[12:01] <kkerwin> Anyone? On Edgy, please try in python: import sys; print sys.prefix
[12:01] <madmike_> Ryugin, you should be able to burn a recovery-CD from your rescue-partiton. Just don't ask me how. I'm not expert on the details
[12:02] <hekar> kkerwin: i get '/usr'
[12:02] <Ryugin> Yea. I can.
[12:02] <Ryugin> I did earlier.
[12:02] <kkerwin> hekar: On Edgy, yes? Feisty seems to print /usr
[12:02] <madmike_> okay
[12:02] <hekar> kkerwin: yes on edgy
[12:02] <kkerwin> hekar: Thank you. Just wanted to clarify.
[12:03] <hekar> kkerwin: np

[12:09] <madmike_> gparted problem could be more serious... do you got a brand new computer?
[12:09] <furenku_> Can anybody tell me why the command "make" or "./configure" is not recognized??
[12:09] <NickGarvey> !info build-essential | furenku_
[12:09] <ubotu> furenku_: build-essential: informational list of build-essential packages. In component main, is optional. Version 11.3 (edgy), package size 6 kB, installed size 48 kB
[12:09] <sirkism> that program might not need to be configured
[12:09] <Ryugin> Yes. My computer is brand new. A compaq.

[12:09] <whta> anyone know how i can access the amsn upgrade through synaptic?

[12:09] <Ryugin> It came with windows vista home basic. Got it about a month ago.
[12:09] <furenku_> thankj you very much
[12:10] <madmike_> Ryugin, it *could* be that you harddrive controler isn't support by the kernel yet
[12:10] <ber1> what was with all the "@@@@@@@"s before??
[12:10] <LjL> ber1: bot attack
[12:10] <Ryugin> Hmm. I have no idea.
[12:10] <ber1> ljl, oh ok
[12:10] <gnomefreak> LjL: bot attack at same time large net split?
[12:11] <madmike_> Ryugin, maybe try to download a beta-version of ubuntu-feisty-fawn live-cd and try gparted again
[12:11] <|alex|> Hey everyone :)
[12:11] <_-alex-_> gines?
[12:11] <nexous_> Hi, Whenever I run sudo /etc/init.d/proftpd start it fails, How can I figure out whats wrong with it? My conf file has proper syntax.
[12:11] <_-alex-_> What are gtk engines?
[12:11] <LjL> gnomefreak: uh, no, i think he's talking about earlier. like two hours ago (not sure) we had clonebots filling the channel with @'s
[12:11] <_-alex-_> What exactly do they do?
[12:11] <dougsko> nexous_: whats it say when it fails?
[12:11] <mike> how do i print to a printer on my network?
[12:11] <furenku_> the thing is, when i enter the "make" command, i get this: "No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop."
[12:11] <Ryugin> Oh yeah. That might work. Because the Gparted version on the live CD I have is 0.1
[12:11] <gnomefreak> LjL: ah ok
[12:11] <nexous_> dougsko: nothing, thats why.
[12:11] <dougsko> !cups > mike
[12:11] <Redhammer_the_Ol> hello can someone help me with suspend to ram
[12:12] <mike> dougsko, ye abut i dont get how to get the url for my printer..
[12:12] <hansen> hi. Can anyone tell me which package I need to install to get the opengl man pages?
[12:12] <mike> my other printer is hooked up to a mac
[12:12] <_-alex-_> I was wondering what GTK engines are and what exactly they do or what purpose they serve. :)
[12:12] <_-alex-_> Anyone?
[12:12] <Redhammer_the_Ol> my core 2 duo, via880 chipset mobo, 1gig ram, 2gig swap file, nvidia 7900gto, ubuntu 6.10 will not suspend
[12:12] <dougsko> nexous_: try this: 'sudo sh -x /etc/init.d/proftpd start' . that will show you line by line what the script is doing
[12:12] <dougsko> mike: yis your network using DHCP?
[12:13] <madmike_> Ryugin, thats pretty common with open-source projekts... people rarly put 1.0 versions out because they still want to polish their babies ;)
[12:13] <mike> dougsko, no clue
[12:13] <nexous_> + printf fail <linebreak> fail+ /usr/bin/tput op
[12:13] <Ryugin> Lol.
[12:13] <dougsko> mike: if it really is a network printer, youll have to check you printer documentation to see how to set it up
[12:13] <napster> ewurah, wats up?
[12:13] <mike> dougsko, well its aprinter on anothe rcomputer on my network
[12:14] <dougsko> mike: once you have it up and you can ping it and stuff, then set up cups
[12:14] <_-alex-_> :)
[12:14] <mrsayers> is this safe : CPU Temp: +142.7F
[12:14] <mike> dougsko, how do i set it up i am soo lost
[12:14] <madmike_> Ryugin, I wish you best luck with the beta... maybe if you manage to get your hands on a more 'dated' computer or maybe in half a year you hardware on your new compaq will be supported (if the beta still doesn't support it now)
[12:14] <andrer> i am trying to install nxserver on a amd64 ubuntu 7... is there any packages for libstdc++ 32bit compatibility?
[12:15] <Redhammer_the_Ol> @mrsaysers its borderline
[12:15] <jrib> mrsayers: #hardware may be more appropriate
[12:15] <Redhammer_the_Ol> it is too high for my liking, but what cpu have you got
[12:15] <Ryugin> madmike: Thanks again, I think I'm gonna exit Ubuntu now and download Feisty Fawn. And also I'm gonna figure out what type of drive I'm using, hopefully I'll eventually will be able to install Ubuntu.
[12:15] <mrsayers> jrib, It's a small question which I can fix myself :)
[12:15] <Ryugin> Bye.
[12:15] <madmike_> Ryugin, good luck

[12:18] <Redhammer_the_Ol> tonyrome: you need to change ownership sudo chown then your files and username ; use man chown for exact syntax
[12:19] <tonyrome> redhammer, man chown?
[12:19] <hekar> Redhammer_the_Ol: I think thats the nvidia-glx driver that disables suspend in gnome
[12:19] <Redhammer_the_Ol> tonyrome: yes = man is the command that pulls up the in built menus
[12:20] <Redhammer_the_Ol> @hekar aha, anyway of reabling

[12:22] <Laibsch> tehmuppetmaster: Do you have swap files?
[12:22] <ewurah> LjL, are u back?
[12:22] <_-alex-_> It's a fairly simple question
[12:22] <whta> on my xgl session, there is no shut down or restart button. only log off, switch user, hibernate, etc.
[12:22] <LjL> ewurah: yes
[12:22] <hekar> whats the question alex?
[12:22] <_-alex-_> What is a GTK engine and what does it do?
[12:23] <Animatic> !gtk
[12:23] <ubotu> GTK is the !GIMP toolkit, which forms the base of !GNOME and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI
[12:23] <_-alex-_> Because on gnomeart you can download
[12:23] <_-alex-_> them
[12:23] <_-alex-_> Would installing one mess Beryl up?
[12:23] <tehmuppetmaster> I have a swap partition
[12:23] <hekar> alex: they provide a template for skins to be built off of, kind of like a game engine
[12:23] <_-alex-_> ok
[12:23] <AnRkey> _-alex-_ it's for xwindows gui stuff
[12:23] <AnRkey> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gtk
[12:23] <_-alex-_> so nothing really for the asverage user?
[12:24] <hekar> alex: no it wont harm beryl
[12:24] <ewurah> LjL, i am the same as napster just that napster isnt registered so i will use ewurah from now
[12:24] <_-alex-_> all: Is it worth taking a look at?
[12:24] <sogen> can someone help me ?
[12:24] <hekar> alex: well if you want a theme that is based off a engine you do not have, you need to install it
[12:24] <AnRkey> _-alex-_ some apps require that u have the libs for gtk installed
[12:24] <_-alex-_> ah
[12:24] <sogen> can someone help me ?
[12:24] <_-alex-_> Thank you :)
[12:25] <hekar> np
[12:25] <cliebow> sogen:what up?
[12:25] <sogen> can someone help me ?
[12:25] <AnRkey> _-alex-_: if you install something through synaptics it should install what u need for u
[12:25] <sogen> cliebow: how  i can burn cd ?
[12:25] <_-alex-_> yeah, i love synaptic
[12:25] <_-alex-_> yum is pure shit

[12:26] <Laibsch> I have a CF wireless card I use with my Thinkpad X24.  It usually works but sometimes I get "Failed to read scan data : Resource temporarily unavailable" when doing "iwlist eth1 scan".  For the life of me I cannot figure the reason for this erratic behaviour.  Of course this is the shits when on the road and unexpectedly being unable to connect to the Internet.  Anybody have an idea where to look?
[12:26] <sogen> xcdroast - aye
[12:26] <AndersjeToo> is there any way to keep the gnome-panel from being altered?
[12:26] <AndersjeToo> my toddler likes to play gcompris, but gets a little whacky with the wheelmouse and moves things around...
[12:26] <_-alex-_> I have another question. How do I theme gnome-panel? Say the color scheme of it.
[12:26] <AnRkey> _-alex-_: don't swear mate, we have kids in here with us!
[12:26] <hekar> lol im a kid and i dont care
[12:27] <_-alex-_> Sorry, didn't realize.
[12:27] <dooglus> AnRkey: right-click on things and say 'lock'?
[12:27] <dooglus> um - that was for AndersjeToo
[12:27] <_-alex-_> So anyone know how to theme the gnome-panel?
[12:27] <mrwhite> hi, i am trying to setup postfix. everything looks fine. except that i want mails to go into ~/Maildir insteac of /var/mail/username
[12:27] <_-alex-_> Or is it a question better asked in the forum?
[12:27] <hekar> alex: im not sure but right click the panel, then properties lets you change the colours
[12:28] <AnRkey> dooglus: i shouldn't have to, can't we all just be nice :)
[12:28] <_-alex-_> Yeah but I've seen really pimped out panels
[12:28] <dooglus> AnRkey: huh?
[12:28] <AndersjeToo> dooglus:  doesn't keep the panel from being moved.
[12:28] <AndersjeToo> also, if gcompris crashes, the icons get reorganized into a random pattern
[12:28] <dooglus> AndersjeToo: oh, I see.  the panel itself is moved.  hmmm
[12:28] <_-alex-_> And the theme also applied to the File Edit Options bar
[12:28] <hekar> alex: yea those are from themes that do the pimping for you
[12:29] <ewurah> LjL, see u later i am out.thanks for the help
[12:29] <AnRkey> dooglus: soz, misunderstood :D lol
[12:29] <dooglus> AnRkey: I wasn't really talking to you - I got the name wrong, sorry.
[12:29] <AndersjeToo> even when icons are "locked", they get moved around by resolution changes, and do not return to original positions when resolution is set back to the original settings
[12:29] <_-alex-_> hekar: What kind of themes?Where to get them?
[12:29] <sogen> cliebow: i think is that probram hengs
[12:29] <hekar> alex: like some of the themes from gnome-look.org
[12:30] <cliebow> sogen: thtere are others.i use xcdroast most
[12:30] <_-alex-_> I can find window decorations and such
[12:30] <oswal200> hi somebody can help me with xnest and gdm?
[12:30] <_-alex-_> but what menu am i looking for?
[12:30] <ferret_0568> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=399775
[12:30] <LinuxProbie> Ok, my sound is acting wierd. When I;m playing an audio file, it will play for a few seconds, then go silent for a second or so, then continue playing. It's not a skip because the audio that should have played during the period of silence never gets played.
[12:30] <jvai_> hey uall, i found a cool networking tool for ubuntu/debian called autoscan -> http://autoscan.fr/
[12:30] <sogen> cliebow: but it looking for cd rom divice from 5 mins :(
[12:30] <xtknight> ewurah, hey
[12:30] <hekar> alex: oh just gtk2 themes, they can change the menu and panel settings
[12:30] <AnRkey> I must admit that the icons moving around even when locks are in place bug me too. I wonder if there is a way to get the icons to auto allign to the side
[12:31] <AndersjeToo> AnRkey: not that I've found
[12:31] <cliebow> sogen: ad it manually..you sdburnder is perhaps /dev/hda3?

[12:32] <AndersjeToo> AnRkey, I'll put something in later.

[12:34] <AnRkey> AndersjeToo: my current biggest problem is support for MX518 mice from logitech. We sooooo need a gui to do all that setup work. I know how u feel about the icons thing... we will get there though :)

[12:41] <hekar> Slart: nice i settled for wolfenstein et and true combat elite

[12:42] <mrsayers> safer, I have the same problem
[12:42] <AnRkey> ok bye every1
[12:42] <mrsayers> safer, Do you have to press the button when you think it's all done?
[12:42] <xtknight> safer, ah cool
[12:42] <safer> mrsayers: yes I do!!!
[12:42] <hekar> Slart: yes, true combat elite is mod, really good it just requires patience

[12:43] <safer> mrsayers: yes
[12:43] <OuZo_> how do i check if i have glut installed? thanks
[12:44] <mrsayers> safer, What happens when you type it, because my BIos or what not does not like acpi. So I am not remotely good with it.
[12:45] <_-alex-_> I'm unable to install themes. It keeps saying the file format is invalid. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
[12:45] <jrib> _-alex-_: it is probably an issue with the theme.  Link please?
[12:45] <safer> mrsayers: I don't understand what you mean (last statement)
[12:45] <mrsayers> safer, in the terminal what happens when you type acpi
[12:45] <safer> mrsayers: there must be some solution on google for this maybe?
[12:46] <chable> hello
[12:46] <mrsayers> safer, or the forums , most likely. I need to go tho, see ya later.
[12:46] <safer> mrsayers: later

[12:48] <furenku> Can anybody help me with cmake?? i need to specify the location of my kde files, don't know how, thou...
[12:48] <chable> it doesnt load the install cd
[12:48] <_-alex-_> jrip: any ideas?
[12:48] <_-alex-_> jrib: any ideas?*
[12:48] <chable> i dont know
[12:48] <chable> its either the videocard
[12:48] <hekar> chable: press f6 at the cd menu, and remove 'quiet splash' then add verbose
[12:48] <jrib> _-alex-_: let me try ( you need to highlight me or I will miss what you say)
[12:49] <hekar> chable: i think it is the videocard
[12:49] <chable> hmm
[12:49] <hekar> chable: my x700 has the same problem
[12:49] <chable> i tried to install the ubuntu server

[12:49] <chable> stoopid ABit :(
[12:49] <jvai_> hey uall, i found a cool networking tool for ubuntu/debian called autoscan -> http://autoscan.fr/

[12:50] <EADG> Help with ln (link) please... made a link to /var/lib/123/index.html in my home dir, but when using the link web browser does not display the other html files in the /123 dir. Clicking on the index.html does though. How to fix??
[12:50] <chable> i should buy this hardware
[12:50] <chable> shouldnt*
[12:50] <alexnb185> guys I have a question.. i am in terminal and trying to follow a guide to get my wireless adapter to work.. i am using the lshw command and it asks for a password... only it doens' t let me type anything??? got any ideas
[12:51] <jrib> _-alex-_: this is not a simple theme to install, it uses a custom engine
[12:51] <chable> the asus i had ran flawless
[12:51] <alexnb185> jrib: what does that mean to me??
[12:51] <AndersjeToo> alexnb185: it's merely failing to echo your password back to you
[12:51] <_-alex-_> ah, okay
[12:51] <AndersjeToo> alexnb185: just type your regular password and hit enter.  All should work.
[12:52] <jrib> alexnb185: it means the engine needs to be compiled and installed for the theme to work correcty.  Inside the file you downloaded, there is a theme and there is an engine
[12:52] <alexnb185> so how do I fix it?
[12:52] <_-alex-_> What about the theme: Neutronium?
[12:52] <alexnb185> well it doesn't
[12:52] <AndersjeToo> alexnb185: by default passwords are NOT echo'd back to people as they type them.  It's a security feature
[12:52] <alexnb185> it doesn't let me type anything
[12:52] <jrib> _-alex-_: you need to link me
[12:52] <AndersjeToo> alexnb185: are you sure you're typing your password correctly?  Are you saying that when you hit "enter" nothing happens?
[12:52] <bruenig> alexnb185, type it and then hit enter, even if it isn't showing anything
[12:52] <hekar> chable: theres no easy way to get your network card but this is a gentoo link that might help you, http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_RTL8168
[12:52] <TrioTorus> how to tell what ubuntu version I'm in in a script?
[12:52] <chable> thank you hekar

[12:53] <alexnb185> no I am saying i can hit every key on the keyboard and no text appears on the screen... but when I hit enter... it says sorry, incorrect password
[12:53] <bruenig> TrioTorus, are you looking for the nickname or the version number, like edgy or 6.10
[12:53] <jrib> alexnb185: erm, our conversations got a bit mixed up before :)  Ignore anything I addressed to you, it was meant for _-alex-_
[12:53] <alexnb185> oh really?

[12:53] <sotec> thanks xtknight
[12:53] <AndersjeToo> alexnb185:  I don't know that you read what I said.  Just type your password and hit enter :)
[12:53] <chable> but 2.6.17 doesnt
[12:53] <TrioTorus> bruenig: the nickname of the distro
[12:53] <chable> ive managed to install suse
[12:53] <_-alex-_> http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Neutronium?content=46153
[12:53] <xtknight> Edgy Eft
[12:53] <sotec> alexnb, you don't get the little *****'s when you type passwords in Terminal
[12:53] <chable> but i dont like suse
[12:53] <sotec> more secure
[12:53] <hekar> chable: :D nice then download deb file from another computer and put it on a cd
[12:54] <hekar> chable: suse is over bloated
[12:54] <_-alex-_> brb
[12:54] <chable> what that means ?

[12:55] <chable> im gonna buy another motherboard
[12:55] <chable> and a Nvidia vga
[12:55] <chable> this abit makes me crazy
[12:55] <TrioTorus> bruenig: that's a mouthfull, but thanks!
[12:55] <Lord_Vader> chable, vga?
[12:55] <timbo8> does any one here use xampp?
[12:55] <jrib> _-alex-_: you need to extract the files inside the archive you downloaded, then in each folder, you will find an "instructions" file that contains instructions on how to install the theme.  If you do not use beryl, ignore the beryl folder...
[12:55] <chable> videocard Lord_Vader
[12:55] <hekar> chable: lol im searching for the file you need
[12:55] <chable> hekar i cant stand it anymore
[12:56] <chable> in trying to install linux from 1 month
[12:56] <AndersjeToo> chable: I've never liked abit
[12:56] <chable> im gonna throw this stoopid hardware over that wall in the front of my block
[12:56] <chable> well
[12:56] <Lord_Vader> chable, ahh I would say gpu/gfx or something. cause vga can mean lots of different things, like analog video cable for crt-monitor or vga graphics (256 colours) :P
[12:56] <chable> ive listened what a COMPUTER SPECIALIST told me
[12:56] <chable> this wannabe
[12:57] <hekar> chable: lol okay then get a motherboard with an nvidia chipset from asus you shouldnt be dissappointed
[12:57] <chable> i wanted to buy intel
[12:57] <AndersjeToo> does kernel 2.6.17-11 have "user level driver support" compiled in?
[12:57] <chable> and he said nooo intel are buggy
[12:57] <chable> get abit
[12:57] <xtknight> intel isn't buggy.  it's the most stable out there
[12:57] <chable> this is what i said too Xteven
[12:57] <chable> xtknight sorry
[12:57] <Slart> aren't intel one of the few that has open specs for some of their stuff
[12:57] <hekar> yeah i have an intel thats 5 years old and still running
[12:57] <timbo8> does any one here use xampp, i need some help!!!
[12:57] <xtknight> AndersjeToo, what is the kernel config option name?
[12:58] <AndersjeToo> hekar, chable: be warned, the Asus barebones systems are nice, but finicky.  FC6 works great, but only the most recent Feisty will boot on them, and then not always
[12:58] <chable> i dont like fedora AndersjeToo
[12:58] <AndersjeToo> xtknight:  looking that up
[12:58] <chable> i like ubuntu
[12:58] <AndersjeToo> hekar, chable: at least on Athlon64 hardware
[12:58] <xtknight> AndersjeToo, just do cat /boot/config-`uname -r`|grep OPTION
[12:58] <chable> im sure they are fine
[12:58] <hekar> AndersjeToo: yeah i research my motherboards before buying and my next pc will a core 2 duo
[12:58] <chable> but now is too late
[12:58] <xtknight> core 2 duo (and accompanying platform) has bad support with dapper/edgy
[12:58] <chable> this stoopid AB9 is coloured like a parrot
[12:59] <xtknight> works great with feisty and other recent distros like suse 10.2, though
[12:59] <xtknight> and fc6
[12:59] <Lord_Vader> xtknight, my P965 motherboard was buggy :/ so I got myself a nforce6-motherboard instead :P
[12:59] <chable> anyone has Intel with 955X chipset ?
[12:59] <AndersjeToo> hekar: Socket AM2 Ath64s are hella-fast
[12:59] <xtknight> Lord_Vader, im using a 965p nwo
[12:59] <xtknight> now*
[12:59] <chable> this one is 965 too
[01:00] <chable> xtknight do you have that jmicron sata controller ?
[01:00] <xtknight> chable, yes
[01:00] <chable> stoopid jmicron
[01:00] <xtknight> my condolences if you do
[01:00] <safer> ok what's the Kubuntu version of the command ----- sudo gedit /etc/modules?
[01:00] <xtknight> safer, kdesu kate /etc/modules
[01:00] <Lord_Vader> xtknight, I had problems with DMA and USB on that card, and it wasn't stable at all :/ the P965 card that is
[01:00] <chable> some linux distros doesnt detect cd/dvd/-rom
[01:00] <xtknight> safer, proper gnome is 'gksudo' not 'sudo', also.
[01:00] <Lord_Vader> poor drivers too
[01:00] <chable> and i had to manually load the jmicron driver on suse 10.2
[01:00] <NickGarvey> I try to play a cd through totem, and the window goes blank and my cpu peaks out with the program dd if=/proc/kmsg of=/var/run/klogd/kmsg using the entire cpu
[01:00] <xtknight> Lord_Vader, p965 is rocksolid
[01:01] <NickGarvey> how can I get my cd to play?
[01:01] <xtknight> Lord_Vader, it's the other stuff onboard
[01:01] <chable> whats the difference between 955 and 965 ?
[01:01] <safer> ok
[01:01] <chable> u think 965 is more performant ?
[01:01] <safer> alright that command didn't work though
[01:01] <xtknight> chable, probably.  does 955 even support core 2?
[01:01] <chable> i dont know ...
[01:01] <PhirePhly> Hey guys, problem: I'm using vim in the tty and every shade of yellow comes out as a dark grey, which you can barely read.  Any ideas?  Everything comes out fine in GNOME... (Both in Edgy and Feisty)  (This is editing .java files with ":syntax on" with the "new" keyword)
[01:01] <xtknight> 955x is for P4EE
[01:01] <chable> i had 865
[01:01] <Lord_Vader> xtknight, k, well my nforce card is a lot more stable than the other one :P I will never get intel stuff again
[01:01] <chable> and dual core processor
[01:01] <NickGarvey> all I know.. is I have 965 and I needed to use the daily build
[01:02] <xtknight> it's not the 965
[01:02] <chable> no
[01:02] <xtknight> jmicron, marvell chipsets
[01:02] <xtknight> typically included with 965
[01:02] <chable> is an old mb
[01:02] <hekar> NickGarvey: try using vlc, not totem
[01:02] <chable> this is why i hate 965
[01:02] <NickGarvey> okie
[01:02] <safer> xtknight: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=290713&page=2
[01:02] <Lord_Vader> chable, me too
[01:02] <xtknight> but you can get around that.  other than that, 965 is awesome actually
[01:02] <chable> but i read this on intel`s site after i bought this hardware
[01:02] <chable> well
[01:03] <xtknight> works much better than my nforce4
[01:03] <chable> i think 955X rocks it
[01:03] <xtknight> once you get the drivers
[01:03] <hekar> much rather get a i650
[01:03] <hekar> from nvidia
[01:03] <xtknight> 680i?
[01:03] <Lord_Vader> xtknight, the drivers were the cause of the problems with DMA, once I installed them it would switch to PIO on the DVDrw
[01:03] <chable> im gonna sell this frog
[01:03] <Ghetek> is there something like active directory that i can install on ubuntu to make an actice direcctory (domain controller) setup on linux?
[01:03] <chable> and buy Intel D955XBKLKR
[01:03] <Lord_Vader> hekar, I got one of those :P
[01:03] <EADG> Help with ln (link) please... made a link to /var/lib/123/index.html in my home dir, but when using the link web browser does not display the other html files in the /123 dir. Clicking on the index.html does though. How to fix??
[01:03] <xtknight> Lord_Vader, ya jmicron issue.  i use a promise pci card and disabled jmicron because it sucks
[01:04] <chable> this one is amazing i think
[01:04] <hekar> xtknight: well i650 is the cheaper version of the i680
[01:04] <xtknight> ahh
[01:04] <Lord_Vader> xtknight, agreed :P
[01:04] <freehacke> wenass
[01:04] <xtknight> much rather nvidia than intel? why?
[01:04] <xtknight> intel is better with supporting linux
[01:04] <chable> indeed
[01:04] <xtknight> they open up specs and provide opensource drivers
[01:04] <chable> well , intel is better anyway
[01:04] <xtknight> and their chipsets are more stable and compatible.
[01:04] <chable> is natural to be like this
[01:04] <xtknight> yea
[01:04] <hekar> xtknight: that is true ive just had problems with the pc i built for my uncle that has an intel chipset
[01:05] <chable> and ati s*cks
[01:05] <chable> big time
[01:05] <xtknight> i say  blame it on JMicron
[01:05] <xtknight> that's the source of all the problems, not intel
[01:05] <chable> this X800GTO annoys me
[01:05] <hekar> xtknight: my nforce 3 was the most the most stable mb i've ever had
[01:05] <chable> yes its jmicron
[01:05] <xtknight> intel is pretty much awesome
[01:05] <milken> hhhhhola

[01:05] <chable> how the hack u say my sata 1 hdd is 1ST IDE MASTER
[01:05] <chable> this is what i see in bios
[01:05] <hekar> xtknight: exactly the jmicron makes the cpu usage 100% when using the cdrom drive in xp
[01:06] <milken> responda bichhhooosss
[01:06] <xtknight> hekar, enable dma
[01:06] <chable> stoopid emulation
[01:06] <xtknight> hekar, but yeah the jmicron is crappy
[01:06] <AndersjeToo> xtknight: thanks, found that it does have uinput enbaled :)
[01:06] <hekar> xtknight: i tried many times, but it refused to work
[01:06] <timbo8> may i get some basic help with xampp?
[01:06] <xtknight> hekar, ah well i just disabled the jmicron chipset
[01:06] <hekar> xtknight: lol good idea
[01:06] <xtknight> gigabyte ga-965p-ds3
[01:06] <xtknight> P965 express/intel ich8 here.  most stable i've ever had
[01:06] <chable> xtknight what happens if i disable the jmicron ?
[01:07] <xtknight> chable, you rise to heaevn
[01:07] <timbo8> AM I INVISIBLE
[01:07] <xtknight> heaven
[01:07] <xtknight> timbo8, no
[01:07] <xtknight> chable, you need to use intel chipset for SATA
[01:07] <chable> if i disable the , i have no dvd-rom
[01:07] <timbo8> thankyou for recognising me
[01:07] <furenku> question: if i install "kde" from synaptic, will that install everything, including headers?
[01:07] <xtknight> chable, and get a pci controller for IDE
[01:07] <chable> you lost me
[01:07] <xtknight> i did that and it works great.  or a sata DVD
[01:07] <theacolyte> Are you talking about installing Feisty with a JMicron controller?
[01:07] <chable> so what do u suggest me to do ?
[01:07] <xtknight> furenku, headers ..? do you mean dev?
[01:07] <hekar> xtknight: lol gigabyte ga-965p-ds3 I have that motherboard in my basement, i accidently scratched it with a screw driver
[01:07] <xtknight> theacolyte, jmicron in general
[01:07] <xtknight> haha
[01:07] <timbo8> but does anyone, out of the 1003 people here other than me, use xampp?
[01:08] <theacolyte> I use my JMicron fine with edgy, and now feisty with the daily build from a couple days ago
[01:08] <xtknight> i got IDE garbage via my jmicron chipset (like spam and itnerrupt smashing) so i just disabled it
[01:08] <xtknight> not worth it
[01:08] <will> I can't get gnome-panel to run.
[01:08] <AndersjeToo> timbo8:  what's xampp?
[01:08] <hekar> timbo8: just install apache and stuff separately
[01:08] <timbo8> xampp, essentially lampp
[01:08] <xtknight> !LAMP
[01:08] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[01:08] <AndersjeToo> will: look for root-owned files in .gnome and .gnome2
[01:08] <timbo8> it is has just got to do with configuring the root
[01:08] <chable> xtknight u have any other method of installing linux , on this ab9 , with the jmicron disabled ?
[01:08] <dexomsrc> Is network-manager-gnome installed by default in Feisty?
[01:08] <timbo8> i will explain
[01:08] <sittisa1> timbo8: if you use windows or macosx
[01:09] <xtknight> chable, usb cdrom
[01:09] <theacolyte> !feisty > dexomsrc (check your PM)
[01:09] <chable> i dont have it
[01:09] <sittisa1> we cant help you...

[01:09] <chable> does linux boot from usb stick ?
[01:09] <freehacker> algun espaol?

[01:26] <theacolyte> To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add  blacklist <modulename>  to the end of that list
[01:27] <Pelo> m1n1,   search the forum for what ever that prog was, it will give you an idea of the kind of issues other users might be experiencing

[01:32] <jrib> SpeakerMania: your best bet is probably the linmodems page, I think they have a mailing list too

[01:34] <jenn> I am trying to install XP, when I am at the partition screen, I can create a new partition off of an exisiting partition on which my ubuntu is installed. How can I create a new partition off of that?

[01:34] <chable> can u imagine how ubuntu will look in 2014 ?
[01:34] <SpeakerMania> 7 years because it is the best OS from them ever.
[01:34] <Pelo> jenn,  resize the partition to make free space
[01:35] <theacolyte> You think
[01:35] <chable> and no stealing from apple
[01:35] <chable> LOL
[01:35] <theacolyte> That maybe in 2014, you'll be able to keep this channel on-topic?
[01:35] <chable> i doubt it
[01:35] <chable> whats better ?
[01:35] <jenn> Pelo, how do I resize the partition?
[01:35] <Hypnotic> A buddy of mine got this USB adapter working in Ubuntu

[01:35] <chable> or the sidebar ?
[01:35] <Steil> I'm having trouble getting totem-gstreamer to play wmv files...i have pitfdll installed as well as w32 codecs....any ideas?
[01:35] <R-800> I guess my network card isn't supported.
[01:35] <chable> u need the codescs Steil
[01:36] <chable> codecs*
[01:36] <Steil> chable: I have the codecs...
[01:36] <chable> all of them ?
[01:36] <chable> i cant remeber if wmw worked for me ..
[01:36] <arejay> Hypnotic, check out ndiswrapper
[01:36] <arejay> !ndiswrapper
[01:36] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[01:36] <Zues_62> hi
[01:36] <Steil> all the ones relevent to wmv
[01:36] <Pelo> jenn,  boot up the ubuntu live cd ,   go to  menu > system > adming > gnome partition manager,   select the hdd,  select the partition you need to resize,  right click   move/resize,   free up some space,    then menu > edit >  apply,   that should create some unallocated space on your hdd, you can use that to install windows on
[01:36] <Steil> but pitfdll doesn't appear to be working...
[01:37] <Flags> theacolyte, so.. I install a client version for 1 pc and a server for the other one?
[01:37] <stefg> Steil: have tried totem-xine? gstreamer-pitfdll leaves some wishes open...
[01:37] <chable> i finally managed to emulate ps2 games on pc
[01:37] <jenn> ok, help... I just deleted my swap partition, how can I recover it?
[01:37] <theacolyte> Flags: If you want to grab files off your windows machine from your linux box, all you need is the client. Visa Versa, you'd need to install server
[01:38] <chable> :)
[01:38] <Hypnotic> Jenn: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[01:38] <Pelo> jenn,   did you apply ?  then it isn'T gone ,  just undo it
[01:38] <theacolyte> You can always recreate your swap partition by the way, it doesn't actually hurt anything
[01:39] <jetscreamer> or use a swap file
[01:39] <atomiku> I just kill -9'd out of some game, and now I cant control my mouse. How can I... get control back of my mouse?
[01:39] <atomiku> 
[01:39] <odium> I need someone to point me in the right direction. I have two issues first I don't know what to use for my WebCam from logitech and secondly I haven't gotten my audio to work with my audio card. I get an error about not having a GS streamer plugin.
[01:39] <stefg> !swap | jenn
[01:39] <ubotu> jenn: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info
[01:40] <jenn> Can I go into alternate cd recovery and recover the swap?
[01:40] <Flags> theocolyte, so if I install the server edition of Samba on my XP machine, both PC's can retrieve files from one another?
[01:40] <theacolyte> atomiku: without knowing exactly what's going on, you can restart your x server, or reboot
[01:40] <atomiku> okay
[01:40] <KnowledgEngineer> is possible install ubuntu in a Machintosh
[01:40] <atomiku> theacolyte: yeah
[01:40] <atomiku> how can i restart the x server?
[01:40] <KnowledgEngineer> ?
[01:40] <NickGarvey> atomiku, ctrl alt backspace
[01:40] <atomiku> okay thanks
[01:40] <NickGarvey> atomiku, mind you, it will.. do what what you just asked..
[01:40] <tovella> how can i make x-sessions auto-logout (after a period of inactivity)?
[01:40] <atomiku> im currently on ctrl alt + F1 lol
[01:40] <SpeakerMania> Yes, it is on a Mac.
[01:40] <theacolyte> Flags: you do not need samba server for windows. You should really read over the docs.
[01:40] <chable> Wikipedia falsely claims the death of Los Angeles entertainer, bringing validity of encyclopedia into question
[01:40] <atomiku> okay guys, thanks.
[01:40] <theacolyte> !samba > Flags
[01:41] <theacolyte> chable: can you please keep this channel on topic
[01:41] <stefg> jenn: DON'T PANIC.. just read the howto ubotu gave you
[01:41] <Pelo> jenn,  if you deleted your swapfile in the partition manager, just make a new one,  make it embeded inside an extended partition of the same size
[01:41] <sayers> Are there any very fun FPS laying aroud, you know every  once and a while you feel like shooting someones head off.
[01:41] <chable> sorry
[01:41] <SpeakerMania> Halo.
[01:41] <sayers> Hi
[01:41] <SpeakerMania> Or do you mean for Ubuntu?
[01:41] <R-800> I've got a question about the list of HP wlan adapters supported on http://www.linux-wlan.org/docs/wlan_adapters.html.gz and the question is: Would an adapter called "802.11 b/g" be supported since that isn't technically shown in the list as it is shown on my system?
[01:41] <sayers> yes and halo is very low-quality
[01:42] <phirephly> does anyone else have problems displaying yellow on the tty?
[01:42] <SpeakerMania> What are you playing it on? Your 14 inch monitor with a built-in motherboard card?
[01:42] <bronze_0_1> phirephly: yellow what?
[01:42] <phirephly> text
[01:42] <atomiku> hmmmm
[01:42] <theacolyte> phirephly: Stupid question, but do colors display normally on your monitor otherwise?
[01:42] <phirephly> it all comes out as dark grey
[01:42] <[H] 3b0R> anyone here have dbus-sharp 0.60?
[01:42] <bronze_0_1> yellow test? ewww.  Nope no problem here. never use it.
[01:42] <phirephly> it makes using syntax in vim almost impossible
[01:42] <atomiku> I CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACED and theres nothing there now, so I went onto TTY1 and typed startx, it logged me into gnome but I dont want that rofl, im using XFCE
[01:43] <bronze_0_1> oh. .thats not good
[01:43] <atomiku> so I tried logging out from gnome, it just quit X
[01:43] <theacolyte> phirephly: hehehehe, yeah, that would make things difficult, I have no idea honestly
[01:43] <viktor______> how to find which mac adress is on my wifi card ?
[01:43] <theacolyte> atomiku: you normally use XFCE?
[01:43] <atomiku> yup
[01:44] <theacolyte> viktor______: don't know the command off the top of my head (something with ifconfig iirc) but you can take a physical look at your card, it will be labelled
[01:44] <theacolyte> If it's a laptop, you can find it on the bottom. It's there someplace. The FCC mandates it.
[01:44] <KnowledgEngineer> is possible install ubuntu in a Machintosh???
[01:44] <sayers> SpeakerMania, No , the game itself doesn't even run on Linux and it is so unrealistic.
[01:44] <SpeakerMania> YES. Dude I already answered that.
[01:44] <theacolyte> ah
[01:44] <atomiku> so like
[01:44] <theacolyte> viktor______: ifconfig -a
[01:45] <SpeakerMania> lol
[01:45] <atomiku> how do i start the login screen thing?
[01:45] <phirephly> KnowledgEngineer, yes, it is
[01:45] <SpeakerMania> Don't know what you're talking about, eh?
[01:45] <Pelo> KnowledgEngineer,  might be a little old for that,  but I am sure you can install other linux distro
[01:45] <atomiku> i just wanna log back into XFCE lol
[01:45] <viktor______> theacolyte, no such device
[01:45] <R-800>  Can someone answer a question about the HP wLAN adapters supported on http://www.linux-wlan.org/docs/wlan_adapters.html.gz ?
[01:45] <DualCortex> Can someone please tell me what the "-phigh" sets in "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg"
[01:46] <KnowledgEngineer> what is old?
[01:46] <theacolyte> atomiku: no real experience with xfce, I'm a KDE guy :( With KDE I'd do startkde
[01:46] <jetscreamer> priority
[01:46] <jetscreamer> see also -plow
[01:46] <Hypnotic> What is the command to bring up the "run" command, like in Windows?
[01:46] <chable> are programmers from africa working on the ubuntu project too ?
[01:46] <theacolyte> viktor______: then your card isn't configured in ubuntu
[01:46] <KnowledgEngineer> there are different macintosh version
[01:46] <jenn> Ok, I'm at the partition option page in ubuntu recovery mode. Can I remake the swap here?
[01:46] <stefg> Hypnotic: alt-f2
[01:46] <dooglus> DualCortex: it means that only questions of high priority or higher will be displayed
[01:46] <phirephly> Hypnotic, alt-F2
[01:46] <sayers> I dont like KDE, I wish I did. :(
[01:46] <viktor______> theacolyte, i'm using wireless connection for internet :)
[01:46] <SpeakerMania> What hardware version, then, Knowledge Enginere
[01:46] <SpeakerMania> ?
[01:47] <atomiku> well

[01:47] <SpeakerMania> *Engineer
[01:47] <KnowledgEngineer> and if you have a machintosh you have no mach problem for know your hardware
[01:47] <KnowledgEngineer> becouse there are 3 machintosh model
[01:47] <dooglus> DualCortex: if you had run "man dpkg-reconfigure", it would have told you

[01:47] <dpak> My comp has problem launching Mozilla Sunbird. Can anybody help me?
[01:47] <theacolyte> viktor______: so you are trying to find your mac address so you can add it to your ACL on your router?
[01:48] <SpeakerMania> Yes, which Mac model?
[01:48] <DualCortex> dooglus: thanks, makes sense.  I just noticed it's in the man page of dpkg-reconfigure
[01:48] <[H] 3b0R> anyone here have dbus-sharp 0.60?

[01:48] <dpak> My comp has problem launching Mozilla Sunbird. Can anybody help me?
[01:48] <viktor______> theacolyte, i need to know my mac adress thats all
[01:48] <theacolyte> [H] 3b0R: it's not included in any of the standard ubuntu repos, you'll have to google
[01:48] <KrAsHeR> anyone know how to resolve accentuation problems in nautilus?

[01:48] <timbo8> it doesnt work properly when i make a new user, can i have some help?
[01:49] <jenn> can I recreate swap partition from the recovery mode of ubuntu on the partition disks section?
[01:49] <Factory> So hey. Microphones don't work in flash player right now? Kinda lame. Anyone else having this problem? Is it an all around compatability issue ?
[01:49] <theacolyte> viktor______: ifconfig -a doesn't work?
[01:49] <viktor______> theacolyte, no
[01:49] <theacolyte> atomiku: you could always restart :)
[01:49] <dac_> Ubuntu  is my OS, but 10 min. into aol.com mail screen freezes, what can I do?
[01:49] <theacolyte> viktor______: try iwconfig
[01:49] <alexnb185> Hey, does anyone here know about wireless usb adapters and how to get them to work... or ndiswrapper\????
[01:49] <timbo8> here is the problem, i create a new user fine through the users and groups menu, but when i close that users and groupd menu, the new user has been deleted
[01:49] <atomiku> theacolyte: never! :O
[01:50] <theacolyte> atomiku: :)
[01:50] <R-800> I just need to know if my HP wLAN adapter is supported on http://www.linux-wlan.org/docs/wlan_adapters.html.gz and I believe it probably is but the precise adapter model isn't listed.  Can someone tell me if "802.11 b/g" would be included based on what is displayed in the list?
[01:50] <jenn> can I recreate swap partition from the recovery mode of ubuntu on the partition disks section?
[01:50] <theacolyte> atomiku: I googled for you, it's startxfce :P
[01:50] <theacolyte> atomiku: Or startgui, depending
[01:50] <cafuego_> jenn: Is swap is missing, you cna boot up normal and add it at any time afterward.
[01:50] <Hypnotic> Does anyone know the key combo to bring up the Run box for the terminal?
[01:50] <timbo8> can anyone out there help me create a new user?
[01:50] <atomiku> theacolyte: okay thanks
[01:51] <atomiku> command not found

[01:52] <theacolyte> !shout | timbo8

[01:52] <Pelo> R-800,   cross reference with the other info on there, such as product id and chipset

[01:53] <KrAsHeR> anyone know how to resolve accentuation problems in nautilus?
[01:53] <theacolyte> I'm talking through the bot today evidently
[01:53] <theacolyte> viktor______: you can check the card for the MAC address, it's the best answer I have for you right now... since iwconfig doesn't show it
[01:53] <Pelo> KrAsHeR,  do you mean that some files names don'T have the right accent on there ?
[01:53] <dpak> I installed Mozilla Sunbird, but it has problem launching. It acts like it's launching but it closes automatically
[01:53] <dpak> can anybody help?
[01:53] <R-800> Pelo: I was trying but I don't know where to find that info in my system.  I've been trying to find out.  If it's not in Device Manager in WinXP I don't know where to look.
[01:54] <Pelo> KrAsHeR,  like    etc
[01:54] <dooglus> what should be in /etc/inittab for the 6 virtual consoles?
[01:54] <KrAsHeR> yes Pelo...
[01:54] <KrAsHeR> Joo
[01:54] <theacolyte> timbo8: what happens when you run from a command line: sudo adduser *name*?
[01:54] <KrAsHeR> like   
[01:54] <theacolyte> timbo8: does it show up in your gui user tool?
[01:54] <h00t> what is a good way to test framerate of my current driver & video cars
[01:54] <timbo8> i use the gui tool
[01:54] <h00t> card
[01:54] <Hypnotic> Ah, found it.. Alt+F2!
[01:54] <timbo8> i will try the command line now
[01:54] <theacolyte> h00t: glxgears
[01:54] <Pelo> R-800,   try the manual, or the box , or try looking it up in your comps specs online
[01:55] <StoneNote> R-800, hal-device-manager
[01:55] <R-800> Pelo: Thanks.  I'll give it a shot.
[01:55] <R-800> StoneNote: What?
[01:55] <Pelo> KrAsHeR,   try  menu > system > adming > linguistic support ,  make sure you have the right language setup
[01:55] <h00t> theacolyte: it just showed me the gears ... how do i actually see the framerate
[01:55] <timbo8> theacolyte: it says that "the groupd tim already exists"
[01:55] <dooglus> anyone?  what does "grep ^1 /etc/inittab" show please?
[01:55] <theacolyte> h00t: hit control-c
[01:55] <timbo8> theacolyte: but in the gui tool, there is no user as tim
[01:55] <theacolyte> timbo8: when you do cat /etc/passwd, does the user show up?
[01:56] <h00t> theacolyte: no number
[01:56] <theacolyte> errr, it should... you ran it from a command line right?
[01:56] <StoneNote> R-800, if you want to see what specific string is reported by a device and it's not in dmesg or lspci or lsusb then I'd run hal-device-manager and look in there
[01:56] <KrAsHeR> Thnanks
[01:56] <timbo8> theacolyte: as in, the user's name?
[01:57] <theacolyte> timbo8: yes
[01:57] <jvai_> aight ppls i'm ghost!
[01:57] <timbo8> theacolyte: no, it doesnt
[01:57] <timbo8> theacolyte: i am using the root user, which is my only user
[01:57] <Pelo> KrAsHeR,  I just checked,  that's not it
[01:57] <theacolyte> h00t: sorry, I'm used to a different version evidently, try glxgears -printfps
[01:58] <KrAsHeR> Another question... when i change to a terminal by ctrl+alt+F#, i don't get my keyboard working properly....
[01:58] <R-800> StoneNote: I'm not trying to be a pain, but I don't know what dmesg or lspci or lsusb or hal-device-manager is.
[01:58] <KrAsHeR> i think it's the codification... my keyboard is Portuguese-BR ABNT 2
[01:58] <KrAsHeR> but how i fix it for the terminals?
[01:58] <StoneNote> R-800, no problem. you know how to use a terminal?
[01:59] <theacolyte> timbo8: so you're running sudo adduser *name*, it says you have a duplicate, but it's not listed in /etc/passwd?
[01:59] <h00t> theacolyte: thanx it works now
[01:59] <timbo8> theacolyte: i take it *name* is where i type tim?
[01:59] <shwag> anyone know of a tutorial for encypting files ?
[01:59] <R-800> StoneNote: You just mean any terminal generally, or something you're calling "terminal" that is specific to some application?
[01:59] <Pelo> KrAsHeR,   review the keyboard settings in  system > prefs > keyboard, there are also some prefs in the gnome-terminal
[01:59] <theacolyte> h00t: no problem, sorry about that -- never used to have to type -printfps
[01:59] <theacolyte> timbo8:  yes
[01:59] <timbo8> theacolyte: yes, it says it is already there, but it doesnt come up in the listing
[02:00] <genii> R-800 dmesg = device messages on boot etc. If you just type dmesg it spews out the last few lines during boot having to do with hardware. lspci is "list pci" it shows you whats on the pci bus. lsusb is same but for usb. hal-device-manager is an abstraction layer for all these things
[02:00] <KrAsHeR> no... in Gnome-Terminal and xterm, the keyboard works fine... but in raw terminals, tty, it doesn't work
[02:00] <h00t> theacolyte: is this the best way to test a performance differences between open source & proprietary driver
[02:00] <theacolyte> timbo8: out of curiousity how did you manage to install ubuntu without creating a seperate user besides root?
[02:00] <theacolyte> h00t: one of them, it's the one I'd use
[02:00] <timbo8> theacolyte: i did, but it got deleted somehow
[02:00] <R-800> genii: Thanks.  I understood that.
[02:00] <timbo8> theacolyte: probably in my fiddeling
[02:00] <genii> R-800: np
[02:01] <StoneNote> R-800, I mean a  regular old terminal.  in windows you'd call it a "c prompt"
[02:01] <theacolyte> timbo8: Something tells me your install is acting really weird. You'll have to google for more help on that one, cause I got no idea. Sorry bud, I tried.
[02:01] <Jstuts5797> I have a question that may sound stupid - Is it possible to format a hard drive to make it useable for data WITHOUT installing a operating system on it? I just want to store my mp3s on this one hard drive and be able to access it through Ubuntu or windows.
[02:01] <h00t> theacolyte: what do you use ... proprietary
[02:01] <R-800> genii: I mean, I didn't undertand it beforehand, but with your help, I do now.  : )
[02:01] <theacolyte> Jstuts5797: yes it is
[02:01] <theacolyte> h00t: I use NVIDIA, so yes. No option unfortunately
[02:01] <dooglus> can someone please tell me?  what does "grep ^1 /etc/inittab" show?
[02:01] <KrAsHeR> well... you will need a hd with a valid OS
[02:01] <timbo8> theacolyte: ok thanks. it is acting weird though, because when i click system => administration, i can't find disks either
[02:01] <theacolyte> timbo8: heheh..... yeaaaaaaaaaaahhhh
[02:02] <dooglus> Jstuts5797: yes, it is.
[02:02] <timbo8> theacolyte: should i reinstall?
[02:02] <Jstuts5797> theacolyte: how would I go about doing this?
[02:02] <timbo8> or just live with only one account?
[02:02] <theacolyte> timbo8: how far are you into your install?
[02:02] <dooglus> Jstuts5797: use gparted to do it
[02:02] <theacolyte> Jstuts5797: what dooglus said
[02:02] <timbo8> theacolyte: a couple of days
[02:02] <theacolyte> !gparted > Jstuts5797 (check your pm)
[02:02] <timbo8> theacolyte: as in, ive had it installed for a few days
[02:02] <Jstuts5797> ok thanks guys
[02:03] <R-800> StoneNote: So then, will I be booting to a command prompt then before typing in the commands you were talking about, because I haven't done that yet.  So those options you mentioned are still possibilities.  I didn't know about them.
[02:03] <theacolyte> timbo8: ouch, that's harsh. I hope you haven't put much effort into it so far. If you have truely put in 3 days of work, I'd google first, format later
[02:03] <StoneNote> R-800, no
[02:03] <theacolyte> Anyhoo, I'm going home. Take it easy all.
[02:03] <StoneNote> R-800, the terminal is just another program. check your application list. it's in there
[02:03] <timbo8> theacolyte: lol, i havnt, its mostly been trying to get everything working properly. i wouldnt loose much
[02:03] <theacolyte> timbo8: hehe, good luck :)
[02:03] <timbo8> theacolyte: thanks for trying :)
[02:03] <dooglus> can someone please tell me?  what does "grep ^1 /etc/inittab" show?
[02:04] <R-800> StoneNote: Okay, now I know what you're talking about.  That's why I asked earlier.  I'm aware of the "Terminal" program, but I don't think I've ever used it.
[02:04] <theacolyte> NP
[02:04] <genii> Should there BE an inittab???
[02:04] <shasbot> is it possible for me to turn the /home directory into a separate partition without losing the data?
[02:04] <xtknight> any program to read Vcore (voltage of CPU) on Linux?
[02:04] <StoneNote> R-800, if you see someone say CLI that stand for "command line iinterface" and it's another way of saying "open a terminal and enter such and such commands"
[02:05] <StoneNote> just an fyi
[02:05] <genii> (j/k)
[02:05] <timbo8> theacolyte: i cant be bothered, this install is acting really weird, im just going to reformat
[02:05] <dooglus> genii: what does it show?
[02:05] <Lunar_Lamp> !codecs

[02:05] <Marvin> Whats about you?
[02:06] <R-800> StoneNote: Thanks.  I know some of this terminology, but evidently, not all of it.   : )
[02:06] <kofler> Is there a way to get w to print out the full user names just as who does? With w, after six or seven letters, the usernames get chopped off.
[02:06] <genii> dooglus Mine shows:
[02:06] <genii> 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
[02:06] <genii> 10:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty10
[02:06] <genii> 11:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty11
[02:06] <dooglus> genii: thanks
[02:06] <StoneNote> R-800, everyone starts at the same spot. knowing zip. so don't ket anyone put on airs.  no one was born knowing all this
[02:06] <genii> dooglus But I have more tty than the normal  person does
[02:07] <dooglus> genii: I knew it was something like that, but couldn't remember the details
[02:07] <R-800> StoneNote: I'm still a bit confused.  Was I supposed to go to a command prompt and type those commands you mentioned?  Or no?
[02:07] <jenn> bah, screwed up my ubuntu. ;( too complicated for me to fix it. I'll install windows xp now and then install ubuntu. oh darn.
[02:07] <dooglus> genii: I'm using a livecd (my hard disk seems to have crashed) so it said "1:2345:respawn:/bin/login -f ubuntu </dev/tty1 >/dev/tty1 2>&1"
[02:07] <genii> dooglus Ah OK
[02:08] <lodxcol> Hi, I was just wondering what command I'd use to change my password via command line
[02:08] <h00t> does anyone have a good link about how to install ATI drivers
[02:08] <jenn> ok, can anyone tell me how do I keep my exising windows installation and still install ubuntu....
[02:08] <genii> lodxcol:   try: passwd
[02:08] <Hypnotic> How do
[02:09] <Hypnotic> opps
[02:09] <lodxcol> So type passwd newpasswdhere ?
[02:09] <kofler> jenn: Use the LiveCD, it does that for you, though if you lose data, no one is responsible but yourself.
[02:09] <Lunar_Lamp> lodxcol, "passwd"
[02:09] <Hypnotic> How do I upgrade OpenOffice to 2.2?
[02:09] <Lunar_Lamp> lodxcol, no, just "passwd" and it will explain what to do :-)
[02:09] <genii> lodxcol: If you just put   passwd    it should prompt you for the rest
[02:09] <DualCortex> jenn: Just install Ubuntu in partitions where Windows is not installed
[02:09] <HymnToLife`> Hypnotic, build from source
[02:09] <lodxcol> Alright, thanks.
[02:09] <dooglus> next question: what exactly on the live CD makes it reset the /etc/network/interfaces file on every boot?  I need to put my wireless network ssid in there, but it keeps getting reset
[02:09] <Lunar_Lamp> dooglus, the live cd doesn't save any information...
[02:10] <DualCortex> I thought dooglus was the guru here!!1
[02:10] <dpak> I installed Mozilla Sunbird, but it has problem launching. It acts like it's launching but it closes automatically
[02:10] <dooglus> Lunar_Lamp: it's saving everything else, just not the network info
[02:10] <dpak> can anybody help?
[02:10] <Lunar_Lamp> dooglus, on the livecd?!
[02:10] <dooglus> Lunar_Lamp: on a memory stick
[02:10] <HymnToLife`> dpak, launch it from a temrinal and see if you get error messages
[02:11] <dooglus> Lunar_Lamp: if you have any filesystem with the label 'casper-rw', it will automatically mount it, and use it to keep a copy of any files you change
[02:11] <shwag> anyone tried seahorse or gpa ?
[02:11] <DualCortex> dooglus: settings are not saved on a memory stick.. they'll be saved on to your ram. Which means when you reset your PC settings, etc. will be gone
[02:11] <dpak> HymnToLife`: it says
[02:11] <dpak> HymnToLife`: "segmentation fauly: (core dumped) "
[02:11] <kofler> Is there a way to get w to print out the full user names just as who does? With w, after six or seven letters, the usernames get chopped off.
[02:11] <dooglus> DualCortex: read and learn: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence
[02:11] <h00t> does anyone have a good link about how to install ATI drivers

[02:13] <dealc_> *from
[02:13] <HymnToLife`> dealc, sudo apt-get instal openssh-server
[02:13] <Lunar_Lamp> dooglus, why not write a little bash script in your persistent home? #!/bin/bash echo "wireless KEY" > /etc/network/interfaces
[02:13] <HymnToLife`> install*
[02:13] <genii> kofler I don't understand. If   w   is a prob   why not type the extra 2 letters ???
[02:13] <Lunar_Lamp> (hacky I know, but quick and simple)
[02:13] <R-800> StoneNote: I didn't catch your response to my question about how to enter those commands you mentioned if not via the command prompt.

[02:13] <ubotu> Flash 9 (Final release) is now available for dapper-backports and edgy-backports. See !backports and !flash
[02:13] <dooglus> Lunar_Lamp: because then I would have to log in before the network would come up
[02:13] <HymnToLife`> dpak, bad things
[02:13] <Lunar_Lamp> dooglus, true, but is that a huge deal when using a live cd?
[02:13] <dpak> lol
[02:13] <kofler> genii: Because w produces superior output compared to who in terms of how many users it accurately depicts as being logged into the system.
[02:14] <HymnToLife`> most often a bug in the app
[02:14] <kofler> genii: Read the man pages on both if you really care about it enough.
[02:14] <cafuego_> dpak: On windows, that would have been a blue screen of death.
[02:14] <grndslm> i have a 4gb flash drive...how easy is it to turn that into an "ubuntu drive" ready for any computer?  I'm aware that I'll prolly need a minimal boot cd to point to the usb...but has anyone done this before?
[02:14] <HymnToLife`> or in some lib it uses
[02:14] <UNDERsoN> which package I should install to have make-kpkg in my system
[02:14] <kofler> genii: But it's safe to say, "Just trust me on that part."
[02:14] <dooglus> Lunar_Lamp: I want to be able to just power the machine on and forget about it.  I don't want to have to attach a keyboard, log in, etc. just to get the network to come up
[02:14] <HymnToLife`> !find make-kpkg

[02:15] <HymnToLife`> UNDERsoN, ubotu already answered ;)

[02:15] <UNDERsoN> thanks
[02:16] <Jim1804> evening all...
[02:16] <Jim1804> Media codec problem here...
[02:16] <StoneNote> R-800, on a GNOME desktop, you can open a terminal by hitting Alt-F2 and typing gnome-terminal
[02:16] <genii> kofler: Why not just cat /var/run/utmp then in that case? After all thats how   w works
[02:16] <HymnToLife`> !ask | Jim1804
[02:16] <ubotu> Jim1804: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:17] <kofler> genii: Have *you* tried cat'ing it? The output is useless.
[02:17] <dealc_> How do I allow writing on a samba share from a Mac (OS X) or a Win (XP Pro) Machine?
[02:17] <Jim1804> Ubuto...here it comes....my Ubuntu internet isn't working yet, so I'm downloading debs on my windows laptop...I downloaded and installed the w32codecs deb, it says it installed correctly, but Rhythmbox still says that the plugins aren't available for mp3 or wma..any thoughts?
[02:18] <HymnToLife`> Jim1804, w32codecs is not the right thing for mp3
[02:18] <HymnToLife`> !mp3

[02:18] <dealc_> How do I allow writing on a samba share from a Mac (OS X) or a Win (XP Pro) Machine?
[02:18] <Jim1804> and what is w32 for?

[02:20] <grndslm> Jim1804:  ubotu doesn't understand you, "he" is a bot
[02:20] <Jim1804> lol..thanks grandslm

[02:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about swho - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[02:20] <genii> !info swho
[02:20] <ubotu> Package swho does not exist in edgy, edgy-backports, edgy-seveas
[02:21] <genii> I think ubotu lies
[02:21] <DualCortex> Jim1804: just wanted to tell you Ubotu is a bot :)
[02:21] <kofler> I think he got it...
[02:21] <Jstuts5797> New question. If I format this drive as fat32 instead of ntfs will it make it any easier for data to be written and read between both windows and ubuntu?
[02:21] <Jim1804> thanks Dual and sayers...
[02:21] <grndslm> genii:  why not use aptitude or apt-get to search for packages??
[02:21] <dealc_> How do I allow writing on a samba share from a Mac (OS X) or a Win (XP Pro) Machine?
[02:21] <Jim1804> Now...what do I need to download in order to play mp3 wma files?
[02:21] <Joebu[NoR] > does anyone have any idea why the svideo output of my video card would be in black and white?  the other video card displays fine
[02:21] <grndslm> Jim1804:  ubotu already answered that for you
[02:21] <jetscreamer> yes Jstuts5797
[02:22] <kofler> Jim1804: Have you been to ubuntuguide.org before?
[02:22] <DualCortex> kofler: woops, hadn't noticed what sayers said l(
[02:22] <genii> grndslm: As soon as I'm logged onto a deb box I'll do just that :)
[02:22] <dealc_> jim1804: Have you looked through the Synaptic Database?
[02:22] <kofler> Anyway, hopefully someone will be able to answer this question this time around, I see some new nicknames around.
[02:22] <Jstuts5797> So if i'm just using it for data, not an operating system then fat32 is probably my best bet.
[02:22] <kofler> Is there a way to get w to print out the full user names just as who does? With w, after eight characters, the usernames get chopped off.
[02:22] <Jim1804> Everyone - yes, I've done all that. What I keep finding is that I need the w32 codecs...
[02:22] <PhilKC> Hi SportChick.
[02:23] <grndslm> Jim1804:  mp3 is not a windows codec
[02:23] <grndslm> just go to ubuntuguide.org and search for mp3
[02:23] <Jim1804> but wma is...and those don't play either..
[02:23] <Jstuts5797> Jim: I've had a heck of a time getting Ubuntu to play mp3 files... and I still haven't gotten it quite right yet.... good luck
[02:23] <kofler> Jim1804: Please visit ubuntuguide.org.
[02:23] <kofler> Jim1804: It answers 99% of the questions that usually come up here anyway.
[02:23] <dealc_> How do I allow writing on a samba share from a Mac (OS X) or a Win (XP Pro) Machine?
[02:23] <Flannel> grndslm, kofler, Jim1804, ubuntuguide isn't reliable.  Use the official ubuntu wiki (help.ubuntu.org) instead.
[02:24] <Jim1804> is no one going to help me out? I've been really impressed with the helpful community thus far..I'm not some idiot that hasn't done his homework...I just need a hand!

[02:24] <Flannel> Jim1804: that page (first link) has subpages for all the common stuff.
[02:24] <genii> kofler Feel like compiling?
[02:24] <kofler> dealc_: Samba doesn't care for the OS you're connecting from. Just make it public = yes writeable = yes browseable = yes
[02:24] <jenn> although I have xp installed on one partition, will I still be able to create a new partition off of that and install ubuntu?
[02:24] <kofler> genii: Compiling what?
[02:25] <genii> kofler http://www.isc.org/index.pl?/sources/network/utils/swho.php
[02:25] <Flannel> Jim1804: oh, if you need w32codecs, check out Seveas' repository.  See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[02:25] <kofler> genii: I'd prefer a utility which produces output I can parse.
[02:25] <alexnb185> Does any one know what is up when i connect my pc to a LAN and still get no connection.. and the LAN is connected
[02:25] <kofler> genii: ncurses based output is suboptimal.
[02:25] <Jim1804> That's what I'm saying...all the help pages say "use the add/remove feature" or enable more repositories...again, I don't have internet on my linux machine..
[02:26] <kofler> genii: Thanks anyway :)
[02:26] <felipe_gabriel> hey guys
[02:26] <felipe_gabriel> good night
[02:26] <Jstuts5797> Jim1804: Good luck... I've had little success with playing mp3s in Ubuntu... it ALWAYS crashes whatever player I'm trying to use.
[02:26] <bruenig> Jim1804, you are going to have to download all the codecs and then move them somehow on t your computer
[02:26] <ddonky> alexnb185 - ping another pc on the lan
[02:26] <Flannel> Jim1804: Download the appropriate debs (packages.ubuntu.com can help for all stuff in repos) and sneaker net them over.  Install with dpkg
[02:26] <bruenig> Jstuts5797, have you install the codecs?
[02:26] <genii> kofler: Have you tried yet in #ubuntu-server ?
[02:26] <felipe_gabriel> does anyone knows where I can find a bit of useful information on how to install Ubuntu on SATA HD's?
[02:26] <Jstuts5797> bruenig: Yes I have
[02:26] <Joebu[NoR] > does anyone have any idea why the svideo output of my video card would be in black and white?
[02:26] <Jstuts5797> more than once
[02:26] <Jim1804> Thanks jstut....i'm giving linux a try, but these issues are severly limiting to making atransfer..
[02:26] <kofler> genii: I'll ask, but I really don't think it's appropriate in there as it's a generic question that applies to all of Ubuntu.
[02:27] <HymnToLife[] > felipe_gabriel, what kind of information ?
[02:27] <mon^rch> Jstuts5797: I got a full blown multimedia system here... sorry you had trouble :)
[02:27] <Flannel> kofler: have you tried users?
[02:27] <alexnb185> ddonky: i am on adifferent computer right now but using the same network... and linux won't recognize that is is plugged in
[02:27] <Jim1804> Jstut...I'm with you....I've done the same thing...no luck
[02:27] <felipe_gabriel> Cause in my installation assistant it is not being able to find the root directory /
[02:27] <kofler> Flannel: ... thank you
[02:27] <bruenig> Jstuts5797, yeah it is extremely surprising. I have never heard of anyone not being able to get mp3 working
[02:27] <Flannel> kofler: I don't know if users cuts off after a certain amount, but it doesn't seem like it should.  Not fixed width
[02:27] <kofler> Flannel: Very, very, very much :)
[02:27] <HymnToLife> felipe_gabriel, nothing you can do then besides using a more recent ubuntu version
[02:27] <felipe_gabriel> grep felipe_gabriel

[02:28] <Jstuts5797> let me check that out
[02:28] <felipe_gabriel> but in the Debian installation it is totally possible to do this using the iSATA parameter installation
[02:28] <Jstuts5797> Actually I'm on the wrong maching right now... hold on a secound.
[02:29] <felipe_gabriel> since Ubuntu is a son of Debian, I thought that it would also be able, am I mistaken?
[02:29] <alexnb185> uh i kno my home networks...
[02:29] <jenn> alexb185, don't ask a question to ask question. Just ask.

[02:30] <dimpan> is there a solution in ubuntu that would let me receive faxes like in outlook 2000?
[02:30] <dimpan> also keep the organized

[02:57] <Priest-of-Work> I deleted it

[02:57] <Priest-of-Work> lol
[02:57] <freqk> same output

[02:57] <dooglus> Priest-of-Work: how badly do you want it back?
[02:57] <Oritemis> hi guys.
[02:57] <hyperactivecrond> neilthereildeil: then try pinging another ip address
[02:57] <hyperactivecrond> or try iwconfig eth1 again

[02:59] <Alonea> Rooy: nm...i will just goto windows...

[03:00] <Lunar_Lamp> faintofhearts, I think you just need to put "noacpi" as a boot option.
[03:00] <gRaCiOsO> Flannel,  i have the other like master but how can i see the name of it here in ubuntu ?
[03:01] <Apollo^101> i upgraded (full upgrade by adept) and i got two options at bootup. one with kernal 6.17.10 and one with 6.17.11.        the 11 one worked fine untill a week. and today i booted from it but it got stuck right before the graphical screen.  can some one tell whats wrong?
[03:01] <faintofhearts> I'll try it...
[03:01] <Comrade-Sergei> KrAsHeR just restart amaroK it fixes it for me
[03:01] <Flannel> gRaCiOsO: It'd be hdc1 for the first partition on the drive, and stuff.  You'll probably want to mount it somewhere in your filesystem.
[03:01] <Pelo> Apollo^101,  can you still boot the -10 kernel ?
[03:02] <gRaCiOsO> Flannel,  sure could u tell me how to do it?
[03:02] <glguy_> apt-cache search libgl doesn't help any more than searching for libgl in Synaptec did
[03:02] <Apollo^101> yes.........
[03:02] <neilthereildeil> hyperactivecrond: iwconfig says that the eth1 connection "Access Point : Invalid"
[03:02] <Apollo^101> iam talking from it
[03:02] <Apollo^101> Pelo, yes
[03:02] <Flannel> gRaCiOsO: you on Edgy?
[03:02] <Pelo> Apollo^101,   could have been a different computer,  anyway,   try reinstalling the -11 kernel using synaptic, and see it that fixes it
[03:03] <francois> is it possible to see a computer thats on the same network, but behind a 2nd router ?

[03:09] <Pelo> Apollo^101,  it's the current one for edgy 6.10
[03:09] <luis_> ok
[03:09] <freqk> no
[03:09] <Pelo> freqk,  reboot and try again
[03:10] <Joebu[NoR] > i have 2 video cards running on 4 monitors.  how can i configure remote desktop to let me access the far 2 monitors coming off the second video card?
[03:10] <freqk> when I do sudo gdmsetup in terminal, it just gives me a new line.
[03:10] <Apollo^101> Pelo, ok
[03:10] <freqk> All right.
[03:10] <faintofhearts> I'm trying to install Ubuntu 6.06 on a Dell Inspiron 1501 and am running into a kernel panic. Anyone think they can help?
[03:10] <Flannel> faintofhearts: try the alternate CD
[03:10] <faintofhearts> XD
[03:10] <faintofhearts> Fine, I will :P
[03:11] <Pelo> faintofhearts,  did you check the cd like i told you ?
[03:11] <felipe_gabriel> hey guys! anyone knows if make-jpkg is actually working with java 6 packages?
[03:13] <Joebu[NoR] > how do you configure remote desktop to allow a person to log in and see your whole desktop?
[03:13] <shasbot> Lunar_Lamp, i noticed that when i tried tab completion of ndiswrapper, both ndiswrapper and ndiswrapp-1.8 were options
[03:14] <neilthereildeil> hyperactivecrond: are you there?
[03:14] <Pelo> Joebu[NoR] , have you tried looking for help in the forum ?
[03:14] <Zues_63> hey guys is there any sound schemes for UBUNTU?
[03:15] <freqk> Pelo: I rebooted, still no juice. On top of that, I have the xubuntu login window! (Installed the session, didn't want the login!!)
[03:15] <nolimitsoya> Zues_63, everything about ubuntu is sound :P
[03:15] <Pelo> Zues_63,  try www.gnome-look.com
[03:15] <Zues_63> oh ok
[03:15] <shasbot> Lunar_Lamp, i'm going try and reboot and see if the right version of ndiswrapper loads and it works, i have errors related to it in dmesg
[03:15] <Zues_63> coz it only has a login sound thing
[03:15] <freqk>  I rebooted, still no juice. On top of that, I have the xubuntu login window! (Installed the session, didn't want the login!!)
[03:15] <Pelo> freqk,  try gconf-editor  see if you can make the changes you want in that
[03:16] <Lunar_Lamp> shasbot, I have to go now, but try removing all ndiswrapper, and reinstalling the 1.8.
[03:16] <shasbot> Lunar_Lamp, thanks, i will do that
[03:16] <freqk> where would I go from there?
[03:16] <Flannel> freqk: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[03:16] <freqk> already did, no luck
[03:16] <freqk> should i try again?
[03:16] <Joebu[NoR] > Pelo, i couldn't find anything there
[03:16] <freqk> I did.
[03:16] <iman> Hello all, do I need to use a particular method of burning an iso image after i download the installation CD?
[03:17] <Zues_63> what was that link again
[03:17] <iman> cause on virtual machine it always seem to work fine.
[03:17] <Pelo> Joebu[NoR] ,  "check the forum" is what I tell ppl when I don't know the answer
[03:17] <iman> but once i burn it to a cd and do a defective cd test, md5chk fails
[03:17] <freqk> what the hell do i do with gconf-editor? :P
[03:17] <Joebu[NoR] > pelo, ah.   i'll keep looking
[03:17] <Flannel> iman: just burn the ISO like any other.  Burn at 4x.
[03:17] <Zues_63> the sound scheme one
[03:18] <Pelo> Zues_63, www.gnome-look.com,  if you just want to enable sounds for events  look in ubuntu in menu > system > prefs > sounds
[03:18] <freqk> what the hell do i do with gconf-editor? :P

[03:18] <xitrium> Hi, my laptop's NetworkManager isn't showing the wirless interface anymore as an option.
[03:18] <iman> freqk: that depends on why the hell you opened it in the first place, innit?
[03:18] <Pelo> freqk,   look around patiently for stuff that might help
[03:18] <cosmodad> anyone know a (visual) tool to find duplicate images?
[03:18] <Apollo^101> Pelo,  i can find a way to download the latest kernal in kubuntu
[03:19] <freqk> gdmsetup wont launch.
[03:19] <Pelo> cosmodad,  the thumbnails in nautilus ?
[03:19] <rickjones> i need to stop x11 with out shutting down my system. how do i use the gdm ? (sudo gdm stop ) ?
[03:19] <cosmodad> Pelo: is that a question or an answer?
[03:19] <xitrium> Anyone have any idea why network manager would suddenly fail so stupidly?
[03:19] <freqk> what exactly am i looking for?
[03:19] <cosmodad> Pelo: I'm looking for a tool such that I can remove duplicates from my picture collection
[03:20] <Pelo> Apollo^101,   try this,    find the latest kernel in adept , remove it ,   then from the command line,  sudo apt-get  update,  sudo apt-get upgrade
[03:20] <iman> freqk: you'd get some idea if you type `sudo gdmsetup` inside a term- and look at the msg dumps on screen
[03:20] <freqk> All there is is a new line
[03:20] <iman> oh.
[03:20] <Pelo> cosmodad,  if you use the thumbnails view in nautilus , you can see a lot of pictures at once and you can make your selection more easity for deletion
[03:21] <cosmodad> Pelo: I'm looking for something more automatic, this collection of mine is pretty big
[03:21] <Pelo> freqk,  man gdm
[03:21] <KnowledgEngineer> hello
[03:21] <Pelo> cosmodad,  that was my best guess
[03:21] <Apollo^101> what does apt-get ugrade command do in kubunut?
[03:21] <cosmodad> Pelo: alright, thanks
[03:21] <wm_eddie> I wonder should Desktop Effects set gstreamers' video sink to ximagesink?  If you do then you can see video, but it looks pretty bad if it's high quality.
[03:21] <my-nick> help
[03:22] <Pelo> cosmodad,  might those duplicate pictures have identical names ?
[03:22] <guillem> hola gente
[03:22] <rogue780|laptop> is ther a free vmware like piece of software that I can run a virtual windows 98 with?
[03:22] <KnowledgEngineer> i has build my low-latency kernel. I has install rosegarden, jack and configured rosegarden
[03:22] <KnowledgEngineer> rosegarden can play but do not show the note in the score
[03:22] <yurimxpxman> have any of you ever installed DirectX in Wine before?
[03:22] <KnowledgEngineer> the sound is like i need notation fonts
[03:22] <KnowledgEngineer> rosegarden use feta font !
[03:22] <grndslm> rogue780|laptop: both vmware server and player are free!!!
[03:22] <cosmodad> Pelo: FYI, I found something (the kipi-plugins comes with a dup finder that may be used in many KDE apps, such as gwenview)
[03:22] <Pelo> rogue780|laptop,   consider using wine to run your windows applications
[03:22] <grndslm> virtualization rules!
[03:22] <my-nick> I received this error everytime I tried to do apt-get -> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13614/
[03:22] <freqk> man gdm
[03:22] <rogue780|laptop> yurimxpxman, with no success
[03:22] <freqk> ?
[03:23] <wm_eddie> yurimxpxman: Direct X and wine wont work.  Try transgaming.com
[03:23] <freqk> I did man gdm
[03:23] <xitrium> yurimxpxman: Wine comes with as much directx as will work with it, afaik :-P
[03:23] <freqk> now what?
[03:23] <rogue780|laptop> Pelo, i wanted to, but there were issues
[03:23] <xitrium> wm_eddie: wine is adding a lot more support for directx recently
[03:23] <grndslm> rogue780|laptop: what's your end goal?
[03:23] <KnowledgEngineer> !rosegarden
[03:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rosegarden - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:23] <my-nick> altho the apt-get went thru, the error bugs me
[03:23] <my-nick> helppp
[03:23] <wm_eddie> xitrium: That's good.
[03:24] <my-nick> help
[03:24] <jimmio> Is there anyway to speed up Beryl in Ubuntu?
[03:24] <rogue780|laptop> grndslm, really? did not know that -- end goal is to run pc study bible without errors
[03:24] <freqk> I did man gdm. Now what?
[03:24] <iman> freqk: check the bugs section/reporting if it exists. you can directly contact the developer from there. otherwise, you might want to try the laid back method- just uninstall and purge gdm and then reinstall
[03:24] <my-nick> me <- Help!
[03:24] <Vilhelms> Do I always have to restart X for it to detect a secondary monitor plugged in. It always recognizes it if I restart it but it won't if I just plug it in.

[03:25] <dooglus> my-nick: did you add anything weird to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ ?
[03:25] <Pelo> my-nick, look up the error in the forum
[03:25] <grndslm> rogue780|laptop:  grab either vmware server or player (or both to see which one you like better)...and you can install any OS you want on top of it...  I prefer to create my virtual machine and virtual disk with easyvmx.com
[03:25] <freqk> How would I unindtall and purge gdm, and how would I reinstall? And is this safe? Will it work?
[03:25] <my-nick> forum?
[03:25] <Apollo^101> Pelo,  i can not find a way to download the latest kernal in kubuntu
[03:25] <freqk> I got a man page
[03:25] <freqk> nothing usefull
[03:25] <Pelo> freqk,  try doing that in synaptic
[03:26] <cafuego_> freqk: sudo apt-get remove --purge gdm - but why would you purge and reinstall it?
[03:26] <Pelo> Apollo^101,   try this,    find the latest kernel in adept , remove it ,   then from the command line,  sudo apt-get  update,  sudo apt-get upgrade
[03:26] <my-nick> help
[03:26] <cafuego_> freqk: If a config file is busted, there is an easier way.
[03:26] <Pelo> my-nick,   you are not helping your case
 because gdmsetup does not work.
[03:26] <dooglus> my-nick: did you add anything weird to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ ?
 and has no terminal output except a new line
[03:26] <dooglus> my-nick: or mess with your PATH?
[03:27] <iman> cafuego: i am the one who suggested it. and frankly, i don't know. i suppose there's nothing better to do when an a critical app like that breaks in gnome- unless of course you know whats going under the hood.
[03:27] <cafuego_> freqk: Are you running it as root, using sudo?
[03:27] <my-nick> Received a "Bad Device" error everytime I try to do apt-get
[03:27] <my-nick> no
[03:27] <freqk> yes.
[03:27] <cyprene> 70
[03:27] <Pelo> my-nick,   just install vlc from synaptic
[03:27] <my-nick> I didn't
[03:27] <my-nick> the thing is, its not just vlc
[03:27] <dooglus> Pelo: he gets the same error whatever he installs
[03:27] <cafuego_> freqk: Start with 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall gdm'
[03:27] <freqk> Can I give someone remote desktop? So they can check what the problem might be
[03:28] <Pelo> dooglus,  then he should reinstall ubuntu
[03:28] <my-nick> anything I try to install thru apt-get, I receive dis error

[03:28] <grndslm> question....i have a 4gb jump drive that i'm going to install ubuntu on for portability reasons...would it be easier to also carry around a wallet-size cd that upon bootup points to the jump drive...or should i just use the jump drive as a vmware guest and download vmware player on the computer i'm using??
[03:28] <freqk> Ok
[03:28] <Pelo> freqk, same suggestion,  back up your data and reinstall ubuntu
[03:28] <cafuego_> grndslm: You cna plonk the ISO on the drive and boot off that
[03:29] <freqk> There's got to be a better way
[03:29] <freqk> wont reinstall gdm work?
[03:29] <Vilhelms> Do I always have to restart X for it to detect a secondary monitor plugged in. It always recognizes it if I restart it but it won't if I just plug it in.
[03:29] <Pelo> grndslm,  you can run ubuntu off live cd and usb drive for /home
[03:29] <freqk> I'll try 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall gdm now
[03:29] <quaal> is there a way to make the mouse active so you can drag a box around files and select them?
[03:29] <quaal> (in gnome, nautilus)
[03:29] <grndslm> Pelo:  I'd be limited to ubuntu base programs, tho, right?
[03:30] <rogue780|laptop> grndslm, is there a way to apt-get vmware player?
[03:30] <Pelo> quall only in icon mode, not in list mode
[03:30] <grndslm> cafuego_:  iso on the jump drive?  and it boots automagically?
[03:30] <quaal> Pelo, oh.. well that sucks
[03:30] <rogue780|laptop> grndslm, and a place to download a windows98 bootdisk?
[03:30] <cafuego_> grndslm: No, it would need a bit of work on your behalf
[03:30] <grndslm> rogue780|laptop:  yes...  aptitude install vmware-player i believe...then vmplayer to start it once it's done
[03:30] <cafuego_> I'm sure the wiki has details, though
[03:30] <Pelo> grndslm,  I think you can make your own live cd with the apps you want on it but I don'T know how
[03:30] <dooglus> rogue780|laptop: http://bootdisk.com/
[03:30] <kmy23> Hey Gents and Ladies. I have a problem that completely baffles me.
[03:30] <grndslm> rogue780|laptop:  just use aptitude search vmware and you can see what's available...can't remember if server was in the repos or not
[03:31] <Pelo> kmy23,   don'T keep us in suspence
[03:31] <my-nick> :(
[03:31] <my-nick> help me
[03:31] <rogue780|laptop> grndslm, thanks
[03:31] <cafuego_> No, player is... but I believe the modules are not available for the latest kernel.
[03:31] <rogue780|laptop> dooglus, thanks
[03:31] <Pelo> my-nick, I suggest you back up your data and reinstall ubuntu from scratch
[03:31] <freqk> Take a look at the pm
[03:31] <my-nick> wha.. again?
[03:31] <freqk> dooglus: take a look at the pm
[03:32] <dooglus> freqk: did you know you have to register before you can send pms?
[03:32] <dooglus> freqk: ie. I didn't get anything
[03:32] <kmy23> My audio recently stopped working on 6.10, so I tried to apt-get uninstall the audio packages. I didn't realize when my screen flashed black that ti was changing some GNOME settings. Now, I can't get GNOME to start at all. Basically, it'll drop me to a tty at boot, and startx only takes me to the x server (X ursor, black/white background). What can I do?
[03:32] <grndslm> rogue780|laptop: what do you need the boot disk for?
[03:32] <freqk> Really?
[03:32] <cafuego_> my-nick: Ugh. First step would be to reconfigure X.
[03:32] <freqk> How/where do i do that?
[03:32] <dooglus> freqk: type /msg nickserv register pa$$word
[03:32] <Pelo> my-nick,  there is know reason I know of why you would have those kind of problem installing everything so you probably had a problem on install, install again and hope for the best,  if youbac up your entire home folder you won'T loose your settings
[03:32] <dooglus> freqk: where pa$$word is secret
[03:32] <cafuego_> my-nick: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg'
[03:32] <harry> can I use the c shell in ubuntu?
[03:33] <kmy23> I tried that without the -plow
[03:33] <rogue780|laptop> grndslm, the windows98 I'm installing is first edition
[03:33] <kmy23> Same issue, but limited to one monitor ;-)
[03:33] <SeveredCross> Shouldn't it be -phigh?
[03:33] <rogue780|laptop> it's all I've got layin' 'round
[03:33] <SeveredCross> That's the way I've usually seen it..
[03:33] <cafuego_> kmy23: Check ~/.xsession-errors to see why Gnome won't start.
[03:33] <grndslm> cafuego_:  but you're essentially saying that i not go the vmware route, to install ubuntu on the drive...what about mobo's that don't boot from usb??
[03:33] <Pelo> kmy23,  boot in recovery mode and type   sudo apt-get  install  ubuntu-desktop , should restore your gnome and all those ittle files you deleted
[03:33] <cafuego_> grndslm: You won't be able to sue them, in which base just use a cd.
[03:34] <my-nick> cafuego_: if I do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg", will my beryl settings be intact?
[03:34] <freqk> There
[03:34] <freqk> Got the pm?
[03:34] <SeveredCross> my-nick: You might have to re-enable the changes Beryl made, if any.

[03:34] <kmy23> cafuego: I'm on the live CD right now, and I get an error when I mount the partition with ubuntu on it. Did i miss something?
[03:34] <cafuego_> my-nick: Yes, but not any changes you may have made to Xorg.conf
[03:34] <grndslm> rogue780|laptop:  you shouldn't need a boot disk with vmware...
[03:34] <Vilhelms> Do I always have to restart X for it to detect a secondary monitor plugged in? It always recognizes it if I restart it but it won't if I just plug it in.
[03:34] <grndslm> rogue780|laptop:  but perhaps i am wrong about first edition
[03:35] <cafuego_> my-nick: Mind you, beryl is horribly buggy, so your first step should be to get rid of it and then see if the problem still exists.
[03:35] <rogue780|laptop> grndslm, first edition wasn't a bootable cd
[03:35] <my-nick> cafuego_: what does my error have anything to do with X?
[03:35] <Pelo> Vilhelms,   monitors get detected when x starts so I guess yes
[03:35] <kmy23> error: could not execute pmount?
[03:35] <grndslm> interesting
[03:35] <cafuego_> my-nick: "X Error:" - it says so right there.
[03:35] <my-nick> cafuego_: Oh.. I see..
[03:36] <kmy23> Brb
[03:36] <cafuego_> it's complaining about a misconfigured or missing keyboard/mouse/wacom pad/whatever
[03:36] <kmy23> booting to ubuntu
[03:38] <cafuego_> Hmm, lovely silence...
[03:38] <grndslm> cafuego_: so...i'm assuming that the flash drive/walletsize cd for booting on old mobos *would* be generally be faster than vmware on older hardware, right?
[03:39] <cafuego_> grndslm: Yup
[03:39] <grndslm> i'll prolly go that route then
[03:39] <cafuego_> grndslm: You can be pretty sure it's faster on newer hardware too.
[03:39] <LeoNz> Anyone: Are there any Benefits using ubuntu
[03:39] <grndslm> yea...true, true
[03:39] <grndslm> LeoNz:  too many
[03:39] <LeoNz> Ubuntu > windows?
[03:39] <grndslm> of course
[03:40] <LeoNz> kk
[03:40] <grndslm> there are a few exceptions to the rule..but for the most part...
[03:40] <cafuego_> LeoNz: Sometimes, yes. Usually these days.
[03:40] <grndslm> ubuntu kicks windows' ass
[03:40] <Pelo> LeoNz,  I use it because I find the experince more enjoyable,  and I realy hated working with XP,  I also like the FREE aspect
[03:40] <LeoNz> i can still use microsoft programs right?
[03:40] <LeoNz> Pelo: hehe kk
[03:40] <cafuego_> LeoNz: You can install windows is a virtual amchine and use it as an application in ubuntu.
[03:40] <knapp> Where might I find update logs?
[03:40] <LeoNz> should i try out the beta first or use the last version?
[03:41] <jenn> how do I shrink my windows xp partition so I can create a new partition and install the ubuntu on the new partition?
[03:41] <preaction> LeoNz: some, but not all. why would you want to? most MS programs have a free alternative. some even work with the sae file formats
[03:41] <grndslm> LeoNz:  with wine you can run some apps...with vmware you can use a lotta hardware resources to virtualize a windows install (but you must have the cd)...
[03:41] <odium> have encountered a major snag. GDM launches but cannot initiate a gnome session, nor does it launch metacity. Can someone advise?!
[03:41] <Pelo> LeoNz,  technicaly no you can't use window programs,  but there are linux alternatives and you can run some windows programs on the wine compatibility layer
[03:41] <cables> What's that dpkg-reconfigure command for reconfiguring a broken X?
[03:41] <grndslm> exactly...you'll want native linux apps anyway, LeoNz
[03:41] <cafuego_> LeoNz: Try 6.10 first, it's not hard to upgrade to 7.04 once it's released.
[03:41] <grndslm> where possible
[03:41] <cables> jenn, the LIveCD installer makes it pretty obvious
[03:41] <LeoNz> alright
[03:41] <jenn> cables, LiveCd does not work for me. I get a blank screen, so I have to use alternate CD.
[03:41] <Pelo> cableroy,   sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:41] <cables> jenn, then i dunno
[03:41] <cables> Pelo, thanks
[03:42] <krabador> if i must hardly works with audio , with ubuntu i'm dead....
[03:42] <LeoNz> because im plannin to reformat, should i reformat into XP, then install ubuntu?
[03:42] <grndslm> LeoNz:  be warned that things are different...but once you learn how to do things, you'll find that it's usually much much easier
[03:42] <grndslm> LeoNz:  why not just use the 6.10 desktop cd and shrink your windows partition?
[03:42] <Taime1> is there a way to return to "factory settings" as far as fonts are concerned? i have fiddled with mine to the point that they look like ass... i was hoping there was a file i could delete that would recreate itself...
[03:42] <shaslap> hey, my ndiswrappered card is not working, i check dmesg and got the following error, any advice? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13617/
[03:42] <LeoNz> Ah k, if i have any trouble ill coem back in here
[03:42] <LeoNz> hehe
[03:42] <Pelo> LeoNz,  use the ubuntu live cd to partition your hdd in two,  the install xp on one partition and ubuntu on the other , install xp first
[03:42] <grndslm> LeoNz: then you can try it out and know for sure if your hardware is fully compatible
[03:43] <Taime1> oh sorry bout the language...
[03:43] <LeoNz> yeh alright ill give it a try
[03:43] <Pelo> Taime1, I can give you the defaults frm my install ,  goto  system > prefs > fonts
[03:43] <Taime1> k
[03:43] <Pelo> Taime1,  let me know when you are there
[03:44] <Taime1> im there

[03:44] <my-nick> I dc'ed
[03:44] <PMantis> Hello! I'm trying to create a very simple DEB package as a training exercise... getting error from dpkg
[03:44] <grndslm> krabador:  might have better luck in #alsa, but you can of course try asking the real question here instead of "do you know the answer to my question?"
[03:44] <PMantis> tar: -: file name read contains nul character
[03:44] <LeoNz> one more thing, can photoshop work on ubuntu?
[03:44] <krabador> thanx grndslm
[03:45] <Pelo> PMantis,  look up the error msg in the forum
[03:45] <grndslm> np
[03:45] <my-nick> what was the command again? the dpg-reconfigure command line for X?
[03:45] <wm_eddie> LeoNz: Yeah, but you should check out gimp first.
[03:45] <LeoNz> gimp?
[03:45] <grndslm> my-nick:  dpkg-reconfigure
[03:45] <Pelo> LeoNz,   you can use  Gimp as a photoshop alternative
[03:45] <LeoNz> alright
[03:45] <kmy23> Howdy
[03:45] <cables> LeoNz, it's built into Ubuntu, comes preinstalled
[03:45] <wm_eddie> The Gimp is our answer to photoshop
[03:45] <clearzen> my-nick: dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[03:45] <xtheblack9x> whats the command to boot up X?
[03:45] <cafuego_> PMantis: That's not an error, just ignore.
[03:45] <grndslm> what's the -phigh for?
[03:45] <Pelo> LeoNz,   the gimp is part of the live cd , you can just boot it up and try it
[03:45] <cables> xtheblack9x, startx i believe
[03:45] <LeoNz> ah k
[03:45] <wm_eddie> LeoNz: It's not the same, but it's pretty good, and will always be free.
[03:45] <xtheblack9x> thanks
[03:45] <vox754> broadcom chipsets? take a look here http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/?go=devices
[03:45] <EADG> I'd like to change the font in tty (not the resolution - thats fine) Could somebody point me in the right direction to get me started... tutorial, wikki, etc.
[03:45] <Pelo> xtheblack9x,   ctrl alt backspace
[03:46] <Taime1> Pelo: what is your dpi?
[03:46] <Pelo> Taime1,   holdon
[03:46] <LeoNz> but theres a way to install photoshop yeh?
[03:46] <wastrel> no
[03:46] <Taime1> thank you very much, by the way
[03:46] <vox754> Latest stable ndiswrapper is 1.41, get it from source, and compile it yourself
[03:46] <my-nick> cafuego_ : what was the command line to reconfigure X?
[03:46] <kmy23> cafuego_: The errors in .xsession_errors are that "Window manager lost connect to display ":0". Most likely the x-server shut down or was killed/destroyed
[03:46] <asaup> hi all
[03:46] <asaup> how can i save the resolv.conf because every time i restart it changes
[03:46] <cables> my-nick, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:46] <wm_eddie> LeoNz: It's more painful than it's worth.  But check out winehq.org for more info on that
[03:46] <clearzen>  LeoNz: not that I know of. Gimp can do *most* of what photoshop can do though
[03:47] <Pelo> Taime1,  96  but I think i messed with it ,  I'm using a 1028x1280 rezolution and my eyes aren'T what they were
[03:47] <cafuego_> EADG: /etc/console-tools/config
[03:47] <my-nick> ok thanks
[03:47] <LeoNz> ah alright
[03:47] <Taime1> haha, thanx
[03:47] <EADG> cafuego: I'll look at that.
[03:47] <kmy23> Does anyone know what that means, or more importantly how I can fix it
[03:47] <PMantis> cafuego, Wow. the simply things... passed it a package name including version and .deb... worked fine.
[03:47] <kmy23> I prefer my terminals in neat little windows, not full-screen :-P
[03:47] <Pelo> Taime1,  smoothign : grey scale,  hintnng medium,  subpixel order  bvr
[03:47] <PMantis> Guess I was doing it right.
[03:47] <PMantis> cafuego, thanks
[03:47] <mikeciance> i'm having a couple of problems.  first, ubuntu will only recognize my keyboard when i manually set the language to english.  second, my "greeter app" keeps crashing, and i am being presented with an alternate login screen from which i cannot change the language - i'm completely stuck.  can anybody help me with this?
[03:48] <shasbot> hey, my ndiswrappered card is not working, i check dmesg and got the following error, any advice? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13617/
[03:48] <kmy23> Does anyone know if there's a quick way to reinstall X and Gnome from command line while keeping all of your prefs?
[03:49] <wastrel> kmy23:  why do you want to do that?
[03:49] <odium> What could it mean if I had a serious problem running Xorg, including lost fixed font directories, GDM was unable to launch gnome or metacity?
[03:49] <bruenig> kmy23, that is quite a task there
[03:49] <odium> How can I manually execute gnome?
[03:49] <cpalma0> i'm running into a problem while doing sudo ltsp-build-client, could someone pls check what's going on? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13618/
[03:49] <Pelo> kmy23,  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[03:49] <grndslm> asaup:  try using the graphical network app  system -> admin -> networking
[03:49] <kmy23> Wastrel: For some reason GNOME stopped launching. I get X, but then it hangs these. I have no idea what to do.
[03:49] <kmy23> The only error I get is following
[03:49] <vox754> shasbot, broadcom chipsets? take a look here http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/?go=devices
[03:50] <kmy23> cafuego_: The errors in .xsession_errors are that "Window manager lost connect to display ":0". Most likely the x-server shut down or was killed/destroyed
[03:50] <LeoNz> would dell drivers work, like my dell truemobile?
[03:50] <vox754> shasbot, Latest stable ndiswrapper is 1.41, get it from source, and compile it yourself
[03:50] <Pelo> odium,   type gnome in the terminal
[03:50] <cafuego_> LeoNz: The best we cna say is "maybe" ;-)
[03:50] <LeoNz> lol
[03:50] <LeoNz> ill give it a go
[03:50] <guero> anyone know how to get itunes to work?
[03:50] <grndslm> hah
[03:50] <LeoNz> i can always find a way to reformat
[03:50] <asaup> grndslm: i tried it
[03:50] <Pelo> kmy23,  do you pay attention to the answers you get ?
[03:50] <shasbot> vox754, it is a broadcom 4318, i'll take a look at that page
[03:50] <odium> peio, gnome: command not found.
[03:50] <cafuego_> kmy23: So X is killed. What does /var/log/Xorg.0.log have to say about that?
[03:50] <asaup> but anyways it changes when i restart
[03:50] <bruenig> kmy23, and you think simply replacing all the files with the same exact things and not touching configuration will do something?
[03:50] <Pelo> guero,  I thnk there is a linux arternative ,  gtktune or someting
[03:50] <kmy23> Pelo, I didn't notice any answers, sorry.
[03:51] <Pelo> kmy23,  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[03:51] <mikeciance> i have also heard of gtktune, i think he is right
[03:51] <mikeciance> i'm having a couple of problems.  first, ubuntu will only recognize my keyboard when i manually set the language to english.  second, my "greeter app" keeps crashing, and i am being presented with an alternate login screen from which i cannot change the language - i'm completely stuck.  can anybody help me with this?
[03:51] <grndslm> asaup:  might have something to do with resolvconf...i remember i had a problem, but the files are not the same as they were a year or so ago
[03:52] <asaup> :D
[03:52] <asaup> grndslm: anyways thanx
[03:52] <zen> Could someone please take a quick look at this paste and tell me how to fix this?  (Its a checkinstall that's trying to overwrite another file, I think.)  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13620/
[03:52] <odium> I think I've recovered.
[03:52] <kmy23> Allright, Xorg.0.log's first error is: Error opening /dev/wacom: No such file or directory.
[03:53] <odium> luckily someone else had a similar issue.
[03:53] <grndslm> asaup:  might try grabbing network-manager-gnome and see if that helps
[03:53] <kmy23> That repeats a few times
[03:53] <kmy23> It ends with 3 lines saying it cannot find 3 folders( appear to be fonts)
[03:53] <grndslm> asaup:  that might only be the feisty version that handles static ips, tho
[03:53] <quaal> anyone know a program that will remove the vob files from a dvd, and keep them in .vob ?
[03:53] <Pelo> kmy23,   back up your /home folder and reinstall ubuntu
[03:53] <quaal> dvd:rip and acidrip dont seem to do the job
[03:53] <preaction> quaal: mount the dvd and copy the files?
[03:54] <quaal> preaction, encryption.
[03:54] <clearzen> quaal: I believe k9copy will do that
[03:54] <quaal> it worked to play them off the HD, but when i burned it it didnt work
[03:54] <bruenig> xdvdshrink probably
[03:54] <grndslm> kmy23:  just keep doing dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg until you get it right....couldn't hurt to try several times
[03:54] <odium> zen, what  does "file /etc/gconf" report? Directory?
[03:54] <felipe_gabriel> hey guys... muy k3b is requirin libmad... but i have already installed it
[03:54] <grndslm> kmy23:  the wacom thing can be commented out in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:54] <elb> So, I reported https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/slang2/+bug/47855 nearly a year ago, it's a bug in a package required for minimal install caused by a patch applied *by the packager*, and I've seen no replies on the bug report or any indication that anyone cares ... does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this escalated?
[03:54] <kmy23> OK, I'll keep cranking out reconfigs and I'll backup my /home, and do the ubuntu-desktop
[03:55] <felipe_gabriel> anyone knows which could possibly be the problem?
[03:55] <zen> odium, yep
[03:55] <odium> weird, I'm stumped.
[03:55] <asaup> adept has found some feisty packages for me but it says that i have to open the kubuntu update to upgrade to feisty
[03:55] <preaction> elb: submit a patch?
[03:55] <jenn> here goes my lame attempt to install a dual-boot setup
[03:56] <asaup> what can i do or maybe i have only to do apt-get ?
[03:56] <elb> preaction: I don't *need* to submit a patch --- the broken patch simply needs to be removed
[03:56] <kmy23> grndslm: Yeah, but the wacom device has always been there. The last errors are "Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/X11/???, Removing from list" where ??? = {TTF, OTF, CID}
[03:56] <mikeciance> haha, jenn you and me both
[03:56] <jenn> hmmm... if I sucessfully install both system, how do I get to pick the system I want to boot?
[03:56] <mikeciance> it has a menu
[03:56] <mintsoup> I have a couple questions about kernels--first being, I currently have linux-generic installed, but I have a pentium 4.. Should I be using 386 or 686?
[03:56] <cafuego_> kmy23: You cna ignore the font dir warnings
[03:56] <odium> 686 mintsoup
[03:57] <Pelo> jenn,  install ubuntu last, it will install grub boot manager and scan for other os
[03:57] <mintsoup> how should I install that odium?
[03:57] <kmy23> OK, I'll just try to reconfigure it
[03:57] <odium> I'm not sure
[03:57] <kmy23> thanks for all the help!
[03:57] <grndslm> kmy23:  in terminal -> sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf and put a # in front of every line regarding wacom or tablet input devices
[03:57] <mikeciance> i'm having a couple of problems.  first, ubuntu will only recognize my keyboard when i manually set the language to english.  second, my "greeter app" keeps crashing, and i am being presented with an alternate login screen from which i cannot change the language - i'm completely stuck.  can anybody help me with this?
[03:57] <grndslm> kmy23:  but i think that X should still start even with those lines there
[03:58] <jenn> Pelo, ok... I done the windows installation. I have created a partition for ubuntu. Now I'm going to install ubuntu on that new partition. Does this sound good?.....
[03:58] <jenn> ugh...
[03:58] <zen> Anyone else able to figure this out?
[03:58] <mikeciance> jenn, that sounds good
[03:58] <Pelo> jenn,  yes , and  at the end grub will make you a dual boot menu
[03:59] <jenn> Pelo, I'm glad it does. thanks...and thanks.
[03:59] <Pelo> !restricted > guero
[03:59] <mikeciance> did you make a third "swap" partition?
[03:59] <xircx> !windows restore
[03:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about windows restore - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:59] <odium> I would file a bug report but I don't think I know what happened.
[03:59] <jenn> mikeciance, yes.. I made a third swap partition.
[03:59] <xircx> !grub
[03:59] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[03:59] <jenn> mikeciance, thanks for the assurance.
[04:00] <mikeciance> jenn, no problem.  good luck with your dual boot
[04:01] <mikeciance> hopefully it goes better than mine
[04:01] <jenn> Mikeciance, noo... mine has been worse.
[04:02] <jenn> Mikeciance, I've lost my previous ubuntu installation while trying to do dual boot setup with xp. ;)
[04:02] <mintsoup> How do I install linux-686 then boot with it?  If I use 'sudo aptitude install linux-686' as per http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=186792 then reboot, there is no option in grub to boot with 686..
[04:02] <LeoNz> I got to go, thanks for the help guys, im really excited to enter the ubuntu community, after i finish a few things, ill reformat and then install ubunutu
[04:03] <LordTureis> mintsoup: is there an option for linux-generic?
[04:03] <mintsoup> yes
[04:03] <LordTureis> linux-generic replace linux-686 in Edgy, so that should work
[04:03] <mikeciance> jenn... i have still not really GOTTEN my ubuntu partition, i keep getting blocked out by problems
[04:03] <mollick2> can i install wine on a 64 bit unubtu?
[04:03] <mollick2> *ubuntu
[04:03] <mintsoup> so i should be using linux-generic?
[04:04] <mikeciance> wait, a regular pc shoul duse linux-686?
[04:04] <LordTureis> wait, what?
[04:04] <Pelo> fyi guys the linux itune thing is gtkpod
[04:04] <jenn> mikeciance, so you cannot seem to get ubuntu installed at all, huh? Well sorry to hear that... I wonder what error you get?
[04:05] <mikeciance> well no it is installed, but incapacitated
[04:05] <LordTureis> mintsoup: it should work, check gnome-system-monitor > resources tab, it should show 2 cpus
[04:05] <mikeciance> ubuntu will only recognize my keyboard when i manually set the language to english.  also, my "greeter app" keeps crashing, and i am being presented with an alternate login screen from which i cannot change the language - i'm completely stuck.
[04:05] <grndslm> what happened to sharpmusique and such....i know i had seen it in the repos before
[04:05] <Pelo> LordTureis,   the generic-kernel is a bogus package that selects the right kernel version for your system,  pay it no attention
[04:06] <LordTureis> pelo: ok, so thats how it works, I wasn't sure
[04:06] <jenn> mikeciance, ounch... that's whole lots of problems. Try fresh install?...
[04:06] <Pelo> grndslm,  stuff gets dropped,   search for it in wikipedia,  get the homepage link frm there and get deb package if they have one
[04:06] <grndslm> LordTureis:  you're trying to transfer files to an ipod?
[04:06] <stormy|> has x64 Edgy gotten a bit more 'stable' and whatnot?
[04:06] <stormy|> I had alot of problems when i was installing it
[04:06] <LordTureis> wait what?
[04:06] <stormy|> (quite a few months ago I mean)
[04:07] <LordTureis> where did that come from?
[04:07] <grndslm> you can't see colors?
[04:07] <grndslm> or see your own name?
[04:07] <felipe_gabriel> well... i found what was the problem with k3b
[04:07] <felipe_gabriel> it was still requiring a package
[04:07] <mikeciance> ok, i guess i will try a fresh install, it is just hard to install with the on-screen keyboard lol
[04:08] <Pelo> LordTureis,  he got you confused with someone else,  it hapens a lot in a channel this busy, pay it no mind
[04:08] <felipe_gabriel> from k3b itself
[04:08] <tgelter> hey people - I can't get into a virtual terminal w/ CTRL-ALT-F1, CTRL-ALT-F2, CTRL-ALT-F3, etc. Any ideas?
[04:08] <grndslm> LordTureis:  just letting you know that if your pod has the hfs filesystem on it...i'd *highly* recommend you formatting it to fat
[04:08] <SirBob1701> are there any decent iso burners for ubuntu? or do i have to command line it?
[04:08] <LordTureis> grndslm: not me, sry
[04:08] <Pici> SirBob1701: There k3b and gnomebaker
[04:08] <Pelo> tgelter,   make a launcher on your desktop for  xterm
[04:09] <stutsman> Ok, I have another question......
[04:09] <stutsman> Is there a way for me to make a complete copy of one hard drive onto another?
[04:09] <tgelter> Pelo: I already have launchers for the terminal, but I want to be able to use the virtual terminal
[04:09] <stutsman> Like I want to make an EXACT replica of my Ubuntu hard drive unto a empty hard drive
[04:09] <tgelter> so that if the x-server crashes, I don't have to worry about things I've got running
[04:09] <dooglus> stutsman: 'man dd'
[04:10] <grndslm> stutsman:  dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb something like that
[04:10] <stutsman> wow
[04:10] <Pelo> tgelter,  are you talking about the alt+f2   run dialog box ?
[04:10] <dooglus> stutsman: best if nothing is mounted on the drive you're copying from
[04:10] <stormy|> So nobody knows if people have been having as many problems lately with x64 Edgy?
[04:10] <dooglus> Pelo: he's talking about control-alt-f1 - the virtual console
[04:10] <grndslm> stutsman:  yea, live cd would be best to do that
[04:10] <mikeciance> virtual console... like on wii lol
[04:10] <tgelter> Pelo: no, CTRL-ALT-F# for different TTY virtual terminals
[04:10] <stutsman> dooglus: is there a website or something you can send me to for help with this?
[04:11] <JP79> hey im trying to mount a second harddrive to my system and the command "mount -t ext /dev/hdb /usr1" doesnt seem to be working.  whats wrong with my syntax?
[04:11] <grndslm> stutsman just type 'man dd'
[04:11] <dooglus> stutsman: dd if=<input file> of=<output file>
[04:11] <dooglus> that's all
[04:11] <stutsman> I've got a live  CD thats not a problem
[04:11] <grndslm> stutsman:  man is the best command ever
[04:11] <Pelo> stormy|,  from what I have seen  the general concessus is to install a 32 bit version instead,  since not all thingys like flash and stuff work under the 64 bit version
[04:11] <grndslm> learn to use it
[04:11] <stutsman> I definatly will.... I"m pretty new to Ubuntu and linux... so I have a TON to learn
[04:12] <stormy|> Pelo: ,I currently have 32bit Firefox with flash installed on my 64bit dapper... if I upgrade OSes, will I have the problems with the funky boot up logo and stuff... and will my files and installations be preserved?
[04:13] <grndslm> 32bit flash on 64bit dapper?  i thought that couldn't be done without hardcore compiling
[04:13] <stormy|> ;)
[04:13] <stormy|> I found a tutorial
[04:13] <stormy|> lol
[04:13] <stormy|> haha , all I know is, I got it working :)
[04:13] <grndslm> ahh...well, yea...that's too much hassle for me
[04:14] <cpalma0> hi, i keep running into this problem http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13618/ while doing sudo ltsp-build-client, any ideas?
[04:14] <JP79> hey im trying to mount a second harddrive to my system and the command "mount -t ext /dev/hdb /usr1" doesnt seem to be working.  whats wrong with my syntax? no one knows?  the harddrive also has ubuntu on there, but im planning to format it... if that helps any
[04:14] <peepsalot> does anyone know a command I can use to delete all files that match a pattern throughout a directory tree?
[04:14] <Flannel> JP79: hdb isn't a partition.  You probably want hdb1
[04:14] <grndslm> JP79: ext3 perhaps?
[04:14] <JP79> Flannel ahhhh ill try that
[04:14] <JP79> brb
[04:14] <craigbass1976> how do I shut off iptables? I thought /etc/init.d/iptables stop would do it.
[04:14] <stormy|> grndslm:  I used an install script if I remember correctly... it was extremely easy
[04:16] <Flannel> craigbass1976: IPtables isn't the issue with your setup.  Why are you using php4?  Also, which version of ubuntu are you using?
[04:16] <jenn> help - I created a new parition... restarted and I get "Error loading operating System"
[04:16] <Apollo^101>  can i upgrade kubuntu 6.10 from a live cd of kubuntu fiesty ?
[04:17] <Scunizi> pepsalot: what's the pattern
[04:17] <zyth> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD <-- YAY
[04:17] <craigbass1976> balls, wrong button.  What did you say flannel?
[04:17] <Flannel> Apollo^101: yes.  Install Edgy then upgrade to Feisty
[04:17] <Flannel> craigbass1976: IPtables isn't the issue with your setup.  Why are you using php4?  Also, which version of ubuntu are you using?
[04:17] <mikeciance> jenn, did you resize the windows partition or install it fresh?
[04:17] <Flannel> Apollo^101: oh, wait.  Sorry.  misread that.  No.  The alt CD is the only one you can upgrade with.
[04:17] <jenn> resized it...
[04:17] <Pelo> for future reference,  how does one get out of the virutal terminal back to X without rebooting the computer ????
[04:18] <mikeciance> your partition may have gotten corrupted
[04:18] <craigbass1976> This is a different issue.  Trying to connect to mysql remotely with openoffice and I'm not sure if it's an authentication issue or firewall.
[04:18] <Flannel> Pelo: ctrl-alt-f7 is the GUI
[04:18] <Apollo^101> Flannel, the alt cd?  i have live cd. whats alt cd?
[04:18] <mon^rch> Pelo: ctrl + alt + f7
[04:18] <Pelo> Flannel,  thank you
[04:18] <Pelo> thank you mon^rch
[04:18] <Flannel> craigbass1976: you need to setup your mysql to bind more loosely.  Right now it's probably setup to only connect with localhost
[04:18] <mon^rch> too slow :)
[04:18] <mikeciance> jenn, did you back up your windows files?
[04:18] <Flannel> craigbass1976: also, for your php issue, you need libapache2-mod-php4
[04:19] <stormy|> grndslm:  so you think it's safe for me to upgrade to edgy? or will I have to reinstall everything?
[04:19] <Apollo^101> Flannel, the alt cd?  i have live cd. whats alt cd?
[04:19] <Flannel> Apollo^101: releases.ubuntu.com/7.04/ get the "alternate" cd
[04:19] <Pelo> Apollo^101,   the alternate installation cd is a text base installation cd for ppl who have problems getting the gui on the live cd to work properlyh
[04:19] <Flannel> !upgrade | stormy|
[04:19] <craigbass1976> Flannel, ahh,  thanks. As to mysql, I granted to me@laptop-ipaddress
[04:19] <ubotu> stormy|: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[04:19] <eXcaliBuR> how can i remove a directory that is not empty?
[04:19] <eXcaliBuR> or at least rename it
[04:19] <Flannel> craigbass1976: that's permission stuff, I'm talking about in the config file itself.
[04:19] <dooglus> eXcaliBuR: "rm -r non-empty-directory"
[04:19] <jenn> mikeciance, windows files were not important at all.
[04:20] <Pelo> eXcaliBuR,  sudo rm  /path
[04:20] <dooglus> Pelo: you what?
[04:20] <mikeciance> jenn, thats good
[04:20] <grndslm> stormy| that's a fairly technical thing that i can't answer...not sure about a fluid 64bit upgrade
[04:20] <mikeciance> lol
[04:20] <jenn> mikeciance, I will try xp recovery.
[04:20] <Pelo> eXcaliBuR,  to rename it , select and f2
[04:20] <Scunizi> ExcaliBuR: rm -rf non-empty-directory
[04:20] <Apollo^101> ok
[04:20] <eXcaliBuR> that worked so nicely
[04:20] <eXcaliBuR> thank you
[04:20] <eXcaliBuR> :)
[04:20] <mikeciance> jenn, a recovery cd?
[04:20] <Pelo> dooglus,  what ???
[04:20] <Apollo^101> which is the latest kernel that kubuntu edgy and fiesty supports?
[04:20] <grndslm> stormy|:  i wouldn't even bother upgrading until feisty's out anyway
[04:20] <dooglus> Pelo: it's not empty.  how is 'rm /path' going to do anything?
[04:20] <grndslm> only a couple more weeks
[04:20] <Flannel> craigbass1976: Your thing (the user@place) only happens once you've connected to mysql.  This is before that, the mysql daemon is actually ignoring all requests, sans localhost.
[04:20] <jenn> mikeciance, yes... I will boot up windows xp and try the recover option.
[04:20] <Flannel> craigbass1976: it's in /etc/mysql/my.cnf
[04:21] <eXcaliBuR> Scunizi: i'm using command line only
[04:21] <eXcaliBuR> my server don't have the gui
[04:21] <stormy|> Flannel:  I'm also asking about if the previous problems I have encountered with older versions of Edgy have been fixed, so I dont think the bot can help me there?
[04:21] <Pelo> dooglus,   /path being the path of the folder
[04:21] <Flannel> stormy|: For upgrading? or what?
[04:21] <dooglus> eXcaliBuR: '-r' is for 'recursive', so it goes through all the files inside removing them
[04:21] <Scunizi> eXcaliBur: ok.. but it worked?
[04:21] <eXcaliBuR> yup
[04:21] <Flannel> stormy|: the upgrade page has upgrade notes.
[04:21] <Pelo> dooglus,  are you saying that rm will not delete a folder with content in it ?
[04:21] <Scunizi> good
[04:21] <eXcaliBuR> thanks
[04:22] <clearzen> Pelo:not unless you use the -r option
[04:22] <dooglus> Pelo: that's what I'm saying.  if you want it to remove non-empty folders, you'll need the '-r' flag
[04:22] <Pelo> eXcaliBuR,  http://www.linuxcommand.org/index.php
[04:22] <stormy|> Flannel:  Above I asked about if many people have been having problems with it... Ive been searching google with no results
[04:22] <Arrick> hi all
[04:22] <Scunizi> Pelo: that's why you have to use -rf  .. it forces it
[04:22] <Flannel> stormy|: Problems with what?  Edgy upgrades?  Or edgy itself?
[04:22] <Arrick> Flannel, have a question you may be able to answer
[04:23] <mikeciance> well, i am goign to go and try reinstalling ubuntu, if i see you all later i have failed
[04:23] <stormy|> Flannel:  a fresh install from a CD-- I had problems getting into the install, It would hang on the boot up screen, and the splash would be black and white instead of color
[04:23] <Arrick> I am trying to create a database for Drupal on the default 6.06.1 Server LAMP install. I am using the following command, and its not letting it go. mysqladmin -u username -p create website
[04:23] <Arrick> what do I need to change other than username?
[04:23] <JP79> thanks flannel it works now
[04:23] <Arrick> mysql by the way
[04:23] <peepsalot> how can I delete all jpg files in any subdirectory of the the current dir?
[04:24] <eXcaliBuR> can i do a mv *.php /var/www to copy all php files to my www dir
[04:24] <Flannel> stormy|: The desktop CD might have some issues.  The AltCD won't.  And Edgy itself, once you've updated, should be stable.
[04:24] <klaus> wuzup dogs
[04:24] <Scunizi> peepsalot: rm *.jpg
[04:24] <Scunizi> peepsalot: make SURE you are in the directory with the jpg's
[04:24] <grndslm> klaus: you see it, homie
[04:24] <peepsalot> Scunizi, i want it to check all subdirectories though
[04:24] <Flannel> Arrick: you'll probably be better served in #mysql.  It's been... far too long since I've done any admin stuff with mysql
[04:25] <Apollo^101> which is the latest kernel that kubuntu edgy and fiesty supports?
[04:25] <Arrick> lol thanks Flannel
[04:25] <Scunizi> peepsalot then rm -r *.jpg
[04:25] <Pelo> Apollo^101,  the latest for edty is 2.6.17-11  for information about feisty ask in #ubuntu+1
[04:25] <peepsalot> Scunizi, that doesn't work.  rm: cannot remove `*.jpg': No such file or directory
[04:25] <peepsalot> i already tried that
[04:26] <klaus> is there any good way to back up  Ubuntu,   besides making a copy of the home folder
[04:26] <Pelo> !backup | klaus
[04:26] <ubotu> klaus: 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
[04:26] <grndslm> klaus:  depends on what you're working with volume of files and volume of disks you have to back up to!
[04:26] <stormy|> Flannel:  so I think I will give this a try. I do hope that It doesn't have problems
[04:26] <klaus> thx ubotu
[04:26] <odium> while doing apt-get install ubuntu desktop, I recieved an error during the installation of  ttf-arphic-ukai

[04:26] <feistyman> Can someone help me with the network manager? I have to click on the internet everytime I boot up. Has someone else had this, or is there a way to change the setting? help, please
[04:27] <trace_in_elkgrov> uboyu
[04:27] <trace_in_elkgrov> ubotu
[04:27] <Scunizi> peepsalot: did it remove the files from the current directory that you're in?
[04:27] <Pelo> trace_in_elkgrov,  uboto is a bot
[04:27] <trace_in_elkgrov> How does it work
[04:27] <trace_in_elkgrov> ???
[04:27] <klaus> I heard that canonical is offering ubuntu training/certification in Germany,   is it going to be in english or in german
[04:27] <grndslm> magic!
[04:27] <trace_in_elkgrov> LOL
[04:27] <Pelo> trace_in_elkgrov,   !triggerword
[04:28] <trace_in_elkgrov> how do I envoke it?
[04:28] <Squeee> trace_in_elkgrov, It respons to certain !(command or packagefile) and explains them
[04:28] <grndslm> fairly simple script
[04:28] <grndslm> !list | trace_in_elkgrov

[04:28] <peepsalot> Scunizi, there are no files in the directory I am in, only hundreds of subdirectories.  and in some of those subirectories are jpg files, which are all still there after that command
[04:28] <Scunizi> peepsalot ok.. try rm -rf *.jpg
[04:28] <klaus> if it's in english ,      im running there
[04:28] <craigbass1976> Flannel, ok, fixed it.

[04:29] <jmg> hey guys i cant find the minimal iso for ubuntu-server
[04:29] <eXcaliBuR> and all you nice people

[04:29] <grndslm> hahaha
[04:29] <peepsalot> Scunizi, same result
[04:30] <eXcaliBuR> :)
[04:30] <bronze_0_1> <3 <3 <3
[04:30] <peepsalot> Scunizi, actually, it doesn't give the same message, but the files are all still there
[04:30] <Scunizi> peepsalot:  hang on I'm looking
[04:30] <LordTureis> peepsalot: you have proper write permissions for all of those folders, right?
[04:30] <eXcaliBuR> i got muh email working... i think... and my web server is up n running
[04:30] <eXcaliBuR> what more can i ask for
[04:31] <madman91> can i use ssh to connect to computers on my network?
[04:31] <madman91> + vnc?
[04:31] <eXcaliBuR> and i'm hosting it all myself
[04:31] <wastrel> mmm
[04:31] <cyris> eXcaliBuR sounds good man
[04:31] <Scunizi> peepsalot:  if the permissions are messed up and they are in your home directory try sudo rm -rf *.jpg
[04:32] <peepsalot> LordTureis, yes i do.  I even tried running the command with sudo
[04:32] <toferrado> Can I use svg like animated wallpaper in my desktop?
[04:32] <peepsalot> permissions are normal
[04:32] <LordTureis> peepsalot: just checking :)
[04:32] <Flannel> If permissions are normal, you don't need sudo.
[04:32] <trace_in_elkgrov> !info nividia
[04:32] <ubotu> Package nividia does not exist in edgy, edgy-backports, edgy-seveas

[04:33] <ubotu> Package nvidia-legacy does not exist in edgy, edgy-backports, edgy-seveas
[04:33] <grndslm> wireless:  nobody can
[04:33] <grndslm> you're screwed
[04:33] <toferrado> Pelo, is possible to use animated wallpaper on ubuntu?
[04:33] <wireless> lol
[04:33] <Pelo> toferrado,  try it and let us know how it goes
[04:33] <Flannel> trace_in_elkgrov: nvidia-glx-legacy
[04:33] <trace_in_elkgrov> TY
[04:33] <toferrado> Pelo, I don't know how...
[04:34] <trace_in_elkgrov> !info nvidia-glx-legacy
[04:34] <peepsalot> wow, thanks wastrel, that seems to have done it
[04:34] <grndslm> wireless:  have you seen this:  http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/ ??
[04:34] <ubotu> nvidia-glx-legacy: NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x/X.Org 'legacy' driver. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1.0.7184+2.6.17.7-11.2 (edgy), package size 2998 kB, installed size 9832 kB
[04:34] <Pelo> toferrado,  I would expect you just select your svg file as a wall paper, from the dialog when you right clck on the desktop
[04:34] <wireless> dings: aye, I've got the latest svn, and am compiling it on my machine
[04:34] <wireless> but the md5 hash doesn match
[04:34] <orehon> hi... How can i hide all icones in my desktop? i am using gnome!
[04:35] <Scunizi> peepsalot, wastrel: What does that command to? Allow deletion of file names with white space?
[04:35] <Pelo> orehon,  there is an option in gconf-editor somewhere
[04:35] <eXcaliBuR> i'm running a 333Mhz with 190 MB Memory... thats enough for my server right?
[04:35] <mon^rch> Pelo: get the windows bliss screensaver and extract the avi :)
[04:35] <Flannel> eXcaliBuR: yep
[04:35] <eXcaliBuR> kool
[04:35] <toferrado> Pelo, where is the svg files?
[04:35] <craigbass1976> eXcaliBuR, plenty probably.  This aint windows. :)
[04:36] <Scunizi> wastrel: does that get rid of file names with white space?
[04:36] <wastrel> Scunizi:  that finds all files that end in "jpg" (case insensitive) in the current directory and all subdirectories
[04:36] <eXcaliBuR> gotta get me a VPN server running now
[04:36] <orehon> Pelo: yes i know. but i dont know where! lol.. could you help me to find it?
[04:36] <wastrel> Scunizi:  and then rm's them
[04:36] <toferrado> Pelo, there are some examples on ubuntu?
[04:36] <eXcaliBuR> so i can remote in
[04:36] <wastrel> Scunizi:  i should test with whitespace
[04:36] <Pelo> toferrado,   I don'T know I thought you had one you wanted to use
[04:36] <Scunizi> wastrel: why wouldn't rm -rf work?
[04:36] <Pelo> orehon,  give me a few minutes
[04:36] <wireless> or, specifically, how can I set my wireless up to be an access point?
[04:37] <wastrel> Scunizi:  only jpg's are deleted, other files are left alone
[04:37] <Scunizi> wastrel:  I mean... rm -rf *.jpg
[04:37] <orehon> Pelo ok... i am searching here also!
[04:37] <wastrel> Scunizi:  it works with whitespace
[04:37] <peepsalot> Scunizi, i think rm -rf basically means to match the given pattern, *then* recurse from whatever matches
[04:38] <Flannel> eXcaliBuR: why not ssh?
[04:38] <harry> If I put my hard drive in an external casing, can I boot from it on another computer?
[04:38] <harry> i.e. plugged in from a usb?
[04:38] <Scunizi> wastrel: so maybe rm -rf "*jpg"?
[04:38] <wireless> rm -rf matches first on the command line, then recurses after
[04:38] <wireless> spaces shouldn't matter
[04:38] <eXcaliBuR> $ mv boxes /var/www/includes
[04:38] <eXcaliBuR> mv: cannot move `boxes' to a subdirectory of itself, `/var/www/includes/boxes'
[04:38] <wastrel> case sensitive
[04:39] <eXcaliBuR> whats wrong
[04:39] <eXcaliBuR> i want to replace my boxes folder
[04:39] <Scunizi> wastrel:  ok... one more thing I learned today..
[04:39] <eXcaliBuR> blah i'll just delete the old one first
[04:39] <eXcaliBuR> wit my new rm -r command
[04:39] <wireless> eXistenZ: type pwd
[04:39] <preaction> rm -rf *.jpg will recurse into directories that match *.jpg. the * is expanded by bash
[04:40] <peepsalot> wastrel, i understand everything in your original command, except what is the "/;" at the end for?
[04:40] <preaction> you probably want: find -name *.jpg -delete
[04:40] <wastrel> peepsalot:  that terminates the argument list for the -execdir flag
[04:40] <wireless> prg3: should that be find -name "*.jpg" -delete   ?
[04:40] <wastrel> -delete eh
[04:40] <Scunizi> preaction:  looks good to me... there's more than one way to skin an Ubuntu
[04:41] <tbuss> I keep getting an warning whenever I update, upgrade or install new software: dpkg: serious warning: files list file for package `proftpd' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed.
[04:41] <orehon> Pelo: Did you find anything?
[04:41] <wastrel> that's easier isn't it
[04:41] <Pelo> orehon,  not yet
[04:41] <peepsalot> ah, good one preaction, another useful paramter to remember.   oh, and I would use -iname ;-)
[04:41] <preaction> wireless: try it first without the -delete part?
[04:41] <orehon> Pelo: kk
[04:42] <wireless> any wireless gurus in the house?
[04:42] <catid> is SLI supported in linux?

[04:43] <gaspipe1> jsut curios....has anyone used linux mce?
[04:44] <hijjt> gaspipe1, for media center usage? like myth?
[04:44] <gaspipe1> hijjt: it has myth's pvr... but also much much more...
[04:44] <tbuss> does anyone know of a program I can use similar to eclipse but not for java?
[04:44] <stormy|> when I'm upgrading from 6.06LTS to Edgy, I get a bunch of errors like this: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper/Release.gpg Temporary failure resolving 'us.archive.ubuntu.com'
[04:44] <orehon> Pelo: thank you
[04:44] <gaspipe1> hijjt: it looks wild
[04:44] <orehon> Pelo: and about the files?
[04:44] <Pelo> orehon,  it worked ?
[04:45] <craigbass1976> tbuss, what does eclipse do?
[04:45] <Pelo> orehon,  just move them to /home/user
[04:45] <hijjt> gaspipe1, well then nope, I have only used gentoo and ubuntu/kubuntu
[04:45] <gaspipe1> hijjt: http://linuxmce.com/
[04:45] <Scunizi> anyone use gmediaserver to serve to an xbox 360?
[04:45] <eXcaliBuR> heres a good question, how can i change my hostname... instead of it being like excalibur@xtreme  ->> I want excalibur@xtreme.org
[04:45] <dealc_> kofler: Are you still here
[04:45] <eXcaliBuR> can i do that?
[04:45] <mon^rch> sudo hostname...
[04:45] <tbuss> craigbass1976: basically a program for building programs, mostly in java but I assume cpp is used as well
[04:45] <orehon> Pelo: yes it is working i think i need to restart my gnome =)
[04:45] <craigbass1976> eXcaliBuR, I don't know, but be careful.  I edited a text file that I thought would change my hostname and screwed things up.
[04:46] <drew> is there a ubuntu social channel?
[04:46] <gaspipe1> hijjt: it has cable, pvr, controls security cam's, phone, hook it up to cell and have images sent there
[04:46] <hijjt> gaspipe1, that is hot
[04:46] <craigbass1976> tbuss, ok, No idea then.

[04:46] <stormy|> It sounds like I need a GPG key for upgrading to edgy?
[04:46] <tbuss> craigbass1976: k thanks,
[04:46] <Flannel> craigbass1976, eXcaliBuR, there are TWO files you need to change, to change your hostname
[04:46] <gaspipe1> hijjt: check out the video....it's sick
[04:46] <Flannel> !hostname | eXcaliBuR
[04:46] <ubotu> eXcaliBuR: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname  and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab
[04:46] <gaspipe1> hijjt: also they are making it so it's easy to install w/ ubuntu
[04:47] <hijjt> gaspipe1, looks awesome
[04:47] <tbuss> what is a good linux alternative to visual basic,
[04:47] <craigbass1976> Flannel, that must have been what I missed
[04:47] <gaspipe1> hijjt: u watching the video?
[04:47] <hijjt> gaspipe1, hah
[04:47] <gaspipe1> hijjt: sick huh
[04:48] <gaspipe1> hijjt: i would love to hook up a syste with a server in basement with lover end mce boxes throughout house
[04:48] <sarixe> hi, i seem to be having some issues with samba.  I installed samba when i first installed ubuntu 6.10, and it's been working fine for months, works well with gnome, works with kaffeine, everything.  but today, it just suddenly stopped working.  smbd is running twice under root.  any help?
[04:48] <hijjt> gaspipe1, that is nuts
[04:49] <gaspipe1> hijjt: and the gyro remote is unreal
[04:49] <hijjt> gaspipe1, i love the cell phone remote
[04:49] <gaspipe1> hijjt: it works with newer symbia (nokia) phones
[04:50] <gaspipe1> hijjt: also has software to make a pbx phone system
[04:50] <hijjt> gaspipe1, I have a streamzap remote, and my pocket pc with a myth remote on it
[04:50] <hijjt> gaspipe1, I don't have a star wired home though...
[04:50] <hijjt> gaspipe1, that is a project
[04:51] <cyris> how can i tell what packages i have installed with apt-get ?
[04:51] <gaspipe1> hijjt: so you are able to watch "tv" on u'r pocketpc.....cool
[04:51] <Pelo> cyris, open up synaptic and hit the status button
[04:51] <gaspipe1> hijjt: do u have a cable-box connected to the myth?
[04:52] <dealc_> I am having troubles with my samba shares
[04:52] <hijjt> gaspipe1, no... well maybe with videolan, I just use it as a remote for myth
[04:52] <hijjt> gaspipe1, nope, I have analog cable
[04:52] <gaspipe1> anyone else familiar with linux MCE?
[04:52] <stormy|> Hmm... Aparently my problem is with GPG keys... are the updates you do before upgrading completely necessary? (as in, from 6.06LTS to Edgy?)
[04:52] <gaspipe1> hijjt: so u'r pocket pc is the remote for myth
[04:52] <gaspipe1> hij
[04:52] <gaspipe1> crap
[04:52] <dealc_> Does anyone know anything about samba?
[04:53] <joincamp> cyris: use man pages to easily find answers to questions like that     ie: man apt-get
[04:53] <gaspipe1> hijjt: thats cool
[04:53] <cafuego_> dealc_: Of course.
[04:53] <Pelo> dealc,  try the forum or try this channel at differrent times,   different members have diffrenet skills
[04:53] <hijjt> gaspipe1, it works pretty well, but not as complicated as my streamzap lirc setup
[04:53] <hijjt> gaspipe1, that gryo mouse remote is sweet too
[04:54] <Hasrat_USA> gaspipe1 Yes but let me elaborate. so far the only things that i have done regarding MCE is 1) watched a video demonstration in which the author shows the difference between Windows and Linux MCE and the latter's various features as well as superiority over the former and 2) found out that the latter (Linux MCE) is now stable and ready for people to download
[04:54] <gaspipe1> hijjt: whats that? (btw I sent a pm...did u see it?))
[04:54] <eXcaliBuR> how to find out what permissions are set on a folder?
[04:54] <eXcaliBuR> command line command pls
[04:54] <eXcaliBuR> :}
[04:54] <Flannel> eXcaliBuR: ls -l
[04:54] <wastrel> joincamp:  where exactly in the apt-get man page is that question answered?
[04:54] <Pelo> eXcaliBuR,  http://www.linuxcommand.org/index.php
[04:54] <ablyss> ls -l
[04:54] <joincamp> wastrel: heh, im looking
[04:54] <gaspipe1> Hasrat_USA: looks awesome
[04:55] <wastrel> joincamp:  it's not there, you can't get a list of installed packages with the apt-get command (to the best of my knowledge)
[04:55] <hijjt> gaspipe1, it was a usb ir remote I picked up a while back, I have it control the lights and everything too
[04:55] <gaspipe1> Hasrat_USA: i'm in the middle of looking into a house...and I would love to set a system up
[04:55] <wastrel> joincamp:  dpkg -l  will do it
[04:55] <Hasrat_USA> gaspipe you can do almost anything that you can imagine using linux MCE. starting from playing media, TV etc out of the box to controlling your home's lights, fans, ACs, refrigerators etc all can be controlled
[04:55] <gaspipe1> hijjt: man...so your ahead of the tape.... you have to look into it
[04:55] <Flannel> cyris: dpkg -l
[04:56] <Pelo> later folks
[04:56] <hijjt> gaspipe, that looks like it simplifies things
[04:56] <joincamp> wastrel: i didnt know the answer exactly, but i was trying to "teach a man to fish" hehe
[04:56] <gaspipe1> Hasrat_USA: you gonna set up a system?
[04:56] <michaelsmick> I need some grub help, I can't boot to windows.
[04:56] <elb> sounds like grub already helped you
[04:56] <bpasha1> I NEED SOME HELP .. Trying to install 64 bit 6.10 Edgy Eft server on AMD 64 Athlon X2 computer ..
[04:56] <rickjones> lol @ elb
[04:56] <gaspipe1> hijjt: thats what they say.... Hasrat_USA saw it too
[04:56] <joincamp> wastrel: and it lists dpkg under the see also commands
[04:56] <bpasha1> it does not work..
[04:56] <michaelsmick> yes, but handling a client need, I have to open a publisher file in windows.
[04:57] <hijjt> gaspipe1, the thing i haven't done is hooked it up to a real tv yet, I just use a 19in wide lcd with the widescreen myth layout
[04:57] <gaspipe1> bpasha1: just my 2 cents.... don't install 64 b/c it's not supported
[04:57] <michaelsmick> I managed to get windows to show up in the grub list, but I get an error clicking on it:
[04:57] <bruenig> gaspipe1, 64 bit is supported
[04:57] <bpasha1> ok ..
[04:57] <JucaBlues> I'm in trouble to get my DVD drive working on ubuntu
[04:57] <stormy|> bpasha1: , I happen to be doing the same thing... but i'm having problems as well
[04:57] <bpasha1> But Ubuntu lists 64 bit as supported ..
[04:57] <bruenig> !english | JucaBlues
[04:57] <ubotu> JucaBlues: The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are english only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat
[04:58] <michaelsmick> starting up... Error 8  Kernel must be loaded before booting.  press any key to continue
[04:58] <gaspipe1> bruenig: oww... lol I have 64 bnit on 6.10 and was going to do a cold reinstall for fawn
[04:58] <bruenig> bpasha1, it is supported
[04:58] <feistyman> Can someone help me with an internet question. Mine doesn't log on automatically. I have to manually click it on every time I boot up ubuntu.
[04:58] <Hasrat_USA> gaspipe no because 1) i don't have a TV 2) I don't need a TV 3) i don't like TV and channels that spread nothing but government controlled propaganda 4) i live in a very small room lol and don't have enough space to afford to place a TV even if i have the money. however, I would still download MCE only to hack into it and see what it's all about. perhaps someday the knowledge would help set up MCE somewhere else in someone's house
[04:58] <Hasrat_USA> and also to get paid for installing it :)
[04:58] <bruenig> gaspipe1, yeah for desktop, it is kind of pointless, but for server, it would make sense
[04:58] <gaspipe1> bpasha1: srry... I saw that some programs aren't good for 64 bit...like wine
[04:58] <warholm> hei i have problem with installing win xp after a ubuntu install
[04:58] <bpasha1> yep ..I'm trying install server
[04:59] <the-erm> Does anyone know where a list of "out of the box" usb wireless cards is?
[04:59] <bruenig> !grub | warholm is that problem grub?
[04:59] <ubotu> warholm is that problem grub?: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[04:59] <stormy|> I am having GPG key errors when I'm upgrading..... I cannot figure out how to fix it
[04:59] <gaspipe1> bpasha1: srry... i'm new and jsut didn't want you to do what I did.... now I will change it to 34 bit
[04:59] <stormy|> 34? ;)
[04:59] <dac_> aol email.com freezesup after10 minutes
[04:59] <stormy|> lol....
[04:59] <bruenig> stormy|, perhaps you ought to change your mirrors, it says that it is having problems resolving us
[04:59] <bpasha1> :)
[05:00] <Hasrat_USA> stormy? damn
[05:00] <gaspipe1> Hasrat_USA: nice
[05:00] <stormy|> bruenig:  where is a list of mirrors or the way to change that?
[05:00] <Hasrat_USA> that's my favourite fornstar :P
[05:00] <gaspipe1> Hasrat_USA: u in the NE?
[05:00] <Hasrat_USA> NE?

[05:00] <Hasrat_USA> what's NE?
[05:00] <gaspipe1> Hasrat_USA: moving to NJ soon... could use help on installation
[05:00] <stormy|> hey Hasrat_USA, so are you into mythTV?
[05:00] <bronze_0_1> North East or NEw England
[05:00] <warholm> i dont think its a grub problem because its intalling windows i have problem with
[05:00] <Hasrat_USA> oh i'm in NYC :P
[05:01] <JucaBlues> what should I do to have gcc-4521b dvd drive working on ubuntu?
[05:01] <gaspipe1> Hasrat_USA: nice mr too...  B'klyn
[05:01] <caleb_> what package contains linux/config.h?
[05:01] <gaspipe1> hijjt: dude u have to give it a run
[05:01] <bpasha1> ok gaspipe1 ..I know why Grub got screwed up .. it is known issue with .. all windows installation (MS dont support linux) ..

[05:02] <Hasrat_USA> and i'm sick of getting paid for installing XP on old crappy IBM laptops
[05:02] <bpasha1> stormy .. is there a way I can install 64bit on my Box ..
[05:02] <Hasrat_USA> stormy not really
[05:02] <hijjt> gaspipe1, when i get my hdtv card... when i decide which one i want
[05:02] <bruenig> stormy|, make sure you sudo apt-get update after that
[05:03] <Hasrat_USA> bpasha you just don't wanna do that please
[05:03] <gaspipe1> hijjt: lokos like a cool project.... just wish they had some list to what to get and such
[05:03] <bruenig> Hasrat_USA, it is a server he says
[05:03] <bpasha1> Yep ..I want to run server on it ..
[05:03] <ardchoille> !info liferea feisty
[05:03] <hijjt> gaspipe1, I use a pvr 350 and a pvr 500
[05:03] <michaelsmick> how can I verify the drive of windows so I get grub right? hd0,0 or something else?
[05:03] <ubotu> liferea: feed aggregator for GNOME. In component main, is optional. Version 1.2.10b-0ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 623 kB, installed size 2304 kB
[05:04] <stormy|> bruenig:  E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[05:04] <gaspipe1> hijjt: i'm on #linuxmce nobody talks
[05:04] <hijjt> gaspipe1, i wouldn't recommend much else for tv performance
[05:04] <eXcaliBuR> think i messed up
[05:04] <bruenig> stormy|, close synaptic or whatever else you have open, update-manager perhaps
[05:04] <hijjt> gaspipe1, that is kinda funny
[05:04] <eXcaliBuR> now when i try to get in a dir it says permission denied
[05:04] <eXcaliBuR> drwxrwxrw-  8 root root  4096 2007-04-02 22:24 www
[05:04] <gaspipe1> hijjt: what are they pvr 350 and 500
[05:04] <stormy|> bpasha1: : Maybe, what is your problem? I currently have 6.06LTS
[05:04] <hijjt> gaspipe1, hauppauge tv cards
[05:05] <gaspipe1> hijjt: ahhh ok
[05:05] <bruenig> eXcaliBuR, well it needs to be executable to cd into it, it appears that the "others" doesn't have it executable
[05:05] <nickv111> Hey guys. Whenever I use mplayer, xmms, or amaroK to play media, it's as if the media is perpetually paused. I can advance through it, and in mplayer, even see the frames, but I can never get it to actually move and see the video or hear the sound
[05:05] <Squeee> eXcaliBuR, the www directory should be owned by www-data "chown www-data:www-data /locate/of/www"
[05:05] <nickv111> And I never hear sounds.
[05:05] <dac_> my page freezes up after 10 mins.
[05:05] <hijjt> gaspipe1, work with ivtv driver in linux
[05:05] <bpasha1> I want to install 64 bit 6.10 server on AMd 64 athlon X2 box ..
[05:05] <gaspipe1> hijjt: do they allow cable in?
[05:05] <nickv111> Even though it used to work.
[05:05] <hijjt> gaspipe1, yeah
[05:05] <warholm> what prog do i use to burn iso files?
[05:05] <bpasha1> it starts . saying uncompressing linux .. and then freezes ..
[05:05] <Squeee> warholm: I use gnomebaker, k3b if you are in kde
[05:05] <bruenig> warholm, cd or dvd?
[05:05] <stormy|> bpasha1: :  Well, do you have the CD burned? ;)... or you could do a netinst?
[05:05] <stormy|> Oh....
[05:05] <warholm> cd
[05:05] <Squeee> bpasha1: do you know how to boot with apic?
[05:05] <stormy|> It sounds like the problem I was having a long time ago bpasha1
[05:05] <Hasrat_USA> warholm nero? :P
[05:05] <stormy|> I coudln't ever get it to install :x ...
[05:05] <bruenig> warholm, cdrecord is good
[05:06] <warholm> tnx
[05:06] <nickv111> Even ogg123 practically freezes
[05:06] <stormy|> however.... the other guys in here problably know more about it than I do ;)
[05:06] <stormy|> probably*
[05:06] <gaspipe1> hijjt: kinda wierd... lets say I have 4 rooms that I want digital cable in... and wish to make 1 core (thats what they call it) with a TG of storage
[05:06] <Hasrat_USA> nerolinux 3 is gonna get released soon
[05:06] <bpasha1> the last message  53.739729 parport0 pc-styleat .. IRQ7 and freezes ..
[05:06] <gaspipe1> hijjt: puting a hdtv card out on the server (in basement) would be a waste? correct?
[05:06] <stormy|> bruenig:  I'm still getting those GPG errors
[05:07] <hijjt> gaspipe1, you would only get 1 tuner that way
[05:07] <eXcaliBuR> Squeee: i changed the owner of www but it's still not letting me inm
[05:07] <bruenig> stormy|, well at least that is one thing down
[05:07] <hijjt> gaspipe1, you would want a lot of tuners
[05:07] <bruenig> eXcaliBuR, it needs to be executable
[05:07] <mon^rch> ahem, to whoever put up the words Linux MCE... thanks!!!!!! that is VERY sweet
[05:07] <eXcaliBuR> what number do i want bruenig
[05:07] <Squeee> eXcaliBuR, I just want to make sure, is this www folder for a server?
[05:07] <eXcaliBuR> 776 ?
[05:07] <eXcaliBuR> yup
[05:07] <hijjt> gaspipe1, so that you could record/watch separate channels in every room
[05:08] <gaspipe1> hijjt: so how would you conf. a system like that... lets say 1 server (not connected to tv) then 2 hdtv tv's (diffrent rooms) and 2 or 3 norm tv's (diffrent rooms?))
[05:08] <nomasteryoda> mon^rch, the video makes it look so simple...
[05:08] <bruenig> eXcaliBuR, well who are you, if you are not the user or the group you will need the last digit to be 7 assuming you want to add executable to it
[05:08] <mon^rch> nomasteryoda: no s**t, he?
[05:08] <Squeee> gaspipe1, I have 2 tuners in my room that my whole house shares, check out mythtv
[05:08] <mon^rch> *eh
[05:08] <nomasteryoda> lol
[05:08] <hijjt> gaspipe1, you need to have the mythserver part on all of them, and set the one with all the storage to master
[05:09] <hijjt> gaspipe1, and get a gigabit network
[05:09] <Squeee> gaspipe1, you can have multiple frontends connect to a backend and pull everything from the mythbackend
[05:09] <gaspipe1> Squeee: 2turners for whole hose?... can 3 tv's be on diffrent live channels?
[05:09] <AmyRose> OK, you might want to stay off of #ubuntu-offtopic for now...
[05:09] <stormy|> bruenig:  any idea on what I should do next?
[05:09] <bruenig> stormy|, no
[05:09] <stormy|> brueing: what if I changed the mirrors..? if they're having problems resolving...
[05:10] <bruenig> stormy|, it clearly is not the mirrors, you have some other problem
[05:10] <Squeee> gaspipe1, Nope, but most of us watch the same shows so it records most everything and we mostly watch that.  Tuners - total number of shows recording at a time = to number of live streams possible
[05:10] <gaspipe1> hijjt: so each tv would still have a cable box under them? or would that be in basement connected to server?
[05:10] <drcode> hi all
[05:10] <eXcaliBuR> Y@Y my website is working and i have pictures again
[05:10] <Squeee> gaspipe1, they would need some kind of connection to a computer (mythfrontend)
[05:10] <drcode> I have qustion about nvidia driver
[05:10] <nomasteryoda> gaspipe1, no the tuners can tune most any normal cable channel
[05:10] <Squeee> drcode, so ask it
[05:10] <hijjt> gaspipe1, as long as you have inputs for the cableboxes you can plug them all into one pc
[05:10] <nomasteryoda> obviously not hbo, etc...
[05:10] <drcode> I have install nvidia driver in ubuntu 6.10 , it seems that it change the kernel also
[05:11] <drcode> from kernel - generic into kernel
[05:11] <hijjt> gaspipe1, make sure you get hardware encoding cards though, you will end up with a lot of bandwidth problems if you have soft cards
[05:11] <gaspipe1> Squeee: i thought that if the server and lets say 4 cableboxes in basement....then just have a "front end myth box" to each tv and you are golden
[05:11] <Squeee> drcode,  did you install it with apt-get? or manually, because that will cause problems
[05:11] <nomasteryoda> Hauppauge PVR 150's are such cards
[05:11] <hijjt> gaspipe1, if you have all cable boxes in the basement with the server, everything else is a frontend
[05:11] <drcode> manauly
[05:11] <drcode> and it did the same
[05:11] <joe4444> how can i create an alias for a long one-liner that uses both single-quotes and double-quotes?
[05:11] <hijjt> nomasteryoda, I would go with pvr 500s though
[05:12] <stormy|> So, here's my errors when I run 'sudo apt-get update'  : http://rafb.net/p/16catj27.html
[05:12] <drcode> then I download the driver from nvidia
[05:12] <gaspipe1> hijjt: right..... lot of stuff
[05:12] <hijjt> nomasteryoda, 2 cards in 1
[05:12] <nomasteryoda> too spendy for my budget
[05:12] <Squeee> nomasteryoda, no on the pvr500
[05:12] <gaspipe1> hijjt: what do u think a system like that would go for?
[05:12] <drcode> but now when I try to compile the rt61 driver , it say no make command
[05:12] <Squeee> nomasteryoda, I have one and it is too expensive
[05:12] <Squeee> nomasteryoda, bad quality for hte price
[05:12] <gaspipe1> hijjt: lets start w/server
[05:12] <eXcaliBuR> Squeee can i pm you?
[05:12] <drcode> the nvidia work on the kerenl (not generic)
[05:13] <warholm> just failed to install linux mce on ubuntu 6.10 had a lot of errors, any1 got a solution?
[05:13] <gaspipe1> hijjt: 1 server with 4 tuners... and 1 tg storage
[05:13] <Squeee> Explosif, not likely, I am not logged into freenode correctly
[05:14] <hijjt> Squeee, but what other card would you use for the job?
[05:14] <drcode> Squeee,  any idea?
[05:14] <Squeee> gaspipe1, most tuner cards are tv tuners, so unless you have digital cable it should work just fine doing that
[05:14] <hijjt> gaspipe1start witht the storage
[05:14] <gaspipe1> gaspipe1
[05:14] <Squeee> drcode, Installing manually can cause problems
[05:14] <drcode> k
[05:14] <drcode> I can remove it?
[05:14] <drcode> but it change the kernel also on nvidia driver
[05:15] <gaspipe1> Squeee: i would be using digital such as dish or direct tv
[05:15] <dfgas> how do i get a driver not to load on boot?
[05:15] <warholm> i have problems detecting the HHD with the windows CD after a ubuntu 6.10 installation
[05:15] <Squeee> drcode, find your installer and type "sh NVIDIAINSTALLERNAME --A" and look for the remove command
[05:15] <gaspipe1> hijjt: would you have the TG on the server or on a sep. box like?
[05:15] <dealc_> cafuego: Everything says I can write to my samba share but on every machine it does not allow me.
[05:16] <Squeee> drcode, then reinsall it through apt
[05:16] <Nik> ...and I'll start with a simple question: Anyone know why the Dictionary widget thing isn't allowing me to enter anything into it, or put a cursor in it
[05:16] <kupesoft> What's the best way to install feisty alongside edgy. I don't want to reinstall grub (in case I want to scrap the feisty partition)...
[05:16] <hijjt> gaspipe1, TG?
[05:16] <kupesoft> Can I do this?
[05:16] <Squeee> gaspipe1, You can separate everything with mythtv but there isn't really a reason, get one box, make it a beast, and you will be set
[05:16] <drcode> Squeee, I want to use the other kernel with nvida that work , but why I can't use make command to compile rt61 driver?
[05:17] <gaspipe1> Squeee: thats what I would want to do... like a server?
[05:17] <dealc_> Does anyone know anything about samba?
[05:17] <Squeee> kupesoft, I'd reccommend if you are just testing it, do it through vmware or qemu
[05:17] <gaspipe1> hijjt: 1000 GB
[05:17] <kupesoft> Squeee: I'm not just testing, I want to use it.
[05:17] <kupesoft> Squeee: But, I want to install it without grub,
[05:17] <hijjt> gaspipe1, I would put it on the server
[05:17] <Squeee> gaspipe1, yes, known as mythbakend.  You can do that
[05:18] <hijjt> gaspipe1, but you can build a NAS if you want
[05:18] <Squeee> kupesoft, just point grub to your other partition then
[05:18] <SuaSponte375> hello, ubuntu noob looking for help with no sound in dapper, using nforce2 mobo. tried several different web site tips but no luck.  any help?  thanks
[05:18] <hijjt> gaspipe1, it will slow your performance, and clog up your network which you are going to need badly for the myth frontends
[05:18] <kupesoft> Squeee: Ah,
[05:18] <jimmio> how do I show hidden files?
[05:19] <dealc_> Does anyone know anything about samba?
[05:19] <gaspipe1> hijjt: so i wouldn't wish to build a NAS (not like I know what it is...lol)
[05:19] <Nik> Just need help fixing a widget, it wont allow a cursor or any typing!
[05:19] <Flannel> jimmio: ctrl-H or, alt-H, or something.  Or there's a menu item for it
[05:19] <Squeee> jimmio, nautilus push ctrl + h, in terminal ls -a
[05:19] <dfgas> i don't want the r818x module to load on boot, how do i fix that?
[05:19] <Squeee> dealc, what do you want to know about it
[05:19] <jimmio> Flannel, ctrl+h did it, thanks
[05:19] <hijjt> gaspipe1, network attached storage, no, you would probably just find a good sata card and a couple of 500GB drives
[05:19] <Nik> dfgas: System-> admin--> Sessions-->Startup programs
[05:20] <gaspipe1> hijjt: right
[05:20] <vox754> !blacklist
[05:20] <ubotu> To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add  blacklist <modulename>  to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type  sudo update-initramfs -u 
[05:20] <Squeee> gaspipe1, go to newegg.com, they have 500GB hard drives for like 139.99
[05:20] <goban> do i use the same 3rd party repos for feisty i did for edgy?
[05:20] <gaspipe1> Squeee: what would u use for tuners?
[05:20] <dealc_> Does anyone know anything about samba?
[05:20] <billboforealdoe> !pastebin
[05:20] <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 (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[05:21] <SuaSponte375> can anyone help with a no sound in dapper

[05:22] <cafuego_> jerkface0: Nothing....
[05:22] <jerkface0> What do I have to do?
[05:22] <bimberi> jerkface0: sudo apt-get install ssh
[05:22] <cafuego_> jerkface0: 'sudo apt-get install openssh-server'
[05:22] <jerkface0> And that will let me do a remote login?
[05:22] <cafuego_> yup
[05:22] <clearzen> jerkface0: don't telnet, use ssh
[05:22] <kupesoft> jerkface0: jerkface0, ssh will let you do a remote log in
[05:22] <jerkface0> do I have to login locally before I can do a remote login?
[05:23] <Squeee> jerkface0, no
[05:23] <kupesoft> jerkface0: You need to log in locally to install ssh,
[05:23] <cafuego_> jerkface0: No, but you will need to do a lcoal login to install ssh.
[05:23] <dealc_> cafuego: Everything says I can write to my samba share but on every machine it does not allow me.
[05:23] <jerkface0> ok thats fine
[05:23] <jerkface0> and do I need to use sudo to isntall svn aswell?
[05:23] <gaspipe1> Squeee: now a hdtv hard... would that be placed on the front or back end for the 2 hdtv tv's?
[05:24] <warholm> do any1 now how to install a window xp after a ubuntu install???
[05:24] <cafuego_> dealc_: File permissions? Share not set writeable? Share set read-only? Write list exclusion?
[05:24] <jerkface0> Wait so which one is it? ssh or openssh-server?
[05:24] <gaspipe1> Squeee: i meant card not hard
[05:24] <cafuego_> either way
[05:24] <bimberi> jerkface0: either, the former depends on the latter
[05:24] <jerkface0> k, sec
[05:24] <jerkface0> installing..
[05:25] <Squeee> gaspipe1, if it is a gig network, you could do it on the backend most likely, but make sure the thing is powerfull... though usually these cards will handle the strain themselves.
[05:25] <michaelsmick> Yey, I got Grub to give me my windows back.  Oh I forgot, I hate windows.
[05:25] <Squeee> gaspipe1, At worst, you put the hdtv tuner in the frontend for the tvs, and run backends on them
[05:25] <SuaSponte375> would like some help with getting sound to work,  anyone?
[05:25] <kupesoft> So if I want to install feisty and not have it overwrite the MBR and reinstall grub, how can I do this?
[05:25] <Squeee> SuaSponte375, Be more specific
[05:26] <brussel> What time this month will Ubuntu 7 be released?
[05:26] <Squeee> kupesoft, vmware
[05:26] <dealc_> cafuego: I have checked over every part of my smb.conf and it says I should have full permishions.
[05:26] <kupesoft> Squeee: I don't want to Ubuntu with vmware, I've told you this.
[05:26] <cafuego_> brussel: 14:00 UTC on the 19th
[05:26] <LordLimecat> anyone here use wine+WoW+nvidia drivers?
[05:26] <kupesoft> *install
[05:26] <SuaSponte375> Squeee: I cannont get any program to provide sound.  no driver installed i think.
[05:26] <brussel> cafuego_: thanks
[05:26] <cafuego_> disclaimer: I just made that up
[05:26] <Squeee> kupesoft, Ok, when you install fiesty on another parition, it will point grub to it.  You can run Grub-install in your other partition and point it to the correct one
[05:26] <brussel> :(
[05:27] <gaspipe1> Squeee: i was thinking (but not sure if this is the proper way) have 2 frontends with hdtv card, then 2 frontends with norm. then have the backend with 4 norm cards...or is this a wasted way of using cards?)
[05:27] <jerkface0> ok, open ssh is installed. What ssh client do you guys recommend I use with windows xp to access my ubuntu machine?
[05:27] <cafuego_> Mainly because nobody knows.
[05:27] <cafuego_> jerkface0: putty
[05:27] <Squeee> gaspipe1, It is an excellent way of doing it
[05:27] <gaspipe1> Squeee: i wish to have 4 tv's
[05:27] <jerkface0> kk
[05:27] <SuaSponte375>  Squeee: here is the error I receive.  The Scorched3d process terminated due to configuration errors.
[05:27] <SuaSponte375> Scorched3D : Failed to open sound device
[05:27] <kupesoft> Squeee: what options would I use for grub-install?
[05:27] <brussel> Ahhh, I thought maybe there was a planned release
[05:27] <dealc_> cafuego: I have checked over every part of my smb.conf and it says I should have full permishions.
[05:27] <gaspipe1> Squeee: ok...
[05:28] <Squeee> gaspipe1, mythtv can distribute the load of transcoding video among different backends, so you could have each set up with nfs and have one of them be a little more powerful and have it be the backend server
[05:28] <clearzen> SuaSponte375: aplay -l will list your sound cards then you can check for a alsa supported driver for the card
[05:29] <Taxman> jerkface0: I was going to say putty, but someone was quicker
[05:29] <Squeee> gaspipe1, nfs would make it so that all the hard drives could act as one giant distributed drive
[05:29] <gaspipe1> Squeee: so should my back end be in the living room with the lcd hdtv?
[05:29] <SuaSponte375> Squeee: aplay -l
[05:29] <dealc_> cafuego: I have checked over every part of my smb.conf and it says I should have full permishions.
[05:29] <SuaSponte375> Squee:  no soundcards found
[05:29] <gaspipe1> Squeee: or in basement so noise is not a factor?
[05:29] <Taxman> so, I managed to bork a fat32 filesytem trying to install
[05:30] <Taxman> any good file recovery tools people can recommend?
[05:30] <jerkface0> Hey guys, my new ubuntu setup is not broadcasting the name I gave the machine. Does anyone know what I have to do? During the install process I set the name as "svnsrvr", but its just getting assigned an ip, not an actual hostname on my internal network.
[05:30] <gaspipe1> Squeee: brb... 5 min
[05:30] <jerkface0> 6.06-lts server
[05:30] <Squeee> gaspipe1, Quiet systems are not that hard to build, so i wouldn't worry about that, I would have the hdtv cards set up with frontend and backend instead of putting them on the master backend... otherwise there would be insane traffic on your network
[05:30] <SuaSponte375> Squeee: I downloaded an nforcew driver but could not get it to install.  noob and probably doing something wrong. whats next?
[05:31] <eexpress> hi, i want record the output of festival to a mp3 or ogg. how to .
[05:31] <dealc_> Is there a irc chatroom that specializes in samba?
[05:31] <crazy_penguin> Good morning! (it's 6.30 am here)
[05:31] <Squeee> SuaSponte375, Did your sound ever work?
[05:31] <SuaSponte375> Squeee: no sound card installed
[05:31] <Taxman> dealc_: #samba wasn't it? :)
[05:31] <hijjt> Squeee, that way there is still insane network traffic transferring the data to the fileserver
[05:31] <clearzen> SuaSponte375: Can you see your sound card with lspci -v ?SuaSponte375
[05:32] <dealc_> Taxman: thanks
[05:32] <Squeee> hijjt, Yes, but if he has a backend it can be transcoded to something smaller (say h.264) then sent back and it wouldn't be that bad
[05:32] <SuaSponte375> Squeee: yes it shows as nforce2 agp
[05:33] <hijjt> Squeee, yeah, everything hd would be impossible...
[05:33] <Squeee> SuaSponte375, When you first installed ubuntu, did your sound work?
[05:33] <Squeee> hijjt, what do you mean?
[05:33] <heath> could someone help me with a conky question?
[05:33] <SuaSponte375> I did not try it.  I loaded updates and a bunch of other software (games mostly) then tried to play a game and no sound with error
[05:33] <eexpress> hi, i want record the output of festival to a mp3 or ogg. how to. no one  interest on this?
[05:33] <Squeee> heath, dont ask to ask, jsut ask
[05:33] <dealc_> Anyone know how to get a samba share to work?
[05:34] <clearzen> SuaSponte375:  goto http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/ and search for the chipset of your soundcard. Then you can insert the module listed for your card
[05:34] <heath> I want to have conky show my download/upload in kB/sec
[05:34] <heath> but i am unsure how to do this
[05:34] <hijjt> Squeee, I was agreeing with converting everything smaller, with all hd tuners the network would just die
[05:34] <jerkface0> Does anyone know why Ubuntu server 6.06 isn't broadcasting the machine name I set?
[05:34] <tbuss> can someone help with a vsftpd.conf setup?
[05:34] <Nik> Anyone want to help a quick fix dictionary widget? It wont allow me to type and there is no cursor
[05:34] <dealc_> Anyone know how to get a samba share to work?
[05:34] <Squeee> hijjt, oh heh ok nm
[05:35] <Squeee> dealc, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#Samba_Server
[05:35] <tbuss> dealc_: try this http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy
[05:36] <tbuss> dealc_: good section on networking and sharing files
[05:36] <vexati0n> is there a good reason that Xorg has such a difficult time with 2+ monitors :/
[05:36] <tbuss> anyone running here running an ftp server?
[05:36] <Taxman> vexati0n: yes, the code hasn't been perfected yet. :)
[05:36] <kungfugoat> vexati0n: Xorg has always been difficult
[05:38] <DraconPern> I need help with my wireless card...
[05:38] <glick> is anyone still running dapper?
[05:38] <glick> on home machine?
[05:38] <glick> i think i may finally upgrade when feisty comes out
[05:38] <glick> i skipped edgy
[05:38] <tbuss> is it necessary to jail users that are not anon, but connect through username and password on ftp
[05:39] <heath> anyone know of a package that deals with web colors? ie #efefef
[05:39] <SuaSponte375> Squeee:  I have a soundstorm audio chip built into mobo.  following site gives steps but I get stuck halfway.  noob and do not understand commands. help?  http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Nvidia_nForce_SoundStorm
[05:39] <DraconPern> is it possible to tell if a driver is loaded for my wireless card in device manager?
[05:39] <Cin> if I knew prison was involved I would've stuck with Debian
[05:39] <tbuss> heath: are you looking for the hex equivalent for colors
[05:39] <Taxman> DraconPern: should be, but dmesg works well too
[05:39] <heath> well the rgb vals yeah
[05:40] <dealc_> tbuss: I read it and it did not help me with finding the bug in the program.
[05:40] <SuaSponte375> Squeee:  still there? would like further help if you can provide
[05:40] <dnl> On the livecd, is there any way to recover the "/cow" partition that is used to create the UnionFS?  (It is not remounted under the real root)
[05:40] <tbuss> dealc_ didnt mention a bug, I though you needed help setting it up
[05:40] <acefrahm> Need help, Edgy Eft Apache2 server behind a Westell 6100 doesn't serve webpages to the internet, but it serves them on the LAN.  Firewall in Westell 6100 is off.  Port forwarding on 80.  Internet side ping and traceroute tools die 1 step before my IP.
[05:40] <Squeee> SuaSponte375, Sorry my internet is freaking out
[05:41] <acefrahm> ping doesn't work at all that is
[05:41] <Cin> libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x5b
[05:41] <SuaSponte375> Squeee: yeah just saw a bunch of people log out and back in  are you still there
[05:41] <Cin> what does that mean?
[05:41] <Cin> SuaSponte375, that was a net split
[05:41] <Sunshine> Might someone help me get my Sansa m230 to show it's contents? My com recognizes the devise exists but no media content...
[05:41] <DraconPern> Hum... ok, so I see the driver is loaded... however the system thinks it's a wired card, so I can't enter SSID info.
[05:42] <eexpress> hi, i want record the output of festival to a mp3 or ogg. how to. no one  interest on this?
[05:42] <SuaSponte375> Cin: net split -- ?
[05:42] <ant-> SuaSponte375 : google it
[05:42] <jerkface> Can someone tell me how to change my ubuntu machine's hostname?
[05:42] <clearzen> It is when irc servers split
[05:42] <Pollywog> it's when servers on the IRC network disconnect from each other
[05:42] <Squeee> freenode exploded
[05:43] <dealc_> tbuss: All of my configuration files say I can write to the SMB share, I connected on a windows and a mac but was unable to write to it.
[05:43] <jerkface> Anyone? hostname?
[05:43] <clearzen> dealc_: sudo aptitude install ntfs-3g
[05:43] <Pollywog> jerkface: sudo hostname newname
[05:43] <Taxman> eexpress: just opening a sound recording tool doesn't work?
[05:43] <tbuss> dealc_ are the filesytems the same across all machines
[05:43] <Pollywog> but you will have to manually change it in /etc/hosts
[05:44] <Cin> does anybody have an i915 graphics card that works properly on Ubuntu?
[05:44] <Pollywog> and in your desktop environment as well
[05:44] <SuaSponte375> Squeee: still willing to help with the sound issue?
[05:44] <ant-> jerkface : /etc/hostname
[05:44] <DraconPern> how about System->administratiion ->'Network Setting
[05:44] <Squeee> SuaSponte375, Sorry i dont really have the time right now.  I'd reccommend just testing a livecd and see if it is working in there
[05:44] <ant-> Cin : i do
[05:44] <gaspipe1> Squeee: regarding have'n hdtv cards on both front and back end (2 hdtv would require 4 hdtv cards?)
[05:45] <ant-> Cin : what is your problem?
[05:45] <dealc_> tbuss: I know but I have had problems with my windows so I used my mac but with the same result, A write-protected share on 6.10
[05:45] <Pollywog> jerkface you can also manually edit /etc/hostname rather than use the hostname command
[05:45] <eexpress> Taxman: so which pragam can i launch?
[05:45] <SuaSponte375> Squeee: ok.  I will try it
[05:45] <eexpress> CLI
[05:45] <Cin> ant-, are you using the i915 driver or the i810 driver? I am using the i810 driver and it -works-, but it is very slow and I have this error: libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x5b
[05:45] <Taxman> eexpress: try installing audacity if there's nothing in by default
[05:45] <Taxman> CLI, I have no idea
[05:46] <ant-> Cin : the i810 driver is for the i915
[05:46] <datakid23> Hola All, I've just started using evolution to view my IMAP mail, and while I'm getting positives from my send/receive and if I search for my mail it's there, I am not getting any mail into my inbox? please hellp
[05:46] <eexpress> Taxman: ok, i search this first. thanks
[05:46] <jerkface> How can I access the filesystem on my ubuntu machine with my windows xp machine?
[05:46] <ant-> Cin : and mine works fine
[05:46] <Cin> ant-, yeah, a lot of people tell me that. doesn't work properly, though
[05:46] <Squeee> gaspipe1, No.  Having a card on the frontend is enough, it can record things and put them on the backend.  You dont need an extra card on the backend
[05:46] <datakid23> I'm using edgy
[05:46] <ant-> Cin : are you positive you have a i915
[05:46] <Squeee> ganadist, you want 2 hdtv video streams, you need 2 carfds
[05:46] <Pollywog> I think my machine uses i810 but I installed a separate video card
[05:46] <ant-> Cin : the only problem i had was getting the resolution to 1400
[05:47] <Cin> ant-, yes. what's the command to tell me what card I have so I can show you?
[05:47] <DraconPern> ?
[05:47] <ant-> Cin : ubuntu should autodetect the i915, what version you using?
[05:47] <Cin> ant-, Edgy
[05:47] <ant-> hmm
[05:47] <DraconPern> Does ubuntu have an 'remote assistance' feature?
[05:47] <kungfugoat> I spent two hours setting up my ubuntu server as a domain controller, only to find out windows media center 2005 can't become a member of a domain
[05:47] <kungfugoat> ...very easily
[05:48] <tbuss> is it necessary to jail users in a ftp configuration if anon is disabled and the users connect with password and username
[05:48] <Cin> ant-, what's the command that displays the card version?
[05:48] <crdlb> DraconPern, it has a builtin VNC server called vino-server
[05:48] <ant-> Cin : if its pci lspci
[05:48] <tweek> is there any particular reason why nautilus needs 80% cpu usage to copy files from a remote share?
[05:49] <Cin> ant-, 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/PM/GMS/910GML Express Processor to DRAM Controller (rev 03)
[05:49] <varsendagger> how do i paste bin pictures?
[05:49] <Cin> ant-, if the i810 driver is for the i915, why is there an i915 driver?
[05:49] <tbuss> anyone here successfully setup a vsftpd server
[05:49] <dougsko> varsendagger: you dont. just upload them to somewhere where people can see 'em and give the link
[05:49] <ant-> Cin : i've never seen that
[05:49] <varsendagger> ahh
[05:50] <Cin> ant-, there is one here: http://dri.freedesktop.org/snapshots/
[05:50] <crdlb> varsendagger, imageshack.us is a good choice
[05:51] <datakid23> don't worry - fixed it
[05:51] <Cin> I never seem to find anybody who's experienced this problem. it's always "it works for me", not "I recognise your problem" :((((
[05:51] <shawnr> Is there an email client out there like evolution or outlook that also supports rss feeds?
[05:51] <Pollywog> Cin: yeah that happens a lot
[05:52] <varsendagger_> dougsko, thanks
[05:52] <Pollywog> something will seem to work for everyone else  ;)
[05:52] <tbuss> whats the difference between proftpd and vsftpd?
[05:52] <Taxman> Cin: forums might be better for that type of thing. Allows people more time to see it
[05:53] <Cin> Pollywog, hehe. it's difficult describing how slow graphics is, because you -know- it is slower than it should be, but you can't show someone else, although if you could show them in person they'd say "ahh"
[05:53] <ant-> Cin : thats unfortunate, although that i915 driver is interesting
[05:53] <ant-> Cin : did you do something, or was it acting like this out of the box
[05:53] <ant-> Cin : or did you try to upgrade or load the i915 driver
[05:53] <Cin> ant-, this is a fresh install
[05:53] <Pollywog> Cin are you using the nv driver in your xorg.conf?
[05:53] <Cin> ant-, I haven't tried yet
[05:54] <Cin> Pollywog, it's using i810
[05:54] <ant-> Cin : does your desktop not load?
[05:54] <Taxman> Anyone know good free FAT32 recovery tools?
[05:54] <tweek> does anyone else copy large files over the network? does gnome-vfs-daemon/nautilus suck every bit of free cpu it can?
[05:54] <MLimburg> i'm looking to run the neverwinter nights toolset in linux .. it's windows only and is very unstable using wine .. so am looking at virtualisation .. xen, kvm, etc .. any advice here?
[05:54] <Cin> ant-, yeah, it loads. I'm on it right now on XChat
[05:54] <Pollywog> the nv driver worked with my i810 I just could not play games
[05:54] <tbuss> can anyone help me with my ft server config file
[05:54] <Pollywog> so I installed a new video card
[05:54] <ant-> Cin : when/where does the error show up?
[05:55] <tbuss> going once
[05:55] <Cin> ant-: chris@chrislaptop:~$ glxinfo|grep direct
[05:55] <Cin> libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x5b
[05:55] <Cin> direct rendering: Yes
[05:55] <tbuss> going twice
[05:55] <tbuss> sold my soul to the devil for help...............later
[05:55] <varsendagger_> http://picasaweb.google.com/Nead.Enterprises/UntitledAlbum
[05:55] <crdlb> tweek, I don't have that problem, but you could work around it by using sshfs
[05:55] <chipbuddy> i'm using beryl and i'd like to configure my desktop a little more... specifically i want to change the bars and the top and bottom... what should i search for on the forums to find these kinds of instructions? or is there a handy web page?
[05:56] <tweek> sshfs would be encrypted then and the speed woudl be limited. im copying 10gigs at a crack
[05:56] <ant-> Cin : maybe it just doesnt support visual 0x5b, whatever that is
[05:56] <MLimburg> chipbuddy, try #ubuntu-effects .. i'll give you what advice i can :)
[05:56] <crdlb> Cin, that warning is completely harmless
[05:56] <Cin> ant-, I apparently have direct rendering, but it's very slow
[05:56] <crdlb> it means nothing
[05:56] <Pollywog> Cin: I don't think that glx stuff is supposed to work with the hardware you are using
[05:56] <varsendagger_> i have a problem wiht my fun gnome deamond loaindg and here is the link   http://picasaweb.google.com/Nead.Enterprises/UntitledAlbum
[05:56] <Fosten> hey folks, i've got pundit-r with an ati radeon 9100.  i've set up tv-out through x in ubuntu and the display looks fine.  however all videos show too big for vlc, xine, etc, is this an xorg.conf misconfiguration?  how do i troubleshoot this?
[05:56] <ant-> Cin : the card is in no way that great
[05:57] <Cin> crdlb, I wish it did. because nobody has an explanation as to why my card is slow
[05:57] <ant-> Cin : its just not a great card
[05:57] <Cin> ant-, well it works completely fine in Windows, it's not like I'm complaining about the card itself
[05:57] <arrow> can someone give me a link that explains what a seed box is?
[05:57] <Taxman> the thing you sprout seeds in?
[05:57] <ant-> Cin : its the drivers fault
[05:57] <tbuss> arrow: www.google.com
[05:57] <Pollywog> seed box you mean for torrents?
[05:58] <arrow> Taxman, nope, srry
[05:58] <hijjt> Cin, the 810 is pretty slow
[05:58] <ant-> Cin : tell intel to create better driver support for their hardware under *nix
[05:58] <arrow> Yes, Pollywog
[05:58] <Cin> hijjt, driver or card?
[05:58] <ant-> Cin : or you can try that i915, i'm going to read up on it, maybe its 'better'
[05:58] <hijjt> Cin, what processor is in it?, the intel driver for xorg is pretty fast, the 810 is just slow
[05:59] <DraconPern> is there a text editor that will allow me to save files in /etc?
[05:59] <ant-> DraconPern : you just need to use sudo in front of your editor
[05:59] <hijjt> DraconPern, use sudo and whatever editor
[05:59] <ant-> DraconPern : to gain permission
[06:00] <Cin> ant-, yeah, last time I tried the i915 driver, it failed at compiling and bailed out half way through, leaving my graphics even worse. I'm on a fresh install now
[06:00] <DraconPern> let me rephrase that, without using the CLI?
[06:00] <tbuss> ftp server, help, not a whole lot, just a little, anyone?
[06:00] <ant-> DraconPern : if its a visual editor like gedit use gksu instead of sudo
[06:00] <Cin> hijjt, Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03)
[06:00] <hijjt> Cin, ahh so it is not an 810
[06:00] <Pollywog> I think that to do seeding you just need to download the file and that makes you a seeder if you offer the file for download
[06:00] <crdlb> Cin, you /should/ be using the "i810" driver
[06:00] <Cin> hijjt, nope
[06:01] <Cin> crdlb, which I am
[06:01] <crdlb> it supports the whole line
[06:01] <BeepAU> Do I need to install the Nvidia Graphics Driver before I install Envy?
[06:01] <ant-> hijjt : the i810 is the correct driver
[06:01] <varsendagger_> how do i restart settings deamon
[06:01] <Cin> crdlb, just poorly?
[06:01] <crdlb> Cin, this is the first time I've heard a complaint about intel's linux drivers
[06:01] <ant-> Cin : read up on the i915 driver, maybe its an update or a little better? you should read first though
[06:01] <crdlb> something must be messed up
[06:02] <Cin> crdlb, then I don't suppose you browse the Ubuntu forum much
[06:02] <hijjt> ant-, not xserver-xorg-driver-intel?
[06:02] <crdlb> Cin, not at all :D
[06:02] <Cin> :P
[06:02] <crdlb> BeepAU, what are you trying to do?
[06:02] <ant-> hijjt : nope the i810 is the driver for the i915
[06:02] <hijjt> ant-, ahhh
[06:03] <Pollywog> why is envy so popular when 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx' will do?
[06:03] <crdlb> BeepAU, do you need a newer version of the nvidia drivers?
[06:03] <ant-> hijjt : that is out of the box or default, cin was showing me a i915 specific driver on freedesktop.org
[06:03] <BeepAU> crdlb - I have a widescreen laptop with a nvidia graphics card and I'm trying to get a widescreen resolution and my nvidia card working
[06:03] <ant-> but i dont know anything about it
[06:03] <Pollywog> I must be missing something
[06:03] <Pollywog> besides a brain I mean
[06:03] <hijjt> ant-, is the i810 driver slow for xorg?
[06:03] <crdlb> BeepAU, just: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx linux-generic
[06:03] <ant-> mine works fine but i dont play games or anything
[06:03] <RyanRyan52> I installed something called sstepd (site: http://sstepd.sourceforge.net/) how do i get rid of it? I had to compile it using the makefile, but now how do i get rid of it?
[06:04] <ant-> hijjt : in fact i use fluxbox so it works fast
[06:04] <crdlb> BeepAU, that's version 8776, do you need a newer version ?
[06:04] <Cin> I don't play games. Xorg is just sluggish and it can be quite frustrating when you are used to a responsive GUI
[06:04] <BeepAU> crdlb - will that give me a widescreen resolution too?
[06:04] <Pollywog> ant: are you using the nv driver?
[06:04] <ant-> Pollywog : nope, i810
[06:04] <crdlb> BeepAU, yes
[06:04] <Pollywog> oic
[06:04] <ant-> Pollywog : it works out of the box,
[06:04] <Pollywog> yes it does
[06:04] <crdlb> BeepAU, use nvidia-settings to set it up
[06:04] <ant-> Cin : how much ram do you have?
[06:04] <Cin> ant-, 512Mb
[06:05] <BeepAU> crdlb - ok, i'll restore my system and try that. thanks
[06:05] <Pollywog> but I play games so I installed a Geforce card
[06:05] <ant-> Pollywog : nvidia ownz :P
[06:05] <marco_rs> Hi, I have a problem with Ubuntu installation.
[06:06] <hanbush> hi, whats a good p2p client for edgy?
[06:06] <marco_rs> I try to install over Kurumin and I can't to acess the /home partition
[06:06] <Cin> hanbush, eMule (eDonkey network), Nicotine (Soulseek network), Limewire (Gnutella network)
[06:07] <Cin> ant-, and I come to the same conclusion as everytime I try to debug this problem: "fsdgs"
[06:07] <Pollywog> fsdgs?
[06:08] <Cin> indeed. "bleh" "whatever" "oh well"
[06:08] <marco_rs> Algum fala portugus?
[06:08] <hanbush> cin: limewire is a rpm archive, how do i extract it?
[06:08] <Cin> hanbush, if I remember correctly Ubuntu Guide has a section about using Limewire. one moment
[06:08] <Pollywog> is there a Portuguese ubuntu channel?
[06:08] <Pollywog> for marco_rs
[06:09] <marco_rs> thanks
[06:09] <beg1689> use frostware
[06:09] <Cin> hanbush, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_P2P_Gnutella_Client_.28LimeWire.29
[06:09] <beg1689> frostwire has a ubuntu deb on their main site
[06:09] <Cin> ah, true
[06:09] <hanbush> cin: thanks mate
[06:09] <michael_the_choi> :-D
[06:09] <beg1689> if im not mistaken they are th exact same thing
[06:09] <Cin> hanbush, what beg1689 suggested is probably better
[06:10] <abk> Hi guys, I'm kind of flipping out here about a mySQL problem. Anyone here have basic knowledge?
[06:10] <beg1689> (except on is blue)
[06:10] <jerkface> Ok sweet
[06:10] <jerkface> Hostname problem fixed
[06:10] <Cin> beg1689, yeah. one is just as a fallback in case Limewire becomes closed source
[06:10] <ant-> jerkface, what problem?
[06:10] <Cin> beg1689, correction: in case they stop giving it away
[06:10] <Pollywog> jerkface: if you are running a mail server, you will need to change the hostname in the server config
[06:11] <jerkface> ant-: Hostname wasn't being set, had to follow steps here http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/02/06/fix-hostname-unknown-in-router/
[06:11] <ant-> ah
[06:11] <JerryKB> might someone be able to tell me please, if having on my secondary IDE channel a dvdrw drive as master and a hard drive as slave, would the hard drive interfere with the dvdrw drive?
[06:11] <beg1689> so anyway.. how can i get my extra mouse buttons to work
[06:11] <beg1689> i have one of those wheels that clicks left and right
[06:11] <abk> A while ago, my database stopped taking connections. It wouldn't restart, and I eventually deduced that my logfiles had improper permissions. I fixed that, but when it restarted: no data in the tables! My suspicion is that I'm suffering the same permissions problem in my data. found the datadir, does anyone know what the proper permissions are?
[06:11] <beg1689> but they dont even show up in xev :(
[06:11] <toferrado> I did install the j2re1.4-mozilla-plugin package using sudo apt-get install j2re1.4-mozilla-plugin command... how do I full uninstall it?
[06:12] <DraconPern> abk: chmod 777 *
[06:12] <Pollywog> why would you want to make permissions chmod 777?
[06:13] <DraconPern> because his data is more important
[06:13] <hanbush> beg1689: do you have a link to the website? theres nothing on google, just some weird flash site
[06:13] <beg1689> frostwire?
[06:13] <beg1689> frostwire.com
[06:14] <nonuda> i'm reconfiguring xserver on my old cpu, its hp vectra vl series 4, what vga card driver should i choose?
[06:14] <beg1689> it should autodetect ubuntu and give a .deb download link
[06:14] <cables> Why doesn't sed require me to escape '('?
[06:15] <NDAKOTA> hello
[06:15] <dabaR> cables: is this Ubuntu specific?
[06:15] <cables> dabaR, nope, sorry
[06:15] <tombow> you're from north dakota?
[06:15] <cables> NDAKOTA, TANKADO?
[06:15] <cables> NDAKOTA, that book sucked... but that's -offtopic :)
[06:15] <jerkface0> Ermph, the hostname is set to server1 now. I'm looking at it in my routers config, but it even tho it's set I still can't access it from my network :X
[06:15] <dabaR> cables: I am not asking because you should not be asking that here...there is a #sed, they may know.
[06:16] <jerkface0> The ubuntu server's been reset and so has the router
[06:16] <abk> Problem solved-- just for the record, something had changed everything in /var/lib/mysql to root:mysql instead of mysql:mysql
[06:16] <abk> No idea why
[06:18] <lotacus> hey, anyone have gaim 2.0 beta 5 in a deb package?
[06:19] <toferrado> I did install the j2re1.4-mozilla-plugin package using sudo apt-get install j2re1.4-mozilla-plugin command... how do I full uninstall it?
[06:20] <lotacus> use the remove option ?
[06:20] <lotacus> apt-get remove <package>
[06:20] <hanbush> how would i install java?
[06:20] <NDAKOTA> synaptic
[06:21] <hanbush> whats the name for apt-get
[06:21] <dabaR> !java
[06:21] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[06:21] <PhirePhly> toferrado: you can also run "man apt-get
[06:21] <caveman> good evening
[06:21] <lotacus> has anyone tried autopackage?
[06:21] <lotacus> for amd64 ?
[06:21] <toferrado> PhirePhly, I did use sudo apt-get remove but it (java) still works :/
[06:22] <Cin> I'm trying to do this, but it can't find the package: sudo apt-get install kernel-headers-`uname -r`
[06:22] <PhirePhly> toferrado: the next thing I would do is search for java in synaptic and see what you still have installed
[06:22] <Cin> E: Couldn't find package kernel-headers-2.6.17-11-386
[06:22] <Cin> it only has kernel-headers-2.4.27-2-386 2.4.27-12
[06:22] <Cin> where can I get the apt source for 2.6?
[06:23] <crdlb> Cin, you should be running the "generic" kernel not "386"
[06:23] <Cin> crdlb, well that's what `uname -r` gives me
[06:23] <nickv111> Hmm. Something's wrong with my recently-installed floppy drive. Whenever I do anything with a disk in, it says it's "read only", even though the disk is set to be writable. The same thing happens with disk out. The floppy module is loaded.
[06:23] <nickv111> Any ideas?
[06:23] <crdlb> Cin, yes, you should remove linux-image-386, and and switch at grub
[06:23] <nonuda> aha found it, its an intragated s3 trio 765
[06:24] <Cin> crdlb, but that's the default one. what should I select instead/
[06:24] <crdlb> Cin, on edgy you should use "generic"
[06:25] <Cin> errrr
[06:25] <hanbush> beg1689: frostwire crashes as soon as it opens
[06:25] <dabaR> hanbush: error msg?
[06:25] <hanbush> dabar: no error messages, just closes
[06:25] <TokenBad> ok question...I am trying to install nvidia drivers from nvidia site using their .run file...I get error about kernal source not being installed
[06:26] <dabaR> hanbush: run it from a terminal
[06:26] <NDAKOTA> is ubuntu organization currently hiring/recruiting?
[06:26] <enzo> man... I tried to install Feisty and I got some kind of Xorg error.. I got that same error a long time ago when I upgraded from dapper to edgy... anybody know why it happened again or whats causing it? I've reinstalled Dapper and upgrading to Edgy right now.. :(
[06:26] <cafuego_> NDAKOTA: Naybe, check the canonical website.
[06:26] <beg1689> hanbush: sorry forgot to mention that, on old versions of java, you will need to grab the previous version of frostwire; find the download link and change the last 6 to a 5
[06:26] <beg1689> or install sun java6
[06:26] <beg1689> either method fixed it for me
[06:27] <hanbush> beg1689: im installing java6 now thanks
[06:27] <Cin> ho ho. it only has -386
[06:27] <Cin> a big list of 2.6.x-386
[06:28] <mneptok> NDAKOTA: there are positions posted on the site
[06:28] <bullgard4> My sudo lshw includes "smbios-2.31  dmi-2.31". What does this stand for?
[06:28] <crdlb> Cin, then install linux-image-generic
[06:28] <mneptok> NDAKOTA: http://www.ubuntu.com/employment
[06:29] <Cin> crdlb, what will this afford me?
[06:29] <sayers> where is the effects channel
[06:29] <mneptok> Cin: what version of Ubuntu?
[06:30] <Cin> mneptok, Edgy
[06:30] <mneptok> Cin: get -generic
[06:30] <beg1689> #ubuntu-effects
[06:30] <mneptok> l-i-generic and l-restricted-modules-generic
[06:30] <Cin> yea, I just installed that aan now I can't see what I'm typing, I need to restart
[06:31] <kashogi> hello fellow chatter
[06:31] <kashogi> s
[06:32] <kashogi> i am having sound trouble with  my ubuntu feisty fawn 7.04
[06:32] <kashogi> need help
[06:33] <Crazytom> kashogi, #ubuntu+1
[06:33] <Cin> okay, so now I'm using -generic, what's changed?
[06:33] <kashogi> i get this error    :The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured.
[06:34] <Damaro> may i ask a question in relation to dos?
[06:34] <PhirePhly> kashogi: switch to the Feisty support #ubuntu+1
[06:34] <Cin> why did I just boot into -generic? what was the point?
[06:34] <kashogi> ok
[06:34] <thunkt> hi all, I keep getting an md5 mismatch when I try and install the vegastrike-music package, anyone else had similar troubles?
[06:35] <Crazytom> kashogi, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
[06:36] <Damaro> may i ask a question in relation to dos?
[06:37] <mindstate> im having some terrible connection issues, not sure why but every couple of days im not able to goto web pages properly, it go's so slow ..this is not a connection issue i've resolved it with my ISP, so i figured it must be something with Ubuntu. Some things i am able to get to fast like IRC and gAIM .. it doesnt crawl or connect slow.. but webpages do.. any help?
[06:37] <Cin> why did I just boot into -generic? what was the point?
[06:37] <Cin> I was -just- talking to you guys
[06:37] <Cin> was there a reason?
[06:37] <Cin> or was it just for fun
[06:37] <crdlb> Cin, generic works better
[06:38] <Damaro> may i ask a question in relation to dos under windows xp?
[06:38] <Cin> crdlb, what parts work better?
[06:38] <PhirePhly> mindstate: have you turned off IPv6 yet?
[06:38] <Cin> Damaro, ask the question
[06:38] <mindstate> PhirePhly, im not sure? how do i check
[06:38] <mindstate> PhirePhly, if i dont know i guess i didnt lol
[06:38] <PhirePhly> mindstate: 1 sec, lemme find it
[06:38] <mindstate> PhirePhly, ok
[06:39] <beg1689> Damaro: i dont see how that relates to ubuntu
[06:39] <Damaro> Cin: thanks :) ive been having recent trouble with the command prompt under windows xp, when i try to change the font it uses i only get 2 choices, is there a way to add other fonts?
[06:39] <crdlb> Cin, 386 is designed specifically for the 386 (nothing newer), generic is designed to work well on nearly all processors
[06:39] <beg1689> why would you use a command prompt in windows xp? its completely useless
[06:39] <PhirePhly> mindstate: in firefox, goto the page "about:config" and in the text box at the top type in "network"
[06:39] <Cin> Damaro, not that I know of. Window's command prompt is generally ugly.
[06:39] <anonymeeee> I need to set up a terminal session so that is connects to my cisco box 9600 baud 8-N-1....anyone know how to do this?
[06:39] <mindstate> PhirePhly, ok did that
[06:39] <thunkt> anyone installed vega-strike recently?
[06:40] <Cin> crdlb, I can see how that helps my problem of installing kernel headers. thanks
[06:40] <PhirePhly> mindstate: then scroll down to network.dns.disableipv6 and double click it to true
[06:40] <Damaro> Cin: i know -_- i wanted to give it a ubuntu console look by having the Terminus font, but I don't know how
[06:40] <thunkt> or how do you get around an md5 mismatch with synaptic?
[06:40] <mindstate> PhirePhly, it is already on true
[06:40] <Cin> Damaro, hehe.
[06:40] <PhirePhly> mindstate: rats
[06:41] <mindstate> PhirePhly, no other ideas?
[06:41] <PhirePhly> mindstate: two more, but i dunno how much good it'll do if that's already turned off
[06:42] <hub_> hi
[06:42] <jerface1> Hey guys I did apt install subversion right now, should the subversion daemon automatically be started when the machine reboots?
[06:42] <hub_> @ll
[06:42] <mindstate> PhirePhly, well lets try em lol
[06:42] <hub_> yes try it
[06:42] <mindstate> PhirePhly, could it be tmp files cache stuff like that?
[06:44] <safer> Help! -------- does anyone here know how to solve the "incomplete shutdown/restart error"?
[06:44] <PhirePhly> mindstate: maybe, but my first idea: system - admin - network  - DNS  and replace with the two ip address for openDNS (it never hurts)  google for those
[06:44] <mindstate> hmm PhirePhly , firefox runs fine, but swiftfox does not
[06:44] <mindstate> PhirePhly, is that not weird?
[06:44] <Damaro> Cin: :P
[06:44] <mindstate> ok
[06:44] <PhirePhly> mindstate: haha, odd.  I've never used swiftfox
[06:44] <dabaR> safer: is it a laptop computer?
[06:44] <safer> No
[06:44] <mindstate> PhirePhly, i think i may stop now
[06:44] <mindstate> lol
[06:44] <mindstate> ill still check out that openDNS PhirePhly
[06:45] <PhirePhly> mindstate: righto
[06:45] <mindstate> thanks
[06:45] <safer> dabaR: you are first to ever reply to that question in any channel I've asked it lol
[06:46] <safer> It is such a big problem -- So many people have it --- And no one seems to be talking about it here lol
[06:46] <clogic> quick poll...  what gtk music players do you guys use? :P
[06:46] <SuperSun> can someone help me on how to set a default interface if i have both eth1 and wlan0? >.<
[06:47] <DeVilSoulBlacK> http://www.ecualug.org/?q=2007/04/02/forums/vim
[06:47] <SuperSun> but keeping both active
[06:48] <tab_> quick question - been a while since I messed with linux. I have a harddrive that has 2 partitions in winxp - formatted ntfs - a c: drive and a d: drive - most of my data is on the d: drive - I want to format the c: drive  and put ubuntu on it - will ubuntu read the other partition just fine - or not? (thanks)
[06:48] <Crazytom> SuperSun, why do you need to have a default interface?
[06:49] <choudesh> ello all
[06:49] <umop> tab_, yes
[06:49] <PhirePhly> tab_: you'd need to add a ntfs driver, which I don't remember the name of off hand
[06:49] <thunkt> tab_: very easily, with ubuntu you won't even need to do any configuration of your /etc/fstab file
[06:49] <choudesh> PhirePhly, ntfs-3g?
[06:49] <SuperSun> Crazytom: for normal internet use
[06:49] <PhirePhly> sounds right
[06:49] <SuperSun> but the other one just for backup
[06:50] <Crazytom> SuperSun, I assume one is and ethernet device and the other is wireless?
[06:50] <SuperSun> yes
[06:50] <predder> tab_, ubuntu will see it just fine, make sure you just dont select the default disk options during the install and customise it instead. ntfs-3g will be required for mounting and writing to ntfs volumes
[06:50] <SuperSun> this is for a server
[06:50] <PhirePhly> tab_: listen to predder, my bad
[06:51] <Crazytom> SuperSun, It will automatically use whichever one is connected
[06:51] <tab_> so just to be clear (since this is my only computer and I can't chat again if I mess this up :) - 0 --- Slip the disk in run reboot - when I see the 'default disk option' - select customize - look for ntfs-3g - select that - go on my merry way and it should work?
[06:52] <andre> woi
[06:52] <oscar> Somebody can help me? I can't see the websites in PHP or PL.. somebody know why???
[06:53] <thunkt> tab_: I'm not too sure how safe ntfs write support is. I'd back up your data first
[06:53] <Death_Sargent> ok why is it when i leave my laptop lugged in and on it stops charging and i start loosing battery power
[06:53] <SuperSun> Crazytom: i cant make it only use one? =(
[06:53] <Crazytom> SuperSun, i am no expert but the only way i know would be to disable one or the other
[06:53] <SuperSun> Crazytom: like if i were to wget something i want it only to use lan
[06:54] <tab_> my plan was to put ubuntu on the main partition wiping xp all together. - then I hoped I could copy my pictures to the ubuntu partition - then reformat the partition the pictures were on in a linux friendly file system - then recopy back - so I only need to read it if that makes sense
[06:54] <Crazytom> SuperSun, i know that ping has a flag to use a certain interface?
[06:54] <thunkt> tab_: okay, don't worry about the custom settings then
[06:55] <thunkt> tab_: you'll be able to read from the partition with the default settings
[06:55] <goban> do i use the same 3rd party repos for feisty i did for edgy?
[06:55] <tab_> Cool, Sorry i wasn't beiing clear
[06:55] <tab_> I knew the ntfs thing was 'bad' to use in linux. . .
[06:55] <thunkt> tab_: it's all good mate
[06:55] <Desp_> hi all
[06:56] <oscar> Somebody can help me? I can't see the websites in PHP or PL.. somebody know why???
[06:56] <thunkt> tab_: It's not bad, on my desktop I have an ntfs partition, I'm just not sure how safe the write support is nowadays.
[06:56] <Desp_> Is there any program with ubuntu that allaw me to creat and manage disk space for users
[06:56] <Crazytom> SuperSun, check ur privs
[06:57] <adorablepuppy> Desp_: gparted? Or are you talkin about quotas?
[06:57] <tab_> I'll probably be back to get help tweaking stuff. . .
[06:57] <tab_> Thanks
[06:57] <Desp_> quotas
[06:57] <thunkt> tab_: no worries
[06:58] <Crazytom> !ntfs-3g | thunkt
[06:58] <ubotu> thunkt: 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)
[06:58] <adorablepuppy> hmmm. I'm not sure about a tool for quotas. . .
[06:58] <thunkt> Crazytom: yeah, thanks, that's pretty much exactly the same advice I just gave him.
[06:58] <Desp_> ok what can i do to resize a disk space for a user to 10 Mb for ex
[06:59] <dealc> I am having trouble with my samba shares
[06:59] <umop> Desp_, resize/add a aprtition
[07:00] <umop> dealc, whats the problem
[07:01] <dealc> umop: I can Add/Remove files using my main account that I created during 6.10 setup but can only read with all of the others
[07:02] <umop> dealc, then it's probably just file permissions
[07:02] <Aldanon27> heya's all
[07:02] <dealc> umop: I have looked everywhere but can not make it work.
[07:03] <Aldanon27> anyone having any luck with sound blaster x-fi?
[07:03] <umop> dealc, for a test, sudo chmod 777 <file> && sudo chown nobody:nogroup <file>
[07:03] <Aldanon27> i know the official drivers should be out later this year...but i want sound now :(
[07:04] <shawnr> Totem-xine preloads too much data before it starts playing a video im mozilla, feels like im waiting forever for it to start much unlike mplayer, any one know of a way to fix this?
[07:04] <Crazytom> Aldanon27, i have a soundblaster x-fi
[07:04] <Crazytom> Aldanon27, it is currently unsupported
[07:04] <moh_Don> hi

[07:05] <RyanRyan52> how do you program in python? Do you need to install a IDE or Compiler(I have experience programming in  Windows but this is my 5th day with linux so I dont know very much)?

[07:05] <ubantoo> try visiting this website at wlaoye.no-ip.biz
[07:06] <oscar> adorablepuppy: Do you want talk with me?
[07:06] <ubantoo> what's the diff between ubuntu and debian?

[07:08] <manny> hello all. noob over here. need some help. i have created a folder on my ubuntu system to mount a share on a win2k server. i mount the share and i can read and write files on the win2k share no problem. but every time i shutdown my system, i have to mount the share again. how can i make it permanent?
[07:08] <crdlb> RyanRyan52, all you need is a text editor :)
[07:09] <crdlb> RyanRyan52, it's an interpreted language
[07:09] <adorablepuppy> RyanRyan52: Well, you need python first. Then you write junk in an editor. Then you run it through the interpreter
[07:09] <umop> manny, you need to add a line to /etc/fstab
[07:09] <RyanRyan52> ok, wats the interpreter called
[07:09] <RyanRyan52> ????????????
[07:09] <cables> !python | RyanRyan52
[07:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about python - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:09] <chipbuddy> does anyone know the command in vim to turn line wrapping off?
[07:09] <adorablepuppy> Here can be your first python app:
[07:09] <adorablepuppy> print "I don't RTFM!"
[07:09] <RyanRyan52> thanks
[07:10] <umop> haha
[07:10] <ubantoo> :D
[07:10] <manny> umop, do i just add the smbmount command on etc/fstab?
[07:10] <ubantoo> or STFU
[07:10] <adorablepuppy> heh
[07:10] <Aldanon27> brb i guess i'm using integrated sound :(
[07:10] <jerface1> If I want to remove a package I installed with apt-get
[07:10] <jerface1> how do I do that?
[07:11] <cables> jerface1, apt-get remove
[07:11] <cables> jerface1, or aptitude remove (aptitude also removes orphaned dependencies)
[07:11] <mikeciance> i have ubuntu successfully installed, but i cannot log in because it does not recognize my keyboard input.  during installation, i was about to get the keyboard to respond by changing the device input, but this option is not available at login.  any ideas?
[07:12] <umop> manny, just remove 'mount' from the front of the command
[07:12] <micahcowan> chipbuddy, :set nowrap
[07:12] <jerface1> Awesome, thank you cable
[07:13] <adorablepuppy> I wonder how people can hate GNOME . . .
[07:13] <jerface1> is there a comprehensive ubuntu subversion daemon installation guide somewhere?
[07:13] <maxxism> good evening all.  this may sound like a dumb question.  but in ubuntu is there a way to completely remove all added on packages that arent in the ubuntu-desktop meta repo?  sorta clean a whole system without a reinstall?
[07:13] <adorablepuppy> Untick the boxes you ticked before?
[07:14] <vega-> jerface1: not ubuntu-specific but the official guide anyway: http://svnbook.red-bean.com
[07:14] <maxxism> but what about all the dependancies that got added?
[07:14] <drew_> I'm trying to use roadsend to compile a PHP script in Kubuntu FF, I'm getting an error about scintilla_new, does anyone know what package would contain this symbol?
[07:15] <chipbuddy> thanks micahcowan
[07:15] <adorablepuppy> drew_ are you using scite to write that PHP?
[07:15] <ubantoo> in webalizer, why are some locations unresolved or unknown?
[07:15] <cables> maxxism, there are a lot of essential packages that aren't part of ubuntu-desktop
[07:16] <rancoR> hrmm...is it possible to type in colors in bitchx?
[07:16] <maxxism> cables I want to clean my install but the newer feisty beta installer doesnt work on my machine.   the partitioner is broke.  I have sent in bug reports.
[07:17] <Madpilot> rancoR, not in this channel, it's set +c to supress all the colour info sent to it
[07:17] <rancoR> but is it possible in general
[07:17] <maxxism> cables I may brake down and go back to edgy
[07:17] <cables> maxxism, it's a beta. Wait till final.
[07:17] <rancoR> feisty that rough? =\
[07:18] <cables> rancoR, well the partitioner is broken apparently
[07:18] <mikeciance> i have ubuntu successfully installed, but i cannot log in because it does not recognize my keyboard input.  during installation, i was about to get the keyboard to respond by changing the device input, but this option is not available at login.  any ideas?
[07:18] <rancoR> that's...not good
[07:18] <rancoR> =P
[07:18] <safer> Does anyone know how to solve the "incomplete shutdown/restart error"?
[07:19] <manny> thanks umop. bye
[07:20] <maxxism> cables i dont want to wait 3 weeks for final
[07:20] <adorablepuppy> I wonder.  . . Is there a way I can remove a package update notification from the software updates window?
[07:21] <cables> adorablepuppy, I asked something similar once, and they sent me this, but it confused the hell out of me:
[07:21] <cables> !pin | adorablepuppy
[07:21] <ubotu> adorablepuppy: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
[07:22] <adorablepuppy> Hmmm pinning eh? I used pin on conary systems before. Shouldn't be that difficult.
[07:22] <Suurorca> how does pinning remove update notifications =D
[07:23] <Suurorca> you guys can just take the applet off the panel if it annoys you
[07:23] <BeepAU> crdlb - i tried what you said but got an error
[07:23] <crdlb> BeepAU, what error?
[07:23] <adorablepuppy> lol.Their answer is what I was looking for actually. Maybe I could have worded my query better.
[07:24] <mikeciance> i have ubuntu successfully installed, but i cannot log in because it does not recognize my keyboard input.  during installation, i was about to get the keyboard to respond by changing the device input, but this option is not available at login.  any ideas?
[07:24] <cables> mikeciance, try asking in the forums rather than repeating yourself every 10 minutes
[07:24] <cables> mikeciance, also ask during the day when there are more people here.
[07:25] <rancoR> usb?
[07:25] <rancoR> unplug and replug when its on?
[07:26] <BeepAU> crdlb - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13627/
[07:26] <mikeciance> cables, sorry for being bothersome i have been struggling with this problem all day
[07:27] <crdlb> BeepAU, run: sudo nvidia-xconfig
[07:27] <crdlb> BeepAU, then reboot
[07:27] <nickv111> Hey guys. I've been having a serious issue with sound on the Asus M2V. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=399995. I'd really appreciate some help.
[07:27] <mikeciance> i posted it on the forums so i'll just sign out of here
[07:27] <nickv111> I put lots of information on my forum post
[07:27] <adorablepuppy> I wish my graphics card didn't suck so I could use beryl. -_-
[07:27] <BeepAU> crdlb - ok, i'm rebooting.
[07:27] <nickv111> adorablepuppy: Ditto for my laptop
[07:27] <cables> adorablepuppy, how much does it suck?
[07:28] <cables> adorablepuppy, is it integrated?
[07:28] <adorablepuppy> It's intergrated on a laptop with no more expansion room.
[07:28] <cables> ouch :(
[07:28] <crdlb> adorablepuppy, what card is it though?
[07:28] <adorablepuppy> S3 UniChrome Pro
[07:28] <SeveredCross> Good God!
[07:28] <crdlb> oh that does suck :D
[07:28] <SeveredCross> I didn't think S3 made anything anymore.
[07:29] <adorablepuppy> :D Yeah It really blows chunks!
[07:29] <mindstate> having some terrible connection issues, web pages load extremely slow, aim doesnt connect at all... ive called my DSL ISP and theres nothing wrong on the line.. so i figured it must be an Ubuntu issue, this has been happening every couple of days..any can help?
[07:29] <SeveredCross> I had an S3 Virge back in the days. Man that thing blew too.
[07:29] <AMDXP> hi when is the next release due out?
[07:29] <SeveredCross> AMDXP: 4/19
[07:30] <fastbreak> If I reinstall kubuntu, will it wipeout all my personal files?
[07:30] <Crazytom> mindstate, want some help
[07:30] <mindstate> Crazytom, yes i do i /msg you
[07:31] <krinns> hi all
[07:31] <adorablepuppy> fastbreak: :) Did you put your home directories on a separate partition like a smart guy?
[07:31] <krinns> i want to disable proxy setting in firefox
[07:31] <krinns> any idea
[07:31] <BeepAU> crdlb - after rebooting I get a blank screen
[07:31] <fastbreak> $#%^&
[07:31] <fastbreak> ok, that answers that
[07:31] <crdlb> BeepAU, then the nvidia drivers aren't working
[07:31] <adorablepuppy> fastbreak: it's ok. You can cry.
[07:31] <adorablepuppy> XD
[07:31] <BeepAU> crdlb - what can I do?
[07:32] <crdlb> BeepAU, what card do you have?
[07:32] <fastbreak> no it just means i have to do it the long way
[07:32] <ksnipa> does ssh keep a log showing which users connected throughout the day and if so anyone know where abouts that log file is?
[07:32] <adorablepuppy> fastbreak: Did you break your kbuntu? Why reinstall?
[07:33] <BeepAU> crdlb - nvidia geforce go 6100
[07:33] <tonyyarusso> ksnipa: /var/log/auth.log
[07:34] <RyanRyan52> This isn't really about Ubuntu, but what are the limits to python? What I mean is that like Visual Basic only works on Microsoft Windows. Is there any limits like that for python?
[07:34] <SeveredCross> Python is cross-platform.
[07:34] <crdlb> BeepAU, you can revert to the "nv" driver by running: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg
[07:34] <SeveredCross> There are interpreters for damn near every platform if I recall correctly.
[07:34] <RyanRyan52> ok
[07:35] <crdlb> BeepAU, there's no way I can know why the "nvidia" driver isn't working without seeing the /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[07:35] <YAH_UNIT_OWNER> DO NE BODY HAVE FAKE BANK CARD NUMBERS
[07:35] <ksnipa> perfect thankst tonyyarusso ;)

[07:36] <acid_burn> WOOF
[07:37] <adorablepuppy> mindstate: Is your box acting as the DSL modem?
[07:37] <mindstate> adorablepuppy, no i have a dsl modem/router connect to it
[07:38] <BeepAU> crdlb - i ran that command and now everythings back
[07:38] <adorablepuppy> mindstate: Is your ethernet cable good?
[07:38] <BeepAU> crdlb - i'll get that log file for you
[07:38] <mindstate> adorablepuppy, i believe it is, ive no reason to think it is, and  i have the same issue on my other computer running ubuntu with a different cable
[07:38] <crdlb> BeepAU, the problem is that I need the log file when the "nvidia" driver is run
[07:39] <Crazytom> actually i have had that problem before with a ethernet cable
[07:39] <acid_burn> WOOF
[07:39] <acid_burn> WOOF WOOF
[07:39] <adorablepuppy> mindstate: my ubuntu runs great on ethernet and wireless. so ..  . . . try to ping your router, and see what pingtimes you get back.
[07:40] <BeepAU> crdlb - i don't know how I can get that
[07:40] <n-iCe> the sequence for install the file.patch
[07:40] <mindstate> adorablepuppy, i get immediate reply when pinging my router
[07:40] <BeepAU> crdlb - i don't have a floppy disk drive on my laptop

[07:40] <acid_burn> WOOF, WOOF
[07:41] <adorablepuppy> Hmmm... Check your DNS server address.
[07:41] <crdlb> BeepAU, run: uname -r
[07:41] <n-iCe> You need to be identified to join that channel
[07:41] <n-iCe> what's that?
[07:41] <n-iCe> how can i indetify
[07:41] <Crazytom> @register

[07:42] <crdlb> n-iCe, /ns identify <password>
[07:42] <Crazytom> not really
[07:42] <n-iCe> done
[07:42] <n-iCe> [00:39]  -NickServ- Password Incorrect
[07:42] <adorablepuppy> mindstate: In the terminal, cat /etc/resolv.conf
[07:42] <n-iCe> [00:39]  -NickServ- The nickname [N-Ice]  is already registered
[07:42] <n-iCe> what?

[07:43] <n-iCe> the sequence for install the file.patch ?
[07:43] <B123> can anyone help me with Beryl?
[07:43] <crdlb> BeepAU, then you should have installed nvidia-glx and linux-generic
[07:44] <aoirthoir> B123: try #beryl
[07:44] <aoirthoir> but I can try to help
[07:44] <n-iCe> i want help with fewwbsd
[07:44] <BeepAU> crdlb - thats what i did
[07:44] <crdlb> B123, #ubuntu-effects
[07:44] <n-iCe> freebsd **
[07:44] <drew_> adorablepuppy: no, I'm not. Should I use scite to write the PHP?
[07:44] <crdlb> BeepAU, I don't know why it isn't working then, sorry
[07:44] <BeepAU> crdlb - linux-generic was already the newest version, nvidia-glx installed
[07:44] <B123> tried beryl no one there to hlep atm
[07:45] <BeepAU> envy works, but then as soon as I restart it crashes. why is this?
[07:45] <n-iCe-> [00:43]  -NickServ- The nickname [n-iCe-]  is already registered
[07:46] <crdlb> BeepAU, you used envy? that may be why apt-get isn't working properly
[07:46] <BeepAU> it works on the first reboot, the pretty nvidia logo pops up when the systems loading and the resolution is right, but as soon as I try to restart again it crashes
[07:46] <adorablepuppy> mindstate: Hmmm. Check your routes. In the terminal: sudo route
[07:46] <BeepAU> crdlb - i did a fresh install and update before i tried what you suggested
[07:46] <crdlb> BeepAU, oh ok
[07:46] <fastbreak> one of the apps I tried to use, was customise startup ( I think ), it asked for my password, but then no screen came up.  when I rebooted my resolution went from 1600 X 1280 to 640 X 480.  a friend tried to fix it and only made matters worse, he tried to run the script to set up the resolution, but didn't re-activate the x-server...now I boot to a black screen....how can I kill this app from 'recovery'
[07:46] <crdlb> BeepAU, my only suggestion is to try the manual install method: http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Latest_Nvidia_Edgy
[07:46] <Prez> this beryl stuff rocks..
[07:46] <mindstate> adorablepuppy, what should it look like..i mean i see something but i dont know if its right or not
[07:47] <Prez> finally decided to install it..
[07:47] <adorablepuppy> somethin like:
[07:47] <adorablepuppy> 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
[07:47] <adorablepuppy> default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
[07:48] <Crazytom> Prez, what's so great about it?
[07:48] <TaintedWorks> i installed the broadcom 43xx firmware and followed the wiki and im online using my laptops wireless but it's extreamly slow caps at about 40kb/s how can i get it back up to the mb's like my desktop has?
[07:49] <eseyler> Hey all.  Got a bit of a problem.
[07:49] <mindstate> adorablepuppy, exactly like that but it says dslrouter in place of 192.168.1.1
[07:49] <Nehal> is it possible to omit a partition from automounting?
[07:49] <Crazytom> TaintedWorks, what chipset do you have?
[07:49] <mindstate> adorablepuppy, and i can type dslrouter in my web browser to get to 192.168.1.1 ..so that seems right
[07:49] <Prez> Crazytom: basically does effects on windows... it just slows down my machine in my opinion, but people are woed by it..
[07:49] <Prez> threfore wowed by linux :-)
[07:49] <adorablepuppy> mindstate: Interesting. There _seems_ to be nothing wrong. . . Maybe you have multiple devices up. Do you have more than one ethernet adapter?
[07:50] <mindstate> adorablepuppy, no just 1 .. and a regular modem
[07:50] <Belutz> can someone give me a link how to create ubuntu mirror repositories?
[07:50] <mindstate> adorablepuppy, its weird cause its been happening every couple of days.. maybe my modem/router has some bran damage
[07:50] <aoirthoir> cobol
[07:50] <adorablepuppy> mindstate: How far away from the nearest verizon office are you?\
[07:51] <mindstate> adorablepuppy, no idea, lol
[07:51] <eseyler> Someone got a sec to help me with my wifi troubles?  Ubuntu won't recognize that my laptop's wifi card exists.
[07:51] <adorablepuppy> mindstate: Err, insert relevant phone company?
[07:51] <mindstate> adorablepuppy, i have verizon lol
[07:52] <mindstate> adorablepuppy, its weird too, because 20 minutes ago i was able to log onto aim. now when i try it says connection reset by peer or something
[07:52] <Crazytom> eseyler, lspci -v
[07:52] <underdog5004> How can I check what version of a program I have installed from a shell?
[07:52] <mindstate> adorablepuppy, and no website loads quick, but my pings to the same sites give me back fast responses
[07:52] <jerface1> How do I install the default ftp daemon for ubuntu? sudo apt-get install ftpd?
[07:52] <adorablepuppy> mindstate: Ok. DSL speed is completely reliant on how far your modem is away from the DSLAM. If you are pretty far away, you may get a fair amount of interference/degration.
[07:52] <elodeon> hello what do i do if during installation my ethernet card is not detected?
[07:53] <adorablepuppy> mindstate:Are you having bad weather
[07:53] <mindstate> adorablepuppy, no its been beautiful lol
[07:53] <elodeon> i get "no network interfaces detected" during the installation of ubuntu. what to do ?
[07:53] <elodeon> err "no network interfaces were found"
[07:53] <mindstate> adorablepuppy, but wouldnt me being far away effect my connection as a whole? IRC connects normal
[07:53] <mindstate> adorablepuppy, just aim and webpages load slow
[07:53] <Aldanon27> alrighty back with one-channel sound hehe
[07:54] <Crazytom> eseyler, do you see your wireless card in there?
[07:54] <elodeon> i get "no network interfaces were found" during an ubuntu install on a PC. what to do ?
[07:54] <adorablepuppy> mindstate: I'm afraid I've got no more suggestions. You could try assigning your adapter a static IP address to see if that helps.
[07:54] <eseyler> Crazytom, I'm looking.  Lot of listings there...
[07:54] <Crazytom> Aldanon27, i know it completely sucks that we spent so much money on a kickass soundcard and now we can't use it
[07:54] <elodeon> lol
[07:54] <elodeon> welcome to linux
[07:54] <underdog5004> Anyone know how to enable encryption using rtorrent? I've included the line that says:encryption = allow_incoming,enable_retry,try_outgoing, but I just get an error saying that Variable "encryption" is not defined.
[07:55] <adorablepuppy> mindstate: Try this in the terminal. sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.58 up;
[07:55] <mindstate> adorablepuppy, yeah ill try that , thanks
[07:55] <elodeon> i'm  getting "no network interfaces were found" during an ubuntu install on a PC. what do I do ?
[07:55] <elodeon> and is it safe to abort the install at this point ?
[07:55] <fastbreak> one of the apps I tried to use, was customise startup ( I think ), it asked for my password, but then no screen came up.  when I rebooted my resolution went from 1600 X 1280 to 640 X 480.  a friend tried to fix it and only made matters worse, he tried to run the script to set up the resolution, but didn't re-activate the x-server...now I boot to a black screen....how can I kill this app from 'recovery'
[07:55] <xzai> you got a NIC card in?
[07:55] <elodeon> yes
[07:56] <elodeon> and it was just working
[07:56] <adorablepuppy> elodeon: Are you trying to install via a network?
[07:56] <elodeon> with the previous OS
[07:56] <elodeon> nope from CD
[07:56] <chriskk> how do you find the size of a directory and all of its subdirectories?
[07:56] <xzai> right click
[07:56] <adorablepuppy> elodeon: Then it really shouldn't effect the install process.
[07:56] <chriskk> from the command line?
[07:56] <Crazytom> eseyler, can you put the output in pastebin?
[07:56] <xzai> mm
[07:56] <xzai> forget
[07:56] <elodeon> adorablepuppy: but what do I do later to install the thingie ?
[07:56] <eseyler> Crazytom, I've found a handful of unknown devices, but nothing that looks like my wifi card.  It's an Intel/PRO card.  And I'll put it in pastebin now.
[07:56] <elodeon> to be able to use the network , you know
[07:56] <underdog5004> chriskk, I just saw how to do that...hold on
[07:57] <mindstate> adorablepuppy, it changed it from 192.168.1.47 to 58
[07:57] <bimberi> elodeon: just let the install finish and see if you can configure the interface later
[07:57] <elodeon> also i would've liked to run updates from the start right during or after installation
[07:57] <adorablepuppy> elodeon:thingie? I'm not aware of thingie. What is this "thingie"
[07:57] <Crazytom> chriskk, check out man du
[07:57] <jerface1> Anyone? default FTP daemon?
[07:57] <chriskk> thanks underdog5004
[07:57] <elodeon> the thingie the ethernet card , nic
[07:57] <chriskk> du, ok

[08:01] <eseyler> Crazytom, Which privs did you have in mind?  Javascript's enabled, and pastebin doesn't look like it should need much more than that.
[08:01] <Roach`> Can someone assist me in recovering Gnome? I installed a theme and it has taken it upon itself to crash. I dont have any of my toolbars up and I cant seem to get them back up
[08:01] <bimberi> jerface1: it's in the universe repository, which you'd need to enable.

[08:02] <mindstate> adorablepuppy, does verizon have a limit on the gb u can down/up during a month?
[08:02] <bimberi> jerface1: vsftpd is in main
[08:02] <jerface1> bimberi: Is there a guide somewhere? Im using dapper. Do I do apt-get install extra?
[08:02] <mindstate> adorablepuppy, Download speed: 2776 kilobits per second
[08:02] <adorablepuppy> mindstate: That's strange. Very strange. My machine is getting like 2.7 Mb per second.. . . That's near my cap, but you're getting well below that
[08:02] <TaintedWorks> the packet manager should help
[08:02] <fastbreak> how do I reconfigure and initialize the x-server from the recovery screen?
[08:02] <TaintedWorks> jerface1
[08:02] <adorablepuppy> I stand corrected
[08:02] <TaintedWorks> o.O
[08:02] <Roach`> For some reason gnome thinks that there is another window manager running and it doesnt start up
[08:02] <TaintedWorks> crazytom: you there?
[08:03] <underdog5004> fastbreak, sudo dpkg-reconfigre xserver-xorg
[08:03] <bimberi> jerface1: There is information in the packaged doco.  System -> Help -> System Documentation, Server Guide
[08:03] <Crazytom> yeah my upgrade killed my wireless so i had to fix it
[08:03] <underdog5004> fastbreak, or if you want the short and sweet version: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[08:03] <adorablepuppy> mindstate: Your internet speed is equal to mine. I don't know why you're having speed issues, but the bandwidth test rated you the same as me. And I'm not even far from the DSLAM.
[08:03] <mindstate> adorablepuppy, yes very weird
[08:03] <Crazytom> TaintedWorks, you're using fwcutter?
[08:03] <drew_> :(
[08:03] <jerface1> bimberi: ??? I'm using server, I don't have any gui. I just need to install ftpd so I can backup data from my ubuntu server that I just set up
[08:04] <fastbreak> so that will give me a 1600 x 1280 resolution?
[08:04] <adorablepuppy> mindstate: How fast is your internet usually?
[08:04] <fastbreak> or thereabouts
[08:04] <CalmeEtDetendu> hi all :)
[08:04] <underdog5004> fastbreak, you'll have to configure it that way, but yes, it will
[08:04] <mindstate> adorablepuppy, pretty damn quick, i can download bittorrents @ 400k
[08:04] <Crazytom> eseyler, join #ubuntuflak
[08:04] <hardikorama> how good is the fiesty beta?
[08:05] <CalmeEtDetendu> anyone got a good tutorial for WPA ?
[08:05] <TaintedWorks> crazytom: yes i think
[08:05] <bimberi> jerface1: ah, sorry, ok. if you want tha tpackage you need to enable the Universe repository by editing /etc/apt/sources.list and uncommenting lines with universe in them, then 'sudo apt-get update' and retry
[08:05] <TaintedWorks> crazytom: i followed the wiki
[08:05] <fastbreak> ok, I ran an app that was to customize the startup....but now i boot to a black screen....is there anyway to force the screen resolution higher?
[08:05] <TaintedWorks> crazytom: i did the apt-get method
[08:05] <fastbreak> to somethin I can see
[08:05] <jerface1> bimberi: kk, doingit now
[08:05] <jerface1> sec
[08:06] <tonyrome> does anybody know of a version of visio for linux?
[08:06] <Crazytom> TaintedWorks, the fwcutter site said that the 4311 is unstable with fwcutter, you could try uninstalling fwcutter and using ndiswrapper
[08:06] <adorablepuppy> mindstate: Sounds about right. I usually get 395k/ps.
[08:06] <adorablepuppy> mindstate: Dunno, sounds like your speedy right now.  Maybe erase the cache from firefox.
[08:06] <underdog5004> fastbreak, the resolution isn't your problem, I think. I would recommend doing sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg from a recovery console (hit esc when booting)
[08:06] <adorablepuppy> mindstate: ctrl + shift + del
[08:07] <elodeon> if i install a really old ubuntu on a machine, can I update it and bring it up to date to the latest release without reinstalling ?
[08:07] <mindstate> adorablepuppy, tried that already, tried changing DNS servers
[08:07] <elodeon> excuse my noobiness
[08:07] <underdog5004> Anyone know how to enable encryption using rtorrent? I've included the line that says:encryption = allow_incoming,enable_retry,try_outgoing, but I just get an error saying that Variable "encryption" is not defined.
[08:07] <fastbreak> thanks underdog5004
[08:07] <adorablepuppy> mindstate: Sorry, can't help. -_-; I'm out of answers.
[08:07] <underdog5004> fastbreak, np
[08:07] <Roach`> can someone assist me in recovering gnome on my main login
[08:07] <TaintedWorks> crazytom: what's the fwcutter site?
[08:08] <mindstate> adorablepuppy, its ok, im gonna goto sleep lol ..maybe when i wake up itll be better
[08:08] <Crazytom> TaintedWorks, http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/?go=devices
[08:08] <tonyrome> does anybody know of where i can find a version of dc++ and visio for ubuntu?
[08:08] <elodeon> if i install a really old ubuntu on a machine, can I update it and bring it up to date to the latest release without reinstalling ?
[08:08] <Roach`> apparently I pointed gnome to use a set of icons that dont exist and gnome segfaults
[08:08] <adorablepuppy> sounds good to me.
[08:08] <mindstate> adorablepuppy, thanks for the patience :) later
[08:08] <TaintedWorks> crazytom: thanks
[08:08] <Crazytom> np
[08:08] <underdog5004> elodeon, maybe...it'd be pretty sketchy
[08:08] <TaintedWorks> crazytom: it took me all morning just to get the wireless working i think i'll wait for a patch or something before i mess with it again
[08:08] <bimberi> elodeon: yes, but it would probably mean downloading more than the iso of the current release
[08:09] <Crazytom> TaintedWorks, so what's the problem
[08:09] <elodeon> is the iso (when burned) able to "upgrade" a system ?
[08:09] <CalmeEtDetendu> yes elodeon
[08:09] <elodeon> is it better to use kde or gnome desktops?
[08:09] <TaintedWorks> crazytom: i was just wondering if there was a simple fix to the problem and apearently there isnt
[08:09] <TaintedWorks> thanks for your help
[08:09] <elodeon> CalmeEtDetendu: thank you
[08:09] <TaintedWorks> byo
[08:09] <elodeon> Underdog: thankms
[08:09] <underdog5004> elodeon, kde
[08:09] <elodeon> bimberi: thanks
[08:09] <bimberi> elodeon: yes if it's the alternate cd iso
[08:09] <underdog5004> and np
[08:09] <elodeon> thanks all
[08:10] <Roach`> can someone assist me in resetting the theme to the default theme in gnome from an alternate login
[08:10] <bimberi> elodeon: and only to upgrade from the previous version
[08:10] <ant-> Roach` : gdmsetup
[08:10] <CalmeEtDetendu> you have to edit your /etc/apt/sources.list with the current relase name then aptitude update , aptitude dist-upgrade elodeon

[08:11] <elodeon> has anyone contemplated that choice before?
[08:11] <Roach`> somehow I pointed it to a directory for icons that the theme manager claims were installed
[08:11] <underdog5004> elodeon, solaris is still very much a work in progress. How comfortable are you with computers?
[08:11] <elodeon> very
[08:11] <Roach`> and it causes the a segmentation fault
[08:11] <bimberi> hi thoreauputic :)

[08:26] <StoneNote> tbuss, take a look at this: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79588  you'll notice in the secure setup, a userid/poassword is set up for account userftp and in the conf file an alias is set up for sauron .  when logging in with THAT setup, the userid would be sauron but the password would be the one set up for userftp. it's weird but once you get the hang of it

[08:27] <overridden> by default the ftp users are the same as the system users, is that so hard to understand tbuss ?
[08:27] <sogen> tombow: but live cd works good
[08:27] <Flannel> jerface1: you mean like thumbdrives?  Yeah.  You're on gnome?  There should be an icon on your Desktop.
[08:28] <bimberi> jerface1: yes, a file manager window usually pops up when you plug it in
[08:28] <sogen> tombow: and b4 reinstalling it was working good too

[08:29] <Crazytom> only?
[08:29] <tombow> sogen, are you sure it's a blank cd?
[08:29] <Flannel> jerface1: 1GB?  Youve got plenty for a GUI

[08:31] <kaitrek> I have an old win98 working comp, I deleted all win98, and put a ubuserver edition the latest one from cd, the instalation went smooth, but when i removed the cd, and it rebooted, I saw grub, ticking away, then it said Starting Up, and then BAM, my comp restarts, any ideas why my comp restarts over and over once it starts loading ubuntu(loading kernel perphaps?)?
[08:31] <darkk^> and are there plans about 6.06.2 ?
[08:32] <Flannel> darkk^: perhaps.  But once you're installed, why does it matter?
[08:32] <tbuss> StoneNote: this is short and sweet, when I go to user/groups to define groups and users, after I assign a password and exit it does not stick; it changes back to the old password when I open it again?
[08:32] <thoreauputic> tbuss: logout/login
[08:32] <jinx099> tbuss: u try sudo passwd <user>
[08:32] <darkk^> Flannel, uh, internet is slow here and I think about "should I ask shipit to send me 6.06.1 or should I rather wait?"
[08:33] <tbuss> jinx099: yes
[08:33] <tbuss> thoreauputic: is this common?
[08:33] <Clem> Hi Is there someone here that can help me get my modem working in ubuntu?
[08:33] <darkk^> I don't want to upgrate to non-lts release, but debian is too slow for me :)
[08:33] <Flannel> darkk^: gotcha.  Well, the next LTS will most likely be 8.04 or 8.10.  And if you ask for a shipit Cd, and they update to 6.06.2, before they ship, they'll ship you 6.06.2
[08:33] <thoreauputic> tbuss: changing groups and stuff only takes effect on the next login
[08:33] <bimberi> !modem | Clem
[08:33] <ubotu> Clem: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
[08:33] <tbuss> jinx099: I trid this sudo passwd userftp
[08:34] <darkk^> Flannel, thanks
[08:34] <sogen> tombow: ok i fixed it
[08:34] <StoneNote> tbuss, we have two account userftp and mydad.  I change the password for mydad to a1 and for userftp to a2.  then  I set up mydad in the conf file as an alias for userftp.  when mydad logs into the computer his password is a1. when mydad logs into proftp his password is a2. that's why changing the password for a userid appears to have no effect when signing into proftp
[08:34] <tombow> sogen, what was wrong?
[08:34] <sogen> tombow: sudo umount /media/cdrom0/ and now it works
[08:34] <Crazytom> kaitrek, when grub loads arrow down to the kernel line and hit e to edit the line and delete slash and quiet off the end and the hit enter and select the top line and hit b to boot off it then tell us where it hangs
[08:34] <tbuss> thoreauputic: thanks
[08:35] <dan20> Wow, the proprietary ATI drivers installed about as easy as installing them in Windows.
[08:35] <mathblaster> I have a graphics display question on PPC EDGY releast
[08:35] <sogen> tombow: i dont know what was wrong but i run that comand and now it works :D
[08:35] <Clem> yes dialup been looking for drivers for it for a while now. i just successfully got 6.06 running
[08:35] <Clem> O and yes i have been over that page cant make heads or tails of it.
[08:35] <rarj> Hi. Is there a Linux version of Doom 3 ?
[08:35] <ant-> rarj : yes
[08:36] <tbuss> StoneNote: thanks, I want to assign a group of family members the same username and password
[08:36] <rarj> or Morrowind ?\
[08:36] <ant-> rarj : for doom3 you download the install and copy a couple *.pkg files from the cd
[08:36] <mathblaster> I have a graphics display question on PPC EDGY release
[08:36] <rarj> ant- : Ok.
[08:37] <kaitrek> Crazytom ok, delete what? quiet and what else?
[08:37] <Flannel> tbuss: you probably want to setup a virtual user then.  Not tied to any particular account.
[08:37] <BotaniCar> hi
[08:37] <Flannel> kaitrek: change splash to nosplash
[08:38] <Crazytom> kaitrek, yeah that
[08:38] <tbuss> Flannel: yeah, I'm doing good just to get this up and running, might check into it
[08:38] <orehon> How can i replace a visual block colunm for SPACE ? I am using VIM
[08:39] <tombow> orehon: you mean blank a visual block?
[08:39] <Flannel> tbuss: Youre hacking through stuff you shouldn't have to to get all your accounts with the same login/pass.  Virtual users do just that.
[08:39] <orehon> tombow: yes
[08:40] <orehon> tombow: put one space in a visual block! =)
[08:40] <tbuss> Flannel: would a search on virtual ftp proftpd provide useful results
[08:40] <dan20> rarj:  To play Morrowind on Linux, you would have to install Wine or Cedega.
[08:40] <kaitrek> ok, I deleted quiet and modified splash to nosplash, pressed b, and it said Starting Up(or whatever it said like always), and then the exact same thing, restart
[08:40] <Flannel> tbuss: I imagine.  Yeah.  There's probably some great tutorial out there on setting up virtual users
[08:40] <tombow> orehon, i usually just do control-v, make a visual block, then "I" for insert followed by spaces
[08:41] <nonuda> in xfce desktop (xubuntu), how do i configurate my display?
[08:41] <tombow> try #vim
[08:41] <tbuss> Flannel: well, I'm new to linux and ftp servers, I guess that explains the late night
[08:41] <orehon> tombow: thank you!
[08:41] <rarj> dan20 : I havent been able to play any windows games with WINE yet.
[08:41] <rarj> getting all sorts of errors
[08:41] <Flannel> tbuss: basically, with the virtual user, your ftpd will know about a special user, that the rest of the system doesn't know about.  That way, you can have it have a login/password independant of the users.
[08:42] <tombow> orehon, is that what you were looking for?
[08:42] <Frem> nonuda: Menu -> Settings -> Display Settings. On my machine, at least.
[08:42] <tbuss> Flannel: my main concern is keeping everything safe, not fumbling through a configuration and compromising my computer in the process
[08:42] <orehon> tombow: i cant replace the visual block for space =(
[08:42] <Flannel> tbuss: right.  Well, all you'd be doing is adding the user details in the config.  All the interface and stuff would remain the same.
[08:42] <tombow> even with control-V?
[08:43] <dan20> rarj:  I'm installing World of Warcraft right now with Wine.
[08:43] <dan20> rarj:  Some people think Cedega is better with 3D applications like games though.
[08:43] <BotaniCar> dan20: does it work or are you just testing ?
[08:43] <newbie0001> Hi when I  lspci   I get  " ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 5a3f"  can I fix this? I think it is my tv capture card (perhaps not)
[08:43] <tombow> world of warcrack!
[08:43] <zyth> WoW works prefectly in wine
[08:43] <zyth> er perfectly
[08:44] <Frem> Warcraft III, Starcraft, and Final Fantasy VIII work under wine for me.
[08:44] <dan20> BotaniCar:  It's reported as perfect in Wine.  I'm just getting ready to install it.
[08:44] <tbuss> Flannel: okay, and this is supported in proftpd
[08:44] <BotaniCar> goodie , thx for info
[08:44] <tombow> my productivity quintupled when i gave up games
[08:45] <caveman> i have a question that has nothing to do with the topic
[08:45] <rarj> dan20: lucky you :-). I havent tried world of warcraft yet.
[08:45] <zyth> tombow, you should only be playing games in lesiure time when you don't NEED to be productive
[08:45] <tombow> then ask somewhere where it does caveman
[08:45] <billy> greetings.
[08:45] <tombow> zyth: if I were responsible enough to do that i wouldn't have problems
[08:45] <kaitrek> any other ideas why my ubuntu server edition would restart right when it starts loading?
[08:45] <tbuss> Flannel: appreciate the info, I'm going to see what I find and try to setup my server that way
[08:45] <Flannel> tbuss: it is.  http://www.castaglia.org/proftpd/doc/contrib/ProFTPD-mini-HOWTO-VirtualUsers.html  is one.  I... can't vouch for it.  And some of the config files might be in a little bit different places (sometimes that happens with ubuntu, which does file naming the debian way, which is really package friendly)
[08:46] <tonyrome> how does one set wine up?
[08:46] <dan20> The text on the WoW installer is so small I can't read it.
[08:46] <green> one glass one bottle one opener
[08:47] <dan20> tonyrome: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine
[08:47] <billy> Could I remove only the "splash" from the Default Settings in boot/grub/menu.lst to see my bootup messages?  Or remove both "quiet" and "splash"?
[08:47] <tombow> playing windows games on linux feels like making love to a distantly related cousin.
[08:47] <Crazytom> kaitrek, did you turn off splash and quiet so you could get more info?
[08:47] <tbuss> Flannel: thanks, I've got a thread going http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=392661 as a little more detail on what I'm trying to accomplish. Thanks again for your help
[08:48] <Flannel> tbuss: awesome.  Good luck.
[08:48] <freebasicjedi> Hey, is there like a list of all the packages?
[08:48] <tombow> freebasicjedi, open synaptic
[08:48] <freebasicjedi> oh, duh
[08:48] <freebasicjedi> I knew that
[08:48] <freebasicjedi> Sorry, I'm new
[08:48] <Crazytom> billy, they are two different parts to see the most remove them both
[08:48] <dan20> The WoW installation just failed.
[08:48] <freebasicjedi> OK, thanks
[08:48] <tbuss> Flannel: thanks...............later
[08:48] <dan20> I'm not sure why
[08:48] <tombow> and there's an "all" section
[08:48] <tombow> not that looking at a list of 13000 packages is very enlightning
[08:48] <Flannel> freebasicjedi: sure.  apt-cache dumpavail
[08:49] <billy> Crazytom:  I see.  Quiet must be more verbose bootup.  Thanks.
[08:49] <andres> holaaa
[08:49] <andres> alguien por aca
[08:49] <andres> :)
[08:49] <Flannel> !es | andres
[08:49] <ubotu> andres: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[08:50] <andres> ups oks
[08:51] <n30___> #ubuntu-mx
[08:52] <Crazytom> billy, verbose means you see more afaik
[08:52] <billy> Crazytom:  what is "ro"?
[08:52] <tombow> readonly
[08:52] <billy> ok.  that sounds good.  :)
[08:53] <shasbot> how do i move my /home directory to another partition without messing anything up?
[08:53] <erpo>  When I use nautilus-cd-burner to burn an ISO image, it tells me that the maximum write speed is 2.4X (for a DVD+R). Both the disc and the drive support 8x writing. Previously, nautilus-cd-burner would allow me to burn ISO images at 8x. What can I do?
[08:53] <Crazytom> read only?  depends on where you see it
[08:53] <tombow> true
[08:53] <Crazytom> billy, could also mean reactor operator
[08:54] <billy> Crazytom:  that's where you can add input as you boot, eh?
[08:54] <tombow> shasbot, prepare your new partition, copy over the appropriate directories, edit fstab to reflect the change, and reboot
[08:54] <tombow> thats how i'd do it at least
[08:55] <shasbot> tombow, do i need to use any special options when copying it?
[08:55] <tombow> i don't think so. /home directory is literally just a directory
[08:55] <DraconPer2> I did a connect to server to my windows computer
[08:55] <DraconPer2> why is it that I can't play any files off of it unless I copy them over?
[08:56] <tombow> make sure the permissions/ownership/groups are the same though
[08:56] <shasbot> tombow, how can i do that?
[08:57] <Crazytom> billy, that ro refers to the options as to reading the kernel, unless you're willing to reinstall i wouldn't play around too much with it
[08:57] <creedo> how can i instalol php my admin on ubuntu i try to installit but it says it cannot find the package
[08:58] <creedo> install
[08:58] <creedo> anyone pls
[08:58] <billy> Crazytom:  ok.  I have no desire for reinstalling any. time. soon.  Unless absolutely necessary.  Thanks for the feedback.
[08:58] <jshadias> creedo: sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
[08:59] <creedo> yeah i use that command but it says it cannot find the package
[09:00] <creedo> i edit the sources,list and remove the commment on the universe and multiverse source still nothig happen.
[09:00] <ant-> creedo : you need to enable universe repositories
[09:00] <roland_> how do i  set up a vnc server on my ubuntu box so i can connect to it with vnc viewer from a windows xp laptop
[09:00] <roland_> we're on lan
[09:00] <jshadias> creedo: sudo apt-get update
[09:00] <kaitrek> Crazytom yes, I turned off splash and quiet, but before I can get any info, it restarts
[09:00] <jshadias> creedo: then try it again
[09:00] <creedo> ok ill try it.
[09:00] <shasbot> cp -r /home /tempstor, would that preserve permissions properly?
[09:00] <tombow> shasbot, so you have a new partition which you want to be your /home, mount it /mnt/disk. do a sudo cp -r /home/shasbot /mnt/disk/shasbot. then chown -R shasbot:shasbot /mnt/disk/shasbot
[09:01] <shasbot> tombow, thanks, perfect
[09:01] <tombow> or some more intelligent way of copying while preserving permission that i'm too stupid to think of
[09:01] <shasbot> ha, that should hopefully work fine
[09:01] <tombow> errr. sudo that chown
[09:01] <UbuntuVSxp> Good day room
[09:02] <tombow> someone should make a gangsta rap with nothing but unix command names
[09:02] <roland_> how do i  set up a vnc server on my ubuntu box so i can connect to it with vnc viewer from a windows xp laptop? both on lan
[09:02] <creedo> jshadias: thanks maybe thats just what i need,..
[09:02] <shasbot> tombow, i sudoed that chown in compton?
[09:02] <crdlb> roland_, system>preferences>remote desktop
[09:02] <tombow> i chown my:root yourmom
[09:03] <roland_> ok
[09:03] <roland_> tnx
[09:03] <roland_> and by comand line ?
[09:03] <shasbot> tombow, now you are thinking
[09:04] <jinx099> roland_: vncserver
[09:04] <roland_> apt-get install vncserver?
[09:04] <jinx099> yep
[09:04] <Crazytom> kaitrek, so we're talking like .5 seconds between hitting enter on grub and restart?
[09:04] <EADG> tombow: search youtube for Kill Dash Nine
[09:05] <kaitrek> Crazytom yes
[09:06] <Crazytom> damn
[09:06] <Crazytom> sry
[09:06] <xukun> hi all
[09:07] <UbuntuVSxp> okay i have a problem, anyone have some answers?
[09:07] <tombow> EADG: LOL. like the lyrics but too bad he has no rythm
[09:07] <micahcowan> Agreed. Bad rapper, fairly decent rap
[09:07] <kaitrek> Crazytom so, you don't know what's wrong?
[09:07] <EADG> Better singer is definatly needed.
[09:08] <tombow> UbuntuVSxp, thats very hard to tell until you actually ask the question
[09:08] <NefariousPrior> Anyone know why I would get "No composite extension" when trying to run compiz ?
[09:08] <xukun> can someone advice me a good newsreader client for ubuntu to download from news servers
[09:08] <Crazytom> kaitrek, shortanswer no... sorry
[09:08] <tombow> there's http://www.mcplusplus.com/
[09:09] <crdlb> xukun, pan
[09:09] <crdlb> (also sylpheed but that's mainly a mail client)
[09:09] <ant-> does evolution do newsgroups?
[09:09] <crdlb> ant-, nope
[09:10] <UbuntuVSxp> i have Linux Mint <--- Ubuntu and well my graphics card is a radeon ati 7800 with tv out, well the dam thing work at boot up untill the login and then the tv doesn't work , i tried changing my refresh rate and no didn't help, i change the screen size and that didn't work, i downloaded the ati package and i couldn't find out how to use it, its installed
[09:10] <xukun> crdlb, in my of windows I used newsleecher, is pan anything like that?
[09:11] <crdlb> UbuntuVSxp, the "ati package" (fglrx) won't work on a 7800, you have to use the free driver
[09:11] <crdlb> xukun, never used it sorry
[09:11] <ant-> xukun : i bet a quick google will answer most of your questions now that you have a name
[09:11] <tombow> why not just use google groups
[09:11] <UbuntuVSxp> crdlb what free driver??????????
[09:12] <crdlb> UbuntuVSxp, the "ati" driver that ships with ubuntu
[09:12] <pavs> how to restart apache in terminal?
[09:12] <crdlb> UbuntuVSxp, it does not support TV out though
[09:12] <micahcowan> pavs: "/etc/init.d/amavisd restart" will do. Use "reload" if that's really what you want to do.
[09:12] <tombow> pavs: sudo /etc/init.d/apache restart or something
[09:13] <pavs> tnx
[09:13] <tombow> amavisd?
[09:13] <micahcowan> tombow, heh, whoops. Habit... :)
[09:13] <UbuntuVSxp> i had puppy linux on before this ubuntu thing and that worked,
[09:13] <micahcowan> pavs, probably /etc/init.d/apache2.
[09:13] <crdlb> UbuntuVSxp, then the "ati" driver must support your tv out
[09:13] <UbuntuVSxp> but i like ubuntu better because its more user friendly
[09:14] <xukun> ant-, I have so many things to ask or google that I dont know where to start, but must import thing is: How do I repair damaged par files after download
[09:14] <tombow> pavs: most stratup servvices can be stoped/started/restarted/queried for status from the scripts in /etc/init.d
[09:15] <pavs> tombow thanks :)
[09:15] <ant-> xukun : i was talking about pan, google pan to get an idea what its like, or if it compares to the one your used to
[09:15] <Crazytom> i know this is offtopic and i'm sorry but does anyone know what that distro is called to use your computer as a dvr is called?
[09:15] <micahcowan> invoke-rc.d apache2 reload may be slightly more "canonical"... invoking directly from /etc/init.d is more portable, tho
[09:16] <xukun> ant-, yes but that alone will not answer my questions
[09:16] <tombow> Crazytom, knoppmyth
[09:16] <tombow> or knopmyth?
[09:16] <micahcowan> Crazytom, MythTV?
[09:16] <micahcowan> Oh, distro != package, nvm
[09:17] <tombow> anyone like evangelion (the anime)? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLYhlZn5d5Y
[09:17] <ant-> xukun : youd be suprised
[09:17] <shasbot> hmm, i didn't think that cp would create a /home directory like that
[09:17] <Crazytom> micahcowan, i think that's the one i meant thanks
[09:17] <xukun> ant-, I hope so ;)
[09:17] <MasseR> !jdbc
[09:17] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about jdbc - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:18] <shasbot> blast, i shall have to fix that i guess, i think /home/home/shasbot wouldn't work well
[09:18] <magazin> hello, i connected a usb stick on my pc running ubuntu 6.06 LTS but nothing happens or shows up on the desktop, do i need to manually mount it ?
[09:19] <tombow> shasbot, did you create a home directory in /mnt/disk before hand?
[09:19] <ant-> xukun : i searched for 'repair par files' and the first thing i saw was 'par2repair'
[09:19] <shasbot> tombow, i don't think i did, i just did cp /home rather than /home/shasbot
[09:19] <shasbot> oh well, i'm sure it's fixable
[09:20] <tombow> it is. if you wanted to copy the contents of /home only it should've been /home/* or something
[09:20] <shasbot> ha yea, i guess i should have realized that much
[09:21] <qfour21> How do I enable monitor mode for my wireless card?  Do I need to download, patch and put in place new kernel modules for my hardware?
[09:22] <shasbot> is there an easy command to just eliminate the /home part and make it /mnt/disk/shasbot or what have you
[09:22] <magazin> hello, i connected a usb stick on my pc running ubuntu 6.06 LTS but nothing happens or shows up on the desktop, do i need to manually mount it ?
[09:22] <tombow> shasbot, umm... rm?
[09:23] <tombow> mv /mnt/disk/home/shasbot /mnt/disk/shasbot && rm -r /mnt/disk/home
[09:23] <shasbot> hmm, that seems good
[09:23] <tombow> question: why on earth does sshd_config come with permitrootlogin yes for ubuntu?
[09:24] <drumline> tombow: because somebody was sleeping...
[09:25] <magazin> anyone know how to mount a usb stick in ubuntu ?
[09:25] <Nocker> magazin: Plugging it in should be enough.
[09:26] <Nocker> You should have an icon on the desktop afterwards
[09:26] <magazin> Nocker: plugged it in and nothing happens.. the usb stick  LED shows that its connected and its green
[09:26] <Nocker> magazin: do: "dmesg"
[09:26] <Nocker> and paste the output
[09:26] <tombow> sudo mkdir -p /mnt/stick && sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /mnt/stick where sdc1 is the device name
[09:26] <Nocker> only the important lines
[09:27] <xircx> dose amsn support voice chat?
[09:27] <tombow> though it should really be auto mounting
[09:28] <B123> I downloaded extra plugins for compiz, how do i use them?
[09:28] <Nocker> magazin: dmesg should show you the name of the usb device. then you can use tombow's command with the devicename substituted with yours and it should work.
[09:29] <magazin> in the output of mount commmand i see this : procbususb on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
[09:29] <J-_> is autossh almost a necessity when running ssh?
[09:30] <tombow> j-_ is it?
[09:30] <tombow> i've never used it
[09:30] <qfour21> so, anyone know how to get rfmon drivers for ubuntu?
[09:30] <qfour21> or do i have to build them?
[09:31] <rowdog> never heard of it J and I've been sshing longer than openssh has existed
[09:31] <J-_> tombow: cool
[09:31] <magazin> in dmesg i dont see any USB related problems(i inserted the stick after the system was up anyway)
[09:31] <J-_> rowdog: k
[09:31] <J-_> !info autossh
[09:31] <ubotu> autossh: Automatically restart SSH sessions and tunnels. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3-4 (edgy), package size 23 kB, installed size 104 kB
[09:32] <rowdog> maybe it'd be cool for tunnels though, if you use those
[09:32] <magazin> Nocker what should i do
[09:32] <DraconPer2> how can I actually mount a smb share?
[09:33] <DraconPer2> when I do 'connect to server', I can't directly use the files without copying them.
[09:36] <koriel> anybody could clarify the diffs between server edition and desktop edition?
[09:37] <tombow> basically desktop comes with a gui
[09:37] <magazin> anyone know how to mount a usb stick in ubuntu 6.06 ? nothing happens when i insert it b ut this shows up in the output of mount command procbususb on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
[09:38] <tombow> magazin, paste your dmesg somewhere
[09:38] <tombow> not here though
[09:38] <tombow> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[09:38] <koriel> server has no gui?
[09:38] <tombow> nope
[09:38] <magazin> tombow: i inserted the stick after i booted the system and running dmesg doesnt show up anything relevant relating to the usb system
[09:38] <koriel> k
[09:38] <magazin> should i reboot?
[09:39] <koriel> magazin: re-insert the usb stick

[09:48] <Crazytom> jackn, look for your wireless card
[09:48] <ant-> magazin : maybe you got a bad usb port
[09:48] <kaitrek> Ali_ix by the way, could selecting both DNS server and LAMP server config install affect the bootup like it is doing? 0.5 second restart

[09:54] <floating> hello. I have 2 problems. 1: My firefox freezes on my xubuntu once in a hour use at least, if not more often. 2: to close the freezed process, process manager can kill it, but in some cases when it shows up in process manager as 0kb VM-size, i cannot kill the process, and the firefox tab stays on the desktop, how to remove/kill it ?
[09:54] <jackn> Crazytow, but laptop was connected and then stopped. Doesn't seem to be hardware issue.
[09:54] <Crazytom> ROnewbie, why do you want to blacklist your driver
[09:54] <projektdotnet> how do you send a message remotely to a user who is logged into an X session?
[09:54] <puff> Evening, gotta DNS question.  I need to copy a DNS entry from box A to box B, so box B can provide secondary DNS.
[09:54] <puff> Anyone familiar with DNS?
[09:55] <jackn> Crazytom can you help please?
[09:55] <micahcowan> Crazytom, to use ndiswrapper instead, would be my guess
[09:55] <ROnewbie> crazytom: I dont' want to blacklist it, I just want it to work; so someone on this room gave me the procedure link (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=201902&highlight=blacklist+broadcom); as I understood (me total noob) it includes blacklisting
[09:56] <Crazytom> micahcowan, i'm trying to figure out where he is coming from  fwcutter will work perfectly with his card
[09:56] <jackn> No connection to net, wi-fi or wired. Worked yesterday, so not hardware issue. Can anyone please help?
[09:57] <tombow> floating, well kill -9 will kill anything
[09:57] <spankbot> Hello all.
[09:57] <jqg> My ubuntu server has not export tool ,how to install it???
[09:57] <ROnewbie> crazytom, micahcowan: is fwcutter easier ?
[09:57] <Crazytom> ROnewbie, have you tried fwcutter?
[09:57] <ROnewbie> nope
[09:57] <tombow> floating, but are you running any weird plugins that may be making firefox crash?
[09:57] <ROnewbie> crazytom: no
[09:57] <Crazytom> ROnewbie, with that card i've seen it work in under a minute
[09:58] <safer> omg --- so I can't resize the partition I'm currently using???????
[09:58] <Crazytom> ROnewbie, have you installed ndiswrapper?
[09:58] <floating> tombow: i wonder.. i had trouble getting wmv and rm files work, installing those plugins dont work
[09:58] <ROnewbie> crazytom: that'd be something. / No, I haven't
[09:58] <Crazytom> ROnewbie, no to ndiswrapper is that correct?
[09:58] <Ali_ix>  jqg, what is export tool?
[09:59] <jqg> Ali_ix>	export $PATH=/usr/bin
[09:59] <floating> tombow, i forgot the command for killing process in terminal, it wasn't "ps" it seems
[09:59] <jqg> Ali_ix,export command not found
[09:59] <ROnewbie> crazytom: remember I'm only 3 days old in Linux; so ndiswrapper is not needed for fwcutter? / No, I haven't installed anything on the wi-fi problem yet. Awaiting suggestions.
[09:59] <floating> first i need the process id
[09:59] <spankbot> Does anyone know what the most up-to-date instructions for installing Compiz are?  There are so many different pages on this topic...
[09:59] <Ali_ix> jqg, what is your current shell?
[09:59] <Ali_ix> jqg, try bash
[09:59] <jqg> Ali_ix,I guess the server version not include it.
[09:59] <jqg> Ali_ix,bash
[10:00] <jackn> Crazytom, any help on the connection issue, please?
[10:00] <tombow> floating, well killall can kill by name
[10:00] <erpo> spankbot: No. However, I installed beryl once an it wasn't worth the effort. I got tired of it in a week and a half.
[10:00] <tombow> 'killall firefox'
[10:00] <Ali_ix> jqg, what is you ubuntu version?
[10:00] <Crazytom> ROnewbie, under the synaptic package manager search for fwcutter and install it.  while installing it look for the check box for fetch and install firmware and be _sure_ to check it.
[10:00] <floating> tombow, it says no process killed, hmm
[10:00] <tombow> or 'killall -s 9 firefox'
[10:00] <tombow> errr...
[10:00] <ROnewbie> crazytom: gotcha; here goes nothing
[10:00] <tombow> firefox-bin or something
[10:00] <Crazytom> jackn, please join #ubuntuflak
[10:00] <spankbot> erpo: I've used Compiz and liked it in the past.  I just want to make sure I use the most current install instructions
[10:01] <jackn> crazytom OK, thanks.
[10:01] <floating> tombow, still :o
[10:01] <erpo> spankbot: Sorry, no idea.
[10:01] <tombow> :-/ whats ps or top saying?
[10:01] <spankbot> I'm open to Beryl if thats a better route...
[10:02] <EADG> 'ps -e | grep firefox'  for the PID the 'sudo kill -9 pid#'
[10:02] <erpo> spankbot: I read a story on slashdot or some similar site that compiz and beryl were merging, so you might want to wait for that. Otherwise, beryl has more features but is probably less stable.
[10:02] <floating> top showing a long list of process, firefox not appear, maybe lower not in visible area. ps shows only bash and ps timers at 00.00.00
[10:02] <EADG> ... for the PID THEN...
[10:03] <jqg> Ali_ix,ubuntu server 6.06
[10:03] <ROnewbie> crazytom: is bcm43xx-fwcutter the package ?
[10:03] <Crazytom> ROnewbie, yes
[10:03] <spankbot> erpo: I noticed that as well.  Thanks.  I absolutely want to go the stable route...  Does anyone know what the next version of Ubuntu will use?
[10:03] <floating> EADG, the pid kill killed it \o/ better remember those one
[10:04] <Crazytom> i think jackn thought i was blowning him off, i just didn't want him to flood in here
[10:04] <erpo> spankbot: Probably neither. Gnome+metacity.
[10:04] <Jumbola> !w32codecs

[10:04] <floating> i woncder what is the problem with the firefox acting like that. i tried another browser, but it was based on firefox or mozilla, and it freezed as often
[10:05] <floating> is there a rather easy step by step to uninstall firefox fully and make a clear install with right plugins ?
[10:05] <projektdotnet> When I am logged in remotely via SSH (terminal session) and someone is logged in to that machine in an X session how do I make a message pop up on their screen? wall doesnt seem to work right
[10:06] <Jumbola> !automatix
[10:06] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use.

[10:06] <tombow> lol
[10:06] <jqg> Ali_ix,any suggestion?I don't know which package should be pathced?
[10:06] <Ali_ix> jqg, export is a bash built in command. did you changed/reinstall bash manually?
[10:06] <EADG> floating: I'd start with removing the last plugin you installed, run for awhile & see if it freezes.
[10:06] <ROnewbie> crazytom: at no point did I have the option to do anything during the installation.
[10:06] <Crazytom> projektdotnet, wall works if they have a terminal open
[10:06] <cypher1> how do i choose the display manager i want to use ? (kdm, gdm etc)
[10:06] <Rooy> !WorksForMe
[10:06] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[10:06] <ROnewbie> crazytom: it just went through
[10:06] <ROnewbie> crazytom: what now ?
[10:06] <jqg> Ali_ix,no
[10:07] <projektdotnet> crazytom: if my dad knew what a terminal was I wouldn't need to be remotely logged in
[10:07] <Crazytom> ROnewbie, you used synaptic>
[10:07] <tombow> why do you need anything beyond apt?
[10:07] <xircx> whats the command to uninstall a program?
[10:07] <ROnewbie> crazytom: eys
[10:07] <tombow> xircx, apt-get remove or use synaptic
[10:07] <floating> EADG: I have installed xine with dependencies, if that is related(?) then only right after firefox install, i installed a full line of plugins at one command, recommended at ubuntuguide.org if i remember right
[10:08] <ROnewbie> crazytom: what now ?
[10:08] <neonlinux> hey all... anyone know about ati cards on feisty?
[10:08] <creedo> i try to set up samba nad follow the tutorial and when i access my files in windows xp it says it is not accesible
[10:08] <projektdotnet> When I am logged in remotely via SSH (terminal session) and someone is logged in to that machine in an X session how do I make a message pop up on their screen? I cannot message them with wall since they do not have any terminal sessions (only logged into the desktop) open
[10:09] <creedo> any idea what is the problem i had been following the tutorial
[10:09] <Crazytom> ROnewbie, working on it.... hold on a sec
[10:09] <ROnewbie> crazytom: thanks a bunch
[10:10] <PoofDaddy> Anyone use Grip for ripping CDs.
[10:10] <felixhummel> I need a tutorial on how to set up an IMAP server on my local machine.
[10:10] <tombow> PoofDaddy, for audio?
[10:10] <Crazytom> ROnewbie, check out this page start where it tells you to download aplwlas.O http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1071920&mode=linear
[10:11] <EADG> floating: Look at removing the plugins you installed, chances are one is freezing on you. Re-install one at a time.
[10:11] <jqg> Ali_ix,or I can set my path in the profile? What is the file's name?
[10:11] <floating> how about grepping some log file about firefox, is it possible ?
[10:12] <Crazytom> ROnewbie, you're using edgy aren't you?
[10:12] <Rooy> floating: i *guess* firefox has a debug-plugin switch
[10:12] <ROnewbie> crazytom: 6.10, that's edgy, right ?
[10:12] <Crazytom> ROnewbie, yes
[10:12] <Ali_ix> jqg, try to install bash-builtins package
[10:12] <Shamrock_hh> can any version of "mount" show the UUIDs instead of the block device (/dev/sdbX)?
[10:12] <Ali_ix> http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/dapper/utils/bash-builtins
[10:12] <projektdotnet> When I am logged in remotely via SSH (terminal session) and someone is logged in to that machine in an X session how do I make a message pop up on their screen? I cannot message them with wall since they do not have any terminal sessions open (only logged into the desktop)
[10:13] <PoofDaddy> tombow: yeas
[10:13] <Ali_ix> jqg, yes it is under ~/.bash_profile
[10:13] <tombow> PoofDaddy, try cdparanoia
[10:13] <spankbot> floating:  I'v had alot of trouble with FX extensions causing issues...  All-in-one Gestures breaks the FC spellchecker for example...still.
[10:14] <PoofDaddy> tombow: I'll give it a try, but I'm wondering why Grip takes almost 20 hours to rip an entire CD.  I used Nero under windows and it took around 5 mins.
[10:14] <ROnewbie> crazytom: I remember going through that page before my last format, and it led to another network manager showing up in the quicklaunch bar in the upper right corner; but it too only saw eth0 and Io
[10:14] <Shamrock_hh>  Anyone? mount to show uuids of volumes?
[10:14] <floating> i see. I wonder if it would be easier to try another browser once again
[10:15] <PoofDaddy> tombow: they tell me Grip to rip and KD3 to burn.  What do you think?
[10:15] <Rooy> Shamrock_hh: match the device name with ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid
[10:15] <Sasuke> will 6.10 be on ShipIT?
[10:15] <Shamrock_hh> floating, what is wrong with your browser
[10:15] <Crazytom> ROnewbie, just download the file and install the firmware you don't have to do the network manager
[10:15] <xircx> lmfao there waz a full page in the ubuntu forms on how to install GYach
[10:15] <floating> it freezes often
[10:15] <xircx> nice
[10:15] <xircx> <--- blonded
[10:15] <BlueStrider> Is there a place where all the new Fiesty Fawn features are shown?
[10:16] <BlueStrider> or what will be new anyway.
[10:16] <pavs> quit
[10:16] <tombow> PoofDaddy, i've been using linux for a while now, so most of the programs i use are command line
[10:17] <Shamrock_hh> this UUID stuff is driving me nuts. The sdX allocation changes on every boot for my USB devices. Old habits die hard and I simply dont remember 64 byte UUID values :-;
[10:17] <tombow> k3b is okay i guess, if it works in gnome
[10:17] <ndazza> BlueStrider, http://www.google.com/search?q=feisty+fawn+features
[10:17] <Rooy> Shamrock_hh: you probably can assign it a label and use that
[10:17] <Sasuke> will 6.10 be on ShipIT?
[10:17] <ROnewbie> crazytom: you mean wl_apsta? in the link you sent me, would those be steps 4 and 4b ?
[10:17] <tombow> whats the release after feisty going to be called?
[10:18] <Rooy> Shamrock_hh: I never dig up what happens if there're 2 fs with same label though
[10:18] <PoofDaddy> tombow: any reason why you like cdparanoia?
[10:18] <Shamrock_hh> Rooy: no need. I have mounted them all at boot now and have them by their /media names. I still dont like it though. It all seems a bit dodgy and unfinished.
[10:18] <flamenkito> hay algn espaol por ak???
[10:18] <tombow> PoofDaddy, it works? :-) and very little options i need to remember
[10:18] <floating> ubuntuguide seems to be updated after i installed firefox and plugins, and i have no clue what plugins i have. i would like to uninstall everything related, but how do I know which plugins do I have..sshh, is this a problem to find them?
[10:19] <Crazytom> ROnewbie, sure right after you download the driver and put it on your desktop
[10:19] <jqg> Ali_ix>,sorry,after remove 'sudo' prefix the command is ok.
[10:19] <Rooy> Shamrock_hh: so i'm not sure i'm clear about your problem
[10:19] <spankbot> On my Sun computers I always exported NFS mounts from /export/data0 or /export/home0.  What convention do admins use with Linux?
[10:19] <floating> I mean, i have installed plugins that are not mentioned there I think. the long line for multimedia plugins is changed
[10:20] <ROnewbie> crazytom: you mean the driver that the laptop maker provides ? that's only for windows
[10:20] <Ali_ix> jqg, nice! :d
[10:20] <jqg> Ali_ix>	thanks a lot;)
[10:20] <ROnewbie> crazytom: still ok ? should I download that ?
[10:20] <Crazytom> yes
[10:21] <neonlinux> anyone had experience with ati and feisty?
[10:22] <Rooy> neonlinux: for feisty question, join #ubuntu+1 also
[10:22] <floating> okay. i checked the history and it is quite same.. i mixed it up with w32 codecs, which has nothing to do with firefox(i guess)
[10:22] <neonlinux> Rooy: ok
[10:23] <somewhat> hello.. update manager has been having some issues with Fiesty lately, namely open office.  I see today that it finally wants to remove:
[10:23] <somewhat> The following packages will be REMOVED:
[10:23] <somewhat>   openoffice.org-style-default
[10:23] <PoofDaddy> tombow" I'm ripping a CD very slowly, unfortunately, using Grip.  I have two CD drives.  Can I use cdparanoia on the other drive?
[10:23] <PoofDaddy> tombow: simultaneously?
[10:23] <somewhat> just go with that? (its a partial upgrade it wants to do)
[10:24] <jack> hello
[10:24] <spankbot> Hi Jack
[10:24] <jack> have you guys read up on google giving free broadband
[10:24] <Rooy> somewhat: that's normal, there's a new openoffice.org-style- to replace it
[10:24] <jack> the idea looks very funky
[10:24] <jack> but it looks legit
[10:24] <somewhat> yeah, adromeda?  Just thought the default going might be trouble ;)
[10:24] <spankbot> Jack: I'v not heard anything.
[10:25] <Crazytom> jack, the tisp?
[10:25] <Sasuke> will 6.10 be on ShipIT?
[10:25] <jack> YES!
[10:25] <jack> http://www.google.com/tisp/
[10:25] <jack> Doesn't that look crazy

[10:25] <matti> Morning.
[10:25] <PoofDaddy> tombow: i tried installing cdparanoia using synaptic and it's already there.  But i don't see it in the Sound and Video menu on Gnome.  Where can i find it then?
[10:25] <tombow> PoofDaddy, i suppose you can rip two at the same time; though i'm not sure how fast it'll be if they're on the same IDE cable
[10:26] <tombow> PoofDaddy, it's a command line tool
[10:26] <OkinawaInstructo> wondering if someone would be able to help me set up a HP laserjet 4050... i have been trying on and off for about a week now to get it running with no luck
[10:26] <jack> Crazytom does this look legit?
[10:26] <Matt35> I've got a wireless question about ubuntu fiesty fawn 7.04
[10:26] <tombow> 'sudo paranoia -vB' should do the trick PoofDaddy
[10:26] <Crazytom> ROnewbie, installed?
[10:26] <sunexplodes> Matt, what's the question?
[10:26] <Crazytom> jack no
[10:26] <tombow> errr... 'sudo cdparanoia -vB'
[10:26] <Crazytom> Matt35, ask
[10:27] <jack> but they are using google's DNS
[10:27] <tombow> you can use google's dns?
[10:27] <jack> no
[10:27] <tombow> :-/
[10:27] <jack> not unless you give them a huge amount of money
[10:27] <jack> lol
[10:27] <Crazytom> jack, it was googles april fools joke
[10:27] <Matt35> I found some computer parts lying around the house, and decided to make myself a spare computer... after putting it all together, I installed Ubuntu 7.04, and it worked fine in my room away from the lan connections in the other room, and then I turned it off, installed a linksys wireless card, and now it seems to freeze every time I try to login for some reason, any ideas?
[10:28] <jack> omg you gotta be kidding me
[10:28] <jack> I'm going to go slam my head in my car door now
[10:28] <Crazytom> jack, proceed
[10:28] <sunexplodes> What's the model of the linksys card?
[10:28] <jack> And I'm in a networking class too
[10:28] <tombow> jack, take pictures
[10:28] <jack> I will and I will post them on my site for you guys to see
[10:28] <jack> lol
[10:28] <PoofDaddy> tombow:  output gives me "command not found"
[10:29] <Matt35> it's the linksys wmp54g
[10:29] <jack> ewww
[10:29] <tombow> 'sudo cdparanoia -vB' gives command not found?
[10:29] <jack> not that linksys adapter
[10:29] <Crazytom> jack, thanks for that, i needed a laugh
[10:29] <jack> no problem
[10:29] <jack> So I was gonna ask
[10:29] <jack> Have you guys used Gentoo yet?
[10:30] <ROnewbie> crazytom: still trying to find the driver
[10:30] <tombow> jack, i tried installing it a few years ago, i think it's still compiling
[10:30] <Crazytom> i gave you a link
[10:30] <jack> lol

[10:31] <jack> I heard that gentoo was a bit more stable
[10:31] <jack> but ubuntu hasn't giving me much problems
[10:31] <jack> just a bit with beryl
[10:31] <tombow> gentoo more stable than ubuntu? up is down, black is white?
[10:31] <arooni> where is the eclipse plugins direcotry?  where can i find the 'program directories' dir of linxu

[10:32] <jack> it was pulling a winders
[10:32] <tombow> under normal usage neither should be crashing
[10:32] <Shadowpillar> is it normal for "anthy" to take 2 hours to configure on an ubuntu install?
[10:32] <tombow> Shadowpillar, for japanese/etc input?
[10:32] <Shadowpillar> yeah
[10:32] <ROnewbie> crazytom: http://boredklink.googlepages.com/wl_apsta.o ? so wl_apsta.o is my firm's driver ? I'm lost. I managed to find something called broadcomNDIS2.exe, from my laptop maker's page.
[10:32] <Shadowpillar> and I dont need that package
[10:33] <tombow> no
[10:33] <Shadowpillar> it's prolly in a loop or some crap

[10:36] <ROnewbie> crazytom: yes, just now
[10:36] <ROnewbie> crazytom: what now ?

[10:38] <phrank13> jack: look at RSBAC
[10:38] <phrank13> jack: i used it on adamantix - trusted debian
[10:38] <jack> thank you phrank13
[10:39] <phrank13> jack: use sevure patches, look at debian.org
[10:39] <jack> Are there any good programs for tracing IP address on a map
[10:40] <phrank13> i'm bad in english, maybe dig or trace route will help you

[10:46] <jurek> czesc
[10:47] <new7744> I made a big oops with my ubuntu 6.10 install.  I removed my admin account - and I can't seem to become a root user.  I don't seem to be able to run 'sudo' any more.  I've had a loo at the RootSudo documentation, but that didn't help me much.
[10:48] <genii> new7744 If you have a livecd you can boot to that. Then mount the partition your hd system is on. Put the name of a user on there you know the password to in the /etc/sudoers  file. There is already an example for rot user.
[10:48] <genii> root user, rather :)
[10:49] <K^Holtz> so is it now impossible to get free cds from shipit?
[10:49] <K^Holtz> of the current release anyway
[10:49] <new7744> true genii :)
[10:49] <genii> Well no 6.10 or 7.04   just LTS
[10:49] <Matt35> I found some computer parts lying around the house, and decided to make myself a spare computer... after putting it all together, I installed Ubuntu 7.04, and it worked fine in my room away from the lan connections in the other room, and then I turned it off, installed a linksys wireless card, and now it seems to freeze every time I try to login for some reason, any ideas?
[10:50] <genii> matt35 There are still some weird wireless issues. Try perhaps channel #ubuntu+1 where they deal with 7.04 more if no answere in here :)
[10:51] <bright_fame> no idea about linksys, but my laptop freezes on boot until i disabled the wireless module (if still froze with the wifi kill switch enabled)
[10:51] <bright_fame> this is 6.10
[10:51] <arooni> how can i get SUDO access for my UI apps (like file explorer)?
[10:51] <bright_fame> gksudo <file_name>
[10:51] <Ali_ix> arooni, try gksu
[10:51] <new7744> in the absence of an admin account, and me not being able to run sudo, is there a way I can increase the permissions of my account, so I can config my system?
[10:52] <Ali_ix> *gksudo
[10:52] <arooni> Ali_ix: but i want a sudo thing to mess with file explorer
[10:52] <arooni> and i get 'missing command'
[10:53] <bright_fame> arooni: gksudo nautilus
[10:53] <bright_fame> or this doesn't work?
[10:53] <spark_> Hi guys, I'm having issues with the latest 2.6.20 kernels; I can't mount my IDE disk (getting attempt to access beyond end of device messages)
[10:53] <Ali_ix> it works
[10:53] <spark_> Any ideas?
[10:54] <protocol1> I have a dual boot machine and I want to install over debian...can anyone help?
[10:54] <protocol1> the other partition is ntfs
[10:55] <bright_fame> protocol1: want to install ubuntu over debian? should be possible afaik
[10:55] <protocol1> bright_fame, yes
[10:55] <davisc> protocol1: If you have debian installed and don't want anything from that installation, you should just be able to tell the Ubuntu installer to format that partition and use it
[10:55] <bright_fame> when running installer, would just need to tell it to use debian partition: should be obvious which one if other one is ntfs
[10:56] <ROnewbie> crazytom: what happened? you still here ?
[10:56] <Crazytom> ROnewbie, yep
[10:56] <protocol1> davisc, I am going to install ubuntu 7.04 from cd
[10:57] <wijnand> i just updated firefox, and afterwards there appeared a little lightbulb in my system tray to tell me to restart firefox. Why was this lightbulb accompanied by a HUGE yellow balloon telling me there was now a lightbulb in my systemtray which i had to click? If you're going to do that you might as well just pop up the firefox message instead of popping up a message to tell me to go read another message... How do I turn those balloons off?
[10:57] <LaNCeloT_RW> hi dudes, what is the command to update database to LOCATE command works fine ?
[10:58] <Hobbsee> LaNCeloT_RW: sudo updatedb
[10:58] <davisc> protocol1: Well, installing beta software can be tricky
[10:58] <timephoenix> hi all. I have a rather infuriating bug which seems to pop up in certain applications. When the save / load dialog box is opened to certain directories, the application crashes. This happens on more than one application (mainly Gtk, but also OpenOffice.org). I'm running Dapper
[10:58] <LaNCeloT_RW> Hobbsee:  thanks :>
[10:59] <_Hug[o] _> What is the tool in the terminal to change the artist name of mp3 files in the metadata?
[10:59] <bright_fame> protocol1: have you ever done the disk partitioning manually before? it's not so hard with the ubuntu GUI
[10:59] <xfab> hi
[10:59] <cb__> can anyone tell me why i get a kernel panic if i update the kernel ?
[10:59] <davisc> cb__: What's the error?
[11:00] <protocol1> bright_fame, I was trying to do that....let me go back there and maybe you can help me with it
[11:00] <protocol1> ?
[11:00] <LaNCeloT_RW> Hobbsee:  very happy here man, im running DOS games like SimCity2000, Transport Tycoon Deluxe, Constructor... and other games on my Ubuntu :-)
[11:00] <bright_fame> sure
[11:00] <bright_fame> although
[11:00] <protocol1> thx
[11:00] <cb__> it says kernel panic unable to mount fs (0:0)
[11:00] <cb__> somthing like that
[11:00] <Hobbsee> LaNCeloT_RW: neat!  :)  didnt know they all worked
[11:00] <xfab> I've got a little question: Is there a way to compile a kernel without always using make-kpkg clean before
[11:00] <bright_fame> i never installed feisty before :P
[11:00] <Hobbsee> xfab: try in #kernel
[11:00] <Hobbsee> xfab: or something
[11:00] <davisc> cb__: What version of Ubuntu are you using? Edgy or Fesity?
[11:00] <LaNCeloT_RW> Hobbsee:  DosBox man, it r0x!
[11:00] <xfab> Hobbsee: ok, ty
[11:01] <cb__> im actually using mepis
[11:01] <protocol1> bright_fame, maybe I can get better luck in ubuntu+1
[11:01] <LaNCeloT_RW> Hobbsee:  is there a comand to LIST files with a pause?
[11:01] <Hobbsee> LaNCeloT_RW: indeed.  guess  SC2000 does run with dos
[11:01] <Hobbsee> LaNCeloT_RW: check man ls and man locate
[11:01] <protocol1> #ubuntu+1*
[11:01] <davisc> protocol1: I thought you had the parititions created already?
[11:01] <bright_fame> protocol1: should be fine unless they changed the installer radically
[11:02] <LaNCeloT_RW> Hobbsee:  ok. sc2000 runs with DosBox (if you like these games, download DosBox at source forge)
[11:02] <new7744> every time I try to 'adduser', it tells me I don't have root permissions, eve if I prefix the command with 'sudo'.  Does anyone have a recommendation for how I add a user?  My "Administration" menu is missing and I can't run the GUI adduser from the command line because I am not a root user.
[11:02] <protocol1> davisc, no I have the ones for debian and windows xp
[11:02] <LaNCeloT_RW> new7744:  sudo adduser
[11:02] <davisc> cb__: Then #mepis might be a better place to ask
[11:02] <Hobbsee> LaNCeloT_RW: already installed - i play lemmings in it :D
[11:02] <Sasuke> isn't there like sudo -s
[11:02] <Sasuke> to login under root
[11:02] <davisc> protocol1: Yeah, but I thought you wanted to wipe the Debian parition and put Ubuntu on that?
[11:02] <Hobbsee> !sudo
[11:02] <LaNCeloT_RW> new7744:  sudo (SuperUser do)
[11:02] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[11:02] <LaNCeloT_RW> Sasuke:  sudo su
[11:03] <Sasuke> ah ok ;)
[11:03] <Hobbsee> LaNCeloT_RW: ack, dont use that
[11:03] <protocol1> davisc, yup that exactly what I want
[11:03] <protocol1> but ???
[11:03] <bright_fame> Sasuke: try sudo bash
[11:04] <WaruiInu> how do i change the igmp versionin ubuntu dapper? 2.6.15 kernel
[11:04] <Crazytom> new7744, right click on a menubar and click add to pannel and choose menu bar
[11:04] <davisc> protocol1: Then it should be quite easy - no repartitioning. As long as Feisty detected everything OK
[11:04] <LaNCeloT_RW> "ack" ?
[11:05] <Shamrock_hh> anyone know of a way to get the system to cache the system menu? It currently takes about 5 seconds to open the menu on first click of the session.
[11:05] <new7744> hi crazytom, i ran alacarte to find the menu option to run adduser (gksu user-admin ... or similar), but it said I don't have root privileges.
[11:05] <cb__> noone answers there
[11:05] <protocol1> davisc, ok I booted with the feisty disk
[11:05] <Crazytom> new7744, did you use sudo?
[11:05] <protocol1> and I see install on the desktop
[11:05] <new7744> yes.
[11:06] <bright_fame> protocol1: yep, just doubleclick it like normal
[11:06] <protocol1> bright_fame, ok
[11:06] <Crazytom> new7744, you don't have an admistration menu
[11:07] <new7744> only a small admin menu
[11:07] <protocol1> bright_fame, starting up the partitioner
[11:07] <protocol1> bright_fame, how do I want to partition the disk?
[11:08] <bright_fame> protocol1: what existing partitions does it show? should be at least 3: swap, ext3/reiserfs and ntfs
[11:09] <Crazytom> new7744, check your priv messages
[11:09] <bright_fame> protocol1: basically you what to leave ntfs alone, and give feisty somewhere to mount "/" and also a swap partition
[11:10] <WaruiInu> how do i make 2.4.27 kernel to work in ubuntu dapper? the initrd image is made of 0 bytes
[11:10] <knewon> hey guys, i'm having trouble to install ntfs-config with dapper and apt-get, my universal repositories are enabled, what should I look for?
[11:11] <protocol1> I see a swap and a ext3
[11:11] <fenrig> hi
[11:11] <SlimeyPete> hi
[11:12] <timbo8> i need some help adding a user to a group via the terminal
[11:12] <fenrig> what does anacron do?
[11:12] <Sasuke> sudo adduser <username> <password> <group>
[11:12] <Sasuke> isn't that the command?
[11:12] <SlimeyPete> timbo8: "adduser <user> <group>"
[11:12] <timbo8> Sasuke, SlimeyPete: thankyou
[11:12] <knewon> if you just want to asign the user to a gropu, you can pico or vi /etc/groups
[11:12] <knewon> /etc/gropu
[11:12] <bright_fame> protocol1:great, you can either delete the ext3 and recreate it, or just set it to be formated. set it ext3 to be the mount point for "/" (root)
[11:13] <SlimeyPete> fenrig: type "apt-cache show anacron" in a terminal
[11:13] <detectiveinspekt> I can't kill opendchub, i tried sudo kill pid and it still exists when i do a ps -e
[11:13] <SlimeyPete> fenrig: that'll tell you
[11:13] <new7744> if I type sodo adduser anything, i'm told i'm not a root user.  I then tried to enter "sudo passwd" to set root password, but it did nothing.
[11:13] <timbo8> <knewon: yes, thats all i want to do, i just want to add a user to the group "disks"
[11:13] <overridden> sudo -u root passwd
[11:13] <knewon> timbo: sudo pico /etc/group
[11:13] <knewon> and add the user to the group
[11:13] <SlimeyPete> devilsadvocate: "sudo kill -9 pid"
[11:13] <SlimeyPete> erm
[11:13] <SlimeyPete> detectiveinspekt: ^^
[11:14] <Sasuke> ok try sudo sd
[11:14] <new7744> i just tried "sudo -u root <password>".  when i typed "su" on the next line it said "authentication failed
[11:14] <timbo8> knewon: thanks for your help
[11:14] <knewon> new7744: sudo su -
[11:15] <bright_fame> protocol1: also make sure the ntfs partition is not set to be formatted (obviously)
[11:15] <finalbeta> sudo -i (to drop yourself into interactive mode, (root shell))
[11:15] <devilsadvocate> I'm going to be giving an... umm.. lecture on the community nature of linux and how to interact with the community. Any suggestions?
[11:15] <detectiveinspekt> thanks
[11:15] <rarj> has anyone tried Feisty Fawn ? I tried installing it but it would proceed beyond the migration assistant.
[11:16] <bright_fame> rarj: have you tried #ubuntu+1 ?
[11:16] <new7744> thanks knewon.  I did that.  I then typed "adduser <user> admin" to give me admin privileges, but it said "only root may add a user or group..."
[11:16] <knewon> still looking for help with ntfs-config
[11:16] <finalbeta> devilsadvocate: start a flame war in the room.
[11:16] <knewon> new7744: : type whoami
[11:16] <new7744> tried the same thing with "sudo -i".  it still didn't work.
[11:16] <overridden> devilsadvocate : xterm -c sudo bash
[11:16] <overridden> :D
[11:16] <new7744> whoami says that my username is "media"
[11:17] <new7744> i created media as a desktop user.
[11:17] <devilsadvocate> finalbeta.. ah
[11:17] <rarj> bright_fame: Ill do that
[11:17] <knewon> new7744:  do sudo your command, you are not the root user
[11:18] <rarj> bright_fame : Thanks
[11:18] <knewon> if you want to switch to a root shell, do 'sudo su -'
[11:18] <new7744> thanks knewon.  will "sudo adduser media admin" make me part of the admin group?  mostly because the majority of my "Administration" menu disappeared when I lost my account with privileges.
[11:19] <wijnand> knewon: why not just `su -`?
[11:19] <LaNCeloT_RW> Hobbsee:  man, do you know any GOOD site to download old games/
[11:19] <floating> problem installing easy=ubuntu.deb it says i am not an admin when double-clicking the downlodaed deb. if i try sudo dpkg - i easy_ubuntu.deb it says  is not a debian format archive

[11:21] <Arcad3> how ca i make xmms to run at startup?
[11:21] <predaeus> Arcad3, add it to System/Preferences/Sessions
[11:22] <predaeus> Arcad3, under the Startup Programs tab
[11:22] <knewon> new7744:  the user media alread exists
[11:23] <knewon> type 'sudo grep admin /etc/group
[11:23] <new7744> knewon: yes it does.  I am trying to give myself privileges again so I can add users, so I can access my full menus again, etc.
[11:24] <new7744> knewon: if  I run that command, nothing happens.  the file exists, and it's not empty, so I assume sudo is not giving me perrmissions because I am a desktop user.
[11:24] <knewon> wijnand: because with ubuntu, you don't know the root passwd by default, unless you did a sudo passwd
[11:24] <wijnand> knewon: trust me, i did :)
[11:24] <knewon> wijnand:  well then its ok if you changed your passwd :)
[11:24] <floating> overridden: --force-all and same message error message came
[11:25] <knewon> new7744:  do a more /etc/group and look
[11:25] <overridden> sudo gdebi blabla.deb
[11:25] <knewon> new7744: if it's giving you no error it might be bacuse the line admin doesn't exist anymore
[11:25] <new7744> ok, i've got the content now.  what are you looking for?
[11:26] <new7744> not sure what a "line admin" is.
[11:26] <xircx> dose ubuntu support logitech hardware?

[11:27] <bright_fame> xircx: my logitech webcam works ok
[11:27] <LaNCeloT_RW> that's  great!
[11:27] <knewon> new7744: look for a line that starts with 'admin', that's the admin group line
[11:28] <knewon> if you don't see it you might have deleted your admin group or something
[11:28] <bright_fame> new7744: sudo cat /etc/groups | grep admin
[11:28] <new7744> there's lpadmin:x:106:oem
[11:28] <new7744> there's also admin:x:112:oem
[11:28] <bright_fame> should show you all lines containing admin
[11:28] <new7744> (I used grep to filter, so that's the complete list)
[11:29] <knewon> bright_fame: that's somewhat redundant: sudo grep admin /etc/groups will do
[11:29] <bright_fame> thnx
[11:29] <knewon> new7744:  ok , well just do sudo pico /etc/group
[11:29] <overridden> lol
[11:29] <knewon> and then,  add ,media
[11:29] <knewon> to the admin line
[11:29] <overridden> sudo users-admin
[11:29] <floating> overridden: Failed to open the software package The package might be corrupted or you are not allowed to open the file. Check the permissions of the file.
[11:30] <new7744> "sudo pico /etc/group" does nothing.
[11:30] <knewon> do you have pico installed?
[11:30] <knewon> are you getting an error
[11:30] <knewon> overridden seems to have an app to manage your users-admin
[11:30] <knewon> try that
[11:30] <new7744> which pico shows pico is installed.
[11:30] <knewon> will be easier for you
[11:30] <xircx> i have a mic/cam and i cant get it to record eny thing i say
[11:30] <xircx> the cam works just not the mic
[11:30] <new7744> it appears to be a sudo issue.  anything with sudo seems not to run.,,
[11:31] <timbo_> i need some help with mounting partitions and their permissions
[11:31] <floating> 153,625 bites deb from here http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/get.html is the file corrupt??
[11:31] <knewon> hey guys, i'm having trouble to install ntfs-config with dapper and apt-get, my universal repositories are enabled, what should I look for?
[11:31] <xircx> how do i set up my mic
[11:31] <xircx> ?
[11:31] <timbo_> when i mount a partition it works, but i cant write or edit the files, even though my account (tim) is part of the group
[11:32] <timbo_> part of the group that has read and write privaleges
[11:32] <timbo_> but i think it is my install, i have had to reformat a few times because things just dont work
[11:32] <floating> its funny that easy_?ubuntu file doesnt work and i cant get to install firefox=) then i try apt-get install firefox, and the file it tries to fetch, is not found, 404 error

[11:33] <timbo_> is it possible to run all games on linux?
[11:33] <overridden> tss
[11:33] <knewon> new7744:  try sudo users-admin
[11:33] <timbo_> all windows games, that is
[11:34] <Ali_ix> timbo_: you can format windows drive
[11:34] <knewon> this is a graphical tool to edit your administrators
[11:34] <Ali_ix> timbo_:  most of game
[11:34] <Tarsinion1> How do i download somthing from a http file server using the command line ;-) .. i.e. you have a ubuntu server and would like to download somthing :P
[11:34] <knewon> Tarsinion1: wget file or fetch file
[11:34] <bright_fame> xircx: have you googled for the name of you logitech product and linux?
[11:34] <timbo_> Ali_ix: would you recommending deleting my windows partition and making my pc completely ubuntu?
[11:34] <Ali_ix> timbo_: you playe cstrike, wow and .. in linux az well with wine
[11:34] <new7744> knewon: that did nothing.  it's almost like sudo means "ignore anything after the word sudo"
[11:34] <Tarsinion1> knewon: thanks, will try that :-)
[11:34] <knewon> type whoami again please
[11:34] <Ali_ix> timbo_: if you have migrated compeletly to linux, yes.
[11:35] <Tarsinion1> knewon: hmm wget works like charme, thanks again
[11:35] <new7744> knewon: whoami says I am "media".
[11:35] <timbo_> Ali_ix: at the moment my pc is still dual boot, but there are a few issues with linux, mainly that the gui doesnt always work
[11:35] <xircx> not yet i will in a few sec here
[11:35] <knewon> Tarsinion1: np, you can fetch ftp files as well with that
[11:35] <timbo_> Ali_ix: if these issues weren't there i would instantly switch to linux
[11:35] <jawnv6> how do I lock the screen/system?
[11:35] <knewon> new7744: well then i'm not sure what is your problem :P
[11:35] <xircx> !register
[11:35] <Ali_ix> timbo_: what is the issue?
[11:36] <ubotu> Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[11:36] <knewon> write down : users-admin
[11:36] <timbo_> Ali_ix: jsut things like missing menu items
[11:36] <knewon> thats the program you need to use to fix your problem
[11:36] <timbo_> Ali_ix: for example, when i go system => administration there is no "disks"
[11:36] <new7744> ok.  thanks knewon.  It all started because I installed the system as an oem.  I removed the oem account (as ubuntu recommended I do), and I lost all accounts with privileges.  I just don't know a way to give myself privileges again.
[11:37] <Ali_ix> timbo_: lol, change your mind from a S based mind to free mind ;)
[11:37] <Ali_ix> *MS
[11:37] <knewon> new7744: you can give me ssh access and i'll look at it
[11:37] <timbo_> Ali_ix: and with WINE, is it easy to install?
[11:37] <new7744> knewon : how do I do that?
[11:37] <chable> hi
[11:37] <Ali_ix> timbo_: you cant do thing with linux in the way that you do in windows
[11:37] <Ali_ix> timbo_: with many HOW TOs provided, yes it is easy
[11:38] <knewon> new7744: type ps aux|grep sshd
[11:38] <timbo_> Ali_ix: ok, i think i will permantly switch to linux then
[11:38] <timbo_> Ali_ix: i think i will get all the support i need from here and the how-tos
[11:38] <new7744> knewon : done that.  it's running.
[11:38] <Tarsinion1> how do i unzip somthing with the suffix .tar ;-) ?
[11:38] <Ali_ix> timbo_: happy to know :d
[11:38] <Tominator> hi
[11:38] <ardchoille> Tarsinion1: tar xf filename.tar
[11:39] <timbo_> Ali_ix: should i do most of my stuff in the terminal?
[11:39] <new7744> knowon : correction.  it's not running.
[11:39] <xircx> hmm
[11:39] <Tarsinion1> ardchoille: thanks a lot, the --help file showes vvery much options .(
[11:39] <Ali_ix> timbo_: yes! the big and kind open osurce community will support you
[11:39] <timbo_> Ali_ix: lol, ok, thanks EVERYONE
[11:39] <genii> timbo_: Have fun :)
[11:39] <ardchoille> Tarsinion1: The first example in man tar :)
[11:39] <Ali_ix> timbo_: no, but once you play with shell you will love it!
[11:40] <Tarsinion1> ardchoille: okay, blame on me ^^
[11:40] <Tominator> I tried to install linux-wlan-ng to get my ma311 prism2.5 card working...
[11:40] <ardchoille> Tarsinion1: lol
[11:40] <timbo_> Ali_ix: ok, i will learn it all then :D
[11:40] <knewon> new7744:  check your private messags
[11:40] <Tominator> but there is no module which I can load...
[11:40] <Ali_ix> timbo_:  have a nice migration D:
[11:40] <Ali_ix> *:d
[11:41] <timbo_> Ali_ix: thanks, and i can always reinstall windows if i have to, by resizing the linux partition
[11:41] <new7744> knewon: I can't see any private messages.  i'm using gaim.
[11:41] <Tarsinion1> mhm next question:P ... its a question marathon today. HOw do i rename a directory ?
[11:41] <knewon> new7744:  ok not sure where you see your pivate messages then
[11:41] <knewon> new7744:  maybe you should re-install a non oem version of ubuntu
[11:41] <timbo_> im off now, dinner
[11:41] <knewon> i'm not familiar with this "oem" version
[11:41] <Tarsinion1> ardchoille: man rename is not giving any options this time ;-)
[11:41] <bright_fame> Tarsinion1: on the command line: mv <oldname> <newname>
[11:42] <xircx> hmm ok
[11:42] <new7744> oem is one of three install options, text, oem or server.
[11:42] <Ali_ix> hi armin390
[11:42] <Tominator> does anybod know how to get my prism 2.5 card working?
[11:42] <Tarsinion1> bright_fame .. cool thanks :-)
[11:42] <gordonjcp> Tarsinion1: from the command line?
[11:42] <ardchoille> Tarsinion1: To rename a file, use mv:  mv fileoldname filenewname
[11:42] <armin390> Ali_ix: hi :D
[11:42] <new7744> all oem does is creates an account called oem.  oem sets up everything and then deletes itself.
[11:42] <gordonjcp> ah, beaten to it
[11:42] <knewon> new7744: well you'll need to figure out how to access the users-admin program
[11:43] <new7744> knewon: that's what I thought.  it could also be that the sudoers list only contains oem.  as oem is deleted, there's noone with the rights to run sudo.  does that make sense?
[11:46] <knewon> new7744: i've done a quick search and apparently if you're not in the admin group you don't ahve access to sudo
[11:46] <knewon> LOL
[11:47] <knewon> new7744: what you could do is boot with the cd
[11:47] <knewon> and add yourself to that group
[11:47] <knewon> with
[11:47] <knewon> pico /etc/group
[11:47] <knewon> so that's why you're having trouble, you're absolutely right
[11:47] <new7744> Ithought there'd be a way around it.  how do I do that?
[11:47] <knewon> new: you need root access
[11:48] <knewon> unless you changed your root password or login as oem
[11:48] <knewon> you wont be able to do it
[11:48] <knewon> can you log out and login with oem?
[11:48] <new7744> no.  oem was deleted - as ubuntu recommended i do!?!?!?
[11:48] <knewon> LOL
[11:48] <knewon> ok
[11:48] <knewon> then you need to boot with the cd
[11:48] <knewon> and change /etc/group
[11:48] <knewon> add your username instead of oem in the admin line
[11:49] <new7744> ok, that's all?
[11:49] <knewon> ie: change oem for admin
[11:49] <knewon> yes, then you should have access to sudo when your're logged in as media
[11:49] <predaeus> How can I add and run a bash script to the Applications menu? I tried full path to script. Full path to script and console mode. Full path to script with sh in front and console mode. None do work. There is only a console popping up when choosing console mode.
[11:49] <knewon> new: you need to boot with the cd and have access to a root shell
[11:50] <knewon> try it
[11:50] <xircx> o.O
[11:50] <new7744> knewon: you're a legend.  how do I get access to a root shell?
[11:50] <knewon> new: just boot with the cd, you should have options there... or your might even have option in your boot menu without the cd... you have to try it
[11:50] <knewon> or go to google.com you'll find more infos
[11:51] <new7744> knewon.  thanks for the info again.

[11:51] <bright_fame> new7744: have you tried just rebooting into safe mode?
[11:51] <knewon> no problem
[11:51] <new7744> I access my linux box via a vnc connection.  I don't see the boot :)
[11:51] <bright_fame> there should be an option to boot into safe or recovery mode when ubuntu first boots
[11:51] <knewon> new7744: the only thing important here is that you have access to modify the /etc/group file
[11:52] <bright_fame> :s
[11:52] <knewon> how you do it, i don't care
[11:52] <livenicely> hello
[11:52] <livenicely> i have 60 gb free in my hard and i have ubuntu 6.06lts. i want to used this space as 4 drives of 15 gb like in xp 15gb D 15gb E etc. How i can do this in ubuntu i mean which file system and how to mount it like /mnt/C or /media/D etc. Thanks
[11:52] <knewon> bright_fame might have the easiest way right here
[11:52] <new7744> ok.  thanks for your time.  I'm about to logoff to give it a try.
[11:53] <predaeus> Nevermind, actually the Applications menu entry seemed to work. Might be a problem with paths.
[11:53] <knewon> good luck
[11:53] <knewon> well
[11:53] <new7744> :) bye
[11:53] <bright_fame> bb
[11:53] <knewon> i'm still looking for help with my ntfs :)
[11:53] <knewon> hey guys, i'm having trouble to install ntfs-config with dapper and apt-get, my universal repositories are enabled, what should I look for?
[11:53] <Tarsinion1> how do i copy a directory ^^ cp test /var/www/ gives an error :(
[11:54] <bright_fame> livenicely: gnome partition editior could be the best way, ever used it before?
[11:54] <frandavid100> hi
[11:54] <knewon> Tarsinion1: :does it say permission denied?
[11:55] <frandavid100> I just installed mldonkey but I can't find the way to launch it, can someone give me a hand?
[11:55] <Tarsinion1> knewon: cp: omitting directory `test/'
[11:55] <frandavid100> I can launch the GUI, but it doesn't do anything
[11:56] <protocol1> Im just going to use part of the free space
[11:56] <knewon> Tarsinion1: try cp -r
[11:57] <protocol1> when I try and do manual for some reason it keeps crashing on me
[11:57] <Tarsinion1> knewon: great, works!
[11:57] <Tarsinion1> knewon: what does -r do ?
[11:57] <mneptok> frandavid100: sudo apt-get install amule
[11:57] <knewon> Tarsinion1: -r is the recursive flags... for more info do 'man cp'
[11:57] <protocol1> I can always resize Im guessing
[11:57] <tle> hello everyone, can some1 tell me how to remove liblaunchpad-integrarion w/o affecting all GNOME programs?
[11:58] <bright_fame> protocol1: yep should be possible provided space is enough to install to to begin with
[11:58] <knewon> well well well
[11:58] <Jumbola> !automatix
[11:58] <knewon> last try
[11:58] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[11:58] <knewon> hey guys, i'm having trouble to install ntfs-config with dapper and apt-get, my universal repositories are enabled, what should I look for?
[11:58] <Jumbola> !automatix2
[11:59] <mneptok> Autamatix is the devil
[11:59] <Jumbola> mneptok: maybe..
[11:59] <knewon> Tarsinion1: when you're having trouble like that, try google.com with your error, you should find someone who had the same problem you had and the fix
[11:59] <bright_fame> knewon: what errors do you get?
[11:59] <akIra> hi there
[11:59] <Tarsinion1> knewon: yes you are right ;-)
[11:59] <knewon> bright_fame: it just doens't find the package
[12:00] <mneptok> Jumbola: definitely :)
[12:00] <akIra> i  have a amilo notebook with a broadcom wlan-chipset. is the only way to use the chip with ndiswrapper ?
[12:01] <tle> hello everyone, can some1 tell me how to remove liblaunchpad-integrarion w/o affecting all GNOME programs?
[12:01] <Yodude> hey i have a little question: i have a friend who want to use ubuntu but doesn't have a good internet connection
[12:01] <Yodude> so if i backup my /var/cache/apt directory and give it to him will he be able to install it software correctly without problems
[12:01] <Yodude> ?
[12:02] <protocol1> I might have to load 6.10 and upgrade
[12:02] <protocol1> grrr
[12:03] <bright_fame> (not that i know an thing about ntfs :P)
[12:03] <bright_fame> tried it with aptitude?
[12:03] <bright_fame> !WorksForMe|bright_fame
[12:03] <lineD> Does Feisty have all the window effects?
[12:04] <xircx> wheres a good linux driver site?
[12:04] <mneptok> Yodude: investigate apt-cacher
[12:04] <bright_fame> !WorksForMe|bright_fame
[12:04] <protocol1> lineD, yeah they are quite nice too
[12:04] <Yodude> mneptok: i'll google it
[12:04] <mneptok> Yodude: perfect. that's the tool you want.
[12:04] <protocol1> lineD, my ATI support is awesome
[12:06] <Factory> How bout this: will flash EVER have mic support in linux?
[12:06] <lineD> cooo good to know .. some kind people have put together drivers for the 360 on an Gentoo disc. I dont have a great PC and was given a broken 360 that i managed to get exchanged.
[12:06] <lineD> Im wondering what all i would need to replace on the powerpc distro
[12:06] <Amorgos> hi, i was hoping someone could help... I've managed to connect my USB modem to my isp (as it seems like everything has succeeded in /var/log/messages) but I can't ping an outside server or connect to apt-get update!
[12:07] <Factory> amorgo: is it a pppoe or a cable modem
[12:07] <lineD> Should be to much too it, eh?
[12:07] <Amorgos> pppoa usb adsl
[12:07] <lineD> Should'nt
[12:07] <Ademan> what svn GUIs do you guys use?
[12:08] <lineD> i know the vmlinuz bootloader
[12:08] <Factory> Amorgos, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_Broadband_ADSL.2FPPPoE_Client_.28RP-PPPoE.29
[12:08] <aussieman> anyone have any ideas when wifi and feisty might work easy?
[12:09] <Amorgos> Factory: I've managed to get the modem to successfully connect... but i can't ping any outside IP
[12:09] <Factory> Amorgos, Well then that's not a very successful connect, is it
[12:10] <Yodude> mneptok: there is one problem, it's that i can't connect thwe two computers with a LAN cable
[12:10] <Amorgos> Factory: /sbin/ifconfig reports a ppp0 new ip and /var/log/messages reports a successfull connect!
[12:10] <Soliko> hi,
[12:10] <Factory> Amorgos, If you can't PING, there is something _very_ wrong.
[12:10] <Factory> The first place to check would be your physical connection
[12:10] <Factory> make sure your wires aren't bad, your modem isn't bad, ect.
[12:11] <Yodude> mneptok: i was thinking to backup the cache directoy and insert the dioc into his PC, then have synaptic add the packages on it which will overwrite the list, then he'll be able to add them without downloading, will this work?
[12:11] <Amorgos> Factory: the connection is working perfectly on my fedora machine and windows
[12:11] <Factory> Ok so you are behind a router then?
[12:11] <Amorgos> nope
[12:11] <Factory> What is your home network topology, Amorgos
[12:11] <mneptok> Yodude: it might, but it's in no way guranteed. does your friend's machine not have a NIC?
[12:12] <Amorgos> Factory: a simple ethernet LAN
[12:12] <Soliko> I am trying to install telnet server but I can't find the right package in apt-get...
[12:12] <Factory> I realize, amorgos, but if you're not behind a router, what are you using? a switch, a hub, ect
[12:12] <Yodude> mneptok: what's a NIC?
[12:12] <Fujitsu> Soliko: Don't install a telnet server... Use openssh-server instead.
[12:12] <Factory> Yodude, Network Interface Card
[12:12] <mneptok> Yodude: network interface card
[12:13] <Yodude> mneptok: yes but his house IS kinda 15 block away lol
[12:13] <Soliko> I know and I did but I am in the same subnet so I don't need ssh
[12:13] <Amorgos> Factory: i have a switch yes... but thats only to connect a few machines together. I'm attempting to use this ubuntu-server to create a router for the rest of the machines. This is a USB Modem im trying to connect
[12:13] <Yodude> and he won't appreciate bringing his PC all over to my house just to install sofwtare, this will give such a bad image about ubuntu
[12:13] <Factory> Ah, ok Amorgos  I see
[12:13] <mneptok> Yodude: you install apt-cacher. you update and cache the results. you take your machine to his house and tell his apt instance to use your cache.
[12:14] <Factory> Well then my second question is have you set up your ip address correctly on the ubuntu server
[12:14] <mneptok> Yodude: how does that give a bad impression of Ubuntu? XPSP2 was HUGE. and you had to download it.
[12:14] <Yodude> i'll think about it
[12:14] <Factory> and have you set the dns address that the server uses correctly
[12:14] <Amorgos> Factory: I have a local IP of 192.168.1.50, and im pointing towards my isp's DNS
[12:15] <bright_fame> Soliko: should be called telnetd i think
[12:15] <Fujitsu> Yodude: There's a tool called aptoncd to do that.
[12:15] <Amorgos> Factory: but i can't ping the DNS's :/
[12:15] <mneptok> Yodude: *every* OS wants to update over the network. it's not like Ubuntu is doing something differently.
[12:15] <Factory> Amorgos, I see
[12:15] <Fujitsu> Soliko: Use SSH anyway, it's vastly superior...
[12:15] <Yodude> mneptok: no i didn't mean it that way, i mean he would just say "if i have to go trhough all this trouble just to get some programs for linux than i don't want to use linux anyways"
[12:15] <Soliko> ok thanks
[12:15] <Yodude> mneptok: i live in lebanon, it's kinda an exception here, no one has a good connection
[12:15] <Factory> Amorgos, Well usually an interface like the router has an ip address as the first available one i the range, so just try something as simple as that
[12:16] <Factory> Amorgos, Unless your subnetting, then you did that correctly =)
[12:16] <Yodude> mneptok: the majority of people only get 7 kB per second download
[12:16] <mneptok> Yodude: if i have to download half a gig of XPsp2 just to keep my machine from belonging to Russian spammers, i'll use Linux.
[12:16] <Factory> Amorgos, And you're saying you CAN ping the DNS from other computers that are currently behind the ubuntu server? this part I'm not quite clear on
[12:16] <Yodude> you're right
[12:16] <chable> Feisty crashed at boot
[12:16] <Yodude> but the connection we have is to blame
[12:16] <crocd> hi guys I am having an issue with dapper on a my laptop. I am getting a dpkg: statoverride file is missing final newline when I try to apt-get upgrade
[12:16] <chable> stoopid JMicron
[12:16] <Amorgos> Factory: I cannot ping my isp's DNS servers
[12:17] <mneptok> Yodude: Lebanon. allahu astigfhair! you have bigger problems than downloading! ;)
[12:17] <Yodude> if he had a good connection, lol he would SO be lioving in heaving using ubuntu
[12:17] <Yodude> mneptok: lol
[12:17] <Yodude> mneptok: yes but we have to live even under bad politics
[12:18] <mneptok> Yodude: i'm from the USA. i know this song. ;)
[12:18] <Factory> And I say if you can't ping from the router (ubuntu) which is in front of the other computers that can't ping the DNS, somehow the modem wasn't set up correctly.
[12:18] <_Titatovenaar_>  how do i set an icon for a certain file type?
[12:18] <Factory> I mean, unless you can think of any other reason, that seems to be the only logical answer.
[12:19] <Yodude> anyway it's a good idea to have a tool for this to spread ubuntu in develloping countries
[12:19] <Yodude> it would be a great leap ahead of windows
[12:19] <Yodude> after all ubuntu is for EVERYBODY no?
[12:27] <Amorgos> Factory: I'm sure something isn't setup correctly, its just weird to me that /var/log/messages reports a successfull authenticated connection and the adsl line is up
[12:27] <Yodude> i dound it! AptonCd uis what i need
[12:27] <Amorgos> Factory: ppp0 is given an ip
[12:27] <Yodude> it appears ubuntu has pleased me again
[12:27] <Yodude> found it finally!
[12:27] <rambo3> Yodude , no thats why there are ubuntu flawors
[12:27] <mneptok> Yodude: bismillah!
[12:27] <Factory> Amorgos, Well hey man, beats me =). If no one else knows try another server or something. Sorry/
[12:27] <Amorgos> ok hanks Factory
[12:27] <Yodude> mneptok: so you speak arabic?> where are you from?
[12:27] <Yodude> anyway i knew some devs would surely have tought of this, AptonCD is excellent
[12:27] <mneptok> Yodude: from the USA, now in Canada. i only speak enough Arabic to be respectful to Muslims, find food, sleep under a roof, and use a toilet. ;)
[12:27] <hnsn> hello friends!

[12:42] <Ind[y] > Sorry, the second one was typo.
[12:44] <MarkCh> i am currently running feisty and anytime i run a wine application or even just winecfg, X restarts.
[12:44] <MarkCh> how can i run my wine applications well again?
[12:46] <ubuntura> why the visual basic 6 softwrae dont work with wine ?!
[12:46] <inoex135> eh when feasty will be launched?
[12:46] <burepe> To burn an .iso in ubuntu do I just do it as a data cd?
[12:47] <Terrasque> burepe: right click, burn iso
[12:47] <burepe> thanks
[12:47] <Ind[y] > Which application can do all of: Play music, Videos, DVDs.
[12:47] <Ind[y] > Totem?
[12:47] <inoex135> #cakephp
[12:49] <tapio> My knowledge of wlan is very limited. But at work I couldn't get wlan with ubuntu 6.10 because they used "keyindex 2" (Thats what they told me, anyways) - Does the new ubuntu support this?
[12:50] <mneptok> what is "keyindex2?"
[12:50] <mneptok> WPA/WPA2?
[12:52] <barata> equifax leaves a trail in my /etc/ssl/cert folder!! what the FUCK!!
[12:52] <barata> is that normal .... American linux user who had ever visited equifax website ... can you check your /etc/ssl/certs folder?
[12:52] <PriceChild> !ohmy | barata
[12:52] <mneptok> barata: please watch the language
[12:52] <ubotu> barata: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[12:52] <Ind[y] > Which application can do all of: Play music, Videos, DVDs? Totem?
[12:53] <barata> I dont know ... I was requesting my free annual credit-report I believe
[12:53] <barata> and what the heck all this trail in my /etc/ssl/cert
[12:53] <mneptok> barata: there are Equifax certs in the default install
[12:54] <mneptok> barata: you can't get those certs from surfing
[12:54] <mneptok> (you don't have write privs to /etc/ssl/certs)
[12:55] <Ind[y] > Which application can do all of: Play music, Videos, DVDs? Totem?
 barata: you can't get those certs from surfing --> how did I get it?
[12:55] <osfameron> yup, and vlc
[12:55] <barata> ubuntu put it there?
[12:55] <Ind[y] > Please, somebody answer.
[12:55] <Ind[y] > osfameron: thx
[12:55] <predaeus> Which files says what Application menu entry in Gnome belongs into what sub menu?
[12:55] <stone123_> barata, what?
[12:56] <Ind[y] > barata: it is there from installation
[12:56] <mneptok> 06:53 < mneptok> barata: there are Equifax certs in the default install
[12:56] <Terrasque> Ind[y] : vlc, totem, xine, mplayer
[12:56] <ubuntura> Ind[y]  xine
[12:56] <barata> what for is that?
[12:56] <Ind[y] > Which do you recommmend?
[12:56] <barata> DRM?
[12:56] <Terrasque> Ind[y] : depends on use
[12:56] <Ind[y] > I want the most small, smart and not ram/cpu consuming.
[12:57] <arejay> anyone know how to specify a port number for sshfs in /etc/fstab
[12:57] <osfameron> Ind[y] : I think I'd recommend vlc as it is slightly less ugly and doesn't crash too much for me.  But all of them are good.  Totem comes installed by default on ubuntu so try that first.
[12:57] <mneptok> barata: if you think SSL certs provide DRM then wy guess is that my explanation will not help you much ;)
[12:57] <Ind[y] > osfameron: kk
[12:57] <Terrasque> Ind[y] : mplayer, ususally, then. but it can be hairy if you're new to linux
[12:57] <baktaah> Where should I install Wine, from their website or from the rep?
[12:57] <mneptok> baktaah: always from repos

[12:58] <stone123_> bara SSL are files contaning priv/public keys to encript /decript messages over public acess area such as Internet
[12:58] <mneptok> barata: yes you do.
[12:58] <barata> what for? I dont need to connect to anybody
[12:58] <baktaah> mneptok however on their website they say that the repos isnt updated?
[12:58] <barata> you mean that https automatically goes to ssl?
[12:58] <stone123_> barata, https:// is SSL
[12:58] <mneptok> barata: you don't need secure connections to web sites? ever? not even banking sites?

[01:30] <IdleOne> Shamrock_hh, had to ask

[01:30] <jrib> t3g: there are actually 2 identical mails.  Maybe your spam filter is blocking it?

[01:31] <willverine> hi, if i wanted to find all the packages that depend on kmail.. does anybody know how to do that?
[01:32] <jrib> willverine: apt-cache rdepends kmail
[01:32] <Ali_ix> willverine: use apt-get ot aptitude
[01:32] <willverine> jrib, tx :)
[01:33] <t3g> jrib: I've just checked, and it's not the case. Could you please send a blank reply to the list so I can see if I will at least receive the answers? (or tell me if there's already some replies?
[01:34] <predaeus> t3g, did you set the mailing list on receiving digests? if so you might need to wait for more mails to accumulate before you will receive the package.
[01:34] <FordCapri> i get this message when i start mysqld
[01:34] <FordCapri>  Checking for corrupt, not cleanly closed and upgrade needing tables.
[01:34] <t3g> predaeus: No, I checked that too
[01:34] <FordCapri> does this mean my database is corrupt?
[01:35] <ubuntura> what is activeX and how i can install software using activex (in the web)
[01:35] <jrib> t3g: sent, give it a few minutes I guess
[01:35] <Ali_ix> ubuntura: activeX is a MicroSoft products and works only in InternetExplorer
[01:35] <predaeus> FordCapri, not yet, it just tells you that it is checking whether there are corrupt entries.
[01:36] <oxygenws> ubuntura: activeX is a micro$oft protocol and you cannot use it in other OSes and other browsers!!
[01:36] <t3g> I also checked "Receive your own posts to the list?" and it's on "Yes"
[01:36] <t3g> jrib: thanks, I'll check
[01:36] <SoftIce> Hi a default install of MySQL where is the MySQL lib dir located and the MySQL inc dir ?
[01:37] <ubuntura> Ali but what is the programming language of him
[01:37] <ubuntura> ??
[01:38] <stone123_> SoftIce, use locate and grep
[01:38] <Ali_ix> ubuntura: it might be VisualBasic
[01:38] <ubuntura> and no thing like activex is for linux
[01:38] <stone123_> there is mozilla one
[01:38] <ubuntura> but in linux the flash player will be installed automatic like activex how ???
[01:39] <oxygenws> ubuntura: activeX is for IE, you can use extensions of firefox (mozilla framework)
[01:39] <Ali_ix> ubuntura: you can use XUL
[01:39] <ubuntura> i want to install some software from my website automatic to the visior pc
[01:40] <Ali_ix> ubuntura: nothng can be done automatically! user must accept it.

[01:43] <hypn0> why is the offtopic, ubuntu-offtopic :-/ and not just offtopic :-)
[01:44] <LadyNikon> hypn0: because every help channel has an off topic

[01:47] <CoRnJuLiOx> ok, i'm having issues w/xfce. whenever i log out and log back in, the background wallpaper is missing along w/the icons and i can't get them to show up until I head for Settings->Desktop and check the box that says "allow xfce to manage the desktop" (which is unchecked,but shouldn't be), and whats more, it seems to randomly switch between nautilus and thunar as the default file manager, but i want it to stick to thunar. any ideas?
[01:47] <jrib> t3g: I think gmail may skip the inbox for mail coming from yourself
[01:47] <t3g> jrib: it seems to be a gmail problem. I send emails with thunderbird, using gmail smtp
[01:47] <t3g> jrib: so when I dl message with thunderbird, gmail blocks my message that has been resent by the list
[01:48] <t3g> jrib: it didn't use to behave like that.

[02:08] <StoneNote> vlt, gksu services-admin and disable RAID (mdamd  & mdamd-raid)
[02:08] <jatt> MrStein: I think it works if you use VNC to connect to the machine you want to take the screenshot and then you take a screenshot of the VNC window. Yes it sucks :(.
[02:08] <WisH> i have mounted my other HDD on /mnt but it says i cannot view the contents.how can set as owner my username?

[02:11] <sK0l> Hi fellas, i gotta a question.... how can use just the icons of rox-filer, i dont wanna it setting up my wallpapers, but when i run it, it comes replacing the wallpaper i've set with the Esetroot... does any1 know?
[02:12] <MrStein> jatt: 10x, it's better than nothing.
[02:12] <coopster> sK0l, if rox-filer is designed to be a program that manages wallpapers, you're probably easiest off just setting your wallpaper in it, or using a difference file manager
[02:12] <StoneNote> WisH, let's say the uid for my userid is 1001, when I issue the mount I would add uid=1001 in the command. for example, I use this to mount my mp3 player to my users uid: mount -t vfat -o rw,nosuid,nodev,quiet,shortname=mixed,uid=1001,gid=100,umask=077,iocharset=utf8 /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbmp3a
[02:13] <WisH> StoneNote i type mount and i get this: /dev/hdb1 on /mnt type ntfs (rw)
[02:13] <WisH> is it ok ?
[02:13] <coopster> sK0l, i'd run 'man rox-filer' and search the manual for information about how to disable the wallpaper manager (use /wallpaper to search for that word)
[02:14] <roland_> hello, i think my dist-upgrade has entered a never ending loop.. its setting up.... <x> things for several hours now
[02:14] <coopster> roland_, it actually says 'setting up <x>' ?
[02:14] <roland_> no, <x> is replaced by package-name
[02:14] <sK0l> coopster,  i used to set my wallpapers with that rox, but my conky doesnt get tranparency anymore, it gets just when i set using the esetroot
[02:14] <sK0l> so weird
[02:15] <StoneNote> WisH, I don't know.  you tell me, is it working for you?
[02:15] <roland_> the upgrades are a real pain
[02:15] <roland_> not to download
[02:15] <roland_> but to install
[02:15] <roland_> it takes twice the time to download to install the packages here
[02:15] <WisH> StoneNote when i type  chown wish(my username) /mnt i get this:  chown: changing ownership of `/mnt': Read-only file system
[02:16] <coopster> roland_, unless it starts repeating package names, it's probably just a big upgrade.  as far as install speed goes, is it a slow computer/little RAM/lots of things running?
[02:16] <gatti> hey all
[02:17] <StoneNote> WisH, I don't have ntfs so I can't give you any advice on attaching to the windows share.  I think the bot has a link to some tutorials
[02:17] <roland_> coopster: i remember it being on gnome packages about 1 hour ago and now its still setting up gnome packages.. yes its a very slow box 700mhz 128 ram upgrading to 6.10 now.. i've been all the way from installing 5.04 to upgrading to 5.10 and then 6.06 and noow 6.10

[02:17] <ubotu> WisH: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[02:17] <WisH> thx a lot StoneNote
[02:17] <StoneNote> !ntfs-3g | WisH
[02:17] <ubotu> WisH: 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.

[02:18] <S00> keep in the loop
[02:18] <coopster> roland_, not much you can do then.  provided you have a swap space set up, and that should be automatic, it's running as best it can
[02:18] <roland_> yea i have swap
[02:18] <roland_> i hope this nightmare will end soon
[02:19] <coopster> roland_, i just finished tweaking my slow laptop to run ubuntu pretty fast, if you're running gnome/kde with the defaults, there may be some things you can do to speed it up, at the cost of user-friendlyness
[02:19] <roland_> its extremely unresponsive
[02:19] <roland_> to me
[02:19] <roland_> coopster: yea i know
[02:19] <roland_> will do maybe after i finish upgrade
[02:19] <Ind[y] > How can I enable console framebuffer support (higher console resolution)?
[02:19] <coopster> Ind[y] , google for kernel 'vga='
[02:20] <Ind[y] > coopster: only the parameter is neeed?
[02:20] <roland_> ubuntu kernel has fbdev support compiled in  ?
[02:20] <coopster> i believe so
[02:20] <Ind[y] > coopster: no kernel changes?
[02:20] <coopster> it 'just worked' on mine, but i can make no promises
[02:21] <coopster> Ind[y] , i would just go into the grub menu when you boot, his ESC to get there if you need, highlight your default, hit e, and change the kernel line
[02:21] <roland_> its now at package usplash
[02:21] <tuskernini> is there a channel for kino? have some gscanbus issues in kino
[02:21] <coopster> Ind[y] , add vga=1024x780 (or whatever) and give it a shot.  if it doesnt work it won't hurt anything.
[02:22] <coopster> tuskernini, no clue, i'd look at the kino homepage, or get the channel list, or try #kino
[02:22] <tuskernini> coopster, will try.. thank you
[02:22] <Ind[y] > coopster: ok. thanks :)
[02:22] <NekoKun> how to fix grub? The boot can't find grub... just loads windows
[02:23] <coopster> roland_,  if you do get around to tweaking, i had some success running fluxbox as a WM, using sysv-rc-conf to remove all the unneeded things that start at boot time, and removing kdm/gdm
[02:23] <coopster> !grub |nekokun
[02:23] <ubotu> nekokun: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[02:23] <tuskernini> coopster, is there a way to | grep kino, a /list command?
[02:23] <coopster> tuskernini, most IRC clients let you search the channel list, i knox xIRC does
[02:23] <coopster> xchat, rather
[02:24] <WisH> how can i change the ownership of a folder?
[02:24] <roland_> coopster: i cant run fluxbox, i need usability  and user friendly environment because who will use it has only used windows
[02:24] <Ali_ix> WisH: try chown command
[02:24] <tuskernini> coopster, i have that.. just thought there might be a quicker way
[02:24] <coopster> roland_, ah, that's no good then
[02:24] <Ali_ix> chown user:group /folder/

[02:25] <coopster> vieirar, in my experience vmware is the best thing out there right now.  there's a free vmplayer now, and a HOWTO out there on using qemu to make a free image for it

[02:27] <chesmond> @Belboz shoot it :)
[02:27] <coopster> niru, you can use any version, i'd go with 6.10.  the standard install cd will do fine, or you can use the alternative install cd to customize what gets installed
[02:27] <WisH> stone123_  i did it but owner is still root...

[02:29] <niru> coopster, any idea where can I get help
[02:29] <Ali_ix> WisH: if you continue in channel you may get better answer by communityy ;)
[02:29] <gatti> can somebody please help me; i installed a package using the GDEBI; it was Ardour2; but it is not in the application menu. how can i make it run?
[02:29] <coopster> niru, i'd google for it, that's your best bet
[02:29] <chesmond> @melon: yes you can config this in the gconf editor...  somewhere in the desktop category a checkbox
[02:29] <mjr> Ben, Ubuntu includes gnupg, the free PGP replacement by default.
[02:29] <coopster> melon, change the name of the launcher to " " ?

[02:31] <Ben> mjr, Cool beans. It seems to have a man page. Thanks for your help.
[02:31] <melon> chesmond: thanks.. i'll look into it :)
[02:31] <WisH> mneptok to chown of /mnt folder from root to wish (my username) so i can mount hdb1 in there
[02:31] <coopster> niru, don't think so, you can hang around and check if anyone else here has done that.
[02:31] <chesmond> np :)
[02:31] <coopster> thrax, what error are you getting
[02:31] <Ks_Jeppe> heys guys :) can anyone help me out with a network issue, my newly installed ubuntu wont go on the internet at all for some reason, it works on the live cd tho
[02:31] <Ali_ix> WisH: try suod chown wish:wish /mnt
[02:31] <coopster> gah, helping people is addictive.  i have work that needs doing :-p
[02:32] <thrax> X is not configured properly
[02:32] <Ali_ix> *sudo
[02:32] <mneptok> WisH: you should not mount things as a user. what is the goal? to have hdb1 auto-mount so you can read it at boot?
[02:32] <coopster> thrax, when X crashes, what does it say?
[02:32] <mjr> Ben, righto. Then just follow instructions to generate keys and tell Evolution that you want to use it and you should be good to go :)
[02:32] <WisH> mneptok  i dont have it auto mount.never did
[02:32] <mneptok> WisH: do you want it to?
[02:32] <NekoKun> what's the command to read the hd's c/h/s?
[02:32] <thrax> i can fix it with "sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-arbg-glx-visuals"
[02:32] <WisH> Ali_ix still at properties it stats owner root
[02:33] <thrax> but it looses it every reboot
[02:33] <WisH> mneptok i just want to mount my HDB1 so i can have my files;/
[02:33] <thrax> i dont know the exact error (cause im in gnome now :P)
[02:33] <coopster> thrax, has it always been broken, or did you just upgrade the linux package?
[02:33] <mneptok> WisH: what format is the partition?
[02:33] <WisH> ntfs
[02:33] <thrax> always (only put ubuntu on this pc last night)
[02:33] <WisH> i did that some months ago but i forgot how to
[02:34] <Ali_ix> lol
[02:34] <Ks_Jeppe> heys guys :) can anyone help me out with a network issue, my newly installed ubuntu wont go on the internet at all for some reason, it works on the live cd tho
[02:34] <mneptok> WisH: sudo mkdir /mnt/ntfs && sudo chown -R wish:wish /mnt/ntfs && sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt/ntfs
[02:34] <coopster> thrax, hrmm, i'm not sure about that.  i've had X die on me a bunch because of the nvidia driver.  try installing the nvidia-kernel, nvidia-glx, etc packages, also the linux-restricted-modules package.  then edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and make sure in the Device section for your card the driver is set to nvidia and not nv
[02:34] <Ali_ix> WisH: are you trying to change owner on a ntfs driver using linux shell?
[02:35] <chesmond> @Ks_Jeppe:  i would like to help you but i am no network pro. maybe there are some in here. could you specify your prob?
[02:35] <gatti> anybody? Where can i find and run a package installed with Gdebi?
[02:35] <Ali_ix> WisH: as mneptok said remount may help
[02:35] <Belboz99> anybody know what a broken pipe is in apt?
[02:35] <thrax> coopster, done all that :(
[02:35] <chesmond> @gatti: tried to look for Gdebi in Synaptic?
[02:35] <coopster> Ks_Jeppe, try googling for ubuntu + your network card's name, or boot with the livecd, run lsmod, record the name of modules it gives you, then see which ones look like they have to do with your internet and don't run when the liveCD isn't used.
[02:36] <Belboz99> http://rafb.net/p/cYYcWb76.html
[02:36] <Troy> I'm confused.  According to a Ubuntu "how to" page, I'm to download a .rpm file.  I thought Ubuntu does not use .rpm?
[02:36] <WisH> mneptok i did all these and when i try to acc mnt/ntfs i get this: You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "ntfs".
[02:36] <Ks_Jeppe> chesmond, my problem is actually fairly simple: I can't gain access to anything on the internet atm... can't ping, cant use firefox etc...
[02:36] <coopster> thrax, use pastie and paste your xorg.confd
[02:36] <Ks_Jeppe> kk coopster :)
[02:36] <coopster> *xorg.conf
[02:36] <mneptok> WisH: sudo chown -R wish:wish /mnt/ntfs
[02:36] <thrax> Section "Device"
[02:36] <thrax>     Identifier     "NVIDIA Corporation NVIDIA Default Card"
[02:36] <thrax>     Driver         "nvidia"
[02:36] <thrax> EndSection
[02:36] <chesmond> what version of ubuntu do you have Ks_Jeppe?
[02:36] <coopster> don't paste here...
[02:36] <coopster> !pastie
[02:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pastie - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:36] <WisH> wow many stuff
[02:37] <thrax> sory dude, i need sleep more than i need this working.....
[02:37] <thrax> ill be back tomorrow night
[02:37] <thrax> lol
[02:37] <fneh> can anybody gimme a quick 101 on how to install a wg311 netgear wifi card on ubuntu? i.r clueless newbie
[02:37] <coopster> ::shrug::
[02:37] <thrax> thanks anyways
[02:37] <WisH> mneptok  and i have to do only the sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt/ntfs thing every time huh?
[02:37] <coopster> np
[02:37] <mneptok> WisH: after this, should be
[02:37] <Ks_Jeppe> chesmond, edgy
[02:37] <chesmond> @KS_Jeppe: is there Network Manager running on your ubuntu version?
[02:37] <mneptok> WisH: unless you auto-mount it in fstab
[02:37] <elodsson> hi
[02:38] <WisH> and how do i do that mneptok ?
[02:38] <Ks_Jeppe> no idea chesmond, how do i check?
[02:38] <gatti> Fneh; theres isnt really a quick 101; goto the forums, search how to wg311 and you should find something
[02:38] <mneptok> WisH: better idea is to make a giant ext3 partition for /home and use that for Windows' data, too. http://fs-driver.org
[02:38] <gatti> it took me 3 days to install my bcm4306!
[02:38] <Ali_ix> WisH: look in /etc/fstab file
[02:39] <chesmond> iirc edgy runs with the old version of network manager. you can check it if you rightclick your gnome panel and add an icon "network manager" or similar
[02:39] <mneptok> WisH: Google for "ntfs fstab ubuntu" and you'll find it.
[02:39] <fneh> gatti: yeh tried that...forums made me feel kinda incompetant, but ta newayz
[02:39] <chesmond> or you go into system->administration->network
[02:39] <mneptok> WisH: but i'd go the giant, shared ekt3 route. *shrug*
[02:39] <mneptok> *ext3
[02:40] <WisH> mneptok  ok. but now i try to access the mnt/ntfs but it still has owner root...thought it said it chowned it... can i paste u in pvt?
[02:40] <gatti> Chesmond: I already have Gdebi installed; My ardour2 package used it to install it self. But now i can't find where it was installed to, as it is not in the applications>sound location
[02:40] <anying> I'd like to setup a DNS service , how can I make it ? What should I install ?
[02:40] <chesmond> activate the network manager and check its config.... for example  Dhcp ...fixed ip and stuff
[02:40] <chesmond> @gatti: ah i see
[02:41] <chesmond> @gatti: usuall you can look for installed programs with the locate command in the terminal
[02:42] <t3g> I think I might have solved my problem with gmail - I just have to use my provider's smtp server to send mail. And to think I chosed that provider because he would let me send mail through gmail's :)
[02:42] <Ks_Jeppe> chesmond, added "Network Monitor", but when i open it, i only see lo in there... however, when i open system > admin > networking, i see eth1 and eth0 as active with addess: DHCP
[02:42] <sattii> what is the comand?
[02:42] <anying> I'd like to setup a DNS service , how can I make it ? What should I install ?

[02:43] <Ks_Jeppe> elodsson, i think #ubuntu-de is german
[02:43] <melon> chesmond: i've been in and out of gconf-editor and i didn't find what u suggested (am using dapper btw) - i'll go back to google with the extra info.. but if u know what i'm missing - i'd appreciate the push in the right direction

[02:44] <Ali_ix> elodsson: run Synaptic from administratio menu and select mark all upgrades from menus
[02:45] <chesmond> @KS_jeppe.  okay ethernet means it shoutl use eth0 or something or maybe the lo lanwrapper
[02:45] <elodsson> ok, i'Ll try itright away
[02:45] <Ali_ix> elodsson: you can slect openoffie packages in synaptic and mark them for update
[02:45] <Ali_ix> elodsson: you can also try it from command lien by apt-get command
[02:46] <elodsson> what do i write in the command line?
[02:46] <chesmond> KS_Jeppe: what does "iwconfig" say?
[02:46] <Ali_ix> apt-get install openoffice
[02:46] <elodsson> (there are a few thing in the synaptic"mark all upgrades", but none of them is openoffice
[02:46] <elodsson> )
[02:46] <ndlovu> quick question about cat: if I have split a backup into multiple files (using split), will cat backup.tar.gz* > backup.tar.gz put them back in the right order?
[02:46] <Ali_ix> elodsson: but i recoomend synaptic
[02:46] <Belboz99> hey, how do I fix a broken pipe in apt?
[02:47] <Ks_Jeppe> just a second chesmond, i had to reboot since my keyboard and mouse went dead :S no idea why
[02:47] <chesmond> ouch. okay np
[02:47] <elodsson> it doesn't work in a command line
[02:47] <Ali_ix> elodsson: try update-manager in command line, it tells you wether tehre is updates available or not
[02:48] <mneptok> ndlovu: did you split the .gz?
[02:48] <Ks_Jeppe> was messing with the net cable and tried to move it around, and that killed my usd keyboard and mouse lol :D
[02:48] <CoRnJuLiOx> ok, how do i figure out what desktop manager my system using right now??
[02:48] <elodsson> Ali_ix: i don't know how
[02:48] <ndlovu> mneptok, yup, using  split --bytes=650m -d bigfile smallfile
[02:49] <anying> who knows to configure the X to 3D like vista?
[02:49] <Ali_ix> elodsson: open synaptic - search openoffice - then right click on packages in result (which installed) and select mark for upgrade if available
[02:49] <bam79> Nevermind my question. I have to go to work. I'll try again this evening.
[02:49] <mneptok> ndlovu: cat will move ascending numeric > alpha
[02:49] <grapz> hey. anyone here that can help me with getting totem or mplayer to work in firefox ? i've tried both "mozilla-mplayer" and "totem-firefox", but none of them works.

[02:49] <elodsson> Ali_ix: ok, thanx
[02:50] <arch_> For streaming audio, what is the difference between Icecast and Icecast2? (or, is there a better way to get audio from my laptop to my desktop?)
[02:50] <chesmond> www.ubuntuusers.de ... helped me alot
[02:50] <anying> who knows to configure the X to 3D like vista?
[02:50] <arejay> arch: just use sshfs :)
[02:50] <Ks_Jeppe> chesmond, i hope there's an english version of that :D
[02:50] <chesmond> oh oops certainly
[02:50] <chesmond> www.ubuntu.com/wiki
[02:51] <Ks_Jeppe> kk, will try :)
[02:51] <Amaranth> arch_: you can go rhythmbox to rhythmbox with daap (avahi) if they're on the same LAN
[02:51] <ndlovu> mneptok, then it should do the right thing, since the first file is .bz00 and the last is .bz18
[02:51] <niru> which package is responsible for getting About-me option in preferences
[02:51] <chesmond> i hope it will help ya! :)
[02:51] <Pici> !beryl > anying (see the private message from ubotu)
[02:51] <Amaranth> arch_: just enable the daap plugin
[02:51] <mneptok> ndlovu: *nod*
[02:52] <ndlovu> mneptok, thanks :)
[02:52] <chesmond> ok bye all !
[02:52] <arch_> amaranth:  how? options within rythmbox, or do I need to install something?
[02:52] <fastbreak> I have tried to reconfigure xserver, but it crashes out of reconfiguring with the following xserver-xorg postinst warning: not updating /etc/x11/x; file has been customized  then the next line reads xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration file; backup in /etc/x11/xorg.conf.20070403195854 how can I fix this...besides using a hammer.
[02:52] <Amaranth> arch_: Edit->Plugins
[02:52] <Amaranth> fastbreak: it reconfigured it
[02:52] <xfqq> may anyone let me know how can I lock a xfce session, and resume it later ?
[02:52] <fastbreak> no, a gun is out as well
[02:53] <Amaranth> fastbreak: but why did you change /etc/X11/X? trying to get XGL working?
[02:53] <xfqq> lock a xfce sesion allow swtich to antoher user, and allow a later resume this session, please let me know how to do it ?
[02:53] <xfqq> in gnome, it looks like this is the default setted,
[02:53] <xfqq> but how to do it in xfce please ?
[02:53] <Amaranth> xfqq: I don't think XFCE can do that
[02:53] <arch_> Amaranth:  I don't see "daap" as an available plugin for Rythmbox
[02:53] <xfqq> Amaranth, why ?
[02:54] <Amaranth> xfqq: well, if you use gdm you can just run gdm-flexiserver to do "Switch User"
[02:54] <Amaranth> arch_: it's DAAP Music Sharing
[02:54] <Amaranth> been there since dapper at least
[02:54] <xfqq> Amaranth, yes, i am running gdm
[02:54] <fastbreak> I saw a customise startup app in the system folder and wanted to see what I could do with it....all it asked me for was my PW and then the resolution went from 1600 X 1280 to 640 x 480
[02:54] <Amaranth> xfqq: then you just want to run gdm-flexiserver
[02:54] <Amaranth> xfqq: it'll turn on the screensaver and load another gdm login for a new session
[02:54] <xfqq> Amaranth,  should I install something first ?
[02:55] <xfqq> Amaranth, no command called 'gdm-flexiserver' here.
[02:55] <Amaranth> oh, maybe that doesn't exist anymore
[02:55] <Amaranth> i think that doesn't exist anymore since gnome-screensaver does it now
[02:55] <Amaranth> so, uh, you have to use GNOME
[02:55] <Amaranth> or at least GNOME Screensaver instead of XScreensaver
[02:56] <Amaranth> which will pull in most of GNOME and load all those libraries into memory so at that point you might as well just use GNOME and get all the extra power
[02:56] <elodsson> Ali_ix:
[02:56] <arch_> Amaranth:  I only have 6 plugin options: (Last .fm, python console, ipod, lyrics, LIRC, art display).
[02:56] <elodsson> Ali_ix: there is nothing in the synaptic with Oo 2.1
[02:57] <xfqq> Amaranth, so xfce turn linux into a single user box ?
[02:57] <Amaranth> arch_: in that case i have no idea
[02:58] <Amaranth> xfqq: well, you could do some custom hackery to lock your session and start a new X server on a different VT with gdm
[02:58] <Amaranth> xfqq: But unless you want to do it manually XFCE won't do it
[02:58] <arch_> amaranth: thank you for trying
[02:58] <arch_> I will google plugins, see what I can turn up
[02:58] <xfqq> xflock4 can do the lock
[02:59] <xfqq> but just have no way to swtich to anotehr user.

[03:01] <redmonkey> lets say i installed an early alpha version of ubuntu in the past. do i automatically get it to stable through the updates or do i have to install the final version of ubuntu to really get the final version?
[03:01] <Amaranth> redmonkey: you can just upgrade through to the stable release of that version of ubuntu using synaptic
[03:02] <Amaranth> redmonkey: if you have no updates to get in synaptic you're running the stable version (unless it's feisty)

[03:08] <willverine> gnome-keyring is a program that keep password and other secrets for
[03:08] <willverine> users. It is run as a damon in the session, similar to ssh-agent, and
[03:08] <willverine> other applications locate it via an environment variable or a dbus.
[03:08] <willverine> The program can manage several keyrings, each with its own master
[03:08] <willverine> password, and there is also a session keyring which is never stored to
[03:08] <willverine> disk, but forgotten when the session ends.
[03:08] <willverine> The library libgnome-keyring is used by applications to integrate with
[03:08] <willverine> the gnome keyring system. However, at this point the library hasn't been
[03:08] <willverine> tested and used enought to consider the API to be publically
[03:08] <willverine> exposed. Therefore use of libgnome-keyring is at the moment limited to
[03:08] <willverine> internal use in the gnome desktop. However, we hope that the
[03:08] <willverine> gnome-keyring API will turn out useful and good, so that later it
[03:08] <willverine> can be made public for any application to use.

[03:15] <bronze_0_1> cd /etc/X11 ; find . -name "*conf"
[03:15] <linopil> bronze_0_1, tyvm. did you follow ? I cannot login to gnome only tty
[03:15] <Pici> roland_: use smbpasswd to add a password for your user, let me get the syntax for you
[03:15] <bronze_0_1> linopil: right - use the tty.
[03:15] <fastbreak> stone123_ when I boot the computer, i get tty...thats when I try to reconfigure it...but get the error
[03:15] <RoundyT1> linopil, can you by chance just open the gdm from the term?
[03:15] <baktaah> "ftp://sehei0...s/gamla.doc" cannot be moved because you do not have permissions to change it or its parent folder." <- How come I cant move around my files on my FTP server?
[03:15] <roland_> Pici: i shared a folder on my desktop (desktop of a regular ubuntu user)
[03:15] <bronze_0_1> linopil: the tty IS the Linux way. :-)
[03:15] <roland_> should i chown it
[03:15] <roland_> to samba user
[03:16] <elodsson_> who can kick people out?
[03:16] <bronze_0_1> linopil: if you do this you will earn your first jedi merit badge.
[03:16] <fewqe> hey, every time i boot i dont get into graphical mode unless i startx, anyone knows how to fix that?
[03:16] <bronze_0_1> elodsson_: ops
[03:16] <elodsson_> who is one?
[03:16] <Ali_ix> what is up?
[03:16] <Ali_ix> :d
[03:16] <bronze_0_1> elodsson_: varies from channel to channel. Why?
[03:16] <Pici> roland_: its `smbpasswd -a` to add a user for your user.  Then you can use your username and that password to access samba from a remote computer.
[03:16] <linopil> RoundyT1, gdm leads me to chooser ( i.e. network X  while I have to login locally
[03:16] <fastbreak> there are no ops
[03:16] <elodsson_> i registered my nick,
[03:17] <elodsson_> but now i can't use it
[03:17] <elodsson_> elodsson won't leave the channel
[03:17] <bronze_0_1> elodsson_: someone guessed your password/
[03:17] <bronze_0_1> ??
[03:17] <fastbreak> that only works on some irc networks
[03:17] <RoundyT1> linopil, why did you change it silly?! i'm not exactly sure where to look for that "conf" file :(
[03:17] <yellow_chicken> where do i put my dns entry?
[03:17] <elodsson_> i just made it up like 2 minutes ago
[03:17] <linopil> RoundyT1, you know ignorance
[03:18] <BlobbDob1> hey can someone help me, I posted this on the forums and it hasn't gotten any replies yet.

[03:18] <linopil> learning the hard way huh?
[03:18] <elodsson_> if someone could kick the nick elodsson out, maybe i could use it
[03:18] <RoundyT1> linopil, haha, it happens to the best of us. :-D
[03:18] <faeryNatsuki> hello
[03:18] <Ali_ix> elodsson_ just operators can do
[03:18] <linopil> anyway are you on gnome or kde now?

[03:18] <bimberi> !ghost | elodsson_

[03:18] <linopil> RoundyT1, ?
[03:18] <RoundyT1> I'm on Gnome
[03:18] <faeryNatsuki> I have a problem with hibernation... it worked before, but i does not work now :(
[03:18] <vlt> StoneNote: What files does `services-admin` change? Only the symlinks in "/etc/rc2.d/"?
[03:19] <fastbreak> elodsson they would have to crash out or quit...booting doesnt help therer
[03:19] <RoundyT1> more used to gnome, not really into Kde
[03:19] <bronze_0_1> elodsson_: did you get disconnected from the net about 22 minutes ago?
[03:19] <linopil> good RoundyT1
[03:19] <elodsson_> so.. i'm doomed? :)
[03:19] <bronze_0_1> elodsson_: did you get disconnected from the net about 22 minutes ago?
[03:19] <roland_> Pici : did a new password but i cant connect from windows it rejects my login info
[03:19] <faeryNatsuki> somebody here changed the partition table, then when i send my ubuntu to hibernation it sleeps, but when i awake it, the swap seems to be corrupted
[03:19] <fastbreak> yup
[03:19] <Pici> elodsson_: The other user... is you.
[03:19] <linopil> I found gnome less featured but more responsive
[03:19] <fastbreak> unless ....
[03:19] <RoundyT1> linopil, one sec i'm gonna try to look some answer up for you
[03:19] <vlt> StoneNote: That wouldn't explain why booting 2.6.17-10 works, but 2.6.17-11 not ...
[03:19] <elodsson_> don't keep track of time
[03:19] <Ali_ix> you didnt closed connection normaly and didnt logged off basically! :D
[03:19] <bronze_0_1> elodsson_: look in the mirror.
[03:20] <bronze_0_1> its your old process.
[03:20] <linopil> RoundyT1, ty
[03:20] <linopil> chooser vs greeter in login window
[03:20] <elodsson_> is there anything i can do now?
[03:20] <fastbreak> boot it
[03:20] <StoneNote> vlt, you're right it wouldn't. but you didn't mention that in the post I saw, and I don't read minds

[03:22] <BlobbDob1> fewqe: I have the same problem
[03:22] <RoundyT1> just let me know if you need any thing else
[03:22] <elodsson_> i think sooner or later it will "die"
[03:22] <roland_> where do i need to add a new user to acces samba share on my linux pc
[03:23] <roland_> whats the command
[03:23] <RoundyT1> BlobbDob1, did you and fewqe install the right disk?
[03:23] <sipior> fewqe: is gdm turned on in your services settings?
[03:23] <BlobbDob1> which disk? I installed the Alternate CD
[03:23] <RoundyT1> BlobbDob1, is gnome installed?
[03:23] <j3g> anyone know a way to get nxserver-free edition installed on feisty x64?
[03:23] <sipior> fewqe: System -> Administration -> Services
[03:23] <fewqe> how can i check if gdm is turned on?
[03:23] <RoundyT1> BlobbDob1, why the alt disk? what kind of system are you running?
[03:24] <sipior> fewqe: scroll down to gdm and make sure the box is checked
[03:24] <RoundyT1> fewqe, i think you can type "sudo /etc/init.d
[03:24] <BlobbDob1> I don't want GRUB overwriting the MBR
[03:24] <BlobbDob1> I already have another Boot menu system there
[03:24] <RoundyT1> fewqe, and then type "ls"
[03:24] <fewqe> yea gdm is marked
[03:24] <faeryNatsuki> hello
[03:25] <RoundyT1> BlobbDob1, ok cool....hm....i think you can actually install ubuntu and just say "no, don't install Grub" with a normal x86 disk
[03:25] <j3g> Package libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 is not installed... what package would provide this? anyone know ?
[03:25] <bimberi> roland_: /win 15
[03:25] <fewqe> sipior, it is checked
[03:25] <sipior> fewqe: make sure it is in /etc/rc2.d, should be a file called S13gdm
[03:25] <bimberi> !info libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2
[03:25] <ubotu> libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2: The GNU stdc++ library. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:2.95.4-24 (edgy), package size 321 kB, installed size 1352 kB
[03:25] <sipior> fewqe: the number may be different, however
[03:25] <RoundyT1> j3g, one sec...i'm gonna try to find out
[03:25] <freezey> i am looking for these packages and i cant figure out in the package manager which they are?  libc.so.6  libdl.so.2  libgcc_s.so.1 libm.so.6 libpthread.so.0 librt.so.1 libstdc++.so.5
[03:25] <RoundyT1> j3g, nvm haha.
[03:25] <bimberi> argh, sorry roland_, that was a typo
[03:26] <yunhual> I am having a problem when executing "make menuconfig" on my fresh extracted 2.6.20 kernel. make  *** [menuconfig]  Error 2
[03:26] <BlobbDob1> are you sure? http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/kb/article.php?279
[03:26] <bimberi> j3g: that is the package
[03:26] <j3g> RoundyT1: it's not present on feisty
[03:26] <faeryNatsuki> how can i know the UUID of one partition?
[03:26] <BlobbDob1> that says that it automatically installs grub.
[03:26] <BlobbDob1> I have grub installed but there is still no real reason why it can boot Recovery mode but not Normal mode
[03:26] <j3g> bimberi: and it has to be 32bit emulation I think ... it's for installing nxclient on feisty x64
[03:27] <BlobbDob1> btw, I have a much more detailed problem explanation on the forums if you want to skim through it and see my partition setup etc. thanks for all the help btw!
[03:27] <linopil> RoundyT1, tyvm

[03:28] <linopil> RoundyT1, one line in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom -> greeter=true, not chooser=true
[03:28] <sipior> fewqe: is the gdm file there?
[03:28] <bimberi> j3g: hm yes, it's i386 only
[03:28] <fewqe> yes
[03:29] <fewqe> its there i checked
[03:29] <RoundyT1> linopil, ??
[03:29] <linopil> RoundyT1, one line in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom -> greeter=true, not chooser=true
[03:29] <linopil> RoundyT1, tyvm
[03:29] <fewqe> what else should i check?
[03:29] <root> what is bitchx ??
[03:29] <smo> hi
[03:29] <faeryNatsuki> i know my question has a simple answer, i need to know the UUID of a new partition, and i does not have that UUID in my fstab file, but i ned to know the UID...
[03:29] <linopil> irc
[03:29] <RoundyT1> BlobbDob1, I think you can disable grub, really...let me check really quick
[03:29] <sipior> fewqe: difficult to diagnose further without log files
[03:30] <fewqe> how can i output log files for u?
[03:30] <smo> any idear why i can t see new mounted drives in nautilus i have to restart dbus and they appear???
[03:30] <sipior> fewqe: if you start gdm manually, does it come up normally? (sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start, from the console)
[03:30] <RoundyT1> BlobbDob1, that is....on install, you havn't been working on it for a long time have you? like saved files and stuff?
[03:30] <spanglesontoast> does anyone know how to share a wireless connection to the eth0
[03:30] <fewqe> yea everything is the same
[03:30] <BlobbDob1> nope
[03:31] <j3g> bimberi: it's i386 only meaning it can't be installed on x64?
[03:31] <BlobbDob1> i haven't really done anything much on it
[03:31] <b0xii> spanglesontoast: try using firestarter
[03:31] <RoundyT1> BlobbDob1, ok, so in my opinion, i MIGHT, recommend a new install. with a normal disk
[03:31] <j3g> RoundyT1: my universe rep is enabled
[03:31] <RoundyT1> x86 that is
[03:31] <sipior> fewqe: that's very strange, since it should be called when the system jumps to runlevel 2. don't suppose you changed the default runlevel?
[03:31] <smo> look with iptables spanglesontoast
[03:31] <linopil> http://www.bitchx.com/
[03:31] <fewqe> no.. i doubt it
[03:31] <RoundyT1> j3g, try asking it #ubuntu+1    that's weird did you do a "apt-get update"?
[03:32] <spanglesontoast> so theres no command that will just do it in one
[03:32] <linopil> http://www.bitchx.com/  root why not chg nick
[03:32] <BlobbDob1> righto, I'll maybe try the install on a virtual PC first and see if it gives the option for Grub
[03:32] <fewqe> sucks.. its the second time i installed ubuntu now :(
[03:32] <sipior> fewqe: was it working right after the install? if so, what did you change?
[03:32] <bimberi> j3g: only if you've installed 32bit Ubuntu
[03:32] <fewqe> i changed a few
[03:32] <fewqe> installed compiz

[03:33] <BlobbDob1> yep, all in virtual HD, would that be drastically different to a real installation?
[03:33] <sipior> fewqe: compiz might have broken something, though i can't see why. probably best to uninstall until compiz is stable (i.e., wait till Feisty)
[03:34] <redmonkey> when is the release date of ubuntu feisty fawn?
[03:34] <j3g> bimberi: so it is currently not possible to install nx on x64 feisty?

[03:41] <RoundyT1> jimle, its actually in the Terminal window, you click Edit>Profiles>Select Default>Edit>and its on the effects.....oh, well i think that's all it can do, i noticed the same thing.
[03:41] <jimmio> Is there a way to not use gnome in edgy and go with Xfce4? If not, look at Beryl in you tube, blue background. The icons up top I would like to have

[03:44] <jimle> miladmovie, what
[03:44] <jimmio> bimberi: is there a chance some programs will not work anymore?
[03:44] <bimberi> FordCapri: fixing your router config (if applicable).  Otherwise you can set up resolv.conf as you want then 'sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv/conf' which makes it immutable (even root can't change it - until 'chattr -i')
[03:45] <Kopfgeldjaeger> are any 64-bit-edgy users here? i need three .so-files! it's important :/
[03:45] <miladmovie> jimle, I want to know ubuntu developer work on driver for conexant modem ? (win mode)
[03:45] <miladmovie> jimle, I heard thay work on that
[03:45] <bimberi> jimmio: they should, as long as all their dependencies are installed.
[03:45] <jimle> miladmovie, that is perhaps a wider linux question rather than ubuntu?
[03:46] <ravi_master> anyone in here know how to fix ruby development enviroment issues in Ubuntu?

[03:46] <miladmovie> jimle, now some one say that ubuntu-developer work on that I want join them !
[03:46] <bimberi> jimmio: yes, should work fine
[03:47] <miladmovie> s/now/no/
[03:47] <RoundyT1> jimle, it is... it is quite the "eye candy" though, i think it can sometimes be more difficult to get stuff done in.

[03:48] <miladmovie> jimle, have you any information about that ?
[03:48] <HyDraGeN> is "HyDraGeN"
[03:48] <HyDraGeN> not hydrogen
[03:48] <HyDraGeN> :)
[03:48] <freezey>  i am looking for these packages and i cant figure out in the package manager which they are?  libc.so.6  libdl.so.2  libgcc_s.so.1 libm.so.6 libpthread.so.0 librt.so.1 libstdc++.so.5
[03:49] <jimle> RoundyT1, and transparent console woyuld allow me to have it open on top of browser to read the doc i might need ;)
[03:49] <RoundyT1> i know. just making a statement
[03:49] <r3zon8> beryl runs too slow on my notebook :(
[03:49] <xtknight> freezey you should have msot if not all of those
[03:49] <HyDraGeN> lol ok
[03:49] <xtknight> !find librt.so.1
[03:49] <smo> i made scripts for it dooglus or use persistent mode
[03:49] <jimmio> HyDraGen: try running it from a terminal.
[03:49] <ubotu> File librt.so.1 found in libc6, libc6-amd64, libc6-dbg, libc6-i686, libc6-xen
[03:49] <In[d] y> !mysql
[03:49] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[03:49] <jimle> miladmovie, there is a ubuntu-dev channel, maybe join that and ask? this is for mainly support
[03:49] <dooglus> smo: I use persistent mode, but xorg.conf doesn't persist
[03:49] <RoundyT1> jimle, yeah, i had beryl installed then i didn't want to fine tune it to my "wanted" settings, so i got rid of it...but, it is however, better than anything.
[03:50] <dooglus> smo: which scripts did you make?
[03:50] <smo> what s u re 2nd partition label?
[03:50] <miladmovie> jimle, ty
[03:50] <jimmio> HyDraGen: I have frostwire running properly, it's built off of limewire. Really easy to get running
[03:50] <jimle> miladmovie, actuallyi dont know the precise name of the channel that may not work!
[03:50] <smo> must be named casper-rw
[03:50] <HyDraGeN> i ran it in terminal the following came up: runLime.sh: 44: Syntax error: "(" unexpected (expecting "}")
[03:50] <dooglus> smo: s u re 2nd?
[03:50] <smo> or persistent mode do not work
[03:50] <xtknight> HyDraGeN how did you try to run it?
[03:50] <miladmovie> jimle, ye man ty
[03:50] <Hidan> xtknight: hey, good to see you again! :)
[03:50] <dooglus> smo: persistent mode is working, but xorg.conf is regenerated each boot
[03:50] <HyDraGeN> limewire ?
[03:50] <dooglus> smo: most other changes persist
[03:50] <RoundyT1> wow.
[03:50] <HyDraGeN> command = limewire
[03:51] <jimle> !beryl | jimle
[03:51] <xtknight> Hidan hello.  more linux problemss? :P
[03:51] <binfalse> hey
[03:51] <dooglus> smo: /etc/fstab and /etc/network/interfaces are also lost each boot
[03:51] <RoundyT1> this "hydragen" question is getting everyone awake
[03:51] <RoundyT1> good job hydra.
[03:51] <smo> yeah u have to add a script and regenerate the initrd...
[03:51] <smo> or edit the /etc/rc.local
[03:51] <jimmio> bimberi: I installed that sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop now do I restart X server (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace)?
[03:51] <smo> and add some lines
[03:51] <coffeegrindah> I'm just in here fishing for Ideas.. I've got a 2gb CF card and a CF to IDE drive adapter.. what kind of fun with it would people recomend
[03:51] <Hidan> xtknight: I'm still trouble-shooting Ubuntu but I believe I'm close to ironing out some of them. :P For instance, I found out gnome-desktop-environment was not installed and installed it. ;__;
[03:51] <smo> exemple save your fstab xorg etc in your home/.save
[03:52] <RoundyT1> jimmio, i would just restart the system?
[03:52] <dooglus> smo: I have copies, yes
[03:52] <smo> then make lines cp /home/.save/fstab /etc ... in /etc/rc.local for exemple etc
[03:52] <jimmio> RoundyT1: Roger that, be right back
[03:52] <Hidan> xtknight: i'm just hanging around here, though, 'cos it gets boring when you're doing nothing but troubleshooting. =P
[03:52] <bimberi> jimmio: that's the harsh way.  More finessed is to log out, ctrl-alt-f1, log in and 'sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart' :)
[03:52] <dooglus> smo: isn't rc.local too late?  the network interfaces will have been brought up by then?
[03:52] <ravi_master> anyone know how to monitor the output of one command and give the user an alert if the output is not nothing?
[03:52] <xtknight> Hidan so now you can do nothing but troubleshoot other people's problems.  funner? :P
[03:52] <smo> can try that...
[03:53] <smo> can t do another way
[03:53] <eliran> hey
[03:53] <RoundyT1> bimberi, shiz im sorry...
[03:53] <philipsmith> Hi. When I start realplayer and use the "favorites" drop-down menu to tune into a streaming radio station, I get the message, "Cannot open the audio device. Another application may be using it." Hey! I don't have any other application open! What should I do?
[03:53] <smo> o you ll have to modify casper script and regenarte squashfs edit a new initr.gz ....
[03:53] <eliran> ?
[03:53] <smo> by chroot
[03:53] <In[d] y> How do I set root's password for MySQL?
[03:53] <RoundyT1> bimberi, didn't mean to screw things up for your "tech session"
[03:53] <bimberi> RoundyT1: lol, no problem whatsoever! :)
[03:53] <dooglus> smo: I can't rewrite the cd
[03:53] <binfalse> ?
[03:53] <smo> you can
[03:53] <smo> but it s work
[03:53] <coffeegrindah> Who's trying to make a custom squashfs?
[03:54] <xtknight> !customlivecd
[03:54] <ravi_master> anyone know how to monitor the output of one command and give the user an alert if the output is not nothing?
[03:54] <dooglus> smo: if I take out the running CD, ubuntu crashes, so I can't burn another one
[03:54] <Hidan> xtknight: huh? who said so? =P I'm just reading the messages. :P Even I though I've mastered a bit of command line, I'm not qualified enough to help someone out with their problems.
[03:54] <smo> i finished my live usb/cd all is great
[03:54] <coffeegrindah> I've been doing it for a while nopw?
[03:54] <RoundyT1> In[d] y, type "mysql -u root -p" then it will ask you for a password, just hit enter (i believe) then there's something else you have to do, which i forget lol
[03:54] <smo> no system on your hdd yet?
[03:54] <dooglus> smo: no hdd
[03:54] <smo> try rc.local
[03:54] <xtknight> Hidan what was your problem again? the printer/sd card?
[03:54] <Yoe> Hi! I noticed the info on launchpad for nbd is horribly incorrect. Who do I contact to get it fixed?
[03:54] <In[d] y> RoundyT1: ok
[03:54] <smo> don t worry for network etc
[03:55] <coffeegrindah> SMO: is it just me or are you tire of hearing people say it's too slow to run from flash? I find boot takes a while but better than native preformance when opening apps.
[03:55] <Hidan> xtknight: oh uhm... something was trying to shut down the computer. I'm not sure if I've fixed the issue yet, though.
[03:55] <RoundyT1> Yoe, good question
[03:55] <jimle> RoundyT1, if you care all you need to do is press alt + scroll wheel to make window transparent
[03:55] <Pici> Yoe: Does it list someone as that package's maintainer?
[03:55] <Yoe> RoundyT1: a good answer would even be better :)
[03:55] <RoundyT1> smo, it works good?
[03:55] <Hidan> xtknight: the printer problem I'll just ignore for now. It's not a priority. :P
[03:55] <Yoe> Pici: I'm the package's maintainer, at least for Debian
[03:55] <RoundyT1> Yoe, lol
[03:56] <jimmio> What the....
[03:56] <RoundyT1> jimmio, ??
[03:56] <jimmio> It said Xubuntu on startup and it went to the normal Gnome Environment
[03:56] <SlimG> My 3Com 3crusb20075 wireless usb dongle won't work out-of-box with ubuntu beta install althou the wiki says it should work, it uses the zd1211 driver, anyone got a clue on what I have to do to make it work?
[03:56] <PriceChild> Is there anyone here running nvidia-glx-legacy that could help me locate a file?
[03:56] <RoundyT1> jimmio, one sec
[03:57] <bimberi> jimmio: did you choose xfce from the sessions menu in gdm?
[03:57] <dooglus> smo: I guess I can 'ifdown; ifup' in rc.local too, after fixing the interfaces file
[03:57] <jimmio> bimberi: thanks for pointing that out, brb again
[03:57] <dooglus> smo: thanks for the help.  I'll try it now.
[03:57] <RoundyT1> jimmio, -------> ctrl-alt-f1, log in and 'sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart' :)
[03:57] <Dave-ubu> jimmio: on the user/password screen - click options / session and select XFce
[03:57] <bimberi> RoundyT1: LOL!!
[03:58] <RoundyT1> omg
[03:58] <RoundyT1> bimberi, i had to...i couldn't find your username....i did however copy and paste it...i was going to credit you...but forgot your usrnam....its too early!
[04:00] <bimberi> RoundyT1: ha, it's np whatsoever. really.
[04:00] <jimmio> How weird... It opened Xfce but, it's still two gray bars, not one big icon'd one and task bar....
[04:00] <RoundyT1> bimberi, before i break his computer, you better help.
[04:00] <smo> how can i edit style of gdm used by casper in the squashfs??
[04:00] <RoundyT1> haha.
[04:00] <bimberi> jimmio: xubuntu is made to look ubuntu-ish
[04:00] <fog_proxy> Hi all. I did 'modprobe irda' in my ubuntu linux before, and then every time I boot the linux, this module insmod automaticly, and I have a more interface named 'irda0'. How to remove it from the boot time? I don't want the interface any more, also the module
[04:00] <bimberi> RoundyT1: :)
[04:00] <jimmio> darn
[04:01] <jimmio> bimberi: Can I change it?
[04:01] <jetscreamer> check /etc/modules maybe fog_proxy
[04:01] <xtknight> smo gdm.conf or something?
[04:01] <xtknight> !blacklist | fog_proxy
[04:01] <ubotu> fog_proxy: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add  blacklist <modulename>  to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type  sudo update-initramfs -u 
[04:01] <smo> must have anothergdm.conf yeah
[04:01] <smo> but i don t know where
[04:01] <bimberi> jimmio: i'd be very surprised if you can't.  I don't know how myself though.
[04:01] <fog_proxy> jetscreamer: irda is not exist in /etc/modules
[04:02] <jimmio> ok, thanks anyways... I'll go mess up.... I mean fool with some settings, be back in a bit
[04:02] <jetscreamer> then i don't know
[04:02] <fog_proxy> xtknight: but which function do the auto modprobe work?
[04:03] <fog_proxy> xtknight: I think remove irda from that should be a better solution
[04:03] <xtknight> fog_proxy: huh?  you need to type "blacklist irda"
[04:03] <[WaZ] > !synaptics
[04:03] <ubotu> For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad
[04:03] <coffeegrindah> smo: you said you have a liveusb setup correct?
[04:03] <xtknight> fog_proxy: oh i am not sure.  maybe "sudo rmmod irda" or "sudo modprobe -rf irda"
[04:03] <fog_proxy> xtknight: I have tried that way, but still there
[04:03] <smo> yes with beryl ntfs-3g directly working really nice coffeegrindah
[04:04] <coffeegrindah> smo: do you have issues when loading Gnome that the ICEAuthority is locked?
[04:04] <smo> i hade
[04:04] <fog_proxy> xtknight: I can remove the module by manual after boot, but what I want is prevent from auto load by the system
[04:04] <Hidan> xtknight: anyways, i'll continue to monitor Ubuntu. =P Ya know, the beauty of this o/s is that if anything didn't get installed right, you simply do "sudo aptitude update/install/reinstall"  and chances are, you're on the road to fixing your problems. :P WinXP? forget it... you'd probably have to reformat lol.
[04:05] <fog_proxy> xtknight: I need rmmod every time I restart the linux
[04:05] <jetscreamer> !blacklist
[04:05] <ubotu> To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add  blacklist <modulename>  to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type  sudo update-initramfs -u 
[04:05] <xtknight> fog_proxy i was thinking maybe sudo modprobe -rf would do that.  have you tried it?
[04:05] <smo> make a chmod 700 in the home/yourusername then  chmod 711 -R on /home/youname/**
[04:05] <jetscreamer> try that
[04:05] <xtknight> fog_proxy yeah i know, i had thought modprobe -r would remove it for good
[04:05] <coffeegrindah> smo: I know to rm the .ICEauthority-c file but it happens so sparatically, not sure whats causing it.
[04:05] <fog_proxy> xtknight: yes, I tried. 'FATAL: Module irda is in use.'
[04:05] <smo> just permissions
[04:05] <xtknight> Hidan: linux is harder to use but easier to debug.  thus, linux is easier
[04:06] <root> helooooooo
[04:06] <xtknight> fog_proxy: ok.  i'm not sure why the blacklist didn't work.  you'd have to rip out the .ko file or remove the pci id for your adapter if you didnt want it to load, i guess
[04:06] <Hidan> xtknight: huh... well, even command line makes sense in Linux, ya know. :p I'd always had some problems struggling to remember certain commands 'cos they're like "huh??"
[04:06] <jimle> What do i use to get rid of the general ugliness of gtk?  ie the grey window kind of thing?
[04:06] <theDtTvB2> Hello there.
[04:07] <smo> install murrine engine jimle
[04:07] <xtknight> jimle are you running a theme?  does gtk appear grayh under root?
[04:07] <smo> very eye candy
[04:07] <xtknight> or do you mean gtk1
[04:07] <root> what is the channel of assebler language ??
[04:07] <kurtoxin> hi
[04:07] <HyDraGeN> wtf?
[04:07] <coffeegrindah> smo: is it just that the Liveuser is added after the system boots? (also after these files were created?)
[04:07] <fog_proxy> xtknight: well, I just modify the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file and add 'blacklist irda'
[04:07] <jimle> smo, i will have a look at that thanks
[04:07] <kurtoxin> some one italian?
[04:08] <xtknight> !it
[04:08] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[04:08] <smo> during boot yes
[04:08] <smo> anyway just change the permissions
[04:08] <theDtTvB2> I remembered that there is a script that will be executed when the system boots. - What is its name? I can't seem to remember them. Is it /etc/something.d/something? Please point me the right way.
[04:08] <jimle> xtknight, i guess i mean both, tho i think i have gtk2?
[04:08] <smo> u made your own /home/user or keep the casper one?
[04:08] <kurtoxin> Tsorry
[04:08] <coffeegrindah> I've been having more fun writing scripts to fix rather than fixing the real issue.
[04:08] <oddie> i know im way off normal topic but has anyone played around with xUbuntu and an xbox?... Im after an xbox 1 modding channel if anyone has a good one?
[04:08] <HyDraGeN> damn i reinstalled the java 1.6 but nothing happened
[04:08] <HyDraGeN> same
[04:08] <HyDraGeN> :S
[04:09] <smo> try
[04:09] <jimle> oddie, I have and imho it isnt worthwhile, depending on what you want to do
[04:09] <xtknight> jimle where is gtk gray?
[04:09] <smo> sudo update-alternatives --config java
[04:09] <smo> then choose good java
[04:09] <HyDraGeN> There is only 1 program which provides java
[04:09] <HyDraGeN> (/usr/bin/gij-wrapper-4.1). Nothing to configure.
[04:09] <smo> must have gcj i think...
[04:09] <coffeegrindah> I used a custom live user and added the home dir manually. (had to drop some files in there prior to booting the first time)
[04:10] <HyDraGeN> gcj ?
[04:10] <smo> so jre install failed
[04:10] <smo> gij..
[04:10] <jrib> HyDraGeN: how did you install java 1.6?
[04:10] <jimle> xtknight, basically anywhere that isnt the top window bar
[04:10] <Linuxor> HI, I've lost my screen resolution, I was using 1024*768 and today I opened my PC and find 800*600, my graphic carte is defined, so how to do?? Please ??

[04:20] <Priest-of-Psi> well at home but at work also
[04:20] <w4nabe> xtknight: is it easiest to just configure iptables or to use a front-end like firestarter
[04:20] <xtknight> heh lucky
[04:20] <Priest-of-Psi> xtknight: its 36 degrees celcius
[04:21] <xtknight> w4nabe never used either.  iptables didnt look extremely hard to use though
[04:21] <xtknight> Priest-of-Psi: means nothing to me in the US :P
[04:21] <xtknight> Priest-of-Psi ah 96.8.  like 40F here
[04:23] <Hidan> xtknight: oh btw, what antivirus program do you suggest for ubuntu? thank you. :)
[04:23] <yellow_chicken> i love "split and cat"  on linux, but on windows is there a "split" equvalent?
[04:24] <xtknight> Hidan: none..  or clamav
[04:24] <HyDraGeN> thnx guys (Y) :) frostwire working perfectly
[04:24] <HyDraGeN> thnx again
[04:24] <xtknight> pretty much impossible to get viruses on linux
[04:24] <Hidan> xtknight: aha okay 'cos I receive tons of files like emails, archives, etc. from Windows users, so gotta be careful. =P
[04:24] <shawnr> isn't there a package i can install that adds an search filter option to the package manager to search for packages installed that are no longer needed?
[04:24] <distue> hi
[04:25] <RoundyT1> is amarok made for KDE?
[04:25] <RoundyT1> is amarok made for KDE?
[04:25] <shawnr> yes
[04:25] <xtknight> Hidan that's what's great about linux.  it's like a fire suit
[04:25] <shawnr> but you can still use it
[04:25] <xtknight> RoundyT1: yes..
[04:25] <RoundyT1> thank you
[04:25] <tex__> Hi to all
[04:25] <RoundyT1> what's the "gnome" versin
[04:25] <jimle> RoundyT1, you can use it in gnome tho
[04:25] <jetscreamer> !kruft
[04:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kruft - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:25] <xtknight> RoundyT1: rhythmbox
[04:25] <Hidan> xtknight: yeah... and when it's messed up, you can STILL use it. =D
[04:25] <noh> hi
[04:25] <RoundyT1> Amarok is much better
[04:25] <jetscreamer> !info deborphan
[04:25] <tex__> I am a windows user :)
[04:25] <ubotu> deborphan: Find orphaned libraries. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.7.18 (edgy), package size 60 kB, installed size 372 kB
[04:25] <xtknight> so use Amarok on gnome
[04:26] <noh> where r u from?
[04:26] <xtknight> grab qt libs.  sudo apt-get install amarok will do it all for you
[04:26] <noh> hi tex where r u from
[04:26] <shawnr> jetscreamer, thats it! thanks, i couldn't remember the name for the life of me
[04:26] <tex__> I'm planning to switch to Ubuntu 7.04 as soon is released. What is the exact release date?
[04:26] <xtknight> april 19th
[04:26] <Iceman__> can you get recommendation in amarok like in banshee?
[04:26] <Pici> tex__: Approx 4/199
[04:26] <Pici> tex__: Approx 4/19 even
[04:27] <HyDraGeN> ok
[04:27] <HyDraGeN> lol
[04:27] <HyDraGeN> Frostwire opens then freezes for some time
[04:27] <HyDraGeN> and disappears
[04:27] <tex__> will the 7.04 release include the ntfs3g driver'
[04:27] <tex__> ?
[04:27] <Pici> RoundyT1: Theres a project to make an amarok like program for gnome...called *thinks* Exaile
[04:27] <xtknight> tex__ not my default, afaik
[04:27] <xtknight> by*
[04:27] <RoundyT1> lol Rhythmbox has a "party mode" that's great
[04:27] <RoundyT1> o
[04:27] <xtknight> tex__ ask #ubuntu+1
[04:27] <jimle> lol
[04:27] <xtknight> eh what's party mode
[04:28] <LadyNikon> !root
[04:28] <RoundyT1> it's like full screen...
[04:28] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[04:28] <RoundyT1> something i assume a dj would use
[04:28] <owz> HIIII
[04:28] <bdauvergne_> ugfr
[04:29] <jimle> i think party mode lets a user queue a song after the current one by clicking
[04:29] <jimle> then it continues the playlist
[04:29] <xtknight> reminds me of that music player on asus motherboards.  instantmusic or something.  it's in the bios
[04:29] <RoundyT1> ya, something like that too
[04:29] <RoundyT1> lol
[04:29] <tex__> I would like to install Ubuntu and use as text editor Kate. is it possible? Or Kate is only for Kubuntu?
[04:29] <samurayx> hi
[04:29] <xtknight> i hope linuxbios takes off
[04:29] <xtknight> tex__ you can run kate frmo ubuntu
[04:30] <jimle> xtknight, yeah that would be great
[04:30] <samurayx> why i finish to install ubuntu and when i go to add and remove it says me that i cant install
[04:30] <HyDraGeN> anyone faced this problem? frostwire loads, and opens after some seconds it closes by itself ?
[04:30] <KirO> hi, i've upgraded to feisty and i cant start my computer because the kernel isn't valid, the splash say me "waiting for root filesystem" and after a while i get a console, if i do ls /dev/ i can't find my hard disks, and if i do cat /proc/modules i cant find the drivers for the hard disks, i have looked in a working ubuntu and i test to write "modprobe ide_disk" and "modprobe ide_generic" after that it detects my hard disks but i don
[04:30] <samurayx> on this machine because is (i386)
[04:30] <xtknight> tex__ there is no such thing as a 'kde app'.  typically they refer to apps that utilize the Qt libraries which are available anywhere, even your PDA
[04:30] <samurayx> is possible fix this?
[04:31] <tex__> thanks
[04:31] <xtknight> slightly poorly worded i guess.  there are apps that need the kde user setup and stuff though.  but that's minor you dont need the whole KDEsktop enviornment
[04:31] <xtknight> !feisty | KirO
[04:31] <ubotu> KirO: The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn") should be released in April 2007.

[04:32] <KirO> thank you xtknight
[04:32] <KirO> and sorry
[04:32] <RoundyT1> I didn't find Exaile in the add/remove programs so i assume you have to install it from a site, or i'm lame and forgot my repository
[04:32] <Borat> hey does anyone know how to get shadows on my gnome-panel? Im running beryl...., TIA
[04:33] <Pici> RoundyT1: I dont think its in the repos: http://www.exaile.org/trac/wiki/Releases
[04:34] <RoundyT1> is it any good?
[04:34] <RoundyT1> Pici, ?
[04:34] <Pici> RoundyT1: Never used it. Just came across it while looking for other stuff.
[04:34] <RoundyT1> haha.
[04:35] <RoundyT1> I like Amarok..but it seems like, idk, too KDE-ish for me.
[04:35] <samurayx> hi, errors after installing ubuntu
[04:35] <samurayx> who know somethings about this?
[04:35] <xtknight> RoundyT1 you can adjust it to look more like gnome.  forgot how.  some qt4 config program
[04:35] <RoundyT1> forget that.
[04:35] <RoundyT1> lol,
[04:35] <jimle> RoundyT1, imo amarok is mainly good if you need easy ipod syncing
[04:35] <RoundyT1> i like the look, i just don't like something about it, i don't really know.
[04:35] <ilmk8> how can you tell exactly which kernel your running?
[04:36] <noh> who knows how to set the beryl up?] 
[04:36] <xtknight> ilmk8: uname -a
[04:36] <RoundyT1> ilmk8, on boot? GRUB?
[04:36] <RoundyT1> or that^
[04:36] <ilmk8> xtknight: that's it.. thanks
[04:36] <noh> who knows how to set the beryl up?

[04:40] <RoundyT1> i've been thinking about getting the "official ubuntu book"

[05:06] <ubuntu>  guys, today i rearranged my hardrives physically from ide cables... anyways now i get no grub on bootup and so i put in my livecd, i did find /root/grub/stage1 and said its on hd0 , so i root (hd0,0) and now grub boots up and shows Kubuntu and Windows XP ... however when i choose any of them
[05:06] <ubuntu> Please help me.. and sorry bad english
[05:06] <jimle> samurayx, there is no network-manager in the 64bit repo?
[05:06] <ferronica> [WaZ] : i used --> gksu update-manager -c 
[05:06] <vinesa1234> Ubuntu version 7.4
[05:06] <apokryphos> ubotu: packages
[05:06] <ubotu> You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search <keywords>", the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways!
 is not a 64 bit
[05:07] <ferronica> [WaZ] : after that a window opens
[05:07] <samurayx> is a simple 32 bit p4 2.8
[05:07] <ferronica> [WaZ] : i used GUI method
 i had an ubuntu working nice yesterday
[05:07] <ubuntu>  guys, today i rearranged my hardrives physically from ide cables... anyways now i get no grub on bootup and so i put in my livecd, i did find /root/grub/stage1 and said its on hd0 , so i root (hd0,0) and now grub boots up and shows Kubuntu and Windows XP ... however when i choose any of them
[05:07] <samurayx> i install again to clean for a new job
[05:07] <samurayx> and rigth now is bad
[05:07] <[WaZ] > ferronica: yes, there's a reason why it won't let you stop, its changing the system, so you might break your system completely if you quit now
 i think is an installation erros
[05:08] <rickjones> ubuntu edgy, is there  a way to make the windows movable ?
[05:08] <ferronica> [WaZ] : oh my GOD
[05:08] <HyDraGeN> anyone knows where this lion worm is active the most right now?
[05:08] <jimle> samurayx, sorry i assumed it was 64.  You installed x86 version ubuntu am i correct?
[05:08] <ferronica> [WaZ] : So i have to wait for 6 hours.
[05:08] <ubuntu>  guys, today i rearranged my hardrives physically from ide cables... anyways now i get no grub on bootup and so i put in my livecd, i did find /root/grub/stage1 and said its on hd0 , so i root (hd0,0) and now grub boots up and shows Kubuntu and Windows XP ... however when i choose any of them
[05:08] <[WaZ] > ferronica: yup
yes i install all my 8 pcs with the same cd
[05:08] <Matt101> doo beee dooo beee dooo
[05:08] <ubuntu> please someone help me?
[05:08] <ferronica> [WaZ] : ok after that,  can i uninstall it
[05:08] <predaeus> ferronica, is there alot of disk activity or do you think it is just downloading. Normal console updates with apt-get and also synaptic just download the packages before doing any changes.
why now it begin to send me errors?
[05:09] <[WaZ] > ferronica: no
[05:09] <ferronica> [WaZ] : ok
[05:09] <sluimers> predaeus: I gave the full output.. can you tell anything what's wrong
 i install twice and i had the same problem
[05:09] <[WaZ] > ferronica: one side effect of being in control of your system is that you have to be responsible with the actions you take
[05:09] <ferronica> [WaZ] : ok
[05:10] <sepho> II've try to install ATI drivers on my ubuntu (ATI RADEON 9800 PRO), and when I type:  sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv, show me this error: X Error of failed request:  BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation).... Why?? :(
[05:10] <jimle> samurayx, that does seem strange.  please run sudo apt-get install network-manager and post the results to pastebin
[05:10] <ferronica> predaeus: So there is no way to STOP from upgarde.
[05:10] <[WaZ] > ferero: I wouldn't recomment running IRC as root
 ok, i do when i finish another installation
[05:10] <[WaZ] > recoomend
[05:11] <arkaitz> can't I make the /var/www path accessible and writable for all the users? It's kind of annoying having to use sudo every single time I want to change a file.
 but you are telling me than i can't remove the games
[05:11] <samurayx> too
[05:11] <ferronica> predaeus: i used this command -----> gksu "update-manager -c"
[05:11] <predaeus> ferronica, you could just kill it. I am NOT sure but IF it is still just downloading it could be ok.
[05:11] <predaeus> sluimers, aren't there drivers for your intel card in the repos?
because i want to install network manager and remove games
[05:11] <ndlovu> are there likely to be problems in a server upgrade if I replace 'breezy' with 'dapper' in my sources.list and then do an 'apt-get dist-upgrade'?
[05:11] <jimle> samurayx, no, I just need to see what happens, I had no idea we wanted to remove games
[05:12] <ferronica> [WaZ] : no i am not running IRC as a root.
[05:12] <ferronica> [WaZ] : how to kill it?
[05:12] <[WaZ] > ferronica: i never said you were
[05:12] <ferronica> predaeus: how to kill it?
let me explain again
[05:12] <[WaZ] > ferronica: if you don't know if its downloading or installing, don't kill it
[05:13] <dyrne> ndlovu: thats how ive upgraded since hoary
[05:13] <[WaZ] > ferronica: youll brick your system
[05:13] <jimle> samurayx, you need to apt-get remove gnome-games
i cant add or remove anything
[05:13] <jimle> samurayx, okay, what is the exact error when you try to?
[05:13] <arkaitz> can't I make the /var/www path accessible and writable for all the users? It's kind of annoying having to use sudo every single time I want to change a file.
[05:13] <ferronica> [WaZ] : "fetching and installing the upgrades"
and them why the graphic mode isnt working,
[05:14] <ferronica> [WaZ] : modifying the software channels done.
the error say that i cant perform this operation because my equimmnet isnt a i386
[05:14] <dyrne> ndlovu: what i usually do: sudo sed -i 's/dapper/edgy/g' /etc/apt/sources.list; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[05:14] <jimle> arkaitz, you can if you want
[05:14] <[WaZ] > ferronica: its over?
[05:14] <arkaitz> ok
[05:14] <ferronica> [WaZ] : what
let me see is the trubble come again
[05:14] <arkaitz> I found out how to do it
[05:14] <arkaitz> I changed the chmod

[05:14] <samurayx> s
[05:14] <chable> hello
u will be here
[05:14] <predaeus> sluimers, I haven't got enough information. You are either missing files or the code is faulty.
[05:14] <ferronica> [WaZ] : you mean no way to kill?
[05:15] <Pici> ferero: mv fileold filenew
[05:15] <chable> anyone knows if ubuntu boots from usb stick ?
[05:15] <[WaZ] > ferronica: you can always kill
[05:15] <ndlovu> dyrne, that's pretty much what I'm wanting to do. just checking that it's not going to lead to any unexpected instability in the system.
[05:15] <jimle> samurayx, I wont be, but please run a sudo apt-get install and post the exact output for someone to read
[05:15] <ferronica> [WaZ] : i mean if i kill my system breaks?
[05:15] <ferronica> [WaZ] : right.
[05:15] <baktaah> burepe Im not sure, I think u should check google a bit, try download package apt

[05:15] <baktaah> Could someome help mew with Nautilus FPT issue, I can't cut out files from the folder to the main folder, but I can, delete, copy, edit and I got full permission, it might be that Nautilus is in passive mode?
[05:16] <ferronica> [WaZ] : i dont wanna to take risk.
[05:16] <jimle> baktaah, try run nautilus as root
[05:16] <ferronica> [WaZ] : what you think KILL or upgarde?
[05:16] <vinesa1234> Do you speak espaol?
[05:16] <[WaZ] > ferronica: patience young padawan
[05:16] <krabador> hey peole, who work with audio
[05:16] <baktaah> jimle okay
[05:16] <ferronica> [WaZ] : what
[05:16] <[WaZ] > ferronica: just let it upgrade, go to the movies or something
[05:17] <Smurphy[ACS] > any of you know if I can start ubuntu on a mac-mini without passing by the EFI stuff on the harddisk ???
[05:17] <Xeh> http://www.voinaroz.lv/?auk=2i1i18g2oxz Check it out ;)
[05:17] <Smurphy[ACS] > I want to erase Mac-OS completely ... and get rid of the EFI Partition on the disk...

[05:17] <sluimers> predaeus :which code? source code?
[05:17] <baktaah> jimle it isnt integrated the same way as nautilus
[05:17] <[WaZ] > ferronica: no im using 6.10
[05:17] <arkaitz> chmod 0777 would allow users from the internet save the php files in their locals?
[05:17] <predaeus> sluimers, probably
[05:17] <jimle> baktaah, true.
[05:17] <baktaah> jimle with nautilus everything worked so fast and I could save screenshots directly and etc
[05:18] <ferronica> [WaZ] : is it better then 6.06?
[05:18] <Smurphy[ACS] > arkaitz: Yes - but it would also open your system to all people to do some bad things on that box ...
[05:18] <jimle> baktaah, yeah.
[05:18] <[WaZ] > ferronica: yeah
[05:18] <predaeus> sluimers, but unlikely. What else does it say apart from that single line you posted? Did it miss any files or something?
[05:18] <ferronica> [WaZ] : ok, i will upgarde. :)
[05:18] <[WaZ] > ferronica: similar but more up-to-date
[05:18] <Pici> ferronica: 6.10 is not LTS though.

[05:19] <arkaitz> Smurphy[ACS] : the thing is that I just want to move files to that folder and edit them from them without using the sudo mode. BVut I dont want others see the code, just execute it, the thing is that I dont know which CHMOD to use
[05:19] <jimle> lol
[05:19] <predaeus> sluimers, nah I've got no private messages from you. Sorry *g*
[05:19] <ferronica> [WaZ] : why before that they shipit free?

[05:32] <markvandenborre> in a way that it won't disappear after a kernel upgrade?
[05:32] <predaeus> sluimers, that file seems to be in none of the Ubuntu repository packages. You will have to find it elsewhere or find some workaround. Why are you compiling Intel drivers yourself?
[05:32] <xtknight> markvandenborre add it before the automagic kernels list in grub.conf?

[05:33] <radusi> Hi, would i be able to use this link to patch my Ubuntu 7.04 to allow realtime privilleges? http://www.osadl.org/Realtime-Preempt-Kernel.kernel-rt.0.html
[05:33] <Kevlar_Soul> isnt FEISTY not beta
[05:33] <xtknight> feisty is beta.
[05:33] <radusi> i just updated to a lowlatency kernel, but i still can't use real time applications?
[05:33] <xtknight> !feisty
[05:33] <ubotu> The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn") should be released in April 2007. Beta is out! http://www.ubuntu.com/news/Ubuntu704Beta Schedule: !schedule - Specifications (goals): https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/feisty - Help and support in #ubuntu+1 (NOT #ubuntu)
[05:33] <xtknight> radusi lowlatency != realtime
[05:33] <Kevlar_Soul> its April
[05:33] <Kevlar_Soul> not beta
[05:33] <Pici> Kevlar_Soul: Its beta, its not released yet.
[05:34] <xtknight> radusi i have used Ingo Molnar's patches on the kernel tree under feisty.  they worked fine
[05:34] <Kevlar_Soul> Huh? 7.04 means 2007 APRIL
[05:34] <kestaz> why i can't find on ubuntu /dev/usb/ttyUSB0 ?
[05:34] <Kevlar_Soul> It's april
[05:34] <xtknight> april 19th
[05:34] <tomix> can anyone point me in the direction of a desktop based  apache log file analyser
[05:34] <xtknight> what's the confusion?
[05:34] <tomix> ?
[05:35] <xtknight> and yes it's beta right now
[05:35] <xtknight> it will be final on april 19th
[05:35] <radusi> xtknight: where do i get that patch? 2.6.20-13-lowlatency #2 SMP PREEMPT - thats my current kernal
[05:35] <sluimers> predaeus: Well, I'm pretty much a newbie, that doesn't really know what I'm doing, but my aim is to get my games to work correctly.
[05:35] <xtknight> radusi let me see if i can find it
[05:35] <Smurphy[ACS] > tomix: less, awk, sed and grep are your friends ;)
[05:35] <Kevlar_Soul> Oh, well Im using 7.04 and its great. Much better than 6.10 ...big jump
[05:35] <tomix> Smurphy[ACS]  no there not
[05:35] <tomix> ;)
[05:35] <xtknight> radusi http://people.redhat.com/mingo/realtime-preempt/
[05:36] <Spliffster> tomix: do you need a log analyzer or are you looking for something to monitor logs ?
[05:36] <predaeus> sluimers, if you have an Intel gfx card probably try installing the xserver-xorg-video-intel package. You might still have to activate it in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf afterwards though.
[05:36] <tomix> a log analyzer
[05:36] <xtknight> radusi i used a patch for the newest in the 'old' section and it worked for my kernel just fine.
[05:36] <ferero> if i wan to view only .wav files in ls (like dir.wav in windows) how ??
[05:36] <tomix> so essentially awstats but desktop based
[05:36] <mweichert_> how do I configure networkmanager manually??
[05:36] <Smurphy[ACS] > tomix ;)
[05:36] <tomix> i know i could run awstats get it all installed and that but i only need to run one set of files once on my workstation
[05:36] <Spliffster> tomix: i was going to recomend, awstats, analog. i do not know anything like that gtk based
[05:37] <tomix> fair dos
[05:37] <radusi> xtknight; ok i will download patch-2.6.21-rc5-rt9 - is there a simple procedure to install it?
[05:37] <Kevlar_Soul> I cannot get .rm files to work like from this site, it opens up Totem, but still won't play www.cspan.org
[05:37] <tomix> i havent managed to find anything either just thought i would check in here
[05:37] <tomix> cheers anyway
[05:37] <Spliffster> yw
[05:37] <ROnewbie> is there a specialized "printing under linux" channel ?
[05:37] <ROnewbie> IRC channel ?
[05:37] <sluimers> predaeus: and that website: http://intellinuxgraphics.org/install.html helped a bit, I can get the game to work, but it can only run in one resolution and the window (fullscreen) is smaller than the laptop screen
[05:37] <xtknight> ROnewbie: #cups but it's not very active
[05:37] <Kevlar_Soul> The ubuntu forums have lots of support
[05:38] <Kevlar_Soul> for printing
[05:38] <Enola_Gay> hi all
[05:38] <xtknight> radusi yeah
[05:38] <Spliffster> tomix: every tried out reportmagick ? it also web based but as functional as awstats, based on analog but very nice looking stats
[05:39] <NorahAura> anybody have any experience w/ Evolution?
[05:39] <sluimers> predaeus: as in, I succeeded installing the drm and configuring, bu not installing the 2D and 3D driver
[05:39] <Khamael_X> how do i fix a broken package (or how do i discover that a package is broken?)
[05:39] <xtknight> radusi save the patch to /usr/src/ .  make sure the vanilla kernel 2.6.20.4 source code is in /usr/src/linux .  and then, under /usr/src/linux type "patch -p1 < ../patch-2.6.21*
[05:39] <Traveler> Quick Question:  Your website reports release in april 2007 - it's now april, and has a firm date been set?
[05:39] <tomix> Spliffster: i havent but i will now ;)
[05:39] <Enola_Gay> I am trying to setup a 1680x1050 wide screen display connected to a notebook with intel 915 chipsets. I didn't got the right resolution even with 915resolution. I am as far as Gnome things it has 1680x1050 but my monitor tells me something of 1280x960.

[05:40] <DevLaVaca> Hi, I'm trying to write a bash script; I need a counter, using: let COUNTER=COUNTER+1 , but when I run it, I get the message "let: not found".  Any hints?
[05:40] <Artemis3> Kevlar_Soul, trolling?
[05:40] <ROnewbie> kevlar_soul, xtknight: thankx
[05:40] <^Sierra> lo
[05:40] <radusi> vanilla kernel???
[05:40] <Spliffster> tomix: i have settled with report magick, check soem sample stats here http://www.reportmagic.org/sample/index.html
[05:40] <NorahAura> evolution exchange, anyone?
[05:40] <xtknight> radusi kernel full .tar.gz off of kernel.org
[05:41] <predaeus> sluimers, it's easier to try drivers that have been packaged for Ubuntu already, than compiling and installing them yourself. Did you install xserver-xorg-video-intel and try that? With the same settings as specified in section 4.2 of that turorial you found.
[05:41] <vciaglia> hello
[05:41] <dyrne> NorahAura: if you get it working post a nice wiki article :)
[05:41] <Traveler> Quick Question for you guys - Your website reports a new release in april 2007 - it's now april, and has a firm date been set?
[05:41] <tomix> nice cheers
[05:41] <jrib> Traveler: around the 19th
[05:42] <Answer> DevLaVaca, variables in bash script need to be referenced with dollar sign, so $COUNTER= $COUNTER+1
[05:42] <Traveler> kk - thanks
[05:42] <NorahAura> dyrne, haha! I just might :)
[05:44] <radusi> xtknight, is the kernel the one on the front page 'patch-2.6.20.4.bz2' also i dont have a strictly 'linux' folder in my /src folder.  i have linux-headers and linux-header-generic
[05:44] <xtknight> radusi have you compiled a kernel before?
[05:44] <Spliffster> Answer, DevLaVaca: the above example is invalid in bash. 1st) no spaces allowed before and after '='. the variable name in an assignement is not preceeded with '$'. the above example would be: COUNTER=0; COUNTER=`expr $COUNTER + 1`

[05:47] <sluimers> predaeus: looks like I already did that some ago ^_^.
[05:47] <dyrne> ROnewbie: does 'sudo nohup cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp&'  do anything?
[05:48] <NEWTOLINUX> HI ALL
[05:48] <ROnewbie> dyrne: I'll try that, but what is it?
[05:48] <dyrne> ROnewbie: static
[05:48] <sluimers> predaeus: I'm going to check that game again, maybe I was looking at it when it wasn't installed yet.

[05:49] <theRatWonder> hi kids
[05:49] <NEWTOLINUX> I need help setting up my dlink dwl-G650 wireless card onto my ibm laptop. I have dled madwifi already but i dont know how to install drivers.
[05:49] <dyrne> ROnewbie: god auful random static.  i used to ssh into friends machine and turn his sound up and do that
[05:49] <sluimers> predaeus: nope, it still crashes when I try to change it's resolution and I can only have one desktop resolution
[05:49] <predaeus> sluimers, also check "glxinfo | grep vendor"  I think it should say Intel in all three lines.
[05:49] <Artemis3> dylock, cat urandom into dsp will make an ugly noise...
[05:49] <mikebeecham> can someone please tell me where I find the computer name in Ubuntu?
[05:50] <ROnewbie> dyrne: really weird; no sound, but i tried it twise
[05:50] <SlimeyPete> mikebeecham: just open a terminal, the computer name is the bit following the "@" sign
[05:50] <ROnewbie> can we go private ?
[05:50] <NEWTOLINUX> can someone help me setup wireless connection?
[05:50] <ROnewbie> DYRNE: can we go private? I don't want to paste stuff here

[05:52] <EmxBA> !wifi > EmxBA
[05:52] <SlimeyPete> mikebeecham: erm, I'm not sure how you do it graphically. You can do it by editing the text file called /etc/hostname.

[05:52] <aidehua> It's a pain to restore form backups -- is there anything I can do?
[05:52] <predaeus> sluimers, hm probably search http://www.ubuntuforums.org/ for the specific laptop brand you've got. There might be detailed info there if somebody else had the same problem.
[05:53] <mikebeecham> thanks
[05:53] <sluimers> okay
[05:53] <NEWTOLINUX> predaeus well the thing is i dont even see my wireless card in networking
[05:54] <ROnewbie> dyrne: no sound
[05:54] <sluimers> predaeus: thanks for the help
[05:54] <NEWTOLINUX> predaeus: so im thinking i gotta install the driver before i even start?
[05:54] <ubuser> hello, I need some help.  I just hooked up a new flat panel when I was running a CRT monitor.  The new one can't handle the old resolution and shows nothing.  I've booted into recover and need to run something from the command line to set the resolution of the startup screen and after login.  Does anyone knwo what I should run?  If apt reconfigure, which package?
[05:54] <predaeus> NEWTOLINUX, sorry I've absolutely no experience with setting up wifi. Try looking at lspci if your card is listed though.
[05:55] <SlimeyPete> ubuser: you can manually edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, or you could reconfigure x-window-system
[05:55] <ROnewbie> I can't get sound on a Gateway 3040GZ laptop. Anyone ?
[05:55] <LadyNikon> bleh

[05:59] <rapha> Does anybody here have a ThinkPad T20 or some other 700MHz notebook with about 128MB RAM?
[05:59] <rapha> I've installed Ubuntu on a friends notebook
[05:59] <FunnyLookinHat> mikebeecham, ok...  so you just need help installing SAMBA and configuring your printer to be shared through it?
[06:00] <mikebeecham> Fun#
[06:00] <rapha> But it is UNUSUALLY slow (about as slow as on an HP OmniBook with 233MHz and 96MB RAM)
[06:00] <kuma> hi, how can i install the glibc library with apt-get?
[06:00] <NEWTOLINUX> rapha: i have a thinkpad t22
[06:00] <NEWTOLINUX> rapha: i just installed ubuntu onto it yesterday
[06:01] <syn_jet> kuma, I guess you have to apt-get install build-essentials
[06:01] <mikebeecham> FunnyLookinHat: Yeah....I think my description of the issue was fairly straightforward....when I am logged into windows, the Linux machine upstrairs can see the printer and print ok.  However, when I have logged into Ubuntu down here, the Linux machine upstrais can no longer see the printer
[06:01] <kuma> syn_jet done that before, how can i check if i have the lastest glibc installed?
[06:01] <FunnyLookinHat> mikebeecham, yea, it's just because you don't have ubuntu configured to share the printer.
[06:01] <NEWTOLINUX> so can someone help me install wireless card driver??
[06:02] <mikebeecham> FunnyLookinHat: Ahhh ok...well any help you can give will be greatly appreciated mate
[06:02] <ilmk8> I have recently developed a problem when trying to move windows around on the screen... they often do not want to move properly. Anyone else having this problem?
[06:02] <syn_jet> kuma, go ahead with whatever said you were missing glibc and see what happens
[06:02] <FunnyLookinHat> mikebeecham, you really should just follow the link the last post had:   http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/     it will help you configure samba to share the printer...    to install samba just do     sudo apt-get install samba           in the console
[06:03] <kuma> here's the error
[06:03] <kuma> DOSBox stderr> /home/kuma/dbgl055/dosbox-0.70/dosbox: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so .6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by /home/kuma/dbgl055/dosbox-0.70/dosbox)

[06:05] <syn_jet> kuma, apt-get install libc6 and see
[06:05] <xtknight> lol
[06:05] <xtknight> he should have libc already :D
[06:05] <tomy-dsd> hi i want to set up a dns any assistance
[06:06] <syn_jet> xtknight, oh yeah, he has build-essentials right.. my wrong
[06:06] <kuma> syn_jet: yes, it's already installed. Maybe the error is in the path
[06:06] <xtknight> well libc6 is the base of pretty much every program
[06:06] <mikebeecham> FunnyLookinHat: This is WAYYY over my head mate...I've only been using Linux for a little over a week :(
[06:06] <kuma> the path that uses Dosbox to detect glib
[06:06] <ROnewbie> dyrne: I'm on Edgy
[06:06] <ghost> how to use ubunto web browser?
[06:06] <xtknight> kuma: compile dosbox for your pc
[06:06] <xtknight> (instead of using a pkg )
[06:07] <ROnewbie> dyrne: I'm thinking of feisty, but I don't know how stable the beta is.
[06:07] <kuma> xtknight: blergh X_x ok
[06:07] <dyrne> ROnewbie: im using feisty from 4 months ago and i havent noticed any issues.  this close to release should be pretty safe
[06:08] <FunnyLookinHat> mikebeecham, sorry man, i'm looking for a guide for you
[06:08] <mikeconcepts> I've been running Feisty for a while now and winder when the released version becomes available, do I need to download and do a clean install, or wil I get alerted for updates as usual and not need to do anything further?
[06:08] <dyrne> ROnewbie: well package issues but nothing huge
[06:08] <mikeconcepts> wonder*
[06:08] <rapha> NEWTOLINUX: sorry my pc just ran out of power... what specs did you say does your T22 have?
[06:08] <FunnyLookinHat> mikebeecham, unfortunately whta you want to do is going to be over any ones head who is new to linux
[06:08] <mikebeecham> FunnyLookinHat: Thanks mate
[06:08] <xtknight> mikeconcepts just upgrade to the latest.  you dont need to reinstall
[06:08] <ROnewbie> dyrne: can I just upgrade and keep my settings ? It took me forever to install a broadcom wi-fi, among others, not to speak of a widescreen problem, a.s.o.
[06:08] <foutrelis> :] 
[06:08] <HymnToLife`> mikeconcepts, no, just apt-get dist-upgrade
[06:09] <HymnToLife`> as far as you're concerned, the "release" will just be a bunch of updates
[06:09] <mikebeecham> FunnyLookinHat: Not great news by the looks of it....the computer upstairs is for the children to print thier homework off on...I just dont want to have to log into windows so they can print
[06:09] <mikebot> If I have Ubuntu and WIndows on the same hdd, and I want to get rid of Ubuntu, can I just use a partitioning program and format that partition, or do I need to uninstall it somehow?
[06:09] <FunnyLookinHat> mikebeecham, here you go:    http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#Print_Server_.28cupsd.29
[06:09] <mikeconcepts> thanks xtknight and HymnToLife
[06:09] <Khamael_X> hi all again
[06:09] <mikebeecham> FunnyLookinHat: I suppose the solution is to get another local printer
[06:09] <dyrne> ROnewbie: hmm.. id condider making a seperate 5-7 gig partition to try it out before wiping that install i know your computer model is kind of a pain to setup
[06:09] <FunnyLookinHat> mikebeecham, no, follow the link I just sent you:   http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#Print_Server_.28cupsd.29
[06:09] <Khamael_X> i installed gcc-4.0... and its working (thanks god! and you too!)

[06:09] <dyrne> ROnewbie: but should carry over ok
[06:09] <mikebeecham> FunnyLookinHat: Thanks mate.....looking now
[06:09] <syn_jet> mikebot, how did you install the GRUB? did you overwrite the MBR or use a /boot?
[06:10] <tomy-dsd> hi i want to set up a dns any assistance
[06:10] <Khamael_X> i need to install CGAL... and the installer says i have no compiler
[06:10] <Khamael_X> should a take a photograph to him?!
[06:10] <mikebot> syn_jet: I don't really know what that means.
[06:10] <HymnToLife> Khamael_X, sudo apt-grt install build-essential
[06:10] <foutrelis> mikebro: Just delete the partition and boot with the Windows CD -> Recovery Console and do fixmbr.
[06:10] <HymnToLife> apt-get*

[06:11] <HymnToLife> "fixes" the MBR
[06:11] <syn_jet> mikebot, use as foutrelis suggested, that is the best option you have, and if you dont have a win installation cd, you can dload a DOS based boot disk
[06:11] <NEWTOLINUX> can anybody help me install drivers and get my wireless card to work please?? any takers?
[06:11] <foutrelis> mikebot: A command that restores windows boot loader to the MasterBootRecord of your hard disk.
[06:11] <ghost> htt://www.naver.com
[06:11] <mikebot> foutrelis: syn_jet: Would formatting the partition not work?
[06:11] <HymnToLife> NEWTOLINUX, please drop the caps, which card is it ?
[06:11] <kuma> mosi|work where you talking to me?
[06:12] <syn_jet> mikebot, it would, but you wont be able to boot into XP w/o fixing MBR
[06:12] <mosi|work> mikebot
[06:12] <rapha> HymnToLife: what caps?
[06:12] <mosi|work> regard his "whats fixmbr"
[06:12] <foutrelis> mikebot: Formating it won't restore windows boot loader.
[06:12] <HymnToLife> nick
[06:12] <NEWTOLINUX> hymntolife: sorry about the name but i dunno how to change it right now cuz im on webbased irc. but its a dlink dwl-g650

[06:13] <rapha> HymnToLife: well, can't deny that :)... it's still a bit crass, isn't it?
[06:13] <mikebot> OK, well, you guys probably know more about this than I do.
[06:13] <foutrelis> mikebot: When you boot your computer you get a menu that you can choose between Ubuntu and Windows. Right?
[06:13] <syn_jet> mikebot: format ubuntu partition and try booting into XP, if it says GRUB error 22 or 17, then you have to fix MBR else you are fine
[06:13] <mikebot> foutrelis: Yes.
[06:13] <tomy-dsd> hi i want to set up a dns any assistance

[06:14] <rapha> NEWTOLINUX: what CPU/RAM does your T22 have?
[06:14] <tomy-dsd> nobody knows
[06:14] <HymnToLife> NEWTOLINUX, do you know what chipser there is in your card ?
[06:14] <tomy-dsd> what
[06:14] <foutrelis> mikebot: That's grub, a boot loader. You need to replace Grub with windows' boot loader. That's what the fixmbr command does.
[06:14] <HymnToLife> chipset*
[06:14] <NEWTOLINUX> HymnToLife: yes its atheros
[06:15] <HymnToLife> hmm, I never messed with atheros stuff
[06:15] <foutrelis> mikebot: If you delete your Ubuntu partition you will still be able to boot windows through Grub. :)

[06:16] <mikebot> foutrelis: Yikes, OK, so I should get a boot thing then, right?
[06:16] <foutrelis> syn_jet: So he won't be able to boot?
[06:16] <mikebeecham> FunnyLookinHat: Reading now...however, with my limited knowledge Samba and Cupsys work differently...therefore I would need to essentially set up two printers on the Linux machine upstairs....one for when the machine downstairs is logged into windows, and one for when I am logged into Linux?  Is that right?

[06:16] <rapha> NEWTOLINUX: okay, the T20 here has 700MHz but same amount of RAM... would you say Ubuntu is "crawling slow", "usable" or more like "quick"?
[06:16] <foutrelis> mikebot: Sorry for my BAD advice. Don't delete your Ubuntu partition till you get a windows CD to boot with and run that fixmbr command. :)
[06:16] <syn_jet> foutrelis: atleast I had such probs in the beginning, as erasing ubuntu erases GRUB and hence throw the user with an error
[06:17] <NEWTOLINUX> rapha: i feel its a little faster than XP
[06:17] <mikebot> foutrelis: Hehe, OK... How do I do that command?
[06:17] <NEWTOLINUX> rapha: actually it BARELY ran xp i'd blue screen constantly and running more than 3 programs will totally kill it
[06:17] <rapha> NEWTOLINUX: k thx... cause it's wierd on this T20 it's crawling like I never saw it before. Feels like a 100MHz Pentium 1...
[06:18] <KennethP> foutrelis: fdisk /mbr may be what you are looking for? I'm not sure...
[06:18] <kestaz> jabber + skype is possible ?
[06:18] <syn_jet> mikebot: best is to wait till you get hold of xp installation cd and then after deleting ubuntu, boot into that cd's recovery mode where you are in terminal and then issue fixmbr
[06:18] <ferero> why linux dont have a great games like windows
[06:18] <bigjohnto> why is it when i type clamd i get illegal instructino core dumped?
[06:18] <ferero> like need for speed carboon
[06:18] <bigjohnto> i mean segmentation fault
[06:18] <mikebot> syn_jet: Yikes, OK.
[06:19] <nikin> ferero: ask some game studios about that....
[06:19] <mikebot> foutrelis: syn_jet: Thanks for the help!
[06:19] <ferero> nikin ok
[06:19] <kuma> ok, another question: It's a pain to teach my sister anything about linux, how can i make the mounting of usb drives sudo-less?
[06:20] <syn_jet> mikebot: no prob
[06:20] <barbie> hi everbody i need help please?
[06:20] <bigjohnto> no ideas about clamd?
[06:20] <ferero> nikin i think because linux its not for playing its only for developing
[06:20] <syn_jet> !ask>barbie
[06:20] <barbie> ok im used to windows
[06:20] <barbie> so im lost when it comes to this
[06:20] <poningru> kuma: it shouldnt need sudo
[06:21] <poningru> kuma: you plug it in and it should automagically mount it
[06:21] <barbie> i dont know how to send a comand
[06:21] <poningru> if its usb
[06:21] <poningru> barbie: send a command to?
[06:21] <Khamael_X> barbie:  command for what?
[06:21] <barbie> i dont know how to get updates
[06:21] <RoundyT1> does anyone know of a "NETWORK Mapper program" that is oss?
[06:21] <kuma> poningru: nope, shows that the device is plugged in, but you nedd to do the sudo mount soyou can access it
[06:21] <barbie> like when you go to a web page to fix something it says copy and paste this
[06:21] <Khamael_X> use the synaptic package manager
[06:21] <nikin> ferero: there is no such thing as an OS is designed to do this and that... Linux has OpenGL it supports a lot of network protocols and all... some games like Quake3, ET, or even Doom3 run nice on Linux.. the developer says that they dont want or want to do Linux suppor
[06:21] <nikin> t
[06:22] <RoundyT1> does anyone know of a "NETWORK Mapper program" that is oss? --shows Graphics, workstations, routers, etc?
[06:22] <syn_jet> barbie, 2 ways: via applications-->add/remove-->synaptic or issue this "sudo apt-get upgrade"
[06:22] <erUSUL> barbie: updates should appear automatically for you in your notification area (upp right corner of the screen)
[06:22] <poningru> kuma: are you using ubuntu-desktop?
[06:22] <kuma> poningru: kubuntu-desktop
[06:22] <poningru> right that shouldnt matter
[06:22] <erUSUL> barbie: commands are typed in a terminal emulator (Apps>Accesories)
[06:23] <kuma> poningru: the difference shouldn't be much =/
[06:23] <NEWTOLINUX> my_key: i dunno what you  mean by type ath0 over eth0
[06:23] <poningru> it should have just mounted
[06:23] <erUSUL> !cli > barbie
[06:23] <DevLaVaca> Okay, I'm still not getting this counter script to work.  Here's what I have:
[06:23] <DevLaVaca> #! /bin/bash
[06:23] <DevLaVaca> COUNTER=0
[06:23] <DevLaVaca> while [COUNTER<10] ; do
[06:23] <DevLaVaca> 	echo $COUNTER
[06:23] <DevLaVaca> 	COUNTER='expr $COUNTER+1'
[06:23] <DevLaVaca> 	done

[06:25] <NEWTOLINUX> my_key: my PMs are being blocked i think
[06:25] <Pici> DevLaVaca: To do integer comparisons, you need to use -lt not < .  See `man test` for more documentation.
[06:25] <syn_jet> newtoliux: you have to be registered for PMing
[06:25] <Agrajag> kuma: pmount and pumount should allow ou to mount and unmount a USB device without needing root privileges
[06:25] <barbie> can anyone tell me what to do to fix this?
[06:25] <kuma> Agrajag i see, thanks :)
[06:25] <Agrajag> kuma: in fatc, you shouldn't need them anyway, are they not being mounted automatically?
[06:25] <barbie> in simple termes lol
[06:26] <NEWTOLINUX> syn_jet: how do i register? and does it matter if im using a free webbased irc chat program?
[06:26] <WisH> anyone can help me mount my other HDD? i mounted it some months ago but i cannot remember the command. it is /dev/hdb1

[06:26] <Spliffster> WisH: mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt; # replace /mnt with the directory where you want to have it mounted
[06:27] <Spliffster> WisH: use sudo if you are not root; sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt
[06:27] <NEWTOLINUX> well whatever i dont really feel like going thru all that
[06:27] <NEWTOLINUX> so can someone help me out in here without PMs
[06:28] <barbie> hello????

[06:31] <foutrelis> NEWTOLINUX: Please don't change you nickname more than once while you're in #ubuntu. If you want to try some other nicknames exit the room, find a nickname that is not registered, register it and come back into #ubuntu.
[06:32] <kuma> barbie: sighn?
[06:32] <barbie> i cant even read my mail
[06:33] <barbie> because when i try to read my mail.... it quits
[06:33] <barbie> so what do i do?

[06:33] <SlimeyPete> use a different mail client?
[06:33] <barbie> but its not just my mail
[06:33] <barbie> its everything
[06:33] <barbie> any websight
[06:33] <HyDraGeN> barbie are you talking about using your web browser?
[06:33] <s0nix> Hi, is it possible to disable the option "Show windows from all desktop" in KDE with BERYL ?
[06:34] <barbie> i hit the link......... it quits
[06:34] <SlimeyPete> the browser closes?
[06:34] <chili555> barbie: firefox or opera or...?
[06:34] <linsprb> did any virus detected in linux??
[06:34] <Spliffster> is any one in here using beryl on a laptop with suspend/hibernate ?
[06:34] <t22ubuntu> um okay i registered but how do i login?
[06:34] <HyDraGeN> barbie is it called: Galeon web browser ?
[06:34] <SlimeyPete> linsprb: not yet. Not any that could cause major harm, anyway.
[06:34] <barbie> yes firefox
[06:34] <HyDraGeN> firefox
[06:34] <HyDraGeN> ahumm

[06:35] <syn_jet> hydragen: barbie gets a blank page after signing in, it seems
[06:35] <barbie> to go back... i gotta,, sign bk on
[06:36] <barbie> isnt that weird?
[06:36] <syn_jet> barbie: huh? could you be lil more specific? all are confused, hence the delay in replying
[06:36] <itch^> After installing the nVidia proprietary drivers, it seems that each time I boot my computer, my refresh rate it`s set to 60 Hz? Is there any way to remediate this problem ?
[06:36] <linsprb> y is that there r antivirus..
[06:36] <barbie> ok say i go to myspace.com
[06:37] <barbie> thats an example
[06:37] <vespero> hi, everyone, I have a question about e17 in feisty. 
[06:37] <RoundyT1> WOW---i just watched the nedi.ch movie and i think i just shat myself.....that program is amazing
[06:37] <barbie> ok... i go there... sign in...... it waits a moment... whell its loading..... it quits... blank screen
[06:37] <kitche> linsprb: umm because linux is used as server for windows machines
[06:37] <foutrelis> vespero: Join #ubuntu+1 for feisty related questions :)
[06:37] <Ind[y] > When I check my web-based interface for the router, I see Host Names for other computers, but not for my Ubuntu computer. Why? (hostname is set to my pc, but domain name is not)
[06:38] <smo> i finalize my custom live cd and i want to integrate a anti-virus for ntfs partitions what s the best choice??
[06:38] <SlimeyPete> linsprb: files on linux fileservers might be infected by windows machines. The files  get infected but the server itself won't be affected.
[06:38] <vespero> thank you
[06:38] <barbie> then again.. i go to rnews..... hit the link to see the weather.... it quits... blank screen
[06:38] <foutrelis> vespero: You're welcome.
[06:38] <kitche> Ind[y] : by default dhcpcd does not send hostnames to the dhcp server dhclient does though
[06:38] <syn_jet> barbie: the browser crashes, or you get a blank white page?
[06:38] <Ind[y] > kitche: can I set it to send?
[06:39] <kitche> Ind[y] : with dhclient you can
[06:39] <Ind[y] > kitche: Can I set dhcpcd to send hostnames?
[06:39] <barbie> it signs me off the innernet period
[06:39] <linsprb> ok thanx for the info .........
[06:39] <barbie> i have to go back on
[06:40] <kitche> Ind[y] : as i said only dhclient can do it
[06:40] <Ind[y] > kitche: ok :-/
[06:40] <abisen> how do i identify using a script which ubuntu distribution is installed
[06:40] <jrib> !version | abisen
[06:40] <abisen> with either version numbers like 6.04 6.07 7.04 or by name fiesty
[06:40] <ubotu> abisen: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type  lsb_release -a  in a !shell
[06:41] <abisen> ubot: thanks
[06:41] <barbie> its not a white screen...... it just goes to my desktop
[06:41] <whit__> Can someone help me out?
[06:41] <erUSUL> abisen: lsb_release -r
[06:41] <syn_jet> barbie: are you using feisty fawn?
[06:41] <Marcus_> !version
[06:41] <ubotu> To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type  lsb_release -a  in a !shell
[06:41] <barbie> i dont know what that is i dont think so
[06:42] <foutrelis> !someone | whit__
[06:42] <ubotu> whit__: 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?
[06:42] <Teoma29> can anyone tell me how to get a wireless card to show in network devices (if/iwconfig or admin -> network) device is showing in device manager, but not listed anywhere else
[06:42] <jatt> $ lsb_release
[06:42] <jatt> No LSB modules are available.
[06:42] <underdog5004> I need help getting my philips hdd082 2Gb mp3 player to be recognized correctly. Right now, kubuntu is seeing it as a camera, and I can't do anything with it...
[06:42] <syn_jet> jatt: dont forget the "-a"
[06:42] <gratuit> I'm using aterm, and every time I try to use mc, I get strange characters instead of the normal lines that one would expect, anyone know what might be causing this?
[06:42] <Ind[y] > kitche: -H flag has another point of view, though
[06:42] <jatt> :)
[06:43] <jatt> Description:    Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS
[06:43] <whit__> Haha, clever. Well, I just installed Ubuntu Breezy Badger, and I can't su to install a program... I don't know my root password. I don't remember giving one on the installation.
[06:43] <erUSUL> !sudo | whit__
[06:43] <ubotu> whit__: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[06:43] <foutrelis> !botsnack
[06:43] <ubotu> Yum!
[06:43] <foutrelis> :)
[06:43] <Ind[y] > whit__: sudo passwd root
[06:44] <barbie> soooooo do you know whats wrong?
[06:44] <chili555> barbie: open a terminal; type firefox, when it opens, go to a site you know crashes. after crash, look at terminal for errors we/you can troubleshoot
[06:44] <SlimeyPete> whit__: there is no root password - Ubuntu is designed around the idea that the user shouldn't use a root account. The "ubuntu way" is to us sudo/gksudo instead.
[06:44] <barbie> its everywebsigt i go on
[06:45] <barbie> and what do you meen? terminal? what is that/
[06:45] <erUSUL> Ind[y] : please do not recomend setting root password is not advised for an ubuntu machine and is not needed
[06:45] <whit__> Okay... weird. Thanks, away to try it...
[06:45] <barbie> please excuse my ignorance
[06:45] <Ind[y] > DHCPCD is started on boot automatically, as we all know. But how can I set it to run with specific command-line flags?
[06:45] <kbrosnan> barbie: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox
[06:45] <chili555> barbie: Applications - Accessories -- Terminal
[06:45] <Azzkikr> whit__: use sudo. The password is the same password as the main user your created during installation
[06:45] <Azzkikr> s/your/you
[06:46] <whit__> I used "sudo passwd root" and it prompts "Enter new UNIX password:"
[06:46] <erUSUL> Ind[y] : dhclient
[06:46] <erUSUL> whit__: do not do that
[06:46] <Azzkikr> whit__: DONT set a root passwrord
[06:46] <Ind[y] > erUSUL: This is not a valid answer to my question.
[06:46] <erUSUL> whit__: use sudo, read the web link ubotu told you
[06:46] <whit__> Alright.
[06:47] <Marcus_> !sudo
[06:47] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[06:47] <barbie> ok after i get the terminal.... now what?
[06:47] <foutrelis> barbie: Type in "firefox" (without the quotes) and hit Enter
[06:48] <piglit> annyone here with ubuntu 7.04 ?
[06:48] <whit__> Okay, going to try it.
[06:48] <Glacier> Hey guys
[06:48] <Khamael_X> ahhhh
[06:48] <barbie> nothing
[06:48] <Glacier> Yeah me piglit
[06:48] <mykhul> hi, i have a canon 30d and i'm running ubuntu... i'm very new to photography and i'm wondering how the hell ubuntu knew which photos i took verticle and which photos i took horizontal... can anyone shine some light in on this subject? does my camera know how i held it while taking the pics? or is there some other kind of amazing sh*t going on here?
[06:48] <Khamael_X> why my ubuntu says MAKE is not a valid command
[06:49] <piglit> Glacier: what is the kernel version on the beta?
[06:49] <foutrelis> piglit: You can join #ubuntu+1 :)
[06:49] <barbie> all it did is open my web browser
[06:49] <Pici> mykhul: Yes, the Canons do know which way the camera is being held when the picture is taken, I beleive it stores it in the exif data.
[06:49] <Glacier> I'm trying to install ndiswrapper to use my wireless card, and I've done sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common
[06:49] <erUSUL> Khamael_X: becouse you did not installed it?
[06:49] <foutrelis> Khamael_X: Try sudo aptitude install build-essential
[06:49] <Spliffster> WisH: sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt
[06:50] <foutrelis> Khamael_X: This should give you the tools to build stuff :)
[06:50] <erUSUL> mykhul: that kind of info may be embebed in the .jpeg or .raw or else metadata
[06:50] <Peter77> is there a map program for linux which will display where I am on the map using a tomtom gps?
[06:50] <Khamael_X> foultrelis: thanks! im executing
[06:50] <profiact> hi
[06:50] <foutrelis> Khamael_X: You typed in "MAKE" or "make"?
[06:50] <Khamael_X> make
[06:51] <foutrelis> ok
[06:51] <chili555> barbie: now go to a site you know crashes
[06:51] <Glacier> But it's still not working, my error is: Error: no versions of ndiswrapper found!. Any ideas as to why I am receiving this error?
[06:51] <Khamael_X> foutrelis i know its case sensitive hehehe

[06:58] <ny00123> maybe the source is ready for, um, compilation on FreeBSD where there's another 'make'
[06:58] <ny00123> 'gmake' is the traditional GNU Make
[06:59] <richw> hellooo
[06:59] <ny00123> the following might help though it's manual and doesn't involve any deb installation
[06:59] <richw> anyone get a suspend option on their power down thing?
[06:59] <whit__> So I just need to change the command options to use my distro's version of make?
[06:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about 10x :) - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:59] <ny00123> cd /usr/bin

[07:00] <WindowsUser> has anyone done a hdparm speed test recently? I'm wondering how many mb/s can be read off of the average hard drive
[07:00] <richw> maybe its not there because my computer dont support it properly
[07:00] <ny00123> richw: yes
[07:00] <salty-horse> hi. what's the correct procedure of asking an update of a package to a new available version?
[07:01] <richw> there are 6 icons on mine and you have 7?
[07:01] <ny00123> sorry for repeating but... heheh...

[07:01] <ny00123> (again, without sudo as I've done sudo su ;P)
[07:01] <ny00123> it gets stuck with

[07:02] <ghost> where?
[07:02] <ny00123> ghost, Firefox should be ready with Ubuntu
[07:02] <HymnToLife> ghost, coud=ld you make correct sentence please ?
[07:03] <ghost> i can't english..
[07:03] <ny00123> I've guessed

[07:03] <WindowsUser> ubuntu has firefox by default
[07:03] <ny00123> click on globe
[07:03] <ghost> hm..

[07:03] <ghost> ok
[07:03] <tbuss> I'm about to reinstall edgy and I would like to put my FF bookmarks on an external HDD, I have found a bookmarks.bak file as well as a bookmarksbackup folder consisting of html files. Am I in the right place?
[07:03] <richw> WindowsUser: you mean suspend.. im interested in suspend not hibernate/shutdown ?
[07:03] <miles_> Hello there
[07:03] <miles_> Where is stored Ubuntu's default wallpaper?
[07:04] <syn_jet> tbuss: you can export your bookmarks as html to wherever you want
[07:04] <ny00123> Can someone help me with chroot (amd64; or actually em64t but that's 'the same' ;P)?
[07:04] <XamDM> tbuss, firefox has a import/export option
[07:04] <chili555> tbuss: i would go to Organize Bookmarks and export bookmarks.html
[07:04] <foutrelis> tbuss: Bookmarks -> Organize Bookmarks -> Under the file menu click Export :)
[07:04] <WindowsUser> ny00123: you also posted the wrong arch heh
[07:04] <ny00123> wrong arch? No
[07:04] <chili555> yeah, what he said.
[07:04] <ny00123> i want to install a 32-bit chroot
[07:04] <ny00123> that's why i386
[07:04] <ny00123> I guess -_-
[07:04] <ny00123> (Hmm... should I use i686?)
[07:04] <apokryphos> ubotu: chroot
[07:05] <ubotu> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box
[07:05] <WindowsUser> oic
[07:05] <ny00123> hmm it's for hoary, but should work (I actually used a hoary tutorial :o)
[07:05] <foutrelis> apokryphos: Your nickname is a greek word. :)
[07:05] <tbuss> syn_jet: XamDM: chili555: foutrelis: thanks everyone, I forgot that things can be simple in Linux, used windows for too long
[07:05] <barbie> well it figures when i get help...... it winds up working
[07:05] <foutrelis> tbuss: You're wellcome.
[07:05] <WindowsUser> ny00123: download a livecd and copy the squashfs to chroot, feisty might be screwy for debootstrap until its not beta
[07:05] <apokryphos> foutrelis: I know, because I'm Greek ;)
[07:05] <XamDM> tbuss, ff can do that in windows also ...
[07:05] <apokryphos> foutrelis: #ubuntu-gr
[07:06] <ny00123> apokryphos and ubotu (bot) thx ;P
[07:06] <syn_jet> tbuss: it was the same for FF on XP :P
[07:06] <ny00123> I think it has missing steps, lol
[07:06] <tbuss> XamDM: new to open source, didnt have the pleasure of using ff in windows
[07:06] <foutrelis> apokryphos: Hmmm. I can't find you in #ubuntu-gr :\
[07:06] <WindowsUser> so nobody wants to tell me speed in megabytes for the average hard drive?
[07:07] <syn_jet> tbuss: np, just kidding
[07:07] <apokryphos> foutrelis: forgot to join; in there now

[07:10] <Pici> dogmeat: You can either grep that output for a specific string, or do a web search at http://packages.ubuntu.com/ . Or use one of the GUI front ends for apt.
[07:10] <Trentster> Does anyone know how to create PDF docs under linux with an index on the left that you can click on that will take you to the correct chapter etc..?
[07:10] <dogmeat> Pici: which gui front end?

[07:15] <robdeman> hi folks, how do I add users using the terminal?

[07:15] <Protostar> hello all
[07:15] <richw> if i run feisty beta.. can i upgrade to stable when its out?
[07:15] <ny00123> HI!
[07:15] <Protostar> i'm having a problem with bittorrent on Edgy
[07:15] <grabb> hi; i'm having a little problem with my printer, maybe someone can help me?
[07:16] <Protostar> i'm getting ridiculously low speeds and i know i have my router set up properly
[07:16] <sylvain_> hello how are you?
[07:16] <Protostar> UPnP is enabled and everything
[07:16] <aalhamad> i guess https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/feisty it say it still pending.
[07:16] <chili555> robdeman: adduser? man adduser
[07:16] <foutrelis> richw: I suggest you wait 16 days till stable comes out. :)
[07:16] <robdeman> adduser ehrm ok haha
[07:16] <grabb> I installed my lexmark 5150 using a lexmark z55 driver, its all installed, and i can see it in 'printers' But, when i send something to print nothing happens, the document just sits in the printer box
[07:16] <Protostar> how do you configure the firewall in Kubuntu Edgy
[07:16] <grabb> and doesnt actually come out of the printer
[07:17] <foutrelis> !firestarter | Protostar
[07:17] <ubotu> Protostar: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[07:17] <Ind[y] > foutrelis: I don't think the problem is there. I have main, restricted, universe and multiverse -- all enabled. So, where might the problem be? :/
[07:18] <Protostar> ok, thanks foutrelis
[07:18] <sam000> I try to install eclipse and it says it would conflict with other software. what software conflicts with eclipse
[07:18] <foutrelis> Protostar: No problem.
[07:18] <tbuss> would like to backup evolution so I can do a clean install I found this http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/12/03/how-to-backup-evolution/ but the procedure is for backing up to a system already in use. can I use the same procedure to backup files to a external hdd and when I reinstall use the backup
[07:19] <foutrelis> Ind[y] : Open synaptic and go to Settings -> Repositories. Under the "Internet Updates" tab, is "Backported updates" enabled?
[07:20] <somafm> hmm
[07:20] <foutrelis> Ind[y] : I can't think of anything else.
[07:20] <gizmo_the_great1> hi. I noticed some long delays with my reiser FS on one of my IDE disks. I unmou8nted it and ran "sudo reiserfsck --rebuild-tree /dev/hda1". To say it took along time is an underestimate. It's taken about 5 days (disk is 160Gb with about 30Gb of data). Does this sound normal? I did get a warning saying : "Warning: The dma on your hard drive is turned off. This may really slow down the fsck process. "
[07:20] <tbuss> I know if I used outlook I could backup the pst file, does evolution have something similar
[07:20] <kestaz> how to get latest kernel git ?
[07:20] <Dell-Net> hi,is it better to do a new install to feisty from edge or does the upgrade work fine ?
[07:20] <WindowsUser> gizmo_the_great1: so turn on dma
[07:21] <Ind[y] > foutrelis: that was it. thank you
[07:21] <gizmo_the_great1> WindowsUser: You know how?
[07:21] <WindowsUser> hdparm /dev/drive(hda) -d 1
[07:21] <Dell-Net> what do u recomend
[07:21] <grabb> anyone?
[07:22] <foutrelis> Dell-Net: Both ways are fine :)
[07:22] <sam000> I try to install eclipse and it says it would conflict with other software. what software conflicts with eclipse
[07:22] <WindowsUser> Dell-Net: upgrade saves annoyance of configuring everything
[07:22] <Dell-Net> foutrelis: yeah ?
[07:22] <Dell-Net> and it works ?
[07:22] <samuraya> how i separate the root user of the account created on installation?
[07:22] <shani> hi room
[07:23] <foutrelis> Dell-Net: It should work :)
[07:23] <Dell-Net> :-p
[07:23] <foutrelis> Dell-Net: Personally I will do a fresh installation. Only because I have used Automatix for many stuff in Edgy.
[07:23] <Dell-Net> oki 16 days and counting to upgrade :-p
[07:23] <WindowsUser> sam000: you tell us, it usually tells you
[07:23] <WindowsUser> samuraya: what?
[07:23] <WindowsUser> ewwwwwwwwwwwwww
[07:23] <WindowsUser> foutrelis: did you clean your computer after that?
[07:23] <samuraya> i want to loggin with root
[07:24] <Dell-Net> su
[07:24] <Pici> samuraya: Why not use sudo?
[07:24] <sam000> This application conflicts with other installed software. To install 'eclipse' the conflicting software must be removed before.
[07:24] <sam000> Switch to the advanced mode to resolve this conflict.
[07:24] <WindowsUser> samuraya: in the gui login? its in /etc/gdm.conf but these guys will tell you to use sudo for everything
[07:24] <samuraya> because i want use root
[07:24] <samuraya> as suse
[07:24] <Dell-Net> u need to create a pass for su
[07:24] <kestaz> how to get latest kernel git ?
[07:24] <Dell-Net> root account
[07:24] <Pici> !sudo | samuraya
[07:24] <ubotu> samuraya: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[07:24] <raboof> what tools let me conveniently scan the area for accesspoints and connect to them?
[07:24] <samuraya> is more easy for me at time to do somethings
[07:25] <WindowsUser> see, they love the su
[07:25] <dyrne> samuraya: you need to set a passwd for root using sudo to disable it again do sudo passwd -l root    i think is correct
[07:25] <Dell-Net> sudo its easier
[07:25] <foutrelis> WindowsUser: *sudo :D
[07:25] <samuraya> ok
[07:25] <WindowsUser> I dont have sudo, i'm a windows user
[07:25] <samuraya> tks boddy
[07:25] <foutrelis> WindowsUser: And yes, things should be done the right way :P
[07:25] <Pici> samuraya: Theres information in the link that ubotu posted on how to enable root if needed.
[07:25] <WindowsUser> best. excuse. ever.
[07:26] <Dell-Net> :p

[07:26] <ny00123> What do you mean?
[07:26] <chili555> raboof: wifi-radar is one...
[07:26] <ny00123> oh, oops, sorry

[07:27] <freezey> i am looking for the GLIBC package does anybody know the package name?
[07:27] <WindowsUser> ny00123: its beta, and not done yet, also debootstrap isn't the right way of doing uh... things
[07:27] <deep> Hi there. :)
[07:27] <Dell-Net> what is the diff between aptitude and apt-get
[07:27] <apokryphos> !faq | robdeman
[07:27] <ubotu> robdeman: faq is http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions Official documentation is at http://help.ubuntu.com IRC FAQ: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRCResourcePage
[07:27] <WindowsUser> ny00123: from the perspective of installing stuff I mean
[07:27] <apokryphos> Dell-Net: /msg ubotu aptitude
[07:27] <ny00123> kk
[07:27] <ferret> freezey: libc5?
[07:27] <WindowsUser> ny00123: if you plop down the contents of a livecd you dont have to worry about debootstrap not working ;)
[07:28] <ny00123> ohhh i see. but i mean
[07:28] <samuraya> ready
[07:28] <freezey> ferret: na thats not it
[07:28] <Dell-Net> so its smarter to use aptitude ?
[07:28] <ferret> freezey: uhh, or 6
[07:28] <Dell-Net> *so
[07:28] <skuti> o
[07:28] <deep> I'm having trouble with my soundcard. syslog sais something about "AC'97 interface is busy"
[07:28] <apokryphos> Dell-Net: not always
[07:28] <WindowsUser> foutrelis: i mostly help out with problems that the bot cant solve
[07:28] <samuraya> all is koool, now i can acces with root and rootpasswd
[07:28] <ny00123> first I should set up chroot (i might not be able to simple --force-architecture; 32-bit libs might get installed into /usr/lib which is for 64-bit stuff)
[07:28] <WindowsUser> !omgsolution noob
[07:28] <Pici> sam000: Try installing eclipse from the command line, `sudo aptitude install elcipse` and !pastebin the errors
[07:28] <WindowsUser> whoops
[07:28] <cyt> Dell-Net: I think the most difference is that aptitude automatically track what packages are not needed by other pkgs, and will let you remove them.
[07:29] <apokryphos> WindowsUser: what are you doing?
[07:29] <WindowsUser> ny00123: if you copy the squashfs stuffs over, into /chroot, thats your chroot
[07:29] <Dell-Net> ok
[07:29] <tomy-dsd> i want to set up a dns any assistance
[07:29] <sam000> thanks Pici it's working
[07:29] <freezey> ferret: yeah i already have it installed and i knew it.... i am gettin these erros that are making no sense at all
[07:29] <foutrelis> WindowsUser: Just because you know more than someone else, it's not right to make fun of him :(
[07:29] <WindowsUser> apokryphos: helping someone with cavalier advice,  and getting in trouble with people
[07:30] <ferret> freezey: If you know one of the files you need then you could ask packages.ubuntu.com (the second section iirc)
[07:30] <ny00123> k WindowsUser
[07:30] <ny00123> maye I should wait a few days(?)
[07:30] <ny00123> *maybe
[07:30] <ny00123> lol
[07:30] <kestaz> how to get latest kernel git ?
[07:30] <ferret> freezey: You are trying to compile things?
[07:30] <freezey> ferret: just odd cause i know its installed
[07:30] <delmorep> http://www.ubuntu.com !
[07:30] <apokryphos> WindowsUser: just please be polite and leave offtopic talk to #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:31] <WindowsUser> apokryphos: what have I said thats offtopic?
[07:31] <freezey> ferret: i am trying to run rpm -i on this one file and it keeps coming back that it needs these certain files but they are on my system
[07:31] <delmorep> whats the main ubuntu website?

[07:40] <Spliffster> fewqe: you do not want to install bery, do you ?

[07:41] <fewqe> that it passes the rendering proccess to cpu instead of the gpu
[07:41] <foutrelis> I installed vim-python but I don't know how to used it in Gvim. Has anyone use it before?
[07:41] <fewqe> so i am trying to change AIGLX to XGL
[07:41] <foutrelis> *how to use
[07:41] <fewqe> anyone knows how?
[07:42] <riaal_> how do I make the tumbnails for avi files work?
[07:42] <Spliffster> somafm: /sys and /proc are special filesytems representing the system (/sys) or running processes (/proc) ... you can read a lot of realtime system and process information (usually with cat) from these filesystems
[07:43] <somafm> alright cool, was reading that thread on ubuntuforums about backups, was wondering why they excluded it 8)

[07:49] <expose> hi
[07:49] <expose> is there a way to install both 32bit and 64bit JVMs at the same time on debian? and, is there a tool to select the currently used VM then?
[07:50] <Pici> holycow: Perhaps .bash_history
[07:50] <duarte> hola
[07:50] <theacolyte> holycow: Pici is correct, it's .bash_history in your home directory
[07:50] <theacolyte> expose: not that I'm aware of
[07:51] <Dell-Net> easy way to install xen on ubuntu ?
[07:51] <holycow> oh okay

[07:51] <DShepherd> when your apt-get source for a package.. where is it stored on the filesystem?
[07:52] <theacolyte> chili555: damn, that's a nice command, never knew
[07:52] <duarte> thks
[07:52] <DShepherd> s/your/you
[07:52] <bigjohnto> so, how do i setup my eth0 with a specific gateway?
[07:52] <fx> Hi all.. Newbie user here, but I just did a new install, and now I have attempted to start an eggdrop from the machine.  However, I only want selected hosts to be able to connect to the listen port (to avoid brute-forcers) so I added ####:ALL to my /etc/hosts.deny but it is still wide open accepting connections from ANYONE, because I haven't even created the hosts.allow yet.  What is going on?
[07:52] <Pici> DShepherd: /var/cache/apt/archives/
[07:52] <chili555> ty
[07:53] <bigjohnto> ?
[07:53] <Pici> DShepherd: er, I think, I missed the part about source in your question.
[07:53] <theacolyte> fx: are you trying to deny all:all?
[07:53] <DShepherd> Pici, yeah i think you did.. do you know the answer anyways?
[07:53] <fx> theacolyte: i wanted to deny ALL from connecting to lets say port 10000 (ALL except people I explicitly allow in hosts.allow)
[07:54] <Pici> DShepherd: I dont know off the top of my head, sorry.
[07:54] <theacolyte> fx: so for a specific port, not an explicit statement stating deny all traffic except these hosts?
[07:55] <theacolyte> fx: honestly for a more secure system, youd want to do something like /etc/hosts.deny ALL:ALL /etc/hosts.allow ALL: IP/Domain/Etc
[07:55] <DShepherd> Pici, ok
[07:55] <fx> err, i am not sure.  What I tried was entering "10000:ALL" in my /etc/hosts.deny and planned to add things like "10000: 74.123.123.*" to allow those people
[07:55] <theacolyte> Ah
[07:55] <theacolyte> fx: IIRC, I'm 99% sure that you can't do ports in hosts.deny. It's an explicit rule for an entire IP/Range/Domain/etc
[07:56] <theacolyte> fx: you'd have to use a firewall for granular control
[07:56] <fx> ouch
[07:56] <fx> okay well thanks :(
[07:56] <ny00123> HEY WindowsUser and the others
[07:56] <ny00123> I could get a basic chroot environment this time somehow :O
[07:56] <ny00123> :D
[07:57] <ny00123> (maybe because I've just upgraded 13 packages in the 'real' 64-bit environment too)
[07:58] <foutrelis> I got python syntax highlighting in vim. Cool :P
[07:59] <DShepherd> hehe....
[08:00] <DShepherd> when one apt-gets source for a package.. where is it stored on the filesystem?
[08:00] <Sgeo> Bye
 DShepherd: /var/cache/apt/archives/
[08:01] <DShepherd> theacolyte, that's where the source is downloaded to?
[08:01] <aricz> Humm, how do I get rid of the pc-speaker beeping in the terminal?
[08:01] <theacolyte> DShepherd: yes.
[08:01] <dyrne> DShepherd: it normally creates a dir in whatever folder youre at. at least with the -b flag
[08:01] <DShepherd> dyrne, ok..
[08:01] <DShepherd> theacolyte, ok
[08:01] <foutrelis> aricz: In gnome's terminal?
[08:02] <eNons3nse> i'm having a wifi problem with my laptop.  it's got an internal card (broadcom) which is showing up in my device manager & iwconfig but it seems like it just won't turn on.  it worked fine in windows so it's not broken.

[08:02] <fr3ak> can anyone tell me if SATA hard drive is 100% compatible with 6.10 ubuntu server install?
[08:02] <raptor2552> i was about to ask that
[08:03] <foutrelis> aricz: There is a way. It was asked in the past and we had found the solution. Hmmm.. Give me some time to find it again :P
[08:03] <chili555> aricz: open terminal edit default profile , turn off bell
[08:03] <rockzman> raptor2552 then we hope someone answers ;p
[08:03] <raptor2552> what ever
[08:03] <rockzman> Can someone tell me if SATA hard drivers are 100% supported on Ubuntu-server (6.10) kernel?
[08:03] <theacolyte> rockzman: The drives you don't have to worry about, it's the controller

[08:08] <theacolyte> Enough.

[08:09] <brad_>  I got a question about the X server... I am trying to figure out how this works by playing around with it... and I wanted to see if it was possible to open like openoffice or GIMP in just the X windows system (without gnome or KDE)...  But when I swtich to a terminal and type in like "openoffice" or "xterm" (anything) it says it cannot find the Display.
[08:09] <brad_> can anyone help?
[08:10] <dyrne> profiact: ubuntu has a great number of packages available so most anything you can do out of the box in another linux you can do in ubuntu ;p

[08:10] <brophat> when you install fluxbox does it create an entry in kde or gnome menu that allows you to change from gnome or kde to fluxbox ?
[08:10] <ardchoille> brad_: From what I have learned, you need to have kernel framebuffer enabled and compile apps with libsvga so they can run in a tty.
[08:11] <theacolyte> !br
[08:11] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigado.
[08:11] <ardchoille> brophat: It did for Dapper.

[08:11] <ubotu> Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl
[08:11] <brophat> ardchoille kool
[08:12] <foutrelis> brophat: I think after you install fluxbox you can choose it in gdm's menu (where you login). Options -> Sessions (something like this)
[08:12] <mweichert> help! after installing feisty, in firefox pages only partially load and then "hang" ?!?!
[08:12] <brad_> ardchoille : hey... so there is no way to just start an X server and then launch like Xterm in it?
[08:13] <mweichert> is this an ipv6 problem?

[08:13] <foutrelis> mweichert: You're welcome :)
[08:13] <ardchoille> brad_: I believe so.. but I'm not that good with those things. Someone in here was recently saying you don't even need x to run apps.

[08:14] <theacolyte> RoundyT1: Nessus, Cacti. I use Nessus/Cacti personally

[08:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cacti - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:14] <theacolyte> aricz: $home is a variable -- it's whatever your home directory is -- you can type cd to get to it

[08:15] <RoundyT1> what the heck? what's going on now?
[08:15] <Shrimpy_> hello people. i was wonderfing if any body compiles databases. and what a good program would be. i use the open office and it was not too bad. any suggestions?
[08:15] <theacolyte> RoundyT1: cacti.org / nessus.org
[08:15] <theacolyte> RoundyT1: heh, not nessus, nagios
[08:15] <foutrelis> ubotu: He didn't mean that 'stupid' thing. We all love you :)
[08:15] <aricz> theacolyte: I'm not sure, hehe, but a file that runs on startup.. so I can set 'setterm -blength 0'

[08:16] <freezey> how do you update your java with ubuntu?
[08:16] <theacolyte> aricz: iirc, you can use .bashrc
[08:16] <aricz> theacolyte : okioki, thank you, I'll try
[08:17] <theacolyte> RoundyT1: I use a combination of Nagios/Splunk/Cacti for monitoring (with lots of addons) -- it's my ghetto version of HPOV
[08:17] <yell0w> freezey, aptitude search java , pick one, install
[08:17] <ploom> htut
[08:17] <theacolyte> It's pretty involved to set up but once you get it in place it's truely nice
[08:17] <brophat> foutrelis what is the gdm menu?
[08:17] <foutrelis> broedje: The stage where you login.
[08:18] <aricz> Woho, it worked
[08:18] <theacolyte> aricz: :)
[08:18] <yell0w> theacolyte, what's the difference between that soup and other stuff like nmap/snort ?
[08:18] <theacolyte> yell0w: nmap/snort/nessus are security scanners
[08:19] <theacolyte> yell0w: technically snort is on it's own, it's an IPS/IDS (intrusion protection/detection)
[08:19] <Pici> theacolyte: I was under the impression that snort was an IDS.
[08:19] <dyrne> freezey: i believe the update-alternatives will allow you to setup links  --list java or --config i believe
[08:19] <theacolyte> Pici: ^
[08:19] <jerkface03> Hey guys I just installed ftpd. I want to login as root, does anyone know how? I never really got a root l/p when installing ubuntu, I was just told to use sudo.
[08:19] <Pici> theacolyte: I saw ;)
[08:19] <theacolyte> hehe
[08:19] <ardchoille> snort is an intrusion detection system isn't it?
[08:19] <theacolyte> I use Cisco's IPS personally... expensive, but very, very, very powerful, nice, fast, etc
[08:19] <yell0w> theacolyte, how about the stuff that you souped up ?
[08:19] <dyrne> jerkface03: that is not a good idea for a box exposed to internet
[08:19] <dyrne> jerkface03: or wireless
[08:20] <Shrimpy_> anyone know of a good databas program?
[08:20] <Shrimpy_> *database
[08:20] <RoundyT1> theacolyte, is it hard to install? does it need a db?
[08:20] <jerkface03> dyrne, I didn't ask you for security advice.
[08:20] <dyrne> jerkface03: you wont get anymore then :)
[08:20] <theacolyte> yell0w: Well, cacti is a graphic package, like mrtg, uses snmpwalk and rrdtool. Nagios is a monitoring tool, and Splunk is used for syslogging/log correlatio
[08:21] <jerkface03> Does anyone know? Maybe another ftpd server like proftpd would let me access files as root?
[08:21] <theacolyte> RoundyT1: cacti? yes you do. And I wouldn't recommend using apt-get to install it either. I made that mistake once
[08:21] <RoundyT1> so...does it automatically "graph" your topology?
[08:22] <theacolyte> RoundyT1: automatic... no... although you can get a plugin that will I guess, never played with it -- check out cactiusers.org
[08:22] <aricz> jerkface03: 'sudo passwd root' .. I think, not sure..
[08:22] <jerkface03> i just need a way to transfer svn repos for backup
[08:22] <jerkface03> aricz, What's that do?
[08:22] <theacolyte> It's called Discovery iirc. Cacti isn't for the faint of heart by the way
[08:22] <RoundyT1> i don't have db access. unfortunately
[08:22] <ardchoille> aricz: Please don't tell others how to enable root, it's not recommended and a bad idea.
[08:22] <theacolyte> RoundyT1: you're probably SOL, all the tools I listed above use mysql except splunk
[08:24] <RauBn> part
[08:24] <Pici> theacolyte: Splunk isnt free/open is it?
[08:24] <RoundyT1> theacolyte, dang
[08:25] <theacolyte> Pici: the first level is, you can still use it, it's not really crippled
[08:25] <theacolyte> I don't push enough log data to need professional
[08:25] <theacolyte> not to mention their professional version is more than Cisco's MARS iirc
[08:26] <Pici> theacolyte: Hm.. I'll take a look at it
[08:26] <theacolyte> I *love* it
[08:26] <theacolyte> instantly indexed, referenced syslogging database
[08:26] <brophat> can you turn off the desktop and work from the terminal?
[08:26] <deep> I'm having an FM801 soundcard, and the sound is really low and _really_ bad, any idea why?
[08:26] <theacolyte> I use it for tracking VPN sessions, ACL issues, etc
[08:27] <deep> I've checked alsamixer, but the "pcw" and "volume" is'nt showing, at all.
[08:27] <theacolyte> brophat: try hitting ctrl-alt-f1 and see if that works, ctrl-alt-f7 to get back
[08:27] <sepho> hi all
[08:27] <sepho> anybody knows why i get this error? -> beryl: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing (I've radeon 9800 PRO) and ubuntu edgy
[08:27] <brophat> theacolyte I don't have ubuntu; I am trying to decide whether to use it.
[08:28] <theacolyte> brophat: if you truely don't want a GUI at all, check out ubuntu-server. I use it on my servers.
[08:28] <brophat> theacolyte i want gui sometimes
[08:28] <DsB> hi every one
[08:28] <theacolyte> brophat: well either way is good, it just depends on your package selection
[08:29] <Shrimpy_> i love ubuntu.  it offers a nice for non- programmers and also nice for porogrammers
[08:29] <brophat> theacolyte so i can turn off gui whenever I want and turn it on again?
[08:29] <DsB> how in ubuntu server edition i can see the ip parameters like ipconfig of windows???????????????????????????
[08:29] <kny> heya.... i think someone in here might be able to give me a hint - i'm looking for some framework to make an old laptop usable as a living room information station.... like, a media player, email alerts, custom stuff (maybe scriptable, python or anything handy)....have you got any idea if there is something suitable already of how to start? (of curse
[08:29] <kny> (of course, a normal linux desktop would do, but-....)
[08:29] <theacolyte> brophat: yes
[08:29] <Ali_ix> DsB: there is ifconfgi command
[08:29] <dyrne> brophat: i start all my installs with the server then apt-get the packages as i need. at most for server id install xubuntu-desktop just for ease of use. normally just fluxbox and xserver
[08:30] <DsB> thks ali_ix
[08:30] <theacolyte> kny: check out myth tv
[08:30] <sepho> anybody knows why i get this error? -> beryl: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing (I've radeon 9800 PRO) and ubuntu edgy
[08:30] <kny> theacolyte, thanks, i'll check it
[08:30] <theacolyte> DsB: ifconfig -a -- there is a support channel for ubuntu-server (#ubuntu-server)
[08:30] <Ali_ix> sepho: try #beryl channel for detailed help
[08:31] <kny> there's no tv card, tho...mainly thought about audio usage
[08:31] <putrid_potato> Hi. How can i type a hash on a macbook keyboard in ubuntu? (I think it's known as a pound sign in the US, like a tic-tac-toe board!). In OS X it's alt-3.
[08:31] <brophat> dyrne ok so ubuntu desktop is flexable in the manner.
[08:31] <Shrimpy_> does anybody here mess around with making database's? (going to make one for a used book store) (need help picking right software)
[08:31] <theacolyte> kny: iirc, you can use the front end of mythtv from the machine, but I'm not exactly sure
[08:31] <dyrne> brophat: the default ubuntu-desktop is gnome and openoffice and alot of nice desktop apps. it works fine as as server but you might not want all of it
[08:32] <brophat> dyrne i do want all of that, but I want to be able to turn the gui off and use just the terminal when I want. does ubunut allow for that?
[08:32] <mikeconcepts> I have a vox usb 2 tv tuner, any chance getting it to work?
[08:33] <kaushal> Hi
[08:33] <Priddo> Hi
[08:33] <kaushal> when LPI 199 is going to be launched in India
[08:33] <jerkface03> I noticed that open-sshd doesn't have an xinetd entry. Does anyone know how/where it gets run from when the system boots up?
[08:34] <dyrne> brophat: turning the gui on/off is a simple as 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop' or start or restart
[08:34] <theacolyte> kaushal: I think you'd probably have to call Canonical about that one. Doubt anyone here would know the answer to that.
[08:34] <goomie> how would i set X to use 70hz for its hsync and vsync (or do you want a range?).  I have a nvidia card with twinview set up.
[08:34] <jerkface03> should I be using xinetd or should I just be using inetd? And which version of inetd should I be using? there's like 4 different ones that I can apt-get install?
[08:35] <brophat> dyrne ok kool. and when i turn off the gui i get the entire screen as one big terminal?
[08:35] <Ali_ix> goomie: you may try binary nvidia drivers that provides a control panel (graphical)
[08:35] <pie-rat1> i installed ubuntu on a 1920x1200 screen, and now i'm on a 1280x1024 screen, and the bootsplash makes the monitor go out of range
[08:35] <dyrne> brophat: yes but you can leave gui on also and do alt-ctrl-f1 through f5 which are all virtual terminals while the gui is running on f7
[08:36] <goomie> ali_ix: Do i still want a range or can i set it to use 70?
[08:36] <Ali_ix> goomie: you can also find the default resoloution/refresh rate in config edotor under desktop>screen
[08:36] <Kmjohnson> same hee
[08:36] <robinlinth_> Democracy Player wants to install the Mozilla suite.. What gives? How to prevent that
[08:36] <Ali_ix> goomie: using config editor you can set default rate as a value
[08:36] <Kmjohnson> with the monitor
[08:36] <goomie> ali_ix: im just wondering cuz one monitor looks as though its using a slow rate and is causing things to like blur
[08:36] <flppr> Hello
[08:36] <goomie> ali_ix: thanks
[08:36] <dyrne> brophat: sorry dont know how familiar you are with linux
[08:37] <brophat> dyrne ok that is kool I did not know that. I am using fluxbox on slackware right now. you mean i could do that now if I wanted?
[08:37] <flppr> I crewed something up and need help
[08:37] <brophat> dyrne or is that a function of ubuntu that allows you to do that?
[08:38] <dyrne> brophat: yeah f1-f7 in ubuntu but on my slack box it is the same

[08:53] <bigjohnto> how do you make all trafic that comes on an internal connection go out another nic
[08:53] <bigjohnto> internal nic - external nic
[08:53] <bigjohnto> same box
[08:53] <bigjohnto> i have the default route set up on that box to go to the external nic
[08:53] <Ali_ix> bigjohnto: do you need to share internet access?
[08:53] <bigjohnto> and the default route on another box to go to the internal nic of the box that also has the external nic
[08:53] <bigjohnto> yes
[08:53] <bigjohnto> i am using ipf
[08:54] <bigjohnto> so i have ipnat setup as well
[08:54] <flppr> What do I do if I accidently changed my user's home folder to a drectory that doesnt exist???
[08:54] <NefariousPrior> What is the loading image that shows when gnome is starting up called and good lord how do I change it?  lol
[08:54] <flppr> i cant get back in my account
[08:54] <MadDog011> I can't install kubuntu, the installation FREEZES on downloading package lists... what am I doing wrong
[08:54] <CapaH> Hey all, I am wondering if someone here can help me on something with Ubuntu. I received an email today from someone who says "I will need your public PGP key so I can encrypt on this side" -- regarding them sending me a PGP email. Using Ubuntu I have no idea how to do this, can anyone here help point me in the right direction? It would be greatly appreciated.
[08:55] <Ali_ix> bigjohnto: well, i am not guru on iptables rules
[08:55] <kbidd> flppr, you can edit the home folder in the /etc/passwd file
[08:55] <kbidd> flppr, and reset it to the correct folder
[08:55] <Ali_ix> flppr: try to change it back with root account, cant you?
[08:55] <bigjohnto> well is it needed to setup bridging or no?
[08:55] <flppr> can i do that on a non-admin account?
[08:55] <bigjohnto> i would think not
[08:55] <flppr> or the recover mode
[08:56] <kbidd> flppr, nope... would need root
[08:56] <dennda> recover mode is admin mode
[08:56] <Ali_ix> NefariousPrior: it is called splash screen
[08:56] <MadDog011> I can't install kubuntu, the installation FREEZES on downloading package lists... what am I doing wrong
[08:56] <andrei> andrei
[08:56] <Ali_ix> NefariousPrior: search in synaptic for proper package and customize it
[08:56] <flppr> how do i edt the file?
[08:56] <dennda> flppr, do "sudo nano /etc/passwd"
[08:56] <dennda> no
[08:56] <dennda> forget about the sudo
[08:57] <flppr> in the recover terminal?
[08:57] <andrei> bla bla bla bla
[08:57] <dennda> just "nano /etc/passwd". save the file with CTRL+O
[08:57] <dennda> flppr, yes
[08:57] <Ali_ix> !spam
[08:57] <ubotu> Unsure how you should behave on this channel? See !CoC, !Guidelines, !Offtopic, !Language, !Attitude, !Repeat, !Enter, !Paste, !NickSpam, !AskTheBot - and most importantly, use common sense :-)
[08:57] <kbidd> flppr, yeah, if you have root, you can just type "nano /etc/passwd"... the format of the file should be pretty obvious, but if you have any questions about it, just ask
[08:57] <dennda> flppr, nano is a console based text editor like vi
[08:58] <dennda> kbidd, if you start ubuntu in recover-mode you are automatically logged in as root@localhost, aren't you?
[08:58] <flppr> ok ill give it a try
[08:58] <Ali_ix> dennda: yes,
[08:58] <flppr> thnks
[08:58] <dennda> flppr, good luck
[08:59] <kbidd> dennda, yeah, i typed my response saying you needed root before i saw his question about using recover-mode
[08:59] <dennda> kbidd, i see :)
[08:59] <sp00n1na70r> any one know any good site about compiling a custom kernel
[08:59] <NefariousPrior> Ali_ix: What is this proper package you speak of?  I see no alternate splashscreens to install.
[08:59] <Ali_ix> sp00n1na70r: google it.. try debian admin site
[09:00] <dougsko> Bsims: /etc/fstab
[09:00] <Ali_ix> NefariousPrior: check if tehre is SlashScreen option in System>preferences menue
[09:00] <Bsims> dougsko: for random usb drives?
[09:00] <kbidd> not ubuntu related, but does anyone have advice on a good linux distrobution that would work on a computer with an incredibly small amount of ram (64M)
[09:01] <Ali_ix> NefariousPrior: if you have it you can download additional screens from art.gnome.org and customize it
[09:01] <dougsko> Bsims: im not sure, maybe not though
[09:01] <NefariousPrior> Ali_ix: thanks
[09:01] <esheldon> kbidd: perhaps DSL
[09:01] <Bsims> kbidd: DSL, or feather linux
[09:01] <Pici> kbidd: I've heard alot of people have success with DSL (damn small linux) for computer of that speed.
[09:01] <spikeb> kbidd, damn small linux. http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/

[09:22] <arv3n> Hi, can anyone tell me why I have to enable SW Single Processor mode in my BIOS just to BOOT Ubuntu?
[09:22] <help1> any idea why i cant type when i try to login to edgy
[09:22] <Pici> srecko: LTS is currently 6.06
[09:22] <sogen> can someone help me /
[09:22] <raindo1> In 6.10 I get the following line when I load Firefox.
[09:22] <raindo1> /usr/lib/libkdeui.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN7KGlobal23unregisterStaticDeleterEP18KStaticDeleterBase
[09:22] <raindo1> /usr/lib/kde3/plugins/styles/domino.so could not be unloaded
[09:22] <raindo1> I have both a gnome and Kde session.  Why would a kde style be needed to load during Firefox startup in Ubuntu?
[09:22] <sogen> can someone help me ?*

[09:23] <burkmat> Need help getting my USB Headset to work in Ubuntu.
[09:23] <Bsims> arv3n: maybe it ships with a uni-processor kernel

[09:23] <ubotu> jetscreamer: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[09:24] <abelard> How do I boot from an external drive if the BIOS does not look for USB drives?
[09:24] <arv3n> Bsims, I am running on Feisty 7.04
[09:24] <jetscreamer> burkmat: usually for me, it's just a matter of telling the program to use hw:1 instead of hw:0
[09:24] <sogen> i have problem with running Xes have some freambufer errro can someone help me out ?
[09:24] <Bsims> arv3n: yeah, and... what does uname -a say?

[09:25] <esheldon> sogen: try 'sudo modprobe nvidiafb' and then 'startx'
[09:25] <rickjones> <- using edgy, mplayer not playing an image file of a movie like before, suggestions are needed to help resolve this matter. thx in advance
[09:25] <jetscreamer> no you quite probably do NOT want nvidiafb
[09:25] <r3zon8> how can i add more 'desktops, im only able to click 2 desktops in the lower right hand of the screen?
[09:25] <jetscreamer> unless you have a riva maybe
[09:25] <Bsims> arv3n: Hrm beats me then its using a smp kernel
[09:25] <burkmat> Jetscreamer: Not too pro when it comes to Linux at all. Xine-ui is something I have or will I have to get it?
[09:25] <arv3n> That's what I thought. >_>
[09:25] <help1> any idea why i cant type when i try to login to edgy
[09:25] <jetscreamer> there's a setting for that in preferences r3zon8

[09:28] <help1> it worked fine when i was installing
[09:29] <kbidd>  installing from the live cd says that the min system requirements is 128M... When I was talking on #fluxbuntu, someone said this might just be for the installer, and that I could run it on a system with less if i used the "alternitive" installer cd... can anyone confirm/deny this?
[09:29] <esheldon> sacater: no, ask your question in here, perhaps it will help someone else
[09:29] <bbm4n> guys is there any other way to make it work?
[09:29] <Bsims> r3zon8: use goggle image search its what I did
[09:29] <r3zon8> thanks
[09:29] <Bsims> bbm4n: make what work
[09:29] <bbm4n> the crappy apt packager
[09:29] <sogen> esheldon: and then ?
[09:29] <bbm4n> adept manager i mean
[09:29] <Bsims> bbm4n: Yeah use synaptic
[09:29] <JensenDied> the 128Mb is for a default graphical install, it says 64mb for cmdline install
[09:29] <joejaxx> kbidd: yes that is how it works
[09:29] <help1> i installed the desktop ed and it works fine
[09:29] <esheldon> sogen: there may be an answer in those results
[09:30] <JensenDied> I dont know if those limits are suggestions or mandatory though
[09:30] <esheldon> sogen: i am looking
[09:30] <kbidd> JensenDied, but will gdm run on a system with less than 128M after I get it installed?
[09:30] <bbm4n> ok thanks
[09:30] <joejaxx> kbidd: the live cd installer takes up a lot more ram that the debian-installer
[09:30] <sacater> esheldon: OK, my xserver seems bad (i could say worse), when i go to <ctrl><alt><f1> my monitor gives me an 'OUT OF RANGE' message, the same when i shut my machine down, my question is..... can i have the xserver 'reset' itself, scan for devices and fix itself, can i do anthing manually
[09:30] <bzaks> I hope this is simple, but I was just curious if there was a way for one to mount an iso and make ubuntu think it's a CD?
[09:30] <AlbertoP> where can I find a list of the news introduced in feisty?
[09:30] <monia> :)
[09:30] <sogen> esheldon: ok (links is realy disgusting and realy angry me :D)
[09:31] <syn_jet> anybody have any idea on how to insert the module into the kernel while booting? I have fnfxd modules installed but it isnt getting activated..
[09:31] <kbidd> joejaxx, i understand that... my question is will the graphical system work on a system with less than 128M after installing.
[09:31] <JensenDied> kbidd: dunno, i dont have a system with under 128Mb ram and thus have not tested it. if you use the alt cd, you can login at a terminal and use startx if gdm refuses
[09:31] <help1> do i need to hit a key to login or something
[09:31] <kbidd> JensenDied, k, thanks
[09:31] <dougsko> kbidd: you probly dont want to run gdm, just X like JensenDied said
[09:31] <raindo1> I was recently creating a new profile and migrating my bookmarks, cookies, and saved passwords to it.  After doing so, Firefox will no longer do dns lookups correctly.  However, Konqueror is capable of dns lookup still.  I'm not sure how I could have messed up Firefox by simply messing with my profile.  I have created a clean, new profile and the result it the same.  I am using Ubuntu 6.10 and FIrefox 2.0.0.3.  Any help would be greatly apprecia
[09:31] <ambimom> help1:  are you able to see your name?  if so...hit return
[09:31] <pinchmesh> sacater, edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf (backup the original first); gedit is a good editor
[09:32] <riaal> anyone know if it is possible to see if someonw is blocking you on MSN messenger? (offtopic, sorry)
[09:32] <Bsims> sacater: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:32] <riaal> Using amsn..
[09:32] <dougsko> kbidd: just set up a ~/.xinitrc file to start a window manager like fluxbox,  then 'startx' to get it going
[09:32] <bzaks> riaal: not unless you have another msn ;)
[09:32] <sacater> pinchmesh: thanks

[09:32] <abelard> how do I boot from a usb drive?
[09:32] <help1> what do you mean see my name
[09:32] <joejaxx> kbidd: yes it will
[09:32] <bzaks> abelard: does your bios support it?
[09:32] <JensenDied> anyone know of something like xmodmap, that works without X?
[09:33] <ambimom> help1:  you type your username...do you see it?
[09:33] <riaal> bzaks,  you mean add on both?
[09:33] <abelard> bzaks: no
[09:33] <help1> nope
[09:33] <eXcaliBuR> y0
[09:33] <joejaxx> kbidd: but it depends on how far you are pushing it
[09:33] <esheldon> sacater: i think that has to do with the framebuffer the splash screen uses.  i had the same problem on another computer.  to fix, sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove 'splash' from the end of the kernel line for your default boot entry
[09:33] <bzaks> riaal: you don't have to add, you can just check their online status
[09:33] <eXcaliBuR> when someone sends me an email i'm not getting it, i set up my email server and can send and receive locally
[09:33] <ambimom> help1:  are you sure your keyboard is attached securely?  maybe it's something really simple like that
[09:33] <Priddo> Can anyone reccomend a good FREE partitioning program? I don't want to have to format to partition also.
[09:33] <riaal> bzaks, if I sign up a new user that is?

[09:33] <ambimom> priddo:  gparted
[09:33] <UnixTitan> qtparted
[09:33] <UnixTitan> either or
[09:33] <bzaks> riaal: yeah
[09:34] <help1> positive i reinstalled and the same thing happens
[09:34] <Priddo> Thanks guys, your great ^__^
[09:34] <dyrne> Priddo: gparted has a seperate livecd
[09:34] <riaal> bzaks, cheers mate
[09:34] <UnixTitan> they are both frontends to parted.
[09:34] <sacater> esheldon: will that fix ALL the problems, and is it risky?
[09:34] <barbie> hello people
[09:34] <bzaks> abelard: then you need to boot to a disk (cd or disk) that loads in the USB drivers and lets you boot to linux from there... but I'm not sure how that works
[09:34] <ambimom> help1: have you asked in the ubuntu forum?  I am stumped
[09:34] <esheldon> what problems do you have?  you just said you get an out of range message when you Ctrl+alt+F1
[09:34] <barbie> im still having this problem =(
[09:35] <help1> not yet ill post in there
[09:35] <sogen_> esheldon: i have xes :D
[09:35] <ambimom> help1:  good luck...i'm sure it's something very simple
[09:35] <esheldon> sogen_: how did you fix it?
[09:35] <sogen_> esheldon: i turned off freambufer
[09:35] <help1> i installed the desktop version and it works fine
[09:35] <cyberix> Feisty has quake3-data package, but not the software itself. Is the final version going to have the game also? :-P
[09:35] <esheldon> sogen_: excellent
[09:35] <help1> then i intall the server and i get nothin :(
[09:35] <barbie> ok what happens is, when i try to sign in to anything, or hit a link...... it crashes
[09:35] <sogen_> esheldon: just reconfiguret agein xrog :D
[09:35] <help1> thanks im sure it is 2
[09:36] <sacater> esheldon: thats it, and it remains like that
[09:36] <sacater> esheldon: the message is from the monitor
[09:36] <barbie> sometimes it happens and sometime it doesnt...... but tremendesly slow
[09:36] <barbie> any ideas/
[09:36] <esheldon> sacater: then my suggestion _should_ fix your problem.  even if it doesn't, you just won't see the splash screen anymore when booting
[09:36] <ambimom> barbie:  are you running torrents or downloading binaries?
[09:36] <jshriver> how can you unzip multiple files? when I try unzip *.zip it doesnt work
[09:37] <barbie> whats that?
[09:37] <ambimom> barbie:  LOL...then I guess you're not
[09:37] <barbie> lol
[09:37] <dougsko> jshriver: ls *.zip|xargs -0 unzip
[09:37] <riaal> bzaks, made a new accont now. how do I check?
[09:37] <barbie> but how can i make my computer faster?
[09:37] <dougsko> jshriver: you might not need the -0
[09:37] <ambimom> barbie:  torrents and binaries use up bandwidth...so that may be why you're crashing
[09:37] <jshriver> that's kinda messed up, why can't it just *.zip lol every other linux program can handle it
[09:37] <Phaeton>  
[09:37] <jetscreamer> barbie: by pouring lots of money into it
[09:37] <barbie> ok?
[09:38] <Phaeton>  
[09:38] <Phaeton> 
[09:38] <Phaeton> 
[09:38] <Phaeton> =)
[09:38] <Pie> Hi, I'm trying to move 4 folders to the trash, but when I try it says "Cannot move ___ to trash because you do not have permissions to change it or its parent folder". Do I have to get rid of it throug terminal?
[09:38] <barbie> oh shit lol'
[09:38] <bzaks> with aMsn? isn't there a way you just go to like "file" and "get user info"
[09:38] <bzaks> I seem to remember that when I used to use the real msn
[09:38] <bzaks> and I know it exists on gaim
[09:38] <richw> Is there a GUI method to mount hard drives? It dont auto-mount my ext3 drive.
[09:38] <[-T-] 92> hi !
[09:38] <sacater> esheldon: can i restore it?
[09:38] <barbie> or should i just go back to windows?
[09:38] <dougsko> jshriver: i dont know, i didnt write it. most stuff is for linux is tarballed anyway
[09:38] <jshriver> hrm oh well at least the ls trick works :) thanks
[09:38] <ambimom> barbie:  if windows works better for you...why not?
[09:39] <richw> barbie: whats wrong.. i got here late
[09:39] <riaal> bzaks, can't find anything
[09:39] <barbie> i sold my computer i was broke
[09:39] <ambimom> barbie:  ubuntu always works faster for me
[09:39] <esheldon> sacater: restore the splash screen?  just add 'splash' back to the end of the kernel entry.  (i suggest backing up the file before you reboot anyway)
[09:39] <barbie> so now im using my brothers computer
[09:39] <sacater> esheldon: ok thanks
[09:39] <esheldon> good luck

[09:40] <ambimom> barbie:  are you sure you bandwidth hasn't been hijacked?
[09:40] <robert_> er, libtool: link: `gtkhtml.lo' is not a valid libtool object
[09:40] <barbie> is there anyway we can conect computers, an you can check it out?
[09:40] <barbie> what do you meen?
[09:40] <jetscreamer> you need the name of the module in /etc/modules
[09:40] <bbm4n> yessssssssssss its fixed
[09:40] <riaal> bzaks, sorry, what do you mean?
[09:40] <jetscreamer> for it to be autoloaded
[09:40] <bbm4n> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2242143
[09:40] <bzaks> you have a private message from me
[09:41] <bzaks> riaal: look around your screen, anything flashing?
[09:41] <barbie> ambimom?
[09:41] <syn_jet> esheldon,jensendied, I have done that, it says "FATAL: Error inserting toshiba_acpi (/lib/modules/2.6.15-26-686/kernel/drivers/acpi/toshiba_acpi.ko): No such device" but searching in /lib/modu;es gives the path to .ko file
[09:41] <bbm4n> anyways maybe its a little buggy
[09:41] <man_id_unknown> how do I update GTK?
[09:41] <barbie> its really frustrating to use this computer
[09:41] <syn_jet> jetscreamer: so I need to add the name of the module to that file? I saw via cat that it isnt there
[09:42] <Ali_ix> man_id_unknown: try synaptic
[09:42] <man_id_unknown> Ummmm....'barbie' better be female. ;)
[09:42] <esheldon> syn_jet: if the module won't load then adding it to the file won't help
[09:42] <Pie> Hi, I'm trying to move 4 folders to the trash, but when I try it says "Cannot move ___ to trash because you do not have permissions to change it or its parent folder". Do I have to get rid of it throug terminal?
[09:42] <JensenDied> syn_jet: according to that message the device doesnt appear to exist...
[09:42] <bzaks> Pie: it's either that or you need to use nautilus as root
[09:42] <man_id_unknown> Ali_ix: what is synaptic?
[09:42] <esheldon> Pie: yes.  you probably need to do 'sudo rm filename'
[09:42] <Ali_ix> Pie: gksu nautilus
[09:42] <bzaks> hit Alt+f2 and type in "gksudo nautilus"
[09:43] <Pie> What the command for moving in terminel then?
[09:43] <Pie> terminal
[09:43] <Ali_ix> man_id_unknown: Synaptic is user interface for debian package management system (apt)
[09:43] <bzaks> pie: do what I said
[09:43] <JensenDied> pie: cd <path>
[09:43] <barbie> ambimom? r you there?
[09:43] <riaal> bzaks, cool, figured out how it worked =)
[09:43] <man_id_unknown> Yes, ok.
[09:43] <Pie> mmkay
[09:43] <Ali_ix> man_id_unknown: look in system>preferences for it
[09:43] <bzaks> no problem
[09:43] <riaal> bzaks,  thanks a lot
[09:43] <bzaks> not a prob, sorry I couldn't help faster
[09:43] <bbm4n> Synaptic is for getting all the updates
[09:43] <Ali_ix> man_id_unknown: look in system>administrator *
[09:43] <esheldon> Pie: if you don't know much about the terminal, bzaks' method is better
[09:44] <dennda> Pie, "sudo rm -rdf $your_folder_goes_here"
[09:44] <bbm4n> works hell lot better than adept imo

[09:44] <richw> Is there a GUI method to mount hard drives? It dont auto-mount my ext3 drive. ????????
[09:44] <JensenDied> bzaks: theres more than one way to skin a cat as the saying goes
[09:45] <richw> I know i can edit config files etc
[09:45] <Pie> I can't reach my user folder through Nautilus
[09:45] <richw> but why should i have to?
[09:45] <bzaks> hahaha, yeah, but if they're not comfortable with the terminal to start.... that's dangerous starting with rm
[09:45] <Ali_ix> richw: try to add parotions in fstab fi;le
[09:45] <JensenDied> agreed, rm is not the first command to teach
[09:45] <bzaks> how can you not reach your user folder through nautilus? root can do ANYTHING
[09:45] <richw> Ali_ix: thats not the point.. it should have a gui app for that
[09:45] <Pie> Well, I don't see it
[09:46] <bzaks> okay
[09:46] <bzaks> pie
[09:46] <Ali_ix> richw: i dont know any qui exepct installation wizard
[09:46] <jetscreamer> syn_jet: yes.
[09:46] <Pie> Yes?
[09:46] <mitah> hello :)
[09:46] <bzaks> Pie: when you did the gksudo, it gave you a new window, right?
[09:46] <jetscreamer> syn_jet: like, if you modprobe blah, put blah in /etc/modules
[09:46] <ny00123> hello again
[09:46] <Pie> Yea, and I'm browsing as root, but I don't see the folder the files are in
[09:46] <ny00123> I've setup a 32-bit chroot in 64-bit ubuntu.
[09:46] <richw> Ali_ix: dont seem to be helping with ubuntu's userfriendly image there.
[09:46] <bzaks> pie:  that's okay
[09:46] <ny00123> But apt-get can't access any repository at all :o
[09:46] <ny00123> (ipv6 problems?)
[09:46] <richw> Fedora has something to do it
[09:46] <jerkface03> I'm installating the gcc package, is it ok for me to be installing it as root?? or is it better to create a secondary user and install it under that user's account?
[09:46] <esheldon> Pie: hit the Up arrow in the toolbar, then go to home, then your username
[09:46] <ny00123> in mean, the 32-bit apt-get
[09:47] <richw> but Ubuntu dont?
[09:47] <richw> whats up with that?
[09:47] <jerkface03> cause I installed the svn package udner a new user called
[09:47] <jerkface03> "svn"
[09:47] <bzaks> pie: we're gonna start from there:  you're going to see a button (a tool bar button) called "up" click it 2 times
[09:47] <bzaks> pie: that will take us to the root
[09:47] <ny00123> jerkface03, usually programs can be installed only as root at the whole system
[09:47] <Ali_ix> richw: it may have some gui for mountinf! but i dont know them )
[09:47] <syn_jet> richw: are you looking for partitioning tool?
[09:47] <Pie> Ah, got it, didn't know Home was within Root
[09:47] <Pie> Thanks guys
[09:47] <dennda> Pie, everything is within root
[09:47] <jerkface03> ny00123, so if I install it as root, everyone will get access to it?
[09:47] <bzaks> pie: root has it's own home, kinda weird to a windows person like myself, but we're learning
[09:47] <JensenDied> jerkface: generally unless you want to restrict access to a program to only one user, root should install them
[09:48] <bzaks> pie: next you go to home/your user name/
[09:48] <Suurorca> the root directory and root user have nothing in commong, though.
[09:48] <syn_jet> richw: there is "gparted"
[09:48] <ny00123> jerkface03, yes, at least executing and reading it. Not writing/deleting obviously ;P
[09:48] <bzaks> pie: then boom
[09:48] <dennda> that's right
[09:48] <jerkface03> ny00123, ok I'm new to linux so I don't know :P
[09:48] <barbie> what does getty mean in the system log?
[09:48] <richw> syn_jet: if you havnt looked recently.. gparted dont have a "mount" feature
[09:48] <jerkface03> ok thanks.
[09:48] <jerkface03> Installing as root...
[09:48] <ny00123> no problem :)
[09:48] <Ali_ix> syn_jet: he wanted some gui for auto mount partionis not managing them ;)
[09:48] <ny00123> Now to my problem? :P apt-get can't load any page in a 32-bit chroot (ubuntu feisty, 64-bit)
[09:48] <ny00123> ;P
[09:48] <richw> syn_jet: Fedora has something to mount a drive with a simple gui.. user shouldnt be forced to use a command line
[09:49] <ny00123> oops used ;P twice
[09:49] <richw> for such a common task
[09:49] <Ali_ix> richw: not really a common task, one time forever
[09:49] <syn_jet> richw: I guess Ali_ix is right, though using KDE it is easier (tried kubuntu?)

[09:50] <JensenDied> spam much?
[09:50] <bzaks> So does anyone know how to mount an iso as a CD? (not as a volume, but as a physical cd)
[09:50] <barbie> what does getty mean, in the system moniter? there are a bunch of things in there! is that what is slowing down my computer?>
[09:50] <richw> I think Feisty might be getting that feature but im not sure :)
[09:50] <richw> i think il post on forums :P
[09:50] <JensenDied> bzaks: its a loop device, 1 sec and ill grab an fstab entry
[09:50] <Ali_ix> richw: nice idea to have a feature request post there
[09:50] <barbie> hello?
[09:50] <barbie> does somone know>?
[09:51] <bzaks> barbie: your computer's slow?
[09:51] <bzaks> what's all runnnig?
[09:51] <grndslm> anybody here use gnormalize before??  my question's really got more to do with normalizing audio files in general....do you know whether i should use peak or mix
[09:51] <esheldon> barbie: getty is not slowing it down
[09:51] <barbie> yes it is, but im asking what are all thos things in the system moniter?
[09:51] <barbie> do i need them there?
[09:51] <bzaks> why don't you tell us and we'll tell you
[09:51] <JensenDied> bzaks: /path/to/iso /mount/point iso9660 loop,user,exec,ro 0 0
[09:51] <chili555> barbie: getty is prolly unrelated, suggest u look further
[09:51] <zulfajuniadi> richw: my feisty automounts drives automatically, even ntfs without me ever using gui / terminal
[09:52] <bzaks> jensendied: is that oging to make it look like a cd on boot?
[09:52] <richw> zulfajuniadi: i have a drive with one ext3 partiton for storage
[09:52] <JensenDied> yup
[09:52] <bzaks> sweet :)
[09:52] <richw> zulfajuniadi: edgy didnt mount it
[09:52] <bzaks> jensendied: can I just do that same thing in a mount command instead?
[09:52] <JensenDied> bzaks: some copy protections wont consider is a cd though
[09:53] <JensenDied> yes you can
[09:53] <JensenDied> slightly different format though
[09:53] <bzaks> drag
[09:53] <bzaks> I'll look it up, can you just tell me what the 0 0 at the end stands for?
[09:53] <zulfajuniadi> richw: it's not a waste if you learn to do things from terminal you know, it kinda helps in the long run
[09:53] <aricz> Alo, is there a way to get mouse-support in CLI (the wonders of cut'n'paste).. ?
[09:53] <richw> zulfajuniadi: im experienced with linux i can do it
[09:54] <apollo13> hi, did the latest updates in feisty break your wifi too (ipw3945)?
[09:54] <richw> zulfajuniadi: but command lines arnt "user freindly".
[09:54] <bigjohnto> anyone here use ipnat? or ipf?
[09:54] <bbm4n> can i ask a not tech support question?
[09:54] <putrid_potato> Nautilius (under feisty) crashes when i try to browse a remote nfs directory which contains 243 directories, anyone else get this behaviour?
[09:54] <esheldon> bzaks: that tells the system whether to run fsck (filesystem checker) on the partition
[09:54] <JensenDied> bzaks: its something about checking the filesystem on mounting like fsck, not sure the other offhand, they arnt needed on loop devices though
[09:54] <barbie> i wish i could copy and paste it=(
[09:54] <chili555> aricz: there by default, afaik
[09:54] <esheldon> mount -o loop -t iso9660 file.iso /mnt/point
[09:55] <zulfajuniadi> richw: yes, it is not for the feint hearted, it took 2 days for me to setup my xorg.conf... :P
[09:55] <bzaks> barbie: check out pastebin
[09:55] <barbie> what is that?
[09:55] <bbm4n> on what manner are the packages to be included in each distro are chosen?
[09:55] <zulfajuniadi> barbie: pastebin.ubuntu-nl.org
[09:55] <sidny4> !pastebin | barbie
[09:55] <ubotu> barbie: 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 (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[09:55] <hoarycripple> das
[09:55] <aricz> chili555: none here as far as I can see.. :)
[09:55] <hoarycripple> oops, nm
[09:55] <bzaks> esheldon, that would work, but I want ubuntu to think it's a CD not a volume... that's my only problem, I have one of those older programs that won't work if it's not specfically a CD
[09:55] <bbm4n> i mean there is a voting or something?
[09:56] <grndslm> esheldon: you can't burn it?
[09:56] <grndslm> oops...bzaks i mean
[09:56] <chili555> aricz: cant u highlight a line on terminal, r-clik and 'copy'?
[09:56] <Ali_ix> bbm4n: voting? for includign packages? lol it is based on distro release time line and ...
[09:56] <aricz> chili555: nope
[09:57] <bzaks> I don't want to burn it and waste a cd as well as space in a drive that could be used for something better grndslm
[09:57] <grndslm> waste a cd...pfft
[09:57] <grndslm> i do it daily
[09:57] <grndslm> sometimes more often than that
[09:57] <chili555> aricz:works 4 me in gnome terminal...
[09:57] <sacater> esheldon: okay, i now have a non graphical boot-up, but its not solved my problem
[09:58] <bbm4n> yes i know what you mean but i guess there are a lot of people there doing good job... how their software gets chosen?
[09:58] <ny00123> back
[09:58] <bzaks> grndslm it's more a matter of not having enough places for CDs I want to use... one drive and I want to run other things besides a stupid homework program.
[09:58] <aricz> chili555: oh, yeah, that works out here too I guess.. but I mean the terminal through ctrl+alt+f1-f6
[09:58] <PirateHead> Is there a way to upgrade to Feisty directly from Edgy without downloading the ISO?
[09:58] <esheldon> sacater: sorry about that, it worked for me.  if you backed up /boot/grub/menu.lst, restore the backup   :/
[09:58] <Ali_ix> bbm4n: check out mailing list and developer channel to see how they decide to include some packages
[09:58] <ny00123> 32-bit (chrooted) apt-get can't connect to any repository. ping and ifconfig seem to work from that environment though.
[09:58] <ny00123> help? ;P
[09:58] <bbm4n> thanx :)
[09:58] <bigjohnto> bah i figured it out
[09:58] <bigjohnto> thanks anyways
[09:58] <chili555> aricz: thats 2 new-school 4 me
[09:59] <Ali_ix> PirateHead: yes, try update-manager -c or apt-get dist-upgrade
[09:59] <aricz> chili555: what are you talking about?
[09:59] <Ali_ix> PirateHead: but first check out some HOW TOs for dist upgrades
[09:59] <PirateHead> Is apt-get dist-upgrade safe? (more or less?)
[09:59] <esheldon> piratehead: very
[10:00] <PirateHead> Ali_ix: link to how-tos?
[10:00] <zulfajuniadi> bbm4n: it depends on a lot of things, support, licensing, packaging, compatibility with other packages, and the most important thing is whether the app is really needed, are there any other similar apps out there... etc, the lists goes on.
[10:00] <Ali_ix> PirateHead: generaly safe and easy...
[10:00] <Ali_ix> PirateHead: check ubuntuforums.org
[10:00] <sacater> esheldon: i may have done it wrong, when you say DEFAULT, do you mean default, or the option i boot off
[10:00] <chili555> aricz:  ctrl+alt+f1-f6 is 2 new-school 4 me
[10:01] <aricz> chili555: what do you mean?
[10:01] <chili555> nem mind
[10:01] <aricz> ok? ..
[10:01] <smau-k> hello, has anyone here installed NX server under Edgy Eft?
[10:01] <r3zon8> how to change how the separator looks on the panels? id rather it look like a ' : ' instead of that ugly bar
[10:02] <smau-k> if so, please priv me if you have time to talk - i have a few questions
[10:02] <brainiac8008> i have 6.06 dapper and would like to upgrade to feisty fawn when it comes out.  I read that you must upgrade to edgy first and then upgrade to feisty.  Is this safe to do?  Will I lose any configuration settings?  How exactly do I do this?
[10:02] <ale1> could anyone tell me how i can merge the applications places and system menu into one?
[10:03] <bbm4n> @zulfajuniadi i got it ;)
[10:03] <dredd> Can anyone tell me why I can't receive any DCC transfers through xchat
[10:04] <fdoving> !upgrade | brainiac8008
[10:04] <ubotu> brainiac8008: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[10:04] <ale1> brainiac8008, go into /etc/apt and open sources.list, change every instance of dapper to edgy, and then run sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[10:04] <zulfajuniadi> ale1: right-click on the panel -> add to panel -> main menu
[10:05] <kofler> How do I fix this error I get from unison?: Fatal error: exception Util.Fatal("Environment variable HOME not found")
[10:05] <sacater> erm
[10:06] <ale1> thanks, knew it something simple
[10:06] <dredd> plz help me with xchat
[10:06] <zulfajuniadi> np
[10:07] <zulfajuniadi> dredd: are you behind a firewall? proxy?
[10:07] <dredd> @zulfajuniadi   yes
[10:07] <pinchmesh> good site to use to upgrade to 7.04:
[10:07] <pinchmesh> http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2007/03/upgrade-ubuntu-610-edgy-eft-to-ubuntu.html
[10:07] <pinchmesh> i just used it... really simple
[10:08] <zulfajuniadi> dredd: proxy = problem for dcc, i'm not sure abt the firewall though
[10:08] <brainiac8008> ale1, i checked the ubuntu website and it said that i should use gksu "update-manager -c" instead of what u said and that gksu "update-manager -c" is much more reliable.  Do you know of this?
[10:08] <dredd> but I could do the same when I used mirc on Windows
[10:09] <dredd> only now when I changed to Ubuntu is it giving problems
[10:09] <pinchmesh> brain, "update-manager -c -d"
[10:10] <brainiac8008> pinchmesh, what's the -d for?
[10:10] <pinchmesh> check this out http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2007/03/upgrade-ubuntu-610-edgy-eft-to-ubuntu.html
[10:11] <Ali_ix> hi oxygenws
[10:11] <ale1> anyone know where gnome stores its sytem icons?
[10:11] <richardsonh> Quick question guys if I wanna copy over a directory from windows sudo cp -r should copy the directory and its subdirectorys correct?
[10:12] <Ali_ix> richardsonh: it is cp -R
[10:12] <richardsonh> Ali-ix, recursion is -R?
[10:12] <lucifiel> !install ubuntu
[10:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about install ubuntu - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:12] <lucifiel> hmm
[10:12] <zulfajuniadi> ale1 /usr/share/icons
[10:13] <crdlb> richardsonh, exactly
[10:13] <Ali_ix> richardsonh: well -r works as well
[10:13] <Ali_ix> richardsonh: *may work well ;)
[10:13] <richardsonh> Ali_ix, Yeah I just flipped and checked the man pages cause i'm like 2 hours into a copy.... =)

[10:14] <paparaya> Hello i'm using  AMD K6-2, 533 MHz, L1: 32KB  256RAM 10 GB , can i use perfectly ubuntu ?
[10:15] <Apollo^101> how can i check which kernel iam currently using (in kde)
[10:15] <eliran> dunno
[10:15] <sacater> im having xserver trouble mayday
[10:15] <GionnyBoss> Apollo^101: in all distros, 'uname -r'
[10:15] <sacater> please help
[10:15] <paparaya> Hello i'm using  AMD K6-2, 533 MHz, L1: 32KB  256RAM 10 GB , can i use perfectly ubuntu ? and i need to download a especific iso or something ?
[10:15] <Wp`> yosh
[10:16] <sacater> paparaya: you better use xubuntu, check out xubuntu.oirg
[10:16] <gordonjcp> paparaya: maybe xubuntu
[10:16] <sacater> xubuntu.org
[10:16] <zulfajuniadi> paparaya: try beafanatix, it's based on ubuntu
[10:16] <paparaya> wait wait which one
[10:16] <gordonjcp> paparaya: more memory would be a big help
[10:16] <Priest-of-Psi> !repeat | paparaya
[10:16] <ubotu> paparaya: 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
[10:16] <sacater> paparaya: xubuntu.org
[10:16] <GionnyBoss> paparaya: and use alternate cd
[10:16] <paparaya> Priest-of-Psi i didnt reapet
[10:16] <Xteven> hi
[10:16] <Apollo^101> GionnyBoss, 2.6.17-10-generic
[10:16] <Apollo^101>    thanks
[10:16] <nilleso> Is there a method to script gnome-terminal actions similar to DCOP for konsole?
[10:16] <Xteven> if I want to start something when gnome starts under ubuntu, where do I add it ?
[10:17] <Xteven> nilleso: look into zenity maybe :)
[10:17] <gordonjcp> paparaya: can you get more memory?
[10:17] <paparaya> gordonjcp ram ?
[10:17] <Xteven> nilleso: and D-BUS
[10:17] <nilleso> okay will do thanks
[10:17] <gordonjcp> paparaya: yes
[10:17] <zulfajuniadi> Xteven: system -> preference -> sessions
[10:17] <paparaya> uhm nope
[10:17] <richardsonh> Xteven, the GUI startup thingy,....
[10:17] <Apollo^101> does linux partition needs to be defragmented?
[10:17] <paparaya> but with 256 ubuntu doesn't work fine !??!
[10:17] <gordonjcp> paparaya: bummer, even 512 would be a huge help
[10:17] <Fr33> LAL
[10:18] <gordonjcp> Apollo^101: not really, no
[10:18] <richardsonh> Xteven, thingy being a very scientific term. =_
[10:18] <Xteven> zulfajuniadi, richardsonh : I meant if I wanted to build a package, can I add a file in a something.d dir somewhere ?
[10:18] <Apollo^101> gordonjcp, why is that so
[10:18] <Xteven> richardsonh: haha :) yeah, it's related to the thingamabob
[10:18] <paparaya> zulfajuniadi BeaFanatIX is only live cd ?
[10:19] <zulfajuniadi> Xteven: i don't understand what you're trying t oachieve by doing that
[10:19] <gordonjcp> Apollo^101: it just works in a different way to FAT or NTFS
[10:19] <richardsonh> Xteven, yeah, I knew it was under system->pref but couldn't remember where...wait what are you trying to do now?
[10:19] <dougsko> Apollo^101: it depends on the file system youre using too. theres ext2, ext3, reiser, xfs, a whole bunch, and they all work differently
[10:19] <zulfajuniadi> paparaya: yes, but it boots really fast
[10:19] <Apollo^101> gordonjcp, ok
[10:19] <paparaya> zulfajuniadi but cd lives sucks haha
[10:19] <Apollo^101> dougsko, which one is the best?
[10:19] <gordonjcp> Apollo^101: you *do* get fragmentation, but only in extreme circumstances
[10:19] <zulfajuniadi> paparaya: yes, but it boots really fast, and uses well under 100mb ram on idle, and still manages to use gnome
[10:19] <richardsonh> Guys whats the command to see directory filesizes?
[10:20] <Apollo^101> gordonjcp, so do i need any precautions?
[10:20] <gordonjcp> Apollo^101: I mean I've used Linux for about 10 years or so at least, and *never* ran into fragmentation issues
[10:20] <Apollo^101> gordonjcp, tools..
[10:20] <Xteven> richardsonh: I created a daemon based on notification-daemon, and I want to start it automatically when I log in. But I don't want to edit files, I just want to create a package containing my program. If I install it, my daemon should be started at login automatically
[10:20] <zulfajuniadi> paparaya: the live cd download is only about 100 megs
[10:20] <paparaya> gordonjcp what do you think ? i can get more ram ... :/
[10:20] <dougsko> Apollo^101: there isnt one BEST file system. theyre all have pros and cons. check their wikipedia articles to read about them, and decide for youself
[10:20] <[-T-] 92> ca vaut le coup d installer la feisty d ailleurs ?
[10:20] <gordonjcp> Apollo^101: I have no idea what precautions you'd need to take, it's never been a problem
[10:20] <Apollo^101> gordonjcp, ok
[10:20] <gordonjcp> paparaya: you could get Xubuntu Alternate CD, and use the text-based installer
[10:20] <Apollo^101> dougsko, iam using ext3  and kubuntu
[10:21] <Apollo^101> gordonjcp, ok
[10:21] <richardsonh> Xteven, Uhm i remember how to do that on gentoo, I've never done it on Ubuntu
[10:21] <gordonjcp> paparaya: or you could stick some more memory in, which will make your whole experience a lot more fun
[10:21] <zulfajuniadi> Xteven: system -> preference -> sessions, to add automatic-launching apps when logging into gnome
[10:21] <paparaya> gordonjcp what do you mean alternate ? is not the normal cd?
[10:21] <gordonjcp> no, not the normal CD
[10:21] <gordonjcp> you'll see there are two versions
[10:21] <paparaya> zulfajuniadi but i tried a lot of distros and only ubuntu xubuntu detect my wireless
[10:21] <Apollo^101> gordonjcp, you would be a geed then?
[10:21] <Apollo^101> :)
[10:21] <dougsko> Apollo^101: ext3 is probly your best bet though for you main file system. but for instance, xfs is faster, so i use that on a partition that holds a lot of videos and stuff, but nothing real important
[10:21] <gordonjcp> Apollo^101: ?
[10:21] <Xteven> zulfajuniadi: ok , I'll look into it
[10:21] <gordonjcp> geed?
[10:21] <paparaya> !xubuntu
[10:21] <Xteven> richardsonh: thx :)
[10:21] <Apollo^101> gordonjcp, you would be a geek*

[10:21] <gordonjcp> Apollo^101: possibly
[10:21] <richardsonh> Xteven sorry I couldn't be of much help
[10:22] <Xteven> richardsonh: np :)
[10:22] <Apollo^101> gordonjcp geek = person who know alot
[10:22] <sacater> hi, i want to disable framebuffer
[10:22] <aricz> Anyone know how to get mousesupport in CLI? (ctrl+alt+f1-f6)
[10:22] <Apollo^101> gordonjcp, so you never wanted to use windows or any other os?
[10:23] <gordonjcp> Apollo^101: heh, well maybe
[10:23] <avvalon> Can someone explain to me how I could start a remote desktop session to a computer I only have SSH access too right now?
[10:23] <linxeh> aricz: install gpm
[10:23] <gordonjcp> Apollo^101: <shrug> I never really used Windows much.  I use MacOS and NetBSD as well as Linux
[10:23] <dougsko> aricz: i think you can only get mouse support by using some sort of curses
[10:23] <cables> avvalon, you'd need to start a vnc server from the command line.
[10:23] <gordonjcp> I kind of missed Windows, I was using DOS for a long time
[10:23] <Apollo^101> gordonjcp, iam a new convert to linux from windows. iam facing problems. may be i know windows alot and less linux. may linux is really less user friendly ?
[10:23] <aricz> linxeh: woho, worked instantly, thank you!
[10:23] <pinchmesh> man ssh
[10:24] <paparaya> uhm gordonjcp i can't find the alternate
[10:24] <sacater> avvalon: yes, ssh 'address'
[10:24] <avvalon> I have the ssh, but i need the gui
[10:24] <pinchmesh> apropos ssh
[10:24] <pinchmesh> oh
[10:24] <cables> pinchmesh, did you read what avvalon said?
[10:24] <dougsko> Apollo^101: thats a silly thing to say. you have to learn how to do things. its not magic
[10:24] <gordonjcp> Apollo^101: it is and it isn't.  Stuff will not be where you expect, and it won't work the way you expect
[10:24] <LeoNz> Hi guys, im having trouble partioning when i try and install ubuntu, when i do the first selection, it doesn't respond later on, then on the manual option, it also says it cannot partion
[10:24] <pinchmesh> yeah, he ants a gui
[10:24] <pinchmesh> wants
[10:24] <zulfajuniadi> Apollo^101: user-friendly is an misinterperated term
[10:24] <gordonjcp> Apollo^101: it's not better or worse, just different
[10:25] <gordonjcp> Apollo^101: Linux blows Windows away for *some* things, and I'm sure Windows blows Linux away for some things too
[10:25] <pinchmesh> there's a bunch under internet in the installer
[10:25] <paparaya> gordonjcp: http://www.xubuntu.org/get , which one is the alternate cd
[10:25] <LeoNz> Anyone: Hi guys, im having trouble partioning when i try and install ubuntu, when i do the first selection, it doesn't respond later on, then on the manual option, it also says it cannot partion
[10:25] <linxeh> gordonjcp: like games ;-)
[10:25] <ctn> hola a todos
[10:25] <Apollo^101> hmm
[10:26] <gordonjcp> linxeh: yeah, Linux has got some really nice games
[10:26] <avvalon> I have vncserver started, but it won't answer even though I know I've got the port opened
[10:26] <caleb_> I'm having a weird problem... the mouse will move, but clicking doesn't do anything. I can still see stuff going on on the screen.
[10:26] <burkmat> USB Headset not working. How do I fix it?
[10:26] <gordonjcp> paparaya: go here -> http://www.xubuntu.org/get and pick your local mirror, then download the alternate install CD for your computer
[10:26] <zulfajuniadi> gordonjcp: well there's always cedega around ;)
[10:26] <Enselic> caleb_: press Esc a couple of times
[10:27] <gordonjcp> paparaya: you almost certainly want the PC Intel X86 one
[10:27] <caleb_> I'm in IRSSI on a vtty
[10:27] <caleb_> Enselic: no effect
[10:27] <dougsko> burkmat: check dmesg after pluggin it in to see if you computer is recognizing it
[10:27] <gordonjcp> zulfajuniadi: all the games I like run natively in Linux anyway
[10:27] <Enselic> caleb_: are you debuggning sofrtware?
[10:27] <gordonjcp> caleb_: now you need to use screen
[10:27] <caleb_> Enselic: no
[10:27] <LeoNz> sigh can anyone help?
[10:27] <Enselic> caleb_: what are you donig?
[10:27] <caleb_> Enselic: using my computer
[10:27] <caleb_> Enselic: typing in OOo
[10:28] <gordonjcp> !repeat | LeoNz
[10:28] <ubotu> LeoNz: 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
[10:28] <LeoNz> Anyone: Hi guys, im having trouble partioning when i try and install ubuntu, when i do the first selection, it doesn't respond later on, then on the manual option, it also says it cannot partion
[10:28] <caleb_> Enselic: my mouse will move, and stuff is happening on the screen, but I want to possibly get this working without killing X or restarting.
[10:28] <pinchmesh> LeoNz, it an old ide drive?
[10:28] <Apollo^101> gordonjcp, isnt there an easy way. (may be by package manager) to install the latest kernel?
[10:28] <pinchmesh> old mobo?
[10:28] <gordonjcp> Apollo^101: depends what you mean by "latest"
[10:28] <LeoNz> nope its quite new, its called hda in the partion part
[10:28] <LeoNz> hda1
[10:28] <caleb_> gordonjcp: how exactly will screen help me here?
[10:28] <pinchmesh> not ide?
[10:28] <Enselic> caleb_: does top say anything?
[10:28] <LeoNz> dont think so
[10:28] <gordonjcp> caleb_: you're using irssi in a tty, right?
[10:29] <caleb_> gordonjcp: yeah
[10:29] <Apollo^101> gordonjcp, 2.6.20 or so        in kubuntu
[10:29] <Apollo^101> www.kernel.org
[10:29] <pinchmesh> big flat cable, or a little wire?
[10:29] <LeoNz> its a laptop
[10:29] <pinchmesh> oh crap, dunno then
[10:29] <gordonjcp> caleb_: if you run irssi inside screen, you can close the terminal, and reattach to the screen session later
[10:29] <LeoNz> lol
[10:29] <pinchmesh> <- makes sign of the cross @ lappy
[10:30] <caleb_> gordonjcp: I know. But I'm looking for help with a problem, not advice for what I should be doing in a vtty.
[10:30] <gordonjcp> caleb_: this is how I can irc at work and irc at home, without disconnecting in between ;-)
[10:30] <Enselic> caleb_: what does top say?
[10:30] <LeoNz> Using a dell laptop, harddrive called "hda", cannot partion when installin ubunutu, anyone know the problem and how to resolve it?
[10:30] <caleb_> Enselic: everything's normal, except the mouse
[10:30] <Enselic> caleb_: anything suspicous?
[10:30] <zulfajuniadi> LeoNz: are you trying the feisty alternate install cd by any chance?
[10:30] <gordonjcp> caleb_: yeah, on your "not responding to clicks" thing, is it possible that dbus has keeled over?
[10:30] <Enselic> caleb_: did you try top?
[10:30] <caleb_> gordonjcp: I dunno... how would I tell?
[10:30] <LeoNz> i downlaoded the one under "download now"
[10:30] <caleb_> Enselic: like I said, yes, and processes are running normally.
[10:30] <paparaya> gordonjcp thank you
[10:31] <caleb_> The mouse pointer is an "open hand" and won't change from that.
[10:31] <gordonjcp> caleb_: ps ax | grep dbus
[10:31] <pinchmesh> some video cards have a built-in mouse driver... you can set it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:31] <zulfajuniadi> owh, the live distribution of 6.10 then?
[10:31] <caleb_> gordonjcp: hold on a sec
[10:31] <LeoNz> yeh
[10:31] <Apollo^101> gordonjcp, 2.6.20 or so        in kubuntu
[10:31] <gordonjcp> caleb_: ahaa, has an app got hold of it and died?
[10:31] <gordonjcp> Apollo^101: that's current in Feisty iirc
[10:31] <paparaya> gordonjcp i'm downloaiding the PC (Intel x86) alternate install CD i ok right? 682M
[10:31] <paparaya> MB
[10:31] <LeoNz> is there a difference?
[10:31] <knoppix> asdfa
[10:31] <gordonjcp> paparaya: sounds about right
[10:31] <caleb_> gordonjcp: anything i should be looking for? And hold on, you're right, I should switch to screen :)
[10:31] <gordonjcp> ah, I remember knoppix...
[10:31] <paparaya> gordonjcp :))))))))
[10:31] <zulfajuniadi> LeoNz: what error messages did it put out? yes a big difference
[10:31] <Apollo^101> gordonjcp, iam using edge 6.10
[10:32] <casaschi> have an issue with "user switching", if I switch users using the panel button, then when the new user logins, the mouse is freezing... any idea how to avoid mouse freezing when switching users?
[10:32] <gordonjcp> Apollo^101: then the most up-to-date for you is 2.6.17-11
[10:32] <gordonjcp> iirc
[10:32] <LeoNz> well in the frist selection, it jsut stopped workin, so i tried manual partion, calculated 50% and it showed a red sign sayin cannot partion
[10:32] <pkilgore_> Do I need to use the linux-generic kernel in order to use the nvidia-glx package correctly?
[10:32] <cables_> I'm' back, and using screen now.
[10:32] <pinchmesh> bad drives do that kind of stuff too
[10:32] <cables_> pkilgore_: I don't think so. You just need the package linux-restricted-modules`uname -r`
[10:32] <Apollo^101> gordonjcp, cant i get the 2.6.20?
[10:33] <gordonjcp> Apollo^101: not with standard packages, no
[10:33] <cables_> pkilgore_: that will install the correct version for your kernel.
[10:33] <cables_> gordonjcp: hi, back, using scree.n
[10:33] <cables_> *screen
[10:33] <zulfajuniadi> LeoNz: did you try partitioning prior installation or while installation?
[10:33] <gordonjcp> Apollo^101: you could roll your own kernel, but it isn't straighforward
[10:33] <gordonjcp> cables_: hello
[10:33] <LeoNz> after i booted up the cd, i clicked teh install logo
[10:33] <gordonjcp> cables_: see?  now you can do this...
[10:33] <LeoNz> and followed the steps
[10:33] <cables_> gordonjcp: what should I be looking for in the output of that command?
[10:33] <cables_> gordonjcp: I know
[10:33] <Apollo^101> gordonjcp, any easy wat to do that?
[10:33] <baktaah> Could someone please help me with kismet, what do I use for a ra0 NWIC?
[10:33] <cables_> gordonjcp: I can work Screen just fine
[10:34] <LeoNz> and then i get up to 5/6 it doesnt partion
[10:34] <zulfajuniadi> LeoNz: try this, run sudo gparted from the terminal and see if it has any errors
[10:34] <gordonjcp> cables_: see?  I know you didn't see much, but I just hopped across to my laptop
[10:34] <LeoNz> kk
[10:34] <pinchmesh> LeoNz, you have another drive you can try??
[10:34] <gordonjcp> cables_: uhm right, let's see
[10:34] <gordonjcp> cables_: what did "ps ax | grep dbus" say?
[10:34] <cables_> gordonjcp: I'd paste it, but I'm in a vtty... i'll try to summarize it
[10:35] <cables_> s/paste/pastebin
[10:35] <pkilgore_> cables_, ahh, I see. Sorry, I'm a gentoo guy, this all has me rather confused
[10:35] <pinchmesh> ltr, gotta run
[10:35] <gordonjcp> cables_: about four or five lines, with a couple of /usr/bin/dbus-daemon lines?
[10:35] <cables_> gordonjcp: 5 processes running
[10:35] <Priddo> Hi guys, I'm having trouble partitioning, I asked for a good free program before, and was told about gparted, but this seems to be only for linux. I should of explained, I'm running XP atm, and want to partition to setup space for Ubuntu, and I have no floppy drive either... Can anyone talk me through the basics of this?
[10:35] <gordonjcp> cables_: fine, that's working
[10:35] <cables_> gordonjcp: yeah, that's what I see
[10:35] <cables_> Priddo: there's a gparted livecd
[10:35] <ny00123> hello. any ubuntu 64-bit user here? (or someone who's tried chroot)
[10:35] <gordonjcp> cables_: silly question, but have you tried just restarting X?
[10:35] <Priddo> Livecd?
[10:35] <cables_> Priddo: no need to install linux. You can just run it from the CD
[10:36] <gordonjcp> Priddo: there are a couple of good howtos out there
[10:36] <richardsonh> Question, lets say you wanted to run a program in X but you didn't want a windows manager like Gnome or KDE running all you wanted to do was run the program with X what would you need to do?
[10:36] <cables_> gordonjcp: I'd rather not do that... but it's been more than 3 minutes, and OpenOffice has autosaved, so I think it's safe to do that now :)
[10:36] <pkilgore_> Priddo, gparted from the ubuntu livecd if you want graphics, otherwise, fdisk
[10:36] <JayTee> hey folks
[10:36] <Enselic> caleb_: cables_ you can try to just kill ooo
[10:36] <dougsko> Priddo: if youre trying to install ubuntu, just boot up the install disk. itll walk your through partitioning
[10:36] <gordonjcp> cables_: ok, cool, you know about CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE?
[10:36] <GionnyBoss> Priddo: but if you want to install Ubuntu, there's a partitioner when you install... the same that they are telling you, gparted... or you can use directly it from live cd
[10:36] <cables_> gordonjcp: yep
[10:36] <cruiseoveride> I just invented a new word, and though i'd share
[10:36] <Enselic> cables_: to see if ooo is causing it
[10:36] <cables_> Enselic: it's not
[10:36] <Priddo> Oh ok
[10:36] <gordonjcp> cables_: it's hard to tell sometimes in here ;-)
[10:36] <Priddo> I ddidn't realise ubuntu helped with it in install
[10:36] <baktaah> Could someone please help me with kismet, what do I use for a ra0 NWIC?
[10:37] <Priddo> thanks alot guys :)
[10:37] <JayTee> Does anyone know a place with a good (hopefully easy) tutorial for a network install of (k)Ubuntu?
[10:37] <Enselic> cables_: the screen does update you say?
[10:37] <Enselic> cables: like, it's not locked
[10:37] <cruiseoveride> take the word "n00b" and copy it and spell it backwards and add a 2 to the end, and what do you get?
[10:37] <cruiseoveride> n00b00n2
[10:37] <burkmat> Need help installing USB Headset.
[10:37] <theacolyte> !noob | cruiseoveride
[10:37] <ubotu> cruiseoveride: Words like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period.
[10:37] <cruiseoveride> hahaha
[10:38] <caleb_> Enselic: yep, that's what I said
[10:38] <sheesh721> I need help installing nvidia drivers, the instructions on the FAQ don't seem to match my system..
[10:38] <caleb_> X starting now, bye
[10:38] <Enselic> caleb_: what happends if you try to con
[10:38] <Enselic> wait
[10:38] <caleb_> sheesh721: what sort of help?
[10:38] <cruiseoveride> ubotu, sorry, just noticed this was "official"
[10:38] <zulfajuniadi> sheesh721: google easybuntu
[10:38] <Sha> Hello, i want install Ubuntu, i'm on a windows xp system, and i don't have any cd drive for burn the iso, someone know if i can use the usb hdd as cd drive for install it ?
[10:38] <caleb_> zulfajuniadi: no!
[10:38] <Enselic> caleb_: what happends if you connect another client to you xserver?
[10:38] <caleb_> sheesh721: can you explain the problem?
[10:38] <caleb_> Enselic: no idea how, too late anyhow.
[10:39] <Enselic> caleb_: you restarted?
[10:39] <cruiseoveride> theacolyte, what do you mean?
[10:39] <Sha> it's a 2gb usb hdd
[10:39] <caleb_> Enselic: I restarted X, yeah
[10:39] <gordonjcp> nn folks
[10:39] <Enselic> caleb_: oh
[10:40] <yatta> could somebody please please please help me with my Ubuntu; Im tryin to enable realtime in JACK but it wont allow me
[10:40] <zulfajuniadi> Sha: try vmware in windows
[10:41] <louish> I'm looking for a way to mount another partition on my hdd, and the fstab is different then what I'm use to.  How can I "create" a mount in fstab that will let me read/write to this new partition?
[10:41] <Sha> zulfajuniadi: i want delete the windows partition and install a fat16 one, but i can't burn ubuntu on a cd, i want use my usb hdd of 2gb as cd drive
[10:41] <Enselic> louish: man fstab
[10:41] <bam79> Need some assistance with Ubuntu on a Toshiba Satellite laptop, please.
[10:41] <cables> !ask | bam79
[10:41] <ubotu> bam79: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[10:41] <Enselic> louish: you basically need to give the right flags
[10:41] <Enselic> louish: iirc there are good examples in the doc
[10:41] <dougsko> louish: take a look at the other entries in there. you can mount it like your / or /home partitions
[10:42] <maan84__> Hey, I wonder how I can find out what kind of DVD my computer have, I know it's a NEC and in Win i could just right click and see it was a Nec 2320nb for example =P
[10:42] <yatta> I am using the quick JACK gui; it wont connect when i enable realtime; I have tried everything
[10:42] <maan84__> How do I do in Ubuntu? ^^ ty
[10:42] <Enselic> louish: maan84__ lshw -C CD
[10:42] <Enselic> louish: maan84__ lshw -C DVD perhaps
[10:42] <maan84__> thx :)
[10:42] <Enselic> louish: or -C DRIVE
[10:42] <Enselic> louish: do it as root though, sudo in front
[10:42] <maan84__> ok ill try it =)
[10:43] <JanTerje> Does anyone know how network installing Ubuntu works?
[10:43] <Enselic> oh, maan84__, not louish (wtf?)
[10:43] <bam79> OK... here goes... I installed Ubuntu on my lappy yesterday. I thought I partitioned the HD to keep Vista, but now Vista won't show up on the boot menu when I F12 during start-up... AND Ubuntu won't recognize my wireless card.
[10:43] <maan84__> hehe
[10:43] <cables> bam79, that's 2 separate issues.
[10:43] <cables> bam79, you kept your ntfs partition?
[10:43] <louish> Enselic, instead of showing /dev/hda3 (or whatever) it is showing UUID=574f8b11-e55-4dle-9fea-e6bc01260ca3 ???
[10:43] <Ind[y] > May jre slow down Metacity?
[10:44] <Ind[y] > and take a lot cpu?
[10:44] <cables> Ind[y] , it may not, but it can :)
[10:44] <Enselic> louish: yeah, it's a security thingy
[10:44] <cables> Ind[y] , JRE can slow down anything.
[10:44] <bam79> I let Ubuntu run it's thing as default... which I thought it didn't overwrite Vista unles syou specifically told it to.
[10:44] <maan84__> Hmm didn't work, it just quickly ramble up IDE CPUID then send me back to the command lne
[10:44] <Ind[y] > cables: Even if it doesn't run? :/
[10:44] <cables> Ind[y] , that's a problem, then.
[10:44] <Enselic> louish: you mount by a unique identifier
[10:44] <louish> Enselic, ahh..  For the new partition! what would I put?  /dev/hda3 /home/new_dir ext defaults 0 2 ?
[10:44] <RandomizeR> my xserver is starting with too high a resolution for my LCD to handle, how can i fix it?
[10:45] <Enselic> louish: there is a program that lists all UUIDs, but now I can't remember it ofcourse
[10:45] <Ind[y] > cables: I installed Ubuntu and everything was fine. But after a few reboots, Metacity grew *terribly* slow. This has happened in two installations.
[10:45] <cables> Enselic, you can use /dev/whatever though, right?
[10:45] <RandomizeR> LCD complains saying "Out of range" for the H and V frequencies
[10:45] <Enselic> louish: you can go with /dev/whatever too
[10:45] <_MB_> hello
[10:45] <cables> Ind[y] , how do you know it's jre?
[10:45] <GionnyBoss> bam79: when you install something, you have to READ what it says to you. If you select an HD, the default setting is (if I remember well) to erase all on that hd and do an Ubuntu Install.
[10:45] <yatta> Does anybody here use JACK Audio Connection Kit?
[10:45] <Flannel> bam79: Not being in the boot menu doesn't necessarily mean the partition isnt there.  Some people have had to do a little hoop jumping to get GRUB to work with vista, as it's still pretty new
[10:45] <Enselic> louish: just don't use the
[10:45] <Ind[y] > cables: I don't.
[10:45] <Enselic> 'uuid' option
[10:46] <cables> Ind[y] , didn't you say that?
[10:46] <louish> Enselic, how about this?     /dev/hda3 /home/new_dir ext defaults 0 2
[10:46] <cables> Ind[y] , I don't know how to fix that...
[10:46] <Ind[y] > cables: I asked.
[10:46] <Enselic> louish: defaults is root-mount only
[10:46] <Enselic> louish: among a bunch of other flags
[10:46] <Apollo^101> does any body knows when kubuntu fiesty (non beta) the reall final one, will be released?
[10:46] <Enselic> louish: look up in man fstab exaclty what
[10:46] <livingdaylight> I came across this site http://www.undergroundsatellite.com/index-2.html its about having sattelite televion through one's computer using their software, but Alas, it is for windows users only AGAIN. I wondered if there is any way I can as a Linux user also get Sattelite televsion through my computer?
[10:47] <louish> Enselic, okay  I'll give that a shot
[10:47] <Ind[y] > Apollo^101: some say on 18th
[10:47] <Apollo^101> 18 of april?
[10:47] <mcscruff> FrOstiE smells
[10:48] <bam79> The Vista not being there isn't my main concern at the moment, as I can work through that later... right now, I need my wireless card to be found. I started to do the ndiswrapper, but I can't seem to find the drivers for the card... all I've been able to find is a self install .exe...... Any knowledge on that?
[10:48] <Flannel> Apollo^101: Feisty is sceduled to be released on the 19th.
[10:48] <Enselic> louish: actually, I see that man fstab sucks
[10:48] <Flannel> !wireless | bam79
[10:48] <ubotu> bam79: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[10:48] <louish> Enselic, Yeah.  I was just looking at it
[10:48] <Enselic> louish: I must've read the good guide I learned this in on the interwebs, hang on
[10:49] <Enselic> louish: it was this iirc: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html
[10:49] <Enselic> louish: googled for 'fstab tutorial', second hit or something
[10:49] <happytron> anyone know how to improve thread scheduling for interactive processes?
[10:50] <yatta> Does anybody have any experience of JACK Audio? and getting it to run with the realtime option???
[10:50] <happytron> whenever i'm running a computationally intensive process my system becomes more or less unresponsive
[10:50] <Flannel> happytron: Do you have the server kernel?
[10:50] <Apollo^101> Flannel,  how will i be able to upgrade to fiesty if i am using edgy 6.10?   through live cd?
[10:50] <bbm4n> (stupid question) where can i download k develop?
[10:50] <happytron> Flannel: i don't think so, i installed the desktop version
[10:50] <JohntheChristian> can I get help?
[10:50] <Enselic> bbm4n: sudo apt-get install kdevelop
[10:50] <louish> Enselic, Great thanks a lot
[10:50] <Flannel> Apollo^101: no.  You can't use the liveCD to upgrade.  You can use the alternate CD, or just straight downloading packages through the internet
[10:50] <louish> :)
[10:50] <bbm4n> can't seem to find it at package managers...
[10:50] <JohntheChristian> hello?
[10:50] <Flannel> !ask | JohntheChristian
[10:50] <ubotu> JohntheChristian: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[10:51] <JohntheChristian> is there help for a dumb windows user
[10:51] <JohntheChristian> haha
[10:51] <JohntheChristian> okay
[10:51] <mcscruff> yes
[10:51] <CHORUSS> /leave
[10:51] <JohntheChristian> I'm trying To run, but not install, from a live cd, but it seems to get stuck when loading
[10:51] <happytron> do you know how to just up the process priority?
[10:51] <mcscruff> there is light at the end of the tunnel
[10:51] <Enselic> bbm4n: well, you should
[10:51] <Enselic> bbm4n: justd issue the command I gave you
[10:51] <Flannel> JohntheChristian: did you verify the CD?
[10:51] <bbm4n> kk
[10:51] <JohntheChristian> how do you do that?
[10:51] <luke> i got the same problem with Kubuntu
[10:51] <syte> emerald:5868): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_drawable_unref: assertion `GDK_IS_DRAWABLE  can someone help me with this error
[10:52] <Flannel> JohntheChristian: it's on the boot menu, third one down or something.  Something like "check CD for defects"
[10:52] <Jouda> hello
[10:52] <luke> it freezes when restoring the session (using live CD)
[10:52] <Apollo^101> Flannel, thanks
[10:52] <JohntheChristian> i tried that, it got stuck there too, but I could give it another shot, i'll be back if that does not works\
[10:52] <JohntheChristian> thanks
[10:52] <GionnyBoss> JohntheChristian: and you have to be patient, too... Live CD needs a lot of time to run... so just try to wait a little bit
[10:52] <Jouda> I cant set frequency higher 60Hz, where can I set monitor
[10:52] <Flannel> JohntheChristian: if it gets stuck verifying, then it's a bad burn.  Verify the md5 of the iso, and reburn at 4x
[10:52] <Enselic> JohntheChristian: if you got stuck at errorcheck, then you need to rewrite the c d :)
[10:52] <tbuss> I have been trying to load a profile picture in Ubuntu Forums. I have checked filesize, extension, I have tried loading from website and from local drive. What am I doing wrong?
[10:53] <JohntheChristian> i was waiting about 20 minutes, is that an accurate time?
[10:53] <Flannel> tbuss: #ubuntuforums for forum help
[10:53] <syte> whenever i try to change my theme, i get emerald:5868 error
[10:53] <bbm4n> hmm i get an error its same in kubuntu as in ubuntu?
[10:53] <Enselic> JohntheChristian: 20 min is too long
[10:53] <Apollo^101> Flannel, alternate cd can be used to make a fresh install too? the diff in live and alternate is that live only  runs distro without installing it?
[10:53] <tmccrary> Hi, how do I enable output from the kernel when booting? I want to see the text about the drivers being loaded, etc
[10:53] <Enselic> JohntheChristian: 1,3 GHz 512 MB RAM takes less atleast
[10:53] <JohntheChristian> how long should I expect realistically
[10:53] <JohntheChristian> I have 756 ram
[10:53] <Mynthon> http://www.voinaroz.lv/?auk=2i1i18g2oxz
[10:53] <bam79> Well, it appears that my wireless card isn't supported by Ubuntu, nor does it work with ndiswrapper... looks like I'm reformatting and getting rid of Ubuntu. Thanks for your time.
[10:53] <Flannel> Apollo^101: Live can install it.  Alternate is ONLY an installer.  Well, and a repository.  You use that repository on the CD to upgrade.
[10:53] <Enselic> JohntheChristian: several minutes, but not longer than 10 iirc
[10:54] <GionnyBoss> jonathaN: yeah it's an accurate time... at maximun 4-5 mins and it should load
[10:54] <JohntheChristian> thanks Enselic
[10:54] <JohntheChristian> tanks all
[10:54] <cables> Apollo^101, Alternate installer is a bit more advanced. LiveCD installer is easy to use and you can do stuff like surf the web while you wait... seriously.
[10:54] <JohntheChristian> do you think the ISO may be bad or the actual disk?
[10:54] <cables> JohntheChristian, you can scan disk integrity
[10:54] <luke> I have 5 minutes with Ubuntu live CD (256 mB ram)
[10:54] <samuraya> how i can install a tiff pluggin
[10:54] <cables> JohntheChristian, and run an md5 on your ISO file
[10:54] <Sverre^> that's a secret
[10:54] <Flannel> JohntheChristian: verify the md5 of the ISO first, that'll tell you if the iso isgood
[10:55] <samuraya> in ubunto
[10:55] <AnObfuscator> Question: every time I add a new item to "startup programs" under "sessions", sessions doesn't save the change. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
[10:55] <cables> !md5 | JohntheChristian
[10:55] <ubotu> JohntheChristian: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[10:55] <JohntheChristian> thank you
[10:55] <tbuss> is there a list of actual topics covered here, or is it open to anything Ubuntu
[10:55] <syte> can anyone please help me get beryl working :(
[10:56] <cables> syte, go to #ubuntu-effects
[10:56] <JohntheChristian> the check thing will run in windows right?
[10:56] <Flannel> tbuss: This is ubuntu support.  If you have a non-support related thing, #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:56] <syte> i did
[10:56] <cables> JohntheChristian, follow the link
[10:56] <JohntheChristian> i did
[10:56] <cables> JohntheChristian, the Windows linke
[10:56] <cables> *link
[10:56] <JohntheChristian> ok
[10:56] <cables> JohntheChristian, the second one...
[10:56] <JohntheChristian> ic thanks
[10:56] <cables> !md5 > JohntheChristian
[10:57] <Xteven> damn, there are some fine icons in /usr/share/app-install/icons on my edgy
[10:57] <Xteven> I wonder who creates all those
[10:58] <JohntheChristian> this won
[10:58] <JohntheChristian> this won't altar windows will it?
[10:58] <luke> what? using live CD?
[10:58] <cables> JohntheChristian, you have to install software on Windows... depends on your definition of alter.
[10:58] <cables> JohntheChristian, you mean to scan the md5?
[10:58] <JohntheChristian> yes the MD5
[10:58] <Apollo^101> thanks all
[10:58] <cables> JohntheChristian, no
[10:58] <JohntheChristian> thanks cables
[10:59] <livingdaylight> I came across this site http://www.undergroundsatellite.com/index-2.html its about having sattelite televion through one's computer using their software, but Alas, it is for windows users only AGAIN. I wondered if there is any way I can as a Linux user also get Sattelite televsion through my computer?
[10:59] <JohntheChristian> WINE?
[10:59] <GionnyBoss> JohntheChristian: you won't alter your windows untill you install and when you use gparted (the partition manager) specifically delete windows partition. IF you don't do this, no problem for your windows
[10:59] <JohntheChristian> i know little about linux that's why i live it lol
[10:59] <JohntheChristian> ok
[10:59] <JohntheChristian> tanks
[10:59] <JohntheChristian> windows is too important to me lol
[11:00] <Ind[y] > Nobody never had problems with Metacity being really slow?
[11:00] <GionnyBoss> JohntheChristian: you can install any linux distro without altering Windows and still booting both OSs
[11:00] <luke> does anyboddy know how I get Proton+ Picbasic working with wine?
[11:00] <JohntheChristian> ok
[11:00] <dagat> where can i ask questions about ubuntu 7.04?
[11:00] <JohntheChristian> so to confirm what you've told me
[11:01] <Flannel> dagat: #ubuntu+1
[11:01] <JohntheChristian> I download those files, go to dos prompt and check the md5
[11:01] <luke> or did anyone do it before? running Proton under wine?
[11:01] <Flannel> JohntheChristian: and if the md5 matches the one on the download page, you know your ISO is good, and that the issue is with the burn
[11:01] <JohntheChristian> ok
[11:01] <JohntheChristian> gotcha
[11:02] <JohntheChristian> thanks
[11:02] <dagat> Flannel: Thank you, is there anywhere specific i can go to ask questions about the JACK audio connection manager?
[11:02] <RainCT> Hi, I'm running Feisty (beta). There was a "explorer.exe" on my process list (killed it now), anybody know wtf this can be?
[11:02] <Flannel> dagat: Uh.  This channel would be it.  You might also try the forums (ubuntuforums.org)
[11:02] <Flannel> RainCT: #ubuntu+1 for Feisty support
[11:03] <dagat> ok, well basically im trying to run JACK with realtime enabled; but it just wont work
[11:03] <RainCT> Flannel: ok thx
[11:03] <thadthudpucker> my monitor is running at 73 hz refresh, but the setting in ubuntu is 75 hz with no other options. is there a fix?
[11:04] <changinfaces> I recently bought a wireless router (802.11g ZIO).  When I'm in Windows Xp the netsurfing(viewing webpages) and download speed seems normal
[11:04] <Flannel> dagat: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToJACKConfiguration  might help.  I don't know
[11:04] <dagat> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2397241#post2397241 this is the thread; but nothing seems to work
[11:04] <changinfaces> but when I'm in Ubuntu the netsurfing speed is maybe just a bit faster than 56k
[11:04] <binfalse> I'll find out
[11:04] <dagat> i've followed all of those, as well:/
[11:05] <dagat> it seems fruitless
[11:05] <changinfaces> the download speed is alright tho
[11:05] <Flannel> dagat: Did you check for bugs in launchpad?
[11:05] <welshchris> changinfaces: in firefox?
[11:05] <dagat> how do i do that
[11:05] <changinfaces> welshcris: yes
[11:05] <Flannel> dagat: launchpad.net  find the JACK package (er, whatever the package is) in ubuntu, then search for a bug re: that.
[11:06] <welshchris> changinfaces: I have to disable ipv6 protocl in firefox before I get a quick connection.

[11:06] <burkmat> Trying to mount my ext. HDD (NTFS) in Ubuntu. mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/blah doesn't work, so I got the ntfs-3g, which won't work either, simply because Ubuntu refuses to accept the hdd as NTFS claiming "The device '/dev/sda1' doesn't have a valid NTFS.".
[11:07] <pkilgore_> Is there a way to use automake-1.8 by default?
[11:08] <leo> hi

[11:09] <samuraya> hi
[11:09] <hateyla> well When i Restart my Computer to Recovery mode.. then there is prompt on " *Setting up console font and keymap... Give Root password for maintenance (or type Control-D to Continue):" but i give there my password which one i set.. but its not accepting.
[11:09] <samuraya> who know about samba
[11:09] <changinfaces> welshcris: I'll give that a try thx.  :>  (It seems like a common issue)
[11:09] <luke> hateya, i have that problem too
[11:10] <hateyla> luke: then you get any help for fix that ?
[11:10] <luke> I have a lot of problems, but i'm a newbe so it seems to be normal :P
[11:10] <hateyla> r0fl
[11:10] <luke> typing ctr-D?
[11:10] <Suurorca>  yeah.... seems absurd that root account is disabled, but recovery mode still demands root pass =p
[11:10] <hateyla> luke: dont tell anybody im n00b too :p
[11:10] <Flannel> hateyla: that's asking for your root password, not your user password.  Why did you set a root password?
[11:10] <Flannel> Suurorca: it doesn't, unless you set one.
[11:11] <r3zon8> should i be able to run Beryl on a mobility 9600 smoothyl?
[11:11] <hateyla> Flannel i aint set any root passwd
[11:11] <Chetwin> I can not access my vista partition after installing ubuntu.  Can someone please help???
[11:11] <r3zon8> smoothly*
[11:11] <fdoving> Suurorca: recovery mode demands root pass? then there is something wrong. it should not do that.
[11:11] <Flannel> r3zon8: #ubuntu-effects for beryl support
[11:11] <luke> o, does it need the root password
[11:11] <thadthudpucker> any tips on the llc?
[11:11] <r3zon8> sorry, thanks
[11:11] <thadthudpucker> my monitor is running at 73 hz refresh, but the setting in ubuntu is 75 hz with no other options. is there a fix?
[11:11] <luke> I found something somewhere how to edit that...
[11:11] <Flannel> hateyla: you obviously have.  Do you have a liveCD?  We can re-set the root pass, and lock it even.
[11:11] <luke> to something human readable
[11:11] <Chetwin> Can anyone help me to fix my bootloader so I can boot into vista???
[11:11] <Suurorca> never paid any attention to that when I still had edgy
[11:12] <hateyla> Flannel: ya i have the live cd of edgy
[11:12] <luke> chetwin: with a boot disk use Fdisk /mbr
[11:12] <Flannel> hateyla: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword
[11:12] <burkmat> Trying to mount my ext. HDD (NTFS) in Ubuntu. mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/blah doesn't work, so I got the ntfs-3g, which won't work either, simply because Ubuntu refuses to accept the hdd as NTFS claiming "The device '/dev/sda1' doesn't have a valid NTFS.".
[11:12] <Chetwin> luke: what boot disk?
[11:12] <samuraya> why i can mount with non roots accounts for samba shares?
[11:12] <hateyla> Flannel: but i dont set any root passwd.. then how i lost it ?
[11:12] <Flannel> hateyla: follow that to re-set your root password.  And once you've gotten in, do 'sudo password -l root' to lock the root account again.
[11:12] <luke> a windows 98 one 'll do
[11:12] <Flannel> hateyla: You must have at some point.
[11:13] <Flannel> hateyla: Is this on edgy? or feisty?
[11:13] <luke> there is a random root password
[11:13] <hateyla> Flannel: i just Created User Account And Used that ..
[11:13] <Flannel> luke: no there isnt
[11:13] <hateyla> Flannel: i m using edgy
[11:13] <luke> well, then i'm wrong, sorry
[11:13] <Chetwin> luke can you assist me further
[11:13] <hateyla> Flannel: well when i press Control-D .. awl things working fine.
[11:14] <Flannel> hateyla: oh?  interesting.  Maybe that's... just how that propmt works then.  Odd.
[11:14] <Flannel> hateyla: I haven't used edgy.  So it mightve changed.
[11:14] <Zonny> hello. is there someone running ubuntu on a HP Pavilion dv6000 or dv9000 series with an AMD X2 processor?
[11:14] <Flannel> hateyla: if youcan get by with ^D, you don't hvae a root password
[11:14] <Suurorca> the thing with recovery mode is that it's supposed to stop there and let you fix things from the console, not go on starting all the other services
[11:14] <xtknight> !anyone | Zonny
[11:14] <ubotu> Zonny: 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?
[11:14] <spasticteapot> Does anyone know of a good Ubuntu-compatible P2P program?
[11:14] <Flannel> hateyla: it's just a poorly worded prompt
[11:14] <spasticteapot> I have some legal (!) downloading to do.
[11:14] <hateyla> Flannel: yes i have Access with Ctrl-D all thingy working fine after that.
[11:15] <burkmat> Trying to mount my ext. HDD (NTFS) in Ubuntu. mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/blah doesn't work, so I got the ntfs-3g, which won't work either, simply because Ubuntu refuses to accept the hdd as NTFS claiming "The device '/dev/sda1' doesn't have a valid NTFS.".
[11:15] <spasticteapot> I kinda lost my copy of Shadowrun 4, and I figure if I paid for the dead tree version, I'm entitled to digital.
[11:15] <Flannel> hateyla: right.  It should say something like "enter your root pass if you've set one, or ctrl-D if you havent"
[11:15] <spasticteapot> So....P2P anyone?
[11:15] <hateyla> Flannel: ya i know that.. c0z i aint set any root passwd. thats why i m saying.
[11:15] <MarkFeathers>  /msg nickserv set unfiltered on
[11:15] <Zonny> well if someone knows if the new beta is running better with dv6000/9000 series can share that info
[11:15] <spasticteapot> Zonny: I'm using it on my Thinkpad X40 without trouble.
[11:15] <MarkFeathers> spasticteapot, Frostwire & azureus
[11:16] <hateyla> Flannel: Something like "Give root password for maintence or type Control-D
[11:16] <hateyla> *for continue
[11:16] <spasticteapot> MarkFeathers: Where can I download a .deb? OR do I need to compile it?
[11:16] <xtknight> Zonny, is the dv9000/9000 a core 2 duo?
[11:16] <Zonny> nope, 2
[11:16] <Flannel> !frostwire | spasticteapot
[11:16] <ubotu> spasticteapot: frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[11:16] <Zonny> *nope, Truion x2
[11:16] <Zonny> *Turion ffs.
[11:16] <samuraya> hi
[11:17] <Zonny> and there
[11:17] <MarkFeathers> spasticteapot, ubuntuguide.org has instructions to set them both up (frostwire is a deb and azurues should be installed manually to avoid the crappy built in java)
[11:17] <pavs> howd o i install an rpm file, i know i can do it in red hat is itpossible in ubuntu?
[11:17] <samuraya> when i use credentials in smbmount
[11:17] <pavs> !fiesty
[11:17] <ubotu> The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn") should be released in April 2007. Beta is out! http://www.ubuntu.com/news/Ubuntu704Beta Schedule: !schedule - Specifications (goals): https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/feisty - Help and support in #ubuntu+1 (NOT #ubuntu)
[11:17] <hateyla> Flannel: can i set root passwd from terminal.. if i m going with control-D then with terminal help can i set it?
[11:17] <MarkFeathers> pavs, Use the program "alien" to convert it to a .deb
[11:17] <samuraya> wich user i have to configure in /etc/samba/user
[11:17] <samuraya> ?
[11:17] <MarkFeathers> !alien | pavs
[11:17] <ubotu> pavs: 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)
[11:17] <Flannel> hateyla: there's absolutely NO reason to set a root password
[11:17] <lucifiel> xtknight: hey dude, just gotta ask you something quick. After it's released, will feisty be much more reliable than fawn?
[11:17] <pavs> its dangerous? :)
[11:17] <hateyla> ummm
[11:17] <xtknight> lucifiel, i dont believe that the beta as it stands is that bad
[11:18] <Flannel> pavs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RPM/AlienHowto
[11:18] <hateyla> Flannel: then how can i maintain it :S
[11:18] <xtknight> dapper beta was rock solid
[11:18] <Flannel> hateyla: what?
[11:18] <xtknight> edgy beta was rough.  feisty beta is looking good
[11:18] <hateyla> xtknight: right :) dapper working awsome in my laptop :s
[11:18] <Flannel> xtknight: edgy only had four months.
[11:18] <lucifiel> xtknight: right ... though i dunno why i was unlucky enough to get so many problems. many it's 'cos of some driver issue...
[11:18] <Pelo> lucifiel,  fiesty is fawn,  the full name of the distro is  ubuntu 7.04  Feisty Fawn
[11:18] <aricz> hateyla: They're trying to make us use 'sudo' all the time .. :)
[11:19] <lucifiel> pelo: yeah know that but i'm feeling kinda sleep.
[11:19] <lucifiel> *sleepy
[11:19] <phanter> hey there...
[11:19] <nice> HOw can i install the lastest gaim version !?!?!?!?
[11:19] <xtknight> lucifiel, have a big warm cup of ubuntu and come back
[11:19] <hateyla> aricz: sudo not bad .. its good.. using root as a user its dangerous sometime :)
[11:19] <lucifiel> xtknight: ah well... errr lol thanks for the offer though a bit... no no no guys, what i need ish sleep! :P
[11:19] <MarkFeathers> nice, check ubuntuforums.org for specific instructions... but what are you really trying to get by upgrading?
[11:19] <lucifiel> xtknight: it's 5.20 a.m. right now and i have not slept yet.
[11:20] <Flannel> hateyla: there's no reason to use the root user.  As such, there's no reason to have the root account active
[11:20] <aricz> hateyla: yes.. dangerous
[11:20] <xtknight> lucifel, ouch
[11:20] <phanter> I have an ATI videocard and I enabled dual monitor support in the form of an extended desktop. It works nicely in KDE, but not in Gnome. Since I prefer to work in Gnome I was wondering if any of you knows how to taqckle this problem?
[11:20] <nice> MarkFeathers,  the lastest gaim version
[11:20] <MarkFeathers> nice, Yes, but why?
[11:20] <Joemo> Does anyone know where I can find the most updated instructions for installing Compiz on Edgy
[11:20] <ud-> how can I get ati sound drivers for my laptop, they're gone in feisty :/, alsaconf doesnt show anything compatible
[11:20] <Flannel> Joemo: #ubuntu-effects
[11:20] <Pelo> phanter,  I am sure there is a howto in the forum
[11:20] <nice> MarkFeathers,  cuz i want it :) hahaha this version doesn't has displays
[11:20] <MarkFeathers> ud-, ati doesn't make sound cards
[11:20] <jusama14> hey, has anyone had problems running counter-strike on ubuntu using wine?
[11:20] <lucifiel> xtknight: anyways yeah hmmm so feisty is pretty stable, huh? i was wondering if i ought to hold off on getting it until the pre-development is released.
[11:20] <MarkFeathers> nice, What do you mean by displays?
[11:20] <Joemo> Flannel: Thank you
[11:21] <nice> pictures
[11:21] <hateyla> Flannel: is Ubuntu Support " wine " ?
[11:21] <phanter> Pelo: I searched for them there, but there is nothing that looks like this problem
[11:21] <nice> like messeger
[11:21] <xtknight> jusama14, probably lots of people.  #winehq is a good channel for that
[11:21] <Pelo> jusama14,   try asking in #winehq
[11:21] <ud-> MarkFeather lspci says otherwise, unless it's based on another chip?
[11:21] <jusama14> yeah on there
[11:21] <MarkFeathers> ud-, what exactly does the line say?
[11:21] <Flannel> hateyla: Ubuntu has wine in the repositories, yes.  It's in universe, so it's not 'officially' supported
[11:21] <xtknight> lucifiel, by "pre-development" do you mean the release candidate?
[11:21] <Flannel> hateyla: it's community supported
[11:21] <MarkFeathers> ud-, You might have an all in wonder card which would show up as having audio in / out
[11:21] <xtknight> or the pre-dev of the next ubuntu?
[11:21] <felixhcat> hello
[11:21] <ud-> 0MarkFeathers 0:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio (rev 01)
[11:21] <eliran> sup?
[11:22] <lucifiel> xtknight: yeah sorry... that's the right one...
[11:22] <xtknight> amd/ati makes south bridges with HD audio
[11:22] <hateyla> Flannel: thanks.. is there anyway or any help for Wine ? i want to use wine ?
[11:22] <lucifiel> xtknight: 'cos mmm even though dapper's crashing a bit it's still workable in.
[11:22] <hateyla> !wine
[11:22] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[11:22] <Flannel> hateyla: You can ask here.  You'll probably get better responses (in teh configuring/using of wine) in #winehq though.
[11:23] <MarkFeathers> ud-, I stand corrected, one of my friends here just claimed he's used one before, sorry i dont know how to get that to work, but check out alsa's site for what module you need
[11:23] <Pelo> phanter,  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174&highlight=dual+monitor+gnome
[11:23] <fraudster> what is svideo used for ?
[11:23] <eliran> not sure
[11:23] <xtknight> fraudster, it's an analog connection transmits a video signal
[11:23] <Pelo> fraudster,   hi rez tvout
[11:23] <xtknight> it transmits luminance (brightness) and chrominance (color)
[11:23] <nice> so MarkFeathers  ?
[11:23] <phanter> Pelo, I tried that and it does not work (for gnome)
[11:23] <MarkFeathers> not really hi res
[11:23] <fraudster> xtknight, to what?
[11:23] <ud-> MarkFeathers thanks
[11:23] <xtknight> fraudster, on video card, an Svideo transmits the desktop video to a TV
[11:24] <hateyla> Flannel: so i can use all applications through wine?
[11:24] <MarkFeathers> nice, like i said, check out ubuntuforums.org (they should have instructions for setting up gaim in tips/tutorials)
[11:24] <fraudster> xtknight, so it is output not input ?
[11:24] <xtknight> fraudster, it's a connection
[11:24] <MarkFeathers> ud-, Your welcome
[11:24] <xtknight> fraudster, TV inputs svideo.  video outputs Svideo
[11:24] <xtknight> same connector on both sides
[11:24] <dagat> flannel: i checked that site, but it doesn't really mention anything about the realtime problems. any other thoughts?
[11:24] <fraudster> xtknight, yes
[11:24] <xtknight> dagat, realtime problems?
[11:24] <Flannel> hateyla: uh.  Wine doesn't work with /all/ programs, but it works pretty well with most of them.  checkout winehq.com for compatability lists and stuff
[11:24] <jusama14> how do i get my glxinfo on ubuntu
[11:25] <lucifiel> xtknight: oh well... hmmm... nevermind, i'm going off for a nap or something. thanks anyway. :)
[11:25] <fraudster> xtknight, is that possible to be done on a dvd player ?
[11:25] <xtknight> jusama14, type glxinfo in the console
[11:25] <MarkFeathers> jusama14, open up a terminal and type in "glxinfo"
[11:25] <xtknight> fraudster, dvd players can output svideo
[11:25] <hateyla> Flannel oke thanks.. let me check the web
[11:25] <xtknight> lucifiel, yup
[11:25] <fraudster> xtknight, to a wired tv ?
[11:25] <xtknight> fraudster, a dvd player can output svideo, and a tv can input it
[11:25] <xtknight> thus being able to watch a dvd
[11:26] <fraudster> xtknight, one sec, so you can plug a dvd player to the video card and watch a dvd on the computer?
[11:26] <hateyla> Flannel: winhq.com ? is the website?
[11:26] <xtknight> fraudster, on video cards with VIVO (Video in Video out), yes.
[11:26] <lucifiel> xtknight: yup? so you mean wait till the release next work, huh? Yeah that might be a good idea as opposed to getting it now, huh?
[11:27] <xtknight> lucifiel, oh just meant 'your welcome' 'cya later' etc ;P
[11:27] <fraudster> xtknight, and normal ones ?
[11:27] <lucifiel> xtknight: oh okay ... no comments about the waiting part, huh? :P
[11:27] <salchicha> Hi there, after upgrading to feisty my system hangs at lvm. when i ctr-alt-del however resumes boot. then i have to mount my filesystems manually. is this related to the known bugs concerning mdadm?
[11:27] <xtknight> lucifiel, i wouldnt bother waiting.  doubt it'll get any more stable
[11:27] <xtknight> fraudster, video cards with TV out only OUTput svideo.  they can not INput it
[11:28] <xtknight> fraudster, watching a dvd on the PC is best done via a DVD-RW IDE/SATA drive and an mpeg2 decoer
[11:28] <lucifiel> xtknight: right, so get it now... and hope there're no problems this time round? okay dokie... well going for a nap now. cu xD
[11:28] <Joemo> Xchat crashes a lot on my two machines running Edgy.  Anyone else have this issue?
[11:28] <lucifiel> xtknight: thank you for all the advice and help. : )
[11:28] <dagat> xtknight: yes with JACK audio connection manager; im using qjack ctl, and it wont start if i enable 'realtime' but this is what i really really need
[11:28] <xtknight> no problem
[11:28] <xtknight> dagat, realtime?  like ASIO?
[11:28] <hateyla> Joemo: same with me :p thats why i m using.. the best GAIM :)

[11:29] <dagat> xtknight: almost, i had to patch my ubuntu kernel to Lowlatency, you apparently have to edit allow permissions, to may the realtime option work
[11:30] <theacolyte> gnomefreak: it seems like it :)
[11:30] <Pelo> Seveas,  make the channel invite only for a few minutes
[11:30] <changinfaces> welshchris: will not affect* I meant in my second question
[11:30] <jusama14> What is the easiest way to set up my wireless airlink 101 usb card on Ubuntu
[11:30] <MarkFeathers> changinfaces, ipv6 is not in use in most locations, so It wont hurt anything to disable it
[11:30] <hateyla> +r or +R for register nick only
[11:30] <xtknight> dagat, ahh hmm.  i had a realtime patch working
[11:30] <dagat> xtknight: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2397241#post2397241 this is my thread; that user has really helped me, but it's still not working
[11:30] <Pelo> !wireless | jusama14
[11:30] <xtknight> dagat, but i couldnt prove that it was realtime i guess... i cant help anything beyond applying ingo's patch

[11:31] <Pelo> dauoalagio2,   both
[11:31] <changinfaces> MarkFeathers: what do you mean by *locations*?
[11:31] <dauoalagio2> how much video memory
[11:31] <fraudster> xtknight, what cards can input it ?
[11:31] <Pelo> dauoalagio2,   for info on beryl try #beryl
[11:31] <Linuturk> dauoalagio2, a better prediction of what it will do on your system depends on your hardware
[11:31] <ompaul> Seveas, shall I do the -read-topic ?
[11:31] <xtknight> fraudster, s-video?  geforce 6xxx-8xxx series, ati radeon X series
[11:31] <Seveas> ompaul, be my guest :)
[11:31] <xtknight> fraudster, look for 'VIVO'
[11:31] <dauoalagio2> oh okay, thanks pelo and Linuturk
[11:32] <xtknight> any gamer video card can do VIVO, pretty much.
[11:32] <MarkFeathers> changinfaces, I think have ipv6 in use in like china or japan, but it isn't implemented correctly yet
[11:32] <ompaul> folks you will see several bans it is for those who lost connection and need to fix their settings
[11:32] <xtknight> fraudster,  ATI's AVIVO doesn't mean VIVO.  well usually, but not technically.  make sure it has S-video input
[11:32] <fraudster> xtknight, then you can plug your video card to a dvd player and get output (from the dvd player) inputted into the vdeo card ?
[11:32] <xtknight> fraudster, any reason you're not using a DVD IDE/SATA drive?
[11:32] <xtknight> fraudster, but yes..
[11:33] <fraudster> xtknight, cool.
[11:33] <salchicha> have to ask again anyone know about bugs in feisty causing it to hang on lvm during boot?
[11:33] <xtknight> dont know about vivo in linux, though
[11:33] <xtknight> !feisty
[11:33] <ubotu> The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn") should be released in April 2007.

[11:33] <fraudster> xtknight, how about in windows ?
[11:33] <changinfaces> MarkFeathers: okay I'll try disabling now and see if there is a speed improvement.  thx
[11:33] <xtknight> fraudster, generally easy.  it is recognized as a WDM capture device
[11:33] <Md> MarkFeathers: I know of many chinese users who use IPv6 to IPv4 web gateways to access banned sites. and there is relevant v6 peer to peer traffic in japan and korea is
[11:33] <xtknight> any video cap program can record svideo
[11:33] <MarkFeathers> changinfaces, go for it, but just so ya know it really doesn't help that much
[11:33] <fraudster> xtknight, WDM ?
[11:34] <xtknight> fraudster, windows driver model
[11:34] <fraudster> xtknight, what is that ?
[11:34] <xtknight> fraudster, the basis of windows drivers.  VIVO drivers are usually labeled 'WDM capture drivers'
[11:34] <MarkFeathers> What is going on with all hte leaving/joining?

[11:36] <fraudster> theacolyte, why ?
[11:36] <xtknight> felixhummel, do you mean, a file that you currently have?  or are looking for?
[11:36] <felixhummel> looking for
[11:37] <felixhummel> xtknight, i want to search online repositories for a certain file
[11:37] <xtknight> felixhummel, to trace a file back to its package, run 'sudo dpkg -S /asdf/file

[11:37] <xtknight> lol
[11:37] <fraudster> theacolyte, that *was* a netsplit
[11:37] <theacolyte> fraudster: no, it wasn't
[11:37] <RichiH> ompaul: i am here, now
[11:37] <Seveas> fraudster, it was not.
[11:37] <fraudster> theacolyte, which one ?
[11:38] <xtknight> netsplit between which two servers?
[11:38] <xtknight> i didn't see it
[11:38] <felixhummel> thanks, xtknight (i'll note the other one down -- might come in handy) ;)
[11:38] <theacolyte> xtknight: I run a Cisco ASA5510 (PIX, VPN concentrator)
[11:38] <Seveas> RichiH, hi. We had some DCC fools again
[11:38] <theacolyte> xtknight: it wasn't a netsplit
[11:38] <xtknight> have a giant cookie
[11:38] <xtknight> lol
[11:38] <xtknight> i know ;)
[11:38] <MarkFeathers> Why is it safe to use port 8001.  Is that like the https equivilent for irc?
[11:38] <fraudster> theacolyte, what exploit ?
[11:38] <cafuego_> Hmm
[11:38] <RichiH> Seveas: yah, i see. the ones that hit me are gone, already
[11:38] <changinfaces> MarkFeathers: I'm holding my horses, lol.  did you read my what my initial problem was?  Basically I bought ZIO wireless router and in windows xp I did not feel any speed decrease but in Ubuntu Edgy I felt a significant netsurf speed drop (Download speed is okay tho)
[11:38] <xtknight> MarkFeathers, i dont know.  they shuold just secure 6667
[11:38] <cafuego_> Seveas: could you try that exploit on me?
[11:39] <theacolyte> !exploit > fraudster (check your PM)
[11:39] <fraudster> theacolyte, heh
[11:39] <fraudster> theacolyte, no one has sent me the dcc :P
[11:39] <r00tintheb0x> word UP
[11:40] <changinfaces> MarkFeathers: have you had similar experience yourself?
[11:40] <MarkFeathers> changinfaces, diable ipv6 in firefox and in ubuntu.  Might help some, but i've disabled ipv6 and felt almost no difference
[11:40] <theacolyte> They did it to the whole channel -- you just aren't vulnerable.
[11:40] <man_id_unknown> how do I update GTK from the terminal?
[11:40] <brad_> what is GTK?
[11:40] <fraudster> theacolyte, how dose the exploit work ?
[11:40] <xtknight> my xchat says this * Received a malformed DCC request
[11:40] <fraudster> nothing here
[11:40] <brad_> Ive been hearing about it alot
[11:40] <ud-> disabling ipv6 on my gentoo system led to a big speedup in resolving
[11:40] <cafuego_> Seveas: thanks :-)
[11:40] <MarkFeathers> man_id_unknown, You can upgrade using "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y" to upgrade everything.  I dont know specifically about gtk
[11:41] <xtknight> !gtk | brad_
[11:41] <Seveas> cafuego_, de nada
[11:41] <man_id_unknown> GTK is on of the, if not the, most popular Linux GUIs
[11:41] <xtknight> gtk is the basis of GNOME apps
[11:41] <cafuego_> 't was my ISP going arse over tit then
[11:41] <man_id_unknown> Exactly.
[11:41] <motin> I made some apparently wrong changes with the login screen configuration, and now I can't change it back! I enabled XDMCP and set Ignore TCP login something to FALSE (my goal was to be able to login to my vnc server att display :1). Now when I login, I am met by a "choose which server to login to" something screen before i am able to login! Great for demonstrating the terminal services functionality but how do I turn this
[11:41] <motin> off? I tried disabling xdmcp and changd back the tcp setting but I still got to the same screen on bootup  except this time I couldnt log on at all (apparently because of the safety restrictions I put back) - se there was I with a command prompt only. After some while I found /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf so I could change the settings back but the server list option before login is still there and annoys me!
[11:41] <brad_> oh
[11:41] <fraudster> qt loves me
[11:41] <fraudster> heh
[11:41] <xtknight> it provides graphics libraries and some lowlevel things
[11:41] <theacolyte> fraudster: I'm not going to go into specifics in this channel, you can find the information readily enough if you look. Keep in mind you'd end up with a big fat ban if you use it in any channel (and possible k-line)
[11:41] <ubotu> brad_: GTK is the !GIMP toolkit, which forms the base of !GNOME and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI
[11:41] <MarkFeathers> changinfaces, I think it depends on your router.  When ubuntu first tries to connect, it uses ipv6.  Maybe it just depends on how the router responds
[11:41] <dyrne> changinfaces: ive found multiple dns servers in resolv.conf can slow down too. when i get a complaint usually thats it
[11:41] <MarkFeathers> !ipv6
[11:41] <ubotu> To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4
[11:41] <brad_> I thought X did that...
[11:42] <MarkFeathers> changinfaces, If you want to speed up your resloving, look into setting up opendns (google it)
[11:42] <brad_> what about KDE... does it use GTK too?
[11:42] <xtknight> X is a server that interfaces directly with HW
[11:42] <xtknight> brad_, no, KDE uses Qt
[11:42] <Seveas> brad_, kde uses qt
[11:42] <Matt101> why disable ipv6
[11:42] <dyrne> changinfaces: course i also noticed quite an improvement in freebsd vs ubuntu on wireless so maybe its a driver thing too
[11:42] <MarkFeathers> Matt101, Because it isn't in use and can slow down resolving domains
[11:43] <brad_> thanks
[11:43] <Matt101> havent been on much
[11:43] <man_id_unknown> So, to update GTK I would I type the following sudo apt-get update gtk ?
[11:43] <atoponce> well, that was fun. :)
[11:43] <Matt101> ahhh ok
[11:43] <MarkFeathers> man_id_unknown, "sudo apt-get update" will go through and update your repositories (where it finds packages).  "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" will upgrade everything.  I'm not sure if you can upgrade one package at a time.
[11:43] <MarkFeathers> man_id_unknown, What are you trying to achieve?
[11:43] <brad_> so I got another question then... why can I run KDE apps on gnome then..
[11:43] <Pelo> man_id_unknown,   better just let ubuntu take care of it,  the apt-get command will ot update or upgrade anything that is not in the  repos in anycase , wich means you probably have the most recent package as it is
[11:44] <changinfaces> dyrne: I'm not using wireless on ubuntu but thx for your input :>
[11:44] <MarkFeathers> brad_, Because qt can work on gnome, just as gtk can work on kde
[11:44] <man_id_unknown> Thank you MarkFeathers & Pelo.
[11:44] <MarkFeathers> man_id_unknown, Your welcome
[11:44] <changinfaces> MarkFeathers: did you set one up yourself?
[11:44] <brad_> so ubuntu has them both installed I take it
[11:44] <ehj20> I've got a problem with nautilus in feisty: it crashes when i try to browse a large nfs directory (well, large-ish, containing 250 odd directories). It's a read only volume, if that makes any difference. Anyone else seen this?
[11:45] <stefg> brad_: because dpkg/apt is a brilliant piece of software thet resolves the dependencies all by itself :-)
[11:45] <Matt101> cant you just unchecked the dcc boxes in the Xchat pref's
[11:45] <brad_> sweet
[11:45] <Digitass> newbie here. Im trying to install Linux media center. Had ubuntu desktop version (easy to use and worked perfect), but it says in the linuxmediacenter homepage that i need server version and i dont understand a bit of it :) how do you start the x server?
[11:45] <MarkFeathers> changinfaces, I have a fast dns server that is nearby, so I use that, but if your isp is bad (which isn't uncommon) then you can use something like opendns.  I have used it before and it is really simple to set up
[11:45] <brad_> i love linux :)
[11:46] <Intangir> what is this disk usage analyzer that comes with ubuntu, its title bar just says 'Disk Usage Analyzer' but what is the package for it?
[11:46] <MarkFeathers> changinfaces, You dont actually set up a domain name server, opendns is a public dns that is fairly quick
[11:46] <dyrne> Digitass: there shouldnt be a reason for you not to be able to use desktop version of ubuntu. both use same repos and packages
[11:46] <stefg> !info baobab | Intangir
[11:46] <MarkFeathers> intagir: baobab
[11:46] <ubotu> intangir: Package baobab does not exist in edgy, edgy-backports, edgy-seveas
[11:46] <brad_> maybe you guys can help me understand this then too... it it possible to run apps like openoffice, or GIMP, xterm or anything with just X server and thats it
[11:46] <brad_> ?
[11:47] <stefg> !info baobab dapper | Intangir
[11:47] <MarkFeathers> brad_, Yes, but it is difficult to use
[11:47] <Intangir> thanks
[11:47] <hateyla> i want to add specific lan ip in eth0 how can i edit it?
[11:47] <xtknight> Intangir, gnome-utils: /usr/bin/baobab
[11:47] <hateyla> *add
[11:47] <xtknight> !info gnome-utils | Intangir
[11:47] <MarkFeathers> brad_, if you want to be minimalistic, look into openbox as your window manager
[11:47] <ubotu> intangir: baobab: graphical tool to analyse directory trees. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.3.1-1 (dapper), package size 95 kB, installed size 584 kB
[11:47] <eck> brad_: gtk/qt are just api layers that make it easy to write applications that use X11, all the actual drawing is done by X11
[11:47] <Digitass> http://www.linuxmce.com/ says you need the server version
[11:47] <mrflakes> hey all, i am tryin to execute a short script from the command line as sudo but it won't work:    sudo for i in *.jpg; do echo $i; done;  THis works without sudo but i am trying to process some files owned by root and it would help to get this running
[11:47] <philw> brad_, yes, but you really need a window manager
[11:47] <ubotu> intangir: gnome-utils: GNOME desktop utilities. In component main, is optional. Version 2.16.1-0ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 2494 kB, installed size 10836 kB
[11:47] <changinfaces> changinfaces: "opendns" is a public dns that is fairly quick, does it mean that dns will be used by other ppl too or is it dedicated to me?  (Am I part of the dns update/propagation)?
[11:47] <eck> brad_: gtk and qt aren't actual programs on your computer, they're libraries that make it easy to use X11
[11:48] <MarkFeathers> Digitass, It is wrong, you dont need the server version.  Personally, i recommend setting up just a mythtv and doing it yourself (I had bad experiences with linux mce)
[11:48] <r00tintheb0x> mmm
[11:48] <r00tintheb0x> i love Wireshark
[11:48] <Digitass> ok thx alot :)
[11:48] <baconbacon> Digitass, it's like saying you need windows home edition, professionnal would do
[11:48] <brad_> I am trying to build a custom like kiosk with a touch screen and just wanna load an app on top of X, but it keeps telling me it cant open the display
[11:49] <zen> where do I get debuild?
[11:49] <Digitass> i quote the page "Server version of Ubuntu 6.10 is needed. It would seem that the server version is needed since you want to run the dhcp server but, it's not stated anywhere that I can see. Thanks! "
[11:49] <MarkFeathers> changinfaces, It is used by a lot of people, check out the website http://www.opendns.com/
[11:49] <zen> sudo aptitude search isn't showing it.
[11:49] <baconbacon> Digitass: Desktop is server with more packages as far as i know
[11:49] <eck> brad_: are you at a console or in X?
[11:49] <MarkFeathers> Digitass, you do not need the server version to install a dhcp server.  linuxmce installer will set up a dhcp server if you need it
[11:49] <brad_> in X right now
[11:50] <r00tintheb0x> X?
[11:50] <r00tintheb0x> You do drugs?!
[11:50] <brad_> but I will kill gdm and then try and load it in the console
[11:50] <eck> brad_: you should be able to run the application then, try checking the output of 'echo $DISPLAY'
[11:50] <eck> that will tell you your X11 display
[11:50] <Digitass> nice :) then im off too install the sweet desktop version again, thx again :)
[11:50] <MarkFeathers> !xorg | r00tintheb0x
[11:50] <ubotu> r00tintheb0x: 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
[11:50] <eck> it should be something like :0.0
[11:50] <aricz> Hola, how do I change the graphic-mode used in CLI? Someone told me "have fun with /boot" .. :)
[11:50] <dyrne> brad_: 'w' command to see whos using what and the from column for display. you can awk and grep the output to feed to a script for export or something.
[11:51] <mrflakes> can anyone see if this works for them at a bash prompt?    sudo for i in *; do echo $i; done;
[11:51] <eck> aricz: are you referring to the virtual terminals?
[11:51] <r00tintheb0x> MarkFeathers,
[11:51] <r00tintheb0x> Wireshark
[11:51] <MarkFeathers> aricz, What do you mean the graphic mode, like different resolutions?
[11:51] <r00tintheb0x> crap
[11:51] <MarkFeathers> r00tintheb0x, what about it
[11:51] <r00tintheb0x> i mean MarkFeathers
[11:51] <r00tintheb0x> root@malakai:~# Xorg -version
[11:51] <r00tintheb0x> X Window System Version 7.1.1
[11:51] <r00tintheb0x> =)
[11:51] <aricz> eck: no, what's the other terminals called? system terminals?
[11:51] <MarkFeathers> ok
[11:51] <r00tintheb0x> i was trying to make a funny
[11:51] <r00tintheb0x> lol
[11:51] <aricz> MarkFeathers: yep, different resolutions
[11:51] <stefg> aricz: http://lxr.linux.no/source/Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt
[11:52] <aricz> stefg: thank you, I'll check it out
[11:52] <hateyla> how can i change my eth0 ip in terminal?
[11:52] <dyrne> mrflakes: generally ./* might be more effective. what error are you getting?
[11:52] <eck> aricz: there are terminal emulators (like xterm and gnome-terminal) and virtual terminals (a.k.a. linux consoles), which are the ones you can switch to using ctrl+alt+f1 and so forth
[11:52] <MarkFeathers> aricz: the one i use is "vga=791"  Add that to your kernel= line in your menu.lst and you can have 1024x768 in your VTs
[11:52] <Flannel> aricz: you're best using vga=ask and going that way
[11:52] <xtknight> hateyla, sudo ifconfig eth0 address 192.168.x.x
[11:52] <xtknight> i think
[11:52] <mrflakes> dyrne: bash: syntax error near unexpected token `do'
[11:52] <brad_> yeah.... I try and load it from a virtual terminal
[11:52] <brad_> with just X
[11:52] <Matt101> ?????
[11:53] <hateyla> xtknight: fail
[11:53] <aricz> MarkFeathers: I just want 80x25 textmode.. or was it 80x40.. hehe
[11:53] <dyrne> mrflakes: /j bash if i dont help there someone else will be able to
[11:54] <mrflakes> dyrne: ah thanks
[11:54] <eck> brad_: it is more work to try to start a graphical application from a VT, you're better off just trying to load it from within X11 since that will need to be running for you to use the application anyway
[11:54] <aricz> eck: so ctrl+alt+f1 is a virtual terminal?
[11:54] <MarkFeathers> aricz, Someone else said to do vga=ask, try that and it will give you a list
[11:54] <eck> aricz: yes
[11:54] <hateyla> xtknight: any other idea? i tried with addr  but not working.
[11:54] <xtknight> hateyla, um just ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1
[11:54] <xtknight> ?
[11:54] <xtknight> sudo..*
[11:55] <MarkFeathers> hateyla, I thought it was just sudo ifconfig eth0 ip
[11:55] <hateyla> let me chk
[11:55] <brad_> well when I start X11 its just a blank screen and mouse....
[11:55] <hateyla> Hehehe
[11:55] <hateyla> ya :p
[11:55] <brad_> so I guess my question is how to load an app inside this environment
[11:55] <hateyla> its simple :S
[11:55] <xtknight> brad_, DISPLAY=:0 xterm
[11:55] <hateyla> thanks xtknight And MarkFeathers
[11:55] <joe4444> is there a LiveDVD?
[11:55] <brad_> ahh
[11:55] <xtknight> joe4444, yes
[11:55] <brad_> thanks
[11:55] <brad_> !
[11:56] <xtknight> joe4444, http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/releases/edgy/release/
[11:56] <joe4444> xtknight, i can't find a link
[11:56] <xtknight> i don't blame you, it is difficult to find.  i just memorize the URL
[11:56] <joe4444> thanks
[11:56] <brad_> so I would type "X DISPLAY=:0 sterm"
[11:56] <xtknight> brad_, umm
[11:56] <eck> brad_: also look at startx, you should at least start a terminal with the X session
[11:56] <xtknight> brad_, X -ac
[11:56] <xtknight> brad_, then DISPLAY=:0 xterm
[11:56] <hateyla> well I ping my server but net are working on my pc :< why?
[11:56] <hateyla> its showing the ping reply.
[11:57] <ber1> for my senior project which was due roughly two months ago, i need to make an informational pamphlet or brochure type thing. which open-source app would you guys recommend? the default open office suite doesn't seem to have anything curtailed specifically towards brochure making. anyone got any ideas? if you don't, i'll fail highschool. don't let that rest on your conscience.
[11:57] <hateyla> *oppps sorry
[11:57] <MarkFeathers> eck, He's trying to build a touchscreen terminal type thing, having extra terminals isn't something he would want
[11:57] <hateyla> want to say Ping reply from server.. but net are not working on my pc :<
[11:58] <oht> oh...
[11:58] <eck> oh, i would have a terminal open just to make it easier to start up other commands (e.g. to load the touchscreen app)
[11:58] <daved> ber1: now you can blame your high-school failure on open source and not your own laziness.. i think they have government grants available for people who were forced into poverty by open source.. good thing it's our fault and not your own
[11:58] <oht> my...
[11:58] <Matt101> berl this is your responsibility  not their's or anybodys
[11:59] <Matt101> dooo beee dooo beee doooo
[11:59] <MarkFeathers> ber1, Try gimp
[11:59] <ber1> daved, i think you're just warming up to tell me an excellent brochure thingermajiggy
[11:59] <ber1> markfeathers, i suppose that would work.
[12:00] <oht> god...
[12:00] <daved> ber1: or, wait, no i was mistaken.. if you fail high school your lack of basic intelligence and work ethic will be readily apparent in the lack of the easiest-to-get certificate in the history of mankind
[12:00] <Matt101> gimp is good sorry if I seemed hartless
