[12:01] <geeksauce> Jordan_U, after installing nvidia drivers for my card, the resolution won't go as high as it would with the linux drivers.
[12:01] <Megaqwerty> gonzoism: wow, it is easy! Thanks!
[12:01] <gyaresu> Giod_: An xorg.conf would be helpful
[12:01] <gonzoism> megaQwerty  happy to help
[12:01] <FLSimpsonKPT> can I install a flashplayer for a x64 version of ubuntu?
[12:01] <Giod_> gyaresu: you want a copy of mine?
[12:01] <bruenig> FLSimpsonKPT, you mean plugin?
[12:01] <hanbush> hello, i just switched to ubuntu, its my first time using linux, whats a good mp3 manager for ubuntu, something similiar to itunes or winamp?
[12:01] <FLSimpsonKPT> bruenig, yes for Firefox
[12:01] <bruenig> !mediaplayer
[12:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mediaplayer - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:01] <xethx96> i ger a could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[12:01] <geeksauce> hanbush, i use xmms...it's almost exactly like winamp
[12:01] <Nafet> My father made the computer from parts that were given to him at his tech. school, there aren't any labels or names anywhere on or in it.
[12:01] <gyaresu> Giod_: Pastebin yours.
[12:02] <Nafet> hmm...
[12:02] <tritoch> hanbush: amarok is a fanfavorite
[12:02] <Giod_> kk
[12:02] <Jowi> !players | hanbush (I use quodlibet myself)
[12:02] <ubotu> hanbush (I use quodlibet myself): Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Banshee, Beep Media Player, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine  -  See also !codecs
[12:02] <gonzoism> xethx96  for instance, the command: echo $(ls) would echo out everything ls spits out
[12:02] <raven3x7>  i need help with a networking problem. im trying to open a certain port range but i cant get it to work. i've used both a direct iptables command and firestarter, but nmapfe still tells me the port is closed. i tried restarting iptables but that didnt work either
[12:02] <bruenig> FLSimpsonKPT, there are some scripts on the forums that will do it for you, you have to install the 32 bit firefox, or you can build a 32 chroot environment
[12:02] <Nafet> wait a sec.
[12:02] <gonzoism> xethx96  yave to be root
[12:02] <gonzoism> xethx96  use sudo at the front
[12:02] <bruenig> he probably has synaptic open
[12:02] <hanbush> which one is most similiar to itunes?
[12:02] <jake_> guys how do install flash plater in ubuntu? im a newbie
[12:03] <FLSimpsonKPT> bruenig, how would I go about installing the 32 bit version of firefox on this 64 bit machiene?
[12:03] <gonzoism> xethx96   or close synaptic   can't use two package managers at the same time
[12:03] <bruenig> jake_, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree, assuming you have the right repositories enabled
[12:03] <bruenig> FLSimpsonKPT, get the 32 bit tar.gz from firefox and extract it
[12:03] <VII> In the instructions for envy it says "double click on the deb package in Ubuntu", where is that?
[12:03] <gyaresu> hanbush: amarok but not really
[12:03] <FLSimpsonKPT> bruenig, then
[12:03] <gonzoism> bruenig  do i want binary-i386 or installer-i386 ?
[12:03] <bruenig> FLSimpsonKPT, there is a plugins folder in there, put the flashplayer.so in there
[12:03] <Jowi> Nafet, well, first thing first. No need for labels. if the computer start up, enter bios and check size of RAM and which cpu is installed.
[12:03] <xethx96> couldn't fine package build-essential

[12:05] <nothlit> VII: ubotu is a bot, not a person
[12:05] <gonzoism> stooormy  its probably /dev/sda1 or something
[12:05] <daedra> hey whats the terminal command to "print screen"
[12:05] <xethx96> E: Couldn't find package build-essential
[12:05] <daedra> or take a screenshot
[12:05] <VII> nothlit, lol, ok
[12:05] <gonzoism> stooormy   maybe /dev/sdb1  or sdc1
[12:05] <bruenig> jake_, I meant sudo apt-get install -f
[12:05] <stooormy> It basically lets me access, but not save to... Something along the lines of I must write-enable it
[12:05] <gonzoism> stooormy  does dmesg |grep sd  sow anything ?
[12:05] <gonzoism> stooormy  what filesystem is on it ?
[12:05] <hanbush> is there a version of amarok for beryl/gnome?
[12:06] <bruenig> hanbush, the regular amarok will work fine
[12:06] <Nafet> ok
[12:06] <JasonDM> ok
[12:06] <VII> Gyaresu: In the instructions for envy it says "double click on the deb package in Ubuntu", where is that?
[12:06] <JasonDM> found out why sound wasn't working

[12:06] <daedra> hey whats the terminal command to "print screen"?
[12:06] <gonzoism> hanbush  no.  it would be the same thing.  use regular amarok.  beryl is what does the efects

[12:07] <gyaresu> VII: Have you enabled your extra repositories?
[12:07] <Jowi> Nafet, you will need the alternative cd. the desktop/live will not boot on that little ram
[12:07] <loquitus_of_borg> Is there a way to know how much actual "memory" is available for processes to use? I am getting the understanding now that the amount of "free" memory displayed by top in Linux is a bit misleading since Linux actually takes over all the free memory. So how much memory is actually availalbe to a process?
[12:07] <xethx96> gonzoism: E: Coultn't find package build-essential
[12:07] <mikeo2> anyone have problems with networking in 2.6.20.1?
[12:07] <Jowi> !alternate | Nafet
[12:07] <igor47> or does anyone have the old version of kvm somewhere on their system? like in /var/cache/apt ?
[12:07] <ubotu> Nafet: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[12:07] <VII> gyaresu, not that I know of
[12:07] <VII> wow, Im so confused.. :D
[12:07] <gonzoism> xethx96  wow.  hm...

[12:07] <tritoch> !mysql
[12:07] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[12:07] <gonzoism> xethx96  you are on the command line aren't you ?

[12:08] <Nafet> any sugestions for a computer with that ammount of mem?

[12:11] <gyaresu> KanRiNiN: Looking now but first question is "Why do you need to recompile?"
[12:11] <bruenig> gonzoism, that link I sent you doesn't have any debs, I should have checked, this is where the debs are if you didn't figure it out. http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/
[12:11] <mikeo2> if i do a /etc/init.d/networking restart it gets its ip properly from dhcp, but i cant ping the gateway
[12:11] <daedra> Hi, does anyone know the command to take a screenshot?
[12:12] <xethx96> gonzoism where would i look
[12:12] <gonzoism> bruenig  thanks  i was wondering
[12:12] <stooormy> Well the backup usb drive is H: on windows and I have a dvd burner plus cd rw ... I doubt my virtual drive matters now
[12:12] <Nafet> well I get to a dark brown background, with a small window with the ubuntu logo and a small message on the bottom saying window manager
[12:12] <mikeo2> and no networking works
[12:12] <KanRiNiN> gyaresu: I'm getting poor framerates in UT2004 and a friend recommended it.
[12:12] <gonzoism> mikeo2 killall dhclient3 first  then try that
[12:12] <stooormy> But as far as finding the backup, nope
[12:12] <juice`> any ideas how to solve this problem?
[12:12] <juice`> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2262468
[12:12] <mikeo2> how do i see if the drivers are loaded too
[12:12] <nrdb> daedra: there is a menu item to take a screen shot
[12:12] <juice`> i already sent it as a bug, but no response
[12:12] <mikeo2> cause have to reboot everytime i try something
[12:13] <gyaresu> KanRiNiN: Pastebin's not loading for me... Don't know why?
[12:13] <xethx96> gonzoism: it didnt find it
[12:13] <gonzoism> mikeo2  dmesg should talk about drivers.
[12:13] <bruenig> xethx96, what are you doing?
[12:13] <Jowi> Nafet, I suggest that you download the alternate cd image.
[12:13] <gonzoism> xethx96 what ubuntu do you have ?
[12:13] <mikeo2> ok thanks will do
[12:13] <xethx96> .10
[12:13] <xethx96> 6.10
[12:13] <raven3x7> this is driving me insane. how can a port be open iptables -L and still be closed?
[12:13] <Nafet> can you send me a link to the mirror?
[12:13] <gonzoism> mikeo2  dmesg | less will make it scroll   use the / key to search
[12:13] <bruenig> xethx96, you are installing build-essential?
[12:14] <xethx96> no
[12:14] <daedra> question answered: import screenshot.png

[12:14] <xethx96> no
[12:14] <xethx96> im trying to get my netgear card to work
[12:14] <Jowi> Nafet, you will need to select the download location yourself from here: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/GetUbuntu/download?action=show&redirect=download
[12:14] <gyaresu> AntiLaVista: Could you post it elsewhere please. I see your name on the front page but it won't load...

[12:15] <Nafet> <lowers head in a show of dismal hopes>
[12:15] <bruenig> xethx96, it needs to download build-essential and install it
[12:15] <Jowi> Nafet, if it fail maybe you should try slackware on that machine.
[12:16] <xethx96> link please
[12:16] <Nafet> slackware?
[12:16] <xethx96> i have a flash drive

[12:16] <Nafet> alright
[12:16] <bruenig> xethx96, it is going to take more than that. You will need ndiswrapper and others, I don't know all the exact packages

[12:21] <cypherdelic> nrdb: no type exit, window closes, programms open
[12:21] <Invitado53051> hello!!!
[12:21] <funpop> thanks that worked
[12:21] <gonzoism> i'm gonna go
[12:21] <VII> Ygyaresu: I dont know about x11, but I restarted the computr
[12:21] <billy> !hi | Invitado53051
[12:21] <ubotu> Invitado53051: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[12:21] <GraphicArtist> There cannot be 1029 people here can there?
[12:21] <gyaresu> giod: gyaresu.org/xorg.conf use mine as an example. Weren't you trying the howto from gentoo-wiki?
[12:22] <cypherdelic> funpop: yeah right , it should ;)
[12:22] <gonzoism> later
[12:22] <giod> gyaresu: i added these lines   Option      "TwinView"                 "true"          Option      "RenderAccel"              "true"          Option      "UseEdidFreqs"             "true"
[12:22] <GraphicArtist> Guess soo.
[12:22] <GraphicArtist> so
[12:22] <nrdb> cypherdelic: nope!  typed "kate &" then "exit" kate quit also.
[12:23] <VII> I have the windows drivers on a disk, but I guess I cant use those?
[12:23] <VII> Gyaresu: I have the windows drivers on a disk, but I guess I cant use those?
[12:23] <xethx96> ok so to install this one B-E thing i need like 4 difrent libc6 things
[12:23] <cypherdelic> nrdb: i dont know, i run "gedit &", then "exit" but gedit is open and the terminal is closed, worked too for funpop
[12:24] <VII> gyaresu: gotta restart, brb
[12:24] <billy> if firestarter is running, would it be in my "processes"?
[12:24] <gyaresu> VII: I don't believe that you did it successfully if you still boot up with the laggy screen.
[12:24] <GraphicArtist> I had an old copy of redhat that hacker/script kiddies kept breaking into, so I want to try the server version of Ubuntu. Is there a trick to get the computer to boot off the ubuntu-6.06.1-server-i386.iso file on the CD?
[12:24] <Nafet> hi again
[12:24] <Nafet> how are these downloads any different from the official CD that I already have?
[12:25] <GraphicArtist> It won't boot off the Ubutu disk like it does off the RedHat install disks.
[12:25] <Jowi> Nafet, text-mode, no fat
[12:25] <nrdb> cypherdelic: so it does, but not with kate.  ??? I wonder what different.
[12:25] <Jowi> cypherdelic, dbus example for you: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9170/
[12:25] <gyaresu> giod: It's not twin view though is it? You are trying to use two different cards? I really don't know how to do this. It's been ages since I've touched mine...
[12:26] <cypherdelic> Jowi: thanks i will have a look
[12:26] <Kemayo> Hi, I'm trying to install the libapache2-mod-python package with apt-get, but am having difficulties.  The install completes without any errors, but I don't get the relevant module files in /etc/apache2/mods-available.
[12:26] <KanRiNiN> gyaresu: I switched it to the ubuntu pastebin http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9171/.  The guide I followed is here http://blog.linuxmonitor.net/2007/03/ultimate-ubuntu-performance-tweaking.html.  The error is at the end.  Thanks.
[12:26] <nrdb> can someone please help!   I am using the update-manager to upgrade from 6.06 -> 6.10 after doing a long download the manager has displayed a terminal window with a question (about vmware) but the terminal window wont active so I can answer the question !!! :( what can I do ?
[12:26] <cypherdelic> nrdb: I have no idea, but im happy withit ;) because i thought it wouldnt work with &, too
[12:27] <mirak> still no Tracker for feisty ?
[12:27] <poningru> nrdb: there should be a gui thing for it
[12:27] <billy> in a terminal i get "Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server. Xlib: No protocol specified"  What does this mean?
[12:27] <billy> anyone ever had trouble getting firestarter to open?
[12:28] <gyaresu> KanRiNiN: Yeah I see it. You will be better off taking this to the #linux channel.
[12:28] <nrdb> cypherdelic: I use 'screen' whenever I want to do something like that, mainly when connecting via ssh to a computer.
[12:28] <GraphicArtist> Hi All, is there a user freindly install tutorial you can point me to?
[12:28] <xethx96> ok i tried installing the Buile-essential but it says the dependancy is missing...
[12:28] <KanRiNiN> thanks.
[12:28] <gesus> hey does anyone know how (i.e. program or command) i could mass rename all of my files and folders on a certain HD so that all files and folders are in lowercase?
[12:28] <raven3x7> im going insane here
[12:28] <GraphicArtist> Wouldn't that break thinks?
[12:29] <nrdb> poningru: for what ?
[12:29] <gyaresu> !repos | xethx96
[12:29] <ubotu> xethx96: 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
[12:29] <gyaresu> xethx96: I told you that you'd want to check that firs.
[12:29] <stiv2k> Help, I popped in the ubuntu-6.10-server-i386 CD into an older emachines/celeron and it wouldn't boot it just skipped over and went to windows XP
[12:29] <jimmygoon> My movies crash - I have a high res .mov file for a RoR screencast and I can't watch it unless I boot windows
[12:29] <poningru> nrdb: what you asked
[12:29] <stiv2k> i already checked the boot order in the BIOS and the ATAPI CDROM is the primary boot device
[12:29] <jimmygoon> stiv2k : do you have the boot order configured properly?
[12:30] <jimmygoon> stiv2k: temporarily disable the other stuff
[12:30] <stiv2k> jimmygoon: i already checked the boot order in the BIOS and the ATAPI CDROM is the primary boot device
[12:30] <gyaresu> stiv2k: old optical drive. you might try burning a cd at a slower speed.
[12:30] <poningru> nrdb: it should have popped open a thing in update manager
[12:30] <tobyr> Woo
[12:30] <jimmygoon> sometimes the bios gets confused as to what is the ATAPI CDROM
[12:30] <tobyr> Resized partitions for the win :D
[12:30] <xethx96> gyaresu sorry i didnt catch that, how  do i get he dependancy, i tried installing the one it asks for but i have a later version already installed
[12:30] <gesus> does anyone know how i could mass rename all of my files and folders on a certain HD so that all files and folders are in lowercase?
[12:30] <stiv2k> jimmygoon: should i try burning the CD at a lower speed
[12:30] <gyaresu> xethx96: Did you setup your repos with EasySource?
[12:30] <jimmygoon> I dunna - gyaresu thinks so... I have no reason to think one way or another ... its worth a shot.. cd's are cheap!
[12:30] <stiv2k> jimmygoon: disable what other stuff
[12:31] <stiv2k> jimmygoon: they are cheap but i have only like four left
[12:31] <xethx96> gyaresu im totaly new to linux so your speaking chinese to me XD
[12:31] <gyaresu> !repos > xethx96
[12:31] <jimmygoon> stiv2K : oh... ... heh... I meant disable all the other boot items
[12:31] <gyaresu> !EasySource > xethx96
[12:31] <Ax3> anyone ever use Miredo?
[12:31] <stiv2k> jimmygoon: i can't disable them i can only change the order in which they are booted
[12:31] <jimmygoon> gyaresu: where can I find a list of those commands you are using with whatever bot thats in here?
[12:31] <nrdb> poningru: I the terminal (inside the main window) just has a question on it "Overwrite? [yes]  " but I can't activate it to answer
[12:32] <tobyr> Does anyone know of any decent adventure games for Ubuntu?
[12:32] <tobyr> Or any games with a narrated dialogue etc?
[12:32] <billy> why won't firestarter start when I click on the icon?
[12:32] <gyaresu> ubotu: tell jimmygoon about yourself
[12:32] <jimmygoon> stiv2k: what are the other things in the list --- you can't like hit Shift+1 to disable or something like that
[12:32] <jimmygoon> thanks gyaresu
[12:32] <stiv2k> jimmygoon: CDROM, removable devices, hard drive, network boot in that order
[12:32] <absolutroot> gesus:  i am not sure how, but becareful when you do.. if you rename files and they have a symbolic link, it will not be able to find them
[12:32] <Jowi> tobyr, beneath-a-steel-sky is nice
[12:33] <Jowi> old but nice
[12:33] <tobyr> I've got that, thanks :D
[12:33] <jimmygoon> stiv2k: do you have more than one drive?
[12:33] <tobyr> I wish they would make a game like Still Life for Linux
[12:33] <stiv2k> jimmygoon: just one
[12:33] <tobyr> But that's asking too much, would cost a lot of money
[12:33] <raven3x7> ok guys ive shut down iptables and port 6891 is still closed. how is this possible? anyone know?
[12:33] <poningru> nrdb: OH
[12:33] <poningru> hmm
[12:33] <tobyr> I've got Egoboo
[12:33] <tobyr> That looks quite good
[12:33] <Giod_> is there a way i can use the ubuntu live cd to erase every thing on a driver including filesystem
[12:34] <poningru> nrdb: check the actual terminal where you called the command from
[12:34] <Giod_> lol
[12:34] <poningru> Giod_: fdisk
[12:34] <Giod_> will that erase everything
[12:34] <poningru> Giod_: keep in mind thats still not a complete 'wipe'
[12:34] <poningru> as in that just destroys the table
[12:34] <tobyr> I'm in a good mood
[12:34] <danieleboyo> im having some video card difficulty if anyone would like to help
[12:35] <tobyr> I just used a towel to fix my Xbox 360
[12:35] <geeksauce> what should i use to burn a cd or dvd (data)?
[12:35] <tobyr> ;)
[12:35] <Giod_> i just need to remove the filesystem
[12:35] <poningru> Giod_: skilled can get at it
[12:35] <poningru> people*
[12:35] <poningru> Giod_: fdisk is perfect for you then
[12:35] <gyaresu> raven3x7: How are you determining that your ports are shut down?
[12:35] <billy> Is there a Firestarter chat?
[12:35] <Giod_> kk
[12:35] <nrdb> poningru: no printing there, I tried to answer anyway but noting happened.
[12:35] <poningru> geeksauce: gnome-baker
[12:36] <poningru> nrdb: are you sure the terminal in update manager has focus
[12:36] <raven3x7> gyaresu, nmapfe and i scan 127.0.0.1 am i doing something wrong
[12:36] <geeksauce> poningru, is that installed by default or do i need to snag it from synaptic?
[12:36] <poningru> geeksauce: by default
[12:36] <jimmygoon> stiv2k: I can't think of anything else... maybe try burning at a lower speed - maybe order a disc online (free - shipit) .... I dunna
[12:36] <xethx96> gyaresu what am i suposed to do with the sourcelist?
[12:36] <jimmygoon> !tell stiv2k about shipit
[12:36] <poningru> geeksauce: you can also use the gnome partition editor
[12:36] <poningru> or whatever they call it
[12:36] <nrdb> poningru: the bar at the top of window is the 'active' color.
[12:36] <geeksauce> poningru, don't see it... is it not in the menu?
[12:36] <danieleboyo> im having some video performance issues
[12:36] <poningru> geeksauce: fdisk is command line
[12:37] <poningru> geeksauce: gparted is gui
[12:37] <stiv2k> jimmygoon: theres nothing wrong w. my CD
[12:37] <geeksauce> poningru, i meant the gnome-baker
[12:37] <jimmygoon> stiv2k: did you "verify" it off the ISO or what makes you think that?
[12:37] <poningru> geeksauce: sorry got you confuzled
[12:37] <stiv2k> jimmygoon: i booted it on my other PC
[12:37] <poningru> geeksauce: no its not installed be default
[12:37] <jimmygoon> hmm
[12:37] <poningru> do it from synaptic
[12:37] <gyaresu> raven3x7: raven3x7 What program do you have running on that port? Is there anything actually running at the moment?
[12:38] <jimmygoon> stiv2k: how old is the PC?
[12:38] <hanbush> hello, how do i play wmv and quicktime videos in the browser?
[12:38] <stiv2k> jimmygoon: celeron, initially came installed with win98
[12:39] <danieleboyo> i have a geforce 6600  GT 256 mb video card, with the nvidia drivers from the web site and simple games are really choppy..any ideas?
[12:39] <raven3x7> gyaresu, no nothing is running on that port
[12:39] <jimmygoon> stiv2k: so BIOS updates ... are non existant?
[12:39] <gyaresu> xethx96: you need to copy it to /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:39] <stiv2k> jimmygoon: i think the cdrom is broken
[12:39] <stiv2k> jimmygoon: in windows XP, it recognizes a drive D: but it thinks theres no disc in it
[12:39] <stiv2k> when there is
[12:39] <jimmygoon> stiv2k: >_< :Doh: -- I was wondering...
[12:39] <jimmygoon> heh
[12:40] <jimmygoon> go to a garage sale! I used to have 2/3 laying around here at home
[12:40] <stiv2k> jimmygoon: is that substantial evidence to consider it broken
[12:40] <gyaresu> raven3x7: And 'sudo nmap -v localhost' brings back 'Not shown: 1669 closed ports' ?
[12:40] <jimmygoon> stiv2k: .. Um... I dunna. As far as I'm concerned it is... The dilemna is ... is it worth a new CD drive... heh
[12:40] <dougie> looks like i have to copy all the disc's to a folder...lol
[12:40] <stiv2k> can i do a server install off of a floppy disk?
[12:40] <noogymmij> Does anyone know why Totem crashes (everytime) when I try to play my RoR .mov presentation?
[12:41] <jimmygoon> stiv2k: you could.... then again you could poke your eye for the next hour
[12:41] <stiv2k> jimmygoon: what's that supposed to mean
[12:41] <jimmygoon> stiv2k: honestly... if you want to install linux that bad... you can... but ubuntu doesn't have a really good alt. installation mechanism... imo
[12:41] <xethx96> -_-
[12:41] <xethx96> anyone?
[12:41] <gesus> i've found a program that mass case-converts file names, but anyone know one that will work for folders? they are nothing important, mostly folders with of music albums and photos, etc.
[12:41] <AndrewB> xethx96: what?
[12:41] <jimmygoon> stiv2k: I'm just saying that anything besides a CD.... you're treading into vastly unsupported territories
[12:42] <Jowi> stiv2k, yes it is possible. you have several ways. see here for instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[12:42] <jimmygoon> like its possible... but its not going to be fun.. I don't even know that there is a netwrok install for ubuntu
[12:42] <stiv2k> Jowi: ok
[12:42] <tekk> hi guys, whats the best way to run photoshop under ubuntu?
[12:42] <raven3x7> gyaresu, no
[12:42] <xethx96> im trying to install build-essential but the dependancy isnt there so i tried installing the dependancy but it says i have a leter version already installed
[12:42] <gyaresu> tekk: Don't.
[12:42] <jimmygoon> heh, Jowi is more helpful than I :P
[12:42] <AndrewB> xethx96: then you have it..
[12:42] <jimmygoon> tekk: Drink wine... or rather use wine to emulate photoshop
[12:42] <gyaresu> raven3x7: ...could you perhaps be more verbose?
[12:42] <billy> Figured out what was wrong with firestarter.  One of the howto's at their site did something bad.
[12:42] <tekk> wine runs it well now ?
[12:43] <xethx96> but when i try to install build-essential it asks for a dif one
[12:43] <jimmygoon> !wine | tekk
[12:43] <ubotu> tekk: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[12:43] <tekk> is it best to configure wine to use windows dll's instead of its home made stuff ?
[12:43] <DisabledBobcat> Can you use more than 2 workspaces?
[12:43] <jimmygoon> I don't know if wine runs it... but thats the only way its going to run under Linux (except for Crossover but thats for pay... or using some type of emulation ...)
[12:43] <hanbush> hey guys, what program do i need to play wmv and quicktime in firefox?
[12:43] <tekk> !Crossover | tekk
[12:43] <tekk> :p
[12:43] <raven3x7> gyaresu, sorry it says 1668 ports closed actually. would you like me to pastebin the entire output?
[12:43] <ks1> ffmpeg
[12:43] <colorred> hanbush: vlc
[12:44] <tekk> i dont mind paying to use it
[12:44] <hanbush> it works in firefox?
[12:44] <tekk> however, ive heard gimp is a good alternative
[12:44] <jimmygoon> Disabledbobcat: yes... right click the workspace applet - goto preferences and configure
[12:44] <tekk> is it as feature packed ?
[12:44] <gyaresu> raven3x7: And you've been messing with iptables right?
[12:44] <ks1> hanbush, ffmpeg
[12:44] <colorred> hanbush: i _think_ there is a mozilla plugin
[12:44] <ks1> u need the ffmpeg lib...
[12:44] <kadjo> hello all: does anyone know a software from ubuntu repository for dvd audio ripping?
[12:44] <jimmygoon> colorred: I have never gotten vlc to play in my browser... in fact I just installed totem to try to resolve that
[12:44] <silya> I need a program for recording my work on desktop
[12:44] <raven3x7> gyaresu, yes. both with firestarter and the command line
[12:44] <nrdb> poningru: I think I found out what happened it looks like the update-manager quit without closeing its window.
[12:44] <gyaresu> raven3x7: Do you need a firewall? If you've got a router then you don't...
[12:45] <gyaresu> raven3x7: Sorry. I have to ask.
[12:45] <poningru> nrdb: oh
[12:45] <poningru> !plugin | hanbush
[12:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about plugin - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:45] <poningru> !plugins | hanbush
[12:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about plugins - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:45] <colorred> is there a way to trigger a script when screen saver activates?
[12:45] <poningru> DUMB BOT
[12:46] <tekk> crossover doesnt run cs2 i thought? only upto ps7 ?
[12:46] <noogymmij> Does anyone know why Totem crashes (everytime) when I try to play my RoR .mov presentation?
[12:46] <gyaresu> !botabuse > poningru
[12:46] <gyaresu> poningru: :)
[12:46] <jimmygoon> tekk: i have no idea if it does...
[12:46] <xethx96> so is anyone gunna help?
[12:46] <Jowi> colorred, xscreensaver-command -watch
[12:46] <tekk> can anyone confirm wine working with photoshop ?
[12:46] <Jowi> colorred, no idea if it exist in gnome-screensaver though
[12:46] <puff> tekk: Ouch, that sounds scary.
[12:46] <jimmygoon> xethx96: start at the beginning what are you installing?
[12:46] <colorred> Jowi: thanks, dude. gonna take a look at that.
[12:46] <poningru> tekk: yes
[12:46] <raven3x7> gyaresu, i do have a router. i guess ill just shut it down for now
[12:47] <xethx96> my wireless pci card
[12:47] <poningru> !photoshop | tekk

[12:47] <danieleboyo> i have a geforce 6600  GT 256 mb video card, with the nvidia drivers from the web site and simple games are really choppy..any ideas?

[12:47] <cables> !ask | gelie
[12:47] <ubotu> gelie: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:47] <jimmygoon> xethx96: which is? what version, etc?
[12:47] <rjonesx> any reason why i wouldnt be able to use apt-get install cabextract?
[12:47] <gyaresu> raven3x7: Your router acts as a firewall. You'd only need a software firewall on you machine if you have issues on you LAN.
[12:47] <xethx96> netgear wg511 v2
[12:47] <Jowi> colorred, you might be able to with "gnome-screensaver-command --query"
[12:47] <rjonesx> oh yeah, i am a hopeless first timer...
[12:47] <jimmygoon> danieleboyo: install drivers
[12:48] <poningru> xethx96: whats wrong?
[12:48] <yomm_> If I set my eth0 to static ,and don't assign a gateway ,would that make my network inaccessible from everything behind my router ( which is the gateway ) ?
[12:48] <poningru> rjonesx: that should have worked whats the error it throws?
[12:48] <jimmygoon> xethx96: what ver of ubuntu?
[12:48] <xethx96> cant install build essential because i have a newer version of its dependancy
[12:48] <xethx96> 6.10
[12:48] <gyaresu> poningru: jimmygoon Please help xethx96 setup his sources first... I need caffeine.
[12:48] <gelie> does anybody know if Acer InviLink is going to work with linux?
[12:48] <jimmygoon> gyaresu: what sources does he need?
[12:48] <poningru> xethx96: what are you compiling?
[12:48] <jimmygoon> oh, h/o
[12:49] <xethx96> compelling?
[12:49] <gelie> does anybody know if Acer InviLink is going to work with linux?   --> it's a wifi "card"
[12:49] <danieleboyo> jimmygoon
[12:49] <jimmygoon> danieleboyo: yeS?
[12:49] <poningru> xethx96: hmm does your card show up in network-admin

[12:49] <gelie> nope
[12:49] <mikefoo> Anyone know free server virtualzation?  so I can split one server into several?
[12:49] <cables> !who | gelie
[12:49] <ubotu> gelie: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[12:49] <kadjo> hello all: does anyone know a software from ubuntu repository for dvd audio ripping?
[12:50] <xethx96> brb
[12:50] <jimmygoon> danieleboyo: are you sure that x.org is setup to use those drivers?
[12:50] <rjonesx> ponigru: couldn't find package cabextract
[12:50] <danieleboyo> yup
[12:50] <rjonesx> ponigru: no problem with other packages..

[12:50] <poningru> etc.
[12:50] <cables> poningru, gelie said nope. I !who'd him.
[12:50] <xethx96> i have ndiswrapper
[12:50] <rjonesx> trying to use ndiswrapper so that i can get my wlan working...
[12:50] <jimmygoon> danieleboyo: have you tried glxgears to get a FPS reading
[12:50] <poningru> oh hehe thanks
[12:50] <xethx96> iv installed it
[12:50] <jimmygoon> xethx96: does it not work or what?
[12:50] <danieleboyo> jimmygoon: no...whats that?
[12:50] <xethx96> but i have no clue how to use ot or what to do with it
[12:51] <fatlip> "Could not open /dev/sequencer"
[12:51] <danieleboyo> jimmygoon: i was playing tremulous ( i dont knwo if you knwo it...) but i was getting 48 fps...which seems pretty bad
[12:51] <poningru> xethx96: can you go to system->admin->network admin
[12:51] <poningru> do you see your wifi card there?
[12:51] <rjonesx> need cabextract to open the driers...
[12:51] <jimmygoon> danieleboyo: that does... but it could've been from like a fluke-- is that consistent?
[12:51] <poningru> rjonesx: question what kinda wlan is it?
[12:51] <xethx96> nio
[12:51] <xethx96> no
[12:51] <gelie> xethx96: do you know if Acer InviLink is going to work with linux?
[12:51] <jimmygoon> xethx96: ok. Lemme put my thinking cap on because I had to use it to use my USB card to make a digipicture frame... either way
[12:51] <danieleboyo> jimmygoon :( yup :(
[12:51] <poningru> !wifi | gelie
[12:51] <ubotu> gelie: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[12:52] <poningru> gelie: the problem is I need to find the model number inorder to research
[12:52] <ciscosurfer> Does anyone know if there's a compiz settings manager for Feisty?
[12:52] <cables> ciscosurfer, there is
[12:52] <poningru> ciscosurfer: a tiny one
[12:52] <xethx96> linux recognizes it though
[12:52] <raven3x7> gyaresu, hmm i shut down the firewall from firestarter but those ports are still closed
[12:52] <poningru> nothing like beryl's
[12:52] <poningru> xethx96: what do you mena recognizes it?
[12:52] <colorred> Jowi: found some - http://live.gnome.org/GnomeScreensaver/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#head-ac43c8f33bc700a5e298e6a82ded0e8bb9b33043
[12:52] <noogymmij> xethx96: what do you mean it recognizes it?
[12:52] <lovloss> Is there a good program for ubuntu/kubuntu that unerases files?
[12:52] <ciscosurfer> cables, poningru: where would I find it?
[12:53] <poningru> xethx96: can you do me a favor and run this on a terminal "lscpi -v | grep bcm"
[12:53] <cables> ciscosurfer, system>preferences>desktop effects
[12:53] <rjonesx> ponigru: broadcom 4311 (on a new HP laptop: came with vista. replaced it with a functioning operating system (ubuntu))
[12:53] <poningru> ...
[12:53] <cables> !wifi > gelie
[12:53] <ciscosurfer> cables, that's the manager?  I want to modify compiz plugins, etc.
[12:53] <cables> ciscosurfer, i know... it's sorta crappy
[12:53] <danieleboyo> jimmygoon: its not a fluke, and other games run pretty poorly (ie starcraft under wine doesnt even get to the main load page)
[12:53] <poningru> rjonesx: you dont have to use ndiswrapper just install firmware
[12:53] <poningru> !bcm43xx | rjonesx
[12:53] <ubotu> rjonesx: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[12:53] <poningru> GAAAH
[12:53] <ciscosurfer> cables: yeah.  I just thought I was missing something.  oh well
[12:53] <jimmygoon> danieleboyo: sorry, I've already exhausted all the troubleshooting ideas I've got for grafix cards...
[12:54] <gelie> it doesn't say if there is InviLink there
[12:54] <poningru> rjonesx: if you search in synaptic there is a bcm firmware package
[12:54] <poningru> gelie: you need the model number
[12:54] <danieleboyo> jimmygoon: hmm...any ideas who i can try?
[12:54] <poningru> go find that out
[12:54] <Jowi> colorred, using dbus. quite cool
[12:54] <xethx96> poningru, it wont work unless i take off the -v|grep stuff
[12:54] <jimmygoon> danieleboyo: poke around here for a while... ubuntuforums.org is GREAT!
[12:54] <poningru> gelie: cause companies use different chipsets for different model numbers
[12:54] <poningru> xethx96: you have to put a space there thats why
[12:54] <cables> poningru, he's a little stunned... first time on IRC.
[12:54] <jimmygoon> heh
[12:54] <xethx96> nah
[12:55] <danieleboyo> jimmygoon: hahah i guess so!
[12:55] <jimmygoon> xethx96: I've got some guides I'm looking at for prism/ndiswrapper... lemme do some looking... brb.. gotta feed dogs
[12:55] <xethx96> k
[12:55] <xethx96> what am i looking for poningru
[12:55] <xethx96> the line of code still doesnt work though
[12:56] <rjonesx> will look into synaptic though, but i dont even know what that is (noob)
[12:56] <xethx96> lspci -v|grep bcm
[12:56] <poningru> sigh
[12:56] <poningru> xethx96: you didnt put a space there dude
[12:56] <xethx96> ...
[12:56] <xethx96> where?
[12:56] <poningru> lspci -v | grep bcm
[12:56] <poningru> look at what I typed and what you typed
[12:56] <xethx96> i did that too and got nothing
[12:56] <poningru> ah ok then should have said that
[12:56] <xethx96> lspci -v | grep bcm
[12:57] <jimmygoon> :)
[12:57] <poningru> you dont have bcm
[12:57] <xethx96> bcm?
[12:57] <poningru> its a certain chipset that lots of people with wifi prob have
[12:57] <poningru> i.e rjonesx
[12:57] <xethx96> good thing i dont have it
[12:57] <rellik> Xorg uses up a huge percentage of my CPU when using my computer normally (nothing that should be terribly taxing on the computer)..  I run xinerama.. could that be the culprit?  Is there an alternative to Xorg I could try? (I don't really know what it is)
[12:57] <jimmygoon> xethx96: http://e-lehmann.de/index.php/2006/12/23/wlan-on-ubuntu-via-netgear-wg511v2/
[12:57] <poningru> actually bad thing cause it can be fixed with a firmware install
[12:57] <poningru> rjonesx: hold on
[12:58] <sethrd> Hello hello.
[12:58] <xethx96> bah
[12:58] <jimmygoon> ?
[12:58] <xethx96> thats the 20th time iv seen that
[12:58] <wolfspirit> question.. what would everyone here think about joining an annual or bi-annual linux lan party?
[12:58] <xethx96> and i still dont know how to use nds wrapper
[12:58] <radar1976> hellop
[12:58] <xethx96> nor can i find how to run it
[12:58] <poningru> rjonesx: sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-firmware
[12:59] <raven3x7> does anyone know how i stop the firewall from the comman line?
[12:59] <jimmygoon> xethx96: its one instruction after another
[12:59] <radar1976> ok question, can someone check a website for me?
[12:59] <poningru> raven3x7: what firewall?
[12:59] <poningru> iptables?
[12:59] <jimmygoon> the idea with ndiswrapper is that you give it the windows driver and it loads it at boot for you
[12:59] <jimmygoon> its not a program and there is no GUI
[12:59] <raven3x7> poningru, iptables i gues
[12:59] <xethx96> it doesnt tell me how to use or run nds wrapper -_-
[12:59] <wolfspirit> poningru: check under /etc/init.d
[12:59] <jimmygoon> radar1976: pm it to me
[12:59] <Jowi> rellik, use "htop" for a nice overview on which process it is exactly.
[01:00] <jimmygoon> xethx96: yes it does ;) Then type sudo ndiswrapper -i WG511v2.INF to install the driver.
[01:00] <poningru> wolfspirit: sorry?
[01:00] <jimmygoon> that was a quote ;)
[01:00] <ciscosurfer> cables: can you point me to an app that I can use to modify my compiz setup on Feisty?
[01:00] <poningru> raven3x7: on just do init.d iptables stop
[01:00] <poningru> raven3x7: sudo /etc/init.d/iptables stop
[01:00] <wolfspirit> raven3x7: what he just said
[01:00] <wolfspirit> lol
[01:01] <bruenig> ciscosurfer, go to #ubuntu-effects
[01:01] <raven3x7> poningru, there doesnt seem to be such an enetry
[01:01] <ciscosurfer> bruenig: I did, no one's talking :/
[01:01] <sethrd> Am I really the only person who doesn't care much about Compiz or Beryl?
[01:01] <bruenig> ciscosurfer, then go to forums or google or something
[01:01] <poningru> raven3x7: sorry you have to add couple of repositories
[01:01] <wolfspirit> radar1976: what is the website
[01:02] <megafauna> sethrd: perhaps. but then again, perhaps not.
[01:02] <gesus> hey i've moved over from windows xp to ubuntu, just trying to configure my mail client Evolution. i want to import my contacts and emails i've saved from microsoft outlook (saved as BACKUP.PST)

[01:02] <xethx96> god hates me XD
[01:02] <poningru> raven3x7: are you sure?
[01:03] <poningru> raven3x7: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[01:03] <axisys> how do i display the system time using java in one line?

[01:03] <radar1976> what is the result?
[01:03] <gyaresu> xethx96: I am back with caffeine and I will help you.
[01:03] <jimmygoon> xethx96: you have to have the driver files in the folder that you're in
[01:04] <raven3x7> hmm
[01:04] <xethx96> what folder am i in?
[01:04] <raven3x7> wolfspirit, i dont have that line
[01:04] <xethx96> lol
[01:04] <jimmygoon> gyaresu: his card works with ndiswrapper so i'm walking him through that
[01:04] <rellik> Jowi, alright, I got that htop running..  the process that is hogging all my CPU every time I do ANYTHING (type, alt-tab, etc) is /usr/X11R6/bin/W :0 -br -audit 0 -auth /var/lib/gdm:0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7
[01:04] <jimmygoon> xethx96: your home directory --- /home/xethx96/ or something like that
[01:04] <xethx96> wow i felt stupid asking that
[01:04] <gyaresu> xethx96: jimmygoon I have caffeine and ignore me. :)
[01:04] <Jowi> gesus, isn't it just to use file -> import in evolution?
[01:04] <sethrd> radar1976: It doesn't resolve.
[01:05] <jimmygoon> xethx96: its alright I do stuff all the time thinking I'm in a different folder...
[01:05] <rellik> Jowi, I don't suppose it's as easy as changing the flags X is running with?
[01:05] <radar1976> huh?
[01:05] <radar1976> www.bcwebcams.com
[01:05] <radar1976> doesn't resolve?
[01:05] <sethrd> Not on my end.
[01:05] <raven3x7> poningru, 6.10 actually
[01:05] <xethx96> wate...
[01:05] <jimmygoon> none here..
[01:05] <gesus> Jowi, no, it doesn't recognise the file. neither does thunderbird.
[01:05] <Jowi> rellik, that does not sound good. could be anything. might be drivers.
[01:05] <jimmygoon> xethx96... wait? heh
[01:05] <xethx96> yo can we talk via pm...
[01:05] <raven3x7> poningru, Amd64
[01:05] <DM|> Ok, i am trying to copy a file from a CD ( ubuntu CD) to a USB drive and no matter what i do i cannot copy it, even under sudo
[01:06] <poningru> raven3x7: ah that explains it
[01:06] <xethx96> im geting flustered by the croudedness of this place

[01:06] <rellik> Jowi, that's pretty much the worst thing I could imagine..  "could be anything" :)
[01:06] <xethx96> jimmygoon
[01:06] <jimmygoon> xethx96: I PM'ed you...
[01:07] <poningru> raven3x7: I am not 100% sure you can use the firmware
[01:07] <xethx96> let me get off this browser irc
[01:07] <Jowi> rellik, you can see if using the VESA driver and one screen also have the problem.
[01:07] <gyaresu> !tab | xethx96
[01:07] <ubotu> xethx96: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[01:07] <raven3x7> poningru, err what firmware?
[01:07] <bruenig> DM|, can you copy from the cd to the HD, and from the HD to the flash drive?
[01:07] <bryanl> wow the new ubuntu feisty herd 5 is nice.
[01:07] <bryanl> i'm impressed.
[01:07] <DM|> bruenig nope wont let me
[01:07] <gyaresu> !offtopic | bryanl
[01:07] <ubotu> bryanl: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[01:08] <bryanl> DM! boo!!!
[01:08] <bruenig> DM|, so where is the breakdown then, is it CD to HD, or HD to flash drive
[01:08] <raven3x7> poningru, i was trying to shutdown iptables
[01:08] <poningru> raven3x7: oh sorry
[01:08] <DM|> bruenig o, fixed it, thanks hehe
[01:08] <bryanl> !cromulent | everyone
[01:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cromulent - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:08] <DM|> bruenig no wait
[01:08] <bryanl> lol
[01:08] <raven3x7> poningru, :D but i dont have a iptable script. its kinda weird
[01:08] <poningru> raven3x7: do 'sudo /etc/init.d/iptables stop'
[01:08] <poningru> waah?
[01:09] <poningru> raven3x7: how did you install iptables?
[01:09] <DM|> bruenig i copied it from the CD to my HDD, but now it wont let me copy it to my USB stick
[01:09] <raven3x7> poningru, uhm i installed firestarter
[01:09] <bruenig> DM|, is your usb stick linux compatible
[01:09] <DM|> bruenig aye,
[01:09] <DM|> bruenig think the reason is that its formatted fat16?
[01:09] <Jowi> gesus, found this from Novell site. seems like you need to convert the pst. http://www.novell.com/documentation/evolution24/index.html?page=/documentation/evolution24/evolution24/data/importing-mail-and-settings.html
[01:09] <Kooka> bis dann zusammen
[01:09] <gyaresu> What's that new command to replace 'update-rc.d _blah_ remove' ?
[01:10] <bruenig> DM|, fat16 should be fine I think, have you tried to do it with cp
[01:10] <poningru> gyaresu: didnt change
[01:10] <ciscosurfer> raven3x7: firestarter is just a GUI front-end to iptables.  iptables is in ubuntu by default.
[01:10] <DM|> bruenig trying that now
[01:10] <poningru> raven3x7: do this 'ps aux | grep iptables'
[01:10] <gyaresu> poningru: Yeah someone mentioned it yesterday. New script that does better checking.
[01:10] <poningru> gyaresu: there is?
[01:10] <raven3x7> ciscosurfer, thats what i though myself. doesnt explain why i dont have a startup script though
[01:10] <Edin> ok back
[01:11] <DM|> bruenig it says omitting dir but doesnt actually copy it
[01:11] <Edin> im xethx
[01:11] <gyaresu> poningru: Yeah. That's what I said... Not even a memo.
[01:11] <ciscosurfer> raven3x7: I wasn't really following your conversation, I just noticed that last comment and thought I'd chime in :-)

[01:11] <chief> anyone know hwo to make vlc my default player for all videos?
[01:11] <raven3x7> poningru, raven     8642  0.0  0.0   3900   808 pts/0    S+   02:11   0:00 grep iptables
[01:11] <raven3x7> [2] -  Done                    sudo firestarter
[01:12] <ciscosurfer> raven3x7: kmyfirewall is a nifty app you might want to check out also
[01:12] <jimmygoon> chief: right click your video files and goto the right tab
[01:12] <jimmygoon> right-click -> properties -> etc
[01:12] <bruenig> DM|, don't know my flash drives have always worked fine, I always checked on the box to make sure it said linux compatible, I would assume that most of them are though
[01:12] <raven3x7> ciscosurfer, ill check it out.
[01:13] <ciscosurfer> raven3x7, :-D
[01:13] <gesus> Jowi, problem is i no longer have an install of windows.
[01:13] <raven3x7> poningru, so if dont need a firewall is it afe to completely remove it? i mean will anything break that you are aware of?
[01:14] <poningru> raven3x7: remove what? iptables? or firestarter?
[01:14] <jacob_> can anyone help me install darwin streaming server
[01:14] <raven3x7> poningru, iptables
[01:14] <Jowi> gesus, it say on the novell site that you can use mozilla mail (thunderbird maybe they mean) to do it.
[01:15] <geeksauce> gnome-bake keeps freezing on me... anyone know what the problem could be?
[01:15] <gesus> Jowi, but aren't they talking about a mozilla install on windows?
[01:15] <poningru> raven3x7: I wanna say it will not cause problems
[01:15] <poningru> but... not sure
[01:15] <poningru> gesus: what are you trying to do?
[01:16] <Jowi> gesus, they are, but it should not matter since they mention that you need a mail prog that uses mbox format.
[01:16] <kbrosnan> poningru: migratate a pst file on linux
[01:16] <gesus> poningru, i'm trying to import emails/contacts into evolution (or thunderbird) from a .pst file
[01:16] <poningru> oh
[01:16] <poningru> hold on
[01:16] <geeksauce> or an alternative program to burn cd's?
[01:17] <gesus> Jowi, i couldn't import the .pst file in thunderbird
[01:17] <bruenig> geeksauce, cdrecord
[01:17] <poningru> geeksauce: k3b
[01:17] <geeksauce> bruenig, data cd's?
[01:17] <bruenig> geeksauce, yeah
[01:17] <poningru> geeksauce: thats command line tool
[01:18] <poningru> you have to do it in a terminal
[01:18] <bruenig> which means fun
[01:18] <poningru> bruenig: please tell people such things
[01:18] <poningru> dont leave them hanging like that
[01:18] <bruenig> perhaps he would enjoy cdrecord
[01:18] <poningru> gesus: hmm do you have access to a windows box
[01:18] <rellik> is ubuntu set up to allow non-LAN ssh connections by default?  my hosts.* files are both empty, which I thought meant someone could connect..  but he says it's timing out..  does SSHd have its own connection privs?  all the settings are their defaults
[01:18] <Kastang> Hey, Having a small probelm. I just did a system update on Ubuntu(Just put it on my laptop), Along with the Update was a Kernel update. I also did a ATI driver update while that was in progress.. Everything seemed to go smooth, But I rebooted and It selects the new kernel at boot, and it goes to the "loading" screen.. the orange bar gets almost to the end.. then some graphical glitches come...
[01:18] <Kastang> ...up on the screen and it freezes. Im in recovery mode now, I am not sure what to do though.
[01:18] <gesus> poningru, i could probably make it happen yep
[01:19] <Flamekebab> hmm.. what's happened to Automatix/the automatix website?
[01:19] <Jowi> rellik, yes, no ports are blocked by default. if you install ssh server you will be able to connect. you must configure your router to do the port forwarding though.
[01:19] <ciscosurfer> gesus: try here > http://www.go-evolution.org/Shell or here > http://linux.uta.edu/article.php?pid=5
[01:19] <poningru> gesus: your best bet would be to use the pst file in a windows box with outlook and get thunderbird to import on the windows box and then take the mbox from thunderbird
[01:19] <LjL> !automatix | Flamekebab
[01:19] <ubotu> Flamekebab: 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
[01:19] <poningru> Flamekebab: what are you trying to install?
[01:19] <Flamekebab> LjL, that wasn't helpful..
[01:19] <Edin> jimmygoon i sent you a pm
[01:19] <Flamekebab> I'm not trying to install anything
[01:20] <rellik> Jowi, yeah I have the port forwarded.. must be user error (my friend's of course..  not mine) :)
[01:20] <Flamekebab> I know exactly what Automatix *is*
[01:20] <jacob_> chown: `qtss': invalid user
[01:20] <jacob_>  ---how do i fix that
[01:20] <omeil> have you tried booting with the old kernel?
[01:20] <gesus> poningru, cheers mate
[01:20] <LjL> Flamekebab: so you know it doesn't belong to here. ask in its channel.
[01:20] <Jowi> rellik, want me to try to see if I get a login prompt?
[01:20] <Flamekebab> LjL, so much for being kind and helpful
[01:21] <Kastang> By the way, I have tried booting with the old kernel, and the same thing happens - It seems like I messed up something with the Driver install
[01:21] <rellik> Jowi, no thanks..  I have SSH access to my text drive acct..  I dunno why I didn't think of trying it from there
[01:21] <LjL> Flamekebab: so sorry
[01:21] <Jowi> rellik, no probs.
[01:21] <Flamekebab> it's just that a friend of mine tried to download it and found the site is down, I figured here would be an excellent place to find out whether Automatix is gone now, or whether it's just having hosting issues
[01:21] <poningru> Flamekebab: when it messes up people's updates and others dont seem to care the helpers here wont be either of those
[01:21] <eilker> i had some options to unrar to unzip files, when i do right click, now i lost them, how can i get it again ?
[01:21] <ubuntu> someone help me install grub/
[01:21] <ciscosurfer> gesus: did you see my message?
[01:21] <ciscosurfer> gesus: try here > http://www.go-evolution.org/Shell or here > http://linux.uta.edu/article.php?pid=5
[01:21] <noogymmij> ubuntu: sudo apt-get install grub
[01:22] <poningru> !rar | eilker
[01:22] <ubotu> eilker: 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
[01:22] <LjL> Flamekebab: it's an excellent place to find out you don't want it installed. now, end of discussion thanks. whatever goes on to the automatix website is none of #ubuntu
[01:22] <noogymmij> what are you trying to do? (RE)Install grub?
[01:22] <LjL> 's business
[01:22] <poningru> Flamekebab: what is your friend trying to install?
[01:22] <poningru> Flamekebab: friends dont let friends use automatix
[01:22] <Flamekebab> no, but as you're so anti-Automatix I figured that if it's gone, you'd know!
[01:22] <ubuntu> noggy, yes im trying to install grub, i installed vista and overwrote grub of course
[01:22] <Flamekebab> I use Automatix, not had any problems with it
[01:22] <noogymmij> Can someone help me with Totem
[01:22] <poningru> Flamekebab: you are bordering on trolling please dont flame people
[01:23] <ubuntu> i chroot into my linux system from live cd but i cant install grub
[01:23] <poningru> noogymmij: whatsup?
[01:23] <ardchoille> LjL: Thank you
[01:23] <ubuntu> noggy, i ran grub from chroot and set root (hd0,4), thats ok
[01:23] <poningru> lol
[01:23] <gesus> ciscosurfer, reading now, cheers
[01:23] <ciscosurfer> gesus, :-d
[01:23] <ubuntu> noggy, but when i do setup (hd0) it says cannot mount selected partition
[01:23] <gesus> ciscosurfer, ty :)
[01:24] <Flamekebab> great, cheers guys, thanks for being so nice and helpful. First time anyone in the Ubuntu community has treated me like this.
[01:24] <noogymmij> poningru: Totem crashes every time I try to watch my ruby-on-rails screencast- its rather large and it crashes every time :(
[01:24] <ciscosurfer> gesus: *bows* any time
[01:24] <eilker> poningru: i have rar and unrar packages installed
[01:24] <noogymmij> I have to boot windows to watch it
[01:24] <vaalth> hey, im having some trouble burning cds with cdrecord
[01:24] <jdhoreotg> I'm running Edgy and i want to upgrade my Nvidia drivers from the 8776 driver that comes in the repos to the latest stable 9xxx series driver...i have one question about this...if it happens to cause massive issues and things, how do i revert back to the old 8776 drivers
[01:24] <jdhoreotg> ?
[01:24] <LjL> Flamekebab: do you have an Ubuntu support question? if yes, ask, if not, other topics *do not belong here period*.
[01:24] <ubuntu> noogymmij, you have time to help?
[01:24] <poningru> noogymmij: try using mplayer or vlc
[01:24] <Flamekebab> You're making it seem like I've made some sort of offensive comment against your mothers or something
[01:25] <vaalth> whenever i insert the burned cd and try to install ubuntu it gets to the loading bar and locks up giving Buffer I/O errors
[01:25] <BrokenPipe> I've gotten apt into pretty bad shape, can someone work with me on figuring out how to fix up some errors I'm seeing?
[01:25] <eilker> poningru: my problem i lost them in right click, i have rar and unrar in system already
[01:25] <jacob_> chown: `qtss': invalid user
[01:25] <jacob_>  -----help meee
[01:25] <ciscosurfer> BrokenPipe: what are the errors?
[01:25] <jimmygoon> ubuntu: sorry -- ask me here... I'm using the other window to ask for help with totem and I'm offering help here... whats wrong ubuntu?
[01:25] <poningru> eilker: hmm ic
[01:25] <vaalth> sudo cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc speed=4 isoname.iso
[01:25] <noogymmij> poningru: vlc / mplayer crashes as well
[01:26] <omeil> Kustang: try setting the xorg.conf to vesa and see if it boots. if it boots its a video problem..after that i would suggest uninstalling the drivers then reinstalling
[01:26] <codecaine> jimmygoon, i installed vista and it over wrote my grub
[01:26] <noogymmij> and I stay away from mplayer for the most part now because one of my repos has a new version of mplayer that bits my pc :(
[01:26] <BrokenPipe> ciscosurfer: when trying to "fix broken packages" I get: E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
[01:26] <vaalth> do i have to change any paramaters in order to burn ubuntu to a cd?
[01:26] <codecaine> jimmygoon, i am in my live cd now and need to reinstall
[01:26] <mad28> anyone can give me a hand?
[01:26] <mad28> i can't get ubuntu to recognize my raid0
[01:26] <mad28> so i can make it dual boot, on a third hdd
[01:26] <jimmygoon> codecaine: lemme look it up really fast
[01:26] <Math^> hello, im trying to copy from Xubuntu some files on a shared folder in WindowsXP, but how to do this?
[01:26] <jdhoreotg> ?
[01:26] <jdhoreotg> I'm running Edgy and i want to upgrade my Nvidia drivers from the 8776 driver that comes in the repos to the latest stable 9xxx series driver...i have one question about this...if it happens to cause massive issues and things, how do i revert back to the old 8776 drivers
[01:26] <jdhoreotg> ?
[01:26] <codecaine> jimmygoon, i've tried to issue grub command and get into shell to install but its not working...
[01:26] <ciscosurfer> BrokenPipe: short of giving you a slew of commands to issue in the Terminal, you might want to fire up Synaptic and try to fix issues that way
[01:26] <poningru> noogymmij: I am gonna goahead and guess its something wrong with your vid
[01:27] <BrokenPipe> ciscosurfer: that's where that message came from =)
[01:27] <vaalth> argh..
[01:27] <noogymmij> poningru: nah, it always happens with "large" videos... and it works perfectly in quicktime
[01:27] <Math^> how to connect on a shared folder from windows with samba?
[01:27] <ciscosurfer> BrokenPipe: oh.
[01:27] <poningru> wtf
[01:27] <raven3x7> poningru, hmm now  after shutting down the firwall from within firestarter and then removing firestarter sudo iptables -L gives me the folllowing error: " iptables -hICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), pid = 9364, errno = 0"
[01:27] <Flamekebab> LjL - there's three other people in the automatix channel, I wonder why I come to somewhere with people that actually know stuff? Because you guys have always been smart and helpful in the past!
[01:27] <BrokenPipe> ciscosurfer: I don't know how to troubleshoot this, but I'm comfortable with command line tinkering.
[01:27] <noogymmij> It is a very popular video-- too popular to be "messed up"
[01:27] <kid6> Can someone solve my grub ignorance.... Do I need a boot partition to install grub?
[01:28] <Jowi> kid6, you can install to MBR
[01:28] <mad28> anyone can give me a hand?
[01:28] <mad28> i can't get ubuntu to recognize my raid0
[01:28] <mad28> so i can make it dual boot, on a third hdd
[01:28] <codecaine> jimmygoon, i've tried this http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/restore-debian-linux-grub-boot-loader.html
[01:28] <ciscosurfer> BrokenPipe: okay.  let me get right back to you.
[01:28] <jimmygoon> 2. Open a terminal window or switch to a tty.
[01:28] <jimmygoon> 3. Type "grub"
[01:28] <jimmygoon> 4. Type "root (hd0,6)", or whatever your harddisk + boot partition numbers are (my /boot is at /dev/sda7, which translates to hd0,6 for grub).
[01:28] <jimmygoon> 5. Type "setup (hd0)", ot whatever your harddisk nr is.
[01:28] <jimmygoon> 6. Quit grub by typing "quit".
[01:28] <jimmygoon> 7. Reboot.
[01:28] <jimmygoon> ah... sorry :(
[01:29] <jimmygoon> codecaine: that was supposed to be in a PM to you :S
[01:29] <kid6> if windows is on my MBR... can I still use it?
[01:29] <kid6> will it overwrite it?
[01:30] <codecaine> jimmygoon, did that it tells me error 17: cannot mount selected partition after running setup
[01:30] <Jowi> kid6, grub will overwrite MBR. you will still be able to boot into windows.
[01:30] <jimmygoon> codecaine, you have to modify root (hd0,6) to your needs
[01:30] <axisys> anyone know how to find the grab and print the `date' command using java?
[01:30] <Evil_Ed> sup?
[01:30] <redblue`> hi
[01:30] <Bac9> when doing `ulimit -n 2048` I get "ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted", what can I do to change the limit?
[01:30] <NineTails> sup
[01:30] <redblue`> dunno
[01:30] <ciscosurfer> BrokenPipe: apt-get has a switch called --ignore-hold that you may find useful
[01:30] <codecaine> jimmygoon, i did
[01:30] <Evil_Ed> I'll think about it
[01:30] <jimmygoon> codecaine,  it will be different depending on which partition its on
[01:30] <NineTails> investigating
[01:30] <codecaine> jimmygoon, i used root (hd0,4)
[01:30] <jimmygoon> codecaine,  did you note that its like one less or something
[01:31] <jdhoreotg> I'm running Edgy and i want to upgrade my Nvidia drivers from the 8776 driver that comes in the repos to the latest stable 9xxx series driver...i have one question about this...if it happens to cause massive issues and things, how do i revert back to the old 8776 drivers
[01:31] <jimmygoon> so its really the 5th partition?
[01:31] <codecaine> jimmygoon, /dev/sda3            4818        4939      979965   82  Linux swap / Solaris
[01:31] <codecaine> /dev/sda4            4940        7113    17462655   83  Linux
[01:31] <jimmygoon> try (hd0,3)
[01:32] <Aruin> hello im a n00b to Linux and was wondering where i get the codexs for mp3 and dvd play back ?
[01:32] <Jowi> kid6, the only problem come if you re-install windows, since that will overwrite the MBR that grub was on with windows boot loader. then you will have to re-isntall grub again. but if you have win now, and install ubuntu, grub will see the win installation and add it to the boot menu.
[01:32] <codecaine> jimmygoon, that worked, how come, what did i miss?
[01:32] <jimmygoon> codecaine: grub is funny about partition numbering -- it starts at ZERO
[01:32] <kid6> I had ubuntu
[01:32] <kid6> then installed windows
[01:32] <codecaine> jimmygoon, ooooh :)
[01:32] <omeil> yea it would be hd0,3 since the drives start from 0
[01:32] <Jowi> kid6, (assuming win and linux are on the same disk)
[01:32] <kid6> now I am trying to get it back but I have the super grub disk
[01:32] <kid6> no live cd with me
[01:32] <jimmygoon> Aruin : check ubuntuguide.org -> search with your browser Ctrl+F
[01:32] <raven3x7> so does anyone know ho i open a port in ubuntu?
[01:33] <Jowi> !grub | kid6
[01:33] <codecaine> jimmygoon, thanks for time man, you rock
[01:33] <ubotu> kid6: 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
[01:33] <kid6> and I am trying to get it to rewite grub
[01:33] <jake_> guys when i try to play vcd on xine, audio codec needed, please help im a newbie
[01:33] <Aruin> thank you jimmygoon
[01:33] <jimmygoon> codecaine: no problem.. heh your username is funny ... my nickname is colecaine :P
[01:33] <billy> Can we Ubuntu users use most of the Firefox extensions available on their site?
[01:33] <kid6> it isn't working :\
[01:33] <codecaine> jimmygoon, haha funny :)
[01:33] <jdhoreotg> yes
[01:33] <kid6> I guess I need to reburn live cd
[01:33] <Jowi> kid6, read that link ubotu spat out. it includes the super grub disk
[01:33] <crdlb__> billy, yes
[01:33] <jimmygoon> billy: absolutely - there are only a very few specialty ones that don't work (IE Tab
[01:33] <omeil> jimmygoon: atleast its a number lol :D
[01:33] <ciscosurfer> billy: it's a matter of whether the extensions are compatible with Linux.  The answer is mostly yes
[01:33] <billy> crdlb__, jimmygoon: thank you.
[01:33] <George1> hey about installing windows i keep getting a error stop oxooooooo7b and what i would like to do is delete the partitions and start from scratch
[01:33] <jimmygoon> omeil: no kidding
[01:34] <omeil> firefox was released on linux first wasn't it?
[01:34] <xoba> dont think so
[01:34] <billy> ciscosurfer: I'm just looking for some security extensions.  For instance, JavaScript on a site-by-site basis.
[01:34] <kurt> neverwinter 2 ?
[01:34] <ciscosurfer> billy: try noscript
[01:34] <codecaine> booting into my linux, brb
[01:34] <jake_> help please
[01:34] <billy> Thanks ciscosurfer.
[01:34] <ciscosurfer> billy, :-D
[01:35] <George1> im not sure how to make a boot disk on ubuntu thou
[01:35] <xoba> is there anything similar to textmate for linux yet? if not im surprised
[01:35] <omeil> jimmygoon: would have been good if firefox was released on windows lol :) they would have to stick with old stinky explorer
[01:35] <noogymmij> George1, http://www.sysresccd.org/
[01:35] <omeil> kurt: ?
[01:35] <kurt> George1, a boot disk ?
[01:35] <kurt> why do you need to have a boot disk?
[01:35] <kurt> i figured just boot from the install/live cd ?
[01:36] <jimmygoon> xoba, jedit is better
[01:36] <danmorg> any suggestions where to buy a computer that will work with ubuntu good?   you can /msg me the reply if you want to.   my emachines does not work well, so i've decided to buy another computer.
[01:36] <jimmygoon> George1, download the iso - rightclick and burn to disc
[01:36] <ubuntuman> scan hasn't worked since edgy, and it still does not in HURD5..is there a workaround for this ? ( I have HP officejet 5510 all -in-one )
[01:36] <omeil> !port | raven3x7
[01:36] <ubotu> raven3x7: For instructions on how to set up port-forwarding (for games, torrents, webservers) see http://portforward.com - also see !firewall
[01:36] <jimmygoon> George1, then you boot off of it and that sysresccd has about every utility you'll ever ever ever need
[01:36] <George1> yeah
[01:36] <billy> Are /tmp files deleted after reboot?
[01:37] <George1> thank you
[01:37] <kurt> cool jimmygoon
[01:37] <eilker> for newbies, free e-book http://ebookspyder.net/index.php/2007/03/03/ubuntu-linux-bible.html
[01:37] <jimmygoon> danmorg: anything but emachines :D
[01:37] <kurt> i had to do an alternate install for my laptop
[01:37] <Vaalth> is it possibly to upgrade from hoary to the latest version without burning a new install disk to cd?
[01:37] <jimmygoon> kurt: the sysresccd isn't a live disc... its a utility disc that has GUI apps but have to be launched via command lie
[01:37] <jimmygoon> line*
[01:37] <eilker> vaalth: they dont suggest it
[01:37] <kurt> i  like that jimmy
[01:37] <danmorg> jimmygoone: hhahaha.  yep.  it randomly shuts down.  i'm looking into dell, but i'm not sure what is a good choice
[01:37] <eilker> vaalth: they suggest one by one
[01:38] <jimmygoon> Vaalth: Alllll the way from hoary to edgy? :EEEK:
[01:38] <kurt> i was lookiong for that the other day
[01:38] <codecaine> jimmygoon, im on my system.  thanks again :)
[01:38] <kurt> i went from breezy (i think) 5.10 to 6.06
[01:38] <jimmygoon> Vaalth: you can... make sure package - ubuntu-desktop is installed - then update your sources.list file to include "edgy" instead of "hoary" then do a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[01:38] <jimmygoon> codecaine: awesome
[01:38] <SunRayCafe> question on install: downloaded live disc, burned image, am running on machine. System doesn't seem to be able to handle install that way, it keeps hanging when I get to the formatting portion. Want to install via command line, but can't find information. Anyone have a link for command line installation help?
[01:38] <jimmygoon> !tell Vaalth about upgrading
[01:39] <lopelis`> whats the codecks do i need under default ubuntu install to paly avi mp3?
[01:39] <crdlb> SunRayCafe, you need the alternate cd
[01:39] <omeil> Does neverwinter nights 2 have a linux installer yet?
[01:39] <SunRayCafe> crdlb: available from ubuntu.com?
[01:39] <kurt> SunRayCafe,  download the alternate install cd
[01:39] <crdlb> SunRayCafe, yes
[01:39] <kurt> crdlb, not that i know of
[01:39] <jimmygoon> lopelis`, goto http://ubuntuguide.org and search in your browser (CTRL+F) to find it... it will include every codec you can imagine
[01:40] <kurt> crdlb,  how far you get so far?
[01:40] <lopelis`> jimmygoon, thanks
[01:40] <jimmygoon> .... Whoa... the alt cd is offical
[01:40] <jimmygoon> and definetly on the ubuntu.com website!!!
[01:40] <SunRayCafe> aaah, I don't have enough ram. Thanks guys, that should do it
[01:40] <needtoknow> How do I change the size of my partitions? Ubuntu wont let me login as root!!!
[01:40] <raven3x7> omeil, i though they werent going to make one?
[01:41] <crdlb> SunRayCafe, how much do you have?
[01:41] <SunRayCafe> guessing 128
[01:41] <jimmygoon> heh, you don
[01:41] <SunRayCafe> don't know off hand... can reboot and find out :)
[01:41] <jimmygoon> 't know?
[01:41] <SunRayCafe> it's not my primary machine
[01:41] <SunRayCafe> sandbox
[01:41] <crdlb> SunRayCafe, try xubuntu, but the livecd requires much more ram than the actual install
[01:41] <jimmygoon> that and/or try a memcheck
[01:41] <kurt> i hope they release one
[01:41] <jimmygoon> or DamnSmallLinux - it rocks!
[01:41] <kurt> then i dont have to boot windows
[01:41] <kurt> actually a question
[01:42] <needtoknow> How do I change the size of my partitions? Ubuntu wont let me login as root!!!
[01:42] <kurt> how do i install the nvidia drivers
[01:42] <needtoknow> ^^^ easy ubuntu
[01:42] <kurt> it keeps saying that its found an x session running
[01:42] <danmorg> jimmygoon: where did you buy your computer?
[01:42] <GionnyBoss> If I want to set Nautilus to open a certain type of file with another application, I can't do it. I see other applications but if I click on it I can't select them. I have this problem only on my laptop, other computers using ubuntu doesn't have this problem. Can anybody help me, please? I'm on Ubuntu Edgy, using GNOME, obviously
[01:42] <bronze_0_1> wow. scary.
[01:42] <harman> needtoknow, use sudo
[01:42] <SunRayCafe> hmmm... memtest says I have 192. Will try the alternate anyway, since this isn't working
[01:42] <omeil> raven3x7: try !firewall it should tell you everything about ubuntu firewall
[01:42] <crdlb> SunRayCafe, 192 is enough for ubuntu (but not the livecd)
[01:42] <kurt> how do i boot to command line not to gui / x
[01:43] <kurt> ?
[01:43] <lopelis`> one more: how to get kismet with intel ipw2200 card wirking monitore mode
[01:43] <jimmygoon> danmorg: I bought this piece of ... hardware about 2-3 years ago at Office Depot... it's held up well and I got a a free warranty extenstion (totally like 3 years) because Toshiba had a class action lawsuit
[01:43] <jimmygoon> lopelis`, how far are you with kismet?
[01:43] <kurt> toshiba's last forever
[01:43] <kurt> i have 2 left from 2001
[01:43] <lopelis`> jimmygoon: i'm noob
[01:43] <needtoknow> Not nice^^^
[01:43] <lopelis`> does intell support kismet
[01:43] <kurt> the third i had got dropped, smashed actually
[01:44] <kid6> so if my MBR is windows version I just tell grub to over write it?
[01:44] <nalioth> kid6: Windows doesn't use an MBR
[01:44] <jimmygoon> lopelis`, heh, okay. well you need to configure your /etc/kismet/kismet.conf file (specifically the line with source="" to work with your card
[01:44] <jimmygoon> nalioth: yes it does... it overwrites it so that it loads up XP/Vista/NTLDR
[01:44] <crdlb> kid6, grub will add windows to itself, so basically yes
[01:44] <ardchoille> !sudo | needtoknow
[01:44] <ubotu> needtoknow: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[01:44] <lopelis`> jimmygoon: any forum forum page for that :)
[01:45] <kid6> The instructions for "Using the Desktop/LiveCD and Overwriting the Windows bootloader" say to use the boot partition... but I don't have one
[01:45] <ciscosurfer> With TabMixPlus, is there a way to get the drop-down menu that appears on the far right to appear again, when multiple tabs are open?
[01:45] <jimmygoon> lopelis`, I really dunna
[01:45] <billy> ciscosurfer: any other recommended add-ons? :)
[01:45] <ardchoille> needtoknow: You can install gparted and use that to resize partitions
[01:45] <needtoknow> Thanks
[01:45] <kid6> sorry I am prolly sounding like an idiot... I just have no experince
[01:45] <nalioth> jimmygoon: we're getting into ##windows territory
[01:45] <jimmygoon> kid6 : are you tring to repair grub by reinstalling?
[01:45] <kid6> yes
[01:45] <lopelis`> jimmygoon : ok, thanks
[01:45] <ciscosurfer> billy: I use a few...what are you looking for?
[01:45] <jimmygoon> nalioth, heh :D
[01:45] <omeil> kurt: have you rebooted yet?
[01:45] <jimmygoon> because I just helped someone do that about 5-10 minutes ago
[01:45] <jimmygoon> lemme scroll up and paste it to you
[01:45] <kid6> ok
[01:45] <raven3x7> omeil, i was talking about Neverwinter Nights 2
[01:45] <kid6> let me scroll up
[01:46] <kid6> it was when you meant to pm?
[01:46] <billy> ciscosurfer:  basic security type things.  or anything that you yourself find interesting. :)
[01:46] <jimmygoon> yes kid6 :P
[01:46] <jimmygoon> did you try it?
[01:46] <TravisivarT> i'm trying to set up dual head with nvidia and twinview, but the screens are backwards (ie the right one shows the left screen)  here's my xorg.conf http://rafb.net/p/Spjp0U39.html
[01:46] <jimmygoon> billy: I use the webdeveloper plugin (wonder why) and I use the del.icio.us plugin
[01:46] <NewbieUser00001> !ntfs-3g
[01:46] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution. Installation instructions at http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710 (Dapper) and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009/ (Edgy)
[01:47] <crdlb> TravisivarT, why not rearrange the monitors?
[01:47] <kid6> wtf... fdisk -l is showing me only HPFS/NTFS partitons
[01:47] <jimmygoon> I don't think that ntfs-3g is beta anymore is it?
[01:47] <TravisivarT> it's a dual boot with windows and the windows monitors are oriented correctly
[01:47] <jimmygoon> kid6: run it with sudo
[01:47] <Jowi> TravisivarT, in the section serverlayout set screen 0 and screen 1 and vice versa maybe...?
[01:48] <kid6> hrmm smae
[01:48] <raven3x7> jimmygoon, i think it isnt on 2.6.20 kernels
[01:48] <kid6> same
[01:48] <Anohaakten> hey can i get some help with installing beryl on ubuntu?
[01:48] <jimmygoon> raven3x7, ok
[01:48] <Anohaakten> like...how do I find it in synaptic
[01:48] <ciscosurfer> billy: I don't use it anymore, but Adblock Plus is a good one....I also really like Bookmark Duplicate Detector, CustomizeGoogle, GoolgePreview, UbuntuForumsMenu, and some others
[01:48] <kid6> does that mean somehow I deleted my linux partition?
[01:48] <Limecat|SLEEP> anohaakten--are you semi comfortable with commandline?
[01:48] <omeil> raven3x7: oh :) haven't got that yet. u need to forward ports for it?
[01:48] <jimmygoon> Anohaakten, you have to enable the repositories
[01:48] <Anohaakten> oryeah
[01:48] <Jowi> TravisivarT, typos. I meant, set screen 0 to screen 1 and vice versa
[01:48] <Anohaakten> ok
[01:48] <Limecat|SLEEP> one sec
[01:49] <Limecat|SLEEP> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=263851
[01:49] <jimmygoon> !tell Anohaakten about repositories
[01:49] <billy> ciscosurfer:  thanks.  I'll check those out.  :))
[01:49] <TravisivarT> Jowi i'll try it thanks
[01:49] <Limecat|SLEEP> u have a question regarding file icons
[01:49] <Limecat|SLEEP> i*
[01:49] <raven3x7> raven3x7, :D robably but what i meant was that i heard they werent goint to make a linux client
[01:49] <Limecat|SLEEP> namely, how do i change them
[01:49] <kid6> f it.. just going to reinstall ubuntu :)
[01:49] <Limecat|SLEEP> where does the icon come from
[01:49] <ciscosurfer> billy: sure!
[01:49] <crdlb> Limecat|SLEEP, change the icon theme
[01:49] <raven3x7> jimmygoon, don take my word for it though
[01:49] <Jowi> TravisivarT, or do it in section device for the card(s)
[01:49] <yomm_> e home samba/file/
[01:50] <jimmygoon> Anohaakten, are you ok with beryl-svn? Its more bleeding edge - more features, less stable
[01:50] <jimmygoon> raven3x7, its okay, I'm not too stressed about it ;)
[01:50] <crdlb> Limecat|SLEEP, icon themes are stored in /usr/share/icons/THEME/
[01:50] <yomm_> Would encrypting my root file system be a wise decision for my humble home samba/file/streaming server ?
[01:50] <raven3x7> jimmygoon,, :D robably but what i meant was that i heard they werent goint to make a linux client
[01:50] <jimmygoon> what do you mean a linux client?
[01:50] <crdlb> yomm_, I wouldn't
[01:50] <raven3x7> lol im talkin to myself on irc
[01:50] <jimmygoon> isn't ntfs-3g ... for linux.....
[01:51] <kurt> jimmygoon, i think its considered to be stable ... mostly
[01:51] <crdlb> yomm_, unless you're worried about someone breaking into your house for your data
[01:51] <jimmygoon> kurt: not the SVN releases...
[01:51] <jimmygoon> not AS stable as the regular beryl releases
[01:51] <yomm_> crdlb : why not , for performance reasons ? from what i've Read it does add a lot of security to your system
[01:51] <jimmygoon> Anohaak
[01:51] <kurt> raven3x7, you mean linux client for nwn2 right?
[01:51] <jimmygoon> Anohaakten, what graphics card do you have?
[01:51] <eilker> !x11vnc
[01:51] <ubotu> x11vnc: VNC server which uses your current X11 session. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.2-1 (edgy), package size 438 kB, installed size 1104 kB
[01:51] <raven3x7> err jimmygoon that was meant at someone else
[01:52] <Limecat|SLEEP> oops
[01:52] <raven3x7> kurt yeah
[01:52] <jimmygoon> raven3x7, heh, my bad :P
[01:52] <kurt> jimmygoon, i saw some atricle saying how to write to ntfs and it seemed pretty sure about it
[01:52] <yomm_> crdlb : well ,the server is online 24/7 ..
[01:52] <cantervil> hello, someone can helpme with apollon???
[01:52] <raven3x7> jimmygoon, no mine actually. i need sleep
[01:52] <crdlb> yomm_, the idea just scares me, make sure that whatever method you pursue keeps the blocks independent
[01:52] <kurt> i wish they would raven3x7  but i saw where they didnt intend to
[01:52] <jimmygoon> eilker: you can just enable remote desktop with gnome too.... System->Preferences-> remote desktop
[01:52] <kurt> raven3x7,  but will securerom work under linux
[01:52] <raven3x7> omeil, , :D robably but what i meant was that i heard they werent goint to make a linux client
[01:52] <FLSimpsonKPT> is there a way to burn a dvd iso with ubuntu?
[01:53] <jimmygoon> kurt: oh sorry, I'm getting mixed between a convo about beryl(-svn) and ntfs-3g we were referring to diff things
[01:53] <yomm_> crldb : i'll do a ffull disk clone just to be sure :)
[01:53] <eilker> jimmygoon> kde here :)

[01:53] <Anohaakten> uhm
[01:54] <jimmygoon> kurt, something to do with a single option you append to the kernel line with grub?
[01:54] <Anohaakten> deb http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org edgy main
[01:54] <Anohaakten> that one
[01:54] <kurt> i loved nwn  so i had to buy nwn2
[01:54] <jimmygoon> Anohaakten, lemme find the key for you
[01:54] <Anohaakten> ok
[01:54] <kurt> even bought a video card to play it to replace my three year old
[01:54] <raven3x7> Anohaakten, if your following the wiki article those addresses for the gpg keys are outdated
[01:54] <Anohaakten> yeah ok, just pm me, and tell me where I put the key
[01:54] <LordLimecat> crdlb--im actually trying to find out where this "world of warcraft.lnk" is getting its icon
[01:54] <Anohaakten> how do oyu enter a key?
[01:55] <FLSimpsonKPT> is it possible to burn an iso image onto a dvd or cd with ubuntu? if so how?
[01:55] <LordLimecat> is linux grabbing an icon from a windows exe? *confused*
[01:55] <raven3x7> kurt ouch
[01:55] <kurt> FLSimpsonKPT, of course it is
[01:55] <Beverage> Im trying to install  a DC++ hub on my linux server for an upcomming LAN party I was wondering how i start the server after I install it
[01:55] <Bac9> when doing `ulimit -n 2048` I get "ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted", what can I do to change the limit?
[01:55] <LordLimecat> or is wow supplying the icon somewhere
[01:55] <eilker> anyone makes with me remote desktop connection ? i wonder it...
[01:55] <LordLimecat> er, wine
[01:55] <FLSimpsonKPT> kurt, i suppose I don't have the proper package :P
[01:55] <jimmygoon> Anohaakten, the stuff I just sent you might be wrong though based off what raven3x7 just said... :S
[01:55] <LordLimecat> eilker--you want me to test your remote desktop?
[01:55] <kurt> you should FLSimpsonKPT  if you did a default install
[01:56] <jimmygoon> Anohaakten, raven3x7 I'm not as familiar with beryl-official... I'm a beryl-svn kinda guy
[01:56] <kurt> msut be there somewhere
[01:56] <Anohaakten> hmm
[01:56] <FLSimpsonKPT> kurt, what's the name of the program?
[01:56] <jimmygoon> FLSimpsonKPT, Right click-> burn to disc
[01:56] <Anohaakten> can someone help me on installing beryl then?
[01:56] <kurt> FLSimpsonKPT, under places you should see CD/DVD Creator
[01:56] <jimmygoon> Anohaakten,  like I said, its not fatal... it will continue with out it
[01:56] <Grenade> hey does anyone else have AD1986A for their sound??????
[01:56] <kurt> I think I used that
[01:56] <crdlb> LordLimecat, have you tried opening the icon in gedit?
[01:56] <ClarKent> Could not render default GStreamer audio output sink
[01:56] <LordLimecat> ill try that
[01:56] <jimmygoon> FLSimpsonKPT, Right click-> burn to disc!
[01:56] <ClarKent> i get that error when I run muine
[01:56] <FLSimpsonKPT> lol thanks jimmygoon and kurt I feel like an idiot now XD
[01:56] <jimmygoon> its okay :P
[01:56] <crdlb> LordLimecat, it may be a .desktop file generated by wine
[01:57] <jimmygoon> Anohaakten, I was asking before--- Do you want a more stable version or one with more features?
[01:57] <needtoknow> How would I make myself root using sudo?
[01:57] <LordLimecat> but the actual icon must exist somewhere on my comp
[01:57] <kurt> FLSimpsonKPT,  I feel like an idiot a hundred times a day.. no biggie
[01:57] <jessd> needtoknow sudo su -
[01:57] <crdlb> needtoknow, sudo -i
[01:57] <eilker> LordLimecat: yes pls,  i wanna see how i can control your desktop, if u want, u do it too
[01:57] <raven3x7> jimmygoon, i meant the links to the gpg server. if you got the key its fine
[01:57] <jimmygoon> Anohaakten,  more importantly ... waht graphics card do you have
[01:57] <jimmygoon> raven3x7, oh... ok
[01:57] <raven3x7> jimmygoon, the wiki is fine otherwise

[01:58] <jimmygoon> FLSimpsonKPT, its okay :P We won't hate you
[01:58] <kurt> I want to try that Brazilian Dreamlinux
[01:58] <Anohaakten> im fine
[01:58] <Anohaakten> I checked
[01:58] <Anohaakten> and mine is fine
[01:58] <[GneSH0r] > can i get help with samba?
[01:58] <kurt> I used to be a suse fan but 10.1 broke me
[01:58] <Grenade> i am having troubles installin the alsa sound for AD1986A
[01:58] <jimmygoon> Anohaakten, just tell me :P I need to know whether you need AIGLX or XGL
[01:58] <Anohaakten> my graphics card supports graphic rendering
[01:58] <jimmygoon> Is it ATI or NVIDIA or INTEL?
[01:58] <Anohaakten> and thats it
[01:58] <crdlb> [GneSH0r] , depends on how complex your question is :)
[01:58] <Anohaakten> I checked
[01:58] <FLSimpsonKPT> jimmygoon, good. Its supposed to have native beryl support and I am really confused on trying to make it work with 6.06
[01:58] <Anohaakten> intel
[01:58] <Anohaakten> 855gm
[01:58] <jimmygoon> ok- good!
[01:59] <jimmygoon> just like me!!
[01:59] <Anohaakten> alright
[01:59] <jessd> Anohaakten: What samba help are you looking for?
[01:59] <LordLimecat> eilker: open applications-->internet-->terminal services client
[01:59] <needtoknow> How would I run QTparted( a system tool) with sudo?
[01:59] <LordLimecat> host: limecat.homelinux.com
[01:59] <FLSimpsonKPT> jimmygoon, I should of gotten the newest version of ubuntu instead *slaps Head*
[01:59] <LordLimecat> no username, no pass
[01:59] <LordLimecat> no control is granted either
[01:59] <SunRayCafe> [GneSH0r]  is looking for samba help
[01:59] <jimmygoon> FLSimpsonKPT, Anohaakten you are both trying to work with beryl and stuff so you may both benefit from this bit here ---
[01:59] <[GneSH0r] > basically im new to linux
[01:59] <jessd> SunrayCafe: TY
[01:59] <[GneSH0r] > im using ubuntu 6.10
[01:59] <Anohaakten> jimmygoon whatcha got bud?
[01:59] <Anohaakten> cna ya help me?
[01:59] <eilker> LordLimecat: i am kubuntu user
[01:59] <Zambezi> Isn't Edgy Eft server-CD bootable?
[02:00] <[GneSH0r] > and i wanna get files off my windows xp computer
[02:00] <jessd> [GneSH0r] : What are you lookin for for Samba?
[02:00] <needtoknow> Yah it is
[02:00] <kurt> I need to get Nvidia driver installed to run Beryl?
[02:00] <LordLimecat> in terminal: vncviewer limecat.homelinux.com:0
[02:00] <needtoknow> How would I run QTparted( a system tool) with sudo?
[02:00] <[GneSH0r] > and somone said in beryl to ask in here for samba
[02:00] <jimmygoon> Two things: one if you want to install beryl-stable then you should add the repository that you found on the wiki, then you should do "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install beryl beryl-plugins emerald"
[02:00] <Grenade> Need Help: i am having troubles installin the alsa sound for AD1986A
[02:00] <kurt> waht you need about samba ?
[02:00] <needtoknow> How would I run QTparted( a system tool) with sudo?
[02:01] <jessd> [GneSH0r] : You can do it two ways
[02:01] <crdlb> [GneSH0r] , do you see the windows computer if you open: Places->Network->windows network ?
[02:01] <jimmygoon> If you want to run beryl-svn like I am, then you add the trevino beryl-syn repository (google) and his GPG key and then you do the same "sudo apt-get " bit
[02:01] <Anohaakten> jimmygoon, can you pm me with the exact repository line on wiki?
[02:01] <jessd> You can set a samba share and use the XP machine to push to Linux
[02:01] <Anohaakten> just to be sure im doing things correctly
[02:01] <jimmygoon> anohaakten, do you want beryl-svn or beryl-stable?
[02:01] <Anohaakten> does not matter
[02:01] <Anohaakten> I want it to run
[02:01] <Anohaakten> first
[02:01] <Anohaakten> then later upgrade
[02:01] <jessd> [GneSH0r] : Or you can use smbmount to mount the windows share and copy to linux from linux
[02:01] <Anohaakten> if I cna do that
[02:01] <FLSimpsonKPT> jimmygoon, what is a good version of ubuntu that runs with beryl? Stable of course
[02:02] <Anohaakten> 6.10 simpson
[02:02] <crdlb> FLSimpsonKPT, edgy
[02:02] <Beverage> How do i check to see if a program that runs in the background is running or not?
[02:02] <Anohaakten> the newest one...
[02:02] <needtoknow> How would I run QTparted( a system tool) as root?
[02:02] <jessd> [GneSH0r] : Setting a samba share in Ubuntu is prolly easier
[02:02] <eilker> LordLimecat: i am downloading vncviewer
[02:02] <kenv> Hello.  I am new to this OS and have been trying to work with it for a little while.  Could someone point me in the right direction to move files from one Ubuntu system to another?
[02:02] <FLSimpsonKPT> thanks crdlb
[02:02] <jimmygoon> FLSimpsonKPT, I alwys run the latest ubuntu - not feisty sinces it not released yet but otherwise...
[02:02] <jimmygoon> 6.10/edgy

[02:02] <Anohaakten> jimmy goon
[02:02] <kurt> i'm running feisty
[02:02] <kurt> seems to be pretty good
[02:02] <jessd> [GneSH0r] : Try System > Preferences > Shared folders
[02:02] <Anohaakten> can you pm me with what the repos is
[02:02] <needtoknow> To move files try using "wine"
[02:02] <jimmygoon> Anohaakten, yeah, sorry I'm trying to tripletask :P
[02:03] <likwidtek> hey guys.. I have an NVIDIA 7950 GX2 and I want to install Beryl.. Where do you suggest I start?
[02:03] <likwidtek> XGL or AIXGL
[02:03] <jessd> needtoknow: Tried gksu QTparted ?
[02:03] <Anohaakten> alright
[02:03] <needtoknow> How would I run QTparted( a system tool) with root priv.. ?  I tryed sudo but it's noy working
[02:03] <Beverage> i installed a program that runs in the background (daemon) but i dont know if its running
[02:03] <jimmygoon> Anohaakten,  you know where to add that line and everything right?
[02:04] <[GneSH0r] > yeh i can see it
[02:04] <[GneSH0r] > on the list
[02:04] <jimmygoon> needtoknow, what do you mean its not working
[02:04] <rbil> likwidtek: if you're running edgy, AIGLX is already installed
[02:04] <crdlb> likwidtek, AIGLX if you're willing to install the 9xxx version driver
[02:04] <jimmygoon> its not the right program name or what/
[02:04] <needtoknow> I dont know how to install the gksu gparted
[02:04] <kenv> I do not have shared folders in system and preferneces.  Is there a site  I could read up on this?
[02:04] <Anohaakten> yes
[02:04] <Anohaakten> irght in synaptic
[02:04] <Anohaakten> under repos
[02:04] <jessd> [GneSH0r] : sudo apt-get install gksu
[02:04] <Anohaakten> and then custom
[02:04] <[GneSH0r] > ok
[02:04] <kurt> sigh wine updated to 9.3.2
[02:04] <kurt> still wont run peachtree
[02:04] <LordLimecat> eilker: you see it?
[02:04] <jimmygoon> what is peachtree?
[02:04] <needtoknow> Now none of my programs start since I started taking sudo commands from you guys
[02:05] <kurt> time to boot to the old gaming os
[02:05] <jimmygoon> Anohaakten, thats fine ... I always do it by hand but its the same thing
[02:05] <eilker> LordLimecat: i cant
[02:05] <Anohaakten> ok
[02:05] <[GneSH0r] > its already the newest version
[02:05] <[GneSH0r] > jessd
[02:05] <kurt> thanks all for the chat and some advice too
[02:05] <jessd> needtoknow: Try this : export DISPLAY=:0.0
[02:05] <eilker> LordLimecat: trying to install some packages
[02:05] <LordLimecat> try now'
[02:05] <Anohaakten> so what exactly is the repos that I need to type in
[02:05] <jimmygoon> Anohaakten, so now you can just do an "update" in synaptic and then search for beryl... and you should find it!!
[02:05] <needtoknow> EXCEPT QTparted wich keeps telling me I dont have priv... to run it
[02:05] <LordLimecat> i saw your request
[02:05] <LordLimecat> try again
[02:05] <jimmygoon> Anohaakten, I PM'ed them to you :D
[02:05] <Anohaakten> i never added any repos.. though
[02:05] <Anohaakten> I didnt get it...
[02:05] <Anohaakten> I have on pm's
[02:05] <jimmygoon> lemme just paste it here
[02:05] <Anohaakten> k
[02:05] <jimmygoon> deb http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org/ edgy main
[02:05] <needtoknow> jessd told me to run the command " export DISPLAY=:0.0" Is that safe?
[02:06] <jimmygoon> deb-src http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org edgy main
[02:06] <jimmygoon> add both of them
[02:06] <billy> I'm on the phone with my ISP.  They don't know how to release the IP address for a Linux system.  Any help?
[02:06] <[GneSH0r] > how do you look at the cube display
[02:06] <[GneSH0r] > when youve installed beryl?
[02:06] <eilker> LordLimecat: black screen comes and goes
[02:06] <needtoknow>  export DISPLAY=:0.0 <-- Is that safe I may be a noob but I think this is bad.///
[02:06] <chavo> needtoknow, he's trying to hax0r you
[02:06] <needtoknow> Not hack
[02:06] <needtoknow> I think he is trying to mess up my diplay
[02:07] <FLSimpsonKPT> jimmygoon, I will try ubuntu again after i mess with other distro for a bit :D
[02:07] <jvai> billy, tell them to do it as if it was a mac
[02:07] <bimberi> [GneSH0r] : hold down ctrl-alt and move the mouse
[02:07] <[GneSH0r] > thanks
[02:07] <jimmygoon> FLSimpsonKPT, heh, I do the same things
[02:07] <chavo> needtoknow, export sets environment variables
[02:07] <JasonDM> ok, so I have a second monitor, but I don't know how to get it to work
[02:07] <Karark|away> can someone tell me the program KDE uses to set default program prefs?
[02:07] <eilker> LordLimecat: sudo svncviewer "and the adress that u have gave me"
[02:07] <Karark|away> i don't want to leave Gnome to change a setting
[02:07] <[GneSH0r] > brilliant..
[02:07] <jessd> needtoknow: If you did a su to root and took root's environment, you may have lost the environment variable that tells the system where X is
[02:07] <billy> jvai: OK.  I'll try that.
[02:07] <[GneSH0r] > how do you change the background?
[02:07] <JasonDM> also, beryl doesn't want to run, at all...
[02:07] <chavo> Karark|away, you have kubuntu-desktop installed?
[02:07] <FLSimpsonKPT> jimmygoon, its hard not to isnt it? :D
[02:07] <Anohaakten> ok
[02:07] <billy> jvai: thanks for the response, also.
[02:07] <jvai> yes billy, it's kinda the same thing....
[02:07] <Anohaakten> added jimmygoon
[02:07] <Karark|away> chavo, yes
[02:08] <jvai> np @billy

[02:08] <Karark|away> chavo, i want my Boinc Manager to stop opening konqueror every time i click a button in there
[02:08] <cyphase> Is it possible to tell an SSH connection to keep-alive from the client side?
[02:08] <jessd> needtoknow: that command sets the environment value back, so when root tries to run a command that needs a GUI, the system knows where that is
[02:08] <Anohaakten> do you mean reload?
[02:08] <bimberi> [GneSH0r] : that (change the background) I don't know
[02:08] <needtoknow>  export DISPLAY=:0.0  ,  so export is a variable but then it says display so it move's my screen.... to o.o the first pixal
[02:08] <Karark|away> chavo, thanks
[02:09] <Anohaakten> jimmygoon, do you mean "reload"
[02:09] <jessd> needtoknow: No
[02:09] <Anohaakten> is that the same as refresh
[02:09] <chavo> needtoknow, DISPLAY is the variable
[02:09] <jimmygoon> Anohaakten, sure... I don't have it open here P
[02:09] <jimmygoon> :P

[02:12] <ericmoritz\0> I'm looking at the slick Motorola Q, I was wondering how well Ubuntu (or linux in general) syncing with Windows Mobile is
[02:13] <c0nv1ct> needtoknow: tried sudo?
[02:13] <GoldeNArX> sup guys. got me intel 3945abg working (finally).  now I try to get automatix installed and the web site is down... anyone know of an alternate method?
[02:13] <billy> jvai: hey.  we aren't able to do it like a mac.  any other ideas?
[02:13] <FLSimpsonKPT> well im gonna try the new os bbl
[02:13] <jimmygoon> needtoknow: that command "EXPORT" was safe
[02:13] <ericmoritz\0> I have a Treo and syncing with a palm is flawless, somehow I doubt windows mobile is as easy
[02:13] <jvai> billy is it broadband, or dial up?
[02:14] <billy> jvai: broadband.
[02:14] <LjL> GoldeNArX: yes - doing whatever you intended to do with Automatix using sane means instead
[02:14] <rbil> needtoknow EXPORTED himself out of the channel
[02:14] <jvai> biully it should be as easy as them configuring the modem on their end, that's all
[02:15] <GoldeNArX> LjL : lol... sane methods? automatix kinda automates the whole thing .. no?
[02:15] <BrokenPipe> wtf is wrong with pastebin.com? what's another scratchpad site?

[02:25] <Anohaakten> jimmygoon, what is your s/n?
[02:25] <LordLimecat> a LOT of the time, you can release it by unplugging yer modem for 10-20 secs
[02:25] <bruenig> SARA, you can drag and drop from nautilus
[02:25] <SARA> i dont know...
[02:26] <LordLimecat> im SURE youd reset ip if it was off for longer
[02:26] <jvai> billy ask them how can u help thru your browser.. i think that's the way, it has to resolve the dns
[02:26] <SARA> im using gnomebaker
[02:26] <jimmygoon> Anohaakten, same as it is here :D
[02:26] <Anohaakten> k

[02:40] <SARA> that did not help me
[02:40] <bruenig> kidbuntu, if it isn't just make an empty directory and mount it in there

[02:42] <bruenig> BrokenPipe, wow, that is some messy stuff maybe sudo dpkg --configure -a
[02:42] <SARA> i just upgraded a few weeks ago.....MP3's
[02:42] <LordLimecat> sudo dhclient eth0 >_<
[02:42] <yomm_> alperyil : if your motherboard supports booting from usb u can just install ubuntu no probs
[02:42] <kidbuntu> bruenig: it didn't work
[02:42] <joshjosh> SARA: Download gstreamer plugins in synaptic
[02:42] <bruenig> kidbuntu, what did it say
[02:42] <kidbuntu> bruenig: wrong fs type..........
[02:42] <kidbuntu> bruenig: wrong fs type,  wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb2,
[02:42] <bruenig> kidbuntu, try it without fs, sudo mount /dev/hdb2 /mnt
[02:42] <SARA> ok well which one do i pick?
[02:43] <bruenig> oh well bad superblock is a problem
[02:43] <alperyilmaz> can i install by making ext2 and swap on 2GB usb
[02:43] <bruenig> SARA, all of them
[02:43] <alperyilmaz> yes it supports usb boot
[02:43] <SARA> there is like 20 or more of them!
[02:43] <kidbuntu> bruenig: now it says must specify the filesystem type
[02:43] <LordLimecat> yo omeil
[02:43] <yomm_> alperyilmaz : yup
[02:43] <LordLimecat> you still there?
[02:43] <bruenig> kidbuntu, is it ext3 or something else?
[02:43] <SARA> are u sure?
[02:44] <alperyilmaz> how can i do it, just select install from liveCD and then choose usb drive as hardisk to be installed?
[02:44] <joshjosh> SARA: Read the descriptions of each of them and download what you need
[02:44] <desi007> is there a program like shut down timer that I can install which can shutdown my pc when I want to
[02:44] <kidbuntu> bruenig: I'm not really sure, but when I sudo fdisk, it said Extended
[02:44] <LordLimecat> desi007
[02:44] <SARA> i dont know what i need
[02:44] <LordLimecat> pretty sure you can just make a script and schedual it
[02:45] <bruenig> desi007, are you looking for a regular shutdown at a certain time each day or a one time thing
[02:45] <LordLimecat> i BELIEVE init 6 will begin a shutdown
[02:45] <LordLimecat> or perhaps init rd.6
[02:45] <root_____> disconnect
[02:45] <yomm_> alperyilmaz : yes ,usb disks would be something like /dev/sd*
[02:45] <colbert> Firefox is my default browser, but every link in XChat I open up keeps opening in Opera, and there is no option in Opera to change it.. please can anyone help ?
[02:45] <bruenig> kidbuntu, well it should be ext3,  if there is a bad superblock, it might not be able to tell at all
[02:45] <jvai> looks like dapper may survive my thinkpad t40... it's trying to die before it's tyme :(
[02:46] <alperyilmaz> what about grub loading, some people say it will recognize the computers own harddisk (like hda) and install boot on it
[02:46] <jvai> <-- *searches ebay for a new ibm t40
[02:46] <bruenig> colbert, sudo update-alternatives --set x-www-browser /usr/bin/firefox
[02:46] <alperyilmaz> is there a trick to make ubuntu install see the usb drive as only harddrive available
[02:46] <Aruin> bruenig i tride that and it dont seem to have done any thing (sorry for being a pain )
[02:47] <bruenig> Aruin, do cat /etc/apt/sources.list and put the output in pastebin
[02:47] <bruenig> !paste | Aruin
[02:47] <ubotu> Aruin: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)

[02:47] <darkempress> how do i change users in terminal (no not sudo or root, just a different user)
[02:47] <abasinisvacant> what's the command to delete a certain program
[02:47] <BrokenPipe> bruenig: I'm still getting http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9178/ after the 'dpkg --configure -a'
[02:47] <bruenig> colbert, opera is a little mean for doing that, took me forever to figure that out
[02:48] <LordLimecat> abasinisvacant: try apt-get remove (program package name)
[02:48] <darkempress> i'm logging into a computer on my network, but the nick i keep logging in as is not the one i need
[02:48] <LordLimecat> you need to know the package name tho
[02:48] <colbert> bruenig: lol yeah it's trying to bully its way into the system ;] 
[02:48] <cpetzol2> It may just be coincidental, but I have recently been trying to install broadcom wireless drivers, and everytime I install them I have to reboot my computer. When it boots normally, it just gets stuck with the progress bar at around 15% and wont move for hours. When I boot in recovery mode, it shows several lines about my new broadcom drivers, then it has a couple lines with some type of memory address and the line "child_rip+0". The only solution 
[02:48] <cpetzol2> e is by reinstally the entire OS. Does the installation of the drivers have anything to do with the boot process hanging? Should I use ndiswrapper instead of using the fw_cutter?
[02:48] <bruenig> BrokenPipe, I don't know, there must be something seriously wrong with the post remove script of that package
[02:49] <Khem> I am seeing problem with beryl on my ubuntu box sometimes new window starts all black

[02:50] <__david> hello, i have a small (7") touchscreen monitor.  I was wondering what ideas people had for using this in a linux/ubuntu project?  It is standard vga/usb, acting just like a normal mouse/monitor, but it's tiny (640x480) and touchscreen.  What things would be cool to do with this?
[02:50] <Aruin> bruenig it just told me permision denied after i typeed /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:50] <__david> gary__: if you first find the package file (it's a .deb), you can open it in file-roller and dig around to find the script
[02:50] <bruenig> Aruin, cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:51] <SARA> ok well i looked for what i needed and could not find it...any more suggestions?!
[02:51] <darkempress> how do i log out via terminal as one user, and log in as another?
[02:51] <__david> gary__: it's in /var/cache/apt/archives
[02:51] <gary__> __david, thanks
[02:51] <bruenig> gary__, you can extract it with ar x whatever.deb
[02:51] <buddy7999> are there any EE's in the room?
[02:51] <__david> gary__: you'll probably need to edit and re-run the script to make it work
[02:51] <__david> buddy7999, i know a bit about EE
[02:52] <buddy7999> do you know of any circuit simulatoin software
[02:52] <__david> darkempress, have you tried the command "logout"
[02:52] <buddy7999> ie transistor/diode simulation
[02:52] <__david> buddy7999, i believe it's called spice

[02:53] <SARA> well i did not!
[02:53] <jimmygoon> SARA: what is wrong with your gnomebaker?
[02:53] <bruenig> SARA, that is user error, there is nothing more we can do

[02:53] <bruenig> Aruin, yes
[02:53] <xelados> Has any patch or update been released to handle this new Daylight Savings Time crap?
[02:53] <darkempress> __david, that stops the connection..i need to change users without breaking connection unless there's a way to change usernames as i'm logging in...
[02:53] <bruenig> xelados, what is happening with daylight savings time?
[02:53] <Xenguy> xelados: everything after breezy is immune/fixed
[02:53] <__david> buddy7999: it's called SPICE.  use google to learn more
[02:54] <xelados> Xenguy: Ah, alright.
[02:54] <__david> darkempress: are you using VT or gnome-terminal or xterm?
[02:54] <SARA> it tells me If you're having problems opening certain files make sure you have the GStreamer plugins needed to decode them.
[02:54] <Xenguy> bruenig: Amerika decided to change DST
[02:54] <jimmygoon> screw us... :P
[02:54] <bruenig> to end it?
[02:54] <SARA> If you're having problems opening certain files make sure you have the GStreamer plugins needed to decode them.
[02:54] <Xenguy> bruenig: no, earlier this year
[02:55] <omeil_> is Team America 2 being made?
[02:55] <Aruin> bruenig: what syntax do i put it under?
[02:55] <gnomefreak> SARA: no need to keep repeating it
[02:55] <__david> darkempress: there is a program called "screen" that, while I haven't personally used, allows you to have terminal sessions that detach and reattach,
[02:55] <SARA> it was a mistake
[02:55] <bruenig> Aruin, just pick one, it doesn't matter, bash I guess
[02:55] <jimmygoon> SARA: thats why you need to follow the instructions on the RESTRICTEDFORMATS page that was listed above that will install the gstreamer codecs for you... :)
[02:55] <Xenguy> darkempress: screen is the ultimate zen app
[02:55] <jimmygoon> SARA, you made need to restart
[02:55] <darkempress> __david, forget it..i logged in via ssh with ssh <address> -l <login name>
[02:55] <SARA> i tired to restart
[02:55] <__david> darkempress: su
[02:55] <darkempress> got it sorted, thanks anyways

[03:00] <bruenig> Latitude^, riiiight
[03:00] <deltaray> Hi, I came to this channel because I'm trying to get Ubuntu on a machine that already has Vista on it.  I know how to install Ubuntu so I don't need help with that part, but....
[03:00] <deltaray> the laptop with Vista already on it has a partition at the end of the drive that is 2GB and has what looks like a windows base partition on it (like a C: drive).
[03:00] <deltaray> Its a Dell 640m if that helps.  Anyone know what this partition is?
[03:01] <jimmygoon> deltaray: be careful - sometimes the 2gig is a recovery partition ESPECIALLY with Dells
[03:01] <jimmygoon> do NOT delete it or write over it
[03:01] <Latitude^> deltaray, that could be PC restore
[03:01] <Aruin> bruenig: ok iv done that its nowasking for my password but wont let me type it in !
[03:01] <jimmygoon> resize the vista partition (partly dangerous) and then install ubuntu
[03:01] <CalJohn> deltaray: manufactuer model numbers _rarely_ help, unfortunatley :(
[03:01] <CalJohn> deltaray: they're a randomised marketing gimmick
[03:01] <bruenig> Aruin, just type, it doesn't show anything but it is typing
[03:01] <jimmygoon> Aruin: when you type in passwords ... it is accepting the password but the ****'s don't show up
[03:02] <bruenig> more succinct
[03:02] <nasdaq7> how is windows vista - better than windows xp?
[03:02] <deltaray> jimmygoon, right, that's kinda what I figured, but I couldn't find anything to indicate that I could back that partition up to a dvd or something.
[03:02] <CalJohn> Aruin: unix has never shown the number of characters in a password
[03:02] <Ben701> Any thoughts on what the best(easiest to setup) mail server would be for edgy?
[03:02] <deltaray> And since its at the end of the drive, it would have to be removed in order to make room for Ubuntu.
[03:02] <bruenig> nasdaq7, how is throat cancer better than lung cancer
[03:02] <Aruin> it replyed with
[03:02] <Aruin> sed: no imput files
[03:02] <Ax3> lol
[03:02] <abasinisvacant> i installed a program that i can't get rid of... can someone help????
[03:02] <jimmygoon> deltaray : nah, that partition is like so you can hold down F8 when the PC starts up and the Dell thing runs to allow you to reapir your hard drive
[03:02] <deltaray> CalJohn, Well, I'm more used to enterprise hardware where the model numbers actually say something.
[03:02] <Coranth> If I were to install Ubuntu on my Toshiba Notebook... how would I get online with it? I have an Alcatel Speedtouch 530 Modem that came as part of a Telstra Bigpond Broadband self-install kit. I've read some stuff on the Internet about using the -ethernet- connection port on the modem and doing it that way... but I can't do that, as I have no network 'card' in my Notebook, and the Ethernet...
[03:02] <CalJohn> Aruin: it's kinda a security issue, makes brute forcing easier
[03:02] <Coranth> ...port is used for a shared internet connection.
[03:02] <jimmygoon> deltaray- no
[03:03] <Ax3> nasdaq7: this _is_ an ubuntu channel, you'll get nothing but anti m$ here haha
[03:03] <bruenig> Aruin, are you copying the whole thing at once
[03:03] <Latitude^> deltaray, if u have the windows reinstall cd as well as the other softwares, you may delete it
[03:03] <jimmygoon> deltaray- you need to resize your Vista partition to make room for ubuntu
[03:03] <CalJohn> deltaray: as far as consumer laptops, is what I'm saying :p
[03:03] <deltaray> jimmygoon, ok, so I could just reinstall Vista if it becomes a problem.
[03:03] <bruenig> Aruin, copy the entire thing after the colon at once
[03:03] <nasdaq7> that is why i haven't installed it yet - have had the dvd next to me for 3 weeks.
[03:03] <Aruin> bruenig i coppyed everything you told me to and put it in
[03:03] <root2> name/ needtoknow
[03:03] <jimmygoon> deltaray,  yes... that is what that partition is for.. which is why you should preserve it
[03:03] <techie_> Question. When I click my applications and see the installed program "Wine" to the right of it there is still a windows program which I already erased, sort of uninstalled programs in the start menu of windows that are still there even though you uninstalled them before. How do I get rid of it?
[03:03] <deltaray> jimmygoon, Actually, I heard something about needing to resize it from within Vista before installing Ubuntu , is that right?  Or can I just use gparted?
[03:04] <CalJohn> deltaray: even in Sun hardware for example, model numbers aren't much indication of anything, performance or feature wise, unless you know the whole range off by heart
[03:04] <jimmygoon> deltaray, if you are interested in trying to resize the vista partition.... (lemme find the link)
[03:04] <bruenig> Aruin, at once, all at once, there should be an input file, that is the file you just pastebined it is obviously there
[03:04] <bimberi> Ben701: setting up dovecot was quote straightforward (dapper though but little will have changed)
[03:04] <bruenig> Aruin, oh my fault
[03:04] <deltaray> CalJohn, right
[03:04] <haakuturi> Anyone familiar with fluxbox?
[03:04] <jimmygoon> deltaray, ANY TIME YOU TRY TO RESIZE you SHOULDNOT be running any operating system off the hard drive
[03:04] <__david> techie_: use alacarte (you can run it from a terminal) to edit your menus
[03:04] <Ben701> bimberi: Thanks Ill give that a shot
[03:04] <CalJohn> haakuturi: yes
[03:04] <deltaray> jimmygoon, ok, that makes sense.
[03:04] <jturek> Hi, How can i change the resolution of my tty consoles ?  I run Irssi in full screen, and i want to be able to see more
[03:04] <jimmygoon> deltaray, which is why you use a livecd... hold on
[03:05] <bruenig> Aruin, wow ok here it is: sudo sed -e 's/# deb/deb/g' -e 's/dapper universe/dapper universe multiverse/g' -e 's/dapper-security universe/dapper-security universe multiverse/g' -i.backup /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3
[03:05] <bimberi> Ben701: np, look for the guides on help.ubuntu.com/community
[03:05] <root2> HOW DO I RESIZE MY UBUNTU PARTITION TO 15 GB AND give the rest to windows ( sorry about the caps )
[03:05] <haakuturi> CalJohn and xfce? I can't figure out how to browse a Windows share....

[03:05] <deltaray> You know what really sucks that I just found.  I use synergy and have noticed that Vista's permissions window that comes up doesn't allow you to use synergy to move the mouse or use the keyboard when it comes up.  So Vista breaks synergy.
[03:05] <Aruin> ok will try that then
[03:05] <jimmygoon> root2, deltaray,  http://www.sysresccd.org/ <--- AWESOME THING TO HAVE AT ALL TIMES! It has something called "run_qtparted" to allow you toresize partitions
[03:05] <jimmygoon> root2 read that ^^^
[03:05] <bruenig> root2, gparted, you will need to use a live cd if you are trying to resize your root partition because you can't resize a mounted partition

[03:05] <Aruin> ah that looks more promesing :)
[03:06] <jimmygoon> deltaray: thats really sad abotu synergy.. I love that app :)
[03:06] <deltaray> jimmygoon, Yes, I've seen that before when I made a LiveDVD for my local LUG last year.
[03:06] <deltaray> yeah, it sucks.  Fucking M$
[03:06] <__david> techie_: i think it was in dapper?

[03:07] <CalJohn> haakuturi: it's generally better if you just ask the question. Then anyone can answer it can help you
[03:07] <bruenig> root2, a terminal, and cdrecord dev=/dev/whatever whatever.iso
[03:07] <bimberi> *DVD
[03:07] <jimmygoon> root2: downlaod the iso to your desktop - right click right to CD
[03:07] <deltaray> jimmygoon,  Oh well, they can dig themselves into a hole.  I've never seen so much interest in Linux as I have this year.
[03:07] <root2> Uh oh
[03:07] <jimmygoon> thats the 3rd time tonight I've siad that :P
 it is interesting that now the Applications do not show the word Wine! I assume this is correct since I do not have any programs installed in Wines. I imagine if i were to setup another windows program, then the word "Wine" in applications would appear again. Does that make sense to you?

[03:08] <sparr> magez_: ive been running feisty+edgy for a while now, very happy.  im upgrading to all feisty tonight
[03:08] <__david> techie_: if there are no leaf or "runnable" nodes under a menu (i.e. it's all empty folders), the whole thing isn't added to the menu
[03:08] <nasdaq7> well bill gates said that vista was the 'last windows' - if you would believe that ...
[03:08] <bimberi> magez_: for a production system with data that's important to you - No.
[03:08] <Aruin> bruenig: thank you for your help got it working now :)
[03:08] <omeil_> anyone know how to upgrade the physicsFS?
[03:08] <deltaray> jimmygoon, Did you read about that guy who installed Ubuntu for his dad, making his Dad think that he was installing Vista and his Dad liked it?   Let me see if I can find that.

[03:09] <OMGLAZERS> If I were to download an application I wanted to run outside of the package manager, is there any place set aside to store it already in / or should I just make a file for it, say, /applicaitons/ ?
[03:09] <jvai> dapper's old???? I'M ON IT NOW...
[03:10] <sparr> OMGLAZERS: thats usually what /opt is for
[03:10] <__david> techie: dapper is the version prior to edgy; empty folders aren't shown (and dapper is still in use)
[03:10] <jvai> i thought dapper was current
[03:10] <PriceChild> jvai, dapper will be supported after edgy's support ends

[03:10] <CalJohn> OMGLAZERS: yes, but i don't know how to do it from a deb package
[03:10] <root2> Ubotu I can only hack windows 98 thrue ubuntu I hardly consider myself a hacker
[03:10] <bimberi> jvai: it is, just not the latest
[03:10] <bruenig> OMGLAZERS, if it is a normally compiled application with configure script, it should be in /usr/local, if it is a precompiled binary thing like firefox, it is /opt
[03:10] <Coranth> Jesus... how fast do you people type...?
[03:10] <CalJohn> OMGLAZERS: sources, i can do
[03:10] <con-man> OMGLASERSPEWPEWPEW
[03:10] <jvai> uall r too bleeding "edgy"
[03:10] <jimmygoon> Coranth: really really really fast
[03:10] <bimberi> Coranth: bewildering isn't it
[03:10] <PriceChild> con-man, please don't
[03:10] <sparr> bruenig: putting anything not managed by dpkg outside of /opt is asking for trouble
[03:10] <abasinisvacant> i installed a program, mozilla-firefox-locale-ko, and there seemed to be a huge bug or something, i can't seem to get rid of it!  now i can't even use firefox.. any ideas how to fix it???

 do you know how to write "drivers" I have a handheld Panasonic RR-US380 with a usb cable only for windows. I contacted Panasonic and no drivers for Linux. Is writing a driver a pain or difficult?
[03:11] <PriceChild> !botabuse > root2 (please see the pm frmo ubotu)
[03:11] <__david> abasinisvacant: you could try removing the locale package and then reinstalling all the firefox packages (you'll have to track down the dependencies of the packages so you get all the firefox-related ones, which might not be fun)
[03:12] <sparr> bruenig: then you apt-get something that overwrites it, and everything goes to shit.  enjoy  :)
[03:12] <con-man> !botabuse > con-man
[03:12] <abasinisvacant> __david, i have no idea how to do that
[03:12] <bruenig> sparr, apt-get doesn't overwrite /usr/local
[03:12] <bruenig> sparr, apt-get uses /usr
[03:12] <omeil_> checking for PHYSFS_init in -lphysfs... no
[03:12] <jvai> EDGY MUST HAVE BECOME AS STABLE AS DAPPER.. FROM THE LOOKS OF THE CHANNE3L

[03:12] <omeil_> configure: error:  *** Unable to find PhysFS library (icculus.org/physfs/)
[03:12] <CalJohn> sparr: that's not how it works.
[03:12] <jvai> sorry bout the caps
[03:12] <abasinisvacant> synaptic won't let me remove the program
[03:12] <omeil_> but the physicsfs is installed :(
[03:12] <tovella> adminx: i think it was replaced with "disk usage analyzer" under Applications > Accessories
[03:12] <abasinisvacant> __david, synaptic won't let me remove the program
[03:13] <__david> abasinisvacant: or you could uninstall in, delete ".mozilla/" from your home directory (this deletes all the settings related to firefox), and then it might just work
[03:13] <jimmygoon> jvai: whats your point, for most of us it is, is there a reason/need for the caps?
[03:13] <bruenig> sparr, the worst you could get is maybe you get a /usr/bin/whatever and a /usr/local/bin/whatever and having to change the name of the /usr/local/bin/whatever
[03:13] <__david> abasinisvacant: install the english locale instead?
[03:13] <soundray> omeil_: you probably want libphysfs-dev
[03:13] <con-man> !botabuse | ubotu

[03:15] <flafla> it always plays at like 2x... it's crazy
[03:15] <IndyGunFreak> techie_: oh yeah, i remember you mentioning that the other night.
[03:15] <__david> abasinisvacant: in your home directory, ".mozillla/" is a hidden directory with all of your mozilla settings in it

[03:23] <nalioth> !tell cbass about automatix
[03:23] <omegabeta> !automatix | cbass
[03:23] <ubotu> cbass: 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.

[03:25] <woodgrain> IndyGunFreak, thanks.  There are 71 users on #gimp on GIMPNet
[03:25] <root2> flafla I dont know how to fix this but if you goto www.torrentspy.com     help, my video or sound wont play, they have a free ware video player THAT IS VERY GOOD and its froo
[03:25] <omegabeta> eh
[03:25] <Dyla1> anybody else have that problem?
[03:25] <omegabeta> Question: Gnome seems to have broken, It keeps coming up with a bug report tool then i close that and it pops back up, not displaying the top panel properly - this came after trying to extract an iso from a seemingly corrupt archive.. if i pasted the error report to pastebin could i get any help?
[03:25] <jimmygoon> jake_ VLC is your best friend for videos and exaile/rhythmbox/banshee for music
[03:25] <IndyGunFreak> woodgrain: it must ave went up quickly then..lol, there wwere around 40-50 when i joined a couple minutes ago..lol
[03:25] <jimmygoon> Dyla1, is it physically broken maybe?
[03:25] <root2> VLC is that a video plaer?
[03:25] <Dyla1> no when i boot in windows, its fine.
[03:26] <flafla> root2:  I jsut wanna fix my totem player
[03:26] <Victor```> it's a general media player, yes
[03:26] <soundray> flafla: log into a failsafe session and delete the totem settings with 'rm -rf $HOME/.gnome2/totem'
[03:26] <jimmygoon> root2,  yes
[03:26] <IndyGunFreak> flafla: whats wrong with it/
[03:26] <Dyla1> i didn't know if there was a setting in ubuntu to turn it on or off...
[03:26] <jimmygoon> flafla, but totem sucks!
[03:26] <IndyGunFreak> VLC is the best of the bunch, i removed all the others.
[03:26] <Victor```> Yeah, VLC is very good
[03:26] <jimmygoon> then agian, mozilla-plugin-vlc is ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS
[03:26] <flafla> soundray:  I'll try that
[03:26] <omegabeta> its all about mp3blaster ;)
[03:26] <yurimxpxman> hey guys, how do I get my webcam working in Ubuntu 6.10?
[03:26] <root2> Pretty sure its VLC I am talking abought
[03:26] <jake_> my xmms plays mp3 before but efter i update my system, i cant anymore
[03:27] <Victor```> jake_: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[03:27] <IndyGunFreak> jake_: xmms should play mp3's w/o even installing codecs
[03:27] <soundray> !webcam > yurimxpxman, please read the private message from ubotu
[03:27] <jimmygoon> jake_ you need to install codecs... read up here: http://ubuntuguides.org
[03:27] <Victor```> dependencies may have been broken
[03:27] <IndyGunFreak> jimmygoon: xmms will play mp3's w/o codecs
[03:27] <root2> Ill get you a link
[03:27] <root2> fla fla
[03:27] <jimmygoon> yeah, but xmms is a lame music playa
[03:27] <joshjosh> jimmygoon: Pfft. It serves it's purpose.
[03:28] <Victor```> VLC doesn't require mpg123 or any of those fancy decoders. :)
[03:28] <jimmygoon> I know, I'm jsut being absurd
[03:28] <nixnoob> is there a way to roll back an update using apt?
[03:28] <woodgrain> IndyGunFreak, different servers: freenode vs. gimpnet.
[03:28] <PriceChild> nixnoob, sudo apt-get install package=version
[03:28] <IndyGunFreak> woodgrain: ah, ok
[03:28] <jake_> i think the gstreamer, i remember i uninstalled it, am i correct?
[03:28] <PriceChild> nixnoob, or use the "force package" in synaptic
[03:29] <nixnoob> pricechild im rolling back wine
[03:29] <nixnoob> sudo apt-get install wine=0.9.31
[03:29] <nixnoob> ?
[03:29] <Victor```> emerge -av vlc
[03:29] <Victor```> er
[03:29] <root2> Ty |* l /\/ g   L | |<  Th I $  IS  Ab$()r |)
[03:29] <jimmygoon> PriceChild: force version works but LOCK VERSION has been broke in synpatic for months
[03:30] <PriceChild> nixnoob, You'll have to do it for some dependencies also otherwise it'll complain
[03:30] <Victor```> gentoo needs a binary package mechanism >_>
[03:30] <omeil_> nixnoob: why roll back wine?
[03:30] <root2> Yah its VLC!!!

[03:36] <Dyla1> it works fine in windows
[03:36] <mil> i cant access the cmd line by using ctrl alt f#    // the screen just freezes like it cant show the terminal - mouse/clock stops moving til i hit ctrl alt f7 to get back -- any idea how to get to cmd line? Im running ubuntu using vmserver
[03:36] <ToddEDM> hey guys, how can i login as root from the login sreen
[03:36] <jimmygoon> nalioth: do you want to help me make it work because I just forced myself back to mplayer-mozilla because of it ...
[03:37] <Omeil> IndyGunfreak: i understand lol :D
[03:37] <abasinisvacant> "i am not the owner, so i can not change these permissions", that's what it says when i try to delete a certain file.  i i am the root user, but why can't i delete it still? is ther a way??
[03:37] <jimmygoon> why do you write that /msg ubotu worksfor me??? lol
[03:37] <crdlb> ToddEDM, why?
[03:37] <ToddEDM> cause i want to
[03:37] <ToddEDM> ;)
[03:37] <IndyGunFreak> Omeil: i downloaded a simple emulator the other day, you wouldn't believe it, i decided if its not in the repos, i don't need it..lol
[03:37] <PriceChild> abasinisvacant, the root account is disabled by default in ubuntu. The first user is not a root user, however you can prefix commands with "sudo" to give it root privileges
[03:38] <IndyGunFreak> ToddEDM: if you'
[03:38] <ToddEDM> i want to see if , when i login as root, my ntfs drive will work proper
[03:38] <Omeil> IndyGunfreak: lol. what emu was it for?
[03:38] <abasinisvacant> pricechild, but how would i fix my problem?
[03:38] <IndyGunFreak> Omeil: snes
[03:38] <root2> msg uboto goto hell
[03:38] <nalioth> ToddEDM: if you mount the ntfs drive using sudo, it should work fine
[03:38] <abasinisvacant> pricechild:  there is a file that i just /can not/ get rid of
[03:38] <PriceChild> abasinisvacant, prefix the command with "sudo", so for example "sudo gedit foo" or "sudo rm foo"
[03:38] <IndyGunFreak> finally got it installed, gotta get a controller tomorrow.
[03:38] <Omeil> IndyGunfreak: wait...i thought the snes emu was in the repos
[03:39] <acid_phyre> !ntfs
[03:39] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[03:39] <IndyGunFreak> Omeil: it was, but someone in offtopic talked me in to trying to compile the newest one...lol
[03:39] <IndyGunFreak> i figured why not.
[03:39] <ToddEDM> ohh i can see the disk, and play media off it , but i cant save stuff on it
[03:39] <Omeil> hehe
[03:39] <IndyGunFreak> i'ma glutton for punishment i guess
[03:39] <Omeil> i might install the snes emu aswell
[03:39] <IndyGunFreak> nalioth: you deserve a medal for that ban
[03:39] <omegabeta> Question : My gnome has broken, It keep popping up with a bug report and i cant access the panel, I'm prety sure it is a gnome-pannel issue but i have no idea how to fix it.. it came after trying to extract a corrupt iso but i cant see how this would have caused it.. any ideas?
[03:39] <Omeil> is there a 64emu for lin?
[03:39] <abasinisvacant> pricechild, it opens up gedit, but the page is blank????
[03:39] <jimmygoon> Omeil : mupen64 .. its not half bad
[03:40] <jimmygoon> although there was talk on their BB that someone is making Open64 ...
[03:40] <IndyGunFreak> Omeil: N64?  I don't know, i imagine there probaby is though
[03:40] <LordLimecat> omeil
[03:40] <Omeil> does that mean its half good?
[03:40] <LordLimecat> you up for some trem?
[03:40] <PriceChild> abasinisvacant, The command you were attempting earlier, put a sudo before it. My examples were just examples... you weren't meant to do them
[03:40] <Omeil> IndyGunFreak: oh i remember the problem i had was ntfs-3g being a bitch. but it works like a giffy now
[03:41] <Omeil> hmm
[03:41] <jimmygoon> IndyGunFreak, Its called Mupen64
[03:41] <IndyGunFreak> Omeil: yeah, that was th eother issue
[03:41] <Omeil> not atm
[03:41] <Omeil> this compiling is being a bitch
[03:41] <IndyGunFreak> jimmygoon: ok.. like i said, i figured there was one, i just hadn't heard fo it, is it in the repos?
[03:41] <kitche> !ohmy | Omeil
[03:41] <jimmygoon> Omeil, what are you compiling
[03:41] <ubotu> Omeil: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[03:41] <jimmygoon> IndyGunFreak, no but its easy... just extract... there are no "difficult" requirements
[03:41] <edgarin> Hi people
[03:41] <Omeil> being an itch then :)
[03:41] <edgarin> howto I can download all packages avaible for Ubuntu edgy?
[03:42] <Omeil> jimmygoon: some mmorpg lol.
[03:42] <Omeil> The Mana World i think
[03:42] <jimmygoon> oh
[03:42] <kid6> I am trying to get my brodcom wireless working.  I have installed the drivers and also installed WiFi-Radar.  I can see the wireless router in WiFi Radar with a pretty good signal.  It will not get an IP Address though. Does anyone have advice for troubleshooting?
[03:42] <jimmygoon> lol
[03:42] <IndyGunFreak> jimmygoon: doews it work pretty well, i loved Mario 64
[03:42] <abasinisvacant> PriceChild, the page is still blank
[03:42] <jimmygoon> IndyGunFreak,  quite well
[03:42] <PriceChild> abasinisvacant, What were you trying to do originally?
[03:42] <kid6> haha nevermind works now
[03:42] <jimmygoon> (OT) IndyGunFreak, I'm all curious now cause apparently the emulation is near full speed (w/o sound) on the PSP for Mario 64!!!
[03:42] <kid6> you guys are good
[03:43] <abasinisvacant> PriceChild:  originally i was trying to install a korean version of firefox
[03:43] <Omeil> IndyGunFreak: speaking of mario64 i have that rom here :) :P
[03:43] <paradizelost> Hey all, can anyone tell me if ubuntu has released a DST 2007 update yet?
[03:43] <IndyGunFreak> Omeil: lol
[03:43] <abasinisvacant> PriceChild, then there was an error in installing, and now my english firefox is broken also
[03:43] <crdlb> paradizelost, I'd be surprised if that didn't happen a long time ago
[03:43] <ToddEDM>  THEN, again from start menu go to System --> Administration --> Login Screen Setup.
[03:43] <ToddEDM> There go to the "security" tab and CHECK "allow root to login with GDM". Close all windows and log out of GNOME and on to GDM.
[03:43] <ToddEDM> type root, root's password that u had set and log in as root!
[03:43] <adminx> Have you checked that you have dhcp enabled
[03:44] <Omeil> LordLimecat:must be fragging some aliens by now
[03:44] <PriceChild> abasinisvacant, "that's what it says when i try to delete a certain file." is what the original problem was... Hmm... I'm not too sure about what you're trying to do now...
[03:44] <paradizelost> crdlb: can you tell me then how i can tell what the daylight saving dates are set to?
[03:44] <jimmygoon> Omeil, IndyGunFreak it would be wrong of my to advertise that I know decent place to get roms from... so I cough won't.
[03:45] <Omeil> website?
[03:45] <IndyGunFreak> jimmygoon: pm me when you get a minute..lol
[03:45] <abasinisvacant> PriceChild, i'm trying to get rid of something called "lock", because it seems that it's preventing me from uninstalling (or reinstalling)the bad firefox file
[03:45] <Omeil> i wonder how u get a minute :)
[03:45] <PriceChild> abasinisvacant, How did you install this "bad firefox"?
[03:45] <Omeil> its like adding an extra minute in ur life :D
[03:45] <abasinisvacant> PriceChild, synaptic package
[03:45] <PriceChild> abasinisvacant, So why wouldn't synaptic remove it?
[03:45] <soundray> paradizelost: 'zdump -v /etc/localtime | grep 2007'
[03:45] <PriceChild> abasinisvacant, what's the name of the package?
[03:46] <Omeil> awsome the linux tibia client works with flying colours :d
[03:46] <abasinisvacant> PriceChild, mozilla-firefox-locale-ko
[03:46] <paradizelost> kk thanks
[03:46] <nalioth> PriceChild: if apt was interupted, it can leave the "lock" file in place (that tells the system that an upgrade is taking place)
[03:46] <smo> i can t see my sata drives only m usb drives any idears ??   ubuntu 2.6.17-11 386
[03:46] <soundray> paradizelost: is it correct on your system?
[03:46] <paradizelost> yes it is
[03:47] <PriceChild> abasinisvacant, "sudo apt-get -f install" Will fix things I think...
[03:47] <jdhoreotg> I'm running Ubuntu Edgy and i want to upgrade my Nvidia drivers from the 8776 driver that comes in the repos to the latest stable 9xxx series driver...i have one question about this...if it happens to cause massive issues and things, how do i revert back to the old 8776 drivers?
[03:47] <abasinisvacant> PriceChild, ok will try..
[03:47] <tgelter> hey everyone - for some reason (and it's not a bad keyboard, I've checked) Alt-F2 won't bring up the "launch a program" dialog, nor can I bring up virtual terminals with CTRL-ALT-F1,F2, etc. yet CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE will kill gdm and x as expected...
[03:47] <PriceChild> nalioth, Stop knowing everything :)
[03:47] <soundray> paradizelost: just curious, because I told someone else that tzdata was up to date in ubuntu, and then I wasn't too sure -- thanks.
[03:47] <ToddEDM> i guess im gonna have to just use my sneakernet to get this movie off my linux partition
[03:47] <PriceChild> jdhoreotg, the nvidia binarys have an uninstall option. If you install from !nvidia9 packages then you can just uninstall them via apt. Either way you should be able to downgrade
[03:48] <Omeil> IndyGunFreak: so do standard controllers work in snes and ubuntu?
[03:48] <paradizelost> soundray: yep, unlike windows, which just released an official fix for XP SP2 and newer last month
[03:48] <IndyGunFreak> Omeil: i don't know...lol, i haven't gotten one yet, im gonna do that tomorrow or sat.
[03:48] <smo> jdhoreotg it will uninstall older drivers so don t worry...
[03:49] <jdhoreotg> PriceChild, i'm gonna be using Envy to upgrade, but if i do need to downgrade back to 8776, will i still be able to do it with apt?
[03:49] <abasinisvacant> pricechild, it says:   could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 resource temoporarily unavailable)                    unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/, is another process using it?
[03:49] <omegabeta> Question : My gnome has broken, It keep popping up with a bug report and i cant access the panel, I'm prety sure it is a gnome-pannel issue but i have no idea how to fix it.. it came after trying to extract a corrupt iso but i cant see how this would have caused it.. any ideas?
[03:49] <PriceChild> abasinisvacant, close synaptic or any other package managers then try again
[03:49] <mil> i cant access the cmd line by using ctrl alt f#    // the screen just freezes like it cant show the terminal - mouse/clock stops moving til i hit ctrl alt f7 to get back -- any idea how to get to cmd line? Im running ubuntu using vmserver
[03:50] <jdhoreotg> well...i'm gonna go now...i'll be back soon if i have issues
[03:50] <Omeil> IndyGunFreak: im gonna scream
[03:50] <PriceChild> jdhoreotg, I'm not familiar with envy.... what card do you have by the way?
[03:50] <Omeil> lol
[03:50] <jdhoreotg> Geforce4 MX420
[03:50] <IndyGunFreak> Omeil: why's that?
[03:50] <Omeil> IndyGunFreak: the library i dloaded didn't fix the compiling prblem >_<
[03:50] <PriceChild> jdhoreotg, Make sure it installs the 9631 drivers, not 9746 ;)
[03:51] <IndyGunFreak> Omeil: lol
[03:51] <jdhoreotg> ok, thanks
[03:51] <IndyGunFreak> ok, bedtime all, laters.
[03:51] <gavintlgold> guys, does anyone know of an AMD64 repository for Avant Window Navigator? (especially the svn version)
[03:51] <jdhoreotg> and i'm pretty sure my card is supported...i just got it working in Sabayon which uses the 9631 driver
[03:52] <abasinisvacant> PriceChild, it says :  E:  unmet dependencies.  Try 'apt-get -f install; with no packages (or specify a solution).
[03:52] <nalioth> gavintlgold: svn is processor/distro agnostic
[03:52] <crdlb> nalioth, I think he wants built svn snapshots
[03:52] <gavintlgold> yeah
[03:52] <gavintlgold> sorry, yeah i meant snapshots
[03:53] <Omeil> IndyGunFreak: ok it's sorta kinda working now :D. its probably a crap mmorpg anyways lol "D
[03:53] <gavintlgold> i suppose saying the "subversion version" is an oxymoron, but whatever
[03:53] <PriceChild> abasinisvacant, "sudo apt-get remove mozilla-firefox-locale-ko" ?
[03:53] <abasinisvacant> pricechild, tried that, did not work

[03:59] <francois> hi, i was wondering if there was a way to bind a string of text to a larger one, like "help" == "please help me" ?
[03:59] <Daynah> smo, you'll need to do a thing called mounting them. It's not because their sata drives that they aren't being detected, it's because you've plugged them in after you installed ubuntu. Lemme pull up a guide to give you
[03:59] <washbear> how do you reboot from single user mode - "reboot" and "shutdown" just returns an error message "cannot connect" ...
[03:59] <smo> install wifi-radar carambola
[03:59] <carambola> the wireless worked before... but then i did an update (that seemed to leave network stuff alone) and it stopped working
[03:59] <washbear> am trying to reset root passwd
[03:59] <smo> i know it daynah i m old school user lol
[04:00] <ablyss> francois: there are several ways to do that.. it would help to know what the string is for
[04:00] <smo> no i really can t detect them with fdisk or whatever
[04:00] <Daynah> smo, oh okay, then I don't know anything past that. Sorry darling!
[04:00] <francois> ablyss: nothing really, i just want to be able to write something shorthand, all the time, in any window or application
[04:00] <smo> np thx anyway
[04:02] <ablyss> francois: i haven't seen any program that will do that on linux, shortcut key programs might, like xbindkeys
[04:02] <kid6> francois: That would be cool.. if you find out let me know
[04:04] <blkdimnd> I have a question, I'm running Ubuntu Edgy with Beryl, and I see alot of screen shots with an OS X like tool barr on the desktop.  What program do you all think they are using?
[04:04] <jdhoreotg> well...i tried to install the 9613 driver
[04:04] <ablyss> francois: okay found a kde program in the kde settings that does what you want
[04:04] <jdhoreotg> and now i have no x
[04:04] <jdhoreotg> please help...i'm stuck using irssi via CLI right now
[04:04] <francois> ablyss: nice, i was just about to say, xbindkeys seems to only link to terminal commands
[04:04] <bruenig> francois, one rudimentary way that I could think of doing it is setup a script of sed substitution commands, and then run that script over a text document and all instances that are able to be changed will be, but that would only work for txt documents
[04:04] <estupendocero> what's a nice gui newsreader you guys would reccomend?
[04:05] <bruenig> !info liferea
[04:05] <ubotu> liferea: feed aggregator for GNOME. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.23-0ubuntu2 (edgy), package size 734 kB, installed size 2224 kB
[04:05] <ablyss> francois: this one is in the settings/regional-accessibility/input actions dialog
[04:05] <crdlb> estupendocero, do you mean newsgroups or RSS ?
[04:05] <francois> bruenig: hum... butt that wouldn't work for terminal ?
[04:05] <jdhoreotg> SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!
[04:05] <bruenig> francois, it would only work for txt documents like I said, for terminal you could do aliases
[04:05] <estupendocero> newsgroups
[04:06] <estupendocero> sorry
[04:06] <blenna_unix> is 52 degress C good for a pentium 4 w/ HT?

[04:06] <crdlb> estupendocero, either pan or sylpheed
[04:06] <crdlb> estupendocero, sypheed is also a mail client but I really like it
[04:06] <jdhoreotg> i'm sirry bruenig, but i'm a little upset as i have no x right now and it's difficult to get help
[04:06] <jdhoreotg> *sorry
[04:07] <bruenig> jdhoreotg, if no one knows, they can't answer
[04:07] <francois> ablyss: hum...i can't seem to find it
[04:07] <estupendocero> crdlb, thanks, I'll check them out. Which one has better features for handling binaries?
[04:07] <crdlb> estupendocero, I don't use newsgroups for that, but most like pan
[04:07] <root1> How do I get ubuntu to let me login as root I always get ," Root cant login from this screen"
[04:07] <ablyss> francois: http://epluribusunix.net/screenshots/operating_systems/ubuntu/screenshot_input_dialog.png
[04:07] <crdlb> since it is a dedicated NNTP client
[04:07] <bruenig> !sudo | root1
[04:07] <ubotu> root1: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[04:08] <carambola> smo: about wifi-radar... i'm pretty sure the problem is deeper than a frontend: iwconfig doesn't list any wireless devices
[04:08] <smo> ah ok
[04:08] <smo> what s your wifi card?
[04:08] <smo> moduel loaded?
[04:08] <smo> module*
[04:08] <estupendocero> crdlb,  thanks for the tip
[04:09] <francois> ablyss: o0o0, thank you
[04:09] <manny_> hey guys
[04:09] <manny_> how do that cmd to set up the su cmd
[04:09] <ablyss> francois: your welcome.. did that help any?
[04:09] <manny_> su pw or something like that
[04:09] <carambola> orinoco (prism 2) card... lsmod shows the module is loaded
[04:10] <francois> ablyss: yes, but we're not using the same window manager, but now i know what to look for, thanks
[04:10] <root1> What EXACTLY do I have to type to change my self to root. ( It wont let me at the login)
[04:10] <c0nv1ct> sudo su
[04:10] <ablyss> root1: type gksu gnome-terminal
[04:10] <bruenig> root1, preface commands with sudo to run them as root
[04:10] <crdlb> manny_, it's not recommended to make a root account since sudo -i is exactly like su
[04:10] <adminx> Good night from Marietta, GA.....
[04:10] <c0nv1ct> sudo su will give u a root shell too
[04:10] <bruenig> sudo -s sudo -i sudo su
[04:10] <manny_> oh
[04:10] <ablyss> hey i'm gwinnett
[04:11] <manny_> i thought i had to type in a password
[04:11] <nalioth> bruenig: it's a troll
[04:11] <stiv2k> why is my server install asking me to put the CD in when trying to install openssh-server ?
[04:11] <jdhoreotg> anybody?
[04:11] <c0nv1ct> u might, but it'll be the same one as your user account
[04:11] <bruenig> ok
[04:13] <TravisivarT> are there any tools to flash your bios through linux?  i'
[04:13] <blkdimnd> I have a question, I'm running Ubuntu Edgy with Beryl, and I see alot of screen shots with an OS X like tool barr on the desktop.  What program do you all think they are using?
[04:13] <ablyss> stiv2k: because your repositories are pointing to the cdrom,, uncheck them and check ubuntu server
[04:13] <Frogzoo> stiv2k: cos you still have the CD enabled as a repo
[04:13] <stiv2k> Frogzoo: ablyss: where in the config do i change that
[04:13] <DeL3e7> ive always wanted to flash openbios to my board
[04:14] <DeL3e7> but im afriad ill mess somethin up
[04:14] <ablyss> stiv2k: in synaptic i forget, maybe someone here might know
[04:14] <Frogzoo> stiv2k: synaptic -> repos
[04:14] <stiv2k> umm
[04:14] <stiv2k> Frogzoo: this is a server install i dont have a gui
[04:15] <ablyss> have to edit the file with vi then
[04:15] <Frogzoo> stiv2k: kk, edit /etc/apt/sources & remove the cdrom line
[04:15] <stiv2k> ok
[04:15] <ablyss> what he said :)
[04:16] <stiv2k> bingo
[04:16] <billy> does beryl just die from time to time for anyone else?  It restarts fine, but why does it just stop working in the first place?
[04:16] <billy> what happened to my first line there?
[04:16] <c0nv1ct> it used to die when i changed styles in gnome
[04:16] <c0nv1ct> but that was it
[04:16] <jdhoreotg> i really need some help here...i don't need a 100% definite answer, i just need something to get me back to a GUI...i used Envy to install the 9631 Nvidia driver on my box..unfortunately it doeswn't like me and now X won't start...i need some help, any help of how to get myself back to the driver that comes in the Edgy repos (8776) and get X started...any help on this would be VERY greatly appreciated
[04:16] <Frogzoo> billy: is beryl out of beta yet?
[04:17] <c0nv1ct> jdhoreotg: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=336412
[04:17] <billy> Frogzoo: yeah, I understand it's beta.  But I'm just curious if anyone else has this problem.  Not really a problem.  It's not hard to restart.  Just wondering if anyone else had that same sort of prob.
[04:17] <stiv2k> how can i check what services are being run at boot time
[04:17] <c0nv1ct> follow the directions on how to properly update your nvidia drivers
[04:17] <nfearnley> Hey, I just did an online update from ubuntu 6.06 to 6.10 and it gave me kernel 2.6.17-11 . I'm trying to get the headers off of apt with aptitude, but only 2.4 headers show up. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
[04:18] <billy> c0nv1ct, I don't use nvidia.  I have an intel integrated.
[04:18] <ablyss> stiv2k:  read /var/logs
[04:18] <c0nv1ct> billy: i was refering to jdhoreotg's problem
[04:18] <Frogzoo> billy: best ask in #ubuntu-effects
[04:18] <billy> c0nv1ct, oh sorry.
[04:19] <nfearnley> BTW, on the nvidia stuff. I was having problems. I had to use nvidia-installer to uninstall everything. Then I deleted some nvidia modules from /lib/modules. Then I reinstalled and it worked.
[04:19] <c0nv1ct> yeah nfearnley, theres a few things that need to be done to properly update the drivers
[04:19] <jdhoreotg> c0nv1ct: i'm running the latest driver and that's exactly what i'm having a problem with
[04:19] <c0nv1ct> and removing the old nvidia kernel module is one of the important ones :)
[04:19] <c0nv1ct> jdhoreotg: did you remove the old driver first?
[04:20] <nfearnley> It was complaining about mismatching module versions. So that's where I went.
[04:20] <c0nv1ct> if not, both kernel modules will load
[04:20] <jdhoreotg> c0nv1ct: yes i did
[04:20] <c0nv1ct> yeah, i had that problem yesterday when i updated my drivers
[04:20] <c0nv1ct> did you add "DISABLED_MODULES="nv"" to etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common?
[04:21] <c0nv1ct> and did you do 'sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-glx nvidia-settings' ?
[04:21] <jdhoreotg> c0nv1ct: no, but the 8776 drivers were working fin, then i installed the 9631 drivers and EVERYTHING went haywire
[04:21] <c0nv1ct> exactly
[04:21] <c0nv1ct> cuz the 8776 drivers are still loaded
[04:21] <GionnyBoss> I can't set a different file association in Nautilus. If I try to click to another application in the list, it doesn't let me add it. If I try to add another app to the list, it says 'Could not load application database'. And the weird thing is that I only have this problem on this computer, not on the other ones with the same Ubuntu version (Edgy). Can anybody help me, please?
[04:22] <c0nv1ct> you get an error saying its expecting 9631 but found 8776 when you start X?
[04:22] <cables> I'm having some trouble using x264 with AcidRip. Whenever I try to rip, it says "mencoder interrupted". Can anyone help me fix this?
[04:22] <aeromix> hi all..I'm trying to make a function to convert all spaces in file/directories names into _; however  while read f; do mv ${f} $(sed 's/\ /_/g' <<<${f}); done < <(ls)
[04:22] <aeromix> doesn't work..no idea why
[04:22] <jdhoreotg> c0nv1ct: i don't know
[04:22] <c0nv1ct> trust me, follow the directions on that HOWTO
[04:23] <nfearnley> aeromix: Maybe try quotes around ${f}.
[04:23] <c0nv1ct> and use your 9631 driver instead of 9746 as it says on the page, if you want
[04:23] <nfearnley> aeromix: If it has spaces in it, I'd think it would come out as multiple arguments.
[04:23] <ablyss> aeromix:  for x in *; do mv "$x" "$(echo $x | sed 's/\ /_/g')";done
[04:23] <jdhoreotg> s of right now, i'm giving up on the 9xxx driver...too much hassle
[04:23] <jdhoreotg> i just want 8776 back and working
[04:23] <jdhoreotg> *as of
[04:24] <aeromix> nfearnley: well, it works with " ", tnx
[04:24] <Squee> What is a good C ide (other than anjuta... i'm having too many issues with it)
[04:24] <c0nv1ct> it'd be less work to get the 9631 drivers u currently have to work
[04:24] <nfearnley> aeromix: n/p
[04:24] <c0nv1ct> its only a matter of like 3 or 4 commands, just try it
[04:24] <nfearnley> Anyone know how to update apt sources from 6.06 to 6.10?
[04:25] <GionnyBoss> Does anybody know where the Nautilus configuration files are? I would like to try to remove them to solve a problem with nautilus
[04:25] <nalioth> !tell nfearnley about upgrade
[04:25] <c0nv1ct> yeah, add them to /etc/apt/sources
[04:25] <nalioth> GionnyBoss: ~/.gnome2
[04:25] <c0nv1ct> or that bot will tell ya
[04:25] <nfearnley> GionnyBoss: try ~/.nautilus?
[04:26] <GionnyBoss> ok thanks
[04:26] <GionnyBoss> BTW, my problem is that changing file association in Nautilus is buggy... I can't use it
[04:26] <nfearnley> okay, the apt sources say they have edgy, but I can't find headers for kernel 2.6.17
[04:27] <GionnyBoss> I try to click on another app to handle (for example) MP3, but when I click on it, it doesn't select it :(
[04:27] <nalioth> !tell nfearnley about headers
[04:27] <Squee> nfearnley: Take the sources list from ubuntuguide.org.  That should have everything you need
[04:27] <nalioth> Squee: it's not sources he needs, but the 'package name'
[04:27] <Squee> ahh
[04:27] <doff> how to disable monitor power off after some time? I begin watching movie and after awhile the monitor turns off I have to turn it on by pressing some key again
[04:28] <nfearnley> I've searched but apt just seems to list 2.4 headers.
[04:28] <nalioth> nfearnley: the bot just gave you some info, did it not help?
[04:28] <c0nv1ct> nfearnley: did u run apt-get update ?
[04:28] <GionnyBoss> doff, System -> Preference -> Power Management. But it doesn't change on the fly, you have to reboot or restart I don't know which service
[04:29] <lkthomas> guys
[04:29] <lkthomas> I am using xubuntu
[04:29] <bruenig> !enter
[04:29] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[04:29] <lkthomas> it's amazing
[04:29] <GionnyBoss> doff, BTW, which app do you use to see movies? I use Xine, I have monitor power off enabled and it never turn off screen
[04:29] <mikefoo> So if I have a 6 drive server, what should I do for /boot so I have some fault tolerance if a drive fails?
[04:29] <mikefoo> anyone?
[04:29] <c0nv1ct> use raid?
[04:29] <lkthomas> but I am using dual monitor, how could I config seperate desktop on xubuntu ?
[04:30] <c0nv1ct> raid 5, raid 1...
[04:30] <rude_CE> I 'm trying tu use ubuntu 5.10 , but my ethernet card is an AMD PCnet home Based, the configuration is ok, but I can't conect..This car have two ledges to show its activity, but both appear inactive. I've aready tryed the comend sudo ifconfig eth1 up ..but still does'nt work
[04:30] <rude_CE> car*card
[04:30] <doff> GionnyBoss, I've alredy changed power management settings some time ago but don't remember if rebooted or not) I use totem + gstreamer 10
[04:31] <doff> GionnyBoss, but have gxine installed too, I'll try to use it thanx
[04:31] <GionnyBoss> doff, xine is better than gxine
[04:31] <GionnyBoss> a LOT better
[04:31] <DeL3e7> totally
[04:31] <GionnyBoss> doff, give Xine a try ;)
[04:31] <nfearnley> figured it out. I was searching for 'kernel-headers-2.6'. It's under 'linux-headers-2.6'.
[04:31] <cables> Has anyone had problems with acidrip and x264? It just exits with "mencoder was interrupted"
[04:31] <DeL3e7> the firefox gxine plugin always crashes on me
[04:32] <billy> when I reconfigure my xserver, there's a line that allows me to indicate how much RAM my graphics are given.  I've never set it to anything, but I have 8megabytes enabled in my BIOS.  Can I edit xorg.conf to reflect this?
[04:32] <Evil_`> hm, what happens if something happens and I get a 'fork bomb'
[04:32] <DeL3e7> heh those are cool
[04:32] <DeL3e7> it'll lock up or severly slow down the machine
[04:32] <nkayhan> Hi, I just installed the new ubuntu herd, and it comes with compiz.  Because I think I wan't to switch back to Beryl, I wanted to remove compiz.  When I do this, I am told that ubuntu-desktop is going to be removed as well.  What's the deal, and can I have both beryl and compiz on a system.
[04:32] <Ashex> billy, what video card do you have?
[04:32] <Evil_`> DeL3e7, he told me there isn't a way to stop it
[04:33] <DeL3e7> cause multiple instances of nothing keep spawning its never endind
[04:33] <nalioth> billy: if you like.  keep a backup of your existing xorg.conf for safety
[04:33] <billy> Ashex: I use an Intel.
[04:33] <DeL3e7> there is
[04:33] <Evil_`> how?
[04:33] <DeL3e7> u can set a limits
[04:33] <Ashex> billy, laptop?
[04:33] <DeL3e7> /etc/limits or somethin
[04:33] <billy> nalioth: yes, I do that everytime I mess with it. :)
[04:33] <DeL3e7> lemmie look real fast
[04:33] <billy> Ashex: no, a desktop.
[04:33] <Evil_`> ok, thanks DeL3e7
[04:33] <rude_CE> I 'm trying tu use ubuntu 5.10 , but my ethernet card is an AMD PCnet home Based, the configuration is ok, but I can't connect..This card have two ledges to show its activity, but both appear inactive. I've aready tryed the command sudo ifconfig eth1 up ..but still does'nt work
[04:34] <DeL3e7> http://gentoo-wiki.com/SECURITY_Limit_User_Processes
[04:34] <Ashex> billy, make sure it's the actual ram size. That seems insanely low for a video card. What's the model of the computer?
[04:34] <doff> GionnyBoss, how to control volume in Xine from keyboard?
[04:34] <Ashex> sounds like a manufactured computer
[04:34] <GionnyBoss> doff, V and Shift + V
[04:34] <ray_> is there a way I can unzip an entire directory of zip files in one shot?
[04:34] <nkayhan> Can both beryl and compiz be installed at the same time?
[04:34] <billy> Ashex: I built it myself.  It's an integrated motherboard.  Perhaps I'm not using the correct terminology.
[04:34] <DeL3e7> i'd go with limiting the proccesses
[04:35] <c0nv1ct> ray_: sure, just use *.zip
[04:35] <diminthedam> hello, i am trying to install zfone on edgy and it fails saying i need libipq
[04:35] <diminthedam> . but where do i get this package?
[04:35] <doff> GionnyBoss, thx
[04:35] <ray_> gunzip dir/*.zip ?
[04:35] <GionnyBoss> doff, go on the settings for keys in Xine, there are a lot of interesting keys (you can change Audio/Video offset, subtitle offset and a lot of cool things directly from the keyboard)
[04:35] <Ashex> billy, I see what you mean. double check the actual video ram of the onboard video card. An 8MB video card existed in the 90's
[04:35] <c0nv1ct> yeah
[04:35] <ray_> ty
[04:35] <DeL3e7> its cool they give u a demo forkbomb :(){ :|:& };:    if run in terminal, expect slowdowns and errors
[04:35] <c0nv1ct> or just unzup
[04:35] <Xenguy> ray_: unzip
[04:35] <kitche> billy: yea you cna set it to 8 megs but it's in kilobytes of what xorg.conf sees but that's weird that it's 8 megs mine is 16 megs onboard I have it disabled though
[04:35] <c0nv1ct> unzop*
[04:35] <c0nv1ct> wtf, unzip
[04:35] <lkthomas> guys
[04:35] <c0nv1ct> cant type for crap
[04:35] <DeL3e7> might need a reboot
[04:36] <lkthomas> does ubuntu got a program to config Xwin ?
[04:36] <DeL3e7> but other then that it cant harm your computer
[04:36] <LordLimecat> rawr

[04:36] <LordLimecat> so how long till nvidia stops making my gaming suck with shitty drivers
[04:37] <Evil_`> DeL3e7, I asked for help on lampp, cause I get errors and he told me to put '){ :& };:' but I didn't...and I waslike "AH WHATS HAPPENING!!?" and he said lolForkBomb....
[04:37] <Evil_`> Btw, should I make a limits file..if I don't have one?
[04:37] <DeL3e7> heh
[04:37] <DeL3e7> thats evil
[04:37] <rude_CE> I 'm trying tu use ubuntu 5.10 , but my ethernet card is an AMD PCnet home Based, the configuration is ok, but I can't connect..This card have two ledges to show its activity, but both appear inactive. I've aready tryed the command sudo ifconfig eth1 up ..but still does'nt work

[04:38] <AaronMT> terminate their process by getting their id
[04:38] <LordLimecat> he wants a process manager
[04:38] <ray_> nkayhan: have you tried using the synaptics package manager?
[04:38] <Takmadeus> I just got ukubuntu 6.06 CD

[04:39] <c0nv1ct> it worked for me jdhoreotg
[04:39] <nkayhan> ray_:cool
[04:39] <chief> i got beryl working by the way =) had to do a fresh install and it all worked great.
[04:39] <LordLimecat> careful with force quit
[04:39] <LordLimecat> its dangerous :D
[04:39] <Xenguy> GionnyBoss: xkill
[04:39] <lkthomas> LordLimecat, is it have any program to config Xwindows ?
[04:39] <Xenguy> ?
[04:40] <LordLimecat> xwindows?
[04:40] <Takmadeus> please, I wanna add kubuntu to ubuntu
[04:40] <billy> i'm going to go and see exactly how the BIOS phrases it.  I'll be back in a moment.
[04:40] <slv> is beryl worth playing with on a 1.2 ghz athlon with 256 mb ram and a geforce3?
[04:40] <GionnyBoss> Xenguy, but I can't go back from fullscreen ... it happened to me... I just did Ctrl+alt+backspace, but doing so I close all the session :(
[04:40] <Xenguy> lkthomas: dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg (going from memory)
[04:40] <lkthomas> LordLimecat, I got two monitor and I want it to have two seperate desktop
[04:40] <LordLimecat> slv--try it, it should work
[04:40] <ray_> c0nv1ct: unzip dir/*.zip is returning "caution: filename not matched: filenames
[04:40] <nkayhan> takmadeus: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[04:40] <LordLimecat> lkthomas: i think theres a way in beryl to set up 2 desktopps, but i dunnno :9
[04:40] <LordLimecat> :(
[04:40] <slv> LordLimecat - i'm pretty sure it'll work but i was just wondering if it would run decent
[04:40] <c0nv1ct> hmm
[04:41] <LordLimecat> it should :D
[04:41] <slv> onyl one way to find out i guess
[04:41] <Xenguy> GionnyBoss: hrm too bad; could try dropping to Alt-Ctrl-F6, logging in, using 'ps' to find process, and 'kill'ing it
[04:41] <c0nv1ct> you typing the full path to dir/*.zip?
[04:41] <LordLimecat> indeed
[04:41] <LordLimecat> stay away from blur
[04:41] <chief> slv, itll run okay, i ran it on a similar system before.
[04:41] <Takmadeus> nkayhan: I have a horrible dialup connction
[04:41] <LordLimecat> it=devil
[04:41] <ray_> c0nv1ct: I'm running the command right in the directory
[04:41] <Takmadeus> I cannot download that package
[04:41] <c0nv1ct> oh, then just do 'unzip *.zip
[04:41] <LordLimecat> xenguy--you can also use pgrep o.0
[04:41] <GionnyBoss> Xenguy, I see thanks... I didn't think about opening a new session like that. Thanks for the advice :)
[04:41] <c0nv1ct> or 'unzip ./*.zip'
[04:41] <Takmadeus> nkayhan: just install it from the CD
[04:41] <ray_> ray@afterlife:~/games/nes$ unzip *.zip
[04:42] <nkayhan> takmadeus: ok, well that's how you'd do it, do you have a kubuntu cd?
[04:42] <tjs> just picked up a nice mini pc from tha friend, have thrown xubuntu on it and will be using it as a fileserver for my wife (she has alot of photos), so I've configured samba etc, it will be running headless. My question is, as its a blackbox, is there anything I should do to make it resilient to power-on/power-off usage? thats how Id like her to use it, press the button, its on, press it again, its off
[04:42] <Takmadeus> nkayhan: yes
[04:42] <lufis> Anyone know if the dst change is automatically fixed in ubuntu?
[04:42] <nkayhan> takmadeus: OK, that cd has a ton of packages, open them up in synaptic
[04:42] <Evil_`> lol, i'm gonna make sure that I did this right, if I didn't where is the reset button they are talking about?
[04:42] <ray_> c0nv1ct: same error with unzip ./*zip
[04:43] <jdhoreotg> well...IT WORKED! THANK YOU c0nv1ct !!!!
[04:43] <c0nv1ct> does 'ls *.zip' show anything?
[04:43] <ray_> yes
[04:43] <martyvis> tjs: if it is ATX with softpower it should "just work"
[04:43] <ray_> 700 or so zips
[04:43] <GionnyBoss> I can't change file association from Nautilus. I think there is a BUG. I try to click on another app, but it behaves like I didn't click on that. That's make me angry. Any advices?
[04:43] <martyvis> tjs: press the power button (not hold) it should shutdown - i think
[04:43] <tjs> martyvis: cool :)
[04:43] <Xenguy> ray_: cd to the dir with the zip files; for i in *zip; do unzip $i; done
[04:43] <Xenguy> ray_: and be prepared for a fscking mess ;-)
[04:43] <ray_> lol, thanks :D
[04:43] <Xenguy> ray_: but your files will be unzipped
[04:43] <nkayhan> takmadeus: did you add the cd as a reprosry
[04:43] <crdlb> lufis, yes
[04:44] <martyvis> tjs: i think it is controlled by /etc/inittab - not sure
[04:44] <flafla> Hello guys I did a "rm -rf $HOME/.gnome2/totem" and now my totem play is very choppy.  can anyhilp help me get Totem working properly again?
[04:44] <ray_> I just need the roms out of the zips, and I don't want to do it one by one
[04:44] <lufis> crdlb: cool, thanks :)
[04:44] <tjs> martyvis: I'll try it out :)
[04:44] <ray_> and then I can rm -f *.zip to remove the zips when I'm finished?
[04:44] <slyfox> Does Cron work with #!/bin/sh  scripts ?
[04:44] <Xenguy> ray_: yep
[04:44] <Evil_`> I'm gonna try this forkbomb, to see ifI did the limits right.  Where is the reset-button they are talking about, incase I didn't do it right?
[04:44] <billy> The BIOS description reads "Select the amount of system memory pre-allocated by the Intel graphics device."  I have it enabled to 8MB.  Does xorg.conf need to reflect this?
[04:44] <Oli``> Is there a way to probe for PCMCIA hardware without restarting?
[04:45] <DeL3e7> hope that gets you on the right foot Evil_`
[04:45] <Evil_`> Thanks DeL3e7
[04:45] <Evil_`> I'm wary about trying it :P
[04:45] <ray_> Xenguy: that command isn't working
[04:45] <c0nv1ct> slyfox: it should
[04:45] <DeL3e7> worst comes to worse try killall
[04:45] <DeL3e7> or reboot
[04:45] <Xenguy> ray_: details
[04:45] <Evil_`> justthisguy, hit the power button? :P
[04:46] <DeL3e7> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_bomb
[04:46] <Evil_`> thanks <3
[04:46] <slyfox> c0nv1ct: is this something that is corrent if I make it exectuable?
[04:46] <slyfox> #!/bin/sh
[04:46] <slyfox> rsync -av /home/slyfox/Documents /media/battlestation/I/Backups/Current/Documents
[04:46] <ray_> bash: syntax error near unexpected token `*zip'
[04:46] <KeeNaF> hi guys .. why i cant streaming video using firefox?? I already install plug in for streaming ..please help me
[04:46] <c0nv1ct> slyfox: yeah it should run it as a sh script
[04:46] <Xenguy> ray_: I've seen that before and should know
[04:46] <Xenguy> ray_: hrm
[04:47] <Oli``> KeeNaF: isn't that a #firefox problem?
[04:47] <Krunk> I need to restore my MBR after a failed attempt of using GAG as a bootloader. I've tried fdisk /mbr to retore it to no avail. Is there an easy way to do tis - I would like to keep my present installation . .
[04:47] <Xenguy> ray_: could be something to do with spaces in filenames ?
[04:47] <ray_> it very well could be
[04:47] <ray_> a lot of them are awful long
[04:47] <ray_> maybe ext can't handle the long file names?
[04:47] <Xenguy> ray_: long file names is not a problem...
[04:48] <GionnyBoss> KeeNaF, mplayer plugin is simply the best.
[04:48] <KeeNaF> 0li`` | if it is the problem with firefox, then, what should I do? How to completely uninstall and reinstall it?
[04:48] <tovella> Krunk: did you make a backup of it?
[04:48] <Xenguy> ray_: spaces in filenames can be in certain situations
[04:48] <slyfox> c0nv1ct: Strange, the script works fine, but the program I use is Kron in KDE and it tells me that it cannot locate programs when I point it to thsi script
[04:48] <ray_> I see, well they all have spaces in the file names
[04:48] <Xenguy> ray_: how many files?  Just do them 1-by-1 if necessary
[04:48] <Krunk> lovella: After 6 years of linux . . . of course not!
[04:48] <ray_> it's around 700
[04:48] <evn> hi, i'm setting up a new server, and am not sure how to get software RAID 1 configured
[04:48] <GionnyBoss> KeeNaF, to see streaming video in firefox, install mplayer, get all the codecs and install mozilla-mplayer package for the plugin
[04:48] <KeeNaF> GionnyBoss | where to get mplayer plugin for streaming?
[04:48] <c0nv1ct> slyfox: in your script, did you make sure all commands use the full path?
[04:48] <Xenguy> ray_: or mv them to non-space filenames first?
[04:48] <evn> what should i choose at the partition screen?
[04:49] <flafla> Hello guys I did a "rm -rf $HOME/.gnome2/totem" and now my totem play is very choppy.  can anyhilp help me get Totem working properly again?
[04:49] <GionnyBoss> KeeNaF, it's mozilla-mplayer package. But you need to install mplayer first
[04:49] <ray_> how do I do that?
[04:49] <KeeNaF> I already installed mplayer
[04:49] <Takmadeus> nkayhan: yep, I added the CD as a repo
[04:49] <Xenguy> ray_: try this to kill the spaces in the filenames...
[04:49] <Xenguy> ray_: for i in *; do mv "$i" "`echo $i | tr ' ' '_'`"; done
[04:49] <GionnyBoss> KeeNaF, that's ok. Be sure to uninstall other video plugins (like totem mozilla plugin)
[04:49] <Oli``> KeeNaF: is your about:plugins showing the plugin?
[04:49] <GionnyBoss> KeeNaF, and be sure that you have all the codecs for mplayer
[04:49] <Xenguy> ray_: then do the previous 'for'
[04:50] <ray_> it's doing something
[04:50] <KeeNaF> how to uninstall totem?
[04:50] <ray_> we'll see how that works out, thanks
[04:50] <Xenguy> ray_: survey says...
[04:50] <slyfox> c0nv1ct: how do you mean ?
[04:50] <ray_> KeeNaF: sudo apt-get remove totem
[04:50] <ray_> Xenguy: still going there are a lot of file
[04:50] <KeeNaF> ok .. I try
[04:50] <Xenguy> jesus, black sabbath...
[04:51] <GionnyBoss> KeeNaF, just remove the plugin for totem! you can keep totem :) keep it
[04:51] <KeeNaF> erm
[04:51] <Takmadeus> Help please
[04:51] <IsaacNZ> Hi, I have downloaded the latest hd-media fiesty vmlinuz / initrd.gz and got them booting from a usb key - also downloaded herd-5 fiesty iso images for alternative and server and stuck them on the root of the key but when the installer gets to searching for iso's it does not find any? any tips??
[04:51] <KeeNaF> how to remove the plug in for totem? | GionnyBoss?
[04:51] <ray_> Xenguy: not working :\
[04:51] <GionnyBoss> KeeNaF, sudo apt-get remove totem-mozilla
[04:52] <DeL3e7> i guess evil forbombed himself
[04:52] <Oli``> Anyone know how to probe for new PCMCIA hardware without restarting?
[04:52] <ray_> mozilla won't play embedded mp3's either
[04:52] <flafla> My totem player has started working like crap, it is playing very choppy and faster pace than normal with no sound.   This just started happening for no reason... can someone help me?
[04:52] <KeeNaF> k wait .. I try
[04:52] <Xenguy> ray_: define
[04:52] <GionnyBoss> KeeNaF, but first go in Firefox and type about:plugin in the address bar and see which plugin you have for streaming. Remove that plugin and then install mozilla-mplayer
[04:52] <ray_> Xenguy: it hasn't renamed any of the files, and has hung
[04:52] <slyfox> c0nv1ct: how do you mean ?
[04:52] <Xenguy> ray_: wtf?
[04:53] <stiv2k> help i am getting an "Operation not supported" ioctl when testing my wpa_supplicant configuration
[04:53] <ray_> ray@afterlife:~/games/nes$ for i in *; do mv "$i" "`echo $i | tr ' ' '_'`"; done
[04:53] <Xenguy> ray_: that recipe was foolproof for replacing filenames with spaces with underscores
[04:53] <chief> anyone know anything about nicotine on linux?
[04:53] <tovella> IsaacNZ: i did something similar with edgy.
[04:53] <ray_> Xenguy: I don't doubt your method
[04:53] <c0nv1ct> slyfox: what is the exact error you are getting?
[04:53] <Xenguy> ray_: if it is hanging there is something else wrong
[04:54] <Xenguy> ray_: any errors?
[04:54] <Xenguy> ray_: logs?
[04:54] <ray_> nope
[04:54] <KeeNaF> GionnyBoss .. I typed about:plugin in address bar but it showed not valid and cannot be accessed
[04:54] <JasonDM> I'm switching to KDE, and I was wondering if there should be anything to worry about after the switch
[04:54] <ray_> cursor moved to the next line and is just blining
[04:54] <GionnyBoss> KeeNaF, about:plugins sorry
[04:54] <IsaacNZ> tovella, did it use iso images or did you copy the contents of the iso directly to the key?
[04:54] <tovella> IsaacNZ: i had to decompress the iso and copy the contents onto the key.
[04:54] <fizzmahon> hey guys, just installed a 80gb hard drive formatted FAT32 so that i can use it in linux and my windows boot, but how do i get linux to see it
[04:55] <stiv2k> help i am getting an "Operation not supported" ioctl when testing my wpa_supplicant configuration
[04:55] <ray_> Xenguy: hm
[04:55] <ray_> Xenguy: the filenames all now have / in them
[04:55] <JasonDM> help, beryl keeps crashing my x session?
[04:55] <tovella> IsaacNZ: i also had to modify isolinux.cfg
[04:55] <kitche> JasonDM: #ubuntu-effects for beryl help or #beryl
[04:55] <IsaacNZ> tovella, ok cool I'll try that method - I think I found instructions for that - I was trying the installer/hd-media images method which searches for full .iso images to load
[04:55] <ray_> Xenguy: actually my stupidity, I did dir instead of ls
[04:56] <woooooodsy> hi
[04:56] <ray_> woooooodsy: hi
[04:56] <KeeNaF> GionnyBoss | how to know that is a plugin for streaming? I saw a lot of them there
[04:56] <slyfox> c0nv1ct: Here http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/741/snapshot10fh9.jpg   it may not tell you much
[04:56] <woooooodsy> i just installed ubuntu!
[04:56] <woooooodsy> it works great
[04:56] <DeL3e7> Evisnt it great
[04:56] <GionnyBoss> KeeNaF, is there a totem plugin in there?
[04:57] <KeeNaF> yes
[04:57] <woooooodsy> :)
[04:57] <c0nv1ct> slyfox: and the path to the sh script is correct?
[04:57] <billy> So if I have 8MB enabled in my BIOS should I add an "Option    VideoRam     8000" line to my xorg.conf?
[04:57] <c0nv1ct> slyfox: cuz thats what the error looks like to me
[04:57] <flafla> My totem player has started working like crap, it is playing very choppy and faster pace than normal with no sound.   This just started happening for no reason... can someone help me?   Totem is important to me... I don't want to have to reinstall Linux again to get back to a properly working desktop...
[04:57] <GionnyBoss> KeeNaF, ok so delete the totem plugin ... open a console and write 'sudo apt-get remove totem-mozilla'
[04:57] <tovella> IsaacNZ: are you using isolinux or GRUB on you key drive?
[04:57] <ray_> Xenguy: do you know any NES emulators that can read the contents of a zip file?
[04:57] <ray_> Xenguy: like nesticle does in windows
[04:58] <ray_> I've used dosbox to run nesticle, and it runs too slow
[04:58] <billy> flafla, it's bad form to repeat your questions verbatim.  try different ways of asking. especially reducing the number of words you use.  that may help.  a friendly criticism.
[04:58] <flafla> ray_ www.zophar.net
[04:58] <KeeNaF> GionnyBoss | I have vlc plugin, totem plugin, realplayer g2, windows media player, quicktime plugin,
[04:58] <stiv2k> does the hostap driver on the ubuntu server CD come with WPA support?
[04:58] <flafla> totem not work... help
[04:58] <billy> :)
[04:58] <IsaacNZ> tovella, grub with manual commands to load kernel / initrd
[04:59] <KeeNaF> GionnyBoss | k .. totem mozilla removed ..
[04:59] <slyfox> c0nv1ct: the problem is the space, it should be like this /home/slyfox/Program\ Files/Scripts/KDE.sh
[04:59] <ray_> I don't see why unzip *.zip doesn't work :\
[04:59] <IsaacNZ> tovella, root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz initrd /boot/initrd.gz boot root=/dev/ram rw --
[04:59] <GionnyBoss> KeeNaF, ok. You said you have mplayer. Have you got all the codecs to see all kind of video?
[05:00] <GionnyBoss> KeeNaF, if you don't, download this : http://www2.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/essential-20061022.tar.bz2
[05:00] <ekul1> !theme
[05:00] <ubotu> Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy
[05:00] <c0nv1ct> slyfox: yeah, you might want to relocate the script and try it again
[05:00] <Takmadeus> anyone has been able to install ubuntu+kubuntu from CD?
[05:00] <c0nv1ct> ray_: thats weird, cuz i know i've used tar to untar a bunch at once before
[05:00] <billy> flafla, try using totem-xine instead of totem-gstreamer.  sudo apt-get remove --purge totem totem-gstreamer & sudo apt-get install totem-xine
[05:00] <IsaacNZ> tovella, boots fine - mounts all the accessible drives fine, searches for iso's and despite them being on the root of the key does not find them
[05:01] <c0nv1ct> ray_: i dont see why unzip shouldnt work the same way
[05:01] <rock_lobster> Anybody using Ubuntu Ultimate...?
[05:01] <ray_> me neither, it just returns that error
[05:01] <Takmadeus> anyone has been able to install ubuntu+kubuntu from CD?
[05:01] <slyfox> c0nv1ct: it works now. thank you.
[05:01] <ray_> c0nv1ct: and I'm not coming up with anything conclusive from googling
[05:01] <billy> never heard of that rock_lobster
[05:01] <JasonDM> rock_lobster, I'm using the ubuntu ultime gamer edition thing thing
[05:01] <rock_lobster> http://ubuntusoftware.info/
[05:02] <JasonDM> ultimate, even
[05:02] <LiENUS> ultimate gamer edition?w
[05:02] <GionnyBoss> KeeNaF, done it? If you don't have the codecs for mplayer, download the archive I told you and extract it in /usr/lib/win32
[05:02] <LiENUS> th?
[05:02] <LiENUS> wth
[05:02] <kid6> I just reinstalled edgy and my internet is the sucks.  I am getting 10KB/s tops... around 5KB/s mostly.  Before my internet worked great.  I have broadcom wireless and used a newer version of howto to get it working
[05:02] <pavs> is uname -a the only way to know if i am using a 32 or 64bit version of linu
[05:02] <pavs> is uname -a the only way to know if i am using a 32 or 64bit version of linux
[05:02] <Xenguy> ray_: sorry, you are way out there on a scale of how to make a simple thing complicated :-/
[05:02] <kid6> anyone ahve any ideas why internet would suck so bad?
[05:02] <JasonDM> yeah, comes with a crapload of games
[05:02] <ray_> Xenguy: I'm noob, sorry
[05:02] <crimsun> pavs: no. dpkg --print-architecture
[05:02] <tovella> IsaacNZ: i used the liveCD.  it used /casper/vmlinuz by default, but i had to modify it - isolinux on vfat.
[05:02] <ray_> Xenguy: maybe an emulator for NES that can read .zips?
[05:02] <rock_lobster> JasonDM, have you been trying to use wireless? For some reason, it recognizes my wireless card as that when I run it live on the dvd, but after installing, it tells me it's a wired card.
[05:02] <KeeNaF> GionnyBoss | downloading da codec now
[05:02] <KeeNaF> :)
[05:02] <GionnyBoss> KeeNaF, and once you have the plugins... 'sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer' to install the mplayer plugin. And that's it. It should work
[05:02] <ray_> gcfe doesn't read the roms inside the zips
[05:02] <Xenguy> ray_: no
[05:02] <JasonDM> I don't use wireless
[05:03] <JasonDM> I never liked the idea of wireless, honestly ;x
[05:03] <Xenguy> ray_: that is absolutely not necessary; this is actually very simple
[05:03] <ray_> sucks, zsnes will read inside the zips :\
[05:03] <rock_lobster> In my situation, it's wireless or run a cable all the way across my house :S
[05:03] <GionnyBoss> KeeNaF, ok. If you don't have a dir /usr/lib/win32, creates it. 'sudo mkdir /usr/lib/win32'
[05:03] <Xenguy> ray_: it's a fscking zip file, that's all
[05:03] <KeeNaF> GionnyBoss | ok .. tq .. just extract in /usr/lib/w32?
[05:03] <JasonDM> of course zsnes reads inside zips
[05:03] <pavs> crimsum it tells me my hardware, i wanted to know if i am using 32 or 64 ubuntu, i downloaded both i forgot which one i installed
[05:03] <GionnyBoss> KeeNaF, yes
[05:03] <KeeNaF> GionnyBoss | ok .. noted .. I will with
[05:03] <KeeNaF> :)
[05:03] <IsaacNZ> tovella, ok thanks for your info - going to reboot to try again
[05:03] <JasonDM> pavs, are you using gnome?
[05:04] <tovella> IsaacNZ: best of luck.
[05:04] <Xenguy> ray_: unzip is your friend, and that's all I've got to offer at this point (other than kill the spaces in your filenames)
[05:04] <pavs> jasondm yes
[05:04] <billy> goodnight everyone.
[05:04] <JasonDM> Go to Applications - > System Tools -> Sysinfo
[05:04] <GionnyBoss> KeeNaF, when you have extracted it, 'sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer' to install the plugin. Sorry but I should leave now. I did this thing on all my computers and it worked. So... good luck :)
[05:04] <ray_> :\
[05:04] <JasonDM> under general info, it will show you your kernel version
[05:04] <Evil_`> lol, I don't think the limits worked too well -.^
[05:05] <JasonDM> for example, mine is : 2.6.17-11-386
[05:05] <Takmadeus> help
[05:05] <LiENUS> captain america died :(
[05:05] <pavs> jasondm there is no system tools
[05:05] <pavs> i am using edgy
[05:05] <crimsun> pavs: it's really straightforward.
[05:05] <KeeNaF> GionnyBoss | ok .. tq very much
[05:05] <KeeNaF> GionnyBoss | now traying
[05:05] <KeeNaF> :)
[05:05] <crimsun> pavs: dpkg --print-architecture returns the build
[05:05] <JasonDM> there is no system tools under "Applications" ?
[05:05] <GionnyBoss> to see the kernel version, 'uname -r' ... it's faster :P
[05:05] <DeL3e7> heh
[05:05] <crimsun> pavs: i386 for ia32, amd64 for amd64.

[05:05] <DeL3e7> maybe you got the syntax wrong
[05:06] <dabaR> never mind
[05:06] <JasonDM> crimsun, is 686 also 64 bit?
[05:06] <pavs> crimsum, i thought it was giving me the achitecture of my hardware
[05:06] <crimsun> JasonDM: no
[05:06] <Dumahen> how can i use my bind as default name server ?
[05:06] <JasonDM> ;/
[05:06] <posingaspopular> anyone want to helpme install flash on a live cd? the documentation is giving me a headache and being impossible. i downloaded and extracted the .tar.gz but it's supposed to be a shell script which wont run in the konsole or terminal
[05:06] <posingaspopular> help?
[05:06] <crimsun> pavs: no, it returns the arch of the install, not the hardware
[05:06] <pavs> crimsum thank u
[05:07] <xEllioT> ubuntu is so tight.
[05:07] <ray_> I'm getting so frustrated :\
[05:07] <Dr_willis> Is tight good or bad?
[05:07] <Dr_willis> I forget..
[05:07] <xEllioT> good, lol.
[05:07] <dabaR> I got a new digital camera. My old digital camera worked so that I connect it, and then I mount /dev/sda1. Now I get "mount: special device /dev/sda1 does not exist". What can I try?
[05:08] <Xenguy> hah
[05:08] <Dr_willis> dabaR,  check dmesg output. it may not be sda1 could be some other sd##
[05:08] <arrenlex> dabaR: Disconnect it. dmesg | tail. Then connect it. dmesg | tail again.
[05:08] <arrenlex> dabaR: Compare the output to see the new event.
[05:09] <Takmadeus> any way to install Kubuntu desktop on ubuntu from the CD
[05:09] <ray_> I want to shoot unzip :|
[05:09] <kitche> Takmadeus: umm just boot to ubuntu and do sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[05:09] <dabaR> ohci_hcd and address 2
[05:09] <sparr> the only thing i regret about moving from debian to kubuntu is ubuntu's release schedule  :(
[05:09] <dabaR> what is that?
[05:09] <dabaR> I mean, what is that in terms of device nodes?
[05:10] <Takmadeus> kitche: does not work.... worked with edubuntu tho
[05:10] <sparr> Takmadeus: from the CD, no.  from the internet, or from a kubuntu CD, yes.
[05:10] <DeL3e7> Evil_`, it must be that ubuntu doesnt use that limits file, i dunno how to go about implementing limits
[05:10] <ratbert90> help! Has anybody actually got lirc to work on feisty?
[05:10] <dabaR> Oh, oh.
[05:10] <Evil_`> DeL3e7, oh :(
[05:10] <Takmadeus> sparr: i just got the kubuntu CD
[05:10] <Evil_`> DeL3e7, only way a fork could happen is for the user on my computer to enter it, correct?
[05:10] <Evil_`> Cause i'm the only one that uses this computer
[05:10] <dabaR> It was sda. Thank you.
[05:11] <DeL3e7> yeah
[05:11] <JasonDM> omg
[05:11] <JasonDM> rofl
[05:11] <Evil_`> ok, then I should be ok
[05:11] <ray_> Xenguy: unzip '*.zip' has worked
[05:11] <Evil_`> Thanks for your help, DeL3e7
[05:11] <ray_> Xenguy: but it broke terminal D:
[05:11] <DeL3e7> u'd need to implement some sort of security program
[05:11] <poningru> esy as lame
[05:12] <poningru> wtf
[05:12] <Takmadeus> sparr: i just got the kubuntu CD
[05:12] <Xenguy> ray_: I like elegant solutions (that looks like one, except for the broken terminal, whatever that is)
[05:12] <DeL3e7> its funny eh? like u try to killall but you cant run anything
[05:12] <DeL3e7> cause ram is eaten up
[05:13] <DeL3e7> like a nuclear reaction
[05:13] <Evil_`> I did it, and it said ': | :' done
[05:13] <Evil_`> or something like that
[05:13] <ratbert90> or has anybody actually got lirc to work on a new kernel?
[05:13] <Xenguy> ray_: actually I don't see why this wouldn't work: unzip *.zip
[05:13] <Evil_`> but I still lagged like crazy
[05:13] <zack-glennie> I'm having issues with grub.  The bootloader wouldn't run (error code 15, I think) so I booted a LiveCD.  I'm trying to install grub, but it's not working at all.
[05:13] <ray_> Xenguy:  and it seems to have only have unzipped half the zips

[05:13] <Xenguy> ray_: is your hardware old?
[05:13] <ray_> Xenguy:  no brand new laptop
[05:14] <Xenguy> ray_: hrm, scratch that theory
[05:14] <arrenlex> Xenguy: That won't work because the shell expands that wildcard.
[05:14] <ray_> Xenguy: probably PEBKAC
[05:14] <pavs> just to let everyone know netgear WG511T is the best wireless card you will get for ubuntu works right out of the box no configuration needed whatsoever
[05:15] <Xenguy> ray_: all I know is that this should be very simple: eliminate spaces in filenames, and do a 'for' loop to unzip all the files (or whatever simpler invocation works for you)
[05:15] <ray_> I got it to work, but it's forgettingthe first 400 files
[05:15] <arrenlex> Xenguy, ray: unzip "*.zip"
[05:16] <Xenguy> arrenlex: maybe "*.zip"?  and don't we want the wildcard expanded?
[05:16] <Xenguy> arrenlex: OK, makes sense
[05:16] <arrenlex> Xenguy: That's what I just said, yep.
[05:17] <Xenguy> arrenlex: right
[05:17] <arrenlex> Xenguy: And no, not by the shell, because then zip interprets them as arguments for files to take out of the first archive.
[05:17] <stiv2k> help i am getting an "Operation not supported" ioctl when testing my wpa_supplicant configuration
[05:17] <ray_> arrenlex: that worked
[05:17] <arrenlex> Xenguy: We want to pass the wildcard to zip, which will handle it properly as the first argument.
[05:17] <arrenlex> ray_: Yep. yw.
[05:17] <ray_> arrenlex: thank you, may I ask what the " does?
[05:18] <Xenguy> arrenlex: nod
[05:18] <Dr_willis> zip/unzip is one of the few programs ive seen that take their own wildcards that way. :)
[05:18] <arrenlex> ray_: Prevents bash from expanding *.zip. So instead of the zip command receiving "zip <hugelistoffiles>" and trying to extract the rest of the files from inside the first archive, it recieves "zip *.zip", which it then expands and unzips.
[05:18] <Dr_willis> in fact i think its the only program ive seen that does it that way
[05:18] <ekul1> !desktop
[05:19] <ubotu> The available desktop environments in Ubuntu are Gnome (ubuntu-desktop), KDE (kubuntu-desktop), Xfce (xubuntu-desktop), IceWM, Fluxbox, WindowMaker (wmaker), FVWM  and others.
[05:19] <ray_> arrenlex:  I see, than you
[05:19] <arrenlex> Dr_willis: apt is the same way. Wildcards for apt-get have to be quoted too.
[05:19] <ray_> 2225 archives were successfully processed.
[05:19] <ekul1> Whats the best desktop everyone?
[05:19] <arrenlex> !best | ekul1
[05:19] <crdlb> ekul1, windows
[05:19] <ubotu> ekul1: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[05:19] <Dr_willis> arrenlex,  when would one use wildcards for apt-get?   you mean apt-get install "gnome-*" works?

[05:20] <ekul1> the only one apart from KDE and Gnome i've heard of is WindowMaker, so maybe ill give that a whirl
[05:20] <crdlb> ekul1, you could also give xfce a try
[05:20] <Dr_willis> ekul1,  best depends on what your needs are.

[05:21] <Dr_willis> arrenlex,  stimulate? sounds perverted. :)
[05:21] <arrenlex> Dr_willis: simulate :) learn to read.
[05:21] <Dr_willis> arrenlex,  and here i thought you had a dirty mind...
[05:21] <ekul1> if WindowMaker isnt a desktop, what is it?
[05:21] <arrenlex> Dr_willis: It means, "pretend I ran apt-get install, except I just want to see what happens, so only print what you would DO, and don't actually run apt-get install"
[05:21] <ekul1> Thanks I will try xubuntu next i think, yeh
[05:22] <Xenguy> is there an easy winner?
[05:22] <Dr_willis> Windowmaker is a window manager i guess.. since its not a 'full' desktop. :)
[05:22] <scv> is NextStep a desktop?
[05:22] <arrenlex> Dr_willis: But making the switch --pretendIranapt-getinstallexceptIjustwanttoseewhathappenssoonlyprintwhatyouwouldDOanddon'tactuallyrunapt-getinstall wouldn't be very useful.

[05:46] <arrenlex> KeeNaF: What happens if you run the command: mplayer http://fredrik.hubbe.net/plugger/test.mpg
[05:47] <devilsreject> its not on synaptic package manager?/

[05:47] <stiv2k> help i am getting an "Operation not supported" ioctl when testing my wpa_supplicant configuration and i just cant seem to connect
[05:47] <toNt> yeah more than likely, unless its installed by default, i dont have it
[05:47] <KeeNaF> arrenlex | i got blank page ..
[05:47] <arrenlex> KeeNaF: Are you sure you ran the command, rather than clicking on the link?
[05:48] <KeeNaF> wait .. I try to restart my laptop 1st
[05:48] <devilsreject> arrenlex ---- how do i find that its not coming up in synaptic package manager
[05:48] <ekul1> ahh
[05:48] <arrenlex> devilsreject: You need multiverse enabled.
[05:48] <ekul1> trying to see if i can find the terminal installation thing for it

[05:49] <devilsreject> arrenlex i know their divided into several sections how do i know what repositories to add
[05:49] <arrenlex> devilsreject: Add multiverse
[05:50] <cerealkiller219> Can someone verify these instructions: http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Restore_Grub
[05:50] <JasonDM> yay
[05:50] <ekul1> toNt: wget http://albertomilone.com/ubuntu/nvidia/scripts/envy_0.8.1-0ubuntu6_all.deb

[05:51] <FunnyLookinHat> JasonDM, got it working, yea?
[05:51] <toNt> now bare with me
[05:51] <arrenlex> cerealkiller219: That looks like a guide for the text-based config of the alternate CD. You probably have the desktop liveCD and should follow this guide instead:

[05:51] <FunnyLookinHat> JasonDM, you might have to mess with your settings for a bit... but at least you have an interface again  : )
[05:51] <toNt> if i cant get into X, can i type that if i start in recovery mode?
[05:51] <JasonDM> ;] 
[05:51] <toNt> arrenlex: har har
[05:51] <cerealkiller219> tyvm arrenlex
[05:51] <JasonDM> too bad, though
[05:51] <JasonDM> such a nice monitor settings interface, and it doesn't work for me ;[

[05:52] <toNt> sorry
[05:52] <devilsreject> 'arrenlex --- i know this is a really stupid question, ive been readin about multiverse  today but how do i "install" multiverse?

[05:53] <firefly2442> Does Beryl replace Gnome or is it a separate system?  Can Beryl run under KDE?
[05:53] <arrenlex> devilsreject: Here, pretty pictures: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#head-5bbef89639d9a7d93fe38f6356dc17847d373096
[05:53] <KeeNaF> arrenlex | k .. still doesnt works
[05:53] <JasonDM> firefly2442, from what I understand, it runs with it
[05:53] <crdlb> firefly2442, beryl is a window manager
[05:53] <devilsreject> nevermind didn't realize there was  direct link
[05:53] <devilsreject> sorry lol
[05:53] <arrenlex> firefly2442: beryl replaces the window manager (metacity in gnome, kwin in kde), not the desktop environment. Yes, beryl can run under gnome, KDE, xfce, fluxbox, or anything else you can think of.
[05:53] <JasonDM> well, over it
[05:53] <firefly2442> ok thanks :)
[05:54] <JasonDM> if beryl crashes, it goes back to the default window manager ;] 
[05:54] <JasonDM> or it ends your x session like it does to me
[05:54] <arrenlex> firefly2442: Look at the top of your window. See the titlebar, with the familiar _OX buttons? Move your windows around. See how they move? Your window manager handles those features.
[05:54] <JasonDM> http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu_Edgy_with_nVidia
[05:55] <arrenlex> firefly2442: Look at your desktop, panels, menus, configuration utilities, etc. That's part of the desktop environment. Beryl has nothing to do with that.
[05:55] <firefly2442> Anyone know where I can get high quality video demonstrations of Beryl?  Higher resolution than YouTube?  It's for a research project....
[05:55] <JasonDM> ^^would that work for me? (using the Kubuntu install script)
[05:55] <firefly2442> arrenlex: gotcha, that's a good explanation thanks :)
[05:55] <arrenlex> firefly2442: Install it and take sreenshots. :)
[05:55] <firefly2442> arrenlex: it doesn't play nice with my ATI card :(
[05:55] <c0nv1ct> firefly2442: yeah, what better for the project, but to install it yourself?
[05:55] <arrenlex> !fglrx | firefly2442
[05:55] <ubotu> firefly2442: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:56] <firefly2442> I tried the ATI drivers already, Beryl just crashed
[05:56] <arrenlex> firefly2442: Did you install xgl?
[05:56] <c0nv1ct> has ATI ever played nice with linux?
[05:56] <arrenlex> c0nv1ct: Well, my card runs like a dream... using the free drivers. :)
[05:56] <firefly2442> arrenlex: I believe I tried AIGLX because that was recommended on the beryl WIKI
[05:56] <therapy> firefly2442:  i runs just fine with my ati card...
[05:56] <devilsreject> arrenlex --- i already had it checked.. but everything in software sources ubuntu 6.10 tab is checked should something be unchecked?
[05:57] <arrenlex> firefly2442: ATI doesn't work with aiglx. ATI requires xgl.
[05:57] <c0nv1ct> my last ATI card was the 9700, and it didn't work well back then
[05:57] <firefly2442> oh, well I'll have to give it another shot then :)
[05:57] <KeeNaF> arrenlex | this is my plugins for mozilla .. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9190/
[05:57] <arrenlex> Use the guides, firefly2442.
[05:57] <arrenlex> !beryl | firefly2442
[05:57] <ubotu> firefly2442: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[05:57] <devilsreject> w8 a min there we goez
[05:57] <arrenlex> devilsreject: apt-get install mplayer
[05:58] <firefly2442> what about live CD distros that could demo it? would that be easier?  I just need video at the moment
[05:58] <c0nv1ct> arrenlex: does your Xgl use mad resources when you play movies with beryl on?
[05:59] <arrenlex> c0nv1ct: I don't use beryl or xgl. The free drivers aren't good enough for beryl, but they're good enough for mupen64 and screensavers, which is all I need.
[05:59] <c0nv1ct> ah ok
[05:59] <arrenlex> KeeNaF: apt-get remove mozilla-plugin-vlc
[05:59] <shriphani> guys is common lisp preinstalledd ubuntu ?
[06:00] <shriphani> preinstalled ^
[06:00] <noodles12> what n64 emulator you guys recommend?
[06:01] <devilsreject> w8 i think i got it to wok through synaptic package manager
[06:01] <arrenlex> noodles12: mupen64! :)
[06:02] <devilsreject> arrenlex --- look i know ive been botherin u but the hole reason i stopped usin ubuntu b4 and went back to linux (was usin ubuntu hoary for a lil over a year) was cuz i couldn't copy dvds i still cant get anything to work k9copy would freez up on me when i would click the "open" button just to select the dvd can u help me with this or give me a link that can?
[06:02] <arrenlex> c0nv1ct: Oh, the answer to your question is yes, it should, because xgl disables acceleration of any kind except what it itself uses. So you can't run any games or watch any movies with acceleration, either 3D or 2D, when running xgl.
[06:02] <noodles12> arrenlex: thanks i'll check it out
[06:02] <arrenlex> c0nv1ct: So it has to do it all by software, which takes mad resources.
[06:02] <arrenlex> c0nv1ct: Which is why aiglx is preferable to beryl.
[06:02] <JasonDM> wish me luck
[06:03] <firefly2442> devilsreject: try acidrip?
[06:03] <arrenlex> devilsreject: To make an exact copy of a DVD onto another DVD?
[06:03] <noodles12> arrenlex: is that in the ubuntu repos?
[06:03] <c0nv1ct> arrenlex: ahh, i should look into switching to aiglx then
[06:03] <devilsreject> arrenlex -- yeah movie dvds
[06:03] <arrenlex> noodles12: No. I had to compile it myself.
[06:03] <arrenlex> c0nv1ct: aiglx doesn't run with fglrx at all.
[06:03] <devilsreject> arrenlex --- damn shouldn't mplaer be showing up under audio video now that its installed>
[06:03] <arrenlex> c0nv1ct: Get an nvidia card. :)
[06:03] <noodles12> arrenlex: boo!
[06:03] <c0nv1ct> fglrx is for ATI though right?
[06:03] <c0nv1ct> yeah, i got nvidia
[06:04] <bikini> whats the better way to run windows applications on 6.10? wine or VM?
[06:04] <arrenlex> devilsreject: Can you run it through the command line?
[06:04] <c0nv1ct> the 9700 pissed me off, not going ATI anymore :P
[06:04] <noodles12> bikini: it would depend on what
[06:04] <arrenlex> devilsreject: dd if=/dev/dvd of=/tmp/somefile
[06:04] <arrenlex> devilsreject: ...please wait...
[06:04] <c0nv1ct> i was the idiot who bought the 9700 right when they came out, with the very first 8x agp mobo
[06:04] <arrenlex> devilsreject: ...put in blank DVD...
[06:04] <arrenlex> devilsreject: dd if=/tmp/somefile of=/dev/dvd
[06:04] <c0nv1ct> man was that a hassle
[06:04] <arrenlex> :)
[06:05] <jrandolph> hi hi everyone
[06:05] <devilsreject> k
[06:05] <devilsreject> blank dvd is in
[06:05] <st3ph> Can anyone help with a Gnome loading problem? It runs but I have neither upper nor lower panels. It happened after I installed a theme, I think. KDE works fine, but Gnome does not. I've tried deleting the newly installed theme and icon sets in .themes and .icons, but this has not solved the problem. Any suggestions?
[06:05] <arrenlex> c0nv1ct: Buying things when they come out + linux = aaaaugh
[06:05] <bikini> noodles12: dreamweaver 8, flash 8 pro, photoshop cs2. i have a dual core cpu with 512 mb of ddr2.
[06:05] <arrenlex> devilsreject: Maybe I should make that more clear.
[06:05] <c0nv1ct> arrenlex: lol, linux was the least of the problems, i couldnt even get it to POST, took over 24 hours to fix that
[06:05] <devilsreject> dd: opening `/tmp/somefile': No such file or directory
[06:05] <noodles12> bikini: whoaaa.. um you might need other people to chime in, but i believe if those run in wine. then wine is better because you won't have to completely install windows.
[06:06] <arrenlex> devilsreject: 1. put in DVD to copy 2. run dd if=/dev/dvd of=/tmp/somefile 3. Remove DVD to copy, insert blank DVD, 3. run dd if=/tmp/somefile of=/dev/dvd
[06:06] <noodles12> bikini: you shoudl check on teh wine website to see which ones are compatible or have decent peformance in wine
[06:06] <noodles12> !wine
[06:06] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[06:06] <devilsreject> k thats what i thought just a sec
[06:06] <c0nv1ct> arrenlex: how difficult is it to switch to aiglx? should i just wait for feisty?
[06:06] <TheGrapeOfWrath> i need someone to walk me through getting my wusb54g to work with ubuntu, id be great if someone could help
[06:06] <srbaker> yo
[06:06] <jrandolph> so i want to start exaile when my computer starts up, and i want it to play music automatically. i don't think it has an option that i can call it with to make it just start, so i want to write a script and have that run on start up. so i'm going to do:
[06:06] <arrenlex> c0nv1ct: You can't with an ATI card.
[06:06] <jrandolph> exaile
[06:06] <jrandolph> exaile --play
[06:06] <c0nv1ct> arrenlex: i already said i have nvidia :)
[06:06] <JasonDM> Beryl is working great ;] 
[06:06] <srbaker> what's the best suspend/resume supported laptop currently?
[06:06] <jrandolph> but i can't get the second command to wait for the first
[06:07] <stiv2k> help i am getting an "Operation not supported" ioctl when testing my wpa_supplicant configuration and i just cant seem to connect
[06:07] <bikini> noodles12: i checked the wine app database thing and it seemed like it'd work. i have my laptop dual booted with xp right now... and i'd really rather not install windows all over again.
[06:07] <arrenlex> c0nv1ct: Oh, did you? I can't read... aiglx is already part of ubuntu, nothing to configure. Just make sure to start plain X instead of xgl, and thne you can just install beryl right away.
[06:07] <devilsreject> devilsreject@DevilsReject:~$ run dd if=/dev/dvd of=/tmp/somefile
[06:07] <devilsreject> bash: run: command not found
[06:07] <arrenlex> devilsreject: Run was a command to you, not to bash. xD
[06:07] <devilsreject> hehe
[06:07] <arrenlex> devilsreject: Aaaaugh, you are impossible.
[06:08] <c0nv1ct> arrenlex: alright, i'll give it a shot, and see if it runs better
[06:08] <noodles12> bikini: yea then i woudl suggest using wine
[06:08] <devilsreject> sorry
[06:08] <noodles12> bikini: is your copy of XP legit?
[06:08] <arrenlex> srbaker: The only one that has even sort of worked for me is sudo powersave -U
[06:08] <KeeNaF86> arrenlex | sorry .. problem with connection
[06:08] <devilsreject> arrenlex -- i installed mplayer and it never showed up in my applications menu or antying do i need to do anything else?
[06:08] <bikini> noodles12: yeah it is actually. but i dont have the cd anymore.
[06:08] <srbaker> arrenlex: what laptop?
[06:08] <jrandolph> i'm trying to write a script that opens a media player, then makes it play... so it's 2 commands, but i can't get the second command to wait for the first one to finish
[06:08] <phatmaster> hey guys, I'm a newb, but I tried dual booting ubuntu with xp and I get "error 22"
[06:08] <idiot> just looking for some information on getting access to usb drives plugged into my laptop.  whats the easiest way?
[06:08] <arrenlex> devilsreject: If you launch from the command line, does it find it?
[06:08] <DeL3e7> im tryin to make a package from source and im getting an ncurses error, ncurses is installed must be missing somethin? any ideas
[06:08] <noodles12> bikini: there is a way to use vmware to open up your current xp install. but i believe you have to activate it again so may not be fo ryou
[06:08] <arrenlex> srbaker: toshiba satellite r20 tablet
[06:09] <firefly2442> Are there any good high-res video screen capture software for Ubuntu?
[06:09] <EADG> Thanks for all the help today guys. I can now copy/paste with screens in ftp, ssh, and stream music/videos via ftp. :)
[06:09] <srbaker> cool
[06:09] <srbaker> thx
[06:09] <arrenlex> jrandolph: Why don't you just use a command-line media player? xD
[06:09] <jrandolph> phatmaster, i'm really new too... i got dual boot up and working pretty easy by installing xp first
[06:09] <bikini> noodles12: do you know where theres documentaion of that method? i could probably get some program to tell me my serial code again..
[06:09] <silya> Hi all! After installing nvidia modules everything orks fine! But, after reboot... "(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module! Please ensure...." Reinstalling helps, but reboot crahses all again :( What is wrong?
[06:09] <arrenlex> jrandolph: Also, even for a GUI player, you should just be able to put in a straight link.
[06:10] <devilsreject> arrenlex -- yeah it runs it in the command prompt
[06:10] <DeL3e7> checking for main in -lcurses... no
[06:10] <phatmaster> well, apparently I have a problem because I have an asus p5b, so everything messes up
[06:10] <phatmaster> but I was at least able to boot from the cd
[06:10] <phatmaster> I completed the installation
[06:10] <arrenlex> DeL3e7: apt-get install libncurses5-dev
[06:10] <jrandolph> arrenlex i looked at the man for exaile, but i didn't see anything... umm... command line media player... can you give me an example?
[06:10] <noodles12> bikini: yea let me find the bookmark. my problem was that when i booted in vmware. it noticed the virtual hardware as "new" hardware so it wanted to activate again. when i boot into xp using dual boot.. same thing would happen. got quite annoying.
[06:10] <arrenlex> jrandolph: mplayer
[06:10] <phatmaster> but after it restarted it went into xp
[06:10] <phatmaster> I didn't get a ubuntu boot loader
[06:10] <phatmaster> so I had to use an external one
[06:10] <phatmaster> which was really slow
[06:11] <arrenlex> devilsreject: Does it give you a GUI, or does it just print things on the command line?
[06:11] <phatmaster> and when I eventually got to the boot loader and clicked linux
[06:11] <jrandolph> arrenlex: thanks... does that have radio stations too?
[06:11] <phatmaster> it loaded for a second then I got "error 22"
[06:11] <KeeNaF86> guys .. please help me .. I still cannot streaming video
[06:11] <arrenlex> jrandolph: Nope? It's just a plain media player for movie files.
[06:11] <devilsreject> command line
[06:11] <devilsreject> no gui
[06:12] <devilsreject> and i dl it from synaptic package man too
[06:12] <DeL3e7> thanx arrenlex  i swear i searched for that but now im seing results
[06:12] <noodles12> bikini: http://www.advicesource.org/ubuntu/Run_Existing_Windows_Instalation_On_Ubuntu_With_Vmware_player.html
[06:12] <arrenlex> devilsreject: And if you run "gmplayer"?
[06:12] <devilsreject> hahaha
[06:13] <devilsreject> i isntalled the non-gui version im a dumb@
[06:13] <arrenlex> devilsreject: That would explain it. =P
[06:13] <devilsreject> wow
[06:13] <devilsreject> yeah i hope this werx now
[06:13] <arrenlex> devilsreject: You don't need the gui version for the plugin anyway.
[06:13] <devilsreject> hrmm
[06:13] <phatmaster> would you guys have any idea what I'm doing wrong?
[06:13] <arrenlex> devilsreject: Run this: sudo apt-get install totem-mozilla- mozilla-mplayer
[06:14] <phatmaster> I have two problems, one...ubuntu doesn't seem to detect my windows xp installation so I get no boot loader and have to use my own, and two..I get error 22 when I try to boot
[06:14] <bikini> noodles12: thanks
[06:14] <st3ph> ...also, xfce has the same issue, which made me think it was a GTK issue, so I reinstalled all those packages through synaptic, but am still experiencing the same issue.
[06:14] <noodles12> bikini: np
[06:14] <phatmaster> I have an asus p5b board with core 2 duo e6600, an primary SATA hard drive, an IDE hard drive, and an external eSATA hard drive
[06:14] <devilsreject> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[06:14] <devilsreject> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[06:14] <phatmaster> I know that p5b is supposedly difficult to get working
[06:14] <devilsreject> sweet mplayers showin up in my applicatoins under sound and video
[06:14] <phatmaster> but I tried reading up on it and it looked like there were a few success stories
[06:16] <xerophyte> Does anybody use Quanta(IDE), if you do how can hide the hidden folder on the files view ?
[06:16] <devilsreject> arrenlex -- how do i set mplayer as my default player
[06:16] <vinboy> is there any swf player?
[06:16] <arrenlex> devilsreject: I don't use gnome.
[06:18] <barata> any xfce guru?  ---- my Alt-F2 only stays for a second then it kills itself .... WHY?
[06:18] <barata> and how to fix that?
[06:18] <c0nv1ct> barata: mine did that too, not sure why
[06:18] <c0nv1ct> barata: but i noticed if i logged in quick enough, it didnt switch back
[06:19] <Bored1ed> hello world
[06:19] <stiv2k> how can I tell if my wireless PCI card supports WPA-PSK or not?
[06:19] <stiv2k> help i am getting an "Operation not supported" ioctl when testing my wpa_supplicant configuration and i just cant seem to connect
[06:19] <barata> c0nv1ct .... did you recently installed gtk-qt integration libs stuffs?
[06:19] <arrenlex> Bored1ed: int main(void) { printf("Hello! :)\n");}
[06:19] <c0nv1ct> barata: i dont think so
[06:20] <Ademan> in the sound applet for ubuntu, shouldn't hte "master" slider affect ALL sound? because as of now it doesn't seem to do anything, whereas PCM does (and yes it's set to alsa)
[06:20] <Ropechoborra> Hi, im installin DSL (Damn Small Linux) on an USB, and i want it to have the APT-GET function (I dont know if already has it) but, if not, how can i do to install it?
[06:20] <crimsun> Ademan: that's not the sound applet's prerogative.
[06:21] <Ademan> well i guess alsa-mixer then?
[06:21] <barata> c0nv1ct ... do you also have KDE & Gnome in your system?
[06:21] <Ademan> regardless, shouldn't that be how it functions?
[06:21] <Madpilot> Ropechoborra, isn't there a DSL channel somewhere?
[06:21] <crimsun> Ademan: no.
[06:21] <c0nv1ct> barata: yes i do
[06:21] <Bored1ed> anyone do any cool things with their themes or anything?
[06:21] <c0nv1ct> barata: i think it only happened when i was in gnome, cuz it doesnt now in kde
[06:21] <crimsun> Ademan: not every driver has a 'Master'; expecting it to function that way is not something that can be resolved in feisty+1 or even feisty+2
[06:21] <devilsreject> still not palyin mpegs man
[06:21] <barata> okey .... the fact is that works .... only that it kills itself quickly in a second
[06:21] <Ropechoborra> Madpilot: dont know, but because i always used ubuntu, and it has the apt, maybe u could know how is that it works
[06:22] <Ademan> crimsun: ok, but is that the intended function of "master"?
[06:22] <crimsun> Ademan: hence why you can alter the mixer element that's adjusted via Properties
[06:22] <barata> ok .... that's what I think so too ... let me try to check gnome-center
[06:22] <crimsun> Ademan: that answer depends who you talk to
[06:23] <jrandolph> so i know i just got an answer for this question, but i'd really like to have exaile start playing on startup
[06:23] <devilsreject> i am just tryin to get my ubuntu to play  like any kind of video file   hopefully mpegs....
[06:23] <devilsreject> mplayer or totem arn't playing either
[06:23] <devilsreject> and iv'e installed the w32codecs
[06:23] <jrandolph> it doesn't look like there is a command line option for it... where can i find out for sure
[06:24] <mrcucumber> macs
[06:25] <pavs> !codecs

[06:26] <jrandolph> how can i get exaile to start playing on start up. i don't think there is a command line option to have it start playing. i can write a script that starts exaile, and then it toggles the play button... but i don't know how to make the second command wait for the first
[06:27] <anonymeeee> how do i edit grub?
[06:27] <barata> nano grub

[06:31] <Bored1ed> billy's grouchy
[06:31] <pavs> heh
[06:31] <Noah0504> Bored1ed: Yep.
[06:32] <billy> cypher1, it *was* working with the CD player and Xine, but now no sound at all.
[06:32] <jrandolph> so can i move the info about windows up in the grub file with out breaking anything? i'd like the windows boot options to be second (not last)
[06:32] <anonymeeee> Cypher1: thank you
[06:32] <billy> Boredled, not really grouchy.  a little irritated.
[06:32] <noiesmo> jrandolph, yes you can change the order
[06:33] <billy> You work hard to get things working, you install one more thing, and everything breaks.  good grief.
[06:33] <snowman3388> what kind of file type is .so?
[06:33] <cypher1> snowman3388, shared object file
[06:33] <Ademan> it's like a dll on windows
[06:33] <snowman3388> can I run it?
[06:33] <Ademan> no
[06:33] <Bored1ed> well im glad my Ubuntu has been working great for sometime now
[06:34] <Ademan> snowman3388: what are you trying to do?
[06:34] <anonymeeee> I have two partitions one with windows and one with ubuntu.   I'd like to get rid of the ubuntu partion, but it doesn't show up when I run the windows cd...
[06:34] <minttea> Is there a commandline based instant messanger, for AIM?
[06:34] <Noah0504> Ubuntu works perfectly for me as long as I use Dapper.  The newer Ubuntu releases hate my machine.
[06:34] <cypher1> billy, did you upgrade or make changes to sound subsystem recently ?
[06:34] <snowman3388> Ademan, trying to figure out how to install a health type program but the instructions are the most retarded thing I've ever seen
[06:34] <Bored1ed> noah: lol its the other way around for me
[06:35] <Ademan> snowman3388: generally executable files don't have an extension

[06:37] <minttea> monzie: Thanks, I'll check it out
[06:37] <Bored1ed> Billy: its ok...sarcastic remarks sometimes get those reactions ;)
[06:37] <Noah0504> Bored1ed: I started right when Breezy came out.  I timmed it perfectly without knowing, haha.
[06:37] <JasonDM> i'm getting a lot of static in amarok ;/
[06:37] <pavs> aoss
[06:38] <billy> Boredled:  that's true.  sometimes folks run in here a little frazzled.  Like me, just then, for instance.  My apologies.
[06:38] <noen> wow, it's a long time since I've been on IRC
[06:38] <Bored1ed> Noah: Yea I've used it for 2 years on and off while I was in college and just recently started learning more about Linux
[06:38] <Desp_> hi all
[06:38] <Frogzoo> JasonDM: use xine engine, not gstreamer
[06:38] <noen> I've used Ubuntu for about a week
[06:38] <Desp_> Iam trieng to install oidentd and i got this error ..configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
[06:38] <snowman3388> ademan, I think I figured it out;)
[06:38] <Desp_> how to fix it
[06:39] <Ademan> snowman3388: good job :-)
[06:39] <Noah0504> Bored1ed: Cool stuff.  It took me awhile before I made the complete switch from Windows.  I wanted to make sure I knew many of the beginning ropes.
[06:39] <noen> I'
[06:39] <snowman3388> ademan, thanks a lot though
[06:39] <pavs> how to execute .rpm files?
[06:39] <noen> l'll never make a complete switch, I'm locked in with certain apps
[06:39] <Ademan> pavs: that's a package file, you don't execute it
[06:39] <Bored1ed> Noah: Yeah I downloaded some books and video tutorials and I'm running good now
[06:39] <Ademan> pavs: are you trying to install a program?
[06:40] <DeL3e7> is the essential-build  package installed?
[06:40] <jrandolph> yay, i think i know the answer to a question!
[06:40] <pavs> ademan ubuntu doesnt support rpm by default?
[06:40] <dredhammer> does anyone know where to find a deb for vlc 0.8.6a for edgy?
[06:40] <Ademan> pavs: nope, uses *.deb (debian package manager)
[06:40] <Bored1ed> yea my Laptop is Ubuntu and my desktop is windows for gaming and video
[06:40] <pavs> ademan trying to install from rpm
[06:40] <Ademan> pavs: what program are you wanting though? i'll bet it's in the repositories
[06:40] <Dekaritae> Hai
[06:40] <sdrev> I just used Synaptic Package Manager to remove Rhythmbox, and it removed ubuntu-desktop...which looked kinda important, so I looked at it and it says it's recommended you don't remove it, how important is it to have ubuntu-desktop installed?
[06:40] <Noah0504> pavs: You'll need to convert it using "alien."  You can find that in the repos.
[06:41] <pavs> http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/projects/nspluginwrapper/#downloads
[06:41] <noen> be sure to check synaptic too
[06:41] <pavs> nsplugnwrapper
[06:41] <Bored1ed> Any of you guys use Automatix?
[06:41] <noen> desktop <--- pretty important
[06:41] <Dekaritae> Has anyone here experience making Plucker work on K/Ubuntu?
[06:41] <Bored1ed> whats a plucker? lol
[06:42] <dabaR> !ubuntu-desktop | sdrev
[06:42] <ubotu> sdrev: k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading.
[06:42] <jrandolph> so i want exaile to be one of my startup programs but i also want it to play automatically. i don't think there is a command line option to have it play on startup... but there is a command to have it play once it's open. how do i write a scrip that opens exaile then waits for it to be open, and then plays?
[06:42] <Cosmo__> been trying to but everything with their site keeps giving me a 404 error boredled
[06:42] <Noah0504> Bored1ed: I use to use it, until I realized I could install a lot on my own.  I also feel dirty when something else messes with my sources.list.
[06:42] <Dekaritae> Bored1ed: Document subscription service for PalmOS devices
[06:42] <Ademan> pavs: well you're either gonna have to use alien to convert the rpm to a deb, OR compile from source, unfortunately
[06:42] <Dekaritae> Like iSilo but open source
[06:42] <Bored1ed> Noah: lol never thought of it like that
[06:42] <JasonDM> Frogzoo, I am using the xine engine ;/
[06:42] <dabaR> jrandolph: try exaile <filename> at the terminal.
[06:42] <sdrev> when I try to reinstall it, it wants to install rhythmbox...i don't really want rhythmbox installed, is there anyway i can install desktop without having rhythmbox?
[06:43] <Bored1ed> Dekaritae: thanks
[06:43] <Noah0504> Ahh!  I must pee, my bladder can't take it anymore.
[06:43] <pavs> ademan before this installation of ubuntu my previous installation i could install with rpm, i forgot how. but thanks anyways i am getting alien
[06:43] <Ademan> sdrev: you don't need the desktop package
[06:43] <Ademan> sdrev: all it does is include all of the default software
[06:44] <devilsreject> question [06:44] <sdrev> Ademan, ok, thanks
[06:44] <dabaR> pavs: did you read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=341727
[06:44] <Ademan> devilsreject: just download a burner program, you should already be good to go (i reccomend k3b or graveman)
[06:44] <dabaR> sdrev: no.
[06:45] <devilsreject> Please replace the disc in the drive with a supported disc with at least 7.5 GiB free.  The following disc types are supported

[06:51] <arrow> Cosmo__: no problem, welcome to linux
[06:52] <billy> not sure if all applications are meant to do that, gesus.  are you wanting something like a dock to launch programs?

[06:52] <ratbert90> hello, could somebody send me their rc.local scripts?  I just deleted mine on accident. :(

[06:53] <noen> EADG <---- Avidemux
[06:53] <metal03> billy : thanks...  trying it right now...  but my version is in french (installing it for my dad!!) so I'm not sure!!  but thanks
[06:53] <billy> arrow, not sure.  What is Azereus, again?
[06:53] <noen> not sure how great it is
[06:53] <dabaR> minttea: sudo aptitude update?
[06:53] <billy> metal03, you're welcome.  I don't know French.  One time openoffice installed in Greek fonts.  That was a trip.
[06:53] <minttea> dabaR: I've tried this as well
[06:53] <ratbert90> please?
[06:54] <arrow> billy: a bittorrent client, when you close it it doesn't really close,
[06:54] <Steil> is there a way to route sound from one computer to output on another?
[06:54] <dabaR> minttea: then you did not add universe properly, most likely. No worries, paste your /etc/apt/sources.list file to paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[06:54] <arrow> billy: I think I have to add something to the toolbar, but I'm not sure what
[06:54] <billy> arrow: oh yes, a bittorrent.  those stay open so other users can download the files FROM your computer.
[06:54] <gesus> billy, dabaR: i was thinking of Evoltuion email or of XChat, I'd like to be able to do it with those.  So it's not something you can just 'turn on' in ubuntu?
[06:54] <ubmx> Steil you could try SSH X forwarding
[06:55] <dabaR> gesus: not that I know. And I do not use either of those programs, so I do not know whether they have that functionality.
[06:55] <gesus> dabaR, np thanks
[06:55] <minttea> dabaR: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9192/
[06:55] <billy> arrow: you can shut the client down with the System Monitor > processes.
[06:55] <CarlF1> how do I pair a bluetooth mouse?
[06:55] <arrow> thx
[06:56] <dabaR> minttea: please tell me what "cat /etc/issue" outputs.
[06:56] <ratbert90> I guess not
[06:56] <billy> gesus:  I don't think that you can just "turn on" program to the notification area like that.
[06:56] <dabaR> CarlF1: mine just worked.

[06:56] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[06:56] <Steil> ubmx: well i already have that, but some programs can't run on my desktop (which has the speakers hooked up), so they have to run locally on my laptop
[06:56] <omeil> I'm still wonderign what looks better kubuntu or ubuntu :) the KDE kinda looks like a windows setup and the gnome setup is ..different.
[06:56] <CarlF1> I found "Bluetooth devices", hit scan, see it listed, but the mouse won't gout out of discovery mode.  ill read the link
[06:57] <dabaR> minttea: thanks. Do you have a reason to have strange repos, or did it just happen?
[06:57] <dabaR> omeil: the only way to find out is to try both.
[06:57] <billy> omeil:  I like them both.
[06:58] <gesus> billy, ok thanks
[06:58] <minttea> dabaR: I added a few of them from the centericq.de website to see if that was the reason aptitude couldn't find the centericq package
[06:58] <omeil> i guess
[06:58] <Purple13> can I run ubuntu with a SATA harddrive
[06:58] <omeil> its jsut that i like them both too lol :D don't know which to choose.
[06:58] <dabaR> minttea: OK. I will paste what I have, which is all officially and community supported repositories for Ubuntu.
[06:58] <omeil> i think i used the KDE setup on mandrake
[06:59] <billy> gesus:  I think someone wrote a program like that for Thunderbird.  Can't remember.  It'd be a good alternative though, I guess, if you were interested.  I came across it by googlelinux'ing "Thunderbird background"
[06:59] <billy> Purple13, Yes.  I'm doing so now.
[06:59] <nothlit> what and how is the 'users' group used? (gid 100)
[06:59] <bullgard1> Purple13: Yes you can. At least it works with me.
[06:59] <Purple13> can I run ubuntu with a SATA harddrive>>>ST3200820AS
[06:59] <noen> in fact, linux can boot to a raid array, I believe
[07:00] <Purple13> I am having trouble
[07:00] <dabaR> minttea: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9193/ all binary repositories enabled, all source repositories commented out. That is what I have for myself, and is the best setup for an average user, I think.
[07:00] <billy> Purple13,  You *may* need the "alternate" install CD, NOT the LiveCD.  That's how it was for me at least.
[07:00] <Purple13> no optiuon to install on live c
[07:00] <bullgard1> Purple13: I don't know. Give it a try with Ubuntu 7.04.
[07:00] <Purple13> cd*
[07:00] <billy> Purple13,  You *may* need the "alternate" install CD, NOT the LiveCD.  That's how it was for me at least.

[07:02] <gesus> cool, thanks billy.  hey when this new version of ubuntu (fiesty or whatever) comes out, will you just be able to 'upgrade' or will you  have to reformat and reinstall everything?
[07:02] <ZetO> sep
[07:02] <noen> nada
[07:02] <cacus> nalioth, hi! i would like yo register cacus as my nickname, it's expired... could you help me?
[07:02] <ZetO> [dabaR]  si hablo espaol
[07:02] <billy> Purple13, http://releases.ubuntu.com/edgy/ubuntu-6.10-alternate-i386.iso
[07:03] <dabaR> ZetO: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o  #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[07:03] <dabaR> ZetO: /j #ubuntu-es
[07:03] <omeil> how do i download java? i tried through the add/remove area. but it gave me 2 broken packages :(
[07:03] <nalioth> !tell omeil about java
[07:03] <ZetO> [dabaR]  son users o algunos clones o bots?
[07:03] <nalioth> omeil: you left the classroom  :)
[07:03] <nalioth> ZetO: ingles aqui, por favor
[07:04] <billy> gesus, I'm not going to upgrade to Feisty right away.  I'll let a few others try it out for a month or so and see how things fare.  If it seems to be painless, I'll upgrade.  But I'm happy with Edgy as she is now.
[07:04] <ZetO> [nalioth]  Okas
[07:04] <noen> I wish I could run linux and windows both at the same time on the same OC
[07:04] <noen> PC
[07:05] <jseattle> thats not nice
[07:05] <billy> noen, you can with virtualization software.
[07:05] <gesus> billy, so no idea if it will be an 'upgrade' you can run or if it will be a full overhaul?
[07:05] <noen> and I don't mean with Wine,
[07:05] <billy> noen, me neither.
[07:05] <noen> I looked into that billy
[07:05] <billy> noen, OK.  nevermind then.
[07:05] <ZetO> [dabaR]  they are users, bots or clones?
[07:05] <noen> but that cost money rigth?
[07:06] <noen> or did you mean Xen?
[07:06] <billy> gesus:  yeah.  I haven't a clue.  I'm really excited about the release though.  I think the driver for my CPU that I use now is only an approximate fit, though it works.  I bet Feisty will support it exactly.
[07:06] <jseattle> nalioth, what do you mean don't speak spanish.... look where you live!!!
[07:06] <billy> noen, No.  They don't cost money.
[07:07] <nalioth> jseattle: join #ubuntu-offtopic please
[07:07] <dabaR> ZetO: I do not know, they speak spanish.
[07:07] <nalioth> ZetO: perhaps #ubuntu-ar might be of help
[07:08] <noen> I need to be able to run Modo  on the bare metal, the rest I suppose could be virtualized
[07:08] <ZetO> [dabaR]  of which pais is?
[07:10] <omeil> nalioth: :( in this guide for java it says for ubuntu 6.10 to install from the packages in the list..
[07:10] <Cosmo__> ok I got it mounted now the page says to add /dev/hda1    /media/windowsdrive   ext3(since the drive is in ntfs format would I replace this with ntfs?)    defaults     0        0 to the etc/fstab  is that how I should put it?
[07:10] <nalioth> omeil: join me in #ubuntu-classroom please
[07:11] <billy> noen, http://xhtml.net/breves/313-Running-Windows-XP-from-within-Linux
[07:11] <pavs> YOOOOO i got flash working on 64bit :))) yessssss!!!!!
[07:12] <billy> noen, as always I recommend turning JavaScript OFF before going to an unknown website.  Or download noscript extension for Firefox.
[07:12] <MaartenLx> Heh, I got a VMware machine for Windows 2003 Server in Linux ubuntu, it actually works quite nice :)
[07:12] <ratbert90> hello, could somebody send me their rc.local scripts?  I just deleted mine on accident. :(

[07:17] <billy> darkgreen:  you can search repositories in the shell using "sudo apt-cache search 3D game engines".  Or you can open Synaptic and perform a search.

[07:17] <billy> darkgreen| :  i know the feeling.  try not to become discouraged.
[07:18] <Ropechoborra> Hi, is there a way to lock tty while they are doing things (like updateing.. or things like that) ??
[07:18] <noen> I'm sure that Gimp can handle a fram, not sure about video though
[07:18] <noen> frame I mean
[07:18] <slv> darkgreen| try happypenguin.org, it's a site about gaming on linux but there's some open 3d engines on there
[07:18] <slv> maybe you'll find something
[07:18] <noen> Isn't "crystal3D" a 3d Game engine?
[07:19] <noen> I think it is
[07:19] <dabaR> Ropechoborra: why lock? so someone can not use them?
[07:19] <Ropechoborra> dabaR: yes, for example i let things doing and i go away, and dont want anyone to see or touch anything
[07:19] <devilsreject> i have a problem, i can't play dvds @ all
[07:20] <devilsreject> it gives me an error not able to read my dvd drive
[07:20] <Cosmo__> to automaticly mount the drive at boot it say ok I got it mounted now the page says to add this to /etc/fstab     /dev/hda1 /media/windowsdrive ext3(since the drive is in ntfs format would I replace this with ntfs?) defaults 0 0
[07:20] <Ropechoborra> Like locking the X but tty
[07:20] <devilsreject> but it detects what the name of the movie in it is
[07:21] <noen> you know Devil, DVDs are so heavily encrypted these days that I've had trouble playing them on a plain windows box.
[07:21] <billy> darkgreen| : did you look at this page --> http://www.devmaster.net/engines/list.php?fid=6&sid=11
[07:21] <dabaR> Ropechoborra: and can you not run the thing in the background with &? I think it would be the same...
[07:21] <devilsreject> noen -- this shouldn't be a prob though its an old seinfeild episode dvd
[07:21] <Ropechoborra> dabaR: dont know what is or how to do it :S

[07:21] <ubotu> ascii: interactive ASCII name and synonym chart. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.8-3 (edgy), package size 15 kB, installed size 72 kB

[07:22] <billy> darkgreen| : I don't know much about what you're looking for.  Those aren't in Synaptic, but they are for Python.
[07:22] <ekul1> !tm
[07:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tm - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:22] <Ropechoborra> dabaR: well i got an idea of what it is, but never done it yet
[07:22] <ekul1> how do i get TM?
[07:22] <dabaR> Ropechoborra: try in a terminal. Run a command, and put a & at the end of the line.
[07:22] <CAP8871> Olas alguna mujer ?
[07:22] <dabaR> :-/
[07:22] <ekul1> the trademark sign, i mean

[07:23] <devilsreject> well im off 2 bed
[07:23] <devilsreject> night
[07:23] <dabaR> Ropechoborra: fg 1
[07:23] <Ropechoborra> fg 1 ?
[07:23] <billy> darkgreen| :  hmm...  have you yet tried opening a thread in ubuntuforums.org ?
[07:23] <Ropechoborra> i just type that?
[07:23] <darkgreen|> billy, nope, I will!
[07:24] <billy> darkgreen| : good folks in that forum.
[07:24] <noen> Devil, if you were on a PC i'd tell you to go here http://www.imgburn.com
[07:24] <noen> but for linux I dont' know
[07:25] <Ropechoborra> dabaR: Ok, i got it !  thanks! :)
[07:25] <meborc> noen, what is the difference between a PC and a linux machine :D
[07:25] <meborc> ?
[07:25] <Ropechoborra> dabaR: one last thing, if i have the process already runing, how i can put it in background ?
[07:26] <cypher1> Ropechoborra, Ctrl-Z i think
[07:26] <CAP8871> shit
[07:26] <dabaR> Ropechoborra: ctrl-z, then bg 1
[07:26] <CAP8871> not woman
[07:26] <noen> just the OS
[07:26] <CAP8871> [noen]  ??
[07:26] <dabaR> Ropechoborra: there is a little issue. when ran in the background, if you close the terminal, such as typing exit, the program quits too.
[07:26] <meborc> noen - PC (personal computer)... whatever the OS
[07:27] <CAP8871> [noen]  bot
[07:27] <dabaR> Ropechoborra: to avoid that, you can prepend the command with nohup, and that will make the command keep running even after the terminal is closed.
[07:27] <Ropechoborra> Uhmm
[07:27] <noen> <-- not a bot
[07:27] <Ropechoborra> And i also see that the process dont run while in bkgrownd
[07:27] <dabaR> noen: ^ not asking for help
[07:27] <christian1222> if ive got a disk that is being used, and i want to umount it without quitting the app that is using it (counter strike install), how do i unmount the disk?
[07:28] <c0nv1ct> u cant?
[07:28] <CAP8871> [noen]  and you speak spanish ?
[07:28] <Ropechoborra> dabaR: prepend ? nohup? (sorry for my english)
[07:28] <noen> no I can't,
[07:28] <dabaR> Ropechoborra: it should run. If you ctrl-z, then you stop it. But, then you run bg 1, and it should start running again.
[07:28] <c0nv1ct> christian1222: i dont think its possible to unmount something that is in use
[07:28] <c0nv1ct> christian1222: and i dont see why it would be possible
[07:29] <dabaR> prepend means to put in front. so, for example, "nohup updatedb &"
[07:29] <rope> exit
[07:29] <c0nv1ct> christian1222: it'd be like trying to exit your car while on the freeway doing 60, it'd get messy
[07:29] <christian1222> c0nv1ct: so im running the counter strike install in wine, and it is requesting that i remove disc 1 and replace it with disc 2, but i can tremove the disk without aborting the installation, what do i do?
[07:29] <Cosmo__> and no gurantee of survival  =)
[07:29] <c0nv1ct> oh, a CD?
[07:29] <Ropechoborra> dabaR: but if i dont want it to stop?
[07:30] <dabaR> christian1222: and you tried to use the umount command?
[07:30] <c0nv1ct> you should be able to, you have to unlock it, and i forget the command
[07:30] <dabaR> Ropechoborra: do not want it to stop right away, or after you close the terminal.
[07:30] <dabaR> ?
[07:30] <christian1222> dabaR: yes
[07:30] <dabaR> christian1222: what did it say?
[07:30] <christian1222> umount2: Device or resource busy
[07:30] <christian1222> umount: /media/cdrom0: device is busy
[07:30] <christian1222> umount2: Device or resource busy
[07:30] <christian1222> umount: /media/cdrom0: device is busy
[07:30] <Ropechoborra> dabaR: i just want to let it running while the terminal is closed (or locked) and when i come back see the changes
[07:31] <jrandolph> i'd like to set up my rm command to move stuff to the trash instead of actually deleting it. where is the trash located from my root directory?
[07:31] <noen> http://www.crystalspace3d.org/main/Main_Page
[07:31] <tonyyarusso> jrandolph: $HOME/.Trash
[07:31] <noen> "Crystal Space is our main project. It is a free cross-platform software development kit for realtime 3D graphics."
[07:32] <christian1222> dabaR: ?
[07:32] <dabaR> Ropechoborra: running in background should do it. so something like updatedb &
[07:32] <christian1222> could i suspend wine, would that work?
[07:33] <MTecknology> I was wondering, can biometrics be used with smart card systems?
[07:33] <lori> hi all :). does anyone here know how to set up an app called WifiRadar?
[07:33] <dabaR> jrandolph: /home/jrandolph/.Trash
[07:33] <dabaR> jrandolph: tell me how you will do it.
[07:33] <jrandolph> thanks
[07:33] <lori> hi nuup.
[07:34] <lori> nm
[07:34] <christian1222> how do i find out which process is using cdrom0?
[07:34] <dabaR> christian1222: lsof /dev/cdrom0
[07:34] <bulmer> lsof
[07:34] <bikini> noodles12, are you around?
[07:35] <samlo_> ! ati
[07:35] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:35] <samlo_> ?? ati
[07:35] <christian1222> dabaR: that gave me an error saying there is no such device
[07:35] <Ropechoborra> dabaR: Nop =( It justs stops, and it dies when i exit... well never mind, i guess im going to sleep, to tyred
[07:35] <Ropechoborra> Thanks! =)
[07:35] <lori> bulmer: I hope I'm not interrupting, do you have any info on wireless issues with ubuntu?
[07:35] <christian1222> dabaR: i tried running it with cdrom and it output nothing
[07:36] <dabaR> christian1222: what about /media/cdrom0?
[07:36] <bulmer> lori: umm not much, just from whatever I have read
[07:36] <christian1222> dabaR: nothing as well
[07:36] <lori> bulmer: ah. well, thanks for the response anyway :)
[07:36] <bulmer> lori: you have something specific?
[07:36] <dabaR> christian1222: run mount in aterminal, and show me what you get on paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[07:36] <lori> bulmer: yes.
[07:37] <christian1222> dabaR: k
[07:37] <lori> bulmer: I have an application i just installed called WifiRadar.
[07:37] <bulmer> lori: what is the problem with your wireless?
[07:37] <bulmer> lori: and what is that wifiradar supposed to do?
[07:37] <lori> It has been difficult for me to make a profile for my home wireless network in WifiRadar.
[07:38] <lori> bulmer: WifiRadar is supposed to be a network profile manager.
[07:38] <bulmer> lori: am not familar with wifiradar though, so i assume it has a config file to store profiles
[07:38] <christian1222> dabaR: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9195/
[07:38] <lori> I have been having a ton of difficulty with my wireless setup in Ubuntu.  The symptoms have been: takes a looong time to connect to my home network usually.  it uses WPA.
[07:39] <lori> bulmer: yes, it does have a place to store profiles.
[07:39] <dabaR> christian1222: oh ya, lsof /dev/hdc
[07:39] <bikini> does anyone know how to backup an mbr?
[07:40] <christian1222> dabaR: nothing
[07:40] <bulmer> lori: i myself have not been successful with connecting to a WPA enabled AP..my ACX111 chips does not have the wpa_supplicant
[07:40] <lori> When I am setting up my home profile, WifiRadar asks for a driver in order to use WPA.  I've tped the name of my driver but it doesnt seem to help.
[07:40] <dabaR> christian1222: then I do not know.
[07:40] <lori> bulmer: Ah.  oh well. maybe I'll have to change my setup then.
[07:40] <bulmer> bikini: you can use dd and make the size only 512 bytes
[07:40] <noen> lori <-- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=264349
[07:40] <lori> noen: Thanks :) I'll take a look
[07:41] <noen> info in that forum says you need to enable universe in synaptic
[07:41] <christian1222> dabaR: dang!
[07:41] <bikini> bulmer: i'm trying to use windows applications in vmware and this method says to backup my mbr with these two other files.
[07:41] <bikini> how should i go about doing that?
[07:41] <christian1222> dabaR: thanks for trying!
[07:41] <dabaR> christian1222: maybe it is documented somewhere, ask google about the game you are installing + ubuntu
[07:41] <lori> noen: i have enabled universe tho.
[07:42] <noen> oh
[07:42] <lori> :)
[07:42] <noen> sorry
[07:42] <christian1222> dabaR: thats what im trying now
[07:42] <bulmer> bikini: am not sure vmware has an mbr, it may be simulated MBR..not really familiar with it in depth
[07:42] <lori> noen: np at all.
[07:42] <noodles12> bikini: wassap?
[07:42] <pavs> ls /usr/bin /bin /sbin /usr/sbin |wc -l
[07:42] <pavs> check out this command
[07:43] <bikini> noodles12: i went to that site you gave me for the vmware emulation deal. it said to backup my mbr to a folder with those two files. how do i back it up?
[07:43] <bulmer> lori: i have not used WPA on windows either
[07:43] <bikini> noodles12: and is that method the one you used?
[07:43] <lori> noen: I'm still gonna look at that info, just in case it's got something i missed...
[07:43] <mistone> I asked this yesterday but I will ask again just incase someone else knows : does the xbox 360 wireless rieciever work in linux yet?
[07:43] <noodles12> bikini: yea that's the method i used. and let me check to see about that mbr ting. it's been a few weeks since i've done it
[07:44] <mistone> or is it a defualt joystick control?
[07:44] <bikini> noodles12: theres a dd command there, but anything concerning the mbr makes me nervous about fucking it up.
[07:44] <mistone> if it doesn't work I am going to try to write a driver for it I have no idea how hard that would be
[07:44] <bulmer> mistone umm..do you know what processor it has?
[07:44] <noen> to back up you MBR you'll need a disk editor like partition magic or some such app
[07:44] <mistone> no idea about any specs
[07:44] <lori> bulmer: It works on my windows side.  I dual boot on my laptop.  One side is windows xp and that side works pretty well for the wireless.  It just isnt working when i try to use the linux side...
[07:44] <c0nv1ct> christian1222: 'sudo sysctl dev.cdrom.lock=0' may unlock the cdrom, but i dunno about remounting it
[07:44] <pwnzorz> you guys seen this??? http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html
[07:44] <lori> pwnzorz: hi
[07:45] <pwnzorz> i'm installin ubuntu on windows!
[07:45] <bulmer> lori: on the windows side, you're also able to get WPA working? thats wonderful
[07:45] <mistone> but I just don't want to reinvint the wheel if it already can work as a standard something or someone is working on it
[07:45] <lori> pwnzorz: oooo!
[07:45] <pwnzorz> lori: hi
[07:45] <mistone> maybe I could even use linux-wlan-ng
[07:45] <mistone> I dunno
[07:45] <lori> bulmer: yep. it works ok, (for windows...)
[07:45] <noodles12> dd if=/dev/hda of=windowsxp.mbr bs=512 count=63
[07:45] <pwnzorz> heh?
[07:46] <noodles12> bikini: i'm pretty sure i just did that and it made a copy of it naming it "windowsxp.mbr" hopefully someone else in this room can confirm
[07:46] <lori> it's called Wubi??? Sounds like my daughters' blankie...
[07:46] <pwnzorz> I installed fglrx drivers, they didn't work, then i tried uninstalling them in recovery mode, and now kubuntu won't load!
[07:46] <noen> lol
[07:46] <lori> :)
[07:46] <pwnzorz> so i install ubuntu w/ wubi!
[07:47] <bulmer> mistone: umm maybe you can try getting to uclinux, or the analog devices blackfin embedded linux and take it from there? it has a parallel kernel development as desktop
[07:47] <lori> does it work well? fast and all?
[07:47] <pwnzorz> lori: wubi?
[07:47] <meborc> wubi is nice... but i'm afraid that when a lot of people start using it, linux is not an OS anymore, but just another windows program :(
[07:47] <pwnzorz> ...
[07:47] <lori> pwnzorz: sorry, yes: i meant does Wubi work well.
[07:47] <pwnzorz> ya, its exceptable...
[07:47] <noen> what the heck is Wubi?
[07:47] <pwnzorz> http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html
[07:47] <lori> lol
[07:48] <mistone> bulmer:  you mean run linux on the adapter?
[07:48] <mistone> that seems overkill
[07:48] <pwnzorz> i cant even install fglrx drivers, i'm a failure...
[07:48] <mistone> I just want the inputs to work
[07:49] <pwnzorz> hey when i install ubuntu, can someone join a vnc server and get install the drivers for me!!?
[07:49] <christian1222> now i cant quit the installer
[07:49] <bulmer> mistone: im not sure what you're referring to as just an adapter, am referring to embedded linux on small processors with minimum memory spaces
[07:49] <christian1222> how do i quit an installer if i already quit the term that i used to start it?
[07:49] <pwnzorz> ..plz
[07:49] <noen> So Wubi is Ubuntu virtualized?
[07:49] <pwnzorz> its a windows based installer...
[07:49] <bulmer> christian1222: you use ps aux and grep for that process then kill it
[07:50] <noen> But it runs on top of Windows?
[07:50] <meborc> wubi = windows ubuntu installer... the name is selfexplanatory

[07:53] <omeil> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9196/
[07:53] <yettenet> Can anyone tell me how to disable notifications of giving/taking voice in Konversation?
[07:54] <pwnzorz> check out dev-scene.com for the full list of everything ds homebrew-ish
[07:54] <mistone> yea I do
[07:54] <mistone> I have never seen a decent browser tho
[07:54] <mistone> ubuntu on DS would be the awesome
[07:54] <pwnzorz> including ds-linux (had to make it relevant... :)
[07:54] <billy> I'd like to run Windows in a virtual machine.  Anyone know of a good howto.  I'm looking at this one now.  --> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=361528&highlight=XP+virtual
[07:54] <pwnzorz> they got nano-x workin on dslinux...
[07:54] <DarrenSS> does anyone know the minimum specs for installing ubuntu?
[07:55] <mistone> billy: its damn easy
[07:55] <bulmer> stick-guy: you do have a /lib/firmware/`uname -r/  and this is where most wireless drivers are located
[07:55] <pwnzorz> i also got the retawq browser workin in dslinux
[07:55] <billy> mistone:  well hell yeah then.  LET"S TO IT>
[07:55] <lori> DarrenSS: Sorry I dont know that one.
[07:55] <DarrenSS> yeah i couldnt find them on the site anywhere - strange :/
[07:55] <pwnzorz> who has installed beryl/xgl
[07:55] <bulmer> DarrenSS: umm i dont know, but i can tell you it didnt install on an IBM thinkpad 600 with 92megs
[07:55] <Madpilot> DarrenSS, 128Mg RAM - more is better
[07:55] <billy> mistone:  it seems a good alternative to dual booting.  Do you know of a simple to follow howto.
[07:56] <stick-guy> bulmer: gracias
[07:56] <Madpilot> can't remember the min. spec for CPUs
[07:56] <pwnzorz> no one has installed beryl!
[07:56] <lori> noen: I looked at my repositories: i've already got universe checked.
[07:56] <pwnzorz> ...neither have i
[07:56] <DarrenSS> so i guess the trick is to try it and see? :P
[07:56] <mistone> I have its teh awesime
[07:56] <billy> pwnzorz:  what do you mean?  I got it now.
[07:56] <bulmer> stick-guy no problemo
[07:56] <stick-guy> bulmer: I actually don't have /lib/firmware/`uname -r`/, but I'll see what I can do with what I have
[07:56] <pwnzorz> ... *jealous*
[07:56] <mistone> billy: just mount the CD it is so easy you don't need a tourtial
[07:56] <DarrenSS> lucky its going on a test machine then ha ha
[07:56] <bulmer> DarrenSS: you can only learn from it..hehe
[07:56] <NKjoep> hi all
[07:56] <mistone> it depends on the VM you are using to
[07:56] <pwnzorz> i want to use myth tv it looks awesome...
[07:56] <billy> mistone:  don't I need some sort of virtual software?
[07:57] <lori> pwnzorz: do you have any experience with getting a wifi manager to work in ubuntu?
[07:57] <Geoffrey2> I installed the latest version of mplayer (1.0rc1), and the mozilla plugin for mplayer.....now I can get video when I play files on the internet, but I don't get any sound.....
[07:57] <pwnzorz> nah...
[07:57] <noen> Sorry Lori, that was my best guess, I'm pretty new to Linux
[07:57] <pwnzorz> my router broke all the sudden
[07:57] <lori> pwnzorz: shucks.
[07:57] <DarrenSS> indeed - i just wanted to try it out before i dual boot it on the pc im building - cos that will take months and i wanna play with it now :)
[07:57] <pwnzorz> i know, no more wifi!
[07:57] <lori> noen: no problem at all :) so am I.
[07:57] <billy> Geoffrey2:  what site are you testing it with?  could you provide the link for me?  I'd like to know if I have the same issue.
[07:57] <lori> i guess that's obvious tho...
[07:57] <pwnzorz> its really weird, when i plug my router in, it makes a high pitched sound...
[07:58] <pwnzorz> peice of !#$!@
[07:58] <dacks> ive since decided that ubuntu is no longer my distro of choice
[07:58] <pwnzorz> heh?
[07:58] <billy> dacks:  why is that?
[07:58] <noen> probably a bad sign pwnzorz
[07:58] <dacks> ive discovered gentoo
[07:58] <billy> I moved away and came back crying.
[07:58] <lori> pwnzorz: what router?
[07:58] <DarrenSS> wow really pwnzorz :S
[07:58] <pwnzorz> dacks: probably :)
[07:58] <dacks> gentoo is freakin awesome
[07:58] <Geoffrey2> billy, first site was www.imdb.com....now I'm at www.apple.com/trailers
[07:58] <billy> dacks:  if you like gentoo you should try Sabayon.
[07:58] <dacks> why
[07:59] <billy> it's gentoo with lots of eye-candy ... if you're into that sort of thing.
[07:59] <dacks> does it use a ports style package manager
[07:59] <billy> beryl is stock.
[07:59] <pwnzorz> gentoo=hard and confusin, when i first started using linux, it was the first dist i found, i couldn't figure it out...
[07:59] <noen> isn't Sabayon losing support though? I head someone quitt
[07:59] <mneptok> people like Gentoo?
[07:59] <dacks> ehh im more into the lightweight system configuration
[07:59] <mistone> dacks you will get stabbed...
[07:59] <dacks> gentoo rocks
[07:59] <billy> dacks:  they use a program called portage.
[07:59] <dacks> haha mistone
[07:59] <dacks> billy,  i know what portage is =p
[07:59] <DarrenSS> ok well time to go play with my box somemore - ta ta people - and have fun on linux :)
[07:59] <stick-guy> bulmer: I don't have /lib/firmware/`uname -r`/, I built my own kernel - should I create /lib/firmware/`uname -r`/ ?
[08:00] <pwnzorz> i wonder what linux will be like in 20 years ;)
[08:00] <dacks> oh god i wonder
[08:00] <pwnzorz> it'll be a giant robot!!!
[08:00] <dacks> linux will defeat M$
[08:00] <dacks> just you watch
[08:00] <mistone> it will be like SHOOP DA WHOOP
[08:00] <mneptok> pwnzorz: fatter, but the mortgage will be paid down and the kids in college.
[08:01] <lori> pwnzorz: i hope linux will be free forever.
[08:01] <pwnzorz> they need to get rid of the command line, and get more support from dell... thats how the defeat 'em
[08:01] <stick-guy> dacks: I keep hoping, but it's not as probable as I'd like...
[08:01] <billy> Geoffrey2:  i'm checking there now.
[08:01] <pwnzorz> lori: its gnu, i'm not worrying!
[08:01] <noen> there will be no linux in 20 years
[08:01] <els> I just did a fresh Draper install.  When I try to login it flickers and puts me back at the login screen.
[08:01] <els> Any ideas?
[08:01] <meborc> the command line is here to stay... and i like it
[08:01] <billy> Geoffrey2:  not sure if I can help, but I'd like to know if I'm having the same difficulty.
[08:01] <dacks> i want the GPL license tatooed in its entirety on my left leg
[08:01] <noen> you'll just plug into the back of you neck
[08:01] <pwnzorz> meborc: tryin tellin that to the millions of people who cant figure out the start menu...
[08:02] <corevette> when you convert mp3 to ogg....do you lose sound quality?
[08:02] <bulmer> stick-guy; i honestly dont know which modules uses that directory to stash wireless drivers
[08:02] <mneptok> corevette: yes
[08:02] <meborc> els - try to reconfigure the xserver by "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and set the correct refreshrates
[08:02] <Madpilot> corevette, they're both lossy, so yes.
[08:02] <lori> dacks: whats the gpl liscence?
[08:02] <dacks> mneptok, gotcha
[08:02] <dacks> lori, google it
[08:02] <corevette> madpilot...what about mp3 to flac?
[08:02] <mneptok> dacks: grazie.
[08:02] <billy> dang.  the mplayer is taking up *2* desktops.  good thing beryl's up and running!
[08:02] <pwnzorz> general public license w00t i love acronyms!
[08:02] <Madpilot> corevette, no idea.
[08:02] <els> meborc - thanks, I'll give that a try
[08:03] <lori> dacks: *googles*
[08:03] <Cosmo__> how do I edit my source.list it keeps telling me it is read only
[08:03] <meborc> pwnzorz - true... but try to tell me to use windows way of installing soft :)
[08:03] <Madpilot> corevette, I'd guess not, given that flac is lossless.
[08:03] <mneptok> corevette: that will retain the quality of the source mps
[08:03] <pwnzorz> i gtg to bed... :l
[08:03] <mneptok> *mp3
[08:03] <mistone> oh yea is there a easy to use program that can convert mp3s to aiff or wav?
[08:03] <pwnzorz> zzZ
[08:03] <billy> Cosmo__ : open a terminal and sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:03] <mistone> right click menu option would be awesome
[08:03] <meborc> Cosmo_ "sudo gedit /eyc/apt/sources.list"
[08:03] <corevette> so when you transfer mp3 to ogg...is the sound quality loss noticeable mneptok or madpilot?
[08:03] <Madpilot> mistone, if you just want to burn audio CDs, use Serpentine
[08:03] <billy> Cosmo__: you need root priviledges to rewrite that file.
[08:03] <pwnzorz> meborc: try instsalling soft the windows way... ;)
[08:03] <mistone> Madpilot: I don't
[08:04] <Madpilot> corevette, no idea, I rip everything as .ogg and ignore mp3
[08:04] <dfgas> anyone get the HDA NVIDIA sound card to work yet?
[08:04] <mneptok> corevette: depends on input and output bitrates, and your adio sensitivity
[08:04] <kadjo> hello all: is it not possible to run two multimedia applications in ubuntu at the same time? i observe that the other one is mute
[08:04] <mneptok> *audio
[08:04] <mistone> pwnzorz: the only problem I got with my DS is the sound quality sucks... its 10 bit :(
[08:04] <meborc> pwnzorz - hhh
[08:04] <bullgard1> No beep: I downloaded the DEB program package 'beep'. My kernel 2.6.20 contains the 'pcspkr' module. When I issue the command 'beep' in a Gnome terminal I will not hear any beep. What's wrong with my software?
[08:04] <dacks> has anyone here used/heard of jakosher
[08:04] <pwnzorz> mistone: i use headphones!
[08:04] <mistone> I was planing on using it as a ipod
[08:04] <mistone> it still sucks tho
[08:04] <cafuego_>  blh 
[08:04] <lori> dacks: hope you have long legs honey...
[08:04] <pwnzorz> mistone: i use my ds as an ipod
[08:04] <mistone> I am a musician I can hear the 10bit
[08:04] <mistone> its 10 bit audio!
[08:04] <corevette> mneptok how big are normal flac files
[08:05] <pwnzorz> mistone: they even have a media player for the ds that looks and controls like in ipod!
[08:05] <mneptok> corevette: large. 10MB+ per minute.
[08:05] <yettenet> Can anyone tell me how to disable notifications of giving/taking voice in Konversation?
[08:05] <pwnzorz> not very stable though...
[08:05] <mistone> pwnzorz: yea I got it its really cool
[08:05] <mistone> it is for me
[08:05] <mistone> the ng 1.0 stable is ... stable :P
[08:05] <pwnzorz> mistone: i need a supercard...
[08:05] <mistone> my r4 owns :D
[08:05] <pwnzorz> mistone: grrr!
[08:05] <mistone> :P
[08:06] <pwnzorz> mistone:the greatest software for the ds is dsorganize though!
[08:06] <corevette> are there any smaller ones mneptok?
[08:06] <KeeNaF> hi guys .. I want to add/remove program but this error msg appear .. "E: Archive directory /var/cache/apt/archives/partial is missing." .. what should i do?
[08:06] <mneptok> corevette: not lossless, no
[08:06] <mistone> pwnzorz:  it curropts my card !
[08:06] <pwnzorz> mistone: suxxorz for u!!!
[08:06] <pwnzorz> mistone: have you tried dldi
[08:06] <mistone> duh
[08:06] <lori> KeeNaF: sorry, i dont have experience with that problem :)
[08:06] <pwnzorz> mistone: lol
[08:06] <kadjo> mneptok: is it not possible to run two multimedia applications in ubuntu at the same time? i observe that the other one is mute
[08:07] <mistone> sound quality is better in DS organize tho
[08:07] <mneptok> kadjo: depends on if they use ALSA, OSS, or ESD
[08:07] <mistone> the ipod one is really bad quality
[08:07] <pwnzorz> mistone: go complain to dragonminded at #dsorganize he loves complaints! ;)
[08:07] <pwnzorz> mistone: wait... i mean hates..
[08:07] <kadjo> mneptok: so how will i know if i'm using either of the three?
[08:07] <mistone> lol
[08:08] <KeeNaF> lori | it is because I deleted files in var/cache/apt/archives/ .. if there any way to get partial file in that directory?
[08:08] <pwnzorz> mistone: when does it corrupt your card??
[08:08] <pwnzorz> mistone: it corrupts my card whenever i try movin big files...
[08:08] <omeil> anyone know what i require to make this compiling succesful?
[08:08] <lori> KeeNaF: I dont know. But there's probly some brainy perosn here who does, Keep trying:)
[08:08] <omeil> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9196/
[08:08] <NKjoep> my serverX is lopping at login after installing a fonts package.... gdm log says: Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/ .... what can i do?
[08:09] <pwnzorz> i'm goin to sleep bye all!!!
[08:09] <wapityyy> Hi, this is a stupid question... how do i enable my SSH :S ?
[08:09] <mneptok> kadjo: there's no dead simple way. but ALSA is newest and best. ESD and OSS use the sound channels to the exclusion of other apps.
[08:09] <KeeNaF> lori | ok .. TQ .. :)
[08:09] <mistone> pwnzorz:  did it :P
[08:09] <mistone> kinda
[08:09] <lori> ditto. gotta call it a night.
[08:09] <pwnzorz> I'M LEAVING!!! NOW!
[08:09] <Madpilot> ubotu, ssh | wapityyy
[08:09] <ubotu> wapityyy: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[08:10] <kadjo> mneptok: i've observed that there is alsa-base in the list of my package which is installed so that means ...im using alsa?
[08:10] <pavs> azurues wont run in ubuntu
[08:10] <wapityyy> Madpilot: i cant believe you ubotu'ed me :|
[08:11] <NKjoep> :|
[08:11] <Madpilot> wapityyy, the bot is the smartest thing here, don't complain ;)
[08:11] <mneptok> kadjo: different apps use different sound architectures. you are definitely using ALSA, all Ubuntu users do. but some app might be using ESD or OSS. it's nothing you control.
[08:11] <IkimashoZ> I have a debilitating wlan card problem in ubuntu 6.10.  The card is a broadcom chipset 4309.  Please help!!
[08:11] <wapityyy> i guess that makes me an ubotard
[08:11] <mneptok> pavs: sudo aptitude install bittornado-gui
[08:11] <shatrat> IkimashoZ, there is a broadcom how-to on the ubuntuforums.org that worked for me, you might as well try that
[08:11] <NKjoep> any way to fix my fonts? :D
[08:11] <Cosmo__> ok next question, I got the nvidia drivers installed, how do I enable my second monitor?
[08:12] <billy> Strange.  I have the mplayer plugin playing a movie.  I can't see it, but I can hear it.  Where did it go?
[08:12] <pavs> mneptok but I want azureus to work, :)
[08:12] <omeil> made a runner
[08:12] <mneptok> pavs: sudo aptitude install sun-java5-plugin
[08:12] <kadjo> mneptok: ah..i see...what i wan though is to capture the one being played in gxine using sound recorder..maybe the other one is using different aside from alsa
[08:12] <NKjoep> Cosmo__ try truning off you pc, plug your other monitor then run ubuntu
[08:12] <NKjoep> *turning
[08:12] <KeeNaF> hi guys .. I want to add/remove program but this error msg appear .. "E: Archive directory /var/cache/apt/archives/partial is missing." .. what should i do?
[08:13] <kadjo> mneptok: ok thanks.. i'll be exploring some other things here...
[08:13] <Morsellus> can anyone point me to somwhere where it will show me how to install kde on ubuntu 6.10 may sound like a stupid question, but this is my first time really using any kind of linux, and was told to use the kde instead of gnome
[08:13] <macd> KeeNaF, in a console type 'sudo mkdir /var/cache/apt/archives/partial"
[08:13] <NKjoep> KeeNaF try checking that dir exists
[08:13] <NKjoep> agree macd
[08:13] <mneptok> pavs: then edit the Azureus shell script to call the binary from the proper dir. you'll need to get the latest build, unarchive and chown it, and move it to /usr/local-share
[08:13] <Cosmo__> they were both already plugged in and I have restarted several times
[08:13] <dacks> is there any way to background a process during an ssh session , to assure that the process does not break while you exit the ssh terminal, ie: apt-get install a b c d e f g, and your class at school ends....
[08:13] <macd> Morsellus, its not that hard actually, just :
[08:13] <mneptok>  /usr/local/share
[08:14] <Flannel> dacks: You want to use "screen"
[08:14] <Flannel> dacks: but, the background thing is "command &", but that'll stop when you exit.  But, screen fixes that
[08:14] <lkthomas> guys
[08:14] <macd> Morsellus, the 'sudo apt-get install kdebase'  add, koffice if youd like an openoffice =.
[08:14] <lkthomas> why ubuntu got old version of thunderbird ?
[08:14] <Flannel> dacks: well, or to stop it (ctrl-z), then force it into the background with "bg"
[08:15] <KeeNaF> macd | NKjoep | .. k .. problem solved
[08:15] <KeeNaF> :D
[08:15] <Tigger_`> yay :)
[08:15] <KeeNaF> macd | NKjoep | .. k .. problem solved .. Thank  you
[08:15] <lkthomas> does ubuntu got backports like debian ?
[08:15] <Flannel> lkthomas: each ubuntu release has the version of software it was released with, only security updates/bugfixes are made
[08:15] <Morsellus> Thanks Macd
[08:15] <macd> lkthomas, yes it does, you need to enable them in the software repositories
[08:15] <Madpilot> lkthomas, there are backport repos for some things, yes
[08:15] <lkthomas> macd, any guideline that I could use ?
[08:15] <macd> !backports
[08:15] <ubotu> If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[08:15] <pavs> nmeptok thanks i am working on it
[08:15] <Flannel> lkthomas: there are backports (a separate repository), but very little is bacported.  You usually upgrade for newer packages
[08:15] <NKjoep`away> i need help with this in gdm log: Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/, removing from list! .... wich list?
[08:16] <dacks> Flannel, thank you
[08:16] <billy> Looking at the various tutorials for the virtual software, i think I'll wait until it becomes a little more newbie user friendly.
[08:16] <lkthomas> Flannel, where is the guideline ?
[08:16] <Madpilot> ubotu, backports | lkthomas
[08:16] <ubotu> lkthomas: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[08:16] <KeeNaF> guys .. 1 more problem .. I still cannot streaming video using firefox .. what should I do?
[08:16] <Flannel> lkthomas: guideline?  Thunderbird isn't backported, by the way
[08:16] <lkthomas> Flannel, hmm
[08:16] <macd> !backports > lkthomas
[08:17] <Flannel> Holy cow, how many times are you people going to link him to that?
[08:17] <macd> a few, hi Flannel btw.

[08:18] <saviles> i have ubuntu on VPC 2007 but i can't get the scrool mouse to work. i've search the forums and seen a few responses on them but there isn't a 'solution' for it yet. does anyone have any suggestions?
[08:18] <IkimashoZ> I've got some questions for anyone who has successfully gotten a broadcom 43xx wlan card to work with ubuntu 6.10
[08:18] <lkthomas> Flannel, at least 2.0 of thunderbird
[08:18] <omeil> LordLimecat: have you stopped playing trem yet?
[08:18] <macd> omeil, you dont have the java compiler.
[08:18] <Geoffrey2> Thunderbird 2.0 is still in Beta, so even the latest Ubuntu won't have it....
[08:18] <Flannel> lkthomas: 2.0 isn't stable yet, it won't be in Ubuntu until it is (or close to it)
[08:18] <lkthomas> hmm
[08:18] <omeil> macd: i don't know hwich one
[08:19] <omeil> macd: i guess it will be one with a -dev at the end?
[08:19] <Geoffrey2> the latest stable version of Thunderbird is, I believe, 1.5.0.10
[08:19] <lkthomas> I see
[08:19] <lkthomas> ok

[08:23] <omeil> sudo apt-get install ant
[08:23] <macd> omeil, do a 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure java-gcj-compat'
[08:24] <macd> then
[08:24] <macd> 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure ant'
[08:24] <omeil> then

[08:25] <macd> did that fix it?
[08:25] <omeil> try compiling again?
[08:25] <macd> yes
[08:26] <omeil> BUILD FAILED
[08:26] <omeil> /home/omeil/Desktop/stendhal/build.xml:428: Unable to find a javac compiler;

[08:27] <pavs> IkimashoZ: why?
[08:27] <macd> just open the one titled extended in .rar, make sure you have unrar installed.
[08:27] <Tigger_`> asdfd, just ask your question
[08:28] <omeil> macd: javacc already installed to the newest version

[08:28] <bikini> noodles12: are you still around?
[08:29] <omeil> nope
[08:29] <omeil> didn;t work :(
[08:29] <macd> omeil, well Im out of ideas, sorry
[08:30] <macd> omeil, try posting on the forums
[08:30] <_Rappy_> I need JRE. Until now I've used Atumotaix to install it, but now I just found (in synaptic) that there ARE JRE packages from sun there (and they're even installed, but I've not done it). Are the packages in synaptic official from Sun?
[08:30] <macd> or ask later here.
[08:30] <noodles12> bikini: yea about to leave though. wassap?
[08:30] <macd> _Rappy_, yessir
[08:31] <bikini> when i go to load the windows.vmx i get this error message:
[08:31] <bikini> Cannot open the disk '/home/tyler/vmwarething/windows.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.

[08:31] <asdfd> the librarys are in the proper dir, and -L'ing the dir still doesnt fix
[08:31] <asdfd> can anyone here code
[08:32] <noodles12> bikini: sudo vmplayer
[08:32] <noodles12> bikini: see if that does the trick
[08:33] <omeil> macd: i think i need jdk
[08:33] <bikini> noodles12: holy shit it worked.
[08:33] <bikini> i just screamed.
[08:34] <bikini> thanks a lot

[08:34] <macd> omeil, then sun-java5-jdk is your package
[08:34] <_Rappy_> macd : thanks.
[08:34] <omeil> macd: yup your right. gonna download thatone now
[08:35] <omeil> macd: Cause i have JRE and the tools file is in JDK
[08:35] <macd> omeil, sounds logical then, but Im not java person
[08:35] <macd> not a*
[08:35] <omeil> macd: neither am I :D
[08:36] <omeil> macd:i just need it because this mmorpg requires it

[08:49] <posingaspopular> what is maltese...?
[08:49] <omeil> Mediterainian language
[08:49] <omeil> its a small island in the meditarainian sea :) called Malta

[08:50] <dacks> i heard Malta is beautiful this time of year

[08:51] <Jose> my computer --> amd xp 2800+ 768 mb ram geforce 6800
[08:51] <IkimashoZ> Hi, I've got a question.  How is it that Ubuntu gets away with having the slogan "it just works"?  So far, in my 3 days using it, I've realized that basically it just doesn't work.  I have multiple debilitating errors, and while there seems to be a number of how-to's for "solutions" to these problems, none of them actually work either.  So now I've got windows XP, which does what I need it to do, albeit slowly and brokenly.
[08:51] <IkimashoZ> and on the other hand there's ubuntu
[08:51] <IkimashoZ> which doesn't work at all
[08:52] <IkimashoZ> so yeah
[08:52] <romeomajk> Ahh meditarainian sea.. that sounds lovely.. I am in Sweden scandinavia and it is cold up here.. yikes..
[08:52] <IkimashoZ> how does ubuntu get away with "it just works"??
[08:52] <Madpilot> IkimashoZ, because for a lot of us, it just does? How about asking questions to help yourself, rather than just complaining?
[08:52] <omeil> it just works for all of us except you :D
[08:52] <IkimashoZ> no one answers
[08:52] <IkimashoZ> anywhere
[08:52] <IkimashoZ> forums, here
[08:53] <mneptok> IkimashoZ: where do you see "It just works?"
[08:53] <posingaspopular> lkthomas: it depends on what you're trying to do
[08:53] <IkimashoZ> for the third and final time, I have a broadcom
[08:53] <IkimashoZ> 3409
[08:53] <IkimashoZ> wlan
[08:53] <lkthomas> posingaspopular, just want to test my soundcard
[08:53] <shatrat> Did you follow the how-to?
[08:53] <IkimashoZ> I have tried three of five
[08:53] <IkimashoZ> a fourth I couldn't finish
[08:54] <IkimashoZ> b/c I lost net access in the middle of performing it
[08:54] <IkimashoZ> which how-to, shatrat?
[08:54] <IkimashoZ> I've found five
[08:54] <posingaspopular> well thats not so much ubuntu as it is the hardware. that sound card was probably designed for a windows machine, and prob. has closed source drivers.
[08:54] <IkimashoZ> I understand the issue
[08:54] <IkimashoZ> and it's a lousy excuse for lack of support
[08:54] <mneptok> IkimashoZ: Broadcom does not release ANY code in ANY form to allow their stuff to work with anything except Windows. this is NOT a Linux problem. it's a Broadcom problem. and if you don't like it, vote with your wallet.
[08:55] <shatrat> IkimashoZ, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185174&highlight=broadcom+how+to
[08:55] <IkimashoZ> yeah, okay, I can't do that one anymore
[08:55] <IkimashoZ> because...
[08:55] <shatrat> IkimashoZ, and before you start moaning about lack of support, consider that its a free operating system.  If you want you can pay canonical for support, but this is not a support channel, its just a bunch of users.
[08:55] <IkimashoZ> hold on...
[08:56] <IkimashoZ> because I did this one -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=201902
[08:56] <lkthomas> hmm
[08:56] <mneptok> IkimashoZ: how is "we can't see how the hardware works so we have to design solutions in the dark with our hands tied" a lousy excuse?
[08:56] <IkimashoZ> and my wlan card disappeared from networking
[08:56] <IkimashoZ> and I don't know how to get it back
[08:56] <threeseas> how do I find out how much space I have avialable on the drives I have in may system?
[08:56] <borisyeltsin> lol topic: "Official Ubuntu Support Channel"
[08:56] <shatrat> threeseas, df -h
[08:56] <mneptok> threeseas: df -h
[08:56] <lkthomas> I am setting up xmms, but xmms doesn't have permission to mount cdrom to /mnt/cdrom, what should I do ?
[08:56] <IkimashoZ> if you could help me get it back, that'd be great
[08:56] <posingaspopular> well we could write a driver in all of two seconds of we could see how the hardware was written. like mp3s, we cant use out of the box becuase its not free. we prefer freedom 9 timesout of 10
[08:56] <posingaspopular> was supposed to work imean, the drivers are written
[08:57] <dacks> omeil, are you there?
[08:57] <omeil> omeil, here i am!
[08:57] <threeseas> wow _ have 9.9 gigs availabel on a 2 gig usbstick
[08:57] <IkimashoZ> and shatrat, as per my "moaning", if the user support was so great, why were you ignoring my pleas for help before??
[08:57] <dacks> omeil, check /msg
[08:57] <omeil> doh i wrote omeil instead of dacks lol
[08:57] <chief> anyone know any good software i can use to convert ogg theora to avi or a windows format?
[08:58] <dacks> hehe
[08:58] <omeil> dacks i haven't recieved anything from you
[08:58] <dacks> weird...
[08:58] <shatrat> IkimashoZ, I didnt say it was great.  Support is for people who cant help themselves.  I got my wireless running on the first try, so is the problem ubuntu or is it you?
[08:58] <omeil> oh im not logged in. how do i verify my account again?
[08:58] <mneptok> IkimashoZ: the better question is "why do you feel people are obligated to help you for free?"
[08:58] <omeil> !login
[08:58] <IkimashoZ> well, I asked you to explain it to me and and you ignored
[08:58] <ubotu> login: system login tools. In component main, is required. Version 1:4.0.16-2ubuntu4 (edgy), package size 306 kB, installed size 2776 kB
[08:58] <Slasherx2> i got my wireless running with ndiswrapper with help frim ubuntuguide
[08:59] <DarkX_> anyone in here have luck with the ATI Radeon 200 Onboard Video accelation
[08:59] <IkimashoZ> they're not obligated, but shouldn't I at least get a response if I ask a question??
[08:59] <mneptok> IkimashoZ: if you'd like a guaranteed response we sell commercial support contracts.
[08:59] <dacks> Omeil, i will be in byron bay in approx. 1 year
[08:59] <Slasherx2> DarkX_: i messed up when i tried to install my ati drivers :|
[08:59] <shatrat> DarkX_, thats kind of some messed up hardware.  I got it working using a specific how-to though, one moment
[08:59] <dacks> any quake players in the house?
[09:00] <Omeil> dacks: is that in QLD? heard of it tho
[09:00] <DarkX_> and we need DRI
[09:00] <shatrat> DarkX_, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=321766&highlight=fglrx+200m
[09:00] <shatrat> DarkX_, that one worked for me, and for a few others Ive seen in irc who couldnt get it going any other way
[09:00] <mneptok> DarkX_: i'm a Dirty Rotten Imbecile. how can i help?
[09:01] <Slasherx2> o.O
[09:01] <DarkX_> O.o
[09:01] <DarkX_> ^_^ you can make my roomies video card work mr dri
[09:01] <DarkX_> :P
[09:01] <threeseas> how do I get access to a partition that has all my free space but doen't show up anywhere cept df -h
[09:01] <mneptok> DarkX_: http://www.newegg.com  >:)
[09:01] <posingaspopular> IkimashoZ: i agree since i had the same problem getting help earlier,but with my ubuntu i have wayy less problems with software crashes/drm and all that garbage than i ever did with windows
[09:01] <Omeil> dacks: i think byron bay is in New south wales, im in Queensland north of you :)
[09:01] <IkimashoZ> If someone directly asked me question, I'd at least have the decency to say "I'm busy, not right now"
[09:02] <shatrat> threeseas, sounds like you need to mount it.
[09:02] <mneptok> threeseas: man mount
[09:02] <DarkX_> mneptok, we have a 7300GT for it BUT the fans dieing
[09:02] <DarkX_> so hes stuck with onboard for now
[09:02] <Omeil> IkimashoZ: what if no one knows the answer to your question?
[09:02] <Omeil> IkimashoZ: you expect 945 users to instantly say i don't know?
[09:02] <IkimashoZ> I sent a direct message
[09:02] <IkimashoZ> not in this window
[09:02] <Omeil> :)
[09:02] <IkimashoZ> no
[09:03] <Omeil> wow that would lag this irc server lol
[09:03] <shatrat> if youre not registered on freenode PMs are blocked
[09:03] <Slasherx2> lol omeil
[09:03] <IkimashoZ> >_<
[09:03] <Flannel> IkimashoZ: yeah, your query never went through.
[09:03] <threeseas> oh great now I have to guess as to how it is formatted
[09:03] <Omeil> haha
[09:03] <Kooka> cya muss wech
[09:03] <chief> anyone know any good software i can use to convert ogg theora to avi or a windows format?
[09:03] <Slasherx2> that would be a ddos not meaning to happen
[09:03] <dacks> Omeil, SAE is an audio engineering school that is located in byron bay, i'm transferring there pending my completion of the LA program
[09:03] <shatrat> threeseas, no need to guess, fdisk -l I believe
[09:03] <Omeil> shatrat: how do i verify my account?
[09:03] <IkimashoZ> how do I register?
[09:03] <Omeil> dacks: cool
[09:03] <Flannel> !register
[09:03] <ubotu> Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[09:03] <Slasherx2> right im off to work cya
[09:04] <shatrat> Omeil, IkimashoZ msg nickserv help and you can read the instructions, its kind of a pain but once youve done it once and added it to your IRC clients auto-run you dont have to deal with it again
[09:04] <threeseas> fdisk -l only shows the usb stick
[09:04] <Morsellus> Macd i just wanted to say thanks for helping me with that KDE :)
[09:05] <posingaspopular> does mtab do anything?
[09:05] <Morsellus> it works very nice
[09:05] <posingaspopular> i was messing aroud with it trying to get it show my partitions
[09:05] <posingaspopular> but i duno too much about partitions

[09:07] <threeseas> this partition was suppose to have been created and made availabel when I installed ubuntu 6.10
[09:07] <posingaspopular> threeseas: available...? or mounted?
[09:07] <threeseas> don't remember
[09:08] <posingaspopular> !partition
[09:08] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[09:08] <posingaspopular> threeseas: does fstab do anything
[09:08] <threeseas> it's linux formated and its odd that my main partition is fat 32
[09:09] <Cosmo__> can anyone recomend a good IRC client, I really don't like this chatzilla
[09:09] <threeseas> What I remember is that it was supposed to be set up when I installed
[09:09] <posingaspopular> konversation
[09:09] <posingaspopular> or xchat
[09:09] <posingaspopular> Cosmo__: ^
[09:09] <yomm> Cosmo : or bitchx
[09:10] <Omeil> umm i have a problem people :)
[09:10] <posingaspopular> Omeil: this isn't a support channel! :)
[09:10] <posingaspopular> ask away
[09:11] <threeseas> apparently it didn't put it in fstab so now I am babysitting ubuntu
[09:11] <Omeil> I am trying to compile a mmorpg with ant dist, but Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-4.1-1.4.2.0/lib/tools.jar
[09:11] <Omeil> , thats where ant is looking for the tools file but its actually /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/lib/tools.jar. whats up with that? :D
[09:11] <threeseas> warning - no finial newline at the end of fstab -- hmmm
[09:11] <posingaspopular> uh it's renamed or something
[09:12] <posingaspopular> just rename it or moveit or whatever works for it to be functional
[09:12] <Omeil> but wouldn't copying the tools.jar to the older java version screw it up?
[09:12] <threeseas> mount can't find hda4
[09:12] <yomm> Omeil : a Symlink maybe ?
[09:13] <posingaspopular> iduno, i would do it anyway
[09:13] <dacks> hehe
[09:13] <lkthomas> I need some help
[09:13] <lkthomas> xmms playing my cd
[09:13] <lkthomas> but no sound comes out
[09:14] <yomm> lkthomas : check the output plugings ;)
[09:14] <dacks> check your alsa plugin in xmms prefs and verify that your device is selected by the dev id
[09:14] <Omeil> i copied the lib folder from the 1.5 to the older version lets see what happens :D
[09:14] <lkthomas> yomm, I try alsa and oss, none of them are working
[09:15] <yomm> lkthomas : but outside xmms u
[09:15] <dacks> lkthomas, try going into the alsa configuration panel within the output plug interface of xmms
[09:15] <yomm> lkthomas : but outside xmms you are getting sound with alsa , or oss ?
[09:15] <Omeil> ok i think i just made it screwed up even more :D
[09:15] <dacks> lkthomas, and set the device to your alsa device
[09:15] <lkthomas> yomm, nope
[09:15] <yomm> Omeil : u should have gone with the symlink , a bit safer to try out :)
[09:15] <lkthomas> yomm, both, nothing
[09:16] <dacks> lkthomas, try editing alsa.conf
[09:16] <Omeil> yomm: from 1 error now 50 errors :D
[09:16] <posingaspopular> undo! undo!
[09:16] <Omeil> how do u delete a folder?
[09:16] <Omeil> from command line?
[09:16] <dacks> Omeil, its rm -rf folder
[09:16] <yomm> Omeil :  rm -rf /foldername
[09:16] <Omeil> whats the -rf for/?
[09:16] <dacks> Omeil, recursive and force yes
[09:17] <yomm> recursive . force
[09:17] <posingaspopular> what's recursive?
[09:17] <yomm> go into dir tree
[09:17] <dacks> it means it will descend into the underlying directories and files
[09:17] <posingaspopular> ahhh okay
[09:17] <yomm> lol dacks :)
[09:17] <dacks> yomm, can you blame me
[09:17] <dacks> hehe
[09:17] <yomm> stop typing soo fast :)
[09:17] <dacks> hehe
[09:18] <lkthomas> I got this
[09:18] <Omeil> should i rename the old java folder into somethjing else. and rename the newer java that has the tools to the old java name?
[09:18] <lkthomas> Message: alsa mixer timed out
[09:18] <lkthomas> 
[09:18] <dacks> lkthomas, verify that your user login is in the audio group
[09:18] <Omeil> or should i just delete the old java?
[09:18] <Omeil> na that i shouldn't do :)
[09:19] <dacks> Omeil, aka usermod -a -G audio omeil
[09:19] <lkthomas> dacks, I think so
[09:19] <zcat[1] > de=+zaqo%,cw=YkPL;1
[09:19] <yomm> lkthomas , if you go to "system -> prefs -> sound" , do you hear the test sounds ?
[09:19] <Omeil> dacks, whats that do?
[09:19] <lkthomas> yomm, I am using xfce
[09:20] <dacks> Omeil, that adds your user to the audio group verifying that you will be able to access alsa devices
[09:20] <dacks> Omeil, must be done as root
[09:20] <dacks> or sudo ...
[09:20] <Omeil> yup
[09:20] <dxdemetriou> is there some way when I have some programs I want to build from source to not replaced by the binary if is there an update? for example I want to build the audacious to support other languages
[09:20] <yomm> lkthomas : I'm not sure where the sounds prefs are in Xfce...

[09:22] <Omeil> lol
[09:22] <Omeil> how do i renamea folder?
[09:22] <yomm> Omeil : if you install GKSU ,you can type "gksu nautilus" or "gksu thunar" and start your file manager with root privileges .. be cautious though
[09:23] <yomm> Omail : or whatever file manager you are using :)
[09:23] <lkthomas> what a pain to config sound on ubuntu
[09:23] <Flannel> yomm, Omeil, gksu is already there.
[09:23] <gordonjcp> lkthomas: how so?
[09:23] <yomm> flannel : thx
[09:23] <Omeil> how do i use it?
[09:23] <lkthomas> gordonjcp, my soundblaster can't play anything
[09:23] <Omeil> so gkso nautilus
[09:23] <dxdemetriou> the apt-src is synchronised with apt-get?
[09:23] <yomm> gksu *
[09:24] <gordonjcp> lkthomas: strange, Soundblasters have been well supported for about 10 years...
[09:24] <yomm> !gksu | Omeil
[09:24] <ubotu> Omeil: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use  gksudo , as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Avoid ever using  sudo <GUI-application> 
[09:24] <mehlng> is there any chat program that comes with vanilla ubuntu installation?
[09:24] <gordonjcp> lkthomas: what exactly are you doing, and what's going wrong?

[09:24] <mehlng> No, for IRC
[09:25] <yomm> !vanilla
[09:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about vanilla - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:25] <lkthomas> gordonjcp, ok, alsamixer shows emu10k1
[09:25] <gordonjcp> mehlng: no idea, but I thought gaim did irssi
[09:26] <lkthomas> gordonjcp, but then even cd is playing, no sound comes out from speaker
[09:26] <Flannel> mehlng: GAIM does, yes.  and GAIM does do IRC, just not very well.
[09:26] <yomm> lkthomas : did you give alsamixer a thorough whipping ?
[09:26] <gordonjcp> lkthomas: have you unmuted the channels?
[09:26] <lkthomas> yomm, what do you mean ?
[09:26] <yomm> what gordon said :)
[09:26] <lkthomas> gordonjcp, PCM and master channel unmuted
[09:26] <lkthomas> what else should I unmute ?
[09:26] <threeseas> great wanna make a back up but the software says it don't have room but there is and now i'm screwing arouynd trying to just see the room that is there] 
[09:27] <zcat__> hmm..

[09:27] <Flannel> !sound | lkthomas
[09:27] <ubotu> lkthomas: 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).

[09:30] <druncks> lkthomas, did you add yourself to the audio group as i suggested?
[09:30] <Gabz> Kymberly: this should come up in bold

[09:31] <threeseas> is there a problem with gnomebacker?

[09:32] <yeniklasor> ok
[09:32] <jb5> can anyone tell me how to change the tooltip timeout?
[09:32] <threeseas> I go through the trouble to tell it what files I want to write to disk and then it tells me it doesn't have room tpo make and image on the harddrive when that spece is supposed to be there from what all I can tell
[09:32] <firebird619> I tried connecting to the Internet (Cable) but Web sites would not load. The Internet worked fine until I had to switch modems, which now I use a Motorola Surfboard SB5100. It is connected via Ethernet. I ran pppoeconf and it said the Access Concentrator of your provider did not respond. How Can I fix this?
[09:32] <guideX> instaalled edgy with alternate cd, oem install
[09:33] <guideX> everything installed fine
[09:33] <guideX> then it prompts for my username
[09:33] <Flannel> guideX: so, this is after you've done oem-config-prepare?
[09:33] <guideX> yeah
[09:33] <guideX> and it reboots into ubutnu and asks for your info
[09:33] <guideX> the info i typed isn't cutting it
[09:34] <Flannel> guideX: reboot, hit escape to get to the grub menu, go into Recovery cnsole (or rescue consoleor whatnot) and see what's in /etc/passwd
[09:35] <guideX> ok 1 sec fiannel, thanks

[09:36] <Kymoie> druncks: but thank you anyway
[09:36] <druncks> Kymoie, gotcha np
[09:36] <lkthomas> ok, the sound is working
[09:36] <druncks> yay!
[09:37] <jb5> i hate asking for help like a noob but does anyone know how to change the tooltip timeout in 6.10?
[09:37] <lkthomas> another question
[09:37] <jb5> it's pretty annoying moving my mouse over somethign to get to something else and 5 tooltips appear
[09:37] <lkthomas> how come only root could play cd
[09:37] <lkthomas> but other can't ?
[09:38] <Andune> hey guys..  I've done a bit of searching and as creative of googling as I can come up with, and I can't find any answers as to how to get Ubuntu to recognize a hardware RAID-0 mirror on install
[09:38] <Flannel> jb5: You probably need to download gconf-editor, and there could be a value in there (I don't know)
[09:38] <jb5> thanks Flannel
[09:38] <Andune> The manual partioner shows me both raw hard disks, but I want a view of the mirrored device.
[09:38] <threeseas> what cd/dvd writing software actually works on ubuntu 6.10 ? gnomebaker obviously doesn't as it can't even really actually save a project
[09:38] <threeseas> ?
[09:38] <belathor> druncks; I have an internal dvd drive that reads them but is horribly loud and I cannot hear anything. Ubuntu recognizes it but not as carrying a dvd disc.

[09:40] <lkthomas> gordonjcp, alsa seems working
[09:40] <gordonjcp> lkthomas: maybe because you haven't got permissions to some device or another?

[09:40] <lkthomas> gordonjcp, how should I config it ?
[09:40] <threeseas> I didn't ask for a list of what cd/dvd software is available - I asked for what software actually works?

[09:42] <Andune> ubotu: thanks, I'll read those while I'm downloading the alternate CD
[09:42] <asaup> i have installed ubuntu but my mount point is in sda1 that i want to format now. I want to know that if i format it will my ubuntu work again. is there any problem ?
[09:42] <jb5> is there a delay there without beryl running? maybe it's a beryl or emerald theme setting?
[09:42] <belathor> Flannel: I've got all the codecs installed and it works when I'm using my internal cd-rw/dvd, but it doesn't work when using the external.
[09:43] <Flannel> jb5: You'd have to ask in #ubuntu-effects (or #beryl)
[09:43] <jb5> thanks
[09:43] <threeseas> gnomebaker wruite something to a project file but then doesn't really read it back
[09:43] <Flannel> belathor: then you've got some mounting issue with the external (not necessarily DVD specific)
[09:43] <woodgrain> asaup, you'll have to change the mount point to where you want to go.  Dicey territory without solid understanding/help.
[09:43] <lkthomas> do I need to chgrp to /media/cdrom ?
[09:43] <Omeil> any ANT experts here?
[09:44] <Flannel> asaup: what do you mean?  You're installing something overtop of your current ubuntu install?

[09:47] <asaup> now i am saying that if i formatt sda1 will ubuntu work
[09:47] <woodgrain> Flannel, I'm a noob, but asaup is screwed because the mount point is different than the partition where the new installed ubuntu is.
[09:47] <asaup> yeaaaaah
[09:47] <Flannel> woodgrain: I... still have no idea what this mount point is.
[09:47] <asaup> thats it what i am saying
[09:47] <Flannel> and, no, I doubt he's screwed
[09:47] <woodgrain> Flannel, are you trying to take me to school on mount points?
[09:47] <woodgrain> Flannel, I'm a noob.
[09:48] <Flannel> woodgrain: I'm trying to tell you that sda1 being "the mount point" makes no sense.  And I understand that that's what it said in the installer, but still have no idea what that means
[09:48] <threeseas> ubuntu 6.10 was installed with had4 supposed to be home, where all my availabel space is. -- fstab doesn't have a hda4 entry so where the hell did home get put?
[09:48] <woodgrain> Flannel, screwed in the sense of 'confused'.  I've had this problem too.
[09:48] <Flannel> threeseas: If you have no /home, then /home is in /
[09:49] <woodgrain> Flannel, what is a sane mount point then?  Isn't it a partition name?
[09:49] <threeseas> oh great, so no storage space... ubuntu install lied to me an gnomebaker lied about its ability to read in a project
[09:49] <Omeil> does ubuntu get damage if the computer suddenly resets?
[09:49] <threeseas> it'l likle babysitting
[09:49] <Morsellus> ok i need help, i want to map a network drive sorta like i would in uggh Windows so that i can stream my mp3s over the network could someone tell me how to do that?
[09:50] <Flannel> woodgrain: mount points are directories in the file tree, not partitions.  Partitions get mounted TO mount points.  And there wouldn't be a single "the" mount point either, it'd be just like any other one (but, a directory, not a partition)
[09:50] <Flannel> !samba | Morsellus

[09:50] <Omeil> THE GODS ARE ANGRY
[09:50] <threeseas> So now I want to backup my stuff so I can dump ubuntu and it won't let me... souind like microsoft
[09:51] <belathor> Flannel: Properties says the DVD disc isn't getting mounted. It also gives me the option to set a mount point. However, I'm not sure how to set it up. I'm given three forms: Mount Point, File System and Mount Options.
[09:51] <osfameron> someone on #london.pm is telling me about a script to convert Windows to Ubuntu - does that exist?
[09:51] <osfameron> really that would be nice: basically, install Ubuntu, copying the user home data to the new setup
[09:51] <Flannel> belathor: go ahead and mount it somewhere.  somewhere in /media I think is the default for removable media
[09:51] <woodgrain> Flannel, thanks.  Didn't understand.
[09:52] <zcat[1] > osfameron: yes there's a windows installer for ubuntu now...
[09:52] <osfameron> I know that wouldn't be as reliable as backing up and restoring, but I could live with a small amount of risk if that was convenient
[09:52] <osfameron> zcat[1] : cool, where do I find it?
[09:52] <woodgrain> asaup, you should read what Flannel said above.

[09:52] <regress> hey all, I don't have a capture tab on my "volume control", any reason why that might be?
[09:53] <osfameron> zcat[1] : basically I've been meaning to upgrade to ubuntu from this windows machine for 3 months, and I'm too lazy to back up my email
[09:53] <asaup> it says temporary
[09:53] <osfameron> it's only work stuff so I could afford to lose it, but would be convenient to keep
[09:53] <Flannel> threeseas: Stop trolling.  I highly doubt ubuntu "lied" to you, most lkely you're not doing it properly.  Of course, bugs aren't unheard of.
[09:53] <asaup> so it means that there is no problem if i formatt it??
[09:53] <threeseas> how do you add to it without it become just a plain file browser? Oh wait - that's all it really is - its not what it says it is ---
[09:54] <osfameron> !windows
[09:54] <ubotu> For help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows or your nearest mental health institute. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and !equivalents
[09:54] <regress> ok, this  is really simple....I can hear my mic coming through the speakers, but I cannot record it
[09:54] <regress> why?
[09:54] <osfameron> !convert
[09:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about convert - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:54] <threeseas> where exactly is location burn:///?
[09:55] <fannagoganna> regress, wow, your mic works :)
[09:55] <IkimashoZ> okay, I've really screwed myself up now
[09:55] <IkimashoZ> I'm working on the wlan card problem
[09:55] <regress> heh, no, it really doesn't
[09:55] <IkimashoZ> broadcom
[09:55] <IkimashoZ> anyone care to give me a hand??
[09:55] <regress> I just now got it to come through the speakers at least, but no application can record it
[09:55] <regress> so ubuntu basically cannot do any voicechat for me
[09:56] <osfameron> zcat[1] : ah, it appears to be at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/install.exe/
[09:56] <regress> after two months of it, I've become pretty frustrated, to the point I'm actually searching out the reason it's not working
[09:56] <fannagoganna> try arecord -f cd -t wav -d 3 temp.wav, and speak into your mic
[09:56] <zcat[1] > osfameron: yeah, that would be i :)
[09:56] <fannagoganna> to be fair, it's not Ubuntu's fault
[09:57] <fannagoganna> ALSA is really a piece of shit
[09:57] <regress> is it?
[09:57] <regress> isn't it made to replace OSS, which was supposed to be a pos?
[09:57] <belathor> Flannel: I have no idea how to mount it. Could you give some pointers?
[09:57] <regress> hege
[09:57] <fannagoganna> it's the most polished piece of shit in the Linux audio world
[09:57] <fannagoganna> but that doesn't really change its essential shittiness
[09:57] <threeseas> Flannel: I'm not troilling unless trolling is the act of being frustrated with not getting done what should be easy to do and voicing it
[09:57] <fannagoganna> yes, true, ALSA should not be voodoo
[09:58] <regress> no, no sound
[09:58] <crimsun> regress: pastebin your ``amixer''
[09:58] <regress> temp.wav has no sound
[09:59] <regress> wow....learn a new command every day, haha
[09:59] <zcat[1] > My soundcard appears as two different audio devices in the mixer thingy... the second one has two switches per input, one feeds the audio through to the speakers and the other selects it for recording.
[09:59] <crimsun> I really wish people who have not invested significant effort in improving alsa would stop making blanket statements about alsa.
[09:59] <osfameron> crimsun: why?
[09:59] <crimsun> either help fix it, or shut up.
[09:59] <zcat[1] > BUT the default device doesn't have all the switches. wtf?
[09:59] <fannagoganna> yes why, why is it so much easier to set up sound in windows than in linux?
[09:59] <crimsun> talking trash about alsa doesn't magically make problems disappear.
[09:59] <fannagoganna> ok, how should we fix it?
[09:59] <fannagoganna> how do we get a debug trace on all ALSA processes?
[09:59] <zcat[1] > fannagoganna: file a bug report I think?
[10:00] <osfameron> crimsun: many more people want to be able to listen to sound than know how to fix software, configure things, write code, debug drivers etc.
[10:00] <Anohaakten> hey
[10:00] <Anohaakten> who has beryl installed?
[10:00] <osfameron> oh, yeah, submitting bug reports is within reasonable endeavours though, yeah
[10:00] <Anohaakten> osfameron
[10:00] <Anohaakten> you using beryl?
[10:00] <crimsun> fannagoganna: give me a concrete problem with sufficient debugging info for starters.
[10:00] <threeseas> I could verify my home directory is what it is suppose to be if I know how to determine how much space home has.
[10:00] <Anohaakten> how do you do the zoom out thing with beryl?
[10:00] <fannagoganna> and what would i say, "for obscure reasons my mic does not work. I have the right permissions on all my sound devices"
[10:00] <fannagoganna> is this sufficient?
[10:01] <regress> here: http://rafb.net/p/5Utkp533.html
[10:01] <Anohaakten> how do you do the zoom out thing with beryl?
[10:01] <zcat[1] > crimsun: is terrible UI a bug though? where do we file usability issues?
[10:01] <crimsun> fannagoganna: go read wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems , then pastebin that info somewhere.
[10:01] <threeseas> disk usage analyzer says it not what it was suppose to be when I installed ubuntu
[10:01] <zcat[1] > Anohaakten: window-button and mousewheel..
[10:01] <crimsun> I'm very displeased that people would rather talk trash about alsa than actually try and figure out the problem.
[10:01] <regress> well, I think it happened after I updated a month ago or so
[10:01] <fannagoganna> as i said, how do we do it?
[10:02] <crimsun> fannagoganna: I just told you.
[10:02] <fannagoganna> does ALSA emit messages to /var/log?
[10:02] <fannagoganna> that's the only way. Otherwise, it's voodoo
[10:02] <threeseas> the reason I installed 6.10 is because 6.06 decided it wasn't going to boot up my desktop, let me log in
[10:02] <Anohaakten> crimsun
[10:02] <Anohaakten> you using beryl?
[10:02] <regress> suddenly my soiund went crazy...my headphones played sound at the same time that my speakers did (speakers didn't cut when I plugged in my headphones), headphones were always WAY too loud...I found out that headphones are controlled separately
[10:02] <crimsun> Anohaakten: no, I don't.
[10:02] <regress> so that's taken care of...it would be nice if headphone and speaker volume were tied together, but owell
[10:03] <crimsun> which problem do you want me to look at?
[10:03] <crimsun> I'm not going to tackle everything at once. I'm a finite resource.
[10:03] <regress> but mic still isn't working...today I finally got it to play through the speakers (I can hear it) but no programs can record it
[10:03] <regress> me?
[10:03] <crimsun> yes, you.
[10:03] <regress> oh, the mic one please
[10:03] <regress> I think the others are taken care of now
[10:04] <regress> some googling and experimentation took care of them
[10:04] <Menasim1___> I have windows and I want to install ubuntu
[10:04] <Menasim1___> without removing windows
[10:04] <crimsun> regress: is this the only sound card you have recognised?
[10:04] <posingaspopular> Menasim1___: got hard drive space?
[10:04] <yettenet> How can I remove a program that I installed manually?
[10:04] <crimsun> regress: (DebuggingSoundProblems output would be really useful here)
[10:04] <Menasim1___> 76 GB
[10:04] <posingaspopular> okay cool
[10:05] <regress> crimsun: I'll go read through that link
[10:05] <Menasim1___> I think that there is an exe ubuntu installer
[10:05] <lkthomas> guys, what is universe repository ?
[10:05] <posingaspopular> Menasim1___: there is
[10:05] <Menasim1___> is that right?
[10:05] <posingaspopular> im looking for it
[10:06] <regress> but crimsun, no, I have two devices it seems
[10:06] <lkthomas> hmm
[10:06] <crimsun> regress: so provide the info I asked for in another pastebin
[10:06] <regress> one is the nvidia nforce 3 (ALSA), the other is Analog Device (OSS Mixer)
[10:06] <lkthomas> what's the diff between xfce add/remove and synaptic package manager ?
[10:07] <crimsun> regress: no, that's the same sound device
[10:07] <crimsun> regress: your AD1xxx codec is what drives the actual output
[10:08] <Ademan> anyone who's used dosbox, where the heck is the root dosbox directory?
[10:08] <posingaspopular> Menasim1: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/install.exe/Prototype
[10:08] <posingaspopular> its a prototpe
[10:08] <Woodrow> hello
[10:08] <eck> lkthomas: they're all just frontends to apt
[10:08] <regress> hmm, ok
[10:09] <regress> the "cat /etc/asound.conf ~/.asoundrc*" produces an error, I don't have either file
[10:09] <crimsun> regress: that's fine.
[10:09] <eck> well i guess apt is just a frontend to dpkg...
[10:09] <lkthomas> eck, but some package can't be found on xfce add/remove and I found it on synaptic
[10:09] <threeseas> dup stuff into the blank cd/dvd icon and then open it and click on write to disc - in order to get a ghosted dialog box
[10:09] <eck> lkthomas: yes, because the gnome/xfce add/remove programs are meant to be simplified
[10:09] <lkthomas> eck, hmm
[10:09] <Woodrow> has anyone ever had problems with invisible texts in ubuntu?
[10:10] <eck> lkthomas: the idea is to make adding and removing the most popular software programs as easy as possible for new users
[10:10] <lkthomas> alright
[10:10] <threeseas> can't get here from here -- shell beach
[10:10] <Menasim1> only 9 MB!!!!!!
[10:12] <Anohaakten> someone in here has to have beryl installed
[10:12] <crimsun> Anohaakten: why don't you ask in #ubuntu-effects?
[10:13] <Anohaakten> cuz nobody is in that chatroom
[10:13] <regress> http://rafb.net/p/mSwnEu89.html <-sndstat http://rafb.net/p/Idxt4G54.html <--amixer http://rafb.net/p/bHzaKY83.html <--lspci
[10:14] <Anohaakten> just kidding
[10:14] <PIT_> 
[10:15] <crimsun> regress: well lo and behold, 'Capture' is both muted and zeroed.
[10:15] <riaal> morning, how do I check if my wireless network card in installed proparly? it is supose to be supported, used it in an drapper computer before (now edgy)
[10:15] <Askar> !hdparm
[10:15] <ubotu> hdparm: tune hard disk parameters for high performance. In component main, is standard. Version 6.6-1ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 57 kB, installed size 228 kB
[10:16] <regress> crimsun: I don't have a "capture" tab on the volume control
[10:16] <eck> riaal: use iwconfig
[10:16] <Askar> Should I have the hdparm service turned on or off att boot?
[10:16] <eck> riaal: you should get a least one device that doesn't say no wireless extensiosn
[10:16] <regress> so...not sure how I could have found out, hehe ;)
[10:16] <regress> ah
[10:17] <regress> I'm an idiot
[10:17] <regress> ok
[10:17] <regress> I changed the device to the Analog Device (OSS Mixer), there's the capture tab
[10:17] <eck> Askar: if you have a non-scsi and want to configure it, it doesn't hurt
[10:17] <crimsun> regress: or you could have chosen Edit> Preferences  and added it.
[10:17] <regress> I see....I had assumed OSS was the old style and I should just use the ALSA one
[10:18] <Woodrow> what do I do, if the text of buttons, menubars and documents has become invisible?  http://xs413.xs.to/xs413/07102/also_buttons.png
[10:18] <regress> crimsun: no, there's no "capture" in the edit->preferences
[10:18] <riaal> eck,  lo= no wi,  eth0 = no wi, ra0 = Wireless, sit0 = no wireless
[10:18] <regress> there's "phone capture" and "aux capture"
[10:18] <eck> riaal: then ra0 is your wireless card
[10:18] <regress> great though, thanks!
[10:18] <Askar> eck: I dont know what I have really.. I have a laptop
[10:18] <riaal> eck, ok, so its probably working?
[10:19] <eck> Askar: you can probably get a performance increase by turning it on
[10:19] <eck> Askar: iirc setting it up is kind of manual and tedious
[10:19] <lkthomas> brb
[10:19] <Ademan> are there any alternatives to dosbox? dosbox is unbearably slow for what i want it for (nostalgic game playing)
[10:19] <regress> nevermind, it still doesn't work
[10:19] <eck> riaal: probably, at least you have the correct kernel module (otherwise it wouldn't show up at all)
[10:20] <Askar> eck: So i dont get better performace by just turning it on, I must set it up?
[10:20] <riaal> eck, great
[10:20] <riaal> eck, thanks
[10:20] <Askar> !bootclean
[10:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bootclean - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:20] <crimsun> regress: is Capture unmuted and set to non-zero?
[10:21] <eck> Askar: look at /etc/hdparm.conf
[10:21] <crimsun> regress: i.e., amixer -c0 sget 'Capture'
[10:21] <eck> Askar: you would have to figure out what modes your hdd supports, and then set up hdparm to use those parameters through /etc/hdparm.conf
[10:22] <regress> crimsun: I'll send you my screenshots...
[10:22] <crimsun> regress: why? just pastebin the output from that command
[10:22] <eck> Askar: if you want to give it a shot, look at this http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Use_hdparm_to_improve_IDE_device_performance
[10:22] <Askar> eck: Ok, will do. I have every service turned off exept for gdm, odccm, dbus and inetutils-inetd. Is there something else I should turnn on?
[10:22] <regress> http://img215.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotvolumecontrolir0.png
[10:22] <regress> ok
[10:23] <regress> I think capture is set to 0...
[10:23] <regress> output > http://rafb.net/p/2Z6vOe73.html
[10:23] <ekul1> !superuser
[10:23] <crimsun> regress: it's still muted and zeroed.
[10:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about superuser - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:23] <posingaspopular> !sudo
[10:23] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[10:24] <crimsun> regress: I don't know how you expect to capture audible stuff with it muted and zeroed.
[10:24] <ekul1> cheers :D
[10:24] <regress> crimsun: sure, I'll go ahead and unmute, just tell me how
[10:24] <ekul1> this flashplayer doesnt seem to be downloading though :(
[10:24] <regress> I think I have unmuted everything in the gui
[10:24] <posingaspopular> ekul1: i have te same problem
[10:24] <posingaspopular> still havent got it to work
[10:24] <jussi01> ekul1, the flashplayer takes forever
[10:25] <crimsun> regress: amixer -c0 set 'Capture' cap && amixer -c0 set 'Capture' 90%,90%
[10:25] <regress> ...
[10:25] <crimsun> that's a command. Copy and paste it.
[10:26] <regress> heh, yes, I got that
[10:26] <regress> just a bit far away from gui simplicity, hehe
[10:26] <regress> I don't feel so stupid for not knowing the answer to this now..
[10:26] <crimsun> then use something like pulseaudio
[10:26] <regress> ok!
[10:26] <regress> it works!
[10:26] <humaka> hi,
[10:26] <Werdnus> hello, adept screwed up and I now have no /sbin/init. What do I need to do to get it back (I'm chrooted into it off an OpenSUSE livecd)
[10:26] <regress> thanks
[10:26] <crimsun> of course it works.
[10:26] <regress> I'll check out pulseaudio
[10:27] <Werdnus> is init in a specific package?
[10:27] <crimsun> Werdnus: yes.
[10:27] <mneptok> threeseas: sleep, now.
[10:27] <regress> c'mon man, you attitude is like I'm an idiot...but I'm not sure how I could have known this was the problem, nor what the solution was...it was far from obvious
[10:27] <Werdnus> crimsun: the implied question was "which package is init in". apologies for not being clearer
[10:27] <threeseas> how do you recover or reinstall without losing your files ?
[10:27] <mneptok> threeseas: reinstall and tell the installer not to format
[10:27] <crimsun> regress: I'm not saying you're an idiot; I'm addressing the fact that people would rather trash-talk alsa than actually step through the problem.
[10:28] <regress> heh, I said nothing about ALSA
[10:28] <mneptok> crimsun: i'd rather trash-talk ESD or OSS  ;)
[10:28] <regress> and I was more than willing to step through each portion
[10:28] <regress> anyway, I'll say thank you again
[10:28] <regress> and back to googling for my other questions
[10:28] <M_Fatih> i have a problem with apt, i don't know what is this, when i trying to use apt, it prints some lines like errors but my task works fine, i'm installing and removing packages succesfully but i think there is somethings, this is the lines : http://paste.linux-sevenler.org/index.php?id=447
[10:29] <Woodrow> what do I do, if the text of buttons, menubars and documents has become invisible?  http://xs413.xs.to/xs413/07102/also_buttons.png
[10:30] <eck> Askar: I think most of them are ok to keep on, especially since ubuntu boots pretty quickly
[10:30] <humaka> I am trying to update 6.0.6 to 6.10 and upgrade fails to fetch mozilla-thunderbird package, I think the package seems to be too small 4.5, can someone help me? Thanks
[10:30] <eck> Askar: you will find out what you need to turn on as things break
[10:30] <eshaase> how do i scan my entire hard disk for bad blocks?
[10:30] <Werdnus> crimsun: are you aware of which package init is in? if so, which one is it?
[10:30] <jussi01> Woodrow, what version are you using?
[10:30] <Woodrow> Dapper
[10:30] <Woodrow> lts
[10:30] <regress> is there a way to tie headphone and master/pcm volume together - i.e. master volume goes down, headphone volume goes down?
[10:30] <jussi01> Woodrow, you using compiz?
[10:31] <crimsun> regress: sure, you need a quirk for that
[10:31] <eck> Askar: you are also missing a number of really big ones like cron
[10:31] <Woodrow> i tried to install xgl and compiz - that's how this happened
[10:31] <Woodrow> I removed it already but it didn't change the problem
[10:31] <jussi01> regress, there is a patch, but its quite hard to install
[10:31] <threeseas> mneptok: thats a trust thing.... since the first install didn't really make the /home partition I told it to...hmmm - it won't write to cd/dvd ...I'm being held hostage
[10:31] <eck> and udev
[10:31] <regress> ah, ok
[10:31] <crimsun> jussi01: he doesn't need a patch.
[10:31] <Askar> !backport
[10:31] <cyphase> has anyone else noticed that more and more TV shows are using Linux on computers?
[10:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about backport - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:31] <regress> a quirk?
[10:31] <crimsun> it's a simple modprobe snd-intel8x0 ac97_quirk=hp_only
[10:32] <eck> Askar: i wouldn't be surprised if you could not boot in that configuration
[10:32] <regress> jesus, how do you know that?
[10:34] <crimsun> regress: magic.
[10:34] <Woodrow> jussi01: should I reinstall it?
[10:34] <Askar> eck: Once my computer is booted, the system will not bee slower if I have a lot of services running?
[10:34] <jussi01> crimsun, thanks!! didnt know about that one - there was a patch released a while back
[10:34] <regress> heh, alright
[10:34] <eshaase> how do i scan my hard disk for bad blocks?
[10:34] <eck> Askar: yes, but they are always sleeping. they do nothing but take up a few megabytes of ram, if you are not using them
[10:34] <jussi01> Woodrow, try looging out and selecting a non xgl session
[10:34] <eck> Askar: and if you turn off critical services you risk severely breaking your system
[10:34] <Woodrow> jussi01: I am in an gnome session. xgl is already removed
[10:34] <Woodrow> -n
[10:34] <eck> Askar: if you have more than 100 MB of ram you can afford to keep the essential services on, with no slowdown after the system is booted
[10:34] <Askar> eck: I am using BUM. I dont think it lets me turn of critical services like cron.. thats good :)
[10:34] <regress> so run that command then restart?
[10:34] <Woodrow> jussi01: gnome is my standard session
[10:34] <threeseas> guess its a buy another drive - move my files to it  and then wipe the installationS (2) form the two drive in teh system now.
[10:34] <crimsun> regress: no, you need to close all audio apps, then do this:   kill $(lsof -t /dev/dsp* /dev/snd/*) ; sudo modprobe -r snd_intel8x0 && sudo modprobe snd-intel8x0 ac97_quirk=hp_only
[10:35] <threeseas> I suspect it won't let me do that... maybe ubuntus last name is murphy
[10:35] <Askar> !backports
[10:35] <ubotu> If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[10:35] <jussi01> Woodrow, Im not sure how to fix it exactly, but do try logging out and checking your sessions. you can still be in gnome with an xgl session
[10:36] <threeseas> oh well more time wasted with technology that is suppose to save time
[10:37] <coolmudit> hi everyone
[10:37] <Woodrow> jussi01: I don't have xgl anymore. and I am already in a gnome
[10:37] <regress> crimsun: thanks! everything great now!
[10:37] <regress> have a good night then, all
[10:37] <coolmudit> this is the first time i am accessing this chatroom
[10:38] <coolmudit> do i need to register or anything?
[10:39] <kraut> hi, i have a problem with a glogic fc hba and sansurfer. when i start sansurfer, i get this error message in dmesg: http://exodus.packetloss.biz/~fek/temp/qlremote_kernel-problem
[10:39] <kraut> anybody an idea what's getting wrong?
[10:40] <Woodrow> jussi01: but I can do that nevertheless. so, what should I check once logged out?
[10:40] <jussi01> Woodrow, just check you are in standard gnome
[10:40] <eck> kraut: yeah, whoever wrote the kernel module messed up
[10:41] <Woodrow> ok
[10:41] <IkimashoZ> Okay, so I'm in Ubuntu at home, so my card obviously works.  The icon shows up in Networking.  However, when I click on the networking icon in the upper right, it doesn't display my wireless connection
[10:41] <tuxcrafter> Hello, i got a guestion i am fine tuning my xubuntu installation and got a list of modules I dont need and that i have removed with the rmmod tool.  I did a update-modules but they are still loaded during bootup, what is the correct way to disable them?\
[10:41] <IkimashoZ> this is not a huge problem, obviously
[10:41] <IkimashoZ> but it'd be nice to see it
[10:41] <IkimashoZ> any ideas??
[10:41] <kraut> eck: i know, but what should i do?
[10:42] <jussi01> IkimashoZ, try right clicking and seeing if its another connection listed there
[10:42] <mneptok> IkimashoZ: just because the device is displayed does not mean Linux can actually use it. are you able to connect with that card?
[10:42] <IkimashoZ> yes
[10:42] <IkimashoZ> I'm connecting with the card for sure
[10:43] <mneptok> IkimashoZ: GNOME?
[10:43] <IkimashoZ> because there's no other way I could be connected
[10:43] <IkimashoZ> GNOME
[10:43] <Helmi> i'm playing around with smb mounts in ubuntu. according to the wiki (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently) it should be possible to use the ~/ shortcut for the smbcredentials-file but as long as i use it like this i  get "error 2 opening credential file..." when is user "/home/username/.smbcredentials" everything works fine - ideas anyone? kinda senseless using the full path...
[10:43] <mneptok> IkimashoZ: sudo aptitude install network-manager-gnome
[10:43] <Helmi> ...for a global file :)
[10:43] <IkimashoZ> thank you mneptok!
[10:43] <Askar> How do I change the look of my gnomepanels..? If I change the colour, the buttons is still gray..
[10:44] <tuxcrafter> Hello, i got a question i am fine tuning my xubuntu installation and got a list of modules I don't need and that i have removed with the rmmod tool.  I did a update-modules but they are still loaded during boot-up, what is the correct way to disable them?
[10:44] <mneptok> Helmi: smb.conf is read by root. so ~/ is being interpreted as /root
[10:44] <jussi01> Askar, just right click on the panel, then choose the background tab
[10:44] <IkimashoZ> Unrecognized input.  Enter either "Yes" or "No".
[10:44] <IkimashoZ> Do you want to ignore this warning and proceed anyway?
[10:44] <IkimashoZ> To continue, enter "Yes"; to abort, enter "No":
[10:44] <IkimashoZ> what should I do?
[10:45] <mneptok> type Yes
[10:45] <Helmi> mneptok: ok i thought this ... so i have to reenter the mount in fstab for every single user?
[10:45] <mneptok> Helmi: /home/$USERNAME
[10:45] <IkimashoZ> on my 3rd time
[10:45] <Askar>  jussi01: the buttons is still gray if I do so
[10:45] <Helmi> mneptok: thanks
[10:45] <IkimashoZ> how many times should I expect it to do this?
[10:45] <mneptok> IkimashoZ: what did you type exactly?
[10:46] <IkimashoZ> y
[10:46] <IkimashoZ> ah
[10:46] <IkimashoZ> ic
[10:46] <IkimashoZ> sorry
[10:46] <eck> kraut: file a bug in launchpad
[10:46] <eck> kraut: they will probably report it upstream and ask you if you can replicate the problem
[10:46] <IkimashoZ> okay, install complete
[10:46] <IkimashoZ> should I restart?
[10:46] <eck> kraut: if you can, there's a good chance it will be fixed in a future kernel
[10:47] <Helmi> mneptok: doesn't this have the same effect than ~ ?
[10:47] <mneptok> IkimashoZ: remove the GNOME networking panel applet. then reboot.
[10:47] <kraut> eck: it's reproducable
[10:47] <mneptok> Helmi: /home/~USERNAME is a fully qualified path. ~/ is not.
[10:47] <mneptok> err
[10:48] <mneptok>  /home/$USERNAME
[10:48] <eck> kraut: file a bug in launchpad and make sure you're subscribed to it or checking it
[10:48] <eck> kraut: they will probably give you instructions on how to collect debugging data to submit
[10:49] <Saiz> Hai I have a problem, everytime I try to boot the live CD on this comp GNOME bugs out and doesn't load properly and essentially the whole thing wont work or so slow that watching a snail slide forward for 3 days is more interesting and faster.
[10:49] <eck> Saiz: how much ram?
[10:49] <tuxcrafter>  Hello, i got a question i am fine tuning my xubuntu installation and got a list of modules I don't need and that i have removed with the rmmod tool.  I did a update-modules but they are still loaded during boot-up, what is the correct way to disable them?
[10:49] <Saiz> 256
[10:49] <kraut> eck: sure, but i need a solution to yesterday :/
[10:49] <Helmi> so $USERNAME or ~USERNAME?
[10:50] <mneptok> $USERNAME
[10:50] <bitwizelogic> anyone having lots of problems with flash in linux, and a possible solution; i used automatix to install flash 9 in swiftfox?
[10:50] <eck> kraut: get the latest kernel from upstream and compile it, there is a possibility that it is already fixed
[10:50] <Helmi> mneptok: still the same error: "error 2 opening credential file /home/~USERNAME/.smbcredentials"
[10:50] <Helmi> sorry substitute ~ with $
[10:50] <Helmi> changed that
[10:50] <mneptok> Helmi: did you restart Samba?
[10:50] <shahzad> i need a bit of help if some one is availabel to help, and I m pretty new to all this linux stuff !
[10:50] <kraut> eck: hmm, i'd like to use the edgy kernel :/
[10:51] <Askar> bitwizelogic: I have problems wieving some flash movies..
[10:51] <kraut> eck: but i'll test it
[10:51] <Saiz> eck, 256mb's D:
[10:51] <mneptok> Helmi: is there, in fact, a .smbcredentials in your home?
[10:51] <Helmi> mneptok: not yet - didn't see the reason - but will now
[10:51] <bitwizelogic> toyota.com seems to be the worst that I've run into so far
[10:51] <shahzad> i dont know why but I can't access my hard drives throug linux, though they work fine on windows !
[10:51] <Helmi> mneptok: yeah it works when using /home/myname/.smbcredentials
[10:51] <eck> Saiz: i am not sure if that is enough
[10:51] <cybermad> yahoo messenger is undefeatable :( i look the server configuration of Yahoo Messenger in Gaim, then i block the scs.msg.yahoo.com and cs.yahoo.co.jp as define in Gaim configuration (Yahoo Messenger)
[10:52] <eck> Saiz: i think the minimum requirement is 256 MB, but i am not sure if that is actually enough to fully boot without getting OOM errors
[10:52] <cybermad> any idea how to block it?
[10:52] <Saiz> mmk
[10:52] <shahzad> any help ?
[10:52] <Saiz> i'll go out and buy more ram later then i guess
[10:52] <shahzad> please !
[10:52] <eck> Saiz: typically what happens if you get OOM when gnome is starting is that it will notice that the processes it is starting have died and will keep trying to restart them
[10:52] <eck> which is very annoying
[10:52] <shahzad> i need help... anyone ?
[10:53] <Saiz> I see o_o
[10:53] <eck> Saiz: you can also use the alternate install
[10:53] <Thuryn> sup
[10:53] <eck> Saiz: after you have installed, 256 MB is fine, it's just an issue with the live cd trying to load everything into ram and not being allowed to keep files on disk
[10:54] <shahzad> yohoo /
[10:54] <Saiz> Ah I see, is there anyway to directly install from the live cd?
[10:54] <shahzad> i m not a pretty geeko, some one help please 1
[10:54] <yomm> My gnome-screensvaer is regularly locking up my entire box , 2 out of 10 I can't exit the screensaver at all , not with ctrl-alt-bckspc / or delete ...Anyone else having this issue ?
[10:54] <eck> Saiz: i think you need to download the alternate install (or the netboot install) CD
[10:55] <mneptok> yomm: everyone with poor 3D drivers, yes.
[10:55] <Saiz> ok.
[10:55] <Woodrow> re
[10:55] <shahzad> am I at the wrong place asking for help ?
[10:55] <Helmi> mneptok: you're sure $USERNAME works within fstab? it seems like it's not substituted
[10:55] <mneptok> yomm: change the 'saver prefs to blank the screen only
[10:55] <Woodrow> the problem still remains
[10:55] <mneptok> Helmi: you should not be editing fstab
[10:55] <Woodrow> ... great (-.-' )
[10:55] <mneptok> Helmi: what are you trying to do?
[10:56] <eck> Saiz: for the install consider using xubuntu, it will work better than gnome for the amount of ram you have
[10:56] <Helmi> mneptok: for what reason?
[10:56] <Thuryn> good
[10:56] <Helmi> mneptok: trying to mount a smb share from another pc in the network ;)
[10:56] <ekul1> Hey, i tried to install flashplugin-nonfree but its just not downloading, now i cant use Synaptic till i get it to download and install, how can I? Just says Downloading... for ages
[10:56] <mneptok> Helmi: and why do you need to do that from fstab?
[10:57] <Helmi> mneptok: i'm a noob so i'm just following the wiki
[10:58] <mneptok> Helmi: Places -> Connect to server
[10:58] <Helmi> mneptok: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[10:58] <yomm> mneptok :I'm using the latest nvidia official drivers
[10:59] <Helmi> mneptok: that's the clicky way, isn't it? :)
[10:59] <yomm> mneptok : And the blank screen was the default setting :/
[10:59] <mneptok> Helmi: man smbclient
[10:59] <eck> Helmi: haha, i like that, "clicky way"
[11:00] <yomm> It's like the milky way , but more .. err .. clicky :)
[11:00] <eck> yomm: i think if X locks up it will put a log somewhere, maybe /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[11:01] <Helmi> mneptok: do mounts via the "places->connect to server" way get saved for future sessions and get automounted on boot?
[11:01] <alexIdoia> hey what daemon is responsible of sound ?
[11:01] <alexIdoia> in edgy
[11:01] <yomm> eck : Ok , I'll check that file !
[11:01] <mneptok> Helmi: no. and they shouldn't
[11:01] <Helmi> mneptok: ok than that's not the way i'd like to have :)
[11:01] <eck> alexIdoia: in gnome? probably esd
[11:01] <eck> which uses alsa, but afaik that isn't really a daemon
[11:01] <mneptok> Helmi: don't be a typical "who cares about system security?! I'M LAZY!" Windows user ;)
[11:02] <alexIdoia> eck: that is what I thought but I could /etc/init.d/esd restart it
[11:02] <alexIdoia> eck: no process of such name
[11:02] <eck> alexIdoia: i think it's a per login daemon
[11:03] <Helmi> mneptok: hmm what's that got to do with security? i got a networks storage device (raid) where i save all my documents instead of saving them locally - so why not automounting this share instead of mounting it manually each time i'd like to save a file (about 200 times a day?)
[11:03] <yomm> eck : Not a single error in that log
[11:03] <alexIdoia> another thing I want to add dictionnary to evolution, how do I do this ?
[11:03] <Helmi> maybe i'm the only one not seeing the security hole here :)
[11:03] <eck> yomm: check /var/log/{messages,syslog}
[11:04] <mneptok> Helmi: uhhh .... you don't see a problem in storing your cleartext server password in a text file?
[11:04] <eck> world readable even
[11:04] <mneptok> Helmi: and you mount it once. when you boot up. done. once por day.
[11:04] <yomm> mneptok : He could use credentials , no ?
[11:04] <mneptok> *per
[11:04] <alexIdoia> eck:  do you know about how to add a dictionnary to evolution ?
[11:04] <Helmi> hmm as it's not a relevant password yes - would i save the documents locally there probably wouldn't be much difference?
[11:05] <mneptok> Helmi: how is any password not relevant?
[11:05] <eck> alexIdoia: i think gnome uses aspell, so i guess that's what evolution would use
[11:06] <eck> alexIdoia: i would ask on #evolution (on irc.gnome.org), they have helped me in the past
[11:07] <stalk> hello all =)
[11:07] <yomm> Mneptik : I use the credential/fstab procedure to (auto) mount my smb shares after boot , is this considered unsafe ?
[11:07] <alexIdoia> eck: off course, thanks, also I have not solved my sound problem here, I have no sound sundenly and I don't know how to diagnostic , should I reboot ? uh
[11:07] <eck> alexIdoia: you should be able to use alsa directly with aplay
[11:08] <eck> alexIdoia: you can use that to figure out if the problem is in alsa or esd
[11:08] <Helmi> mneptok: ok i just thought it couldn't take long until this discussion raises in a linux channel ;) some things never change
[11:08] <alexIdoia> aplay ?
[11:08] <eck> i think you have to use a .wav file
[11:08] <alexIdoia> ah ok
[11:08] <tensor> i need some help on       using kdevelop
[11:08] <__max_> anyone know whats bugged out when i can no longer just press the left/right arrows and let the cursor "slide" through what iv written? i now have to press right/left like a gazillion times to correct stuff in command lines.
[11:08] <eck> it's the basic alsa client that is distributed with alsa
[11:08] <alexIdoia> all daemon say that the resource is busy
[11:09] <__max_> its not just in xterm/aterm etc, its systemglobal.
[11:09] <eck> if you are feeling really brave, you can replace esd with pulseaudio
[11:10] <mneptok> Helmi: yes. you're right. some things never change. experienced Unix users will always tell you storing passwords in files is a bad idea. because, well .... IT IS
[11:10] <suker> t
[11:10] <eck> alexIdoia: http://live.gnome.org/PulseAudio
[11:11] <alexIdoia> eck: I can't hear anysound, how can I restart the daemon ? there is no /etc/init.d/esd nor /etc/init.d/asla
[11:11] <Jowi> __max_, gnome-keyboard-properties. try disable + reenable the keyrepeat
[11:11] <eck> alexIdoia: i think alsa accesses the sound card directly
[11:11] <__max_> jowi : thanks.
[11:11] <Helmi> mneptok: you tried to help me (i'm very thankful for that), it unfortunately didn't work and the next argument is "don't do it that way - it's insecure" - i'm really not the one ignoring security at all. but there definitely ARE some other important things like security like performance and workflow and if that way of mounting shares is that bad we sould probably take it out of the wiki
[11:11] <eck> if alsa doesn't work it is an issue with the kernel not talking to hardware properly, you would probably have to reload the alsa modules
[11:12] <eck> or possibly restart
[11:12] <alexIdoia> eck:  how to I restart the alsa module ?
[11:12] <alexIdoia> is it modprobe ?
[11:12] <eck> yeah
[11:12] <mneptok> Helmi: if you're not ignoring security, who is?
[11:13] <Helmi> mneptok: okay, let's stop here - doesn't make sense.
[11:13] <mneptok> Helmi: you admit you're new to Unix. i have been using it for 25 years. why would you argue with me about it?
[11:14] <mneptok> Helmi: if you want advice from experienced people you have to be willing to accept that that advice may sometimes not be what you want to hear.
[11:15] <Helmi> mneptok: i'm really new in using linux on my desktop. it's not that i never had anything to do with it. And i have to do with unix freaks for about 15 years and that's why i can say the discussion is always the same
[11:15] <riaal> Can I actevate my wireless card whit out having to configure it? =S
[11:15] <mneptok> Helmi: have you stopped to consider that maybe the discussion is the same because they know what tehy're talking about?
[11:16] <mneptok> riaal: what card?
[11:17] <riaal> mneptok, its a Cnet PCI cad, have used it in another breezy computer before, autoinstalled
[11:17] <riaal> mneptok,  im running edgy now.
[11:17] <mneptok> riaal: chipset?
[11:18] <riaal> mneptok, ? (sorry)
[11:18] <mneptok> riaal: what wireless chipset does the card use?
[11:18] <mneptok> Broadcom? Atheros? Intel?
[11:18] <alexIdoia> eck: how do you reconfigure aspell ?
[11:18] <Helmi> mneptok: for you security is a binary parameter - there's only "secure" or "insecure" - probably i'm just too dumb but for me there are some step in between and if i am using a share with irrelevant documents using a password i don't use for the criticals stuff it's not too silly to store it just to make it more comfortable - what if the login credentials would be just guest-credentials  or...
[11:18] <Helmi> ...other stuff? you don't know the situation here in the local network, do you? so why does it always have to be bad and insecure - a single advice like "but be adviced you should not store passowrds in plain text files" would probably enough? sometime noobs also think about the stuff. of course you're right - abstracted. Storing passwords in plain text files IS bad.
[11:19] <riaal> mneptok, not sure, on sec
[11:19] <alexIdoia> I did a dpkg-reconfigure aspell but it returned a "done"
[11:19] <Helmi> mneptok: it's just the way these discussions take that i don't like - i don't say you're wrong.
[11:19] <mneptok> Helmi: if it's bad, don't do it. mount the drive manually once per day when you boot and be done with it.
[11:20] <lkthomas> anyone got problem to compile latest version of kernel ?
[11:20] <mneptok> Helmi: not only more secure, but far easier.
[11:20] <eck> alexIdoia: try DEBIAN_PRIORITY=low dpkg-reconfigure aspell
[11:20] <Helmi> mneptok: so entering all the data for each single share every day? hmm
[11:20] <eck> just a guess
[11:21] <mneptok> Helmi: or use a shell script taht calls smbclient and prompts you for your password.
[11:21] <alexIdoia> eck: command not found
[11:22] <eck> omit the 'try'
[11:22] <alexIdoia> eck: off course :)
[11:22] <yomm> Helmi : I'd go for that latest advice
[11:22] <roland__> why do i get at each upgrade of ubuntu when its nearing the end at the last few packages i get connection reset
[11:23] <yomm> mneptok : so the answer to my former question to you would be a big yes ?
[11:23] <riaal> mneptok, look here, can you find it? http://www.cnet.com.tw/product/cwp-854.htm  I sure cant, crap :S
[11:24] <alexIdoia> eck I put it into two lines but I get the same result, I guess the package aspell does prompt the user for configuration that is all
[11:24] <adonis827> hi guys!
[11:24] <eck> alexIdoia: try setting your LANG variable as you launch an application
[11:25] <eck> e.g. LANG=foo evolution
[11:25] <alexIdoia> eck: I have also tried dpkg-reconfigure locales but it does not prompt me for anything, it does something and ends with Generation Complete
[11:25] <adonis827> newb guestion-
[11:25] <posingaspopular> ask
[11:25] <alexIdoia> eck:  but that won't be definitive would not it ?
[11:25] <riaal> mneptok, I found linux drivers for it here: http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Linux.html but I think it is supose to autoinstall whit ubuntu
[11:25] <posingaspopular> !ask
[11:25] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:26] <eck> alexIdoia: i think it would be if you put it in your ~/.bash_profile
[11:26] <adonis827> what is the difference between "install to the hard disk" and "install a lamp server" in the ubuntu server cd boot screen?
[11:26] <Jowi> !lamp
[11:26] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[11:26] <mneptok> riaal: it's a Ralink chipset
[11:26] <Jowi> adonis827, the lamp option installs the above, the "server" does not
[11:27] <mneptok> riaal: sudo aptitude install linux-restricted-modules
[11:27] <eck> alexIdoia: or if you change your language in gdm, but obviously that might change more than you want
[11:27] <alexIdoia> eck locale not found
[11:27] <alexIdoia> yep
[11:27] <alexIdoia> no
[11:27] <riaal> mneptok, aptitude = apt-get in ubuntu?
[11:27] <eck> alexIdoia: you would need to replace foo with the locale
[11:27] <adonis827> thanks jowi! what's a server without a lamp anyway? :lol
[11:27] <alexIdoia> I used to do a dpkg-reconfigure locaes and it used to prompt me, i don
[11:27] <alexIdoia> 't understant
[11:27] <mneptok> riaal: aptitude = apt-get + ncurses
[11:28] <eck> alexIdoia: did you try the DEBIAN_PRIORITY trick?
[11:28] <Jowi> adonis827, you can use lighttpd and a different sql server for starter :)
[11:28] <alexIdoia> yep I did same
[11:28] <eck> oh
[11:28] <alexIdoia> might it be because I am in the Xserver ?
[11:28] <eck> it's DEBCONF_PRIORITY
[11:28] <eck> that's why
[11:28] <mneptok> thttpd FTW
[11:28] <adonis827> ok. i thought installing to hard disk already contains the server. guess i was wrong
[11:28] <adonis827> i mean the lamp and all
[11:29] <adonis827> new install coming up
[11:29] <eck> apache for concurrency :-)
[11:29] <adonis827> just about right now :)
[11:29] <foutrelis> From your experience, what happens when you have about 500+ mb cached RAM (1 GB in total) and try to run a program which demands lots of ram? Does the system get slower?
[11:29] <alexIdoia> eck: same of the same
[11:29] <riaal> mneptok, "Couldn't find package "linux-restricted-modules"
[11:29] <XBlog> Hi all
[11:29] <Sir`Psycho> hi XBlog :D
[11:29] <mneptok> riaal: sudo aptitude update
[11:29] <mneptok> riaal: then try again
[11:30] <Sir`Psycho> there are a lot of people here :) i hope someone can help you  :P
[11:30] <adonis827> @foutrelis any system should
[11:30] <XBlog> hi Sir`Psycho :)
[11:30] <Jowi> adonis827, the server install is very minimal and a nice foundation for whatever server platform you wish to set up (not just lamp).
[11:30] <eck> foutrelis: are you asking what happens if you push out the disk cache? it depends what kind of applications you are running
[11:30] <riaal> mneptok, same problem, is it in univers?
[11:30] <Shadowpillar> !webcams
[11:30] <ubotu> Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[11:30] <eck> alexIdoia: well i am not sure then
[11:30] <adonis827> ok thanks jowi. so the lamp server is a superset of the "install to hard disk" then?
[11:31] <adonis827> why didn't ubuntu made the lamp install default then?
[11:31] <mneptok> riaal: sudo aptitude install linux-restricted-modules-generic
[11:31] <mneptok> riaal: sorry.
[11:31] <Jowi> adonis827, yep. well, not everyone want lamp.
[11:31] <Jowi> like me

[11:32] <mneptok> ;)
[11:32] <eck> foutrelis: if you have disk I/O intensive needs then the cache will save you, otherwise it is not a big deal
[11:32] <adonis827> so what's your server setup jowi?
[11:32] <riaal> mneptok, awesome, thanks a lot, is it supose to work now or do I need to do somehting else?
[11:32] <XBlog> Sorry, can i install liloboot on a usb drive ?
[11:32] <adonis827> the default install does not even have ssh
[11:33] <foutrelis> eck: I mean, when free -m outputs 981mb used and 688mb cached and I try to, let's say, make mysql from source.
[11:33] <Jowi> adonis827, just a basic lighttpd server, ssh, nfs.
[11:33] <mneptok> riaal: "suod aptitude install network-manager-gnome" then reboot
[11:33] <mneptok> *sudo
[11:33] <Jowi> adonis827, nothing fancy
[11:33] <foutrelis> eck: Will Linux manage my RAM correctly? or will the system seem slower?
[11:33] <foutrelis> *slow
[11:33] <eck> foutrelis: in that case it will not be a big deal, because gcc is CPU intensive
[11:34] <riaal> mneptok, thanks a lot! :)
[11:34] <adonis827> hmm i am not familiar with lighthttpd. what do you use if for?
[11:34] <adonis827> can you use php with it?
[11:34] <eck> foutrelis: on the other hand, if you are running a big database and use up all the ram so there is not a lot of cache left over, then the database won't be able to use the kernel caches of the disk, and it will slow it down noticeably
[11:34] <mneptok> adonis827: of course. in CGI mode.
[11:34] <adonis827> nice
[11:34] <Jowi> adonis827, it is a webserver. and php work fine
[11:35] <mneptok> adonis827: and the CGI handling of Lighty is light years beyond Apache
[11:35] <adonis827> would all of my php apps work in lighthttpd?
[11:35] <foutrelis> eck: Thank you very much for all the info! :) Summary: Does Linux manages RAM in an effective way? :)
[11:36] <eck> foutrelis: yes :-)
[11:36] <kidbuntu> is there a channel where I could ask about programming?
[11:36] <Jowi> adonis827, and my ram usage went from a couple of hundreds of megabytes (apache) to 1-2 megabytes (lighttpd). quite important for me since it's just a simple site.
[11:36] <mneptok> adonis827: yes
[11:36] <eck> well, it will do the best job it can
[11:36] <foutrelis> eck: Yay :P Thanks again. ;)
[11:36] <adonis827> i am about to setup a home lamp server with just 392 ram with no x and everything else
[11:36] <mneptok> Jowi: if you think that's a good memory footprint, check out thttpd ;)
[11:37] <adonis827> are we starting a web server war in here?
[11:37] <mneptok> Jowi: thttpd is currently serving up montreal.canonical.com from a Mac68K with 32MB RAM and NetBSD ;)
[11:37] <adonis827> :D
[11:37] <foutrelis> mneptok: wow
[11:37] <adonis827> nice to hear that
[11:37] <Jowi> mneptok, nah, no need to push it lower than that atm. but i will keep it in mind in case i need a webserver for my PDA :)
[11:37] <mneptok> foutrelis: good luck with Apache on that Quadra 605 ;)
[11:38] <Sp4rKy> hi
[11:38] <Sp4rKy> does anyone use tinyerp ?
[11:38] <foutrelis> mneptok: lol :)
[11:38] <leagris> mneptok, let's try the deathly SlashDot test ;P
[11:38] <adonis827> i thought my p3 500 mhz server would be so obsolete
[11:38] <adonis827> :lol
[11:38] <mneptok> Jowi: also does throttling, if you want a different httpd handing out big media files
[11:38] <Jowi> mneptok, ah ok. very nice.
[11:38] <eck> mneptok: good luck with thttpd on your web server with 10,000 concurrent connections :-)
[11:38] <Sp4rKy> i install server part on my server, but the client side doesn't want to connect to him (client is on my computer), whereas a telnet myserver 8069 works , any idea ?
[11:39] <bikini> how do i change the size of my desktop icons? they're too damn big.
[11:39] <Anohaakten> somebody in here has to have kiba-dock installed
[11:39] <eck> that, and mod_{perl,python,whatever}, are where apache wins big
[11:39] <mneptok> eck: works fine. no problems at all. good luck waiting at your desk while thttpd eats through the queue ;)
[11:39] <eck> haha, sounds about right
[11:39] <adonis827> hi sparky!
[11:39] <adonis827> what do you mean when you say you want to connect to your server?
[11:40] <goban> whats the command to start up the thing that runs KDE apps (KLauncher)
[11:40] <Anohaakten> hey, who has kiba-dock, I need to know how to install it
[11:41] <Askar> When I shutdown ubuntu, firefox complains about not being shut down correctly last time.. Do I have to close firefox before I click on shutdown ubuntu :S:S:S
[11:41] <adonis827> hi askar
[11:41] <Askar> Anohaakten: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=268645
[11:41] <adonis827> it happens just about everywhere
[11:41] <foutrelis> Askar: yes you do have to close it before shutting down :)
[11:42] <adonis827> i think that is just ok
[11:42] <Jowi> Askar, yeah. but you can turn that warning off in abou:config i beleive
[11:42] <Askar> foutrelis: hmm...thats pretty annoying...
[11:42] <Jowi> about:config i mean
[11:42] <foutrelis> Askar: not really
[11:42] <goban> all KDE apps say cannot talk to klaucher help plz
[11:42] <adonis827> guys how do you delete lvm configuration in your hard drive?
[11:42] <Askar> Jowi: Ok thanks
[11:43] <cpk1> how would I get user joe who is logged in on a konsole on user bob's X session to be able to run apps using that X screen?
[11:44] <foutrelis> Askar: Maybe Firefox could be configured not to display a warning. Don't know :)
[11:44] <adonis827> askar it is a nice feature actually if firefox hangs up
[11:44] <adonis827> then the next time you start it all the web sites you were browsing is in there
[11:45] <adonis827> !ping
[11:45] <ubotu> pong
[11:45] <Askar> adonis827: why?
[11:45] <yomm> cpk1 : x forwarding ?
[11:45] <foutrelis> Askar: In firefox enter "about:config" in your URL bar. Then in the Filter text box type "browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash"
[11:46] <bikini> does anyone know of a way to implement a coherence like mode in vmware? for windows programs?
[11:46] <foutrelis> Askar: Set this to false and your should be ok :)
[11:46] <foutrelis> Askar: Note: I have not tested it. I may not work. It's worth the shot though :)
[11:46] <Askar> foutrelis: yeah thanks then I dont get that popup at start.. But it still wont save my changes if I dont shutdown firefox before ubuntu..
[11:46] <adonis827> lamp server installing as i speak
[11:47] <cpk1> yomm: is that what its called? both users are trying to use tty7 though
[11:48] <Askar> foutrelis: Hmm dont have browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash
[11:48] <foutrelis> Askar: I cannot help further. Sorry :(
[11:48] <foutrelis> Askar: hmm
[11:48] <foutrelis> Askar: How about if you just add "crash" in the filter box?
[11:49] <adonis827> askar your question is firefox specific. i suggest asking a firefox relater channel or something else :)
[11:49] <gordonjcp> silly Gnome question, but is there a command in Ubuntu to reset all the Gnome settings back to the defaults?
[11:49] <Askar> foutrelis: Still shows nothing : /
[11:49] <Anohaakten> hey, my beryl just all the sudden stopped working, anyone know why?
[11:50] <adonis827> erase entire disk and use lvm...
[11:50] <Anohaakten> lvm?
[11:50] <mneptok> because compositing on Linux is beta?
[11:50] <foutrelis> Askar: As adonis827 suggested, you should better ask in #firefox
[11:50] <Anohaakten> wait
[11:50] <Anohaakten> is someone talking to me?
[11:50] <Askar> foutrelis: yes will do. Thanks! Is #firefox in freenode too?
[11:51] <mneptok> Anohaakten: yes, i was.
[11:51] <adonis827> anohaakten not me
[11:51] <adonis827> :lol
[11:51] <foutrelis> Askar: Yes. Wish you luck with your issue :)
[11:51] <Anohaakten> what did you mean mneptok
[11:51] <leagris> gordonjcp, something like rm -fr ~/.gnome*
[11:51] <adonis827> i am installing a lamp server right now hehe
[11:51] <adonis827> choose utc
[11:51] <Anohaakten> mneptok:  do you know how to fix it?
[11:52] <gordonjcp> leagris: hm, nothing less drastic?
[11:52] <mneptok> Anohaakten: i mean that Beryl, Compiz and all other compositing frameworks are filled with bugs and not ready for general use, IMO.
[11:52] <Anohaakten> bah
[11:52] <Anohaakten> do you have any idea how to fix it?
[11:52] <mneptok> Nitro: please lose the public /away messages
[11:52] <leagris> gordonjcp, less drastically you could dig inside the ~/.gnome* directory and remove significant user settings
[11:52] <Nitro> oh, sorry
[11:52] <mneptok> Anohaakten: nope, as i don't touch that stuff.
[11:53] <Anohaakten> hmm
[11:53] <arn_> Hi, how can I make a folder available, so that any script on that folder will be running from any other folder?
[11:53] <adonis827> what is a beryl anyway?
[11:53] <gordonjcp> leagris: now if I blow away .gnome, will it recreate it when I restart X?
[11:53] <mneptok> Anohaakten: your life will be easier if you don't, either ;)
[11:53] <_james> how to mount  on my windows partiton automatically?
[11:53] <Anohaakten> haha
[11:53] <Anohaakten> but is it so cool looking
[11:53] <Anohaakten> :(
[11:53] <adonis827> _james read on /ets/fstab
[11:53] <arn_> _james, read this ---- http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy
[11:53] <adonis827> that's /etc/fstab
[11:54] <leagris> gordonjcp, yes. If you blow out any .gnome* setting in your user dir it will default to common settings.
[11:54] <Askar> How do I disable some virtual terminals?
[11:54] <Anohaakten> how else can you make your linux "cool" mneptok
[11:54] <leagris> gordonjcp, I did that some time ago. Backup any .gnome* beforhand
[11:54] <mneptok> Anohaakten: my sister is cool looking. doesn't mean i'd sleep with her. ;)
[11:54] <Anohaakten> oh psh
[11:54] <Anohaakten> hey mneptok  do you use kiba-dock?
[11:55] <gordonjcp> leagris: yeah, I've done that before too.  Seems odd that Ubuntu doesn't have some "nice" way to reset it, but there you go...
[11:55] <mneptok> Anohaakten: download some Windows malware and watch it fail miserably. that's cool.
[11:55] <adonis827> how about i sleep with her mneptok? joking!
[11:55] <_james> !ntfs3
[11:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ntfs3 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:55] <leagris> gordonjcp, mkdir ~/.gnomeolds && mv ~/.gnome* ~/.gnomeolds
[11:55] <Anohaakten> hey mneptok im new to linux and I am just trying stuff out, come on, help a brother out
[11:55] <mneptok> Anohaakten: and i use GNOME
[11:55] <Anohaakten> no need for the sarcasm
[11:56] <_james> how to mount on windows automatically on boot? there's a script on it i think but i forgot something called ntfs-3 but im not sure.
[11:56] <adonis827> _james you need to add an entry in your /etc/fstab
[11:56] <adonis827> that's your clue
[11:56] <_james> adonis827: can you guide through it :)
[11:57] <yomm> mneptok : having said that imo Beryl has come a long way ,and is quite close to stable imo
[11:58] <yomm> mneptok : compiz I have not used
[11:58] <adonis827> _james what is the partition type that you want mounted?
[11:58] <techie_> hello all!
[11:58] <adonis827> ie ntfs or fat?
[11:58] <zubeen> techie_: hello
[11:59] <bullgard1> How can I replace the audio value 'offhook' with 'onhook'?
good morning zubeen.
[12:00] <adonis827> this one is a nice read _james- http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html
[12:00] <techie_> Can anybody tell me the command to find out how much space I got left on my C drive. I have a dual boot xp and ubuntu. In Windows I would go to my windows explorer to c and figure out by preseing properties!
[12:01] <_james> what's the command to list all hda?
[12:01] <Lynoure> techie_: C drive?
yes c drive into a dual boot
[12:01] <Lynoure> techie_: Linux does not handle local drives with that kind of names. Do you mean a disk used over Samba?
[12:01] <adonis827> you want to see the partions in hda?
[12:02] <_james> what's the command in the terminal to list all the partition?
i don't know if is samba but I use Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy
[12:02] <adonis827> try fdisk /dev/hda if it is included in ubuntu
[12:02] <Lynoure> techie_: If you mean you have ubuntu on one partition and want to see how much that partition has stuff on it, do  sudo du -sh /
probably, since I have heard others talking about samba
[12:03] <_james> any other command/
i wrote down sudo du -sh /  in my terminal and got password
[12:04] <Lynoure> techie_: Yes, that's your password
[12:04] <techie_> after pasword a blank rectangle
[12:04] <adonis827> do you use beryl on top of your window manager?
[12:04] <Lynoure> techie_: it takes a bit of time.
[12:05] <techie_> Lynoure what is the actual meaning of do  sudo du -sh /
[12:05] <Lynoure> techie_: eventually you'll get the amount of disk used
[12:05] <_james> is there any other command in the terminal to know all the partitions?
[12:06] <kontingenz> what have I done? A lot of system tools "system --> administration" are not shown. I can't sudo tools! like wifi-radar.
[12:06] <adonis827> _james check this out- http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountwindows
is giving me a bunch of lines with No such files. /mnet/windows/....blablabla
[12:06] <mneptok> _james: ls -l /dev/sd* && ls -l /dev/hd*
[12:06] <Lynoure> techie_: sudo  mean  do as root, du  is a disk usage command (see  man du), -sh means  summary, human readable (see man du) and / means starting with / directory, that is, including all
[12:06] <techie_> is going through every file in window.
[12:06] <xanthia> you could always use the gnome partition manager to view the partitions if you are careful
actually I have mounted windows so that I am able to read each window files but what I meant is how much space I got left in Ubuntu only.
[12:07] <LePoulpe303> ikonia: ping ?
[12:07] <adonis827> how about the graphical partition editor james?
[12:07] <adonis827> gparted etc
[12:07] <Lynoure> techie_: but I guess you could have done  df  too, assuming you could then recognize which drive you meant.
[12:07] <LePoulpe303> hi all
[12:07] <Lynoure> techie_: you can stop it with  ctrl+c  if it is too slow
original install I had used about 30 g in windows of which I use the 25 g left and divided them equally. I must have about 13 gig in xp now and about 11 or so in Ubuntu
it already stopped but only looking at my files in my mn/windows not in ubuntu
[12:09] <Lynoure> techie_: so you want to know how much disk your ubuntu uses or your windows uses?
[12:09] <techie_> yes and how much space is left in each
[12:09] <Lynoure> techie_: Which?
[12:09] <techie_> Ubuntu?
[12:09] <Lynoure> techie_: then do  df  (that stands for disk free)
I don't want to run out of space in Ubuntu, so I must judge what to download or not.
[12:10] <techie_> df
[12:10] <Lynoure> techie_: if you cannot from that tell which disk is which, put it in pastebin and I can try to help you with that.
[12:10] <LePoulpe303> anyone could help me for this : i must boot windows first in order to have 3D detected in ubuntu ....
[12:11] <VII> hello
[12:12] <VII> maybe someone can help me now, my graphics are really laggy when I move a window or scroll in FF. I have a nvidia geforce 6800 ultra. Envy didnt do the trick.
I believe this is windows or my hd1 right?: /dev/hda1             43886816  31808576  12078240  73% /mnt/windows
[12:13] <adonis827> install completer
[12:13] <techie_> Lynoure and this is ubuntu: /dev/hda2             13836040   3291464   9841736  26% /
[12:14] <techie_> lynoure: does that make sense?
[12:14] <adonis827> VII check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:14] <adonis827> does it use the right driver?
[12:14] <VII> adonis827: I know nothing about that
so about 12 g space in one and 13 in the other?
[12:15] <arn_> Why "sudo cd data" is not working? I get an error like "sudo:cd: command not found"
[12:15] <Lynoure> techie_: they wrapped weirdly, so it takes me a bit to read. pastebin would have made it easier
[12:15] <adonis827> ok VII but i hope you don't mind working on the command line
[12:15] <VII> adonis: I will try =)
[12:16] <dan1> arn_ you can just cd without sudo
[12:16] <adonis827> fire up a terminal then
[12:16] <adonis827> and run "less /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[12:16] <Lynoure> techie_: oh, if you add -h to that  (du -h) you get it in a more human readable form
[12:16] <Craeo> Greetings
[12:16] <adonis827> jowi still there?
[12:16] <arn_> dan1, "data" directory is restricted for the username i am using
[12:17] <techie_> !pastebin
[12:17] <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)
[12:17] <olrrai> hey, 994 users! :)
[12:17] <Lynoure> techie_: the windows one is 73% full and the ubuntu one 26% full. yes, about 12 and 9 G free
[12:17] <dan1> arn_, it should not stop you using cd, after you will need to use sudo to perform actions
[12:17] <adonis827> what's the package for sshd?
[12:18] <Lynoure> adonis827: openssh-server, I think.
[12:18] <arn_> dan1, jahid@jahid-desktop:/usr/local/pgsql$ cd data
[12:18] <arn_> bash: cd: data: Permission denied
[12:19] <VII> adonis ok, done
[12:19] <techie_> Lynoure: here is the paste....http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9211/
[12:19] <adonis827> why is ssh not installed in a server really bugs me
[12:19] <yomm> adonis : it's on the cd
help me interpret the results.
[12:20] <dan1> arn_, odd, i can cd anywhere as a user, what does "ls -l" tell you
[12:20] <techie_> although it seems I still have plenty of space
[12:20] <adonis827> VII check the line Section "Screen"
[12:20] <VII> adonis: yes
[12:20] <IkimashoZ> Hey, has anyone ever successfully solved the skype-scim conflict??
[12:20] <arn_> danl, also says permission denied
[12:20] <adonis827> sorry it's
[12:20] <adonis827> Section "Device"
[12:20] <adonis827> what is the driver used in there?
[12:21] <dan1> arn_, ok sudo ls -l
[12:21] <arn_> danl, it works
[12:21] <_james> how to automatically mount to windows drive on boot? help pls.
[12:21] <VII> adonis: 	Identifier	"Generic Video Card"
[12:21] <VII> 	Driver		"vesa"
[12:21] <VII> 	BusID		"PCI:1:0:0"
[12:21] <arn_> danl, even i can copy and remove things from that folder using "sudo", but not "cd"
[12:22] <mneptok> _james: that's completely documented on the wiki.
[12:22] <mneptok> _james: there's no reason to make someone type it again
[12:22] <dan1> arn_, it is odd that you cannot use cd, you could try dropping to root using "su" but pay attention to what you type
did you receive my pastebin!
[12:22] <adonis827> VII that's basically it i guess
[12:22] <adonis827> your video card was not detected
[12:22] <adonis827> hmm
[12:22] <_james> dude i can't find it right.. im just new on ubuntu :(
[12:23] <adonis827> is the nva driver compiled by default in ubuntu?
[12:23] <adonis827> i know it is in lts
[12:23] <mneptok> _james: http://wiki.ubuntu.com
[12:23] <mneptok> adonis827: "nv"
[12:23] <adonis827> hmm
[12:23] <samlo_> !java
[12:23] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[12:23] <adonis827> VII can you kindly change the Driver value to nv instead of vesa
[12:24] <VII> adonis ok
[12:24] <mneptok> samlo_: sudo aptitude install sun-java5-plugin
[12:24] <adonis827> then restart X by alt + ctrl + backspace
[12:24] <techie_> what the best way to learn publisher from office in Ubuntu. Is there documentation anyplace?
[12:24] <adonis827> hope it works hehe
[12:24] <VII> adonis, how do I do that?
[12:25] <techie_> Or whateve is equivalent to publisher from xp in Ubuntu?
[12:25] <VII> change that line I mean
[12:25] <adonis827> ah you are using less
[12:25] <adonis827> right now
[12:25] <adonis827> press esc
[12:25] <adonis827> sorry
[12:26] <adonis827> press q to exit
[12:26] <mneptok> techie_: what is it you want to actually do?
[12:26] <samlo_> !wow
[12:26] <ubotu> Information about games on Ubuntu can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php and ubuntugames.org
[12:26] <Lynoure> techie_: Linux is quite space efficient :) Out of those only hda1 and hda2 and data partitions you need to care about, the first number column is actual size, the next is the usage, and the third is what is left. and then the % for hom much is used
[12:26] <VII> adonis, I tried to change the file from the text editor, but it wouldnt alow me to save the changes

[12:26] <adonis827> then use an editor you are familiar with maybe nano
[12:26] <adonis827> sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.cong
[12:26] <adonis827> sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf that is
[12:27] <Lynoure> techie_: I'm not sure I know if Publisher by Microsoft is desktop publishing or web stuff.
[12:27] <mneptok> *Feisty
[12:27] <techie_> desktop publishing
[12:27] <adonis827> VII are you following?
[12:27] <techie_> varka thanks I will check that link.
[12:27] <VII> adonis, yes
[12:27] <VII> Ive typed that command now, and I see the file
[12:28] <adonis827> ok you may now edit the file
[12:28] <Lynoure> techie_: most people use  scribus  for that
[12:28] <mneptok> techie_: sudo aptitude install scribus
[12:28] <VII> adonis, Ive made the change, how do I save?
[12:28] <techie_> do we have learning tutorials like in office?
[12:28] <techie_> thanks mneptok
[12:29] <mneptok> ugh. i really want ne for *nix n00bs editing from the shell :(
[12:29] <adonis827> VII ctrl + x
[12:29] <VII> done
[12:29] <mneptok> techie_: http://www.scribus.net/
[12:29] <ycmarvin> hello..can ples someone help me. I need a file shredder program
[12:29] <adonis827> restart your X now
[12:30] <adonis827> logout in there
[12:30] <VII> ok, brb
[12:30] <threeseas> strange - ubuntu 6.10 install - hda1 fat32 for transfer between linux and window and storage - hda2 swap - hda3 system, had4 home - but what it did is put home on the smaller system partition put stuff I put in hda1 on hda4 but assumed the smaller partition size of hda1  --- results - no real access to the space of hda1 and greatly limiting the available space on hda4 (calling it hda1) --- seems to be some sort of install problem in 6.
[12:30] <ycmarvin> hello..can please someone help me. I need a file shredder program
[12:30] <mneptok> ycmarvin: please do not repeat
[12:31] <ycmarvin> oh sorry
[12:31] <mneptok> rm not doing it for you?
[12:31] <VII> adonis, I logged out and back in, still laggy
[12:31] <Tomcat_> ycmarvin: "wipe"
[12:32] <Lynoure> ycmarvin: sudo aptitude install wipe  if rm is not suitable for you
[12:32] <adonis827> what do you mean by laggy anyway?
[12:32] <adonis827> is the screen resolution right?
[12:32] <techie_> All the information you guys are providing me is terrific. I have to keep copying and pasting the info to my text editor (gedit) for reference later. Is there an easier way of doing this, I am using xchat 2.66
[12:32] <adonis827> or is it too low?
[12:32] <mneptok> techie_: enable logging
[12:32] <VII> adonis, its updates window movements and scrolling very slowly
[12:33] <VII> *it
[12:33] <techie_> how do i enable?
[12:33] <adonis827> hmm you need to change your monitor resolution too
[12:33] <ycmarvin> thanks lynore and tomcat
[12:33] <ailean> how do i ./ a file without navigating to that directory first?
[12:33] <VII> adonis: oh?
[12:34] <techie_> enable logging
[12:34] <techie_> I guess not here.... how do I enable logging in xchat?
[12:34] <mneptok> techie_: dunno. i don't use XChat
[12:34] <varka> ailean: you want to execute a file?
[12:34] <ailean> varka, yes, i want to put a shortcut in the menu for it
ok i will figure it out. let me see....
[12:35] <varka> ailean: just put in the whole path to it beginning with /
[12:35] <ailean> varka, but it's in /opt/foo/foo/file
[12:35] <ailean> oh right
[12:35] <adonis827> sorry i got dc
[12:35] <ailean> i don't need ./ then?
[12:35] <varka> ailean: no
[12:35] <adonis827> i need to leave after around 20 minutes but i need to setup ssh first on my server before i go
[12:35] <funpop> is there a sound-juicer alternative for ripping cd's in the repos ?
[12:35] <ailean> varka, now it's not showing up . . .
[12:36] <adonis827> VII go back to editing your xorg config file
[12:36] <adonis827> VII go back to editing your xorg config file
[12:36] <frying_fish> adonis827: set up in what manner?
[12:36] <varka> ailean: "." ist the directory you are right into, you just have to put "./" in front of an executable if you are in the same directory
also is there a way to search in the chat for what certain persons said etc.... or is enabling logging the only way.
[12:36] <adonis827> hi frying_fish
[12:36] <VII> ehmn
[12:36] <adonis827> i have just made a new lamp server install
[12:37] <adonis827> and there's no ssh service in there
[12:37] <ailean> varka, thanks varka
[12:37] <frying_fish> adonis827: ok, well sudo aptitude install ssh will get the openssh server
[12:37] <techie_> anyway, thanks to you all I must run
[12:37] <predaeus> techie_: hit CTRL-F
[12:37] <adonis827> makes sense frying_fish :)
[12:37] <frying_fish> and then you can edit the sshd config if you need to to change from default options.
[12:37] <VII> adonis, Im having some trouble here now, I changedd the resolution from the system-menu to 800-600, and now I can only see the top left corner of my screen. I cant see what Im writing. :D
[12:37] <adonis827> VII
[12:37] <adonis827> look in the section Monirot
[12:37] <adonis827> Monitor
i will try i.
[12:37] <adonis827> can you tell us what is in there?
[12:37] <predaeus> CTRL-F is searching in most apps and also works here
[12:38] <VII> adonis, I gotta find a way to see my whole screen first :D
[12:38] <predaeus> in XChat i mean, sry. *g*
[12:38] <adonis827> what's wrong VII?
[12:38] <frying_fish> adonis827: you need some unusual ssh options?
[12:39] <adonis827> not really it is installing now thanks!
[12:39] <frying_fish> adonis827: :) thats ok then, don't forget to use key logins to be a little more secure and such, and disable root login (if you enabled the root user on your ubuntu)
[12:40] <VII> woho!
[12:40] <spotted> !ati > spotted
[12:40] <adonis827> how was it VII? hand editting the config file is always the way to go :lol
[12:40] <VII> adonis, I changed to 800x600, and now its not laggy! but now I cant see my mouse pointer :|
[12:40] <adonis827> no mouse at all VII?
[12:40] <VII> no
[12:41] <VII> adonis, things gets highlighted when I move over them tho
[12:41] <adonis827> so there is mouse?
[12:41] <VII> yes
[12:41] <adonis827> anyway you need to edit your xorg configuration like before
[12:41] <VII> ok
[12:42] <adonis827> and perhaps change the value of your monitor refresh rate etc
[12:42] <VII> adonis, ok, I know nothing of that
[12:42] <adonis827> so tells us what is in the section monitor
[12:42] <VII> ok
[12:42] <ekimus> hmm what's the minimum ram for ubuntu, I wanna test a few amanda backups with some clients under xen. should 32mb be enough?
[12:42] <VII> what was that thing u typed again? sumo nano? :D
[12:43] <adonis827> better if you can paste your config file so we can all take a look
[12:43] <adonis827> it's sudo nano
[12:43] <VII> ah
[12:43] <adonis827> sudo to have admin permission on your command
[12:43] <adonis827> and nano is the editor
[12:43] <posingaspopular> ekimus: depends on which ubuntu
[12:43] <posingaspopular> xubuntu is light weight
[12:44] <posingaspopular> but i think even that is too heavy for 32
[12:45] <VII> adonis, whats the url to the pastebin?
[12:45] <adonis827> try .http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[12:45] <ekimus> posingaspopular: that's all the same, i don't have any x running so for me there's no difference in which flavor, and they're all virtualized
[12:46] <posingaspopular> hmm i duno how to answer than
[12:47] <Craeo> Quick questionn about a permanent install, I'm in the Windows environment, I have the Ubuntu 6.06 CD, but how do I perm. install the OS on my system using the CD, I see no link or icon to do so?
[12:47] <frying_fish> Craeo: you need to boot from the ubuntu cd
[12:47] <frying_fish> then it will give the options for installing
[12:47] <Craeo> Yes, ok
[12:47] <seravitae> hey um
[12:47] <Craeo> I tried that once before and the computer froze for some reason
[12:48] <seravitae> does anyone know how i might use my english keyboard + pc to write japanese in ubuntu
[12:48] <ekimus> Craeo: you need to reboot with the cd - that's not a programm that's another OS which will (if you tell it to do so) overvriwite your windows...
[12:48] <posingaspopular> Craeo: burn an iso of the ubuntu system
[12:48] <posingaspopular> !install
[12:48] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[12:48] <VII> adonis: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9216/
[12:48] <Jowi> ekimus, I think 64MB is the "recommended" minimum for the server install. don't know if it will actually install on less or not (I used minimum 128MB)
[12:49] <archangelpetro> can anyone recommend a package which will securely remove files from a computer/
[12:49] <archangelpetro> so they cannot be reconstructed
[12:50] <Jowi> ekimus, ah wait. found some numbers: http://ftp.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu/dists/warty/main/installer-i386/current/doc/manual/en/ch03s04.html
[12:50] <ekimus> archangelpetro: http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/utils/secure-delete
[12:51] <varka> archangelpetro: wipe
[12:51] <ekimus> cool, I'll go with 32MB then, guess for my usage that should be enough thanks Jowi
[12:52] <KenSentMe> Is there a linux ssh client like putty, but that saves passwords and integrates in Gnome?
[12:52] <adonis827> VII what is your monitor again?
[12:52] <jussi01> !putty
[12:52] <ubotu> SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[12:53] <dystopianray> is anyone able to tell me what handles the mute button on my laptop? It's muting the wrong channel
[12:53] <VII> adonis, Im not sure, I know what graphic car it is tho
[12:53] <VII> adonis, its a HP monitor tho
[12:53] <Jowi> KenSentMe, secpanel has got an ok interface
[12:53] <Jowi> !info secpanel
[12:53] <posingaspopular> VII: do a 'lspci'command

[12:53] <VII> ok
[12:53] <adonis827> hmm it is not an lcd screen right?
[12:54] <KenSentMe> Jowi: thanks
[12:54] <adonis827> VII you need to set the values of HorizSync and VertRefresh in the section monitor
[12:55] <adonis827> then later configure a subsection display under the section Screen
[12:55] <adonis827> look at my sample configuration in here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9218/
[12:55] <VII> adonis: lspci and xorg: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9219/
[12:55] <adonis827> what the values of HorizSync and VertRefresh are would depend on your monitor settings
[12:56] <kane77> hmm.. I have integrated graphic card.. If I bought second one (to agp) would it be possible to have dual screen?
[12:56] <maggot> Hello guys
[12:57] <adonis827> VII i am sorry i will be late for work already :(
[12:57] <maggot> kane77 : you can`t use bouth graphic cards. you must disable the onboard one inorder to use the agp
[12:57] <VII> adonis, as I start to understand more and more of this, I think I need to run 60hz, and I was running 75hz before. now Im running 800x600 @ 60hz, and that work.
[12:57] <VII> adonis, ok, thank you very much tho! <3
[12:57] <kane77> maggot, too bad :(
[12:57] <adonis827> i hope some other guys in here would be able to help you out
[12:58] <_eMaX_> hi
[12:58] <_eMaX_> ne! has problems w/ flash 9?
[12:58] <Ace2016> hi all
[12:58] <Ace2016> i need help with my router
[12:58] <maggot> kane77 : but most of the graphic card today have dual display.
[12:58] <Ace2016> it won't connect to any website apart fromg google
[12:59] <Ace2016> no other websites, not even my isp's website, only google
[12:59] <maggot> I know this question may sound dumb. But why my screen resolution is limited to 1024X768 ?
[12:59] <Ace2016> i can search for anything, view the cached text of it
[12:59] <Jowi> VII, just add -> Option "HWCursor" "off" to the Section Device. that should give you the mousepointer.
[12:59] <Ace2016> and i can get to froogle and stuff but no other site apart from google
[01:00] <Ace2016> i can only even get to irc in windows with a usb modem which does not work in linux
[01:00] <Ace2016> hello?
[01:01] <posingaspopular> Ace2016: yea

[01:01] <Jowi> Ace2016, if you're behind a router you might want to restart it
[01:01] <posingaspopular> try 'sudo pppoeconf'
[01:01] <posingaspopular> see what happens
[01:01] <Folkert> hello all, i have a little problem. Have ubunutu server installed and disabled root login. after that i can login trhough secure ftp but i cannot do anything with the files on the server. So i do need to add a user for ftp or what should i do ?
[01:01] <Ace2016> Jowi: i restarted it many times but still only google works
[01:01] <ikonia_> Folkert how did you disable the root login ? it should have never been enabled
[01:01] <Ace2016> Jowi: but with the sagem fast 800 i can get to any website
[01:02] <Folkert> for ssh
[01:02] <Folkert> i did
[01:02] <Jowi> Ace2016, so it is a hardware problem
[01:02] <Ace2016> However on a side note i can use bittorrent in linux perfectly even though i can only get to google, torrents are going very well
[01:02] <zzz_> Hi zzz! Are You there please?
[01:02] <Ace2016> i can only get to google in opera/firefox/konqueror but torrents work and download fine
[01:02] <Ace2016> its very confusing
[01:03] <yomm> !ati
[01:03] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:03] <Folkert> in ssh_config set the PermitRootLogin to no
[01:03] <Jowi> Ace2016, a faulty modem/router. replace it. use the sagem one if it works. Might be the MTU value as well. talk with your ISP.
[01:04] <Jowi> Ace2016, or the router manufacturer
[01:04] <Ace2016> can a router really break and only allow you to get to google?
[01:04] <Ace2016> apart from on torrents
[01:04] <posingaspopular> Ace2016: but if you talk to your ISP, spefically demand to speak to a linux expert
[01:04] <Jowi> Ace2016, yes
[01:05] <posingaspopular> Ace2016: what web browser are you using?
[01:05] <Jowi> Ace2016, sometimes my router hangs so http works but https does not.
[01:05] <Jowi> Ace2016, get it replaced.
[01:05] <Ace2016> posingaspopular: its the same in windows and linux in opera, konqueror and firefox
[01:05] <posingaspopular> can you get onto the net in windows?
[01:05] <kliklik> Ace2016, try traceroute google.com and other hosts that you have problems with. Make sure it's your router and not your ISP

[01:06] <_eMaX_> what is the difference between $@ and $*
[01:06] <Ace2016> Jowi: this is right after a restart, i've cleared the settings and checked the settings over and over again but still only google
[01:06] <maggot> I know this question may sound dumb. But why my screen resolution is limited to 1024X768 ? How can I add more options to it ?

[01:07] <Jowi> Ace2016, you say it is the same in all systems. you say that when you use the sagem 800 it works. you know where the problem is. call the manufacturer if it is under warranty or buy a new one.
[01:07] <maggot> Thanks :)
[01:07] <Ace2016> maggot: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg might help
[01:07] <posingaspopular> maggot: no questions are dumb here. spamming, bot abuse, language abuse are dumb. notquestions
[01:08] <Jowi> Ace2016, but before you do, check if the MTU value should be something else than the default 1500. and see if there are any firmware upgrades available.
[01:08] <maggot> Ace2016 : yeah, i`ve thought of that. But I have installed compiz. Won`t that ruin my xserver configuration ?
[01:09] <samlo> !cdemu
[01:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cdemu - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:10] <Ace2016> maggot: you could make a backup of /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and then use the command to modify it and then make changed the the new config it generates
[01:10] <tarelerulz> This is weird ,but I remember getting mplayer for ubuntu from it repostitory
[01:10] <Ace2016> Jowi: ok thanks
[01:11] <jussi01> tarelerulz, mplayer is in the repos
[01:12] <Ace2016> Jowi: how do i get traceroute, since linux hasn't got access to the repos now? i only have traceroute6 which i think is for ipv6 right?
[01:13] <Jowi> Ace2016, tracepath
[01:13] <Ace2016> does windows have traceroute?
[01:13] <zzz_> !ntfs > zzz_
[01:13] <Folkert> nobody on the ftp secure users ?
[01:14] <zzz_> Ace2016: Try tracert.

[01:25] <amca> Hello. I am interested in installing Ubuntu. I am wondering if the Ubuntu Server install has programs that the Desktop install doesn't?
[01:25] <tarelerulz> Why can't you just click on the file and steam it to you. I know totem does that ,but it dose not have avi and so
[01:25] <Slart> garuhhh: you can do it using iptables and masquerading

[01:26] <Ace2016> tarelerulz you could use ICS using firestarter
[01:27] <Slart> garuhhh: better to do it here.. so people can stop me if I say something stupid =)
[01:27] <garuhhh> i can't seem to follow well the instructions given for iptables and masquerading...
[01:27] <garuhhh> last thing i used was firestarter..
[01:27] <Ace2016> all the traceroutes ping timed out
[01:27] <Slart> garuhhh: ah.. you're using a special distro
[01:27] <Ace2016> in windows with a working connection to the net
[01:27] <garuhhh> am using ubuntu 6.06...
[01:27] <Slart> garuhhh: I haven't tried firestarter myself.. used IpCop when I last did it

[01:28] <VII> I cant get into ubuntu. I get a black screen saying "Out of range, set monitor to 1280 x 1024 @ 60Hz" WHat should I do?
[01:28] <garuhhh> ow? IPCop? can it share internet to windows?
[01:28] <Slart> garuhhh: so... you're trying to do it using iptables and masquerading?
[01:28] <samlo> !./
[01:28] <Sp4rKy> does anyone already use tinyerp ?
[01:28] <kubunturf> hi
[01:28] <garuhhh> i guess i typed something like iptables but got stucked with the "echo" lines... errhh forgot bout them...
[01:29] <garuhhh> am sorry, i'm really new at linux.
[01:29] <Slart> garuhhh: it's a special distro for gateways.. it's pretty good.. we used it at the school where I worked before.. server 100 windows pc's with internet connection
[01:29] <funpop> where should i go for problems with google-earth ?
[01:29] <raw-bin> Greets. Dapper seems to symlink /bin/sh to /bin/dash. I have some perl scripts that use the 'system' perl command that seem to need bash. I'm not clear about this as yet but was wondering if making /bin/sh point to /bin/bash would break anything ?
[01:29] <samlo> Im trying to install an sh file.. And it gives me this: ./install.sh: 146: function: not found.. How can i fix this
[01:29] <Jowi> VII, it means your monitor does not support the resolution the way you have set it up.
[01:29] <garuhhh> ok.. can i use apt-get to install it? ipcop?
[01:29] <Slart> garuhhh: are you going to use the computer for anything else than sharing the network?
[01:29] <garuhhh> actually sharing the internet
[01:30] <Slart> garuhhh: ah.. no.. it's a whole operating system.. a very small one but still
[01:30] <VII> Jowi, yes. Ive tried to change it through "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg", but it wont work.
[01:30] <garuhhh> right now, file sharing and printer sharing is good.
[01:30] <erstazi> hello
[01:30] <Slart> garuhhh: ok.. but you don't use it as your desktop?.. so it's just a server?
[01:30] <garuhhh> ah... so ipcop is not really part of ubuntu?
[01:30] <garuhhh> yeah... i use it also as a desktop
[01:31] <Jowi> VII, first of all check the specs of your monitor on the manufacturer home page to see which resolutions and rates it support.
[01:31] <Slart> garuhhh: nope.. it's a stand alone system
[01:31] <VII> Jowi, will do right away
[01:31] <garuhhh> ok... too bad.. am already using ubuntu..
[01:31] <Slart> garuhhh: ok.. then you probably want to do it "the hard way" =)
[01:31] <tarelerulz> I play movie with it
[01:31] <garuhhh> ooowwww...
[01:31] <tarelerulz> the sound is all messed up
[01:31] <garuhhh> by the way,, your replies have my name "garuhhh" at the start... how can i do that?
[01:31] <Slart> garuhhh: how many computers will you be connecting?
[01:31] <garuhhh> do you just type my name?
[01:32] <garuhhh> i'll just be connecting 1.
[01:32] <Nalleman> how do I do to mount my memorycard? If i start Ubuntu with card in the slot its ok but if I unmount it Im not able to return it. help plz
[01:32] <garuhhh> its WinXP
[01:32] <Slart> garuhhh: you type S, L, A, R, T, : before you type the rest of the message.. very low tech =)
[01:32] <garuhhh> slart: ok... i get it. i thought there a speciall button to do that! :D
[01:32] <erstazi> hmmm
[01:33] <Slart> garuhhh: ok.. you use a fixed ip-address for the windows machine?
[01:33] <garuhhh> slart: can i describe my current setup now to see if i'm doin it right?
[01:33] <Slart> garuhhh: sure.. go ahead
[01:33] <garuhhh> slart: yep i used static address

[01:33] <garuhhh> slart: on my windows machine it has ip 192.168.0.2
[01:33] <VII> Jowi, I didnt find much, but I found this: Up to: 1280x1024 / 75Hz, Recommended: 1280x1024 / 60Hz
[01:34] <garuhhh> slart: my 2nd LAN card on ubuntu is 192.168.0.1
[01:34] <Slart> garuhhh: sounds good so far
[01:35] <Jowi> VII, very good.
[01:35] <garuhhh> slart: on my windows, the gateway i used is 192.168.0.1, is that right?

[01:35] <Jowi> VII, see the last link
[01:35] <Slart> garuhhh: yes.. it uses the linux machine to access internet so the linux machine is its gateway.. correct
[01:35] <VII> jowi, yes
[01:35] <kliklik> Does anyone remembers "FIle Menu" applet for gnome? Where did it go? Is there a modern replacement?
[01:36] <garuhhh> slart, good so far... now, my 192.168.0.1 card has a blank entry for the gateway, is that ok?
[01:36] <Slart> garuhhh: yes
[01:36] <Slart> garuhhh: it's connected directly to the internet so it doesn't need a gateway
[01:36] <pebblestone> Hi, I accidently reinstalled windows xp, which rewrote my boot loader. But the linux partition is still there, can I restore the boot loader?
[01:36] <garuhhh> slart, my eth0, which my computer uses to connect to the internet uses  DHCP
[01:37] <pebblestone> Or do I have to reinstall ubuntu?

[01:39] <ikonia_> how strange to package yum for ubuntu

[01:43] <Frost^-> Hello. I've installed eclipse a long time ago. I now ran out of space, so I want to remove eclipse and all the things it installed. Can anyone tell me how to do so?
[01:43] <Slart> VII: probably somethings not setup correctly in your X server settings
[01:43] <Vaalth> hey, im having trouble burning the latest ubuntu iso to a cd with cdrecord
[01:44] <weatherman> hi, in order to use nfs, how do I assign an IP adress to the server?
[01:44] <sigvard> VII> dude? have you been changeing video drivers? Sounds like it. Try and boot in to CLI / safemode and redo changes
[01:44] <Vaalth> whenever i boot from it, it hangs at the ubuntu screen with the progress bar and gives Buffer I/O errors
[01:44] <VII> sigvard, Ive tried that. =\
[01:44] <Steve_J> Hi, I am trying to recover my username and password, can anyone help me, I have found a solution online but I don't understand all the commands
[01:45] <sigvard> And?
[01:45] <Vaalth> the command im using is "cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc speed=4 isoimage.iso"
[01:45] <VII> sigvard: I ran the reconfigure thuingy a couple of times, tried different things, but I still get the same error
[01:46] <VII> also, the reconfigure program looks kind of weird. Its not displayed properly, but good enough to use.
[01:46] <Robinsjostrom> do you people recommend banshee or amarok=
[01:46] <sigvard> Try and do a reinstall from repo's of all the different X stuff too..
[01:46] <Vaalth> anyone know what im doing wrong?
[01:46] <Steve_J> Hi, I am trying to recover my username and password, can anyone help me, I have found a solution online but I don't understand all the command
[01:46] <Slart> Robinsjostrom: I hate amarok a little less then banshee =)
[01:46] <Robinsjostrom> Slart: so no one of them is good?
[01:47] <sigvard> VII > have you tried that?

[01:47] <VII> sigvard, tried "dkpg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" you mean? yes, a couple of times
[01:47] <Slart> Robinsjostrom: I tried banshee.. but I didn't like it.. can't really remember why..

[01:49] <Robinsjostrom> Slart: I use itunes on win right now but gonna switch to ubuntu. so is it better or worse than itunes?
[01:49] <bimberi> Steve_J: boot into recovery mode, get the username from /etc/passwd and set a new password with 'passwd <username>'
[01:49] <garuhhh> slart, thanks for the help! i really apreciate it :D
[01:49] <Frost^-> Hello. I've installed eclipse a long time ago. I now ran out of space, so I want to remove eclipse and all the things it installed. Can anyone tell me how to do so?
[01:49] <Slart> Robinsjostrom: there's no support for buying music in amarok.. and I don't have an ipod. but it claims to be able to connect to one
[01:49] <intelikey> i just found a bug in the dapper update of udev  it depends on kernel 2.6.15-27 being installed but the update from the repos is 2.6.15-28  so installing the updates fail with /lib/modules/2.6.15-27 not found
[01:49] <posingaspopular> Frost^-: sudo apt-get remove eclipse
[01:50] <Slart> garuhhh: eh.. you're welcome.. what did I do?
[01:50] <Steve_J> Hi, I am trying to recover my username and password, can anyone help me, I have found a solution online but I don't understand all the command
[01:50] <Frost^-> posingaspopular: thanks.
[01:50] <intelikey> do i have to have  "hald"  for gnome to run ?
[01:51] <garuhhh> slart, i confirmed if what i did with my ips is right :)
[01:51] <bimberi> Steve_J: I answered you
[01:51] <Slart> Robinsjostrom: you can just install them both and try until you find you're happy with one... it's probably easier than trying to decide before you see them
[01:51] <sigvard> VII Sorry then... Don't know if can help you..
[01:51] <abunasser> hi i am finally got ubuntu installed :)
[01:51] <Steve_J> bimberi: sorry, I didn't spot your reply
[01:51] <intelikey> ?
[01:51] <posingaspopular> abunasser: welcome
[01:51] <Slart> garuhhh: ah.. so that was the problem.. I thought you were just preparing a really long horrible question about iptables =)
[01:51] <roland__> when will ubuntu 7 be released?
[01:51] <Steve_J> can you help me
[01:52] <abunasser> nice OS but it seems like win 98 :)
[01:52] <Slart> abunasser: eh.. was a lone time since I used win 98.. but I'm pretty sure ubuntu is a a bit more advanced =)
[01:53] <bimberi> Steve_J: I have. But if there's any part that you don't understand then ask about it specifically.
[01:53] <abunasser> too much advanced yes
[01:53] <abunasser> i meant the interface
[01:53] <Steve_J> Ok I will post the help page I am trying to understan in the PasteBox
[01:53] <garuhhh> slart, naaah.. i left the iptables thing... might find time to read them later on..
[01:53] <ikonia_> abunasser whats the problem with the pastebin
[01:53] <roland__> when will ubuntu 7 be released?
[01:53] <Slart> abunasser: hehe.. you think Gnome is to advanced? or is it just an unfamiliar system?
[01:54] <posingaspopular> abunasser: gui? that can be changed.
[01:54] <posingaspopular> roland__: april

[01:54] <fnf> I never use GDM, but just noticed it does not respect the ".bashrc" file. E.g: Some environment variables I've exported in .bashrc doesn't seem to have any effect, one of them is GTK_IM_MODULE for scim. Can anyone confirm this ?
[01:54] <ikonia_> fnf thats for shell invokation
[01:54] <Slart> garuhhh: oh.. ok. Well.. Ip tables can be kind of nasty until you get the hang of it
[01:54] <garuhhh> slart: one more thing, what should be tHe DNS that should be found on my Windows machine?
[01:55] <abunasser> i got ati driver installed and 3d acceleration enabled but could not use beryl yet
[01:55] <Steve_J> I have posted the help file I am reading in the PasteBox, can you read it
[01:55] <fnf> ikonia_: just about to ask it, I guess so. What is the standard way to set some env. variables in GDM ?
[01:55] <ikonia_> fnf check the gdm.conf file
[01:55] <yrtw6er> abunasser: did you install XGL
[01:56] <abunasser> yes by backage manager
[01:56] <Slart> garuhhh: you can use the same dns as the linux machine gets from your ISP... or you can setup your own dns server on the linux machine.. I have setup bind on my router/gateway/server
[01:56] <roland__> whats the difference between beryl and compiz?
[01:56] <fnf> ikonia_: thanks for the hint =)
[01:56] <abunasser> i got these error :::  beryl: No composite extension
[01:56] <Slart> garuhhh: there are other dns servers.. look for a dns server in synaptic.. and find one that looks easy
[01:56] <Frogzoo> roland__: beryl has more features
[01:56] <ikonia_> fnf no problem- think of bash_profile being run when you login to a shell, not when you open a shell
[01:56] <Slart> !dns server
[01:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dns server - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[01:57] <Steve_J> bimberi I have pasted the help file I am working from in the PasteBox

[01:57] <Steve_J> oh,
[01:57] <Steve_J> Its http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9227/
[01:57] <yrtw6er> abunasser: ok, well I don't think you are actually running XGL... you have to make a special entry in GDM in order to use that instead of just X11
[01:57] <Slart> abunasser: ATI and Beryl are... well.. let's say they don't send each other christmas cards any more =).. it's fixable but it takes some work
[01:57] <fnf> ikonia_: bash_profile by default runs .bashrc.
[01:58] <ikonia_> fnf yup
[01:58] <ikonia_> fnf and /etc/profile
[01:58] <yrtw6er> Slart... working fine here.... but..yeah...did take some work
[01:58] <ikonia_> (although thats unwritten)
[01:58] <abunasser> how to make xgl start with gnome instead of aiglx ?????
[01:58] <ikonia_> abunasser what ?
[01:58] <ikonia_> abunasser gnome is a desktop
[01:58] <Slart> abunasser: I'm sure there are people here that have ATI cards running beryl.. myself I have a nvidia so I wouldn't know where to start
[01:58] <Steve_J> bimberi?
[01:58] <Steve_J> The help file is it http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9227/
[01:58] <roland__> i ran beryl fine on my ati radeon 9550 in kubuntu
[01:59] <abunasser> Detected xserver                                : AIGLX
[01:59] <abunasser>    >>>>>>>  how to make it glx ???
[01:59] <Slart> yrtw6er: might as well update myself on this.. does the the tutorials that ubotu has work for ati and beryl?
[01:59] <garuhhh> slart: ok i might find a dns server...
[01:59] <garuhhh> slart: thanks again.. i 'll try that.
[01:59] <ikonia_> abunasser join #ubuntu-effects
[01:59] <Slart> garuhhh: you're welcome
[02:00] <Steve_J>  Hi, I am trying to recover my username and password, can anyone help me, I have founda solution online but I don't understand all the command
[02:00] <abunasser> thanks :)
[02:00] <ikonia_> Steve_J re-install or reset the password file from the livecd
[02:00] <Vaalth> are ubuntu install cds on sale at any stores? like best buy
[02:00] <fnf> Steve_J: the username does not need recovering, the password should just be reset
[02:00] <Slart> Steve_J: do you have the url to the online solution?
[02:00] <yrtw6er> abunasser: i'll try to find you a tutorial...
[02:00] <Pici> Vaalth: No... But you can download it for free or get a version shipped to you (for free)
[02:00] <Steve_J> Its here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9227/
[02:01] <Vaalth> i need to get it working today and i keep getting buffer i/o errors from cds i burn
[02:01] <Steve_J> I don't understand the Run the "tail /etc/passwd" command bit
[02:01] <roland__> shipping ubuntu cd around the world is free ?
[02:01] <ikonia_> Steve_J re-install
[02:01] <fnf> Steve_J: can't you invoke passwd as root to reset yours ?
[02:01] <Slart> Vaalth: why not try some other burning software.. brasseros or gnomebaker?
[02:01] <Pici> Steve_J: Thats only if you forget what your username is
[02:01] <zero-9376> can someone reccommend an easy to learn programming language to make a nice looking gui that will simply change a config file and a maybe a channel that i can join for more info on programming under linux?
[02:02] <Vaalth> Slart : I'll give it a try. thanks :)
[02:02] <Pici> Vaalth: Have you checked the md5 of the downloaded file?
[02:02] <Vaalth> no
[02:02] <bimberi> Steve_J: I have told you a solution.  If you are trying to crack through a password protected grub as well I am becoming skeptical and reluctant to help.
[02:02] <ikonia_> Steve_J either re-install or reset the password file from the livecd
[02:02] <Vaalth> how would i go about doing that?
[02:02] <Pici> !md5 > Vaalth
[02:02] <Vaalth> thank you
[02:02] <Pici> Vaalth: Sure
[02:02] <yrtw6er> zero: Python...
[02:02] <Slart> zero-9376: python perhaps.. there are probably others
[02:02] <yrtw6er> there are defniately others...:-P
[02:02] <Slart> =)
[02:03] <Slart> any nice easy ones?
[02:03] <marsan> hello. i got a printer problem, after i innstalled Ubuntu 6.10 again i cant seem to get my printer to work (Epson stylus c66). I can see my printer in lsusb but the gnome-cups program cant find its location.
[02:03] <Steve_J> I am not trying to do anything dodgy, I have just installed Ubuntu for the first time, but it is not loading with the usersname and pass I thought I chose
[02:03] <zero-9376> i just read in linux format about mono? easy enough?
[02:03] <yrtw6er> nah....I use Python
[02:03] <ikonia_> Steve_J re-install or reset the password file by booting from the livecd
[02:03] <Steve_J> I don't want to re-install cause it is hard to fix GRUB the
[02:03] <Steve_J> how do I reset the password from the live CD
[02:03] <ikonia_> zero-9376 I'm finding it goo, but slow to learn and I normally do c/c++
[02:03] <ikonia_> Steve_J I've given you your two options
[02:04] <bimberi> Steve_J: OK.  Then the solution I posted is less complicated and should be all you need
[02:04] <bimberi> Steve_J: boot into recovery mode, get the username from /etc/passwd and set a new password with 'passwd <username>'
[02:04] <ikonia_> Steve_J you bootfrom the cdrom mount the harddisk file system and remove the password from the /etc/shadow file on the mounted file system

[02:04] <Steve_J> ye thats where I am stuck
[02:04] <zero-9376> thanks ill look into python
[02:04] <fnf> MrEgg964: a VM.
[02:04] <Pici> Steve_J: What confuses you?
[02:04] <Steve_J> how do I use the /etc/passwd command
[02:04] <kontingenz> how to create a DVD image? I got File "size limit exceeded" with mkisofs -o /home/data/burn/bilder.iso -r -l -J -V Bilder-Backup-03.2007 /media/usbdisk/bilder/
[02:04] <ikonia_> bimberi that won't work as passwd will update the password on the livecdo - not hte mounted file system
[02:05] <ikonia_> Steve_J its a file
[02:05] <ikonia_> Steve_Jnot a command
[02:05] <Steve_J> I need a bit of a step by step
[02:05] <zero-9376> is pythin crossplatform
[02:05] <Pici> Steve_J: /etc/passwd isnt a command, its a file, you need to look at it using something like cat, tail, nano, something
[02:05] <ikonia_> Steve_J you'd be easier installing
[02:05] <yrtw6er> zero: yes
[02:05] <Slike> hello, how do i get the output of a machine on another desktop (with Xclient): "export DISPLAY=192.168.2.35:0.0" didn't do very much
[02:05] <Slart> zero-9376: python is available for windows and linux.. at least
[02:05] <bimberi> ikonia_: what livecd?  I'm suggesting recovery mode - from the HDD
[02:05] <ikonia_> bimberi ahh right
[02:05] <ikonia_> bimberi sorry thought you where taggin on to my comment
[02:05] <Steve_J> bimberi I am with you
[02:06] <yrtw6er> SLike: what exactly are you trying to do?
[02:06] <bimberi> ikonia_: kk :)  this has been going on for a while
[02:06] <Steve_J> how can I recover from HDD using the /etc/passwd file
[02:06] <bimberi> Steve_J: 'tail /etc/passwd' <-- should show you what the username is
[02:06] <ikonia_> Steve_J forget the /etc/password file - follow what bimberi said boot in recovery mode and just use passwd $username
[02:06] <Slike> yrtw6er: there's a windows box here, it has some xclient program installed on it. we want the output of a remote server on that screen
[02:06] <Steve_J> yes where do I type 'tail /etc/passwd
[02:07] <Steve_J> I did 'e'
[02:07] <yrtw6er> ahh... sorry can't really help you w/ that
[02:07] <ikonia_> Steve_J you're at too much of a basic level - re-isntall
[02:07] <ikonia_> install
[02:07] <Don_Juan> how can I get the gigabit working on a thinkpad x60?
[02:07] <Steve_J> then "init=/bin/basj
[02:07] <Steve_J> then what
[02:07] <TheLighty> hello all
[02:07] <ikonia_> Steve_J re-install
[02:07] <Pici> Steve_J: You want to boot now
[02:07] <kontingenz> how to create a DVD image? I got File "size limit exceeded" with mkisofs -o /home/data/burn/bilder.iso -r -l -J -V Bilder-Backup-03.2007 /media/usbdisk/bilder/
[02:07] <Steve_J> I want to leard please
[02:08] <Steve_J> learn I mean
[02:08] <bimberi> Steve_J: you don't need to do that.  Hit escape when Grub gives you the option and select recovery mode from the menu
[02:08] <omeil> has anyone set up cdemu properly with the scripts? mine aren't workin
[02:08] <TheLighty> how can I add addition IP's to the Ubuntu 6.10 server
[02:08] <ikonia_> Steve_J you've been given the exit commands, boot in recovery mode and do password $your_user_name then it will reset your password
[02:08] <Steve_J> ok bimbari
[02:08] <Steve_J> so I hit recovery then what
[02:08] <Pici> Steve_J: Just do a hard reboot to get out of there, it wont change the settings
[02:08] <ikonia_> Steve_J your not listening
[02:09] <Pici> ikonia_: He wants to learn, let him try
[02:09] <ikonia_> Pici but he's not listening
[02:09] <Steve_J> I am listening but this is all VERY VERY new to me
[02:09] <Pici> ikonia_: Since he doesnt have anything installed, it wont hurt to mess it up
[02:09] <ikonia_> Pici oooh agree with that
[02:09] <Steve_J> I am trying to follow you all
[02:09] <Don_Juan> I just got a x60 with ubuntu pre-installed but the gigabit connection seems to fail. Any hints?
[02:09] <bimberi> Steve_J: if should boot to a command line with a # prompt
[02:10] <ikonia_> Steve_J boot the box - on the grub menu select Recovery mode - then when you get a console prompt to "passwd $your_username" and it will reset the password to what you type
[02:10] <ikonia_> bimberi excellent call on recovery mode
[02:10] <Steve_J> ok, I think I understand I will try that now
[02:10] <yrtw6er> Don jaun, what exactly is your hardware
[02:11] <ailean> how do i install a true type font?
[02:11] <Vaalth> Pici : how do i install those cd burning apps? i tried apt-get install but it couldnt find them
[02:11] <Don_Juan> yrtw6er: can I type any commands to list it?
[02:11] <TheLighty> how can I add addition IP's to the Ubuntu 6.10 server
[02:12] <Pici> Vaalth: Which apps?
[02:12] <yrtw6er> yes, try "lspci"
[02:12] <ailean> !fonts
[02:12] <Slart> ailean: isn't there something in the menues about fonts?
[02:12] <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
[02:12] <ailean> Slart, yeah, but it lets you select them, not install them
[02:12] <Vaalth> brasseros and gnomebaker
[02:12] <ailean> Slart, i think i just have to shove it in a folder somewhere
[02:13] <Vaalth> Pici : sorry, just noticed that was someone else that suggested it :P
[02:13] <Vaalth> Slart : you know how i can install them?
[02:13] <Pici> Vaalth: You'll need to enable the universe repositories, /msg ubotu universe for information how
[02:13] <Don_Juan> yrtw6er: it says: Intel Corporation 82573L Gigabit Ethernet Controller
[02:13] <bimberi> ikonia_: I should know it.  It was a recipe that I got into the Ubuntu Book! ;)
[02:14] <Slart> ailean: there is a folder.. try typing fonts:/// in nautilus
[02:14] <Slart> Vaalth: hmm.. hold on.. I'll check
[02:14] <ikonia_> bimberi I would have gone the old root mouonting the file systems and editing the shadow file etc etc
[02:14] <ikonia_> bimberi hence why I thought you made an excellent call
[02:14] <eilker> suddenly i have no sound in pc....any help ?
[02:14] <yrtw6er> ok...I'm sorry don't have any experience with anything Intel..
[02:14] <vitorneves> hi there, Can someone help me with installing ubuntu on a sata 2 hard drive. The installation cannot recognize the hard drive
[02:14] <ailean> Slart, thanks
[02:15] <ikonia_> vitorneves its more likley it can't recognise the chipset the drive hangs off
[02:15] <Slart> Vaalth: gnome baker is in the "Add/Remove Applications" thingy in the applications menu
[02:15] <vitorneves> it's a new acerpower f6
[02:15] <Slart> Vaalth: in accessories
[02:15] <vitorneves> mandriva recognizes it
[02:15] <omeil> vitorneves:have you tried changing the RAID setting to IDE in your BIOS if u have one that is
[02:16] <vitorneves> but mandriva sucks
[02:16] <ailean> Slart, got it - it's in through /usr/share/fonts
[02:16] <ikonia_> vitorneves that doesn't mean ubuntu will but I take your point
[02:16] <Slart> ailean: ah.. and you can just put your tff-files there?
[02:16] <_james> hello i need help. .i just installed the crossover 6 final and i don't know hot to use it. what is the run command?
[02:16] <TheLighty> how can I add addition IP's to the Ubuntu 6.10 server
[02:16] <ikonia_> !crossover >_james
[02:16] <Slart> _james: I think there is a crossover channel
[02:16] <ailean> Slart, yep] 
[02:16] <Slart> ailean: nice
[02:17] <vitorneves> yes I've tried to change the bios but IDE option is not available (I think)
[02:17] <ailean> Slart, there are different folders for different file types, so obviously just select the correct one - ttf in this case
[02:17] <TheLighty> can anyone help, how do I add addition IP's to the Ubuntu 6.10 server
[02:17] <eshaase> what gstreamer plugin is recommended to install for mp3 playback?
[02:17] <Slart> ailean: ah.. I see it now.. yes
[02:17] <omeil> vitorneves: better check. because if u can set the RAID to IDE it is supposed to work
[02:17] <eshaase> seems like there are quite a few of them
[02:17] <ikonia_> TheLighty add them in the gui or in the /etc/interfaces file
[02:17] <omeil> because it will think its just a standard drive
[02:17] <Vaalth> Slart : i dont see it in there
[02:17] <Steve_J> Nearly have this sorted I think, does a password have to be a minimum length
[02:17] <vitorneves> ok, thanks I will double check it
[02:18] <Slart> Vaalth: hmm.. were you on 6.06? or 6.10?
[02:18] <ikonia_> Steve_J type what you want, it will tell you if its unusable
[02:18] <TheLighty> omeil I looked in there but not sure how to add
[02:18] <Vaalth> im on 5.04 :/
[02:18] <Vaalth> trying to burn 6.10 to a cd and install it
[02:18] <eki1> nothing like thegood old days..;)
[02:18] <Slart> Vaalth: ouch.. 5.04.. I wasn't even using linux back then.. =/..
[02:18] <omeil> TheLighty: looked in where? the scripts? i got the script to show mount and unmount in my right click but they won't do anything :D
[02:19] <quiet> Ubuntu has a nice big article in my newest Eweek. :)
[02:19] <_james> Slart:  what is a crossover channel?
[02:19] <TheLighty> sorry not you
[02:19] <TheLighty> [ikonia_] 
[02:19] <Slart> Vaalth: try "sudo apt-get install gnomebaker"
[02:19] <Slart> _james: a irc-channel for crossover users.. like this is a channel for ubuntu users
[02:19] <TheLighty> ikonia_ I have looked in there and not sure how to add the IP's
[02:19] <Vaalth> i tried that :(
[02:19] <quiet> i remember 5.04...
[02:19] <ikonia_> TheLighty use the gui
[02:19] <quiet> good times.
[02:20] <TheLighty> I tried and could not access it by remote
[02:20] <ikonia_> TheLighty use the /etc/interfaces file as a template and add new ip's
[02:20] <Slart> Vaalth: now I'm beginning to understand why you were using cdrecord =)
[02:20] <TheLighty> I only have remote access to it
[02:20] <ikonia_> ok - so the /etc/interfaces file is what you need
[02:20] <TheLighty> you have a link that shows examples
[02:20] <quiet> oh... here's the web-based version of the article I was referring to. -  http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2098141,00.asp
[02:21] <VII> Hiya
[02:21] <Vaalth> at first i couldnt even get into x lol
[02:21] <Slart> Vaalth: what is that version called? warty?
[02:21] <VII> After Ive typed in my password on the login-screen, it gets black for a second, and then Im back at the login screen!
[02:21] <Vaalth> hoary
[02:21] <TheLighty> ikonia_ you have a link that would show examples of additional IP's
[02:22] <ikonia_> TheLighty use the file as a template
[02:22] <Vaalth> hm... someone said something about doing a console-based install
[02:22] <Vaalth> is that the same as a regular install except without the gui?
[02:22] <eki1> yes
[02:22] <erUSUL> !alternate > Vaalth
[02:22] <ikonia_> how strange I don't have an interfaces file on my laptop
[02:23] <Slart> Vaalth: there's some alternatives.. cdrtoaster is one
[02:23] <TheLighty> hmm
[02:23] <Vaalth> ty :)
[02:23] <ikonia_> TheLighty sorry it /etc/network/interfaces
[02:24] <Slart> Vaalth: I looked here http://packages.ubuntu.com/hoary/allpackages and searched for burn.. there are lots of cd burning packages.. there's bound to be one that works
[02:24] <VII> After Ive typed in my password on the login-screen, it gets black for a second, and then Im back at the login screen! I might add: I dont get an eroor message like when I enter the wrong info.
[02:24] <eki1> VII:look at your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file
[02:25] <ComputerHermit> !bastille

[02:27] <finalbeta> You are sure your keyboard in in the same layout when you set up the password and when you are asked for it?
[02:27] <Vaalth> hmm
[02:27] <VII> ekil: ok
[02:28] <Vaalth> i have an amd athlon 64
[02:28] <ComputerHermit> sudo passwd root
[02:28] <TheLighty> ikonia_ I have the first IP in there, but how do I add more IP's
[02:28] <Vaalth> can i run the x86 version?
[02:28] <calraith> What's the name of the executable used to launch the VNC / RDP client for remote desktop?
[02:28] <VII> ekil: how do I do that from the logn screen?
[02:28] <Slart> Vaalth: if it doesn't need any fancy libraries you usually can
[02:28] <erstazi> if you are using letters and numbers (hopefully you are), make sure your num lock is on
[02:28] <eki1> you can't....
[02:28] <Steve_J> My keyboard setup should be the same I have not been able to login since install to change it
[02:29] <eki1> go " ctrl+alt+f2"and log in from there
[02:29] <Steve_J> and my chosen user name and pass are two simple words
[02:29] <erstazi> character set?
[02:29] <erstazi> what character set did you choose?
[02:29] <Steve_J> unicode?
[02:29] <eki1> V11 then look through that log for the problem
[02:30] <varka> calraith: vncviewer <host>
[02:30] <varka> calraith: vncviewer <host>:<display#>
[02:31] <calraith> varka: that's not quite what I'm looking for.  The default install of Ubuntu / Gnome has a GUI for rdesktop and vnc combined into one app
[02:31] <jaycie-away> can someone tell me what wireless card i can buy to use with edubuntu or ubuntu?
[02:31] <calraith> just trying to figure out what to apt-get install on my ubuntu server to get that same app
[02:31] <jaycie-away> i can't get usb wireless to work
[02:31] <erstazi> did you try logging with root?
[02:32] <Frost^-> Is there a utility for viewing applications I/O usage (like top but for I/O)?
[02:32] <gordonjcp> jaycie-away: surprisingly enough, pretty much the cheapest card you can find...
[02:32] <ikonia_> jaycie-away a supported one, check the hardware compatability lists and google
[02:32] <eki1> jaycie: have you tryed ndiswrapper?
[02:32] <jaycie-away> ikonia what do u mean.. list off the card itself?
[02:32] <Steve_J> Okay I give up, I'm going to re-instal, thanks for all your help, at least I learned something new about Ubuntu
[02:33] <erstazi> Steve_J
[02:33] <eki1> sorry we couldn't help more
[02:33] <gordonjcp> jaycie-away: cards based on the Ralink chipset *always* work
[02:33] <erstazi> Steve_J: did you try logging with root?
[02:33] <jaycie-away> eki1 o i have not.. i just use the usb adapter and so far didn't work
[02:33] <ikonia_> jaycie-away there are hardware compatability lists for supported chipsets - buy a card with a supported chipset
[02:33] <TheLighty> can someone help me with adding IP's to Unbuntu 6.10 server
[02:33] <Steve_J> I tried the word "root" as the username but it would not allow me to use it
[02:33] <gordonjcp> jaycie-away: atheros seems good too
[02:33] <ikonia_> TheLighty I've told you what to do
[02:33] <eki1> jaycie: if you are using x86 version of Ubuntu,Ndiswrapper is almostgarunteed to work..
[02:33] <Frogzoo> TheLighty: virtual IPs or real interfaces?
[02:33] <TheLighty> no you did not
[02:34] <VII> eki1: what was the command to see the log again?
[02:34] <TheLighty> I need an example
[02:34] <ikonia_> eki1 is ndis that good these days
[02:34] <arn_> Why "www.ubuntu.com" is not working?
[02:34] <ikonia_> TheLighty there are examples in the file
[02:34] <TheLighty> just saying add made the server not connect
[02:34] <jaycie-away> gordonjcp is htat a card? atheros?
[02:34] <eki1> gordon: negative, I've had nothing but trouble with the madwifi-ng
[02:34] <ikonia_> TheLighty there are examples on google
[02:34] <ComputerHermit> anyone here use bastille

However I'm using a X-FI Music on my Windows Partition now, which is sadly not supported under linux. Now I have the problem that my onboard sound does not work under Ubuntu anymore either! Seeing I don't want to have to unplug the X-FI everytime i log in ubuntu (wanting, and try to use it as main OS) I would greatly appreaciate if one of

[02:35] <ikonia_> eki1 sounds like its moved on a lot
[02:35] <TheLighty> Frogzoo they are real IP's
[02:35] <VII> eki1: what was the command to see the log again?
[02:35] <ikonia_> TheLightyhe means virtual on a nic or on a real nic
[02:35] <Don_Juan> when I say: lsmod | grep e1000 is says: e1000   124440   0
[02:35] <Steve_J> erstazi : I tried the word "root" as the username but itwould not allow me to use it

[02:36] <ikonia_> Steve_J just re-install
[02:36] <eki1> yes... root login is disabled by default
[02:36] <ikonia_> TheLighty google for the interfaces file - or use the examples in the file
[02:36] <ikonia_> TheLighty there should be examples in the file if it is on the network
[02:36] <jaycie> the pc is an older dell
[02:36] <VII> eki1: th
[02:36] <erstazi> Steve_J: I would re-install
[02:36] <VII> thx
[02:36] <Steve_J> ye looks like it
[02:36] <gordonjcp> jaycie: atheros is the name of a chipset inside a card, as is Atmel
[02:36] <Steve_J> thanks for all your help
[02:36] <eki1> yeah....reinstall(sounds like windows..haha)
[02:36] <Steve_J> good day to you all
[02:36] <dyrne> Selaiah: might work: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=366662
[02:36] <jaycie> ok gordonjcp
[02:37] <gordonjcp> jaycie: lots of manufacturers use the same chips in their cards
[02:37] <erstazi> don't get me started about M$
[02:37] <Selaiah> Will have a look thanks Dyrne.
[02:37] <erstazi> Steve_J: No problem
[02:37] <jaycie> does anyone here use usb wireless with ubuntu?
[02:37] <jaycie> i will be glad to buy an internal card if that simplifies things
[02:37] <ComputerHermit> funny realy
[02:38] <ikonia_> jaycie I personally don't like them and I think the drivers are weak as a general rule of thumb
[02:38] <erstazi> ikonia_: agreed
[02:38] <olofant> searching person with gnome & ethernet per Router
[02:38] <jaycie> ikonia thats y i will buy the card but wanted to know a brand thats tested and i will have to buy online
[02:39] <Selaiah> jaycie: I bought a WRT54GL router and flashe dit with a special firmware. Its now working as a wireless bridge with my main router. TO go on online now all i have to do is plug in my comp with an ethernet cable to router2 :D
[02:39] <Selaiah> Thats how i circumvent ALL the linux wlan troubles, ive had before with internal cards.
[02:39] <Selaiah> :D
[02:39] <ph8> hey guys! I just tried to install edgy-386 on a mate's machine, and it gets 'logical block' errors on /dev/hda - which stops the installer starting - any idea how to combat this? Already unplugged all USB (bar keyboard/mouse) in case that was a problem
[02:39] <Frogzoo> TheLighty: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-networking-configuration-using-command-line.html
[02:39] <erstazi> what firmware did you use?
[02:39] <Selaiah> dd-wrt
[02:39] <olofant> someone here with ethernet per router?
[02:39] <erstazi> ty
[02:40] <jaycie> i can't plug in.. i have to use wireless and i talked to linksys and they don't support any cards i think
[02:40] <fnf> ph8: are you sure the HDD is working ?
[02:40] <Selaiah> Why do you HAVE to us ewireless Jaycie?
[02:40] <ikonia_> jaycie thats why I told you to searc for hardware compatible lists to show the cards
[02:40] <Selaiah> ive read good results from ppl with netgear WPN111 or something
[02:40] <jaycie> Selaiah router is upstairs and this ubuntu pc will be downstairs
[02:40] <Selaiah> yes Jaycie thats why i suggested buying a 2nd router ;P read again please
[02:41] <jaycie> 2nd router?
[02:41] <Selaiah> you basicly connect both routers wirelessly, and put the 2nd next to your comp.
[02:41] <jaycie> hm
[02:41] <Selaiah> then you connect ur pc with ethernet to the 2nd router
[02:41] <ikonia_> or just by a repeater
[02:41] <Selaiah> that way you have to make NO setup at all.
[02:41] <ikonia_> which is a bit of kit designed for that purpose
[02:41] <eki1> or you could get one of those gaming adapters...
[02:41] <Caithness> where is xchat's userlist?
[02:41] <ikonia_> Caithness you hover over it
[02:41] <Caithness> i'm using 2.6.6 on edgy
[02:41] <ph8> fnf: Windows boots off it
[02:41] <erstazi> can I submit a link to jaycie?
[02:42] <ph8> fnf: Although that could mean anything :-)
[02:42] <jaycie> yes plz do erstazi
[02:42] <Caithness> hover over which now?
[02:42] <erstazi> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DD-WRT
[02:42] <jaycie> i hate to buy another router.. linux does not make it so simple for newbies lol
[02:42] <ph8> i'm about to try feisty herd 5 - desktop - but do you think that will fix it?
[02:42] <erstazi> jaycie: that was the quickest thing I found
[02:42] <blue|palm> help: I left my kubuntu pc on last night while it was downloading a torrent, and at about 3:pm today i tried to resume using it but kde froze. I then reset my x server with CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE and now i cant login using kdm anymore. kdm starts and I can enter my username and password, but when i hit enter the screen goes black and kdm just restarts
[02:42] <Caithness> u'm used to using xchat aqua where the userlist is on the right
[02:42] <erstazi> linux does, its community
[02:42] <Caithness> but there's nothing there in the ubuntu version i just installed
[02:42] <fnf> ph8: it sometimes is caused by non-standard/bad drive controller. Just to be sure, add "hda=noprobe" to the kernel parameters or unplug your HDD to see if it works.
[02:43] <Selaiah> buying a new router is not significiently more epxneisve than buying a proper wlan card tho Jaycie :D
[02:43] <pubo> hi all
[02:43] <ph8> cheers
[02:43] <blue|palm> hi all, what can i do if kdm just restarts when i try to log in?
[02:43] <erstazi> jaycie, Selaiah is correct, some routers are pretty inexpensive now
[02:43] <Selaiah> the Wlan card that I read the most positive results about in regards to compatibility was 45 euro here in germany. The Router thats flashable with flexible linux Firmware was 60 euro :P
[02:43] <eki1> blue|plam : "ctrl+alt+f2" and log in there
[02:43] <fnf> blue|palm: no experience with KDE, but you couls try logging in as other user.
[02:43] <pubo> anybody knows any program like Flashget where I could limit the downloads velocity?? Thx
[02:44] <ikonia_> blue|palm possibly out of disk space in your home dir or no write support
[02:44] <arn_> is there any file transferring program for ubuntu? i mean "winscp" type program that will connect to server using as a SSH client
[02:44] <ikonia_> arn_ scp
[02:44] <arn_> ok
[02:44] <blue|palm> eki1, my flgrx drivers screws up the CTRL+ALT+F terminals
[02:44] <Selaiah> jaycie: And just remember. once its running its running. Mac OS, Windows, Linux, new kernal reinstall.. its all running, you never have to install wpa supplicant or enter any passwords again or worry about drivers. All you need is onboard ethernet. :D
[02:44] <eki1> really? doesn't do that for me...
[02:44] <blue|palm> ikonia_, thanks
[02:44] <erstazi> Selaiah: I have seen your set up before but I have never attempted it. I shall try it this weekend.
[02:44] <blue|palm> ikonia_, I am low on disk space at present
[02:45] <ikonia_> blue|palm thats one of the most common causes.
[02:45] <erstazi> Selaiah: is it secure?
[02:45] <blue|palm> ikonia_ I had no idea thanks again
[02:45] <eki1> what about under session in KDM, select "console login"
[02:45] <Caithness> ikonia_, i don't know what i'm supposed to be hovering over; the channel tab?
[02:45] <Selaiah> Yeah i can definately recommend it erstazi. I have installed it at a friends and hes running 3 consoles and a comp on it now with good results to throughput and ping
[02:45] <blue|palm> eki1, i can get to a console login
[02:45] <eki1> ok.... then log in there...
[02:45] <blue|palm> eki1, ill just delete some junk :)
[02:45] <ikonia_> Caithness you hover over it right click and there is something that says list users or show users
[02:45] <eki1> ok
[02:45] <ikonia_> I don't have xchat at the moment so can't check
[02:45] <Selaiah> erstazi: the maximum encryption u can do with wireless bridge is WPA/AES and with cliennt bridge its WPA2/AES. Thats as secure as it gets.
[02:45] <pubo> please, I', trying to find a flashget like program which I can limit the download velocity. Anybody knows one??
[02:45] <blue|palm> eki1, if that is the problem
[02:46] <eki1> could very easily be...
[02:46] <erstazi> Selaiah: does the firmware have MAC address allowance?
[02:46] <blue|palm> thanks and bye
[02:46] <TheLighty> [Frogzoo]  thanx
[02:46] <Selaiah> yes although I do generally not recommend using mac address allownace at all Erstazi
[02:46] <fnf> pubo: wget
[02:46] <erstazi> I like the most restrictive enviroment :)
[02:46] <Selaiah> There is no security gain from it. Much better to use a proper 63 letter long pre-shared key and WPA or WPA2
[02:46] <eki1> can you do that with wget?
[02:46] <jaycie> erstazi do u use this wireless?
[02:47] <fnf> eki1: yup
[02:47] <eki1> oh...i'll have to try that
[02:47] <pubo> fnf, can I limit the velocity of the downloads with wget??
[02:47] <azathoth> how can i change the output on my soundcard? the sound is currently coming out of a different socket than i want it to...
[02:47] <erstazi> encryption is great, but for quick setups and what not, its great
[02:47] <fnf> pubo: you can pass --limit-rate to it, man for more info
[02:47] <arn_> ikonia, scp is having any GUI, is any software that have GUI and i can use to transfer file and folder to server?
[02:47] <erstazi> jaycie: use what wireless?
[02:47] <Selaiah> Its easy for people to "emulate" as in fake their MAC address. And Mac address allowance is the work of the devil with a huge number of reported issues. I'm really hesitant about it.
[02:47] <jaycie> the url u sent me.. do u use what is on there>
[02:47] <eki1> arn_ are you using kubuntu?
[02:47] <pubo> fnf, great!! thanks!!
[02:48] <ikonia_> arn_ if you want ssh/scp - not that I'm aware of, for ftp you could try gftp
[02:48] <weatherman> one last try :) does anybody know how to assign an ip adress to a server in a private network?
[02:48] <arn_> eki1, i am using ubuntu
[02:48] <eki1> oh..ok..
[02:48] <eki1> kubuntu's konqueror does a nice job of ssh remote folders
[02:48] <erstazi> Selaiah, maybe, I know it can be emulated.
[02:48] <ArCHoNKoG> Does anyone here had Creative Vision M 60, working on Ubuntu Edgy amd64. If so how because i have been reading for about 2 hours on forums.
[02:48] <eki1> you can probably just go get konqueror...
[02:48] <fnf> weatherman: setup a static network config
[02:49] <dyrne> weatherman: do you mean simply static address instead of dhcp?
[02:49] <ph8> flf: It boots with noprobe, but drops straight out to command-line - presumably because it has no local hard drives to install to (?)
[02:49] <ph8> where do i go from there?
[02:49] <eki1> ArCHoNKoG: you have to use MTP
[02:49] <ph8> would an alternate work better?
[02:49] <jaycie> erstazi so i need to download something there is what i think?
[02:49] <erstazi> jaycie: wikipedia provides links to
[02:50] <fnf> ph8: no, it should run GNOME even if you have no drive, what does it say on the console ?
[02:50] <erstazi> jaycie: http://dd-wrt.com is the correct place to find about the firmware and download
[02:50] <jaycie> ok i will check it more. tahnks alot *s*
[02:50] <jaycie> have u used this?
[02:50] <eki1> a gaming adaptor might be easier...
[02:50] <Selaiah> im using it atm
[02:50] <weatherman> dyrne , fnf: I know very little about networking, but I suppose a static address is what I need (I'm just setting up nfs between pc and laptop). How do I configure the static address?
[02:50] <ph8> fnf: some errors about not finding /dev/root or similar
[02:50] <erstazi> jaycie, don't thank me, thank Selaiah
[02:50] <ArCHoNKoG> eki1, Which version, i just installed libmtp2_0.0.18-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb
[02:51] <eki1> I don't know..... but I was researching it for a freind
[02:51] <Ayabara> I'm trying to set up automounting at work. 1. in which file do I set nisdomainname? 2. how can I make sure that /home is not automounted?
[02:51] <jaycie> ah ok gthsnks Selaiah
[02:51] <Selaiah> np :D
[02:51] <fnf> weatherman: to save the fuss, you may go to Administration-->Network and work from there
[02:51] <Selaiah> Ahwell I'll try booting my ubuntu now to see if i can fix this soundcard problem. BB soon :D
[02:51] <jaycie> glad yall r here to help.. bye for now
[02:51] <eki1> ybe
[02:51] <fnf> ph8: there's no such device though. Does unplugging the HDD help ?
[02:52] <dyrne> weatherman: well a one time connect would be like: sudo ifconfig eth0 up; sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.101   and thats it. to setup perm youll edit interfaces file like gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces    but you can do all that through gui though im not familiar with gnome tools
[02:52] <erstazi> Thank you Selaiah, I have heard of people before installing DSL on a router
[02:52] <Caithness> aha, it was there all along, it was just so skinny i couldn't see it
[02:52] <dyrne> weatherman: what fnf said :)
[02:52] <ph8> fnf: I haven't opened up the box - i think my friend would be averse to it :)
[02:53] <Selaiah> :D the DD-wrt firmware is clearly a great piece of coding. Its making my life so much easier
[02:53] <eki1> last time I checked it was a big pain... festy should have native support though
[02:53] <ph8> could it be a case of an fsck being needed on the drive? (or the windows equivalent)
[02:53] <Selaiah> anyway BB and thanks for the nice chat!
[02:54] <fnf> ph8: in which case I have no idea, it could be a kernel mis-configuration but most likely caused by the drive. What Ubuntu version is it anyway ?
[02:54] <azathoth> anyoen know how i can change my soundcard output? the sound is currently coming out of the wrong socket... i want to change from the subwoofer output to the main front output...
[02:54] <azathoth> i can't see it in any configuration dialog
[02:55] <weatherman> dyrne: hmm I just have fluxbuntu on the server, is it hard to edit /etc/network/interfaces manually?
[02:55] <eki1> no...its not..
[02:55] <eki1> ^^to weather man.. sorry
[02:55] <fnf> ph8: Ubuntu under Feisty makes no attempt to automount the partitions, so any bad sectors or screwed FAT would no raise such error.
[02:58] <spinz8r> there is sneak preview on herd 5. go to osnews
[02:58] <ikonia_> why ?
[02:58] <ikonia_> just install it
[02:58] <spinz8r> ooops sorry wrong post
[02:58] <_Rappy_> I'm trying to use wget to get all the stuff in a dir, but it noes not seem to be possible. Anyone knows how to make this work?
[02:58] <ikonia_> its not "sneaky" you can download it
[02:59] <dyrne> weatherman: no very straight forward. im not familiar with the syntax offhand but a quick google search should show you. (im not on ubuntu right now)
[02:59] <dyrne> weatherman: then just sudo ifdown eth0; sudo ifup eth0
[03:00] <weatherman> tnx everybody, I found a couple of howtos and I'll try them out now
[03:02] <rafa> hello friends
[03:02] <rafa> good morning
[03:03] <rafa> my name is rafa
[03:03] <Rebecca> hey, how do i restart my usb sub system? lsusb completely freezes (kill -9 fails to terminate it). and auto mount doesn't work.
[03:03] <lava-head> Hi everyone, I need some help on a tricky problem.
[03:03] <eshaase> anyone here have bmpx working in feisty?
[03:03] <AngryElf_> Did somebody break php5/apache2 last night?
[03:03] <pierrelux> Rebecca: you can unload a module with rmmod
[03:03] <Rebecca> pierrelux: then reload without rebooting?
[03:03] <noe> hi, is there somebody from Russia?
[03:03] <Lynoure> lava-head: What kind of tricky problem? Mindreading in too tricky for me :)
[03:04] <Lynoure> !ru | noe
[03:04] <ubotu> noe:    #ubuntu-ru       /  Pozhalujsta vojdite v #ubuntu-ru dlq pomoshchi na russkom qzyke
[03:04] <AngryElf_> I can't apt-get upgrade/exit
[03:04] <marsan> hello. i got a printer problem, after i innstalled Ubuntu 6.10 again i cant seem to get my printer to work (Epson stylus c66). I can see my printer in lsusb but the gnome-cups program cant find its location. any tips?
[03:06] <VII> Help. WHen I login I get sent back to the login screen. Really confusing.
[03:06] <Rebecca> pierrelux: do you know what module in particular i should be rm-ing? given my system sees my hdd + my usb both as scsi devices i don't want to make a mistake here
[03:06] <lava-head> My problem is with an s3virge video card.
[03:07] <pierrelux> Rebecca: just reboot if you can, and it will be fine I guess if it's just bad mount/umount
[03:07] <dyrne> marsan: im not familiar with gnome-cups but 127.0.0.1:631 in a browser and a search of linuxprinting.org is how i usually set one up
[03:07] <Rebecca> pierrelux: rebooting isn't an option at the moment.. otherwise i would have done so
[03:07] <Rebecca> :)
[03:08] <marsan> thanks dyrne!

[03:09] <Industrial> cheers
[03:10] <TangledUpInBlue> I am having a probem with my dual boot Win2k/ubuntu 6.10.  I had Ubuntu do the partioning, then installed ubuntu. Did the updates.  booted back to win 2000, it did an automatic chkdsk and everything was ok.  I then rebooted and wanted to go to Ubuntu again and it almost get up to the point where the menu comes up where I can select Win 2k or ubuntu to boot.  before I can see a menu it just...
[03:10] <TangledUpInBlue> ...reboots again and again and again
[03:10] <Rebecca> pierrelux: rmmod usb_storage seems to have frozen..
[03:10] <pierrelux> is edgy back-compatible with some dapper packages ? http://monotone.ca/downloads/0.28/monotone_0.28-dapper0.1_i386.deb is only available for dapper. Does Ubuntu provide an out-of-the box solution to upgrade dependencies inside this package ?
[03:10] <VII> Help. WHen I login I get sent back to the login screen. Really confusing.
[03:11] <Lynoure> lava-head: What kind of problem you have with it?
[03:14] <lava-head> Lynoure: I am getting strange artifacts and colour smears when displaying some images, otherwise it is fine. Realplayer for example gives me lots of green rectangles. I have some screenshots if you would like to see. A lot of windows like this one are fine.
[03:15] <Lynoure> lava-head: Which version of ubuntu you are using?
[03:15] <dyrne> VII: are there any other user accounts? two things to do: alt-ctrl-f2 then login then 'sudo adduser' whatever name and pass once thats done check hd space by 'df -h' see if / is full.   then alt-crtl-f7 and try to login with the new user. if that works its just a straight forward profile issue easy to fix. if youre out of space on / youll need to free some up. it could be other things also
[03:15] <lava-head> Edgy.
[03:17] <VII> dyrne, I have alot of space, also, I dont get any error message, like when I type in the wrong password.
[03:18] <VII> this started after I ran "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[03:19] <fluppet> the sys admin hasn't written a name on the new printer in my computer room, so I don't know what to call it when using lpr -Plaser???, is there any way of finding out what it is called?
[03:19] <dyrne> VII: so x isnt configured correctly. just alt-ctrl-f2 and login and do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg   again. make sure you choose vesa as driver then just defaults or whatever for everything else
[03:19] <epignosis> when i try to configure amarok in ubuntu i get this error " Qt (>= Qt 3.3 and < 4.0) (library qt-mt) not found. Please check your installation!" , i have already tried to install the libqt-mt-dev package from synaptic, unfortunately it cannot install.  does anyone have any suggestion in this matter?
[03:19] <minimec> hi... Just a software question. I always used realplayer 10. Is it still worth using it, or do the standard video player do a good job on real-files?
[03:20] <Guerrand> fluppet: see if you can get to the printers menu system ... if they havent already locked it out you can print a configuration page through the menu and get the name
[03:20] <dyrne> VII: or you can use nano to edit the file like sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf  if youre comfortable doing that
[03:20] <bna31> buntu
[03:20] <lava-head> Lynoure: I have put a note about it on the forum. You can see it here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=379174.
[03:20] <VII> dyrne, yes, it was set to "nv" before, which would alow me to get to the login screen. I got a monitor error instead. So I change dto vesa, and now I get to the login screen, but I cant login. I just get sent back to the login screen.
[03:20] <dyrne> VII: once reconfigure is done youll sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart   to have it read the new file
[03:20] <VII> dyrne: which WOULDNT allow me
[03:20] <b0ri5> how do I test if my Nvidia card is working?
[03:21] <bna31> help needed... unable to update to latest x11-common (herd5)
[03:21] <eshaase> anyone have any luck with bmpx in feisty?
[03:21] <IdleOne> bna31, change your sources.list to archive.ubuntu.com ( remove the country code )
[03:21] <dyrne> VII: hmm if youre already having this much trouble might as well just try and install nvidida drivers.
[03:21] <fluppet> Guerrand: thanks, I'll try that
[03:21] <bna31> thanks... i'll try
[03:21] <b0ri5> is there a cmd to test the nvidia drivers?
[03:22] <Jowi> bna31, (feisty support in #ubuntu+1)
[03:22] <IdleOne> bna31, Feisty support in #ubuntu+1
[03:22] <IdleOne> Jowi, plus 1 for you :P
[03:22] <Jowi> heh
[03:22] <riaal> is it possible to connect to a network or just list (etc.) whit kismet?
[03:22] <b0ri5> I installed the Nvidia drivers, and now I need to test to make sure they're working. How do I do this??
[03:23] <VII> dyrne, Im gonna give it another shot, will probably be back in 5 mins :P
[03:23] <dyrne> b0ri5: sudo apt-get install tremulous :)
[03:23] <omegabeta> Question : I want to rysnc an iso from* a server to my home dir, whats the comand to do this
[03:23] <qsrv> hi
[03:23] <IdleOne> bna31, the reason for that is apperently not all the repos have the new updated package. should be uploaded to other repos soon I would think
[03:23] <qsrv> I've got a question regarding cd and dvd burning
[03:23] <b0ri5> I get this:
[03:24] <b0ri5> E: Couldn't find package tremulous
[03:24] <Lynoure> lava-head: I do not think I have any ideas you have not already tried.
[03:24] <IdleOne> b0ri5, you have universe and multiverse enabled?
[03:24] <fluppet> Guerrand: Hmm, I printed the config pages (2), but there doesn't seem to be a name on them... it has a protocal information section which has host name as pr-15, but, but I don't think that's the printer name...
[03:24] <qsrv> Some applications (like nero for windows) can write to a dvd or cdr without creating an image on the hard drive beofre that. Are there any linux applications, capable of this?
[03:25] <IdleOne> !repos | b0ri5 enable universe and multiverse
[03:25] <ubotu> b0ri5 enable universe and multiverse: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[03:25] <minimec> qsrv: Maybe k3b, but I am not sure
[03:26] <lava-head> Lynoure: Drat! Do you think it is a faulty xserver package or could it be one of the graphics libraries?
[03:26] <b0ri5> yes, how would I have installed the drivers in the first place? But do I have to enable for ALL of the channels?
[03:27] <dyrne> b0ri5: i was sort of kidding trem is a 3d shooter game.  glxgears in terminal will tell you
[03:27] <Lynoure> lava-head: You could try reconfiguring or reinstalling the packages. Do you have the artifacts outside video streams?
[03:27] <bobslaede> i love how the evolution team has "irc meetings weekly" and "everybody is welcome to join", but theres no irc server listed...
[03:27] <omeil> is there anyway to stop wine from only loading half a program? itsl ike i get a boarder and a blank screen
[03:27] <b0ri5> I am a newbie to linux, so I don't know the cmd's
[03:27] <Lynoure> lava-head: (oh, seems that you do)
[03:27] <dyrne> anyone remember flag for fps on glxgears?
[03:27] <IdleOne> b0ri5, hehe sorry I thought you just wanted to install the game didnt realise it was to test 3d
[03:28] <b0ri5> I also might want a game for linux. Didn't know they existed.
[03:28] <omegabeta> Question : I want to rysnc an iso from* a server to my home dir, whats the comand to do this
[03:28] <IdleOne> b0ri5, but if apt-get isnt finding the package then you dont seem to have enable universe and multiverse
[03:28] <ke-> b0ri5, WoW or Enemy Territory :)
[03:28] <b0ri5> I have enabled them for Ubuntu Binary
[03:29] <b0ri5> can I get a pirated Linux version of WoW?
[03:29] <dyrne> b0ri5: look at tremulous or enemy terr for fps and wesnoth is nice kind of like the old might and magic
[03:29] <IdleOne> b0ri5, follow that link ubotu gave you and follow the instructions... your going to need to do it anyway
[03:29] <lmg> hello there. I have a problem booting any kernel newer than 2.6.20-6-generic (which works fine). it freezes after detecting USB devices.
[03:29] <Guerrand> fluppet: you might find that the printer has been ip locked ... I would tell you to do a pingsweep .. but chances are you admins wouldnt appreciate it
[03:30] <b0ri5> running that "glxgears" cmd I get the gear animation. Does that mean the card is working?
[03:30] <Lynoure> lava-head: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-95531.html sounds possibly related
[03:30] <lsdr> quit
[03:30] <lsdr> \quit
[03:30] <lava-head> Lynoure: Yes, but only on certain images like the ubuntu support page header or the progressive download bar of firefox. I had a series of vertical lines down my Enlightenment WM screen, but my Icewm screen is normal. I suspect it has something to do with overlay effects.
[03:30] <Selaiah> How can i select a different default audio player?
[03:30] <pierrelux> b0ri5: please go away if you want to do illegal stuff
[03:30] <IdleOne> hehe quit \quit ] quit errr where is that / key again
[03:31] <omegabeta> ftp://ftp.iinet.net.au/pub/debian-cd/current/i386/iso-dvd/ - how do I rsync this directory? (as in download its conetents) ?
[03:31] <b0ri5> I thought linux is for hackers and people who want to pirate stuff
[03:31] <dyrne> b0ri5: glxgears -iacknowledgethatthistoolisnotabenchmark  should give frames per sec
[03:31] <IdleOne> b0ri5, we dont provide support for software cracking/hacking or anything like that
[03:31] <IdleOne> b0ri5, you thought wrong
[03:31] <b0ri5> just asking.
[03:32] <dyrne> b0ri5: linux is what you use when you get tired of having to break the law just to use your computer
[03:32] <lmg> do failed attempts to boot a kernel get logged? and if so, where to?
[03:32] <`nicola> guys when I start ubuntu I have this error http://pastebin.ca/386312

[03:36] <IdleOne> !printer > KeeNaF
[03:36] <b0ri5> I'm never going back to Windows
[03:37] <IdleOne> !offtopic > b0ri5
[03:37] <VII> neither am I, if only I could login :D
[03:37] <omegabeta> IdleOne: they screw up unless they are rsynced, trust me - ive downloaded 25 gigs trying
[03:37] <KeeNaF> IdleOne .. what does !printer mean??? I dont get it
[03:37] <IdleOne> KeeNaF, you should have a window/tab from ubotu look at it
[03:37] <b0ri5> I get around ~220FPS, is that ok?
[03:37] <Pici> KeeNaF: See the private message from ubotu
[03:37] <kristofer_> I just installed nss-mdns... I can ping the apt repositories, but apt can't resolve any hostnames. got any ideas?
[03:38] <Pici> b0ri5: glxgears is not a benchmark
[03:38] <b0ri5> where do I get legal benchmarking tools?
[03:38] <KeeNaF> IdleOne: ok ..
[03:38] <kristofer_> as if there are illegal benchmarking tools
[03:39] <dyrne> b0ri5: but thats low.  google glxgears fps for an idea of what to expect.  if you installed nvidida though you whould have a nvidia splash screen when x starts
[03:39] <Selaiah> automatix webby down for everyone?
[03:39] <Selaiah> :D
[03:39] <shigutso> is it true that MS Office 2007 will read all OpenOffice documents, like .odt, etc?
[03:39] <Pici> !automatix | Selaiah
[03:39] <ubotu> Selaiah: automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[03:39] <b0ri5> It's weird. I also got 2200FPS later on
[03:39] <bronze_0_1> shigutso: no
[03:40] <bronze_0_1> shigutso: not that I've heard.
[03:40] <bronze_0_1> shigutso: but there are people working on plug-ins for MS-office that will do that.
[03:40] <IdleOne> shigutso, would be nice . but OpenOffice for windows works with MS office
[03:40] <Selaiah> Pici: I didn't ask for support. I just asked about the website :P !apache ? :P
[03:40] <shigutso> bronze_0_1, oh... :/... it's because i've read in a magazine about linux here
[03:40] <dyrne> b0ri5: install some 3d games in synaptic and play around
[03:41] <shigutso> IdleOne, yeah, but MS Office can't read .odt documents...
[03:41] <bronze_0_1> shigutso: as being a feature of MS-office or as being a third party add-in?
[03:41] <IdleOne> shigutso, well that's MS fault
[03:41] <Hitman079> O.S.R-open source revenge http:\\www.nuxil.blogspot.com
[03:42] <Pici> Selaiah: I know, I'm just posting the caveat
[03:42] <KeeNaF> from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XeroxPrinters ,, what is dmesg???
[03:42] <b0ri5> doesn't make sense. At first I got 2200 then 220FPS all the time.
[03:42] <shigutso> bronze_0_1, being a feature of MS Office.. because a lot of governments are changing all of it's documents do the OpenOffice format, because it is better than MSOffice format

[03:42] <Tux> hey guys, I have a problem, I want to install vm client on my linux distro ( ubuntu ) so that I can remote with vm server
[03:43] <tarelerulz> I don't have working cd drive and I do have usb hard drive how would I install ubuntu ?
[03:43] <K3nto> !benchmark

[03:43] <roland__> help i installed Transgaming Cedega on ubuntu 6.10 (version 5.2 cedega) and its all ok until i get to the system checks to see if my pc can run games then when i click video test it fails and it locks up my system only way to come back is to hard shutdown.why is this happening ? i have ati radeon 9550 and i installed the ati proprietary drivers and in my xorg.conf it shows as module "ati"
[03:43] <Tux> but I dont know how to install vm client on linux ?
[03:44] <bronze_0_1> shigutso: I really dont think its a feature of MS-office. I thinks its an add in, but I can be wrong.
[03:44] <tarelerulz> I want to install it on the computer with out working cd rom drive
[03:44] <bobslaede> can anybody recomend a *good* CalDav client?
[03:44] <VII> Anyone know why I get sent back to the login screen when I login???
[03:44] <shigutso> bronze_0_1, hmm ok... thanks for the information  :D
[03:45] <b0ri5> how do I install superkaramba?
[03:45] <Guido93> Hi , Im Italian. I've a problem with installation of Ubuntu. When i starting the installation in my old laptop , Ubuntu says me "Need BIOS Update". How can i update BIOS if i can't install none system operative? Excuse for my bad english.. Someone can help me?
[03:45] <IdleOne> !it | Guido93
[03:45] <Guerrand> shigutso: it IS only an addon ... MS contributed some code or somesuch to a sourceforge project to assist them ... in reality they didnt do anything, but atleast this way they can claim to the gov's that they are implimenting it
[03:45] <ubotu> Guido93: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[03:45] <bobslaede> Guido93: i think theres an #ubuntu-it channel
[03:45] <bobslaede> oh :P
[03:45] <Guido93> Thank's :)
[03:45] <`nicola> Guido93, you don't need os to install bios
[03:46] <Guido93> My english was very bad!
[03:46] <`nicola> btw join italian channel
[03:46] <Pici> Guido93: No, it wasnt that bad!
[03:46] <Guerrand> shigutso; and the add-on doesnt work very well .. it can open OK .. but since it is lacking the specs for MS office it really is hit-and-miss
[03:46] <quiet> Guido93, you seen like you speak good English... but if you'remore comfortable with italian, there is #ubuntu-it
[03:46] <IdleOne> Guido93, your english is fine but I thought that maybe it would be easier for you to understand in Italian
[03:46] <Guido93> IdleOne , quiet , Pici: Ok! I am there :)
[03:46] <IdleOne> 
[03:46] <shigutso> Guerrand, oh.. what a piece of crap then :P... but at least it is a begining...
[03:47] <TangledUpInBlue>  am having a probem with my dual boot Win2k/ubuntu 6.10. I had Ubuntu do the partioning, then installed ubuntu. Did the updates. booted back to win 2000, it did an automatic chkdsk and everything was ok. I then rebooted and wanted to go to Ubuntu again and it almost get up to the point where the menu comes up where I can select Win 2k or ubuntu to boot. before I can see a menu it just...
[03:47] <TangledUpInBlue> ...reboots again and again and again
[03:47] <roland__> help i installed Transgaming Cedega on ubuntu 6.10 (version 5.2 cedega) and its all ok until i get to the system checks to see if my pc can run games then when i click video test it fails and it locks up my system only way to come back is to hard shutdown.why is this happening ? i have ati radeon 9550 and i installed the ati proprietary drivers and in my xorg.conf it shows as module "ati"
[03:47] <The_Noob_Ninja> anyone available to help with additional hd install issues?
[03:48] <shadow_18pollin> hiii
[03:48] <Guerrand> shigutso: MS is trying to delay the implimentation of odf so that they can push their own format ... until someone kills off m$'s chances of that they will still simply toy around with odf
[03:48] <shadow_18pollin> whats up
[03:48] <tarelerulz> any of you guys see black arrow on konqueror with white x on it that lets you searh fast
[03:48] <b0ri5> ok, I installed superkaramba and ran it. It opened, but I got errror msgs in the prompt. Is this normal?
[03:49] <devilsreject> what up all
[03:49] <ekimus> any suggestions on a lightweight smtp command line mailer (i.e. sendmail replacement)?
[03:49] <shigutso> Guerrand, damn... I have MS >=/... but, as the governments are changing to ODF, MS won't have choice :D
[03:49] <b0ri5> it says it failed to open input device. What is this and is it normal??
[03:49] <bobslaede> ekimus: i think theres a new sendmail in qmail or courier
[03:49] <`nicola> does anyone read what I write ?
[03:50] <The_Noob_Ninja> @ nicola: yep :)
[03:50] <`nicola> thanks The_Noob_Ninja
[03:50] <`nicola> guys when I start ubuntu gnome-panel keeps crashing  http://pastebin.ca/386312
[03:50] <roland__> i installed cedega and it fails on video test locking up my system can anyone sugest me a solution? i have ati radeon 9550 and ati driver
[03:50] <roland__> worked fine on kubuntu 6.10
[03:50] <ekimus> bobslaede: no I don't want a full mailserver i just need something that forwards mails to my mailserver (which is postfix). but there are just too many out there and I don't know how well supported they are
[03:50] <b0ri5> has anyone here installed superkaramba??
[03:50] <DaneliF> Yeah
[03:51] <b0ri5> when i run it in prompt, are those error msgs normal?
[03:51] <`nicola> roland__, try #cedega
[03:51] <DaneliF> Ati 9550, Ubuntu orginal driver is better then Ati's own
[03:51] <Guerrand> shigutso: if the governements can all legislate odf then your right .. eitherway if m$ loses their proprietary formats then they will be at serious risk of losing the market .... this is how they built their empire and I seriously doubt they are going to die quietly
[03:51] <bobslaede> ekimus: then i can't help, sorry :P
[03:51] <b0ri5> it said failed to open device, but superkaramba ran anyway
[03:51] <Syco_> Hi guys, I seem to be having a odd 3d problem.  I can only seem to play any 3d games after a fresh reboot.  Be it ET for linux or WoW through both Cadega or Wine, with ET it runs very slow after the pc has been up and being used for an hour or more, with WoW it just wont open.  Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing it?
[03:51] <DaneliF> sudo dokg reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:52] <Syco_> but they both run fine after a fresh boot
[03:52] <VII> Anyone know why I get sent back to the login screen when I login??? Sorry if I re-post to often. :x
[03:52] <b0ri5> it said cmd not found
[03:52] <lava-head> Lynoure: Thanks for your interest. I haven't found much else to go on. I'll restart and see what happens. Thanks.
[03:52] <Guerrand> Syco_ : to me it seems like you have a memory leak .... although saying that I have no idea how to help :P
[03:53] <shigutso> Guerrand, yeah, they are bad but not stupid... but maybe one day (not too far hehe) ODT and DOC will be fully compatible
[03:53] <Syco_> Guerrand: haha, yeah..  Google also has no idea how to help it seems :(
[03:53] <Syco_> Is there any way I can check for a memory leak?
[03:53] <Zaggynl> When I open a file with VLC, then close it, the sound keeps playing, unless I kill the process wxvlc
[03:54] <Zaggynl> Ubuntu 6.06
[03:54] <Guerrand> Syco_; try shutting down any unncessary services/apps ... then bring them back up one by one .... eventually you should findout what program is causing the leak .... otehrwise you could prolly just look at the resource list and see who is eating all your memory when you cant play games
[03:54] <crash_> i have a serious problem
[03:54] <Syco_> in the task manager type thing Firefox is using the highest amount (100mb) but I have 2gig and apparantly only 400mb is being used thus far
[03:54] <crash_> i did a rm -R /etc/
[03:54] <dyrne> crash_: thats a problem :)
[03:54] <Pici> crash_: thats quite a problem
[03:55] <gordonjcp> Syco_: you're not using anything odd like Beryl that might be getting in the way
[03:55] <gordonjcp> are you?
[03:55] <crash_> how can I undelete it
[03:55] <gordonjcp> crash_: you can't
[03:55] <Pici> crash_: a time machine?
[03:55] <Syco_> gordonjcp: I installed Beryl recently but don't have it running at the moment.  But I don't think that's the problem as I've had this issue since I first installed Ubuntu (so a month or so before Beryl)
[03:55] <Guerrand> shigutso: noticing alot of noise in the media about googles premium services ... if google is upto the hype i seriously think they can throw m$ out of the market .... and honestly as long as google supports open standards i would throw my weight behind them ... they are about the only one that can take on m$
[03:55] <gordonjcp> Syco_: hm, and you've got glx working properly?
[03:56] <b0ri5> what superkaramba theme displays sys info like cpu load, etc.? Is beryl a theme?
[03:56] <gordonjcp> crash_: there isn't really an undelete
[03:56] <dyrne> crash_: maybe you could do a dpkg-reconfigure on ever one of your packages.. im not familiar with debian system enough to know though
[03:56] <Lord_Vader> if I did a bad poweroff (not letting linux unmount all the drives etc etc) and during the next bootup linux checks the filesystems and says it's ok. can I be absolutely sure that no data loss has occurred?
[03:56] <gordonjcp> dyrne: where would dpkg get its configuration from?
[03:56] <Syco_> gordonjcp: well, it seems to be after a fresh boot..  websites I've read that had "do this to see if glx is working" and have followed the directions have come back positive
[03:56] <roland__> what was the other driver module named (for ati card) coming with Xorg ?
[03:57] <gordonjcp> Syco_: can you pin it down to any specific thing that stops it working?
[03:57] <crash_> do ext2 undelete tools work?
[03:57] <Guerrand> gordonjcp: is it possible to have a memory leak taking the ram from the gfx card?
[03:57] <gordonjcp> Guerrand: doubt it
[03:57] <dyrne> gordonjcp: i cant be bothered with the details!
[03:57] <eegresso> some from Brasil ?
[03:57] <Guerrand> gordonjcp: yeah hadnt heard of it either .... : /
[03:57] <IdleOne> besides bluefish and nvu any other apps I can try out?
[03:57] <Syco_> gordonjcp: No..  I might try some tests over the next few days.. ie, fresh boot and not open anything for a few hours then try launching something.. then try opening one program at a time I have running normally... I haven't done this yet though so no I can't pinpoint it atm
[03:58] <Pici> !br | eegresso
[03:58] <ubotu> eegresso: pt is Por favor use #ubuntu-br  ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigado.
[03:58] <gordonjcp> Syco_: also, you might try running ps and see if that shows anything that shouldn't be there
[03:58] <shigutso> Guerrand, yea me too... well, google's programs aren't opensource at all, but they prefer to use opensource formats... and yea, I think too that google is the only one that can beat MS
[03:58] <dyrne> crash_: maybe someone could tar their /etc for you but id consider a reinstal after backing up /home
[03:59] <Syco_> gordonjcp: heh, I haven't used Linux for years.. I don't think I'd know what should and shouldn't be there..
[03:59] <tarelerulz> unlesl google comes out with an Os they are going to have to do alot to beat ms
[03:59] <erstazi> MS definately fears google so much that they are "supposively" going to have web applications
[03:59] <dyrne> crash_: there will be much messyness
[03:59] <crash_> crap, i had a lot of custom config in there
[03:59] <Syco_> Should firefox with only two tabs open really be using 100mb of memory?
[04:00] <crash_> its a server
[04:00] <nosrednaekim> they don't need to some out with an OS... just look at the FAA
[04:00] <Guerrand> shigutso: i honestly dont mind that google isnt opensource .... the fact that they adhere to open standards is all i could ask from a company .. that they are fighting with m$ is just a dream come true :P
[04:00] <Syco_> Don't Google sponsor a lot of open source projects?
[04:00] <nosrednaekim> firefox is a memory hog...its not unheard of
[04:00] <Lord_Vader> if I did a bad poweroff (not letting linux unmount all the drives etc etc) and during the next bootup linux checks the filesystems and says it's ok. can I be absolutely sure that no data loss has occurred?
[04:01] <Chousuke> All modern apps are memory hogs :/
[04:01] <crash_> its a raid 5 setup with lvm does that help?
[04:01] <roland__> hey, my video test fails and locks my system when it comes to glxgears test ...
[04:01] <tarelerulz> I am just saying google is still ran on windows and program or two they lost is not that big
[04:01] <nosrednaekim> Lord_VAder yes... everythin us fine
[04:01] <erstazi> Syco_: depending on what you are viewing, yes 100mb is not unheard of with two tabs
[04:01] <VII> Anyone know why I get sent back to the login screen when I login??? Sorry if I re-post to often. :x
[04:01] <Syco_> I know in windows it used to get up over 200mb sometimes heh
[04:01] <Lord_Vader> nosrednaekim, u sure?
[04:01] <nosrednaekim> yeah...
[04:01] <Lord_Vader> kewl :D
[04:01] <erstazi> I know PDF files push the limits
[04:02] <dyrne> VII: it sounds like your settings are out of range for your monitor but i cant be sure
[04:02] <Kooka> huhu zusammen
[04:02] <Guerrand> tarelerulz: not true .... the applications are what define the OS .... if you take the applications out of the mix then the rest is simply a function of cost ... for proof just look at m$'s defeat of OS2 and Apple
[04:02] <shigutso> Guerrand, hehe yea that's true... when google start a real fight against  MS, we will be happy xD
[04:02] <Lord_Vader> Chousuke, which leads you to the question: are the apps really modern or just obselete? :P
[04:02] <nosrednaekim> VII did you go check the Xorg log like I said?
[04:02] <Syco_> the next largest thing running is just "java" at 60mb .. I'm not real sure why that'd be running unless it's needed by xchat or gaim (I just closed firefox)
[04:02] <roland__> hey, my video test fails and locks my system when it comes to glxgears test on my ati radeon 9550 with ati proprietary driver.. what can be wrong ? pls
[04:02] <Chousuke> Lord_Vader: Actually, no-one just cares about memory usage that much anymore,.
[04:02] <erstazi> Java can be bloated also
[04:03] <b0ri5> how do I install beryl?
[04:03] <Chousuke> not on a normal desktop machine at least
[04:03] <VII> nosred: yes
[04:03] <nosrednaekim> Bori5: go to ubuntuguide.com
[04:03] <Lord_Vader> Chousuke, that's sucks :/ no one appreciates an effective app anymore?
[04:03] <nosrednaekim> what did the end say?
[04:03] <VII> nosred: I didnt know what to lok for tho, it was a huge file
[04:03] <erstazi> BB
[04:03] <Chousuke> Lord_Vader: Well, on embedded platforms.
[04:03] <eddtheduck> I have a hard disk from from a cctv device which has an unidentifiable partition type. Is it possible and if so how, to get the data off the disk?
[04:04] <nosrednaekim> yeah.... the essential part is at the end
[04:04] <b0ri5> I could not find the package in package manager, and terminal does not recognize the cmd.
[04:04] <crash_> will a dd find anything?
[04:04] <Chousuke> Lord_Vader: but on modern machines, you can basically assume that you're not going to run out of memory.
[04:04] <erUSUL> !beryl
[04:04] <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
[04:04] <Lord_Vader> Chousuke, guess I'll come back nagging after I've done some programming myself :P
[04:04] <VII> nosrednaekim: I thought so, but I could find anything of interest..or anything mentioning a login at all
[04:04] <eddtheduck> how does dd work
[04:04] <garuhhh> hi! anyone ever used webmin?
[04:04] <Syco_> OK, well, hopefully I haven't over-stayed my welcome and can move onto my next issue heh...  I have two FAT32 300gig IDE drives that run fine in windows but are so increadibly slow in Ubuntu.  To copy a 700mb file sometimes takes over 30 minutes.  To just open a folder and read the contents takes 20-25 seconds (per folder).  Any ideas?
[04:04] <Chousuke> Lord_Vader: heh.
[04:05] <nosrednaekim> V11: ok, there must have been an error though
[04:05] <Chousuke> I try to avoid making stupid mistakes while programming
[04:05] <cogeno> I'm trying to reinstall grub (Nuked it with a Windows re-install) through a Gentoo livecd. when I try to install it to /dev/hda (grub-install /dev/hda), it tells me selected disk does not exist. I know that the HD is on /dev/hda and the Linux partitino is on the first partition.
[04:05] <riaal> Need some help, if a page say: "sudo apt-get install linux-headers"  the apt-get says I need to specify a package,  what to pick of them?
[04:05] <varka> !anyone | garuhhh
[04:05] <ubotu> garuhhh: 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?
[04:05] <cogeno> anyone know what's going no/
[04:05] <tarelerulz> I use ntfs-3g for my fat32 usb drives
[04:05] <Chousuke> but if there's a choice between less memory usage and less code, I take the less code approach .P
[04:05] <Lord_Vader> Chousuke, that's always a good idea no matter what you do: don't make stupid mistakes :P
[04:06] <Syco_> tarelerulz: and it works well?
[04:06] <Lord_Vader> yeah I get that :P
[04:06] <tarelerulz> It works great I have not had one problem
[04:06] <tarelerulz> and I used it all the time
[04:06] <Chousuke> The two rules of optimisation are 1) Don't optimise and 2) still, don't optimise. ;P
[04:06] <Syco_> I might give that a go for my IDE drives then, they're so increadibly slow
[04:06] <Lord_Vader> Chousuke, lol
[04:07] <nosrednaekim> cogeno, do the chroot approach into our ubuntu
[04:07] <nosrednaekim> *you
[04:07] <tarelerulz> and for media  mplayer is the best I have used
[04:07] <cogeno> nosrednaekim did that
[04:07] <garuhhh> am trying to follow a tutorial for webmin, and am stucked.. help?
[04:08] <nosrednaekim> ok so are all your files and everything still there?(ie did windows erase it)
[04:08] <cogeno> It's alls till ther
[04:08] <cogeno> e
[04:08] <nosrednaekim> ok
[04:08] <cogeno> It's all still there*
[04:08] <b0ri5> When installing Beryl I always get: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[04:08] <cogeno> I made the mistake of installing Windows second\
[04:08] <b0ri5> or: E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[04:09] <b0ri5> why does Linux have to be so complicated?
[04:09] <cogeno> b0ri5 Do you have a package manger open
[04:09] <Guerrand> Syco_: cants say i have any problems with my IDE's .. but i simply dont know enough about linux to help you out .. <-- n00b
[04:09] <cogeno> eg. Synaptic?
[04:09] <b0ri5> yes, should I close it?
[04:09] <cogeno> Yes.
[04:09] <b0ri5> ok
[04:09] <Menasim1> I want to install ubuntu
[04:09] <devilsreject> b0ri5 --- Linux is only comlicated cuz you dont know it... if you knew linux, well.... windows would still be ez LOL ;0)
[04:10] <Syco_> I just closed Firefox and opened WoW and ... it opened!
[04:10] <Guerrand> Syco: hehe atm i cant even keep my machine stable ... and there are no games involved :P
[04:10] <Tux> how do I get vm client on my linux ?
[04:10] <Syco_> What's the next best browser?//////
[04:10] <Syco_> Guerrand: haha
[04:10] <devilsreject> Menasiml  -- smart choice i just got done with the install and all the updates up to beryl i got wine installed so i can copy dvds w no prob
[04:10] <nosrednaekim> opera, konqueror
[04:10] <Xif> Hi. Does anyone know how I can install XChat 2.8 or later on Edgy?
[04:10] <Syco_> Oh, there's my third issue...  it's not major but every time I try to do a ?///// it comes out like that and I have to backspace the slashes..  Well, half the time it comes out as that, the other half the time it doesn't work at all
[04:11] <Guerrand> Syco: i think you might find that the Java and Firefox are the same problem
[04:11] <cogeno> Xif: Check the package manager
[04:11] <cogeno> Or do it yourself
[04:11] <cogeno> I'd prefer going throught he package manager
[04:11] <cogeno> That way it's eaier to maintain
[04:11] <Xif> cogeno: sure, but the latest in the PM is 2.6.8
[04:12] <nosrednaekim> cogeno: I'm not sure what your partition problem is.
[04:12] <Guerrand> Syco: your keyboard is prolly screwey ... just grab another keyboard and test it ... if it stops then its the keyboard .. if it doesnt then something in ubuntu is doing it
[04:12] <cogeno> nosrednaekim : Is it possible that it's a problem with /etc/fstab?
[04:12] <Syco_> Guerrand: Nah, it's a brand new keyboard (Wireless) it works fine in Windows..
[04:12] <b0ri5> (sigh) I get this: The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[04:12] <Syco_> I remember having the same issue years ago with Slackware but can't for the life of me remember the fix
[04:12] <[GneSH0r] > Does anyone know whow i set the skydome images in ubunto?
[04:13] <nosrednaekim> cogeno: I don't know
[04:13] <b0ri5> then at the end: E: Broken packages
[04:13] <Syco_> Ubuntu 6.10 = Edgy right?
[04:13] <[GneSH0r] > yup
[04:13] <Syco_> cool
[04:13] <Guerrand> new one is feisty :P
[04:13] <devilsreject> yep Syco_
[04:13] <devilsreject> thats what im runnin
[04:13] <nosrednaekim> bori5, are you still trying to install beryl?
[04:13] <b0ri5> yes....
[04:14] <kristofer> I've installed libnss-mdns and now apt-get update won't resolve hostnames
[04:14] <Guerrand> hehe every new ubuntu release brings an equally hilarious name ... tis a good distro in all sense of the word :P
[04:14] <kristofer> any ideas?
[04:14] <cogeno> nosrednaekim: As I've noticed it's laid out quite a bit differently than Gentoo's
[04:15] <nosrednaekim> bori5: did you check out the tutorial I gave you?
[04:15] <b0ri5> yes I did
[04:15] <nosrednaekim> did you follow it?
[04:15] <Smirnov> how do I add an IP to my dhcp server ignore list?
[04:15] <cogeno> Actually, maybe I should google it...
[04:15] <nosrednaekim> ( there should be a part in it about beryl)
[04:15] <Guerrand> still dont understand why they keep doing their PR speak to explain the names .... seriously just accept that someone prolly named it while drunk ... im certain the entire world would understand that
[04:15] <b0ri5> yes, I got the msg when running: sudo apt-get install beryl emerald-themes

[04:16] <b0ri5> I'm trying to install beryl now.
[04:16] <devilsreject> i thoguht u where going to install
[04:16] <devilsreject> right on
[04:17] <erUSUL> b0ri5: beryl-project wiki has guides
[04:17] <devilsreject> yeah i got it instaled but it wont go to the beryl window manager
[04:17] <b0ri5> thats what I'm following!
[04:17] <devilsreject> for some reason
[04:17] <nosrednaekim> the beryl project wiki? or the one I gave you?
[04:17] <erUSUL> b0ri5: http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu
[04:17] <b0ri5> I get this: The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[04:17] <b0ri5> the one u gave me
[04:18] <nosrednaekim> hmm... ok...erUSUL's is newer... try that...
[04:18] <b0ri5> what does it mean? are the packages not installed or something?
[04:18] <nosrednaekim> yes,and aren't on the server
[04:18] <b0ri5> whats the difference between xgl and aiglx?
[04:19] <`nicola> guys EVRYTIME I start ubuntu gnome-panels crashes http://pastebin.ca/386336 and http://pastebin.ca/386344 . I need help thanks
[04:19] <erUSUL> b0ri5: i followed that beryl + aiglx + beta nvidia drivers
[04:19] <nosrednaekim> AIGLX will only work with recent Nvidia cards and Intels
[04:19] <nosrednaekim> Xgl does the rest
[04:19] <erUSUL> b0ri5: xgl is a separate X server aiglx is an extension integrated in the default Xserver
[04:20] <erUSUL> nosrednaekim: and the cards supported by the free radeon driver (up to r300)
[04:20] <nosrednaekim> right... forgot about them
[04:21] <devilsreject> erUSUL [04:21] <erUSUL> nosrednaekim: and it is not "recent Nvidia cards" is "recent Nvidia *driver*"
[04:21] <vitorneves> I does anyone knows how to install UBUNTU on sata 2 HD? Suse, Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora don't work also, only sabayon, madriva and gentoo can handle these discs / controllers
[04:21] <b0ri5> I followed all directions twice, still get the same error msg!
[04:21] <erUSUL> devilsreject: run beryl-manager froma terminal it will spit out the error
[04:21] <nosrednaekim> yes, but only recent(past 2-3 years) nvidia cards can use that driver
[04:21] <devilsreject> erUSUL --- ur the man thanx
[04:21] <erUSUL> b0ri5: which card & driver are you using?
[04:22] <b0ri5> nvidia 400 mx

[04:22] <devilsreject> no
[04:22] <devilsreject> i dont think so
[04:22] <kimmern> Hey! I was messing around with beryl last night, and on rendering options, I choose "force xgl" when i had the choice between that and "force aiglx" and "force nvidia"..which obviesly  was a stupid thing..beryl won't work, and i cant get into the beryl settings to change back..ive tried uninstall an reinstall, but still it wont work..can anyone help?
[04:22] <erUSUL> devilsreject: yes you didn't enable the render or composite extension in your xorg.conf? or maybe your driver does not support it
[04:23] <devilsreject> it should
[04:23] <erUSUL> !paste > devilsreject
[04:23] <devilsreject> its the new ati
[04:23] <devilsreject> it worked b4

[04:23] <nosrednaekim> using XGL?
[04:23] <devilsreject> im pretty sure im xgl
[04:23] <devilsreject> 6.10 edgey
[04:23] <erUSUL> b0ri5: and the driver? are you using nvidia-glx package?
[04:24] <nosrednaekim> devils: did you install XGL?
[04:24] <devilsreject> didn't know i had to lol
[04:24] <nosrednaekim> yeah.... go do that
[04:24] <devilsreject> i followed the instructions
[04:24] <devilsreject> on the sites to a T!
[04:25] <nosrednaekim> well..I remember having to install Xgl.. maybe you had better check and make sure is installed
[04:25] <devilsreject> how do  check
[04:25] <nosrednaekim> kimmern: did you try a complete removal?
[04:25] <devilsreject> theres no package avail
[04:25] <devilsreject> just
[04:25] <devilsreject> xserver shows up
[04:25] <nosrednaekim> devils: check in your package manager for xgl
[04:25] <devilsreject> maybe i installed the wrong version of xserver lemme check
[04:26] <nosrednaekim> no..no... your version of the xserver doesn't matter
[04:26] <devilsreject> nosrednaekim == right on, no xgl server package came up
[04:26] <nosrednaekim> ok...IDK where you have to get tat from...
[04:27] <[GneSH0r] > does anyone know how he has that OS X bar at the top?
[04:27] <[GneSH0r] > ?
[04:27] <kimmern> nosrednaekim: I remove it with automatix2bleeder, same as i installed it with..how do i do a complete removal?
[04:27] <nosrednaekim> there should be a package " xerver-xgl"
[04:28] <devilsreject> xserver-xgl yeah.. i have that installed
[04:28] <ares32> could anybody help me please? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9236/
[04:28] <nosrednaekim> kimmern, use synaptic and these instructions http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu
[04:28] <devilsreject> thats the only thing athat came up with xgl on it when i searched for it in synaptic package manager
[04:28] <nosrednaekim> after removing beryl from automatix
[04:29] <nosrednaekim> oh ok... you have tat installed?
[04:29] <devilsreject> yeah
[04:29] <nosrednaekim> then thats fine...
[04:29] <devilsreject> thats what i dont understand
[04:29] <nosrednaekim> you miust not be running that xserver, you must still be using vanilla X11

[04:30] <D--> Hey, I'm having a problem with banshee after last update. I get a problem that the gtk-sharp assembly isn't found (http://www.ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=179)
[04:30] <atomiku> !paste | devilsreject
[04:30] <ubotu> devilsreject: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[04:30] <devilsreject> sory
[04:30] <atomiku> its alright :)
[04:30] <D--> Tried an apt-get install gtk-sharp but that's not fixing it
[04:30] <devilsreject> i even went to the website to paste it
[04:31] <nosrednaekim> devils: ok,did you see somewhere in the instructons you followed that said anything about making a separate GDM selection?
[04:32] <devilsreject> seperate gdm selection??
[04:32] <nosrednaekim> yea, a section that started xserver-xgl instead of xserver
[04:32] <devilsreject> no dont remember that
[04:32] <devilsreject> how do i do this
[04:32] <nosrednaekim> you know..I'm using Kubuntu,maybe Ubuntu handles it differently..
[04:34] <atomiku> anybody know of some sort of virtual decks program for linux?
[04:34] <nosrednaekim> what is a virtual deck?
[04:34] <atomiku> like
[04:34] <atomiku> for mixing
[04:34] <nosrednaekim> oh...ok..I don't know
[04:35] <devilsreject> darn
[04:35] <devilsreject> thanks for helping man
[04:35] <nosrednaekim> I'm checking o it though
[04:37] <ik_> hi my friends
[04:37] <devilsreject> thanx man
[04:37] <ik_> i want to put a svn server is that posible?
[04:37] <javier> hello
[04:37] <Dr_willis> !fins svn
[04:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fins svn - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:37] <Dr_willis> !find svn
[04:37] <ubotu> Found: libapache2-svn, libsvn-core-perl, libsvn-doc, libsvn-javahl, libsvn-ruby (and 27 others)
[04:38] <Dr_willis> ik_,  theres quite a few svn pakcatges it seems in the repos. :)
[04:38] <nosrednaekim> devils: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/Xgl
[04:38] <vitorneves> can't install ubuntu on a new acer power pc with sata 2 HD, any help?
[04:38] <Kronuz> hey, why is it that applications in X (gnome, KDE, etc...) are not as responsive as Windows applications when it comes to start them (it always takes longer that it generally takes a windows app to load, even small apps)
[04:38] <ik_> Dr_willis ah o :)
[04:38] <devilsreject> awesome thanx man
[04:39] <Kronuz> ...I'm wondering why is that so
[04:39] <Dr_willis> Kronuz,  windows tends to preload a lot of things at boot time.
[04:39] <nosrednaekim> hmmm Kronuz, I haven;t noticed that
[04:39] <Dr_willis> Kronuz,  while kde or gnome has a lot of libs and services that load when a program first starts up.
[04:39] <Dr_willis> nosrednaekim,  ive not really noticed it much either. :)
[04:39] <cogeno> *Spams a mac channel out of boredom*
[04:40] <fong> has anyone been able to make the hibernate function work?
[04:40] <Dr_willis> Id actually notice where is linux is normally faster.
[04:40] <nosrednaekim> fong, I have suspend2ram working, but not hibernate
[04:40] <osfameron> I notice that linux shuts down much faster :-)
[04:40] <osfameron> but startup doesn't seem much different
[04:40] <Kronuz> believe me, I have noticed apps load much slower in linux... I come from Windows and I had been a Windows user for ages
[04:40] <fong> nosrednaaekim, did you do any special config?
[04:40] <unconn> hi 2 all
[04:40] <nosrednaekim> nope...
[04:41] <fong> !suspend2ram
[04:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about suspend2ram - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:41] <Kronuz> like, iven the calculator
[04:41] <trueslash> I actually don't watch my computer shutting down ^^
[04:41] <Kronuz> even*
[04:41] <Kronuz> takes about 3 seconds to load
[04:41] <nosrednaekim> it depends on your chipset though( ATI Xpress1100 here with a turionX2)
[04:41] <Kronuz> (every time)
[04:41] <b0ri5> I'm back. I still cannot install beryl-I get the unmet dependencies error msg.
[04:41] <mt3> Hi all
[04:41] <Dr_willis> Kronuz,  i would like to see accurate benchmarks to be honest with ya..  ive not noticed  many differances.. not that it matters much.
[04:41] <Kronuz> (say 2 seconds)
[04:41] <mt3> Does anyone here use a DG834G?
[04:41] <nosrednaekim> oh the caluculator...I'm not sure whats wrong with that thins
[04:42] <mt3> I need to know what port remote access runs on
[04:42] <b0ri5> I tried installing the packages from package manager, but I get the same error message.
[04:42] <Kronuz> Dr_willis, it does matter to users coming from other systems, I'm sure...  it makes the system look slower (for the time it takes to load apps)
[04:42] <mt3> You know I may give Ubuntu another try when 7.03 is released. It's BEGINNING to look nearly presentable.
[04:42] <Dr_willis> Kronuz,  only thing i can think of is your DMA may be disabled for your hard drives.
[04:43] <Kronuz> Dr_willis, I don't think so ;)
[04:43] <Dr_willis> Kronuz,  amazing thing is that You are proberly the first person ive seen in here saying linux was slower.. i see several a day comming in and saying howmuch FASTER ubuntu is then their windows setup.
[04:43] <Kronuz> Dr_willis, and I'm using RAID with an access rate of around 100MB/s
[04:43] <Kronuz> it's just slower loading apps
[04:43] <Kronuz> not the apps per se
[04:43] <Kronuz> (the time it takes to first load them, comared to the time it takes in windows)
[04:43] <Dr_willis> Find some benchmarks then i guess. if you are saying the hard-drive system seems slow. Its possible theres some driver bugs or somthing going on.
[04:44] <b0ri5>  No one has any ideas??
[04:44] <vitorneves> can't install ubuntu on a new acer power pc with sata 2 HD, any help?
[04:44] <b0ri5> what are "unmet dependencies" anyway?
[04:44] <Kronuz> and I'm not sure it's the pre-load thing, I've loaded the calculator quite a few times and it's still taking around 2 secs to load
[04:44] <nosrednaekim> but are the same apps, Kronuz?
[04:44] <vitorneves> cannot recognize HD
[04:44] <Dr_willis> b0ri5,  packates that are needed by the initial package.
[04:44] <Kronuz> any app takes too long to load (I'm testing the calculator right now, but any does)
[04:44] <Vuen> hey guys, has automatix ceased to exist?
[04:44] <nosrednaekim> they are packages that need to be installed, but can;t be found on tha package mirrors
[04:45] <nosrednaekim> no
[04:45] <Kronuz> look, loading calculator again....
[04:45] <Dr_willis> Kronuz,  sounds more and more like some ide/drive/system bottleneck.
[04:45] <Kronuz> ~2 seconds (again)
[04:45] <b0ri5> but I can't even install those!
[04:45] <Kronuz> Dr_willis, try opening the calculator (gnome's) and tell me how long it takes to load, plz
[04:46] <nosrednaekim> yes, try updating your package lists in synaptic
[04:46] <Dr_willis> gcalctool takes 1 sec to show up from the time i hit enter.
[04:46] <Kronuz> (around how long)
[04:46] <Dr_willis> using the terminal
[04:46] <bulmer> am having difficulty running freenx server and client because of key..am getting confused which key goes to where and if i have to generate the key.
[04:46] <Kronuz> oh, 'cause in windows is practicaly immediate
[04:46] <Dr_willis> im also running gnome. :)
[04:46] <nosrednaekim> well what do you expect? thats why windows uses so much ram
[04:46] <Kronuz> you press the button and bang, it's there (at least the second time)
[04:46] <nosrednaekim> it probably preloads the calulator
[04:47] <Dr_willis> windows preloads everything
[04:47] <Kronuz> nosrednaekim, but still, it would be nice if linux had that option for users with a bunch of RAM
[04:47] <bulmer> Kronuz you tried windows 2000 slowness?
[04:47] <devilsreject> dear god my system is runing SUPER SUPER SLOW now
[04:47] <nosrednaekim> I think there is somewhere
[04:47] <Kronuz> how can I tell how much RAM it being used in my system?
[04:47] <Dr_willis> free -h
[04:47] <b0ri5> hwo do I install these initial packets?
[04:47] <bulmer> Kronuz: you can, try using ramdisk
[04:47] <devilsreject> like soo slwo i cant do anything
[04:47] <devilsreject> this sucks
[04:47] <nosrednaekim> what did you do devils?
[04:47] <devilsreject> what that page told me to do
[04:48] <nosrednaekim> ahh....
[04:48] <devilsreject> it worked i picked xgl as my defualt login
[04:48] <Kronuz> but, hey, linux still also has cache
[04:48] <Kronuz> and by now, the calculator should be in cache already
[04:48] <FredaStark> hi, happy international women's day!
[04:48] <Kronuz> and still takes around two or 1.5 seconds to load

[04:49] <sistero_> "We don't have a clue what it is to be male or female, or if there are intermediate genders. Male and female might be fields which overlap into androgyny or different kinds of sexual desires. But because we live in a Western, patriarchal world, we have very little chance of exploring these gender possibilities.
[04:49] <simoneDeBeauvoir> nooooo not bots!~
[04:49] <sistero_> Everybody loves you when they are about to cum.
[04:49] <Kronuz> Dr_willis, yep, just a little bit more than a second

[04:50] <[GneSH0r] > anyone know what i need to run windows games IE Steam on linux ubunto with beryl?
[04:50] <Dr_willis> [GneSH0r] ,  ive heard that wine and beryl have some issues at times.
[04:50] <Kronuz> Dr_willis, say 800 ms perhaps... and that's 750 ms too long :P
[04:50] <Askar> Hi! How come my trayicon doesnt show up as transparent when it is?
[04:50] <Dr_willis> Kronuz,  egads! it shoudl calculate what i am THINKING!
[04:50] <nosrednaekim> thank goodness
[04:50] <Kronuz> lol
[04:50] <b0ri5> how do I install Beryl? I keep getting the unmet dependencies msg
[04:50] <nosrednaekim> yeah yeah... did you update your pack lists?
[04:51] <Dr_willis> Load your calculator and just minimize it then if its that imporntant. :)
[04:51] <b0ri5> how?
[04:51] <devilsreject> nosrednaekim u mean in sypnatic package man?
[04:51] <devilsreject> yep
[04:51] <Kronuz> Dr_willis, no, but really, there must be something that's making all the apps load slower that they can (somewhere) I'm sure it's not a disk access thing
[04:51] <Dr_willis> or fire up those debuging tools and see what all the apps are doing.
[04:51] <Dr_willis> I would guess they are checking libs and other things.
[04:51] <nosrednaekim> bori5: click the reload button in synaptic
[04:51] <nosrednaekim> devils: say again?
[04:51] <Dr_willis> try a uber-minimal window manager. :) try the shell...
[04:51] <Dr_willis> !info bonnie
[04:51] <ubotu> Package bonnie does not exist in edgy, edgy-backports, edgy-seveas
[04:52] <nosrednaekim> and use python as a colulator
[04:52] <slippyr4> is there an web based ubuntu package list? a bit like gentoo-portage.com is to gentoo
[04:52] <nosrednaekim> !bonnie++
[04:52] <ubotu> bonnie++: Hard drive bottleneck testing benchmark suite.. In component main, is optional. Version 1.03abuild1 (edgy), package size 40 kB, installed size 144 kB

[04:52] <nosrednaekim> yeah... don't realy worry about that
[04:52] <devilsreject> k
[04:53] <b0ri5> what do I do next? Install those packages or run the cmd?
[04:53] <nosrednaekim> devils: did you run glxinfo? wat do the first 5 lines say?
[04:53] <nosrednaekim> boris: reinstall the beryl packages
[04:53] <slippyr4> !beryl : b-ri5
[04:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about beryl : b-ri5 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:53] <Askar> How do I check my gnomeversion?
[04:53] <slippyr4> !beryl | b0ri5
[04:53] <ubotu> b0ri5: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[04:53] <minimec> b0ri5: You have to load the key file and then sudo apt-key add 'key-file'
[04:54] <matthewgroulx> Hi, this is going to sound ultimate newbiesh, but I am trying to install graphics drivers and I dont know how to get to my desktop directory where I saved the file
[04:54] <slippyr4> b0ri5 : the howto that links to has the step required to fix the problem you're describing
[04:54] <nosrednaekim> its in /home/yourusername/Desktop
[04:54] <matthewgroulx> thank you
[04:54] <Dr_willis> matthewgroulx,  you following the !ati or !nvidia guides? whats your video card?
[04:55] <slippyr4> matthewgroulx: in a console, ~ is short for your home dir, which on ubuntu is /home/username . Desktop is a subdirectory of that. so you can cd ~/Desktop
[04:55] <matthewgroulx> geforce 8800 following invidias guide a little and a forum post in the ubuntu support forums
[04:55] <b0ri5> I ran that wget cmd, but it does not return to bash. Am I supposed to wait?
[04:55] <nosrednaekim> nice...hows the 8800?
[04:55] <flafla> is there anyone knowledgeable with the nvidia drivers?  I have to reinstall mine everytime I reboot... there must be a way to fix this...
[04:56] <matthewgroulx> it would be better if I had the drivers installed I think lol
[04:56] <dyrne> flafla: guessing youre in feisty
[04:56] <nosrednaekim> yeah...haha
[04:56] <flafla> dyrne: no

[04:57] <Kronuz> keeping certain applications loaded would be a nice addition to linux (so that they start really fast, explorer, calculator, and in other words, the most used applications)
[04:57] <Askar> How do I update to latest gnomeversion??? :(
[04:58] <Kronuz> (or rather browser :P)
[04:58] <nosrednaekim> I was about to say...
[04:58] <nosrednaekim> but yes...I agree with you Krunuz
[04:58] <dfgas> is there a repo that has pretty close to the newest kernel
[04:59] <minimec> Askar: Why would you want to do that? 'Feisty will have a quiet new Version of Gnome. So just wait another month ;)
[04:59] <dyrne> flafla: looks like an issue with nv since they incuded it http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=376840
[04:59] <slippyr4> b0ri5: do it in two steps, i think the pipe is broken. try wget http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org/root@lupine.me.uk.gpg first, and then sudo apt-key add root@lupine.me.uk.gpg
[05:00] <nosrednaekim> or go get the fiesty alpha if you want to break your system that bad...:-P
[05:00] <ucordes> cdrecord is giving me cdrecord: Data will not fit on any disk. cdrecord: Cannot write more than remaining DVD capacity.
[05:00] <ucordes> the iso is 2gig and im using a normal dvd- how can htis be?
[05:00] <nosrednaekim> you're out of room on the DVD/CD
[05:00] <Wewt> what? Wewt? :s
[05:01] <flafla> dyrne: Thanks,  I'll give that a try :D
[05:01] <ucordes> nosrednaekim: gnome said it would be an empty dvd
[05:01] <WorldDomination> hi
[05:01] <WorldDomination> I got a problem with software update in edgy eft
[05:01] <dyrne> i wish ubuntu would prompt to install /home as a sep partition. it would save alot of reinstall issues for new users..
[05:01] <WorldDomination> it doesnt like my software sources
[05:01] <nosrednaekim> yeah...that wouldbe agood idea
[05:01] <b0ri5> I still get the same error message!
[05:02] <nosrednaekim> WordDomination: whats the exact error message?
[05:03] <Lr5> I guess I would need to remotely mount the other computer's video card to use it's screen...
[05:03] <Dr_willis> Huh...
[05:03] <b0ri5> I still get "The following packages have unmet dependencies:"
[05:04] <b0ri5> how do I meet dependencies?
[05:04] <bulmer> dyrne: its a choice during partitioning mode
[05:04] <nosrednaekim> and what packages are those packages?
[05:04] <Toma-> b0ri5: are you using dpkg?
[05:04] <Dr_willis> its possible youve added some repositories that are confused/broken.
[05:04] <nosrednaekim> bulmer: by default it doesn't do that
[05:04] <b0ri5> i have no idea what dpkg is.
[05:04] <b0ri5> whats the url for pastebin?
[05:05] <Toma-> !pastebin
[05:05] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[05:05] <nosrednaekim> he's using synaptic
[05:05] <WorldDomination> well
[05:05] <bulmer> nosrednaekim: if one does uses the default suggested partiions indeed, but it also gives an option to customize partitions
[05:05] <WorldDomination> I dont know howto get rid of this problem
[05:05] <WorldDomination> what softwaresources should I specify
[05:05] <Dr_willis> Its going to get scary when Beryl is officially supported...
[05:05] <nosrednaekim> yeah... but will n ordinary user know to do it?
[05:06] <nosrednaekim> haha yeah...
[05:06] <bulmer> nope, only if they read what it says
[05:06] <nosrednaekim> whish they would just go over to ubuntu-effects
[05:06] <Toma-> Dr_willis: thats when you say "Get out while you still can." :D
[05:06] <b0ri5> error msg: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9243/
[05:06] <Dr_willis> WorldDomination,  i think you nead to clarify what you are doing and what what the problem is.
[05:06] <apokryphos> how can you get a little more output on what fetchmail is doing? /var/log/fetchmail isn't very useful
[05:06] <dyrne> bulmer: if it was default we could have a simple system restore that wipes and reinstalls / after grabbing current installed packages using dpkg brand new working system will all packages ready to go and /home intact
[05:06] <Dr_willis> Toma-,  ive allready taken the additude that i dont support 'beryl, themes,  wine, or games' :)
[05:07] <Toma-> Dr_willis: how boring :>
[05:07] <Dr_willis> Toma-,  and wireless .. :)
[05:07] <Dr_willis> *wireless* egads... dont even get me strted on that..
[05:07] <Toma-> b0ri5: can you paste 'cat /etc/apt/sources.list' aswell?
[05:07] <Dr_willis> heh heh..
[05:07] <bulmer> dyrne: i dont expect much of the user storing much in their ~ dir anyways
[05:07] <DooMRunneR> hi
[05:07] <Toma-> Dr_willis: yeh, when it comes to wireless, its "!ndiswraper | nick" next question plz!
[05:08] <Kronuz> nosrednaekim, other thing I've noticed is that gnome has to have some issues 'cause it takes too long for it to draw a window
[05:08] <Dr_willis> Toma-,  i am still amazed at the total Chaos in the wirless market.. then they keep comming out with new stuff...
[05:08] <taonari> Hello
[05:08] <WorldDomination> ok Dr_willis
[05:08] <nosrednaekim> Toma: yeah ndiswrapper is a nice cure all, but then along somes WpA
[05:08] <taonari> Does anyone know if there is a working howto for automatix?
[05:08] <Kronuz> I mean, c'mon... a window resize should be much faster than what it currently is
[05:08] <b0ri5> sources.list= http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9244/
[05:08] <Dr_willis> taonari,  best it to NOT use automatix.
[05:08] <taonari> Dr_willis, really?
[05:09] <Toma-> Dr_willis: its does seem sometimes that standards just have no purpose
[05:09] <Dr_willis> taonari, REALLY REALLY!
[05:09] <taonari> Dr_willis, I don't know much about it...I am just switching over from Gentoo
[05:09] <taonari> Dr_willis, does it cause problems?
[05:09] <Dr_willis> Toma-,  yep.. save .oo4$ by breaking the standard.
[05:09] <WorldDomination> Dr_willis I am initiating a software update or better: system update. it tells me that something is wrong with the software sources. the server I have specified has something with "gandalf"in it. itis afrenchserver.tis the only one I have specified.
[05:09] <Kronuz> I'll get into the source code just as soon as I feel comfortable working in linux (I just came from Windows world, running away from Vista)
[05:09] <Dr_willis> taonari,  it can cause a lot of problems.. its best to elarn to isntall the packages manually.
[05:09] <Toma-> taonari: try easyubuntu. its smarter.
[05:09] <taonari> Dr_willis: no problem then.  Thanks for the advice...I have been using the CLI for most of it
[05:10] <Toma-> !easyubuntu | taonari
[05:10] <ubotu> taonari: easyubuntu is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. See http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ - For help and or discussions about EasyUbuntu please join #easyubuntu
[05:10] <nosrednaekim> Boris I corrected your sources list...
[05:10] <Dr_willis> taonari,  i can go from a clean install, and get the video, java ans otehr stuff installed in just a few min.
[05:10] <WorldDomination> Dr_willis: now I want to know what sources I need to specify and "how" -for edgy eft.
[05:10] <ucordes> nosrednaekim: can a scratched up dvd be the reason for my problem?
[05:10] <nosrednaekim> boris : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9245/
[05:11] <Toma-> ucordes: whats your problem?
[05:11] <nosrednaekim> over write your sources.list with that
[05:11] <matthewgroulx> matt@matt-dekstop:`/Desktop$ sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-9755.pkg1.run , I am typing that in and it says no such file or diectory, I know that is the name of the file and I know its on my desktop, any suggestions of what I am doing wrong
[05:11] <Dr_willis> WorldDomination,  could use that !easysource wite and make a new sources list.
[05:11] <Menasim1> I want to install ubuntu
[05:11] <taonari> Toma-: I am using Ubuntu Edgy 6.10 and it seems fine.  I just installed it yesterday but I have been reading the ubuntu forums a lot and I hear mention of automatix every once in a while.
[05:11] <Dr_willis> !easysource
[05:11] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[05:11] <ucordes> Toma-: cdrecord is saying that my file would fit on NO disc and that there is not enough space on my current disc
[05:11] <Dr_willis> taonari,  you proberly missed out on the HUGE flamefest/war about a year or so ago about it :)
[05:11] <Toma-> matthewgroulx: you want the 9xxx drivers?

[05:12] <WorldDomination> !easysource site
[05:12] <Toma-> matthewgroulx: dont install the nvidia drivers from nvidia :D its crazy hard to do. use easyubuntu or even just run 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx'
[05:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about easysource site - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:12] <Dr_willis> matthewgroulx,  enable the correct repository, and you install 1 or 2 packages.. its that easy. I think. :) been a few mo since i last did it.
[05:12] <taonari> Dr_willis: I bet hehe.  Well I just found a nice howto to join the workstation to the Windows domain and I am going to give it a shot.  Thanks for the advice and have a good day.  :-)
[05:12] <WorldDomination> ...
[05:12] <matthewgroulx> alright

[05:13] <Toma-> taonari: yeh, just swap all the times youve heard 'automatix' to 'easyubuntu' and youll be set
[05:13] <ClarKent> anyone know what's my drive if i installed ubuntu without any customization
[05:13] <taonari> Toma-: very cool. So is easyubuntu a script?
[05:13] <Toma-> ucordes: how big is the file?
[05:13] <matthewgroulx> alright that is downloading/installing thanks
[05:13] <Dr_willis> also take count of all the tmes yovue seen 'easy  ubuntu' 'automatix' and "Trashed System" and you get a large #
[05:13] <Kronuz> hey, how do I install my printer? it's a laser printer connected thru ethernet
[05:13] <Toma-> taonari: yeh. unlike automatix, it wont alter your configs
[05:13] <eyalw> hi, I just opend the computer and there's no sound, it used to work. i know that if i'll restart it will come back from past experience, but rebooting is not the 'linux way' of doing things. can u guild me how to fix it console style?
[05:13] <ucordes> Toma-: 2.1gig it is an iso file. i tried it with cdrecord filename.iso
[05:14] <b0ri5> I get this error msg: W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://archive.ubuntu.com dapper/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_dapper_main_binary-i386_Packages)
[05:14] <WorldDomination> ?
[05:14] <Toma-> ucordes: and your using a DVD for this file right?
[05:14] <Dr_willis> Kronuz,  with mine i run that Printer config tool and use the directjet protocol, and give it the ip#
[05:14] <ucordes> Toma-: the disc is gently scratched up yes a DVD
[05:14] <Dr_willis> Kronuz,  then i tell it the make/model
[05:14] <ucordes> but gnome said it would be a blanc dvd though
[05:14] <Toma-> ucordes: youre trying to burn an ISO onto a scratched disc?
[05:14] <matthewgroulx> whats the command to turn KDM back on and get into my desktop again after I hit ctrl alt F1
[05:14] <Dr_willis> Kronuz,  'gnome-cups-manager'
[05:15] <ucordes> Toma-: no i just wanted to have the iso as a file on the disc
[05:15] <ucordes> Toma-: with cdrecord file.iso
[05:15] <Toma-> matthewgroulx: 'sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart'
[05:15] <Toma-> ucordes: do you need to use the command line?
[05:15] <ucordes> matthewgroulx: ctrl+alt+f7 !!
[05:15] <Dr_willis> Kronuz,  using the 'hp direject' 'printes ip#' 'port 9100' for my hp printer.
[05:16] <Kronuz> okay, I'm trying I'm in the printer's config
[05:16] <Kronuz> then should I press New printer? I suppose
[05:16] <Dr_willis> Kronuz,  of course your printer may support the other methods as well.. Mine does.. but i find the DirectJet works best.
[05:16] <ucordes> Toma-: yep yep
[05:16] <Dr_willis> Kronuz,  Logically.. yes. :)
[05:16] <Kronuz> :P
[05:16] <b0ri5> I think the sources.list file u gave me is incorrect-I get: W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://archive.ubuntu.com dapper/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_dapper_main_binary-i386_Packages)
[05:16] <Kronuz> but then what? :S
[05:16] <Kronuz> netwrk printer?
[05:16] <Toma-> ucordes: so you want 1 file on a disc, and its an iso?
[05:17] <Dr_willis> actually youmay need to run that tool with gksudo or whatever to let it run with root access
[05:17] <ucordes> Toma-: xactly
[05:17] <Toma-> ok
[05:17] <Dr_willis> Kronuz,  unless it asked forroot password allready.
[05:17] <eyalw> help
[05:17] <Dr_willis> network printer --> conection --> whatever your printer supports.. ---> enter the right info.--> select printer driver --> done. :)
[05:18] <Kronuz> Dr_willis, hmm.. my printer is not listed :(
[05:18] <Dr_willis> Kronuz,  clarify.. not listed where...
[05:18] <Kronuz> in the next step "Printer Driver"
[05:19] <nosrednaekim> bori5: you are uising edgy repositories with a dapper release... not a good idea
[05:19] <ucordes> can cdrecord handle blue ray?
[05:19] <Kronuz> Dr_willis, it's a DELL 3100cn
[05:19] <Dr_willis> Kronuz,  what kind of printer ya got? it may be a clone of some other kind.. or it mayneed some extra printer packages installed.. or it may not have any support.
[05:19] <Dr_willis> Kronuz,  i woudl guess the DELL is a clone of some other make/model.
[05:19] <Kronuz> Dr_willis, the port is in 9100 too, I belive
[05:19] <Dr_willis> To the Bat Google!
[05:19] <Dr_willis> :)
[05:20] <b0ri5> What does this mean: W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://archive.ubuntu.com dapper/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_dapper_main_binary-i386_Packages) ??????
[05:20] <lynucs> has anyone an idea, why hdparm -t on my usb-hd only shows 1MB/s? on both sides is usb 2.0. its a maxtor hd. hdparm -i, -d or -c don't work, quitting with "invalid argument".. what might me do??
[05:20] <Dr_willis> Kronuz,  first google hit. ----->  http://wiki.osuosl.org/display/LNX/Dell+3100cn,+Cups,+Firefox
[05:20] <Pici> b0ri5: It sounds like you have duplicate entries in your /etc/apt/sources.list file
[05:20] <Dr_willis> Kronuz,  its a LEXMARK... :) ick
[05:20] <Dr_willis> Lexmark Optra Color 1200 Foomatic/Postscript
[05:21] <Dr_willis> Kronuz,  may need to      apt-get install foomatic-db cupsys foomatic-filters-ppds
[05:21] <b0ri5> Pici, how should I fix the problem?
[05:21] <Kronuz> Dr_willis, hehe :)
[05:21] <Pici> b0ri5: Have you been changing anything in your sources.lst?
[05:21] <nosrednaekim> boris your package lists are all messed up, you need a fresh packlist file..I have edgy or I wouldgive it to
[05:21] <b0ri5> yes, someone gave me a new one
[05:21] <b0ri5> to fix the unmet dependencies problem in beryl
[05:22] <Dr_willis> Kronuz,  look at the power of linux.. :) odds are you dident have to install muchof anything to get the printer working.. all drivers there.. or at least in the repos. NO huning down web sites/driverguide.com and so on. :)
[05:22] <Dr_willis> Kronuz,  be thankfull you dont have a Canon Printer.
[05:22] <WorldDomination> Dr_willis ok I got the sources list generated from the ubuntu-nl.org site - where do I paste that content into ?
[05:22] <Kronuz> :P
[05:22] <WorldDomination> :)
[05:22] <Dr_willis> WorldDomination,   - /etc/apt/sources.list is the location of that file..
[05:22] <MetaMorfoziS> what ius the easyest (rsync like way) to mirror a folder to a remote, ftp server? (via ftp protocol)
[05:22] <Kronuz> Dr_willis, still it's downloading 22 MB :P
[05:23] <Dr_willis> WorldDomination,  you may want to read up on apt and how it works some time. its a very large topic.
[05:23] <WorldDomination> merci
[05:23] <Dr_willis> Kronuz,  those packages may not been needed. :) that url just mentioned them.
[05:23] <WorldDomination> i suppose I need to be root to edit this
[05:23] <avagant> So how's Edgy coming along?
[05:23] <Pici> WorldDomination: just use sudo
[05:23] <Dr_willis> WorldDomination,  logically.. ANYTHING thats 'system' configuration - needs to be root.. so yes.
[05:24] <avagant> What's new?
[05:26] <nosrednaekim> well... that one is obviously messed up Bori%
[05:26] <nosrednaekim> *bori5
[05:26] <WorldDomination> thanks a lot
[05:26] <blue|palm> is there any way to fix the massive blockiness around red areas when i play movies (.avi) with mplayer/xine etc.
[05:27] <nosrednaekim> blue|palm... did you fix your problem with xorg?
[05:27] <blue|palm> nosrednaekim: i have direct rendering up if thats what you mean?
[05:27] <nosrednaekim> yeah...
[05:27] <gordonjcp> blue|palm: have you got an example?
[05:27] <Crazytom> how do i reinstall the gui for disk administration?
[05:27] <matthewgroulx> alright now I am trying to install UT2004, I got to the right directory buut when I type in sudo sh linux-installer.sh it says no file or directory found
[05:27] <dfgas> ok on debian they have config.gz in /proc    is there the samething on on ubuntu and where?
[05:28] <blue|palm> gordonjcp: well anything that is red is highly pixelated even with post processing (pp) on... should i post a pic?
[05:28] <ardchoille> How do I unmount when umount says: umount: /mnt/ISO: device is busy  ?
[05:28] <dyrne> ardchoille: you can do umount -l
[05:28] <blue|palm> matthewgroulx: see if the file is actually there :)
[05:28] <blue|palm> matthewgroulx: it was for me
[05:28] <gordonjcp> blue|palm: is it only in mplayer?
[05:28] <blue|palm> gordonjcp: nope, also in xine
[05:29] <matthewgroulx> I dont see it anywhere actually
[05:29] <[GneSH0r] > anyone know what i need to run windows games IE Steam on linux ubunto with beryl?
[05:29] <gordonjcp> blue|palm: does it do it with all video clips?
[05:29] <Pelo> Crazytom, if you mean gparted, sudo apt-get install gparted
[05:29] <blue|palm> gordonjcp: no... it seems only 4CC encoded files (like xvid divx etc. )
[05:29] <Crazytom> pelo thanks
[05:30] <blue|palm> gordonjcp: could there be something wrong with my codecs?
[05:30] <gordonjcp> blue|palm: it's possible
[05:30] <Pelo> Crazytom,  you can also use synaptic,  you can search through the packages for descriptions of what you want
[05:30] <blue|palm> gordonjcp: im newish to linux so im learning as i go along... where does linux even keep its codecs?
[05:30] <gordonjcp> blue|palm: I suspect your video clips tbh ;-)
[05:30] <matthewgroulx> since I dont see the linux-install file should I just try and install UT2004 through wine?
[05:30] <blue|palm> gordonjcp: but these same video clips under media player classic are perfectly fine :)
[05:30] <gordonjcp> matthewgroulx: why?
[05:30] <Kronuz> Dr_willis, it seems to be doing, but I can't print the test page... looks like it's sending an A4 page and I have Letter paper loaded (so it just starts beeping about loading A4 paper)
[05:30] <gordonjcp> blue|palm: hmm
[05:31] <WorldDomination> seems to work
[05:31] <WorldDomination> thanks
[05:31] <blue|palm> gordonjcp: Ive been using media player classic and ffdshow (which uses ffmpeg as well same as mplayer) under windows up till now...
[05:31] <matthewgroulx> gordonjcp: I cant find the linux-installer.sh anywhere on the disk, so not sure what to do
[05:31] <b0ri5> This is driving me nuts. I tired all possible combinations of installing beryl in /etc/apt/sources.list, and now it's screwed up more-running "sudo apt-get install beryl emerald-themes" returns even more unmet dependencies.
[05:31] <gordonjcp> matthewgroulx: uhm, download it?
[05:31] <blue|palm> matthewgroulx: do you have the dvd?
[05:31] <Dr_willis> Kronuz,  a4 may be the default paper size. you can set that in the printer settings.. also check your dpi  settings.. ive noticed it sets it low for my printers
[05:31] <WorldDomination> Dr_willis thanks
[05:31] <matthewgroulx> ya I have the dvd
[05:31] <dyrne> blue|palm: you could try grabbing latest codecs from mplayer website
[05:31] <WorldDomination> it seems to work
[05:32] <Kronuz> "Load Tray A4" and the computer says "Letter test page has been sent to PRINTER"
[05:32] <Dr_willis> krang,  mine prints anyway with the wrong peper size.. but cust the end off. :)
[05:32] <blue|palm> dyrne: thanks i didnt even know that there were codecs on mplayer's site :)
[05:32] <WorldDomination> oh no 130mbs
[05:32] <WorldDomination> :)
[05:32] <gordonjcp> matthewgroulx: http://www.mepisguides.com/ut2k4/ut2k4.html
[05:32] <matthewgroulx> thanks
[05:33] <Dr_willis> *mepis* *shudder* heh heh
[05:33] <b0ri5> How do I install beryl????
[05:33] <ph8> search the wiki b0ri5
[05:33] <Dr_willis> Beryl is VERY VERY much a work in progress
[05:33] <Pelo> !beryl | b0ri5
[05:33] <ubotu> b0ri5: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[05:33] <matthewgroulx> ya but see even in his guide he shows the file linux-installer, and on my disc it is nowhere to be found
[05:34] <b0ri5> I've been literally spending 2 hours to install it.
[05:34] <Dr_willis> and stuff changes for it.. well.. perhaps daily even.
[05:34] <barreragmmgmchik> ythhgh
[05:34] <b0ri5> now sourcs.list is screwed up after someone gave me a corrected version.
[05:34] <Dr_willis> b0ri5,  now ya know why i say 'dont mess with it yet' :()
[05:34] <b0ri5> what should I do now??
[05:34] <blue|palm> dyrne: anything special i should do with these codecs? is there a guide anywhere?
[05:34] <Kronuz> Dr_willis, then how do I make my printer appear at my OpenOffice (there's just a generic printer there)
[05:35] <Dr_willis> Kronuz,  i never use openoffice.. im guessing theres some add printer tool for it.
[05:35] <Pelo> b0ri5, sudo gedit /etc/sources.list ,   remove the beryl sourcers and start again
[05:35] <Dr_willis> I dont even have openoffice installed.
[05:35] <Aw0L> I connected to a domain on an ubuntu server following this walkthrough: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91510 - I'd like to restrict anyone who is not on the domain from viewing samba shares
[05:35] <ucordes> !livecd
[05:35] <ubotu> Ubuntu Dapper 'Desktop' CD contains a Live CD (Ubuntu that runs straight off the CD and RAM) with an install option. Breezy's Live CD contained no install.
[05:35] <Kronuz> Dr_willis, what do you use then?
[05:35] <Aw0L> how might I go about doing that?
[05:35] <ucordes> !edgy
[05:35] <ubotu> Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) is the latest version of Ubuntu. Upgrading to Edgy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades - Downloading: http://www.ubuntu.com/download - Release Notes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseNotes
[05:35] <Pelo> Dr_willis,  if you are using ubuntu you have open office installed,   printers can be added in the main ubuntu menu  > system > admin > printers
[05:36] <Dr_willis> Pelo,  no i DONT have it installed.. :) i removed it.
[05:36] <dyrne> blue|palm: you basically just drop them in /usr/share/somewhere/lib/   they need to be in dir mplayer is looking for libs at. im not in ubuntu and in my slack box i installed mplayer to /home/ so im not sure of default path
[05:36] <dyrne> blue|palm: /usr/local or something
[05:36] <Dr_willis> Pelo,  point that to Kronuz
[05:36] <bulmer> am having difficulty running freenx server and client because of key..am getting confused which key goes to where and if i have to generate the key.
[05:36] <Dr_willis> heh
[05:37] <Pelo> Kronuz,  printers can be added in the main ubuntu menu  > system > admin > printers
[05:37] <Kronuz> Dr_willis, hehe... but you don't use any word processor or spreadsheet then?
[05:37] <Kronuz> Pelo, I have added my printer there, but I can't use it in OpenOffice :(
[05:37] <b0ri5> Pelo, after removing the beryl sources, I get this: E: Couldn't find package beryl. What should I do next?
[05:37] <Dr_willis> Kronuz,  most of my needs i cna do with abiword
[05:37] <blue|palm> dyrne: ill find it thanks
[05:37] <Kronuz> Pelo, (there's just a generic printer listed there)
[05:37] <Dr_willis> b0ri5,  you have been doing 'apt-get update' after changing the sources.list ?
[05:38] <AMSmith42> Which flavor of Ubuntu should I use for my LTSP server?
[05:38] <Pici> Would rsync be the right tool to use if I wanted changes to propagate in both directions?
[05:38] <Pelo> Kronuz,  Kronuz  what is the name of the printer listed in the cups windows ?
[05:38] <Kronuz> Pelo, I named it DELL
[05:38] <stb> has anyone used DownloadThemAll?
[05:38] <b0ri5> it's even worse now; I get this:
[05:38] <b0ri5> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
[05:38] <b0ri5> E: Unable to lock the list directory
[05:39] <Kronuz> I'll try Gnumeric and AbiWord
[05:39] <blue|palm> dyrne: thanks but it made no difference ill try mplayer's mailing lists
[05:39] <crazy_penguin> Hello
[05:40] <WorldDomination> Dr_willis is airsnort available as a normal sw-package in ubuntu ? or do I need to get it somewhere else than in the standard sources
[05:40] <b0ri5> Dr_willis, I get those error msgs above after apt-get update
[05:41] <blaz3> hello all!
[05:42] <Vigo_> Is Feisty stable? I have one, just wanted to make certain it is sorta ok release?
[05:43] <blahla> hey i was wondering if there was any helpers to help me install ubuntu
[05:43] <vicente> Vigo, it is stable enough, but for maximum stability i would go with edgy
[05:43] <vicente> blahla,  do you have two computers?
[05:43] <Kronuz> is GNOME office the same as AbiWord and GNumeric?
[05:43] <Vigo_> vincente: Thank you.
[05:43] <vicente> Kronuz,  no
[05:43] <blahla> im getting an error when i try and boot with it, i get an error of not enough higher memory
[05:43] <Aw0L> how can I setup samba so that only authenticated users on a domain can access shares?
[05:44] <vicente> blahla, how much memory do you have?
[05:44] <blahla> do i have to install gnome first? and ubuntu a mod of that?
[05:44] <blahla> its 512 ibm laptop
[05:45] <vicente> blahla,  you should be fine i think, try running memtest or check the cd for errors. ifyou haveless than 64mb of ram you might  have trouble installing
[05:45] <Zaggynl> Anyone knows how to install enet in Ubuntu?
[05:45] <Zaggynl> http://enet.bespin.org/
[05:45] <Zaggynl> I need it for mana world (repo version is outdated)
[05:45] <mbac> uhh
[05:45] <mbac> are you kidding me? making a mistake in /etc/sudoers makes it impossible to gain root?
[05:45] <blahla> ok is there a installer that i can use in windows that i could use?
[05:45] <mbac> i added a config directive to the end of /etc/sudoers and it refuses to run because i typo'd the name
[05:45] <mbac> so now i can't become root to fix it
[05:45] <mbac> hahaha
[05:45] <Zaggynl> mbac, sort of, try booting with a livecd, chroot your partition, and rechange the sudo file
[05:46] <vicente> blahla, no, but ifyou boot from the ubuntu edgy cd then it does all the installing fairly easy through the use of a nice interface

[05:46] <mbac> yeah yeah, it's just obnoxious that there's no root account that i can su - to
[05:46] <Pici> mbac: Try booting into the recovery console to fix it
[05:46] <blahla> hrmm ok ill try n download another copy and reburn it ... thanks for the assist =D
[05:46] <Zaggynl> np. g;
[05:47] <Vigo_> I go install or something now, I thank you kindly
[05:47] <mbac> do all of the other graphical tools consult the /etc/sudoers file to do privilege escalation?
[05:47] <vicente> mbac, i have never trusted sudo because its such a big piece of crap. i usually shh in and su to the root account. or sudo su if i dont feel like typing root password
[05:48] <vicente> mbac, did you back up the file before you edited it? or can you create another account to sudo from
[05:48] <mbac> uhm, i'm a powerless user if sudo is broken and i can't escalate to root
[05:48] <mbac> time to boot init=/bin/bash
[05:48] <Orfeous> got some problems while compiling oddcastv2
[05:49] <Orfeous> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9253/
[05:49] <mbac> i'm commenting more on the ridiculity of the situation more than i'm asking for help ;)
[05:50] <vicente> Orfeous, is this a default i386 compile you're doing?
[05:51] <Orfeous> vicente, yes
[05:51] <brian007> heee
[05:51] <brian007> go to
[05:51] <Orfeous> vicente, downloaded oddcastv2 source and did a ./configure and then make.. after a while that error happened.
[05:51] <brian007> http://gamepro.websitemaker.nl/gamepro
[05:51] <vicente> Orfeous, it seems that the 2.5 version of wxWindows might be broken, is there a way to try wxWindows 2.4?
[05:51] <brian007> http://gamepro.websitemaker.nl/gamepro
[05:51] <brian007> http://gamepro.websitemaker.nl/gamepro
[05:51] <brian007> http://gamepro.websitemaker.nl/gamepro
[05:51] <Orfeous> vicente, maybe but i dont know how :P
[05:52] <vicente> Orfeous, oh hold on lemme see if i can find it
[05:52] <Aw0L> so, any help with ubuntu-server + active directory?
[05:53] <lonran> anyone with edgy 64 and flash player 9 can tell me how to install it?
[05:53] <Kaso> what would be the "correct" way to specify a http_proxy for apt and various other console apps.
[05:53] <vicente> Orfeous, there is libwxgtk2.4-1 in the repositories that you can try
[05:53] <predaeus_> lonran: I think we are still stuck with flash7
[05:53] <optik`> hey, installed ubuntu-server onto a box earlier to use as a webserver and for some reason on the network you can browse to it via hostname but not IP and no im not using the wrong IP because i am ssh'ing at the same time
[05:54] <predaeus_> lonran: for native 64bit flash apps that is.
[05:54] <lonran> predaeus_, is there a version for 64? great i didint know, i dont mind the version, just need flashpl
[05:54] <vicente> optik`, there might be a problem with your hosts file
[05:54] <goom> Anyone use rdesktop 1.5 with seamlessRDP?
[05:54] <MasterK> is 1GB transfer rate possible yet over networks of ethernet?
[05:55] <optik`> on my local machine or the server vicente?
[05:55] <cefx> 1GB/s ? ethernet? no
[05:55] <MasterK> hmm... firewire?
[05:55] <cefx> MasterK: fiber optics or dark fiber networks yes?
[05:55] <MasterK> oh ok
[05:55] <Orfeous> vicente, thank you.. im gonna try
[05:55] <goom> MasterK: Gigabyte GB gigabit Gb
[05:55] <vicente> optik`,  on the server
[05:55] <MasterK> byte
[05:55] <predaeus_> lonran: oh well nevermind, I am talking rubbish here sry. gotta eat something. I think there is no official player for 64bit at all. But you can get firefox running as a 32bit app on amd64 and install flash with 32bit there. But in general I think there is not even flash9 for 32bit for linux yet.
[05:55] <Orfeous> vicente, but its allready installed
[05:55] <optik`> vicente: what might be wrong with it?
[05:56] <cuacurie> Hello.  Anyone have time to answer a few newbie questions?
[05:56] <Dr_willis> cuacurie,  we can always point you to the right places to start reading. :)
[05:56] <Orfeous> vicente, maybe i must declare in configurescript where the 2.4-libs are..
[05:56] <vicente> optik`, you are using a normal end user router right? are you trying to reach the site throught he LAN ip address or by the exterior ip address
[05:56] <Orfeous> instead of the 2.6..
[05:57] <dromer> how can I play .flv-files ?
[05:57] <vicente> Orfeous, yeah that might be what is wrong, i just saw someone say that 2.5 was broken and that 2.4 compile worked
[05:57] <optik`> by the lan ip address
[05:57] <aloon> when installing a nvidia video card , do you have to change xorg.conf fron "nv"  to "nvidia" ?
[05:57] <cefx> MasterK: internet2 and ca*net4 have been using speeds of 10GB/s for awhile now
[05:57] <optik`> e.g. the hostname is vle and you can browse to it that way
[05:57] <vicente> aloon, yes its a good idea to do that
[05:57] <optik`> but browsing to 10.11.4.2 doesnt work
[05:57] <cefx> they're experimental networks, and we have a dark fiber network locally to, that can reach those speeds
[05:57] <dromer> aloon: depends on which drivers you want, the nvidea drivers are pretty good i think
[05:57] <aloon> thx vincete
[05:58] <vicente> optik`, can you ping that address from the client computer, or do a telnet into the webserver port of it?
[05:58] <sivik> aloon: yes
[05:58] <optik`> yeah i can ssh and ping 10.11.4.2
[05:58] <optik`> but not actually browse to it
[05:58] <optik`> i havent tried telnet'ing
[05:59] <cuacurie> Dr_willis, I have tried the live CD version of ubuntu.   I would like to try it now as a dual boot on my existing windows XP latop.  Is there an intaller that will automate this to some extent? )
[05:59] <Orfeous> vicente, strange.
[05:59] <vicente> Orfeous,  what is that?
[05:59] <Dr_willis> cuacurie,  the normal installers can resize the ntfs partition and install to the hard drive i belive. so yes.. thats now its designed to work. :)
[05:59] <Dr_willis> cuacurie,  be sure you are using the latest livecd. not the older ones.
[06:00] <Dr_willis> I think the live cd can resize ntfs.. anyone verify that?
[06:00] <ernst> what is the lspci command for usb?
[06:00] <Dr_willis> ernst, lsusb :)
[06:00] <ernst> lol ok
[06:00] <jshriver> good morning
[06:00] <ernst> thnks
[06:01] <jshriver> I'm having problems with fetchmail. I'm using it to make a backup of all of my gmail emails.
[06:01] <jshriver> But it seems to only grab about 10% of them.. I used the -a cli argument
[06:01] <jshriver> any tips?
[06:01] <MrSHiat> hi all. Anyone try connecting to a sonicwall vpn with ubuntu? had much luck?
[06:01] <cuacurie> Dr_willis, Should I be using version 6?  I read on another site the 7 is the latest version, but i don't see that on the ubuntu website
[06:01] <aloon> can anyone tell me the name of the right package to apt-get for nvidia drivers?
[06:01] <jshriver> MrSHiat: I am in the process of doing that now
[06:01] <Owner_> can someone give me some pointers on reconfiguring my network? please I cant get my sever talking with ipcop but if I plug it into the inhouse network we are all good I get a light to come on
[06:01] <vicente> jshriver, in the gmail settings have you told it to do pop3 forwarding of ALL email or just new ones?
[06:02] <aloon> is nvidia-glx   right?
[06:02] <jshriver> MrSHiat: I just use firefox to load the IP of he SonicWall and login that way.
[06:02] <SoulChild> Hey, how can i found all installed packages that are not included in ubuntu-minmal meta-package... ???
[06:02] <jshriver> vicente: good question I'll check online
[06:02] <Dr_willis> cuacurie,  you proberly want to be sure to be using the 'edgy eft' version..   thats 6.10 I think.  the OLD livecd's had no installer.
[06:02] <vicente> aloon, yes i think it is go to www.ubuntuguide.org for exact instructions
[06:02] <defrysk> !info df > defrysk
[06:02] <Orfeous> vicente, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9255/
[06:02] <optik`> vicente what can i do to my hosts file then
[06:03] <MrSHiat> jshriver: what sonicwall vpn do you have? i didn't know you could obtain an ip address that way
[06:03] <cuacurie> Dr_willis, Gotcha )  thanks for your input
[06:03] <MasterK> i loved the old live cds
[06:03] <Dr_willis> cuacurie,  backup, scandisk, and defrag your windows drive befor doing that install.
[06:04] <SoulChild> Hey Guys, how can i find all installed packages that are not included in the  ubuntu-minmal meta-package... ???
[06:04] <kleftisx> what do i have to install in ubuntu so i can write code like Borland C++ 6 ????
[06:04] <jshriver> MrSHiat: well the sonicwall router sits on an IP .. just load that in a browser it'll ask for your username/password.. then it'll pop up a window saying "You are logged in you have 480minutes remaining" or x minutes
[06:04] <jshriver> kleftisx: gcc g++
[06:04] <mbac> kleftisx, you should probably install eclipse
[06:04] <Dr_willis> kleftisx,  you mean write "C++" code?
[06:05] <mbac> because it's so aewsome
[06:05] <mbac> eclipse and a plugin for C++
[06:05] <jshriver> thought eclipse was just for java
[06:05] <watchme> Hi.. I've a question about feisty and compiz....
[06:05] <MrSHiat> jshriver: Oh.. i actually have a sonicwall firewall with vpn.. so it doesn't work that way, I wish it did though
[06:05] <kleftisx> Dr_willis : yes c++ and c code
[06:05] <kmaynard> watchme, join #ubuntu+1
[06:05] <jshriver> MrSHiat: we have a VPN here as well on the sonicwall router. At least that's hwo I connect to the VPN and subsequent servers
[06:05] <vicente> optik`, 192.168.0.6   www.example.com example.com should read the line of the client computer i believe to resolve the hostname to an ip address
[06:06] <jshriver> MrSHiat: but as far as I know there isn't a client of sorts like there is for windows
[06:06] <optik`> so in my example 10.11.4.2 vle.....
[06:06] <optik`> hmmm
[06:06] <Dr_willis> !be
[06:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about be - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:06] <optik`> but why would that affect it
[06:06] <jshriver> MrSHiat: then again I also have a static IP, so I dont have to use the VPN client just to get on the network for an IP
[06:06] <Dr_willis> !b-e

[06:06] <SoulChild> Hey Guys, how can i find all installed packages that are not included in the  ubuntu-minmal meta-package... ???
[06:06] <xelados> Is there a way to force NumLock to be active when gdm starts?
[06:07] <xelados> SoulChild: Perhaps the ubuntu-standard package?
[06:07] <Dr_willis> kleftisx,  install the 'build-essential' package and it will pull in all the needed minimal C and C++ and other compilers/libs/tools...
[06:07] <MrSHiat> jshriver: oh I am tryihng to connect remotelky
[06:07] <MrSHiat> remotely even
[06:07] <Dr_willis> kleftisx,  if you want fancier IDE tools.. well theres several to use.
[06:07] <kleftisx> Dr_willis : how to instal the build essential package from console?
[06:08] <kleftisx> Dr_willis : ok i found it
[06:08] <Orfeous> vicente, did you look?
[06:08] <SoulChild> xelados: i think u didn't understand :S
[06:08] <dballester> hi to all
[06:08] <dballester> I'm trying to install ubuntu-server arch amd64/em64T into one Dell Poweredge 860 ( http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/pedge_860?c=us&cs=04&l=en&s=bsd ) by now is the second time that install cd ( 2 different burns ) claims that  libiw28 packages is corrupt
[06:08] <xelados> SoulChild: I'm welcome to try to understand and help. :)
[06:08] <vicente> Orfeous, sorry i missed it, reading now
[06:08] <dballester> md5sum for the iso image is correct
[06:08] <Dr_willis> kleftisx,  reading up on the 'apt-get' system is another thing thats well worth doing. :)  'sudo apt-get install whatever'
[06:09] <vicente> Orfeous, you know that oddcastv2 is not being developed any more right?
[06:10] <SoulChild> xelados: i want to see all installed packages except that ones, that are included in ubuntu-minmal meta package
[06:10] <xelados> hmm
[06:10] <SoulChild> understood ?
[06:10] <Orfeous> vicente, yes i know! i have tried oddcastv3 but i cant get it working with jack.
[06:10] <Orfeous> it has no gui either
[06:10] <xelados> Yeah, I get it now.
[06:10] <vicente> Orfeous, ok hold on lemme replicate the error you have going on :)
[06:10] <xelados> Sounds pretty nifty, actually. Does apt-get have any sort of selective listing like that?
[06:11] <killown> help -me I am try start xawtv but I get erro /dev/video0 not found
[06:11] <killown> how I do to create /dev/video0?
[06:11] <cefx> xelados: there's an additional package that lets you search and use something like apt://
[06:11] <cefx> etc
[06:11] <Orfeous> vicente, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9253/
[06:12] <killown> how I do to create /dev/video0?
[06:15] <dimych> killown: I don't know the answer, but google shows a lot on "create /dev/video0" query
[06:15] <ekimus> hmm any reason why  a file in /etc/cron.hourly/ doesn't run? when i create an entry in /etc/crontab to run it it just works (filename ist gen_data.cron.sh)
[06:15] <vicente> Orfeous, what i did just now was got the list of packages described here http://www.oddsock.org/tools/oddcastv2_xmms/ and also those packages ending in dev or devel as it requested
[06:16] <vicente> Orfeous, If you are installing RPM versions of these packages, then you will also need the "devel" version of ALL the above pacakges (i.e. libvorbis-devel, lame-devel, etc...)
[06:16] <vicente> Orfeous, i know you aren't installing from rpm, but it might be our problem
[06:17] <Dr_willis> killown,  i would say load the proper modules for your card and it should show up
[06:17] <bigjohnto> anyone here know how to use solaris?
[06:17] <killown> Dr_willis, i do it
[06:18] <optik`> vicente, any idea why it would be something to do with the server's hosts file?
[06:18] <c0ol> Hello
[06:19] <vicente> optik`, the host file allows a computer to resolv an ip address from a host name so i thought it might have been something messed up there. it could also be a firewall or a router acting up although i dont think it is. its worth a shot to check though
[06:19] <optik`> i might try setting it back to dhcp tomorrow and see if i can browse to it then
[06:19] <optik`> just in case i got something wrong there
[06:20] <eck> killown: if you need to you can use mknod, but that is not the proper solution
[06:20] <eck> killown: the best way is to let udev take care of it
[06:20] <killown> certo!
[06:20] <killown> thanks
[06:21] <Vaalth> hey, where can i get the latest ati drivers?
[06:22] <noodles12> i cannot burn a program with k3b. i looked in permissions for my cdrom and its read only. I think i should change that to write only but i can't access that without being root. I am not sure how to sudo nautilus and then access permissions for cdrom.
[06:22] <SoulChild> Hey Guys, how can i find all installed packages (with synaptic or terminal) that are not included in the "gnome-core" meta-package?
[06:22] <Vaalth> the default "ati" driver that comes with ubuntu doesnt work for me
[06:22] <vicente> Orfeous, i got it
[06:22] <Vaalth> i had to use the fglrx driver to get x to start
[06:22] <c0ol> I am trying to setup TwinView using my dell 2407WFP as my primary screen and my Samsung SyncMaster 173P as my secondary.  I have read many threads on this topic but it always seems to show login on the samsung and nothing on the dell.  I read the log for Xorg and it says that my virtual screen is set to 1280x1024 when it should be 3200x1280.  Is there a way to force this?
[06:22] <vicente> Orfeous, do you have gtk2.+ installed? the site says it wont work with gtk2.0+ so that may be our problem
[06:22] <quiet> vaalth, if all else fails.. vesa is usually a safe bet... temporarily
[06:23] <Vaalth> quiet : why temorarily?
[06:23] <quiet> no accelleration or anything.
[06:23] <Defdef> Hello, I am trying to install Ubuntu 6.10 in Microsoft Virtual PC 2007, and the installation seems to hang and become unresponsive, does anyone know why?
[06:23] <SimonW> does anyone know a sane way of running more than one Apache 2 instance on an ubuntu server?
[06:23] <quiet> but it 'works'
[06:23] <Vaalth> ah
[06:23] <Vaalth> well im trying to play opengl games :(
[06:24] <savvas> when will ubuntu release a newer version of gnome-system-tools? i still have 2.15.5 and as i'm told 2.16.x is more stable
[06:25] <lonran> predaeus_, ii found the solution for the flash player: nspluginwrapper for the 32bit flash 9 plugin and it works with firefox 64
[06:25] <Defdef>  Hello, I am trying to install Ubuntu 6.10 in Microsoft Virtual PC 2007, and the installation seems to hang and become unresponsive, does anyone know why?
[06:25] <noodles12> what isthe command to see all the devices attached? fdisk -l ?
[06:25] <kbd> mplayer32: error while loading shared libraries: libgnutls.so.13: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[06:25] <kbd> ls -l /usr/lib/libgnutls.so.13lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2007-02-26 04:01 /usr/lib/libgnutls.so.13 -> libgnutls.so.13.0.5
[06:25] <kbd> so wtf?
[06:25] <kylequamme> Defdef: probably cuz it's microsoft VPC
[06:25] <kbd> I don't get it... this is a head scratcher
[06:25] <Defdef> lol, ok. what should i use as an alternative?
[06:26] <kylequamme> vmware
[06:26] <eck> SoulChild: i would use apt-cache and aptitude and then a creative use of grep and cut
[06:26] <quaal> what ubuntu program should i use to rip a dvd?
[06:26] <chip0wa> acid rip
[06:26] <kylequamme> Defdef: vmware
[06:26] <eck> SoulChild: you can get all the dependencies of a package with apt-cache depends
[06:26] <kbd> quaal: acid rip, dvdrip, gnome-baker
[06:26] <quaal> chip0wa, thanks
[06:26] <dyrne> Defdef: i had to do something with hyperthreading i think when i installed on vpc a while back. maybe noht will work in kernel line of grub. thats not what i did but it might work
[06:26] <SoulChild> eck: ahh that helps a lot thanks
[06:26] <eck> SoulChild: and you can find installed packages by doing an aptitude search and then grepping for ^i
[06:27] <savvas> noodles12: try gksudo gparted
[06:27] <riaal> Something is wrong whit my wireless network card.. Wifi radar detects a lot of networks but I can press "Connect" there is just a "Disconnect" buton.. when I press disconnect nothing happens =S
[06:27] <eck> there is probably a better solution :-\
[06:27] <savvas> noodles12: you'll need gparted (gnome partition manager) for that
[06:27] <SoulChild> eck: thanks ,... but how that the whole command look now , i am not that good in grep and cut ...
[06:27] <noodles12> sawas: i mean. i want to know what my dvd-rw is listed as. like /dev/dvdrw or /dev/dvd1 .
[06:28] <Defdef> kylequamme: what version of vmware is right for what i am trying to do? (install a virtual ubuntu on windows xp pro) is it vmware player?
[06:28] <eck> SoulChild: so this is all the packages you have installed: aptitude search ".*" | grep ^i
[06:28] <savvas> noodles12: dir /dev/?d*
[06:29] <eck> SoulChild: and then if you cut the second column you get the package names
[06:29] <SoulChild> eck thanks
[06:29] <eck> i think you need to be more creative to parse the output of apt-cache but it is similar in principle
[06:29] <savvas> noodles12: it's probably /dev/hdb but i'm not sure how many drives/disks you have
[06:29] <Orfeous> vicente, yes i have gtk2 installed.
[06:29] <riaal> I can't connect to my wireless network, spent 2h getting the right driver. lol kismet works but I can't connect to my whit wifiradar?? =(
[06:29] <Viro> Hey, if I wanna patch my dapper to a newer release like Edgy, what do I hafta do ? :)

[06:30] <thian[gone] > Hi how do I change my ip proxy from the Firefox thats in Ubuntu 6.06 ?
[06:30] <vicente> Orfeous, if wxwindows compiles in ubuntu with gtk2.0 support then it breaks oddcastv2 because oddcastv2 only supports gtk1.2
[06:30] <savvas> noodles12: you want to access the cdrom files? then cd /cdrom/
[06:31] <wabek> hi
[06:31] <noodles12> sawas: thank you
[06:31] <Orfeous> vicente, stupid program ;)
[06:31] <vicente> Orfeous, i know, and to recompile wxwindows with gtk1.2 support only would be bass ackwards
[06:31] <Orfeous> vicente, maybe its possible to specify where gtk1.2 libs are installed ;)
[06:31] <savvas> noodles12: the path /cdrom/ goes for all types, dvd or cd :)
[06:32] <Orfeous> vicente, ok... oddcastv3 is working BUT i cant get jack work with xxmms.. etc..
[06:32] <Orfeous> vicente, please try it
[06:32] <vleon> what is the command to install kde without swiching with the gnome (i want both kde and gnome on my comp)

[06:36] <savvas> Rep0rter: edit -> preferences -> advanced -> network -> settings

[06:39] <clouder> Has anyone else had a problem where Blender open way to wide? I'm using MergeFB 1600x1200-1024x768 ati opensource driver on a Radeon9000pro
[06:39] <Dr_willis> riaal,  you may want to check the wiki/forums for your specific card. there may be some tips/howtos given there
[06:39] <nixnoob> hey why doesnt my ipod mount properly when i plug it in?
[06:39] <bahr> Can someone tell me how I switch my locale from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 or ISO-8859-15?
[06:39] <Dr_willis> clouder,  using 2 monitors?
[06:39] <clouder> yeah
[06:39] <Dr_willis> clouder,  some programs are just STUPID. :)
[06:40] <Dr_willis> clouder,  they dont proplery get the display info and just open over both monitors.
[06:40] <piedoggie> found the answer to my questions about automatic updates:http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_dapper#How_to_automatically_update_Ubuntu
[06:40] <mikeconcepts> when I try apt-get install nvidia-glx it say can't fetch from http://albertomilone.com...
[06:40] <Dr_willis> blender is one of those progams thats always been a little weird.
[06:40] <clouder> oh alright, it's not that big of a deal just a annoying for 10 seconds ;D
[06:40] <mikeconcepts> what should be in sources.list for nvidia-glx
[06:40] <quaal> chip0wa, hmm acidrip seems to make .avi files
[06:41] <riaal> Can someone please help me? Need to install drivers I just downloaded
[06:41] <quaal> i want to rip the dvd, leaving it in .vob format
[06:41] <savvas> piedoggie: sudo apt-get update | sudo apt-get -y upgrade
[06:41] <Dr_willis> clouder,  vmware does the same thing for me.. and it makes fullscreen mode unuseable.
[06:41] <Dr_willis> quaal,  access the dvd drive and copy the files over? :)
[06:41] <savvas> oh it has that ;p
[06:41] <quaal> Dr_willis, hmm does it work like that ?
[06:41] <savvas> piedoggie: you might wanna watch it with dist-upgrade, that should be done manually
[06:41] <Dr_willis> quaal,  if you want 4+GB files for a video that could be converted to avi at 1/2  the size... yes.
[06:42] <riaal> how do I check what kernel I have?
[06:42] <piedoggie> yes, I was just looking at that and I think I wouldn't want to do a dist upgrade automatically
[06:42] <quaal> Dr_willis, wow i didnt know that
[06:42] <quaal> thanks
[06:42] <Dr_willis> quaal,  of course you may need vlc to play the files. or some other players and the decess stuff
[06:43] <vicente> Orfeous, im still here, trying to get all this set up, do you have oss support or alsa?
[06:43] <quaal> Dr_willis, yes i have vlc
[06:43] <piedoggie> savvas
[06:43] <quaal> best player out there
[06:43] <riaal> please? how to check kernel version?
[06:43] <mikeconcepts> deb http://www.albertomilone.com/drivers/edgy/latest/32bit binary/ was not in my sources.list
[06:43] <Dr_willis> riaal,  uname -a
[06:43] <riaal> thanks
[06:43] <mikeconcepts> that must be the problem
[06:43] <Dr_willis> riaal,  shows thecurrently in use kernel
[06:43] <Rep0rter> Btw how do i copy some files to my windoes Drive like fat32 or NTFS. The drive is mounted and i can explore them but i cannot copy anything to the drive i can only copy from the drive
[06:44] <piedoggie> savvas: dist upgrade drags in the latest distribution upgrade?
[06:44] <Dr_willis> Rep0rter,  you mean to say the drive is "READ ONLY" ?
[06:44] <Rep0rter> Dr_willis:  I"m guessing it is.
[06:44] <savvas> piedoggie: yes, i think only when it's ready
[06:45] <Dr_willis> Rep0rter,  fat32 is eaiallymade writeable.. ntfs takes more work
[06:45] <Dr_willis> !fat32
[06:45] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - See also !fuse
[06:45] <Rep0rter> Dapper automatically mount the Drive to my desktop dont know about the Attributes
[06:45] <Dr_willis> !ntfs-3g
[06:45] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution. Installation instructions at http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710 (Dapper) and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009/ (Edgy)
[06:45] <Rep0rter> okhay how about the Fat32 ?
[06:45] <Dr_willis> Rep0rter,  well you need to determine if its fat32 or ntfs.   a

[06:46] <Viro> hm when I run gksu "update-manager -c", nothing happens... asks me for the Root passwd and nothing
[06:46] <Dr_willis> for fat32 you just need to be sure the proper uid/umask and other options are set in the fstab file
[06:46] <Rep0rter> Dr_willis:  Is there an easy way ?
[06:47] <Dr_willis> Rep0rter,  i find it ratehr easy to edit the fstab file as needed.
[06:47] <davidfetter> yello
[06:47] <Dr_willis> Rep0rter,  of course ive read the various mount docs and so forth. so i understand whats going on.
[06:47] <Dr_willis> http://wiki.linux-ntfs.org/ - is a 'must' read.
[06:47] <Dr_willis> it has a lot of very good core/fundamental info
[06:47] <davidfetter> i'm looking for a way to install a couple of different versions of postgresql on 6.10 desktop. what's the recommended way to do this?
[06:47] <Gorgapor> so, when doing "upgrade-manager -d", how important is it not to have any other programs running?
[06:47] <Viro> update-manager -c :)
[06:48] <riaal> Im following a readme and it says: "$cp rt2561.bin /etc/Wireless/RT61STA/	# copy firmware " but there is no Wireless folder??
[06:48] <Rep0rter> ok thanks
[06:48] <riaal> please? =S
[06:49] <pablo_> hi! ive installed egropuware but.. now? how do i configure it? i go to http://localhost/egroupware/setup and browser says "page not found" ive also tried http://localhost/apache2-default/egroupware/setup but i have the same problem! where should i ponint my browser so that i can acces egrpuware config? (apache is working)
[06:49] <Dr_willis> riaal,  make the directories then.
[06:49] <riaal> Dr_willis, that really make 0 sence to an X windows user. but okey
[06:50] <Dr_willis> riaal,  making a directory makes no sence? does 'make the folders' make better sence?
[06:50] <Crazytom> I can't get the permissions right for my ntfs partition.  only root can access it
[06:50] <b0ri5> I cannot install xserver-xgl in package manager. I get this:
[06:50] <b0ri5> xserver-xgl:

[06:50] <javb> Hi guys.. can someone tell my what is 'chroot' ? Reading about this and dont quiet understand (im trying to use Postfix at Ubuntu Server)
[06:50] <Dr_willis> Crazytom,  check out the following url...
[06:50] <Dr_willis> Defacto NTFS (and works for Vfat as well) guide for your Fstab/mounting of NTFS partitions -->  http://wiki.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?id=ntfs-en#how_do_i_mount_an_ntfs_volume
[06:51] <Gorgapor> javb, i don't understand it very deeply, but i know it's a way to have your system treat a different folder as /
[06:51] <b0ri5> How come I can't install xserver-glx?
[06:51] <riaal> Dr_willis, not what I ment, if the directory dosn't exist you f..ked (as I said, windows =) )
[06:51] <riaal> there is no way this can work ?? :S
[06:52] <Gorgapor> javb, you can use it to create a different system configuration that only applies when you run a program with chroot
[06:52] <riaal> Im following a readme and it says: "$cp rt2561.bin /etc/Wireless/RT61STA/	# copy firmware " but there is no Wireless folder??
[06:52] <b0ri5> Does anyone have ideas why I can't install xserver-glx?????
[06:52] <Symmetria> in its simplest form what Gorgapor said is correct, chroot changes the root of the system from a particular programs perspective
[06:52] <Dr_willis> riaal,  then make  them.  mkdir /path/to/the/folder
[06:52] <b0ri5> I get unmet dependencies] 
[06:52] <riaal> Dr_willis, well, okey... cheers
[06:52] <b0ri5> but those dependencies are not installable!??
[06:52] <Dr_willis> riaal,  it may bw worth your while to read some beginner console guide/docs. :)
[06:53] <b0ri5> Doesn't make any sense. What do I do?
[06:53] <Dr_willis> riaal,  im betting you will have a lot bigger issues soon. :)
[06:53] <bswift> My laptop doesn't boot, starting in recovery mode I get "/sbin/init: Accessing a corrupted shared library" and then a kernel panic. Any pointers in which direction to go ?
[06:53] <riaal> Dr_willis, I know how to make a directory =) just that I don't know what im doing messing whit the kernel
[06:53] <Dr_willis> riaal,  drivers are 'kernel' modules.
[06:53] <javb> Gorgapor, so is it a kind of profile of the system for a program  that needs the system with a conf different than the way it is in reality?
[06:53] <riaal> Dr_willis,  Think so?
[06:53] <Dr_willis> riaal,  im supprised the modulkes for that card are not included allready
[06:53] <Dr_willis> riaal,  what brand card was it exactly?
[06:54] <b0ri5> how do I install these unmet dependencies???
[06:54] <b0ri5> does anyone know?
[06:54] <Vaalth> hey, does anyone know how to add the ubuntuguide.org repositories? it tells me to in this guide but it doesnt say how
[06:54] <Dr_willis> b0ri5,  you still fighting with Beryl?
[06:54] <b0ri5> yes!
[06:54] <riaal> Dr_willis, The strange thing is, it is supose to be.. And it works.. sometimes.. So before I trow the 4%&& card in the trash I tought installing the "real" drivers could help?
[06:54] <b0ri5> I've reverted ALL changes, and am doing it over again
[06:55] <Dr_willis> b0ri5,  just to give you a heads up - i installed the beryl stuff a week or so ago.. after fighting with it.. then it crashed constantly.....
[06:55] <b0ri5> so I shouldn't install it?
[06:55] <olrrai> hello
[06:55] <Dr_willis> b0ri5,  so ya know why i  KEEP SAYING .. dont mess with Beryl.
[06:55] <Dr_willis> :)
[06:55] <Vaalth> hey, anyone know how to add the ubuntuguide.org repositories? it tells me to in this guide but doesnt say how
[06:55] <b0ri5> fine, but those animation effects looked cool
[06:55] <Dr_willis> when feisty comes out - it may be much easier to setup.
[06:55] <Vaalth> im trying to get ventrilo working under wine
[06:56] <Dr_willis> b0ri5,  get a live cd' play with them till lyou reaize how useless they are.. then reboot. :)
[06:56] <riaal> Dr_willis, But, It  is a cNet card whit Ralink chip
[06:56] <chrx> hi...i am new to ubuntu....i was trying to install something and the disk got really full..then when trying to delete some big files i realised that i had to be root to delete....then i logged off and try to log on again but told me cant log on because disk is full...so now how can i delete some files to be able to log on again....
[06:56] <olrrai> anyone know how to make gdialog or zenity timeout?
[06:56] <Dr_willis> riaal, you are saying you boot up. the card works.. for a while, then stops? or some times you boot and it dont work at all.. THEN another reboot and it works?
[06:56] <Cnl_Delta> chrx, import the disk into another computer, and delete the files from there
[06:57] <ray_> I'm trying to add some gdesklets but I'm not sure what directory to drop the desklets in
[06:57] <javb> guys, how do i create a password to identifie  my nickname ?
[06:57] <savvas> Viro: did you find a way to upgrade?
[06:57] <Dr_willis> javb,  /msg nickserv help
[06:57] <Gorgapor> javb, you actually create a chroot folder somewhere with all the variant etc/ bin/ usr/ folders in it, then tell a program that THIS folder is /
[06:57] <Viro> savvas, no
[06:58] <savvas> Viro: download the edgy-alternative cdrom, it will be easier that way
[06:58] <Viro> savvas, when I type that gksu "update-manager -c" msg it just closes it ;)
[06:58] <vicente> Orfeous, what error are you getting with oddcastv3?
[06:58] <Viro> ahhh... allright :( ima get it
[06:58] <Gorgapor> javb, it also keeps the program from accessing anything outside of the chroot folder, because you can't cd .. from /
[06:59] <ray_> I can't figure out how to add desklets to the gdesklets shell
[06:59] <savvas> Viro: or just change the sources, you just tried the 1st of the 3 ways to install :P
[06:59] <riaal> Dr_willis, It always works when I just reboted, strange thing is. It goes to some kind of "lockdown" but kismet can monitor networks whit it "forever" but I can't connect to my own router =S
[06:59] <idel> hi all, I need help. How can I list files through subdirectories including path, "ls -R dir/*" doesn't work
[06:59] <b0ri5> I cannot install a superkaramba theme.
[06:59] <chrx> i have a dual boot with windows on same disk....can i delete linux files from windows to free space...
[06:59] <Viro> savvas :) ima try that
[06:59] <Dr_willis> riaal,  odd.....
[06:59] <javb> Thanks Gorgapor, so what would be the technical reason to make a program run as chroot..
[07:00] <Dr_willis> riaal,  may want to find the ra chipset/drivers homepage/forums - could be some driver bug thats being worked on for the next kernel.
[07:00] <riaal> Dr_willis,  just found something: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=132980
[07:00] <javb> i mean, why smtp server, in this case, Postfix in Ubuntu Server, must create another / system link?
[07:00] <Viro> btw, does anyone know what script is the latest that goes off after you log in to X Windows ? I tried /etc/kde3/kdm/Xsession  but that's not late enough :))
[07:00] <Gorgapor> glad to help
[07:01] <Gorgapor> with what limited knowledge i do have about linux (i'm still a bit new myself)
[07:01] <kleftisx> with what command i can compile C++ projects on ubuntu???
[07:01] <Dr_willis> gcc whatever.c
[07:01] <riaal> Dr_willis, lol......."(a) Do not use the "Networking" tool (network-admin). You will get a lock-up at boot time at the point where the network interfaces are bieng configured"
[07:01] <jrib> kleftisx: install build-essential, the command is  g++
[07:01] <ray_> what other NES emulators are there for ubuntu?
[07:01] <tremmor> how do I resize LVM physical partition? gparted doesn't know physical volumes ?!
[07:01] <Dr_willis> kleftisx,  may want to google for some basic C++ tutorials for linux.
[07:01] <Nalleman> Im about to install avant windows navigator using this guide.http://awn.wetpaint.com/page/SVN+Version+Installation, i got stuck on the "make" part. Make does nothing, shoul I install something else?
[07:02] <denis_on_ubuntu> question: i have an external hard drive that I loaded a bunch of files to. But when I installed Ubuntu it does not let me "write" to the drive - how do I gain read/write/execute access to my external HD???
[07:02] <kleftisx> jrib : i have installed build-essential and i have use g++ but it not regonize commands like "cout" "endl" e.t.c
[07:02] <Dr_willis> ray_,  theres some that may not be in the repos. will have to use the source. check that zophars domaine site for what ones exist.
[07:02] <ray_> ty
[07:02] <Dr_willis> denis_on_ubuntu,  ntfs drive?
[07:02] <jrib> kleftisx: pastebin your source code, the command you used, and the error output from that command
[07:02] <Gorgapor> denis_on_ubuntu, it's probably mounted with the wrong permissions
[07:02] <denis_on_ubuntu> hm - i'm a total noob here, so i dunno whether its ntfs or not
[07:02] <Gorgapor> denis_on_ubuntu, are you familiar with fstab?
[07:03] <denis_on_ubuntu> so how do i go about this?
[07:03] <denis_on_ubuntu> nope
[07:03] <denis_on_ubuntu> i'm really new to linux (2nd day on it)
[07:03] <Gorgapor> ok, run 'mount' to see what you have mounted
[07:03] <kleftisx> jrib : have a look http://cpp.sourceforge.net/?show=32679
[07:04] <Enverex> What is the current state of Biometrics in Linux?
[07:04] <denis_on_ubuntu>  -> /dev/sdb1 on /media/External Disk type ntfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=077,iocharset=utf8)
[07:04] <tonyyarusso> Enverex: "Varies".  The ThinkWiki has some info for fingerprint readers.
[07:04] <Peter77> hi, I'm getting a core 2 duo laptop, should I use 32-bit or 64-bit linux on it?
[07:04] <Gorgapor> yep ntfs
[07:05] <denis_on_ubuntu> ok so its ntfs
[07:05] <denis_on_ubuntu> what do i do now
[07:05] <denis_on_ubuntu> ? lol
[07:05] <jrib> Peter77: if you like multimedia, use 32bit
[07:05] <olrrai> exit
[07:05] <Peter77> won't films play in 64-bit?
[07:06] <Gorgapor> denis_on_ubuntu, i'm not an expert at this stuff, my policy has just been "use FAT32 if you need an external partition"
[07:06] <jrib> Peter77: flash isn't available on 64bit and getting some codecs like wmv is also cumbersome
[07:06] <Gorgapor> : (
[07:06] <Peter77> ahh so I should just stick with i686?
[07:06] <denis_on_ubuntu> hm - there HAS to be a way for me to give myself access to my dirve! even if its NTFS!!!!
[07:06] <denis_on_ubuntu> :(
[07:07] <b0ri5> when I run superkaramba, I get this: X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 166
[07:07] <sparrw> b0ri5: you should see that same error running any X app from the terminal
[07:07] <Gorgapor> well you can read by default
[07:07] <denis_on_ubuntu> yeah
[07:07] <denis_on_ubuntu> i can
[07:07] <denis_on_ubuntu> but that's not good enough
[07:07] <Gorgapor> yeah
[07:08] <b0ri5> sparrw: for example, I installed a theme, and got this:
[07:08] <b0ri5> Error reading file 39609-TempMon_AIO-0.3.theme from zip
[07:08] <b0ri5> Could not read config file.
[07:08] <b0ri5> X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3
[07:08] <ques> hi
[07:08] <jrib> Peter77: yeah.  You could always install both and just see if you think it's worth the extra trouble to get flash and such to work on 64-bit
[07:08] <Enverex> tonyyarusso, For any readers or just the ThinkPad one?
[07:08] <FarrisG> I've got a dapper box running gnome/gdm. I have a few gnome-terminals open with ssh sessions to another box running a long job. gdm has puked/hung, but the remote jobs are still running. Is there any way for me to restart gdm or recover without nuking those remote jobs? Too late to use screen
[07:08] <ques> What do the synchronous updates on mail queue mean in postfix?
[07:08] <Gorgapor> i'm without browser access right now, unfortunately, so i can't help research it
[07:08] <Gorgapor> but you should look at the forums
[07:08] <tonyyarusso> Enverex: It's for the thinkpad one, but I'm told a fair amount of the info applies generally too.
[07:08] <Orfeous> vicente, no error.. i just cant get jack working with it ;) and xmms
[07:08] <denis_on_ubuntu> I did
[07:08] <Gorgapor> or alternately create a FAT32 partition and copy everything to it
[07:09] <denis_on_ubuntu> can't find anything that's relevant to my situation
[07:09] <Gorgapor> darn
[07:09] <ScotF> I'm doing an install and it looks like the automatix2 web site is down. Does anyone know if this permanent?
[07:09] <jrib> kleftisx: how about the rest?
[07:09] <ques> What do the synchronous updates on mail queue mean when installing postfix in ubuntu
[07:09] <Peter77> can't I install both kernels?
[07:09] <visualnets> I need some help
[07:09] <sparrw> FarrisG: ssh into that other machine again, figure out how to take over the ssh session?
[07:09] <Gorgapor> denis_on_ubuntu, is it reasonable in your case to create a FAT32 partition?
[07:09] <kleftisx> jrib : what rest?
[07:09] <visualnets> hello all
[07:09] <jrib> !helpme | visualnets
[07:09] <ubotu> visualnets: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:09] <denis_on_ubuntu> i dont think so
[07:09] <Peter77> therefore letting me access my files using either?
[07:09] <denis_on_ubuntu> i have a LOT
[07:09] <denis_on_ubuntu> of stuff on the drive
[07:09] <denis_on_ubuntu> and i cant format it
[07:09] <jrib> kleftisx: pastebin your source code, the command you used, and the error output from that command
[07:09] <visualnets> jrib,hello
[07:09] <visualnets> thx for u
[07:10] <wick2o> hello
[07:10] <gumpish> is there a way to change the color of text in the console? (not xterm, I mean the ttys you get in ctrl-alt-F1-6)
[07:10] <visualnets> jrib,I am a fresher to use ubuntu
[07:10] <kane77> !ntfs | denis_on_ubuntu
[07:10] <ubotu> denis_on_ubuntu: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[07:10] <ques> What do the synchronous updates on mail queue mean when installing postfix in ubuntu
[07:10] <kane77> !ntfs-3g | denis_on_ubuntu
[07:10] <ubotu> denis_on_ubuntu: ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution. Installation instructions at http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710 (Dapper) and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009/ (Edgy)
[07:11] <kleftisx> jrib : i have use gcc -Wall -g hello.c -o hello and i just write void main(){ cout << "Hello World" << endl; }
[07:11] <kane77> !fuse | denis_on_ubuntu
[07:11] <ubotu> denis_on_ubuntu: Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing using fuse here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[07:11] <FarrisG> sparrw: Is there any way to do that if we haven't already screened that session?
[07:11] <visualnets> jrib,i am in bash now,i want login to gnome,but i do not know the command
[07:11] <wick2o> anyone here customize their own install cd with a different preseed or some such?  I follow the online guide and fix the ubuntu-keyring...and i also do a sudo find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 md5sum | sudo tee md5sum.txt to update the new hashes
[07:11] <denis_on_ubuntu> why is it unsafe?
[07:11] <kane77> denis_on_ubuntu, I recommend ntfs3g
[07:11] <wick2o> but when i try and install the debconf gives me errors and says these files that i modified are corrupt
[07:11] <wick2o> am i missing something stupid?
[07:11] <kane77> denis_on_ubuntu, it can mess up your stuff
[07:11] <soundray> gumpish: you can use ANSI escape codes
[07:11] <denis_on_ubuntu> :|
[07:11] <denis_on_ubuntu> i cant risk messup
[07:12] <visualnets> jrib,can u help me login to gnome
[07:12] <denis_on_ubuntu> ntfs3g?
[07:12] <Gorgapor> then transfering to FAT32 or ext3fs seems like a good option, seeing as how you really like your data : )
[07:12] <zumi> how can i change preferences of 3ddesktop?
[07:13] <kane77> denis_on_ubuntu, there has been extensive testing going on..
[07:13] <visualnets> hello all i need some help
[07:13] <zumi> how can i change preferences of 3ddesktop?
[07:13] <jrib> kleftisx: it should be: g++ foo.cc
[07:13] <kane77> zumi, man 3ddesktop
[07:13] <Gorgapor> visualnets, you can just outright ask a question :)
[07:13] <ScotF> zumi, do u have the red gem on your desktop or on the taskbar?
[07:13] <jrib> visualnets: how come the graphical login window didn't start?
[07:14] <gumpish> =/
[07:14] <ardchoille> When I insert a CD in the cd drive, which file is it that tells the system which mount point tt use when mounting that cd disk?
[07:14] <zumi> which red gem? you mean beryl?
[07:14] <kmaynard> ardchoille, /etc/fstab
[07:14] <ques> any postfix installation tutorials?
[07:14] <visualnets> jrib,yes when i power on my pc,boot to bash
[07:14] <ardchoille> kmaynard: Thank you :)
[07:14] <ScotF> yeah --
[07:14] <kmaynard> ardchoille, np
[07:15] <kane77> zumi, you meant like berryl?
[07:15] <jrib> visualnets: ok, is ubuntu-desktop installed?  use this command to find out:  apt-cache policy ubuntu-desktop
[07:15] <kane77> zumi, or the 3ddesktop package?
[07:15] <zumi> 3ddesktoppackage
[07:15] <visualnets> jrib,thx let's me try
[07:15] <soundray> gumpish: what?
[07:16] <sacater> zumi: having trouble with beryl?
[07:16] <infinito> does anyone a way to make exim not sending emails with "undisclosed recipients" as TO: ??
[07:16] <zumi> no, I just want to change preferences of 3ddesktop package
[07:16] <b0ri5> For some reason Ubuntu freezes randomly when I'm using FIrefox
[07:16] <b0ri5> I think Windows is more stable that Ubuntu
[07:16] <gumpish> I don't want to just add color to my prompt or something. I want EVERYTHING to be in green text instead of gray.
[07:16] <kmaynard> TROLL IN THE DUNGEON
[07:17] <kmaynard> crap, caps lock
[07:17] <Enverex> b0ri5, Depends on the app or if your hardware is defective
[07:17] <soundray> gumpish: so, use echo with the appropriate escape code
[07:17] <gumpish> :o
[07:17] <b0ri5> I had Firefox, Konversation, and terminal open when it completely froze.
[07:18] <SoulChild> hey guys : i habe this command that shows packages not included in gnome-core metapackage, how do i add ubunut-minmal to this command ? sudo aptitude search '!~RDepends:gnome-core ~i'
[07:18] <Enverex> b0ri5, So there's something wrong with your PC (hardware fault of some kind)
[07:18] <b0ri5> it responded to NOTHING. I had to unplug the computer. It happened twice already today.
[07:18] <Gorgapor> gumpish, are you talking about colors in gnome-terminal ?
[07:18] <soundray> b0ri5: since you're already convinced that Windows is more stable, why are you here?
[07:18] <Gorgapor> come on don't be mean soundray : )
[07:18] <b0ri5> Cause it sucks.
[07:18] <SoulChild> GUYS, i have this command that shows packages not included in gnome-core metapackage, how do i add ubuntu-minimal to this command ? sudo aptitude search '!~RDepends:gnome-core ~i'
[07:18] <gumpish> Gorgapor:  no, the tty1 - tty6....
[07:19] <Gorgapor> ok that
[07:19] <b0ri5> Ubuntu is much better, but I get weird problems.
[07:19] <kmaynard> b0ri5, are you being forced to use it?
[07:19] <Gorgapor> yeah maybe you can put an ANSI escape code in your bashrc
[07:19] <b0ri5> by myself
[07:19] <Gorgapor> never tried it, but it seems logical
[07:19] <genie> Quotation about Arabic characters , when I type Hello in Arabic three is a gaps between the "Haa" characters and "Laam"
[07:19] <kmaynard> just wondering who you should blame here...
[07:19] <DigitalNinja> I'm a gnome user. How do I install KDE with out breaking anything?
[07:19] <genie> any body know how to fix this?
[07:19] <soundray> Gorgapor: I'm just generally annoyed with people who think we'd like to listen to them slagging off Ubuntu, or, as the case may be, Windows.
[07:19] <genie> I have ubuntu 6.10
[07:19] <kmaynard> DigitalNinja, kubuntu-desktop
[07:19] <Gorgapor> i understand
[07:19] <jrib> !kde | DigitalNinja
[07:19] <Enverex> DigitalNinja, apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[07:19] <ubotu> DigitalNinja: KDE (http://kde.org) is the K Desktop Environment.

[07:20] <b0ri5> it couldn't be faulty hardware. This computer was a server for 6 months, running folding@home all the time. Didn't crash once.
[07:20] <Lr5> !remote
[07:20] <Gorgapor> genie, which input method are you using?
[07:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about remote - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:20] <Vaalth> hey, can anyone with ventrilo help me test it out?
[07:20] <Orfeous> vicente, how is it going?
[07:20] <genie> just wait
[07:20] <Vaalth> want to see if i got it working correctly under wine
[07:20] <genie> I will let you know
[07:20] <neighborlee> b0ri5, linux is perfect, what are you talking about ;)
[07:20] <Drake> hello
[07:20] <vicente> Orfeous, I GOT IT
[07:20] <b0ri5> I agree, just I have these random problems
[07:21] <vicente> Orfeous, HOT DAMN!!!!!!
[07:21] <genie> Default
[07:21] <SoulChild> GUYS, i have this command that shows packages not included in gnome-core metapackage, how do i add ubuntu-minimal to this command ? sudo aptitude search '!~RDepends:gnome-core ~i'
[07:21] <genie> I am using default
[07:21] <Orfeous> vicente, ;)
[07:21] <kmaynard> b0ri5, i had problems with bad RAM in the past...replaced it, all was well
[07:21] <jrib> SoulChild: what do you mean by "add ubuntu-minimal to this command"?
[07:21] <neighborlee> b0ri5, my issues were bad ram.
[07:21] <Drake> neighborlee: no linux is not perfect if it was nobody would develop things for it anymore
[07:21] <neighborlee> b0ri5, once fixed,,all my issues *( MOST of them ) went away I found
[07:22] <SoulChild> jrib: this command shows packages that are not in gnome-core, i also don't want to see the packages that are included in ubuntu-minmal
[07:22] <neighborlee> Drake, I was being a tad facetious ;00
[07:22] <soundray> trpr: all those that build-essential depends on.
[07:22] <EADG> Somebody know the command to hide joins/parts/quits in irssi? I can't find it in /set.
[07:22] <Drake> neighborlee: I know i was jocking also
[07:22] <vicente> Orfeous, the repositories have jackd and xmms-jack available grab those
[07:22] <neighborlee> Drake, lol
[07:22] <trpr> soundray: hrm. i am not sure what i am working with here. there are lots of calls to cout, etc, which are unrecognized
[07:22] <sacater> EADG, have you tried the irssi website or help
[07:23] <trpr> soundray: but it is very important i get this code to compile so i can get working on it :\
[07:23] <zumi> !users
[07:23] <ubotu> To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo
[07:23] <neighborlee> Drake, yeah your a jock alright ;) ( ill take your word on that LOL )
[07:23] <jrib> SoulChild: instead of "gnome-core", write "ubuntu-minimal"?  Is this what you mean?
[07:23] <Lr5> EADG: try #irssi
[07:23] <b0ri5> I'll memtest the RAM later. Could it be because of ESD?
[07:23] <trpr> soundray: but yeah, build-essential is definitely something i already have installed
[07:23] <SoulChild> jrib: no i don't want to see both meta-packages
[07:23] <Orfeous> vicente, allready installed
[07:23] <Drake> anyway i need some tryng to run a script and it give : bash: ./_setup: No such file or directory
[07:23] <EADG> sacater: I looked at a couple websites. Not at help though.
[07:23] <jrib> SoulChild: don't use sudo to search btw
[07:23] <grindar> does anyone know what directory azureus puts .torrents in by default?
[07:24] <SoulChild> hmm okay ... and what else ?
[07:24] <jrib> SoulChild: http://people.debian.org/~dburrows/aptitude-doc/en/ch02s03.html#searchBrokenType have you seen this?
[07:24] <sacater> EADG: always check the help :P
[07:24] <jrib> SoulChild: ignore the anchor
[07:24] <EADG> Lr5: will do.
[07:24] <SoulChild> what is anchor ?
[07:24] <SoulChild> jrib: ?
[07:24] <jrib> SoulChild: the #searchBrokenType thing
[07:24] <Drake>  i need some help trying to run a script and it give : bash: ./_setup: No such file or directory
[07:24] <zumi> !sudo
[07:24] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[07:25] <Drake> any idea
[07:25] <zumi> !gedit

[07:25] <Lr5> is there any way to "link" some windows so that if I click one, also the other pops up?
[07:25] <soundray> trpr: once your system has build-essential and dependencies, any remaining problems are down to the code you are compiling.
[07:25] <Helmi> anyone around with experiences regarding codepage/charset-problems using samba?
[07:25] <SoulChild> jrib i think u dind't understand me

[07:26] <genie> hello every body, I have problem with Arabic in Ubuntu 6.10; gaps occur between some characters in Arabic, example: Hello in Arabic

[07:26] <mirak> what is the necessary amount of disc space to hibernate ?
[07:26] <genie> any body know how to fix this?
[07:26] <kmaynard> genie, English :)
[07:26] <SoulChild> jrib: ahhh okay
[07:27] <genie> there is a gaps between characters
[07:27] <Vaalth> anyone with ventrilo able to connect to a server and help me test something?>
[07:27] <genie> it should be no gaps
[07:27] <Gorgapor> genie, i know that few people use arabic in ubuntu
[07:27] <SoulChild> jrib: i missed the reference ... thanks
[07:27] <jrib> SoulChild: I /think/ this would do it: aptitude search '!(~RDepends:gnome-core|~RDepends:ubuntu-minimal)~i'
[07:27] <Gorgapor> i've tried to get help with japanese and chinese input, and it's hard to find

[07:27] <mirak> what is the necessary amount of disc space to hibernate ?
[07:27] <Drake>  i need some help trying to run a script and it give : bash: ./_setup: No such file or directory
[07:27] <b0ri5> I cannot install any superkaramba theme. I get this msg:
[07:27] <b0ri5> Error reading file 53490-calgadget.theme from zip
[07:27] <b0ri5> Could not read config file.
[07:27] <soundray> mirak: your swap partition should be as big as your RAM. No extra space is needed outside swap.
[07:27] <wick2o> but when i try and install the debconf gives me errors and says these files that i modified are corrupt
[07:28] <wick2o> anyone here customize their own install cd with a different preseed or some such?  I follow the online guide and fix the ubuntu-keyring...and i also do a sudo find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 md5sum | sudo tee md5sum.txt to update the new hashes
[07:28] <dabbler> \quit
[07:28] <mirak> soundray: what ???
[07:28] <genie> I want to know this problem from font or input method?
[07:28] <Lr5> mirak: with no experience about that, I'd say you need same disk space than ram memory is used
[07:28] <mirak> soundray: how can it use the swap to hibernate ?
[07:28] <b0ri5> Does anyone have an idea why I get the error msg:
[07:28] <b0ri5> Error reading file 53490-calgadget.theme from zip
[07:28] <b0ri5> Could not read config file.
[07:28] <mirak> soundray: and only the swap by the way
[07:28] <wick2o> b0ri5: zip file is corrupt?
[07:28] <b0ri5> but it's the same for every theme?
[07:29] <Gorgapor> genie, well you could try different fonts and see if that changes the problem
[07:29] <genie> I do
[07:29] <soundray> mirak: extend me some courtesy and read up on your assumptions before you second-guess my advice.
[07:29] <wick2o> b0ri5: purhaps you have an older version and the file was zipped with a newer version?
[07:29] <genie> in fact I install all fonts from windows to linux
[07:29] <genie> no use
[07:29] <mbac> is there a way to disable the startup/login sounds?
[07:29] <genie> in windows working fine, but some gaps in linux
[07:30] <jrib> mbac: system > preferences > sounds
[07:30] <b0ri5> wick2o: am i installing themes correctly? I click on "New Stuff", download a random theme, and get the exact error msg with any theme.
[07:30] <mirak> soundray: it's already done. I can explain you why I think it's not accurate
[07:30] <xushi_> hi all
[07:30] <genie> hi
[07:30] <mbac> oh, i mean before logging in
[07:30] <wick2o> b0ri5: that i dont know...im more of a termial person
[07:30] <wick2o> i ssh into all my linux boxes
[07:30] <jrib> mbac: the drums?
[07:30] <mbac> yeah
[07:30] <jrib> mbac: system > administration > login window
[07:30] <xushi_> I can't for the life of me manage to boot ubuntu, kubuntu, or xubuntu on this old machine.. After choosing to boot from the livecd, i get a blank page with blinking cursor on top right. I googled a lot but only found unanswerd questions or different problems
[07:30] <soundray> mbac: System-Admin-Login Window-Accessibility
[07:31] <mirak> soundray: where do you put the data from the swap then ?
[07:31] <b0ri5> how do u install superkaramba themes then?
[07:31] <mbac> haha
[07:31] <xushi_> my gfx card is a Geforce fx 5200 (128Mb)
[07:31] <soundray> mirak: go on then
[07:31] <wick2o> xushi_: i know what this is
[07:31] <wick2o> you need to boot from a windows 98 cd with cdrom support
[07:31] <soundray> mirak: I'm not here to answer rhetorical questions
[07:31] <xushi_> o_o
[07:31] <wick2o> then goto /boot/linux and run linux.bat
[07:31] <ysop> hi can anyone help me to find my wine-directory ? i can open it in console in my home dir, but i cant see it in nautilus...
[07:31] <soundray> mirak: swap is hardly needed when the machine is suspended.
[07:31] <Lr5> Is there any method I could use the screen on my other laptop's (ubuntu 6.06 there, 6.10 here) screen as one of this computer?
[07:31] <Gorgapor> locate wine
[07:31] <wick2o> it has something to do with isolinux or something....i get that problem from time to time with old computers
[07:31] <Lr5> ysop: ctrl+h
[07:31] <jrib> ysop: it's ~/.wine  so nautilus won't show it unless you "show hidden directories"
[07:31] <xushi_> that's .. weird. but at least it's a shot =)
[07:32] <kleftisx> hello im trying to write a program in C++ under ubuntu but when i go to compile it i get so many errors. what else except gcc i can use to run the program???
[07:32] <xushi_> hmm, if i don't have a win98 bootable cd, what should i do ?
[07:32] <mbac> haha, silly people
[07:32] <jrib> kleftisx: did you try what I said?
[07:32] <mbac> i meant that i'm at the login prompt and want to stop the sound from playing so i don't disturb the office
[07:32] <mirak> soundray: the data in swap are not necessarily just performance cache, there can be data in it
[07:32] <wick2o> xushi_: download an image online...goto bootdisks.com or something
[07:32] <mbac> oh well, fuck it, let them suffer one more time
[07:32] <kleftisx> jrib : yes

[07:33] <ubotu> ScotF: 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.

[07:48] <NaPsTeR_> it ses i must specify the filesystem type. how?
[07:49] <wick2o> NaPsTeR_:  using the -t option

[07:53] <HymnToLife> Defdef, then you need to have an existing VM to "play" it, google might help you to find one
[07:53] <wick2o> is the drive ntfs or fat32?
[07:53] <MarkCh> Defdef, go download VMware server. it lets you make vmx files easily.
[07:53] <soundray> Exal|away: why don't you just try it and come back if you have problems.
[07:54] <HymnToLife> you can also install vmware server, which will let you create one yourself
[07:54] <MarkCh> or you could search for an ubuntu 6.10 vmx in google
[07:54] <soundray> Exal|away: use the menus: System-Administration-Printing.
[07:54] <NaPsTeR_> i dunno
[07:54] <Exal|away> soundray: the problem is when I try to install a printer cups ask for a passwd, I type the passwd of the user which have sudo privileges but doesn't work
[07:55] <rbil> Defdef: better still ... go here and create one ... http://www.easyvmx.com/
[07:55] <wick2o> NaPsTeR_: well, you kinda need to know that...if its ntfs then your really only ever gonna get read only permissions
[07:55] <soundray> Exal|away: are you logged in as the user who has sudo privileges?
[07:55] <Exal|away> soundray: yes
[07:55] <NaPsTeR_> i think it is ntfs
[07:55] <NaPsTeR_> how can i get a fat32?
[07:56] <wick2o> you have to format the drive as fat32
[07:56] <wick2o> which means loose everything you have on the harddrive
[07:56] <wick2o> lose
[07:56] <wick2o> looose
[07:56] <soundray> Exal|away: which version of ubuntu is this?
[07:56] <NaPsTeR_> there is nothing on it
[07:56] <MarkCh> win
[07:56] <NaPsTeR_> how can i do it
[07:56] <NaPsTeR_> its a new drive

[08:00] <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
[08:01] <soundray> techie_: the topic of #bash also has very useful information

[08:01] <jrib> SoulChild: in what way?
[08:02] <lightenup> Has anyone had any success mounting and using microsoft DFS shares?
[08:02] <soundray> techie_: it's another IRC channel. Try /join #bash
i remembered you told me about this before and when I checked the #bash room hardly anybody there was talking!
[08:02] <soundray> techie_: I said read the topic
i will try them again.... thanks
[08:02] <SoulChild> i habe problem writing the command ... cause it uses OR but there need to be AND between the meta-packages
[08:02] <Exal|away> soundray: is still asking for a passwd but doesnt work
[08:02] <lightenup> I can mount my DFS root...but its contents do not show up on ubuntu
[08:02] <kelsin> techie_: once you are in #bash type /topic and look up some of the tutorials listed there
[08:02] <Selaiah> How do i copy something frmo my desktop to  a root-owned folder? :D
[08:02] <jrib> SoulChild: aptitude search '!(~RDepends:gnome-core|~RDepends:ubuntu-minimal)~i'  seems to work here, what makes you think it doesn't?

[08:03] <EdgEy> jrib, apt-get install sun-java6-plugin

[08:05] <jrib> EdgEy: sure why not.  I was just curious if it had ever worked, I don't really know what's going on atm
Are there books written on this bash shell. I imagine you could probably do "everything" once you know the commands!!!
[08:05] <EdgEy> jrib, i think it did
[08:05] <Terrasque> techie_: you could try reading http://www.linuxcommand.org/
[08:05] <soundray> Exal|away: people here are always coming and going -- please ask again in an hour or so. Eventually you'll find someone who can help.
[08:05] <rbil> techie_: here's an interesting read ... an old standard ... http://rute.2038bug.com/rute.html.gz

[08:05] <techie_> rbil thanks.
[08:05] <mbac> does Add/Remove Applications have a package that installs a full C/C++ toolchain or do I have to go through the apt-get install libstd-devel, etc.?
[08:05] <kelsin> techie_: yes, you should look at the tutorials listed in the /topic of the #bash channel. There are also ploenty of books. The run I recomend is an O'Reilly book about bash
[08:06] <kelsin> mbac: the build-essential package does that

[08:21] <Lr5> that is what I mean

[08:22] <soundray> Terrasque: I've only ever had such problems with pre-release versions of Ubuntu.

[08:22] <Pici> MojoWork: I'm not sure what to tell you, I'm sure that theres some information in the dpkg man pages, but I'm not sure what you need
[08:22] <Bostonguy> SOundray: would I just use XP to do a repair install?
[08:22] <usd> thanks!
[08:23] <EdgEy> jrib, when using galeon, i get an error in terminal
[08:23] <PocketIRC> soundray: ok as I said before but..backwards then :)
[08:23] <jrib> EdgEy: what error?
[08:23] <Lr5> Anyone ever used Xdmx?
[08:23] <EdgEy> jrib, VM did not start up properly
[08:23] <knoppix> hello
[08:23] <knoppix> wazzup?
[08:23] <MojoWork> Pici: yeah thanks anyway. it's not that important ;)
[08:23] <EdgEy> jrib, Could not start JavaVM!
[08:23] <Lr5> I'm having trouble getting it to work
[08:23] <soundray> PocketIRC: so, you do 'sudo apt-get install ssh' on edgy, then you can puttyssh to it by giving it the edgy machine's IP address
[08:23] <Lr5> (Fatal Error) dmx: dmxOpenDisplay: Unable to open display 192.168.0.107:0
[08:23] <HiP_P> hmmmm https:// sites aint working anymore ....weird
[08:23] <jrib> EdgEy: k at least that's progress...  google for the exact error string.  If nothing useful turns up, ping me again
[08:23] <Pici> Bostonguy: If you can get to the windows recovery console, you'll want to use the command `fixmbr` that will restore things to the windows bootloader
[08:24] <jrib> ardchoille: hey, do you happen to be Ardchoille2 on the forums?
[08:24] <soundray> Bostonguy: you won't want to, anyway. The grub installation will discover your WIndows installation and offer a boot option for it.
[08:24] <PocketIRC> soundray: dont they have to be in the same network for that?
[08:24] <AlteredBeast> i need a bit of help getting my mysql visible
[08:24] <soundray> Bostonguy: failing that, you can configure this from ubuntu.
[08:24] <Bostonguy> Pici: Thanks! I was thinking of the fdisk option to fix the mbr, but didnt notice until now that X doesnt even have fdisk (at least not on the system I'm using right now at work)
[08:24] <AlteredBeast> i have msyql installed and mysqladmin works with localhost
[08:25] <AlteredBeast> but when I try to connect with mysqladmin from another machine
[08:25] <soundray> PocketIRC: yes, generally computers have to be in the same network if you want them to communicate ;)
[08:25] <AlteredBeast> it immediately says it isn't available
[08:25] <AlteredBeast> seems like a firewall issue, but ubuntu doesn't have firewall by default, right?
[08:25] <soundray> PocketIRC: do you have a firewall or something between the machines?
[08:26] <PocketIRC> soundray: oh..but I have connected to a computer in another network from home once..how did that work?
[08:26] <Thorac> any ideas about running installation problem on ubuntu 6.10
[08:26] <PocketIRC> soundray:no firewall
[08:26] <soundray> AlteredBeast: you have to edit /etc/mysql/my.cnf to enable network access to your mysql server
[08:26] <soundray> AlteredBeast: the lamp page has more info:
[08:26] <soundray> !lamp > AlteredBeast
[08:27] <AlteredBeast> great, thanks!
[08:27] <MojoWork> Pici: ah! figured it out. the repository has it in edgy-backports
[08:27] <ardchoille> jrib: Yes, that's me.
[08:27] <AlteredBeast> i just did a port scan and it seems ubuntu is running a firewall?
[08:27] <MojoWork> and i hadn't enabled that
[08:27] <cefx> !vhost
[08:27] <MojoWork> Pici: thanks man
[08:27] <cefx> !vhosts
[08:27] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about vhost - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:27] <cefx> damnit.
[08:27] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about vhosts - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:27] <AlteredBeast> but iptables doesn't seem to be up
[08:27] <AlteredBeast> ideas?
[08:27] <ardchoille> jrib: Actually, I am ardchoille42 on the forums and Ardchoille2 on the wiki and help docs.
[08:27] <soundray> AlteredBeast: iptables is a kernel component. It doesn't have to be "up"
[08:28] <soundray> !firewall > AlteredBeast
[08:28] <cefx> Does anyone know what I need to do on an Ubuntu box when I've registered a domain name, created the nameserver records, and all of that done?  When I try to use the hostname with my Ubuntu box, it defaults to the other hostname rather than the one I want it to use.
[08:28] <soundray> PocketIRC: how are your two machines connected to the internet?
[08:28] <AlteredBeast> but the init.d script isn't entered into any run level
[08:28] <jrib> ardchoille: may I /msg?
[08:28] <ardchoille> jrib: Sure.
[08:28] <PocketIRC> soundray : wlan
[08:28] <AlteredBeast> i'll check out the link, thanks!
[08:28] <cefx> Is it just /etc/hosts or something?
[08:28] <soundray> PocketIRC: are they both on the same router?
[08:29] <WaZ_> !es
[08:29] <ubotu> Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[08:29] <PocketIRC> soundray: No..when they are it works fine.
[08:29] <soundray> PocketIRC: what's the problem then?
[08:30] <Valroadie> !slap
[08:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about slap - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:30] <PocketIRC> soundray: I want to do the same thing from home where they are not on the same router
[08:30] <cefx> Anyone...? Do I just need to edit /etc/hosts to use a vhost if all the work is already done on the nameservers and on the domain name side?
[08:31] <soundray> PocketIRC: more detail please
[08:31] <kachehi> karina123
[08:32] <soundray> cefx: /etc/hostname
[08:32] <cefx> ok, what's hosts for?
[08:32] <thcmonkey> anyone tell me how to install amsn.96 ?
[08:32] <soundray> cefx: local name-to-IP lookup
[08:32] <mbac> cefx, why do you need to use /etc/hosts if the nameservers all have the appropriate entries?
[08:32] <[Jonne] > hosts allows you to override what's in the dns
[08:32] <PocketIRC> soundray: I want to reach my computer running ubuntu from another compueter running xp. The computers are miles away from eachother.
[08:32] <[Jonne] > add a line like this:
[08:33] <cefx> mbac: I have tried to use that hostname on irssi on this machine, and it defaults to another vhost.
[08:33] <[Jonne] > 127.0.0.1 www.microsoft.com
[08:33] <WaZ_> !pastebin >WaZ_
[08:33] <cefx> ok...
[08:33] <cefx> hmm
[08:33] <cefx> gonna try something else
[08:33] <[Jonne] > and whenever you go to microsoft.com, you'll end up on your own computer
[08:33] <mbac> cefx, are you trying to set up a vanity hostname?
[08:33] <cefx> there's already a nameserver record pointing at this ip
[08:33] <soundray> PocketIRC: you have said that already. I have asked for more detail. You're going to have to be a tad smarter about this.
[08:33] <raven3x7> hey guys im curious. is kvm virtualization fast enough to play 3d games with a virtualized version of Windows?
[08:33] <Verilium> Hi there.  DST-wise, I'm noticing the Canada/Eastern zone for example, seems fine, and 'll switch over on March 11th, but the EST5DST timezone on the other hand, still seems to be listing a change on april 1st?  Is this normal in any way?
[08:34] <cefx> mbac: I own a domain name.  I am using xname.org and pointing said domain name to the IP of a desktop I work at.
[08:34] <Enverex> raven3x7, Pretty sure 3D isn't supported yet
[08:34] <PocketIRC> soundray: : / what details do u want?
[08:34] <cefx> But it already has a hostname pointing to its ip, and when I try to use the domain name I registered, it does not allow me to do so.
[08:34] <soundray> PocketIRC: how are they connected to the internet?
[08:34] <SeanTater> I want to run a Linux distribution in a window (I don't want to restart, install, partition..), what is the best way to do that? (qemu?) Maybe a wiki page?
[08:34] <mbac> cefx, how are you using the domain name you registered?
[08:35] <cefx> mbac: xname.org
[08:35] <Enverex> SeanTater, Kinda defeats the purpose of Linux but you could use any VM
[08:35] <mbac> irssi -h?
[08:35] <cefx> yes.
[08:35] <cefx> irssi -h and tried --hostname= too
[08:35] <PocketIRC> soundray: wlan to a router..
[08:35] <raven3x7> Enverex, pitty. I hope its something that will be possible in the future though. Although because of intel macs we might actually see more OpenGl games again
[08:35] <mbac> cefx, what's the domain name?
[08:35] <soundray> PocketIRC: do you notice we're going around in circles?
[08:36] <cefx> partisansec.org
[08:36] <cheeseboy16> how do i get wireless to work on ubuntu?
[08:36] <PocketIRC> soundray: yeah..kind of felt that..
[08:36] <soundray> !wireless > cheeseboy16, read the private message from ubotu.
[08:36] <WaZ_> !wifi
[08:36] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[08:36] <zumi> !nforce
[08:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nforce - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:36] <lutrox> Whats this? I can not connect to irc.euirc.net on port 6667 oO
[08:36] <soundray> PocketIRC: so, are you going to give me the information I need in order to give you the help you want?
[08:37] <mbac> cefx, you see how host partisansec.org resolves to 129.173.67.118?
[08:37] <cefx> Yes
[08:37] <cefx> that's my machine
[08:37] <mbac> an irc server has no idea what your hostname is, what it does know is your ip
[08:37] <zumi> can you help me in query how to enable sound output?
[08:37] <cefx> Ok
[08:37] <mbac> so it reverse resolves your IP to Mblast.cs.Dal.Ca.
[08:37] <cefx> right
[08:37] <cefx> okay
[08:37] <cefx> makes sense.
[08:37] <soundray> !sound > zumi, read the private message from ubotu
[08:38] <PocketIRC> soundtray: I am trying :( don't think I really understand exactly what information you are looking for...
[08:38] <mbac> cefx, whoever owns that IP has to update the PTR record for it if you want reverse resolution to match the forward resolution of partisansec.org
[08:38] <cefx> For a v6 entry though, is Scope: Global or Scope:Link the one I want?
[08:38] <cefx> allright
[08:38] <zumi> thank you soundray!!!!
[08:38] <cefx> thanks :)
[08:38] <soundray> PocketIRC: how are the two machines connected to the internet?
[08:39] <mbac> cefx, so, the sys admin for dal.ca, most likely
[08:39] <cefx> yeah
[08:39] <cefx> I just needed to know that bit about the reverse/forward
[08:39] <mbac> they may or may not do it, depending on how nice they are ;)
[08:39] <cefx> thankya
[08:39] <PocketIRC> soundray: I want to say via wireless router but I guess you want something else...
[08:39] <soundray> PocketIRC: so what is it that doesn't work?
[08:40] <Dubstar_04> Anyone use mythtv?
[08:40] <soundray> Dubstar_04: no, I prefer vdr
[08:40] <Pici> PocketIRC: I've only been following your problem a little, but it sounds like you need for forward port 22 through your routers
[08:41] <Dubstar_04> Thats cool you maybe able to help
[08:41] <soundray> Dubstar_04: but this channel is off-topic for surveys.
[08:41] <HiP_P> ahhh sorry found it on the forums. laters all
[08:41] <PocketIRC> soundray: Hmm perhaps I should try to reformulate the question... Is there a way to control a computer with SSH over the internet, not local network?
[08:41] <kestaz> skype under wine ? isn't bad thing ?
[08:41] <HiP_P> skype has a debian  package
[08:41] <Dubstar_04> No i need help with a sound device changing at reboot
[08:41] <soundray> PocketIRC: yes. You have to give the ssh client the IP address of the remote machine (the one you want to control)
[08:42] <PocketIRC> Pici: Why 22?
[08:43] <soundray> Dubstar_04: I doubt I can help, but do describe the problem -- someone else might jump at it.
[08:43] <niekie> Anyone know what I need to apt-get to get a "base64" program that'll encode stuff in base64?
[08:43] <minttea> PocketIRC: that's the port that ssh uses
[08:43] <Drake>  i need some help trying to run a script and it give : bash: ./_setup: No such file or directory
[08:43] <PocketIRC> soundray: hm ok thanks
[08:44] <PocketIRC> minttea: Ok thanks
[08:45] <Drake> so anyidea?
[08:45] <Anohaakten> hey can someone help me with installing kiba-dock?
[08:45] <Anohaakten> I need to get the repositories for it
[08:46] <Anohaakten> anyone know?
[08:46] <sharperguy> is it possible to add additional custom emocations to gaim? (2.00beta6)
[08:46] <Drake> why when i try to run a script it give : bash: ./_setup: No such file or directory
[08:47] <PocketIRC> Anohaakten: think there is a howto at ubuntuforums.org
[08:47] <soundray> niekie: there is a perl tool in package fml. Package sharutils has uudecode/uuencode.
[08:47] <soundray> Drake: what is that setup for?
[08:48] <Drake> soundray: softimage XSI
[08:49] <soundray> Drake: where did you put the download -- is it on the desktop?
[08:49] <Drake> soundray: At first yes but after i put it in /var/tmp
[08:49] <Drake> soundray: but nothing changed
[08:50] <soundray> Drake: then you'll have to 'cd /var/tmp ; chmod 700 _setup ; ./_setup' (if _setup is really the name of the file)
[08:50] <Drake> I tun the same script on another Ubuntu ad it works fine
[08:50] <omglazers> Anyone here mind helping me edit the GRUB to direct to partitions properly?
[08:51] <Drake> soundray: actually it is 755
[08:51] <soundray> Drake: is that what it currently is, or are you correcting me?
[08:52] <Drake> soundray: is that what it currently is
[08:52] <Drake> soundray: i thing it should work no?
[08:52] <soundray> Drake: then you won't have to change it. Just leave out the chmod command

[08:54] <omglazers> Can anyone tell me how to mount my drives in the LiveCD boot of ubuntu? I can't fix something preventing my machine from booting
[08:55] <jrib> mbac: isn't gnash in the repositories?
[08:55] <dreamerdude> ignoreing your sarcasm, the dvd works fine on a dvd player
[08:55] <cberlo> Hi folks!  Playing around with PXE Grub today, trying to automate installs.  Anyone know of a way to set a variable based on IP address in grub?
[08:55] <mbac> jrib, i couldn't find it

[08:55] <jrib> mbac: you using edgy?
[08:55] <soundray> dreamerdude: seriously, have you tried another DVD? Something might have changed in your setup.
[08:55] <mbac> yeah
[08:55] <jrib> mbac: have you enabled universe?
[08:56] <roler> thanks guys
[08:56] <mbac> hahahahaha
[08:56] <dreamerdude> i tried another old one (human traffic) and it worked
[08:56] <_chill> hi #ubuntu !
[08:56] <mbac> i searched for it in Add/remove programs and since it wasn't there i didn't think to try apt-get install gnash
[08:56] <shof2k> hello _chill
[08:56] <Drake> soundray: always the same bash: ./_setup: No such file or directory
[08:56] <waspius> hey..i have installed all packaged for beryl..i followed http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Debian#Configure_xorg.conf...the top part i hope i am correct..not sure...and i need to add it to the session manager..how do i do that..and how do i check if i installed the right files?
[08:56] <_chill> I have a simple question ! When start the ubuntu project ? 2k3 or 2k4 ?
[08:57] <soundray> Drake: did you do the 'cd /var/tmp'?
[08:57] <jrib> mbac: yeah add/remove doesn't always list everything,  the synaptic frontend does
[08:57] <fatih> yardm edebilicek var m :S ?
[08:57] <mbac> jrib, hmm, that might be a useful feature to add
[08:57] <Drake> soundray:  yes of course
[08:57] <fatih> yardm edebilicek var m :S ?
[08:57] <soundray> Drake: is the _setup file there? Check with 'ls'
[08:58] <Pici> waspius: Any particular reason you are using the Debian install howto?
[08:58] <Drake> soundray:  yes of course
[08:58] <mbac> add/remove programs might want to just put a link at the end of the listing that says "171 packages not shown [more information...] "
[08:58] <waspius> Pici: i have debian installed
[08:58] <Drake> soundray: in fact i cannot understand
[08:58] <soundray> Drake: try 'bash _setup'
[08:59] <jrib> mbac: in the top right corner of add/remove do you have a drop down menu with "supported applications"?
[08:59] <fatih> yardm edebilicek var m :S ?
[08:59] <mbac> jrib, i have it "All available applications"
[08:59] <jrib> mbac: k, well just so you know, gnash shows up in feisty
[08:59] <waspius> Pici: any ideas?
[08:59] <Drake> soundray: _setup: _setup: cannot execute binary file
[09:00] <Pici> waspius: As you can see we are in the #ubuntu channel.  Unfortunatly, I dont have experience installing beryl under Debian.
[09:00] <R3M4X> hi all
[09:00] <waspius> Pici: ok..do u know though what i need to edit so i can have beryl as an option in window manager?
[09:01] <soundray> Drake: give me a minute
[09:01] <Pici> waspius: I'm guessing that its something in your gdm.conf file, but thats a geuss
[09:01] <mbac> jrib, is there a good reason not to show, say build-essential if someone keyword searches 'C compiler'?
[09:01] <luiX_> quit
[09:01] <Drake> soundray: ok
[09:01] <matej> is there something like gamespy in LINUX?
[09:01] <waspius> ok thanx
[09:01] <mbac> hmm, build-essential doesn't have the word compiler in the text blob

[09:05] <Judicata> My USB printer suddenly stopped working, after months of working great.  Shows up on dmesg and lsusb.  Any ideas?
[09:06] <napec> ello
[09:06] <Judicata> Btw, gnome-cups-add doesn't detect it.
[09:06] <soundray> Drake: same error if you run '/var/tmp/_setup'?

[09:07] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[09:07] <Drake> soundray: yes
[09:07] <vicente> im back
[09:07] <vicente> and better than ever
[09:07] <Drake> soundray: I tried with csh tcsh exec ..... always the same
[09:08] <Drake> soundray: I had . to PATH
[09:08] <soundray> Drake: have you still got the package? Is it called "XSI-6.0-linux.tar.gz"?
[09:08] <con-man> how do I change the player that firefox uses to play embedded videos
[09:08] <Drake> soundray:  yes i have
[09:08] <jrib> con-man: remove the one you don't want, install the one you want
[09:08] <soundray> Drake: are there any other files in that package?
[09:09] <Drake> soundray:  yes there are other files
[09:09] <soundray> Drake: have you put them all in /var/tmp, or just the _setup?
[09:10] <craigbass1976> I'm trying to run a shell script, which I can do fine in a terminal.  Now though, I want a desktop icon that I can double lick on.  I'm using 6.06 with GNOME.  I've made the icon, but all I see is a flash of a terminal.  The script has a read-p at the end (so I can see the script output) but I'm not prompted.  What gives?
[09:10] <crdlb> con-man, look in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins and remove the ones you don't want
[09:10] <mbac> hahah, i wonder why they ripped my name out of gnome-dictionary credits
[09:10] <|GaiJin|> anyone here running cedega under ubuntu Edgy... Having some questions about the 2D accelleration...
[09:10] <Drake> soundray:  I moved the tarball there and then I extracted it there
[09:10] <|GaiJin|> errr... 3d accell
[09:10] <Pici> craigbass1976: Make sure that the 'run in terminal' option in the icon properties is checked.
[09:10] <con-man> crdlb: now, is there a vlc plugin for firefox?
[09:11] <mbac> oh well
[09:11] <soundray> Drake: no errors during the extraction step?
[09:11] <con-man> wait
[09:11] <con-man> found it
[09:11] <crdlb> craigbass1976, put something at the end of the script that will stay open, such as "cat"
[09:11] <crdlb> con-man, personally I like the mplayerplug-in better than the vlc plugin
[09:11] <Drake> soundray: no error
[09:12] <craigbass1976> but the script (I'm checking for the thigns it should have done) isn't working either.
[09:13] <mbac> sun keeps saying they open sourced java, but i still haven't seen the full sun jvm/jdk appear in the official debian packages (i know it's available in non-free/multiverse/etc.)
[09:13] <mbac> i guess this means sun hasn't actually open sourced the entire thing?
[09:13] <soundray> Drake: did you use 'tar zxf XSI-6.0-linux.tar.gz' to extract?
[09:13] <vicente> anyone here have something really cool they like about ubuntu in particular that i should install
[09:13] <Drake> soundray: yes

[09:13] <con-man> damn, vlc cant play embedded wmv files in firefox
[09:14] <soundray> mbac: the process isn't complete yet
[09:14] <soundray> Drake: it should have created a directory /var/tmp/XSI-6.0-linux -- has it?
[09:15] <Rembane> How do I change keymap to one that gives me the swedish letters I want?
[09:15] <Botamis> Hello, I installed unbuntu and after the first restart the X server failed. How do I fix this?
[09:16] <soundray> Rembane: system-preferences-keyboard-layouts
[09:16] <Rembane> soundray: Console.
[09:16] <FunnyLookinHat> Botamis, in a console:    sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:16] <Rembane> soundray: Sorry for forgetting to mention that.
[09:16] <FunnyLookinHat> Guess what your values are as best you can
[09:16] <Botamis> ok i'll try that
[09:16] <soundray> Drake: hello?

[09:20] <Drake> soundray:  yesw it has created it
[09:20] <Drake> soundray: sorry it was the phone
[09:20] <soundray> Drake: what do you get from 'cd /var/tmp/XSI-6.0-linux ; ./setup'?
[09:21] <soundray> Rembane: got it?
[09:21] <Botamis> FunnyLookinHat: I've been going through these steps and now i'm back to the console..

[09:22] <kimmern>  Hey! I've got a new laptop with 2gb intel centrino duo, and 512mb nvidia geforce..my question is why minimize and maximize animations on windows arn't running smoothly? I have the newest nvidia drivers, and my laptop should be good enough to make this animations run smooth..any tips for us nvidia users?
[09:22] <FunnyLookinHat> Botamis, ouch.
[09:22] <GenieHost> run this command
[09:22] <GenieHost> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:22] <soundray> Drake: are you root?
[09:22] <Botamis> I've done that Genie
[09:22] <FunnyLookinHat> GenieHost, could you help Botamis     I have to run to class....
[09:22] <Drake> soundray: yes
[09:22] <Botamis> Bye funny
[09:22] <GenieHost> still not working?
[09:22] <FunnyLookinHat> Botamis, my guess is that you just picked a wrong value in there somewhere
[09:22] <Botamis> Correct
[09:22] <Botamis> probably
[09:22] <Botamis> cya man
[09:22] <Botamis> anyway genie
[09:22] <Botamis> this has worked once
[09:22] <GenieHost> select all default and should fix it for you

[09:23] <soundray> Drake: what do you get from 'ls /var/tmp/XSI-6.0-linux/_setup'?
[09:23] <Botamis> Genie: It failed once and then it worked the next time. I was able to install beryl and then when I went to restart it failed again.

[09:25] <denis_on_ubuntu> hey guys - question - i have NVIDIA card on my laptop, and the drivers seem to be installed, but even pressing "shut down" gives a "laggy" step by step transition of the "shut down fade" effect in the background. How do I get my Nvidia to work "cleanly"?
[09:25] <soundray> Drake: that's the problem. It will only work on i386, not on x64
[09:25] <Botamis> Genie: I went through what you said again and I'm back to console.
[09:25] <Drake> soundray:  but shoudn lt matter as i installed on a 64 gentoo
[09:25] <Botamis> Genie: now what?
[09:25] <Botamis> startx?
[09:26] <Botamis> Genie: It worked! Why though when it is starting it has problems with the background, it's staticy?
[09:26] <soundray> Drake: your 64bit gentoo will be a mixed installation with 32-bit libraries. You can try forcind 32bit libs on your system, but it's not recommended.

[09:27] <slippyr4> what is ubuntu server's preferred MTA?
[09:27] <gordonjcp> morpheusdreams: cd ~/Desktop/
[09:27] <morpheusdreams> thank you :)
[09:28] <gordonjcp> morpheusdreams: the "~" translates to /home/(your username)
[09:28] <Slart_> morpheusdreams: ~ is short for my home dir.. usually /home/username
[09:28] <slippyr4> morpheusdreams, as gordonjcp said, but note that ....
[09:28] <slippyr4> gah,gordonjcp said it quicker
[09:28] <gordonjcp> morpheusdreams: think of /home as being very roughly like C:/documentsandsettings/
[09:28] <Slart_> but with backslash... ;)
[09:28] <morpheusdreams> Thank you all for your responses!
[09:29] <morpheusdreams> heh
[09:29] <pauldaoust> ho boy. I'm stuck in 640x480 mode and getting claustrophobic. I haven't touched the xorg.conf file, haven't installed any new packages (or upgraded any old ones), or replaced any hardware. Any ideas?
[09:29] <pauldaoust> nVidia GeForce FX5200, analogue LCD panel, Ubuntu Dapper
[09:29] <Slart_> pauldaoust: that's why you have 640x480.. you have to touch all kinds of stuff to get it higher =)
[09:30] <gordonjcp> pauldaoust: did you install the real genuine nvidia-glx drivers?
[09:30] <Slart_> pauldaoust: or you meant it was higher yesterday and just got this way recently?
[09:30] <slvmchn> yeah do you get the nvidia splash screen when you boot?
[09:30] <pauldaoust> Slart_, gordonjcp: yep, using official closed-source drivers. Fine yesterday -- no changes made -- screwy today.
[09:30] <pauldaoust> slvmchn: yep, I get the nVidia logo -- in 640x480 :-)
[09:30] <slvmchn> ahhaha
[09:30] <EdgEy> ah, jrib, lib-x11-6 was the problem incase you are interested, Konqueror gives a more descriptive error message. i downgraded lib-x11-6 and it works fine.
[09:30] <crdlb> pauldaoust, please pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[09:30] <Slart_> hmm... doesn't usually do that.. without something happening
[09:30] <slvmchn> System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution?
[09:31] <slvmchn> once you get to the desktop
[09:31] <gumpish> Anyone know how to prevent the screen from blanking in tty1 through tty6? I tried setvesablank but it didn't help.

[09:31] <Cyrus25801> what is the channel for sme server
[09:31] <Slart_> ahem... so can anyone recommend a good general purpose IDE for writing pything, perl, c/c++ stuff.. mostly smaller programs
[09:32] <slippyr4> denis_on_ubuntu: glxinfo | grep direct says what?
[09:32] <gumpish> eclipse w00t
[09:32] <kane77> Slart_, hmm.. anjuta? eclipse?
[09:32] <vicente> does anyone else use a custom font in gnome-terminal?
[09:32] <Slart_> eclipse didn't work the last time I installed it.. neither did Anjuta
[09:32] <gumpish> ...
[09:32] <pauldaoust> slvmchn: only one mode available
[09:32] <Slart_> or I have to get versions from the official sites?
[09:32] <kane77> Slart_, no, what exactly didnt work?
[09:33] <pauldaoust> Slart_: gedit. I love it for developing. Ha!

[09:33] <omglazers> Anyone know anything about GRUB Error 17: 'Cannot Mount Selected partition' ? It seems to be unable to mount a simple ext3 partition and I have NO clue why. Help, please :(
[09:33] <Slart_> kane77: hold on.. I'll try again. .last time I got a splash screen I think.. and then nothing
[09:33] <crdlb> pauldaoust, please pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[09:33] <Slart_> pauldaoust: oh.. gedit isn't to bad, I use Scite text editor at the moment
[09:33] <pauldaoust> crdlb: working on it; pastebin is reallllly slow right now
[09:33] <crdlb> pauldaoust, use the ubuntu pastebin
[09:34] <slvmchn> pauldaoust: that's wierd, if you're getting the nvidia splash screen but only have one resolution, something's not right
[09:34] <slippyr4> omglazers, chances are it's trying to use a different partition to what you think it is
[09:34] <dyrne> omglazers: what does the partition show as hd0,0? or what
[09:34] <va1> Hey guys, while upgrading from dapper to edgy, I got a configure error for xfonts-intl-european ("usage error: unrecognized option"). Google didn't help me on this, any idea ?
[09:35] <pauldaoust> crdlb: found it. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9293/
[09:35] <va1> It's an error during the post-removal script
[09:35] <pauldaoust> crdlb: not sure if that's the Ubuntu pastebin you meant, but...
[09:35] <Slart_> hey.. why am I Slart_.. hmm.. ah.. 2 xchat windows open.. doh
[09:35] <omglazers> dyrne, slippyr4: The linux uses /dev/sda2, mapped as /hd2/ in the drivemap.. when I load grub, it gives me error 17 trying to boot to it. When I try to edit the root (hd2,0) command for it, the tab autocomplete shows as ,0) being the only accessable choice on hd2. All other hd2 choices just return error 22, no partition or something like that.
[09:35] <Slart> this is better
[09:35] <crdlb> pauldaoust, that's it (it's in the topic :) )
[09:35] <morpheusdreams> Argh i seem to suck at this. Am trying to install flash player but when navigating to the directory it says the directory doesnt exist?
[09:36] <pauldaoust> crdlb: dang. I shoulda read the topic :-S
[09:36] <Slart> morpheusdreams: case sensitive.. check your spelling
[09:36] <slippyr4> omglazers, how many other hard disks do you have?
[09:36] <Slart> morpheusdreams: /home/Slart isn't the same as /home/slart
[09:36] <morpheusdreams> yeah its all lower case :|
[09:36] <omglazers> slippyr4: 3 total; mapped as the first two under hd0 and hd1 when I last looked at the drivemap in grub
[09:37] <morpheusdreams> morpheusdreams@morpheusdreams:~/Desktop$ '/home/morpheusdreams/Desktop/install_flash_player_9_linux'
[09:37] <morpheusdreams> bash: /home/morpheusdreams/Desktop/install_flash_player_9_linux: is a directory
[09:37] <morpheusdreams> morpheusdreams@morpheusdreams:~/Desktop$ /home/morpheusdreams/Destop/install_flash_player_9_linux
[09:37] <morpheusdreams> bash: /home/morpheusdreams/Destop/install_flash_player_9_linux: No such file or directory
[09:37] <morpheusdreams> see ;_;
[09:37] <Slart> morpheusdreams: destop?
[09:37] <morpheusdreams> crap :|
[09:37] <Slart> morpheusdreams: use tab to autocomplete directories
[09:37] <omglazers> slippyr4: I should note; the grub is installed in the first partition on the disk
[09:37] <slippyr4> omglazers: from grub's point of view, hard disks are numbered in bios order. that is basically boot order. therefore, your boot drive, sda2, is /probably/ hd0 from grub's point of view
[09:37] <doomnx> hello guys
[09:37] <morpheusdreams> Slart, thank you :)
[09:37] <doomnx> i'm here again
[09:38] <omglazers> slippyr4: I made a 50 meg partition, put it under /boot and put grub there rather than the MBR
[09:38] <omglazers> slippyr4: Ahhh
[09:38] <rickympl> i'm trying to get an identd to work in linux, i followed the following tutorial i found for my distro http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=227857&highlight=ident, but the identd won't start, it says starting, but doesnt
[09:38] <omglazers> slippyr4: So I should try renaming it hd0 if im booting to it first?
[09:38] <denis_on_ubuntu> slippyr ->
[09:38] <omglazers> slippyr4: =-O!!!!
[09:38] <omglazers> slippyr4: I think you did it!!!
[09:38] <omglazers> slippyr4: Thank you :D
[09:38] <omglazers> slippyr4: Damn grub :P
[09:38] <doomnx> if anyone remembers me, i'm here for the offline nvidia driver installation. what files do i have to download? i've just installed ubuntu, nothing else. please help me
[09:38] <omglazers> slippyr4: Score!!!
[09:39] <pauldaoust> crdlb: anything untoward? I did notice that the display device was recognised as CRT-0; I don't know if that means it wasn't detected properly through DPMS.... or what.
[09:39] <colbert> What is required for dual monitors to work? Do you have to have special kind of monitors or just any 2 monitors ??
[09:39] <omglazers> slippyr4: :D Thanks. I didnt realize it would change it like that. Should I just edit my grub's drivemap to make it hd0 from now on, or just change the acutal config file
[09:39] <pauldaoust> colbert: any old pair of monitors. However, you need a dual-head video card.
[09:39] <slippyr4> omglazers, no - just setup grub to use that drive, it'll still be sda2 from linux's point of view
[09:40] <pauldaoust> colbert: there are a lot of dual head cards out there; if you have one (rather than an onboard monitor port) you may very well have the appropriate hardware.
[09:40] <crdlb> pauldaoust, pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf for completeness
[09:40] <omglazers> slippyr4: Is that the 'setup' command ?
[09:40] <slippyr4> omglazers: enter grub console,
[09:40] <omglazers> slippyr4: Like, I would put under root, put setup (hd0) under the root?
[09:41] <VII> A really easy question, how do I style the top and bottom panel?
[09:41] <doomnx> any help would be greatly appreciated...
[09:41] <slippyr4> omglazers, root (hd0, and press tab  - what partitions are listed?
[09:41] <denis_on_ubuntu> .
[09:41] <omglazers> slippyr4: I already got it to work. Im in ubuntu.. 0, 2 and 4 were listed though. 0 was the proper place to boot to, and it worked fine
[09:41] <denis_on_ubuntu> SLIPPY ->  um, glxinfo | grep direct says "direct rendering: No"
[09:41] <omglazers> slippyr4: Im just wondering how to fix it in the future
[09:41] <pauldaoust> VII: right-click on an empty spot, then go 'Properties'. You should be able to change colour, transparency, size, etc.
[09:42] <colbert> so I have a ATI Radeon 9700 Pro, I must buy a new video card for 2 monitors ? That's the only way?
[09:42] <omglazers> slippyr4: How should I edit my grub so that this never happens again
[09:42] <VII> pauldaoust: thx!
[09:42] <pauldaoust> VII: no prob!
[09:42] <slippyr4> it won't happen again - nothing will change where grub is installed
[09:42] <pauldaoust> colbert: nope, a 9700 Pro should have two sockets
[09:42] <jk-> hi
[09:42] <slippyr4> i got to go now, glad it works for you
[09:42] <pauldaoust> colbert: so you should have the right stuff
[09:43] <pauldaoust> crdlb: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9294/
[09:43] <colbert> pauldaoust: Okay, so then I have 2 monitors, a samsung and NEC, do I just need a cable and what kind ?
[09:43] <Slart> ok.. eclipse doesn't start.. here's the log http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9295/
[09:43] <LadyNikon> evening
[09:43] <LadyNikon> anyone get office 2k7 running in ubuntu
[09:44] <LadyNikon> if you did was it wine or caldera?
[09:44] <pauldaoust> colbert: you just need a cable for each monitor, and plug them both into your video card. You may need a VGA to DVI adapter. And as for software... I've had nothing but headaches setting up drivers for ATI cards, even just with single-head, so I'll have to let someone else help you with the drivers.
[09:44] <colbert> wow its possible to get office2k7 going in ubuntu ?
[09:44] <LadyNikon> colbert: thats why i asked the question ;)
[09:45] <colbert> pauldaoust: lol, no prob, thanks though I didn't think I could but that's good news:)
[09:45] <colbert> LadyNikon: hehe, of course ;) Just a surprise to a noob like me
[09:45] <Xenguy> colbert: yeah, install virtualization, then run d0ze as a virtual machine where it belongs ;-)
[09:46] <LadyNikon> calavera: aah
[09:46] <crdlb> pauldaoust, you have two monitors?
[09:46] <LadyNikon> Xenguy: i dont wanna do a virtualization for office though
[09:46] <orange_> what happened to automatix site?
[09:47] <yomm> How can I get Xorg 7.2 on my Edgy ? compile ?
[09:47] <pauldaoust> crdlb: no; I did a while ago, but I don't anymore. It didn't seem to hurt to have the TwinView stuff in xorg.conf, even with only one monitor, so I left it in there.
[09:47] <colbert> Xenguy: What is virtualization? And I have made the whole switch to Ubuntu I am glad to say !
[09:47] <gnube> yomm did you check which version is available in Ubuntu?
[09:48] <yomm> gnube : current version is 7.1 i belive in Edgy
[09:48] <crdlb> pauldaoust, try commenting the twinview stuff out
[09:48] <gnube> yomm, If 7.2 is not available you have to download the source and compile it yourself
[09:48] <gnube> yomm, Are you trying to do beryl / compiz stuff?
[09:49] <frick> there's 7.2 howto with repos here
[09:49] <frick> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=373087
[09:49] <gnube> yomm, Or do you just want a different X server?
[09:49] <pauldaoust> LadyNikon: according to http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/group/?app_parent=1911 it looks like Office '07 hasn't been officially tested under Wine and Crossover Office, so it may not work yet.
[09:49] <yomm> gnube : I heard the i810 drivers are far better on 7.2
[09:49] <orange_> whats a good prog for monitoring network usage - similar to DUmeter
[09:49] <colbert> pauldaoust: So if I use my 2 monitors, will I see my desktop across both or will it work some other way? And is it a very complicated thing to do in Ubuntu?
[09:49] <Xenguy> colbert: like xen, vmware, virtualbox, qemu (plus kqemu accelerator) -- these kinds of software allow you to run (inferior) (non-free) OS's under linux, each in their own 'virtual machine' (like a bubble).  It helps if you have good hardware and lots of RAM :-)
[09:49] <LadyNikon> pauldaoust: :(
[09:49] <LadyNikon> dern it
[09:49] <yomm> gnube : and check out the new features :)
[09:49] <LadyNikon> thats what i get for having free copies of stuff
[09:49] <gnube> colbert, Do you have two graphic cards?
[09:49] <Xenguy> colbert: they run simultaneously with linux
[09:50] <fatih> yardm edecek biri yok mu
[09:50] <colbert> Xenguy: That sounds awesome.. I think I cannot though because I have only 1.2gb ram !
[09:50] <colbert> gnube: No I have one card, ATI Radeon 9700 Pro
[09:50] <frick> that's plenty
[09:51] <gnube> colbert, To have a dual-head system you need two graphic cards
[09:51] <PriceChild> gnube, No you don't
[09:51] <PriceChild> gnube, You could have a dual output card
[09:51] <pauldaoust> colbert: there are a couple different ways to do it. There's TwinView which stretches your desktop across both screens (and works with 3d acceleration), Xinerama, which is similar, but places windows and dialogue boxes in more sensible places (i.e., new windows aren't split between two screens), and just setting up two X servers, which is nifty, but you can't drag a window from one monitor to another.
[09:51] <gnube> PriceChild, True, but this is laborious and no one does it. :)
[09:51] <Xenguy> colbert: heh, I have half that RAM and VMware server works here :-)
[09:52] <colbert> pauldaoust: So I think TwinView is best way ?
[09:52] <frick> I did it. One card, two monitors. Well, one is a tv :P
[09:52] <yomm> gnube : it's actually quite easy setting up dula head
[09:52] <flafla> hello Everyone
[09:52] <AutoMatriX> hi folks ;)
[09:52] <PriceChild> gnube, for berylites its a lot easier having one dual head nvidia card ;)
[09:52] <colbert> flafla: Hello
[09:52] <XXX> T,FYENST
[09:52] <XXX> 
[09:52] <crdlb> gnube, actually practically every laptop has a dual head card (crt+lcd)
[09:52] <gnube> yomm PriceChild : Really? I didn't know that . . .
[09:52] <gnube> I though one had to have two graphic cards
[09:52] <XXX>  lOSHARA MI KANTARA
[09:53] <colbert> yes I am using Beryl XGL so I want to be able to see my one desktop across my 2 monitors.. so I assume it is not just plug n play in Ubuntu to do this ?
[09:53] <pauldaoust> gnube: I think it would be too laborious to have two cards; I think a dual-head card is much easier.
[09:53] <doomnx> cab anyone help me to install nvidia drivers on ubuntu offline? :(
[09:53] <XXX> 
[09:53] <gnube> pauldaoust, Really? Wow. I had no idea.
[09:53] <PriceChild> XXX, English only in here please...
[09:53] <flafla> I screwed up my totem player...  It always plays at like 1.5x speed,  anyone know how to undo this?
[09:53] <pauldaoust> colbert: not entirely. I don't konw the situation with ATI, but I do know it was difficult but not insane to set up with an nVidia card.
[09:53] <PriceChild> colbert, #ubuntu-effects really... and it won't be pretty :(
[09:53] <gnube> Does someone have a resource for getting two monitors to work with one card?

[09:54] <pauldaoust> gnube: yeah, it's pretty nifty. Then you can have accelerated Beryl on both desktops. It looks really cool when you rotate the cube.
[09:54] <flafla> yomm: sec
[09:55] <frick> just with beryl worked with two x servers...
[09:55] <frick> wish*
[09:55] <pauldaoust> crdlb: well, I've made the requisite changes to xorg.conf; I'm gonna restart my session.
[09:55] <pauldaoust> good bye folks!
[09:55] <gnube> pauldaoust, I can imagine! I have tried beryl, but I have not done the dual head thing since I thought I had to  have two graphic cards.
[09:55] <colbert> So if I have 2 monitors showing my desktop does the size of desktop increase or is it stretched at same resolution ?
[09:55] <_Johny> Have anyone of you ever used a soft called "Democracy Player" on Ubuntu?
[09:55] <crdlb> colbert, the resolution doubles
[09:55] <flafla> yomm: output plugins?
[09:55] <yomm> I am even remote controlling Beryl on my dual monitor setup , :p
[09:55] <Symmetria> colbert http://mirror.ac.za/temp/desktop.jpg
[09:55] <Symmetria> that should answer your question
[09:55] <Symmetria> (my desktop)
[09:55] <ParaPlayer> can somebody help me to change the resolution and the refreshrate of my ubuntu. atm the maximum seems to be 1024x768 @ 60 Hz. I'd like to have 1280x1024 @ 85 Hz instead. i know i have to edit the xorg.conf but i don't know how
[09:56] <colbert> crdlb: So my 1600x1200 would be 3200x2400 ?
[09:56] <yomm> flafla: what media player again ?
[09:56] <crdlb> colbert, 3200x1200
[09:56] <flafla> yomm: otem movie player
[09:56] <flafla> yomm: totem movie player
[09:56] <gnube> Symmetria, Nice, but please clean that coffee cup. :)
[09:56] <linuxx> "init: rc-default process (4208) terminate with status 127"
[09:56] <yomm> flafla : aren't their any preferences for soud ?
[09:56] <Symmetria> :p pfft, I'd had 10 cups of coffee that morning since I walked in in that cup
[09:56] <linuxx> what can I do to fix that?
[09:56] <yomm> *sound
[09:56] <_Johny> ParaPlayer: Try "dpkg reconfigure -phigh xorg-server.org
[09:57] <colbert> Symmetria: Wow that is awesome
[09:57] <leoely> hola
[09:57] <leoely> loco
[09:57] <Symmetria> heh thats my office desktop, I run similar at home, except at home Im now running 3 of them
[09:57] <flafla> yomm:  the problem is the video is running at 1.5x therefore there is no sound... I'm having issues with the video playing at 1.5x
[09:57] <Symmetria> same monitors though
[09:57] <Symmetria> because those monitors > *

[09:57] <cheeseboy> hi
[09:57] <jhonny> cuerdas de brujas
[09:57] <colbert> Symmetria: What video card do you use for that? Could I do that with Radeon 9700 Pro ?
[09:58] <yomm> flafla : ok i thought you ment the mp3's were playing too fast

[09:58] <cheeseboy> can anyone help me install belkin 54g usb 54g v3 adaptor drivers?
[09:58] <Symmetria> gnube err, heh, Im the Chief Technology Officer, people at my work do what I tell them to do :p
[09:58] <n-iCe> I can't with my printer :S
[09:58] <linuxx> what can I do when getting "init: rc-default process (4208) terminated with status 127" ???
[09:58] <_Johny> !xorg.conf | ParaPlayer
[09:58] <ubotu> ParaPlayer: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[09:58] <n-iCe> I need a really good hand :(
[09:58] <gnube> Symmetria, w00t!
[09:58] <flafla> I screwed up my totem player...  It always plays at like 1.5x speed,  anyone know how to undo this?
[09:58] <pauldaoust> crdlb: thanks; that worked like a charm! I have no idea why it caused problems out of the blue like that...
[09:59] <gnube> flafla, Click on the >> arrow, it will speed up. :)
[09:59] <Symmetria> heh gnube actuallly though, a lot of what we use is solaris based
[09:59] <colbert> I just saw the ATI page for my card it does support 2 separate monitors, awesome
[09:59] <Symmetria> (my personal preference for servers)
[09:59] <tomw> hola folks
[09:59] <gnube> Symmetria, Open Solaris or regular Solaris?
[09:59] <gordonjcp> is there an alternative to the nvidia-glx driver that comes with feisty?
[09:59] <flafla> gnube:  do you even know what you are talking about?
[09:59] <PriceChild> gordonjcp, You can use the open source "nv" driver
[09:59] <gnube> flafla, It depends. :)
[09:59] <Symmetria> gnube solaris 10, open solaris is just solaris 11, but its not stable enough for production yet
[09:59] <gordonjcp> PriceChild: yes, yes
[09:59] <tomw> can someone point me to documentation on how to change the application that launches when my machine auto mounts a DVD?
[09:59] <ParaPlayer> _Johny: if i type "dpkg reconfigure -phigh xorg-server.org" into the terminal it awaits an action-option (don't know whether this is right, got a german version)
[10:00] <Symmetria> gnube, heh http://mirror.ac.za <[10:00] <gordonjcp> PriceChild: one that actually works would be good though
[10:00] <crdlb> pauldaoust, generally the simpler a config file is, the better it will run :)
[10:00] <gnube> Symmetria, Lots of interesting stuff in Solaris, like ZFS
[10:00] <PriceChild> gordonjcp, what card do you have?
[10:00] <orange_> anyone know how to install automatix (site is down)
[10:00] <gordonjcp> PriceChild: I get a headache working at 640x480x60Hz
[10:00] <gordonjcp> PriceChild: GF4
[10:00] <PriceChild> !automatix | orange_
[10:00] <ubotu> orange_: 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
[10:00] <PriceChild> gordonjcp, Which card? that's a large range
[10:00] <cheeseboy> anyone
[10:00] <Symmetria> heh gnube well like I say, mirror.ac.za runs solaris (which hosts ftp.za.freebsd.org, za.archive.ubuntu.com, za.releases.ubuntu.com, etc etc)
[10:00] <pauldaoust> crdlb: you're probably right. I'm sure you noticed all the config bits I left in there, for all the different video cards and monitors I plug into it on occasion...
[10:00] <gordonjcp> PriceChild: no idea, just a generic Geforce 4
[10:00] <Symmetria> primarily for zfs and zones
[10:01] <orange_> !WorksForMe
[10:01] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[10:01] <gnube> Symmetria, Cool, you are mirroring MIT open course ware, lovely.
[10:01] <gordonjcp> PriceChild: the nvidia-glx package for feisty doesn't support cards that old
[10:01] <PriceChild> gordonjcp, nvidia-glx-legacy then... and #ubuntu+1 for feisty
[10:01] <gnube> Symmetria, .za is that Zimbabwe or South Africa?
[10:01] <PriceChild> gnube, "lspci | grep nvidia" should tell you what card btw
[10:01] <gnube> I should know that but I do not.
[10:01] <crdlb> pauldaoust, most of that config is not loaded because it is not referenced by the ServerLayout section, so those parts can be left alone
[10:02] <titus> Hello all, I'm upgrading dapper->edgy with apt right now. Is there anything I should especially know about?
[10:02] <gnube> PriceChild, Even if it is built into the motherboard?
[10:02] <gordonjcp> PriceChild: legacy doesn't support glx
[10:02] <PriceChild> !upgrade | titus
[10:02] <ubotu> titus: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[10:02] <gnube> titus, Edgy rocks.
[10:02] <PriceChild> titus, That's allt he important info :)
[10:02] <PriceChild> gordonjcp, It does...?
[10:02] <pauldaoust> crdlb: oh, that's good. I thought it loaded them, probed the hardware, etc even before it got to the ServerLayout section. Anyway, thanks again for the help, and now I've gotta start work!
[10:02] <orange_> PriceChild: Why does it take so long to boot after installing wifi drivers -- I did Alt+F1 to see where the errors occur if any during boot - it jus stalls really bad when scanning hd
[10:03] <PriceChild> gnube, gordonjcp actually the V in nVidia needs to be capital: lspci | grep nVidia
[10:03] <gnube> titus, Feisty is almost here, why don't you just wait for that?
[10:03] <PriceChild> gnube, you can't miss versions when upgrading
[10:03] <preaction> orange_: maybe you should actually wait for it to run?
[10:03] <LadyNikon> ok
[10:03] <LadyNikon> so here is the tricky question
[10:03] <PriceChild> orange_, I wouldn't know sorry.
[10:03] <gordonjcp> PriceChild: and in fact, it doesn't work anyway
[10:03] <gordonjcp> woo yay
[10:03] <gnube> PriceChild, Or really? wow. Another thing I should have known.
[10:03] <LadyNikon> i have a pantech cellular modem
[10:03] <gordonjcp> nice one ubuntu
[10:03] <titus> gnube: I don't especially want to be using the latest & greatest. I have waited til now to go for edgy
[10:03] <LadyNikon> anyone use that
[10:03] <PriceChild> gordonjcp, ?
[10:04] <tuxworld> hi , who can help me?
[10:04] <jrib> LadyNikon: that's an easy one, "yes"
[10:04] <Flannel> !ask | tuxworld
[10:04] <ubotu> tuxworld: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[10:04] <gnube> titus, Apparently to upgrade to Feisty you _have_ to have Edgy so go on and upgrade.
[10:04] <LadyNikon> jrib: works great?
[10:04] <pzmoma> LadyNikon, .... i kno you
[10:04] <tuxworld> who use ubuntu?
[10:04] <LadyNikon> pzmoma: i get around.. so i am not surprised
[10:04] <VII> hmhmh, where do I find the "gdmsetup tool"?
[10:04] <pzmoma> lol
[10:04] <sioux> feist is released?
[10:04] <pzmoma> 2600
[10:04] <gnube> tuxworld, This is the ubuntu channel so probably everyone here uses it.
[10:04] <pzmoma> mhz
[10:04] <jrib> LadyNikon: idk, I don't use it, I just mean you should ask a more specific question
[10:05] <gordonjcp> PriceChild: using nvidia-glx-legacy, it dies with the less-than-helpful message "Failed to load the nvidia module"
[10:05] <Xenguy> tuxworld: nobody uses that =)
[10:05] <PriceChild> gordonjcp, Is this on feisty?
[10:05] <titus> gnube: exactly - I don't want to be more than one version behind, but I don't want to use the blleding edge on my main pc
[10:05] <LadyNikon> jrib: well i was hoping my question would mean.. someone runs it in ubuntu
[10:05] <titus> ~bleeding
[10:05] <LadyNikon> but i guess not.
[10:05] <gnube> titus, But it is not dangerous. I think you will find it quite stable
[10:05] <gnube> titus, It is not like debian's sid
[10:06] <gnube> Rather, from what I understand, it is testing frozen
[10:06] <atomiku> okay
[10:06] <atomiku> so
[10:06] <gordonjcp> PriceChild: yes, but I'm about to flatten and reinstall Edgy
[10:06] <jrib> LadyNikon: http://samat.org/weblog/20070127-high-speed-cellular-wireless-modems-in-ubuntu-linux-6-10.html
[10:06] <titus> gnube: really? I read about lots of problems with X when edgy was new.
[10:06] <gnube> titus, New or in beta?
[10:06] <titus> gnube: New
[10:06] <gnube> the releases get released a little early so they can be tested.
[10:06] <tuxworld> i want to have 3GP convertor in ubuntu
[10:06] <NobodyExpectsThe> Hello everyone.
[10:07] <NobodyExpectsThe> I want to know how to bring up a terminal window in ubuntu.
[10:07] <leoely_> ruja
[10:07] <NobodyExpectsThe> Can someone tell me?
[10:07] <PriceChild> gordonjcp, remember feisty isn't released yet and has bugs. The majority of users are recommended to stick with released versions. If you head to +1 I'll try and help though
[10:07] <gnube> I had problems with X with the pre-releases but not otherwise.
[10:07] <leoely_> pelu es una bruja
[10:07] <NobodyExpectsThe> How does one bring up a terminal window using a hotkey?
[10:07] <gordonjcp> PriceChild: I'm in +1

[10:08] <titus> gnube: Fair enough - I am talking about rumour and doubt here, I don't know anyone who actually had the problems myself :-)
[10:08] <gnube> No1Viking, Something like what?
[10:08] <flafla> I screwed up my totem player...  It always plays at like 1.5x speed,  anyone know how to undo this?
[10:08] <gnube> NobodyExpectsThe, , Something like what?
[10:08] <NobodyExpectsThe> A hotkey to bring up the terminal.
[10:08] <NobodyExpectsThe> Like... CTL-ALT-T?
[10:08] <gnube> titus, I think when you try Edgy you will see it is really stable and just works.
[10:08] <LadyNikon> jrib: thanks i was on the evdoforums
[10:08] <jrib> NobodyExpectsThe: system > preferences > keyboard shortcuts
[10:09] <gnube> titus, That was my experience several months ago
[10:09] <NobodyExpectsThe> Isn't available on this restricted platform.
[10:09] <NobodyExpectsThe> Is there a built in command to bring up the terminal?
[10:09] <jrib> NobodyExpectsThe: what do you mean?
[10:09] <jrib> NobodyExpectsThe: 'gnome-terminal' is the command
[10:09] <gnube> NobodyExpectsThe, You have to assign keys to hotkeys
[10:09] <NobodyExpectsThe> So, I can't bring up the terminal if I don't have a terminal?
[10:09] <NobodyExpectsThe> Or any l inks?
[10:09] <gnube> jrib, You can't use the terminal to open a terminal if you do not have a terminal open?
[10:09] <morpheusdreams> Hi there, I have just tried to install flash player. It asks me to delete xpti.dat from my Mozilla folder. So i found it and deleted it and installed again. Logged out an logged in, still nothing. Any idea what i should do next?
[10:09] <alperyilmaz> didi anybody here succesfuly run ubuntu from flash drive (mine is 2GB) by creating ext2 and swap partitions
[10:10] <jrib> gnube: I was just answering his question :/
[10:10] <titus> gnube: for sure - I have been using on my laptop for a while - enjoying beryl/xgl too. Plus uptodate haskell packages
[10:10] <n-iCe> why my cpu do weird noises like the pc were working alot
[10:10] <gnube> morpheusdreams, Did you restart your browser?
[10:10] <n-iCe> with UBUNTU
[10:10] <NobodyExpectsThe> So suppose I was to go to a terminal screen by pressing CTL-ALT-F1
[10:10] <raven3x7> NobodyExpectsThe, can you right click on the desktop?
[10:10] <gnube> n-iCe, It is paging
[10:10] <NobodyExpectsThe> But it prompts me for a login.
[10:10] <jrib> NobodyExpectsThe: there is no default shortcut key, keyboard shortcuts are set using gconf though...
[10:10] <morpheusdreams> gnube: closed all browsers before installing
[10:10] <alperyilmaz> all instructions about usb install mention FAT and ext2 partitions
[10:10] <NobodyExpectsThe> What are the odds that root is enabled?
[10:10] <n-iCe> gnube what's paging ?
[10:10] <gnube> NobodyExpectsThe, 100%
[10:10] <raven3x7> NobodyExpectsThe, it wants yor username and pass
[10:11] <colbert> PriceChild: Xinerama is the one to go with for ATI cards for dual monitor ?
[10:11] <NobodyExpectsThe> Can't right-click on the desktop.
[10:11] <gnube> n-iCe, It is when the system swaps out pages to memory
[10:11] <kitsuneofdoom> I'm using gcc on ubuntu. I get errors when I try to use the pow function. I have #include<math.h> in the program at the top.
[10:11] <PriceChild> colbert, I'm not sure myself sorry... I think it is though yes.
[10:11] <kitsuneofdoom> gajendra.c:(.text+0xcc): undefined reference to `pow'
[10:11] <Grif3r> do anyone here use Window maker in Ubuntu 6.10?
[10:11] <raven3x7> gnube? isnt root disabled in ubuntu?
[10:11] <schasi> colbert: Xinerama ist the one for both cards
[10:11] <n-iCe> gnube but why with ubuntu always ?
[10:11] <jrib> NobodyExpectsThe: is this your system?
[10:11] <NobodyExpectsThe> Ok, so I don't have a username or pass and I want to log in.
[10:11] <NobodyExpectsThe> I have a graphical interface and that's it.
[10:11] <gnube> kitsuneofdoom, There could be a thousand things wrong, why do you think it is the OS at fault?
[10:11] <colbert> schasi: So I can use Beryl XGL just fine on 2 monitors with Xinerama?
[10:11] <NobodyExpectsThe> It's somewhat disabled but I want to get to the terminal.
[10:11] <schasi> colbert: the ati specifix is mergedfb or mergefb, the nvidia one twinview
[10:11] <NobodyExpectsThe> No hotkey exists by default?
[10:11] <Flannel> NobodyExpectsThe: er, if you don't have a username, or a password, you can't login.  That's a good thing.
[10:11] <jrib> NobodyExpectsThe: speak with the administrator
[10:11] <schasi> colbert: dunno, never tried Beryl. Just try it
[10:11] <gnube> n-iCe, I have no idea, what type of processor are you using?
[10:12] <n-iCe> gnube uhm, intel celeron? pentium 4
[10:12] <NobodyExpectsThe> Well, thanks guys.
[10:12] <n-iCe> Intel inside *
[10:12] <gnube> n-iCe, do this command: top
[10:12] <NobodyExpectsThe> I'll have to find some other way to carry out my plan of world domination.
[10:12] <gnube> what do you see?
[10:13] <titus> gnube: when I upgraded the laptop I made a point of starting with a disk. I am just scared of upgrading with apt, which is why I came here and asked :-) If it all goes well (including my ndis wireless drivers) I'll be back to celebrate. If not, I'll be back to beg for help :-)
[10:13] <n-iCe> gnube done, with top
[10:13] <gnube> raven3x7, Well in a way yes, but root always exists with any unix - like operating system
[10:13] <kitsuneofdoom> gnube: because the program works on Dev-C++, or so says my teacher.
[10:13] <gnube> titus, Gotcha! Better safe than sorry!
[10:13] <gnube> n-iCe, What does it say?
[10:13] <kitsuneofdoom> gnube: I tried compiling my teacher's sample
[10:14] <Grif3r> anyone? window maker?
[10:14] <n-iCe> A lot of things
[10:14] <n-iCe> !paste
[10:14] <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)
[10:14] <Flannel> gnube, raven3x7, the root user exists, but the root account is locked, there is no password that will be able to successfuly login as root.
[10:14] <gnube> kitsuneofdoom, So you are using a different compiler than you were instructed?
[10:14] <raven3x7> gnube, of course i just remember that you cant login as root
[10:14] <gnube> Flannel, That is what I said
[10:14] <colbert> schasi: When you install Xinerama, is it something that can be turned off/on or must it be uninstalled to stop it ?
[10:14] <raven3x7> Flannel, thats what i thought
[10:14] <gnube> raven3x7, You can if you do this: sudo passwd root <password>
[10:15] <Flannel> But there's absolutely no reason to
[10:15] <schasi> colbert: Xinerama is a feature that comes with your xorg X Server
[10:15] <kitsuneofdoom> gnube: dev-C++ is an IDE around gcc
[10:15] <raven3x7> gnube, yeah i know i was just talking about the default config
[10:15] <gnube> kitsuneofdoom, The issue though is the compiler no?
[10:15] <Agrajag> kitsuneofdoom: did you install build-essential, or just gcc?
[10:15] <schasi> colbert: I feel that there a some howtos and such in the ubuntu wikis and pages
[10:15] <colbert> ok I am searching
[10:15] <schasi> colbert: You might have to restart X for activating/deactivating ist
[10:15] <schasi> it
[10:16] <kitsuneofdoom> Agrajag: thanks, that's probably the problem. Nice name, btw.
[10:16] <n-iCe> gnube: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9304/
[10:16] <kestaz> what you think http://www.ipix.lt/view.php?img=1432_test.png.html ?
[10:16] <kitsuneofdoom> Agrajag: still has the error
[10:16] <gnube> n-iCe, Whatever Java process you are running is eating up your processor
[10:17] <Grif3r> I can't get .wmv files to play in wmaker or hear flash animations
[10:17] <maarten_> kitsuneofdoom: link with libm
[10:17] <gnube> n-iCe, Some kind of torrent tool?
[10:17] <n-iCe> ah ?
[10:17] <n-iCe> frostwire , could be ?
[10:17] <maarten_> kituneofdoom: add the flag -lm when linking
[10:17] <gnube> n-iCe, Kind of a high load average for a single user on a pentium 4
[10:17] <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?
[10:18] <gnube> n-iCe, Do this: ps aux | grep torr
[10:18] <n-iCe> why gnube ? what's the problem ?
[10:18] <gnube> n-iCe, No problem, just using your processor to the max
[10:18] <kitsuneofdoom> maarten_: ok, if you don't mind me asking, what does that do?
[10:20] <Arafel> hello?
[10:20] <PriceChild> Hey
[10:20] <n-iCe> gnube let me reboot ok ?
[10:20] <n-iCe> please
[10:20] <maarten_> kitsuneofdoom: the function pow is defined in the library libm
[10:20] <n-iCe> i can't close some windows
[10:20] <maarten_> (m for math)
[10:21] <gnube> n-iCe, Sure. It is your computer! =)
[10:21] <n-iCe> hehe
[10:21] <kitsuneofdoom> maarten_: then what is math.h for?
[10:21] <n-iCe> hold on, but why this pass with linu and not with windows?
[10:21] <maarten_> kitsuneofdoom: in the header you have the function prototypes, not their actual definition (== implementation)
[10:21] <gnube> n-iCe, Are you sure it does not do that with Windows? Windows is notorious for paging all the time.
[10:22] <n-iCe> gnube nope doesn't pass
[10:22] <n-iCe> wait i'll reboot
[10:22] <n-iCe> brb
[10:22] <pequatre> hi. i'm having troubles setting the touchpad on my laptop. I've modified xorg.conf to enable synaptics as explained in the how-to's, restarted the X server and it worked...until i reboot. now it doesn't..what gives ?
[10:22] <kitsuneofdoom> maarten_: Ah. I suppose the gcc in Dev-C++ detected that it was supposed to link, whereas regular gcc wouldn't?
[10:22] <maarten_> kitsuneofdoom: that might be
[10:22] <gnube> kitsuneofdoom, No, they use the same gcc
[10:23] <kitsuneofdoom> gnube: I meant dev-C++ detected it had to use gcc with that flag
[10:23] <maarten_>  kitsuneofdoom: maybe on dev-c++ you use g++ instead of gcc
[10:23] <gnube> kitsuneofdoom, Ah!
[10:23] <gnube> now I get it
[10:23] <kitsuneofdoom> gnube: just articulated it badly
[10:23] <gnube> kitsuneofdoom, Yeah, what maarten_ said.
[10:25] <deafboy> I'm going to install the new fglrx drivers (8.34) but they aren't in synaptic should i un-install my old ones first?
[10:25] <Thug-N-Me> ok
[10:26] <morpheusdreams> am about to throw this through the window :(. have tried to install flash through Synaptic Package Manager, Add/Remove.... and downloading it and installing it through command line, nothing works.
[10:27] <Terrasque> funny.. I had absolutely no problems.. did you install ubuntu 64bit?
[10:27] <jrib> morpheusdreams: ok, lets try the package.  Is  flashplugin-nonfree installed right now?
[10:27] <shatrat> morpheusdreams, what does it say when you do "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree"?
[10:28] <morpheusdreams> jrib have tried nonfree and mozilla both dont work
[10:28] <morpheusdreams> shatrat havent tried that way, will try now
[10:28] <nanothief> I'm having a problem running programs from terminal. If I type a.out when the terminal is at a folder containing a.out, it doesn't find the command. Is this normal?
[10:28] <jrib> morpheusdreams: ok, install it so we can troubleshoot.  Does  'apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree' indicate it is installed?
[10:28] <shatrat> morpheusdreams, You arent on 64 bit by the way?
[10:29] <gnube> nanothief, You have to type ./a.out
[10:29] <OMGLAZERS> xv
[10:29] <jrib> morpheusdreams: I'll let shatrat help to prevent confusion, bbl
[10:29] <gnube> nanothief, That means run the program right here
[10:29] <OMGLAZERS> Anyone know a good ghosting program to back up a partition so in case I nuke one I can just restore the other?
[10:29] <morpheusdreams> shatrat no
[10:29] <PocketIRC> what does free as in beer mean..?
[10:29] <gnube> OMGLAZERS, RAID
[10:29] <gnube> PocketIRC, No cost
[10:29] <nanothief> gnube, thanks
[10:29] <gnube> PocketIRC, Free beer! w00t!
[10:30] <gnube> nanothief, Sure thing!
[10:30] <Alessandro> ! iptables
[10:30] <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).
[10:30] <OMGLAZERS> gnube, When I meant nuked, I mean, I screw it up, rather than physical damage. I dont need a RAID 1
[10:30] <Arafel> Im having some problems installing ubuntu 6.10, when I have started the intall it gives me this error: "Buffer I/O error on Device hdc. Block 357564" Does anyone know what it means?
[10:30] <gnube> OMGLAZERS, Okidoki.  =)
 beer isn't free..? If it is tell me where? :O
[10:31] <OMGLAZERS> gnube, Any other suggestions for me? :\
[10:31] <gnube> OMGLAZERS, What is wrong with tar?
[10:31] <morpheusdreams> shatrat am going to relog, if it doesnt work i shall be back
[10:31] <gnube> OMGLAZERS, Or pax?
[10:31] <OMGLAZERS> gnube, Nothing; I don't even know what those are. :P
[10:32] <gnube> OMGLAZERS, Oh I see. Use tar, it is an archive tool, very good, everyone uses it.
[10:32] <OMGLAZERS> gnube, Im a newbie. I'm in ubuntu for a reason. I've nuked a few installations in the past week by screwing around and I want to know how to ghost backup a partition, so in case I screw it up again, I can just restore it with all my settings rather than having to reinstall
[10:32] <OMGLAZERS> gnube, Thanks. Ill google it.
[10:32] <Alessandro> Hi, i have a question , it's good theat:
[10:32] <Alessandro>  iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 -d 218.206.87.108 --dport 31337 -j DNAT --to 218.206.87.108:411
[10:32] <Alessandro> ?
[10:32] <gnube> OMGLAZERS, You use it like this, tar cf new.tar directory_you_want_to_back_up
[10:33] <TheVault> Got a question. My screen is able to go past the 1024x786 limit, but when I am adjusting the resolution in the System>Preference>Screen Resolution, when I click the drop down menu, there is nothing in there to select besides the 1024x786, is there anyway to make my resolution into something past that?
[10:33] <gnube> OMGLAZERS, Try this, it is faster than GOogle. man tar
[10:33] <gnube> TheVault, That depends on the capabilites of your monitor
[10:33] <pzmoma> edit xorg.conf?
[10:33] <shatrat> TheVault, you can add new resolutions to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
[10:33] <Terrasque> TheVault: in a terminal: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf - you might want to save a backup first, tho.
[10:33] <OMGLAZERS> gnube, Well I meant I'd like to read up on it. I just want to make sure I know what im doing. I didnt know if there's any gui type deal like Norton has 'Norton Ghost' or such
[10:34] <OMGLAZERS> gnube, I really want to make sure I dont screw it up again
[10:34] <TheVault> How do I make a backup of the xorg.conf file?
[10:34] <Grif3r> TheVault: you can ignore all but 16 and 24 bit colordepths
[10:34] <shatrat> TheVault, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
[10:34] <Terrasque> make a copy of the file, place it somewhere :)
[10:34] <pzmoma> def make backups, its imperative, constantly editing a file causes it and its ~backup to be overwritten
[10:34] <TheVault> shatrat: Thnx
[10:34] <Grif3r> no need to edit lower colors
[10:34] <gnube> OMGLAZERS, Yeah, there are GUI type deals, unforntunately I do not use them, sorry.
[10:35] <shatrat> I wonder what x would look like with a depth of 1
[10:35] <Grif3r> short question: can you see me write?
[10:35] <PWill> crap
[10:35] <OMGLAZERS> gnube, Ill google the tar command and maybe look for something else. Thanks for the help :)
[10:35] <Terrasque> shatrat: black and white :)
[10:35] <TheVault> Alright, I am about to open the xorg.conf file, I will need to know what to do. I think on my Windows Xp, the resolution is 1024x1200
[10:35] <PWill> shatrat: TRY IT :)
[10:35] <gnube> OMGLAZERS, You are very welcome! :) And good luck.
[10:36] <morpheusdreams> yey am backk, flash still doesnt work
[10:36] <Arafel> TheVault: Your shure its not 1280x1024 or something like that?
[10:36] <shatrat> morpheusdreams, if you do "locate libflashplayer.so" in terminal what does it say?
[10:36] <PWill> TheVault: hmm, that resolution sounds weird...
[10:36] <utet1432> Hey everybody,
[10:36] <utet1432> My cousin moved to Georgia which isn't close at all to where I live. He recently got a huge huge windows virus that completely prevented his computer from booting up. He couldn't find the XP disk so I convinced him that he should use Ubuntu. He has a Dell Dimension 8100 with a P4 1.4 Ghz and 384 MB RAM. So we installed with the alternate cd because the Desktop CD was way too sluggish for us to install with. After the instal
[10:36] <utet1432> l, boot-up takes 30 minutes and before X starts up this error shows up and takes 15 minutes to go away:
[10:36] <utet1432> 17179569 SMP mptable: bad signature [0x0] !
[10:36] <utet1432> 17179569 BIOS bug, MP table errors detected!
[10:36] <utet1432> 17179569 ...disabling SMP support (tell your hw vendor).
[10:36] <TheVault> Yeah
[10:36] <utet1432> something like that shows up it's either that or
[10:36] <utet1432> this:
[10:36] <utet1432> [4294667.296000]  SMP mptable: null local APIC address!
[10:36] <utet1432> [4294667.296000]  BIOS bug, MP table errors detected...
[10:36] <TheVault> its 1280x1024
[10:36] <utet1432> [4294667.296000]  diasabling SMP support. (Tell your hw vendor)
[10:36] <utet1432> (my cousin didn't explain it well)
[10:36] <TheVault> yeah, that was it
[10:36] <utet1432> Nevertheless,
[10:36] <utet1432> X loaded up and so did gnome but gnome is so so sluggish that it feels that it doesn't have any RAM. But I typed
[10:36] <utet1432> Code:
[10:37] <utet1432> free
[10:37] <morpheusdreams> shatrat it doesnt say anything
[10:37] <utet1432> into the command prompt and there was at least 100MB of RAM available. What can I do to get this computer to work at a reasonable speed like it did when it had windows? Also gnome is slow sluggish that it took 15 minutes to load firefox. It is rediculous. Should I try maybe xubuntu? Or is the problem related to the SMP error?
[10:37] <PWill> holy cow
[10:37] <TheVault> So in the file, how do I make it 1280x1024?
[10:37] <flafla> I screwed up my totem player...  It always plays at like 1.5x speed,  anyone know how to undo this?
[10:37] <RoyB> has anyone succeeded booting both ubuntu and Vista using grub or any other method?
[10:37] <Grif3r> can anyone see me?
[10:37] <shatrat> morpheusdreams, well your enot gonna believe this, but that means it's not installed ;D
[10:37] <mbac> what package will install all of the man pages, including the one for pthread_create?
[10:37] <flafla> grif3r: yes
[10:37] <Terrasque> TheVault: look for a Screen section, see what the default color depth is, and add a new res at the Display subsection.
[10:37] <shatrat> morpheusdreams, what did it say when you did "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree"?
[10:37] <Grif3r> ok, thanks just wondering because I have idle coloring :)
[10:37] <Vuen> hey guys, what would i use to open an apple keynote file in linux?
[10:37] <nicotina> Hi gnube
[10:38] <nicotina> gnube,  I'm n-iCe
[10:38] <nicotina> So what can be the problem ?
[10:38] <Grif3r> Vuen: nothing. save it as .ppt in Keynote
[10:38] <morpheusdreams> shatrat shoul di just paste it all?
[10:38] <PWill> TheVault: you should see something like this:         SubSection "Display"
[10:38] <PWill>                 Depth           24
[10:38] <PWill>                 Modes           "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
[10:38] <PWill>         EndSubSection
[10:38] <shatrat> morpheusdreams, wel, did it say already installed, broken package, something like that?
[10:38] <PWill> TheVault: make sure you have "1280x1024" on the list
[10:39] <erUSUL> !paste > PWill
[10:39] <betatux> Why are there (edu)(x)(k)ubuntu versions of ubuntu which only differ in certain packages ? If Microsoft would go that way them clients would be getting 'WOFFICE' (windows office) and 'WEMAIL' (windows email) versions :)
[10:39] <erUSUL> !paste > utet1432
[10:39] <PWill> erUSUL: pfft, it was 4 lines
[10:39] <TheVault> PWill: Alright, lemme check
[10:39] <utet1432> paste what?
[10:39] <gnube> hey nicotina
[10:39] <shatrat> betatux, to keep the installer under 700mb while still offereing different desktop environtments
[10:40] <Terrasque> betatux: no, more like windows home, windows professional, windows server, windows starter, and if i know them right they would make it impossible to upgrade from one to another
[10:40] <morpheusdreams> shatrat it said reading package lists...done, building dependency tree, reading state information... done, flashplugin-nonfree is already the newest version, then a list of packages which were automatically installed and no longer required
[10:40] <TheVault> No, 1280x1024 is not on the list
[10:40] <shatrat> betatux, keep in mind, there is very little on a windows install disk compared toa  linux one.  windows comes with practically no applications
[10:40] <jimmygoon> Why does the new version of Xchat want me to dist-upgrade to get it :S
[10:40] <PWill> TheVault: add it :)
[10:40] <TheVault> lemme get a paste bin real quick of what I am seeing
[10:40] <flafla> I'm not sure what I did but my totem and VLC player both play at about 1.5x speed and choppy and with no sound can someone help me fix this?
[10:40] <vinux> hello
[10:40] <ClinicalMistake> ~
[10:41] <betatux> shatrat, Terrasque indeed , you're both making a point.
[10:41] <Terrasque> TheVault: just use the keyboard, and add "1280x1024" to the modes. It's no magic
[10:41] <milanm> hello all, a quick question: I added bunch of servers to /etc/hosts. Now, when I try to ssh like so "ssh user@host.com" and if I try to expand name of host by hitting TAB, it doesn't work. It always did on RedHat/CentOS. Any ideas as to why?
[10:41] <PWill> TheVault: after you add it, save the file, then save all of your open work, and press Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to restart X
[10:41] <shatrat> morpheusdreams, ok, one quick thing.  do "ls ~/.mozilla/plugins"  and if you dont see libflashplayer then try "sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree"
[10:41] <TheVault> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9309/ - thats what I am currently seeing
[10:41] <vinux> do you know if VLC let to send a DVB stream ? or play a stream on a DVB card
[10:42] <nicotina> gnube,  what can i do then ?
[10:42] <rpedro_> i wonder if #ubuntu will pass the 1500 mark when feisty is released. :D
[10:42] <Terrasque> TheVault: got a widescreen monitor?
[10:42] <TheVault> Ummm I think
[10:42] <gnube> nicotina, How does it sound now?
[10:42] <Grif3r> TheVault: use nano if you're not comfy editing files
[10:42] <Grif3r> it's friendly
[10:42] <nicotina> gnube,  after reboot?
[10:42] <Terrasque> TheVault: what did you say the max mode windows had?
[10:42] <nicotina> Sounds good
[10:42] <morpheusdreams> shatrat ok it was there and have ran that command, it's been removed
[10:43] <gnube> Grif3r, I strongly disagree, nano is mean.
[10:43] <TheVault> I believe it was 1280x1024 on Windows Xp
[10:43] <RoyB> has anyone succeeded booting both ubuntu and Vista using grub or any other method?
[10:43] <shatrat> morpheusdreams, ok, try installing it again, "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree"
[10:43] <PWill> RoyB: ew, no :-P
[10:43] <RoyB> :)
[10:43] <nysosym> hi there, are git user there?
[10:43] <utet1432> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9311/
[10:43] <nysosym> i have a problem with running git "/usr/bin/gitfm: fatal error: `chdir' failed: permission denied."
[10:43] <nysosym> anyone with the same problem?
[10:43] <morpheusdreams> shatrat  automatic installation failed due to network problems or upstream changes
[10:44] <PWill> gnube: Nano is great, but vim is best
[10:44] <RoyB> can someone tell me why I can only get 1024x768 resolution in Ubuntu 6.10?
[10:44] <erUSUL> nysosym: git the vcs?
[10:44] <shatrat> morpheusdreams, well, I have no idea what that means.
[10:44] <Arafel> nysosym: You have to be root?
[10:44] <erUSUL> !fixres > RoyB
[10:44] <gnube> PWill, Religious war! Religious war!
[10:44] <nysosym> Arafel: yes i run it with sudo
[10:44] <morpheusdreams> shatrat damn :(
[10:44] <shatrat> morpheusdreams, do you have the backports repository enabled?
[10:44] <erUSUL> nysosym: i use it to track the vanilla kernel tree
[10:44] <nysosym> erUSUL: yes
[10:44] <Grif3r> gnube, no it's not
[10:44] <Grif3r> for small editing much handier than vim
[10:44] <nicotina> gnube,  now looks good, but when i open programms satrt the noise
[10:45] <Grif3r> which I've never really learned to use swiftly
[10:45] <Terrasque> TheVault: I would try something like http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9312/ first
[10:45] <morpheusdreams> shatrat i'm not sure. i don't remember enabling it (am new to linux as of tonight if you couldn't tell :))
[10:45] <OldGnuMan> gnube: Emacs is the best!
[10:45] <erUSUL> !best
[10:45] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[10:45] <kelsin> utet1432: I don't know about the problem at all, but the speed is definitely an issue, that computer should be running fine without a problem
[10:45] <shatrat> morpheusdreams, do gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:45] <Arafel> I was wondering if someone knew a realy easy and elegant way to get a program to start when the machine enters INIT3 (as I want the program to always be running)
[10:45] <gnube> OldGnuMan Emacs rocks
[10:45] <kimmern>  Hey! at the startup screen when kubuntu loads, it uses a hell of a lot time..i think it is "scanning all disks" at every startup..how can i disable that?
[10:45] <kelsin> utet1432: I mean to say the desktop cd should not have been slow either
[10:46] <yomm> I don't have my cpu manual anymore , How can I find out which type it is ?
[10:46] <shatrat> morpheusdreams, you should remove the # in front of the lines with the backports repositories
[10:46] <nicotina> !es
[10:46] <ubotu> Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[10:46] <thingy> yomm: cat /proc/cpu
[10:46] <Terrasque> I just dont understand why people bother with that vi vs emacs vs nano discussion. I just dont see the point at all. After all, VI is best, so why argue? :p
[10:46] <PWill> yomm: run gnome-system-monitor
[10:46] <flafla> I'm not sure what I did but my totem and VLC player both play at about 1.5x speed and choppy and with no sound can someone help me fix this?
[10:46] <erUSUL> Arafel: use /etc/init.d/skeleton as a base for a startup script for your app and use update-rc.d to add it to the apropiate runlevels
[10:46] <yomm> pwill / thingy : thx
[10:46] <Grif3r> hmm wird. suddenly I can't start any programs (now in Gnome)
[10:46] <kelsin> utet1432: have you guys tried booting with acpi=off?
[10:47] <morpheusdreams> shatrat these?  deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy-backports main restricted universe multiverse
[10:47] <morpheusdreams>  deb-src http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy-backports main restricted universe multive
[10:47] <shatrat> yomm, you could also do cat /proc/cpuinfo for a lot of info about the processor
[10:47] <PWill> yomm: just kidding, gnome-system-monitor only shows CPU type in Feisty, I think
[10:47] <kelsin> utet1432: at the boot menu of the alternative cd or the normal cd check out the options for acpi=off
[10:47] <TheVault> Alright, Here is what I had before http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9309/ and this is whats after http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9314/ -- Did I do that correctly?
[10:47] <shatrat> morpheusdreams, yeah, make sure theyre not commented out (no #)
[10:47] <yomm> cat /proc/cpu does nothing :)
[10:47] <yomm> pwill : not using gnome anyway :p
[10:47] <utet1432> kelsin:  we already installed ubuntu and it still is really sluggish
[10:47] <morpheusdreams> shatrat they were, have taken them out and now i save and try again?
[10:47] <thingy> yomm: oops,,,it should be cat /prov/cpuinfo
[10:47] <thingy> doh!
[10:48] <shatrat> morpheusdreams, save, then sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[10:48] <PWill> cat /proc/cpuinfo
[10:48] <yomm> thingy : figured it out :)
[10:48] <kelsin> utet1432: then you should etc the /boot/grub/grub.conf file and add acpi=off to the kernel line, I don't know the "ubuntu" way of doing that if there is one
[10:48] <utet1432> and now how after the installation should i put in the acpi=off
[10:48] <shatrat> utet1432, you can put it in your grub kernel options
[10:48] <utet1432> should i add it before root?
[10:48] <morpheusdreams> shatrat ok done and done
[10:48] <Terrasque> I have a question. totem can stream movies via ssh:// from one machine, but fails miserably from a different (much beefier) machine. sshd_config is identical, and the 2nd machine have 0 in load. scp can drag 20 mb/s from it, and ftp 50mb/s
[10:48] <shatrat> utet1432, just at the end  of the kernel options should be fine, after quiet splash
[10:49] <jememe> hey guys i have these speakers:  Creative Inspire P5800 5.1 Surround Sound Speaker when i plug them in and listen to music through them i only hear it comming out of the two front speakers and the sub the other two rear and center dont work, any ideas why sound is not comming out of them? i heard i had to do something special to get them to work?
[10:49] <utet1432> also could it be that the virus corrupted the BIOS?
[10:49] <sean> In windows, I can press the scroll button to make a little thing on my screen for FIREFOX and then i can move the wheel up and down to scroll, how do i that with ubuntu?
[10:49] <utet1432> and if that is the case should I update the BIOS????
[10:49] <yomm> Strange , though I'm quite sure my processor supports sse3 , it doesnt stat sse3 in "cat/proc/cpuinfo" any clues ?
[10:49] <shatrat> morpheusdreams, did it say anything comforting about it installing the package?
[10:49] <cosmodad> &join #ns
[10:49] <thingy> Terrasque: why use ssh:// to stream anyway?
[10:50] <thingy> Terrasque: you need the encryption?
[10:50] <gnube> thingy, Apparently to encrypt
[10:50] <morpheusdreams> shatrat it said the same as it did before, about the dependency tree and the automatically installed packages
[10:50] <shatrat> yomm, you could google your processor using the other info you got
[10:50] <kelsin> utet1432: you could try to flash the bios, but that seems very extreme. I would also look into kernel options to turn off smp and ht support right away, I'm not sure what they are
[10:50] <kelsin> utet1432: class time for me, good luck
[10:50] <thingy> gnube: but encrypt a movie stream? weird!
[10:50] <gnube> thingy, pr0n?
[10:50] <yomm> shatrat : ok
[10:51] <TheVault> Alrighty, I saved the file after I edited and then I pressed CTRl+ALT+Backspace and it logged me out and nothing looks different
[10:51] <Terrasque> thingy: because 1. it Just Works(TM) (when it works), I can set up pam to unlock the keys at login, and its standard on every server I have :) Oh, and ftp lags when jumping position in the file
[10:51] <utet1432> ok
[10:51] <Grif3r> god I hate gnome
[10:51] <colbert> How can I connect to a network printer?
[10:51] <shatrat> morpheusdreams, still no libflashplayer.so ?
[10:51] <utet1432> but i think i might flash the bios
[10:51] <crdlb> Terrasque, I do the same thing but it works great for me (the server is a 450 MHZ PIII)
[10:51] <gnube> colbert, Look at CUPS
[10:51] <thingy> Terrasque: Use samba and cifs...much much better option for your purposes...its minimal config required
[10:52] <morpheusdreams> shatrat when i do ls ~/.mozilla/plugins  it is there
[10:52] <sean> In windows, I can press the scroll button to make a little thing on my screen for FIREFOX and then i can move the wheel up and down to scroll, how do i that with ubuntu?
[10:52] <EADG> Can anybody recommend a free .avi to .mp4 (iPod video) converter?
[10:52] <thingy> Terrasque: with ssh, your wasting cpu doing encryption and the protocol is expensive i.e. doesnt give max throughput
[10:52] <Terrasque> crdlb: the fun part is: it works perfectly on a P2 300mhz with 128 ram and a ton of stuff running, but it just refuse to work on my new fileserver
[10:52] <shatrat> morpheusdreams, I dont understand why it isnt working in tha tcase
[10:52] <utet1432> um does anyone else know how to disable SMP support in the kernel
[10:52] <utet1432> ????
[10:52] <morpheusdreams> shatrat :( i shall try relogging again
[10:52] <TheVault> when I edited the xorg.conf file, I put what you guys said and then pressed the CTRL+ALT+backspace and then it logged me out and nothing looks different
[10:52] <EADG> ...wrong window.
[10:52] <thingy> utet1432: nosmp boot option?
[10:52] <Grif3r> sean same way as in windows
[10:52] <gordonjcp> EADG: you could try mencoder, but I don't know exactly what settings you'd need
[10:52] <sean> just click?
[10:53] <Grif3r> enable the feature in menus
[10:53] <cafuego_> Terrasque: mount the remote stuff using sshfs and fuse, see if that helps.
[10:53] <sean> Grif3r: nothing happens when i click though..
[10:53] <utet1432> should i also use acpi=off
[10:53] <Terrasque> thingy: I am perfectly aware of that. But it's not a problem for me, and the benefits far outweights the downsides.
[10:53] <morpheusdreams> shatrat nope, still nothing.
[10:53] <TheVault> My resolution has not changed when I edited the file
[10:53] <Grif3r> sean: you have to enable it from the regular menu
[10:53] <thingy> Terrasque: ok. back to your problem then..so are both these machines on the same lan?
[10:53] <Grif3r> just look around
[10:54] <thingy> Terrasque: i.e. running off the same switch/router?
[10:54] <shatrat> morpheusdreams, could you pastebin the error you get when you try to do "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree"?
[10:54] <sean> Grif3r: yeah i just found drivers for logitech in synaptic, so i'll try that out
[10:54] <Guychi> Hi! I have a 5GB file and trying to get it from another machine through FTP. I get an error since it is over 4GB. How can I transfer files larger than 4GB?
[10:54] <Terrasque> thingy: yes. the fileserver and desktop share the same gbit switch. The other server is two switches away.
[10:54] <gnube> TheVault, Are you sure your monitor can handle the resoulution you want?
[10:54] <gnube> TheVault, Find that out first.
[10:54] <TheVault> gnube: Yeah, in windows xp it goes
[10:55] <TheVault> Do you want me to login to windows and see the exact resolution?
[10:55] <morpheusdreams> shatrat i dont seem to be getting any error messages at all
[10:55] <gnube> TheVault, Fine, but do you have the linux driver installed?
[10:55] <thingy> Terrasque: umm so you have the latency on the server which is two switches away?
[10:55] <Terrasque> thingy: the only real difference I can guess is that the fileserver use ubuntu 64bit, while the other use 32bit. But scp dont have any problems with that, and normal gnome drag'n'drop copy works dandy
[10:55] <TheVault> linux driver?
[10:55] <Solarion> is apt smart enough yet to do diffs instead of downloading the whole package?
[10:55] <nicotina> gnube,  to calm down my cpu again? how can i do it
[10:55] <Grif3r> TheVault: nvidia
[10:55] <Grif3r> ?
[10:55] <TheVault> I don't use nvida gfx card
[10:55] <sean> What is the 'best' flash plugin?
[10:55] <Grif3r> ati has linux drivers too
[10:56] <shatrat> morpheusdreams, what about sudo apt-get upgrade?
[10:56] <pzmoma> whered mplayer go? im not seeing it in the pkg database
[10:56] <gnube> sean from adobe
[10:56] <TheVault> If you want, I'll give you the name of my gfx card though
[10:56] <cafuego_> Solarion: amt doesn't download diffs
[10:56] <ghata2> Hi, When i try to play something online, firefox always tries to open it in Totem and Totem is never able to play anything, i have better players like VLC and mplayer on my system, how do i tell firefox and use these players and not use Totem ?
[10:56] <Solarion> cafuego_: too bad
[10:56] <morpheusdreams> shatrat 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[10:56] <Solarion> I hate to eat several megs of download for something simple.
[10:56] <gnube> ghata2, Check in the preferences settings for firefox
[10:56] <gnube> morpheusdreams, You are up to date then
[10:57] <shatrat> morpheusdreams, you've already done an apt-get update since you edited the sources.list, right?
[10:57] <ghata2> gnube: i have already done that, i can not find anything that will associate these players
[10:57] <TheVault> basicly, I want the resolution thats above the 1024x786
[10:57] <morpheusdreams> shatrat yeah you said to just after i did it, big list went zoom :)
[10:57] <TheVault> That things are smaller on the desktop
[10:57] <Grif3r> ghata2: go to some saved videofile > rightclick > settings
[10:58] <morpheusdreams> gnube yeah, it does look that way, as shatrat says there doesnt seem to be any good reason it isnt working
[10:58] <jimmygoon> TheVault: are you even sure that your video card/ display supports it?
[10:58] <Grif3r> there you can change default video player
[10:58] <sean> i'm used to macromedia flash, adobe flash doesn't have the same ring to it :-/
[10:58] <shatrat> sean, at least adobe makes a decent linux version, if youre 32 bit
[10:58] <TheVault> jimmygoon: Yes
[10:58] <morpheusdreams> shatrat i just tried it again and got E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
[10:58] <morpheusdreams> E: Unable to lock the list directory
[10:58] <Grif3r> adobe owns macromedia......
[10:58] <grndslm> anybody know where i might find the "alignmargins" command (for cups maybe)...my brother printer is offcenter and people say this "command" can fix it
[10:58] <sean> shatrat: 64 :<
[10:59] <shatrat> morpheusdreams, did you not do it as admin, or did you already have synaptic or something open?
[10:59] <jimmygoon> morpheusdreams, prefix the command with sudo
[10:59] <Grif3r> sean just install 32bit firefox
[10:59] <utet1432> ????
[10:59] <morpheusdreams> shatrat it worked now
[10:59] <IndyGunFreak> shatrat: just another reason not to mess with 64bit distros.. yet.
[10:59] <morpheusdreams> jimmygoon thanks
[11:00] <shatrat> IndyGunFreak, I have the best reason of all, 5 year old cpu
[11:00] <IndyGunFreak> shatrat: lol, thats a pretty good reason to.
[11:00] <yomm> 64bit distros , gave that up quite some time ago , mb it's worthwhile if you big big server with huge amounts of ram , else leave it be
[11:01] <blenna_unix> simple question. instead of typing < http://foo.com/1.html > how can i redirect users to that page by using <http://foo.com/1 >  thanks
[11:01] <aluno> \j mp3ware
[11:01] <Grif3r> 64bit rules
[11:01] <IndyGunFreak> Grif3r: yeah, it rules allright... spend all day getting 32bit apps to work on a 64bit distro,
[11:01] <Grif3r> some things are just a bit harder to do, like getting flash to work
[11:02] <aluno> oi
[11:02] <Traveler7> Anyone familier with installing from a USB disk? I followed the directions, and am now booting from the usb disk, but all i've gotten is a blinking cursor (for about 10 minutes). Is this normal, or did I luck out and not get a good usb drive/mobo combo?
[11:02] <yomm> GrifEr : also you only benefit if you have a lot of ram ( + 4 gig ) and the right configuration & software
[11:02] <Grif3r> name some 32bit app I need, <IndyGunFreak>
[11:03] <shatrat> yomm, 64 bit is also a pretty significant increase in integer calculations, like compiling software
[11:03] <cafuego_> Grif3r: openoffice? wine?
[11:03] <sorinn>  #ubuntu-devel
[11:03] <Krunk> Hi. Earlier I trashed my MBR. To get it back, I installed another edition of Ubuntu on hda3, swap hda6, then booted to the old (good) edition I had installed before on hda1, swap hda5. I'd like to delete the new edition's partitions, but hda3 is set to 'active' which means the info is stored on that partition. Where could I find the old partitions boot info, and what should I do to get it to boot? Help?
[11:03] <IndyGunFreak> Grif3r: if it works for you, thats great.
[11:03] <Grif3r> openoffice is 64bit already
[11:03] <TheVault> About my graphic card: Mobile Intel(R) 945GM Express Chipset Family
[11:03] <Grif3r> yup, compilation times are shitloads faster even with lessa ram than 4gig
[11:04] <yomm> shatrat : true , so you can spend that time looking for the dependencies & fixes :p
[11:04] <TheVault> its 256mb of ram and does support 1280x1024 truecolor
[11:04] <Grif3r> install 32bit version of gentoo, then 64bit on same computer and count the difference it takes
[11:05] <TheVault> Hey IndyGunFreak
[11:05] <IndyGunFreak> Grif3r: so the biggest adventure is you can compile faster?..lol
[11:05] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: hey
[11:05] <Grif3r> advantage
[11:05] <shatrat> TheVault, I know some intel chipsets are buggy with changing resolutions, theres a 915resolution package to workaround it but I really dont know muhc about it or what chipsets are afected.
[11:05] <nicotina> !swift
[11:05] <cafuego_> Grif3r: Sorry, but I don't have enough time to waste to even look at gentoo, let alone try it.
[11:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about swift - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:05] <yomm> though I must admit it's been a few months since I used a 64bit distro  (Ubuntu AMD server ), and hell , linux moves fast
[11:05] <utet1432> do u think that flashing the bios will solve the problem????
[11:05] <aluno> mp3
[11:05] <Grif3r> cafuego_: well that's bad
[11:06] <Grif3r> teaches more about linux in less time than any other distro IMHO. great starter distro
[11:06] <cafuego_> then again, if I don't bother compiling stuff, i don't need a cpu that's faster at compiling
[11:06] <cafuego_> Grif3r: Yeah, I did that in 1994. Really don't need to start again now.
[11:06] <IndyGunFreak> cafuego_: thats for sure, if its not int he repos, i don't need it..lol
[11:06] <auraithx> I need help - I accidently installed the gfx card drivers and now I can't start up Ubuntu. (I'm on the LiveCD right now)
[11:06] <Grif3r> ok :)
[11:07] <jimmygoon> TheVault, where are you finding that it says it supports 1280x1024?
[11:07] <auraithx> *installed the wrong gfx card drivers
[11:07] <yomm> hehe
[11:07] <smultron> i have a rather simple question: do you have to disable DHCP on your router before you can assign yourself a static IP address?
[11:07] <yomm> smultron : no
[11:07] <Mcatt> No smultron
[11:07] <sorinn> someone here who know to use valgrind ?
[11:07] <Grif3r> I have a noisy keyboard... damn
[11:08] <smultron> oh, ok. thanks :)
[11:08] <yomm> Grifer : press the mute key :p
[11:08] <Grif3r> :D
[11:08] <martalli> If I want to share a directory over our local network, what is the "linux way" of doing this? Is it NFS?
[11:08] <auraithx> anyone? is there a way to revert the changes I've made....
[11:08] <shatrat> martalli, yes.  If you dont have to get along with windows machines use NFS
[11:08] <flafla> I'm not sure what I did but my totem and VLC player both play at about 1.5x speed and choppy and with no sound can someone help me fix this?
[11:08] <erUSUL> auraithx: without knowing what have you done...
[11:09] <auraithx> I installed Nvidia drivers and now when I reboot I get an error: no monitor
[11:09] <martalli> aurathrix:  Run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver" from the command line
[11:09] <sorinn> ;) and choose nvidia not nv
[11:09] <sorinn> as driver
[11:09] <effthis> could somebody pls tell me how to get a FILE LIST from a package using apt-cache?  ideally i'd like to do a search for a file that i want to provide, and receive a list of packages that have that file.
[11:09] <nicotina> A good mp3 player please :)
[11:09] <martalli> Can windows machien use NFS at all?
[11:09] <erUSUL> auraithx: how have you installed them?...
[11:09] <effthis> the only way i know how to do this currently is to install the package and then do a find/locate...
[11:10] <sorinn> nicotina -> Listen
[11:10] <Grif3r> so is here anyone who has successfully used window maker in ubuntu?
[11:10] <nicotina> sorinn,  let me check t
[11:10] <sorinn> google for Listen music player
[11:10] <eck> effthis: to find what package provides a file, you need to install apt-file
[11:11] <auraithx> erUSUL: through this tutorial http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu
[11:11] <eck> effthis: if you want to see what files a package provided, you can use dpkg -L
[11:11] <effthis> so apt-file will search NON-INSTALLED packages, using the package database?
[11:11] <eck> effthis: yes, that is correct
[11:11] <effthis> great, thanks!
[11:11] <erUSUL> auraithx: which one? (there are many links in that page)
[11:12] <yomm> Anyone know how to set up a toggle key with xbindkeys , or any other app ? e.g I want F2 to open/terminate  Xterm !
[11:12] <nicotina> sorinn,  :/ bad bad bad =p a good mp3 player!
[11:12] <nicotina> With good look
[11:12] <auraithx> erUSUL: sorry, this one --> http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu_Edgy_with_nVidia
[11:12] <sorinn> ah - Xmms is skinable
[11:12] <eck> yomm: in gnome? system > preferences > keyboard shortcuts
[11:13] <opla> salut tout le monde
[11:13] <yomm> eck : how bout just in x with twm ? :)
[11:13] <sorinn> XMMS support winamp skins
[11:13] <eck> yomm: if you use gconf you can bind keys to arbitrayr commands
[11:13] <nicotina> sorinn,  when can  i find the skins ?
[11:13] <eck> yomm: usually it is supported by the WM
[11:13] <killown> opla english only
[11:13] <eck> look at the twm man page?
[11:13] <nicotina> sorinn,  really  ? i can download them in winamp.com ?
[11:13] <darkyoshi> how do I install a .debdiff file?
[11:13] <yomm> eck : also the toggle ?
[11:13] <AMSmith42> Any idea why I am getting a 403 Forbidden when I apt-get kubuntu-desktop with ubuntu-server?
[11:13] <sorinn> give me your mail - I'll send you a lot
[11:13] <eck> toggle?
[11:14] <nicotina> Thank you sorinn
[11:14] <opla> all right
[11:14] <yomm> eck e.g. I want F2 to toggle opening/ terminating Xterm
[11:14] <eck> yomm: that would also be a WM feature, but i haven't heard of a WM that has that feature
[11:14] <killown> blackbox = bbkeys
[11:15] <yomm> eck : ok thanks ;)
[11:15] <erUSUL> auraithx: well that script does a lot of things... i recommend you to boot your ubuntu in recovery mode and doing a try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' to reconfigure the x server...
[11:15] <auraithx> how do I do recovery mode?
[11:15] <shatrat> auraithx, its in grub.  In the future I dont recommend using that how-to
[11:15] <killown> grub boot say it
[11:15] <darkyoshi> anybody? how do I install a .debdiff file?
[11:15] <erUSUL> auraithx: in the grub menu should be a recovery mode entry
[11:15] <auraithx> Okay, thanks. bbl
[11:16] <PirateHead> I can't import pictures from my camera unless I'm root -- any way to fix that?
[11:16] <palbuddy> help a newbie (me!) I have put in a second hard drive and don't want to format it.  How do I access it under ubuntu ultimate?
[11:16] <PirateHead> It's annoying, because I then have to chown them to my user.
[11:16] <killown> PirateHead, sudo?
[11:16] <PirateHead> killown: obviously, that's the way I've been doing it
[11:16] <eck> PirateHead: are you in all the default groups?
[11:16] <titus> what is ubuntu ultimate
[11:16] <PirateHead> killown: it seems like a bug to me, though
[11:16] <eck> i think the group would be plugdev
[11:17] <PirateHead> titus: it's a distro based on Ubuntu with lots of extra packages set up by default
[11:17] <PirateHead> eck: thanks for the suggestion, let me check
[11:17] <sorinn> nicotina: other one -> http://www.zinf.org/
[11:17] <titus> PirateHead: oh.
[11:17] <sorinn> there are themes too
[11:17] <darkyoshi372> what do I do with a debdiff?
[11:17] <colbert> I have a Palm Treo 650 (bluetooth), is that all I need to be able to send files to my PC via bluetooth or must my PC have some bluetooth type hardware ?
[11:18] <PirateHead> eck: I am in all the defualt groups, but plugdev is not one of those.
[11:18] <eck> PirateHead: i think if you add it and log out and back in it will work
[11:18] <palbuddy> anyone?
[11:18] <PirateHead> eck: I will try that. Thanks.
[11:20] <palbuddy> Anyone help me with my hard drive woes?
[11:20] <eck> palbuddy: you just need to mount it
[11:20] <palbuddy> that won't delete anything?
[11:20] <darkyoshi372> no
[11:20] <eck> correct
[11:21] <darkyoshi372> only if you format
[11:21] <palbuddy> okay, so how do I do that?
[11:21] <Grif3r> woot: http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/07/03/08/1817210.shtml
[11:21] <bruenig> palbuddy, what is the fs format, is it ext3 or ntfs or fat32 or what
[11:21] <darkyoshi372> try sudo mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2 (correct me if I'm wrong, people)
[11:21] <palbuddy> ntfs
[11:21] <Grif3r> "all microsoft updates phone home now"
[11:21] <bruenig> darkyoshi372, yeah make sure /mnt/hda2 exists though, sudo mkdir /mnt/hda2
[11:22] <jimmygoon> Grif3r: seriously? you didn't know that already....? :(
[11:22] <bruenig> palbuddy, then the darkyoshi372 command should work, you may need to specify the filesystem though like this, sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2
[11:22] <jimmygoon> Grif3r, they've been doing that for forever I'd imagine
[11:22] <palbuddy> okay I"ll try that
[11:22] <palbuddy> thanks for the help (brb)
[11:22] <Grif3r> no, that's new. I worked for MS nearly 2 years ;)
[11:22] <mentaluproar> hello room!
[11:22] <Grif3r> it's because of the new WGA
[11:22] <jimmygoon> thats only if its his second partition
[11:23] <jimmygoon> !!
[11:23] <eck> of the first hard drive!
[11:23] <riqz> Guys my main drive that was labelled hda1 on my desktop suddenly changed its name to  -->
[11:23] <riqz> </scr  without me touching anything... what happened
[11:23] <PirateHead> I think there are noobs on my computer
[11:23] <PirateHead> ls -lR / | grep noobs
[11:23] <bruenig> yeah I just got in here, I just assumed they already figured out the name, palbuddy if that isn't the name then that command won't work
[11:23] <palbuddy> ?
[11:24] <palbuddy> I'm sorry
[11:24] <palbuddy> ?
[11:24] <bruenig> palbuddy, did that command fail
[11:24] <eck> PirateHead: in the interest of pedantry, i must insist that you use find
[11:24] <effthis> apt-file worked perfectly eck, thanks again
[11:24] <palbuddy> I'm trying right now
[11:24] <zbyszek> hi
[11:24] <riqz> please help me guys?can i change the name back to hda1? but why did it change in the first place
[11:24] <mentaluproar> 1 issues I cant figure out.  I haven't touched linux in a few years, so I'm lost again.  I need help, first, adding XP back into the boot manager.  The installer didn't see it
[11:24] <bruenig> riqz, it doesn't matter, just use the new one
[11:24] <jimmygoon> How do I reload gnome-panel to reload the menu entry?
[11:25] <riqz> bruenig: but why would it change
[11:25] <shatrat> mentaluproar, youll need to add it to /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:25] <palbuddy> okay it asks for my password then it just says nothing
[11:25] <bruenig> riqz, it just changed out of nowhere? you didn't reinstall or anything?
[11:25] <mentaluproar> how?  in what way?
[11:25] <eck> mentaluproar: if you look at the menu.lst they have a sample entry for winxp
[11:25] <riqz> bruenig: last thing i did was connect for the first time my 300gig external to the firwire
[11:25] <eck> mentaluproar: it's near the top, commented out, iirc
[11:25] <mentaluproar> one moment
[11:26] <blahblah> hey is there anyone that can help me with a quick question??
[11:26] <bruenig> palbuddy, you put your password and then what?
[11:26] <palbuddy> nothing happens after I put my password in
[11:26] <bruenig> palbuddy, just goes to another line or what
[11:26] <Pricey> !ask | blahblah
[11:26] <ubotu> blahblah: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:26] <blahblah> lol ok ok =] 
[11:26] <palbuddy> I can get to it by file browser then it says 'no application for this file'
[11:26] <riqz> bruenig?
[11:27] <bruenig> palbuddy, ok, do sudo fdisk -l and figure out what the name of the hdd is, probably something like /dev/hdb I would bet
[11:27] <r4nge> trying to grep an ip from a log,  the log for example has 127.0.0.1:1234?5678,  i want to grab everything until the ? and it has to match exactly
[11:27] <bruenig> riqz, don't know, wouldn't worry about it
[11:27] <palbuddy> okay brb breuing
[11:27] <riqz> bruenig: so can i change the name back?
[11:27] <blahblah> ive seen a sort of desktop cube, you have the ability to zoom out and rotate a cube to see different desktops is that a setting or a plug in or something ... im new this is my first time using this os and so far its reall nice =D
[11:27] <WannabeNewbie> Does anyone know of a good map program for Linux? Like a streets map and a topo-map for hiking?
[11:27] <bruenig> riqz, I don't think you can change names
[11:27] <r4nge> so just putting in 127 wont grab the line
[11:28] <eck> r4nge: i hope you know sed :-)
[11:28] <riqz> bruenig: no i cant /cry wtf
[11:28] <shatrat> WannabeNewbie, google maps? Google earth?
[11:28] <r4nge> yeah, discovered sed last night
[11:28] <Pricey> blahblah, That is Beryl or Compiz. They're beta and unstable. NOT recommended for beginners, support in #ubuntu-effects
[11:28] <goome> Anyone use rdesktop who could maybe answer this question? I have seamlessRDP but want to run more then 3 apps before the windows box says Exceeded maximum terminal sessions, anyway to increase that ?
[11:28] <riqz> bruenig: i dont want a desktop icon with  -->
[11:28] <riqz> </scr as a name
[11:28] <r4nge> but thought grep or awk would be easier
[11:28] <palbuddy> looks like hda2
[11:28] <GenieHost> hello every body, any multimedia software support .wpl play list?
[11:28] <bruenig> riqz, create a different icon
[11:28] <palbuddy> unless I'm missing something
[11:28] <WannabeNewbie> No software though? I know about the web based stuff, I was hoping for something software based
[11:28] <r4nge> i've been using the rute book to learn
[11:28] <mentaluproar> boot must be stated at the end of the windows script, right?
[11:28] <blahblah> even tho is is a beta is there a location you know to download it or can i find it in the other irc chan
[11:28] <bruenig> palbuddy, ok that seems like a partition not a different hd though, that is the only reason it seems weird to me
[11:29] <eck> r4nge: you can't just do it with grep, you need sed/perl/python (awk?)
[11:29] <GenieHost> so the playlist from Windows Media not supported in linux?
[11:29] <mentaluproar> it ends at "chainloader +1"
[11:29] <bruenig> palbuddy, so there is nothing in /mnt/hda2
[11:29] <palbuddy> I'll try again brb
[11:29] <riqz> bruenig: for my hda1 drive?
[11:29] <r4nge> tried this... logip=`awk -F? '"/$url/" {print $1}' $LOG2`
[11:29] <thoreauputic> goome: that sounds like a windows limit - nothing to do with Linux
[11:29] <palbuddy> no there isn't
[11:29] <palbuddy> but there is that subdirectory
[11:30] <fallingdutch> anyone familiar with lx-office? i need help with ssl connection to postgres
[11:30] <bruenig> riqz, you realize that the desktop shortcuts are just symlinks, you can create that however you want
[11:30] <palbuddy> that's called hda2
[11:30] <r4nge> that grabs it but will grab if anything matches
[11:30] <ataq> hey, where is thunderbird user files stored?
[11:30] <GenieHost> I am talking about .wpl playlist file
[11:30] <bruenig> palbuddy, odd
[11:30] <titus> blahblah: see http://wiki.beryl-project.org/index.php/Install/Ubuntu/Edgy/XGL
[11:30] <r4nge> so if port matches it grabs it
[11:30] <blahblah> TY!
[11:30] <GenieHost> it's not supported by any software in linux?
[11:30] <GenieHost> it's just xml file
[11:30] <palbuddy> it's a western digital 200 gb HD
[11:30] <riqz> bruenig: i realize now that you tell me. I still think its weird that it would change on its own/... how do i make a new one
[11:30] <r4nge> $url being a command line argument
[11:31] <r4nge> i'm a rookie so been trying various stuff
[11:31] <yomm> I want an Ubuntu T-shirt :- I like the logo !
[11:31] <thoreauputic> ataq: you probably mean ~/.mozilla-thunderbird
[11:31] <palbuddy> suppose the HD is not working....can I format it, and then dump files into mnt/hda2?
[11:31] <mentaluproar> ok, menu.lst is read-only.  How do I change the permissions?
[11:31] <bruenig> riqz, something like, ln -s /mount/point/of/hda1 ~/Desktop/nameoflink
[11:31] <ataq> Thanks mate
[11:31] <titus> yomm: the ubuntu logo is rubbish compared to plan9
[11:31] <eck> ouch, i don't know awk. i _think_ in python you would have something like (\d\.){4}:\d+\? and then use .group()[0]  or whatever extracts the matched part
[11:31] <eletido> when i do "sudo apt-get upgrade", i get "The following packages have been kept back:
[11:32] <eletido>   linux-image-386 linux-restricted-modules-386
[11:32] <eletido> ". However, when I use the update manager, it wants to install those packages. which app is right?
[11:32] <yomm> sudo apt-get knit Ubuntu-T-Shirt
[11:32] <thoreauputic> mentaluproar: you don't, you edit with sudo/gksudo <your editor>
[11:32] <evn> mdadm raid broken on feisty herd5?
[11:32] <mentaluproar> doh
[11:32] <eck> err, i guess it would be (\d.){3}\d:\d+\?
[11:32] <eck> that's wrong too
[11:32] <eck> well, you get the idea
[11:33] <eck> you try out twenty regexes until you overcome your stupidity
[11:33] <jrib> eck: #ubuntu+1 for feisty
[11:33] <g333k_work> hi, can I install the normal ubuntu in a AMD mobile sempron processor?
[11:33] <thoreauputic> mentaluproar: changing permissions of system files is generally A bad Idea (tm)
[11:33] <riqz> bruenig: i cant delete the old icon
[11:33] <bruenig> !icons
[11:33] <ubotu> Want to see volume/trash icons on the desktop? Go to /apps/nautilus/desktop in gconf-editor (Gnome) or go to http://kudos.berlios.de/kf/kisimlar/tipsntrix.html#showtrash (KDE)
[11:33] <titus> I would venture to say that plan9 is the OS with the finest logo bar none
[11:33] <r4nge> okie, will look into that, was hoping for a simpler solution, heh
[11:33] <r4nge> t
[11:33] <r4nge> tx
[11:33] <Guychi> Hi! Is there a way I can truncate a file in place? E.g. chop off the first 1GB of a large file, when I don't have enough free disk space to dd the rest of it first?
[11:33] <cafuego__> g333k_work: yes
[11:33] <palbuddy> okay well gotta go! thanks for the help....I'll be back!
[11:33] <thoreauputic> Guychi:  man split :)
[11:34] <mikeconcepts2> where do I find the nvidia restricted drivers
[11:34] <bruenig> riqz, you have to select for the icon to not be automatically put on the desktop in gconf-editor, so do "gconf-editor" and then navigate to /apps/nautilus/desktop and turn that off. I am not 100% sure on the navigate part because I am on xfce.
[11:34] <jrib> !nvidia | mikeconcepts2
[11:34] <ubotu> mikeconcepts2: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:34] <Guychi> thoreauputic: I mean _in place_
[11:34] <thoreauputic> Guychi: umm, split will split your file - I don't follow you
[11:35] <Guychi> thoreauputic: not create new files, but operate on the original.
[11:35] <mentaluproar> ok, I forget how to use the Vi editor
[11:35] <yomm> What are actually the main/biggest differences between Debian & Ubuntu ?
[11:35] <mentaluproar> how else can I change the menu.lst?
[11:35] <jrib> mentaluproar: nano
[11:35] <g333k_work> cafuego, ok
[11:35] <darkyoshi372> yomm: ease of use
[11:35] <OMGLAZERS> Any ntfs-3g users in here? I need help automounting ntfs drives using ntfs-3g at startup
[11:35] <thoreauputic> Guychi: ah, you want to split without using extra disk space ? I don't know then
[11:35] <yomm> darkyoshi :p
[11:36] <darkyoshi372> it's true!
[11:36] <mentaluproar> AHH!  thank you!
[11:36] <thoreauputic> mentaluproar: sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:36] <Terrasque> yomm: its the difference between a big pile of lego and an already made lego model :p
[11:36] <eshaase> my system lags when i switch between desktops that have maximized windows open, can someone point me in the right direction?
[11:36] <yomm> darkyoshi : ok :) I was thinking more technical , as in why  to use debian packages in Ubuntu etc..
[11:37] <yomm> *not to use
[11:37] <yomm> Terrasque : That's good , I love Lego
[11:37] <Terrasque> yomm: which means its very handy if your goal is that lego model, but twice the work if you have something special on your mind :p
[11:37] <eletido> when i do "sudo apt-get upgrade", linux-image-386 linux-restricted-modules-386 are help back. Are they safe to install through the update manager?
[11:37] <GenieHost> any multimedia software support .wpl play list?
[11:37] <yomm> Terrasque : I used to love technic Lego :) Actually , I still do :)
[11:37] <Gorgapor> I seem to have messed up my gnome and X configuration, is there a simple way to reset gnome to "factory" settings
[11:37] <Terrasque> yomm: lego is king! :D
[11:38] <mentaluproar> Ok, I add "boot" at the end of the windows thing, right?
[11:38] <yomm> too bad Lego has changed soo much
[11:38] <yomm> this is the Lego channel , right ?

[11:42] <AzraelM> that page does not helped me solve my resolution problem, think I should ask for help at the forum?
[11:43] <thoreauputic> mentaluproar: you backed up your old menu.lst before editing it, of course ?
[11:43] <clouder`grr> I use exaile! for my music.  It's still under heavy development though
[11:43] <Cave`> okay
[11:43] <mentaluproar> no, but I remember how toi undo it, and I can still boot to ubuntu
[11:43] <pzmoma>  lol  http://youtube.com/watch?v=mxq2QbMg-H8
[11:44] <pzmoma> used that to check my firefox flash plugin and yup it installed perfectly
[11:44] <pzmoma> sound and all
[11:45] <thoreauputic> mentaluproar: the windows stanza is usually just a chainloader +1 , make active  IIRC ( I don't use windows)
[11:45] <mentaluproar> ok
[11:45] <mentaluproar> one moment
[11:46] <jrib> the default one
[11:46] <Gorgapor> question: what's the best way to reset gnome to its default configuration?
[11:47] <Flannel> Gorgapor: What did you change?
[11:47] <jrib> Gorgapor: delete/rename  ~/.gnome* ~/.gconf*
[11:47] <mentaluproar> same problem.  Maybe windows isn't on hd(0,0)
[11:47] <thoreauputic> mentaluproar: http://www.linuxselfhelp.com/gnu/grub/html_chapter/grub_4.html
[11:47] <Gorgapor> Flannel, i was trying to get beryl to work, and now metacity doesn't start along with gnome
[11:47] <mentaluproar> before I installed ubuntu, I installed windows on drive D instead of C (partitions.  only one drive)
[11:47] <Flannel> mentaluproar: You're adding this at the end of your menu.lst, right?  (after the "End debian automagic kernels" comment?)
[11:47] <Gorgapor> but i don't want to change how i have my panels and menus set up
[11:48] <Marc1> Hi! I got problem installing crossover office. when i try to install it on my computer wich runs with amd 64 bits, it gives me the message "The setup program seems to have failed on libc6-i386" Anyone knows how to resolve this problem?
[11:48] <mentaluproar> yes
[11:48] <Flannel> Gorgapor: ah, yeah.  Removing your startup should work.  Although, I don't know what you change for beryl.  If that doesn't, try asking in #ubuntu-effects
[11:48] <Gorgapor> removing my startup?
[11:48] <clouder`grr> Gorgapor: have you tried booting into the fail safe gnome and disabling beryl in start up?
[11:48] <Flannel> mentaluproar: Well, you should verify what HDD and partition windows are on
[11:48] <Gorgapor> i've disabled beryl
[11:49] <mentaluproar> same hdd, what partition?
[11:49] <mentaluproar> how?
[11:49] <thoreauputic> mentaluproar: your problem is that windows doesn't like to boot from anything but the primary master I think
[11:49] <Flannel> Gorgapor: the .gnome/ and .gconf folders.  But yes, failsafe gnome should d the same thing.
[11:49] <theherbalizer> hey guys. problem: usb ain't working anymore. it would automount my flash drives and phone last week, but now it does nothing when i plug usb devices in. i don't even know where to begin, so i came to you for ideas. have any?
[11:49] <Flannel> thoreauputic: no, you can boot windows fine most of the time.  And, that wouldn't give you a GRUB error anyway
[11:49] <Gorgapor> brb gonna try some of that stuff out
[11:49] <pzmoma> sudo udevmonitor && plug device in
[11:49] <Flannel> mentaluproar: Open up "disks" to look
[11:50] <pzmoma> heh
[11:50] <thoreauputic> Flannel: it wouldn't give a grub error as such, but you need to do some fancy swapping in menu.lst IIRC
[11:50] <theherbalizer> pzmoma: who was that for?
[11:50] <pzmoma> automount uses udev
[11:50] <Flannel> thoreauputic: just mapping harddrives, yeah, hardly fancy.  But again, that's not the cause of this error.
[11:50] <pzmoma> it might help u figure out whats going on
[11:51] <thoreauputic> Flannel: OK - well as I said I don't use windows, so I'll leave you to it :)
[11:51] <pzmoma> hmm i wonder if u can use  udevmonitor not as root?
[11:51] <mentaluproar> I'm in tansition, so I still need windows
[11:51] <erUSUL> Marc1: you need 32 bits libraries... try this 'sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk linux32 lib32asound2'
[11:51] <pzmoma> nope gotta be root
[11:51] <SnakesAndStuff> Hello.  I'm new to Ubuntu (not new to linux) and I was curious if I could get some help getting Beryl loading (using an ATI card... when it loads it defaults back to the backup window manager)
[11:51] <thoreauputic> mentaluproar: yeah, understood
[11:51] <Flannel> SnakesAndStuff: #ubuntu-effects for beryl support
[11:51] <mentaluproar> accessing disks....how?
[11:51] <sean> downloading  linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-10-generic  is VERY VERY slow, how can i speed it up?
[11:51] <SnakesAndStuff> Thank you
[11:51] <sean> like download from a second source perhaps?
[11:52] <lonran> anybody with an ati card, could tell me the command to open the ati linux control panel?
[11:52] <Flannel> mentaluproar: there's a "disks" something or other in one of the System menus (I don't know which one)
[11:52] <thoreauputic> sean: use a different Ubuntu repo mirror perhaps
[11:52] <mentaluproar> nope
[11:52] <sean> thoreauputic: how would i change that?
[11:52] <dark-nite> hello
[11:52] <mentaluproar> I think it was there while in live mode, but not after installed
[11:52] <dark-nite> does anyone know where i can get automatix please?
[11:53] <Flannel> dark-nite: You don't want it.
[11:53] <thoreauputic> !automatix
[11:53] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[11:53] <thoreauputic> dark-nite: don't
[11:53] <Flannel> mentaluproar: It is there after installed.  Uh, bother.  Times like these I wish I had a GUI.
[11:53] <dark-nite> ok then
[11:53] <holycow> just out of curiosity, anyone here have expereience with openvpn?
[11:53] <holycow> client wise
[11:53] <dark-nite> please could you help me then? lol
[11:53] <Flannel> mentaluproar: Look for anything that looks like a disk-ish sort of thing.  I believe it's in the "administration" submenu
[11:53] <Flannel> dark-nite: what do you need help with?

[11:54] <caffinated> hi.  has anyone had an issue with ubuntu where when you switch to a VT (ctrl-alt-f1, etc) from X that the console is broken?  It looks like it's not switching in to a text mode properly.  it looks like it's in a distorted graphics mode.

[11:56] <Anohaakten> does linux have itunes?
[11:56] <mentaluproar> edgy
[11:56] <thoreauputic> sean: most repos are of the same form - you just have your country code prepended to the archive.ubuntu.com part
[11:56] <sly007> Flannel: is update-alternatives an Ubuntu thing?
[11:56] <eck> Anohaakten: no
[11:56] <PirateHead> meantaluproar: that's System -> Administration, not System -> Preferences
[11:56] <mentaluproar> oops
[11:56] <sean> thoreauputic: how do i change my source though?
[11:56] <Traveler1> hi, trying to install from USB. Following the directions linked from here. I've restarted and am booting from the disk but I get: "NTLDR is missing Press Ctrl+Ald+Del to restart." Any advice?
[11:56] <eck> Anohaakten: there are a lot of itunes-like programs though
[11:56] <PirateHead> dark-nite: lemme look quick
[11:56] <Jowi> caffinated, that is possible. depending on what hardware you are using the framebuffer might be distorted. I would suggest setting the framebuffer resolution to the same one you use in xorg.
[11:56] <jrib> sly007: it's a debian thing
[11:56] <Flannel> sly007: it's a debian thing, so sure
[11:56] <Anohaakten> Does it have an equivalent to itunes?
[11:56] <eletido> when i do "sudo apt-get upgrade", linux-image-386 linux-restricted-modules-386 are help back. Are they safe to install through the update manager?
[11:56] <thoreauputic> sean: edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[11:56] <mentaluproar> nope, nothing there either
[11:56] <eletido> held*
[11:56] <eck> Anohaakten: there are a couple, but none of them are very good at exporting to ipod
[11:57] <Flannel> sly007: basically, when a program wants to use a browser, it calls "sensible-browser", which figures out the most appropraite (based on your choices, and whether you're in X or not),
[11:57] <Anohaakten> ahh
[11:57] <Jowi> caffinated, the framebuffer is not text mode.
[11:57] <Anohaakten> that stinks
[11:57] <caffinated> Jowi: it's a radeon x1600 if that helps (laptop) - will have a poke at that.  thanks.
[11:57] <barker> whats the command to see what display driver i am using?
[11:57] <theherbalizer> hey guys. problem: usb ain't working anymore. it would automount my flash drives and phone last week, but now it does nothing when i plug usb devices in. i don't even know where to begin, so i came to you for ideas. have any?
[11:57] <thoreauputic> sean: back it up first to be safe, so you can replace it if you make a mistake
[11:57] <eck> Anohaakten: you can use gtkpod, which works pretty well, but it's a fary cry from itunes imho
[11:57] <toNt> would someone be ablet o get me a hand. im going through hell trying to get my monitor to run in 1280x1024. i believe the nvidia drivers are installed but im not sure.
[11:57] <Jowi> !framebuffer | caffinated (see bottom of page)
[11:57] <ubotu> caffinated (see bottom of page): If you would like information on framebuffers, please visit: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer
[11:57] <PirateHead> Anohaakten: you can run iTunes using Wine, or you can use Rhythmbox or Amarok, both of which have capabilities and interfaces similar to iTunes.
[11:57] <dark-nite> thx pirate
[11:57] <Flannel> eletido: yeah, update them manually
[11:57] <eletido> Flannel: thanks.
[11:57] <caffinated> ubotu: i'll look at that as well.  thanks.

[11:58] <theherbalizer> Anohaakten: no
[11:58] <PirateHead> Anohaakten: no.
[11:58] <eck> hmm, last i checked itunes did not run in wine
[11:58] <Anohaakten> I mean, does it run apps slow? or run them perfect
[11:58] <Anohaakten> ok, then ill look into that
[11:58] <Anohaakten> thx guys
[11:58] <PirateHead> eck: the latest versions of iTunes do not run on wine.
[11:58] <theherbalizer> Anohaakten: in fact, i'm getting higher fps in wow with wine/edgy than i did on windows
[11:58] <eck> that must be it then
[11:58] <Anohaakten> serious?
[11:58] <PirateHead> eck: I think iTunes 4 runs on Wine, which is pretty outdated.
[11:59] <Anohaakten> thats pretty impressive theherbalizer
[11:59] <PirateHead> the latest is iTunes 7, right?
[11:59] <toNt> would someone be ablet o get me a hand. im going through hell trying to get my monitor to run in 1280x1024. i believe the nvidia drivers are installed but im not sure.
[11:59] <Anohaakten> yes PirateHead iTunes 7 is the latest
[11:59] <dark-nite> pirate can we Pm eachopther instead please?
[11:59] <Anohaakten> It doesnt run in wine?
[11:59] <mentaluproar> using device manager, I thinkm I found windows
[11:59] <hardwire_> blah
[11:59] <PirateHead> yeah, so you might have to put up with old software if you go the wine route, Anohaakten
[11:59] <mentaluproar> volume name "zero"
[11:59] <Anohaakten> blah
[11:59] <mentaluproar> ok, now what?
[11:59] <Anohaakten> ill pass on that
[12:00] <eck> Anohaakten: if you're lucky, banshee will work for you
[12:00] <PirateHead> Anohaakten: your primary concern is interfacing with your iPod?
[12:00] <Flannel> mentaluproar: Eh?  i don't believe so.  Are you using LVM or anything like that?
[12:00] <eck> there is a bug in the parser though, so it will choke on files with bad metadata
[12:00] <Jowi> toNt, "glxinfo | grep direct" in a terminal should tell you if it is enabled or not...
[12:00] <Anohaakten> not so much
[12:00] <eck> that is the problem i have had with it
[12:00] <toNt> k
[12:00] <Flannel> mentaluproar: install "gparted" and you'll be able to see.  I guess there's no partition viewer thing by default
[12:00] <Anohaakten> I would like it to, but my primary concern is sorting my music out :)
[12:00] <Flannel> mentaluproar: just don't change anything ;)
[12:00] <bigjohnto> when connecting a tape drive is it really important to create the stinit.def file?
[12:00] <mentaluproar> LVM?  i dunno, but a while back I screwed up my partitions, so I got usaed to windows not being on C
[12:01] <dark-nite> if someone can help me get my wireless internet connection up and running please PM me :D
[12:01] <PirateHead> Anohaakten: if your primary desire is a slick music organizer/player, then Amarok is great.
