with a raid setup????
[09:20] <shatrat> omeil, make sure you've followed the how-to, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BerylOnEdgy,   "sudo apt-get install beryl emerald-themes"
[09:20] <mneptok> tuxcrafter: maybe the new card got assigned the eth0 name when the BIOS disabled the other?
[09:20] <tehchieftain> okay, its not just emerald that isnt loading
[09:20] <Gabz> nknwd:  error ?
[09:20] <tuxcrafter> mneptok: and the ifconfig tool will only connect the eth1 card
[09:20] <Rebecca> is it possible to restart my usb modules/system? even lsusb locks up
[09:20] <mneptok> tuxcrafter: this is why you let Linux populate this file, rather than guess. ;)
[09:20] <tehchieftain> also tried heliodor and it didnt load that either, still no borders.
[09:21] <tuxcrafter> mneptok: if i leave the interface card the way it was it still do not work
[09:21] <LordLimecat> tehchieftain
[09:21] <Minibnz> bobzero: i cant help with ftp i havent done this yet...CAN any one help bobzero with FTP
[09:21] <LordLimecat> how are you running beryl
[09:21] <tuxcrafter> so how to fix it
[09:21] <shatrat> tehchieftai1, are you using nvidia?
[09:21] <antihec_> BobZero: you want an ftp server? there are many. I like vsftpd. "apt-get install vsftpd" and read docs in /usr/share/doc/vsftpd
[09:21] <tehchieftai1> yes
[09:21] <nknwd> Gabz :
[09:21] <nknwd> Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
[09:21] <shatrat> tehchieftai1, have you run "sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals"?
[09:21] <mneptok> tuxcrafter: you can comment out eth0 if you want, and add the appropriate auto info to eth1's entry
[09:21] <tuxcrafter> mneptok: i did that but it does not work
[09:21] <bu2> how do you delete a directory using the command line?
[09:21] <skoenman> anybody???
[09:21] <nknwd> i've used kdesu -u user-X -c application and it works :)
[09:21] <shatrat> bu2, rm -r directory
[09:21] <mneptok> tuxcrafter: pastebin it
[09:21] <Minibnz> sudo rm ?
[09:22] <bu2> thanks
[09:22] <tehchieftai1> no
[09:22] <tehchieftai1> i dont think so
[09:22] <shatrat> tehchieftai1, you need alpha red green blue visuals to draw the beryl window trim, sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals
[09:22] <shatrat> tehchieftai1, then restart X
[09:22] <tehchieftai1> what do you mean by restarting x
[09:22] <tehchieftai1> im new...
[09:22] <shatrat> tehchieftai1, ctrl alt backspace
[09:22] <Gabz> nknwd: yeah i remeber this one i can't remeber the solution sorry it worked for me in debain but not ubuntu so i assume i changed a setting somwhere
[09:23] <mid_night> hi, can somebody help with my graphich card unichrome?
[09:23] <tehchieftai1> oh okay, i know that
[09:23] <tuxcrafter> mneptok: this is how it is now :http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9059/ and this is what is was: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9060/
[09:23] <tuxcrafter> mneptok: boot do not work
[09:23] <LordLimecat> shatrat, when i ctrlalt backspace, and login, the loading window does not appear and desktop never fully loads
[09:23] <mid_night> i have U 6.10, notebook fujitsu-siemens v2030
[09:23] <LordLimecat> any idea why that might occur
[09:23] <tehchieftain> okay time to try it out again
[09:23] <tuxcrafter> mneptok: i have to do sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart to get my netwerk up
[09:23] <mid_night> i installes driver https://help.ubuntu.com/community/openchrome
[09:24] <tehchieftain> still no borders
[09:24] <shatrat> LordLimecat, that happens sometimes when there is an app using X that doesnt die properly when you restart X, works when I do a full reboot
[09:24] <mid_night> and, now i have problem with console
[09:24] <LordLimecat> tehchieftain: how are you starting beryl
[09:24] <Minibnz> tuxcrafter: cant you do a ifconfig eth1 up | down?
[09:24] <mneptok> tuxcrafter: what kind of card is eth1?
[09:24] <tehchieftain> beryl-manager
[09:24] <LordLimecat> how did you install your drivers
[09:25] <tehchieftain> not sure, my brother did that for me
[09:25] <tuxcrafter> mneptok: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9061/
[09:25] <bu2> If I have a directory with stuff in it and I want to change the files name do I use the mv command? or will that overwrite the stuff in the directory?
[09:25] <James_Bowery> when i upgrade from 6.06 to 6.10 it rebooted to a page that had Ubuntu on it in a funky grey -- and froze there.  same thing happened when i burned a CD image to install it.  its a ASUS M2NPV-VM motherboard with AMD64 4600+ (which has builtin nvidia).  worked fine on 6.06
[09:25] <LordLimecat> sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
[09:25] <LordLimecat> sudo gedit /ect/X11/xorg.conf
[09:25] <mid_night> i installed drivers form this solution https://help.ubuntu.com/community/openchrome
[09:25] <b0b> hey what is eryl and how do i get it i tried the apt-get install thing and it did not work
[09:25] <LordLimecat> run those
[09:25] <b0b> beryl
[09:25] <LordLimecat> and scroll down to the second last section of the xorg file
[09:26] <mid_night> now my console ctrl alt f1 is split in half :/
[09:26] <comp_> can I ask for help here?

[09:26] <comp_> apt-get install beryl
[09:26] <tehchieftain> this file is blank
[09:26] <Minibnz> comp_: yes as long as you dont ask for permission :)
[09:26] <LordLimecat> xorg.conf is BLANK?
[09:26] <comp_> lol
[09:26] <shatrat> you shouldnt use sudo with graphical apps, it can hose lots of fun things.  gksudo gedit is safer
[09:26] <comp_> i was trying to change my cursors
[09:26] <tehchieftain> wait
[09:26] <tehchieftain> one sec
[09:26] <comp_> then everything disappeared

[09:27] <LordLimecat> under driver, does it say nvidia or nv
[09:27] <BobZero> i dont need an ftp-server
[09:27] <BobZero> i got installed lampp

[09:37] <LordLimecat> or, you could install compiz and ITS decorator right alongside beryl
[09:38] <LordLimecat> that works pretty well
[09:38] <LordLimecat> if one dont work, you can ues the other
[09:38] <igge> or not a script.. a program actually
[09:38] <LordLimecat> i thought you just pasted links into rc.ds?
[09:39] <LordLimecat> to run the binaries?
[09:39] <tuxcrafter> mneptok: i will reboot again
[09:39] <nalpha> guys.. quick question how to delete folder in console "linux command) without deleting the folder self..like if I want to delete entire folder i just do "sudo rm -R foldername"?? anyone can help me?

[10:05] <BobZero> for uploading and downloading files?
[10:05] <Gabz> DeVhuRR: is that for lo or eth0 ?
[10:05] <mneptok> BobZero: this is 2007. no one except public servers should be using ftp.

The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot
[10:05] <mneptok> BobZero: use scp/sftp
[10:05] <BobZero> ?
[10:06] <BobZero> i dont understand?
[10:06] <mneptok> want help?
[10:06] <DeVhuRR> Um it says

[10:20] <[vali] > lowercase

[10:25] <babo> s/edgy/feisty/
[10:26] <[vali] > feisty is unstable... wait a couple of months
[10:26] <Robinsjostrom> can i try to install ati drivers and see if it works on the live cd? or do i have to do an ubuntu install first?
[10:27] <babo> [vali] : right, so how is django in the repos then ?
[10:27] <finalbeta> You can do it on the live cd
[10:27] <[vali] > take a look... packages.ubuntu.com
[10:27] <Gabz> DeVhuRR: which version of ubuntu did you install ?
[10:28] <DeVhuRR> How long does it usually take to format 50% of a 120GB hard drive? it's been formatting for the past 20 minutes
[10:28] <DeVhuRR> Ubuntu
[10:28] <babo> [vali] : can  I just enable feisty main and do an apt-get update no ?
[10:28] <babo> apt-cache update
[10:28] <finalbeta> DeVhuRR: not that long.
[10:28] <babo> [vali] : so django isn't in the ubuntu repos then ?
[10:29] <finalbeta> DeVhuRR: formatted 500gig to ext3 yesterday in 5 minutes
[10:29] <babo> unless you happen to be using feisty ....
[10:29] <[vali] > babo: uhmm... its a python package. You can try to install the feisty package
[10:29] <[vali] > get it from the url that i posted before
[10:29] <[vali] > babo: im using feisty, yes XD
[10:29] <babo> [vali] : k thanks. I think I'll stick to the tar ball...
[10:29] <Gabz> DeVhuRR: ubuntu which number ?
[10:30] <alliantdevil> speaking of formatting im having a bit of an issue with my data drive not mounting (ext3)
[10:30] <[vali] > babo: it will probably works... its not a compiled program
[10:30] <DeVhuRR> Oh newest release, 6.1 I believe
[10:31] <finalbeta> alliantdevil: mount it manually, see what error it gives, or do a fsck.ext3 on it right away.
[10:31] <alliantdevil> tried using the "sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hdd1 /media/data"
[10:31] <norty> can someone help me write some assembly code?
[10:31] <alliantdevil> that should work to mount it manually yes?
[10:31] <norty> i need something pretty simple but i have only 16 bytes to do it..
[10:32] <finalbeta> norty: just go to #asm
[10:33] <norty> thx
[10:33] <Gabz> DeVhuRR: your ethernet card should of automatically installed when you installed ubuntu i can't find any reason why it didn't sorry mate
[10:34] <DeVhuRR> oh well

[10:36] <MrKeuner> hi, is it possible to set power settings such that the lcd panel will be dimmed after a minute of idleness?
[10:36] <Latitude^> alliantdevil, you'd also need to edit your  etc/fstab
[10:36] <DeVhuRR> yea I've found a few "drivers" but they are non-existant once clicking on the links
[10:36] <Gabz> DeVhuRR: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsWiredNetworkCardsRealtek and ubuntu say it's supported
[10:36] <alliantdevil> Latitude^: yep ive done that

[10:37] <simontol> sorry
[10:37] <Latitude^> simontol, nope
[10:38] <OrTigaS> http://www.fugly.com/videos/7237/vista-vs-linux-ubuntu.html   <--- is this true
[10:39] <babo> mysql-python isn't in the repos either ?
[10:39] <babo> hmm
[10:39] <alliantdevil> its really kind of strange, it was a new drive that i formatted to ext3 using gparted
[10:39] <alliantdevil> edited fstab, and all that jazz but still nada
[10:40] <alliantdevil> i was kinda wondering what happened to the "disks" app that used to be in dapper but isnt in edgy?
[10:40] <DeVhuRR> are there terminal commands to manually change tcp/ip settings?
[10:41] <alliantdevil> that just seems like a strange thing to remove
[10:43] <watson540> I have had constant lockups sincei got this new laptop, tried every boot option i could. Well tonight i was playing around with some grub splashes and junk so i decided to switch framebuffer res. to 1024x768 by the line vga=791, ever since then i havent seen a lockup! -- does this sound reasonable that a gpu with shared memory might actually cause a lockup??
[10:43] <watson540> i never saw a lock in x only in console and a million times over while booting
[10:44] <Latitude^> alliantdevil, i was having a similar problem today. this helped: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountlinux
[10:45] <alliantdevil> Latitude^: i even went through that :(
[10:45] <Latitude^> what sort of problem are you having?
[10:46] <vilefridge> Quick linux question.  If I copy a file with certain permissions to a folder with different permissions on the reiserfs filesystem, or any other linux filesystem for that matter, the file will inherit the folder's permissions, correct, instead of retaining it's own?
[10:46] <alliantdevil> hell i even "unmounted" it revoed the fstab entry and reformatted the drive again to make sure
[10:46] <xelados> I have Windows XP installed onto a separate drive and want to add a menu entry to GRUB so I can boot to it. How can I do that?
[10:48] <MrKeuner> Mar  7 04:47:35 gnome-power-manager: Screen dim because idle mode started
[10:48] <MrKeuner> Mar  7 04:47:35 gnome-power-manager: Screen resume because idle mode ended
[10:48] <MrKeuner> why does this happen?
[10:49] <varkatope_> hi
[10:49] <mypapit> hi varkatope_!!
[10:50] <decoo> hi, maybe someone know why on xgl i have xv working, but on gnome is not working?
[10:54] <djbrown> morning
[10:54] <watson540> hello
[10:54] <watson540> its quiet in here
[10:54] <djbrown> anyone got experience setting up dual screens in ubuntu?
[10:54] <watson540> sorry
[10:54] <watson540> not me
[10:55] <gyaresu> djbrown: Have you installed your nvidia/ati driver yet?
[10:56] <djbrown> gyaresu: yes
[10:56] <gyaresu> djbrown: which one?
[10:56] <djbrown> durr
[10:57] <djbrown> the one from http://nvidia.limitless.lupine.me.uk/ubuntu
[10:58] <bullgard1> What is 'Avahi'? Synaptic: "a fully LGPL framework for Multicast DNS Service Discovery. It allows programs to publish and discover services and hosts running on a local network with no specific configuration." Why did Ubuntu install an Ethernet interface (eth1:avahi) on my computer?
[10:58] <gyaresu> djbrown: right so nvidia. Well have a look at mine as an example (keep in mind that it's been upgraded over the years so lots of random comments etc.) http://gyaresu.org/xorg.conf
[10:59] <gyaresu> bullgard1: That's odd.
[10:59] <djbrown> your using two screens from one card yes?
[10:59] <gyaresu> djbrown: Yes.
[10:59] <djbrown> im using two cards
[10:59] <djbrown> from what i read it should just be sufficient to do another device and monitor
[11:00] <djbrown> then just
[11:00] <djbrown> Screen         0 "Default Screen" 0 0
[11:00] <djbrown>     Screen         1 "Default Screen2" RightOf "Default Screen"
[11:00] <gyaresu> djbrown: Have a look at gentoo-wiki I have set up three monitors and that's where I found the best info (6 months ago)
[11:00] <djbrown> not getting anything on the second one though
[11:00] <djbrown> yeah i did it from the gentoo wiki thing
[11:01] <GodSyn> is there any advantage to having a seperate partition for /home (other than backup purposes)
[11:01] <yomm> I tried for a couple of days to setup 3 screens/2 cards , came close , but never got all three together ..
[11:01] <djbrown> you got one on each working?
[11:02] <gyaresu> djbrown: Not much changed then... Have you tried X11/xinerama forums/chat ? Someone must have some up to date info these days. It is extrememly cool afterall.
[11:03] <ubuntu_user7982> GodSyn: I do this so if I want to blat the distro I can without losing the data there.
[11:03] <djbrown> yomm: did you get one on each card working?
[11:03] <ubuntu_user7982> GodSyn: I was on mandrake a few yrs ago and moved to Ubuntu without losing /home makes much easier
[11:04] <GodSyn> ubuntu_user7982: thanks for the info. now for my issue :) #22 on grub. (was able to boot via the super grub cd)
[11:04] <yomm> djbrown :sry can't quite remember :/
[11:04] <djbrown> gyaresu: think you can look a my xorg.conf, see if you spot anything obvious im missing
[11:04] <GodSyn> (no such partition)
[11:05] <ubuntu_user7982> GodSyn: sorry I'm not a grub guru :(
[11:08] <yurimxpxma1> I have a few questions
[11:08] <yurimxpxma1> I am using xwinwrap to change my wallpaper to a screensaver and I it will only stay that way as long as I have the terminal opened
[11:09] <yurimxpxma1> how do I fix that so I can close the terminal and still have it work
[11:09] <ekul`> !fonts
[11:09] <ubotu> Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer
[11:10] <ubuntu_user7982> yurimxpxma1 stick "nohup" before the command
[11:10] <yurimxpxma1> !xwinwrap
[11:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xwinwrap - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:11] <MrKeuner> my computer does not enter the idle mode, what is the error log to start checking? syslog, and messages shows just two lines, time t entered idle mode , time t ended idle mode
[11:11] <yurimxpxma1> can someone help me with xwinwrap?
[11:11] <yurimxpxma1> I want to use it with the terminal closed
[11:11] <h1st0> yurimxpxma1: okay.
[11:11] <h1st0> yurimxpxma1: you need to make a script for it then and then just execute the script
[11:11] <djbrown> try "xwinwrap &"
[11:12] <yurimxpxma1> how do I go about doing that?
[11:12] <cwill1> apt via socks:  is there any way to do that?
[11:12] <kenthomson> I need some help regarding the linux-restricted-modules for the official nvidia drivers (not-the-ubuntu-supported-ones). I am trying to understand what happens when there is a l-r-module mismatch, and how to solve it. If someone know it, please tell me; i need to paste some stuff and than need a explanation (i have already found something that partially explains this). So i need someone to come-up, and talk separately to avoid flooding the channel
[11:13] <cwill1> kenthomson:  use a pastebin, and post the link
[11:13] <cwill1> !pastebin
[11:13] <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)
[11:13] <yurimxpxma1> is the script just what I would type in the terminal?
[11:13] <ubuntu_user7982> yurimxpxma1: try "nohup xwinrap &" then when you close the terminal it will not be closed also
[11:13] <yurimxpxma1> but will it be on when I reboot if I do that?
[11:13] <kenthomson> cwill1, do you know the answer you my question?
[11:14] <h1st0> yurimxpxma1: yes or you can put it in session to start it on boot.
[11:14] <djbrown> nice, got the second screen to start up
[11:14] <kenthomson> Can someone help me with the linux-restricted-modules question?
[11:14] <cwill1> kenthomson: can't say, but paste the text you have to a pastebin, and then re-ask giving that:  it's easier for people to help you that way
[11:14] <djbrown> i just cant click anything on it ;P
[11:14] <yurimxpxma1> h1sto, what do i put in the script?
[11:15] <h1st0> yurimxpxma1: what ever command you wan tot run.
[11:15] <yurimxpxma1> k
[11:15] <yurimxpxma1> I will give it a try
[11:15] <yurimxpxma1> thanx
[11:15] <nounours>  /msg nickserv link nounours 4irc
[11:15] <h1st0> yurimxpxma1: like xwinwrap -ni -argb -fs -s -st -sp -b -nf -o 0.3 -- /usr/lib/xscreensaver/glmatrix -window-id WID -delay 10000
[11:15] <systemd0wn_> haha
[11:15] <h1st0> yurimxpxma1: then you just make the file executable and put it in /usr/local/bin
[11:16] <kenthomson> Anyone?
[11:16] <norsetto>  /msg nickserv link nounours 4irc
[11:17] <Latitude^> is there way for windows to write on ext3?
[11:17] <h1st0> yurimxpxma1: then you could jsut hit alt+f2 and type the script name in.  Or you could put it in system > preferences > session to load on startup.
[11:17] <h1st0> Latitude^: yes
[11:17] <h1st0> Latitude^: there are ext3 file browsers
[11:17] <h1st0> Latitude^: dunno if they support write though but they can read.
[11:18] <cwill1> Latitude^: h1st0:  ext2 only I thought
[11:18] <cwill1> r/w, but not journalling
[11:18] <djbrown> gyaresu: hmm.. seems im getting the second one as a separat screen not an extenstion of the first one
[11:18] <h1st0> cwill1: no they can do ext3
[11:18] <cwill1> h1st0: are you sure?  ext2 is compatible with ext3
[11:18] <Latitude^> h1st0, have u used it personally?
[11:18] <ubuntu_user7982> https seems to be broken on my system - i've tried reinstalling the appopriate libriaries to no avail tho doesnt work on any browser including lynx!  Any one seen this have any ideas what might be wrong here?
[11:18] <systemd0wn_> how can i tell the kernel version im currently using?
[11:18] <h1st0> systemd0wn_: uname -r
[11:19] <dopry> x11-common in fiesty has bad validation for xserver nice value.
[11:20] <systemd0wn_> h1st0: thanks
[11:20] <djbrown> anyone got dual screens runnig with beryl?
[11:21] <yurimxpxma1> thanks h1st0 it works
[11:21] <yurimxpxma1> I have another question though while I am here
[11:21] <cwill1> h1st0: Latitude^:  http://www.fs-driver.org/ lets you mount ext2 in xp, which is compatible with ext3 (you can read and write, but it's not quite as safe as a true ext3 driver);  there's also several readonly browsers (which again work with both ext2 and ext3, and for read-only, there's no catch)
[11:21] <yurimxpxma1> does anyone know how to change the color of the text on the panels?
[11:21] <Alarm> hello, how can i translate this in kbyte/s : larm@rockpc:~$ ifconfig eth0 | grep 'RX byte'          RX bytes:292816535 (279.2 MiB)  TX bytes:56932362 (54.2 MiB)
[11:22] <h1st0> yurimxpxma1: edit your theme
[11:22] <systemd0wn_> so if i have to verstions installed i should be able to delete another kernel with no problems, right?
[11:22] <h1st0> yurimxpxma1: what are you running with xwinwrap if Imight ask? and how much cpu does it eat?
[11:22] <yurimxpxma1> I am using beryl right now
[11:22] <cwill1> Latitude^: I've used the fs-driver before, although not for anything heavy duty
[11:22] <h1st0> yurimxpxma1: you'd have to edit what ever theme you are using with emerald
[11:22] <yurimxpxma1> hmm
[11:23] <yurimxpxma1> I am not seeing anything in the emerald theme manager about it
[11:23] <cwill1> djbrown: I've done dual screens, but the video card has to support treating it as one giant framebuffer
[11:23] <h1st0> yurimxpxma1: dunno maybe manually edit the theme
[11:23] <cwill1> djbrown: ati cards are capped at 2x1024x768 due to a limitation in the card for that technique
[11:23] <h1st0> systemd0wn_: if you are running a newer kernel you can purge the older ones yes.
[11:24] <yurimxpxma1> how do I do theat?
[11:24] <yurimxpxma1> that*
[11:24] <systemd0wn_> h1st0: thanks again!
[11:24] <Latitude^> thanks cwill1
[11:24] <djbrown> cwill1: i've got the two screens running now it just seems like it's treating the second one as a seperat entity instead of an exstention of the first one
[11:24] <cwill1> djbrown: can you pastebin me your xorg.conf?
[11:25] <cwill1> djbrown: what video card?
[11:25] <BobZero> how i can edit a users group?
[11:25] <ikonia_> BobZero usermod
[11:25] <djbrown> cwill1: 2x7900gtx
[11:25] <cwill1> djbrown: two seperate video cards?
[11:25] <h1st0> BobZero: what do you mean?
[11:25] <djbrown> yeah
[11:25] <cwill1> djbrown: :(
[11:25] <h1st0> BobZero: nvm
[11:25] <DeVhuRR> ali
[11:25] <DeVhuRR> sli
[11:26] <djbrown> not running them in sli atm
[11:26] <yurimxpxma1> does anybody else know how I can change my font color in the panels?
[11:26] <djbrown> cwill1: http://kriegsmarine.se/stuff/xorg.conf
[11:26] <cwill1> djbrown: xinerama (two joined screens) isn't accelerated in that case;  there was a package that was supported to make that work, but I can't remember the name, and I have no idea if it'd work for this case
[11:26] <djbrown> seems people have it running like that accelerated
[11:26] <ikonia_> cwill1 you can do it with twin view, and has he's using sli - he can get acceleration on each screen as it luanches two x servers
[11:26] <djbrown> just not finding much info about setting it up
[11:27] <djbrown> ikonia_: not using them in SLI it's just two identical cards
[11:27] <ikonia_> djbrowneven better
[11:27] <ikonia_> djbrown even better
[11:27] <djbrown> thing is
[11:27] <ikonia_> 1 card per x server = accelerated
[11:27] <djbrown> if i start it up now
[11:28] <djbrown> i get two gnome running
[11:28] <djbrown> and if beryl is running as well it locks up the second screen
[11:28] <ikonia_> djbrown all depends on how you set it up
[11:28] <yurimxpxma1> does anybody know how to change the color of the text in the panels?
[11:28] <djbrown> ikonia_: can you take a look at my xorg there
[11:28] <djbrown> ikonia_: http://kriegsmarine.se/stuff/xorg.conf
[11:29] <zzaza> hi all
[11:29] <yettenet> Could you tell me the name of the window manager with the lowest memory footprint?
[11:29] <djbrown> ikonia_: what i want is for the second one to be an extension of the first if at all possible
[11:29] <h1st0> yettenet: well there are a few that are really low.
[11:29] <cwill1> yettenet: I like using matchbox for extreme requirements, but that's um, a bit extreme
[11:29] <yettenet> h1st0: For example?
[11:30] <h1st0> yettenet: blackbox fwm icewm xfce etc...
[11:30] <yettenet> Hm
[11:30] <h1st0> yettenet: all of those are lower in memory footprint.
[11:30] <yettenet> Isn't blackbox already dead?
[11:30] <ikonia_> djbrown then you need to run xinerama but instead of using 1 card and two ports as most people do you need to use the bus id of twp different cards to it launches 1 xserver per card
[11:30] <h1st0> yettenet: if you just go with xubuntu-desktop
[11:31] <zzaza> talking about window manager whci one would recomnd for an internet cafe
[11:31] <djbrown> ikonia_: so just set up xinerama and define the bus id's in the config?
[11:31] <ikonia_> zzaza personal choice of the owner
[11:31] <shaun__> yo
[11:31] <ikonia_> djbrown thats the basics of it - but make sure the bus id's of of each card, not 1 card sharing the two ports on it
[11:31] <shaun__> hey all
[11:31] <yettenet> Hi
[11:31] <ikonia_> shaun__ say you the first time
[11:31] <ikonia_> saw
[11:31] <shaun__> is josh josh here
[11:31] <shaun__> lolz
[11:31] <ikonia_> shaun__  take a look
[11:32] <zzaza> ikonia, thinking of loe mem, easy to configure, and easy for most of the pepple
[11:32] <ikonia_> zzaza gnome
[11:32] <simontol> hi anyone here who has used debootstrap?
[11:32] <ikonia_> zzaza in my opinion
[11:32] <cwill1> zzaza: do you want to provide a full-desktop, or just the browser?
[11:32] <shaun__> ahhh
[11:32] <shaun__> well i had 2 get rid of ubuntu yesterday
[11:32] <djbrown> ikonia_: giving it a try now then
[11:33] <ikonia_> djbrown I'm a bit rust on xinerma - also be aware of twinview - but I prefer the native xinerma
[11:33] <ikonia_> s/rust/rusty
[11:33] <shaun__> i updated 2 edgy and it wouldnt let me put my graphics drivers on
[11:33] <h1st0> shaun__: why?
[11:33] <ikonia_> h1st0 ugghh feeding
[11:33] <zzaza> cwill1, humm not reall full desktop, browser, acroread, gaim or kopeta and abilty to connect a camera
[11:33] <shaun__> i dont no i have a geforce 7300 LE
[11:33] <h1st0> shaun__: did you try the nvidia-glx package?
[11:33] <djbrown> ikonia_: work but it's accelerated
[11:33] <ikonia_> zzaz gnome for ease - if you have time xfce but configure it
[11:33] <cwill1> zzaza: xubuntu + possibly a lighter wm if you want is probably a good fit
[11:33] <babo> what do I set up my windowing to, if I don't want emacs to keep opening up in X11 ? ... it's 0:0 or something like that
[11:34] <ikonia_> djbrown do you not want accelerated ?
[11:34] <shaun__> yh i tried
[11:34] <ekul`> !xvid

[11:34] <neildarlow> i've got some updates that are failing on preconfigure (bad nice value passed). is there any way i can hack the downloaded package to fix it?
[11:34] <djbrown> ikonia_: i want to to be accelerated so i can use beryl
[11:34] <djbrown> ikonia_: it to be*
[11:34] <shaun__> i only wanted 2 play css
[11:34] <djbrown> ikonia_: but now with xinerama it isnt
[11:34] <h1st0> zzaza: or just no wm and just use X then just startx and launch the paps
[11:34] <shaun__> cuz most servers r linux
[11:34] <babo> DISPLAY=:0.
[11:34] <babo> ?
[11:34] <ikonia_> djbrown ok - 1.) use xinerama - its not driver dependent 2.) beryl is dubious on dual headed displays you need to make sure your config is spot on and pray
[11:34] <ikonia_> djbrown it should be
[11:35] <ikonia_> djbrown use the nvidia driver and xinerma  - if not try twinview
[11:35] <cwill1> djbrown: twinview is probably your best bet
[11:35] <shaun__> does any 1 have a gforce 7300 LE
[11:35] <ikonia_> shaun__ no
[11:35] <zzaza> anyone with documenation or any help using xubuntu server for xterminal or thin clients
[11:35] <ikonia_> shaun__ but the nvidia drivers support it fine
[11:36] <shaun__> it dont tho i tried everything
[11:36] <ikonia_> zzaza what sort of help
[11:36] <ikonia_> shaun__ read this link
[11:36] <shaun__> kk
[11:36] <ikonia_> !nvidia >shaun__
[11:36] <shaun__> what link???
[11:36] <zzaza> ikonia, configuration for the xterminal
[11:36] <ikonia_> zzaza what part of configuring it
[11:36] <shaun__> i see no link
[11:36] <ikonia_> why would you give someone an xterm
[11:36] <ikonia_> shaun__ it was sent in a pm
[11:37] <cwill1> zzaza: look up edubuntu, ltsp
[11:37] <cwill1> !ltsp
[11:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ltsp - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:37] <zzaza> ikonia, cleints desktop configurstion
[11:37] <cwill1> :/
[11:37] <ikonia_> cwill1 ltsp ?
[11:37] <cwill1> he wants thin clients?
[11:37] <ikonia_> zzaza ok - so what you're looking for is netbooting disk less root
[11:37] <ikonia_> zzaza google for that
[11:37] <zzaza> cwill1, i have looked both at edubuntu and www.ltsp.org
[11:37] <ikonia_> diskless clients that should read
[11:38] <h1st0> Is there a command to have grub regenerate the menu.1st?
[11:38] <ikonia_> h1st0 no
[11:38] <h1st0> I removed some old kernels and they aren't removed.
[11:38] <shaun__> yh i have used this 1
[11:38] <ikonia_> h1st0 have you rebooted ?
[11:38] <h1st0> Or a script I know its run when you install a new kernel
[11:38] <shaun__> it does not work
[11:38] <h1st0> ikonia_: no
[11:38] <ikonia_> h1st0 each kernel installs its self in grub
[11:38] <BobZero> i got e user for sftp
[11:38] <BobZero> everything fine
[11:38] <h1st0> ikonia_: I know but when you purge a kernel grub doesn't update
[11:38] <hades> does anyone know how to install the kerio mail server (rpm-package) ?! ...
[11:39] <ikonia_> h1st0 if you remove a kernel - more so if its the running kernel you'll need to reboot to get the rest ot he post-deletion process to update
[11:39] <ekul`> !xvid

[11:39] <ikonia_> h1st0 it should do
[11:39] <djbrown> ikonia_: from what im reading it looks like xinerama does not support accelerated graphics
[11:39] <BobZero> but now i want the this user only see his homefolder
[11:39] <ikonia_> hades rpm is not for ubuntu
[11:39] <BobZero> and nothing else
[11:39] <h1st0> ikonia_: I'm not running the kernel I removed.
[11:39] <ikonia_> djbrown I've had it running - I'm %90 certain of that on dual head with nvidia
[11:39] <ikonia_> h1st0 looks like your post script didn't clean up
[11:39] <User2007> hello, can someone help me with cpu frequency scaling? I've installed xubuntu dapper and I don't think it's been detected
[11:40] <hades> in know, but u can convert it with "alien" but the startscipts are wrong ... : /
[11:40] <ikonia_> User2007 what processor do you have- its had issues
[11:40] <ikonia_> hadesbecause the contents of an rpm are not meant to be installed on ubuntu
[11:40] <h1st0> ikonia_: Thats why i'mlooking for the script.
[11:40] <User2007> mobile P3 750 MHz
[11:40] <ikonia_> User2007 don't think they support scaling, they are just low frequency
[11:40] <User2007> it says it has intel speedstep
[11:40] <ikonia_> hades because the contents of an rpm are not meant to be installed on ubuntu
[11:41] <ikonia_> User2007 ahh yes, speed stepping, my mistake
[11:41] <djbrown> ikonia_: hrm.. have to do some more browsing then
[11:41] <User2007> but there may be another reason it isn't working already...I had to install xubuntu on another computer then put that hard drive in this laptop, because I can't boot from cd or floppy on this
[11:41] <ikonia_> djbrown I had beryl working too, but it was a little unstable
[11:41] <User2007> so maybe because the other computer didn't have speedstep it didn't set it up?
[11:42] <ikonia_> User2007 ubuntu isn't portable - you can't swap harddisks like that
[11:42] <User2007> I know it's not usually a good idea, but I didn't know how else to get it on this system
[11:42] <h1st0> ikonia_: update-grub was what I was looking for.
[11:42] <djbrown> ikonia_: beryl works with no problems if im running just one screen
[11:42] <ikonia_> User2007 reinstall
[11:42] <User2007> how?
[11:43] <ikonia_> djbrown yes but you wanted dual screen - so thats a pointless example
[11:43] <ikonia_> User2007 do you not have a cdrom drive ?
[11:43] <User2007> no I don't, not on this laptop
[11:43] <User2007> no floppy either
[11:43] <ikonia_> User2007 netboot is your only option - but thats a lot of effort
[11:43] <MrKeuner> my computer does not enter the idle mode, what is the error log to start checking? syslog, and messages shows just two lines, time t entered idle mode , time t ended idle mode
[11:44] <User2007> is there some way to make it redetect all of the hardware?
[11:44] <shaun__> cheers ikonia im goin 2 reinstall ubuntu which 1 u runnin
[11:44] <Xif> is there a way to bind keyboard shortcuts to launchers (like you can do in Windows)?
[11:44] <CyberCr33p> is possibly using imap2 to hide files that start with . ?
[11:44] <ikonia_> User2007 nope as its an "install"
[11:44] <ikonia_> shaun__ doesn't matter which one I'm running
[11:45] <User2007> I guess going back to XP is the only option for this laptop
[11:45] <varkatope_> is there any linuxbased htpc application like vdr that also supports fullfeatured dvb-s cards and playback of various videoformats like divx and stuff?
[11:45] <shaun__> u runnin edgy or dapper
[11:45] <shaun__> i wanna no which 1 is better
[11:45] <shaun__> just want ur opin
[11:46] <ttmrichter> shaun__: Better for what?
[11:46] <shaun__> my 64 bit pc
[11:46] <Ribs> varkatope_, I don't know what vdr is... but are you looking for something like mythtv?
[11:46] <djbrown> ikonia_: twin view does support accelerated but im not surt it'll work as i want running it on two cards
[11:46] <User2007> oh well, thanks anyway ikonia
[11:47] <ekul`> how do i download and install the dependency libdvdcss2?
[11:47] <h1st0> What am I missing in grub's menu.1st that doesn't automatically append vga=792 when update-grub is run? Here is my menu.1st http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9066/
[11:47] <shaun__> bb ppl
[11:47] <ikonia_> djbrown got to try it
[11:47] <varkatope_> Ribs: indeed, but as far as i know mythtv doesnt support dvb-s cards in general and fullfeatured dvb-s cards in particular
[11:47] <h1st0> I have # defoptions=quiet splash vga=792
[11:47] <ikonia_> shaun__ neither is better - and run 32bit not 64 bit
[11:48] <LePoulpe303> hi all
[11:48] <ikonia_> ekul its in the wiki
[11:48] <ekul`> damn theres a wiki, excellent :D
[11:48] <ekul`> cheers
[11:48] <ubuntu_user7982> https seems to be broken on my system - i've tried reinstalling the appopriate libriaries to no avail tho doesnt work on any browser including lynx!  Any one seen this have any ideas what might be wrong here?
[11:48] <ikonia_> ekul` well done on reading the topic or the ubuntu home page......not
[11:48] <Ribs> varkatope_, my understanding is that it should be okay as long as the proper Linux drivers exist. It works pretty well with the DVB-T cards I have installed.
[11:48] <Ribs> varkatope_, but I'm not an expert :)
[11:48] <LePoulpe303> i have a pretty strange problem ; in order to have 3D detected ; i must fist boot windows then ubuntu ?!? i can't understand that ; anyone has a clue ?
[11:49] <ikonia_> ubuntu_user7982 more detail, whats happening , whats the "appropriate libraries" you think need re-installing
[11:49] <_james> what is the command to check the disk space using terminal?
[11:49] <ikonia_> LePoulpe303 thats nonsense
[11:49] <ikonia_> _james df -h
[11:49] <LePoulpe303> ikonia_: but true
[11:49] <ikonia_> LePoulpe303 yes, but has no purpose
[11:49] <h1st0> _james: du
[11:49] <varkatope_> Ribs: thats my problem, as far as i researched, dvb-t is well featured by almost every htpc-app while dvb-s isnt
[11:49] <LePoulpe303> ikonia_:   cold boot ubuntu )> fglrxinfo : mesa glx ; boot win fist then ubuntu => fglrx gives radeon9600
[11:49] <h1st0> _james: df i'm sorry
[11:50] <Ribs> varkatope_, Is it worth just trying it to see if it's good enough for you?
[11:50] <ikonia_> LePoulpe303 impossible - you're xorg.conf file doesn't change between boots
[11:50] <djbrown> ikonia_: i have a feeling it's going to break horribly ;)
[11:50] <LePoulpe303> ikonia_: i'm not a liar
[11:50] <djbrown> ikonia_: but we'll see
[11:50] <LePoulpe303> ikonia_: neither stupid
[11:50] <varkatope_> Ribs: so there are no alternatives to mythtv or vdr?
[11:50] <ikonia_> LePoulpe303 I don't doubt it-b ut xorg.conf is a static file - you need to investigate if its changing
[11:51] <LePoulpe303> ikonia_: my feeling is that windows tweaks the bios
[11:51] <ikonia_> djbrown trial and error will tell
[11:51] <Ribs> varkatope_, I only use mythtv. as PVR programs go, I'd say mythtv is the most fully featured.
[11:51] <LePoulpe303> ikonia_: for agp settings
[11:51] <ikonia_> LePoulpe303 I find that hard to believe - but possible
[11:51] <ekul`> well im sorry i didn't see it there ikonia_, i was a bit distracted by actually having ubuntu working now
[11:51] <graba> helo, smb know how install new hard disk drive in external enclosure on USB ?
[11:51] <ikonia_> LePoulpe303I suggest you view your xorg.conf files between boots
[11:51] <varkatope_> Ribs: ok, ill give it a try
[11:51] <LePoulpe303> ikonia_: i made the experience 6 times, i wasn't believing it myself
[11:51] <ikonia_> LePoulpe303 did you check the xorg.conf file
[11:51] <varkatope_> Ribs: what kind of mediaplayer does mythtv use to play all sorts of video?
[11:52] <ikonia_> ekul` all the more reason to read the docs - walking before running
[11:52] <peter1984> any way to split files in 2?
[11:52] <LePoulpe303> ikonia_: i tried all the wiki and advice of the www to make this d.mned ati card work without any results
[11:52] <ikonia_> LePoulpe303 did you check the xorg.conf file
[11:52] <ubuntu_user7982> ikonia_: tries to make connection and then gets "stuck" vstrange the libs i reinstalled were the standard ubuntu ssl ones.  Really not sure what caused this! Quite a low level problem as well by the looks of it.
[11:52] <LePoulpe303> ikonia_: i can try putting it read only to be sure
[11:52] <Ribs> varkatope_, it uses it's own built in one. For media files you manually feed it, it can use whatever you tell it to. But for LiveTV and stuff it's recorded itself, it uses it's built in player.
[11:52] <ikonia_> ubuntu_user7982 check the ssl log
[11:52] <ikonia_> LePoulpe303 just check the xorg.conf file to see if its changed
[11:52] <LePoulpe303> ikonia_: but i don't see something modifying xorg.conf at each boot
[11:53] <ikonia_> LePoulpe303 you don't need read only - just check it
[11:53] <varkatope_> Ribs: is the builtin player based on  xine?
[11:53] <ikonia_>               LePoulpe303 no netierh do I but thats the only way the drivers can change - unless its down to loading a kernel module
[11:53] <Ribs> varkatope_, I don't know.
[11:53] <LePoulpe303> ikonia_: but(ill try that in a couple of hours
[11:53] <ikonia_> I don't know the ati drivers that well so I don't know if its a kernal module
[11:53] <Ribs> varkatope_, I suggest you ask in #mythtv-users :)
[11:53] <fn1> Has anyone enabled the 'composite' functionality of metacity ?. I'm not quite fond of an alternate WM like Compiz/Beryl but slight eye-candy wouldn't hurt. What feature does composited metacity bring ?
[11:53] <ikonia_> fn1 google xorg composite
[11:54] <LePoulpe303> ikonia_: as far as i know fglrx is a kernel module
[11:54] <ikonia_> LePoulpe303 check if thats being loaded then
[11:54] <LePoulpe303> but honestly , hypothesis of windows tweaking the bios settings is more probable for me
[11:54] <ikonia_> LePoulpe303 ughhhhh
[11:54] <fn1> ikonia_: xcompmgr, I'm on half way downloading a large package so it's not possible to try it now.
[11:54] <ikonia_> LePoulpe303 you're not listening - the problem is not windows the problem is whats different in ubuntu's behaviour - once you now that you can fix it
[11:55] <aeromix> [1153] [au@dublin:~] $ n="00001"; if [[ $n -eq 1 ] ] ; then echo "JO!"; fi
[11:55] <aeromix> bash: !": event not found
[11:55] <aeromix> why does echo not print ! ?
[11:55] <LePoulpe303> ikonia_: after windows boot it's loaded; when cold boot, it doesn't load "internal agp not handled by kernel 2.6"
[11:55] <ikonia_> LePoulpe303 stop looking at what windows does/doesn't do - and find out whats changing in ubuntu
[11:55] <Ribs> fn1, metacity's eye-candy has to be compiled in. I don't think Ubuntu offers that yet.
[11:55] <LePoulpe303> ikonia_: ok ; i'll see that , then i'll tell you ;)
[11:56] <kekko_> hallo ubuntu people
[11:56] <fn1> Ribs: Probably so, toggling it in gconf editor makes no different. Thanks.
[11:56] <varkatope_> Ribs: i'll do so, thx
[11:56] <kekko_> does anyone know how to copy files from a dir keeping files permissions?
[11:56] <ikonia_> kekko_ man cp
[11:57] <kekko_> ikonia_  :)
[11:57] <ikonia_> kekko_ what ?
[11:58] <kekko_> ikonia: i've cheked there
[11:58] <kekko_> or i won't be here asking..
[11:58] <ikonia_> kekko_ no you've not
[11:58] <fn1> kekko_: search the word 'preserve'
[11:58] <kekko_> ok chekcing again
[11:58] <ikonia_> read it again
[11:58] <banco> Is there any way to givean application a priority on cpu usage to stop glitching when other processes are getting greedy?
[11:58] <ikonia_> banco nice
[11:59] <dbprog> kekko_: cp -p ...
[11:59] <banco> ikonia, nice? nice is an app?
[11:59] <ikonia_> dbprog he's meant to be looking himself - thats basic
[11:59] <fn1> banco: checkout 'nice' command
[11:59] <dbprog> kekko_: parameter p is what you need ;-)
[11:59] <kekko_> ikona_ : you are right
[11:59] <ikonia_> kekko_I know - thats why I told you to look again
[11:59] <kekko_> dbprog: thanks
[11:59] <ikonia_> give a man a fish and he'll eat it, give him a net and he'll eat for life
[11:59] <banco> OK! like it, cheers fn1 ikonia
[11:59] <kekko_> ikonia_ : totally true
[11:59] <ikonia_> we give too many fishes
[12:00] <banco> <<thought ikonia was talking about his grammar
[12:00] <ikonia_> banco its a command
[12:00] <dbprog> some people doesn't want to fish, they just want to eat
[12:00] <ikonia_> dbprog yes, but its tedious
[12:00] <ikonia_> dbprog constant spoon feeding = dumb community
[12:01] <kekko_> ikona_ dbprog : a bit of this a bit of that is perfect
[12:01] <yomm> tar -cvvf myhome.tar /home/myhome/
[12:01] <yomm> Would this be ok to tar up my home dir ? :
[12:01] <kekko_> sort of "both togheter are best"
[12:01] <ikonia_> yomm not with two V's
[12:01] <banco> ikonia, i gotchya ;)
[12:01] <fn1> yomm: yup
[12:01] <dbprog> ikonia I understand
[12:01] <ekul`> I've searched the wiki and cant find anything, i get 18 results for a text search for 'libdvdcss2' about half are in another language, some are just to do lists and nothing on how to install
[12:01] <OSU> .
[12:02] <ikonia_> ekul` search for "restricted formats"
[12:02] <yomm> ikonia : whhat exactly are the V's for , tha man pages say something about name label ...
[12:02] <ikonia_> yomm verbose
[12:02] <dbprog> do you guys know an equivalent of project conduit ?
[12:02] <yomm> ikonia : so the V's shouldn't do any harm ?
[12:03] <fn1> yomm: try it and see.
[12:03] <banco> and another (while i'm here)...
[12:03] <fn1> yomm: the man pages are pretty clear.
[12:03] <ekul`> i've already read that page ikonia, it give a link to the libdvdcss2 package, which i downloaded and tried to install with deb package installer
[12:03] <ekul`> Error: Dependencies is not satisiable: libdvdcss2
[12:04] <nysosym> hi there, has anyone tested the new kde 4 release in feisty fawn? How can i activate them?
[12:04] <yomm> fn : They don't explain why there is a double v
[12:05] <RodneyMcKay> where can i find libofa?
[12:05] <fn1> yomm: yeah, but many commands do consider double (or triple) Vs are even more verbose.
[12:05] <RodneyMcKay> googling seems to show it's in the main pool repo
[12:05] <RodneyMcKay> but i can't find it using synapti
[12:05] <RodneyMcKay> +c
[12:05] <systemd0wn_> how can i see what driver my wireless card is currently using?
[12:05] <yomm> fn1 : I just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to do something stupid .. I did read the man pages
[12:05] <yomm> fn1 : ok I see !

[12:17] <lnostdal> anyone else seeing this?
[12:17] <intelikey> and that was prior to my actually chrooting and dialing out.   so it wasn't busy then.   not that i can tell. Frogzoo
[12:17] <lnostdal> it seems to happen at the "preconfiguring packages"-stage
[12:17] <kumelk> is java suppose to use 60% cpu and 200mb memory each time I use azureus ?
[12:18] <kumelk> or perhaps there is some other nice torrent apps out there which dont depend on java ?
[12:18] <kumelk> someone know about this java "bug" or ?
[12:19] <intelikey> one point that i should mention.  i have uninstalled all non-essential packages.  that may be the problem but i don't know what would be missing that would cause that.
[12:20] <Frogzoo> intelikey: you could try ckermit or minicom & see if you can connect
[12:21] <Frogzoo> if that works, maybe use plain pppd instead of wvdial
[12:21] <intelikey> not familear with either of those...  i'll give a look.
[12:22] <bullgard1>  What is 'Avahi'? Synaptic: "a fully LGPL framework for Multicast DNS Service Discovery.

[12:22] <Frogzoo> intelikey: they're terminal emulators - you can connect to the serial port & issue hayes commands to the modem
[12:23] <intelikey> Frogzoo ok.  checking.

[12:30] <mackinac> omeil:  babelfish
[12:30] <_james> yeah from their website and i signed up. but the email hasn't arrived yet
[12:30] <paul_world10> vmware is nice thats what got me into dapper
[12:30] <omeil> 0_o
[12:31] <mackinac> google it
[12:31] <ubunutn00b> automatix? Anyone know anything about it? Is there a mirror somewhere?
[12:32] <amorphous_> the other approach is...
[12:32] <_james> what is the difference between vmware server and vmware player?
[12:32] <cMadman> does anyone have experience getting a griffin powermate (http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/powermate/) to work under edgy?
[12:32] <intelikey> Frogzoo found it.   wvdial was missing some deps.   but apt-get install -f wasn't reporting any missing deps  odd
[12:32] <x2mjokada> hey guys, i just installed photoshop  using wine, but i can't find the installation directory.  Does anyone have an idea where it might be?
[12:33] <ben_underscore> _james: player is for single user desktop type stuff
[12:33] <Frogzoo> the packaging system's good, but not perfect
[12:33] <paul_world10> use nautilus or terminal and ls -a
[12:33] <omeil> say has anyone got the world forge client working? gives me a weird error on mine
[12:33] <ben_underscore> _james: ie if you wanted to run a vm of an os to test it out or something. server is for virtualising whole servers and having lots of users connect to it
[12:34] <intelikey> yeah.   tell me about not perfect.      i've had more trubble with apt than any other packageing system i have ever used.
[12:34] <ben_underscore> x2mjokada: look in your ~/.wine directory
[12:34] <kishore> #ubuntu-ap
[12:34] <intelikey> Frogzoo thanks for the heads up.   later.
[12:35] <_james> ben_underscore:  ok so vmware is better
[12:35] <ben_underscore> x2mjokada: the drive_c directory is a mock version of the windows c drive, funnily enough
[12:35] <paul_world10> vmware is cute I just got sad with the smaller screen in Ubuntu since I am dumb
[12:36] <omeil> lol
[12:36] <ben_underscore> _james: than what? it's pretty good, and you can install it in ubuntu pretty easily
[12:36] <paul_world10> its a cutey with xp its a charm
[12:36] <_james> i mean vmware server is better than vmware player
[12:36] <x2mjokada> ben_underscore, thanks man! i found it.
[12:36] <omeil> they should have made wine create the c directory in example /home/omeil/C/, kinda sucks always gotta .wine
[12:37] <ben_underscore> _james: it depends what you want to use it for ...
[12:37] <ben_underscore> x2mjokada: any time
[12:37] <paul_world10> does wine work with neverwinternights besides the startup screen?
[12:37] <jenda> A friend says he cannot write to his home partition - what's the easiest way of finding where the permission problem is?
[12:38] <Frogzoo> omeil: symlink if you must
[12:38] <paul_world10> ls -lh pop something
[12:38] <omeil> Frogzoo: i would if i could but i just odn't now how :(
[12:38] <_james> ben_underscore: can i install windows file on vmware player?
[12:38] <ikonia_> jenda check he has permissions and the partition is not full or mounted read only
[12:38] <omeil> know*
[12:38] <omeil> paul_world10: why not just download the NWN installer for linux? and run it to the maxtor :D
[12:38] <_james> ben_underscore: like i wanna play games on vmware player like dota online is that possible on vmware player?
[12:38] <paul_world10> omg omeil
[12:38] <lafiel> Hi, my setup had 2 hard drives and my ubuntu installation was on the slave.. The master has now failed. How do I recover my installation?
[12:38] <Frogzoo> omeil: ln -s ~/.wine ~/C
[12:39] <amorphous_> How can I stop a runaway printer queue? the printing docs dont show up in the gnome-cups-man printer queue?!? - this is an apt-get'ed gnome-desktop-environment from an Xubuntu install, it's printing constantly - but theres nothing in any queues i can find. I'm running out of ideas...any suggestions?
[12:39] <paul_world10> wow
[12:39] <lafiel> I'm told that I need to re setup GRUB.. I'm on the LIVE CD atm. Can somebody help me out?
[12:39] <Frogzoo> amorphous_: lpc
[12:39] <ben_underscore> _james: if you have a virtual machine running inside a vmware image, and then you run your games inside of that, then sure no problems
[12:39] <omeil> paul_world10: ?
[12:39] <paul_world10> you guys floor me I wish I could
[12:39] <amorphous_> I've tried checking queues on gnome-cups-manager, xfprint4-manager, lpq
[12:39] <ikonia_> !grub >lafiel
[12:39] <Gabz> amorphous_:  turn off the printer :P
[12:39] <omeil> ? why omg omeil? :D
[12:39] <Frogzoo> amorphous_: sry, 'cancel'
[12:40] <lafiel> thanks ikonia
[12:40] <cMadman> does anyone know how to get a Griffin Powermate working under Ubuntu Edgy please? (http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/powermate/)
[12:40] <Frogzoo> amorphous_: cancel -a printer
[12:40] <amorphous_> Gabz, it's off - but it's needed
[12:40] <omeil> dota is a bad habit...quite annoying really:)
[12:40] <ben_underscore> _james: sorry i should also have said you'd need to install windows obviously ... however to create vm images you need to install vmware worstation ... all of which is free from vmware btw
[12:41] <ben_underscore> omeil: what's dota?
[12:41] <paul_world10> does nwn run from a special script Omeil?
[12:41] <amorphous_> Frogzoo, lpc > status says there's no entries...
[12:41] <_james> ben_underscore: what you mean? my question is, is it possible to install windows game on vmware player
[12:41] <bob_fl> i had a client with > 3000 jobs on queue and cancel queue told me not supporded on remote queues
[12:41] <Frogzoo> amorphous_: it's probably in printer memory anyhow/no longer in the queue - cancel from the printer's controls
[12:41] <Frogzoo> amorphous_: cancel -a printer
[12:41] <_james> ben_underscore:  can i install windows os on vmware server?
[12:41] <amorphous_> cancel -a printer
[12:41] <ikonia_> _jamesyes
[12:41] <ikonia_> _james yes
[12:42] <Frogzoo> amorphous_: the printer is printing from buffer memory - you'll need to reset the printer from it's control panel
[12:42] <ben_underscore> _james: all that vmware player does is provide a virtual machine so that you can install another os on top of that, just like real hardware.
[12:42] <ben_underscore> _james: if you want to install windows then sure, and then you can run games on top of that ....
[12:42] <ikonia_> _james they may run poor though
[12:42] <ben_underscore> _james: you may be able to run them under linux using wine however which is a linux port of the windows 32 binary api
[12:43] <omeil> Defence of the ancients and warcraft 3 map :D
[12:44] <omeil> paul_world10: bioware released a nwn1 installer couple of months or years ago :) its about 22 meg. just google nwn linux
[12:44] <paul_world10> I would love and cry if nwn runs in this linux box me being so sentimental.
[12:44] <omeil> it will run :)
[12:44] <_james> ben_underscore: i can run warcraft on wine but i can't run GG-client on wine ;) that's why i have to install vmware
[12:44] <omeil> hey i might just install nwn too. loved playing it online
[12:44] <ben_underscore> _james: what about cedega http://www.transgaming.com
[12:44] <_james> ben_underscore: will the games will run poor?
[12:44] <omeil> _james: whats GG?
[12:45] <ben_underscore> _james: everything will run slower as it is emulated ie: not native
[12:45] <paul_world10> its just the game I really liked
[12:45] <_james> GG is a game flatform that let you play online on warcraft counterstrike and etc.
[12:45] <omeil> oh ok
[12:45] <_james> ben_underscore:  dude what is transgaming?
[12:45] <systemd0wn_> been googlin around but cant find a good doc on patching orinoco drivers in ubuntu. the kismet docs arent working.
[12:46] <ikonia_> systemd0wn_ patching drivers will differ from distro and kernel release
[12:46] <omeil> _james: transgaming = cedega. based on the .wine engine but designed specifically for running games.
[12:46] <ben_underscore> _james: it is a company that produces software that lets you run windows games on linux - perhaps that might help you out. you have to pay for it though
[12:46] <_james> can you guys help me run GG-client on wine
[12:47] <_james> ben_underscore: kool ok i wil try it
[12:47] <systemd0wn_> ikonia_: aight, well... have any ideas on where to start?
[12:47] <ben_underscore> _james: good luck ... have a good night
[12:47] <omeil> im gonna have a look at this GGclient
[12:48] <koregaonpark> Hey, does anyone know what the minimum requirements for Edgy Eft are?
[12:48] <koregaonpark> I haven't been able to find a page with a summary of hardware requirements.
[12:48] <_james> ben_underscore: dude i think cedega is not free
[12:48] <paul_world10> whats going on with my source list updates even 'autogenerated' with universe disabled is still not cathing everything
[12:48] <xelados> When I attempt to compile Fluxbox, ./configure tells me I need the X11 headers and libraries. Is there a meta package that can install these for me?
[12:49] <ben_underscore> _james: yes, it is commercial
[12:49] <Hobbsee> xelados: xlibs-dev
[12:49] <yeti> is it possible to 'downgrade' xorg? i'm using edgy, but i have this problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=298679, so i thought, maybe it would help to use dappers xorg instead. is that possible?
[12:49] <_james> ben_underscore: how can i download it?
[12:50] <omeil> _james:you have msn or yahoo.?
[12:50] <_james> omeil: yes i have yahoo only
[12:50] <ikonia_> yeti not really possible
[12:50] <omeil> _james: what is it ill add you?
[12:51] <_james> matakss <-- add me up
[12:51] <ben_underscore> _james: http://www.transgaming.com/index.php?module=ContentExpress&func=display&file=index&ceid=29
[12:51] <koregaonpark> Um, anyone know where I can find the minimum requirements for Ubuntu Edgy Eft?
[12:52] <alexstacey> hello
[12:52] <_james> ben_underscore:  dude im there but where's the download part?
[12:52] <ikonia_> koregaonpark 128 meg ofr ram 800 meg hard disk - but thats unrealistic 256 ram and 3 gig disk is realistic
[12:52] <ikonia_> P3 800
[12:52] <paul_world10> anyone know if a us robotics 5610b will dial up on edgy eft?
[12:52] <koregaonpark> ikonia_, oh, that's it? Because I've been having some issues....
[12:52] <techie> good morning. Is there a way to copy all my firefox cookes from xp to my ubuntu browser?
[12:52] <ikonia_> paul_world10 check the hardware compatability list
[12:53] <alexstacey> anyone kow how i can get keyring manager to remember my passphrase when i scp from a terminal?
[12:53] <ikonia_> techie go into the cookies folder and swap them onto your ubuntu box
[12:53] <ben_underscore> _james: i've not done it myself but if you read the web page you'll see that you have to subscribe to their service, and subsequent to that you can download the cedega application ... beyond that i don't know any more
[12:53] <paul_world10> whats poppin with my source list ikonia
[12:53] <ikonia_> techie keep in mind a lot of cookies are hostname based so will fail
[12:53] <alexstacey> it works fine from 'connect to server...' but doesn't kick in when i'm in a terminal...=/
[12:53] <ikonia_> paul_world10 pardon ? you didn't meantion your source list
[12:53] <techie> ikonia_ thanks ikonia
[12:53] <_james> ben_underscore: yeah before you download you have to register and the registration has payment
[12:54] <paul_world10> I need some help with my dapper source list auto generated from the Ubuntu website
[12:54] <ben_underscore> _james: yep, it's commerical ... but if you ran windows you'd have to have a licence too
[12:54] <ikonia_> paul_world10 whats the problem with it ?
[12:54] <ben_underscore> _james: in theory
[12:54] <techie> ikonia_ minor detail hehe! But is a there a command for the "swapping" onro ubuntu?
[12:54] <ikonia_> techie no
[12:55] <mx-zoom> paul_world10: what's the problem with the list?
[12:55] <paul_world10> my sudo apt-get update or even gui is pausing
[12:55] <techie> ikonia_ ok. I will figure it out.
[12:55] <ikonia_> techie just copy them over
[12:55] <ikonia_> paul_world10 at what point
[12:55] <techie> ikonia_ ah! got you. thanks.
[12:55] <paul_world10> well i've got 3 different lists you know that I use sometimes I like the simple Ubuntu with no universe enamled
[12:55] <paul_world10> automatix is pausing hard
[12:56] <ikonia_> paul_world10 I don't support automatrix - sorry
[12:56] <paul_world10> can I paste my source list?
[12:56] <ikonia_> !automatrix >paul_world10
[12:56] <ikonia_> paul_world10 you can put them in a pastebin
[12:56] <techie> ikonia_ I had to go to xp last night and now I can see how very slow the xp is compared to ubuntu!!!
[12:57] <ikonia_> techie I don't think there is much of a difference, its more how its setup
[12:57] <yeti> mh okay, so does anybody know how to find out what "X Error: BadMatch   Request Major code 66 ()" means?
[12:57] <ikonia_> yeti need more info
[12:57] <techie> Ikonia_ perhaps is all the extra stuff I had on xp!
[12:57] <ikonia_> techie possibly, which is nothing to do with microsoft and more a user error
[12:58] <techie> ikonia_ I won't argue with your statement.
[12:58] <yeti> ikonia_: i'm trying to start a game (alpha centauri, one of loki's linux ports), and i get to the main menu, but then the game crashes, giving this error message.
[12:58] <ikonia_> yeti speak to loki as he did the port
[12:58] <yeti> ikonia_: several other users on ubuntuforums.org have the same problem since using edgy
[12:58] <thirdalbum> techie, often I find that Windows is slow because of anti-virus and anti-spyware software
[12:59] <yeti> ikonia_: well. it worked with dapper, so it seems it's a X problem...
[12:59] <ikonia_> yeti not nessasarrly
[12:59] <systemd0wn_> is there a doc on patching drivers in ubuntu? the way shown on the kismet website isnt working.
yes I had to remove Norton antivirus which slowed the system tremendously and replaced with paid verisons of avg and another one.
[12:59] <Greggles> Hi anyone can help me with a simple problem on Ubuntu
also i had programs which you accumulate with time that I later removed.
[01:00] <ikonia_> yeti Greggles ask the question
[01:00] <ikonia_> oosp
[01:00] <ikonia_>  Greggles ask the question
[01:00] <techie> you all have a great time, i must run.
[01:00] <techie> bye for now.
[01:00] <CokeNCode> guys
[01:01] <CokeNCode> how do i change the display setting for x
[01:01] <paul_world10> I would love to use edgy but it seems ppp config isnt working with my 5610b like dapper because pon is looking for a string in bin thats not there
[01:01] <CokeNCode> i'm getting an error saying that the display is out of range
[01:01] <CokeNCode> and i can't see anything in gui mode
[01:01] <Greggles> I have just installed Ubuntu 6.10, and managed to successfully configure a printer. All works fine when I print from Ubuntu system, but when I try and add the printer on my Windows XP Notebook, I can see my7 Ubunto machine, but cannot access the printer
[01:01] <meborc> try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:01] <Frogzoo> CokeNCode: means you're trying to drive at too high a refresh rate
[01:02] <Frogzoo> CokeNCode: for starters, choose a lower resolution
[01:02] <CokeNCode> meborc thanks
[01:02] <meborc> no prob
[01:02] <CokeNCode> Frogzoo ok, thew eird thing is, it was working fine before
[01:05] <ubunutn00b1> Hi, didnt anyone know anything about Autmatix?
[01:06] <RodneyMcKay> great now my sudo stopped workin
[01:06] <RodneyMcKay> +g
[01:06] <RodneyMcKay> anyone had this before?
[01:06] <RodneyMcKay> sudo <command> does just nothing anymore
[01:06] <RodneyMcKay> stracing says something about setuid but i don't know what has to be setuid
[01:06] <RodneyMcKay> sudo itself is +s in any case
[01:07] <paul_world10> I wish I could get my repos working properly
[01:07] <RodneyMcKay> i can't configure anything without sudo here
[01:07] <RodneyMcKay> man
[01:07] <paul_world10> 10 out of 11 darn
[01:08] <ubunutn00b1> sorry my nagging, but I really need to install autmatix, or is there an alternate GUI ?
[01:08] <deadchip> right
[01:08] <deadchip> i took myself out of the sudo group
[01:08] <deadchip> damn
[01:08] <ilia> hi
[01:08] <paul_world10> maybe automatix really did mess it up
[01:08] <deadchip> is there any way to log in as root directly?
[01:08] <meborc> ubuntun00b1 - there is easy ubuntu ... whish is kind of alternative to automatix...
[01:09] <paul_world10> bummer for little paul
[01:09] <deadchip> bahh
[01:09] <deadchip> brb
[01:09] <meborc> ubuntun00b1 - http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/
[01:09] <paul_world10> all that dial up time getting the kernal updates
[01:10] <romeomajk> deadchip: try su -
[01:13] <ubunutn00b1> meborc thanx. I'll check it out
[01:13] <paul_world10> http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper/Release.gpg: Could not connect to us.archive.ubuntu.com:80 (91.189.89.6), connection timed out
[01:13] <paul_world10> http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper-updates/Release.gpg
[01:13] <CokeNCode> hey guys, how do i change my refresh rate from the shell ?
[01:14] <CokeNCode> i went thru dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ... but that didn't give me any refresh rate options, so my display is still borked
[01:14] <meborc> CokeNCode it should give you options to chose the best refresh rates... you need to untick the ones too big with space...
[01:15] <meborc> i have no idea why you didn't have that
[01:15] <mackinac> it does?
[01:15] <mackinac> ive never seen it
[01:15] <paul_world10> I feel like crying
[01:16] <meborc> you might try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure phigh xserver-xorg (there might be a "-" infront of phigh... i can't remember)
[01:16] <alleyoopster> paul_world10: let it out
[01:17] <paul_world10> kiss kiss to Ubuntu and darn cry about my modem and my dumb brain
[01:17] <meborc> paul_world10 - maybe try to delete the us. from the sources list and use the main servers... not the us mirrors... update the sources list and see what happens
[01:18] <meborc> aah... sry
[01:18] <meborc> you don't have internet connection?
[01:18] <CokeNCode> meborc ok, i just did htat, didn't give me the option to fill in anything, but it did rewrite my config file at the end
[01:18] <meborc> ok
[01:18] <meborc> try startx
[01:19] <paul_world10> I dial up all the time you guys
[01:19] <CokeNCode> meborc it's already started, what's the command to stop x again ?
[01:19] <paul_world10> oh man I have to cry
[01:20] <meborc> hmm... i'm sorry... my memory is really bad... something like /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[01:20] <meborc> maybe
[01:21] <scv> meborc,  are you using a redhat?
[01:22] <meborc> :) no...
[01:22] <meborc> as i said... my memory is worse then on my lappy
[01:22] <Lice> how do i check a file size?
[01:22] <paul_world10> did automatix really pop my updates or could a server be down I took out the us
[01:22] <scv> meborc, many other linuxes can't do that
[01:22] <romeomajk> I would try /etc/init.d/gdm-stop
[01:23] <paul_world10> I get them all it just wont get 11
[01:24] <CokeNCode> romeomajk no dice
[01:24] <phlasphy> hello
[01:24] <phlasphy> i have one question about ubunt

[01:24] <webmaren> i can't install x11-common
[01:24] <CokeNCode> ok, that's enough of this
[01:24] <CokeNCode> time for a reboot
[01:25] <webmaren> it complains about a bad nice value and aborts
[01:25] <phlasphy> is ubuntu only for noobs?
[01:25] <phlasphy> or do pros use it too?
[01:25] <webmaren> !noob |phlasphy
[01:25] <ubotu> phlasphy: Words like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period.
[01:25] <phlasphy> i meant no offence?
[01:25] <paul_world10> if I was smart I would be like you guys
[01:25] <TMM> phlasphy: no, I'm a long-time linux/unix user and I use it
[01:25] <meborc> phlasphy - ubuntu is a debian distro... it can do whatever you like... but it is designed to be as friendly to newcomers as possible
[01:25] <Lice> meborc is that bytes or kilo bytes?
[01:25] <phlasphy> ok
[01:26] <phlasphy> ok kewl
[01:26] <webmaren> so i have a problem with my upgrade, running 7.04 herd5
[01:26] <phlasphy> brb
[01:26] <meborc> Lice - good Q... i have no idea :)... try with a file you know the size of... a movie... and see then
[01:26] <Lice> :(
[01:27] <Lice> meborc its bytes
[01:27] <Lice> or no wait..its kilobytes :O
[01:28] <meborc> Lice - try with "ls -a -l" then you get the bites... in nice order
[01:28] <webmaren> screenshot of problem: http://img154.imageshack.us/img154/8379/x11commonnoinstallji1.png
[01:29] <webmaren> should i just reinstall x11-common
[01:30] <paul_world10> I wish I was smart and I didnt have to reinstall my dapper
[01:31] <ks1> webmaren, join #ubuntu+1 and read the topic.
[01:31] <riqz> Hey guys can someone help me with vmware?
[01:31] <riqz> I installed vmware and now im stuck cos i dont know what else to do
[01:33] <fong> how do i restart inetd.conf?
[01:33] <elkbuntu> riqz, there is an unofficial channel on freenode for vmware, it is #vmware. you might try there?
[01:33] <Martyo> If I install ubuntu on a hard drive with windows already installed, will the installer resize the windows partition to make room for ubuntu?
[01:33] <NET||abuse> hey all, anyone able to tell me where to go for desktop toys for gnome? like vista gadgets or osx widgets
[01:33] <webmaren> ks1, ty
[01:34] <servtec> hi
[01:34] <NET||abuse> I'm not being lame and just whoring my desktop to stupid toys, there are actually just one or two little things i would find useful.
[01:34] <kbd> NET||abuse: they are called gdesklets
[01:35] <mackinac> http://www.gdesklets.de/
[01:35] <paul_world10> I guess half way through my beginning linux book I realize something
[01:35] <paul_world10> you people really dont care much
[01:35] <NET||abuse> mackinac, kbd , thanks so much :) i'll go look
[01:35] <kbd> NET||abuse: they can be resource consuming
[01:35] <paul_world10> I wont post
[01:35] <Pici> paul_world10: huh?
[01:35] <paul_world10> I wont be here anymore
[01:35] <NET||abuse> kbd, hmm, well if they are, that's why we're here, to re-write bad coding
[01:35] <paul_world10> but i'll learn it alone
[01:35] <paul_world10> I was only here for friends
[01:35] <kbd> paul_world10: Are you going to whine any more or would you like for me to see what I can do to help you?
[01:36] <paul_world10> because I dont have many in the world and I love computers
[01:36] <NET||abuse> paul_world10, i think your missing the point a bit
[01:36] <phlasphy> whoa what is going on?
[01:36] <paul_world10> maybe I am
[01:36] <paul_world10> but I am near the end anyway with all of it
[01:36] <meborc> paul - what are you having trouble with?
[01:36] <kbd> NET||abuse: well, it depends on which ones it is really. the weather/calendar ones are not that bad. It's the fact that they use either mono or python that makes desklets a resource hog
[01:36] <NET||abuse> paul_world10, we're here because linux is a tool for a job, not because we want a social scene
[01:37] <NET||abuse> kbd, ug, mono,, is python gtk bad?
[01:37] <paul_world10> thats it i'll just say a few more and go, I wont go to school because I know your smarter than me
[01:37] <paul_world10> its ok though I pick up
[01:37] <phlasphy> ok
[01:37] <kbd> NET||abuse: nah, it's just that it's a python image running
[01:38] <kbd> NET||abuse: but that was like 2 years ago that I had problems with python desklets
[01:38] <NET||abuse> paul_world10, no we're not smarter, we've just come to terms with the workings of the world around us.. so don't be so self deprecating
[01:38] <kbd> NET||abuse: python could have sped way up since then
[01:38] <meborc> paul - what are you having trouble with?
[01:38] <NET||abuse> kbd, i'll let you know when i try them out.
[01:38] <bayziders> I am trying to burn a iso what program should I use?
[01:38] <kbd> NET||abuse: yeah, do!
[01:38] <paul_world10> I think my source list is messed
[01:38] <NET||abuse> bayle, aptitude search burn
[01:39] <NET||abuse> bayle, any of those :)
[01:39] <meborc> paul - you can recreate your sources.list file...
[01:39] <paul_world10> I dial up because I am a loser
[01:39] <phlasphy> what is a source list?
[01:39] <meborc> i'll look for the link
[01:39] <kbd> NET||abuse: I saw them in automatix but I didn't want to install them... I should see what has popped up lately. I used to use the gmail desklet alot
[01:39] <paul_world10> I have 3 in stock
[01:39] <kbd> bayziders: gnome-baker is great!
[01:39] <Arafangion> paul_world10: On the contrary, dial-up can sometimes be really, really nice for certain games, if your latency is really low.
[01:39] <paul_world10> I got an ubuntu generated
[01:39] <NET||abuse> kbd, :) automatix is BAD
[01:39] <kbd> NET||abuse: :/
[01:39] <kbd> I wish I had known this
[01:40] <PwcrLinux> bayziders: are you using windows? you can try DeepBurn it's free to burn ISOs
[01:40] <meborc> paul_world10 - try this http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/
[01:40] <kbd> yeah recently it has forgotten my mplayer32 install :(
[01:40] <NET||abuse> anyway, stick to manual dpkg installs or aptitude repository supplied packages
[01:40] <kbd> so I will have to manually remove it
[01:40] <NET||abuse> kbd, safer
[01:40] <bayziders> PwcrLinux: No I avoid windows, geting BSODed scares me.
[01:40] <marsh> anybody hacve the name of the app to set security settings to make an aoutomatic login at startup
[01:40] <kbd> NET||abuse: I'm on x86_64, that is not always easy to do
[01:40] <NET||abuse> :) i have the same problem on my home pc :P
[01:41] <Latitude^> howcome amarok takes time to open? is that normal?
[01:41] <meborc> paul_world10 - automatix may have added some repos... or easyubuntu... so i would suggest you create a new one from the link i gave
[01:41] <Arafangion> kbd: Just install the 32-bit version. It's easier afaik.
[01:41] <paul_world10> no I have sources saved in a text
[01:41] <NET||abuse> bloody amd 64 machines,, but keep a 32bit laptop as your main platform and run your 64bit desktop and over the next little while things are gonna improve support wise
[01:41] <PatrickBic> hi
[01:41] <PwcrLinux> bayziders: yea, older windows gets BSOD, I dumped the XP out of my lappy, I am running Ubuntu Linux 5.10
[01:41] <paul_world10> I have the source list generated one
[01:41] <anders> when trying to ./configure it says configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
[01:41] <paul_world10> # the univers
[01:41] <Paddy_EIRE> I installed OpenOffice clipart how do I access the images
[01:41] <paul_world10> still hang on the last 7 out of 8
[01:42] <PatrickBic> how do i reinstall grub when running on the live cd atm?
[01:42] <fong> can anyone tell me where to find inetd in ubuntu?
[01:42] <Frogzoo> anders: install build-essential
[01:42] <Gabz> !acpi
[01:42] <ubotu> acpi: displays information on ACPI devices. In component main, is optional. Version 0.09-1 (edgy), package size 10 kB, installed size 72 kB (Only available for i386 ia64 amd64)
[01:42] <anders> FredricR, thank you
[01:42] <kbd> yeah x86_64 was going to be so great... and now it is just another PITA
[01:42] <bayziders> PwcrLinux, I have os x86 ubuntu and windows tri booted on my box.
[01:42] <anders> Frogzoo, thanks
[01:42] <NET||abuse> paul_world10, go to the faq's for your release and add the various repositories that you need. your also best off finding a reliable mirror in your geographic local ;)
[01:42] <kbd> Arafangion: I should try that for mplayer actually. Good idea.
[01:42] <meborc> paul_world10 - you could "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" and comment out (#) the source you are having trouble with
[01:42] <nickthorley> hi all - does anyone know about imap folders - if i create a folder called say sent items outside the inbox but within the imap account then will these be syncronised with the server
[01:43] <fong> !inetd
[01:43] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about inetd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:43] <PatrickBic> !grub
[01:43] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[01:43] <meborc> fong - are you trying to look for init.d?
[01:43] <Symmetria> heh grub seems to be used by a lot of things these days
[01:43] <kbd> Don't copy that floppy!
[01:43] <Symmetria> it works well as well
[01:43] <mcquaid> if I add a user that speaks a different language and I add that language,  Do all apps automagically display in that language or does it require downloading more stuff per application?
[01:43] <meborc> !init.d
[01:43] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about init.d - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:44] <mcquaid> And do most apps have a translation?
[01:44] <fong> meborc, its actually inetd.. im trying to restart it, based on a guide i'm following to setup cvs
[01:44] <kbd> mcquaid: if the apps have translations they should display in the new language
[01:44] <Frogzoo> mcquaid: internationalisation gives you multi language support
[01:44] <Arafangion> kbd: I have actually wondered if it were possible to dualboot ubuntu, with 32-bit and 64-bit userlands, and shared /var, /etc and /home partitions and dualboot until support improves, though I'd personally would just manually manage my own chroot and find a pure-64-bit system, but that's just me (if I had a 64-bit system, that is!)
[01:44] <Zero9983> i installed some program using wine , how can i execute?
[01:44] <kbd> mcquaid: most highly popular gnome apps do, yeah
[01:45] <Arafangion> kbd: Though, /var could get corrupted.
[01:45] <mcquaid> thats cool
[01:45] <meborc> fong - ok... srry
[01:45] <kbd> Arafangion: yeah :/
[01:45] <Zero9983> i installed some program using wine , how can i execute?
[01:45] <meborc> fong - try "whereis" command... i have no idea if it will work though
[01:45] <kbd> Arafangion: as far as mplayer and firefox go though, binary installs of the 32 bit versions seems to go well
[01:46] <Arafangion> Zero9983: wine .~/.wine/drive_c/path/to/program
[01:46] <anders> Frogzoo, it says i need a cd-rom... why can't it just download?
[01:46] <kbd> Arafangion: I've only had trouble with the 32bit gtk
[01:46] <Frogzoo> anders: disable the cdrom as a repository
[01:46] <Arafangion> kbd: That makes sense, but I'm too tired to go into it.
[01:46] <fong> meborc, its actually not found..
[01:46] <Zero9983> Arafangion: i dont know where the program located
[01:46] <kbd> Arafangion: yeah
[01:46] <Zero9983> Arafangion: i dont know where the program located , how do i check back?
[01:47] <fong> sleeeepy
[01:47] <kbd> well, I'm off to play some tremulous :D
[01:47] <Arafangion> Zero9983: Sorry, that's the extent of our windows support. :(
[01:47] <systemd0wn_> having problems patching a driver...
[01:47] <meborc> fong - what are you trying to install?
[01:47] <Zero9983> Arafangion: but wine is under linux , i think maybe u should know
[01:47] <PatrickBic> how to install grub to boot windows?
[01:47] <kbd> oops before I do, if you are running beryl and xgl, and you press shift+backspace, does Xgl die for you too? I am getting annoyed by it... :/
[01:47] <fong> meborc, CVS.
[01:47] <systemd0wn_> i do a "patch -p1 --dry-run /patchfile.diff" and it hangs
[01:47] <systemd0wn_> any ideas?
[01:47] <meborc> fong - my eyes are weak... more coffe for me :)
[01:48] <Arafangion> meborc: How do you have your coffee?
[01:48] <fong> in a cup probably
[01:48] <kbd> ooOo yes coffee time
[01:48] <scv> now?
[01:49] <meborc> usually with a lot of milk... and sugar... so it is mostly sweet milk
[01:49] <kbd> I have mine with heavy creme and caramel syrup that usually you put on icecream
[01:49] <anders> Frogzoo, cheers that worked
[01:49] <bh> milk only :)
[01:49] <PwcrLinux> a starbucks coffee
[01:49] <Arafangion> meborc: Bleh, instant crap?
[01:49] <kbd> who has tried milk and tea?
[01:49] <meborc> probably :D
[01:49] <kbd> PwcrLinux: starbucks is not coffee
[01:49] <meborc> i have nothing else
[01:50] <scv> starbucks?
[01:50] <Latitude^> howcome amarok takes time to open? is that normal?
[01:50] <systemd0wn_> can anyone help with patching a driver?
[01:50] <PwcrLinux> kbd: yes it is, all starbucks have a coffee.. mocha and etc
[01:51] <meborc> no starbucks here in estonia
[01:51] <scv> is the name starbucks copied from the tv program?
[01:51] <Arafangion> scv: A popular US chain that sells coffee and operates as a cafe, they vary in quality but they are generally between absolute crap to a decent, but not excellent cup of coffee.
[01:51] <scv> hahaha
[01:51] <kbd> Unless you gently but forcefully agitate your coffee beans that you got from the heart of madagascar in a cool bath and lavish them over a blazing fire with essential oils from plants you've never heard of nor deserve to gaze at ... it's not coffee
[01:51] <derspankster> video card question
[01:51] <derspankster> mouse pointer is not visible
[01:51] <kbd> sorry, had to do that
[01:52] <derspankster> just a fuzzy oblong patch
[01:52] <Arafangion> kbd: I just grind my favorite bean in a conical burr grinder, and then prepare it italian style as a double-shot short black, every time.
[01:52] <OrTigaS> http://www.fugly.com/videos/7237/vista-vs-linux-ubuntu.html <--- is this true?
[01:52] <derspankster> any mouse click freezes display
[01:52] <paul_world10> cute
[01:52] <kbd> Arafangion: sounds good, I should ground my beans and boil like the french do in a pot on the stove
[01:52] <kbd> i am tired of filtered coffee
[01:52] <Arafangion> OrTigaS: If it is, it's more creative than Vista - it's a freaking *chicken* in some languages!
[01:52] <derspankster> bad card or driver issue?
[01:52] <iratik> How do i tell if a modem's line is currently off the hook - how to manually hang-up if stuck off hook via software bug ?
[01:53] <scv> vista is the future!!!
[01:53] <paul_world10> I cant work on computers because my mind is not quick enough and I get nervous around people and in classrooms
[01:53] <Arafangion> paul_world10: Learn to overclock your CPU.
[01:53] <kbd> Why is America so preoccupied with filtering EVERYTHING? We want to filter the internet, cable tv, regular tv, LIVE TV!, beer, milk, radio, and coffee!
[01:53] <scv> hahaha
[01:54] <Pici> !offtopic
[01:54] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[01:54] <Gabz> scv: wtf ?
[01:54] <Ars-dialog> hello everyone. i'm newbie in linux. i have newer version of some software than ununtu 6.10 has. for example i have newer version of gaim. how can i install it?
[01:54] <OrTigaS> he's funny
[01:54] <derspankster> I give up
[01:54] <OrTigaS> Ars-dialog:  its Ubuntu not ununtu :)
[01:55] <Gabz> Ars-dialog:  do you have a deb file for gaim ?
[01:55] <fong> ortigas, noypi ka?
[01:55] <kbd> Ars-dialog: if you have the .deb package you can dpkg -i packagename.deb
[01:55] <meborc> Ars-dialog - for gaim 2 beta 6 i would do it the easy way... try to find a deb. from the net... or use debuntu.org packages :)
[01:55] <OrTigaS> fong:  yyes
[01:55] <Arafangion> Ars-dialog: A deb file for Ubuntu 6.10, that is, not debian or fiesty :)
[01:55] <deadchip> is it recommendable to upgrade to Feisty (if you somewhat-know what you're doing) ?
[01:55] <OrTigaS> sorry  a little drunk :)
[01:55] <Ars-dialog> i don't have deb file :(
[01:56] <kbd> deadchip: it's not released yet, so probably no
[01:56] <Ars-dialog> is it the only way to install it?
[01:56] <deadchip> mm heh well
[01:56] <kbd> deadchip: don't be a hero
[01:56] <kbd> :)
[01:56] <deadchip> i used to install FC previously at Test 3 stage
[01:56] <deadchip> heh
[01:56] <deadchip> true
[01:56] <deadchip> 6.10 works well enough so, there is no real need
[01:56] <fong> ortigas, long time user of ubuntu?
[01:56] <deadchip> i'd just like to use Xorg 7.2
[01:56] <jasondotgnu> my feisty was broken in today's update, when run apt-get upgrade, it always prompt a error about wrong nice value on setup x11-common, any one can help??
[01:56] <deadchip> whcih btw is prolly another question
[01:56] <deadchip> is there Xorg 7.2 available for Edgy?
[01:56] <kbd> I am on Edgy and X is horribly unstable for certain reasons I do not know
[01:56] <Ars-dialog> can you give a link to some manuals about installing applications?
[01:56] <OrTigaS> fong just user but not long :)
[01:56] <deadchip> kbd: is it 7.1.1 or 7.2?
[01:56] <Gabz> Ars-dialog:  nope but it's the easiest way
[01:57] <Pici> jasondotgnu: try in #ubuntu+1
[01:57] <OrTigaS> still learning things
[01:57] <jasondotgnu> thanks Pici
[01:57] <deadchip> the one thing that interests me on 7.2 are possible/potential (profit?? LOL) improvements for beryl/compiz/etc/alike WMs
[01:57] <OrTigaS> and i like it
[01:57] <dreamerdude> There is 2 package managers in ubuntu right? synaptics and another one. what was the other?
[01:57] <meborc> deadchip - maybe a separate partition to test feisty... the herd 5 is stable enough for me... upgrade from earlier versions is still a bit tricky... depending on your system and soft you have installed
[01:57] <Arafangion> kbd: Using any commercial drivers?
[01:57] <kbd> deadchip: 7.1.1
[01:57] <kbd> Arafangion: fglrx
[01:57] <deadchip> kbd: ok
[01:57] <deadchip> ah
[01:57] <meborc> dreamerdude - synaptics is a GUI for apt
[01:57] <deadchip> fglrx is
[01:57] <Arafangion> kbd: That's why :)
[01:57] <deadchip> realy
[01:57] <deadchip> really
[01:57] <deadchip> really
[01:57] <deadchip> really
[01:58] <Gabz> Ars-dialog: if there is no deb file you have to complie it how this works depends on the program
[01:58] <deadchip> (no my key is not stuck)
[01:58] <deadchip> lol
[01:58] <kbd> Arafangion: user switching is broken
[01:58] <deadchip> really bad
[01:58] <deadchip> yeah
[01:58] <deadchip> kbd: you can not VT switch with fglrx
[01:58] <deadchip> it will just crash
[01:58] <dreamerdude> yeah. but im sure there was another one....started with dg i think
[01:58] <kbd> worked fine on dapper :/
[01:58] <deadchip> seriously do yourself a favour and buy an nvidia card
[01:58] <deadchip> :|
[01:58] <deadchip> that's what i did
[01:58] <deadchip> lol
[01:58] <kbd> deadchip: This is a laptop :/
[01:58] <OrTigaS> hi! why my jre still not working :( ..... i did install
[01:58] <deadchip> i am selling my radeon 9800 now
[01:58] <Pici> !enter > deadchip
[01:58] <deadchip> kbd: aah :|
[01:58] <Arafangion> kbd: Try older versions or newer versions, or even the very latest versions as they get released.
[01:58] <deadchip> Pici: :P i will refrain from now on
[01:59] <deadchip> ok let's see 7.2 for edgy
[01:59] <Arafangion> kbd: Then, the moment you find the version that works, burn it to a CD, and NEVER USE ANY OTHER VERSION!
[01:59] <kbd> deadchip: can't wait until the interchangeable sockets become standard
[01:59] <Pici> deadchip: I have no issues with fglrx and my ati based laptop
[01:59] <deadchip> hmm
[01:59] <kbd> Arafangion: hehe :)
[01:59] <Arafangion> Pici: You're lucky, that's all it comes down to.
[01:59] <deadchip> Pici: well i had the same issues as kbd
[01:59] <deadchip> also the nvidia drivers are far better for beryl/compiz like WMs
[01:59] <kbd> yes they are
[01:59] <Arafangion> As for me, if I use bigdesktop, all my opengl widgets get shifted 2" to the right.
[01:59] <deadchip> 32 Xv ports
[01:59] <kbd> deadchip: fortunately I am only borrowing this laptop
[02:00] <deadchip> indirect rendering is also properly embedded into the entire desktop and effeects
[02:00] <deadchip> kbd: heh
[02:00] <systemd0wn_> anyone be able to help patching orinoco drivers?
[02:00] <Arafangion> kbd: If you do not need bigdesktop or accelerated graphics, I recommend just using the free drivers, it's easier.
[02:00] <kbd> I think I should get some tremulous in now before I start todays work
[02:00] <kbd> Arafangion: I do need the accelerated graphics :/
[02:01] <Arafangion> kbd: Also ensure that standby works, that was broken until the VERY latest ati driver.
[02:01] <kbd> Arafangion: I do have the last version of the driver I used though, I will go back to that tonight
[02:01] <kbd> Arafangion: know the number ? 33?
[02:02] <Arafangion> kbd: Well, standby still crashes sometimes, but it _usually_ works.  It's number 8.34.8  8.33.6 is broken.
[02:02] <kbd> aha!
[02:02] <kbd> awesome
[02:02] <Arafangion> kbd: I don't do user switching, though.
[02:02] <kbd> yeah
[02:03] <kbd> Seacrest out!
[02:04] <matej> howto make a keyboard shortcut for SHOW DESKTOP?
[02:06] <deadchip> matej: try ctrl+d
[02:06] <deadchip> err
[02:06] <deadchip> ctrl+alt+d
[02:06] <deadchip> works here
[02:06] <deadchip> may be just on beryl though
[02:06] <deadchip> otherwise settings -> keyboard shortcuts
[02:07] <meborc> ctrl+alt+d works for xubuntu too by default
[02:08] <VgY> hello
[02:08] <AlexC_> hi
[02:09] <yomm> Anyone here mounting samba shares with a script after boot mind sharing with me how it's done ? I tried fstab , but allthough everything mount fine with mount -a , the shares won't automatically mount after reboot ...
[02:09] <Arafangion> yomm: I'm going to bed, but take a look at /etc/fstab
[02:09] <oggy> hmm
[02:09] <oggy> starts compiling
[02:11] <yomm> Arafangion : Goodnight ! tried fstab , but they just won't mount after reboot ..
[02:15] <BlackJack> anybody knows any opensync plugin for ipod?
[02:17] <eyalw> i compile a simple code (gcc -Wall -c hello.c -o helloBin) and it comes out not binary. and with no execute premissions ?
[02:20] <TVL|Wyvern> hi, how do I mount an NTFS-partition with read/write access?
[02:21] <abusa1> hello
[02:21] <paul_world10> cute and I am dumb
[02:21] <OrTigaS> hello too
[02:21] <paul_world10> good ridance
[02:21] <fotoflo> how do i use apt-get to find out which version of a package i have installed?
[02:22] <OrTigaS> Wyvern_: install ntfs-3g
[02:22] <Wyvern_> I tried that, but I can't find it on apt-get
[02:22] <abusa1> how would it help me to mount NTFS-partition?
[02:23] <andios> ubuntu broked my windows installation
[02:24] <ikonia_> andios doubtful, as ubuntu doesn't touch your windows data
[02:24] <Wyvern_> where can i get the ntfs-3g binary then, if it's not availible in the standard repositories?
[02:24] <OrTigaS> Wyvern_: if you installed ntfs-3g
[02:24] <ikonia_> !ntfs-3g >Wyvern_
[02:24] <andios> ikonia_: i created new partition for ubuntu, now windows boots right to some kinda of BSoD
[02:24] <abusa1> what does it mean to mount NTFS-partition?
[02:24] <OrTigaS> sudo fdisk -l | grep NTFS  <--type this
[02:24] <OrTigaS> 
[02:24] <Wyvern_> i'm _trying_ to install it, but the package is not found...
[02:25] <OrTigaS> whats is the error?
[02:25] <ikonia_> andios you may have changed the disk layout to a point where it effects windows, but the windows data is untouched by ubuntu
[02:25] <Wyvern_> E: Couldn't find package ntfs-3g
[02:25] <ikonia_> Wyvern_ what is the command you are using
[02:25] <OrTigaS> see i'm newbie... but i can help a little :)
[02:25] <Wyvern_> apt-get install ntfs-3g
[02:25] <OrTigaS> sudo apt-get ntfs-3g
[02:25] <ikonia_> Wyvern_ have you searched the repo for the correct package name
[02:25] <OrTigaS> add sudo :P
[02:25] <Wyvern_> i'm root ^^
[02:25] <scv> ...
[02:25] <OrTigaS> how???
[02:25] <andios> ikonia_: I havent broke it, I just installed ubuntu and booted several times
[02:25] <ikonia_> Wyvern_ search the repo for the correct name
[02:26] <ikonia_> andios great, so there is no problem
[02:26] <Wyvern_> apt-cache search ntfs, returned with only "ntfsprogs"
[02:26] <Wyvern_> which sounds vague
[02:26] <OrTigaS> root@root# ?
[02:26] <andios> ikonia_: there is
[02:26] <ikonia_> Wyvern_ so either you don't have the right repo's enabled or its not in the repo
[02:26] <UB`> Wyvern_ add the universe and multiverse repository
[02:27] <Wyvern_> wanna tell me how to add those repositories then?
[02:27] <mavx> Wyvern_, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009
[02:27] <ikonia_> Wyvern_ wiki has info on how to add repo's
[02:27] <OrTigaS> why my jre wont work???? :)
[02:27] <Wyvern_> ok
[02:28] <OrTigaS> someone walk me through?
[02:28] <ikonia_> OrTigaS what are you trying to do and whats the error
[02:28] <fotoflo> how do i use apt-get to find out which version of a package i have installed?
[02:28] <OrTigaS> seems ok when i installed
[02:28] <ikonia_> fotoflo dpkg -l
[02:28] <asaup> hello
[02:29] <UB`> fotoflo use dpkg -l |grep <pack>
[02:29] <OrTigaS> but the link i want to open wont work
[02:29] <ikonia_> OrTigaS I'll ask the question again. What are you trying to do and whats the problem
[02:29] <asaup> can anyone explain to me how it is possible when i am not downloading
[02:29] <fotoflo> cool thakns
[02:29] <OrTigaS> i said i want to open a link but in wont work
[02:29] <asaup> that my disk space goes to 0 mb
[02:29] <ikonia_> OrTigaS define won't link and what space
[02:29] <asaup> in front of my eyes
[02:29] <asaup> ??
[02:29] <ikonia_> asaup check /var/archives for backups
[02:30] <asaup> ok thanx
[02:30] <UB`> asaup check also for beagle log in ~/.beagle
[02:30] <asaup> ok
[02:30] <asaup> thanx
[02:31] <eyalw> i compile a simple code (gcc -Wall -c hello.c -o helloBin) and it comes out not binary. and with no execute premissions ?
[02:31] <OrTigaS> "add'l plugins are required to display  all the media on this page"  <--- thats the error
[02:31] <ikonia_> eyalw run file against the output and tell me what it says
[02:31] <UB`> and you can install baobab to analyze the disk and find where it is full
[02:31] <OrTigaS> http://www.goes.noaa.gov/guam/guamloops/guamircolor.html  ,--- heres the link
[02:32] <asaup> i have in var/backups some files called dpkg.status.1.gz and so on
[02:32] <ikonia_> asaup are they big ?
[02:32] <eyalw> bash: ./app: Permission denied
[02:32] <asaup> can i delete them without any problem??
[02:32] <eyalw> ikonia_: bash: ./app: Permission denied
[02:32] <ikonia_> eyalw thats not what I asked you to do. I asked you to run "file" against the output of gcc
[02:32] <asaup> no they are small
[02:32] <eyalw> ikonia_: ha, ok
 <ikonia_> eyalw run file against the output and tell me what it says
[02:33] <ikonia_> asaup probably not it - run du -h and look for big dirs
[02:33] <eyalw> ikonia_: ./app: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped
[02:33] <ikonia_> asaup do that from the root file system
[02:33] <ikonia_> eyalw right - so it is a 32bit executable file
[02:33] <ikonia_> so ls -la /app
[02:33] <ikonia_> oops
[02:33] <asaup> ok
[02:33] <ikonia_> eyalw so ls -la app
[02:33] <asaup> i have to do
[02:33] <asaup> run du -h
[02:33] <asaup> ??
[02:34] <ikonia_> asaup du -h . from the root file system
[02:34] <asaup> ok
[02:35] <eyalw> ikonia_: -rw-r--r-- 1 eyalw eyalw 964 2007-03-07 15:35 app
[02:35] <asaup> in the end of the output i found a 21 gb
[02:35] <asaup> but it is only a .
[02:35] <ikonia_> eyalw its not executable
[02:36] <ikonia_> asaup what ?
[02:36] <asaup> in the end
[02:36] <ikonia_> what ?
[02:36] <asaup> i see 21g
[02:36] <eyalw> yes, but why? when i compiled before, it was executable from the start
[02:36] <asaup> and a .
[02:36] <ikonia_> asaup do that command and look for big files, pipe it through | more if you have to
[02:36] <ikonia_> eyalw maybe the umask of the dir you are in
[02:36] <ikonia_> eyalw just change its permissions
[02:37] <eyalw> ikonia_: bash: ./app: cannot execute binary file
[02:37] <ikonia_> eyalw I know - you've showed me that and I've told you the problem
[02:37] <fotoflo> hey is there a way to make XMMC play lots of formats? like m4a and aac and wma?
[02:37] <eyalw> ikonia_: i know, i changed the premission...
[02:37] <ikonia_> fotoflo if you install the codecs it will play most
[02:38] <ikonia_> eyalw show me the permissions
[02:38] <eyalw> ikonia_: i -rwxr-xr-x 1 eyalw eyalw 964 2007-03-07 15:35 app
[02:38] <fotoflo> ikonia, is there a big ole codec package?
[02:38] <ikonia_> fotoflo no - lots ot little ones
[02:38] <ikonia_> eyalw run file against app again
[02:39] <eyalw> ikonia_: app: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped
[02:39] <ikonia_> eyalw now show me uname -a

[02:39] <ikonia_> fotoflo search the wiki
[02:39] <ikonia_> eyalw run ldd file and put the output in a pastebin
[02:39] <fotoflo> ikonia, which one?
[02:40] <ikonia_> fotoflo the ubuntu wiki
[02:40] <ikonia_> why google - its mentioned in the topic of the channel
[02:40] <Zaggynl> Anyone knows how to use multiple lines in a Xchat2 user command?
[02:40] <eyalw> ikonia_:         not a dynamic executable
[02:40] <Zaggynl> I tried with newlines characters, but no luck, the lines just gets cut off there
[02:41] <iltomee> hi, can someone help: X wont start, I have to install the nvidia kernel modul each time i reboot, I just installed some updates, im still using breazy, can someone help
[02:41] <IdleOne> !wma > fotoflo
[02:41] <ikonia_> eyalw I see - looks like its staticly linked against things that are not there
[02:41] <ikonia_> iltomee what is the error
[02:41] <eyalw> ikonia_: i used include stdio.h
[02:41] <ikonia_> eyalw so ?
[02:42] <eyalw> ikonia_: i dont know...
[02:42] <ikonia_> eyalw try ##c channel see if they will walk you through it as this is ubuntu support
[02:42] <iltomee> ikonia: failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel modul
[02:42] <ikonia_> eyalw I've given you the problem - you just need to work out how to resolve it
[02:42] <ikonia_> iltomee are you using the nvidia-glx package
[02:43] <surabaya> oi....
[02:43] <eyalw> ikonia_: how is it linked?
[02:43] <iltomee> ikonia: no, iam not
[02:43] <ikonia_> iltomee so where are you getting the nvidia module  ?
[02:43] <eyalw> ikonia_: its an helloWorld app : )
[02:44] <ikonia_> eyalw join ##c and debug in there
[02:44] <eyalw> k
[02:44] <eilker> aftes upgrading to edgy, splash texts are so small, anyone knows solution ?
[02:44] <iltomee> ikonia: i got a driver from the nvidia's site, which worked until the last ubuntu update, it is in /usr/src/nvidia
[02:45] <ikonia_> iltomee use the ubuntu packages - that way you know you'll get compatability
[02:45] <OrTigaS> what is the java-linux latest version?
[02:45] <ikonia_> OrTigaS look in the repo
[02:46] <OrTigaS> okay.. look look look
[02:46] <iltomee> ikonia: its quite complicated why, but i would still like to stick to the official kernel modul, any suggestions?
[02:47] <ikonia_> iltomee use the ubuntu repo's versions - thats my suggestion
[02:47] <iltomee> ikonia: all right, thx
[02:49] <amar> !upgrading firefox
[02:49] <ikonia_> amar use the firefox versions in the repo's
[02:50] <amar> ikonia_: in repo's i can find only 1.5........ i wanna upgrade it to 2.0
[02:50] <ikonia_> amar why ?
[02:50] <ikonia_> amar if you use packages outside of the repo's you risk breaking you system dependencies
[02:50] <eyalw> ikonia_: it was an object file...
[02:51] <ikonia_> eyalw super
[02:51] <ikonia_> eyalw well done
[02:51] <eyalw> ikonia_: thanks for the help
[02:51] <ikonia_> eyalw you did it on your own, well done
[02:54] <UB`> amar dist-upgrade to Feisty if you want FF 2.0
[02:54] <ikonia_> UB` or edgy
[02:54] <Pici> UB`: Could you please not suggest that, Fiesty is not released at this time
[02:55] <gordonjcp> ikonia_: indeed
[02:55] <UB`> sprry I wanna say Edgy, lapsus
[02:56] <amar_> !upgrade firefox
[02:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about upgrade firefox - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:57] <dyrne> amar: just download firefox from mozilla website and unpack it move it to your /home/user/ directory and change the launcher link on your taskbar.  basically just tar xfvz firefox.tar.gz; mv directory/ ~/
[02:57] <dyrne> amar: i wouldnt mess with repo version might cause more problems than its worth if you mess it up
[02:57] <amar_> dyrne: can u plz explain me abt launcher link??
[02:58] <ikonia_> amar_ I'll say it again - use the ubuntu repo's if you don't know what your doing, if you do know what you're doing you wouldn't be asking ubotu what to do. You risk breaking your system dependencies
[02:58] <eilker> aftes upgrading to edgy, splash texts are so small, anyone knows solution ?
[02:58] <eilker> how can make it bigger ?
[02:58] <Other`> hello
[02:59] <amar_> ikonia: i'm just experimenting dude....... even if it breaks, i don't mind to install it again...
[02:59] <dyrne> amar_: i havent used gnome in a while but i believe you should be able to right click on the firefox button and change the path to the executable from firefox to /home/username/firefox/firefox
[02:59] <Other`> how to burn iso image under ubuntu 6.06 livecd?
[02:59] <ikonia_> amar_ good luck then

[02:59] <amar_> dyrne: i have done dat already....... but it didn't work.....??
[03:00] <Frogzoo> Other`: do you have a cd reader + cd burner?
[03:00] <UB`> Other` you need a cd burner different then the cd reader you use with the live cd
[03:00] <Other`> yes
[03:00] <ikonia_> amar_ experiment
[03:00] <Other`> i have
[03:00] <ikonia_> amar_ doesn't matter if you break it - just play around
[03:00] <Other`> UB` so ? :P
[03:01] <amar_> ikonia: otherwise we can't learn....... rite??? BTW i'm newbie to linux world
[03:01] <Frogzoo> Other`: cool, you should be able to boot with the cd in the readonly drive, right click the iso file & burn
[03:01] <ikonia_> amar_ great, so get playing
[03:01] <asaup> ikonia i cant find the problem
[03:01] <asaup> and i am now in 0 mb
[03:01] <Other`> hmm
[03:01] <Other`> maybe "D
[03:01] <Other`> ;D
[03:01] <asaup> of space
[03:01] <UB`> Other` so I think you cannot with same cd reader/burner
[03:01] <Other`> i don't try it :P
[03:01] <Other`> thx cu
[03:01] <asaup> any other idea ??
[03:01] <mono> Does anyone know how to write mixedmode cds?
[03:01] <amar_> ikonia: thanx : )
[03:02] <ikonia_> asaup du -h shows you all the files on the machine and their size - either look for massive files or lots of little ones in the same dir

[03:02] <ikonia_> asaup are you using a bittorrent client ?
[03:02] <n0rus> How do I create a directory that will not be accessible by root? I have created a regular account. Created a directory. Set the permisions to 700 but it's still accessible by root
[03:02] <asaup> i saw
[03:02] <asaup> but no result
[03:02] <ikonia_> n0rus you can't
[03:02] <ikonia_> n0rus root owns everything
[03:02] <n0rus> how come it works in debian then?
[03:03] <cwill1> I've got a fresh edgy install, console only.   When the computer boots, the network is configured, but it doesn't work.  If I then ifconfig it with the same configuration, it'll start working.  ifconfig eth0 has exactly the same output before and after though.  What gives?!
[03:03] <ikonia_> n0rus no it doesn't
[03:03] <n0rus> ikonia_, yes it does
[03:03] <Frogzoo> n0rus: you can't lock root out
[03:03] <grim76> I am attempting to use hosts.deny to block access to the daemon vsftpd.  Unfortunately it is not allowing me to block access it seems as though vsftpd is ignoring the hosts.deny file anyone know if this is true or if there is something that I am doing wrong?
[03:03] <flake> how do I grep to see if i have php installed
[03:03] <n0rus> Frogzoo: you need a proof?
[03:03] <cwill1> n0rus: yes :)
[03:03] <ikonia_> n0rus wouldn't mind
[03:04] <n0rus> one sec
[03:04] <n0rus> Where can I paste?
[03:04] <ikonia_> flake dpkg -l | grep -i php
[03:04] <ikonia_> n0rusin in a pastebin please
[03:04] <cwill1> n0rus: make sure it's actually user 0, not just a normal user called root
[03:04] <n0rus> ok
[03:04] <flake> ty
[03:05] <Wyvern_> any way to get some kind of "progress bar" or percentage when copying large amounts of data with cp in a shell?
[03:05] <mono> Does anyone know how to write mix mode cds?
[03:05] <ikonia_> Wyvern_ not for cp - but for things like rsync yes
[03:05] <cwill1> Wyvern_: scp gives one I believe
[03:05] <UB`> cp -v
[03:05] <ikonia_> Wyvern_ scp too
[03:06] <Wyvern_> ah
[03:06] <Wyvern_> you can scp from yourself, to yourself?
[03:06] <Wyvern_> smart.

[03:06] <nickthorley> hi all - i would like to have a server download mail from 20 pop boxes and presume fetchmail is the best tool for this - however how would i get around the problem of one of the mail users downloading a large mail and the users lower than this in the list being stopped from downloading mails until the first has finished
[03:06] <Vilhelms> Hey, I'm having an issue where 1 out of 3 boots it crashes in the middle of booting and I can't figure out how to debug the problem. If I boot in recovery mode it always seems to boot fine, but sometimes it just crashes about 1/4 of the way on the progress bar without any error or display. It just stops doing anything. Could anyone point me as to where I could find logs or something to help debug the problem? I tried looking online but couldn't find anythi
[03:06] <Vilhelms> ng :(
[03:07] <ikonia_> nickthorley fetchmail gets all mail in the config - then the users get mail from your box
[03:07] <Chaps> up all night with a new Cing LG and BT ;~
[03:07] <asaup> is sshd a backup tool
[03:07] <Chaps> ?help? - will this be easier with Edgy - cause I have a 6.06 disk???
[03:07] <ikonia_> asaup no
[03:07] <asaup> ok
[03:07] <cwill1> sshd is a commandline remote access tool
[03:07] <nickthorley> ikonia_: i understand how it works but if the config has 30 users - is there a way to prevent one user holding up the rest if a large mail is being received
[03:08] <ikonia_> nickthorley spawn more than one fetchmail
[03:08] <cwill1> Vilhelms: boot it up normally, except change the boot line:  get rid of splash and quiet
[03:08] <uber_newb> hello fellows, trying to set up a 32bit chroot environment in ubuntu edgy using the following howto"http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24575&highlight=32+bit+chroot", i get to step 5 and when i try to execute dchroot -d i get the following message "E: default: Chroot not found"
[03:08] <nickthorley> ikonia_: is that possible to run many versions of fetchmail at once
[03:08] <ikonia_> uber_newb you don't have the chroot command in your path - or you're not specifing the chroot path to chroot into
[03:08] <ikonia_> nickthorley no idea
[03:09] <n0rus> pastebin is quite overloaded. here's on my sevrer: http://deformica.com/tmp/debian.txt
[03:09] <Chaps> can't even pair them ?!!?
[03:09] <asaup> is postmaster a backup tool
[03:09] <asaup> ??
[03:09] <Vilhelms> cwill1: Alright, I will try that. Thanks :)
[03:09] <cwill1> !backup
[03:09] <ubotu> There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning
[03:09] <cwill1> asaup: ^^^^
[03:09] <ikonia_> asaup no
[03:10] <ikonia_> asaup forget backup tools and look for the large files !
[03:10] <Wyvern_> actually, "scp file location" copied the file, but without any kind of progress bar. :(
[03:10] <ikonia_> Wyvern_ you need flags
[03:10] <ikonia_> potentially
[03:10] <cwill1> Wyvern_: that -v option might have been what you're looking for
[03:10] <uber_newb> /usr/bin/dchroot -d
[03:10] <uber_newb>  gives me garbage too
[03:10] <ikonia_> uber_newb dchroot ?
[03:11] <ikonia_> uber_newb gives you garabage
[03:11] <cwill1> has anyone ever heard of ifup kinda-not-really bringing a network interface up?
[03:11] <ikonia_> uber_newb if you can't be boethered disscussing the problem in detail, I can't be bothered helping
[03:11] <cwill1> ifconfig shows it being configured,
[03:11] <Wyvern_> actually, cp -v works just as fine as scp -v
[03:11] <uber_newb> what the heck ikonia...
[03:11] <cwill1> but it doesn't actually work until I ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.99 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
[03:11] <ikonia_> cwill1 use mii-tool or something like that to see the status
[03:11] <Chaps> help with drake BT - Cing. gprs - or even pairing???
[03:12] <Wyvern_> but thanks anyway :)
[03:12] <uber_newb> here's the howto i'm using, "http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24575&highlight=32+bit+chroot"
[03:12] <n0rus> so, any ideas?
[03:12] <ikonia_> uber_newb "gives me garbage" - how can we debug your problem from that
[03:12] <cwill1> ikonia_:  sweet, thanks, I'll try that
[03:12] <ikonia_> Wyvern_ yes cwill1 suggested that, I had no idea it exited in cp
[03:12] <uber_newb> e: default: Chroot not found, is the response
[03:12] <ikonia_> uber_newb and what is the command you're using
[03:13] <ikonia_> (pay attention to captial letters)
[03:13] <uber_newb> dchroot -d
[03:13] <Wyvern_> too bad the nice progress bar you get when scp'ing to a remote host doesn't work locally tho. :(
[03:13] <Onimae> I just set up a home partition and now whenever I boot, the startup process "/scripts/top" or some such takes an eternity. Anyone else have this problem?
[03:13] <ikonia_> Onimae /scripts /top ?
[03:13] <Onimae> Something like that.
[03:14] <ikonia_> Onimae get exact details if you want help
[03:14] <soundray> Wyvern_: if you use 'localhost:/path/' as the target, scp will behave as if it was copying to a remote host.
[03:14] <Onimae> -_-
[03:14] <cwill1> ikonia_:  mii-tool and mii-diag gives exactly the same output after ifup eth0 and ifconfig'ing manually, but the interface only works after the manual ifconfig
[03:14] <Wyvern_> ..yeah, just thought of that. :)
[03:14] <ikonia_> cwill1 thats very strange
[03:14] <cwill1> I'll say
[03:14] <ikonia_> cwill1 try runing the network init script manually and see how that behaves
[03:14] <asaup> when i make the du -h command the last size that i see is the total space of the folder or of one file
[03:15] <asaup> ??
[03:15] <cwill1> i.e., /etc/init.d/networking?
[03:15] <ikonia_> asaup I've told you - pipe it through more ( | more ) and read the output
[03:15] <ikonia_> cwill1 yeah
[03:15] <asaup> how can i do this more
[03:15] <soundray> asaup: total
[03:15] <asaup> ??
[03:15] <ikonia_> asaup I've told you 3 times
[03:15] <ikonia_> asaup you're on your own
[03:15] <asaup> i am soory
[03:15] <Onimae> Ikonia: The line from the boot screen is "Running /scripts/init-top"
[03:15] <ikonia_> Onimae what version of ubuntu
[03:16] <Wyvern_> this is odd tho... I'm copying _locally_ at a speed of 8 MB/s
[03:16] <ikonia_> Onimae as I'm not aware of any /scripts dir
[03:16] <Onimae> Ikonia: Edgy
[03:16] <ikonia_> Onimae must be something to do with upstart
[03:16] <ikonia_> Onimae I'm not really on top of upstart at the moment
[03:16] <IdleOne> asaup, du -h | more
[03:16] <soundray> ikonia_: mind if I pm you?
[03:16] <ikonia_> !upstart >Onimae
[03:16] <ikonia_> soundray sure
[03:16] <ikonia_> soundray I'm on a dodgy client so it scrolls fast so I may ask you to repeate

[03:17] <eilker> edgy here
[03:18] <cwill1> ikonia_:  /etc/init.d/networking restart didn't do anything differently (no errors either);  I did notice that it calls ifup and ifdown internally though
[03:18] <uber_newb> i feel dumb now... it wasn't installed
[03:18] <uber_newb> phew... 3 hours wasted
[03:18] <Afroman> Hello folks
[03:18] <Afroman> I have a question
[03:18] <cwill1> ikonia_:  I do have to nics in that machine;  the one I'm leaving unconfigured, but do you think there's a chance it's somehow getting the two confused?
[03:18] <cwill1> to=two
[03:18] <ikonia_> cwill1 sorry - one moment
[03:19] <cwill1> np
[03:19] <cwill1> thanks for the help :)
[03:19] <Chaps> help BT in drake ne1?!
[03:19] <Afroman> What's the difference between kubuntu, edubuntu or xubuntu?
[03:19] <IdleOne> !ask | Afroman
[03:19] <ubotu> Afroman: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:19] <IdleOne> Afroman, the window manager
[03:19] <IdleOne> kubuntu=kde xubuntu=xfce
[03:20] <Afroman> so the interface is different?
[03:20] <IdleOne> yes
[03:20] <ks1> IdleOne, the desktop environment you mean :)
[03:20] <IdleOne> ks1, yeah whatever

[03:20] <eilker> Segmentation fault in  kiba-dock , any experience ?
[03:20] <Chaps> did i mention i was trying to do it off the live cd - guess i have to actually format a drive?
[03:21] <Chaps> i just cant get the box to enter the code i set as I pair from the phone
[03:21] <IdleOne> Afroman, if you have a old machine I suggest xubuntu if your machine is new and fast try out kde I prefer good old ubuntu with gnome
[03:22] <Chaps> can I just stick a code in some .file for good ?
[03:22] <andios> hey
[03:22] <andios> my boot-sector has blown up
[03:22] <ikonia_> cwill1 be with you in a minute or so
[03:23] <andios> grub has dissapeared
[03:23] <IdleOne> andios, that's gotta hurt
[03:23] <andios> can i fix it
[03:23] <IdleOne> !grub | andios
[03:23] <ubotu> andios: 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
[03:23] <Chaps> am i just in lag-hell?
[03:23] <IdleOne> Chaps, no
[03:23] <andios> i installed windows first and then ubuntu
[03:23] <cwill1> ikonia_: np, I'm just trying stuff
[03:23] <IdleOne> Chaps, try keeping your questions in one line with all relevant info
[03:23] <Chaps> thanks - ill just do drugs and wait my turn

[03:24] <patrick_> has anyone connected a creative zen v to their ubuntu machine?
[03:24] <patrick_> i cant get mine to work with gnomad2
[03:24] <IdleOne> Chaps, would also help if you made some sense and not assume that we have any idea what you are talking about
[03:25] <omeil> wow 1030 users :)
[03:25] <IdleOne> omeil, yeah it's slow today
[03:25] <IdleOne> 
[03:25] <Chaps> ok ok - Im out of order - I want to pair my ubuntu box to a BT phone
[03:25] <derspankster> I've connected a Creative MuVo
[03:25] <CheshireViking> patrick_, I've not used a "zen v", but I am able to connect my "Nomad III" using gnomad2
[03:25] <soundray> omeil: next month after the release, we will top 1400
[03:26] <omeil> nice
[03:27] <omeil> say how do i change my colour? from 32bit to 24?
[03:27] <patrick_> CheshireViking : yeah gnomad2 isnt made for the zen v but ive read online on a few forms that people have done it, yet i cant seem to get it to work correctly...when i plug the zen v in ubuntu doesnt recognize it
[03:27] <cwill1> ikonia_: nvm;  still don't have it solved, but the weirdness is gone:  the default route is some weird localnet instead of 192.168.0.0
[03:27] <omeil> can't seem to find the area to change it
[03:27] <devilsadvocate> how can i increase my mouse pointer speed
[03:27] <knovak> Can anyone help me get my microphone input to work in Edgy? (SB Audigy using CA0106)
[03:27] <cwill1> omeil: /etc/X11/xorg.conf, change the default bitdepth in the top of the screens section

[03:28] <Chaps> while booting from a 6.06 live cd - I tried to pair my BT phone to a usb (kensington) ---to LG phone (Cing) ? --- can't see the dialogue box to enter the pairing code on the ubuntu end
[03:29] <anonymeeee> Good Morning!!
[03:29] <Chaps> is there a .place to store pairing info like that code?
[03:29] <asaup> thank you i resolved the problem
[03:29] <asaup> :D
[03:29] <soundray> Chaps: not sure what you mean by "pairing"
[03:30] <Chaps> bluetooth pairing 2 devices
[03:30] <dyrne> knovak: its probably just a matter of running alsamixer and fooling with the settings.
[03:30] <knovak> what package is Alsamixer in, because whenever i try running it, it says command not foudn
[03:30] <anonymeeee> how do I uninstall ubuntu?
[03:30] <soundray> Chaps: the "Bluetooth" keyword was missing from your posts so far. It helps to start at the beginning when you describe a problem.
[03:31] <Chaps> i see the ubuntu machine from my phone - i start - i enter a few numbers for a code - but on the ubuntu end nothing 'pops-up'?
[03:31] <anonymeeee> I want to leave it on this computer and take it off another
[03:31] <Chaps> BT?!!?
[03:31] <meborc> anonymeeee - format the partition it is on
[03:31] <knovak> anonymeeee, why do you want to uninstall it?
[03:31] <knovak> oh
[03:31] <soundray> Chaps: British Telecom in my book.
[03:31] <mudd1> hi everyone
[03:31] <dyrne> knovak: you have alsa-utils installed?
[03:31] <Chaps> I luv u guys - my fault
[03:31] <anonymeeee> meborc: will that get rid of grub?
[03:32] <knovak> I do now
[03:32] <Chaps> 1st ? - would it be better to install edgy for this sorta connection (BT-gprs) or BT-BT
[03:32] <soundray> Chaps: I can't help you much -- I've once managed to pair up a Bluetooth GPS, but it was a matter of calling some programs - no popups.
[03:32] <dhiraj> anonymeee:u wont nid to remove grub in my opinion
[03:32] <mudd1> anyone familiar with setting up wifi?
[03:33] <soundray> Chaps: I ran that GPS off dapper, but edgy's bluetooth capabilities have moved on a bit as far as I know.

[03:35] <apokryphos> omeil: please take a look at the FAQ <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions> as linked to in the channel /topic.
[03:35] <knovak> well I dont see what I should be doing in Alsamixer
[03:35] <soundray> omeil: install build-essential
[03:35] <knovak> all my capture bars are at 100%
[03:35] <omeil> k
[03:35] <apokryphos> knovak: but are they unmuted?
[03:35] <knovak> I cant even tell if they are muted
[03:35] <knovak> I'm hitting M
[03:35] <knovak> but nothing is changing
[03:36] <apokryphos> knovak: the 00 at the bottom of the bar changes to MM when it's muted
[03:36] <apokryphos> knovak: also see /msg ubotu sound
[03:36] <mudd1> I followed several tutorials but none of them worked. I can set up wifi manually... somehow but using /etc/network/interfaces... no way :/
[03:36] <knovak> !ubotu sound | knovak
[03:36] <knovak> aww
[03:36] <knovak> yay
[03:37] <apokryphos> knovak: /msg the bot when it's a factoid for yourself
[03:37] <knovak> Alright
[03:37] <knovak> nothing is muted by the way
[03:37] <cedricsam> #bugs
[03:37] <knovak> IEC958 is, but thats an output I believe
[03:38] <mudd1> and weird stuff happens. Like iwconfig showing the essid I specified under "Nickname", not under "ESSID" where it belongs
[03:38] <mudd1> does that sound familiar to anybody?
[03:38] <mudd1> I should mention I'm trying to use wpa_supplicant
[03:39] <soundray> !wireless > mudd1, please read the private message from ubotu
[03:40] <omeil> Must say feels weird not running antivirus software
[03:40] <soundray> omeil: like shaking of shackles that you've worn for years?
[03:41] <soundray> *off
[03:41] <omeil> yup
[03:42] <omeil> its just that i don't have that feeling that im in a constant battle lol
[03:43] <omeil> the only downside to linux is game compatibility.
[03:43] <pax> you're still in a battle, your new enemy is bugs and there's no 'software' to fight it.
[03:44] <soundray> omeil: there are fantastic games on Linux. Have you tried Compile-A-Kernel?
[03:44] <omeil> although some companies are starting to release games with both linux and windows. like savage 2 they are going to release a linux and win verson on the same date
[03:44] <omeil> compile a kernel is a game?
[03:45] <soundray> omeil: it can be, depending on how you frame the experience for yourself ;)
[03:45] <OuZo_> hi all, how can i make open office auto spell check like in MS word? thanks

[03:50] <Vilhelms> I'm having a problem with booting. About 1 of 3 boots it crashes so I removed the quiet and booted and it stopped after this message "shpchp: Standard Hot Plug PCI Controller Driver version : 0.4" Does anyone have any idea why it would crash after that message when booting?
[03:52] <Vilhelms> I'm having a problem with booting. About 1 of 3 boots it crashes so I removed the quiet and booted and it stopped after this message "shpchp: Standard Hot Plug PCI Controller Driver version : 0.4" Does anyone have any idea why it would crash after that message when booting? It started crashing after I updated to Kernel 2.6.20 but stopped using it because my ATI drivers don't work on it. I am running 2.6.17-11 like before I did the update.
[03:53] <bulmer> Vilhelms: drivers could be faulty? loading modules to kernel that kernel does not like, tend to panic
[03:53] <Vilhelms> bulmer: Then what could I do for it?
[03:53] <Vilhelms> bulmer: do I need that module? could I just disable it?
[03:54] <hcook> ok, this is weird.
[03:54] <CalJohn> ack, anyone quickly know how to stop images being resized to fit the window by default in firefox2?
[03:54] <bulmer> Vilhelms: yeah i guess, possibly remove it from the modules it installed at boot time
[03:54] <hcook> for some reason update manager keeps telling me my password is wrong....I'm using the same password that works fine with sudo...I just checked.
[03:55] <m4n> how do I reprobe for network interfaces
[03:55] <Vilhelms> bulmer: How do I do that?
[03:55] <m4n> i enabled wireless
[03:55] <m4n> but still its not working
[03:55] <mx-zoom> hcook: do you have separate pwds for root and sudo?
[03:56] <Vilhelms> m4n: does it detect your network interface? you could do "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart"
[03:56] <bulmer> Vilhelms: i dont know off hand on ubuntu, there is a file something akin to modules.conf
[03:56] <m4n> Vilhelms: no, it has not detected the interface
[03:56] <Vilhelms> m4n: is your interface showing up in dmesg?
[03:56] <hcook> mx-zoom: i certainly didn't set any seperate password...and update manager worked fine when i ran it yesterday
[03:56] <m4n> Vilhelms: let me check that.. but it should be because it was working earlier
[03:57] <Lacerta> how do i format my usb-drive?
[03:57] <Vilhelms> m4n: How are you loading the interface? through ndiswrapper or do you have native drivers?
[03:57] <bulmer> Vilhelms: go see /etc/modprobe.d/aliases and find out which is the corresponding module for that shpd?
[03:57] <ddave> hi guys
[03:57] <ddave> i am new to ubuntu
[03:57] <m4n> Vilhelms: oops I just switched on the wireless thing in laptop
[03:57] <mx-zoom> hcook: did you reboot after having this problem?
[03:57] <hcook> mx-zoom: no...why?
[03:58] <mx-zoom> hcook: dunno... sometimes starnge things happen
[03:58] <Vilhelms> m4n: Does it work now then O.o? lol
[03:58] <ddave> can any body help me out with this problem on WTP eclipse version
[03:58] <hcook> hmf
[03:58] <hcook> ok, i'll be back.
[03:58] <m4n> Vilhelms: it used to work. only thing is, if I enable the wireless after bootup, it wont list the device
[03:59] <Vilhelms> m4n: Are you enabling it from System > Administration > Networking?
[03:59] <navegaweb> hellou baby
[03:59] <navegaweb> que os kontairs
[03:59] <igknighted> ddave: whats your issue w/ eclipse... i /might/ be able to help
[03:59] <Vilhelms> bulmer: There is no shpd or anything with shp
[03:59] <m4n> Vilhelms: nope, i just enabled the wireless switch in laptop - i switched it ON
[03:59] <ddave> thanks ignighted
[03:59] <ddave> The issue is this
[04:00] <Vilhelms> m4n: Do iwconfig and see if your card shows up
[04:00] <ddave> My eclipse is not starting on my drapper 6.06 lts
[04:00] <m4n> Vilhelms: okay
[04:00] <chino> is hte live cd for kubuntu have the same stuff as the ubuntu live cd ?
[04:00] <andios> my computer says Invalid Partition Table when im trying to boot any OS
[04:00] <m4n> Vilhelms: no, it is not showing up
[04:00] <ddave> what i have done is that I have downloaded the eclipse version 3.2 (wtp ) from eclipse.org webstire
[04:00] <andios> what does that mean?
[04:00] <andios> there is no grup or anything
[04:00] <bulmer> Vilhelms: i dont know where ubuntu puts the equivalent of modprobe.conf
[04:00] <Surb> what can I use to resize my / partition?
[04:00] <Vilhelms> m4n: Try doing dmesg | grep wlan and see if anything shows up
[04:01] <igknighted> ddave: as far as I know, eclipse is in the repo
[04:01] <m4n> Vilhelms: if I do dmesg | grep -i wireless, it is showing the card details
[04:01] <igknighted> ddave: you can get it easily by "sudo apt-get install eclipse"
[04:01] <ddave> no I can't use the ubuntu one as I need WTP(WebToolsPlatform) with it. and it is available at eclipse.org
[04:02] <igknighted> ddave: did it install properely when you installed it (or at least not spit out any major errors?
[04:02] <Pici> ddave: you can install additional modules for Eclipse using the built in update thingy (I dont have it installed here so I cant check)
[04:02] <DigitalSpaghetti> hey can anyone help me with this problem I've posted the forum:  http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=378307
[04:02] <Vilhelms> m4n: Then I'm not sure why it wouldnt' be showing up :( I'm sorry
[04:02] <DigitalSpaghetti> it's urgent as I can't get into my Ubuntu :(
[04:03] <m4n> Vilhelms: okay, thank you. no problem. I will play with this. let me see :)
[04:03] <m4n> Vilhelms: thanks for trying out
[04:03] <Vilhelms> m4n: Alright :) good luck
[04:03] <Vilhelms> I'm having a problem with booting.

[04:04] <dyrne> DigitalSpaghetti: can you rm -fr ~/.g*   then try to login again?
[04:04] <soundray> DigitalSpaghetti: wine has probably filled your disk with logs
[04:04] <soundray> dyrne: do not recommend this please
[04:04] <soundray> DigitalSpaghetti: please don't use dyrne's suggestion unless you know exactly what it does
[04:05] <dyrne> soundray: yeah that should have come with a caveat sorry
[04:05] <DigitalSpaghetti> removes everything from my .gnome directory in my home dir
[04:05] <mudd1> soundray, thanks for the link, unfortunately I already knew most of it... I'm trying one more thing though, bbiab
[04:05] <DigitalSpaghetti> yea, i don't think i'll do that
[04:05] <soundray> DigitalSpaghetti: no, it removes the .gnome directory itself and every other directory that starts with .g -- for example your Gimp settings, if you have any.
[04:06] <DigitalSpaghetti> soundray: yea, that too :)  i know it would be a bad idea
[04:06] <Toma-> DigitalSpaghetti: run 'mv .gnome gnome-backup'
[04:06] <igknighted> @ddave: out of curiosity, do you have sun's java installed?  Or are you running eclipse on the open source implementation?
[04:06] <Toma-> and do the same for .gconf
[04:06] <soundray> DigitalSpaghetti: 'df -h' -- any full filesystems?
[04:07] <DigitalSpaghetti> soundray: don't know, don't have my laptop with me
[04:07] <DigitalSpaghetti> but i need suggestions when i get home tonight
[04:07] <DigitalSpaghetti> (since i can't get on the internet)
[04:08] <Toma-> DigitalSpaghetti: run 'startx' in the terminal and check the debugging messages
[04:08] <amar> i have installed ubuntu 5.10....... i have ubuntu 6.06 in cd........... can i upgrade my ubuntu 5.10 to 6.06 using dis cd...... can anyone plz help me??
[04:08] <cwill1> question:  are tabs legal in fstab?
[04:08] <DigitalSpaghetti> Toma - i can't run a console
[04:08] <Toma-> DigitalSpaghetti: also, run 'cat ~/.xsession-errors'
[04:08] <DigitalSpaghetti> the only way i can get command line is to boot in using recovery kernal
[04:08] <Toma-> DigitalSpaghetti: why not?
[04:08] <igknighted> cwill1: should be fine, yeah
[04:08] <Pici> DigitalSpaghetti: Can you do a ctrl-alt-f1 to get to a tty session?
[04:08] <cwill1> igknighted: are they sufficient?
[04:08] <yeti> amar: you can (add the CD as a repository to apt). you will have to download some upgrades from the internet too, though
[04:09] <DigitalSpaghetti> Toma - because as soon as i type in my username and password at login, my screen just freezes
[04:09] <dyrne> DigitalSpaghetti: getty isnt running alt-ctrl-f2 ?
[04:09] <soundray> DigitalSpaghetti: sounds typical of a full disk.
[04:09] <Toma-> DigitalSpaghetti: ok, so you ge to GDM?
[04:09] <DigitalSpaghetti> GMD?
[04:09] <Toma-> no, GDM :D
[04:09] <DigitalSpaghetti> GDM?
[04:09] <amar> yeti: shld i change anything in the source list......... apart frm adding cd in repos
[04:09] <Toma-> its tyhe login screen.
[04:09] <DigitalSpaghetti> yes
[04:09] <DigitalSpaghetti> i get to the login screen
[04:09] <igknighted> cwill1: I use them and have never had any issues.  It's all formatting for your eye.  You could use one space between everything and the computer wouldn't care, but it would look ugly and be hard to read
[04:09] <soundray> DigitalSpaghetti: if you run 'ls -srS /var/log' in recovery mode, it'll show you whether it's a massive log file that clogs up your filesystem
[04:10] <Toma-> DigitalSpaghetti: choose a "failsafe terminal" as the session and login
[04:10] <DigitalSpaghetti> i've tried logging in using Gnome and Gnome failsafe mode
[04:10] <cwill1> igknighted: the reason I ask:  using only tabs on a cifs line makes upstart not wait for that to be mounted in waitfornfs
[04:10] <ddave> igknighted: i am using sun's java and eclipse from eclipse.org webstie
[04:10] <cwill1> igknighted: I know this because I just banged my head against it for the last hour
[04:11] <DigitalSpaghetti> one thing i do know is i managed to get into x from console mode
[04:11] <DigitalSpaghetti> so it does seem to boot up
[04:11] <DigitalSpaghetti> just won't start gnome
[04:11] <Toma-> you wouldnt be able to start X with a full disk
[04:11] <igknighted> cwill1: haha, I see.  Well, to be on the safe side back it up and restart with tabs and if its no go (and I don't see that being an issue) then you can always replace with the original
[04:12] <DigitalSpaghetti> well i'll try these things tonight
[04:12] <dyrne> DigitalSpaghetti: most common cant login from gdm problems ive seen are either a profile issue or as soundray said disk space
[04:12] <Toma-> and you'd get ALOT of very angry errors at boot
[04:13] <DigitalSpaghetti> i didn't really see any errors on boot
[04:13] <igknighted> ddave: is java working properly?  what is the output of "java --version"?
[04:13] <DigitalSpaghetti> everything seems normal up until the point i actually try log in
[04:13] <DigitalSpaghetti> then everything just freezes
[04:13] <dyrne> DigitalSpaghetti: id df -h next time you login though. ive walked alot of HR people through similar problems
[04:14] <andios> Please, I need help in fixing MBR
[04:14] <DigitalSpaghetti> 'id df -h'  ? or 'df -h'  ?
[04:14] <IdleOne> df -h
[04:14] <mavx> df -h
[04:14] <DigitalSpaghetti> ok
[04:14] <IdleOne> id=i'd
[04:14] <Toma-> DigitalSpaghetti: ok, best bet it to get to GDM, then hit Ctrl_Alt_F2 or 1 then log into a terminal. from there, use 'mv' to move your .gnome folders and .gconf to something like .gnome-backup
[04:14] <arrow> I'm trying to make the terminal show all users logged in, does anyone know if this is the right command "bash$ who"?
[04:15] <Pici> arrow: just type who
[04:15] <arrow> Pici: thx
[04:16] <igknighted> DigitalSpaghetti: I had a very similar issue once (using KDE) where I could get to the login and as soon as I logged in (and the system logged my login, so it went through) I got put back to the login screen.  unfortunately I never did find the solution and reinstalled, although I tend to do that a lot anyways so I didnt search for an answer very hard
[04:16] <amar> i have installed ubuntu 5.10... now i wanna upgrade it to 6.06 using cd....??
[04:16] <amar> can anyone plz explain me??
[04:17] <cwill1> igknighted: I hate it when I get all excited like that.  I usually means I'm wrong :p
[04:17] <drin> !upgrade | amar
[04:17] <ubotu> amar: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[04:17] <drin> hehe :D
[04:17] <cwill1> igknighted: just happened to work right that time :p
[04:17] <drin> love the bot
[04:18] <igknighted> cwill1: haha, well, I don't mind being wrong when things work, its when it goes the other way I get frustrated ;-)
[04:18] <cwill1> igknighted: well, it only worked once :p
[04:18] <amar> drin: i wanna upgrade it to frm cd whch i have downloaded.... shld i change the source list?? i have added cd in repos..
[04:18] <cwill1> just got lucky with the boot order, and I wasn't actually depending on nfswait in my script (dumb dumb dumb)
[04:19] <igknighted> cwill1: ahh
[04:19] <DigitalSpaghetti> well thanks guys.  i'm gonna try these later
[04:21] <igknighted> has anyone here used Envy before?  I've heard so much about it that I figured I'd try it so I removed my nvidia drivers and gave it a go, but now the nvidia kernel module can't be found.  Any idea on how to repair what it did?
[04:23] <arn_> can anyone tell me why i get this error? ----- autoheader: error: AC_CONFIG_HEADERS not found
[04:23] <igknighted> arn_: what do you do that causes this error?  when do you see it, boot?
[04:24] <arn_> i was installing a module. i ran "./autogen.sh" and i got that error. so i couldnt compile and install the module
[04:25] <igknighted> arn_: do you have the build-essential package installed, and any other packages the module may need?
[04:26] <arn_> igknighted, i have build-essential installed
[04:26] <Symmetria> heh any smart person here feel like giving me bash syntax for a loop that counts from 60 to 118?
[04:26] <arn_> igknighted, i have other modules installed too
[04:26] <B|00d|u5T> what up all
[04:26] <B|00d|u5T> anybody alive?
[04:27] <igknighted> arn_: what is the module for?  By the looks of that error you are missing header files, so I wonder if the source you are trying to build the module from is no good
[04:27] <cwillu> Symmetria: one sec
[04:27] <B|00d|u5T> im tryin to install radeon 9550 drivers and i keep getting the same problem, btw i have read EVERYTHIGN and kept retrying and its stil giveing me problems it wont let me do some of the steps on the site http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problems_with_fglrx#Perpetual_Mesa_GLX_Indirect_on_Debian

[04:33] <igknighted> arn_: it looks like it configured properly, you just need to type the last two commands it wants (make && sudo make install)
[04:33] <arn_> igknighted, if i try to "make" i get this---------- make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
[04:34] <jussi01> arn_, what are you trying to build?
[04:35] <pinchmesh> arn you're in the wrong directory
[04:35] <pinchmesh> is all
[04:35] <igknighted> what happens if you run these two commands: "slocate --update" and then "slocate aclocal.m4"
[04:35] <pinchmesh> there's no Makefile
[04:36] <igknighted> arn_: also, do you have libtool installed >= 1.3?

[04:41] <Crazytom> ok, here i go.  I just installed ubuntu a few days ago and i can't get my wireless card('s) to work.  they show up in the networking gui, ifconfig and  iwconfig, but iwlist say's no such device.  they showed up before i installed ndiswrapper but they didn't work so i installed it too.  I tried to force it to connect with iwconfig eth2 ap any but no dice.  I'm using a broadcom (built-in) and a linksys wrt54g v 3 .  the network
[04:41] <Crazytom> is not encrypted and it works with windows.  can someone please give me a hand?  thanks in advance
[04:41] <sjust1216> lo is up and running
[04:41] <B|00d|u5T> jussi01 you mean when i was doing it through terminal b4?
[04:42] <jussi01> no, now, just download the deb from that site, then double click
[04:42] <jussi01> then select envy from the menu
[04:43] <B|00d|u5T> hold up i think i did that
[04:44] <tim___> why does evolution-exchange force me to use OWA.  I am connected via VPN and I have direct access to my exchange server.

[04:54] <frause> but any good ideas abot the problem?
[04:54] <mudd1> it's a bit annoying but well, works more or less for the moment. Next problem: I'm trying to upgrade from 5.10 to edgy but I'm getting an error message that should translate to something like "trying to overwrite '/sbin/vol_id' which is in packet udev, too"
[04:54] <nix_chix0r_> you might need to replaces it
[04:54] <meborc> the deb is probably in your Desktop folder :)

[04:55] <mudd1> hope I didn't miss some FAQ entry or something
[04:55] <nix_chix0r_> battery back up i mean
[04:55] <B|00d|u5T> this is getting annoying
[04:55] <Crazytom> are there any wireless guru's in the house?
[04:55] <frick> you need to be in the directory the deb is in
[04:55] <igknighted> B|00d|u5t: did you download 0.8.2 or 0.9?  0.9 has a graphical installer... highly recommended you go with that
[04:55] <meborc> like the Desktop
[04:55] <calraith> Crazytom: don't ask to ask, just ask :P

[04:56] <Qew> ffxr: you should have some KDE and QT libraries installed.
[04:56] <mjunx> Crazytom, what nic?
[04:56] <nix_chix0r_> Crazytom:  write a script
[04:56] <Crazytom> nix_chix0r_, what did it consist of
[04:56] <nix_chix0r_> oh
[04:56] <Coyote{x}> I have an MSI graphics card that evidently uses an nvidia chipset of some sort, it says unknown device, is there some way I can get more info out of LSPCI about the device?
[04:56] <nix_chix0r_> i can give you my script if you want
[04:56] <Crazytom> wrt54g
[04:56] <nix_chix0r_> and you can just edit it
[04:56] <nix_chix0r_> because i have that same model i think
[04:56] <B|00d|u5T> ignighted ---- i just realized i was going with wrong version tried other version and got the same error
[04:56] <mjunx> Coyote{x}, try using lshw
[04:57] <nix_chix0r_> but my chipset is rt2500 i belive
[04:57] <mudd1> anyone ever encountered that problem with volumeid?
[04:57] <Crazytom> sure
[04:57] <B|00d|u5T> can you check to make sure my command is correct please???  sudo dpkg -i envy_0.9.0-0ubuntu1_all.deb
[04:57] <Crazytom> what was the problem with your's
[04:57] <frick> yes
[04:57] <frick> make sure your in the directory with the deb
[04:57] <frick> where did you download too?
[04:57] <calraith> Crazytom: the convention for wireless interfaces is typically wlan#.  Try ifup wlan0
[04:57] <B|00d|u5T> huh?
[04:57] <mjunx> !peak
[04:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about peak - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[04:57] <nix_chix0r_> Crazytom:  i had the same issues with wireless in gentoo so let me type it up and link it to ya
[04:57] <Crazytom> ok
[04:57] <Coyote{x}> thanks mjunx...although lshow doesn't show anything useful either, oy
[04:58] <B|00d|u5T> i dont have the deb yet
[04:58] <mjunx> wait, I thought rt (ralink) was good with linux...
[04:58] <frick> just click the link
[04:58] <frick> on the website
[04:58] <Crazytom> no such device

[04:58] <B|00d|u5T> ok now where do i save this to?
 try this instead: "sudo dpkg -i Desktop/*.deb
[04:58] <comosicus> i have a problem and i'm tryng to solve it ...................
[04:58] <igknighted> put it on your desktop
[04:58] <Crazytom> calraith, no such device
[04:58] <comosicus> i'm tryng about 3 hours
[04:59] <daniel_> hi, can somebody help me with polish fonts in console (ctrl alt f1)? anybody?
[04:59] <mudd1> see you later
[04:59] <comosicus> please sombody
[04:59] <B|00d|u5T> ignighted -- i should save this deb to the desktop?
[04:59] <mjunx> Coyote{x}, or try lspci -vv
[04:59] <comosicus> somebody
[04:59] <calraith> Crazytom: is your wireless config listed in /etc/network/interfaces ?
[04:59] <B|00d|u5T> ignighted can i delte this file once the installation is complete?
[04:59] <frick> yeah, you can
[04:59] <igknighted> comosicus: post your issue, we don't know if we can help until you ask
[04:59] <igknighted> yes
[04:59] <B|00d|u5T> awesome
[04:59] <mjunx> !ask
[04:59] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:00] <mjunx> hmm, dpkg has a cooler message for that
[05:00] <Crazytom> calraith, yes
[05:00] <comosicus> i'v been asking on this channel  a few times.......a lot of times
[05:00] <B|00d|u5T> there we go
[05:00] <calraith> Crazytom: poop.
[05:01] <B|00d|u5T> u sure this werx for ati cards it says nothing about ati only nvidia
[05:01] <GionnyBoss> I have a Logitech Quickcam webcam and I found on this page ( http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html ) that it is supported with spca5xx driver.  Where can I find and how can I install this driver, please?
[05:01] <Crazytom> calraith, thanks but i don't have to right now.....
[05:01] <comosicus> i'm tryng to acces a server....
[05:01] <comosicus>  Looking for server irc.irc-hispano.org:6669...
[05:01] <comosicus> [17:44]  [Info]  Server found, connecting...
[05:01] <comosicus> and nothing happend
[05:01] <frick> it will have an option to install the ati driver when you run it after the install
[05:02] <B|00d|u5T> frick -- right on man thanx
[05:02] <X_Force> comosicus: what is your prob ? that you cant connect to an IRC server ?
[05:02] <calraith> comosicus: you connected to freenode just fine.  probably not a problem on your end.  Have you tried connecting to irc.irc-hispano.org:6667 instead?
[05:02] <igknighted> comosicus: what client are you using?
[05:02] <Qew> comosicus: have you got your firewall blocking ident (port 113)? Maybe the server expects you to allow ident to listen.
[05:02] <B|00d|u5T> alright it runnin it gave me install ati option
[05:03] <nix_chix0r_> pastebin is so slow
[05:03] <mjunx> yeah, the ident problem
[05:03] <B|00d|u5T> is this dl the newest driver or do i still need to do that from ati's website?
[05:03] <hamedhm> slt
[05:03] <calraith> nix_chix0r_: rafb.net/paste is what I usually use
[05:03] <mjunx> nix_chix0r_, or whoever, use pastebin.ca then
[05:03] <igknighted> blood: it gets the newest from ati's site
[05:03] <nix_chix0r_> thanks
[05:03] <Coyote{x}> NX7300GS-TD256E okay, that appears to be the card
[05:03] <B|00d|u5T> yezzr
[05:03] <B|00d|u5T> thank u
[05:04] <comosicus> i dont have firewall
[05:04] <mjunx> does anyone know the default encoding in mIRC?
[05:04] <B|00d|u5T> im imagining ill notice that choppyness in performance go away once this installs
[05:04] <B|00d|u5T> ?
[05:04] <mjunx> comosicus, then you might need an ident daemon possibly
[05:04] <igknighted> that should be the case, yes
[05:04] <comosicus> i'v been trying to many ports
[05:04] <nix_chix0r_> Crazytom:  here is the shell script http://pastebin.ca/385071 hope it works
[05:04] <B|00d|u5T> right on
[05:04] <comosicus> 6667      6668                    6669
[05:04] <mjunx> comosicus, install midentd
[05:04] <Crazytom> ok thanks
[05:05] <mjunx> if that doesn't work, just uninstall it
[05:05] <comosicus> what is that?
[05:05] <Qew> comosicus: what about 113
[05:05] <mjunx> comosicus, it's an ident daemon
[05:05] <B|00d|u5T> ignighted -- its been runnin like i need alot more ram which it never did in ubuntu b4 thats becuz of the driver prob right>?
[05:05] <comosicus> k
[05:05] <mjunx> comosicus, some irc servers require you to have one for some reason :/
[05:05] <nix_chix0r_> i miss genpoo=(
[05:05] <mjunx> comosicus, although, if you have a router, that might have an ident daemon already, or it might even be blocking port 113
[05:05] <X_Force> comosicus: i tryed the server
[05:05] <nix_chix0r_> i also think my motherboard is killing all my hard drives
[05:06] <comosicus> k
[05:06] <X_Force> comosicus and it works .
[05:06] <mjunx> nix_chix0r_, why gentoo?
[05:06] <X_Force>  comosicus but dlete the port .
[05:06] <comosicus> i'll try with 113 first
[05:06] <nix_chix0r_> mjunx:  that's what i was using for the longest time before my p ower went out and things crashed
[05:06] <mjunx> comosicus, if that doesn't work, install midentd!
[05:06] <comosicus> it works with out the port?
[05:06] <X_Force> comosicus: /server irc.irc-hispano.org
[05:06] <mjunx> nix_chix0r_, what did you like best about gentoo?
[05:06] <nix_chix0r_> some reason i always had problems with ubuntu hanging on the boot up
[05:06] <Qew> comosicus: what I mean is to allow access to port 113, not try and connect to the irc server through port 113
[05:06] <comosicus> but the port is by default 6667
[05:06] <nix_chix0r_> mjunx:  i liked that it was customized to my comptuers exact specs sort to speak
[05:07] <comosicus> aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[05:07] <kane77> hi
[05:07] <nix_chix0r_> it's a lot more work but in the end it was worth it till it crashes:p
[05:07] <mjunx> nix_chix0r_, you know that the gcc optimisations only really helped with video-related programs (that weren't already optimised with assembler)
[05:07] <mjunx> nix_chix0r_, I've heard that most people's favourite thing about gentoo is the USE flags
[05:07] <nix_chix0r_> mjunx: i like the use flags too
[05:07] <kane77> when I installed beagle from repositories do I have the pdf search ability installed?
[05:08] <nix_chix0r_> and i've always seemed to have video problems hah
[05:08] <mjunx> nix_chix0r_, also, I'd assume a good feature is how fast new programs are added to gentoo via the bugzilla
[05:08] <nix_chix0r_> on board video so eh
[05:08] <fallingdutch> is there a way to set up a bridge interface during boot, thinking of adding them to /etc/network/interfaces ... or do i have to write a script for /etc/rcS.d ?
[05:08] <nix_chix0r_> i have a non linux related question what happens if you forget to pay your parking ticket when it's due i got one for calendar parking
[05:09] <nix_chix0r_> it was due yesterday
[05:09] <sjust1216> I cannot ping localhost or 127.0.0.1
[05:09] <mjunx> fallingdutch, you might be able to write the bridge into your interfaces file
[05:09] <mjunx> fallingdutch, although, I haven't tried, so check interfaces(5)
[05:09] <hcook> word
[05:09] <X_Force> comosicus is it now workung ?
[05:09] <mjunx> sjust1216, try "sudo ifup lo"
[05:10] <sjust1216> tried that does not change
[05:10] <nix_chix0r_> i'm all paranoid i'd have a warrant out for my arrest over a parking ticket a few days late -_- mjunx do you think that my motherboard could be the culprit of four hard drivves dying or could they just be bad hard drives
[05:10] <mjunx> sjust1216, does lo show up in ifconfig?
[05:10] <sjust1216> yes
[05:10] <sjust1216> up and running
[05:10] <X_Force> comosicus: ok . . the url is ::: sinope.irc-hispano:6669
[05:10] <mjunx> nix_chix0r_, how fast did they die?
[05:11] <comosicus> i'm steal intall mident
[05:11] <mjunx> sjust1216, and you can't ping localhost or 127.0.0.1?
[05:11] <Wanderer> hmm, anyone know anything about the proprietary driver manager, in paritcular how to invoke?
[05:11] <nix_chix0r_> mjunx:  with in a two week period
[05:11] <nix_chix0r_> i have an asus mobo
[05:11] <comosicus> my comp is from mezozoic
[05:11] <comosicus> :)
[05:11] <sjust1216> ifup: interface lo already configured
[05:11] <mjunx> nix_chix0r_, probably the mobo
[05:11] <lonran> hallo
[05:11] <mjunx> nix_chix0r_, or maybe the power supply...
[05:11] <sjust1216> neither one
[05:11] <X_Force> comosicus .. it dont know what mezotoic is ..
[05:11] <nix_chix0r_> my power supply is a 350w
[05:11] <lonran> i'm using hardware accelerated video and xgl server and when viewing a full screen video, the computer turns off. Is it because it gets too hot? What can i do?
[05:11] <mjunx> sjust1216, "ifconfig lo", check if it's bound to 127.0.0.1/8
[05:12] <nix_chix0r_> i might need more since it's a dual core
[05:12] <infidel> !splash
[05:12] <ubotu> To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor.
[05:12] <nix_chix0r_> but i really don't think i need a 500w power supply
[05:12] <mjunx> sjust1216, you could even try "ping6 ::1"
[05:12] <Wanderer> found it... "restricted manager"
[05:12] <fallingdutch> mjunx, thanks for that hint, read throught the man already, the only thing that might work is running a command when interfaces are up ... but i am not sure how i can check that both are up. bridges are not explicitly mentioned in the man
[05:12] <mjunx> nix_chix0r_, you just need a clean power supply
[05:12] <mudd1> re
[05:13] <sjust1216> it is bound to just 127.0.0.1
[05:13] <mjunx> fallingdutch, if you need to script it, interfaces lets you run scripts on start and stop and whatnot
[05:13] <mjunx> sjust1216, try pinging 127.anything
[05:14] <sjust1216> tried 127.0.0.4 nothing 100% packet loss
[05:15] <mjunx> wow, that's really odd
[05:15] <mjunx> try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[05:15] <Ancoor> Do anyone know if I start a script with nicelevel command to execute a daemon, will the prio be inherited to the app started in the script?
[05:15] <overrider> i set my xorg.conf to run x at 1680x1050. it looks good now, but i kind of wonder if it is possible to break a dvi lcd display by using wrong/suboptimal settings in xorg.conf? since the display is using dpms, i thought it cant go wrong no more. true?
[05:15] <nix_chix0r_> Crazytom: is that working for you at all?
[05:15] <sjust1216> in my host file should it be 127.0.0.1 or 127.0.0.1/8
[05:15] <morphinex> Dr_willis: thanks for your help yesterday with my grub problem - it is now solved
[05:15] <mjunx> overrider, current xorg doesn't really let you break your monitor
[05:16] <infidel> !boot
[05:16] <ubotu> Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto
[05:16] <mjunx> sjust1216, 127.0.0.1
[05:16] <Crazytom> still trying to figure it out.  i made a file in /sbin called wifi-up and pasted in the four lines
[05:16] <sjust1216> ok that is what it is
[05:16] <mjunx> sjust1216, but lo should bind to 127.0.0.1/8 so you can ping anything in the 127/8 block for localhost
[05:17] <sjust1216> how would I bind it then
[05:17] <mjunx> sjust1216, your lo config in /etc/network/interfaces should look something like this (backslash == new line)
[05:17] <mjunx> auto lo \ iface lo inet loopback \ address 127.0.0.1 \ netmask 255.0.0.0
[05:18] <comosicus> i was out...........my konversation just log out i dont know whay?
[05:18] <mjunx> comosicus, maybe you got split?
[05:19] <comosicus> somebody send me another server.........can you send me again that server adres
[05:19] <comosicus> i dont know what that means
[05:19] <sjust1216> I have everything but the addresses
[05:20] <sjust1216> adding them now
[05:20] <overrider> mjunx, but is it possible to use wrong settings for a dpms lcd, so it strains my eyes more? i thought lcd`s run all at 60hz anyways
[05:20] <comosicus> i'v benn install mident but........nothing...same problem
[05:20] <mjunx> overrider, if you run it at too low a frequency, you might
[05:20] <mjunx> overrider, but lcd's don't use frequencies; they update pixels as needed
[05:21] <tibbe> how do I change the default emacs from emacs to emacs-snapshot-gtk?
[05:21] <X_Force> 	<X_Force>	comosicus: ok . . the url is ::: sinope.irc-hispano:6669
[05:22] <Crazytom> ok rebooting back in 5 minutes
[05:22] <m0rk> hello.
[05:22] <X_Force> comosicus  : ok . . the url is ::: sinope.irc-hispano:6669
[05:22] <m0rk> why, after two weeks, can I still not update edgy?
[05:22] <m0rk> i keep getting archive.ubuntu errors
[05:23] <m0rk> edgy-security-main erros
[05:23] <m0rk> etc etc etc
[05:23] <m0rk> wtf.
[05:23] <X_Force> m0rk: plz post the contet of /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:23] <DerekS> what do the last 2 or 3 numbers mean in /proc/loadavg?
[05:23] <X_Force> m0rk: *content
[05:23] <X_Force> m0rk : but plz use : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[05:23] <sjust1216> do I need to restart the whole network interface againg
[05:23] <Qew> maybe it would be better if m0rk used pastebin for that ;)
[05:23] <Qew> heh
[05:24] <X_Force> Qew: was faster :)
[05:24] <Qew> heh
[05:24] <richee> Can anyone plz explain the PS2 environment varaible
[05:24] <richee> ?
[05:24] <richee> why is it used and how it can be used?
[05:24] <mjunx> richee, it's the prompt for "continue the line"
[05:25] <m0rk> and to add fuel to my fire:
[05:25] <m0rk> mb@cydonia:~$ nedit  /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:25] <m0rk> X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
[05:25] <m0rk>   Major opcode of failed request:  70 (X_PolyFillRectangle)

[05:25] <m0rk>   Current serial number in output stream:  382
[05:25] <richee> mjunx can u give me an example of it so that I understand better
[05:25] <m0rk> i don't get it
[05:25] <mjunx> richee, if you're typing in a script like this:
[05:25] <mjunx> $ if [[ something ] ] 
[05:25] <mjunx> > then
[05:26] <mjunx> > echo foo
[05:26] <X_Force> m0rk: cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:26] <comosicus> sinope.irc-hispano lost: name lookup has failed. Trying to reconnect...............................same problem
[05:26] <mjunx> > else

[05:26] <mjunx> > fi
[05:26] <X_Force> m0rk: (in shell)
[05:26] <mjunx> and then it goes back to $ after it executes
[05:26] <richee> ok
[05:26] <richee> hmm not very clear !
[05:27] <Totila> ...

[05:30] <ubunt1> Hi. I am trying to install Ubuntu server 6.10 on a system with a sil3512 s-ata raid controller. The installation program detects the discs separately. Not the raid set that i have configured in the raid bios utility. Any suggestions on what to do?
[05:30] <X_Force> comosicus and you cantchange your port ?

[05:30] <comosicus> what port?
[05:30] <Qew> m0rk: use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ and paste the link it gives you

[05:31] <ComputerHermit> Iam reading in the fourm that ubuntu is  illegal on my pc in the US
[05:31] <yeti> am i right to assume that the feisty herd 5 desktopCD comes with a full kde desktop that can be run directly from CD without installing it?
[05:31] <comosicus> k
[05:31] <atlantia> can anyone suggest the easiest way to get a kernel that won't panic on my older mobo? Can i download an older kernel from the repos?
[05:31] <ComputerHermit> is this true
[05:31] <Dna^> ubuntu version should I download? 6.06 LTS or 6.10?
[05:31] <systemd0wn_> what tells my wifi cards to auto-connect to an AP with a stock edgy install?
[05:32] <atlantia> systemd0wn_, may be the ol "an" hack
[05:32] <atlantia> any*
[05:32] <Coyote{x}> anyone know that script that autoinstalls the restricted codecs and incorporates them into ffox? worked better than the original method for my comp and I forgot where I found it
[05:32] <systemd0wn_> atlantia, you mean where it says any as the ssid?
[05:32] <atlantia> systemd0wn_, yeah it just basically looks ofr "any" open AP

[05:43] <Qew> m0rk: tried opening one of the links in your sources.list file using a browser or something? Could it be a DNS problem with your ISP?
[05:43] <Crazytom> i don't know what to tell you i've had it working in mandrake, red hat, fedora, slackware but not ubuntu
[05:44] <Crazytom> m0rk, i would appreciate help if you have time?
[05:44] <kootaphor> Is it possible to force an X program to open from a terminal/command line that isn't "on/in" that X screen? Like, say you open an X program from the command line while in X, it opens, yay. Now if you SSH to that box and try to open it, it doesn't work. Am I making sense?
[05:44] <kootaphor> i.e. I'd like to open it in, say display:0 even if I can't see it.
[05:44] <m0rk> Crazytom: give me sec. i'll what i can do
[05:45] <Crazytom> m0rk, thanks
[05:45] <soundray> francois: you could set the loglevel to VERBOSE in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and monitor /var/log/syslog
[05:45] <FruitieX> hi all
[05:45] <francois> soundray: ok tanks
[05:45] <krang> So I'm looking for a nice multi-platform access-anywhere file server that's relatively secure. So far I've got OpenXchange and FTP on my list. Any other recommendations?
[05:45] <JayR> hey, I have ubuntu 5.10 server installed already and I just added a LAN card how can I let it detect th newly installed hardware?
[05:46] <X_Force> m0rk: try to change the last 2 lines
[05:46] <dyrne> kootaphor: echo $DISPLAY from the session you want it to appear.  then from ssh export DISPLAY=:1.0  or whatever was echoed then run it
[05:46] <X_Force> m0rk: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9090/
[05:47] <FruitieX> anyone knows what i should do when i get a message saying something like this:"The nice value for the x server is not correct, please enter a value between -20 - 19." And when i press enter, nothing happens, the screen just flashes black real quick. All this happens when im trying to update to the newest ubuntu version
[05:47] <dyrne> kootaphor: might be necessary to do xhost +127.0.0.1    from the session also. not sure id try without doing it forst
[05:47] <soundray> francois: sry not syslog - it logs to /var/log/auth.log by default
[05:47] <MojoWork> hi. i want to enable a russian utf-8 local
[05:48] <MojoWork> right now i only have en_US enabled i think
[05:48] <soundray> francois: you can change that in the config file, too, if you want
[05:48] <MojoWork> how do i build/enable a new one?
[05:48] <francois> soundray: yeah i knew what you meant, but i was wondering if loggin wasn't my last option
[05:48] <UB`> JayR check the dmesg or lspci I think the card is recognized yet
[05:48] <kootaphor> dyrne - thanks!
[05:48] <ironfroggy> i just installed sendmail, and tried to send a test message, but my logs are saying "host name lookup failure" for gmail.com
[05:48] <ironfroggy> whats up with that, if i know it obviously resolves?
[05:48] <JayR> UB`lspci list's the LAN card
[05:48] <FruitieX>  anyone knows what i should do when i get a message saying something like this:"The nice value for the x server is not correct, please enter a value between -20 - 19."

[05:52] <X_Force> m0rk: but only the last 2 lines are relevant .
[05:52] <soundray> mikefoo: it's one of /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc etc. Check with 'sudo fdisk -l' to see whether you recognize the partition layout
[05:52] <m0rk> X_Force: k
[05:52] <m0rk> ah.
[05:52] <root__> hello, can anyone point me towards a place i can get help for beryl problems?

[05:56] <UB`> eilker use the dns at opendns.com
[05:56] <weatherman> soundray: I want to set up nfs, using my laptop as a client and my pc as a server, and I was reading through this tutorial: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo when I want to mount a directory on the server it says I need the IP of the server, and I don't know what that is
[05:56] <Lacerta> soundray: thx, i had been lookin the wrong one :)
[05:56] <m0rk> X_Force: bzzt. times out.
[05:56] <UB`> Crazytom sudo aptitude install network-manager

[05:57] <X_Force> m0rk: try traceroute. .
[05:57] <soundray> weatherman: if you have physical or ssh access to the server, you can run 'ifconfig' on it and see which interfaces have which IPs
[05:57] <X_Force> eilker has your provider block a few websites ?
[05:57] <myfel> Anyone know how to get rid of the panels on the top and bottom of the screen while playing WoW with Beryl?

[05:58] <X_Force> soundray sry
[05:58] <weatherman> soundray: ok so I just run ifconfig and it will give me some ip adress even if it's not connected to the internet just to my laptop? and will this ip change if I reboot the pc later on?
[05:58] <CShadowRun> can you run ubuntu on a ps2?
[05:58] <myfel> soundray: Yeah I tried that for a while, just wondering if there was an actual fix for it
[05:59] <Crazytom> UB`, and how would i go about using that after installing it?  Thanks btw
[05:59] <m0rk> X_Force: nothing turns up. no ping, no traceroute, not even nslookup
[05:59] <UB`> Crazytom read the link I give you
[05:59] <UB`> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager
[05:59] <X_Force> m0rk: i will disviver the servers ip
[05:59] <soundray> weatherman: it has to have an IP address in order to communicate with your laptop via TCP/IP. If it doesn't have one, you will have to configure it.
[05:59] <Crazytom> thanks
[05:59] <UB`> welcome
[06:00] <soundray> myfel: I don't know. Try #ubuntu-effects perhaps
[06:00] <weatherman> soundray: well ok I'll check if it does then. thanks for your help

[06:01] <m0rk> X_Force: i can ping the ip but not the subsequent trailing url
[06:01] <X_Force> m0rk: but can you access the size with firefox
[06:01] <JayR> UB`my eth0 is detected but when I use "ping 192.168.254.254" it says network inaccesable
[06:01] <abasinisvacant> is there a shockwave for linux?
[06:01] <m0rk> X_Force: negative.
[06:02] <X_Force> then try a differnt pc .. or take your phone and ask you ISP
[06:02] <soundray> abasinisvacant: no. Flash yes, but no shockwave
[06:02] <m0rk> yeah. the same thing is happening on another laptop.
[06:02] <abasinisvacant> why doesn't anyone make one?
[06:02] <soundray> abasinisvacant: complaints to Adobe Corp. please ;)
[06:02] <m0rk> it muct be isp related i guess huh?
[06:02] <Incompetnce> how do you change the default program for opening DVDs and other video files?
[06:03] <soundray> abasinisvacant: because it's proprietary, you can't just go and do it

[06:03] <m4n> my wireless adapter is not listed in network devices (wireless is ON) this is on laptop

[06:03] <X_Force> m0rk : try http://www.guardster.com/subscription/proxy_free.php
[06:04] <soundray> Incompetnce: Right click-Properties-Open With
[06:04] <X_Force> m0rk: and then enter there the url ..
[06:04] <Incompetnce> totem %m? what does the %m mean?
[06:04] <soundray> m4n: see if you find a line that corresponds to your hardware in lspci or lsusb output
[06:04] <Incompetnce> should i change it to just "vlc" or "vlc %m"?
[06:05] <m4n> soundray: it used to work .. yesterday also it worked
[06:05] <soundray> Incompetnce: try vlc %m first
[06:05] <Incompetnce> ok. thanks. what does %m mean?

[06:06] <mikefoo> hey I want to mount the drive in a web directory, but I am getting permission errors.. everything had read access.. is it because only root has access to mount or?  how would I change this?
[06:06] <soundray> m4n: are you sure that's the wireless one?
[06:06] <X_Force> eilker: or your router is doing the name resoulation
[06:07] <X_Force> m0rk: any success ?
[06:07] <m4n> soundray: yes, the ethernet is listed separately
[06:07] <vasek> Thanks.

[06:08] <m4n> soundray: only kernel upgrade... am going to try the old kernel once more
[06:08] <X_Force> jannu1:  mount.ntfs-3g --version
[06:08] <Lord_Vader> can anyone help me activate the composite features of GNOME?
[06:09] <jannu1> thx m8s
[06:09] <soundray> m4n: you probably have to redo with the new kernel whatever it was that you did with the old kernel to make it work.
[06:09] <eilker> UB': it is www.youtube.com
[06:09] <JayR> UB`I have only one ethernet card, I just added it after I install Ubuntu-server fron the cd
[06:09] <JayR> UB` *from
[06:09] <X_Force> eilker: ok ..this size is not down
[06:09] <UB`> oh youtube is uo of course :)
[06:09] <X_Force> eilker *site ..
[06:09] <UB`> ip*
[06:09] <soundray> Lord_Vader: don't just repeat. Rephrase, give more detail, and have a bit more patience.
[06:09] <eilker> X_Force>: i did ,  sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0
[06:09] <X_Force> eilker: but have you restartet network or pc ?
[06:09] <m4n> soundray: it was just apt-get install with new version...so I expected all to remain same
[06:10] <UB`> JayR try /etc/init.d/networking restart
[06:10] <soundray> m4n: make sure you've also updated linux-restricted-modules
[06:10] <eilker> UB': i know, i can reach via its ip, but i want it as name
[06:10] <m4n> soundray: what is that now
[06:10] <Lord_Vader> OK, I need someone to help me configure my X server to use the composite features of Metacity/GNOME??!
[06:10] <UB`> or your router have the dns resolution as X_Force told you
[06:10] <X_Force> eilker: ok type nslookup ..
[06:10] <X_Force> eilker: then enter youtube.com .. and check if the dns server is the correct one. .
[06:11] <Lord_Vader> or the other way around.. dunno
[06:11] <eilker> X_Force>: to konsole ?
[06:11] <m4n> soundray: hey with earlier kernel, its working fine.
[06:11] <UB`> Lord_Vader start here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager

[06:11] <Crazytom> UB`, what was that web address you gave me I had to reboot and lost it
[06:12] <soundray> m4n: can you work out which module it loads for the device?
[06:12] <tam> whats the easiest way to upgrade to the latest ubuntu? i've been out of touch with updating for around a year and probably should do it now :)
[06:12] <Lord_Vader> UB`, ty, you know I have beryl working but I just want the basic composite stuff that GNOME has to offer.. beryl makes everything crash :/
[06:12] <UB`> Crazytom https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager
[06:12] <m4n> soundray: yeah checking that
[06:12] <arooni_> how can i createa  shortcut to 1) show desktop 2) maximize all windows?
[06:12] <Crazytom> UB`, thank you
[06:12] <UB`> Lord_Maynoth you want Compiz
[06:12] <eilker> X_Force>: it doesnt say anything for dns, it gives youtube ip
[06:12] <riaal> anyone know if it is possible to listen to FLAC in Amarok?
[06:12] <X_Force> eilker: should be like
[06:12] <UB`> Lord_Vader  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/InstallingCompiz
[06:12] <X_Force> > google.at
[06:12] <X_Force> Server:         195.34.133.21
[06:12] <X_Force> Address:        195.34.133.21#53
[06:13] <soundray> tam: if you're on breezy, it's best to do a fresh install of edgy (6.10) or feisty (7.04) -- the latter only if you're prepared to help testing it
[06:13] <Lord_Vader> UB`, it's more stable? but can't I just use GNOME for transparency and such?
[06:13] <JayR> UB`thank uoi, will try that
[06:13] <eilker> X_Force>: ohh yes, it is my router's ip
[06:13] <UB`> Lord_Vader Compiz is the default for Ubuntu beryl is unsupported
[06:13] <tam> soundray: i have time now, so i want feisty. i used to run SID a lot
[06:13] <X_Force> eilker: then reconfigure your router .
[06:13] <soundray> Lord_Vader: gnome has nothing to do with transparency. It is a desktop environment.
[06:13] <X_Force> eilker: or try to type .. nslookup <yourroter ip> enter
[06:14] <Lord_Vader> soundray, Metacity/GNOME has support for transparency
[06:14] <X_Force> eilker enter = the Key ..
[06:14] <soundray> tam: if you want to upgrade, you have to go via dapper and edgy -- not recommended.
[06:14] <Lord_Vader> UB`, I heard something about composite being default in feisty?
[06:14] <X_Force> Lord_Vader: just try beryl
[06:14] <mikefoo> Hey question.. I mounted an external drive in document root, seems I dont have read access to the files, but I see all read perms on files.. do I have to mount a specific way, or?
[06:14] <soundray> Lord_Vader: metacity is not Gnome, it's just the window manager in gnome
[06:14] <tam> soundray: that don't sound good. i wonder why the upgrade process is tedious
[06:14] <UB`> yes Lord_Vader they are working on it
[06:14] <eilker> X_Force>: server can't find 2.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa: NXDOMAIN
[06:14] <Lord_Vader> X_Force, I have beryl working thanks.. but it works like crap
[06:15] <soundray> Lord_Vader: feisty has an option to activate desktop effects from the menus. It's not mature yet. Discuss in #ubuntu+1 please
[06:15] <m0rk> X_Force: i'm on hold with the ISP now.
[06:15] <Lord_Maynoth> UB`:  No I don't :b I would never install that crud but thanks anywho
[06:15] <soundray> Lord_Vader: you might also find more input in #ubuntu-effects
[06:15] <Lord_Vader> soundray, will it be mature when feisty is released?
[06:15] <FunnyLookinHat> Lord_Vader, it's not a huge priority, but they've already begun ironing out most of the bugs.
[06:15] <soundray> Lord_Vader: either that, or it will be dropped before the release.
[06:16] <Jimme1> How can I force an unmount? umount -f doesn't work
[06:16] <Dr_willis> Lord_Vader,  theres a lot of work being done on beryl - but i dont expect it to be perfect any time soon.
[06:16] <Jimme1> umount: /media/cdrom0: device is busy
[06:16] <UB`> Lord_Maynoth are you speaking about Compiz?
[06:16] <Lord_Vader> k
[06:16] <calraith> Jimme1: you can try a "lazy" umount.  check the man page for umount for more info.
[06:16] <Dr_willis> Lord_Vader,  id heard that beryl was not going to be included by default.. but they may change their minds..
[06:16] <X_Force> eilker: try nslookup youtube.com 208.67.222.222
[06:16] <X_Force> m0rk: is it his problem ?
[06:16] <Lord_Vader> UB`, actually I just wanted the basic stuff GNOME can offer by itself.. it should have composite features by now, I've read that
[06:17] <Lord_Maynoth> UB`: I am thinking about switching to xubuntu to reduce my overhead... compiz would be counterproductive... not to mention its not out of beta...
[06:17] <Lord_Maynoth> hehe
[06:17] <dougie> my computer has been up all night and this morning its a little slugish...like mozilla is scrolling really slow and what not any idea why this would be?
[06:17] <Lord_Maynoth> reboot
[06:17] <Lord_Maynoth> hehe
[06:17] <soundray> Jimme1: terminate all processes that access the CD-ROM. Do a 'cd' in all shells that have a $PWD under the mountpoint.
[06:17] <dougie> i shouldn't need to though...
[06:18] <Lord_Vader> dougie, if you were running windows, that's normal :D *kidding*
[06:18] <Jimme1> soundray, I can't. I'm trying to install RTCW in wine, it's asking for the second CD, and I'm trying to mount an .iso file
[06:18] <X_Force> dougie:  type top and see the system resourcis ..
[06:18] <eilker> X_Force>: it gives opendns'com's dns server ip's
[06:18] <Jimme1> It's not looking promising though, soundray
[06:18] <X_Force> dougie: probalby ram leak
[06:18] <X_Force> eilker: see http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9099/
[06:18] <m4n> soundray: hey tell me one thing, my upgrade was same-kernel-version-386 to 686
[06:18] <X_Force> eilker that is the result of the command execed on my pc

[06:19] <arooni_> what is the keyboard shortcut to maximize all windows?
[06:19] <arooni_> the oppostie of control alt d... if you will
[06:19] <X_Force> eilker: try to restart your pc .. to affect the new dns server optiosn .
[06:19] <soundray> m4n: are you still on dapper (6.06)?
[06:20] <m4n> soundray: yes
[06:20] <X_Force> eilker: but i hope you wrote it in the correct config file ??
[06:20] <eilker> X_Force>: iexactly same with your paste
[06:20] <owner> i just switched to linux. i used to use dvdshrink to make iso files. does anyone know a good alternative to dvdshrink for ubuntu
[06:20] <m4n> soundray: this is 2.6.15-28
[06:20] <eilker> X_Force>: i did it from router web panel
[06:20] <FunnyLookinHat> owner, acidrip will take DVDs and turn them into ogg files to play
[06:20] <m4n> soundray: i had -386 first, I installed -686
[06:20] <X_Force> thats good .
[06:20] <X_Force> eilker: try restart router ??
[06:20] <muh-die-kuh> hi
[06:21] <muh-die-kuh> is the zaphfc driver located in a packaged?
[06:21] <soundray> m4n: go back to -386 then. It doesn't make much of a difference anyway.
[06:21] <muh-die-kuh> s/driver/module/ ;-)
[06:21] <Lord_Vader> owner, mkisofs
[06:21] <dougie> is there a command that will free up memmory? or something like that
[06:21] <m4n> soundray: it wont? will I get smp in -386 also ?
[06:21] <eilker> X_Force>: yes i did, let reset again pc and router
[06:21] <zwnj> how's the simplest way to get mono 1.2 on dapper and/or breezy?
[06:21] <X_Force> eilker: if this dont work .. open /etc/resolve with gedit .. or an other editor .. and write there the ip
[06:21] <owner> will it compress dvd-9 to dvd-5
[06:22] <soundray> m4n: I'm not sure. Check out apt-cache search linux-image and apt-cache show linux-image-(version)
[06:22] <Lord_Vader> owner, nah mkisofs is just for making image-files.. I've not found any program that shrinks dvd:s in linux
[06:22] <justthisguy> Hi, I have a problem with my usb / audio. When I have a usb device that transmits a lot of data, like my cd burner or ipod, any sound that is playing 'wobbles' regularly. Can anyone help?
[06:22] <m4n> soundray: okay, I will do that
[06:23] <calraith> owner: I'm kinda curious about that too.  Maybe something on videohelp.com?  I'll look and see what I can find

[06:25] <soundray> justthisguy: connect the USB device to its own root hub, if you happen to have more than one.
[06:26] <soundray> justthisguy: I mean the sound device
[06:26] <eilker> X_Force>: ay etc/resolv.conf
[06:26] <eilker> X_Force>: *at
[06:26] <X_Force> eilker: you cant open the file to write ?
[06:26] <eilker> i can
[06:26] <X_Force> eilker: and what is then the problem ?
[06:27] <eilker> ok,
[06:27] <tam> is my system going to crash and burn and go to hell since i just done a :%s/edgy/feisty/g in my source.list?
[06:27] <justthisguy> soundray: I just have the one plug for sound at the back. Do you mean that if I had a separate sound card then that would fix the problem?
[06:27] <AlexC_> tam: expect things to break
[06:28] <eilker> X_Force>: i am gonna reset , coming
[06:28] <soundray> justthisguy: I think I misread your problem description. I thought you had a USB soundcard.
[06:28] <tam> AlexC_: as always my friend, as always
[06:28] <soundray> justthisguy: is it a laptop?
[06:28] <matej> howto make a keyboard shortcut for SHOW DESKTOP?

[06:29] <BigD> Greetings all
[06:30] <AlexC_> hi,
[06:31] <Xif> In Nautilus, how do I set the default files list sorting order to Last Modified *descending* (I can set the column, but it's always ascending)?
[06:31] <jano_> hi.. what can I use to make my xfce ubuntu "lighter"?? its still sluggish
[06:32] <dougie> i think it may be something with mozilla or something...cause its still doing it after i restarted x server
[06:32] <BigD> First time Ubuntu user, but not a PC newbie. From what I have read in the forums, the Nvidia driver doesn't should to hard to get working. Especially if using Envy or Automatix. I have the driver installed (I think) but I cannot get my resolution above 1024x768. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
[06:32] <justthisguy> jano_: if you run the `top` command in a terminal, it'll show you a list of what's currently running, and will order it by what's using the most cpu time.
[06:32] <dougie> everything else seems to run fine but scrolling in firefox is slow
[06:32] <morphinex> hmm
[06:33] <morphinex> after using fdisk on a drive and deleting all the partitions, when I remount it, it still appears to have stuff in it
[06:33] <Hoag> Hey, can anyone recommend a good program that can edit .gif files and such, like Animation Shop on windows?
[06:33] <morphinex> err, I deleted all the partitions and created a new home
[06:33] <morphinex> one
[06:33] <jano_> justthisguy, I know 'top' I was thinking more of some app that would allow me to change/disable running services...
[06:33] <warkruid> Hoag: Gimp
[06:33] <AlexC_> warkruid: I didn't think Gimp was cabable of animation?
[06:33] <BigD> warkruid - GIMP works on animated GIF's as well?
[06:34] <warkruid> Hoag: sry <animated> not for gimp

[06:35] <dougie> ah crap...my video drivers reverted back to the mesa drivers
[06:35] <Xif> In Nautilus, how do I set the default files list sorting order to Last-Modified *descending*? (I can set the column in Edit -> Preferences -> Views, but it's always sorted ascending)
[06:35] <justthisguy> jano_: oh, ok. As far as I know the best way to change the running services, etc is by modifying the scripts in /etc/rc*.d . Apart from that, can't help, sorry
[06:36] <jano_> ok thanx
[06:36] <BigD> First time Ubuntu user, but not a PC newbie here. From what I have read in the forums, the Nvidia driver doesn't sound like it should be too hard to get working.

[06:39] <BigD> rbil - yes I have but there are pitiful few options there. 1.Enable Tool Tips  2.Display Status Bar 3.Slider Test Entries 4.Include X Display Names in the Config 5.Show Really Quit
[06:40] <AlexC_> swimmerino88: you're best of asking a real question, as in - tell people about you're problem then people will help,
[06:40] <rinseout> has anybody got a pointer to documents so that i can share my ubuntu system's wired net connection over its wireless adapter?
[06:41] <rbil> BigD: Have u looked at X Server Display Configuration?
[06:41] <BigD> rbil - Is that the sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[06:41] <AlexC_> yers,
[06:41] <swimmerino88> I have just installed VirtualBox,an i installed Winxp...it works but i'd like to use it in all the screen i have read that i have to install guest addiction but i don't know how to install!i have read the manual but i don't understand
[06:42] <lesshaste> is there some way to set the default printer options in gv?
[06:42] <rbil> BigD: no, it's the program I mentioned from Nvidia. At least it installed that here.
[06:42] <warkruid> rinseout: search for iptables and ip forwarding

[06:42] <swimmerino88> !virtualbox
[06:42] <ubotu> VirtualBox is open-source virtualization software for x86, with a proprietary "enterprise" version sporting additional features. Packages for Ubuntu are provided by the makers at http://www.virtualbox.org/ - Setup details at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/VirtualBox
[06:44] <rbil> BigD: the command run from that menu is:  nvidia-settings
[06:44] <bigjohnto> if i have a script that has full permissions and I still cannot execute the script and get permission denied what could be causing the problem... works for everyone but my user?
[06:44] <bruenig> bigjohnto, you should sudo it
[06:45] <bigjohnto> i changed its permissions to 775
[06:45] <bigjohnto> so anyone should be able to execute it
[06:45] <bruenig> bigjohnto, but if the commands inside of the script require certain permissions, that doesn't matter
[06:45] <BigD> rbil - the titlebar of the app that pos up when I click on the NVIDIA settings menu entry says "NVIDIA X Server Settings. The left side has nvidia-setting Configuration and the right side has the 5 options I listed above.

[06:48] <ircusr> I'm trying to install ubuntu on a usb drive
[06:48] <ircusr> which i did
[06:48] <_WaLKeR_> ok  so i downloaded the ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso and burned it to a disk  but when i got to boot from the disk i get the first screen when it asks to install and then it just says error reboot
[06:48] <Nitro> I've installed 7.04 on my laptop to test it, herd 5 btw. First run, I had some problems, but after some trixing it seemed to be fixed, as when I rebooted everything worked nicely. Now I changed my xorg.conf and added some resolutions, then restarted. After the bootloader was done, it just goes blank, nothing happens. Any ideas if this is a bug or something I've screwed up?
[06:48] <Dubstar_04> Am i working??

[06:51] <m1r> hi all
[06:51] <eilker> x_force: yes i get the youtube now
[06:51] <ircusr> hi
[06:51] <likwidtek> hey all.  I am installing ubuntu on my high end home computer that has a 64bit cpu.  Will I have less combatability issues with the 32 bit version?
[06:51] <rbil> BigD: appears that it uses the envy script
[06:51] <m1r> anyone here has ubuntu runing in kiosk mode ?
[06:51] <nikosapi> likwidtek: yes
[06:52] <BigD> rbil - I tried Envy first, I had the same results.
[06:52] <m4n> can anyone help with my ps2 mouse problem on laptop
[06:52] <m4n> usb mouse works, but not ps2
[06:52] <ircusr> well, where do i get that super grub disk?
[06:52] <BigD> My X Server would crash and I would have to reconfigure
[06:52] <riaal> Is kTorrent 2.0.3 the latest one for ubuntu? =S
[06:52] <Dr_willis> ircusr,  google.com for it.
[06:52] <warkruid>  m4n: kernel supports ps2 pointing device?
[06:52] <Dr_willis> ircusr,  i was reading through its features last night.
[06:52] <eilker> x_force: thank you
[06:53] <m4n> warkruid: i guess, because on live cd, it works
[06:53] <rbil> BigD: do ... locate nvidia           ... does it return anything that looks like the drivers are on your system?
[06:53] <ircusr> what do i google for ?
[06:53] <ircusr> "super grub disk"?
[06:53] <eilker> x_force: but how does isp do it ?do u have any idea ?
[06:53] <riaal> Please, anyone using kTorrent?
[06:53] <Dr_willis> ircusr,  yes.....
[06:53] <rbil> BigD: if so, then try editing xorg.conf and change "nv" to "nvidia"
[06:53] <eilker> x_force: it is not dns
[06:53] <warkruid> m4n: should work then.. strange..
[06:53] <likwidtek> Is anyone in here running the 64 bit version?
[06:53] <m4n> warkruid: but its not :(
[06:54] <Pici> riaal: 2.0.3+dfsg1-0ubuntu1
[06:54] <Pici> riaal: That is the latest version
[06:54] <ircusr> page wont load
[06:54] <BigD> rbil - Man, a crap load of stuff came back on the locate nvidia
[06:54] <rinseout> ew. i run dmesg and i get a whole bunch of "[17183468.952000]  APIC error on CPU0: 40(40)"
[06:54] <rbil> BigD: lsmod | grep nvidia
[06:54] <rbil> any results
[06:54] <eilker> x_force: but how does isp do it ?do u have any idea ?
[06:55] <rw86347> test
[06:55] <BigD> rbil - lsmod | grep nvidia doesn't do anything when entered into Terminal
[06:55] <warkruid> m4n: xorg.conf Section "inputdevice" is PS2?
[06:55] <m4n> warkruid: not just in X.. in terminal also, its not working
[06:56] <frafra_> hi all
[06:56] <m1r> ubuntu in kiosk mode anyone???
[06:56] <warkruid> m4n: cant help you.. sry :-(
[06:56] <rbil> BigD: well I'm not sure of the state of your nvidia driver install, but I'd try just changing "nv" to "nvidia" in xorg.conf and then restarting gdm and see whether it works
[06:56] <adorilson> \j ubuntu-br
[06:56] <m4n> warkruid: okay no problem. am going to get the list of modules in live cd and otherwise
[06:56] <riaal> Pici, lot of trackers that has baned the 2.0.3 version
[06:56] <m4n> let me compare then
[06:56] <BigD> rbil - restart gdm? What is that?
[06:56] <riaal> so, no torrent tracker for ubuntu ? =S
[06:57] <rbil> BigD: your GUI desktop, if you're running Gnome
[06:57] <rbil> BigD: are u running Gnome or KDE?
[06:57] <m1r> riaal : there should be torent client in your sys
[06:57] <Martyo> I'm trying to instruct a friend online how to install ubuntu but when he tries to resize his windows partition, it sits there for hours, is that normal?
[06:57] <dougie> there we go smooth scrolling again
[06:57] <BigD> rbil - GNOME. What is the command to restart GNOME though? Just  restart gdm?
[06:57] <riaal> man I hate torrent trackers
[06:58] <riaal> ftp ftw..
[06:58] <m1r> :)
[06:58] <dougie> i recompiled the kernel durring beryl install and i had to reinstall my video drivers
[06:58] <Vaalth> hey, can ubuntu read files from an ntfs drive?
[06:58] <rbil> either CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE key combination or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[06:58] <Pici> !ntfs > Vaalth
[06:58] <X_Force> eilker difficualt to say
[06:59] <BigD> Aah, I thought CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE was to restart x
[06:59] <Vaalth> thanks :)
[06:59] <X_Force> eilker: probaly he block the ip adresses of youtube ..
[06:59] <ircusr> how do i copy the super grub iso to a floppy?
[06:59] <ircusr> with rawrite?
[06:59] <BigD> Or us that the same thing as restarting gdm?
[06:59] <X_Force> eilker: but there is a tool named tor
[06:59] <_WaLKeR_> one more question when burning the ubuntu iso to a disk  does it matter if the disk is cd-rw or should it be cd-r
[06:59] <ircusr> hello?
[06:59] <rbil> BigD: same thing ... restarting X restarts the Gnome desktop
[07:00] <rbil> BigD: hopefully :-)
[07:00] <FlyingSquirrel32> how can i tell what network drivers the system is using?
[07:00] <X_Force> eilker: with this tools you are able to bypass all the restrications .. and surf as usal in the web ..(not with the advertisment like guardster)
[07:00] <riaal> wow! I just downloaded a package and it auto upgraded kTorrent! In linux!! that amazing!! ;)
[07:00] <BigD> rbil - Gotcha. One more thing & I will let you help someone else. Should I log out before restart x/gdm?
[07:00] <likwidtek> Do you guys reccomend that I install the 64 bit version or the 32 bit version and why?
[07:00] <rbil> BigD: no, don't need to
[07:00] <X_Force> likwidtek: you have an 64bit cpu ?
[07:01] <BigD> rbil - that is a problem them. When I CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE X crashes bad
[07:01] <BigD> Even the reconfigure xserver is all scambled
[07:01] <bakefy> What is the command to remove a directory with files in it?
[07:01] <likwidtek> X_Force yeah
[07:01] <X_Force> bakefy think .. rm -f ..
[07:01] <X_Force> bakefy: or rm -R ..
[07:01] <aevin> When running OpenGL applications, I get the following error message: "libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x5b" Intel Mobile 945GM chipset (GMA950), running Xorg 7.1.1 with "i810" driver. Any helpful ideas?
[07:01] <bakefy> thanks x_force
[07:01] <likwidtek> X_Force AMD 64 4000+
[07:02] <rbil> BigD: then rebuild your xorg.conf file ... sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg   ... and try again
[07:02] <X_Force> likwidtek then i would take 64 because its optimized for your cpu .. but on the other hand .. there is for example shockwave flahs .
[07:02] <aevin> forgot to mention I'm running Ubuntu 6.10
[07:02] <matej> howto make a keyboard shortcut for SHOW DESKTOP?
[07:02] <X_Force> likwidtek: which is only support on 32bit
[07:03] <frafra_> I've an unused pc. When I try to start it, it always show me the bios setup. Then I close the dialog and nothing happens, all black. Why?
[07:03] <X_Force> matej: ther is one .. CTR ALT D
[07:03] <Kazz> I'm having problems with LDM in the kernel (2.6.17), and recompiling from the Ubuntu patched sources just leaves me with the same problem.  I've tried compiling other sources (2.6.20), but I can't get them to work right.  Does Ubuntu *require* a patched version of the kernel source to work?
[07:03] <X_Force> frafra_ ? what should happen ?
[07:03] <likwidtek> X_Force so I wont be able to run flash on my 64bit cpu?
[07:03] <BigD> rbil - OK. You have given me a lot to work with. I will play with what you have given me and report back later. Thank you for your help!
[07:03] <frafra_> X_Force: it should load my system :D
[07:03] <rbil> BigD: ok, good luck
[07:03] <X_Force> likwidtek not shokwave . .that right .. some sites dont work .
[07:04] <X_Force> frafra_ ? is it unused or not ?.
[07:04] <Kazz> likwidtek: Not if you install the 64 bit version, but if you install the 32 bit version...
[07:04] <X_Force> likwidtek youtube is working ..
[07:04] <frafra_> X_Force: I was unused, now I want to use it :D
[07:04] <X_Force>  because you dont need a new verison .
[07:04] <X_Force> frafra_ then put the ubuntu cd in the CD Driver ...
[07:04] <X_Force> *Drive
[07:04] <likwidtek> hmmmm
[07:05] <frafra_> X_Force: it doesn't load the cd, it doesn't load anything
[07:05] <likwidtek> Is there a work around to the Shockwave not working?  Or do I just have to live without it
[07:05] <bakefy> X-Force, incase you wonder, I got it to finnally remove the directory with a sudo, rm -R
[07:05] <unimatrix9> hello there, is there an way for irc freenode to send my password to e-mail adres?
[07:05] <unimatrix9> forgot it...:)
[07:05] <bakefy> x_force thanks for pointing me in the right direction
[07:05] <deflux-> I'm running ubuntu with my entire hard-drive, is there a way to partition it live so I can dual-boot another os?
[07:06] <Pici> unimatrix9: check the freenode website, they have instructions there
[07:06] <Kazz> No one here has compiled their kernel without using Ubuntu patched code?
[07:06] <unimatrix9> thanx
[07:06] <X_Force> bakefy sry ..
[07:06] <unimatrix9> ps gparted livecd can partiton
[07:06] <unimatrix9> partition....
[07:06] <X_Force> frafra_ try press F8
[07:06] <X_Force> frafra_ or change the priority of the boot process
[07:06] <X_Force> likwidtek see http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&Lang=German
[07:07] <fatpelt> afternoon all.  i've just installed ubuntu on my core2 laptop and found that the default kernel is not smp.  i've installed linunx-image-generic and my machine failed to boot (since the nvidia driver that i've got running isn't installed.  first off is -generic smp aware, and is linux-restricted-modules-generic what i need to get my machine up ?
[07:07] <X_Force> likwidtek it only says x86
[07:07] <frafra_> X_Force: I've changed the priority, but it doesn't load the cd or the hd
[07:07] <Kazz> deflux-: unimatrix9 was talking to you...gparted should work I think, but you might have to use a live CD or somethin', I don't *think* you can resize it while you're using it.
[07:07] <X_Force> frafra_ are there erros in the post ?
[07:07] <X_Force> fatpelt plain istallation ?
[07:07] <bakefy> I have a 5.1 surround system for my computer, my sound card let it worked in windows, I currently only have 2.1 working.  Is it possible to use enable surround speakers in ubuntu?
[07:08] <fatpelt> X_Force: what do you mean ?
[07:08] <frafra_> X_Force: no, no errors, all black
[07:08] <X_Force> fatpelt: on my installationit supports 2 Cores

[07:09] <X_Force> 2.6.17-10-generic
[07:09] <yeti> can i burn a CD-.iso onto a dvd?
[07:09] <bakefy> do surround sound speakers work in ubuntu?
[07:10] <frafra_> X_Force:  mmm... I think that the bios is stupid... it doesn't work property...
[07:10] <finalbeta> X_Force: uname -r
[07:10] <Pici> X_Force: `uname -a` will return current kernel version
[07:10] <Dougie> anyone use newsgroups?
[07:10] <rbil> yeti: no
[07:10] <fatpelt> X_Force: so is linux-restricted-modules-generic then what i need to install to get the nvidia (and other) drivers ?
[07:10] <Pici> Dougie: A little, whats up?

[07:11] <X_Force> fatpelt i have successfully installed all nvidea drivers. .
[07:11] <Pici> Dougie: Try pan
[07:11] <X_Force> fatpelt>	(for my grafics card)
[07:11] <Kazz> Has anyone here compiled their own kernel at all...?
[07:11] <baron> hi all! I've found nice docs abount netboot install of Ubuntu, but there is no docs how to setup Ubuntu from ftp server, is it possible? Doesn't matter netboot or cdboot
[07:11] <yeti> rbil: oh. that sucks. is it possible to convert a cdrom-.iso to an .iso that works on a dvd?
[07:11] <fatpelt> X_Force: right, but didyou do it with the restricted modules package or did you do it yourself by hand ?
[07:11] <knovak> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=378407 - anyone know how to fix my login manager problem?
[07:11] <colbert> Is there something like 360Share or Limewire to download MP3s, for Ubuntu ?????
[07:12] <X_Force> fatpelt . .no just startet the installer of the desktop live cd ..
[07:12] <Geoffrey2> I just did an install of mplayer from source...how do I go about setting it up to work with Firefox?
[07:12] <X_Force> fatpelt: and pressed install ..
[07:12] <Pici> !p2p > colbert
[07:12] <dyrne> colbert: there is limewire though id recommend frostwire instead. also bittorrent clients and amule.  there are many
[07:12] <rbil> yeti: not that I know of. the iso is defining the cd. but maybe someone here knows a way?
[07:12] <X_Force> fatpelt have the x86-64 cd ..
[07:12] <blenna_unix> what is a good app that can download NZBs and unrar the files for you?
[07:12] <fatpelt> X_Force: ok.
[07:12] <X_Force> rbil has the iso a boot sektor ?
[07:12] <frafra_> X_Force: how to reflash my bios?
[07:13] <frick> google sabnzbd or hellanzb
[07:13] <kyle7836_> look into automatix, it installs frostwire(P2P client), and pretty much all the proprietary things you'll need
[07:13] <Pici> !automatix
[07:13] <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
[07:13] <rbil> X_Force: no idea. it's not me trying to burn a CD iso to a DVD disk
[07:13] <X_Force> frafra_ good quiestion .. i have never done this . i think you need a floppy and you need some files on it .
[07:13] <eilker_> aevin: i have same problem too
[07:13] <Pici> kyle7836_: Please dont suggest automatix and also read the message above from ubotu
[07:14] <X_Force> frafra_: try to ask you manufacturer
[07:14] <kyle7836_> haha yeah I just did oops
[07:14] <Neronious> frafra_: when you reboot your computer press F2 or del (whichever gets you into your BIOS) and click restore defaults or you  can short your system clock on your motherboard
[07:14] <rbil> yeti: you might be able to extract the contents of the iso to a directory and then create a DVD iso from that directory???
[07:14] <Crazytom> i'm having a problem with my wireless card i got this error from dmesg
[07:14] <Crazytom> bcm43xx: Error: Microcode "bcm43xx_microcode5.fw" not available or load failed.
[07:14] <X_Force> rbil if it has no booksektor you can simply extract the files and burn it or .. just try to burn it ..
[07:14] <frafra_> Neronious: I've just reset it, but the problem is the same
[07:14] <rbil> yeti: but if it's a bootable cd, I don't know how that will be handled as a DVD iso?
[07:14] <Neronious> frafra_:or if you want the actual software check your motherboard manufacturer webpage
[07:14] <frafra_> X_Force: ok, thanks
[07:14] <frafra_> Neronious: thanks
[07:14] <colbert> I have Firefox and Opera installed, and Firefox is set to default browser, but when I click a link like here in XChat and click Open in Browser, it keeps opening in Opera.. but there is no option in Opera to change it to not default, how do I fix this ??
[07:15] <Dougie> Pici: Thanks that one looks pretty nice
[07:15] <baron> so! there is no way to install ubuntu from FTP server not from CD/DVD media?
[07:15] <Crazytom> nix_chix0r_, thanks for that script but i still can't seem to get it to work
[07:15] <m1r> ubuntu kiosk mode ???
[07:15] <m1r> anyone?
[07:15] <aevin> eilker_: any ideas what to do?
[07:16] <Neronious> baron: its impossable
[07:16] <dyrne> !install| baron  many options
[07:16] <ubotu> baron  many options: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[07:16] <yeti> rbil: it is a bootable cd
[07:16] <yeti> rbil: i don't really understand why it wouldn't work to burn it "as a dvd iso" though
[07:16] <rbil> yeti: well then I'm not sure if it can be accomplished?
[07:17] <dmb062082> does does http://24.59.44.136/  bring you guys anywhere?
[07:17] <baron> ubotu: all of that guides about initial booting, not abount downloading actual packages during install process
[07:17] <yeti> rbil: well, thanks anyways :)
[07:17] <rbil> yeti: well have u tried? I've never tried to burn a cd iso to a DVD+/-R
[07:17] <Martyo> how do I enable remote SSH connections?
[07:17] <Nerv> hello

[07:17] <yeti> brb
[07:17] <rbil> yeti: I'm just guessing it won't work :-)
[07:17] <blenna_unix> what is a good app that can download NZBs and unrar the files for you (besides sabnzbd or hellanzb)?
[07:17] <Pici> !ssh > Martyo
[07:17] <Jowi> dmb062082, no. if you're behind a router forward port 80 to your machine
[07:18] <frafra_> but, for flash my bios I need to load a s.o. :D
[07:18] <frafra_> and I can't do this because my bios is broken
[07:18] <Martyo> Pici: thanks
[07:18] <rbil> yeti: what's your problem, you dont have nay cd-r disks handy?
[07:18] <Pici> blenna_unix: Try pan perhaps, I'm not sure if that will decompress the files though, I havent tried it

[07:23] <rbil> Neronious: if u need to do this routinely, you could install a fresh system and then use something like Acronis True Image and make an image of the hard drive at that state
[07:23] <Enselic`> fnoiif: try to enable, reneable/reset options /remove ~/.beryl*
[07:23] <Pici> Neronious: for Windows or Linux?
[07:23] <Dr_willis> Neronious,  i think part of the reasin theres not many for linux, is that thers not a lot of need. :) its easier to lock down the system and prevent such changes. I know vmware cn do it for their virtual machines.
[07:23] <Neronious> windows
[07:24] <magic_ninja> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[07:24] <heygab2> Where is the welcome message file on OpenSSH?
[07:24] <Dr_willis> Neronious,  not to sya that there are none.. there may be.. ive just never seen  much mention of such things.
[07:24] <yeti> rbil: it works :) it is possible to burn a bootable cd iso onto a dvd :)
[07:24] <Pici> Neronious: You'll probably find more answers in ##windows, if such a free program exists
[07:24] <olrrai_> hello
[07:24] <rbil> yeti: cool. learn something new every day
[07:24] <Dr_willis> Neronious,  ive gotten where  i just run windows under vmware now.. :) saves problems
[07:25] <olrrai_> exist a command as dialog or Xdialog that comes with the distro as default?
[07:25] <rbil> yeti: if it always works, can save me money not having to purchase CD-Rs which are more expensive than DVD-Rs
[07:25] <dudu> boa tarde
[07:25] <Neronious> thanks everyone ill check it out
[07:25] <blithe> Anyone know the name of the "Printer Setup" program?
[07:25] <mozart> i know the vmware player exists on ubuntu edgy but i need to make my own images so i just downloaded the vmware 5.5.3 workstation, but i dont know how to install it
[07:25] <Pici> olrrai_: huh?
[07:26] <DerekS> anyone know what the last 3 numbers in /proc/loadavg are? i found an answer online, but it makes no sense
[07:26] <kane77> mozart, it's not that hard..
[07:26] <craigbass1976> blithe, cups?
[07:26] <rbil> mozart, have u looked at this online utility? maybe it'll do what u need? http://www.easyvmx.com/
[07:26] <mozart> ok
[07:27] <mozart> thanks
[07:27] <kane77> DerekS, it is average load for past 1, 5, 15 minutes
[07:27] <olrrai_> Pici: exist a command like dialog or Xdialog in common libs?
[07:27] <dudu> viva o ubuntu
[07:27] <DerekS> kane77: no, the last 3, thats the first 3
[07:27] <Dr_willis> mozart,  i always install the vmware-server stuff
[07:27] <Topi> Hi
[07:27] <xaos> how should i configure mdam.conf if i don't have any arrays? i get a boot time warning saying i need to check the configuration file...
[07:27] <mozart> hi how
[07:28] <Dr_willis> download the vmware server package.. uncompress it.. run its install.pl script.. :)
[07:28] <Topi> Help with accessing a ntfs-drive in ubuntu 6.10 ?
[07:28] <Dr_willis> !ntfs
[07:28] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[07:28] <mozart> vmware-install.pl
[07:28] <mozart> yes
[07:28] <mozart> how to run it???
[07:28] <xaos> !mdadm
[07:28] <ubotu> mdadm: tool to administer Linux MD device arrays (software RAID). In component main, is optional. Version 2.4.1-6ubuntu5.2 (edgy), package size 149 kB, installed size 456 kB
[07:28] <DerekS> kane77: "0.12 0.07 0.01 1/82 15543" the 1,82, and 15543
[07:28] <Topi> how to access the contents...
[07:29] <matej> which programs do i have to install to play music when i go over the mp3 file?
[07:29] <xaos> should i uninstall mdadm if i don't have any arrays? or would it screw up the boot process?
[07:29] <Kazz> Dr_willis: Have you used LDM (part of the kernel for accessing windows dynamic disks in Linux)?
[07:30] <Dr_willis> Kazz,  nope.. getting where i rarely need to do anything with windows.. :)
[07:30] <Kazz> That's good. :)
[07:30] <grogoreo> is there a way to change the gnome theme from the command line or with a text editor?
[07:30] <Kazz> I still need to dual boot though, and I want to use windows software RAID too, so I have to use their stupid dynamic disks...
[07:30] <Pici> !mp3 > matej
[07:31] <Kazz> Unfortunately, the LDM part of the kernel doesn't seem to be working in Ubuntu... :(
[07:31] <Dr_willis> Kazz,  i dont even trust windows any more...
[07:31] <Dr_willis> :)
[07:31] <matej> Pici, tnx
[07:31] <Dr_willis> aparently a lot of the Fed Depts. are no longer trusting MS either.
[07:31] <Kazz> Neither do I, but until I learn how to do all of my video stuff under Linux, I kinda' have to keep it around. ;)
[07:31] <Kazz> That's good. :)
[07:31] <kane77> DerekS, I give up...
[07:31] <DerekS> haha
[07:31] <DerekS> just found out man proc exists
[07:32] <DerekS> it has the answer
[07:32] <atlantia> can anyone suggest a fix for this issue: currently using 6.10 with an older p3 mobo/intelc hipset.. when i put ANYTHING in the pci slot it causes an IRQ kernel panic at startup.. i have considered downgrading the kernel, and have tried noapci etc. any advise?
[07:32] <Kazz> xaos: You're not using windows dynamic disks, are you?
[07:32] <atlantia> advice*
[07:32] <finalbeta> Dr_willis: they are hyping that. Not upgrading is not the same as not trusting, no large company upgrades before SP1.
[07:32] <tecta> when updating X11-common says "Please enter an integer between -20 and 19."
[07:32] <[1] ircusr> hello
[07:33] <theis> is there a automatix mirror  ?
[07:33] <[1] ircusr> so I'm trying to boot with a floppy disk because my pc doesnt allow usb booting
[07:33] <Kazz> finalbeta: Well, that's at least partly because they don't trust the initially released product to be good enough, right? ;)
[07:33] <[1] ircusr> and I've installed ubuntu in a usb pen drive
[07:33] <alleyoopster> grogoreo: edit your ~/.gtkrc (for gtk-1.x) and ~/.gtkrc-2.0 (for gtk-2.x)
[07:33] <eilker> theis: directly you can get from their site
[07:33] <mozart> sorry people i am a total noob escaping from windows who just got ubuntu edgy running but now i vmware workstation 5.5.3 downloaded with serials how do i install it, if i click vmware-install.pl to run it does nothing
[07:33] <grogoreo> thanks alleyoopster
[07:33] <alleyoopster> np
[07:34] <finalbeta> Kazz: yes and no, but the end result stays the same.
[07:34] <lnostdal> tecta, it's fixed in latest xorg ( 1:7.2-0ubuntu5 )
[07:34] <cybe> Is the nvidia-glx package broken?
[07:34] <theis> eilker: the site is down
[07:34] <tecta> lnostdal: im on 6.10 so...
[07:34] <dellolinux> azz jester non ho tolto lo spash
[07:34] <Pici> !es > dellolinux
[07:34] <rbil> mozart: just what are u trying to accomplish?
[07:34] <eilker> theis: ohh i see
[07:34] <finalbeta> mozart: you have to use the command line to start that file sudo ./vmware-install.pl
[07:34] <Kazz> mozart: You probably need to run it from a terminal (command prompt) instead of clicking on it in.
[07:35] <mozart> ok how
[07:35] <Kazz> Bah...beat me to it. ;)
[07:35] <mozart> please
[07:35] <Kazz> mozart: Go to Applications > Accessories > Terminal
[07:35] <finalbeta> !terminal
[07:35] <mozart> ok i got that as sudo su
[07:35] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[07:35] <mozart> ok
[07:35] <finalbeta> don't do sudo su
[07:35] <cybe> Could anyone please tell me if they are able to "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx"? Caus' it seems to be broken
[07:35] <mozart> ok i am listening
[07:36] <Dr_willis> finalbeta,  what  i read was 'changing over to linux'  in the articals.
[07:36] <Dr_willis> finalbeta,  but i just printed them out to read later.. so havent gone over them in details yet.
[07:36] <finalbeta> Dr_willis: the articles are written by linux people.
[07:36] <Kazz> cybe: I installed that yesterday (through Synaptic though)...it isn't working right for me so far, but it did install.  It might not have support for my card or somethin'...not sure yet.
[07:36] <[1] ircusr> hello? can someone assist, please?
[07:36] <mozart> do i have to tell it in the terminal where to find the install
[07:37] <Vaalth> what's the ideal size for a swap partition?
[07:37] <Vaalth> !swap
[07:37] <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
[07:37] <finalbeta> mozart: you should change directory to the dir you extracted that .pl to
[07:37] <finalbeta> mozart: cd dirname changes a dir. cd .. goes up a dir.
[07:37] <cybe> Kazz: Okay, it has always worked for me, but i reinstalled Ubuntu today, and i can't seem to download the package
[07:37] <Kazz> Vaalth: Probably about 2x the amount of your RAM.  You can have more than one partition too, if you have multiple drives you want to spread it over.
[07:37] <Dr_willis> finalbeta, of course at where i am working.. they are still using windows95 :)
[07:37] <mozart> o
[07:37] <finalbeta> mozart: ./file.pl will start the file.
[07:37] <mozart> ok
[07:37] <mozart> i will try
[07:38] <Vaalth> thanks :D
[07:38] <finalbeta> !terminal | mozart
[07:38] <ubotu> mozart: 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
[07:38] <finalbeta> Read those basic commands mozart
[07:38] <finalbeta> You will need them like air.
[07:38] <mozart> ok ubotu but i dont know how to use it
[07:38] <Kazz> cybe: It could be because you don't have the right...what do they call them...places to get things from set up...
[07:39] <toastydeath> repositories
[07:39] <craigbass1976> I can't execute a shell script I wrote.  I'm getting "filename: cannot execute binary file"
[07:39] <ikonia> test
[07:39] <toastydeath> kazz: repositories
[07:39] <wit> hey I'm new to linux/ubuntu -where's a good guide to getting started?
[07:39] <cybe> Kazz: yes repositories... I'm going to look at it now
[07:39] <ikonia> craigbass1976: binary file is not a shell script
[07:39] <Pici> !test > ikonia
[07:39] <Kazz> toastydeath: Thanks...<laugh>
[07:39] <ikonia> Pici: thanks
[07:39] <olrrai_> exist a zenity text mode compatibility?
[07:39] <Dr_willis> wit,  tldp.org
[07:39] <toastydeath> why was i able to get mp3 files playing in slackware
[07:39] <craigbass1976> ikonia, right.  Then why is Ubuntu telling me it's a binary?
[07:39] <rbil> wit: System ... Help
[07:39] <craigbass1976> ikonia, it's text
[07:39] <toastydeath> but not able to get amarok to play mp3 files in ubuntu
[07:39] <ikonia> craigbass1976: run "file" against the script
[07:40] <craigbass1976> huh?
[07:40] <toastydeath> clearly ubuntu needs to be harder to use
[07:40] <ikonia> craigbass1976: run "file" against the script
[07:40] <toastydeath> so that i am able to do things
[07:40] <finalbeta> toastydeath: perhaps the faeries help slackware installs.
[07:40] <toastydeath> no, nothing works out of the box in slackware
[07:40] <SilentDis> greetings and salutations :)
[07:40] <toastydeath> "oh, you want to start x windows?  here, write your own xorg.conf"
[07:40] <craigbass1976> ikonia, you mean file filename?  I get UTF-8 Unicode English text.
[07:41] <finalbeta> toastydeath: in the next version, when you play an mp3, Ubuntu will ask you to install the codecs for you.
[07:41] <toastydeath> yeah, it did that
[07:41] <ikonia> craigbass1976: ok - thats great. Now do "ls -la $filename"
[07:41] <toastydeath> and it didn't work
[07:41] <ultm8> hey hey
[07:41] <toastydeath> i also installed libxine-extracodecs
[07:41] <toastydeath> i'm dorking around with it right now
[07:41] <craigbass1976> ikonia, -rwxr-xr-x
[07:41] <abdalahi> hola hay amigos por ahi que quiere conversar
[07:41] <jcaceres> hello, i have a questions what does the "~" simbol stand for referin to carpets
[07:41] <Pici> !es > abdalahi
[07:41] <ultm8> hey folks does any body know how to copy a directories contents but without copying the directory itself?
[07:41] <krang> Anyone got a suggestion for something I can run to allow me access to my files from windows or linux anywhere in the world? FTP seems too basic, and OpenXchange is overkill.
[07:42] <SilentDis> !es | abdalahi
[07:42] <ubotu> abdalahi: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[07:42] <jcaceres> http://toncar.cz/openh323/tut/build.html
[07:42] <jcaceres> there gives some kind of meaning to "~/pwlib" so i need to know what does "~" means
[07:42] <abdalahi> como
[07:42] <jcaceres> any idea?
[07:42] <Pici> jcaceres: ~/ is your home directory
[07:42] <ultm8> for instance cp /home/username/directory /home/username/hello/
[07:42] <LjL> abdalahi: /join #ubuntu-es
[07:42] <jcaceres> Pici, thnks
[07:42] <SilentDis> jcaceres, usually ~/ means your home directory.
[07:43] <Pici> jcaceres: if you type in cd ~/pwlib it will take you to /home/jcaceres/pwlib
[07:43] <toastydeath> ooh you bastards
[07:43] <toastydeath> what is this multiverse/universe nonsense
[07:43] <jcaceres> thnks very much
[07:43] <LjL> !language | toastydeath
[07:43] <ubotu> toastydeath: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.

[07:43] <LjL> !es > salkaembarekahme    (salkaembarekahme, see the private message from Ubotu)
[07:43] <erUSUL> !es > salkaembarekahme
[07:43] <SilentDis> toastydeath, what problem are you having?  i came late, apparently.
[07:43] <slv> toastydeath: universe has all the open software, multiverse contains all the stuff with copyrights that can't be released with ubuntu
[07:44] <ikonia> craigbass1976: do you have a hash bang at the start of your script ? (#!/bin/bash) for example
[07:44] <craigbass1976> Yep
[07:44] <toastydeath> my problem: i'm trying to get amarok to notice i have libxine-extracodecs installed
[07:44] <Kronuz> hey, if I want to copy all the files from one filesystem to another, but keep the permits and user, how can I do that?
[07:44] <toastydeath> so that i may play all my illegally downloaded mp3 files
[07:44] <ikonia> craigbass1976: try "sh $filename"
[07:44] <salkaembarekahme> yo no se nada de ingles
[07:44] <ikonia> toastydeath: are you trying to troll ? if so please stop
[07:44] <SilentDis> toastydeath, hmm... I have yet to mess with amarok.  Using gnome here, and Exaile! as my music player, sorry
[07:45] <Kronuz> (I want to move all my Ubuntu system from my spare drive to my main RAID disk after I've created the partitions)
[07:45] <toastydeath> no, i'm not trying to ttroll
[07:45] <slv> toastydeath: google "mplayer" and go to the mplayer site. they have a codecs package that will make most everything work
[07:45] <toastydeath> i'm trying to get amarok to work.
[07:45] <rbil> !multimedia | toastydeath
[07:45] <ubotu> toastydeath: For multimedia codecs see: https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html and for applications see this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications

[07:45] <copper> hello - anybody planning on packaging the newly released Audacious media player 1.3.0 for Edgy?
[07:45] <Tobias_> can someone help me:
[07:45] <ikonia> toastydeath: so don't rub your illegal activities in peoples face - I'm not helping you do ilegall stuff
[07:45] <Tobias_> root@KidPaddle:~# nm-applet
[07:45] <Tobias_> (nm-applet:8916): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
[07:45] <con-man> errrrr
[07:45] <slv> toastydeath: trust me, i tried getting codecs here and there, after getting that mplayer package they all worked instantly
[07:45] <ikonia> Tobias_: why are you root ?
[07:45] <con-man> who is logged in as root
[07:45] <Tobias_> it is the network Manager i want to use
[07:45] <ikonia> Tobias_: you're meant to use sudo
[07:45] <craigbass1976> ikonia, I'm getting the same error.  The other script in the same directory though are running ok.  I'm going to see if I can find anything weird in the actual script, but before I even go in I can't for the life of me figure why bash is thinking my text file is a binary.
[07:46] <toastydeath> i will give that a shot slv
[07:46] <ikonia> craigbass1976: very good, excellent attitude
[07:46] <Tobias_> is it a problem that i'm root?
[07:46] <restiffbard> it's insecure
[07:46] <ikonia> Tobias_: in this example - yes
[07:46] <finalbeta> Tobias_: the ubuntu way is not using root.
[07:46] <Tobias_> i see
[07:46] <copper> (http://audacious-media-player.org/Main_Page)
[07:47] <Kazz> craigbass1976: Probably because it's marked as executable? ;)
[07:47] <finalbeta> !sudo | Tobias_
[07:47] <ubotu> Tobias_: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[07:47] <toastydeath> is ubuntu eventually going to incorporate selinux
[07:47] <toastydeath> as like, the baseline install
[07:47] <con-man> Tobias_: pls log out of root
[07:47] <SilentDis> Tobias_, in general, people run a normal user account, and use sudo to execute commands as root on a need basis only.
[07:47] <ikonia> toastydeath: ask in #ubuntu-dev
[07:47] <finalbeta> toastydeath: eventually, most likely yes. But don't hold your breath.
[07:47] <LjL> craigbass1976, hold on a second... you said "file" said it was an UTF-8 textfile?
[07:47] <LjL> craigbass1976: shell scripts should be ASCII
[07:47] <Tobias_> i know what root is: i have some CentOS server
[07:47] <toastydeath> that is some crazy talk.
[07:47] <ikonia> toastydeath: you'll find developers lurking, or check the roadmap
[07:47] <ikonia> toastydeath: what is crazy
[07:47] <craigbass1976> LjL, Is this because I used gedit?
[07:48] <SilentDis> toastydeath, from what i understand, the current process will stand.  Linux > Debian > Ubuntu
[07:48] <con-man> Tobias_: you shouldnt be on irc from your root account
[07:48] <Tobias_> but it doesn't resolve my problem ...
[07:48] <ikonia> con-man: he's not
[07:48] <toastydeath> crazy talk re: maybe possibly i dunno selinux
[07:48] <con-man> oh
[07:48] <con-man> Tobias_: never mind
[07:48] <toastydeath> regarding the ubunutu policy of sudo'ing everything under the sun
[07:48] <Tobias_> i wan't to let my wlan0 work with WPA-PSK
[07:48] <LjL> craigbass1976: dunno, but i'm thinking there's probably some (non-printable, possibly) sneaky characters near the start of the file
[07:48] <LjL> craigbass1976: try "hd filename" and see if there's any characters that shouldn't be there
[07:48] <copper> is there a better place for asking about updating a package?
[07:48] <finalbeta> Tobias_: what chip?
[07:48] <ikonia> craigbass1976: what language to you type in
[07:48] <toastydeath> okay, i found what my problem was
[07:49] <Tobias_> I did install network Manager, following the wiki
[07:49] <ikonia> copper: what package
[07:49] <copper> ikonia: Audacious (1.3.0)
[07:49] <craigbass1976> ikonia, you mean bash, or english?
[07:49] <toastydeath> i forgot to do an apt-get update/grade after installing the first time
[07:49] <toastydeath> now amarok works!
[07:49] <toastydeath> ty people.
[07:49] <Tobias_> but the Icon doesn't display under Applications>Internet
[07:49] <ikonia> craigbass1976: english
[07:49] <ikonia> copper: what do you want to do ?
[07:49] <Kazz> Anyone around yet who can help me with my kernel problem?  LDM seems to be broken in the Ubuntu kernels, and I really need to get it working... :(
[07:49] <copper> "For those of you wondering why Debian/Ubuntu/$distro don't have packages for 1.3.0 final yet, please don't ask in #audacious. We don't maintain those packages, we just provide information about them for your convienience. As for our debian/ubuntu repository, that follows whatever is in Debian unstable, and will be updated when that happens."
[07:49] <ikonia> Kazz: ldm ?
[07:49] <copper> ikonia: there's a new version, but no package yet
[07:49] <craigbass1976> Oh my God.  Have to figure out what hd is dumping onto my screen...
[07:49] <ikonia> copper: sit and wait
[07:49] <Tobias_> finalbeta: the hardware is not a problem: it is the WSA-PSK
[07:50] <copper> ikonia: I'm thinking, whoever handles that just doesn't know about the new version
[07:50] <ikonia> copper: log a bug / request in launchpad
[07:50] <ikonia> copper: they probably do - but arn't always up to date
[07:50] <finalbeta> I know it's a mess. Can't help you then.
[07:50] <Kazz> ikonia: It's for reading the stupid "windows dynamic disk" (SFS) partitions.
[07:50] <ikonia> Kazz: never used that
[07:50] <Tobias_> anyone experience with WPA-PSK?
[07:51] <Kazz> ikonia: Without it, I can't access any of the real partitions on the disk, and it seems to be broken in Ubuntu...
[07:51] <SilentDis> odd one here:  every once in a while apt-index-watcher decides to steal 100% processor for a split second every 5-10 seconds or so.  i usually sudo dpkg-reconfigure apt-index-watcher and the problem goes away.  it's intermittant, and usually only occurs about 1/5 boots.  any suggestions?
[07:52] <ikonia> Kazz: I see
[07:52] <Kazz> ikonia: I tried recompiling from the Ubuntu kernel source, but the results were the same.  I tried compiling 2.6.20 (maybe I should have tried 2.6.17) without any Ubuntu patches, but that wouldn't boot right... :(
[07:52] <ikonia> Kazz: probably to do with the initrd
[07:52] <finalbeta> Tobias_: post on the forums and hope someone knows.
[07:53] <Kazz> ikonia: What it did was stop in the middle of booting and tell me that my /boot partition was messed up and I needed to manually fsck it, but other kernels boot fine, so I'm pretty sure it's not...heh.
[07:53] <ikonia> Kazz: yes that doesn't sound like anything to do with initrd
[07:53] <ikonia> Kazz: that was just the most common cause
[07:54] <copper> ikonia: launchpad requires registration, I guess I'll just wait
[07:54] <BigD> rbil - you still in here?
[07:54] <mozart> please please please can someone help me with installing vmware 5.5.3 workstation on my edgy please
[07:54] <Kazz> ikonia: So should I just expect problems if I try to use anything other than the Ubuntu kernel sources?
[07:54] <copper> thanks for the pointer though
[07:54] <jcaceres> hello how can i list my enviroment variables?
[07:54] <ikonia> copper: register
[07:54] <rbil> BigD: yes
[07:54] <Kazz> mozart: What's the problem now?
[07:54] <LjL> jcaceres: export
[07:54] <ikonia> Kazz: yes, more so if you don't update your initrd
[07:54] <mozart> i am getting nowhere
[07:54] <BigD> rbil - I got it all taken care of.
[07:55] <mozart> i am in sudo su shell
[07:55] <ikonia> !vmware >mozart
[07:55] <rbil> BigD: good
[07:55] <SilentDis> !vmware | mozart
[07:55] <ubotu> mozart: 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
[07:55] <BigD> I removed anything that even mentioned nvidia via synaptic
[07:55] <mozart> i know
[07:55] <mozart> but i need the workstation
[07:55] <kernel_geek> Hello
[07:55] <Kazz> ikonia: I did make a package and install it, so I think that should have taken care of initrd, right?
[07:55] <BigD> rbil - Then I did the most amazing thing. I didn't take a shortcut I went to : http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=336412&highlight=install+latest+nvidia+drivers
[07:55] <kernel_geek> envy ?
[07:56] <ikonia> Kazz: not sure, I don't see why it would
[07:56] <SilentDis> !envy | BigD
[07:56] <ubotu> BigD: 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
[07:56] <Kazz> mozart: Do you know where the files are located?
[07:56] <BigD> Followed instructions and was all set. I now have the nvidia-settings like you said.
[07:56] <XPertKnobTwiddlr> hello...  which kernel flavor is meant for use with a Pentium D processor?  would that be i386 or AMD64 >
[07:56] <XPertKnobTwiddlr> ?
[07:56] <finalbeta> mozart: it's hard to help someone in babysteps for something that large. The ubuntuforums have how to posts on how to install VMware
[07:56] <JamesG> I have this 'Warning' window which pops up in the bottom right of the screen with a 'Hide all' and 'Hide' button, neither of which do anything. The window can't be moved and it has no close button.. Anyone know where this is coming from and/or how to get rid of it?
[07:56] <BigD> SilentDis - I started out trying that
[07:56] <ikonia> XPertKnobTwiddlr: you can use either if your cpu is 64bit
[07:57] <XPertKnobTwiddlr> ikonia: which is optimal?
[07:57] <kernel_geek> 64
[07:57] <SilentDis> BigD, he just released 0.9, has a nice xwindows interface now :D
[07:57] <ikonia> XPertKnobTwiddlr: neither
[07:57] <kernel_geek> but it has less support
[07:57] <ikonia> XPertKnobTwiddlr: whats fit for your purpose
[07:57] <Kazz> ikonia: Well, to make the package I used    fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-custom kernel_image
[07:57] <ikonia> Kazz: ooh it look slike it does
[07:57] <Geoffrey2> when I download a tarball that has the necesarry files for a make and make install....is there an application in Ubuntu that can pull all that together into a deb that synaptic will recognize?
[07:57] <yan> hi guys
[07:57] <mozart> ok i will go have a look thanks guys   :-) sorry i still a noob
[07:58] <pete> JamesG: can you find it using System>Administration>System Monitor?
[07:58] <Kronuz> hey, does anyone know where can I get ntfsresize 1.13.1.1 or later for ubuntu?
[07:58] <Crazytom> ok I got the firmware loaded and i made some progress with my wireless card I can see the ap when i do iwlist eth2 scan now but i can't connect
[07:58] <finalbeta> XPertKnobTwiddlr: in theory 64 bit is better, but Flash and Wine don't run under it I believe.
[07:58] <BigD> SilentDis - I am sure I had the most recent one. I just used less than 12 hours ago. Be that as it may, I am good to go with the video driver. Now on to mounting HD's and printing!
[07:58] <SilentDis> Geoffrey2, I've yet to see a tool that converts .tar.gz > .deb.  the process is a bit more complex than that (dependancy info and all)
[07:58] <denis_on_ubuntu> hey guys, for some reason I get firefox 1.5 as the latest version in Synaptic, how do I get it to show the latest version 9which I know to be 2. whatever) ??
[07:58] <finalbeta> In practice, you wont notice the difference.
[07:58] <SilentDis> BigD, :)
[07:58] <denis_on_ubuntu> first day running linux
[07:58] <Crazytom> can someone point me in the right direction from here?
[07:58] <yan> i'm working on a web frontend to apt-get...i was wondering if anyone knows how the ubuntu update manager obtains changelogs for the new package version (this might be more of an 'apt' question)
[07:58] <Kazz> ikonia: Can I get the Ubuntu version of the 2.6.20 kernel source without completely switching over to the unstable repositories?
[07:58] <piro> anyone here using sabnzbd?
[07:58] <Kazz> I'm not sure if that'd help or not, but it's worth a try I guess...
[07:59] <XPertKnobTwiddlr> finalbeta: ah, ok...  so Pentium D is in fact a 64bit processor and those extra functionalities are properly supportedin the AMD64 kernel for the pentium D ?
[07:59] <SilentDis> !anyone | piro
[07:59] <ubotu> piro: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[07:59] <ikonia> Kazz:  you could just pull it out of the repo
[07:59] <erUSUL> !kernel > Kazz
[07:59] <gnomefreak> yan: join #ubuntu-motu and ask
[07:59] <JamesG> pete: I have no idea what name to look for in the process list.. That's the problem. I don't know what it is that is displaying it. Something to do with Gnome, most likely.. but it could be ubuntu specific. I've certainly never seen it before.
[07:59] <pete> denis_on_ubuntu: Maybe you're using Ubuntu 6.06?
[07:59] <denis_on_ubuntu> hey guys, for some reason I get firefox 1.5 as the latest version in Synaptic, how do I get it to show the latest version 9which I know to be 2. whatever) ?
[07:59] <Geoffrey2> denis_on_ubuntu, what version of Ubuntu?
[07:59] <piro> i am aware of that lol
[07:59] <gnomefreak> denis_on_ubuntu: on dapper?
[07:59] <SilentDis> denis_on_ubuntu, are you using ubuntu 6.06 (dapper drake)?
[07:59] <ikonia> denis_on_ubuntu: firefox 1.5 is the latest current on ubuntu 6.0.6
[07:59] <denis_on_ubuntu> yep on dapper
[07:59] <BigD> denis_on_ubuntu - are you running 6.10?
[07:59] <rbil> denis_on_ubuntu: running dapper? then firefox 1.5 is the latest u can install
[07:59] <gnomefreak> denis_on_ubuntu: that is the latest
[07:59] <denis_on_ubuntu> oh i cant install 2.0? :(
[07:59] <SilentDis> denis_on_ubuntu, you have two options:  !backports or !upgrade :)
[07:59] <Pici> Dont everyone answer at once now
[07:59] <ikonia> denis_on_ubuntu: not from the ubuntu repo's
[08:00] <SilentDis> !backports | denis_on_ubuntu
[08:00] <ubotu> denis_on_ubuntu: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[08:00] <finalbeta> XPertKnobTwiddlr: it's 64bit yes, the rest I don't know about. AMD sounds like it doesn't belong there though.
[08:00] <SilentDis> !upgrade | denis_on_ubuntu
[08:00] <ubotu> denis_on_ubuntu: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[08:00] <Geoffrey2> SilentDis, wouldn't downloading the source from Mozilla work?
[08:00] <pete> denis_on_ubuntu: I think dapper only officially supports 1.5... if you want 2.0, then go to the official mozilla firefox site and download their linux installer
[08:00] <XPertKnobTwiddlr> finalbeta: from what I know, the name "AMD64" doesnt really mean it's an AMD processor.... it's a misnomer
[08:00] <rbil> denis_on_ubuntu: u might be glad, because dapper is stable, edgy, not so stable, and people reports probs with FF2 and Edgy
[08:01] <XPertKnobTwiddlr> ok, so i think this means i should try fiesty-amd64 first, and it it doesnt work, then i can always go back to feisty-i386
[08:01] <SilentDis> Geoffrey2, yes and no.  wouldn't 'overwrite' the package already installed.  he'd end up basically uninstalling the firefox package in apt, then manually installing the newest version, and be on his own for support/upgrades/integration/etc
[08:01] <Crazytom> can someone Please help me with my wireless card?  i'm made some progress
[08:01] <denis_on_ubuntu> that's depressing. I would update to 6.10 through synaptec but the thing is I tried this morning, the download takes 2-3 hours (it's 500 mb?), but the download seems to stall (slow servers?) and stop completely, then seemingly skip a file and goes on to download others, i'm worried it might install it with some missing files
[08:01] <denis_on_ubuntu> can that happen?
[08:01] <olrrai_> hey it is cool: find /  | zenity --progress --pulsate
[08:01] <pete> JamesG: are you still there?
[08:01] <Kazz> ikonia: Okay, thanks.  I'll try...considering that it seems to be broken in all of the Ubuntu .17 kernels though, I'm not sure it's gonna' work...still, worth a try. :)
[08:01] <gnomefreak> SilentDis: dont ever uninstall firefox
[08:01] <gnomefreak> !firefox
[08:01] <ubotu> firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins
[08:01] <Kazz> ...but maybe lunch first...
[08:01] <JamesG> pete: Yep
[08:01] <gnomefreak> read the newversion link
[08:02] <finalbeta> XPertKnobTwiddlr: it seems so, it's the instruction set name created by AMD but supported by Intel.
[08:02] <pete> JamesG: try this: open a terminal, and type "xwininfo" and then click on the offending window
[08:02] <Crazytom> the Card now see's the ap but won't connect
[08:02] <SilentDis> gnomefreak, yeah, it causes a lot of headaches.  that's why I said it the way I did :)
[08:02] <finalbeta> XPertKnobTwiddlr: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD64
[08:02] <rbil> denis_on_ubuntu: my upgrade from dapper to edgy comprised downloading over 1200 packages and took 7 hours!
[08:02] <JamesG> pete: xwininfo: Window id: 0x302a4ba (has no name)
[08:03] <abasinisvacant> how long does it usually take to upgrade from ubuntu to dapper?
[08:03] <finalbeta> XPertKnobTwiddlr: best go with the AMD64 one then.
[08:03] <JamesG> pete: So, quite a nifty tool that one, but it's not telling me anything useful :(
[08:03] <SilentDis> abasinisvacant, depends on the speed of your 'net connection
[08:03] <abasinisvacant> silentdis, my net connection is faster than dial up, slower than cable
[08:03] <rbil> SilentDis: has little to do with speed of net connection and all to do with how much the mirrors are throttled down
[08:03] <SilentDis> abasinisvacant, you've got around 200-300mb of data to pull, i believe, if that helps.
[08:04] <abasinisvacant> yes that does help, thanks
[08:04] <rbil> SilentDis: some of those servers deliver so slow, a 300 baud modem connection would be as fast
[08:04] <SilentDis> rbil, dialup can still only pull 4k/sec :)
[08:04] <pete> JamesG: hmm, that's a pity. you might be able to get rid of it with "xkill" and then clicking on the window, but I don't know the cause
[08:04] <ikonia> Kazz: have you logged a bug
[08:04] <finalbeta> For me downloads are faster then installing packages, and especially upgrading, upgrading from dapper to edgy took 4 hours. (messy upgrade process), from edgy to feisty 1.30hours
[08:04] <JamesG> pete: Nope, doesn't work
[08:04] <SilentDis> rbil, yes, but most of the time apt grabs multiple packages at once, so that slow one won't slow ya down too much
[08:05] <rbil> SilentDis: I just said it took me over 7 hours to do the upgrade from dapper to edgy. And I have a fast internet connection. It's the servers that are throttled down.
[08:05] <Kronuz> help! I need ntfsresize 1.13.1 (with vista support)
[08:05] <abasinisvacant> what's the website to where i can download the upgrade?
[08:05] <Kronuz> but the one in the Synaptic is 1.12
[08:06] <SilentDis> rbil, ouch!  I didn't see that, sorry.  you won't get much sympathy from me though, i live in the boonies and am stuck on dialup.  I order DVDs each new version :P
[08:06] <denis_on_ubuntu> hm
[08:06] <Kronuz> does anyone know where can I get 1.13.1 ?
[08:06] <answerguy> I have a question that drives me crazy about GNOME:  I want to set up a post-imaging script that adds a simple xterm terminal icon to the main GNOME menu panel ... using some sort of post-install script
[08:06] <rbil> Frankly, Ubuntu's mirrors are a joke. They're the slowest servers I've ever encountered.
[08:07] <denis_on_ubuntu> i cant get the sudo nvidia-glx-config enable thing to work either
[08:07] <finalbeta> rbil: I use the main servers, I download at 800KB on average.
[08:07] <raven3x7> hi
[08:07] <pete> I download typically at 500kB/s
[08:07] <Kazz> Kronuz: I think linux-ntfs.org might be the main site for it...
[08:08] <rbil> finalbeta: well maybe I need to change mirrors :-) if that's the case
[08:08] <denis_on_ubuntu> so i can run beryl at some point :( if i ever get that far
[08:08] <rbil> finalbeta: what is the address of those fast main servers?
[08:08] <Crazytom> how can i force my wireless card to connect to an ap it sees?
[08:08] <hawkeye> my downloads tend to flucuate wildly from ubuntu's servers, between 40K/s and 700K/s
[08:08] <Kronuz> Kazz, but I'll have to compile...
[08:08] <answerguy> Incidentally I'm playing with the kickstart support in Feisty ... and I've got some stuff working using url --url http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu but I'm having trouble setting up a minimal mirror on my local server
[08:08] <finalbeta> denis_on_ubuntu: Beryl is nothing more then a toy. don't waste 2 much time on it.
[08:08] <rbil> hawkeye: mine are using in the 40K and lower using ca.
[08:09] <Kazz> ikonia: No, I haven't.  I'm not 100% positive that it's a bug yet, as this is the first time I've tried to use LDM...I'm almost positive it is, but until I get it working, I don't want to file a bug report.
[08:09] <denis_on_ubuntu> fair enough, but i still want to try it out hehe
[08:09] <SilentDis> finalbeta, I agree with you on the 'toy' aspect... but beryl is a VERY pretty toy... lol
[08:09] <raven3x7>  any idea why my webcam doesnt work in kopete? i see it in configuration->devices but nothing happens when i send it through msn? additionally i dont receive anything either
[08:09] <ikonia> Kazz: log a bug anyway, if its not , they'll just close it
[08:09] <denis_on_ubuntu> sides, i want to figure out why beryl wont run
[08:09] <Kazz> Kronuz: You could also check the unstable repositories...
[08:09] <Geoffrey2> ok....fakeroot....that works with ubuntu?
[08:09] <rbil> finalbeta: certainly some stability probs with beryl, but far more than a toy in my opinion. Makes my desktop far more productive.
[08:09] <Kazz> ikonia: Okay, where do I do that?

[08:10] <rbil> fatpelt: I prefer beryl over compiz
[08:10] <finalbeta> fatpelt: that's possible, but the reverse is possible 2. they are both no more then alfa software. At least compiz doesn't try to hide that.
[08:10] <answerguy> ikonia because it is a feature that's being added to the installer
[08:11] <XPertKnobTwiddlr> finalbeta, et al:  thanks for the help
[08:11] <raven3x7> anyone?
[08:11] <Crazytom> what does this mean? ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth2: link is not ready
[08:11] <fatpelt> finalbeta: very true
[08:11] <SilentDis> answerguy, we don't ignore people here.  what happens is the room scrolls so fast, we miss things.  just give us a few moments, and ask again :)
[08:11] <Kazz> ikonia: Okay, thanks. :)
[08:11] <ikonia> answerguy: I thought it was already in - but really awkward to use with the debian-installer
[08:11] <answerguy> You can do a PXE boot and pass a ks=http://....*-ks.cfg argument
[08:11] <Kazz> I'm gonna' go eat something and then I'll give this all another shot.
[08:11] <ikonia> answerguy: there is a package in the repo from 6.06 on it
[08:12] <raven3x7> additionally when i check msn ports with azureus' nat tester i get this: "NAT Error - Connection to 85.74.52.131:6891 closed - end of stream during read.
[08:12] <raven3x7> "
[08:12] <answerguy> Yeah, I'm using it successfully --- but I want to create a limited mirror with just the necessary installation components in it.
[08:12] <Crazytom> SilentDis, I've been asking for about an hour and haven't had anyone tell  me anything except ask your question after i had already asked it
[08:12] <ikonia> answerguy: thats interesting that you have it working
[08:13] <answerguy> Or better, I'd like to get a DVD image (happily pay for the actual DVDs) and use that with my existing kickstart server
[08:13] <Geoffrey2> ok, the command I am supposed to use is 'fakeroot debian/rules binary'.....does that sound like something that would work here?
[08:13] <Crazytom> SilentDis, I've been asking for about an hour and haven't had anyone tell  me anything except ask your question after i had already asked it
[08:13] <Crazytom> what does this mean? ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth2: link is not ready
[08:13] <UB`> is normal that some apps dont start in last desktop position?
[08:13] <mike1o> hey ubuntu dudes... what's a good irc client besides xchat?
[08:13] <ikonia> answerguy: if it works the same as redhat - you can do that
[08:13] <answerguy> (What I do with CentOS, Fedora and others is loop mount the ISO images and export those via NFS and HTTP ... adding PXE/TFTP entries for their kernels and initrd images
[08:13] <pete> Crazytom: it means something is awry with your network adapter
[08:14] <ikonia> mike1o: search the repo's its just personal opinion
[08:14] <duncan> BitchX used to be nice, for the console.
[08:14] <denis_on_ubuntu> I have a widescreen, and before I set the resolution to 1280x800, it was all stretched.  But I liked the way the fonts were "fatter", they were easier to read for me.  Now that I have 1280x800, the fonts were slimmed down.  Is there a way to keep this 1280x800 resolution but have the fonts be like in the other resolution?
[08:14] <UB`> mike1o try Gaim but I prefer xchat
[08:14] <Crazytom> pete, i've been trying to get it to connect to my wireless router all day but now atleast it's seeing it
[08:15] <answerguy> ikonia ... Well, I'm encountering a few minor problems.  The lilo installer is failing because it's not generating the correct lilo.conf; and the local mirror was complaining that one of the Packages.gz files was corrupt.
[08:15] <ikonia> ahhh lilo
[08:15] <pete> Crazytom: does your wireless network have security?
[08:16] <mike1o> UB`, ikonia: doesnt seem to be a lot of good clients out there... xchat is ok... but kvirc is more powerful... and lately doesn't work on gnome anymore...  (it used to)
[08:16] <Crazytom> pete i turned all the security off
[08:16] <answerguy> I'll straighten all that out eventually.  Just hoping to hook up with someone who's been doing this already --- and trying to get in any bug reports or fixes before Feisty is completely frozen and ships
[08:16] <pete> Crazytom: oh, and it still can't connect?
[08:16] <bullgard1> What is the Ubuntu command to output a beep on a console?
[08:16] <Crazytom> pete nope
[08:16] <denis_on_ubuntu> bah
[08:16] <pete> Crazytom: but presumably you can connect to that router in windows?
[08:16] <denis_on_ubuntu> ENVY does not detect my card :(
[08:16] <newman> what's the command to install java 6 on shell and the flash 9 non free plugin ?
[08:16] <Crazytom> pete it shows up in iwlist eth2 scan
[08:17] <Crazytom> pete yes windows works with this card
[08:17] <Kronuz> Kazz, what unstable repositories?
[08:17] <Kronuz> what are the unstable repositories?
[08:17] <newman> any one knows how to install java 6 from the shell ?
[08:17] <newman> and the non free flash 9 plugin for firefox?
[08:18] <Crazytom> pete i have eth1 and eth2 able to see the ap in iwlist but neither can connect
[08:18] <dyrne> bulmer: nohup cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp& if i recall
[08:18] <eck> newman: use aptitude/apt-cache to search for them
[08:18] <eck> newman: e.g. aptitude search flash
[08:18] <pete> Crazytom: you have 2 wireless cards?
[08:18] <ardchoille> Kazz: Are you using debian repos in Ubuntu?
[08:18] <answerguy> bullgard1: the Debian package was named "beep"
[08:18] <newman> no the command was like apt-get install java6 jre something like that
[08:18] <newman> can u tell me it again i forgott
[08:19] <answerguy> bullgard1: try apt-cache search beep
[08:19] <eck> newman: apt-get install (package name)
[08:19] <Crazytom> pete i have about 30 but two are installed one is a built in the other is a linksys
[08:19] <eck> use aptitude to find the package name
[08:19] <eck> otherwise you will be in here every time you want to use a new program
[08:19] <ignus> hi, is there a way to have an app launch from the applications menu but run as root?
[08:19] <pete> Crazytom: make sure the router is plugged in
[08:20] <iulian_> hi, I have ubuntu 6.10. Can someone tell me where I find installed programs? For example what is the path to lynx
[08:20] <Crazytom> pete i'm not an idiot i'm talking to you through it, though i know you're only covering the bases
[08:20] <eck> iulian_: which lynx
[08:20] <Kronuz> where is an unstable repository, I need ntfsresize 1.13.1
[08:20] <eck> (that's the command, in case it wasn't clear)
[08:20] <Ferret> iulian_: dpkg -L lynx | grep bin/
[08:20] <zorkmid25> I think ann coulters penis is bigger than mine
[08:20] <dyrne> iulian_: you should just have to type lynx  but which lynx   or dpkg -L lynx will word depending
[08:21] <tonyyarusso> zorkmid25: offtopic and inappropriate
[08:21] <Crazytom> pete it's definately a software problem
[08:21] <zorkmid25> I feel it to be relevant to ubuntu
[08:21] <iulian_> Ferret, thank you
[08:21] <newman> hi tony i forgott command to install from shell java 6 can u remember me it please?
[08:21] <newman> apt-get install then ?
[08:21] <Crazytom> pete: thanks for the help btw
[08:22] <pete> Crazytom: haha, sorry. I was hoping it would be something easy like that, because I haven't gotten wireless to work either, but I just haven't really bothered about it
[08:22] <joe_> hello
[08:22] <tonyyarusso> !java | newman
[08:22] <ubotu> newman: 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

[08:23] <Crazytom> pete oh
[08:23] <denis_on_ubuntu> guys is there any way for me to enable the composite stuff to maek beryl work? :|
[08:24] <wonpc> hm...
[08:24] <mbac> how do you tell nickserv to email you your password?
[08:24] <ardchoille> denis_on_ubuntu: You might ask in #ubuntu-effects
[08:24] <tonyyarusso> mbac: I don't know that you can
[08:24] <oops> anyone here worked with Rutil?
[08:25] <ardchoille> mbac: You'll need to speak with a freenode staffer
[08:25] <joe_> I want to use XGL, but I got bad graphic errors( :-) ). I'm using an ATI graphic card with fglxr driver
[08:25] <mbac> really? i could've sworn it said to set my email address when i registered so passwords could be emailed
[08:25] <Crazytom> can someone help me get my wireless card to associate?  I'm soooo close i can almost taste it
[08:25] <Vaalth> hey
[08:25] <abasinisvacant> can someone point me toward the direction of where i can find the link to dapper upgrade
[08:26] <ardchoille> mbac: Yes, staffers can email your password to you, that is what the email entry was for.
[08:26] <eck> !upgrade > abasinisvacant
[08:26] <Vaalth> i just installed ubuntu hoary because my windows install was corrupted, but its giving me an error when starting x
[08:26] <Vaalth> im in irssi atm but dont know how to get any kind of graphical interface
[08:26] <newman> ok i just nead the non free plugins now what are they called again tony?
[08:26] <mbac> Vaalth, what's the error?
[08:26] <Dna^> hallo
[08:26] <newman> the one that should be flash 9
[08:27] <oops> no answer?
[08:27] <oops> anyone here worked with Rutil?
[08:27] <Dna^> totem don't read me .wmv files
[08:27] <ardchoille> Vaalth: irssi is a text-mode irc client. If you're in irssi, you have all the "ui" you're going to get.
[08:27] <BigD> OK - quick westion about mount points. Shouldn't it go in the mnt folder and not mdeia?
[08:27] <mbac> oh, when i installed pymol on edgy from package manager it tried to exec /usr/bin/python2.4.4
[08:27] <mbac> which doesn't exist
[08:27] <Vaalth> i know that ardchoille. just trying to figure out how to get x working ;)
[08:27] <mbac> i fixed it with ln -s  but i figurei t's a package bug
[08:27] <ardchoille> Vaalth: Ah, sorry about that.
[08:27] <iulian_> how can I find what's the time on a linux machine?
[08:27] <Vaalth> something about a screen not found
[08:27] <tonyyarusso> iulian_: 'date'
[08:27] <ardchoille> iulian_: type: date
[08:27] <EADG> What is the CLI called when yu first boot up... before startx fires up the gui? Shell? Xterm? tty1?
[08:28] <Vaalth> it shows the correct type of card above in the logs too
[08:28] <Vaalth> ATI Radeon x800 Pro
[08:28] <iulian_> tonyyarusso, ardchoille, thanks
[08:28] <darkcommon> why I have GTK2 disabled?? I have Beryl installed, and I have the root theme on my Ubuntu (its ugly) I can't configure the keyboard too!, I have an es-ES 105t keyboard, I changed my graphics card only!! (the VIA OnBoard can't run Beryl)
[08:28] <Dna^> how i do to totem read me .wmv files?
[08:28] <mbac> Vaalth, that's the error message of everything else failing to connect to X, i imagine
[08:28] <mbac> because X isn't running
[08:28] <mbac> look through /var/log/Xorg.log
[08:29] <Vaalth> how would i go about doing that and what should i look for?
[08:29] <eck> newman: if you followed the instructions i sent you for searching for packages you would know the package name
[08:29] <Darius08x> Hi guys, wondering if you can help me out with a ubuntu install. I've tried multiple times using the two most recent versions, and every time I boot up the live cd on my laptop, it freezes and I can't get anything on the desktop to load. The cd's work just fine on any other computer though so I know thats not a problem. I've gotten another version of linux installed on my latop (through a network install) But it gives me difficulti
[08:29] <mbac> less /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[08:29] <eck> newman: try aptitude search flash
[08:29] <Vaalth> less /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[08:29] <Darius08x> Is there a network install for ubuntu, or any other option I can use?
[08:29] <mbac> keep scrolling until the info messages start looking more like error messages ;)
[08:29] <Vaalth> oops lol
[08:29] <newman> ok thanx
[08:29] <newman> i use kubuntu btw
[08:30] <tonyyarusso> Darius08x: I'd recommend giving the !alternate CD a shot
[08:30] <Darius08x> Where do I find that?
[08:30] <newman> why does ubuntu go more then kubuntu tony?
[08:30] <eck> Darius08x: there is also a network iso if you browse the ubuntu mirrors
[08:30] <tonyyarusso> newman: come again?
[08:30] <Darius08x> wait, think I may have just found it.
[08:30] <Vaalth> how to i "alt+tab" out of irssi so i can type that command?
[08:30] <newman> what u mean?
[08:30] <newman> come again
[08:30] <BigD> OK - quick question about mount points. Why does it go in the media folder and not mnt? Isn't that what mnt stands for?
[08:30] <Darius08x> The alternate install CD allows you to perform certain specialist installations of Ubuntu. It provides for the following situations: ok I found that.
[08:30] <ardchoille> Vaalth: You on tty1?
[08:31] <tonyyarusso> newman: what do you mean by "go more"
[08:31] <Vaalth> dont even know what that is :(
[08:31] <Darius08x> But what about a network install? I'd want to try that since I got a diffrent linux to work that way.
[08:31] <newman> well is n1 on charts and kubuntu is not i mean
[08:31] <newman> like people use more ubuntu
[08:31] <tonyyarusso> Darius08x: You could do that too, see !install for a link about that
[08:32] <tonyyarusso> newman: personal preference
[08:32] <matej> how to turn off the vlc if i can only see it in ps aux (but not with kill or killall?)?
[08:32] <eck> Darius08x: http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/ubuntu/dists/edgy/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/
[08:32] <newman> i see but kde is more complite and pretty vs gnome
[08:32] <darkcommon>  why I have GTK2 disabled?? I have Beryl installed, and I have the root theme on my Ubuntu (its ugly) I can't configure the keyboard too!, I have an es-ES 105t keyboard, I changed my graphics card only!! (the VIA OnBoard can't run Beryl)

[08:32] <newman> so can't understand why plus kubuntu is cooler
[08:32] <mbac> matej, what's wrong with using kill?
[08:32] <Darius08x> ok thank you guys, I'll be back later if it doesn't work out
[08:32] <tonyyarusso> !repeat | darkcommon
[08:32] <ubotu> darkcommon: 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
[08:32] <matej> mbac, all settings is forgoten then
[08:32] <darkcommon> ...
[08:32] <mbac> kill <pid> is supposed to be a normal shutdown
[08:33] <darkcommon> Dont say me what I need to do ok?
[08:33] <mbac> which means it ought to save settings?
[08:33] <eck> Darius08x: the mini.iso will boot into a netboot environment, or you can use the tarball to install from hdd media
[08:33] <darkcommon> I only NEED A ANSWER!!!
[08:33] <nikkelitous> My USB isn't working in 6.10 dmesg says "ohci_hcd Unlink after no-IRQ?  Controller is probably using the wrong IRQ." anyone have any idea on how to fix it?
[08:33] <tonyyarusso> darkcommon: then you'll have to be patient and hope for the best.  Everyone here is volunteers.
[08:33] <matej> mbac, aha tnx i didnt know, what about killall?
[08:34] <newman> ok tony i think we should make a war so everyone uses kubuntu i said so
[08:34] <newman> ok?
[08:34] <darkcommon> tonyyarusso... argh... Im too a helper, I help everybody, and ANY helps me with Beryl,,,,
[08:34] <mbac> matej, that doesn't mean it WILL save settings, just that it should ;)
[08:34] <dyrne> darkcommon: you are working against yourself when you spam like that :) .  are you having trouble installing a theme?
[08:34] <tonyyarusso> darkcommon: You might try #ubuntu-xgl
[08:34] <mbac> matej, killall is just a more convenient version of kill
[08:34] <newman> every one go to kde
[08:34] <ompaul> darkcommon, if you want to ask a beryl question perhaps #ubuntu-effects would be the best place to talk about it
[08:34] <tonyyarusso> or #beryl
[08:34] <mbac> if you say kill -9 it won't save nothing
[08:34] <matej> mbac, aha. okay tnx
[08:34] <tonyyarusso> newman: No, that would be trolling.
[08:34] <newman> im joking come on
[08:34] <newman> can't u get alien humor
[08:35] <newman> tony is a cool guy
[08:35] <newman> tony manero :D

[08:37] <tonyyarusso> !automatix | JasonDM
[08:37] <ubotu> JasonDM: 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
[08:37] <mbac> trolling is like how your little brother tries to get attention when you're hanging out with friends.  he can't engage you intellectually so instead he acts like a brat so you have to respond
[08:37] <PiNE> my totem movie player is crashing with this output from a terminal:  Creating link /home/_user_name_/.kde/socket-home. can't create mcop directory.  how would i fix it?
[08:37] <dyrne> Nalleman: not sure what print service is called in init.d but you might 'sudo /etc/init.d/cupsd restart' or cups restart
[08:37] <infidel> ardchoille, thanks
[08:38] <PiNE> oh yeah, i don't even use kde.
[08:38] <olrrai_> bye
[08:38] <apokryphos> !automatix

[08:38] <ardchoille> infidel: You're welcome :)
[08:38] <eck> nikkelitous: it's somewhere in /proc
[08:38] <eck> i forget where exactly
[08:38] <newman> don't use automatix brakes os
[08:38] <newman> don't brake my balls
[08:38] <eck> maybe /proc/irq :-)
[08:38] <EADG> How do I copy text from Nano and paste in CLI - with no mouse and the gui not running?
[08:38] <riaal> Do I need to use a extra software firewall for ubuntu?
[08:38] <nikkelitous> eck: alright, I'll check
[08:39] <Crazytom> can someone help me get my wireless card to associate?  I'm soooo close i can almost taste it
[08:39] <apokryphos> riaal: /msg ubotu firewall
[08:39] <mindstate> is there a quicktime plugin for firefox?
[08:39] <JasonDM> ok, so, automatix isn't an option, I suppose
[08:39] <eck> EADG: i think you need at least a mouse with something like gpm
[08:39] <eck> gpm has the same copy/paste conventions as X11
[08:39] <riaal> !firewall
[08:39] <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).
[08:39] <ardchoille> JasonDM: Correct
[08:39] <newman> riall use firestarter
[08:39] <dyrne> !easybuntu> JasonDM might be
[08:39] <Nalleman> JasonDM, I think automatix is great, from what i have heard its ok if you install programs and keep away from drivers (but i might be wrong)
[08:39] <infidel> ardchoille, you know anything about the grub splash screen?
[08:39] <mbac> Crazytom, you do realize tht Microsoft has spent maybe tens of billions to develop a broad market consumer desktop solution?  the linux community has developed some impressive stuff but keep it in perspective, man
[08:40] <ardchoille> infidel: No, I don't use it.
[08:40] <EADG> Thanks... will definatly look into it. Send response for gpm.
[08:40] <Daemonik> What's the legal reason that Ubuntu doesn't ship with an MP3 decoder by default?
[08:40] <dyrne> JasonDM: envy is a script alot of people use for that. never used it myself
[08:40] <EADG> err... *second*
[08:40] <JasonDM> MP3 is proprietary
[08:40] <riaal> if firestarter it is, thanks
[08:40] <mbac> daemonik, the mp3 algorithm is patented and the patent holder says mp3 encoding requires a license
[08:40] <Crazytom> mbac so that post made it out hunh?
[08:40] <eck> EADG: you can also do it with screen
[08:40] <JasonDM> where can one find this "envy," dyrne?
[08:40] <mbac> Crazytom, twice ;)
[08:40] <Daemonik> mbac, Does decoding require a license too?
[08:40] <Crazytom> interesting i was disconnected at the time
[08:40] <Pici> !envy | JasonDM
[08:40] <ubotu> JasonDM: envy is a Python script that eases installation of the official Nvidia and ATI drivers. Please see http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html . Developers may be interested in https://launchpad.net/products/envy - See also !Nvidia
[08:41] <JasonDM> that's quite useful...
[08:41] <Crazytom> mbac sry for the twice
[08:41] <EADG> eck: Screen? Please elaborate.
[08:41] <mbac> Daemonik, it can at any moment in the future if they say so. i think right now they don't require it.
[08:41] <JasonDM> thanks, pici, ubotu ;] 
[08:41] <Crazytom> mbac i'm frustrated that my wireless card is doing weird things
[08:41] <Vaalth> hey, i found the exact errors im getting when starting x
[08:41] <eck> EADG: search for 'GNU Screen'
[08:42] <EADG> will do.
[08:42] <BigD> How about making an auto mount point for all users? Is that possible or is it something I have to set up for each person?
[08:42] <Vaalth> (WW) ATI: PCI Mach64 in slot 5:0:0 could not be detected
[08:42] <EADG> !screen
[08:42] <ubotu> screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen
[08:42] <eck> EADG: it is a really cool application, but it is also kind of complicated
[08:42] <Vaalth> then the same error except 5:0:1
[08:42] <mindstate> is there a quicktime plugin for firefox?
[08:42] <Daemonik> mbac, I work for a small company that sells machines and we want to sell them with Ubuntu on them. We don't really have to worry about getting into any trouble selling the machines with the Gstreamer ugly packages installed by default do we? We want MP3 playing and things like that to work out of the box.
[08:42] <Vaalth> and then (EE) No devices detected!
[08:42] <Vaalth> Fatal server error: No screens found
[08:42] <Crazytom> mbac i've been sitting on here for an hour asking questions and only one person helped and only to ask if my router was plugged in
[08:42] <tonyyarusso> Daemonik: Legally speaking, yeah, you need to worry about it.  :(
[08:43] <tonyyarusso> Daemonik: you'd probably be better off just making it really easy - put a link on the desktop to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats or something
[08:43] <Vaalth> anyone know what would caus that and/or how to fix it?
[08:43] <EADG> eck:  I saw a blurb about it while reading up on irssi, and your right, it does look abit complicated. But it looks like I could kill 2 birds with one stone if I learnt it... irssi and c/p.
[08:43] <mindstate> is there a quicktime plugin for firefox?
[08:43] <Daemonik> tonyyarusso, What if I just put a script on the desktop with a pop up "install MP3 codecs?" and they click yes??
[08:44] <UT_Guest_651> wow, alot of people
[08:44] <Kronuz> hey, once I have my partitions ready, how can I copy EVERYTHING there (as to move a whole Ubuntu system from a disk to other)
[08:44] <tonyyarusso> Daemonik: That should be fine, as long as the script does the downloading as well as the installing.
[08:44] <Kronuz> (keeping the permissions and stuff
[08:44] <mbac> daemonik, you're probably in the clear legally, so long as you say "You hereby represent that you are allowed to download this codec in your legal jurisdiction"
[08:44] <UT_Guest_651> Where should I turn for a question?
[08:45] <mbac> but, you know, none of us are lawyers
[08:45] <posingaspopular> !ask
[08:45] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:45] <UT_Guest_651> I just tried running ubuntu for the first time...
[08:45] <_Krull_> Does a user with the desktop version of 6.10 need a firewall installed?
[08:45] <eck> EADG: if you do any ssh work, it is a must have application
[08:45] <mbac> Crazytom, i just got here man, i have no idea what you're talking about
[08:45] <dyrne> UT_Guest_651: this is the place

[08:45] <z9999> Trying to play a .mov file using Totem on Ubuntu 6.06 and get error msg that I do not have decoder necessary. What decoder do I need?
[08:45] <Vaalth> hmm.. actually.. is there a way to download the latest version of ubuntu to my pc and install it from the command line?
[08:45] <Vaalth> im running hoary atm
[08:45] <TSWoodV> raven_: netstat -an and look for the port number
[08:45] <tonyyarusso> raven_: nmapfe
[08:45] <riaal> is it normal for Samba to show in the firestarter event list, when not using it manualy? =S
[08:45] <UT_Guest_651> allright, I tried to run ubuntu from the CD, it loaded, and right when it was finished I get a black screen, and I get a monitor-error saying something like "frequency out of range" -_-'

[08:46] <TSWoodV> Crazytom: What's the problem with the card?
[08:46] <raven_> tonyyarusso, thanks
[08:46] <Kronuz> please, help me!! :P
[08:47] <UT_Guest_651> Vaalth: Yes! but I never "tried" using any particluar resolution. :)
[08:47] <riaal> why is firestarter listing SAMBA in the event log???
[08:47] <mbac> Crazytom, well, some people decide that even though Linux is free, their time is worth so much per hour that paying $N00 for Windows is cheaper for them
[08:47] <Crazytom> TSWoodV, I didn't have the firmware originally and now it just won't connect but it see's it in iwlist
[08:47] <BigD> If I add this to fstab - /dev/hdb1       /media/music    fat32    defaults       0       0
[08:47] <BigD> then run this - sudo chown -R USERNAME:USERNAME /media/music
[08:47] <BigD> Will I be the only person to use that HD?
[08:47] <posingaspopular> !enter
[08:47] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[08:47] <Kronuz> I want to move all files (I installed ubuntu in a spare disk, but I want to move it to my main RAID arrays now)... however I don't know how to move everything, just doing cp wouldn't keep the users/permissions, would it?
[08:48] <Vaalth> UT_Guest_651 : this is before you choose your preferred resolution?
[08:48] <alecjw> hi. what program can you use which will take still iamges from a webcam feed?
[08:48] <mindstate> is there a quicktime plugin for firefox?
[08:48] <eck> BigD: no, fat32 does not have user ownerships, it is a mount time option
[08:48] <mindstate> alecjw, xawtv
[08:48] <UT_Guest_651> Vaalth: yes, it loaded, got to 100%, I was expecting to see ubuntu for the first time, and then..black!
[08:48] <eck> BigD: i think you need to use an option like uid=something,gid=something
[08:48] <_Krull_> Does a user with the desktop version of 6.10 need a firewall installed?
[08:48] <riaal> Im dying here! why is "samba" showing in firestarter event log???
[08:49] <ardchoille> _Krull_: There is already a firewall installed.
[08:49] <eck> BigD: probably a umask in there too
[08:49] <EADG> eck: ssh - not just yet, cli ftp for now. Need to get abit more comfortable with the basics before ssh.
[08:49] <tonyyarusso> !firewall > _Krull_ see msg from ubotu
[08:49] <posingaspopular> _Krull_: generally, no, but you install anotherone
[08:49] <BigD> eck - where would I find more information about that?
[08:49] <sebastian> hi
[08:49] <Vaalth> UT_Guest_651 : sorry, but i don't know how to fix that. if you stick around someone here should be able to help you though. :)
[08:49] <eck> BigD: it's in the mount man page :-)  the basic idea though is that you would put those options in where you currently have the word 'defaults'
[08:49] <UT_Guest_651> Vaalth, oki, thanx mate. SHould I keep repeating my question?
[08:50] <alecjw> mindstate, it says on the website that tis for tv viewing....
[08:50] <Crazytom> TSWoodV, do you have any ideas?
[08:50] <posingaspopular> UT_Guest_651: periodically yes, but dont spam
[08:50] <UT_Guest_651> :D
[08:50] <BigD> eck - mount man page? Is that in the Ubuntu Forum site somewhere?
[08:50] <mindstate> alecjw, ive used xawtv to show my webcam
[08:50] <Vaalth> UT_Guest_651 : if no one answers then yes, but not too often. ;)
[08:50] <LePoulpe303> ikonia: ping ?
[08:50] <eck> BigD: man mount
[08:50] <Vaalth> is there anyone here knowledgable with x that would be able to help me with a fatal error im getting?
[08:51] <TSWoodV> Crazytom: What card/chipset is this?
[08:51] <posingaspopular> when do you get this 'frequency out of range' error
[08:51] <eck> BigD: there is a section of the man page describing all the mount options for different filesystems
[08:51] <mindstate> man can someone tell me if there's a quicktime plugin for firefox?
[08:51] <Vaalth> (WW) ATI: PCI Mach64 in slot 5:0:0 could not be detected
[08:51] <alecjw> mindstate, and is it graphical? this is ofr a fairly computer illterate friend who wants a way of capturing still from his webcam without openign a terminal.....
[08:51] <Crazytom> broadcom 43xx
[08:51] <Kronuz> ...wish me luck with my ntfsresize ;)
[08:51] <UT_Guest_651> Waalth: Do you think it has to do with my tv-out? I have no clue how ubuntu handles tv-out. also I have two display-outputs, one dig and one ana.
[08:51] <Vaalth> or if anyone could google it and tell me what they find it would be awesome ;)
[08:51] <UT_Guest_651> *Vaalth
[08:51] <mindstate> alecjw, im not sure
[08:51] <posingaspopular> UT_Guest_651: http://www.ubuntux.org/frequency-out-of-range
[08:52] <UT_Guest_651> w00t
[08:52] <newman> http://www.channelchooser.com/ who is able to view this and what plugins u nead?
[08:52] <BigD> eck - where is this man page?
[08:52] <riaal> please? anyone using "firestarter"? ?
[08:52] <Vaalth> UT_Guest_651 : i have no idea :(
[08:52] <eck> BigD: you read the man page by entering the command 'man mount' in a terminal
[08:53] <BigD> eck - OH...sorry I was thnking a web page. Sorry.
[08:53] <darkcommon> no problem users!! I doed gnome-settings-daemon, an all are good, I'm ok tody!!
[08:53] <Vaalth> !update
[08:53] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[08:54] <eck> BigD: most of the man pages are online (just google 'man mount') if you are more comfortable viewing them in a browser (probably a good idea if you do not know how to search in less)
[08:54] <BigD> eck - excellent idea. I will do that and report back
[08:54] <riaal> shall I "Lock Firewall" when firestarter is running in tray?
[08:54] <matej> When i wanna open teamspeak always ask me what to do..open in terminal or open as program! How to disable this?
[08:54] <goomie> is there a english dictionary package i need to install to use spell check?
[08:55] <Vaalth> is there a text-based web browser i can use when not running x?
[08:55] <erUSUL> Vaalth: links lynx
[08:55] <erUSUL> Vaalth: w3m
[08:55] <EADG> lynx
[08:55] <ardchoille> Vaalth: There are several. elinks and lynx come to mind but there are more
[08:55] <mindstate> Vaalth, or elinks
[08:55] <Vaalth> thanks a bunch :)
[08:56] <Vaalth> are those all included in ubuntu?
[08:56] <ardchoille> Vaalth: If you don't yet use screen, you might wanna learn about that.
[08:56] <Vaalth> screen
[08:56] <Vaalth> oops
[08:56] <Vaalth> no idea wtf im doing XD
[08:56] <ardchoille> !screen
[08:56] <ubotu> screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen
[08:57] <felipeee> hello every body, how can i connect via my adsl modem, getting Dinamic IP via DHCP on my eth0?
[08:57] <Vaalth> ardchoille : do you think you could google an error im getting for me? having trouble with all this text-based stuff :P
[08:57] <mindstate> lol
[08:57] <ardchoille> Vaalth: I use screen to run irssi (irc), elinks (browser), mutt( email), and mc (file manager) all in a screen session in tty1
[08:58] <Vaalth> kk
[08:58] <_Krull_> !lptables
[08:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lptables - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:58] <Vaalth> ill be back! :P
[08:58] <CrypTom> Hi, I've got a problem with the ubuntu kernel "-server": The keyboard of my server (a normal pc) stops working after grub hands over control to the kernel. This does not happen with the -generic kernel.
[08:58] <eck> felipeee: dhcp should be done automatically, if not you can use the dhclient command
[08:58] <tonyyarusso> ardchoille: do you have a good guide for writing a muttrc?
[08:58] <LePoulpe403> sry ; back with my 3D problem
[08:58] <OuZo> hi, how can i tell if my mother board does hardware RAID? thanks
[08:58] <ardchoille> tonyyarusso: I wish. I had someone walk me through it and I'm still learning.
[08:58] <eck> ardchoille: no xterm?
[08:59] <ardchoille> eck: in tty1?
[08:59] <mindstate> man can someone tell me if there's a quicktime plugin for firefox?
[08:59] <eck> ardchoille: i'm wondering why you're running your console apps in a tty
[08:59] <ardchoille> eck: Sometimes I don't use X at all.
[08:59] <Crazytom> i'm having a problem with my wifi and need direction I can't get it connected but when i scan it see's the ap.  any ideas?
[09:00] <ardchoille> eck: Also good for servers that don't have X installed.
[09:00] <Kazz> OuZo: You can look up the model online, or you can check your BIOS...
[09:00] <eck> ardchoille: i know, but i presume you work at a desktop
[09:00] <Nalleman> Anyone eager to solve printer problems, contact me. ;)
[09:00] <eck> 80x25 resolution in a VT = not so hot
[09:00] <ardchoille> eck: Yeah, but I dislike icons and eye candy
[09:00] <mindstate> lol its like im talking to 150 brick walls
[09:01] <OuZo> Kazz: thanks, i thought there was sum way to check using dmesg
[09:01] <newman> http://www.channelchooser.com/
[09:01] <ardchoille> mindstate: If no one knows, what should 1072 people say?
[09:01] <Kazz> OuZo: I'm in the middle of switching from "hardware RAID" on my motherboard to just straight software RAID though...the "hardware RAID" on most motherboards is just their own type of software RAID.
[09:01] <Kazz> OuZo: There may be...
[09:01] <Kazz> OuZo: Do you want to use RAID?
[09:01] <mindstate> ardchoille, maybe i dunno
[09:01] <eck> and gross console fonts, and slow scrolling!
[09:01] <Vaalth> ardchoille : i was unable to run links, lynx, or elinks :(
[09:02] <felipeee> eck: you mean configurate the /etc/network/interfaces  to   auto eth0 ; iface eth0 inet dhcp  ?
[09:02] <OuZo> Kazz: yes, i am looking on wikipedia, i want things to be faster, do you think software raid is better?
[09:02] <Kazz> Vaalth: You probably need to install one first. ;)
[09:02] <ardchoille> eck: My resolution in tty1 is 1024x768
[09:02] <Vaalth> i do :P
[09:02] <TheVault> Woo hoo, linux is all over Digg.com front page :)
[09:02] <Vaalth> but i dont know how
[09:02] <ardchoille> Vaalth: Did you install any of those first?
[09:02] <Vaalth> nope
[09:02] <DeL3e8> wow
[09:02] <Kazz> OuZo: I stopped trusting the RAID on my nforce4 based motherboard...I upgraded the windows drivers, and it was suddenly degraded for no apparent reason...
[09:02] <DeL3e8> theres alot of people here
[09:02] <TheVault> Hows everyone doing this fine afternoon?
[09:02] <Kazz> OuZo: Plus it was never that fast. ;)
[09:02] <mindstate> Vaalth, sudo apt-get install elinks
[09:03] <DeL3e8> this is my first ubuntu install
[09:03] <Vaalth> thanks
[09:03] <Kazz> OuZo: I haven't used regular software RAID yet, but from what I've read it sounds like a better option.
[09:03] <thor> I want to remove firefox and thunderbird, and replace them with the real articles. However, if I try to remove them in Synaptic it tells me I have to remove the whole desktop. How do I remove these packages, and ONLY these packages?
[09:03] <eck> if you're using a framebuffer you might as well use a terminal, you'll get much better fonts and faster display (just my opinion)
[09:03] <Kazz> OuZo: More portable too...with the one on your motherboard, if you ever changed motherboards you'd have to completely redo it.
[09:03] <TheVault> DeL3e8: Yeah, I am just like you. I installed Ubuntu for the first time earlier last week
[09:03] <eck> felipeee: is it not already set to dhcp?
[09:04] <Nalleman> Anyone having any tips on how I can get my printer running again? It have suddenly stopped working, thou worked perfectly before. HP1018.
[09:04] <AmaroqWolf> When I try to run gedit from a terminal, I get the following: cannot open display: (null)
[09:04] <TheVault> DeL3e8: I already know so much after spending so little time with the install
[09:04] <DeL3e8> well ive played with every other distro under the sun
[09:04] <yettenet> Where can I edit my locales?
[09:04] <felipeee> eck: im having a lot of problems, nothing works...i have just checked my cables...they are ok...i tried rp-pppoe, pppoeconf, static ip, nothing works
[09:04] <OuZo> Kazz: ok well, i guess software RAID uses CPU, but i want 2 use this computer as a web server as well & run beryl, its a AMD 64 3000+
[09:04] <redblue`> I'll think about it
[09:04] <eck> felipeee: you only need to modify /etc/network/interfaces for a persistent configuration
[09:05] <JasonDM> same error ;[
[09:05] <TheVault> DeL3e8: Thats more than me. Iv only used Ubuntu & Kubuntu but used Ubunut the most :)
[09:05] <OuZo> Kazz: so i was thinking hardware RAID would not bother the cpu
[09:05] <JasonDM> "X session failed blah blah: no screens detected/setup/blah"
[09:05] <TheVault> *Ubuntu the most
[09:05] <Kazz> OuZo: The motherboard RAID controllers are generally fake too, they use software drivers too.
[09:05] <DeL3e8> just got off gentoo whew what a pain
[09:05] <ardchoille> DeL3e8: lol
[09:05] <DeL3e8> love prebuilt bins now
[09:05] <felipeee> eck: when i run /etc/init.d/networking restart it only find something in 255.255.255.255 and then say thats no dhcpoffers
[09:05] <TheVault> Whatas gentoo?
[09:05] <Kazz> Software RAID doesn't put too much load on the CPUs though, from what I've read.
[09:05] <DeL3e8> compiles everything ffrom source
[09:05] <Kazz> Gentoo is another Linux distribution.
[09:05] <TheVault> Oh
[09:06] <eck> felipeee: then whatever you are connecting to doesn't do dhcp (or doesn't do it properly)
[09:06] <eck> software raid is pretty good
[09:06] <DeL3e8> hardcore linux masochist's OS
[09:06] <TheVault> Whats Fedora desktop environment run on?
[09:06] <ardchoille> DeL3e8: I'm waaay too lazy for gentoo
[09:06] <DeL3e8> heh
[09:06] <eck> it works better than most low end raid cards
[09:06] <OuZo> Kazz: haha, ok looks like ill have to go with software RAID, i think i know what you are talking about though, hardware RAID is usually another peripheral you have to add on
[09:06] <Kazz> OuZo: Right.  Even the cheap ones of those are usually fake too though. ;)
[09:06] <tj239> Could someone tell me about the xchat plugin called 'xchat remote access' ?  like, why is it there and how can I remove it.
[09:07] <DeL3e8> just installed beryl also
[09:07] <eck> felipeee: sometimes modems will only do a dhcp offer once, and resetting them will let you get a new lease3
[09:07] <felipeee> eck: when i plug the router cable to my another pc(running winxp) i can enter in modem conf page...it says that the dhcp server is running
[09:07] <JasonDM> So....how does one go about fixing the "no screens detected" or whatever error?
[09:07] <TheVault> beryl, I'm going to fiddle with that here in a bit
[09:07] <DeL3e8> it was so easy for me to install
[09:07] <Kazz> eck: Have you ever mounted ntfs software RAID partitions in Linux?
[09:07] <TheVault> Just did a upgrade from 6.06 dapper to 6.10 edgy last night, let it do its thing over night and now I'm fixing some minor problems
[09:08] <DeL3e8> though your millage may vary its complicated beta software
[09:08] <eck> felipeee: well, if you broadcast a dhcp offer to 255.255.255.255 you are supposed to get a response from the router/modem, that is how dhcp works. if you don't get an offer than the router/modem isn't doing dhcp properly
[09:08] <dyrne> felipeee: theres always 'sudo ifconfig eth0 up; sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.4' or whatever ip
[09:08] <goomie> How do I install an english dictionary to get my spellcheck to work?
[09:08] <felipeee> eck: i never turn off the modem, but when i plug it to winxp it connects in seconds
[09:08] <DeL3e8> ive actually installed it from scratch before so... i knew what to expect
[09:08] <eck> Kazz: fortunately the answer is no :-)
[09:08] <Kazz> eck: Yeah...lucky you. ;)
[09:09] <DeL3e8> wowo i cant believe there's so manny people here
[09:09] <Kazz> goomie: I don't know...what program are you trying to get it to work in?
[09:09] <TheVault> Whats weird is that, last night I did the upgrade, and now its showing a update and its installing the Distribution Upgrade again, I'm like WTF
[09:09] <eck> felipeee: my understanding is that windows works better with broken modems/routers with this stuff, if dhclient doesn't work on linux then you have to figure out how to get static dhcp working
[09:09] <TheVault> Maybe just some minor thing or something
[09:09] <Nalleman> HP1018 printer problem, please help!
[09:09] <eck> or else get a router
[09:10] <DeL3e8> Wrt54GL router
[09:10] <DeL3e8> openwrt!
[09:10] <DeL3e8> i got 2
[09:11] <felipeee> eck: ok, i figured out that the router ip is 10.1.1.1 is the same ip that i enter to access the configuration. and i configures eth0 to be static too...adding the terms address, netmask, network, gateway 10.1.1.1
[09:11] <kernel_geek> My firefox crashes when I try to download a file
[09:11] <Thug-N-Me> how do i remove a directory with all his contend ?
[09:11] <Thug-N-Me> sudo rf ?
[09:11] <felipeee> eck: and eth0 is always RUNNING, i forgot to say this
[09:11] <kernel_geek> or when I open donload manager
[09:11] <LjL> Thug-N-Me: rf is not a command. do "man rm"
[09:11] <eck> felipeee: you can set all the static ip information with ifconfig and dns settings with route
[09:11] <DeL3e8> yeah but be carefull with sudo u could mess up easilly and wipe the system
[09:11] <newman> use kaffeine plugin  to see it http://www.channelchooser.com/
[09:12] <Kazz> goomie: You can try looking in the synaptic package manager to see if there's a specific plugin for the program you want to use spell check in, otherwise I dunno'...maybe aspell or somethin' like that?  I seem to remember that being the name of a dictionary...
[09:12] <eck> for persistent static dns you would have to edit /etc/resolv.conf
[09:12] <felipeee> eck: this file is blank
[09:12] <Kazz> goomie: Or the documentation for the program might tell you what you need...
[09:12] <Nalleman> Help me to find whats wrong with my printer, it is not responding to print order, but is detected by the computer. Anyone??
[09:12] <eck> felipeee: that's because you didn't get a dhcp offer, so you don't have any dns servers configured
[09:12] <felipeee> after configuring the resolv.conf i need to add an route?
[09:13] <tj239> Thug-N-Me .... inside the folder do .......... sudo shred -fuxz *.*    and sudo rm /folder/ on the folder
[09:13] <Thug-N-Me> LjL looks like -R but doesnt work
[09:13] <eck> felipeee: normally you don't have to
[09:13] <LjL> Thug-N-Me: "doesn't work"?
[09:13] <eck> felipeee: you can check the dns settings with route -n
[09:13] <LjL> tj239: *.* ?
[09:14] <Thug-N-Me> LjL sudo -R /media/hdf1/  i want to remove " hdf1 "
[09:14] <tj239> LjL, that doesn't clean the folder?
[09:14] <LjL> Thug-N-Me: "-R" is not a command either. "rm" is the command.
[09:14] <ClinicalMistake> Wow, quite a lot of people in here.  I take it people mostly use this chat for tech support?
[09:14] <felipeee> eck: ok, but i should be able to connect ip adresses right?
[09:14] <JasonDM> second time i've installed it, it causes the x session to fail
[09:14] <Thug-N-Me> LjL  sudo rm -R /media/hdf1/  should do the job then
[09:14] <felipeee> eck: all networks that i ping it says that is an unreachble network
[09:14] <slippyr4> ClinicalMistake, yep
[09:14] <linxeh> is there a way I can bind a keystroke/combo in KDE and Gnome to minimise all windows ?
[09:14] <ardchoille> Lunchtime :)
[09:14] <kernel_geek> Firefox closes when I open donload manager
[09:15] <JasonDM> first time had same results
[09:15] <tj239> LjL, Tug wnated to remove the contents and I thought *.* would do it.
[09:15] <eck> felipeee: if you do static ip you should be able to ping an IP address explicitly, after you get dns up then you can ping a hostname (like google.com)
[09:15] <LjL> tj239: well, 1) i don't think it would remove subdirectories, but also 2) what is that *.*? will that not only work for files with an extension?
[09:15] <tj239> Thug too
[09:15] <chavo> linxeh, it should be Ctrl-Alt-D by default
[09:15] <Selaiah> Morning ;)
[09:15] <_Krull_> kernal_geek, what version of ubuntu and type you have?
[09:15] <felipeee> eck: yes, yes...i tried this with an ip adress explicitly
[09:15] <ClinicalMistake> slippyr4 : Thanks :D
[09:15] <LjL> tj239, this is not Windows... "*.*" will only match files with a period in their names, won't it?
[09:16] <slippyr4> LjL, yes it will
[09:16] <linxeh> chavo: is there a way to configure that ? eg so I can use the meta key + d or something ? or one of the other useless buttons on the sun keyboard? (I know what keycodes to use etc)
[09:16] <eck> felipeee: err, check that your broadcast address and subnet mask are set correctly
[09:16] <linxeh> chavo: thanks for the pointer though!
[09:16] <Kazz> Thug-N-Me: You do want to permanently delete every file in there, right?  Not just unmount it?
[09:16] <felipeee> eck: how can i know if the netmask is right?
[09:16] <Selaiah> I have 2 Soundcards. One being an X-FI tha tis unsupported as we all know and one being an Onboard sound controller that works out of the box when the X-FI isnt installed. *However Now my sound does not work, when the X-Fi is inserted* I think i may have to stop the non working X-fi module from being loaded or something. Does anyone have an idea?
[09:16] <eck> felipeee: if should probably be 255.255.255.0
[09:16] <JasonDM> why is it so hard to install nvidia drivers?
[09:17] <tj239> ljl, why do I get the third degree?  I like so many here offer hints
[09:17] <eck> JasonDM: because they are proprietary
[09:17] <slippyr4> jasondm: it really isn't. whats wrong?
[09:17] <LjL> tj239: duh - because you've given a wrong answer
[09:17] <tj239> Thug-N-Me .... inside the folder do .......... sudo shred -fuxz *   and sudo rm /folder/ on the folder
[09:17] <crdlb> JasonDM, because they are proprietary
[09:17] <felipeee> eck: i will try, then i came back here...will you be here?
[09:17] <chavo> linxeh, you can change it in KDE, not sure about Gnome tho
[09:17] <ClinicalMistake> I heard that ATI had open sourced it's drivers.  IS that rumor or fact?
[09:17] <eck> felipeee: i'm not sure, i'm going to be leaving for work soon
[09:18] <finalbeta> ClinicalMistake: fasle
[09:18] <JasonDM> everytime i've installed the drivers, I can't start the x session because of something to do with no screens being detected
[09:18] <eck> ClinicalMistake: they haven't yet
[09:18] <LjL> tj239: that will still bail on subdirectories anyway.
[09:18] <finalbeta> false
[09:18] <felipeee> eck: ok, then we talk later
[09:18] <ClinicalMistake> I wasn't thinking so, but one can hope :] 
[09:18] <felipeee> eck: thank you very much
[09:18] <Kazz> Thug-N-Me: You can also use rm -rf directory
[09:18] <crdlb> ClinicalMistake, there are open source ati drivers, but they are not *ati's* drivers
[09:18] <linxeh> chavo: any pointers as to where ? :
[09:18] <Thug-N-Me> Kazz yeah
[09:18] <Kazz> Thug-N-Me: What exactly are you trying to do though?
[09:18] <Kazz> Just delete everything on the drive?
[09:18] <Thug-N-Me> Kazz thats what i was looking for -rf
[09:18] <eck> tj239: fyi, shred doesn't really work on a journalled filesystem
[09:19] <crdlb> JasonDM, the /var/log/Xorg.0.log may be more descriptive
[09:19] <felipeee> eck: if i configure an static ip i dont need to worry about dhcp right?
[09:19] <slippyr4> Thug-N-Me, recursion is capital R. try rm -Rf
[09:19] <Thug-N-Me> Kazz i try to get rid of all the files and directory from /hdf1
[09:19] <eck> felipeee: that is correct
[09:19] <slippyr4> felipeee, correct
[09:19] <LjL> slippyr4: not really, they're synonyms
[09:19] <JasonDM> crdlb, actually, it wasn't
[09:19] <slippyr4> Ljl: in gnu tools they are, not in all unices
[09:19] <felipeee> thank you everybody
[09:19] <Sima_Yi> hi, I have a question about vi
[09:19] <LjL> slippyr4: name of this channel is #ubuntu...
[09:19] <felipeee> i will be back saying the results
[09:19] <felipeee> thanks
[09:20] <Thug-N-Me> thanks all
[09:20] <Kazz> Thug-N-Me: You could also just reformat it, since it's a partition, right? ;)
[09:20] <slippyr4> Ljl: correct, i just think it's bad practise
[09:20] <Sima_Yi> on my brothers fedora core 6 box, vi has different colors like $cmd would be pink, "HELLO" would be red etc
[09:20] <OuZo> when will festy release? thanks
[09:20] <JasonDM> it said that the "fonts" directory wasn't there, then a bunch of stuff related to fonts, then down at the bottom it said "x failed to start no screens found"
[09:20] <Sima_Yi> on my kubuntu box, everything is white nomatter what
[09:20] <JasonDM> or something to that effect
[09:20] <kernel_geek> Firefox closes because of bus error when i open dowloads manager
[09:20] <eck> Sima_Yi: you need to enable syntax highlighting
[09:20] <tj239> like Ljl siad,,,,,,,  #ubuntu...   with three dots and not any more
[09:20] <AmaroqWolf> When I try to run gedit from a terminal, I get the following: cannot open display: (null). What can I set the display to to make it work?
[09:20] <slippyr4> OuZo, april
[09:21] <eck> Sima_Yi: try ":help syntax" in vim
[09:21] <kernel_geek> Firefox closes because of bus error when i open dowloads manager
[09:21] <ClinicalMistake> Alrighty, well thanks for the info yall!
[09:21] <kernel_geek> Firefox closes because of bus error when i open dowloads manager
[09:21] <Sima_Yi> ok, thanks eck ill try that
[09:21] <OuZo> slippyr4: thanks
[09:21] <kernel_geek> Firefox closes because of bus error when i open dowloads manager
[09:21] <slippyr4> stop spamming kernel_geek
[09:21] <kernel_geek> ok

[09:22] <kernel_geek> lol
[09:22] <sampan> just updated the nvidia drivers (via adept-updater) and was wondering is it sufficient to restart X (cntl-shift-backspace) or do i need to do a full reboot to see if they're working right?  anyone know?
[09:22] <Kazz> kernel_geek: All I can suggest right now is upgrading Firefox if you don't have the latest version...or trying to save to a different location maybe...
[09:22] <Kazz> Could be trying to write to a directory you don't have write permission in?
[09:22] <JasonDM> sampan, glad you could even install them before without restarting into an error
[09:23] <sampan> jasondm  really?  lots of problems with them?
[09:23] <JasonDM> no, I mean i'm glad that someone is able to actually use the drivers
[09:23] <kernel_geek> Well i would tell you the version number but it crashes when i click about :D
[09:23] <Kazz> samiam: You should be able to just restart X, after you've updated X's config file...
[09:23] <Hooked-on-GL> join ##c++
[09:23] <sampan> jasondm  ahhhh, gotcha -- they've worked fine for me
[09:23] <Hooked-on-GL> heh :)
[09:23] <Kazz> sampan I mean...
[09:23] <tj239> LjL, you didn't offer a wrong answer there, I was being nasty
[09:23] <happyface0> is there a way to set my keyboard layout through terminal? when I installed ubuntu it messed it up somehow
[09:24] <JasonDM> I always get an error when I restart X
[09:24] <JasonDM> or reboot
[09:24] <slippyr4> kernel_geek, try running firefox-bin from a console, do you stil get an issue?
[09:24] <JasonDM> and so far the only answer i've been given is to reinstall ubuntu
[09:24] <kernel_geek> Yeah i am running from console
[09:24] <Kazz> JasonDM: When did you start getting the error?
[09:25] <sampan> kazz  okay, the xorg.conf was updated automatically the first time i installed them -- this was just an update -- restarting X went fine (saw the nvidia logo and all)
[09:25] <Kazz> JasonDM: Does X start up at all?
[09:25] <JasonDM> no
[09:25] <sampan> jasondm  ouch -- that hurts :/
[09:25] <Sima_Yi> when i typed the command in, it said this: (sorry about the spam in advance)

[09:29] <Kronuz> how can I copy files while keeping the current user and the exact same permissions?
[09:29] <DeL3e8> coolness just gotta uncomment them in sources.list
[09:30] <Kronuz> (keeping the current file's owner user and group)
[09:30] <hjmills> tonyyarusso, im just trying to find out roughly how much people are charging for what kind of thing etc
[09:30] <darkcommon> Kronuz, copying the file with the user who created it :P
[09:30] <K3nto> Kronuz: sudo cp yourfile yournewdestination
[09:30] <LjL> Kronuz: won't cp -a keep permissions?
[09:30] <Kronuz> LjL, dunno, will it?
[09:30] <darkcommon> any have a PlanetCase chassis??

[09:30] <Kronuz> the thing is I want to copy my whole system to another drive
[09:31] <darkcommon> I hate its (but i have 3) I cutted in 3 fingers quiting the PCI slots
[09:31] <Kronuz> LjL, I'm currently creating the partitions

[09:31] <goomie> Kazz: evolution
[09:31] <LjL> Kronuz: i did that in the past with cp -a i believe. you'll also need to use -x to avoid trying to copy /proc and stuff like that
[09:31] <darkcommon> doom yes! downloading it
[09:31] <finalbeta> What's the vector graphics program one would recommend for nix? Replacing Adobe Illustrator.
[09:31] <Kronuz> K3nto, that's what I wanted to avoid and instead just make a copy
[09:31] <doom> darkcommon can u help me?
[09:31] <LjL> finalbeta: dunno, inkscape?
[09:32] <darkcommon> guess!
[09:32] <K3nto> Kronuz: oh. well what file system is the drive you want to copy it to?
[09:32] <Kronuz> K3nto, it's a RAID0 drive
[09:32] <Kronuz> I didn't install it there from the start 'cause dmraid wasn't working
[09:32] <ASPCartman>      !

[09:34] <doomnx> dyrne what dependencies am i gonna need to install the nvidia drivers?
[09:34] <Kronuz> K3nto, the destiny? I'll create partitions of the same kind
[09:34] <Sima_Yi> I found an answer here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/turn-on-or-off-color-syntax-highlighting-in-vi-or-vim/

[09:34] <happyface0> why is my us keyboard messed up? it seems its setup correctly but certain keys work oddly
[09:35] <K3nto> Kronuz; ok so your setup is a one pc with multiple hard drives? and you want ubuntu on some but not all of them?
[09:35] <Cdesza1> nicko: 50GB will be fine, depending on how many personal files you have, like music, images, documents
[09:35] <dyrne> doomnx: when you  search for nvidia-glx and go there it will tell you.  id make sure those are already installed by dpkg -l | grep package   or something if not download it too.
[09:35] <ASPCartman> How to use pptp in Mint2.2 (Based on ubuntu) Without pptp (VPN) i have no internet connection in linux
[09:35] <nicko> Cdesza1: but what should i partition 50gb, / or /home?
[09:36] <jake_> guys how do i change my? bootscreen
[09:36] <dyrne> doomnx: i cant remember what the default install downloads when you apt-get it though sorry
[09:36] <Kronuz> K3nto, nope, actuall, I have a computer with a couple RAID0 arrays (one of them is where I want to put Ubuntu) right now, Ubuntu is in a spare 80GB PATA drive I had, but I want to put it in my primary RAID0 (along my Windows Vista)
[09:36] <dyrne> jake_: put an image there or just change an entry
[09:36] <jake_> #kubuntu
[09:36] <dyrne> ?
[09:36] <Kronuz> K3nto, I see there are three partitions in my PATA drive
[09:36] <[xDCDx] > hello, is there a way of, after netbooting into an nfsroot offered by a server, doing a king of pivotroot to the root in the local filesystem?
[09:37] <Doddman> hello, is there a way of removing desklets in gdesklets besides right-clicking them and clicking "remove desklets"?
[09:37] <K3nto> Kronuz: so you cant boot to the cd and install it from there, onto your RAID drive
[09:37] <Kronuz> Linux, Extened and Linux swap / Solaris

[09:37] <doomnx> is that correct?
[09:37] <dyrne> nicko: i usually have / at 6-10gigs and most everything else for home or a /mnt/shared partition
[09:37] <Cdesza1> nicko: Well, /, without /home, on my instalation, is 3.4GB
[09:38] <jake_> dyrne: how?
[09:38] <ASPCartman> does ubuntu have /etc/sysconfig dir? I can't find it
[09:38] <dyrne> jake_: what do you want to do?
[09:38] <Kronuz> K3nto, currently I could do it, now that I know how to make dmraid work, but I  would waste too much time reconfiguring everything
[09:38] <Kronuz> (I'v downloaded about 500MB already of updated packages)
[09:38] <Kronuz> and so I want to avoid having to do everything again
[09:38] <owner> im new to ubuntu does anyone recommend any software i should install
[09:39] <doomnx> "Other Packages Related to nvidia-glx" are these the dependencies?

[09:39] <nicko> So, what is the right size for / , and /home is the storage right (so 50gb to /home)?
[09:39] <dyrne> owner: for mp3 and such
[09:39] <Cdesza1> What is the terminal command to have the system log constantly updated in the terminal window?
[09:39] <jake_> dyrne: i want to change the bootscreen the one that appears bfore you log in.
[09:39] <LjL> owner: yes, you should install that wonderful circuit simulation package. oh, you don't need circuit simulators?
[09:39] <Newton__> bilbo
[09:39] <LjL> owner: you should install what you need to use, obviously.
[09:39] <K3nto> Kronuz: i see. does vista detect and give you access to the other two drives(PATA and the other RAID)
[09:39] <dyrne> owner: also k3b is a good burning app
[09:39] <erUSUL> Cdesza1: tail -f ??
[09:39] <Cdesza1> thanks
[09:40] <Kronuz> K3nto, yep, althought the PATA is ext3 so I can't access it
[09:41] <Kronuz> K3nto, I just shrinked the partition in my first RAID
[09:41] <nicko> So, what is the right size for / , and /home is the storage right (so 50gb to /home)?
[09:41] <Kronuz> K3nto, deleted and recreated it after doing ntfsresize
[09:41] <doomnx> are the dependencies the red dot files?
[09:42] <EADG> owner: http://linuxondesktop.blogspot.com/2007/02/13-things-to-do-immediately-after.html
[09:42] <Kazz> nicko: / will contain your programs and things like that, /home will usually contain all of your files (/home/nicko or whatever is where the equivalent of "My Documents" from windows and all those kinds of things will be).
[09:42] <ASPCartman> how to use PPTP in ubuntu?
[09:42] <Kronuz> now, I think I'll have to reboot :(
[09:42] <K3nto> Kronuz: PM
[09:42] <Kronuz> it says it couldn't re-read the partition table
[09:42] <tehchieftain> hi, when i browse the web with firefox, my fonts are reaaaalllly weird, anyway i can change em?
[09:42] <Kazz> You don't have to have a different partition for /home if you don't want to though.
[09:42] <q_> i can set a vnc session but without sound, any ideas?
[09:43] <Kazz> tehchieftain: I think there are options for that in Firefox's preferences.
[09:43] <jessd> ASPCartman: This got me going - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91249
[09:43] <nicko> Kazz: i want to incase want to reinstall/upgrade..but what is the average size for both???
[09:43] <Kronuz> K3nto, Partition Magic or private message? :P
[09:43] <doomnx> i don't think i will ever install the drivers offline :(
[09:44] <EADG> tehchieftain: edit > prefrances > fonts & colors
[09:44] <Kronuz> do I really have to reboot to have the partition table re-read?
[09:44] <Kronuz> (it's not my primary drive)

[09:44] <K3nto> Kronuz: private msg
[09:44] <dyrne> jake_: ah thats in /usr/share/ somewhere im not in ubuntu but.. do "locate .png| grep ubuntu| grep /usr/share" or something you can then replace whatever is there just by sudo mv newimage.png /usr/share/wherever/ubuntu.png.  there's probably an easier way..
[09:44] <jake_> help guys, i install xubuntu to my system first then i install the ubuntu-desktop, now im running on gnome and i want to change the xubuntu bootscreen to ubuntu
[09:45] <Kazz> nicko: That really depends on how much space you think you need for programs.  If you think you want to try to install some big games or somethin' like that, you may need a lot more space, otherwise you probably only need a few gigs for programs.
[09:45] <Bsims> Kronuz: Its been my experence that yes ya do
[09:45] <Kazz> nicko: You might also need more for / if you run server software and have a lot of logs.
[09:45] <Kronuz> Bsims :(
[09:46] <billy> What is keeping me from seeing my bootup sequence?  My monitor reads an error during bootup.
[09:46] <Bsims> Kronuz: I think it writes the changes on powercycle
[09:46] <jessd> nicko: I have a 10G drive that I use as /, and an 80G drive I use for /home.  I have a lot of programs, primary role is desktop machine, and I've never had a problem.
[09:46] <Kazz> billy: It's hard to know if you don't know what the error is. ;)
[09:46] <Kazz> billy: Or is it a message from your monitor saying that it can't display anything?
[09:47] <billy> Kazz, thanks for reply.  The screen will read "Input out of Area"
[09:47] <Simanauskas> Hello. I've just started ubuntu from a cd. I have gone with a 5th step with the installation,  and the program is asking me to check a "root directory" and a swap. with Swap is all okey, but when i write "/" it still asks me for a root directory. What shall I do?
[09:47] <Simanauskas> By the way, I can't partition my drives somehow. It goes with an error.
[09:47] <Simanauskas> Thank You
[09:47] <Kazz> billy: Hmmm...I'm not sure, but I think that has to do with your monitor not being able to handle what the video card is sending it...you might need to edit your X config.
[09:48] <Joe_CoT> .
[09:48] <Bsims> Kazz: pretty hard to do if it doesn't display anything...
[09:48] <q_> cretinilor
[09:48] <billy> Kazz, that would be dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver
[09:48] <billy> ?
[09:48] <nicko> ok, thanks so / is for program resources and home for settings and my files right?
[09:48] <Kazz> Bsims: There are other ways to get at it. :)
[09:48] <q_> idiotilor
[09:48] <Bsims> billy: Most likely yes, but
[09:48] <Kazz> Bsims: He should still be able to get to a console.
[09:48] <q_> moron
[09:48] <Bsims> Kazz: Indeed, I was being mildly sarcastic
[09:48] <shyrogue> :S
[09:48] <Kazz> Ctrl-Alt-F1 or somethin' hopefully would work.
[09:48] <jessd> nicko: Something like that; you have /var, /etc, /usr, etc etc
[09:49] <q_> labagiilor
[09:49] <shyrogue> varm beni anlyan?
[09:49] <Kazz> Bsims: A'right. :)
[09:49] <q_> thanks for nothing
[09:49] <nicko> is /home also for program settings?
[09:49] <jessd> nicko: But home is where your stuff, the stuff specific to your acocunt on the machine, lives
[09:49] <Kazz> nicko: Yes.

[09:50] <ubotu> BerMars: You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair on new users. The same goes for using noisy away messages (see !Away for more details): use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently

[09:52] <Simanauskas> Hello. I've just started ubuntu from a cd. I have gone with a 5th step with the installation, and the program is asking me to check a "root directory" and a swap. with Swap is all okey, but when i write "/" it still asks me for a root directory. What shall I do? By the way, I can't partition my drives somehow. It goes with an error. Thank You.

[10:01] <Crazytom> how do i force my wireless card to associate with my access point
[10:01] <nicko> Kazz:does the / /home and swap require certaiin positioning?
[10:02] <kylequamme> does anyone in here use kopete?
[10:02] <Kazz> nick: Nope, put 'em wherever you want.  I usually put swap first though, because the first partitions are the fastest.
[10:02] <Ashex> BlueGaust, check to see if it's a winmodem or an actual hardware modem. WinModems are basically cheap modems that use software emulation to function as a modem
[10:02] <Kazz> nicko: Well, first of the Linux partitions anyway...
[10:02] <Klanticus_> Crazytom, iwconfig wlan0 essid ID channel n

[10:03] <Kronuz> what filesystem is the Linux Swap?
[10:03] <BlueGaust> Ashex i have just verified
[10:03] <BlueGaust> yes it is winmodem :S
[10:03] <LjL> Kronuz: no filesystem
[10:03] <Kazz> BlueGaust: If it is a winmodem there might be support for it, but you might have to check in the non-free software repositories.
[10:03] <sYn_0n3> linux swap is swap
[10:03] <Kronuz> do I have to make a filesystem there?
[10:03] <Kronuz> oh
[10:03] <Kazz> kronuz: 82
[10:03] <sYn_0n3> nothing else
[10:03] <UT_Guest_101> Question, Ive installed ubuntu, but Im in windows now. I cant start ubuntu because its the wrong screen resolution. How do I change it fro within windows? I guess there's some file I should play around with?

[10:03] <Kronuz> LjL, thanks
[10:03] <Iamiko> Hi, i'm really new to Ubuntu and... i'm stuck! Ubuntu wont take the resolution higher than 800x600 and i can't figure out how to get these wrecthed nvidia drivers installed
[10:03] <threeonefour_> owner, scite
[10:04] <Kronuz> Kazz, yep, that's the type, but I was wondering about a real filesystem
[10:04] <Ashex> BlueGaust, ah, it's a external dsl modem
[10:04] <LjL> Kronuz: you need (or should, at least) mark the partition as Linux Swap type, but there's no filesystem per se
[10:04] <Kastang> Is it possible to install vmware on Ubuntu and be able to play World of Warcraft with it? I have about three apps that I need to work within Ubuntu for me to make the switch fully to ubuntu. I have tried Wine for World of Warcraft but did not get the desired performance.
[10:04] <Kronuz> ok, thanks :)
[10:04] <sYn_0n3> u have to edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file for supported resolutions
[10:04] <|^Marky^|> can i talk to a expert , never saw ununtu linux , and i have enough of windows ,
[10:04] <BlueGaust> Ashex yes
[10:04] <dyrne> UT_Guest_101: its a little complicated as xp cant read/write the ubuntu file system without installing a driver
[10:04] <Kazz> Kastang: VMWare would give you much worse performance.

[10:05] <sethrd> Hello everyone.
[10:05] <felipeee> i configured mt eth0 to be static and gave to it all information needed, the connection is RUNNING but i cant access any host
[10:05] <Klanticus_> Crazytom, try iwconfig wlan0 commit
[10:05] <Juhaz> BlueGaust, there's a driver for it, and it's included in ubuntu. and no, I don't have a clue about how hard or easy it is to set up, google for eagle-usb
[10:05] <Kastang> Kazz - Oh, that was what I was afraid of. Thankyou for telling me that before I wasted my time attempting it.
[10:05] <hid3> Evening everyone. I've booted my ubuntu appending `all-generic-ide root=/dev/hdi1` (unsupported IDE chipset). Everything boots fine, however, when I try cfdisk /dev/hdi, it claims such device does not exist. Neither exist hda-hdz... How can I cfdisk my drive or how to solve this problem?
[10:05] <Klanticus_> Crazytom, btw, is your wireless name wlan0?
[10:05] <Kronuz> okay, I'm copying the partition now... it should take a while I guess
[10:05] <bigjohnto> when i type rsh HOST -n FILE --> i get the following error permission denied, i have full access to the file )nd even the file does not exist it still gives the same error, any ideas why? (rsh host works fine
[10:05] <Kazz> Kastang: You can try to work on the wine performance, and you can keep trying it in the future as they make it better if you can't get it to work well enough now, but otherwise you might have to keep windows around for that. :(
[10:05] <Crazytom> Klanticus_, does it have to be a wlan or can it be eth2
[10:06] <Kazz> Or OSX if you can run it...I think there's a wow client for that...
[10:06] <Klanticus_> Crazytom, it may be anything
[10:06] <Crazytom> no it's eth1 and eth2
[10:06] <sethrd> This might sound like a stupid question, but whatever. I there a way to "downgrade" from fiesty to edgy? No edgy media I've tried till install, but Fiesty did with no problem.

[10:07] <evilMan> pw, why not? it's not english right?
[10:07] <dyrne> UT_Guest_101: after you do the reconfigure either reboot or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[10:07] <zAo^> sethrd, tip: upgrade until you system is pretty stable and upgrade again when the final is released
[10:07] <Kazz> geeksauce: It's been a while since I've done much with apache configs, but I'll answer if I can (or someone else will if they can), so just ask. ;)
[10:08] <Crazytom> Klanticus_, the essid is Rubix and the channel is 11 so i did iwconfig eth1 essid Rubix channel 11
[10:08] <Kronuz> LjL, I'm using 'sudo cp -ax src/* dst' (src is the main Ubuntu partition and dst is where I mounted the destiny partition)

[10:09] <sethrd> zAo^:  No, I don't need Beryl. I would like it is my screen redraw was faster, and my resolution was something other then 800x600.
[10:09] <Crazytom> it's trying but it's not getting a response
[10:09] <sYn_0n3> could it be a permission issue..or do i have to add the users to the vsftpd.ftpusers file
[10:09] <BlueGaust> Juhaz ok i will buy one :P
[10:09] <BlueGaust> Thanks
[10:09] <Kronuz> LjL, the configuration and files should not change that much, right, perhaps just the location of the drive; instead of my PATA /dev/hdc, it should by my RAID /dev/mapper/nvidia_ifififif
[10:09] <BlueGaust> Bye Bye
[10:09] <LjL> Kronuz: well, edit menu.lst on the new partition to reflect the changes, and do  sudo grub-install --root-directory=dst /dev/whatever 
[10:09] <zAo^> sethrd, tried nv I guess?
[10:09] <Iamiko> 800x600 on a 19" screen is... painful
[10:09] <Kastang> Kazz Oh, It seems like a lot of software for Linux is working on impoving 3d accel. I think I might give Wine a try again, Looking it up online I found several "tweaks" that I never did before that may help

[10:10] <sethrd> zAo^:  I'm running on nv right now, but it won't allow me to go higher then 800x600, and my window redraw is horrible.
[10:10] <Kronuz> LjL, the root-directory is just so that it know where to find the configurations right now, right?
[10:10] <dyrne> UT_Guest_101: you have several getty logins at f1 through f6

[10:11] <LjL> Kronuz: hm, nope, there's more than that. it actually installs [part of]  itself there (though it should already be installed since you copied it, but anyway it won't hurt for sure)
[10:11] <Kronuz> ('cause it should load *before* using /dev/mapper/nvidia_ifififi

[10:13] <dyrne> doomnx: debian or ubuntu i mean
[10:13] <Crazytom> Klanticus_, yes also iwlist eth1 scan shows the ap
[10:13] <geeksauce> Kazz, there is a file called ports and a changed it to say "Listen 8080" instead of "Listen 80"
[10:13] <LjL> !raid | Kronuz, suppose you've hit this?
[10:13] <tonyyarusso> sYn_0n3: Make sure you've enabled local user login in vsftpd.conf _and_ add to .users, yes

[10:13] <kynes> when I install nvidia 9755 driver, I can make it work
[10:13] <kynes> but...
[10:13] <kynes> ipw3945 starts not working
[10:13] <kynes> serious issues..
[10:13] <Kazz> geeksauce: Did you restart apache?  (Sorry, I don't know how much you know, so I have to ask.) :)
[10:13] <Klanticus_> Crazytom, try moving a bit. I've already seen a laptop that showed the ap, but could not connect to it
[10:13] <reclusivemonkey> can anyone help me out with an autorun shell script running from a USBDRIVE?
[10:13] <doomnx> but all these solutions need to be online
[10:13] <geeksauce> Kazz, yes :)
[10:13] <Klanticus_> Crazytom, until moving to another place
[10:13] <reclusivemonkey> in feisty...
[10:14] <Crazytom> Klanticus_, I'm three feet from it right now....
[10:14] <LjL> !feisty > reclusivemonkey    (reclusivemonkey, see the private message from Ubotu)
[10:14] <sYn_0n3> tonyyarusso---------the option is enabled...but the .users list does not have my user name there..could that be the issue
[10:14] <tonyyarusso> sYn_0n3: ye
[10:14] <tonyyarusso> s
[10:14] <sYn_0n3> i thought local users have access by default
[10:14] <doomnx> i want to just transfer some files from this PC to the ubuntu PC and then install the drivers
[10:14] <doomnx> how can i do it?
[10:14] <kynes> and by the way, this one is in feisty -> with ipw3945, if you don't enable the card, you end up with a "soft lockup on CPU#0" in (I think) dual core systems..
[10:14] <Keneo> hello, I'm trying to boot a pc from the network, but it just doesn't seem to work :(, it's a packard bell with a 3c503 nic
[10:14] <Klanticus_> Crazytom, I'm in a room at about 2 meters from an ap, and there are places  here where I can't access it
[10:14] <Keneo> first I tried simple, setting network as first boot option
[10:14] <kynes> serious boot-up problems on intel core 2 duo..
[10:14] <Keneo> didn't do a thing
[10:15] <Kazz> geeksauce: You might check the main config file too to see if anything in there is telling it to use port 80...otherwise check Apache's site, they should have docs on there that should be easy to find that in...
[10:15] <Crazytom> ok
[10:15] <kynes> where can I talk with the developers?
[10:15] <reclusivemonkey> LjL: yeah I know Feisty is alpha. I asked in #ubuntu-bugs and someone told me to ask in here
[10:15] <Keneo> then tried with some different boot floppy's with boot rom etc, but they keep on probing, but don't find the nic
[10:15] <Kazz> kynes: If we told you we'd have to kill you.
[10:15] <LjL> reclusivemonkey: and with that bot factoid, i'm telling you to ask in #ubuntu+1 ;)
[10:15] <geeksauce> Kazz, i will check.  are they on sourceforge?
[10:15] <doomnx> OFFLINE nvidia driver installation help anyone?
[10:15] <Keneo> funny, cause when I installed xubuntu, the installer couldn't find the nic either
[10:15] <sYn_0n3> lol
[10:15] <evilMan> anyone one ubuntu 64 bit?
[10:15] <LjL> reclusivemonkey: this channel is for stable versions only
[10:15] <Keneo> windows 98 can
[10:15] <Kazz> geeksauce: apache.org isn't it?
[10:16] <reclusivemonkey> ok LjL thanks
[10:16] <ompaul> kyja, what do you need a dev for? there are lots of official ways to get things done
[10:16] <tonyyarusso> geeksauce: You'll need to modify both sites-available/default and whatever the file is with the LISTEN option.
[10:16] <carlosqueso> kynes: the best way is to file a bug
[10:16] <carlosqueso> !bugs | kynes

[10:16] <Klanticus_> Crazytom, have you tried some graphical interface?
[10:16] <Kazz> evilMan: I tried it, but I'm trying the 32 bit version instead for now...
[10:16] <doomnx> damn... i should stick with windows then till i have an internet connection :(
[10:16] <geeksauce> tonyyarusso, could you elaborate?
[10:16] <felipeee> i configured my eth0 to be static and gave to it all information needed, the connection is RUNNING but i cant access any host
[10:17] <Crazytom> Klanticus_, yes i've tried the networking one
[10:17] <zAo^> doomnx, tried nv driver to get X?
[10:17] <JasonDM> hmmm
[10:17] <Klanticus_> Crazytom, looks weird. I have no idea on how to fix this
[10:17] <JasonDM> sound doesn't seem to work
[10:17] <OuZo> anybody know why google earth uses 100% of my CPU? thanks (AMD 64 3000+)
[10:17] <OuZo> 1gig ram
[10:18] <Klanticus_> Crazytom, maybe you should try ndiswrapper
[10:18] <tonyyarusso> geeksauce: The very top part of the following two files define the port:  /etc/apache2/ports.conf, and /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
[10:18] <yomm> Is there a way to clean out my var/cache/apt/* , but only the obsolete,older versions of packages ?
[10:18] <Kazz> doomnx: Do you have any kind of USB drive (mp3 player or anything), or a CD burner?  You could move files that wa y...
[10:18] <doomnx> zAo^ what do u mean?
[10:18] <tonyyarusso> geeksauce: just change 80 to 8080

[10:18] <doomnx> but where can i find the offline installation files?
[10:18] <rad1> zijn der ook NL'ers hiero?
[10:18] <zAo^> doomnx, you can start X with the buildin "nv" driver
[10:18] <geeksauce> tonyyarusso, i'll try that and let you know how it goes
[10:18] <doomnx> and i need exact instruction how to install them, i'm really new here
[10:18] <Stormx2> How do I find my usergroup?
[10:19] <doomnx> yeah i can start X
[10:19] <Kazz> doomnx: For what?  The whole OS?
[10:19] <doomnx> but i want 3D acceleration
[10:19] <Kazz> Ah.
[10:19] <doomnx> i have just installed ubuntu from the live cd
[10:19] <doomnx> nothing more
[10:19] <tjl30>  is there any other work environments other than KDE and GNOME for ubuntu 6.06?
[10:19] <DeL3e8> heh
[10:19] <Crazytom> Klanticus_, I already installed it
[10:19] <DeL3e8> ok
[10:19] <DeL3e8> calm down
[10:19] <ijacek> heh :)
[10:19] <Kronuz> LjL, I have 'root (hd0,0)' at my grub/menu.lst
[10:19] <DeL3e8> what kinda video card do you have
[10:19] <doomnx> GeForce 6800
[10:19] <Kronuz> LjL, what's the way hd0 and stuff work?
[10:20] <DeL3e8> nvidia
[10:20] <doomnx> yeah
[10:20] <DeL3e8> so ...
[10:20] <LjL> Kronuz: yeah that'd be the main issue for me -- i haven't a clue how RAID drives would get mapped to the GRUB (hdX,X) syntax
[10:20] <Kronuz> I would have guessed there should be a hdc, not hd0
[10:20] <Kronuz> hmm
[10:20] <Kronuz> :(
[10:20] <yomm> tjl30 : a few dozen of them :p
[10:20] <doomnx> and i need to install the drivers offline cause i don't have an internet connection at home
[10:20] <tjl30> is XFCE anygood ?
[10:20] <dougie> woot installing wow lol
[10:21] <felipeee> i configured my eth0 to be static and gave to it all information needed, the connection is RUNNING but i cant access any host

[10:21] <doomnx> anyway... i know that...
[10:21] <dougie> yeah helps a lotl
[10:21] <Kazz> Kronuz: The device name once you're booted (/dev/hdc) doesn't necessarily match up with the name that Grub needs.
[10:21] <tehchieftain> I am trying to install ventrilo to run through wine, i am having problems extracting the ventrilo install .exe file.  anyone know what the command is?
[10:21] <doomnx> i will be here same time tomorrow
[10:21] <DeL3e8> since the package mangler downloads packages and installs em
[10:21] <dougie> i tried to install some stuff manually before i got my wireless working and it just was not going well lol
[10:21] <Kronuz> Kazz, yeah, that's what I'm reading
[10:22] <Kazz> Kronuz: hd0 is the first disk that your BIOS shows to Grub, I believe...
[10:22] <doomnx> i hope u can help me then :(
[10:22] <Kronuz> it says I'll have to install grub manually

[10:23] <tehchieftain> its an .exe file.

[10:23] <Kronuz> what's that UUID in my fstab :S
[10:23] <tehchieftain> no, i want to extract the ventrilo exe
[10:23] <moonwatcher> hello
[10:24] <moonwatcher> and good evening

[10:24] <tehchieftain> ohhh thanks
[10:24] <Ashex> you need the rool to extract it first
[10:24] <Crazytom> Thanks
[10:24] <Kazz> UT_Guest_904: Edit the xorg.conf file.  If X is not starting right, you can probably get to a login prompt with Ctrl-Alt-F1 (or F2, etc. F7 is where X is trying to start).
[10:24] <Kronuz> Kazz, I'm getting worried now :S
[10:25] <moonwatcher> can anyone help with this alittle
[10:25] <Kronuz> Kazz, where are those UUID set?
[10:25] <tehchieftain> gosh, that was simpler than i thought, thanks ashex!
[10:25] <UT_Guest_904> Kazz: when do I hit that key combo?
[10:25] <tonyyarusso> geeksauce: there should be things like NameVirtualHost *:80, maybe
[10:25] <moonwatcher> i do i have some understanding of what is going on
[10:25] <tonyyarusso> geeksauce: if just *, ignore it
[10:25] <moonwatcher> need some help with it though
[10:25] <Ashex> tehchieftain, no problem. Anytime there's a command that doesn't work, just do an apt-cache search for it
[10:25] <Kazz> Kronuz: I dunno'...heh.  I'm struggling with RAID myself right now. ;)
[10:25] <ompaul> mwalling, what is the issue?
[10:25] <zach> How do I install ubuntu 6.06 on a Gateway E-1400
[10:25] <Kronuz> Kazz, really? :S
[10:25] <geeksauce> tonyyarusso, i'll pastebin the file, is that cool?  cause i don't see anything about any ports in there
[10:25] <mIRCTRUser-356> haw can  install a zoom modem driver :|
[10:26] <Kronuz> I suppose I can just change the UUIDs to /dev/mapper/....
[10:26] <b0b> ubuntu quit picking up my digital camera plz help
[10:26] <zach> !PCI
[10:26] <Ashex> Kazz, the uuid's are used instead of the actual drive (UUID=### instead of /dev/hda1), I believe it's done that way to avoid mix-ups
[10:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pci - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:26] <UT_Guest_904> Kazz: when its loading and you see a progress bar?

[10:26] <ubotu> You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
[10:26] <Kronuz> I dont' know what's a UUID doing there in /etc/fstab
[10:26] <Kazz> Kronuz: Yeah...I'm trying to get the kernel's LDM driver to read the stupid "windows dynamic disks" so I can set up arrays on them (and read the ntfs ones that are there).
[10:26] <Shyne> ugh im booting ubuntu and it wont start. recovery console tells me the file system check failed, and drops to a console .. what do i need to do to fix it ?

[10:26] <moonwatcher> anyone here with some knowlege of ubuntu networking, especially dns and routing?
[10:27] <tonyyarusso> geeksauce: sure
[10:27] <Kazz> UT_Guest_904: After that, once X fails to start...it's just giving you an error, right?
[10:27] <mwalling> xubuntu and ubuntu were burned on seperate discs and error out at the same place
[10:27] <dougie> hey how do you switch disc's when installing wow with wine
[10:27] <dougie> it wont let me eject the first disc
[10:27] <b0b> hell i asked you guys a question I get a feeling nobody in here rally knows what the hell they are talking about
[10:27] <UT_Guest_904> Kazz: as soon as its has reached 100% I get a blackscreen and an error from my monitor.

[10:28] <Keneo> can someone help me with getting a pc to boot form the network?
[10:28] <Kazz> dougie: I dunno' how wine affects it, but normally you'd unmount the disk and eject it...
[10:28] <zach> @hamster
[10:28] <b0b> sorry my wife is freaking out on me because the computer won't pick up the camera
[10:28] <dougie> anyone there?
[10:28] <Kazz> UT_Guest_904: Can you press Ctrl-Alt-F1 once you get that error?
[10:28] <mwalling> ompaul: burned 6.10 livecd
[10:28] <ompaul> mwalling, so what speed did you burn it at?
[10:28] <geeksauce> tonyyarusso, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9150/
[10:28] <UT_Guest_904> Kazz: I can try, if I succeed, what do I do then?
[10:29] <moonwatcher> b0b: blaming your wife wont help you here...:)
[10:29] <Iamiko> thanks to whoever posted the link for the 'how to' on installing NVidia drivers! That fixed my resolution problem nicely!
[10:29] <^DeL3e7^> congrats
[10:29] <Kazz> UT_Guest_904: You could try logging in from another computer through SSH...
[10:29] <tonyyarusso> geeksauce: yeah, you can just leave it then
[10:29] <ompaul> b0b, install gphoto2
[10:29] <mwalling> ompaul: i get the problem with both the ubuntu and the xubuntu disks
[10:29] <b0b> i did that
[10:29] <zach> I'm having trouble installing an ISA dial-up modem
[10:29] <duckie> how do I kill a process in the terminal by the process's name not ID
[10:29] <UT_Guest_904> kazz: I dont have another.
[10:29] <jlgaddis> duckie: "killall name"
[10:29] <mwalling> ompaul: and the gparted live usb thumb drive
[10:29] <ompaul> b0b, maybe you have a funny camera that is not "understood" by the software
[10:30] <duckie> cheers
[10:30] <geeksauce> tonyyarusso, it is still serving on port 80 and will not work (even from the inside) on 8080
[10:30] <b0b> well it picked up fine in ubuntu 6.06
[10:30] <Kazz> UT_Guest_904: It should work though...you probably just have the X config file set to use too high of a resolution/refresh rate for your monitor or somethin'...
[10:30] <tonyyarusso> geeksauce: you changed the listen though?
[10:30] <tonyyarusso> geeksauce: And restarted apache?
[10:30] <moonwatcher> i think my problem is related to: https://launchpad.net/avahi/+bug/72728/+viewstatus

[10:30] <UT_Guest_904> kazz: yes, so, if I manage to reach the console, how do I change my resolution in this config file?
[10:30] <moonwatcher> my ubuntu doesnt seem to be abke to resolve dns queries

[10:31] <UT_Guest_904> kazz, yes
[10:31] <moonwatcher> if i change my dns from the router's internal dns (192.168.1.1) to a public one (141.1.1.1) it works
[10:31] <Kazz> UT_Guest_904: Errr...wait...maybe you don't need to.
[10:31] <tonyyarusso> geeksauce: I gotta run though - if that didn't do it we can try again later.  (sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 to restart after changing ports.conf)
[10:31] <dyrne> moonwatcher: cat /etc/resolv.conf    on most home systems you should have one entry like nameserver 192.168.1.1 or something
[10:31] <Keneo> moonwatcher, have you entered your (or your isp's) dns servers?

[10:31] <moonwatcher> some incompatiablity between avahi and my router i presume
[10:31] <LjL> !sound
[10:31] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[10:32] <ompaul> mwalling, okay, I will ask my "important" question again, what speed did you try to burn the disks at?
[10:32] <Kazz> UT_Guest_904: There's a config script for it, people were talking about it a little while ago...what carlosqueso said could be it...
[10:32] <Keneo> moonwatcher, I know the problem, ubuntu doesn't seem to get the dns queries from the router, but if you just add them in: system, administration, network, tab dns, it works
[10:32] <UT_Guest_904> kazz: hmm? *tries to find that*
[10:32] <dougie> anyone? I'm installing WoW with wine and it wants me to swap disc's but it wont unmount the one thats in there cause its in use?? how do i swap the disc?
[10:32] <Kazz> UT_Guest_904: Otherwise you can manually edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but that's harder...
[10:33] <hiddnx> anyone here knows how to start it after install istead of gnome without uninstalling last?
[10:33] <Kazz> dougie: I already answered you...did you try unmounting it?  Will it not let you?

[10:33] <moonwatcher> Keneo, ^Del3e7^: thanks for listening :) i am not exactly sure wht is going on but it has to be some incompatability, i found this ticket, ifconfig looks , /etc/resolve.conf has 192.168.1.1 as it should have, eveythign works on windows, and in fact everythign works if i change 192.168.1.1 to a public dns
[10:34] <Kazz> hiddnx: Check their docs, they should tell you how...
[10:34] <zach> :)
[10:34] <hiddnx> do u know the link?
[10:34] <zach> l
[10:34] <moonwatcher> which is naturally no good because dhcp requests set it back to 192.168.1.1
[10:34] <Kazz> dougie: Try what dyrne said...if that doesn't work, wine might not be letting it go, so you might have to ask people in the wine channel or somethin'...
[10:34] <DisabledBobcat> Could anyone help me with an apache/php/mysql question I have?
[10:34] <hiddnx> Kazz:i installed docs also, i donno how to get it
[10:34] <Innatech> Does anyone have any info on an email server package that will run on Ubuntu LTS and support Blackberries somehow?
[10:35] <dougie> Kazz: ok it unmounted but it wont let me eject still
[10:35] <moonwatcher> Keneo: exactly, but i am not suppose to e using the public dns
[10:35] <moonwatcher> i have an internal dns on the router
[10:35] <Ashex> dougie, eject cdrom
[10:35] <Keneo> but your router uses a public dns somewherE?
[10:35] <Ashex> er, that's a command
[10:35] <mwalling> ompaul: i'm reburning them as slow as i can now, but my point of bringing up the liveusb was that i get the same error, which is not burned
[10:35] <moonwatcher> my gut feeling is that it has somethign to do with that infernal avahi service that sprung up at some edgy update
[10:35] <Keneo> or the ones from your isp
[10:35] <Kazz> hiddnx: I don't know the link...I don't even know what ion3 is...a WM I guess?
[10:36] <tj007s13> anyone know how to add users in vsftpd, i can only log in as annonymous???
[10:36] <^DeL3e7^> thats weird moonwatcher
[10:36] <moonwatcher> yes my router is not the problem because windows machines work perfect
[10:36] <ompaul> mwalling, so then the next question is how big is the hard drive
[10:36] <geeksauce> having trouble installing java w/ mozilla plugin, can someone help me with that too?
[10:36] <hiddnx> yes, i see the doc folder also.. :)
[10:36] <dougie> thanks!
[10:36] <moonwatcher> no fuckign shit its wired :) took me some time to understand what he hell was going on

[10:37] <willskills> any WoW gamers here? does 2.0.10.6448 work on your install? was a patch released today, I get this when I run it now; http://pastebin.com/895512 (I noticed wine 9.0.32 is out, should maybe grab that)
[10:37] <ailean> i've downloaded a version of azureus and want to extract and ./ it. where should i extract it?
[10:37] <ompaul> moonwatcher, please mind your language - if you have a bug there is launchpad.net
[10:37] <petethe1> can anyone here help out a newbie who has NEVER used any unix-related before and wants to set machine to JOIN, not as a domain-controller but as just a member, but just join a Windows NT network?
[10:37] <fiddybux> hi room. wonder if anyone can advise on this 'ACPI: Fatal Opcode Error' I'm getting on my IBM T22 laptop?

[10:38] <ed___> pawel, hi
[10:38] <Kazz> Hi. :)
[10:38] <Keneo> moonwatcher, your router is using a dns server somewhere? Can't you just add that one to system, admin, network, tab dns
[10:38] <moonwatcher> i am not really sure how to describe it
[10:38] <carlosqueso> welcome pawel, what can we help ya with?
[10:38] <dougie> hmm....strange....i had to manually mount the second disc and it still sasy WoWDisc1 instead of 2
[10:38] <tj007s13> anyone know how to add users in vsftpd, i can only log in as annonymous???
[10:38] <ompaul> mwalling, I have no reason to think that that drive would not format, what way are you partitioning it?
[10:38] <hiddnx> Kazz: thanx, good idea for this time )
[10:38] <Keneo> tj007s13, you have an option to allow local users to log in to vsftpd
[10:39] <Keneo> in the config file
[10:39] <sjust1227> does any one know anything about usb printers
[10:39] <ompaul> !ntfs | petethe1
[10:39] <ubotu> petethe1: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[10:39] <Kazz> dougie: There may be something different you were supposed to do for wine...there's a wine channel somewhere on this server, and they might be able to help...
[10:39] <moonwatcher> Keneo: no because every time there is a dhcp reques it goes back to 192.168.1.1
[10:39] <Kronuz> okay, it seems it should be it
[10:39] <moonwatcher> on the ubuntu
[10:39] <dougie> somone just said there is a how-to for WoW on wine
[10:39] <dougie> going to try and find that
[10:39] <dyrne> dougie: could you just copy all the disks to a directory then copy that to /media/cdrom or something? it normally is just first cd the restar are .pak files
[10:39] <Kronuz> brb (I'll try to reboot, I hope I didn't f*#k up everything :S)
[10:39] <moonwatcher> i know my isp's dns, thats not the point
[10:40] <Keneo> moonwatcher, you are sure?
[10:40] <ailean> i've downloaded a version of azureus and want to extract and ./ it. where should i extract it?
[10:40] <Innatech> petethe1: have a look here, follow the link to the HOWTO
[10:40] <tj007s13> Keneo: Does that mean I can log into it with my root login for linux itself?
[10:40] <pawel> how enable neiberhood in ubuntu ? (earlier i used windows :)
[10:40] <moonwatcher> the point is the routing on the ubuntu is messed up
[10:40] <mwalling> ompaul: i am getting a kernal panic. it is not even trying to format.

[10:40] <Ax3> anyone have experience with freenx? started it up and the remote screen simply stays black. could use some help plz. :)
[10:40] <Keneo> tj007s13, if you enable that option in the config file you can
[10:40] <dougie> probably could but would take forever lol
[10:41] <dyrne> Ax3: using nomachine client on xp?
[10:41] <Kazz> pawel: If you have an open "network neighborhood" thing, you should be able to get to it automatically, I think.  Check Places > Network Servers
[10:41] <moonwatcher> what is that message from avahi about not supporting .local domain?
[10:41] <ompaul> mwalling, then that is like a problem it is having with the motherboard - so you can do a couple of things there, but first what version are you using
[10:41] <ed___> hi all, im just installed herd 5, and I was wondering if when beta is released if I will have to reinstall or if I just install all the update if that will be the equivilent. and when stable comes out if i havr to reinstall or if I just have to install all updates?
[10:41] <moonwatcher> i am not even sure what it is talkign about

[10:41] <Ax3> dyrne: yup, i've had it working for the past week, i restarted the ubuntu box just nowto make sure it's not just a qwerk
[10:41] <moonwatcher> btw, it works ok at work
[10:41] <ompaul> ed___, please go to #ubuntu+1 for the development version thans
[10:41] <ompaul> thanks

[10:42] <cr4z3d> hello, i have a question about getting my wireless card into monitor mode. i'm only able to get my card to work with WPA using ndiswrapper and NM but can only put it into monitor mode using the prism54 driver. what's the best way to get both of these working? (monitor mode and WPA)
[10:42] <carlosqueso> ed___ in the past you've been able to just update
[10:42] <ZepDom> I have 2 drives with Ubuntu installed.  Can someone tell me how to access the contents of the non-boot drive from the booted ubuntu OS?

[10:42] <ompaul> !bootoptions > mwalling   (see the message from the bot - tell it to ignore all the power management stuff until you get it together a bit more
[10:42] <moonwatcher> it has to be some incompatibility between my router and ubuntu

[10:43] <Ax3> ah bingo it started up
[10:43] <Ax3> a reboot actually worked, dyrne !
[10:43] <JasonDM> ok, so I did what the second link said to do, and I still get no sound ;/
[10:43] <Keneo> moonwatcher, that is true, have seen it before
[10:44] <cr4z3d> hello, i have a question about getting my wireless card into monitor mode. i'm only able to get my card to work with WPA using ndiswrapper and NM but can only put it into monitor mode using the prism54 driver. what's the best way to get both of these working? (monitor mode and WPA)
[10:44] <moonwatcher> Keneo, any suggestions?
[10:44] <moonwatcher> any idea what actually is going on?
[10:44] <moonwatcher> how come it was workign fine before?
[10:44] <ZepDom> I have 2 drives with Ubuntu installed.  Can someone tell me how to access the contents of the non-boot drive from the booted ubuntu OS?
[10:44] <mwalling> ompaul: i was able to refine my google query while talking. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/63134 is talking about my problem
[10:44] <dyrne> Ax3: sorry i dont know why gnome-session isnt starting but workaround appearantly is to just ssh and start it http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/freenx-knx/2005-October/002369.html
[10:44] <Keneo> whel, as I said, I only know I always get it to work by adding the dns server to the dns tab in the network config tool
[10:44] <cr4z3d> ZepDom, i think you have to mount it
[10:44] <Keneo> btw, it is really weird
[10:45] <Keneo> since
[10:45] <Keneo> if you ping to f.ex google.com it wil resolve the dns
[10:45] <pancho> Inostdal are you here?
[10:45] <Keneo> can you confirm that?
[10:45] <ZepDom> crazed:  how do I do that?
[10:45] <Ax3> dyrne: it started up following a complete reboot of the remote box, must have been a glitch
[10:45] <petethe1> can anyone here help out a newbie who has NEVER used any unix-related before and wants to set machine to JOIN, not as a domain-controller but as just a member, but just join a Windows NT network?  more specificaly, any way to do so using 'click here, enter your passowrd' utilieis in the OS shell?  I've never directly messed with any kind of config or ini or command-line file in my life
[10:45] <Crazytom> OH MY GOD!!!!!  i finally got my wireless card working.  i used the mac address of my ap and used iwconfig eth1 ap 00:18:F8:65:xx:xx then i did a dhclient and it worked

[10:51] <carlosqueso> botamice: after you get tat error too?
[10:51] <shadeofgrey> would somebody please explain to me why the installation of ubuntu on macbookpro's is still so aprehensibly complicated?
[10:51] <shadeofgrey> furthermore
[10:51] <deep> Botamis2: Hmm, how about using the alt. cd?
[10:51] <shadeofgrey> are the ati video drives fubared still?
[10:51] <Botamis2> alt cd?
[10:52] <Jowi> shadeofgrey, what type of cpu and graphic card in that one and which version of ubuntu?
[10:52] <Botamis2> I went to downloads and I clicked the newest version, 6.10
[10:52] <Botamis2> burned the cd and away i went
[10:52] <FidelCapslock> predaeus: thank you for your reply. I have USB 2.0, working great in windows xp and vista. Could this be a problem with configuration of some kind?
[10:52] <carlosqueso> !alternate | Botamis2
[10:52] <ubotu> Botamis2: 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.

I'm using "mysql_connect("localhost", "uname", "pass") where uname and pass are my username and password. Any ideas?
[10:53] <Botamis2> So then I would want my Live CD
[10:53] <predaeus> FidelCapslock, sry don't know.
[10:53] <carlosqueso> botamis2..but since you can't install with it, you'll need the alternate
[10:53] <SoulChild> hey all, i want to see all packages that are not included in ubuntu-minimal, gnome-core and xorg, how do i set up this filter ???
[10:53] <Botamis2> So when I run this Live CD, what do I do in the begining. Oh why's that?
[10:54] <FidelCapslock> predaeus: thank you anyway!
[10:54] <erUSUL> geeksauce: in edgy you hace sun-java5-jre the 6 version is only in backports... have you enabled backports...
[10:54] <carlosqueso> because X isn't workign on the live CD
[10:54] <erUSUL> ?
[10:54] <predaeus> you are welcome
[10:54] <Botamis2> alright and where would i find this alt?
[10:54] <carlosqueso> Botamis2, where, physically are you?

[10:55] <Jowi> shadeofgrey, the standard edgy desktop cd should install without a problem if you have a MBR partition (slightly more complex with GPT). I don't know about the ati drivers (got a 945GM in the mac mini working flawlessly with accellerated graphics)
[10:55] <JasonDM> sound still doesn't work ;/
[10:55] <Botamis2> Thanks man
[10:55] <Slasherx2> can anyone tell me how come kvirc isn't showing up in apt-get anymore? (it did before, but i messed up ubuntu and had to start again --- thanks ATi, NOT lol)
[10:56] <carlosqueso> botamis2...you may have to do some manual tweaking to get x to work once you install, but it should at least work
[10:56] <carlosqueso> yw
[10:56] <Jowi> shadeofgrey, the edgy version of GRUB is fine. in dapper you would need to install lilo.
[10:56] <geeksauce> erUSUL, i thought i enabled all repos, but i will double-check
[10:56] <Botamis2> Alright thanks again
[10:56] <carlosqueso> np...good luck
[10:57] <Jowi> shadeofgrey, so, if you plan _not_ to dualboot OSX I would recommend creating a 200MB MBR partition instead of the GPT one.
[10:58] <Kronuz> hey, is there a way I can force mounting a ntfs partition?
[10:58] <Lauren1> Is this channel an English channel only?
[10:58] <Jowi> yes Lauren1
[10:59] <Kronuz> I shrunk the ntfs partition using ntfsresize and fdisk
[10:59] <Jowi> Lauren1, other languages are available though
[10:59] <Kronuz> but now it seems it's no longer working :S
[10:59] <incorperated> hey
[10:59] <geeksauce> erUSUL, heh, i had all repos enabled except that and proposed updates.  i'll try again.  ultimately i'm trying to get frostwire to work.
[10:59] <incorperated> can someone help me with apache
[10:59] <incorperated> step by step
[10:59] <incorperated> please
[10:59] <Jowi> Lauren1, what language do you speak?
[10:59] <incorperated> im a newb
[10:59] <Kronuz> anyone has any idea how I can try to recover it?
[10:59] <slawson> incorperated,
[10:59] <Kazz> Kronuz: The partition was made with vista, wasn't it?
[10:59] <erUSUL> geeksauce: the 6 version is in backports
[10:59] <Lauren1> I can do English and French
[10:59] <incorperated> yeah slawson
[10:59] <slawson> Open a terminal type sudo apt-get update
[10:59] <erUSUL> !backports > geeksauce
[10:59] <Kronuz> Kazz, yep
[11:00] <Lauren1> This my first attemp at using Gaim
[11:00] <Jowi> Lauren1, stay here for english or /join #ubuntu-fr for french support
[11:00] <slawson> after that is complete type sudo apt-get install apache
[11:00] <likwidtek> hey guys, I would like some tips on installing applications under WINE.  Is it possible to integrate WINE with the UI so if I double click an EXE file it will auto WINE it?  Or do I need to always drop to the terminal?
[11:00] <Kronuz> Kazz, but I used ntfsresize 1.13.1 (supposedly with Vista support)
[11:00] <Lauren1> How can I follow my thread all is going so fast
[11:00] <incorperated> slawson is there a private room
[11:00] <incorperated> we can go to
[11:00] <incorperated> to many people
[11:01] <Kazz> Kronuz: I think it should be recoverable, but I don't remember how...I hope there wasn't important data on there already that wasn't backed up though...
[11:01] <Jowi> Lauren1, that is a problem when it's busy in here :)

[11:01] <Lauren1> Thank you jowi
[11:01] <JasonDM> ;[
[11:01] <Kazz> milanm: There are probably several options...I haven't gone looking for one yet though, so I dunno' what's best...
[11:01] <Jowi> Lauren1, de rien
[11:01] <erUSUL> Lauren1: those talking to you will prepend ypur name to the phrase and most irc clients will highlight those lines
[11:02] <JasonDM> someone care to help me set up my m-audio revo 5.1 card and ubuntu to work together?
[11:02] <incorperated> slawson
[11:02] <disposable> i'm trying to stop apache2 from displaying its version and my distro name. i've added 'ServerTokens Prod' into httpd.conf and restarted /etc/init.d/apache2 but to no avail. what am i missing?
[11:02] <Kazz> Kronuz: Yuck...you should always make backups, especially before doing weird things like setting up RAID or resizing partitions...
[11:02] <geeksauce> while that is downloading, can someone help me out with a screen resolution problem?  i know my video card can do better and right now it won't go any higher than 1024x768
[11:02] <JasonDM> geeksauce, me too
[11:02] <UT_Guest_765> HELP! Im going insane, been rebooting for 2 hours now! I get a resolution error each time I try to enter Ubuntu! I cant even eneter the command thingy(alt+ctrl+f1) without the screen being scrambled! Help!
[11:02] <Kronuz> Kazz, I didn't think it was that dangerous :P
[11:03] <Lauren1> I installed Ubuntu on a preformatted FAT32 drive. The volume name is SCRUB. Is there a way to eother delete this or rename it
[11:03] <Jowi> ubotu, tell geeksauce about resolution
[11:03] <likwidtek> hey guys, I would like some tips on installing applications under WINE.  Is it possible to integrate WINE with the UI so if I double click an EXE file it will auto WINE it?  Or do I need to always drop to the terminal?
[11:03] <dyrne> UT_Guest_765: what version did you install? might try feisty or dapper instead
[11:03] <carlosqueso> UT_Guest: cann you boot into a recovery mode from grub and run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[11:03] <boredandblogging> milanm, have you tried squirrel sql? it works pretty well
[11:03] <carlosqueso> ?
[11:03] <Kazz> Kronuz: It's never been a safe thing, really...it's usually not too dangerous, but still, I would be worried about possibly losing important data...
[11:03] <erUSUL> Lauren1: maybe gparted can set partitons labels i do not know for sure
[11:03] <incorperated> can someone help me with apache

[11:03] <dyrne> UT_Guest_765: feisty is pretty stable
[11:03] <incorperated> please
[11:04] <UT_Guest_765> dyrne: edgy
[11:04] <disposable> dyrne, feisty is buggy like hell
[11:04] <dyrne> UT_Guest_765: soo alt-ctrl-f2 you cant login?
[11:04] <UT_Guest_765> dyrne:or edge
[11:04] <Kronuz> Kazz, so there are ways to recover/fix the NTFS volume?
[11:04] <geeksauce> Jowi, thanks for the link.  i figured that whole thing would have been fixed in edgy. (i had the problem in hoary and breezy)
[11:04] <Lauren1> erUSUL: I have looked at gparted. Nothing there for this option
[11:04] <moonwatcher> Keneo: should i wait for a bugfix? should i get a new router? a new computer a diffrent os? install openwrt on the router?
[11:04] <moonwatcher> a clue?
[11:04] <dyrne> disposable: i didnt run into problems in herd3 or 4 havent upgraded to 5 though
[11:04] <incorperated> anyone
[11:04] <incorperated> can help
[11:04] <incorperated> someone
[11:05] <Keneo> moonwatcher, you should get it to work
[11:05] <Kazz> Kronuz: There might be...I read something about recovering from a messed up resizing of an ntfs partition recently, but I've read so many pages I can't tell ya where I saw it... :(

[11:05] <Jowi> Lauren1, "parted" should be able to name partitions
[11:05] <Slasherx2> :\
[11:05] <dyrne> disposable: well small lib issues and some binary problems and nvidia had to install manually but other than that
[11:05] <UT_Guest_765> dyrne: alt+ctrl+f2 during the loading sequence and nothing happens. if I hit alt+ctrl+f1 tho I enter some dos-look-a-like, but when its ready to be used the screen gets scrabled!
[11:05] <Kazz> Probably on linux-ntfs.org I'm guessing, but I'm not sure...
[11:05] <milanm> boredandblogging, didn't try anything yet. Fishing for options. Have 10 remote Oracle databases, would like to know what's good.
[11:05] <Keneo> moonwatcher, you should use a public dns server, or a dns provided by your isp
[11:05] <Kronuz> Kazz, it says I should run chkdsk /f
[11:05] <disposable> dyrne, try expert install of 64bit version. i've submitted so many bugs that i've now given up on it...
[11:05] <Kazz> You could ask in their forum if you can't find anything else...
[11:05] <dyrne> UT_Guest_765: you have to give it a bit more time to boot i think
[11:05] <incorperated> ok
[11:05] <giod> can someone help me set up dual monitors
[11:05] <milanm> thanks for suggestions, evereyone
[11:05] <incorperated> sorry
[11:05] <Kronuz> but I can't boot
[11:06] <Keneo> moonwatcher, that is what your router does anyway I guess
[11:06] <Lauren1> Jowi: thank you I will look further in gparted I guess its the same a parted?
[11:06] <boredandblogging> milanm, I've used squirrel for informix dbs on windows and linux, works fine
[11:06] <Slasherx2> anyone have any idea how i would go about installing kvirc?
[11:06] <Jowi> Lauren1, it is not the same
[11:06] <dmb062082> any idea why browsing the interrnet (only browsing) is so slow?
[11:06] <dyrne> disposable: i have great regard for you 64bit users.  i wont be using it till you guys sort everything out :)
[11:06] <Slasherx2> dmb062082: which browser?
[11:06] <Popoi> do someone use gift (apollon, giftoxic) here? I need help compilin fasttrack plugin form source
[11:06] <dmb062082> NY...
[11:07] <Kazz> Kronuz: Sorry, I really can't remember what they said they did...and there's no guarantee that it'd work, but hopefully you can find something about it and get it fixed... :(
[11:07] <disposable> dyrne, :)
[11:07] <erUSUL> Lauren1: install mtools and use the malbel command
[11:07] <dmb062082> ANY.... ff or he other two big ones

[11:07] <tehchieftain> what kind of icon files does ubuntu use?
[11:07] <dyrne> UT_Guest_765: wait until you can use f2.
[11:07] <posingaspopular> dmb062082: what are youn looking for? sorry i didnt read above.
[11:08] <dyrne> UT_Guest_765: if that doesnt work honestly it might be easier to use dapper and then upgrade to feister a month or 2 from now
[11:08] <Slasherx2> weird
[11:08] <disposable> tehchieftain, /usr/share/pixmaps

[11:09] <Slasherx2> strange
[11:09] <giod> can someone help me set up dual monitors
[11:09] <tobyr> Hey guys, I have Ubuntu and XP installed on the same drive as a Dual Boot, can I make my Linux Partition bigger safely?
[11:09] <dmb062082> ty
[11:09] <tehchieftain> gesu1, i was wondering the same thing.
[11:09] <carlosqueso> UT_Guest_765: you should be able to choose "recovery mode" from the grub menu
[11:09] <carlosqueso> hit escape when gbooting
[11:09] <UT_Guest_765> carl: yes
[11:10] <Gesu1> so there's not like a 'startup' folder like in windows?
[11:10] <dyrne> UT_Guest_765: hit 'e' key at boot prompt and add this to the end of the kernel line: 'init=/bin/sh'  hit enter then the b button to boot. when you are at a # prompt type 'mount -o remount,rw /'
[11:10] <geeksauce> Jowi, i am using nVidia drivers so i followed those instructions and i assume i need to restart x.  what's the command for that?
[11:10] <dyrne> UT_Guest_765: might work
[11:10] <carlosqueso> try that, and then run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg at the command line after you log in
[11:10] <kimiks> chi pu darmi una mano

[11:10] <erUSUL> !it > kimiks
[11:10] <Kazz> tobyr: You can, but resizing partitions isn't completely safe, so back up your important data if you do it.
[11:10] <Jowi> geeksauce, sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart.

[11:12] <Kazz> Just in case.
[11:12] <tobyr> Ok
[11:12] <tobyr> Thanks :)
[11:12] <Kazz> np :)
[11:12] <tehchieftain> is it a linux irc client?
[11:12] <moonwatcher> Keneo: that doesnt make much sense as the router caches those queries
[11:12] <tehchieftain> hell, im just going to get mirc and run it in wine
[11:12] <erUSUL> tehchieftain: xchat
[11:12] <carlosqueso> Slasherx2, just type sudo apt-get install kvirc at a command prompt
[11:12] <Kazz> tehchieftain: Xchat's good. :)
[11:12] <moonwatcher> well a normal router should, will have openwrt on it soon, hopefully this whole thing will be gone
[11:12] <Kazz> Or at least I think it is.
[11:12] <tehchieftain> xchat? anything like mirc?
[11:12] <Kazz> Yeah, kinda'.
[11:12] <Slasherx2> carlesoriol: i did, not found :(

[11:14] <geeksauce> Jowi, that did not work. would running the autoconfiguration script again help?  i'm hesitant because i'm using Nvidia drivers
[11:14] <xethx96> Hello all
[11:14] <carlosqueso> slasherx2: type sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and make it look like http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/
[11:15] <Jowi> geeksauce, I'm unsure when it comes to nvidia. Might be that a kernel module for your card has been installed. a reboot might be necessary
[11:15] <xethx96> im brand new to linux and im trying to make it so my netgear wireless pci card will work
[11:15] <moonwatcher> Keneo: anyway every time i reconnect or dhcp lease times out i get 192.168.1.1, which again makes sense, and since it is a standard firmware on the router at the moment, nothing much i can do about it

[11:15] <geeksauce> Jowi, i had to reboot because i don't know how to restart x once it shuts down.
[11:16] <xethx96> can anyone please tell me?
[11:16] <dyrne> xethx96: best bet usually is to search ubuntuforums.org for your model card. you can usually find a howto
[11:16] <Keneo> moonwatcher, yes, you get 192.168.1.1 as your ip adres, but this doesn't have to do a thing with which dns server you are going to use?

[11:16] <dyrne> xethx96: and of course ask here
[11:16] <Slasherx2> :D
[11:16] <darkcommon> how I can install an splash for booting of Beryl
[11:16] <xethx96> ok
[11:16] <carlosqueso> slasherx2 great! enjoy
[11:16] <xethx96> im new to linux
[11:16] <Jowi> geeksauce, I've only installed one nvidia card in my life (worked fine but still). I don't think I'm the right person to ask.
[11:17] <moonwatcher> Keneo: worng, i get 192.168.1.100 as my ip address, or something similar. 192.168.1.1 is the router which is also defualt gateway and dns

[11:17] <Slasherx2> sorry haha
[11:18] <moonwatcher> Keneo : the router IS the dns, of course it uses the isp's dns which it gets in turn when it negotiated the ppp connection (PPPoA) but it caches dns queries

[11:19] <Keneo> moonwatcher, I don't get your problem, your router is 192.168.1.1, ok, you are 192.168.1.60 (f.ex) you put a public dns server in system, administration, network, tab dns, and let 192.168.1.1 in there either. So, now your ip won't change, the dhcp server won't change that dns server (or does it?) and your router will keep it's ip, what is the prob?
[11:19] <giod> yea

[11:22] <dyrne> geeksauce: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf     no scroll down to the bottom and edit the entry for default 24. if you dont have a gui use sudo nano instead of gksudo gedit
[11:22] <moonwatcher> what i did now is increase dhcp lease to 72 hours so at least i get to keep the manual dns
[11:22] <giod> Jowi: yes i have tried there
[11:22] <Keneo> moonwatcher, you don't have to remove 192.168.1.1
[11:22] <moonwatcher> Keneo: still thats not a permanent solution

[11:23] <moonwatcher> i mean what do i have a outer for???
[11:23] <Keneo> with the not working settings
[11:23] <Jowi> giod, think it's called twinview
[11:23] <moonwatcher> Keneo: wil try now. brb (probebly make me dissconnect)
[11:23] <tehchieftain> is there a way i can set a certain task to be done on connecting to an irc server with xchat
[11:23] <geeksauce> dyrne, edit it to say what?
[11:23] <tehchieftain> like a perform or something
[11:23] <riaal> anyone uses a password organizer?
[11:24] <giod> Jowi: i know its called twinview
[11:24] <Keneo> since, I got this weird situation where ping does resolve dns, but other aplications (like irc client/firefox) don't
[11:24] <giod> Jowi: i just dont know how to set it up
[11:24] <moonwatcher> Keneo: wait
[11:24] <Keneo> k

[11:25] <Keneo> had this probrlem with a friend of mine, will ask him wich router he uses
[11:25] <duckie> /leav

[11:33] <geeksauce> Jowi, hmm.  well, i will try restarting the whole system this time.  back in a few.
[11:33] <Jowi> geeksauce, I usually restart by going to console, log in and use "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" followed by "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start"
[11:34] <carlosqueso> Albert_ then paste the results of cat /etc/apt/sources.list in paste.ubuntu-nl.org and give me the url

[11:39] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3

[11:47] <loquitus_of_borg> I am wondering. I have a process running that, whenever it runs, seems to cause the system's free memory to dwindle down to 2 MB or so and then the process becomes non-functional. The process only seems to be taking 5 MB according to top but it causes 40 MB or so of system memory to vanish. When I close the process, that lost system memory does not come back... what's the deal?
[11:47] <gyaresu> bruenig: Thanks.

[12:00] <xethx96> i dont understand this code...
[12:00] <gyaresu> VII: Probably envy is the best way for you.
[12:00] <VII> hmm
[12:00] <xethx96> mostly the $(uname -r)

[12:00] <bruenig> xethx96, do uname -r in the terminal, then you will get it
[12:00] <cafuego_> haha, funny
[12:00] <gyaresu> Giod_: I imagine you've been trying different settings?
[12:00] <gonzoism> xethx96  whatever is in the parenthesis gets ran and the output gets put there
