[12:04] <noelferreira> hi people. i use wireless driver rt61 and edgy amd64. every time i try to config the file /etc/network/interfaces my system won't start up. i have to delete the file and bring up ra0 manually with dhcp every time i reboot. any help?
[12:04] <billy> how can I make sure my desktop acceleration is working?
[12:04] <PriceChild> Cyrus25801, #ubuntu-effects please and i'll explain
[12:04] <shatrat> adrian_, well we're at the part where it says "Next is to install the actual dcpp program ....." in the how-to
[12:04] <adrian_> shatrat: what do I type in?
[12:04] <Flannel> Cyrus25801: #ubuntu-effects for Beryl support

[12:04] <PriceChild> billy, glxinfo | grep direct
[12:04] <Wooksta> seveas, ok thanks i'll give that a try
[12:05] <Andune> jowi:  yeah, well Windows likes it and I'm not ready to give it up on my game machine yet.  So for now Ubuntu has to co-exist, and ot do that, it has to play nice with fakeraid.
[12:05] <bulmer> Seveas do you happen to have a tutorial on how to get FreeNX working server/client  ? am getting stuck at placing the correct key where..
[12:05] <billy> Pricechild: thank you.
[12:05] <adrian_> shatrat: so I type in: cd ~/linuxdcpp?
[12:05] <shatrat> adrian_, tar -xzf linuxdcpp.tar.gz or you can just right click it in nautilus and extract here
[12:05] <shatrat> adrian_, do that once youve extracted the archive to create linuxdcpp. right now its compressed
[12:05] <Jowi> Andune, I was only joking. no need to defend yourself

[12:07] <robbie_crash> I have an issue with a bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo. When I first start up my machine, I have to immideately type something (ie my login) then my keyboard and mouse stop responding until I unplug and replug my bluetooth hub, then they work normally. It seems like I've got about 3 or 4 seconds to type before it stops responding, and if I don't, then it refuses to respond and I need to reboot
[12:07] <adrian_> shatrat: ok, now I have extarcted it by doubleklicking on it in my folder, whats's next?
[12:07] <Wooksta> to check for updates (new versions of installed programs) is it apt-get update or apt-get upgrade?
[12:07] <null_> update
[12:07] <PriceChild> Wooksta, one then the other
[12:07] <null_> o.o
[12:07] <Loonatic64> ok ive been to the forum, and am still a little confused.    how do i mount my NTFS drive in ubuntu?
[12:07] <null_> learn something new every day
[12:08] <null_> Loonatic64, for read and write support you must install ntfs-3g
[12:08] <Wooksta> PriceChild, in the order i just gave? :P
[12:08] <null_> Loonatic64, for read-only support, that's built in.
[12:08] <PriceChild> Wooksta, update refreshes your local package lists... upgrade attempts to use the lists to upgrade packages
[12:08] <PriceChild> Wooksta, yes
[12:08] <Jowi> jksigurd, you might have better luck with the alternate cd. it's not a live cd but generally works better on some hardware.
[12:08] <l2s> Anywhere to go for reasonably priced paid support for an ubuntu install
[12:08] <Gonzo> HOLA, ALGUIEN HABLA ESPAOL?
[12:08] <l2s> I just need to get this working
[12:08] <shatrat> adrian_, I think if you double click it it just shows you waht is in it? oh well, if you can "cd linuxdcpp" then youre ready to compile
[12:08] <Wooksta> PriceChild, ah ok cool
[12:08] <alienseer23> how do you include upgrades to update?
[12:08] <BigMac> Seveas:Did you get my pm?
[12:08] <l2s> I can paypal
[12:09] <robbie_crash> Loonatic64: but ntfs write support is iffy at best. you can break your whole drive with write support. Read is fine though.
[12:09] <null_> l2s, how difficult?
[12:09] <null_> robbie_crash, that is incorrect.
[12:09] <Loonatic64> ya all i want is read
[12:09] <adrian_> shatrat: I have extraced it in my default folder

[12:09] <ubotu> l2s: For your support options, see http://www.ubuntu.com/support For IRC support, join #ubuntu / #kubuntu / #xubuntu etc
[12:09] <null_> robbie_crash, ntfs-3g developers insist they have experienced no data loss in their development so far.
[12:09] <jksigurd> Jowi: can I still use gparted to set up my partitions with the alternate CD?
[12:09] <Loonatic64> i can read my fat32 but cannot read my NTFS
[12:09] <l2s> have a 3ware raid card 2 port ide, i installed ubuntu 6.06 server, i get this error and it stops booting at Running Local Boot Scripts (etc/rc.local)
[12:09] <alienseer23> I want to upgrade a system from dapper to edgy, how do I install the upgrade without cd?
[12:09] <Flannel> l2s: Try the alternate CD, it has some additional HW support from the server CD.  You can do a "server" install from there (that has no GUI), and then install lamp manually
[12:09] <Flannel> !upgrade | alienseer23
[12:09] <ubotu> alienseer23: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[12:09] <F00> hey
[12:09] <Gonzo> HOLAAAAAAAAAAAA
[12:09] <shatrat> adrian_, ok great, cd into that directory now and then run "sudo scons" and it will compile for you.  A whole bunch of stuff will fly up the terminal and you can feel like pro software expert.
[12:10] <Flannel> !es | Gonzo
[12:10] <ubotu> Gonzo: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[12:10] <null_> Loonatic64, NTFS is a screwed-up filesystem and you may have trouble reading/writing to it if the drive needs to be booted in Windows.  sometimes, twice!  i recommend installing ntfs-3g for much better support
[12:10] <Jowi> jksigurd, not gparted since the alternate cd is text based install. but it has got a very good partitioner in it.
[12:10] <l2s> sigh
[12:10] <robbie_crash> null_ that's the first I've heard of anyone saying that ntfs support is safe to use
[12:10] <jake222> I need help setting up my xorg.conf so that i can install 2 monitors, monitor 1 is a tv and its own x server, and monitor 2 as dvi and its own xserver.

[12:10] <shatrat> adrian_, by the way, im running it right now. ;D
[12:10] <adrian_> shatrat: i typed in "cd ~/linuxdcpp" and the result was ":~/linuxdcpp$", now what?
[12:10] <Kazz> Does anyone here know much about EVMS?
[12:10] <h3h_timo> bulmer, i think i found something, do you know how to compile from svn?
[12:10] <shatrat> adrian_, sudo scons
[12:11] <K3nto> !ntfs-3g | Loonatic64
[12:11] <ubotu> Loonatic64: ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but please remember to keep backups of critical data.

[12:11] <arooni> how can i test if my audio recording works
[12:11] <Cyrus25801> PriceChild: are there any other graphical goodies i can use on dapper
[12:11] <Flannel> F00: Do you have internet?  did you add an "s"
[12:11] <arooni> meaning i can record audio or not...?
[12:11] <shatrat> adrian_, i need to go cook, so I might not respond imediately if you mssage me, you might want to go to #shatrat for further questions
[12:11] <kbrooks> jake222, maybe.
[12:11] <bulmer> h3h_timo: if you download the source with a Makefile, its not too difficult to compile it
[12:11] <adrian_> shatrat: result: "sudo scons command not found"?
[12:12] <F00> yes i have internet and i typed sudo apt-get install build-essential
[12:12] <adrian_> #shatrat
[12:12] <dimeotane> arooni: plug in a mic and try the soundrecorder under sound and video
[12:12] <null_> Loonatic64, you'll then want to follow these instructions for usage:  http://www.ntfs-3g.org/index.html#installation

[12:15] <bulmer> h3h_timo: whats svn again?
[12:15] <crimsun> arooni: so you need to select the proper element to capture. Have you followed wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems ?
[12:15] <wolferine> is ubuntu based on debian?
[12:15] <crimsun> wolferine: yes
[12:15] <h3h_timo> bulmer, subversion or whatever
[12:15] <bruenig> wolferine, yes
[12:15] <dimeotane> crimsun: nice... never seen that before
[12:15] <arooni> oh shoot
[12:15] <h3h_timo> bulmer, i think its where the newest source is
[12:15] <wolferine> ah, didnt realize that
[12:15] <bulmer> h3h_timo: not matter what, you must download the source
[12:15] <arooni> it works!!!
[12:15] <arooni> i changed it to OSS
[12:15] <wolferine> so I cannot install rpms?
[12:15] <bulmer> h3h_timo: and then compile
[12:15] <bruenig> oss is crap
[12:15] <jake222> OK to the forums
[12:15] <LadyNikon> wolferine: why would you want rpms?
[12:16] <arooni> bruenig: what should i use instead
[12:16] <bulmer> wolferine: there is alien to convert rpm to deb
[12:16] <h3h_timo> bulmer, will you look at these steps http://moto4lin.sourceforge.net/wiki/CVS_Installation and try to help me with it?
[12:16] <wolferine> what if I wanted Netbeans
[12:16] <bruenig> !alien
[12:16] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[12:16] <Thms> is there other things like vnc or freenx ?
[12:16] <dimeotane> arooni: a few machines have no recording.. it's broken.. use what you can =p
[12:16] <tieTYT2> hello I'm using this program to download things and it puts a .dctmp extention on files that are currently being downloaded.  I don't know what I did but now every time I click on them it opens up a warning saying something like, "this is really an avi file even though it has a dctmp extension.  It may be a security risk" and forces me to click the cancel button.  It never gave me this warning before.  How do I get it to just open this file
[12:16] <bulmer> wolferine: thats java eh?
[12:17] <wolferine> java is always an issue with linux, isnt it?
[12:17] <Flannel> wolferine: nope, java is in the repos
[12:17] <Flannel> !java | wolferine
[12:17] <ubotu> wolferine: 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
[12:17] <wolferine> javac isnt
[12:17] <tieTYT2> Flannel: that's not the latest
[12:17] <bulmer> wolferine: nope, not that i know of
[12:17] <bruenig> wolferine, if sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre is a problem
[12:17] <wolferine> so, all go back, can you install rpms in ubuntu, for example Netbeans?
[12:18] <Flannel> wolferine: help.ubuntu.com/community/RPM/AlienHowto
[12:18] <tieTYT2> wolferine: hassle wise, what's the difference between linux and windows for java?
[12:18] <bruenig> wolferine, netbeans comes in a .bin why don't you just use that
[12:18] <bulmer> h3h_timo: what happens when you followed those instructs? where do you get stucked?
[12:18] <h3h_timo> bulmer, i can do the first step, thats it
[12:18] <mirf> does anyone know what module I need to load to use fuji camera as a webcam?
[12:18] <bruenig> wolferine, do this: wget http://us1.mirror.netbeans.org/download/5_5/mlfcs/200612070100/netbeans-5_5-linux.bin && chmod +x netbeans-5_5-linux.bin && sudo ./netbeans-5_5-linux.bin
[12:18] <Flannel> tieTYT2: right, And neither is any of the other software in ubuntu, why is Java somehow a problem?
[12:19] <wolferine> wget as su?
[12:19] <tieTYT2> Flannel: you talking about the latest version of things?  Well java 6 is faster
[12:19] <bulmer> h3h_timo: just to download or starting using qmake?
[12:19] <p47> how can I install microsoft fonts on ubuntu _
[12:19] <p47> ?
[12:19] <bruenig> wolferine, no don't wget as su, just wget
[12:19] <bruenig> !sudo | wolferine
[12:19] <ubotu> wolferine: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[12:20] <wolferine> k, thank you
[12:20] <h3h_timo> no, when i have to type the cvs command
[12:20] <h3h_timo> bulmer, okay im past that part
[12:20] <wolferine> back to reading
[12:20] <tieTYT2> it also lets you run things compiled in version 1.6
[12:20] <tieTYT2> which getting 1.5 won't let you do
[12:20] <bulmer> h3h_timo: so which command you are getting stucked at?
[12:20] <bruenig> wolferine, basically here is what that says, there is no su, if you want to run something as root you just do "sudo command"
[12:20] <tieTYT2> anyway i have my own problem: hello I'm using this program to download things and it puts a .dctmp extention on files that are currently being downloaded.  I don't know what I did but now every time I click on them it opens up a warning saying something like, "this is really an avi file even though it has a dctmp extension.  It may be a security risk" and forces me to click the cancel button.  It never gave me this warning before.  How do I
[12:21] <wolferine> im just use to Madnriva
[12:21] <wolferine> so writing su instead of sudo is just less keys :)
[12:21] <slicslak> so.... does my box know about the new time change tomorrow?  (being as it is different than previous years)
[12:21] <h3h_timo> bulmer, now i need to install qmake
[12:21] <Flannel> tieTYT2: Both Dapper and Edgy have java6 in the repos
[12:21] <h3h_timo> what is the package name for that?
[12:21] <liex26> ubuntu cd loads but the screen is mirrored and overlapping
[12:21] <lysol> libberylsettings: dlopen: /usr/lib/beryl/libbench.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[12:21] <lysol> Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[12:21] <lysol> lysol@duece-o-nigity:~$
[12:21] <tieTYT2> ok so i guess the bot was out of date then
[12:21] <bruenig> h3h_timo, probably just wants make
[12:21] <Flannel> slicslak: If you're updated, yeah.  (If you've updated a few months ago, probably).
[12:21] <rwxr-xr--> !echat
[12:21] <bulmer> h3h_timo: then install it, what are you waiting for?  :)
[12:21] <liex26> makes it difficult to read... anyone know how to fix this?
[12:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about echat - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:22] <robbie_crash> I have an issue with a bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo. When I first start up my machine, I have to immideately type something (ie my login) then my keyboard and mouse stop responding until I unplug and replug my bluetooth hub, then they work normally. It seems like I've got about 3 or 4 seconds to type before it stops responding, and if I don't, then it refuses to respond and I need to reboot
[12:22] <bruenig> lysol, #ubuntu-effects
[12:22] <lysol> why do i get that when running beryl-xgl
[12:22] <p47> do you know where are saved the images of my contacts in the amsn ?
[12:22] <p47> do you know where are saved the images of my contacts in the amsn ?
[12:22] <Flannel> slicslak: `zdump -v /etc/localtime | grep 2007`  will let you know
[12:22] <bruenig> p47, probably in something like ~/.amsn I don't have amsn but I assume
[12:22] <monica> Hi Im tring to download off oflime.wire howcome i can't hear any thing on my monitors

[12:25] <timthelion> hey,  I have ubuntu edgy on this computer, and a laptop runnig debian sid.
[12:26] <timthelion> I have an ethernet card on both
[12:26] <khaije> i have a question may be OT...
[12:26] <bruenig> rwxr-xr--, http://echat.deep.perm.ru/
[12:26] <slavik> !ask
[12:26] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:26] <timthelion> I want to make the two connected
[12:26] <timthelion> so I can do vnc
[12:26] <Aarohi> hey how do i make all the users access the drives mounted by fstab?
[12:26] <slavik> timthelion: ad-hoc?
[12:26] <timthelion> slavik I guess.
[12:26] <AVN`> how do I add  a  screen resolution, mine is too small
[12:26] <timthelion> slavik I just want my ubuntu comp to have an ip on the laptop
[12:26] <vik> Hello.
[12:27] <slavik> timthelion: you need a crossover cable for starters
[12:27] <ramza3> if I make a change to xorg.conf, how can I reload the changes (log out?)
[12:27] <khaije> i'm looking to buy a new tablet and am not sure how to verify which parts of all the bells and whistles will work w/ ubuntu, for example, the HDD accelorameter protector... any ideas?
[12:27] <BeepAU> does anyone here have the MCP51 chipset?
[12:27] <slavik> timthelion: you have to set IPs manually
[12:27] <timthelion> slavik, I do? with ethernet?
[12:27] <jrib> ramza3: log out, press ctrl-alt-backspace
[12:27] <Aarohi> hey how do i make all the users access the drives mounted by fstab?
[12:27] <ramza3> jrib, what is ctrl-alt-backspace ?
[12:27] <slavik> timthelion: computer to computer calls for a crossover ethernet cable, not straight like you would towards a router ...
[12:27] <l2s> ALmost totally standard hardware and it wont boot
[12:27] <jrib> ramza3: restarts X
[12:27] <eck> generally you don't need crossover cable for modern ethernet cards, regular ethernet cable will do
[12:27] <eck> the nic will figure it out
[12:27] <timthelion> oh, why?
[12:28] <slavik> eck: not all NICs are smart ;)
[12:28] <AVN`> how do I change my screen resolution?
[12:28] <slavik> eck: I was also no aware that NICs can do it ...
[12:28] <Aarohi> eck, you need crossover cables if similar devices are being paired... ie.. pc with pc.
[12:28] <eck> it's just a reordering of the pins, my understanding is that most (modern) nics will know how to do this
[12:29] <wolferine> bruenig: worked all fine, until it found there is no JDK installed
[12:29] <slavik> eck: 'most' and 'modern' are not exact terms ;)
[12:29] <Megaqwerty> can I write a tar file to an ntfs partition using ntfs-3g?
[12:29] <crimsun> Megaqwerty: you can write whatever you want if you use ntfs-3g
[12:29] <slavik> Megaqwerty: you can write anything to ntfs with ntfs-3g :)
[12:29] <bruenig> wolferine, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
[12:29] <timthelion> well, anyway, when I installed dhcp3-server
[12:29] <timthelion> it said it failed to start
[12:29] <Megaqwerty> W007!
[12:29] <Aarohi> how do i make all the users access the drives mounted by fstab?
[12:29] <timthelion> but I cannot find a more verbose error message
[12:29] <Aarohi> anyone?
[12:29] <bruenig> wolferine, or java5 if you want, nothing much has been said about java6 so I don't know how great it is
[12:29] <slavik> Megaqwerty: it's "w00t!" ...
[12:30] <bruenig> !1337
[12:30] <ubotu> 1337 i5 nigh-inc0mpr3h3n5ib13 70 u5 n00bs, 4nd n0b0dy c4r35 if UR 4 1337 h4x0r. Giv3 i7 4 r357.
[12:30] <slavik> :D
[12:30] <wolferine> so, can you not do sudo apt-get install java, and it searches for any java it fins?
[12:30] <h3h_timo> bulmer, i cant use qmake
[12:30] <h3h_timo> i dont know how to run it
[12:30] <wolferine> or do you use something other than "install" ?
[12:30] <bruenig> wolferine, no you can't believe me that would be a bad idea
[12:30] <vik> I have a problem. I just loaded the i386 version of ubuntu. It loads all the way up to the splash screen as soon as the splash screen is dont it shows a cursor in the top left of the screen for 1-2 seconds and then hangs. I have ZERO linux experience. I am trying to learn but can't even get it to load!!!!!! I've searched all over and can't seem to find an answer. What do I do?!?!
[12:31] <bruenig> wolferine, if you just want to search you can do apt-cache search java
[12:31] <bulmer> h3h_timo: i'll be back shortly..
[12:31] <wolferine> i dont even see sun-java-*** listed
[12:31] <murph2481> now that i have desktop effects enabled how do i do that cube desktop switch thing?
[12:31] <slavik> vik: what type of mouse? have you tried booting to single user mode and running 'startx' ?
[12:32] <AVN`> how do i compare too files?
[12:32] <slavik> murph2481: ctrl+alt+mb1 and move the mouse :)
[12:32] <timthelion> so I need a crossover cable, that's the dumbest thing I've heard all week
[12:32] <slavik> AVN`: man diff
[12:32] <h3h_timo> does anyone know how to install qmake??
[12:32] <vik> slavik: umm, i am using the touchpad on the machine
[12:32] <murph2481> slavik mbl?
[12:32] <slavik> timthelion: blame Xerox PARC :)
[12:32] <wolferine> do I need to setup my repos. better?
[12:32] <vik> slavik: what is startx?
[12:32] <slavik> murph2481: Mosue Button 1
[12:32] <wolferine> so I can search more locations?
[12:32] <slavik> vik: a script that starts the GUI :)
[12:33] <slavik> !repos > wolferine
[12:33] <murph2481> slavik nope nothin....
[12:33] <vik> slavik: oh, how do i do that?
[12:33] <murph2481> cntl alt arrow changes desktops but no cool effect
[12:34] <slavik> vik: 1sec
[12:34] <wolferine> so THAT is what I need to do, to get java?
[12:34] <vik> slavik: k thanks
[12:34] <slavik> murph2481: hold the mouse button down ...
[12:34] <wolferine> setup the repos?
[12:34] <slavik> vik: when you boot up, the GRUB menu is displayed with options, correct?
[12:34] <dxdt> wolferine, to get java it is like sudo apt-get install java but setting up the repos is pretty easy.  Once you do it once you never need to again and you can do it manually or graphically using Synaptic
[12:34] <murph2481> slavik nope nothin...
[12:34] <slavik> vik: or something like 'press Esc to enter GRUB menu' or some such
[12:35] <slavik> murph2481: what card and driver?
[12:35] <wolferine> so, since its not listed in apt-cache search java, then I have to setup my repos differently?
[12:35] <wolferine> also, can I add in a cooker repos?
[12:35] <murph2481> ? dell laptop and just running fiesty fawn didn't change anything just saw the new option for desktop effects
[12:35] <vik> slavik: yep, it says: ***** kernel 10. something, then *****kernel 10.something (recovery), then windows xp
[12:36] <slavik> the recovery one
[12:36] <rwxr-xr--> When i try to Run ./configure its give me error "checking for C++ compiler default output file name... configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables "
[12:36] <slavik> murph2481: /join #ubuntu+1 :)
[12:36] <murph2481> slavik the windows effects and stuff work...just not the desktop switching
[12:36] <slavik> murph2481: /join #ubuntu+1 :)
[12:36] <wo1ferine> !easyresource
[12:36] <slavik> !feisty
[12:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about easyresource - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:36] <timthelion> slavik, if I am doing PC to PC but the ubuntu box is a router, than it should not matter. the only problem I think is making the ubuntu box into a router.
[12:36] <ubotu> The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn"), it should be released in April 2007. At the moment it is alpha.

[12:37] <Marupa> Anyone here deal with video capture devices?
[12:37] <timthelion> I need to have more verbose error messages on why dhcp3 is failing to start though
[12:37] <nalioth> wo1ferine: did you mean to /msg ubotu easysource  ?
[12:37] <wo1ferine> sure
[12:37] <wo1ferine> lets try that
[12:37] <slavik> timthelion: try a reg cable, if it doesn't work, don't blame me, someone already stated a reason for using crossover cable
[12:38] <Stormx2> are there any minimum specs for beryl?
[12:38] <pwnzorz> hi, i'm installing wubi!
[12:38] <Marupa> pretty much 1Ghz/32MB ram vcard.
[12:38] <slavik> vik: did you get to the point where it prints something like "root@blah$" ???
[12:38] <dxdt> wolferine, to add repos, the easiest way, though not the only way, is to go into Synaptic under System >> Admistration >> Synaptic.  In there go to setting then repositories and you can enable more and such.
[12:38] <Stormx2> Blah, I'm on 16mb..
[12:38] <wo1ferine> is BEryl still a backport?
[12:38] <wo1ferine> or has it been released?
[12:38] <PriceChild> !beryl
[12:38] <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
[12:38] <rwxr-xr--> When i try to Run ./configure its give me error "checking for C++ compiler default output file name... configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables "
[12:38] <pwnzorz> does wubi install in windows environment?
[12:39] <PriceChild> Stormx2, wolferine #ubuntu-effects please
[12:39] <ant> #ubuntu-effects
[12:39] <wo1ferine> just a yes or no would suffice

[12:39] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wubi - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:39] <pwnzorz> ....he dont know... :*(
[12:39] <PriceChild> No need to be sorry Stormx2 :)
[12:39] <khaije> pwnzorz: ya i dont know what that is either
[12:40] <ant> Stormx2 : your liable to get more/better answers there
[12:40] <vik> slavik: Actually i have to reboot to try that let me get on IRC on my other machine. brb
[12:40] <pwnzorz> i do, its an installer for ubuntu that runs in windows j=)
[12:40] <dxdt> wolferine, I'm not sure personally whether it is in "backports" or not, but you can get it from repos.  I use the SVN repo for it.  In the next Ubuntu release  the 3d graphics stuff, though not Beryl--compiz, will be included but not on by default.
[12:40] <tomaszr> vnv

[12:41] <Marupa> kaktus, How so?
[12:41] <ant> Stormx2 : and people still laugh at me for using enlightenment
[12:41] <Stormx2> kaktus: Go ahead.
[12:42] <Stormx2> ant: I've used enlightenment on a livecd, but found it more annoying than functional
[12:42] <pwnzorz> im using wubi now, its kind of  slow, it uses bittorrent to grab the image from the web...
[12:42] <dragonriot> can any of you guys point me to where I might find a forum thread about using the debian kernel repositories for 2.6.20 kernel upgrade on Edgy?
[12:42] <kaktus> I have an external disk which has 320GB capacity. I run windows XP and want to take backup to the external disk so that I can use those files in Ubuntu
[12:42] <ShakaGoldSaint> !ssh
[12:42] <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/
[12:43] <rwxr-xr--> When i try to Run ./configure its give me error "checking for C++ compiler default output file name... configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables " what should i do? how to compile it
[12:43] <Marupa> kaktus, Why not just mount the NTFS partition?
[12:43] <F00> hmm
[12:43] <F00> now how do i start vnc
[12:43] <PriceChild> dragonriot, why do you want to upgrade the kernel?
[12:43] <greg> i lost my trash icon anyone know how to get it back??
[12:43] <kaktus> The problem is that windows won't let me format in to FAT32 because the partition would be bigger than 32GB
[12:43] <Flannel> greg: right click the panel > Add to Panel
[12:43] <pwnzorz> how do you guys get vnc to go over the web...
[12:43] <PriceChild> greg, right click>add to panel
[12:43] <slavik> greg: it's an applet, add it to a panel :)
[12:43] <Marupa> greg:  right click the bar, click add to panel.
[12:44] <Flannel> pwnzorz: ssh tunneling, usually
[12:44] <Stormx2> kaktus: So format it to another filesystem? FAT32 is pretty old and bad...
[12:44] <dragonriot> PriceChild, I've heard that ATI cards run better with 2.6.20 and beryl than 2.6.17-xx
[12:44] <kaktus> I need to be able to write to the  external disk in linux
[12:44] <wolferine> thx dxdt
[12:44] <pwnzorz> so no port forwarding?
[12:44] <dragonriot> PriceChild, would I be incorrect?
[12:44] <Tangee> offtopic but does anyone know why i got reverse caps lock?
[12:44] <F00> now how do i start vnc
[12:44] <bulmer> kaktus: you can resize it and then let ubuntu use the remainder
[12:44] <PriceChild> dragonriot, not a clue why the kernel would make a difference
[12:44] <dragonriot> no idea either...
[12:44] <Stormx2> Tangee: explain.
[12:44] <dxdt> Tangee, whoa
[12:44] <Stormx2> kaktus: Format it to ext3, or ntfs, whatever...
[12:44] <Oritemis_> ppl. I am having a problem in NAT service. Every time the other computer try to access internet, it becomes unstable and I start to lost packets. Someone have a idea?
[12:44] <ardchoille> F00: Didn't you say you were using debian?
[12:44] <Tangee> caps lock on gives lower case and vice versa
[12:45] <kaktus> I want to take backup of the files I currently have in windows, so that I can access them in linux afterwards
[12:45] <Flannel> dragonriot: that'd be more driver related than kernel related
[12:45] <Stormx2> Tangee: You mean the LED light on your keyboard is incorrect?
[12:45] <bulmer> kaktus: whats stopping you from backing them up?
[12:45] <F00> im using ubuntu
[12:45] <kaktus> Which filesystem works with both linux and windows besides FAT32?
[12:45] <Tangee> hmm...never thought of it that way...
[12:45] <kaktus> Is there any?
[12:45] <Theory5> i installed ubuntu-desktop what do i do now?
[12:45] <Tangee> but i guess so
[12:45] <Stormx2> kaktus: Like I said, ext3 or ntfs is the way to go.
[12:45] <dragonriot> kaktus, ext2 with proper drivers for Windows
[12:46] <Stormx2> dragonriot: Wouldn't ext3 be a little safer?
[12:46] <rwxr-xr--> PriceChild, Help me out dude .. When i try to Run ./configure its give me error "checking for C++ compiler default output file name... configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables " what should i do? how to compile it
[12:46] <xtknight> rwxr-xr--, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[12:46] <kaktus> When I entered the forun earlier today I were told to reformat to FAT32
[12:46] <Flannel> dragonriot: If you'd like, you can wait a few weeks for Feisty to become beta, then use that (and Feisty will be released soon thereafter)
[12:46] <F00> im using ubuntu
[12:46] <F00> now how do i start vnc
[12:46] <kaktus> because NTFS is bad supported in linux
[12:46] <xtknight> kaktus, ext2 is newer afaik, slightly better than vfat
[12:46] <kanzie> After a while my windows tend to go black if I make them above a certain size, have anyone seen this? If I make them smaller everything goes back to normal (visible)
[12:46] <kaktus> problems with writing
[12:46] <PriceChild> !ntfs-3g | kaktus
[12:46] <ubotu> kaktus: ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but please remember to keep backups of critical data. Installation instructions at http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710 (Dapper) and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009/ (Edgy)
[12:46] <Tangee> so why owuld my keyboard caps LED be incorrect?
[12:46] <xtknight> kanzie, lack of video memory or resources?
[12:46] <kaktus> !ntfs-3g
[12:46] <Theory5> so what do i do now after i installed ubuntu-desktop
[12:47] <Oritemis_> ppl. I am having a problem in NAT service. Every time the other computer try to access internet, it becomes unstable and I start to lost packets. Someone have a idea?
[12:47] <dragonriot> Stormx2, I would imagine... but I didn't know Windows could use ext3... or didn't think about it.. =)
[12:47] <bulmer> kaktus: is there a need to go back and forth between the two differing File Systems?
[12:47] <Stormx2> kaktus: ntfs is fine on linux nowerdays. The only thing lacking is permissions...
[12:47] <Flannel> Theory5: start gdm, /etc/init.d/gdm start
[12:47] <Stormx2> dragonriot: Works fine for me :)
[12:47] <Flannel> Theory5: er, prefix that with sudo
[12:47] <dragonriot> cool
[12:47] <sharperguy> how do I get vim to highlight a c++ file?
[12:47] <xtknight> windows can read ext3 but not write it afaik
[12:47] <kaktus> Damage already done

[12:47] <xtknight> with ifs drivers.
[12:47] <Stormx2> kaktus, I suggest you use ext3.

[12:47] <F00> you here
[12:47] <Flannel> rwxr-xr--: close whatever other package managers you have open
[12:47] <kaktus> *sighs*
[12:47] <khaije> is wubi a virtual instance of ubuntu on windows?
[12:47] <kane77> sharperguy, :syntax enable
[12:47] <xtknight> rwxr-xr--, what Flannel said
[12:48] <Flannel> !vnc | F00
[12:48] <ubotu> F00: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX
[12:48] <rwxr-xr--> Flannel getting updates from Ubuntu
[12:48] <kaktus> I have to be able to write to the disk in both linux AND windows!
[12:48] <Flannel> rwxr-xr--: then you'll have to wait
[12:48] <sharperguy> kane77, slavik, cheers :P
[12:48] <Oritemis_> No one knows about nat here?
[12:48] <kane77> sharperguy, you have to have the right extension.. so for c++ it would be .cpp (I guess...)
[12:48] <Theory5> it says  sudo: /etc/init.d/gdm start not found!
[12:48] <slavik> kaktus: FAT32
[12:48] <Stormx2> kaktus: Like I said, NTFS or ext3
[12:48] <rwxr-xr--> Flannel,  okIE :)
[12:48] <Stormx2> slavik: Quiet. FAT32 is a poor fs
[12:48] <dragonriot> anyway... does anyone have the link I'm looking for??  It is describing using debian kernel repositories to upgrade the ubuntu kernel to 2.6.20???  It worked for me before, and now I can't find the post again...
[12:48] <kanzie> xtknight, sounds reasonable... how can I confirm this?
[12:48] <Flannel> Theory5: then you didn't successfully intsall ubuntu-desktop.  Try installing "gdm" manually: sudo apt-get install gdm
[12:48] <greg> awesome thank you now how do i move it from the panel to the desk top??
[12:48] <rwxr-xr--> get it xtknight
[12:48] <dragonriot> (new install - can't remember where I found it)
[12:48] <khaije> Oritemis_: do u have a question?
[12:49] <kaktus> The disk used to be formatted to NTFS with some files on. I ran the ubuntu liveCD, and it told me I could not write to the disk
[12:49] <slavik> Stormx2: :P
[12:49] <Oritemis_> khaije, yes sure
[12:49] <kaktus> I also had problems with playing mp3 files that were on it
[12:49] <xtknight> rwxr-xr--, hrmm?  yes you will have to wait until synaptic closes the package manager before you can grab build-essential
[12:49] <ardchoille> greg: You want the trash icon on the desktop?
[12:49] <Theory5> says its already in its newest version!
[12:49] <Oritemis_> ppl. I am having a problem in NAT service. Every time the other computer try to access internet, it becomes unstable and I start to lost packets. Someone have a idea?
[12:49] <Stormx2> kaktus: NTFS is well supported on ubuntu, and natively on windows. ext3 is native on ubuntu and fully supported on windows with a nice easy driver.
[12:49] <greg> yes please
[12:49] <xtknight> kanzie, what video driver are you using, and what video controller?
[12:49] <F00> Flannel, sudo apt-get install vnc-common tightvncserver there is no such package
[12:49] <Oritemis_> khaije,  I am having a problem in NAT service. Every time the other computer try to access internet, it becomes unstable and I start to lost packets. Someone have a idea?
[12:49] <xtknight> kanzie, also are you using xgl or beryl or anything like that?
[12:49] <Stormx2> kaktus: Thats got nothing to do with the filesystem...
[12:49] <xtknight> !repeat | Oritemis
[12:49] <kaktus> Stormx2: are you absolutely sure about this?
[12:49] <ubotu> Oritemis: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[12:50] <xtknight> ext3 writing is not supported by any windows driver AFAIK
[12:50] <Stormx2> kaktus: I can access my ext3 partitions from windows fine...
[12:50] <F00> Flannel, sudo apt-get install vnc-common tightvncserver there is no such package
[12:50] <johnson7340> anyone know a good way to get by the sh/bin/ tty; job control turned off error message? Tried starting in .10 instead of .11 and still gives me error message
[12:50] <Flannel> F00: You'll need to enable universe to get tightvnccommon
[12:50] <xtknight> ext2 without journaling can be supported with an IFS driver
[12:50] <ardchoille> greg: run gconf-editor, go to apps/nautilus/desktop and check the icons you want on the desktop
[12:50] <Stormx2> kaktus: Personally I'd recommend ext3, but if you want to go with ntfs that'd be fine too.
[12:50] <kaktus> Why did someone in here tell me to format the disk in to FAT32 then?
[12:50] <Shane-S> I am using the Desktop ISO for 6.06, and I use f4 to set my VGA mode, but when it goes to load the GUI it changes it, how do I start the CD and tell it what to use for the GUI part?
[12:50] <Flannel> F00: er, whatever, tightvncserver
[12:50] <Theory5> please help it says that sudo: /etc/init.d/gdm  not found!
[12:50] <Stormx2> kaktus: because its the quick way out.
[12:50] <kanzie> xtknight, Beryl
[12:50] <F00> Flannel, how do i do that
[12:50] <xtknight> kaktus, for cross-platform read/write, ext2 is the way to go.  grab an IFS driver and you're all set
[12:50] <Flannel> Theory5: cd /etc/init.d
[12:50] <kaktus> Why were I unable to play the files on the ext. disk from the live CD?
[12:50] <firebird619> I recently had to switch cable modems and now the Internet will not work. When I run sudo invoke-rc.d networking restart, it says No working leases in persistent database -sleeping. What can I do to fix this?
[12:50] <Oritemis_> khaije, ??
[12:50] <Stormx2> xtknight: ext3...
[12:50] <Flannel> Theory5: and then pastebin the output of your "ls -al"

[12:51] <kanzie> nvidia driver from lupine.me.uk repos, what is a video controller?
[12:51] <xtknight> Stormx2, ext3 is not compatible with a windows driver for writing
[12:51] <kanzie> xtknight, nvidia driver from lupine.me.uk repos, what is a video controller?
[12:51] <Stormx2> kaktus: Like I said, not a fs issue. Its audio codecs.
[12:51] <xtknight> Stormx2, afaik at least, ext3 uses journaling i dont believe the IFS driver has implemented that yet.  though it is backwards compatible it's probably a poor idea to write on ext3 with an ext2 driver
[12:51] <Theory5> got it right
[12:51] <F00> Flannel, can you walk me through
[12:51] <xtknight> kanzie, video controller is your video card
[12:51] <F00> commands
[12:51] <Stormx2> xtknight: I could have sworn I've had write permission to an ext3 partition... 1 mo.
[12:52] <kaktus> I downloaded every single package I could find related to audio and video +++
[12:52] <crimsun> xtknight: it's perfectly acceptable to ignore the journaling completely
[12:52] <kaktus> didn't help
[12:52] <Stormx2> kaktus: Why didn't you ask in here

[12:52] <kanzie> xtknight, it often occurs when I have WoW running on one desktop and Eclipse running on another. My videocard is Nvidia 9800GTX (256MB)
[12:52] <xtknight> Stormx2, crimsun: gotcha.  i had just read somewhere else that it probably wasn't the best idea
[12:52] <Flannel> F00: That page (the first one) walks you through it
[12:52] <kaktus> the wierdest thing is that everything worked fine with no hassle when I tried PCLinuxOS liveCD
[12:52] <Scalarscience> kaktus you're still at it huh
[12:53] <Flannel> Theory5: what?  You need to give us the URL here (after pasting), it'll have a bunch of numbers in it.  Also, what version of ubuntu are you using?  Edgy or Dapper?
[12:53] <Scalarscience> you were on this morning wondering how that PCLinuxOS was, guess you've tried it
[12:53] <dragonriot> ok... so since I won't be finding what I'm looking for, can someone point me in the right direction to an updated, working ( beryl | ubuntu | ati x600 | HP Laptop ) install guide?

[12:53] <Stormx2> kaktus: Please read above link and stop bugging us about something you clearly aren't interested in a solution for
[12:53] <xtknight> kanzie, well that might do it.  it could be a driver bug, i dont know.  maybe #beryl can help you
[12:53] <kaktus> Scalarscience: what?
[12:53] <Scalarscience> nm
[12:53] <Scalarscience> just commenting
[12:53] <khaije> Oritemis_: i'm not sure what the problem is, but generally speaking you can be patient and wait here or find it on your own... or both :-)
[12:53] <Flannel> dragonriot: #ubuntu-effects for Beryl support, thanks
[12:53] <Scalarscience> I have a question myself
[12:53] <Stormx2> Fire away...
[12:53] <Scalarscience> I'm trying to get 6.10 server to install off of cd (burned from iso) as a LAMP install. The cd I burned verifies fine. The box is a really old AMD k6-2 (500 mhz) with 256Mb ram, and 2 IDE HDs (13Gb & 10Gb). Basically built of spare parts. The installation is successful (more than one time) and everything appears go. But it will not boot. After grub, it says 'starting up...' and then immediately reboots.
[12:53] <dxdt> dragonriot, I have the x300 with Beryl + XGL and the best thing I could say --I got mine to work by using a Beryl SVN repo that has more recent builds of Beryl than the standard repo
[12:54] <Scalarscience> Ubuntu desktop (gnome) installed fine and booted, I was able to configure all hardware. But I do not need all of the overhead of that release, I just want a box in the closet I can ssh into and use for web dev abuse. The hardware is fine, for what it is.
[12:54] <Oritemis_> khaije, I am with problems into internet share.
[12:54] <gravemind> hey I messed up my home folder somehow when I was making a new partition to mount there, and now I can't make new users, can you help me figure out what's going on?
[12:54] <greg> ardchoille  sorry new to ubuntu how do i run gconf-editor
[12:54] <Scalarscience> I have tried adding various noacpi parameters within grub (pci=noacpi noapic nolapic acpi=off) to no avail. Any ideas? I don't know how to troubleshoot a crash like that. L
[12:54] <gravemind> the thing is I accidentally interrupted the mv, so some folders got deleted, so I needed to recreate some other accounts
[12:54] <Flannel> Scalarscience: try using the alternate CD, and instlal the "server" option (itll install without a GUI)
[12:54] <Scalarscience> i am using the server install cd =] 
[12:54] <Scalarscience> i installed the LAMP setup
[12:54] <ardchoille> greg: Applications -> System Tools -> Configuration Editor
[12:54] <Stormx2> Scalarscience: Thats kinda odd. Have you verified the CD?
[12:54] <Scalarscience> i think the installation is fine tbh
[12:54] <Scalarscience> yep
[12:54] <ardchoille> greg: Or, open a terminal and type gconf-editor
[12:55] <atomiku> When I boot ubuntu, I get this: /sbin/init: 428: cannot open dev/console: no such file  Kernal panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!  How shall I fix this? /sbin/init definately exists
[12:55] <Scalarscience> edgy desktop (gnome) installs & runs fine
[12:55] <ji1> hello
[12:55] <xtknight> gravemind, well you may not be able to make new users since /home doesn't exist or you dont have permissions to it
[12:55] <xtknight> !hi | ji1
[12:55] <ubotu> ji1: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[12:55] <ji1> how are you all....this is new to me
[12:55] <dragonriot> dxdt, I tried using SVN on my first try, and the beryl-xgl session crashed as soon as I started X...
[12:55] <Scalarscience> i've installed the server 4 times now though so I've completely repartitioned at this point
[12:55] <xtknight> ji1: great ..  new to lots here
[12:55] <Scalarscience> the desktop liveCD is up & running off of cd boot atm
[12:55] <Stormx2> xtknight: Lazy ;)
[12:55] <GFree> oh yay, we've past the 1K user mark
[12:56] <gravemind> xtknight: It exists, and I checked the permissions with the file browser, and they point to root
[12:56] <xtknight> Stormx2, gotcha, ext3 writing doesnt require a journal
[12:56] <Scalarscience> would there be some logs created on boot that I can use to troubleshoot?
[12:56] <kbrooks> GFree, we are?
[12:56] <Oritemis_> xtknight, you know about nat?
[12:56] <kbrooks> didnt know that
[12:56] <johnson7340> nice to meet you ji1
[12:56] <runatrain> how to download this?
[12:56] <dxdt> dragonriot, built from SVN or packages from apt built from  the latest SVN?
[12:56] <xtknight> Oritemis, yes
[12:56] <ji1> would someone have some time to help me with something
[12:56] <johnson7340> ask away
[12:56] <Scalarscience> use the Livecd to mount the internal HD & check the logs...
[12:56] <xtknight> gravemind, pastebin the results of "ls -al" under /
[12:56] <Oritemis_> xtknight,   I am having a problem in NAT service. Every time the other computer try to access internet, it becomes unstable and I start to lost packets. Someone have a idea?
[12:56] <GFree> kbrooks: I mean about the users on irc
[12:56] <xtknight> gravemind, and also the ones of "ls -al" under /home
[12:56] <dragonriot> dxdt, added SVN repositories, then synaptic'd the install
[12:57] <Savage-{> anybody know how I determine the bluetooth URI of my printer?  I got the address information for the printer but that is all I got.  Example: bluetooth://00-00-00-00-00-00
[12:57] <Stormx2> ji1: The trick with this channel is just to ask. No one knows if they can help you until you ask a question / describe your problem.
[12:57] <adrian_> Hi!
[12:57] <ardchoille> GFree: I think that mark was broken a long time ago
[12:57] <Theory5> how do i start the server in ubuntu server edition?
[12:57] <GFree> most other times I'm here it's ~950
[12:57] <GFree> probably, just new for me
[12:57] <runatrain> how do i download the startup cd?
[12:57] <Oritemis_> xtknight, The service was enabled inside firestart.
[12:57] <johnson7340> does anyone know how to work around that sh/bin tty job control turned off bug?
[12:57] <xtknight> Oritemis, it could be a hardware problem or driver problem.  i dont know what you mean by 'NAT service'.  NAT is a router faeture
[12:57] <william_> Hi
[12:57] <adrian_> jrib: may you help me out with tracking down dependencies for me to use a program?
[12:57] <GFree> in any case I'm elated I finally got beryl to work properly
[12:57] <dxdt> dragonriot,  the Trevin repo or whatever it is called?  Hmmmm.  I don't know then.  I just know it has been really buggy lately for me too and then the SVN fixed it for me
[12:57] <jrib> adrian_: what program?
[12:57] <Stormx2> GFree: I remember the days when hoary was released, and we were all like "BOY I HOPE WE'LL MAKE 500"
[12:57] <william_> how are you
[12:58] <Jowi> Theory5, "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" or if ubuntu-desktop installed properly this time - reboot
[12:58] <GFree> heh
[12:58] <Theory5> then what?
[12:58] <gravemind> xtknight: I don't see any in / or /home

[12:58] <Scalarscience> I'd really like to get ubuntu LAMP working, can anyone help troubleshoot my boot?
[12:58] <garfield1> Hey guys, question about which version of Ubuntu to dl
[12:58] <Oritemis_> xtknight, internet share.
[12:58] <xtknight> gravemind, you don't see any of what?
[12:58] <Jowi> Theory5, then you will get a graphical log in screen
[12:58] <johnson7340> ok, is that 1060 ppl on top?
[12:58] <william_> how do i install ccmsn?
[12:58] <ji1> when i try to change my screen resolution i only get to choose between 640 x something or 800x600 but my screen can go upto 1240 x 1280 or something like that so it doesn't look very nice...how can i fix it so i can get higher resolutions available?
[12:58] <adrian_> jrib: DC++ for linux: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=28378
[12:58] <xtknight> Oritemis_, sorry, i don't have any experience with 'firestarter' (a firewall) if that's what you're getting at
[12:58] <Oritemis_> xtknight, This computer, running ubuntu has a ppp conection to internet.
[12:59] <dxdt> dragonriot, sometimes executing beryl-xgl or beryl or beryl-manager can make a difference.  At least for me there was a time when I could only use beryl or it would crash everything.  Unfortunately I can't really help you out much more.  you could try ubuntu-effects, which has people smarter at this than me
[12:59] <Theory5> how do i put stuff on my server, like webpages?
[12:59] <gravemind> xtknight: the results of ls -al seem to be the contents of my homefolder, "~/"
[12:59] <xtknight> Oritemis_, i don't know about ppp either :O
[12:59] <Theory5> or where could i find the information to do that>?
[12:59] <Stormx2> Scalarscience: I don't really know what the problem could be. A lot of people here are more concerned with the cosmetics, perhaps ask in ##linux or ubuntuforums.org?
[12:59] <jrib> adrian_: the post seems to list the dependencies
[12:59] <Oritemis_> xtknight, ok, thank you.
[12:59] <kaktus> Ok, from what I could understand from the text above, the best filesystem for my external HDD is ext2 since this format has read/write support in windows XP and in ubuntu. COrrect?
[12:59] <dxdt> Theory5, you install apache or something?
[12:59] <Stormx2> Theory5: You have a LAMP install, ya?
[12:59] <Theory5> yes
[12:59] <xtknight> gravemind, um errrrr... ok post the results of "ls -al" in /, and then post the results of "ls -al" under /home  and i'll see what's up

[12:59] <lilrayray> hi, does anyone know how to disable a dual core processor so only one core runs?
[12:59] <dxdt> Theory5, /var/www/  put files in there like index.html  make sure they have the right permissions to be read.  That should be all it takes.
[12:59] <xtknight> lilrayray, yes there is a kernel option, hold on
[01:00] <adrian_> jrib: yeah but when i write in the code some of them is not gong triugh
[01:00] <garfield1> help...for an Intel Core 2 E6600, should I download the x86 version or the AMD64 version?
[01:00] <Jowi> Theory5, by default the server install installs the bare minimum neccessary to run servers. to serve webpages you need to install a web server. (like apache2 or lighttpd)
[01:00] <cables> lilrayray, just out of curiosity, why would you want to do that?
[01:00] <jrib> adrian_: pastebin
[01:00] <xtknight> lilrayray, specify "nosmp" at the kernel boot line
[01:00] <Theory5> so where can i refer to for this information?
[01:00] <blanky> hey guys, apache2 is the ubuntu apache package right?
[01:00] <gravemind> xtknight: oh sorry, I get it now. First cd to the directory, then run "ls -al"?
[01:00] <lisapc> i just installed Kubuntu. But it didnt connect me to broadband.  Im using Ethernet modem.  Any help please?  I found a place where I chose to ENABLE ethernet, but it didnt enable it.
[01:00] <Stormx2> Theory5: Wait a moment. If you want to be able to move stuff there without root, you'll want a symlink
[01:00] <adrian_> jrib: huh?
[01:00] <xtknight> gravemind, correct
[01:00] <Theory5> k
[01:00] <jrib> adrian_: pastebin the errors
[01:00] <blanky> hey, if I have installed apache2, where is my www folder
[01:00] <lilrayray> xtknight, kernel bootline, huh?
[01:00] <crdlb> blanky, /var/www
[01:00] <blanky> thanks
[01:00] <Jowi> night all

[01:01] <Stormx2> night Jowi
[01:01] <xtknight> lilrayray, yup, specified in /boot/grub/menu.lst, or if this is just a temp thing you can edit the boot line in grub on the fly at the bootup screen (press e i think and add on the "nosmp" option)
[01:01] <lachlan121> i realise this channel is busy, so i will be brief: aftner installing Ubuntu 6.10 on a clean machine it is now hanging on the loading screen upon bootup- can anyone help?
[01:01] <xtknight> lilrayray, we should fix the dualcore issue.  core 2 duo?
[01:01] <adrian_> jrib: may we chat in another chat?
[01:01] <lisapc> how do I tell Kubuntu to use my ethernet broadband modem?
[01:01] <Jowi> lilrayray, core duo or core 2 duo?
[01:01] <cables> lilrayray, I'm guessing it's got nothing to do with having two cores
[01:01] <greg> ardchoille cant find configuration editor under that and am not sure how to open a terminal
[01:01] <jrib> adrian_: sure, /join #ubuntu-classroom
[01:01] <Stormx2> lachlan121: With the graphical progress bar, yes?
[01:01] <ji1> hiya
[01:01] <lachlan121> yes
[01:01] <crdlb> lisapc, dsl or cable?
[01:01] <mirak> hi
[01:01] <lilrayray> xtknight: nope, older Pentium D
[01:01] <william_> how do i install ccmsn? do you know?
[01:01] <lisapc> crdlb dsl
[01:01] <lachlan121> it hangs right as it starts up, with about 1-2% loaded
[01:01] <ji1> i need help changing screen resolution
[01:01] <ardchoille> greg: ALT+F2, type in gconf-editor and hit Run
[01:01] <mirak> is there  a way to clean gnome settings for a user ?
[01:02] <Stormx2> lisapc: System > Administration > Networking
[01:02] <Jowi> lilrayray, sorry, i must leave anyway. 2.6.17-10-generic works fine with my core duo. 2.6.17-11-generic does not. g'night
[01:02] <Jowi> :)
[01:02] <xtknight> lilrayray, like cables said i dont think it has to do with it being dual core.  what symptoms?
[01:02] <lisapc> Stormx2 what do I chose in there?
[01:02] <GMWeeze1> How can I transfer files to my Texas Instruments calculator?
[01:02] <ardchoille> greg: ALT+F2 will come in handy in the future ;)
[01:02] <crdlb> lisapc, I'd recommend getting a router, but I think ubuntu includes a PPPoE client
[01:02] <Stormx2> lisapc: Can you see your modem in there?
[01:02] <garfield1> lachlan121: I'm having the exact same problem, I'm interested to find a solution
[01:02] <jannu1> hi, what program i can mux video and audio to xvid ?
[01:02] <lisapc> Stormx2 it only says Ethernet
[01:02] <cables> jannu1, mencoder
[01:02] <gravemind> xtknight: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9732/
[01:02] <xtknight> GMWeeze1, "tilp" package perhaps?  search for "TI calculator" in synaptic
[01:02] <cables> !mencoder | jannu1
[01:02] <ubotu> jannu1: mencoder: MPlayer's Movie Encoder. In component multiverse, is extra. Version 2:0.99+1.0pre8-0ubuntu8 (edgy), package size 3171 kB, installed size 7956 kB
[01:03] <jannu1> ok thx
[01:03] <Vik_> slavik:  you there?
[01:03] <mirak> is there  a way to clean gnome settings for a user ?
[01:03] <crdlb> !dsl| lisapc
[01:03] <ubotu> lisapc: Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE
[01:03] <lisapc> crdlb you are NOT helping with that comment
[01:03] <xtknight> mirak, probably sudo rm -rf ~/.gnome and rm -rf ~/.gnome2  ?
[01:03] <slavik> Vik_: for now at least
[01:03] <william_> people i want install ccmsn
[01:03] <johnson7340> anyone know why my grub.conf is not in te grub folder? trying to fix the /sh/bin tty; job control tuned off error on bootup. Im goingcrazy here in XP.
[01:03] <xtknight> mirak, don't try it unless you haev another user on hand or something, but that should definitely wipe gnome stuff
[01:03] <GMWeeze1> xtknight: thanks
[01:03] <lilrayray> xtknight: well, in 6.06 (using 6.10 now), whenever I enabled my dual core, ubuntu would freeze up completely and i would have to force it to reboot.  I get Identicle problems now with 6.10, and it shows that the two cores are active
[01:03] <Vik_> slavik: sweet
[01:03] <bruenig> johnson7340, it is /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:03] <adrian_> jrib: can you give me the channel again?
[01:03] <jrib> adrian_: sure, /join #ubuntu-classroom
[01:03] <Stormx2> william_: So install it.
[01:03] <raven3x7> is there another easy way to build a package besides checkinstall?
[01:04] <mirak> xtknight: I have done that but there is still the panels
[01:04] <Savage-{> Is there a bluetooth browser applet for gnome?
[01:04] <slavik> lilrayray: smp kernel?
[01:04] <blanky> crdlb: how come it's in /var/www/, now I need sudo to just write stuff to it, is this normal? or should I do something about it
[01:04] <mirak> xtknight: and also the skins are not good
[01:04] <ji1> stormx2 can i pm you ?
[01:04] <johnson7340> ty, bruenig, trying to get past that error and forums said try changing ramdisk
[01:04] <bruenig> raven3x7, upi dpm
[01:04] <xtknight> gravemind, so what happens when you try to create a new user?  and how are you craeting a new user?
[01:04] <johnson7340> brb
[01:04] <sharperguy> whats the proper way to use gcc to compile a single c++ file?
[01:04] <Vik_> slavik: ok im at the boot menu. I hit esc but nothing happens
[01:04] <crdlb> blanky, I believe so
[01:04] <Stormx2> ji1: Go ahead
[01:04] <lilrayray> slavik: umm, unsure - it is 2.6.17-11-generic
[01:04] <xtknight> mirak, sudo rm -rf ~/.metacity   ?
[01:04] <wo1ferine> what is xorg?
[01:04] <william_> maybe, i dont know
[01:04] <slavik> lilrayray: it should be fine
[01:04] <mirak> xtknight: mmm
[01:04] <bruenig> raven3x7, /var/www/ is good, you don't want other people to have permissions to mess with that
[01:04] <xtknight> !xorg | wo1ferine
[01:04] <ubotu> wo1ferine: 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
[01:04] <Vik_> slavik: I have kernel, kernel(recovery mode), memtest, and win xp
[01:04] <lilrayray> slavik: it is not
[01:05] <slavik> Vik_: did you select the recovery one?
[01:05] <Stormx2> ji1: You'll need to be a identified user to do so though, if you're not already.
[01:05] <xtknight> lilrayray, so it's stable in nosmp mode?
[01:05] <Vik_> slavik: no should i?
[01:05] <crdlb> blanky, you could add yourself to the www-data group, but I'm not sure if that's secure
[01:05] <wo1ferine> ok, so is X not the only one?
[01:05] <slavik> Vik_: yes
[01:05] <blanky> crdlb: it's okay
[01:05] <lisapc> crdlb it says I need pppoeconf
[01:05] <gravemind> xtknight: I use the system>admin>users and groups application, and it acts like it made a new user, but the new user can't log in, and they don't get a folder in /home
[01:05] <xtknight> wo1ferine, X is pretty much the only windowing system
[01:05] <Vik_> slavik: k, its going...
[01:05] <lilrayray> xtknight: I am in XP right now, so I will have to reboot to try this idea
[01:05] <lisapc> crdlb but I cant download pppoeconf
[01:05] <wo1ferine> and what is beryl?
[01:05] <xtknight> !beryl | wo1ferine
[01:05] <ubotu> wo1ferine: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[01:05] <wo1ferine> its a window manager, isnt it?
[01:06] <lachlan121> hey Stormx2, my reply might have been drowned out, but yes, its hanging on the graphical progress bar
[01:06] <xtknight> wo1ferine, not on the same level as X.  X is actually a server
[01:06] <wo1ferine> ok, so whats the difference between a window manager, and what X is?
[01:06] <Vik_> slavik: it seems to have stalled at: acpi: assume root bridge [\_SB_.PCI0]  bus is 0
[01:06] <Cryoniq> Question: When Feisty Fawn is released sharp, will us with say edgy be able to upgrade or we need to reinstall to feisty?
[01:06] <Stormx2> lachlan121: Hmm. usually it will revert to text if it hangs for a long time.
[01:06] <crdlb> lisapc, did you try apt-getting it?
[01:06] <Stormx2> lachlan121: is it not doing that? Try waiting maybe 1 minute.
[01:06] <wo1ferine> X is what type of server?
[01:06] <wo1ferine> window server?
[01:06] <raven3x7> bruenig, ?
[01:06] <Stormx2> Cryoniq: Upgrade
[01:06] <slavik> wo1ferine: X is all of the graphics, window manager manages the windows (what happens when they come close enough or where to open new ones)
[01:06] <Cryoniq> =)
[01:06] <lachlan121> Stormx2: OK, I'll try that
[01:06] <sharperguy> wolferine, X allows graphics to exist (Exept text), a window manager draws the windows
[01:06] <xtknight> wo1ferine, X is the whole underlying video driver system.  it is a server and , yes it is a window server where all the windows are clients of it
[01:07] <lisapc> crdlb LOL! how can I apt-get when i dont have internt connection!  think about ut
[01:07] <lilrayray> xtknight: I will try this, Ill check back soon
[01:07] <xtknight> lilrayray, ok
[01:07] <Cryoniq> I have a feeling though that upgrades like that could be troublesome ^^
[01:07] <raven3x7> bruenig, upi and dpm are different  programs?
[01:07] <whonicca> Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family Graphics Controller, what driver should i be using for this card
[01:07] <garfield1> Stormx2: I'm having the exact same problem as lachlan121, it does go to command line after 1-2mins
[01:07] <xtknight> wo1ferine, stuff like cairo and xft draws fonts, as well
[01:07] <crdlb> lisapc, lol, it's on the cd according to the page
[01:07] <whonicca> computer is running awfully laggy =\
[01:07] <whonicca> on a fresh install
[01:07] <garfield1> Stormx2: what are my options when I get to the command line
[01:07] <wo1ferine> all the windows are just managed by, say BEryl, and X just lays underneath it
[01:07] <xtknight> wo1ferine, correct
[01:07] <atomiku> When I boot ubuntu, I get this: /sbin/init: 428: cannot open dev/console: no such file  Kernal panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!  How shall I fix this? /sbin/init definately exists
[01:08] <crdlb> lisapc, sudo apt-cdrom add
[01:08] <xtknight> wo1ferine, they exist on X, although beryl is in charge of drawing them
[01:08] <Gorgapor> is there a good command-line utility I can use to monitor when files change?
[01:08] <lisapc> crdlb ok :)
[01:08] <wo1ferine> ok, so there are other window servers, any examples?
[01:08] <wo1ferine> is Gnome a wm?
[01:08] <xtknight> wo1ferine, i don't know of any other than X (X.org)
[01:08] <Stormx2> garfield1, lachlan121: Well, its not a command line as such. if you could write down as much detail as you can on the latest thing which happened according to the log (the text you see) and pastebin it...
[01:08] <xtknight> wo1ferine, gnome is a Desktop environment (DE)
[01:08] <xtknight> wo1ferine, its window manager is metacity
[01:08] <wo1ferine> ah
[01:08] <wo1ferine> and KDE?
[01:08] <sharperguy> wo1ferine, there all X, but X.org is an implementation of it as is xfree86 (not used as much these days)
[01:08] <Stormx2> wo1ferine: KDE is a DE, Its window manager is qt
[01:09] <crdlb> kwin
[01:09] <Stormx2> Wait
[01:09] <Stormx2> yeah
[01:09] <wo1ferine> ok
[01:09] <Stormx2> sorry >.<
[01:09] <raven3x7> is there another easy way to build a package besides checkinstall?
[01:09] <Stormx2> I was wrong.
[01:09] <wo1ferine> that helps a bit
[01:09] <GFree_> we also established yesterday that beryl is so cool, it has the power to cure cancer.
[01:09] <xtknight> raven3x7, heh not really
[01:09] <SkippyX> Hey. I have a fresh install of edgy. When I did the install I had an old Matrox card in it. I ran across a much better nvidia card and swapped the cards. Now X won't start. Can anyone point me to a how-to page, or some documentation that tells me how to configure the new card?
[01:09] <crdlb> GFree, so, compiz can cure ebola :D
[01:09] <Stormx2> GFree_: Bit of a sensitve issue, and completely false >.<
[01:09] <xtknight> raven3x7, using "ar" is the easiest way ive found.  i just use checkinstall, then do "ar x" to extract the deb, modify the status files and repackage it with ar again
[01:09] <GFree_> ahhhah
[01:10] <arooni> once i have a debian file downloaded, how do i install it?
[01:10] <lachlan121> Stormx2: i'll get back to you with that it a minute or 3, thanks for your help so far:)
[01:10] <arooni> i mean a .deb file
[01:10] <cables> arooni, you can usually double-click it
[01:10] <chat1410> can someone give me some step by step directions (or a link) on how to upgrade hoary to egdy? i've tried gksu "update-manager -c" with no luck
[01:10] <arooni> cables: how about from the command line
[01:10] <xtknight> arooni, sudo dpkg -i <file.deb>
[01:10] <Flannel> !lamp | Theory5
[01:10] <ubotu> Theory5: 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+)
[01:10] <Flannel> !upgrade | chat1410
[01:10] <cables> arooni, xtknight just said it :)
[01:10] <ubotu> chat1410: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[01:10] <wo1ferine> how can you see the IRC userlist in Gnome-xchat?
[01:10] <chat1410> thanks
[01:10] <Gorgapor> repeat: is there a good command-line utility I can use to monitor when files change? i found the inotify library for this purpose, but it doesn't seem to have a command line utility for it
[01:10] <cables> SkippyX, you need to reconfigure Xorg
[01:11] <Flannel> Gorgapor: tail?
[01:11] <wo1ferine> or Xchat-GNOME I mean
[01:11] <cables> wolferine, better to just use xchat
[01:11] <crdlb> wo1ferine, you have to click on a button, and it shows up iirc
[01:11] <cables> wolferine, not sure in xchat-gnome, sorry
[01:11] <crdlb> temporarily
[01:11] <Flannel> wo1ferine: I believe you hover over the right side, and it'll pop up
[01:11] <wo1ferine> iirc?
[01:11] <SkippyX> cables, I thought so - but when I boot, I don't boot into a terminal. How do I get it to boot to a terminal?
[01:11] <sharperguy> whats the best way to compile a single c++ source file with gcc into a program file?
[01:11] <cables> SkippyX, you need to reconfigure X.
[01:11] <gravemind> xtknight: did you check the pastebin
[01:11] <Gorgapor> Flannel, i mean where i can be notified if anything monitors a file in a whole directory
[01:11] <xtknight> wo1ferine, drag the slider at the right side
[01:11] <xtknight> wo1ferine, iirc=if i recall correctly
[01:11] <Vik_> slavik: yeah its def stalled at that
[01:11] <wo1ferine> there is none
[01:11] <cables> SkippyX, select recovery mode in grub
[01:11] <crdlb> xtknight, that's xchat
[01:11] <xtknight> gravemind, oops sorry sorta forgot
[01:11] <xtknight> eh?
[01:11] <lisapc> crdlb but its already setp up and working in MS windows.  Why I need to set it up again?
[01:12] <cables> SkippyX, I believe the command is dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but someone should check me on that.
[01:12] <wo1ferine> i knew of the same thing in xchat, where the userlist is hidden
[01:12] <wo1ferine> but not in Chat-Gnome
[01:12] <SkippyX> OK - but on boot I don't get a terminal. I can't log in.
[01:12] <crdlb> lisapc, you have to connect to dsl, it's sorta like dialup
[01:12] <xtknight> gravemind, yeah it looked fine to me..have you tried "adduser"?
[01:12] <wo1ferine> Xchat-Gnome*
[01:12] <cables> wolferine, i'll pull down xchat-gnome temporarily to check
[01:12] <SkippyX> If I can't log in - I can't do much w/ it. Nice doorstop, though.
[01:12] <xtknight> !adduser
[01:12] <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
[01:12] <crdlb> lisapc, which is why i recommend a router :D
[01:12] <cables> SkippyX, in Grub, before it boots.
[01:12] <whonicca> hey guys, i just installed ubuntu edgy and have a problem, it seems the livecd performed better than the actual thing installed on my hard drive
[01:12] <Flannel> Gorgapor: with `watch` perhaps
[01:13] <SkippyX> cables - OK - thanks! I'll have a go.
[01:13] <cables> SkippyX, hold down ESC while it boots and choose recovery mode.
[01:13] <lisapc> crdlb but wont following those steps re-set or stuff up my already configured adsl modem?
[01:13] <dragonriot> argh.... ok... I have 2.6.17-12 kernel installed now... and I'm trying to find the correct 686 based ubuntu kernel to install from synaptic... I have ALL repositories selected... which is the best 686 kernel version to use?
[01:13] <whonicca> and it seems like everything lags
[01:13] <Gorgapor> flannel, thx, i'll look into that
[01:13] <gravemind> xtknight - no, haven't
[01:13] <SkippyX> ok
[01:13] <Flannel> dragonriot: the -generic one (you're on Edgy)
[01:13] <cables> wolferine, installing it now, hold on a sec
[01:13] <slavik> who sneezed?
[01:13] <xtknight> gravemind, "sudo adduser --shell /bin/bash --home /home/myuser myuser"
[01:13] <lufis> slavik: bless you
[01:13] <crdlb> lisapc, no you're just connecting to it.  unless it is one of the modems w/ builtin routers, it's not being configured at all
[01:13] <Vik_> slavik: u there?
[01:13] <whonicca> can someone please help me =)
[01:13] <wo1ferine> i dont think it has it
[01:13] <slavik> Vik_: you sneezed?
[01:13] <IndyGunFreak> !someone
[01:13] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[01:13] <wo1ferine> you cannot see the userlist in Xchat-gnome
[01:13] <lufis> whonicca: just ask your question :)
[01:14] <cables> whonicca, faster comp :)
[01:14] <whonicca> i did
[01:14] <whonicca> cables
[01:14] <whonicca> it has 1g of memory, 3.0 p4
[01:14] <cables> whonicca, anything more specific? have you rebooted?
[01:14] <Vik_> slavik: ummmm..., what?
[01:14] <gravemind> cool, ok trying it
[01:14] <whonicca> 64mb video card though intel
[01:14] <slavik> someone said my name ...
[01:14] <wo1ferine> u can only press ctrl-u to view them
[01:14] <lisapc> crdlb its working in MS windows.  so its safew to follow that website?  It wont screw up my working modem on MS windows?
[01:14] <wo1ferine> its not actually attached
[01:14] <garfield1> help...for an Intel Core 2 E6600, should I download the x86 version or the AMD64 version?
[01:14] <Gorgapor> flannel, no, watch won't do it. I'm basically trying to figure out which config files in my home directory are being modified
[01:14] <slavik> who was it that was vying for my expensive attention?
[01:14] <crdlb> lisapc, yes
[01:14] <xtknight> whonicca, type "sudo killall updatedb" and see if that makes it faster?
[01:14] <Vik_> slavik: me probably
[01:15] <Flannel> garfield1: Eitehr one, depending on whether you want a 32bit or 64bit OS
[01:15] <Vik_> slavik: since i am clueless
[01:15] <slavik> Vik_: then what is it?
[01:15] <goodbrain> NEED HELP: I'm being denied access to my CDROM drive, my HDD, and my sound card.
[01:15] <crdlb> lisapc, you had to configure windows for it too
[01:15] <lisapc> crdlb YES????? it will stuff it up???
[01:15] <cables> whonicca, alt-f2, then gnome-system-monitor. Sort by cpu and see if anything's using that too much, then try sorting by used RAM.
[01:15] <whonicca> xtknight, ok
[01:15] <slavik> Vik_: you get to a prompt yet?
[01:15] <goodbrain> this is the error message:

[01:15] <tyler> can an ipod be loaded with mp3 and be played??? or is i-tunes music files different from mp3's
[01:15] <lisapc> crdlb pls liusten this time. its working NOW
[01:15] <slavik> Vik_: what is the last line?
[01:15] <cables> whonicca, brb, so pm me with the answer so i don't miss it
[01:15] <lisapc> crdlb its working NOW from MS wndows.
[01:15] <cables> tyler, it supports mp3.
[01:15] <garfield1> Flannel: would either the 32 or 64 run smoother or better?
[01:16] <slavik> Vik_: your hdd is sata or ide?
[01:16] <lufis> goodbrain: did you try to mount something manually?
[01:16] <xtknight> garfield1, 32 would run smoother for most stuff on a Core 2 Duo as it supports macrofusion in 32bit mode only
[01:16] <Flannel> garfield1: You probably will be happier with 32bit, not because of performance, but because of stuff like Flash
[01:16] <Vik_> slavik: assume root bridge [\_SB_.PCI0]  bus is 0
[01:16] <ardchoille> cables: whonicca isn't id'd to nickserv.. a pm from him may not get to you
[01:16] <lilrayray> xtknight: I added nosmp to the ubuntu entry in grub and after rebooting, the second core still appears to be active
[01:16] <tanubis> can anyone give me a hand with installing a webcam?  I've downloaded easyspca, it installs and makes a driver.  When I hit dmesg it registers  the usb device, and lsusb indicates I have something installed at that spot.  But when I fire up camorama, it indicates there isn't anything registered to /dev/video.  Anyone know what I should go about doing next?
[01:16] <slavik> err ... so no promt?
[01:16] <crdlb> lisapc, you don't understand, you have to connect to your dsl modem every time you want to use it (just like dialup) with your username and pass, windows does it too
[01:16] <lachlan121> Stormx2: Now my computer won't even get to the stage of the graphical loader:( it just says 'DISK BOOT FAILURE INSERT FLOPPYDISK'
[01:16] <whonicca> ardchoille, thanks for the heads up
[01:16] <Vik_> slavik: its a laptop
[01:16] <xtknight> garfield1, i've run 32 and 64 on a core 2 duo.  32 is faster for most stuff, less trouble.  64 can have a slight advantage in math/scienfitic apps but for video 32 all the way
[01:16] <Vik_> so ide im assuming
[01:16] <goodbrain> Lufis: no, it just stopped letting me use it after my upgrade to Dapper
[01:16] <cables> ardchoille, thanks for telling me that.
[01:16] <ardchoille> whonicca: You're welcome :)
[01:16] <cables> whonicca, don't pm me then :)
[01:16] <slavik> Vik_: laptops can have sata ...
[01:16] <indolent_> wo1ferine,  did you found a way to see users in gnome xchat
[01:16] <lufis> goodbrain: oh, weird
[01:16] <whonicca> no i nickserved =)
[01:17] <slavik> Vik_: is this a clean install?
[01:17] <Stormx2> lachlan121: Woh...
[01:17] <Vik_> slavik: oh...
[01:17] <cables> wolferine, Discussion>Users
[01:17] <wo1ferine> yeah
[01:17] <garfield1> excellent...32 it is
[01:17] <wo1ferine> but its a temp window
[01:17] <finer> urgent help. i recently removed some old kernels, and now my shutdown and restart buttons are gone! what did i do?
[01:17] <wo1ferine> u can only press ctrl-u to view them
[01:17] <Stormx2> lachlan121: Try again once or twice? thats baad...
[01:17] <Vik_> its a hp dv9000
[01:17] <lisapc> crdlb so if I follow that website, it will help me do that? but it wont mess around with my internal modem settings will it?  because its been set up internally already with username and password
[01:17] <tanubis> lachlan121: have you tried booting with a CD?
[01:17] <xtknight> lilrayray, odd, can you pastebin your grub menu.lst?
[01:17] <slavik> Vik_: which tells me nothing :)
[01:17] <cables> wolferine, i have an idea, hold on
[01:17] <wo1ferine> or just click its button at the lower left hand corner
[01:17] <lufis> finer: you mean when you click the red icon in the right hand corner?
[01:17] <lilrayray> xtknight: sure hold on
[01:17] <finer> yes
[01:17] <blanky> what's a way to monitor network traffic on a specific port
[01:17] <crdlb> lisapc, then it has a builtin router and you don't need pppoeconf
[01:17] <finer> lufis: yes
[01:17] <slavik> Vik_: write down the last 5-10 lines and pastebin them, someone should have an idea :)
[01:17] <tanubis> blanky: download ethereal
[01:17] <goodbrain> Lufis: and it recognizes the hardware, it'll even tell me how many tracks on the CDs i put in, it just wont let me access the files
[01:17] <xtknight> blanky, wireshark (formerly ethereal) is a packet sniffer
[01:18] <blanky> tanubis: wireshark?
[01:18] <raven3x7> xtknight, thanks. unfortunatly checkinstall doesnt work for me
[01:18] <xtknight> blanky, you can filter by port
[01:18] <indolent_> wolferine, i am unable to get it .. is there a setting somewhere
[01:18] <lufis> finer: i don't know, but i've had the problem too. it usually comes back after the panel is reloaded. run killall gnome-panel and see if that helps
[01:18] <crdlb> lisapc, just connect to the ethernet device in the Networking settings dialog
[01:18] <slavik> as for me, time to go to work because of damn DST switch and AD ...
[01:18] <Vik_> slavik:  how do i find out
[01:18] <xtknight> raven3x7, odd, what are you trying to package?
[01:18] <whonicca> xtknight, no processes killed
[01:18] <tanubis> blanky: wireshark/ethereal is a network/packet sniffer.  Can set it to filter for just about anything.
[01:18] <atomiku> so whens ubuntu 7 being released?
[01:18] <blanky> xtknight: sorry don't know how to use that, I'll just use nc -luvvp
[01:18] <lachlan121> tanubis: i can run ubuntu of the live CD if that counts as booting?
[01:18] <xtknight> whonicca, check what's using all your resources (cpu,vmem)
[01:18] <lisapc> crdlb when I first set this modem up I ran the modem config and entered my username and password and saved it.  now all I do is turn it on daily and it connects in MS windows/
[01:18] <cables> wolferine, looked in gconf, couldn't find it... sorry. Try xchat though, it's much more configurable and has what you want.
[01:18] <xtknight> blanky, whaaa?
[01:18] <xtknight> blanky, im confused ;P
[01:18] <blanky> yeah don't know how to use it :(
[01:18] <cables> whonicca, did you find anything?
[01:18] <bruenig> raven3x7, sorry from above, my hands were not situated right on the keyboard
[01:18] <tanubis> lachlan121 if you can run ubuntu off the live CD, can you access the main linux partitions with it as well?
[01:18] <lisapc> crdlb when I do that, i select CONNECT but nothing happens
[01:18] <blanky> I just need to monitor ports 28960 and 28950
[01:18] <lilrayray> xtknight: here yah go: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9737/
[01:18] <blanky> xtknight
[01:18] <slavik> Vik_: take the hdd out and check the connector ... lots of pins (40) means IDE, less than 10 is sata
[01:18] <lufis> goodbrain: sounds like a permission goofup. i dunno, sounds like it's royally messed up
[01:19] <xtknight> blanky, oh it's not too hard, really just right click on one of the packets and go filter
[01:19] <slavik> time to go to work
[01:19] <whonicca> cables, lookin now
[01:19] <lufis> goodbrain: can you pastebin your /etc/fstab for me?
[01:19] <crdlb> lisapc, did you configure your modem via a web interface (where you type it's ip address or name into a web browser)?
[01:19] <tanubis> blanky: if you run ethereal/wireshark, you can filter it to only display traffic on specific ports.
[01:19] <raven3x7> bruenig, well i guessed you werent refering to me :)
[01:19] <blanky> tanubis: how? please?
[01:19] <xtknight> lilrayray, you added it to the wrong spot
[01:19] <lufis> goodbrain: you can view it by running "cat /etc/fstab" in the terminal
[01:19] <lachlan121> tanubis: i'm not entirely sure how running off the live cd works, but I'm gussing I could
[01:19] <raven3x7> xtknight, wine
[01:19] <lisapc> crdlb yes
[01:19] <lilrayray> xtknight: oh, haha, where does it go?
[01:20] <cables> tyler, if you're still here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod#Software has a list of supported formats on the iPod
[01:20] <blanky> tanubis and xtknight: I also can't choose an interface, there are none there, for some reason
[01:20] <lisapc> crdlb so how do I now get Kubuntu to use it?
[01:20] <crdlb> lisapc, then if dhcp is enabled in the modem/router, you should be able to connect
[01:20] <Vik_> slavik: fair enough..., wow..., i'm not normally that slow
[01:20] <Vik_> slavik: brb
[01:20] <greatgazoo> could running a laptop with ACPI off cause it to burn out?
[01:20] <tanubis> blanky: there's a dropdown in the gui for filters.  You can just set a boolean logic condition - ie: IF port=8982 OR port=XXXX then display
[01:20] <xtknight> lilrayray, remove it from where you added it, put it here instead: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-11-generic root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet splash <<<nosmp>>>   (without the <<<<s of course)  and just modify one entry in that file so you have other fallback options.  dont screw with the recovery mode one
[01:20] <finer> killing the gnome-panel didn't work, i also restarted x. no change
[01:20] <lisapc> crdlb yeah but it doesnt!
[01:20] <matthew1429> hey guys - who knows of a script or program I can use to convert .asf files that just have audio into mp3 or ogg?  VLC is great for recording audio streams but I can only get it to save in asf successfully
[01:20] <blanky> thanks tanubis
[01:20] <xtknight> blanky, run it in SUDO
[01:20] <lufis> finer: weird. try rebooting i guess. it comes and goes for me too
[01:20] <xtknight> blanky, gksu ethereal
[01:20] <goodbrain> Lufis: I dont understand pastebin, this is my first time on IRC
[01:20] <finer> ok
[01:20] <lilrayray> xtknight: ok, Ill give it a go
[01:20] <blanky> thanks
[01:20] <lufis> finer:  sudo reboot i think it is
[01:21] <tanubis> lachlan121: if you can boot with a live CD, most likely the only problem is with the MBR/boot loader.  See if you can manually reinstall grub/lilo overtop, might fix it for you.
[01:21] <lisapc> crdlb its running fine from MS windows
[01:21] <finer> lufis: ok thank
[01:21] <crdlb> lisapc, and you don't use any dialer software on windows?
[01:21] <xtknight> matthew1429, perhaps "mencoder" can do it
[01:21] <tanubis> lachlan121: google repair MBM linux and there's quite a few walkthroughs
[01:21] <lachlan121> can i install grub from the live cd? through aptitude or something similar?
[01:21] <tanubis> lachlan121: MBR, sorry
[01:21] <lufis> goodbrain: okay, go to http://pastebin.com/ and paste the contents of /etc/fstab. then link me to it
[01:21] <lisapc> crdlb none!  its ethernet modem
[01:21] <xtknight> lachlan121, yes.  off the livecd: "sudo grub-install /dev/blkdevice"
[01:22] <xtknight> lachlan121, but you haev to specify the correct root.
[01:22] <xtknight> lachlan121, could you reiterate the problem youre having briefly?
[01:22] <tanubis> lachlan121: You'll need to chroot to the mountpoint of your main linux drive, then you just run grubinstall
[01:22] <xtknight> gravemind, any luck?
[01:22] <lisapc> crdlb do u have ANY IDEA what you talking about dude?
[01:22] <crdlb> lisapc, dunno why it isn't working then, and since it is kubuntu, you should try #kubuntu
[01:22] <matthew1429> hey guys - who knows of a script or program I can use to convert .asf files that just have audio into mp3 or ogg?  VLC is great for recording audio streams but I can only get it to save in asf successfully
[01:22] <whonicca> cables, gnome-system-monitor 11%, memory firefox is taking the most with 50mb
[01:22] <xtknight> matthew1429, perhaps "mencoder" can do it
[01:22] <Vik_> slavik: okay, 80gb, serial AT
[01:22] <tanubis> lachlan121: 1) Boot liveCD, 2) chroot /dev/hda0 3) install grub
[01:23] <matthew1429> xtknight: thx
[01:23] <lisapc> crdlb you have trolled me for last 20mins wasting my time :(
[01:23] <cables> whonicca, that's weird... i don't have any idea why it would be acting slow then.
[01:23] <cables> lisapc, what's the problem you're having?
[01:23] <Thehound666> I have Kubuntu Edgy on 3 PCs but one periodically keeps coming up with filesystem errors. Anyone may know the cause?
[01:23] <whonicca> yeah, think its the video card?
[01:23] <Thehound666> Windows has no issue
[01:23] <lisapc> cables hello :)
[01:23] <cables> lisapc, hi?
[01:23] <goodbrain> Lufis: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9739/
[01:23] <lisapc> cables i run ubuntu but it doesnt connect to my dsl
[01:23] <crdlb> cables, he has a dsl modem w/ a builtin router that won't connect to kubuntu
[01:23] <lufis> Thehound666: what filesystem?
[01:23] <lachlan121> xtknight: i'm getting 'DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER'
[01:23] <Thehound666> ext3
[01:23] <cables> !dsl | lisapc
[01:23] <blanky> tanubis: I did, IF port=28960 OR port=28950 then display, running in root, and it's not picking anything up, I clicked on Apply by the way
[01:23] <ubotu> lisapc: Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE
[01:23] <lisapc> cables its running from MS windows
[01:24] <lisapc> cables that website doesnt work for me
[01:24] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[01:24] <xtknight> lachlan121, after installing ubuntu on a hd?
[01:24] <lisapc> cables its ALREADY set up interntally
[01:24] <tanubis> blanky: it doesn't use exactly that syntax... lemme check on one of mine
[01:24] <lufis> goodbrain: ok, thanks
[01:24] <lachlan121> xtknight: yes
[01:24] <blanky> tanubis: oh, woops
[01:24] <xtknight> tanubis, you can chroot into a block device?
[01:24] <cables> lisapc, i have no experience with DSL, just experience getting Ubotu to tell people about DSL... so I can't figure it out, sorry.
[01:24] <Thehound666> I actually had to use live CD to fix it twice
[01:24] <Thehound666> when fsck actually got hung
[01:24] <tanubis> xtknight soon as you mount it
[01:24] <lachlan121> tanubis: i have installed and reinstalled ubuntu upwards or 20 times, will re-installing grub make any difference?
[01:25] <crdlb> lisapc, like I said, try #kubuntu
[01:25] <Vik_> slavik: sooo yeahhhhhh.....
[01:25] <finer> lifus: rebooting didnt work, thanks for trying though. im going to seach the forums
[01:25] <lisapc> crdlb you are trolling dude
[01:25] <SpudDogg> Does anyone know why I cannot change track info in Rhythmbox?  Every time I make a change I get "Error while saving song information; Internal GStreamer problem; file a bug"  *FRUSTRATED*
[01:25] <lufis> finer: sorry :( okay, good luck
[01:25] <xtknight> lachlan121, yup corrupt mbr.  youll have to go into a livecd, mount the root partition, do "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/mount /dev/hda" or something similar
[01:25] <Stormx2> lachlan121: Thats a mobo error...
[01:25] <cables> crdlb, it's a problem with networking, has nothing to do with the desktop environment.
[01:25] <IndyGunFreak> lisapc: lol.. if anyone is trolling its you
[01:25] <cables> lisapc, he's not trolling.
[01:25] <tanubis> lachlan121: not sure, but reinstalling grub takes just a few seconds so it's worth a shot :P
[01:25] <Flannel> !grub | lachlan121, first link
[01:25] <ubotu> lachlan121, first link: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[01:25] <Vik_> slavik: its got less than IDE but more than the SATA (what i've seen anyway)
[01:25] <ojk007> !fiesty
[01:25] <ubotu> The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn"), it should be released in April 2007. At the moment it is alpha.

[01:25] <xtknight> lachlan121, i can walk you through it if you reboot into a livecd
[01:26] <lachlan121> ubotu: i don't have windows on my system
[01:26] <xtknight> !bot | lachlan121
[01:26] <ubotu> lachlan121: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[01:26] <lachlan121> this ubuntu install was onto a clean harddrive
[01:26] <Stormx2> lachlan121: It doesn't matter.
[01:26] <Flannel> lachlan121: that doesn't matter, installing GRUB is the same.
[01:26] <blanky> tanubis: ?
[01:26] <Stormx2> lachlan121: Fact is, your bios can't boot grub...
[01:26] <Shane-S> how do I make eht0 use IPv4, not IPv6 via the Gnome GUI?
[01:26] <xtknight> Stormx2, that doesn't make much sense
[01:26] <Oritemis> guys, how do I open a root term?
[01:26] <tanubis> blanky: Analyze dropdown, display filter
[01:26] <Flannel> !ipv6 | Shane-S
[01:26] <ubotu> Shane-S: To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4
[01:26] <Vik_> slavik: if i press "c" at the boot menu it takes me to "grub>"
[01:26] <Thehound666> oh and I have an nforce board if that's an issue
[01:26] <Flannel> Oritemis: sudo -i
[01:26] <lufis> Thehound666: hard drive failure, maybe?
[01:26] <Thehound666> an nforce2
[01:26] <blanky> thanks tanubis
[01:26] <cables> BIOS thtat can't boot grub = ???
[01:27] <finer> lifus: haha fixed it, in the login window prefrences, my "show actions menu" got unchecked somehow. all is good again
[01:27] <Flannel> Oritemis: but, do you really need a root terminal?
[01:27] <lufis> finer: ah, good :)
[01:27] <Thehound666> but why would Windows be 100% stable?
[01:27] <IndyGunFreak> Oritemis: just open a terminal and use the sudo command.
[01:27] <tanubis> blanky: then go down to TCP or UDP port is blah to see example syntax
[01:27] <xtknight> bios boots off the mbr, which is grub stage 1.  grub stage 1 is no diff than any other binary code, there is no such thing as a bios supporting grub or not
[01:27] <Thehound666> install for it is over 3 years old
[01:27] <lufis> Thehound666: windows doesn't check filesystems at boot, does it?
[01:27] <lilrayray> xtknight: Unfortunately, ubuntu would not boot with "nosmp" in the bootline
[01:27] <cables> Oritemis, sudo -i if you really need it...
[01:27] <Oritemis> Flannel, I am following a howto to ask for a root terminal.
[01:27] <Thehound666> no but I run chkdsk
[01:27] <Thehound666> as maintenence
[01:27] <xtknight> lilrayray, what happened?
[01:27] <Oritemis> and to not use sudo.
[01:27] <lufis> Thehound666: ah, well, i don't know
[01:27] <Flannel> Oritemis: Alright, well, `sudo -i` gets you one
[01:27] <cables> Oritemis, open a regular terminal and run "sudo -i" to turn it into a root terminal
[01:27] <tanubis> grr
[01:27] <Oritemis> ok, thank you guys!
[01:27] <cables> Oritemis, Ubuntu is designed to be used with sudo
[01:27] <tanubis> I can't figure out how to get this camera working
[01:28] <dragonriot> Sorry to ask again guys, but I stepped away from my machine after I asked and didn't have my scrollback buffer set up yet... I have 2.6.17-12 kernel installed now... and I'm trying to find the correct 686 based ubuntu kernel to install from synaptic... I have ALL repositories selected... which is the best 686 kernel version to use?
[01:28] <Flannel> dragonriot: the -generic one
[01:28] <IndyGunFreak> Oritemis: i question any "instructions' that tell you to use a root erminal, and not sudo.
[01:28] <xtknight> dragonriot, best for what?
[01:28] <lufis> goodbrain: you still there?
[01:28] <Flannel> dragonriot: linux-generic
[01:28] <lachlan121> wow i replied to a bot, i feel like such an idiot haha. anyway, xtknight, tanubis and stormx2, or anyone else interested in helping, can you please visit the thread i started http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2275299#post2275299
[01:28] <Thehound666> and I was 1 step ahead lufis, I used a prog under windows that tests the read/write of the HDD
[01:28] <lilrayray> xtknight: At the splash screen the bar increased to about two mm and then stopped, dead in the water
[01:28] <goodbrain> Lufis: yes
[01:28] <dragonriot> Flannel, for a P4?
[01:28] <Thehound666> it came up fine
[01:28] <Flannel> dragonriot: yes.  There are no arch specific kernels anymore.  If you install any other one, all it does is drag in -generic
[01:28] <dragonriot> the generic kernel does not provide SMP
[01:28] <Flannel> dragonriot: yes it does
[01:28] <lufis> goodbrain: how many partitions do you have and what filesystems?
[01:28] <Thehound666> Western Digital 500 GB
[01:29] <Thehound666> main drive if that helps
[01:29] <xtknight> lilrayray, hrm odd problem .  HD is setup to boot first?
[01:29] <cables> Oritemis, it's probably safer to use sudo for each command you need to run as root, but like I said, sudo -i will do it for you. Just make sure you don't do anything dangerous while still in the root term.
[01:29] <xtknight> lilrayray, sorry ignore that msg, wrong person
[01:29] <cables> dragonriot, it definitely does.
[01:29] <Oritemis> IndyGunFreak, hummm, better to go to another howto? I am trying to config a internet connection share.
[01:29] <xtknight> lachlan121,   hrm odd problem .  HD is setup to boot first?
[01:29] <lachlan121> yep
[01:29] <Thehound666> fairly new, the 3 year old windows install was ghosted from an older drive
[01:29] <Flannel> dragonriot: the generic kernel loads in all the CPU specific optomizations at runtime
[01:29] <cables> Oritemis, just use sudo before every command you need to run as root.
[01:29] <Thehound666> which is now a slave
[01:29] <IndyGunFreak> Oritemis: if it specifically tells you not to use sudo, then yes
[01:29] <lachlan121> it is set as primiary master
[01:29] <xtknight> lachlan121, that does not mean it is set to boot first
[01:29] <lilrayray> xtknight: sooo, any other ideas?
[01:29] <goodbrain> lufis: i dont really know.  This might be where it fucked up; I didnt really know what i was doing when i partitioned this thing
[01:29] <blanky> tanubis: keeps complaining that I didn't choose an interface, but I did, eth0
[01:29] <xtknight> lachlan121, often times cdroms and floppies boot before Hd by default.  take out all cds and floppies then try?
[01:30] <Flannel> Oritemis, IndyGunFreak, a root prompt (sudo -i) is fine.  Even if it tells you not to use sudo, use sudo -i
[01:30] <lachlan121> xtknight: really?
[01:30] <xtknight> lachlan121, really
[01:30] <dragonriot> well... not to doubt you guys, but when I enable SMP in a hand built kernel, 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' returns 2 processors, but when I'm running the generic kernel, it only shows 1...
[01:30] <lufis> Thehound666: i dont know, if it keeps getting fs errors it sounds like a drive issue. is it multi-platter? maybe only one is messed up maybe?
[01:30] <Oritemis> IndyGunFreak, Flannel ok, I will.
[01:30] <tanubis> blanky: have you started to capture anything from eth0? and is eth0 up and running?
[01:30] <lufis> goodbrain: ah, well, one sec. let me try to figure this out
[01:30] <lachlan121> xtknight: i have tried it without cd roms and floppies with no success
[01:30] <SpudDogg> Does anyone know why I cannot change track info in Rhythmbox?  Every time I make a change I get "Error while saving song information; Internal GStreamer problem; file a bug"  *FRUSTRATED*
[01:30] <Thehound666> not sure on that. how would I check if it's multiplatter?
[01:30] <lufis> goodbrain: you said you can access everything, you just can't write to it, right?
[01:30] <xtknight> lachlan121, well try setting HD as the primary boot device.  it's defintiely in the bios somewhere
[01:30] <IndyGunFreak> Flannel: i guess i just disagree, sudo is sudo for a reason, if it was safe to use sudo -i, they'd just use Root accounts.
[01:30] <blanky> tanubis: eth0 is up and running, that's what I'm using for net, that's how I'm on here haha, I clicked on Capture > Start
[01:30] <lufis> SpudDogg: use amarok. :P
[01:30] <xtknight> lilrayray, you could try a nonsmp kernel perhaps.  i dont know.  when does it freeze though with both cores active?
[01:30] <dragonriot> Flannel and cables, well... not to doubt you guys, but when I enable SMP in a hand built kernel, 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' returns 2 processors, but when I'm running the generic kernel, it only shows 1...
[01:30] <dxdt> SpudDogg, known bug, pisses me off too.  :(  It only does it at random
[01:31] <lachlan121> xtknight: the very closest i came to progress was when i changed the plugs on my hd to cable select instead of master
[01:31] <cables> dragonriot, are you using Dapper?
[01:31] <dragonriot> Edgy
[01:31] <SpudDogg> dxdt: any talk of a fix/update for it?
[01:31] <dragonriot> cables ^^^^
[01:31] <Flannel> IndyGunFreak: For his purposes, where it says "not to use sudo", that's probably because he's piping commands and the HowTo writer doesn't know how to use tee.
[01:31] <cables> dragonriot, there may be some bug or exception, but generic works with 2 processors for me.
[01:31] <goodbrain> Lufis: here's my partitions as they show up:
[01:31] <cables> dragonriot, recognizes both.
[01:31] <dxdt> SpudDogg, I think I was the fourth person to file a bug report for it.... not sure where the update is.. probably next version
[01:31] <IndyGunFreak> Flannel: could be.
[01:31] <lufis> Thehound666: well with the drive being so large i would guess it's multiplatter
[01:31] <Thehound666> oh and could the fact I had a few power failures hurt ext3 more than ntfs
[01:31] <Flannel> IndyGunFreak: But, sudo -i is better than su, because it means you don't have to enable root
[01:31] <lilrayray> xtknight: it seems pretty random.  What is odd though, is that I was using only the command line and no X or gdm for a long time and it was perfectly stable
[01:31] <Thehound666> sorry for mentioning that critical thing
[01:31] <blanky> tanubis: I got it
[01:31] <tanubis> blanky: not sure why then...  I have a similar setup going right now monitoring a port
[01:31] <dragonriot> cables, did you do any custom config to your kernel or is it pure generic?
[01:32] <Thehound666> not mentioning*
[01:32] <tanubis> blanky: awesome :)
[01:32] <xtknight> lachlan121, i suspect a misconfiguration
[01:32] <IndyGunFreak> Flannel: you're probably right on that.
[01:32] <blanky> thanks tanubis
[01:32] <Theory5> what do i do on ubuntu server edition after i do the command sudo apt-get install apache2?
[01:32] <Theory5> where is it installed?
[01:32] <cables> Thehound666, they're both journalling, so they shouldn't have problems with ower failures
[01:32] <SpudDogg> dxdt: so for now I should use banshee or amarok then?
[01:32] <goodbrain> Lufis: Windows NTFS in /dev/hda1
[01:32] <xtknight> lilrayray, how did you deduce that it was the second core's problem?
[01:32] <cables> dragonriot, nope, out of the box.
[01:32] <lachlan121> i will have a look around in the bios, but i'm hnestly not very experienced in such things
[01:32] <lilrayray> xtknight: because I received identical problems in dapper when I enabled the second core
[01:32] <Flannel> Theory5: all over the place.  /etc/apache2 is the config files, which is probably what you're looking for.  `sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart` restarts it
[01:33] <Theory5> and then starts it?
[01:33] <GenNMX> My workstation's screen is frozen, even though X isn't running. How do I unfreeze it?
[01:33] <goodbrain> Lufis: Extended3 and Memory Swap in /dev/hdb5
[01:33] <Thehound666> if these incidents were isolated, should I reinstall or does fsck fix it well enough?
[01:33] <Theory5> im using the desktop for server edition
[01:33] <lufis> goodbrain: what is hdb? another drive?
[01:33] <Thehound666> it looks fine right now
[01:33] <dimeotane> how do I add to a multisession cd?  Both k3b and gnomebaker give me errors
[01:33] <xtknight> lilrayray, i dont know what to say.  odd problem.  any options for HPET in the bios?
[01:33] <Thehound666> but looks aren't always so
[01:33] <goodbrain> Lufis: yeah, there's two HDDs
[01:34] <Theory5> so how do i start apache2?
[01:34] <xtknight> lilrayray, also what's your motherboard, chipset, etc?
[01:34] <dxdt> dxdt, maybe, that's really the only bug so you could also use another program to change the info and then stick with RHythmbox if that's your first choice.  I'm waiting for songbird to mature and using Rhythmbox and Amarok mostly
[01:34] <lufis> goodbrain: ah, ok. windows is the hda1?
[01:34] <ardchoille> Theory5: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
[01:34] <Theory5> k
[01:34] <lachlan121> xtknight: crap
[01:34] <dimeotane> anyone else have a problem appending to multisession cd-r discs?
[01:34] <goodbrain> lufis: it should be
[01:34] <Thehound666> I should use names in this heated room
[01:35] <lachlan121> xtknight: it tried to boot linux and gave me 'image checksum error, sorry'
[01:35] <blanky> hey guys there isn't any 'find in files' tool in gedit?
[01:35] <dragonriot> cables, if I use the 'debian Sid' repository to find the 2.6.20 kernel, it shows 486 and 686... no longer offering generic... are you saying I should be installing the 486 kernel?
[01:35] <lufis> goodbrain: which are you having trouble accessing? you can read all of them but not write, right?
[01:35] <whonicca> sorry to be a pain but whats the command to upgrade ur kernel to the latest one available?
[01:35] <xtknight> lachlan121, odd.
[01:35] <lachlan121> xtknight: and im positive i checksummed the iso before burning it
[01:35] <Thehound666> lufis: if these couple incidents were isolated after power failures, should I reinstall or does fsck fix things well enough?
[01:35] <lilrayray> xtknight: well, it is a Dell, so Im guessing intel motherboard (I think it is like the I945p or something), 2gb ddr2 Mushkin Ram and an nvidia 8800 gts (didnt have this in dapper)
[01:35] <q_> please, a good manual for configuring ubuntu 6.10 as router, thanks!
[01:35] <cables> dragonriot, I'm not too good at the kernel stuff, but I know that -generic is working with SMP for me.
[01:35] <xtknight> whonicca, sudo apt-get upgrade linux-image-generic
[01:35] <towsonu2003> what was the name of the text editor in xfce? thanks
[01:36] <lufis> Thehound666: dunno, if you don't have anything too critical on it, i wouldn't worry about it. if fsck isn't doing anything then i don't guess it's something to worry about
[01:36] <cables> towsonu2003, I think it's mousepad
[01:36] <ardchoille> towsonu2003: mousepad ?
[01:36] <goodbrain> lufis: I cant acces hda1 or my CDROM or DVDROM drive
[01:36] <Thehound666> lufis: If Ubuntu blows up, I have the ext3 utility on Windows, hope it's good
[01:36] <lufis> Thehound666: me too :P
[01:36] <ardchoille> cables: lol
[01:37] <Thehound666> it seemed to be in a breif test
[01:37] <xtknight> lachlan121, but how do you know the cd is ok?
[01:37] <Thehound666> pulled a game off Ubuntu
[01:37] <lufis> goodbrain: what do you mean by access? you can't read or write to either?
[01:37] <xtknight> lilrayray, really not sure.  try noacpi also that can disable SMP i think
[01:37] <lachlan121> i burned it at x1 if that makes any difference
[01:37] <Theory5> when i do that all it says is * usage /etc/init.d/gdm {start|stop|restart|reload|force reload} what do i do??
[01:37] <xtknight> lilrayray, instead of no smp try this: "acpi=off noacpi nolapic noapic"  sorry not sure if it's acpi=off or noacpi that's right, but it should work anyway
[01:37] <IndyGunFreak> lachlan121: have you tried the alternate install cd?
[01:37] <lachlan121> xtknight: are there any special checks i should make on the integrity of the cd?
[01:37] <Flannel> Theory5: `sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start`
[01:38] <xtknight> lachlan121, did you use the cd checker at the bootup of the ubuntu CD?
[01:38] <Flannel> Theory5: eh, might as well do restart, just incase it's already started
[01:38] <lilrayray> xtknight: ok, Ill try that thanks for the help
[01:38] <Theory5> thats what i did and it said what i just told u it sayd
[01:38] <lachlan121> indygunfreak: yes i have, and i've managed to install succesfully with that, it appears that booting is the problem
[01:38] <goodbrain> lufis: well my big problem here is with the CDROM, i can probably re-format the HDD and get it working, but the CD ROM has me stumped
[01:38] <lufis> goodbrain: what happens?
[01:38] <Flannel> Theory5: That's not what you did then.  You need the start on the end
[01:38] <whonicca> xtknight, ty
[01:38] <arrozconevan> im fckin retarded
[01:38] <Theory5> i put the start on the dend
[01:38] <xtknight> whonicca, sorry i think it's "install" instead of "upgrade" actually
[01:38] <lachlan121> xtknight: no, i didnt, i'll try that now
[01:39] <Thehound666> isn't it fsckin retarded?
[01:39] <Thehound666> >.>
[01:39] <Theory5>  sudo /etc/init.d/gdm apache2 start is what i typed and it said what i told u it said
[01:39] <towsonu2003> ardchoille, thanks a lot :)
[01:39] <Flannel> Theory5: no. No.
[01:39] <goodbrain> lufis: I have a disc in it now, it recognizes it as audio, lists the tracks and their length in the Disks manager, but it wont let me play the CD, as if the button doesnt function
[01:39] <Theory5> what then?
[01:39] <Flannel> Theory5: To restart apache, it's "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart"
[01:39] <xtknight> lachlan121, it could be a hardware problem
[01:39] <Theory5> i tried that to
[01:39] <lufis> goodbrain: humm... what app are you using?
[01:39] <Theory5> got the same thing
[01:39] <Flannel> Theory5: to start GDM it's "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart"
[01:39] <xtknight> lachlan121, like memory or HD setup
[01:39] <goodbrain> lufis: i get this error message a lot:
[01:40] <Theory5> so i got to restart gdm first?
[01:40] <Flannel> Theory5: no.
[01:40] <Theory5> then what?
[01:40] <Flannel> Theory5: I thought you were back trying to get a GUI
[01:40] <arrozconevan> brb and i will say why i am so retarded
[01:40] <Flannel> Theory5: just the apache2 thing
[01:40] <Theory5> the gui worked
[01:40] <Thehound666> I can try hdb by copying with Acronis and using gag. Does Acronis copy ext3 ok?
[01:40] <Scalarscience> if i have a server install on my harddrive that isn't booting, and i have booted to the desktop livecd, how do i mount the filesystem from the HD so i can check the logs and see where the kernel is dying?
[01:40] <Theory5> i tell u i typed what u said and it didnt work'
[01:40] <Flannel> Theory5: Did you type it with quotes? or without quotes?  And, in that same case?
[01:41] <Theory5> no quotes
[01:41] <tanubis> aight, I guess I'll give this one more shot: I've got a camera, it's a nexxtech VGA.  I've been trying to install it for about four hours...  I ran easyspcd to install camera drivers, downloaded camorama to test it with along with gnomemeeting.  When I connect it to the USB, it detects, but immediately gives device descriptor read/8, error -110
[01:41] <tanubis>  twice.  And I can't detect that I have any video capture hardware with gnomemeeting or camorama.  What can I try next?
[01:41] <goodbrain> Lufis: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9738/
[01:41] <tallhairydad> How do I play streaming audio from a URL in an .asx format?
[01:41] <Vik_> ok so can anyone help me?!
[01:41] <lufis> goodbrain: k
[01:41] <lachlan121> xtknight: possibly. i just tried to boot the cd and it won't boot that either ( i still get the checksum error, despite telling the computer to boot from cd)
[01:41] <Flannel> Theory5: good, no quotes is good.  You installed apache2, right? not apache?
[01:41] <Theory5> yup
[01:41] <xtknight> Scalarscience, mount it (e.g. "sudo mkdir -p /mount/broken && sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mount/broken")   then look at /mount/broken/var/log/kern.log
[01:41] <Theory5> i typed what it said to type on the documentation on ubuntu.com
[01:41] <Scalarscience> ty xtnight
[01:41] <Flannel> Theory5: then `sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart` will restart apache
[01:42] <xtknight> lachlan121, i'd run memtest86.  actually that's on the ubuntu cd i think
[01:42] <Theory5> thank u i though u said  sudo /etc/init.d/gdm apache2 start
[01:42] <xtknight> lachlan121, your RAM might be 'broken'
[01:42] <Vik_> ubuntu gets to the slash screen but not any further what do i do?
[01:42] <lufis> tallhairydad: bear?
[01:42] <lachlan121> xtknight: but i cant get the live cd to boot now
[01:42] <jekson_> how can i mount an img file located in a network computer where is connected over samba
[01:42] <Theory5> now what?
[01:42] <Vik_> i have ZERO linux experience
[01:42] <q_> thanks guys, very helpful this ubuntu community :(
[01:43] <Theory5> now what do i do after i restart apache2?
[01:43] <Flannel> Theory5: Now... you've restarted apache.  Whatever changes you made to your config fiels are now in effect
[01:43] <lachlan121> xtknight: the live cd ran out of RAM without a hitch before, so if it malfuctioned it would have been within the last hour or so
[01:43] <tallhairydad> lufis yes
[01:43] <Scalarscience> xtknight: /dev/hda1 or /dev/hda0 ?
[01:43] <lufis> tallhairydad: me too :P
[01:43] <xtknight> Scalarscience, 1 for the first HD/partition
[01:43] <Scalarscience> k cheers
[01:43] <arrozconevan> lachlan: is it ok if i pm you?
[01:43] <lufis> q_: a lot of times people don't answer because they simply don't know. you can try ubuntuforums.org
[01:43] <Theory5> but i made no changes, all i did was install it
[01:43] <xtknight> lachlan121, yikes i dont know.
[01:43] <lachlan121> i wont be able to rpely
[01:43] <jekson_> how can i mount an img file where is located in a network computer
[01:43] <lachlan121> reply*
[01:43] <arrozconevan> can you pm me then
[01:43] <xtknight> q_, sarcasm or did you mean a happy face?
[01:43] <bruenig> !pm
[01:44] <ubotu> Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first.
[01:44] <jekson_> how can i mount an img file where is located in a other network computer
[01:44] <AnDrEs_1104> HOLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
[01:44] <bruenig> !caps | AnDrEs_1104
[01:44] <ubotu> AnDrEs_1104: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[01:44] <Theory5> so where can i put my webpages and how do i make a domain name?
[01:44] <Vik_> WTFF!!!!!
[01:44] <bruenig> !hi | AnDrEs_1104
[01:44] <ubotu> AnDrEs_1104: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[01:44] <xtknight> chill

[01:44] <ubotu> AnDrEs_1104: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[01:44] <arrozconevan> vete de este canal!
[01:44] <q_> plain sarcasm, when you feel touched you answered instantly......
[01:44] <arrozconevan> aqui hablamos ingles solamente!
[01:44] <arrozconevan> :)
[01:44] <xtknight> q_, how about telling us your question
[01:44] <Flannel> Theory5: You put your webpages in /var/www, like... uh, somene else already said.  Domain names you have to pay for, or use some free server (like dyndns)
[01:45] <AnDrEs_1104> OK OK
[01:45] <lachlan121> arrozconevan: im not a registered membe. you can pm me on the forums (my nick is 'rednut')
[01:45] <xtknight> rather than all this emo stuff ;P
[01:45] <AnDrEs_1104> JA JA JA
[01:45] <Theory5> i thought THIS ubuntu server edition is a server?
[01:45] <lufis> goodbrain: ok, try this: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab   put "defaults rw" in the /dev/hdd line after "iso"
[01:45] <Vik_> DOES ANYONE KOW ANYTHING HERE!!!!!!!!!
[01:45] <Flannel> Theory5: it is a server.  Domain names aren't somethingyou do on the server.
[01:45] <crimsun> Vik_: no
[01:45] <blanky> Vik_: what's the question
[01:45] <arrozconevan> ok, i just installed ubuntu from xp because i hate windows, but i know nothing about linux at all (i know...) and everything works fine except i can't change the resolution higher than 800*600 and I dont know why
[01:45] <bruenig> !attitude | Vik_
[01:45] <ubotu> Vik_: The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[01:45] <arrozconevan> can anyone help?
[01:45] <xtknight> lachlan121, so nothing boots correctly?  fried mobo/psu?  :(
[01:46] <Theory5> so i got to pay to make a URL for MY server?
[01:46] <bruenig> !xconfig | arrozconevan
[01:46] <ubotu> arrozconevan: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  - To configure only the driver and resolution, type  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh  - See also !FixRes
[01:46] <blanky> arrozconevan: do you have a video card?
[01:46] <xtknight> lachlan121, could still be the ram too, not likely it's a cpu issue
[01:46] <blanky> arrozconevan: if so, then you might want to install your drivers, ati or nvidia?
[01:46] <IndyGunFreak> arrozconevan: follow bruenig's advice
[01:46] <jekson_> how can i mount on my laptop an img file where is located on my desktop computer.the computers are connected over samba
[01:46] <bruenig> ubotu's advice
[01:46] <Flannel> Theory5: You need to pay to get a real domain name, yes.  Because that's not done on your server.  You host on your server
[01:46] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about s advice - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:46] <Tonren> Can someone help me get sound working in DosBox?
[01:46] <xtknight> jekson_, best tihng to do is to copy the iso first.  then mount with "loop"
[01:46] <ShiftyPowers> anybody having trouble with the latest nvidia drivers not loading GLX module?
[01:47] <xtknight> jekson_, mount -t iso9660 -o loop  i believe, there's docs on it
[01:47] <IndyGunFreak> bruenig: well, you shared ubotu's wonderful wisdom with him...lol
[01:47] <bruenig> !iso
[01:47] <ubotu> To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[01:47] <lachlan121> xtknigiht: im not sure what a mobo is, but i sincerely hope not.  if that is the case, then ubuntu officially hates me. I tried installing it on my last computer which exloded into flames, bought a new computer for the purpose of installing it, and now its dead also:(
[01:47] <jekson_> i know this options but exists any other
[01:47] <Theory5> so if i want people veiw stuff i put on my server i gotta pay?
[01:47] <goodbrain> lufis: so replace "iso9660  0  0" with "iso9660 defaults r w"?
[01:47] <xtknight> lachlan121, mobo is short for motherboard or mainboard
[01:47] <Vik_> seriuosly i just need help. slavic WAS helping but he dissappered. I'm trying to lean Linux and have no clue what i'm doing so i cant even help myself. It's a first for me and a very crappy feeling
[01:47] <lufis> goodbrain: yes, but not spaced between rw
[01:47] <daaku> anyone know how i can pipe binary data (bzip2 file) through ssh into a file on the remote host?
[01:47] <xtknight> goodbrain, i believe you mean "iso9660 defaults,rw 0 0"  0 0s need to be there
[01:47] <PriceChild> Theory5, you could use someone like no-ip.info or dyndns
[01:47] <arrozconevan> did i just paste something into this chat?:
[01:48] <xtknight> arrozconevan, no
[01:48] <arrozconevan> o ok thanks
[01:48] <PriceChild> Theory5, they will give you a freee "domain" (with their suffix) to point to your machine
[01:48] <Stormx2> lachlan121: Same CD/ISO uses?
[01:48] <Flannel> Theory5: no.  They can browse to your IP just fine.  And you can setup free DNS servers, which also work with dynamic IPs
[01:48] <Theory5> im really confused
[01:48] <lufis> xtknight: they're already there
[01:48] <sharyari> Hello
[01:48] <xtknight> Vik_, did you try the ubuntu books/guides online
[01:48] <jekson_> xtknight i know this options but exists any other
[01:48] <Theory5> thanks
[01:48] <Flannel> Theory5: If you want something like "theory.com", youll need to pay for it
[01:48] <lachlan121> xtknight: well, i don;t see why it should be broken. the computer is relatively new, and i got the impression thats its motherboard/chipset etc were all top of the line.
[01:48] <Theory5> but if i want somthing like blah blah blah.net i gotta pay?
[01:48] <arrozconevan> blanky can you pm me
[01:48] <Vik_> i tried but i got nothing
[01:48] <Tonren> Anyone?  Why would DosBox's sound not work?
[01:48] <xtknight> jekson_, not really.  it's not safe to mount an iso off a network source, really
[01:48] <lachlan121> stormx2: yes, im using the same cd as before
[01:48] <lufis> Tonren: dosbox? this is #ubuntu :P
[01:48] <bruenig> Theory5, you can't have spaces
[01:48] <sharyari> I just encountered somthing I doubt is normal ubuntu behavior... (probably not even ubuntu-related)
[01:48] <Theory5> i know
[01:49] <goodbrain> lufis: ok and then i just save it?
[01:49] <matthew1429> anyone any good with ffmpeg?  I just want to convert an asf file into mp3
[01:49] <Tonren> lufis: An operating system's worth is directly proportional to the applications which run on it.
[01:49] <lufis> goodbrain: yes, and then run sudo mount -a
[01:49] <xtknight> lachlan121, new stuff can be broken just as easily, unfortunately
[01:49] <bruenig> matthew1429, I thought asf was a video file container
[01:49] <lufis> Tonren: dosbox is an app?
[01:49] <Theory5> what about a .net do i have to pay for a domain name that ends in .net?
[01:49] <gesus> hey where could i find the launch file for a program (like .exe in windows) by default.  i am looking for the launch file for azerus so i can associate it with .torrent files.  thankyou.
[01:49] <xtknight> lachlan121, my friend just had a brand new videocard the other day that smoked
[01:49] <Flannel> Theory5: yes
[01:49] <Tonren> lufis: Yes!  It lets you run old DOS applications (particularly games) on Linux.
[01:49] <lufis> Tonren: oh, nevermind, sorry
[01:49] <jrib> !defaultapp | gesus
[01:49] <ubotu> gesus: To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting. In Kubuntu, Konqueror -> Settings -> Configure and then hit "File Associations"
[01:49] <blanky> arrozconevan: I pm'ed you
[01:49] <Tonren> lufis: S'ok - you had good intentions, anyway!
[01:49] <bruenig> gesus, how did you install azureus, if through the repos, it is probably /usr/bin/azureus
[01:50] <matthew1429> bruenig: it is, but vlc will only save audio it rips from online to this format successfully
[01:50] <lufis> Tonren: i thought it was another dos clone
[01:50] <xtknight> gesus, type "which azureus"
[01:50] <sharyari> In the middle of playing Diablo II, my keyboard died and so I restarted the computer. Now after the grub boot, nothing happens, it doesn't boot anything. Does this sound familiar?
[01:50] <Theory5> so what was the free domain name site u talked about?
[01:50] <Flannel> Theory5: unless you want a subdomain somewhere.  [your-whatever] .something.net is available, there are a few dynamic, free, DNS servers out there
[01:50] <jekson_> xtknight this is possible when i use a command mount -t smbfs it's true
[01:50] <lufis> Tonren: as a stand-alone os
[01:50] <lachlan121> xtknight: damn:( having two comnputers do so in the space of three weeks is a bit of a pain though
[01:50] <arrozconevan> !xconfig arrozconevan
[01:50] <Flannel> Theory5: dyndns, no-ip, etc
[01:50] <xtknight> jekson_, well it is possible just not ideal.  but what is wrong with "mount -o loop" ?
[01:50] <arrozconevan> can someone do that thing again
[01:50] <PriceChild> Theory5, no-ip.info or dyndns
[01:50] <arrozconevan> i closed the window
[01:50] <eck> sharyari: i would check your hard drive
[01:50] <Tonren> lufis: Nope... it's a col Linux app
[01:50] <xtknight> lachlan121, hrm two computers are doing this?
[01:50] <bruenig> ubotu, tell arrozconevan about xconfig
[01:50] <lufis> Tonren: ah
[01:50] <Stormx2> lachlan121: Perhaps you should re-download the iso... you trying edgy, yeah?
[01:50] <sharyari> eck: for what?
[01:50] <matthew1429> maybe I should ask this question... does anyone know of an easy way to record a mms site ?
[01:50] <goodbrain> lufis: it said the line was bad
[01:50] <matthew1429> I'm using vlc and it saves as .asf
[01:51] <xtknight> matthew1429, mplayer can save the mms protocol
[01:51] <lufis> goodbrain: paste the /dev/hdd line here
[01:51] <xtknight> matthew1429, asf is from mms
[01:51] <jekson_> xtknight but 4,7G dbd is too big for my 54Mbps wirelles network
[01:51] <eck> sharyari: if you can't boot your computer, it is likely to be a problem with the hard drive (although there are other candidates)
[01:51] <matthew1429> yeah, that's console related
[01:51] <slick_> hi, I've created a CD using ubuntu, is it possible to read it from a windows system?
[01:51] <matthew1429> and I'm confused with all of the man files
[01:51] <lufis> slick_: yes
[01:51] <eck> sharyari: at the very least you should fsck it
[01:51] <jekson_> xtknight but 4,7G dvd is too big for my 54Mbps wirelles network
[01:51] <PriceChild> slick_, should be fine
[01:51] <arrozconevan> thanks im glad you guys arent mad at me for being so ignornat about linux :)
[01:51] <xtknight> jekson_, well you will just have to wait and copy the iso.  it shouldn't take THAT long to copy.
[01:51] <goodbrain> /dev/hdd /media/cdrom0 iso9660  defaults, rw  0 0
[01:51] <lufis> slick_: cds use a standard filesystem generally
[01:51] <IndyGunFreak> arrozconevan: it takes a while before we get mad
[01:51] <goodbrain> lufis: /dev/hdd /media/cdrom0 iso9660  defaults, rw  0 0
[01:51] <matthew1429> xtknight: I have mplayer but am getting lost in the mans that I'm googling
[01:51] <arrozconevan> :)
[01:52] <lufis> goodbrain:  no comma i don't think
[01:52] <matthew1429> <---- still quite a noob
[01:52] <lachlan121> stormx2: im trying 6.10. also, i have tried this with three different iso's (ubuntu i360, ubuntu alternative installer, and xubuntu) and all have failed
[01:52] <slick_> lufis oh right, because my PC  doesn't seem to be reading it, I'll try it in another PC
[01:52] <Flannel> lachlan121: Have they been good burns?
[01:52] <IndyGunFreak> lachlan121: so what are you doing wrong?
[01:52] <Stormx2> lachlan121: That sucks... Burnt slow, yeah? 1x?
[01:52] <xtknight> matthew1429, what are you getting stuck on?
[01:52] <Tonren> matthew1429: It's all really intimidating at first, but everything starts to make sense eventually - I promise!
[01:52] <goodbrain> Lufis: still bad
[01:52] <lachlan121> xtknight: i fared simlarly with my last computer, yes
[01:52] <curdie> hi there i have stupid question.... How do you control hardware settings in ubuntu? And how do you control witch services are on and off..
[01:52] <lufis> goodbrain: what's it say?
[01:52] <matthew1429> is mplayer console specific only?
[01:52] <sharyari> eck: ok
[01:52] <gesus> jrib, thanks problem solved.  thanks bruenig and xtknight.
[01:53] <lachlan121> stormx2: yeah, i burned at x 1
[01:53] <marshall> hey guys
[01:53] <xtknight> curdie, what kind of hardware settings?  services are under System->Administration->Services
[01:53] <eck> sharyari: it's also worth giving memtest a go
[01:53] <Theory5> so lets go over this one more time, where do i put my web pages and files?
[01:53] <bruenig> !howdy | marshall
[01:53] <ubotu> marshall: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[01:53] <matthew1429> I have a gui called totem on my computer
[01:53] <goodbrain> lufis: /dev/hdd /media/cdrom0 iso9660  defaults rw  0 0
[01:53] <matthew1429> hehe
[01:53] <bruenig> Theory5, /var/www
[01:53] <cebra> halo
[01:53] <eck> it should be one of the grub boot options
[01:53] <sharyari> memtest, doesn't that take hours?
[01:53] <marshall> how do i use blackdown java? my frostwire window comes up empty
[01:53] <curdie> like adding a hard disk
[01:53] <Stormx2> lachlan121: Gone into the livecd and reinstalled grub?
[01:53] <lachlan121> indygunfreak: im not sure, but i seem to be doing it fairly consistantly
[01:53] <arrozconevan> in the xserver configure thing, how do i press ok?
[01:53] <IndyGunFreak> matthew1429: totem is fine.
[01:53] <lufis> goodbrain: hm, remove "Defaults"
[01:53] <eck> depends how much ram you have; you can just let it run overnight
[01:53] <matthew1429> it'd be nice if I could just click on something, point it to a file, and tell it to convert... or find a script that does this
[01:53] <curdie> or display resolution
[01:53] <Flannel> marshall: Why use blackdown? (frostwire doesn't work with blackdown), why not just use sun's java?
[01:53] <wo1ferine> marshall: what is blackdown java?
[01:53] <lachlan121> stormx2,: i can't boot into live Cd anymore
[01:53] <xtknight> matthew1429, make a script?  :)
[01:53] <IndyGunFreak> lachlan121: my guess is probably a memory prob.
[01:53] <sharyari> If I don't get it running, I probably will :P
[01:53] <bruenig> matthew1429, you should write it
[01:53] <blanky> arrozconevan: I PM'ed you, are you there?
[01:53] <eck> it is probably faster than doing a full badblocks scan of the hard drive though
[01:54] <Stormx2> lachlan121: Why not?
[01:54] <IndyGunFreak> lachlan121: alternate install should usually work no matter what.
[01:54] <marshall> Flannel, thats how i solved the empty window problem before with frostwire
[01:54] <arrozconevan> blanky are you getting my pms?
[01:54] <matthew1429> hard for me to write a script if I cant successfully do it
[01:54] <IndyGunFreak> lachlan121: what type of media are you using?
[01:54] <matthew1429> but I will
[01:54] <goodbrain> lufis: now it gives me that same error message
[01:54] <blanky> arrozconevan: Um, no, here, I'll send you somthing
[01:54] <Comrade-Sergei> how do i uninstall cedega?
[01:54] <xtknight> Stormx2, IndyGunFreak, lachlan121 may have HW problems.
[01:54] <marshall> wo1ferine, i think its just a different implementation of java
[01:54] <blanky> arrozconevan: did you see that? I think you need to register
[01:54] <arrozconevan> yes i could see that
[01:54] <IndyGunFreak> xtknight: its possible...
[01:54] <blanky> !register | arrow__
[01:54] <ubotu> arrow__: Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[01:54] <goodbrain> lufis: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9738/
[01:54] <arrozconevan> with the nickserv?
[01:54] <marshall> wo1ferine, im not entirely sure
[01:54] <lufis> goodbrain: i don't know, but it sounds like upgrading messed a lot of stuff up. i think you should save yourself the trouble and just reinstall
[01:54] <wo1ferine> is there a seperate chan for synaptic?
[01:54] <sharyari> eck: well, fsck didn't find anything wrong with my partition :/
[01:54] <IndyGunFreak> lachlan121: what type of media are you using?
[01:54] <bruenig> !pm | arrozconevan
[01:54] <ubotu> arrozconevan: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first.
[01:55] <Comrade-Sergei> wait nm i got it
[01:55] <blanky> arrozconevan: yes with nickserv, /msg nickserv register yourpasswordhere
[01:55] <wo1ferine> marshall: what are you using java for exactly?
[01:55] <rwxr-xr--> ijust run this package  "sudo apt-get install build-essential " now can i configure ?
[01:55] <Tonren> Anyone?  Sound in DosBox?
[01:55] <eck> sharyari: you need to do a full scan to really be sure; it probably just replayed the journal
[01:55] <blanky> arrozconevan: after you register you should be able to pm me
[01:55] <xtknight> wo1ferine, no there is not a synaptic channel but you can ask the questions heree
[01:55] <eck> a full scan generally takes at least an hour
[01:55] <marshall> wo1ferine, im trying to run frostwire
[01:55] <xtknight> rwxr-xr--, yes
[01:55] <Flannel> Tonren: maybe try #dosbox
[01:55] <bruenig> rwxr-xr--, you already could have configured, now you can make and make install
[01:55] <lachlan121> stormx2: I have set boot order  to CD first. but I get the error "iso linux3.11 blah blah isolinux: imaqge checksum error, sorry"
[01:55] <Tonren> Flannel: No one's active
[01:55] <wo1ferine> thanks xtknight
[01:55] <rwxr-xr--> okie thanks
[01:55] <sharyari> eck: allright :)
[01:55] <GionnyBoss> where can I find tcl ad tk 8.5 .deb packages? I had it in my pendrive and I unfortunately deleted them. Can anybody help me please? I need them to install aMSN well :)
[01:55] <arrozconevan> it says my name is already registered
[01:55] <wo1ferine> ill try and read a bit more, then come back
[01:55] <matthew1429> im just getting lost in all of the commands
[01:55] <matthew1429> for mplayer
[01:55] <arrozconevan> what are the chances of that?
[01:55] <marshall> Flannel, do you know how to fix the empty frostwire window?
[01:55] <matthew1429> sigh
[01:55] <wo1ferine> marshall: what is that?
[01:56] <xtknight> bruenig, actually configure will stop when it says it can't make executables.  so you may have to run configure again
[01:56] <lachlan121> indygunfreak: im burning to CDR if thats what your asking?
[01:56] <Vik_> Thank for nothing everyone, and crappy answers, no willingness to help, you all SUCK, except for slavic and vox\
[01:56] <goodbrain> lufis: yeah, ill just downgrade and see what I can do.
[01:56] <blanky> arrozconevan: have you registered already? Probably someone else already took it, if that's the case, then you'll need another nickname
[01:56] <Gorgapor> so, I found the answer to my earlier question, and thought i might share. The best way I found to see when a file has changed is with "fileschanged". that's the name of the command, and also the name of the package.
[01:56] <blanky> arrozconevan: otherwise, do you have AIM/MSN or something like that?
[01:56] <IndyGunFreak> lachlan121: well, partially.
[01:56] <lufis> goodbrain: if you want dapper, just install dapper though
[01:56] <marshall> wolferine, its a GPL clone of limewire, the p2p app
[01:56] <Flannel> marshall: no idea.
[01:56] <Vik_> Thank for nothing everyone, and crappy answers, no willingness to help, you all SUCK, except for slavic and vox\
[01:56] <arrozconevan> yea sakitoku is my AIM
[01:56] <wo1ferine> oh
[01:56] <arrozconevan> someone was being an asshole then
[01:56] <arrozconevan> no one has arrozconevan
[01:56] <tom47> Vik_ whats the problem?
[01:56] <Stormx2> Vik_: You're welcome.
[01:56] <bruenig> xtknight, well it will stop when it can't find any of the necessary dependencies, so on that premise, he still may not be able to configure
[01:56] <wo1ferine> never did get into limewire
[01:56] <arrozconevan> its so original
[01:56] <ant> Vik_: keep up the great attitude, we're glad to of done nothing...
[01:56] <lufis> Vik_: no one is going to help with that attitude
[01:56] <crdlb> arrozconevan, If youve already registered, /msg nickserv identify password
[01:56] <xtknight> lolo
[01:56] <Vik_> stormx2 c*nt
[01:56] <IndyGunFreak> wolferine: its an ok program... but if you get the urge under linux, Frostwire runs fine.
[01:56] <goodbrain> lufis: i upgraded to dapper by renaming repositories, my CD is 5.04
[01:57] <xtknight> Vik_, get a tissue or simply leave, stay rational rather than emotional
[01:57] <bruenig> !ohmy | Vik_
[01:57] <blanky> arrozconevan: I added you, mine's msniswaybetter
[01:57] <Stormx2> Vik_: But really, whats the problem?
[01:57] <ubotu> Vik_: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[01:57] <Flannel> goodbrain: er... Warty to Dapper upgrades aren't supported.  You should've done it pieceswise (5.04 > 5.10 > 6.06)
[01:57] <matthew1429> vik... reminder... be happy for any FREE help you get
[01:57] <arrozconevan> someon in here registerd it just now
[01:57] <{pc}reap> what other linux installations use gnome?
[01:57] <lufis> goodbrain: ah, that's probably why. if you don't mind, i would just wipe ubuntu and install dapper from a disc
[01:57] <goodbrain> Flannel: I did
[01:57] <lufis> goodbrain: feisty will be about in about a month though if you don't mind waiting
[01:57] <rwxr-xr--> xtknight,: get back new mSg " configure: error: "Qt library is required to compile VyQChat!" "
[01:57] <Vik_> thats the problem there is no help
[01:57] <{pc}reap> what other installations are as easy as ubuntu
[01:57] <arrozconevan> i just logged on blanky
[01:57] <bruenig> {pc}reap, go to distrowatch and look around, there are far too many to list here
[01:58] <eck> {pc}reap: fedora uses gnome, i think opensuse too
[01:58] <lufis> Vik_: if you're only going to complain then leave
[01:58] <blanky> arrozconevan: okay, because I don't see you (Mine is msniswaybetter)
[01:58] <xtknight> {pc}reap, SUSE, fedora and debian are other common gnome-using distros
[01:58] <Vik_> the FEW people that were willing to help are gone till who knows when
[01:58] <daviey> for a shell script, i need to "ls /xxxx/ab*" and grab the first file returned to use as a variable ie $() - how can i do this?
[01:58] <SkippyX> cables, that did it - thank you very much.
[01:58] <Stormx2> Vik_: We don't actually owe you anything. Everyone here is here volunterily. If you go around complaining about the lack of support, what do you know, less support for you.
[01:58] <bruenig> fedora can do either, suse can do either
[01:58] <Vik_> i wish there was a ubuntu for dummies
[01:58] <goodbrain> lufis: well, i only went with ubuntu because i had this disk available and i didnt want to bother getting another one
[01:58] <Stormx2> Vik_: Help with?
[01:58] <IndyGunFreak> Vik_: you'r enot getting help cuz nobody likes you.
[01:58] <lufis> goodbrain: yeah, understandable
[01:58] <bruenig> Vik_, there is, it is called Ubuntu Christian Edition
[01:58] <cables> SkippyX, sorry, but I forget what I helped you with... was it your graphics card?
[01:58] <Vik_> i've never felt slow until know
[01:58] <eck> fedora is like ubuntu -- there is a pretty strong gnome bias
[01:58] <arrozconevan> ok NOW i'm here blanky
[01:58] <IndyGunFreak> Vik_: learn the secret handshake.
[01:58] <xtknight> daviey, you can try the "find *" command and with "xargs -l1 COMMAND" it will execute "COMMAND /file/that/existed/in/current/dir"
[01:58] <ant> bruenig : lol
[01:58] <Stormx2> bruenig: Bah, don't bring that up...
[01:58] <SkippyX> cables, yes, reconfiguring X
[01:58] <cables> SkippyX, whatever it was, no proble :)
[01:59] <SkippyX> Thanks again!
[01:59] <Vik_> ?
[01:59] <cables> SkippyX, *problem
[01:59] <goodbrain> Lufis: sabayon looks more appealing to me, i just didnt want to bother getting blank disks so i could burn the ISO
[01:59] <CarlFK> once I have done apt-get install tftpd-hpa, how do I get it to 'run' ?
[01:59] <xtknight> rwxr-xr--, install the Qt development lirbary: sudo apt-get install libqt3-dev
[01:59] <reap`> i have had so many problems getting ubuntu to install and work
[01:59] <lufis> goodbrain: yeah
[01:59] <reap`> figure ill try a different distro
[01:59] <jomino> Vik_,  just aks your question again
[01:59] <slick_> lufis the DVD is working on my other computer, so it must be a problem with the old drive I have in the other one, cheers for the help
[01:59] <Stormx2> Vik_: You may have asked a question before and not got a response. Fine, we feel bad, sorry. Ask again soon or the chances are you'll get less of a response. Ask and stop whining.
[01:59] <eck> CarlFK: from what i remember, you edit some config files and start the /etc/init.d/ script
[01:59] <xtknight> rwxr-xr--, install the Qt development lirbary: sudo apt-get install libqt3-mt-dev
[01:59] <xtknight> rwxr-xr--, fixed the name on the last one (libqt3-mt-dev)
[01:59] <lufis> slick_:  no problemo :)
[02:00] <rwxr-xr--> ok
[02:00] <arrozconevan> is there a server op in here?
[02:00] <PriceChild> arrozconevan, freenode or #ubuntu?
[02:00] <eck> CarlFK: most daemeons are started and stopped with the /etc/init.d scripts
[02:00] <CarlFK> eck: yeah - seemed odd.  I was wondring if there wasn't some inet magic
[02:00] <arrozconevan> the server
[02:00] <daviey> xtknight, sorry you miss understand me.  I need to grab a file name to use inside my script.  I don't know the name of the file; just the location
[02:00] <arrozconevan> or the network
[02:00] <xtknight> CarlFK, tftp is rather tricky.  look online for some guides
[02:00] <PriceChild> arrozconevan, /stats p
[02:00] <wo1ferine> after i installed ubuntu, seems I am logged in as root
[02:00] <Theory5> what is a wildcard? cause on dyndns it says enable wildcard
[02:00] <goodbrain> lufis: well thanks for your time, ima reboot now
[02:00] <arrozconevan> heh i need to talk to whoever has access to the nickserv
[02:00] <Stormx2> wo1ferine: You won't be, from a clean install
[02:00] <lufis> goodbrain: np, good luck
[02:00] <PriceChild> Theory5, like * meaning anything :)
[02:00] <bruenig> arrow__, looks like Bhaal is
[02:00] <Stormx2> arrozconevan: Why?
[02:00] <xtknight> CarlFK, setting up a tftp server?
[02:00] <bruenig> arrozconevan, looks like Bhaal is
[02:00] <wo1ferine> is this ok, or do I need to create user/log?
[02:01] <Vik_> jomino: I loaded Ubuntu i386..., it gets to the splash screen, gets through it, THEN i get a cursor in the top left of the screen for about 1-2 seconds and then nothing...., it just hangs
[02:01] <PriceChild> arrozconevan, type "/stats p" to see a list of online staffers
[02:01] <Theory5> but what does it mean on dyndns?
[02:01] <eck> CarlFK: i think inet is something that most distros are trying to (slowly) kill
[02:01] <xtknight> daviey, sorry i still dont quite understand
[02:01] <CarlFK> xtknight: tuning this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet
[02:01] <PriceChild> wolferine, Im' guessing you booted into single user mode
[02:01] <Vik_> jomino: right now i am at the boot menu
[02:01] <wo1ferine> maybe
[02:01] <arrozconevan> there is no way that someone has already taken the nick arrozconevan unles they just registered it right now
[02:01] <xtknight> daviey, oh you want the first file found in ls?
[02:01] <wo1ferine> i have a /username in home
[02:01] <daviey> xtknight, yes
[02:01] <lachlan121> stormx2 xtknight indygunfreak: i have updated m thread to reflect all new information. If you have any further help, can you please post there. If not, thanks for all your patience so far. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2278742#post2278742
[02:01] <IndyGunFreak> Vik_: i'd recommend turning the heat up in your house if it freezes that often
[02:01] <bruenig> arrozconevan, I just took it, to get at you
[02:01] <xtknight> daviey, hrm can you provide some context on what you're doing though?
[02:01] <wo1ferine> but I am getting root at a shell
[02:01] <PriceChild> wolferine, reboot and make sure you choose the standard kernel
[02:01] <Theory5> it says enable wildcard? what does it mean on dyndys when talking about domain names?
[02:01] <Vik_> BTW i apoligize for the language
[02:01] <jomino> Vik_, the screen is black or what?
[02:01] <arrozconevan> can you drop it?
[02:01] <daviey> xtknight, pm?
[02:01] <xtknight> daviey, uh i guess, any reason to not talk here?
[02:02] <wo1ferine> ugh, I have to restart
[02:02] <jannu1> can i cut multiple parts with avidemux?
[02:02] <Vik_> jomino: after the splash screen..., yes
[02:02] <CarlFK> na, tftp is wat pxe is based on, so you would have to replace all the boot roms in all the existing nics
[02:02] <daviey> xtknight, too loud
[02:02] <jomino> Vik_, tried ctrl + alt+ F1
[02:02] <jannu1> or is it just start and end
[02:02] <PriceChild> arrozconevan, join #help
[02:02] <bruenig> arrozconevan, no they trim the list though after a few months of inactivity and I certainly don't intend to use it
[02:02] <xtknight> daviey, heh well ok
[02:02] <Vik_> jomino:when
 -ao pcm:file=nameoutput.wav inputasfile.asf is how you do this
[02:02] <Vik_> jomino:whan the screen goes blank?
[02:02] <arrozconevan> thanks bruenig :(
[02:02] <Stormx2> Vik_: Ctrl + Alt + F1. Find the X log (check in #xorg for the location). Paste its contents to a pastebin (there is a util in the repo). Give us the URL
[02:02] <matthew1429> mplayer :)
[02:02] <xtknight> CarlFK, well just follow the instructions on the page?
[02:02] <bruenig> jannu1, rephrase what you want
[02:02] <Theory5> what is a mail exchanger?
[02:02] <jomino> Vik_, what graphic chip do you have?
[02:02] <jomino> Vik_, yes
[02:02] <Hooloovoo> Anyone know why i have to be like reeeealy close the the wireless router for my internet connection to work properly?
[02:02] <ant> Vik_ : that sounds like a video driver problem, what card do you have?
[02:02] <eck> Theory5: it's a dns record that points to a mail server
[02:02] <xtknight> Hooloovoo, poor signal strength
[02:03] <Theory5> which means?
[02:03] <eck> Theory5: uh, you need to read about dns
[02:03] <jomino> Vik_,  I think you just got the wrong graphics driver installed
[02:03] <Hooloovoo> xtknight, pending at 60-90%
[02:03] <eck> but basically it just has the domain name that mail should be sent to
[02:03] <Gorgapor> Hooloovoo, (love the name) yeah that kind of defeats the purpose of it being wireless : (
[02:03] <Theory5> ah okay
[02:03] <CarlFK> xtknight: I wrote that page :)
[02:03] <xtknight> CarlFK, lol
[02:03] <xtknight> CarlFK, oh boy now i'm really confused
[02:03] <CarlFK> "and enable it" needs a little explanation
[02:03] <Vik_> ok all, loading...., ubuntu spash..., hang c+a+f1 didn't work
[02:03] <ant> Vik_ : what video card do you have?
[02:04] <blanky> !ati
[02:04] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:04] <eck> Theory5: e.g. you might have a MX record for example.com that tells mail programs that they should actually send email to mail.example.com
[02:04] <Stormx2> Vik_: Sure?
[02:04] <xtknight> Hooloovoo, that's odd. hmm maybe it's having trouble finding an access point?  try setting access point statically via MAC address?
[02:04] <Hooloovoo> Gorgapor, you. I _could_ bring the router, but i'd have to wire that one and carry it around :P
[02:04] <CarlFK> xtknight: I am not sure what "the right way" of doing it is
[02:04] <reap`> would an IA64 installation work for an AMD X2 cpu?
[02:04] <Vik_> jomino: actually all i know is that i have a nvidia 7600
[02:04] <Stormx2> Vik_: Was this happening from a clean install, or did you change something?
[02:04] <Vik_> jomino: its on a laptop
[02:04] <eck> if there is no MX record it is assumed that mail just goes to the domain in question
[02:04] <ant> !nvidia | Vik_ :
[02:04] <ubotu> Vik_ :: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:04] <xtknight> reap, no.  IA64 is an Intel itanium architecture.  x64 (x86_64/amd64) works for AMD X2
[02:04] <Vik_> stormx2: clean
[02:04] <reap`> kk
[02:04] <Hooloovoo> xtknight, Well... i'm not close now but it's working... the problem is that it's sloow
[02:04] <reap`> thank you
[02:05] <Stormx2> Vik_: If you press Ctrl + Alt + Backspace does the cursor appear/disappear again?
[02:05] <jomino> Vik_, i know that problem i have to use another video driver too but i got an ati card maybe you ask someone who got a nvidia card for i don't know that much...
[02:05] <Vik_> stormx2: nope

[02:06] <ubotu> Vik_: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:06] <jomino> Vik_, did ou install ubuntu or did you boot it from a live ccd?
[02:06] <Vik_> jomino: install
[02:06] <Stormx2> It worked on the live cd? Or did you use the alternative cd?
[02:07] <aum> hi - what's the best prog for backing up a system to multiple DVD+/-RW disks?
[02:07] <Checkka> Is anyone familiar with kiba?
[02:07] <Vik_> jomino: actually at first i installed the x64 DVD version and that was pretty much hit or miss on weather it started up or not
[02:07] <Checkka> kiba dock?
[02:07] <bruenig> aum, you can just tar up everything on your drive, and then burn the tar
[02:07] <bruenig> !backup | aum

[02:07] <Gorgapor> question: is there a way to have each of your virtual desktops use a different background?
[02:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kiba-dock - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:07] <eck> Gorgapor: it depends on what WM you are using
[02:08] <GionnyBoss> does anybody know where I can find tcl8.5 tcl8.5-dev tk8.5 tk8.5-dev please?
[02:08] <eck> or whatever handles the background image
[02:08] <eck> Gorgapor: it is not possible with gnome
[02:08] <Stormx2> GionnyBoss: Why do you need them?
[02:08] <Gorgapor> eck, metacity
[02:08] <liex26> "sudo: password: command not found" how do I change the root password on new install?
[02:08] <eck> Gorgapor: well, nautilus actually draws the background, not metacity
[02:08] <bruenig> GionnyBoss, going to need to compile it
[02:08] <eck> nautilus also draws the icons
[02:08] <ardchoille> liex26: You don't
[02:08] <GionnyBoss> Stormx2, to compile aMSN last version and make it work good
[02:08] <Stormx2> !amsn
[02:08] <ardchoille> !sudo | liex26
[02:09] <eck> nautilus does not have support for that though
[02:09] <ubotu> amsn: An MSN messenger written in tcl. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.95-2.1 (edgy), package size 2261 kB, installed size 7752 kB

[02:09] <GionnyBoss> bruenig, I had them on a usbdisk but I unfortunately deleted it
[02:09] <gaminggeek> amsn sucks
[02:09] <Stormx2> GionnyBoss: Well, check the repos for newer versions (above 8.5)
[02:09] <bruenig> GionnyBoss, I helped someone compile the latest version of amsn in here the other day, and they didn't need anything past "sudo apt-get build-dep amsn" as far as dependencies are concerned
[02:09] <GionnyBoss> bruenig, on my computer I installed them and then compiled MSN and all was ok... now I want to do the same thing on another computer
[02:09] <Stormx2> Night alL!
[02:09] <wo1ferine> hehe
[02:09] <Stormx2> *all
[02:10] <wo1ferine> nit
[02:10] <ardchoille> g'note Stormx2
[02:10] <wo1ferine> nite*
[02:10] <vexati0n> no way. amsn rocks. i love using ugly software that only halfway connects to a broken network just so i can say 'me too' when windows users talk crap. :/
[02:10] <GionnyBoss> bruenig, are you sure it was the latest version?
[02:10] <marshall> how do you fix the blank screen problem with frostwire when installed with automatix?
[02:10] <bruenig> GionnyBoss, yes I am, unless they released something else in the past 5 days
[02:10] <bruenig> !automatix | marshall
[02:10] <ubotu> marshall: 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
[02:10] <jomino> Vik_, got help?
[02:10] <GionnyBoss> bruenig, it's ok. How did you do it?
[02:10] <Vik_> \jomino: nope
[02:11] <ant> !nvidia | Vik_
[02:11] <ubotu> Vik_: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:11] <bruenig> GionnyBoss, you just sudo apt-get  build-dep amsn, and then ./configure make make install like normal
[02:11] <jomino> someone here got a nvidia video card and could help Vik_ please?
[02:11] <ant> can no one see me typing???
[02:11] <ant> !nvidia | Vik_
[02:11] <ubotu> Vik_: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:11] <bruenig> ant, grammar please
[02:12] <GionnyBoss> bruenig, thanks! what does sudo apt-get build-dep amsn does exactly? because the amsn package that I have in the repo is not the latest version
[02:12] <Vik_> ant: okay so i went to Ubuntu help and it says: NVIDIA (nvidia) Driver
[02:12] <Vik_> You know you own a "GeForce" or a "Quadro" graphics card.
[02:12] <Vik_> 
[02:12] <Vik_> You know your card model begins with "4", "FX", or "6".
[02:12] <Vik_> 
[02:12] <Vik_> lspci reveals a card with "NVIDIA" in it
[02:12] <jomino> Vik_, i'd recommend you beging reading that wiki
[02:12] <bruenig> GionnyBoss, it builds the dependencies
[02:12] <ardchoille> Vik_: I have nvidia cards on 11 differnet machines and that wiki page has always worked for me.
[02:12] <ant> bruenig : did i use profanity?
[02:12] <bruenig> GionnyBoss, it installs everything that is needed for the amsn in the repos as well as the -dev packages needed to compile, and that is all that was needed to compile the new amsn
[02:12] <GionnyBoss> bruenig, ah ok! and so you do this, then you download amsn source and do the usual ./configure ./make ?
[02:13] <Vik_> jomino: wiki?
[02:13] <bruenig> GionnyBoss, right
[02:13] <hendaus> hello
[02:13] <bronze> hi akk, Anyone know the apt package for installing the GNU toolchain?
[02:13] <Vik_> this is the link i went to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:13] <rwxr-xr--> xtknight, : now error going change again " checking correct functioning of Qt installation... failure
[02:13] <rwxr-xr--> configure: error: Failed to find matching components of a complete Qt installation."

[02:13] <GionnyBoss> bruenig, ok I understand, thanks! so there's no need to use tcl8.5. The point was that I guess that with the TCL in the repos, you don't have anti-aliasing fonts. Am I right?
[02:13] <bronze> eck, ThankYou!
[02:13] <Vik_> it says "lspci" reveals an nvidia card
[02:14] <ardchoille> Vik_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[02:14] <xtknight> rwxr-xr--, i'm not sure
[02:14] <jomino> ok Vik_
[02:14] <xtknight> rwxr-xr--, you might need "kubuntu-desktop" to fully get a Qt environment
[02:14] <hendaus> on windows i use nero which says video cd, can anyone tell me how to burn video cd (vcd) or dvd from  kubuntu?
[02:14] <GionnyBoss> bruenig, for this I wanted TCL 8.5 . To have anti-aliasing fonts with TCL. And it worked for my laptop. But now I unfortunately lost the packages
[02:15] <bruenig> GionnyBoss, There was no need for tcl 8.5, amsn worked and well apparently, the guy didn't say anything about it looking bad or anything like that. If amsn needed 8.5, it wouldn't have configured
[02:15] <eck> hendaus: try using this guide: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Create_a_VCD_or_SVCD
[02:15] <bruenig> hendaus, devede

[02:18] <Vik_>  ardchoille: ok i went there, but i cant even get into the actual ubuntu OS im stuck at the boot menu screen
[02:18] <bruenig> hendaus, make sure the multiverse repository is enabled and do sudo apt-get install devede
[02:19] <ant> Vik_ : have you installed ubuntu on the hard drive yet?
[02:19] <Vik_> All, i'm at the boot menu screen, kernel 2.6.17-10 gen, kernel 2.6.17-10 gen (recovery) memtest, and winxp

[02:19] <hagabaka> to update the hardware information after they've changed, do i just need to reinstall udev?
[02:20] <Seveas> hagabaka, no it should all go automatically
[02:20] <hagabaka> oh
[02:20] <Vik_> ant: yes i have. its a laptop with two physical drives 80gb a piece, winxp on one AND maybe (hopefully ubuntu on the other

[02:30] <DesertEagle> :) ty
[02:30] <ant> Vik_ : i'll be honest, i was counting on it downloading and isntalling them, you may need to add some repositories.
[02:30] <bruenig> !thanks | DesertEagle
[02:30] <ubotu> DesertEagle: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[02:30] <jomino> you must type sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.lst to change you sources.lst
[02:30] <compilerwriter> Can someone please help me?
[02:30] <ant> jomino : hes gone
[02:30] <bruenig> Vik_ is gone yeah
[02:30] <bruenig> !someone | compilerwriter
[02:30] <ubotu> compilerwriter: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[02:31] <jomino> ant, i think the list i ready but he just has de uncomment the universe and multiverse entries
[02:31] <ammiel> how can you make ubuntu regenerate your fstab? mine looks not right to me
[02:31] <ant> jomino : exactly
[02:31] <DesertEagle> my xmms keeps crashing when trying to play wma files, the xmms-wma plugin doesnt seem to work but apparently all the forum posters have gotten it to work, anyone know what i can do?
[02:31] <ant> jomino : but i think it was too much for him...
[02:31] <bruenig> ammiel, I don't think you can
[02:31] <hendaus> bruenig,  it shows a failed message
[02:31] <ant> ok vik

[02:31] <compilerwriter> I am having to rescue my system with the live cd how do I mount my hard drive part / so that I can edit a file?
[02:32] <compilerwriter> bruenig can you help me
[02:32] <Vik> jomino: ant: hey sorry windows server sucks
[02:32] <ant> Vik : type sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:32] <DesertEagle> nexous_: don't like TTY?
[02:32] <jomino> Vik, that shouldn't take long
[02:32] <bulmer> compilerwriter: mount /dev/hda1  /mnt  assuming its the first drive
[02:32] <nexous_> DesertEagle: TTY??
[02:32] <wo1ferine> how do I get my .pls to open in xmms by default?
[02:32] <bruenig> compilerwriter, what is the name of your hard drive /dev/what? and what is it formatted as? ext3?
[02:32] <jomino> ant, you do that ok?
[02:32] <ant> Vik : then uncomment the lines "multiverse, universe"
[02:32] <Vik> ant: jomino: K HOLD
[02:32] <hendaus> bruenig,  how can pastebin the /etc/apt/sources.list ??
[02:32] <ant> Vik : do you understand what i mean?
[02:33] <bruenig> ant, there is no multiverse line by default
[02:33] <Vik> ant: jomino: k hold
[02:33] <bruenig> ant, you have to add it
[02:33] <radioaktivstorm> I have a quuestion: where are installed applications stored (gxine in particular)? i am trying to make a symbolic link so i can have firefox plugins work properly
[02:33] <DesertEagle> nexous_: hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get a full screen terminal
[02:33] <DesertEagle> F7 to get back to GUI
[02:33] <ant> bruenig : i thought it was just commented out..
[02:33] <compilerwriter> bruenig I am not certain of the name of it.  It was formatted into whatever ubuntu would have made it.
[02:33] <nexous_> DesertEagle: I don't want to manually have to do it everytime.
[02:33] <Flannel> radioaktivstorm: best way is 'which [command] '
[02:33] <bruenig> ant, no, universe is commented out, but you have to physically type multiverse
[02:33] <nexous_> DesertEagle: when i click the terminal icon, I want it to openup in fullscreen
[02:33] <gesus> hello where do programs usually get installed to in ubuntu??
[02:33] <bruenig> gesus, /usr
[02:33] <sorush20> hi could someone help me build a package .. ist the aiptek gaiptek package from source
[02:33] <dark-nite> hey, please can someone help me setup internet on ubuntu edgy
[02:34] <ant> Vik : sorry for the bad advice.. just comment out universe
[02:34] <gesus> ty
[02:34] <nexous_> dark-nite: wireless or ethernet?
[02:34] <bruenig> compilerwriter, ok, do this: sudo fdisk -l and see what it is called
[02:34] <dark-nite> wireless
[02:34] <radioaktivstorm> Flannel, thanks, ill try that :)
[02:34] <Vik> ant: jomino:  nope...
[02:34] <nexous_> dark-nite: what card?
[02:34] <dark-nite> belkin
[02:34] <ant> Vik : i mean "uncomment"
[02:34] <jomino> Vik, what nope?
[02:34] <withaY> anyone know how to do a send a wake-on-lan packet to ALL computers on a subnet even if you don't know all of the MAC addresses?
[02:34] <nexous_> dark-nite: more info, model, etc...
[02:34] <hendaus> bruenig,  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9748/
[02:34] <dark-nite> chipset: ralink rt2500
[02:34] <T3hMikey> I dunno what I managed to do, but I think I lost administrative privileges or something on the only account on this computer. It won't let me do stuff like delete files or download stuff
[02:35] <radioaktivstorm> Flannel: its magic :D awesome. ill remember that one!
[02:35] <dark-nite> its a pci card
[02:35] <dark-nite> urmmmm
[02:35] <xtknight> T3hMikey, it could be that someone else owns the file youre trying to delete
[02:35] <Joboo> If you are the only registered user on a stand alone linux computer - are you automatically the admin?
[02:35] <ant> Vik : ok, after you open the file in nano look for a line that has a # at the beginning and says universe in it, remove the # then save the file...
[02:35] <bruenig> hendaus, pastebin this : cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:35] <DesertEagle> nexous_: did you try Ctrl+Alt+F1?
[02:35] <dark-nite> model is    F5D7000uk
[02:35] <wo1ferine> how do I get my .pls to open in xmms by default?
[02:35] <T3hMikey> xtknight: this is the only account on this computer, and I've tried a couple files
[02:35] <DesertEagle> and then Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get back to GUI
[02:35] <xtknight> T3hMikey, so if you try to download a file to your desktop it wont work?
[02:36] <T3hMikey> xtknight: when I tell it to save to disk in FireFox, it just evaporates. It doesn't refuse it, but it never ends up on the Desktop,  which is where all files are supposed to go
[02:36] <ant> Vik : you got er done?
[02:36] <xtknight> T3hMikey, firefox immediately disappears (crashes)?
[02:36] <hendaus> bruenig,  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9749/
[02:36] <xtknight> T3hMikey, or the file never appears?
[02:37] <T3hMikey> xtknight: no, just the file never appears
[02:37] <JennyGirl> PEBKAC PEBKAC
[02:37] <compilerwriter> I have /dev/hda1,  /dev/hda2, and /dev/hda5
[02:37] <Vik> ant: okay..., so any line that has a "#" at the beginning and "universe" anywhere in it needs to be erased?
[02:37] <xtknight> T3hMikey, do you have permissions to /home/username?
[02:37] <gesus> so if i've got an zipped program where would be a good directory to unpack it to? /usr/bin ?
[02:37] <DesertEagle> why does xmms keep crashing when i try to play a wma?
[02:37] <dark-nite> its a pci     chipset: ralink rt2500   model: is F5D7000uk
[02:38] <nexous> Thanks for that....
[02:38] <T3hMikey> xtknight: like, can I access the folder for my username in the home folder?
[02:38] <Vik> ant: because there are like a few lines like that. Also other with 2"#" at the beginning
[02:38] <T3hMikey> xtknight: because I can do that
[02:38] <Joboo> Sorry I crashed - missed answer to admin question
[02:38] <xtknight> T3hMikey, pastebin the results of "cd ~/; ls -al"
[02:38] <compilerwriter> bruenig did you get that?
[02:38] <ant> Vik : just remove the ones with a single #
[02:38] <bruenig> hendaus, ok do, kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list and make it look like this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9750/ I deleted most of the automatix repos and one of the repos below it
[02:38] <bruenig> !prefix | compilerwriter
[02:38] <ubotu> compilerwriter: If you prefix your lines with the nickname of the person you're talking to, you have a greater chance that that person reads your messages
[02:38] <bruenig> compengi, which is the one you want
[02:38] <rogue780> is there a way to make dd only copy actual data, and not empty data?
[02:38] <ant> Vik : there should be two after a handful of ##
[02:38] <bruenig> compilerwriter, which is the one you want
[02:38] <xtknight> rogue780, by empty data do you mean NULs?
[02:39] <Joboo> If you are the only user on an linux machine (you installed linux yourself) - are you automatically the admin?
[02:39] <jomino> no
[02:39] <compilerwriter> bruenig I need hda1 that is my linux part
[02:39] <bruenig> hendaus, after you do that, do sudo apt-get update
[02:39] <dark-nite> nexous, its a pci     chipset: ralink rt2500   model: is F5D7000uk
[02:39] <Joboo> Jomino: how do you set yourself as admin
[02:39] <T3hMikey> xtknight: It's pretty long, I dunno if it'd even fit in here
[02:39] <compilerwriter> bruenig hda2 is extended and hda5 is my swap part.
[02:39] <bruenig> compilerwriter, ok, do this then, mkdir hda1 && sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 hda1/
[02:39] <xtknight> !pastebin | T3hMikey

[02:40] <ant> Vik : did you remove the first two lines with a single # in front?
[02:40] <jomino> Joboo, ok you're the admin partial you can temporarily get admin rights...
[02:40] <rogue780> xtknight, right...say /dev/hda1 is a 6gb partition, but only 2.0gb is actually used. now say I use dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/mounted/hda1.img but I only want it to copy the 2.0gb worth that is actually being used...
[02:40] <epignosis> this may be an off topic question, so i apoogize before hand, but can someone tell me an IRC node for PHP help. Having trouble running php on ubuntu
[02:40] <jomino> Joboo, sudo su
[02:40] <Joboo> Jomino, is there a way to be permanently the admin?
[02:40] <wo1ferine> how do I get my .pls to open in xmms by default?
[02:40] <T3hMikey> xtknight: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9751/
[02:40] <xtknight> rogue780, well i dont know about that.  can't really.  what you can do is compress the outputted file.  all the NULs will practically evaporate under any type of compression.  you can compress 500 terabytes of NULs into a 1 kb tar.gz2 file for example
[02:40] <bruenig> wolferine, right click on a .pls file, go to properties, and change the open with. It will then apply to all .pls files in the future as well as that one
[02:41] <ant> Vik : did you uncomment the lines?
[02:41] <jomino> Joboo, depends on the distribution in ubuntu there is no root account
[02:41] <dark-nite> can someone please help me setup my wireless card to connect to the internet. its a   pci     chipset: ralink rt2500   model: is F5D7000uk
[02:41] <ant> Vik : all you have to do is remove the #
[02:41] <michel> hello!!!
[02:41] <xtknight> T3hMikey, root owns your Desktop
[02:41] <Joboo> Jomino, hmmm - I am running ubuntu 6.10..  And I keep getting permission errors.
[02:41] <Vik> ant: okay. there are two after a line that says: universe WILL NOT blah blah blah, and two at the very end after: deb-src...
[02:41] <xtknight> T3hMikey, type this: "sudo chown -R mikey:mikey /home/mikey/Desktop"
[02:41] <T3hMikey> xtknight: but I thought Ubuntu didn't use root or something. I know I never set one up
[02:41] <jomino> Joboo, you can become root temporarily BUT only in the terminal.
[02:42] <bruenig> !sudo | T3hMikey
[02:42] <ubotu> T3hMikey: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[02:42] <Pepper> Can someone tell me where the default access log for apache2 on Ubuntu resides?
[02:42] <rogue780> xtknight, that's what I'm doing, but bzip2 takes forever to make the file small enough to fit on a DVD...I was just hoping for a better way I suppose, but it looks like you confirmed what I was thinking
[02:42] <ant> Vik : just take away the # at the beginning, and save the file
[02:42] <jomino> Joboo, so what do you want to do?
[02:42] <xtknight> T3hMikey, root really still exists in one way
[02:42] <compilerwriter> OK bruenig I have done that.
[02:42] <Vik> ant: k, gotcha
[02:42] <dark-nite> Please could someone help me setup my wireless card to connect to the internet. its a   pci     chipset: ralink rt2500   model: is F5D7000uk
[02:42] <dark-nite> Please could someone help me setup my wireless card to connect to the internet. its a   pci     chipset: ralink rt2500   model: is F5D7000uk
[02:42] <rogue780> T3hMikey, you can always sudo passwd root to set a root password and enable the root account
[02:42] <hendaus> bruenig,  ok i am making now sudo apt-get update
[02:42] <Joboo> jomino, i just want to have permission on the machine to install files etc.
[02:42] <bruenig> compilerwriter, ok so it should be mounted, check it out in nautilus
[02:42] <xtknight> rogue780, even the smallest /fastest compression will evaporate all the NULs.  try zip maybe it's faster than bzip2
[02:42] <DesertEagle> does anyone know why does xmms keep crashing when i try to play a wma?
[02:42] <rogue780> xtknight, thanks, I will
[02:42] <jomino> Joboo, just type sudo before the command you want to execute
[02:42] <xtknight> rogue780, or use "rar" with fastest compression
[02:42] <T3hMikey> rogue780: I asked about that last night, and a couple people told me that probably wouldn't be a good idea, and it'd make it really easy for me to mess stuff up
[02:43] <AaronMT> Where can I download the Ubuntu Human/Tango icons?
[02:43] <Vik> ant: jomino:  By the way, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR HELPING
[02:43] <xtknight> T3hMikey, why enable root?  just fix your Desktop folder's permissions
[02:43] <Vik> ok how do i save?
[02:43] <jomino> Vik, did you make it?
[02:43] <DigitalDaiquiri> 'ello all.  I am having quite a bit of trouble setting up some p2p file sharing with samba on Ubuntu Edgy (through System>Administration>Shared Folders) with Windows XP.  I have established a connection between the two computers, but when I try to connect from the windows end I am prompted for a user name and password.  I tried my default information and it didn't work.  After some research ( http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p
[02:43] <Vik> ant: there is no "save"
[02:43] <bruenig> Vik, ctrl + x, then hit y
[02:43] <Vik> sweet
[02:43] <jomino> Vik, you're using nano?
[02:43] <T3hMikey> xtknight: yeah, that's what I'
[02:43] <T3hMikey> *that's what I'm doing
[02:43] <Vik> saved
[02:43] <Pepper> Can someone tell me where the default access log for apache2 on Ubuntu resides?
[02:43] <xtknight> T3hMikey, ahh gotcha.  ok let me know if the last cmd fixes the issue
[02:43] <bruenig> !repeat | Pepper
[02:44] <ubotu> Pepper: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[02:44] <T3hMikey> xtknight: Awesome, it worked, thanks
[02:44] <ant> Vik : now type "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx"
[02:44] <ibara> Pepper: /var/log/apache2
[02:44] <compilerwriter> Ok I have it.  Now I just edit the file and reboot and life should be good.
[02:44] <ibara> I think
[02:44] <hendaus> bruenig,  i got this --> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9753/
[02:44] <Pepper> Thanks ibara!
[02:44] <ant> Vik : and dont respond to me unless it works... :P
[02:44] <rogue780> T3hMikey, all enabling the root account does is like taking the training wheels off. it's really not needed, but I have found the need once or twice with my mail server
[02:45] <dark-nite> can someone please help me setup my wireless card to connect to the internet. its a   pci     chipset: ralink rt2500   model: is F5D7000uk

[02:45] <jomino> Vik, and don't aks us for your password :)
[02:45] <ant> Vik : did it get all the packages and install them?
[02:45] <bruenig> hendaus, do the same thing kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list, and make it look like this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9755/ basically remove everything under the #AUTOMATIX REPOS START
[02:45] <bruenig> hendaus, then sudo apt-get update
[02:45] <T3hMikey> rogue780: well, I dunno what I'm doing in Linux, so I'd say training wheels are a good thing for now :P
[02:45] <ant> jomino : lol
[02:46] <dark-nite> !wireless network
[02:46] <Vik> jomino: haha
[02:46] <Vik> ant: okay..., so its saved..., now what?
[02:46] <ant> lmao
[02:46] <ant> i need a beer
[02:46] <bruenig> hendaus, do what I said in the last one, but also make sure you remove the first cdrom line at the very top
[02:46] <jomino> Vik, got the driver installed?
[02:46] <JennyGirl> How long have you guys been using linux?
[02:46] <jomino> ant, me too^^
[02:46] <rogue780> T3hMikey, indeed. if ubuntu is where you're starting be glad that you weren't like me and started out with the slackware route...confusing as hell. it turned me off linux for many years until I wanted to set up a mythtv system. then I went to fedora, then found ubuntu was the perfect choice for almost everything
[02:46] <DigitalDaiquiri> Thanks for the advice ubotu, this is my first time in such an IRC room.  On that note, does anyone know anything in relation to my Samba question
[02:46] <robbie_crash> !iso
[02:46] <ubotu> To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[02:47] <rogue780> if it weren't for games, I'd switch 100% to linux
[02:47] <bruenig> !thanks | DigitalDaiquiri
[02:47] <ubotu> DigitalDaiquiri: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[02:47] <ant> Vik : type "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx"
[02:47] <jomino> Vik, the driver was installed correctly? no error messages?
[02:47] <indgo> hello
[02:47] <DesertEagle> hi
[02:48] <T3hMikey> rogue780: Yeah, I originally started with Debian, but I had a lot of troubles with stuff like getting the desktop GUI thingy working, so I gave up on it for a while, and I heard Ubuntu works pretty well, so I'm using it now
[02:48] <Vik> ant: k, it says "save under different file name?"
[02:48] <johnson7340> Would having both Windows XP and ubuntu on the same hard drive cause that sh/bin tty; job control turned off error? Was working great for about 4 days.Was going to do a fresh install and not having it dual boot. Think this will solve the problem?
[02:48] <ant> omg
[02:48] <bruenig> fresh install solves everything always
[02:48] <dark-nite> can someone please help me setup my wireless card to connect to the internet. its a   pci     chipset: ralink rt2500   model: is F5D7000uk
[02:48] <DesertEagle> hehe... i remember one time apt-get uninstalled gcc and some other important stuff when i was using debian :P
[02:48] <ant> Vik : just press enter
[02:49] <DigitalDaiquiri> Oh?  How can I tell your a bot then ubotu?  I'm using Gaim if that helps... not like it is of any importance, I'm just interested.
[02:49] <DigitalDaiquiri> Oh! Your yellow
[02:49] <DigitalDaiquiri> ^_^ nm
[02:49] <hendaus> bruenig,  ok now i got this --> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9758/
[02:49] <DesertEagle> he's yellow?
[02:49] <bruenig> yeah I accidentally sudo chmod -x /bin/chmod
[02:49] <Vik> ant: doesn't work..., yes, no, cancel
[02:49] <indgo> nice...hehe
[02:49] <T3hMikey> now I've got another problem though. Last night, I had sound, but the controls didn't work for it up by the clock, so it was pretty loud and I'm using headphones. Now, though, I just lack any and all sound. I didn't touch anything sound-related without testing it, though, so what'd I manage to do? >_>
[02:49] <jomino> ant, what happened?
[02:49] <ant> Vik : yes, press y
[02:49] <bruenig> hendaus, like I said remove the first cd line
[02:49] <ant> jomino : hes still trying to save the file i think
[02:50] <bruenig> hendaus, here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9756/
[02:50] <rogue780> T3hMikey, in a console type alsamixer
[02:50] <xtknight> johnson7340, it shouldn't cause that
[02:50] <robbie_crash> will mds/mdf cd image files not mount in ubuntu?
[02:50] <Vik> ant: kool, "wrote 40 lines", back at prompt
[02:50] <robbie_crash> !mds
[02:50] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mds - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:50] <JennyGirl> Who uses bitchx
[02:50] <xtknight> robbie_crash, don't know, they're alcohol 120% images
[02:50] <DigitalDaiquiri> DesertEagle, I was referring to his bot status.  You wouldn't happen to know why I am being prompted a password on my XP box to access my shared folder on my Ubuntu computer
[02:50] <DigitalDaiquiri> ?
[02:50] <ant> Vik : ok now type "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx"
[02:50] <jomino> maybe we should do this in a private conversation^^
[02:50] <epignosis> I am getting the following error when trying to run test.php in/var/www folder"Warning:  Unknown: failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0

[02:51] <robbie_crash> xtknight: :/ thanks
[02:51] <ant> jomino : i'm thinking he should just get a book and atleast get his foot in the door
[02:51] <DesertEagle> DigitalDaiquiri: the folders are restricted?
[02:51] <tonyyarusso> jomino, ant: For a less traffic-heavy place that's still beneficial to other observers, you're also welcome to use #ubuntu-classroom
[02:51] <JennyGirl> can you see this?
[02:51] <indgo> yup
[02:51] <hendaus> bruenig,  i remove it
[02:51] <JennyGirl> ok
[02:51] <DesertEagle> did you try typing your root pwd?
[02:51] <ant> Vik : did it install all the packages this time?
[02:51] <nexousNET> I have php 5.2.1 tarball, How do I compile it?
[02:51] <dark-nite> please can someone help me?
[02:51] <jomino> ant Vik let's join #ubuntu-classroom....
[02:51] <kazuka> hey
[02:51] <Vik> ant: it says: unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
[02:51] <DigitalDaiquiri> DesertEagle, no they are not.  Both folders allow read and write from both machines
[02:51] <bruenig> hendaus, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install devede
[02:51] <kazuka> hi nexousNET
[02:52] <xtknight> tonyyarusso, what is the difference between this and -classroom?
[02:52] <kazuka> hi dark-nite
[02:52] <jomino> ant Vik let's join #ubuntu-classroom....
[02:52] <Pelo> nexousNET,  http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/
[02:52] <DigitalDaiquiri> Thanks for helping me though DesertEagle ;)
[02:52] <dark-nite> hi
[02:52] <robbie_crash> DigitalDaiquiri: you need to authenticate to the samba server, if you haven't added a name to your samba list you can't access it from your xp box
[02:52] <dark-nite> can someone please help me setup my wireless card to connect to the internet. its a   pci     chipset: ralink rt2500   model: is F5D7000uk
[02:52] <DesertEagle> DigitalDaiquiri: did you try typing your root password?
[02:52] <rogue780> is there anyway that I can pipe dd directly into bzip2 to make it all one process instead of two?
[02:52] <bruenig> Vik, sudo apt-get update and then run that command, you have to update after editing your sources.list
[02:52] <ant> jomino : we should keep it public
[02:52] <tonyyarusso> xtknight: Most of the time, just size.  From time to time -classroom also has scheduled sessions.
[02:52] <DigitalDaiquiri> Robbie_crash, I have added a name with > sudo smbpasswd -a <YourUserName> > sudo smbpasswd -e <YourUserName> , but to no avail
[02:52] <Vik> bruenig: k hold
[02:52] <T3hMikey> rogue780: Okay, I started messing around with several things in there, but that didn't work at all. It's like it's refusing to use my sound card or something. Even if I max out the master and stuff, nothing happens
[02:52] <xtknight> ah
[02:52] <ant> Vik : did you see what bruenig said?
[02:53] <rogue780> T3hMikey, is pcm up?
[02:53] <DigitalDaiquiri> Aye, I don't have a root account assigned DesertEagle, but I have tried my user name and pass
[02:53] <T3hMikey> rogue780: it's maxed
[02:53] <rogue780> I'm not sure then...sorry
[02:53] <xtknight> T3hMikey, pcm also unmuted?  it can be maxed though muted at the same time in alsa
[02:53] <hendaus> bruenig,  i got this --> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9759/
[02:53] <compilerwriter> Thanks for the help bruenig.  Hopefully that fixed it.
[02:54] <DesertEagle> dark-nite: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=78250
[02:54] <xtknight> T3hMikey, having trouble with sound?  audigy card?
[02:54] <T3hMikey> xtknight: unmuted
[02:54] <DesertEagle> google to the rescue!
[02:54] <KageSenshi> a quick question here .. just want a confirmation ... "git pull" is equivalent of "svn update" rite?
[02:54] <bigdad1e> hey how do i get smooth scrolling in mozilla? clicking smooth scroll doesnt do anything.. sry im new to ubuntu
[02:54] <T3hMikey> xtknight: I think it is, yes
[02:54] <johnson7340> atknight, i tried all of the fixes with no success. should i just reinstall ubuntu or is there something else i can try to fix that error?
[02:54] <bruenig> hendaus, paste your sources.list again
[02:54] <T3hMikey> xtknight: what really confuses me, though, is at least I had sound last night
[02:54] <xtknight> T3hMikey, booted windows since?
[02:54] <johnson7340> i really enjoy using ubuntu over windows im in windows now and driving mecrazy
[02:54] <T3hMikey> xtknight: Yep, is that why it's messing up or something?
[02:55] <Vik> ant: did it..., "some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old files have been used instead"
[02:55] <indgo> I'm quite impressed with Ubuntu 6.1
[02:55] <indgo> Things just work
[02:55] <robbie_crash> DigitalDaiquiri: I dunno either, sorry :(
[02:55] <xtknight> T3hMikey,  i've had windows drivers screw with the mixer settings.  type "gnome-volume-control" and go to the Switches tab.  check the "digital output jack" option
[02:55] <Pelo> DesertEagle,  sucking up is a waste of time
[02:55] <hendaus> bruenig,  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9760/
[02:55] <bigdad1e> is there a way to get steam on linux?
[02:55] <DigitalDaiquiri> robbie_crash ,  I have added a name with > sudo smbpasswd -a <YourUserName> > sudo smbpasswd -e <YourUserName> , but to no avail
[02:55] <johnson7340> yeah
[02:55] <johnson7340> use wine
[02:55] <DesertEagle> Pelo: here, have a hug.... i know you're just jealous :P
[02:55] <ant> Vik : man i don't understand why this is giving us so much trouble...
[02:55] <DigitalDaiquiri> robbie_crash, er, sorry about the dupe
[02:55] <T3hMikey> xtknight: all that's here is Line-in Capture
[02:55] <T3hMikey> xtknight: same thing?
[02:56] <indgo> bbl
[02:56] <bruenig> hendaus, remove that top line like I said, the "dapper main restricted"
[02:56] <xtknight> T3hMikey, the "Switches" tab at the top?
[02:56] <bruenig> hendaus, then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install devede
[02:56] <T3hMikey> xtknight: yep
[02:56] <xtknight> T3hMikey, what device are you on?  goto file->change device..
[02:56] <jomino> Vik, ant i thin sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg is next
[02:56] <ant> Vik : i may get flamed for saying this but i dont think your ready for linux
[02:56] <ant> Vik : you need a good book
[02:56] <DesertEagle> :D
[02:57] <Vik> me either..., so i've always used win because..., well, i'm stupid, but now i want to try this..., i dont think it should be this hard to install
[02:57] <T3hMikey> xtknight: VIA 8237 (Alsa Mixer)
[02:57] <bruenig> xbindkeys is great, or you can get xfce and get that kind of functionality  by default
[02:57] <jomino> ant, then i wouldn't use linux  either
[02:57] <ant> jomino : feel free to take over...
[02:57] <hendaus> bruenig,  E: Couldn't find package devede
[02:57] <xtknight> T3hMikey, sounds like it's an on-board sound adapter then  (no pun intended)
[02:57] <xtknight> T3hMikey, do you alsa have an audigy then?
[02:57] <bruenig> Vik, it is because the driver for your video card is closed source, so blame that
[02:57] <xtknight> T3hMikey, also*
[02:57] <bruenig> !info devede dapper
[02:57] <bigdad1e> my wine failed to load windows/system32 files
[02:57] <ant> jomino : i think he messed up his sources.list
[02:57] <ubotu> Package devede does not exist in dapper
[02:57] <jomino> Vik,  i don't know the right driver
[02:57] <xtknight> T3hMikey, what else is under change device
[02:57] <Vik> DAMN nvidia..., DAMN THEM!!!
[02:57] <DesertEagle> so noone has any clue as to why xmms keeps crashing when i try to play a WMA?
[02:57] <T3hMikey> xtknight: yeah, I think so
[02:57] <jomino> ant, he can create a new one if it's running
[02:58] <ant> jomino : its nvidia-glx
[02:58] <robbie_crash> no worries, that's all you should have to do
[02:58] <DesertEagle> all the forums say the xmms-wma plugin should work, but not for me :(
[02:58] <robbie_crash> as far as I can tell
[02:58] <ant> jomino : hes got an nvidia
[02:58] <jomino> ant, thats's the drivers name in xorg.conf?
[02:58] <wo1ferine> anything available for recording streaming audio (if I was running real player in a browser) ?
[02:58] <jomino> or nv?
[02:58] <T3hMikey> xtknight: CA0106 (Alsa Mixer) and Realtek ALC655 rev 0 (OSS Mixer)
[02:58] <robbie_crash> I have an issue with a bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo. When I first start up my machine, I have to immideately type something (ie my login) then my keyboard and mouse stop responding until I unplug and replug my bluetooth hub, then they work normally. It seems like I've got about 3 or 4 seconds to type before it stops responding, and if I don't, then it refuses to respond and I need to reboot
[02:58] <bruenig> hendaus, ok do this: cd && wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/d/devede/devede_2.9-0ubuntu2_all.deb && sudo dpkg -i devede_2.9-0ubuntu2_all.deb
[02:59] <DesertEagle> guys? :(
[02:59] <bruenig> DesertEagle, don't use that crap
[02:59] <ant> jomino : in xorg.conf there will be a line that he has to change that says "Driver " and he needs to change it to "Driver nvidia"
[02:59] <xtknight> T3hMikey, um try the other devices.  mess with the master/pcm mute/volume, and look at the Switches for each .  you need to find out what device is actually hooked up to your speakers
[02:59] <Vik> AAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[02:59] <thansen|laptop> does anyone here know if ekiga works with vonage?
[02:59] <DesertEagle> i dont! :D
[02:59] <Vik> i tried it again for s&g and it looks like its working
[02:59] <xtknight> T3hMikey, then what you can do is set the device to be the primary sound card
[03:00] <xtknight> T3hMikey, that is, after you find out which device is correct
[03:00] <jomino> Vik, what are you doing there?
[03:00] <enderxim> ant: nvidia-xconfig should change it automatically, it comes with the nvidia drivers, doesn't it?
[03:00] <Vik> its installing something that will take 101mb
[03:00] <ant> enderxim : thank you i was wanting to know that a while back...
[03:00] <Vik> i just did "sudo apt-get-install nvidia-glx"
[03:00] <SiipVoip> hola alguien con experiencia en asterix que hable espaol?
[03:00] <jomino> ant, ok then it could work out just fine^^

[03:01] <hendaus> bruenig,  i got this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9761/
[03:01] <ant> Vik : it installed the packages with no errors?
[03:01] <T3hMikey> xtknight: after I switched to another one, I can now here a faint static sound sorta like it's catching my microphone, and I can hear it no matter which one I switch to
[03:01] <wo1ferine> anything available for recording streaming audio (if I was running real player in a browser) ?
[03:01] <Vik> ant: still going...
[03:01] <T3hMikey> xtknight: but I still can't hear the sounds from GAIM and stuff like that, which I've checked, and it isn't muted or anything
[03:01] <xtknight> T3hMikey, hmm.  well changing the device doesn't actually modify what's outputting.  that just changes the control panel you're looking at
[03:01] <ant> Vik : i guess thats good
[03:01] <bruenig> hendaus, ok good, then this should do it: sudo apt-get install -f
[03:02] <xtknight> T3hMikey, the answer is somewhere in the mixer.  it's like an easter egg hunt :P
[03:02] <Vik> ant: done no error messages
[03:02] <T3hMikey> xtknight: well, anything that looks like it's do anything to my speakers just got maxed out, and there's no change
[03:02] <Vik> ant: woo hoo!
[03:02] <Kryll> Hey guys it's been a while do you have to register anymore
[03:02] <Vik> ant: back at prompt
[03:02] <xtknight> T3hMikey, there can also be hidden options in Edit->preferences to make it even more confusing

[03:03] <ant> Vik : now restart your computer.... with the regular kernel.

[03:03] <wo1ferine> anything available for recording streaming audio (if I was running real player in a browser) ?
[03:03] <bruenig> oscuro, it is not an application like that, go to #ubuntu-effects

[03:04] <oscuro> danke sehr =)
[03:04] <bruenig> wolferine, mozilla-mplayer
[03:04] <jomino> Vik, right
[03:04] <xtknight> T3hMikey, ok.  what device are your speakers connected up to?  let the "top" of your case be where the cd drives are located.  ok, now are you speakers connected to a connector more near the top of the computer or the bottom of the pc?
[03:04] <ant> Vik : type "sudo shutdown -r now"

[03:05] <T3hMikey> xtknight: my speakers are connected to my sound card, which is near the bottom in a PCI slot, and my headphones are hooked to the speakers
[03:05] <dauoalagio> hello i need to config my xserver but when i got "sudo xorgconfig" it says no such command
[03:05] <bruenig> hendaus, open a terminal and put "devede"
[03:05] <whonicca> how do i disable ssh?
[03:05] <Flannel> whonicca: just... don't install it
[03:05] <bruenig> hendaus, err konsole
[03:05] <whonicca> it use to be under services

[03:05] <whonicca> Flannel, i use ssh =|

[03:05] <Vik> im at the username prompt
[03:05] <Vik> !!
[03:05] <whonicca> why would i want to un install it
[03:05] <ant> Vik : that bad baby worked?
[03:05] <whonicca> cant just disable it temporarily?
[03:06] <Vik> AWESOME!!!
[03:06] <hendaus> bruenig,  ok i open konsole
[03:06] <bruenig> hendaus, devede
[03:06] <xtknight> T3hMikey, oh dear.  hrm, well type "lspci" and figure out what type of sound/multimedia card it is
[03:06] <ant> Vik : i live in texas, send me and jomino a 12-pack.
[03:06] <mage__> whonicca: like /etc/init.d/ssh stop? or using some tool to remove links in /etc/rc.??/
[03:06] <ant> :P
[03:06] <hendaus> bruenig,  bash: devede: command not found
[03:06] <Flannel> whonicca: sure, /etc/init.d/sshd stop will stop it
[03:06] <bruenig> hendaus, /usr/bin/devede
[03:07] <Vik> ant: jomino: is there a "private" chat i can get on with both of you?
[03:07] <T3hMikey> xtknight: this -sudo chown -R mikey:mikey /home/mikey/Desktop -?
[03:07] <whonicca> Flannel, will that remove it from init
[03:07] <ant> bruenig : thanks for watching over me...
[03:07] <xtknight> PSA: sometimes you have to restart bash for /usr/bin , etc paths to register
[03:07] <T3hMikey> xtknight: whoops, it didn't copy
[03:07] <hendaus> bruenig,  bash: /usr/bin/devede: No such file or directory
[03:07] <ant> Vik : i'm about to get off.. good luck, your journey has just begun
[03:07] <T3hMikey> xtknight: I mean, this -Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy LS-?
[03:07] <bruenig> hendaus, if you want devede, you are going to need to upgrade to edgy it appears
[03:07] <xtknight> T3hMikey, yes that
[03:07] <Flannel> whonicca: no, that'll stop it
[03:07] <T3hMikey> xtknight: well, that's what I've got
[03:07] <Vik> wait
[03:07] <Flannel> whonicca: turn it off until you reboot, or restart it
[03:08] <Vik> password!!!!!
[03:08] <mage__> whonicca: I mean "rm /etc/rc?.d/???ssh" but ubuntu people frown on doing things that way so uh there is a tool ;)
[03:08] <hendaus> bruenig,  so what can i do?

[03:08] <whonicca> yeah this is weird, it use to be in services under administration
[03:08] <xtknight> T3hMikey, i think it's the CA0106 then..CA stands for creative audigy maybe?  i doubt it's the realtek or the VIA..
[03:08] <Flannel> whonicca: What are you trying to do?  Stop it from starting? or stop it for the moment?
[03:08] <xtknight> T3hMikey, it did work the other day?
[03:08] <bruenig> hendaus, upgrade or find something else, you can do it via command line with other tools, but it would take far too long to explain that
[03:08] <whonicca> stop it from starting at the moment
[03:08] <Vik> got it
[03:08] <T3hMikey> xtknight: I dunno if this is of any importance, but the sounds from ChatZilla are coming from that one little beepy thing inside the computer. I don't remember if it did that last night, though
[03:09] <Vik> sweet
[03:09] <ant> ok later man
[03:09] <Vik> thanks for the help
[03:09] <whonicca> guess it could just be easier uninstalling it temporarily
[03:09] <Flannel> whonicca: so, stop it from starting when you turn on your computer? or stop it right now?
[03:09] <ant> np
[03:09] <T3hMikey> xtknight: Yeah, it worked last night, but the sound controls had absolutely no effect whatsoever, even when muted. It would just be incredibly loud no matter what
[03:09] <whonicca> from when i turn on my computer
[03:09] <xtknight> T3hMikey, well change device control panel to CA0106.  then goto edit preferences and enable everything.  then goto Switches and tell me everything you see under Switches.
[03:09] <dauoalagio> is there a backup xorg.conf created when you first use xorg?
[03:09] <bruenig> dauoalagio, no
[03:10] <dauoalagio> ugh great
[03:10] <xtknight> dauoalagio, `sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg` will redo an xorg config
[03:10] <T3hMikey> xtknight: "IEC958"
[03:10] <hendaus> bruenig,  but i have my friend beside me and i want to make for him vcd and   dvd movies
[03:10] <T3hMikey> xtknight: that's all that's there, just that one check box
[03:10] <bruenig> dauoalagio, should be pretty obvious, when you make changes to back up
[03:10] <xtknight> T3hMikey, and pressing it yields nothing?
[03:10] <bruenig> hendaus, upgrade to edgy
[03:10] <coxande> people ati works with aiglx ???
[03:10] <Flannel> whonicca: stop it completely? or just make it so no one can connect? (you could bind it locally, or just make it listen on no ports)
[03:10] <bruenig> coxande, #ubuntu-effects
[03:10] <dauoalagio> xtknight, what will that do?
[03:10] <hendaus> bruenig,  can u help me plz
[03:11] <T3hMikey> xtknight: the airy sound that resembles what would come from my microphone being turned up too high just went away
[03:11] <bruenig> hendaus, upgrade to edgy
[03:11] <xtknight> T3hMikey, also, everything under edit->preferences is enabled for CA0106?
[03:11] <whonicca> stop it completely from loading up at startup
[03:11] <T3hMikey> xtknight: it came back with a pop noise when I unchecked it
[03:11] <xtknight> dauoalagio, it walks you through a setup procedure that will restore your xorg.conf
[03:11] <Flannel> whonicca: Or you can just unlink it from rc#.d
[03:11] <T3hMikey> xtknight: yep, everything I could possibly check is checked
[03:11] <cerealkiller219> How can I remove packages the have unmet dependencies but I'm unable to remove them because of "held packages"
[03:11] <hendaus> bruenig,  i dont know :<
[03:11] <xtknight> T3hMikey, alright.  well keep that in mind.  the one where you hear any noise at all is probably the proper one
[03:11] <whonicca> Flannel, its ok, i decided to remove it
[03:11] <whonicca> easier
[03:11] <bruenig> !upgrading | hendaus
[03:11] <ubotu> hendaus: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[03:11] <whonicca> ty for the help
[03:11] <GreaseMonkey> hey there
[03:12] <bruenig> !hi | GreaseMonkey
[03:12] <compilerwriter> I tried to set up ssh using key pairs before and screwed it up.  Thank you for the help bruenig in getting things fixed.  Will someone please help me do it correctly this time?
[03:12] <ubotu> GreaseMonkey: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[03:12] <xtknight> T3hMikey, unfortunately i'm still not sure what's going on
[03:12] <bruenig> hendaus, what is your other language
[03:12] <GreaseMonkey> quick opinion poll: what do you think of Ubuntu 6.0.6 LTS?
[03:12] <dauoalagio> xtknight, that it did not.  it just paused for a second, gave no errors. and then acted as if i had something else to type (like a new command)
[03:12] <xtknight> T3hMikey, not that i want to give up, though.  somehow i'll need to know every option you see under Edit->preferences
[03:12] <hendaus> bruenig,  espanish
[03:12] <bruenig> GreaseMonkey, very nice
[03:12] <bruenig> !es | hendaus
[03:12] <ubotu> hendaus: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[03:12] <GreaseMonkey> ok, should i install that?
[03:12] <compilerwriter> Greasemonkey I loved it, but like edgy better.
[03:12] <bruenig> GreaseMonkey, well edgy is great too
[03:12] <matthew1429> could I install the current level of feisty and then let the update manager update it as it becomes official or would that be risky?
[03:12] <GreaseMonkey> i can't just randomly get a linux distro, my connection is utter crap
[03:13] <T3hMikey> xtknight: Does Ubuntu come with an MS Paint equivalent?
[03:13] <Flannel> matthew1429: yeah.  You'll have feisty, and you'll update each day to the newer stuff
[03:13] <bruenig> matthew1429, that particular approach would be fine, installing feisty which is alpha is itself risky
[03:13] <T3hMikey> xtknight: if so, I'll screenshot it and upload the screenshot somewhere so you can see it
[03:13] <GreaseMonkey> i'm fine with GIMP
[03:13] <xtknight> dauoalagio, ok, then actually i think that just gives you back the original xorg.conf.  ctrl alt backspace to force restart X if you need to
[03:13] <matthew1429> bruenig: risky for security reasons or stability?
[03:13] <metalhedd> T3hMikey: the GIMP :) its not really equivalent though :)
[03:13] <tyler> why is my usb thumbdrive full.. or say device is full when i use df -h it still has 103mb left... reason>>>
[03:13] <bruenig> matthew1429, stability
[03:13] <GreaseMonkey> eventually you'll learn how to use it like MSPaint
[03:13] <compilerwriter> matthew1429 stability
[03:13] <xtknight> T3hMikey, press print screen
[03:13] <slick_> I've just got samba working, is it possible to configure it so you don't need a user name to access it though?
[03:14] <matthew1429> the reason why I'm even thinking of this is I'm a total noob and I'm getting hangings occasionaly which is probably my fault
[03:14] <T3hMikey> xtknight: oh, hey, it just lets you save the screenshot when you do that
[03:14] <xtknight> T3hMikey, yup;)
[03:14] <T3hMikey> xtknight: I'm used to having to copy/paste it into Paint and stuff
[03:14] <matthew1429> i don't know if it's cuz of dependencies etc
[03:14] <xtknight> T3hMikey, one of the many conveniences of ubuntu
[03:14] <GreaseMonkey> i tried KPaint once... total disaster....
[03:14] <bruenig> T3hMikey, hence linux better
[03:14] <hendaus> bruenig,  i have kubuntu not ubuntu?
[03:14] <ragnar_123> Hey all!
[03:14] <compilerwriter> matthew1429 If you are a total noob stay the hell away from feisty for a while.
[03:14] <matthew1429> hie ragnar
[03:15] <matthew1429> compilerwriter: okay
[03:15] <bruenig> hendaus, doesn't matter, I have told you what you need to do, there is some language barrier, I have given you the channel of your language, I am done, there is nothing more I can do
[03:15] <matthew1429> there's always the option of doing a complete wipe and restart :)
[03:15] <tyler>  mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/thumbdrive
[03:15] <T3hMikey> xtknight: http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/5584/screenshotpz9.png
[03:15] <T3hMikey> xtknight: that's a screenshot of it stretched out so you can see everything in htere
[03:15] <matthew1429> i'll just wait for feisty to be official then I'll do a wipe
[03:15] <KageSenshi> have a quick question here .. just wanna check whether i understood the manpage correctly or not -> "git pull" is equivalent of "svn update" rite? (y/n)
[03:15] <hendaus> bruenig,  ok thanx friend :)
[03:16] <bruenig> matthew1429, if you have nothing to lose then by all means go with feisty, in fact use xubuntu feisty, they need some testers desperately
[03:16] <xtknight> T3hMikey, interesting.  helpful.  ok what about the "Options" tab, what's there?
[03:16] <matthew1429> xubuntu feisty is for older computers isn't it?
[03:16] <compilerwriter> true matthew1429 and you might well have to if you try feisty now.  It could do that to you all by itself, much less you accidently mucking it up.
[03:16] <bruenig> matthew1429, older computers or greater
[03:16] <arooni> whats a good app for voice recording
[03:16] <bruenig> arooni, audacity
[03:16] <compilerwriter> matthew1429 feisty is in alpha
[03:16] <matthew1429> i.e. it's a lite version not containing everything
[03:17] <ragnar_123> Anyone good to bash scripting? I'm downloading edgy iso at the moment, but it takes a lot of time (~2 hours, and I am sleepy). Is there some easy way to set a bash script to power off when done?
[03:17] <Craeo> Hello everybody
[03:17] <T3hMikey> xtknight: "Digital Capture Source:", which I already tried all the possible choices for, and "Shared Mic/Line in:"
[03:17] <bruenig> matthew1429, it contains different things, like abiword instead of open office. It has the ubuntu repos though so you can get whatever you want.
[03:17] <black_13> does ubuntu use the settings in fstab?
[03:17] <T3hMikey> xtknight: wow, I think GAIM is just acting up xD
[03:17] <bruenig> black_13, yes
[03:17] <matthew1429> has anyone tried the ubuntu flavors such as audio/video distro etc
[03:17] <T3hMikey> xtknight: I changed the Shared Mic/Line in: option, and I can hear my mic now
[03:18] <T3hMikey> xtknight: really, really well, too
[03:18] <black_13> bruenig, it looks like the values are autogenerated
[03:18] <james296> how can I install Feisty Fawn over Edgy Eft?
[03:18] <wolfspirit> black_13: yes but I believe it also uses HAL which has it's own way of configuring things
[03:18] <matthew1429> I thought I saw a slashdot or something on people packaging ubuntu in like Christmas ubuntu and something else coming out
[03:18] <compilerwriter> anyone willing to take me by the hand through ssh with keys so I don't lock myself out again?
[03:18] <bruenig> black_13, they are autogenerated during install, but they can be modified
[03:18] <T3hMikey> xtknight: I'm looking for something else to help test that theory now
[03:18] <Craeo> Got a problem with the installation from the live CD, Once the system starts to format the partitions and begins the installation the computer freezes up. Everytime. I check the CD for defects and there were a couple of mismatch one of which being a filesystem file but I wasn't for sure of which one when I saw it. Is this problem common?
[03:18] <bruenig> matthew1429, yeah christmas and ultimate you mean
[03:18] <black_13> bruenig, i ask because i want to mount /dev/hdb1 to /opt
[03:19] <bruenig> matthew1429, I have never tried them, I thought it was kind of odd
[03:19] <matthew1429> bruenig: are they just ubuntu with other stuff preinstalled?
[03:19] <arooni> how do i record
[03:19] <dauoalagi> xtknight, let me back up a little.  i tried editing my xorg.conf for beryl but i screwed up apprently, for xserver wouldn't start.  so i tried to deleting what i put in.  and it said there was an error.  so of course i tried "xorgconfig"  and it says there is no such command.  and then reinstallation changed the error to something with "xauth and xinit"  sorry for the disconnection
[03:19] <bruenig> black_13, well if you know the syntax, go for it. I always mess something up helping with fstab with the options and stuff
[03:19] <arooni> whats the best record app?
[03:19] <xtknight> T3hMikey, i just thought of something..
[03:19] <bruenig> matthew1429, from the looks of it
[03:19] <matthew1429> arooni: what are you recording?
[03:19] <xtknight> T3hMikey, the sound program isn't using CA0106 it's using VIA or realtek
[03:19] <bruenig> arooni, I already told you, audacity
[03:19] <malik_> can any1 help with the installation of a webcam?
[03:20] <arooni> matthew1429: a message that i will play back when people call a voip #
[03:20] <jomino> Craeo, so your cd is defect?
[03:20] <arooni> bruenig: oops my mistake
[03:20] <blanky> hey guys waht's the package that lets me record my desktop?
[03:20] <xtknight> T3hMikey, so type this in the terminal "asoundconf list"
[03:20] <T3hMikey> xtknight: I dunno, changing that one setting in CA0106 definitely changed something
[03:20] <bruenig> blanky, recordmydesktop
[03:20] <rwxr-xr--> Cya guys. babye all
[03:20] <rwxr-xr--> thanks for all
[03:20] <blanky> bruenig: thanks man
[03:20] <blanky> bruenig: not in the repositories, I'll google it
[03:20] <xtknight> dauoalagi, umm sorry i have no idea.  try #beryl for support on that one they're more experienced on X/window manager stuff
[03:20] <malik_> can any1 help with the installation of a creative pd0040 webcam?..........i have been trying for 3 wks...........no luck?
[03:20] <T3hMikey> xtknight: "Names of available sound cards: v8237 CA0106"
[03:20] <bruenig> blanky, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=294605
[03:21] <blanky> thanks bruenig
[03:21] <jomino> blanky, you already got that if you have gnome usually
[03:21] <dauoalagi> xtknight thank you.
[03:21] <Craeo> I believe it may be a defect but I have downloaded the ISO twice from two different US Servers and it stills says it has some defects
[03:21] <blanky> jomino: oh really? how do I run it, oh, just recordmydesktop, thanks
[03:21] <xtknight> T3hMikey, type "sudo asounfconf set-default-card CA0106"  then try rebooting
[03:21] <compilerwriter> bruenig thank you for your aid in rescuing my system.
[03:21] <xtknight> T3hMikey, asound....conf not asounf, sorry
[03:21] <bruenig> !thanks | compilerwriter
[03:21] <ubotu> compilerwriter: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[03:22] <jomino> blanky, just press print
[03:22] <malik_> my tv tuner card shows up in cam device list instead of webcam..............any help will be appreciated n if some one can help i ll even pay for it?
[03:22] <T3hMikey> xtknight: okay, gonna reboot real quick, brb
[03:22] <bruenig> jomino, he wants a screencast not screenshot
[03:22] <arooni> what is a synonym for find?
[03:22] <pate4ever> hi everyone
[03:22] <arooni> in the mean of searching
[03:22] <xtknight> arooni, locate
[03:22] <bruenig> arooni, whereis
[03:22] <jomino> blanky, ok sry didn't get that
[03:22] <T3hMikey> xtknight: oh, god, it's working now
[03:22] <xtknight> aroman, seek
[03:22] <bruenig> locate
[03:22] <blanky> haha
[03:22] <xtknight> sorry
[03:22] <T3hMikey> xtknight: and my ears hurt
[03:23] <xtknight> lol
[03:23] <bruenig> you can ls recursively and grep too
[03:23] <xtknight> T3hMikey, haha
[03:23] <pate4ever> alright i don't know if anyone here knows about this, but in america we're supposed to set our clocks forward tonight. is ubuntu going to be able to handle the time change this evening?
[03:23] <xtknight> pate4ever, pretty sure their were updates.  just do "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade"
[03:23] <matthew1429> pate4ever: I noticed a time update so I assume so
[03:23] <slick_> I've just got samba working, is it possible to configure it so you don't need a user name to access it though?
[03:23] <tocksick> night all
[03:24] <pate4ever> great, thanks a lot!
[03:24] <xtknight> when does the actual time change take place?
[03:24] <xtknight> 2am previous time or something?
[03:24] <T3hMikey> xtknight: but now I have no volume control
[03:24] <r4nge> where do i see what kind of permissions a group has
[03:24] <james296> so how can I install Feisty Fawn on Edgy Eft?
[03:24] <T3hMikey> xtknight: so I'm back to where I was last night, which I guess is somewhat of a good thing
[03:25] <Craeo> Is there a way to install Ubuntu without booting into the Live CD?
[03:25] <malik_> my tv tuner card shows up in cam device list instead of webcam..............any help will be appreciated n if some one can help i ll even pay for it?
[03:25] <bruenig> r4nge, on a particular file? ls -l
[03:25] <dauoalagi> xtknight, they pointed me back here haha
[03:25] <xtknight> T3hMikey, alright, how are you trying to adjust volume?
[03:25] <xtknight> dauoalagi, loo
[03:25] <xtknight> dauoalagi, lol
[03:25] <xtknight> dauoalagi, sounds like a bad customer service call.  oh well, maybe #ubuntu-effects can help
[03:25] <DrDogwelder> Craeo, you need to get the alternate install disc.
[03:25] <T3hMikey> xtknight: there's a little speaker symbol up by the clock that, when clicked, makes a little box with a slide-thingy pop up
[03:25] <r4nge> no in general, like can i make a group called normal and put restirctions on it
[03:25] <xtknight> dauoalagi, or here may be able to help but that sounds like a pretty complicated problem
[03:25] <james296> well?
[03:25] <dauoalagi> all right xtknight i will try there, is there a #xorg ?
[03:26] <T3hMikey> xtknight: I slid it all the way down to where it makes an X come up over the speaker, and it's still really loud
[03:26] <jomino> T3hMikey, did i get it right you had a problem recording sound from your mircophone? how did you solve it and witch input source was the right one?
[03:26] <xtknight> dauoalagi, yes actually
[03:26] <xtknight> dauoalagi, #xorg good idea
[03:26] <r4nge> like group normal can only have 50mb each, etc
[03:26] <Gurpartap> how do you change mouse pointers?
[03:26] <Gurpartap> cursor theme?
[03:26] <Gurpartap> :)
[03:26] <T3hMikey> jomino: I never tried recording, I just got to the point where I could hear input from my microphone
[03:26] <dauoalagi> no #org
[03:26] <dauoalagi> no #xserver
[03:26] <arrenlex> In apt-build, how do you build a package, without installing it?
[03:26] <xtknight> T3hMikey, ok well i think there's a bug in the volume adjuster when having multiple sound cards.  unfortunately....
[03:26] <javiolo> hi
[03:26] <T3hMikey> jomino: and I still can, and the line in thing changes the volume for it, but I can't change the volume for my output sound
[03:27] <T3hMikey> xtknight: so in short, I'm screwed?
[03:27] <jomino> T3hMikey, and how did you do that? i didn't even get near that :(
[03:27] <xtknight> T3hMikey, err no wait wait
[03:27] <javiolo> is it tcpdump installed by default on ubuntu sever ?
[03:27] <xtknight> T3hMikey, right click the volume control icon and press preferences.  change the device!
[03:27] <dauoalagi> T3hmikey, are you having a problem with sound volume even with it at maxed?
[03:27] <T3hMikey> jomino: I started checking boxes and messing with options at random
[03:27] <Craeo> Working off the alternative CD, will that make the installation any harder?
[03:27] <T3hMikey> dauoalagi: it seems maxed no matter what I do
[03:28] <xtknight> dauoalagi, #xorg
[03:28] <jomino> T3hMikey, mmhhhh did that too didn't work for me
[03:28] <robbie_crash> where does wine put it's stuff by default?
[03:28] <dauoalagi> T3hMikey, i am having a problem with it maxed but it's too low and kinda distorted
[03:28] <xtknight> T3hMikey, i'm pretty sure my suggestion above will fix it.  any luck>?
[03:28] <T3hMikey> xtknight: that didn't seem to do anything
[03:28] <DrDogwelder> Craeo, not really.  It'll just be in a text screen instead of a desktop and you'll have more options.
[03:28] <xtknight> T3hMikey, darn
[03:28] <bruenig> robbie_crash, .wine is where the fake drive c is
[03:28] <robbie_crash> I just installed a game and I don't know where my exe is :(
[03:28] <dauoalagi> xtknight, there isn't a #org
[03:28] <xtknight> dauoalagi, not an #org, but there is an #xorg
[03:28] <wolfspirit> no. #xorg
[03:28] <arooni> whats a synonym for call
[03:28] <robbie_crash> any idea where the default for that is bruenig
[03:28] <robbie_crash> ?
[03:29] <bruenig> robbie_crash, oh I meant to say ~/.wine sorry
[03:29] <robbie_crash> thanks
[03:29] <xtknight> T3hMikey, well that's very odd.  hrmm try restarting the volume icon?
[03:29] <hendaus> bruenig,  maybe i join to the wrong channel, coz noone is answering me
[03:29] <T3hMikey> xtknight: wait, I think I figured it out, that thing changes a specific bar thingy, and I've got quite a few, so I think I need to go through and figure out which one affects my headphones
[03:29] <nukem> hey im trying 2 install ubuntu on a machine but everytime i try it keeps failing at "select and install software"
[03:29] <xtknight> T3hMikey, ok
[03:29] <bruenig> hendaus, sorry, maybe nobody knows
[03:29] <hendaus> bruenig,  i mean in #ubuntu -es
[03:29] <nukem> it dose not give me an error message besides that
[03:29] <Gurpartap> How to change cursor theme ? Anyone ? :-)
[03:29] <bruno__> I guys i have an ATI RADEON EXPRESS 200M and i installed beryl and xgl on my Ubuntu Edgy. In the beginning all worked well but when i make updates of beryl it never more worked well. Do you know what can i do?
[03:30] <xtknight> T3hMikey, maybe you changed it to CA0106 but you need to change if it affects PCM/master?  it's also under prefernces for the volume icon
[03:30] <Craeo> What about the commands, I'm not familiar with Linux at all and working through the command-line may be challenging if I have to know some commands to navigate. Will I have to known any?
[03:30] <bruenig> hendaus, #ubuntu-es no space, if that makes any difference at all
[03:30] <T3hMikey> xtknight: it doesn't have a PCM or master
[03:30] <david____> in 6.06, how do i set my screen resolution to 1024 x 768?
[03:30] <javiolo> is it tcpdump installed by default on ubuntu sever ?
[03:30] <T3hMikey> xtknight: it's got all those things in that pic I linked, but no PCM or master
[03:30] <Tonren> wtf... how do I eject a CD if my window manager refuses to respond to Right Click + Eject

[03:30] <bruenig> Tonren, eject
[03:30] <jomino> T3hMikey, what is the name of the input thing where you got your mic attached to?
[03:30] <hendaus> bruenig,  yes i know but no one help,so what can i do
[03:31] <xtknight> Tonren, you could use hdparm to remove an eject lock if there's some type of problem
[03:31] <Tonren> Ahh, device was busy
[03:31] <hendaus> bruenig,  u have to tell me friend
[03:31] <Tonren> It'd be awfully nice if it MENTIONED THAT instead of quietly failing
[03:31] <bruenig> hendaus, there is nothing left I can do
[03:31] <T3hMikey> jomino: what do you mean? like, what did I do to make it work?
[03:31] <DrDogwelder> Craeo, once it's done installing, it'll boot to a GUI.  You won't need to know any commands to get it installed.
[03:31] <xtknight> T3hMikey,  iec958 is pcm, perhaps?
[03:31] <Firefoxman> is this channel logged?
[03:31] <Firefoxman> hello?
[03:31] <T3hMikey> xtknight: woohoo! it works!
[03:31] <xtknight> T3hMikey, well what did you do?
[03:31] <T3hMikey> xtknight: analog front
[03:32] <xtknight> T3hMikey, ahh ok.  thatll do for stereo sound, or it adjusts front for a 5.1
[03:32] <david____> can you post that link again. i cant see it in this tiny resolution. it scrolled off
[03:32] <Craeo> Well thank you very much for the help?

[03:33] <xtknight> Firefoxman, why
[03:33] <jomino> T3hMikey, mhhh
[03:33] <xtknight> Firefoxman, and no there is not actually.  anyone can log channels at their will
[03:34] <GigaClon> you aren't Osama are you?
[03:34] <Firefoxman> Well, I am paranoid about people searching for my name on google and finding it on the net.
[03:34] <xtknight> lol
[03:34] <hendaus> bruenig,  i have a nokia cellphone 6230 and i want to took all the photos from it,how can i open it from kubuntu?
[03:34] <bruenig> Firefoxman, your parents shouldn't have named you firefoxman
[03:34] <bruenig> hendaus, no idea
[03:34] <Firefoxman> I thot the web was supposed to be anonamos.
[03:34] <T3hMikey> xtknight: okay, last problem I've got. Is there something I can do to get widescreen resolutions? I found the screen resolution selection thing, but it only goes up to like 1024x780 or something like that, and all three I can choose are definitely not widescreen
[03:34] <bruenig> Firefoxman, the web is not "supposed" to be anything
[03:34] <dauoalagi1> xtknight, why do you think "xorgconfig" returns no command?
[03:35] <Firefoxman> Well, TOR was.
[03:35] <xtknight> Firefoxman, there is no way for us to figure out your real name from IRC unless you entered it in your WHOIS, which you did not.  at least not your last name
[03:35] <Firefoxman> Which I may or may not be using.
[03:35] <lisapc> hi
[03:35] <xtknight> dauoalagi, that's not a proper ocmmand
[03:35] <Savage-{> Is there a bluetooth applet for gnome for detecting and connecting to bluetooth devices?  if not then how to you set the URI: address in CUPS?
[03:35] <bruenig> Firefoxman, tor makes your ip anonymous
[03:35] <arrenlex> Firefoxman: You're one of those tinfoil hat people, aren't you?
[03:35] <bruenig> Firefoxman, if you are using tor and then start a website that has all your information on it, guess what your still there
[03:35] <dauoalagi1> xtknight, neither does xorgconf
[03:35] <Firefoxman> I know.
[03:35] <javiolo> is it tcpdump installed by default on ubuntu sever ?
[03:35] <Firefoxman> I know.
[03:36] <xtknight> T3hMikey, for 5.1 you will just have to adjust all the channels individually i guess.  surprised there's no pcm and master
[03:36] <lisapc> im running Kubuntu atm.  How can I install Gnome please as I used to use that and loved it better then KDE
[03:36] <Firefoxman> Arrenlex: No, just dont want my friends to see me in a linux chat.
[03:36] <xtknight> T3hMikey, yes im on a widescreen atm
[03:36] <mage__> apt-get install gnome-desktop maybe?
[03:36] <T3hMikey> xtknight: I figured out how to get it to modify them all, just hold ctrl so I can pick a bunch of them
[03:36] <bruenig> lisapc, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[03:36] <dauoalagi1> lisapc, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[03:36] <GigaClon> lisapc, install ubuntu-desktop
[03:36] <jomino> lisapc, sudo aptitude install gnome-desktop
[03:36] <T3hMikey> xtknight: how'd you get that to work?
[03:36] <mage__> hah
[03:36] <xtknight> T3hMikey, really hrmm
[03:36] <xtknight> T3hMikey, control where?
[03:36] <T3hMikey> xtknight: on the keyboard
[03:36] <mage__> jomino: a person can give aptitude commands like that?
[03:36] <lisapc> should I use aptitude or apt-get?
[03:36] <xtknight> T3hMikey, in what prog though?
[03:36] <bruenig> apt-get
[03:37] <lisapc> how can I see everyones nicks in channel in xchat?
[03:37] <mage__> eeeee
[03:37] <T3hMikey> xtknight: when was in preferences for that little speaker, it let me pick the sound card and which of the little bars to control
[03:37] <mage__> what happened to xchat?
[03:37] <lisapc> bruenig,  ty, and how can I play video files in ubuntu?  mpeg, avi, xvid etc?
[03:37] <bruenig> lisapc, click at the very edgy of the right side of the screen and pull out the list, for some reason it is tucked in there when you first use xchat
[03:37] <lisapc> mage__,  i cant see any nicks who is here
[03:37] <jomino> mage__, something wrong with it?
[03:37] <xtknight> T3hMikey, very neat

[03:37] <xtknight> T3hMikey, well anyway about the widescreen..
[03:37] <Firefoxman> Akk. I didnt enter my name in WHOIS. Gaim must have put it there by looking at my accoont!
[03:37] <mage__> jomino: never tried aptitude blah blah
[03:37] <dauoalagi1> xtknight, how do you rename a file from the terminal?
[03:38] <xtknight> dauoalagi1, "mv currentfile newfilename"
[03:38] <T3hMikey> xtknight: ctrl lets you pick multiple files in windows, so I just tried that and got lucky
[03:38] <dauoalagi1> xtknight, tnx
[03:38] <lisapc> bruenig,  thanks a lot :) it was horrid not seeing any nicks :)
[03:38] <T3hMikey> xtknight: seems to work with Ubuntu, too
[03:38] <mage__> heh i've gotten used to irssi so xchat almost doesn't bother me
[03:38] <Firefoxman> How can I change that.
[03:38] <Firefoxman> In gaim
[03:38] <jomino> mage__, i don't get it install ... same for apt-get?^^

[03:39] <jumbers> xtknight: Thank you
[03:39] <mage__> jomino: never seen it done so thought it coulda been a whoops so i pointed it out ;)
[03:39] <Firefoxman> Akk. I didnt enter my name in WHOIS. Gaim must have put it there by looking at my accoont How do I get rid of it!
[03:39] <bruenig> hendaus, ask the channel
[03:39] <timthelion> why did sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start report fail?  I just installed it with apt-get how can something be wrong already?
[03:39] <hendaus> hi friends  i have two hard disks , the other one is ntfs and i cant see it ,how can i make it appear thanx
[03:39] <mage__> timthelion: doesn't it autostart?
[03:39] <jomino> mage__, ok i think aptitude will rule the world so learn the rules ;)
[03:39] <dauoalagi1> xtknight, reinstall time haha
[03:40] <Firefoxman> Akk. I didnt enter my name in WHOIS. Gaim must have put it there by looking at my accoont!

[03:40] <lisapc>  bruenig  If I type: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. will I then get a choise between KDE and Gnome?
[03:40] <mage__> Firefoxman: my whois says "gaim" so whats your name ;)

[03:40] <timthelion> mage__ not when if fails to start the first time
[03:40] <xtknight> dauoalagi1, why is that
[03:40] <T3hMikey> xtknight: do I need to hunt down drivers for my video card or something?
[03:41] <xtknight> dauoalagi1, ah youre the one with the xorg problem.  i guess reinstall if it's not too much trouble.  something else could haev been screwed up
[03:41] <bruenig> Firefoxman, I know how to do it in xchat, but not gaim
[03:41] <timthelion> mage__I couldn't accessi it certaintly
[03:41] <dauoalagi1> xtknight, xserver is completely screwed
[03:41] <timthelion> mage__ maybe it is already running
[03:41] <lisapc> If I type: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. will I then get a choise between KDE and Gnome?  or will this delete or clash with KDE thats already installed?
[03:41] <xtknight> T3hMikey, hrmm not really.  type this in the terminal "gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[03:41] <bruenig> we know his name is luke and that he uses firefoxman in irc, let's go use the internets to figure him out
[03:41] <timthelion> mage__ but it still don't work
[03:41] <mage__> ps -ef |grep sshd
[03:41] <dauoalagi1> xtknight, yeah i just installed it today i had nothing on it
[03:41] <Firefoxman> It shows up when I whois my self as *name*@wikipedia/firefoxman
[03:41] <xtknight> dauoalagi1, eh go ahead i suppose.  you could try this before that though::
[03:41] <hendaus> hi friends  i have two hard disks , the second one is ntfs and i cant see it ,how can i make it appear , can anyone help

[03:42] <nullmind> How can I set gnome-system-monitor to start with higher priority so it comes up fast?
[03:42] <mage__> Firefoxman: your ubuntu user account isn't Luke?
[03:42] <Firefoxman> !patience
[03:42] <Firefoxman> It is.
[03:42] <mage__> thats where it got it from
[03:42] <Firefoxman> I want it not to show up as that when I use GAIM
[03:42] <T3hMikey> xtknight: okay, so what am I looking for here?
[03:42] <crdlb> nullman, I don't think renicing would help startup speed
[03:42] <dauoalagi1> xtknight. i had tried "sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-core" and then "sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core"  with no luck.
[03:42] <mage__> Firefoxman: poke around the options for the irc account then
[03:42] <crdlb> nullmind, ^^
[03:43] <bruenig> Firefoxman, you can't edit the account?
[03:43] <xtknight> T3hMikey, alright what monitor do you have?
[03:43] <hendaus> please help!
[03:43] <xtknight> dauoalagi1, guess it is reinstall time
[03:43] <Firefoxman> No.
[03:43] <T3hMikey> xtknight: Some ViewSonic LCD monitor
[03:43] <xtknight> T3hMikey, size?
[03:43] <bruenig> Firefoxman, use xchat then
[03:43] <nullmind> crdlb: if the process had a a lower nice value it would become visible faster and be more responsive than other GUI apps
[03:43] <Firefoxman> It was assigned by my office
[03:43] <aldin> hendaus: say ur problem
[03:43] <Firefoxman> ah.
[03:43] <mage__> hendaus: what sort of cant see it?
[03:44] <hendaus> hi friends  i have two hard disks , the second one is ntfs and i cant see it ,how can i make it appear , can anyone help
[03:44] <dauoalagi1> yeah but it isn;t that bad, it installs in less than 30 minutes and i have to Charles Dickens for school.
[03:44] <nullmind> I need to know if there is a way to set the process to have a lower nice value by default

[03:44] <T3hMikey> xtknight: I don't remember, but it's always suggesting 1440x900 whenever I do anything that involves a different resolution

[03:44] <mage__> hendaus: ide? does bios see them both?
[03:44] <bruenig> oh Firefoxman doesn't want his office to find out about all the pr0n he watches
[03:44] <T3hMikey> xtknight: I'm for some reason tempted to say 19"
[03:44] <xtknight> T3hMikey,  19" widescreen then, 1440x900 is your native res.  you can add that to the resolution mode list of Xorg.conf for each color depth entry.
[03:44] <aldin> hendaus: just sec
[03:44] <crdlb> nullmind, rencing would help responsiveness, but startup time is more a matter of copying it from your hdd to your ram
[03:44] <bruenig> and all the bizarre irc channels he goes to
[03:44] <hendaus> mage__,  i see just one
[03:45] <xtknight> T3hMikey, see where it says Modes      "1024x768" "...
[03:45] <crdlb> nullmind, have you tried prelinking?
[03:45] <nullmind> yes and preloading
[03:45] <xtknight> T3hMikey, add "1440x900"  to each one
[03:45] <mage__> hendaus: maybe you plugged them both in as primary master ;)
[03:45] <nullmind> it starts fast, just not when higher priority apps are working
[03:45] <T3hMikey> xtknight: ah, yeah, I see it, and that should fix it?
[03:45] <hendaus> mage__,  no
[03:45] <hendaus> master / slave
[03:46] <mage__> hendaus: well theres 3 places to look, the bios, what linux sees as disks, and fancy schmancy automounting junk
[03:46] <crdlb> nullman, you could create a launcher that runs htop in an xterm, that would certainly be fast
[03:46] <xtknight> T3hMikey, yup.  if you want a quick fix and dont mind closing everything you have open just press ctrl alt backspace to restart your X session.  then press "Ctrl alt Plus" to increase resolution if it isn't already 1440x900 by the time the X starts up again
[03:46] <aldin> hendaus: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions

[03:50] <aldin> hendaus: can u send this: cat /etc/fstab
[03:50] <T3hMikey> xtknight: crap, I forgot it when I restarted X, what's the thing to make my resolution bigger again?
[03:50] <bruenig> can someone explain what dmask and fmask mean in fstab, what do those numbers correspond to
[03:50] <lisapc> GigaClon,  can I now chose between loading KDE and Gnome?
[03:51] <lisapc> GigaClon,  they wont clash being on same system?
[03:51] <hendaus> GigaClon,  i use before kubuntu nero on windows and it makes vcd and dvd movies , but now i am using kubuntu and i dont know how to make vcds and dvd
[03:51] <xtknight> bruenig, not sure what you're speaking of?
[03:51] <phpnub|away> hendaus, get nero
[03:51] <arrenlex> hendaus: Doesn't k3b give you options for that?
[03:51] <xtknight> T3hMikey, "ctrl alt plus" will cycle thru resolutions (and "ctrl alt minus")
[03:51] <GigaClon> yeah at the login screen lisapc
[03:51] <bruenig> xtknight, in /etc/fstab there are dmask and fmask options, they look like this fmask=#### but I can't figure out what those numbers correspond to
[03:52] <hendaus> aldin,  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9765/
[03:52] <xtknight> bruenig, not sure, all i have is umask
[03:52] <xtknight> bruenig, edgy?
[03:52] <T3hMikey> xtknight: neither seems to be doing anything
[03:52] <bruenig> xtknight, not in my fstab, but in general
[03:52] <arrenlex> bruenig: <guess>file permissions mask and directory permissions mask?</guess>
[03:52] <hendaus> arrenlex,  no it says it works with mpeg1 and 2
[03:52] <T3hMikey> xtknight: and I checked the screen resolution thing under system -> preferences, and it's not on that list either
[03:52] <xtknight> T3hMikey, hrm.  odd.  you restarted X?
[03:52] <T3hMikey> xtknight: do I need to add my resolution somewhere else in that .conf?
[03:52] <arrenlex> hendaus: What says that? When you're trying to do what? Giving it what?
[03:52] <T3hMikey> xtknight: yeah, I did that ctrl alt backspace thing
[03:52] <xtknight> T3hMikey, well did you only add it for one color depth or for all color depths?  post your xorg.conf...
[03:52] <hendaus> phpnub, i have nero but there is no vcds and dvd option
[03:53] <r4nge> how can i set limits on a group, say add a quota for each new user to the group, or other things

[03:53] <phpnub> there is a dvd video option in the burn area read carefully it's where you select the type of disc you are going to burn to
[03:53] <aldin> phpnub: is it possible?
[03:53] <arrenlex> mirak: several ways: sudo powersave -U, hibernate, or s2disk might work.
[03:53] <hendaus> aldin,  i want to see my second hd files
[03:53] <xtknight> T3hMikey, odd, post your Xorg.conf on pastebin and i'll take a look
[03:53] <phpnub> aldin, well it was until mine broke just trying to find out if anyone else if having the same problems
[03:54] <mirak> arrenlex: it installed by default ?
[03:54] <xtknight> T3hMikey, also try this command: "xrandr -q" and see if you see 1440x900 in there
[03:54] <mirak> arrenlex: does it save to disc or swap ?
[03:54] <CorpseFeeder> how do you add plugins to rhythmbox?
[03:54] <T3hMikey> xtknight: nope, it doesn't come up on that list
[03:54] <arrenlex> mirak: a) Don't know, don't run ubuntu. b) Swap, but swap IS disc.

[03:59] <gu014> aldin, i have tried to do a sudo chmod 777 /media/usbdisk and it yields : 'chmod: changing permissions of `/media/usbdisk/': Read-only file system'
[03:59] <hendaus> aldin,  ok then
[03:59] <xtknight> T3hMikey, very odd.  well you could try installing ati's official drivers
[04:00] <xtknight> T3hMikey, are you using 'vesa' or 'ati' or 'radeon' right now for drivers?

[04:02] <xtknight> T3hMikey, try the docs at the last one.  if that fails, you may need to install ATI drivers i guess which is the first one ubotu said

[04:05] <devcoder> Hi guys!
[04:05] <Cryoniq> Or restart is a perhaps a more suitable word :)
[04:05] <Arafangion> blackest: Though, I must warn you, that it is in my opinion that find is the most complicated canonical unix program ever written.
[04:05] <gu014> aldin, doesn't the /dev/sdc1 change everytime it is mounted?

[04:06] <devcoder> Please, help-me.
[04:07] <hendaus> aldin,  sudo: moount: command not found
[04:07] <FunnyLookinHat> devcoder, you should ask in #ubuntu-server   they would be more apt to answer that  : )
[04:08] <whileimhere> What program is good to edit the info on an OGG? I have ripped my cds to OGG but some of the titles are wrong and just by changing them in Nautilus it doesnt carry over
[04:08] <Hansin321> I just added a second Ethernet/NIC card to an Ubuntu Server 6.06 box to do a the NAT/Firewall thing.  Can anyone point me in the direction of what I need to do to get Ubuntu to recognize/initialize card (lspci shows its there)?  I can hndle the firewall/NAT part.  Thanks.

[04:09] <whileimhere> isnt amarok just kde
[04:09] <hendaus> aldin,  i type --> sudo moount /media/windows
[04:09] <bruenig> whileimhere, any kde app can be run on gnome
[04:09] <hendaus> lol
[04:09] <hendaus> :<
[04:09] <gu014> whileimhere, no
[04:09] <xtknight> how do you control the permissions or options of something that is automatically mounted like a usb key?
[04:09] <Hansin321> Can I just add an eth1 entery in /etc/network/interfaces?
[04:09] <gu014> aldin, any ideas?
[04:10] <MikeyRibbs> any help?
[04:10] <GigaClon> xtknight, /etc/fstab
[04:10] <jdrake> What service starts smtpd (sendmail)? I can't find anything in /etc/init.d
[04:10] <aldin> gu014: just sec i am typing i pastebin
[04:10] <gu014> aldin, ok, sorry
[04:10] <matthew_> has anyone had problems with Parallels being slow and sluggish in Ubuntu?
[04:10] <mistone> is there a firefox plugin that will automatically dectect if there is a link to a repository and isntall it? if not I will make one
[04:10] <enderxim> What mp3/media player would you recommend for a gnome environment? I am kinda anal about installing kde stuff. I am currently using xmms. :-/
[04:10] <Hansin321> Or do I need to make sure a proper module is loaded (but /etc/modules makes me think most of these are compiled in the kernel).
[04:10] <matthew_> if so what did you do to fix it?
[04:10] <xtknight> matthew_, virtualization is never blazingly fast
[04:11] <xtknight> matthew_, vmware is known to be faster than parallels. vmware server+vmware player are free for a complete solution
[04:11] <mistone> vmware server is free?
[04:11] <aldin> gu014: sudo umount /dev/sdc1
[04:11] <aldin> echo "/dev/sdc1      /media/EXT     ntfs-3g     defaults,locale=en_US.utf8   0    0" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
[04:11] <aldin> sudo mount /media/EXT
[04:11] <matthew_> xtknight: right, but I had better success running Parallels in Windows then in Linux
[04:11] <Arafangion> I've installed network-manager-openvpn, but how do I /use/ it?
[04:11] <T3hMikey> okay, what am I supposed to do with a .run file? It sounds like the equivalent of a .exe, but it just opens in gedit and errors
[04:11] <Imsdle> i can't login to my ubuntu box, it keeps just taking me back to the login screen
[04:12] <Enkidu1016> Anyone know a good source for installing beryl, the ones that i get from beerorkid.com do not work?
[04:12] <xtknight> GigaClon, automountd things aren't in fstab though
[04:12] <Imsdle> can someone tell me how to setup a new user in terminal
[04:12] <qwewqe> hi
[04:12] <matthew_> xtknight: so do you create your vm in the server and then play them in the player?
[04:12] <hendaus> aldin,  which sentence u type for me?
[04:12] <FunnyLookinHat> Enkidu1016, There are some good tutorials in the topic for #ubuntu-effects
[04:12] <MikeyRibbs> whats the most easy to install video ipod format converter?
[04:12] <matthew_> xtknight: under vmware
[04:12] <xtknight> GigaClon, in /etc/mtab there is "/dev/sdc1 /media/LEXAR vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,umask=077 0 0".  it is absent in /etc/fstab, there is no /dev/sdc1 entry
[04:12] <GigaClon> xtknight, then I guess you are out of luck
[04:12] <xtknight> matthew_, yes that's correct
[04:13] <GigaClon> or you could make your own entry
[04:13] <MikeyRibbs> can anybody hook me up?
[04:13] <xtknight> GigaClon, i'm just curious, i want to know more about the automount process.  it's like a black box to me.
[04:14] <T3hMikey> what do I need to do with a .run file? it looks like the equivalent of a .exe, but it just opens in gedit and errors
[04:14] <qwewqe> i am new to linux/ubuntu I have ubuntu 6.10 running I am trying to play avi files from a windows share I can map to the windows share and pull files across the network but cant play avi files across the network at a loss how to get this ti work
[04:14] <xtknight> T3hMikey, "sh asdf.run"
[04:14] <whileimhere> Is there a .flv stand alone player? VLC works okay but not perfect and you cannot scan forward or backwards via the scanbar. Mplayer does not play a file the whole way.
[04:14] <gu014> aldin, thank you sir...now, will this automount?
[04:14] <xtknight> T3hMikey, what is the .run file out of curiosity?  you might need root permissions too
[04:14] <T3hMikey> xtknight: the ATI drivers
[04:14] <bulmer> T3hMikey: file  *.run to tell you what type of file
[04:15] <MikeyRibbs> whats the most easy to install video ipod format converter?
[04:15] <xtknight> T3hMikey, ahh yup you need sudo.  so "sudo sh asdf.run"
[04:15] <MikeyRibbs> someone
[04:15] <Imsdle> >
[04:15] <Imsdle> ?
[04:16] <MikeyRibbs> i need to convert a bunch of avi files how do i make them ipod format?
[04:16] <xtknight> !videora
[04:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about videora - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:16] <aldi1> hendaus: is it working
[04:16] <FunnyLookinHat> MikeyRibbs, maybe you should try searching google or ubuntuforums.org since nobody seems to be responding to you
[04:16] <aldi1> gu014: isit working
[04:16] <bulmer> is there a way to view a file that is ASCII cpio archive (SVR4 with no CRC) ? this is the initrd.gz file of ubuntu
[04:16] <xtknight> MikeyRibbs, maybe mencoder can make them into an mp4/h.264 codec.  search "mencoder ipod" in google without the quotes
[04:17] <qwewqe> anyone here able to play avi files stored on a windows share?
[04:17] <hannu> I've got kind of an elaborate question... could anybody help me find an answer?: If I have 2 named pipes, fifo1 and fifo2, and I do; (shell1) cat pipe1>pipe2 (shell2)cat pipe2|tee pipe1 (shell3)echo 1>pipe1; shell 2 spits out '1's. But if instead on shell1 I do: cat pipe1 | awk '{print $1}' > pipe2, I get nothing. What's different?
[04:17] <MikeyRibbs> okay thanks guys
[04:17] <gu014> aldil, it is working. thank you.  is there anyway to have it auto mount so that i do not have to manually issue the command everytime?
[04:17] <bulmer> qwewqe: umm tried to transfer it over to linux side then play it?
[04:17] <hendaus> aldi1, mount: can't find /media/windows in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[04:17] <xtknight> MikeyRibbs, http://changelog.complete.org/posts/495-An-iPod-under-Linux.html
[04:17] <gu014> aldil, also, can i change the permission so i can unmount when not root
[04:18] <bulmer> hendaus: do you have a directory called /media/windows?
[04:18] <qwewqe> that works bulmar but isnt ideal woul rather be able to play across the network
[04:18] <hendaus> yes
[04:18] <hendaus> bulmer,  yes
[04:18] <xtknight> bulmer, what do you mean by view it?
[04:18] <aldi1> gu014: hmmm well i dont use external disks... but there is an "auto" option which u can google for ... sorry thats how much i know now
[04:18] <whileimhere> mikeyribbs: ipod encoding for linux http://ubuntuforums.org/tags/index.php/ipod/
[04:18] <gu014> aldil, ok, thank you very much
[04:19] <aldi1> gu014: i dont know...
[04:19] <bulmer> xtknight: i tried to mount it with -o loop and i thought its an ext2 file, so i can see what files are in it
[04:19] <aldi1> just type sudo umount /media/EXT
[04:19] <gu014> aldil, yes, i was just wondering if i could right click | eject
[04:19] <xtknight> bulmer, you're trying to see what's in /boot/initrd img you mean?
[04:19] <bulmer> hendaus: which partition is your windoz format fs?
[04:20] <aldi1> hendaus: do u have /media/windows line in fstab
[04:20] <bulmer> xtknight: yes
[04:20] <aldi1> do cat /etc/fstab
[04:20] <hendaus> aldi1,  umount: /media/EXT: not found
[04:20] <bruenig> it is like helping borat, this is fun to watch
[04:20] <aldi1> hendaus: that was for gu014 from ubuntu room
[04:20] <bulmer> aldi1: he does not need it to be defined in /etc/fstab to mount
[04:21] <T3hMikey> xtknight: it worked when I ran the installation, but now I'm trying to do the configuration thing, and I get this error when I try to do one of the commands "Segmentation fault (core dumped)", what's it mean?
[04:21] <aldi1> gu014: it is possibel as u can umount usbsticks... thats how much i know for now... good luck it shouldn be hard to find solution
[04:22] <hendaus> aldi1,  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9771/
[04:22] <aldi1> hendaus: can we go again
[04:22] <gu014> aldil, ok, thank you again
[04:22] <aldi1> gu014: ur welcome
[04:22] <xtknight> bulmer, ahh so youre here: initrd.img-2.6.20.2: ASCII cpio archive (SVR4 with no CRC)
[04:23] <bulmer> xtknight: actually its a file in the liveCD  /casper/initrd.gz
[04:23] <xtknight> T3hMikey, hmm that doens't sound good.  what command did it happen on
[04:23] <bulmer> xtknight: i assume they are similar, so im trying to mount an iso via -o loop
[04:24] <qwewqe> i installed totem
[04:24] <qwewqe> but cant find it in list of programs installed
[04:24] <FunnyLookinHat> qwewqe, it shows up as "Movie Player" usually
[04:24] <aldi1> hendaus: just sec till i paste ok
[04:24] <bruenig> I don't know why they do that with totem
[04:24] <bruenig> it only confuses things
[04:24] <netham45> can anyone help me with ndiswrapper?
[04:25] <FunnyLookinHat> bruenig, because totem sucks, and calling it totem would make more people realize it   ; )
[04:25] <bulmer> hendaus: you're attempting to mount a FS with no definition in /etc/fstab, you need to mount it manually then
[04:25] <qwewqe> im always confused wiht this thing
[04:25] <bruenig> totem is better than any other movie player in terms of gui and plays pretty  much everything, what else do you want
[04:25] <aldi1> hendaus: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9772/
[04:25] <jamie_> just upgraded to feisty and had ltsp installed.ltsp did not work so i tried to rebuild and got this message ln: creating symbolic link `/dev/fd' to `/proc/self/fd': File exists anyone tell me how to get past this
[04:25] <xtknight> bulmer, cat initrd.img-2.6.20.2|  cpio -i --make-directories
[04:25] <qwewqe> so movie player is totem
[04:25] <FunnyLookinHat> bruenig, errr....  VLC.  : )
[04:26] <bulmer> xtknight: option -i to cpio is not install i hope :)
[04:26] <xtknight> bulmer, do that if it's ASCII cpio.  or if it's still in gzip you do "gunzip < /boot/initrd.img | cpio -i --make-directories"
[04:26] <netham45> can anyone hear me?
[04:26] <qwewqe> ok i installed all codecs but it doesnt play avi files
[04:26] <bruenig> vlc sucks at gui, I often play 2 or 3 videos at once, but there is no list, I can't stand it
[04:26] <xtknight> bulmer, nope extract oddly enough hehe
[04:26] <xtknight> bulmer, cpio isn't that..."sophisticated"
[04:26] <bulmer> xtknight: okay..thanks
[04:26] <bruenig> qwewqe, avi is just a container, you have not installed all the codecs clearly
[04:26] <alienseer23> help, I accidentally removed my /tmp directory, how do I recreate it in console???
[04:26] <qwewqe> ok will try again
[04:26] <FunnyLookinHat> bruenig, lol, have you ever tried clicking the "list" button.... ?   : )    In any case, VLC isn't included because it supports restricted formats
[04:26] <bruenig> qwewqe, sudo apt-get install totem-xine
[04:27] <MikeyRibbs> hey, i'm having trouble getting the ffmpeg xvid codec any hekp out there?

[04:32] <atomiku> im hardcore
[04:32] <atomiku> (lol)
[04:32] <aldin> hendaus: sudo fdisk -l
[04:33] <atomiku> So, how do I do this grub-install ?
[04:33] <xtknight> atomiku, well you probably want grub on your MBR anyhow, which would be /dev/hda not hda1
[04:33] <aldin> atomiku
[04:33] <aldin> do u have live cd
[04:33] <arrow__> I can't get the sound in firefox to work on youtube
[04:33] <atomiku> im on the livecd now
[04:33] <netham45> WINDOWS BE THE PWNZERS OF THE OS WORLD!
[04:33] <aldin> atomiku: great
[04:33] <xtknight> arrow__, common flash/sound issue, you could search on the forums for it
[04:33] <aldin> atomiku: do this :
[04:33] <aldin> mkdir backup
[04:33] <hendaus> aldin,  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9774/
[04:33] <atomiku> i got backups
[04:33] <arrow__> xtknight: thx will do
[04:33] <atomiku> all I wanna do is regenerate my stage1 file
[04:34] <xtknight> atomiku, "sudo grub-install /dev/hda"
[04:34] <xtknight> atomiku, err wait one sec you need to specify root dir
[04:34] <aldin> sudo mount /dev/hdaX backup
[04:34] <wolferine> what is the channel for Beryl questions?
[04:34] <aldin> hdaX is ur linux partition
[04:34] <xtknight> wolferine, #beryl
[04:34] <atomiku> okay
[04:34] <atomiku> aldin: with you so far, already have it mounted :)
[04:34] <wolferine> isnt there another ubuntu one?
[04:34] <xtknight> wolferine, #ubuntu-effects ?
[04:34] <aldin> atomiku: good, now this
[04:34] <wolferine> yes
[04:35] <wolferine> thanks
[04:35] <atomiku> xtknight: grub-install gave me alot of trouble even when I specified the root dir
[04:35] <xtknight> atomiku, "sudo grub-install --root-directory=./backup /dev/hda" i think.  let's see if aldin and I agree with that one :P
[04:35] <aldin> atomiku: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/home/atomiku/backup /dev/hda
[04:35] <xtknight> yup
[04:35] <atomiku> hmm
[04:35] <atomiku> yeah okay
[04:35] <atomiku> thanks :)
[04:35] <xtknight> do his, ./backup might not work
[04:36] <aldin> atomiku: what it says
[04:36] <aldin> is it complaining
[04:36] <aldin> it is ok if it mention xfs
[04:36] <atomiku> looks good
[04:36] <aldin> sudo reboot
[04:36] <xtknight> atomiku, were you doing hda1 before?
[04:36] <atomiku> now lemme root (hd0,0) and setup (hd0)
[04:36] <aldin> & enjoy
[04:36] <jimd3299> wow, that paste to web site is an awesome thing.
[04:37] <aldin> jimd3299: that was my first though when i introduced it hehe
[04:37] <atomiku> its all good
[04:37] <bruenig> the magical pastebin wows another
[04:37] <atomiku> now, the moment of truith... to reboot.
[04:37] <atomiku> see you in a little while
[04:37] <hendaus> aldin,  everything ok , but i have another little problem
[04:37] <aldin> atomiku: good, go to boot and connect here with results
[04:37] <ax7> Hi
[04:37] <Akkard_> sup?
[04:37] <aldin> hendaus: say
[04:37] <bruenig> !hi | ax7
[04:37] <ubotu> ax7: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[04:37] <jimd3299> great community here!
[04:38] <bruenig> !thanks | jimd3299
[04:38] <ubotu> jimd3299: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[04:38] <aldin> hendaus: btw i saw ur fdisk -l and it says u have hda & hdb
[04:38] <sn4tch_loki> ubuntu rox ^^
[04:38] <GreaseMonkey> um, why does it need a pipe symbol?
[04:38] <GreaseMonkey> my bot doesn't need that :\
[04:38] <ax7> no
[04:38] <hendaus> aldin,  yes
[04:38] <xtknight> GreaseMonkey, only if it's directed towards a specific person
[04:38] <GreaseMonkey> oh ok
[04:38] <bruenig> GreaseMonkey, some factoids have spaces, so the pipe is necessary
[04:38] <GreaseMonkey> but still
[04:39] <bruenig> ubout, tell Greasemonkey about ubotu
[04:39] <bruenig> ubotu, tell Greasemonkey about ubotu
[04:39] <aldin> hendaus: well which "other" disk except hdb1 u thought to mount
[04:39] <hendaus> aldin,  i have twi files .dat and i want to make it burn as dvd
[04:39] <bruenig> you can always do that, that doesn't need a pipe
[04:39] <GreaseMonkey> i get why it's called ubotu now :D
[04:39] <xtknight> lol\
[04:39] <GreaseMonkey> why do people use pipes though?
[04:39] <GreaseMonkey> !hi peepsalot

[04:41] <aldin> You appear to be spamming the pastebin. I hate spammers so I won't let you. If you're not attempting to spam, please enable javascript so you can pass the antispam check
[04:41] <Smog_21> uf, i think the drivers update very difficult for me. And more in english language
[04:41] <aldin> that was on opera9.10
[04:41] <GreaseMonkey> ah ok
[04:41] <GreaseMonkey> ping
[04:41] <hendaus> aldin,  yes they are movies,but when i was using windows before i use nero it hasw the option of burning video cd(vcd) and dvd
[04:41] <alienseer23> hello, I did something realy dumb, deleted the /tmp directory, I remade it using "sudo mkdir /tmp" but now system won't login, I assume it is a permissions issue, how do I set the permissions correctly for this directory?
[04:41] <GreaseMonkey> just looking up the database
[04:41] <peepsalot> does someone know if this is a bug.  I open vim, and try to use ":help", and i get some error messages instead of ...help
[04:42] <alienseer23> please
[04:42] <bruenig> aldin, don't get started on vcd, I spent probably an hour on that
[04:42] <peepsalot> or am i just missing some help package
[04:42] <xtknight> peepsalot, for me it says E433: No tags file
[04:42] <xtknight> E149: Sorry, no help for help.txt
[04:42] <eck> peepsalot: i think the minimal vim does not come with help, do you have the full vim package installed?
[04:43] <aldin> hendaus: i dont know that ... try to install k3b + all related packages an form k3b try all options a saw some vcds options or something like that
[04:43] <peepsalot> xtknight, yes, that is the message
[04:43] <xtknight> sudo apt-get install vim-full maybe?
[04:43] <xtknight> vim-docs isnt it
[04:43] <peepsalot> eck, I think i just have what came with Ubuntu, i will look for some other packages,
[04:43] <bruenig> peepsalot, vim help worked for me
[04:43] <xtknight> peepsalot, sudo apt-get install vim-full
[04:43] <bruenig> peepsalot, and it is the vim that came with ubuntu
[04:43] <aldin> xtknight: sudo apt-get install vim does th job
[04:43] <xtknight> hrmm
[04:43] <hendaus> aldin,  i try it and it just works with mpeg format
[04:44] <eck> try installing vim rather than vim-tiny
[04:44] <Arafangion> Bleh, can't get the feisty network-manager installed in edgy :(
[04:44] <Arafangion> ls
[04:44] <alienseer23> Q: if I accidentally delete the /tmp directory, how do I repair this? do I need to do a reinstall?

[04:44] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tmp - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:44] <lisapc> i just installed ubuntu 6.10 but I dont see any Synaptic at all!  where is it?
[04:44] <ubotu> network-manager-gnome: network management framework (GNOME frontend). In component main, is optional. Version 0.6.3-2ubuntu6 (edgy), package size 245 kB, installed size 1608 kB

[04:44] <silvertip257> My desktop rig just booted up and started the fsk utility, but remains there for much too long
[04:44] <aldin> hendaus: aha... ok, i dont know try google there are mencoder dvdauthor plenty of dvd tools
[04:44] <bruenig> lisapc, gksu synaptic do anything
[04:44] <Arafangion> bruenig: I want the latest version that theoretically allows easy vpn configuration.
[04:45] <peepsalot> ok eck, i had no idea there was different flavors of vim in ubuntu
[04:45] <lisapc> im getting a popup message in ubuntu saying Netowekr Connection: Lo.  i can change it to eth0 though. what shall I do?
[04:45] <alienseer23> xtknight, I did that, but after doing that user sessions last about 2 seconds?
[04:45] <aldin> lisapc: system-> administration->synaptic package manager
[04:45] <peepsalot> it works now, thank you
[04:45] <xtknight> alienseer23, weird.  do you have any free space?
[04:45] <eck> Arafangion: you want  network-manager-vpnc
[04:45] <xtknight> alienseer23, and where are you now?
[04:45] <aldin> lisapc: right clicke on it and type in eth0
[04:45] <alienseer23> xtknight: yes, perhaps it is a permissions issue?
[04:45] <hendaus> aldin,  one friend told me about devede, how can i installed it on dapper,coz it works on edgy
[04:45] <Arafangion> E: Couldn't find package network-manager-vpnc
[04:45] <alienseer23> xtknight: on a different computer
[04:45] <hendaus> with edgy
[04:46] <aldin> hendaus: are u on dapper
[04:46] <hendaus> aldin,  yes
[04:46] <xtknight> alienseer23, what are the permissions on /tmp.  mine are drwxrwxrwt  22 root root  4096 2007-03-10 22:43 tmp
[04:46] <aldin> hendaus: is it possibel to get to edgy or feisty?
[04:46] <aldin> hendaus: that would be the best
[04:47] <aldin> hendaus: dapper got "old" a bit
[04:47] <lisapc> aldin, i can chose eth0. shall I?
[04:47] <aldin> lisapc: go for it
[04:47] <hendaus> aldin,  but how i dont know how to update to edgy can u help me
[04:47] <lisapc> bruenig,  im getting a popup message in ubuntu saying Netowekr Connection: Lo.  i can change it to eth0 though. what is lo?
[04:47] <xtknight> !upgrade | hendaus
[04:47] <ubotu> hendaus: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[04:47] <lisapc> aldin,  whats lo mean?
[04:47] <eck> Arafangion: i guess it isn't in edgy (i am on feisty)
[04:47] <xtknight> alienseer23, "sudo chmod 7777 /tmp" i believe you need to do after mkaing /tmp
[04:47] <arrenlex> "Strong optimisation may lead to stability problems"
[04:47] <arrenlex> What's the warning to disclaimer ratio in that statement?
[04:47] <xtknight> lisapc,  lo means loopback
[04:47] <eck> Arafangion: you can compile it yourself, i guess
[04:47] <lisapc> xtknight,  cheers
[04:48] <aldin> bruenig: what is this i am bad in "irc" syntax hehe "***bruenig gives aldin the reward for condescending response of the day"
[04:48] <Arafangion> eck: I don't have /usr/include/linux/if_addr.h, so I really need to have a more recent glibc (one that's compiled with the more recent kernel). :(
[04:48] <aldin> can someone be kind to explain me these *** stars
[04:49] <xtknight> aldin, type /me is crazy
[04:49] <StoneNote> when I type /xtknight is crazy nothing happens
[04:50] <xtknight> lol
[04:50] <silvertip257> my desktop will not boot into Ubuntu 6.10, it stops after I see the message about doing a file system check w/ fsck
[04:50] <lisapc> i have a notebook with a Nvidia Go 7300 video card.  How can I get Ubuntu to use this please?
[04:50] <bruenig> !ati | lisapc
[04:50] <ubotu> lisapc: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:50] <xtknight> silvertip257, well is it in the middle of fsck?  maybe wait a bit.  sometimes the progress bar appears on a different terminal, i learned that the hard way the other day.  odd and annoying bug
[04:51] <aldin> ok guys, i have to go to sleep, salut form Bosnia & Herzegovina
[04:51] <xtknight> aldin, bye
[04:51] <lisapc> bruenig,  ty
[04:51] <silvertip257> xtknight:  how long do you think b/c it's really hanging
[04:51] <xtknight> silvertip257, probably not longer than 20 mins
[04:52] <alienseer23> xtknight: I don't know how to get to that info from the console (listing the permissions on a directory)
[04:52] <robbie_crash> I have an issue with a bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo. When I first start up my machine, I have to immideately type something (ie my login) then my keyboard and mouse stop responding until I unplug and replug my bluetooth hub, then they work normally. It seems like I've got about 3 or 4 seconds to type before it stops responding, and if I don't, then it refuses to respond and I need to reboot
[04:52] <bruenig> alienseer23, ls -l
[04:52] <atomiku> back
[04:52] <lisapc> is mplayer best for playing video files?
[04:52] <bruenig> !best
[04:52] <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.
[04:52] <silvertip257> ok thanks xtknight
[04:52] <Chapayev> hi need help with bluetooth modem link - drake to cingular gprs...
[04:52] <atomiku> grub loads fine, but when ubuntu boots it says it cant find /sbin/init ... ive checked this out and /sbin/init is definately there!
[04:52] <lisapc> bruenig,  hehe :) yeah its relative, i know :) sorry for my question
[04:52] <robbie_crash> lisapc: vlc's probably easiest for everything
[04:52] <mbac> is there an open source equivalent of mathematica?
[04:53] <eck> the operative word there being 'usually' -- mplayer is the best :-)
[04:53] <lisapc> robbie_crash,  does VLC support all comoression codecs?
[04:53] <xtknight> atomiku, sorry, short recap?
[04:53] <robbie_crash> como-who?
[04:53] <bruenig> vlc has the most support I have found for formats
[04:53] <atomiku> ?
[04:53] <mbac> (for a scientific with-it research company wolfram research sure picks the wrong software business model)
[04:53] <lisapc> robbie_crash,  compression codecs
[04:53] <bruenig> vlc is the catchall if I can't get something to go in totem
[04:53] <eck> mplayer has support for codecs not in vlc (or did over the summer)
[04:53] <lisapc> bruenig, does vlc install all the codecs too?
[04:53] <Chapayev> anyone have a good bluetooth in ubuntu guide??
[04:53] <bruenig> eck, but the mplayer in the repos doesn't
[04:53] <eck> specifically it had support for AMR before vlc
[04:54] <robbie_crash> I've never come across a codec that vlc couldn't handle
[04:54] <lisapc> eck, how I install mplayer and all codecs?
[04:54] <peepsalot> What do you call the Ctrl-Alt-F1, etc.  those are consoles?  i get so confused with terminology
[04:54] <lisapc> robbie_crash,  if I install VLC. will it also install all codecs?
[04:54] <redDEAD> I've never come across a codec totem couldnt handle once properly configured
[04:54] <xtknight> mbac, "euler" ?
[04:54] <eck> lisapc: just get mplayer and vlc and try them both
[04:54] <crdlb> redDEAD, gstreamer or xine?
[04:54] <eck> lisapc: you can remove one of them later on
[04:54] <lisapc> eck, ok
[04:55] <atomiku> well, heres the error I get when booting ubuntu:
[04:55] <robbie_crash> lisapc: after installing all its dependencies I don't think I've had to install extra codecs
[04:55] <atomiku> (one sec)
[04:55] <Chapayev> bluetooth w/ ubuntu anyone ??
[04:55] <atomiku>  /sbin/init: 426:cannot open /dev/console: No such file Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
[04:55] <peepsalot> does someone know how to change the bell in a console?
[04:55] <atomiku> something like that
[04:55] <redDEAD> crdlb,  gstreamer
[04:55] <robbie_crash> but redDEAD has a point, if you take the time, any program will work
[04:55] <ray_> i have a big question for someone... my hard drive is showing the incorrect size :( any way to fix it?
[04:55] <lisapc> will sudo apt-get upgrade place ubuntu to update?
[04:55] <Madpilot> ubotu, bluetooth | Chapayev
[04:55] <ubotu> Chapayev: For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[04:55] <lisapc> robbie_crash,  sounds good
[04:56] <redDEAD> robbie_crash, or use automatrix to add media codecs. no work at all
[04:56] <crdlb> ray_, how incorrect? slightly off or really off?
[04:56] <xtknight> mbac, sorry had a crash.  did "euler" do what you want?
[04:56] <eck> peepsalot: i think it depends what console you are using
[04:56] <robbie_crash> redDEAD: after installing vlc I've had no issues. It plays everything I tell it to,
[04:56] <ray_> really off... it's supposed to be 61.5 GB and instead it's showing as 31.5 GB
[04:56] <alienseer23> xtknight: d-wx--x--x
[04:57] <ray_> i'm looking at it in gparted right now
[04:57] <atomiku> i get this error when trynig to boot ubuntu: /sbin/init: 426:cannot open /dev/console: No such file Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
[04:57] <crdlb> ray_, it shows up a 31.5 in gparted?
[04:57] <peepsalot> ah, i found the page i was looking for: http://lists.netisland.net/archives/plug/plug-2003-06/msg00244.html
[04:57] <crdlb> as*
[04:57] <peepsalot> to change system bell
[04:57] <ray_> yes
[04:57] <atomiku> how can i fix this? something is seriously wrong, /sbin/init is definately therwe
[04:57] <xtknight> alienseer23, alright it needs to be drwxrwxrwt
[04:57] <xtknight> anyone know what drwxrwxrwt  is in octal
[04:57] <xtknight> 7777?
[04:58] <redDEAD> robbie_crash, vlc is great
[04:58] <lisapc> is there a file manager for ubuntu?
[04:58] <xtknight> how do you find octal permissions instead of the adfdassfa nonsense with ls -l?
[04:58] <ray_> crdlb, would you like the shortened version of what's all happened up to now?
[04:58] <eck> lisapc: it's called nautilus
[04:58] <orange__> !samba | curdie
[04:58] <ubotu> curdie: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[04:58] <Arafangion> xtknight: Use the new-style permissions.
[04:58] <Arafangion> xtknight: More flexible :)
[04:58] <lisapc> eck does it come preinstalled?
[04:58] <Arafangion> xtknight: See man chmod
[04:58] <eck> lisapc: yes, of course :-)
[04:58] <atomiku> is there a log of error message received when bootnig ubuntu?
[04:58] <lisapc> eck,  where? :)
[04:58] <lisapc> cant see it anywhere
[04:58] <xtknight> meh its just frustrating
[04:58] <ray_> i don't know if it would help solve the problem knowing the history
[04:59] <eck> lisapc: it's integrated with gnome -- if you click the places thign and open a place it will launch nautilus
[04:59] <crdlb> ray_, I have no idea why that would happen unless it's some kind of bug
[04:59] <lisapc> i installed ubuntu with OEM as username.  can I delete that and change it?
[04:59] <ray_> crdlb, that's why i think some history might be good to know
[05:00] <ray_> :)
[05:00] <crdlb> maybe
[05:00] <xtknight> alienseer23, sudo chmod a+drwxt /tmp    i think
[05:00] <xtknight> alienseer23, or something like that
[05:00] <alienseer23> k
[05:00] <alienseer23> brb
[05:00] <xtknight> hold up
[05:00] <alienseer23> !
[05:00] <xtknight> that doesn't work
[05:00] <alienseer23> ok
[05:00] <ray_> it's been my 2nd hard drive in ubuntu for over a year and i decided i'd try dual booting on my newer computer that runs windows
[05:01] <ray_> i put it in that computer and even though the bios didn't see it, i went ahead and installed linux, but it never installed grub
[05:02] <ray_> i realized i forgot the jumpers on the back so i put those in and the bios saw it and windows did too
[05:02] <xtknight> how do i find out the octal permissions of a file??
[05:02] <Chapayev> how do i put in the code to authorize a bluetooth pairing ???
[05:02] <atomiku> i get this error when trynig to boot ubuntu: /sbin/init: 426:cannot open /dev/console: No such file Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
[05:02] <Uff1> Hey, anyone got some spare time for a newbie like me?
[05:02] <ray_> that's where it went bad.... i couldn't even install ubuntu anymore. the cd kept freezing
[05:02] <Chapayev> or is there a file that it goes in?
[05:03] <tonyyarusso> Uff1: just ask your question and see
[05:03] <ray_> and then it began showing a capacity of 31.5 GB
[05:03] <pavs> whats the latest kernel version?
[05:03] <hendaus_> back
[05:03] <crdlb> ray_, I think you hitting the 65,536 cylinder barrier: http://www.pcguide.com/ref/hdd/bios/sizeGB315-c.html
[05:03] <ray_> even now that it's back on my ubuntu computer, it's wrong
[05:03] <flafla> hey guys, ALSA is choppy in gstreamer-properties,  has anyone ever encountered this issue?
[05:03] <Dr_willis> xtknight,  check out   http://catcode.com/teachmod/
[05:03] <flafla> also the sound is choppy in general for flash media.
[05:03] <Imsdle> I have no harddisk space at all and can't login
[05:03] <xtknight> alienseer23, sudo chmod 1777 /tmp
[05:04] <xtknight> alienseer23, that's it
[05:04] <flafla> also the sound is choppy/clicky in general for flash media.
[05:04] <xtknight> and to find out octal perms do stat /file
[05:04] <Uff1> Ok, I wonder how to change screen "update frequency(hm, don't know the word)", as I can only get 60hz.
[05:04] <xtknight> Uff1, vertical frequency or refresh rate is the correct term actually.  crt or lcd?
[05:04] <Uff1> Screen update frequency, that is.
[05:04] <alienseer23> xtknight: that will give the "sticky" T as well?
[05:04] <Uff1> CRT.
[05:04] <xtknight> alienseer23, well that's what my /tmp is
[05:04] <Chapayev> need a bluetooth gprs wiki
[05:04] <Imsdle> how do I delete a really big directory
[05:04] <alienseer23> ok
[05:04] <xtknight> Imsdle, sudo rm -rf /path/to/directory
[05:05] <xtknight> Dr_willis, thanks
[05:05] <pavs> whats the latest kernel version?
[05:05] <Hydr0p0nX> anyone have any problems getting vnc to work in
[05:05] <Hydr0p0nX> 6.10 ?
[05:05] <ray_> crdlb, would that really be a problem if the main hard drive is 70 GB?
[05:05] <flafla> hey guys, ALSA is choppy in gstreamer-properties,  has anyone ever encountered this issue?
[05:05] <liquidicecube> pavs: www.kernel.org
[05:05] <crdlb> Imsdle, don't use sudo unless it's outside your home directory (to minimize the chance of accidents)
[05:06] <Uff1> xtknight: CRT.
[05:06] <crdlb> ray_, if not that's quite a coincidence
[05:06] <xtknight> Uff1, hmm.  try this link
[05:06] <xtknight> !fixres | Uff1

[05:07] <tecky> is there any ftpd for the desktop install ?
[05:07] <xtknight> Uff1, if it was an LCD, i would have said keep it at 60 Hz as LCDs don't like >60Hz and it's worthless for them.
[05:07] <alienseer23> xtknight: Thank you! now onto getting a linksys wireless notebook adapter wpc54gr to work
[05:07] <xtknight> alienseer23, so gnome logs in now?
[05:07] <alienseer23> xtknight: yes, perfect
[05:07] <Dr_willis> i think some of the newer lcds can go over 60Hz
[05:07] <pavs> it says the latest stable kernel is 2.6.20.2 why is my kernel in ubuntu 2.6.17.11-generic? isnt it supposed to update automatically? what am i missing
[05:07] <tecky> Is there any ftpd for the desktop install ??
[05:08] <crdlb> ray_, a little googling indicates it may be a problem with your jumper settings (no more detail than that)
[05:08] <kaz> hey, can someone help me with getting a hp cd-writer plus cd-rw drive to work in ubuntu?
[05:08] <weijie902> tecky, you want a ftp client?
[05:08] <Dr_willis> pavs,  that is the latest kernel included in edgyeft.
[05:08] <ray_> crdlb, wait... i don't understand. if the bios on the windows computer can handle a 70 GB hd, why wouldn't it work with a 61.5 GB?
[05:08] <tecky> weijie902, ftpd (DAEMON)
[05:08] <weijie902> tecky, sorry
[05:08] <tecky> np ;)
[05:08] <Uff1> Hm, ok. Thanks xtknight, I'll be back if I encounter any problems :)
[05:08] <tecky> just trying to get this setup
[05:08] <tecky> ;\
[05:08] <liquidicecube> tecky: try vsftpd
[05:09] <ray_> crdlb, so if the jumpers are set correctly, the size will show correctly?
[05:09] <pavs> br_willis i thought everytime there is a new kernle release it is ussually updated by all/most of the distros
[05:09] <tonyyarusso> tecky: I also use vsftpd
[05:09] <tecky> liquidicecube, how do i install this ... i'm a slackware convert ... so i'm used to having full root access to my machine.
[05:09] <Dr_willis> pavs,  pavs  nope.
[05:09] <crdlb> ray_, that what the internet seems to think
[05:09] <liquidicecube> tecky: apt-get install vsftpd
[05:09] <Uff1> Oh wait, xtknight, you dodn't give me a link?
[05:09] <Madpilot> pavs, Ubuntu only updates security items after releases, as a general rule
[05:09] <liquidicecube> tecky: who says you can't have "full root access" to your machine ?
[05:09] <tecky> ahh ok .. so apt-get does  work ... i dont have to use that shitty install app :)
[05:09] <Dr_willis> pavs,  ubuntu tends to rely on a 6 mo release cycle. theres some kernel updates but unless some big secuity issue pops up. they dont try to stay up to date with the daily releases..
[05:10] <Uff1> didn't*
[05:10] <xtknight> Uff1, ubotu did
[05:10] <xtknight> !fixres | Uff1

[05:10] <Madpilot> tecky, apt-get & aptitude both work - and synaptic is just a GUI frontend for apt
[05:10] <pavs> dr_willis & madpilot thanks for the info i didnt know.
[05:10] <Imsdle> what is the other option to rsync.. one that creates versions
[05:10] <Uff1> Oh! I see. Thanks. :)
[05:11] <Imsdle> thanks xt knight btw
[05:11] <pavs> any GUI frontend for rsync?
[05:11] <ray_> do Sectors have anything to do with hard drive capacity?
[05:12] <Dr_willis> ray_,  in one way or another.. yes. :) but i havent had to woprry about sectors and stuff in YEARS on hard drives
[05:13] <crdlb> ray_, according to wiki, there are usually 512b in a sector
[05:13] <tecky> Madpilot, ahh ... i was under the impression i had to use that crappy app that comes on the menu ... add/install software or something like that
[05:13] <tecky> (shrug)
[05:13] <xtknight> any way to adjust cluster size of ext3?
[05:13] <ray_> can i calculate hard drive capacity from sectors?
[05:13] <Madpilot> tecky, nope. that's just another front-end. Personally, I use synaptic most of the time, and aptitude if I happen to already be using the terminal
[05:14] <robbie_crash> I have an issue with a bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo. When I first start up my machine, I have to immideately type something (ie my login) then my keyboard and mouse stop responding until I unplug and replug my bluetooth hub, then they work normally. It seems like I've got about 3 or 4 seconds to type before it stops responding, and if I don't, then it refuses to respond and I need to reboot
[05:14] <tecky> ahh ... more of a apt-* person myself
[05:14] <tecky> ran command line for many years ;)
[05:14] <Dr_willis> xtknight,  not after its been formated i think..    man mkfs.ext3   perhaps.
[05:14] <infidel> how do i know what my boot partitian equals? ie... splashimage=(hd1,0)
[05:15] <ray_> 66043215 (sectors) / 512 (bytes)... is that right?
[05:15] <blackest> .where would i find .jar files in ubuntu i need to add some extra libs
[05:15] <Frogzoo> infidel: 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/hda' and subtract one
[05:16] <tecky> blackest, locate *.jar ?
[05:16] <Dr_willis> blackest,  try 'sudo updatedb' then 'locate .jar'
[05:16] <xtknight> Dr_willis, ah, any way to find out cluster size?
[05:17] <silvertip257> xtknight:  thanks - your advice helped out, I let it boot up and left it for 10 min or so and it did its job - Ubuntu is back up & running!!!
[05:17] <infidel> Frogzoo, ok, thanks
[05:17] <xtknight> silvertip257, ahh good
[05:17] <silvertip257> ah the joys of technology eh?
[05:17] <xtknight> the joys of...poorly written fsck progress bars
[05:18] <silvertip257> lol got me xtknight
[05:18] <xtknight> sure is a fscking pain!
[05:18] <xtknight> :P
[05:18] <analyzer> hello
[05:18] <ray_> 66043215 (sectors) / 512 (bytes)... is that right? does anyone know if that's the right way to figure out hard drive capacity?
[05:18] <silvertip257> i'm happy dont ruin my fun
[05:18] <silvertip257> LOL
[05:18] <silvertip257> ** i mean HAHHA
[05:18] <silvertip257> au revoir
[05:18] <xtknight> ray_, erm no idea heh...any problem with "df -h" lol
[05:18] <Tonren> Any caveats I should know about before partitioning an external hard drive so that it's part FAT32, part ext3?
[05:19] <xtknight> Tonren, don't think so
[05:19] <Tonren> ray_: Just use the -h switch on whatever comand line prog you're using
[05:19] <suterfugio> How do I download coolgb when I have xwinwrap
[05:19] <Tonren> xtknight: Sweet.  I want to be able to back up my home directory with rsync -avz
[05:19] <kaz> how can i find out what device 'hdc' refers to?
[05:19] <xtknight> Tonren, a PC and its partition table knows no different an internal from an external disk.  or even a usb key.
[05:19] <ray_> Tonren, no command line program. i'm looking at gparted
[05:20] <blackest> tecky the locate command is only finding jar files in my home dir i need to add some to the sun jdk
[05:20] <suterfugio>  How do I download coolgb when I have xwinwra
[05:20] <Tonren> xtknight: Yeah, I was jus twondering if it meant that KDE would stop auto-mounting it or something
[05:20] <ray_> i'm having issues with incorrect hard drive size, so i'm just trying other options, like calculating size using Sectors
[05:20] <ray_> ...if that's even possible
[05:20] <Tonren> ray_: Ahh.  Can't help you out then... sorry
[05:21] <Arafangion> ray_: What size does your bios report it to be?
[05:21] <Tonren> Does KDE play nice with gparted?
[05:21] <xtknight> kaz, it is the third IDE disk.  HD means hard disk and the a-z after it indicates your ide disk (hda=primary,hdb=slave is channel 1, hdc=primary,hdd=slave is channel 2)
[05:21] <razorbuzz> Hopefully a simple install question I just haven't been able to find an answer to:  Is it possible to install Ubuntu (such as the Feisty testing) to another partition without rebooting, installing, etc.  ie:  When installing Gentoo to another partition you can do it through a chroot/fakeroot environment in terminal and get everything completely setup..then you just reboot and choose Gentoo from GRUB.  Is it possible to install Ubunt
[05:21] <razorbuzz> u in a similar manner?
[05:21] <freakman> has anyone here been able to install ubuntu on a mac pro?
[05:21] <ray_> i don't know how to get to bios with linux
[05:21] <Arafangion> ray_: I know that linux doesn't use the bios per se, but I've had issues (different issues, actually), when the bios thought it was one size, and the OS thought it was another.
[05:21] <tecky> blackest, then you need to 'sudo updatedb' && 'locate *.jar'
[05:21] <jake222> Hi  i am trying to set up dual monitors
[05:21] <tecky> w/o the '
[05:21] <lisapc> when I play mpeg files using mplayer, the files play! but when i play WMV files, i hear sound but no video!  any advice?
[05:21] <Arafangion> ray_: Usually you press F1 at reboot...
[05:21] <jake222>  with 2 different x servers
[05:21] <tecky> blackest, type this ' sudo updatedb && locate *.jar
[05:21] <bulmer> blacktest do you have sun java installed?
[05:21] <ray_> i'll try that
[05:21] <kaz> xtknight, is it used to refer to cd-rom drives too?
[05:21] <ray_> Arafangion, thanks
[05:22] <Dr_willis> i dont think ya want a locate *.jar   just locate .jar
[05:22] <suterfugio>  How do I download coolgb when I have xwinwra
[05:22] <xtknight> kaz, yup, whatever is on the IDE channel.  SATA (serial ATA) and SCSI devices appear as /dev/sdx
[05:22] <{NmE}> Can anyone help me mount my NTFS drives in Edgy?
[05:22] <ray_> first, what is F1 do?
[05:22] <weijie902> {NmE}, ok
[05:22] <xtknight> Tonren, kde should automount two paritions when u plug in the ext HD now
[05:22] <Dr_willis> suterfugio,  i dont think that made any sence to anyone.
[05:22] <xtknight> Tonren, as far as i know
[05:22] <xurps> comes python with UBUNTU?
[05:22] <xtknight> Tonren, and it's impossible for kde and gparted not to play nice...they're like completely diff things :P
[05:22] <{NmE}> Weigi, want to priv chat? or no?
[05:22] <cycro> how do i make currently running apps appear in the tray?
[05:23] <weijie902> {NmE}, go to http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#Windows
[05:23] <makuseru> how can i strip the audio off an AVI?
[05:23] <Tonren> xtknight: well, gparted didn't work.  I'll use qparted
[05:23] <suterfugio> Can you explain me how to use coolbg
[05:23] <ThePlaneskeeper> Just so all ya know- if you download the cluster program in ubuntu add/remove utility, it will lock up your computer as it loads Grub
[05:23] <xtknight> Tonren, why didn't gparted work?
[05:23] <weijie902> {NmE}, sure private chat
[05:23] <xtknight> qtparted actually for the kde version
[05:23] <mike930> can someone help me configure my rt61 wireless card setup script at start up? for some reason it wont load all my iwconfig commands in init.d/rt61up
[05:23] <blackest> tecky thanks i guess that will take a while
[05:23] <Tonren> xtknight: I have no idea; it just froze on "Analyzing all devices"
[05:23] <jake222> Can anyone help?
[05:24] <Dr_willis> !ingo coolbg
[05:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ingo coolbg - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:24] <tecky> its updating your local database search file ... then will search the file for the locations of *.jar files
[05:24] <Dr_willis> !info coolbg
[05:24] <ubotu> Package coolbg does not exist in edgy, edgy-backports, edgy-seveas
[05:24] <xtknight> Tonren, ah, rather common problem
[05:24] <xurps> can I run python using UBUNTU?
[05:24] <Dr_willis> suterfugio,  never heard of it..
[05:24] <Tonren> xtknight: What causes it?
[05:24] <lisapc> when I play mpeg files using mplayer, the files play! but when i play WMV files, i hear sound but no video!  any advice?  pls?
[05:24] <xtknight> Tonren, that i dont know...i just haer about that a lot
[05:24] <{NmE}> awww I have to reg 1st, weigie902
[05:24] <analyzer> hello all
[05:24] <Tonren> xtknight: Lame, heh
[05:24] <weijie902> {NmE}, you there?
[05:24] <lisapc> .clear
[05:24] <{NmE}> Yes
[05:25] <mike930> anyone know anything about rt61 cards?
[05:25] <weijie902> {NmE}, i made a private chat
[05:25] <Tonren> Oh dear... qtparted appears to be freezing.
[05:25] <weijie902> {NmE}, or just read http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#Windows
[05:25] <makuseru> how can i strip the audio off an AVI?
[05:25] <bulmer> mike930: did you try to get it working manually first before using init.d?
[05:25] <ant> Tonren : what are you trying to do?
[05:25] <{NmE}> Yeah, ill read and let you know if i need more help
[05:25] <analyzer> can anyone tell me... if i will install ubuntu then will i get system where i dont need to compile each application to install it?
[05:26] <{NmE}> Thanks for the url though!!! hope it works!! >.<!!
[05:26] <weijie902> {NmE}, it should
[05:26] <mike930> bulmer: yeah it works fine, but when I start up it wont load
[05:26] <analyzer> will bin packages optimized for athlon-xp?
[05:26] <{NmE}> kk. thanks again.. ill let you know if i run into any problems.
[05:26] <Tonren> ant: All I did was "kdesu qtparted" and click on /dev/sda1.  I want to repartition my external HD so that it's 55GB FAT32 and 5GB ext3 so I can backup my home directory with rsync -avz
[05:26] <ant> Tonren : have you tried a non-gui partitioner?
[05:26] <bulmer> mike930: what do you mean when you start up? manually?
[05:27] <Tonren> ant: No, because they terrify me.  I mean, they literally terrify me.  I get the shakes every time I start to use one.
[05:27] <xtknight> Tonren, is any of the data on the ext HD right now important?
[05:27] <cycro> what good alternatives to kiba-dock are there?
[05:27] <Tonren> xtknight: Yes, rather.
[05:27] <bulmer> Tonren: fat32 has limits you're exceeding it with 55GB
[05:27] <xtknight> eh?
[05:27] <ant> Tonren : heh, understandable, but obviously if you read a little about fdisk, its really easy to use.
[05:27] <mike930> bulmer: when I start up I want it to automatically load up the card and connect to the router. When I start up though, when I iwconfig none of the setting are stored
[05:27] <ant> !fdisk | Tonren
[05:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fdisk - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:28] <Tonren> bulmer: What?!  Why would Western Digital ship a 60GB external hard drive that's FAT32 if FAT32 can't have that much?!
[05:28] <xtknight> Tonren, the HD itself is not fat32
[05:28] <flafla> I want to add a new sound card to my machine.  How easy will the process be?  will Ubuntu automatically recognise the new hardware?
[05:28] <makuseru> isnt fdist windows
[05:28] <makuseru> fdisk*
[05:28] <xtknight> Tonren, it's a big blob of zeroes.  fat32 is something that fills some of those zeros.  so is ntfs and ext3
[05:28] <ant> its multi-platform
[05:28] <makuseru> flafla: yes
[05:28] <flafla> makuseru great,  thanks
[05:28] <xtknight> fat32 doesn't go beyond 32gigs, correct?
[05:28] <bulmer> Tonren umm will i dont know why they ship it like so, but i suspect you are coming across the limit problem
[05:28] <Tonren> xtknight: But they had to ship it with a file system, and the fs they shipped it with was Fat32.
[05:29] <flafla> what about surround sound.  how easy is it to set up surround sound?
[05:29] <makuseru> flafla: no prob
[05:29] <xtknight> Tonren, HDs don't ship with a file system afaik
[05:29] <JordiGH> Can the Ubuntu installer encrypt partitions?
[05:29] <makuseru> flafla: mine was easy
[05:29] <Tonren> xtknight: External ones do.
[05:29] <Uff2> Hi again, I have a question: Many guides tell me to edit my "xorg.conf"-file. However, it can't be done. Overwriting disabled...(Can't think of the right expression, too tired.)
[05:29] <Uff2> So, how do I change this?
[05:29] <Tonren> xtknight: It's an external USB HD.
[05:29] <xtknight> Tonren, well i guess that wasn't a smart idea
[05:29] <flafla> makuseru:  is there a site that describes how to do it?
[05:29] <Tonren> xtknight: WD did it, not me.
[05:29] <bulmer> mike930: your settings are not stored? check your script carefully
[05:29] <Tonren> xtknight: And it's been working 100% fine.
[05:30] <Tonren> !sudo | Uff2
[05:30] <ubotu> Uff2: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[05:30] <makuseru> flafla: one mine all i had to do was plug it up, and any file was was surround played surround
[05:30] <lachlan> Does anyone know why ubuntu would be not recognising and cd's/dvd's i put in the drive?
[05:30] <ant> Uff2 : are you getting permission denied?
[05:30] <mike930> bulmer: everything in the script seems to be ok, it was all copied and pasted into the startup script
[05:30] <TuTUx> come on, everybody take a look at this  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ViKhwdXmmE
[05:31] <bullgard1> What are the names of the executable files of the program package usbutils?
[05:31] <xtknight> Tonren, never mind, max for fat32 is 2 terabytes
[05:31] <bulmer> mike930: you can have your script debug but putting a -x option on your script at the top
[05:31] <xtknight> Tonren, we were mistaken
[05:31] <cafuego_> dpkg -L usbutils | grep bin
[05:31] <weijie902> {NmE}, did it work?
[05:31] <xtknight> Tonren, it was fat 16 that had a 2 gig limit
[05:31] <Uff2> ant: I can't save it...
[05:31] <Uff2> xknight: That link won't helpme at all, been using ubuntu for like 3 hours. :/
[05:32] <weijie902> {NmE}, i gtg, so if it didnt pls ask around
[05:32] <makuseru> i think you got the max for ONE file on fat 32 mixed up with total size
[05:32] <{NmE}> ok, thank you
[05:32] <mike930> bulmer: what will that do during start up? will it just step through it like normal code debug?
[05:32] <makuseru> cause i think 55 is about the max for one file on fat32
[05:32] <cafuego_> fat32 maxes out at 2GB for a single file.
[05:32] <ant> Uff2 : use sudo in front of your command to do that
[05:32] <xtknight> max for one file on fat32 is 4G
[05:32] <Tonren> I thought that sounded kind of ridiculous
[05:32] <makuseru> really?
[05:32] <makuseru> its THAT small?
[05:32] <xtknight> yea
[05:32] <cafuego_> Oh that's right, 2GB is HFS :-)
[05:32] <makuseru> wow, thought it was bigger than that
[05:33] <bulmer> mike930: yeah, i hope so..but you can test it without rebooting, go to single user and back to multi-user
[05:33] <ant> Uff2 : "sudo gedit xorg.conf"
[05:33] <Tonren> Of course, this begs the question: Why is qtparted crashing when I click on /dev/sda1?
[05:33] <xtknight> Uff2, well i don't know...im about to go to sleep and a tired me paired with an ubuntu n00b don't bode well together :P
[05:33] <cafuego_> makuseru: Yes, just big enough to not fit a DVD iso.
[05:33] <makuseru> haha
[05:33] <xtknight> Uff2, fortunately there are other people kinder than myself willing to help so i suggest you heed to their advice
[05:33] <mike930> bulmer: what do you mean?
[05:33] <mIRCTRUser-366> hey all any one know how to restore backup file, i have a gzip file; when i extract it, it gives me single text based huge file... it includes everything 'bout my server.. but i need to see folder by folder as tar mode
[05:33] <mIRCTRUser-366> ?
[05:33] <Uff2> ant: I am editing xorg.conf in the text editor "gedit", and I can't click save...I have no idea what command I should use for saving, hehe.
[05:34] <bulmer> mike930: you can always test your script ..run it manually
[05:34] <ant> Uff2 : type "sudo gedit xorg.conf"
[05:34] <cafuego_> mIRCTRUser-366: don't gunzip it, untar it. 'tar xfz <file.tar.gz>'
[05:34] <Uff2> xtknight: Don't worry, thanks for the help :)
[05:34] <Uff2> Thanks ant!
[05:34] <ant> Uff2 : use "sudo" in front of your command to get permission.
[05:34] <xtknight> Uff2, as for the save thing you need to use "gksudo gedit xorg.conf" to get permission
[05:34] <Tonren> Can anyone give me a hint here?  Why would qtparted crash when I click on my external HD?
[05:34] <bulmer> mike930: as in /etc/init.d/rt61 restart or start..assuming you follow the chkconfig format..
[05:34] <xtknight> gksu/gksudo for gtk apps to avoid a couple issues.  sudo for command line.
[05:35] <xtknight> Tonren, run "gksu gparted" from a terminal then report what happens in the terminal during the freeze
[05:35] <ant> Uff2 : xtknight is right. but despite that sudo works fine.
[05:35] <xtknight> i never did know the diff between gksudo/sudo but i've always been taught to use gksudo
[05:35] <Tonren> xtknight: k, I'll be using "kdesu" though, I'm in KDE
[05:35] <lachlan> xtknight: i finally managed to get ubuntu working! thanks for all your help:)
[05:36] <xtknight> Tonren, gotcha.
[05:36] <Tonren> xtknight: Absolutely nothing happens in the terminal
[05:36] <xtknight> Tonren, actually gksu still for gtk apps regardless of if you're running KDE
[05:36] <Tonren> xtknight: The "Getting info about partitoin /dev/sda" popup appears, at 50%, and nothing happens
[05:36] <K`zan> My ability to use USB devices seems to have ended as of today?!?  I can run stuff that needs USB as root (gtkam in this case) but not as myself, what does one have to do to be able to access USB stuff, there is no group USB !?!?  TIA!
[05:36] <mike930> bulmer: when I run it it goes through the script ending with dhclient ra0, seems to be running normal when I run it
[05:37] <moforila> Hi, xubuntu has problems with my lcd or graphics card, even in safe graphics mode, what can i do?
[05:37] <Tonren> xtknight: Same result with gksu
[05:37] <xtknight> how do i control mounting parameters of a usb stick that's automatically mounted?  it appears in mtab but not fstab
[05:37] <h3h_timo> hey guys, i reallly effed up my xserver, i used this guide: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_Internet_Explorer_.2B_Flash_9_.28IEs4Linux.29 to install internet explorer, and afterwards i rebooted to find a broken xserver, i know that i accidentaly ran the actually ./ies4linux as root, which was what broke it, anyone have any suggestions?
[05:37] <ant> moforila : what card do you got?
[05:37] <xtknight> internet explorer under linux?  ughhhh
[05:37] <xtknight> sorry :P
[05:37] <moforila> ant. 6600GT works fine with knoppix, i think its the lcd
[05:38] <xtknight> Tonren, sorry, i really don't know
[05:38] <h3h_timo> xtknight, i dont even know why i did it, i think i was bored, but anyway, it messed up my xserver some how
[05:38] <orange_> can someone help me edit my smb.conf file
[05:38] <orange_> or link me to a guide
[05:38] <ant> moforila : thats nvidia no?
[05:38] <orange_> cant seem to find one that goes into detail
[05:38] <xtknight> h3h_timo, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:38] <moforila> ant, yes
[05:38] <Tonren> xtknight: This is confusing... I have a /dev/sda and a /dev/sda1
[05:38] <ant> !nvidia | moforila
[05:38] <ubotu> moforila: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:38] <bulmer> mike930: put a comment to spit it out to the /var/log/messages so you know your script runs right?
[05:38] <moforila> ant, i have all the settings used by freebsd and knoppix for xorg
[05:39] <h3h_timo> xtknight, i tried, whenever i try to log from gdm an error message pops up saying that access is denied
[05:39] <mIRCTRUser-366> hey
[05:39] <xtknight> Tonren, /dev/sda is the hard drive.  sda1 is the FAT32 (i assume) partition you've already got on there
[05:39] <Tonren> xtknight: Ahhhhh.  I see.
[05:39] <mIRCTRUser-366> there is backup in my server, is it possible to restore just some files?
[05:39] <moforila> thanks
[05:39] <ant> moforila : i would install the nvidia propriety drivers for ubuntu
[05:40] <xtknight> h3h_timo, i dont know why it would mess your x server up.  well do you have a /tmp folder?  im looking at the script now, that's all i see that could have gone wrong
[05:40] <bulmer> mIRCTRUser-366: which command did you use to make the back-ups?
[05:40] <flafla> is it just me or is a lot of people having sound crackling problems recently?
[05:40] <con-man> !botabuse | ubotu
[05:40] <ubotu> ubotu: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[05:40] <con-man> lololol
[05:40] <mIRCTRUser-366> bulmer,  dump
[05:40] <mike930> bulmer: i don't need to do that, because when it runs through it comes back saying the process id already exist...
[05:40] <h3h_timo> xtknight, so what do you suggest i do?
[05:40] <matthew1429> has anyone successfully setup an internet radio stream ripper in ubuntu?  I'm having all sorts of issues using VLC
[05:40] <h3h_timo> xtknight, im in windows right now, how can i see my linux filesystem? i never installed the drivers
[05:40] <xtknight> h3h_timo, check if you have a /tmp folder and check the permissions on it
[05:40] <xtknight> h3h_timo, um, install explore2fs
[05:41] <flafla> is it just me or is a lot of people having sound crackling problems recently?
[05:41] <bulmer> mIRCTRUser-366: umm i dont think you can easily tell dump/restore to pick and choose only specific dirs or files..but im not 100% sure of the options
[05:41] <h3h_timo> xtknight, isnt there a driver for the filesystem that is built right into windows??
[05:42] <xtknight> h3h_timo, for ext2?  no.  but there is an external IFS file system driver you can get to read ext2 and ext3, somewhere off sourceforge
[05:42] <Dr_willis> !ext3
[05:42] <ubotu> ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org
[05:42] <bulmer> mike930: dont forget that the other network related scripts may already be running dhcpclient..
[05:42] <Ashbringer> Hey, does anyone know the status on the stability of the broadcom 4311 chipset with bcm43xx?
[05:42] <mike930> bulmer: can i put them in the network/interface would it run?
[05:42] <h3h_timo> xtknight, alright how can i check permissions from that, or can i?
[05:43] <xtknight> h3h_timo, uhhhh i can't remember.  maybe right click on the /tmp folder
[05:43] <bulmer> mike930: sure try it, thats the way its supposed to be anyways,
[05:43] <ant> Ashbringer : i am looking for the same thing at the moment
[05:43] <ant> !broadcom
[05:43] <wiseelben> anyone here own a zen vision:m?
[05:43] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:43] <arfy> Hi there. A friend and I are trying to install ubuntu on an acer laptop with an AMD64. 1. Is it ok to run the x86 32-bit on this system? Also, we tried the modifcation of xorg.conf, changing driver "ati" to driver "vesa" and get an error about the X server confiuration failing. any suggestions here?
[05:43] <xtknight> for bcm43xx you need to cut firmware from the windows drivers
[05:43] <bullgard1> cafuego_: The dpkg command you suggested works great. Thank you.
[05:43] <h3h_timo> xtknight, alright i right clicked it
[05:43] <xtknight> h3h_timo, erm properties?  anywhere does it say permissions for /tmp?
[05:44] <Tonren> Gah... I'm trying to get something done with a command line partition editor, but I can't figur eanything out
[05:44] <Tonren> Why is qtparted crashing and freezing when I select /dev/sda?!
[05:44] <xtknight> h3h_timo, really all i wonder is if /tmp even exists
[05:44] <Ashbringer> I know I need to cut firmware, but the bcm43xx driver is listed as "unstable" for the 4311 chipset. Are there any changes in that?
[05:44] <h3h_timo> xtknight, yeah tmp is there
[05:44] <h3h_timo> there is an attributes
[05:44] <guma> any one familiar with svn? Where do you add default svn+ssh://username@host on client side so I do not have to type it everytime
[05:44] <alienseer23> can anyone tell me where the network configuration file is located?
[05:45] <xtknight> Ashbringer, hrm sorry i have no idea.  kernel 2.6.20.2 was just released the other day though.  you might search the kernel mailing lists.  all i know is that i got bcm43xx working on one of my laptops but i dont think it was a 4311
[05:45] <xtknight> h3h_timo, sorry i have absolutely no idea why it screwed up your gdm
[05:45] <K`zan> What does one do about this folks: An error occurred in the io-library ('Could not claim the USB device'
[05:45] <ant> xtknight : was it a pain?
[05:45] <bulmer> alienseer23: umm you tried /etc/network/interfaces ?
[05:45] <h3h_timo> xtknight, there is a box that says user and has read, execute, write, and suid in it, and there is a group and other box with the same controls contained in them
[05:45] <mike930> bulmer: thanks, I'm going to restart and try it now
[05:45] <h3h_timo> xtknight, i can get to my gdm
[05:46] <h3h_timo> usually whenever i screw up my xorg it wont even show that
[05:46] <xtknight> ant, sort of.  bcm43xx kernel driver worked but i had to use fwcutter to grab firmware out.  after that (i think you put it in /lib/firmware) it worked pretty well
[05:46] <h3h_timo> xtknight, is there a way to create a new user?? and try to log on with that
[05:46] <xtknight> h3h_timo, yes actually
[05:46] <colbert> Are there themes for XChat ??
[05:46] <Tonren> How do I shrink a partition's size with a command line utility?
[05:46] <ant> xtknight : thanks for the general direction
[05:46] <xtknight> h3h_timo, sudo adduser newusername --home=/home/newusername
[05:47] <xtknight> Tonren, you could try just "parted" which is better than fdisk and cfdisk imo
[05:47] <xtknight> don't ask me how to use it though :O
[05:47] <Tonren> xtknight: How do you - gah..
[05:47] <h3h_timo> xtknight, u think that could work
[05:47] <xtknight> h3h_timo, yup it may very well
[05:48] <loiic> Hi there
[05:48] <Tonren> xtknight: It seems like there's something WRONG with my external.  If I try to "check" it in parted, parted freezes
[05:48] <Tonren> What the crap is going on!?!!
[05:48] <h3h_timo> xtknight, if it doesnt do you have any other suggestions?
[05:48] <xtknight> h3h_timo, well what is the exact error?
[05:48] <loiic> can't figure out why the umask applied to file transfered by scp on my ubuntu server is 0077 whereas it should be 0022
[05:48] <K`zan> Thanks anyhow folks.
[05:48] <xtknight> Tonren, only file system on the external is vfat (fat32) right?
[05:49] <xtknight> loiic, inverse octal permissions
[05:49] <loiic> is that a default behavior in ubuntu or i messed up in some configuration file
[05:49] <Tonren> xtknight: yeah
[05:49] <xtknight> loiic, 7777-0077 = 0022
[05:49] <h3h_timo> xtknight, i didnt write down what it does, but i can get to my login screen, everything appears to be working ,i can even select to boot into a safe gnome session, but whenever i log in it gives me an error, says some kind of permission is denied and kicks me out
[05:49] <xtknight> loiic, chmod uses octal, umask uses inverse octal
[05:49] <loiic> you got me wrong xtknight, i know how it works
[05:49] <high-freq> um i'm on wireless and i don't see my signal meter anymore...i'm on the router and it says signal 0...is there a fix for this to reget my signal meter working
[05:50] <loiic> just cant figure out why it is this umask that is applied to my files whereas the umask is set to 0022 on the entire system
[05:50] <xtknight> Tonren, unmount the drive (sudo umount /dev/hda1)
[05:50] <mintsoup> why isn't the default python package in ubuntu the most recent one?
[05:51] <S0crates> Does anyone know if and when Anjuta 2.1.1 will be in the Ubuntu Repositories?
[05:51] <Tonren> xtknight: /dev/hda1 is my actual HD... do you mean /dev/sda1?
[05:51] <makuseru> how can i strip the audio off an AVI?
[05:51] <xtknight> Tonren, sorry, yeah
[05:51] <h3h_timo> xtknight, did you get that looonggg message?
[05:51] <Tonren> xtknight: I tried that before... even unmounted, nothing works. EVerything freezes
[05:51] <loiic> sshd conf on my ubuntu and on my debian servers are the same, that's why i dont understand this difference is behavior
[05:52] <xtknight> h3h_timo, hrm yeah just busy sec
[05:52] <loiic> s/is/in/
[05:52] <xtknight> Tonren, after unmount do "sudo fsck.vfat -a /dev/sda1"
[05:52] <h3h_timo> xtknight, i noticed i have time
[05:52] <Tonren> xtknight: What does that do?
[05:52] <xtknight> h3h_timo, i was going to suggest maybe you have no free space.  or xsessions is messed, or /home has wrong permissions.  other than that i dont know.  a new user may work
[05:53] <xtknight> Tonren, performs fsck (file system check) on /dev/sda1 with the "automatic fix" option
[05:53] <ant> !fsck
[05:53] <ubotu> fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot
[05:53] <h3h_timo> xtknight, ill try it, thanks
[05:53] <{NmE}> yippie! I got my drives mounted.. now i want to listen to my music.. Can someone point me in the right direction to get .mp3s working? Also, what is a good media player to use? (I hate Itune-esk players. Looking for something like Winamp)
[05:54] <ant> !codecs
[05:54] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[05:54] <Tonren> xtknight: I'm gonna run it without -a, I don't want to do anything without knowing what's happening
[05:54] <{NmE}> Well, all my music is already in mp3.. or else i WOULD :(
[05:54] <Tonren> xtknight: "There are differences between boot sector and its backup."
[05:55] <Tonren> xtknight: I hit "No action" so I can see what else is up.  Right now it's hanging...
[05:55] <Tonren> xtknight: How long should this take on about 45GB?
[05:55] <xtknight> Tonren, alright i suppose doing it without -a was a good idea
[05:56] <xtknight> Tonren, the boot sector thing is a tad odd
[05:56] <Tonren> xtknight: Yeah, when I used "cfdisk" it said that the "bootable" flag was set, which it doesn't need to be
[05:56] <xtknight> Tonren, but that can be solved using the program "testdisk" if there are serious problems.  if it mounts i doubt there's a bad problem
[05:56] <Tonren> xtknight: No other information yet... fsck is still hanging
[05:56] <xtknight> you can activate the fsck progres bar if you want
[05:56] <xtknight> let me get the cmd
[05:57] <Tonren> xtknight: S'ok, it finished
[05:57] <Tonren> xtknight: No errors
[05:57] <xtknight> kill -USR1 "pid of fsck" to activate fsck progress bar
[05:57] <xtknight> for further ref
[05:57] <Tonren> xtknight: Still doesn't explain why qtparted and gparted freeze.
[05:57] <Tonren> xtknight: AND parted.
[05:57] <{NmE}> So what does everyone use for listening to music?? Looking to find something like winamp.. Very simple and easy to look at.
[05:58] <Tonren> {NmE}: Try amaroK or Rhythmbox or MPD/MPC
[05:58] <FunnyLookinHat> {NmE}, xmms = winamp clone... but I liek banshee, it's a lot like itunes but runs fast
[05:58] <xtknight> Tonren, well try "fsck.vfat -v /dev/sda1"  -v means verbose, more output
[05:58] <lachlan> xtknight: do you know why my CD/DVD writer would be unable to recognise CD's and DVD's?
[05:58] <xtknight> Tonren, sudo actually
[05:58] <xtknight> lachlan, erm not particularly
[05:59] <{NmE}> Funnylookinhat, thanks, but I like winamp!  (xmms.. THATS what it was.. was using ubuntu a few versions ago and had one that i liked .. THANKS!)
[05:59] <xtknight> lachlan, what do you mean exactly?  it can see the burner but it has no feeling of what media is inside and refuses to burn?
[05:59] <xtknight> {NmE}, check out Audacious too for a gnome verrsion of xmms
[05:59] <FunnyLookinHat> {NmE}, lol no worries  : )
[06:00] <{NmE}> xtknight, is it in the package manager? or do i have to google it?
[06:00] <Tonren> xtknight: sudo kill -USR1 `pgrep fsck` actually kills fsck.  :\
[06:00] <Tonren> xtknight: Also, no new information with -v
[06:00] <xtknight> hmm
[06:00] <lachlan> when i put a cd in the drive, and then go to computer and click "CD ROM 1" it says "Unable to mount the selected volume"
[06:00] <JordiGH> Can the Ubuntu installer encrypt partitions?
[06:00] <Tonren> xtknight: Should I let it fix the boot thingummy?
[06:00] <{NmE}> funnylookinhat, yeah, i just dont like iTunes that much.. I already have my music organized.. so i dont need to to do it for me!
[06:00] <xtknight> {NmE}, it's in the package manager for Feisty, i dont know about Edgy
[06:00] <tonyyarusso> JordiGH: not yet.  soon.
[06:00] <xtknight> Tonren, yeah
[06:01] <Tonren> xtknight: I'm copying original to backup
[06:01] <JordiGH> tonyyarusso: Thanks.
[06:01] <xtknight> Tonren, original what?
[06:01] <xtknight> Tonren, oh i gotcha
[06:01] <xtknight> Tonren, original MBR to backup mbr..
[06:01] <xtknight> boot record, rather
[06:01] <Cookie> hello?
[06:01] <{NmE}> xtknight, ok.. thanks, ill check
[06:01] <Tonren> xtknight: I hope I'm not breaking everything
[06:01] <lachlan> xtknight: when i put a cd in the drive, and then go to computer and click "CD ROM 1" it says "Unable to mount the selected volume"
[06:01] <xtknight> Tonren, as long as you can mount it, that's what you should be doing.  original->backup
[06:02] <Cookie> need someone help with ubuntu if anyone could help :D
[06:02] <xtknight> !ask | Cookie
[06:02] <Tonren> !ask | Cookie

[06:02] <Cookie> lmao
[06:02] <Cookie> ok
[06:02] <infidel> where would i point my splash screen to if this is where my /boot partition? /dev/hda1 on /boot
[06:02] <Phatrabbi1> how can i get ubuntu to reinstall my sound drivers automatically ?
[06:02] <Tonren> "point your splash screen to?"
[06:03] <xtknight> lachlan, odd.  does it happen with every cd?
[06:03] <xtknight> Tonren, well is it done copying original->backup bootrecord?
[06:03] <lachlan> so far it has happened to a dvd, data cd, album and to the disc that came with the rom
[06:03] <hajiki> hey how do i make  hidden files or folders visible forever?
[06:03] <Tonren> xtknight: Yeah.  Still no other changes or errors
[06:03] <Phatrabbi1> how can i get ubuntu to reinstall my sound drivers automatically ?
[06:04] <Cookie> I just downloaded Ubuntu today, and I burned it to a disc using Infra. So, my problem is when I boot it from the cd it runs awhile on the loading screen but after awhile it goes all black and it locks up.
[06:04] <lachlan> although i didn relaise expect the last of those to work
[06:04] <lachlan> really*
[06:04] <Enkidu1016> i forgot the other channel that has the howto's for beryl
[06:04] <Tonren> xtknight: parted is STILL freezing when I "select /dev/sda" "check 1"
[06:04] <xtknight> Tonren, guess it's only e2fsck that responds to USR1 and shows a progress bar
[06:04] <xtknight> Tonren, but anyway
[06:05] <Tonren> xtknight: yeah only extfs supports progress bar
[06:05] <lachlan> xtknight: so far it has happened to a dvd, data cd, album and to the disc that came with the rom
[06:05] <ant> Enkidu1016 : #ubuntu-effects
[06:05] <xtknight> lachlan, weird.  bout bed time for me though
[06:05] <Enkidu1016> ant: thanks
[06:05] <Tonren> xtknight: I'm about ready to give up... I just have no idea why qtparted and gparted keep freezing.
[06:05] <ant> :)
[06:05] <makuseru> how can i strip the audio off an AVI?
[06:05] <Cookie> lol no one knows my problem
[06:05] <RYUTAZA> Hello all
[06:05] <Phatrabbi1> how can i get ubuntu to reinstall my sound drivers automatically ?
[06:06] <lachlan> xtknight: thats a shame. well, good(k)night;)
[06:06] <xtknight> lachlan,  yeah cya i may be on tomorrow
[06:06] <xtknight> Tonren, i dont know either.
[06:06] <lachlan> ok, thanks
[06:06] <Tonren> Can anyone tell me why qtparted would freeze on "gathering info about device /dev/sda1" (my external HD) when I click on it?
[06:06] <ant> Cookie : when does it go black?
[06:06] <xtknight> Tonren, all i can suggest is the parted resize command.  it takes megabytes as a parameter i think so it doens't soudn too bad
[06:06] <ArtVandalae> Tonren, try run it as root
[06:06] <ant> Cookie : is it just after the splash screen?
[06:07] <Cookie> you know when it says Ubuntu and it shows it loading up the OS?
[06:07] <Cookie> yeah
[06:07] <Cookie> ant: yeah
[06:07] <Tonren> ArtVandalae: I have been

[06:08] <ant> Cookie : if you have problems after, come back..

[06:09] <GionnyBoss> how can I change screen resolution on the fly on Ubuntu Edgy?
[06:09] <xtknight> Tonren, what about the gparted livecd?  i don't suppose it supports external HDs though?
[06:09] <buddy> can I use compiz with my ati xpress 200 on board in a ecs motherboard?
[06:09] <xtknight> GionnyBoss, ctrl alt plus and ctrl alt minus, or system->preferences->Screen res
[06:09] <Tonren> xtknight: Probably not
[06:10] <ant> buddy : #ubuntu-effects
[06:10] <GionnyBoss> I have only one screen resolution in Screen Resolution
[06:10] <makuseru> how can i strip the audio off an AVI?
[06:11] <HHornblower> Hi, all. I'm having a lot of problems with wireless internet. I have a gateway laptop and I'm using Fiesty Fawn. The FAQ's for the Broadcom didn't work. I did get one of my USB adapters to work, but it stopped after rebooting.
[06:11] <Tonren> Uggh... this is awful
[06:11] <HHornblower> it could still be seen, identified, scan for networks, FIND them... even got an IP ady.
[06:11] <ArtVandalae> HHornblower, Feisty isn't even out yet :\
[06:11] <HHornblower> *addy.
[06:11] <Cookie> ant: that site you just gave me, do you have to be in ubuntu to install?
[06:11] <HHornblower> ?? ok.
[06:11] <GionnyBoss> the point is that I installed 915resolution to resolve the problem of a bug of the Intel graphic chipset I have, so I can use my laptop native screen resolution. But when I connect an extern monitor I get problems if monitor supports only a lower resolution.
[06:11] <HHornblower> I'm being an idiot then. Version is 7.04
[06:12] <ArtVandalae> HHornblower, no I mean it's out. But it's only alpha
[06:12] <makuseru> GionnyBoss: change it in your xorg
[06:12] <ArtVandalae> HHornblower, do you have any previous linux/ubuntu experience?
[06:12] <Johno> does ubuntu support dial up?
[06:12] <makuseru> HHornblower. try #ubuntu+1
[06:12] <ant> Cookie : what you do is when grub loads choose the recovery kernel, you will get a command prompt. work from there
[06:12] <HHornblower> ArtVandalae: OK. It's also the best version that supports my hardware.
[06:12] <ant> Cookie : what card do you have?
[06:12] <dimeotane> anyone tried nubuntu? is it any good?
[06:12] <HHornblower> ArtVandalae: Yes, quite a bit with Gentoo and Slackware.
[06:12] <GionnyBoss> makuseru, should I include all the resolution I want the have in xorg.conf? But then will this 915resolution work? Now I setted 640x480 and with this 915resolution it uses 1440x900 ...
[06:12] <Chicory> I'm getting errors about not being able to lock my .Xauthority file.
[06:12] <Chicory> Has it been corrupted in some way?
[06:12] <Cookie> ant: radeon 9550 going to upgrade soon when i get more money
[06:13] <ant> dimeotane : i have and yes its nice for its purpose, but i could not install to hd.. grub error.
[06:13] <ArtVandalae> dimeotane, nubuntu is mainly used for network security, you don't use it as a desktop machine :D
[06:13] <Johno> is dial up available?
[06:13] <Cookie> ant: so it should support it
[06:13] <Cookie> brb
[06:13] <nigra> hi all
[06:13] <ant> Cookie : it should.. do this.
[06:13] <Chicory> But why?  :s
[06:13] <ray_> if i put a URL in here, will someone be able to tell me if the jumpers i'm looking at are the right kind to buy for my hard drive?
[06:13] <Cookie> back
[06:14] <makuseru> GionnyBoss: when i used the 845G chipset i just did "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and chose my resolution when it asked
[06:14] <nigra> FEISTY USERS: could you please have a look at : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/90531
[06:14] <xtknight> Tonren, actually gparted livecd is linux kernel, it may support your usb ext HD

[06:14] <makuseru> nigra: try ubuntu+1
[06:14] <Tonren> xtknight: That's cool, but why would the one I downloaded be any different?
[06:14] <ray_> there's the URL
[06:14] <ant> Cookie : after you get to the command prompt type "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list"
[06:14] <colbert> Does Conky work with Beryl ??
[06:14] <Tonren> Can anyone tell me why Gparted would hang on "scanning all devices" wheN Ihave an external USB drive hooked up?
[06:14] <nigra> makuseru: #feisty? right
[06:14] <Comrade-Sergei> how do i copy a file in terminal to another dir?
[06:14] <xtknight> Tonren, what do you mean?  have you tried the livecd yet?
[06:14] <Cookie> ant: ok
[06:15] <makuseru> nigra: i just said #ubuntu+1
[06:15] <ant> Cookie : uncomment the first two lines with only a single #
[06:15] <GionnyBoss> makuseru, but then you have to restart xorg? I would like to change resolution on the fly just when I connect an extern monitor. Isn't there an Intel graphic utility with more options or something like that to install?
[06:15] <Chicory> Is there anyway to repair an xauth file?
[06:15] <dimeotane> ant, ArtVandalae:  how do you know that a security distro hasn't been 'compromised' ?  I trust ubuntu cause it's the most popular.. but a variation could be hacked couldnt' it?
[06:15] <nigra> makuseru: ok
[06:15] <ant> Cookie : they are universe repositories.
[06:15] <nigra> makuseru: thanks
[06:15] <Chicory> Should I generate a new .Xauthority file, or is it just being stupid?
[06:15] <ray_> i just want to know if those jumpers will work with my desktop hard drive
[06:15] <HHornblower> ArtVandalae: ubuntu+1?
[06:15] <xtknight> Tonren, livecd is a single unit that can be 100% tested.  it may have less bugs, etc.  less problems due to kernel variations and what not. it's a more controlled system with the gparted livecd vs running gparted on any old unix system
[06:15] <ammiel> !chroot
[06:15] <ubotu> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box
[06:15] <makuseru> GionnyBoss: i dunno, never was able to using intel chipset
[06:15] <Johno> dial up work in ubuntu?

[06:17] <xtknight> Tonren, yes you have to reboot to use the gparted livecd
[06:17] <xtknight> you have to boot off it
[06:18] <Tonren> xtknight: Don't worry dude.  gparted works
[06:18] <Tonren> xtknight: It just took 5 minutes (literally) to scan devices
[06:18] <xtknight> Tonren, eh?
[06:18] <ant> makuseru : not that
[06:18] <Tonren> xtknight: It's working.  gparted is working.

[06:25] <jimd3299> hi there, is there a way in Gaim or in this irc channel to disable the announcements of people joining/leaving?
[06:25] <jbwan> should be in your settings

[06:26] <jbwan> or type /quit
[06:26] <ant> Cookie : dont reboot until all that is done.
[06:26] <Daverocks> Cookie: no need to reboot after that, just restart X (log out and in)
[06:26] <Tonren> Oh god
[06:26] <Tonren> I'm terrified.  This is awful
[06:26] <Tonren> This is the worst thing ever
[06:26] <Jake> Still NO one IS helping Me

[06:27] <Daverocks> ant: ah, lol
[06:27] <Tonren> I'm resizing the partition on my external HD with a bunch of important info on it, so I can add an ext3 FS partition, but on "Applying pending operations" it's just sitting there

[06:27] <Flannel> !patience | Jake
[06:27] <ubotu> Jake: The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines

[06:27] <Flannel> !repeat | Jake
[06:27] <ubotu> Jake: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[06:27] <omeil> Cookie: when done installing ctrl-alt-backspace, then log in
[06:27] <Tonren> Just sitting there.. nothing is happening... no progress, no changes...
[06:27] <cafuego_> Jake: You can purchase support from Canonical if you find the channel unhelpful.
[06:27] <Daverocks> Jake: ubuntu forums tend to be really good
[06:27] <Tonren> I can't cancel because it might ruin the external HD, but it's giving absolutely no indication of doing anything but sit there.
[06:27] <{NmE}> Jake, this is ALSO the best freaken support you will ever get.. better then what comes out of redmond...
[06:27] <Jake> i have a post up
[06:27] <Tonren> This is awful.  I am terrified.
[06:27] <Daverocks> Tonren: gparted?
[06:27] <Flannel> jimd3299: there is.  I have no idea how to do it, but yes.  Ignoring joins/parts can be done
[06:28] <ant> Cookie : did you get any of that?
[06:28] <Tonren> Daverocks: Indeed.
[06:28] <Jake> NME: can you support me?
[06:28] <PanzerMKZ> so I am a noob have installed dapper server and was wondering if there
[06:28] <jbwan> ubuntu doesn't have Open SSH or VNC server included in its packages?
[06:28] <Tonren> Daverocks: It successfully checked the filesystem, but now it's just sitting there with "resize partition and filesystem using libparted"
[06:28] <PanzerMKZ> where good cli howto
[06:28] <Flannel> PanzerMKZ: this is i
[06:28] <Daverocks> Tonren: i assume you've tried to expand all sub arrow menu things? ;P
[06:28] <eck> jbwan: they are not installed by default
[06:28] <Flannel> PanzerMKZ: it, the help channel, that is.
[06:29] <Tonren> Daverocks: It took gparted 5 minutes just to startup.  I don't know why it hung for so long, but maybe that's what it's doing now.
[06:29] <Edin> can someone help me install winetools
[06:29] <Jake> east

[06:29] <Tonren> Daverocks: Yes.  It is currently working on "resize partition and filesystem using libparted".  That's the step it's on, in "Applying pending operations."
[06:29] <PanzerMKZ> well I have the boox up and I am just wondering where to go from here
[06:29] <Tonren> Daverocks: It just isn't doing anything.  This is awful.  What could it be doing?  the status light on the HD is shimmering, which suggests that SOMETHING is happening, but I have no idea what that could be.
[06:29] <Jake> Edin: sudo apt-get search <winetools>
[06:30] <eck> jbwan: then install sshd?
[06:30] <Jake> Edin: or go into the repositorys and look it up
[06:30] <jbwan> eck: I didn't see them in the package manager either
[06:30] <Daverocks> Tonren: you said you were resizing a "partition" so you could add a ext3 one. what fs is this partition you're resizing using?
[06:30] <eck> the package is openssh-server
[06:30] <jbwan> ah
[06:30] <Tonren> Daverocks: vfat (fat32)
[06:30] <jbwan> danke
[06:30] <qwewqe> im using totem xine but get divx codec error when attempting to play avi filed any ideas
[06:30] <jbwan> brb
[06:30] <Edin> annyone?
[06:30] <Flannel> Edin: wine tools?
[06:31] <Edin> yes
[06:31] <Daverocks> Tonren: should be quick. gparted scans the available HDs when it starts up, so the startup slowness may be due to a hard drive being slow...?
[06:31] <ant> Edin : there are dedicated channels for wine
[06:31] <makuseru> how can i strip the audio off an AVI?
[06:31] <zntneo> hey everyone i'm having trouble with my webcam
[06:31] <Tonren> Daverocks: I don't know, but it ended up starting, anyway
[06:31] <zntneo> i've looked at the doc on webcam and it says it can't find my webcam
[06:31] <Tonren> Daverocks: But it's been hanging on the "resize partition" step for over 5 minutes now
[06:31] <Tonren> Daverocks: There's been no change at all.  It's just sitting there.  I have no idea what it's doing, or what I should do.
[06:31] <Edin> yes...
[06:31] <Tonren> Should I cancel and pray it doesn't harm my data?  Should I wait?  How long?  5 minutes?  5 hours?
[06:32] <Edin> that channel is extremely lively
[06:32] <Edin> ...
[06:32] <Daverocks> Tonren: wait a bit longer than 5 minutes. how big is this fat32 partition?
[06:32] <Edin> i lied
[06:32] <Tonren> Daverocks: It's big!  It's 56GB.
[06:32] <omeil> Unknown command: '/usr/local/games/Savage' ? thats what i get when i try to start savage
[06:32] <Wuilliam> hi to all, i have an EM64T i will to install ubuntu 6.10 32bit, all goes good, but when install finished and need to restart, i do it, and select ubuntu in grub, but the ubuntu never runs, the loading bar never do anything, i dont know why it happened, some1 hace the same problem? i speack english BAD :(
[06:32] <Tonren> Daverocks: But it didn't take as long to resize my (internal) 80GB partition when I first installed Ubuntu.
[06:32] <Daverocks> Tonren: yeah, especially with fat32 which fragments, it's probably normal for resizing a 56 GB partition to take at least 5 minutes
[06:32] <Tonren> Daverocks: And it's not even changing the progress bars.  It's just sitting there.
[06:32] <Daverocks> Tonren: which was also fat32?
[06:33] <eck> Wuilliam: did you get a grub error code?
[06:33] <Tonren> Daverocks: yes
[06:33] <Tonren> Daverocks: Then again, I defragged before I went through with it the first time
[06:33] <zntneo> anyone know what this means? "FATAL: Error inserting ov511 (/lib/modules/2.6.17-11-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/ov511/ov511.ko): Operation not permitted
[06:33] <zntneo> "
[06:33] <Daverocks> Tonren: yes, and there was less data
[06:33] <Tonren> Daverocks: Not too much less.
[06:33] <Daverocks> Tonren: hmm.
[06:33] <PanzerMKZ> so how do you defrag a drive in ubuntu?
[06:33] <Tonren> Daverocks: This external has never been defragged, though
[06:33] <zntneo> anyone?
[06:33] <eck> PanzerMKZ: you can't (and don't need to)
[06:33] <Tonren> Daverocks: PanzerMKZ: Yeah, how the hell DO you defrag a FAT32 volume in Ubuntu?
[06:33] <Wuilliam> eck no, because, it no show any problem, grub is good, but i choose another destop, ex ctrl+alt+F1 and shows "Staring Up..." and never runs
[06:34] <{NmE}> Is anyone knowladgable on dual screens here?
[06:34] <eck> Tonren: you boot into windows :-)
[06:34] <Wuilliam> eck no problems, no code, freezed :(
[06:34] <Tonren> Daverocks: Still absolutely no change.
[06:34] <Tonren> eck: I got rid of Windows four months ago.  :\
[06:34] <emet> whats a decent flowcharting app for GTK+
[06:34] <Daverocks> Tonren: fsck.vfat ? (for defragging fat32)
[06:34] <Jake_> Hey all, How do i setup dual monitors (hdtv 1080i, and lcd) to both run on seperate x servers
[06:34] <eck> Wuilliam: did you try the rescue mode?
[06:34] <zntneo> anyone wanna help me with setting up my webcam???
[06:34] <Tonren> Daverocks: Ahh, that'd do it then, I guess
[06:34] <eck> Tonren: then what are you using fat for?
[06:34] <Wuilliam> eck yeah, is exactly the same thing, never runs
[06:34] <eck> i don't know, there probably is a fat defrag tool
[06:34] <Tonren> Daverocks: I'm pretty sure I ran that on my external before I partitioned though
[06:34] <Daverocks> Tonren: you might need to give it the right options, because i think by default, it formats or something
[06:34] <Tonren> eck: I share an external with my fiancee
[06:35] <Wuilliam> eck Starting Up... and no run th OS
[06:35] <eck> ah
[06:35] <Tonren> Daverocks: Still no change.  Should I cancel or leave it overnight?  I have to go to bed
[06:35] <Tonren> Daverocks: This is horrible, dude.  I am white with terror.  I don't want to lose my data.
[06:35] <eck> Wuilliam: i am not sure what the problem could be -- perhaps it is a hardware issue?
[06:36] <Wuilliam> eck i try whit the Alternative, and Desktop CD and nothing, the CD-Live never runs :( is the same problem
[06:36] <Tonren> Daverocks: gparted is using 7.9% of my RAM
[06:36] <Tonren> WHAT IS IT DOING?!
[06:36] <Wuilliam> but the 64bit ubuntu isntall good
[06:36] <eck> Tonren: run it in strace :-)
[06:36] <emet> hax0ring your comp
[06:36] <Tonren> eck: What's strace?
[06:36] <emet> whats a decent flowcharting app for GTK+?
[06:36] <Daverocks> eck: he can't do it if it's ALREADY RUNNING
[06:36] <Tonren> Daverocks: Help me.  I think I'm about to have a heart attack.
[06:36] <eck> well then i guess you just have to cross your fingers
[06:37] <Daverocks> eck: if he's going to run it in strace he's going to have to cancel his current operation
[06:37] <Daverocks> Tonren: did you say the HD light was flashing?
[06:37] <Hydr0p0nX> can someone send paste a correct gdm.conf?
[06:37] <jbwan> ahhhhhhh  ssh
[06:37] <Tonren> Daverocks: Yeah
[06:37] <Daverocks> Tonren: heh...
[06:37] <Tonren> Daverocks: What.. what?!
[06:37] <Daverocks> Tonren: i wouldn't want to be in your situation
[06:37] <nexousNET> When is PHP 5.2.1 going to be added to REPOS?
[06:37] <Tonren> Daverocks: I'm cancelling it.  This is crazy.  It's just sitting there.
[06:37] <Tonren> Here goes...
[06:37] <Daverocks> Tonren: um
[06:37] <Daverocks> wait
[06:37] <Tonren> What?
[06:38] <Tonren> It could be erasing more of my data EVERY SECOND, dude!!!
[06:38] <eck> nexousNET: it is in feisty
[06:38] <Daverocks> Tonren: maybe you should leave it on overnight, i think this is normal
[06:38] <zntneo> wtf does device not accepting address mean?
[06:38] <zntneo> anyone?
[06:38] <Wuilliam> eck i dont know, but my 64bit cd make a good instalation, but i cant to install my SOund Card, Video Card, and many more things, i need a lot of appz to work good, but in 64 architecture i cant
[06:38] <Tonren> Daverocks: Y - you do?  Why?
[06:38] <Daverocks> Tonren: i don't think it's erasing your data if anything
[06:38] <nexousNET> eck: can I upgrade directly from 6.10 to feisty?
[06:38] <Tonren> Daverocks: The progress bars STILL haven't even BUDGED.
[06:38] <eck> nexousNET: you can, but you are recommended to wait until feisty is stable, especially if you are upgrading for just one package
[06:38] <Tonren> ARRRRRGH.
[06:38] <Daverocks> Tonren: ok, but i don't think that means it's erasing or damaging anything
[06:39] <cables> Wuilliam, there aren't many 64-bit drivers out there for Linux, and sometimes even Windows.
[06:39] <eck> nexousNET: if you just want a later version of php you ought to compile it
[06:39] <Tonren> Daverocks: Well... I mean... okay, I guess.
[06:39] <makuseru> how can i change the Default TCP Receive Window (RWIN) value?
[06:39] <nexousNET> eck: I tried compling but had trouble.
[06:39] <Tonren> Daverocks: I guess I'll leave it overnight.
[06:39] <jbwan> so my dilemma here
[06:39] <Daverocks> Tonren: good to be on the safe side
[06:39] <eck> Wuilliam: if you get no error output then i'm not sure how to troubleshoot the problem
[06:39] <zntneo> can anyone help with this???? http://www.pastebin.ca/390159
[06:39] <jbwan> is I have a 300GB hd
[06:39] <Tonren> I'm going to have nightmares about bad sectors and corrupted data

[06:39] <jbwan> that fdisk sees
[06:39] <Daverocks> lol
[06:39] <jbwan> that was formatted with an NTFS partition

[06:40] <nexousNET> Actually, I really need to do a complete removal of apache,mysql, php, etc
[06:40] <Tonren> Daverocks: Okey doke... I"m off to bed.  Thanks for tryin to help out.  G'night
[06:40] <jin> sorri to ask again but is it possible to run compiz/beryl with unichrome pro IGP?
[06:40] <Daverocks> Tonren: np, gnight
[06:40] <zntneo> anyone?
[06:40] <eck> nexousNET: try 'apt-get build-dep php5' to pull in the build dependencies and then compile it
[06:40] <Wuilliam> eck yeah i know, but the system shows anything, only "Starting Up..." no more, :S i dont know, and google are not my friend (today)
[06:40] <ant> Tonren : if that doesn't work look at a program called "Bootng"
[06:40] <jbwan> and it shows no partition
[06:40] <ant> bah
[06:40] <jbwan> so I create one
[06:40] <nexousNET> eck: okay, I will do that once I get this settled.
[06:40] <zntneo> can anyone help me with this http://www.pastebin.ca/390159?
[06:41] <jbwan> and now /dev/hdb1 shows /dev/hdb1p1
[06:41] <jbwan> I can change the partition type to Linux
[06:41] <jbwan> but when I go to write the table I get this:
[06:41] <zntneo> no one?
[06:42] <jbwan> Re-reading the partition table failed with error 22: Invalid argument
[06:42] <Wuilliam> :'(
[06:42] <jbwan> the kernel will still use the old table
[06:42] <jbwan> the new table will be used at next reboot
[06:42] <jbwan> syncing disks
[06:42] <jake222> Hey all, How do i setup dual monitors (hdtv 1080i, and lcd) to both run on seperate x servers

[06:42] <timstokman> hey, I am trying to enable desktop effects in feisty fawn but the menu item isn't there, how can I enable it with the cli or how can I add the menu item manually?

[06:43] <jbwan> and the drive doesn't recognize
[06:43] <timstokman> 5
[06:43] <jbwan> what gives?
[06:43] <bullgard1> Why considers Ubuntu it necessary to have a link /usr/bin/lsusb to /usr/sbin/lsusb?
[06:43] <cables> timstokman, are you sure? It's there for me... I'm not sure what command it runs because I'm not using it right now.
[06:43] <cables> timstokman, you might have more luck in #ubuntu+1
[06:44] <timstokman> cables, i upgraded by changing repos, maybe it kept my old items
[06:44] <jbwan> jake222: just get a 27" HD LCD, that's what I do and it works fine :)
[06:44] <timstokman> cables, could you check what program the menu item launches @ your pc?
[06:44] <cables> timstokman, I'm not running Feisty right now.
[06:45] <cables> timstokman, I have a LiveCD, but that's it.
[06:45] <jbwan> so anyone have any idea about my disk issue?
[06:45] <timstokman> anyone else who can help me here? i'd rather stay with the herd
[06:45] <makuseru> how can i change the Default TCP Receive Window (RWIN) value?
[06:45] <cables> timstokman, ask in #ubuntu+1
[06:45] <PanzerMKZ> makuseru: maybe interfaces?
[06:46] <timstokman> ok, thnx cables
[06:46] <Vince_> Good morning

[06:47] <makuseru> PanzerMKZ: wheres that?

[06:49] <makuseru> PanzerMKZ: ill, check
[06:49] <Em3rald> NickGarvey: okay, I will bring EmeraldMcSquizzy here too and pastebin.
[06:49] <ammiel> anyone know about chroots? if i do a uname -a and it gives out x84_84 (within the chroot) could it still be i386?

[06:50] <NickGarvey> Em3raldMcSquizzy, just do /msg ubotu pastebin
[06:50] <nexousNET> I have to have a .so file for a boot image, how do I create the .SO file though?
[06:50] <gmedina> how can i see if my rc.local is working?
[06:51] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> NickGarvey: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9777/
[06:51] <nexousNET> Nevermind.
[06:51] <Vince_> I've tried installing everything from Breazy forward
[06:51] <kidbuntu> !nvidia
[06:51] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:51] <Vince_> The newest version tells me that it cannot load tty which apparently is a known bug
[06:51] <zombieninja666> fuckit
[06:51] <NickGarvey> Em3raldMcSquizzy, and does the server know what aoi-studio is?
[06:52] <dimeotane> I see source code for the 2.6.17 kernel out there...  can I use it to upgrade edgy to a newer kernel?  Or would it be so unstable I'd regret it?
[06:52] <Vince_> Dapper says it can't mount the CD even though I can boot from it
[06:52] <Vince_> and if I install brezzy  It gets to the point where I can enter a password for my account but then it won't go past that and it just keeps asking me to set the password.
[06:52] <gmedina> how can i see if my rc.local is working? It is not executing my script at boot time.
[06:52] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> NickGarvey: it's in /etc/hosts as :  192.168.2.33 aoi-studio
[06:53] <NickGarvey> Em3raldMcSquizzy, I thought you were on a 192.168.0 network, not a 192.168.2
[06:53] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> NickGarvey: Ahah, now this is the issue I was wondering about, but no one really knew the answer.  The thing is, I have the client on a wireless router which is connected to a LAN port on a wired router which connects the Host.
[06:54] <NickGarvey> yikes
[06:54] <Vince_> Anyone?
[06:54] <PanzerMKZ> that sounds like the router is
[06:54] <NickGarvey> Vince_, what chipset is your motherboard?
[06:54] <gmedina> no one??
[06:54] <PanzerMKZ> is making new network
[06:54] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> NickGarvey: its cuz I have too many computers, and only one computer is wireless way out in the studio.
[06:54] <Vince_> NForce 2 I belive
[06:54] <clouder`grr> Quick question, why does $ uptime show 3 users and $ users show two clouders? Why are there two of me and where is this 3rd user?
[06:54] <NickGarvey> Vince_, I had that problem, it was a chipset problem that worked with edgy and up
[06:55] <Vince_> I'm confused, I thought Edgy was the unstable branch
[06:55] <NickGarvey> Vince_, nope, not anymore
[06:55] <NickGarvey> Em3raldMcSquizzy, woo.. try using just the ip address in the /etc/exports..
[06:55] <NickGarvey> Em3raldMcSquizzy, although I am not sure if that will help..
[06:55] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> NickGarvey:  Tried that orignally, didn't make a diff.
[06:56] <NickGarvey> Em3raldMcSquizzy, ports 721 and 2049 are fowarded?
[06:56] <Vince_> Well which problum.  I've tried 3 different versions and gotten 3 different problums
[06:56] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> NickGarvey: not 721
[06:56] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> jussasec
[06:56] <NickGarvey> Em3raldMcSquizzy, try that one too
[06:56] <gmedina> Hey, could someone help me????
[06:57] <gmedina> how can i see if my rc.local is working? It is not executing my script at boot time.
[06:57] <PanzerMKZ> is your script working
[06:57] <PanzerMKZ> ?
[06:57] <eck> gmedina: i would just add a line to touch a file
[06:57] <eck> that would be an easy test
[06:57] <pavs> is there realpleyer for linux?
[06:58] <cables> pavs, yep
[06:58] <Cowfrommars> anybody know if geforce fx 5200 have problems with ubuntu?

[06:58] <Em3rald> NickGarvey: nope, still same problem.  I am thinking perhaps I have to suppress the dhcp on the wireless and force it to have .0.* IPs
[06:58] <pavs> cables tnx
[06:58] <jbwan> so... will mkfs.ext3 make this jacked up partition readable by Ubuntu?
[06:58] <Vince_> Does anybody have a possibly solution?
[06:59] <|Jason8|> hey guys
[06:59] <PanzerMKZ> Em3rald: what you trying to do if you don't mind me asking?
[06:59] <|Jason8|> the ubuntu CD doesn't work for me.  the splash screen pops up, but the menu doesn't show.  It's a desktop CD of dapper
[06:59] <Cowfrommars> Anybody know why I can't boot into linux when i click 'Install' but it works on 'graphics safe' mode or whatever?
[06:59] <|Jason8|> any idea why that would happen?
[06:59] <Moonshine>  Could anyone help me follow the instructions I was given here? http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=381215
[06:59] <|Jason8|> my keyboard is totally locked, too
[06:59] <Cowfrommars> My screen just shows like  colours
[07:00] <gmedina> it is just a line to call tomcat script (/home/user/apache-tomcat/bin/startup.sh
[07:00] <kidbuntu> how do i see my linux image that i'm using?
[07:00] <K3nto> Cowfrommars: have you installed beryl by chance?
[07:00] <eck> kidbuntu: you mean what kenel you are running?
[07:00] <gmedina> does it make verbose?

[07:01] <eck> the uname command will work
[07:01] <Em3rald> PanzerMKZ: share a folder on a computer with another computer on my LAN which is on a wireless router thru the other router.
[07:01] <mistone> haha lol
[07:01] <enderxim> does it make sense to upgrade to the newest linux kernel in edgy? or should i just wait for feisty for that?
[07:01] <|Jason8|> haha, I got ubuntu to work... :)
[07:01] <K3nto> nice
[07:01] <PanzerMKZ> Em3rald: yea sounds like just dump the routing on the router
[07:01] <PanzerMKZ> and kill dhcp
[07:01] <PanzerMKZ> what kind of router?
[07:02] <Em3rald> PanzerMKZ: the only thing is that I am not really 100% sure how.  It's an SMC
[07:02] <NickGarvey> enderxim, do you have a need for the newest kernel?
[07:02] <eck> enderxim: is there a feature that you need in the latest kernel?
[07:02] <Feengur> hi all :D
[07:02] <PanzerMKZ> ok so set the router to have a static IP
[07:03] <sjust1216> I have a usb printer cups does not give a usb option and /dev/usblp0 is not created can anyone help
[07:03] <PanzerMKZ> then set static ip on the wireless station
[07:03] <Feengur> sjust, have you tried using a different usb port?
[07:03] <enderxim> Not particularly, I just like to the newest releases of everything. I rarely use the repos, I mostly compile the newest sources of my packages.
[07:03] <sjust1216> yes
[07:03] <NickGarvey> enderxim, hehe you are like me
[07:03] <sjust1216> all four
[07:03] <enderxim> ;-)
[07:04] <gmedina> help please!
[07:04] <Em3rald> PanzerMKZ: okay ... lets give that a go then.  i assume I should give it IPs that reflect the wired router.  I'll give you a status update in a sec.
[07:04] <sjust1216> lsusb shows it connected
[07:04] <cables> !repeat | gmedina

[07:04] <PanzerMKZ> oh yea
[07:04] <eck> enderxim: ifyou are in doubt you can read the kernel changelog
[07:04] <enderxim> eck: thank you. i will do that.
[07:04] <atomiku> When I try and install xchat it says: "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libdbus-1-2" which package should I install first?

[07:05] <Vince_> I'm having problums installing UBUNTU.  I've tried installing Breazy, Dapper, and the current version.
[07:05] <Vince_> If I try to install the newest version, It says that it cannot open the TTY Device which apparently is a known bug.
[07:05] <Vince_> If I try to install Dapper, it tells me that it cannot mount the CD.  Even though its already loaded and running.
[07:05] <Vince_> If I try and install Breazy it installs to the point where it asks me to configure my user account and then all it does is ask me over and over agian and will not progress any further.
[07:05] <Vince_> Can somebody help me get one of these versions installed?  I'd like to end up with Dapper if possible.
[07:05] <Feengur> which model is the printer?
[07:05] <Phatrabbi1> for beryl install on ubuntu it say add key wget http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org/root@lupine.me.uk.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
[07:05] <prevone> Vince_, are you installing from text mode or live cd?
[07:05] <Em3rald> stupid question:  how to set my wireless comp to have a static IP?  I have set the wireless router to have a static IP of 192.168.0.104
[07:05] <omeil> can someone help we me with running savage???????
[07:06] <Phatrabbi1> do i just add that to gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:06] <enderxim> atomiku: I ran into the same trouble. try editing your sources.list to include the edgy backports and all. it will upgrade your xchat to the newest version, along with a few other programs, w/o having to install the libs by hand.
[07:06] <atomiku> enderxim: hmm?
[07:06] <Vince_> Text Mode
[07:06] <PanzerMKZ> what OS is the wireless?
[07:06] <arrenlex> Is there any way to use both my cores for compiling?
[07:06] <atomiku> I tried installing xchat-gnome but thats an oooollllddddd version
[07:06] <sjust1216> lexmark x83 Iknow but I had it working over the lan till my son moved out
[07:06] <PanzerMKZ> nm
[07:06] <eck> generally new kernels are pretty boring for desktop systems; the last one that really made a difference for me was whenever udev was introduced
[07:06] <Em3rald> PanzerMKZ: hehe, both Ubuntu :D
[07:06] <PanzerMKZ> I only have cli no gui so I have to edit interfaces file
[07:06] <enderxim> atomiku: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment the backport repos
[07:07] <Em3rald> PanzerMKZ: itsallgood .. I can do that.  Fire away.
[07:07] <Feengur> anyone here use LMMS? trying to decide if i should use it instead of Fruity Loops
[07:07] <cables> atomiku, are you on Edgy?
[07:07] <enderxim> atomiku: the rest should take care of itself. should tell you upgrade are available almost immediately.
[07:07] <Phatrabbi1> for beryl install on ubuntu it say add key wget http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org/root@lupine.me.uk.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -  do i just add that whole line to do i just add that to gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:07] <Vince_> prevone: Text Mode
[07:07] <cables> atomiku, if you're on Edgy you can do System>Administration>Software Sources instead.
[07:07] <prevone> Vince_, any odd hardware? how much ram? sometimes certain usb devices disagree with the installer (ive had troubles with a webcam)
[07:07] <Cc2iscooL> I'm probably just missing something here, but I *have* to ask. Is there a way to sort music by song title instead of artist with Amarok?
[07:07] <arrenlex> Phatrabbi1: That entire line is a command you have to execute.
[07:07] <gmedina> fuck
[07:07] <atomiku> im on 6.10
[07:07] <enderxim> atomiku: otherwise, you can simply install the required libs using apt-get
[07:07] <cables> !language | gmedina
[07:07] <ubotu> gmedina: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[07:08] <cables> atomiku, in that case you could do System>Administration>Software Sources instead of editing the file.
[07:08] <Vince_> prevone: Nothing overly unsual.  I had all this working before, but i've had to change motherboards
[07:08] <atomiku> thanks cables
[07:08] <atomiku> ive just reinstalled ubuntu again lol
[07:08] <Phatrabbi1> arrenlex: so i dont put that line in /etc/apt/sources.list i just place that in my terminal press enter

[07:09] <ubotu> PanzerMKZ: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[07:09] <PanzerMKZ> thanks
[07:09] <arrenlex> Phatrabbi1: That's correc.t
[07:09] <arrenlex> t.
[07:09] <atomiku> so what exactly am I supposed to be doing here
[07:09] <atomiku> I need the libdbus1-2 package yes?
[07:09] <Em3rald> ugh ... path to interfaces file?
[07:09] <prevone> Vince_, do you have any usb devices plugged in?
[07:09] <cables> atomiku, I don't know how enabling backports will help
[07:10] <atomiku> me niether
[07:10] <enderxim> cables: it recognizes the xchat and a few other apps newest versions.
[07:10] <atomiku> oh
[07:10] <PanzerMKZ> "/etc/network/interfaces"
[07:10] <Em3rald> haha, spelling error.
[07:10] <atomiku> why cant they just be included normally >_<
[07:10] <atomiku> without having to enable backport lol
[07:10] <enderxim> atomiku: because they are beta
[07:10] <atomiku> oh
[07:11] <atomiku> yeah okay
[07:11] <makuseru> how can i change the Default TCP Receive Window (RWIN) value?
[07:11] <enderxim> atomiku: i, as i've said, like the newest versions of software available. i like the beta packages.
[07:11] <Vince_> prevone: A printer (Dell A920), USB Mouse, A Nostromo Keypad, and a thrustmaster joystick
[07:11] <cables> enderxim, something in the regular section should not depend on something in backports...
[07:12] <Em3rald> PanzerMKZ: okay, quick and possibly dumb question.  Before I commit to any changes.  How will this affect when I have friends/colleagues over with wireless laptops who want to connect?
[07:12] <prevone> Vince_, you might want to try unplugging everything that isnt needed and then plugging them back in once you have a successful install. Otherwise you might want to try fiesty.
[07:12] <Vince_> fiesty?
[07:12] <PanzerMKZ> well you are checking if this might work. If they are over and it works then
[07:12] <Vince_> Is that the current version?
[07:12] <PanzerMKZ> they can just hardwire IP
[07:12] <enderxim> cables: he was trying to compile the newest xchat, correct? 2.6.6 is in the standard repos, but 2.8.0, is in the backports
[07:13] <cables> enderxim, I guess I wasn't following that he was trying to compile the latest.
[07:13] <PanzerMKZ> or you could later see if your DHCP server woruld dump wireless comp a up
[07:13] <PanzerMKZ> ip
[07:13] <prevone> its still in testing, version 7.04 (april release)
[07:13] <cables> atomiku, were you trying to compile xchat, or just install from the repos?
[07:14] <PanzerMKZ> I love the DD-wrt
[07:14] <Vince_> prevone: I'm technical enough I can run a version of Linux if everything works right. Im not good enough that I can tinker with releases that arn't final yet ;-)
[07:14] <neoTheCat> is there any default setup in ubuntu that will not allow UDP packets to be broadcasted?
[07:14] <PanzerMKZ> which you might be able to put on that router
[07:14] <Em3rald> PanzerMKZ: hmm.  Aight.  but wait, there's more.  what about ESSID and wireless Keys which are currently set?
[07:14] <prevone> Vince_, fiesty is far along enough that it will be stable. Also has some pretty cool new features.
[07:14] <prevone> It will probably be easier to install/use than the current version
[07:14] <Moonshine> Is there an easy way to change a batch of images from one size to another?
[07:15] <PanzerMKZ> yea that should be the same
[07:15] <Vince_> prevone: Yes but its not well documented yet.  The reason I want to go with Dapper for the moment is because if I want to do anything with it I can find something pretty easy on google to explain it to me
[07:15] <cables> prevone, why are you saying that?
[07:15] <cables> Vince_, have you tried Edgy? It's the current version.
[07:15] <Em3rald> PanzerMKZ: Okay.  So I will pastebin my new and improved file before I save it.
[07:15] <enderxim> prevone: if i installed feisty during the beta, would upgrading it using apt-get/synaptic give me the same version as installing from a live-cd?
[07:15] <Vince_> Yes, That gave me a "Cannot find or mount ot load a TTY device"
[07:15] <prevone> because its true
[07:15] <enderxim> i am ok with linux, but fairly new with ubuntu
[07:16] <makuseru> how can i change the Default TCP Receive Window (RWIN) value?
[07:16] <Phatrabbi1> arrenlex: when i put that on the last line -- >  deb http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org/  of /etc/apt/sources.list  i get the error when i try to update ---> smokeworld@smokeworld-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get update
[07:16] <Phatrabbi1> E: Malformed line 35 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist)
[07:17] <Vince_> prevone: Yes and it told me /bin/sh cant access tty; Job control turned off and then gave me a prompt I couln't do anything with
[07:17] <arrenlex> Phatrabbi1: Because it needs to look like this: deb http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org/ edgy main
[07:18] <ttmrichter> OK, so if I want to make an Ubuntu Users' Group involving my students, what would be a good place to look for materials and activities that are useful and interesting to them?
[07:18] <Phatrabbi1> arrenlex: ahh champion got it
[07:19] <Em3rald> PanzerMKZ: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9778/ <-- I am assuming you are suggesting precisely what to enter, that I am not to enter my own ip addies and such.
[07:19] <PanzerMKZ> ttmrichter: you got a lug?
[07:19] <PanzerMKZ> Em3rald: no that was a direct copy of my infterfaces
[07:20] <eck> ttmrichter: i would just make it a lug, you'll get a lot more users
[07:20] <PanzerMKZ> change it to your needs
[07:20] <keith> does anyone know how to increase the motion of a notebook touch pad?  (I just graded to ubuntu 6.10 and the touch pad barely moves the cursor)
[07:20] <Em3rald> PanzerMKZ: okie dokie.  hang on, a fresh pastebin coming at ya in a sec
[07:20] <eck> keith: you can use xset to control mouse sensitivity
[07:20] <keith> ec
[07:20] <keith> eck: xset?
[07:21] <jbwan> question: is there a more recent kernel than 2.6.17-11-generic that will facilitate my 300 GB hard drive?
[07:21] <eck> keith: yeah, iirc you run something like 'xset m 3 4'
[07:21] <keith> eck: ah
[07:21] <jbwan> I've narrowed it down to that issue I believe
[07:21] <eck> read the man page to understand what the numbers do
[07:21] <preVail> jbwan, what do you mean?
[07:21] <ttmrichter> eck, PanzerMKZ: these students have, for the most part, never encountered Linux at all.  There *ARE* no Linux users, for all practical purposes, in this country.
[07:21] <jbwan> preVail: I have a 300 GB hd that I can't fully partition
[07:21] <arrenlex> keith: I added this to the touchpad section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf and it fixed it for me: Option "MinSpeed" "0.5"     and    Option "MaxSpeed" "1"
[07:21] <jbwan> yet if I do like 1 GB
[07:22] <jbwan> it's fine
[07:22] <eoX> !chroot > me
[07:22] <PanzerMKZ> ttmrichter: Oh that is different then
[07:22] <jbwan> errors out with error 22 invalid argument if I try to do the full 300
[07:22] <PanzerMKZ> what about showing them how to install
[07:22] <whtvrrob> ttmrichter: what age are the students, high school, college?
[07:22] <|Jason8|> Is KDE a huge memory hog compared to Gnome?
[07:22] <Jake_> Hey all, How do i setup dual monitors (hdtv 1080i, and lcd) to both run on seperate x servers
[07:22] <preVail> jbwan, what are you using to partition?
[07:22] <eck> ttmrichter: you might consider signing up for some mailing lists and writing in and asking what other people have tried; most LUGs have a mailing list, plus you will find a lot of good suggestions on the ubuntu mailing lists and the like
[07:23] <jbwan> preVail: fdisk
[07:23] <keith> eck: wow now my mouse really moves fast but my mouse pad is near unuseable
[07:23] <preVail> |Jason8|, no
[07:23] <jbwan> in ubuntu
[07:23] <ttmrichter> PanzerMKZ, whtvrrob, eck: These are university students.  Youngest is 16 (!), but most are 19-21.  They are young for their age though.
[07:23] <PanzerMKZ> they run computers though
[07:23] <Em3rald> PanzerMKZ: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9779/ <-- I am mildly concerned about whether this comp is gonna be searching in the right place for it's network connection once this is done.  I have to make adjustments to my other router too I think.  Get all the moon and stars aligned and all that jazz.
[07:23] <PanzerMKZ> show them what you can do with a linux box
[07:24] <preVail> jbwan, I dont think that its a kernel problem. perhaps you could try using gparted or another program to partition
[07:24] <eoX> can someone plz explain to me what is a chroot environment?
[07:24] <eoX> or just a guide to chroot
[07:24] <preVail> jbwan, is there any reason that you believe it is a kernel related problem?
[07:24] <omeil> !chroot
[07:24] <ubotu> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box
[07:24] <PanzerMKZ> Em3rald: give me a min to look
[07:25] <jbwan> not necessarily a kernel problem...more a hardware problem that I'm looking to resolve with a kernel
[07:25] <jbwan> :)
[07:25] <PanzerMKZ> I don't think you would have to change the upstream router just then one that is doing the wireless
[07:25] <arrenlex> eoX: A chroot is another Linux installation sitting in a folder of another one.
[07:25] <whtvrrob> ttmrichter: another idea is some basic python programming, i know i'm 16 and i like that, they may as well, and simple, also on ubuntu shipit if you order them all a 6.06 cd they'd be more likely to use that than making their own
[07:25] <eck> ttmrichter: what were you thinking of exactly? how to use desktop programs, linux programming, or what?
[07:25] <jbwan> I'll give gparted a shot... I don't know what the success rate will be
[07:26] <preVail> jbwan, i had problems using fdisk on my 250 gb disk. Gparted worked like a charm for me
[07:26] <PanzerMKZ> em3rald: I think you might have to move the static up to the top
[07:26] <jbwan> thanks, preVail
[07:26] <PanzerMKZ> change the line iface eth0
[07:26] <jbwan> I'll give you the results in a few
[07:26] <jbwan> :)
[07:26] <preVail> good luck
[07:27] <ttmrichter> whtvrrob, eck: I've just sent in an order to shipit for 300 disks for exactly that purpose.  And I want to start them off with being users first -- UNIX is an alien world to them.  They can get their programming from the other classes.  I just want to show them a world outside of Java, Javascript and ASP.
[07:27] <PanzerMKZ> ttmrichter: show them install
[07:28] <PanzerMKZ> show them
[07:28] <PanzerMKZ> using ubuntu
[07:28] <eoX> arrenlex so basically there is no advantage of me installing realplayer in chroot rite? and flash and firefox32 all that
[07:28] <chasmarang> hello
[07:28] <eoX> arrenlex is it better just to downgrade to 32bit ubuntu and have those things natively supported?
[07:29] <chasmarang> I want to see my c: drive with xp on it automatically
[07:29] <eck> ttmrichter: obviously the install and basic unix usage will take you quite some time, after that you should open it up to them and find out what else they want to get from it
[07:29] <luke_> i installed windows on my slave, then ubuntu on my master afterwards, i cant get grub to load windows. i get the error msg in grub "NTLDR is missing"
[07:30] <luke_> and i cant seem to fix it
[07:30] <PanzerMKZ> brb
[07:30] <luke_> could somebody please help moi
[07:31] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> PanzerMKZ: Okay, having some wierd isses with that comp now hehe.  I might be a minute too.
[07:31] <chasmarang> edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst
[07:31] <luke_> i have
[07:31] <luke_> want to know what i put in?
[07:31] <whtvrrob> ttmrichter: also after the basics have been taught if you get some input from them to see what they want to learn about it, thats what i do with teaching my computer club kids
[07:31] <chasmarang> k
[07:31] <arrenlex> eoX: I strongly advise you to run a 32-bit distro. You won't notice any performance difference from a 64-bit operating system under normal desktop use, you'll only run into compatibility troubles.
[07:32] <luke_> charsmarang: title Windows
[07:32] <luke_> root (hd1,0)
[07:32] <luke_> map (hd0) (hd1)
[07:32] <luke_> map (hd1) (hd0)
[07:32] <luke_> makeactive
[07:32] <luke_> chainloader +1
[07:32] <PanzerMKZ> em3rald: maybe it is auto then
[07:33] <daya> what is the differrence bet. linux and Unix
[07:33] <chasmarang> looks right
[07:33] <acid_burn> I call the big one Bitey.
[07:33] <chasmarang> I want to see my c: drive with xp on it automatically
[07:34] <preVail> luke_, what does the map do
[07:34] <jbwan> preVail: gparted is running....
[07:34] <jbwan> should wind up with about 280 GB of 300 usable
[07:34] <luke_> not sure, it swaps where grub thinks the drives are i -think-
[07:34] <eck> daya: basically just who wrote the code
[07:34] <jbwan> I'll go back and check on it in a few and let you know
[07:34] <preVail> jbwan, is that a brand new drive?
[07:34] <eck> daya: for most purposes they are the same, but regular unix tends to be more broken
[07:35] <jbwan> no, it's was an NTFS formatted drive
[07:35] <jbwan> had it for a little while
[07:35] <chasmarang> how do I tell fstab to load my xp drive automatically
[07:35] <preVail> luke_, have you tried commenting the map lines out. Its been a while since i dual-booted but I dont see why those are necessary
[07:35] <daya> eck, I so far knew that unix is not free am I right?
[07:35] <eoX> arrenlex i think u are largely rite i think 64bit only helps speed up encoding and extracting of files or Am i wrong? i tried running firefox and flash on 32bit library its pretty good but realplayer refuse to run so im thinking of chroot but just reading into it so don't know too much
[07:35] <luke_> preVail: i think i tried it without the maps first, but ill give it a go i might have been missing a line back then too
[07:36] <eck> daya: it depends on the implementation, but generally it is not compatible with the gpl
[07:36] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> PanzerMKZ: ugh ... I am all tied in knots now.  I can't even access the 'net from that comp now :(
[07:36] <arrenlex> !u | eoX
[07:36] <ubotu> eoX: Unless you're Dutch, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun.  If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you".  The same goes for "why", "because", "anyone", and so on..
[07:36] <eck> daya: often though you buy a contract for the source code with a proprietary unix implementation
[07:36] <jbwan> am I correct in assuming the only way to mount the drive is using /etc/fstab to a mount point? No way to get to show up like the file system drive?
 how do I tell fstab to load my xp drive automatically
[07:36] <preVail> chasmarang, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_mount_Windows_partitions_.28NTFS.29_on_boot-up.2C_and_allow_all_users_to_read_only
[07:36] <dauoalagio1> Hello, i have my  edgy set up with alsa.  sound is working, however, it is very soft.  i have it turned up all the way alsamixer and gnome-volume-control.  any ideas?  it is also kind of distored.  it's a conexant high definition audio
[07:36] <daya> eck, is FreeBSD is totally UNIX?
[07:37] <acid_burn> 
[07:37] <PanzerMKZ> Em3rald, try to ping your router
[07:37] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> PanzerMKZ: kay
[07:37] <chasmarang> oh so it wont let me alter anything
[07:37] <eck> daya: it sort of depends. it has no at&t code in it, but it is directly derviced from unix
[07:37] <eoX> arrenlex why does that bother you soo much? i picked up this habit in college like b/c y and u haha
[07:37] <PanzerMKZ> then if that works
[07:37] <jbwan> I have /dev/hdb1     /mnt/data     ext3     defaults,errors=remount-ro 0     1
[07:37] <PanzerMKZ> then ping the other box
[07:37] <jbwan> copied from another line in the config
[07:37] <preVail> chasmarang, go to that webpage. right below it will explain what you want to do (ntfs-3g)
[07:37] <eck> derived even
[07:38] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> Panzer:  pinging from client to both routers worx.  now ...
[07:38] <arrenlex> eoX: 64-bit doesn't actually speed up applications; it simply allows you to access more physical memory (4GB was the limit for 32-bit) and resolves several CPU and memory bottlenecks which could not be addressed by 32, which you won't feel anyway under desktop use.
[07:38] <acid_burn> I think that sash is cutting off air to your brain.
[07:38] <daya> eck, is there are any flavours of unix as linux ?
[07:38] <PanzerMKZ> ok
[07:38] <preVail> jbwan, i dont understand
[07:38] <eck> daya: a lot of people call bsd unix though
[07:38] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> PanzerMKZ: pinging the wireless router from the wired computer doesn't work.
[07:38] <eck> daya: i don't understand your question
[07:38] <jbwan> preVail: to automount the second hard drive
[07:38] <arrenlex> eoX: I take the time to type things out properly; why can't you? It makes you sound like a moron and makes it hard for me to take you seriously.
[07:38] <chasmarang> thank you
[07:38] <jbwan> on boot
[07:38] <PanzerMKZ> that is nuts then
[07:38] <wasabi> arrenlex: Strictly speaking that is incorrect. Having 64 bit registers lets you move and operate on a 64 bit value every cycles vs a 32 bit value.
[07:38] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> hmm, wait maybe wrong ip
[07:39] <jeanre> gosh eclipse is slow\
[07:39] <daya> eck, I mean different version of unix?
[07:39] <wasabi> arrenlex: With, along with creative compiler optimizations and specific workloads, can be faster.
[07:39] <daya> eck, as different distros of linux?
[07:39] <eck> daya: there are a _lot_ of them
[07:39] <daya> eck, is unix is one?
[07:39] <jbwan> I'd like to automount it and have it show up as a hard disk, like the filesystem does ... at the least show the mount point the computer browser
[07:39] <eoX> arrenlex i only have 2 gig of ram so i guess 64bit is not needed at all
[07:39] <wasabi> arrenlex: Or it could also be slower because you're storing 64 bits of data in RAM instead of 32. Depending on the work load.
[07:39] <jbwan> forgive my ignorance ... I'm a Windows engineer trying to cross over from the dark side :)
[07:39] <preVail> jbwan, that can be done
[07:40] <preVail> jbwan, hah
[07:40] <preVail> do you use gnome or kde?
[07:40] <daya> eck, eg.
[07:40] <jbwan> gnome
[07:40] <eck> daya: there is no such thing as just 'unix'. originally at&t developed it, and they sold the code to many other companies, each of these companies then developed it independently and sold their own slightly incompatible versions of 'unix'
[07:40] <arrenlex> wasabi: But applications are written with 32-bit in mind at the moment anyway, meaning the only benefits they get from that are what the compiler gives them, which is very little, I take it.
[07:40] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> PanzerMKZ: okay, here's what is messing with my head.  The IP of the wired router is .0.1 ; the IP of the wireless *from the wired computer* is what?  is it the static one or it
[07:40] <eoX> arrenlex i don't think shorthands makes me look retarded but if you don't like it i can type out the whole thing
[07:40] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> 's original one?
[07:40] <PanzerMKZ> say again
[07:40] <arrenlex> eoX: Thank you very much. :)
[07:41] <simpla> does anyone know where i could get info or howto install device-mapper?
[07:41] <preVail> jbwan, if you configure it to mount on boot it will probably automatically show up in gnome as a hard disk
[07:41] <wasabi> arrenlex: Also pretty much not something you can simply "say". Many media programs derive instant benefit from being able to move larger amounts of data.
[07:41] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> PanzerMKZ: Hehehe just a sec.
[07:41] <PanzerMKZ> Would someone please tell me where the dns resolver file is
[07:41] <PanzerMKZ> ?
[07:41] <preVail> PanzerMKZ, /etc/resolv.conf
[07:41] <simpla> /etc/resolv.conf ?
[07:41] <PanzerMKZ> thanks
[07:41] <sjust1216> jbwan this is what is in my /etc/fstab to mount my other drives
[07:41] <sjust1216> /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 ntfs-3g silent,umask=0,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0
[07:41] <jbwan> preVail: do I have the correct line entry for /etc/fstab?
[07:41] <eoX> arrenlex well since Im gonna reinstall with 32 bit is there any shortcomings from using reiserfs and mount noatime? i don't see any personally
[07:41] <arrenlex> wasabi: I agree that for applications coded by hand to work with 64-bit, on a machine with 4+ GB of RAM, compiled on an optimising compiler, there will probably be a tangible benefit. But I still think for desktop use in the current world, the only difference you will really see is the lack of flash.
[07:42] <{NmE}> Greetings ... I am looking for some help with beryl.. anyone able to help? (I have it installed.. I just dont think it is working.. :(    )
[07:42] <eoX> arrenlex:  right now i'm using ext3 and mount defualt
[07:42] <sjust1216> my other drives are ntfs
[07:42] <wasabi> arrenlex: Oh, don't get me wrong. I agree. Just saying that what you're saying isn't strictly accurate. mplayer for example gets a benefit.
[07:42] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> PanzerMKZ: Aight.  WiredComp: 192.168.0.100; wiredRouter: 192.168.0.1; WirelessRouter: ??? ; WirelessComp: ???
[07:42] <arrenlex> eoX: I've never run reiserFS, but I've heard if has some stability problems... you should read the wikipedia entry to see if they mention any drawbacks, or ask around.
[07:42] <Flannel> {NmE}: #ubuntu-effects for beryl support
[07:42] <daya> eck, thanks a lot !
[07:42] <jbwan> sjust1216: I was going to say ... it isn't ntfs anymore :)
[07:42] <preVail> jbwan, what format is the drive? (ext, reiser...)
[07:42] <jbwan> brb...checking on gparted
[07:43] <arrenlex> wasabi: Actually, mplayer suffers quite a bit, because it is no longer able to play .wmv, .rm, or quicktime. xP
[07:43] <jbwan> ext3
[07:43] <PanzerMKZ> oh you are asking me what the IP's should be then?
[07:43] <CoRnJuLiOx> hey, will a package for ubuntu edgy work fine on ubuntu dapper?
[07:43] <eck> daya: no problem -- if you are interested, wikipedia has a lot more information about the history of unix
[07:43] <Flannel> CoRnJuLiOx: no
[07:43] <eoX> arrenlex:  K thank you
[07:43] <{NmE}> Flannel, thank you!
[07:43] <daya> eck, ok
[07:43] <sjust1216> then you do not need the ntfs3g part but what it is formated as
[07:43] <daya> eck, where are you from?, I am from Nepal
[07:43] <sjust1216> ext3 or ext2 ect
[07:44] <wasabi> arrenlex: Depends on your goal. ;)
[07:44] <PanzerMKZ> Em3rald: You asking me what the IP's should be
[07:44] <PanzerMKZ> ?
[07:44] <wasabi> arrenlex: Also, gstreamer gets a benefit, and you can buy the fluendo wmv codecs.
[07:44] <eck> daya: america
[07:44] <daya> ekv, ye
[07:44] <Buffman> hey, has anyone gotten the macbook pro wireless working in dapper?
[07:44] <sjust1216> you need to make a directory in or where ever you want to mount it to
[07:44] <jbwan> sjust1216: ext3
[07:44] <jbwan> that's already done
[07:44] <Linuturk> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=381533 << hate if this is redundant, but I think I lost irc last time
[07:44] <{NmE}> Flannel, I think you sent me to a ghost town of a chan... lol.. No one seems to be responding..
[07:44] <jbwan> and I put in an entry but I think I botched it
[07:45] <jbwan> I have /dev/hdb1     /mnt/data     ext3     defaults,errors=remount-ro 0     1

[07:45] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> Panzer:  sorta.  But hang on, I goofed a couple of things, and I am onto something.  Give me a couple of minutes to get my brain unravelled.
[07:46] <PanzerMKZ> Em3rald: np
[07:46] <preVail> jbwan, if you are having any goofy problems with the drive, try using the same mount options that you have for /
[07:47] <preVail> sorry, its tough to give more specific help when im at a windows computer
[07:49] <xeternal> hello
[07:49] <arrenlex> !hi | xeternal
[07:49] <ubotu> xeternal: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[07:49] <jbwan> hehe preVail: no problem
[07:50] <jbwan> I've actually managed to get down to a single Windows box in my house despite the fact I support Windows servers and MS technologies for a living
[07:50] <jbwan> I figure I cut my learning curve down by forcing myself to sink or swim
[07:51] <PanzerMKZ> that si cool
[07:51] <PanzerMKZ> I am trying to learn linux at cli only
[07:51] <Flannel> PanzerMKZ: Sounds good.  Welcome to the club.
[07:51] <arrenlex> jbwan: You support Windows servers? Is that at all like trying to patch a dam with chewing gum?
[07:52] <preVail> yea, took me a while to finally cut windows out completely. best decision i ever made
[07:52] <jbwan> arrenlex: somewhat
[07:52] <PanzerMKZ> yea I am learning alot that can be scripted and such
[07:52] <jbwan> though I find that it's easier to support the OS and base functions (i.e clustering, DFS, etc)
[07:52] <PanzerMKZ> and I like that I don't have to pay 400$ for a crap file server
[07:52] <jbwan> than dealing with the idiotic applications support people
[07:53] <sjust1216> jbwan try this site out it might help you https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive
[07:53] <jbwan> I spent all day today working with FileNet people
[07:53] <GhostFreeman> so do I resync my clock
[07:53] <jbwan> had the cluster they set up wrong done within an hour
[07:53] <jbwan> spent the other 8
[07:53] <jbwan> doinking with applications stuff and back end Unix / Java integration with the front end Windows boxes
[07:54] <preVail> sounds frustrating
[07:54] <jbwan> never a dull moment
[07:55] <PanzerMKZ> computers are never dull. Just stressful
[07:55] <jbwan> I get to be in training all next week though, so it'll be like a vacation :)
[07:55] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> PanzerMKZ: Okay, here's the issue.  First off, stupid entries in the interfaces.  Who puts an IP of *.400?  I am retarded.  Second, the SMC router won't seem to let me change it's IP in the LAN settings to anything other than 192.168.2.1 (default), which means that any computer connected to that wireless router is going to have a 192.168.2.* addy.  But we *want* all comps on ALL routers to have a 192.168.0.* IP.  Ugh .. m
[07:55] <Em3raldMcSquizzy>   So, I *can* disable DHCP, but what use would that be if I can't force the router to take on a .0.* address?
[07:55] <CoRnJuLiOx> does ubuntu come with AIGLX? i'm trying to install beryl
[07:55] <jbwan> here, here PanzerMKZ!
[07:55] <Flannel> CoRnJuLiOx: #ubuntu-effects for all the Beryl stuff you'll need
[07:56] <PanzerMKZ> Em3rald: yea that is nuts
[07:56] <PanzerMKZ> I really like a wrt54gl reflashed with DD-Wrt
[07:56] <roy_> hi
[07:56] <PanzerMKZ> but you got the smc
[07:56] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> hehe, it was free
[07:57] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> What I *need* is an 8 port router with wireless.
[07:57] <roy_> can I ask something about DVD-burning on Ubuntu?
[07:57] <preVail> Em3raldMcSquizzy, are you using multiple routers?
[07:57] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> I am partial to Dlink.
[07:57] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> preVail: yup
[07:57] <shmuelix> hi. i was wondering how to disable the ubuntu loading screen and just get the text boot//
[07:57] <abhinay> hi all :)
[07:57] <PanzerMKZ> why not just get eight port switch
[07:57] <PanzerMKZ> ?
[07:57] <preVail> why not set that router into hub mode?
[07:57] <abhinay> shmuelix: remove the splash from the kernel parameters
[07:57] <PanzerMKZ> hey hey
[07:57] <jbwan> just buy linksys gear
[07:57] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> PanzerMKZ: umm.  dunno.  preVail:  how?
[07:57] <PanzerMKZ> that might work
[07:58] <jbwan> and flash the boxes with dd-wrt
[07:58] <jbwan> :)
[07:58] <preVail> disable the dhcp server and NAT
[07:58] <jbwan> disclaimer: just make sure to rtfm before you do
[07:58] <Flannel> shmuelix: you need to edit your boot options, remove "quiet" turn "splash" into "nosplash"
[07:58] <abhinay> shmuelix: also remove quiet option to get verbose mode
[07:58] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> preVail: aight, I can disable dhcp, but I don't know where to look for disabling NAT
[07:58] <jbwan> Em3raldMcSquizzy: it's a firmware replacement for Linksys firmware on some routers
[07:58] <PanzerMKZ> ok so what port you got the eth cable plugged into the cms?
[07:58] <tonyyarusso> Em3raldMcSquizzy: third party firmware (I use it too)
[07:58] <roy_> hi, I inserted a blank DVD and the wizard thingy allowed me to burn a DVD, but when I try to read the DVD in a Windows machine, the long filenames couldn't be read by windows (they're okay when I read the same DVD from ubuntu)
[07:58] <jbwan> but with more functionality
[07:58] <jbwan> like
[07:58] <jbwan> hotspot
[07:59] <jbwan> bridging
[07:59] <jbwan> full vpn capable
[07:59] <shmuelix> Flannel, where is that file located ?
[07:59] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> PanzerMKZ: from D-LINK port 4 to SMC port WAN
[07:59] <preVail> Em3raldMcSquizzy, you may have to search around or try googling it, but it should be possible
[08:00] <PanzerMKZ> change SMC port to one of the lan ports
[08:00] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> preVail: hehehe cool
[08:00] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> PanzerMKZ: wierd, but okay :D
[08:00] <PanzerMKZ> yea I know
[08:00] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> She's now in 1
[08:00] <preVail> i had to do the same for an OLD linksys router, kind of a pain but it worked
[08:00] <PanzerMKZ> but that is how I have to do it on my wireless at work
[08:00] <xenex> if i have windows installed, could i install ubuntu and take some diskspace from windows?
[08:01] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> PanzerMKZ: hehe, cool.  Okay, so now what?
[08:01] <tonyyarusso> !dualboot | xenex

[08:01] <shmuelix> Flannel, where is that file located ?/
[08:01] <shmuelix> sorry.. where is the boot-up option file located ?
[08:01] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> PanzerMKZ:  except I dunno what it's IP should be do I?
[08:02] <abhinay> Ubuntu Dapper is getting stoped to boot at uncompressing , in  Compaq Proliant 560 with SCSI RAID,  Any Idea ?
[08:02] <preVail> shmuelix, try /boot/grub/menu.lst
[08:02] <PanzerMKZ> what about reseting the wireless comp with dhcp now
[08:03] <jeanre> man my boss is a idiot
[08:03] <shmuelix> thanks.
[08:03] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> Hmm, aight, gimme a sec.
[08:03] <dimeotane> how do I do the checksum thing on the iso I just downloaded?
[08:03] <preVail> jeanre, how so
[08:03] <jeanre> is there any decent gtk webcam / im applications
[08:03] <dimeotane> gaim is a good im
[08:04] <preVail> ekiga
[08:04] <jeanre> preVail: I work 18 hours a day and he expects me to work on weekends
[08:04] <jeanre> with out extra pay
[08:04] <jeanre> heh
[08:04] <dimeotane> tell em hes fired
[08:04] <preVail> that sucks
[08:04] <preVail> amsn works great with webcams too
[08:04] <jeanre> and then he has the cheeck to tell me he can replace me at any time
[08:05] <jeanre> preVail: yeah but amsn is ugly
[08:05] <PanzerMKZ> ok so can you feed samba different printer drivers
[08:05] <jbwan> preVail / sjust1216: thanks for the assistance. looks like the formatting part is done
[08:05] <preVail> out of the box it is, but you can change the theme
[08:05] <jbwan> and I can mount manually
[08:05] <shmuelix> survey: what is the best computer(desktop) search program for ubuntu ?
[08:05] <PanzerMKZ> for different windows ok'
[08:05] <jbwan> but my fstab needs some work to get automount working
[08:05] <jeanre> preVail: mind a pm?
[08:05] <preVail> send me one
[08:05] <mike1o> find / | grep windows
[08:05] <sjust1216> no problem
[08:06] <abhinay> shmuelix: beagle
[08:06] <shmuelix> thanks.
[08:06] <mike1o> my gf is using ubuntu as of yesterday :-D
[08:07] <jeanre> preVail: is your nick registered
[08:07] <Fracture> I just accidentally deleted my MySQL Administrator menu option from the Programming menu.. How can I get it back ?? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the packag, but that didn't work
[08:07] <jeanre> Fracture: use the console :D
[08:07] <jeanre> heheh
[08:07] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> PanzerMKZ: Okay, I reset the interfaces file to the original; I reset the wireless router to dhcp but kept it static.  now, uh ... what?  The router is still identifying itself with a .2.* addy, and the computer therefore is also still .2.33
[08:07] <Fracture> jeanre: lol
[08:07] <Fracture> jeanre: I normally do
[08:07] <jbwan> mike: my wife and my daughter are entirely on ubuntu
[08:07] <jbwan> a pretty easy transition for them
[08:07] <Fracture> jeanre: but I like to add often used shortcuts to my panel;
[08:08] <PanzerMKZ> check your user man. There has to be a way to change that IP
[08:08] <jeanre> hmmm
[08:09] <jeanre> Fracture: you can always add the menu item manually
[08:09] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> PanzerMKZ: Okay, possible additional goof on my part:  I had clicked on Spoof MAC address, it was in the spot where I anticipated an OKAY button.  Yeah.  brain cells are definitely shrivveled.
[08:09] <Fracture> jeanre: yeah, I was about to do that..
[08:09] <PanzerMKZ> sleep is always a good thing
[08:09] <jeanre> Fracture: I am not a gnome fan
[08:09] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> haha
[08:09] <jeanre> hehe
[08:09] <jeanre> so like my gnone is lank ugly
[08:09] <Flannel> shmuelix: /boot/grub/menu.lst, you'll want to edit the (commented out) lines at the top
[08:10] <CUBeR64> What year was it that linux won't be able to pass over? similiar to the year 2000 thing that plagued older operating systems
[08:10] <mike1o> jbwan, my gf wanted too also... but after months i hadn't found a driver for her printer... y-day i found it
[08:10] <PanzerMKZ> ten pound sledge works better
[08:10] <jbwan> that's the one thing that I don't have yet
[08:10] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> PanzerMKZ: Haha, okay, now that we played around, lets try to get it all back to it's original settings.  Just so I can have inet on that machine again.
[08:10] <jbwan> but I haven't had the time to look
[08:10] <jbwan> my wife wanted to get this HP all in one jobby
[08:10] <jeanre> ok who here has a kick ass ubuntu install? with nice gnome
[08:10] <jeanre> show screenshots
[08:10] <jbwan> not sure if I'll find a driver for it or not
[08:10] <PanzerMKZ> well you shoudl have inet now
[08:11] <jbwan> sjust1216: restart again with modified fstab
[08:11] <Madpilot> jbwan, HP stuff is generally well supported, even their all-in-one things
[08:11] <mike1o> jbwan, i was really lucky i made a printer which was declared 100% unlinuxable
[08:12] <CUBeR64> What year was it that linux won't be able to pass over? similiar to the year 2000 thing that plagued older operating systems
[08:12] <mike1o> jbwan, *i found a printer driver i meant
[08:12] <preVail> jeanre, i feel like an idiot. ive been typing in the pm and just realized im not registered
[08:12] <PanzerMKZ> 2038 I thiink
[08:12] <sjust1216> should work
[08:13] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> PanzerMKZ: mmm ... not yet.  But might in a sec.  I wonder if I have to reboot the router becuase I clicked on the Clone MAC addy thing, so that it recieves a new addy from the wired router?
[08:13] <jeanre> lol
[08:13] <jeanre> man why does rezlooks not work!
[08:13] <PanzerMKZ> you should not have too
[08:13] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> oooo .,.. hang on ... looks like it might work ... I see flickering LEDs
[08:13] <PanzerMKZ> oh oh that is a good sigh
[08:13] <PanzerMKZ> sign
[08:14] <jeanre> preVail: lol :P
[08:14] <preVail> does everyone here use gnome?
[08:14] <sjust1216> thats why I am here to see if I can get my printer working
[08:14] <preVail> i much prefer kde
[08:14] <arrenlex> preVail: I use KDE.
[08:14] <Madpilot> preVail, doesn't everyone with sense? ;)
[08:14] <jeanre> preVail: I use gnome
[08:14] <sjust1216> gnome/beryl
[08:15] <preVail> hah, i love the linus/gnome conflict
[08:15] <Madpilot> sjust1216, have you checked OpenPrinting for info on your printer?
[08:15] <jeanre> sjust1216: screenshot
[08:15] <jeanre> make it now!
[08:15] <arrenlex> Madpilot: If by "everyone with sense" you mean "everyone who is crazy", yes! :)
[08:15] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> PanzerMKZ: {whew} back to normal.  Still no NFS, but I am thinking maybe I should give it a break hehe.  ANy other (better) ways of having a folder on the wired comp available on the wireless comp?
[08:15] <sjust1216> it is lexmark
[08:15] <PanzerMKZ> ftp
[08:15] <Madpilot> arrenlex, I'd @lart you, if that worked here...
[08:15] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> Madpilot: I prefer Gnome. :P
[08:15] <arrenlex> @lart Madpilot
[08:15] <sjust1216> pos

[08:16] <Madpilot> sjust1216, http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting
[08:16] <preVail> a very unpopular opinion Madpilot
[08:16] <jeanre> non of the themes I grap from gnone-look.org works right
[08:16] <mike1o> Madpilot, gnome here
[08:16] <sjust1216> had it working over the lan but my son moved out so I had to hook it up to my computer
[08:16] <Askar> Hi..how long does it take for you guys to open firefox?
[08:16] <d34l3r> hi al
[08:16] <PanzerMKZ> hey hey folks I am gui less
[08:16] <d34l3r> l
[08:16] <arrenlex> Askar: Two-three seconds.
[08:17] <_roy> hello
[08:17] <Madpilot> preVail, I'm misunderstood - what I meant was "sensible people run Gnome"...
[08:17] <d34l3r> I got some problem with the graphics drivers at Ubuntu
[08:17] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> Askar: about 5 sec (Sempron 2600)
[08:17] <preVail> Askar, i assume if you even have to ask yours is taking too long
[08:17] <d34l3r> here I got a PC with Nvidia Geforce 4 Ti 4200
[08:17] <d34l3r> do i need legacy or not?
[08:17] <jeanre> hmmmm
[08:17] <d34l3r> I installed legacy
[08:17] <jeanre> legacy
[08:17] <PanzerMKZ> Em3rald
[08:17] <PanzerMKZ> check out vsftpd
[08:17] <Madpilot> sjust1216, what model of Lexmark?
[08:17] <d34l3r> but direct rendering does not work
[08:17] <jeanre> gf4 is not supported anymore
[08:18] <d34l3r> @ jeanre
[08:18] <sjust1216> says it is a paperwheight X83
[08:18] <d34l3r> I wanna play some old games using Cedega
[08:18] <Askar> preVail: yeah.. mine is taking 7-8 sec... It feels kind of long.. It felt that it opened quicker when ubuntu was freshly installed..can that be true?
[08:18] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> PanzerMKZ: I briefly looked at that, but it seems a less-than-ideal method of playing music across the network ;)
[08:18] <d34l3r> so I need direct rendering
[08:18] <profx> when I do sudo apt-get update, I get GPG error: http://www.beerorkid.com edgy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 31A5F97FED8A569E as an error
[08:18] <arrenlex> 0_0 Well that a sound I've never heard my computer make before...
[08:18] <profx> is there something I need to do to get the key?
[08:18] <_roy> I have a problem: I burned some files to a blank DVD, and it seems ok. But when I try to read the disc in a Windows machine, the long filenames are lost, windows just shows filenames like "kf_001", etc.
[08:18] <PanzerMKZ> oh so you are trying to do samba then?
[08:18] <IndyGunFreak> profx: is it keeping you from insalling the software you're tring to get?
[08:18] <mike1o> !gpg
[08:18] <_roy> is there something I should do so that windows can read it correctly?
[08:18] <ubotu> gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard.  See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto
[08:19] <profx> not really
[08:19] <sjust1216> had it working with a z82 driver
[08:19] <profx> i dont think
[08:19] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> PanzerMKZ: originally trying nfs.  Getting lots of lack-of-permission issues.  Haven't tried Samba yet.
[08:19] <IndyGunFreak> profx: personally, i wouldn't really worry about it, but you can also look at that link.
[08:19] <PanzerMKZ> oh ok
[08:19] <CUBeR64> What year was it that linux won't be able to pass over? similiar to the year 2000 thing that plagued older operating systems
[08:19] <PanzerMKZ> you need to get them on the same subnet what ever you do
[08:19] <profx> doesnt seem like I setup my repos properly
[08:19] <Madpilot> profx, remove the automatix repo from your sources.list, that'll solve your problems. Then avoid Autobreakitz
[08:19] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> PanzerMKZ: thanks so much for your patience though.  I understand how frustrating it can be from your end of the keyboard ... I have been there too :D
[08:20] <profx> how would I do that Madpilot?
[08:20] <Flannel> profx: You don't want to use automatix.
[08:20] <IndyGunFreak> Madpilot: it doesn't look like automatix is causing the problem..
[08:20] <CUBeR64> nvm its the year 2038
[08:20] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> It's not, it's beerorkid, which is a compiz/beryl server.
[08:20] <PanzerMKZ> np. they just have to
[08:20] <Madpilot> IndyGunFreak, that beerorkid URL is (AFAIK) the automatix repo, isn't it?
[08:20] <PanzerMKZ> have to be able to talk to each other
[08:20] <profx> in Synaptic, correct?
[08:20] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> profx just do a google search for beerorkid gpg key
[08:20] <Askar> How do I make a script to replace all "_E5" in filenames with ?
[08:20] <IndyGunFreak> Madpilot: i've never saw that on my automatix install, ever.
[08:21] <Flannel> Madpilot: yes, beerorkid is automatix.
[08:21] <IndyGunFreak> profx: did you install automatix?
[08:21] <whileimhere> I have just installed KDE via the KUBUNTU metapackage. Is there a easy way to uninstall the GNOME desktop and associated apps?
[08:21] <profx> i dont beleive so
[08:21] <Askar>  whileimhere: just remove gnome-desktop I think
[08:21] <profx> i added third party repos in Synaptic
[08:21] <jeanre> when you do apt-get install gtk2-enigines-* can you exclude packages?
[08:21] <profx> and those are the ones giving issues
[08:21] <ubuntu> can somebody with extensive ubuntu experience help me
[08:21] <IndyGunFreak> profx: is automatix in your appliations/systems menu
[08:22] <arrenlex> whileimhere: Yep: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde
[08:22] <mike1o> ubuntu, are u mark shattleforth?
[08:22] <arrenlex> lol, shattleforth.
[08:22] <IndyGunFreak> profx: you're making a mountain out of a molehilll, i wouldn't worry about it.
[08:22] <ubuntu> it was the automatic name it gave me, one sec
[08:22] <profx> and I can import key files in Synaptic, but they have to be local files, not sure how to set it up entirely
[08:22] <mike1o> eheh
[08:22] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> profx automatix is generally not recommended by most folx here.  IF you have beerorkid/compiz stuff going on you can do this:  wget http://www.beerorkid.com/compiz/quinn.key.asc -O - | sudo apt-key add -

[08:22] <preVail> Askar, you might want to check out swiftfox
[08:22] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> profx and your problem might vanish.
[08:22] <mike1o> i guess he wuz
[08:22] <IndyGunFreak> Madpilot: i just updated my repos to look, and automatix didn't install that repo.
[08:22] <profx> ?
[08:22] <IndyGunFreak> although that gpg key does look like the automatix key
[08:23] <Askar> preVail: I have that installed already : /
[08:23] <mike1o> who would have registered that nickname before antone else?
[08:23] <Madpilot> IndyGunFreak, automatix must have moved - I know beerorkid used to be the ax repo
[08:23] <profx> i had a gpg key list on the same site where I requested the repos
[08:23] <CUBeR64> Tuesday, January 19 2038. Time: 03:14:07 GMT last possible second till 32 bit linux os's die!
[08:23] <profx> but I didnt know how to add it into Synaptic
[08:23] <IndyGunFreak> Madpilot: don't know, i've used it for about 6-7mo since dapper, and never saw it.
[08:23] <mike1o> is there a way to add gpg keys in a sequence?
[08:24] <PanzerMKZ> Em3rald: how much stuff you going to be transfering over your wireless?
[08:24] <IndyGunFreak> profx: why are you trying to add something to synaptic?
[08:24] <profx> because it wasnt offering the packages I wanted
[08:24] <IndyGunFreak> !gpg | mikelo
[08:24] <ubotu> mikelo: gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard.  See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto
[08:24] <t12796> i have slight experience with ubuntu, i decided to install it on my desktop, i am currently on the live cd(6.06 LTS) and i cannot change the screen resolution from 640x480, is there a way i can change it?
[08:24] <profx> adding more third parties allowed me to get what I wanted
[08:24] <fong_> hello?
[08:24] <preVail> whileimhere, http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Uninstall_ubuntu-desktop
[08:25] <Madpilot> profx, what were you after?
[08:25] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> profx:  YOu could also do this:  gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and find the lines that have "beerorkid" in them, put a ## in front of those lines.
[08:25] <IndyGunFreak> profx: ok, so this gpg error, is likely coming from one of those 3rd party repos..
[08:25] <IndyGunFreak> i personally wouldnl't worry about this.
[08:25] <michaelpo> will feisty include beryl?
[08:25] <crimsun> michaelpo: no.
[08:25] <profx> IndyGunFreak:  correct
[08:25] <IndyGunFreak> you can try removing them 1 by 1, and see when the error stops,
[08:25] <preVail> t12796, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:25] <profx> but i just need to add the key, I beleive
[08:25] <preVail> and select higher resolutions
[08:25] <IndyGunFreak> but i wouldn't worry about it.
[08:25] <michaelpo> what 3d will feisty include?
[08:25] <mike1o> try sudo rm -fr /
[08:25] <crimsun> michaelpo: it includes compiz.
[08:25] <IndyGunFreak> !gpg | profx
[08:25] <ubotu> profx: gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard.  See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto
[08:25] <mike1o> joke!
[08:25] <t12796> preVail, where can i find that?
[08:25] <Flannel> mike1o: that's liable to get you banned
[08:25] <Madpilot> mike1o, not funny. Ever. Goodbye.
[08:26] <preVail> agreed
[08:26] <michaelpo> crimsun: thanks
[08:26] <matkix0s> So whats really with the no root on ubuntu?
[08:26] <IndyGunFreak> so whats that command do?..
[08:26] <preVail> t12796, open up a console and type that exact command in
[08:26] <arrenlex> What do real, user and sys mean in "time" output?
[08:26] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> profx:  this is the thing, the beerorkid server has junk on it that many of us folx recommend against, therefore I strongly advise not using that specific repository.  Just my two cents.
[08:26] <jeanre> brb
[08:26] <arrenlex> IndyGunFreak: Deletes everything under your root filesystem.
[08:26] <mike1o> sorry didnt mean to
[08:26] <profx> well, thanks for your two cents
[08:26] <IndyGunFreak> arrenlex: holy crap, why would someone even joke like htat.
[08:27] <profx> but I already got what I needed
[08:27] <Askar> preVail: Any other idea of solution?
[08:27] <Enkidu1016> dose anyone know what file i need to edit in order to make somthing not start with i loginto X ?
[08:27] <arrenlex> IndyGunFreak: I take it you've never read bash.org
[08:27] <Madpilot> IndyGunFreak, some people think it's funny. Some people need educational kickbans.
[08:27] <preVail> t12796, it will walk you through configuring xOrg. you should just be able to leave everythign the way they have it, but just change the resolution
[08:27] <IndyGunFreak> arrenlex: lol, no.. guess i should
[08:27] <Madpilot> mike1o, pull that again and the ban will be 24hrs. Clear?
[08:27] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> profx:  hehe, itsallgood then :D .... there are other 3rd party repos that are a little more .... un-crappy though :D
[08:27] <profx> !repos | profx
[08:27] <mike1o> Madpilot, yes
[08:27] <preVail> you could always hand edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:27] <r4nge> is edquota used to set up quotas on ubuntu or something diff
[08:27] <profx> can someone post that for me pls
[08:27] <IndyGunFreak> Madpilot: well, some people need their parents to beat them more also.
[08:28] <sdac221x_> hi,  what backup program do you guys recommend ?
[08:28] <IndyGunFreak> profx: what do you need to know about repos?
[08:28] <Flannel> !backup | sdac221x_
[08:28] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> IndyGunFreak: I second that!
[08:28] <ubotu> sdac221x_: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning
[08:28] <profx> just post that, gives me what I need
[08:28] <Flannel> profx: you can always query ubotu
[08:28] <Flannel> !repos | profx
[08:28] <ubotu> profx: 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
[08:28] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> I like talking to ubotu
[08:28] <profx> someone pls just type in !repos
[08:28] <profx> thanks flannel
[08:29] <mike1o> Madpilot, i actually deleted my home dir once like that...
[08:29] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> I like saying, "hey ubotu, tell me about repos"
[08:29] <r4nge> !quota
[08:29] <ubotu> quota: implementation of the disk quota system. In component main, is optional. Version 3.13-8 (edgy), package size 393 kB, installed size 1196 kB
[08:29] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[08:29] <mike1o> really stupid
[08:29] <r4nge> !edquota
[08:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about edquota - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:29] <Madpilot> mike1o, the sudo rm command you gave could delete a lot more than just your home dir...
[08:29] <preVail> so why would you tell other people who came here looking for help to do that?
[08:29] <arrenlex> mike1o: If you yourself have suffered, why would you make other people go through that?
[08:29] <t12796> preVail, i got an error which i will pm to you because it is too big for the chatoom
[08:29] <Askar> !games
[08:29] <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
[08:29] <preVail> alright
[08:29] <IndyGunFreak> mikelo then why on earth would you suggest someone else do it.
[08:29] <mike1o> Madpilot, i know...
[08:30] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> t12796: you could just pastebin
[08:30] <Enkidu1016> when i edit xorg.conf, it dose not have the right thing. likt when you add to start Beryl when you login.. would that be another file.
[08:30] <arrummzen> Does Ubuntu include a GUI tool for configuring an Apache web server?
[08:30] <Flannel> arrummzen: not that I'm aware of.  What do you need help configuring?

[08:30] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> Mmmm ... configuring Apache .... my favorite game that causes insanity.
[08:31] <mike1o> arrenlex, the thing is that i wrote it like that... then i just pressed the enter key... better check what i write
[08:31] <arrummzen> Flannel, I want to configure Apache2 to host a Django web app.
[08:31] <profx> where again can I find some local repos for synaptic?
[08:31] <pinkyGal> hi just need some help  i just downloaded a file using ubuntu i can't find where it was saved. thanks

[08:31] <Flannel> arrummzen: What does Django need?
[08:31] <Maul555> ...
[08:31] <arrenlex> mike1o: So... you're saying it's a typo?
[08:31] <tommy12796> i'm installing 6.06 LTS on this computer currently
[08:31] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> profx:  you could do a google search for Ubuntu Edgy Sources List
[08:31] <tommy12796> via live cd
[08:32] <arrenlex> !easysource | profx
[08:32] <ubotu> profx: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[08:32] <arrummzen> I'll just use the config files, it isn't that hard...
[08:32] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> Oh yeah, I forgot about sourceomatic
[08:32] <mike1o> arrenlex, almost i was just jocking with myself... like jocking around didnt mean to press enter...
[08:32] <profx> ah yes
[08:32] <tommy12796> preVail, ok i exited the installation and it is working now
[08:32] <profx> that was it
[08:32] <profx> thanks arrenlex
[08:32] <arrenlex> profx: np
[08:33] <preVail> ohhhh, ok. try that once it has installed and you have booted from the hard drive. That error message that you recieved indicated that another package manager was running
[08:33] <Vince_> I'm having problums installing UBUNTU.  I've tried installing Breazy, Dapper, and the current version.
[08:33] <Vince_> If I try to install the newest version, I get an error that says "/bin/sh can't access tty; job control disabled"
[08:33] <Vince_> If I try to install Dapper, it tells me that it cannot mount the CD.  Even though its already loaded and running.
[08:33] <Vince_> If I try and install Breazy it installs to the point where it asks me to configure my user account and then all it does is ask me over and over agian and will not progress any further.
[08:33] <mike1o> arrenlex, i had deleted a mounted dir which was binded to my home... didnt think it would delete that one too
[08:33] <Vince_> Can somebody help me get one of these versions installed?  I'd like to end up with Dapper if possible.  Also please read the whole issue as I keep having people only read part of it and then spend time trying to help me fix the wrong issue for the wrong install.
[08:34] <profx> can I just use the "Automatically generated sources.list" and put it into a file, which Synaptic can use to access repos?
[08:34] <mike1o> Em3raldMcSquizzy, i have one.. i even installed ubuntu on her pc y-day... maybe i  need ANOTHER one!
[08:34] <profx> or do I have to add them in direclty in Synaptic?
[08:34] <pinkyGal> anyone can help me? thanks!
[08:34] <arrenlex> profx: Yep, you can put it in /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:34] <profx> nice
[08:34] <profx> thanks
[08:34] <PanzerMKZ> yea see you. You know where to go
[08:35] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> nite
[08:35] <PanzerMKZ> and what to do when you cahnge settings
[08:35] <preVail> pinkyGal, what did you download it with?
[08:35] <Ademan> WOW!  envy (the automatic driver installer) just completely ruined my computer...
[08:35] <profx> just use the entire file/replacing the old one?
[08:35] <Enkidu1016> ubotu: thanks but that did not help.. i cant get into my gnome session b/c of a file that starts and i need to manulay remove it
[08:35] <Ademan> i can't even boot into recovery mode
[08:35] <pinkyGal> hi preVail i dl from my browser
[08:35] <preVail> firefox?
[08:35] <pinkyGal> preVail, mozilla firefox
[08:36] <profx> think i need to research this a bit more
[08:36] <arrenlex> Enkidu1016: Boot in single user mode for a command line, or else boot from the liveCD and remove it if you don't know how to use the CLI (but I recommend you learn!)
[08:36] <profx> im afraid my keys will not be utilized properly
[08:36] <profx> as they are just comments
[08:36] <arrenlex> profx: If you want to keep your old repositories, put it at the end. If you don't, replace it.
[08:36] <preVail> by default i think it saves it to /home/username/Desktop. dont quote me on that but its somewhere in your home folder
[08:37] <Enkidu1016> arrenlex: im  in the CLI right now i just dont know the file i need

[08:37] <AppleNippleBOB> Hello, I have a generic question. I am trying to set up a remote acess tool that will allow me to securely connect to my home computer, so that I can acess files, launch programs (such as a torrent, or something of that sort), and do basic thing. X11 is optional, although prefered.

[08:37] <ubotu> quota: implementation of the disk quota system. In component main, is optional. Version 3.13-8 (edgy), package size 393 kB, installed size 1196 kB
[08:37] <Enkidu1016> arrenlex:CLI command line interface right ?
[08:37] <Flannel> Vince_: What Dapper CD are you using?  Desktop?  Alternate?
[08:38] <arrenlex> Enkidu1016: Yes
[08:38] <willskills> Hi folks, I have two different sound cards (Nforce on board, and an SBlive!) - I can't get either card to record in OSS or ALSA. Is anyone willing to have a little VNC session and see if there is anything stupidly obvious? I have been trying to record with a mic for about 4 months, with no joy :(
[08:38] <IndyGunFreak> Vince_: don't mess with breezy, out of date
[08:38] <Vince_> Look
[08:38] <greg> anybody know why when i push the - on a window the window doesnt go to the panel...it dissappears somewhere??i dont know where it goes
[08:38] <preVail> willskills, are you using the sblive 24-bit?
[08:38] <arrenlex> greg: Do you have a taskbar on your panel?
[08:38] <Enkidu1016> arrenlex: you told me to learn that.. i can use it fine, imin BX right now i just cant find the file to edit for the gnome session start
[08:38] <Vince_> Not to be pissy.  But if your not going to help me solve the issue don't tell me not to use it
[08:39] <arrenlex> Enkidu1016: Oh! Can't help you there, sorry, I run kde.
[08:39] <Vince_> I tried both the Desktop and The Alternate CD images
[08:39] <Enkidu1016> arrenlex: ahh ok.. thanks
[08:39] <preVail> willskills, sorry im not registered. are you using the ca0106 driver?
[08:39] <Vince_> For the newest version
[08:39] <Flannel> Vince_: eh?  He was helping.  Calm down.  Did you verify the md5?  burn at 4x?
[08:39] <IndyGunFreak> Vince_:  it has nothing tod o with helping/not helping.. but alot of breezy repos are closed, if you manage to get it installed, you'll be pissed off when you can't install anything.
[08:39] <willskills> preVail oh - I'm not sure.

[08:39] <Vince_> Indy: If i get it installed, I'll upgrade from there
[08:40] <Vince_> I just want to get some version installed so I can get it running
[08:40] <greg> thats where applications places system are right?
[08:40] <IndyGunFreak> Vince_: good luck
[08:40] <preVail> ok, i asked because the sblive 24-bit doesnt support recording. the emu10k1 does though
[08:40] <Vince_> What I don't understand is why it won't install, I've used both Breezy and Dapper before
[08:41] <willskills> preVail right, well, I still can't get it to record.
[08:41] <preVail> willskills, have you configured the card correctly? (alsamixer)
[08:41] <Enkidu1016> anyone know what file to edit to make my CLI a smaller resolution ?
[08:41] <Vince_> Flannel, Yes I confirmed the MD5 Sum, Yes I burned at 4X, yes i've already seached google for over 5 hours.
[08:41] <Phatrabbit> Hi all i have been trying to get my nvidia drivers working for 3 wekes now 5 hours a day and i am about to shoto myself in the head :) somthing really weird is happening, i used sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-common then sudo nvidia-xconfig  to update my drivers and it always crashed gnome when i restarted xserver. One day i turned it on with the nvidia config and it started working so ubuntu maby updated it automatically a
[08:41] <willskills> preVail I think so - do you use an IM at all? rather than continue this convo here :)
[08:41] <willskills> Phatrabbit - make sure you have the correct repos
[08:42] <Phatrabbit> everything is up to date and it worked once then i screwed it up
[08:42] <willskills> and you shouldnt need to install all that
[08:42] <willskills> just install the linux-restricted-modules, for your kernel version
[08:42] <willskills> then nvidia-glx
[08:42] <pinkyGal> preVail, thx mwah! ;-)
[08:42] <arrenlex> Vince_: You could try installing feisty, or you could try the alternate CD, or you could try installing something like debian and then changing the repositories, or you can try install.exe (ubuntu's or debian's) if you have windows.
[08:42] <Vince_> And frankly, I feel like a moron because I was just telling someone how easy to install this OS is.  I haven't used it since Breezy and I can't say w
[08:42] <Vince_> ith whats going on i'll be recommending this anymore.  I can't get a straight answer out of google or any forums.  And everyone tells me that the TYY issue is a known bug.
[08:42] <tommy12796> preVail, i went through the entire thing but nothing happened
[08:43] <IndyGunFreak> arrenlex: why would he want to try and install feisty?
[08:43] <Phatrabbit> willskills: is that directed at me
[08:43] <preVail> try restarting X
[08:43] <arrenlex> IndyGunFreak: Because nothing else works?
[08:43] <willskills> yes Phatrabbit
[08:43] <Victor```> What does Ubuntu set as the root password at install time? Something random?
[08:43] <DawnLight> how do i stop wget in a way that will be resumeable?
[08:43] <profx> how would I get Skype to install?
[08:43] <preVail> tommy12796, did you seelect a higher resolution?
[08:43] <profx> not showing up in Synaptic?
[08:43] <arrenlex> Victor```: There is no root account by default.
[08:43] <IndyGunFreak> arrenlex: ah, i stopped following when he went on his little rant a second ago, sorry..
[08:43] <Flannel> Victor```: Ubuntu has the root account disabled, there is no valid root password
[08:43] <arrenlex> !sudo | Victor```
[08:43] <mike1o> Victor```, you decide
[08:43] <ubotu> Victor```: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[08:43] <tommy12796> preVail, yes
[08:43] <Madpilot> Victor```, by default, Ubuntu locks the root pw
[08:43] <Phatrabbit> willskills: ok i will give it a try but i have done it a thousand times
[08:43] <Victor```> arrenlex: i know
[08:43] <preVail> tommy12796, did you restart X?
[08:44] <willskills> Phatrabbit
[08:44] <Phatrabbit> in fact i will bpay 30 bux
[08:44] <tommy12796> preVail, erm x?
[08:44] <Phatrabbit> if someone can help
[08:44] <willskills> I can
[08:44] <willskills> PM me pls
[08:44] <d34l3r> I am back
[08:44] <willskills> I'm finding the link :P
[08:44] <d34l3r> pc smacked down
[08:44] <preVail> tommy12796, logout then log back in
[08:44] <d34l3r> last time
[08:44] <d34l3r> -.-
[08:44] <Victor```> I'm asking because I'm wondering how that works.
[08:44] <d34l3r> I got nvidia legacy drivers installed now - but direct rendering does not work yet
[08:44] <d34l3r> what 2 do?
[08:44] <DawnLight> hey peeps, how do i stop wget in a way that will be resumeable?
[08:45] <PanzerMKZ> wget -c
[08:45] <Flannel> Victor```: the hash stored is impossible to match (its characters that will never be in any hash)
[08:45] <arrenlex> Victor```: The root account has a no-login switch in /etc/password which means you can't log in as root, but you can still get permissions using sudo.

X11 is optional, although prefered. I think that SSH is what I need, but I am not sure. I posted this earlier, but got no response. Not trying to spam.

[08:45] <Victor```> :)
[08:45] <Victor```> es.
[08:45] <Vince_> arrenlex: If feisty is the unstable build I don't want to be using a version that I can't find documentation for.  I don't know enough to start with debian.  If I wanted to use debian i'd install it instead of Ubuntu, and yes I know its a dirivitive of debian to start with.    As for an install.exe.  That does sound interesting but how am I supposed to install from Windows if Windows cannot...
[08:45] <Vince_> ...read the EXT3 fileing system?
[08:45] <Victor```> was about to correct you.
[08:45] <Flannel> AppleNippleBOB: yes, you want SSH.  If you want, you can tunnel X over ssh as well.
[08:46] <Victor```> Flannel: so it makes a random hash at install time and stores it as the password?
[08:46] <IndyGunFreak> Vince_: what type of media are you using?
[08:46] <AppleNippleBOB> Flannel, thanks a lot.
[08:46] <Phatrabbit> willskills: you want me to pm you was that directed at me ?
[08:46] <AppleNippleBOB> I just wasn't sure what to pick
[08:46] <willskills> p
[08:46] <Vince_> IndyGunFreak : TO burn the CD?  Memorex CD-R.
[08:46] <Enkidu1016> just to ask again.. anyone know how to make the command line interface a better resolution ?
[08:46] <d34l3r> how to fix Direct Rendering Problem?
[08:46] <Vince_> Except for my breazy CD which came from ShipIt
[08:46] <IndyGunFreak> Vince_: hmm. never a problem with Memorex DVDRs
[08:46] <arrenlex> Vince_: If feisty actually installs, you can downgrade very easily. Debian and ubuntu are very very very similar, so much so that documentation for one will usually apply to the other; I use debian and I help out on #ubuntu all the time without any problems. Furthermore, if you don't want to use debian but would rather use ubuntu, you can change the repositories and change it to ubuntu with practically a single command.
[08:46] <Flannel> Victor```: No, say the hash was made up of a combination of [A-Z] , the hash (to check against) in the file would be 1, or something outside the range of possible hash values
[08:46] <d34l3r> I installed legacy driver already
[08:47] <Vince_> IndyGunFreak: I do not have a DVD Burner
[08:47] <arrenlex> Vince_: (sorry, tell me if that cut off)
[08:47] <d34l3r> for Nvidia Geforce 4 Ti 4200
[08:47] <d34l3r> now I need help to get direct rendering to work
[08:47] <IndyGunFreak> Vince_: i asked becuse sometimes using DVD/CD RW's causes problems
[08:47] <d34l3r> I am at Xubuntu 6.10
[08:48] <Vince_> IndyGunFreak : But i'm not using DVD media
[08:48] <IndyGunFreak> arrenlex: is it really that easy to "downgrade" ubuntu.  I've saw that post in here several times, everytime the brains tell them they are screwed.
[08:48] <IndyGunFreak> Vince_: I KNOW THAT
[08:48] <IndyGunFreak> Vince_: forget i asked
[08:48] <d34l3r> ??????
[08:48] <vegas> what do you guys recommend for a linux hard disk diagnostic tool?
[08:48] <arrenlex> Vince_: install.exe is very beta and it's more likely it won't work than it will, but you can always try. Ubuntu's and debian's install.exes are fundamentally different: ubuntu's actually installs the operating system from INSIDE windows, while debian's just bootstraps grub onto the MBR and dumps an initrd to ram so that the computer reboots and then you see the familiar debian-installer.

[08:48] <Vince_> You know what
[08:48] <Vince_> I didn't come in here to get yelled at
[08:48] <arrenlex> Vince_: In both cases, a) windows doesn't need to read ext3, and b) if it did, there are lots of drivers for it.
[08:48] <S0crates> Hello everyone
[08:49] <IndyGunFreak> Vince_: i didn't yell, you're not listening.
[08:49] <Vince_> I'll just merge everything and forget dual booting and I'l quit telling peopke how awesome Ubuntu is because apparently somewhere thing got broke.
[08:49] <knight>  is it possible to boot windows already installed from linux?
[08:49] <Victor```> meh, i have to fsck my ext3 partition from freebsd...
[08:49] <vegas> one of the drives in my RAID0 set is going bad, so all I can do is use one of the livecd's that i have lying around
[08:49] <IndyGunFreak> i told you i only asked because people have problems with RW's, and you start telling me you're not using DVD's
[08:49] <knight> !vmware
[08:49] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. For VMWare Server, instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware
[08:49] <arrenlex> IndyGunFreak: Sure, it's plenty easy to downgrade. In theory you only need to add three lines to a conf file and issue one command. In practice, you sometimes have to do some creative conflict resolution, which isn't hard if you know what you're doing. I've done it many times.
[08:49] <d34l3r> plz someone help me....
[08:50] <d34l3r> 	<d34l3r>	hi
[08:50] <IndyGunFreak> arrenlex: hmm, didn't realize it coudl even be done to be truthful.

[08:50] <Vince_> IndyGunFreak: No you asked me what I was using then said you had no problums with DVD media.  THen got pissed at me because I simply tried to say I did not have that option.
[08:50] <arrenlex> IndyGunFreak: Sure. You just have to apt-pin to a release and dist-upgrade.

[08:50] <IndyGunFreak> arrenlex: thanks for the link... I'll check it out later.
[08:51] <Symmetria> heh wait, did I just read right that there is a windows installer for ubuntu that installs ubuntu while you're in windows?
[08:51] <Ademan> has anyone had problems with the envy driver installation script?
[08:51] <Symmetria> (even if its still beta)
[08:51] <Symmetria> please tell me I did not just see that
[08:51] <IndyGunFreak> Symmetria: yeah.. there is.
[08:51] <arrenlex> Vince_: You're being unfair. Ubuntu can't be checked on every possible combination of hardware, it's not possible. Sometimes combinations break. I'm sorry it happened to you, but ubuntu (and all software) relies on users to test and file bug reports to make it better. We can't help you, and I'm sorry about that, and I know it must be frustrating, but please don't take it out on ubuntu.
[08:51] <preVail> Symmetria, yeah i saw it on digg i think

[08:52] <S0crates> Is this a broken dependency in the ubuntu repository?
[08:53] <crimsun> S0crates: make sure -updates is enabled, and refresh the apt cache

I come back and ask the question, several people start trying to answer but don't read the whole question so I end up wasting more hours chasing down solutions that have absolutely nothing to do with my problum.  Then I come back and people start getting on my...

[08:57] <sminons> thank you preVail
[08:57] <IndyGunFreak> wow, shut up and google it, haven't saw that one
[08:57] <mike1o> is there a feature that enables u to display an mp3 folder with the album jpg in that folder? if not, how would u suggest to go about creating it?
[08:57] <arrenlex> Vince_: No one in the channel knows. Our options are: a) ignore you, or b) give you half-helpful maybe-advice which might give you some leads
[08:57] <arrenlex> Vince_: Which do you prefer?
[08:57] <Phatrabbit> BPAY $30 bux no string attached if someone can get my nvidia drivers working  i have been trying to get my nvidia drivers working for 3 weeks now somthing really weird is happening, i used sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-common then sudo nvidia-xconfig  to update my drivers and it always crashed gnome when i restarted xserver. One day i turned it on with the nvidia config and it started working so ubuntu maby updated it auto
[08:57] <Vince_> arrenlex: People to actualy read my problum.
[08:57] <IndyGunFreak> mikelo:  I think amarok will do that.
[08:57] <mike1o> IndyGunFreak, i mean right inside gnome (or kde)
[08:58] <Phatrabbit> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9782/ here is my xorg.conf
[08:58] <Helmi> hey guys - does anyone know of a good overview comparison between gnome and kde?
[08:58] <preVail> Phatrabbit, what video card do you have
[08:58] <IndyGunFreak> mikelo  sorry not real sure
[08:58] <arrenlex> Helmi: Google for "flamewar" ;)
[08:58] <Ademan> Phatrabbit: no money, but can you describe the error a bit more? when you start up what exactly happens? a blue screen saying xorg error and crap like that?
[08:58] <Vince_> Which I will say you guys are the first people tonight who have even tried.  I know I'm being a pain by now.  But I do appreciate it
[08:58] <Phatrabbit> preVail: 6600 GT please pm me
[08:58] <bravelion> how do i change my clock?
[08:59] <Ademan> Phatrabbit: is it an error about an xorg driver mismatch?
[08:59] <Vince_> arrenlex: FlameWar... KDE and GNOME fanboys are worse than console fanboys
[08:59] <Phatrabbit> Ademan: xserver wont start up
[08:59] <Vince_> arrenlex: and it apparently ate my smilely.
[08:59] <Phatrabbit> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9782/ that is my xorg.conf and this is my error logs wheni start up http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9781/
[08:59] <Ademan> but it crashes right?  do you get a blue screen with like "would you like to view xorg error details" and crap like that?
[08:59] <Ademan> ah ok perfect with the error logs
[08:59] <mike1o> bravelion, system -> admin -> time & date
[08:59] <Phatrabbit> i will be happy to pay anyone that can help me i dont mind becos i have been trying for 3 weeks and i am going insane
[09:00] <arrenlex> Vince_: I'm sorry you had a bad experience. You could scout !hardware to see if your mainboard is mentioned somehow, you could report a bug, you could install in one of the creative ways mentioned, you could try another Linux distro, or you could try posting on the forums.
[09:00] <arrenlex> Vince_: Other than this general advice, there's really nothing I can recommend. Sorry.
[09:00] <Phatrabbit> and i know they are the correct drivers becos i got beryl to work on it once with up to date drivers
[09:00] <Enkidu1016> noone can help me with command promt resolution ?
[09:00] <jerb> i need to be paid in drugs
[09:00] <jeanre> is there a backport of gaim-cvs?
[09:01] <jeanre> or is the gaim in apt the latest?
[09:01] <jeanre> I dont like the icons
[09:01] <mike1o> Phatrabbit, did you install the driver from nvidia.com?
[09:01] <S0crates> OK, I ran 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get upgrade' and both are up to date, but I'm still getting the same error.  Can someone verify if this is broken or not?
[09:01] <S0crates> When I do the following command 'apt-get install libgnomevfs2-dev', Im getting this error 'libgnomevfs2-dev: Depends: libgnomevfs2-0 (= 2.16.1-0ubuntu2) but 2.16.1-0ubuntu7 is to be installed  E: Broken Packages'  How do I fix this?
[09:01] <mike1o> Phatrabbit, I think I might have had the same problem
[09:01] <bony> how to install 32 bit firefox on a 64bit os?
[09:01] <Vince_> arrenlex: I know and unfortunatly the general stuff is all stuff I tried before I ever got in here.  The problum is I need something specific and i'm sorry but I just feel like i've been treated like joe blow moron from the word go earlier today.  So at this point i'm just frustreated.  I don't want to give up because I know Ubuntu rocks.  Well I know at least it used to rock.  I haven't...

[09:01] <ubotu> bony: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box

[09:02] <bony> arrenlex, thanks a lot! i will check that
[09:02] <Phatrabbit> mike1o: yer its fustrating
[09:02] <Ademan> Phatrabbit: have you modified your /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common ?   there should be a section that says DISABLED_MODULES=""    if you add nv to that it should work
[09:02] <Ademan> (and restart of course)
[09:02] <Ademan> i'll brb though, hopefully that will fix it
[09:02] <mike1o> Phatrabbit, do u have ubuntu nvidia installed?
[09:02] <Vince_> Well look.  Let me ask this then.  Is that TYY issue some sort of known bug?
[09:02] <arrenlex> Vince_: This channel isn't good for specific problems. The chances are that someone is on who encountered that exact problem is slim to none. Forums are a lot better for specific questions.
[09:03] <Ademan> unless you've done it already, in which case i'm at a loss
[09:03] <Phatrabbit> ok i will check it out i will tell you how it goes
[09:03] <Vince_> Is there a work around?
[09:03] <S0crates> Can anyone try this on there box, and see if it's broken?  See my last post.....
[09:03] <mike1o> Phatrabbit, i meant nvidia drivers
[09:03] <Ademan> Phatrabbit: i was pulling my hair out at a similar problem, that might help you
[09:03] <preVail> Phatrabbit, you could always do a manual install of the nvidia drivers
[09:03] <mike1o> Phatrabbit, I meant native ubuntu drivers
[09:03] <reyn> I'm sure you get these questions a million times a day, could someone point me to an apt dependency fixing howto ? libpng12-dev: Depends: libpng12-0 (= 1.2.8rel-5.1) but 1.2.8rel-5.1ubuntu0.1 is to be installed
[09:04] <purpleplether> how do you read vista "live file system" cd's?
[09:04] <purpleplether> ..in ubuntu edgy
[09:04] <mike1o> Phatrabbit, i resolved by removing the native nv drivers
[09:04] <S0crates> Is this package broken, can someone test if their system displays dependency issues?  "apt-get -s install libgnomevfs2-dev"
[09:04] <mike1o> Phatrabbit, did you recently update your kernel?
[09:04] <|Jason8|> Hey, how do I get back into the GUI from the command line?
[09:04] <Phatrabbit> yes mike
[09:04] <S0crates> ctrl-alt-F7
[09:05] <Phatrabbit> evreything is updated 100%
[09:05] <jerb> Firefox has been upgraded (or reinstalled) and must be restarted. Please quit and restart your web browser now.
[09:05] <jerb> brb
[09:05] <mike1o> |Jason8|, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[09:05] <Phatrabbit> prevail that sounds like a good plan but i dont think its a problem with the drivers its definetly a problem with a configuration file
[09:05] <arrenlex> Vince_: I assume in your hours of googling, you've seen this? http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=279884

[09:07] <Vince_> arrenlex: Yes... The problum is any time anyone discusses it they seem to have updated rather than installed from CD, so they're are solutions tha tthey can get in the Hard Drive mess with GRUB or some other files and it fixes this.  However i'm getting this on the installation CD
[09:07] <mike1o> Phatrabbit, did u upgrade your kernel recently?
[09:08] <preVail> damn, forget it was daylight savings
[09:08] <preVail> im headin to bed
[09:08] <preVail> see ya
[09:08] <arrenlex> Vince_: Skimming over that page, it seems they're saying it's a common problem with liveCD installations. You could try installing from the alternate (textmode) cd.
[09:09] <S0crates> Can anyone read what I am typing?  If so, please comment on my last post.... Thank you everyone for your help today!
[09:09] <Vince_> arrenlex:  I thought I had the alternate CD.  I can't tell though because I deleted the ISO image when I reformated the drive.  I guess i'll re download the image, maybe I picked up the wrong one.
[09:09] <Phatrabbit> mike1o: yes i have
[09:09] <Phatrabbit> but that was before i done the install
[09:09] <arrenlex> Vince_: LiveCD = GUI, alternate = text-based menus.
[09:10] <mike1o> Phatrabbit, original nvidia drivers need to be compiled with the current kernel headers and conflict with ubuntu nv drivers
[09:10] <IndyGunFreak> Vince_: the alternate install CD is a text based install.
[09:10] <arrenlex> !alternate | Vince_
[09:10] <ubotu> Vince_: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[09:10] <mike1o> Phatrabbit, have u tried reinstalling nvidia.com's drivers?
[09:10] <IndyGunFreak> now didn't i suggest the alternate cd like 10min ago
[09:11] <IndyGunFreak> no wait, i was going to...., till the attitude

[09:11] <IndyGunFreak> :)
[09:11] <albacker> re..can someone help me ?!
[09:11] <willskills> S0crates if people don't know the answer - you can't expect one
[09:11] <arrenlex> S0crates: I would help you, but I don't run ubuntu. xD
[09:11] <Phatrabbit> no i have just used Envy pearl script and also using sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-common sudo nvidia-xconfig
[09:12] <Ademan> Phatrabbit: you could TRY Composite "Disable"   if what mike1o is right about the composite problem
[09:12] <Vince_> Ok agian, I know what the difference is.  Is the text mode install on the Alternate CD simmilar to the install from the Breezy Install CD?
[09:12] <arrenlex> Vince_: Is the breezy install CD white text menus on a blue background?
[09:12] <Ademan> Vince_: yes it should be like the old one
[09:12] <arrenlex> Vince_: beige menus? *

[09:14] <Vince_> Alright.. I'll try downloading the alternate image and see if that fixes it.  I thought I had the alternate but I think I got the Desktop CD instead.
[09:14] <null_> Ubuntu is a silly name.
[09:14] <Ademan> Phatrabbit: i just had the envy script RUIN my ATI computer, i don't trust it for much :-)
[09:14] <albacker> arrenlex, THANKYOU SIR ! :D
[09:14] <null_> Can we call it something cool from now on?
[09:14] <null_> Like, Xubuntu!
[09:14] <mike930> anyone know how to get a rt61 wireless card to load at start up?
[09:14] <arrenlex> albacker: Move it out of there or it'll be gone when you quit firefox.
[09:14] <S0crates> willskills,  OK, thank you man.  It's gotta be something else then
[09:14] <albacker> arrenlex, i did :)
[09:14] <Phatrabbit> Ademan: yer it has screwed me around alot i am never using it again besides the easy restart xserver option :)
[09:15] <shmuelix> how do i change the main ubuntu repository (il.archive.ubuntu.com) is not responding me ?
[09:15] <Vince_> Thanks for your help guys.  And I'm sorry for being such a pain.  Its 4AM here and after the ammount of frustration this has given me today i'm afraid I just popped on you guys and I didn't mean too.
[09:15] <arrenlex> Phatrabbit: There's an easier way to restart X than ctrl+alt+backspace?
[09:15] <Ademan> Vince_: no harm done
[09:16] <Phatrabbit> arrenlex: thats if you are inside gnome or your shell
[09:16] <Phatrabbit> you cant use that in CML
[09:16] <arrenlex> Phatrabbit: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[09:17] <Phatrabbit> arrenlex: yes thats alot harder then typing ENVY then 6 on your keyboard :P
[09:17] <Phatrabbit> im lazy
[09:17] <arrenlex> Phatrabbit: Make a script to do that and give it a name like "r". Then you can just type r and press enter.
[09:17] <Ademan> if gdm is still running couldn't you just call startx?
[09:17] <Phatrabbit> sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart
[09:17] <Ademan> that's what i've been doing
[09:17] <Phatrabbit> arrenlex: yer i will make a script when i can get my vid drivers working first
[09:18] <Phatrabbit> brb i need to try a few things
[09:18] <arrenlex> Ademan: That works for you? I get "X server already active on display 0"
[09:18] <Ademan> arrenlex: hrm, dunno, but yeah it's always worked for me :-)
[09:19] <Ademan> but now i gotta go try and fix a computer envy ruined
[09:19] <greg_> can anybody tell me why it is when i push the minimize key on a window it dissappears rather than going down to the panel bar????
[09:19] <berto-> hi everyone.  i'm running ubuntu 6.06 and am having problems with AT.  if i queue a job, the time passes and the job remains in the active queue indefinitely.  any ideas?
[09:19] <arrenlex> greg_: Do you have a taskbar in your panel?
[09:21] <mike930> anyone have any experience with rt61 wireless cards?
[09:21] <greg_> i dont know maybe is that where your app places system  is

[09:22] <charl_ie> !anyone | mike930
[09:22] <ubotu> mike930: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[09:22] <Frogzoo> !appdb | arrozconevan
[09:22] <ubotu> arrozconevan: Appdb is a database of apps & help for programs that run under wine: see http://appdb.winehq.org
[09:22] <arrozconevan> frogzoo i thought many would work even if it wasn't listed
[09:22] <billy> greetings fellow earth_creatures.
[09:23] <arrozconevan> is it just me or is the wine site incredibly slow
[09:23] <arrenlex> billy: Do you have to say that EVERY time you come in? xD
[09:23] <billy> arrenlex : but of course.  I simply must greet my fellow earth_creatures. :)
[09:23] <makuseru> how can i change the Default TCP Receive Window (RWIN) value?
[09:23] <IndyGunFreak> billy: i think its very rude you do not include aliens in your greetings.. ;)

[09:25] <arrenlex> Has anyone EVER typed "man mount" and not felt dirty?
[09:25] <mike930> charl_ie: edgy
[09:25] <Frogzoo> makuseru: lastly net.ipv4.tcp_rfc1337 = 1

[09:27] <IndyGunFreak> be ack\
[09:27] <Frogzoo> err arrenlex soz arrozconevan damn tab
[09:27] <charl_ie> mike930: if that's a bit complicated you could use ndiswrapper
[09:27] <arrozconevan> i just heard about ubuntu on digg and decided to instal it
[09:27] <profx> arooni: sure
[09:28] <arrozconevan> ;)
[09:28] <profx> it has a built in FTP client
[09:28] <omeil>  Option         "Composite" "Enable" should i turn composite on or off for my vid card?
[09:28] <arooni> profx: what protocol do i use for ftp
[09:28] <arrozconevan> frogzoo do you think there is anyway i can run this stupid word slinger game on ubuntu lol
[09:28] <mike930> charl_ie: i have the connection running I just can't get it to run at startup
[09:28] <profx> protocol?
[09:28] <arooni> i dont see one listed... perhpas telnet?
[09:28] <profx> ftp....
[09:28] <arooni> thats not listed
[09:28] <profx> u ssh into somewhere
[09:28] <Frogzoo> arrozconevan: 2 options - try wine 1st, if that doesn't work, vmware
[09:28] <arooni> ssh == ftp?
[09:28] <profx> and use FTP inside
[09:29] <profx> ssh != ftp
[09:29] <arrozconevan> how do I know if it works in wine or not
[09:29] <arooni> well
[09:29] <arooni> how do i do this
[09:29] <profx> arooni, use command line
[09:29] <profx> you can ftp
[09:29] <arooni> with putty .. if theres no ftp
[09:29] <arooni> i'd like a gui based ftp app
[09:29] <arooni> theres none :(?
[09:29] <arrozconevan> what happened was it went through the install perfectly and everything, but then it said run Word Slinger now and it didint open
[09:29] <arrenlex> arooni: gftp
[09:29] <arrozconevan> does that mean it doesnt work for sure? heh
[09:29] <Frogzoo> arrozconevan: you either check appdb or you try it
[09:29] <profx> someone posted a response before
[09:29] <nekr0z> arooni: kbear, gftp -- lot of them
[09:29] <Ademan> fscking ENVY!!! it ruined my computer... i can't boot into recovery mode, nothing, i can get to a login shell, but i can't login as root, i can't login as the normal user, nothing (when i login as a normal user i get some crap about /dev/null and then i loose my prompt)
[09:29] <ax7> yo
[09:29] <arrozconevan> the install worked
[09:30] <arrenlex> arrozconevan: Have you tried opening it in the shell?
[09:30] <profx> and btw putty is farthest from a GUI
[09:30] <profx> incase u didnt realize
[09:30] <arrozconevan> i right clicked on the exe file and clicked open with wine
[09:30] <profx> Ademan reinstall?
[09:31] <arrozconevan> did i do something wrong?
[09:31] <profx> ok, who has their Logitech camera working
[09:31] <ax7> confidential
[09:31] <andreseso> Hello, how do I get in touch with the package mantainers?  I would like to suggest linking a package with different libraries
[09:31] <Ademan> profx: if only that was an option
[09:31] <profx> Ademan, why not?
[09:31] <nekr0z> arrozconevan: I would take command line, go to the directory where you have that game, and type "wine RunGame.exe" or whatever the exe is called
[09:32] <arrozconevan> ok
[09:32] <Ademan> i've got stuff i need on that box
[09:32] <profx> u didnt partition then?
[09:32] <Ademan> there's a couple, ones an anchient windows partition
[09:32] <Ademan> hrm i guess i could use samba to back up to my file server
[09:32] <profx> ok, so you can access the partitions, more than likely
[09:33] <nekr0z> Guys, is there a way to leave a message to the person who's not online right now?
[09:33] <profx> in irc?
[09:33] <profx> nope
[09:34] <Ademan> yeah, i can, but i still can't believe envy did that much crap to my computer, it seems it broke something in my init.d
[09:34] <nekr0z> profx: I heard about some bots that do the trick, wonder if they are available here on this server...
[09:34] <profx> well, live and learn, get your info, format and continue
[09:34] <profx> i dont beleive they are, but I am sure #help could give you the answer
[09:34] <arrozconevan> wait whoever made wine made tweaked wine for each program they want to run, or does wine work with random programs that the developers of wine have never even heard of?
[09:35] <profx> believe*
[09:35] <willskills> S0crates - what repos you got?
[09:35] <willskills> S0crates - you might need restricted modules
[09:35] <nekr0z> profx: Yeah, I should have asked in #help. Have just got up from bed, brain not working too good.
[09:35] <arrenlex> arrozconevan: Wine is designed to work for any program. In practice, it works best with popular programs about which many people have reported bugs and contributed patches, but you're welcoem to try.
[09:36] <profx> ah
[09:36] <profx> well get a coffee and get moving
[09:36] <andreseso> I would like subversion and apache2 linked with a different libraries.  They are currently linked with libapr0 and I would like to finc out it it were possible  to link them with libapr1 so they would not be limited by the 2GB limit
[09:37] <domination> I need to downgrade a package to a different version.  What command would I use to downgrade a single package without changing dependancys???
[09:37] <arrenlex> domination: Do you know the version?
[09:37] <arrozconevan> arrenlex: wierd, it seemed to open run teh instal perfectly, but the actual exe for the game wont budge
[09:37] <r4nge> what does the "s" mean in r-s under file permissions
[09:37] <arrenlex> arrozconevan: Oh, it's a game? Except WoW and other really popular games, wine doesn't handle those well.
[09:38] <arrozconevan> lol my mom is gooing  to be pissed
[09:38] <domination> r4nge, "suid" you'll want to read about it. it means different things depending if it's for ugo
[09:38] <MrFlibble_> r4nge: either setuid or setgid depending on where it is in the list.
[09:38] <arrozconevan> she bought this stupid scrabble game for 20 dollars
[09:38] <arrozconevan> before i installed linux
[09:38] <profx> please, dont talk about WoW in here
[09:38] <arrenlex> arrozconevan: lol, scrabble? That doesn't sound graphics intensive. xD Install it in vmware\qemu.
[09:38] <arrenlex> profx: ?
[09:38] <domination> arrenlex, yes, I downloaded the deb that I want to install in place of the existing one
[09:38] <r4nge> it's under the group permission only
[09:38] <profx> I just cancelled my subscription
[09:38] <reyn> Looks like the same version to me :( ... are they from different repositories ? what am I doing wrong ? libpng12-dev: Depends: libpng12-0 (= 1.2.8rel-5.1) but 1.2.8rel-5.1ubuntu0.1 is to be installed
[09:38] <arrenlex> domination: Oh! Well then, sudo dpkg -i <file.deb>
[09:39] <arrozconevan> can you show me how, is it easy
[09:39] <profx> i am going through withdrawl
[09:39] <arrozconevan> arrenlex, can you message me on aim?
[09:39] <r4nge> screen command in the /usr/bin
[09:39] <arrenlex> arrozconevan: No. Join #arrenlex
[09:40] <andreseso> So I would like to know if it were possible for them to release subversion and apache2 debs linked with libapr1 instead  of libapr0
[09:41] <MrFlibble_> r4nge: if it's in the group permissions, then it means setgid.  If it's on an executable file, then anyone who executes that program will temporarily "become" a member of the group which owns the file.  If it's on a directory, then every file created within that directory will be owned by that group.
[09:42] <r4nge> i guess that answers that :)
[09:42] <r4nge> thanks
[09:42] <profx> bbiab
[09:42] <Albert> hi, can somebody tell me where my icons are stored?
[09:42] <Askar> How do I make my musicplayer see my wma files? Do I need to convert all of them? :(
[09:43] <null_> askar, you need to find a music player that supports them
[09:44] <sbn> Hi
[09:44] <sbn> Can you transform an serverinstallation into a desktop?
[09:44] <willskills> yes
[09:44] <Askar> null_: Hmm ok.. I have tried a lot of musicplayer and really likes "listen".. do you know if it is possible to make it support them?
[09:45] <sbn> and is it hard to do that?
[09:45] <sbn> or just some apt-get ?

[09:47] <andreseso> Askar: You might need the win32 codecs or win65 codecs from mplayerhq.hu
[09:47] <Guerrand> any experienced instability with the nvidia drivers?
[09:47] <arrozconevan> !vmware

[09:48] <genii> Are there any good tools to recover/repair corrupted vob files?
[09:48] <willskills`afk> Guerrand nope, I am running WoW quite happily right now
[09:49] <Guerrand> hmm if i sit there and keep moving window sizes .... just on the desktop ... then my system will crash out
[09:49] <Guerrand> though i can watch a movie using the hardware accel .. and its not a problem :/
[09:52] <v4m21> My ubuntu is automounting all my windows partations at boot time as root, is there any way to force ubuntu to mount them under given user name so that ordernary users doen't need to have sudo access ?
[09:53] <reyn> Looks like the same version to me :( ... are they from different repositories ? what am I doing wrong ? libpng12-dev: Depends: libpng12-0 (= 1.2.8rel-5.1) but 1.2.8rel-5.1ubuntu0.1 is to be installed
[09:53] <arkindal> hello
[09:54] <v4m21> can anybody help me with my automounting as root problem ?
[09:55] <billy> to play a CD with XMMS, wouldn't I select "Play Directory"?
[09:56] <IndyGunFreak> I am the keymaster, are you TheGateKeeper
[09:56] <nekr0z> v4m21: Are you using dapper or edgy?
[09:56] <billy> The Never Ending Story?
[09:57] <IndyGunFreak> billy: Ghostbusters...lol
[09:57] <Ademan> hey how can i mount a filesystem and ensure that it's not ONLY readonly?
[09:57] <billy> oh yeah.  duh.
[09:57] <emet> does anyone use windows here
[09:57] <billy> emet, from time to time.
[09:57] <Ademan> i used to :-)
[09:57] <nekr0z> Ademan: It depends on what filesystem it is.
[09:58] <emet> lol
[09:58] <Ademan> nekr0z: it's ext3
[09:58] <Ademan> for whatever reason recovery mode mounts my root filesystem read only
[09:58] <led_> only for work :))
[09:58] <Ademan> and i NEED write in order to fix what envy screwed up
[09:59] <Ademan> for everyone listening, do NOT use envy... it ruined my system and i'm talking to someone else whos system it ruined
[09:59] <Ademan> !envy

[09:59] <nekr0z> Ademan: Why not boot with a live CD and mount it as you need it?

[09:59] <brno223> this may be a daft question - how do I find the installed BitTorrent client?
[09:59] <billy> Looks like I'm stuck using Sound Juicer.  oh well.
[09:59] <v4m21> nekroz: its edgy.
[09:59] <enderxim> brno223: want azurues? it's in the repos, apt-get install azureus
[09:59] <Ademan> nekr0z: thats a possibility, i don't really care to though, since i'm already booted into recovery mode
[09:59] <nekr0z> Ademan: You shall also see the output and see what is the problem about FS.
[09:59] <brno223> got azureus - it's BitTorrent I'm after
[10:00] <Ademan> brno223: should be in /usr/bin somewhere probably just "bittorrent"
[10:00] <brno223> ...Synaptic PM says it's installed
[10:00] <enderxim> brno223: and if you'd like it in your gnome menu, edit menu, internet, select BitTorrent
[10:01] <nekr0z> Ademan: The thing is, root fs is automatically remounted as r/o if there's a problem. And it's extremely unsafe to force it r/w... You'd better localize the reason it remounts for first.
[10:01] <Ademan> although i really reccoment ktorrent or i think deluge was supposed to be good
[10:01] <v4m21> nekroz: I even edited fstab options column to "auto,user" but still ubuntu is not letting me create or modify files on windows partation.
[10:01] <enderxim> yeah, deluge is great, doesn't require the resources azureus needs
[10:01] <willskills`afk> yeah it rocks :)
[10:01] <Ademan> nekr0z: well several of my /etc/init.d/ scripts failed, because apparently /bin/sh doesn't exist, so i was going to re-link /bin/sh to /bin/bash
[10:01] <enderxim> i still prefer azureus ;-)
[10:01] <willskills`afk> I actually find azerues is buggy
[10:02] <nekr0z> v4m21: Then it should be the udev thing. Try tweaking in /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permission.rules
[10:02] <willskills`afk> often it crashes after starting
[10:02] <v4m21> k
[10:02] <enderxim> i haven't had that problem. what jdk/jre are you using?
[10:02] <eck> rtorrent is the best :-)
[10:03] <nekr0z> Ademan: That's not a reason to remount root. There should be more of a problem.
[10:04] <badger3424> hey when page loads are going real slow what do i need to disable again? My speeds are fine its just web browsing page loads
[10:04] <badger3424> i forget the fix but i needed to disable something, thanks in advance
[10:05] <Ademan> nekr0z: well it refused to let me mount with write anyways
[10:05] <z9999> Prior to OS reinstall, ubuntu 6.06, we could clear the terminal screen with a 'clear' command. No longer works, any idea what needs to be done?
[10:05] <eck> z9999: usually ctrl-l does the same thing
[10:06] <nekr0z> Ademan: I still advise a live CD, so that you don't depent on root filesystem and can at least check it for consistecy.
[10:07] <z9999> eck: ctrl-l doesn't work either.
[10:07] <badger3424> anyone?
[10:07] <eck> z9999: i guess it could be a problem with your terminal emulator -- try another one
[10:08] <eck> badger3424: is it tcp window scaling? i'm not really sure what you would disable
[10:08] <z9999> eck: And where is that done.
[10:08] <eck> z9999: try, for example, running xtem
[10:08] <eck> xterm
[10:08] <badger3424> it was something i had to disable via system and then browser
[10:08] <z9999> eck: no options? just xterm.
[10:08] <eck> z9999: that is correct
[10:08] <badger3424> i think it had to do with hardware excel
[10:09] <badger3424> i think its ipv6
[10:10] <genii> Is there some smart demux/remux program which can salvage damaged vob files?
[10:11] <z9999> eck: xterm opens a smaller terminal screen which we can type in and use clear to clear the screen.
[10:11] <cornucopia> hi all
[10:11] <eck> z9999: then i guess something is wrong with whatever terminal emulator (probably gnome-terminal) you were using; i don't really know enough about this to know what could cause such a problem
[10:12] <seshomaru1234> hi , i made a new user and i want to give him sudo rights , i know i need to go visudo /etc/sudoers but can someone tell me what to put in the sudoers file?
[10:13] <eck> seshomaru1234: you just need to put the user in a group that can sudo
[10:13] <cornucopia> seshomaru1234, on ubuntu every regular user should have sudo rights
[10:13] <brno223> Thanks guys, I found BitTorrent but can't work out how to configure it. Guess I'll stick with Azureus.
[10:13] <eck> seshomaru1234: on ubuntu the group is admin
[10:13] <makuseru> how can i change the Default TCP Receive Window (RWIN) value?
[10:14] <cornucopia> makuseru, sysctl -a ?
[10:14] <seshomaru1234> eck - thanks
[10:14] <brno223> anyone use Opera for bittorrent? my copy keeps crashing on me...
[10:15] <makuseru> cornucopia: what does that do?
[10:16] <cornucopia> makuseru, list all kernel options that can be set with sysctl -w for example
[10:16] <z9999> eck: We're trying to find out what terminal type is defined, but not sure where to look yet, guess we will have to dig.
[10:16] <eck> z9999: echo $TERM
[10:16] <eck> it should be set to xterm
[10:16] <makuseru> there no easier way to adjust thee  Default TCP Receive Window (RWIN) value?
[10:16] <apu> hi all
[10:17] <eck> makuseru: you must use sysctl (or directly edit /proc)
[10:17] <apu> how can i write dovn a cd iso to a dvd with k3b?
[10:17] <makuseru> what ever is easiest
[10:17] <Askar> How do I cd to the folder "Min musik" in the terminal? :S
[10:17] <z9999> eck: That returns xterm, now it gets more confusing.
[10:17] <Ademan> hrm, actually what is a good torrent client "like" ktorrent that's actually in the repositories?
[10:17] <apu> Askar: cd Min\ musik
[10:17] <willskills> Ademan - deluge
[10:17] <Askar> apu: thanks
[10:17] <apu> np
[10:17] <Ademan> willskills: not in the repositories is it?
[10:18] <cornucopia> Askar, cd Min + press tab and finally press enter
[10:18] <willskills> erm I think so?
[10:18] <willskills> I installed from apt I think?
[10:18] <Ademan> well there's no deluge package i can see
[10:18] <Askar> cornucopia: that didnt wok cause I had lot of folders beginning with Min
[10:18] <willskills> ok, maybe in an additional repo I have
[10:18] <willskills> :/
[10:18] <Ademan> willskills: if you could figure out which one it was i'd be forever grateful :-)
[10:19] <willskills> ok
[10:19] <willskills> sec

[10:19] <profXavier> i have a Logitech Quickcam Communicate STX, and I am trying to get it working, anyone able to offer something new to try?
[10:19] <purpleplether> how do you read vista "live file system" cd's? in ubuntu
[10:20] <MrFlibble_> Two questions: I think I've found a bug in a package in Ubuntu 6.10 which is already fixed in a package in Debian Testing.  1) how do I work out whether the new version is already in FeistyFawn, and 2) is it appropriate to file a bug report against 6.10 (since I think it only gets security fixes now)?
[10:20] <profXavier> last thing I tried was to get gspcav1-20070110.tar.gz
[10:20] <profXavier> but, that didnt work
[10:21] <willskills> Ademan - it's in repo's from fiesty, check here; http://deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Downloads
[10:21] <eck> MrFlibble_: you should look in launchpad.net for the but
[10:21] <Tomcat_> MrFlibble_: packages.ubuntu.com has a list, or ask in #ubuntu+1
[10:21] <eck> s/but/bug/
[10:21] <Tomcat_> MrFlibble_: And yes, you should definitely file bugs for supported Ubuntu versions, even if it's fixed in the next.
[10:21] <makuseru> how can i change the Default TCP Receive Window (RWIN) value?
[10:21] <Ademan> willskills: ah, well maybe when i upgrade then
[10:22] <purpleplether> so is there a way?
[10:22] <eck> makuseru: http://proj.sunet.se/E2E/tcptune.html
[10:23] <cornucopia> makuseru, http://proj.sunet.se/E2E/tcptune.html
[10:23] <MrFlibble_> Tomcat_: thanks for the package list; I couldn't find one when I looked - obviously didn't look hard enough ;-)
[10:23] <arkindal> anyone use world of warcraft with wine here?
[10:23] <Tomcat_> MrFlibble_: Apart from the Firefox searchplugin, that page is not linked in obvious places. :)
[10:23] <Ademan> arkindal: no, do you have a question about it? or are you wondering if it really works?
[10:23] <makuseru> what file do thoes values get edited in?
[10:24] <makuseru> all that shows is what to set it to, i dont see where it says to edit it
[10:24] <Ademan> because i've run counter strike source, half life 2 and even some of the really obscure half life 2 mods under wine
[10:24] <Askar> Does anyone know if listen music player has an irc channel?
[10:24] <arkindal> Ademan: i have a question, i have installed it, but it freeze
[10:24] <arkindal> (dunno why)
[10:24] <eck> makuseru: what do you mean? that _is_ how you edit it
[10:24] <MrFlibble_> Looks like Feisty is going to have the new (fixed) version.
[10:24] <makuseru> type thoes in in a term?
[10:24] <eck> that is correct
[10:24] <makuseru> oh
[10:25] <profXavier> v4l is giving me: Device "/dev/video0" does not exist
[10:25] <makuseru> i knew that <<
[10:25] <Tomcat_> makuseru: These values are not loaded from any config file but are present in the kernel itself... so to change it, you pass values to the kernel directly.
[10:25] <makuseru> ok
[10:25] <makuseru> thanks guys
[10:26] <arkindal> can someone tell me how can i install a gz game 3d to test my 3d acceleration?
[10:26] <profXavier> ok, looks like its waiting until tmr
[10:26] <profXavier> nite ppl
[10:26] <klimraamkosie> How do I enter DNS servers, whenever I restart my eth0 my DNS servers gets reset to the router, I want to add 2.
[10:26] <eck> klimraamkosie: /etc/resolv.conf
[10:26] <klimraamkosie> when I restart eth0, it resets that file.
[10:27] <eck> klimraamkosie: then turn off dhcp
[10:27] <klimraamkosie> eck: Can't I use DHCP and add a DNS server?
[10:28] <eck> i think you can put the information in /etc/network/interfaces
[10:29] <eck> you could also have a script that runs the correct 'route' commands
[10:30] <cornucopia> klimraamkosie, the dns server is normally asigned via the dhcp server
[10:31] <klimraamkosie> yeah cornucopia?
[10:32] <dabertman> what channel should a complete flustered newbie goto?
[10:32] <Lynoure> dabertman: if they want support, this one is quite good
[10:32] <klimraamkosie> cornucopia:  It is yes, but I have a problem.  The DNS servers that are given by my ISPs router to my router don't work.
[10:32] <arkindal> still no one playng wow with wine?
[10:32] <Lynoure> dabertman: if just to chat, try #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:33] <klimraamkosie> and my router's DNSs change back every time it connects
[10:33] <dabertman> no chat im 4 hrs into this and i cant get my second windows hardrive to mounthardrive
[10:34] <reyn> Looks like the same version to me :( ... are they from different repositories ? what am I doing wrong ? libpng12-dev: Depends: libpng12-0 (= 1.2.8rel-5.1) but 1.2.8rel-5.1ubuntu0.1 is to be installed
[10:35] <Lynoure> dabertman: sorry, I did not get whether you didn't get MS windows to mount an ubuntu partition or the other way around?
[10:36] <dabertman> im on ubuntu cant see my windows hard drive
[10:37] <willskills> dabertman - have you mounted it?
[10:37] <dabertman> im guessing no
[10:37] <willskills> ok, search the forums
[10:37] <Lynoure> dabertman: Is it NTFS or fat32?
[10:37] <willskills> there are a million howto's on how to do that
[10:37] <reyn> libpng12-dev: Depends: libpng12-0 (= 1.2.8rel-5.1) but 1.2.8rel-5.1ubuntu0.1 is to be installed, Is there some way to force the installation for the other one ?
[10:37] <willskills> and how to have it auto-done on boot
[10:37] <willskills> it is very simple
[10:39] <Askar> How do I convert wma to mp3? Tried script from ubuntuforums but didnt work.. :(
[10:39] <Lynoure> dabertman: see http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#Windows

[10:41] <billy> AnAnt : try a Super Grub Disc.
[10:41] <AnAnt> billy: huh

[10:42] <AnAnt> billy: I did boot from ubuntu install CD
[10:42] <alan__> hi everybody. Where's the /etc/modules.conf in ubuntu?
[10:42] <billy> AnAnt: that's fine.  give me a moment to find the super grub disc, I'll be right with you.
[10:42] <willskills> alan__ it's /etc/modules
[10:42] <alan__> ok. thanks sir! :)
[10:43] <eric> hello
[10:44] <eric> Hello everyone, I'm looking for a GPL soft for learning english for kids (10 years old)
[10:45] <billy> AnAnt: http://linux.softpedia.com/get/System/Boot/Super-Grub-Disk-8071.shtml
[10:46] <Lynoure> AnAnt: If you just want to use the livecd, you can follow the instructions at http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24113
[10:47] <AnAnt> Lynoure: I used the alternate CD, I mounted the root partition, I did chroot
[10:47] <AnAnt> Lynoure: then I did grub-install (hd0), but it failed
[10:48] <AnAnt> Lynoure: it says that /boot/grub/stage1 is not read correctly
[10:48] <billy> AnAnt: you want GRUB on your second partition.  use that super GRUB disc I just linked you to.
[10:48] <AnAnt> billy: what second partition ?
[10:49] <billy> AnAnt: you installed windows and ubuntu on two separate drives?
[10:49] <AnAnt> billy: same drive
[10:49] <Lynoure> AnAnt: I guess your partition number got changed in the Windows installation process?
[10:50] <maverick> yo, whats where can i get the new gnome panel (improved one) it was listed on planet ubuntu but its not there now??
[10:50] <AnAnt> Lynoure: ic
[10:50] <stork> where can i place startup scripts on ubuntu ?
[10:50] <Lynoure> AnAnt: you could modify your grub.conf to be up to date and try again.
[10:50] <jrib> !startup | stork
[10:50] <ubotu> stork: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup
[10:50] <billy> AnAnt: a partition is like a slice of a pie.  Windows is on one, ubuntu on the other.  Ideally, you'll have Windows on your hard hard drive *before* installing Ubuntu.
[10:51] <stork> alright, since that doesn't work, where can i place startup scripts on ubuntu server?
[10:51] <Galga> hi
[10:51] <jrib> stork: man update-rc.d
[10:51] <billy> !hi | Galga

[10:51] <Galga> If i press CTRL+ALT+F1, how do I go back to GUI
[10:51] <AnAnt> Lynoure: ok
[10:51] <billy> ctrl+alt+f7
[10:52] <Galga> thanks bieb
[10:52] <Galga> billy
[10:52] <billy> what's up Galga?
[10:53] <uric> hi, could someone please tell me how to check, or get an overview off my drivers
[10:53] <stork> jrib, isn't that for start/stop scripts?
[10:53] <Galga> thanks billy
[10:53] <eck> uric: if the hardware works, you have the driver :-)
[10:53] <eck> uric: you can see most of the ones that are loaded with lsmod
[10:53] <MrFlibble_> eck: Thanks for the help; bug report now filed.
[10:53] <billy> you're welcome earth_creature Galga.
[10:54] <uric> eck: ah, thank you! ::)
[10:54] <eck> uric: that isn't foolproof though, because it won't show modules compiled into the kernel (but if you are using the stock kernel, nearly everything is compiled as a loadable module)
[10:54] <jrib> stork: what exactly do you want to do?
[10:54] <cypher1> uric, dmesg output may also help you
[10:54] <blue|palm> my apt-get is broken... I tried to install a package that tried to overwrite another package but failed... now everytime i invoke apt-get to do anything it tries to install the package (dcraw) and fails every time... how do i fix th
[10:54] <Lynoure> AnAnt: It's also possible that /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab need poking for the same reason
[10:55] <stork> jrib, execute two commands to start my RAID array on boot up so i can mount it on /home

[10:57] <AnAnt> Lynoure: I did all that
[10:57] <AnAnt> Lynoure: it still says that it /boot/grub/stage1 file is not read correctly
[10:57] <jrib> stork: you can use /etc/init.d/ and udpate-rc.d, you could also add it to /etc/rc.local maybe... I'm not sure when that gets executed though
[10:57] <AnAnt> Lynoure: is there a way to regenerate the stage1 file ?
[10:58] <stork> jrib, but then i'd need to implement a stop command right?
[10:58] <billy> That's it dammit!
[10:59] <billy> Sound Juicer has got to go~!
[11:00] <jrib> stork: I don't think so, see post 8 here http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/09/07/adding-a-startup-script-to-be-run-at-bootup/
[11:00] <AnAnt> ok, I used grub, thanks
[11:00] <billy> AnAnt: how did it go?
[11:01] <stork> cheers jrib
[11:01] <blue|palm> is there any place I can see the improvements in feisty?
[11:01] <Lynoure> AnAnt: you solved it already?
[11:02] <billy> What the XMMS command to get it to play a CD upon placing it in the tray?  I know I have to change the preferences, but that follows the XMMS command?
[11:02] <AnAnt> Lynoure: yeah that URL you gave me
[11:02] <AnAnt> Lynoure: in grub I type root (hd0,6) then setup (hd0)
[11:02] <AnAnt> it worked
[11:03] <AnAnt> Lynoure: thanks
[11:03] <jrib> blue|palm: #ubuntu+1 for feisty, but maybe https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/feisty/+specs or burn a daily live cd if you want to try them out
[11:04] <ahmed> #nubuntu
[11:04] <blue|palm> jrib: thanks
[11:04] <ahmed> hey
[11:04] <ahmed> lol
[11:04] <ahmed> damn, its been like 6 years or so since i last used irc
[11:05] <Lynoure> ahmed: It has net changed much :)
[11:05] <Lynoure> s/net/not

[11:07] <billy> any recommendations for a CD player?
[11:07] <ahmed> Define your recommendations?
[11:08] <ahmed> which player you mean?
[11:08] <blue|palm> anybody have problems with video? Im using ati and fglrx and no matter what player/engine i use all the red areas in my videos are very blocky and pixellated
[11:08] <blue|palm> and its not the videos because testing them in windows they are fine (and better quality too using media player classic + ffdshow)

[11:13] <variant> denyhosts pwns..
[11:13] <variant> !denyhosts
[11:13] <ncaller> what is the name of the command which ubuntu runs when you turn on its remote assistance or remote desktop via the gnome menu's... it is a vnc server I know, I just need the command because I need to vnc in but only have ssh access right now
[11:13] <ubotu> denyhosts: an utility to help sys admins thwart ssh hackers. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.5-3 (edgy), package size 60 kB, installed size 412 kB
[11:14] <ncaller> I do a locate on vncserver and it is not found
[11:14] <eck> variant: it's still better to just use ssh keys :-)
[11:14] <variant> eck: yes
[11:14] <billy> how do I get XMMS to play a CD?
[11:15] <gaminggeek> billy, why are you using XMMS?
[11:15] <ncaller> I just need to get a VNC session going to my remote server
[11:15] <Gorlist> Morning - right quick question :)
[11:15] <billy> gaminggeek: no idea.  I don't like Sound Juicer.
[11:15] <billy> morning Gorlist earth_creature.
[11:15] <Gorlist> does my home folder contain all my program settings etc? including Emails, Bookmarks and so on
[11:15] <variant> ncaller: man vncserver tells you how
[11:15] <gaminggeek> Sound Juicer is a cd ripper really
[11:16] <gaminggeek> uses rythembox to play your cds
[11:16] <variant> ncaller: you could also try typeing "vncserver"
[11:16] <variant> Gorlist: yes
[11:16] <billy> gamingeek:  yeah, that's part of the reason I don't like using it.  that and it puts gaps in my mix CDs.  thanks for the suggestion.
[11:16] <Gorlist> right, so for instance, if I installed a fresh copy of the latest Ubuntu onto another pc
[11:16] <variant> billy: there is the option to enablet he plugin in the xmms preferences.. input/output plugins
[11:17] <billy> variant:  it's enabled.
[11:17] <eck> Gorlist: most of you settings are in "dot" files and folders in your home directory
[11:17] <Gorlist> and simply copied my Home folder over, it would work fine and my user account will be transferred with all its stuff?
[11:17] <billy> variant: XMMS keeps acting buggy.  away with it.
[11:17] <variant> Gorlist: and copied your /home/gorlist directory accross, yes it would work
[11:17] <gaminggeek> billy, your wellcome
[11:17] <Gorlist> righty'o :)
[11:17] <Gorlist> Want to upgrade of Dapper to Edgy
[11:17] <Gorlist> so just backing up the files first
[11:17] <variant> Gorlist: there may be slight issues with configuration differences between apps. but if it's the same ubuntu version there shouldn't be an issue
[11:18] <pjesi> how do you guys unpack src.rpm?
[11:18] <variant> Gorlist: yeah, wont be too much trouble
[11:18] <variant> pjesi: try rpm2tgz
[11:18] <Gorlist> Ok, thanks!
[11:18] <pjesi> variant: ok thanks
[11:18] <eck> Gorlist: your gnome settings are mostly in ~/.gnome2/ and ~/.gconf/
[11:18] <variant> Gorlist: just remember the .mozilla directory..
[11:18] <eck> and get the directory for you email client
[11:19] <variant> Gorlist: you may need to specify that firefox profile in the the fx profile manager ont he new system
[11:19] <Gorlist> right
[11:19] <ncaller> variant well I ran the server the other day on here and was VNC'ing into it fine, but I ran it from the gnome menu.  When I try to run vncserver via CLI or locate vncserver or man vncserver it is not found, thats why I think it has a different name, I just can't remember what
[11:19] <Gorlist> well will go through it and see what happens
[11:19] <Gorlist> thanks for the advice/help - logging off :)
[11:19] <pjesi> variant: is it not in the repos?
[11:20] <variant> ncaller: try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=122402
[11:20] <variant> pjesi: should be something simmilar
[11:21] <variant> pjesi: strange, it appears not.. guess i'm used to gentoo to much :)
[11:21] <pjesi> hehe tell me about it
[11:21] <variant> pjesi: try alien
[11:21] <variant> pjesi: not sure what it will do with a src.rpm though
[11:21] <variant> !alien | pjesi
[11:21] <ubotu> pjesi: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[11:22] <billy> rhythmbox puts gaps in my tracks as well.  Not cool.
[11:22] <pjesi> I just want to unpack it so I can have access to the source, not planning on bloating my system with redhat stuff :)
[11:22] <variant> billy: try amarok, it's my fave by a long way. it supports gapless playback
[11:23] <kestaz> i need howto about power managment on ubuntu ?
[11:23] <billy> variant:  sweet!  thanks.
[11:23] <variant> billy: although, the best cd player/ripper imo is definatly grip
[11:23] <billy> variant:  I'll check that one too.
[11:23] <Steve1> hi

[11:24] <billy> !hi | Steve1
[11:24] <ubotu> Steve1: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[11:24] <Steve1> i need help installing ubuntu
[11:25] <variant> kestaz: the packages required for pm are already isntalled on ubuntu, if you want to configure it different from default then the gentoo doc you just pasted should do the trick for most of what you're looking for
[11:26] <kestaz> variant, so everything is configurated on ubuntu ?
[11:26] <arfy> Hi all, just got a friend and heling him to install ubuntu. However, he can't seem to change the screen resolution from 640x480, even though xorg.conf says 1280x800. Can he fix it? He's using a ferrari 4000 acer laptop.
[11:26] <variant> kestaz: mostly
[11:26] <kestaz> ok, that's great ;)
[11:28] <Steve1> i have 3 HDs, 2 sata and one IDE133

[11:30] <picca> anyone know if there is a way to disable hardware detection when booting off the live cd? k/ubuntu live cd seems to hang when it trys to load 8139too driver
[11:30] <nekr0z> PirateHead: I do.
[11:31] <PirateHead> nekr0z: lay it on me. :-)
[11:31] <nekr0z> PirateHead: go to console, plug the camera in and do "lsusb", then look if your camera is detected.
[11:32] <billy> variant: um ... sorry I'm so dumb.  How do I get Amarok to play a CD.  Keeps telling me "could not read AudioCD"
[11:33] <Steve1> someone can help me?
[11:33] <PirateHead> nekr0z: lsusb reports my camera and my three empty ports

[11:34] <PirateHead> !ask | Steve1
[11:34] <ubotu> Steve1: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:34] <fijam> what application do I use?
[11:35] <nekr0z> PirateHead: Now look in /etc/udev/rules.d/45-libgphoto2.rules for a line that contains both those hexadecimal numbers.
[11:35] <PirateHead> fijam: I think Scribus does that.
[11:35] <nekr0z> PirateHead: There actually must be 2 lines in that file for each camera.
[11:35] <billy> Steve1 : what's your question?
[11:35] <fijam> ok, thanks PirateHead
[11:36] <Steve1> i-ve isntalled ubuntu on my second sata disc but i can-t boot, i only get  a black screen instead of the grub menu
[11:37] <rowland> Folks, whats the Feisty channel called please???
[11:37] <PirateHead> nekr0z: very nice, let me take a look at that
[11:37] <Jowi> rowland, #ubuntu+1
[11:37] <billy> Steve1 : download this --> http://linux.softpedia.com/get/System/Boot/Super-Grub-Disk-8071.shtml
[11:38] <rowland> thanks Jowi
[11:38] <billy> Steve1 : that super grub disc will help you restore your boot.
[11:38] <billy> Steve1 : put it in your CD drive and reboot back into the CD drive.  Can your computer boot by CD rom?
[11:39] <Steve1> tnx, i-ve already tried with grub > setud (hd2) but it-s the same.. i-m downloading that prog..
[11:39] <billy> Steve1 : of course it can boot by CDROM.  That was a dumb question. Just try it out.
[11:39] <PirateHead> nekr0z: still there? it appears that there is no entry for my camera, but I'm not sure
[11:39] <mbudde> Ain't there a function that takes some input and outputs the unique lines?
[11:40] <PirateHead> is the hexidecimal combo idVendor:idNumber?
[11:40] <remfarkas> hi, anyone knows how to get a working autoreconf2.61 for edgy?
[11:40] <UbuntuN00B_HBG> Hi all! I have a soundblaster in my computer... does that play through the ALSA or the OSS output?
[11:40] <nekr0z> PirateHead: Yes, exactly. Well, you have to add it manually. Just make 2 lines looking the same as others, only with your camera's numbers.
[11:40] <PirateHead> nekr0z: why 2 lines?
[11:41] <nekr0z> PirateHead: Then restart udev (sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart) and replug the camera.
[11:41] <PirateHead> nekr0z: it seems that all the other cameras have only 1 line.
[11:41] <billy> In Amarok, if the CD drive is already mounted, do I need to re-mount it with the "Pre-connect command" in "Configure Media Device"?  sorry there's no help and *this* channel is listed as the support forum.
[11:41] <nekr0z> PirateHead: They have 2 lines each on my system, but if one is enough on yours, you can try it this way.
[11:42] <PirateHead> nekr0z: on your system, is it one line right after another?
[11:42] <nekr0z> PirateHead: Yes, it is. Report in if the solution works, because there's one more bug on this, and I'll guide you through that fix as well.
[11:43] <billy> Why can't Amarok read my AudioCD?
[11:44] <fericitu_> i use ubuntu Edgy amd64 if i will install beryl with cmd " sudo apt-get install beryl" is the version for AMD64 ????
[11:44] <nekr0z> billy: I haven't figured this thing out after a year of using amarok every day. You may have luck on #amarok though.
[11:44] <Steve1> billy, i-ve downlaoded the tar.gz file, now? how to create a bootalbe floppy?
[11:45] <Yoann512> lu tlm
[11:46] <UbuntuN00B_HBG> If im using a soundcard, like soundblaster... does that play through ALSA or OSS? I cant make MPD play through my soundblaster!
[11:46] <PirateHead> nekr0z: worked perfectly.
[11:47] <nekr0z> PirateHead: Then you got my congratulations! Just be aware, there is one more issue on this, and it can emerge on your system after some update.
[11:47] <Yoann512> #ubuntu-fr
[11:48] <kaptengu> does greasemonkey work with Ubuntu?
[11:48] <billy> Steve1 : I'm sorry.  I pointed you to the wrong one.  That will work, but it's easier to simple download the iso to your desktop and right-click burn to disc.  use this download.  http://forjamari.linex.org/frs/download.php/522/sgd_0.9575.iso.bz2
[11:48] <nekr0z> PirateHead: I filed a bug on launchpad, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgphoto2/+bug/91250 -- you may check it out to be prepared.
[11:48] <nekr0z> PirateHead: The solution is also there.
[11:48] <Steve1> tnx >(
[11:49] <Steve1> hem sorry wrong keyboard layout :)
[11:49] <billy> Steve1 : Once downloaded, simply right click it and select "Unzip here".  Then you can burn the iso to CD.
[11:49] <alecjw> hi. is ubuntu distrubuted under the GPL or LGPL?

[11:52] <Godsey> what package do I install in 6.06 for kernel devel?
[11:53] <Godsey> I want to build vmware modules
[11:53] <Seveas> Godsey, linux-headers-generic
[11:53] <alecjw> Seveas, so what licence should i give out with CDs (if im trying to be politally correct)?
[11:53] <Godsey> Seveas: thanks
[11:53] <PirateHead> alecjw: Ubuntu is a huge collection of software, each piece of which has its own licensing text.
[11:53] <alecjw> *politically
[11:53] <Seveas> alecjw, none and refer to /usr/share/doc/*/copyright
[11:53] <bimberi> Godsey: and build-essential
[11:53] <Seveas> that's what official CDsdo as well
[11:53] <PirateHead> alecjw: the licenses are on the CD =D
[11:54] <alecjw> Seveas, ok. thanks.
[11:54] <alecjw> thanks, PirateHead
[11:54] <PirateHead> alecjw: don't be deterred from telling people about the GPL anyway.
[11:54] <PirateHead> =D
[11:54] <Godsey> thank you both, I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out why there was no kernel-devel  :)
[11:55] <Linux_Powwwa> hi

[11:57] <Seveas> what's on the screen at that point?
[11:57] <h1st0> Linux_Powwwa: Are you the one that posted to the forums?
[11:57] <Linux_Powwwa> instalation windows
[11:57] <h1st0> Linux_Powwwa: And what version of ubuntu are you trying to install?
[11:57] <Kosssu> meh, wants the command to start mysqld? ive looked over 60 pages on forums, but nobody mentions it
[11:57] <Linux_Powwwa> yes i have unbuntu on my deskop computer
[11:58] <Seveas> Linux_Powwwa, a bit more specific
[11:58] <h1st0> Kosssu: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start
[11:58] <billy> Yo h1st0
[11:58] <Kosssu> thanks h1st0
[11:58] <h1st0> Linux_Powwwa: what version?
[11:58] <h1st0> Linux_Powwwa: are you trying to install?
[11:58] <Linux_Powwwa> 6.10
[11:58] <h1st0> Okay first check the media
[11:59] <h1st0> Linux_Powwwa: right on the boot menu is an option to check the CD
[11:59] <Kosssu> urh, starting the server failed :S
[11:59] <h1st0> Kosssu: did you get errors?
[11:59] <troughton> i have a little problem after the last updates i lost my xserver have had to reinstall the xserver and all its components are run config but i seem to have lost my other screens u get when u press ctrl alt f1 can anyone help ?

[11:59] <Linux_Powwwa> ok thanks
[11:59] <h1st0> Kosssu: How did you install mysql?
[12:00] <h1st0> troughton: your virtual terminals or your other desktops?
[12:00] <Kosssu> h1st0: from synaptic
[12:00] <troughton> other desktops
[12:00] <Godsey> this is random and unrelated, but might anyone have a problem w/ vmware server reverting vmx configs back to use vlance instead of e1000?
[12:00] <h1st0> troughton: right click ont eh desktop switcher and change the number of workspaces
[12:00] <troughton> the black ones that are just a comand propmtp
[12:00] <h1st0> Kosssu: well if you install from synaptic mysql should be running.
[12:01] <h1st0> Kosssu: perhaps you didn't install mysql-server
[12:01] <h1st0> !mysql-server
[12:01] <ubotu> mysql-server: mysql database server (current version). In component main, is optional. Version 5.0.24a-9 (edgy), package size 38 kB, installed size 68 kB
[12:01] <troughton> sorry with you now no i have more than 1 desktop its the vertual terminals
[12:01] <Kosssu> h1st0: had to reinstall it, because I wasn't able to change root for some reason
[12:01] <Kosssu> password sorry*
[12:01] <h1st0> Kosssu: well root by default has no password also.
[12:01] <h1st0> Kosssu: and if you reinstalled without purging you will have the same issue.
[12:02] <Kosssu> h1st0: thats what i figured, however mythtv had other plans about that
[12:02] <h1st0> Kosssu: try sudo aptitude purge mysql mysql-server
[12:02] <PirateHead> nekr0z: thanks a bunch for the fix info, hope the launchpad bug gets resolved.
[12:02] <h1st0> Kosssu: Then sudo aptitude install mysql mysql-server
[12:02] <crazyrobot> anybody know how to change the default shell from 40x25 to 80x25?
[12:02] <Kosssu> h1st0: mmk, its setup. Should I try starting it now?
[12:02] <h1st0> crazyrobot: the resolution of the shell?
[12:03] <h1st0> Kosssu: well it should be running .
[12:03] <h1st0> Kosssu: lsmod | grep mysql
[12:03] <crazyrobot> right, somehow its only showing half the screen, and its really irritating.
[12:03] <Kosssu> h1st0: returns nothing
[12:03] <h1st0> Kosssu: wai tthat will return nothing.
[12:04] <h1st0> Kosssu: hold up let me try somehting
[12:04] <h1st0> Kosssu: try sudo /etc/init.d/mysql status
[12:05] <Kosssu> h1st0: returns " * MySQL is stopped."

[12:06] <Kosssu> h1st0: i did
[12:06] <h1st0> hrm..
[12:06] <yango> hi... why do the packages ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop depend on dvd+w-tools? which on turn depends on genisoimage which is not available?
[12:06] <h1st0> Kosssu: well sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart
[12:06] <Kosssu> h1st0: i always use sudo, just in case

[12:12] <h1st0> Kosssu: then try installing again just now?

[12:13] <Kosssu> h1st0: i got 2 versions of mysql server 2
[12:13] <Kosssu> h1st0: both installed, that might cause a conflict?
[12:13] <X_Force> Flightbase:  you can try feisty .. but its only herd 4 today ..

[12:15] <Kosssu> h1st0: had to remove mythtv in order to even uninstall mysql
[12:15] <Flightbase> X_Force, thanks a lot. where can i see the used kernel version?
[12:16] <X_Force> Flightbase feistsyy uses 2.6.20 i think
[12:16] <h1st0> Kosssu: Kosssu there should be a mysql-server then another mysql-server if you dpkg -l | grep mysql  one is binaries one is meta package
[12:16] <Flightbase> well, this should do the job ;)
[12:16] <asaup> i have the latest version of beryl and the latest version of my graphic drivers installed but beryl cannot draw my other desktops
[12:16] <sjust1216> When you have a usb printer /dev/usb/lp0 should be created automatically right?
[12:16] <yoann512> er
[12:16] <X_Force> Flightbase: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/feisty/herd-5/feisty-server-amd64.list (buttom it say 2.6.209

[12:17] <variant> yoann512: #ubuntu-fr
[12:17] <Flightbase> X_Force, but as the image name suggests: it`s supposed to run on a server... will i run into dependency problems, when changeing the sources.list to stable sources after install?
[12:17] <tuntis> urrr
[12:17] <tuntis> When trying to launch the installation (or anything) from the alternative 6.10 cd,
[12:17] <X_Force> Flightbase do you need server or client ?
[12:17] <sjust1216> If it is I have problem because it is not
[12:17] <tuntis> it just hangs up on a DOS-like screen with a blinking underscore
[12:17] <troughton> when i booted into recovery mode it did not boot up but only error message i get is no mmconfig
[12:17] <Flightbase> X_Force, server
[12:18] <tuntis> I am trying to use the alternative disc, since trying to boot with the normal one will just reboot the computer
[12:18] <X_Force> Flightbase: in march feisty is stable .
[12:18] <chemisus> its 7am est, right?
[12:18] <sjust1216> 7:18
[12:18] <X_Force> Flightbase: i recommend to to install and keep sources as they are and then do a upgrade on march ..
[12:18] <bimberi> April actually
[12:18] <Flightbase> X_Force, well... sounds perfect. hopefully the installer is working
[12:19] <X_Force> Flightbase: because if you change sources to edgy .. you will get a problem .
[12:19] <h1st0> Kosssu: okay logging is turned off by default in /etc/mysql/my.cnf
[12:19] <X_Force> Flightbase: its herd 5 .. i wish you luki :d
[12:19] <X_Force> Flightbase: cu
[12:19] <h1st0> Kosssu: if you edit that file you can enable loggin by removing the # inf front of the log line.
[12:19] <Flightbase> X_Force, feisty is like testing right?
[12:19] <Flightbase> ups, hes gone ^^
[12:19] <h1st0> Kosssu: then try to sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start    once it fails check you /var/log/mysql.log  for some errors
[12:20] <Kosssu> h1st0: which file to edit?
[12:20] <Super_Cat_Frog> hi - i cant get direct rendering to work in feisty, with the latest nvidia drivers (using nvidia in xorg.conf), glxinfo | grep -i direct tells me that direct rendering is turned off - any ideas?

[12:20] <h1st0> Kosssu: Do you have a desktop on this machine or just terminal?
[12:20] <Kosssu> desktop
[12:20] <bimberi> Flightbase: it's considered Alpha at present

[12:21] <h1st0> Kosssu: look for the line that says #log /var/log/msyql.log
[12:21] <h1st0> Kosssu: remove the # from the front of that line.
[12:22] <h1st0> troughton: recovery mode should only boot to a terminal.
[12:22] <troughton> it dosent boot i get error message no mmconfig hlst0
[12:23] <h1st0> troughton: okay how did all this start now?
[12:23] <troughton> just normal start up

[12:29] <Jesset77> h1st0, firefox preferences do not have an option like that. That is simply how it behaves on other OS
[12:29] <yevgeny> oooo
[12:29] <Jesset77> It also won't let me close tabs by middle clicking them
[12:29] <h1st0> Jesset77: dunno they must have some sort of short cut or addon installed.
[12:29] <purpleplether> they are "divX" .....whatever that means

[12:30] <tuntis> I am having troubles running the "alternative" installation, as it only shows an blinking underscore and no further progress is being made when trying to launch anything fomr the cd.
[12:30] <h1st0> Jesset77: I doubt thats firefoxs default behavior.
[12:30] <jo__> hi
[12:30] <Jesset77> h1st0, nope, straight out of the box install of firefox on Windows, Mac, or Debian KDE middle clicks behave the way I am describing.
[12:30] <jo__> has anyone managed to setup a private/public keypair ssh connection with gstm?
[12:31] <slayer> hi all
[12:31] <slayer> who from russia?
[12:31] <slayer> xD
[12:31] <Jesset77> jo__, I've never used gstm, but had plenty of success setting up tunnels in PuTTy for Windows or ssh command line in *nix :)
[12:31] <h1st0> Jesset77: never seen that in my firefoxes
[12:32] <Jesset77> h1st0, do you have a non-ubuntu firefox you could test it out with quickly?
[12:32] <jo__> Jettis_, i need tunneling and putty doesn't do that on ubuntu
[12:32] <h1st0> Kosssu: alright sudo aptitude purge mysql-server-5.0 mysql-server
[12:32] <ardchoille> !seveas
[12:32] <ubotu> Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages. More info (and mirrors) on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[12:32] <Jesset77> jo__, I don't even have PuTTy on ubuntu but I have ssh command line client and that does tunneling on ubuntu. :)
[12:32] <madsrh> Can anyone help me setting up a /home/bob/.conkyrc folder? I'm using this guide http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205865 but I can save the file (4) because the file was not found!
[12:32] <craigbass1976> is ther ea graphical version of ps?  My wife had a firefox that wouldn't die and I had to kill it for her in a terminal, but I'd like for her to be able to do it with something like windows task manager.
[12:33] <jo__> Jesset77, could you give me a quick snippet to get started?
[12:33] <jrib> craigbass1976: system > administration > system monitor
[12:33] <h1st0> madsrh: click save as ~/home/bob/.conkyrc
[12:33] <jo__> Jesset77, i need access to my company's subversion system
[12:33] <Jesset77> jo__, sure thing. What form of tunnel do you have in mind? There are 3hree major ones I am familiar with.
[12:33] <h1st0> madsrh: it wasn't foudn because it doesn't exihst
[12:33] <craigbass1976> jrib, Ahh, thanks.
[12:33] <Kosssu> h1st0: done
[12:33] <madsrh> h1st0-> I can't create a folder!
[12:33] <h1st0> Kosssu: now try sudo aptitude install mysql-server   Shouldn't error out this time.
[12:34] <craigbass1976> jrib, I should probably go through those admin items sometime, I'm jsut so used to a terminal
[12:34] <h1st0> madsrh: .conkyrc is supposed to just go in your home folder.
[12:34] <arkindal> hello everyone...maybe i can find help here....i have ubuntu with wine running ow, it run gr8, but i cant play some characters, anyone can help? :)
[12:34] <Jesset77> jo__, so you want to ssh to a computer in your company lan, and then tunnel your traffic so that you are connecting from your computer to a port on that lan?
[12:34] <jo__> Jesset77, that's on port 3690..
[12:34] <jo__> Jesset77, exactly
[12:34] <Kosssu> h1st0: still failed to start it :(, same error
[12:34] <h1st0> madsrh: open a terminal and cd ~    hit enter.  That will make sure you are in your home folder.  Then gedit .conkyrc   put whatever your conky config in there and save the file.
[12:35] <Jesset77> jo__, man ssh will generally tell you what you need to know, but I'll see if I can tell you specificly....
[12:35] <h1st0> Kosssu: it failed to start but did you get the same error about mysql-server-5.0?
[12:35] <madsrh> h1st0-> okay, so when the guide say's home/bob it means home/"my name"?
[12:35] <choongii> hi. I'm running edgy and can't seem to find a package for apache's suexec. is it named differently somehow?
[12:35] <Kosssu> h1st0: yes
[12:35] <Kosssu> h1st0: mysql-server depends on mysql-server-5.0; however:
[12:35] <Kosssu>   Package mysql-server-5.0 is not configured yet.
[12:36] <Septim> OMG....this client is shit..:D automatically join to Ubuntu server:D
[12:36] <h1st0> Kosssu: I dunno something is messed up beyond my knowledge on that one.  Try posting to the forums.  Make sure you put in the error you are getting when trying to install mysql-server
[12:36] <h1st0> Septim: most clients can do that.
[12:36] <Jesset77> jo__, so svn exists on a computer at your office lan on port 3690. Are you using port 3690 on your localhost interface here?
[12:36] <Kosssu> h1st0: should I try configuring mysql-server-5.0?
[12:36] <h1st0> Kosssu: you could try sudo dpkg-configure mysql-server-5.0
[12:36] <jo__> Jesset77, don't think so.. would netstat tell me if i was?
[12:37] <h1st0> Kosssu: but don't think that is going to help.
[12:37] <Jesset77> jo__, it would do just that. netstat -nl
[12:37] <Kosssu> h1st0: command not found :(
[12:37] <choongii> duh sorry, just need to enable the module
[12:37] <Jesset77> jo__, n = don't reverse lookup everything, l = ports I am listening with
[12:37] <[PCR] ChristheR> Hey
[12:37] <jo__> Jesset77, seems i am listening on that port after all..
[12:38] <[PCR] ChristheR> Some One Know how to get aMSN 0.96
[12:38] <purpleplether> cool, mucho gratis
[12:38] <Jesset77> jo__, In that case, do you know how to make your svn client connect to a different port? we will be asking it to connect to a port on your localhost interface, which will end up getting tunneled.
[12:38] <h1st0> Kosssu: sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.0
[12:39] <h1st0> Kosssu: sry bout that.
[12:39] <[PCR] ChristheR> Some One Know how to get aMSN 0.96
[12:39] <mewt> I have a problem with my printer, anyone can help me ?
[12:39] <jo__> Jesset77, hmm.. not really.. i'll try to figure out what's listening on that port an kill it
[12:39] <[PCR] ChristheR> Some One Know how to get aMSN 0.96?? Please Tell me
[12:39] <Kosssu> h1st0: returns, mysql-server-5.0 is broken or not fully installed
[12:40] <[PCR] ChristheR> noen fra norge her?
[12:40] <Jesset77> jo__, ok, you do that. Also, do we know if svn makes a bunch of seperate connections over that port or not, and whether we'll want the tunnel running for awhile, or just as a one shot when needed?
[12:40] <Kosssu> h1st0: ima post on forums and see if anyone has any ideas, thanks alot for taking ur time and trying to help
[12:40] <[PCR] ChristheR> Noen Fra Norge Her?
[12:40] <h1st0> Kosssu: sudo aptitude reinstall mysql-server-5.0
[12:40] <[PCR] ChristheR> hei scOtt
[12:40] <jo__> Jesset77, don't know.. when setting up the tunnel with putty, i just forward the ports and it works..
[12:40] <jo__> Jesset77, tcp6       0      0 ::1:3690                :::*                    LISTEN
[12:41] <jo__> Jesset77, any way of figuring out what process is listening ?
[12:41] <Kosssu> h1st0: returns same :(
[12:41] <[PCR] ChristheR> Do we Talk about Radio Streaming?
[12:41] <Jesset77> jo__, netstat -nlp
[12:41] <Jesset77> jo__, you may need to sudo that actually
[12:41] <jo__> ha.. putty is listening :)
[12:41] <jo__> Jesset77, but it doesn't actually forward anything
[12:41] <Jesset77> but wait
[12:42] <Jesset77> oh ok that's what I was going to ask
[12:42] <Jesset77> once putty is gone try this:
[12:42] <h1st0> Kosssu: yeah try posting in the forums.
[12:42] <h1st0> Kosssu: or asking someone else here.  Their is a package that is mesed up.
[12:43] <Jesset77> ssh myusername@myremotemachine.com -L 3690:remoteaddressofsvnhost:3690   (this will launch an ssh session, log in, and leave that session running in it's own window or something)
[12:43] <jo__> Jesset77, putty's dead now
[12:44] <jo__> Jesset77, will that use ssh keypairs?
[12:44] <[PCR] ChristheR> PM Please
[12:44] <Jesset77> Fair question. It's been so long since I've set up keypairs that I forget how to invoke them.
[12:45] <Jesset77> If it does it will not ask you for a password I guess. :)  If it does not invoke them correctly then it would ask...
[12:45] <maxx18> hi guys.. my monitor does not go to sleep when i have my laptop lid closed (it just blank screens)... anyone know how to fix this?
[12:45] <Jesset77> maxx18, nytol
[12:46] <jo__> Jesset77, it doesn't: Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive).
[12:46] <Kosssu> h1st0: just noticted there is a process called mysqld_safe running, taking all spare cpu atm
[12:46] <maxx18> Jesset77, meaning?
[12:46] <Jesset77> maxx18, j/k :)  Actually linux + suspend = I've never been able to figure it out
[12:47] <Jesset77> jo__, The next good step would be to man ssh and see how it handles public keypairs. You may need to set an environment variable telling the client where to find your keys.
[12:47] <maxx18> Jesset77, hmm well i dont actually need it to suspend just for the monitor to go fully to sleep
[12:47] <jo__> Jesset77, ok, i'll try to figure it out.. cheers mate
[12:47] <Jesset77> jo__, bets of luck!
[12:48] <Jesset77> maxx18, power management in linux has always had me baffled too. :)
[12:50] <h1st0> Kosssu: hrm...
[12:50] <h1st0> Kosssu: You could try killing that and reinstalling mysql-server
[12:50] <Kosssu> h1st0: know the command to kill ?

[01:00] <Trentster> hey all, I have cloned a ubuntu dapper install to another drive and put it in a pc with almost identical hardware, everything works fine except its not automatically assigning an eth0, i can see its being picked up by dmesg as "sky2" how do i go about reconfigging so that when the pc boots eth0 comes up by default..?
[01:01] <jo__> Jesset77, you might try #ubuntu-effects
[01:02] <IndyGunFreak> Trentster: why didn't you just do a normal install on the other pc?(just curious)
[01:03] <Huffalump> I've got Ubuntu on dual-boot with Windows.  As I've gotten more comfortable with Ubuntu, I'd like to change how much diskspace is allocated to it.   Inside Windows, it will be trivial to free-up space and break it off into an unformatted partition.   In Ubuntu, how do I then claim this space and append it to the Ubuntu partition (combined, not 2 different ones)?
[01:04] <Trentster> IndyGunFreak, its a custom vmware build running vmware-server on top of ubuntu dapper server...

[01:05] <didek> Hello!
[01:05] <thoreauputic> Huffalump: easiest way would be to boot up the live CD and use gparted. You need both partitions to be unmounted to merge them after clearing the space
[01:05] <kaktus> Hi! I have a question about ext2. I have formatted my ext. HDD from NTFS to ext2. Now I have less space available on the external HDD than I used to. 24GB is used on something, but the disk appears empty.Why?
[01:07] <kaktus> Could anyone please help me?
[01:07] <Huffalump> thoreauputic, thank you.  Boot from live CD, unmount any harddisk partitions, use gparted.
[01:07] <thoreauputic> Huffalump: actually the live CD doesn't mount anything by default IIRC
[01:07] <Huffalump> kaktus, you formatted whole external disk after swearing up and down you needed to be NTFS?
[01:08] <thoreauputic> Huffalump: anyway gparted won't let you mess with mounted partitions - it warns you
[01:08] <Huffalump> thoreauputic, sounds idiot-proof enough for me ;)
[01:08] <thoreauputic> Huffalump: gparted is pretty intuitive
[01:08] <Huffalump> that's good news!  now I can give Ubuntu more respect on the harddisk
[01:08] <IndyGunFreak> Huffalump: just think, pretty soon, you're going to partition down so far you';ll have nothing left but Windows... thent here's only one step left
[01:08] <thoreauputic> Huffalump: you can resize partitions with mouse drag etc
[01:09] <kaktus> Huffalump: I'm sorry that I sweared at you, didn't mean to hurt you. Anyhow: I became frustrated because I got 100 different solutions yesterday
[01:09] <Huffalump> IndyGunFreak, hmmm I've already gone from using Ubuntu about 10% of the time... .to about... roughly... 30% of the time.  And growing.
[01:10] <IndyGunFreak> Huffalump: yeah.... i realized I didn't need windows anymore, when I didn't boot to it for almost a solid month, so i eliminated it
[01:10] <Huffalump> kaktus, just a figure of speech!  So, what did you do?  You freed up space on the NTFS drive, but kept some files on it.  Then you did what?  Took the 'free space' and split it into a partition, which you formatted ext3 (or ext2)?  And still left some of your files in an NTFS partition?
[01:10] <IndyGunFreak> Huffalump: plus, i had Ubuntu on a spare drive, 40gigs... which worked fine, but once i blew away Windows, I reinstalled Ubuntu on my 250gig drive.
[01:11] <Askar> Is ubuntu getting slow after some months like windows? :O
[01:11] <Huffalump> IndyGunFreak - I set up my girl on Ubuntu... she was a little afraid to let go, so we kept Windows naturally.  Within 2 weeks, she was totally done with Windows.  Period.  It's still takes space, but never gets booted.
[01:11] <thoreauputic> Askar: no
[01:11] <Huffalump> Askar - no!
[01:11] <IndyGunFreak> Askar: not in my experience, still works like the day i installed it.
[01:12] <kaktus> Huffalump: It was a joke. I copied what I needed to DVDR from the external HDD, and now the external HDD is a blank formatted ext2 HDD
[01:12] <Huffalump> kaktus, I see.  What did tool did you use to format?
[01:13] <IndyGunFreak> kaktus: if you have all the data on the drive backed up, just format the drive as ext3(or ext2) again, obviously something went haywire the first time
[01:13] <kaktus> partition magic was the only thing that worked in windows. I tried QTpart in ubuntu from the liveCD, but got an error
[01:14] <IndyGunFreak> kaktus: why not try gparted?
[01:14] <kaktus> My plan is to format the HDD to a filesystem both OS understand. I have installed  ext2IFS in windows, which allows me to read/write to ext2 in windows
[01:14] <Huffalump> IndyGunFreak - I got 1 sister to order the disk (downloading & burning was too hard for her) and she's going to put it on dual-boot for the new (*shudder*) Vista box she bought....  Just talked my mother into ordering the CD (download, burn, snore).  And my girl's sister is going to install fiesty when it's out.  And my girl's younger sister is going to get a new computer soon with Ubuntu (and a small Windows partition, "just in case").
[01:14] <IndyGunFreak> kaktus: i see...
[01:15] <Huffalump> kaktus, yeah Partition Magic is pretty sweet from Windows.  But you've got nothing to lose by trying to re-format again.
[01:15] <kaktus> gparted whined about permissions, which i tried to give through the terminal using "su" etc etc ...
[01:15] <madsrh> a quick question! How do I enable universe repo???
[01:15] <h1st0> kaktus: sudo gparted
[01:15] <h1st0> kaktus: err gksu gparted
[01:15] <IndyGunFreak> Huffalump: its really kinda silly to immediately cut the safety net the first day.  I thnk a good amount of time is a month, but thats for me, for others it will be different, but 1 day seems kinda minimal.

[01:16] <IndyGunFreak> Huffalump: she'd be perfect, cuz she'd have no idea what windows was, she'd be completely raw
[01:16] <h1st0> kaktus: when you try to launch gparted?
[01:16] <tuntis> When trying to run the Ubuntu text installer, the computer just hangs up on a screen with a blinking underscore.
[01:16] <Huffalump> IndyGunFreak - no no, the opposite.  one look at Ubuntu and she nearly had a stroke.
[01:16] <IndyGunFreak> Huffalump: really?
[01:16] <h1st0> tuntis: check the CD for defects
[01:16] <IndyGunFreak> strange.. she have PC experience?
[01:17] <Huffalump> IndyGunFreak - as in, she didn't see the blue e on Ubuntu and now swears it cannot get to the internet without my using Satan or something...
[01:17] <IndyGunFreak> Huffalump: oh i gotcha, nevermind....

[01:24] <Trentster> hey all, I have cloned a ubuntu dapper install to another drive and put it in a pc with almost identical hardware, everything works fine except its not automatically assigning an eth0, i can see its being picked up by dmesg as "sky2" how do i go about reconfigging so that when the pc boots eth0 comes up by default..?
[01:24] <kaktus> h1st0: Could I send you a screen-shot so you could see what it looks like over here?
[01:24] <nookie^> and where do i change init to only text more
[01:24] <h1st0> I'm going to sleep
[01:25] <kaktus> aha...
[01:25] <arkindal> oh noes
[01:25] <F00BaR> Hello, i just setup VNC on my linux pc. How Do I Stop/Start/Edit it??
[01:25] <Ng> nookie^: rc2. if you want to boot to a console login instead of a graphical manager, disable the gdm or kdm symlink in rc2.d
[01:25] <hang3r> He was clearly miss-understanding what I was trying to tell him, meh.
[01:25] <arkindal> no one else play wow with wine on ubuntu?
[01:25] <cypher1> Trentster, /etc/network/interfaces
[01:25] <kaktus> Huffalump: Can I send you the screenshot?
[01:25] <F00BaR> Hello, i just setup VNC on my linux pc. How Do I Stop/Start/Edit it??
[01:25] <IndyGunFreak> arkindal: no
[01:25] <arkindal> damn..
[01:25] <Toma-> arkindal: whats the problem?
[01:25] <Huffalump> kaktus, fire away
[01:26] <nookie^> Ng: will try.. thanx
[01:26] <F00BaR> Hello, i just setup VNC on my linux pc. How Do I Stop/Start/Edit it??
[01:26] <cypher1> F00BaR, you need to read the documentation of the vnc server you have installed
[01:26] <IndyGunFreak> !repeat | F00BaR
[01:26] <ubotu> F00BaR: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[01:27] <F00BaR> well i did sudo apt-get install vnc-common tightvncserver
[01:27] <F00BaR> so where's th docs
[01:27] <kaktus> Huffalump: Couldn't send you the file, as Im not a registered user
[01:27] <Huffalump> F00Bar - tightvnc is a great tool.  But go Google for it.
[01:27] <F00BaR> i am no good with linux
[01:28] <IndyGunFreak> Huffalump: what is it?
[01:28] <F00BaR> so dont know what im looking for
[01:28] <Huffalump> kaktus - http://imageshack.us/
[01:28] <cypher1> F00BaR, maybe you can try "man vncserver"
[01:28] <tdn> Can I get installations cds for Ubuntu/Kubuntu  7.04?
[01:28] <tdn> I know it is not released yet.
[01:28] <Huffalump> F00BaR - Go to http://www.google.com/  and do a search for "tightvnc"  you will easily find the website with very easy instructions.
[01:28] <IndyGunFreak> tdn: you can probably download them, just use caution
[01:28] <Ng> F00BaR: are you wanting to control your desktop remotely, or start a completely new remote session?
[01:28] <F00BaR> control it remotely
[01:28] <tdn> IndyGunFreak, where can I download them from? I can't find them.
[01:29] <Huffalump> IndyGunFreak - it's a remote login, like pcAnywhere
[01:29] <IndyGunFreak> tdn: there shoould be several servers that has it.
[01:29] <Ng> F00BaR: ok, you can remove tightvncserver then and see System->Preferences->Remote Desktop
[01:29] <IndyGunFreak> Huffalump: gotcha
[01:29] <tdn> IndyGunFreak, links?
[01:29] <F00BaR> i want to use VNC
[01:29] <IndyGunFreak> tdn: google should turn them up, or search ubuntu.com, they should have it also.
[01:29] <Ng> F00BaR: the builin remote desktop stuff uses VNC
[01:29] <Ng> +t
[01:30] <Huffalump> F00BaR - Go to http://www.google.com/  and do a search for "tightvnc"  you will easily find the website with very easy instructions.
[01:30] <lilrayray> hi all, what is the channel for things like compiz and other desktop effects?
[01:30] <Ng> Huffalump: that's not what he wants
[01:30] <IndyGunFreak> perhaps isohunt
[01:30] <cypher1> lilrayray, #xgl
[01:30] <cypher1> IndyGunFreak, read what ubotu has told you
[01:30] <lilrayray> isnt there an ubuntu channel dedicated to desktop effects though?
[01:30] <Huffalump> kaktuskatta - I don't know what the problem is, but to work around... just upload it to the web (then everyone can see)  http://imageshack.us/
[01:30] <IndyGunFreak> cypher1: he's not told me anything
[01:31] <cypher1> !releases | IndyGunFreak
[01:31] <ubotu> IndyGunFreak: Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases
[01:31] <phatrabbit> yes lilrayray

[01:31] <melon> what's the best method to get a usb webcam working? i keep getting error: could not connect to video device (/dev/video0). Please check connection.
[01:31] <IndyGunFreak> cypher1: i don't want feisty, he asked me where to downlod it, i said it should be on ubuntu.com
[01:31] <lilrayray> phatrabbit: thanks
[01:31] <phatrabbit> join #beryl
[01:31] <melon> regardless of what i try.. it doesn't seem to connect through ubuntu
[01:32] <Trentster> cypher1, I see now that this machine even tho its the same intel original motherboard its onboard nic is a gigabit marvell instead of a intel 10/100,  any idea how i go about getting the kernel to see it?
[01:32] <Ng> melon: I'd start by googling for the webcam model name/number and linux
[01:32] <Ng> melon: to find out if it's supported
[01:32] <kaktuskatta> I have now uploaded the picture to http://img20.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pmax5.jpg
[01:32] <kaktuskatta> If people can help, it would be nice
[01:33] <cypher1> Trentster, does lspci show up the card ?
[01:33] <Huffalump> kaktuskatta - it looks good to me.  can I ask you to describe the problem again?
[01:33] <Trentster> cypher1, yes, but not dmesg
[01:34] <F00BaR> okay
[01:34] <F00BaR> now
[01:34] <melon> it's just a digital camera with webcam capabilities.. everything else seems to work fine.. just the webcam itself.. i'll keep searching.. though i continue to run into dead ends
[01:34] <F00BaR> how do i set the vnc server to a different port
[01:34] <cypher1> Trentster, how about System->Administration->Networking
[01:34] <melon> cheers for the links though :)
[01:34] <kaktuskatta> Huffalump: Don't you see that 54GB is used on something? The disk is supposed to be blank
[01:35] <F00BaR> how do i change the VNC settings
[01:35] <F00BaR> port, server name, etc
[01:35] <Trentster> cypher1, its a dedicated server, console only, no X
[01:35] <kaktuskatta> Huffalump: I want to have a totally blank disk formatted with the ext2 filesystme
[01:35] <cypher1> F00BaR, please read the manuals
[01:35] <Huffalump> kaktuskatta - easily fixed.  take that partition and reformat it.
[01:36] <Ng> F00BaR: I'm not sure if vino (the server which provides the remote desktop) has options for that
[01:36] <tdn> IndyGunFreak, haven't been able to find them.
[01:36] <kaktuskatta> Huffalump: I tried, but still some space dissapears. And a folder named lost+found appears on the disk. This folder is empty
[01:36] <tdn> IndyGunFreak, is this the one: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/feisty/herd-5/ ?
[01:36] <IndyGunFreak> tdn: i don't know, try google.
[01:36] <Max_Steel_> hi
[01:36] <tdn> IndyGunFreak, I have been Googling for some time before I even asked in here!
[01:36] <Max_Steel_> hava XGL to ubuntu in any repository?
[01:37] <F00BaR> tightvnc only has instructions for windows
[01:37] <cypher1> Trentster, can you please paster your dmesg ?
[01:37] <thoreauputic> tdn: yes, herd 5 is a recent feisty alpha release
[01:37] <IndyGunFreak> tdn: well,i just googled "Download Ubuntu 7.04",  and got 590k hits
[01:37] <tdn> thoreauputic, ok. Thanks.
[01:37] <Trentster> cyphase, brb on phone
[01:37] <blackest> is it possible to upgrade libc6 from edgy in dapper
[01:37] <Huffalump> kaktuskatta - delete the partition entirely, so everything is unallocated.
[01:37] <cypher1> Trentster, ok!
[01:37] <Ng> blackest: that's almost certainly a really terrible idea
[01:38] <Max_Steel_> IndyGunFreak the ubuntu 7.04 have many programs like XGL?
[01:38] <blackest> I've got dependency problems
[01:38] <IndyGunFreak> Max_Steel_: unless you want problems, stick with Dapper/edgy until its final relese.
[01:38] <IndyGunFreak> lot of folks have been having issues, which is to be expected, as its still in alpha i do believe
[01:38] <Max_Steel_> hum
[01:39] <Ng> blackest: what kind of problems?
[01:39] <Max_Steel_> I wanna use the UBUNTU with XGL. Do you know the XGL?
[01:39] <thoreauputic> IndyGunFreak: seems fairly stable underneath, but there are some flaky apps :)
[01:39] <IndyGunFreak> Max_Steel_: I use beryl w/o issue.
[01:39] <IndyGunFreak> thoreauputic: yeah, lol, well i just know there's a lot of posts in here for help with it, i'll wait till a month or so after its release and download and install.
[01:39] <thoreauputic> Max_Steel_:  /join #ubuntu-effects
[01:39] <blackest> well slimserver is now broken for some reason it requires libcompresslzh or something which depends ... eventually down to lobc6
[01:39] <Max_Steel_> IndyGunFreak I dont understand...I dont speak english very well
[01:40] <blackest> libc6
[01:40] <IndyGunFreak> !xgl
[01:40] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[01:40] <thoreauputic> IndyGunFreak: it's looking pretty good, I think
[01:40] <Ng> blackest: are you not installing slimserver from the repositories?
[01:40] <IndyGunFreak> thoreauputic: i have no doubt.... but i don't feel like bein a guineapig
[01:40] <blackest> NG i guess i need an older version of the libcompresslzh
[01:40] <Ng> blackest: if you enable the universe repository you can just do sudo apt-get install slimserver
[01:40] <Max_Steel_> IndyGunFreak how ubuntu version I need get?
[01:41] <thoreauputic> IndyGunFreak: heh - I have a dual boot with Dapper :)
[01:41] <Ng> blackest: oh, no wait it's not in dapper
[01:41] <IndyGunFreak> thoreauputic: lol
[01:41] <blackest> yes slimserver is from the repositorys
[01:41] <IndyGunFreak> Max_Steel_: what do you mean, what version of Ubuntu are you using?
[01:41] <thoreauputic> IndyGunFreak: conservatism and extremism at the same address ;p
[01:41] <blackest> it could be the svn beryl has upset things
[01:41] <IndyGunFreak> thoreauputic: lol
[01:41] <Ng> blackest: you can't just take the binary .deb from edgy and install it on dapper, you'll need to rebuild it
[01:41] <Max_Steel_> IndyGunFreak Im without ubuntu now :( but I wanna use this
[01:41] <kaktuskatta> Huffalump: which should I choose here? http://img141.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pm2ie6.jpg
[01:42] <blackest> it was installed ok but this morning decided it was broken
[01:42] <IndyGunFreak> Max_Steel_: what type of video card
[01:42] <Max_Steel_> IndyGunFreak but I dont know the version with more repository
[01:42] <Huffalump> kaktuskatta - it is a single disk, correct?  one physical device, correct?  and you want to use everything entirely as ext2, correct?
[01:42] <IndyGunFreak> Max_Steel_: the repos are irrelevant in this case.
[01:42] <Max_Steel_> IndyGunFreak my video card is good... radeon xpress 200M
[01:42] <systemd0wn_> how do i restart my pcmcia card in Edgy?
[01:42] <kaktuskatta> Huffalump: Yes to all
[01:43] <Huffalump> kaktuskatta - then, choose Primary Partition
[01:43] <IndyGunFreak> Max_Steel_: i hae no doubt its good, its a quesiton of how hard it is to configure, and ati is a pain.
[01:43] <Ng> blackest: can you not upgrade the system to edgy? if you're doing svn beryl you can't care too much about stability, so running dapper seems unnecessary
[01:43] <IndyGunFreak> i never got it to work.
[01:43] <F00BaR> how do i change the VNC settings
[01:43] <F00BaR> port, server name, etc
[01:43] <F00BaR> how do i change the VNC settings
[01:43] <F00BaR> port, server name, etc
[01:43] <IndyGunFreak> Max_Steel_: did you install the drivers?
[01:43] <Ng> F00BaR: please don't repeat questions, I already told you vino can't do that. the server name will be the name of your machine and the port is unfortunately not configurable
[01:44] <doomnx> i managed to run UT2004 on kubuntu with OpenGL support, does that mean that I installed the nvidia drivers correctly?
[01:44] <F00BaR> im using TightVNC
[01:44] <F00BaR> or 'vncserver'
[01:44] <ikonia> doomnx: one way or another you have gl support on your card working
[01:44] <Huffalump> F00BaR - http://www.tightvnc.com/
[01:44] <Ng> F00BaR: you said you wanted to remote control your existing desktop. installing vncserver won't do that, it will give you a new desktop
[01:44] <Max_Steel_> IndyGunFreak I dont hava o ubuntu now
[01:44] <Max_Steel_> have
[01:44] <doomnx> if something had gone wrong would i be able to have opengl support?
[01:44] <IndyGunFreak> Max_Steel_: well, install ubuntu, install ati drivers, then install beryl/compiz.
[01:45] <doomnx> i mean, it doesn't support opengl out of the box, does it?
[01:45] <Max_Steel_> ok
[01:45] <madsrh> i can't update to Feisty!! I'm using  gksu "update-manager -c -d" but I get an error
[01:45] <Max_Steel_> IndyGunFreak how ubuntu version?
[01:45] <Trentster> cypher1, hi, its not picked up in dmesg, but it is picked up via lspci
[01:45] <Ng> madsrh: an error about authentication?
[01:45] <IndyGunFreak> Max_Steel_: 6.10 is the latest stable release
[01:45] <clust> Hi, how can I edit .deb files? I need to change som scripts inside of casper package.
[01:45] <thoreauputic> !feisty | madsrh

[01:47] <GeorgeJ> hello, i'm having problems with my hard drive, i'd like to boot from the buuntu live cd, but it gets stuck at mounting the root filesistem, how could i make it to not mount it?
[01:47] <CaptainMorgan> how can I get my hda1 to appear on my desktop?
[01:47] <Trentster> cypher1, I would love to paste it, but its on another machine that network interface does not work, so only way would be to type it out from the screen
[01:48] <cypher1> Trentster, ok leave it then
[01:48] <finalbeta> GeorgeJ: if you boot from the CD, the root filesystem is on the CD right? So did you check the CD's integrity?
[01:48] <cypher1> Trentster, i guess you may need to install the driver for your network card
[01:49] <GeorgeJ> the live cd is trying to mount the root from my filesystem
[01:49] <xurps> is there a tutorial about using windows and ubuntu at same machine?
[01:49] <GeorgeJ> if i remove the hard drive i have no problems booting from the live cd

[01:50] <CaptainMorgan> !ubutu tell CaptainMorgan about mp3

[01:51] <\rabies\> mahlzeit
[01:51] <snb> list
[01:52] <GeorgeJ> anyone got any ideeas of how i could stop the live cd from mounting my root filesistem?
[01:52] <Ng> systemd0wn_: other than just taking it out and putting it back in?
[01:52] <ucordes> \rabies\: servus
[01:52] <Ng> systemd0wn_: cardctl can simulate eject/insert events
[01:52] <Huffalump> thoreauputic - How did you setup a dual boot with two versions of Ubuntu?  that's an interesting concept to me.
[01:52] <cypher1> GeorgeJ, maybe you can try passing "root" command line to the kernel while booting
[01:53] <\rabies\> ups, wrong language
[01:53] <thoreauputic> Huffalump: just install the other one on its own partitions - grub recognises the bootable partitions and gives a menu on boot
[01:53] <thoreauputic> Huffalump: pretty easy really
[01:53] <GeorgeJ> cypher1: i just add "root" to the comand line?
[01:54] <systemd0wn_> Ng, thanks.
[01:54] <thoreauputic> Huffalump: I also have a Debian Sid chroot I can run simultaneously with Ubuntu - but that's a bit more involved :)
[01:54] <Huffalump> thoreauputic - Dumb question, won't the grub menu just say ubuntu and ubuntu?  I wouldn't readily know how to distinguish which is which...
[01:54] <thoreauputic> Huffalump: by kernel version
[01:55] <Huffalump> thoreauputic - With one Ubuntu install, grub already lists like 8 entries for Ubuntu...
[01:55] <IndyGunFreak> Huffalump: it will have the different kernel versions...
[01:55] <Huffalump> each with (I think) different kernel versions
[01:55] <IndyGunFreak> Huffalump: then just sudo gedit etc/grub/menu.lst and comment out the ones you don't need/use
[01:55] <thoreauputic> Huffalump: that's because you haven't uninstalled redundant kernels :)
[01:55] <thoreauputic> IndyGunFreak: better to use apt to uninstall them
[01:55] <Huffalump> thoreauputic - how do I go about uninstalling kernels I haven't used in months?
[01:56] <IndyGunFreak> thoreauputic: didn't know you could uninstall them to be truthful
[01:56] <thoreauputic> IndyGunFreak: use the package manager, Luke!
[01:56] <Huffalump> aha
[01:56] <IndyGunFreak> thoreauputic: what would i search for?
[01:56] <thoreauputic> Huffalump:  aptcache search linux-image to see
[01:56] <thoreauputic> umm apt-cache
[01:56] <thoreauputic> typo
[01:57] <thoreauputic> IndyGunFreak: or  dpkg -l linux-image*  to see which are installed
[01:57] <IndyGunFreak> thoreauputic: i jsut did a search in ySynaptic for "linux-image".. seems to have turned them up
[01:57] <Huffalump> thanks, thoreauputic
[01:57] <thoreauputic> IndyGunFreak: right - I'm so used to apt that I never think of that :)
[01:58] <seshomaru1234> people , hoe do i untar a gz file?
[01:58] <seshomaru1234> how...
[01:58] <IndyGunFreak> seshomaru1234: should extract simmilar to a zip file, then oyu have to compile it.
[01:58] <thoreauputic> seshomaru1234: gunzip file.gz
[01:58] <Huffalump> seshomarul1234 tar zxvf myfile.tar.gz
[01:58] <thoreauputic> Huffalump: no, that's a tar archive compressed
[01:59] <thoreauputic> he wants to un gzip
[01:59] <seshomaru1234> thoreauputic, gunzip did the trick !
[01:59] <Huffalump> thoreauputic - caught me.  i had zero idea there was any difference.
[01:59] <seshomaru1234> thanks!
[01:59] <thoreauputic> seshomaru1234: :)
[02:00] <sandeep> hiu
[02:00] <thoreauputic> Huffalump: tar= tape archive (originally) gzip = gnu zip ( more or less)
[02:00] <sandeep> hiu
[02:00] <PriceChild> !hi | sandeep
[02:00] <ubotu> sandeep: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[02:00] <sandeep> tanx
[02:00] <Huffalump> thoreauputic - so, a .tar.gz  is a tar, right?  i always use the tar command.  never herd (hehe) of gnu zip
[02:01] <PriceChild> Huffalump, tar.gz is a gzipped tar ;)
[02:01] <Huffalump> lies!
[02:01] <sandeep> can i any one help me
[02:01] <PriceChild> !ask | sandeep
[02:01] <ubotu> sandeep: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:01] <Huffalump> sandeep, ask your question
[02:01] <thoreauputic> Huffalump:  a tar is not compressed - you can compress it with gzip or bzip2  for example
[02:02] <sandeep> how to install downloaded files in ubuntu
[02:02] <F00BaR> with remote desktop in ubuntu
[02:02] <F00BaR> how do i set it to auto start
[02:02] <thoreauputic> sandeep: you know about install/remove and synaptic, right ?
[02:02] <F00BaR> on boot
[02:02] <thoreauputic> !synaptic > sandeep
[02:03] <thoreauputic> sandeep: you hardly ever need to download and install - the package manager does it for you
[02:03] <Huffalump> sandeep, most software should be downloaded through the Synaptic Package Manager.  You can tell it what software you want and it will download, plus install.
[02:03] <thoreauputic> right
[02:03] <sandeep> kaffiene player

[02:07] <thoreauputic> Askar: cracking password is off topic here
[02:07] <xurps> is only desktop environment the difference about ubuntu and kubuntu?

[02:09] <thoreauputic> !rootsudo >sandeep
[02:09] <thoreauputic> xurps: depends - not much difference
[02:09] <genii> F00BaR Perhaps try putting:  gnome-rdp
[02:10] <thoreauputic> xurps: if you want a faster desktop try xubuntu or install xubuntu-desktop
[02:10] <genii> F00BaR You can see if this would work to run the program by typing it in a terminal/console

[02:17] <sandeep> in add/rem when i try to install kaff it gives kaffeine' is not available in any software channel
[02:17] <sandeep> The application might not support your system architecture.

[02:18] <foutrelis> I want to convert a 3gp video to flv. I tried with ffmpeg but the flv video had no sound. After searching with google I learned that I need to compile ffmpeg from source with amr support. But is there an easier way? :\

[02:19] <sportphantom> moring!
[02:19] <sportphantom> morning i ment, hows going everyone?
[02:20] <shaolin_> is it possible to change the partition size of the hard drive I am currently running ubuntu from?
[02:21] <sportphantom> theoreticaly it is if you have that much free space to cut off from the other partiison
[02:22] <kaktuskatta> Huffalump: I have now formatted the drive to primary and the dissapeared space is now 9,7GB
[02:22] <shaolin_> What would i use to d that?
[02:23] <tra1> hello, i somehow managed to screw up my partition table, all i did is reinstall windows and reconfigure grub, i wanted to resize some partitions so i started gparted, it gave me this error: "Error: Can't have overlapping partitions." and the drive is shown as emty, it has no partitons on it, fdisk -lu has this output: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/897051, how could i fix this?
[02:23] <foutrelis> !3gp
[02:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about 3gp - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[02:24] <slick> Hi, I'm new to linux and have just started using ubuntu and need pyrex to be installed to get SynCE to work, does anyone know how to install pyrex?
[02:24] <sportphantom> shaolin, most easly it would be done under grub for sure
[02:24] <megafauna> Hi, how do I download Amarok 1.4.5
[02:25] <Telep> GMWeezel: try the 'lp' command
[02:26] <tra1> megafauna: you could start synaptic or aptituted(if your running on kubuntu) and search for amarok, if the version you are looking for isnt there, go to their website and built it from source, or look for the ".deb"
[02:26] <shaolin_> i'm going to try  ext2resize
[02:26] <GMWeezel> Telep: perfect; thanks
[02:26] <genii> enscript is good for cli printing
[02:26] <tra1> shaolin_: try out gparted
[02:26] <sportphantom> amarok => ftp://carroll.aset.psu.edu/pub/kde/stable/amarok/1.4.5/src/amarok-1.4.5.tar.bz2
[02:27] <tra1> is there any way i could repair my partition table? parted says its overlapped, this is fdisk -lu's output: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/897051

[02:29] <sportphantom> trenster, network cars are week link of ubuntu, just reinstall kernel and it will work
[02:29] <IndyGunFreak> sportphantom: i alwyas considered wireless more fo a weak point than network cards
[02:30] <choppytwice> hey, how can i find 'xchat' in the synaptic manager? (i just installed xubuntu)
[02:30] <genii> systemd0wn_: Have you tried installing something from command line with apt-get ? Some terminal output with errors couls be useful for debugging.
[02:30] <kaktuskatta> Huffalump:http://img401.imageshack.us/my.php?image=diskwm6.jpg
[02:30] <IndyGunFreak> choppytwice: just open synaptic, and do a search for "xchat"
[02:30] <systemd0wn_> genii, i will try that.
[02:31] <Trentster> Sportphantom how do i reinstall the kernel?
[02:31] <padge> Can anyone recommend a MIDI player that will use my onboard wavetable?
[02:31] <variant> padge: kmidi
[02:31] <choppytwice> IndyGunFreak: well, it doesn't bring any results.
[02:32] <padge> variant: Is that the same as KMid?
[02:32] <variant> padge: no idea
[02:32] <variant> padge: I don't think so
[02:32] <tra1> is there any way i could repair my partition table? parted says its overlapped, this is fdisk -lu's output: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/897051, sorry for repeating but im a bit desperate :(
[02:33] <IndyGunFreak> choppytwice: try looking for xchat-gnome
[02:33] <padge> variant: Doesn't show up on the package list :(
[02:34] <choppytwice> ow can i find 'xchat' in the synaptic manager? (i just installed xubuntu) - the search option doesn't bring any results when i type 'xchat'
[02:34] <Huffalump> kaktuskatta - what is in lost+found?  anything valuable or can you just delete it?
[02:34] <wolfspirit> has anyone been getting this message in their kernel at all?
[02:34] <wolfspirit> wolflaptop kernel: [17228514.204000]  Uhhuh. NMI received. Dazed and confused, but trying to continue
[02:34] <wolfspirit> Message from syslogd@wolflaptop at Sun Mar 11 01:15:51 2007 ...
[02:34] <wolfspirit> wolflaptop kernel: [17228514.204000]  You probably have a hardware problem with your RAM chips
[02:34] <PriceChild> choppytwice, you need to enabled universe
[02:34] <choppytwice> IndyGunFreak: 'xchat' doesn't bring results
[02:34] <PriceChild> !universe | choppytwice
[02:34] <ubotu> choppytwice: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[02:34] <IndyGunFreak> choppytwice: its in universe, you don't hve universe enabled.
[02:34] <IndyGunFreak> just realized that
[02:34] <variant> wolfspirit: haha, nice
[02:34] <choppytwice> what is universe?
[02:35] <choppytwice> ok i'm off to reada bout i
[02:35] <IndyGunFreak> choppytwice: you can also do this.. Open Synaptic/ Settings Menu/ Repositories.. check all the boxes on the first tab except  source code, hit ok, then reload snaptic
[02:35] <AT_YARRAGI> yaa ite le ..
[02:35] <choppytwice> about it*
[02:35] <synth_> hey guys is there here someone from Seattle area that can help me solving a problem?
[02:35] <AT_YARRAGI> yaa ite le ..
[02:35] <padge> variant: It says it's a MIDI to WAV converter/player
[02:35] <AT_YARRAGI> yaa ite le ..
[02:35] <Huffalump> choppytwice, all the software repositories are basically divided into different groups.  such as "Free software"  and "Open Source software"  et cetera.  By default, Ubuntu comes with the most legally conservative option enabled, but you can choose to expand your horizons by activating the "universe" repository.
[02:35] <choppytwice> IndyGunFreak: source code is already check
[02:36] <padge> variant: it also depends on timidity, which I have, but seems to use some software synth stuff
[02:36] <variant> wolfspirit: try runing a memtest, can take several days. but that seems to be what it's suggesting
[02:36] <wolfspirit> variant: I just got this laptop and had fedora on it for about 4 days or so and never saw that message.. just started happening in ubuntu though about 4 days ago or so..  I'm hoping it's kernel related and not hardware related
[02:36] <IndyGunFreak> ok, well, check whatevers not checked, then reload
[02:36] <choppytwice> ok
[02:36] <variant> padge: sorry, was just a suggestion, there is a ton of midi software avaialbel. try google
[02:36] <wolfspirit> variant: I ran the memtest and I let it run all night long and a few hours in the morning and didn't find anything
[02:36] <choppytwice> including 'software restricted by copyright or legal issues' ?
[02:36] <padge> variant: Alrighty... Thanks anyway
[02:36] <megafauna> tral: I found the .deb bash line but my system sasy that d
[02:36] <variant> wolfspirit: did you let it finnish?
[02:37] <megafauna> tral: I found the .deb bash line but my system sasy that "deb" is an unknown command
[02:37] <IndyGunFreak> choppytwice: only becuse it has access to codecs to play mp3's, etc.. don't orry about it.
[02:37] <wolfspirit> variant: no.. it looked like it looped and started over again
[02:37] <variant> if it's an error that doesn't completly hang the system then it could be a very slight memory issue and you will have to let memtest run untill complte
[02:37] <wolfspirit> variant: but memtest won't fix the issue right?
[02:37] <variant> wolfspirit: no, it does many tests which can take days (by nesessity) for example, write data to an area of ram and check back in a couple of days to see if it's still intact
[02:38] <matthew1429> what is the bash command to check md5?
[02:38] <kaktuskatta> Huffalump: I can delete it since it's empty. It was automaticly created
[02:38] <variant> matthew1429: md5sum
[02:38] <CBunny> matthew1429, md5sum(1)
[02:38] <matthew1429> ty
[02:38] <wolfspirit> variant: that sucks.. there has got to be a more efficient memory test
[02:38] <kaktuskatta> when I deleted it a new folder called recycled appeared
[02:38] <kaktuskatta> that folder was not removable
[02:39] <Huffalump> choppytwice, it's a philosophical description... letting you know that 'universe' contains software which is not Free in its nature, but may come with legal restrictions (no different than you find for Windows or Mac software, for example)
[02:39] <variant> wolfspirit: if you want to see if the memory is capable of storing data efficiently over any length of time then there is no other way at all
[02:39] <sportphantom> to trenster: kernel reinstall guide @http://occy.net/node/142
[02:39] <variant> s/eficiently/reliable
[02:39] <Huffalump> kaktuskatta - flush it.  and now you should be very close to full size
[02:39] <Huffalump> kaktuskatta - I think you're good to go =] 
[02:39] <kaktuskatta> Huffalump: What do you mean "flush it"
[02:40] <Huffalump> kaktuskatta - kill it, stab it, step on it, burn it, throw it, remove it, delete it, and otherwise obliterate it =oD
[02:40] <variant> wolfspirit: try ram from annother machine, if there is no error then you know what the issue is.
[02:40] <sportphantom> huffalump, well said :)
[02:40] <kaktuskatta> Huffalump: I didn't manage to remove the folder "recycled"
[02:40] <padge> variant: Okay, Google search says that its features have been merged into KMid and kmidi has been discontinued... I've tried to use KMid before, but it's silent
[02:40] <wolfspirit> variant: problem.. this is a laptop
[02:40] <variant> feisty automatic codec downloading is excellent, just though I would drop that in :)
[02:40] <padge> variant: Any ideas?
[02:41] <kaktuskatta> The dissapearing space is still there
[02:41] <wolfspirit> variant: I don't have ram from another machine to try
[02:41] <synth_> how I can the exact model of my video card in Ubuntu?
[02:41] <Huffalump> kaktuskatta - show me your Partition Magic view again
[02:41] <wolfspirit> variant: I will probably have to get Dell to help out :(
[02:41] <variant> wolfspirit: that is a problem indeed, call the manufacturer. unless it is just a warning that is non fatal. the kernel may be able to work around the errors
[02:41] <jblake> how do I upgrade one package? Just "apt-get install whatever"?
[02:41] <kaktuskatta> I managed to write to the disk from windows now anyway. Maybe I should just live http://img20.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pmax5.jpg
[02:41] <kaktuskatta> http://img141.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pm2ie6.jpg
[02:41] <jrib> jblake: yes
[02:41] <sportphantom> jes jblake
[02:41] <variant> jrib: yes, apt-get update if there is an updated version you want
[02:41] <jblake> ok, thanks jrib  and sportphantom
[02:42] <variant> jblake: that was for you
[02:42] <kaktuskatta> Maybe I should just accept that it needs some space for nothing...=
[02:42] <kaktuskatta> :(
[02:42] <jblake> ok, thanks all
[02:42] <variant> jblake: you have to apt-get update before apt-get isntall packagenaem
[02:42] <jblake> variant,  yeah
[02:42] <Huffalump> kaktuskatta - those are the old screenshots
[02:42] <Huffalump> kaktuskatta - I have a hard time to believe it's exactly the same now!
[02:42] <sportphantom> apt-get is just installtion
[02:43] <kaktuskatta> ok, one moment
[02:43] <wolfspirit> variant: it seems to not really do anything to the system itself.. just get these errors.. would you ignore them?
[02:43] <variant> wolfspirit: if I wasn't able to replace the ram then yes, it's possible that it is a kernel bug too though
[02:44] <choppytwice> IndyGunFreak: thanks
[02:44] <wolfspirit> variant: well I probably could replace it.. I have a 3 year warranty.. just don't want to have to send the damn thing off when I just got it
[02:44] <IndyGunFreak> choppytwice: no prob
[02:44] <IndyGunFreak> PriceChild: i thought it was in main.
[02:44] <variant> wolfspirit: hold on a sec, i am looking into the error
[02:44] <IndyGunFreak> but i think its cuz x-chat sucks, and xchat-gnome roxxxx~..lol
[02:44] <Huffalump> IndyGunFreak - sending the poor boy off to the wolves of intellectual property eh?  *cluck, cluck*
[02:45] <IndyGunFreak> Huffalump: lol
[02:45] <kaktuskatta> Huffalump:http://img20.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pm3ei5.png
[02:45] <Huffalump> kaktuskatta - looks much better
[02:45] <wolfspirit> variant: I looked it up as well and it seemed that mainly servers got this and all people did really was try to do the memtest and then you never hear from them again in the forums
[02:46] <Huffalump> kaktuskatta - now, what is in F: ?
[02:46] <IndyGunFreak> kaktuskatta: are you still on this partitioning mission?.. man, by now i'd have just deleted windows...lol
[02:46] <kaktuskatta> Huffalump:nothing
[02:46] <Huffalump> kaktuskatta - do you have Show Hidden Folders enabled?
[02:46] <kaktuskatta> IndyGunFreak: I've been back and forth from the comp
[02:46] <variant> wolfspirit: yeah, seems that it's not going to be a fatal flaw
[02:46] <IndyGunFreak> kaktuskatta: i'm just kiddin, hope you get it going
[02:46] <Huffalump> kaktuskatta - rather, please very that  you do have Show Hidden Folders enabled
[02:47] <Huffalump> verify
[02:47] <choppytwice> IndyGunFreak: when i'll restart i shall see the new programs in the applications menu?
[02:47] <IndyGunFreak> choppytwice: should be there now.
[02:47] <kaktuskatta> Huffalump: Yes I have
[02:47] <neo2dot0> how to choose kdm or gdm?
[02:47] <IndyGunFreak> if you installed it.
[02:47] <variant> wolfspirit: you can disable the nmi_watchdog timer that might get rid of those messages
[02:47] <Huffalump> kaktuskatta - And in your Recycle Bin, is it empty?  Must have something in it...
[02:47] <rwxr-xr--> I am trying to update avaliable packages but when i press mark all update the error screen comes " Could not Update the system! Fix Broken packages first" how i fix this problem? i tried sudo apt-get clean then sudo apt-get upgrade.. but damn thing still there.

[02:50] <porcho> hi there. I'm looking for a *windows* opensource alternative to nero. I want to create vcds using pictures and movies. anyone know of some program?
[02:50] <kaktuskatta> Huffalump: Do I Just have to accept that some space will be unusable?
[02:50] <rwxr-xr--> thanks variant  :>
[02:51] <Huffalump> kaktuskatta - I'm a bit stuck like you, then.  I'm trying to think of what is taking up that space.  In Explorer, if you right click on F: and choose properties... does the information match what PM says?
[02:51] <variant> porcho: dunno about vcd's with images but k3b is the premier gnu cd burner
[02:51] <rwxr-xr--> variant, : any idea how can i fix?
[02:51] <kaktuskatta> Huffalump: YEs
[02:51] <variant> rwxr-xr--: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[02:51] <variant> rwxr-xr--: beond that i dunno really
[02:52] <porcho> variant: I'm looking for a software which runs under windows...
[02:52] <slick> HI, I've just installed a package and another installer is not recognising it, I'm getting the error "No package 'libwbxml2' found
[02:52] <slick> Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
[02:52] <slick> installed software in a non-standard prefix.
[02:52] <slick> Alternatively, you may set the environment variables WBXML2_CFLAGS
[02:52] <slick> and WBXML2_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
[02:52] <slick> See the pkg-config man page for more details." does anyone know how to adjust the "PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable"
[02:52] <rwxr-xr--> i tried it.. :<
[02:53] <shaolin_> how do you start an application in gnome as root?
[02:53] <doomnx> is there any lcd monitor calibration software for (k)ubuntu?
[02:53] <variant> porcho: why are you asking here then?
[02:53] <alitrix> shaolin_: sudo
[02:53] <Huffalump> kaktuskatta - Earlier you mentioned there was something you could not delete.  Is that resolved now?
[02:53] <alitrix> oh, gnmome
[02:53] <kaktuskatta> Huffalump: sorry, no. Windows claims that I have used 24GB, while PM says that I've only used 9,7
[02:53] <shaolin_> thats terminal
[02:53] <alitrix> gnome*
[02:53] <CzarAlex> variant where can I find an example of a proper `date` syntax to change my time ahead an hour OR where can I find ntp command info?
[02:53] <shaolin_> not mouse
[02:53] <variant> shaolin_: if it's graphical use gksudo, command line then sudo
[02:53] <shaolin_> ok
[02:53] <Cyrus25801> variant: how do i check what gate way i am currently using
[02:53] <Huffalump> kaktuskatta - That's a significant difference.
[02:53] <alitrix> idd, gksudo :)
[02:53] <variant> CzarAlex: man date and man ntpclient
[02:54] <variant> CzarAlex: or man ntpd
[02:54] <porcho> variant: because I know a lot of people here knows a lot about foss :-)
[02:54] <kaktuskatta> Huffalump: I know ;) I were a bit to quick
[02:54] <CzarAlex> var ah thanky. i was trying man ntp
[02:54] <abadi2005>  how to sync O2 XDA II using infra red?
[02:54] <shaolin_> when i start QTParted it says not started as rooot..
[02:55] <Huffalump> kaktuskatta - I'm going to run out of ideas soonish without being there in person (I think better when I can tinker).  Let's close PM and remove the drive temporarily.  Then plug it back in and let's see if Windows says the same information or something changed.
[02:55] <shaolin_> no device found. maybe you're not using root user
[02:55] <Cyrus25801> how do i check what gateway i am currently using
[02:55] <kaktuskatta> Huffalump:ok
[02:56] <choppytwice> how can i add buttons to the quick shortcut menu in the upper screen in xfce - xbuntu
[02:56] <kaktuskatta> Huffalump:the same thing again
[02:56] <Huffalump> kaktuskatta - I cannot think of a single good reason you should have to lose 9 (or 24) gigs.  There is none.
[02:56] <kaktuskatta> Huffalump: the disk didn't dissapear in windows when I removed it though...
[02:57] <moosa> will ubuntu boot on a i6400 with a intel 945m video card?
[02:57] <kaktuskatta> Huffalump: It only said that the link to the disk war reffering to an invalid location. I think this has something to do with the ext2 syste
[02:57] <kaktuskatta> m
[02:58] <Huffalump> kaktuskatta - it's USB, right?
[02:58] <kaktuskatta> Huffalump: yes
[02:58] <Huffalump> kaktuskatta - You should probably disconnect it the proper way, using that 'remove USB device' tool near the windows clock
[02:58] <linxeh> moosa: inspiron ?
[02:59] <choppytwice> how can i see what is running in terminal and then kill it?
[02:59] <moosa> yes
[02:59] <TheHobbit> hi people, I've a problem, after installing ubuntu linux on my desktop I find myself unable to boot in windows, actually it start booting and then windows complains (with a nice BSOD) that it's unable to found root device..... WTF? anyone can help?
[02:59] <linxeh> moosa: yes, it should do. I use Ubuntu on my dell inspiron 9300 (though that has ATI graphics) and on a Dell latitude d800 (nvidia) with no problems
[02:59] <jrib> choppytwice: ps and kill
[02:59] <kaktuskatta> Huffalump:"the device cannot be stopped right now. try stopping it later"
[03:00] <Huffalump> heh
[03:00] <genii> choppytwice ps ax|more  will list all things. then find the number to far left of offending process, and after use: kill -9 ###
[03:00] <jrib> choppytwice: don't use -9 unless you have to
[03:00] <genii> jrib Sorry, habit :)
[03:00] <moosa> linxeh: is it suitable for me to dual boot i need windows for some of my pojects
[03:01] <choppytwice> genii what is ### ?
[03:01] <Huffalump> kaktuskatta - this is a real pig, because you're so close.  You could try rebooting Windows, verify if there's any change.  Or go into Ubuntu and use that partitioner at this point, since it should be a gimme.   I'm running out of steam on this because I cannot think of what in the world would occupy that space, if it's all showing empty.
[03:01] <kaktuskatta> Huffalump: I now removed the disk in windows disk management, so now it's unallocated
[03:01] <choppytwice> i am in love with xfce
[03:01] <linxeh> moosa: yes, I did that for a while. I found I could run my windows programs under linux with WINE though, so I ditched windows. You can also run Windows in a Virtual Machine (eg VMWare) from Ubuntu too if you want
[03:01] <F00BaR> #### is the PID number
[03:01] <Huffalump> choppytwice, why?
[03:01] <genii> choppytwice ### is the number on far left on same line as the name of the offending program/process to kill
[03:01] <F00BaR> choppytwice, #### is the PID number
[03:02] <choppytwice> F00BaR:  why kill -9 why not -8
[03:02] <choppytwice> Huffalump: so comfortable
[03:02] <F00BaR> choppytwice, thats just the way it is
[03:02] <moosa> i need windows for game dev actully (directX) so cant lose it yet
[03:02] <F00BaR> choppytwice, thats just the way it is-8 is not PID
[03:02] <choppytwice> the nwhat -8 is
[03:02] <Incompetnce> what programs are available on ubuntu to make use of your computers idle time? stuff like SETIathome etc?
[03:02] <tra1> how could one repairs his partition table?
[03:03] <tra1> repair*
[03:03] <linxeh> -8 sends an FPE signal to the process, not KILL
[03:03] <tra1> mine somehow got overlapped
[03:03] <choppytwice> tral get gparted
[03:03] <jblake> choppytwice, type "kill -l" in console to see why
[03:03] <kaktuskatta> Huffalump: I think I have found something! There are two arrows on the bars next to the disks in PM. The one on the left is called "2GB boundary", the other one is "1024 cylinder boundary"
[03:03] <tra1> gparted shows the drive as unalocated
[03:03] <TheHobbit> nobody has a clue about my problem?
[03:03] <jblake> choppytwice, it lists the signals
[03:04] <BrianB04> Good morning all.
[03:04] <moosa> one thing about the built in play buttons how can i use them on linux
[03:04] <linxeh> moosa: on my ubuntu box most of them just work
[03:04] <F00BaR> how do i install an ftp server+
[03:04] <linxeh> moosa: well, mute, volume work
[03:04] <kaktuskatta> Huffalump: These arrows were differently placed when I chose logical drive
[03:04] <chris2077> hey all, i am having a sound problem, ie there is no sound, its not muted, help me out  please
[03:04] <linxeh> moosa: so I assume one can configure a linux media player to work too (maybe they are configured to play audio CDs or something already, dont know)
[03:05] <BrianB04> I wonder if someone might have a recommendation for a piece of software for Linux. I want a way that when I create/save a file in my home directory, it replicates in another directory, any software like that?
[03:05] <linxeh> chris2077: run the volume control
[03:05] <choppytwice> jblake: what are theses signals?
[03:05] <linxeh> BrianB04: rsync ?
[03:05] <BrianB04> I want a bit of an automated system, so sort of a raid but in software.
[03:05] <Huffalump> kaktuskatta - Well, what you have/want *is* a primary partition and there's no reason to make a logical partition.
[03:05] <linxeh> BrianB04: why not run software RAID then ?
[03:06] <moosa> linxeh i think they are built to interact with direct media
[03:06] <kaktuskatta> Huffalump: when I choose "primary partition" PM says: This partition crosses the 1024 cylinder boundary line and may not be bootable
[03:06] <jblake> choppytwice, google it, it's OT
[03:06] <TheHobbit> hi people, I've a problem, after installing ubuntu linux on my desktop I find myself unable to boot in windows, actually it start booting and then windows complains (with a nice BSOD) that it's unable to found root device..... WTF? anyone can help?
[03:06] <linxeh> moosa: they just send key events
[03:06] <BrianB04> linxeh: The directory I want to replicate too is a external USB drive though, different size than the drive in th emachine.
[03:06] <moosa> which have no use on linux systems?
[03:06] <Huffalump> kaktuskatta - Yep.
[03:06] <linxeh> moosa: they just send keyboard events as far as i know. you can map them to whatever you want
[03:07] <kaktuskatta> Huffalump: What should I set the clustersize to? 1,2 or 4k?
[03:07] <Huffalump> kaktuskatta - leave it at the default
[03:07] <moosa> one more question
[03:07] <Huffalump> I'll be back.
[03:07] <mewt> Im trying to install an HP PSC 1215 that is hosted on a windows box, but i cant seem to manage to print properly on it
[03:07] <moosa> i am planning to do some ASM
[03:07] <moosa> on ubuntu
[03:07] <linxeh> uhuh
[03:07] <mewt> On the forums i found that i should use hplip instead of the default drivers
[03:08] <moosa> any recommanded assemblers?
[03:08] <linxeh> why?! springs to mind ;-)
[03:08] <K3rl0u4rn> hi people, I have a Canon 400D camera that worked with ubuntu linux 2/3 weeks ago, have updated software since then with no connection of the camera, today, it doesn't work. Have I broken something ?
[03:09] <mewt> anyone ?
[03:09] <TheHobbit> moosa, gas
[03:10] <kbrooks> SURVEY: Why did you choose Ubuntu?
[03:10] <BrianB04> Now, normally I would think to setup the USB as a home directory, but it wouldn't work due to the USB loading so late in the boot process.
[03:10] <Danltn> How much space does Ubuntu need?
[03:11] <linxeh> moosa: nasm, gas are the ones I know of, but seriously, eugh :)
[03:11] <variant> Danltn: a gig or so
[03:11] <tra1> did it work wolfspirit?
[03:11] <linxeh> Danltn: how long is a piece of string ?
[03:11] <variant> Danltn: more if you want to use it for anythin
[03:11] <moosa> programming my xgs linxeh
[03:11] <variant> Danltn: server version less, less still if you remove a bunch of stuff from it
[03:11] <Danltn> Sec, let me PM you.
[03:11] <linxeh> moosa: xgs ?
[03:11] <choppytwice> there's a quick shortcut to firefox at the top of the screen in XFCE, how can i add more quick shortcuts?
[03:11] <tra1> how long does gparted run for usualy?
[03:12] <linxeh> tra1: depends what you get it to do I guess
[03:12] <tra1> well, i ust did a gpart /dev/hda
[03:12] <Danltn> Oh yeah, this is FreeNode.
[03:12] <mejde> "rhythmbox: error while loading shared libraries: rhythmbox: unsupported version 10299 of Verneed record"?
[03:12] <Danltn> Forgot. :$
[03:12] <tra1> found 2 partitions almost instaly, then it seems to freeze, im trying to recover my partiton table
[03:12] <TheHobbit> I asked twice, I'll thry asking a third.... Maybe someone knowing the answer arrived....
[03:12] <TheHobbit> hi people, I've a problem, after installing ubuntu linux on my desktop I find myself unable to boot in windows, actually it start booting and then windows complains (with a nice BSOD) that it's unable to found root device..... WTF? anyone can help?
[03:13] <tra1> linxeh: /dev/hda is a 80gig drive
[03:14] <Danltn> What different install options can you set during Ubuntu installation?
[03:14] <variant> TheHobbit: how did you install exactly?
[03:14] <wolfspirit> variant: well I went ahead and swapped the ram chips with each other (basically just reseating them) and then passed that kernel parameter too.. we'll see
[03:14] <TheHobbit> variant In the simplest way, using the CD dowloaded from ubuntu.com
[03:14] <mejde> is it just me or has ubuntu gotten worse and worse on the stability front since dapper?
[03:14] <variant> TheHobbit: try booting in safe mode, I am not aware of any situation where a normal ubuntu isntallation would damage the windows install unless you actualy perform some action to do so
[03:15] <linxeh> tra1: sorry, I don't really use it - I always partition from the command line
[03:15] <genii> mejde I tend to agree
[03:15] <linxeh> mejde: mine are rock solid
[03:15] <variant> TheHobbit: did you use the cd to resize the partitions?
[03:15] <TheHobbit> variant, I'm sure its something I did, but I can not understand what....
[03:15] <variant> TheHobbit: what version of windows is it? vista?
[03:15] <mejde> edgy wasn't edgy in the sense it was meant to be... and feisty... well.. it doesn't look much better this far
[03:15] <variant> TheHobbit: did you resize the parititons?
[03:15] <TheHobbit> variant, nope, I used it for adding partitions in the unused space
[03:15] <Danltn> Variant, would 3GB partition work for a decent verson of Ubuntu?
[03:16] <variant> Danltn: it would work yes, not much room to play with though
[03:16] <mejde> wtf
[03:16] <TheHobbit> I had left space when windows was installed
[03:16] <variant> mejde: have you tried feisty? has some nice new features. like automatically downloading codecs etc for movies
[03:16] <Danltn> I only have 4.5GB left from my Windows Installation, how much should I assign to Ubuntu?
[03:16] <variant> Danltn: 4.5GB
[03:17] <mejde> variant: I'm running it now... and what do I care about automatic codec downloading when rhythmbox won't even start?!?
[03:17] <wolfspirit> TheHobbit: I think there is an option to 'use the whole disk'  if you chose that then it would have wiped your install of windows
[03:17] <mejde> oh, this is nice
[03:17] <dustybin> Ubuntu an ancient african word meaning "I can't install Debian"
[03:17] <variant> TheHobbit: well, i reccomend you boot to safe mode in windows if you havent already tried that
[03:17] <mejde> Message from syslogd@incendo at Sun Mar 11 14:57:58 2007 ...
[03:17] <mejde> incendo kernel: [221731.228000]  Eeek! page_mapcount(page) went negative! (-1)
[03:17] <TheHobbit> wolfspirit, I'm may be stupid, but not to that point:)
[03:17] <variant> mejde: it's an alpha release, you should expect that
[03:17] <Danltn> Variant, I still want to use Windows :(
[03:17] <Danltn> I'll try 3GB and see how it works.
[03:17] <mejde> variant: the thing is... edgy behaved much the same way when it was stable
[03:17] <variant> Danltn: buy a new hd. 3gb will work though
[03:18] <Danltn> I know I need a new HD
[03:18] <Danltn> Getting new PC in June.
[03:18] <mejde> programs crashing left and right... kernel panics and whatnot
[03:18] <Danltn> Also, how do I uninstall Ubuntu?
[03:18] <TheHobbit> variant, I'm gonna try....
[03:18] <variant> mejde: for you perhaps.. on the hardware I tried it and feisty on I haven't had many problems iwth the dev versios and none that i can remember with the stable
[03:19] <mejde> variant: same thing at my parents computer... and a friends... with edgy that is, they don't run feisty yet
[03:19] <variant> Danltn: in windows format the ubuntu partition and run fdisk /mbr to rewrite the windows bootloader
[03:19] <Cyrus25801> i just installed ssh on my server and am using the follwing command to login. ssh adminname@ip address. but what is the default  password
[03:19] <Lord_Maynoth> anyone know a repo that has xfce 4.4.0
[03:19] <variant> Cyrus25801: the password is the same password that your user would log in as normaly
[03:19] <Danltn> Is there anyway to make the Ubuntu installation smaller? For example not including certain parts.
[03:19] <variant> Cyrus25801: there is no "default" password
[03:20] <billy> greetings from Sirius Prime.

[03:20] <Cyrus25801> variant i tried that but it says incorrect pass
[03:20] <billy> is it possible to configure the printer to print the last page first and the first page last?
[03:20] <variant> Cyrus25801: then you are using the wrong password
[03:20] <billy> i've looked for the option and can find it nowwhere.
[03:20] <Cyrus25801> variant: this is the howto im following http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu6.06_dtc_isp_server
[03:21] <variant> Cyrus25801: what is te exact messaget hat ssh returns? (wrong pass is not a message ssh has ever returned
[03:21] <slick> See the pkg-config man page for more details." does anyone know how to adjust the "PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable"
[03:21] <slick> sorry didnt mean to post that
[03:21] <Cyrus25801> variant: premission denied pls try again
[03:21] <paraidomat> murad
[03:22] <variant> Cyrus25801: where it says "adminname@192.168.1.15" you need to replace adminname with the name of the user that is conecting
[03:22] <twager> Lord_Maynoth: Foresight ?
[03:22] <Cyrus25801> variant:
[03:23] <TheHobbit> variant, still the same problem: unaccessible boot device

[03:23] <crdlb> billy, some programs have it such as openoffice (iirc), but it's not in the standard libgnomeprint dialog,  It is however in the new Gtkprint dialog which most programs should use if Feisty
[03:23] <wolfspirit> Cyrus25801: do you even get a password prompt?
[03:23] <crdlb> in*
[03:23] <TheHobbit> variant, windows is on /dev/hda1 wich is marked as bootable....
[03:24] <Cyrus25801> wolfspirit: yes i do
[03:24] <suterfugio> I want somebody to help me install VMWARE WORKSTATION not the player version
[03:24] <billy> crdlb: OK.  thank you for that explanation.
[03:24] <suterfugio> Who can help me?
[03:24] <variant> TheHobbit: if you have a windows xp cd handy i suggest you use it's rescue mode (this will wite the ubuntu bootloader so you will have to re install grub via the live cd)
[03:24] <wolfspirit> suterfugio: yes sir
[03:24] <suterfugio> alright
[03:24] <LaNCeloT_RW> anyone know a good bittorrent download manager?
[03:24] <wolfspirit> suterfugio: it's usually nicer to ask and not tell ;)
[03:24] <suterfugio> let's get it done!! lol
[03:24] <variant> suterfugio: ask on vmware forum or mailinglist or phone in support, this is an ubuntu support channel
[03:24] <mejde> oh well... I guess I'll reboot and see if that helps...
[03:24] <crdlb> LaNCeloT_RW, deluge for gui, and rtorrent for command line
[03:24] <TheHobbit> variant, windows 2000 will do? that's what's installed
[03:24] <grimboy> LaNCeloT_RW, You mean client? I use ktorrent.
[03:25] <variant> TheHobbit: if it's cd has a rescue mode then yes
[03:25] <LaNCeloT_RW> crdlb, thanks man
[03:25] <LaNCeloT_RW> grimboy, i use genome
[03:25] <LaNCeloT_RW> gnome*
[03:25] <grimboy> So?
[03:25] <wolfspirit> suterfugio: why not just use the server version?  it's free from vmware
[03:25] <TheHobbit> no idea variant... I'll look at it
[03:25] <suterfugio> ok, where can i download it? vmware.com
[03:26] <wolfspirit> suterfugio: yes
[03:26] <suterfugio> ok
[03:26] <suterfugio> thanks.

[03:27] <variant> Cyrus25801: yes, that is the default login prompt
[03:27] <wolfspirit> Cyrus25801: yes.. you are logged into your other box
[03:27] <mister_roboto> variant: how is it working out for you?
[03:27] <variant> Cyrus25801: you can continue with the tutorial
[03:27] <variant> mister_roboto: just installed it today, working nicely.
[03:27] <genii> mister_roboto: Also there is a channel for feisty specifically, #ubuntu+1
[03:27] <wolfspirit> Cyrus25801: you can type  hostname and hit enter and then you can know what box you are on
[03:27] <variant> mister_roboto: no issues so far
[03:27] <mister_roboto> variant: laptop? if so, all the power saving stuff working right?
[03:27] <mister_roboto> genii: thanks :)
[03:28] <genii> mister_roboto: np
[03:28] <Cyrus25801> variant, wolfspirit: thanx
[03:28] <variant> mister_roboto: yes, laptop and most power saving is working but this laptop has very poor acpi implementation and doesn't work well with any OS (buntu best of all though)

[03:33] <arron> im trying to record a sound clip in sound recorder from a video.  I have been playing with gnome alsa mixer to get it to work with no luck. can anyone help me out?
[03:34] <variant> alecjw: you might have better luck with audacity
[03:36] <chris2077> what does esd do?
[03:36] <alecjw> variant, did you mean to say that to somneone else?
[03:36] <Plutonium> hey
[03:36] <Plutonium> can anyone help me
[03:37] <PriceChild> !anyone | Plutonium
[03:37] <ubotu> Plutonium: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[03:37] <variant> alecjw: probably
[03:37] <variant> arron: you might have better luck with audacity
[03:37] <Plutonium> i can t shutdown my pc

[03:38] <Plutonium> how can i fix it
[03:38] <PriceChild> Plutonium, what happens when it shuts down?
[03:38] <variant> Plutonium: if you type sudo halt or sudo shutdown -h now it will halt
[03:38] <chris2077> i am having sound problems (i have no sound); will the result of the esd command help me figure anything out?
[03:38] <Plutonium> i dont have the chutdown button
[03:38] <arron> variant: there is no simple way with sound recorder?
[03:39] <billy> chris2077: `alsaconf` in a terminal.
[03:39] <chris2077> billy, thanks
[03:39] <variant> arron: sound recorder is pretty basic, i never really did much with it. audacity is cool and easy to use
[03:40] <chris2077> billy: alsaconf doesn't exist?
[03:40] <chris2077> or at least its unknown
[03:40] <arron> variant: thanks i will give it a try
[03:40] <billy> chris2077: sudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-mixer
[03:41] <allyer> hi
[03:41] <billy> chris2077: sudo alsaconf
[03:41] <variant> arron: you might have to dump the audio from the vid to a file first with mplayer: mplayer --dumpaudio /path/to/file.avi/mpg/wmv

[03:44] <allyer> alternate
[03:44] <variant> alecjw: what is your native language?
[03:44] <billy> chris2077: sudo apt-get install alsa-utils alsa-tools
[03:44] <PriceChild> allyer, have you tried checking the cd to see if its corrupted?
[03:44] <PriceChild> allyer, there's an option for that on its boot menu
[03:44] <variant> allyer: what is your native language?

[03:45] <billy> Plutonium: make sure your BIOS is set up correctly.
[03:45] <allyer> i got this version, PriceChild: "Other installation options including 64 bit CD images, server installation CDs and alternative installation methods for OEM computers and computers with less than 192MB RAM"
[03:45] <arron> variant: I cant get audacity to record the output from the video
[03:45] <PriceChild> Plutonium, one second...
[03:45] <PriceChild> allyer, run the cd test
[03:45] <Plutonium> i see a black screen and after the pc is down
[03:45] <variant> arron: as i said, dump the audio with mplayer to a file then import that dumped stream into audacity
[03:45] <allyer> ok
[03:45] <chris2077> billy and variant, thanks but im still getting a white window
[03:45] <variant> Plutonium: that generally indicates that the computer is not powered on
[03:46] <chris2077> nowt inside it
[03:46] <allyer> i tried, PriceChild
[03:46] <variant> chris2077: what command are you running when you get this white window?
[03:46] <arron> variant : ok
[03:46] <PriceChild> allyer, what did it say?
[03:46] <billy> chris2077: what command gives you the white window?
[03:46] <LaNCeloT_RW> guys, where can i find a website to search and download software that are in .deb extension?
[03:46] <Plutonium> what do u mean

[03:46] <adminx> Good Morning from Marietta Ga
[03:46] <billy> chris2077: drop the `gui` off the end.
[03:46] <variant> chris2077: you don't need to use sudo
[03:47] <PriceChild> LaNCeloT_RW, Software outside the ubuntu repositories are not supported... enable universe & multiverse and you will have tens of thousands of pieces of software
[03:47] <none> is it possible to find a compiled NCR5380.ko for kernel 2.6.18 ?
[03:47] <chris2077> billy and variant, might save you some time by saying that i have Gnome alsa mixer installed, but it doesnt help bring sound back
[03:47] <Plutonium> variant what do u mean i am chating on it

[03:47] <LaNCeloT_RW> can u help me?
[03:47] <LaNCeloT_RW> i will pastebin the error
[03:47] <chris2077> billy, sudo alsaconf is unknown comand
[03:47] <variant> Plutonium: sorry, i can't help you because I don't understand what you are trying to say
[03:47] <PriceChild> LaNCeloT_RW, that is known... go to the azureus sourceforge page and get the .jar file, and replace yours.
[03:48] <variant> billy: alsaconf was removed from ubuntu
[03:48] <LaNCeloT_RW> PriceChild, let me see...
[03:48] <allyer> PriceChild, for more exactly  i downloaded this: Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft),  image 64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop CD
[03:48] <allyer> but it's doesn't works
[03:48] <PriceChild> allyer, Run the cd test on it to verify whether it was burnt correctly
[03:48] <allyer> the CD booting
[03:48] <billy> variant, chris2077: oh.  it still works for me. ??
[03:48] <variant> billy: which was a bad desision imo
[03:48] <allyer> ok
[03:48] <allyer> i go
[03:48] <soundray> none: why 2.6.18? It's not part of any ubuntu release.
[03:48] <variant> billy: what version of buntu?
[03:49] <billy> variant: 6.10
[03:49] <Plutonium> Pricechild: can u help
[03:49] <variant> billy: upgraded from older versions?
[03:49] <billy> variant: no
[03:49] <variant> billy: strange,are you sure?
[03:49] <PriceChild> Plutonium, I'm not sure sorry :(
[03:49] <billy> variant: absolutely.  just tested it.
[03:49] <kouran_> does anyone know of a siple to use Java IDE? i find Netbeans is too complex for what i need.
[03:50] <variant> billy: maybe i'm wrong then
[03:50] <LaNCeloT_RW> PriceChild, i couldnt find the .jar file on the website
[03:50] <Woozle> kaktus?
[03:50] <LaNCeloT_RW> PriceChild, i found only an explanation on how to solve it... but no the file to download
[03:50] <AndrewB> billy: is it a test release?
[03:50] <kota_> oklien, So lets say that I downloaded Linux, because i fcked up my windows, But now i want Windows back.  I dont have a boot disk, but i still have a cd key on my computer.
[03:51] <billy> AndrewB: no.
[03:51] <chris2077> billy, variant, any more suggestions, baring in mind my alsa mixer doesnt seem to be helping
[03:51] <kota_> Now do i have to download a certain type of windows for that to work?
[03:51] <kota_> Or should it work on any of them?
[03:51] <soundray> kota_: you are asking in the wrong channel and using inappropriate language.
[03:51] <AndrewB> kota_: I think if it is say home edition, you need a home edition?
[03:51] <mariux> where is the list that contains the name of all x keynames, like e.g. a, e, g, XF86AudioPlay and so on?
[03:51] <AndrewB> kota_: best ask in ##windows tho..
[03:51] <variant> billy: I just installed every alsa package i can find and alsaconf is not included
[03:52] <billy> chris2077: try restarting.  ctrl+alt+backspace.  then try it and come back.
[03:52] <mariux> im on the worst internet connection in the world so i can't really search for it
[03:52] <kota_> Ah. My bad then.
[03:52] <kouran_> does anyone know of a siple to use Java IDE? i find Netbeans is too complex for what i need. i want something as simple as jGRASP
[03:52] <chris2077> kota_ i 'fckd' up my windows, but couldnt care less anymore.
[03:52] <chris2077> billy, shall do
[03:52] <choppytwice> hi, is there a possbillity to make the irc gaim background black?

[03:53] <Askar> Is it possible to play .mov files inn ubuntu? =-O
[03:53] <chris2077> billy, hasnt helped
[03:53] <kouran_> probably unlikely. its a propriertry format. i could be wrong though

[03:55] <kouran_> i need a simple java ide!
[03:56] <kouran_> like jgrasp. if anyone;s used that
[03:56] <choppytwice> why is VLC so fast
[03:56] <soundray> kouran_: you're not being ignored, just nobody has a suggestion.
[03:56] <variant> billy: are you 100% sure you have alsaconf? http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=52941
[03:56] <soundray> kouran_: why not use jgrasp then?
[03:56] <variant> billy: it was removed in breezey
[03:56] <billy> variant: yes.  I'm 100% sure.
[03:56] <kouran_> yeah i figured that. just i thought id yell out heh
[03:57] <jumpkick> does anyone know how I can start a chroot jail's runlevel 2 processes?
[03:57] <kouran_> jgrasp doesnt have a linux version. only windows and macosx :(
[03:57] <billy> variant: i probably installed it manually and forgot.
[03:57] <AndrewB> kouran_: http://xman.org/jlinux/ides.html maybe that helps?
[03:57] <variant> billy: yes
[03:57] <chris2077> sorry, beryl crashed my session
[03:57] <kouran_> thanks andrew. ill check it out
[03:57] <oliver_> help
[03:57] <soundray> kouran_: try to get the macosx version to run on Linux then. Isn't Java meant to be cross-platform?
[03:57] <billy> chris2077:  did you install alsa-tools and alsa-utils?
[03:58] <chris2077> billy, yeh when you told me to
[03:58] <billy> chris2077:  do you have a little speaker icon in your tray?
[03:59] <chris2077> billy, i do i do i doo-oo
[03:59] <billy> chris2077:  right-click it and select "preferences".
[04:00] <chris2077> billy, yep, what next|
[04:00] <zafod77> Has anyone here tried to install Ubuntu on an HP LT6000r Server? I picked one up recently and it's not detecting the SCSI hard drives properly. It doesn't even show any /dev/sd* devices any thoughts?
[04:00] <d0dge> What is the command for a program to use some other encoding? like "LC_LANG=iso-8859-1 xterm"
[04:00] <billy> chris2077:  the device should read HDA Intel (Alsa mixer).  If it doesn't, select it from the drop down list.
[04:00] <jumpkick> hmm... looks like 'dchroot -c zimbra "/etc/init.d/rc 2"' does it
[04:00] <chris2077> billy, it does indeed read HDA Intel etc

[04:02] <AndrewB> Wooksta: http://gmail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13287&ctx=en:match  may help too.
[04:02] <chris2077> billy, have done
[04:02] <chris2077> no results though
[04:02] <zafod77> soundray: so far I've tried Desktop, Server, and alternate(trying now)
[04:02] <Wooksta> AndrewB, thanks i'll take a look
[04:03] <chris2077> billy, i have noticed that when i press Fn F6 (mute control on my laptop) it says mute and it cant be changed
[04:03] <MattJ> Anyone know why the magic SysRQ keys don't work for me?
[04:03] <billy> chris2077:  follow these instructions carefully.  i'll stay here and walk you through it.
[04:03] <soundray> zafod77: with alternate, you'll have the best chance -- but what release is it?
[04:03] <billy> chris2077:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[04:03] <zafod77> soundray: current release on the download page 6.06
[04:04] <PriceChild> MattJ, no reason why they shouldn't.... you're using an ubuntu kernel right? not homebrew?
[04:04] <joha> Hi all!
[04:04] <MattJ> Nope
[04:04] <MattJ> Xubuntu 6.10
[04:04] <chris2077> billy, this is gold, thanks for pointing me in the right direction
[04:04] <billy> chris2077: rc2 is the latest of the drivers and stuff.
[04:05] <soundray> zafod77: do you know which SCSI chipset was used in yours?
[04:05] <joha> I can only use my camera as root with Ubuntu. Is it possible as normal user as well?
[04:05] <zafod77> soundray: I managed to get the desktop version to boot into the live session but it didn't see any drives. I've tried several configurations
[04:05] <billy> chris2077: so, in those instructions, you'll be sure to replace all the `rc1`'s with `rc2`.
[04:05] <MattJ> echo [char]  > /proc/sysrq-trigger works
[04:06] <billy> chris2077: actually, there's an rc3 now.  use those.
[04:06] <Manny> did anybody get a Radeon X300 card get to work with fglrx at a bit depth less than 24 bit?
[04:06] <suterfugio> can somebody tell me how do i execute a ***.deb after i install it with dpkg
[04:06] <soundray> zafod77: if you get the live CD up, you can find out the SCSI chipset with lspci
[04:06] <billy> chris2077:  they're at the bottom of the screen when you go to the drivers (etc.) page.
[04:06] <Manny> a windows/wine application demands it, and I've just been able to start xorg at 24 bit
[04:06] <flafla> !nvidiasound
[04:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nvidiasound - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:06] <AndrewB> suterfugio: what was the name of the application?
[04:06] <flafla> !surround
[04:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about surround - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:06] <soundray> suterfugio: do a 'dpkg -L packagename | grep bin/' to see the names of the commands installed with the package.
[04:07] <Manny> Option "PseudoColorVisuals" "on" didn't help
[04:07] <chris2077> billy, thanks for the heads up

[04:07] <exerd> Guys im having some major problems getting ubuntu to work. After i boot up the 6.10 live cd and press "start or install" it loads stuff for 1-2 secs and then the screen goes black and nothing happens. please help me i really want to get it to work.'
[04:07] <suterfugio> vmware-server-1.0.2_39867-2_all.deb
[04:07] <billy> chris2077: no prob.
[04:07] <zafod77> soundray: will try to take a look it takes for ever to get the live up as hangs a while at hardware detect
[04:07] <gbellmann> hi everyone, i need a partition to be mounted automatically every time i start the system, how can i do that?
[04:07] <AndrewB> exerd: go to safe graphics mode.. or get the alternative install.
[04:07] <AndrewB> !fstab | gbellmann
[04:07] <ubotu> gbellmann: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[04:07] <gbellmann> exerd: what video card do you have?
[04:08] <soundray> zafod77: could it be the controller detection where it's hanging? Maybe it needs a special boot option.
[04:08] <kouran_> can someone point me to an easy to use, free virtual machine for windows that i can boot a linux partition from?
[04:08] <pedro_silva> gbellmann you can add the option  "auto" to the fstab
[04:08] <AndrewB> Manny: what would you use then?
[04:08] <PriceChild> kouran_, its hard to boot an existing partition...
[04:08] <shaffox> kouran_, vmware
[04:08] <exerd> gbellmann: ati radeon x700se
[04:08] <AndrewB> kouran_: qemu?
[04:08] <AndrewB> kouran_: vmware too
[04:08] <Manny> AndrewB: put the partitions into /etc/pmount.allow
[04:08] <halete> hello
[04:08] <Manny> and everybody can pmount them
[04:09] <AndrewB> !welcome | halete
[04:09] <ubotu> halete: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel.
[04:09] <Manny> no more parameter fiddling
[04:09] <Manny> it works just like CD hotplugging
[04:09] <zafod77> soundray: perhaps but how would I find what that is. I have no SCSI experience I've had this running on the destop for years but my first foray into servers
[04:09] <AndrewB> Manny: cool. Never knew about that. ;) will look into it in the future.
[04:09] <halete> this may seem like a stupid question, but I'm using wink to capture frames/videos of the dekstop and it starts recording with the pause button
[04:09] <halete> I'm hitting the pause button and it does nothing
[04:09] <gbellmann> exerd you will need to get the alternate install cd and after you install you will need to install the video drivers
[04:09] <suterfugio> soundray: I did what u said and this is what i got
[04:09] <halete> is this somehow different from windows?
[04:09] <kouran_> what do you mean andrew about putting the partitions into /etc/pmount.allow?
[04:09] <exerd> gbellmann: thank you!
[04:09] <Manny> AndrewB: the good thing is that you can still hide your pr0n partitions from other users by not including them :P
[04:10] <suterfugio> Package `vmware-server-1.0.2_39867-2_all.deb' is not installed.
[04:10] <suterfugio> Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
[04:10] <suterfugio> and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.
[04:10] <exerd> gbellmann: is that on the ubuntu download page?
[04:10] <Manny> kouran_: I recommended it as an fstab alternative
[04:10] <AndrewB> suterfugio: dpkg --install vmware-server-1.0.2_39867-2_all.deb   ?
[04:10] <Manny> fstab is just so...1969
[04:10] <gbellmann> exerd: yes. I had the same problem with my nvidia sli cards
[04:10] <halete> or which is the 'pause' key on ubuntu?
[04:10] <proj> Hey everyone. I'm wondering if anyone can help me make sense of xmodmap
[04:10] <Manny> it's not really useful for home users since it's rather arcane wrt syntax
[04:10] <soundray> zafod77: I'm only guessing, but the procedure would be to find out the name of the chipset and search the web for info about problems and boot options
[04:11] <exerd> gbellmann: do you know what the difference between that and the normal cd is?
[04:11] <proj> I would like to map alt-l BackSpace to Delete
[04:11] <soundray> suterfugio: the package name is everything up to the '_'
[04:11] <suterfugio> soundray:what does that mean?
[04:11] <zafod77> soundray: I have but have been able to find any mention of this system and ubuntu together. I've been searching for the last couple of days
[04:11] <gbellmann> exerd: the install program is text based, so you will be able to install ths system without having to deal with X and the video drivers
[04:11] <ctford> i just upgraded to feisty and found that i couldn't install beryl-manager because beryl-core isn't installable. is this a bug that i should report, or just that since it's in alpha not all the packages have been sorted out?
[04:11] <proj> To test I have mapped Shift_L to shift and mod3 and I have asigned the key code from xev to "BackSpace Delete"
[04:11] <halete> nevermind, pause keys doesn't work with keylock
[04:12] <AndrewB> gbellmann: ncurses based ;) not quite text.
[04:12] <soundray> suterfugio: think about it long and hard. In your case, the package name is vmware-server-1.0.2
[04:12] <proj> I have output the xmodmap yet shift backspace doesn't register a delete
[04:12] <suterfugio> ok
[04:13] <soundray> zafod77: you have to find out the name of the SCSI chipset and add that to your search. Drop the LT6000R keyword.
[04:13] <exerd> gbellmann: thanks i think i will have a rough time then. im not used to linux =(
[04:13] <suterfugio> i got it
[04:13] <chris2077> billy, can i get the alsa driver liv and utils off synaptic?
[04:13] <suterfugio> soundray: now how do i execute it
[04:14] <kouran_> ahh alsa..... i wish creative would make a proprietry linux driver :(
[04:14] <billy> chris2077:  not sure.  you can always `sudo apt-cache search alsa` and see what all pops up.
[04:14] <Rooy> hi, I have installed gcj-4.1 and java-gcj-compat-dev
[04:14] <RobotJox> Hi, anyone here subscribing to O'Reilly Safari Library?
[04:14] <billy> chris2077:  are you unsure about the directions?
[04:14] <gbellmann> exerd: that's how we all started here... if you need more help just come back and someone will help you
[04:14] <soundray> suterfugio: can you not take a wild guess and experiment yourself? You risk getting ignored in this channel if you ask to be spoonfed.
[04:14] <kouran_> i hate being tied to windows for awesome sound quality when id rather be using amarok..
[04:15] <Rooy> but i can compile ahything with gcj:
[04:15] <Rooy> $> gcj num3.java
[04:15] <Rooy> /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../lib64/crt1.o: In function `_start':
[04:15] <Rooy> (.text+0x20): undefined reference to `main'
[04:15] <Rooy> collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
[04:15] <soundray> kouran_: don't tell us, tell Creative.
[04:15] <ComputerHermit> how come I cant delete and internet logg files in my root folder they have a red X anyone tell me please?
[04:15] <ComputerHermit> any*
[04:15] <kouran_> soundray: just thought id speak my mind hehe
[04:15] <chris2077> billy, yes i am
[04:15] <soundray> kouran_: and, no, don't ask for a proprietary driver. Ask them to support free driver development with specifications.
[04:15] <billy> chris2077:  the directions *are* a little unclear.  don't worry.  do you have GAIM?
[04:16] <Rooy> num3.java is just supposed to do System.out.println("3");
[04:16] <chris2077> yep got gaim
[04:16] <billy> mind if I add you so we can chat privately?
[04:16] <PriceChild> !pm | billy
[04:16] <ubotu> billy: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first.
[04:16] <kouran_> soundray: good idea. thats the main problem, they hardly release the spec sheets
[04:16] <billy> sorry.
[04:16] <PriceChild> billy, (mostly referring to the first part of that factoid)
[04:17] <chris2077> how do you pm someone
[04:17] <shashank> hey
[04:17] <billy> chris2077:  we'll walk through it step by step in this room OK?
[04:17] <shashank> hello
[04:17] <allyer> hi, PriceChild
[04:17] <shashank> what is this room?
[04:17] <meta_> where i need to link my script if i want to run that when the machine shuts down
[04:17] <chris2077> billy, ok
[04:17] <meta_> but before dissconencting from the internet (ppoe)
[04:17] <shashank> can any one plz help
[04:17] <Faolchu> Is there a way I can make my current Ubuntu installation boot into CLI instead of GUI at start-up?
[04:17] <soundray> shashank: enter /topic and read the output
[04:18] <shashank> i just installed irc client
[04:18] <PriceChild> shashank, this is for ubuntu support
[04:18] <chris2077> billy, ive got the required tools and the kernel headers
[04:18] <billy> chris2077:
[04:18] <AndrewB> fools: remove gdm and usplash from the run level with bum
[04:18] <billy> chris2077:  ok
[04:18] <allyer> PriceChild, i'd testing CD, but it doesn't works the test CD
[04:18] <shashank> i dint even entered the password
[04:18] <zafod77> soundray: chipset CNB20HE
[04:18] <PriceChild> allyer, ?
[04:18] <Faolchu> o_O
[04:18] <allyer> the CD test doesn't works
[04:19] <PriceChild> allyer, you probably need to burn it again at a lower speed then
[04:19] <billy> chris2077:  download the driver, lib, and utils to your desktop.  driver: http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa/ftp/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.14rc3.tar.bz2
[04:19] <billy> chris2077:  lib: http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa/ftp/lib/alsa-lib-1.0.14rc3.tar.bz2
[04:19] <allyer> it get start, but when it show Ubuntu's splash, it doesn't works, anything
[04:19] <billy> chris2077:  be sure to download these to your desktop.
[04:19] <adminx> Faolchu, you need to change your runlevel
[04:20] <soundray> zafod77: have you done a web search for it yet?
[04:20] <allyer> i'm burn again
[04:20] <looris> hi, i have a rather odd problem, tried google, and found nothing: i have two users, with one of them the automounter for usb-storage works, for the other one it does not. i'm reallz clueless about that
[04:20] <AndrewB> Faolchu: remove gdm and usplash from the run level with bum
[04:20] <Faolchu> adminx: Can you tell me how that is done?
[04:20] <adminx> not sure which etc file that is in.
[04:20] <slick> I've got samba up and running and accessing files on my ubuntu machine from my windows machine, but I can't copy them, does anyone know how to get around this?
[04:20] <soundray> zafod77: it appears to be supported by the cciss module
[04:21] <adminx> I think you can find it with a google ubuntu + runlevel
[04:21] <billy> chris2077:  utils: http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa/ftp/utils/alsa-utils-1.0.14rc2.tar.bz2
[04:21] <billy> chris2077:  be sure to download these to your desktop.
[04:21] <kouran_> slick: what windows file system are you using?
[04:21] <billy> chris2077:  following me?
[04:21] <adminx> hold a sec and I'll look it up...
[04:21] <chris2077> billy, yep, all on my desktop now
[04:21] <zafod77> soundray: sorry but not use to changine boot parameters how would I get it too load cciss module and detect?
[04:22] <billy> chris2077:  sudo mkdir -p /usr/src/alsa
[04:22] <slick> kouran_ my windows computer is running Windows XP: Media Center 2005
[04:22] <soundray> zafod77: have you booted ubuntu from the CD right now?
[04:22] <slick> the samba shares are NTFS
[04:22] <kouran_> yes. what file system? HTFS? Fat32?
[04:22] <billy> chris2077:  cd /usr/src/alsa
[04:22] <zafod77> soundray: just at the splash screen now
[04:22] <kouran_> ah. linux doesnt like ntfs much
[04:22] <slick> and the media center is NTFS
[04:22] <slick> but linux just has to read it
[04:23] <kouran_> oh. hmm
[04:23] <soundray> zafod77: booting the Desktop CD?
[04:23] <slick> its the windows computer which writes
[04:23] <adminx> it's in the /etc/inittab file
[04:23] <slick> and I can read it from my windows computer, just can't write
[04:23] <billy> chris2077: sudo cp ~/Desktop/* .
[04:23] <kouran_> so for example you linux box couldnt launch an .mp3?
[04:23] <zafod77> soundray: yes it's the only one that got me in at all. Server edition froze completely. Besides I want most of the desktop apps
[04:23] <adminx> you can edit it with sudo gedit
[04:24] <billy> chris2077:  sudo tar xjf alsa-driver-1.0.14rc3.tar.bz2
[04:24] <zombieee> Gaahhh...Slktmiddag!!!!
[04:24] <zombieee> Hate that shit
[04:24] <slick> kouran_ I can access files and launch them on my windows box which I am accessing over samba but cant copy them to the windows machine
[04:24] <billy> chris2077:  sudo tar xjf alsa-lib-1.0.14rc3.tar.bz2
[04:24] <billy> chris2077:  sudo tar xjf alsa-utils-1.0.14rc2.tar.bz2
[04:24] <chris2077> tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
[04:25] <kouran_> slick: im not sure what you're trying to do. but linux cannot write to an ntfs partition
[04:25] <billy> chris2077: just relax.
[04:25] <allyer> hi, PriceChild, i burned the CD in slow speed and didn't works
[04:25] <kouran_> can anyone clarify that for me?
[04:25] <looris> please?
[04:25] <billy> chris2077: everything is cool.
[04:25] <PriceChild> allyer, that was fast...
[04:25] <soundray> zafod77: when you've booted that, first thing to check is whether it loads the module automatically (lsmod | grep cciss)
[04:25] <AndrewB> !ntfs
[04:25] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[04:25] <PriceChild> allyer, You've tried to run the cd test on it?
[04:25] <allyer> let i can explain for you, the situation
[04:25] <allyer> ok ok
[04:25] <Rooy> !gcj
[04:25] <billy> chris2077:  sudo rm -r /usr/src/alsa
[04:25] <ubotu> gcj: The GNU Java compiler. In component main, is optional. Version 4:4.1.1-6ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 1 kB, installed size 48 kB
[04:25] <allyer> but let i speak for you about situation
[04:25] <PriceChild> kouran_, slick is the ntfs on a windows machine?
[04:26] <allyer> the boot CD get start
[04:26] <zafod77> soundray: the module isn't loaded
[04:26] <PriceChild> kouran_, slick and the linux machine is accessing the ntfs driver over the network?
[04:26] <rogue780> I backed up my hard drive using "sudo dd if=/dev/hda1 | bzip2 > /somedirectory/hda1.bz2" now I am trying to do the reverse...can someone please show me how to do this? I've tried "bunzip2 /somedirectory/hda1.bz2 |  dd > /dev/hda1" and "... | dd of=/dev/hda1" but it isn't working
[04:26] <soundray> zafod77: run 'sudo modprobe cciss' and see if that throws any errors.
[04:26] <billy> chris2077:  sudo mkdir ~/installers/alsa
[04:26] <allyer> but when i choose the instalation, the cd get start loading kernel and show splash ubuntu, later
[04:27] <kouran_> pricechild: i think he's trying to access files on a windows ntfs box over a network via another box running linux
[04:27] <sacater> rogue780: cant you do it graphically with a package manager somehow
[04:27] <allyer> in splash ubuntu, don't works anything
[04:27] <allyer> what's going on?
[04:27] <thingy> looris: for the user for which devices automount, run the "groups" command which will output the list of groups that user is a member of. Now for the user for whom automount doesn't work, run the same command find out what groups that user is a member of. I believe you will see a discrepancy. To fix, simply make both users, members of the same group.
[04:27] <billy> chris2077:  with me?
[04:27] <PriceChild> slick, kouran_, then the filesystem shouldn't matter
[04:27] <allyer> my pc is
[04:27] <sacater> kouran_: accessing NTFS files on the same computer is easy, network may be ahrder

[04:28] <RobotJox>  anyone here subscribing to O'Reilly Safari Library?
[04:28] <chris2077> billy, yeh i dont have an installers directory though
[04:28] <allyer> but PriceChild, when i try the CD test to verify, doesn't works
[04:28] <PriceChild> allyer, Please try and run the cd test to verify it has burnt correctly. Boot off the cd and choose to test the cd
[04:28] <rogue780> sacater, if I knew how then I would
[04:28] <PriceChild> allyer, why not?
[04:28] <billy> chris2077: did it not create that directory?
[04:28] <allyer> its only show the ubuntu logos
[04:28] <allyer> and stay locked
[04:29] <sacater> rogue780: are you in a graphical enviroment?
[04:29] <PriceChild> allyer, md5sum the image file on your machine to check its downloaded correctly
[04:29] <slick> pricechild, kouran - My linux machine is sharing an NTFS partition over the network.  I can access this partition over the network from my windows machine which also uses NTFS, I can read all of the files, however when I try to copy the files from the linux machine to the windows machine I get an error
[04:29] <allyer> locked, no, halted
[04:29] <PriceChild> slick, filesystem doesn't matter then.
[04:29] <rogue780> yes
[04:29] <allyer> how get this, PriceChild?
[04:29] <PriceChild> kouran_, ^
[04:29] <rogue780> sacater, yes
[04:29] <PriceChild> !md5sum | allyer
[04:29] <allyer> the md5sum?
[04:29] <ubotu> allyer: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more
[04:29] <Rooy> allyer: go to the cdrom mount point and do md5sum -c md5sum.txt to see if anything fails
[04:29] <sacater> rogue780: xfce or gnome?
[04:29] <allyer> !md5sum
[04:29] <slick> PriceChild do you know why I may be getting an error then?
[04:29] <rogue780> sacater, gnome
[04:29] <chris2077> billy, no
[04:29] <allyer> ok
[04:29] <PriceChild> slick, no sorry
[04:29] <rogue780> I'm using dapper
[04:30] <allyer> i will see
[04:30] <ompaul> allyer, it was already done in the channel so the bot will not do it twice in such a short amount of time
[04:30] <sacater> rogue780: go to accessories > archive manager
[04:30] <billy> chris2077: sudo mkdir ~/installers
[04:30] <kouran_> installing vmware.... if i suddenly disappear ive probably broken my comp.
[04:30] <sacater> rogue780: got it?
[04:30] <joha> Please, can you help me get my camera to work with Ubuntu?
[04:30] <rogue780> sacater, not there. I'm using the live cd
[04:30] <zafod77> soundray: no error message but it seems to be hanging
[04:31] <sacater> rogue780: thats not right, it should be there
[04:31] <kouran_> joha: there might be software around to interface your camera
[04:31] <soundray> zafod77: can you open another terminal?
[04:31] <rogue780> in 6.06?
[04:31] <chris2077> billy, im confused
[04:31] <billy> chris2077: that created an "installers" directory.
[04:31] <zafod77> soundray: yes
[04:31] <Arafel> Anyone know what this error message means? : Checkin for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables. ?
[04:31] <chris2077> billy: yeh ive created it now
[04:31] <joha> kouran_, it should work, it is a Canon PowerShot A80... but it only works as root
[04:31] <rogue780> sacater, my last was to you
[04:31] <soundray> zafod77: run dmesg in there and see if the modprobe caused any entries there
[04:31] <PriceChild> Arafel, have you installed build-essential ?
[04:31] <billy> chris2077: sudo mkdir ~/installers/alsa
[04:31] <allyer> the software "sum" is checking of my iso
[04:31] <Arafel> PriceChild: ill check
[04:32] <sacater> rogue780: the live CD should come with it, as a kind of example
[04:32] <kouran_> joha: have you checked canons website for linux drivers?
[04:32] <chris2077> billy:what next
[04:32] <rogue780> sacater, well it didn't. but it does come with bunzip2 and dd
[04:32] <joha> kouran_: Ubuntu already has the drivers installed. But it only works as root for some reason.
[04:32] <allyer> on CD where can I see MD5SUM ?
[04:32] <Arafel> PriceChild: Doesnt seem like it. Im installing it and then ill see how things go :)
[04:32] <halete> what player to play .swf files?
[04:32] <billy> chris2077: instead of moving those files from your desktop to that directory, we're going to redownload some different (probably more correct) ones directly to the new directory.
[04:32] <F00BaR> ok
[04:32] <sacater> rogue780: hmm, i cant help if you dont have an archive manager sorry

[04:36] <allyer> it's hard this
[04:36] <F00BaR> anyone know how to install Plesk
[04:36] <soundray> joha: check the ownership and add yourself to the group
[04:36] <HaoTian> Anyone here ever manage to get Andrew Zabolotny's Graphire Bluetooth drivers working in Ubuntu?
[04:36] <joha> soundray, with the 007 being an ever increasing number
[04:36] <joha> k
[04:37] <PriceChild> garuhhh, try sudo
[04:37] <typedestereo> my question seems to have been flooded way back yonder, so I guess asking it again is warranted
[04:37] <typedestereo> what's the command to manually lock your computer?
[04:37] <garuhhh> pricechild: yes i tried sudo
[04:37] <soundray> zafod77: I think you should try booting with 'pci=noacpi'. Shot in the dark, but worth trying
[04:37] <F00BaR> anyone know how to install Plesk
[04:37] <garuhhh> pricechild: it doesn't work either... the sudo..
[04:37] <soundray> F00BaR: can you stop this please, it's annoying
[04:37] <joha> soundray, unfortunately the owner is root:root
[04:37] <zbadone> is there a driver for the ATI Radeon X1660Pro ICEQ2 for Ubuntu ?
[04:37] <ramvi> How do I check if I'm running XGL?
[04:38] <F00BaR> anyone know how to install Plesk
[04:38] <F00BaR> sorry
[04:38] <joh> Is azureus (2.5.0.0repack1-0ubuntu0.6.10) broken on powerpc? Can anyone check on x86 please?
[04:38] <zafod77> soundray: at this point I'll give anything a shot
[04:38] <billy> chris2077: >save to disk.  hit "enter".  then click "browse for other folders".
[04:38] <soundray> joha, ah, in that case you'll have to fix udev. I'm afraid I have no experience with that, so you'll have to search the web or ask the channel again.
[04:38] <Rooy> allyer: after you burned the disk, that's the only way i know to check integrity, other than boot it and do CD Test
[04:38] <garuhhh> pricechild: if i check the status of firestarter, it says its "on"
[04:39] <soundray> zafod77: the help screens of the CD boot tell you how to add a boot option. Remove "quiet splash" while you're at it to get a verbose bootup.
[04:39] <allyer> my "CD test" didn't works, it stay halted
[04:39] <kaptengu> How do I get greasemonkey to work? It only works with "sudo firefox". Any suggestions?
[04:39] <PriceChild> allyer, that is the correct md5sum...
[04:39] <allyer> but the CD BOOT to get started
[04:39] <PriceChild> allyer, what speed are you burning?
[04:39] <F00BaR> HOW DO I CREATE A FOLDER
[04:39] <allyer> i don't know see
[04:39] <PriceChild> !caps | F00BaR
[04:39] <allyer> 8x
[04:39] <joha> okay, thanks soundray ... helps to know what you have to fix :-)
[04:39] <ubotu> F00BaR: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[04:39] <typedestereo> mkdir (folder)
[04:39] <soundray> !faq > F00BaR
[04:39] <billy> chris2077:  could you find the home/yourname/installers/alsa directory to put those files in?
[04:40] <ivx> FOOBaR just right click and creat folder
[04:40] <typedestereo> or go the gui way and right click>new>folder
[04:40] <Arafel> Garuhn: Firestarter is just a frontend for iptables or something. Firestarter doesnt have to be on. The firewall works just well without it
[04:40] <ramvi> Opp
[04:40] <chris2077> billy, yes i can but i dont have write permissions
[04:40] <allyer> can you send me the link to download again the ubuntu?
[04:40] <allyer> i want the amd64 version
[04:40] <chris2077> need to sudo it i guess
[04:40] <billy> what?!?
[04:40] <PriceChild> !download | allyer
[04:40] <ubotu> allyer: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive
[04:40] <PriceChild> allyer, but your download is fine?
[04:40] <allyer> yeah
[04:40] <allyer> is good
[04:40] <allyer> but i don't works
[04:41] <allyer> on Windows i can see the CD, and explorer it
[04:41] <PriceChild> allyer, try burning it at 4x or lower
[04:41] <PriceChild> hmm
[04:41] <PriceChild> allyer, maybe try the alternate cd t hen
[04:41] <garuhhh> Arafel: i use firestarter to customize the firewall settings. i'm not very well versed with the CLI
[04:41] <billy> chris2077:  it's cool.  just put them to your desktop again and we'll move them manually.
[04:41] <ivx> FOOBaR did you get that folder made?
[04:41] <allyer> i can't to burn, PriceChild, less at 8x
[04:41] <chris2077> billy, k theyre on my desktop
[04:41] <typedestereo> ok, I'll just ask once more, and if nobody knows then I won't continue
[04:41] <PriceChild> allyer, pardon?
[04:41] <typedestereo> what's the command to manually lock your computer?
[04:41] <allyer> because my cd are burn more 8x
[04:41] <thingy> PriceChild/allyer : what are the symptoms of allyer's issue...cd doesn't boot?
[04:42] <billy> chris2077: cool.  just one sec.  nature calls.
[04:42] <allyer> i'm trying to say, thingy
[04:42] <soundray> typedestereo: sometimes it helps to rephrase your question and give a bit more detail
[04:42] <allyer> the boot is perfect
[04:42] <typedestereo> ok
[04:42] <allyer> but when i'll to install it or cd test, it doesnt works
[04:42] <chris2077> billy,i gotta go for 30 mins
[04:42] <jbwan> this is a stupid newb question, but have pity on me
[04:42] <allyer> it get start to load the kernel
[04:43] <allyer> and show the ubuntu logo
[04:43] <billy> chris2077: ok, i'll be here.
[04:43] <typedestereo> so I've been clicking the 'lock screen' button to lock my computer, but now when I click it nothing happens
[04:43] <jbwan> I have a copy of my iTunes lib (converting to rhythmbox)
[04:43] <allyer> when it show the ubuntu logo, it stay halted
[04:43] <yellow-hat-fello> Hey, anyone know what I can do to get my amaroK installation (ubuntu) to look like this: http://www.darch.dk/amarok.png ? I have no idea how to change the icons in a KDE app
[04:43] <jbwan> it appears that rb doesn't do recursive searching in folders
[04:43] <allyer> and the light cd is turn off
[04:43] <MattJ> PriceChild: I think I found why sysrq doesn't work... it seems to have a different scancode to the default on my keyboard
[04:43] <soundray> typedestereo: you mean you can't unlock it?
[04:43] <garuhhh> if i "sudo firestarter" this is what i get: Xlib: connection to 0.0 refused by server, Xlib: no protocol specified.. and finally it says this (firestarter:16392) Gtk-warning: cannot open display
[04:43] <jbwan> so I need to do a recursive copy of my m4a files and dump them in the root music directory
[04:43] <typedestereo> no, I can't lock it
[04:43] <jbwan> how do I do that?
[04:43] <allyer> can i get install ubuntu on SATA HD?
[04:43] <PriceChild> MattJ, how very odd.....
[04:43] <kaptengu> How do I get greasemonkey to work? It only works with "sudo firefox". Any suggestions?
[04:43] <PriceChild> MattJ, that's an important button... who's the manufacturer?
[04:43] <thingy> allyer: fine...so the kernel seems to panic for whatever reason. Can you confirm you have an alternate cd available? Have you tried passing boot time parameters of noacpi ?
[04:44] <billy> allyer: you'll need an alternate install CD.
[04:44] <Rooy> allyer: i have a samsung HD1600JJ works fine
[04:44] <MattJ> PriceChild: No idea... it's a non-descript kind of keyboard :)
[04:44] <PriceChild> hehe
[04:44] <MattJ> PriceChild: Perhaps it is just that I have the British layout
[04:44] <allyer> i forgot it, thingy
[04:44] <typedestereo> I figure that there's a command doing the same thing as the 'lock screen' button, and would rather not terminate my session to fix the problem
[04:44] <bryan> hello im new
[04:44] <PriceChild> MattJ, Shouldn't be...
[04:44] <PriceChild> !hi | bryan
[04:44] <allyer> how can i checking if i download the alternative version?
[04:44] <ubotu> bryan: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[04:44] <Rooy> allyer: have you checked md5sum of files on the burned disk?
[04:45] <PriceChild> allyer, it has "alternate" in the name
[04:45] <MattJ> PriceChild: http://developer.osdl.org/dev/robustmutexes/REPOS/fusyn.hg/?cmd=file;filenode=32d0a5eb8f92fa9221a6311440ffafbc042e510b;file=Documentation/sysrq.txt
[04:45] <PriceChild> Rooy, yes, and it was fine
[04:45] <bryan> hi for all
[04:45] <thingy> typedestereo: xscreensaver or xlock is the util that usually gets called by Gnome to lock the screen...what was the issue?
[04:45] <allyer> i cand find it, Rooy
[04:45] <allyer> in cd
[04:45] <PriceChild> allyer, you gave it to me... and it was correct!
[04:45] <allyer> but the softwarer say that my md5 is 99c3a849f6e9a0d143f057433c7f4d84
[04:45] <zafod77> soundray: keeping my fingers crossed but it looks promising it seems to be seeing the HD in boot up
[04:45] <PriceChild> allyer, that is correct
[04:45] <Rooy> PriceChild: I mean the file burn on the disk, not the cd image
[04:45] <allyer> ok, PriceChild
[04:45] <typedestereo> thingy: clicking the button to lock the screen doesn't
[04:45] <allyer> so the my m5d is right
[04:45] <PriceChild> Rooy, ah.
[04:45] <bryan> did there are many compiler to use programs turn to windows
[04:45] <zumi> where can i change how different types of files are opened?
[04:45] <allyer> cool
[04:46] <PriceChild> allyer, of the image on your computer yes
[04:46] <typedestereo> I've had this problem a few times before, and logging out and then back in seems to fix it
[04:46] <typedestereo> but I'd rather not do that
[04:46] <allyer> PriceChild, can i make one movie and send you?
[04:46] <allyer> there, you can see what is going on
[04:46] <zumi> where can i change how different types of files are opened?

[05:25] <matkix0s> Tere was never one set
[05:25] <LaughingSam> Hi folks. I'm trying to disable tty1 on my Ubuntu-box booting up in terminal mode (no gdm). I've commented out the line "1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1" in /etc/inittab. It doesn't work, though, the first login prompt is at tty1. Am I missing something?
[05:26] <LaNCeloT_RW> Rooy, that was the page I was looking for
[05:26] <billy> chris2077:  sudo mv ~/Desktop/alsa-lib-1.0.14rc2.tar.bz2 ~/installers/alsa
[05:26] <kuma_> hi, how can i compress a folder into a zip file throu command line?
[05:26] <variant> matkix0s: sudo -i
[05:26] <adrian_> FOO: may I send you the output and you look and see if you see the wrong with it?
[05:26] <shaffox> variant, the problem is it's empty, but this can't be
[05:26] <variant> shaffox: do ls /mnt/hdb1/
[05:26] <billy> chris2007: sudo mkdir -p /usr/src/alsa
[05:26] <variant> shaffox: do ls /mnt/hdb
[05:26] <adrian_> F00: may I send you the output and you look and see if you see the wrong with it?

[05:27] <chris2077> billy:  all good so far
[05:27] <oscuro> I've been watching trough accound admin.
[05:27] <matkix0s> Hows the game support on this os?
[05:27] <billy> chris2077: cd /usr/src/alsa
[05:27] <variant> matkix0s: same as any other gnu/ os
[05:27] <billy> chris2077: sudo cp ~/installers/alsa/* .
[05:27] <matkix0s> So no go, I did sudo -i
[05:27] <matkix0s> then ran my command
[05:27] <billy> chris2077: sudo tar xjf alsa-driver-1.0.14rc2.tar.bz2
[05:27] <matkix0s> It is till telling me I need become super user
[05:27] <variant> matkix0s: sudo -i and enter your user password, you will then be root
[05:28] <billy> chris2077: sudo tar xjf alsa-lib-1.0.14rc2.tar.bz2
[05:28] <billy> chris2077: sudo tar xjf alsa-utils-1.0.14rc2.tar.bz2
[05:28] <hdxx> matkix0s: is this file .bin or .sh ..
[05:28] <matkix0s> .pl
[05:28] <vandalay> windows-free at last
[05:28] <billy> chris2077: cd alsa-driver-1.0.14rc2
[05:28] <variant> matkix0s: a python script
[05:29] <billy> chris2077: sudo ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel
[05:29] <variant> matkix0s: please just tell us what you're trying to install/do
[05:29] <billy> chris2077: sudo make
[05:29] <matkix0s> I have, vmware toold!
[05:29] <matkix0s> tools*
[05:29] <billy> chris2077: sudo make install
[05:29] <variant> billy: you don't need to run those commands with sudo
[05:29] <vandalay> sudo..i never sudo just su
[05:29] <variant> billy: only make install
[05:29] <billy> variant:  thanks.  :)
[05:30] <billy> chris2077: cd ../alsa-lib-1.0.14rc2
[05:30] <dimeotane> how do I do a checksum.. all the download pages show a checksum for the downloaded iso
[05:30] <billy> chris2077: sudo ./configure
[05:30] <matkix0s> sudo -i with user password worked
[05:30] <Rooy> dimeotane: you're on linux?
[05:30] <matkix0s> thanks
[05:30] <billy> chris2077:  make
[05:31] <variant> billy: you don't need to use sudo to run ./configure :)
[05:31] <billy> chris2077:  make install
[05:31] <dimeotane> rooy: ubuntu edgy
[05:31] <variant> dimeotane: md5sum /path/to/checksum
[05:31] <h1st0> billy: or make only need sudo to 'make install'  and I suggest using checkinstall instead
[05:31] <variant> dimeotane: put the checksum in the same dir as the download
[05:31] <matkix0s> No but you do need to be su to install vmware tools. The script will run and tell you to become super user. thanks tho ;)
[05:31] <chris2077> billy and variant: no sudo?
[05:31] <billy> variant:  noted.  thanks again.  I'm new to this, I may be using old stuff.
[05:31] <billy> chris2077:  variant says no sudo.  if you got no error, he is correct.
[05:32] <h1st0> !checkinstall | billy
[05:32] <ubotu> billy: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!
[05:32] <chris2077> billy: can you stop for a sec, i did get a whole load of permission denieds
[05:32] <billy> chris2077:  looks like we need the sudo after all.
[05:32] <chris2077> billy:indeed
[05:32] <variant> chris2077: you only need sudo when running make install (unless you unpacked the tarball with sudo, in which case the unpacked stuff will have root only perms
[05:32] <variant> billy: because he used sudo to untar it
[05:32] <matkix0s> Is make installed on ubuntu stock desktop?
[05:32] <nucleus>  /msg NickServ IDENTIFY ozlem2001
[05:32] <chris2077> how do i go back to it
[05:33] <Rooy> billy: ecept when you can write to $PREFIX
[05:33] <chris2077> i followed up with the cd command
[05:33] <variant> matkix0s: apt-get install build-essential
[05:33] <matkix0s> Well we know someones password now ;)
[05:33] <adrian_> want to move the folder linuxdcpp from  /home/adrian/linuxdcpp to /usr/bin/', is the move to command right like this then? 'mv /home/adrian/linuxdcpp /usr/bin/'
[05:33] <billy> if everyone could leave me alone for a moment, that'd be appreciated.  thank you for your cooperation.
[05:33] <Q_Continuum_> nucleus: I'd recommend you change your pw
[05:33] <vandalay> haha
[05:33] <variant> billy: you can continue if he becomes root again with sudo.. he will need to use sudo to rm the unpacked files
[05:34] <billy> chris2077: type in `pwd` and tell me what it outputs.

[05:42] <chris2077> billy: argghhhh! high pitchd buzzing from left channel!
[05:42] <hikenboot> greetings all! I am wondering if in the next version of ubuntu they have made remastering ubuntu easier and separated components out of the cd like openoffice out of ubuntu-desktop
[05:42] <billy> chris2077:  believe it or not, that is progress.

[05:43] <chris2077> billy: lol yeh got my sound back though thanks alot for that , really  helpful and patient
[05:43] <chris2077> is there anymore that can be done
[05:43] <smo> i m using ubuntu form my usb key hikenboot works like a charm ntfs-3g beryl.... niceeee
[05:43] <billy> chris2077:  so you have sound in one but a high pitch in the other?
[05:43] <chris2077> billy: yep, exactly right
[05:44] <billy> chris2077:  attempt to adjust the volume for me.  tell me what happens.
[05:44] <xyber> h1st0: funny
[05:44] <hikenboot> yes but in the current version of ubuntu you cant propery separate office from the cd it messes with ubuntu-desktop package
[05:44] <h1st0> xyber: What is?
[05:44] <hikenboot> trust me I spent 3 weeks fighting with the developers about it
[05:44] <smo> i was able to remove it normally...
[05:44] <xyber> h1st0 the little not anyone > xyber...  lol
[05:44] <h1st0> hikenboot: the ubuntu-desktop package is not needed.
[05:45] <smo> true
[05:45] <hikenboot> it is when you go to add other packages
[05:45] <chris2077> billy: all my sound has gone again!
[05:45] <h1st0> xyber: I was trying to send you a message from ubotu.
[05:45] <billy> chris2077:  don't worry.  That's part of the symptomotology.
[05:45] <xyber> oh... yah, i'd have a better irc client, but i'm limited in what i can install atm
[05:45] <unimatrix9> hello everyone
[05:45] <h1st0> hikenboot: Its just a meta package it doesn't contain anyting.
[05:46] <h1st0> hikenboot: no other packages should require it to be installed.
[05:46] <chris2077> billy: i hope theres a cure for these symptoms
[05:46] <xyber> h1st0: so i didn't get any message if you sent one
[05:46] <h1st0> hikenboot: The only point that it becomes a problem is upgrading you distro.
[05:46] <h1st0> !anyone | xyber
[05:46] <ubotu> xyber: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[05:46] <hikenboot> exactly.
[05:46] <Ng> hikenboot: a lot of the depends of ubuntu-desktop are changing to Recommends in feisty and even more will probably change in feisty+1
[05:46] <xyber> so, here's what I did:  i made a new user for logging in to my shares...  i titled this user remote.  i gave this user my name (the same as my previously single user), and i tried to give it the same privliges i had before.  unfortunately, i checked the wrong box, and now the only way i can have root privliges is under the emergency terminal.  how do i get my privliges the way they were before?
[05:46] <unimatrix9> i am looking for an high definition video ( avi -divx ) showing off beryl, does any one know where i could find it  ulr?
[05:46] <billy> chris2077:  there's some other stuff we can try.  just one moment, I'm on the tele.
[05:46] <hikenboot> I like the way that sounds Ng
[05:47] <hikenboot> what about open office in particular Ng in Feisty?
[05:47] <chris2077> billy: sounds uncomfortable
[05:47] <hikenboot> it takes up half the damn cd
[05:47] <h1st0> xyber: are you typing in your original password for sudo?
[05:47] <unimatrix9> i am looking for an high definition video ( avi -divx ) showing off beryl, does any one know where i could find it  ulr?
[05:47] <billy> chris2077:  c'mon now.  all that we just went through and you're squeemish about editing a text file?
[05:47] <h1st0> !sudo | xyber
[05:47] <ubotu> xyber: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[05:48] <razorX> hi all >(
[05:48] <xyber> h1st0: yes, i am

[05:48] <Yabber> Hi, I have added an intel e100 network card to an ubuntu dapper system, i can see it in both lspci and dmesg, but if i do an ifconfig it does not come up only loopback, i can do a network restart and it still does not load any ideas?
[05:48] <chris2077> billy: lol try me
[05:48] <h1st0> xyber: check out the link from ubotu about fixing sudo
[05:48] <two-b> what kernel does 6.10 use? 2.6.17, .18, .19?
[05:48] <shaffox> FF says i need flash, how can i download this?
[05:48] <razorX> does ubuntu have a swedish chan ?
[05:48] <h1st0> xyber: you most likely just need to add whatever user to sudoers file
[05:48] <smo> 2.6.17
[05:48] <variant> razorX: jupp, #ubuntu-se
[05:48] <xyber> h1st0: thx, i'll do that and brb
[05:48] <hikenboot> Ng I guess I will download it and try the remaster
[05:49] <razorX> thx :)
[05:49] <xyber> thx ubotu too
[05:49] <h1st0> xyber: ubotu is a bot
[05:49] <two-b> smo: no packages at all for 2.6.18? :-/ too bad.
[05:49] <h1st0> xyber: not a real person
[05:49] <smo> 2.6.17-11 for me ..
[05:49] <chris2077> billy: will i have to go through all this should i choose  a stable feisty in the future? hope not

[05:52] <billy> chris2077:  you'll see a line that reads something like `options snd-hda-intel model=blah blah blah`.  see it?
[05:52] <hikenboot> Ng, in the last version I actually tried rewriting the ubuntu-desktop package but couldnt get it working ..ah well
[05:52] <h1st0> xyber: probably just close and reopen the terminal that you are in I don't think you have to reboot.  But you might.
[05:53] <chris2077> billy: these are my snd's
[05:53] <chris2077> options snd-bt87x index=-2
[05:53] <chris2077> options snd-atiixp-modem index=-2

[05:53] <chris2077> options snd-usb-audio index=-2
[05:53] <h1st0> asaup: you should use the -generic one.  i386 variant I believe was fased out.
[05:53] <chris2077> options snd-usb-usx2y index=-2
[05:53] <xyber> h1st0: it still says "xyber is not in the sudoers file.  this incident will be reported."

[05:54] <Jesset77> Hello asaup how is the beryl going?
[05:54] <h1st0> xyber: ahh yeah to add yourself to the sudoers file you would need root.   reboot the system and select recovery mode from grubs list.
[05:54] <asaup> jesset hi
[05:54] <asaup> perfect
[05:54] <asaup> :D
[05:54] <h1st0> xyber: That should give a root terminal to fix things.

[05:55] <asaup> its a grub problem
[05:55] <h1st0> asaup: grub is only displaying the suse kerenl?
[05:56] <h1st0> asaup: so you can no longer boot to ubuntu?
[05:56] <variant> asaup: you installed suse over ubuntu and it wont boot? of course it's a suse problem
[05:56] <Jesset77> asaup, do you still have all the right files for grub to point to out in the /boot directory?
[05:56] <chris2077>  no longer boot to ubuntu? - perish the thought
[05:56] <asaup> no is displaying the ubuntu kernel too but before i had two. now i want the i386 not the generic that is displaying grub
[05:56] <h1st0> asaup: Why?
[05:57] <ramvi> Hi! I have a weird problem: I don`t seem to have composite even though I`m in xgl. No 3d / transparency programs work. How can I check this or make it work?
[05:57] <Joost> test
[05:57] <variant> asaup: do you want to continue using ubuntu or suse?
[05:57] <h1st0> asaup: generic kernel selects the proper arch for you cpu
[05:57] <asaup> because it dont work in my pc
[05:57] <billy> chris2077:  you've got a 945G right?
[05:57] <h1st0> !grub | asaup
[05:57] <ubotu> asaup: 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
[05:57] <chris2077> billy: yeh
[05:58] <Tonren> How do I change the label of a mounted drive?  i.e., when my western digital passport gets plugged in, it pops up as "WD Passport", but my new partition pops up as "usbdisk".  How do I change its name?
[05:58] <asaup> i want to continue using ubuntu
[05:58] <h1st0> asaup: check out the other grub howtos from ubotu.  You should be able to just add an entry for whatever kernel you have installed.
[05:58] <xamox> how do I set my default video player?
[05:58] <asaup> ok thanx
[05:58] <Jesset77> asaup, now that I think about it, when I installed ubuntu 6.10 the only kernel it gave me was i386. Does that one not function properly 4u?
[05:58] <variant> xamox: there is no conventional simple system wide way to do it
[05:58] <smo> use e2label /dev/sdb1 yourname      for exemple tonren
[05:58] <Jesset77> asaup, sorry I meant the only one it gave me was generic, instead of i386
[05:58] <smo> depend on your hdd fs
[05:59] <Tonren> smo: thanks
[05:59] <petoj> hi, i have problem with ubuntu. When I try first time (after opening browser) see a page, it takes too long (about 15s). I am behind router and Windows XP dont have this problems
[05:59] <h1st0> variant: he could set it for his user.
[05:59] <billy> chris2077:  well, that's the same one I've got.  I'll pastebin mine.  make a backup of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.  `sudo cp /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.backup`.
[05:59] <variant> xamox: you can symlink vlc/mplayer/whatever to /usr/bin/totem.. that will acheive what you want but it's not gracefull
[05:59] <Rooy> asaup: you said there were both ubuntu i386 and generic in grub at once before?
[05:59] <xamox> variant, alright
[05:59] <xamox> variant, thanks.
[05:59] <xamox> variant, what if I remove totem?
[05:59] <petoj> all: hi, i have problem with ubuntu. When I try first time (after opening browser) see a page, it takes too long (about 15s). I am behind router and Windows XP dont have this problems
[05:59] <billy> !pastebin | billy
[06:00] <variant> xamox: mv /usr/bin/totem /usr/bin/totem.backup && ln -s /usr/bin/vlc /usr/bin/totem
[06:00] <h1st0> xamox: right click on a video file.  Go to properties check out the open with tab
[06:00] <Jesset77> Anyone here know about partitioning?
[06:00] <PriceChild> !anyone | Jesset77
[06:00] <ubotu> Jesset77: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[06:00] <Lynoure> Jesset77: most people, I'd guess
[06:00] <variant> xamox: won't matter, it will be reinstalled next upgrade though, so you would need to reset the symlink
[06:00] <Taime1> i do somehwat h1st0
[06:00] <petoj> hi, i have problem with ubuntu. When I try first time (after opening browser) see a page, it takes too long (about 15s). I am behind router and Windows XP dont have this problems
[06:00] <Jesset77> remote repastes his original question then. :P
[06:00] <Dame> Im trying to boot xubuntu from a usb flash drive. Ive formated it into ext3 filesystem and changed bios setting to boot from it. But, it doesnt work. Do i need to do some other stuff?
[06:00] <Jesset77> Hello. When ubuntu installs, what software does it use to repartition disks?
[06:00] <chris2077> billy: how do i see yout pastebin
[06:01] <Tonren> Jesset77: gparted
[06:01] <variant> h1st0: the problem with that is that there are many many video formats..
[06:01] <Lynoure> petoj: try disabling ipv6 if you do not use it.
[06:01] <variant> Jesset77: parted
[06:01] <Taime1> gparted, Jesset77
[06:01] <smo> what more dame??
[06:01] <Lynoure> !ipv6 | petoj
[06:01] <ubotu> petoj: To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4
[06:01] <h1st0> variant: better than making symlinks breaking other stuff though.
[06:01] <variant> h1st0: it doesn't break anything
[06:01] <emet> how do I install ntfs-3g
[06:01] <petoj> thx
[06:01] <h1st0> variant: he would just have to use it ass needed.
[06:01] <variant> !fuse | emet
[06:01] <Jesset77> Thanks. I have got to go now :)
[06:01] <ubotu> emet: Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing using fuse here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[06:01] <smo> even if i set the bios right i must use f8 anyway to boot on my usb key dame...
[06:01] <h1st0> !ntfs-3g | emet
[06:01] <ubotu> emet: ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but please remember to keep backups of critical data.

[06:02] <billy> chris2077:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9826/
[06:02] <petoj> 3g i now safe
[06:02] <smo> ntfs-3g+ ntfs-config right
[06:02] <PriceChild> petoj, still keep backups ;)
[06:02] <Dame> smo, F8 work on certain motherboards or?
[06:02] <IndyGunFreak> always keep backups... always
[06:02] <smo> normally yes
[06:02] <smo> f8 /f2
[06:03] <billy> chris2077:  compare mine against yours.
[06:03] <Tonren> How can I verify that an .iso is a valid CD image?  (That is, how can I make sure that nothing corrupted it during download?)
[06:03] <depesz> hi. i've got a problem. just installed kubuntu on a laptop, and it does something strange with wireless - brings eth1 up, but without ip nor anything. i have to manually: sudo ifdown eth1; sudo ifup eth1 and then it works
[06:03] <Dame> smo, u done the same procedure right? ext3 filesystem and copied live cd?
[06:03] <variant> h1st0: yes, it's a pita though. i'm sure there will be a decent resolution to the problem in future
[06:03] <smo> how did you prepared your drive dame?
[06:03] <smo> no
[06:03] <depesz> do you have any ideas on what could i screw to make it that way?
[06:03] <depesz> all config is in /etc/network/interfaces as usual.
[06:03] <smo> i made 1 fat32 +boot flag like 800 mo
[06:03] <smo> and one ext3 of 1.2 go renamed as casper-rw with e2label
[06:03] <Tonren> depesz: Please pastebin the contents of your /etc/network/interfaces
[06:04] <Dame> smo, so I need 2 partitions
[06:04] <smo> u have some files to move from the live cd and rename 1 file
[06:04] <peloverde> Is it possible to use evolution without setting up a mail account?

[06:04] <SanguineAnomaly> hi guys - i'm trying to install amarok 1.4.5, but following the instructions on the kubuntu site doesn't work, it doesn't want to update
[06:04] <smo> and use syslinux
[06:04] <Dame> smo, what guide do u followed?
[06:04] <SanguineAnomaly> anyone know what the problem is? ;/
[06:04] <smo> i m french
[06:04] <smo> it s all in french
[06:04] <blind> My monitor is capable of 1280x1024 screen resolution (I've done it before), my xorg.conf got borked, so I went through and fixed it. I made sure 1280x1024 is in my xorg.conf, and I have the correct refresh rates, however the Screen Resolution window doesn't display 1280x1024... Why not?
[06:04] <chris2077> billy: they are the same
[06:04] <Dame> smo, oh ok... can u explain me step by step pleaes
[06:04] <depesz> Tonren: pasting.
[06:04] <Dame> smo, please*
[06:05] <Tonren> SanguineAnomaly: Is there a particular reason you can't use the version in the repos?
[06:05] <h1st0> blind: did you restart X?
[06:05] <smo> but google -> ubuntu live cd from usb with persistent mode
[06:05] <blind> h1st0: yes
[06:05] <SanguineAnomaly> Tonren, not really - i just want the newest version, is that a problem? :p
[06:05] <depesz> tonren: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9828/
[06:05] <smo> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1062799&postcount=100
[06:05] <smo> like that...
[06:05] <h1st0> blind: did you add it for all the depths in xorg.conf?
[06:05] <blind> h1st0: yes, i did
[06:05] <ncaller> I have these new APC UPS which are rack mountable or stand tall or lay flat, I would like to set my LCD's on them.  Anyone think that would be dangerous to the LCD's?
[06:05] <Tonren> SanguineAnomaly: No problem at all; I was just curious.  No sense in overcomplicating things if you don't need to.
[06:05] <h1st0> blind: perhaps cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE  should see any errors you are getting
[06:05] <SanguineAnomaly> hmm
[06:06] <smo> call me in pm dame...
[06:06] <blind> h1st0: I'll take a look, thanks.
[06:06] <depesz> Tonren: any ideas?
[06:06] <billy> chris2077:  open a terminal and run `alsaconf`.  It ought to work now.
[06:06] <Tonren> SanguineAnomaly: In general, I try to wait for the repos to handle things if possible, because manually installing an app tends to mean that aptitude no longer automatically updates it.
[06:06] <h1st0> !resolution > blind
[06:06] <chris2077> yeh, well sudo alsaconf worked
[06:06] <h1st0> blind: also you could grep WW for warnings.  There should be something in there about why it failed to start under that res.
[06:06] <SanguineAnomaly> Tonren, but the kubuntu guide tells me to add a repo that has it in, then it should just upgrade :/
[06:07] <SanguineAnomaly> but it doesn't :S
[06:07] <blind> h1st0: alright. there's no errors, i'll check for warnings.
[06:07] <Tonren> depesz: Hmm, that seems like it ought to work.  (Then again, my wireless fails to configure on boot, too.)
[06:07] <jeanre> is it posible to go from edgy to feisty
[06:07] <chris2077> billy: it says stop the sound driver, how do i do this, or should i let it do it
[06:07] <Tonren> SanguineAnomaly: Oh, I see - you're not *manually* installing it, you're just trying to GET the version in the repos.
[06:07] <SanguineAnomaly> Tonren, yea
[06:07] <h1st0> jeanre: fiesty talk is in #ubuntu+1
[06:07] <Tonren> SanguineAnomaly: Okay, so, amaroK is already installed, right?  Which version do you have right now?
[06:07] <billy> chris2077:  let it do it.
[06:07] <jeanre> just a question bro
[06:07] <jeanre> heh
[06:07] <SanguineAnomaly> Tonren, 1.4.3
[06:07] <depesz> Tonren: any idea on what to do to make it working automatically?
[06:07] <jeanre> not really going to do it
[06:07] <depesz> Tonren: it works "by hand"
[06:08] <Rooy> jeanre: people there have more exp with that than here
[06:08] <h1st0> jeanre: yes its possible
[06:08] <Tonren> SanguineAnomaly: According to my repository cache, 1.4.3 is the latest version available in the repositories.
[06:08] <jeanre> man gnome + beryl == great++
[06:08] <Tonren> SanguineAnomaly: It happens often that the repositories won't have the latest version actually available - lots of work has to be done to make sure that installing the new version won't break anyone's system.
[06:08] <Tonren> jeanre: Yeah, Beryl was worth the trouble.
[06:08] <SanguineAnomaly> Tonren, http://kubuntu.org/announcements/amarok-1.4.5.php
[06:08] <chris2077> billy: i have 2 cards available, i assume we are configuring the intel
[06:08] <Tonren> depesz: I have the same problem, my friend.  I wish I knew what the deal was.
[06:08] <billy> chris2077:  you assume correctly.
[06:09] <blind> h1st0: no warnings, either. I'm looking through that link you had sent to me, but I don't see anything useful yet.
[06:09] <Tonren> depesz: Try looking through /var/log/syslog, /var/log/daemon.log and dmesg for output from dhclient during boot.  It may give you some hints.
[06:09] <ee99ee> I'm setting up a new software RAID array... RAID-5... when I try to install the bootloader (grub or lilo), I get fatal error
[06:09] <h1st0> blind: there should be something in that link about adding resolutions.
[06:09] <Taime1> jeanre, i agree
[06:09] <h1st0> blind: I have to go.  l8tr
[06:09] <depesz> Tonren: do you start it by hand yourself?
[06:10] <ee99ee> when I look at the syslog, LILO is reporting: "Only RAID1 devices are supported as boot devices"
[06:10] <depesz> or did you setup something working for yourself?
[06:10] <Tonren> depesz: I do.
[06:10] <chris2077> billy: Do i want to modify /etc/modprobe.d/sound and /etc/modprobe.conf if present?
[06:10] <ee99ee> I'm sure grub will say the same thing
[06:10] <ee99ee> what should I do?
[06:10] <billy> chris2077:  yes.  you've always got that backup we created.
[06:10] <Tonren> depesz: Well, I "sort of" do it by hand.  I wrote a script that runs when I login.
[06:10] <Tonren> SanguineAnomaly: I assume you've added that repository?  Have you run "sudo apt-get update" since adding that repo to your /etc/apt/sources.list?
[06:10] <billy> chris2077:  oh, that was a different file.  alsaconf ought to automatically create a backup.  Nothing lost.
[06:11] <soundray> ee99ee: create a root partition on a non-RAID disk?
[06:11] <SanguineAnomaly> Tonren, yes
[06:11] <ee99ee> soundray: I have to use RAID
[06:11] <soundray> ee99ee: if you want a root on RAID at any cost, separate /boot onto a partition of its own outside the RAID
[06:11] <chris2077> billy: i got my sound back again! still with the high pitched buzzing though
[06:11] <Tonren> SanguineAnomaly: Hmm... try doing "sudo aptitude install amarok=1.4.5"
[06:11] <Seveas> BigMac, you here?
[06:11] <ee99ee> soundray: can I not boot from a RAID device?
[06:11] <billy> chris2077:  well shoot.
[06:11] <blind> My monitor is capable of 1280x1024 screen resolution (I've done it before), my xorg.conf got borked, so I went through and fixed it. I made sure 1280x1024 is in my xorg.conf, and I have the correct refresh rates, however the Screen Resolution window doesn't display 1280x1024... Why not?
[06:12] <chris2077> billy: and when i adjust volume everything goes
[06:12] <SanguineAnomaly> Tonren, Unable to find a version "1.4.5" for the package "amarok"
[06:12] <billy> chris2077:  there are others with this same problem.  try not to be discouraged.
[06:12] <Tonren> SanguineAnomaly: Humm... what about amarok=2:1.4.5-0ubuntu10
[06:12] <depesz> Tonren: :( thanks anyway
[06:12] <smo> amarok booo
[06:12] <xyber> h1st0: just wanted to let you know, it got me back where I need to be  thanks dude
[06:12] <soundray> ee99ee: I think it's possible somehow, but I don't know what trickery is involved. Have you seen the factoid from ubotu:
[06:12] <smo> use songbird!!!
[06:12] <Buffman> hey, has anyone gotten the macbook pro wireless working in dapper? (Atheros AR5424)
[06:12] <soundray> !raid > ee99ee
[06:12] <smo> new music player it rocksss
[06:12] <chris2077> billy: yeh, when can i expect a final solution?
[06:12] <Tonren> depesz: I can help you get it to automatically configure your wireless when you *log in*, but not when you boot up
[06:12] <ee99ee> thanks
[06:13] <DragonionS> Hello!
[06:13] <Priest-of-Psi> isnt songbird qt?
[06:13] <Priest-of-Psi> any vim kings here?
[06:13] <Chesney> Good afternoon. I've got a quick question. I've never used wireless on linux before. Always been wired. But down to the question at hand. Is it possible to used the Linksys WMP54G Wireless PCI card on Ubuntu? If so does anyone know the chipset on it (And if anyone can point me to a tutorial, thats just as well)
[06:13] <smo> don t  know Psi
[06:13] <PREMIUM93> Hello, I was hoping someone could help me find the GLut.h, GLu.h, and GL.h files ?
[06:13] <Tonren> Priest-of-Psi: I'm pretty good with Vim.
[06:13] <smo> don t think so
[06:13] <DragonionS> Could you tell me how can I recompile the kernel module?
[06:13] <Priest-of-Psi> Tonren: pm?
[06:13] <Tonren> Priest-of-Psi: Technically you ought to ask vim-related questions in #vim though.
[06:13] <peloverde> songbird is XUL/Toolkit which wraps gtk+ on X11
[06:13] <SanguineAnomaly> Tonren, same :(
[06:13] <Rooy> PREMIUM93: try installing the freeglut3-dev package
[06:13] <Tonren> SanguineAnomaly: Lame.  I'm afraid I have no answer for you, my friend.
[06:13] <Priest-of-Psi> man I need textmate!
[06:13] <soundray> Chesney: it's not usually possible to tell the chipset from the model name
[06:14] <smo> i like songbird concept it s good
[06:14] <mitsuhiko> Priest-of-Psi: http://programming.reddit.com/info/19c36/comments
[06:14] <depesz> Tonren: i can write a small script myself. this is not a problem.
[06:14] <soundray> !wireless > Chesney, read ubotu's private message please
[06:14] <mitsuhiko> Priest-of-Psi: vote it up then
[06:14] <PREMIUM93> Rooy: Alright, will it automatically move the files over to the correct place?
[06:14] <Priest-of-Psi> I wish linux had a textmate clone
[06:14] <mitsuhiko> then there is a chance that i'll do it ;)

[06:14] <Chesney> soundray: Ahhh, Like I said i'm new to the whole wireless deal. Anyway to figure it out?
[06:14] <Tonren> depesz: Ahh.  Ok.  Yeah, it sucks.  I can't figure out how to get it to configure on bootup.
[06:14] <Tonren> depesz: It used to work for me, but not anymore.  It's an awful hassle.
[06:14] <Rooy> PREMIUM93: the configure script will find them in the default place
[06:14] <soundray> Chesney: boot a live CD and run 'lspci'
[06:15] <mitsuhiko> Priest-of-Psi: but if too few people are interested in there is no chance
[06:15] <Rooy> PREMIUM93: i'm guessing you're compiling smt
[06:15] <IndyGunFreak> WHy is it when I rip a DVD movie, it almost looks like the people in the movies are "lip singing".. audio seems a tad off, and i can't figur eout why, using dvdrip
[06:15] <chris2077> billy: remmember that ubuntu site you linked me to earlier
[06:15] <DragonionS> What should I write in konsole to recompile the kernel module?
[06:15] <billy> chris2077:  we aint' done yet.
[06:15] <PREMIUM93> Rooy: actually, I apt-get seems to be doing the trick
[06:15] <soundray> Chesney: also, check if you can simply set it up through System-Administration-Networking
[06:15] <billy> chris2077:  gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[06:16] <chris2077> billy: am already there
[06:16] <billy> chris2077:  you're on a laptop right?
[06:16] <sa> hi
[06:16] <Priest-of-Psi> mitsuhiko: has it been released?
[06:16] <chris2077> billy: yeh, i just pasted this in options snd-hda-intel laptop
[06:16] <Tonren> SanguineAnomaly: Have you asked in #kubuntu?
[06:16] <mitsuhiko> Priest-of-Psi: i'm not even working on it so far
[06:16] <Taime1> can anyone help me install konqueror with plugin support?
[06:16] <mitsuhiko> Priest-of-Psi: i don't start something nobody needs :)
[06:16] <sa> 
[06:16] <PREMIUM93> Rooy: Ahh, thanks for the helping hand, I'm in business!
[06:16] <Priest-of-Psi> mitsuhiko: make it!\
[06:16] <Priest-of-Psi> eish
[06:17] <Rooy> PREMIUM93: you're welcome
[06:17] <Chesney> soundray: Alright. Thanks a ton for the help. Just out of curiosity, overall does Linksys wireless seem to work well with linux? Or am I starting on a weekend killer? :)
[06:17] <SanguineAnomaly> Tonren, well, i thought since i was on ubuntu, i'd ask here first :/
[06:17] <chris2077> billy: i pasted this in options snd-hda-intel model=laptop
[06:17] <emet> !kubuntu

[06:17] <codecaine> anyone familiar with pygtk and glade?
[06:17] <billy> chris2077:  you read my mind.  save it and reboot.
[06:17] <Priest-of-Psi> mitsuhiko: can you do it now?
[06:17] <Priest-of-Psi> :d
[06:17] <codecaine> i can't seem to set one of my buttons to be default, so it is activated when i hit enter
[06:17] <blind> Chesney: my linksys card worked out of the box.

[06:18] <AndrewB> yes dcordes
[06:18] <allyer> i think that ubuntu 6.10 doesnt support SATA HD, cause it is halted
[06:19] <Chesney> Alright. Thanks again for all the help :) lets see if I can get this running.
[06:19] <AndrewB> !nfs install
[06:19] <soundray> Chesney: good luck
[06:19] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nfs install - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:19] <allyer> i will take the ubuntu again
[06:19] <billy> allyer, actually, you need the alternate install CD's.  it'll install fine with the alternate install cd's.
[06:19] <allyer> yeah, i will to download the alternative cd
[06:19] <codecaine> how do i tell glade that i want my button to be default, so where ever i am in my app i click enter and the default button is activated?
[06:19] <DragonionS> allyer: I use Ubuntu 6.10 & SATA HD
[06:19] <dcordes> AndrewB: thank i will take a look
[06:20] <chris2077> billy: its fixed! im so pleased
[06:20] <AndrewB> dcordes: http://mywheel.net/blog/index.php/ubuntu-network-install/
[06:20] <billy> chris2077:  there's ALWAYS a fix.  remember that.
[06:20] <soundray> codecaine: it may be difficult to find the answer here -- probably have to find a more devel-oriented channel
[06:20] <whtvrrob> is there apt-get for vmware? player/server
[06:20] <dcordes> AndrewB: great thanks
[06:20] <AndrewB> dcordes: infact that is a crap one. I am sure I have seen an NFS install,.
[06:20] <codecaine> soundray, will do, thanks
[06:20] <Rooy> codecaine: like #python on freenode
[06:21] <DragonionS> People, what I have to write in konsole to recompile the kernel?
[06:21] <ShiftyPowers> has anyone had an issue with grub not responding to keyboard commands?
[06:21] <Joost> whtvrrob, Try synaptic
[06:21] <chris2077> billy thanks so much for the help, your a star
[06:21] <PREMIUM93> join #opengl
[06:21] <ShiftyPowers> it's weird, keyboard works at boot
[06:21] <Taime1> is it Possible to install konqueror under gnome with plugin support just using kdelibs?
[06:21] <billy> chris2077:  really glad to help you.  i'm glad it's fixed.  Really, we both have the good folks at ubuntu to thank.
[06:21] <Rooy> !kernel
[06:21] <ShiftyPowers> but won't respond during the list of OSes
[06:21] <blind> Taime1: yes
[06:21] <Taime1> then im doing something wrong
[06:21] <leemur> what is the fastest way to copy an audio CD?
[06:21] <billy> chris2077:  need help with anything else?
[06:21] <chris2077> billy:yes, true, another thing ive always wondered, is it pronounced youbuntu or oobuntu?
[06:21] <Rooy> looks like ubotu doesn't have anything to say about kernel
[06:22] <billy> chris2077:  ooboontoo
[06:22] <blind> Taime1: you installed it via the repos, correct?
[06:22] <PriceChild> !kernel | Rooy
[06:22] <ubotu> Rooy: kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[06:22] <Taime1> yeah
[06:22] <leemur> without making an intermediary copy of the audio CD
[06:22] <Taime1> i uninstalled it after i couldnt get it working , lemme reinstall, ill brb
[06:22] <Rooy> chris2077: under ~/Examples there's a video with Nelson Mandela
[06:22] <DragonionS> 
[06:23] <DragonionS> thanks
[06:23] <billy> Rooy:  death to Examples.  `sudo rm -r ~/Examples`.
[06:23] <DragonionS> :)
[06:23] <helder> #ubuntu-fr
[06:23] <soundray> billy: that won't even work
[06:23] <Rooy> billy: I browsed all of them first
[06:23] <billy> soundray:  no?  worked for me.
[06:23] <ant_> billy : soundray is right
[06:23] <iGadget> hi
[06:24] <blind> My monitor is capable of 1280x1024 screen resolution (I've done it before), my xorg.conf got borked, so I went through and fixed it. I made sure 1280x1024 is in my xorg.conf, and I have the correct refresh rates, however the Screen Resolution window doesn't display 1280x1024... Why not?
[06:24] <chris2077> haha this mandela video is a bit ott for an os
[06:24] <billy> ant_:  maybe I'm off on the command.  Been a while since I got rid of it.
[06:24] <Treeform> hi does any one know of a word per minute task bar counter ?
[06:24] <asaup> i have a problem. i installed suse linux. before i had ubuntu with kernel generic and ubuntu with kernel i386. now grub displays to me only the generic kernel. what can i do to load the i386
[06:24] <iGadget> can anyone recommend me a brand/model videocard to replace my defective geforce 6800?
[06:24] <Rooy> not for the concept
[06:24] <blind> iGadget: any other comparable geforce card?
[06:25] <billy> so what's the command?  I forget.
[06:25] <Taime1> plugins isnt even in the menus for editing
[06:25] <FunnyLookinHat> iGadget, a GeForce 7600 GT?
[06:25] <chris2077> i guess theres few better to front your product than nelson mandela
[06:25] <renquanta> I've got a Toshiba laptop (A135 series) with a Phoenix bios, which the Toshiba ACPI doesn't seem to support.  How do I get full ACPI support?
[06:25] <billy> "humanity of others" makes me nervous.
[06:25] <Taime1> true, chris2077
[06:25] <soundray> billy: I take it back -- rm -r seems to delete non-empty directories now (ant_)
[06:26] <bend1> I would like to get a new copy of my /etc/default/acpi-support file.
[06:26] <iGadget> blind: no specific model you can recommend, as in, 7800 over 7600 or vice-versa??
[06:26] <billy> soundray:  how dare thee doubt the billy.  :)
[06:26] <blind> Taime1: I just installed Konqueror via apt-get and it runs fine.
[06:26] <Taime1> but i did that too, but plugins
[06:26] <Taime1> no * plugins
[06:26] <Rooy> ~/Examples is a (sym?)link, rm -r does delete it target?
[06:26] <blind> iGadget: I don't know very much about different video cards, you're just gonna have to check out the specs and decide for yourself.
[06:26] <soundray> billy: don't be fooled. The meaning of the word "ubuntu" is "I can't get Debian installed"
[06:26] <ghostdog> !Multiverse
[06:26] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[06:27] <billy> soundray:  no.  it means, I can't get Beryl working. Get it right.
[06:27] <bend1> Sorry...  I need a new copy of my /etc/default/acpi-support file, which in synaptic is listed as being part of the acpi-support package.  How can I reinstall this file using the command line?
[06:27] <Rooy> soundray: or it means: that debian discs are too much to download
[06:27] <billy> soundray:  actually I've got ubuntu and debian dual boot.  Debian has a few bugs which I'm working out.
[06:28] <merike> hello, can anyone help me with the problem I described here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=381021
[06:28] <iGadget> blind: guess it comes down to that. I had just hoped to hear some positive experiences here with certain brands / models.
[06:28] <Taime1> lol@soundray
[06:28] <soundray> billy: oh, good for Debian ;)
[06:28] <PriceChild> !offtopic
[06:28] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[06:28] <zafod77> Has anyone here at the install hang during copying files? It's at 49% and just hanging. Top shows no intaller process runing.
[06:28] <blind> iGadget: I personally love nVidia, but I don't recommend any specific model.
[06:28] <Rooy> zafod77: can you press alt-f4 and see what's at the end?
[06:28] <soundray> zafod77: this is usually a fingerprint or a failed burn. Run the CD check from the boot option.
[06:28] <billy> soundray:  the whole "philosophy" mess behind Ubuntu makes me nervous.  But oh well.
[06:29] <zafod77> Rooy: AltF4 does nothing
[06:29] <zafod77> soundray: Will run the CD check
[06:29] <billy> gosta run gang.  be back laterz.
[06:29] <ant_> there are several "special" editions of ubuntu that are kinda wierd too
[06:29] <Taime1> so why doesnt konqueror support plugins in gnome ?
[06:30] <soundray> billy: oh, but you're fine with the Debian social contract? Oh well... Sorry, we should heed PriceChild's advice and take it to -offtopic
[06:30] <iGadget> blind: allright, I'll just stick to nvidia then. Just have to decide if it'll be a 7600 or pay extra for a 7800. Thanks.
[06:30] <bend1> merike: are you on the problem machine now?
[06:30] <blind> My monitor is capable of 1280x1024 screen resolution (I've done it before), my xorg.conf got borked, so I went through and fixed it. I made sure 1280x1024 is in my xorg.conf, and I have the correct refresh rates, however the Screen Resolution window doesn't display 1280x1024... Why not?
[06:30] <merike> no, it doesn't have internet :D
[06:30] <billy> ant_:  you mean like Satanic Ubuntu.  soundray:  I'll have to look into that.  yeah, it's offtopic.   no more from me and I'm out!
[06:31] <ant_> lol, he just wanted to get that in before he left..
[06:31] <bend1> merike: are you next to it?  Can you try things one-by-one?  I am not an expert, but
[06:31] <bend1> itsounds like I can help some.
[06:31] <iGadget> blind: check your xorg.0.log, it'll probably give you a clue what went wrong
[06:31] <blind> iGadget: there's no errors or warnings.
[06:31] <merike> yes, it's right here with me
[06:32] <bend1> merike: open a terminal window, and type ifconfig.  Is there an entry for eth1?
[06:32] <iGadget> blind: that's weird. There should be some notice about 'modeline not supported, skipping'
[06:32] <owner> (First time on IRC) Can I get help here for a hang-up starting live 6.10 (64 bit) on a new motherboard?
[06:32] <freepenguin> ciao a tutti
[06:32] <iGadget> blind: I have a dell monitor here which supports 1600x1200. But the DPMS info says 1280x1024 max, so I have to specify a manual override
[06:32] <soundray> blind: did you specify HorizSync and VertRefresh?
[06:32] <merike> yes, I even changed it's mac yesterday, so that my isp should give me an ip
[06:33] <blind> iGadget: the thing is, i *know* it's supported. I've done it with this card/monitor combo on ubuntu before... for some reason my xorg broke and  even after I fixed it, I can't get my 1280x1024 back... 1024x768 is KILLING me.
[06:33] <ompaul> !it |  freepenguin
[06:33] <ubotu> freepenguin: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[06:33] <blind> soundray: I did.
[06:33] <soundray> blind: where did you take them from?
[06:33] <blind> soundray: i did some googling earlier before. the same refresh rates have worked under ubuntu before.
[06:33] <ompaul> owner, you need to tell people more - before they know if they can help you or not, i.e. be specfic in what you want to know you are rather vague
[06:34] <iGadget> blind: are you using dapper or edgy?
[06:34] <blind> iGadget: edgy.
[06:34] <soundray> blind: always better to take them from your monitor documentation or ddcprobe
[06:34] <blind> soundray: but they've worked before... why wouldn't they work now?
[06:34] <CapriCoRN^80> i just installed ubuntu edgy .. plz tell me wat next i should to install softwares
[06:35] <soundray> blind: there's no way for me to answer that
[06:35] <nko> hi i have a big problem...
[06:35] <kbrooks> !install | CapriCoRN^80
[06:35] <ubotu> CapriCoRN^80: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[06:35] <kbrooks> er
[06:35] <lufis> nko: just ask your question :)
[06:35] <kbrooks> !installing software | CapriCoRN^80
[06:35] <kbrooks> hm
[06:35] <boojit> wow, now that's a lot of people in one channel...
[06:35] <soundray> blind: do you want to say what you entered, just for a sanity check?
[06:35] <bend1> merike: ok, so it sounds like you have the basics.  It isn't unusual to have to change the mac address - the cable companies view it as a security measure.  If you want, you may be able to ask the cable company to change the mac they accept.    From your terminal prompt, if you type 'host google.com' what happens?
[06:35] <hdxx> CapriCoRN^80: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy
[06:36] <soundray> boojit: a good reason to stay on topic
[06:36] <nko> after my upgrad from dapper to edgy...in low gnome panel isn't icon when i open a window
[06:36] <blind> soundray: you want my refresh rates? Horiz: 30-82 Vert: 50-70
[06:36] <CapriCoRN^80> like we use yum .. wat should i use here to install softwares
[06:36] <sacater> where can I get sound drivers for my motherboards sound card
[06:36] <blind> I have them written down... on my monitor. I wrote them when I got it to work
[06:36] <bend1> blind: you need to look through your xorg log file for any mentions of 1280x1024
[06:36] <hdxx> CapriCoRN^80: apt-get
[06:36] <blind> !sound | sacater
[06:36] <ubotu> sacater: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[06:36] <merike> I'm not sure, because if I typed that I'd need network cable to be connected? I only have one that I need to chat here
[06:36] <CapriCoRN^80> ok
[06:36] <EnsignRedshirt> This may be a FAQ today...  My desktop has the correct time this morning, but my laptop is still an hour behind. Both are running dapper.
[06:37] <soundray> blind: sounds like it should be fine with your desired resolution. In Xorg.0.log, do you find notices of 1280x1024 being actively discarded?
[06:37] <owner> ompaul: okay.  It's an Intel DG965RY with 2.4GHz Core2Duo and PCI Express video (NVidia). The startup hangs with "Unable to access TTY.  Job control turned off".  At that point I am at a command prompt.
[06:37] <boojit> soundray: you realize that if you admonish me for not being on topic, that means that you yourself are not being on topic right?
[06:37] <soundray> nko: right click the lower panel, select Add to Panel and add Window List
[06:37] <EnsignRedshirt> zdump prints nothing.  I have run tzconfig to set make sure my timezone is correct.
[06:37] <profXavier>  morning
[06:38] <Acu01> I found Krusader and KDiff3 - which helps beautifully compare the files among TWO Folders - however I want to see whether I have DUPLICATE files in the SAME FOLDER  - any hint how should I do that ?
[06:38] <soundray> boojit: yes, I do, but I also realize I have the rights to be offtopic for the one or two lines that it takes to stop reasonable people like you from writing offtopic stuff.
[06:38] <boojit> Acu01: you mean the same file contents but with different names?
[06:38] <profXavier> anyone have success with getting a "QuickCam Communicate STX" setup?
[06:38] <nko> tnx
[06:38] <sobczyk> hi, anyone knows how to change comma to dot in float point numbers?
[06:39] <merike> it's really bad timing but I need to go away for about 10 minutes, will be back though
[06:39] <bend1> merike: yes, that is a problem!  :-)  After you connect the cable, try host google.com and if that works, ping google.com  If there is a problem, you can also try sudo ifdown eth1 and then sudo ifup eth1.  This is presuming
[06:39] <blind> profXavier: yeah, I have one working right now
[06:39] <bend1> that you use eth1.
[06:39] <profXavier> what did you use as a driver?
[06:39] <blind> v4l
[06:39] <Rooy> Acu01: try md5sum all file in the folder, then pipe the output through sort
[06:39] <soundray> EnsignRedshirt: is your tzdata package up to date?
[06:39] <nko> you say if now the ubuntu kernel support internal memory card reader?
[06:39] <profXavier> hmm
[06:40] <ompaul> owner, I don't have a 64bit box - which is why I said "people" and I have no idea what causes that failure, if you started with the 64bit installer did it get installed and stop at this point or are you trying to install and it stops at this point (i.e. in this case it is working off the CD )
[06:40] <soundray> EnsignRedshirt: also, make sure you run it with the right options: zdump -v /etc/localtime
[06:40] <EnsignRedshirt> soundray: I just searched for tzdata in synaptic, and it did not find anything.
[06:40] <Acu01> boojit: I have a folder which contains other folders - which have many duplicates - YES the Names are the same
[06:40] <profXavier> did you have a site blind where you read about it?
[06:40] <chris2077> just wondering, has anyone had any success with airsnort/aircrack?
[06:40] <EnsignRedshirt> soundray: Is the package actually called 'tzdata'?
[06:40] <boojit> ok yeah you'll need to do what Rooy said but you may have to use find to transverse all the folders.
[06:40] <soundray> EnsignRedshirt: yes
[06:41] <soundray> !info tzdata
[06:41] <blind> profXavier: nah, just kinda plugged it in and it worked..
[06:41] <ubotu> tzdata: Time Zone and Daylight Saving Time Data. In component main, is required. Version 2007b-0ubuntu0.6.10 (edgy), package size 306 kB, installed size 5728 kB
[06:41] <profXavier> hmm
[06:41] <boojit> Acu01: try: find . -exec md5sum '{}' \; |sort
[06:41] <EnsignRedshirt> soundray: In dapper?
[06:41] <ant_> chris2077 : i have
[06:42] <Livia> How do I check which version of Wine I have installed?
[06:42] <profXavier> well, I was working on it all last night
[06:42] <godofredo07> hi guys
[06:42] <profXavier> what apps are you using the webcam in?
[06:42] <blind> Livia: from terminal, wine --version
[06:42] <chris2077> ant_ did you find installation easy, it looks complex from what ive read online
[06:42] <blind> profXavier: webcam, amsn, gyachi
[06:42] <Livia> thanks!
[06:42] <godofredo07> does anyone know how to add windows (in a separate partition) if I have ubuntu already installed?
[06:42] <EnsignRedshirt> soundray: There is no tzdata in dapper.
[06:43] <Acu01> boojit: whao! that's for smart people - it will take me a week to translate all this signed - is like the egiptian hyeroglife : )  - let me try though
[06:43] <ant_> chris2077 : apt-get makes it very easy, i dont use airsnort though.. kismet is the best.
[06:43] <soundray> EnsignRedshirt: in that case, make sure your libc6 is up to date
[06:43] <Rooy> godofredo07: just install windows normally and then
[06:43] <owner> ompaul:  No, the "live" startup aborts at that point.  The "non-64bit" normal version of 6.10 will not start either.  I wonder if, since this MB has no traditional serial ports, if that has something to do with it?
[06:43] <Rooy> !grub |godofredo07
[06:43] <ubotu> godofredo07: 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
[06:43] <EnsignRedshirt> soundray: Everything is up-to-date.
[06:43] <chris2077> ant_:thanks for the info, il get that instead
[06:43] <ompaul> owner, that is not where I would be looking
[06:43] <soundray> EnsignRedshirt: is /etc/localtime present?
[06:43] <godofredo07> Rooy, is there a graphical partition manager for ubuntu 6.10?
[06:44] <ant_> chris2077 : you just have to change one line in kismet.conf and bam...
[06:44] <ompaul> owner, how "new to market" is that board?
[06:44] <Rooy> godofredo07: there's gparted
[06:44] <boojit> Acu01: try: find . -exec md5sum '{}' \; |sort |uniq -d
[06:44] <godofredo07> Rooy, i should just make a partition and then tell windows to install normally on that partition?
[06:44] <profXavier> in amsn, it says "Your ports are well config". "webamsn extension is loaded" and "Capture extension -capture is loaded", which would lead me to beleive that only the driver isnt loaded/ webcam is not plugged in
[06:44] <owner> ompaul: I'd say within the last 6 months or so.
[06:44] <boojit> Acu01: that will give you just the repeated lines (which is the files that arre the same)
[06:44] <blind> Okay, I did some xorg tweaking, I originally had it set up for a twinview which I no longer have, so I went through and removed those entries.. I AM getting (WW) NVIDIA(0): No valid modes for "1280x1024"; removing; -- but why? my card is still the same, my monitor is still the same, and im using the same refresh rates i was using before.
[06:45] <profXavier> so how do I check which driver its using/change it to v4l (if need be)
[06:45] <ompaul> owner, the suggestion from a quick google or three is that you should reorder the disks on your mobo
[06:45] <Rooy> godofredo07: you can resize a partition down to get freespace, that way there less error chance when you install windows
[06:45] <godofredo07> Rooy, how?
[06:45] <soundray> blind: do you want to pastebin your xorg.conf for us to take a look?
[06:46] <godofredo07> Rooy, with what program?
[06:46] <blind> soundray: sure, gimme a second.
[06:46] <ompaul> owner, one comment: After a couple futile attempts at other installation methods, I simply reordered my drives and put windows and linux on SATA 1 & 2 and put the data drive on SATA 3. Now everything works fine.
[06:46] <Rooy> godofredo07: there's gparted in the main repo
[06:46] <owner> ompaul:  Thanks, I'll do that now.
[06:46] <godofredo07> Rooy, not on add/remove
[06:46] <bend1> acu01: try this instead of the md5 suggestion - it should be faster find . -maxdepth 1 -printf '%s %f \n' | sort
[06:46] <godofredo07> Rooy, do i use synaptic?
[06:46] <godofredo07> Rooy, after i install how do i run it?
[06:46] <Rooy> godofredo07: yes, in synaptic
[06:47] <blind> soundray: http://dpaste.com/6690/
[06:47] <Rooy> godofredo07: i guess it would appear in applications --> accesories menu
[06:47] <EnsignRedshirt> soundray: Yes; /etc/localtime is a link to /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern
[06:47] <godofredo07> okay..
[06:47] <godofredo07> Rooy, thanks a lot
[06:47] <owner> ompaul:  There is only one 250G drive in the machine; it is blank.
[06:47] <bend1> acu01: the md5 idea will work fine - just slow to do the calculations.  My idea only compares the file sizes.  You would probably want to diff the files to be sure.  Remove the maxdepth option if you want to search subdirectories.
[06:47] <Rooy> godofredo07: if  not, you can run "sudo gparted" in a terminal
[06:47] <godofredo07> Rooy, (the only reason i need a partition is for gaming :( )
[06:47] <profXavier> how do I know if v4l is installed/is being used by a device (webcam) ?
[06:48] <godofredo07> Rooy, wine isn't going to work
[06:48] <godofredo07> Rooy, thank you for your help
[06:48] <profXavier> nm, I have to run
[06:48] <Acu01> bend1 and boojit: I should be at the directory I want to look for duplicates ?
[06:48] <Rooy> godofredo07: you know, there's GNOME Same... j/k
[06:49] <ompaul> owner, move it around
[06:49] <bend1> I'll ask in a different way.  How can I install a configuration file from a package that is already installed?
[06:49] <kaptengu> why do I have to do "sudo firefox" to get greasemonkey to work?
[06:49] <Livia> Has anyone tried running (any) version of Cedega on Ubuntu Edgy (Kernel 2.6.17-11) the wiki says it runs into issues with copy protection?
[06:49] <owner> ompaul:  Understood.  Thanks for the info.
[06:49] <blind> kaptengu: i would recommend against running firefox as root.
[06:49] <soundray> EnsignRedshirt: what do you get from zdump -v /etc/localtime | grep 2007   ?
[06:50] <kaptengu> blind: but how do I get greasemonkey to work as normal user?
[06:50] <boojit> Acu01: yes
[06:50] <jo__> bend1: hi! what do u mean?/need?
[06:50] <blind> kaptengu: I'm not sure, I'm not familiar with it.
[06:50] <EmxBA> what would be difference between ssh public key and pgp public key?
[06:50] <soundray> blind: nothing obvious in there. Can you check Xorg.0.log again to see if the correct amount of memory is detected?
[06:50] <bend1> acu01: Yes.   The . in the find command  says to search in the current directory.  If you don't want to change to the directory you are interested in, you could change find . to fine /usr/share (as an example).
[06:50] <blind> soundray: I'll take a look..
[06:50] <EnsignRedshirt> I get four lines: two for March 11, and two for Nov 4.
[06:50] <mapalma> hola
[06:51] <vayde> Anybody here that can take a whack at troubleshooting a newbie's failed install?
[06:51] <soundray> EnsignRedshirt: so, you're all set then
[06:51] <EnsignRedshirt> soundray: In theory, I guess.  My clock is still wrong.
[06:51] <GottferDamnt> what is the version of xfce on edgy?
[06:51] <EnsignRedshirt> soundray: I just rebooted it, too.
[06:51] <b45i> join #ubuntu.pl
[06:51] <bend1> jo_: I have acpi-support installed, which according to synaptic installs the file /etc/default/acpi-support file.  I would like a new, fresh copy of the /etc/default/acpi-support file.  How can I get it?
[06:51] <b45i> :P
[06:52] <blind> soundray: gonna be honest, no clue what im looking for.
[06:52] <soundray> EnsignRedshirt: what happens when you run 'date ; sudo /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate ; date'?
[06:52] <Doddman> If I ubuntu my ubuntu, can I ubuntu ubuntu ubuntu?
[06:53] <EmxBA> yes you can, Doddman :)
[06:53] <soundray> blind: mine contains "(--) NVIDIA(0): VideoRAM: 524288 kBytes"
[06:53] <Doddman> cool
[06:53] <merike> leaving to try that
[06:53] <albacker> is it possible to save phone calls under UBUNTU like in windows with modem spy ?
[06:53] <EmxBA> if you are ubuntu, than you can ubuntu other people
[06:53] <EnsignRedshirt> soundray: I get the correct time. :)
[06:53] <godofredo07> Rooy, I'm in gparted.....How do i resize?
[06:53] <EmxBA> :D
[06:53] <blind> soundray: ah, mine is 131072 kBytes
[06:53] <chris2077> i have apt-get installed kismet, but cant find it, any suggestions as to where it might be?
[06:53] <EnsignRedshirt> soundray: So, why wasn't that automatic, and what do I change so that it is automatic from now on?
[06:53] <blind> chris2077: dpkg -L kismet
[06:54] <chris2077> cheers blind
[06:54] <soundray> EnsignRedshirt: I don't know -- see how it goes, my guess is that it will stay correct
[06:54] <soundray> blind: that should be plenty for 1280
[06:54] <blind> soundray: lol, it should be. any clue why it refuses to let me have it?
[06:54] <jo__> bend1: aha, did you messed it up a little?
[06:55] <godofredo07> Does anyone know how to resize a partition in gparted??
[06:55] <EnsignRedshirt> soundray: Hmmm, OK.  Thanks for your help!
[06:55] <albacker> can i register phone calls in ubuntu with a modem ?!
[06:55] <Matic`Makovec> Hey. Is there any alternative client to connect to ventrilo server or is ventrilo over wine my only chance?
[06:55] <soundray> godofredo07: run gparted from a live CD. Then it would be obvious
[06:55] <godofredo07> okay
[06:56] <godofredo07> soundray, how much space is needed for a clean windows install + 3 games?
[06:56] <soundray> albacker: yes, with vgetty. Try 'apt-cache search vgetty'
[06:56] <blind> godofredo07: depends on which games and which version of windows.
[06:56] <soundray> godofredo07: are you kidding me? Do I look like a Windows user?
[06:56] <soundray> ;)
[06:56] <godofredo07> soundray, :)
[06:56] <GottferDamnt> anyone knows what is the version of xfce on edgy please?
[06:56] <blind> godofredo07: iirc, i think windows XP takes about 3 gigs
[06:56] <bend1> jo_: I want to diff my copy of acpi-support which I finally got working, with an unchanged copy, so Ican document the changes I made for other users of this model laptop.
[06:57] <godofredo07> soundray, will grub then give me the choice of booting windows or linux after i partition?
[06:57] <soundray> blind: sorry, I really don't know... Do you have a live CD handy?
[06:57] <jo__> bend1: one idea would be to reinstall it through syn-m. to be sure its going to be a new file u can delete manually the installed file in /etc/default
[06:57] <blind> soundray: I do.
[06:57] <nko> hi... how can i install firefox 2 in my ubuntu dapper upgraded to edgy?
[06:57] <godofredo07> soundray, how will i know what it defaults too?
[06:57] <soundray> godofredo07: only if you configure it.
[06:57] <albacker> soundray, there's no vgetty in the repos, just libmodem-vgetty-perl - Perl module for interfacing with vgetty (Modem::Vgetty)
[06:57] <albacker> mgetty-pvftools - Programs for listening and manipulating pvf and rmd files
[06:57] <albacker> mgetty-voice - Voicemail handler for mgetty
[06:57] <EnsignRedshirt> GottferDamnt: If you don't get an answer here, you could search at ubuntu.packages.com form xfce.
[06:57] <godofredo07> soundray, how do i configure it :( ?
[06:57] <EnsignRedshirt> *for
[06:57] <briguyd> nko, if you upgraded, it should already be installed
[06:57] <soundray> albacker: the package is mgetty-voice I think
[06:58] <briguyd> nko, go into firefox and do help>about firefox and see what version you have
[06:58] <blind> !firefox > nko
[06:58] <EnsignRedshirt> GottferDamnt: Make that packages.ubuntu.com
[06:58] <nko> no, it's remain firefox 1.5
[06:58] <albacker> soundray, thanks, ill let you know how's it going on
[06:58] <soundray> blind: boot that, copy /etc/X11/xorg.conf from it and try to rerun nvidia-xconfig
[06:58] <godofredo07> soundray, please tell me configuring it is easy :( ?
[06:58] <chris2077> how do i find out via terminal what my wireless card/driver is?
[06:58] <bend1> jo_: I did delete the /etc/default/acpi-support file.  But I can't choose to install the acpi-support package in synaptic as it is already installed.  I can't remove it, as there are a lot of dependencies on it.  I thought reinstall might work to install the configuration files again, but it doesn't seem to.
[06:58] <soundray> godofredo07: for me, yes... ;)
[06:58] <alejo> Hi. How do I set up the PATH for a program run from X?
[06:59] <IndyGunFreak> chris2077: lspci will likely list it
[06:59] <godofredo07> soundray, for me?
[06:59] <nko> firefxo 1.5
[06:59] <whtvrrob> for wine do i need any apt-get files besides just sudo apt-get install wine?
[06:59] <bend1> chris2077: try sudo lshw | less and/or lspci
[06:59] <godofredo07> soundray, please say its a graphical interface...
[06:59] <Livia> Matic`Makovec:  There's a ventrillo for linux script on http://www.ventrilo.com/download.php
[06:59] <soundray> godofredo07: the file is /boot/grub/menu.lst -- there is an example Windows boot stanza in there. You have to copy it to the end of the file and uncomment it.
[06:59] <IndyGunFreak> bend1: i think lspci will show it, not 100% though, i don't screw with wireless..
[06:59] <soundray> godofredo07: graphical interface? To grub?
[07:00] <jo__> bend1: reinstall should work, dont try to deinstall it, cause of deps, ok lest see, i can send u mine if u want, that should do the job
[07:00] <Matic`Makovec> Ventrilo reports an error:"Failed to open sound device. Another program might be using it already." How could I make alsa or something to...I don't know...work for more programs or something?
[07:00] <Matic`Makovec> Livia, clients? I only see linux server, no client
[07:00] <chavo> yes your text editor is a graphical interface for configuring grub
[07:00] <GottferDamnt> EnsigneRedshirt ok thank
[07:00] <Livia> Matic`Makovec: It's under third party, at the bottom.
[07:00] <Matic`Makovec> Livia, oh, third party. Indeed, didn't see that. Thanks
[07:00] <albacker> soundray, any idea how to use mgetty ?
[07:00] <variant> chavo: thats a bit of a silly comment
[07:00] <Livia> Matic`Makovec: What version of ubuntu are you on?
[07:01] <Matic`Makovec> 6.10
[07:01] <chavo> im a silly guy
[07:01] <chris2077> bendl: im liking the sudo lshw | less, great feature that
[07:01] <alejo> Hi. How do I set up the PATH for a program run from X?
[07:01] <chris2077> IndyGunFreak: nailed it
[07:01] <IndyGunFreak> chris2077: good...
[07:01] <godofredo07> soundray, could you pastebin where it goes?
[07:01] <soundray> albacker: I'm sorry, I last used it about five years ago. It's a bit involved, but I had it running wonderfully as a full-featured answering machine
[07:01] <godofredo07> soundray, i see the example but i don't know where it goes in the list?
[07:01] <nko> with "locate firefox2" i have deb packages!!!????
[07:02] <godofredo07> soundray, also, can i edit it before there is a windows OS on it?
[07:02] <Pastorn> panic mode!! i just had a file deleted with rm from an ext3 partition! how do i resurect it?
[07:02] <bend1> jo_: in synaptic, choosing to reinstall acpi-support did *NOT* reinstall the missing configuration
[07:02] <Berto> hi - i use XMMS but it has been crashing like crazy.  Is there a doc on compiling debs from sources?
[07:02] <albacker> soundray, im not finding any tuto..
[07:02] <bend1> file /etc/default/acpi-support.
[07:02] <soundray> godofredo07: doesn't matter, as long as you put it after "### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST"
[07:02] <Crescendo> How can I get the following two cards working together?  01:09.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV5M64 [RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro]  (rev 15) and 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5500]  (rev a1)
[07:02] <soundray> godofredo07: yes, you can do it before Windows is installed.
[07:03] <variant> Crescendo: together in what way?
[07:03] <soundray> godofredo07: the sample assumes that Windows is on the first partition on the first hard disk. Is that where you're installing it?
[07:03] <godofredo07> soundray, sure?
[07:03] <paul__> hi, i just installed ubunto 6.10.  what is the default root password so i can access gparted?
[07:03] <jo__> bend1: ok, but its installed, so i can send you mine, cause its genuine.. didnt change things there, lets see, how should i send it to u? i could pastebin
[07:04] <godofredo07> soundray, how do i do that...sorry...n00blet to ubuntu and partitioning
[07:04] <Crescendo> variant, using both cards, two displays
[07:04] <variant> paul__: there is no root password
[07:04] <chris2077> paul__ same as yours, surely
[07:04] <godofredo07> soundray, and tired :)
[07:04] <graphikz`> how can I change a user's home directory through terminal?
[07:04] <variant> paul__: use sudo -i to become root or run the comand you want with sudo in front of it
[07:04] <soundray> godofredo07: look, you can either trust my advice, or discard it, but don't ask me to confirm
[07:04] <jo__> !pastebin > jo_
[07:04] <paul__> hmm, i tried and it didn't work,   so i switch sessions and log in as 'root'?
[07:04] <godofredo07> soundray, ok sorry
[07:04] <chris2077> paul__:NO
[07:05] <variant> paul__: it will prompt you for your own password
[07:05] <EnsignRedshirt> paul__: What do you mean 'it didn't work'?
[07:05] <merike> after eth0 down, setting new mac, eth0 up, I had no connection, used ifdown and ifup and it connected!
[07:05] <Livia> Matic`Makovec:  As far as sound, this might help:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft#head-9f4c9e2df7bf2ce0429e495e9e6e55f58eac4e49
[07:05] <desertfish> Hi, all.  Where do I configure bluetooth devices so they're correctly identified?  My GPS receiver is seen as an input device
[07:05] <godofredo07> soundray, i think everything is good i just have to find out how to install it to the first partition
[07:05] <Matic`Makovec> Livia, thank you
[07:05] <alejo> Hi. How do I set up the PATH for a program run from X?
[07:05] <soundray> godofredo07: have you made a partition for Windows to go on yet?
[07:05] <chris2077> is there a website which can tell you an ip address of any site? similar to whatismyip.com but as in whatistheirip.com
[07:05] <variant> alejo: $PATH /path/to/program
[07:06] <re-align> !pastebin
[07:06] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[07:06] <variant> chris2077: whois.net
[07:06] <merike> now I need to figure out how to set it so that it executes those commands automatically at boot
[07:06] <graphikz`> chris2077 : http://DNSstuff.com
[07:06] <bend1> chris2077: type host sitename at a  terminal prompt
[07:06] <paul__> so how do i access the graphical gparted?
[07:06] <graphikz`> what is the command line to change a user's home directory?
[07:06] <godofredo07> soundray, it won't let me add a new partition..i guess i should do it off a live cd
[07:06] <alejo> variant: but where do I put this? Is for a program lunch from X
[07:06] <soundray> variant: your suggestion for alejo needs some explanation I think
[07:06] <chris2077> variant graphikz bendl: thanks
[07:06] <Godsey> graphikz`: usermod -d /new user
[07:07] <variant> paul__: gksudo gparted
[07:07] <graphikz`> what if it an already existing user?
[07:07] <variant> lol program lunch
[07:07] <Godsey> isn't that what you asked?
[07:07] <graphikz`> ohhh
[07:07] <graphikz`> isee
[07:07] <graphikz`> nvm
[07:07] <graphikz`> i read it wrong
[07:07] <graphikz`> thx
[07:07] <Livia> chris2077:  Ubuntu 6.10 has it built in, too.  System>Administration>Network Tools>Whois tab
[07:07] <paul__> is there anyway to "log in" and have it in a menu like when i ran the live CD?
[07:07] <flodine> uname -a
[07:08] <IndyGunFreak> bend1: thats a handy trick. thank you
[07:08] <jimbo> 'lo all
[07:08] <soundray> godofredo07: so you have a plan now?
[07:08] <jimbo> first time linux user... having an issue with add/remove
[07:08] <chris2077> Livia:thanks, thats useful
[07:08] <soundray> jimbo: describe
[07:09] <godofredo07> soundray, i think
[07:09] <jimbo> as user, no "Advanced" button is available. As root, "Add/Remove" dowsn't show up at all
[07:09] <jimbo> *doesn't
[07:09] <LaughingSam> Hiya folks. Is it possible to automount eternal usb-drives when running ubuntu in console mod? How would one do it?
[07:09] <soundray> godofredo07: one thing about partitioning: you can create primary and logical ones.
[07:09] <soundray> godofredo07: make sure you stop at three primary ones, and create only logical ones after that.
[07:10] <paul__> how do you send a direct a message to someone in this chat?
[07:10] <soundray> godofredo07: otherwise gparted will refuse to cooperate, or leave unpartitionable space, or both.
[07:10] <godofredo07> soundray, in gparted i make a new partition called hd0?
[07:10] <IndyGunFreak> paul__: pretty sure you have to be registered
[07:10] <Livia> Paul__: Right click on their name, and left click on private chat
[07:10] <nekr0z> dcc paul__
[07:10] <PriceChild> IndyGunFreak, I allow unregistered pm's to send to me
[07:11] <PriceChild> nekr0z, no thankyou
[07:11] <soundray> godofredo07: no, hd0 is grub speak for the entire first hard disk in your system.
[07:11] <IndyGunFreak> PriceChild: well, thats cuz you love everyone.
[07:11] <soundray> godofredo07: (hd0,0) would be the first partition, called /dev/hda1 in Linux terms.
[07:11] <Berto> i have gaim installed, but it's a very old version.  what's the best way of going to 2.0.0beta6?  Right now we're at beta3.1
[07:11] <godofredo07> soundray, so i right click on the empty space, make a new partition and make it primary
[07:11] <jo__> bend1: here my acpi-support file, i changed laptop-mode to "true", if you are running on pc u can change it to 'false' ... to create a new one .. terminal: sudo gedit /etc/default/acpi-support  and paste thse content into it: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9842/
[07:12] <soundray> godofredo07: no, make it logical if it offers that. Note the name. If it's /dev/hda5, the grub name is (hd0,4)
[07:12] <alejo> no
[07:12] <krugger> Small question: can use a shared lib that has its symbols stripped? I mean will there not be a problem linking against it?
[07:12] <graphikz`> fuck, it still won't let me in.
[07:12] <PriceChild> !ohmy | graphikz`
[07:12] <ubotu> graphikz`: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[07:12] <graphikz`> I changed my home directory to /, now I can't log in
[07:13] <IndyGunFreak> graphikz`: why did you change it?
[07:13] <godofredo07> soundray, o so i make it first then go back into the menu.lst and change it to the correct (hd0, X)
[07:13] <desertfish> anyone know where to look to get my old thinkpad to suspend/hibernate?
[07:13] <graphikz`> FTP purposes
[07:13] <pradeep> graphikz`, you can't make / your home directory
[07:13] <graphikz`> I did.
[07:13] <graphikz`> Lol
[07:13] <soundray> godofredo07: yes.
[07:14] <IndyGunFreak> therein lies the reaosn yo ucan't login
[07:14] <krugger> graphikz, ctrl+alt+f1 and log in there
[07:14] <godofredo07> soundray, sorry for making this more difficult then it was....brain stops working on weekends
[07:14] <jimbo> Anyone? Problem with "Add/Remove" function: as user, no "Advanced" button is available (just not there...). As root, "Add/Remove" does not show up at all
[07:14] <bend1> desertfish: what model?
[07:14] <merike> notice {merike} {test}
[07:14] <LaughingSam> Hiya folks. Is it possible to automount external usb-drives when running ubuntu in console mode? How would one do it?
[07:14] <omha> hey, how can i see the users in xchat gnome?
[07:14] <godofredo07> soundray, i apologize i have wasted 15 minutes of your life you cant get back :)
[07:14] <desertfish> bend1 600X
[07:14] <graphikz`> now how do I change my home directory?
[07:14] <pradeep> graphikz`, you'll be able to login if the user has rwx on /
[07:14] <soundray> desertfish: first step is to look up installation reports for your model on tuxmobil.org. Have other users managed to suspend/hibernate?
[07:15] <graphikz`> rwx?
[07:15] <merobertd> hi does anyone know about ubuntu oem installs
[07:15] <alejo> I'm running xemacs from the launcher, in xubuntu. How I setup the path that see xemacs?
[07:15] <soundray> godofredo07: those 15 minutes are my donation in return for the fantastic OS that Ubuntu is ;)
[07:15] <bend1> jo_: thank you.
[07:15] <superbenny> omha, go up to veiw and userlist options
[07:15] <godofredo07> soundray, agreed
[07:15] <bend1> merike: are you all set now?
[07:15] <OuZo> how do i mount a ext3 hard drive?
[07:15] <krugger> graphiz, change it back by editing /etc/passwd
[07:16] <Cyrus25801> how do i open a winrar file
[07:16] <pradeep> graphikz`, permissions read/write/execute on / which is a risk... so change it some place else where you have the necessary permissions
[07:16] <soundray> alejo: if you installed xemacs from the ubuntu package, the path is already set up.
[07:16] <jo__> bend1: should work, hope it helps,, :)
[07:16] <jimbo> omha: when mine first opened, it was there, but had to be expanded. See if you have an extra scrollbar to the right...
[07:16] <krugger> unrar e filename
[07:16] <godofredo07> soundray, i really like the start menu on edgy 6.10
[07:16] <godofredo07> soundray, one last question :)
[07:16] <godofredo07> soundray, how do i make myself root?
[07:17] <soundray> !rar > Cyrus25801, please read the private message from ubotu
[07:17] <godofredo07> soundray, is it sudo -i?
[07:17] <graphikz`> pradeep : Can we PM, this chan moves too fast ;p
[07:17] <soundray> godofredo07: yes. It will ask for your user password
[07:17] <krugger> sudo bash
[07:17] <pradeep> graphikz`, ok
[07:17] <alejo> soundray: I want to set up the path that "see" xemacs. When I run xemacs from the console, it see the PATH i set in .bashrc, but when I run it form the launcher, it doesn't see that PATH
[07:17] <soundray> krugger: please don't recommend sudo bash
[07:17] <Godsey> krugger: ya, sudo -i is way better :P
[07:17] <krugger> I don't recomend it, but he wanted a root shell
[07:18] <halitech_ns_test> sudo bash could really allow you to mess things up
[07:18] <hendaus> hi
[07:18] <godofredo07> soundray, thank you...I'll let you get on with all the other questions...
[07:18] <merike> it connected well after those commands, yes, I wrote two messages before that one too, but I didn't target them as I don't know how you send those yellow messages
[07:18] <hendaus> can anyone help thanx
[07:18] <nekr0z> !ask | hendaus
[07:18] <ubotu> hendaus: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:18] <soundray> krugger: sudo -i is the recommended way to get a root shell. Everything else tends to mix up the environment variables.
[07:19] <jo__> hendaus: whats up?
[07:19] <soundray> alejo:
[07:19] <soundray> oops
[07:19] <krugger> learned something new. :)
[07:19] <hendaus> nekr0z, i am newbie with kubuntu,i have dapper version i need to update to edgy
[07:19] <chris2077> hi, i am confused in editing the capture source in kismet.conf, can someone help me
[07:19] <hendaus> jo__, how are you i need to update from dapper to edgy
[07:19] <pradeep> graphikz`, are you trying to pm me?
[07:19] <krugger> So anyone know if it makes sense to try to dlopen a stripped shared library?
[07:20] <nekr0z> !upgrade | hendaus
[07:20] <ubotu> hendaus: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[07:20] <soundray> alejo: in the field "Command:", enter 'PATH=/your/path1:/your/path2 xemacs'
[07:20] <chris2077> i am aware what my capture source is, however i am having trouble entering it in the way they want
[07:20] <nekr0z> hendaus: :)
[07:20] <halitech_ns_test> from a terminal, do sudo "update-manager -c -d"
[07:20] <soundray> alejo: you can do 'echo $PATH' in a terminal and copy-and-paste the output
[07:20] <jrib> halitech_ns_test: doeesn't that upgrade t feisty?
[07:20] <hendaus> nekr0z,  i open this site but i dont know exactly, can u help me :)
[07:21] <nekr0z> hendaus: what's the problem in fact?
[07:21] <halitech_ns_test> jrib, I think it will update you to the next available version, although I could be wrong
[07:22] <soundray> halitech_ns_test: the '-d' is for "development version"
[07:22] <hendaus> nekr0z, i want you to help me how can i make update if u wish
[07:22] <meeseontheleese> ubuntu was my first distro, but due to random issues with my user accounts and eff ups in testing, I switched to gentoo, Im thinking of creating a linux box for my madre who has gotten tired of dealing with MS, have mass improvements been made to the ubuntu setup? what testing release are we in? still in debians etch or is it a whole different beast now?
[07:22] <halitech_ns_test> soundray, for dsome reason now that I try it, it says it can't find the update-manager in dapper
[07:23] <paul__> anyone know how I can get my gparted in the menu bar like when i ran the live CD?
[07:23] <nekr0z> hendaus: But it is shown step-by-step at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades and I can hardly tell you more than is there unless you tell me what goes wrong...
[07:23] <alejo> soundray: I tried that, but xemacs try to open that file
[07:23] <Godsey> meeseontheleese: I like it much better now vs etch
[07:23] <hendaus> nekr0z,  the problem i am using old version and i want to install devede, coz i need to burn vcd and dvd movies
[07:23] <Tonren> How do I STOP a particular device/partition from being mounted when I plug it into a USB port?
[07:23] <Godsey> tho if you want even easier to use desktop, maybe try Freespire
[07:23] <soundray> alejo: make sure that xemacs is at the end, not at the beginning of the entry in Command:
[07:23] <alejo> Doesn't the PATH for the program launch from the Desktop is set globally somewhere?
[07:23] <Godsey> or Mepis
[07:24] <aedes> what are peoples thoughts on running a server on ubuntu and which one is best?
[07:24] <meeseontheleese> Godsey well when I first tried it, it was a nice distro, a little too much gloss for my tastes, but the bigest issue i ahd was that it lost my user accounts after a while, has such instabilities been countered? anyone have any complaints about their ubuntu box
[07:24] <jo__> hendaus: hey, i'm fine thanks, upgrade is not recommended, beter fresh install, here some links on howto: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=227052 and http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_dapper#How_to_upgrade_from_Dapper_Drake_to_Edgy_Eft_.28experimental.29
[07:24] <halitech_ns_test> aedes, I run a home server using 6.06 on an old p2 350 and it runs fine
[07:24] <hendaus> nekr0z,  thank you my friend but like if u told me what to type so i can be right
[07:24] <krugger> aedes, I ran ubuntu-server and it didn't raise any problems
[07:24] <yomm> !ubuntu-server | aedes
[07:24] <ubotu> aedes: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 6.06. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ - The #ubuntu-server channel provides specific support
[07:24] <Godsey> meeseontheleese: if it's too much gloss for your mother, then I don't know what to tell you :)
[07:25] <pradeep> aedes, been running edgy as a server for while now
[07:25] <aedes> thanks yomm that's what I was looking for
[07:25] <meeseontheleese> for reference I was using ubuntu back in I think warty warthog
[07:25] <alejo> soundray: I get an error message:"Could not run xemacs"
[07:25] <pradeep> meeseontheleese, it's much much better now
[07:25] <nekr0z> hendaus: Well it is told in that guide, it would be the same if I told it.
[07:25] <meeseontheleese> lol, no I dont think itll be too much gloss for her, knowing her shell be saying ooooo, pretty
[07:26] <meeseontheleese> pradeep good to know
[07:26] <Godsey> meeseontheleese: I like freespire/mepis for novice users because they include everything like flash
[07:26] <halitech_ns_test> meeses, dapper is much better now, not sure on edgy and fiesty
[07:26] <krugger> edgy only has a small problem with OpenAFS
[07:26] <hendaus> nekr0z,  if u are free , so go on and lets make it together..what did u say? :P
[07:26] <meeseontheleese> godsey well I know about automatix that and since switching to gentoo Ive become quite versed in "the linux ways", as my friend put it
[07:26] <nekr0z> hendaus: gksu "update-manager -c"
[07:26] <krugger> you have to use the feisty openafs
[07:27] <usbdisk> is there a file editor with a GUI on the live CD or one I can easily download?
[07:27] <usbdisk> i.e. a hex editor or text editor that will accept any file type
[07:27] <Godsey> I've used linux since 1993 but never for my desktop
[07:27] <halitech_ns_test> usbdisk, you could always install XFCE for a lightweight gui so you have the tools available for you
[07:27] <chris2077> i am getting this message with kismet - FATAL: GetIFFlags: interface ethX: No such device, any suggestions?
[07:27] <Godsey> my wife uses linspire on her laptop
[07:27] <jo__> hendaus: here some common problems on upgrading and solutions: http://blog.mypapit.net/2006/10/howto-solve-ubuntu-dapper-edgy-upgrade-problem.html
[07:27] <bulmer> do laptops usually attempt to check if their "hidden" file still exist before it boots? i wonder if my installing ubuntu wiped that out and it wont boot, but i can go to rescue and see the hd has the /boot
[07:28] <ramza3> what is the premier ftp application for ubuntu; filezilla?
[07:28] <meeseontheleese> also, shes a fan of beryl and likes the expose type feature and Im wondering how hard it is to set up on say a celeron running at I think 466 with an ati rage 2
[07:28] <Tonren> Anyone?  Is there a way to STOP a particular USB disk from being automounted?
[07:28] <meeseontheleese> cant remember if the ati rage2 is legacy or not
[07:28] <Livia> Nvidia GeForce 7600 OC (PCI express), 2.8 dual core processor, 1 gig ram, Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy, Kernal: 2.6.17-11-generic, wine-0.9.32, NVIDIA Driver Version: 1.0-9755 I used Envy to get my graphics drivers, and everything went fine. Beryl runs fine. I installed Wine, and used Wine to install WoW, and that went fine too. Tried to play wow (beryl was off, I promise) and it was really, really slow. In game graphics for items were garbled as we
[07:28] <Livia> tried a fix that I found *somewhere* in which a key was added to the registry entry for Wine, enabling OpenGL. Tried wow again. Much faster, same issue with in game graphics however, and 2 minutes in it crashes to desktop. Tried again, same result. Removed the registry key and it went back to not crashing, just being unplayably slow.
[07:28] <nekr0z> Godsey: I use ubuntu on my laptop and am totally happy.
[07:28] <halitech_ns_test> tonren, I think you would have to stop all of them from being mounted
[07:28] <Godsey> nekr0z: I support more windows desktop than unix servers :)
[07:28] <omha> Godsey, how do you find female linux users that are quailyfied to be married?
[07:29] <Godsey> omha: she was a vms junkie before I came along
[07:29] <halitech_ns_test> meese, I'm pretty sure the rage2 is legacy
[07:29] <_raphael_> can I make ubuntu remember the wep code? now I have to plot it every time I login
[07:29] <Godsey> being a unix user, I told her how stupid filesystem versioning is
[07:29] <Godsey> :)
[07:29] <hendaus> nekr0z,  it shows this on the terminal http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9867/
[07:29] <kbrooks> Godsey, as in, theres none?
[07:30] <Lam_> i'm upgrading my self-compiled gaim 2b5 to 2b6.  can i just ./configure, make, make install and it'll upgrade 2b5, or do i have to uninstall 2b5 first? (and if so, how?)
[07:30] <halitech_ns_test> raphael, have you tried using wlassistant?
[07:30] <omha> Godsey, the perfect way to find a gals heart
[07:30] <Tonren> halitech_ns_test: Does it really just automount every possible partition whenever possible?
[07:30] <hendaus> jo__,  ty :)
[07:30] <_raphael_> halitech_ns_test: no. now I am using the gnome networkmanager
[07:30] <ramza3> I guess gftp
[07:31] <halitech_ns_test> tonren, only if it is a removable drive, hard drive partitions you have to mount but any usb drive I've hooked up has always automounted
[07:31] <jo__> hendaus: u should backup your system before going to the unknown
[07:31] <Godsey> she's changed alot since she got out of university tho :)
[07:31] <facugaich> Lam_, I uninstalled b5 before compiling b6, so I guess you can do it
[07:31] <digitize> hey, i'm experienced using debian, ubuntu, and a bunch of other distros, but ubuntu specifically, do you think fiesty fawn is at the point where it's stable enough to use (keeping in mind i will run into bugs)
[07:31] <Godsey> she basically uses email, and searches ebay and craigslist for crap to buy for the house now
[07:31] <Tonren> halitech_ns_test: Hmmm.
[07:31] <nekr0z> hendaus: You didn't end that line with "
[07:31] <halitech_ns_test> raphael, maybe try wlassistant, from what I've heard it works pretty good for that
[07:31] <nekr0z> hendaus: press CTRL+C and go again
[07:32] <kbrooks> digitize, #ubuntu+1 plz
[07:32] <usbdisk> is it possible to format an ntfs partition on an external usb drive from a live cd? I've given up trying to fix it.
[07:32] <digitize> kbrooks: hmm, alright, ty
[07:32] <cables> Does anyone know of a good NTP server?
[07:32] <kbrooks> digitize, hint: read topic
[07:32] <slippyr4> evening all
[07:32] <_raphael_> halitech_ns_test: it`s a kde prog...
[07:32] <halitech_ns_test> usbdisk, I don't know if the live cd will but maybe the bootable gparted live cd should
[07:32] <jo__> usbdisk: try gparted livedisk, is better than on distro-livecd
[07:32] <hendaus> nekr0z,  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9873/
[07:33] <piglit> can annyone please help me out i am trying to install a TV-card AVER-media M150-D witch uses the CX23882-19 chipset and a CX23416-12 Mpeg II decoder al goes well the modules get loaded when i do a lsmod i can see cx8800  and cx88xx but when i startup this error msg (twice): "videoinput: Can't get tuner info: Invalid argument"

[07:34] <|mikel_868|> hi all
[07:34] <jo__> hendaus: its easier than upgrade, i can tell u, takes u 10 min and than u are free to go
[07:34] <LaNCeloT_RW> anyone knows a good P2P program to download music and video that DO NOT uses java?
[07:34] <nekr0z> hendaus: are you sure your system is healthy?
[07:35] <bulmer> Tonren: there is a command  pmount --lock device pid   i have not used it, just came across it
[07:35] <usbdisk> I get a bluescreen on any windows machine (XP or even vista) error in NTFS.sys driver, including the windows boot CDs. I just want to format the OS partition! Someone please help me.
[07:35] <Livia> LaNCeloT_RW: UTorrent.
[07:35] <datelus> LaNCeloT_RW,  i use revconnect ( with wine ) and qbittorrent
[07:35] <hendaus> nekr0z,  healthy??
[07:35] <slippyr4> usbdisk ? eh?
[07:35] <Tonren> bulmer: Cool.
[07:36] <Livia> usbdisk: Can you get into BIOS?
[07:36] <usbdisk> yes
[07:36] <buddy> hey... how can I deactivate the wine system tray adaptor?
[07:36] <Livia> usbdisk: Can you set ti to boot from a cd?
[07:36] <usbdisk> yes, I'm booting from a CD now
[07:36] <usbdisk> I'm talking about a windows installation sorry
[07:36] <usbdisk> I'm hoping a live CD can help me fix it
[07:36] <Livia> Usbdisk: If you click install, it will let you get to the parition manager.
[07:36] <LaNCeloT_RW> Im looking for one like :FrostWire, limewire
[07:36] <nekr0z> hendaus: Ah, that was kubuntu? Then you'd betteg use kdesu instead of gksu
[07:36] <slippyr4> the bluescreen is a STOP error, what is the (8 digit, hex) error code?
[07:36] <Livia> Usbdisk:  Just make sure you select manual :)
[07:37] <LaNCeloT_RW> that doesnt use Java
[07:37] <hendaus> jo__,  i wish but nekr0z is helping me and i am reading him and yours
[07:37] <LaughingSam> Hiya folks. Is it possible to automount external usb-drives when running ubuntu in console mode? How would one do it?
[07:37] <buddy> hey... how can I deactivate the wine system tray adaptor? someone knows?
[07:37] <alejo> How do you setup the enviromment variables seen by a program run from the program launcher?
[07:37] <usbdisk> the partition manager on the windows CD?
[07:37] <Livia> LaNCeloT_RW: zeropaid.com has a list of every p2p client there is.
[07:37] <jo__> hendaus: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=81311
[07:37] <lynucs> hi all
[07:37] <LaNCeloT_RW> Livia, i'll check it
[07:37] <slippyr4> buddy: does it come up when you logon, or when you use wine?
[07:38] <xtknight> alejo, use "run from terminal" and specify "ENVVAR=value prog cmd line"
[07:38] <Livia> Usbdisk: no.  ubuntu live cd will allow you to manage the paritions.
[07:38] <usbdisk> it will let me format as NTFS?
[07:38] <lynucs> hey, could anyone tell me how to skip the "configuring network devices" at booting ubuntu?
[07:38] <xtknight> lynucs, edit init scripts
 buddy: does it come up when you logon, or when you use wine? << when I was using wine.. thats weird.. the wine programs was in my systray.. and now are in the wine system tray adaptor :/
[07:38] <hendaus> nekr0z,  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9878/
[07:38] <halitech_ns_test> usbdisk, are you able to boot into windows at all?
[07:39] <Livia> Usbdisk:  Nope, but it will erase any partitions, so you can reinstall from the windows cd
[07:39] <slippyr4> buddy: no idea then, sorry
[07:39] <bulmer> lynucs: why would you want to do that?
[07:39] <usbdisk> haitech: not past the first loading screen. Even the boot CD crashes
[07:39] <buddy> I tryed to reinstall wine but nothing changed :/ slippyr4
[07:39] <halitech_ns_test> usbdisk, boot from the live cd and run the memtest, I'm thinking you may have some bad ram
[07:39] <lynucs> bulmer, it stocks there about 1.5 mins if my wireless card is present
[07:39] <usbdisk> haha, why do you think that?
[07:40] <usbdisk> the hard disk will cause the error on any of the 3 machines I've tried
[07:40] <tommy12796> I have just installed ubuntu on this computer and i had to struggle with a 640x480 screen resolution, it wont let me change it, is there anyway i can?
[07:40] <halitech_ns_test> cause I've seen it before
[07:40] <bulmer> lynucs: can you not remove your wireless card and only insert after full boot is done?
[07:40] <lynucs> sure.. but i dont want to :D
[07:40] <Livia> Usbdisk: What are you on right now?
 I have just installed ubuntu on this computer and i had to struggle with a 640x480 screen resolution, it wont let me change it, is there anyway i can? << open the terminal and run the dpkg-reconfigure xerver-xorg command
[07:41] <lynucs> are there any boot options i could set in grub? sth like nodhcp or sth :D
[07:41] <nekr0z> hendaus: ok then
[07:41] <Livia> Usbdisk:  The problematic hard drive using a ubuntu live cd?
[07:41] <slippyr4> lynucs, or you could switch to network-manager for your wlan, and then it won't  get brought up until login.
[07:41] <chris2077> has anyone found a GUI client for kismet on the repos
[07:41] <tommy12796> buddy, i should mention that i am not experienced with ubuntu, i have only used it once before
[07:41] <nekr0z> hendaus: sudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:41] <slippyr4> buddy: don't quote the whole of someones question when replying, it's confusing
[07:41] <nekr0z> hendaus: and change EVERY "dapper" to "edgy"
[07:42] <VXWorks> hi all, does E16 work fine in ubuntu ?
[07:42] <usbdisk> Livia: 5.10 live CD on different computer to the one that first had the problem with the broken disk attached by USB
[07:42] <xtknight> VXWorks, yup
[07:42] <lynucs> where can i read more about boot options?
[07:42] <linxeh> is there a good subversion gui ? like tortoisesvn for windows ?
[07:42] <xtknight> lynucs, kernel docs
[07:42] <lynucs> VXWorks, yes it works just nice
[07:42] <xtknight> linxeh, isn't there a tortoise for nix
[07:42] <buddy> tommy12796, go to application menu, then to acessories, and open terminal... type there >> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:42] <lynucs> xtknight, thx
[07:42] <buddy> slippyr4, ok, man.. thanks
[07:42] <VXWorks> thanks
[07:42] <usbdisk> Livia: does the live CD have an install option or should I use the install disk?
[07:42] <linxeh> xtknight: maybe :) I'll have a look - was wondering about a standard ubuntu package if possible
[07:42] <keyes> hello
[07:42] <bulmer> xtknight: check this command  pmount for disallowing auto mount of usb
[07:42] <VXWorks> and about E17 ?
[07:43] <xtknight> linxeh, na nm dont think so
[07:43] <keyes> will ubuntu be selected for the google SOC thos year ?
[07:43] <JoeBlacken> Hi, I have Aureal Vortex 2 sound card, how can I configure it to play midi?
[07:43] <slippyr4> linxeh, rapidsvn
[07:43] <lynucs> VXWorks, there is no e17 yet.. the "e17" you mean is e16 :D
[07:43] <xtknight> bulmer, cool thx dude
[07:43] <Livia> usbdisk: Download either ubuntu edgy or dapper, burn the ISO to a cd, and then throw it in the bad PC.
[07:43] <Livia> usbdisk: click install, and select manually edit partitions
[07:43] <VXWorks> lynucs: ah, ok! how can I install E16 ?
[07:43] <tommy12796> buddy, permission to pm you?
[07:43] <Livia> Usbdisk: that will ERASE the partitions, but then you should be able to reinstall windows.
[07:44] <linxeh> slippyr4: great, thanks
[07:44] <buddy> tommy12796> buddy, permission to pm you? <<< yup man..
[07:44] <buddy> oops..
[07:44] <buddy> sorry
[07:44] <buddy> sorry for the quote
[07:44] <buddy> lol
[07:44] <xtknight> bulmer, so what's in ubuntu by default?  i didndt have pmount package installed.
[07:44] <xtknight> bulmer, or is pmount just the manager for what ubuntu has already...thouht there was some other "automuont" script somewhere or something
[07:44] <usbdisk> Livia: I get the idea, thanks but surely I can use one of my existing CDs, either the install 5.10 or live 5.10?

[07:45] <lynucs> VXWorks, or #e.de if youre german
[07:45] <lynucs> VXWorks, the best way is installing over CVS with the easy_e17.sh script from morlenxus
[07:46] <xtknight> bulmer, 'autofs' kernel module proly

[07:46] <hendaus> nekr0z,  i am making it

[07:47] <nekr0z> hendaus: when you're done, do: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[07:47] <arooni> is there a *good* ftp client?  (GUI)
[07:47] <Askar> I have installed necessary plugins to see quicktime and I see them in totem but the sound is gone.. why?
[07:47] <hendaus> nekr0z,  ok i am waiting
[07:47] <CapriCoRN^80> its my softmodem
[07:47] <CapriCoRN^80> but i cannot activate my dial up
[07:47] <nekr0z> Meta|Mind: you need to install knetworkmanager for KDE
[07:47] <Meta|Mind> i use gftp arooni
[07:48] <usbdisk> slippyr4: I wanted to fix windows - a chkdisk or fixmbr should do it but I can't access any of the tools without a crash so now I've given up and decided I want to remove the windows OS partition and reinstall
[07:48] <Meta|Mind> nekr0z i thought that might be it but i cant find the package
[07:48] <slippyr4> usbdisk: and you have linux on the disk too?
[07:48] <Livia> CapriCoRN^80: What OS? 	
[07:48] <slippyr4> usbdisk, which you want to keep?
[07:48] <halitech_ns_test> usbdisk, do you have access to a floppy drive?
[07:48] <usbdisk> slippyr4: no I'm on a live CD
[07:49] <arooni> Meta|Mind I cant get gftp to connect
[07:49] <nekr0z> Meta|Mind: The name is "knetworkmanager". Are you sure you have universe repositories enabled?
[07:49] <slippyr4> usbdisk: is there *anything* you want to keep on there?
[07:49] <lynucs> VXWorks, http://omicron.homeip.net/projects/
[07:49] <Meta|Mind> yea i found it sorry it wasnt seeing it in the default package manager
[07:49] <nekr0z> hendaus: how fast is your connection?
[07:49] <Meta|Mind> found it though terminal
[07:49] <usbdisk> usbdisk: I want to keep the whole OS and programs but I can reinstall I guess
[07:49] <lynucs> VXWorks, just be aware you have all libs installed and other stuff..
[07:50] <hendaus> nekr0z,  300
[07:50] <slippyr4> usbdisk: by "the whole os" you mean windows? or linux?
[07:50] <usbdisk> windows! I'm on a live CD!
[07:50] <VXWorks> lynucs: ok, thanks
[07:50] <usbdisk> linux not installed!
[07:50] <tiredbones> Is sbackup the same as afbackup-client? The doc on the ubuntu site said to use sbackup.
[07:50] <hendaus> nekr0z,  now i am here --> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[07:50] <CaptainMorgan> how do I unpack a .bin?
[07:50] <arooni> Meta|Mind um so what do i do ?
[07:50] <nekr0z> hendaus: dist-upgrade will take time then
[07:50] <slippyr4> usbdisk: ok. you have a really easy solution if you're prepared to wipe the disk
[07:51] <nekr0z> hendaus: then you will have to: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop python-qt3 python-kde3 ubuntu-minimal
[07:51] <usbdisk> slippyr4: thanks, someone already said how to do that
[07:51] <bulmer> CaptainMorgan: is it a binary or just an executable file with name *.bin ?
[07:51] <nekr0z> hendaus: and then reboot and pray
[07:51] <slippyr4> usbdisk, otherwise, i'd be investigating what is the STOP error you're getting when you try to boot windows/ windows cd. The blue screen will show an 8 digit hex error number, what is that number
[07:51] <buddy> tommy12796,  are u there?
[07:51] <v3xtra> Heh, okay, so I accidentally set my time to Unix time I believe, and now my panels die after restarting multiple times, how do I change it back?
[07:51] <CaptainMorgan> I have netbeans 5.5, and it's a .bin... I tried to place it on the command line with no luck
[07:51] <arooni> are there any other good ftp clients?
[07:51] <paul__> i just installed ubunto 6.10 how do i find Gparted?
[07:51] <arooni> with gui interfaces
[07:51] <nekr0z> hendaus: (this is just in case I'm no longer here by that time)
[07:52] <usbdisk> slippyr4: thanks I'll investigate it
[07:52] <Tonren> paul__: "sudo aptitude install gparted"
[07:52] <masterkong> hiya
[07:52] <bulmer> CaptainMorgan: thats a java file for linux? where did you dowloaded that from?
[07:52] <halitech_ns_test> usbdisk, if you think fixing the mbr will work and you have a floppy drive, download the boot floppies from bootdisk.com and that will get you to a command line
[07:52] <masterkong> i need help installing 6.06 on a computer with no cd
[07:52] <CapriCoRN^80> hi i got Ambient Technologies inc Ham plus Date Fax Modem (rev 0.) modem when i run lspci command
[07:52] <CapriCoRN^80> its my softmodem
[07:52] <CapriCoRN^80> but i cannot activate my dial up
[07:52] <slippyr4> usbdisk: tell me that error number
[07:52] <hendaus> nekr0z, :) ok brb,..
[07:52] <CaptainMorgan> bulmer, from the netbeans site
[07:52] <xtknight> how do i monitor every file being accessed.  i want to be Big Brother, actually just debugging what the heck my usb automount goes by when it puts the entry into mtab
[07:52] <tommy12796> where can i find my video card's bus identifier?
[07:52] <garryFre> Hiya folks. .. How do I run linux under windows? I just can't get it to work.
[07:53] <garryFre> hehe, just kiddng
[07:53] <xtknight> garryFre, virtual machine/virtualization
[07:53] <paul__> thanks!
[07:53] <bulmer> CaptainMorgan: is it executable? you know how to check yes?
[07:53] <Livia> CapriCoRN^80: What OS?
[07:53] <CaptainMorgan> it's not exec
[07:53] <xtknight> garryFre, screw you!  you made me answer seriouslydadsf!
[07:53] <computermc> does anyone know why some files that I deleted like a week ago would keep coming back after deleting them?
[07:53] <v3xtra> I set my time to UNIX time accidentally, and now my panels disappear after they have restarted multiple times.  How do I change it back?
[07:53] <garryFre> It was a good answer tho. :)
[07:54] <CaptainMorgan> ah.. I had to make it exec..
[07:54] <CaptainMorgan> thanks
[07:54] <PanzerMKZ> what about cygwin?
[07:54] <jon_> whats the command to delete an entire director including everything inside ?
[07:54] <computermc> jon_: rm -dr
[07:54] <shatrat> computermc, what are the files, maybe they are being recreated
[07:54] <jon_> computermc, thanks
[07:54] <lwylie> anybody have a problem with Evolution becoming unsynced with the OS time after the daylight savings switch?
[07:55] <computermc> shatrat: things like pdfs
[07:55] <tommy12796> where can i find my video card's bus identifier?
[07:55] <tiredbones> Can someone point me to some docs on backing up data to a cd and then restoring it on another ubuntu system?
[07:55] <computermc> shatrat: I even renamed them, before deleting them
[07:55] <shatrat> computermc, are there ~ backups still existing?
[07:55] <halitech_ns_test> tommy lspci
[07:55] <computermc> shatrat: no
[07:56] <v3xtra> I set my time to UNIX time accidentally, and now my panels disappear after they have restarted multiple times.  How do I change it back?
[07:56] <tommy12796> halitech, i'm in the middle of reconfiguring my xserver-xorg thing and i'm a noob at linux, could you walk me through that lspci thing
[07:56] <shatrat> computermc, I would empty the trash and look for hidden files.
[07:56] <bulmer> tiredbones: you dont back up directly to a cd, you back up to a hard disk then burn the image of it to cd
[07:56] <usbdisk> http://ask.metafilter.com/48767/The-blue-screen-of-death-is-alive-and-well describes the error exactly
[07:56] <slippyr4> tommy12796, sudo lspci -vv
[07:56] <halitech_ns_test> thanks slippery
[07:56] <computermc> shatrat: I will try that
[07:57] <graphikz`> how do I change my home directory through terminal??
[07:57] <nekr0z> graphikz`: cd
[07:57] <Ind[y] > Hello. How do I make "sudo" to prompt for the root password?
[07:57] <slippyr4> usbdisk, you certain that it's stop 0x00000024 ?
[07:57] <graphikz`> nekr0z : That changes just directory, not the default home directory for my user
[07:57] <godofredo07> soundray, its me again
[07:57] <nekr0z> graphikz`: hey, what do you mean by "change home dir"?
[07:57] <bulmer> graphikz`: if you meant your  userhome dir..  you need to edit /etc/passwd
[07:58] <computermc> shatrat: there no hidden files in there
[07:58] <tommy12796> thanks, i got the video card information but which part of it would indicate the bus identifier
[07:58] <tiredbones> bulmer, do you know where some docs is to explain the process?
[07:58] <shatrat> graphikz`, you could make a shortcut for a terminal that opened up elsewhere
[07:58] <usbdisk> slippyr4: no but that describes the problem. I'll check and then try this fix if it is: http://www.retosphere.de/tipsandtricks/ntfserror.php?menu_id=24&
[07:58] <graphikz`> What is the terminal line to edit that through terminal, I am doing it through a shell
[07:58] <shatrat> graphikz`, but your $HOME will likely cause some problems if  you change it
[07:58] <bulmer> tiredbones: umm google? i look for "backup to cdrom"
[07:58] <halitech_ns_test> tommy, you should see something like this 0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] 
[07:58] <garryFre> Hmm, I looked up about evolution and had the misfortune of finding out that a bunch of articles about the evolution of daylight saving's time. Kinda made a nasty heap of trash to wade through as they were quoted 100 times
[07:58] <linxeh> graphikz`: nano, emacs, vim, jake, etc
[07:58] <graphikz`> shatrat : I am trying to change it back
[07:58] <shatrat> computermc, what if you ctrl + h in nautilus, maybe a backup that was autocreated by some program there?
[07:58] <godofredo07> if i have a partition called hda3 what would i add into the menu.lst
[07:58] <slippyr4> usbdisk, did you have some bad ram then?
[07:58] <godofredo07> ??
[07:58] <graphikz`> I changed it, and now it is causing problems
[07:59] <halitech_ns_test> tommy, it would be the the info after the first :
[07:59] <v3xtra> I set my time to UNIX time accidentally, and now my panels disappear after they have restarted multiple times.  How do I change it back?
[07:59] <usbdisk> slippyr4: I don't know. I was assuming it was the motherboard causing these corruption problems but it might be ram.
[07:59] <godofredo07> if i have a partition called hda3 what would i add into the menu.lst?
[07:59] <linxeh> v3xtra: that doesnt sound like a time problem
[07:59] <tommy12796> halitech, do you mind if i pm you?
[07:59] <slippyr4> !patience | godofredo07
[07:59] <halitech_ns_test> tommy, go ahead
[08:00] <computermc> shatrat: what you I look for when I ctrl + h?
[08:00] <graphikz`> Could someone help me out in PM?
[08:00] <ubotu> godofredo07: The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[08:00] <godofredo07> slippyr4, sorry
[08:00] <godofredo07> !add
[08:00] <v3xtra> Well it happened right after I did that.
[08:00] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[08:00] <slippyr4> godofredo07, how many physical hard disks do you have?
[08:00] <v3xtra> So, I wouldn't think it would be anything other than that.
[08:00] <usbdisk> can I access ntfsfix with ubuntu?
[08:00] <godofredo07> slippyr4, 1
[08:00] <godofredo07> slippyr4, i just partitioned it
[08:00] <slippyr4> godofredo07,  then it's hd0,2
[08:00] <gostone> has anyone had any success getting winr to work with edgy eft5?
[08:00] <shatrat> computermc, Im not sure, something hidden with the file name of one of the reappearing files in it.
[08:01] <godofredo07> slippyr4, okay almost done..
[08:01] <arooni> ok i need a good gui based html editor?  ideas?
[08:01] <computermc> shatrat: ok, then theres nothing like that in there
[08:01] <linxeh> v3xtra: why would panels (I assume you mean gnome panels) care about the time ?
[08:01] <garryFre> I see quanta plus in the repositories for Ubuntu
[08:01] <milos> quanta rulezz
[08:01] <graphikz`> How do I edit a file through a shell?
[08:02] <garryFre> Its a wysiwyg htiml thingie
[08:02] <shatrat> graphikz`, with nano for example
[08:02] <v3xtra> All I know is that I changed from 12 hour to Unix time by accident, and now gnome-panels will open repeatedly while shutting down.
[08:02] <computermc> shatrat: its not a big deal, I might go post in the ubuntu forums
[08:02] <arooni> garryFre: um so sudo apt-get install quantaplus
[08:02] <v3xtra> The time+date applet in the actual panel needs the time format, and that's probably what's screwing it up.
[08:02] <linxeh> v3xtra: at the worst you can log out, ctrl-alt-f1 to get to a terminal, login, and delete all the .gnome* directories
[08:03] <linxeh> v3xtra: you'll lose your settings for gnome, but it should fix things I guess
[08:03] <cheesebo1> how do i mount my pendrive?
[08:03] <v3xtra> and how do I delete all .gnome entries?
[08:03] <garryFre> arooni That mgiht work, I usually use the gui pakage manager tho
[08:03] <LadyNikon> it should just work cheesebo1
[08:03] <Witwolf> Hi, is there a specific channel for Ubuntu Server?
[08:03] <godofredo07> slippyr4, is this correct then ? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9883/
[08:03] <PanzerMKZ> for the questions of server then ask them here
[08:03] <phaedral> I'm torn between the idea of trying ubuntu and sticking with debian-testing for my new dual boot laptop; looking for an advocate to sway my decision making...
[08:03] <cheesebo1> LadyNikon, says unable to excute pmount
[08:04] <computermc> Witwolf: I don
[08:04] <computermc> I don't think so
[08:04] <computermc> sorry keyboard problem!
[08:04] <Witwolf> OK, thanks
[08:04] <garryFre> Debian testing whould change a lot I woudl think you might run into issues as laptops are where compatibility problems would show up first.
[08:04] <Livia> arooni:  There's a good one availible as a wiget for the Opera browser.  http://widgets.opera.com/widget/4687
[08:04] <Askar> Is anyone here sucessful in playing .mov files?
[08:04] <bulmer> cheesebo1: the user must be a member of group plugdev
[08:05] <Witwolf> Ubuntu uses postfix instead of sendmail for its mail transport?
[08:05] <phaedral> garryFre: thx, that's a pretty good issue
[08:05] <graphikz`> and the default home directory is $HOME?
[08:05] <PanzerMKZ> can't you change to sendmail
[08:05] <cheesebo1> bulmer, ho do imake it one?
[08:05] <godofredo07> slippyr4, did that link work?
[08:05] <graphikz`> /home
[08:05] <cheesebo1> how*
[08:05] <garryFre> phaedral welcome
[08:05] <bulmer> cheesebo1: you add the user to that group
[08:06] <cheesebo1> bulmer, how do i do that?
[08:06] <ompaul> Witwolf, yes, however if you want that other thing you can install it
[08:06] <Witwolf> No I am just checking. I am redoing our server and I want to change from SUSE to Debian/Ubuntu
[08:06] <LadyNikon> cheesebo1: weird
[08:06] <computermc> Is it faster to run a VM that you created using vmware-server in the vmware-player?
[08:06] <tommy12796> halitech, did you get my pm?
[08:06] <PanzerMKZ> well on my box here I don't think you get either one
[08:06] <PanzerMKZ> you have to apt-get what you want
[08:06] <godofredo07> can someone tell me if i edited menu.lst correctly?
[08:07] <Witwolf> I think postfix is a bit easier to maintain and get running than sendmail. What do you think?
[08:07] <tiredbones> when baking up data file do they have to have the suffix .iso if they are being store on a cd?
[08:07] <PanzerMKZ> I use neither
[08:07] <bulmer> tiredbones: nope
[08:07] <halitech_ns_test> tommy, got it but it doesn't seem to be sending my reply, forgot I haven't registered lately
[08:07] <ompaul> Witwolf, you need universe for sendmail, and postfix is almost human readable so yes it is easier unless you have multiples of 10k users
[08:07] <graphikz`> Okay, now what do I set as the home dir?
[08:07] <ompaul> Witwolf, at which point other considerations slip in
[08:07] <slippyr4> godofredo07, sorry, just checking now
[08:08] <godofredo07> slippyr4, k
[08:08] <bulmer> graphikz`: what are you really attempting to do?
[08:08] <Witwolf> Hit me.
[08:08] <tommy12796> ah, can you send it over the chatroom?
[08:08] <slippyr4> godofredo07, those lines you're editing are commented out
[08:08] <slippyr4> godofredo07, edit the ones *without* the # sign at the start
[08:08] <graphikz`> change my home directory to it's default
[08:08] <Witwolf> What do you suggest?
[08:08] <halitech_ns_test> tommy, host bridge is normally somethign with your motherboard, do you know what video card you have?
[08:08] <ompaul> Witwolf, postfix
[08:09] <Witwolf> Thats what I am using now.
[08:09] <tommy12796> halitech, ATI RADEON Xpress 200
[08:09] <bulmer> graphikz`: what happened? what did you change?
[08:09] <milos> hello
[08:09] <godofredo07> slippyr4, commented out?
[08:09] <graphikz`> I changed the home dir to /, then I realized after I restarted it was a bad idea
[08:09] <Witwolf> I think security wise there is less that can go wrong as well.
[08:09] <milos> I need usplash themes
[08:09] <slippyr4> godofredo07, they're just notes if you like. the # at the start tells grub to ignore them.
[08:10] <tiredbones> bulmer, I back up some file on my son 's laptop and then tried to read them on my system. My system tells me that the cd is blank. If I go back to my son laptop it see the file on the cd. can yoy explain?
[08:10] <godofredo07> slippyr4, could you edit it on pastebin?
[08:10] <bulmer> graphikz`: do you have a root account? because changing it with as a user may screw things up
[08:10] <halitech_ns_test> tommy, you should have something saying "0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc"
[08:10] <slippyr4> godofredo07, no. pastbin your whole menu.lst
[08:10] <graphikz`> i fixed it
[08:10] <graphikz`> :D
[08:10] <graphikz`> it was /home/<username/
[08:11] <bulmer> tiredbones umm how did you burn it? what os is in your system, your sons system?
[08:11] <tommy12796> halitech, PCI:1:5:0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 5a61
[08:11] <bulmer> graphikz`: its fixed, congrats
[08:11] <graphikz`> And I got my ftp to work how I want, so I'm good
[08:11] <graphikz`> THanks guys
[08:12] <godofredo07> slippyr4, there http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9887/
[08:12] <rkirmizi> hi all how can i input my sudo password into the raw? for example i wanna add an alias on my .bashrc when i type "whatsup" it will take it "sudo apt-get update" with the sudo password
[08:12] <halitech_ns_test> tommy, okay, so it would be 01:05:00
[08:12] <tommy12796> ok, thanks halitech
[08:13] <shatrat> tommy12796, you shouldnt even need to put the pci address down in the xorg.conf, i just leave that blank.  If youre having trouble getting that chipset to work the only way I got it going was using this how-to, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=321766&highlight=200m
[08:13] <amethyst> back
[08:13] <tiredbones> bulmer, My son has dapper and I have edge(?). I used the file browser.
[08:13] <slippyr4> godofredo07, ok, sec
[08:13] <bulmer> rkirmizi: i dont believe you can get around prompting without password unless sudo has the option for passwd? i dont know the options for sudo
[08:13] <v3xtra> I set my time to UNIX time accidentally, and now my panels disappear after they have restarted multiple times.  How do I change it back?
[08:13] <Witwolf> OK, I have another question. Can anyone direct me in the right direction. I want to use LDAP for network wide authentication. That part I figured out, but how do I store the home folder on a server to access it from anywhere and have your settings loaded, where ever you log on?
[08:14] <jamison> Can anyone tell me how to veiw what space on the hard drive is being used by what files
[08:14] <godofredo07> slippyr4, k
[08:14] <bulmer> tiredbones: okay, what options did you use to burn the cdrom?
[08:14] <jamison> i got something taking up allot of space and want to find what it is
[08:14] <alitrix> Witwolf: I think u need to make a domain for that and let the users login on that domain
[08:14] <jrib> jamison: use baobab
[08:15] <alitrix> with batch scripts u can make a driver on there HD
[08:15] <alitrix> which becomes there home dir
[08:15] <bulmer> Witwolf: LDAP is using a database yes? its not just a file(well maybe if its mysql) so you cant just move those files around
[08:15] <alitrix> (and u can even make there My Documents and directorys like that to be stored on the server as well)
[08:15] <LaNCeloT_RW> what is the name of win-32 codecs to play WMV and other proprietary files?
[08:15] <garryFre> Wow the channel on mono is a dead thread
[08:15] <bulmer> Witwolf: umm i mis-read you..what do you want again?
[08:15] <Witwolf> yes its a database
[08:15] <tiredbones> bulmer, i did not use any option. I created a folder and copied  my some home directory to it.
[08:15] <rkirmizi> i ll do a little bash program when i type "whatsup" it ll look up the updates if there is an update it ll type "i m busy go around and come later". if there isnt update it ll call "i m cool man dont care about me!.. everything is fine :)"
[08:15] <LaNCeloT_RW> !win-32
[08:15] <godofredo07> slippyr4, is it that bad?! :)

[08:16] <codecaine> anybody know where I can get sshdump and bkhive for ubuntu?
[08:17] <slippyr4> godofredo07, backup your existing menu.lst and replace it with my edit on your pastebin. you should thus be good to go
[08:17] <bulmer> tiredbones: its reading it as a blank? correct and same permissions? user in one system does not translate to same user on another
[08:17] <godofredo07> slippyr4, now then..i will install windoze
[08:17] <CaptainMorgan> Im trying add the extra packs for netbeans.. I put JDK and netbeans both within /opt  and when I try to run the installer for the extra packs is says JDK not found... I double checked /opt and it's installed.. what gives?
[08:17] <garryFre> LaNCeloT_RW welcome
[08:17] <slippyr4> godofredo07, installing windows will screw up your grub installation and make linux unbootable.
[08:17] <godofredo07> slippyr4, it says its read-only!
[08:17] <Witwolf> Has anyone tried to do that on linux before
[08:18] <LaNCeloT_RW> garryFre, Package w32codecs is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[08:18] <LaNCeloT_RW> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[08:18] <LaNCeloT_RW> is only available from another source
[08:18] <LaNCeloT_RW> E: Package w32codecs has no installation candidate
[08:18] <slippyr4> godofredo07, what says it's readonly?
[08:18] <bulmer> Witwolf: dont you have to have the client side of it configure to acquire those drive mappings and resources? those are not as easy as you think to do.
[08:18] <tiredbones> bulmer, the user thing could be my problem. How to solve that?
[08:18] <godofredo07> slippyr4, i thought that was what we were trying to accomplish...oh um the menu.lst
[08:18] <Witwolf> I think you might be able to have /home mounted from the network with all the home folders.
[08:18] <codecaine> u can always reinstall grub when you install windows though
[08:18] <tommy12796> halitech, what should i put for this "Select the X.Org server modules that should be loaded by default."
[08:19] <bulmer> CaptainMorgan: try to run java -version and it will tell you which java you're using..it may not be what you thought you have
[08:19] <rogue780> how can I make dd use stdin for "if"?
[08:19] <godofredo07> slippyr4, um...what was the pastebin url?
[08:19] <Halitech> tommy, just select the defaults
[08:19] <slippyr4> godofredo07, it's totally recoverable, don't worry. but you'll need a linux livecd to recover.
[08:19] <bulmer> Witwolf: thats NFS..am not sure how NFS and LDAP integrate yet
[08:19] <slippyr4> godofredo07, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9888/
[08:19] <garryFre> LaNCeloT_RW hmmm do you have multiverse or universe enalbed?
[08:20] <godofredo07> slippyr4, i'm going to dual-boot so i can play games...
[08:20] <Witwolf> I have tried the LDAP configuration with a Mac OS X Server and that worked but now I want to find out if it is not possible to get the home folder hosted on a central server which all the clients can get access to.

[08:20] <godofredo07> slippyr4, i should be fine right?
[08:20] <garryFre> There ye go
[08:20] <lxuser> my hard drive is freaking out
[08:20] <bulmer> tiredbones: during burning, there are options to allow new "reader" of such cd to not worry about permissions
[08:20] <garryFre> restricted formats
[08:20] <godofredo07> slippyr4, i've done this before just i had windows already installed before i installed ubuntu
[08:20] <slippyr4> godofredo07, i have to go now. install windows and you won't be able to boot linux, but boot from your livecd and come back here and someone will help you fix grub
[08:21] <bulmer> Witwolf: you're referring to Terminal Services?
[08:21] <slippyr4> godofredo07, yes it's better that way. ubuntu respects an existing windows install, windows does not respect an existing linux install.
[08:21] <Witwolf> That could work as well
[08:21] <LaNCeloT_RW> guys, why my java is so slow? when I open Phex or LimeWire... the screen becomes grey ... =/
[08:21] <slippyr4> godofredo07, as i said, install windows, boot livecd , come back here and ask for help reinstalling grub
[08:21] <shatrat> LaNCeloT_RW, are you using beryl?
[08:22] <tiredbones> bulmer,  Let me do some more reading. Something this common should not be so trying!
[08:22] <LaNCeloT_RW> shatrat, yes
[08:22] <ubuntuUSSR> download "super boot fixer" to fix grub
[08:22] <Witwolf> Have anyone tried Xubuntu?
[08:22] <godofredo07> slippyr4, are you 100% sure it will jack up my system?
[08:22] <lxuser> I was seeing a carpet in other driver and then, too many resource been consume, cpu, mem and the temp of my drive go up to 45 !
[08:22] <Halitech> LaNCelot how much ram do you have?
[08:22] <lxuser> I have been used ubuntu for 5 months
[08:22] <godofredo07> slippyr4, a tutorial online said its okay
[08:22] <godofredo07> slippyr4, its windows 98
[08:22] <shatrat> LaNCeloT_RW, java applications that use Swing for their gui are bugged.  There is a workaround for it but I dont remember what it is.
[08:22] <slippyr4> godofredo07, it wont jack it up. just windows replace grub with it's own bootloader
[08:22] <Halitech> WitWolf, I have it running on my server, works great
[08:22] <lxuser> never happened someting like that before
[08:22] <coolguy> Why does oss work sometimes but not all the time
[08:22] <Paddy_EIRE> how would I stop beagle from running in the background
[08:22] <slippyr4> godofredo07, and you'll need then to replace window's bootloader with grub
[08:22] <madsrh> need help REinstalling conky! Didn't have universe repo enabled and now nothing happens. I followed this guide: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205865
[08:23] <LaNCeloT_RW> shatrat, oh I see.. =/
[08:23] <ubuntuUSSR> whats wrong with java swing? I was planning on using it soon?
[08:23] <godofredo07> slippyr4, what is the eta?
[08:23] <bulmer> tiredbones look into joliet format so it can also be read in windows
[08:23] <LaNCeloT_RW> thats bad
[08:23] <slippyr4> eta?
[08:23] <godofredo07> slippyr4, i would have to hop on irc from a different computer right?
[08:23] <tiredbones> bulmer,  thanks for your help.
[08:23] <slippyr4> godofredo07, or from livecd
[08:23] <shatrat> ubuntuUSSR, well from what Ive read it explicitly checks for "metacity" so if you use beryl or compiz all you see is grey
[08:23] <Witwolf> Halitech: What speed os that computer?
[08:23] <lxuser> left the computer working for 10 minutes and didnt stop
[08:23] <bulmer> tiredbone np..
[08:23] <Halitech> Witwolf, P2 350 with 256 meg of ram
[08:23] <slippyr4> godofredo07, the ubuntu desktop cd has gaim on it which does irc
[08:24] <ubuntuUSSR> so the fix would be to turn off beryl I assume?
[08:24] <godofredo07> slippyr4, so would it be easy to fix?
[08:24] <slippyr4> godofredo07, very
[08:24] <godofredo07> slippyr4, should you just tell me now?
[08:24] <godofredo07> slippyr4, what would i ask?
[08:24] <godofredo07> slippyr4, i'm afraid :)
[08:24] <hannu> at the risk of proving how dumb i am... how do i retrieve a lost nickserv password?
[08:24] <bulmer> CaptainMorgan: have you figured out which java you have installed is active?
[08:24] <slippyr4> godofredo07, ask how to reinstall grub
[08:25] <madsrh> need help REinstalling conky! Didn't have universe repo enabled and now nothing happens. I followed this guide: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205865 Anyone???
[08:25] <godofredo07> slippyr4, i won't lose anything?
[08:25] <slippyr4> godofredo07, it's easy, many wil help you. i would tell you now but i have to go
[08:25] <shatrat> ubuntuUSSR, there is a workaround for it but I never really cared to remember it cause swing apps are ugly anyway
[08:25] <madsrh> or where should I post this question?
[08:25] <godofredo07> slippyr4,okay but i won't lose anything?
[08:25] <hendaus> nekr0z,  it still downloading packets
[08:25] <Witwolf> Could you use Xubutu as a terminal client?
[08:25] <slippyr4> godofredo07, nope. stop worrying, just be aware that linux won't boot until you get some help from someone here
[08:25] <Livia> Can you temporarily disable a device in ubuntu dapper?  How?  (sound card?)
[08:25] <slippyr4> godofredo07, i have to go now
[08:26] <godofredo07> slippyr4, k thx
[08:26] <jlist> hi all. is there anyone who is running web.py on ubuntu vm?
[08:26] <Vince_> Good Afternoon Everyone
[08:26] <_raphael_> is there a fast repo for the newest nvidia-driver that works?
[08:26] <slippyr4> godofredo07, good luck
[08:26] <godofredo07> slippyr4, i'll need it
[08:26] <bulmer> Witwolf: most linux can be used, its the client app that needs to be installed
[08:26] <CaptainMorgan> bulmer, yea, it's older... so Im using synaptic to install the newest
[08:26] <Witwolf> buimer: Where can I read up about this, do you use a bootp server?
[08:26] <roop> How can I make the oss driver work?
[08:27] <Vince_> Can somebody help me?  I'm trying to install either Edgy (if thats the current version) or Dapper.  Both are giving me "cannot mount CD-ROM" errors on the install CD.  I also tried the desktop CD which gives me the /bin/sh can't access tty; error.
[08:27] <bulmer> Witwolf: i have bootp before, but it is not on, just to try network install
[08:27] <godofredo07> slippyr4, can i rename the menu.lst to windows 98 instead of xp?
[08:27] <ubuntuUSSR> shatrat, whats popular with building GUIs these days then? I don't usually code GUIs
[08:27] <bulmer> Witwolf: read up on "linux terminal services"
[08:27] <shatrat> ubuntulog, GTK
[08:28] <Witwolf> Wil try wikipedia just now.
[08:29] <bulmer> Vince_: you can also try the alternate cd  :P
[08:29] <ubuntuUSSR> shatrat, cheers I'll look into it, not used java since my uni days
[08:29] <godofredo07> how do i save the menu.lst if it says read-only???????
[08:29] <Vince_> bulmer: I already did
[08:29] <ubuntuUSSR> open it as sudo
[08:29] <zafod77> Does anyone know the proper kernel option to get a MEGARAID scsi control working. someone told me now I can't remember it was pci=no"something"
[08:29] <Vince_> If I use either the Dapper install or the edgy Alternate I'm told it "cannot mount the CD ROM"
[08:29] <shatrat> zafod77, probably noacpi
[08:30] <godofredo07> ubuntuUSSR, sudo /boot/grub/menu.lst ?
[08:30] <Livia> VInce_: are you using the livecd?
[08:30] <IrN> Hi!
[08:30] <shatrat> godofredo07, sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
[08:30] <ubuntuUSSR> place a gedit in between sudo and your directory
[08:30] <Halitech> Vince, did you burn the iso at the lowest possible speed?
[08:30] <ubuntuUSSR> or whatever your favourite editor is
[08:30] <shatrat> and you shouldnt do sudo gedit, gksudo is safer with GUI applications
[08:30] <zafod77> shatrat: That's the 1 thanks
[08:30] <eNons3nse> can someone tell me where to put font files?
[08:30] <_ant_> safer?
[08:30] <Vince_> Livia: I tried that already.  If I use the Live CD it says "it can't access tty: and dumps me to busy box
[08:31] <Vince_> Yes I tried burning it at the lowest speed.  I've burned about 6 CD's and the MD5 sums check fine
[08:31] <shatrat> sudo with gui apps can break things, can break sudo
[08:31] <Livia> Does the livecd boot?
[08:31] <bulmer> Vince_: have you tested the cdrom yet to insure they are not corrupted?
[08:31] <_ant_> ive used sudo gedit for a long time... am i lucky?
[08:31] <Livia> Vince:  Try redownloading the iso from a different mirror?
[08:31] <zafod77> What is the name of the 32bit smp kernel?
[08:31] <Halitech> Vince, have you tried to boot a live cd on another machine? might have a bad cd rom
[08:31] <Vince_> Livia: Did that too
[08:31] <shatrat> _ant_, apparently
[08:32] <sacater> Vince_: when the CD boots up, choose to 'check CD for errors'
[08:32] <Vince_> sacter: Tells me it can't mount it agian
[08:32] <bulmer> Vince_: as a consolation, i have burned several cd's myself, it checks out okay on md5sum but some files in some subdirs are not checking out okay
[08:32] <sacater> Vince_: it may be you have a crappy CD burner, or your download was somehow corrupted
[08:32] <shatrat> _ant_, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo
[08:33] <Vince_> sacater: Not with a good MD5 sum
[08:33] <Vince_> and i've downloaded it 3 times from 3 seperate mirrors
[08:33] <Livia> Vince_: What kind of harddrive you using?
[08:33] <scheva> what is this
[08:33] <Livia> Sata, or atapi?
[08:33] <DeL3e7> what OS are u burning it from
[08:33] <gumpish_> THIS IS SPARTA!
[08:33] <Halitech> vince, will it boot on another computer?
[08:33] <scheva> no no no

[08:34] <Vince_> Yes
[08:34] <Vince_> I just reinstalled windows
[08:35] <Livia> Vince_: is the drive recognized in windows as the primary on the primary ide channel?
[08:35] <ubuntuUSSR> thanks for the link shatrat, it would make sense come to think of it

[08:35] <CaptainMorgan> bulmer, this is starting to tick me off.. I just supposedly installed the latest JDK through synaptic and the extra pack .bin's are not find the JDK/JVM
[08:36] <PriceChild> CaptainMorgan, did you update-alternatives?
[08:36] <bulmer> CaptainMorgan: thats why i asked you which java you think you have?
[08:36] <Livia> Vince_: How much free space do you have?
[08:36] <Vince_> Plenty

[08:36] <RiVeTeR> Anyone able to help me with wifi?
[08:36] <CaptainMorgan> update-alts ?
[08:36] <Vince_> I already set the paritions up for Ubuntu
[08:36] <PriceChild> CaptainMorgan, its detailed on wiki.ubuntu.com/Java
[08:36] <Halitech> Botamis, sounds like your video card isn't configured correctly
[08:36] <breezystill> how do I restore an application I used ctrl+Z on?
[08:36] <Vince_> But isn't this out of the way The OS shouln't have any interaction with the HD at this point
[08:36] <PriceChild> CaptainMorgan, you have to select the new java as default
[08:36] <emet> what does kill -9 do
[08:36] <Botamis2> Halitech: what's the command to configure it.
[08:37] <gumpish_> kills things
[08:37] <PriceChild> emet, kills a process

[08:38] <bulmer> RiVeTeR: what you got? what you have done? you have your own AP?
[08:38] <Vince_> Ok  Maybe we can hit this another way
[08:39] <godofredo07> okay, i made a partition for windows and now, i have to install it. Windows wants to find unallocated disk space and also wants to format drive c...what is going on here?
[08:39] <Botamis2> Halitech: ok once I'm done what do I do?
[08:39] <simmerz> I have a dapper install on a server, is there any way to get php 5.2 on there from a deb in a later distribution?
[08:39] <Botamis2> startx?
[08:39] <Halitech> Botamis2, try startx or rebooting
[08:39] <Botamis2> ok
[08:39] <Vince_> I also tried installing breezy.  I was going to upgrade from there.  It mounts and installs fine.  However when It gets to the point where I can setup the USER ID and PASSWORD it just keeps repeating that section
[08:39] <Livia> Vince_: So you setup the partition from..windows?  Who's the manufac of the cd drive?
[08:40] <Vince_> Livia: No I set up the partitions from another Ubuntu CD, Breezy to be exact.  I belive its a Sony CD Recordable
[08:41] <godofredo07> what is the windows installer talking about?
[08:41] <RiVeTeR> bulmer;  I'm new at this... what is my own AP?

[08:41] <lufis> Hello. This isn't exactly Ubuntu-related but there are so many helpful geeks here I hope you don't mind me asking anyway. I have a Sandisk Memory Stick Pro (ick, I know). When I try to format it in my camera (what I'm using it in) it says "Cannot format: card protected". The same happens when trying to write to it in Nautilus. The card has a "lock" slide button on it but it is off. It has "magic gate" technology... does that have

[08:41] <Halitech> Riveter, do you have a wireless router?
[08:42] <CaptainMorgan> bulmer, what do you mean 'as default' ?
[08:42] <CaptainMorgan> I don't anything like that on that page

[08:42] <jarek> hi! do somebody help me? i already install xgl and beryl on ati x1100 graphic and it still dont work. can you tell me why?

[08:43] <Halitech> Riveter, what kind of card/laptop?
[08:43] <Tonren> shatrat: I'm using XGL and Beryl because I'm on ATI and can't use AIGLX

[08:44] <TheCruisemaniac> I would need some help in installing beryl
[08:44] <Livia> Lufis:  Put the card back in the camera, go through the menu (or manual, or google the manual if you don't have it) see if there is a setting for locking the card from the camera ( a software setting)
[08:44] <godofredo07> can someone walk me through installing windows on a partition... :(
[08:44] <kuma> hi, i have a usb thumb drive mounted, but i can't umount it. It says that is busy, is there any way to list the processes running from the drive

[08:44] <TheCruisemaniac> can someone help me setup beryl properly???
[08:45] <lufis> Livia: I hope "magic gate" isn't some silly proprietary permissions thing, otherwise I just wasted money
[08:45] <jarek> TheCruisemaniac: you are not alone. i have the same problem
[08:45] <jarek> ati?
[08:45] <Halitech> Riveter, do this in a terminal lspci | grep Broadcom\ Corporation

[08:49] <godofredo07> shatrat, when i install windows it says format drive c...How do i know what partition its using?
[08:49] <profXavier> :P
[08:49] <kevor> not really ubunturelated, but can someone give the the US drivers license syntax?
[08:49] <Livia> Lufis: Did you check the camera for a soft lock setting?
[08:49] <kuma> hi, i have a usb thumb drive mounted, but i can't umount it. It says that is busy, is there any way to list the processes running from the drive
[08:49] <godofredo07> kent, i use ubuntu but i just want to play a game...I'm attempting to install windows but it keeps saying FORMATTING DRIVE C: and i'm not sure if i should click it in fear of it overwriting my Ubuntu partition...
[08:49] <Livia> Lufis: What camera you using>
[08:49] <chris2077> _ant_ did you say you used kismet earlier?
[08:49] <kevor> like N12346567
[08:49] <Godsey> kuma: lsof | grep /mnt
[08:49] <lufis> Livia: yeah, it doesn't have anything related. It does support memory stick though, I don't know why they wouldn't throw in the magic gate crap with it.
[08:49] <robbie_crash> That's what I figured, but I haven't changed it, and it won't let me do anything that requires root
[08:49] <HentaiSushi> whenever i try to boot my computer, GRUB has a random error and fails to load
[08:49] <kuma> Godsey: thx
[08:49] <lufis> Livia: minolta dimage
[08:49] <profXavier> how do I know if v4l is installed/is being used by a device (webcam) ?
[08:50] <robbie_crash> So is there a way to reset it?
[08:50] <dude_> i have a gremlin in my machine
[08:50] <profXavier> reinstall
[08:50] <Halitech> HentaiSushi, what number?
[08:50] <PriceChild> kevor, > #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:50] <HentaiSushi> ummm
[08:50] <HentaiSushi> crap
[08:50] <HentaiSushi> i think 86 or something
[08:50] <bulmer> robbie_crash: what happens when you do sudo su -
[08:50] <purpleplether> how to edit start up script
[08:50] <kuma> Godsey: it didn't show nothing
[08:50] <HentaiSushi> but it happens alot
[08:50] <Danltn> What tools can I use to partiton a USB Flash Disk?
[08:50] <TheCruisemaniac> can someone help me with beryl on dapper w/ nVidia Go 7300 card???
[08:50] <HentaiSushi> i have to reset and reset and reset and eventually it loads
[08:50] <dude_> i close vlm music and the music keeps playing
[08:50] <purpleplether> how do u edit start up script
[08:50] <robbie_crash> bulmer: asks for password, then tells me it's wrong
[08:51] <rogue780> is there a way to make dd ignore null bytes?
[08:51] <chris2077> _ant_: did you talk about kismet earlier?
[08:51] <TheCruisemaniac> beryl shows garbled display whenever i'm loading a new application...
[08:51] <preaction> robbie_crash: doing "sudo su -" is asking for Your password, not Root's password
[08:51] <eranmane> Is it safe to use Wubi?
[08:51] <TheCruisemaniac> GUI slows down
[08:51] <Halitech> hentaisushi, would be better if we knew for sure, different codes mean different problems
[08:51] <HentaiSushi> alright ill restart right now then
[08:51] <HentaiSushi> brb
[08:51] <HentaiSushi> hopefully, if it ever loads
[08:51] <Black^Dragon> question, what program would I need to connect an ubuntu box to a windows network through a linksys router???
[08:51] <HentaiSushi> :x
[08:51] <Godsey> TheCruisemaniac: then you don't have a 3d card setup correctly
[08:51] <Livia> lufis: does your camera have a usb cable?
[08:51] <robbie_crash> preaction: same password
[08:52] <bulmer> robbie_crash: you can recover maybe, by booting via liveCD and then modify the correct files accordingly
[08:52] <profXavier> Black^Dragon: use samba
[08:52] <lufis> Livia: yes
[08:52] <rogue780> robbie_crash, if youi want to enable your root account type "sudo passwd root" once you set the password, root or "su" will owrk
[08:52] <TheCruisemaniac> Godsey: I do have the nVidia drivers setup properly, the nVidia splash screen showsup during boot
[08:52] <Halitech> Black dragon, do you want to share files/folders or just use the internet connection?
[08:52] <Black^Dragon> samba profXavier?? I can get that through synaptic??
[08:52] <TheCruisemaniac> Godsey:  I'm also a linux noob... so if u could also help me with the problem... it'd be gr8!!!
[08:52] <kuma> Godsey: it worked with lsof | grep /media thanks :)
[08:52] <Livia> lufis: you could try putting the mem stick in the camera, hooking up the camera to the pc via usb, and viewing the files that way.  delete any you find and then try reformatting?
[08:52] <profXavier> u probably alrady have it
[08:52] <HentaiSushi> error 16
[08:52] <preaction> robbie_crash: unfortunately, passwords don't just magically change. somebody changed it
[08:52] <profXavier> give a google
[08:52] <chris2077> is there an aircrack deb package people? i cant find one. is there an alternative if not?
[08:53] <Godsey> kuma: sorry, I forget the novice level sometimes :P
[08:53] <HentaiSushi> Halitech, it was 16
[08:53] <nekr0z> hendaus: I told you, that's a long story.
[08:53] <profXavier> how do I know if v4l is installed/is being used by a device (webcam) ?
[08:53] <lufis> Livia: I tried that, it won't let me write to it
[08:53] <jrib> !info aircrack-ng | chris2077
[08:53] <ubotu> chris2077: aircrack-ng: Wireless WEP/WPA cracking utilities. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6-1ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 160 kB, installed size 460 kB
[08:53] <Black^Dragon> ok thank you profXavier

[08:53] <nekr0z> _ant_: Hello there!
[08:53] <Godsey> TheCruisemaniac: I'm not sure, I don't use X sorry
[08:53] <RiVeTeR> anyone else using Lenovo 3000 v100 with ubuntu?????
[08:53] <Livia> Lufis: can the camera read or write it?
[08:53] <profXavier> if you need a hand setting it up, ask away
[08:53] <lufis> Livia: nope
[08:53] <Godsey> well, not since acceleratex was all the rage
[08:53] <nekr0z> _ant_: I have finally solved that camera thing.
[08:53] <robbie_crash> preaction: I'm aware that they don't randomly change, but files get corrupted and I've not changed any passwords aside from my ftp logon password in the last week
[08:53] <TheCruisemaniac> Can anyone help me setup beryl properly, nvidia Go card on Dapper
[08:53] <Orfeous> how can i specify swedish character in NFS mount in /etc/fstab?
[08:54] <Orfeous> what options
[08:54] <profXavier> TheCruisemaniac: try #Beryl
[08:54] <hendaus> nekr0z,  i am waiting :)
[08:54] <Black^Dragon> I'll try the google angle first profXavier, then after that I just might,, thank you again
[08:54] <lufis> Livia: it recognizes there is a card, but says "card is protected" whenever i try writing to it
[08:54] <profXavier> np
[08:54] <chris2077> jrib, ubotu: thanks
[08:54] <Godsey> robbie_crash: what do you mean, your ftp password?
[08:54] <TheCruisemaniac> Xavier: do u want me to run beryl on the terminal prompt???
[08:54] <HentaiSushi> does anyone know how to make GRUB ERROR 16 go away?

[08:55] <chris2077> what is ubuntu breezy? never heard of before
[08:55] <lufis> Livia: and when trying to write to it in linux, it says "Read-only filesystem"
[08:55] <PriceChild> !breezy | chris2077
[08:55] <ubotu> chris2077: breezy is the third release of Ubuntu. Version 5.10, codename "Breezy Badger".  Upgrading to !dapper : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DapperUpgrades
[08:55] <profXavier> each releae has its own name chris
[08:55] <lufis> Livia: I'm gonna try mounting it as rw, one sec
[08:55] <robbie_crash> Godsey: yeah...?
[08:55] <Godsey> robbie_crash: tell me, what's the difference between your shell and ftp authentication?
[08:56] <robbie_crash> Godsey: now that I think of it, nothing
[08:56] <figarogdl> hi..i just installed ubuntu in spanish...but now i want to change it to english...how can i do?
[08:56] <Godsey> robbie_crash: maybe try your working ftp password w/ ssh :)
[08:56] <robbie_crash> thanks
[08:56] <chris2077> will a dapper deb package work on edgy?
[08:57] <nekr0z> chris2077: it may, or may not
[08:57] <godofredo07> i have tried to install windows and it acts like everything is going smooth but it never asks me for a partition...it is acting like it is just going to install....should i be worried?
[08:57] <nekr0z> chris2077: you gotta try and see
[08:57] <godofredo07> i don't want to overwrite my beloved ubuntu install
[08:57] <chris2077> nekr0z: theres a glimmer of hope then
[08:57] <Godsey> godofredo07: if you want windows and ubuntu then you may have to re-do grub
[08:57] <Godsey> as windows generally toasts mbr
[08:57] <Danltn> What tools can I use to partiton a USB Flash Disk?
[08:57] <lmveloso> figarogdl, in the GDM Login, press F10 and choose the session language.
[08:57] <Olivia> yo yo
[08:58] <profXavier> godofredo07: usually ppl load win first, then linux
[08:58] <profXavier> are you dual booting?
[08:58] <figarogdl> thanks Imveloso
[08:58] <Olivia> can any one see this
[08:58] <lmveloso> np
[08:58] <Danltn> Olivia, Yes.
[08:58] <PriceChild> Danltn, why do you want to?
[08:58] <Olivia> boo
[08:58] <nekr0z> Olivia: sure
[08:58] <godofredo07> Godsey, i understand that...i just don't want to overwrite linux during the windows install because it never asks for a partition...shoudn't it ask for one
[08:58] <Danltn> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[08:58] <Danltn> Nekr0z, that.
[08:58] <HentaiSushi> ok Halitech, i think i sort of get it, but i have no WINXP CD
[08:59] <Godsey> godofredo07: of course if windows toasts ubuntu, it's because microsoft knows best and you can stick linux where the sun don't shine :P
[08:59] <HentaiSushi> is there no alternative?
[08:59] <Olivia> so whats this alll about i jus pressed a wrong button lol
[08:59] <AlexC_> Hey,
[08:59] <Halitech> Hentaisushi, okay, then Houston, we have a problem
[08:59] <AlexC_> Something weird has happened to some folders of mine, they have suddenly changed permission and I am no longer the owner. I havn't done anything at all. In Nautilus they have a little Lock icon on them ... how can this be?
[08:59] <HentaiSushi> TT__TT

[08:59] <milos> kurva

[09:00] <nightrid3r> matkix0s: sudo init 3
[09:00] <aZu> :/
[09:00] <aZu> it's not working
[09:00] <godofredo07> Godsey, thats what i'm worried about... : (
[09:00] <Halitech> Hentaisushi, you could try downloading a boot floppy from bootdisk.com and using it in place of your windows cd
[09:00] <aZu> can anyone help me?
[09:00] <nekr0z> aZu: tried network-manager?
[09:00] <matkix0s> Init 3 just f**** things up on boot, x still starts...
[09:00] <Olivia>  where is everyy one from
[09:01] <HentaiSushi> you mean the Windows boot floopy that you can make yourself?
[09:01] <HentaiSushi> or a different one?
[09:01] <wolferine> aZu, what router?
[09:01] <AlexC_> Olivia: this is a support channel, not a dating agency.
[09:01] <bulmer> matkix0s: go to init level one, ie single user
[09:01] <aZu> nekr0z: i'm using wpa_supplicant
[09:01] <Halitech> Hantaisushi, either one should work although this is windows we're talking about :D
[09:01] <milos> Olivia: hi baby :)
[09:01] <aZu> wolferine: i think i have a linksys wrt54g
[09:01] <HentaiSushi> whats that supposed to eman D:
[09:01] <HentaiSushi> mean*
[09:01] <wolferine> ok, did you setup WPA on the router?
[09:01] <nekr0z> aZu: that's ok, but what do you use to set up the wifi itself?
[09:01] <matkix0s> Should I edit the inittab to 1?
[09:01] <HentaiSushi> ok so what do i type in the boot floppy prompt?
[09:02] <atomiku> can i restart X without logging out then in again?
[09:02] <aZu> wolferine:yes
[09:02] <Olivia> what is this?
[09:02] <AlexC_> atomiku: nope,
[09:02] <wolferine> ok, then get a key off it
[09:02] <Halitech> henatisushi, turn your head sideways to the right and look at it
[09:02] <wolferine> and use it in your connection to get on your LAN
[09:02] <bulmer> atomiku no
[09:02] <atomiku> oh
[09:02] <atomiku> Hmm
[09:02] <aZu> nekr0s: i was on the ubuntu forums and there was a guide
[09:02] <AaronMT> Anyone know where can I find the Tango-Human (Ubuntu detfault) icons available for download?
[09:02] <nekr0z> aZu: and make sure you have allowed SSID broadcast
[09:02] <wolferine> i usually rewrite one of the keys, since they can be long
[09:02] <aZu> i can connect to my router i believe
[09:02] <HentaiSushi> Helitech: wth?
[09:02] <atomiku> I started some stuff like: python blahblah.py >&/dev/null &  then exited out of the terminal
[09:02] <AlexC_> AaronMT: gnome-look.org
[09:03] <HentaiSushi> er
[09:03] <HentaiSushi> Halitech*
[09:03] <atomiku> when I logout from X the python things should still be up yes?
[09:03] <Halitech> hentaisushio fixmbr
[09:03] <wolferine> aZu at 192.168.2.1
[09:03] <aZu> but i'm not able to get on the internet
[09:03] <HentaiSushi> oh
[09:03] <HentaiSushi> thats it
[09:03] <HentaiSushi> ?
[09:03] <wolferine> or 192.168.1.1
[09:03] <bulmer> matkix0s: no need to edit inittab, just issue command to go to init level 1
[09:03] <robbie_crash> Well that didn't work, so after booting with a live cd, what files do I have to change to reset my root and user passwords?
[09:03] <nekr0z> aZu: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[09:03] <HentaiSushi> thank you Halitech ill try that right now
[09:03] <aZu> 6.10
[09:03] <robbie_crash> or is it going to be a billion times easier to reinstall from scratch?
[09:03] <HentaiSushi> if it fails guess i wont be back for a while ;o
[09:03] <godofredo07> does anyone know what the startup config file is called in ubuntu
[09:03] <AlexC_> godofredo07: rc.conf ?
[09:04] <godofredo07> AlexC_, where is that located?
[09:04] <aZu> nekr0z: 6.10
[09:04] <RiVeTeR> anyone using a lenovo 3000 with ubuntu????????
[09:04] <bulmer> robbie_crash: nah,, /etc/passwd  /etc/shadow  i think thats it
[09:04] <RiVeTeR> anyone using a lenovo 3000 with ubuntu????????
[09:04] <nekr0z> aZu: but if you can at least ping (or even connect) the router, this means your wpa is working
[09:04] <AlexC_> godofredo07: no idea, do "locate rc.conf"
[09:04] <RiVeTeR> anyone using a lenovo 3000 with ubuntu????????
[09:04] <milos> :) rc.conf in ubuntu?
[09:04] <eNons3nse> let's say i want to unzip and whole bunch of files in a directory into the same directory with one terminal command
[09:04] <aZu> nekr0z: what's the address i should ping?
[09:04] <AlexC_> milos: I thought Ubuntu had one?
[09:04] <godofredo07> AlexC_ , nothing
[09:05] <milos> maybe gentoo
[09:05] <eNons3nse> what should i do?
[09:05] <bulmer> eNons3nse: go ahead
[09:05] <eNons3nse> haha
[09:05] <godofredo07> i'm pretty sure its something else
[09:05] <robbie_crash> bulmer. thanks
[09:05] <nekr0z> aZu: you'd better know what address your router is on... Mine is 192.168.0.1

[09:06] <wolferine> scroll up
[09:06] <RiverRat> AlexC_: I don't recall saying that.
[09:06] <nekr0z> aZu: Try installing network-manager-gnome and using it instead of manually configuring wpa-supplicant.

[09:08] <RiVeTeR> OK  good answer
[09:08] <ThePlaneskeeper> my monitor allows*
[09:08] <PriceChild> AlexC_, not the answer... but you need to learn about the magic sysrq key ;)
[09:08] <eNons3nse> all .zip.  i tried unzip *.zip and it didn't work.
[09:08] <AlexC_> PriceChild: what does that do? I've always wondered about that key!
[09:08] <ThePlaneskeeper> i am looking at the above posted link currently to determine if it is of any help, thankyou, i may be back =)
[09:08] <RiverRat> AlexC_: Check that /etc/passwd didn't get hosed.
[09:08] <eNons3nse> only if i do them one at a time does unzip work like that
[09:09] <bulmer> eNons3nse: do you have a java jdk? you can use jar to unzip
[09:09] <alikilaij> ThePlaneskeeper are you adjusting your hsync and vsync in xorg.conf?
[09:09] <POVaddct> eNons3nse: unzip \*.zip
[09:09] <RiVeTeR> will any version of linux boot and find my broadcom wifi?
[09:09] <bulmer> eNons3nse: btw, can you prefix your responses with a nick so we dont miss it
[09:09] <jrib> adrian_: join me in #ubuntu-classroom
[09:10] <GMWeezel> How can I have an application run at a designated time on a scheduled basis?
[09:10] <AlexC_> RiverRat: the file seems fine,
[09:10] <Blissex> RiVeTeR: some have the builtin 3945 driver *and* the firmware, but not that easy.
[09:10] <alikilaij> No one here with mythweb experience?
[09:10] <Blissex> GMWeezel: 'man cron'
[09:10] <AlexC_> alikilaij: #mythtv
[09:10] <PriceChild> AlexC_, http://club.mandriva.com/xwiki/bin/view/KB/MagicSysRqKey
[09:10] <alikilaij> No one there
[09:10] <milos> 3945 is for broadcom
[09:10] <AlexC_> alikilaij: this is Ubuntu support, not MythTV support.
[09:10] <RiverRat> AlexC_: Then unmount it and do a fsck on it.  Or touch /forcefsck and reboot.
[09:10] <Blissex> RiVeTeR: they are sort of proprietary, so major distros cannot put then in.
[09:10] <milos> ipw3945
[09:10] <POVaddct> milos: no, 3945 is intel
[09:10] <milos> hmm sure?
[09:10] <eNons3nse> bulmer: sorry
[09:11] <POVaddct> milos: yes
[09:11] <eNons3nse> POVaddct: thanks, that worked.
[09:11] <RiVeTeR> Blissex; I like ubuntu but I can't get my wifi working... its a pain on the net on one laptop trying to fix the net on the second
[09:11] <ernz> Hi, can someone please be kind enough to give me an fstab line to automount the partition /dev/hdb1 ?
[09:11] <Blissex> RiverRat: there are ''unofficial'' repositories with the right packages...
[09:12] <milos> POVaddct: oh yes sorry
[09:12] <RiverRat> RiVeTeR: Want to trade nicks?  I seem to get a lot of your highlights.  :p
[09:12] <EnsignRedshirt> How can I check if my computer does a network time sync at boot?
[09:12] <EnsignRedshirt> Something in /etc/init.d?
[09:12] <AlexC_> RiverRat: I can't unmount it, the device is busy.
[09:12] <bulmer> RiVeTeR: i asked earlier, i missed the answers..
[09:12] <RiverRat> AlexC_: Yeah, that's why I gave the second alternative of rebooting after creating /forcefsck
[09:12] <AlexC_> PriceChild: could be fun to remember the combination though!
[09:12] <Blissex> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1071920&mode=linear
[09:13] <bulmer> EnsignRedshirt: you can grep the whole /etc/ini.d  for ntp ?
[09:13] <Blissex> RiVeTeR: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1071920&mode=linear
[09:13] <AlexC_> RiverRat: what will creating a directory do?
[09:13] <ernz> Anyone, please?
[09:13] <POVaddct> eNons3nse: unzip is one of the rare commands that can expand wildcards itself, normally the shell should do this, but since unzip does not handle multiple archive names, the shell wildcard expansion of *.zip must be avoided by prepending a "\"
[09:13] <AlexC_> !anyone | ernz
[09:13] <ubotu> ernz: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[09:13] <RiverRat> AlexC_: It is a file in the root directory and it forces the system to check all the drives completely on the next reboot.
[09:13] <AlexC_> RiverRat: cool, ok I'll do that now
[09:14] <chris2077> small problem here - with beryl skydome, i cant get an image to be the background, it just merges with the colors i selected. i have made both color gradients transparent, but to no avail. what am i doing wrong?
[09:14] <RiVeTeR> blissex:  thank you, I will try that!
[09:14] <PriceChild> AlexC_, r..... silly elephants is utterly boring (can't remember what the r is)
[09:14] <milos> Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG :)
[09:14] <nekr0z> chris2077: You'd better ask things like this in #beryl
[09:14] <ernz> AlexC_ : Already asked my question. I know someone here knows the answer. You probably know. What's your reckoning? Automounting ext through fstab?
[09:15] <chris2077> nekr0z: good call
[09:16] <Wooksta> PriceChild, how do i stop gdm from starting again? :) (doing it on another machine now)
[09:17] <Jowi> ernz, depends on what type of disk you have. /dev/hdb1       /media/usb-drive vfat defaults,user,auto 0 0
[09:17] <PriceChild> Wooksta, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[09:17] <EnsignRedshirt> bulmer: Grepping for [^u] ntp in /etc/init.d find hwclock.sh and hwclockfirst.sh, and these just have a comment about ntp.
[09:17] <Jowi> ernz, that make the drive mount at boot time.
[09:17] <_Freedom0_> hello
[09:17] <Wooksta> PriceChild, well that prevent it form coming up at every boot (i thought i had to do -f remove gdm or something along those lines)
[09:17] <_Freedom0_> i need to download the Linux headers 2.6.10 for my Ubuntu 6.10 edgy,please theres someone who could help me?
[09:17] <figarogdl> i'm running diskmounter script in order to get acess to my NTFS partition...it's asking me if i want to use NTFS FUSE module...would you recommend to use it?
[09:17] <Jowi> ernz, replace vfat with ext3 if you got that type of partition.
[09:18] <bulmer> EnsignRedshirt: okay..so maybe you need to uncomment the comands within it?
[09:18] <ernz> Jowi: Point well made. ext3 partition, mount point is /media/hdb1 and device is /dev/hdb1
[09:18] <PriceChild> Wooksta, ah... removing it from /etc/init.d/ I "think"... if your machine borks i take no responsibility :)
[09:18] <nekr0z> ernz: /etc/fstab has nothing to do with automounting, it only mounts things at boottime.
[09:18] <EnsignRedshirt> bulmer: I'm not trying to change anything.  I just want to find out *if* the computer is doing a network time sync when it boots.
[09:18] <Jowi> ernz, so: /dev/hdb1 /media/hdb1 ext3 defaults,user,auto 0 0
[09:18] <arooni> what is a really good html editor
[09:19] <rada> hi, can I install .deb using Synaptic?
[09:19] <_Freedom0_> i need to download the Linux headers 2.6.10 for my Ubuntu 6.10 edgy,please theres someone who could help me?
[09:19] <ernz> nekr0z:....Does it do it automatically????.....!
[09:19] <Halitech> arooni, have you tried Nvu?
[09:19] <aorthr33> what is the default group for a user to participate in ?  I changed mine to 'audio' while trying to fix a sound problem, and now I can't do anything sudo
[09:19] <gareth2> hi
[09:19] <omegacenti> Any guides as to what a symlink is?
[09:19] <omegacenti> !symlink
[09:19] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[09:19] <EnsignRedshirt> bulmer: ... and "maybe uncomment..." sounds like potentially bad advice when talking about files in /etc.
[09:19] <bulmer> EnsignRedshirt: that I dont know, what does those two scripts you mentioned do? maybe its part of that process?
[09:19] <ernz> Jowi - Perfik. Thanks for your unbiased, no-crap attitude towards assisting me. Much appreciated
[09:19] <milos> arooni: quantaplus
[09:19] <nekr0z> ernz: Do what? Mount at boot -- yes. Mount at plug -- no,
[09:19] <gareth2> i installed ubuntu on a secondary hdd, if i format that hdd, will be pc still boot?
[09:20] <godofredo07> can i play games through vmware?
[09:20] <bulmer> EnsignRedshirt: thats because i thought you want to enable some commented commands on those files
[09:20] <Jowi> ernz, as nekr0z said. fstab only for boot time or to make default mount-points. if you want automount when a usb disk or device is plugged in you will need other solution.
[09:20] <Jowi> ernz, you're welcome
[09:20] <arooni> milos: i cant find that pckage
[09:20] <ernz> nekr0z: Who said anything about plugging? And if it was a pluggable media, it would most likely come under sd*, no?
[09:20] <EnsignRedshirt> bulmer: OK, but I never said that :)
[09:20] <rapid> godofredo07, probably better off with wine or cedega
[09:20] <matkix0s> So where can you edit your video settings from?
[09:20] <godofredo07> rapid, americas army starts but is really laggy :(
[09:20] <milos> arooni: quanta+ ?
[09:20] <godofredo07> rapid, same with silk road
[09:20] <bulmer> EnsignRedshirt: okay, well you know what you want..  :)
[09:20] <EnsignRedshirt> Does anyone know how I can check if my computer is doing a network time sync when it boots?
[09:20] <rapid> godofredo07, under vmware?
[09:20] <godofredo07> rapid, no wine
[09:20] <Olivia> where is every one at?
[09:21] <Crazytom> My ubuntu install takes way too long to boot up can someone help me?
[09:21] <rapid> godofredo07, use windows, or try cedega
[09:21] <nekr0z> ernz: YOU said "automounting", which at all times meant plug-and-play-mounting. Learn to ask correct questions and don't blame Jowi for your own mistakes.
[09:21] <matkix0s> I just installed my video drivers... Now where can I change my video settings?
[09:21] <godofredo07> rapid, cedega = not free right?
[09:21] <wick2o> hello

[09:21] <ubotu> wick2o: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[09:21] <Wooksta> PriceChild, "update-rc.d -f remove gdm" could that be it?
[09:21] <omegacenti> godofredo07: 55USD for uear as of right now.
[09:21] <wick2o> I've made a "remaster", well pretting much just a preseeded custom ubuntu install cd....but i seem to be having problems with the mkisofs...it keeps assuming UTF-8 and "Using LINUX_HEADERS_2_6_15_26_SER000.;1 for ;opt/cd-image/pool/main/l/linux-source-2.6.15/linux-headers-2.6.15-26-server-bigiron_2.5.15-26.46_i386.deb
[09:21] <wick2o> could someone lend a hand?
[09:21] <PriceChild> Wooksta, I haven't a clue sorry :)
[09:21] <J-_> Has anyone been successful at installing drivers for the nvidia 128bit TNT2 graphics card, or is it even possible?
[09:21] <godofredo07> rapid, i can't add windows right now..
[09:21] <Wooksta> np
[09:22] <PriceChild> wick2o, ask and see :)
[09:22] <godofredo07> rapid, only before you install ubuntu
[09:22] <godofredo07> rapid, (tear)
[09:22] <slick> PriceChild I figured out my copying problem from before, windows didn't like copying a few of the files because the names were too long :)
[09:22] <rada> hi, can I install .deb using Synaptic?
[09:22] <rapid> godofredo07, why can't you "add" it nowq
[09:22] <Wooksta> how do i stop x starting up each time? is it "update-rc.d -f remove gdm"?
[09:22] <PriceChild> slick, hehe :) Well done :)
[09:22] <spike> hi there
[09:22] <spike> what's involved in fonts name?
[09:22] <spike> on my old dapper system I could say xterm -fn terminus
[09:22] <PriceChild> Wooksta, You might as well try it and see.... but the -f flag makes it dodgy imo... but what do i know :)
[09:23] <wick2o> ive been following the https:?/help.ubuntu.com/community/installCDCustomization
[09:23] <DesertEagle> hello people
[09:23] <larson9999> i'm reliving beneath a steel sky and can't seem to move fast enough to get the wrench.  :)
[09:23] <nekr0z> ernz: For your issue, something like "/dev/smth  /media/smth  ext3  defaults  0  2" can do.
[09:23] <godofredo07> rapid, well, i created a partition and when i go to install windows it never asks for a specific partition and is like INSTALL NOW and format drive c
[09:23] <matkix0s> Can anyone lend a hand on graphics card install, (nvidia)
[09:23] <spike> on the new one I have to specify -*-terminus-...
[09:23] <godofredo07> rapid, and i don't want to lose ubuntu :(
[09:23] <milos> matkix0s: apt-det install nv-driver
[09:23] <DesertEagle> does anyone know why xmms posts a Segmentation Fault when i launch it from a menu but not when i call it from command line?
[09:23] <figarogdl> what do i need to play mp3...Totem say it needs a plugin or something
[09:23] <rapid> godofredo07, windows won't let you choose where to install?
[09:23] <Halitech> rapa - no, you can do this though sudo dpkg -i package_file.deb
[09:23] <nekr0z> ernz: If it doesn't, you need to put "UUID=smth" (udev ID) instead of "/dev/smth"
[09:23] <godofredo07> rapid, never asks :(
[09:24] <godofredo07> rapid, just says format drive c
[09:24] <Halitech> rada sorry
[09:24] <rapid> what a piece of crap
[09:24] <PriceChild> !mp3 > figarogdl
[09:24] <rada> Halitech: ?
[09:24] <godofredo07> rapid, yeah..
[09:24] <ernz> Jowi: As you are able to read and understand plain, non-ambiguous English sentences: That fstab line worked just as I needed - cheers. nekr0z: Thanks for your help too - you got the right end of the stick in the end.
[09:24] <slick> Google earth will only run in OpenGL and it suggests updating drivers, ubutu is recognising my geforce fx 5200 and seems to have drivers installed already, is this a problem with the drivers or google earth?
[09:24] <Halitech> no, you can do this though sudo dpkg -i package_file.deb
[09:24] <PriceChild> !nvidia | slick
[09:24] <rapid> slick, type glxinfo | grep render
[09:24] <ubotu> slick: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:24] <figarogdl> PriceChild, what?
[09:24] <godofredo07> rapid, can i use the americas army linux install even if it is old?
[09:24] <PriceChild> slick, You will have the open source "nv" drivers by default which don't give acceleration
[09:24] <DesertEagle> why does xmms post a Segmentation Fault when i launch it from a menu but not when i call it from command line?
[09:25] <godofredo07> rapid, and no longer supported..
[09:25] <PriceChild> figarogdl, see the pm from ubotu
, that didn't work
[09:25] <slick> cheers guys
[09:25] <rapid> godofredo07, no idea.
[09:25] <rada> Halitech: hm, I thought that doing using Synaptic would be better way
[09:25] <godofredo07> rapid, any other good games for ubuntu besides wolfenstein and true combat?
[09:25] <Crazytom> My ubuntu install takes way too long to boot up can someone help me?
[09:25] <Jowi> ernz, no probs.
[09:25] <PriceChild> godofredo07, quake4?
[09:26] <nekr0z> Jowi: He's gone already.
[09:26] <Halitech> rada using synaptic is the better way to install things but you can't download a deb file and install it
[09:26] <PriceChild> godofredo07, ut2004 ? neverwinter nights?
[09:26] <matkix0s> So to stop xserver use run leval one?
[09:26] <dxdt> godofredo07, quake4 doom III, wow works with WINE and stuff.
[09:26] <Halitech> crazytom what version and what do you have for hardware?
[09:26] <godofredo07> PriceChild, any ww2 mods for quake?
[09:26] <rapid> my god, WOW
[09:26] <PriceChild> matkix0s, "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" will stop it
[09:26] <rada> Halitech: I have the deb file already on my hdd. I am talking about skype...
[09:27] <Olivia>  hellooooooo

[09:27] <PriceChild> !hi | Olivia
[09:27] <ubotu> Olivia: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[09:27] <Crazytom> i have a p4 2.66 ghz fujitsu laptop using 6.10
[09:27] <Halitech> rada have you checked to see if skype is listed in synaptic?
[09:27] <godofredo07> PriceChild, is neverwinter nights online?
[09:27] <aild> 
[09:27] <rada> Halitech: yes, I did
[09:27] <PriceChild> godofredo07, it has a huge online thing yes :) But also huge sp
[09:28] <Jowi> !skype
[09:28] <ubotu> To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto
[09:28] <dxdt> Skype is easy to install you can literally double click the .deb and the Gdebi installer will install it for you graphically
[09:28] <atomiku> what was that port forward command?
[09:28] <Halitech> rada do you have the multiverse and universe enabled?
[09:28] <Pelo> anyone know how to go about setting up a printer using the command line ,  in cups ? for backup restor purposes
[09:28] <dxdt> there is one in the repos too, but that's not the newest Skype
[09:28] <rada> Halitech: I got enabled everything except cd
[09:29] <neighborlee> anyone know what was reasoning behind removing new gnome menu in hurd ? ( asked in -devel but no reply as yet and can't find anything atm on forum )
[09:29] <godofredo07> PriceChild, Quake4...Any good mods like WW2?
[09:29] <Halitech> rada from what dxdt says, just double click the file or right click iopen with gdebi or use the command I posted earlier in the terminal
[09:29] <dxdt> yeah either works
[09:30] <Crazytom> Halitech, 2.66 ghz p4 with 6.10
[09:30] <Priest-of-Psi> wtf gaim is go unstable
[09:30] <dxdt> Thats actually how I installed skype, double clicking the file from their site because I didn't wnat the one in the repos that was just slightly older--it had a bug that was bad with my machine.
[09:30] <godofredo07> all i really want to do is get Silk Road and America's Army Working :(
[09:30] <Satan666> hi folks
[09:30] <rada> dxdt: how come I didn't find it in repository?
[09:30] <godofredo07> PriceChild, how would i install that stuff?
[09:30] <nekr0z> !hi | Satan666
[09:30] <ubotu> Satan666: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[09:30] <Crazytom> My ubuntu install takes way too long to boot up can someone help me?
[09:31] <PriceChild> godofredo07, pay for it :)
[09:31] <thechitowncubs> Hey, whats the package that outputs server graphs to a website?
[09:31] <rapid> thechitowncubs, nagios
[09:31] <Satan666> i've got a problem, todays update killed my ubuntu, i'm an total newbie with linux and now i think i need an older kernel or older drivers so ubuntu can recognize my wlan card, where can i get those things?
[09:31] <Jowi> rada, skype is not in the repos.
[09:31] <godofredo07> Any good Free* games for linux? besides Enemy Territory and True combat?
[09:31] <earthen> Crazytom, could be your network interface
[09:31] <Jowi> !info skype
[09:31] <ubotu> Package skype does not exist in edgy, edgy-backports, edgy-seveas
[09:32] <Halitech> crazytom, does it seem to stick on anythign for a long time or give any erros?
[09:32] <Doctordoog> just to make sure before I go offline and get stuck: I should be able to mount and copy files from an NTFS formatted hard drive without having to install anything for linux to recognize the file system, right?
[09:32] <Crazytom> i can't even get an interactive startup
[09:32] <rada> ok, thak you
[09:32] <nekr0z> Jowi: Skype IS in Canonical Commercial repos.
[09:32] <Crazytom> Halitech, it doesn't say anything but starting up
[09:32] <matkix0s> How can I install kernal devel?
[09:33] <thechitowncubs> rapid, thank you
[09:33] <atomiku> what was that port forward command?
[09:33] <mytruehero> I'm having trouble burning an audio CD with Serpentine. When I try to burn, it says "Converting files failed - Writing to disc didn't start so it is still usable." Any ideas? Is there a better program I can use for burning CDs?
[09:33] <Halitech> thechitowncubs, there is also webalizer if you want web stats
[09:33] <Jowi> nekr0z, what is "commercial repos"?
[09:33] <slacker_nl> mytruehero: I like k3b
[09:33] <matkix0s> Question: How would I install kernal devel?
[09:34] <Halitech> crazytom, not sure then. do you get any errors once it boots?
[09:34] <Crazytom> Halitech, how do i get it to tell me what's going on?
[09:34] <Crazytom> Halitech, no
[09:34] <thechitowncubs> Isn't there another one that displays png images of server load for various processes?
[09:34] <robbie_crash> So, I've booted into a live ccd and am now trying to edit /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow but don't know what I need to do to reset the password for root and for me
[09:34] <thechitowncubs> I can't remember the name of it
[09:34] <thechitowncubs> ahh
[09:34] <bulmer> matkix0s: visit uclinux.com or blackfin.com
[09:34] <rapid> robbie_crash, you don't use root.
[09:34] <earthen> how do i restart the usb interface
[09:35] <Botamis> Hi, I can't use the nvidia driver.
[09:35] <robbie_crash> rapid yeah, but when my installed password for root won't work, I need to reset it so that I can do anything
[09:35] <Crazytom> robbie_crash, system, administration users and groups then change root's password
[09:35] <tommy> how can i install a program on ubuntu? i downloaded the winrar for linux from the website but i dont know how to install it
[09:35] <Botamis> I have no idea why.  The NV driver does work but it doesn't allow for 3d modeling and I can't run beryl with it. I need to use the Nvidia driver
[09:36] <rapid> tommy: normally using your package manager. if its a rar, uncompress it with "unrar" then proceed from there
[09:36] <Crazytom> Halitech, how do i get it to tell me what's going on during bootup?
[09:36] <robbie_crash> crazytom from the live cd I can't see my installed users
[09:36] <Jowi> tommy, rar/unrar is available from the repos.
[09:36] <Linux_Junkie> robbie_crash: just mount the partitions and chroot in and change the password.
[09:36] <Jowi> !rar
[09:36] <ubotu> 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
[09:37] <Halitech> crazytom, I'm not sure, I think there is an option in grub but don't know for sure which one
[09:37] <Satan666> Can anybody help me? My Ubuntu doesn't recognize my Wireless Lan card since the last update, before the update i didn't need anything like ndiswraper or so
[09:37] <robbie_crash> Linux_Junkie: I don't know what you mean
[09:37] <nekr0z> Jowi: deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu edgy-commercial main
[09:37] <tj239> botamis, can you get it at nvidia.com?  they have a driver for linux systems
[09:37] <robbie_crash> the partition is mounted, and I can open /etc/passwd
[09:37] <zoli2k> Hi, I built a ubuntu based usb distro and I have a problem, that the system is not able to reboot or halt. Can anybody help me?

[09:37] <ubotu> unrar-free: Unarchiver for .rar files. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:0.0.1+cvs20060609-1 (edgy), package size 17 kB, installed size 80 kB
[09:37] <Crazytom> how do i get it to tell me what's going on during bootup?
[09:37] <Wooksta> PriceChild, I found what i was looking for "update-rc.d -f gdm remove", worked a treat :) although form what i've ready im not sure if i will need to do it again if the daemon gets an update
[09:38] <Botamis> tj239: I have no idea, I usually pick it from "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:38] <sbn> I think the graphical installer hung itself
[09:38] <matkix0s> Okay... I need to install krenal-devel what command would I use to do this?
[09:38] <PriceChild> Wooksta, we'll see :)
[09:38] <nekr0z> Jowi: but I mistaked anyway. it was not in those repos. There's another repo for skype.
[09:38] <robbie_crash> and should be able to open /etc/shadow but it keeps saying that it doesn't know how to open it
[09:38] <sbn> It's at configurating apt
[09:38] <Wooksta> how can i see if there has been a problem mounting my drive during boot (as part of fstab)
[09:38] <paul__> i mounted by fat32 partition - how do i make it an icon on the desktop in 6.10?
[09:38] <sbn> it's already there for more then 20mins
[09:38] <nekr0z> Jowi: deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free
[09:38] <slacker_nl> tommy: I have a 'rar' package installed - works like a charm (no gui)
[09:38] <Jowi> nekr0z, yeah. opera and realplay are there. haven't seen that repo before. thanks for pointing it out.
[09:39] <bulmer> robbie_crash: you may have to use sudo  i forget what user one is in liveCD
[09:39] <dxdt> paul__, once it is mounted into a folder you just need a shortcut to that folder is all.  Do that like you would with windows or however you want
[09:39] <nekr0z> rada: You can get skype from skype's own repositories.
[09:39] <amorphous_> which file should I set session variables in? is protocol to use bashrc or bashprofile?
[09:39] <Jowi> nekr0z, I thought skype was only available from skype.com. was surprised it had been added to a ubuntu repo. glad to see it's still only available from there. :)
[09:39] <Linux_Junkie> robbie_crash: then just type passwd and change it then type exit
[09:39] <sbn> I think the graphical installer hung itself. It's at configurating apt. It's stainding there already for 20mins
[09:39] <zoli2k>  Hi, I built a ubuntu based usb distro and I have a problem, that the system is not able to reboot or halt. Can anybody help me? How Can I debug my problem?
[09:40] <rada> nekr0z: yes, I am trying that ... thanx
[09:40] <matkix0s> Can someone please help me install nvidia drivers
[09:40] <slacker_nl> amorphous_: your bash_profile will source your bashrc
[09:40] <nekr0z> Jowi: But that's a repo anyway. Though unofficial for ubuntu (and official for skype)! ;-)
[09:40] <slacker_nl> amorphous_: so put it in your bashrc file :)
[09:40] <mytruehero> slacker_nl: k3b keeps giving me strange errors, as well :(
[09:40] <NEaBPlayerGarth_> o.O Now it works...
[09:41] <inono> can you cast a pthread_t to a pid_t ?
[09:41] <sbn> I think the graphical installer hung itself. It's at configurating apt. It's stainding there already for 20mins
[09:41] <slacker_nl> mytruehero: ok.. what are you doing?
[09:41] <amorphous_> slacker_nl, thanks :)
[09:41] <Jowi> nekr0z, it's 3rd party and not connected to canonical. I rest my case :)
[09:41] <slacker_nl> amorphous_: yw
[09:41] <sbn> Could this be because of that my network card isnt supported?
[09:41] <Lost_Soul> please help
[09:42] <Lost_Soul> my mic no work good
[09:42] <chris2077> hey noone is talking on the beryl room, so sorry but i would really like to know if  there is a miami vice beryl theme-is there?
[09:42] <Lost_Soul> i no can modify  capture
[09:42] <Lost_Soul> :S
[09:43] <mytruehero> slacker_nl: Just trying to burn some mp3s as an audio CD. When I run k3b with default settings, it says it's going to burn with "SAO writing at 8x speed" (not sure how fast my burner is, but it must be faster than 8x), then it says "error: probably a buffer underrun occured. please choose a lower burn speed." I manually
[09:43] <inono> how do you get process id for a thread
[09:43] <Lost_Soul> :(
[09:43] <Halitech> Lost_soul, can you burn data files?
[09:43] <nekr0z> Jowi: I rest your case too. Anyway, I was wrong initially.
[09:43] <Jowi> chris2077, very doubtful. you will need to create one of your own. have some fun with the emerald themer :)
[09:43] <mytruehero> manually set it to 32x, and I get other strange errors, saying that "using TAO burning usually resolves this issue." I manually set to TAO, and get more weird errors, saying to check the k3b FAQ
[09:44] <slacker_nl> mytruehero: and what if you burn at 1x?
[09:44] <Lost_Soul> Halitech, mmmm i no burn by linux, only windows
[09:44] <mytruehero> slacker_nl: let me try
[09:44] <slacker_nl> mytruehero: its asking you to lower the burn speed and you increase it...
[09:44] <PriceChild> mytruehero, burn at a slower speed.
[09:44] <slacker_nl> mytruehero: that's asking for problems
[09:44] <zafod77> Having problems with a PCI USB card StarTech PCI425USB anybody know why it's not seeing any devices attached to it? should be plug and play but maybe there's something I have to do first?
[09:44] <PriceChild> mytruehero, slower speed = less problems
[09:44] <Lost_Soul> Halitech, in windows i no have problem mic
[09:44] <robbie_crash> but which thing in psswd do I change? there's robbie:x:1000:1000:Robbie Crash,,,:/home/robbie:/bin/bash
[09:45] <sbn> I think the graphical installer hung itself. It's at configurating apt. It's stainding there already for 20mins
[09:45] <lisapc> how come my ubuntu can read my MS windows NTFS partitions ?  this surprised me
[09:45] <mytruehero> slacker_nl: I just tried burning at 1x, and it says "probably a buffer underrun occured. please choose a lower burning speed"
[09:45] <slacker_nl> robbie_crash: you want to change your own password?
[09:45] <mytruehero> PriceChild: ^^
[09:45] <aZu> you have samba
[09:45] <matkix0s> Can someone please help me!
[09:45] <Flannel> robbie_crash: what are you trying to do?
[09:45] <aZu> lisapc: you have samba
[09:45] <atomiku> what was that port forward command?
[09:45] <IndyGunFreak> lisapc: its a myster wrapped in a riddle
[09:45] <slacker_nl> robbie_crash: passwd ;) you don't have to edit your passwd file for that
[09:45] <Chesney> Ok folks. I was in here not to long ago asking about my Linksys WMP54G PCI card. I did an lspci on a live CD, it returned to me "RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI" The system recognizes two wireless interfaces, but doesnt seem to be able to discern any information from either of them. I'm pretty lost on what to do from her.
[09:45] <Chesney> here*
[09:45] <slacker_nl> amorphous_: iptables?
[09:45] <matkix0s> I need help installing nvidia drivers, and wish to setup my dual monitors
[09:45] <vox754> lisapc: that is actually good thing
[09:45] <Halitech> Lost_soul, sorry, looked at the wrong name, meant to ask mytruehero
[09:45] <PriceChild> mytruehero, "probably"
[09:46] <rada> could somebody suggest me nice IRC client where I can highlight messages for my nick?
[09:46] <robbie_crash> I want to change my and my root password. from a live cd because I can't do anything in my install and somehow it got all fubar'd so I can't there
[09:46] <amorphous_> slacker_nl, iptables...? not i.
[09:46] <slacker_nl> amorphous_: sorry I ment atomiku
[09:46] <Flannel> robbie_crash: Did you set a root password at all? (and have you lost it?)
[09:46] <amorphous_> slacker_nl, I need to store some ip addresses so i can ssh them easily
[09:46] <matkix0s> Please
[09:46] <jrib> rada: any decent client will do that:  xchat for gui, irssi for cli would be my suggestions
[09:46] <Lost_Soul> ok
[09:46] <POVaddct> rada: almost every irc client can do that
[09:46] <mytruehero> Halitech: haven't tried burning data. let me give that a try quick and see what happens
[09:47] <XxX[[CE] ] GaNgStA> I'm operating  2pac ScRipT 2007 [Version by XxX[[805] ] XxX] 
[09:47] <lisapc> aZu,  whats samba?
[09:47] <chris2077> Jowi: never realised how customizable beryl is, very impressed
[09:47] <amorphous_> slacker_nl, Ahh.. ok. np
[09:47] <tommy> does anyone know the package name for winrar
[09:47] <slacker_nl> tommy: rar ;)
[09:47] <PriceChild> !rar | tommy
[09:47] <ubotu> tommy: 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
[09:47] <atomiku> slacker_nl: yeah, iptables
[09:47] <vox754> Chesney: maybe you just need to configure the access point, WEP key, name of network and that's it. What have you tried?
[09:47] <_raphael_> how do I setup a webcam in ubuntu?
[09:47] <Halitech> mytruehero, okay
[09:47] <robbie_crash> Flannel: I never set an explicit one on my install, it always just used my main logon password
[09:47] <jlist> hi all, is there anyone who runs web.py on ubuntu?
[09:47] <slacker_nl> atomiku: man iptables then
[09:47] <atomiku> lol
[09:48] <atomiku> w/e
[09:48] <atomiku> i did
[09:48] <aZu> lisapc: free software re-implementation of SMB/CIFS networking protocol released under the GNU General Public License. As of version 3, Samba not only provides file and print services for various Microsoft Windows clients but can also integrate with a Windows Server domain
[09:48] <atomiku> didnt make sense
[09:48] <lisapc> to my surprised, i installed Ubuntu as ext3. but ubuntu is able to read my MS Vista partitions NTFS.  THats amazing.  I didnt know it could do that.  Is this a new feature in Edgy because Dapper wasnt able to
[09:48] <omegacenti> How do I find out what my CDRom drive is located at?
[09:48] <slacker_nl> amorphous_: you can add some hosts in /etc/hosts (or create aliases in your shell)
[09:48] <PriceChild> lisapc, dapper could do it... probably not automatic or something though :)
[09:48] <Halitech> lisapc, I have dapper and it will read ntfs fine
[09:48] <lisapc> aZu,  i only installed ubuntu.  and it reads my MS vista partitions/.
[09:48] <mytruehero> Halitech: when I tried burning a data CD, it says "starting TAO writing at 48x speed", and then the same error message as before: "probably a buffer underrun occured. please choose a lower burning speed"
[09:48] <tommy> slacker_nl, i cant find that on synaptic
[09:48] <Jowi> omegacenti, ls -la /dev/cdrom
[09:48] <lisapc> PriceChild,  ok
[09:48] <Flannel> robbie_crash: then you don't have a root password, and you don't need a liveCD.  Reboot, hit escape to get to the grub menu.  Then select the "Recovery Mode", then you can change yourpassword for your user with the passwd command.  DONT set a root password, there's no need to
[09:49] <lisapc> well thats a nice suprise for me :)
[09:49] <omegacenti> Jowi: Thankyou :)
[09:49] <EnsignRedshirt> lisapc: *Reading* ntfs has worked for several versions.  Writing is a different story...
[09:49] <robbie_crash> thanks Flannel
[09:49] <Halitech> mytruehero, I was having similiar issues with my dvd burner and I had to repalce the drive. will read fine but will not burn
[09:49] <slacker_nl> tommy: do you have all the repo's configured in your sources.list?
[09:49] <Chesney> vox754: I Tried setting both up with the appropriate information. I'm using a WRT54G Router, Just with basic WEP enable. It is broadcasting SSID, but couldn't get the system to recognize it.
[09:49] <Jowi> omegacenti, (hopefully a symlink exist that is called that at least)
[09:49] <aZu> lisapc: samba comes with ubuntu
[09:49] <lisapc> EnsignRedshirt,  so I can read from NTFS but cant write to it?
[09:49] <nekr0z> lisapc: I never had problems reading NTFS from ubuntu.
[09:49] <lisapc> !samba
[09:49] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[09:49] <aZu> lisapc: i think...
[09:49] <atomiku> sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 2222 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.1.5:8000 <-- would that foward port???
[09:49] <Flannel> robbie_crash: once you get to the shell, it's `passwd [user] ` (no sudo), then the new password
[09:49] <EnsignRedshirt> lisapc: By default, yes.
[09:49] <mytruehero> Halitech: the drive has worked fine for the past few months, when I was running Windows
[09:49] <nekr0z> lisapc: ever since 5.10 :))))
[09:49] <vox754> Chesney: you tried "sudo iwlist wlan0 scan"
[09:49] <omegacenti> Jowi: Would you mind helping me with a rather lengthy howto installation for wine --? Diablo II?
[09:50] <tommy> slacker_nl: do i have the whowha? (that would be a no, i think)
[09:50] <robbie_crash> flannel thanks
[09:50] <slacker_nl> tommy: ok
[09:50] <slacker_nl> !sources
[09:50] <Halitech> mytruehero, like I tell my customers, just cause it worked yesterday ...
[09:50] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[09:50] <slacker_nl> tommy: see ^^^^^
[09:50] <zafod77> Having problems with a PCI USB card StarTech PCI425USB anybody know why it's not seeing any devices attached to it? trying to attach a USB HD on an older server
[09:50] <Jowi> omegacenti, not really. wine works so and so for me. I tested diablo (first one) but is not playable. I doubt I would be of much use.
[09:50] <omegacenti> Jowi: Thankyou.
[09:50] <slacker_nl> and add some extra repo's, then aptitude update and search again :)
[09:50] <zoli2k> thanx for help
[09:51] <Chesney> vox754: Not yet. I will try that next. But I also gave the configuration the SSID name. I also tried putting the password in, in ASCII, and Hex.
[09:51] <mytruehero> Halitech: fair enough. for curiosity's sake, let me see what happens when I try to burn a CD under VMware'd windows
[09:51] <Unarme1> alright. i feel like an idiot, but i can't seem to make "make" work in ubuntu
[09:51] <Flannel> Unarme1: you need 'build-essential'
[09:51] <PriceChild> Unarme1, sudo apt-get isntall build-essential
[09:51] <Halitech> unarmel - did you install build-essential?
[09:51] <PriceChild> Unarme1, bah *install
[09:51] <Unarme1> dont know
[09:51] <Unarme1> i'll do it
[09:51] <Yahovah> Hello, I recently noticed Ubuntu appears to have an error after I set my clock beyond the year 2038. I am wondering, does Ubuntu have some sort of special knowledge of a coming Apocalypse that ensures the operating system will not be used after this year?
[09:52] <IndyGunFreak> Unarme1:  wha are you trying to compile?
[09:52] <lisapc> im very surprised and delighted when I just noticed I can read all my NTFS partitions from Ubuntu :)
[09:52] <nekr0z> Unarme1: and kernel headers too
[09:52] <PriceChild> Yahovah, If I told you that I'd have to kill you.
[09:52] <vox754> Chesney: since you say it is a Ralink chipset, I would be optimistic in that you only need to set up the ESSID and Key correctly and then turn on the card with "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up"
[09:52] <Flannel> Yahovah: Based on how the unix timestamp works, 2038 is when the 32bit integer rolls over
[09:52] <Halitech> Yahoval - google unix and 2038
[09:52] <PriceChild> vox754, it'll be "ra0" ;)
[09:52] <slacker_nl> lol @ Yahovah
[09:52] <BigMac_> !lastspoke Seveas
[09:52] <BigMac_> !seen Seveas
[09:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about seen seveas - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:53] <Chesney> Alrighty. I've been using linux for a while. But never played with wireless, so i'm having to learn as I go.
[09:53] <nekr0z> Yahovah: You sure it's Ubuntu, not your BIOS?
[09:53] <vox754> PriceChild: thanks for the info, I'm guessing, since I don't have a Ralink chipset.
[09:53] <Unarme1> neato
[09:53] <Unarme1> it worked
[09:53] <Unarme1> thanks
[09:53] <Unarme1> ralink
[09:53] <Unarme1> about that
[09:53] <Halitech> slacker_nl - he wants to set his dates up for the next year?
[09:53] <Unarme1> wait
[09:53] <Unarme1> nevermind
[09:53] <Unarme1> i'll get this to work from that
[09:53] <PriceChild> !enter | Unarme1
[09:53] <ubotu> Unarme1: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[09:53] <Yahovah> nekr0z, Positive, sir.
[09:53] <Flannel> nekr0z: of course it's linux, and not his bios.
[09:53] <mytruehero> Halitech: the CD burnt fine in VMware'd windows, so I don't think that it's the drive
[09:53] <EnsignRedshirt> Heh, by 2038, we'll all be using Microsoft Linux.
[09:53] <slacker_nl> Halitech: next year, or next decade?
[09:53] <amorphous_> slacker_nl, I been trying to read up, but cant understand etc/hosts/DNS/networking stuff - everything i have found has been way over my head & I'm getting to deadlines :( - if it doesn't work soon they'll want their windows back --- makes me feel a bit useless :(
[09:53] <Unarme1> forgive me. not as accustomed to irc chat style
[09:54] <Flannel> Yahovah: it's unix's version of the Y2K bug, I'm sure in 30 years, we'll have patched it
[09:54] <robbie_crash> So, resetting my password, will that reset the password that I need to enter for sudo to work?
[09:54] <lisapc> this is great.  Ubuntu plays my AVI and WMV files but Vista couldnt play them.  anyone know why?
[09:54] <Halitech> slacker_nl for what he's doing in 2039 and beyond  ;)
[09:54] <PriceChild> Flannel, 64bit patches it ;)
[09:54] <Yahovah> I ask this, because I am about to embark on a most wonderful adventure to visit John Titor to deliver important IBM 5100 machines he requested.
[09:54] <Flannel> robbie_crash: Eh?  By doing that command, you're setting a new password for that user
[09:54] <Yahovah> And I should like to have an accurate timestamp on my trip.
[09:54] <Flannel> PriceChild: right, but I assume there will still be some legacy 32bit machines then
[09:54] <vox754> EnsignRedshirt: Microsoft has obviously taken some ideas from the Open Source world, they are developing a Linux anytime.
[09:55] <slacker_nl> amorphous_: so what are you trying to accomplish?
[09:55] <Chesney> vox754: Out of curiosity, and maybe i'll just need to try this as I go along. when you enter in the WEP key, do I enter it without the seperating colons? 00:00:00:00 for example?
[09:55] <slacker_nl> amorphous_: only ssh?
[09:55] <robbie_crash> Right, but the password that I entered for sudo whenever requested was the same as my normal login
[09:55] <vexati0n> does anyone have experience with VPNs on linux?
[09:55] <Chesney> vox754: or ascii alone?
[09:55] <slacker_nl> vexati0n: vpnc works for me :)
[09:55] <Flannel> robbie_crash: right.  So by setting your password, youre also changing your sudo password
[09:55] <robbie_crash> thanks!
[09:55] <Flannel> robbie_crash: because they are one and the same
[09:55] <robbie_crash> everything seems to be working now
[09:55] <robbie_crash> thanks a lot Flannel
[09:55] <Flannel> robbie_crash: and, don't set a root password, there's absolutely no need to
[09:56] <robbie_crash> I didn't
[09:56] <gubluntu> Anyone here have any luck running a mail server from a dynamic ip?
[09:56] <vox754> Chesney: I do like this "sudo iwconfig wlan0 key 1234567890" no separators no nothing, however I've read that you may need 1234-5678-90
[09:57] <vexati0n> slacker_nl: vpnc works for me too but my problem is i'm trying to get into a SonicWall.
[09:57] <vexati0n> and OpenS/WAN doesn't work so much.
[09:57] <rwlyonsjr> hey guys - I am thinking about putting ubuntu on my powerbook - is there anything that I should be thinking about? If you guys think it is a bad idea, what PC laptop would you recommend?
[09:57] <slacker_nl> vexati0n: can't help you with that (no experience with that)
[09:57] <Unarme1> i can
[09:57] <nekr0z> Yahovah: Well, the support for current versions will be surely dropped by that time anyway ;-)
[09:57] <Unarme1> the things you will have to worry about are your airport card and internet access
[09:57] <Chesney> vox754: Alright *writes that down* Also one last thing. I have the system reading 2 interfaces. wlan0 and something masterlan or something along those lines. I only have one wireless interface card though.
[09:58] <rwlyonsjr> gotcha - This powerbook has airport extreme
[09:58] <Halitech> vexati0n - good luck with sonicwall, royal pain to set up from what I've dealt with
[09:58] <gubluntu> rwlyonsjr: ive got ubuntu as on choice during boot on my intel macbook...... runs like a dream... have used an ppc dists though
[09:58] <Unarme1> right. that will be a problem, i think, because ubuntu doesnt have airport extreme support, or does it now?
[09:58] <vexati0n> Halitech, is there a SonicWall Global VPN client for linux? even a closed-source one?
[09:58] <rwlyonsjr> I have an older powerbook that I know will work with the first generation airport card
[09:58] <rwlyonsjr> This is a PPC
[09:58] <Unarme1> that will work most definitely
[09:59] <gubluntu> s/have/havent
[09:59] <neomilan> why is there 1000% people in here?
[09:59] <Unarme1> it runs excellently on my ibook. i just happen to be an idiot
[09:59] <amorphous_> pretty much, slacker_nl , i want to write scripts to update machines & send off sheets at the end of the night - would be nice to email them automatically too, but i cant get mail to send from command line. Its a set of cafe's - i'm trying to get their paperwork to the owner etc...
[09:59] <Yahovah> nekr0z, I realize this, but I would like to have an accurate timestamp during my most important delivery. And I think the fact that I am helping the renowned John Titor should be adequate motivation from the Linux community to fix this error in all software products.
[09:59] <vox754> Chesney: I'm not sure if the format is actually important but you may edit also "/etc/network/interfaces" to see your devices and let them start up automatically. I'm not sure about those Ralink chipset, but I think some of them kind of create other devices, not sure why. Ask here.

[09:59] <omegacenti> Okay, for some reason I am having difficulties installing diablo 2 in ubuntu 6.10 usine wine from the repositories. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
[09:59] <rwlyonsjr> Unarme1: do you have an airport extreme card?
[09:59] <Yahovah> For the close of the UNIX epoch marches near, gentlemen!
[09:59] <Unarme1> i have
[09:59] <OuZo> how do i install jdk6? thanks
[09:59] <slacker_nl> amorphous_: look into mailx and maybe /usr/lib/sendmail for that
[10:00] <Jetfighter> Help me :(
[10:00] <jrib> !java | OuZo
[10:00] <ubotu> OuZo: 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
[10:00] <Flannel> OuZo: you on edgy or dapper?
[10:00] <rwlyonsjr> Unareme1: Are you using 6.10?
[10:00] <slacker_nl> amorphous_: and if you want to ssh to those boxes, install openssh-server (make sure you do not permit root logins though)
[10:00] <Jetfighter> Is this actually linux, or it is like different?
[10:00] <Unarme1> i had to run a number of complicated procedures to get it to work, but it works now. yes i am
[10:00] <Flannel> Jetfighter: it's actual linux, yes.
[10:01] <OuZo> jrib: ubotu Flannel thanks
[10:01] <Jetfighter> Sweet, but a problem
[10:01] <Chesney> vox754: Thank you so much for the help. I'm going to go attempt to get it working again.
[10:01] <Halitech> Jetfighter, the kernel is linux, just a different distro on top of the kernel
[10:01] <OuZo> jrib: ubotu Flannel im in edgy 64bit
[10:01] <Jetfighter> I downloaded JRE6, it says it can't open the file with the encoding or something along those linwa
[10:01] <Jetfighter> lines*
[10:01] <rwlyonsjr> Unarme1: Is seems to be easier to get things to work on older macs, intel macs or PC's
[10:01] <lisapc> how come I cant delete things from my NTFS partition?

[10:01] <sbn> Hi, my installer hung on Configurating apg
[10:01] <god> Hello POUND Ubuntu!
[10:01] <sbn> whats this?
[10:01] <slacker_nl> amorphous_: and maybe setup a small DNS server so you can ssh to them without having to remember the ip addresses (or if it a small network, add them to /etc/hosts -  eg 192.168.1.9   mypc)
[10:01] <Flannel> lisapc: deleting is writing
[10:01] <earthen> can anyone tell me how to restart the usb service
[10:02] <slacker_nl> amorphous_: then you can do `ssh mypc` and you're done :)
[10:02] <lisapc> Flannel,  ty
[10:02] <god> apt-get keeps saying I should run apt-get update --fix-missing
[10:02] <god> how do I do that?
[10:02] <vox754> Chesney: okay.
[10:02] <lisapc> Flannel, so I can read but not write to NTFS?
[10:02] <astinus> lisapc: ntfs3g
[10:02] <Flannel> lisapc: you can, reead the last sentence of that factoid ;)
[10:02] <lisapc> astinus, ok
[10:02] <Halitech> god I though you knew all ;)
[10:02] <shedi> god, apt-get -f install
[10:02] <earthen> god apt-get update -f I think
[10:02] <lisapc> Flannel,  :)
[10:02] <astinus> !ntfs-3g | lisapc
[10:02] <ubotu> lisapc: ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but please remember to keep backups of critical data. Installation instructions at http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710 (Dapper) and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009/ (Edgy)
[10:02] <PriceChild> god, run "sudo apt-get update --fix-missing" in a terminal
[10:02] <lisapc> !ntfs-3g
[10:02] <Unarme1> nother question. im trying to install the ralink usb driver, and im getting errors at the "make" situation
[10:03] <lisapc> !fuse
[10:03] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing using fuse here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[10:03] <Jetfighter> Can I do things like % Where is my brain] 
[10:03] <Chesney> I've got one more question for the channel. This time refering to GRUB. I installed Ubuntu. and as many times as I've done this I still managed to do it backwards. After partitioning and installing Ubuntu.  I popped the Windows CD into the drive and installed. It of course overwrites the MBR. Now, How does one setup grub to include the new windows partition.  which I placed in the third...
[10:03] <Chesney> ...partition on the same drive.
[10:03] <slacker_nl> Jetfighter: find / -name mybrain or locate mybrain ;)
[10:03] <lisapc> i have a Nvidia 7300 video card!  I dont think ubuntu is using them atm.  How can I see what video drivers Ubuntu uses?
[10:03] <Jetfighter> In...Terminal?
[10:04] <slacker_nl> Jetfighter: yes
[10:04] <Flannel> !grub | Chesney
[10:04] <ubotu> Chesney: 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
[10:04] <god> it's saying Password: ,what do I do now?
[10:04] <Halitech> god enter your password
[10:04] <Jetfighter> Do I need the CD in it to run this OS?
[10:04] <god> Halitech: where do I get that?
[10:04] <Halitech> Jetfighter - only if you are running the livecd
[10:04] <Chesney> Flannel: Much appreciated.
[10:04] <vox754> Chesney: you can actually set that info yourself.  You open the "/boot/grub/menu.lst" and add a few lines.
[10:05] <lisapc> Flannel,  any ideas about my video card?
[10:05] <Jetfighter> The one you download from site and burn to disk?
[10:05] <Halitech> god - you would have entered it when you were installling
[10:05] <eekrano> debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received -- look familiar to anyone? I can't ssh out to anywhere and debug dies here
[10:05] <god> Halitech: I never entered one.
[10:05] <god> is that a problem?
[10:05] <Jetfighter> Hailtech
[10:05] <Chesney> vox754: Yeah, I figured as much. Main problem is I just have no experience with GRUB, I always used Lilo on my gentoo system
[10:05] <Halitech> jetfighter - did you actually install it to your harddrive or is it running from the cd?
[10:05] <Lost_Soul> have forms to optimizer conecction internet???
[10:06] <Jetfighter> I booted from the CD and picked install or run ubunti
[10:06] <Halitech> god - in order to log into the system you would unless you are using the livecd
[10:06] <vox754> Chesney: Oh. Lilo. Gentoo. Those words hurt my pride; I thought you were a new guy.
[10:06] <kimiks> ciao a tutti
[10:06] <god> Halitech: no, I installed it.
[10:06] <Flannel> god: What installer did you use?  which CD?
[10:06] <Halitech> jetfighter - have you actually installed it?
[10:06] <god> it has the Ubuntu logo on the CD
[10:06] <Chesney> vox754: No just confused =)
[10:06] <god> I got it in the mail.
[10:06] <kimiks> chi mi pu aiutare con il mulo su ubuntu
[10:06] <wolferine> who has an ATI card, and has Beryl working?
[10:06] <Jetfighter> Hailtech
[10:06] <Lost_Soul> have forms to optimizer conecction internet???
[10:07] <Jetfighter> How would I know that?
[10:07] <Flannel> god: ok, the Desktop Cd.  It booted a nice pretty GUI, right?
[10:07] <colorred> Lost_Soul: ?
[10:07] <lisapc> should I have backports enabled?
[10:07] <Flannel> wolferine: #ubuntu-effects for beryl support
[10:07] <kimiks> qulcuno para italiano = ?
[10:07] <Flannel> lisapc: probably not
[10:07] <LadyNikon> anyone actually use the sprint px-500 in ubuntu

[10:07] <ubotu> kimiks: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[10:07] <Halitech> jetfighter - do you have an icon on your desktop that says install?
[10:07] <god> Flannel: yes!
[10:07] <earthen> wolferine, I do I have the ferrari 4005 laptop with an x700 ati card
[10:07] <Lost_Soul> colorred, sorry my english, i like optimizzer my internet
[10:07] <Jetfighter> Idk
[10:07] <PriceChild> Flannel, bah you know it then :)
[10:07] <Lost_Soul> conecction
[10:07] <Jetfighter> Ugh, yes. :(
[10:07] <wolferine> xgl earthen?
[10:07] <Halitech> jetfighter, okay, you are using the livecd so yes, yo uneed the cd in
[10:08] <Jetfighter> earthen: is that an Acer product?
[10:08] <wolferine> or do you not remember?
[10:08] <earthen> wolferine, I think so yes
[10:08] <earthen> Jetfighter, yes
[10:08] <vox754> Chesney: alright, you just don't emerge me you wrath. I kind of think that nowadays Lilo is no longer better than GRUB.
[10:08] <lisapc> how can I tell which video drivers Ubuntu uses?  I have a NVidia 7300 video card, and Im not sure if I have to set it up or if Ubuntu installed them. I can watch videos atm
[10:08] <Chesney> vox754: Though, I'm just trying to figure out what needs to be assed to the grub file, keeping the Ubuntu boot information intact, while adding the entry for the windows system.
[10:08] <Jetfighter> Yay, I got Aspire 3690 lol
[10:08] <wolferine> lisapc: check in your xorg.conf
[10:08] <Jetfighter> Hailtech, if I open install, then once thats done, I won't need the CD in?
[10:08] <Flannel> god: Alright, well, during the installer, you *did* set a password.  But, we can still change it.  What you need to do is (write this down): reboot, hit escape after your POST screen, choose the "recovery mode", then once that finishes, type "passwd [your username] " and then when it asks, set your new password.  then reboot (`shutdown -r now`)
[10:08] <Chesney> vox754: I'm doing my best to keep up with the times, only reason I switched =)
[10:08] <kclod> ciao a tutti
[10:08] <user1234> hi @ all
[10:09] <amorphous_> slacker_nl, i've been using ssh - not openssh-server. is there a difference?
[10:09] <earthen> Jetfighter, how is it, I have no complants about my ferrari axcept for the sound is kinda crappy
[10:09] <kimiks> ciao
[10:09] <Chesney> vox754: assed, meant to be added.
[10:09] <kimiks> kclod
[10:09] <Jetfighter> It's pretty nice
[10:09] <slacker_nl> amorphous_: you have the client and the server
[10:09] <Flannel> amorphous_: they're one and the same.
[10:09] <god> Flannel: thanx. I'm on a laptop, so I'll just do that now.
[10:09] <Jetfighter> Hella awesome screen
[10:09] <lisapc> wolferine,  i cant get nauitlus to access root folders!  how can I do tha?
[10:09] <user1234> i have a problem uninstalling a package  http://rafb.net/p/qosUuC94.html
[10:09] <kclod> ciao
[10:09] <god> it's rebooting now
[10:09] <vox754> Chesney: I think you can add lines to the Grub menu without impact. You can add lines as separators.
[10:09] <Jetfighter> Hailtech: If I run the installer, it will install, then I won't need the CD, right?
[10:09] <earthen> Jetfighter, 15.4
[10:09] <lisapc> when I run Nautilus, it doesnt show me any root folders
[10:09] <god> okay, it's going into recovery mode.
[10:09] <Flannel> lisapc: `gksu nautilus`  and be careful
[10:09] <slacker_nl> amorphous_: one is for setting up the connection to a server (where you have the ssh server running)
[10:10] <user1234> http://rafb.net/p/Re5KOC42.html
[10:10] <kwheeler> quit
[10:10] <user1234> any ideas
[10:10] <bruenig> user1234, what language is that
[10:10] <user1234> ?
[10:10] <Flannel> lisapc: that's because youre running nautlus as a normal user (you)
[10:10] <slacker_nl> amorphous_: ubuntu has the client default installed, not the server
[10:10] <wolferine> lisapc: u can do sudo nautilus
[10:10] <tommy> slacker_nl: i cannot find a repository that contains rar
[10:10] <wolferine> from a shell
[10:10] <Flannel> wolferine, lisapc, not sudo, gksu
[10:10] <Chesney> vox754: Its just editing the config file correct? (Still lost as to what I need to add though)
[10:10] <amorphous_> Flannel, slacker_nl thanks
[10:10] <bruenig> !info rar
[10:10] <ubotu> rar: Archiver for .rar files. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:3.5.1-1 (edgy), package size 239 kB, installed size 472 kB (Only available for i386)
[10:10] <Halitech> Jetfighter - correct, once it's installed you dont need to keep the cd in
[10:10] <vox754> Chesney: I just saw some info, "man grub", "man update-grub", "man grub-install"
[10:10] <Jetfighter> Ok
[10:10] <user1234> it is german

[10:10] <Jetfighter> How long will install take, and will it free up space?
[10:10] <amorphous_> slacker_nl, if i have installed ssh on all boxes - am i less secure?
[10:10] <wolferine> u mean gksudo ?
[10:11] <bruenig> wolferine, gksudo is a symlink to gksu
[10:11] <Flannel> wolferine: gksudo is a symlink to gksu, so yes
[10:11] <lisapc> Flannel,  when I typed gksu nautilus it only shows my home folders.  not root folders!  whats solution pls?
[10:11] <god> okay, it's rebooting again now, after changing the password thing
[10:11] <Unarme1> "make" says to me  that something is missing from a directory when i try to use it on the ralink driver files
[10:11] <slacker_nl> amorphous_: no, that depends on how you configure the boxes
[10:11] <Unarme1> what do i do?
[10:11] <slacker_nl> amorphous_: ssh is not insecure (its supposed to be secure shell )
[10:11] <Jetfighter> Hailtech: Will I have more space after installing to HDD?
[10:11] <wolferine> or is gksu a link to gksudo ?
[10:11] <amorphous_> i just apt-getted it - dissabled root login, and passwd -l root-ed
[10:11] <lisapc> Flannel, I see root on left side, but when I click on it, i only see Desktop
[10:11] <Halitech> Jetfighter - depends on  your system but no more then an hour and no, it won't free up space, it will need at least 10 gig to install and allow you room to install your apps
[10:12] <Jetfighter> I got one 55 gig partition..
[10:12] <slacker_nl> amorphous_: you should have no problems then (unless users use weak passwords)
[10:12] <Halitech> jetfighter - do you want to keep windows as well?
[10:12] <bruenig> wolferine, gksudo is a link to gksu, do file /usr/bin/gksudo
[10:12] <slacker_nl> but if they cannot become root - its only that user that is impacted
[10:12] <Septim> Hi all...:)
[10:12] <Jetfighter> Will I lose my files that I have? And no, I got this to run away from Windows and Mac
[10:12] <vox754> Chesney: join #vocx
[10:12] <lisapc> does anyone know how I can get nautilus to access my root folders pleae?
[10:13] <Flannel> slacker_nl: riht, but it's the only user that they know the username for.  Everything else, they have to figure out user and pass.
[10:13] <Halitech> jetfighter - if you tell ubuntu to use the entire drive then yes, it will delete everything on the drive
[10:13] <Flannel> oh, er, you knew that
[10:13] <Jetfighter> Time to have install fun >.<
[10:13] <amorphous_> the week password can only open up a locked down epiphany in the gui - don't know how to lock out command line stuff without locking myself out!!
[10:13] <slacker_nl> Flannel: sorry?
[10:13] <soundray> lisapc: will you take it from me?
[10:13] <wolferine> why would something with more characters be a link to something with less characters?
[10:13] <Unarme1> dangit
[10:13] <Jetfighter> Hailtech: You misunderstand me. If I downloaded stuff using LiveCD, will install erase that?
[10:13] <lisapc> soundray, take what?
[10:14] <soundray> lisapc: an answerr
[10:14] <Nalleman> Dear all, I would be very glad if some of you could take som time and proofread a coverletter I'm writing. If you are interested, please give me a private message. I would really appreciate it. Sincerely
[10:14] <Flannel> wolferine: because gksudo was being used, and then the two merged
[10:14] <lisapc> soundray, yes! i cant get nauiituls to read root folders
[10:14] <Halitech> Jetfighter, anything that is on the hard drive it will erase. anything you "save" on the livecd will be gone as well
[10:14] <wolferine> merged?
[10:14] <Jetfighter> Ok, good
[10:15] <soundray> lisapc: I was just wondering, because you called me a troll the other day. Anyway, if you run 'gksudo nautilus', you should be able to access any folder on the system.
[10:15] <Jetfighter> I'll be back after install is complete then :D
[10:15] <Halitech> Jetfighter - good luck
[10:15] <kclod> Tentativo fallito di lanciare il demone audio JACK. L'audio sar disattivato. qualcuno sa cosa vuol dire? grazie
[10:15] <lisapc> soundray, it wasnt. but I chose to show hidden files, and now it does :)
[10:15] <Jetfighter> Thanks.
[10:15] <Flannel> wolferine: gksudo and gksu became one, so to preserve compatability (with scripts that use gksudo), you remove it and symlink it, since they do the same thing
[10:15] <lisapc> soundray, btw, do you have any ideas how I can get ubuntu to use my NVidia 7300 video card?
[10:16] <Jetfighter> It's making pissy scratchy sounds and doing nothing
[10:16] <nightrid3r> !it | kclod
[10:16] <wolferine> still doesnt explain why its more characters
[10:16] <ubotu> kclod: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[10:16] <wolferine> and why isnt it just su
[10:16] <amorphous_> slacker_nl, am working on it though. got involved just because i wanted to get him off windows... think i bit off quite a bit. have to keep my paying work going - and i'm just an amature hacker. silly thing to get involved in, but good for character building lol
[10:16] <kclod> scusa non sapevo
[10:16] <soundray> lisapc: I take it you've read the wiki advice for nvidia?
[10:16] <Flannel> wolferine: #ubuntu-offtopic, I'll explain it again
[10:16] <slacker_nl> amorphous_: that's the spirit!
[10:16] <wolferine> no thanks
[10:16] <lisapc> soundray, no! wheres that?
[10:16] <slacker_nl> amorphous_: i'm converting users as well ;)
[10:16] <kclod> a presto

[10:18] <lerox> #newbies
[10:18] <Halitech> Jetfighter - what do you mean sounds?
[10:18] <lisapc> it says Section "Device"
[10:18] <lisapc> 	Identifier	"NVIDIA Corporation NVIDIA Default Card", does this mean Ubuntu automatifcally installed my proper Nvida drivers?
[10:18] <omegacenti_> PriceChild: Error "I/O error" while copying "/media/cd...music.mpq".
[10:19] <Jetfighter> As in, reading disk kindasounds, its going
[10:19] <Halitech> Jetfighter - okay, I've noticed it does seem to take a bit to get it going
[10:19] <Jetfighter> Gotta hit install now :(
[10:19] <PriceChild> lisapc, ubuntu only installs the open source "nv" drivers
[10:19] <bigfuzzyjesus> ##buildabrain

[10:20] <TechSalvager> !nvidia
[10:20] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[10:20] <Jetfighter> Hey, gool, I cantalk here while it goes
[10:20] <goetiaoccultus> !7.04
[10:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about 7.04 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:21] <goetiaoccultus> lol when is 7.04 being released
[10:21] <Halitech> 7.04 should be released in April
[10:21] <omegacenti_> PriceChild: I'm going to try an audio CD
[10:21] <goetiaoccultus> k cool
[10:21] <lisapc> PriceChild, so i need to install the proper Nvidia drivers also?
[10:21] <robbie_crash> So now when I try and log in it says "User's $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the session from being saved. File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions. User's $HOME directory must be owned by user and not writable by other users." But the permissions say that it's owned by me, that I have read/write access and that other users have none
[10:21] <PriceChild> lisapc, don't "need" to :)
[10:22] <lisapc> PriceChild,  so I follow the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto ?
[10:22] <lisapc> PriceChild,  dont need to what?
[10:22] <PriceChild> robbie_crash, chmod 644 ~/.dmrc
[10:22] <robbie_crash> thanks

[10:24] <lisapc> PriceChild, how can I safeguard myself in case ubuntu X doesnt load after I install the nvida drivers?
[10:24] <PriceChild> !xconfig | lisapc
[10:24] <ubotu> lisapc: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  - To configure only the driver and resolution, type  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh  - See also !FixRes
[10:24] <soundray> omegacenti_: it's possible that your drive has collected some dust
[10:24] <PriceChild> lisapc, write that second command down
[10:24] <ant_> nonetheless, its cool
[10:24] <Unarme1> help me. when i make the files for the ralink driver it says "/lib/modules/2.6.15-26/powerpc/build: no such file/directory

[10:24] <PriceChild> lisapc, the one with -phigh
[10:24] <DisabledBobcat> Is there a way to update my GTK+ using apt?
[10:24] <omegacenti_> soundray: Other CD's work though, that rules out a systemic problem...
[10:24] <PriceChild> lisapc, It will redo your xorg.conf if you mess it up  :)
[10:24] <Unarme1> need help
[10:24] <omegacenti_> soundray: about dust I mean.
[10:24] <LordOfHeat> anyone knows how to remove someone from block at gaim? :)
[10:24] <PriceChild> Unarme1, why are you building it?
[10:25] <lisapc> PriceChild, so if it messes up, ubuntu will still load?
[10:25] <Unarme1> because it said to...?
[10:25] <salty> can someone tell me what is the minimal install to use my hp 460 printer?
[10:25] <PriceChild> lisapc, ubuntu will always load...
[10:25] <Unarme1> is that the wrong thing to do?
[10:25] <PriceChild> lisapc, that second command will redo your xorg.conf if you mess that up
[10:25] <PriceChild> lisapc, ctrl+alt+f1 gets you to a terminal
[10:25] <robbie_crash> PriceChild: still same error on login
[10:25] <lisapc> PriceChild, so i type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh ?
[10:25] <Jetfighter> Does having this Linux OS mean that I can host my website from my computer?
[10:25] <PriceChild> lisapc, log in... type that command then "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" and you have your gui back :)
[10:25] <robbie_crash> Jetfighter: if you install a webserver
[10:25] <AlexC_> Jetfighter: yes, you could also have done it from a Windows or Mac OS
[10:25] <Unarme1> nevermind
[10:26] <ant_> i wish i could help, but i'm learning myself
[10:26] <Jetfighter> Wouldn't it be easier on here though?
[10:26] <lisapc> PriceChild, so it messes up and ubuntu doeant load anymore. I run Ubuntu and press ctr+alt+f1 and type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh in a terminal;?
[10:26] <AlexC_> Jetfighter: yes, I would say so.
[10:26] <PriceChild> lisapc, yes, then "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" to get X to restart

[10:27] <salty> ravi have ya tried nautilus?
[10:27] <LordOfHeat> anyone knows how to remove someone from block at gaim? :)

[10:33] <hcook> is there a package someplace in the repos for the "normal" bittorrent client (that is, the one from bittorrent.com)?

[10:33] <lisapc> PriceChild,  ok thanks :)
[10:33] <lisapc> brb

[10:33] <salty> ravi i'm looking in my code book...hold on
[10:33] <Jetfighter> lol @all over the place
[10:33] <hcook> or should i just install from their .deb?
[10:33] <hcook> or is there some reason why i shouldn't use that client?

[10:35] <Jetfighter> robie_crash,I think you need 666 or 777 CHMOD.
[10:36] <PriceChild> Jetfighter, best not to 666 it ;)
[10:36] <PriceChild> Jetfighter, and also 777 leaves you "too" open
[10:36] <Jetfighter> idk >.<
[10:36] <lisapc> PriceChild, it shouted at me :(  it says 4 lines of W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://security.ubuntu.com edgy-security/restricted Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubunu_dists_edgy-security_restricted_binary-i386_Packages)
[10:36] <Jetfighter> 646?
[10:36] <mjr> ravi, I'd have just not installed the proprietary ones
[10:36] <Halitech> 644
[10:36] <PriceChild> lisapc, don't worry... that's just a grumble. Carry on and we'll fix that later
[10:37] <lisapc> PriceChild,  can u pls tell me what lines need fixing?  besides you said it was perfect :P heh
[10:37] <robbie_crash> Same thing PriceChild

[10:37] <alex22> whats the command line command to rar something
[10:37] <PriceChild> robbie_crash, wait a minute... you 644'd your entire home dir?

[10:38] <Parisi> Hello
[10:38] <techie_> Any suggestions
[10:38] <PriceChild> Hi Parisi
[10:38] <techie_> ?
[10:38] <Jetfighter> When it says copying files, does 100% mean it's done, or will it need to do more?
[10:38] <salty> ravi use this info...it helped me... http://smorgasbord.net/convert_video_linux
[10:38] <lisapc> can someone tell me why my sources keeps giving me dulicated errors messages:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9905/
[10:38] <robbie_crash> PriceChild: I did chmod ~/.dmrc
[10:39] <robbie_crash> I think
[10:39] <alex22> IM CONNECTED TO MY SITE IN TELNET. I WANT TO RAR/TAR A FOLDER
[10:39] <robbie_crash> : /
[10:39] <PriceChild> lisapc, you could just replace it with a "clean" sources.list ?
[10:39] <alex22> whats the command to do so
[10:39] <preaction> Jetfighter: when you're doing filesystem operations, it's probably best to not click cancel unless you actually want to cancel
[10:39] <Doomedelite> jetfighter: 100% means it's done, but it might do some cleanup things afterwards, so just let it do it's stuff :P
[10:39] <lisapc> PriceChild,  where can I get a clean sources for Edgy?
[10:39] <PriceChild> alex22, tar -cvvf foo.tar foo/
[10:39] <Parisi> Can somebody help me setup my audio on Ubuntu 6.10 ? I have a Ace ast180 running on a amd x2 cpu, lspci shows this: 00:05.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation Unknown device 03f0 (rev a2)
[10:39] <PriceChild> !sourceomatic | lisapc
[10:39] <ubotu> lisapc: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[10:39] <Jetfighter> At lrast doom is smart
[10:39] <lisapc> PriceChild,  does that include universe etc?
[10:39] <ant_> alex22 L the command is "man tar"
[10:40] <Doomedelite> :P
[10:40] <PriceChild> lisapc, everything :)
[10:40] <Jetfighter> So 74 % would be almost done?
[10:40] <Doomedelite> 74% would be ~3/4 done
[10:40] <Doomedelite> :P
[10:40] <PriceChild> lisapc, as i said earlier, that's just a grumble. It can carry on with the duplicates.
[10:40] <Jetfighter> Which is close enough for me :P
[10:40] <techie_> Any recommendations for any other sound recorder programs besides the "Sound Recorder" used in Ubuntu?
[10:40] <Jetfighter> So this is Linux, like Red Hat and SUSE are?
[10:40] <Doomedelite> techie_: Audacity
[10:40] <lisapc> PriceChild, im a percectionist :)
[10:41] <Doomedelite> This is linux, like Debian.
thanks. I will give that a try.
[10:41] <Jetfighter> Whats that?
[10:41] <preaction> Jetfighter: This is a GNU/Linux operating system, yes.
[10:41] <cindir> can anyone help with running 32 bit programs in 64 bit
[10:41] <ravi> jetfighter, yes, but with a much better package management system
[10:41] <Doomedelite> I can't really explain the differences between debian and other distros, but it's the best.
[10:42] <Jetfighter> Go would lke...*Pulls random idea out* % How's my lovemaking make it say Unmatched'.
[10:42] <Doomedelite> Jetfighter: You need to get laid
[10:42] <ravi> SuSE and RedHat use RPM-based package management which have known to be going down-hill in the past few years.
[10:42] <Doomedelite> Jetfighter: Otherwise you get an undefined error
[10:42] <Jetfighter> Dude
[10:42] <Doomedelite> =)
[10:42] <PriceChild> Doomedelite, not in here thanks.
[10:43] <shatrat> ravi, rpm has always been harsh, its not getting worse everyone else is getting better, apt and portage and such.
[10:43] <vox754> ravi: can you imagine Ubuntu being done Red Hat-based.
[10:43] <[BTF] Chm0d> using dual monitors what setting do I need to put in my xorg.conf to keep the applications from spanning both monitors?
[10:43] <ravi> anyone else sick of waiting for 2 hours for dependencies to resolve during an update?
[10:43] <Halitech> Jetfighter - Linux is just the kernel or core of the OS. Redhat, Suse, Debian and oterhs are distrobutions or a collection of software designed to work with the kernel so you can actually do something

[10:44] <Jetfighter> :P*
[10:44] <ravi> shatrat, it's not getting worse but as the world around it grows, the flaws in the design of RPM have emerged such as it's inability to work efficiently for an arbitrarily large RPM package bases when compared to other package management systems.

Setting the linux drive to "slave" makes linux unbootable. I want windows to be the master drive, linux slave, and I want to cho

[10:45] <robbie_crash> hcook when I used the bittorrent client from  bittorrent.com it was years ago, it gave me no options to change speeds or what files were being downloaded or anything, I hated it so I moved to Azureus which does all the stuff you're asking about

[10:45] <tommy12796> whats the irc command to view all channels
[10:45] <Doomedelite> Just to learn a bunch of stuff
[10:45] <AlexC_> tommy12796: how is that a Ubuntu question?
[10:45] <Jetfighter> Uhhhhh /list?
[10:45] <tommy12796> i'm using an ubuntu irc client
[10:45] <shatrat> Ltar, master and slave has nothing to do with booting
[10:45] <ravi> tommy, use xchat
[10:46] <Jetfighter> 95%, and I think its cleaning up now
[10:46] <Jetfighter> So im gonna run away for a bit soon
[10:46] <hcook> robbie_crash: oh, well they must have improved it...i've got it on my other box (which runs gentoo) and it's great
[10:46] <Ltar> shatrat: if either drive is set to "slave" in the jumpers, it won't boot
[10:46] <shatrat> Ltar, what you need is to have grub on whatever drive is first in the boot order, and use grub to chooose linux or windows at boot
[10:46] <AlexC_> tommy12796: so? It's not Ubuntu related. xChat runs on pretty much every Linux distro, and Windows. The fact you are using Ubuntu does not make it a Ubuntu support question.
[10:46] <Comrade-Sergei> whats a normal download speed on a 256k DSL line?
[10:46] <vox754> Ltar: give more info about your motherboard, and harddrives, how old are they?
[10:46] <HymnToLife> xChat runs on pretty much every Linux distro, and Windows <= and others, too :p
[10:46] <PriceChild> Comrade-Sergei, depends on many conditions
[10:46] <shatrat> Ltar, just use cable select? master and slave is just for the IDE bus, it doesnt really affect anything outside of how to two drives communicate with the motehrboard
[10:46] <tommy12796> i'm using konversation

[10:47] <Ltar> vox: the computer is vintage 2000, Asus mobo... i'd have to find the box to tell you more. both HDDs are EIDE, western digitals.
[10:47] <Halitech> Comreade-Sergei - if you get 80% of your rated speed it's acceptable
[10:47] <AlexC_> tommy12796: that still, doesn't make it a Ubuntu question =)

[10:47] <uproot> what do people think of linspire ?. is it widely used ?
[10:47] <vox754> HymnToLife: correct me if I'm wrong but I think xchat costs money on Windows.
[10:47] <btrento> Could someone direct me to the best forum for xgl on dapper drake.  I have googled around but I am not sure which one I should follow also should I be doing aiglx or xgl/compiz.  What is the difference
[10:47] <robbie_crash> hcook I dunno, like I said, I don't use it, I just use azureus
[10:47] <omegacenti_> Alright, I am in media/ and I have something that is cdrom(lightblue) and cdrom0(blue). What is the difference if I only have 1 cdrom drive?

[10:48] <preaction> Comrade-Sergei: look up what kilobits per second means and you'll have your answer
[10:48] <robbie_crash> Ltar: Csel makes your bios decide which drive is master/slave depending on which end of the ide cable it's plugged into
[10:48] <robbie_crash> grey/black
[10:48] <Halitech> Comrade-Sergei - sounds pretty low to me. does your provider have a speed test site you can confirm it with?
[10:48] <shatrat> Ltar, well most drives have another jumper setting that just lets the drives work out who is gonna be master and slave between themselves.  like DHCP for paralell ATA kinda, but not at all really. Im terrible at explainging things
[10:48] <vox754> HymnToLife: okay, that is what I read somewhere.
[10:48] <Comrade-Sergei> preaction i know i am net + cert

[10:48] <Comrade-Sergei> Halitech well im kinda out of dsl range
[10:49] <shatrat> Ltar, the important thing is once both drives are set up and working all you should neeed to do to boot different ones is choose the appropriate entry in Grub
[10:49] <omegacenti_> Alright, I am in media/ and I have something that is cdrom(lightblue) and cdrom0(blue). What is the difference if I only have 1 cdrom drive?
[10:49] <Halitech> Comrade-sergei - if you are out of dsl range then how are you getting it?
[10:49] <tanlaan> My printer seems to be printing much slower than usual*under linux, i usually print under windows*. Normally it prints really fast if its just black and white *text* rather than slow for color*images*. If I change the settings under Printout Mode to Normal Greyscale, will that tell the printer that it is only printing black and white and may help with speed?
[10:49] <Halitech> and what good wold it to do to call them?
[10:49] <vox754> Comrade-Sergei: divide 256kbps by 8, that is your speed in KB/s
[10:50] <preaction> Comrade-Sergei: somehow i doubt that. your idea of "30" is probably in kB/s, your idea of 256 is probably kbps, 30 kB * 8 bits in a Byte = 240kbps

[10:51] <Ltar> shatrat: I'll need to install grub on the windows drive, then? I've messed with grub a little, before, trying to get this computer to work, and I had some adventures with how windows was installed (idiotically).
[10:51] <Comrade-Sergei> preaction  yes sorry i read it wrong this is not my machine
[10:51] <omegacenti_> the cdrom -> cdrom0 thing?
[10:51] <Comrade-Sergei> preaction free cert for me haha!
[10:51] <Halitech> Comrade-sergei - I would suggest you confirm the speeds cause if you arent supposed to have it and you call, they will probably disconnect it
[10:51] <Comrade-Sergei> preaction otherwise i think its like $300
[10:51] <tanlaan> crdlb: hmm, well I think I'm gonna try the greyscale option and see if it helps
[10:51] <preaction> Comrade-Sergei: obviously you get what you pay for
[10:51] <ofn> AlexC, i did run it with sudo....
[10:51] <shatrat> Ltar, it's best to have grub on the windows drive in my experience cause otherwise you have to do some fiddling with it's entry in the menu.lst for grub,  windows throws a fit if its not on the first drive in the boot order
[10:51] <Comrade-Sergei> lol
[10:52] <robbie_crash> haha preaction
[10:52] <AlexC_> ofn hm weird,
[10:52] <Comrade-Sergei> preaction well im net+ a+ and im getting ready for the CCNA
[10:52] <AlexC_> ofn I would like to help but I've gotta pop off now, hope you get it fixed!
[10:52] <AlexC_> Bye all!
[10:52] <Jetfighter> Ok, I installed it, no live CD shit
[10:52] <shatrat> Ltar, but if you already have grub on the linux drive, you can set that drive to be first boot device in your BIOS and then edit grubs menu to include a windows entry
[10:52] <Ltar> shatrat: yeah, I had messed with that, remapping hd0, hd1 and hd1, hd0 in grub, then a chainloader+1 command
[10:52] <ofn> AlexC, okay, thanks anyway
[10:52] <preaction> Comrade-Sergei: good rule of thumb: most software reports Bytes, most providers report Bits (because it makes a bigger number)
[10:52] <robbie_crash> a+ sure is useful
[10:53] <Comrade-Sergei> lol yea
[10:53] <shatrat> Ltar, yeah, if grub is on the windows drive you don't have to remap.  That's how I have it but you should be able to get it going eithe rway
[10:53] <Jetfighter> Some favor please?
[10:53] <tanlaan> crdlb: oh, actually when you hit print and it brings up the prompt goto configure and click grayscale *it helps a lot!*
[10:53] <Jetfighter> Java link thing please?
[10:53] <RoboSheep> I'm having trouble with my eth0 and wlan0, it might be two separate problems, they maybe related.  Eth0 is found but unusable it shows data transmitting (sent and receive) but is not displayed no matter which program I use.  wlan0's connection simply dies every so often and the settings need to be reconfrimed in Networking.  When this happens my eth0 has been enabled for some reason.

[10:55] <Ltar> shatrat: I think I do, there's an extra IDE plug coming off the floppy drive that I could use. is the conflict coming from both drives being on the same cable, with no way to tell who from what?

[10:57] <uproot> ive always used it for burning iso's when i ran windows. but i never saw the point in evluating it if i was to switch to another os anyways lol
[10:57] <shatrat> Ltar, floppy is a different bus, you cant plug it into that one.  If you have two drives on one parallel IDE cable one needs to be master and one slave. Try fiddling with the jumpers till you can see both in the bios at the same time.
[10:57] <chris2077> is there
[10:57] <robbie_crash> aorthr33: root is what group I'm part of, but I'm not sure if that's default or if I bunged something up
[10:57] <vox754> Ltar: I'm sure it is not that hard. Just make the windows drive master, and install grub on it.
[10:58] <chris2077> what is the compatability like with an openoffice db and filemakerpro? im doing a project at school with filemaker and wondering what my linux options are

[11:17] <Doomedelite> Ninjai: Probably because the host is in Europe?
[11:17] <cafuego_> jimd3299: the ram is somewhat low
[11:17] <ubotu> apache2: next generation, scalable, extendable web server. In component main, is optional. Version 2.0.55-4ubuntu4 (edgy), package size 35 kB, installed size 80 kB
[11:17] <jrib> waseem: free -m
[11:17] <shatrat> Ninjai, I read that he isnt maintaining that repo anymore and he switched to debian etch
[11:17] <Robby> anybody know if ubuntu can support an intel(R) PRO/wireless 3945abg network connection card

[11:17] <Robby> it can cool
[11:17] <waseem> how do i find out all of the system information?
[11:17] <vox754> Robby: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=361041

[11:21] <Ltar> arg...  I've got both HDD's plugged in, linux is master- but I can't mount the windows drive. attempting to mount it with mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb /media/windows makes it so I can't browse the drive in file browser
[11:21] <shatrat> waseem, depends on what model it is
[11:21] <mojo> k31th: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/29760  talks about it and why ... there are some workarounds mentioned in there and the comments

[11:21] <DeL3e7> wow cafuego your so smart
[11:21] <cafuego_> liar
[11:21] <Ltar> I had the windows drive mounted in /media/windows before I reinstalled windows on it, and I was able to browse it openly in linux, so that I could back things up.
[11:21] <|pr3vi0uz|> whats the command for showing what version of ubuntu im running ?
[11:21] <waseem> whenever i try to run a game it says xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display
[11:22] <PriceChild> |pr3vi0uz|, lsb_release -r
[11:22] <shatrat> waseem, I see.  Does "glxinfo | grep rendering" say no? If so you might want to try installing the proprietary ATI driver, although its kind of crap
[11:22] <|pr3vi0uz|> tty pricechild
[11:22] <Jetfighter> help
[11:22] <mlalkaka> PriceChild: they do, mostly. but some things don't work. For example, the form wizard won't open up when you select it from Base. it doesn't even display an error message or anything. apparently, from what i found out right now at #openoffice.org, this is because the version of OOo in ubuntu edgy is compiled against gcj, instead of sun-java.
[11:22] <tont> i have a cpu dual core..how can to verify that they work the two cpu?
[11:22] <Robby> does anybody know of a complete handbook or walkthru for a toshiba satalite m105

[11:22] <LadyNikon> Robby: walk through of what?
[11:22] <PriceChild> mlalkaka, yeah that's correct :(
[11:22] <DeL3e7> cafuego_,  your seriously awesome
[11:22] <waseem> it says that its missing on display ":0.0"
[11:22] <matkix0s> Anyone around here willing to help me setup dual monitors on an nvidia 6200 gc?
[11:22] <Ninjai> isn`t there a replacement for that slow repository...to install nvidia drivers
[11:22] <Robby> complete install
[11:22] <Jetfighter> i open a linux.sh file, it opens in text editor...how it run program?????
[11:22] <cafuego_> still a liar, plus using the "a" word costs $2.
[11:22] <waseem> bipolar: how do i activate 3d accn
[11:22] <arooni> is there anyweay to remember ssh server addresses + usernames _+ passwords
[11:22] <tont> i have a cpu dual core..how can to verify that they work the two cpu?

[11:23] <LadyNikon> stick the disk in? it pretty much does everything itself

[11:25] <Robby> from where?
[11:25] <PriceChild> |pr3vi0uz|, its annoying... but its possible to get further, I can't remember how though sorry
[11:25] <matkix0s> I've done it on cent, but need help on this os.
[11:25] <PriceChild> mlalkaka, that's on feisty

[11:25] <Jetfighter> how can a linux.sh file run a program?
[11:25] <PriceChild> mlalkaka, not sure about how to fix it on edgy
[11:25] <n-iCe> sudp apt-get install sun-java5-jre
[11:25] <PriceChild> Jetfighter, ./linux.sh
[11:25] <Jetfighter> ?
[11:25] <n-iCe> sudoapt-get install sun-java5-jre doesnt' work why?
[11:25] <vox754> Ltar: you may need to set a proper "/etc/fstab" so you can browse the partition.
[11:25] <mlalkaka> PriceChild: well that's good to know, since there's only about a month left for the fawn's birth
[11:25] <Robby> ladynikon: from where?
[11:25] <bipolar> !fglrx
[11:25] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:25] <matkix0s> So no one here has had to install an nvidia card driver?
[11:25] <waseem> im trying to download the drivers but the problem is my computer has a problem wtih installing things. its always returning some weird error
[11:26] <PriceChild> !nvidia | matkix0s
[11:26] <ubotu> matkix0s: please see above
[11:26] <bipolar> !fglrx | waseem
[11:26] <ubotu> waseem: please see above
[11:26] <Ltar> vox754: a proper what?
[11:26] <matkix0s> gotchya
[11:26] <bipolar> waseem: the drivers are in ubuntu already. you just have to install them.
[11:26] <matkix0s> One last question, has anyone ever installed kernal-devel I would really like to have it.
[11:26] <waseem> bipolar: how do i install them?
[11:26] <Robby> LadyNikon: from where?
[11:26] <LadyNikon> Robby: the livecd?
[11:27] <robbie_cras1> when trying to login, gnome crashes and gives me an error telling me it cannot create the dir ~/gnome2 or /home/robbie/gnome2 so I cannot log in, how can I fix this??
[11:27] <vox754> Ltar: the text file "/etc/fstab" lists your partitions filesystems so you can mount them correctly, this options are passed right away to the "mount" commands.
[11:27] <Robby> oh do i boot from disk or just run in in windows?
[11:27] <Evil_`> Anyone know why people can't see the things I put in 'htdocs' with lampp?
[11:27] <|pr3vi0uz|> pricechild would anyone know how i can change my screen resolution  because my monitor  does 1400*900
[11:27] <Robby> LadyNikon: oh do i boot from disk or just run in in windows?
[11:27] <PriceChild> |pr3vi0uz|, I don't know sorry.
[11:27] <LadyNikon> Robby: disk
[11:28] <PriceChild> |pr3vi0uz|, I guess editing your xorg.conf Maybe if you install the nvidia drivers, nvidia-settings can do ti for you
[11:28] <Robby> LadyNikon: thnx a bunch
[11:28] <erisco> I am looking for a media converter... trying to take a high quality wav and I want to convert it to ogg/mp3 etc

[11:28] <Jetfighter> How do I run a linux.sh file as an app?
[11:29] <omoore> i was asking about a free software cd burning software package earlier for my friend needing to burn an ubuntu image to cd. For those who care, I ran across imgburn at imgburn.com. Worked like a charm for him.
[11:29] <|pr3vi0uz|> sh linux. run
[11:29] <Jetfighter> ?
[11:29] <vox754> Ltar: what I mean is that you need to enter a line describing your NTFS file system, the partition and the mount point. Come here #vocx
[11:29] <robbie_cras1> Jetfighter: from the command line
[11:29] <robbie_cras1> go to that dir
[11:29] <Jetfighter> uhhh?
[11:29] <robbie_cras1> and type sh linux. run
[11:29] <robbie_cras1> Open a terminal window
[11:29] <koala> what is best editor for develop web pages in ubuntu edgy?
[11:29] <Comrade-Sergei> preaction i just called frontier, they said i was in fact on a 256 kbps line but offered a 1 mbps line for $39.99 lol!
[11:29] <robbie_cras1> !best
[11:29] <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.
[11:30] <Comrade-Sergei> koala screem or trellian
[11:30] <chris2077> im so glad ubuntu was my first iso download, they take forever, i got the vector beryl edition about an hour ago and imo it was a waste of a download
[11:30] <oops> if anyone could find it in their hearts to write me or redirect me to a Ralink Card installation guide for a complete newbie
[11:30] <|pr3vi0uz|> jetfigther you might need to do sudo sh linux. run
[11:30] <oops> it would be great
[11:30] <erisco> thanks robbie_cras1 :)

[11:30] <preaction> koala: do you want wysiwyg or text editor?
[11:30] <robbie_cras1> so open terminal

[11:30] <ubotu> koala: html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build webpages. Editors in Ubuntu: Bluefish, Quanta+, Screem, and Nvu. For howto on HTML coding, see: http://www.w3schools.com
[11:30] <Jetfighter> I did
[11:30] <PriceChild> Jetfighter, ./linuxfile.sh will run it
[11:30] <mlalkaka> PriceChild: thanks for the help :-). cya
[11:30] <Comrade-Sergei> oops i would but thats proprietary
[11:30] <bipolar> waseem: put the error message in pastebin.ca and post the link here
[11:30] <preaction> koala: i hear bluefish is nice for wysiwyg. vim is Gods Own Text Editor
[11:31] <Jetfighter> like flename.linux.sh?
[11:31] <oops> Comrade-Sergei: huh?
[11:31] <robbie_cras1> and do cd ~/Desktop and then do ./sh <filename> run
[11:31] <piratewench> hello, im new to linux, just installed edgy and the nvidia drivers following this guide, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia, and i was wondering how i could verify the drivers are working, and also the resolutions listed in system > prefs > resolutions doesnt include my wide monitor's native res, help please?
[11:31] <|pr3vi0uz|> does ubuntu even support pci-express  yet ?
[11:31] <Comrade-Sergei> oops isnt that a proprietary wifi pc card?
[11:31] <tont> PriceChild: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9918/ work the two cpu? to me it seems no..
[11:31] <robbie_cras1> er, ./sh < filename > run
[11:32] <oops> Comrade-Sergei: what do you mean by proprietary? it was supposed to be installed out of the box yes, but it's not working
[11:32] <robbie_cras1> I can't tell if that's coming through or not because gaim is being a jerk and trying to render anything in angle brackets
[11:32] <PriceChild> tont, meh... actually I don't think that command does it sorry
[11:32] <koala> wysiwyg only for design (tables, images, etc.).source code i going to write manualy  ( i'm not best designer )
[11:32] <Jetfighter> ./sh runMoparScape-linux.sh run ?
[11:32] <preaction> |pr3vi0uz|: that would be a kernel issue, and the linux kernel is usually very up-to-date
[11:32] <koala> preaction: thanks i going to test bluefish
[11:33] <preaction> koala: also, for images, inkscape is a very nice vector graphics program (when it doesn't crash, which isn't often really)
[11:33] <tont> PriceChild: ok..thanks ;)
[11:33] <Comrade-Sergei> oops its not a regiestered IEEE 802.11 spec ( ie wifi a.b.g.n)
[11:33] <emet> !beep
[11:33] <xenex60421> how do i play streams with xmms?
[11:33] <ubotu> beep: advanced pc-speaker beeper. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.2-18 (edgy), package size 20 kB, installed size 104 kB
[11:33] <Jetfighter> ./sh runMoparScape-linux.sh run is right???????????????????????????????????????????????????
[11:33] <emet> !beep-player
[11:33] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about beep-player - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:33] <|pr3vi0uz|> preaction what is the lastest kernel?
[11:33] <ardchoille> Jetfighter: no: sh file.sh
[11:33] <preaction> |pr3vi0uz|: http://kernel.org
[11:34] <emet> 2.6.20
[11:34] <robbie_cras1> is the filename runMoparScape-Linux.sh
[11:34] <Jetfighter> Yes
[11:34] <oops> Comrade-Sergei: hum so? can't get it to work? im not quite following you
[11:34] <DM|> Another question. I run a couple routers in my house, and i want to connect to a computer that is in my house from lets say work.. how would i do so.
[11:34] <piratewench> how can i verify the nvidia drivers i installed according to this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia are working?
[11:34] <ardchoille> Jetfighter: ./sh  <-- that'll try to execute the file named 'sh'
[11:34] <chris2077> how do you get a song to play in terminatorX ?
[11:34] <Comrade-Sergei> oops it may not be supported by ubuntu, it may have a driver on their website, what brand did you say it was?
[11:34] <robbie_cras1> ./sh runMoparScape-Linux.sh
[11:35] <Comrade-Sergei> oops i assume you just need a driver
[11:35] <oops> Ralink rt2500
[11:35] <emet> ./runMoparScape-Linux.sh work too
[11:35] <oops> it IS installed out of the box
[11:35] <Jetfighter> Says no such file or directory
[11:35] <emet> do chmod +x runMoparScape-Linux.sh
[11:35] <ardchoille> robbie_cras1: you don't need the './' with sh. It's just 'sh file.sh' or ./file.sh
[11:35] <oops> yea, but thats what I need
[11:35] <ardchoille> Jetfighter: ./sh  <-- that'll try to execute the file named 'sh'
[11:35] <robbie_cras1> ardchoille: oh, thanks
[11:35] <oops> im a complete newbie and I need to redirected
[11:35] <oops> or given
[11:35] <oops> a complete guide on how to do it
[11:36] <robbie_cras1> Jetfighter: did you cd to that directory?
[11:36] <plyskin> whats the closet program like winamp?
[11:36] <oops> ah, and one that does now require a ethernet connection
[11:36] <Comrade-Sergei> oops, no  unless it is plug and play you will need some sort of driver (even if it was pnp id  still need one but its not as obvious)
[11:36] <cafuego_> xmms
[11:36] <cafuego_> plyskin: ^^
[11:36] <xenex60421> cafuego: do you know how to play streams in xmms?
[11:36] <preaction> plyskin: xmms is closest, rhythmbox is better though
[11:36] <robbie_cras1> plyskin: rhythmbox works like winamp5
[11:36] <piratewench> sudo dpkg -reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[11:36] <piratewench> whoops
[11:36] <plyskin> ah, using amarok now
[11:36] <robbie_cras1> but it's not skinnable like it
[11:36] <bimberi> tont, PriceChild: type 1 while top is displayed and it will show 1 line for each processor (if applicable)
[11:36] <ardchoille> robbie_cras1: I think he ran './sh file.sh' which won't work because the system can't execute the file called 'sh'
[11:36] <plyskin> its pretty cool
[11:36] <cafuego_> xenex60421: Play>Location
[11:36] <PriceChild> bimberi, thanks for that :)
[11:36] <Comrade-Sergei> oops it looks like a wireless G card good thing
[11:37] <xenex60421> cafuego: I tried that but it wouldn't work
[11:37] <|pr3vi0uz|> how hard is it to update the kernel i know i cant run in xserver so i have  to do ctrl+alt and f1  then do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop but from that point  what do i do ?
[11:37] <bimberi> PriceChild: np :)
[11:37] <xenex60421> cafuego: I'm trying to play this URL http://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/shoutcast-playlist.pls?rn=5548&file=filename.pls
[11:37] <robbie_cras1> ardchoille: because it already knows it's looking for a .sh file so if the file were named file.sh.sh it would run but since it's already running an sh file it's just looking for filename not filename.sh?
[11:37] <Jetfighter> ok
[11:38] <robbie_cras1> *already trying to run an sh file
[11:38] <Comrade-Sergei> oops : http://home.bb-zone.com/index.php/Ralink_RT2500_Linux_Howto
[11:38] <ardchoille> robbie_cras1: ./sh file.sh  won't work because that tells the system to execute a file named 'sh', but there isn't a file named sh there.
[11:38] <Jetfighter> In my directory called Desktop, it shows runMoparScape-linux.sh  and I need to run that
[11:38] <preaction> robbie_cras1: that's not correct. "./sh file.sh" means execute a file named "sh" in the current directory with an argument "file.sh"
[11:38] <cafuego_> You got the ./ in front of the wrong part
[11:38] <robbie_cras1> ahhh, I get it
[11:38] <PriceChild> Comrade-Sergei, rt2500's are good to go in ubuntu ;)
[11:38] <ardchoille> cd Desktop && Jetfighter: sh runMoparScape-linux.sh
[11:39] <robbie_cras1> thanks ardchoille and preaction
[11:39] <DeL3e7> hey cafuego how would i go about turning that ip range list into hosts.deny format? aka add "ALL: "
[11:39] <ardchoille> Jetfighter: cd Desktop && Jetfighter: sh runMoparScape-linux.sh
[11:39] <Comrade-Sergei> PriceChild then whats his problem
[11:39] <|pr3vi0uz|> how hard is it to update the kernel i know i cant run in xserver so i have  to do ctrl+alt and f1  then do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop but from that point  what do i do ?
[11:39] <ardchoille> ignore the second 'jetfighter'
[11:39] <cafuego_> DeL3e7: what, you have just a list of IPs now?
[11:39] <DeL3e7> yup
[11:39] <madsrh> Can I install xgl/compiz from the synaptic???
[11:39] <DeL3e7> and ranges
[11:39] <PriceChild> madsrh, > #ubuntu-effects please
[11:39] <madsrh> sorry
[11:39] <DeL3e7> or should i use iptables?
[11:39] <plyskin> I closed Amarok but the shoutcast is still playing.... how do I force it to stop?
[11:39] <robbie_cras1> Soooo, how do I change my homedir permissions so that I can log in??
[11:39] <Jetfighter> It worked, thanks
[11:39] <preaction> |pr3vi0uz|: you can update the kernel in x just fine. you just have to reboot to load the new kernel
[11:40] <ardchoille> robbie_cras1: You can't log in?
[11:40] <robbie_cras1> sudo chown robbie:robbie -R /home/robbie didn't work
[11:40] <robbie_cras1> nope
[11:40] <cafuego_> DeL3e7: sudo iptables -N CUSTOM_BLOCK for host in `cat listing`; do sudo iptables -A CUSTOM_BLOCK -s "${host}" -j DROP; done
[11:40] <Jetfighter> Oh damn
[11:40] <ardchoille> robbie_cras1: Can you get to a tty and sudo?
[11:40] <bipolar> plyskin: check your system tray. it's probbly still running.
[11:40] <cafuego_> DeL3e7: then at your leasure, route stuff via the CUSTOM_BLOCK chain.
[11:41] <DeL3e7> whoah
[11:41] <plyskin> bipolar: nope its not
[11:41] <plyskin> first thing I checked
[11:41] <jessica> hmmm
[11:41] <robbie_cras1> ardchoille: when I try it says: unable to create ~/.gnome2 : permission denied
[11:41] <|pr3vi0uz|> ok question preaction   i extracted from .bz2 to deaktop how would i apply this
[11:41] <ardchoille> robbie_cras1: Ouch
[11:42] <Jetfighter> wtf?
[11:42] <preaction> |pr3vi0uz|: you have to compile it. why are you doing this?
[11:42] <robbie_cras1> ardchoille: I can get to a terminal and login and run fine from there, but logging in under gdm doesn't work
[11:42] <ardchoille> robbie_cras1: ls -la ~/.*authority   <-- see if either of those files is owned by root
[11:42] <gubluntu> how do i block someone from spamming me with attemps to login over ssh?
[11:42] <waseem> ive done everything i can to make this video card work, but im not really familiar with linux. can anyone help me step-by-step?
[11:42] <DeL3e7> heh
[11:43] <DeL3e7> whoopz
[11:43] <robbie_cras1> ardchoille: no such file or dir
[11:43] <|pr3vi0uz|> cause i wanna  install  the nvidia drivers  but i tried last night  and  it didnt work  because the kernel wasn't uptodate
[11:43] <DeL3e7> list too long
[11:43] <preaction> |pr3vi0uz|: and where did you get these nvidia drivers from?
[11:43] <LjL> gubluntu: if they're always from the same address, add that to /etc/hosts.deny i suppose
[11:43] <|pr3vi0uz|> nividia  website
[11:43] <|pr3vi0uz|> typo
[11:43] <shatrat> |pr3vi0uz|, sounds to me like you just didnt hve the kernel headers and source packages installed
[11:43] <DeL3e7> guess hosts.dney is my only option
[11:43] <ardchoille> robbie_cras1: Not what I suspected, then.
[11:44] <matkix0s> I'm aware there is some command you can use to enable dual monitors... can anyone link me to a site with that info?
[11:44] <preaction> |pr3vi0uz|: it's nice to put my name in front when you're talking to me. also, why not use the nvidia driver in the repositories?
[11:44] <LjL> !dualhead > matkix0s    (matkix0s, see the private message from Ubotu)
[11:44] <preaction> !nvidia | |pr3vi0uz|
[11:44] <ubotu> |pr3vi0uz|: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:44] <|pr3vi0uz|> sorry preaction
[11:44] <Halitech> gubluntu - change the port ssh is running on in your router (if you have one) then port forward it
[11:44] <bipolar> waseem: you said the ati drivers (fglrx) were interfering with the nvidia drivers. how did the nvidia drivers get installed? you need to provide more details.
[11:44] <cafuego_> You're probably after xinerama, which is not a command.
[11:44] <shatrat> |pr3vi0uz|, http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Latest_Nvidia_Edgy#METHOD_2  to install the latest drivers manualy
[11:45] <waseem> bipolar: i installed the nvidia drivers a while ago when i used to have them, then i replaced it with a new radeon video card that i bought a while ago
[11:45] <arooni> can i get yahoo widgets on my ubuntu linux?
[11:46] <Jetfighter> hmmm
[11:46] <robbie_cras1> if I do $ chmod 777 /home/robbie I can log in
[11:46] <DeL3e7> can u help me add   "ALL: " into my iprangelist?
[11:46] <octoberdan> I currenty running Debian, but I want to switch over to ubuntu. Is there a way to upgrade without having to install ubuntu fresh?

[11:56] <octoberdan> I was told I could upgrade from debian to ubuntu by changing my sources.list and then doign a dist-upgrade. Are there any dangerous doing that?
[11:56] <waseem> bipolar: i never get any replies on pastebin
[11:56] <twister> bipolar: i plug in the docking station, and the display goes to the monitor and everything locks up
[11:56] <Jetfighter> How can I test like a forum software on my computer, but uploading to my site? Please?
[11:56] <Jetfighter> before*
[11:56] <n-iCe> Halitech,  let me connect it
[11:56] <twister> no keyboard or mouse work, on the laptop, or external
[11:57] <Hatty> Jetfighter: apache httpd
[11:57] <Jetfighter> How can I use that?
[11:57] <bipolar> waseem: what do you mean? go to pastebin.ca, paste your error into it, then post it. when you post it, paste the link to the post here so I can look at it.
[11:57] <Robbie_Crash> rtfm?
[11:57] <Halitech> Jetfighter - download it, install it and then set it up
[11:57] <matkix0s> I'm having no luck figuring out what command to issue the nvidia driver to enable both of my screens in cent os 4.4 I just issues one command and rebooted and everything worked...
[11:57] <Hatty> Jetfighter:  thre are tonnes of tutorials on the net
[11:57] <assasukasse> find /boot/grub/stage1 returns error

[11:58] <erateca> Hi, I have just changed to ubuntu and am a total newbie... I don't know if this is a stupid question but how can I make a shortcut to a folder in the desktop??
[11:58] <matkix0s> Anyone willing to help please pm me! thank you...
[11:58] <erateca> I tried with make link... but it gave me an error
[11:58] <twister> bipolar: are you able to plug the laptop into the docking station while running and have everything work?
[11:58] <N3rg4r> !w32codecs
[11:58] <ubotu> Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages, including the win32 codecs: see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - See also !Codecs
[11:58] <Jetfighter> Eratica, copy to your desktop folder?
[11:58] <vox754> assasukasse: probably because the Windows disk had grub, so you just follow the steps without finding the stage1, just install it on the current drive "hd0"
[11:58] <madsrh> how do I disable the logon when returning from standby??? Anyone?
[11:58] <PriceChild> erateca, middle click drag a folder from somewhere to the desktop
[11:59] <waseem> bipolar: oh wow sorry i didnt know thats what you were supposed to do:  http://pastebin.ca/391173
[11:59] <Jetfighter> Hello?
[11:59] <PriceChild> hi?
[11:59] <lisapc> my sound was working great, but i did an upgrade of ubuntu! but now i got no sound.  what can I do?  anyone know?
[12:00] <erateca> thanks guys it worked!
[12:00] <PriceChild> erateca, which one?
[12:00] <Jetfighter> Lol, how can I take screenshots?
[12:00] <bipolar> waseem: it looks like the nvidia driver was installed manualy, so you'll have to manualy remove it.
[12:00] <Cyco> does anyone care to have a conversation about ubuntu speed and tweaking?
[12:00] <shatrat> Jetfighter, print screen key
[12:00] <hollywoodb> Jetfighter: print screen, or the gimp can do it as well
[12:00] <JordiGH> Where can I begin reading about how to get my XBox gamepad working in Ubuntu? The cabling is already ready and it works under another popular OS.
[12:00] <Jetfighter> What do I do once I print screen?
[12:00] <waseem> bipolar: plus theres the problem of me not being able to apt-get install any packages
