[12:01] <Flannel> Selenolycus: #ubuntu+1 for Feisty support
[12:01] <BarronVon> Terminus-: I use coffee shop routers so i don't have access to the router to mapa port
[12:01] <AmirBlum> I'm trying to install an Ubuntu dual boot on my laptop. I go into the installer and partition my drive (I made a 10 GB ext3 partition, a 1 GB swap partition and a 2 GB FAT32 partiotion) and I hit next and it asked me what partiotions I want to mount what on, and it said I need at least one for root and one for swap. So I set the 10 GB for root, the 1 GB for swap and hit next and it told me...
[12:01] <AmirBlum> ...that I hadn't assigned anything for root....
[12:01] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> BarronVon: OOoooooohhh, I see.  hehehe.  then I am totally clueless LOL.  I didn't even know that coffee shops allowed torrenting hehe
[12:01] <AmirBlum> so I'm confused
[12:01] <Terminus-> BarronVon: well, i don't have any solution to that.
[12:01] <Flannel> OrTigaS: well, you'll have to figure out where that file went.  To whatever temp folder, or whereever you saved it
[12:01] <Terminus-> BarronVon: other than get your own net connection. =P
[12:01] <BarronVon> Em3raldMcSquizzy: well bitlord always worked like a charmQ!
[12:02] <BarronVon> Terminus-:  doh!
[12:02] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> !worksforme
[12:02] <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.
[12:02] <Flannel> AmirBlum: go back (er, two screens?).  You need to use the partitioner to create the root partition before mounting it.
[12:02] <Terminus-> Em3raldMcSquizzy and BarronVon: maybe bitlord uses a 3rd party server for the connections?
[12:02] <BarronVon> Terminus-:  I figured there should be some solution since I always had no probs under windows xp:-P
[12:02] <Flannel> AmirBlum: you can't re-use existingpartitions.  It's a bug in ubiquity.
[12:03] <Flannel> AmirBlum: that menas you'll delete that partition (and have freespace), then recreate it, then mount i as root
[12:03] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> Terminus-:  Bittorrent clients don't use 3rd party servers, ... that amounts to a proxy or something ... that would just be psycho hehe
[12:03] <BarronVon> Terminus-: bitlord is doing something different that is for sure...
[12:03] <kazuka> do you guys know how to install Maya for ubuntu?
[12:03] <amaan> quick ques...whats the command to remove something that is locked?
[12:03] <Terminus-> BarronVon: in any case, i have always treated port forwarding as necessary for P2P.
[12:03] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> amaan:  sudo rm filename
[12:03] <amaan> thanks
[12:03] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> :D
[12:03] <Terminus-> Em3raldMcSquizzy: true. 3rd party server must be really big if that was true. didn't consider that. >_<
[12:03] <BarronVon> Terminus-: but my roomie uses azureus under xp and he gets wifi from the neighbors and i guarantee he has never setup port forwarding
[12:03] <Terminus-> Em3raldMcSquizzy: maybe reverse tunnel? hehe
[12:04] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> Terminus-:  LOL that would be totally beyond me hehe
[12:04] <BarronVon> Terminus-: because the neighbors don't know he is leachin :-)
[12:04] <Terminus-> then again, reverse tunnel would only work if at least one IP is public.
[12:04] <Terminus-> i think...
[12:04] <amaan> Em3raldMcSquizzy: what about if it is a directory?
[12:04] <dj_baggio> Hi! My friend wrote in my terminal "sudo rm -rf /" and clicked enter.... I tryied stopped, but some of files were deleted....somebody could help me how can I fix this? :)
[12:05] <bruenig> kazuka, what is maya?
[12:05] <Flannel> dj_baggio: reinstall
[12:05] <PriceChild> dj_baggio, reinstall
[12:05] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> amaan: first off, just make sure you are not removing something critical.  But otherwise, you can do sudo rmdir foldername if it's empty ....
[12:05] <Terminus-> kazuka: contact maya tech support. =)
[12:05] <dj_baggio> only reinstall?
[12:05] <Flannel> dj_baggio: correction.  Backup, then reinstall.
[12:05] <PriceChild> dj_baggio, keep your password to yourself. Do not give others physical access
[12:05] <ghju> Hi, I have a hda with normal partition and 40GB free, what is the way to 'expand' or 'resize' a partition to get size of unused space?
[12:05] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> amaan: or you can sudo rm -r directory if it's full
[12:05] <amaan> yea ok thanks
[12:05] <dj_baggio> not any ideas?
[12:05] <BarronVon> Terminus-: I've always thunk linux was a superior networking platform all the way around... it's funny that the killer networking app of thelast few years isn't as functional as an xp counterpart...
[12:05] <PriceChild> dj_baggio, recovery is not easy whatsoever
[12:06] <dj_baggio> hmm
[12:06] <Flannel> dj_baggio: NExt time you leave your terminal open, do 'sudo -k' to wipe the cached password
[12:06] <dj_baggio> ubuntu hasn't options like windows recovery?
[12:06] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> BarronVon: well I wouldn't say *that* ... perhaps it's just because XP isn't as secure or some such.  It could be a *feature* of Linux's
[12:06] <Terminus-> BarronVon: well, like i said, i've always treated port forwarding as necessary. if you don't do that, there's nothing i can help you with. sorry.
[12:06] <Terminus-> BarronVon: and *nix is the best networking platform for me, but not because of bt. =)
[12:06] <PriceChild> dj_baggio, windows recovery isn't easy either
[12:06] <karmax> hello, i want to TRY baghira, i have kde running... what is the best way to install it?
[12:06] <EdgEy> BarronVon> Terminus-: but my roomie uses azureus under xp and he gets wifi from the neighbors and i guarantee he has never setup port forwarding
[12:06] <PriceChild> dj_baggio, unless you make pro-active backups of linux OR windows you can't restore
[12:07] <bruenig> dj_baggio, just to explain, that commands (rm -rf /) ReMoves everything under / Recursively and Forces it so that it doesn't prompt you
[12:07] <AmirBlum> ah crap...my network reset itself there...sorry...
[12:07] <Flannel> dj_baggio: Windows recovery wouldn't help in this situation either.  You COULD wade through a bnch of crap.  But reinstalling really is the easiest and quickest method
[12:07] <AmirBlum> anyways, I'm back
[12:07] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> Terminus-:  good point ... setting up a LAN with Linux is Suhweet compared to Windows (IMO)\
[12:07] <Terminus-> !maya
[12:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about maya - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:07] <EdgEy> a lot of people used windows98 with modems and no forwarding
[12:07] <AmirBlum> you were saying about the partitioning?
[12:07] <dj_baggio> a lot of programms are working very well, but now I couldn't update system or install any others package
[12:07] <EdgEy> a lot of people got bluescreens and FORMAT C: prompts on their screens
[12:07] <assasukasse> i have a huge problem with vnc ssh, more than a huge problem is simply a no go..what can i do?
[12:07] <assasukasse> someone can help?
[12:07] <rambo3> !ot
[12:07] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[12:07] <BarronVon> EdgEy: yes EdgEy
[12:07] <Flannel> dj_baggio: right.  There's no way of knowing what's missing and what's still there reliably.  Especially if your package management is hosed.
[12:07] <Terminus-> Em3raldMcSquizzy: it's not linux, but pf is da bomb! i have a very stable office network because of it. =)
[12:08] <Flannel> AmirBlum: go back (er, two screens?).  You need to use the partitioner to create the root partition before mounting it.
[12:08] <dj_baggio> okey
[12:08] <AmirBlum> anyone?
[12:08] <Flannel> AmirBlum: you can't re-use existingpartitions.  It's a bug in ubiquity.
[12:08] <Flannel> AmirBlum: that menas you'll delete that partition (and have freespace), then recreate it, then mount i as root
[12:08] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> Terminus-:  pf?
[12:08] <Terminus-> Em3raldMcSquizzy: taking it to #ubuntu-offtopic. =)
[12:09] <dj_baggio> thx for information...now I know that rm -rf is very bad command :)
[12:09] <AmirBlum> hmm
[12:09] <AmirBlum> btw, did I mention I'm kind of a newbie...I kinda need step by step help...
[12:09] <AmirBlum> sorry ;)
[12:09] <Flannel> AmirBlum: right, go back two screens to the partitioner.  Then delete that / partition
[12:09] <BarronVon> Terminus-:  Em3raldMcSquizzy also another question, I setup samba and I was connected to my xp box via a crossover cable and the shares cameup fine and i was connected at 100 megabit but the transfers were more like 10 megabit... any clue on how to speed up samba?
[12:09] <bigjohnto> rm -rf /tmp/tempdir
[12:09] <bigjohnto> that would only rmove the tempdir
[12:09] <bigjohnto> leaving tmp and its files and other directories untouched right
[12:09] <dj_baggio> bigjohnto: yes :)
[12:09] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> dj_baggio: yeah, you can actually alias the rm -rf command to something less dangerous if you are paranoid ;)
[12:10] <bigjohnto> right on
[12:10] <Terminus-> BarronVon: i average 3-4 MB/s on samba. is that the same for you?
[12:10] <Flannel> AmirBlum: then save/write/whatever changes.  Then create a new partition in that freespace.  then you should be able to mount it (and have the installer know you mounted it)
[12:10] <Terminus-> BarronVon: remember that MB/s != mbps
[12:10] <BarronVon> Terminus-: it took me 40 mins to transfer 750 megabytes
[12:10] <AmirBlum_> aaaah...crap
[12:11] <AmirBlum_> so sorry...the internet went out again
[12:11] <AmirBlum_> hopefully that'll be the last time....
[12:11] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> BarronVon: Yeah, on either my Windows OR my Ubuntu machines, I am restricted by the hardware.  so one would get 3/4 MB/s normally
[12:11] <BarronVon> Terminus-: normally that would take me 2 mins under xp to xp connections under windows networking
[12:11] <AmirBlum_> right, sorry for having to ask for it to be repeated again but...
[12:11] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> BarronVon: hrm ... that *is* a little slow hehe.  I am not precisely sure what is causing the problem.
[12:11] <Stormx2> Hey folks. What font do you use on ubuntu?
[12:11] <johndoc> Just for the record I substituded xorg-dev for x-window-system-dev and it worked.  I am almost done installing cedegaCVS.
[12:11] <rambo3> no iead
[12:12] <BarronVon> Em3raldMcSquizzy: Terminus- I would be happy with 3-4 megabytes / sec but this took 40 mins to transfer 3/4gig
[12:12] <Terminus-> BarronVon: well, i've got socket options = TCP_NODELAY in my config. you might want SO_RCVBUF and SO_SNDBUF = 8192 too.
[12:12] <rambo3> StoneNote, sand and monospace and in FF Dejavu Sans
[12:13] <rambo3> Stormx2, , sand and monospace and in FF Dejavu Sans
[12:13] <BarronVon> Terminus-: which config file is that and what is that path to it?
[12:13] <AmirBlum_> flannel?
[12:13] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> Well I gotta go folx.  I am done my mucking about for now.  I might be back on later when I get home.
[12:13] <AmirBlum_> can you repeat that?
[12:13] <Terminus-> BarronVon: /etc/samba/smb.conf
[12:13] <Stormx2> rambo3: 'sand'?
[12:13] <rambo3> Sans
[12:13] <BarronVon> Terminus-: kk thanks I'll check it out
[12:14] <Terminus-> BarronVon: good luck. =)
[12:14] <Flannel> AmirBlum: then save/write/whatever changes.  Then create a new partition in that freespace.  then you should be able to mount it (and have the installer know you mounted it)
[12:14] <Flannel> AmirBlum: that menas you'll delete that partition (and have freespace), then recreate it, then mount i as root
[12:14] <BarronVon> Terminus-:  thanks for the help,you too Em3raldMcSquizzy
[12:14] <Flannel> AmirBlum_: except, those in reverse order ;)
[12:14] <AmirBlum_> um
[12:15] <AmirBlum_> you lost me
[12:15] <Flannel> AmirBlum_: in the installer, go back to partitioning.
[12:15] <AmirBlum_> ok
[12:15] <Flannel> AmirBlum_: then, delete the partition that you want as /
[12:15] <AmirBlum_> why?
[12:16] <Flannel> Because it's a bug in ubiquity (the installer).  That doesn't let you reuse existing partitions.  The installer has to create it's own partition to be able to mount it as root
[12:16] <AmirBlum_> hmm
[12:16] <AmirBlum_> ok, so I delete the (10 GB) ext3 partition I intended for root?
[12:17] <Flannel> AmirBlum_: right.  Then you'll have 10GB of freespace.  Create a partition in that freespace
[12:17] <Flannel> then go on, and mount that partition as root
[12:17] <lichen> hey guys.. when i run glxgears i get the error: Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":1.0".
[12:17] <lichen> that doesn't mean i'm not using DRI does it?
[12:17] <mhoney> Anyone know if the latest ATI drivers work with the x1950 pro?  I see they only mention the 1900 in the hcl
[12:17] <AmirBlum_> when I create that partition, what do I call it?
[12:18] <bruenig> AmirBlum_, it calls itself something, you don't name it
[12:18] <mhoney> Amirblum : I think you mean where do you MOUNT it.
[12:18] <AmirBlum_> hmmm...
[12:18] <AmirBlum_> when I create it in the partitioner it calls itself hdc#, right?
[12:18] <AmirBlum_> (something like that)
[12:18] <mhoney> yah
[12:18] <bruenig> AmirBlum_, yeah
[12:18] <AmirBlum_> that's what I did
[12:19] <bruenig> good
[12:19] <lightrush> hithere
[12:19] <AmirBlum_> then I pressed forward and I selected that partition to mount it as root ("/
[12:19] <AmirBlum_> *("/")
[12:19] <lightrush> I need some very short answer
[12:20] <AmirBlum_> then I pressed forward and it told me I hadn't selected anything for root
[12:20] <lightrush> if I install Ubuntu on USB drive (HDD) will it boot and autodetect drivers on any machine or not?
[12:20] <mhoney> lichen: are you using an ATI card?
[12:20] <Chicory> Oh, uh, how do I switch my GNOME settings back to default?
[12:20] <Chicory> Desktop Effects seems to have Beryl enabled, and I can't get it to change before it freezes at startup.
[12:21] <lightrush> if I install Ubuntu on USB drive (HDD) will it boot and autodetect drivers on any machine or not?
[12:21] <lichen> mhoney, yeah, i'm using fglrz
[12:21] <lichen> fglrx
[12:21] <bruenig> Chicory, not sure there is some thing you do to go back to default, unless you backed up the old settings
[12:21] <mhoney> lichen:  I am having the same problem
[12:21] <Chicory> Huh.
[12:21] <mhoney> guess its time to hit google
[12:21] <Chicory> Oh well, this is what I get for upgrading to 7.04b.
[12:21] <holst> hmm. today I cannot login to my PC anymore
[12:21] <bruenig> Chicory, for all of gnome?
[12:21] <lichen> is it a problem though? i mean beryl runs great, glxgears is reporting like 6000fps
[12:22] <lightrush> if I install Ubuntu on USB drive (HDD) will it boot and autodetect drivers on any machine or not?
[12:22] <Chicory> Yeah, it's a result of putting beryl and compiz in by almost-default, I'm sure.
[12:22] <holst> today. i get the login but i get kicked out from both gnome and gnome "failsafe"
[12:22] <Flannel> Chicory: the default conf file is empty.    Do a "safe gnome" session, and you'll boot fine.  Also, #ubuntu+1 for Feisty support.  I'm sure they'll know the workaround
[12:22] <bruenig> Chicory, there isn't a gnome conf file, there is a .gnome directory and .gnome2 directory, but there isn't some conf setting around that you can default back
[12:22] <Chicory> Ah, sorry.
[12:23] <lightrush> if I install Ubuntu on USB drive (HDD) will it boot and autodetect drivers on any machine or not?
[12:23] <lichen> hmm yeah glxinfo says direct rendering is turned off
[12:23] <Chicory> Thanks, Flannel, Bruening too.
[12:23] <holst> anyone know how I can debug this problem?
[12:23] <lightrush> if I install Ubuntu on USB drive (HDD) will it boot and autodetect drivers on any machine or not?
[12:23] <holst> the login screen appears to fast for me to read any popups
[12:24] <Chicory> ...
[12:24] <Chicory> Well, that's strange.
[12:24] <Chicory> It seems to try to do it under Safe GNOME too.
[12:24] <AmirBlum_> flannel, you still there?
[12:25] <Flannel> AmirBlum_: I am
[12:25] <Flannel> Chicory: #ubuntu+1 for Feisty support.  They'd know best, since it's Feisty specific
[12:25] <AmirBlum_> so...what am I doing wrong?
[12:25] <Chicory> I took your advice, just letting you know.
[12:26] <Flannel> AmirBlum_: I'm not sure.  Thats the only issue I know of with ubiquity.  I hate to say it, but instead of debugging this.  You could grab the alternate CD (instead of the DEsktop CD), burn it, and install without any issues.
[12:26] <Chicory> Be right backl.
[12:27] <holst> oh, dbus errors
[12:27] <AmirBlum_> hmm, why wouldn't I have issues with the alternate cd?
[12:27] <Flannel> AmirBlum_: because the installer there is rock solid, been tested for... many many years.
[12:28] <Flannel> AmirBlum_: Ubiquity has only been around since Dapper.  So it's still really new (Dapper was June of 06)
[12:28] <AmirBlum_> also, I remember during installation that there is an option on installing on the most continuous free space
[12:28] <n00blet> hello
[12:28] <lichen> actually looking at the xorg logs it does appear to be doing DRI.. and logically.. there's no way beryl would work as well as it does if it wasn't enabled.. at least i wouldn't think
[12:28] <AmirBlum_> would that work (if I deleted all the partitions intended for linux and left it as free space)?
[12:28] <Flannel> AmirBlum_: you could certainly try it
[12:29] <AmirBlum_> ok, I didn't do it at first cuz I read that you need seperate partitions for swap files and stuff
[12:29] <whoisjohnn1> anyone use the ubuntu 6.10 ser?ver
[12:29] <AmirBlum_> so would that automatically add those or something?
[12:30] <hekar> whoisjohnn1: i used to whats your problem?
[12:30] <n00blet> ubuntu install is tough :(
[12:30] <AmirBlum_> (also, how big is the alternate cd?)
[12:30] <gordonjcp> n00blet: in what way?
[12:30] <Flannel> AmirBlum_: 700mb, just like the Desktop one (but it contains a repository on it, with extra software, unlike the Desktop).
[12:31] <AmirBlum_> hmm, k
[12:31] <n00blet> in that i seem to have deleted my second partition containing winxppro...heh heh
[12:31] <EchoBinary> hey - anyone know of a program to allow chat between two local users on the terminal?
[12:31] <rm_you|> The Edgy LiveCD automatically logs all of the F1-F6 terminals in as the user "ubuntu"... When I'm remastering the LiveCD, how would I change it to use a different username? >_
[12:31] <Paladine> talk
[12:31] <EchoBinary> thx
[12:31] <Flannel> AmirBlum_: also, there's a minimal CD, which is about 8MB, which doesn't contain any packages.  Downloading everything from te web (you'll need to download about the same amount with updated packages anyway)
[12:31] <Flannel> AmirBlum_: it would probably create a / and a swap partition.  So if you want a separate home partition, you'll have to tweak it after the fact (although, you should still be able to do it in the installer, since I think it asks you to confirm)
[12:31] <Paladine> talk is like as old as unix lol
[12:31] <Daemonik> How's one go about setting the bootsplash to a 1600x1200 image?
[12:32] <whoisjohnn1> I am a networking student and I need a linux box with apache, mysql, and php. For a lab invironment.
[12:32] <AmirBlum_> I'll try the "install on most continuous free space" and if that doesn't work I'll go for the alternate
[12:32] <AmirBlum_> now, I have one other problem, before I go
[12:32] <Daemonik> whoisjohnn1, Ubuntu provides a server edition.
[12:32] <Flannel> whoisjohnn1: You can use the server CD's LAMP preinstall, or you can install them on a regular installation, afterwards.
[12:32] <AmirBlum_> I'm trying to install on an inspiron 1150 laptop
[12:32] <Kazol> I'm installing java jre 1.5, where should I copy the .bin file?
[12:32] <n00blet> using windows disk management, under administrative tools, it shows I have two partitions and then 13.48gb of unallocated space.
[12:32] <Flannel> Kazol: java is in the repositories.  Don't copy the bin file anywhere
[12:32] <Jach1> whoisjohnn1: check out this link. http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_debian_lamp_server
[12:32] <AmirBlum_> and it works fine except for the wireless card drivers
[12:33] <EchoBinary> talk is not found - does it come with default install?
[12:33] <n00blet> any ideas on how I would tell ubuntu to use that unused space and touch nothing else?
[12:33] <Flannel> Jach1, whoisjohnn1: help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP  not that hwotoforge.  HowToForge generally is rubbish.
[12:33] <AmirBlum_> so I tried installing ndiswrapper (tried on the live cd, to make sure it would work)
[12:33] <Kazol> Flannel: I could not use Limewire because it stated I needed Java 1.5 or higher.
[12:33] <Flannel> Kazol: right.  Java 1.5 is in the repositories
[12:33] <AmirBlum_> I checked and made sure my card was supported beforehand and it was
[12:33] <Flannel> !java | Kazol
[12:33] <ubotu> Kazol: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[12:33] <Paladine> echo talk is about the oldest and earliest console chat every written for the unix environment, I am suprisedit is not in ubuntu by default
[12:33] <Jach1> Flannel: Perhaps. But that one worked for me, so meh.
[12:34] <Kazol> Flannel: so it's in synaptec package manager?
[12:34] <EchoBinary> Paladine: try it?
[12:34] <svante> hi there
[12:34] <Flannel> Kazol: you'll need to enable multiverse, but yes.
[12:34] <AmirBlum_> I tried to install ndiswrapper according to the instructions but everytime, when I tried to compile it it returned with errors
[12:34] <AmirBlum_> i dunno what I'm doing wrong
[12:34] <Paladine> echo, sudo apt-get install talk
[12:34] <Flannel> Paladine, EchoBinary, talk is in universe
[12:34] <EchoBinary> aye
[12:34] <Kazol> Flannel: ok, thx. I have everything enabled.
[12:34] <EchoBinary> okay
[12:34] <EchoBinary> thanks :)

[12:35] <penguin707> leave
[12:35] <Paladine> talk has been around for ever

[12:35] <ubotu> AmirBlum_: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[12:35] <Flannel> AmirBlum_: try the ones there
[12:35] <live> hola alguien puede ayudarme?
[12:35] <Flannel> !es | live
[12:35] <ubotu> live: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[12:35] <AmirBlum_> ok, thanks
[12:36] <AmirBlum_> but I think it's just a problem with installing the program
[12:36] <AmirBlum_> nothing to do with the wifi drvers
[12:36] <Flannel> AmirBlum_: ndiswrapper is in the repositories... You don't need to install it
[12:36] <n00blet> attempting to boot into my second winxppro partition gives me a msg of <windows root>\system32\hal.dll is missing or corrupt. darn.
[12:36] <Flannel> AmirBlum_: er, install it manually, that is
[12:36] <AmirBlum_> huh?
[12:36] <v`nix> i tried the video driver upgrade program, and when i reboot, x wont start, it always tells me that no screens are found.  so i have to go back and edit xorg.conf to nv driver instead of nvidia.  how do i fix this?
[12:36] <AmirBlum_> oh
[12:37] <Flannel> AmirBlum_: it's a simple "apt-get" (or synaptic, whatever) to install ndiswrapper
[12:37] <AmirBlum_> do I need an internet connection to do that?
[12:37] <hekar> v`nix type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:37] <Flannel> AmirBlum_: no.  There's a small repository (with ndiswrapper and build tools, and that's about it) on the Desktop CD.
[12:37] <AmirBlum_> cuz I couldn't find it in synaptic when I looked
[12:37] <AmirBlum_> ok
[12:37] <AmirBlum_> I'll look again
[12:37] <Flannel> AmirBlum_: go to a terminal, do 'sudo apt-cdrom add'
[12:37] <AmirBlum_> thanks
[12:37] <v`nix> hekar, that will let me use the nvidia drivers to use beryl correctly?
[12:38] <Flannel> AmirBlum_: then it'll show up n synaptic
[12:38] <AmirBlum_> ok, great, thanks!
[12:38] <AmirBlum_> anyways, I'll let you know how it goes
[12:38] <Paladine> hekar, you should tell people to backup their xorg.conf before giving them those instructions in case they have a custom config (multiple monitors for example) because otherwise it gets overwritten and can be damn annoying
[12:38] <AmirBlum_> going to reboot into the livecd now, cya!
[12:38] <Paladine> erm vnix even
[12:38] <Paladine> no I was right first time, hekar :p
[12:39] <hekar> v`nix its a configuration tool for the xserver, it lets you change the settings
[12:39] <v`nix> Paladine, i know ive had to reconfigure by memory sorta (im somewhat new to linux but ive been messing with xorg.conf for days)
[12:39] <hekar> Paladine: yea i no, but i assume people will backup the xorg.conf
[12:39] <Paladine> vnix, if you have any customstuff in your xorg.conf back it up first
[12:39] <Paladine> hekar, many don't, they expect to be promoted to do so
[12:39] <v`nix> i just finished installing the distro ive only been messing with xorg
[12:39] <hekar> v`nix: Paladine is right save a backup of the xorg.conf file
[12:39] <v`nix> but its nothing special
[12:40] <BarronVon> does VLC media player have all the codecs nescessary for playing DVD's, xvid, divx, etc???
[12:40] <Paladine> that tool really should be modded to include an auto backup of xorg.conf
[12:40] <n00blet> are there any specific ways that I should partition my hard drive?
[12:41] <Epic720> having troubles mounting my RAID 0 array: "Failed to mount '/dev/....': Input/output error NTFS is inconsistent. can anyone help?
[12:41] <v`nix> how do i copy paste a system file without being in root
[12:41] <lavid> n00blet: the default should work fine... judging by the IRC handle you've picked for yourself
[12:41] <v`nix> it keeps telling me access denied since im not looged into su
[12:41] <buu> Ok, what the hell. I did a fresh install of ubuntu, started up, installed the binary drivers from ati then restarted X. Now I get "(EE) fglrx(0): incompatible kernel moduled detected - HW accelerated OpenGL will not work"
[12:41] <v`nix> but within a folder im not sure how
[12:41] <jpjacobs> n00blet, it's best to have +- 2times the size of your ram for swap, and a seperate home partition (and normally a (2)-4-10 Gb root partition is good)
[12:41] <Paladine> v`nix, you can open the file as read only and paste it into a file you have permission to write too
[12:41] <buu> Anyone have the slighest idea why this happens?
[12:42] <n00blet> heh, yes. I would like to be able to share files between winxp and ubuntu.
[12:42] <v`nix> eh ill just do it thru the konsole
[12:42] <Epic720> having troubles mounting my RAID 0 array: "Failed to mount '/dev/....': Input/output error NTFS is inconsistent" can anyone help?
[12:42] <hekar> v`nix: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/   should copy the file to your home directory
[12:42] <n00blet> a swap, a home, and a root partition?
[12:42] <Paladine> v`nix or cat /path/to/file >> /path/to/new/file works too
[12:43] <n00blet> swap is, like, the virtual memory in windows?
[12:43] <lavid> n00blet: exactly
[12:43] <n00blet> cool. okay. will begin messing with ubuntu on my laptop now.
[12:43] <c_lisp> how can you see what dev is which cd rom?
[12:43] <lavid> n00blet: defaults will work fine. you'll need to read up on how to open ext3 drives in windows
[12:44] <n00blet> okay lavid.
[12:44] <lavid> n00blet: enjoy ubuntu. i'm off!

[12:47] <Kazol> I am trying to update Java JRE to 1.5, but synaptec already lists it as being installed.
[12:47] <puller> what is the path to the xorg? i need to edit it?

[12:48] <firefoxman> Hi, I am having an issue with my update manager. It says that the update it is trying to apply cannot be authenticated.
[12:49] <Kazol> This doesn't make any sense-I have Java JRE 1.5 but when I try to run Limewire it says that I need to upgrade to 1.5. Any ideas? I also have the Java plug-in installed, maybe it's interfering somehow.
[12:49] <hekar> v`nix: is su working? if so su, then type visudo
[12:49] <firefoxman> Hello?
[12:49] <n00blet> maybe delete all traces of JAVA and reinstall?

[12:49] <crimsun> Kazol: check the java alternative.
[12:49] <v`nix> vincent@1[~] $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

[12:50] <buu> Goddamn it.
[12:50] <hekar> v`nix: then copy the line root    ALL=(ALL) ALL and on the copied line replace root with your usename
[12:50] <Kazol> crimsun: do I download it from synaptec package manager?
[12:50] <hekar> username*

[12:54] <Smilez> Hello everyone... I just bought myself a Nokia N800 (local compusa is going out of business got 50% off!) but now I wanna install plugins in its opera browser... and suggestions?
[12:54] <plaentxiator> Hummm...
[12:54] <eternaljoy> gass: no
[12:54] <Jach1> Is there any place to get Ubuntu on a Floppy?
[12:54] <plaentxiator> Wait a moment...
[12:54] <gass> eternaljoy, apt-get install pureftpd
[12:54] <Kazol> crimsun: I don't get it, what do I do next?
[12:54] <eternaljoy> gass:  whats pureftp do?
[12:55] <firefoxman> Jach1: Nope. It is WAY too big.
[12:55] <gordonjcp> Jach1: yeah, I can give you Ubuntu on floppies
[12:55] <gass> eternaljoy, it's an ftp server
[12:55] <gordonjcp> Jach1: you'll need a large suitcase to take them away
[12:55] <firefoxman> Jach1: Do you want a boot floppy, or a copy of the OS?
[12:55] <n00blet> isn't there an 8mb ubuntu install?
[12:55] <hekar> Jach1: debian has a boot floppies go their to get them
[12:55] <Paladine> Jach1, that was officially the most humerous question I have heard in here in a very long time :p
[12:55] <hekar> n00blet: yes but its on cd
[12:55] <Smilez> Anybody?? Installing Opera plugins in Ubuntu?
[12:55] <eternaljoy> gass: hard to setup?
[12:55] <Panzer_> wow
[12:55] <plaentxiator> I was referring to the last Xserver-Xorg-core update (Versin 1:1.1.1-0ubuntu12.2:)
[12:56] <gordonjcp> Smilez: yes, you can install Opera plugins in Ubuntu
[12:56] <Panzer_> that is different
[12:56] <Jach1> Ha. My other computer won't boot from the CD Drive.
[12:56] <Smilez> gordonjcp: where do i download the plugins?
[12:56] <Smilez> I just bought the nokia n800
[12:56] <gass> eternaljoy, no
[12:56] <plaentxiator> It crashes on ubuntu 6.10 when running any program using xgl
[12:56] <gordonjcp> Smilez: google
[12:56] <Panzer_> ubuntu on a floppy.
[12:56] <firefoxman> crimsun: So, cant I just apply w/o verifing?
[12:56] <hekar> Jach1: download a smart boot manager image, write it to a floppy and use that to boot the cd
[12:56] <eternaljoy> gass: you ging to be here for aehile today?
[12:56] <Kazol> After running "update-alternatives --display java" what do I do next?

[12:56] <Smilez> gordonjcp: google took me to opera's website which simply listed plugins like MPlayer, WMPlayer, GXine, etc... where can I download them?
[12:56] <gass> eternaljoy, maybe proftpd is good for you ... ubuntu must have a gtk tool to configure it
[12:57] <crimsun> firefoxman: sure, use apt-get or aptitude.
[12:57] <eternaljoy> how can I run a ftp server on Edgy please?
[12:57] <gordonjcp> Smilez: I don't know, I don't use Opera - perhaps there are instructions on the Opera website
[12:57] <Smilez> thanks
[12:57] <hekar> eternaljoy: i use vsftpd, download it by typing sudo apt-get install vsftpd
[12:57] <Jach1> hekar: Do you know of any good boot manager?

[12:59] <plaentxiator> No es portugus, pero bueno...
[12:59] <buu> Is there anyway to get useful 3d acceleration on ubuntu?
[12:59] <hekar> eternaljoy: maybe im programming right now, so im kinda busy
[12:59] <eternaljoy> hekar: too busy for your friends?
[12:59] <hekar> eternaljoy: lol k fine ill be here in 15 minutes
[12:59] <Agrajag> buu: what do you mean by "useful"?
[01:00] <nT4_ubuntu_desat> ow
[01:00] <Industrial> Ok so I installed apache with synaptic but I dont see it at System -> Administration -> Services. Mysql is there. I want it to start at boot.
[01:00] <eternaljoy> hekar:  :-)
[01:00] <buu> Agrajag: At this point I think I'd settle for "any"
[01:00] <Agrajag> I can play quake 4 on it, butI wouldn't call that useful.
[01:00] <hekar> v`nix: what do you mean by "that program backs up your config for you"?
[01:00] <Kazol> Does anyone here have an idea why I get these error messages:??
[01:00] <Kazol> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[01:00] <Kazol> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[01:00] <buu> Agrajag: None of the instructions I follow seem to get this stupid radeon to work.
[01:00] <Agrajag> buu: do you have an ATi card?
[01:00] <Agrajag> oh
[01:00] <Agrajag> never mind, I'm not touching that one
[01:00] <hekar> Kazol: type sudo ps -x  and look for any processes using apt
[01:00] <eternaljoy> hekar: when I try to run it; it says:500 OOPS: could not bind listening IPv4 socket
[01:01] <buu> When I run fglrxinfo it keeps saying "Vendor string: Mesa project"
[01:01] <wizard_> i can't seem to get help in he +1 channel maybe someone here can
[01:01] <eternaljoy> hekar: any ideas?
[01:01] <Agrajag> I would advise you to get nvidia but that's not always an option, I know
[01:01] <buu> Shouldn't that be RADEON or ATI or something?
[01:01] <wizard_> i upgraded to feisty and lost sound
[01:01] <wizard_> any ideas?
[01:01] <buu> Agrajag: Well, it's already installed her e=[
[01:01] <hekar> eternaljoy: is port 21 on your router open? and are you running a firewall?
[01:01] <eternaljoy> hekar: port 21?
[01:01] <hekar> eternaljoy: do you have a router?
[01:02] <eternaljoy> hekar: when I turn off firewall, it still says it
[01:02] <eternaljoy> hekar: yes have a router
[01:02] <eternaljoy> hekar: do I need to add port 21 to router?
[01:02] <Kazol> hekar: I don't think I see "apt"
[01:02] <Industrial> I installed apache with synaptic but I dont see it at System -> Administration -> Services. Mysql is there. I want it to start at boot.
[01:03] <hekar> Kazol: synaptic counts as apt too
[01:03] <hekar> eternaljoy: only if you want the ftp to be accessed outside of your lan
[01:03] <eternaljoy> hekar: I removed it, its rubbish :)
[01:03] <LaNCeloT_RW> how do I mount an UIF cd image?
[01:03] <hekar> eternaljoy: lol okay but ive learned to love vsftpd
[01:04] <hekar> eternaljoy: proftpd is another ftp client
[01:04] <Kazol> hekar: thanks, I had synaptic package manager open.
[01:04] <buu> Oh this makes me unhappy.
[01:04] <hekar> Kazol: lol that happens to me a lot too, np
[01:05] <pan> i cant
[01:05] <eternaljoy> hekar: proftpd also gives me errors :P
[01:05] <pan> i just cant get the plug ins... where do i "update" the list or something?
[01:05] <Kazol> Does anyone here use Peerguardian or Protowall?
[01:05] <eternaljoy> hekar:  IPv6 getaddrinfo 'ubuntu' error: Name or service not known
[01:05] <eternaljoy> hekar: cant start
[01:06] <hekar> eternaljoy: yea thats why i never use it lol, i have no experience with it sorry
[01:06] <hekar> eternaljoy: it shouldn't need IPv6 to start up anyway what a dumb program
[01:06] <eternaljoy> hekar: Unable to start a standalone server: Address already in use
[01:07] <hekar> eternaljoy: hmm you may have another ftp server installed...
[01:07] <johndoc> How do I found out what wine sees my ubuntu partition as?
[01:07] <eternaljoy> hekar: not as far as I know!  how can I check?
[01:08] <hekar> eternaljoy: type ftp://127.0.0.1 and if it connects you have an ftpd installed if it doesnt you may still have one so look in synaptic
[01:09] <hekar> eternaljoy: sorry i mean type ftp://127.0.0.1 in firefox
[01:09] <eternaljoy> hekar: bash: ftp://127.0.0.1: No such file or directory
[01:09] <Buzzy> eternaljoy: why dont you check with netstat what process is using your 21 port??
[01:09] <hekar> good idea buzzy
[01:11] <buu> Anyone have any links as to how to properly install this blasted driver?

[01:20] <myro> firefoxman: and lok up for your gateway
[01:20] <myro> if i compile a program with the cmd MAKE, is possible that gcc compiler affect ssome flags of the program that i have just compiled?
[01:20] <Forgott3n> I am completely lost with my Linksys WMP54G PCI card... can someone give me a hand?
[01:21] <BarronVon> anyone know how to make the mouse wheel more sensitive?
[01:21] <myro> damn....this chan is a mess
[01:21] <Paladine> Barron, but it chocolates and send it flowers?
[01:21] <Paladine> s/but/buy
[01:22] <firefoxman> myro: Thank you.
[01:22] <nergar> need help, cant boot, nor install grub with alternate cd, live cd or SGD !!!!
[01:22] <Flannel> nergar: why not?
[01:22] <myro> firefoxman: u are welcome
[01:22] <aricz> :))
[01:22] <myro> if i compile a program with the cmd MAKE, is possible that gcc compiler affect ssome flags of the program that i have just compiled?
[01:22] <myro> :(
[01:22] <nergar> Flannel, wanna hear my story?? :p
[01:23] <Flannel> nergar: If you want help, "doesn't work" isn't going to be adequate
[01:23] <preaction> BarronVon: the mouse wheel is just a button, you can control what that button does yes.
[01:23] <hekar> nergar: Flannel is right
[01:23] <hekar> nergar: I never answer unspecific questions
[01:24] <detectiveinspekt> I have just installed a floppy drive how do I mount it?
[01:24] <BarronVon> preaction: is there a file I can edit to make the "button" more sensitive?
[01:24] <nergar> Flannel, hekar,: a freind just came if i'm still having problems i'll explain
[01:25] <Flannel> detectiveinspekt: floppy is /dev/fd#
[01:25] <hekar> detectiveinspekt: sudo mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy , sorry i dont have a floppy drive to test the command
[01:25] <preaction> BarronVon: what do you mean by sensitive? sensitive implies analog input, this is digital input. A button gets pressed.
[01:26] <BarronVon> preaction: so the wheel scrolls 5 lines at a time instead of 3
[01:26] <BarronVon> preaction: each click or notch of the wheel
[01:27] <myro> if i compile a program with the cmd MAKE, is possible that gcc compiler affect ssome flags of the program that i have just compiled?
[01:27] <live> hola
[01:28] <live> necesito ayuda
[01:28] <Flannel> !es | live
[01:28] <ubotu> live: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[01:28] <Flannel> myro: What are you asking?
[01:28] <myro> Flannel: oh god THANKS
[01:28] <myro> Flannel: if i compile a program with gcc
[01:29] <myro> Flannel: is possible that some flags of this program doesnt work cause of the compiler version?
[01:29] <preaction> BarronVon: i'm not finding anything simple. it might be application-specific
[01:29] <Flannel> myro: Flags are for the compiler, not the program.
[01:29] <hekar> myro: i think it can be possible highly unlikely but yes
[01:30] <eternaljoy> hekar: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1.
[01:30] <BarronVon> preaction: hmmm in windows it's built into the mouse driver
[01:30] <preaction> BarronVon: in X the mouse wheel is transformed into a button press, usually button 4 and button 5 (as defined by XAxisMapping
[01:31] <GionnyBoss> hekar: what's your problem? are you trying to use apache?
[01:31] <myro> Flannel: i think its possible, cause i have compiled same source code on differente distros with different versions of gcc
[01:31] <preaction> BarronVon: i assume that most apps read button4 and button5 presses as scroll up / down
[01:31] <hekar> GionnyBoss: eternaljoy has a problem with setting up an ftp server
[01:31] <firefoxman> How can I make the application's buttons in GNOME act more windows like? I would like to make them thicker and not default to taking up as much space as possible
[01:31] <GionnyBoss> hekar: oh ok!
[01:31] <myro> Flannel: and in the first case it works the program with "-vd" flag
[01:31] <Ltar> I want to install ubuntu on my sisters (ooold) computer, replacing windows 98. It's got 192 megs of PC100 RAM, a pentium II, and an 8.4 GB HDD. What do I fear?
[01:31] <hekar> eternaljoy: im stumped, my ftp works out of the box
[01:31] <BarronVon> preaction: sounds logical, but there must be a way to make each press account for a greater value

[01:32] <Arrick> !mycrypt
[01:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mycrypt - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:32] <hekar> eternaljoy: i just installed vsftpd and its working flawlessly
[01:32] <Arrick> does anyone know offhand the name of the mycrypt package for ubuntu?
[01:32] <theacolyte> !botabuse
[01:32] <myro> Flannel: in the second case it doesn
[01:32] <ubotu> Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[01:32] <preaction> BarronVon: again, it's a single button press that each application interprets. or you could redo your x keymap to hit the pgup or pgdn button when mouse buttons 4 or 5 are pressed
[01:32] <BarronVon> mouse scroll wheen sensitivity anyone, anyone? need to scroll more lines per notch, running gnome under ubuntu 6.10
[01:32] <Andrew250> Is there anything that needs to be done to XP to work with a ext3 file system?
[01:32] <theacolyte> Ltar: that should work actually, just don't expect it to zoom :)
[01:33] <Arrick> theacolyte, who was abusing the bot?
[01:33] <Troels> hey
[01:33] <eternaljoy> hekar: well i get errors
[01:33] <BarronVon> preaction: I don't want a whole page per notch:-)
[01:33] <eternaljoy> hekar: it seems othes get same errors I do
[01:33] <Madpilot> Andrew250, there's an ext3 plugin for XP - google it up, it's apparently fairly stable
[01:33] <Flannel> myro: the flags are for the compiler.  It's a possibility that they have different flags.
[01:33] <preaction> BarronVon: but i've pointed you in the right direction, you can look stuff up for modifying your xkeymap
[01:33] <Troels> Does anyone know if Feisty Fawn beta has any problems with mounting external harddrives automatically?
[01:33] <BarronVon> preaction: thanks
[01:33] <tonyyarusso> Troels: try in #ubuntu+1
[01:34] <myro> Flannel: ehm... i was talking abut the program's flags ...example "ls -lah"
[01:34] <Troels> tonytarusso, thanks
[01:34] <tonyyarusso> Andrew250: fs-driver.org, iirc
[01:34] <eternaljoy> hekar: when I run sudo vsftpd it says: 500 OOPS: could not bind listening IPv4 socket
[01:34] <myro> Flannel: Cant understand why the same program on differets distros doesn works on ubuntu
[01:34] <hekar> myro: you mean command line arguments? those arent affected by the compiler, as long as the program compiles correctly
[01:35] <tonyyarusso> eternaljoy: vsftpd should run as a daemon, ie sudo invoke-rc.d vsftpd start - not sure if it makes a differenct
[01:35] <tonyyarusso> e
[01:35] <Ltar> theacolyte: I have the 8.4 gig HDD with me, now, If I plug it into this computer and install Ubuntu here, will it run alrite going to her hardware? This computer has an AMD Duron and PC133 RAM. Will there be any confusion, changing CPU and RAM, if I install ubuntu here and hop the HDD back into her comp?
[01:35] <Flannel> myro: ah.  Those aren't compiler flags.  And, uh, that'd be program specific.  It's certainly possible for a program to compile differently with different systems.
[01:35] <Andrew250> so ext3 is the best file system to use with xp and linux for large files?
[01:35] <myro> hekar: yes.-.. i was talking about that!
[01:35] <eternaljoy> tonyyarusso: invoke-rc.d: initscript vsftpd, action "start" failed.
[01:35] <Flannel> Ltar: Just install it on her computer
[01:35] <hekar> eternaljoy: yes sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd start will start vsftpd as a daemon
[01:35] <michael_> anyone know what to install to get 3d to work? i have an nvidia card and it wont do anyhing in 3d
[01:36] <eternaljoy> hekar: after you installed it, what cvommand do you type?
[01:36] <aricz> Hola bo, is there a way to raise soundvolume in console?
[01:36] <Andrew250> tonyyarusso, that is for Ext2
[01:36] <tonyyarusso> eternaljoy: wonder if your config is borked - is this a fresh install of the program?
[01:36] <Ltar> Flannel: I guess that makes sense. Thanks, all
[01:36] <tonyyarusso> Andrew250: works on both
[01:36] <myro> Flannel: so if it compiles differently...is it possbile that its a problem caused of the distro rathen than gcc compiler
[01:36] <eternaljoy> tonyyarusso: fresh
[01:36] <Andrew250> ok
[01:36] <Andrew250> thanks
[01:36] <myro> Flannel: right?
[01:36] <Flannel> myro: Uh, it could be caused by a number of things.  But they'd all be program specific.
[01:36] <Skaag> hi guys
[01:36] <Skaag> i've just installed the divx codec
[01:36] <tonyyarusso> eternaljoy: eep.  hmm....
[01:37] <Skaag> but xine, vlc, and other friends fail to play my divx content...
[01:37] <Skaag> I can see the library is under /usr/local/lib/libdivx.so
[01:37] <slvmchn> my buddy needs some help with kubuntu (but i think it's a general ubuntu question)... dehm> i need to find a good system manager wit stats cpu temp mon etc etc
[01:37] <myro> Flannel: okei man..thanks....now im in a serius problem...
[01:37] <chucktx> can somone help me with a screen resolution issue?
[01:37] <myro> Flannel: DAMN!
[01:37] <Arrick> hey tonyyarusso how are you?
[01:37] <Andrew250> tonyyarusso: what is the best software to use to format my disc to that file system.  I am currently using PartitionMagic?
[01:37] <eternaljoy> tonyyarusso: this comand works: sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd start
[01:37] <hekar> myro: flannel is right the compiler doesn't do anything special with the command line arguments of a program just compiles them as normal
[01:37] <Arrick> chucktx, fixres
[01:37] <Andrew250> wow tony is busy.
[01:37] <tonyyarusso> Arrick: Been busy, but okay.  -offtopic?
[01:38] <michael_> anyone know what to install to get 3d to work? i have an nvidia card and it wont do anything in 3d
[01:38] <eternaljoy> hekar: how can I now configure it?
[01:38] <tonyyarusso> Andrew250: I usually use GParted for everything, from a live CD when necessary
[01:38] <hekar> Andrew250: gparted is a good tool for partitioning
[01:38] <chucktx> Arrick: where?
[01:38] <Arrick> BootITNG for the win tonyyarusso Andrew250
[01:38] <myro> hekar: i think you guys are right....but i thoght this is the only possibility to solve tghe problem...
[01:38] <Andrew250> can you use it on windows?
[01:38] <eternaljoy> hekar: i got vsftpd running.  but how do I configure it and add users?
[01:38] <Ltar> How can I determine what version of Ubuntu i'm currently running?
[01:38] <myro> hekar: got any ideas to how can i fix this problem?
[01:38] <Arrick> Andrew250, NTFS i wouldnt trust gparted with
[01:39] <defendguin> ever since a few nights ago now ubuntu feisty pauses at configuring network during boot
[01:39] <Arrick> its hit and miss
[01:39] <eternaljoy> tonyyarusso: any ideas?  uou use vsftpd?
[01:39] <myro> hekar: plz dont says "change distro!" ;)
[01:39] <Flannel> myro: It'd all be in the source.  Your best bet is to break out your text editor, find main() and see how it's dealing with parameters
[01:39] <hekar> eternaljoy: sudo gedit /etc/vsftpd.conf to configure it and users are normal system users with their normal passwords
[01:39] <tonyyarusso> eternaljoy: I do, never had that problem though.  I'd check the Launchpad bugs list first.
[01:39] <chucktx> I'm trying to change my resolution but the highest listed is 800x600
[01:39] <aricz> Is there a way to raise the volumelevel on my soundcard in terminal/console? I'm playing .sid with sidplay2 .. no way to raise volume through the player..
[01:39] <firefoxman> defendguin: Go to #ubuntu+1 for fiesty support!
[01:39] <Andrew250> Arrick: why do you say that?
[01:39] <jhornick> aricz: alsamixer
[01:39] <eternaljoy> tonyyarusso: your comand didnt work, but this worked:  sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd start
[01:39] <hekar> myro: nah look around the code for errors, i doubt it's ubuntu's fault
[01:39] <eternaljoy> hekar:  do you type:  sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd start ?
[01:40] <aricz> jhornick : Ahhhhh.. verrrrry nice! Thank you
[01:40] <hekar> eternaljoy: yes that starts vsftpd
[01:40] <aricz> text.. mmmm
[01:40] <chucktx> The last time I ran the x configuration X wouldn't start afterwards
[01:40] <Arrick> Andrew250, because half the time the NTFS parition created is corrupted.
[01:40] <eternaljoy> hekar: is there a GUI frontend for it? :)
[01:40] <tonyyarusso> eternaljoy: Okay, if you submit your own bug report, make sure to include that - it will help narrow things down
[01:40] <hekar> eternaljoy: as for the ftp users, they are system users, like the users you login with
[01:41] <eternaljoy> hekar: what?
[01:41] <myro> hekar: but its so strange... i got the same source code on both pcs...... and if the compiler can't affect this problem...im not sure if coding the main will help me...
[01:41] <myro> hekar: but ill give it a try..
[01:41] <eternaljoy> hekar: I just want 1person to login as anon ymous and upload files
[01:41] <hekar> eternaljoy: lol no man, learn the ways of the config file you will love it and never look at the gui again
[01:41] <Flannel> myro: It would be the environment (DEFINES etc) that the compiler runs in.  But even then, for the authors of the software to do silly things like that, doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
[01:41] <chucktx> Anybody got any idea on how to tell it toi let me select something higher?
[01:41] <hekar> eternaljoy: you need to edit the config file /etc/vsftpd.conf to enable that
[01:41] <Andrew250> I'm just trying to create a good Ext3 partition.  I know PartitionMagic can but it's called a Linux Ext3 and I'm worried about using it with XP.
[01:42] <eternaljoy> hekar: ok, ill try
[01:42] <firefoxman> Hi, I am having some issues using my email client.
[01:42] <eternaljoy> hekar: vsftpd can run either from an inetd or as a standalone. whats the diff?
[01:42] <eternaljoy> hekar:  whast the command to stop it from running?
[01:42] <hekar> myro: yes its very strange, i have had weird behavior on ubuntu due to librarys not having links in the correct
[01:43] <hekar> sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd stop
[01:43] <firefoxman> Andrew250: It is just tring to frighten you away from it. Windows can read/write to linux partitions.
[01:43] <firefoxman> Has been able to for a while.
[01:43] <hekar> eternaljoy: its kinda hard to explain the difference, i run as standalone
[01:44] <Andrew250> Firefoxman: thank you
[01:44] <jhornick> silly gparted
[01:44] <myro> hekar: so you maybe i can try to install a diffrent distro......... i'm just tring to figure out the best way to run this program
[01:44] <firefoxman> !ext3 > Andrew250
[01:44] <eternaljoy> hekar: lol! i cant find the home folder!  wheres that?
[01:44] <hekar> eternaljoy: you wouldn't be missing out on anything cool if you run as standalone
[01:44] <myro> hekar: my eng sux :( sorry...cant even write well ;)
[01:44] <firefoxman> Andrew250: For the driver, see pm from ubotu.
[01:44] <Andrew250> pm?
[01:44] <eternaljoy> hekar: is it stabdalone bty default?
[01:44] <Flannel> myro: which program?
[01:44] <hekar> myro: lol its okay, my english sucks too and i live in an english country, aww yea what program?
[01:45] <myro> ffserver and ffmpeg on two diffents pc
[01:45] <hekar> eternaljoy: yes it is
[01:45] <eternaljoy> hekar: where is the home folder it created?
[01:45] <hekar> eternaljoy: lol what??
[01:45] <hekar> eternaljoy: oh you mean /home/ftp/
[01:45] <eternaljoy> hekar: if someone logs into my ftp server and uploads a file.  Where is that file stored?
[01:45] <myro> Flannel:  ffserver and ffmpeg on two diffents pc
[01:45] <Flannel> myro: er, you know that's in the repostiries, right?
[01:46] <firefoxman> !ext3 | Andrew250
[01:46] <Andrew250> Firefoxman: have you used partitionMagic?
[01:46] <firefoxman> !ext3 | Andrew250
[01:46] <ubotu> Andrew250: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org
[01:46] <firefoxman> Andrew250: Yes.
[01:46] <chucktx> Anybody got any idea why the installer kept failing when I would choose to have it automatically partition the drive I was trying to install to?
[01:46] <myro> Flannel: i didnt use the repos...cause i should have the same version on both computers
[01:46] <myro> Flannel: and they have diffrent distros like i told u
[01:47] <Andrew250> Firfoxman: it won't let me set a drive letter for that partition.
[01:47] <Flannel> myro: I see.  Why do you need the same version on btoh computers?
[01:47] <whaleofconfusion> in the Evolution mail client, how do you set up more than one account?  I set up 1 account when starting it up but now I can't find in the menus or in the help how I'm supposed to add another email account
[01:47] <hekar> myro: out of curiosity whats the other distro your running?
[01:47] <myro> Flannel: cause i tryed with repos but it didn t work.... i think its a version problem
[01:47] <firefoxman> Andrew250: Like ubotu said, you will need a driver. http://www.fs-driver.org
[01:48] <eternaljoy> hekar: can you test it for me pls?
[01:48] <Andrew250> before I can format?
[01:48] <whaleofconfusion> I want to receive mail from 2 accounts simultaneously and have the option to send using either "from" field
[01:48] <Andrew250> or after?
[01:48] <myro> hekar: im using ffserver on SME SERVER (fedora core) and ffmpeg on Ubutnu
[01:48] <whaleofconfusion> this must be a very common concern
[01:48] <eternaljoy> hekar: may I PM you?
[01:48] <hekar> eternaljoy: sure pm me
[01:48] <Ruisu> random question.. i use gnome because i prefer it over KDE. It seems there are some very good programs for KDE. i cannot run kde programs... how can i run them?
[01:48] <Flannel> myro: You might want to figure out what the real causes of all these problems are, instead of just guessing and running around like a chicken with your head cut off.
[01:49] <Flannel> Ruisu: you can.  Just install them with your package manager
[01:49] <firefoxman> Andrew250: After. Or before. Dosnt really matter.
[01:49] <Ruisu> and not with add/remove?
[01:49] <Andrew250> Firefoxman: should it be a logical or primary partition?
[01:49] <myro> Flannel: you are right...but i caqnt' even figure out where to start
[01:49] <eternaljoy> hekar: im pm but you dont reply. cant u see me?
[01:49] <firefoxman> Andrew250: Logical.
[01:49] <Andrew250> thanks
[01:50] <Andrew250> Firefoxman: Why is an exteneded partition made?
[01:50] <hekar> eternaljoy: sorry i got your pm now
[01:51] <firefoxman> eternaljoy: Try this: /query NAME <PRESS ENTER>, and type your message. If that dosnt work, /msg NAME MESSAGE.
[01:51] <eternaljoy> hekar: btw, this doesnt stop it: sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd stop
[01:51] <firefoxman> Andrew250: What do you mean?
[01:51] <Andrew250> Firefoxman: this will be the only partition on the drive.
[01:51] <matt1234> anyone know what a good linux alternative to Cool Edit is?
[01:51] <eternaljoy> hekar: I sent you a PM. can you see it?
[01:51] <Flannel> Ruisu: add/remove probably doesn't list them.  Try Synaptic.  Add/remove lists ... maybe 100 programs.  There are thousands in the repositories
[01:51] <Forgott3n> well after 4 hours of trying to get this to work... lets hope the kind people on the forums can help me out
[01:51] <myro> Flannel: just to be sure that u understood my problem
[01:51] <hekar> eternaljoy: yea i just sent you replies
[01:51] <Agrajag> matt1234: that's an audio editor right? Try audacity.
[01:51] <eternaljoy> hekar: i gor no replies
[01:51] <myro> Flannel: when i run this cmd
[01:52] <Forgott3n> anyone here knowledgable of the WPA-PSK issues with ubuntu?
[01:52] <myro> Flannel: root@myro-desktop-ubuntu:~/ffmpeg# ffmpeg -vd /dev/video0 http://radenovic.local/test1.ffm
[01:52] <eternaljoy> hekar: type /notice eternaljoy message
[01:52] <Andrew250> Friefoxman: when I choose the ext3 logical partition, partitionmagic create the ext3 partition within an extenede partition.
[01:52] <matt1234> Agrajag, yea, multitrack editor.... i havnt figured out how to get audacity to do multitracking
[01:52] <myro> Flannel: i got this : ffmpeg: unrecognized option '-vd'
[01:52] <firefoxman> Andrew250: Oooh.... Well, windows cannot run ext3 if that is teh ONLY partition...
[01:52] <matt1234> Agrajag, know if they have a channel on here?
[01:52] <myro> Flannel: just on ubuntu
[01:52] <Agrajag> matt1234: no clue
[01:53] <mzracer360> flannel: when using mod_musicindex, would it be better to put every mp3 in one folder or split the folders up into folder for each artist then folders for each album and then mp3 files?  or does it matter?
[01:53] <matt1234> Agrajag, ok, i'll look at audacity more i guess, thanks
[01:53] <Flannel> mzracer360: no idea.  I'e never used it.
[01:53] <Andrew250> Firefoxman: this is a second drive that I'm using for documents and the first drive will be for the OSs.
[01:54] <mzracer360> Flannel: ok, i got it working BTW, i just needed to restart the whole machine, and not just Apache
[01:54] <Flannel> mzracer360: thats... rather odd.
[01:54] <Kazol> I have a problem: I cannot open a 600MB .avi file in vlc. Do I need a codec? In m$, vlc opened all sorts of media files.
[01:54] <knoppix> HEYY
[01:54] <firefoxman> Andrew250: What are their sizes?
[01:54] <knoppix> SO Y DO I CARE
[01:54] <bruenig> I like how he mentions that it is 600MB
[01:55] <hekar> lol pirated movie...
[01:55] <chili5555> pr0n
[01:55] <knoppix> SHUT UP U GEEKS
[01:55] <Kazol> yes, it's a Russian pirated movie about gangsters.
[01:55] <BarronVon> anyone know how how to make the mouse whell scroll faster?
[01:55] <theacolyte> !inappropriate | knoppix
[01:55] <ubotu> knoppix: The current discussion topic is inappropriate for this channel. Please stop.
[01:55] <Madpilot> knoppix, can the ALL CAPS, please,

[02:17] <Andrew250> jrib: thanks
[02:17] <jrib> Kendreague: it means your /etc/fstab file doesn't mention /dev/hdc (I guess)
[02:17] <tbuss> When using samba I can share files stored in internal hdd, but when I try to share a file on external hdd, the share fails. anyone have any suggestions?

[02:27] <neil__> jrib: hmm actually, it IS enabled, looks like the lines havent been commented out for it, but 2 new ones were added at the start of the file..
[02:27] <zoredache> I have 2 network interfaces, a dhcp, and static.  the interface with the static address has a default gateway, and it should be the default gateway.  Is there a way to set a metric for a 'dhcp' interface in network/interfaces?  Or is there something I can tweak in the dhclient cnfiguration?
[02:27] <jrib> Kendreague: 'cat /etc/fstab'  what does that return?
[02:28] <jrib> neil__: pastebin the file if you aren't sure
[02:28] <firefoxman> How can I find out what my GPG ID is?

[02:28] <Andrew250> Firefoxman: may I PM you?
[02:28] <tbuss> has anyone ever run into problems sharing a file with samba stored on a external hdd
[02:29] <firefoxman> Andrew250: Yes.
[02:29] <jrib> enc: yes, just export DISPLAY correctly  (I think)
[02:29] <Kendreague> jrib: Yeah. There are 8 partitions of Apple drivers, hda9 is Mac OS 9, hda10 is Mac OS X, hda11 is for Ubuntu, hda12 is swap.
[02:29] <chili5555> Assimilator2: not a clue, perhaps a corrupted download??? Maybe someone else will see it
[02:29] <aj_> can anybody help me figure out how to use the windows driver for my linksys wireless card in 6.01 LTS
[02:29] <jrib> Kendreague: is hda11 all of / ?  ie nothing seperate for /home or /root or something?

[02:30] <Kendreague> jrib: okay thanks
[02:30] <enc> jrib: I was trying that, let me play around with it some more and see what happens.
[02:30] <neil__> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14114/
[02:30] <Assimilator2> chili5555: ok thankx for that I snagged the windows version too so i'll try that on my XP machien
[02:31] <neil__> bit confused as uncommenting the line it says will overlap with the top 2 lines
[02:31] <neil__> so i think I need to transfer some info over, and delete 2 of the 4
[02:31] <tbuss> aj_: manufacturer? if your chipset is supported by linux then use linux-restricted-modules, if not you can try ndiswrapper
[02:31] <neil__> or maybe just add edgy-backports?
[02:32] <jrib> Kendreague: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14115/  pastebin yours after you make it so we can check that it looks ok
[02:32] <Kazol> jrib: I'm following directions on howto install peerguardian. It's asking me to create a blank text file and save it as peerguardian.sh.
[02:32] <aj_> tbuss I have been to the forum and it says that the ndiswrapper is not necassary
[02:32] <Kendreague> jrib: Thanks
[02:32] <jrib> Kazol: 'touch peerguardian.sh'  will create a blank file called "peerguardian.sh" in the current directory
[02:32] <Paladine> kazol type touch peerguardian.sh
[02:33] <aj_> tbuss it says it is supported, I have the window driver for it but am really unsure of how to get it to work
[02:33] <vluid> 
[02:33] <jrib> neil__: just uncomment lines 26 and 27 to get backports
[02:33] <aj_> tbuss it is wpc54g v2
[02:33] <tbuss> aj_: you dont need the windows driver, thats what supported means. use linux-restricted-modules
[02:33] <neil__> jrib: dont need to enable security too?
[02:34] <wine^> hello
[02:34] <neil__> or are those 2 commented out ones unnecessary due to the 2 lines above them
[02:35] <aj_> tbuss that is where I am unsure , I am new to this have been newly weened from windows
[02:35] <jrib> neil__: it's already enabled
[02:35] <tbuss> aj_: I had the same problem, a little confusing at first, if you card is supported then linux drivers have been build for the card, you won't need the native windows drivers
[02:35] <neil__> cool
[02:35] <whodare> does anyone know the best way to find ubuntu repositories?
[02:35] <neil__> I can delete those two really then, the universe security lines
[02:35] <firefoxman> The wikipage about GPG did not tell me how to get key-id.
[02:35] <tbuss> aj_: what type of card desktop or laptop
[02:36] <wine^> nop
[02:36] <Daemonik> Using Xubuntu 6.10 here, when sudo dpkg-reconfigure is run ati is listed under X server driver but Radeon is not. Is there something I must install or do I just edit xorg.conf manually afterwards?
[02:36] <aj_> tbuss where can I find the drivers, it said if I had the card instaled when I installed 6.01 it would have loaded for me, but I just did the upgrade from on line the other night and had to use the etnernet
[02:36] <firefoxman> So, can some one give me the command to retrive my key ID?
[02:36] <aj_> laptop
[02:36] <aj_> tbuss laptop
[02:36] <jrib> firefoxman: gpg --list-keys
[02:37] <kevin______> hello, can i transfer my os to a new hd?
[02:37] <firefoxman> jrib: Thank you.
[02:37] <aj_> tbuss believe me if I had the ubuntu cd I would just re install
[02:37] <firefoxman> jrib: So, what part it the id?
[02:37] <neil__> jrib: All sorted, thanks for your help :)
[02:37] <tbuss> aj_ : sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`
[02:37] <neil__> prob is the GUI on synaptic adds its own lines and doesnt comment out the already given ones, confused me :)
[02:38] <jrib> firefoxman: in "pub   1024D/6E33C97B 2005-12-18" for me it is 6E33C97B
[02:38] <kevin______> im getting a new sata hd and i need to know if i can transfer everything over to it
[02:38] <jrib> neil__: great, yw
[02:38] <tbuss> aj_ if your card is supported then this will install drivers
[02:38] <firefoxman> Ah, so 757408F6 is mine.
[02:38] <mzracer360> flannel: I've made a few adjustments to my web server and now I'm getting a different error than before when i try to restart. :(
[02:39] <Kendreague> jrib: I think I tried everything, I don't think I have an editor available...
[02:39] <jrib> Kendreague: you don't have 'nano'?
[02:39] <firefoxman> jrib: Is there a way to change my passphrase?
[02:39] <Kendreague> jrib: "/bin/sh: nano: not found"
[02:40] <jrib> Kendreague: you should probably reboot and use a live cd (or a different OS that can write to /dev/hda11) to create /etc/fstab then
[02:40] <eternaljoy> anyone here use vsftpd?
[02:40] <aj_> tbuss: I do have to have the card plugged in right (probably a dumb ?)
[02:40] <Kendreague> I'm using the downloaded 6.10 CD to install. I've managed to completely install 5.04, but it doesn't want to boot...
[02:40] <jrib> firefoxman: hmm I don't know.  If no one here knows, try #gnupg
[02:41] <firefoxman> Thanks, jrib!
[02:41] <w|nE^SparC^> i did use vsftpd
[02:41] <w|nE^SparC^> is bad
[02:41] <starseed> can someone recommend a good source for upgrading edgy to fiesty .. I'm getting the itch
[02:41] <Punker> sudo aptitude install w32codecs  does this do anything ?
[02:41] <jrib> Kendreague: wait have you ever had a working ubuntu install?
[02:41] <aj_> tbuss do I have to be online to do that
[02:41] <Kendreague> jrib: no.
[02:41] <Kendreague> jrib: could it be because I'm not using the yaboot bootloader? I've got an OldWorld powerbook, and have to use BootX
[02:41] <tbuss> aj_: yes, are you on another computer ?
[02:42] <w|nE^SparC^> yaboot?
[02:42] <w|nE^SparC^> what is it?
[02:42] <aj_> I have another computer that is on line
[02:42] <Smotang> Hey, I need to know how to setup a SSH server on my computer? any pointers? I have installed OpenSSH client and server on my computer how do I set it up?
[02:42] <jrib> Kendreague: ah... it makes sense now...  Yeah you shouldn't bother creating a new /etc/fstab, you'll want to make sure you get a proper install somehow.  I don't have any experience installing ubuntu on powerbooks though.  Maybe someone else can help.  I can suggest you try the alternate cd though as it tends to cause less problems in general
[02:42] <jrib> !ssh > Smotang    (Smotang, see the private message from ubotu)
[02:42] <aj_> tbuss it is the computer that I am on now that I need the driver for
[02:42] <Kendreague> jrib: Okay. I'm setting up the Kernel and Ramdisk in OS 9 and BootX right now, and I'll let you know how the install goes anyway. Thanks for your help.
[02:43] <Nergar> what can i use to reliably write to ntfs?
[02:43] <Smotang> thanks
[02:43] <jrib> Kendreague: k, gl
[02:43] <neil__> I can add java 5 direct using add/remove programs, but if I want to install java 6, does anyone know of a guide?
[02:43] <tbuss> aj_ okay, so you are wired right now for connection
[02:43] <aaronk> I receive the following error on startup: "There are differences between boot sector and its backup... Not automatically fixing this" I would like to disable fsck so this error will go away, but I don't know how to access fstab. Help requested.
[02:43] <jrib> Nergar: windows, but you amy want to try !ntfs-3g on linux
[02:43] <firefoxman> /awau
[02:43] <tbuss> aj_ open the terminal and paste in the command I sent out earlier
[02:43] <aj_> tbuss yes, but the wireless card wont fit in at the same time
[02:43] <jrib> neil__: sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre
[02:44] <eternaljoy> w|nE^SparC^: how do you set it so ppl can uploading things?
[02:44] <Nergar> jrib, how reliable is ntfs-3g?
[02:44] <Niriven> If i run feisty beta, when the release comes out, will it update?
[02:44] <tbuss> aj_ thats okay, were just downloading the needed material
[02:44] <neil__> thanks jrib
[02:44] <Nergar> !ntfs-3g > Nergar
[02:44] <jrib> Nergar: I don't use ntfs, but if I did I wouldn't use it without backups of important data.  THis is my personal opinion, some people feel it's fine...
[02:44] <aj_> tbuss cool give me a couple secs
[02:44] <concept10> What X.org package do I need to install the Matchbox WM?
[02:44] <neil__> !aptitude
[02:44] <ubotu> aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT, like apt-get. However, aptitude can remember the dependencies installed with a package and remove them if you uninstall. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide
[02:45] <w|nE^SparC^> eternaljoy: what?
[02:45] <eternaljoy> w|nE^SparC^: how do you set it so ppl can uploading things?
[02:45] <w|nE^SparC^> eternaljoy: what do you need?
[02:45] <eternaljoy> w|nE^SparC^: nobody can upload anything when they I run vsftpd
[02:46] <Nergar> jrib, i have a external usb hdd and i need it to share files with linux a and windows, what file system should i use?
[02:46] <DjViper> eternaljoy: set proper writepermissions
[02:46] <jrib> Nergar: ext3
[02:46] <eternaljoy> DjViper: how?
[02:46] <jrib> Nergar: to write to ext3 from windows, see:
[02:46] <w|nE^SparC^> i'm not remember for what change that
[02:46] <jrib> !ext3 | Nergar
[02:46] <ubotu> Nergar: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org
[02:47] <DjViper> eternaljoy: how? chmod
[02:47] <eternaljoy> DjViper: what???
[02:47] <wilo> has anyone here upgraded from ubuntu 6.10 to ubuntu 7.0*?
[02:47] <eternaljoy> DjViper: change to anonynous file permisssions?
[02:47] <eternaljoy> DjViper: are you drunk dude?
[02:47] <Nergar> jrib, sorry to bother but wich one is more reliable? 3g or fs-driver?
[02:48] <jrib> wilo: most people in #ubuntu+1 have, that room is dedicated to 7.04
[02:48] <budluva__> what is the best way to mount a 2nd hdd? this is my fstab entry /dev/hdb1 /media/hdb1   ext3    defaults,user  0       0, so i mount /media/hdb1 and it mounts fine but i can't read or write as it is owned by root, well how do i mount with rw permissions for my user? thats what i thought the user option in fstab was for?
[02:48] <eternaljoy> wilo: no need
[02:48] <chucktx> xC?an anyone help me change my resolution to something larger than
[02:48] <DjViper> eternaljoy: firstly, find out which user is running it
[02:48] <neil__> jrib: any idea how to get it running in firefox now?
[02:48] <enc> woo hoo, most people dont care but I figured out my answer to didn't take me all night either like these things usually do :P I am learning though ---> Is there a way to ssh from say my laptop to my ubuntu desktop and type "mplayer video.avi" on my laptop and have it display on the desktop?
[02:48] <Kendreague> How big must a swapfile be?
[02:48] <eternaljoy> DjViper: how I add user?
[02:48] <jrib> Nergar: I would trust fs-driver since the specs for ext3 are known, while ntfs requires reverse engineering
[02:48] <DjViper> eternaljoy: then, chown the dir you're trying to upload into to that user
[02:48] <jrib> neil__: sudo aptitude install sun-java6-plugin
[02:48] <Nergar> jrib, clever
[02:48] <eternaljoy> DjViper: how I add user in vsftpd?>
[02:49] <DjViper> eternaljoy: I dont know
[02:49] <buu> So yeah. "fglrx(0): DRIScreenInit failed". IT mentions a kernel module problem. I try to explicitly load fglrx with modprobe and it says "FATAL: Error running install command for fglrx". This is from the xorg-driver-fglrx
[02:49] <eternaljoy> DjViper: are you drunk dude?
[02:49] <DjViper> eternaljoy: no, are you rude?
[02:49] <neil__> thanks jrib :(
[02:49] <eternaljoy> DjViper: you are drunk, stoned or trolling
[02:49] <neil__> :)*
[02:49] <Epic720> mmmmm pabst and tuna
[02:49] <DjViper> eternaljoy: ya, of course
[02:50] <whodare> can someone tell me how to install a gnome partition editor tar.bz2 file?
[02:50] <aaronk> I receive the following error on startup: "There are differences between boot sector and its backup... Not automatically fixing this" I would like to disable fsck so this error will go away, but I don't know how to access fstab. Help requested.
[02:50] <jrib> whodare: you want to install gparted?
[02:50] <Epic720> I need help with an error I am getting with the Netjuke installation, can anyone help me?
[02:50] <whodare> yes
[02:50] <jrib> whodare: use synaptic, or add/remove, or apt-get, or aptitude to install the 'gparted' package
[02:51] <jrib> !info gparted | whodare
[02:51] <ubotu> whodare: gparted: GNOME partition editor. In component main, is optional. Version 0.2.5-1.1ubuntu11 (edgy), package size 314 kB, installed size 1588 kB
[02:51] <jepeltw> hello everyone, I installed Ubuntu 6.10, then did apt-get install kubuntu-desktop to get Kubuntu, and I'm wondering if there's a nice neat way to remove GNOME and its associated packages
[02:51] <jrib> jepeltw: there is no nice neat way
[02:51] <dustpylex2> k
[02:51] <whodare> I can't find it in add/remove...what is apt command?
[02:51] <concept10> What is the minimum package I need to run X?
[02:51] <jrib> jepeltw: there are ugly hacky ways though
[02:51] <wilo> jrib: really, ill check tat out... at #ubuntu+1?
[02:51] <jrib> wilo: yep
[02:51] <aj_> tbuss why wont it let me type in my password
[02:52] <wilo> eternaljoy: no need? as in its not any different to 6.10?
[02:52] <nick_> j
[02:52] <jrib> whodare: sudo apt-get install gparted
[02:52] <jrib> !apt > whodare    (whodare, see the private message from ubotu)
[02:52] <jepeltw> jrib, are any of them better than just grabbing gnome related packages in Synaptic and chucking them?
[02:52] <eternaljoy> wilo: no need!  theres niothing in 7 that I cant do in 6.10
[02:52] <Insolit> hi all
[02:52] <Insolit> do u know if it's possible to put an entry in grub that just points to another grub boot loader?
[02:52] <nick_> I installed feisty off a cd on my extra computer, is there anyway to downgrade it to edgy without reintalling?
[02:52] <jrib> jepeltw: well you can use deborphan or just visit http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde .  Doing it manualyl in synaptic will take you a long time :)
[02:53] <jrib> nick_: no
[02:53] <jepeltw> jrib, I got pretty far, up to removing 552 MB, then Synaptic crashed :(
[02:53] <tbuss> aj_ : does it not accept it? or it wont let you type it?
[02:53] <nick_> jrib: are you sure?
[02:53] <whodare> thank you!
[02:53] <aj_> tbuss wont let me type
[02:53] <nick_> jrib: suddenly my wireless won't work in feisty
[02:53] <budluva__> what is the best way to mount a 2nd hdd? this is my fstab entry /dev/hdb1 /media/hdb1   ext3    defaults,user  0       0, so i mount /media/hdb1 and it mounts fine but i can't read or write as it is owned by root, well how do i mount with rw permissions for my user? thats what i thought the user option in fstab was for?
[02:53] <jrib> nick_: it's probably best to just fix that issue.  If you really want edgy, just do a reinstall
[02:53] <jepeltw> jrib, thanks for the link
[02:54] <tbuss> aj_: your trying to use sudo but when it ask for password it wont let you type anything i the terminal
[02:54] <jrib> budluva__: change the permissions to whatever you want, it's ext3
[02:54] <jrib> !permissions > budluva__    (budluva__, see the private message from ubotu)
[02:54] <nick_> jrib: i  can't figure out how to fix it, my wireless card shows up as eth1 and wlan0 and I can see the networks but I can't connect
[02:55] <mark_> /mode $me +x
[02:55] <aj_> tbuss hold on
[02:55] <nick_> jrib: any advise?
[02:55] <jrib> nick_: try #ubuntu+1 for help in feisty, maybe it is a known issue
[02:55] <budluva__> jrib: ya but will those perms stay after a reboot?
[02:55] <jrib> budluva__: yes
[02:55] <budluva__> ok
[02:56] <w|nE^SparC^> #SysBSD

[02:57] <xerophyte> take look at the step 9
[02:57] <Insolit> do u know if it's possible to put an entry in grub that just points to another grub boot loader?
[02:57] <budluva__> jrib: ok, i unmounted, changed perms, then mounted, they went back to root:root
[02:57] <budluva__> jrib: ?
[02:57] <Smotang> Whats Linux shells version of Ipconfig (windows terminal/command prompt)?
[02:57] <jrib> budluva__: umm why did you unmount?  This is the same as any other file on your disk
[02:58] <jrib> budluva__: just change permissions on the files, then unmount and remount if you want to test if they stay
[02:58] <whodare> what is best way to unzip/compile a tar.bz2 file?
[02:58] <jrib> whodare: did you manage to install gparted?
[02:58] <chili5555> Smotang: ifconfig
[02:58] <Ruisu> hey
[02:58] <whodare> yes..
[02:58] <Insolit> budluva__: define yourself as the owner of that partition
[02:58] <buu> Ok.
[02:58] <Ruisu> anyone know why i can't run KDE programs under gnome?
[02:58] <jrib> whodare: in general you want to avoid manually compiling things

[02:58] <aaronk> How do gain access to an unbootable linux partition?
[02:58] <Ruisu> I tried installing through package manager
[02:58] <Ruisu> doesnt work
[02:59] <jrib> Ruisu: what program?
[02:59] <jrib> aaronk: use a livecd?  mount it on a working OS?
[02:59] <Usher> I tried to install flashplayer from adobes website.. with the .rpm file and it keeps trying to launch in Totem, is there an easier way to enable flash on linux ?
[02:59] <Ruisu> Ktorrent, AmaroK, Konversation
[02:59] <jrib> !flash > Usher    (Usher, see the private message from ubotu)
[02:59] <buu> I'm trying to follow these wacky instructions for "CompositeManager/Xgl", but when I try to install xserver-xgl, no packages found.
[02:59] <buu> Do still need to install this or ...?
[02:59] <Usher> jrib: Thanks!
[02:59] <jrib> Ruisu: ok lets start with "konversation".  What happens when you try to run it in a terminal?
[03:00] <aaronk> jrib, how--via livecd
[03:00] <aaronk> ?
[03:00] <jrib> buu: #ubuntu+1 for help with that
[03:00] <Ruisu> hmm sorta a n00b you may have to guide me step by step ^_^;;
[03:00] <Zehava> I installed a desktop theme for KDE, domino.  It's installed fully but I cannot figure out how to impliment it, any suggestions?
[03:00] <jrib> aaronk: you would just mount the partition on your hard disk
[03:00] <whodare> I down loaded themes that are tar.gz file..how do I open them up and install?
[03:01] <drew> open Theme manager, and just move the ziped file into that window?
[03:01] <Ruisu> let me open terminal
[03:01] <jrib> Ruisu: k, try to prefix what you say with the name of the person you are addressing.  Open a terminal and type 'konversation' without the quotes.  What is the output?
[03:01] <aaronk> jrib, what command? mount /dev/sda1 just says its not in fstab.
[03:01] <jrib> aaronk: first create a mount point:  sudo mkdir /media/sda1.  Then mount it to that mount point: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1
[03:02] <Ruisu> jrib, oh wow... this is huge
[03:02] <Kendreague> Does Wine run on PowerPC?
[03:02] <Zehava> whodare I use the graphical package extractor called ark on KDE, if you use gnome it has one too, just goto thelocation in your file menue and click/double click it and it will open and give you the option to extract

[03:02] <jrib> Ruisu: I'll unmute in a second when I think the paste has stopped...
[03:03] <bruenig> GutterPhenomenon, I believe you just run .jars, not really an install per se
[03:03] <Zehava> whodare then you'll have to go to a terminal cd into the folder where it extracted and config, make, make install from there.
[03:03] <bruenig> GutterPhenomenon, as in "java -jar whatever.jar"

[03:10] <BetaRC2> Hey, can I get a quick little bit of help?
[03:10] <aaronk> bruenig, but whatever. I'm going to see if it worked.
[03:10] <bruenig> aaronk, hax0rs going to get you or what?
[03:10] <aaronk> bruenig, nothing, just seems funny
[03:10] <tbuss> aj_: I have to go, take a look here, I think it will be enough to get you connectd http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14124/
[03:11] <aaronk> bruenig, thanks for your help.
[03:11] <whodare> how is that done?
[03:11] <jrib> !sudo > aaronk    (aaronk, see the private message from ubotu)
[03:11] <jrib> Ruisu: yep, one sec
[03:11] <bruenig> whodare, do you know where the theme thing is, I forget what it is called
[03:11] <whodare> drag what where?
[03:11] <Andrew250> Does anyone know why a drive that was just formated for Ext3 has 12GBs used already?
[03:11] <bruenig> whodare, it is in "system>preferences>themes" or something like that
[03:11] <whodare> no...I just loaded and this is my first day at ubuntu...
[03:11] <conkers> If I turn a service off throught the System >> Services menu will it stay off when I log out or reboot? Also I turned off the printer services and festival. Since I have no printers and I dont use speech systhesis will it help my pc speed?
[03:11] <jrib> Ruisu: what does this command return: 'ls -ld ~/.kde; ls -ld ~/.kde/share' without quotes
[03:11] <whodare> did that..
[03:11] <aj_> tbuss thanks for all your help is greatly appreciated
[03:12] <bruenig> whodare, drag the .tar.gz into that window
[03:12] <theacolyte> conkers: yes, the check box is to prevent startup, the stop button is to stop it right then and there
[03:12] <tbuss> aj_: this one might be easier to read http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14127/
[03:12] <whodare> it doesn't do anything..
[03:12] <bruenig> whodare, it must do something
[03:12] <GutterPhenomenon> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14126/plain/
[03:12] <GutterPhenomenon> this is my issue after jarring the JAR file
[03:12] <conkers> theacolyte I do not see any stop buttons I am permitted to check or uncheck the options
[03:12] <aj_> tbuss thanks again
[03:13] <whodare> file format invalid?
[03:13] <tbuss> aj_: np you'll figure it out just don't give up....................later
[03:13] <whodare> file format invalid
[03:13] <Ruisu> jrib, is it okay to paste 2 lines?
[03:13] <bruenig> whodare, ok, then yeah, that is not correctly formatted
[03:13] <aj_> tbuss giving up means going back to windows forget that
[03:13] <bruenig> whodare, go to art.gnome.org or gnome-look.org and get some good themes
[03:13] <Andrew250> Does anyone know why a drive that was just formated for Ext3 has 12GBs used already?
[03:13] <chili5555> aj_: wireless not workin?
[03:13] <whodare> thanks!
[03:14] <conkers> What is the purpose of all the system loggers and such in services?
[03:14] <x_bunux> im unable to hear any sound thru iceweasel (firefox) but i can hear sound thru a cd player and gnome sounds. ideas?
[03:14] <kluge> hi i want my computer to make me take a break ever hour.. i remember i had that set once but i cant find the setting now.. how to i make my computer make me take a break?
[03:14] <preaction> conkers: so if something goes very bad wrong you can know what made it happen?
[03:14] <bruenig> conkers, yeah debugging, troubleshooting, etc.
[03:14] <conkers> But turning those services off will not really speed up my laptop noticably will it?
[03:15] <GutterPhenomenon> very simple procedure here, tried JARring a JAR file thru terminal, and i got this... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14126/plain/
[03:15] <bruenig> kluge, by make you, you mean what? like shutdown or what
[03:15] <kluge> no just take a break bruenig.. like an eye strain break
[03:15] <kluge> (or in my case im going to start doing yoga also)
[03:15] <Ruisu> jrib, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14129/
[03:16] <bruenig> kluge, but what do you want the computer to do, pop up with something telling you to break or, play a song or what do you want to notify you
[03:16] <BarronVon> having trouble and it's not the usual port forwarding on the router problem because bitlord under XP works fine on my router... the question is since I installed linux (ubuntu) I can't get above 1 kB/s on upload speeds, and it's trashing my ratios and download speeds
[03:16] <zero-cool> hi
[03:16] <Madpilot> GutterPhenomenon, if you're not getting an answer, please wait before repeating - you're not being ignored, it's just that nobody present knows the answer
[03:16] <kluge> bruenig: i want my screen to go grey and say "TAKE A BREAK!" .. it did that before..
[03:16] <kluge> but i turned it off and cant find it now!! ;)
[03:16] <Andrew250> Does anyone know why a drive that was just formated for Ext3 has 12GBs used already?
[03:17] <bruenig> kluge, well, I can think of some ways to make something pop up and tell you to take a break, but not that exactly
[03:17] <kluge> bruenig: that would be awesome just whatever really.
[03:17] <kluge> how would i do that plz?
[03:18] <cables> kluge, System>Preferences>Keyboard has that option
[03:18] <ardchoille> kluge: Sounds like one of those apps that saves you from repititive strain injury. You might look in synaptic to see if you've installed such an app.
[03:18] <Madpilot> GutterPhenomenon, please don't PM without asking in-channel first...
[03:18] <kluge> ok, awesome..
[03:18] <cables> ardchoille, it's called Typing Break, in keyboard prefs.
[03:18] <cables> I haven't tried it, but i think it has something similar to that effect
[03:18] <bruenig> oh I was going to suggest cronning, zenity --info --text "Take a break."
[03:18] <ardchoille> cables: Ah, didn't know that.
[03:18] <kluge> cabled TYVM!! that is the one i was looking for
[03:18] <ardchoille> bruenig: That's what I do.
[03:19] <jrib> Ruisu: sudo chown -R $USER: ~
[03:19] <Ruisu> and i guess replace $USER with my name?
[03:19] <bruenig> Ruisu, you can keep $USER
[03:19] <jrib> Ruisu: no, you can type that exactly like that
[03:19] <GutterPhenomenon> vi .bashrc
[03:19] <Ruisu> okay
[03:19] <conkers> So can logging services be safely disabled on a laptops? Maybe?
[03:19] <chuck_tx> can someone please help me figure out why the installer keeps crashing??
[03:20] <jrib> Ruisu: $USER actually already has your name in it :)
[03:20] <ForrestF> I'm using Dapper, Anyway i installed the Nvidia drivers from the package list ( i have a FX5200 ) and now the shutdown / restart button is gone from the log off menu of gnome
[03:20] <regeya> meh.  it can't be time for another release to go beta again.
[03:20] <Ruisu> jrib, sudo: must be setuid root
[03:21] <jrib> Ruisu: hmm have you been using chmod/chown commands on your filesystem?
[03:21] <jrib> x-Dieu: why would you do that?  Do not do it again
[03:21] <jrib> no one do what x-Dieu said...
[03:21] <Ruisu> jrib, in a few places
[03:21] <regeya> I can hear the stupid retorts if the final feisty release has any showstoppers:  "My ext3 partitions were hosed after I upgraded!"  "Duuuuuh, why do you think they call it 'feisty'"
[03:21] <jrib> Ruisu: what exactly did you do?
[03:22] <Ruisu> jrib, chown a few directories that i couldnt write to (ntfs partitions) they are gone now as everything is ext3
[03:22] <Andrew250> Does anyone know why a drive that was just formated for Ext3 has 12GBs used already?
[03:22] <bruenig> Andrew250, nobody knows
[03:22] <Andrew250> ok
[03:22] <ForrestF> do a df -h --sync
[03:23] <ForrestF> see what it says
[03:23] <Madpilot> Andrew250, how big is the drive?
[03:23] <Andrew250> 160GB
[03:23] <Madpilot> Andrew250, ext3 will use a % of the drive for it's formatting info (all filetypes will) but 12GB of a 160GB drive seems a bit high...
[03:24] <JensenDied> Andrew: the drives are sold as base 10
[03:24] <Andrew250> Madpilot: yea that seems extremely high
[03:24] <JensenDied> they are used as a base 2
[03:24] <kujira> how do I set the permissions on a folder using the shell?
[03:24] <jrib> kujira: what folder?
[03:24] <ForrestF> chmod (mode) (folder)
[03:24] <kujira> any folder
[03:25] <cables> Can anyone tell me the difference between chmod and chown?
[03:25] <kujira> thanks
[03:25] <regeya> sign of the end:  when *n?x users refer to subdirs as 'folders'
[03:25] <jrib> cables: chmod changes permissions, chwon changes ownership
[03:25] <JensenDied> cables: one changes the owner, one changes permissions
[03:25] <regeya> don't worry; I do too...I spend most my time on macs
[03:25] <ForrestF> chown set who OWNs the folder
[03:25] <ForrestF> chmod sets the premissions
[03:25] <cables> ok
[03:25] <cables> makes sense
[03:25] <kujira> How do I see the permissions of a folder?
[03:25] <jrib> x-Dieu: I mistaked that for a forkbomb at first... I guess it means good night or something, sorry about that
[03:25] <chili5555> nobody reads man pages.
[03:25] <cafuego_> ls -ld <folder>
[03:26] <ForrestF> kujira: chmod (mode) (folder)
[03:26] <JensenDied> kujira: if your in a prompy add a -l to ls
[03:26] <cables> !permissions | kujira
[03:26] <ubotu> kujira: The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[03:26] <regeya> chili5555: why read man pages when you have overeager people on irc? ;-)
[03:26] <chili5555> lol
[03:26] <ardchoille> lol
[03:26] <ForrestF> lol
[03:26] <kujira> thanks
[03:26] <Ruisu> jrib, so pretty much screwed?
[03:26] <ForrestF> I'm using Dapper, Anyway i installed the Nvidia drivers from the package list ( i have a FX5200 ) and now the shutdown / restart button is gone from the log off menu of gnome
[03:26] <Ghillem> hi... I have just bought a new computer and I want to move the same HD to the new hardware, how could I make ubuntu recognize the new hardware? such as video card, etc etc...??
[03:26] <ForrestF> Ghillem: It should already
[03:26] <flyte__> hi all
[03:26] <jrib> Ruisu: well somehow sudo is not setuid.  Did you do anything to /usr/bin ?
[03:27] <ForrestF> Ghillem: some times X will not start as the vid cards are kinda off
[03:27] <Andrew250> JensenDied ok if you want it that way. 13,102,952,448 bytes are being used out of 160,039,239,660 bytes or 12.2 GB out of 149 GB.  It thing that's a crazy amount for a file system to use.
[03:27] <Ghillem> kinda off... like what? its a brand new video card.
[03:27] <chili5555> regaya: my favorite was a guy on the forum who said he didnt have the sudo program anywhere
[03:27] <jrib> Ruisu: or /usr or /?
[03:27] <Ghillem> i dont want to mess by touching C config files...
[03:27] <ardchoille> ForrestF: Do me a favour, open System -> Administration -> Login Window.
[03:28] <ForrestF> ok
[03:28] <JensenDied> andrew250: its not used, it doesnt exist that 12.2 is just a conversion error that you are seeing
[03:28] <x-Dieu> yes, good night - jrib ( echo "np" | tr open fukc )   ;)
[03:28] <ForrestF> ardchoille: now what
[03:28] <ardchoille> ForrestF: In the middle of that window, under "Menu Bar", is the "Show Actions Menu" checked?
[03:28] <Ruisu> jrib, the only thing i did to /usr/bin was set chown for my username
[03:28] <Andrew250> under the the windows Properties?
[03:28] <jrib> x-Dieu: heh, night
[03:28] <ForrestF> it was not
[03:28] <Ghillem> is there any program... like anaconda... or something that reconfig my hw??
[03:28] <flyte__> I just installed ubuntu server 6.10. I installed KDE desktop via "sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop", but how do I get it to boot up into KDE? When I reboot it goes into console. I looked in /etc/init.d but I don't see inittab or anything.
[03:28] <Ruisu> jrib, so i can copy rar, unrar to the folder
[03:29] <ardchoille> ForrestF: Check it, that should restore your shutdown buttons.
[03:29] <ForrestF> cool
[03:29] <Andrew250> I had the whole 149 GBs under NTFS
[03:29] <knw> hi
[03:29] <ForrestF> bwhaha
[03:29] <JensenDied> and what is there now?
[03:29] <cables> flyte__, it's not in there
[03:29] <guido__> kill!!!!
[03:29] <jrib> Ruisu: ok, so what does 'ls -ld /usr/bin; ls -l /usr/bin/sudo' return at the moment?
[03:29] <cables> flyte__, on the login screen, choose it in Sessions
[03:29] <Andrew250> 136
[03:29] <Andrew250> GBs
[03:29] <Andrew250> where did 12GBs go?
[03:30] <flyte__> cables: I see no X display at all.
[03:30] <ForrestF> did you do "df -h --sync" in a term
[03:30] <Ruisu> jrib, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14132/
[03:30] <flyte__> cables, it loads into the consol.
[03:30] <cables> flyte__, sounds like something got messed up during the install
[03:30] <cables> flyte__, not sure how to fix that.
[03:30] <jrib> Ruisu: so I'm guess you did 'chown -R'?
[03:31] <Ruisu> yes
[03:31] <flyte__> cables, so after I install KDE desktop, it should automatically boot into X?
[03:31] <sdsdf> thanks all for any help! g.bye all
[03:31] <cables> flyte__, yeah.
[03:31] <Ruisu> jrib, forgot to nick alert :p yes that is what i did
[03:31] <cables> flyte__, did it prompt you to choose GDM or KDM?
[03:31] <hateyla> babye
[03:31] <flyte__> no.
[03:31] <knw> hi
[03:31] <Kendreague> Well, Breezy has installed fine, but now i'm trying to boot it, and getting "VFS: Cannot open root device "hda10" or unknown-block(0,0); Please append a correct "root=" boot option, then it panics and reboots
[03:31] <flyte__> cables, I just did this: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[03:32] <atoponce> is it appropriate to put a paypal button on the ubuntu wiki, on a loco team page?
[03:32] <Andrew250> I guess no one knows
[03:32] <atoponce> it is for helping fund an install fest
[03:32] <JensenDied> Andrew250: yea im not sure without checking the partitioning of the disk
[03:32] <cables> flyte__, it should have asked you in the terminal to choose gdm or kdm. Were you watching the terminal when installing?
[03:32] <Andrew250> and how do I do that?
[03:32] <atoponce> Andrew250: what's your problem?
[03:32] <budluva__> anyone know a good tool to test disk transfer speeds? i want to see what im getting here from hda to hdb
[03:32] <jrib> Ruisu: best is to reinstall though you can try changing the owner back to root, setuid sudo again and, from looking at my own /usr/bin, you will want /usr/bin/at to be owned by daemon:daemon and /usr/bin/lppasswd to be owned by cupsys:lpadmin.  You would have to use "recovery mode" at the grub prompt to do this if you have not set a root password
[03:33] <Andrew250> Does anyone know why a drive that was just formated for Ext3 has 12GBs used already?
[03:33] <reggiesrob> fire fox shuts down every time I try to go somewhere
[03:33] <jrib> Ruisu: and of course, in the future, don't chmod/chown stuff outside your HOME
[03:33] <cables> reggiesrob, can you open a terminal?
[03:33] <atoponce> Andrew250: yes. it's for the format. you always lose 10% of a drive to formatting
[03:33] <reggiesrob> yes
[03:33] <ForrestF> Andrew250: do this " df -h --sync "
[03:34] <Ruisu> jrib, i see. is there anyway to set ownership back without reinstalling?
[03:34] <ForrestF> see what it says
[03:34] <Andrew250> always
[03:34] <atoponce> regardless of size
[03:34] <hdsjdl> i would apreciate some help... i get this message but it does reproduce the first seconds... Amarok currently cannot play MP3 files. wtf?
[03:34] <atoponce> always
[03:34] <Andrew250> not under NTFS
[03:34] <Andrew250> I
[03:34] <atoponce> Andrew250: yes. even under ntfs
[03:34] <hdsjdl> perhaps another media player
[03:34] <chili5555> budluva: probably not exactly what you want but check out sudo hdparm -tT /dev/hda

[03:34] <ardchoille> atoponce: Isn't that space used for the journal?
[03:34] <Ghillem> what program should I run to recreate xorg.conf?
[03:34] <atoponce> Andrew250: take a 2GB drive, format it, and you have 1.8GB available
[03:35] <gop> hi
[03:35] <cables> Ghillem, I believe sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

[03:35] <atoponce> ardchoille: that, and the format table
[03:35] <Andrew250> atoponce: I was just using NTFS and it had over 148GBs free
[03:35] <gop> any one here know how to fix that
[03:35] <ardchoille> atoponce: Ah, ok
[03:35] <atoponce> Andrew250: what is the size of the drive
[03:35] <cables> !nick | reggiesrob
[03:35] <ubotu> reggiesrob: Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[03:35] <cables> reggiesrob, hold on, sorry
[03:35] <cables> !who | reggiesrob
[03:35] <ubotu> reggiesrob: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[03:36] <Ghillem> thanks!
[03:36] <atoponce> Andrew250: 150GB?
[03:36] <Kendreague> Ugh, it's put me back to  Setup for some reason
[03:36] <Andrew250> 160GB it's the largest WD Passport
[03:36] <atoponce> Andrew250: ok. so, the capacity is 160GB, and you had 148GB avail in ntfs?
[03:36] <atoponce> Andrew250: that sounds about right
[03:36] <Andrew250> atoponce: over that
[03:36] <cables> reggiesrob, you there?
[03:37] <JensenDied> Andrew250: did you make a seperate partiton for home/boot/swap partitions?
[03:37] <Andrew250> but now ext3 is robbing me of 12.2 GBs
[03:37] <reggiesrob> !cables  yes
[03:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cables  yes - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:37] <Andrew250> I used partition magic
[03:37] <atoponce> Andrew250: it's probably the way you partitioned the drive
[03:37] <chili5555> gop: i'd guess it's a botched new install and i'd re-install. is it a new install?
[03:37] <Andrew250> it's the active partition
[03:37] <Andrew250> no extension
[03:37] <cables> reggiesrob, run firefox -safe-mode
[03:38] <atoponce> Andrew250: and, if it's 160GB, then you won't have more than 150GB avail once you format it
[03:38] <gop> chili5555:  oh shit
[03:38] <cables> reggiesrob, then you can start it in safe mode and try disabling extensions and seeing if it starts working again
[03:38] <gop> I did a upgrade -d
[03:38] <cables> !ohmy | gop
[03:38] <ubotu> gop: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[03:38] <Andrew250> it was close
[03:38] <reggiesrob> !cables how? new to this so sorry
[03:38] <chili5555> gop: anger management! new?
[03:38] <cables> reggiesrob, stop putting an exclamation point in front of my nick
[03:38] <Andrew250> I think about 149
[03:38] <usher> how do I know if my freenode registration worked or not with IDENTIFY ?
[03:38] <cables> reggiesrob, paste into the terminal with ctrl-alt-v
[03:38] <cables> usher, lemme check
[03:39] <cables> usher, it worked
[03:39] <usher> cables: Thanks man
[03:39] <cables> no problem
[03:39] <usher> cables: how could you tell
[03:39] <cables> usher, hold on
[03:39] <reggiesrob> cables ok
[03:39] <cables> usher, it says you registered over a year ago
[03:39] <Andrew250> JesonDied: do you know how I can partition it properly under windows?
[03:39] <usher> cables: wow.. haha weird... I registered 5-10mins ago
[03:40] <cables> usher, and it says the nick is uShEr
[03:40] <cables> usher, looks like you accidentally have someone elses nick
[03:40] <Syntra> Can someone help me install stuff?
[03:40] <Andrew250> atoponce: do you know how I can partition it properly under windows?
[03:40] <usher> cables: weird
[03:40] <cables> usher, use a new one
[03:40] <Syntra> I have no clue what I'm doing.
[03:40] <cables> Syntra, install what?
[03:40] <hdsjdl> why the fuck dont u give a damn?
[03:40] <Syntra> Wormux
[03:40] <usher> cables: it said it was available?
[03:40] <cables> Syntra, you can install most things from Applications>Add/Remove
[03:40] <JensenDied> Andrew250: well if its not the active disk theres some stuff in XP under computer management in the CP
[03:40] <tonyyarusso> !ohmy | hdsjdl
[03:40] <ubotu> hdsjdl: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[03:40] <usher> cables: when was the last time they logged on?
[03:40] <Syntra> Add/Remove programs hates my PC.
[03:40] <cables> usher, lemme see
[03:40] <atoponce> Andrew250: i don't. other than parition magic, which i haven't used in years
[03:40] <ForrestF> Syntra: Sure, What do you want to install
[03:41] <cables> usher, 11 hours ago
[03:41] <atoponce> Andrew250: but, you can use gparted to do it fairly easily
[03:41] <usher> damn
[03:41] <Syntra> Wormux, the game. I got he Tar.GZ
[03:41] <cables> usher, so i don't think it actually worked...
[03:41] <Andrew250> JensenDied: it is an active disk, it's an external harddrive.
[03:41] <cables> usher, you need to find a new nick :)
[03:41] <Syntra> Extracted it to my desktop, and now what?
[03:41] <usher> cables: okay, thanks
[03:41] <ForrestF> Syntra: Well, untar it
[03:41] <cables> Syntra, is there a .sh or .run or just an install script in there?
[03:41] <JensenDied> Andrew250: okay, i meant the one windows is booted from =D
[03:41] <Syntra> I see a thing called Wormux
[03:41] <Syntra> No extention, just called Wormux.
[03:41] <Andrew250> yes
[03:41] <cables> Syntra, right click it > properties
[03:42] <Ruisu> jrib, thanks for the help. i think i can fix this problem. i found a forum post... if i can fix it maybe we can continue trying to install Konversation, Ktorrent, AmaroK. Thanks again
[03:42] <cables> Syntra, go to Permissions, then check off Allow this to be Executed (or whatever it says to that effect)
[03:42] <usher> cables: could that just mean that they didnt register it when they were using it?
[03:42] <cables> Syntra, then close that and double-click the file
[03:42] <JensenDied> Andrew250: Control Panel -> Administrative dealies -> computer management ) there should be some disk management thing there
[03:42] <cables> usher, it WAS registered.
[03:42] <usher> cables: since it let me register it?
[03:42] <cables> usher, 1 year ago
[03:42] <usher> cables: ah
[03:42] <Andrew250> JensenDied: I'm waiting for 7.04 before I install Ubuntu.  I'm just trying to get my HDs ready.
[03:42] <usher> cables: strange
[03:42] <cables> usher, i don't think it did, it just didn't tell you it didn't work...
[03:42] <usher> cablestest: ah
[03:42] <ardchoille> usher: Anyone ca use anyone's nick if the owner isn't using it, they just can't id to nickserv without the password.
[03:43] <Syntra> I dont see anything called Allow to be Executed
[03:43] <atoponce> Andrew250: wait, i want to make sure something
[03:43] <cAbLeS> usher, yeah, I just tested it and case doesn't matter... so the registration obviously didn't work
[03:43] <atoponce> Andrew250: you have a 160GB HDD, and after formatting to ext3, only 148GB is avail?
[03:43] <m_> Does anyone know of an app similar to Google Sidebar for rss news feeds on the desktop?
[03:43] <atoponce> Andrew250: or, 136GB is avail? i'm confused
[03:44] <cables> !gdesklets | m_
[03:44] <ubotu> m_: gDesklets provides an advanced architecture for desktop applets -- tiny displays sitting on your desktop in a symbiotic relationship of eye candy and usefulness. Homepage is http://gdesklets.gnomedesktop.org/
[03:44] <Andrew250> only 136 is free
[03:44] <JensenDied> atoponce: its 136 apparently
[03:44] <ardchoille> m_: I use liferea for rss feeds, not sure how similar it is to google sidebar though.
[03:44] <Andrew250> 12.2 is used up some how.
[03:44] <atoponce> Andrew250: ok. if it was 148GB, i was going to call it normal behavior.  but 136 does seem a bit aggressive
[03:44] <Andrew250> it shows the disk size is 149.05
[03:44] <atoponce> just checking
[03:44] <Andrew250> k
[03:44] <m_> thanks, is I run Kubuntu. will gDesklets work?
[03:44] <Andrew250> yea it's crazy
[03:45] <Andrew250> I want my 12 GBs back
[03:45] <atoponce> :)
[03:45] <atoponce> Andrew250: i don't blame you
[03:45] <ardchoille> m_: If you run kde, you might be interested in superkaramba or karamba, it's much better for kde than gdesklets.
[03:45] <Syntra> Upon looking more, there is a Wormux.Mo
[03:45] <EADG> df -h reports my 80Gb as having 72Gb after formatting in ext3...
[03:45] <Vaske_Car> where does Firefox store TEMP data from visited web sites?
[03:45] <atoponce> EADG: and that's normal
[03:45] <m_> cool, thanks, i'll look into it.
[03:45] <atoponce> EADG: you lost 10% to formatting tables and the journal
[03:46] <EADG> I guess so, never really though about it before.
[03:46] <BarronVon> having trouble and it's not the usual port forwarding on the router problem because bitlord under XP works fine on my router... the question is, why since I installed linux (ubuntu) I can't get above 1 kB/s on upload speeds, and it's trashing my ratios and download speeds
[03:46] <Andrew250> JensenDied: the windows tool is useless.  It doesn't know what file system the drive is.
[03:46] <kuwanger> Under what package is the strftime man page?
[03:46] <Kendreague> This doesn't make any sense now. I just installed to hda10, but setting root as /dev/hda10 gives me a panic
[03:46] <atoponce> EADG: more than that, and you should check your partitions
[03:46] <EADG> Wait.
[03:46] <EADG> Swap file.
[03:46] <JensenDied> andrew250: does it show the partition as taking up the whole dive?
[03:46] <Andrew250> yes
[03:47] <atoponce> EADG: swap shouldn't be taking 12GB, but i guess it's possible
[03:47] <EADG> How big did you make the swap file?
[03:47] <puller> what is the path to edit xorg?
[03:47] <Andrew250> It's online, Healthy (Active)
[03:47] <regeya> EADG: that's normal.  your OS and your HD manufacturer are using different units of measurement...and there could be other things involved, but I've never seen an 80GB drive that actually had 80GB of usable space
[03:47] <puller> whats the path to the xorg in ubuntu?
[03:47] <Syntra> I just remember a command in the terminal to get me into the folders, then I could run stuff.
[03:47] <atoponce> puller: /etc/X11
[03:47] <EADG> regeya: correct.
[03:47] <Syntra> Does anyone know that command?
[03:47] <JensenDied> Andrew250: im not sure whats with it then
[03:47] <ardchoille> Syntra: cd ?
[03:47] <JensenDied> Syntra: cd ./ ls  ?
[03:48] <Syntra> that's probaby it.
[03:48] <Andrew250> JensenDied: Thanks for trying anyways.
[03:48] <Syntra> Thanks! :d
[03:48] <Syntra> *D
[03:48] <usher_> did it work that time?
[03:48] <Syntra> gah, you know what I mean
[03:48] <EADG> hmm, adding it all up, looks like 1.5Gb allocated to other dirs...
[03:48] <usher__>  /msg nickserv link usher_ 62566642
[03:48] <EADG> /var/lock, /var/run, etc
[03:48] <Andrew250> JensenDied: Can you suggest another channel?
[03:49] <Flannel> usher__: you're going to want to change that password.
[03:49] <usher__> why isnt it working
[03:49] <usher__> its no big deal the pw was random anyway
[03:49] <Flannel> usher__: first, registering a whole slew of usernames like that is silly.  But, you're putting a space infront of /msg
[03:49] <JensenDied> use a better pw that isnt all numbers also
[03:50] <usher__> Flannel: I was just doing what the freenode registration page said to do
[03:50] <Flannel> usher__: Eh?  The freenode registration page didn't tell you to register _ __ and ___
[03:51] <Syntra> K, now its saying my file doesnt exist
[03:51] <Kendreague> "VFS: Cannot open root device "hda10" or unknown-block(0,0)"
[03:51] <usher__> Flannel: Yeah, see - #  Register an alternate IRC nick, using the same password. This will ensure that you have a way to get online as a registered user (keeping any cloak you may have) in case your nick becomes frozen (a "ghost"). Many clients will automatically add an underline to your nick at connect time if the nick you specify is unavailable. If you register the underlined nick, it'll help make that process work more smoothly. For example, if your pri
[03:51] <usher__> mary nick is foo, register foo_ as your alternate if you can.
[03:51] <Flannel> usher__: Oh.  You can also give yourself a real alternate.  Doesn't have to be just an appended underscore.
[03:51] <chili5555> Syntra: did u extract to Desktop?
[03:51] <Syntra> I type in cd /home, then cd /syntra, then it says the file doesnt exist
[03:51] <Syntra> Yeah I did.
[03:51] <Flannel> usher__: and, don't paste here.
[03:51] <JensenDied> Kendreague:Why are you booting the 10'th partiton?
[03:52] <Kendreague> because it was the first free space
[03:52] <mike1> opera has crashed in feisty?
[03:52] <cables> usher__, but usher IS NOT YOUR NICK!
[03:52] <Flannel> mike1: #ubuntu+1 for Feisty
[03:52] <cables> usher__, you're basically stealing/impersonating
[03:52] <Kendreague> JensenDied: the first 8 partitions are drivers, 9th partition is another OS
[03:52] <chili5555> Syntra: cd /home/syntra/Desktop
[03:52] <usher__> no Im not? it's my last name!
[03:52] <Kendreague> JensenDied: partition 10 is ubuntu, 11 is swap, 12 is to be another OS
[03:52] <RoundyT1> what program can edit .asp files????
[03:53] <Syntra> still says it doesnt exist.
[03:53] <Flannel> RoundyT1: any text editor
[03:53] <JensenDied> Kendreague: you might like to set up some sort of chainloaded as the primary loader on one of the first 3 partitions of that disk
[03:53] <b_e_n_z> RoundyT1, vi
[03:53] <cables> usher_, no, it's uShEr's nick.
[03:53] <RoundyT1> k thanks
[03:53] <Kendreague> JensenDied: I'm using BootX off the 9th partition. The first 8 are locked, and can't be opened in any way
[03:53] <Flannel> Kendreague: 9th partition is hda9
[03:53] <ubuntu> ubuntu-it
[03:54] <chili5555> Syntra: when you  cd /home/syntra/Desktop and then do ls -l what does it report?
[03:54] <ubuntu> join #ubuntu-it
[03:54] <Flannel> usher_: /join #ubuntu-it
[03:55] <Ghillem> didnt work
[03:55] <nytejade> The startup progress indicator is freezing.  How do I turn on verbose mode so I can see what the problem is?
[03:55] <Ghillem> what if i run the installer?
[03:55] <Ghillem> ubuntu installer...
[03:55] <Syntra> still nothing
[03:55] <aguynamedben> does ubuntu edgy not have module-assistant?  what does this guy mean: youll need the Community APT sources in Ubuntu
[03:55] <w|nE^SparC^> how people use ubuntu ah..
[03:55] <chili5555> Syntra: it reports nothing is in Desktop?
[03:56] <Flannel> nytejade: In grub menu, hit 'e'.  remove the 'quiet' and change the 'splash' to 'nosplash'
[03:56] <Kendreague> Flannel: Yeah, that's what I mean =] 
[03:56] <Ubuntulator> does freenode have a nickserv ?
[03:56] <Syntra> It says "No such file or directory"
[03:56] <aguynamedben> are the "community apt sources" in ubuntu an actual entry in sources.list?  what is it?
[03:56] <JensenDied> Ubuntulator:yes
[03:56] <BarronVon> anyone know anything about how to setup NAT traversal?
[03:57] <dustpyle_x2> hmmmm xchat is strange
[03:57] <chili5555> Syntra: when you cd /home/syntra/Desktop it says "no such...?
[03:57] <Flannel> aguynamedben: universe
[03:57] <rellik> what do I need to install to get the 'mail' program
[03:57] <Syntra> Yeah pretty much
[03:58] <Syntra> Should I try them in a different place maybe?
[03:58] <JensenDied> rellik: any sort of MTA like postfix for example
[03:58] <rellik> JensenDied, I have exim4 installed
[03:59] <JensenDied> rellik: and there is no mail or mailx available in the path?
[03:59] <chili5555> Syntra: cd /home/syntra      thhe do ls -l     what do you see? anything?
[03:59] <rellik> JensenDied, nope
[03:59] <zYe> what is a good cd/dvd burning program?
[03:59] <rellik> zYe, k3b (gui)
[03:59] <ardchoille> zYe: gnomebaker (gnome), k3b (kde)
[03:59] <rellik> zYe, ...or cdrecord (CLI)
[03:59] <nytejade> What does booting in recovery mode do
[04:00] <ardchoille> nytejade: Boots you into a root shell
[04:00] <Madpilot> zYe, for data CDs/DVDs, just use Gnome's file manager (nautilus)
[04:00] <nytejade> ahh ok.  It looks like my startup is freezing at "configuring network devices"
[04:00] <nytejade> What do I do
[04:00] <Syntra> It gives me another command line
[04:00] <nytejade> rather "Configuring Network Interfaces"
[04:00] <chili5555> ls -l
[04:01] <Syntra> Ls or 1s?
[04:01] <chili5555> ls -l
[04:01] <Syntra> yeh, thats what I typed.
[04:02] <Alex_Ketchup> I can't get my laptop to boot from CD ROM so I can't run the installation disc. Can anyone tell me any other way to install it?
[04:02] <Syntra> Wait, do you mean in the same line or seprate lines?
[04:02] <chili5555> Syntra: private message?
[04:02] <ardchoille> Syntra: All one line. "-l" will give you a bash error.
[04:03] <JensenDied> Alex_Ketchup: check the laptops bios for boot options and see if you can see the cd as the primary boot device
[04:03] <Syntra> I tried it in seperate lines, and I got AA, Automatix2.key, Desktop and Examples
[04:03] <Syntra> All on different lines.
[04:04] <ardchoille> Syntra: You're using automatix?
[04:04] <Syntra> I have it, but not using it.
[04:04] <Alex_Ketchup> JensenDied: I tried setting the CD as the primary device but it's not working. I think it's because it's just a USB drive.
[04:04] <chili5555> Syntra: cd Desktop
[04:04] <Joebu[NoR] > anyone have issues installing an nvidia card in a dell desktop?
[04:04] <heath> Joebu: is it a newer dell?
[04:04] <chili5555> Syntra: ls -l    as in ell ess minus ell
[04:04] <Syntra> I think I got something with cd Desktop
[04:04] <JensenDied> Alex_Ketchup: hmm, its a usb connected cd drive? does it support booting from usb?
[04:05] <burner> Joebu[NoR] : did you run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" after you installed it to get proper resolutions again?
[04:05] <slyfox> join #ubuntu
[04:05] <Joebu[NoR] > burner: it wont let me boot at all with the card installed
[04:05] <aguynamedben> flannel, thanks
[04:05] <aguynamedben> is module-assistant no longer in ubuntu?
[04:05] <burner> Joebu[NoR] : you can get to a term.. use ctrl+alt+f1
[04:06] <Joebu[NoR] > burner: I'll try that.  when do I hit ctrl+alt+f1?
[04:06] <Alex_Ketchup> JensenDied: The boot priority says CD-ROM>LAN>FDD>HDD. I know it's a dumb question, but is LAN what you mean?
[04:06] <JensenDied> joebu: dont forget that f7 gets back to the desktop
[04:06] <burner> Joebu[NoR] : after it's booted... you won't have a GUI display since it has no driver
[04:07] <bitmess> Can I use an RPM in Ubuntu?
[04:07] <ardchoille> bitmess: no
[04:07] <slyfox> Does anyone have Ubuntu 7.04 beta and uses wired network and wireless too? I have Ubuntu 7.04 beta with all latest updates and I switched from wired to wireless network today and then just now want to go back to hte wired network, i plug in the network cable but the wired connection does not get highlighted in the network manager, I cannot connect to my wired network. Help.
[04:07] <JensenDied> Alex_Ketchup: LAN is for a network boot
[04:07] <Joebu[NoR] > burner: it doesn't boot with the card in.  it freezes at the ubuntu splash screen
[04:07] <Alex_Ketchup> JensenDied: Ahh :\ I guess it can't, then.
[04:07] <burner> Joebu[NoR] : try the "recovery" kernel
[04:07] <Joebu[NoR] > burner:  tried that, I get nothing, freezes after a minute or so
[04:07] <JensenDied> Alex_Ketchup: There do you have a floppy drive that will work?

[04:08] <chili5555> slyfox: network-manager is in development in feisty. try sudo dhclient eth0
[04:09] <Joebu[NoR] > burner:  I will try that
[04:09] <Alex_Ketchup> JensenDied: No, it's pretty basic. It had a docking station but it's gone. That's why my parents gave it to me :P
[04:09] <Ruisu> jrib: still around?
[04:09] <jrib> Ruisu: yeah

[04:18] <Vode> How do I change the default program for video playback to VLC from Totem?
[04:18] <rml> newbie here -- just spent 2 hours trying to get a new sound card driver for window xp -- gave up and rebooted to my ubuntu partition to load the driver there -- ubuntu found the driver before it even finished booting up -- heard the ubuntu start-up sound for the first time -- nice
[04:19] <rfcompte> ardchoille: mmm... music files compressed, it's a lossles format
[04:19] <jrib> Ruisu: no sweat, that's why I idle here.  pastebin this command and then I'll pastebin what my permissions look like for the files this command lists on your system: ls /usr/bin
[04:19] <ardchoille> rfcompte: Did you see what linux1_ said?
[04:19] <linux1_> rfcompte: i would think vlc would play ape
[04:20] <rfcompte> yes you are right, i didn't think about that option
[04:20] <rfcompte> thanx linux1
[04:20] <Puppy_> linux1 I checked I think it does not. :(
[04:20] <linux1_> yw
[04:20] <JensenDied> anyone know how to get unicode characters to display instead of being a box with the numbers in them?
[04:20] <Ruisu> jrib: it appears that there are too many to display on the terminal window
[04:20] <Ruisu> anyway to split it up?
[04:20] <Kendreague> How do I create an "Apple_Bootstrap" partition during the Install?
[04:20] <Puppy_> linux1, http://www.videolan.org/vlc/features.html
[04:21] <Joebu[NoR] > burner: burner: all it mounted was hda1, which only lists the kernels
[04:21] <JensenDied> Ruisu: you can redirced to a file > ~/Desktop/filename
[04:21] <kaitrek> Anyone know why right after a fresh install, after Grub begins loading ubuntu-server edition, 0.5 seconds after the computer restarts and it loops all over again?
[04:21] <ardchoille> Ruisu: ls /usr/bin > ~/Desktop/output   Then go to the desktop and open the "output" file.
[04:21] <Puppy_> or rather rfcompte: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/features.html
[04:22] <linux1_> Puppy_:http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/31
[04:22] <Ruisu> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14137/ i apologize
[04:23] <Puppy_> sorry, i meant for rfcompte.
[04:23] <x_bunux> need some help please... | i can hear gnome system sounds but i cant hear any sounds from iceweasel/firefox. ideas?
[04:23] <burner> Joebu[NoR] : still there?
[04:23] <linux1_> np
[04:23] <jrib> Ruisu: you have /usr/bin/[ ?
[04:23] <shawn_selig29> hi
[04:23] <Vode> Anyone able to tell me how to change the default program for video playback, or is it impossible?
[04:23] <rfcompte> thanx i'm on it
[04:23] <shawn_selig29> i have a couple hardware questions
[04:23] <Ruisu> i guess :p
[04:23] <Ruisu> yup
[04:23] <buu> What package is aclocal hiding in?
[04:24] <otakumark> I need to search my filesystem for /.wine/, however whenever I try to use Search it doesn't find anything, even files that I can see. I think this might be because of priviledges, so how on earth do I sudo-search this drive??
[04:24] <Joebu[NoR] > burner: yep
[04:24] <jrib> Ruisu: dpkg -S /usr/bin/[    I'm curious what that belongs to
[04:24] <Joebu[NoR] > burner: found pci busid
[04:24] <shawn_selig29> i got a dell Emuzed Angel Dual TV Tuner PCI Card /...wonder if it will work in linux
[04:24] <ps3userftw> are we allowed to ask for help on installing emulators here?
[04:24] <Ruisu> lol its says its not found
[04:25] <EADG> Vode: Look under 'settings' in your file browser... If you are running KDE lemme know. Not familiar with Gnome.
[04:25] <Arrick> hi all
[04:25] <Ruisu> ack.. i cant forget to nickalert
[04:25] <Brylie> can I run DSmallLinux from within Ubuntu?
[04:25] <jrib> Ruisu: how about dpkg -S /usr/bin/\[
[04:25] <bur[n] er> Brylie: sure... check out virtualbox or vmware or qemu
[04:25] <Arrick> hey, quick question. Does "sudo chown /var/www/www.blah.org/*" change the permissions on *every* file and directory under it?
[04:25] <ardchoille> jrib: It's an executable, belongs to root but dpkg -S /usr/bin/[ has nothing for it.
[04:25] <derek01> i cant get my computer to boot from cd
[04:26] <Brylie> thanks bur[n] er
[04:26] <derek01> im so frustrated
[04:26] <Arrick> if not, how do I do it?
[04:26] <Ruisu> jrib: still has nothing. not found
[04:26] <bur[n] er> Arrick: chown -R does
[04:26] <jrib> ardchoille: hmm ok, thanks
[04:26] <ardchoille> jrib: Do you get anything from: file /usr/bin/[
[04:26] <Arrick> bur[n] er, just put that into the syntax?
[04:26] <derek01> my cd is working but still wont boot
[04:26] <bur[n] er> Arrick: yes... "man chown" for more info
[04:26] <Madpilot> Arrick, "sudo chown -R /blah/blah/*'
[04:26] <Vode> Bam. I think I have it now, thanks EADG
[04:26] <Arrick> thanks
[04:26] <bur[n] er> Arrick: Madpilot:  the * is unnecessary
[04:26] <EADG> n/p :)
[04:26] <Arrick> hey Madpilot how are you?
[04:27] <rfcompte> vlc doesn't play .ape
[04:27] <Odditie> Anyone here familiar with Cedega? I'm having problems installing it.
[04:27] <rfcompte> but i'm on it
[04:27] <Arrick> bur[n] er, not true, I dont have permissions on a dir in that folder, and I already did the chown on it
[04:27] <Arrick> (the last time I asked this question)
[04:27] <mon^rch> rfcompte: lemmee know if you get a proggie to run .ape files :)
[04:27] <Odditie> I would use Wine, but City of heroes won't play on it. I checked the cedega IRC, but no one is talking there
[04:28] <ps3userftw> snes9x
[04:28] <Brylie> bur[n] er: Do you recommend any of those [virtualbox or vmware or qemu]  for Ubuntu environment?
[04:28] <rfcompte> mon rch: it'll let you know
[04:29] <bur[n] er> Brylie: i like virtualbox the best
[04:29] <Arrick> thanks
[04:29] <jrib> ardchoille: no
[04:29] <ardchoille> jrib: I have that file and I'm now curious as to what it is.
[04:30] <Odditie> Anyways, its a .deb file, but it won't let me open it because its a package file. It says something about renaming it to a "plain text file", but I'm still new to this ubuntu thing and don't know what "plain text file" is
[04:30] <scotchi> .
[04:30] <jrib> ardchoille: oh wait, me too
[04:30] <ardchoille> jrib: Other Ubuntu users I am chatting with also have it.
[04:30] <rellik> how come when I try to 'telnet 66.249.83.27 25' it times out (that's gmail's SMTP server)..  but when I try from another computer it works fine..  I've traced my postfix error down to this, but have no idea why outbound traffic seems to be being filtered...?
[04:30] <linux1_> best way to learn how to trouble shoot linux is copy and paste error messages in google search, at least that work s for me
[04:30] <bur[n] er> Odditie: you install .deb files with gdebi
[04:30] <ardchoille> May be normal for Ubuntu
[04:31] <newlaptop> how do i get rfmon enabled for my wireless drivers in ubuntu?  do i have to build them from kernel source?
[04:31] <Odditie> bu[n] er: gdebi is whats giving me this error messege
[04:32] <ardchoille> jrib: I think it's test, as in "if [ blah ] ; then...." /usr/bin/test?
[04:32] <linux1_> Odditie: perhaps the file is corrupt
[04:32] <Ruisu> ever since i have switched to linux.. i have been much happier.. sure there are a few things to learn... but i believe its totally worth it
[04:32] <Rio79> sorry, newbie pc question.  i have a system where the video is integrated with the motherboard.  the system also has 1gb memory.  i recently added another video card because i wanted svideo output, where the integrated memory is 256.  now the system seems slower.  am i just missing drivers or does that seem normal
[04:32] <Rio79> ?
[04:32] <ice> how do you register a nick ? "/msg nickserv register <your-password>"? what so you do?
[04:33] <jrib> Ruisu: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14139/
[04:33] <Odditie> linux1_: Thats what I was thinking, but I got it from the official site, and tried downloading it a couple times, but get the same messege everytime
[04:33] <bur[n] er> Rio79: what's the new card?
[04:34] <black9ice> Rio79: I would say drivers, or it is not setup in X properly
[04:34] <dStumbler> Is there a way to create an install disc containing my complete current set-up?  If so, can someone direct me to the wiki??
[04:34] <bur[n] er> dStumbler: not easily
[04:34] <shiv_j> sure
[04:34] <linux1_> Odditie: which ap is it?
[04:34] <shiv_j> search mklivecd and pclos
[04:35] <shiv_j> oops
[04:35] <dStumbler> is it that bad?
[04:35] <shiv_j> wrong channel
[04:35] <Rio79> bur[n] er> the new card is nx6200ax
[04:35] <Odditie> linux1_: cedega-small_5.2.3_all.deb
[04:35] <ardchoille> dStumbler: Lots of folks have said that Reconstructor works for that.
[04:35] <ardchoille> !reconstructor
[04:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about reconstructor - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:35] <linux1_> never could get mklivecd to work
[04:35] <otakumark> I need to search my filesystem for /.wine/, however whenever I try to use Search it doesn't find anything, even files that I can see. I think this might be because of priviledges, so how on earth do I sudo-search this drive?
[04:35] <bur[n] er> Rio79: wtf is that?  nvidia? ati? intel?
[04:35] <newlaptop> so, rfmon enabled drivers for orinoco and cisco aironet cards?  build from kernel source, or is there some apt-get trickery to pull somebody else's compiled drivers out of thin air and automagically install them?
[04:35] <linux1_> Odditie: cedega is proprietary isnt it?
[04:36] <Rio79> black9ice> well, how would i know if i had a proper setup.  i assumed that "sudo apt-get upgrade" and install.....
[04:36] <QRZ> otakumark: sudo updatedb && locate *.wine
[04:36] <black9ice> dStumbler: if you have a spare drive you could always revert to using dd command, in theroy, I think
[04:36] <Rio79> bur[n] er> nvidez
[04:36] <bur[n] er> Rio79: u get the nvidia-glx package?
[04:36] <linux1_> some deb packages will work on debian but not on ubuntu me thinks
[04:36] <Odditie> linux1_: Yes it is. Its the only one that will run my game. I registered and paid for it, just can't get the install package to open :(
[04:36] <Rio79> uhh.... i guess i would need to do that
[04:37] <linux1_> was it specificall made for ubuntu: Odditie?
[04:37] <bur[n] er> Odditie: ask them for support :)  you bought it
[04:37] <ardchoille> linux1_: Correct, which is why it's a bad idea to use debian .deb's in Ubuntu
[04:37] <Rio79> nvidia-glx package?
[04:37] <Jach1> Does anyone know a place to get a cheap motherboard?
[04:37] <_wraith_> Odditie, you need to run "sudo dpkg -i filename.deb"
[04:37] <dStumbler> I'm dual booting and I have about 100 gigs to spare on the other side, how does a partition sound?
[04:37] <otakumark> Awesome, thank you QRZ
[04:37] <dStumbler> just slap an image on the partition?
[04:37] <QRZ> otakumark: welcome
[04:37] <jrib> ardchoille: well it seems to be in the coreutils package
[04:38] <ardchoille> jrib: Ah, ok, so nothing to worry about then.
[04:38] <bur[n] er> dStumbler: not a bad plan
[04:38] <ardchoille> jrib: Thanks for investigating that.
[04:38] <newlaptop> i'm assuming that since nobody has spoken up about rfmon kernel modules that you can install with apt, how do i install kernel source, or can i just use vanilla sources?
[04:38] <linux1_> Odditie: check with cedega support on this one i think
[04:38] <dStumbler> not that I have that much installed that I can't have it all back in a day..  but still
[04:38] <mr-russ> I'm using edgy and attempting to find a php5 library.  libphp5.so or libphp5.a  are they available at all, I can't find them in any packages.
[04:38] <dStumbler> just the principle
[04:38] <black9ice> dStumbler: my understanding of dd is it will make an image of a disk, maybe even a partition, just look at the wiki or google it  ;)
[04:38] <dStumbler> sp*
[04:38] <dStumbler> yeah, already there
[04:38] <aoirthoir> dStumbler: there is something called aptoncd
[04:38] <bur[n] er> dStumbler: or run "dpkg -l" to list all your installed packages
[04:38] <aoirthoir> you might want to check that out
[04:38] <jrib> ardchoille: it's what you said, it even has a man page :)
[04:39] <Odditie> Its what I'm gonna have to do. trying to run sudo dkpg comes up with errors too
[04:39] <aoirthoir> dd will make any image of almost anything
[04:39] <ardchoille> jrib: weird name for such an important file, though.
[04:39] <adayah> hello.  I've been searching the net tonight....i have an original airport card in an ibook tangerine
[04:39] <aoirthoir> you can use it to make an image of a cd, or dvd (doesnt seem to work too well with dual layer though)
[04:39] <Odditie> Just figured I would check with some live help first, was hoping the Cedega IRC was more lively
[04:39] <Ruisu> jrib: okay thanks! im gonna be here for a while but i have to correct this... if you need me just yell :p
[04:39] <adayah> running ubuntu 5.1...
[04:39] <CarlFK> how can I cp a file from a bad dvd and ignore errors ?  (without using dd - not enough space)
[04:39] <_wraith_> Odditie, where is the file?
[04:39] <linux1_> Odditie: semper fi and good luck
[04:39] <adayah> any docs out there on getting auto network detection and scanning
[04:39] <adayah> tried wifiradar
[04:39] <bur[n] er> CarlFK: use nautilus and auto-skip?
[04:39] <adayah> no luck
[04:40] <Odditie> _wraith_: Its on the desktop
[04:40] <_wraith_> Odditie, cd tothe/dir/where/the/file/is/first then run sudo dpkg-i name_of.deb
[04:40] <jrib> Ruisu: sure, you can weed out all of the ones that are root:root pretty quickly.  There shouldn't be too much left after that
[04:40] <CarlFK> bur[n] er: how do I set autoskip?

[04:40] <bur[n] er> CarlFK: it will prompt on first failure if i recall
[04:40] <CarlFK> ill give it a shot - thanks
[04:40] <Puppy_> I am using chatzilla 0.9.78 and whenever I scroll up it takes a long time for it to load. I am using a very new computer, so it is not like it has a very old graphics card. Does anyone know why this is happening?
[04:41] <_wraith_> Odditie, open a terminal, type cd Desktop/  then type; sudo dpkg nameofdebfile.deb
[04:41] <bur[n] er> Puppy_: nvidia?  you have the binary drivers installed?
[04:41] <_wraith_> errr
[04:41] <_wraith_> sudo dpkg -i
[04:42] <Puppy_> I did not install Ubuntu, my computer store did. So I don't really know.
[04:42] <rellik> how come when I try to 'telnet 66.249.83.27 25' it times out (that's gmail's SMTP server)..  but when I try from another computer it works fine..  I've traced my postfix error down to this, but have no idea why outbound traffic seems to be being filtered...?
[04:42] <Odditie> Trying it now Wraith
[04:42] <Kazol> does anyone here know how to sync to a pda? I just installed pilot-link from Synaptic, what should I do next?
[04:42] <bur[n] er> Puppy_: run "lspci"  do you even have an nvidia card?
[04:42] <newlaptop> so, how do i get kernel sources, or do i just download them from kernel.org?
[04:42] <Puppy_> yes, I have a nvidia card.
[04:42] <adayah> I'm running ubuntu breezy badger with an original airport card (rebranded lucent wavelan bronze) trying to get auto network detection to work
[04:42] <bur[n] er> Puppy_: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[04:43] <adayah> tried wifiradar but scanning doesn't work
[04:43] <Epic720> can anyone help me with the install of jinzora?
[04:43] <Odditie> _wraith_: Still come up with an unexpected error
[04:43] <bur[n] er> adayah: breezy isn't suported
[04:43] <_wraith_> what does the error say?
[04:43] <Odditie> dpkg-deb: unexpected end of file in version number in cedega-small_5.2.3_all.deb
[04:43] <Kazol> what should I do next after installing pilot-link from Synaptic to sync my pda?

[04:43] <KurtKraut> How can I remove a broken package ?
[04:43] <Puppy_> bur[n] er, can I pm?
[04:43] <bur[n] er> Puppy_: sure
[04:44] <Gajin88> wow alot of people here

[04:44] <Epic720> can anyone help me with the install of jinzora?
[04:44] <bur[n] er> KurtKraut: same way you remove a functioning packages
[04:44] <_wraith_> Odditie, you're going to have to go to cedega support for that
[04:44] <KurtKraut> bur[n] er, it does not work. The script for removal brakes
[04:44] <Gajin88> I'm looking for some help with my wireless card in ubuntu 6.10 - anyone have a minute to share their brains? :)
[04:44] <Kazol> Has anyone here connected a PDA to Ubuntu??
[04:44] <Odditie> _wraith_: Thank you for trying Wraith, still learning this stuff.
[04:44] <bur[n] er> KurtKraut: sudo apt-get remove --force-all ?
[04:44] <KurtKraut> bur[n] er, even with aptitude purge... it prompts an error an leave the package broken. I have to somehow FORCE the removel
[04:44] <_wraith_> no problem, good luck with it
[04:44] <KurtKraut> bur[n] er, let me try this command
[04:44] <bur[n] er> Kazol: palms... my windows mobile 5 doesn't work
[04:45] <bruenig> KurtKraut, what error does it return when you apt-get remove
[04:45] <anname> hi, i just installed ubuntu and what to allow it to share folders with my mac osx laptop
[04:45] <_wraith_> !weather 29588
[04:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about weather 29588 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:46] <Pelo> anname,   I beleive you will need to install samba to do that
[04:46] <anname> i clicked on share folder, but it is asking me how to allow other computers access and i am not sure
[04:46] <_wraith_> wrong channel and network for that matter :P
[04:46] <anname> Pelo, it is installed
[04:47] <KurtKraut> bur[n] er, this command does not exists
[04:47] <bruenig> KurtKraut, what is the package
[04:47] <KurtKraut> bruenig, it says that the post-installation script has returned the code 1
[04:47] <Gajin88> Any wifi card whizzes in here? =S

[04:48] <KurtKraut> bruenig, any suggestions ?
[04:48] <bruenig> KurtKraut, yeah, let me download it and look at it

[04:48] <ps3userftw> if anyone could help me install a snes9x emulator for my ps3linux(kubuntu) plz send a pm
[04:48] <DesertEagle> hello again all
[04:48] <KurtKraut> bruenig, thanks a lot.
[04:49] <DesertEagle> there's a ps3 emu for linux? O_O
[04:49] <Kendreague> Source code can be compiled on any architecture, right?
[04:49] <ps3userftw> no
[04:49] <ps3userftw> im trying to run a snes emulator on kubuntu which is installed on my ps3
[04:49] <Jach1> Try ZSNES?
[04:50] <ps3userftw> i have snes9x because its the only ppc compatible snes emu i think
[04:50] <bruenig> KurtKraut, you are trying to install or remove? why would post-installation script matter if you are removing?
[04:50] <CarlFK> bur[n] er: i got "error... continue? (cancel) (retry)" - no skip
[04:51] <black9ice> ps3userftw: I think your problem may be you are on a PS3 <snickers>
[04:51] <KurtKraut> bruenig, I'm trying to remove
[04:51] <bur[n] er> bummer... sorry CarlFK :\
[04:51] <EADG> ps3userftw: Load onto sd card, install from there (or run snes from sd card)
[04:51] <KurtKraut> bruenig, the post-installation script is somehow called when I do a remove or purge.
[04:52] <dStumbler> I see, so basically..  reconstructo is great for customization unless you know a lil about creating modules and shell scripting..  believe I better pass on that for now. Thanks for the info..
[04:53] <nikkelitous> Hello!
[04:53] <lineman60> helllo
[04:53] <lineman60> good bye?
[04:54] <CarlFK> bur[n] er: I think "retry" must mean "yes' - cuz the file keeps getting bigger
[04:54] <nikkelitous> I'm looking for a way to have my computer load all the E-mail from my multiple pop accounts and then let any number of pop mail viewers access the messages.  Similar to a cache for my E-mail.
[04:54] <nikkelitous> Any ideas on how to do that?
[04:55] <Pelo> nikkelitous,  try the forum
[04:55] <Pelo> dStumbler,  can you give me a link to that reconstructo app , please ?
[04:55] <dStumbler> reconstructor (that was my oops)
[04:56] <dStumbler> http://reconstructor.aperantis.com/
[04:56] <nikkelitous> Pelo: I have, but not really sure what to search for.  Tried pop cache and pop proxy but neither gave me good results.
[04:56] <Pelo> thank you
[04:56] <Pelo> nikkelitous,   I,m not sure what you should search for either,  in fact I am not sure what you mean to do
[04:57] <Pelo> sorry about that
[04:57] <bagh> anyone know of any issue where installing ubuntu breaks both vista and ubuntu's booting?
[04:57] <icecruncher> hi, acn anyone tell me how to add an coommand at boot
[04:58] <bruenig> KurtKraut, ok, try this, sudo sed -i.backup 's/^/#/g' /var/lib/dpkg/info/mldonkey-server.postinst && sudo apt-get remove mldonkey-server
[04:58] <Pelo> bagh,  look for vista in the forum, I know there is an issue with grub,  vista won,t allow other boot loaders or someting off the bat,

[04:58] <Prez_> someone got a laptop with an intel soundcard using the snd_hda_intel module?   the only thing that fails on my edgy setup is sound after resume from hibernate
[04:58] <KurtKraut> bruenig, thanks for the help, but I just managed to fix the problem thru this: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mldonkey/+bug/42847

[04:59] <Tube|> is fvwm a session manager?
[04:59] <nikkelitous> Pelo: I have 3 pop accounts that I check with my E-mail program.  I want to continue to use that program, however, I want a way to access it away from my computer as well.  This has been problematical because my e-mail accounts only allow a very small amount of messages to be kept on the server meaning I have to manually delete them after a time.  I want a program that accesses and deletes all the E-mails from those pop accounts and th
[04:59] <nikkelitous> en sets itself up as a pop server (webmail optional) so I can also get the messages from an external souce.
[04:59] <bruenig> oh wow, it has a similar solution, editing the scripts
[05:00] <bruenig> although it edits prerm
[05:00] <bagh> do you know really quick if formatting ubuntu would fix the problem? i'm actually installing xp over it right now
[05:00] <icecruncher> Pelo: thanks
[05:00] <Pelo> nikkelitous,   woudln'T remote desktop be a simpler solution ?
[05:01] <Gajin88> why can't i run "sudo ./unload    #Error" in terminal
[05:01] <Pelo> bagh,   I don'T   I know it can be fixed but I ahven'T  had to do it,  I am sure there is a howto in the forum
[05:01] <True_TBird> if I do apt-get clamav in terminal will clamav be installed?
[05:01] <nikkelitous> Pelo: Not really, because I need to access E-mails rapidly and on computers I don't want to install vnc to.
[05:01] <bagh> alright thanks.
[05:01] <Pelo> nikkelitous,  search for remote access to "whatever your email app is "
[05:02] <nikkelitous> Pelo: That's not ideal, but if I have to do that, I might.
[05:03] <True_TBird> Can someone help me?
[05:03] <nikkelitous> I also want the cache for other reasons.
[05:03] <Pelo> nikkelitous,  you could also get a gmail account ( with unlimited serverspace) and have it retreive your emails form other accounts,  and then view it there

[05:05] <True_TBird> If I type "apt-get clamav" in terminal Clam A/V should be installed correct?

[05:06] <roostishaw> can I ask about gpg in here?
[05:06] <Organizm> maybe i do.  wine isn't cooperating with fun games like morrowind
[05:07] <QRZ> True_TBird: I think you want, "sudo apt-get install <package_nme>"
[05:07] <Organizm> yes.  but you can't ask about asking questions... supposedly.
[05:07] <Pelo> True_TBird,  install it using synaptic
[05:07] <richw> Hello, If I use a beta release of Feisty.. can I upgrade to stable when it comes out later this month?
[05:07] <EADG> True_TBird: 'sudo apt-get install <program name>
[05:07] <alpopel> i have never had wine installed.. sry. :(
[05:07] <Pelo> richw, yes
[05:08] <True_TBird> and then once it is installed it will show up in the top bar right?
[05:08] <richw> Also, Where can I find instructions to upgrade Edgy to Feisty Beta?
[05:08] <Kendreague> How long does "Configuring Hardware" need to go for on Edgy? It's sitting at 94% now, and my CD-Drive just spun down. Is it safe to assume that it's crashed?
[05:08] <nikkelitous> bur[n] er: Can you set up dovecot to automatically check an existing pop address?
[05:08] <roostishaw> ok then, here's the question: is the password that I use to protect my private key EVER revealed to anyone (unless I tell them, obviously)?
[05:08] <Pelo> True_TBird,  you want clamtk which is the gui interface
[05:08] <Kendreague> erg nevermind, there it goes
[05:09] <Pelo> Kendreague,  patience is a virtue
[05:09] <eGhost> whats a good program for burning isos?
[05:09] <Kendreague> It always makes me look stupid haha. But now it HAS crashed, it tells me so
[05:09] <yell0w> eGhost, right click, burn ?
[05:09] <Pelo> eGhost, gnomebaker or k3b
[05:09] <Kendreague> the YaBoot installer failed.
[05:10] <seravitae> hey, firefox on windows if you hit backspace it goes back a page, whats the shortcut for that in firefox under linux?
[05:10] <bur[n] er> nikkelitous: kind of... you set fetchmail to grab your pop accounts and deliver them to your mbox or maildir files
[05:10] <seravitae> it just goes to the top of the page which is really annoying
[05:10] <richw> Kendreague: File a bug report..
[05:10] <nikkelitous> bur[n] er: Any guides for that or should I just `man` it?
[05:10] <EADG> seravitae: alt+left arrow
[05:10] <Pelo> seravitae,  try ctrl bacsp or  alt backsp or shift backsp
[05:10] <syberdave> is there a kernel parameter you can pass to have ubuntu not load X?
[05:11] <Kendreague> richw: It's technically not meant to be running on my system, I think I'll leave one of those alone
[05:11] <seravitae> alt+left works, thanks
[05:11] <bur[n] er> nikkelitous: man & google are good bets... if you feel inspired... create a wiki page (if it doesn't exist)
[05:11] <dStumbler> richw, here's a gui way:  http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2007/03/upgrade-ubuntu-610-edgy-eft-to-ubuntu.html
[05:11] <dStumbler> command is easier
[05:11] <nikkelitous> bur[n] er: TY
[05:11] <richw> dStumbler: Oh thank you so much <3
[05:11] <dStumbler> just can't remeber exactly how the command was worded

[05:12] <eGhost> this thing burns slow as hell
[05:12] <Bonez56> good morning all
[05:12] <alpopel> good evening would be better to me :D
[05:12] <richw> Im off to get Feisty woohoo :)
[05:13] <mon^rch> yummy feisty
[05:13] <alpopel> just do it! the best i have ever tasted
[05:13] <True_TBird> Pelo: if I do "sudo apt-get clamtk"  then I will be able to select Clam A/V from the top and it will run?
[05:13] <Pelo> from the menu , yes
[05:13] <True_TBird> thank you very much
[05:14] <jrib> roostishaw: only if you tell them
[05:14] <dStumbler> he's gone now... but the command line was on that page as well

[05:15] <eGhost> whats the fastest way to find a wireless broadcom driver?
[05:15] <sparr> how can i downgrade a package?
[05:15] <bruenig> !pinning
[05:15] <ubotu> pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
[05:15] <Kendreague> How does one go about SSH'ing to a Mac OS X computer?
[05:15] <firefoxman_> !wiki
[05:15] <ubotu> wiki is http://wiki.ubuntu.com - Loads of user-contributed documentation
[05:16] <Kendreague> I tried SSH IP, but it asks for a password without asking for a username
[05:16] <firefoxman_> !wikipedia
[05:16] <ubotu> wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia, you can find it at http://wikipedia.org
[05:16] <Kendreague> nevermind, I got it.
[05:17] <sparr> bruenig: for the record, what i was looking for (and found) was apt-get install package/oldrelease
[05:17] <bruenig> sparr, ok and next time updates come, I am sure you will be happy to upgrade it, since you apparently don't want to pin that version
[05:19] <sparr> bruenig: that is correct, i absolutely dont want to pin that version
[05:19] <sparr> bruenig: i want any version other than the current one, the newer the better.
[05:20] <bruenig> sparr, well once you install the old one, and cron runs updates, it will bug you to install the current one
[05:20] <sparr> cron runs updates?
[05:20] <foxiness> what i need to add to ubuntu to let app like virtualbox install/work 'model/kernel'?
[05:20] <bruenig> sparr, yes, you know that annoying orange thing that pops up when you have updates
[05:20] <smr> Anyone here know about why Feisty crashes during ubiquity after continuing after partition settings?
[05:20] <sparr> i turned that off
[05:21] <sparr> smr: #ubuntu+1
[05:21] <bruenig> sparr, well don't sudo apt-get upgrade then,
[05:21] <smr> thanks
[05:21] <sparr> unfortunately, it seems like an older release's version is TOO old
[05:21] <foxiness> A music messaging session has been requested. Please click the MM icon to accept.
[05:22] <sparr> where can i find 'obsolete' packages for an active release?
[05:22] <GaiaX11> smr: Feity is not stable yet :-)
[05:22] <GaiaX11> smr: Feisty is not stable yet :-)
[05:23] <Kendreague> how can I make my initrd.img file visible to copy it?
[05:24] <Pelo> Kendreague, crtl+h ?
[05:24] <Pelo> Kendreague,  or do you mean sudo cp ...
[05:24] <Kendreague> Ah great. ctrl H worked.
[05:24] <Kendreague> No, because I need to send the file over the network
[05:25] <Odditie> _wraith_: I got Cedega installed, had to download the .tgz files and use them, but now I have the files on my desktop on accident, gotta delete them now
[05:26] <smr> GaiaX11: Does "not stable" mean "not working," or "haven't quite decided which packages we'll include?"
[05:27] <Pelo> off topic,   does anyone else think demonoid has been getting a lot of maintenance the past few days ?
[05:27] <GaiaX11> smr. No, it means that some packages are still buggy
[05:27] <Odditie> Alright, my last dumb question for the night. Any way to delete files from the terminal? its not letting me select and delete them.
[05:27] <bruenig> why would they need to maintain such a flawless design :D
[05:28] <PanzerMKZ> Odditie: RM
[05:28] <bruenig> Odditie, rm file
[05:28] <Pelo> Odditie,  http://www.linuxcommand.org/index.php
[05:28] <smr> GaiaX11: ubiquity is the installer :(
[05:28] <PanzerMKZ> oh yea teach him to fish then
[05:28] <tonyyarusso> Erm, something just happened and now all of my input in X (Gnome and XFCE) is screwy like this:      .  What happened?  (typing from terminal now)
[05:28] <Odditie> Thank you guys. thats my last dumb question before I pass out
[05:29] <Pelo> tonyyarusso,  looks like hebrew to me,   you might want to check you language support settings
[05:29] <denys> hey. I've had Windows Vista for a few weeks, and now I installed Ubuntu. But now it won't boot into windows. Probably not the right forum, but any advice welcome (btw, ubuntu runs fine!). Grub menu comes up, but when I select the Vista option, I get the microsoft progress bar which just goes on and on.
[05:29] <abasinisvacant> i use ubuntu, how can i also use shockwave?
[05:29] <abasinisvacant> (or a similar program)
[05:30] <colbert> How do I get wget to download a file to the Desktop ?
[05:30] <GaiaX11> smr Do you know if it crashes in all the machines or just crashes in your machine?
[05:30] <Pelo> denys,   check the forum,  I know there is an issue with grub booting vista,   you should be able to find a fix in there
[05:30] <Pelo> abasinisvacant, http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html
[05:31] <Prez_> someone got a laptop with an intel soundcard using the snd_hda_intel module?   the only thing that fails on my edgy setup is sound after resume from hibernate
[05:31] <smr> GaiaX11: I don't know. It seems that others do have the problem. I know that Feisty is the first version where the partitioner is included in ubiquity, instead of using gnome partition manager
[05:31] <Pelo> Prez_,  I know there are issues with hibernate with a lot of distros,  check the forum for a fix
[05:31] <bruenig> colbert, cd ~/Desktop and then wget whatever
[05:32] <bruenig> colbert, or I think you can do "wget whatever -O ~/Desktop
[05:32] <colbert> bruenig: right lol shoulda guessed that
[05:32] <colbert> bruenig: ah ok
[05:32] <eternal_p> good evenig all..i just updated my kernel to 2.6.20 everything is good, but...I had qemu installed before and I dont know if I am using qemu that i downloaded or the one from the kernel...waht verion is the kernel version, or how do I setup..thanks!
[05:32] <smr> GaiaX11: I can see how there could be some bugs. At first I thought it was the gnome volume manager thingy that automounts. I thought it was automounting before ubiquity could format, causing a crash. I disable it and it doesn't make a difference
[05:32] <GaiaX11> smr Are you installing with the cd or through the net?
[05:32] <smr> CD
[05:32] <bruenig> !kernel
[05:32] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[05:33] <smr> I'm running the liveCD right now, actually
[05:33] <bruenig> some factoid used to say that we didn't supported self compiled kernels, I forgot what it was
[05:33] <GaiaX11> smr Have you tried the alternate?
[05:33] <eternal_p> i figured it can't hurt to help, considering 7.04 has it built in...
[05:33] <bruenig> s/supported/support/
[05:33] <Pelo> we shoudlnT' be supporting a lot of things
[05:33] <eternal_p> can't hurt to try*
[05:33] <smr> I don't know about an alternate
[05:34] <bruenig> !alternate | smr
[05:34] <ubotu> smr: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[05:34] <denys> i've searched for it over and over, but i cant find a fix for this exact situation. In many cases there is no windows in the grub many, so people add it manually. In my case, it is already there, but when I try to boot it, it freezes up... i saw alot of posts about this, but i dont think anybody found a sure way to fix this?
[05:34] <smr> Oh
[05:34] <Pelo> denys,   is your windows install on a diferent drive ?
[05:34] <colbert> bruenig: I found it, it's wget -P ~/Desktop <url>
[05:35] <smr> Let me suche it real quick...
[05:35] <denys> yes
[05:35] <bruenig> so many grep switches, I get them confused
[05:35] <Pelo> denys,  pm ?
[05:35] <GaiaX11> smr try the alternate. When I install ubuntu in a machine I always prefer the alternate :-)
[05:35] <bruenig> reading that man page is nearly as bad as reading mencoder
[05:35] <smr> I would as well. I didn't know it existed
[05:35] <succeeddesigns> Hello, Ive been running ubuntu for a week or so and have noticed a slowness with just about anything menu related,  Im running 64bit ubuntu on a Dv8000, which has a ml-32 turion 64bit proc, could it be that im using a 64bit version?
[05:35] <Kendreague> What is the difference between the Alternate CD and the normal?
[05:35] <succeeddesigns> slowness like between tabs in firefox, and just opening up different windows at the same time to clarify
[05:36] <bruenig> Kendreague, alternate cd is a text interface install, the normal is a live cd
[05:36] <Kendreague> Oh. I wish I knew that before, after going through all that trouble to get the Live to boot and install
[05:37] <smr> egads, alternate CD is downloading s l o w l y
[05:37] <xtknight> torrent it
[05:37] <bruenig> torrents
[05:37] <smr> it'll take longer i'm certain
[05:37] <colbert> When Feisty comes out is it going to need to be a fresh install or can it be upgraded over Edgy?
[05:37] <xtknight> i have torrents go at 600k regularly.. ubuntu ones
[05:37] <GaiaX11> succeeddesigns: There is something wrong in your installation, because ubuntu is usually very fast
[05:37] <xtknight> dmz or port forward
[05:38] <bruenig> colbert, it can be upgraded if you want
[05:38] <smr> i am port forwarding
[05:38] <emes> is there a keystroke to turn the bootsplash screen verbose?
[05:38] <chibiace> hey guys, im trying to compile my camera driver but there is no build directory in /lib/modules/mykernelversionhere-386/ ive got the headers and im currently installing linux-source, any idea?
[05:38] <smr> although i'll have to change it because i'm using whatever my dhcp handed out to me when i booted ubuntu
[05:39] <xtknight> succeeddesigns,  GaiaX11, i have noticed slight slowness also in menu drawing, tab loading.  mostly drwaing/video issues.  slight though not major
[05:39] <bruenig> emes, you can specify that in grub
[05:39] <colbert> bruenig: Would it wiser to fresh install or is upgrading as "safe" as fresh install ?
[05:39] <succeeddesigns> GaiaX11, im using a ATI card could this be the problem?>
[05:39] <xtknight> succeeddesigns, it usually means you're low on memory, actually.
[05:39] <smr> does feisty include a working ATI driver?
[05:39] <xtknight> succeeddesigns, or you're not using GLX
[05:39] <emes> bruenig: i'm booting the install cd
[05:39] <xtknight> smr, yes
[05:39] <smr> I couldn't get my 9800XT to work under edgy
[05:39] <bruenig> colbert, I like fresh install, just because I like to see all the new stuff, including the install and other stuff, but I think either is fine, probably upgrading is less hassle
[05:39] <xtknight> smr, it also includes FGLRX, installable via restricted-manager.  no command line needed to get 3d ati/nvidia acceleration
[05:39] <succeeddesigns> xtknight, hrmm how do i check if im using the glx with ati
[05:39] <GaiaX11> xtknight: Feisty?
[05:40] <xtknight> GaiaX11, me? ya
[05:40] <colbert> Ok
[05:40] <smr> i fought fglrx for a week on edgy
[05:40] <xtknight> succeeddesigns, glxinfo | grep rendering
[05:40] <GaiaX11> So might be because it is not stable yet
[05:40] <blanky> my friend just finally re-installed grub (he has a partition for linux and one for windows) after having installed windows and it overriding the mbr
[05:40] <blanky> now when grub loads and he chooses windows, grub just -reloads (it takes him back to the grub menu)
[05:40] <xtknight> GaiaX11, naw.  just low on memory i believe.  happened on dapper/edgy/any linux
[05:40] <blanky> anyone recognize this? or can help?
[05:40] <succeeddesigns> xtknight, it says no
[05:40] <xtknight> succeeddesigns, that would be your problem, probably
[05:40] <Zehava> how do I change from bash to a c shell?
[05:40] <xtknight> succeeddesigns, it must be quite slow
[05:41] <xtknight> !ati | succeeddesigns
[05:41] <ubotu> succeeddesigns: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:41] <xtknight> succeeddesigns, no Beryl or XGL right now, right?
[05:41] <GaiaX11> xtknight: how much memory do you have in?
[05:41] <emiliano> hi there
[05:41] <succeeddesigns> xtknight, nope
[05:41] <xtknight> GaiaX11, 2 gigs.  but it runs out after i start my VM and my compulsive tab opening habits.  regularly 25 windows with about 5 tabs each
[05:41] <succeeddesigns> alright thanks for the help ill look into installing the direct rendering
[05:42] <bruenig> !info csh
[05:42] <ubotu> csh: Shell with C-like syntax, standard login shell on BSD systems. In component universe, is optional. Version 20060413-1 (edgy), package size 235 kB, installed size 384 kB
[05:42] <bruenig> Zehava, you need to install csh
[05:42] <Zehava> bruenig okay, thanks
[05:42] <bruenig> !info tcsh
[05:42] <ubotu> tcsh: TENEX C Shell, an enhanced version of Berkeley csh. In component universe, is optional. Version 6.14.00-7 (edgy), package size 330 kB, installed size 692 kB
[05:42] <bruenig> or maybe tcsh
[05:42] <xtknight> GaiaX11, only reason im complaining with that type of usage is because windows seems slightly faster under the same conditions
[05:42] <bruenig> the description makes it sound better
[05:43] <GaiaX11> xtknight: I am not sure if the issue is memory in this case
[05:43] <smr> I hope this alternate cd works because feisty is really nice
[05:43] <xtknight> im not saying that's unacceptable though.  me opening 25 FFs w/ 5 tabs each is unacceptable :P
[05:43] <Zehava> After I get it installed, how do I get into it?
[05:43] <xtknight> GaiaX11, no, it isn't.  he doesn't have glx enabled
[05:43] <bruenig> Zehava, just "csh"
[05:43] <Zehava> bruenig okay, thanks alot
[05:43] <Ubuntulator> i have beryl running on my ati 9600 but NOT under XGL or FGLRX
[05:44] <xtknight> Ubuntulator, really?
[05:44] <Ubuntulator> works fine under gnome or KDE with ati
[05:44] <smr> under edgy with the vanilla ati driver beryl wouldn't run properly for me
[05:44] <xtknight> Ubuntulator, ati open source 3d?
[05:44] <smr> just a bunch of garbage
[05:44] <Ubuntulator> standard ati with ubuntu
[05:44] <xtknight> GaiaX11, Feisty actually seems to be faster for me
[05:45] <GaiaX11> xtknight: Might be something in ubuntu installation. Have you asked the guys about this slowness? Is it normal in feisty?
[05:45] <Kendreague> What does "C compiler cannot create executables" mean, besides the obvious?
[05:45] <xtknight> GaiaX11, trust me, it's just my habits
[05:45] <bruenig> Kendreague, means you need to do "sudo apt-get install build-essential" probably
[05:45] <Ubuntulator> xtnight: make sure fglrx is completly removed in your packs
[05:45] <xtknight> GaiaX11, it is not just feisty also.  it's probably a GTK thing
[05:45] <Kendreague> bruenig: thanks i'll try that
[05:45] <xtknight> GaiaX11, some gtk engines can not accelerate as well.
[05:45] <KurtB> Dudes, I whacked my sources.list, and I'm hoping someone can give me a clue how to reconfigure it... I'm using the amd64 bit build of 6.10.
[05:46] <bruenig> !easysource | KurtB
[05:46] <ubotu> KurtB: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[05:46] <xtknight> GaiaX11, murrine for example is considerably slower than clearlooks for drawing.  that may have bene my problem.
[05:46] <KurtB> bruenig:  Thank you!
[05:46] <Ubuntulator> xtknight: i'll give you a past of my xorg.conf
[05:46] <GaiaX11> xtknight: Ok. Because I am still running dapper here and it is very fast
[05:46] <xtknight> Ubuntulator, i wasnt having any problems with ati
[05:46] <xtknight> Ubuntulator, perhaps you meant succeeddesigns ?
[05:46] <Ubuntulator> oh
[05:47] <smr> bah, looks like no torrent download for me of alternate CD
[05:47] <xtknight> GaiaX11, ya gtk theme thing i think.
[05:47] <smr> downloading at 1200k now, so no biggie
[05:48] <sanzky> hi, does anyone has problems using googleearth with fglrx drivers?
[05:48] <xtknight> did some tests.  murrine gtk with resizing a ~1680x1050 button, was slower than clearlooks in the same situation.  considerably more CPU (1 thread) with murrine
[05:48] <Ubuntulator> i'm still a noob to linux so i gave up on beryl under xgl
[05:48] <xtknight> sanzky, not ati here but what problems?
[05:48] <smr> I gave up on it too under edgy... I wish ATI would step up their driver support
[05:48] <sanzky> I have direct rendering, but googleearth just freezes in the splash screen
[05:48] <xtknight> sanzky, run it from the console.  (google earth)   any error output?
[05:48] <sanzky> I get no errors from the terminal
[05:48] <xtknight> doh
[05:48] <sanzky> i get nothing actually
[05:49] <Ubuntulator> smr: i'm on edgy
[05:49] <xtknight> sanzky, hard freeze?  hogging cpu?  or just sitting with 0 cpu and not drawing?
[05:49] <wizard__> does anyone know of a way to make sound work on feisty right now? i upgraded and its all borked on sound
[05:49] <xtknight> !feisty
[05:49] <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)
[05:49] <smr> ubuntulator: I could not get glx to work on edgy with my 9800xt
[05:50] <sanzky> xtknight, the splash screen is there, it uses 99% cpu  and it doesnt start
[05:50] <xtknight> sanzky, perhaps ltrace or strace the program and see what's going on?
[05:50] <crimsun> wizard__: poke me in #ubuntu+1 with a pastebin url for your output from http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems
[05:50] <GaiaX11> smr http://isohunt.com/torrents/?ihq=ubuntu+alternate
[05:51] <EADG> Uhh, whats the GG name for next ver after Feisty?
[05:51] <xtknight> hmm dunno
[05:51] <xtknight> hasnt been chosen yet AFAIK
[05:51] <smr> Thanks, but I've got it. It's downloading blazingly fast now from the mirror
[05:51] <sanzky> xtknight, this are the last lines i get with strace
[05:51] <sanzky> futex(0x813ef8c, FUTEX_WAKE, 1)         = 0
[05:51] <sanzky> ioctl(7, 0x4008642a, 0xbfdc4450)        = 0
[05:51] <bruenig> EADG, it will show up in the wiki in about a week, if it follows the same MO as the past two
[05:51] <xtknight> sanzky, and do those repeat?  perpetually?
[05:51] <xtknight> sanzky, or is that where the program(strace) stops printing?
[05:51] <EADG> :/ was wondering about that the other night...
[05:52] <wizard__> crimsun: can you repeat?
[05:52] <bruenig> check digg for the next week or so, it will be there
[05:52] <crimsun> wizard__: poke me in #ubuntu+1 with a pastebin url for your output from http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems
[05:52] <sanzky> it repeats funex.... a lot of times then it stops with  ioctl(7, 0x4008642a, 0xbfdc4450)        = 0
[05:52] <quad3d> blubs
[05:52] <wizard__> crimsun: okay
[05:52] <xtknight> sanzky, ioctl() seemed to be a success.  it is weird it stops there.  not sure
[05:53] <xtknight> sanzky, sounds more likely to be a problem with google earth.  beta program is it?
[05:53] <sanzky> mm, It seems im missing libCg.so
[05:54] <xtknight> !find libCg.so
[05:54] <ubotu> Package/file libcg.so does not exist in edgy
[05:54] <xtknight> nvidia SDK it sounds like
[05:54] <madman91> hey guys.. i installed realvnc .. and when I run vnclicense i get a segmentation fault..
[05:54] <xtknight> Cg is an nvidia shader programming language
[05:55] <xtknight> sanzky, where did you get that error though?
[05:55] <sanzky> in the strace
[05:55] <sanzky> open("/opt/google-earth/tls/i686/libCg.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[05:55] <xtknight> sanzky, hmm..  sure google earth was properly installed with all libs?
[05:55] <xtknight> doesn't necessarily mean it needs it.  though it is curious
[05:55] <blanky> guys I need help on installing grub
[05:55] <blanky> grub-install what what?
[05:55] <blanky> grub-install /dev/sda ?
[05:55] <xtknight> blanky, sudo grub-install (hd0)
[05:55] <xtknight> for MBR install
[05:56] <blanky> thanks Xteven
[05:56] <sanzky> xtknight, running the bin file isnt enough?
[05:56] <xtknight> sanzky, it should be
[05:56] <xtknight> sanzky, maybe it had permission problems copying some files?
[05:56] <blanky> Xteven: (hd0) ? or do I replace that with something
[05:56] <blanky> er
[05:56] <blanky> xtknight
[05:56] <xtknight> blanky, just (hd0)
[05:56] <blanky> xtknight: maybe with a /dev something?
[05:56] <xtknight> blanky, where are you, though?
[05:56] <sanzky> I will try reinstalling with my user
[05:56] <bwlang> i'm looking for a good podcase aggregator... penguin tv crashes and vlc seems to have no way to update for new episodes, i'm also not happy with rhythmbox.  what works?
[05:56] <blanky> xtknight: (hd0) is giving me a syntax error...
[05:56] <blanky> xtknight: I'm trying to grub-install
[05:56] <xtknight> blanky, why?
[05:56] <xtknight> how did you boot ?
[05:56] <blanky> xtknight: it's a long story, willing to listen?
[05:57] <xtknight> blanky, are you on livecd or working install atm?
[05:57] <madman91> hey guys.. i installed realvnc .. and when I run vnclicense i get a segmentation fault.. .. no matter what flag I run...
[05:57] <xtknight> blanky, livecd trying to restore an installation?
[05:57] <xtknight> sanzky, if you installed it as root, you may also need to start it as root
[05:57] <blanky> xtknight: basically my friend after many failed attempts was able to recover ubuntu after installing windows ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows ), however, at the grub menu when he chooses windows it just re-loads the grub menu, only linux lets him in, so he went into linux and I'm SSH'd into his computer right now
[05:57] <Pelo> g'night folks
[05:57] <xtknight> madman91, very generic error indicating a failure to access a portion of memory
[05:58] <xtknight> madman91, usually a program problem but it could be CPU/memory failure
[05:58] <blanky> xtknight: I was wondering if maybe grub-installing over again might fix the problem, what do you think? I've google'd it to no avail
[05:58] <blanky> xtknight: please?
[05:58] <madman91> xtknight: .. so should i strace it ? or what can i do?
[05:58] <xtknight> madman91, not much you can do except contact the devs
[05:58] <madman91> xtknight: ok.. thanks :)
[05:58] <Kendreague> What is GTK? And how do I obtain it?
[05:58] <ibrahimnajmi> hi all
[05:58] <xtknight> Kendreague, you've got it
[05:58] <xtknight> gtk 2.0
[05:58] <blanky> xtknight: read my messages please ? :(
[05:58] <ibrahimnajmi> i need some help
[05:58] <madman91> !gtk
[05:58] <ubotu> GTK is the !GIMP toolkit, which forms the base of !GNOME and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI
[05:58] <xtknight> blanky, wow man hooldd up
[05:59] <blanky> xtknight: I appreciate it
[05:59] <madman91> !gtk | Kendreague
[05:59] <ubotu> Kendreague: please see above
[05:59] <xtknight> blanky, i answer the easy ones first :P
[05:59] <blanky> xtknight: :'(
[05:59] <ibrahimnajmi> can anyone tell me the pwd for root for ubuntu live
[05:59] <Kendreague> xtknight: I tried to compile an application and was told: "GTK+-2.8 is required to compile"
[05:59] <xtknight> blanky, alright.  windows does not start from grub?   then the chainloader cmd is probably wrong
[05:59] <naut> What's the best freeciv client
[05:59] <bruenig> ibrahimnajmi, there isn't any, just use sudo and it will work
[05:59] <cafuego_> !root
[05:59] <naut> gtk or xaw3d
[05:59] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[05:59] <xtknight> Kendreague, grab the dev libraries for GTK+
[06:00] <blanky> ibrahimnajmi: there isn't any, use passwd
[06:00] <xtknight> Kendreague, having GTK+ alone will not let you compile it.  headers are needed
[06:00] <ibrahimnajmi> i need to connect to ubuntu machine from windows server
[06:00] <blanky> xtknight: that's what I read somewhere
[06:00] <succeeddesigns> hrmm another fun problem, when i run apt-get update this appears:Segmentation faultsts... 0% I tried commenting out all entries in sources.list same problem
[06:00] <ibrahimnajmi> its asking me for a pwd
[06:00] <blanky> xtknight: want me to past the windows block of menu.lst?
[06:00] <Kendreague> xtknight: can I get GTK+ via Apt-get?
[06:00] <bruenig> ibrahimnajmi, surely it isn't
[06:00] <ibrahimnajmi> it is
[06:00] <xtknight> Kendreague, i suggest this for starters: sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
[06:00] <Kendreague> xtknight: great, thanks
[06:00] <bruenig> ibrahimnajmi, do sudo ls
[06:00] <xtknight> blanky, paste whole menu.lst
[06:00] <xtknight> !paste
[06:00] <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)
[06:00] <bruenig> ibrahimnajmi, that asks you for a password?
[06:01] <blanky> xtknight: http://paste.jorgepena.be/222
[06:01] <blanky> xtknight: oh okay
[06:01] <xtknight> no it's ok
[06:01] <xtknight> just dont't paste it in the channel
[06:01] <ibrahimnajmi> when i connect to a share on the unbuntu machine from windows server 2003 it asks me for a pwd
[06:01] <bruenig> ibrahimnajmi, I thought you said you were using live cd
[06:02] <ibrahimnajmi> i am using live cd on my laptop
[06:02] <ibrahimnajmi> and have shared somethings
[06:02] <blanky> xtknight: http://paste.jorgepena.be/223
[06:02] <ibrahimnajmi> i am accessing those shares from a windows server 2003 syts
[06:02] <bruenig> ibrahimnajmi, ok well on a live cd, you simply use sudo and it works without password, I am not sure of this share business
[06:02] <Kendreague> Ubuntu's ease is quite impressive...
[06:02] <xtknight> blanky, looks OK to me.  can you give me an idea of the boot sector present on /dev/sda1 (hd0,0)?
[06:03] <xtknight> blanky, "sudo dd if=/dev/sda1 of=~/output bs=512 count=1" then "strings ~/output".  pastebin the output of last cmd please.
[06:03] <blanky> xtknight: sorry what?
[06:03] <blanky> okay
[06:03] <cafuego_> ibrahimnajmi: You need to specify a user to connect to the share as, then it asks for that user's password.
[06:03] <xtknight> blanky, please dont confuse if= and of=
[06:03] <xtknight> blanky, it is dangeruos if you do :O
[06:03] <blanky> invalid number '1 then strings'
[06:03] <blanky> oh woops
[06:03] <xtknight> blanky, separate commamnds
[06:03] <blanky> haha
[06:03] <blanky> yeah
[06:03] <xtknight> :)
[06:03] <ibrahimnajmi> huh
[06:03] <cafuego_> sudo dd if=/dev/sda1 of=- | strings | less
[06:04] <blanky> xtknight: past the last command output?
[06:04] <xtknight> blanky, yes
[06:04] <xtknight> paste*
[06:04] <cafuego_> whoops
[06:04] <ibrahimnajmi> i am blank
[06:04] <blanky> xtknight: http://paste.jorgepena.be/224
[06:04] <Whtiger> I am spartacus
[06:04] <blanky> ibrahimnajmi: haha hey I'm blank
[06:05] <cafuego_> dd won't copy to stdout?
[06:05] <xtknight> blanky, grub got installed on the XP boot sector.  that is a problem
[06:05] <blanky> xtknight: ohhh, that's what I assumed, one of his failed attempts must've messed something up
[06:05] <xtknight> blanky, at one point you did grub-install (hd0,0).  only do grub-install (hd0)
[06:05] <blanky> xtknight: what do you suggest, 'FIXMBR' ?
[06:05] <xtknight> blanky, no no \
[06:05] <cafuego_> sudo dd if=/dev/sda1 bs=512 count=1 | strings | less
[06:05] <xtknight> blanky, do not do fixboot either
[06:05] <blanky> xtknight: re grub-install ?
[06:05] <WebDesigner> hello
[06:05] <ibrahimnajmi> its still askin me for a pwd?
[06:05] <blanky> xtknight: okay what do you suggest
[06:05] <ibrahimnajmi> do i need to create a user?
[06:06] <blanky> ibrahimnajmi: create a password with passwd ubuntu, then whenever it asks you, use the password you chose
[06:06] <xtknight> blanky, fixboot will misinterpret the partition as a FAT16 and you'll lose your data.  been there.  grub in an XP partition is not a good thing.  i suggest using "testdisk" to "rebuild bs" (rebuild boot sector)
[06:06] <WebDesigner> why stream_select (php5 cli + ssl) wont work in any ubuntu 64bit?
[06:06] <blanky> xtknight: sorry, not as advanced, so, wait what? use 'testdisk' to 'rebuild bs'
[06:06] <WebDesigner> ive been submitted that bug in launchpad, its been months.. but no one responds
[06:06] <xtknight> blanky, sudo apt-get install testdisk
[06:06] <blanky> step ahead of you :P
[06:06] <xtknight> sudo testdisk
[06:07] <timthelion> hey, I have always just backed up my home folder and been happy.  But I recently started using cron, and I don't know where the crontab files are kept. where are they kept?
[06:07] <WebDesigner> anyone please?
[06:07] <WebDesigner> my 64bit ubuntu didnt work with php5 cli stream_select
[06:07] <WebDesigner> only that part
[06:07] <xtknight> blanky, once in, choose /dev/sda1.  then go to Intel partition type, and then goto Advanced.  Find your NTFS partition and perform boot sector recovery
[06:07] <ibrahimnajmi> ok i did wht u told me but it says incorrect pwd on my windows
[06:08] <xtknight> blanky, /dev/sda rather at beginning**
[06:08] <timthelion> where is my users crontab file kept?
[06:08] <cafuego_> timthelion: /var/spool/cron
[06:08] <ibrahimnajmi> is there any way to install a EFS cert in ubuntu?
[06:08] <blanky> xtknight: testdisk needs 25 lines, im on ssh, how can I enlarge the terminal?
[06:08] <xtknight> blanky, umm
[06:08] <dabaR> WebDesigner: and you are sure you are using the right calls? Did you confirm with someone on #php?
[06:08] <blanky> don't worry I'll have my friend do it for me
[06:09] <xtknight> heh ok :O
[06:09] <blanky> is that all xtknight ?
[06:09] <timthelion> cafuego is there any way I could change that?  I don't want to back up var
[06:09] <xtknight> blanky, after that if XP still does not boot then fixboot perhaps (NOT fixmbr).  but come back here i'd say, after completing the testdisk thing.
[06:09] <blanky> okay thanks xtknight
[06:09] <ibrahimnajmi>  is there any way to install a EFS cert in ubuntu?
[06:10] <WebDesigner> dabaR: yes, ive trace for 6 months, and the bug is in ubuntu package
[06:10] <dabaR> WebDesigner: compile the code yourself.
[06:10] <f50fan> can i get some help installing?
[06:11] <colbert> How do I set permissions on a file so that it's not owned by root
[06:11] <xtknight> colbert, sudo chown user:user file
[06:11] <xtknight> colbert, if you do user, it will be owned by user.  if you do user:user it will be both owned and created by user (it will look as if it had been created by user originally)
[06:11] <mindstate> is there a way i can downgrade from xorg 7.2 to 7.1? .. seems like my X is running alot slower on 7.2 .. anyone?
[06:11] <dabaR> ibrahimnajmi: did you try http://www.google.com/search?q=efs%20certificate%20ubuntu ?
[06:12] <GaiaX11> colbert: which permissions? owner, group, read, write?
[06:12] <dabaR> !ask | f50fan
[06:12] <ubotu> f50fan: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:12] <dabaR> colbert: which file?
[06:12] <f50fan> haha. okay.
[06:12] <gerry_> hello
[06:12] <ibrahimnajmi> did
[06:13] <xtknight> !hi
[06:13] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[06:13] <gerry_> in kvm, xp virtual, why i can't find mouse , i can't use mouse
[06:13] <WebDesigner> dabaR: please read my report 1st. its: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/80852
[06:13] <colbert> I have installed aMSN with a bash script, and I had it working before on my previous install, and I changed the permissions on it with help from some1, and it worked.. but now when I run it from the menu it starts for a second and stops, so I need to change it again
[06:13] <ibrahimnajmi> but dont show how to add the cert to ubuntu so i can read the encrypted files
[06:13] <gerry_> i'm using feisty
[06:13] <xtknight> !feisty | gerry_
[06:13] <ubotu> gerry_: 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)
[06:14] <gerry_> ok
[06:14] <f50fan> im installing right now and i used sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and i can get to the screen to choose color bit depth but when i choose a number i get  "xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20070405175626" how can i get past this?
[06:14] <GaiaX11> colbert: purge it and install all again
[06:14] <MajorPayne> This is a random question, but why would Ubuntu be using swap space when I have a little over a GB of free ram?
[06:15] <colbert> GaiaX11: how do I purge it?
[06:15] <dabaR> MajorPayne: that is how the kernel was written.
[06:15] <f50fan> how do i purge it?
[06:15] <f50fan> oh not me.
[06:15] <xtknight> MajorPayne, you can adjust the sysctl vm.swappiness if you'd like
[06:15] <ardchoille> f50fan: That is normal, it's backing up your previous xorg in case you need to revert. Just hit the enter key.
[06:15] <xtknight> MajorPayne, i don't really think it uses swap if there's lots of free ram though.  how did you deduce it was using swap?
[06:15] <Healot> in case if you don't have enough RAM, usually the kernel will prioritize RAM access instead of swap partition
[06:15] <GaiaX11> colbert: sudo dpkg --purge file or through synaptic
[06:16] <GaiaX11> colbert: remove the .amsn in your home folder also
[06:16] <f50fan> i hit the enter key but then i just get the prompt.
[06:16] <blanky> xtknight: hey, my friend pasted the output, http://paste.jorgepena.be/225
[06:16] <MajorPayne> It doesn't bother me, it's not using that much at all, it just seems strange that it would feel the need to use some.  I found out using the System Monitor under the Admin menu.
[06:16] <GaiaX11> colbert: might be on .amsn there
[06:16] <blanky> xtknight: is that a good thing?
[06:16] <ardchoille> f50fan: Then the reconfigure is done.
[06:16] <WebDesigner> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/80852 <-- anyone could help me with this problem please?
[06:16] <xtknight> blanky, that is expected
[06:17] <bjron> where is my gnome session being stored?
[06:17] <xtknight> blanky, press List
[06:17] <f50fan> so i reboot?
[06:17] <blanky> xtknight: okay so he should reboot?
[06:17] <MajorPayne> It says it is using 17.3 MB, not much at all.
[06:17] <blanky> xtknight: List?
[06:17] <blanky> okay
[06:17] <xtknight> blanky, to see if the files show up.  if they do, pres Write
[06:17] <xtknight> MajorPayne, where/how does it say that?
[06:17] <ardchoille> f50fan: No, you just need to restart x. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[06:17] <ibrahimnajmi> pls help me this is urgent
[06:17] <ibrahimnajmi> my vista has crashed and habe encrypted files
[06:17] <MajorPayne> xtknight: System Monitor under the admin menu.
[06:17] <Derek__> Hi everyone.. I've got a problem and I was hoping that someone might be able to advise me.  I just burned an Ubuntu boot disk, but when I try to boot with it, it gets past the Ubuntu screen with the progress bar, then my monitor loses signal and everything goes black
[06:18] <ibrahimnajmi> i got the bakup cert also
[06:18] <cafuego_> Sorry, but how is that an Ubuntu issue and not a Vista one?
[06:18] <xtknight> MajorPayne, mine is pretty much always 0 bytes
[06:18] <MajorPayne> xtknight: free (the command) shows it to.
[06:18] <xtknight> MajorPayne, even with almost 2 gigs of regula RAM being used
[06:18] <ibrahimnajmi> how doi i install it on ubuntu to recover those files
[06:18] <f50fan> ardchoille, i put that in but now i have the failed to start the X server screen again.
[06:18] <bulmer> derek_: select the lower resolution
[06:18] <xtknight> ibrahimnajmi, i don't believe it is possible to restore Vista encryption.  you'd have to break it
[06:18] <ibrahimnajmi> thts is i want to install the efs certificate
[06:18] <cafuego_> ibrahimnajmi: What were the files encrypted with?
[06:18] <mindstate> is there a way i can downgrade from xorg 7.2 to 7.1? .. seems like my X is running alot slower on 7.2 .. anyone?
[06:18] <Derek__> How do you select a resolution when you boot?
[06:18] <MajorPayne> xtknight: Wow, I have 2 gigs in this computer.  It should't be using swap that much at all.
[06:18] <ibrahimnajmi> std vista
[06:19] <ibrahimnajmi> encryption
[06:19] <xtknight> ibrahimnajmi, ok never mind.  i'm not sure how to install the crypt though.  BartPE perhaps.  whynot just reinstall vista?
[06:19] <cafuego_> ibrahimnajmi: ... which is what?
[06:19] <ardchoille> f50fan: That means there are errors in the info you used in the reconfigure. You'll have to investigate and do it again. or revert to the backup if it worked.
[06:19] <xtknight> bitlocker or NTFS/EFS?
[06:19] <blanky> xtknight: okay he did 'write', yes the files showed up, now it says
[06:19] <ibrahimnajmi> i dont need to as i have the efs certificate
[06:19] <Derek__> I'm running with a 20" widescreen LCD
[06:19] <blanky> A valid NTFS Boot sector must be present in order to access any data; even if the partition is not bootable.
[06:19] <dabaR> ibrahimnajmi: from what I have read, there is no way to get that done on Ubuntu(I read very few words). If this is important to you, the best way is to read what google has to say. Someone blogged about it if it is possible. If you want, spend some time, and find out.
[06:19] <ibrahimnajmi> ntfs/efs
[06:19] <blanky> xtknight: so that means he's good? should he reboot to test it out?
[06:19] <xtknight> blanky, is that an error?  or just info?
[06:19] <f50fan> ardchoille, okay i'll try and reconfigure again.
[06:19] <blanky> xtknight: i dont know haha
[06:19] <xtknight> blanky, where did it say that?
[06:20] <bulmer> Derek__: read the options ..see at bottom for function keys
[06:20] <blanky> xtknight: that's the output that came up after 'write', http://paste.jorgepena.be/226
[06:20] <xtknight> blanky, hm who knows.  lets dump it using dd if= ... etc again.  Exit testdisk now
[06:20] <Derek__> alright, I'll give that a try and pop back in here if it doesn't work
[06:20] <ibrahimnajmi> wht i need is to install my EFS Certificate
[06:20] <blanky> xtknight: okay, sorry but you mind telling me the commands again?
[06:20] <xtknight> blanky, looks like it succeeeded.  exit testdisk
[06:20] <xtknight> blanky, ya sec
[06:20] <ardchoille> f50fan: Is this after installing video drivers?
[06:20] <ibrahimnajmi> once i dop tht i can decrypt the files
[06:20] <f50fan> ardchoille, i think it may be a video problem.
[06:21] <xtknight>  blanky, "sudo dd if=/dev/sda1 of=~/output bs=512 count=1" then "strings ~/output".  pastebin the output of last cmd please.
[06:21] <ardchoille> f50fan: Me too
[06:21] <f50fan> is my nvidia card NV?
[06:21] <ardchoille> f50fan: I use 'nvidia' as my video driver instead of nv
[06:21] <blanky> xtknight: http://paste.jorgepena.be/227
[06:22] <cafuego_> ibrahimnajmi: You're assuming Ubuntu supports NTFS/EFS I guess. It'll be a driver option, surely. Otheriwse certs go into the ssl certs dir under /usr/lib/ssl/certs
[06:22] <xtknight> blanky, weird.  did he copy the original to the backup or the backup to the original BS?
[06:22] <blanky> xtknight: but after exiting testdisk it said he had to reboot to take effect, he hasn't yet
[06:22] <xtknight> :/
[06:22] <f50fan> ardchoille, nvidia isnt an option i can choose.
[06:22] <blanky> xtknight: maybe he has to reboot, after all that's what testdisk said
[06:22] <blanky> xtknight: then after, the things might change
[06:22] <xtknight> blanky, yeah could be it.  doubt it though.  usually that's for updating the partition table itself
[06:22] <cafuego_> offhand I'd say your chances of making it work are 0. MS are unlikely to have used a decent,. open algorithm or implementation.
[06:22] <mindstate> is there a way i can downgrade from xorg 7.2 to 7.1? .. seems like my X is running alot slower on 7.2 .. anyone?
[06:22] <xtknight> blanky, what about the above?  which direction did he restore the BS
[06:22] <blanky> what do you mean about copying original and what not?
[06:22] <ibrahimnajmi> ubuntu can read my ntfs drive
[06:22] <ardchoille> f50fan: Did you install nvidia drivers? If so, how did you do it?
[06:23] <blanky> xtknight: I'm not sure, he just chose rebuild BS
[06:23] <xtknight> blanky, did it ask him anything else after he pressed Rebulid BS
[06:23] <blanky> hold on let me ask him
[06:23] <ibrahimnajmi> but it cant open the files as they are encrypted u c
[06:23] <cafuego_> ibrahimnajmi: the vista encryption i mean
[06:23] <f50fan> ardchoille, i didnt install drivers. i have no idea how to.
[06:23] <cafuego_> ibrahimnajmi: mount disk, copy encrypted files off, reinstalled vista, copy files back, install certificate, done.
[06:23] <xtknight> yea
[06:23] <xtknight> well
[06:23] <blanky> xtknight: http://paste.jorgepena.be/228 is what it said when he chose rebuild bs
[06:23] <ardchoille> f50fan: If you have an nvidia card, you have to isntall drivers for it, this could be why the reconfigure didn't work.
[06:24] <ardchoille> !nvidia | f50fan
[06:24] <xtknight> cafuego,  not sure about that.  what if it's dependent on drive SN or something?
[06:24] <ubotu> f50fan: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:24] <f50fan> how do i install them?
[06:24] <blanky> xtknight: maybe rebooting will do the trick?
[06:24] <xtknight> cafuego_ *
[06:24] <f50fan> ubotu, thanx.
[06:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about thanx. - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:24] <ardchoille> f50fan: ubotu is a bot
[06:24] <xtknight> !thanks | f50fan
[06:24] <ubotu> f50fan: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[06:24] <cafuego_> xtknight: Then no amount of 'installing the certificate' will help either way
[06:24] <dabaR> xtknight: then using ubuntu is likely not to work anyhow.
[06:24] <xtknight> blanky, alright reboot
[06:24] <f50fan> oh haha
[06:24] <blanky> xtknight: okay
[06:24] <xtknight> blanky, try XP while youre at it
[06:25] <ibrahimnajmi> wont work cafu
[06:25] <ibrahimnajmi> it cant copy
[06:25] <blanky> xtknight: okay he's trying
[06:25] <ibrahimnajmi> thts the main issue
[06:25] <blanky> thanks xtknight I appreciate the help
[06:25] <xtknight> blanky, just be lucky you asked or you cuold have lost lots of data :P
[06:25] <blanky> xtknight: hehe
[06:25] <payan> !ubotu | !ubotu
[06:25] <dabaR> ibrahimnajmi: perhaps contacting the microsoft support team is your best chance, then.
[06:25] <ubotu> !ubotu: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[06:25] <cables> Is there a quick way to set up the top/side/front/camera views in Blender?
[06:26] <ibrahimnajmi> they will be closed
[06:26] <ibrahimnajmi> its weekend here
[06:26] <xtknight> blanky, and please stay with me here, i  don twant you to lose that data either.  im 'the man' to takl to when it comes to this stuff.  testdisk has saved my rear end numerous times though
[06:26] <blanky> hahaha okay, thanks xtknight I'm glad out of 1000 people here you listened to me haha
[06:26] <cables> So Ubuntu installs don't dual-boot with Vista?
[06:26] <aj_> RoundyT1 are you around
[06:26] <payan> !ubotu | !ubotu |
[06:26] <ubotu> !ubotu |: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[06:26] <cafuego_> Well, let this be a less on entrusting your data to a proprietary encryption mechanism on a proprietary OS.
[06:26] <Varsendaggr> Hey i am having an issue with my gnome-settings deamon....    it makes it slow to start up but i can run the deamon as a normal user and it works fine
[06:26] <xtknight> blanky, ive done 'fixboot' and lost 10MB of a partition (though testdisk recovered that mostly too)
[06:26] <cables> !botabuse > payan
[06:26] <blanky> hehe
[06:26] <ardchoille> !botabuse | payan
[06:26] <ubotu> payan: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[06:27] <payan> sorry
[06:27] <ibrahimnajmi> if anyone could just tell me how to share those encrypted files so tht i can access it from windows server machine where i have the cert installed i could recover them
[06:27] <ardchoille> hehe
[06:27] <dabaR> ibrahimnajmi: I am sure there is a 24/7 number for the wow.
[06:27] <blanky> payan: haha clever, failure nonetheless
[06:27] <ibrahimnajmi> nope
[06:27] <cables> So is it the case that Ubuntu kills Vista installs when you try to install it?
[06:27] <xtknight> doubt it
[06:27] <ibrahimnajmi> naa
[06:27] <cables> so what's going on?
[06:27] <ibrahimnajmi> i messed up visyta
[06:27] <ibrahimnajmi> vista
[06:27] <ibrahimnajmi> while i was in vista
[06:28] <eternal_p> hi al
[06:28] <eternal_p> l
[06:28] <sayers> its easy to mess up windows :P
[06:28] <Derek__> Hi, I"m back.  I changed the resolution and this time I got a cursor line that blinked a few times, then the monitor shut off again.  Any ideas/
[06:28] <eternal_p> quick question, how can  I change the colours of my gnome panels?
[06:28] <WebDesigner> *sigh*
[06:28] <WebDesigner> ubuntu aint suiteable for corporate solutions
[06:28] <ibrahimnajmi> unfortunate i had encrypted those files as i had to send my laptop for repair
[06:28] <ibrahimnajmi> and didnt bak it up
[06:28] <WebDesigner> bug ive been submitted its already 6 months
[06:28] <cables> !offtopic | WebDesigner
[06:28] <ubotu> WebDesigner: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[06:28] <dabaR> WebDesigner: did you try compiling the php yourself?
[06:29] <cables> WebDesigner, nmv
[06:29] <eternal_p> webDesigner: that is what CenOS is for :)
[06:29] <cables> *nvm
[06:29] <cafuego_> ibrahimnajmi: That's why you remove the HDD before sending off the laptop.
[06:29] <blanky> xtknight: I think he'll have to re-install grub right, because grub didn't even load
[06:29] <blanky> this time, xtknight, install to just (hd0) right?
[06:29] <xtknight> blanky, grub doenst load?  or windows doesnt?
[06:29] <blanky> xtknight: grub
[06:29] <xtknight> blanky, yes (hd0) not   (hd0,0)
[06:29] <blanky> which means nothing does
[06:29] <blanky> okay thanks
[06:29] <WebDesigner> dabar: if i had to compile ubuntu by myself, while i know people choose ubuntu for easy installation, i wouldnt leave my BSd box at the 1st time
[06:29] <xtknight> blanky, how is he booting though?  where will he be executing grub-install (hd0)/
[06:29] <WebDesigner> dabar: its from apt-get
[06:30] <blanky> xtknight: live cd
[06:30] <Derek__> Does anyone have any ideas why my monotir shuts off when the live cd boots?
[06:30] <mon^rch> eternal_p: r-click the panel properties--> background (and pick a cool picture) I'd just install a theme that does it for you :)
[06:30] <xtknight> blanky, then you will have to mount your other partition first
[06:30] <blanky> yeah I've done that before
[06:30] <xtknight> blanky, --root-directory=
[06:30] <xtknight> ?
[06:30] <blanky> only reason he messed up was cause he did it himself this time haha
[06:30] <blanky> what?
[06:30] <dabaR> WebDesigner: that may be the solution to your troubles. Once you compile, use checkinstall to install, and it will give you a deb package to install on any other machines you have.
[06:30] <xtknight> blanky, ok.  well mount the partition ("sudo mkdir -p /mnt/linux && sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/linux") first
[06:30] <dustin_> i got Halflife 2 with steam running on my ubuntu system!!!!!
[06:31] <xtknight> blanky, replacing /dev/sda2 with linux root
[06:31] <eternal_p> mon^rch: thank you...do you knwo if it is possible to cover everything...(my gnome menu, etc) still have the other background
[06:31] <WebDesigner> dabar: i did it
[06:31] <blanky> dustin_: take a screeny!! :D
[06:31] <dabaR> dustin_: and now we share in your joy!
[06:31] <WebDesigner> from brezzy to edgy
[06:31] <ibrahimnajmi> how do i enable anonymous login on ubuntu so tht i can connect to the share in ubuntu
[06:31] <WebDesigner> nothing is work with php5-cli + openssl in stream_select issue
[06:31] <blanky> xtknight: yeah /dev/sda2 is linux root on this pc
[06:31] <Derek__> Can anyone help me with this problem where my monitor shuts off when I try to boot from the Live CD?  I changed my res last time I tried booting, to 1400x1050
[06:32] <mindstate> is there a way i can downgrade from xorg 7.2 to 7.1? .. seems like my X is running alot slower on 7.2 .. anyone?
[06:32] <blanky> xtknight: don't need -t ext3 ?
[06:32] <xtknight> blanky, after it's mounted, use this.  "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/linux (hd0)"
[06:32] <xtknight> blanky, nope.
[06:32] <mon^rch> eternal_p:  check out mine: http://gardenofeden.dyndns.org/Screenshot.png
[06:32] <blanky> would it hurt in putting it there?
[06:32] <xtknight> blanky, nope
[06:32] <blanky> okay :)
[06:32] <blanky> sweet, thanks dude
[06:32] <blanky> then that should be all right
[06:32] <xtknight> blanky, maybe
[06:33] <dustin_> http://picasaweb.google.com/Nead.Enterprises/UntitledAlbum
[06:33] <blanky> pretty sure it will be, thanks again man
[06:33] <eternal_p> mon^rch: that is exactly what I am looking for
[06:33] <xtknight> blanky, dont leave until it is ;)
[06:33] <dustin_> ^^^^   hl2 demo on ubuntu

[06:33] <blanky> xtknight: kay kay
[06:33] <mon^rch> eternal_p: I can semnd you the links if you like the theme
[06:33] <cables> !sound | Adremelech
[06:33] <ubotu> Adremelech: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3

[06:34] <mon^rch> eternal_p: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/download.php?content=44570&id=2
[06:35] <Crazytom> aj_, what kind of chipset do you have
[06:35] <ibrahimnajmi> any help on sharing?
[06:35] <dustin_> blanky,    i will    may even write wiki to make it ubutu
[06:35] <blanky> dustin_: cool
[06:35] <xtknight> wine is a lifesaver sometimes
[06:35] <blanky> yea
[06:35] <ardchoille> dustin_: Please write up something, I could never get hl2 working in Dapper.
[06:36] <aj_> Crazytom 2.6.15-28-386
[06:36] <xtknight> dustin_, d3d9 HL2?
[06:36] <urthmover> does anyone have BF2 running well with wine?
[06:36] <xtknight> or does wine not do d3d9
[06:36] <eternal_p> mon^rch: last question...is how do I install?
[06:36] <eternal_p> :)
[06:36] <flaccid> anyone have experience using mod_auth_digest with apache on ubuntu?
[06:36] <dustin_> it actually took like no time   i was really imprezzed
[06:36] <urthmover> probably not
[06:36] <mon^rch> eternal_p: you MUST sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-pixbuf before installing
[06:36] <Crazytom> aj_, do an lspci -v and look for your wireless card
[06:36] <Derek__> Can anyone help me figure out why my live cd boots to a black screen on my desktop?  It works on my laptop, but not my desktop
[06:36] <dustin_> ardchoille, here is the link http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wiwimod/index.php?page=HOWTO+Steam&back=HOWTO+INDEX+Wine+Games
[06:36] <dustin_> blanky,
[06:36] <dabaR> Derek__: does the desktop have an ati or nvidia graphics card?
[06:36] <Crazytom> aj_, should say something like bcm4306
[06:37] <Derek__> yes
[06:37] <Derek__> ATI
[06:37] <blanky> dustin_: yeah
[06:37] <dabaR> Derek__: OK, so that is the likely reason for your trouble.
[06:37] <mon^rch> eternal_p: get that last one?
[06:37] <aj_> Crazytom one sec
[06:37] <Derek__> How do I go about fixing it?
[06:37] <ibrahimnajmi> dabar i can give some
[06:37] <eternal_p> mon^rch: the gtk2 yup
[06:37] <dustin_> blanky, just shing the link for HL2 and steam
[06:37] <ibrahimnajmi> but just help to share those files atleast
[06:37] <Magilla_> Got a quick question: every time I try to log in to gnome, it gets about halfway through loading and then the display manager restarts
[06:37] <Magilla_> how do I fix it?
[06:37] <ardchoille> dustin_: Oh, I don't use wine, I thought hl2 had a Linux client.
[06:38] <ibrahimnajmi> my windows is askin me for a pwd to access a share on ubuntu
[06:38] <eternal_p> magilla: you have a nvidia or ati card?
[06:38] <ibrahimnajmi> tried all i knw
[06:38] <xtknight> Magilla_, does it say "the session lasted less than 10 seconds"?
[06:38] <Magilla_> eternal_p: nvidia
[06:38] <dabaR> Derek__: I think you can install the binary driver, but it requires reboot, so you would have to install Ubuntu tto get it working.
[06:38] <ibrahimnajmi> even created a bloody user
[06:38] <mon^rch> eternal_p: okay System>Preferences>Theme and drag the theme you downloaded first to the window
[06:38] <Magilla_> xtknight: not that I can see
[06:38] <Anderbubble> I'm running 7.04b, and on two separate computers now I've seen ide controllers with drives mapped to /dev/sd*. Does anyone know why?
[06:38] <xtknight> Magilla_, gdm reboots when the gnome splash reports a progress of ~50?
[06:38] <dabaR> ibrahimnajmi: add a machine account to samba.
[06:38] <eternal_p> magilla: you have to boot into recovery mode, use envy to delete the driver, then use envy to reload the driver
[06:38] <Magilla_> xtknight: about that
[06:38] <blanky> hey xtknight ssh is whining something about rsa ids changing, how can I overcome this?
[06:38] <xtknight> Magilla_, odd.  how is the freespace on the home or root partition?
[06:38] <dabaR> blanky: it tells you how.
[06:38] <blanky> by adding a correct host key
[06:39] <xtknight> blanky, not sure.  i usually just ignore the stuff
[06:39] <blanky> screw that
[06:39] <ibrahimnajmi> how do i take ownership of the folder
[06:39] <succeeddesigns> what does this mean:  apt-get update and returns: Segmentation faultsts... 0%
[06:39] <Derek__> dabaR: that sounds like it's beyond my knowhow as of this point - how do you install a binary driver?
[06:39] <Anderbubble> blanky, delete your ~/.ssh/known_hosts for a quick fix
[06:39] <Magilla_> xtknight: _should_ have stacks
[06:39] <blanky> xtknight: it's not letting me
[06:39] <blanky> thanks Anderbubble
[06:39] <ibrahimnajmi> where can i get samba console
[06:39] <Derek__> installing the OS isn't much of an issue as I have a partition for it
[06:39] <dabaR> !ati | Derek__
[06:39] <ubotu> Derek__: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:39] <mon^rch> eternal_p: anmd make sure controls and window decorations are Linsta3
[06:39] <Magilla_> I just installed the latest wine, HL2 and CS:S though
[06:39] <xtknight> blanky, how many words per minute do you type? :O
[06:39] <blanky> xtknight:  :P
[06:39] <ibrahimnajmi> or  in other words how do i add the machine account
[06:39] <ibrahimnajmi> to samba
[06:39] <eternal_p> mon^rch: that is perfect, thank you!
[06:39] <Magilla_> what is "envy", and how do I use it
[06:39] <Magilla_> ?
[06:39] <dabaR> ibrahimnajmi: what have you done so far, can you briefly describe?
[06:39] <xtknight> !envy
[06:39] <ubotu> envy is a Python script that eases installation of the official Nvidia and ATI drivers. This software is NOT supported by ubuntu and you will not receive aid for it here. More at http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html See !nvidia and !nvidia9
[06:39] <mon^rch> eternal_p: nice theme, eh?
[06:39] <aj_> razytom found it what am I lookingfor
[06:39] <ibrahimnajmi> sure
[06:39] <eternal_p> very
[06:40] <Magilla_> hmm
[06:40] <Magilla_> I'll try to open that in lynx
[06:40] <aj_> Crazytom found it what am I looking for
[06:40] <Magilla_> thanks
[06:40] <xtknight> Magilla_, hmm even 'vesa' doesnt work?
[06:40] <ibrahimnajmi> i shared the folder so it asked wht type share i said woindows so it dlded the samba files and shared it
[06:40] <Magilla_> xtknight: how do I change it?
[06:40] <xtknight> Magilla_, i suggest creating a new user so you can start gnome properly.  you can do this from a virtual terminal.
[06:40] <eternal_p> mon^rch: very much so
[06:40] <Magilla_> kk
[06:40] <eternal_p> it is exactly what I have been looking for
[06:40] <ibrahimnajmi> then i went to my windows server try to access the share it asks for username and pwd
[06:40] <mon^rch> np
[06:41] <Magilla_> one sec...
[06:41] <renjoy_> Hi, I would like to know if I can get root rights on nautilus!
[06:41] <xtknight> Magilla_, sudo adduser --home=/home/debuguser debuguser
[06:41] <ibrahimnajmi> so i created a username and pwd and with admin prev and then tried using tht it wont work
[06:41] <mon^rch> eternal_p: lots of icon themes out there too... I like one called "Snow Apple"
[06:41] <crazy_penguin> Good morning!
[06:41] <blanky> xtknight: "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/linux (hd0)" is giving me a syntax error at (
[06:41] <blanky> xtknight: I'm guessing I need /dev/sda instead?
[06:41] <succeeddesigns> What does segmentation faultists mean?
[06:41] <xtknight> blanky, weird.  are the "s going in or sometihng?
[06:41] <blanky> no hahaha
[06:41] <xtknight> succeeddesigns, segmentation fault is a failure to access a portion of memory due to having no permissions
[06:41] <blanky> sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/linux /dev/sda
[06:42] <blanky> xtknight: shouldn't it be like that?
[06:42] <xtknight> blanky, odd.  try /dev/sda, but NOT NTO NOT NOT NOT sda1
[06:42] <xtknight> :O
[06:42] <blanky> xtknight: sure thing :D
[06:42] <eternal_p> i'm running mint, and the mint icons I'm happy with, it was the panes more than anything I am a very happy camper :)
[06:42] <succeeddesigns> xtknight, why would that appear when i try to type in apt-get update?
[06:42] <Magilla_> xtknight: I can't log in with any of the normal accounts
[06:42] <xtknight> succeeddesigns, anything from a program bug to cpu issues to memory problems
[06:42] <Derek__> dabaR: that guide seemsl ike you have to actually be in the OS to install the drivers.  How do I install the drivers if I can't see anything?
[06:42] <Magilla_> will making a new one change it?
[06:42] <aj_> Crazytom it found it
[06:42] <succeeddesigns> xtknight, any ideas on how to fix it?
[06:42] <blanky> xtknight: http://paste.jorgepena.be/229
[06:42] <xtknight> Magilla_, yes try logging in with debugusers
[06:43] <xtknight> succeeddesigns, sadly, not really.  run memtest to check your memory
[06:43] <Magilla_> ok
[06:43] <mon^rch> eternal_p: happy to be flashy :)
[06:43] <dabaR> Derek__: have you tried hitting alt-ctrl-f1 once everything loads in live cd to get to a console?
[06:43] <blanky> xtknight: that means it's good?
[06:43] <ibrahimnajmi> derek to install nvidia drivers u need to boot into console not in server x
[06:43] <succeeddesigns> xtknight, k thanks
[06:43] <xtknight> blanky, yeah
[06:43] <blanky> xtknight: reboot?
[06:43] <Derek__> dabaR: my monitor says "no signal" and turns off once the cd boots
[06:43] <xtknight> blanky, yup
[06:43] <blanky> xtknight: thanks dude, hopefully this time it works
[06:43] <Derek__> as if I had shut the computer off
[06:43] <xtknight> Derek__, sounds like your video driver is crashing.  check Xorg.log
[06:43] <dabaR> ibrahimnajmi: wow, I did not know you can just assign a share like that with a right click. Well, hm... try "smbadmin --help" in  terminal.
[06:43] <Derek__> or unplugged the cable
[06:44] <Derek__> xtknight: I'm using a live cd right now, the OS isn't isntalled
[06:44] <xtknight> Derek__, i would install using Alternate and then recovery/check Xorg.1.log
[06:44] <Crazytom> aj_, what kind of chipset does it say it is
[06:44] <ibrahimnajmi> derek try using the safe video mode
[06:44] <xtknight> oh yeah, that also
[06:44] <Derek__> I will try safe video mode
[06:44] <dabaR> Derek__: install the server version, that will give you a console for sure:)
[06:44] <dabaR> Derek__: try that for sure.
[06:44] <xtknight> i believe 'safe' is broken in edgy due to a bug.  it never uses vesa
[06:44] <xtknight> not sure
[06:44] <Derek__> heh, I"m trying to avoid another download if at all possible
[06:45] <Magilla_> ooh, it worked
[06:45] <Magilla_> crap, gtg
[06:45] <Derek__> I will try, I'll probably be back though
[06:45] <Derek__> thanks for the help
[06:45] <Magilla_> thanks xtknight
[06:45] <ibrahimnajmi> try safe video mode and it will work
[06:45] <xtknight> Magilla_, np
[06:45] <Magilla_> I'll bbl to finish fixing the issue
[06:45] <ibrahimnajmi> Dabar so wht next
[06:45] <madman91> what is the easiest way to go from dvd9 to dvd5 with menus and languages... (with transcoding)
[06:45] <eternal_p> i'm out...thanks again!
[06:45] <jeffwheeler> Nobody answered in #launchpad, so I'll ask here. Is it okay to just make an experimental project in Launchpad, or does it need to be an already-established project... is it okay to use it temporarily for personal tracking, I mean?
[06:45] <xtknight> !dvd::rip
[06:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dvd::rip - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:45] <xtknight> !info dvd::rip
[06:45] <aj_> Crazytom wait I have to log into this on my other system I am trying to run the wireless and the ethernet at the same time and it only found the ethernet sorry I will be back in a few
[06:45] <ubotu> dvdrip: perl front end for transcode. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:0.98.1-0.1ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 718 kB, installed size 2084 kB
[06:46] <xtknight> madman91, ^
[06:46] <Kendreague> Now that I've installed GTK 2.0 and candido, how do I go about adding a GTK theme? I dragged them onto the Theme window, but it tells me that they aren't valid
[06:46] <Crazytom> aj_, ok
[06:46] <madman91> xtknight: is it relatively easy?
[06:46] <xtknight> madman91, never used it
[06:46] <madman91> wat do you use?
[06:46] <xtknight> i don't really have any dvds
[06:46] <aj_> Crazytom no wait it found both hold on
[06:46] <xtknight> not a big movie watcher
[06:47] <dabaR> jeffwheeler: it is fine.
[06:47] <madman91> has anyone used dvd:rip?
[06:47] <jeffwheeler> dabaR: sweet, thanks
[06:47] <urthmover> whats this dvd thing you speak of?
[06:47] <urthmover> what IS a dvd?
[06:47] <blanky> xtknight: now it just says 'harddisk error' when selecting windows
[06:47] <dabaR> jeffwheeler: I am the authority on this ;-P But seriously, I am pretty sure I read that somewhere on their site.
[06:47] <blanky> but grub is installed and linux works
[06:48] <blanky> hey dont worry my friend doesn't mine reformatting
[06:48] <xtknight> blanky, ok now execute 'fixboot' on XP recovery console.  not FIXMBR though..
[06:48] <dabaR> what is the name of the samba admin utility?
[06:48] <blanky> xtknight: okay
[06:48] <xtknight> blanky, try fixboot.  if that fails, reformat xp
[06:48] <blanky> okay then
[06:48] <blanky> just fixboot, no args rght
[06:48] <xtknight> blanky, hmm, i think so
[06:48] <dabaR> smbpasswd, right.
[06:48] <urthmover> naw just run the repair function from a XP cd boot
[06:49] <xtknight> urthmover, he has to do sometihng rather specific (not destroy mbr but fix boot sector)
[06:49] <urthmover> dude f**kin w2k server is a bore....takes forever
[06:49] <aj_> Crazytom it doesnt give the chipset I was going to paste all the info in here but i got a flood kill warning
[06:49] <Crazytom> aj_, ok what chipset is it
[06:49] <urthmover> my bad xt   just throwing in cents
[06:49] <mon^rch> now THAT"S dedication: Ubuntu Supporting Windows
[06:49] <ibrahimnajmi> it just says shared folders here
[06:49] <Crazytom> aj_, please join #ubuntuflak
[06:50] <mzanfardino> ok, I've done something I've having a hard time undoing. Last night, when it was late, I was screwing around with launching a wine application in it's own instance of X.  Now whenever I execute wine or winecfg my X system resets.  I don't think this is a wine specific issue, but I will ask in #wine as well.  Is there something that could bind a command to another command?
[06:50] <xtknight> urthmover, it would just be a shame to have him lose data though.  problem is grub got on his bootsector :O
[06:50] <urthmover> am I able to get Active Directory tools "users and computers"  running under ubuntu....other than going the vmware and 2X application server route?
[06:50] <urthmover> agreed xt
[06:50] <xtknight> mzanfardino, #winehq actually ;P
[06:51] <madman91> is there an easy dvd ripper / burner in linux...
[06:51] <urthmover> has anyone actually ever published apps with 2X out of a vmware image in here?
[06:51] <mzanfardino> xtknight: yeah, that's what I meant
[06:51] <ardchoille> madman91: http://dvdshrink.sourceforge.net
[06:51] <xtknight> mzanfardino, i had the same problem
[06:51] <madman91> ardchoille: thanks
[06:51] <mzanfardino> xtknight: any idea of a command that could bind another command?  I thought I'd read something in the man last night refering to a TCL command, but I'll be damned if I remember what it was...
[06:51] <xtknight> mzanfardino, i think it was my kkernel and video drivier
[06:51] <ardchoille> madman91: You're welcome :)
[06:52] <mzanfardino> xtknight: hmmm...
[06:52] <xtknight> mzanfardino, a new version of wine conflicted with kernel or the video driver, or something, causing X to reset
[06:52] <xtknight> mzanfardino, damn can't remember
[06:52] <annihilus> anyone know why my taskbar in my panel isnt working, for instance starting gaim does not load an icon into my panel, the taskmenu appears if i click in the blank space, there is just no image
[06:52] <urthmover> oh I have a legit question....how do I get the monitor connected to this laptop to change refresh rates?
[06:52] <Brylie>  I just installed VirtualBox on Ubuntu and restarted my computer after verifying that I am in the group 'vboxusers' and I am still getting this error:
[06:52] <mzanfardino> xtknight: that's a great hint, as I upgraded wine to .34...
[06:52] <xtknight> mzanfardino, ya i think that was the screwy one for me
[06:52] <xtknight> Brylie, same here. i would love to know the answer
[06:52] <Brylie> ake sure that the current user has write permissions to /dev/vboxdrv by adding him to the vboxusers groups. Don't forget to logout to take the change effect.
[06:52] <Brylie>  how can I give myself write permission to the /dev/vboxdrv folder?
[06:52] <Brylie>  all that is listed under Filesystem is Home ane Media
[06:53] <xtknight> mzanfardino, bind another cmd?
[06:53] <xtknight> as in..
[06:53] <xtknight> ?
[06:53] <SeveredHead> Brylie: sudo chmod 0775 /dev/vboxdrv maybe?
[06:53] <Brylie> all that is listed under Filesystem is Home ane Media
[06:53] <Derek__> So I tried safe mode and the same thing happened
[06:53] <SeveredHead> I'm not sure on the numberic though..
[06:53] <SeveredHead> 0775 should be read/write for owner and group, and read for everyone else
[06:53] <Derek__> I wanted to try plugging my monitor into my my motherboard instead of my graphics card, but I don't have the correct cable with me
[06:53] <alucard> vlc player has this really lame green line across the bottom of the image
[06:53] <alucard> how do i correct that
[06:54] <Brylie> didn't work
[06:54] <Derek__> does anyone know of a way to boot the live CD with an ATI graphics card?
[06:54] <mzanfardino> xtknight: sorry, wish I could be more specific.  It was late and the only thing I remember clearly form the man page was a reference to TCL and I thought the command was bind, but that's not right, cause bind is for network interfaces... so I just can't recall
[06:54] <SeveredHead> Derek__: You can't boot it normally?
[06:55] <SeveredHead> Should work fine...
[06:55] <alucard> vlc player has this really lame green line across the bottom of the image
[06:55] <xtknight> mzanfardino, not even sure what you mean
[06:55] <SeveredHead> What's the error?
[06:55] <xtknight> mzanfardino, not sure what bind means relaly
[06:55] <mon^rch> alucard: i'M SURE IT'S THE VIDEO,,, HAPPEN ALL THE TIME WITH STUFF i DOWNLOAD
[06:55] <Derek__> SeveredHead: no I can't, my monitor just loses signal.  It's as if I unplugged it or shut it off
[06:55] <Brylie> VirtualBox kernel driver not accessible, permission problem. Make sure that the current user has write permissions to /dev/vboxdrv by adding him to the vboxusers groups.
[06:55] <mon^rch> ] oops sorry caps
[06:55] <ibrahimnajmi> any help with sharing folders with windows
[06:55] <Derek__> I see the splash screen, but after the load bar goes through, it turns black and says "no signal"
[06:56] <Derek__> I've tried changing the res, booting in safe graphics mode, and changing the res and booting in safe graphis at the same time
[06:56] <alucard> mon^rch: its not the video, other players dont do it
[06:56] <xtknight> alucard, try a differnet video output device in VLC
[06:56] <ardchoille> alucard: I was just about to say that mplayer doesn't do that.
[06:56] <mon^rch> alucard: then use a differnt player
[06:57] <mon^rch> :?
[06:57] <alucard> yah but mplayer randomly decided to take longer to load
[06:57] <mon^rch> :/
[06:57] <alucard> after i rebootee
[06:57] <ibrahimnajmi> Derek:ok this means there is an issu with the frequency settings
[06:57] <alucard> it takes like 30 seconds to load
[06:57] <Derek__> ibrahimnajmi: how do I go about fixing that on the live CD?
[06:57] <ibrahimnajmi> i am not sure about tht
[06:57] <alucard> like mplayer opens with its control window totally white
[06:58] <Brylie> actually there isn't a /dev/vboxdrive
[06:58] <ibrahimnajmi> derek: i not a linux user myself
[06:58] <intengu> video plays in totem but picture does not show have enabled desktop effects
[06:58] <urthmover> in synaptic...what are the win32 movie codecs called?
[06:58] <ardchoille> alucard: Y using mplayer from the repos with the default theme? Cuz my mplayer takes about 1.5 seconds to load.
[06:58] <ardchoille> urthmover: w32codecs ?
[06:58] <xtknight> urthmover, w32codecs usually but they are not in official repos
[06:58] <alucard> ardchoille: yah it was taking like 1.5 seconds to load before and after i rebooted because my shit crashed for no reason, mplayer takes a while to load now
[06:58] <ardchoille> !w32codecs
[06:58] <ubotu> Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages, including the win32 codecs: see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - See also !Codecs
[06:58] <Derek__> Can anyone offer any suggestions?  I really dont' want to just give up
[06:59] <xtknight> Derek__, alternate cd i'd haveto suggest
[06:59] <urthmover> thanks ubotu
[06:59] <mon^rch> nite, all... I'm pooped
[06:59] <xtknight> !thanks | ubotu
[06:59] <ubotu> ubotu: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[06:59] <alucard> ardchoille: how do i reinstall mplayer, that might help
[06:59] <xtknight> oops
[06:59] <Derek__> I've tried that before.. I've never been able to overcome this problem
[06:59] <xtknight> lol
[06:59] <Flannel> Derek__: Alternate CD shouldn't have any issue with any graphcis card.
[06:59] <Derek__> when I install with alternate and boot, I still see nothing
[06:59] <ardchoille> alucard: No idea, never had to re-install anything.. I've never seen an app crash in Dapper.
[06:59] <Derek__> or at least a release or so ago that's what happened
[07:00] <xtknight> Derek__, that's to be expected.  you have to modify xorg using recov mode
[07:00] <xtknight> alternate still puts the  default video driver in Xorg.conf despite being textmode installation, right?
[07:00] <Derek__> hm... that's something I'm not sure how to do.  It's annoying because i can't look at documentation while I"m doing it, heh
[07:00] <ibrahimnajmi> xtknight could u help me with my issue as well?
[07:00] <xtknight> ibrahimnajmi, maybe
[07:00] <xtknight> what is it?
[07:01] <ibrahimnajmi> well i want to share a folder with windows machine
[07:01] <xtknight> alucard, sudo apt-get --purge mplayer && sudo apt-get install mplayer
[07:01] <Flannel> Derek__: w3m is installed by default.  You can browse the web with it rather functionally
[07:01] <xtknight> alucard, anyhow did you try the diff VLC output video output
[07:01] <xtknight> alucard, different VLC video output device i mean
[07:01] <ibrahimnajmi> windows machine keeps askin me for username and pwd
[07:01] <Brylie> derek__ try xUbuntu perhaps?
[07:01] <Derek__> Flannel: even if I'm in recovery?
[07:01] <moginspace> Where can I find information about removing an entry from my dual boot list in Ubuntu?It shows two entries for Ubuntu and older version and a newer version, I just want to keep the newer version.
[07:01] <xtknight> ibrahimnajmi, did you look at the !samba page?
[07:02] <Derek__> Brylie: will xubuntu work with an ATI graphics card by default?
[07:02] <Flannel> Derek__: yeah, w3m is textmode.
[07:02] <ibrahimnajmi> !samba?
[07:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about samba? - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:02] <xtknight> !samba
[07:02] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[07:02] <newlaptop> !fglrx
[07:02] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:02] <xtknight> Derek__, *ubuntu will work the same . if your regular ubuntu does not boot properly, xubuntu wont either with your card.
[07:02] <alucard> what the fuck
[07:02] <xtknight> !language
[07:02] <suifur> ibrahimnajmi: do you need a samba howto?
[07:02] <alucard> nautilus just crashed
[07:02] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[07:02] <Flannel> moginspace: just remove the older kernels (through package management).  Their entries will be removed
[07:03] <Flannel> moginspace: Also, it's usually a good idea to keep one old kernel around, just in case
[07:03] <moginspace> I will try with synaptic now
[07:03] <Kendreague> Can someone tell me how to install a Candido theme?
[07:03] <newlaptop> !rfmon
[07:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rfmon - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:03] <Derek__> Is there a way to install Ubuntu directly from the livecd, or do I need to download the alternate?
[07:03] <xtknight> Kendreague, sure
[07:03] <xtknight> Kendreague, give me the url first
[07:03] <xtknight> Derek__, you can install from LiveCD via ubiquity, "Install" shortcut on the desktop
[07:03] <intengu> any idea on totem not showing picture when using desktop effects (video plays)
[07:04] <Kendreague> xtknight: Candido is here http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=41345 and I've followed all the instructions listed
[07:04] <Flannel> Derek__: If you can't get the liveCD to boot/display, then no.
[07:04] <xtknight> but ya
[07:04] <xtknight> ^^
[07:04] <Brylie> when the live cd first boots up, go to the VGA option and select a resolution that you know will work on your monitor, then when you let it run, instead of freezing up like it always does, it will kick you out to the prompt, which is better than nothing. Then you type in:
[07:04] <Brylie> sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:04] <bulmer> Derek__: try this option on the grub command line   video=vesafb
[07:04] <danjam> Ive installed Edgy eft to my laptop and put GRUB into the linux partition but the realtek boot agent automaticly loads windows xp when I startup, can anyone help?
[07:04] <ardchoille> How does one launch the s3m browser?
[07:04] <Derek__> just add that to the command line?
[07:04] <ardchoille> *w3m
[07:04] <suifur> ardchoille: from command line
[07:04] <Flannel> ardchoille: 'w3m'
[07:04] <bulmer> yes
[07:04] <suifur> its similar to lynx or links
[07:05] <Derek__> I'll give it a shot, thanks
[07:05] <Brylie> This is just a text editor, so just find the line that mentions the video driver "ATI" and change it to "radeon"
[07:05] <Brylie> Then save it, and when you're back at the prompt type in "startx" and your GUI should show up.
[07:05] <xtknight> Kendreague, have you installed the Theme Engine (library)?
[07:05] <xtknight> (gtk2-engines-candido_0.9-1_i386.deb)
[07:05] <ardchoille> Flannel: That returns as if I did 'w3m --usage'
[07:05] <xtknight> Kendreague, a theme engine is <not> a theme
[07:05] <Kendreague> I compiled from source
[07:05] <Flannel> ardchoille: w3m [url] 
[07:05] <xtknight> Kendreague, however it looks like he lists several themes
[07:05] <strtok> hey, anyone running feisty on a dell latitude 620?
[07:05] <suifur> ardchoille: w3m www.google.com
[07:05] <xtknight> Kendreague, alright.  what was your make install command
[07:05] <dustin> q
[07:05] <xtknight> !anyone | strtok
[07:05] <ubotu> strtok: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[07:05] <Derek__> I'll be back shorlty if it doesn't work
[07:05] <Kendreague> xtknight: I used the make command listed. I can't use i386, am on PPC.
[07:05] <strtok> ahah!
[07:05] <strtok> :D
[07:06] <strtok> i'm getting xorg errors on booting the boot disk
[07:06] <Kendreague> xtknight: I also have several themes downloaded, but I'm unsure how to use them.
[07:06] <ardchoille> suifur , Flannel Thanks
[07:06] <ardchoille> suifur: Hi again :)
[07:06] <xtknight> Kendreague, did the theme engine (*.so) get properly installed?  did you use a prefix of /usr during ./configure?
[07:06] <suifur> ardchoille: hullo again :) except im back on feisty this time lol
[07:06] <Kendreague> xtknight: Yes, i used the prefix
[07:06] <ardchoille> suifur: I will be too on April 19th
[07:06] <suifur> ardchoille: hehe i couldn't wait lol
[07:07] <xtknight> Kendreague, can you link me to the exact theme you want to install?
[07:07] <ardchoille> lol
[07:07] <Brylie> ake sure that the current user has write permissions to /dev/vboxdrv by adding him to the vboxusers groups. Don't forget to logout to take the change effect.
[07:07] <kylecasey> hey ardchoille
[07:07] <Brylie>  I just installed VirtualBox on Ubuntu and restarted my computer after verifying that I am in the group 'vboxusers' and I am still getting this error:
[07:07] <xtknight> Kendreague, or are they included somewhere i'm not seeing?  all i see right now is the driving engine
[07:07] <kylecasey> im back
[07:07] <suifur> ardchoille: besides, from ubuntu's history, betas are very close to releases in my experience
[07:07] <mzanfardino> xtknight: ok, just for the record, it had nothing to do with any hullucinations of a TCL bind command.  I was able to determin it was a video driver issue (I used glxgears and found x rebooted, which is a sure fire indicator), so I just rebuilt my driver into the kernel and away I'm going.
[07:07] <xtknight> mzanfardino, lol
[07:07] <Kendreague> xtknight: The themes all seem to have extracted with a "gtk-2.0" folder, and a file called gtkrc
[07:07] <mzanfardino> xtknight: thanks for the hints, they helped me focus on the correct course of action
[07:07] <xtknight> mzanfardino, TCL bind?  i still have no idea..
[07:07] <xtknight> :P
[07:07] <ardchoille> suifur: Yeah, I may install the beta before the 19th
[07:07] <kylecasey> i got everything to work so ive got sound for hl2 and the video is running ok thanks for everything
[07:07] <xtknight> mzanfardino, good to know though
[07:08] <mzanfardino> xtknight: neither do I.... clearly the delusions of a late night and low light.
[07:08] <Kendreague> xtknight: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Candido-DarkLime?content=43066
[07:08] <mzanfardino> xtknight: and no booze or other inhibitors... just plain old lack of sleep...
[07:08] <alucard> omg i hate mplayer
[07:08] <xtknight> Kendreague, ah k so Candido-DarkLime.tar.gz
[07:08] <mzanfardino> xtknight: anyway, just thought I'd let you know. Thanks again
[07:08] <Kendreague> xtknight: that's the one
[07:08] <xtknight> Kendreague, you drag that into gnome-theme manager?  what happens?
[07:08] <suifur> mmm brb
[07:08] <dustpyle> q
[07:09] <Kendreague> the file?
[07:09] <dustpyle> Q
[07:09] <xtknight> Kendreague, type gnome-theme-manager
[07:09] <dustpyle> f'ing quit
[07:09] <xtknight> Kendreague, proceed to drag&drop the .tar.gz from nautilus into the gnome-theme-manager
[07:09] <Flannel> dustpyle: /quit
[07:09] <Kendreague> xtknight: Bah. It works. I was looking too complicated, I didn't think to drag the archive.
[07:09] <xtknight> Kendreague, if you want to know the manual way i can tell you that
[07:10] <Kendreague> xtknight: thanks =] 
[07:10] <dustpyle> ya but i dont wanna exit. i just wanna get rid of this stupid help dialog lol
[07:10] <xtknight> Kendreague, ~/.themes or /usr/share/themes/
[07:10] <alucard> how do i change what vlc outputs to
[07:10] <Flannel> dustpyle: which help dialog?
[07:10] <Kendreague> xtknight: I'll keep that in mind
[07:10] <xtknight> Kendreague, must use /usr/share/themes or also install into /root/.themes if you want root apps themed properly (e.g. synaptic, gedit)
[07:10] <Assimilator> is there an place that will tell me what media players wil conflict with one another
[07:10] <xtknight> Assimilator, none conflict
[07:10] <dustpyle> i'm using ircii (text based) and typed /help. and now it say "Help?" in my prompt and it's bugging me
[07:10] <cables> Assimilator, why would media players conflict with each other?
[07:11] <xtknight> codecs can conflict.  but mostly only on windows.  on linux everything uses ffmpeg anyway
[07:11] <Flannel> dustpyle: irssi? or ircii?
[07:11] <dustpyle> ircii
[07:11] <alucard> how do i change what vlc outputs to
[07:11] <Assimilator> hmmm
[07:11] <Derek__> video=vesafb didn't work, so I guess I have to do the alternate install?
[07:11] <xtknight> alucard, it is in the preferences but i dont know offhand.  youll have to look
[07:11] <xtknight> alucard, 'video output' and then you can try gl output
[07:11] <Assimilator> i'm having trobble getting some players with audio
[07:12] <qfour20> !kernel source
[07:12] <ubotu> To install the Linux (kernel) headers, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) To install headers for libraries, you need the accompanying -dev packages
[07:12] <cables> alucard, Settings>Preferences>Video>Output Modules (you have to check off "advanced options")
[07:12] <mwe> Is it normal for the gnome menu to take about 10 to 15 seconds to open the first time you use it in a session?
[07:12] <Assimilator> and in particular playing from a ms networked drive
[07:12] <Kendreague> xtknight: Synaptic looks themed to me, by dragging.
[07:12] <xtknight> mwe, not really. ~2sec here
[07:12] <cables> Assimilator, playing from a Samba drive is a different issue
[07:12] <mwe> xtknight: hmm. annoying
[07:13] <Assimilator> with most of the cases it seems to crash the player
[07:13] <ice_cream> hi.. i have this strange cpu prob.. whenever i run some intensive process, all the cpu goes to that process, and it basically slows everything down
[07:13] <alucard> ok that worked dude
[07:13] <aabrahao> hi, anyone knows how install vmware tools in ubuntu server with kde?
[07:13] <xtknight> anyone else have firefox crash after applying a new theme?
[07:13] <unikuser> ice_cream: what is the kind of task that you run?
[07:14] <Brylie>  I just installed VirtualBox on Ubuntu and restarted my computer after verifying that I am in the group 'vboxusers' and I am still getting this error:
[07:14] <unikuser> you can try renicing the process
[07:14] <Brylie> ake sure that the current user has write permissions to /dev/vboxdrv by adding him to the vboxusers groups.
[07:14] <amonkey> is there some way i can check what's accessing my harddrive at a gfiven time? myt hd led is on all the time, and i want to know whats up
[07:14] <Gartral> ok, i have a problem, i have KDE installed... but my system wont load it....
[07:14] <xtknight> !nice
[07:14] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[07:14] <xtknight> hmm
[07:14] <ice_cream> unikuser, doesnt really matter, really..   iirc it did this w/ bt sometimes, esp when a file was completed and getting verified; atm copying over a 3.5 gig directory
[07:14] <Brylie> there is no folder /dev/vboxdrv
[07:15] <Derek__> I actually still have my alternate disk, can someone tell me the process for installing the alternate way, then fixing the drivers?
[07:15] <ice_cream> i just want to blame ubuntu for this =P
[07:15] <Assimilator> amarok, kaffine, gxine all crash when i try and launch and mp3 off a share
[07:15] <xtknight> ice_cream, you need a tickless kernel, probably
[07:15] <unikuser> do you have dma enabled?
[07:16] <Brylie> derek__ it's about the same as the live cd isntall
[07:16] <xtknight> if you don't want I/O to use so much cpu.  or enable DMA if it isn't already.
[07:16] <ice_cream> "tickless" ?
[07:16] <xtknight> improves multitasking a bit
[07:17] <Gartral> ok, i have a problem, i have KDE installed... but my system wont load it....

[07:17] <Derek__> My real concern is getting a console if I can't boot and see anything
[07:17] <annihilus> im having a problem involving my gnome-panel, i at some point must have deleted the task icon for gaim and now it does not show the icon when it is running, i can still click where it should be, just no graphic, any ideas please
[07:18] <ice_cream> does killall gnome-panel force it to reload? i forget
[07:18] <Gartral> yes
[07:18] <xtknight> ice_cream, should
[07:18] <annihilus> so try that then?
[07:18] <ice_cream> you could try that then, annihilus
[07:18] <annihilus> thanks
[07:18] <bulmer> Derek__: you ever tried ctl+f2 while this thing is booting and you dont see the graphical?
[07:18] <Epic720> by opinion, what is the best FTP server program?

[07:20] <bulmer> you can at least try
[07:20] <anil> hey
[07:21] <PoofDaddy> Screencapturing small windows instead of the whole screen.  How can I?
[07:21] <eexpress> hi, if anyone used mldonkey_submit?
[07:21] <Gartral> ctrl printscreen
[07:21] <BlackDalek> this is probably a simple question, but how do I browse one PC from another PC? Both PC's running ubuntu. I know the name and IP address of the PC I am trying to access, but how do I do that?
[07:21] <annihilus> when it restarted it just shows a brown line of vertical pixels where the icon should be
[07:21] <PoofDaddy> Gartrald: that's the same as windows, right?
[07:21] <jpsamara> what is mldonley_submit ?
[07:21] <eexpress> if anyone used mldonkey_submit? the perl' parser. seems not work
[07:21] <eexpress> ed2k parser. jpsamara
[07:22] <Epic720> I should rephrase this, what is the best FREE ftp server program?
[07:22] <qfour20> ok, how on earth do i get the 2.6.11 kernel sources using apt?
[07:22] <barata> ls
[07:22] <xtknight> qfour20, 2.6.11?  i dont think that's in the repos
[07:22] <asdx> what happens if you remove gnome from ubuntu, does it remove firefox, open office and all that too?
[07:22] <xtknight> qfour20, do you perhaps mean 2.6.17-11, the Edgy kernel?
[07:22] <Brylie> I'm having trouble getting VirtualBox to work properly.  It says: "You are not a member of the "vboxusers" group." Yes I am, I restarted too. "Make sure that the current user has write permissions to /dev/vboxdrv"  There is no /dev/vboxdrv  any suggestions?
[07:22] <asdx> i read before from a user saying that
[07:22] <barata> I need to fix the dead Alt-F2 shortcut in gnome ... how to do that?
[07:22] <PoofDaddy> Gartral: how do I paste it on the desktop?
[07:23] <joebob777as7> BlackDalek: i don't know i've always wondered that! windows seems so easy to do it but windows to linux can't figure that out either
[07:23] <annihilus> xtknight, its just showing a single vertical line of pixels now, but nothing else gained
[07:23] <xtknight> asdx, gnome-desktop is a pseudo package.  remove it and nothing happens
[07:23] <EADG> vsftpd is free, pretty easy to set up too.
[07:23] <qfour20> xtknight: how do install 2.6.10 sources?
[07:23] <eexpress> i want mldonkey_submit works.....
[07:23] <annihilus> xtknight, any other ideas
[07:23] <barata> the shortcut is there ... and if I click on the icon it runs ... but if I trigger it with Alt-F2 it is dead
[07:23] <xtknight> qfour20, 2.6.10 or 2.6.11?
[07:23] <barata> why?
[07:23] <asdx> xtknight: huh, nothing happens?
[07:23] <eexpress> all men here need not ed2k?
[07:23] <xtknight> annihilus, the one with VLC problems?
[07:23] <PoofDaddy> Gartral: It doesn't allow me to.  I must nnot bne doing it correctly.
[07:23] <aabrahao> hi, anyone knows how install vmware tools in ubuntu server with kde?
[07:23] <jpsamara> bryle> any place has virtualbox opensource .deb files? the ones in virtualbox are the non free version
[07:23] <xtknight> asdx, correct, as far as i know
[07:23] <qfour20> xtknight I'm currently running 2.6.11, but whichever one would be easier
[07:24] <annihilus> xtknight, i was having probs with the gnome panel
[07:24] <xtknight> qfour20, well what are you trying to do ?
[07:24] <asdx> xtknight: how do you only remove gnome then
[07:24] <xtknight> annihilus, ohh
[07:24] <qfour20> xtknight i want to apply the rfmon patches against the orinoco driver
[07:24] <xtknight> asdx, hm dont know
[07:24] <xtknight> qfour20, and what kernel are you running now
[07:24] <xtknight> annihilus, dont know. sorry
[07:24] <qfour20> xtknight 2.6.11
[07:24] <Brylie> jpsamara: do you need it for non personal use?
[07:24] <xtknight> qfour20, and what distro of ubuntu?
[07:25] <annihilus> xtknight, any idea where the icon would be stored

[07:26] <annihilus> xtknight, tried that using synaptic, is there a specific way you knwo thats better
[07:27] <xtknight> annihilus, uhhh..."sudo dpkg --force-all --purge gaim && sudo apt-get install gaim" i guess.  that may purge personal settings and logs though
[07:27] <xtknight> annihilus, and i doubt it will fix the problem
[07:27] <qfour20> xtknight don't need the kernel, just the sources to build the drivers.  but thank you again.  by the way, what is the command to search through apt for a package name?  something similar to "emerge --search kernel"?

[07:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about imagemagick - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:35] <melol2> I just got ubuntu. I want to find some great apps.
[07:35] <EADG> Best app? Screen. :)
[07:35] <Flannel> Kendreague: oh.  Then, get rid of the cdrom from your repositories.  There's no need.
[07:35] <xtknight> well PoofDaddy google imagemagick i think

 without the vmware tool the resolution is 640x480, what Can I do?
[07:35] <Kendreague> Flannel: okay
[07:35] <Flannel> Kendreague: refresh your package cache, then try reinstalling
[07:36] <xtknight> aabrahao, actually i think ubuntu has a vmware Xorg driver
[07:36] <joebob777as7> melol2: jbidwatcher, gimpshop
[07:36] <xtknight> aabrahao, it is called "vmware" i think, in xorg.conf?  if not, try these
[07:36] <jpsamara> Do you guys think Feisty will be much better than edgy?

[07:36] <xtknight> jpsamara, i think so
[07:37] <jpsamara> xtknight: using it already?
[07:37] <xtknight> sure thing.
[07:37] <Flannel> Kendreague: oh.  Sorry. I misread your original error.  heh.  Ok, do... sudo apt-get clean, that'll clear your package cache.  Tehn try reinstalling
[07:37] <xtknight> no command line needed to get 3D on my nvidia
[07:37] <xtknight> or play mp3s
[07:37] <jpsamara> xtknight: I'm waiting for the official to come 19tth
[07:37] <ton1> i just had to do a fresh reinstall can sombody throw me the line of code to install beryl?
[07:38] <Flannel> ton1: #ubuntu-effects can
[07:38] <xtknight> !beryl
[07:38] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[07:38] <Varsendaggr> hey i want6 to graphically mount my disk...   dapper had a great disk managment tool but edgy doesn't seem to....    is there one....?
[07:38] <Kendreague> Flannel: Okay thanks
[07:38] <xtknight> Varsendaggr, they removed it for reasons i can't fathom
 what version support vmware tools?
[07:38] <Kendreague> Flannel: No go, same error
[07:39] <Varsendaggr> xtknight, is there a package that i can apt-get that will do somehitntng like that?
[07:39] <zammit> hello! i've been trying to get my hauppauge pvr 150 tv tuner to work for the past few hours - i just get straight up static - could someone help me please?
[07:39] <Flannel> Kendreague: fun.  Well, that means we'll actually have to do some real problem solving.  Figure out what the error is and stuff.  Does that error give any more information?
[07:39] <Brylie> I'm having trouble getting VirtualBox to work properly.  It says: "You are not a member of the "vboxusers" group." Yes I am, I restarted too. "Make sure that the current user has write permissions to /dev/vboxdrv"  There is no /dev/vboxdrv  any suggestions?
[07:39] <xtknight> Varsendaggr, sorry not that i know f
[07:39] <xtknight> of*
[07:39] <aramilmoonmist> im having problems with my wireless card, it can connect to networks fine, but on kismet it cant read a bunch of statistics, like the range, nor can i read my own mac adress
[07:39] <PoofDaddy> xtknight: i see imagemagick installed on synaptic, but I don't know how to access it.
[07:40] <Alysum> hi where can I edit the password for vino via terminal ?
[07:40] <Alysum> cannt find a file to edit
[07:40] <xtknight> PoofDaddy, type "dpkg -L imagemagick"  it may give you a clue
[07:40] <Kendreague> Flannel: I suppose I should tell you that I'm on PPC, for starters. Nothing else is given, it just tells me that the package has unmet dependancies, then tells me that it depends on ndiswrapper-utils-1.1, but it is not installable. Then says "E: Broken packages"
[07:41] <dxjamp> hola
[07:41] <Flannel> Kendreague: right. fun.  Uh, go ahead and try updating, see what errors it gives
[07:41] <dxjamp> sabe alguien como activar la aceleracin 3D en ubuntu 6.10? mi targeta es una xpress200 integrada , ya lo intente de varias formas pero no puedo
[07:41] <Flannel> Kendreague: er, upgrading, sorry.
[07:41] <xtknight> PoofDaddy, type "man convert"
[07:41] <xtknight> !es | dxjamp
[07:41] <ubotu> dxjamp: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[07:41] <Flannel> !es | dxjamp
[07:41] <Kendreague> Flannel: What do you mean upgrading?
[07:41] <Alysum> any VINO experts here pls ?
[07:41] <dxjamp> ok
[07:41] <Flannel> Kendreague: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[07:41] <xtknight> Alysum, vino-preferences brings up the dialog.  conf file is probably something like xvnc
[07:42] <Kendreague> Flannel: Okay. I typed in upgrade, and that's 208 meg of upgrades. I'm doing the "update" first
[07:42] <aramilmoonmist> can anyone help me with a kismet issue im having?
[07:42] <PoofDaddy> xtknight: i use GIMP to do the simple conversion from png to jpg and to reduce the quality.  HOwever, it is rather onerous to do it this way.  Is you method better?
[07:42] <xtknight> PoofDaddy, imagemagick can do them in batches i think..at least with the help of bash it can
[07:43] <PoofDaddy> xtknight: you mean it can do it with multiple files?
[07:44] <mds> hi, im trying to install ubuntu edgy on my laptop, i downloaded and burnt the alternate cd because its only 128mb of ram, and when i go to install my screen goes all fuzzy and askew, anyone know what the problem could be?
[07:44] <Kendreague> Flannel: the upgrade is going to be about one and a half hours
[07:44] <xtknight> PoofDaddy, yea
[07:44] <Flannel> Kendreague: eh?  Odd.  No broken package errors?  Interesting.
[07:44] <xtknight> PoofDaddy, "convert file1.png file1.jpg"   "convert file2.png file2.jpg" or whatever
[07:45] <Kendreague> Flannel: Nope, no errors
[07:45] <PoofDaddy> xtknight: i'll play around with it.  I need to give an email with a lot of images and want to keep it less than 1MB in its entirety.
[07:45] <aramilmoonmist> anyone know anything about kismet?
[07:46] <melol2> What can I use to play MMS streams?
[07:46] <Crazytom> aramilmoonmist, check in #kismet they are really helpful in there
[07:46] <aramilmoonmist> crazytom: thanks, didnt know the channel existed
[07:47] <melol2> What can I use to play MMS streams?
[07:47] <ammiel> hello, what can i use to edit menu entries on gnome (like what the shortcuts execute)?
[07:47] <melol2> like mms://blah
[07:47] <melol2> ?
[07:47] <SeveredHead> Mplayer maybe?
[07:47] <zammit> mms is that a microsoft stream?
[07:48] <melol2> I dunno i think
[07:48] <joebob777as7> how do you change file association in kubuntu?
[07:48] <SeveredHead> Yes, mms is a microsoft stream.
[07:48] <Assim> why do shared folders take so long to load in edgy?
[07:48] <zammit> melol2: i think so to, did  you try searching synaptic under description for "mms" ?
[07:49] <cafuego_> multimediastream
[07:49] <cafuego_> vlc will do it easy
[07:49] <aramilmoonmist> theres no one in the #kismet channel ><
[07:49] <EADG> joebob777as7: in Konquer go Settings --> Configure Konquer --> File Associaions
[07:50] <aj_> Crazytom what hapened as soon as you told me to turn off my wep key my system freaked out
[07:50] <Prez_> hello... what is the file where I define what modules are unloaded when my laptop suspends?
[07:50] <aabrahao>  what version off ubuntu support vmware tools?
[07:50] <MrDrake> KILL | vmware
[07:51] <Derek__> so I installed with the alternate disk.  Can I get a link to the ATI driver instructions again please?
[07:51] <Prez_> i need to specify the modules that I want unloaded before machine suspends
[07:51] <Prez_> where do i do that?
[07:51] <joebob777as7> EADG: thanks
[07:51] <SeveredHead> !ati > Derek__
[07:51] <SeveredHead> Check the PM from ubotu
[07:51] <Derek__> thank you
[07:51] <Derek__> I can do this from recovery?
[07:52] <Crazytom> aj_, did you turn off the wep (temporarily) on your router?
[07:52] <SeveredHead> Derek__: Uh, you should be able to do the installation.
[07:52] <SeveredHead> Since it's all commandline tools.
[07:53] <Derek__> Alright, sounds good
[07:53] <aj_> Crazytom I turned it back on cause you like disapeared after that
[07:53] <mds> hi, im trying to install ubuntu edgy on my laptop, i downloaded and burnt the alternate cd because its only 128mb of ram, and when i go to install my screen goes all fuzzy and askew, anyone know what the problem could be?
[07:53] <tues> can anybody please suggest how to make firefox less cpu strain or an alt for webbrowseing so digg isnt so slow
[07:54] <Crazytom> aj_, i'm still in that room, i've been waiting this whole time
[07:54] <zbrown> tues: swiftfox?
[07:54] <tues> swift fox eh?
[07:54] <Warbo> tues: Maybe try Swiftfox, Epiphany, or if you're really stuck for cycles then maybe dillo
[07:54] <test> Can I upgrade ubuntu6.06 to ubuntu6.10 from network directly?
[07:54] <zbrown> tues: its optimized firefox
[07:54] <Flannel> !upgrade | test, yep
[07:54] <ubotu> test, yep: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[07:55] <tues> ok i will give it a try thank you
[07:55] <Madpilot> tues, Opera is sometimes lighter than FF
[07:56] <test> After I upgrade ubuntu5.10 to ubuntu6.06, what should I do to get the current ubuntu version?
[07:56] <Warbo> test: Just upgrade one version at a time until you get as new as you want (either 6.10 or the latest 7.04 beta if that' what you're after)
[07:57] <Warbo> test: Ubotu sent you a link above, just go through that
[07:58] <ton1> how would i see that i have the newest nvida drivers installed?
[07:58] <aj_> Crazytom it shows me as the only one in there now
[07:58] <Rio79> i have a motherboard with integrated video with 1GB memory, added a video card with 256 memory for the svideo output, and now the graphics seem slower.  i even added the nvidia-glx package.... is there something im missing?
[07:59] <Warbo> Rio79: When you say you installed the package, did you set X to actually use the driver?
[07:59] <Assim> is there any reason why shared folders take so long to load in edgy file browser?
[07:59] <Rio79> Warbo> i just went to synaptic package manager and marked it for installation.... no good?
[08:00] <Warbo> !nvidia > Rio79
[08:00] <Warbo> Rio79: That should help
[08:00] <Rio79> oh okay, thanks Warbo!
[08:01] <Crazytom> aj_, i'm there
[08:02] <glyn> good evening, my friends
[08:02] <Supaplex> the heck with installing nvidia drivers.
[08:02] <Warbo> mornin'
[08:02] <glyn> does anyone know of an Ubuntu (Dapper) package that automatically detects digital still cameras?
[08:03] <ton1> how would i install the newest nvida drivers?
[08:03] <Warbo> !nvidia
[08:03] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:03] <glyn> anyone have an idea?
[08:03] <salty> are there any broadcasting web streaming apps out there for shoutcast
[08:03] <annihilus> xtknight, hey again, i was the one having gaim icon problems, reinstalling ubuntu-desktop packg fixedd it, thanks for the help
[08:03] <xtknight> annihilus, very interesting because that package doesnt contain any files
[08:04] <xtknight> annihilus, at least as far as i know :O
[08:04] <Warbo> glyn: If it isn't detected by default, not even as a generic storae device, then I don't know sorry
[08:04] <glyn> I think it does detect it as a generic storage device
[08:04] <glyn> it used to detect fine on Breezy
[08:04] <glyn> but for some reason won't now
[08:05] <Warbo> glyn: Have you been in the System>Preferences>Media/Storage thingie (I forget its exact name)?
[08:05] <xtknight> disk manager?
[08:05] <salty> campcaster doesn't stream to the web...idjc sounds aweful and gnump3d isn't what i'm looking for and the xmms plugin is for icecast
[08:05] <Warbo> Removable Drives and Media I think it is
[08:06] <glyn> warbo:I'm not sure but I can check
[08:06] <mds> hi, im trying to install ubuntu edgy on my laptop, i downloaded and burnt the alternate cd because its only 128mb of ram, and when i go to install my screen goes all fuzzy and askew, anyone know what the problem could be? (http://i3.tinypic.com/2hd2q12.jpg screenshot of laptop)
[08:06] <glyn> Warbo: don't see anything like that
[08:06] <Warbo> oh. Maybe an Edgy thing :(
[08:06] <EADG> I'm bored. Any recommendations for good cli programs I can install & learn?
[08:06] <xtknight> disk manager is only in Dapper actually

[08:08] <EADG> Hehe, bb, looks fun.
[08:08] <eshaase> i'm trying to setup my ati drivers on a ubuntu feisty installation and i get the following in my /var/log/Xorg.0.log: [drm]  failed to load kernel module "fglrx"... any ideas?
[08:08] <xtknight> hmm
[08:08] <Epic720> I need help configuring proftpd, does anyone know a good site?
[08:08] <EADG> I'm on it.
[08:08] <Brylie> !proftpd

[08:08] <Kab00m> i'm trying to follow these instructions that say to modify /boot/grub/menu.lst. But I'm installing from CD, so am I supposed to modify it before burning the cd
[08:08] <Kab00m> ?
[08:09] <salty> dang... i'm gonna have to put winblows back on this box
[08:09] <Brylie> for shoutcast salty?
[08:10] <salty> yes
[08:10] <Warbo> Kab00m: The CD doesn't use GRUB to boot, so I'm assuming you are trying to change/fix your hard drive's boot, in which case write a live/install CD then do it from there with a text editor
[08:10] <ardchoille> salty: Open a term and type: apt-cache search shoutcast
[08:11] <salty> ok
[08:11] <aabrahao> does version ubuntu-6.06.1-server-i386.iso supports vmware tools?
[08:12] <Prez_> is there anyone here who can spare me a couple of minutes with snd_intel_hda card not working after a resume from hibernate?
[08:12] <Kab00m> Warbo: I thought this .iso was an install, but it booted to a desktop.  Has Ubuntu combined the Live discs with the Install discs now?
[08:12] <salty> the live-ice plugin for xmms didn't send the strem to a shoutcast server
[08:12] <Warbo> Kab00m: Yes, since 6.06
[08:12] <Prez_> i am trying to figure out how to unload all snd modules before hibernation
[08:12] <Prez_> but don't seem to be working
[08:13] <Warbo> Kab00m: the text-based one is now called the "Alternate CD" and is useful for systems that can't run the desktop CD
[08:13] <Madpilot> Kab00m, yup. There's an "Install" icon on the desktop
[08:13] <Kab00m> Madpilot: Yeah, I was surprised to see it
[08:13] <Brylie> salty: what about icecast?
[08:14] <Brylie> ooh
[08:14] <Kab00m> These instructions also say to run "sudo update-grub" and then reboot.  How do I interpret that in this environment?
[08:14] <Derek__> I'm very close now.. I can get to the login screen, but this is embarrassing.  For whatever reason my login/password won't work.  Is there a way to make a new user account in recovery mode?
[08:15] <salty> Brylie i have been asked to broadcast and they use shoutcast server
[08:15] <Warbo> Kab00m: You should be mounting your / drive somewhere, maybe bind /dev to the /dev of your HD install, then using chroot to enter your system
[08:15] <Brylie> salty: try darkice
[08:15] <Warbo> (as far as I can figure it)
[08:15] <Derek__> It seems like there should be a way to do it without reinstalling the operating system
[08:16] <sacater> what is chroot?
[08:16] <salty> i like the way idjc is set up but i don't want to recompile my kernel so it won't sound like crap
[08:16] <sacater> !language salty
[08:16] <Warbo> chroot changes / to somewhere else, and since pretty much everything in Ubuntu is a file it effectively switches to a different install
[08:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about language salty - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:17] <sacater> !language| salty
[08:17] <ubotu> salty: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[08:17] <salty> darkice is command-line?
[08:17] <Derek__> can someone tell me if there is a way to make new user accounts in recovery mode?
[08:17] <Kab00m> Warbo: This Dell is running HW Raid-0.  Install fails at 89%.  I thought the RAID problems were fixed with 6.10, but does this call for "pollirq"?
[08:18] <Warbo> Kab00m: No idea sorry
[08:18] <Kab00m> thx
[08:18] <salty> !darkice
[08:18] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about darkice - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:18] <Warbo> Kab00m: I avoided HD problems by upgrading to Edgy (Dapper didn't support the SATA in my laptop)
[08:18] <glyn> how do I tar something properly?
[08:18] <Warbo> I know LVM, but not RAID
[08:18] <eshaase> how can i get more information regarding the "FATAL: Error running install command for fglrx" error message i get when i try to do a 'sudo modprobe fglrx'?
[08:18] <glyn> is it sudo tar -xvfz then the name?
[08:19] <melol2> What can I use to play MMS streams? The audio. Not video
[08:19] <zbrown> glyn: tar -jcvf blah.tar.bz2 blah/
[08:19] <Kab00m> Warbo: Hmm, I can run Breezy fine, but not Edgy yet
[08:19] <Warbo> tar -cf <filename.tar> <thing to tar>
[08:19] <sacater> melol2: xmms works with some
[08:19] <salty> glyn '-x' option is for extracting
[08:19] <sacater> melol2: steamtuner is better though
[08:19] <Brylie> salty: in synaptic search darkice
[08:20] <salty> ok
[08:20] <glyn> tar: Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive
[08:20] <zbrown> glyn: gotta have somethign in the folder you're tar'ing
[08:20] <rgvguplb> are you trying to extract or create an archive?
[08:20] <Kab00m> Warbo: Is there a new way to use Kernel parms in Edgy?
[08:20] <glyn> extract
[08:21] <glyn> I just downloaded camera.app for breezy and it's in tar format
[08:21] <rgvguplb> well then x for extract
[08:21] <Warbo> "tar -cf MyBackup.tar /home" will bak up /home for example
[08:21] <rgvguplb> like tar xvf mytarball.tar
[08:21] <Brylie> salty: make sure that your synaptic universe repository is enabled
[08:21] <rgvguplb> the '-' is optional for tar
[08:21] <salty> they are and a few extra ones
[08:21] <glyn> hmm not working
[08:22] <aabrahao>  does version ubuntu-6.06.1-server-i386.iso supports vmware tools?
[08:22] <Warbo> glyn: No need to tell tar whether to use gzip/bzip2 or not, it can tell what to use. You just need tar xf <filename>
[08:22] <LGKeiz> lol Ubuntu sorta messed up my partition :P
[08:22] <LGKeiz> oh well
[08:22] <LGKeiz> not really it's fault..
[08:22] <rgvguplb> does your tar file have some extension other than tar? maybe tgz?
[08:22] <LGKeiz> Wanted to format anywas
[08:22] <LGKeiz> XD
[08:22] <glyn> tar.gz
[08:22] <melol2> sacater, link to steamtuner?
[08:22] <salty> glyn 'tar xvf <file.tar>
[08:22] <rgvguplb> okay, maybe tar zxvf mytarball.tgz
[08:23] <sacater> melol2: steam or stream, should be in multiverse
[08:23] <glyn> tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
[08:24] <glyn> hmm not working
[08:24] <megamax> umm
[08:24] <megamax> server irc.hanirc.org
[08:24] <Warbo> glyn: Sounds like it isn't complete, like a download borked out before finishing
[08:24] <Warbo> EOF = End Of File
[08:25] <rgvguplb> can you verify if it downloaded correctly?
[08:25] <rgvguplb> that is, completely?
[08:26] <rgvguplb> is that a gzipped file that's been tarred, or a tarred file that's been gzipped?
[08:26] <budluva> anyone here using broadcom wireless? i've gotten my laptop to connect to my router, but speeds are like molasses
[08:26] <tues> this is rediculous how do you install swiftfox?
[08:26] <glyn> yeah this whole cameara is kinda ridiculous and I don't really have the time to mess with it right now
[08:26] <budluva> seems like the connection is dropping or something, but when it works, im getting like less than 1k/sec
[08:26] <budluva> i used bcm43xx-fwcutter and let it search for the right firmware, and it works, just slow, any ideas?
[08:27] <rgvguplb> you know, it might not even be a tar file at all, but a gzipped file
[08:27] <Crazytom> budluva, i am
[08:27] <joebob777as7> hey i want to run a script at every logon can someone help me?
[08:27] <Crazytom> budluva, what chipset do you have
[08:28] <rgvguplb> in which case, gunzip myfile.gz might work
[08:28] <EADG> bb demo is done, reminded me of old group intros... and the music, what was that? Old .mod files? Now I gota go make some pretty aa for ssh & ftp login. Thanks Warbo.
[08:29] <budluva> Crazytom: its a broadcom 4318 airforce one 54g rev 02

[08:32] <budluva> fwcutter? or bcm43xx-fwcutter?
[08:32] <phewl> hello, i have just reinstalled grub so i can get back onto my ubuntu, i installed windows xp just to see if it was the ati drivers that sucked or if it was my card, anyway its just not the same ubuntu i left, maybe its loading an older kernel ? i have none of my /home files that were here anyone got a clue?
[08:32] <Crazytom> budluva, have you checked out the fwcutter page?  it says that bcm 4318 is unstable
[08:32] <Crazytom> budluva, they are the same thing
[08:32] <pii0> Hello everyone
[08:33] <phewl> hi =] 
[08:33] <budluva> berlios you mean?
[08:33] <budluva> that the page you are refering to?
[08:33] <Crazytom> budluva, you should try using ndiswrapper
[08:33] <Crazytom> budluva, yes
[08:33] <DraconPern> anyone here have experience with canonical paid support?
[08:33] <pii0> I have a question about mpd. The package in the general ubuntu repos does not come with AAC (m4a) support. Is there another repo around that I could use, or some other workaround (preferably not compiling from source, though)
[08:34] <HyperNexus> I am just wondering what is my ~/.rpmmacros file?
[08:34] <EADG> melol2: I'm listening to that stream. open a terminal and type 'mplayer <paste url here>'
[08:34] <kalin> hi, i have a ntfs partition mounted and would like to search for a file in in. locate doesnt seem to index these partitions, is there some equivalent i can use for a specific set of directories?
[08:34] <melol2> eadg, I dont have mplayer.
[08:34] <budluva> Crazytom: you have a link for a GOOD ndiswrapper howto? i remember trying ndis in edgy, and i dont think i got it working
[08:35] <dbody> hi
[08:35] <rgvguplb> kalin, could you use find maybe?
[08:35] <aj_> Crazytom thanks man sorry about all the confusion
[08:35] <kalin> rgvguplb: i'll check it out, thanks
[08:36] <EADG> melol2: sudo apt-get install mplayer  will set you up.
[08:36] <Crazytom> budluva, please join #ubuntuflak
[08:36] <salty> kalin i use whereis command
[08:36] <rgvguplb> you can cd to the directory, then go find . -name filetofind
[08:37] <kalin> running a find -iname now, thx :)
[08:37] <Xenguy> -iname performs a case insensitive search
[08:38] <melol2> tthanks eadg
[08:38] <jpsamara> can anyone play web .asf videos with mplayer
[08:38] <dbody> does anyone have beryl installed on 6.10?
[08:38] <phewl> hello, i have just reinstalled grub so i can get back onto my ubuntu, i installed windows xp just to see if it was the ati drivers that sucked or if it was my card, anyway its just not the same ubuntu i left, maybe its loading an older kernel ? i have none of my /home files that were here anyone got a clue?
[08:38] <EADG> melol2: working?

[08:39] <EADG> :) Where is this station?
[08:39] <jpsamara> result I cant watch a thing :(
[08:39] <Flannel> phewl: loading an older kernel wouldn't do that.  The only... thing that could is if you had two linux installs or whatever.  And it's using the other

[08:53] <Prez_> arashf: Ubuntu catching on at MIT?
[08:53] <arashf> haha
[08:53] <arashf> I think a lot of debian kids
[08:53] <arashf> are switching over
[08:53] <f50fan> i have linux installed but want to dual boot it and windows. hardness level?
[08:53] <Prez_> arashf: i was at a conference there, for emerging technologies, it was all windows...
[08:54] <arashf> dude, what?
[08:54] <Xenguy> Prez_: gag me with a spoon =)
[08:54] <arashf> 95% of our network is unix
[08:54] <Prez_> arashf: just checking to see if you're awake
[08:54] <arashf> as far as I know :-p
[08:54] <arashf> hahah
[08:55] <kupesoft> f50fan: 3252/14223!
[08:55] <kupesoft> f50fan: Just install windows, then rollback your old MBR record
[08:56] <kupesoft> f50fan: One command before the windows install, one after
[08:56] <f50fan> mind telling me the commands :D?
[08:56] <kupesoft> f50fan: Just make sure you don't mess up your Ubuntu partition. You can resize it with a live CD
[08:56] <Prez_> arashf: are the Technology review guys any good?
[08:56] <Prez_> arashf: thinking of subscribing to mag
[08:57] <kupesoft> f50fan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mbr#Backing_up_the_MBR
[08:57] <arashf> haha, uhh, I never read it =P
[08:57] <arashf> but, maybe!
[08:57] <Prez_> arashf: no good then...
[08:57] <Prez_> if it ain't read where it's printed cant be that good
[08:57] <f50fan> kupesoft: thanks :D
[08:57] <melol2> Do you guys think I should install PHP?
[08:58] <arashf> haha, are you planning to do any scripting?
[08:58] <rifffffffff> me: as a good guideline, don't install anything you don't absolutely need.
[08:58] <melol2> arashf, yeah
[08:58] <rifffffffff> and i feel like a douchebag for calling melol 'me'
[08:58] <melol2> rifffffffff, indeed :)
[08:59] <Prez_> molol2: not only are you, yourself, planning on doing scripting, but if you wanna run a lot of stuff out there u gonna need php
[09:00] <melol2> k.
[09:01] <melol2> Just got Ubuntu today. Thought "ive formatted my comp enough. Im going to try a new OS"
[09:01] <melol2> Wasnt sure if I wanted to overload on features just yet
[09:01] <loktai> atix
[09:01] <kupesoft> melol2: Ubuntu's a decent choice as far as Linux goes
[09:02] <melol2> Takes up alot less RAM then Windows too :)
[09:02] <rifffffffff> don't install anything you don't need. for security and other reasons =p
[09:02] <melol2> My comp used to crash if I listened to music and opened a program
[09:02] <melol2> lol rifffffffff. Ill keep that in mind :)
[09:02] <numan> help me plz
[09:03] <numan> i am stuck with display problem for ubuntu desktop
[09:03] <melol2> is everything in repository guaranteed not to have backdoors?
[09:03] <rifffffffff> i had a network security dude who pounded that in my head. and now i preach it too =p
[09:03] <mneptok> numan: me! i disconnect from you.
[09:04] <arashf> rif^8 network security dude, eh?
[09:04] <Xenguy> melol2: the mirrors/packages are gpg signed now AFAIK, so I *think* the answer is yes
[09:04] <rifffffffff> rif^9, ty.
[09:04] <arashf> rif^9 wtvr
[09:05] <mjr> Xenguy, melol2, yes, they are signed. Which is not actually a guarantee, but at least an indicator.
[09:06] <Xenguy> mjr: is it not as good as it gets?
[09:06] <mjr> Xenguy, pretty much so, yes
[09:06] <mneptok> you at least know who to blame
[09:06] <kupesoft> Is it bad to let my laptop just die and shutdown when it's got no more battery,
[09:06] <mneptok> few people will attach their real name to a viral payload
[09:06] <Xenguy> heheh
[09:07] <mjr> point is, stuff may still go unnoticed by the maintainers
[09:07] <Hidan> xtknight: yo dude , good to see you again.  :)
[09:07] <sacater> kupesoft: not good altogether, its better if you arnt running anything though
[09:08] <kupesoft> Is it good for the battery to do a complete discharge and then subsequently recharge

[09:35] <ubotu> ajmorris__: 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.

[09:35] <DooMRunneR> hi
[09:36] <Shirakawasuna> how much space is reasonable for an ubuntu / partition (my other one is going to be /home)
[09:36] <Shirakawasuna> ?
[09:36] <stone123> 10 Gig
[09:36] <arashf> shir..., depends on how man apps you plan to install... 10-15 is safe

[09:37] <arashf> aj, sure
[09:37] <AdoNama> ubuntu server install is just 1~2 GB i think
[09:37] <Shirakawasuna> arashf: less, if possible
[09:37] <dStumbler> woo hoo!!! it worked
[09:37] <riffffffff> shira: 10 should be plenty
[09:37] <dStumbler> and I actually get why
[09:37] <Shirakawasuna> AdoNama: can you just install ubuntu server and add on as opposed to getting all the extra stuff?
[09:37] <arashf> shir - yeah, sure, 10 is plenty
[09:37] <Shirakawasuna> I've never used Rhythmbox
[09:38] <Shirakawasuna> no need for the extra stuff
[09:38] <Shirakawasuna> arashf: thanks

[10:42] <universus> got a question to you guys
[10:42] <pradeep> what is the gconf key to disable thumbnails of mounted drives on the desktop?
[10:42] <universus> got athlonxp , so are kernels -k7 the best for me ?
[10:42] <payan> de la tumba???
[10:42] <payan> hasta el domingo wey
[10:43] <payan> raul: hasta el domingo :)
[10:43] <universus> sudo apt-get install linux-k7 ?? for athlonXP !!?
[10:45] <payan> raul_
[10:46] <m`kay> gi guys!
[10:47] <m`kay> someone knows the name of 7.10?
[10:47] <payan> october?
[10:48] <stone123> ./topic
[10:48] <tiglionabbit> has anyone here used both ubuntu and mandriva?
[10:48] <universus> holy shit can soemone answer me ?
[10:48] <universus> im asking you all
[10:49] <universus> are the kernel -k7 best for athlonxp ?
[10:49] <universus> or i686
[10:49] <universus> answer me ffs
[10:49] <tiglionabbit> yes
[10:49] <Shirakawasuna> universus: the answer is your mother
[10:49] <Shirakawasuna> next question
[10:49] <m`kay> payan no, the codename of the ubunturelease
[10:49] <arejay> heh
[10:49] <Kendreague> just use the i686, saves hassle with precompiled downloaded applications
[10:49] <arlenn> hahah... the generic kernel is the only choice you get w/o a custom build.
[10:50] <tiglionabbit> Shirakawasuna: what kind of answer is that?
 you shoulg get more respect for other people
[10:50] <CheshireViking> anybody able to troubleshoot with a webcam? after using easycam2 to install drivers, canorama gives an error "Could not connect to video device (/dev/video0).  dmesg recognises the webcam when plugged in
[10:50] <Shirakawasuna> tiglionabbit: the simple retort kind
[10:50] <arlenn> anybody know where i can find a list of fixes... i would like to know what was fixed in kernel 20-14?
[10:50] <arejay> universus, you shouldnt be demanding answers
[10:50] <payan> esay answer
[10:50] <Ali_ix> !language | Shirakawasuna
[10:50] <ubotu> Shirakawasuna: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[10:50] <tiglionabbit> universus: yes, i686 is for intel x86, k7 is for athlon k7
[10:51] <payan> that was family.. your mother
[10:51] <payan> lol
[10:51] <Kendreague> universus: If you're comfortable with compiling all your programs yourself, use the k-7. However, in my experience the i686 WILL run anyway, and make it easier to download applications.
[10:51] <universus> arejay, a HYPOCRITE !
[10:51] <arlenn> has anybody got compiz and notebook suspend to work? and how?
[10:51] <universus> tiglionabbit , thx
[10:51] <Shirakawasuna> and the channel descends into pandemonium ;)
[10:51] <universus> Kendreague, thx too
[10:52] <payan> you aunty
[10:52] <arlenn> uni..... talking to the kernel team the diff between k7 and 686 is <1%
[10:52] <xircx> is there a way to run a vurtual windows in ubuntu?
[10:52] <tiglionabbit> xircx: vmware
[10:52] <xircx> how dose vmware work>
[10:53] <xircx> ?
[10:53] <Shirakawasuna> xircx: yes
[10:53] <tiglionabbit> it lets you install and emulate windows
[10:53] <stone123> !qemu
[10:53] <ubotu> qemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo
[10:53] <xircx> dose it like open windows in a dialog box
[10:53] <payan> xircx VirtualBox is free
[10:53] <tiglionabbit> oh qemu works too?  I like qemu
[10:53] <Shirakawasuna> xircx: it puts it in a window by default
[10:53] <arlenn> xircx, yes... but i have not used it myself... i dual boot.
[10:53] <Gunny> payan: So is VMWare
[10:54] <xircx> so will vm ware mess up my wine?
[10:54] <Gunny> I have 6 VMWare workstations running on Linux xircx, it works quite well
[10:54] <payan> can i have it?
[10:54] <Shirakawasuna> xircx: you have to set up a special session for it to work in vmware, you might want to research it a little, first
[10:54] <Gunny> No, VM is is completely indepentant to the OS
[10:54] <Shirakawasuna> xircx: I've heard of people switching between vmware and dualboot losing their access and having to call MS to reactivate
[10:54] <xircx> well is vmware a linux app or windows app?
[10:54] <Gunny> Both
[10:54] <Shirakawasuna> both
[10:54] <Gunny> It's also it's own OS if you want
[10:55] <xircx> hmm
[10:55] <Shirakawasuna> I just dualboot to make things simple
[10:55] <xircx> i also dual boot but i wonted to be able to run all windows apps at the same time
[10:56] <Gunny> Yeah, VMWare is perfect for that
[10:56] <mwe> vmware can be painfully slow at things like photoshop on some machines
[10:56] <xircx> theres a few apps that windows has and i cant find a working repacement
[10:56] <Gunny> As long as you don't want to run anything heavy or play games in it
[10:56] <romel> \conect irc.irc-hispano.es
[10:56] <Shirakawasuna> xircx: depending on what works best for you, you can also use wine to emulate individual apps
[10:56] <xircx> i just need it for like "ares" and limewire and my visual express
[10:57] <Gunny> Yeah, that's fine
[10:57] <pfchen> I uninstall the vmware ,it run so slowly,i can't endure it
[10:57] <xircx> wine dont work with p2p like ares and limewire
[10:57] <payan> your mother... is she fine?
[10:57] <Shirakawasuna> xircx: but if you can get vmware working, that's ideal - just be aware that you might not want to switch between dualbooting and vmware, just pick one and stick with it
[10:57] <xircx> i cant get the jave to work on limewire

[10:58] <stone123> language
[10:58] <Arcad3> can someone give me a link to what Feisty Fawn brings new?
[10:58] <xircx> so if vm will render a windows xp in a dialog windows then ima be in heven
[10:58] <asad2005> how to add more com ports ttyS5,6....etc
[10:58] <mwe> Arcad3: mainly newer program versions
[10:58] <Gunny> xircx it runs windows in a virtual machine
[10:58] <gnomefreak> Hobbsee: what does he mean language?
[10:58] <mwe> Arcad3: newer kernel
[10:58] <Gunny> So when you use the VM, you'll be in Windows
[10:58] <payan> xircx i hope you have enough RAM
[10:58] <Tech^CF> Arcad3: http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/2007/04/05/fun-with-feisty/
[10:58] <gnomefreak> stone123: what is it you called us for?
[10:58] <xircx> will vm kill my ram then?
[10:59] <xircx> i have 512mg

[10:59] <xircx> im in just a standerd laptop
[10:59] <mwe> xircx: it wont run well I think
[10:59] <stone123> sorry , my bad
[10:59] <Arcad3> thanks
[10:59] <Gunny> Just don't run the vm when you're doing important stuff
[10:59] <xircx> hmm
[10:59] <mwe> xircx: at least not if you want to use resource heavy programs
[10:59] <pfchen> enough ram is essential to vm
[10:59] <mneptok> stone123: ?
[10:59] <xircx> well if i can atleast get it to run and it works that will be good then
[10:59] <mneptok> stone123: you needed an op?
[10:59] <gnomefreak> mneptok: it seems to be nothing
[10:59] <mwe> xircx: games don't work well in vmware either
[11:00] <mwe> xircx: If at all
[11:00] <xircx> cuz ima get rid of this laptop and build a new desktop
[11:00] <mneptok> gnomefreak: syn/ack
[11:00] <xircx> so my next pc will be able to run just about eny thing
[11:00] <Gunny> Yeah
[11:00] <Gunny> I just built a new desktop
[11:00] <Gunny> 4GB in this beasy

[11:01] <Gunny> There is VMWare in linux
[11:01] <Gunny> So you can get a feel
[11:01] <gnomefreak> stone123: only use !ops for emergencies.
[11:01] <Gunny> Why must everyone play with Beryl in videos
[11:02] <tiglionabbit> xircx: can't you run limewire on linux?
[11:02] <payan> your mother realy likes beryl.... that is why
[11:02] <gnomefreak> payan: stop with that now
[11:02] <pfchen> I install the ubuntu 7.01 under VM,many problem arise,no sound is one of that
[11:03] <payan> sorry, but it is true
[11:03] <xircx> when i try to open lime wire i get a error saying my java is bad
[11:03] <payan> :(
[11:03] <xircx> or some thing
[11:03] <Shirakawasuna> xircx: limewire is largely just gnutella, which there are many clients for in linux
[11:03] <Shirakawasuna> iirc
[11:03] <asad2005> I have a 6 serial ports card, linux only detects 3 of the ports can someone help me resolve this issue
[11:03] <rambo3> ubuntu has the best DRM protection, it wont erase my DVD-RW
[11:03] <xircx> gnutella dont open
[11:03] <Gunny> IRC: Usenet? :)
[11:04] <xircx> i have it installed and when i try to open nothing happens
[11:04] <Matte30> good morning
[11:04] <Shirakawasuna> xircx: that's no good
[11:04] <xircx> yup no good
[11:04] <puccio> Hi, I just got a big external screen from my laptop, I would like to use it in dual head mode as my colleagues do with Windows or MacOS X. My card is ATI, anyone can give me some hints?
[11:04] <xircx> ;\
[11:04] <Shirakawasuna> xircx: you mean gtk-gnutella?  That's the most common app
[11:05] <Dave> hey, is it easy to upgrade to ubuntu7 through the updates or something?
[11:05] <xircx> ya its in my apps/internet menu and it dont open
[11:05] <mwe> is there something less bulky than xubuntu-desktop that still provides a little more than the basic libs and so?
[11:05] <Shirakawasuna> xircx: actually, I forgot that linux has a limewire version of its own :)
[11:05] <tiglionabbit> xircx: try getting sun's java
[11:05] <Shirakawasuna> indeed, it makes things just work a lot better
[11:05] <xircx> i have some java installed
[11:05] <Arcad3> in is Beryl included ?Feisty Fawn
[11:05] <gnomefreak> xircx: enable backports and install sun-java6-plugin
[11:05] <Gunny> no
[11:06] <Gunny> Beryl is too early beta
[11:06] <xircx> how?
[11:06] <gnomefreak> xircx: did you set it in update-alternatives?
[11:06] <Shirakawasuna> yeah
[11:06] <Shirakawasuna> waaay too beta
[11:06] <Arcad3> should i download and use it??is stable?
[11:06] <gnomefreak> xircx: sudo update-alternatives --config java
[11:06] <asdx> i think waiting for the compiz/beryl merge would be better than including beryl right now
[11:06] <tiglionabbit> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java#head-f4267cc37a197ccf46397cc58ff0944838741956
[11:06] <xircx> im still real green to linux
[11:07] <Gunny> Beryl is moving towards including inside of Ubuntu, that is their end goal, just needs a bunch of work
[11:07] <Arcad3> your say?i want to use fawn as server
[11:07] <Gunny> What kind of server?
[11:07] <xircx> ok a list poped up in the terminal
[11:07] <Gunny> If it's an important server
[11:07] <Gunny> Use LTS
[11:08] <gnomefreak> xircx: choose the # with java5 or java 6
[11:08] <Shirakawasuna> Arcad3: works fine for me
[11:08] <Arcad3> local network server
[11:08] <Gunny> You never want your server to be 'edgy' or beta software
[11:08] <xircx>  3    /usr/lib/j2se/1.4/bin/java
[11:08] <cellojoe> why shouldn't a server be edgy?
[11:08] <xircx> /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java
[11:08] <Arcad3> edgy is now
[11:08] <apokryphos> cellojoe: not the most polished release?
[11:08] <gnomefreak> xircx: that one
[11:08] <Shirakawasuna> because it doesn't need to be and edgy often means buggy
[11:08] <Arcad3> works more than fine
[11:08] <cellojoe> Gunny: by edgy do you mean 'edgy eft'?
[11:09] <gnomefreak> xircx: the number next to /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java
[11:09] <cellojoe> ooh, edgy as in cutting edgy, or bleeding edgy
[11:09] <Gunny> Which ever is the equiv of Debian Unstable :P
[11:09] <xircx> ok now what?
[11:09] <apokryphos> and not as long support
[11:09] <gnomefreak> xircx: did you type the number than hit enter?
[11:09] <apokryphos> honestly, I don't think you'll find any hosting company providing edgy for their servers
[11:09] <xircx> yup
[11:09] <xircx> Using `/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java' to provide `java'.
[11:09] <gnomefreak> xircx: now try to use whatever app you were trying
[11:10] <kitsune> which is the best driver to use with ATI 9200 ??? Does any driver support 3D ?
[11:10] <gnomefreak> !ati kitsune
[11:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ati kitsune - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:10] <gnomefreak> !ati | kitsune
[11:10] <ubotu> kitsune: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:10] <xircx> i have to redownload limewire hold on
[11:11] <Gunny> What I do wanna see one day is ubuntu and kubuntu merging
[11:11] <Shirakawasuna> yeah
[11:11] <kitsune> It seems that there isn't the perfect driver anyhow thanks !!!
[11:11] <Gunny> THere is no reason to have two distros over a gui
[11:11] <Shirakawasuna> and ubuntu seems to be better in everything *but* the gui, imo

[11:14] <Gunny> Should be listed
[11:14] <Shirakawasuna> xtheblack9x: mounting is for filesystems
[11:14] <gnomefreak> kitsune: are you looking for direct rendering or you see it already?
[11:14] <cellojoe> xtheblack9x: your card should be listed in there somewhere
[11:14] <cellojoe> xtheblack9x: +1 gunny
[11:15] <kitsune> i see "direct rendering: yes"
[11:15] <cellojoe> rambo3: i tried
[11:15] <gnomefreak> kitsune: thats good means you have 3d running

[11:23] <TechVista> Is it possible to install Fiesty from a windows desktop using deamon tools virtual drive rather than burning a disc, like is there some command line kung fu I could to extract the distro and copy all parts over to pre formatted partion, then use windows bootloader instead of rub ,,,or is this not possible?

[11:26] <gnomefreak> shazzr: what version of ubuntu?
[11:26] <shazzr> gnomefreak: edgy
[11:27] <bulletride> it is hard to instal it?
[11:27] <gnomefreak> shazzr: and you used nvidia-glx from repos?
[11:27] <shazzr> gnomefreak: nvidia-glx-legacy
[11:27] <Flannel> bulletride: not from what I understand
[11:27] <arashf> mmm, does anybody know anything about fglrx support for the 2.6.20 kernels?
[11:27] <bulletride> i was at the beryl's side and i saw a lot of packets with beryl
[11:27] <arashf> I can't seem to get opengl working on feisty
[11:28] <gnomefreak> shazzr: no you need nvidia-glx geforce4 cards in edgy are supported with -glx package
[11:28] <bulletride> and i don't know wich should i chose
[11:28] <gnomefreak> arashf: join #ubuntu+1 and do you have geforce4 card?
[11:28] <alex__> does anyone want to help me with my sound card? I'm using ubuntu feisty on a laptop
[11:28] <shazzr> gnomefreak: seriously? everyone told me i had to get the legacy-stuff....:s
[11:29] <bulletride> i know only that i should instal ubuntu pakets :P
[11:29] <gdi2k_> greetings. I'm trying to boot a machine off the feisty desktop CD, but Xorg fails to start, and I don't get a bash prompt on any of the terminals. what to do?
[11:29] <gnomefreak> shazzr: for feisty you do for edgy the glx drivers should work fine. what card is it?
[11:29] <shazzr> gnomefreak: still the Geforce4 420 Go ;)
[11:29] <bulletride> but when i click on ubuntu packets i shows a lot of it
[11:29] <bulletride> it*
[11:29] <gnomefreak> eh its a go card
[11:30] <gnomefreak> shazzr: did you try the legacy drivers from beryl repo?
[11:30] <linsprb> is there a way to turn off the logon music...
[11:30] <bulletride> is there one pakage of ubuntu Beryl?
[11:30] <gnomefreak> !beryl | bulletride
[11:30] <ubotu> bulletride: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[11:30] <alex__> linsprb you can alter the system sounds
[11:31] <a> Oo
[11:31] <linsprb> how?
[11:31] <a> erf
[11:31] <bulletride> thx ubotu
[11:31] <shazzr> gnomefreak: don't know.....i guess i used the ubuntu repo....
[11:32] <igge> any idea why it doesn't work to do this in the top of a python file:
[11:32] <gnomefreak> shazzr: please join #ubuntu-effects and read the edgy guide in /topic
[11:32] <igge> #!/usr/bin/env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/firefox python
[11:32] <gnomefreak> shazzr: ubuntus legacy drivers dont support opengl
[11:32] <alex__> linsprb, In feisty you go to system-> pref->sound and choose the sounds tab over there. I belive it is the same with edgy
[11:32] <gnomefreak> igge: try asking in #python
[11:33] <shazzr> gnomefreak: so i should try with the beryl repo?
[11:33] <alex__> does anyone want to help me with my sound card? I'm using ubuntu feisty on a laptop
[11:33] <gnomefreak> shazzr: yes
[11:33] <pradeep> is there any way I can call gtalk users from ubuntu?
[11:33] <gnomefreak> shazzr: read the guide it will give you name of package and how to isntall it
[11:34] <linsprb> thnx alex_
[11:34] <alex__> did it work?
[11:34] <linsprb> yes
[11:34] <alex__> good. have a nice pesach
[11:35] <mkquist> hey all, anyone know what might cause grub just to keep rebooting when it says starting up?
[11:35] <linsprb> yeah 2 u also....
[11:36] <|thunder> mkquist; in situations like that I tend to just reinstall edgy,   :D
[11:36] <mistermister> Is it possible to make the ubuntu steup not run in a mode that isnt supported by my monitor?
[11:37] <mistermister> I've tried "Run it in safe graphics mode" but that doesn't work either
[11:37] <mkquist> |thunder - well its a server install and ive reinstalled grub already
[11:37] <mkquist> no go just keeps rebooting
[11:38] <Zaggynl> Can I install Feisty, and keep my /home directory as it is?
[11:38] <Zaggynl> without backup it up
[11:38] <xircx> whats the gtk-gnutella home web site
[11:38] <gnomefreak> Zaggynl: easier to upgrade and please see #ubuntu+1 for feisty questions
[11:38] <|thunder> Zaggynl; gnome settings may have changed in 2.18    not sure
[11:38] <Zaggynl> I'm using dapper, thanks
[11:39] <gnomefreak> Zaggynl: upgrade to edgy first
[11:39] <gnomefreak> than to feisty
[11:39] <Zaggynl> can't
[11:39] <Zaggynl> broke dependencies
[11:39] <mistermister> anyone?
[11:39] <|thunder> whats wrong with dapper anyways ?
[11:39] <|thunder> Still LTS as far as I know
[11:39] <Zaggynl> getting tired of the ancient repo's
[11:40] <|thunder> i hear that
[11:40] <gnomefreak> Zaggynl: that would be due to unsupported packages most likely. only supported way to upgrade is dapper to edgy to feisty. skipping one can cause very very bug issues
[11:40] <Zaggynl> hrm
[11:40] <fuzzy_logic> can someone help me plz? im working on a laptop, but sometimes i want to connect it to my external monitor.. but that isn't really working.. anyone help plz?
[11:41] <cellojoe> what do you mean by "isn't really working"
[11:41] <mistermister> Is it possible to make the ubuntu setup not run in a mode that isnt supported by my monitor? I can't see anything!
[11:42] <cellojoe> by ubuntu setup i assume you mean install from the cd... ?
[11:42] <mistermister> Yes
[11:42] <fuzzy_logic> cellojoe: when i try to swich to the monitor i get the message mode not supported
[11:43] <mistermister> It loads everything just fine, but it must select some kind of super high resolution for some reason
[11:44] <xircx> whats the newest version of gtk-gnutella
[11:44] <rambo3> mistermister, pass the parameter vga= n boot
[11:44] <rambo3> use google to calculate vga
[11:44] <mistermister> like vga=640x480 ?
[11:44] <fuzzy_logic> cellojoe r u there?
[11:44] <cellojoe> fuzzy_logic: maybe your monitor isn't supported... :)
[11:45] <fuzzy_logic> oh too bad
[11:45] <cellojoe> fuzzy_logic: how are you connnecting it
[11:45] <cellojoe> c
[11:45] <Adriano> hello, i have a gamepad problem: it detects more axes than the actual pad has, and assigns the X-Y buttons to the wrong axes
[11:45] <rambo3> mistermister, no
[11:45] <fuzzy_logic> cellojoe: just with the normal monitor cable
[11:46] <cellojoe> fuzzy_logic: oh, yeah. silly question
[11:46] <Adriano> edgy detects it on /dev/js0 as a BETOP USB GAMEPAD has 6 axes (X, Y, Z, Rx, (null), (null))
[11:46] <mistermister> ...care to explain it closer?
[11:47] <fuzzy_logic> :)
[11:48] <marctux> ciao a tutti
[11:48] <rambo3> mistermister, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=258484

[11:55] <cellojoe> yup
[11:55] <cellojoe> i am
[11:55] <jeff22> ubuntu takes care of everything for you
[11:55] <jatt> yes
[11:55] <cellojoe> partitions

[11:56] <jeff22> it did fo rme
[11:56] <cellojoe> Lobosque: gedit
[11:56] <cellojoe> hah, not gedit
[11:56] <cellojoe> gparted
[11:56] <Lobosque> hmmm... but i have 2 big doubts
[11:56] <cellojoe> but if you use the ubuntu install disk, a partition editor is included
[11:56] <Lobosque> when i create a partition to linux, is possible to change the partition size after the creation?
[11:56] <jatt> yes
[11:56] <Cartouche> yeah
[11:56] <Lobosque> very good..
[11:56] <cellojoe> yup
[11:57] <cellojoe> to reiterate
[11:57] <cellojoe> yup
[11:57] <Lobosque> the other is: how do i choose if i`ll boot on windows or linux?
[11:57] <cellojoe> Lobosque: i did that. i took away space from my buntu part. to give it to my media part.
[11:57] <cellojoe> GRUB!
[11:57] <cellojoe> since windows is already installed, it'll be easier
[11:58] <cellojoe> grub will take over... (right guys?
[11:58] <Lattyware> Hey all, I'm getting this error form apt: Package linux-headers-2.6.17-10-generic is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[11:58] <cellojoe> )

[11:58] <Lobosque> ok
[11:58] <Lobosque> actually im on ubuntu live cd
[11:59] <Lobosque> So i think that I can install it right

[11:59] <cellojoe> :)
[11:59] <Cartouche> ;)
[11:59] <nazo029A> Does anyone here know how to make applications start by themselves in kde when your fire up the os. In gnome I know you can do it in the "sessions" option. But how can I do it in KDE? I wish to get amarok and apache started from the second kde fires up
[11:59] <jeff22> how do i know if my system is i386 or x84?
[11:59] <jatt> you need to be sure you have enough disk space, but anyway the installer will check that
[11:59] <cellojoe> Lobosque: you can still talk to us while it installs!
[11:59] <draconpern> Hum.. my menu.list is blank
[11:59] <cellojoe> draconpern: menu.lst
[11:59] <rambo3> nazo029A, you start apache from rc.
[12:00] <Lobosque> (does ubuntu have some shorcut like the windows windows+d?
[12:00] <nazo029A> rambo: Ok, but what about applications like amarok and beryl?
[12:00] <jatt> what does windows+d do
[12:00] <rambo3> Lobosque, go bother ubotu
[12:00] <Arktus> hello all
[12:00] <cellojoe> Lobosque: theres a button in the bottom left of your screen. click it.
[12:00] <Arktus> jatt, nothing forme
[12:01] <shazzr> gnomefreak: just to clarify...you're ABSOLUTELY certain that beryl will work with the nvidia-glx? i'm about to reinstall....YET again....:s
[12:01] <jatt> ?
[12:01] <cellojoe> Win+D shows the desktop
[12:01] <cellojoe> !win+d
[12:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about win+d - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:01] <cellojoe> Lobosque: you can set custom keyboard shortcuts tho
[12:01] <cellojoe> like ctrl+alt+del to system monitor :)
[12:01] <Lobosque> lets start with the basic :D
[12:01] <cellojoe> Lobosque: the win key is kinda quirky, tho, in my experience
[12:01] <jatt> there is a "Show Desktop" gnome applet for that
[12:02] <Apollo^101> any one please ?
[12:02] <Apollo^101> can any one help please? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14170/
[12:02] <Lobosque> im starting the installer thing
[12:02] <Lattyware> Trying to install the nvidia driver manually from the nvidia site, but I can't get ahold of my kernel headers - it states they are not availible.
[12:02] <universus> are the i686 kernels standardly called generic ?
[12:02] <Lattyware> Running feisty.
[12:02] <cellojoe> Lobosque: i think you're where I was about a fortnight ago, so i feel for ya
[12:02] <nazo029A> rambo: How do I edit what starts in RC then?
[12:03] <Lobosque> hmm
[12:03] <universus> are the i686 kernels standardly called generic ?
[12:03] <jatt> man update-rc.d
[12:03] <Lobosque> in step 5 it gives me the option to erase all my HD
[12:03] <billy> universus: yes.
[12:03] <Lobosque> so i think i'll stick with the 2nd option :P
[12:03] <universus> billy, thanks dude
[12:03] <rambo3> nazo029A, it should be auto for apache on install , if not : man update-rc.d
[12:03] <billy> universus: no prob.  i run a smp kernel, but when it's downloaded, it's always called generic.  no idea why.
[12:04] <cellojoe> Lobosque:whats the 2nd option?
[12:04] <cellojoe> don't apply yet!!
[12:04] <Lobosque> wait, i'll restart the installer in englishd
[12:04] <nazo029A> rambo: ok ive tried that and im getting "No manual entry for update" and "no manual entry for rc.d"
[12:05] <Apollo^101> i wonder why reconstructor doesnt runs in kubuntu. i installed every dependency inculide ;glade;      still it says no glade module found?
[12:05] <gerry_> how to get beryl working for me?
[12:06] <gerry_> hello
[12:06] <nazo029A> rambo: What I should say is that im trying to get apache from a xmapp install going at startup, the script for starting it normally is /opt/lampp/lampp start with sudo permission
[12:06] <Lobosque> cellojoe, now im in the partition editor, what should i do now?
[12:06] <Arktus> Please, I search a command for run a program on the 1rst, 2nd, 3rd or 4th Desktop, Do you know this command, please? Somebody tel me that was possible with beryl but I haven't got beryl
[12:06] <gerry_> checking for XComposite extension   :failed
[12:07] <gnomefreak> shazzr: there is no promise beryl will work at all
[12:07] <gnomefreak> shazzr: im not sure what version your card needs. read the topic in #ubuntu-effects for more info.

[12:09] <nazo029A> rambo: yay thanks..... first result looks promising

[12:10] <rambo3> startup script that is
[12:10] <psYchotic> could someone help me out here. I'm trying to figure out how to get bash to slightly change it's autocompletion, so that instead of showing me a list of possibilities, it'll just use one possibility the first time I press tab, and if I press tab again, it'll try the next one

[12:13] <Andeh> Hello
[12:14] <Andeh> Im running xubuntu and my desktop icons arent showing
[12:14] <psYchotic> so anyway, nobody knows how to get this autocompletion behaviour working in bash?
[12:14] <daedra> psYchotic: TAB
[12:14] <Andeh> Everythings there in the desktop folder they just dont show on the desktop itself
[12:14] <Andeh> Any idead?
[12:14] <Andeh> ideas?
[12:15] <jburd> ferronica, can you check lines 16 and 32?
[12:15] <psYchotic> daedra: yeah, but I mean, I would very much like bash to not show me a list of possibilities if there is more than one, but rather try the first, and if that doesn't suit me, press tab again to get the next possibility
[12:15] <alex__> is there a feisty cnl?
[12:15] <fuzzy_logic> can anyone help me with a little problem? i am trying to connect my laptop to an external samsung monitor.. while it is booting i see everything (splash screen etc), but when the booting is finished i get the message "Mode not supported"
[12:15] <daedra> psYchotic: That's only useful in a selection < 5
[12:15] <Andeh> Anyone know why my desktop isnt showing icons?
[12:16] <psYchotic> fuzzy_logic: sounds like either the resolution and/or refresh rate you're using is too high for your monitor
[12:16] <daedra> psYchotic: Imagine cycling through a list of 100s !
[12:16] <fuzzy_logic> Andeh: what do you mean?? did you try to put icons on ur desktop?
[12:16] <psYchotic> daedra: I know, but it doesn't even do that much for a selection of 2 =P
[12:16] <mina_linux_Tux> hey i installed ubuntu 6.10 the alternate CD on my box which is PIII and 96 MB Ram , in a way to get a HP LJ 1018 printer work on it , when i installed the firmaware driver foo2zjs following the step at http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com i restarted but ubuntu never pass the boot process ? any comment
[12:16] <psYchotic> I just want to be able to do it, because it's useful
[12:16] <psYchotic> in some situations
[12:16] <jburd> ferronica, that file contains duplicate entries for the universe rep
[12:16] <daedra> I like the sound of it
[12:17] <fuzzy_logic> psYchotic: my monitor has a *much* higher resolution than the laptop.. in windows i have the same settings for the resolution and refresh rate, and there everything works fine
[12:18] <psYchotic> fuzzy_logic: but it is your monitor that says that the mode isn't supported, right?
[12:18] <fuzzy_logic> yes
[12:18] <mina_linux_Tux> ppl any comment or am i off - topic ?
[12:18] <fuzzy_logic> psYchotic: i don't really care what's the problem.. as long as i get it working.. any ideas how i can do that?
[12:18] <psYchotic> fuzzy_logic: are you sure your monitor supports that resolution with that refresh rate? I can't think of anything else
[12:19] <psYchotic> hm, well, you could try changing the resolution, see if that helps
[12:19] <fuzzy_logic> psYchotic: with windows it worked well
[12:19] <psYchotic> then it should also work with ubuntu =)
[12:19] <webben> Does anyone know how to prevent OpenOffice.org stealing focus in GNOME on Edgy?
[12:20] <fuzzy_logic> psYchotic: would it maybe help to change the resolution to the highest resolution possible on my monitor?
[12:20] <webben> currently it just mindlessly grabs focus away from Gnome Terminal and Thunderbird
[12:20] <webben> as soon as I switch awa
[12:20] <webben> *away
[12:20] <psYchotic> fuzzy_logic: it might, although I kinda doubt it
[12:20] <fuzzy_logic> ye me too
[12:20] <fuzzy_logic> its really weird..
[12:20] <mina_linux_Tux> ...?
[12:20] <miil> hello
[12:21] <psYchotic> fuzzy_logic: but this setup is using a bios option, right? Your laptop just has a port to attach a monitor
[12:21] <cabowitz> ...
[12:21] <fuzzy_logic> psYchotic: what do you mean? yes.. i attach it to the normal monitor port..
[12:21] <psYchotic> mina_linux_Tux: now ubuntu just won't boot at all?
[12:22] <mina_linux_Tux> psYchotic: yes
[12:22] <NewUser> i there any md5sum check for windows?
[12:22] <mina_linux_Tux> psYchotic: and i can't figure out what is the reason
[12:22] <NewUser> i want to verify my Linux .iso
[12:22] <billy> NewUser: yes.  you have to download a program.  checkmd5sum i think is one of the free programs.
[12:22] <psYchotic> fuzzy_logic: well, on my laptop, there is an option in the BIOS to use any monitor that is connected or not. What I'm saying is, you didn't do this by setting up twinview for X
[12:23] <NewUser> billy: from where?
[12:23] <NewUser> !md5sum
[12:23] <ubotu> To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more
[12:23] <psYchotic> mina_linux_Tux: have you tried using the safe mode?
[12:23] <fuzzy_logic> psYchotic: never heard of twinview before in my life :)
[12:23] <mina_linux_Tux> psYchotic: yes i tried the same
[12:23] <billy> NewUser: http://www.etree.org/cgi-bin/counter.cgi/software/md5sum.exe
[12:23] <alex__> can anyone help me with soundcard issue of ubuntu feisty?
[12:24] <billy> NewUser: there may be an easier one to use.
[12:25] <psYchotic> mina_linux_Tux: do you see any kind of error when trying to boot?
[12:25] <fuzzy_logic> psYchotic: r u there?

[12:25] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:25] <psYchotic> fuzzy_logic: hey =) I'm still here
[12:25] <fuzzy_logic> psYchotic: what's twinview?
[12:25] <billy> NewUser: this one may be easier to use.  http://www.blisstonia.com/shareware/WinMD5/WinMD5-2.07.zip
[12:26] <mina_linux_Tux> psYchotic: didn't find initrd device and fail in resolution or something like that
[12:26] <psYchotic> fuzzy_logic: it's some kind of option for Xorg to use dual monitors
[12:26] <gerry_> hello

[12:26] <psYchotic> *ass

[12:26] <fuzzy_logic> shit

[12:27] <ferronica> jburd: the line 16 and 32
[12:27] <gerry_> how to get beryl working on my box?
[12:27] <gerry_> i need help
[12:27] <psYchotic> mina_linux_Tux: did you add another harddisk?
[12:27] <psYchotic> c
[12:27] <FuuuWindows_Allw> hi all
[12:28] <mina_linux_Tux> psYchotic: no i didn't
[12:28] <ferronica> jburd: its -->universe main restricted multiverse
[12:28] <psYchotic> mina_linux_Tux: did you recently update your kernel, perhaps?
[12:28] <psYchotic> mina_linux_Tux: coz I think I've had approximately the same problem
[12:28] <psYchotic> mina_linux_Tux: or did you even dist-upgrade recently?
[12:29] <fuzzy_logic> psYchotic: i don't want to use the monitors at the same time.. only 1 at a time
[12:29] <cellojoe> gerry: #ubuntu-effects
[12:29] <mina_linux_Tux> psYchotic: no , all what i did , is that i installed the firmware driver , build-essential , CUPS , foomatic-bin and restarted
[12:29] <psYchotic> fuzzy_logic: ok. Anyway, I really can't think of anything that might be causing your problem. I'm sorry =(
[12:30] <Debian> hi
[12:30] <willskills> hi
[12:30] <Lambach-ADV> hi
[12:30] <psYchotic> mina_linux_Tux: still, do you have more than one kernel version available on your system, like, when you boot, does grub show your multiple options to choose?
[12:31] <fuzzy_logic> this sucks :S
[12:31] <mina_linux_Tux> psYchotic: yes, i tried both and the same boot sequence with the same errors
[12:31] <ferronica> jburd: its -->are you here???
[12:31] <cellojoe> NewUser: did you find a way to verify the md5 checksum?
[12:31] <ferronica> jburd: :(
[12:31] <cellojoe> ferronica: problem?
[12:32] <ferronica> jburd: same one
[12:32] <psYchotic> mina_linux_Tux: and you didn't even change /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[12:32] <ferronica> jburd: source.list
[12:32] <jburd> ferronica, try commenting out line 16.
[12:32] <jburd> brb
[12:32] <mina_linux_Tux> psYchotic: no
[12:32] <ferronica> jburd: how to comment it :(
[12:32] <psYchotic> ferronica: add a # at the beginning of the line
[12:33] <ferronica> jburd: like this #deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy universe
[12:33] <cellojoe> ferronica: you just learned something that you'll probably use quite a bit :)
[12:33] <psYchotic> mina_linux_Tux: weird weird stuff. If it really doesn't work out for you, you _could_ consider reinstalling, as you only recently installed, but this is just too weird
[12:33] <psYchotic> ferronica: yes
[12:33] <dragonkh> hello
[12:33] <dragonkh> anyone here any good with networking?
[12:33] <ferronica> jburd: and in line 32
[12:34] <dragonkh> im a little stuck with my ppp0 and eth0
[12:34] <jatt> !ask
[12:34] <jburd> ferronica, leave line 32 alone.  try updating  sudo apt-get update
[12:34] <mina_linux_Tux> psYchotic: i used the http.us.debian.com sarge as the sources.list source , does it make a relation with this type of problem ?
[12:34] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:34] <jburd> brb phone
[12:34] <ferronica> jburd: ok
[12:34] <cellojoe> dragonkh: whatcha mean /stuck/
[12:34] <ferronica> jburd: let me update it ok wait :)

[12:34] <puccio> hi, I have a dual screen running thanks to fglrx-control but the resolution on the 2nd screen sucks. How do I configure it??
[12:35] <puccio> in xorg.conf it lists only my first monitor/screen
[12:35] <psYchotic> mina_linux_Tux: well, it might, as sarge usually has older versions, older dependencies, but I don't think that is the cause of your problems
[12:35] <mina_linux_Tux> psYchotic: so what do u think ?
[12:35] <dragonkh> cellojoe: I connected a usb modem to my ubuntu box and followed the how to to get it to connect - it connects with my static ip - but i cannot ping anything - I have been trying to mess with the routes and hosts and resolv.conf but I now very confused !
[12:35] <mrmonday> helloall
[12:36] <psYchotic> mina_linux_Tux: I think either your /boot got messed up somehow, or something else I can't think  of =)
[12:36] <tomukas2> does anyone know which architecture goes with intel centrino duo? i386 or amd64?
[12:36] <dragonkh> cellojoe: should I not just be able to ping stuff by connecting to the adsl ?
[12:37] <mrmonday> tomukas2: either
[12:37] <psYchotic> amd64 is for 64bit amd processors, isn't it? =D
[12:37] <cellojoe> dragonkh: no, you should be able to
[12:37] <ferronica> jburd: Okay works fine without any problem.
[12:37] <mrmonday> yep
[12:37] <tomukas2> mrmonday: and which do you recommend? :-)
[12:37] <psYchotic> well then, intel centrino/core duo shouldn't work with amd64
[12:38] <mrmonday> depends what you use your PC mainly for
[12:38] <dragonkh> cellojoe: there must be some routing thing broken in my config somewhere
[12:38] <mrmonday> psychotic yes they do
[12:38] <cellojoe> dragonkh: probably
[12:38] <cellojoe> hm
[12:38] <jburd> ferronica, no problem.  You're welcome.
[12:38] <ferronica> jburd: i am using XChat-GNOME 0.13, everytime i have to join Cahnnel manually is there any other way ?
[12:39] <tomukas2> kthxbye
[12:39] <cassidy> ferronica: right click on the channel's name in the panel on the left : autojoin
[12:39] <jburd> ferronica, yes.  You autoconnect to the network and mark a list of channels to autojoin.
[12:40] <psYchotic> anyway, I'm out of here, since noone seems to know how to get bash to autocomplete the way I want it to =)
[12:40] <psYchotic> ciao
[12:40] <ferronica> jburd: if i did same thing to the more then one channel, then all channels will connect at same time right
[12:40] <cellojoe> yup

[01:19] <pescez> hi everybody
[01:19] <mina_linux_Tux> hey... any comment , or am i off - topic ?
[01:19] <firefoxman_> hi
[01:20] <pescez> does anyone understand why knetworkmanager strats seeing my wireless card like an ethernet network card after a suspend/hibernate session?
[01:21] <pescez> it's the nth time that i fall into this problem
[01:21] <mina_linux_Tux> ?????
[01:21] <cellojoe> sorry mina_linux_Tux , i dunno
[01:21] <pescez> it doesn't show wireless networks anymore
[01:21] <sipior> mina_linux_Tux: i don't think anyone understood your question
[01:21] <cellojoe> and pescez , same...
[01:22] <pescez> i can explain it better
[01:22] <JebJoya> hello all
[01:22] <pescez> after i have a suspend/hibernate shutdown
[01:22] <pescez> my system doesn't show wireless networks anymore
[01:22] <JebJoya> having a bit of an issue upgrading a fairly fresh install of dapper to edgy, anyone up for some helping?
[01:23] <pescez> i discovered that it's because it doesn't manage eth1 like a wireless network, but like an ethernet one
[01:23] <mina_linux_Tux> sipior: i installed a driver for a hp lj 1018 printer , after i restarted at the boot i got fail at http://pastebin.ca/426738, and the boot hangs
[01:23] <billy> JebJoya: what's up?
[01:24] <sipior> mina_linux_Tux: how did you install the driver?
[01:24] <pescez> and in Gnome-network-settings i found a weird thing eth1 is configurated in a "roaming mode"
[01:24] <JebJoya> billy, i get a "Could not calculate the upgrade" error, but it is slightly different in the main.log to the other bug reports I've been able to find
[01:25] <billy> JebJoya: whoah!  I don't know, man.
[01:25] <JebJoya> fair enough, anyone else got any ideas?
[01:25] <sipior> JebJoya: need a bit more info, i'm afraid. what was the precise command used to start the upgrade?
[01:26] <mina_linux_Tux> sipior: following the steps at http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/INSTALL
[01:26] <JebJoya> sipior: used the GUI "software updates" program
[01:26] <JebJoya> did all the downloading, then finished with that error
[01:27] <sipior> JebJoya: you might try apt-get dist-upgrade , check the man page
[01:27] <orange1> how do i find out which location each partition has. like (hd#,#)
[01:27] <sipior> JebJoya: or possibly aptitude would be better at sorting out the dependencies
[01:27] <firefoxman> Does joost work with linux?
[01:27] <cellojoe> anyone know how to set the default terminal??
[01:27] <mina_linux_Tux> sipior: isn't this error concerned with the X server Driver ror : Temporary failure in name resolution
[01:27] <firefoxman> /info
[01:28] <cellojoe> nevermind
[01:28] <sipior> mina_linux_Tux: not necessarily. a system should still boot, even without name service
[01:28] <sipior> mina_linux_Tux: wait, do you mean the system won't boot, or that the X server won't start?
[01:29] <JebJoya> well, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade did something without any errors...
[01:29] <sipior> JebJoya: another possibility might be just to install feisty when it comes out in a couple weeks :-)
[01:29] <mina_linux_Tux> sipior: the system didn't continue the boot process and as i told you there are some other errors at http://pastebin.ca/426738
[01:29] <JebJoya> how can i check that it's worked?  do I have to reboot?
[01:29] <polorix> yay! it's installed!
[01:30] <JebJoya> right, okay, i'm going to reboot and see what happened... wish me luck!
[01:30] <mina_linux_Tux> sipior: i'm asking about the ror :... error , cause i installed ubuntu in a text mode only , so why have prob at X server name
[01:30] <firefoxman> Can Joost work w/ linux?
[01:30] <sipior> mina_linux_Tux: yes, i'ev seen them. try running a make uninstall and see if that sorts the problem
[01:31] <shazzr> gnomefreak: still no dice. :S
[01:31] <sipior> mina_linux_Tux: well, even when installing in text mode, x is still installed and configured by default
[01:31] <mina_linux_Tux> sipior: a make uninstall for what ?
[01:31] <sipior> mina_linux_Tux: the driver that you installed, as per the instructions at the url you provided
[01:31] <shazzr> gnomefreak: my xorg.conf at least shows that it uses the correct card/driver.....but when I restart gdm, i get an errormessage as follows: "Fatal error: no screens found"
[01:32] <polorix> firefoxman: not at the moment
[01:32] <firefoxman> polorix: Thanks
[01:33] <pescez> just tell me one thing: is it correct to write "wireless eth1" instead of "auto eth1" in /etc/network/interfaces?
[01:33] <polorix> firefoxman: np
[01:33] <mina_linux_Tux> sipior: how and i don't a way to bypass the boot process and to be at the command line
[01:33] <pescez> otherwise how can i declare the existence of eth1 like a wireless card?
[01:34] <sipior> mina_linux_Tux: boot from the ubuntu disk, mount the partition and reverse the install
[01:34] <mina_linux_Tux> sipior:  how
[01:34] <berent> I am posing a challenge now
[01:34] <Stormx2> Upgrading and I keep getting this --> http://pastebin.ca/426743 <-- suggestions?
[01:35] <berent> I have a 80 gb hard disk with ubuntu edgy
[01:35] <firefoxman> Where is the C:\ that exists under wine??
[01:35] <Stormx2> firefoxman: ~/.wine/drive_c
[01:36] <sipior> mina_linux_Tux: insert your ubuntu cd and reboot. to mount your root partition, type "sudo mount /dev/hda3 /mnt", replacing hda3 with the name of your root partition.
[01:36] <PrimoTurbo> Is it possible to migrate my complete firefox profile (including extentions) to Ubuntu? If I just copy everything will it work or no?
[01:36] <sipior> mina_linux_Tux: next, do "chroot /mnt /bin/bash", and then change to wherever the driver directory is
[01:36] <mina_linux_Tux> sipior: inserting the live or installation CD ?
[01:36] <sipior> mina_linux_Tux: run "make uninstall" and see what happens
[01:37] <woger-> hey
[01:37] <woger-> aanyone online?
[01:37] <sipior> mina_linux_Tux: either is fine
[01:37] <PrimoTurbo> why did they mess up xchat...removed the users panel and stuck it pointlessling at the bottom like a button
[01:37] <sipior> woger-: nope
[01:37] <woger-> anyone here know php?
[01:37] <woger-> i need help
[01:37] <woger-> :/
[01:37] <cellojoe> php.net
[01:37] <berent> i have 4 paritions 1-5, 5-25 , 25-35 are my parititions
[01:37] <cellojoe> thats all i know
[01:37] <Stormx2> woger-: /j ##php
[01:38] <woger-> it sends me to overflow
[01:38] <woger-> gr
[01:38] <berent> with one extended parition
[01:38] <Stormx2> woger-: Are you logged in?
[01:38] <varka> PrimoTurbo: "they" didnt, you installed xchat-gnome instead of xchat
[01:38] <woger-> no
[01:38] <PrimoTurbo> I instaleld both
[01:38] <Stormx2> woger-: /msg nickserv help
[01:38] <PrimoTurbo> xchat and xchat-gnome
[01:38] <PrimoTurbo> and they both suck
[01:39] <mina_linux_Tux> sipior: which is better , and what i have to do after uninstalling the driver , i want to make this printer work
[01:39] <cellojoe> berent: what do you mean 1-5  5-25
[01:39] <Stormx2> PrimoTurbo: Haha. I like xchat..
[01:39] <cellojoe> and etc
[01:39] <dtholden> how can i get a higher resolution
[01:39] <varka> PrimoTurbo: ...
[01:39] <PrimoTurbo> the old xchat was better
[01:39] <berent>  I have a 80 gb hard disk with ubuntu edgy ;  i have 4 paritions 1-5, 5-25 , 25-35 and a swap are my parititions ; I want one more partition from 35-80 but am not able to

[01:39] <cellojoe> dtholden: flgrx
[01:39] <PrimoTurbo> the one with the user menu on the right side
[01:39] <berent> can anyone help me
[01:39] <sipior> mina_linux_Tux: not sure, i have no idea whether your printer is supported or not
[01:39] <PrimoTurbo> ....
[01:39] <cellojoe> berent: i'm listening
[01:39] <Stormx2> PrimoTurbo: You on feisty or something? My xchat has a usermenu on the right...
[01:39] <PrimoTurbo> resolution has nothing to do with it
[01:39] <berent>  I have a 80 gb hard disk with ubuntu edgy ;  i have 4 paritions 1-5, 5-25 , 25-35 and a swap are my parititions ; I want one more partition from 35-80 but am not able to because 4 primary have closed
[01:39] <cellojoe> !ask | berent
[01:39] <ubotu> berent: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:39] <PrimoTurbo> i am on edgy
[01:40] <cellojoe> disregard that :P
[01:40] <Stormx2> PrimoTurbo: I think xchat-gnome is the bad one...
[01:40] <cellojoe> extended partitions
[01:40] <sipior> berent: delete the swap partition temporarily, make it an extended, and then add whatever other paritions you need
[01:40] <Stormx2> PrimoTurbo: Try removing that.
[01:40] <PrimoTurbo> yes xchat-gnome but the new xchat is nearly the same
[01:40] <mina_linux_Tux> sipior: does that mean that the driver i did install is the reason to hang the boot
[01:41] <berent> i am unable to delete extended sipior
[01:41] <Stormx2> PrimoTurbo: Well I'm on "xchat" and I have a user menu and tabs at the bottom...
[01:41] <PrimoTurbo> xchat 2.8.0
[01:41] <PrimoTurbo> which version do u have
[01:41] <sipior> mina_linux_Tux: well, if it's the only change you made to a previously working system, it's pretty likely, but it's hard to say without access to the system proper
[01:41] <Stormx2> 2.6.6
[01:41] <dtholden> cellojoe what about flgrx? how can that help me to get a higher resolution, im new
[01:41] <sipior> berent: you have four primary partitions?
[01:41] <PrimoTurbo> these bastards messed it up
[01:41] <cellojoe> !flgrx
[01:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about flgrx - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:41] <PrimoTurbo> hold on brb
[01:41] <sipior> berent: you need to make an extended so that you can add more, right?
[01:42] <cellojoe> !fglrx
[01:42] <mina_linux_Tux> sipior: and if i did access the system properly how to figure out the right reason ?
[01:42] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:42] <berent> 3primary + 1extended yes sipior
[01:42] <berent> 3primary + 1extended(swap) yes sipior
[01:42] <Debian> #ubuntu-tr
[01:42] <cellojoe> berent: your swap is on the extended part.
[01:42] <cellojoe> ?
[01:42] <berent> yes cellojoe
[01:42] <sipior> mina_linux_Tux: frankly, probably best to pay somenoe to have a look, unless you feel like messing around with it

[01:43] <sipior> berent: why can't you remove that partition?
[01:43] <berent> i am unable to remove it through gparted
[01:43] <berent> sipior
[01:43] <sipior> berent: try fdisk
[01:44] <berent> sipior : it says its busy
[01:44] <sipior> berent: is it mounted right now? that would be the problem :-)
[01:44] <sipior> berent: boot from an ubuntu cd and fix it from there
[01:44] <berent> yes sipior its my swap partition
[01:44] <berent> sipior :is that the only way
[01:45] <sipior> berent: you never want to screw around with partitions that are currently in use. bad news
[01:45] <PrimoTurbo> is anyone using xchat 2.8.0 anyway to make it look like the old xchat?
[01:45] <berent> sipior yes, but why am i not able to add to my extended partition is the question
[01:45] <sipior> berent: you could try "swapoff /dev/hda?" and then modify it
[01:45] <sipior> berent: you out of space?
[01:45] <Rei-chan> So, I did a text-only install, then "apt-get ubuntu-desktop", waited for it to setup, started x, rebooted, and have a wokring ubuntu-desktop installation. Did I miss anything?
[01:46] <stone-unix> anybody help! three days ago i install an update of xorg and it broke my X. then i upgrade 6.10 to 7.04beta in command line, but still my nvidia related X doesn't start. startx reports: no devices. no screens.
[01:46] <netrat> Rei-chan: run aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[01:46] <sipior> berent: go ahead and pastebin your partition table and we'll get a better idea
[01:46] <_wraith_> it would help to unmount the drive if you wanted to change a partition.
[01:46] <sipior> yeah, we've covered that alreadty :)
[01:46] <Rei-chan> netrat: Will this overwrite the current install, or does aptitude do it sanely?

[01:47] <gadgerama> hi all
[01:47] <netrat> Rei-chan: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[01:47] <Rei-chan> netrat: 0 updates, 0 replacements.
[01:47] <Rei-chan> Looks like it got it?
[01:47] <PrimoTurbo> thank god you can change how it looks
[01:47] <netrat> Rei-chan: yup looks like it
[01:48] <Rei-chan> Yay! Thanks.
[01:48] <_wraith_> yes Rei-chan , you need to find some gui apps to run
[01:48] <_wraith_> + now
[01:48] <Rei-chan> _wraith_: I'm sitting in GNOME with xchat, etc. Next step is my favorite, playing in Synaptic.
[01:48] <berent> sipior take it http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14179/
[01:48] <_wraith_> Rei-chan, that'll work!

[01:49] <Ubuntu_noob> Hi, can someone please help me to fix this error: Fontconfig error: "~/.fonts.conf", line 1: XML declaration not well-formed
[01:49] <_wraith_> aha, well you should be able to find plenty of neat stuff to install with 15,000 + packages

[01:50] <cypherdelic> that libjack is definitly installed please help me

[01:51] <Rei-chan> There we go.
[01:51] <sipior> berent: well, you don't umount a swap partition, swapoff is used. as for resizing, there's no room to resize, because it's hemmed in by /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda2

[01:52] <berent> yes sipior but i can umount /dev/hda1 and make it bootable also
[01:52] <PrimoTurbo> I need help does anyone know if it's possible to migrate firefox extentions from windows to ubuntu?
[01:52] <sipior> berent: sure, but i don't see how that relates to your question
[01:52] <PrimoTurbo> where is the firefox profile located by default btw?
[01:52] <berent> it doesn;t though sipior
[01:53] <_wraith_> Rei-chan, understood. If that is the case you should have no problems then, I thought you were new to linux/ubuntu
[01:53] <netrat> PrimoTurbo: ~/.mozilla/firefox
[01:53] <PrimoTurbo> netrat: thanks
[01:54] <Rei-chan> _wraith_: Thanks. Its ok. I've been around here a few times, but never felt useful in mIRC through Windows. I may get really bored and try to put Beryl on this box! :)
[01:54] <sipior> berent: /dev/hda1 stops at cylinder 669, the exnteded partition (with only 1 swap partition) runs from 670 to 791, and then another primary starts at 792

[01:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about intel - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:54] <_wraith_> Rei-chan, I run beryl and compiz at times.. only problem for me is my on-board gfx card is horrible. So video playback is grainy
[01:55] <sipior> Ubuntu_noob: just what it says. the file is in xml, and there's a missing <bracket> or </bracket> probably
[01:55] <_wraith_> other than that they both work fine for me
[01:55] <js_> when i try to grab a window list to move the window i always miss it
[01:55] <Stormx2> Ubuntu_noob: Open up that file and give me the first line
[01:55] <berent> so what sipior
[01:55] <Rei-chan> _wraith_: Intel i815 graphics card in this box. Its a Dell off ebay. Now I get to enable direct rendering. But first, AFK time.
[01:55] <Stormx2> sipior: Nah, its the declaration which is wrong.
[01:55] <bronze_1_9> head -n 1 file
[01:55] <sipior> Stormx2: could be as well
[01:55] <js_> and have to wait with the cursor on the list, click, then move it.. is there a way to fix this or is it in the code of something?
[01:55] <_wraith_> i845 here using 810 driver
[01:55] <_wraith_> yick ;/
[01:56] <berent> so what sipior
[01:56] <sipior> berent: well, if you want to enlarge the extended partition, you're going to have to move it to the end of the disk. do you have another disk on which to mirror the partitions temporarily?
[01:57] <berent> no sipior
[01:57] <sipior> berent: then things will be very messy. is a reinstall an option?
[01:57] <Ubuntu_noob> stormx2,<?xml version=1.0 ?>
[01:57] <sipior> berent: because frankly that would be easiest :)
[01:57] <berent> sipior : what i think is resize the last partition till end
[01:57] <sipior> Ubuntu_noob: easiest just to pastebin the file
[01:58] <hubert> is it possible to have video wallpapers in ubuntu 6.06?
[01:58] <fluppy> hallo, does anybody knows a good OSX-like theme for beryl ?? (thanx in advance)
[01:58] <netrat> berent: what is your problem? you are running out of swap space?

[01:58] <berent> netrat take it http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14179/
[01:59] <sipior> berent: actually you do have a lot of space at the end. just use gparted to move all the partitions further to the back of the disk
[01:59] <berent> netrat : i want to use unallocated space
[01:59] <berent> sipior how do i do that
[01:59] <sipior> berent: the last cylinder is 9729, but the last partition ends at 5168
[01:59] <Ubuntu_noob> stormx2,http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14180/
[01:59] <sipior> berent: gparted has a move command, just move the partitions /dev/hda4 and /dev/hda2
[01:59] <ja_guy> hello..
[02:00] <sipior> berent: then you can expand the extended partition to fill the gap
[02:00] <hubert> is it possible to have video wallpapers in ubuntu 6.06?
[02:00] <cypherdelic> cypherdelic@HaeckFlaisch:~$ ufoai./ufo: error while loading shared libraries: libjack-0.100.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[02:00] <cypherdelic> please help
[02:00] <ja_guy> Anybody here knows a good ext3 data recovery program that runs on Linux? Most of the one i seeing are on windows.
[02:00] <berent> sipior resize/move is blurred
[02:00] <netrat> berent: or install QTParted
[02:00] <Carsten-> hi guys quick question Im trying to make a theme stick using beryl, there is no like apply or ok, it won't keep the theme i have chosen, are there any good websites out there on the matter?
[02:00] <PirateHead> hubert: sure. Why do you want to? =P
[02:00] <zbrown> How would I disable networking at startup?
[02:00] <sipior> berent: is a partition selected?
[02:00] <berent> netrat what will QTParted do
[02:01] <Puppy_> I also would be interested in a good osx theme for beryl.
[02:01] <berent> yes sipior
[02:01] <hubert> oirate:think it would look cool
[02:01] <sipior> berent: the same as gparted, but might be worth a try
[02:01] <PirateHead> Puppy_: Emerald's website has a osx lookalike theme, I think.
[02:01] <netrat> berent: qtparted is a partition manager
[02:01] <PirateHead> Puppy_: In fact, I think it has a few of them.
[02:01] <hubert> pirate:think it would look cool
[02:01] <Puppy_> thanks!
[02:01] <berent> netrat : but will be same right
[02:01] <sipior> berent: actually, the problem is that these partitions are on a running system. boot from the install disk and try again
[02:01] <netrat> berent: click applications, then add/remove programs, search for qtparted
[02:02] <sipior> berent: qtparted also won't move partitions that are mounted :)
[02:02] <berent> sipior thats what is the problem
[02:02] <netrat> berent: i'm with sipior, a reinstall would be best or use resucelinux
[02:03] <netrat> berent: i think it's called rescue linux, it comes with qtparted and some other recovery applications
[02:03] <hubert> sgfg
[02:03] <sipior> berent: well, he has extra space, so a reinstall is premature for the moment netrat
[02:03] <berent> but i cant reinstall since i have only a breezy badger cd and i have upgraded to edgy already
[02:03] <netrat> berent: http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page
[02:03] <sipior> berent: but you have to boot from an install disk first. the install disk should have gparted or qtparted on it
[02:03] <PirateHead> Puppy_: http://themes.beryl-project.org/theme_details.php?id=31 looks worth a try for me, and you can find more lookalike themes in the same area.
[02:04] <Rei-chan> !gfx
[02:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gfx - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:04] <sipior> ah okay, netrat aleady covered it. i type too slow, clearly :)
[02:04] <Rei-chan> Bah... what's the wiki? wiki.ubuntu.org?

[02:06] <Ubuntu_noob> stormx2, ?
[02:07] <panos> hi!
[02:07] <hubert999> anyway how would i go about having video wallpapers
[02:08] <ja_guy> anybody?
[02:08] <Carsten-> so has no one got any good resources on either compiz or beryl?
[02:08] <netrat> Poromenos: just run fsck.ext3 /dev/hda on whatever partition, just make sure it isn't mounted
[02:08] <Poromenos> Carsten-: what kind?
[02:08] <apokryphos> ubotu: beryl | Carsten-
[02:08] <ubotu> Carsten-: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[02:09] <Poromenos> netrat: hmm, what do i need to do to unmount it? stop all programs etc?
[02:09] <netrat> how do you check to see if opengl is working?
[02:09] <Carsten-> general help i guess, like when it is loaded I am unable to type in irc
[02:09] <netrat> Poromenos: you can't run fsck on a mounted partition
[02:09] <Stormx2> Upgrading and I keep getting this --> http://pastebin.ca/426743 <-- suggestions?
[02:09] <ja_guy> ubotu: do you know of any good ext3 data recovery that runs on linux?
[02:09] <Rei-chan> Ew. I get to run 16 bit color.
[02:09] <Poromenos> netrat: well yes, but how do i safely unmount it
[02:09] <netrat> Prognatus: it might just be easier to reboot the machine and force fsck on startup
[02:09] <Poromenos> ?
[02:09] <panos> anybody knows how I can restore the default up panel?:-)
[02:10] <hubert999> anyway how would i go about having video wallpapers
[02:10] <ja_guy> ubotu: undelete
[02:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about undelete - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:10] <netrat> Poromenos: umount /dev/hd??
[02:10] <PirateHead> Carsten- there are many good resources on Compiz and Beryl, both of them having been much talked and hyped about. What are you looking for specifically?
[02:10] <ja_guy> netrat: do you know any ext3 undelete tool?
[02:10] <Ubuntu_noob> sipior, can you please help me ?
[02:10] <panos> poromene ellinas?
[02:10] <Poromenos> nai
[02:10] <panos> :-)
[02:11] <panos> well, anybody knows how to restore default panels?
[02:11] <Carsten-> PirateHead, just general help on how to get things working, I have it running, but it will not do what I want it to do
[02:11] <netrat> ja_guy: no sorry i do not
[02:11] <Poromenos> panos: isn't there a "defaults" option?
[02:11] <panos> where?
[02:11] <netrat> Poromenos: why are you wanting to run fsck? did the box go down hard?
[02:11] <ja_guy> netrat: thanks.
[02:11] <panos> i deleted the panels and created mine
[02:11] <Poromenos> netrat: yeah, we reset it a couple of times :/
[02:11] <Poromenos> panos: hmm, i don't know, sorry :(
[02:11] <Lucifiel> wow finally it's receiving the updates. over 290 updates!
[02:12] <sipior> Ubuntu_noob: my .fonts.conf doesn't have the xml version declaration, or the doctype. try removing those lines (after ciopying the file somewhere safe) and try again
[02:12] <panos> however, i can't put the items i want (notify update, etc)
[02:12] <ja_guy> anybody here at all know any good ext3 undelete program?
[02:12] <PirateHead> Carsten-: Googling specific error messages (or telling us about them here) may help find out what is causing things to go wrong. If there aren't error messages, it would be nice to let us (or the Beryl team) know what is confusing you.
[02:12] <Poromenos> netrat: and i'm getting some "premature end of file" in gzip files
[02:12] <hubert999> anyway how would i go about having video wallpapers
[02:12] <hubert999> gez i dont want to spam :(
[02:13] <netrat> Poromenos: what version of ubuntu?

[02:13] <Rei-chan> If I crash X with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, will it reread the xorg.conf? Or do I have to bring gdm down too?
[02:13] <BraZubuntu> finally !!
[02:13] <PirateHead> ja_guy: http://batleth.sapienti-sat.org/projects/FAQs/ext3-faq.html and search for "undelete". Sorry about that.
[02:13] <Carsten-> well im not getting any errors specificlly, I just want some general config help
[02:13] <Carsten-> the wiki site doesnt answer much
[02:13] <BraZubuntu> Rei-chan, it's enough to use ctrl atl backspace
[02:13] <ja_guy> thanks PirateHead
[02:13] <Rei-chan> Ok. brb. :)
[02:13] <BraZubuntu> Rei-chan, he reads xorg.conf again
[02:14] <BraZubuntu> ok
[02:14] <netrat> Poromenos: in debian and ubuntu 6.06 i think you can run: shutdown -r -F now
[02:14] <Poromenos> netrat: feisty
[02:14] <netrat> Poromenos: oh okay you can try that shutdown command
[02:15] <netrat> Poromenos: it should force fsck to run on reboot, but i'm not familiar with feisty

[02:16] <berent> sipior and netrat : if i move my extended partition to the end using grub loader of ubuntu install disk then how many partitions can i make in that extended partition
[02:16] <Poromenos> netrat: the machine is headless, will it repair by itself?
[02:16] <sipior> berent: it's an ide or sata disk?
[02:16] <netrat> Prognatus: with debian, yes, but like i said i'm not familiar with feisty
[02:17] <Poromenos> netrat: ah, that option doesn't work with feisty's shutdown :/
[02:17] <sipior> berent: 63 for pata/sata, 15 for scsi, iirc
[02:17] <berent> sipior how do i check it
[02:17] <Poromenos> netrat: come to think of it, because it's headless we might have restarted it when it was running its fsck on reboot
[02:17] <Poromenos> ouch? :/
[02:17] <netrat> Poromenos: there has to be an equivalent command
[02:17] <sipior> berent: if you don't know, it's pata or sata :)
[02:18] <Poromenos> netrat: there's nothing in the --help list
[02:18] <sipior> berent: i assume 63 partitions is adequate?
[02:18] <Poromenos> and i remember looking into it
[02:18] <netrat> Poromenos: him try searching on google, like feisty fsck reboot or something
[02:18] <Poromenos> netrat: hmm, will do
[02:19] <Poromenos> netrat: or i'll just slap a screen on it and run it locally when i get back
[02:19] <berent> wow good yes sipior but how do u tell its sata or ide and whats the difference
[02:19] <berent> !ide
[02:19] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ide - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:19] <Poromenos> netrat: thanks for your help :)
[02:19] <sipior> berent: actually, i'm mistaken. dos partition tables have an unlimited number

[02:19] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[02:19] <Rei-chan> Sorry. :)
[02:19] <netrat> Poromenos: your welcome, i'm searching on google now. it's bothering me. HAHA
[02:19] <sipior> berent: sata is simply the next generation of ide disks, if you like
[02:19] <Poromenos> netrat: yes, it is a rather bothersome thing :)
[02:19] <sipior> berent: the conector is different, for starters, and the controller of course as wel
[02:19] <Poromenos> netrat: and i don't think i can just unmount the main partition and then run fsck
[02:20] <netrat> Poromenos: you can't umount the root partition
[02:20] <Hellevator> does linux log failed login attempts?  I want to check and see if someone tried to log into my computer while i was away
[02:20] <Poromenos> netrat: i was afraid of that :/
[02:20] <sipior> Hellevator: sure does
[02:21] <Hellevator> sipior, where are those logs at?
[02:21] <sipior> Hellevator: /var/log
[02:21] <Rei-chan> Hellevator: /var/log/messages
[02:21] <Rei-chan> Wait, does ubuntu use messages?
[02:22] <sipior> Rei-chan: yep

[02:22] <netrat> Poromenos: i found it
[02:23] <netrat> Poromenos: sudo touch /forcefsck, then reboot the machine
[02:23] <G^Deka> hi all, i have an issue with a lost partition, gpart is recognising it as a 10m fat16, when it is actually 29.3gb ntfs
[02:23] <netrat> Poromenos: https://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/10/12/tuning-the-filesystem-check-at-bootup/
[02:23] <G^Deka> it was being read fine before, however trying to fix windows, i did in ms recovery console fixboot and it made it fat16
[02:23] <Poromenos> netrat: ah great, thanks a lot
[02:24] <Poromenos> netrat: touch creates the file if it doesn't exist, no?
[02:24] <netrat> Poromenos: yes
[02:25] <Poromenos> netrat: great, thanks a lot!
[02:25] <netrat> Poromenos: your welcome, good luck with feisty

[02:25] <Hellevator> I have logs in my messages that says "Apr  5 13:55:37 rob-desktop -- MARK --"  what does --- MARK --- mean?
[02:26] <robokop> could you guys recomend me the dwm window manager?
[02:26] <Rei-chan> G^Deka:  WIth what.

[02:27] <alecjw> hi. do all intel wireless cards work in ubuntu?
[02:27] <netrat> how do i check if OpenGL is working with my graphics card?
[02:27] <Rei-chan> netrat: glxinfo from a terminal.
[02:27] <Hellevator> sipior, yep every 20 minutes
[02:27] <sipior> netrat: xdpyinfo | grep -i glx
[02:28] <IdleOne> Hellevator, seems normal I have the same thing
[02:29] <robokop> could you guys recommend me the dwm window manager?
[02:29] <sipior> robokop: never heard of it
[02:29] <Carsten-> ok now I have a question, when compiz is loaded, the title bar on all my window disapears, so I am unable to minimize the window without using the task bar, is there any simple fix for thiss?
[02:29] <cafuego_> Carsten-: Yes. Don't use compiz.
[02:30] <Carsten-> ok, well other than that
[02:30] <robokop> sipior: i heard something about it from a fellow student
[02:30] <BraZubuntu> use Beryl dude...
[02:30] <sipior> hmm...i was about to say that :-)
[02:30] <cornel1> Anybody ever hook ubuntu up to  a printer on a remote winxp box?
[02:30] <cafuego_> Carsten-: Wait for compiz to be fixed and don't sue it in the mean time.
[02:30] <Carsten-> BraZubuntu, beryl does the same
[02:30] <zyth> Compiz and Beryl are merging again.  This whole issue is silly.
[02:30] <PirateHead> Is there a particular reason to use beryl over compiz? I mean, aren't they essentially the same thing, just under different brands?
[02:31] <PirateHead> Isn't it literally the same source code?
[02:31] <sipior> zyth: is that really happening? i heard there were disucssions to that effect, but no definite plans atm
[02:31] <sipior> PirateHead: no, it's not
[02:31] <zyth> sipior, its confirmed.
[02:31] <sipior> zyth: oh, well that's nice then
[02:31] <cafuego_> They're merging though, so they will be.
[02:31] <Poromenos> erm, how do i check a partition's fs type? :)
[02:32] <cafuego_> only one buggy app instead of 2. Yay.
[02:32] <sipior> Poromenos: cat /etc/mtab
[02:32] <Carsten-> I guess there is no __need__ to use it, but I like its effects
[02:32] <Poromenos> sipior: ah, thanks a lot!
[02:32] <max_> any ideas if it is possible to change the owner of folder on an external hard drive (fat 32). chown -hR user /media/blah/blah  - does not do anything :(
[02:32] <cafuego_> Carsten-: Well, as you notice, it's buggy.
[02:33] <Carsten-> true, but when I look at everyone else's screen shots, the title bar for the window is there
[02:33] <Carsten-> if I can fix that I can handle any other bugs or crashes I might get
[02:33] <BraZubuntu> can someone point me a good multimedia repo, with codecs and libs ?
[02:33] <cafuego_> Carsten-: They probably sue a different gfx card. it kinda works one one machine here and not at all on the other.
[02:33] <sipior> max_: fat32 has no real notion of user permissions. check the options in the mount man page
[02:33] <PirateHead> BraZubuntu: um... Ubuntu main, Ubuntu universe?
[02:33] <cafuego_> Carsten-: The lack of title bar and window border means compiz is failing to start properly.

[02:34] <Hellevator> this is what my auth.log looks like http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14183/   is it just me or does it look like someone is trying to brute force their way into my system?
[02:34] <IdleOne> !seveas > BraZubuntu
[02:34] <Rei-chan> Wow. That was spectacular.
[02:34] <robokop> is there a way to check battery load from command line?
[02:34] <cafuego_> Hellevator: yup
[02:34] <Rei-chan> Starting Beryl-manager just crashed X and made some pretty weird log entries.
[02:35] <max_> 2 sipior - thanks - I just wanted to root my ftp server there which needs privilages
[02:35] <PirateHead> Hellevator: yeah, that's pretty creepy. :-\
[02:35] <cafuego_> Hellevator: time to add 200.91.87.212 to the firewall
[02:35] <BraZubuntu> Rei-chan, u've got 3D rendering ?
[02:35] <Rei-chan> BraZubuntu: I THINK so. AIGLX and Direct Rendering is running.
[02:35] <cafuego_> it's a box in costa rica, probably a zombie.
[02:35] <sipior> Hellevator: ssh brute force is quite common these days
[02:36] <sipior> Hellevator: change sshd to listen on another port, and those will go away
[02:36] <_wraith_> brb
[02:36] <kunwon1> setting sshd to a non-standard port will usually alleviate most troubles
[02:36] <BraZubuntu> Rei-chan, what does "glxinfo | grep render" says ?

[02:36] <Rei-chan> OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI i815 20050821
[02:36] <sipior> Hellevator: but it's unlikely that anyone is targetnig you in particular, just a script-kiddie
[02:36] <robokop> is there a way to check battery load from command line?
[02:37] <Hellevator> ok thanks everyone
[02:37] <jpjacobs> robokop, acpi?
[02:37] <sipior> robokop: acpi -V does it, i believe
[02:37] <PirateHead> Hellevator: As long as your password isn't a dictionary word in all lower-case letters, you're probably safe anyways.
[02:37] <BraZubuntu> Rei-chan, call beryl-manager from the terminal, and check out what it says
[02:37] <Hellevator> i will look into how to change the sshd port tomorrow.
[02:37] <robokop> jpjacobs: thanks
[02:37] <PirateHead> Hellevator: If your password is "god", lock your box down *now*. =P
[02:37] <netrat> robokop: or check /proc/acpi/battery
[02:37] <Hellevator> PirateHead, yeah, but I'd rather not have someone constantly pinging my box
[02:37] <Rei-chan> BraZubuntu: I did that a few minutes ago, it crashed X and restarted gdm.
[02:37] <Rei-chan> Want error messages from dmesg from that time? :)
[02:38] <sipior> Hellevator: the file you want is /etc/ssh/sshd_config, change the port line and restart sshd
[02:38] <sipior> Hellevator: just remember what port you set it to!
[02:38] <BraZubuntu> Rei-chan, yeah, maybe they're useful... xorg.log also....

[02:43] <sipior> LungaN: i mean, after ten minutes, will you still want that?
[02:43] <BraZubuntu> Rei-chan, aren't u using some kind of resolution too large ?
[02:44] <Rei-chan> BraZubuntu: I shouldn't be. 1024x768x16. It goes up to 1024x768x24 but the Wiki said it can't handle 3D at 24 depth.
[02:44] <xxtreme> install problems ubuntu 6.10 on 17" laptop, cannot enable RNG, aborting. Any help please?
[02:44] <sipior> xxtreme: which 17" laptop?
[02:45] <BraZubuntu> Rei-chan, yeah, the resolution is fine, check the refresh rates u r using, try to put them down a little
[02:45] <Rei-chan> Its at 60.
[02:45] <xxtreme> sipior_ gateway
[02:45] <sipior> xxtreme: and nothing comes up at all? is this a 64-bit machine, by any chance?
[02:46] <Rei-chan> Is lines 648 through 663 the problem, btw, BraZubuntu?
[02:46] <xxtreme> sipior_ no X86 and it will not install
[02:46] <sipior> xxtreme: well, but how far does it get?
[02:47] <LungaN> sipior: i only need it in like 5 minutes
[02:47] <LungaN> sipior: or less
[02:47] <xxtreme> sipior_ not far at all< it wont install nothing
[02:47] <MementoMori> hi all
[02:47] <Rei-chan> !mp3
[02:47] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[02:48] <sipior> xxtreme: do you at least get a menu after boot? or does it not evern boot? a few more specifics, please
[02:48] <BraZubuntu> Rei-chan, hey, have you checked the compatibility of your video driver with aixgl ?
[02:48] <xxtreme> sipior, it hangs for a while, and gives me cannot enable RNG
[02:48] <BraZubuntu> Rei-chan, my ATI was not supported, i'm using XGL instead
[02:49] <sipior> xxtreme: might be a bad CD. can you check on another machine?
[02:49] <Lambach> is there a way beyond sys/pref to tweak mouse settings
[02:49] <MementoMori> which file I need to modify in order to have new shell aliases for all users?
[02:49] <xxtreme> sipior, it says boots from cd, after that hangs cannot enable RNG
[02:49] <Rei-chan> I checked the i810 page for AIXGL. It suggested using AIXGL because it was "fully supported," except you had to run at 16 bit depth with the 82815 series.
[02:49] <sipior> xxtreme: might be a bad CD. can you check on another machine?
[02:49] <Rei-chan> Which I have, cause this is a sucky dell workstation.
[02:49] <js_> whats the app for gnome called that i can use with widgets like superkaramba?
[02:49] <sipior> js_: gdesklets
[02:49] <BraZubuntu> js_, gdesklets
[02:50] <js_> oh yeah, thanks
[02:50] <xxtreme> sipior_ i thought also, this is my 3rd CD
[02:50] <sipior> xxtreme: but you burned the same image to all three CDs? can you verify the md5sum of the disk image?
[02:51] <BraZubuntu> Rei-chan, http://odintsoff.wordpress.com/2007/01/27/english-ubuntu-610-ati-radeon-xgl-beryl/
[02:51] <BraZubuntu> Rei-chan, it uses Radeon, but the last part teaches how to make a script for loading XGL
[02:51] <xxtreme> sipior_ let me try this again
[02:51] <BraZubuntu> try it instead of AIXGL
[02:51] <BraZubuntu> maybe it solves
[02:51] <matze> !vmware
[02:51] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. For VMWare Server, instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers
[02:51] <Rei-chan> BraZubuntu: Dump AIXGL and go to XGL?
[02:52] <cornel1> Change in subject: I've a machine with a corrupted mandrake.  I've booted it with ubuntu livecd hoping to mount the harddrive and copy off data to another machine on my LAN.  I did an ifconfig, and it doesn't show a ip address.  So... I can use ifconfig to set the same address as it had before, and find a place in /mnt to mount hda*... right?  Can I use the gui to mount the harddrive?
[02:52] <sipior> xxtreme: be sure to verify the md5sum of the CD after download. try "md5sum ubuntu.iso" and then verify against the checksum printed on the web page
[02:52] <MementoMori> any pointer for the system wide bash aliases?
[02:53] <BraZubuntu> Rei-chan, yup, to use XGL you'll create another Session, to choose when u log in
[02:53] <Rei-chan> Oh, ok. I did that whole wonderful thing once before with a Radeon 9200. Beryl blew up then, too.
[02:53] <Rei-chan> We blamed it on ATI and removed Beryl.
[02:53] <BraZubuntu> Rei-chan, AIXGL is simpler, it user beryl as a layer...but due to circunstances u should give a try
[02:55] <Rei-chan> Or can I just run XGL with the xorg referncing all the AIGLX stuff?
[02:55] <firefoxman> Hi, I am having trouble using Qemu to boot off an WinXP Home CD, it says
[02:55] <firefoxman> qemu: could not open hard disk image '/dev/cdrom'
[02:55] <firefoxman> /ns info ffm
[02:56] <firefoxman> Umm, can anyone help me?
[02:56] <chili5555> cornel1: sounds like you r on the right track, although mount in cli always works best, i think
[02:57] <firefoxman> Hello?
[02:57] <LadyNikon> hi
[02:57] <firefoxman> I am having trouble using Qemu to boot off an WinXP Home CD, it says
[02:57] <firefoxman> qemu: could not open hard disk image '/dev/cdrom'
[02:57] <firefoxman> And then quits
[02:57] <LadyNikon> firefoxman: please dont repeat yourself.. if someone can help you they will.
[02:57] <firefoxman> Ok.
[02:57] <firefoxman> Sorry.
[02:58] <LadyNikon> i just didnt want you to think.. no one could see you :)
[02:58] <firefoxman> Ok.
[02:59] <big_bang14> how do i change keyboard layouts in xubuntu?
[02:59] <cornel1> Thanks chili5555, how do I bring up eth0?
[02:59] <BraZubuntu> Rei-chan, here xorg didn't say anything bout AIXGL, but it's default on....even tough there were no problems
[02:59] <firefoxman> !keyboard
[02:59] <ubotu> To find out how to switch your keyboard layout, See https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/xubuntu/desktopguide/C/switch-keyboard-layout.html - See also !Shortcuts
[03:00] <BraZubuntu> Rei-chan, when initiated the XGL session it used it
[03:00] <sipior> firefoxman: are you sure the disk is at /dev/cdrom?
[03:00] <chili5555> cornel1: sudo ifup eth0
[03:00] <firefoxman> sipior: I think it is at /media/cdrom0, but that dosnt work either.
[03:00] <Rei-chan> BraZubuntu: So, I can just merge in (heh) the xserver-xgl package and not have to edit my xorg.conf?
[03:01] <sipior> firefoxman: verify by "cat /etc/mtab" and see if the path's right
[03:01] <firefoxman> sipior: Should I unmount it first? It automounted.
[03:01] <cini> Is there an easy way to customize the panel? I accidently added 3 menu bars to the panel, and I can't get them off.
[03:01] <chili5555> cornel1: or even better, sudo dhclient eth0, then u get feddback that it got, or didnt get an IP address
[03:01] <sipior> firefoxman: you could try that as well
[03:01] <cornel1> Um... it is eth0 (zero) right?  It's saying no such device
[03:01] <firefoxman> sipior: How would I go about doing that?
[03:01] <crolle17> hey guys does somebody can helpe me with my eclipse problem?
[03:02] <chili5555> cornel1: do ifconfig and see what u do have
[03:02] <BraZubuntu> Rei-chan, if it says something explicit about AIXGL u should take a deeper look, if not, there's no problem
[03:02] <Rei-chan> ok.
[03:02] <cornel1> Dang... I tried upgrading this machine from mandrake 10, but couldn't get a nic to work.  Maybe same problem with ubuntu livecd
[03:02] <sipior> firefoxman: type "cat /etc/mtab", see where the disk is mounted, then type "sudo umount <path>"
[03:02] <GodTodd> bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
[03:02] <firefoxman> sipior: Wow. Actualy, I got it working by using /dev/hdc. Isnt that supposed to be my hard drive?
[03:03] <Lynx21> hey
[03:03] <chili5555> cornel1: ubuntu is very good, but cant fix a brkn nic...

[03:03] <Lynx21> i downloaded ubuntu from the website but i can't find how to install it
[03:03] <sipior> firefoxman: no, every device plugged into the ide controller get a label, cd/dvd drives included

[03:03] <chiilap> My computer has a faulty integrated USB hub on the motherboard, and I'm trying to make it boot without USB (it fails otherwise, "hub_port_status failed (err = -71)"). I'm loading the kernel with the nousb parameter, but it still attempts to enable the USB ports. What am I doing wrong?
[03:04] <cornel1> chili5555: I think it's the mb.... tried several nic's, even tried downgrading to mandrake 10's nic driver, nada
[03:04] <Lynx21> it was a winrar file
[03:04] <Lynx21> i unpacked it all
[03:04] <firefoxman> Lynx21: Oh...
[03:04] <Lynx21> and its just folders
[03:04] <Rei-chan> Lynx21: What was the extension? You probably unpacked the .iso.
[03:04] <Lynx21> i unpacked them all to a folder
[03:04] <chili5555> cornel1: then i suggest moving the harddrive to another machine and trying that way
[03:04] <Rei-chan> WinRAR will read ISOs and God knows what else if you let it.
[03:04] <firefoxman> Lynx21: Use somthing like nero burning ROM.
[03:05] <Lynx21> i am
[03:05] <Lynx21> but theres no iso to burn
[03:05] <Rei-chan> Lynx: Go back to the site, download the .iso, and do not open it with WinRAR, tell it to save to disk.
[03:05] <cornel1> Yeah, chili5555, I was just hoping to get the data off before mucking about
[03:05] <Rei-chan> WinRAR will open just about anything.
[03:05] <cini> How do I edit the panel in gnome? I added 3 menus to the panel, and I don't know how to get them off.
[03:06] <chili5555> cornel1: good luck, we're prayin 4 ya
[03:06] <sipior> cini: right click on the menus
[03:06] <cini> duh
[03:06] <Rei-chan> cini: ... never mind, sniped. The blank spots, not on an icon.
[03:06] <cornel1> Thanks chili5555
[03:06] <sipior> actually, if he wants to get rid of the menus, he'd best click on them
[03:06] <Lynx21> the file that downloaded is a winrar file tho
[03:06] <cini> one more question. how do I lock the panel? everytime I reboot my icons are rearranged or missing.
[03:07] <Lynx21> its not an iso
[03:07] <sipior> cini: right click on the panel...
[03:07] <big_bang14> what graphical tools are there for switching keyboard layouts in xubuntu?
[03:07] <sipior> cini: each object should have a "Lock to" box
[03:07] <firefoxman> !keyboard > big_bang14
[03:08] <Rei-chan> Wish me luck. Gonna restart a session.
[03:08] <cini> ohh. thanks.
[03:08] <firefoxman> How can I tell ubuntu to do DNS lookups on a different server than the one on the router?
[03:09] <sipior> firefoxman: you can add to the nameserver list on the network config panel. or just modify /etc/resolv.conf
[03:09] <chiilap> My computer has a faulty integrated USB hub on the motherboard, and I'm trying to make it boot without USB (it fails otherwise, "hub_port_status failed (err = -71)"). I'm loading the kernel with the nousb parameter, but it still attempts to enable the USB ports. What am I doing wrong?
[03:09] <safi> does any assist me in configuring the http server on ubuntuproce
[03:09] <safi> does any assist me in configuring the http server on ubuntu
[03:09] <sipior> firefoxman: but then you have to tell dhcp not to overwrite that file
[03:09] <firefoxman> Well, I want it to default to 4.2.2.3 and go to 192.168.1.1 when fails
[03:10] <sipior> firefoxman: they'll be checked in order, so just arrange them that way
[03:10] <bulmer> firefoxman  try to use dig  "man dig"
[03:10] <sisplau> hello
[03:10] <safi> hello
[03:10] <Shaihuld> Hi all :)
[03:10] <sipior> bulmer: well, but that's only for manual lookups. i think he intends to use this for web browsing &cet
[03:10] <safi> hi
[03:11] <bulmer> sipior i know, i dont know he wants the dhcpclient to do the lookup
[03:11] <Shaihuld> what is the command to lunch a program at boot please ? :s
[03:11] <Rei-chan> BraZubuntu: Well, XGL ... "works" but the display is very messed up.
[03:11] <Shaihuld> rc-update ?
[03:12] <Doug52392> Hi
[03:12] <cornel1> Well... TTFN, gotta go mess with hardware
[03:12] <sipior> bulmer: sorry? why would the dhcpclient do a dns lookup?
[03:12] <Geak> my God..
[03:12] <bulmer> Shaihuld: you can add scripts to /etc/init.d/
[03:12] <Shaihuld> ...
[03:12] <Rei-chan> Keel it with fire.
[03:13] <bulmer> sipior i mistyped, i meant dns client in general
[03:13] <safi> does any assist me in configuring the http server on ubuntu
[03:13] <brainiac8008> i'm ready to upgrade to edgy from dapper.  When I put gksu "update-manager -c" into the terminal, i get, "warnings.warn("apt API not stable yet", FutureWarning)" and then the Software Updates window comes up.  Is this warning anything I should worry about?
[03:13] <safi> Can any one assist me in configuring the http server on ubuntu
[03:14] <BraZubuntu> Rei-chan, well, at least some improvement, hahahaha

[03:14] <bulmer> safi if its tomcat its not too difficult
[03:14] <Rei-chan> Rei-chan: Its funny, I'm running AIGLX right now, I think. Its just Beryl makes it freak out with those weird i810 driver messages.
[03:14] <Doug52392> I was wondering if GNOME 2.18 is any good, and when it will be included in Ubuntu?
[03:14] <safi> thanks buler
[03:14] <safi> bulmer *
[03:14] <rabe> hi
[03:14] <sipior> Doug52392: 2.18 should be in Feisty, this month
[03:14] <Rei-chan> :(
[03:15] <sipior> Doug52392: i've heard it's not terribly different from 2.16, frankly
[03:15] <rabe> xsane doesnt start sometimes
[03:15] <safi> bulmer it is tomcat only which i wanted to set it up
[03:15] <rabe> do you have a clue what might be the problem
[03:16] <erUSUL> brainiac8008: no, warnings are mostly harmless
[03:16] <bulmer> safi  sun java jdk
[03:16] <Rei-chan> Oh, wow, xsane works out of the box with my Lexmark POS 1185!
[03:16] <bulmer> safi then install tomcat
[03:16] <rabe> i used it before evrything was ok
[03:16] <safi> i want to configure in a way that i can upload files to the web server , i didnt get proper documentation on this
[03:16] <brainiac8008> erUSUL, even this one about API being not stable?  do you know what API is?
[03:16] <safi> ok
[03:17] <Andy8372> i'm after help with installing my wifi on ubuntu - i've got ndiswrapper installed
[03:17] <rabe> now somehow he show an error message and dont start xsane
[03:17] <erUSUL> brainiac8008: the error msg says it >> apt API
[03:17] <bulmer> safi you have to google for  http Upload or if you know how to write a servlet to allow the client to upload, etc
[03:18] <Andy8372> i've got two cards - one's a belkin 54g v3 (difficult to install i've been told) the other is a buffalo g54s
[03:18] <bulmer> safi tomcat channel have very good people to assist too
[03:18] <Andy8372> both PCMCIA cards
[03:18] <arcanus> anyone know of a way to tunnel a connection via a seccond computer? i want to make it look like its comp B that makes the query, and not comp A
[03:19] <sipior> arcanus: iptables will do just what you want
[03:19] <safi> ok, bulmer i wanted to replace browser request by a python script send a request for uploading
[03:19] <rabe> it sais error during startig of device 'sanpscan libusb' wrong argument
[03:19] <sipior> arcanus: man iptables give examples that do exactly this, iirc
[03:19] <arcanus> oh? yay :D
[03:19] <chili5555> Andy8372: and then what?
[03:19] <sipior> arcanus: just remember to ensure that port forwarding is enabled on machine B :)
[03:19] <rabe> is there a way to reinstall xsane
[03:19] <rabe> might it be help
[03:20] <bulmer> safi then on the tomcat side, you have to have a servlet running to take care of uploads..
[03:20] <Andy8372> chili5555:  i dont know what to do now
[03:20] <zulfajuniadi> does anyone know how to make the laptop's keyboard leds light up? like lights for mute and ect
[03:20] <Andy8372> i've got the driver (inf) file but it wont copy it?

[03:20] <safi> well i have used httplib of python module and tried uploading it
[03:21] <chili5555> Andy8372: put the easy one in and open a terminal: iwconfig   does it show up?
[03:21] <safi> but failed
[03:21] <arcanusx> rabe: apt-get install --reinstall xane in console
[03:21] <Andy8372> let me pastebin.com
[03:21] <rabe> arcanusx cool thank you
[03:21] <safi> may be this was because of imcomplete understanding of http client and servers probably
[03:21] <bulmer> safi you are not paying attention, on the tomcat server side, there must be a webapp to take care of accepting the uploads
[03:22] <safi> yes it is there
[03:22] <MementoMori> what's the console shortcut to put the current job run in background?
[03:22] <rabe> but the error is still the same
[03:22] <AndyCR> hi, does anyone have info about using UDF (cdrw packet writing) with ubuntu?
[03:22] <brainiac8008> erUSUL, it seems that it has to do with python
[03:22] <rabe> might it be an error with the usb device
[03:22] <bulmer> safi you need to start prefixing your responses with a nick, we can not follow you
[03:22] <safi> sorry
[03:22] <Andy8372> chili5555: http://pastebin.ca/426856
[03:22] <bulmer> MementoMori: use the &
[03:23] <safi> bulmer , i was just parallely browsing the tomcat dir
[03:23] <safi> bulmer, so the response was late
[03:23] <MementoMori> bulmer: you ok but the job is already running
[03:23] <erUSUL> brainiac8008: does the update-manager fail to do the upgrade?
[03:23] <brainiac8008> i haven
[03:23] <rabe> libusb is the usb device ?
[03:23] <brainiac8008> 't done it yet
[03:23] <MementoMori> bulmer: what if I dont/cant stop it?
[03:24] <chili5555> Andy8372: you are just about done!!! PM?
[03:24] <bulmer> MementoMori: put it back to foreground
[03:24] <brainiac8008> but i've seen stuff like this on launchpad
[03:24] <Andy8372> ok
[03:24] <sipior> MementoMori: suspend with control-Z, then type "bg"
[03:24] <MementoMori> sipior: thank you man
[03:24] <bulmer> MementoMori: nothing in linux can be stopped, last resort is the ON/OFF switch or pull the plug
[03:24] <bulmer> cant*
[03:24] <sipior> MementoMori: "jobs" will list all running jobs, and "fg" might be useful also...
[03:25] <rabe> which deamon is controling usb
[03:25] <Rei-chan> Alright, xchat + gnome "whatever" package is annoying me, cause I can't see things like user lists, etc.
[03:25] <Rei-chan> How do I get my userlist on the right back?
[03:25] <rabe> maybe i can restrart it to resolve conflicting usb ports
[03:25] <safi> bulmer, yes there is a webapps in the tomcat
[03:25] <brainiac8008> erUSUL, is it safe to uninstall python?  Does anything rely on python?
[03:25] <MementoMori> sipior: when I do CTRL+Z does the job still run?
[03:26] <sipior> MementoMori: no, it is suspended
[03:26] <Andy8372> chili5555:  i PMed you?
[03:26] <natsume_> is ubuntu sparc working fine on sun fire 240 ?
[03:26] <sipior> MementoMori: the "bg" restarts in the background

[03:26] <bulmer> safi: you wrote it yourself? if not, go find the docs on how it accepts upload or if it uses the standard http post
[03:26] <sipior> MementoMori: no worries
[03:26] <Andy8372> probably msn
[03:26] <Andy8372> MSN?

[03:28] <safi> my final aim is to write a python script to upload files using http post (multipart- form data)
[03:28] <Zaggynl> Anyone knows how to convert a mkv to dvd file in linux?
[03:28] <RainCT> sipior: thanks
[03:28] <Andy8372> chili5555: also there is no light on the card
[03:28] <crolle17> the eclipse people said to me i should ask the ubuntu people
[03:28] <Andy8372> brb
[03:28] <crolle17> because the log file doesn't say anything...
[03:28] <Rei-chan> Woah. Pilot Applet just reset my Treo.
[03:29] <orangefly> calp me mount a raid 5 configured drive....???....
[03:29] <safi> bulmer anything u can assist me in this regard
[03:29] <Rei-chan> Anyone know a way to figure out how to determine where the heck my USB cradle is, /dev/ wise?
[03:29] <bulmer> safi on which?
[03:29] <ant00n> ghatak: apt-get install XFCE4
[03:29] <safi> my final aim is to write a python script to upload files using http post (multipart- form data)
[03:29] <safi> bulmer anything u can assist me in this regard
[03:29] <bulmer> safi on which?
[03:29] <chili5555> Andy8372: you pastebin looks like its good to go if we can command it to connect to a specific access point
[03:29] <crolle17> and beside after installing the rails packages and eclipse packages; no railsstuff in the eclipse features & plugins folder
[03:30] <safi> bulmer upload files on the web server
[03:30] <crolle17> how does ubuntu manage that?
[03:30] <bulmer> safi: you have to have a webapp/servlet to accept it
[03:30] <martii> hi I got souond problem
[03:30] <arcanusx> sipior: dont suppose you can give me a iptables rule to forward from 12.34.56.78:30 to 87.65.43.21:21 *blush*
[03:30] <crolle17> eclipse can't find any rails-features, because no files are in the eclipse folder although rails was installed
[03:31] <martii> everyhing plays nice except audacity or for example jacks
[03:31] <martii> jackd -d alsa
[03:31] <bulmer> crolle17: isnt there an eclipse channel you can ask?
[03:31] <bulmer> or ruby?
[03:31] <crolle17> bulmer i asked in eclipse channel but they can't help
[03:31] <safi> ok bulmer thanks for info, will dig out more on this googling it :-)
[03:32] <martii> is says the playback device "hw:0" is already in use.
[03:32] <bulmer> safi good luck, and there is a tomcat channel
[03:32] <orangefly> calp me mount a raid 5 configured drive....???....
[03:32] <safi> k
[03:32] <Andy8372> chili5555: can we go on MSN?
[03:32] <crolle17> they advised me to evtl. ask in a ubuntu channel
[03:32] <martii> orangefly: drive?
[03:32] <safi> bulmer k
[03:32] <Andy8372> not showing anything for iwconfig now :S
[03:32] <orangefly> can anyone me mount a raid 5 configured drive....???....
[03:32] <martii> orangefly: raid 5 are 3 drives
[03:32] <orangefly> drives
[03:32] <martii> orangefly: at least
[03:32] <martii> orangefly: so what's the problem?
[03:32] <ghatak> ant00n: that installs fine, but when I login to xfce then there is nothing on desktop, no panels, no way to navigate etc. it looks broken
[03:32] <bulmer> crolle17: i have not tried ruby stuff, but eclipse only with java
[03:32] <chili5555> sure wweston888@hotmail.com is my MSN
[03:33] <crolle17> and besides i also believe that ubuntu doesn't install the rails package into the right folder.
[03:33] <safi> well any one has pdf or docs on configuring tomcat
[03:33] <safi> on ubuntu
[03:33] <crolle17> bulmer that is originally...
[03:33] <ant00n> ghatak: press right mouse, should give a lot op options
[03:33] <orangefly> i know how to mount a single drive, but i'm not sure how to tell fstap to find the raid 5's....
[03:33] <bulmer> crolle17: they are dependent on environment variables settings like JAVA_PATH
[03:33] <martii> orangefly: how did you create raid5
[03:33] <orangefly> fstab....
[03:33] <crolle17> bulmer but what, when you try to use other frameworks?
[03:33] <orangefly> hardware raid....
[03:34] <martii> orangefly: is it software or hardware radi?
[03:34] <martii> orangefly: what do you get in logs?
[03:34] <crolle17> bulmer how & where to set these vars?
[03:34] <RainCT> how can I mount a pendrive rw?
[03:34] <martii> orangefly: hardware raid is usuaslly seen as scsi
[03:34] <bulmer> crolle17: pick up a book on eclipse or ask that in their channel
[03:34] <martii> RainCT: just plug it in
[03:35] <bulmer> crolle17: to see all your env variable  type  env
[03:35] <RainCT> martii: isn't working on Feisty
[03:35] <orangefly> dev/sdb....is that what you mean....???....
[03:35] <safi> bulmer , can tell me the channel name of the tomcat people
[03:35] <martii> RainCT: worked for me
[03:35] <safi> bulmer , can u tell me the channel name of the tomcat people
[03:35] <martii> RainCT: even on hoary
[03:35] <bulmer> safi  /join #tomcat
[03:36] <arcanusx> safi: you dont have to spam to get help mate
[03:36] <martii> RainCT: what filesystem you have there?
[03:36] <Daemonik> I have two sound cards. How's one go about setting one to be the default with Xubuntu?
[03:36] <Rei-chan> RainCT: Is the drive NTFS?
[03:36] <martii> RainCT: and what logs say when you plug it in
[03:36] <Punker> WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO
[03:36] <safi> bulmer, this is the first time i am using the IRC chat,
[03:36] <RainCT> Rei-chan: no, I think it's fat, but no idea. anyways, on Dapper and Edgy it worked
[03:37] <RainCT> martii: where are the logs?
[03:37] <dbody> any tips on getting my windows NTFS hdd to show up in ubuntu?
[03:37] <martii> RainCT: unplug it
[03:37] <martii> RainCT: plug it back
[03:37] <ripper> heh
[03:37] <martii> RainCT: type dmesg
[03:37] <martii> RainCT: type dmesg | tail
[03:37] <ripper> fstab ftw
[03:37] <jannes2> dbody: do you already have an fstab entry?
[03:38] <matt___> Feisty still due out the 19th?
[03:38] <dbody> no idea
[03:38] <martii> orangefly: could be
[03:38] <Lambach> how do I add running apps to a panel
[03:38] <dbody> so i should type dmesg | tail
[03:38] <jannes2> dbody: then open /etc/fstab
[03:38] <RainCT> martii: copy here or pastebin?
[03:38] <martii> RainCT: no copy
[03:38] <assasukasse> how do i open ace archives?
[03:39] <martii> RainCT: check what is says abouot usb storage

[03:39] <pilpi> hi. got Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libs/libsexy/libsexy2_0.1.10-0ubuntu2_i386.deb Size mismatch and same for liboobs when trying to upgrade dapper -> edgy. what are these libraries, any ideas? thanks.
[03:39] <dbody> thanks
[03:39] <martii> RainCT: should tell you something like what drive it's going to be
[03:39] <Puppy_> what are the system requirements for ubuntu? I have a computer with a pentium 4 and 512mb of memory. Is this good enough for ubuntu, or should I install xubuntu on it?
[03:39] <martii> RainCT: can be sda1 sdb1 or so
[03:39] <martii> RainCT: maybe sdc1
[03:39] <ripper> dbody check that link man
[03:39] <RainCT> martii: it's sdd
[03:39] <martii> RainCT: sdd1?
[03:40] <martii> RainCT: or just sdd
[03:40] <RainCT> martii: just sdd (http://pastebin.ca/426878)
[03:40] <martii> RainCT: what filesystem do you have there?
[03:40] <martii> RainCT: this one must be used with windows and encrypted or so
[03:40] <Ubuntu_noob> Hi everyone, How do I fix the "libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b" issues?
[03:40] <jannes2> assasukasse: sudo apt-get install unace-nonfree
[03:40] <RainCT> martii: dunno, but it was working on edgy
[03:41] <martii> RainCT: it says unknows partition table
[03:41] <martii> RainCT: that's why it's unable to mount it
[03:41] <Puppy_> what are the system requirements for ubuntu?
[03:41] <assasukasse> jannes2: thanks, what about file-roller? it will be integrated?
[03:41] <martii> RainCT: so you can't mount it
[03:41] <RainCT> martii: also could mount it at school with Linux there (it's a distro done by the education department)
[03:41] <jannes2> assasukasse: yes, i think so
[03:42] <martii> RainCT: you need to find out what FS it's formated
[03:42] <RainCT> martii: how?
[03:42] <martii> so anyone came across problem with ALSA unable to work with jackd ?
[03:42] <RainCT> martii: (if I run "sudo mount /dev/sdd /media/disk2" it mounts it but read-only)
[03:43] <martii> RainCT: stick it at scholl and type mount
[03:43] <rysiek|pl> hi all
[03:43] <martii> RainCT: this will tell you what FS it is
[03:43] <jin> !bittorrent
[03:43] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bittorrent - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:43] <Panzer_> so what is the command to run a program in the back ground even if I get disconnected from a ssh connection. Been using & at the end of the command but it still dumps when I dump the connection?
[03:43] <jin> !p2p
[03:43] <ubotu> Conventional P2P clients: Limewire/GTK-Gnutella/Frostwire (Gnutella Network).  -  BitTorrent: see !torrent  -  Direct connect: try valknut.  -  Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/P2PFileSharing for general information.
[03:43] <rysiek|pl> I am about to install ubuntu from ground up - and obviously I need to make the choice between edgy and feisty beta
[03:43] <jin> !torrent
[03:43] <ubotu> Torrent clients: Azureus (Java), BitTornado (Shell with python front-end), KTorrent (KDE/Qt)  -  Bittorent FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html
[03:43] <martii> RainCT: so do it
[03:43] <martii> RainCT: and tell what FS is used
[03:44] <rysiek|pl> is feisty stable enough for a n00b and will beryl work on it? or should I start with edgy now and dist-upgrade to feisty later?
[03:44] <jin> rysiek|pl, nope
[03:44] <Ubuntu_noob> !libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b
[03:44] <martii> rysiek|pl: fiesty - will be useful to have some feedback
[03:44] <RainCT> martii: it's fat 32 (just remembered that I can see it at GParted :p)
[03:44] <safi> bulmer , no one in the tomcat channel replies
[03:44] <martii> rysiek|pl: it's very close to stable
[03:45] <jin> martii, I doubt you can call it stable :(
[03:45] <Lambach> So I accidentally removed the main panel , I remade it besides where programs get minimized ?
[03:45] <bulmer> safi: one more thing, you need to learn to be patient
[03:45] <safi> bulmer ok
[03:45] <martii> RainCT: so that's strange
[03:46] <orangefly> martii my raid drives come up as sdb....shouldn't i be able to mount hdb1....fstab i added /dev/hdb1 a mount point that exists and the type ext3....

[03:51] <flyingpenguin123> I've made some attempts to look at forums and guides but nothing seems to have helped so far
[03:51] <flyingpenguin123> anyone got any ideas?
[03:51] <flyingpenguin123> bearing in mind I'm still pretty nooby =] 
[03:52] <rysiek|pl> martii: the thing is: I myself would go for feisty beta, but I am going to install ubuntu on my friends box, and he isn't exactly a linux guru ;) , so I don't want to give him something he will have problems with
[03:52] <rysiek|pl> martii: plus, beryl is kind of a requirement ;)
[03:52] <tuura> hi
[03:53] <martii> rysiek|pl: edgy is fine and works out of box with feisty and with some work on edgy
[03:53] <valehru> Is there a way to play movie files remotely much akin to mpd?
[03:53] <martii> rysiek|pl: nvidia?
[03:54] <cornel1> Another question... Can I run ubuntu dapper on a 4oo mhz Celeron, 32 mb machine?
[03:54] <safi> bulmer well i have a FC2 32 bit macine which has tomcat in it
[03:54] <rysiek|pl> martii: you mean "beryl is fine and works out-of-the-box" ;) nay, intel i9something
[03:54] <tuura> do you know, what is mac-a-look-a-like panel (for gnome)
[03:54] <orangefly> martii actually i see no sdb....just scsi0, but i tried to mount that and it wont work either....
[03:54] <tuura> or some patch
[03:55] <arcanusx> hmm... is there a easy way to activate port forwarding? as in something i can do in procfs?
[03:55] <Shaihuld> HI
[03:55] <tuura> hi
[03:55] <choq> do anyone know how to installl live messenger to ubuntu
[03:55] <arcanusx> choq: apt-get install gaim ;)
[03:55] <Rei-chan> choq: Like, the actual MS program, or just connecting to it?
[03:55] <tuura> i'm not sure, did you receive my previous message, so
[03:55] <tuura> do you know, what is mac-a-look-a-like panel (for gnome)
[03:55] <danny500> choq: can't
[03:56] <Rei-chan> archanusx's suggestion is about the best one. :) Use GAIM.
[03:56] <annihilus> gnome-panel
[03:56] <choq> i want run live messenger in ubuntu
[03:56] <danny500> unless you use wine but still might not work
[03:56] <Shaihuld> does someone make php script under linux ? ^^ i search a program to color my work, or a way to compile notepad2 ou notepad++ xD ( i don't want to use wine :s)
[03:56] <tuura> annihilus: no, no gnome-panel
[03:56] <k-edgy> need help with wine
[03:56] <annihilus> sry, gnome-dock
[03:56] <archetypo> i just installed and updated ubuntu-desktop.  but places | computer or desktop windows just disappear.  (is that nautilus crashing?) how can i diagnose and fix this
[03:56] <tuura> no.
[03:56] <Rei-chan> choq: Then I would suggest a very new version of WINE.
[03:56] <arcanusx> Shaihuld: try vim
[03:57] <martii> orangefly: use pastebin and paste there your dmesg
[03:57] <danny500> or just get windows
[03:57] <rysiek|pl> k-edgy: what's the problem?
[03:57] <arcanusx> Shaihuld: console text editor OS-wannabe :P
[03:57] <Rei-chan> Shaihuld: Try gedit.
[03:57] <Shaihuld> arcanusx: I search a program only with coloration without option i don't us :s
[03:57] <martii> rysiek|pl: forget beryl
[03:57] <martii> rysiek|pl: will be slow
[03:57] <erUSUL> Shaihuld: almost any editor in unix/linux will colour your code the list is far too large from the standar gedit/kate to the emacs/vim demi-gods
[03:57] <Shaihuld> arcanusx: OS-wannabe ? :)
[03:57] <k-edgy> now evertime i run wine, it says i am missing dll files
[03:57] <orangefly> ok....
[03:57] <rysiek|pl> martii: not on 16bit it won't
[03:57] <arcanusx> Shaihuld: Shitloads of extra options :P
[03:57] <Shaihuld> ?
[03:57] <choq> thnkx man i'll try using wine
[03:57] <rysiek|pl> martii: but will it *work*? that's the question
[03:58] <Shaihuld> thx all
[03:58] <martii> rysiek|pl: should do
[03:58] <arcanusx> Shaihuld: nvm, vim is very extencive
[03:58] <rysiek|pl> k-edgy: how did you install wine?
[03:58] <rysiek|pl> martii: ok, thx
[03:58] <erUSUL> !wine
[03:58] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[03:58] <choq> apt-get install wine
[03:58] <k-edgy> normally using apt-get
[03:58] <Rei-chan> Also, anyone know why running gpilot applet is making the PC slow a bit?
[03:58] <Rei-chan> And by bit, I mean "noticable."
[03:58] <k-edgy> it runs smoothly b4 dis
[03:58] <safi> bulmer, thanks for the info given, i think this download of tomcat will take some more time, going for dinner, by bye
[03:58] <arcanusx> !port forward
[03:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about port forward - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[04:02] <erUSUL> orangefly: use gparted
[04:02] <arcanusx> orangefly: apt-get install gparted
[04:02] <martii> orangefly: but even before formating you need to create partition tables
[04:03] <k-edgy> i cant even open winecfg
[04:03] <arcanusx> k-edgy: have you successfully installed wine?
[04:03] <martii> k-edgy: so your package is crap
[04:03] <k-edgy> yessssssssss

[04:05] <martii> how can I reinitialize audio subsystem?
[04:05] <Rei-chan> Wiki suggests Xine for DVD playback. Is there a gstreamer capable media player that can deal with menus and titles on a DVD, since Totem cannot?
[04:05] <orangefly> martii ty....
[04:05] <erUSUL> Rei-chan: no, afaik
[04:05] <Rei-chan> Ok, I can live with Totem + gxine.
[04:05] <martii> Rei-chan: totem can play dvd's but not as well as xine
[04:06] <Rei-chan> Yes, as I said, totem does not deal with menus. I asked if there's something that can that still uses gstreamer framework. :)
[04:06] <archetypo> is xubuntu more stable than gnome on a sparc?  anyone know?
[04:06] <k-edgy> i've followed this guide http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=3214 to install MS Office, but add it before i install it

[04:13] <flyingpenguin123> the PC next to me gets a signal
[04:14] <flyingpenguin123> ubuntu isnt installed on there, but I checked using the installation CD and it was there
[04:14] <SaveFerris> Xubuntu, while booting, fails to open the sound card driver and just loops on trying to open the driver infinitely, how can I disable or fix this?
[04:14] <flyingpenguin123> I connected and it worked fine.
[04:14] <arcanusx> and iwconfig gives you that the nic is regged as wireless?
[04:14] <Poul^Laptop> Anyone who use or have used hamachi?

[04:14] <freuen> does anyone have used the ATI X1650
[04:14] <flyingpenguin123> never on linux

[04:16] <zulfajuniadi> cthothej, panel -> rightclick + add to panel -> force quit
[04:16] <zulfajuniadi> ctothej, panel -> rightclick + add to panel -> force quit
[04:17] <cntb> 2200bg firmware is?
[04:17] <flyingpenguin123> 2200BG is a wireless card
[04:17] <flyingpenguin123> intel pro
[04:17] <flyingpenguin123> for my laptop.
[04:17] <ctothej> zulfajuniadi: thank you.
[04:17] <flyingpenguin123> I have the tar.qz
[04:17] <zulfajuniadi> cntb, ipw2200, default module loaded in ubuntu 6.06
[04:17] <flyingpenguin123> gz
[04:17] <SaveFerris> How can I get to a normal terminal from the GRUB?
[04:17] <flyingpenguin123> I dont know what else to do.
[04:17] <flyingpenguin123> its not detecting any networks
[04:17] <arcanusx> SaveFerris: you cant
[04:18] <wellzki> hi everyone!
[04:18] <zulfajuniadi> SaveFerris, from the alternate cd, choose repair
[04:18] <SlimeyPete> SaveFerris: You can't. If you're still in Grub then Linux hasn't been loaded yet.
[04:18] <wellzki> i have a question here
[04:18] <zulfajuniadi> !ask | wellzki
[04:18] <ubotu> wellzki: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:18] <wellzki> how can I connect to the internet with my siemens speedstream usb modem
[04:19] <wellzki> ?
[04:19] <petr478> SaveFerris: use E key to edit the menu and add "single" to line starting with "kernel". but it may be not what you want
[04:19] <orangefly> martii i'm sorry....it still says /dev/sdb1/ does not exist....but it's partitioned and formated in ext3....
[04:19] <SaveFerris> Xubuntu "freezes" while booting, when I run recovery mode, it shows that it can't open the sound card driver, but tries to open it infinitely, thus preventing the system from completely booting.
[04:19] <martii> orangefly: how do you mount it?
[04:19] <Panzer_> in a terminal how to you run a program so that said program keeps running after you log out of the program?
[04:20] <zulfajuniadi> SaveFerris, check in which run level alsa is loaded, then disable it
[04:20] <orangefly> martii in fdisk it comes up as sdb1 and sdb2....shouldn't i put the same thing in fstab....???....
[04:20] <SaveFerris> zulfajuniadi: i can only get to grub, and i'm not familiar with the commands in grub
[04:21] <martii> orangefly: mkdir /media/sdb1; mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1
[04:21] <martii> orangefly: who is that?
[04:21] <zulfajuniadi> SaveFerris, if you have the ubuntu alternate installation cd, you can get to bash. Alternately, use the live cd to boot into ubuntu
[04:21] <martii> orangefly: how is that?
[04:22] <stefg> SaveFerris: find /boot/grub/stage1  .... root (hd0,[foo] ) .... setup (hd0)
[04:22] <flyingpenguin123> can someone please give me some suggestions as to why my wireless isnt working?
[04:22] <SlimeyPete> wellzki: you could try using ndiswrapper. That *might* work, but it's a bit temperamental.
[04:22] <orangefly> martii ok....give me a sec....
[04:22] <k-edgy> hello
[04:22] <sidny4> flyingpenguin123: what kind of wireless card do you have?
[04:22] <k-edgy> need help with wine
[04:23] <k-edgy> who do i reinstall wine
[04:23] <SlimeyPete> wellzki: or else, if there's an ethernet port on the modem as well as a USB one, then use ehternet instead.
[04:23] <flyingpenguin123> 2200BG
[04:23] <zulfajuniadi> k-edgy, remove then reinstall?
[04:23] <sidny4> k-edgy: sudo apt-get install wine --reinstall should do it
[04:23] <wellzki> slimeypete: yup i tried. but still don't know how
[04:23] <flyingpenguin123> PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network
[04:23] <k-edgy> i mean, how do i make wine reconfigure it like it never been installed before
[04:23] <SlimeyPete> wellzki: you tried what? ndiswrapper, or etherneT?
[04:24] <sidny4> flyingpenguin123: is that a broadcom?
[04:24] <flyingpenguin123> I dont know. How do I check?
[04:24] <zulfajuniadi> k-edgy, read sidny4's quote
[04:24] <wellzki> sorry but i don't what is ndiswrapper
[04:24] <flix> thats intel i have the same wireless on my laptop
[04:24] <k-edgy> wheres the quote
 k-edgy: sudo apt-get install wine --reinstall should do it
 slimeypete: yup i tried. but still don't know how
[04:25] <k-edgy> ok
[04:25] <sidny4> flyingpenguin123: nope, it's an intel chip, have you tried ndiswrapper
[04:25] <SlimeyPete> wellzki: ndiswrapper allows you to install Windows networking drivers under Linux. It's a bit fiddly, but it works OK for some hardware.
[04:25] <k-edgy> sorry
[04:25] <k-edgy> i missed it
[04:25] <zulfajuniadi> erks, sorry
[04:25] <k-edgy> ok.. trying now
[04:25] <arcanusx> how do i flush the prerouting rules in iptables?
[04:25] <flyingpenguin123> no I havent
[04:25] <flyingpenguin123> and smileypete answered my next question =] 
[04:25] <k-edgy> still not working
[04:25] <wellzki> k i'll try to google it
[04:25] <flyingpenguin123> I'll just download the drivers from the intel website for windows?
[04:25] <k-edgy> i need to reinstall wine from scratch
[04:26] <arcanusx> k-edgy: apt-get remove wine --purge
[04:26] <k-edgy> i mean to configure wine initially by running sudo wine
[04:26] <arcanusx> i think =)
[04:26] <flix> 2200BG should work with fiddling around
[04:26] <k-edgy> tried that
[04:26] <k-edgy> didnt worked
[04:26] <arcanusx> k-edgy: i think you need to run winecfg as root
[04:26] <sidny4> !wireless | flyingpenguin123
[04:26] <ubotu> flyingpenguin123: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[04:26] <k-edgy> the problem is, i cant run wine anymore
[04:27] <sidny4> flyingpenguin123: there should be the info you need there to get it working
[04:27] <k-edgy> even winecfg
[04:27] <flyingpenguin123> I'll have a look
[04:27] <k-edgy> i got alot of errors telling me i am missing dll files

[04:31] <orangefly> martii it seems ok in the terminal, but it doesn't show up in the computer window....
[04:31] <xtknight> ctothej, people are used to typing sudo so they made a gksudo

[04:41] <xtknight> G^Deka, ah the  fixboot bug.  same thing happened to me although MS denies it.  it misdetected your partition as FAT12/16 because GRUB was in the boot sector
[04:41] <squire> tuura it is the gnome art downloader package
[04:41] <kazim86> ok... i m at the right place at the right time
[04:42] <squire> install via synaptic
[04:42] <xtknight> G^Deka, next step is use "testdisk" and use the advanced "search MFT" (master file table) to restore the boot sector
[04:42] <tuura> squire: oh okei
[04:42] <tuura> squire: I haven't, but i guess that it doesn't include any bars?

[04:43] <tuura> squire: what package is it?
[04:43] <tuura> in aptitude
[04:43] <xtknight> G^Deka, you then proceeded to do fixboot.  that misdetected your partition as FAT12/FAT16 and it overwrote your partition with FAT info instead of ntfs
[04:43] <arch_> Is there a program that mimics M$ OneNote functionality for Gnome? (I've heard of BasKet Note Pads, but is there any way to get it for Gnome?)

[04:48] <] [HsM] [> guys if i killed the gnome-screensaver process, this would disable the screen saver?
[04:48] <G^Deka> xtknight: did the wget
[04:48] <xtknight> G^Deka, tar xvf testdisk-6.6.linuxstatic.tar.bz2
[04:48] <zulfajuniadi> ] [HsM] [, i guess so
[04:48] <brianMan> Sounds like a interesting way to die. Having background processes killing you that is..
[04:48] <] [HsM] [> oh thank you so much
[04:48] <xtknight> G^Deka, cd testdisk-6.6/linux/
[04:48] <kazim86> firefox-bin is using 55% memory... and Xorg taking more than 10% CPU
[04:48] <Alturus> umm
[04:48] <kazim86> updatedb is not running
[04:48] <spasticteapot> That's a lot of ram.
[04:49] <Firefoxman> xtknight: Now I cannot find it anywhere!
[04:49] <Alturus> if I happened to be a new Ubuntu user, where would I happen to go for help on installing .tar files
[04:49] <G^Deka> xtknight: done
[04:49] <spasticteapot> kazim86: How much RAM do you have?
[04:49] <xtknight> G^Deka, sudo ./testdisk_static
[04:49] <elyob> Hi, can anyone recommend a LAMP package I can install on my xumbuntu 7?
[04:49] <zulfajuniadi> kazim86, like i sain, firefox has a known memory issue, try upgrading it, 2.0.0.3 is better in managing memory
[04:49] <xtknight> !lamp
[04:49] <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+)
[04:49] <kazim86> how do i know how much RAM i have?
[04:49] <xtknight> kazim86, free -m
[04:49] <Firefoxman> !tar | Alturus
[04:49] <ubotu> Alturus: Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression
[04:50] <spasticteapot> That'll do it.
[04:50] <G^Deka> xtknight: question about log file
[04:50] <elyob> Thanks
[04:50] <xtknight> G^Deka, doesnt matter no that one.  create one if youd like
[04:50] <Alturus> ok
[04:50] <kazim86> cat /proc/meminfo tells me memtotal = 481836 kB
[04:50] <xtknight> G^Deka, on that one*
[04:50] <gaspipe1> hey all
[04:50] <Firefoxman> xtknight: Now, I cannot find it anywere on any side of my cube!
[04:50] <xtknight> kazim86, 480mb of ram it looks...about
[04:50] <arcanusx> i need some help with iptables...
[04:50] <xtknight> Firefoxman, lol
[04:50] <kazim86> i think 512 mb ram... and 512 mb swap
[04:51] <xtknight> G^Deka, use the advanced/search mft function on the NTFS partition
[04:51] <spasticteapot> kazim86: Sounds like you've got some of your ram used by your GPU.
[04:51] <xtknight> G^Deka, partition table is Intel
[04:51] <spasticteapot> Common on lower-end PCs that lack discrete graphics.
[04:51] <kazim86> !GPU
[04:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gpu - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:51] <arcanusx> anyone able to help me, pease PM me.. it has to do with forwarding and prob. building moduls aswell...
[04:51] <zemo> im thinking of reinstalling gentoo just for this support channel
[04:51] <zemo> i mean damn look at it
[04:51] <cables> !ask | arcanusx
[04:51] <ubotu> arcanusx: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:51] <lordofheat> how do I transfer from gnome to kde
[04:52] <lordofheat> without the cd
[04:52] <zemo> i bet i get questions answerd in a second
[04:52] <xtknight> G^Deka, then select the NTFS partition and do Boot recovery.  i think search MFT is under there somewhere.  if not try search BS to restore the Boot Sector.  it's sometihng like that
[04:52] <cables> lordofheat, open a terminal
[04:52] <gaspipe1> just curious, I'm still using 6.10 64bit and I am not able to get my brother MFC printer working.. have driver been improved on fawn?
[04:52] <zulfajuniadi> gpu -> graphics processor unit, or graphic card kazim86
[04:52] <spasticteapot> kazim86: Linux is pretty good at managing ram, but it will use as much as possible for a given program if it makes it run faster.
[04:52] <Jaikkanen> ubotu: would you mind if i asked if its ok for some help? :D
[04:52] <spasticteapot> zemo: What about this support channel?
[04:52] <kazim86> spasticteapot: i think i should upgrade to firefox 2 first.. then back to this room!
[04:52] <spasticteapot> This is ubuntu.
[04:52] <spasticteapot> kazim86: Can't hurt, but I doubt it will help.
[04:52] <zemo> spasticteapot er i mean ubuntu sorry heh
[04:52] <Dante123> hi all......entering su in terminal and it says su: Authentication failure
[04:52] <Dante123> Sorry.
[04:52] <spasticteapot> kazim86: What kind of CPU do you have?
[04:52] <cables> kazim86, Linux also uses most of the RAM as a hard disk cache, so 100% RAM usage isn't a bad thing
[04:52] <xtknight> !root | Dante123
[04:52] <ubotu> Dante123: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[04:52] <Dante123> wt?
[04:52] <spasticteapot> Laptop or desktop?
[04:53] <Dante123> laptop
[04:53] <zemo> you ask a question and its half way  up the screen
[04:53] <zemo> haha
[04:53] <G^Deka> xtknight: i have rebuild BS and Repair MFT
[04:53] <xtknight> G^Deka, k that's good
[04:53] <kazim86> zulfajuniadi: i beleive there's some problem with graphics .... i have Matrox graphics card
[04:53] <xtknight> G^Deka, they are both done?
[04:53] <lordofheat> Dante123: type sudo passwd root
[04:53] <cables> lordofheat, do you know where to get to a terminal?
[04:53] <kazim86> spasticteapot: laptop (if u were asking me)
[04:53] <cables> lordofheat, so you do. Open one please.
[04:53] <Dante123> ok...thanx
[04:53] <gaspipe1> anyone know if hardware driver are improved or more added
[04:53] <spasticteapot> zemo: #ubuntu is somewhat full, I'll admit - check out #ubuntu+1 if you want somewhat more in-depth help with Feisty.
[04:53] <xtknight> G^Deka, you've lost ~9M of your parition at max... rest should be restored when testdisk is done with it if you did it properly.  stick with me though we'll make sure
[04:53] <G^Deka> xtnight: they are both options which one
[04:53] <spasticteapot> kazim86: Yah.
[04:53] <xtknight> G^Deka, repair MFT
[04:54] <spasticteapot> kazim86: Pentium-M or AMD cpu?
[04:54] <zulfajuniadi> kazim86, no, i seriously think it's firefox
[04:54] <kazim86> spasticteapot: pentium 4
[04:54] <lordofheat> cables, yes, and then?
[04:54] <spasticteapot> Odd, that.
[04:54] <kazim86> oh sorry... not 4
[04:54] <cables> lordofheat, sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[04:54] <cables> lordofheat, paste that in
[04:54] <Jaikkanen> i have wiped grub after installing xp on another partition, making ubuntu unaccessable, can i have some assistance to restore grub?
[04:54] <spasticteapot> Xorg should'nt be eating so much in the way of resources.
[04:54] <xtknight> G^Deka, does it seem to think the partition is ntfs at all? any indication?
[04:54] <kazim86> it says centrino
[04:54] <spasticteapot> kazim86: That's a Pentium-M/.
[04:54] <spasticteapot> Your CPU is throttling.
[04:54] <SaveFerris> zulfanjuniadi: Am i looking for rcS.d or an alsa script with an S in its name?
[04:54] <Puppy_> I heard that gnome takes up lots of memory. Is this  getting better (as in not using as much) or not?
[04:54] <cables> lordofheat, when that's done, you can log out. When you log back in, select the KDE session.
[04:55] <spasticteapot> When little CPU power is needed, the Pentium M reduces its clock  speed to reduce power use.
[04:55] <Dante123> sudo: passwrd: command not found    lordofheat
[04:55] <zulfajuniadi> SaveFerris, yes, i believe so
[04:55] <tulio__> how do i enable dual head?? does anyone knows?
[04:55] <kazim86> spasticteapot: solutions or places to look solutions
[04:55] <xtknight> yea set it to performance governor
[04:55] <spasticteapot> Your CPU is likely running at a fraction of its maximum speed.
[04:55] <lordofheat> Dante123: passwd
[04:55] <cables> Dante123, it's passwd, not passwrd
[04:55] <lordofheat> not passwrd
[04:55] <cables> Dante123, but you shouldn't do that
[04:55] <G^Deka> xtknight: doing rebuild bs  (sais search MFT) atm - yes it idenitfied it as ntfs
[04:55] <cables> Dante123, instead of su, type sudo -i
[04:55] <Dante123> must be my bad day?
[04:55] <Jaikkanen> i have wiped grub after installing xp on another partition, making ubuntu unaccessable, can i have some assistance to restore grub?
[04:55] <kazim86> spasticteapot: there is an applet cpufreq.... thats running at the panel... has changing clock speeds!
[04:55] <spasticteapot> kazim86: Don't worry about it. When you need to run something requiring more power, then your CPU will throttle up.
[04:55] <eelee> hi\
[04:55] <cables> Dante123, it's better to use sudo -i than su
[04:55] <eelee> 7.04 ready?
[04:55] <xtknight> G^Deka, ok.  itll look like itll take 5 days but in reality it should find the MFT pretty soon.  took about 10-20 mins for me
[04:55] <cables> !root | Dante123
[04:55] <ubotu> Dante123: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[04:55] <cables> eelee, nope
[04:55] <spasticteapot> kazim86: I'm running on a Pentium-M myself - that's not a problem, it's an advantage.
[04:55] <xtknight> G^Deka, (and this is exactly what happened to me)
[04:56] <spasticteapot> Lower clock = better battery life.
[04:56] <wo0lverine> hello
[04:56] <xtknight> G^Deka, in the future, make sure not to use (hdx,x) to install grub,  only (hdx) like (hd0) to install the MBR.  it will overwrite the boot sector on the NTFS partition and windows doens't like that
[04:56] <spasticteapot> kazim86: What kind of laptop?
[04:56] <G^Deka> xtnight: Extrapolated boot sector and current boot sector are different -- options are List and Wrtie
[04:56] <kazim86> spasticteapot: but any solutions to this slowness... or is it just that my laptop isn't powerful enough for ubuntu?
[04:56] <xtknight> G^Deka, press List to verify it found your files
[04:57] <Dante123> when I hit sudo passwd it says........Enter new UNIX password:   I don't want to do this right?
[04:57] <cables> Dante123, like I said, it's not a good idea
[04:57] <Dante123> sudo -i seems to work better
[04:57] <kazim86> spasticteapot: Compaq
[04:57] <cables> Dante123, you should use sudo -i
[04:57] <Jaikkanen> can someone please assist me in relation to installing grub?
[04:57] <xtknight> G^Deka, if the files look like they are the files you expect, press Write to proceed on fixing the partition
[04:57] <Dante123> so i just closed the terminal....
[04:57] <cables> !grub | Jaikkanen
[04:57] <ubotu> Jaikkanen: 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
[04:57] <Dante123> I haven't screwed anything up have I?
[04:57] <cables> Dante123, no
[04:57] <spasticteapot> kazim86: No - it's just slowing itself down to conserver electricity usage.
[04:57] <Jaikkanen> !grub ?
[04:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about grub ? - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:57] <zulfajuniadi> kazim86, try disabling caching in firefox
[04:57] <G^Deka> xtnight: when i press enter on List - nothing happens
[04:57] <spasticteapot> kazim86: Is Ubuntu runnning slowly?
[04:58] <cables> !grub > Jaikkanen
[04:58] <Dante123> okay....will use sudo -i when I need to be root.....right?
[04:58] <cables> Dante123, yep
[04:58] <xtknight> G^Deka, that's interesting.  maybe it's just taking awhile?  you may open a system monitor and check I/O access
[04:58] <cables> Dante123, or use "sudo <command>"
[04:58] <kazim86> spasticteapot: yes that's the problem... it grows slow if i use it for some hours
[04:58] <Dante123> yes....I have used that too.....thanks.
[04:58] <Jaikkanen> cables: thanks
[04:58] <FlyingSquirrel32> Where can I get a nice collection of avatars for my users?
[04:58] <xtknight> G^Deka, are you able to move the cursor to the "write" function or is the whole thing frozen?
[04:58] <cables> Jaikkanen, if you still need help, come back here.
[04:58] <spasticteapot> kazim86: now THAT is odd.
[04:58] <spasticteapot> Sounds like a memory leak of some sort.
[04:58] <kazim86> spasticteapot: so slow that clicks & keypresses dont respond immediately
[04:58] <xtknight> can users have avatars in ubuntu?  :O
[04:58] <spasticteapot> What version of Ubuntu?
[04:58] <G^Deka> xtknight: i am able to move it

[04:58] <spasticteapot> kazim86: But not at first?
[04:58] <kazim86> spasticteapot: ubuntu 6.06
[04:59] <xtknight> G^Deka, ok well it may still be fine.  if there's no way you can do Search MFT before Rebuild BS, then use WRite now
[04:59] <kazim86> spasticteapot: when i start the system... its fast as nothing for the first half hour i think...
[04:59] <olofant> i need a macro tool for ubuntu
[04:59] <G^Deka> xtknight: when i move over write it says - write boot -- maybe because i did the BS rebuild it is not listing files
[04:59] <olofant> who knows a macro tool ?
[04:59] <spasticteapot> kazim86: Upgrade to Ubuntu Edgy. That might help.
[04:59] <cables> olofant, to do what?
[04:59] <Dante123> just downloaded a debian package for Firstclass Client.....the earlier one worked fine...but newere one has nicer icons.....the new client worked once.....then next time....it hangs...on opening logo screen.....tried uninstalling....reinstalling....same thing......any suggestions?
[04:59] <olofant> cables: to spam
[04:59] <xtknight> G^Deka, ok so there was no MFT repair before BS rebuild?
[04:59] <spasticteapot> Then, go to Synaptic, re-load the packages, and update.
[04:59] <olofant> but not irc or so
[05:00] <kazim86> spasticteapot: gradually it slows down... .. its true that i always use firefox....

[05:00] <xtknight> G^Deka, i cant say i remember doing rebuild BS before search MFT, on the other hand i cant remember where search/repair MFT was either.
[05:00] <PriceChild> cables, ?
[05:00] <spasticteapot> Yep.
[05:00] <cables> PriceChild, olofant wants a spam tool
[05:01] <G^Deka> xtknight: it would not let me do the MFT before the BS, now i am in the MFT - i have the option of Fix MFT mirror Y/N
[05:01] <olofant> omg
[05:01] <spasticteapot> kazim86: I'm using Ubuntu Feisty on a slower CPU than you.
[05:01] <xtknight> G^Deka, ahhh... alright.  is that all it says?  copy/pastebin the whole terminal if you would
[05:01] <spasticteapot> Runs beautifully.
[05:01] <PriceChild> olofant, Not in here thanks.
[05:01] <olofant> PriceChild i wanna know a macro tool for ubuntu
[05:01] <spasticteapot> kazim86: I have a 1ghz Pentium M. That's it.
[05:01] <olofant> i need it for a online game..
[05:01] <kazim86> zulfajuniadi: its 77 mb right now

[05:02] <PriceChild> olofant, If its not for support for Ubuntu it is offtopic here.
[05:02] <olofant> nice help
[05:02] <xtknight> G^Deka, i guess that's all you can really do, it sounds like
[05:02] <spasticteapot> kazim86: What model of laptop do you have?
[05:02] <spasticteapot> CPU?
[05:02] <olofant> omg
[05:02] <G^Deka> xtknight: i got MFT mirror fixed, seems like its all done
[05:02] <spasticteapot> olofant: We don't like spammers here.

[05:03] <Hobbsee> heh
[05:03] <spasticteapot> kazim86: What CPU?
[05:03] <kazim86> spasticteapot: dont know the model...
[05:03] <spasticteapot> How old?
[05:03] <xtknight> G^Deka, this is a very dangerous command if typed wrong  (in particular type if=, NOT of=) "sudo dd if=/dev/sda1 bs=512 count=1 | strings"
[05:03] <kazim86> spasticteapot: Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.70GHz (must be 2 yrs old)
[05:03] <xtknight> G^Deka, replace /dev/sda1 with the NTFS partition
[05:03] <spasticteapot> Odds are that you've got at least a 1.3ghz Pentium-M. Aside from the ULV models, they don't go any slower.
[05:03] <xtknight> G^Deka, right now we are looking for traces of GRUB in the NTFS boot sector.
[05:03] <spasticteapot> kazim86: You have a much faster CPU than me - you should be set.
[05:03] <Firefoxman> What is the best newsreader for linux?
[05:04] <kazim86> its 1.7GHz (from cpuinfo)
[05:04] <xtknight> Firefoxman, for binary or just text?
[05:04] <cables> Firefoxman, I've heard good things about Liferea, personally I use Thunderbird.
[05:04] <Jaikkanen> cables: i have found documents in relation to my problem, and i know what i must do, just not sure how.. the document isn't completely applicable
[05:04] <spasticteapot> kazim86: It's a pain, I know, but Feisty is going to fix a lot of your problems.
[05:04] <Firefoxman> xtknight: Uh.... text, I guess.
[05:04] <cables> Jaikkanen, then ask your question to the entire channel so people can help.
[05:04] <xtknight> Firefoxman, thunderbird i think has a good newsrader?
[05:04] <spasticteapot> Much better than Edgy, which in turn had fixed some of the problems of Dapper.
[05:04] <kazim86> spasticteapot: right now.... what can i do? (other than upgrading to edgy)
[05:04] <firsm> Hey, I'm trying to get ALSA to work, OSS emulation seems to work fine but when an application is trying to use alsa (like mplayer -ao alsa) I get no sound at all. That's what mplayer says: http://rafb.net/p/33RaRo63.html Any ideas?

[05:05] <kazim86> april 2007... ok
[05:05] <xtknight> crap
[05:05] <spasticteapot> kazim86: Update everything, install the newest version of Firefox, and change the cache size.
[05:05] <spasticteapot> And update to Feisty ASAP.
[05:05] <xtknight> G^Deka, sudo apt-get install binutils
[05:05] <kazim86> spasticteapot: but this is april
[05:05] <cables> kazim86, I've heard the release date is supposed to be the 19th
[05:05] <spasticteapot> I know.
[05:05] <spasticteapot> Should be done soon.
[05:05] <xtknight> what package is "strings" in, in Edgy?
[05:05] <xtknight> !find strings
[05:05] <kazim86> spasticteapot: it looks like u r one of ubuntu developers? or MOTU?
[05:05] <ubotu> File strings found in abiword-common, addressmanager.app, affiche.app, binutils, binutils-avr (and 40 others)
[05:05] <Firefoxman> kazim86: Dont get fiesty yet. I have it, and while it works fairly well, it is not supported.
[05:06] <Jaikkanen> i have wiped grub by installing XP on another of my partitions.. (no longer able to boot ubuntu) .. using the terminal, how do i restore grub?
[05:06] <spasticteapot> kazim86: MOTU?
[05:06] <Hobbsee> kazim86: he's not
[05:06] <kazim86> Masters of the universe(MOTU)
[05:06] <cables> !grub | Jaikkanen
[05:06] <ubotu> Jaikkanen: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[05:06] <spasticteapot> kazim86: I'm no developer - just someone who's been using Linux for a while.
[05:06] <RoundyT1> I need the Closest program to Dreamweaver that Ubuntu has in its repos..........
[05:06] <RoundyT1> ?????
[05:06] <xtknight> G^Deka, try the apt-get binutils, then repeat the command with dd/strings in it
[05:06] <cables> Jaikkanen, I know you said you looked at this, but there IS exactly what you need in one of those articles.
[05:06] <Firefoxman> cables: Liferea is a feed reader.
[05:06] <spasticteapot> Specifically, I've been using linux on laptops for quite a while.
[05:06] <finalbeta> RoundyT1: no alternative at all.
[05:06] <sid__N> try crossover...
[05:06] <BraZubuntu> RoundyT1, NVU is enough ?
[05:06] <cables> RoundyT1, probably Nvu
[05:06] <sid__N> Crossover office
[05:06] <Hobbsee> RoundyT1: probably nvu if it's still there, or amaya
[05:06] <kazim86> spasticteapot: well... thanx for ur time....
[05:06] <finalbeta> NVU doesn't compare to dreamweaver, don't bother installing.
[05:06] <sid__N> crossover office lets you use Dreamweaver on Linux :D
[05:06] <spasticteapot> kazim86: Heh, thanks for the complement.
[05:07] <finalbeta> NVu is not even included in feisty.
[05:07] <xtknight> !MOTU
[05:07] <ubotu> motu is short for Masters of the Universe. The brave souls who maintain the packages in the Universe section of Ubuntu. See  http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU

[05:07] <RoundyT1> thanks!

[05:12] <AmirBlum> can someone here help me?

[05:12] <AmirBlum> whoops
[05:12] <AmirBlum> ?
[05:12] <xtknight> tony_ubuntu_newb, the exe is generally just a SFX (self extracting) zip which you can grab with linux.  or you can use wine to extract it sometimes if it's a different exe

[05:14] <G^Deka> xtknight: had some trouble mounting but it mounts now - ls works - looks fine so far
[05:14] <xtknight> G^Deka, check 'dmesg'
[05:14] <xtknight> tony_ubuntu_newb, one moment.  trying
[05:15] <Carsten[DE] > Hi!
[05:15] <tony_ubuntu_newb> xtknight, Thanks alot
[05:15] <G^Deka> xtknight: looks like its all fine in there
[05:15] <tman_ubuntu> What's up people!!
[05:15] <jhall> hi, i'm using 6.06 on a Dell Inspiron 9400. Sometimes when I leave my computer for long periods of time I come back to a black screen. The only thing I can do is hit the power button. When that happens I hear the system shut down. Any ideas what might be causing this?
[05:16] <xtknight> tony_ubuntu_newb, if you have a floppy. you can try doing "wine BRasdf.exe" to get it
[05:16] <zemo> hey
[05:16] <zemo> what is that command to print out all your hardware info
[05:16] <Carsten[DE] > I have freshly installed: Xubuntu 6.06LTS / alternate... in order to get my audiocard running I need module 'snd-es18xx' that is mentioned alot in the forums... this module cannot be found (modprobe/lsmod negative)
[05:16] <xtknight> G^Deka, alright well i think it got recovered.  just remember never use grub-install (hd,x,x)  only (hdx) for MBR
[05:16] <tman_ubuntu> upgrade question here.
[05:16] <spasticteapot> jhall: Might be an ACPI bug.
[05:16] <xtknight> zemo, sudo lshw  or lspci
[05:16] <zemo> ktx
[05:16] <spasticteapot> IThat happened to me on my old 9100.
[05:16] <jhall> spasticteapot: i'll google that
[05:16] <tman_ubuntu> want to upgrade to Fiesty...

[05:17] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[05:17] <spasticteapot> jhall: ACPI is essentially power management for your laptop
[05:17] <tman_ubuntu> need to move my user profile.
[05:17] <jhall> spasticteapot: what's the solution?
[05:17] <xtknight> tman_ubuntu, feisty installer can import user profiles in some cases
[05:17] <tony_ubuntu_newb> Xteven, I'm really new. I just installed Ubuntu. Iam installing Wine now.
[05:17] <G^Deka> xtknight: well grub was installed by the ubuntu installer when all this happened
[05:17] <spasticteapot> jhall: With older versions of Ubuntu in particular, when the laptop tries to wake up from sleep or turn off the LCD, it won't work.
[05:17] <xtknight> tman_ubuntu, i would ask in the feisty support channel #ubuntu+1  also
[05:17] <tman_ubuntu> well i want to go cleaner than that.
[05:17] <spasticteapot> jhall: Upgrade to fesity and hope it works?
[05:17] <wilk> Sorry to bother you with a stupid question but isn't dpkg-reconfigure console-setup supposed to allow me to set the keyboard layout for the console ?
[05:17] <spasticteapot> Buy a thinkpad?
[05:17] <xtknight> G^Deka, it must have installed incorrectly.  odd though
[05:18] <Carsten[DE] > Anyone can help me on installing a module?
[05:18] <G^Deka> xtknight: it is odd
[05:18] <jhall> spasticteapot: hehe ok, i'll try the former ;)
[05:18] <compengi> how to format a flash disk?
[05:18] <xtknight> tony_ubuntu_newb, if you'd like, i can upload the img file for that floppy
[05:18] <tony_ubuntu_newb> xtknight,  I'm really new. I just installed Ubuntu. I am installing Wine now.
[05:18] <xtknight> tony_ubuntu_newb, you can then dd=  and copy it to the floppy byte by byte
[05:18] <xtknight> tony_ubuntu_newb, only 1.4M big
[05:18] <tman_ubuntu> thanks.  i'll zoom over to ubuntu+1 forum.

[05:19] <ForrestF> I'm looking for a program that can dump the output of X right to the Hard Drive, taking almost no cpu (kinda like Fraps)
[05:19] <xtknight> ForrestF, desktop screen capture basically
[05:19] <dyrne> compengi: example:  sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1    where sda1 is whatever partition. might be sdb1 etc.
[05:19] <xtknight> not sure
[05:19] <ForrestF> im on a kinda slow cpu (450mhz)
[05:19] <ForrestF> xtknight: yep
[05:19] <tony_ubuntu_newb> xtknight, That would be great but you will have to walk me through how to do it.
[05:19] <xtknight> tony_ubuntu_newb, that's fine.  give me a sec
[05:20] <ForrestF> xtknight: ive tried VNC stuff, but its slow,
[05:20] <tony_ubuntu_newb> Ive got ya' beat ForrestF I have a 333 with 256 of ram :)
[05:20] <petr478> how to mount ntfs usb disks using ntfs-3g module?
[05:21] <G^Deka> xtknight: Thanks for everything, i think its working now
[05:21] <compengi> dyrne, sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb
[05:21] <compengi> Password:

[05:21] <xtknight> tony_ubuntu_newb, got the disk image file.  go into a terminal and type this.  "wget -c http://xtknight.atothosting.com/dellbiosupdate.img"
[05:21] <Pensacola> petr478 http://www.ntfs-3g.org
[05:21] <xtknight> G^Deka, cool
[05:21] <Carsten[DE] > Anyone can help me accessing missing module snd-es18xx?
[05:21] <xtknight> G^Deka, if you had XP on that partition and you need to boot it, you can fixboot without negative consequences now that grub is out of there.
[05:22] <Pensacola> /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
[05:22] <xtknight> G^Deka, i would do chkdsk/etc first though
[05:22] <Pensacola> something like that in fstab
[05:22] <ForrestF> tony_ubuntu_newb: but is it a p3 or p2
[05:22] <xtknight> G^Deka, you can actually check ntfs from linux.  unmount and then try "sudo fsck.ntfs /dev/partition"
[05:23] <G^Deka> xtknight: thanks
[05:23] <xtknight> G^Deka, ah its ntfsfix i tihnk actually.  not sure.
[05:23] <tony_ubuntu_newb> ForrestF, PII
[05:23] <xtknight> tony_ubuntu_newb, done with that command?
[05:23] <tony_ubuntu_newb> xtknight, Got it.
[05:23] <spasticteapot>  tony_ubuntu_newb: That's your CPU?
[05:24] <xtknight> tony_ubuntu_newb, unmount your floppy.  do "sudo umount /dev/fd0"
[05:24] <G^Deka> xtknight: you saved my bacon, the gf wont kill me now, i did ntfsfix looks good, ill do a reboot and see
[05:24] <ForrestF> tony_ubuntu_newb: i bet its a slot 1 right?
[05:24] <compengi> xtknight, do you know how to format a flash disk?
[05:24] <xtknight> G^Deka, :P good
[05:24] <Bsims> Grr anyone know why rdiff-backup is ignoring my exclude list?
[05:24] <xtknight> compengi, yes.  unmount and "sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/flashdevice"
[05:24] <Bsims> I even tried telling it manually
[05:24] <xtknight> compengi, actually add -F32 to parameters for mkfs.vfat
[05:24] <tony_ubuntu_newb> xtknight,  Ok
[05:24] <tony_ubuntu_newb> ForrestF, Yep\
[05:25] <xtknight> tony_ubuntu_newb, now type "file dellbiosupdate.img"  what does it say?
[05:25] <benjb0> hi all
[05:25] <petr478> Pensacola: thanks. i know how to mount it manually but i want to automatically mount any usb drive. i guess i should create alias to kernel module and i do not know where
[05:25] <tony_ubuntu_newb> xtknight, dellbiosupdate.img: DOS floppy 1440k, x86 hard disk boot sector
[05:25] <Pensacola> why not format them as fat32?
[05:25] <dyrne> xtknight: i blieve vfat is fat32 mkfs.msdos -F32 would be same reslult. i could be wrong
[05:25] <AlbertoP> hello
[05:25] <compengi> xtknight, sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb

[05:27] <cj> tony_ubuntu_newb: bad block on your floppy, probably
[05:27] <leleobhz> now i need to put the support into wpa_supplicant
[05:28] <tony_ubuntu_newb> xtknight, Yes
[05:28] <amorphous_> i know this is off topic, but, does anyone know a key word to find out how to install video into a web site
[05:28] <compengi> xtknight, in gparted it's unnamed partition
[05:28] <leleobhz> so, how can i insert new files into the package, since if i insert, dpkg-buildpackage say ive changed the place
[05:28] <tony_ubuntu_newb> xtknight, Let me find another
[05:28] <leleobhz> ?
[05:28] <xtknight> tony_ubuntu_newb, hmm.  ok.  try this.  "sudo mkdosfs /dev/fd0"
[05:28] <xtknight> tony_ubuntu_newb, or you can do that
[05:28] <xtknight> compengi, "unnamed" ?
[05:28] <amorphous_> it's just a key word i'm after to stop me from getting the world of adverts at my fingertips... :/
[05:28] <cj> amorphous_: swf, flash
[05:28] <compengi> xtknight, i mean unallocated
[05:28] <xtknight> compengi, so create a partition

[05:44] <zero> my card just appear when i type that command
[05:44] <vox754> AmirBlum, Try control panel, system, and hardware info, or something. Open the case and take a look. You need to find the chipset, and also, what guides have you been following?
[05:45] <zero> it's a pro/wireless 2200bg network connection
[05:45] <xtknight> zero, that is good.  can you paste the output of the command into a Pastebin (not in this channel)?
[05:45] <xtknight> !pastebin | zero

[05:53] <Ashbringer> sogen: Ah, thanks. Apparently my having the same problem as you isn't a bug then.
[05:53] <vox754> AmirBlum, according to the open driver http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/?go=devices the 4306 chipset is stable and should work, but maybe you need to use fwcutter to get the firmware
[05:53] <Daverocks> sogen: lsmod | grep snd
[05:53] <xtknight> sogen, sudo lshw -class sound
[05:53] <xtknight> then look for driver=
[05:53] <sidny4> anyone know how to get surround sound working in ubuntu 6.06?
[05:53] <Daverocks> sogen: follow xtknight :P
[05:53] <AmirBlum> ok, what's fwcutter?
[05:53] <arcanusx> NBX: use mysql -p and it will promt for a password
[05:53] <xtknight> :)
[05:53] <xtknight> AmirBlum, it cuts firmware from the windows driver
[05:53] <NBX> arcanusx, but what password should i type?
[05:53] <zero> xtknight, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14212/

[05:57] <vox754> Firefoxman, the USB cards are the harder to get running, if you can please use PCI
[05:57] <zero> xtknight, nothing appears
[05:57] <Daverocks> sogen: is it just teamspeak that has the problem?
[05:57] <cypher1> !edgy > jonathan_
[05:57] <xtknight> zero, type "sudo iwconfig eth1"  ?
[05:58] <xtknight> zero, then what happens?
[05:58] <sogen> Daverocks: i do now know ... i only use mic for ts :D
[05:58] <Daverocks> sogen: like, is it fine in gnome-sound-recorder?
[05:58] <Daverocks> sogen: well, try ;)
[05:58] <jonathan_> thanks
[05:58] <iaj> i am having problems installing 6.06 LTS Server in VMWare.  after installing when it boots the first time it hangs at the following:  uncompressing linux... ok, booting kernel
[05:58] <iaj> can some one help?
[05:59] <theacolyte> iaj: #ubuntu-server
[05:59] <sogen> Daverocks: sound recorder dont works :(
[05:59] <sogen> Daverocks: it make some error on run
[05:59] <zero> xtknight, just give me sec
[05:59] <Daverocks> sogen: is teamspeak running?
[05:59] <tmroland> anyone wanan join up  in doing a distro suited for porn  ?
[05:59] <nn-k-laptop> get the newest kernel
[05:59] <iaj> thx
[05:59] <gatorworks> does anyone know a way to triple boot osx, vista, and ubuntu?
[05:59] <vox754> tmroland, you are so in trouble
[06:00] <talki1> where can i set such thing : open some type of files with exact application?? i don't know why, but "open with" button in preferences doesn't work
[06:00] <zero> xtknight, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14215/
[06:00] <gatorworks> using core 2 duo 2.66
[06:00] <sogen> Daverocks: yes
[06:00] <Daverocks> tmroland: how exactly would you tailor a distro for porn? what kind of advantages could it have over other distros? :P
[06:00] <vox754> !offtopic
[06:00] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[06:00] <xtknight> lol
[06:00] <Daverocks> sogen: if teamspeak is hogging the sound device, sound recorder won't work
[06:00] <billy> is there a way to set the unmaximized size of a window?
[06:00] <xtknight> zero, it hasnt foudn an access point.  maybe it's not close enogh to the router
[06:00] <tmroland> Daverocks: i cant say here i'll get in trouble
[06:01] <xtknight> billy, what do you mean?  usually you just resize it
[06:01] <Daverocks> tmroland: haha, ok ;)
[06:01] <sogen> Daverocks: on reconder my voice is good
[06:01] <zero> xtknight, actually im pretty sure that im close enought
[06:01] <Daverocks> sogen: ahah. so it _is_ teamspeak
[06:01] <xtknight> zero, open another terminal and use "sudo iwevent" to watch for wireless events on the device
[06:01] <zero> ok
[06:01] <sogen> Daverocks: then whta i can do ?
[06:01] <Daverocks> sogen: i myself also had noise issues with teamspeak
[06:01] <xtknight> zero, and then you'll have to try some iwconfig commands...or network-manager maybe to see if it can find the access point.  or set the ESSID.  btw are you using WPA or WEP or anything?
[06:02] <Daverocks> sogen: check out your teamspeak settings
[06:02] <talki1> how to change application for openning files
[06:02] <zero> wep
[06:02] <billy> xtknight: well, I'd ~like~ to be able to click the unmaximize button and it actually unmaximize.  As of now the window doesn't resize at all.  It just "bounces".  Tried looking in Configuration Editor, but I can't see where to set a pixel size.
[06:02] <xtknight> zero, alright.  well did you try system->administration->network and setting the wireless settings there?
[06:02] <zero> it just can't find the access point i think
[06:02] <xtknight> billy, which window?
[06:02] <zero> yep
[06:02] <Raeth> GNOME's acting slow and my computer's fans keep speeding up to handle an apparent strain. Is this normal?
[06:02] <billy> xtknight: swiftfox.
[06:02] <xtknight> zero, well try again now that we did ifconfig, etc
[06:03] <zero> xtknihgt, i thought that was supposed to locate the access point
[06:03] <xtknight> billy, it is unmaximizing actually just grab it on the far side of the window border
[06:03] <Daverocks> sogen: the thing is that teamspeak uses oss, not alsa >.>
[06:03] <Daverocks> Raeth: not usually, no
[06:03] <morrolan> Hi, in Edgy, how can I stop a window being full-szie regardless of whether it is maximized or not?  When I restore the window, it is still fullscreen by default?
[06:03] <xtknight> zero, i thought so too ;P.  but you can manually enter an ESSID perhaps
[06:03] <OmegaNine_> Can someone sugest a good TV viewing program? (like for a TV tuner card)
[06:03] <zero> xtknight, yeah, i did it but just nothing happens
[06:03] <xtknight> zero, "sudo iwconfig eth1 essid HERE-IS-MY-SSID"
[06:03] <Raeth> Is there any way I can speed Ubuntu up or check to see what might be causing the slowdown?
[06:03] <billy> xtknight: right.  i know how to do it manually.  but I thought I could maybe set it automatically so I don't have to set the unmaximize size every reboot.  but, it's no big deal.  just thought I could find it.
[06:04] <xtknight> billy, oh not sure, sorry
[06:04] <Daverocks> Raeth: type "top" at a terminal
[06:04] <zero> xtknight, well i actually did it in network manager
[06:04] <erUSUL> Raeth: check in 'top' the CPU consumers
[06:04] <xtknight> zero, try the iwconfig ESSID cmd.  then watch iwevent.
[06:04] <xtknight> zero, btw has iwevent printed anything
[06:04] <Le_Frog> hey, is there an specific channel to talk about Feisty? :)

[06:04] <FlyingSquirrel32> xtknight, cables: I know this response is a little late, but yes, you can have avatars in ubuntu, You set them in system->prefs->about me, and see them when you choose a gdm theme that lists the users
[06:04] <Raeth> Xorg seems to be taking an average of 2%, and several others are 1%
[06:05] <zero> xtknight, i havent probe it yet, just give me second, im not really fast..
[06:05] <xtknight> FlyingSquirrel32, ahh interesting
[06:05] <morrolan> Hi, in Edgy, how can I stop a window being full-szie regardless of whether it is maximized or not?  When I restore the window, it is still fullscreen by default?
[06:05] <xtknight> morrolan, you can resize it.  grab the edges of the window... same question as billy it seems though
[06:05] <xtknight> :O
[06:05] <cables> FlyingSquirrel32, ??
[06:05] <FlyingSquirrel32> but they don't have any avatars included, the should have a small selection
[06:05] <cables> FlyingSquirrel32, i didn't ask that
[06:05] <morrolan> xtknight - I know I can resize it, but I want it smaller by default.
[06:06] <xtknight> cables, i did
[06:06] <zero> xtknight, its just scannining but nothing found
[06:06] <FlyingSquirrel32> cables: back at 10:58 you said I was off-topic
[06:06] <zero> xtknight, "scan request completed"
[06:06] <xtknight> zero, interesting.  even entering the SSID wont work?
[06:06] <cables> FlyingSquirrel32, I don't remember... sounds on-topic to me.
[06:06] <Raeth> Most apps will remember the size you drag it to, but some apps don't take any notice
[06:06] <xtknight> zero, what happens in iwevent after you do "sudo iwconfig eth1 essid asdf-SSID-here"
[06:06] <zero> yep didn't work
[06:06] <morrolan> billy have you found out a satisfactory solution?
[06:07] <billy> morrolan: i'm looking through the Configuration Editor.
[06:07] <zero> xtknight, let me check
[06:07] <xtknight> billy, it could also be in about:config for firefox/swiftfox.  google default window size perhaps?
[06:07] <morrolan> billy I've looked in everything which seems relevant (i.e. nautilus) but I didn't find anything :(
[06:07] <xtknight> morrolan, any program in particular ?
[06:07] <Raeth> Barely anything is using my CPU and the fans keep going crazy
[06:07] <FlyingSquirrel32> So... my question was, where can I get a nice selection of avatars I can present to my users?
[06:07] <morrolan> xtknight - yes, nautilus!
[06:08] <xtknight> morrolan, alright that would be in gconf-editor if anything.  not sure though
[06:08] <zero> xtknight, well nothing, just appears a msg "essid name set", and then keep scanning
[06:08] <billy> morrolan: yeah.  me neither.  I try to unmaximize and it just stays the same size.  it's weetoded.
[06:08] <morrolan> xtknight it is only nautilus that bothers me
[06:08] <xtknight> zero, specify MAC address of AP then
[06:08] <xtknight> zero, "sudo iwconfig eth1 ap 00:00:00:00:00:00"  etc
[06:08] <Daverocks> zero: "sudo iwconfig iwlist eth1 scan"? or have you done that?
[06:08] <xtknight> morrolan, please see http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=nautilus+default+size&btnG=Google+Search
[06:08] <ardchoille> billy: Did you try to click unmax and then resie the window, and then quit and restart to see if the new size settings kept?
[06:08] <xtknight> Daverocks, ya he's scanned, cant find.  trying manual MAC ap
[06:09] <Firefoxman> What would be the best PCI Wireless USB card to work with?
[06:09] <zero> xtknight, ok i just cant know that.... 'cause the router it's not in my place
[06:09] <Raeth> Both the Debian live CD and Windows XP are way faster than this Ubuntu 6.10
[06:09] <zero> Daverocks, i'll probe it now
[06:09] <Daverocks> xtknight: hum. can he associate with anything?
[06:09] <xtknight> zero, ok try Daverocks' command
[06:09] <billy> ardchoille: yeah.  they never keep over restarts.
[06:09] <xtknight> Daverocks, i dont think so
[06:09] <ardchoille> billy: :(
[06:10] <xtknight> billy, try resizing and then File->Quit to properly exit the app/save size setings?  just a guess
[06:10] <Firefoxman> vox754: What would be the BEST PCI card to buy?
[06:10] <xtknight> i think atheros is good for linux
[06:10] <Daverocks> zero: you _can_ find the BSSID (MAC) of the access point as long as you can see it somehow. BSSIDs are easier to find out than ESSIDs
[06:10] <billy> xtknight: will try.
[06:10] <Firefoxman> I would like to know before I buy one that isnt supported, likte the USB I got.
[06:10] <zero> Daverocks, it says unrecognised wireless request eth1
[06:10] <xtknight> !wireless
[06:10] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[06:10] <Daverocks> zero: sorry, i gave the wrong command, try "sudo iwlist eth1 scan"

[06:15] <Puppy1> I need help with getting MPlayer to work in Firefox. I have downloaded the extenstion but I do not know how to install it. I found this: http://www.streamingradioguide.com but I don't really understand it. :) Can anyone help?

[06:16] <billy> gatorworks: there IS a way though.  check macosx_86 forums.
[06:16] <gavinjb> NBX, first are you trying to connect with root from the machine that MySQL is installed on, if not you will have to setup permissions for your other machine
[06:16] <Firefoxman> !samba > firefoxman
[06:16] <zero> Daverocks, nothing
[06:17] <NBX> gavinjb, well it is installed to Linux Ubuntu and i am doing at the same server everything, with sudo permissions, but localhost = 192.168.2.100
[06:17] <zero> Daverocks, it just says "scan request completed"
[06:17] <Raeth> Does anyone know what could possibly be slowing down an otherwise fresh installation of Ubuntu?
[06:17] <gavinjb> NBX, also what are you using to conenct MySQL, MySQL Query browser?
[06:17] <zero> Daverocks, and keep showing that msg
[06:17] <Daverocks> zero: only iwevent should say that, what about the output of iwlist eth1 scan? does _that_ say an ESSID?
[06:17] <Puppy1> xtknight, it seams that it is already installed. but when I go somewhere where it should work it does not.
[06:17] <NBX> gavinjb, "mysql -u root -p"
[06:18] <Daverocks> Raeth: hmm, nothing seems to be hogging the CPU in top?
[06:18] <xtknight> is there an "rc-update" (i.e. gentoo) for ubuntu?
[06:18] <vox754> Raeth, graphics card?
[06:18] <andi5> hi... how do i set the vga setting grub *itself* will use? thanks for any hint!

[06:18] <zero> Daverocks, yes the essid appears there
[06:18] <NBX> theacolyte, oh, ok
[06:18] <Daverocks> Raeth: yeah, check what video drivers you're using
[06:18] <xtknight> Raeth, slow pc?  try gnome-system-monitor and see what's going on with the cpu
[06:19] <Daverocks> zero: ok, so have you tried "iwconfig eth0 essid YourESSID"?
[06:19] <rambo3> zero sudo iwconfig eth1 essid "" && sudo iwconfig eth1 key on && sudo iwconfig mode managed
[06:19] <andi5> i mean, it seems to load in 720x400, but my monitor does not support that

[06:19] <ferronica> i am unable to login normally in ubuntu 6.10
[06:19] <Puppy1> xtknight, it seams that it is already installed. what do I do?
[06:19] <Daverocks> andi5: grub, or the linux kernel boot messages?
[06:19] <zero> Daverocks, i do that in the manager network, but i'll try the command
[06:19] <rambo3> Daverocks, it wont hur to retype it
[06:20] <andi5> Daverocks: grub, i do not see it (before i load the kernel)
[06:20] <zero> rambo3, ok just give me a seccond
[06:20] <xtknight> Puppy1, hmm it's a little more complicated then.  you can use "about:plugins" in firefox to see if it detects the plugin.  32bit firefox?
[06:20] <Raeth> xtknight: the system monitor's CPU graph is all over the place. It's shooting from 6% to up to 50% at random
[06:20] <Daverocks> andi5: you're using standard text grub?
[06:20] <Puppy1> ok

[06:22] <gavinjb> NBX, what do you get when you try to run mysql -u root -p
[06:22] <bentech> wifi
[06:22] <zero> Daverocks, but how can i put the wep key there?
[06:22] <NBX> gavinjb, same error
[06:22] <Daverocks> berent: try fsck
[06:22] <bentech> wiiiiiiiFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
[06:22] <xtknight> NBX, maybe you need a root acct first.
[06:22] <rambo3> NBX, try safe start mysql or whatever its called
[06:22] <zero> Daverocks, or i dont have to put it there?
[06:22] <ferronica> Daverocks: can you help e out
[06:22] <Daverocks> zero: sudo iwconfig eth1 key open YourHexadecimalWEPKey
[06:22] <berent> Daverocks : what will it do?
[06:22] <Firefoxman> !spam > bentech
[06:22] <vox754> !wifi > bentech
[06:22] <NBX> the mysql didn`t ask me for any root password!
[06:22] <Daverocks> ferronica: when you tell me your problem, yes
[06:22] <Raeth> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14219/
[06:22] <andi5> Daverocks: so do you know a way to say grub not to switch to 720x400 and use the current bios selected resolution?
[06:22] <xtknight> ferronica, what's the problem?
[06:23] <NBX> !spam > NBX
[06:23] <Flare183> erusul:>sudo: unable to lookup jesse-desktop via gethostbyname()
[06:23] <Daverocks> berent: check filesystem and try to fix errors. look at "man fsck" for options
[06:23] <Firefoxman> HOW can I find out what my WINS server is for SAMBA networking?
[06:23] <xtknight> Firefoxman, it should <probably> be null in most cases
[06:23] <gavinjb> NBX, have you setup a password on root, should't make a difference, but just a thought
[06:23] <ferronica> Daverocks: i am unable to boot my ubuntu 6.10
[06:23] <xtknight> Firefoxman, as in comment out WINS line in samba.conf
[06:23] <Flare183> please help
[06:23] <xtknight> ## it
[06:23] <NBX> gavinjb, where can i set that?
[06:23] <Firefoxman> xtknight: Thanks
[06:24] <bentech> yes I want to configure my wifi
[06:24] <whoppix> hey all. i have the following problem.. i have a thinkpad, with an external screen attached to it, and i want ubuntu to automatically switch to a higher resolution if the external monitor is attached. (or at least it should dedect it on x start) is there any tutorial how i can accomplish that? thanks for illumination in advance.
[06:24] <xtknight> ferronica, we need more detalis.  what symptoms, what did you try, etc?
[06:24] <zero> Daverocks, it says unrecognised wireless request
[06:24] <erUSUL> Flare183: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-78324.html
[06:24] <Daverocks> andi5: not sure why grub isn't honouring BIOS's resolution, look in /boot/grub/menu.lst, there may be a command in there that tells grub to switch resolution, which you don't want
[06:24] <ferronica> Daverocks: It just hangs when Nautilus window come
[06:24] <Daverocks> ferronica: ok, so it does start up, and you can log in?
[06:24] <berent> Daverocks : fs is ok as i booted it but now if i try to move it then the dir will be overwritten without the part which was transferred before power cut
[06:24] <xtknight> Daverocks, i believe "eth1 key open" is a separate command
[06:24] <Daverocks> zero: your wireless interface IS eth1?
[06:24] <xtknight> zero,  Daverocks, you have to do "open" and setting the key separately per. manual for iwconfig
[06:25] <ferronica> Daverocks: after login
[06:25] <andi5> Daverocks: yep, i checked that file... i also added "vga=773", but it does not seem to have any effect
[06:25] <bentech> atheros
[06:25] <erUSUL> Flare183: the problem may be in /etc/hosts or in /etc/hostname
[06:25] <zero> Daverocks, yet it is
[06:25] <ferronica> Daverocks: a window came Nautilus
[06:25] <blackslash> Is it any good DC clients? That are easy to use...
[06:25] <berent> Daverocks : fs is ok as i booted it but now if i try to move it then the dir will be overwritten without the part which was transferred before power cut
[06:25] <gavinjb> NBX, how did you install mysql
[06:25] <xtknight> Flare183, may need to use single user mode (Recovery) and edit /etc/hosts or /etc/hostname as erUSUL suggested.
[06:25] <ferronica> Daverocks: there ubuntu hangs
[06:25] <NBX> gavinjb, apt-get mysql-server mysql-client
[06:25] <zero> xtknight, ? didnt get it
[06:25] <NBX> gavinjb, apt-get install tb
[06:25] <Daverocks> xtknight: sure? eth1 isn't parsed as a command, it's parsed as an interface, that command has worked for me
[06:25] <ferronica> Daverocks: i just loggeg in safe mode
[06:26] <xtknight> zero, passing on some info to Daverocks  , i know next to nothing about wireless
[06:26] <xtknight> :P
[06:26] <Raeth> xtknight: I pasted my dmesg. Are they meant to be that big? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14219/
[06:26] <xtknight> Raeth, yup
[06:26] <Daverocks> ferronica: hangs as in totally locks up?
[06:26] <whoppix> i btw already played around with a second screen in the xorg.conf, but not sure how i would attach that second screen to the device.
[06:26] <xtknight> Daverocks, ahh not sure, just looking in the manual
[06:26] <zero> Daverocks, ok
[06:26] <xtknight> Daverocks, the error he recv'd seemed like 'invalid syntax'
[06:26] <vox754> Raeth, are you on PC or laptop?
[06:26] <Daverocks> berent: um, the filesystem can be ok and accessible, but still have errors
[06:26] <ferronica> Daverocks: not totally keyboard works
[06:27] <Raeth> vox754: PC, do you want specs?
[06:27] <Daverocks> xtknight: yes, but i've had problems with bad drivers before where the wireless interface actually doesn't recognise standard wireless commands
[06:27] <berent> Daverocks : ok but now the dir at original place is gone
[06:27] <berent> Daverocks : is there any chance
[06:27] <vox754> Raeth, YES. You are using Feisty
[06:27] <knapper> I'm fixing to reboot and format, what am I forgetting to backup? :)
[06:27] <Daverocks> berent: hm, and not all of it is transferred to where you wanted?
[06:27] <ferronica> Daverocks: i just logged in change session
[06:27] <berent> Daverocks : yes
[06:27] <Daverocks> ferronica: so what part "hangs"?
[06:27] <zero> Daverocks, so, theres anything i can do?
[06:27] <xtknight> Raeth, scrolling through, i see: IO-APIC  issues with IRQ.   some ACPI problems.    i also see lots of flooding on the network adapter.  iptables it looks like?
[06:27] <gavinjb> nbx, try loading synaptic and checking which version of mysql you have installed as you might have some how managed to install 2 version that are conflicting
[06:28] <Raeth> xtknight: I have a few things set in Firestarter
[06:28] <NBX> gavinjb, how can i launch it?
[06:28] <ferronica> Daverocks: nautilus hangs at startup
[06:28] <gavinjb> do you have ubuntu server installed or ubuntu
[06:28] <NBX> yes
[06:28] <xtknight> Raeth, it *could* be the problem. i would disable firestarter and iptables, and see what hapepns
[06:28] <NBX> no
[06:28] <NBX> i dont know
[06:28] <Daverocks> zero: i think your drivers are ok because the scan worked
[06:28] <ferronica> Daverocks: you know a Nautilus window come
[06:28] <gavinjb> which?
[06:28] <deerhunter> does any one know how I would uninstall my audio card then reinstall it?
[06:28] <NBX> gavinjb, i dont know
[06:28] <Daverocks> ferronica: yeah
[06:28] <zero> Daverocks, i think that too
[06:28] <Raeth> xtknight: Okay, but how do I disable iptables? I thought it was built into the kernel?
[06:28] <xtknight> deerhunter, why do you want to reinstall?
[06:28] <Firefoxman> I changed my hostname, and now NONE of my applications will start.
[06:29] <Daverocks> zero: what drivers and card are you using?
[06:29] <vox754> Raeth, I think it may be your video card, but I don't know which card you have.
[06:29] <ferronica> Daverocks: just there it hangs
[06:29] <xtknight> Raeth, not sure.  just wipe the rules.  disabling firestarter should do it
[06:29] <Daverocks> andi5: mm, the "vga" option is only relevant to the kernel itself
[06:29] <Raeth> vox754: Does the video card affect Python's performance?
[06:29] <zero> Daverocks, card  it's a pro/wireless intel 2200
[06:29] <gavinjb> goto systems menu in gnome and select administration and Synaptics Package Manager
[06:29] <Daverocks> ferronica: ok, just nautilus hangs? can you still move your mouse?
[06:29] <ferronica> Daverocks: but keyboard work
[06:29] <deerhunter> xthknight, 100% for the volume now is what 50% used to be
[06:29] <Daverocks> zero: i have exactly the same card :D
[06:29] <xtknight> Daverocks, driver for zero's card is ipw2200
[06:29] <xtknight> seemed to have been loaded
[06:29] <Raeth> xtknight: I can uninstall Firestarter- will that disable it?
[06:29] <ferronica> Daverocks: yes i can move my mouse
[06:29] <Daverocks> xtknight: i know, i use it ;)
[06:29] <xtknight> Raeth, probably
[06:29] <andi5> Daverocks: another idea was to specify something before executing "setup" in the grub shell.... but what? :)
[06:29] <Daverocks> ferronica: try killing nautilus and starting again
[06:30] <ferronica> Daverocks: but system dont boot after that Nautilus window
[06:30] <xtknight> andi5, check setvbe  http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=grub+video+mode&btnG=Google+Search
[06:30] <Daverocks> andi5: not sure, haven't had much experience with low level grub
[06:30] <vox754> Raeth, I used a "vesa" driver and everything was slow, just as you describe. Then I changed it to "via" and it all works okay.
[06:30] <zero> Daverocks, really
[06:30] <Daverocks> zero: yeah :P
[06:30] <xtknight> Raeth, ahh yeah also make sure your video drivers are installed (like vox754  said)
[06:30] <wilhart> I've been testing 7.04 for couple of months. About 2 weeks ago the CDROM drive stopped working after a kernel update. When a CDROM is inserted, I see the following dmesg output:
[06:30] <wilhart> [31402.497279]  ata2.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen
[06:30] <Raeth> vox754: I use the prop. fglrx Radeon drivers and have 3D accel.
[06:30] <ferronica> Daverocks: how to killl nautilus
[06:30] <Daverocks> zero: but i'm not using ubuntu at the moment, however, when i do, it works perfectly
[06:30] <zero> Daveroks, looking over the forums, ive heard some troubles with that card
[06:30] <Daverocks> ferronica: open a terminal and type "killall nautilus"
[06:30] <xtknight> intel wireless is generally stable
[06:30] <Daverocks> zero: i've had no troubles with it, it's pretty good
[06:31] <xtknight> zero it looks like your signal is weak.  does a window pc work?
[06:31] <ferronica> Daverocks: There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.
[06:31] <ferronica> Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly.
[06:31] <ferronica> The last error message was:
[06:31] <ferronica> Unable to determine the address of the message bus (try 'man dbus-launch' and 'man dbus-daemon' for help)
[06:31] <ferronica> GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in.
[06:31] <greig_> hi guys, is there a file where i can fix my grub boot, i installed xp yesterday and its messed my boot up

[06:31] <gavinjb> NBX, I am creating a new tab for this conversation, please look there are in the main area it is getting to confusing
[06:31] <xtknight> greig_, grub-install
[06:31] <Daverocks> ferronica: where did you see that message?
[06:31] <ferronica> Daverocks: oh
[06:31] <CarlFK> trying to install feisty in qemu - it can't find any drives - installer's dmesg shows "ide0: I/O resource 0x3F6-0x3F6 not free. ... ide0: ports already in use, skipping probe" - anyone know what is going on?
[06:31] <zero> xtknight, with windows i have no troubles, works perfectly
[06:31] <xtknight> greig_, are you on the livecd now?
[06:31] <xtknight> zero, ahh ok
[06:31] <zero> Daveroks, yeah its actually pretty good but with windows lol
[06:31] <NBX> gavinjb, what new tab - new chan?
[06:31] <greig_> xtknight : no the live cd wont boot, i used super grub
[06:31] <xtknight> greig_, supergrub?  hmm?
[06:31] <Daverocks> zero: my ipw2200 actually works _better_ under linux than under windows :D
[06:32] <greig_> xtknight : thats ment to sort out my grub?
[06:32] <ferronica> Daverocks: when i change my login sessiion then my system boots up , after booting it showed me this error window
[06:32] <LoneShadow> anyone know how to find what version of a particular lib file is ?
[06:32] <xtknight> greig_, no idea what super grub is
[06:32] <zero> Daverocks, but mine doesn't :(
[06:32] <xtknight> LoneShadow, hm like what lib file?  usually it's like  asdf.so.5 meaning version 5
[06:32] <greig_> xtknight : i just googled and it came up with that as a grub fix option
[06:32] <Daverocks> alright, well it's not good that gnome-settings-daemon doesn't start, it's a shame gnome doesn't give more information
[06:32] <LoneShadow> libdvdcss
[06:32] <LoneShadow> and libdvdcss2
[06:32] <shazzr> hmmm...some serious weird stuff going on here now. I've installed the nvidia driver with envy, but what meets me is just a black screen. I can get rid of the black screen by adding "Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP"" OR "Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP"" to my xorg.conf file. The only thing is, that it only runs t 800x600 AND there's a black border on the right....:S
[06:32] <xtknight> LoneShadow, but you can get the exact by checking the package.  "dpkg -S /path/to/lib"  then "dpkg -s packagename"
[06:32] <billy> greig_: super grub has a "fix mbr" option on it.  worked for me.
[06:32] <xtknight> LoneShadow, dpkg -s libdvdcss
[06:33] <Daverocks> zero: ok, you sure your interface is eth1? if you do "sudo iwconfig" is that the one that has the information?
[06:33] <greig_> xtknight but it has fixed my grub, however. when i choose my linux from the grub ment it says error cannot mount partition or words to that effect, any ideas?
[06:33] <zero> Daverocks, i'll send you the pastbin
[06:33] <gavinjb> NBX, nevermind try running the following apt-cache search mysql-server-5.0 and tell me if you get any results
[06:33] <ferronica> Daverocks: do you know what error is that for??
[06:33] <Daverocks> zero: k
[06:33] <xircx> whats the command to change what java im using?
[06:34] <LoneShadow> xtknight: thanks :)
[06:34] <NBX> gavinjb, current version
[06:34] <Daverocks> ferronica: well, it's difficult to troubleshoot _why_ it's happening, but it's why nautilus won't start
[06:34] <eldude> can someone help me out.. I did a ubuntu install, kernel is 2.6.17, i want to upgrade to 2.6.20
[06:34] <eldude> apt-get doesnt see 2.6.20
[06:34] <ferronica> Daverocks: ok thanx
[06:34] <zero> Daverocks, lol wtf, it says that im trying to be spamming the pastebin???
[06:34] <eldude> how can i go about getting apt-get configured to find that kernel ? 2.6.20
[06:34] <billy> eldude: you'll have to upgrade to Feisty.
[06:34] <Daverocks> zero: how is that possible, lol?
[06:34] <gavinjb> now try apt-cache search mysql-server-4.1
[06:34] <xtknight> gotta go, be back later
[06:34] <zero> Daverocks, lol i have no idea
[06:34] <xtknight> greig_, sorry ^

[06:36] <VladimirBG> when is fiesty due?
[06:36] <billy> VladimirBG: the 19th.
[06:36] <greig_> billy : i done the option u said to fix grub, and it did, but do u have any idea why when i choose the ubuntu install from grub it says cannot mount partition?
[06:36] <VladimirBG> 13 more days
[06:36] <zero> Daverocks, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14222/ ok now it just worked
[06:36] <VladimirBG> :)
[06:36] <eldude> can i do an inplace upgrade, or will i have to burn fiesty to CD
[06:36] <neil__> hey
[06:37] <neil__> how can I burn .vobs in ubuntu to a dvd video?

[06:39] <zero> Daverocks, i wanna check it
[06:39] <Daverocks> zero: sudo iwlist eth1 scan

[06:40] <Daverocks> zero: sudo iwconfig eth1 essid TURBONETT
[06:41] <gavinjb> just found this on mysql website http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?11,34014,46593#msg-46593
[06:41] <vox754> !wifi > zero
[06:41] <berent> what will i use Daverocks fsck -a ?
[06:41] <Smerity> hey there - anyone know the easiest way to extract a file from a multi-volume RAR archive? Gnome's default Archive Manager doesn't handle it
[06:41] <gavinjb> NBX, give it a try
[06:41] <vox754> !rr
[06:41] <vox754> !rar
[06:41] <zero> vox754, what do you mean?
[06:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rr - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:41] <ubotu> rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[06:41] <Firefoxman> Umm... For some reason, after I started ubuntu, I had a blank windows open called gnome-panel, and it looks like http://img384.imageshack.us/img384/2374/screenshotii7.png
[06:41] <NBX> gavinjb, ok, thanks
[06:41] <Smerity> thx vox754
[06:41] <chell> quick question: Is the default installation of Ubuntu (from the LiveCD) 100% free (as defined by RMS/the Free Software Foundation)
[06:42] <zero> Daverocks, is unassociated yet
[06:42] <vox754> zero, you don't have to ask the same question over and over again, all those commands are documented. Also try "man iwconfig", "man ifconfig", "man interfaces", it is explained there.
[06:42] <greig_> billy : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14224/
[06:42] <greig_> billy : there u go
[06:42] <Firefoxman> chell: Yes. It is GPLed.
[06:42] <Firefoxman> !gpl | chell
[06:42] <ubotu> chell: gpl is the GNU General Public License. See http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html
[06:43] <Daverocks> berent: not sure, i don't use fsck manually, you can just specify _one_ mount point or device for fsck to check instead of -A
[06:43] <vox754> chell, YES. That is the reason why some !codecs don't work.
[06:43] <zero> vox754, ok sorry...
[06:43] <chell> okay
[06:43] <Daverocks> zero: do you see the new essid in "sudo iwconfig eth1"?
[06:43] <billy> greig_: is Ubuntu on hda4?
[06:43] <zero> Daverocks, yep
[06:43] <Smerity> totally got it, thx for answering the silly q vox754 =] 
[06:43] <Firefoxman> vox754: Also, some codecs need to be paid for, such as the DVD codec, and some cannot be exported outside the US.
[06:43] <vox754> Smerity, okay
[06:43] <crdlb> chell, well not 100% but close
[06:43] <greig_> billy : im not entirly sure, im new to linux
[06:44] <Raeth> In my Services config, hdparm is unchecked. Should it be on?
[06:44] <Firefoxman> For some reason, after I started ubuntu, I had a blank windows open called gnome-panel, and it looks like http://img384.imageshack.us/img384/2374/screenshotii7.png
[06:44] <chell> okay
[06:44] <crdlb> chell, for example feisty includes the closed ath_hal module
[06:44] <chell> I read somewhere that RMS doesn't use it because of that
[06:44] <rhys> since multimedia keys dont seem to repeat, im guessing that the command to change volume or what not is looped until ubuntu receives the key release. how does it do this?
[06:44] <billy> greig_: sudo fdisk -l should tell you.
[06:44] <greig_> billy : ok thanks 2 ticks

[06:45] <Dante123> hi all......I installed a .deb package for the Firstclass Client (internal email type program popular among school boards etc.)......I already had the earlier 8.09 version working...but the new 8.3 adds some new features....anyway......it worked ONCE.....but the second time I went to use it.....it hangs on the opening logo screen.......nothing about problems with this on ubuntu forums or when I google....any suggestions? Weird part
[06:46] <rambo3> crdlb, does it ? or does it include link for download of those modules
[06:46] <Dante123> worked that one time....but not after that
[06:46] <Daverocks> zero: do you see the mac address of the AP in "sudo iwlist eth1 scan"?
[06:46] <crdlb> rambo3, the feisty livecd works with my atheros card out of the box
[06:46] <billy> greig_: yeah, the menu.lst is a little misconfigured.
[06:46] <ctothej> how can I start my ssh server?
[06:46] <crdlb> rambo3, and the ath_hal modules is not OSS
[06:46] <Daverocks> Firefoxman: do you still see that when you're not using beryl?
[06:46] <greig_> billy : arghhhh, is there any chance u could reconfigure it?
[06:47] <greig_> billy : or is there a program or something i could use?
[06:47] <zero> Daverocks, yes
[06:47] <xircx> how do i uninstall a older version of java
[06:47] <zero> Daverocks, i see it there
[06:47] <Firefoxman> Daverocks: How do I unload it?
[06:47] <ace> Hi all
[06:47] <Daverocks> ctothej: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start
[06:47] <rambo3> crdlb, the you are correct
[06:47] <Daverocks> Firefoxman: you should be able to select a different window manager in beryl-manager
[06:48] <billy> greig_: I'll give it a shot.  I would say go ahead and make a backup of your menu.lst, but there's really no point if it doesn't work, eh?
[06:48] <ace> where can i get synaptic's or apt's log of all the files installed and removed
[06:48] <ctothej> Daverocks: thanks. what about checking my ip address via command?
[06:48] <ace> or the most recent ones anyway
[06:48] <Daverocks> zero: ok, do "sudo iwconfig eth1 ap TheMACAddress"
[06:48] <Firefoxman> Daverocks: Yep, it goes away when I disable beryl
[06:48] <zero> Daverocks, ok
[06:48] <chili5555> Dante123: if you start it in a terminal does it spit out any errors?
[06:48] <refnumzx> my kernel is very mseed up, and my / parttion is full, i have no backup kernel to boot from is it possible to instal a kernel on the system from a live cd?
[06:48] <jatt> xircx: you uninstall an older version of java uninstalling the package where the older version of java came from.
[06:48] <Daverocks> ctothej: your internal IP, do ifconfig
[06:48] <billy> greig:  you've got two Linux partitions.  which one is Edgy on?  the first or the second. Do you recall?
[06:48] <greig_> billy : yea go for it please, i'll make a copy, as u said its buggared anyways
[06:49] <Daverocks> Firefoxman: beryl is a bit buggy with things that should be hidden and such
[06:49] <Firefoxman> Daverocks: So, should I just live with it or w/o beryl?
[06:49] <gop> billy:  hi
[06:49] <ctothej> Daverocks: awesome thank you
[06:49] <greig_> billy : 2 secs i'll try check
[06:49] <billy> hey gop.

[06:49] <Dante123> chili5555....I'll try that...hang on
[06:49] <gop> burned and rebooted
[06:49] <Daverocks> ctothej: yeah, there may be multiple interfaces there, make sure you're looking at the right one
[06:49] <gop> where is the autofix option
[06:49] <billy> gop:  pimpin.  did it work?  tried it out?
[06:49] <gop> nope
[06:50] <greig_> billy : its deffo not on hda3, so it must be hda2?
[06:50] <Daverocks> Firefoxman: heh, whatever's easier for you :P there may be a way to fix it though
[06:50] <gop> but maybe becuase I used wrong option
[06:50] <zero> Daverocks, ok, keeps unassociated
[06:50] <billy> gop: oh.  um.  I'd have to look through it myself.  I usually just explore around.  maybe "fix mbr" option.
[06:50] <HyDraGeN> hey whats the best program to video record my desktop? like i want to make a video tutorial, some people told me XvidCap but i didn't like it
[06:50] <hamiii> Has anyone seen a cursor that is half a square with a + in it and do they know how to get back to the regular cursor. Clicking does nothing now?
[06:50] <ctothej> Daverocks: It fails.
[06:50] <Daverocks> HyDraGeN: xvidcap is probably the best you'd be able to get for linux :P
[06:50] <HyDraGeN> ohhh there is a one istanbul?
[06:50] <Daverocks> ctothej: what fails? the ifconfig command?
[06:51] <HyDraGeN> thats its name?
[06:51] <Firefoxman> Daverocks: It seems to be fixed after reloading beryl, but, also, how to I make a window go UNDER the panel?
[06:51] <ctothej> Daverocks: says [fail]  next to the message Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server...
[06:51] <Daverocks> Firefoxman: don't know, i never used beryl with gnome :P
[06:51] <theacolyte> Firefoxman: go to #ubuntu-effects for those kinds of questions please

[06:53] <ScreaminIke> can a default lamp stack handle asp.net? or is there something i'll need to use the .net framework?
[06:53] <Daverocks> zero: are you close enough?
[06:53] <bruenig> dapper is 6.06, edgy is 6.10
[06:53] <ctothej> Daverocks: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14227/
[06:53] <Daverocks> zero: like, what is the signal quality in the scan?

[06:54] <Daverocks> ctothej: yeah, you've already got a ssh server running
[06:54] <ctothej> it runs automatically?
[06:54] <Daverocks> zero: heh, that's not too good, usually you need at least 50/100
[06:55] <Daverocks> ctothej: usually yes, try ssh 127.0.0.1
[06:55] <billy> greig_: ok try it out.  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14228/

[06:55] <w4nabe> bruenig: i meant 6.06
[06:55] <zero> Daverocks, ohhh..
[06:55] <zero> Daverocks, so it might be the problem
[06:55] <NevroPus> what plugin do I need to let GParted format a disk to NTFS?
[06:55] <ctothej> Daverocks: yep, i connect. thank you very much.
[06:55] <Dante123> how do i run something in terminal.....when typing the name of the file won't execute it.....but clicking on it starts the program gui?
[06:55] <Puppy1> can anyone help me get mplayer to work in Firefox?
[06:56] <Daverocks> ctothej: np
[06:56] <Daverocks> Dante123: sure you're typing the right name?
[06:56] <zero> Daverocks, the issue is that im connected to my ethernet card, and can't get closer to the ap to try
[06:56] <Daverocks> zero: hm.
[06:56] <Daverocks> zero: you might be interested in kismet
[06:56] <Dante123> yes.....exactly as it appears in the window
[06:56] <billy> !grub
[06:56] <zero> Daverock, what's that?
[06:56] <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
[06:56] <Daverocks> Dante123: which app?
[06:57] <Daverocks> zero: it's a wireless sniffer and monitorer
[06:57] <Dante123> firstclass client 8.3 for linux.....debian package installed it
[06:57] <bruenig> Puppy1, have you done "sudo apt-get remove totem-mozilla"
[06:57] <Daverocks> zero: sudo apt-get install kismet
[06:57] <gop> hmm
[06:57] <NevroPus> what plugin do I need to let GParted format a disk to NTFS?
[06:58] <bruenig> NevroPus, none
[06:58] <Daverocks> NevroPus: ntfsprogs?
[06:58] <zero> Daverocks, ok
[06:58] <Daverocks> NevroPus: yeah, newer GParted versions should do it
[06:58] <DB42> hi, why dont i have the latest linux-headers for my curernt kernel version on 6.10 (2.6.18.3) ?
[06:58] <greig_> billy : i cant replace the file as it says i dont have permision?
[06:58] <Puppy1> brueng, not yet. I found this guide: http://www.linux-sxs.org/multimedia/mplayermozplug.html but I don't understand it.
[06:58] <berent> I have an extended partition where I intend to install applications some applications without touching my root dir
[06:58] <bruenig> DB42, because that kernel is not an ubuntu kernel
[06:58] <berent> how will i do it
[06:58] <bruenig> Puppy1, you haven't done anything have you
[06:58] <Daverocks> zero: it's a console curses app, but it's still got a nice interface. you'll need to add information to /etc/kismet.conf to tell it about your ipw2200 card
[06:59] <bruenig> Puppy1, you can enable it very easily from the repositories
[06:59] <DB42> bruenig: so why did ubuntu install it for me ?
[06:59] <billy> greig_: open it as superuser.  `gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst`
[06:59] <CapaH> Hey, is anyone here familiar with EncFS ?
[06:59] <zero> Daverocks, and how i do that?
[06:59] <gop> billy:  all i was able to do is get it to boot in to my windows partion
[06:59] <zero> Daverocks, sorry im totaly new on linux ...
[06:59] <berent> I have an extended partition where I intend to install applications some applications without touching my root dir how will i do it?
[06:59] <Dante123> do i have to do something so that the program can be run from terminal?
[06:59] <billy> gop: you didn't see "fix MBR" option?
[06:59] <Daverocks> zero: no problem, i had issues with it the first time as well
[06:59] <DB42> strange... how did i get 2.6.18.3 on my system :|
[06:59] <Dante123> trying to see if there are error messages when you start it from terminal
[06:59] <Daverocks> zero: did you do the install?
[06:59] <bruenig> DB42, I don't believe there is a 2.6.18.3 kernel, seeing as I am using edgy and have the most up to date kernel they offer and I know that feisty is going with 2.6.20
[06:59] <Dante123> but it won't start
[07:00] <bruenig> DB42, do you have some third party repositories
[07:00] <Puppy1> bruenig, I have gone into synaptic and downloaded the plugin. but I don't know how to install it.
[07:00] <DB42> dont belive so
[07:00] <hamiii> I have this strang cursor (half square with + in it) I can't get the machine to do anything but switch between sessions ie ctl-alt-f1 any suggestions?
[07:00] <zero> Daverocks, it's downloading the package
[07:00] <DB42> hmm... /me thinks i might have compiled it long time ago
[07:00] <Daverocks> zero: kk, wait until it's installed
[07:00] <berent> I have an extended partition where I intend to install applications some applications without touching my root dir how will i do it?
[07:00] <DB42> ahh, yes... :|
[07:00] <bruenig> Puppy1, what did you install
[07:00] <gop> billy:  nope
[07:01] <Puppy1> bruenig, let me check
[07:01] <zero> Daverocks, ok
[07:01] <billy> gop: i'll fire it up on my laptop.  just a sec.
[07:01] <Daverocks> berent: install applications that are expecting a typical linux filesystem structure?
[07:01] <gop> thanks
[07:01] <Daverocks> berent: i mean, _are_ you installing those types of apps?
[07:01] <DB42> when i try to compile VMWARE TOOLS it tells me my kernel include dir doesn't match my kernel version, but it's all from the same place, how can that be ?
[07:01] <berent> Daverocks : like crystalreports
[07:01] <Puppy1> bruening, MPlayer-Plugin for Mozilla
[07:01] <berent> Daverocks : may be wine related also, then?
[07:01] <bruenig> Puppy1, the name of it, is it mozilla-mplayer?
[07:01] <ctothej> Why can I not run su from bash but I can run sudo?
[07:02] <NevroPus> is there any programs for ubuntu that can recover files from a harddrive?
[07:02] <bruenig> !sudo | ctothej
[07:02] <ubotu> ctothej: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[07:02] <greig_> billy ok that worked , i'll restart and see how it goes, thanks m8
[07:02] <Puppy1> bruenig, yes
[07:02] <Daverocks> berent: not sure
[07:02] <Daverocks> ctothej: the root account is locked by default on ubuntu, meaning you can't login as root
[07:02] <bruenig> Puppy1, ok, open a terminal and do "sudo apt-get remove totem-mozilla" and it should be good to go
[07:02] <orangefly> why can i get to my server with the IP but not the server name....i have another server and it works fine with the same settings....(different ip's ofcourse....
[07:02] <zero> Daverocks, done
[07:02] <NevroPus> is there any programs for ubuntu that can recover files from a harddrive?
[07:03] <Jaikkanen> i have recieved an error prompt after trying to open qtparted
[07:03] <Jaikkanen> im unsure of the problem
[07:03] <ctothej> Daverocks: oh interesting. as long as I can run commands as root using sudo i should be fine then
[07:03] <billy> greig_: i'll be here.
[07:03] <gop> orangefly:  what your server do
[07:03] <Daverocks> ctothej: sudo is used to give certain users root privs, but having the root account locked allegedly provides extra security
[07:03] <Firefoxman> WILL I need anti-virus software, firewalls, and anti-spy apps for windows when I run it in Qemu?
[07:03] <bruenig> Jaikkanen, are on on gnome or kde?
[07:03] <w4nabe> hi, every time i start up dapper, the system hangs, and then gives me an emergency shell. can anybody help? here's the error http://pastebin.ca/427111

[07:03] <Dante123> okay...now the program is running.....but the logo screen stays on top...and doens't close after starting....weird!
[07:03] <DB42> nm, thanks for the help, fixed :)
[07:03] <Jaikkanen> bruenig: gnome.. i think
[07:03] <billy> gop: it's under the "GNU/Linux (Advanced)" option.
[07:04] <ctothej> Daverocks: ah nice. just what i was looking for.
[07:04] <bruenig> Jaikkanen, us gparted then, not qtparted
[07:04] <Daverocks> Firefoxman: yes, if you don't want that emulated windows system to get infected
[07:04] <bruenig> Jaikkanen, sudo apt-get install gparted

[07:05] <Epic720> can someone help me, I am trying to get libfaac0 installed.
[07:05] <Jaikkanen> bruenig: i think i may have caused some damage.. as.. i used qtparted moments before, to reformat a partition.. it appeared to freeze up.. so i closed the software..i then opened it up.. and instead of reformating.. i just deleted.. to make it undesignated space.. that action succeeding.. after which.. i am then unable to make anymore actions upon the HDD
[07:05] <zero> it's blank
[07:06] <Daverocks> zero: alright, maybe the location is different on ubuntu
[07:06] <zero> Daverocks: it is blank
[07:06] <eldude> can i upgrade from Edgy to Fiesty without having to burn / boot the 7.0.4 CD? can i do an inplace install right from within Edgy to fiesty ?

[07:09] <achilles> how to play VCD.dat file on ubuntu
[07:09] <Daverocks> zero: also, is there a line somewhere above that saying "suiduser"?

[07:10] <shwag> anyone know a legitimate website that works in firefox/linux where I can download mp3s ?
[07:10] <felipe_gabriel> hello everybody! anyone knows how can I kill my x session to install the nvidia driver?
[07:10] <felipe_gabriel> Im not being able to install cause x is running
[07:10] <greig__> billy : yea.
[07:10] <billy> greig__: where it says "root" for each line, that's where /root is.  since it's the second partition on the first hard disk, it's (hd0,1).  number starts from 0, so the second is 1.
[07:10] <neil__> shwag: www.allofmp3.com works, legality is currently under debate

[07:10] <theacolyte> i.e. allofmp3.com is illegal in the US
[07:11] <achilles> me to run .dat video files on ubuntu
[07:11] <billy> greig__: in the "kernel" line, there's another "root" line, which locates it a bit differently, by /dev/sda? location.  since it's the second, it's /dev/sda2.  that's all I changed.
[07:11] <cables> !paste > Jaikkanen
[07:11] <neil__> theacolyte: It is?
[07:11] <neil__> Fair enough
[07:11] <Daverocks> felipe_gabriel: switch to tty1 with ctrl-alt-F1, then do "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop". you can start it again later with "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start", assuming everything goes well :P

[07:12] <greig__> billy : well thanks, i didnt even know where to start, its much appreciated mate!!
[07:12] <billy> greig__: so it's just a matter of knowing what to look for.  now ~you~ know.

[07:34] <sidny4> DB42: did you install vmware-tools?
[07:34] <bur[n] er> DB42: you could also try editing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the guest
[07:34] <DB42> yes, i've installed it
[07:34] <cypher1> iratik, i think lftp can do a lot of things in command line..
[07:34] <iratik> lftp ?
[07:34] <DB42> and i've tried editing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf ...
[07:34] <bur[n] er> DB42: not only do you have to install it, it has to be running
[07:34] <cypher1> iratik, yes
[07:35] <iratik> no manual entry for lftp
[07:35] <DB42> how do i know if it's running or not ?
[07:35] <sidny4> DB42: is vmware-tools running?

[07:36] <DB42> and i have vmware-user and vmware-guestd running
[07:36] <bur[n] er> DB42: you obviously didn't ;)
[07:36] <DB42> so how are those running ?
[07:36] <cypher1> zero, please ask
[07:37] <zero> how can i run a c++ code
[07:37] <bur[n] er> DB42: vmware-tools has to be running in ubuntu... not your host os
[07:37] <zero> i mean
[07:37] <DB42> i know that.. but i dont seem to have that file....
[07:37] <bur[n] er> zero: you compile it before you run it
[07:37] <zero> ubunt has a compiler for c++ right?
[07:37] <foutrelis> zero: sudo aptitude install build-essential :)
[07:37] <cypher1> zero, yes but you have to install build-essential
[07:37] <bur[n] er> DB42: so install it ;)  you have to get the vmware-tools tarball and compile it
[07:37] <xtknight> zero, sudo..........blah they got it :DP
[07:37] <zYe> i can not get my monitor to run my preferred resolution, please help
[07:37] <zero> lol ok
[07:37] <zero> i'll try now
[07:37] <xtknight> apt-get usually not aptitude ;P
[07:38] <xtknight> not that i know why but that's what people say
[07:38] <zero> wow this is amazing...
[07:38] <bur[n] er> zYe: video card, preferred res?
[07:38] <jburd> I see a lot of people using aptitude.   What's the difference between aptitude and apt-get?
[07:38] <sidny4> zYe: what kind of video card do you have?
[07:38] <DB42> i have the vmwaretools tar bvall
[07:38] <DB42> i've compiled and installed it :(
[07:38] <DB42> damn this crap
[07:38] <xtknight> aptitude has more features but i think apt-get is usually more stable/supported specifically for ubuntu or something
[07:38] <DB42> why doesn't it just work
[07:38] <zero> ok
[07:38] <zero> so
[07:38] <DB42> are you sure the process name is vmware-tools and not vmware-user ?

[07:39] <bur[n] er> zYe: maybe your new monitor is just not capable?

[07:55] <predaeus> tmroland, read this not sure if this is the only solution though http://linuxreviews.org/howtos/cdrecording/#toc16
[07:56] <sue_> okay im back thanks for thehelp so far but i still cant get into my scond drive, i can see it enable it but cant see whats in it when i try it just says:You do not have enough permissions to read file:///media/server

[07:56] <sue_> have installed ntfs -3g though

[07:58] <billy> sue_:  it's saying you don't have read/write permissions?    read the chmod manual.  in a terminal, `man chmod`.  using the chmod command will allow you to change the permissions so that you can access and write to it.
[07:58] <iratik> it worked gr4eat!!!!
[07:58] <insane_alien> okay, dd is doing its thing
[07:58] <Beyond_The_Grave> I know it requires it according to the wifidocs
[07:58] <bravo_> dont work .. monitor mode.. master.. ad-hoc..
[07:58] <iratik> cypher1: thanks

[08:04] <abrahao> is gnome installed as dafault in ubuntu?
[08:04] <billy> olroy: when you first boot into the livecd, you can select the vga mode.  there are options at the bottom of the screen. try picking a resolution that you'r pretty sure will work.
[08:04] <nova1313> abrahao: yes
[08:04] <chili5555> abrahao: yup

[08:06] <Matic`Makovec> S...I have Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60) in my computer. I'm woundering which option to boost to max so my microphone volume would be higher since some people are saying I'm quite low on volume for them
[08:06] <xircx> can i load windows xp desktop while in ubuntu using wine?
[08:06] <Firefoxman> !fr | kick_
[08:06] <ubotu> kick_: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[08:07] <billy> olroy:  1280x1024 should work until we can properly configure your stuff.  but, is it really worth it unless you're going to install?
[08:08] <dyrne> xircx: you can view your desktop files in nautilus but that isnt anything to do with wine
[08:08] <olroy> I'd love to install (dual boot). but when the cd boots & I choose the option to install or run from cd, after the brown screen loads up & sound chimes, that's when it locks up
[08:08] <xircx> how bout a virtual windows
[08:08] <nova1313> xircxP not so much... you can't load windows perse...
[08:09] <nova1313> xircx: they have apps to do that you need a pc emulator really if you want to run windows in linux
[08:09] <dyrne> olroy: ive never bothered with the livecd i usually just burn the alternate installcd. its text based so less problems
[08:09] <nova1313> xircx: virtual pc does it well but it's not free
[08:09] <chili5555> Matic`Makovec: in a terminal type alsamixer, scroll over to mic and mic boost, arrow them on up
[08:09] <xircx> hmm
[08:09] <billy> olroy:  if you want to install, just use the alternate CD.
[08:09] <billy> !alternate
[08:09] <ubotu> The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[08:10] <olroy> may have found something on forums.  delete "quiet-splash" and add "break=bottom"
[08:10] <dyrne> olroy: yeah you can experiment it just depends on how much time you want to put into  loading the cd just to install
[08:12] <zulfajuniadi> hi, i messed up my sudo settings. now i can't use sudo anymore. Is there a way to get around this? (I can't even sudo visudo)

[08:14] <Flannel> zulfajuniadi: you won't need sudo by that point, but yeah, you'll edit the file and fix it.  Might be good to figure out exactly what's going wrong first
[08:16] <zulfajuniadi> Flannel, is there a way to do it without the recovery console? maybe log in as root?

[08:17] <xircx> eny one ever used win4lin?
[08:18] <Flannel> zulfajuniadi: no.   It's not, because there's no reason to use a root account on ubuntu.  And in that case, no.  There's no way to get to a root shell without rebooting into recovery console.

[08:42] <billy> gop: grub is your boot loader.  it needs to be on the first hard drive (yes, hd0) because that's probably what your BIOS is looking at.
[08:42] <bruenig> hd0 is master boot record, it is not hard drive
[08:42] <gop> yea grub shell enviorment is loading but that all
[08:42] <bruenig> hd0,0 would be first hard drive

[08:46] <comlag> its says it cant find window manager
[08:46] <Ali_ix> Firefoxman: check this: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/442
[08:46] <coolness9> Whats this difference between a force remove and a directory remove?
[08:46] <BrianBoyko> Avidal, do you have any USB drives attached at bootup?
[08:46] <bruenig> !enter | comlag
[08:46] <ubotu> comlag: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[08:46] <comlag> k
[08:46] <avidal> BrianBoyko: I have my bluetooth dongle for my mouse
[08:47] <bruenig> coolness9, force remove doesn't prompt you, directory remove removes a directory, rm -f is a force removal rm -r is a directory removal, or you combine them rm -rf to do a force directory removal
[08:47] <BrianBoyko> Try disconnecting the bluetooth dongle and give 'er a boot.  I don't think it should be a problem but I do know I had problems when I connected USB drives.
[08:47] <comlag> my root is broken. it says it cant find windows manager. how do i fix this?
[08:47] <Rei-chan> Now the funny question. Is Feisty stable enough for use yet?
[08:47] <avidal> BrianBoyko: Hrm, were your problems similar to mine?
[08:47] <coolness9> thank you
[08:47] <billy> greig__: well you could try both and see which works, i guess.  change the Widows XP title root line to (hd0,3).  that'll make it look at hda4.  to change it to look at five, change it to (hd0.4).  Understand what I'm saying?
[08:47] <ravi_master> PCMCIA WPC54GS v1.1 card plz help.
[08:47] <BrianBoyko> Yes - very.
[08:47] <bruenig> comlag, I don't think your description of the problem is quite accurate, what do you mean your "root" is broken
[08:47] <coolness9> im going to try now thanks
[08:48] <comlag> my root account
[08:48] <avidal> BrianBoyko: I also contemplated trying to install Ubuntu server and then doing an apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[08:48] <bruenig> !feisty | Rei-chan
[08:48] <ubotu> Rei-chan: The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn") should be released in April 2007.

[08:48] <Ali_ix> comlag: root in and windows manager? are you trying to login as root?
[08:48] <kanzie> Im having port-problems with KTorrent, anyone that can help me?
[08:48] <comlag> yeah
[08:48] <bruenig> comlag, have you set up the root account?
[08:48] <Ali_ix> comlag: dont do that!!!!
[08:48] <BrianBoyko> That might work, but I'd try disconnecting the bluetooth device first.
[08:48] <ravi_master> comlag: answer the question concisely by typing the person you are answering and then giving your response
[08:48] <gizmo_the_great1> When I try to play Americas Army I appear to have no sound. I do however have sound with everything else on my Ubuntu system. Any ideas?
[08:49] <avidal> BrianBoyko: Hrm, I suppose I can give it a try.  Gotta find a non-bluetooth mouse around here though.
[08:49] <comlag> bruenig yes
[08:49] <bruenig> comlag, can you login as a regular user?
[08:49] <avidal> BrianBoyko: Although I suppose the ubuntu desktop installer can be accessed via keyboard only
[08:49] <Ali_ix> comlag: forgetabout root account! do every thing with sudo and gksudo unless you know what are you doind
[08:49] <deepfreez> i have a question regarding Linux and i dont know if i'm in the right place and if you can give me some assistance on it
[08:49] <scheuri> hello all...
[08:49] <deepfreez> what you be able to tell me what the difference would be between these two commands, $cat xyz[12]  and $cat xyz[1-12] 
[08:49] <BrianBoyko> Comlag: You don't need to login as root.  Log in under your normal user account.  When you need to use something with root access, use the "sudo" command in front of the command you normally run.  It will then prompt you for your root password.
[08:49] <comlag> iapparently its still looking for enlightenment even thou i uninstalled it days ago
[08:49] <avidal> BrianBoyko: Thanks, I'll give it a shot now.  I'll be back in 5 minutes if I can't get in :P
[08:49] <aricz> What is this religious thingie about SUDO around here?
[08:49] <pavo6503> hello, I have a question about upgrading from 6.06LTS to 6.1 Easy Eft
[08:49] <aricz> is it THAT bad to open the root-account?
[08:49] <billy> aricz: you don't questio the great SUDO.
[08:49] <comlag> deepfreez i dont wanna keep my root account broken
[08:50] <aricz> right.. ;p
[08:50] <Ali_ix> deepfreez: google the bracketing bash
[08:50] <Rei-chan> aricz: Which would you rather do? Screw up one command, or screw 10 up and reformat your drive?
[08:50] <ravi_master> aricz: not really, just don't allow remote logins with root
[08:50] <scheuri> I added my main user (which is sudoer) to a new group...after logout/login sudo says the main user is not sudoer anymore and this user is only in two groups left...may someone be so kind to help me restore the "normal" situation
[08:50] <comlag> brianboyko i know that but i dont like things to be broken
[08:50] <Tagadatsoin> hello, i'm trying to configure a secure chrooted CVS server on an Ubuntu v6.06_LTS, I got some trouble with the sudo command. I've followed this tutorial : http://www.ffnn.nl/pages/articles/linux/setting-up-a-chroot-jail-for-cvs.php
[08:50] <BrianBoyko> Let me put it to you this way.  Sudo is like opening a door and shutting it once you get inside. Root login is like opening all the doors and windows and leaving them open.
[08:50] <bruenig> deepfreez, I assume that is regex, so the first one would be xyz1 and xyz2 where as the second one would be xyz1 xyz2 ... xyz12
[08:50] <bruenig> or maybe just twelve
[08:50] <bruenig> the first one might just be 12
[08:51] <greig__> billy : what was the command to show me my partitions again?
[08:51] <Tagadatsoin> my problem is the following users from the group I created ar'ent allowaed to execute /usr/sbin/chroot
[08:51] <comlag> i am just trying to fix this cuz its still looking for enlightenment
[08:51] <BrianBoyko> Comlag: Root "isn't broken," at least as far as I can discern from you describing it to me.
[08:51] <Ali_ix> bruenig: yes, it is some regex like wilcard selecting
[08:51] <kanzie> KTorrent says that the port is blacklisted
[08:51] <BrianBoyko> Have you tried doing what you need to do using Sudo?
[08:51] <kanzie> and the download is dead
[08:51] <ravi_master> PCMCIA WPC54GS v1.1 card, need all deb packages and guide to the install.
[08:51] <Ali_ix> kanzie: do you have firestarter?
[08:51] <bruenig> Ali_ix, interesting though because I know [ab]  would be a or b, but would [12]  be 1 or 2, or just twelve, and if the first then, how would you do 12, commas perhaps?
[08:51] <pavo6503> if I begin installation of ubuntu 6.1 over ubuntu 6.06, will I lose all my data?
[08:51] <Tagadatsoin> does anyone know how to solve my problem (or how to create a chrooted environnement on ubuntu) ? thx
[08:52] <bruenig> !chroot | Tagadatsoin
[08:52] <ubotu> Tagadatsoin: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box
[08:52] <Tagadatsoin> bruenig, that's not really it
[08:52] <deepfreez> bruenig 10x
[08:52] <Ali_ix> bruenig: i thing [a|b]  may be a or b! not [ab] 
[08:52] <Tagadatsoin> i've been looking for a solutoin on some ubuntu forums, but they wherent good for me
[08:53] <bruenig> Ali_ix, pretty sure [ab]  does it
[08:53] <kanzie> Ali_ix: No...what is that?
[08:53] <Ali_ix> bruenig: well, so what about grouping like [a-zA-Z] ?
[08:53] <comlag> brianboyko i need to rephrase my question lol.....i want to logon to root with gdm just to know that i can. i'ts stil looking for enlightenment when i uninstalled it days ago and should have expected it to go back to normal gnome...
[08:53] <Tagadatsoin> i don't wanna use xinetd or things like that, just to do a chroot jail, for some user, using only UNIX properties, but I go some troubles with the way ubuntu manages sudo and su
[08:54] <comlag> im not gonna do anything crazy in root just tryin to fix login with gnome
[08:54] <pavo6503> if I begin installation of ubuntu 6.1 over ubuntu 6.06, will I lose all my data?
[08:54] <bruenig> Ali_ix, I don't know, I haven't really used regex much, when I do, I usually just look at reference material, here is what wikipedia is saying though, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regexp#Traditional_Unix_regular_expressions
[08:54] <coolness9> hey all, quick question. What's the difference between adding programs using the Applications > Add / Remove programs, and using the Synoptic Package Manager?
[08:54] <bruenig> coolness9, none
[08:54] <Ali_ix> bruenig: thnx for the info and link )
[08:55] <billy> coolness9: all the cool kids use synaptic.
[08:55] <comlag> now wat do i edit so the session doesnt look for enlightenment and just runs normal gnome????
[08:55] <coolness9> I want to be a cool kid
[08:55] <pavo6503> if I begin installation of ubuntu 6.1 over ubuntu 6.06, will I lose all my data?
[08:55] <coolness9> Can i find the same 20,000 whatevers using the application > add progams way?
[08:55] <Ali_ix> bruenig: there is also some thing called bracketing in bashh, and may be some different effects than regex patterns
[08:55] <Cave`> A better program than gedit to write documents in latex? any1
[08:56] <comlag> hmmm
[08:56] <gizmo_the_great1> When I try to play the game 'Americas Army' I appear to have no sound. I do however have sound with everything else on my Ubuntu system. Any ideas?
[08:56] <comlag> everyone just misunderstood my question ...i suck at phrasing them..
[08:56] <bruenig> coolness9, if you want to be really cool use "sudo apt-get install program" from the command line and "apt-cache search program" or "apt-cache show program" to search
[08:56] <kanzie> Ali_ix, nope, not running firestarter
[08:56] <bruenig> coolness9, and no to your other question
[08:56] <hitesh> hi junta
[08:57] <sodoku> oh man, meine root partition ist schrott, kann mir da mal jemand helfen ?
[08:57] <coolness9> okay so they aren't the same then heeh
[08:57] <hitesh> what sort of discussion is goin on?
[08:57] <comlag> idk
[08:57] <bruenig> coolness9, you said what was the difference between installing from them, there is no difference between how they install stuff
[08:57] <hitesh> idk?
[08:57] <rickyfingers_> soduku, we can, but try to use english.
[08:57] <Ali_ix> kanzie: are you behind a firewall or router?
[08:57] <sodoku> sorry
[08:57] <sodoku> forgot
[08:57] <coolness9> So Synoptic is a package manager, then what is the Apt-Get? is it the same thing or a terminal based package manager?
[08:57] <hitesh> its okk
[08:57] <coolness9> ah okay
[08:57] <comlag> but a minut ago people were telling me to not login as root ..
[08:57] <polorix> how, do i change a folder and it's contents from being owned by root to my user?
[08:57] <hitesh> yes u r right
[08:57] <bruenig> coolness9, yeah pretty much, synaptic is a graphical front end for apt-get
[08:58] <bruenig> coolness9, don't run them at the same time though
[08:58] <rickyfingers_> polorix: chmod
[08:58] <coolness9> ah okay
[08:58] <Ali_ix> kanzie: unless you have a firewall or custom iptables rules you shouldnt get that! you may try port forwwarding as an alternate, google it
[08:58] <coolness9> WHat about something I saw called RPG?
[08:58] <billy> polorix:  chmod or chown will do the trick.
[08:58] <rickyfingers_> polorix: i meant chown
[08:58] <coolness9> is that different from Synaptic?
[08:58] <bruenig> coolness9, rpm maybe?
[08:58] <hitesh> use chmod -d -r username location_of_file
[08:58] <Camaxtli> polorix: sudo chown path/to/folder yourusername
[08:58] <coolness9> yes oops sorry ;(
[08:58] <billy> coolness9: rpg is for redhat.
[08:58] <hitesh> sorry chown
[08:58] <sodoku> i'm having problems with my root partition, can anybody help me ?
[08:59] <bruenig> coolness9, rpm is red hat package manager, it is not used in ubuntu and other debian distros, it is used in distros like fedora or suse
[08:59] <hitesh> what problem?
[08:59] <sodoku> it is not recognized anymore, after a hardware crash
[08:59] <coolness9> okay thank brue, you guys hae been super helpful
[08:59] <sodoku> i tried fsck
[08:59] <rickyfingers_> polorix: i guess the real question is: is there a way to do chown without having to use the command prompt.
[08:59] <bruenig> coolness9, it has to do with a different way the program is packaged, ubuntu uses debs and fedora and suse and some of the others use rpms
[08:59] <sodoku> but it takes forever
[08:59] <hitesh> has anybody here compiled a latests kernel?
[08:59] <hitesh> 2.6.21.4
[08:59] <hitesh> ?
[08:59] <rickyfingers_> polorix: i don't know the answer to that question
[08:59] <hitesh> have a problem
[08:59] <sodoku> its mountable now, but there are almost no data on
[08:59] <hitesh> with my edgy machine
[09:00] <hitesh> plzz help me
[09:00] <rickyfingers_> hitesh: I'm running 2.6.20 at home, are you having issues?
[09:00] <bruenig> rickyfingers, you could create a nautilus script to do it, kind of a waste of time but you could
[09:00] <billy> rickyfingers: sodoku: there's an easy way, but I don't recommend opening nautilus with "gksudo nautilus" and right-clicking properties.
[09:00] <william> Could not find sensor 'Bible'/usr/share/gdesklets/Displays/bible-desklet/votd.display
[09:00] <coolness9> thanks everyone!
[09:00] <hitesh> yes its giving an error
[09:00] <bruenig> bible desklet?
[09:00] <Camaxtli> polorix: Correction -> sudo chown -hR  username /u path/to/file
[09:00] <william> BRB
[09:00] <park13> Please help i am trying to use LVM with a new ubuntu install.  I am trying to get 3 hard drives to show as one?

[09:00] <park13> how do i do this?
[09:00] <william> Got a hair cut
[09:01] <rickyfingers_> hitesh: what's the error.  I'm not running that kernel version, but maybe I can offer some insight.
[09:01] <hitesh> /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
[09:01] <deftonesgirl> need videocard help
[09:01] <SlimeyPete> deftonesgirl: what card?
[09:01] <hitesh> when i restarted for using new kwernel

[09:01] <hitesh> its givin the errror
[09:01] <polorix> how do you rename a folder in terminal?
[09:01] <deftonesgirl> keep getting the mesa drivers
[09:01] <billy> polorix: use the mv command.  mv /folder1 /folder1_rename
[09:01] <hitesh> I have checked that my meny.lst
[09:02] <Ali_ix> deftonesgirl: what is problem?
[09:02] <hitesh> menu.lst
[09:02] <rickyfingers_> hitesh: at what stage of compiling are you at, configure, make or make install? my guess is that you're configuring, but I could be wrong-
[09:02] <hitesh> but didn't find any problem?
[09:02] <Ali_ix> deftonesgirl: tried fglrx drivers?
[09:02] <sodoku> nobody ?
[09:02] <deftonesgirl> well i keep trying to install the fglrx drivers and each time I check fglrxinfo is shows the mesa drivers instead of the ati driveres
[09:02] <deepfreez> i have a question i typed: apt-get update and give me this:
[09:02] <deepfreez> homelinux kernel: [42949729.340000]  EIP: [__find_get_block+72/416]  __find_get_block+0x48/0x1a0 SS:ESP 0068:f7fdbb34
[09:02] <hitesh> after creating .deb package i have installed the kernel.. but when I restated my machine for using it
[09:03] <hitesh> it is giving the aove error
[09:03] <hitesh> on statup
[09:03] <hitesh> starttup*
[09:03] <NevroPus> deftonesgirl, do you have the 2.6.17-10 posebility on startup? I had to use that instead of the 2.6.17-11
[09:03] <kick_> ubuntu fr ?
[09:03] <rickyfingers_> hitesh: did you do make-initramfs?
[09:03] <annihilus> how are icon theme packages installed
[09:03] <hitesh> no i didn't
[09:03] <deftonesgirl> i do "i think" , so boot into that and do what?
[09:03] <Ali_ix> deftonesgirl: did you changed xorg.conf too use fglrx instead of mesa/vesa?
[09:03] <kick_> url for fr N
[09:04] <kick_> ??
[09:04] <deftonesgirl> yes i did
[09:04] <rickyfingers_> hitesh: wait a minute that's not the command, the command is update-initramfs
[09:04] <billy> annihilus: open the icon selection window and then just drag and drop the new theme you want to install into the window!  it's that easy!
[09:04] <hitesh> when to exectute the command?.. means at what stage?
[09:04] <adam98971> i need some help i installed XP after i installed ubuntu and i cant get grub to install on the MBR
[09:04] <rickyfingers_> hitesh: you need to do that with sudo and I always do it in the /boot partition, where it should go
[09:04] <adam98971> how would i do this?
[09:04] <annihilus> billy, whres the icon selection window, thats the problem
[09:04] <annihilus> billy, i must be blind
[09:04] <Ali_ix> deftonesgirl: if you changed config, you should get fglrx in glxinfo as driver.. or you should get black screen if there is problem
[09:04] <billy> !grub | adam98971
[09:04] <rickyfingers_> hitesh: execute the command after everything with the kernel is done.
[09:05] <ubotu> adam98971: 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
[09:05] <Ali_ix> deftonesgirl: check your xorg.conf again or use dpkg-reconfigure tool
[09:05] <hitesh> means after installing the deb packages generated...
[09:05] <hitesh> right?
[09:05] <rickyfingers_> hitesh: i'm suggesting this because I have a similar problem after I recompile my kernel, but it's not the same error message
[09:05] <deftonesgirl> i have done both of those things, and selected fglrx each time
[09:05] <billy> annihilus: system > preferences > theme.  and then you can add special icons using the "customize theme" selection.
[09:05] <deftonesgirl> it keeps reverting to the mesa
[09:05] <chell> Hi
[09:05] <rickyfingers_> hitesh: usually I see something about vfs not syncing.
[09:05] <greig__> billy : could u have a look over my menu lst when u get a chance again
[09:06] <chell> I'd like to create a shortcut to my trash on the desktop with the 'trash' icon. How do I do that?
[09:06] <Ali_ix> deftonesgirl: check ubuntuforums.org community for the specific vga model topics
[09:06] <hitesh> Thnx
[09:06] <rickyfingers_> hitesh: anyway the full command is sudo update-initramfs -k (2.6.whatever) -c
[09:06] <Ali_ix> chell: YOU CAN ACTIVATE IT IN CONFIG EDITOR IN NAUTILUS SECTION
[09:06] <rickyfingers_> hitesh: that can solve some problems with booting a new kernel
[09:07] <hitesh> Thanks I am going to try this... right now...
[09:07] <Ali_ix> chell: sorry for capital characters
[09:07] <Ali_ix> :d
[09:07] <chell> by config editor you mean gconf?
[09:07] <Ali_ix> chell: yes
[09:07] <colbert> Anyone have a good link that explains about what a kernel is and more about it, for a beginner ??
[09:07] <chell> how do I run gconf?
[09:08] <deepfreez> Hi, how i can set clock (time) in debian?
[09:08] <Ali_ix> chell: type gconf-editor in a terminal
[09:08] <annihilus> billy, i had the osx icon package installed earier, but after changing my xgl to have  cookie :0 instead of :1 i have been stuck with a random system theme, i can change titlebars, just not icon themes
[09:08] <billy> greig__:  i changed it.
[09:08] <hitesh> I had followed following tutorial for compiling the kernel
[09:08] <hitesh> http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu?s=19658ab9a917ca808f89f4a6926db64a&
[09:09] <sue_> You do not have enough permissions to read file:///media/store what the hell is this and how do i get round it?
[09:09] <billy> annihilus: that's strange.  try in #ubuntu-effects.
[09:09] <annihilus> billy, okay, thanks
[09:10] <greig__> billy : yea i know, its just the xp side of it wont boot up and im not sure where to change thats all
[09:10] <sue_> i feel like ive entered the dark side
[09:10] <rickyfingers_> colbert: http://tldp.org/LDP/tlk/tlk.html
[09:10] <chell> mmm
[09:10] <billy> greig__: no.  i mean, I changed it again.  it's a different title this time.  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14260/
[09:10] <chell> I checked the box trash icon visible on desktop
[09:10] <chell> but it's not there
[09:10] <chell> even after restarting gnome
[09:10] <greig__> billy oh i didnt see that post, sorry
[09:11] <colbert> rickyfingers: thank you !
[09:11] <chell> oh
[09:11] <Ali_ix> chell: check apps>nautilus>desktop
[09:11] <chell> I ran gconf-editor as sudo
[09:11] <billy> greig__: naw man.  I *just* posted it.
[09:11] <chell> as root
[09:11] <Ali_ix> chell: lol
[09:11] <chell> now it works
[09:11] <rickyfingers_> colbert: no problem....only thing is I need to actually read it myself.
[09:11] <chell> thanks
[09:11] <greig__> billy : cheers
[09:11] <colbert> lol
[09:11] <colbert> ;D
[09:11] <billy> greig__: rigth on brotha.
[09:11] <Ali_ix> chell: you have option to show MyComputer, documents, network and trash icon on desktop
[09:12] <rickyfingers_> colbert: but I can tell you by skimming over it, it's a good introduction to modern computing in general.
[09:12] <deepfreez> Hi, how i can set clock (time) in debian?
[09:12] <deepfreez> ups
[09:12] <deepfreez> ubuntu*
[09:12] <deepfreez> :|
[09:12] <chell> where does the documents shortcut point to?
[09:12] <billy> sue_:  pastebin the output of `cat /etc/fstab` for me.
[09:13] <Ali_ix> deepfreez: via comman line? try date command
[09:13] <WaxyFresh> i lack a cd burnner at this time,is it possible to downlaod fiesty and install without a cd?
[09:13] <rickyfingers_> deepfreez: not in front of my ubuntu box now, but tried right clicking on the time? on the other hand look at man date  you can use sudo date to set the time.
[09:13] <sue_> okay, i am 1 day old to linux, im currently running kubuntu, i have managed to muddle through the email set up, the downloads in adept and managed to mount my second drive with ntfs. the thing is that the system wont let me view any of the files that i would like to bring to new os, it just tells me 'You do not have enough permissions to read file:///media/store' can anyone help???
[09:13] <kick_> what's the name of server ubuntu fr
[09:13] <payan> !wubi
[09:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wubi - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:13] <colbert> rickyfingers: thanks, yeah that's exactly what I want.. to stop blindly following Howtos (even tho they work!!) and *understand* the stuff they're telling me to do ;)
[09:13] <Ali_ix> kick_: try #ubuntu0fr
[09:13] <deepfreez> 10x rickyfingers
[09:14] <deepfreez> tnx
[09:14] <Ali_ix> kick_: try #ubuntu-fr
[09:14] <chell> if I set my wallpaper to a specific jpg on my hd
[09:14] <billy> sue_: where is the other drive mounted?
[09:14] <chell> can I then delete the jpg?
[09:14] <chell> or do I have to keep it
[09:14] <Ali_ix> chell: no
[09:14] <colbert> chell: have to keep it
[09:14] <chell> okay
[09:14] <sue_> in the pc??
[09:14] <hekar> chell: just keep the jph
[09:14] <rickyfingers_> sue_: You need to learn a little more about the command prompt and sudo.
[09:14] <Suurorca> ubuntu has this fundamental problem that's it's way too easi to just blindly follow HOWTOs
[09:14] <sue_> thats why im here...
[09:15] <polorix> alright, i've enabled desktop effects...how do i change the settings of all this shtuff? like more options and what not
[09:15] <billy> sue_: naw, sweetie.  are you mounting it manually, with a command line?  or is it automounting?
[09:15] <rickyfingers_> sue_: your problem is that the user id of the owner of the files your trying to access is not the same as the user id that owns the process of the k desktop environment
[09:15] <Ali_ix> Suurorca: not really fundamental problems... :d
[09:15] <nova1313> sue_ You need to use sudo or if you mounted the partition with /etc/fstab you can change it to be user readable there..
[09:15] <colbert> Suurorca: yup.. time to get ejjjumacayted
[09:15] <chell> you see, I'm planning on customising ubuntu to my liking and then using remastersys to make a livecd of that ubuntu system. I'd like the jpg to be the default wallpaper. Now, I need a 'global' place to put it
[09:15] <chell> not my home dir
[09:15] <sodoku> hey, comone, i lost oall my stuff
[09:15] <chell> where would you put it?
[09:15] <sue_> its there when i start up but not enabled
[09:15] <sue_> so i enable it but cant get in
[09:15] <nova1313> sue_: it shows on the desktop?
[09:16] <hekar> chell: /usr/share/wallpapers
[09:16] <Ali_ix> chell: /var may be the place
[09:16] <WaxyFresh> i have a usb drive,my internal is only 4 gigs,way too small to hold ubuntu right now im at 96% disk usagage.is there a way to move it to my usb without deleteing everything on my usbdrive?
[09:16] <dEBiaN> hello
[09:16] <sue_> not on the top but sysmen
[09:16] <kay>  it takes like 2 seconds of holding down keys for them to register, anyone know why?
[09:16] <rickyfingers_> sue_: so since root has access to everything, use sudo, for example sudo ls /dir/i/cannot/friggen/access/because/i/don't/have/permission
[09:16] <sue_> thanx for the help finger
[09:17] <WaxyFresh> kay: do you have a old computer?
[09:17] <olroy> Where do I get the alternate ubuntu iso?
[09:17] <WaxyFresh> kay: or are you running multiple apps?
[09:17] <rickyfingers_> sue_: then you'll be prompted for a password, and just put in the same password for the first username you put when you installed ubuntu.
[09:17] <rickyfingers_> sue_: you do understand that what I
[09:17] <Viper550> I need help with Resolution
[09:17] <billy> olroy: which version do you want?
[09:17] <Ali_ix> Viper550: what is problem?
[09:17] <olroy> amd64
[09:17] <kay> no delay at login screen
[09:17] <Viper550> Only 800x600 and 640x480 come up for Resolution. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14259/
[09:17] <Ali_ix> kay: check system load/cpu usage
[09:18] <sue_> no i dont
[09:18] <rickyfingers_> sue_: you do understand that what I'm talking about involves accessories-terminal, right_
[09:18] <WaxyFresh> kay: mow much ram/cpu speed?
[09:18] <Viper550> Yet, my xorg.conf says otherwise
[09:18] <billy> olroy: i mean, kubuntu, ubuntu, xubuntu, 6.06, 6.10, 7.04 beta?
[09:18] <nova1313> sue: are you doing it graphically?
[09:18] <nova1313> sue_: or from a terminal?
[09:18] <olroy> ubuntu. dunno which.
[09:18] <Ali_ix> Viper550: what is your VGA? did you try to install drivers?
[09:18] <Viper550> No, this is base install, and I used Wubi
[09:18] <kay> 1 gig, 3ghz, barely any in use
[09:18] <sue_> graphicaly in disk & filesystems
[09:18] <olroy> as in not the live but the alternate install
[09:18] <WaxyFresh> is there a internet browser for terminal that shows pics/graphics?
[09:18] <Dheeraj_k> how is my desktop? http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/1132/desyf5.jpg
[09:19] <Ali_ix> Viper550: what is your VGA mark & model?
[09:19] <nova1313> suye_: okay thats why what he said iddn't make sense
[09:19] <Viper550> isn't it in my xorg.conf?
[09:19] <rickyfingers_> WaxyFresh: not that I ever heard of, I think you're stuck with links or lynx
[09:19] <WaxyFresh> kay: should be fine,idont know how to help you
[09:19] <Viper550> I pastebinned my xorg.conf you know - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14259/
[09:19] <Jowi> WaxyFresh, if you intend to move the root directory the file permissions need to be saved along with the file. in that case the usb disk need to be ext3. an alternative solution is to tar/gzip the full disk into an archive and copy that to the usb disk.
[09:19] <WaxyFresh> darn
[09:19] <Rei-chan> WaxyFresh:  links/links2 can do it via framebuffer or svga.
[09:19] <hekar> WaxyFresh: Links Version 2 can be setup to see graphics, but it needs to be compiled and is a pain to setup
[09:19] <nova1313> sue_: give me a minute ill figure out what oyu have to do
[09:19] <sue_> thanx nova
[09:19] <Rei-chan> WaxyFresh: But it's still the links HTML engine, so it looks like a text browser... with pictures.
[09:20] <rickyfingers_> WaxyFresh: but that's not a bad idea...mod lynx for gterminal so it show pictures....
[09:20] <pecisk> how to remove old kernel versions after update?
[09:20] <WaxyFresh> hakar/rei-chan:thanks
[09:20] <link12245> nice dheeaj
[09:20] <Jowi> WaxyFresh, w3m will display graphics in a terminal.
[09:20] <Ali_ix> Viper550: well, you need to install official binary nvidia drivers to get full featur on your 6150 ;)
[09:20] <kay> ;(
[09:20] <WaxyFresh> !w3m
[09:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about w3m - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:20] <rickyfingers_> WaxyFresh: that would be sweet for development...
[09:20] <link12245> -CAUTION NOOB QUESTION COMMING-
[09:20] <Jowi> !info w3m
[09:20] <ubotu> w3m: WWW browsable pager with excellent tables/frames support. In component main, is standard. Version 0.5.1-4ubuntu2.6.10 (edgy), package size 1059 kB, installed size 1820 kB

[09:20] <WaxyFresh> kay: go to a terminal and type "top" for me
[09:21] <olroy> thx billy
[09:21] <Ali_ix> Viper550: check here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html, download nbinary driver and run as root
[09:21] <link12245> ne one have ne idea where i can get the wifi plugin?  I can't get online direct connect to get it, so i'm using my windows machine to chat and download
[09:21] <Ali_ix> Viper550: i have the same unboard graphic
[09:21] <Jowi> WaxyFresh, you need the w3m-img package installed in addition to "w3m" for it to work. elinks does not support images.
[09:22] <Ali_ix> !nvidia
[09:22] <rickyfingers_> link12245: do you mean ndiswrapper? you can get it from sourceforge
[09:22] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:22] <link12245> k, thanks.  basically i'm extrememly new to linux so i'm guessing everything...
[09:22] <link12245> i'll try what i can.
[09:22] <nova1313> sue_: so you are looking at the file browser?
[09:22] <rickyfingers_> anyone get nvidia driver working with xen enabled kernel?
[09:22] <kay> key delay isnt affected by cpu usage
[09:23] <WaxyFresh> link12245: try useing ndiswrapper with your windows driver.dont know how to do it but you can search google for it and find out if your drivers supported and if itll work,probly a howto also
[09:23] <link12245> thanks
[09:23] <billy> sue_: ubuntu is heavy on the command line.  it takes a little bit of getting used to.  but it really is a better way of doing things.
[09:23] <hekar> has anyone fixed the random dcop problem with kde programs not loading in gnome after install the fglrx drivers
[09:23] <sue_> system menu/storage media
[09:23] <WaxyFresh> kay: theni dont know waht to say if it isnt mem/cpu overload
[09:24] <Jowi> link12245, install network-manager-gnome and reboot. if you're lucky that's all that is needed. if not then ndiswrapper et al might be what you need.
[09:24] <tuskernini> hi all where sould i ask to get help on renaming files ?
[09:25] <adam98971> i used this guide the first example given https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows and i get a /bin/sh not found or something
[09:25] <billy> tuskernini: you can ask right here!  :)
[09:25] <nova1313> sue_: okay you are actually going to have to do it from a terminal. I don't see how to graphically otherwise so if you can open one of them
[09:25] <chell> is there a good, not so bloated, gtk2 alternative to openoffice.org?
[09:25] <nova1313> dur
[09:25] <hekar> chell: abiword is a good alternative
[09:25] <Jowi> chell, no. but abiword is a good gtk wordprocessor
[09:25] <rockz> anyone know if ubuntu support 5.1 audio channels with Realtek ALC655 6-channel Audio Codec ??
[09:25] <trix> ciao a tutti
[09:25] <WaxyFresh> is there any way to remove openoffice without removing ubuntu-core/desktop?
[09:25] <crdlb> chell, there's a abiword+gnumeric
[09:25] <chell> okay
[09:25] <tuskernini> billy, how do i rename  files called 12342134-something-something.mp4 to just something-something.mp4  ?
[09:25] <sue_> okay done that
[09:25] <william> sorry been busy cuting hair
[09:26] <nova1313> sue_: we can set it up so that you will have permissions to use it withouy using the command line all the time
[09:26] <FakeOutdoorsman> how do i pipe text from a terminal to a text file?  I've done it before but I forgot how.  something like >&2....duhhh
[09:26] <trix> @list
[09:26] <ubotu> Admin, Bantracker, Bugtracker, Channel, Config, Encyclopedia, Lart, LpLogin, Math, Mess, Misc, Owner, RSS, Services, User, and Webcal
[09:26] <chell> I'd only need a wordprocessor + a spreadsheet app, so your combo sounds good
[09:26] <william> Could not find sensor 'Bible' /usr/share/gdesklets/Displays/bible-desklet/votd.display
[09:26] <sue_> cool
[09:26] <hekar> WaxyFresh: the ubuntu Desktop package is just a reference
[09:26] <Viper550> FakeOutdoorsman: Select it all, Copy, Paste? How obvious
[09:26] <nova1313> sue_: type mount and look for a line that has the /media/... stuff on you were talking about earlier
[09:26] <tuskernini> billy,  so actually stripping off the first 11 characters... does sed do that?
[09:26] <ferronica> which Application to use to burn .iso
[09:26] <nova1313> sue_: paste that in here so I can see it.
[09:26] <Ali_ix> tuskernini: try mv 123file file
[09:26] <WaxyFresh> hekar: so it wont remove my desktop with it?
[09:26] <hekar> ferronica: sudo apt-get install k3b
[09:26] <RickJones> is there a way to delete a file from GUI which tells me i don't have permisison, or do i simply terminal in and sudo rm the file ?
[09:26] <tuskernini> Ali_ix, i want to bash rename
[09:26] <FakeOutdoorsman> not like that viper because the resulting text overflows the terminal
[09:26] <billy> tuskernini: in a terminal `mv 12341234-something-something.mp4 whateveryouwanttonameit.mp4`.  may have to use `sudo` before that command, if root owns the file.
[09:26] <hekar> WaxyFresh: no it won't remove anything
[09:26] <william> how i fix the Bible desklet
[09:27] <ferronica> hekar: any other then it
[09:27] <tuskernini> billy, batch rename
[09:27] <WaxyFresh> RickJones: just sudo it
[09:27] <Ali_ix> tuskernini: what do you mean? mv is a bach command
[09:27] <sue_> /dev/hdb1 on /media/store type ntfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,uid=65534,gid=100)
[09:27] <tuskernini> Ali_ix, batch.. sorry
[09:27] <RickJones> ok, thx
[09:27] <Ali_ix> *bash
[09:27] <billy> william:  I've never figured out how to use it.  I use E-Sword using Wine.
[09:27] <WaxyFresh> billy: you nkow theres a christian edition of ubuntu?
[09:27] <greig__> billy : what was the command again to edit that file
[09:28] <billy> tuskernini: never used that command.
[09:28] <william> how do you user wine for esword pm me please
[09:28] <hekar> ferronica: sorry never used any other cd burning program on ubuntu
[09:28] <jva> i'm on an older pc, and ubuntu is a bit slow. how can i make it faster?
[09:28] <Ali_ix> tuskernini: check this: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/150
[09:28] <RickJones> use K3B, i love it , so easy
[09:28] <billy> WaxyFresh: yes.  I upgraded to Feisty before I realized there was one. :)
[09:28] <jva> for example can i reduce the eye-candy and effects of gnome to make it more lightweight?
[09:28] <hekar> jva: install xbuntu on an older pc
[09:28] <billy> greig__: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:28] <Jowi> ferronica, if you're using gnome then a right click on the iso file should give you an option to burn it if i'm not mistaken...
[09:28] <jva> hekar: i want ubuntu
[09:28] <hekar> jva: yes u can start by reducing the font quality
[09:28] <william> billy:  how do you user wine for esword pm me please
[09:28] <tuskernini> Ali_ix, i tried but i need the perl command that strips off the first 11 charackters off a string
[09:29] <WaxyFresh> jva: look into switching your window manager to fluxbox,change your desktop to solid coler,remove unneeded services
[09:29] <Ali_ix> tuskernini: you may use sed with regex to remove digits or any thing and rename files
[09:29] <billy> william: one sec.
[09:29] <WaxyFresh> !fluxbox | jva:
[09:29] <ubotu> jva:: fluxbox is a lightweight and responsive window manager for GNU/Linux. For how to set it up and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox
[09:29] <jva> WaxyFresh: how can i see which services are currently running?
[09:29] <dyrne> jva: gnome is never going to be light weight. xfce is only alternative for that. gnome pulls in all kinds of stuff to do simple things. it constanly borrows existing progs and loads em instead of something coded from scratch if that makes any sense
[09:29] <nova1313> sue_: okay you want to do... sudo nano /etc/fstab
[09:29] <Ali_ix> tuskernini: a simple bash script would held (instead of one line commands)
[09:29] <chell> anyone know which metacity theme this is ( in the first screenshot): http://deluge-torrent.org/attachment/wiki/Screenshots/Deluge-0.5.0-Details.png
[09:29] <dyrne> jva: i mention xfce becaulse of gtk
[09:30] <ferronica> jowi: open with CD-DVD creater?
[09:30] <jva> dyrne: does xfce use gtk?
[09:30] <dyrne> jva: yeah
[09:30] <nova1313> sue_: it's going to ask you for a password type it
[09:30] <dyrne> jva: same themes etc.
[09:30] <jva> is there a gnome control panel?
[09:30] <tuskernini> Ali_ix, yes.. i am also playing around wit for and if... will see if i figure it out thanks
[09:30] <Ali_ix> tuskernini: check synaptic, i remember a graphical gnome based app for batch renaming there
[09:30] <hekar> Anyone have a solution to kde applications not loading gnome because the dcop error
[09:30] <Jowi> ferronica, should be it, yes. (i'm not using gnome atm)
[09:30] <william> i have Esword on the other partition running windows xp
[09:30] <Ali_ix> tuskernini: goodluck l(
[09:30] <tuskernini> Ali_ix, i like the commandline
[09:31] <Ali_ix> tuskernini: just liek me :)
[09:31] <harry_> I have one box running ubuntu server 6.10, and another box running edgy. Can I connect them directly with an Ethernet cable?
[09:31] <Jowi> ferronica, and in that window you should have a "write to disc" button...
[09:31] <sue_> ok
[09:31] <adam98971> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows dosent work for me
[09:31] <dyrne> jva: you can run gnome-panel from xfce or fluxbox for that matter if you want. you can even just start x with nothing but a windows and run gnome-panel. but gnome apps will be bloated
[09:31] <billy> william: you have wine on your ubuntu yet?
[09:31] <ferronica> owi: yes
[09:31] <nova1313> sue_: /dev/hdb1 /media/store auto defaults,user, noauto 0 0 you want a line that looks like that...
[09:31] <william> let me see
[09:31] <hekar> harry_: yes but what do you want to do after connecting them?
[09:31] <ferronica> owi: but it will make data CD i think so

[09:39] <jva> ali and how do i get it back in case of the installing?
[09:39] <shinichizio> WaxyFresh: I appreciate the effort, but I think there's something terribly wrong with...something. Things are crashing unexpectedly for no reason all the time.

[09:56] <ubotu> rickyfingers, steel_lady: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[09:56] <andys> like 10mins on old thiinky
[09:56] <chell> I'm a GNOME guy
[09:56] <steel_lady> rickyfingers_, yes I realize it will happen if I stay on Linux but I am not sure of that
[09:56] <chell> so I'm not gonna use amark
[09:56] <chell> however
[09:56] <chell> I have used it in the past
[09:56] <adam98971> its good chell
[09:56] <chell> I know
[09:56] <chell> it's the best
[09:56] <cypherdelic> How to load "nvidia-settings -l" when Xserver is initialised? Where to search that script??
[09:56] <prom> andys > yeah, but 10+ minutes?
[09:56] <chell> unfortunately it's kde
[09:56] <rickyfingers_> adam98971: I gives a h00t what the intent is. The reality is that if you want to start controlling what
[09:56] <chell> Qt
[09:56] <chell> and it looks just ugly on GNOME
[09:57] <andys> prom.  on my pos for a computer.  yeah
[09:57] <rickyfingers_> a computer does, you have to start writing code.
[09:57] <andys> sometimes it hangs thogh
[09:57] <tomy-dsd> (gedit:4881): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Failed to open session DBUS connection: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
[09:57] <tomy-dsd> i got this error
[09:57] <tomy-dsd> when i run gedit
[09:57] <prom> andys> not much of a live CD then...

[09:57] <ubotu> tomy-dsd: The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[09:57] <variant> rickyfingers_: u saw the #ubuntu-offtopic note from ubotu right?
[09:57] <Amaranth> tomy-dsd: your dbus session bus died, logout and back in
[09:57] <avidal> So I've been trying to install Ubuntu desktop 6.10 the past two days.  I've tried it in safe graphics mode, I've tried it with and without noacpi and nolacpi, and without fail, once I double click the Install icon, it freezes.  Sometimes I can see the window show up, othertimes it locks up before it's finished loading the window.  I've tried it with all USB devices unplugged as well, and I've booted it without quiet splash and nothing 
[09:57] <avidal> stood out.  I'm running an AMD Sempron 3000+ with 1gb of pc3200 with a SATA 160gb hdd
[09:57] <avidal> Any suggestions?
[09:57] <steel_lady> adam98971 I tried that before and it is very poor :-/
[09:58] <ikonia> avidal: sounds odd, try running memtest for a few hours
[09:58] <Jowi> avidal, try the alternate cd
[09:58] <ikonia> Jowi: another excellent option
[09:58] <cypherdelic> How to search for a script by its content? I am searching for the script that loads gnome-session! PLEASE HELP
[09:58] <jva> how do i get fluxubuntu through apt-get?
[09:58] <insane_alien> hey there again, i'm trying to restore a windows installation from an image i made earlier today. it just finished a few minutes ago but when i tried to boot it said 'invalid partition table' i think this may have been because the drive was formatted to NTFS before i began, so, do i need an unformatted drive before i begin this or has it all went horribly wrong?
[09:58] <variant> jva: apt-get install fluxbox
[09:58] <ikonia> cypherdelic: you don't need caps. just use grep
[09:58] <ikonia> insane_alien: thats nothing to do with ubuntu
[09:59] <rickyfingers_> insane_alien: Xen
[09:59] <jpjacobs> avidal, check the medium against the provided md5sums, and if it turns out good, check your ram with memtest
[09:59] <ikonia> insane_alien: this is an ubuntu support channel, not windows
[09:59] <cypherdelic> ikonia: what do you mean?
[09:59] <ikonia> cypherdelic: grep through the scripts
[09:59] <mom_> The installation problem is that it fails due to what looks like a CD drive error.  I can run ubuntu off the CD adn it works fine.  I can install suse and it works.  The md5sum is valid.  The installation just fails but not always consistently at the same file installation.
[09:59] <cypherdelic> ikonia:  come on dont do mysteries
[09:59] <insane_alien> i know but the windows guys are being bastards
[09:59] <ikonia> mom_: run the cd check
[09:59] <mom_> I did and it passed the cd check
[09:59] <ikonia> insane_alien: 1.) NO bad language 2.) just because windows isn't answering - doesn't mean ask in here
[09:59] <avidal> jpjacobs: I ran memtest overnight and it's fine, and I've run the cd integrity check.
[09:59] <variant> insane_alien: man, take it somewhere else. noone here cares
[10:00] <ikonia> cypherdelic: not doing mysteries, just use grep
[10:00] <cypherdelic> im searching now for 40 minutes, please help
[10:00] <avidal> Jowi: What's the difference between the alternate CD and the standard one?
[10:00] <cypherdelic> ikonia: how?
[10:00] <rickyfingers_> insane_alien: boot the friggen image with xen.  that will solve your problems.
[10:00] <ikonia> cypherdelic: man grep
[10:00] <cypherdelic> ikonia: i know grep
[10:00] <variant> ikonia: i give up, forever.. :P
[10:00] <ikonia> cypherdelic: so thats no problem
[10:00] <variant> cya all
[10:00] <cypherdelic> ikonia: my english is poor
[10:00] <ikonia> variant: I feel your pain
[10:00] <rgvguplb> alternate cd is for server install?
[10:00] <tomy-dsd> yesi i loged in and logout
[10:00] <tomy-dsd> still same error
[10:00] <avidal> server cd is for server install, rgvguplb
[10:00] <tomy-dsd> i even did reboot
[10:00] <Jowi> avidal, alternate cd is not a live cd. it is text install. it is lighter on resources and is generally more stable.
[10:00] <ikonia> tomy-dsd: for some reason dbus is being killed or failing to start
[10:01] <avidal> Jowi: I see
[10:01] <Amaranth> cypherdelic: /usr/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop is responsible for that
[10:01] <tomy-dsd> so what to do
[10:01] <insane_alien> its a pretty non-os specific question anyway, when i write the image to the harddrive does it have to be unformatted?
[10:01] <tomy-dsd>  ps -C dbus-daemon
[10:01] <tomy-dsd>   PID TTY          TIME CMD
[10:01] <tomy-dsd>  4256 ?        00:00:00 dbus-daemon
[10:01] <tomy-dsd>  5038 ?        00:00:00 dbus-daemon
[10:01] <Firefoxman> HOW CAN I change the mountpoint of my ipod? gtkpod dosnt seem to like spaces.
[10:01] <cypherdelic> Amaranth: thanks:)
[10:01] <Firefoxman> It is currently NAME's IPOD
[10:01] <Jowi> cypherdelic, and /sr/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop simply launches /usr/bin/gnome-session
[10:01] <ikonia> Firefoxman: stop using caps
[10:02] <Amaranth> Firefoxman: rhythmbox works with the ipod
[10:02] <cypherdelic> ikonia: so grep gnome-session is right
[10:02] <Amaranth> ikonia: that's the name of the ipod partition :)
[10:02] <Firefoxman> ikonia: Sorry, capslock was on
[10:02] <ikonia> cypherdelic: you need a search string
[10:02] <rickyfingers_> insane_alien: I'm not quite sure, but when I do a partition image, i use dd if=/dev/disk of=whateveriwant
[10:02] <Firefoxman> and, amaranth was right..
[10:02] <avidal> If the alternate CD doesn't work for me, I suppose I'll try installing server edition and then upgrading to desktop from there
[10:02] <insane_alien> ricky, thats what i'm using
[10:02] <bobesponja> hey all, how can I switch my local from french to english en_US? so that when I type date I get it in english?
[10:02] <ikonia> insane_alien: go to #windows
[10:02] <dyrne> avidal: there are other options as well
[10:03] <Firefoxman> Amaranth: But, does rythembox support syncing and podcasts?
[10:03] <insane_alien> its not an os specific question
[10:03] <ikonia> insane_alien: so here it not the place - this channel is os speicific
[10:03] <Amaranth> bobslaede: System->Administration->Language Support
[10:03] <rickyfingers_> insane_alien: then if you have a processor that supports virtualization you can boot the image with xen, no friggen vmware required.
[10:03] <Amaranth> bobslaede: and System->Keyboard
[10:03] <avidal> dyrne: Such as?  I've tried all of the methods that I've found online to get the regular desktop install to work, with no luck.  I'm now going to try the alternate installer
[10:03] <dyrne> avidal: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation  those listed here
[10:03] <Amaranth> bobslaede: err, System->Preferences->Keyboard
[10:04] <insane_alien> its not going to be emulated. i borked the partition table when i ran the installer and i want to restore the system as it was
[10:04] <ikonia> insane_alien: ask in ##windows
[10:04] <mom_> ##windows
[10:04] <rickyfingers_> ikonia: any question about any os is on topic, since one can use xen in ubuntu to run any o/s imaginable. this is something that will lead to the triumph of ubuntu/linux over everything.
[10:04] <Firefoxman> Amaranth: How do i _sync_ my ipod in rythembox?
[10:05] <Amaranth> Firefoxman: you don't :/
[10:05] <ikonia> rickyfingers he's asking how to restrore his windows partition - thats nothing to do with ubuntu
[10:05] <insane_alien> yes and i borked it installing ubuntu
[10:05] <Firefoxman> Amaranth
[10:05] <Amaranth> Firefoxman: you could unmount your ipod and then manually mount it with a different path
[10:05] <Metal03> How do I install an auto-extract file (.bin)?
[10:05] <ikonia> insane_alien: thts not important
[10:05] <insane_alien> i know
[10:05] <Firefoxman> Amaranth: How?
[10:05] <rickyfingers_> insane_alien: first of all, you need to find out what partition all your windows stuff is on
[10:05] <Amaranth> Firefoxman: umount and mount command line tools
[10:06] <ikonia> insane_alien: so please stop asking
[10:06] <rickyfingers_> insane_alien: then mount the partition and save stuff.
[10:06] <jpjacobs> Metal03, it's best not to, unless absolutely necessary
[10:06] <Amaranth> Firefoxman: actually, that's going to end badly
[10:06] <insane_alien> fine, then
[10:06] <ikonia> thanks
[10:06] <Firefoxman> Amaranth: Why?
[10:06] <rickyfingers_> insane_alien: what I reccomend is the
[10:06] <rickyfingers_> insane_alien: http://www.inside-security.de/INSERT.html
[10:07] <quaal> why does gparted not allow me to format in ntfs ?
[10:07] <Amaranth> Firefoxman: because i don't remember how to mount a fat32 partition so that regular users can access it
[10:07] <dudicus> what is a fast ubuntu mirror for the us all I can find are 100k ones..
[10:07] <rickyfingers_> burn the image of the cd they have their, then use friggen gparted to see what partitions are actually theri
[10:07] <Amaranth> quaal: because microsoft won't tell us how ntfs works
[10:07] <apokryphos> dudicus: the torrent will be very fast
[10:07] <quaal> Amaranth, gay!
[10:07] <dudicus> apokryphos, im talking about for debs
[10:07] <dudicus> ala apt
[10:07] <quaal> the ntfs option is there, its just greyed out
[10:07] <Firefoxman> !language > quaal
[10:07] <apokryphos> quaal: please don't use that as a derogatory term
[10:07] <rickyfingers_> insane_alien: then just use sudo mount to mount the partitions and copy the files you need, if ther files are actually there.
[10:07] <dyrne> dudicus: try removing the country prefix from the urls remove the us. for example
[10:07] <gnomefreak> quaal: dont call people names
[10:07] <quaal> Firefoxman, calm down.
[10:08] <quaal> gnomefreak, i didnt call anyone a name.
[10:08] <dudicus> dyrne, alright thanks
[10:08] <Metal03> jpjacobs: I'm trying to install a program I had when I had Edgy64 called : Frostwire and it just won't work!!  But it says I need java (which I installed) but I think I'd need the latest version!!

[10:08] <ubotu> quaal: The Ubuntu Code of Conduct to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/
[10:09] <quaal> Firefoxman, its getting annoying.
[10:09] <Firefoxman> CAN someone help me unmount my ipod and remount it so everyone can acess it?
[10:09] <jcsmith> hi all, i'm trying to install the beta of feisty on a desktop that previously had dapper on it and when booting to the feisty live cd, i get the following error(s), any ideas? /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
[10:09] <Jowi> !feisty | jcsmith
[10:09] <ubotu> jcsmith: 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)
[10:09] <gnomefreak> jcsmith: join #ubuntu+1
[10:09] <Firefoxman> jcsmith: Go to #ubuntu+1
[10:09] <PriceChild> Firefoxman, running nautilus/gnome ?
[10:10] <Firefoxman> PriceChild: Yes.
[10:10] <runjun> does anyone know why my ubuntu isn't recognizing my cd-r's
[10:10] <jpjacobs> Metal03, it's best to install stuff through synaptic or the like, have you checked whether it is available
[10:10] <PriceChild> Firefoxman, and nautilus isn't mounting it properly?
[10:10] <Jowi> runjun, empty or used ones?
[10:10] <runjun> empty
[10:10] <jcsmith> whoops, guess i should have read the /topic before asking, thanks
[10:10] <Firefoxman> PriceChild: No, one of my apps cant deal with spaces in filenames
[10:10] <Jowi> runjun, to use an empty cd'r you are not supposed to mount them.
[10:11] <Jowi> runjun, only used cdr will be recognised.
[10:11] <PriceChild> Firefoxman, oh... so it mounts properly but "one" app can't read it?
[10:11] <Firefoxman> PriceChild: It is called NAME'S IPOD and I want to mount to ipod
[10:11] <Metal03> jpjacobs: I went thru the add/remove tool and it doesn't install the latest version...  But I'm not even sure the problem is linked to java
[10:11] <Firefoxman> PriceChild: Yep.
[10:11] <runjun> so how do I burn an iso
[10:11] <PriceChild> Firefoxman, its the ' that's the problem afaik
[10:11] <rickyfingers_> runjun: you need to do dmesg | less and look for where it mknoded your cdrom
[10:11] <PriceChild> Firefoxman, i had that problem too. spaces didn't matter
[10:11] <runjun> ok
[10:11] <Jowi> runjun, use graveman (one of many good burners), insert the cd and press "write"
[10:11] <PriceChild> Firefoxman, Easiest solution is to use itunes to rename your ipod.
[10:12] <Metal03> jpjacobs: it's just that when I install Frostwire (www.frostwire.com) it installs, but then nothing works...
[10:12] <rickyfingers_> runjun: then you sudo mount /dev/whateverdmesgsaid
[10:12] <ikonia> PriceChild: is the mount point determained from the device name ?
[10:12] <PriceChild> ikonia, yup basically.
[10:12] <dyrne> runjun: basically you need a file system in place to mount
[10:12] <rickyfingers_> runjun: /whateverdirectoryyouwant.
[10:12] <Geoffrey2> are there any 3rd party repositories for Ubuntu 6.10 that would have the latest beta of gaim?
[10:12] <Jowi> rickyfingers, empty cdr's will not mount
[10:12] <Firefoxman> PriceChild: Ok. Will fix.
[10:12] <runjun> ok
[10:12] <PriceChild> Firefoxman, there is a way to rename the ipod in linux... but its really not fun
[10:12] <ikonia> Geoffrey2: don't tihnk so
[10:13] <jpjacobs> Metal03, i never used it, but i just wanted to warn you for manually installing stuff... it can be difficult to remove stuff like that
[10:14] <Jowi> runjun, no need even to try to mount an empty disc. since it does not contain a filesystem it will not mount.
[10:14] <cjsoftuk> I'm using Ubuntu Server 6.10, and I used useradd to add users, but it didn't add the mail entries.  How do I fix this?
[10:14] <dyrne> Firefoxman: if this were debian a few years ago youd have gotten an obscure comment about udev and told to read the manual :-)
[10:14] <Metal03> jpjacobs: kk
[10:14] <ikonia> cjsoftuk: add the mail entries yourself
[10:14] <runjun> all i'm trying to do is burn the 32 bit ubuntu iso
[10:14] <ikonia> cjsoftuk: the /etc/password based users do not always map to your mail users
[10:15] <bruenig> runjun, are you in ubuntu
[10:15] <ikonia> runjun: you don't mount the disk to burn it
[10:15] <runjun> yea
[10:15] <cjsoftuk> ikonia: I've added the /var/spool/mail entries
[10:15] <Geoffrey2> well then, guess i'll just have to stick with an older Beta for now
[10:15] <simpo> hi! I have problems with 5.1 sound, all works ok all speakers all working but i dont hear human talk :/ any ideas ?
[10:15] <bruenig> runjun, do you know the device name of your cd burner
[10:15] <cjsoftuk> ikonia: where else do I need to add stuff/
[10:15] <ikonia> cjsoftuk: errr don't think you need to do that
[10:16] <runjun> TEAC CD-W58E
[10:16] <ikonia> cjsoftuk: depends what mail server your using
[10:16] <cjsoftuk> ikonia: postfix
[10:16] <Firefoxman> How do I setup openssh?
[10:16] <bruenig> runjun, no that is not it, do "grep cdrom /etc/fstab"
[10:16] <ikonia> Firefoxman: install it
[10:16] <JimmTool> Good evening everyone! Could somebody give me little help with WLAN usb-device? Little brothers Zonet zew2502 usb can be found on "device manager", but I cannot locate it with "iwconfig". howcome?
[10:16] <ikonia> Firefoxman: it does pretty much the rest itsself
[10:16] <bruenig> runjun, it should be /dev/something
[10:16] <jpjacobs> Firefoxman, sudo aptitude install openssh-server
[10:16] <ikonia> cjsoftuk: what user auth are you running against
[10:17] <twazz> Does anybody know of a program for GNU/Linux that does the same thing as Deamon Tools?
[10:17] <ikonia> cjsoftuk: for postfix
[10:17] <Firefoxman> JimmTool: USB WLAN devices are the bane of users everywere. I recomend a PCI card.
[10:17] <ikonia> twazz: daemon tools is available
[10:17] <jpjacobs> twazz, what does the thing do?
[10:17] <ikonia> twazz: daemon tools is a gnu package
[10:17] <cjsoftuk> ikonia: for SMTP: tls
[10:17] <Jowi> runjun, simply rightclick on the iso image and chose "open with cd/dvd creator"
[10:17] <dyrne> twazz: not necessary you can mount iso to a directory
[10:17] <ikonia> cjsoftuk: thats not an auth system
[10:17] <runjun> /dev/hdc        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
[10:17] <ikonia> cjsoftuk: ldap/mysql/password/posfix etc etc etc
[10:18] <cjsoftuk> ikonia: well it's against the passwd file then
[10:18] <bruenig> runjun, ok good, where is the .iso file located
[10:18] <twazz> i am looking to mount .cue files not iso
[10:18] <runjun> tried that Jowi
[10:18] <ikonia> cjsoftuk: then useadd should create them for you
[10:18] <bruenig> twazz, you can convert it to is
[10:18] <runjun> desktop
[10:18] <bruenig> !iso | twazz
[10:18] <ubotu> twazz: To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[10:18] <JimmTool> Firefoxman, ah thank you. They just bought the cheapest one they could find, I cant blame them :) Need to wait over easter to get PCI card :(
[10:18] <cjsoftuk> ikonia: at least, as far as I am aware!
[10:18] <dyrne> twazz: either convert to iso (which i never do) or download cdemu allows you to mount em
[10:18] <ikonia> cjsoftuk: what did you set it up to do ?
[10:18] <dyrne> twazz: if its a movie mplayer can play it directly
[10:19] <bruenig> runjun, ok make sure your blank cd is in the drive and then do this "cd ~/Desktop && cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc *.iso"
[10:19] <Firefoxman> JimmTool: Glad I was able to help.
[10:19] <cjsoftuk> ikonia: I didn't!, I just installed ubuntu server, let it create the default user (under the name I specified) and then it has simly worked since then
[10:19] <jojoman02> will someone just please make an iso mounting program....
[10:19] <twazz> thank you guys
[10:19] <ikonia> cjsoftuk: thats why it won't work, its not configured
[10:19] <bruenig> !mountiso | jojoman02
[10:19] <ubotu> jojoman02: To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[10:19] <Agrajag> jojoman02: there is one, it's called "mount".
[10:20] <runjun> alright i think it's going
[10:20] <Firefoxman> What about YamiPod. I have heard that was good.
[10:20] <Grendel> is the jmicron issue fixed in the latest herd of feisty? i mean with the updated kernel incorporated and such?
[10:20] <Jowi> Grendel, #ubuntu+1 for feisty support
[10:20] <cjsoftuk> ikonia: I see.  All i'm trying to do is make postfix recieve mail for the users I have aded
[10:20] <jojoman02> let me rephrase will someone please make a GUI Gtk based iso mounting program that is easy to use...
[10:21] <Firefoxman> When I am over SSH, is it possble for me to get a gui?
[10:21] <ikonia> cjsoftuk: have a read up on how to configure postfix
[10:21] <Grendel> jowl: oh thank u
[10:21] <ikonia> Firefoxman: yes
[10:21] <Firefoxman> ikonia: How?
[10:21] <knapper> Hey guys, I'm about to reformat, what am I forgetting to backup?
[10:21] <ikonia> Firefoxman: what do you want, a full desktop or just an app
[10:21] <Dragonhorse> how can I tell apt to download several packages concurrently during 'apt-get update'?
[10:21] <dyrne> jojoman02: well if many people would want that i guess it be pretty easy to make a gui that incorporates support for cue too
[10:21] <ikonia> knapper: nothing
[10:21] <ikonia> knapper: just do it
[10:21] <knapper> haha, ok!
[10:21] <Firefoxman> jojoman02: We dont just "make" software. Learn to use bash.
[10:21] <Jowi> Firefoxman, "ssh user@ip -X" will enable you to run x applications remotely
[10:21] <bruenig> Dragonhorse, apt-get install package1 package2 ...
[10:22] <Firefoxman> ikonia: Full desktop
[10:22] <bruenig> jojoman02, there are some nautilus scripts
[10:22] <ikonia> Firefoxman: then you need to reall use xdmcp or vnc or the remote desktop protocol (never used remote desktop protocol)
[10:22] <jojoman02> Firefoxman, i'd rather learn to program and make it myself... rather than using bash (don't get me wrong i love bash)
[10:22] <ikonia> jojoman02: then go learn how to progream
[10:22] <ikonia> program
[10:23] <twazz> while i'm here, where can I find more info about the windows based installer for ubuntu that I have read about?
[10:23] <Dragonhorse> bruenig: i'm doing 'apt-get dist-upgrade' so I can't specify several packages
[10:23] <jojoman02> ikonia, i wish i had the time, and when i do trust me i will..
[10:23] <Firefoxman> ikonia: Well, I heard vnc was realy realy insucure. And I havnt heard of xdmcp. And, I need to be able to do this from windows.
[10:23] <jpjacobs> Firefoxman, don't use vnc unless you have the 2boxes on a net without quota, and don't mind waiting
[10:23] <jpjacobs> Firefoxman, try putty+Xming... really good
[10:23] <ikonia> Firefoxman: ahhhh thats a bit messy in my opinion
[10:23] <bruenig> jojoman02, what a waste of a program, something that mounts isos when you can script that command above and put it in the file manager, so all you have to do is right click on an iso and then click mount
[10:24] <bruenig> jojoman02, http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Mount_ISO_script
[10:24] <cjsoftuk> ikonia: well I have found out what's going on!  I'm actually using SASL, and the certificalte TLS file isn't there!
[10:24] <Firefoxman> jpjacobs: Waiting for what? And yes, both are fiber optic connected.
[10:24] <jpjacobs> really putty+xming works and is also all free software
[10:24] <ikonia> cjsoftuk: that should just stop auth - not delivery
[10:24] <jpjacobs> Firefoxman, vnc is SLOW and takes up about 1/2 MByte/sec
[10:24] <cjsoftuk> ikonia: ok, well, I dont know WHERE it's getting it's users from!
[10:25] <Duval> good evening
[10:25] <ikonia> cjsoftuk: as I said check the docs on the wiki - it explains how to do a setup
[10:25] <jpjacobs> Firefoxman, take a look at the putty/ xming combination. for putty: google, and xming is on sourceforge
[10:25] <jojoman02> bruenig, think daemon tools..., thankz for the link
[10:25] <ace> hi all
[10:26] <ace> anyone here using fawn?
[10:26] <ikonia> ace: people in #ubuntu+1 are
[10:26] <ace> where can i get w32codecs?
[10:26] <Duval> could someone tell me approximatly how long it would take to upgrade from edgy to feisty?
[10:26] <Metal03> Hello everyone, I'm trying to mount my former NTFS HD (previously mounted in Edgy64) but when I try "sudo mount /dev/hd* windows" it says : "mount: you must specify the filesystem type"...  any ideas?
[10:26] <dyrne> ace: mplayer website is one place
[10:26] <ace> ikonia: asked, but no responce
[10:26] <ikonia> ace #ubuntu+1 wait in there
[10:26] <rickyfingers_> ace: mplayer
[10:26] <bruenig> jojoman02, daemon tools is necessary because mounting stuff isn't built into the windows shell
[10:26] <Firefoxman> !codecs | ace
[10:26] <ubotu> ace: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[10:26] <bruenig> jojoman02, it is a waste when you have such full support
[10:26] <PriceChild> ace, Feisty is in +1 only. Not here thanks :)
[10:27] <ace> ok thanks
[10:27] <oleg> Hi, I got new Ipod Nano, and it no longer works, although my old one still works. Any way to fix that?
[10:27] <theacolyte> !offtopic | oleg
[10:27] <ubotu> oleg: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[10:27] <theacolyte> hehe
[10:27] <timerabu> hi
[10:27] <timerabu> guys
[10:27] <PriceChild> oleg, as in it doesn't mount in ubuntu?
[10:27] <timerabu> can't watch some online movies
[10:27] <timerabu> man
[10:28] <rgvguplb> metal03, maybe add -t ntfs to your mount command
[10:28] <Metal03> Anyone knows how to access a HD (like force mount it)?
[10:28] <rickyfingers_> timerabu: vlc will probably be what you need. use synaptic to install vlc media player, then sit back and enjoy
[10:28] <timerabu> i have vlc
[10:28] <dyrne> timerabu: flash movies?
[10:28] <timerabu> man
[10:28] <timerabu> i have that too
[10:29] <oleg> PriceChild: I can mount it manually, but automound is acting like there is no new device plugged
[10:29] <kuba> Hello
[10:29] <cjsoftuk> ikonia: DUH, wrong name!
[10:29] <cjsoftuk> ikonia: it was fine all the time!  I was just being stupid!
[10:29] <kuba> Does anyone know how to write a script which eject my cd-rom?
[10:30] <jpjacobs> kuba: eject ;)
[10:30] <timerabu> i am opening that site in morzilla and it is saying that i need to use IE or Morzila.
[10:30] <rickyfingers_> Metal03: use dmesg to figure out what /dev/whatever your disk is associated with, then mount it with sudo mount /dev/whatever /thediriectoryiwant
[10:30] <abo> anyone can help me setup my graphic card hardware acceleration so googleearth would work properly?
[10:30] <dyrne> abo: nvidia or ati?
[10:30] <kuba> jpjacobs:sorry?
[10:30] <abo> dyrne, ati
[10:31] <rickyfingers_> abo: first of all you need to know what kind of graphics card you have...usually nvidia or friggen whats the other one...ati
[10:31] <runjun> ok that did it guys thanks a lot
[10:31] <twazz> Does anyone have experience with using a Creative MuVo v100 under Ubuntu? I'm having a problem
[10:31] <abo> rickyfingers_, I have ati,
[10:31] <rickyfingers_> abo: after you figure that out, there's already like 10,000 howtos to do what you want.  use google.
[10:32] <linuske> hi all!
[10:32] <jpjacobs> kuba just type eject
[10:32] <linuske> I'm french :p
[10:32] <linuske> And I love Ubuntu!
[10:32] <pdbogen> Suppose I wanted to take a running Ubuntu system and uninstall everything except the base system.. How would I do that?
[10:32] <kuba> jpjacobs:of course:))
[10:33] <rickyfingers_> linuske: I think it's killer that you're french....and I don
[10:33] <bruenig> pdbogen, that is a tough one
[10:33] <v`nix> anyone know how to get the session to stay active or just lock out instead of killing X and all the stuff i had running when i close the lid on the laptop
[10:33] <bruenig> pdbogen, by base you mean just the ubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-minimal stuff
[10:34] <pdbogen> bruenig : Could I do something like.... apt-get install .*- base ?
[10:34] <pdbogen> ubuntu-minimal, yeah.
[10:34] <pdbogen> I don't think I even want ubuntu-desktop.
[10:34] <linuske> rickyfingers_ don?
[10:34] <bruenig> pdbogen, so you would have to remove everything else
[10:34] <pdbogen> Yes.
[10:34] <Jowi> linuske, if you need support in french join #ubuntu-fr . si vous avez besoin de support en francais va a #ubuntu-fr. :)
[10:34] <linuske> jowi: j'y suis dja :p
[10:35] <linuske> c'etait juste pour discuter avec des anglais :)
[10:35] <linuske> just in order to discuss with English/american
[10:35] <Jowi> linuske, very good. this channel is english only
[10:35] <jva> i set up my wireless wpa connection and it worked fine
[10:36] <kuba> jpjacobs:thanks, it's working
[10:36] <kuba> :)
[10:36] <jva> but when i restart the pc, it loses the connection
[10:36] <GodTodd> anyone happen to have a quick link to a tutorial on setting up samba to allow win boxes to print to an ubuntu box?
[10:36] <jva> and i have to type sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[10:36] <jva>  each time
[10:36] <jva> after that, it works
[10:36] <bruenig> pdbogen, well I wrote a script recently that could probably be easily modified to help achieve that, there are two core meta packages, ubuntu-minimal and ubuntu-standard, you can remove everything else except those packages
[10:36] <pdbogen> bruenig : Would my apt-get install .*- ubuntu-minimal ubuntu-standard work?
[10:37] <linuske> how can i select an alias in my chat window?
[10:37] <jva> how do i make it work on startup without having to restart networking?
[10:37] <bruenig> pdbogen, no because all those other packages will stay
[10:37] <Jowi> linuske, /name newnickname
[10:37] <Cryoniq> My sister brought over an external USB2 Hard disk drive by name TargaBox. I inserted it into 6.10 system and it mounted up the disk. Problem: I can only read content, cannot write at all to the disk. *shrug* Any suggestions?
[10:37] <Jowi> Cryoniq, what file system does it use?
[10:38] <linuske> thanks Jowi
[10:38] <foxiness> jva: did you try to add it simple to session
[10:38] <Decadent> how can i make ubuntu see a camera that i have connected with a firewire in order to extract something i've recorded??
[10:38] <dyrne> Cryoniq: probably ntfs
[10:38] <chili5555> jva: using NetworkManager?
[10:38] <linuske> and to quote someone?
[10:38] <Cryoniq> Jowi, I been trying to figure that out. All googles turned up german discussions.. :) But yes.. NTFS appear in them.
[10:38] <jva> foxiness: what do you mean? how do i do that?
[10:39] <Jowi> Cryoniq, type "mount" in a terminal. it should show there.
[10:39] <jva> chili5555: no i followed some instructions through the cli
[10:39] <Jowi> !ntfs-3g | Cryoniq
[10:39] <ubotu> Cryoniq: ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but please remember to keep backups of critical data. Installation instructions at http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710 (Dapper) and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009/ (Edgy)
[10:39] <Cryoniq> Yepp, it is NTFS..
[10:39] <chili5555> jva: is the wireless interface X-ed in System-Admin-Network?
[10:39] <Firefoxman> How do I set Windows as the default in the GRUB bootloader, Ubuntu is the current default.
[10:40] <graft> yargh... how does one get the DOM inspector in firefox 2?
[10:40] <Cryoniq> Hmm.. so if I mount it manually with Captive it would make a differense, or ntfs-3g :)
[10:40] <jva> chili5555: yes but in properties, it doesn't have the key or ssid
[10:40] <linuske> anyone knows when Ubuntu 7.04 are coming?
[10:40] <linuske> is coming*
[10:40] <foxiness> System>..>Sessions ,then add what you what need to achive on boot at login
[10:40] <Firefoxman> !fiesty | linuske
[10:40] <kuba> hi
[10:40] <ubotu> linuske: 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)
[10:41] <Jowi> linuske, I think april 19
[10:41] <kuba> jpjacobs: what about close the cdrom?::))))
[10:41] <chili5555> jva: before Properties, when u see wireless, wired, modem, is there an X next to Wireless?
[10:41] <Jowi> (someone correct me if i'm wrong)
[10:41] <zero_> hi
[10:41] <Firefoxman> How do I set Windows as the default in the GRUB bootloader, Ubuntu is the current default.
[10:41] <jva> chili5555: yes ath0
[10:41] <yohan> ethtool shows 100mbit but 1000 is also advertised, how do i change so  that its always 1000mbit instead?
[10:41] <bruenig> pdbogen, there is no perfect way to do it, I don't suppose you could get the server cd and do that, could you?
[10:41] <foxiness> jva: ^^^ by give it a name
[10:41] <zero_> i'm trying to install java 6.0 with netbeans 5.5
[10:42] <zero_> it's a .bin but when i try to run it appears a msg or permision denied
[10:42] <zero_> can i get some help?
[10:42] <jva> foxiness: i'm confused, how would i do this?
[10:42] <Jowi> yohan, depends if the device that is on the other side is 1000 capable.
[10:42] <yohan> Jowi: what?
[10:42] <yohan> I want to change my local speed
[10:42] <chili5555> jva: good! is "auto ath0" included in /etc/network/interfaces?
[10:42] <linuske> Jowi, that's cool :) I'm can't wait ^^
[10:42] <rgvguplb> zero, chmod u+x your file
[10:42] <jack_deltrino> I'm having problems with GDM. When I start my Ubuntu machine up, I get taken over to terminal 7 and a weird white box about 100 pixel height by 768 width shows up
[10:42] <zero_> ok
[10:42] <jack_deltrino> Anyone have this problem? If so, how do I fix it?
[10:42] <foxiness> zero_: there are a package on apt-get will help you achive that
[10:42] <Jowi> yohan, both your nic and the device you connect to (another computer, router, switch) must support it as well. should be used automatically.
[10:43] <bruenig> pdbogen, here is the thread where I did something similar, although I just listed the packages that were installed after the base installation, you may be able to use this script or modify it perhaps to achieve your purpose, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=393615
[10:43] <zero_> thx!!
[10:43] <yohan> Jowi: Really?
[10:43] <jack_deltrino> Also, unrelated, but why would lsusb not show devices that are connected to a computer?
[10:43] <yohan> oh k
[10:43] <jva> chili5555: yes
[10:43] <jva> auto ath0
[10:43] <jva> iface ath0 inet dhcp
[10:43] <jack_deltrino> The devices in question work on another Linux box.
[10:43] <jack_deltrino> I've run modprobe uhci-hcd and modprobe ehci-hcd
[10:44] <foxiness> zero_: apt-get install netbeans5.5 and it will ask you about this .....bin on the middel of install by ask you to put it on /tmp
[10:44] <tomy-dsd> http://rafb.net/p/YlHF8G87.html   i got this error
[10:44] <kbrooks> hello
[10:44] <DiKKy> using the ati proprietary driver i get a black screen when trying to enable my second monitor on both monitors, any clues what may be wrong?
[10:44] <chili5555> jva: it oughta start on boot, afaik
[10:44] <jack_deltrino> Anyone?
[10:44] <zero_> foxiness, im running the file i just had, and it's working pretty good
[10:44] <zero_> foxiness, thx anyway!!
[10:45] <rickyfingers_> DiKKy: you need to learn more about xinerama and twinview
[10:45] <kbrooks> I'm installing ubuntu o n my laptop computer. Any hints? (ps: it has no internet)
[10:45] <jva> chili5555: i had created another file that says enabled=0 earlier
[10:45] <jva> maybe that has smth to do with it?
[10:45] <Jowi> jack_deltrino, lsusb should show the usb device connected.
[10:45] <graft> does anyone know how to get the DOM inspector working? i installed 'firefox-dom-inspector' but it doesn't seem to work...
[10:45] <tomy-dsd> http://rafb.net/p/YlHF8G87.html   i got this error
[10:45] <chili5555> jva: tell me more...
[10:45] <foxiness> zero_: k go ahead
[10:45] <jack_deltrino> Jowi: Yes it should, but it doesn't.
[10:45] <Jowi> jack_deltrino, mine show both the controllers and usb mouse/keyboard + camera
[10:45] <twazz> Does anyone have experience with using a Creative MuVo v100 under Ubuntu? I'm having a problem
[10:45] <jack_deltrino> Jowi: And these devices show up with lsusb on another Linux box (that doesn't run ubuntu).
[10:45] <zero_> foxiness: thx
[10:45] <jack_deltrino> And on Windows both devices are recognized.
[10:46] <jva> chili5555:  /etc/default/wpasupplicant that file, i had followed another guide earlier
[10:46] <rickyfingers_> DiKKy: you're going to have to figure out how to get xinerama working with that, and then make some sacrifices, like no beryl, i think.
[10:46] <jva> which didn't work
[10:46] <jack_deltrino> I don't mind that another Linux distribution shows up with the correct output so much as I care that it works in Windows but not Ubuntu.
[10:46] <linuske> bye all! good night :)
[10:46] <Jowi> jack_deltrino, you might want to try a different kernel or load the correct drivers for the device.
[10:46] <Jowi> 'nght linuske
[10:46] <lazka> hi guys! i'm having problems with mounting my cdrom drive.. since all drives are sd* there are no cdrom devices.. :(
[10:46] <foxiness> kbrooks: you can play game on the middle of the install application>games ,have fun
[10:46] <jack_deltrino> Jowi: modprobe uhci-hcd && modprobe ehci-hcd
[10:46] <lazka> how are they called now?
[10:46] <jack_deltrino> Jowi: What more? That alone makes it work with udev on another Linux ox.
[10:46] <chili5555> jva: and if you change to "enabled=1" what happens?
[10:46] <jack_deltrino> box even.
[10:47] <jva> chili5555: i don't know
[10:47] <kbrooks> foxiness, that wasnt what i really wanted to know, but thanks.
[10:47] <jva> gonna restart and see
[10:47] <emet> !printer
[10:47] <ubotu> Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[10:47] <Jowi> jack_deltrino, don't know. what type of device is it?
[10:47] <chili5555> jva: lets try, inquiring minds wanna know.
[10:47] <foxiness> kbrooks: i mean there are no hint ;)
[10:47] <andys> HEELP! MOI!!
[10:47] <rickyfingers_> ikonia: what's up
[10:48] <jva> i have another problem, i have reconfigured my xorg-server and now everytime i restart the xorg server with ctrl-alt -backspace it freaks out displaying horizontal lines
[10:48] <jva> how can i fix this?
[10:48] <lazka> jva, no backup?
[10:48] <andys> Need guru!
[10:49] <Jowi> jack_deltrino, if it is a usbstorage device try to modprobe usbcore and usb-storage as well.
[10:49] <jva> lazka: yes, but the backup isn't right, it doesn't have the correct resolution
[10:49] <wo0lverine> re
[10:50] <andys> Any gurus here I  have serious problem!
[10:50] <stefg> jva: so there are obviously bad modelines in your xorg.conf. have you read !fixres already?
[10:50] <bruenig> !anyone | andys
[10:50] <ubotu> andys: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[10:50] <guru_dyrne> andys: state the problem somone here can likely help
[10:50] <lopa> how can i set up ssh?
[10:50] <lazka> omg, it's way too crowded here..
[10:50] <jva> !fixres
[10:50] <jack_deltrino> Jowi: Well, all the kernel modules are being loaded by Ubuntu apparently.
[10:50] <ubotu> 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
[10:51] <Jowi> lopa, install the package "ssh"
[10:51] <bruenig> !ssh
[10:51] <ubotu> SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[10:51] <jack_deltrino> Jowi: And on other distributions it just works with those two modules.
[10:51] <rickyfingers_> loba: just use synaptic to install shhd then edit /etc/ssh
[10:51] <rickyfingers_> loba: and pay attention to man ssh
[10:51] <Jowi> jack_deltrino, you never answerd my question. what type of device is it? which kernel are you running (uname -a)
[10:51] <gdiebel> uh: /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon seems to not be working. I type 'sudo /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon status' and get no output. same with  .. restart
[10:52] <andys> OK ok,  I cannot re-build my initramfs.   Its spews out 'cannot fork' about 20 times, prefixed with lvm, udev and all sorts.  Some thing like 'cannot hook'?
[10:52] <jack_deltrino> Jowi: I didn't say it was one device. I was saying none of the USB devices were working.
[10:52] <jack_deltrino> Jowi: It's 2.6.20. Feisty.
[10:52] <guto18> hello
[10:52] <Jowi> jack_deltrino, feisty is beta. go to #ubuntu+1
[10:53] <guto18> hello!!!!
[10:53] <test_> ciao
[10:54] <Jowi> jack_deltrino, sounds like a kernel driver problem but I'm not sure. feisty support is in #ubuntu+1
[10:54] <stefg> !feisty

[10:54] <leprasmurf> hello all, I'm trying to install libdvdread3 on my son's offline computer, can anyone point me in the direction of an offline install?
[10:55] <stefg> !dpkg
[10:55] <ubotu> dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.
[10:55] <andys> please kick bot
[10:56] <andys> preferably in balls
[10:56] <alex319> hello
[10:56] <stefg> leprasmurf: put the package on the box somewhere and then install with 'sudo dpkg- i libdvdread3.deb'
[10:56] <leprasmurf> so find the dpkg for the libdvdread3 and use dpkg?
[10:56] <alex319> iim trying to get warcraft to run a specific command
[10:56] <leprasmurf> kk, ty
[10:56] <alex319> but i dont know how too
[10:57] <stefg> leprasmurf: right
[10:57] <leprasmurf> stefg: tyvm
[10:57] <andys> I fudged up.  (or ubuntu did)  How do I move in my old kernel and initfs?
[10:57] <Jowi> leprasmurf, use apt-get with the "download" switch. then copy the .deb from /var/cache/apt/archives
[10:58] <lopa> mozila fire fox.. will not load web pages.. it was working 1 minute ago
[10:58] <Jowi> andys, unless you used the same name for the kernel, the old one should still be in /boot
[10:59] <leprasmurf> Jowi: thanks, but unfortunately my other linux server died, so I'm restricted to the windows method of getting:-)
[10:59] <lopa> any ideas?
[10:59] <asikes> ls
[10:59] <hamsta_> ls?
[10:59] <Jowi> leprasmurf, oh, that's more than I know of :)
[10:59] <hamsta_> w00tz0r
[10:59] <asikes> Don't mind me.
[10:59] <hamsta_> :P
[10:59] <hamsta_> nor me
[11:00] <Jowi> lopa, restart your router (if you have one)
[11:00] <andys> Right.  I have a corrupt initfs and I need to rebuild it, but my mkinitfs-tools is also corrupt what can I do?
[11:00] <chili5555> leprasmurf: search at packages.ubuntu.com under Edgy or Dapper or what u have, download, CDROM, voila!
[11:00] <lopa> everyting else works besides
[11:00] <lopa> search engines!
[11:00] <EADG> lopa: open
[11:00] <lopa> ?
[11:01] <EADG> lopa: open a terminal and try pinging a site.
[11:01] <lopa> other sites are working
[11:01] <Jowi> lopa, try "216.239.59.99" in the browser
[11:01] <Jowi> lopa, that ip should get you to google
[11:02] <Jowi> lopa, if that works you got a DNS issue
[11:02] <jva> what does sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart do?
[11:02] <Jowi> jva, what do you think it does?
[11:02] <chili5555> jva: restarts networking, apparently
[11:03] <Jowi> jva, most commands have logical names :)
[11:03] <jva> no
[11:03] <tomy-dsd> http://rafb.net/p/YlHF8G87.html   i got this error
[11:03] <jva> i mean what it does in essence
[11:03] <jva> like starts dhclient?
[11:03] <flodine> how long before feisty is released?
[11:04] <Taa5i> Hello.  Are there plans to ever include an official floppy disk installation method for Ubuntu please?  I've tried a number of the altenrate installation methods listed on the wiki and always gotten so frustrated taht I've just gone back to Debian.
[11:04] <Lsi> You could check the script and see, cat /etc/init.d/networking
[11:04] <Jowi> jva, it will deconfigure and reconfigure the network interfaces
[11:04] <jva> chili5555: i rm'ed that previous file
[11:04] <jva> and it didn't do anything
[11:04] <chili5555> jva: shuts down all network interfaces, restarts, if dhcp is called for in 'interfaces' it does dhclient
[11:04] <chili5555> jva: rats
[11:04] <stefg> Taa5i: what do you mean with 'floppy' ? :-)
[11:04] <HessiaNerd> hello
[11:04] <jva> Jowi: is it called everytime i reboot?
[11:05] <Jowi> jva, it should. see if you have a link for it in /etc/rc2.d
[11:05] <Taa5i> stefg, as opposed to requiring a cd drive to install it.  I have a laptop with no cd drive and nonbootable usb, the only method I can install from is floppy.
[11:06] <stefg> Taa5i: network interface?... you won't want a pile of 500 floppies....
[11:06] <payan> !cedega
[11:06] <ubotu> cedega is a project based on WINE, aimed at running Windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega
[11:06] <rickyfingers_> Taa5i: i think you need to explore options in the bios more
[11:06] <Jowi> jva, sorry, i meant /etc/rcS.d
[11:07] <Taa5i> rickyfingers, trust me, I know what it can and cannot do.
[11:07] <lopa> i get an error at the end the last error is : Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[11:07] <Taa5i> stefg, Yes it has a network interface, the debian installation method from floppy is just enough to get the rest downloaded from mirrors basically, would be lovely if Ubuntu had a similar thing.
[11:08] <stefg> Taa5i: ubuntu has that... read carefully through !install
[11:08] <Taa5i> !install
[11:08] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate
[11:08] <bruenig> yeah it has a netinstall called mini.iso
[11:08] <stefg> hint: it's called 'unofficial' ways
[11:08] <chuck_tx> anybody here got any idea why the installer would crash when it gets to the disk partitioning?
[11:09] <Taa5i> stefg, That's just it.. will they ever /officially/ support those?
[11:09] <stefg> no
[11:09] <stefg> the last computer with a floppy i had is 5 yeras gone now
[11:10] <lopa> that was the last error it gave me after running apt-get install openssh-server
[11:10] <lopa> Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[11:10] <Jowi> lopa, close synaptic and try again.
[11:10] <Cryoniq> !fstab
[11:10] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[11:10] <bruenig> they need to change that error, make it a bit more informative
[11:10] <lopa> why?
[11:11] <bruenig> lopa, you can't have two package managers open at once
[11:11] <asubedi> for some reason free says that I have a swap space of around 4Gb even though my swap partition is only 2Gb. I ubuntu using a different swap file instead of the swap partition?
[11:11] <Taa5i> stefg, That's really depressing. :/  I can't count the number of times in troubleshooting/installing/repairing a machine where the floppy drive was essential.  I was just trying to help a friend fix his the other day and all the utils that woulda worked required the floppy drive had hadn't installed.
[11:11] <Jowi> lopa, only one package manager can be used at once.
[11:11] <lopa> terminal and xchat are the two things i have open
[11:11] <lopa> ah ok
[11:11] <lopa> how do i close it please?
[11:12] <lopa> its not opened graphicly
[11:12] <sargosis> anyone here have a dual-screen setup?
[11:12] <stefg> Taa5i: but a floppy drive is considered obsolete nowadays.... would you ask for a 5 1/4 " installation mediaum for any OS today ? :-)
[11:12] <Jowi> night all
[11:12] <lopa> ?
[11:12] <zak_> hi all
[11:12] <johhdoesniper> hey
[11:13] <zak_> i found an article on the net talking about a new version of ubuntu
[11:13] <zak_> it s called ''pornubuntu?
[11:13] <zak_> !!!:)
[11:13] <johhdoesniper> lol
[11:13] <johhdoesniper> nice
[11:13] <DB42> anybody here has experience with ubuntu as guest os, and changing resolution to above 1024x768?
[11:13] <johhdoesniper> may i ask
[11:13] <TheMafia> does anyone know of a way to render and lpr print an html file from the command line?
[11:13] <johhdoesniper> what were u looking for at the time?
[11:13] <stefg> !language
[11:13] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[11:13] <johhdoesniper> nope
[11:13] <zak_> http://devloop.lyua.org/blog/index.php?2007/04/01/426-pornbuntu-la-distribution-linux-qui-vous-fait-du-bien
[11:13] <deftonesgirl> managed to install the fglrx for my mobility radeon 9600, now video game performance is great, but video playback is crap
[11:13] <zak_> its in french  but ...
[11:13] <zak_> it s worth reading
[11:14] <zak_> lol
[11:14] <Taa5i> stefg Not at all, but there are still a number of linuxes, particularly diagnostic/forensics sorts which run off of a floppy.  Debian isn't much smaller or than Ubuntu [particularly if usuing ubuntu-server] , so not officially supporting it for older machines seems a bit weird.
[11:14] <sargosis> there's no way that i can be thte only dual-screen setup around...
[11:15] <Geoffrey2> I am trying to get evolution set up so each email account has its own set of folders, rather than everything being dropped in one common inbox....ideas?
[11:15] <stefg> Taa5i: you need at least 128 MB to run any ubuntu-flavor. This means the machine can't be older than , say, 5 years. So nobody cares for floppy support anymore.
[11:16] <Taa5i> stefg Hm, my laptop has 128Mb RAM.  Is it worth even trying then?  I don't run any sort of wm/gui under Debian either, so it'd just be the server edition of Ubuntu.
[11:16] <eriksay1> anyone familiar with php5/pear on dapper drake?
[11:17] <ikonia> eriksay1: whats up
[11:17] <dyrne> Taa5i: ubuntu server then apt-get flux or something but im not sure what that would give you over debian
[11:17] <eriksay1> ikonia: via apt-get, i have php5 installed ... but i run pear on the command line and get "command not found"
[11:18] <DB42> Where is gnome's "Screen Resolution Properties" being read from ?
[11:18] <EADG> Hmm, i have an old Dell Inserion 3000 486Mhz laptop kick'n 'round somewhere, think Alternate would run on it?
[11:18] <Taa5i> dyrne, I'm interested in the newer kernel that Ubuntu runs, and its boot system, I forget the name of it, but it's a recent change.
[11:18] <stefg> Taa5i: xubuntu would run fine, fluxbuntu can be run in 64 MB (although this is not an official flavor). so 128 MB is fine if you just want a cli... but that misses ubuntu's point. May I suggest slackware? :-) :-)
[11:18] <ikonia> eriksay1: you need php-pear
[11:19] <eriksay1> ikonia: thanks
[11:19] <Taa5i> stefg, I've run a Debian console on it for a couple years for use as a typewriter, but the newer Ubuntu systemn seems to better support laptop hibernation and so forth.
[11:19] <dyrne> Taa5i: might consider going with feisty as it will be out soon anyway
[11:20] <Taa5i> dyrne, Nifty.. how soon is soon? ;)
[11:20] <dyrne> april 19th
[11:20] <graft> better support laptop hibernation, my eye
[11:21] <DB42> Where is gnome's "Screen Resolution Properties" being read from ?
[11:21] <dyrne> graft: shhh!
[11:22] <willzzz_tux> i need some with the fglrx driver
[11:22] <Pelo> DB42, xorg.conf
[11:22] <willzzz_tux> have it all installed but i get this error "Kernel Module version does *not* match driver."
[11:23] <abo> is ubuntu 7.04 Beta the lastest stable? or should I stick to edgy ?
[11:23] <Pelo> willzzz_tux,  try looking it up in the forum
[11:23] <Pelo> abo,  stick to edgy for a couple of more weeks
[11:24] <chili5555> abo: beta not equal stable
[11:24] <DB42> Pelo: i have 1680 x 1050 in my xorg.conf but it doesn't show up there, why is that ?
[11:24] <abo> chili5555, Pelo, ok cheers
[11:24] <chili5555> abo: working for you?
[11:24] <jack_deltrino> Feisty is absolutely awful from what I can tell from my experiences and the ones in #ubuntu+1
[11:24] <Pelo> DB42,  you might need to have multiple instances of it , one for each color dept
[11:24] <sacater> jack_deltrino: its not TOO bad
[11:24] <jack_deltrino> X doesn't work properly and/or Firefox fails to work properly and/or wireless doesn't work properly.
[11:24] <DB42> pelo: did that
[11:25] <talon223> it's really not all that bad
[11:25] <talon223> i've had compiz problems
[11:25] <Pelo> DB42,  syntax ?
[11:25] <dyrne> i had not one real problem in feisty and that was 3 months ago
[11:25] <talon223> but not a bad experience
[11:25] <DB42> i'm running the vmware driver
[11:25] <jack_deltrino> Compiz problems < hardware problems.
[11:25] <sacater> jack_deltrino: X fail, yes, firefox no, wifi, yes
[11:25] <Slick> hey guys
[11:25] <sacater> :D
[11:25] <jack_deltrino> sacater: 2/3 that's pretty bad. Those are the most serious too.
[11:25] <abo> chili5555, yeah apart form ATI acceleration... I managed to break fglrx a month ago, and couldn't figure out how to fix it...
[11:25] <Pelo> DB42, is vmware set to support this resolution ?
[11:25] <jack_deltrino> How are they going to make April 19, I don't know.
[11:25] <DB42> Pelo: for each depth, Modes "1680x1050" "1280x1024" "1024x768" etc.... (and it only shows me 1024x768 and less)
[11:25] <chili5555> Feisty works OK for me except NetworkMangler
[11:25] <abo> chili5555, missing googleearth and beryl
[11:25] <DB42> pelo: yes, i modifited the .vmx file with maxheight/maxwidth
[11:26] <RickJones> do ubuntu repositories have the google dev package ?
[11:26] <Pelo> DB42, I don't know then , v sync and h rez settings ?
[11:26] <Pelo> RickJones,  check in synaptic
[11:26] <DB42> how do i know which vsync/hsync params to put to vmware?
[11:26] <RickJones> sorry, the google earth*
[11:26] <chili5555> abo: i guess i aint brave enuf for Beryl, fglrx works fine and i aint feelin lucky
[11:26] <sacater> jack_deltrino: with difficulty :D.
[11:27] <Pelo> DB42,  no idea,  I am just trying to give you leads to look into,  try with the forum or with the lovely ppl at #vmware
[11:27] <abo> chili5555, does googleearth work fine for you?
[11:27] <DB42> they are all dead :)
[11:27] <DB42> nobody is talking / answering there
[11:27] <Pelo> RickJones,  I think you need to dl the source or a deb package from google
[11:27] <dyrne> DB42: your using player? any reason not to go with vmware server?
[11:27] <abo> chili5555, I don't know what I broke, fglrxinfo gives me : MESA !
[11:27] <DB42> i'm using vmware workstation 5.5
[11:27] <Crema10> when will Feisty come out? (final stable version)
[11:27] <Epic720Admin> Does anyone know how to make a 100% transparent terminal?
[11:27] <chili5555> abo: works fine for me

[11:29] <NBrepresent> also, can i resize the ntfs partition multiple times?
[11:29] <arke> aah, hehe
[11:29] <arke> thanks :)

[11:34] <jack_deltrino> annihilus: I believe you can choose raw AVI, et al, but by default I think it's MPEG.

[11:39] <ubotu> jjnickerson: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects

[11:40] <ton1> ya but non of them work ... lol .. they all say to use wine ... which i cant get to work ither ....lolz
[11:40] <jack_deltrino> jva: Then it doesn't matter, but given the choice, I'd opt for higher refresh rate.
[11:40] <gizmo_the_great1> Hi. How can I upgrade Firefox to Firefox 2 via Backports? What would the command line be? My Update Manager only ever updates the 1.2.X branch - it never 'notices' Firefox2
[11:40] <chatter> is there a channel for server administration under ubuntu
[11:40] <blackslash> My booting hdd got freebsd installed. If i format it to ext3, will i then have to install grub again?
[11:40] <gizmo_the_great1> tha should read 1.5.X branch
[11:41] <EADG> ton1: I'm looking at a post on ubuntu forums... succesful install with out wine.
[11:41] <SublimeNinja> how do i open an app in the terminal?
[11:42] <EADG> ... sorry can't paste link, not yet skilled enough in elinks.
[11:42] <runjun> when i go to install the 32 bit ubuntu it has that loading bar but on the last one it brings up a green line underneath the bar and stops loading
[11:42] <ssdd534> hi i recently installed server edition 6.10 and im wondering how i can search the repos or if somone can tell me the diffrent ircd's available?
[11:42] <EADG> ton1: www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=28378
[11:42] <chili5555> abo: joy?
[11:42] <ardchoille> ssdd534: apt-cache search appname
[11:42] <SlimeyPete> ssdd534: "apt-cache search <search condition goes here>"
[11:43] <ssdd534> thanks
[11:43] <SlimeyPete> not just appnames - it searches within descriptions too, in case you're not sure what app you're after
[11:43] <JoseBravo> Im getting this message trying to run quake but I receive this message: /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy
[11:43] <abo> chili5555, nop :(... and your xorg.conf screwed my keyboard setting... so I had to go back to my backup
[11:43] <ssdd534> that will be ok
[11:43] <JoseBravo> But I can play sounds using artsplay
[11:43] <ardchoille> ssdd534: And to see if something is installed or not: apt-cache policy appname
[11:43] <LadyNikon> How can I log into root via gdm?
[11:43] <abo> chili5555 I keep getting MESA in fglrxinfo ....
[11:44] <ardchoille> LadyNikon: You can't, use sudo
[11:44] <ssdd534> awsome thanks
[11:44] <ardchoille> !sudo | LadyNikon
[11:44] <ubotu> LadyNikon: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[11:44] <LadyNikon> ardchoille: there is no command to unlock it? i dont want to use sudo
[11:44] <SlimeyPete> LadyNikon: there's no root account by default. If you want one, do a "sudo passwd" in a terminal to set the root password.
[11:44] <DB42> what is "width required unsupported line pitch" ?
[11:44] <jack_deltrino> LadyNikon: Generally you don't. But if you must for whatever reason (and there really isn't a good reason), you might have to change the default /etc/pam.d/gdm file to work so that root can login.
[11:44] <abo> chili5555 and fgl_glxgears is throwing errors...
[11:44] <LadyNikon> jack_deltrino: so there is a way then.
[11:44] <LadyNikon> ok
[11:44] <chili5555> abo: i guess i would uninstall and reinstall the two fglrx pieces and do the init and overlay commands and see if it wakes up
[11:44] <ardchoille> LadyNikon: The root account is locked and it is not recommended to unlock it.
[11:45] <runjun> i ran the check cd program but it did the same thing
[11:45] <JoseBravo> Im getting this message trying to run quake but I receive this message: /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy. But I can play sounds using artsplay
[11:45] <jack_deltrino> LadyNikon: Just because there is a way doesn't mean you should use it, but I don't know your circumstances.
[11:45] <abo> chili5555 ok I'll try that now
[11:46] <jonZ> moi
[11:46] <LadyNikon> jack_deltrino: do you know what to put into that file to unlock root?
[11:46] <jva> i'm trying audacity but i'm recording and speaking but no voice seems to come through the mic
[11:46] <jva> what can i do?
[11:46] <SublimeNinja> I want to repartition my drive using qtpart but i dont want to unlock root to do it can i launch it using sudo in the terminal?
[11:46] <bashologist> Can anyone play this video? http://sports.sympatico.msn.ca/UFC?g=b3ec1fee-fdc8-4791-a929-3d306f7200a5

[11:46] <chili5555> jva: mic unmuted in alsaplayer?
[11:46] <abo> chili5555 the modules are linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-11-386 and xorg-driver-fglrx right?
[11:47] <gizmo_the_great1> Hi. How can I upgrade Firefox to Firefox 2 via Backports? Has it been backported yet?

[11:49] <jva> i just unmuted it in alsamixer
[11:49] <jva> but no changes
[11:49] <PriceChild> Crema10, any program that can print on linux can print to a pdf file
[11:49] <chili5555> abo: xserver-xorg-video-ati on my system, also
[11:49] <ablyss> Crema10: pretty sure because it can import doc files easy
[11:49] <pecisk> DB42: I usually get vertical and horizontal frequencies from specifications from Web for concrete model of monitor, then I input them in /etc/X11/xorg.conf or when doing dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg advanced configuration
[11:49] <Crema10> PriceChild, ablyss : awsome!
[11:49] <Crema10> thanks guys
[11:49] <ablyss> Crema10: look under export
[11:49] <coolness9> Anybody know of a easy install for Ubuntu like Wampserver ?, or would I need to install them seperately ?
[11:50] <Crema10> ablyss: ok!
[11:50] <mphill> is there any one click dvd copy software for linux?
[11:50] <bruenig> mphill, not one click, a series of clicks
[11:50] <EADG> bashologist: Site says you need Internet Explorer 6 view....
[11:50] <abo> chili5555, oh, synaptic is marking : linux-386 and linux-restricted-modules-386 for removal! that's too much, no?
[11:50] <mphill> bruenig, what software
[11:50] <bruenig> mphill, xdvdshrink, that isn't in the repos though
[11:50] <chili5555> abo; seems a bit scary, just try reinstall
[11:51] <DB42> pecisk: i managed to move to 1440x900 but the mouse click doesn't seem to happen in the correct place
[11:51] <zorglu_> jack_deltrino: i heard you think ubuntu is not going fast enought, well it is never fast enought, what about coming to help to make ubuntu progress faster ?
[11:51] <mphill> what about ripping/decrypting?
[11:51] <jack_deltrino> zorglu_: How about you take a look at REVU?
[11:51] <zorglu_> jack_deltrino: you can register now on launchpad.net
[11:51] <bruenig> mphill, right xdvdshrink does that
[11:51] <LadyNikon> !ntfs
[11:51] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[11:51] <chili5555> abo: back soon
[11:51] <jack_deltrino> zorglu_: .... I've already submitted some packages.
[11:51] <FrOstiE> !ntfs
[11:51] <zorglu_> jack_deltrino: it is free of charge
[11:51] <FrOstiE> grrrr
[11:51] <bruenig> mphill, or it doesn't decrypt, but it rips
[11:51] <bruenig> mphill, I mean it doesn't rip, but it decrypts
[11:52] <mphill> bruenig, thanks, i will try it
[11:52] <bruenig> mphill, you can use dvdrip to rip
[11:52] <bruenig> !info dvdrip
[11:52] <ubotu> dvdrip: perl front end for transcode. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:0.98.1-0.1ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 718 kB, installed size 2084 kB
[11:52] <LadyNikon> I manually mounted my ntfs partition but my normal user cant access it without "sudo" first
[11:52] <DB42> nm, i'll try to mess with it, thanks
[11:52] <LadyNikon> has anyone manually mounted their ntfs partition?
[11:52] <bruenig> LadyNikon, pastebin your /etc/fstab
[11:52] <bruenig> !paste | LadyNikon
[11:52] <ubotu> LadyNikon: 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)
[11:53] <aricz> I'll try one more time, I just installed Beryl.. I restarted, get to the login screen. Starts up, icons in place, correct resolution blablabla, then the beryl-icon comes into place, and uhm.. it goes 1-2secs the screen freezes.. all white, and biong, I'm in textmode, and it restarts again.. back to the login screen. So, what can I do?
[11:53] <bruenig> LadyNikon, oh you are manually mounting it? not through fstab?
[11:53] <LadyNikon> bruenig: yeah i did fstab as well hold on
[11:54] <graft> aricz: um, how did you install beryl?
[11:54] <bruenig> aricz, #ubuntu-effects
[11:55] <LadyNikon> bruenig: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14290/
[11:55] <aricz> graft: ahm.. just followed some instructions.. in zombiemode:) I took a chance it would work, but it didn't.. shame on me;p
[11:55] <DB42> arashf: 6.06 ?
[11:55] <bruenig> LadyNikon, and the problem is that other users can't read it?
[11:55] <LadyNikon> bruenig: yeah i cant read it unless i am sudo
[11:55] <DB42> aricz: did you install it on 6.06?
[11:55] <LadyNikon> there is only one user
[11:56] <LadyNikon> the user id you see is mine
[11:56] <aricz> DB42 : 6.10
[11:56] <DB42> ahhm nm
[11:56] <hubert999> is there a taskmanager like in windows xp?
[11:56] <graft> aricz: what did you follow?
[11:56] <ardchoille> hubert999: gnome-system-monitor ?
[11:56] <dager> hubert999: open up a terminal and type "top"
[11:57] <bruenig> LadyNikon, if you are the only user, why are you specifying uid?
[11:57] <aricz> graft : I don't remember the url.. just found a post on ubuntuforums.org, which linked to another site..
[11:57] <hubert999> no like a app monitor
[11:57] <LadyNikon> bruenig: becuase the other way didnt work either
[11:57] <LadyNikon> bruenig: so i tried that
[11:57] <hubert999> liek in windows ctr+alt+del and u can shutdown apps
[11:57] <aricz> graft : I cut'n'paste to terminal and hoped it would work out.. the way not to do it.. I know.. hehe
[11:57] <dager> hubert999: top gives you a table of processes, so it'll list whats running and allow you to stop it
[11:58] <graft> aricz: so... in other words, you have no idea what you did, or where you got it from
[11:58] <hubert999> is there a gui one?
[11:58] <graft> aricz: nice. nice.
[11:58] <aricz> Mhmmmmm..
[11:58] <Agrajag> hubert999: gnome-system-monitor if you're using gnome
[11:58] <bruenig> LadyNikon, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14291/
[11:58] <ardchoille> hubert999: open a term and type gnome-system-monitor
[11:58] <LadyNikon> bruenig: looking
[11:58] <Crema10> PriceChild, ablyss : holy crap, it worked!!! Now i got so many html and Word How-Tos to change into PDF, thanks again guys!
[11:59] <graft> aricz: um, do you have a ~/.beryl-managerrc file?
[11:59] <whaleofconfusion> you can't copy/paste between most applications in ubuntu
[11:59] <bruenig> aricz, graft, #ubuntu-effects
[11:59] <whaleofconfusion> wth is causing this, is there any fix?
[11:59] <bruenig> whaleofconfusion, you should be able to
[11:59] <hubert999> thanks
[11:59] <LadyNikon> bruenig: i will try it again andsee
[11:59] <ardchoille> whaleofconfusion: Highlight and middle-click
[12:00] <graft> bruenig: erm, shouldn't beryl be on-topic here by now?
[12:00] <bruenig> LadyNikon, just sud umount /dev/sda4 and then sudo mount -a to see if it works
[12:00] <bruenig> graft, because we have a channel dedicated just to that
[12:00] <graft> bruenig: sigh. well, i'm lazy
[12:00] <whaleofconfusion> oh actually the problem is just that emacs' kill buffer doesn't paste to other applications
[12:00] <whaleofconfusion> how can I make that happen, like it does on my Mac?
[12:01] <bruenig> graft, the channel is already packed, add beryl and compiz people to it...
