[12:01] <graft> bruenig: troo... this is pretty intense
[12:02] <bruenig> LadyNikon, I didn't notice, you had a space between ro and the user option, which would create some problems, here it is fixed, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14293/
[12:02] <NBrepresent> so, stefg said that using fuse to write to ntfs was experimental/dangerous. i'm wondering, is it totally ok then to mount my windows partition just to copy files from it? i'd rather copy files over than have to burn gigs of mp3s, etc.
[12:02] <buu> Anyone know how I can make this newish firefox execute a 'back' action when I hit backspace?
[12:02] <Drenesh> yeah, reading from ntfs is fine
[12:02] <Drenesh> writing to it is another story
[12:02] <payan> !sgd
[12:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sgd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:03] <LadyNikon> bruenig: yeah i took the space out
[12:03] <bruenig> LadyNikon, noticed something else, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14294/ (umask should be fmask)
[12:03] <LadyNikon> bruenig: stop pasting the paste bin i get it!
[12:03] <LadyNikon> heheh
[12:03] <whaleofconfusion> oh I also can't copy from my irc program
[12:03] <LadyNikon> bruenig: should i reboot?
[12:03] <LadyNikon> whaleofconfusion: laptop?
[12:04] <whaleofconfusion> KSirc
[12:04] <whaleofconfusion> no, it's a desktop
[12:04] <LadyNikon> whaleofconfusion: you may have to use both your left and right mouse buttons at the same time
[12:04] <whaleofconfusion> now how I can make this newish firefox execute a 'back' action when I hit backspace?
 yeah, reading from ntfs is fine
[12:04] <aricz> Ok, humm, anyone know which file gnome stores 'sessions' ?
[12:04] <bruenig> LadyNikon, sudo umount /dev/sda4 && sudo mount -a
[12:04] <whaleofconfusion> what the hell I just saw myself say 2 things I didn't say
[12:04] <livingdaylight> hi guys!
[12:05] <zemo> hey

[12:05] <zemo> why is  xfree85 flikering
[12:05] <zemo> 86*
[12:05] <zemo> it just kinda flickers
[12:05] <bruenig> why is xfree86 being used
[12:05] <buu> whaleofconfusion: I did.
[12:05] <graft> NBrepresent: um, reading from ntfs is pretty safe
[12:05] <zemo> BrandonB  ???
[12:05] <whaleofconfusion> that's weird buu it showed up as my name on my screen
[12:05] <zemo> bruenig ??

[12:06] <jarrett> Hello, does anyone know of a good guide to configure the Logitech Mx510 under Feisty?

[12:15] <vox754> your permanent changes to the path go in ".bashrc"
[12:15] <Drenesh> ninix: How much swap do you have allocated right now?
[12:15] <ardchoille> kuba: I put that line as a new line in my ~/.bashrc and it works after reboot.
[12:15] <jva> what's an app to see my mic settings?

[12:16] <ninix> Drenesh: brb i reformated my swap partition to linux-swap i reboot
[12:16] <TurtleBoots> does anyone know how to do an apt-get update without installing new kernel updates?
[12:17] <TurtleBoots> i.e. is there a way to update everything else apart from the kernel?
[12:17] <kuba> ardchoille: but i can not see a word "PATH" in .bashrc
[12:17] <valehru> Hey guys, im just reading up on totem, how can i interact with it remotely?  Remote operation mode to control a running Totem?
[12:17] <isaac__> turtle i thought the updater lets you check off upgrades
[12:17] <isaac__> er nevermind your using apt-get
[12:18] <Stormx2> valehru: From a seperate machine?
[12:18] <ardchoille> kuba: Just add this as a new line at the end of ~/.bashrc: PATH=$PATH:~/newpath
[12:18] <vox754> TurtleBoots, update doesn't upgrade, it just updates the list of repositories
[12:18] <valehru> Stormx2, through ssh

[12:18] <Stormx2> valehru: You can pass command line options to it
[12:19] <valehru> Stormx2, from a seperate machine yes....
[12:19] <Stormx2> xelnaga666: Who was that for?
[12:19] <xelnaga666> me
[12:19] <shawnr> can anyone help me get my wireless back please!?
[12:19] <jarrett> Anyone have a Logitech Mx510 guide that worked for them?
[12:19] <TurtleBoots> vox754 I want to install the latest Ubuntu updates - so what apt-get command should I use?
[12:19] <Stormx2> valehru: Well thats what I mean. Are you looking for a GUI on the other machine?
[12:19] <Stormx2> TurtleBoots: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade always brings you up-to-date
[12:19] <TurtleBoots> thats the 1!!!!
[12:20] <TurtleBoots> I couldn't remember
[12:20] <valehru> valehru, yeah, I was wondering if there was one already made....something like the clients that exist for mpd.....
[12:20] <Stormx2> xelnaga666: Please /msg ubotu instead.
[12:20] <shawnr> Is there anyway to "reconfigure" my network setup to default like a fresh install?
[12:20] <TurtleBoots> so will this upgrade the kernel as well?
[12:20] <xelnaga666> k sorry
[12:20] <TurtleBoots> if so can I some how avoid this>
[12:20] <TurtleBoots> ?
[12:20] <Stormx2> TurtleBoots: Kernel updates only fix security issues, afaik
[12:20] <Stormx2> TurtleBoots: Why do you need to keep your current kernel?
[12:21] <colbert> How do I move a directory? I want to move /desktop/images to /media/driveb/new
[12:21] <TurtleBoots> Stormx2 coz I have VPN etc etc set up with it and the last time the kernel upgraded it screwed it all up on me
[12:21] <flyte_> anyone here have FreeNX working?
[12:21] <Stormx2> colbert: So it becomes /media/driveb/new ?
[12:21] <TurtleBoots> Stormx2 so I was advised to avoid upgrading the kernel the next time
[12:21] <colbert> Stormx2: nope, so it goes INTO /media/driveb/new
[12:22] <TurtleBoots> Stormx2 get what I mean?
[12:22] <Stormx2> colbert: mv ~/Desktop/images/* /media/driveb/new
[12:22] <Askar> I need help printing on a networkprinter
[12:22] <sublimeninja> i need package "libxine-main1" but i cant install it
[12:22] <Stormx2> TurtleBoots You can hold back packages, including the kernel, using synaptic or aptitude
[12:23] <graft> Stormx2, colbert : that's wrong, eh
[12:23] <hubert999> hay i was trying to install beryl i put the code "wget http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org/root@lupine.me.uk.gpg -O - | sudo apt-key add -" into "/etc/apt/sources.list" But now the pakage instaler crashes and when ii try to edit"/etc/apt/sources.list' it now say permision denied
[12:23] <Stormx2> TurtleBoots: I think that is what you need
[12:23] <graft> colbert: do mv ~/Desktop/images /media/driveb/new
[12:23] <graft> colbert: what Stormx2 told you will move the contents of the directory, not the directory itself
[12:23] <colbert> graft: ahh ok i just did that thanks
[12:23] <TurtleBoots> Stormx2 - yeah I think you are correct. just need to find out what packages I need to hold off
[12:23] <Stormx2> Thats what he want.
[12:23] <Stormx2> graft: The way I read it, thats what he wants.
[12:23] <TomD> hubert999 sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:23] <nick__> what directory contains the linux source in ubuntu
[12:24] <colbert> Stormx2: sorry my bad i wanted the directory
[12:24] <Stormx2> Ah
[12:24] <Stormx2> In that case, read what graft put.
[12:24] <nick__> what directory contains the linux source in ubuntu
[12:24] <graft> nick__: you have to install the source package, but it's usually in /usr/src/linux-source-<version>
[12:24] <hubert999> ahh
[12:24] <nick__> thx
[12:24] <Stormx2> nick__: Don't repeat yourself. The kernel source... or?
[12:24] <brainiac8008> i have dapper and want to upgrade to edgy from a disc.  Can I do so by putting the Edgy Live CD into my drive and putting in a command in the terminal or do I have to get something called an Edgy Alternate Install CD, and if so, how do I get one?
[12:24] <kuba> ardchoille:thank you, it's working:)))
[12:25] <ardchoille> kuba: W00T! :)
[12:25] <kuba> ardchoille:::))))
[12:25] <Flannel> BrazUbuntu: you do need the alternate CD, and you can get it the same place you got the Desktop CD.
[12:25] <Flannel> brainiac8008:
[12:26] <Flannel> brainiac8008: but it's easier to forget the fancy menu based stuff, and just go here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/6.10/
[12:26] <s0nix> Drenesh: GParted me montre bien la partition linux-swap....... mais pas mon OS
[12:28] <TurtleBoots> !kernel
[12:28] <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
[12:28] <TurtleBoots> anyone know the upgrades options to turn off in Synaptic to avoid upgrading the kernel?
[12:29] <Flannel> TurtleBoots: remove the metapackage
[12:29] <LadyNikon> Can anyone else help me with my NTFS issue? I already corrected my fstab.. just got to get it to mount properly I get.. mount: special device /dev/disk/by-uuid/0FAFFE6303FAF196 does not exist  when trying mount -a
[12:29] <eck> TurtleBoots: read the man page for apt_preferences
[12:29] <TurtleBoots> Flannel - is that all!
[12:29] <brainiac8008> flannel, so i can get this iso for the alternate cd, burn it to a disc, and if I put it in to my CD drive it will upgrade to edgy?  i can not upgrade via update manager because it says that it could not fetch some stuff.  do you think it will have to fetch these things if i get the alternate cd?
[12:29] <Flannel> TurtleBoots: yeah.  That's what keeps the kernel updated.
[12:29] <buddha> how do you configure  it so Terminal isnt the default terminal?
[12:30] <LadyNikon> buddha: right click on the terminal icon
[12:30] <Flannel> brainiac8008: You'll have to add the CD as a repository, but yes.  Actually, what does it say it can't fetch?
[12:30] <LadyNikon> buddha: click "properties"
[12:30] <Arrick> hi all
[12:30] <TurtleBoots> Flannel - I mean I want to "not" update the kernel - just update everything else
[12:30] <graft> brainiac8008: probably easier to fix your fetch problem than to install from CD
[12:30] <aricz> Where do I get rid of 'beryl-manager' (Which I added to Sessions in Gnome) ? There must be a config-file somewhere.. anyone know?
[12:30] <TurtleBoots> s/update/upgrade
[12:30] <Flannel> TurtleBoots: right.  Remove the metapackage (like linux-image-generic)
[12:30] <LadyNikon> buddha: then change the path.
[12:30] <graft> aricz: pm me, eh
[12:30] <brainiac8008> hold on, will find the the error message...
[12:31] <TurtleBoots> Flannel - sound. thanks!
[12:31] <Flannel> TurtleBoots: that package (if you're in Edgy) depends on the latest version (linux-image-version.numbers.stuff-generic) and will always keep it udpated.  So, by removing the thing that depends on linux-image-new.kernel.version-generic, you don't upgrade to a new kernel
[12:31] <Arrick> whats the ubuntu 6.06.1 server terminal command that does the same as (windows) ipconfig /registerdns ?
[12:32] <TurtleBoots> thanks Flannel
[12:32] <Fedman> hmm where can I change the default apps for different file types in gnome
[12:32] <dragons11> hey does ne1 know what i can use as a replacement for itunes on linux?
[12:32] <aricz> graft, I just need to register first..
[12:32] <ardchoille> buddha: System -> Preferences -> Preferred Applications.. go to the System tab and change the entry in "Terminal Emulator"
[12:32] <graft> Arrick: you're stepping into a hornet's nest, here
[12:32] <f59phi> what do i have to download to make totem work?
[12:32] <Arrick> graft, no im not,
[12:32] <ardchoille> Fedman: Right click on the file, choose "Properties", go to the "Open With" tab and make changes.
[12:33] <aricz> graft, I get your messages, but you probably don't get mine.. hehe
[12:33] <Flannel> aricz: dnsdomainname is probably what you're looking for.
[12:33] <TomD> Fedman right click properties open with choose app
[12:33] <Flannel> Arrick:
[12:33] <Arrick> yes
[12:33] <graft> Arrick: well, depending on how stuf is configured, if-up and if-down <interface> do what you're asking
[12:33] <Fedman> ahhh thank you guys this was driving me insane
[12:33] <dragons11> hey does ne1 know what i can use as a replacement for itunes on linux?
[12:33] <TurtleBoots> whats the latest kernel release btw anyone?
[12:33] <lichen> "
[12:33] <buddha> Thanks ardchoille
[12:33] <Arrick> Flannel, will that register my ubuntu computer to the DNS server so I can use the name to access shares?
[12:33] <Fedman> 2.19?
[12:33] <lichen> OOPS
[12:34] <Askar> I need help printing on a networkprinter..its shared in winxp
[12:34] <ardchoille> buddha: You're welcome :)
[12:34] <graft> Arrick: depends on your dhcp client config, usually
[12:34] <graft> Arrick: what sort of shares are you trying to access?
[12:34] <Flannel> Arrick: eh?  Which DNS server?  I had no idea what ipconfi /registerdns did.  So, I just took a shot in the dark
[12:34] <selinuxium> is it possible to have spamassassin running with evolution on a standard non-server arrangement? ie home user?
[12:34] <brainiac8008> flannel, graft, it's starting installation.  error message should come up soon
[12:35] <Arrick> Flannel, in windows it registers the computer name in DNS so that the router will send trafic to the comptuername and not have to rely on a static IP
[12:35] <Flannel> brainiac8008: are you fully up to date in Dapper?
[12:35] <f59phi> what do i have to download to make totem play everything?
[12:36] <WaxyFresh> if apt-get wont remove a package because it has broken dependancies,whats the command to force it?
[12:36] <lichen> selinexium, you'd probably want to install some mta to just do local mail, have fetchmail fetch the mail from your mail account and inject it into the local mail spool, and then procmail and spamassassin to assassinate that spam!

[12:41] <hubert999> flannel: no it say no LSb modles are avaible
[12:41] <Flannel> hubert999: you need the -a
[12:41] <kkrusty> WaxyFresh: this is for kubuntu right?
[12:41] <WaxyFresh> kkrusty: no ubuntu
[12:41] <WaxyFresh> dapper
[12:41] <Flannel> brainiac8008: Oh.  The alt CD wouldn't help, since your problem is with third party repositories
[12:41] <Arrick> hey Flannel got a sec for some permissions help?
[12:41] <noise> hello how do i install ati radaeon 9800 grpahics drivers i need it because my computer does not work in 800x600 and when i use my new montior it loads in 800x600 and the screen is all messed up so i have to use my old one but it doesnt go in 1280x1024 and i need that really bad
[12:41] <Cacti1> Can somebody take a look at this.... Please... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14304/
[12:42] <Flannel> !ask | Arrick
[12:42] <ubotu> Arrick: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:42] <Flannel> brainiac8008: are you fully up to date with dapper?
[12:42] <hubert999> Flannel: yeah i did type that into the terminal, copyed & paste same result
[12:43] <brucedes> I've setup synaptic on my macbook using feisty fawn, and have tap clicking and right tap clicking working, but how do I get two finger scrolling working?
[12:43] <Arrick> I have a directory named /var/www/www.arrick.org that I would like to put the user arrick and www-data as co-owners of or somehow make it so they both can control all contents of that dir. how do I do this, www-data has to be an owner because of the database
[12:43] <brainiac8008> flannel, no, i've been trying to get libcairo2 and libcairo2-dev to install but i can't.
[12:43] <Flannel> hubert999: if that's true, then you've got larger issues thn just not being able to install beryl; like your install not being all there
[12:43] <Flannel> Arrick: use a group
[12:43] <qkslvrwolf> Every now and again, my firefox decides to lose all of its viewing window, and it won't come back until I reinstall firefox
[12:43] <qkslvrwolf> any ideas?
[12:44] <noise> please help me ubtunuteeeeees
[12:44] <hubert999> flannel: haha ok. um lets see, whats next?
[12:44] <aabrahao> hi, how start gnome in a fresh installatin of ubuntu server 6.10?
[12:44] <WaxyFresh> kkrusty: should work on both
[12:44] <eck> brucedes: i don't think that is possible
[12:44] <Stormx2> noise: Is it a resolution problem or worse?
[12:44] <Flannel> aabrahao: you'd need to install gnome first
[12:44] <Flannel> brainiac8008: what errors do they give?
[12:44] <brucedes> eck: why not? Ubuntu can clearly recognise two fingers tapping, so why not when you're scrolling?
[12:44] <leprasmurf> hello all, got mplayer installed, but when I try to open gmplayer I get an error that libmad.so.0 couldn't be found
[12:45] <brainiac8008> flannel, you want the error from terminal (apt-get)?
[12:45] <kkrusty> WaxyFresh: well i dont have anything like startupscreen but i have a boot-manager which manages services. In that theres a usplash utility. That seems relevent
[12:45] <sirkism> anyone know a good gnome ftp program?
[12:45] <Flannel> brainiac8008: yeah
[12:45] <qkslvrwolf> gftp
[12:45] <noise> well its been a problem for awhile bu ti think if i can install new video drivers i can probably fix it :) but i click places and no places tell me where to help and if i get new drivers it will help me plently :))
[12:45] <WaxyFresh> i have edubuntu installed but want to swithc to xubuntu,can someone throw some cammands at me
[12:45] <eck> i just don't think it has been implemented
[12:45] <qkslvrwolf> sirksism: gftp
[12:45] <Flannel> WaxyFresh: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[12:45] <sirkism> thank you
[12:45] <eck> (and it might be something that apple has a patent on, i don't believe anyone else has that feature)
[12:45] <sirkism> qkslvrwolf, thank you, installing it now
 sudo apt-get install gnome? Why install gnome instead of kde?
[12:46] <Flannel> aabrahao: Eh?  Because you asked to have gnome working.  And, it'd be ubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-desktop, for Gnome and KDE
[12:46] <qkslvrwolf> Every now and again, my firefox decides to lose all of its viewing window, and it won't come back until I reinstall firefox
[12:46] <qkslvrwolf> any ideas?
[12:46] <Flannel> !repeat | qkslvrwolf
[12:46] <ubotu> qkslvrwolf: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[12:46] <zugzub> I broke the updatre manager. tried installin virtual box. it crashed. now any time I run the update manager I get this error message  'E:The package virtualbox needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.'
[12:46] <noise> sudo apt-get vidoe drivers will that work
[12:46] <hubert999> flannel: how do i reinstall it?

[12:47] <Flannel> brucedes: that might help
[12:47] <brainiac8008> flannel, well, for apt-get upgrade, this:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14307/
[12:47] <noise> i will try
[12:47] <WaxyFresh> my repos are messed up,possible i think it might have to do with tor,how do i turn off tor?

[12:47] <brucedes> also, I'm trying to use cedega, but everytime I open a program with it, I get:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14306/
 what is the better, gnome or kde?
[12:47] <e6nian> Good morning! It 6:46 in china
[12:47] <Flannel> aabrahao: neither.  They're just different
[12:48] <cwillu> aabrahao: kde's a bit more configurable, gnome is a bit simpler
[12:48] <Cacti1> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14309/ Can somebody take a look at this and maybe push me in the right direction???
[12:48] <brainiac8008> flannel, and for apt-get update, this:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14310/
[12:48] <zugzub> you can read the whole problem here  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2413529#post2413529
[12:48] <brucedes> aabrahao: it's personal opinion, I prefer gnome, since I think KDE is bloated and ugly
[12:49] <Flannel> brainiac8008: That's some universe package.  Try removing it.  And that has nothing to do with cairo.  What makes you think youre having issues with cairo?
[12:49] <brucedes> I'm trying to use cedega, but everytime I open a program with it, I get:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14306/
[12:49] <cwillu> is there such a thing as a commandline livecd for ubuntu?
[12:49] <cwillu> (alt-cd repair doesn't count)
[12:49] <Flannel> cwillu: boot the regular CD, and ctrl-alt-f1
[12:50] <Flannel> cwillu: but no.  Ubuntu has no CLI only liveCD
[12:50] <Flannel> since, most people want liveCDs to be pretty ;)
[12:50] <ardchoille> cwillu: Yes. http://www.sysresccd.org
[12:50] <cwillu> Flannel: is there an easy way to make the gui not boot?  (i.e., like booting into single usermode?)
[12:50] <FlimFlamMan> hello.  can someone tell me which version of subversion will be in feisty?
[12:50] <Flannel> !info subversion feisty
[12:50] <ubotu> subversion: Advanced version control system. In component main, is optional. Version 1.4.3dfsg1-1ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 234 kB, installed size 3392 kB
[12:50] <FlimFlamMan> hey cool thanks
[12:50] <jhornick> keymaps question
[12:51] <cwillu> Flannel: looks like this will work though, guess I shouldn't be picky :)
[12:51] <aabrahao> and Can I get gnome and kde installed? When use startx what will be started?
[12:51] <Flannel> cwillu: there are CLI-only liveCDs out there.  They just won't be Ubuntu CDs
[12:51] <cwillu> Flannel: I'm too loyal :p
[12:51] <jhornick> anyone know what file to replace with a keymap for it to be loaded on boot? boottime.keymap.g isnt it
[12:51] <cwillu> but I like the udev and upstart support, just easier this way
[12:51] <Cacti1> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14309/ Can somebody have a look at this and push me in the right direction???
[12:51] <cwillu> thanks

[12:52] <sizzam> whats the command to see what kind of monitor i have/
[12:52] <sizzam> ?
[12:52] <brainiac8008> flannel, if you look at the pastebin link for apt-get upgrade, it mentions that it skips over doing libcairo2 and libcairo2-dev, and i've tried to remove mldonkey-server, and i get this:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14311/
[12:53] <FlimFlamMan> is it possible to install subversion 1.4 on dapper?
[12:53] <cwillu> aabrahao: not dead sure which startx would start;  you can install both at the same time, both gdm and kdm support selecting which one you want to log in to
[12:53] <dimas__> i am trying to enter a Skype chat room and saids "skype is not a register protocol" what should i do?

[12:54] <Flannel> brainiac8008: ah, right.  Uh, do a apt-cache policy libcairo2  which repository is it coming from?
[12:54] <Epic720Admin> ?
[12:54] <cwillu> aabrahao: although you tend to get quite a bit of overlap in the menu's (gnome apps showing up in kde menu's when you'd probably prefer to use the kde equiv, etc)

[12:57] <Flannel> brainiac8008: right.  that issue wih libcairo is because of the beryl repositories.  It's seeing the new versions (in beryl repos), but keeping you at the dapper oen (with the *** next to it)

[01:10] <PriceChild> aabrahao, the ./ tells bash to look in the current directory instead of your PATH

[01:17] <mzracer360> Is there any way to automatically set chmod permissions of folders when they are created
[01:18] <ardchoille> mzracer360: Yes, man mkdir and look for -m or --mode options
[01:19] <Cacti1> When I do an ifconfig -a it tells me that my eth1 is using Interupt 169... For sure that is wrong hey... so how can I change that???
[01:19] <vbabiy> hey what should i use ubuntu over fedora core 6
[01:19] <vox754> !aptitude
[01:19] <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
[01:20] <ardchoille> vbabiy: Updates are faster, repos are larger, it uses APT and I have found it to be more stable in the long run.
[01:21] <vbabiy> i have benn thinking about it for some time no
[01:21] <vbabiy> now
[01:21] <WaxyFresh> !java
[01:21] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[01:22] <aabrahao> when installing the vmware tools, the process asked to the location of directory  of C header. Any tip?
[01:23] <Longinius> Is this the right place for complete newbies to Ubuntu?
[01:23] <ZeroZiat> Same question, is this the reight place for complete newbies to Ubuntu?
[01:23] <ardchoille> Longinius: You're in the right channel :)
[01:23] <ZeroZiat> Okay, that answered it for me.
[01:23] <dustpyle_x2> welcome to #ubuntu
[01:23] <Longinius> Just a warning...you have your work cut out for you. :)
[01:23] <dustpyle_x2> the land of newbies.
[01:24] <dustpyle_x2> Ya, linux is... unique
[01:24] <ZeroZiat> Hahahah. I've got a problem with Feisty.
[01:24] <ZeroZiat> dustpyle_x2: Yes it is.
[01:24] <Longinius> I've got it up and running, that is more than I expected in a day.
[01:24] <Longinius> But now I wonder if I should have, or did...install it as a server.
[01:24] <Longinius> How do I tell?
[01:24] <ZeroZiat> Dpends on what version you DLed.
[01:25] <ZeroZiat> =O
[01:25] <ZeroZiat> I am having probless with the wireless thingy.
[01:25] <ZeroZiat> I mean, uhhh, cannot connect to internets.
[01:25] <Longinius> 6.06
[01:25] <ardchoille> Longinius: Are you in the gnome desktop?
[01:25] <dustpyle_x2> Ya, I'm not entirely sure but I think the only difference between desktop and server versions are the packets included out of the box
[01:25] <PriceChild> ZeroZiat, feisty in #ubuntu+1
[01:25] <ZeroZiat> Oh, yeah.
[01:26] <Longinius> I believe so, ardchoille.
[01:26] <dustpyle_x2> packages*
[01:26] <ZeroZiat> Forgot about that, read it on the Ubuntu wiki yesterday.
[01:26] <dustpyle_x2> not packets
[01:26] <Cacti1> When I do an ifconfig -a it tells me that my eth1 is using Interupt 169... For sure that is wrong hey... so how can I change that???
[01:26] <ardchoille> Longinius: You got panels at the bottom and top of the screen and a mouse cursor?
[01:26] <theblue> Is GNU Cash comparable to Quicken 2007?
[01:26] <Longinius> ardchoille:  Yes, I do.
[01:27] <ardchoille> Longinius: Sounds like you are on the desktop version of Ubuntu Dapper Drake (6.06.1 LTS)
[01:28] <cwillu> Cacti1: interrupt?
[01:28] <cwillu> oh, nvm
[01:28] <Cacti1> cwillu: irq
[01:29] <Longinius> I sorta figured.  Is there a reason files saved on a flashdrive (in Windohs) won't copy here?
[01:29] <RyanRyan52> I want to start making gif animations, does anybody have any software recommendations?
[01:31] <lastent>   supercollider: Depends: libjack0.80.0-0 (>= 0.98.1) which is a virtual package.
[01:31] <lastent> what can i do
[01:31] <{E|fo}> RyanRyan52: what about gimp
[01:31] <knapp> Does Rhythmbox seriously not have an Equalizer?
[01:31] <lastent>  have libjack0.100.0-0  installed
[01:32] <{E|fo}> RyanRyan52: use layers and then make it an animated gif
[01:32] <RyanRyan52> can gimp make animations?
[01:32] <RyanRyan52> ok thanks
[01:32] <{E|fo}> RyanRyan52: certainly
[01:32] <mjr> RyanRyan52, gif animations at least
[01:32] <RyanRyan52> ok
[01:32] <eauxnguyen> no thanks or anything from ryan heh
[01:33] <{E|fo}> eauxnguyen: yep...
[01:33] <tbuss> can someone tell me how to share a file located on a external hdd.
[01:33] <eauxnguyen> was just gonna try to point him to a good tut for gimp I had found ah well
[01:33] <caustic> I am having some screen resolution problems. I cannot adjust my screen res past 1024 x 768.  I have a ATI x1300 vid card.  I have fglrx drivers installed.  I tried resetting xorg.conf with fglrx drivers, and manually adding resolutions.  Still doesn't work.  Suggestions?
[01:34] <tbuss> is it possible to use samba to share files stores on an external hdd
[01:34] <{E|fo}> eauxnguyen: pass it anyway, I might find it useful for my wife
[01:35] <cwillu> caustic: comment out any frequency lines in xorg, it'll make it autodetect the monitor each time it comes up:  I've had that issue
[01:35] <eauxnguyen> will do lemme go dig it up
[01:35] <{E|fo}> eauxnguyen: thanks in advance :-)
[01:35] <cwillu> tbuss: samba can share anything that can be mounted in the file system
[01:35] <cwillu> it doesn't care what it actually is
[01:36] <MLimburg> is there a gnome equivalent to klogview ??
[01:36] <cwillu> MLimburg: yep, just can't remember the name right now
[01:36] <eauxnguyen> {E|fo}: http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Simple_Animations/
[01:37] <tbuss> cwillu: I've mounted my external hdd and installed ntfs3g, I can read and write files but I cant share them. I tried sharing a file located on the internal hdd and everything worked?
[01:37] <caustic> cwillu, not to sound like a complete idiot, but do you mean stuff like the HorizSync VertRefresh info?
[01:37] <ardchoille> MLimburg: gnome-system-log  ?
[01:37] <cwillu> caustic: yep
[01:37] <eauxnguyen>  {E|fo}: thought I had another but not seeing it..
[01:37] <MLimburg> i'm going to write a python plugin for xchat that shows all channels in one small screen .. but for now, i'll just tail all my logs :P
[01:37] <cwillu> just comment them out, and restart x, it should work (assuming that x misdetected your monitor, and thought your monitor didn't support those resolutions)
[01:37] <HairyDude> anyone managed to get sound working in dosbox?
[01:38] <{E|fo}> eauxnguyen: It's ok. bookmarked!
[01:38] <atarinox> any reccommendations for a light torrent client?
[01:38] <ardchoille> MLimburg: Yo might also be interested in MultiTail: http://www.vanheusden.com/multitail/
[01:38] <ardchoille> !info multitail
[01:38] <ubotu> multitail: view multiple logfiles windowed on console. In component universe, is optional. Version 4.0.6-1 (edgy), package size 96 kB, installed size 272 kB
[01:38] <eauxnguyen> caustic: does fglrxinfo show you loading the right driver?
[01:38] <MLimburg> hmm
[01:38] <ardchoille> Yay! it's in the repos
[01:38] <MLimburg> sounds like a plan
[01:39] <MLimburg> console .. so i can transparent it and throw it in the background
[01:39] <tbuss> cwillu: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14112/ if you have time.
[01:39] <MLimburg> :)
[01:39] <cwillu> one sec
[01:39] <MLimburg> thanks man
[01:39] <ardchoille> Yeah
[01:39] <ardchoille> You're welcome :)
[01:39] <ardchoille> MLimburg: screen ;)
[01:39] <robbie_crash> From a terminal if I run a program, even if I use the & option at the end, I cannot close the terminal window without killing the program, how do I get around this?
[01:39] <cwillu> tbuss: does it work if you restart samba after plugging it in?
[01:40] <eck> atarinox: rtorrent of course
[01:40] <chuck_tx> Anyone know where ubuntu gets its screen reolution choices from?
[01:40] <cwillu> tbuss:  and make sure that the drive is readable by the user you're accessing it with
[01:40] <robbie_crash> chuck_tx: xorg.conf
[01:40] <eauxnguyen> cwillu: xorg.conf
[01:40] <ardchoille> chuck_tx: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:40] <eauxnguyen> heh
[01:40] <chuck_tx> its only giving me the option from 8x6 even though X is set up to use 1024x768
[01:40] <cwillu> eauxnguyen: was that some sort of link?  :p
[01:41] <tbuss> cwillu: I can I test if I can read the file across the network If I can't enable it to be shared?
[01:41] <ardchoille> !fixres | chuck_tx
[01:41] <ubotu> chuck_tx: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[01:41] <Jim1804> evening all....
[01:41] <caustic> cwillu, ok, tried it.  came up and had 2048x1536.  still only 1024x768 after that.
[01:41] <cwillu> tbuss: <parse error> in line ""I can I test if I can read the file across the network If I can't enable it to be shared?""
[01:41] <eauxnguyen> !usb
[01:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about usb - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:42] <aabrahao> when try to install vmware with sudo vmware-install.pl the command not found appears, Im in the same directory of the installarion program
[01:42] <cwillu> caustic: so you got 2048x1536, or no?
[01:42] <francisco> noooooooo
[01:42] <caustic> yeah
[01:42] <chuck_tx> In xorg.conf all the bit depths have up to 1024x768 as an option
[01:42] <caustic> but only one monitor
[01:42] <cwillu> caustic: on sec
[01:42] <caustic> I think I may have messed up the dual monitor
[01:42] <francisco> nooooooo
[01:42] <tbuss> cwillu: How can I test if I can read the file across the network If I can't enable it to be shared?
[01:43] <cwillu> caustic: is the drive plugged in right now?
[01:43] <francisco> spanis please
[01:43] <Jim1804> Let me preface my question: yes, I've read the wikis. Yes, I've read the Ubuntu documentation and the restricted formats page - the problem is I don't have internet yet on my Ubuntu machine, and I can't figure out how to install media codecs for mp3 and wma for rhythmbox, or even what to download - I
[01:43] <francisco> no speak englis
[01:43] <caustic> drive?
[01:43] <chuck_tx> ardchoille: fixres is just the X recinfiguration isn't it?
[01:43] <Jim1804> I downloaded what I thought I needed, and I keep getting a "dependency not satisfied error" help please!
[01:43] <Jim1804> < one very frustrated newbie..
[01:43] <tbuss> cwillu: Never mind, I'm not very good at describing the problem, thanks for your help.
[01:43] <ardchoille> chuck_tx: Yes, but it allows you to specify resolutions. I thought that was your question.
[01:44] <cwillu> tbuss: wait!  I think it's just the drive isn't conencted when samba comes up, try restarting samba right now, and see if it'll share it
[01:44] <eauxnguyen> Hey Paco check out #ubuntu-es in freenode (irc.freenode.net)
[01:44] <chuck_tx> Nowhere in xorg.conf does it seem to be held down to 8x6 but that's all that's available in screen resolution preferences
[01:44] <eck> Jim1804: look up the dependencies of the package you want to install (on another computer, on on packages.ubuntu.com) and install them first
[01:44] <tropicana> hello
[01:44] <tropicana> a little help?
[01:44] <ardchoille> !ask | tropicana
[01:44] <ubotu> tropicana: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:45] <tropicana> I can't seem to log in with my admin account
[01:45] <chuck_tx> any ideas on how to change the res manually?
[01:45] <tropicana> it shows the desktop brieflyt
[01:45] <tropicana> then restarts
[01:45] <eauxnguyen> or fransisco: #ubuntu-es in freenode (irc.freenode.net)
[01:45] <eck> tropicana: have you looked at ~/.xsession-errors yet?
[01:45] <tropicana> where is that?
[01:45] <matze> can somebody tell me how to reinstall ubuntu audio-drivers?
[01:45] <eck> that is where it is
[01:45] <tropicana> oh
[01:45] <Jim1804> eck hi....i started doing that, but i keep getting more and more dependencies required. How do I figure out what all I'll need? Is it that whole list that pops up under "related software?"
[01:46] <tropicana> let me look
[01:46] <ardchoille> chuck_tx: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg   and then restart x: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[01:46] <matze> i deleted them with high definition audio driver setup. -.-
[01:46] <eauxnguyen> I can't get my USB controller to work on 6.10 on x86 hardware..should be a sis 7001 controller.
[01:46] <eauxnguyen> so nuttin usb works :(
[01:46] <chuck_tx> ardchoille: When I do that I always end up getting a no screen error and X won't start.
[01:47] <eck> Jim1804: i think if you use apt-cache depends you can get a list of all the dependencies
[01:47] <tropicana> eck, i dont have a /,xsession-errors folder
[01:47] <AngryElf> Is there a way to add a link to a folder to the Places Menu?
[01:47] <ardchoille> chuck_tx: Have you installed video drivers for nvidia/ati/other?
[01:47] <eck> tropicana: no, the file name is ~/.xsession-errors (and it is not a folder)
[01:48] <chuck_tx> no this is actually still on the Live CD
[01:48] <cwillu> AngryElf: I think the only way to do it is to go to an open or save dialog, go to the folder you want to add, and hit the [+]  button
[01:48] <cwillu> AngryElf: silly, I know :)
[01:48] <chuck_tx> I;m trying to get it to work there 1st
[01:48] <Jim1804> eck - I'm obviously used to Windows, so sorry if this is a dumb question. Isn't there anywhere I can download a simple installation file that will install it all with one click?
[01:48] <tropicana> eck, where is it located?
[01:48] <Adam__> anybody wanna help me with ubuntu in a pm?
[01:48] <eck> tropicana: it is located at ~/.xsession-errors (i.e. that _is_ the file name)
[01:48] <cwillu> Jim1804: theoretically, that's a deb:  what you're running into is like a windows program that needs a vb runtime installed as well
[01:48] <AngryElf> cwillu, at least it works :)
[01:48] <chuck_tx> Jim1804: It's not a dumb question but the answer is usually no!
[01:48] <megaqwerty> network-manager-gnome is only showing options for connecting to a WEP network, even though my network is WPA. Ideas?
[01:48] <eck> tropicana: cat ~/.xsession-errors
[01:49] <cwillu> Jim1804: no internet access on that machine you said?
[01:49] <tropicana> ok
[01:49] <tropicana> got it
[01:49] <Jim1804> chuck..thanks
[01:49] <cwillu> Jim1804: sorry if you've already answered this, are you running edgy or fiesty?
[01:49] <Jim1804> cwillu not on that machine, but I've been carting files over on a flash drive..
[01:49] <Jim1804> cwillu...edgy
[01:49] <tropicana> eck, now wat?
[01:49] <cwillu> Jim1804: k, one sec
[01:49] <eauxnguyen> chuck_tx: what do you get on the error log when X fails?
[01:49] <eck> tropicana: now figure out what seems to be the problem
[01:49] <Jim1804> chuck - that's what I was afraid of....but wouldn't that make sense?
[01:50] <eck> Jim1804: I would just put them all in one direcotry and run something like 'sudo dpkg -i *.deb'
[01:50] <tropicana> eck, i dont really understand it tells me
[01:50] <cwillu> Jim1804: what packages have you been installing?
[01:50] <megaqwerty> can anyone help with my above problem?
[01:50] <cwillu> or trying to at least?
[01:50] <Jim1804> brb..sorry
[01:50] <eck> tropicana: if you want you can pastebin it and i'll give it a look
[01:50] <cwillu> np
[01:50] <tropicana> eck, ok
[01:50] <chuck_tx> Jim1804: heh alot of stuff in Linux doesn't make sense especially at first, even then some of it still only makes sense to developers
[01:51] <makuseru> hi, i was intalling ububtu on a laptop frmo the alternate insatall disk, and during install it got hung at "choose and install software" so i told it to skip and now when i boot up i just get a terminal and startx does nothing, what can i do to fix this?

[01:56] <makuseru> hi, i was intalling ububtu on a laptop frmo the alternate insatall disk, and during install it got hung at "choose and install software" so i told it to skip and now when i boot up i just get a terminal and startx does nothing, what can i do to fix this?
[01:56] <chuck_tx> robbie_crash: I only get 8x6
[01:57] <Jim1804> cwillu - i thought about using easy ubuntu to download them via the live cd, and then transfer them over, but i wasn't sure exactly what i was lookig for..
[01:57] <robbie_crash> I dunno about that then chuck_tx, with the live cd there's some limitations.
[01:57] <robbie_crash> I couldn't get proper refresh rates with it, but the installed works fine
[01:57] <eck> Jim1804: apt-cache depends some_package | grep Depends | cut -d' ' -f 3
[01:57] <_JECKEL_> how do I get wireless to work in ubuntu?
[01:57] <eck> that will giveyou all the packages you need
[01:57] <kkrusty> robbie_crash: how about just start X? ctrl + Alt + backspace?
[01:57] <Jim1804> cwillu....i will give that plugin a shot.
[01:57] <chuck_tx> robbie_crash: Well right now the installer is crashing on me
[01:57] <kkrusty> correction. restart
[01:58] <cwillu> Jim1804: that's the one that provides mp3 and a bunch of other stuff, I don't think it depends on anything else
[01:58] <romuloubuntu> hi
[01:58] <cwillu> major at least
 Does it show up in your list of network devices?
[01:58] <Jim1804> eck....let me give that a shot as well...
[01:58] <cwillu> Jim1804: it _might_ be a slightly different version in edgy though
[01:58] <robbie_crash> crashing how?
[01:58] <cwillu> !gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
[01:58] <eck> i think it will be _everything_though, not just the additional things you need installed
[01:58] <Jim1804> cwillu...it doesn't matter if I download that file from the ubuntu site or from packages.debian.org, right?
[01:58] <blackslash> My booting hdd got freebsd installed. If i format it to ext3, will i then have to install grub again?
[01:58] <colbert> I want to extract wallpapers.tar.bz2 to /media/driveb, how do I do this ??
[01:58] <romuloubuntu> I would like to ask for a little help. I want to install ubuntu, but I dnot know if I wait for the next version, use the beta ou install the "old" version
[01:58] <colbert> i mean from command line
[01:58] <robbie_crash> kkrusty, that should work too
[01:58] <kbrooks> Question...
[01:59] <cwillu> Jim1804: better off using ubuntu's, there's no guarentee of binary compatibiltiy between ubuntu and debian (even though it usually works)
[01:59] <Jordan_U> Jim1804, Debian binary packages do not work in Ubuntu
[01:59] <Jim1804> cwillu...got ya...so I should get it through the packages.ubuntu.com
[01:59] <Jim1804> Jordan...thanks.
[01:59] <cwillu> Jim1804: plus there may be a bunch of different dependencies with debian
[01:59] <chuck_tx> robbie_crash: when it gets to disk partitioning it crashes & X restarts
[01:59] <robbie_crash> are you running off a scsi or sata drive?
[01:59] <kbrooks> I have a **disconnected** laptop with everything uninstalled. I want to install Ubuntu on it. I'm wondering if I still need windows on it or not, since it's disconnected
[02:00] <eck> Jim1804: in the future, you are better off just connecting the computer to the internet for a short time if you can
[02:00] <chuck_tx> robbie_crash: no ide
[02:00] <Jim1804> cwillu...that might be my problem. I was mixing debian and ubuntu packages...since Ubuntu is based off debian (right?) I assumed they would all work..
[02:00] <blackslash> My booting hdd got freebsd installed. If i format it to ext3, will i then have to install grub again?
[02:00] <nalioth> kbrooks: you do not
[02:00] <Jordan_U> kbrooks, Disconnected from what?
[02:00] <cwillu> Jim1804: yep;  they often will, but ubuntu has different dependencies, so anything system'ish will often require a bunch of different stuff
[02:00] <robbie_crash> weird
[02:00] <robbie_crash> chuck_tx: 6.1?
[02:01] <selby> hey?
[02:01] <kbrooks> Jordan_U, the Internet
[02:01] <selby> anyone here who could help me with a problem?
[02:01] <Jordan_U> BlackMad, I believe so as the menu.lst would be on the UFS partition
[02:01] <selby> my keyboard stopped working in my profile
[02:01] <cwillu> !ask
[02:01] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:01] <BlackMad> xD
[02:01] <Jim1804> eck...the problem is I only have wireless at home (well, there's obviously a router, but it's in another room), and I don't have the usb wireless working yet
[02:01] <BlackMad> hi Jordan_U
[02:01] <chuck_tx> robbie_crash: yeah
[02:01] <Jordan_U> BlackMad, hi
[02:01] <kbrooks> Jordan_U, no phone nearby, phone line blocked by computer desk, uhm and no extra ethernet wire
[02:01] <selby> okay well
[02:01] <Epic720Admin> how do i release a static IP address and regain DHCP?
[02:01] <selby> my keyboard, both wireless USB, and built into the laptop, aren't working.
[02:02] <selby> IT's not a hardware issue obviously.
[02:02] <selby> But somethign profile realated.
[02:02] <cwillu> Epic720Admin: single shot method is to run sudo dhclient eth0
[02:02] <exs> does anyone use bzr or bazaar?.. I've registered on a particular group and I have the updated files, but I am not sure exactly how to do this correctly. Thanks
[02:02] <Jordan_U> Epic720Admin, sudo dhclient <interface>
[02:02] <kbrooks> nalioth, so I can just wipe windows off. good. thanks ;-)
[02:02] <chuck_tx> ? How beta is the beta of 7.04 right now?
[02:02] <selby> I read on the forums that theres something in .gconf that could be the problem.
[02:02] <cwillu> Epic720Admin: that's only do it one time though:  /etc/network/interfaces, change static to dhcp, or just use the gui otherwise
[02:02] <romuloubuntu> I have the same problem as chuck_tx
[02:02] <selby> anyone have any help to offer on this?
[02:02] <Jim1804> would it be possible to "install" what i need via the live cd and then transfer it via flash drive to my other machine?
[02:02] <cwillu> chuck_tx: -> #ubuntu+1
[02:02] <Epic720Admin> cwillu, thanks
[02:03] <robbie_crash> That's weird chuck_tx, I dunno what to tell you. I'm pretty new to all this stuff too
[02:03] <eck> Jim1804: well I would work on getting wireless working first -- package management in linux is really designed around the assumption that you have network access
[02:03] <Jordan_U> selby, If you don't know how to do a chroot I wouldn't use it as your main system
[02:03] <romuloubuntu> I want to know if I should install the beta of 7.04 or brezzy
[02:03] <selby> what?
[02:03] <cwillu> Jim1804: yep, everything that gets installed is cached in /var/cache/apt, can probably just copy the whole mess
[02:03] <Jordan_U> romuloubuntu, Neither, install Dapper or Edgy, breezy is old :)
[02:03] <romuloubuntu> sorry, I meant edgy
[02:03] <Jim1804> eck....I agree that would be easiest...I chose media codecs first because I thought it would be simple..lol
[02:04] <selby> romloubuntu, Dapper has LTS so it depends what you need.
[02:04] <romuloubuntu> I mean, I will upgrade to 7.04 when it comes out
[02:04] <romuloubuntu> Will I have trouble if I install the beta, is it worth the download?
[02:04] <selby> Jordan U, what did you say? I didn't quite understand that.
[02:04] <cwillu> romuloubuntu: probably not, but there's no guarentee
[02:04] <Jim1804> cwillu...that's what I needed to know!
[02:04] <romuloubuntu> because I will nedd to download it and then download the new one
[02:05] <cwillu> Jim1804: :p
[02:05] <micahcowan> romuloubuntu, depends what you want. feisty is stable enough for use at this point, but it's still buggy enough... (and probably will be a small ways after the release). If you don't mind helping us squash bugs, the answer is /definitely/ get the 7.04 beta ^_^
[02:05] <romuloubuntu> tx
[02:05] <micahcowan> That's probably your answer, anyway, really. If you want a particularly stable system, you'd probably want 6.06 LTS.
[02:05] <cwillu> Jim1804: did you have any luck with the one gstreamer package I mentioned?  I'm almost certain it should Just Work.
[02:05] <Jim1804> thanks everyone for your help...I might be back in a few days to try and fix my internet!
[02:06] <romuloubuntu> I would really like to contribute in any possible way
[02:06] <Jim1804> cwillu...i'm downloading now....
[02:06] <cwillu> Jim1804: k, gl with that :)
[02:06] <romuloubuntu> I am also a developer and would like to contribute with ubuntu in some way, what is the best way to do that
[02:06] <Jim1804> thanks cwillu....
[02:06] <Jim1804> have a good weekend everyone!
[02:06] <Jordan_U> selby, A chroot lets you fix / update the system from a liveCD, if you don't know how to do one you may get stuck with an OS that won't boot and no way to fix it
[02:06] <cwillu> romuloubuntu: do the beta, get familiar with how ubuntu's put together, find something broken, fix it :)
[02:06] <micahcowan> Hey, is it possible to disable the shutdown/restart section of the power-manager GUI that comes up when you click the panel icon, for some users?
[02:07] <EADG> Can some one clue me into how I get Elinks to use zgv as the default image viewer?
[02:07] <cwillu> micahcowan: I believe there's an option hidden in gconf-editor to disable particular items
[02:07] <micahcowan> My four-year-old son tends to accidentally shut down the computer insteaad of log out, much of the time...
[02:07] <selby> Jordan U, no see it boots fine. The problem is with the profile that I regulary use. I can login with it and obviously then the keyboard works but once I'm in it stops working.
[02:07] <micahcowan> cwillu, really? That's excellent, I'll check that out.
[02:07] <selby> Reading this, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=349467&highlight=laptop+keyboard+stopped+working, and I have had no luck doing anything in there.
[02:07] <Jordan_U> romuloubuntu, This is the support channel, maybe try asking in #ubuntu-dev ?
[02:07] <Akuma_> i can i know if i have qt installed?
[02:08] <romuloubuntu> and when I fix it, what should I do
[02:08] <romuloubuntu> I mean, to tell people how I did it, put it on the foruns?

[02:09] <blackslash> My booting hdd got freebsd installed. If i format it to ext3, will i then have to install grub again?
[02:09] <selby> Cwillu, through the terminal?
[02:09] <selby> because it isn't returning anything.
[02:09] <cwillu> selby: or alt+f2
[02:09] <Jordan_U> selby, Sorry, I thought you were someone else, the chroot comment has nothing to do with your problem.
[02:09] <selby> cwillu: alt f2. okay.
[02:10] <selby> jordan_u: yes, i figured it wasn't related. it's okay.
[02:10] <Teres> how do i update to the 686 kernel?
[02:10] <selby> cwillu: okay i am in there.
[02:10] <Jordan_U> blackslash, Most likely, yes.
[02:10] <selby> cwillu: what would I look for specifically? I have no messed with config before.

[02:20] <makuseru>  hi, i was intalling ububtu on a laptop frmo the alternate insatall disk, and during install it got hung at "choose and install software" so i told it to skip and now when i boot up i just get a terminal and startx does nothing, what can i do to fix this?
[02:21] <AngryElf_> Is there any way to enable "corner actions" to occur when the pointer is moved to one of the 4 corners?
[02:21] <rysiek|pl> does anybody know how can I configure HAL to run an additional command everytime the system is being suspended (power state S3) or waking-up from it?
[02:22] <Momerath616> Any idea why an sd card would be mounted and tell me that it has 0% free space left?
[02:22] <freeza> his anyone here running ubuntu on a macbook?
[02:22] <Momerath616> It has 900mb left on it in windows
[02:23] <lufis> Momerath616: maybe it is mounted as read-only?
[02:23] <lufis> Momerath616: can you write to it?
[02:23] <Momerath616> no because it keeps telling me that it has no free space
[02:24] <chuck_tx> anybody got an idea where the screen res prefs gets its resolution options from?
[02:24] <Teres_> how do i install the 686 kernel?
[02:24] <lufis> chuck_tx: From the xorg.conf file
[02:24] <Tube|> jeh
[02:24] <chuck_tx> romuloubuntu: do you have the installer crashing problem?
[02:24] <lufis> Teres_: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[02:25] <Teres_> fiesty
[02:25] <lufis> chuck_tx: /etc/X11/xorg.conf i think it is
[02:25] <Momerath616> lufis: Any idea how to change the permissions of it? It's automounted so I'm not sure how to do it
[02:25] <Stormx2> Momerath616: Just because it says there is no free space doesn't mean its rw
[02:25] <chuck_tx> lufis: Is that true for the Live CD?
[02:25] <lufis> chuck_tx: should be
[02:25] <lufis> Momerath616: have no idea, maybe someone else knows though
[02:25] <BSG75> anyone know how to get Teamspeak2 client working under ubuntu edgy eft?
[02:26] <Momerath616> hehe ok
[02:26] <BSG75> I think it has to do with the fact TS2 uses oss
[02:26] <Flannel> BSG75: the forums (ubuntuforums.org) have some walkthroughs
[02:26] <Momerath616> Anyone in here know how to set the permissions of an automounted device?
[02:26] <Teres_> so wat must i do?
[02:26] <BSG75> Flannel: thanks heading there now :)
[02:26] <Flannel> Teres_: you want the -generic kernel
[02:26] <Nameless-One> hey can someone assist me... when compiling some software i get the error:
[02:26] <Nameless-One> "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXt"   ...   "collect2: ld returned 1 exit status"
[02:26] <Nameless-One> what package do i have to install to get this "-lxt" thing, its in one of the x11 dev packages i think but i'm not sure which one and i cant just install them all
[02:26] <chuck_tx> lufis: I have looked at xorg.conf & all color bit depths have 1024x768 as an option.  When I got o scr res prefs 8x6 is the highest available
[02:26] <lufis> Teres_: as far as i know the latest ubuntu versions come with optmized kernels, so you're already using the best one
[02:26] <BSG75> btw compiz on ubuntu simply ROCKS :)

[02:27] <lufis> Teres_: yes, as far as i know
[02:27] <Teres_> k
[02:27] <Teres_> thnx
[02:27] <Flannel> Teres_: yes, -generic is the one you want.  If you're using -386, you should switch to -generic
[02:27] <Teres_> how?
[02:27] <Teres_> i dont know wat im using

[02:27] <Teres_> how do i find out?

[02:28] <selby> could anyone here help me with using gconf-editor to fix a keyboard that is not working in a certain profile?
[02:28] <lufis> Just a second... ubuto will link you to the wiki page if i can remember the command
[02:28] <Momerath616> I'm assuming its a udev issue...but I'm not familiar with it. That or my user account isn't in the proper group

[02:29] <Flannel> selby: gconf shouldn't have anything to do with the keyboard
[02:29] <Pie-rate> i are out of disc space. you is telling me how to delete KDE (i installed it a while ago to try it)
[02:29] <Stormx2> Bwahaha
[02:29] <selby> flannel: the keyboard does not work upon login to a profile and I had been told in a previous session, before i had to reg my nick, that gconf was somehow involved.
[02:30] <avidal> Hrm.
[02:30] <desrt> is there a sane way to use a amd64 kernel with an x86 system?
[02:30] <avidal> So I got ubuntu installed via the alternate installer CD, but it locks up if I try to log in the normal way.  The only way I can get to the desktop is by going into the recovery console and running startx
[02:30] <Flannel> selby: That's interesting.  It's only one user?  It's some mapping of thieir keyboard thing.  but, I don't believe you use gconf to edit that.
[02:30] <selby> flannel: it works fine in the login screen and in other profiles, as i'm doing now, but not in my profile. why would this be and how can i fix it without being logged in as my profile as the keyboard does not work.
[02:30] <Stormx2> Pie-rate, how did you install it? apt-get? aptitude? synaptic?
[02:30] <_JECKEL_> hi. I got ubuntu 6.10 64bit and I can't get wireless to work. To note, wireless worked in Kubuntu 64bit
[02:30] <selby> flannel: yes. okay. what would i do to restore a backup of whatever keyboard settings then?
[02:30] <Flannel> selby: log into your profile using "safe gnome" session
[02:30] <Pie-rate> Stormx2, already got it. how do i clear my apt cache?
[02:31] <selby> flannel: okay. let me try that.
[02:31] <selby> flannel: right back then.
[02:31] <Flannel> selby: or, if youjust wnat to restore it, delete the file in your homedir.  I... don't know what the file would be.
[02:31] <Momerath616> i tried opening the drive using sudo nautilus but it still tells me that there is no free space
[02:31] <_JECKEL_> any ideas on how I can fix this? anything I can download or whatever to help recognize wireless networks?
[02:31] <Stormx2> Pie-rate, which DEs do you have installed?
[02:31] <selby> flannel: yes i figured it would restore it but i too havn't found whatfile that would be.
[02:31] <Pie-rate> Stormx2: just gnome now.
[02:31] <Stormx2> Momerath616: is it read-only?
[02:31] <Nameless-One> "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXt" ... What is  -lxt?
[02:31] <_JECKEL_> PM me with answer.
[02:31] <Momerath616> Stormx2: i have no idea
[02:31] <docta_v> anyone have a recommendation for a good rcs wrapper script or eaiser-to-use rcs replacement
[02:32] <Stormx2> _JECKEL_: Why pm?
[02:32] <Flannel> selby: sorry.  Can't help in the search.  I don't have a GUI.  It'd definately bein your homedir, however little that help is.
[02:32] <KI4CGP> I'm having the same problem with my wireless card, a broadcom 4318 airforce one.  Is there a channel on freenode that would be better suited for this type of help?
[02:32] <phoenix87ta> I'm having difficulty chowning a drive I just installed.  I get an operation not permitted error.  the command I'm using is 'sudo chown -R user:group /media/backup40'  any idea where I'm going wrong here?

[02:32] <ubotu> _JECKEL_: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[02:32] <_JECKEL_> i'm searching on the net and you guys seem to be flooded
[02:32] <Momerath616> Stormx2: In the properties for the device it says that there is no file access or something. But the device is owned by my user account
[02:32] <Flannel> Pie-rate: sudo apt-get clean
[02:33] <_JECKEL_> well i'm wondering why it worked in kubuntu and not in ubuntu
[02:33] <_JECKEL_> something to do with KDE programs?
[02:33] <avidal> Anyone have any ideas?
[02:33] <Flannel> _JECKEL_: yeah, you were using... kwifimanager or whatever it is.
[02:33] <avidal> So I got ubuntu installed via the alternate installer CD, but it locks up if I try to log in the normal way.  The only way I can get to the desktop is by going into the recovery console and running startx
[02:33] <Stormx2> Momerath616: Go into the drive. Right click a file. Are the options for delete, rename, etc, greyed out?
[02:33] <Flannel> avidal: can you login normally?
[02:33] <_JECKEL_> anything for gnome like that?
[02:33] <Flannel> avidal: normal boot, then ctrl-alt-f1 and login?
[02:33] <Nameless-One> "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXt"  ...  "collect2: ld returned 1 exit status", can anyone tell what package this -lxt thing is in

[02:34] <Flannel> _JECKEL_: there are.  Check out that page for all sorts of info
[02:34] <_JECKEL_> just telling me how to configure cards.
[02:35] <Momerath616> I tried mounting it manually but it still says that there isn't any free space
[02:36] <Flannel> _JECKEL_: System-->Administration-->Networking  Is the menu item, I believe
[02:37] <_JECKEL_> yeah...all I seem to get options for are to configure for a specific wireless network
[02:37] <Stormx2> Momerath616: fat might be reporting the free space incorrectly?
[02:37] <Flannel> _JECKEL_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager  that might be it, actually
[02:37] <joshuahighfield> is it possible to use edgy on a macbook with dual boot
[02:37] <brunoUT> yo
[02:38] <Stormx2> Momerath616: Is there a directory "Recycled" on the card?
[02:38] <Momerath616> Stormx2: I think that might be it. I have no clue whats going on. Never had a problem like this before
[02:38] <brunoUT> i am trying to run envy 0.9 but cannot run the .deb
[02:38] <brunoUT> i do not have the right privleges or something
[02:38] <Momerath616> Stormx2: Nope. I haven't even put enough data on this card to use all of the space
[02:38] <Stormx2> brunoUT: Double click it. Then hit "Install". Enter your password when prompted
[02:38] <freeza> you typed sudo before dpkg -i?
[02:38] <Stormx2> brunoUT: Is envy not in the repos?
[02:38] <avidal> Flannel, if I tried booting regular and hitting CTRL+ALT+F1 and it works, where does that leave me?  Normally, my computer locks up within 15-20 seconds of the login screen.  If I use startx via the recovery console, everything is peachy.
[02:39] <brunoUT> Storm
[02:39] <brunoUT> i do that
[02:39] <brunoUT> and i get a red error in the install box
[02:39] <phoenix87ta> I'm having difficulty chowning a drive I just installed.  I get an operation not permitted error.  the command I'm using is 'sudo chown -R user:group /media/backup40'  any idea where I'm going wrong here?
[02:39] <Stormx2> What does the error read?
[02:39] <brunoUT> not the right dependency
[02:39] <cables> Can anyone recommend a good USB or PCI (preferably USB) Wi-Fi card that works well with Linux?
[02:39] <Stormx2> !+envy
[02:39] <brunoUT> im not on my linux box right now
[02:39] <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
[02:39] <brunoUT> piss
[02:39] <Stormx2> Ah
[02:39] <freeza> did you try installing envy in the terminal?
[02:39] <Stormx2> well there you go.
[02:39] <Derek_Russo> Hi everyone, I just installed ubuntu for the first time and there are a couple of problems I would like some help fixing
[02:40] <brunoUT> no....how do i install in the terminal?
[02:40] <Stormx2> brunoUT: Maybe find a better way, yeah?
[02:40] <cables> !ask | Derek_Russo
[02:40] <ubotu> Derek_Russo: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:40] <brunoUT> freeza
[02:40] <freeza> ok im guessing you download the deb from the main envy site right?
[02:40] <Stormx2> brunoUT: The whole reason it isn't supported is because it may break your system
[02:40] <brunoUT> correct
[02:40] <brunoUT> nahh i got it to work
[02:40] <brunoUT> but i moved my home directory
[02:40] <Derek_Russo> First, when I try to click on volume control, it tells me "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found"
[02:40] <brunoUT> and everything died
[02:40] <freeza> alright this is what you do
[02:41] <brunoUT> im tring to bring my system back
[02:41] <Derek_Russo> though I do hear a noise when ubuntu starts up - I'm not sure how to install the drivers I need
[02:41] <brunoUT> ok...
[02:41] <cables> Derek_Russo, it doesn't support your soundcard, but this may help
[02:41] <cables> !sound | Derek_Russo
[02:41] <ubotu> Derek_Russo: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[02:41] <freeza> is your system up to date?
[02:41] <joshuahighfield> so does anybody know if there are any conflicts running edgy on a macbook pro?
[02:41] <brunoUT> yes it sure is
[02:41] <_Roman> I am using ubuntu edgy on a laptop (pentium m based).  The problem is that the cpu will not go below 600 Mhz.  The machine dual-boots windows and will clock down to 300mhz.  How do I change this?
[02:41] <wick2o> evening
[02:41] <brunoUT> well my ubuntu box is at school
[02:41] <freeza> alright then open terminal
[02:41] <Stormx2> Derek_Russo: If you go into Applications > Sound & Video > Sound Recorder, does that start up okay?
[02:41] <Derek_Russo> My sound card is just integrated into my motherboard though, it seems like it should support it.  Also, how is it playing a sound when ubuntu starts?
[02:41] <brunoUT> i just need the correct way of doing it
[02:41] <brunoUT> open terminal......
[02:42] <cafuego_> _Roman: What speed cpu is it? Model wise?
[02:42] <Derek_Russo> No it doesn't, it says "Your audio capture settings are invalid.  Please correct them in the Multimedia settings"
[02:42] <Stormx2> Okay
[02:42] <freeza> yeah goto applications and theres an app called terminal
[02:42] <Stormx2> Give me a moment or two.
[02:42] <_Roman> cafuego: pentium M 1.1ghz
[02:42] <brunoUT> yes....i got that much
[02:43] <RyanRyan52> I have onboard Intel GMA x3000 grapics. I installed an unstable driver which made it so i couldnt get into gnome. somebody on here told me to change the graphics driver to vesa. It works but its slow. can anybody tell me how to get it back to its original?
[02:43] <freeza> ok where did you save the deb file?
[02:43] <brunoUT> my desktop
[02:43] <brunoUT> ive tried puttin it in my home folder
[02:43] <brunoUT> no luck tho
[02:43] <cafuego_> _Roman: A dothan?
[02:43] <freeza> ok then on terminal do "cd Desktop"
[02:43] <brunoUT> ok...
[02:44] <ATi7500> RyanRyan52: did you try to reconfigure xorg?
[02:44] <Stormx2> Derek_Russo: Applications > Accessories > Terminal. Type: asoundconf set-default-card 0
[02:44] <_Roman> cafuego_: not sure, how do I find out?  (it isn't in /proc/cpuinfo)
[02:44] <RyanRyan52> how do i do that(im very new to linux)
[02:44] <brunoUT> freeza....
[02:44] <cafuego_> _Roman: nm then, that's ok
[02:44] <ATi7500> RyanRyan52: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[02:45] <freeza> then type "sudo dpkg -i nameoffile" . you can do like first 2 letters of file and hit tab and it will finish it for you
[02:45] <RyanRyan52> thanks
[02:45] <brunoUT> word....and that will install the GUI for me i think.....
[02:45] <brunoUT> thats what it did before
[02:45] <brunoUT> before i could just double click the .deb and it worked fine
[02:45] <brunoUT> now i dont have the right depedency
[02:45] <ATi7500> RyanRyan52: you're welcome
[02:46] <cafuego_> _Roman: I think - am fairly sure - that chip can't clock down to below 600Mhz. Probably the tool on windows that says 300MHz is lying.
[02:46] <RyanRyan52> wich driver do i choose?
[02:46] <Teres_> how do i enable the ipx protocol?
[02:46] <ATi7500> try with the 810, not sure it will work
[02:46] <ATi7500> but it should
[02:46] <wick2o> is there a way to get dpkg -i package.deb and still use db_get in the postinst script?
[02:46] <RyanRyan52> ok
[02:46] <DonL> Hi. Long time no be here.
[02:46] <brunoUT> freeza...
[02:47] <freeza> whats wrong?
[02:47] <_Roman> cafuego_:ok, thanks.  The information held in /sys (scaling_available_frequencies, etc) Can that stuff be edited or is it just reporting infomation back into userspace?
[02:47] <brunoUT> did u see what i was saying
[02:47] <brunoUT> i used to be able to double click the .deb
[02:47] <cafuego_> _Roman: Alternatively, Linux has ana cpi issue and doesn't know it can (or how to) clock the chip to 300
[02:47] <brunoUT> now i have to do this
[02:47] <brunoUT> whats the reason behind that?
[02:47] <cafuego_> _Roman: No, that's read out of the hardware
[02:47] <Derek_Russo> So I just looked at the help guide one of you posted and the sound card is recognized, but the drivers aren't installed.  How can I go about getting drivers for the card?
[02:48] <freeza> if you got an x3000 the current i8xx or i9xx drivers might not work at all since its a totally new graphics chip
[02:48] <freeza> hmm you user deps might be broken to work with root
[02:48] <_Roman> cafuego_:ok.  I will investigate further and find out what the chip should be capable of.
[02:48] <Momerath616> ARGH! I'm going to need another beer to fix this flippin thing
[02:48] <cafuego_> _Roman: *nod* I was trying wikipedia, but without an axact model number it's tricky :-)
[02:48] <freeza> i cant really help you much there since i always use terminal to install anything
[02:49] <Momerath616> Stormx2: This thing is saying it has no inodes when i do a df -i
[02:49] <Stormx2> Derek_Russo: You sure? Try running this: speaker-test -c2 -Ddefault -twav
[02:49] <kelsa|martalli> I need to open port 6600 for mpd...Under firestarter, I have 'inbound traffic policy" for port 6600 set to "open" for all
[02:49] <kelsa|martalli> Shouldn't that work?
[02:49] <_Roman> cafuego_: any suggestions on how to get ubuntu to tell me exactly what the cpu is?
[02:49] <freeza> yeah
[02:49] <kelsa|martalli> _Roman:  Check /proc/cpu
[02:49] <Momerath616> Although my other fat32 drive doesnt have any inodes either...
[02:49] <kelsa|martalli> _Roman:  such as cat /proc/cpu
[02:50] <PORDO> what's the quickest way to get the IPA of a domain?  Say google.com?
[02:50] <kelsa|martalli> _Roman:  such as cat /proc/cpuinfo
[02:50] <PORDO> I'm trying to find out why this Windows machine won't connect to the net, and I think maybe it can't access a DNS.
[02:50] <freeza> cat /proc/cpuinfo tells you completely everything about the cpu
[02:50] <Stormx2> kelsa|martalli: if it doesn't, it will show up as an event on firestarter and you can enable it then
[02:50] <PORDO> can someone just shoot me a working server's IPA?
[02:50] <cafuego_> freeza: except the cpuid info
[02:50] <kelsa|martalli> Stormx2:  I will try again
[02:51] <freeza> it should tell you though the ranges the cpu can go in mhz though
[02:51] <kelsa|martalli> under ifconfig, I see "inet addr:192.168.1.221" 192.168.1.221 is my address, right?
[02:51] <phoenix87ta> quick question.  when you're done with 'man <command>', how do you close the manual and get back to your terminal?
[02:51] <freeza> crtl+z
[02:51] <phoenix87ta> ty
[02:51] <kelsa|martalli> Phoenix321:  Hit 'q'
[02:51] <Stormx2> kelsa|martalli: You understand that controlling mpd from another computer won't give you any audio output on the controlling computer, right?
[02:52] <cafuego_> freeza: it only reports on current speed, it doesn't list all available ones
[02:52] <kelsa|martalli> Stormx2:  Right.  I am trying to work it so that I can control the music for the phone system on an older box.
[02:52] <_Roman> cafuego_: according to cpuinfo (and wikipedia) this is my cpu (family: 6 model 13) which is Intel Pentium M processor, Intel Celeron M model D. All processors are manufactures using 90nm process
[02:52] <chuck_tx> Can anyone tell me if there is a log for the installer?
[02:52] <kelsa|martalli> In fact, I was thinking about making it just a server install on that on (p2-400)
[02:52] <chuck_tx> So I can figure out where it's breaking?
[02:53] <kelsa|martalli> Stormx2:  But first I am fiddling with it on my desk computer
[02:53] <Stormx2> kelsa|martalli: A phone system? I'm curious....
[02:53] <mahdi> hi, do anybody knows a way to disable wpa_supplicant and still use NetworkManager?
[02:53] <chuck_tx> Or where there is log for the gnome disk partitioner?
[02:53] <freeza> hold on i was reading a guide the other day when i was setting up governor and it had the command to tell you the ranges
[02:53] <kevino00> can someone help me connect to a vista share
[02:53] <selby> Anyone here have any idea as to why my keyboard, both wireless USB and on the laptop, do not work in one certain profile?
[02:53] <kelsa|martalli> Stormx2:  Well, I couldn't convince my partners to go with an Asterik pbx, so we have a 3com system.  It takes the "music on hold" from a little 3.5 mm plug,
[02:53] <selby> I've already tried three things from this IRC and none have helped.
[02:54] <mahdi> (without uninstalling, of course... because if i uninstall it, ubuntu-desktop goes as well and a lose a lot of upgrade features)
[02:54] <Pelo> selby,  did you check the forum ?
[02:54] <wick2o> can you not use db_get in a postinst script when you use dpkg -i?
[02:54] <kelsa|martalli> Dsoesn't care what makes themusic, but everything else seems to just uit on us.  When people call in and the hold music isn't there, they think they were just hung up on
[02:54] <selby> Yes, one thing that I read was something with the .gconf folder.
[02:54] <selby> But that did not fix anything for me.
[02:54] <selby> pelo, here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=349467&highlight=laptop+keyboard+stopped+working
[02:55] <kevino00> why cant i connect to a windows vista computer

[02:59] <RyanRyan52> what graphics driver should i use? Its onboard Intel GMA x3000, When i try i810 the screen is black and i can only use the tty thing. When I try vesa it works but the graphics are really slow. Which one would be right to use?
[02:59] <selby> pelo: .gconf in the home dir?
[02:59] <Pelo> selby,  possibly
[03:00] <selby> pelo: okay i will try that.
[03:00] <Pelo> selby,  I don'T realy know, I'm doing a little brain storming to see if you wise up to something helpfull
[03:00] <selby> pelo: okay, ill give it a try anyways. can't hurt as long as i back it up.
[03:01] <firephoto> RyanRyan52: you need the i810-modesetting for that for best results... those good results aren't going to happen on edgy..
[03:02] <zeeeee> does dpkg have atomic transactions? or is it all up in the air if say i pull the plug while something's being installed?
[03:03] <ztomic> howdy!
[03:03] <Tube|> o/
[03:03] <selby> pelo: okay ive backed up the .gconf and replaced the one in the faulty profile with one from a working one. i should just be able to login now right?
[03:03] <phoenix87ta> I'm having difficulty chowning a drive I just installed.  I get an operation not permitted error.  the command I'm using is 'sudo chown -R user:group /media/backup40'  any idea where I'm going wrong here?
[03:04] <Pelo> selby,  I don'T know,  try it
[03:04] <selby> pelo: XD, its cool .ill give it a try.
[03:04] <_Roman> cafuego: my cpu is a Pentium M 733 and according to intel (http://download.intel.com/design/mobile/datashts/30218908.pdf) the cpu will scale down only to 300Mhz so I think your were correct about windows lying :)
[03:04] <davisc> phoenix87ta: What filesystem is on the drive?
[03:04] <phoenix87ta> davisc, fat32

[03:05] <_Roman> cafuego_: sorry typo: the cpu will only scale down to 600mhz
[03:05] <davisc> phoenix87ta: Ah, I think you can't have permissions on a FAT32 drive
[03:05] <Derek_Russo> Please help.  I have a core 2 duo processor chipset (I can't remember what that is anymore..) and I am trying to find my sound driver.  Does anyone know what the chipset is?
[03:05] <selby> pelo: that appears to have partially worked.
[03:05] <cafuego_> _Roman: Windows is probably estimating its own performance and guessing it runs like a dog, so it FEELS like 300 MHz ;-)
[03:06] <davisc> phoenix87ta: If you want a user to have access to it you need to specify the permissions when you mount the drive
[03:06] <selby> pelo: however now my gnome panels are not loading.
[03:06] <jterrero> can someone help me out, non beryl related questoin.. I am trying to mount a NTFS drive doing "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ntfs" it seems to mount correctly but when i try to change to that directory, it tells me permision denied
[03:06] <phoenix87ta> davisc, ah.  I see.  I was trying to find a way to get access to it without going through my root account
[03:06] <jterrero> anyone know what im doing wrong ?
[03:06] <selby> pelo: thanks though, i can live without the gnome panel for a while while i find the answer to this.
[03:06] <Pelo> selby,  so now you just need to restore the gnome-pannels , easy enough
[03:06] <cafuego_> _Roman: Last time I heard about a machine doing this was a Toshiba laptop utility just making things up.
[03:06] <davisc> phoenix87ta: You can. You can specify options to the mount
[03:06] <selby> pelo: yes.
[03:06] <phoenix87ta> davisc, yeah, I was a little slow on that reply.  I'll try it that way.  would it have to go in my fstab?
[03:06] <jterrero> anyone know or know where i can read some docs
[03:06] <_Roman>  cafuego_:thanks for your assistance.  Good night
[03:07] <selby> pelo: i actually dont use it for anything but having the menu and a drawer, i use desklets for the rest of it.
[03:07] <Tom47> Derek_Russo, you could try using Devce Manager to see
[03:07] <davisc> phoenix87ta: fmask=0111,dmask=0000 works for my NTFS drive.
[03:07] <selby> pelo: so no big deal unless you know an easy fix.
[03:07] <phoenix87ta> davisc, ty
[03:07] <cafuego_> Derek_Russo: Intel HDA sound
[03:07] <davisc> phoenix87ta: 4th column
[03:07] <davisc> phoenix87ta: np
[03:07] <Pelo> selby,  I think you just open up th terminal and run  gnome-panel
[03:07] <selby> pelo: okay, i hadn't bothered to try that yet.
[03:07] <cafuego_> Derek_Russo: 'snd_hda_intel' drive
[03:08] <selby> pelo: i think it reset my sessions for startup also but that's fixable.
[03:08] <jterrero> .. I am trying to mount a NTFS drive doing "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ntfs" it seems to mount correctly but when i try to change to that directory, it tells me permision denied
[03:08] <jterrero> anyone know what i am doing wrong
[03:08] <jterrero> please :)
[03:08] <davisc> jterrero: Same problem as phoenix87ta :-)
[03:08] <davisc> jterrero: You need to add -o fmask=0111,dmask=0000
[03:08] <jterrero> did he find a solution
[03:08] <jterrero> i am on fiesty
[03:09] <Pelo> selby,   gconf-editor , that will get you all the settings in a regedit format type things, it's a bit tedious but better then nothing
[03:09] <davisc> jterrero: Dismount first

[03:09] <ubotu> Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[03:09] <jterrero> so "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ntfs -o fmask=0111,dmask=0000"
[03:10] <Derek_Russo> cafuego: I'm a linux newbie, how do I use that information to install a sound driver?
[03:10] <davisc> jterrero: "sudo mount -o fmask=0111,dmask=0000 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ntfs"
[03:10] <jterrero> thanks, that worked
[03:10] <davisc> jterrero: That will let every account on the machine read every file on the NTFS volume
[03:11] <SomaFM> are there any guides on configuring software raid 1 (mirror) for 6.10, for COMPLETE noobs?

[03:11] <selby> pelo: it appears that it is a permissions problem but i think i can fix that easy enough.
[03:11] <selby> pelo: what about gconf-editor?
[03:12] <SomaFM> Tom47, dont understand those
[03:12] <kbrooks> http://rimco.blogspot.com/2007/04/interesting-idea-on-advertising-ubuntu.html  # Please read.
[03:12] <selby> pelo: fixed my permissions. all should be good now. thank you.
[03:12] <Pelo> selby, the gconf-editor lets you customize all the gnome settings,  but it is a bit tedious in it ,s working,  not realy user freindly,  use the search feature under edit,  to help you locate keys ,
[03:13] <corevette> how do you get firefox in safe mode??? firefox -safe?
[03:13] <DoubtlessDan> firefox -safe-mode
[03:13] <selby> pelo: yes i have looked through gconf editor but never used it. if i need to ill take a look at it.
[03:13] <corevette> thanks doubtlessdan
[03:13] <DoubtlessDan> np
[03:14] <JoseBravo> My firefox can't reproduce sounds, anyone know how can I enable it?
[03:14] <ryanakca> is there a way to upgrade just one package?
[03:14] <davisc> ryanakca: sudo apt-get install package
[03:15] <DoubtlessDan> or sudo apt-get upgrade package
[03:15] <selby> pelo: how would i logout from my other profile via terminal?
[03:15] <ryanakca> thanks
[03:16] <selby> pelo: or at least without the use of the quit button since gnome-panel does not start due to insufficient privleges.
[03:16] <Pelo> selby,  I don'T know,  I 'm just a very basic home user with the one profile on the one computer,  not somerthing I've had to do
[03:16] <selby> pelo: okay. i understand. i'm the only user of this computer but i have a guest profile in such case mine does not work or someone else is needing to use it.
[03:17] <Pelo> selby,  ctrl alt backspace will restart X
[03:17] <DoubtlessDan> selby: There's a 'logout' command you can try, but it didn't work for me :)
[03:17] <selby> pelo: okay. ill do that.
[03:22] <IndyGunFreak> awful quiet here tonight.
[03:22] <IndyGunFreak> don'tthink i've ever saw the room go this long w/o chatter of some type
[03:23] <Pelo> shsss, we're meditating

[03:26] <robbie_crash> thanks Tom47
[03:26] <atselby> This is "selby"
[03:26] <atselby> I am in my other profile.
[03:26] <atselby> However a reboot of the entire machine didn't appear to fix the permissions problem.
[03:26] <Pelo> atselby, no messing around,  selby doesn't have an "at" before his nick
[03:26] <atselby> pelo: i am not.
[03:27] <quiteFrank> DoubtlessDan, I cant see any input devices
[03:27] <atselby> pelo: i can log back into the other profile if you wish.
[03:27] <Pelo> atselby,  I know I was messing with you
[03:27] <atselby> pelo: XD
[03:27] <quiteFrank> see a mic under volume controls
[03:27] <DoubtlessDan> quiteFrank:
[03:27] <Pelo> atselby,  when you copied over your gcong, you also imported the permission stuff
[03:27] <atselby> pelo: yes i figured so i changed the permissions on this profile.
[03:27] <DoubtlessDan> quiteFrank: I'm not really sure what's wrong. I'm not much good at getting hardware to work.
[03:27] <atselby> pelo: however it seems the reboot didn't aply those.
[03:28] <quiteFrank> DoubtlessDan, no worries will have a bit more of a play ... thanks
[03:28] <atselby> pelo: is there any way to edti permissions via gconf-editor?
[03:28] <cwillu> how do you get ubuntu to redetect uuid's for drives in fstab, grub, etc?
[03:28] <Pelo> atselby,  while you were away, I considered the orignial problem and wondered if the problem was not due to lack of permission for accessing wireless device
[03:29] <atselby> pelo: that occured to me also. however my laptop's keyboard did not work in this current profile either.
[03:29] <atselby> pelo: so i decided that could not be the situation.
[03:29] <Pelo> atselby,  your last question is a bit over my head,  my suggestion,   restore your previous gconf and compare the two for the keyboard keys,  and make the appropriate modifications
[03:30] <Hypnotix> Is there a website that has some of the best Linux software out there?
[03:30] <makuseru> hi, im trying to install ubuntu on my laptop form the "alterate install disk" and i while it was installing it skipped the "choose and install software" part so when it finished i have basically nothing installed, not even a giu, how can i fix this?
[03:30] <atselby> I attempted that while viewing the txt files about an hour ago.
[03:30] <atselby> pelo: and found nothing
[03:30] <atselby> pelo; they looked the same. however if you mean through the editor, no i did not.
[03:30] <Prez_> Hypnotix: check this one out, I just stmbled upon it a little while ago http://www.digitaldarknet.net/thelist/
[03:30] <DoubtlessDan> makuseru: reinstall.
[03:30] <atselby> pelo: hold on while i login to the other profile to check my permissions.
[03:31] <Pelo> atselby,  did you need to perform any special install to get the keyboard working in your original profile ?,  do that again in the guest one
[03:31] <makuseru> DoubtlessDan: i did, gets stuck at the same part
[03:31] <atselby> pelo: no i did not.
[03:31] <Pelo> atselby,  I meant using the editor
[03:31] <Hypnotix> Pre: Thanks :)
[03:31] <Prez_> btw, i got to it, because I installed stumbleupon.com it's pretty cool
[03:31] <DoubtlessDan> makuseru: If you have an internet connection you could also try running 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop'
[03:31] <atselby> pelo: okay. ill do that after i check the permissions through the admin-menu window.
[03:31] <DoubtlessDan> makuseru: It's possible that your ISO was corrupted in the download or burning.
[03:32] <makuseru> DoubtlessDan: i did that too, and its reading its sources from the CD not the sources.list (tried 3 diffrent 3d's)
[03:32] <DoubtlessDan> makuseru: comment out the line in /etc/apt/sources.list which adds the CD to your sources.
[03:32] <doshi> i get this error when trying to compile a program...how can i fix it?...im using edgy: checking for GTK... configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-2.0 gdk-2.0) were not met:
[03:32] <doshi> No package 'gtk+-2.0' found
[03:32] <doshi> No package 'gdk-2.0' found
[03:33] <makuseru> DoubtlessDan: i went to my sources.list and that was the ONLY source, so i coppied all my sources frmo my PC to the laptop, and it wont connect to any of them
[03:33] <atselby> pelo: the permissions appear fine in the dialoug window for users and groups.
[03:33] <Pelo> Hypnotix,  you can try this too http://www.gnomefiles.org/
[03:34] <atselby> pelo: how would i go about comparing the two .gconf withotu restoring them to their profile?
[03:34] <atselby> pelo: i dont see a load option in the editor for example.
[03:34] <DoubtlessDan> makuseru: Hmm, I'm not sure what to say.
[03:35] <Pelo> atselby, try this,  loog in your regular account,  open up gconf-editor   menu > edit > search : keyboard,  make note of the various keys and their settings,  then change accounts and do the same
[03:35] <atselby> i am in my profile.
[03:35] <atselby> pelo: i am in my profile of atselby.
[03:35] <DoubtlessDan> makuseru: What point does the installer stop working?
[03:35] <atselby> pelo: i moved the settings for the guest profile selby to this one.
[03:35] <SomaFM> !software raid
[03:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about software raid - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:35] <SomaFM> !raid
[03:35] <ubotu> Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[03:36] <atselby> pelo: or are you saying note down all keyboard values and then restore it?
[03:36] <makuseru> DoubtlessDan: "choose and install software" and it says "
[03:36] <Pelo> atselby,  which one is that ? is atselby your original profile or the guest one ?
[03:36] <makuseru> you may skip this step"
[03:36] <makuseru> os i do
[03:36] <makuseru> so*
[03:36] <atselby> pelo: atselby is my original profile that was not working earlier.
[03:36] <makuseru> and it finishes it
[03:36] <Pelo> atselby,  which profile was the one with the wroking keyboard ?
[03:36] <atselby> pelo: selby
[03:37] <DoubtlessDan> makuseru: Feisty or Edgy?
[03:37] <RichiH> sarnold: oi
[03:37] <atselby> pelo: theoretically i'd think that if the permissions are fine in the guest one, selby, then it should work exactly the same in this other one that i copied it directly to.
[03:37] <makuseru> Edgy
[03:37] <Pelo> selby so ,  login the selby account , copy those settings,  and match then in the atselby one
[03:37] <sarnold> RichiH: pong :)
[03:37] <DSpair> Does anyone know if you can set up an Intel Wireless adapter to act in master mode to become and access-point?
[03:37] <atselby> pelo: they are the same i thought.
[03:37] <atselby> pelo: since i copied the selby gconf to the atselby gconf
[03:38] <Pelo> atselby,  I'm getting confused here
[03:38] <atselby> pelo: as am i. XD
[03:38] <atselby> pelo: what i ended up doing is what you said. move the working .gconf folder to the non working .gconf folder thus replacing whatever was broken.
[03:38] <Pelo> atselby,  ok original problem,  wireless keyboard not working in selby, working in atselby ? right or wrong ?
[03:38] <DoubtlessDan> makuseru: I'm not sure what's going wrong there. Does it work if you don't skip that step?
[03:38] <atselby> pelo: no
[03:38] <Pelo> atselby,  ok what was the original problem
[03:38] <JoseBravo> My firefox can't reproduce sounds, anyone know how can I enable it?
[03:39] <atselby> pelo: original problem: wireless and embedded keyboard, in the laptop, not working in profile atselby. both were working in profile selby.
[03:39] <makuseru> DoubtlessDan: ya, the install goes fine after that, but i have no programs installed, so when it boots up its just a terminal
[03:39] <Pelo> atselby,  so you copied the .gcong folder from atselby in selby ?
[03:39] <atselby> pelo: other way around, but yes.
[03:40] <Pelo> atselby,  scratch that ,  from selby to atselby
[03:40] <atselby> pelo: yes. correct.
[03:40] <DoubtlessDan> makuseru: You skipped the step where you choose and install programs.
[03:40] <Pelo> atselby is the regular account,  selby is the guest one
[03:40] <DoubtlessDan> makuseru: That's why there's no programs...
[03:40] <atselby> pelo: i have an idea. i have both .conf on the desktop of my root profile. i can compare files in there could i not?
[03:40] <Pelo> atselby,  try it
[03:41] <atselby> pelo: yes but for reasons like this guest had access to some admin tools so i could edit permissions etc.
[03:41] <atselby> pelo: going to. right back then.
[03:41] <Pelo> atselby,  you might have to do it one at a time
[03:41] <makuseru> DoubtlessDan: i said that like 7 times
[03:41] <DoubtlessDan> makuseru: I know...I'm getting myself all confused.
[03:41] <atselby> pelo: yes, it might but if there are only the few folders that deal with keyboard as i saw earlier while looking thorugh the folders it should only be 10 - 20 files.
[03:41] <makuseru> DoubtlessDan: your getting me confused too, haha
[03:42] <DoubtlessDan> makuseru: hehe, sorry. :P
[03:42] <makuseru> DoubtlessDan: so do you know how i can fix it?
[03:42] <DoubtlessDan> makuseru: So the problem isn't that you have no programs; it's that your computer can't install anything, right?
[03:42] <PORDO> anyone have a chenming box?  i'm trying to figure out which fan wire to cut, because i think the MB is taking the fan speed as an inverse.  when my CPU is more active, the fan slows down, and is normally really fast.
[03:42] <makuseru> ya, cause it wont connect with the sources.list
[03:43] <DoubtlessDan> makuseru: Wireless or wired?
[03:43] <makuseru> wired
[03:43] <PORDO> i think it is the black wire that reports fan speed.
[03:45] <Noah0504> What's an alternative to SoundConverter for converting FLAC to OGG?
[03:45] <PORDO> oggenc
[03:45] <PORDO> with FLAC support added.  simple package install.
[03:46] <DoubtlessDan> makuseru: I'm not sure what to say (again). I think someone with more skills than me will have to help you.
[03:46] <crimsun> (just install vorbis-tools)
[03:46] <makuseru> hi, im trying to install ubuntu on my laptop form the "alterate install disk" and i while it was installing it skipped the "choose and install software" part so when it finished i have basically nothing installed, not even a gui, how can i fix this?
[03:46] <Noah0504> PORDO, crimsun: Thanks.
[03:47] <SomaFM> does anyone have a noobs guide to configuring software raid 1 (mirror)? not one from the bot please. im going to go insane figuring this out
[03:47] <Noah0504> makuseru: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[03:47] <makuseru> it wont connect to my sources.list
[03:47] <robbie_crash> When my computer starts up, and I have to type in my login, my keyboad/mouse only work for about 10 seconds, then cease to respond, until I unplug and replug the bluetooth usb-dongle, after that everything works fine... Anyone have any idea what would be causing this or how to fix it?
[03:48] <Pelo> pop in the cd
[03:48] <Pelo> robbie_crash,  check the forum for bluetooth issues
[03:48] <atselby> pelo: i have a list of files now and i can compare/view them through this profile.

[03:49] <atselby> pelo: should i start under the /gnome folder?
[03:49] <Arrick> is there a ubuntu developer in the channel tonight?
[03:49] <Pelo> atselby,  I have never done this,  you'Re choice
[03:49] <crimsun> Arrick: several.
[03:49] <c0l> how can i interrupt something being installed? (via sudo apt-get install) -- I tried control-C, but then I had to run --dpkg --configure -a to use apt-get install at all, which then it just continued installing the app i wanted to stop
[03:49] <DoubtlessDan> SomaFM: http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_software_raid <--- It's aimed more for Ubuntu 5.10, but it should at leats give you some help.
[03:49] <atselby> pelo: just asking for what you'd think would be the most logical place to start.
[03:49] <atselby> pelo: xd
[03:49] <Arrick> crimsun, I need a name, I have a specific request
[03:50] <c0l> wait, nevermind
[03:50] <Pelo> atselby,  I ahve a systematic mind, I start with wathever is on top and go from there
[03:50] <atselby> pelo: and /gnome is on top
[03:50] <atselby> pelo: XD
[03:50] <crimsun> Arrick: we're all listed on Launchpad.
[03:50] <Arrick> ok
[03:50] <mister_roboto> c0l: why interrupt it? if you don't want it, just remove it again afterward. in general, it's a bad idea to interrupt things in the middle of updating files, databases, etc
[03:50] <Arrick> crimsun, are you one?
[03:50] <makuseru> where is the xorg log located?
[03:50] <crimsun> Arrick: we're all listed on Launchpad.
[03:50] <Arrick> and is that launchpad.net?
[03:50] <crimsun> yes
[03:51] <atselby> gah permission to view dilema. gotta fix that.
[03:51] <Arrick> ok
[03:51] <mister_roboto> makuseru: /var/log/Xorg*
[03:51] <nicolah> guys I'd like to download this svn http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/gimmie/trunk/ what's the command ? thanks
[03:51] <mister_roboto> svn co <url>
[03:51] <nicolah> mister_roboto, I already tried it
[03:52] <nicolah> svn: richiesta PROPFIND fallita su '/viewcvs/gimmie/trunk'
[03:52] <cwillu> atselby: are you the same person that was looking to disable shutdown?
[03:52] <atselby> cwillu: no, i was not.
[03:52] <cwillu> k
[03:52] <atselby> cwillu: i had a keyboard problem.
[03:53] <mister_roboto> nicolah: is that the correct url?
[03:53] <atselby> pelo: this is interesting. the one from the profile that was not working has many many more entires.
[03:53] <tarvid> what is a good audio stream finder for ubuntu?
[03:54] <nicolah> mister_roboto, don't know. I suppose it. since there's no instructions on the website
[03:54] <Pelo> atselby, very
[03:54] <paradoxx> !beryl
[03:54] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[03:54] <atselby> nothing to me looks like it would cause any problems.
[03:55] <premier_> does anyone know about TV Tuners and linux, esp, which cards tend to be the most compatable and highest quality?  Im using kubuntu
[03:55] <Pelo> atselby,  my original suggestion was,  open up gconf-editor,   search for keys with keyboard in them and copy those settnigs by hand to paper,   then change profiles,  open up gcong-editor again, and chech those same keys and see if there is a difference
[03:56] <atselby> the other instances of keyboard appear in the schemas and apps directories.
[03:56] <atselby> pelo: yes i did that sort of.
[03:56] <Pelo> ...
[03:56] <IndyGunFreak> premier_: depends on what you want to spend.
[03:56] <IndyGunFreak> my $25 hauppage works awesome...
[03:56] <atselby> pelo: i have open gconf editor and have found all the instances of keyboard
[03:56] <Pelo> atselby,  I realy have no idea how to solve your problem,  I am just guessing at possible avenues of investigation
[03:56] <octoberdan> How should I go about finding the device node for my usb disk enclosure?
[03:57] <tarvid> IndyGunFreak, how about external tv tuners for laptops
[03:57] <atselby> pelo: so far the first instance in the /desktop/gnome are differnet but there are only additioanl entries.
[03:57] <mister_roboto> nicolah: i don't think that's the correct URL to the repository, if it's even available on the internet
[03:57] <IndyGunFreak> tarvid: no clue
[03:57] <atselby> pelo: yes, i know and that's okay. any suggestions are better than none.
[03:57] <mister_roboto> nicolah: that URL is just a viewcvs "view" of the repository
[03:57] <premier_> IndyGunFreak: well, I think I can spend up to $150.  most tuners on newegg cost less, so it sounds like $$ isnt a problem
[03:57] <atselby> pelo; let me go to the other profile again and check something.
[03:57] <Pelo> atselby,  this is for the profile that works ?  so make notes and go copy them in the profile that doesn't work
[03:57] <nicolah> mister_roboto, so that svn isn't svn-able, right ?
[03:57] <atselby> i have the files in gedit right now.
[03:57] <IndyGunFreak> premier_: well, google holds a LOT of answers on getting them to work, what works easy, what doesn't, etc.
[03:58] <premier_> Anyway, there's a happauge product that looks nice.  Is happauge decent?
[03:58] <IndyGunFreak> premier_: mine is pretty good, for $30, i can't c9mplain
[03:58] <atselby> pelo: the only difference is that the one that was not working had about 10 extra entries in /desktop/gnome/accessability/keyboard
[03:58] <PORDO> is the next ubuntu out, or still like...beta?
[03:58] <Pelo> atselby,  try removing them
[03:58] <PORDO> i think i have edgy eft?
[03:58] <atselby> pordo: its in beta.
[03:58] <IndyGunFreak> premier_: seems the most important thing is to make sure they have a bttv chipset, which unfortunately y9ou don't know, until you buy it.
[03:58] <mister_roboto> nicolah: i'm saying that i don't think that URL points to an actual svn repository. so yes, that would mean it's not "svn-able"
[03:59] <PORDO> so edgy is still what i should probably be using.  thx atselby
[03:59] <atselby> porod: i think it releases on the 9th of this month.
[03:59] <atselby> 19th*
[03:59] <nicolah> thanks mister_roboto
[03:59] <PORDO> does ubuntu have any sort of internal election process like Debian does?
[03:59] <atselby> poro: yeah unless you want to beta test.
[03:59] <makuseru> is there anyway to install ubuntu over a network instead of from a CD?
[03:59] <atselby> pordo: edgy is what i use and im going to wait a while before upgrading to Feisty for bug reasons.
[03:59] <atselby> pelo: okay i'll take them out and try this profile again.
[04:00] <mister_roboto> nicolah: http://svn.gnome.org/svn/gimmie/trunk
[04:00] <Pelo> PORDO, no elections here,  Shuttleworth is generalisimo for life
[04:00] <mister_roboto> nicolah:  5 seconds of looking around showed how to find the URL
[04:00] <premier_> IndyGunFreak: happauge has a few that have a bttv.   Theres a nice one on newegg: Hauppauge WinTV-PVR 500 MCE White box PCI Interface Personal Video Recorder
[04:00] <crimsun> PORDO: depends what you're referring to. Some teams are more open than others.
[04:00] <mister_roboto> nicolah: that's where the repository actually is. you can check it out or "export" from that URL
[04:01] <nicolah> thanks mister_roboto
[04:01] <nicolah> it downloaded
[04:02] <atselby> pelo: done. going to log out/in now.
[04:02] <Pelo> atselby,  best of luck
[04:02] <mister_roboto> nicolah: yes, i checked it out before i told you, as a test.  looks like you're on your way :)
[04:03] <mister_roboto> nicolah: http://developer.gnome.org/tools/svn.html  that's where i found instructions
[04:03] <premier_> IndyGunFreak: as far as i can tell, the one I mentionde doesnt use a bttv, it uses ivtv
[04:03] <nicolah> thanks mister_roboto , I already compiled and installed the app
[04:04] <Meheren> I have a flashed radeon 9000 pro agp. Is there anyway to get ubuntu to reconize it?
[04:04] <mister_roboto> nicolah: what is it anyway?
[04:04] <Meheren> Mac OSX does fine... but ubuntu won't use card
[04:04] <nicolah> uhm it's a substitute tu gnome-menu
[04:04] <Pelo> Meheren, check the forum
[04:04] <nicolah> ehm
[04:04] <Meheren> ok
[04:05] <nicolah> substitute for gnome-menu
[04:05] <mister_roboto> nicolah: :)    ok
[04:05] <nicolah> uhm the svn really works better
[04:05] <nicolah> thanks
[04:06] <mister_roboto> nicolah: better than what? cvs?  it has a ton of improvements over cvs
[04:06] <nicolah> I mean
[04:06] <RoUS> anyone use a thinkpad t60p ?
[04:06] <atselby> pelo: no luck.
[04:06] <nicolah> that the svn versio of this app works better than the stable I was using
[04:06] <nicolah> =)
[04:06] <naut> What's a good webmail package for a mail server
[04:06] <atselby> gnome-bar still does not want to start.
[04:06] <mister_roboto> nicolah: ahh, ok :)
[04:07] <atselby> and it seems that i still dont have fully permissions
[04:07] <Pelo> atselby, oh, this is what we aer working one now ?
[04:07] <Pelo> on now
[04:07] <Pelo> atselby,  then don'T search for keyboard keys,  search for pannel
[04:07] <Kcowolf> hey everyone
[04:07] <atselby> pelo: yes, but what you had said was to restore my old .gconf and just replace the keyboard. i thought that might be a wy to fix it also.
[04:07] <atselby> pelo: i will do that yes.
[04:08] <atselby> pelo: oh wait here is an erorr message.
[04:08] <RoUS> new edgy desktop install seems to have weird problems.  ctrl/alt/f1 gives a black screen; if there's a text console there, i can't tell.  and 'shutdown -r now' hangs during the reboot, between the bios and the disk access.
[04:08] <atselby> pelo: No database available to save your configuration: Unable to store a value at key '/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/host-adam/0/numlock_on', as the configuration server has no writable databases.
[04:08] <Kcowolf> Need some help with xinetd; I'm getting a  "Transport endpoint is not connected" error whenever I'm trying to connect to it with vncviewer.
[04:08] <RoUS> i haven't figured out how to search for these problems in google.
[04:08] <atselby> pelo: let me look for panel in editor now
[04:08] <blargSZ> Is there a program that will get iTunes to work in Ubuntu?
[04:08] <Pelo> atselby, that is probably premission related, can't write because of no permission
[04:09] <atselby> pelo: yes i figured so.
[04:09] <Meheren> blarSZ, wine
[04:09] <atselby> pelo: /apps/panel
[04:09] <mister_roboto> RoUS: I had problems trying to install it to a machine with only 256MB RAM. are you installing to a low power machine by any chance?
[04:09] <nicolah> blargSZ, could you just use rhythmbox ?
[04:09] <atselby> pelo: huhm. what would i look for in editor? for panel.
[04:09] <RoUS> mister_roboto: 2gb ram, 2ghz+ cpu
[04:09] <blargSZ> Well, I want to be able to get new songs for my ipod.
[04:09] <Linuxnewbie756> how might i add videos to my ipod in edgy?
[04:09] <Pelo> atselby,  also try looking to see that the /home folder settings for that profile don't refere to the /home folder for the other profile
[04:09] <mister_roboto> RoUS: ok, so that's not the issue!
[04:09] <blargSZ> Via iTunes store.
[04:09] <Pelo> atselby, dunno,  stuff that turns on
[04:09] <atselby> pelo: huhm?
[04:10] <mister_roboto> RoUS: it doesn't help with identifying your problem but a workaround might be  using the alternative installation disk?
[04:10] <RoUS> mister_roboto: install and run works fine, but text consoles aren't available and the reboot is borked.  i'm more concerned about the text console issue.
[04:11] <G^Deka> for some reason when i login to gdm, it flashed a terminal then gdm just shows up again - any ideas - i am on livecd atm
[04:11] <atselby> let me try something..
[04:11] <Kcowolf> anyone with xinetd experience, I could use a bit of help
[04:11] <Linuxnewbie756> =is it official, feisty through shipit?
[04:11] <RoUS> Kcowolf: what's the prob?  might be able to help, maybe not..
[04:12] <mister_roboto> RoUS: no messages in /var/log/message?
[04:12] <freeza> hmm i found the simplest way to triple boot osx, ubuntu with lvm and windows on macbooks
[04:12] <Kcowolf> RoUS: I'm getting a  "Transport endpoint is not connected" error whenever I'm trying to connect to it with vncviewer.  I'm convinced the problem is in xinetd, not the vncserver (I started vncserver manually and it worked).
[04:12] <Linuxnewbie756> freeza: what is that>?
[04:12] <KI4CGP> for songs, I have been happy with gtkpod, but I don't have an ipod that handles anything more than music, so I'll be of little help with anything other than that
[04:13] <Linuxnewbie756> KI4CGP: amarok works better than gtkpod
[04:13] <atselby> pelo: in the account manager it all looks fine. all the paths and permissions.
[04:13] <freeza> basically you first install osx and install rEFIt
[04:13] <Linuxnewbie756> freeza: rEFIt?
[04:13] <Pelo> atselby,  but what about in gconf ?
[04:13] <KI4CGP> Linuxnewbie756, Yep, haven't used it for ipod, but it works nice for playing them
[04:13] <atselby> pelo: for the current profile?
[04:13] <G^Deka> for some reason when i login to gdm, it flashed a terminal then gdm just shows up again - any ideas - i am on livecd atm ???
[04:14] <Pelo> atselby, for the profile that isn'T working
[04:14] <freeza> yeah its an app that allows efi to boot windows and linux partitions
[04:14] <atselby> pelo: i am in it.
[04:14] <Pelo> atselby,  so check using gconf-editor , just search for /home  and see what turns up
[04:14] <RoUS> Kcowolf: what's the invocation line in the xinet.d file?  any messages in daemon.log ?
[04:14] <freeza> with easy, what it does is it gives you a gui partition selector when you first boot up, and then all you do is click on what os you want to load
[04:14] <atselby> pelo: /home. had nto tried. okay
[04:15] <atselby> pelo: not found.
[04:15] <Pelo> atselby,  doenT' work, just ried it
[04:15] <RoUS> misnix: nothing from ctrl/alt/f1 type-type-type ctrl/alt/f7
[04:15] <atselby> pelo: and nothing for permission either.
[04:15] <Pelo> so that isn'T it
[04:16] <atselby> pelo: this has to be something non editor related now that i think of it.
[04:16] <freeza> hmm ill post how i did it in the forums
[04:16] <Pelo> atselby, have you tried making a new profiles based on one that works, and then making changes ?  if that can be done
[04:16] <atselby> pelo: because i restored the original .gconf folder and just changed the one keyboard file to remove the extra entries which must have corrupted the keyboard working somehow.
[04:16] <atselby> pelo: i don't think i would know how to do that.
[04:16] <RoUS> mister_roboto: well, typing the login info (username/pw) to the ctrl/alt/f1 blank screen actually logs me in, as revealed by 'w'
[04:17] <Kcowolf> RoUS: looks like daemon.log has a bunch of lines with the same error, one sec
[04:17] <atselby> does anyone know an a way to edit permissions not throug the users and groups dialougs?
[04:17] <cellojoe> atselby: chmod
[04:17] <mister_roboto> RoUS: did you remember to his the power button on your monitor?  (ok, dumb joke)
[04:17] <Pelo> atselby,  I woudlnT' know either
[04:18] <atselby> cellojoe: chmod what?
[04:18] <atselby> cellojoe: i wouldn't know what files.
[04:18] <cellojoe> what files do you want to edit permissions for?
[04:18] <mister_roboto> RoUS: don't know offhand what would cause the text console to not display anything
[04:18] <RoUS> mister_roboto: i suspect the reboot hang and the text console problem are related
[04:18] <atselby> cellojoe: everything essentially.
[04:18] <RoUS> ah well
[04:18] <nicolah> good night guys, thanks mister_roboto
[04:19] <atselby> cellojoe: this profile appears to in those dialougs to have permission for everything etc., but however it does not when i am logged in to even run the gnome-panel.
[04:19] <atselby> somethign just occurred to me. hold on.
[04:19] <Kcowolf> RoUS: can't tell what you mean by the xinet.d file unless you mean the /etc/xinetd.d/Xvnc file
[04:19] <cellojoe> sudo chmod -R 777 /home/atselby
[04:19] <RoUS> Kcowolf: yep
[04:19] <cellojoe> atselby: what don't you have permission for? specific example
[04:20] <RoUS> Kcowolf: daemon.log errors helpful?
[04:20] <Kcowolf> RoUS: It's all just the same error I was already getting from syslog, no new ideas why I'm getting it
[04:20] <octoberdan> Is there a way to automate the creation of a package based on a makefile?
[04:21] <Kcowolf> RoUS: server = /usr/bin/Xvnc, server_args has a bunch of arguments I've already tested
[04:21] <matt3243> help! i tried to install XP on a secondary drive, and (suprise suprise) it hosed my primary ubuntu drive
[04:21] <bruenig> octoberdan, checkinstall
[04:21] <RoUS> Kcowolf: does vncserver have any sort of 'verbose' or 'debug' option?  if so, try adding it to the invocation line in Xvnc
[04:21] <bruenig> octoberdan, checkinstall won't be a package capable of being put in a repository, but will keep your system tidy
[04:21] <Kcowolf> RoUS: The problem is, I'm not sure if it's even getting to that point; I think the error might be in xinetd and not vncserver
[04:22] <matt3243> when i boot to ubuntu i just get a prompt that reads "grub"... no error messages or anything, can i bring my system back without loosing data?
[04:22] <RoUS> try telnetting to the vnc port
[04:22] <octoberdan> bruenig: Thanks man
[04:22] <Meheren> Ive seached around the forums endlessly with nothing... and i was wondering if there was anyway to get my flashed radeon 900 pro (pc card) to work with ubuntu It works flawlessly on Panther
[04:22] <atselby> cellojoe: gnome-panel, totem
[04:22] <atselby> cellojoe: are the two ive discovered in the past... hour.
[04:23] <Kcowolf> RoUS: Could not resolve localhost:5901
[04:23] <matt3243> help! i tried to install XP on a secondary drive, and (suprise suprise) it hosed my primary ubuntu drive
[04:23] <makuseru> is there any way to install ubuntu over a nework? instead of from a CD?
[04:23] <matt3243> when i boot to ubuntu i just get a prompt that reads "grub"... no error messages or anything, can i bring my system back without loosing data?
[04:23] <atselby> i just made two test accounts, one as an admin and the other as a desktop user, and they can acces gnome panel fine.
[04:23] <cellojoe> atselby: but your acct can't?
[04:23] <wick2o> in debconf id like to use a db_get netcfg/get_ipaddress and use that value as a default for questions in my custom deb
[04:23] <wick2o> is there a way to do this?
[04:24] <matt3243> ok come on, 900 people in here and nobody can help me with a grub error?
[04:24] <bruenig> !patience | matt3243
[04:24] <ubotu> matt3243: The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[04:24] <Pelo> matt3243,  it shouldnv't have ,  just make sure that your ubuntu drive is set to boot, in the bios , then you'll only have to fix  the grub menu
[04:24] <atselby> celljoe: what? im confused.
[04:24] <RoUS> Kcowolf: telnet 127.0.0.1 5901
[04:24] <atselby> cellojoe: here is an error message i get.
[04:24] <atselby> No database available to save your configuration: Unable to store a value at key '/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/host-adam/0/numlock_on', as the configuration server has no writable databases
[04:25] <matt3243> Pelo, yea, i just need help fixing the grub menu
[04:25] <atselby> cellojoe: so its going to be permission based to home right?
[04:25] <Meheren> matt3243, alot of lurkers :p.. whats' your problem again?
[04:25] <Kcowolf> says it connected
[04:25] <matt3243> i've got a ubuntu live cd
[04:25] <Pelo> matt3243,   #grub
[04:25] <matt3243> Meheren, xp hosed my drive, i'm stuck with a grub error
[04:25] <Kcowolf> RoUS: says it connected, just sitting there it looks like
[04:25] <Pelo> matt3243,  I thnk you can just reinstall grub from the live cd and it will scan your hdds for OS and make it's own menu
[04:25] <Meheren> matt3243, what's the error exactly?
[04:26] <matt3243> "grub:"
[04:26] <RoUS> Kcowolf: and does 'ps ax' show the vnc server is running?
[04:26] <Meheren> oh, that's not an error
[04:26] <Meheren> yeah try pelo's suggestion
[04:26] <matt3243> Pelo, ok, i'll boot the live cd, but i have no idea how to reinstall grub.... i really dont want to end up accidently wiping my drive or anything
[04:26] <Meheren> otherwise can you get into the grub menu?
[04:26] <RoUS> Kcowolf: check while still connected..
[04:27] <Pelo> matt3243,  it should be in the boot menu on the cd,   if not , don'T do anything and check with the ppl in #grub
[04:27] <Meheren> matt3243, i think it's like F2 or something while booting...
[04:27] <matt3243> oh, hah, didnt know there was a #grub
[04:27] <Pelo> matt3243,  thre is a #everything
[04:27] <nachox> go get grub to boot in verbose more i can press f2 right?
[04:27] <matt3243> Pelo, i'm slowly learning that :)
[04:28] <nachox> *mode
[04:28] <atselby> pelo is right matt3243: there's 3370 channels i can see right now. XD
[04:28] <bashologist> for ((i=1;i<101;i+=7)); do echo -ne "\r$i% $(tr "hjqstvxyz024" "bcdfgkopw368"<<<"Unyajvint malzare (srxm .../mal_1.1-1.1_i042.qeh) ...")"; sleep 0.5; done; echo \ ; read -p "$(tr "bcefg" "adorw"<<<"Pbssgefc:")" lol; tr "bcdfhjkoq" "aegilmnpu"<<<"Scttfkd qo jbh (1.1-1.1) ..."
[04:28] <Meheren> Ive seached around the forums endlessly with nothing... and i was wondering if there was anyway to get my flashed radeon 900 pro (pc card) to work with ubuntu It works flawlessly on Panther
[04:28] <cellojoe> atselby: make sure that you only have one .gconf in your home folder
[04:28] <atselby> cellojoe: okay.
[04:28] <cellojoe> http://tinyurl.com/2a4smz
[04:29] <Pelo> Meheren,  what did hyou search for ?
[04:29] <Kcowolf> RoUS: not sure...
[04:29] <matt3243> Pelo, i dont see anything in the boot menu for the live cd, so i guess i'll head over to #grub... thanks though
[04:29] <atselby> chellojoe: does that include .gconfd?
[04:29] <Kcowolf> RoUS: Checked and it wasn't there, disconnected, checked again and it was, and I just checked again and it was still there but had a differend pid
[04:29] <Pelo> matt3243,  check the forum for "reinstalling grub"
[04:29] <cellojoe> do you have two .gconfd files?
[04:29] <Meheren> Pelo, flashed cards, pc cards in mac, ppc cards, flashed pc video cards
[04:30] <RoUS> Kcowolf: in that case you're connecting to it from localhost through xinetd just fine.
[04:30] <NDAKOTA> are there any difference between .16 and .18 kernels
[04:30] <cellojoe> "There can only be one gconfd per home directory, and it must own a lockfile in ~/.gconfd and also lockfiles in individual storage locations such as ~/.gconf."
[04:30] <Pelo> Meheren, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
[04:30] <RoUS> Kcowolf: try using a non-localhost ip address and see if it behaves the same way
[04:30] <mister_roboto> NDAKOTA: one would hope so!
[04:30] <Pelo> Meheren,  how about searching for  just agp video ...
[04:30] <Kcowolf> RoUS: if I do xvncviewer localhost:1, it just hangs
[04:30] <atselby> cellojoe: they are directories.
[04:31] <Bender`> NAKOTA: 1 bit at the very least :-)
[04:31] <Kcowolf> RoUS: Which I think is when it's generating the "Transport endpoint not connected" errors
[04:31] <Bender`> NDAKOTA rather :p
[04:31] <arooni> hey folks !
[04:31] <cellojoe> atselby: er, do you have two .gconfd directories?
[04:31] <bruenig> !howdy | arooni
[04:31] <ubotu> arooni: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[04:31] <Meheren> Pelo, that's  great but i have no way to intsall ubunt :p
[04:31] <atselby> cellojoe: not that i see no.
[04:32] <arooni> my synaptic touchpad (on edgy 6.10 and i have a sony laptop that is) .... doesnt do vertical scrolling.... help!?!
[04:32] <atselby> celljoe: there is .gconf and .gconfd directories in my home dir.
[04:32] <cellojoe> atselby: do you have two .gconf directories?
[04:32] <Pelo> Meheren,  alternate installation cd ?  it's text based
[04:32] <NDAKOTA> oh, have the devleopers considered conflicts incurring after updating the system
[04:32] <atselby> cellojoe: again, not that i see no.
[04:32] <matt3243> Pelo, hmm, looks like the #grub channel is very quiet :)
[04:32] <cellojoe> hm
[04:32] <arrow> does anyone know of a good real time strategy game for ubuntu?  hopefully one that is in synaptic
[04:32] <Meheren> Pelo, the livecd won't reconize my card... and consequently i can't install it.. the livecd will give me a yaboot screen (on the monitor connected to card) but then all goes dead
[04:32] <bruenig> !info frozen-bubble
[04:32] <Pelo> Meheren,  alternate installation cd ?  it's text based
[04:32] <ubotu> frozen-bubble: Pop out the bubbles !. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.0.0-6ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 72 kB, installed size 356 kB
[04:33] <Meheren> Pelo, good idea :p
[04:33] <atselby> cellojoe: i did read somewhereon the form that removing the .gconf folder would force gnome to make a new one based upon the defaults which would then make everything work but lose settings right?
[04:33] <cafuego_> arrow: Not really... turn based maybe try Wesnoth (it's nice)
[04:33] <arooni> which packages do i need to install qsynaptic?
[04:33] <atselby> cellojoe: or was that topic incorrect?
[04:33] <Caribou_> hello
[04:33] <Meheren> Pelo' ill try that
[04:33] <arrow> cafuego_: Wesnoth, is that in synaptic?
[04:33] <NDAKOTA> hello, there is a bug
[04:33] <mister_roboto> NDAKOTA: is that a roundabout way of saying you're having a problem after upgrading the kernel?
[04:33] <cellojoe> atselby: i read that, too. i think you'd lose settings tho
[04:33] <cafuego_> arrow: yup
[04:34] <RoUS> Kcowolf: if the server daemon is getting started when you telnet to its port, then the problem isn't xinetd.  at least not with localhost.
[04:34] <RoUS> gotta go
[04:34] <Pelo> matt3243,  do you still have access to ubuntu ?  we can try editing grub manual
[04:34] <Pelo> manualy
[04:34] <atselby> cellojoe: if i could restore permissions i could live with it but i didnt know that permissions were kept in .gconf
[04:34] <arrow> cafuego_, I'll give 'er a shot, thanks for the suggestion
[04:34] <matt3243> Pelo, yes, i'm booting the live cd now
[04:34] <cafuego_> arrow: Actually, there is somehting, hold on
[04:34] <NDAKOTA> i hope you considered it's subtle enough of me
[04:34] <matt3243> unfortunately i've got some pro audio apps that i need windows for
[04:34] <Meheren> Pelo, mat3243, teh live cd wil lwork fine
[04:34] <mister_roboto> NDAKOTA: so far you haven't actually said anything that is informative :)
[04:34] <NDAKOTA> mister_roboto, are you ubuntu developer
[04:34] <manuel_> need help with nvidia?
[04:34] <cafuego_> arrow: glob2
[04:35] <manuel_> what's the room?
[04:35] <mister_roboto> NDAKOTA: no, i'm not
[04:35] <Kcowolf> RoUS: can I safely clear logs?  They're getting pretty big with all those errors.
[04:35] <arrow> cafuego_, nah, didn't like that one
[04:35] <arrow> thx though
[04:35] <NDAKOTA> well, I think the new bcm43xx driver should be masked
[04:35] <cafuego_> tried boson?
[04:35] <Meheren> Pelo, mat3243, but mat, if your correct in saying that it really corrupt your drive as in teh files aren't there.. then you have some problems.. but i may only have killed grub :p
[04:35] <Pelo> matt3243,  that doesn'T answer my question,  could you still boot the ubuntu installed on your hdd ?
[04:35] <cafuego_> NDAKOTA: No it shouldn't, as of 2.6.20 it works *perfectly*
[04:35] <NDAKOTA> since some users, like me are already using ndiswrapper, so when upgrading the system, they conflict with old ndiswrapper module
[04:36] <NDAKOTA> when did 2.6.20 come out
[04:36] <Pelo> Meheren,  if he installed on a seperate hdd, it shouldnT' have messed with the ubuntu hdd,  unless he installed on the wrong hdd
[04:36] <john_> hey all - when i log in to my desktop, it thinks about it for a while, starts to load things, but gives up and goes back to the login. tried with different session types. any suggestions?
[04:36] <arrow> cafuego_, have you tried multiplayer on that Wesnoth?
[04:36] <cafuego_> NDAKOTA: it's the feisty kernel.
[04:36] <cafuego_> arrow: No, not yet.
[04:36] <arrow> cafuego_: ok, just wondering
[04:37] <Meheren> Pelo, never can tell with those commercial installers...
[04:37] <mister_roboto> john_: can you log into a text console and look to see if you're getting X errors?  (/var/log/Xorg.log.0)
[04:37] <cafuego_> NDAKOTA: Either way, I don't think it's Ubuntu task to make people use windows drivers on Linux. That's a bad decision they should make on their own.
[04:37] <Meheren> Pelo, and also ive done stupid things like selecting the wrong hdd before :p
[04:37] <NDAKOTA> I updated my system a few days about then I have .16 and .18 kernel in boot screen
[04:37] <Kcowolf> RoUS: Okay... so it looks like vncserver is repeatedly starting and stopping then
[04:38] <manuel_> need help installing nvidia drivers
[04:38] <john_> mister_roboto: i'll check. unfortunately i didn't think to run irc inside an emacs shell so i'll have to brb
[04:38] <NDAKOTA> if the native driver works perfectly why would people choose to use ndiswrapper
[04:38] <Pelo> Meheren,  we've all done it,  that's how we learn ,  we aren't smart, we are just realy stupid and we've made all the stupid mistake we could make,  so now we know not to make them
[04:38] <arooni> how can i change the brightness of my lcd for my sony laptop (ubuntu 6.10)?
[04:38] <cafuego_> NDAKOTA: No idea, bad advice from people who are unable to make the native driver work?
[04:38] <Pelo> arooni,  don't you have a little nob on the side or the screen or something ?
[04:38] <manuel_> :_(
[04:39] <Meheren> Pelo, or if were really BRILLIANT we let others make stupid mistakes and tell us about it... and then learn from it
[04:39] <arooni> Pelo: i have key shortcuts to adjust brithenss but they dont do anything
[04:39] <MyG> alright.. I will not ask why I was kicked
[04:39] <matt3243> Pelo, sorry, stepped away for a minute....
[04:39] <Pelo> matt3243,  that doesn'T answer my question,  could you still boot the ubuntu installed on your hdd ?
[04:39] <atselby> can anyone here tell me where permissions for profiles/users are stored?
[04:39] <joincamp> i'm considering buying a macbook, can anyone attest to how well it works with edgy or feisty?
[04:39] <matt3243> Pelo, i tried to install XP to my ATA 80GB drive, my other drive is SATA 250GB, so i definately had the right drive
[04:39] <manuel_> @arooni: shortcuts on my acer laptop work out of the box
[04:39] <NDAKOTA> just what I learned from my expereince
[04:39] <matt3243> Pelo, no, when i tried that, i just got "GRUB" in the top left corner
[04:40] <cellojoe> atselby: If you have two gconfd processes (or had two at the time the second was launched), logging out, killing all copies of gconfd, and logging back in may help
[04:40] <MyG> Anyways. I am having problems with Kopete, I went to the site and I was directed here. When I am receiving a file, the transfer gets stuck at 100% and the transfer never completes. Any thoughts?
[04:40] <cafuego_> joincamp: last I heard it worked OK in Parallels, but the atheros wifi chip may not be supported by the madwifi drivers (yet)
[04:40] <arooni> manuel_: lucky!
[04:40] <atselby> cellojoe: do you mean two users logged in?
[04:40] <Pelo> matt3243,  did you try unplugging the windows hdd and booting just from the ubuntu one ?
[04:40] <atselby> cellojoe: or two for this one profile?
[04:40] <NDAKOTA> sata isn't any faster than IDE drivers
[04:40] <NDAKOTA> drives
[04:40] <cellojoe> two for one
[04:40] <matt3243> Pelo, no... hadnt tried that
[04:40] <CarCase928> hello, how do i edit the grub boot loader on the MBR?
[04:40] <cafuego_> NDAKOTA: I have 2 and both are fine. They work with open networks, WEP networks, WPA networks and 802.1x networks.
[04:40] <joincamp> does anyone know of a good core2duo laptop where everything worked out of the box other than a system76
[04:40] <tgcondor> question: I had raid 1 system. after updating kernel an other stuff the fs started giving problems. fsck fixed errors, says all is clean in recovery mode, but shows errors in normal mode. how to proceed?
[04:40] <atselby> cellojoe: then that's not the case here.
[04:40] <Pelo> matt3243,  hold on,  do you have the live cd booted up ?
[04:41] <matt3243> Pelo, yes
[04:41] <cellojoe> CarCase928: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:41] <atselby> cellojoe: im thinking it is not .gconf related but rather permission in general
[04:41] <Pelo> matt3243,   go into gparted, and check that your ubuntu drive is still flagged as boot
[04:41] <cellojoe> atselby: hm. you could do   chmod -R 777 ~/
[04:41] <arooni> how should i modify this file so i dont need to be root to change my brightness levels:: chasetoys@LilArooni:~$ ls -l /proc/acpi/sony/brightness -rw------- 1 root root 0 2007-04-06 19:40 /proc/acpi/sony/brightness
[04:41] <CarCase928> cellojoe: thanks a lot
[04:41] <MyG> Anyways. I am having problems with Kopete, I went to the site and I was directed here. When I am receiving a file, the transfer gets stuck at 100% and the transfer never completes. Any thoughts? I am using Ubuntu Edgy Eft
[04:41] <NDAKOTA> cafuego, I understand the developers of the bcm driver are trying to scramble the sourcecode
[04:41] <matt3243> Pelo, i'll have to install it, brb
[04:41] <cellojoe> CarCase928: there's also a simple GUI for that.
[04:41] <atselby> cellojoe: would that be wise?
[04:42] <cellojoe> atselby: not if you plan on letting others use your computer
[04:42] <Pelo> matt3243,  it is in the live cd ,   menu > system > admin > gnome partition editor
[04:42] <xelados> gThumb refuses to read the images from my digital cam anymore. I go to import images from it and get the following error:
[04:42] <xelados> An error occurred in the io-library ('Could not claim the USB device'): Could not claim interface 0 (Operation not permitted). Make sure no other program or kernel module (such as sdc2xx, stv680, spca50x) is using the device and you have read/write access to the device.
[04:42] <atselby> cellojoe: this is my own laptop so that would be safe enough then?
[04:42] <cellojoe> atselby: try a 755 first
[04:42] <matt3243> Pelo, and so it is :)
[04:42] <atselby> okay
[04:42] <cellojoe> chmod -R 755 /
[04:42] <cellojoe> chmod -R 755 ~/
[04:42] <atselby> cellojoe: would i need to logout/login?
[04:42] <CarCase928> celljoe: what is it, and where do i get it?
[04:42] <cellojoe> maybe. probably not
[04:43] <matt3243> Pelo, so the "sda2" should be the boot, not the swap, correct?
[04:43] <john_> mister_roboto: there was something about GLX not loading properly. i used envy to reinstall the drivers, but no change
[04:43] <matt3243> swap = sda1
[04:43] <arooni> any suggestions for me?
[04:43] <Pelo> matt3243,   depends on your system,   but the swap shoudnLt be a boot partition
[04:43] <cellojoe> CarCase928:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=228104
[04:43] <matt3243> right, ok, thanks
[04:43] <atselby> cellojoe: so no logout/login?
[04:43] <matt3243> Pelo, so i set the boot flag and thats it?
[04:43] <CarCase928> celljoe: thanks
[04:43] <cellojoe> atselby: if it doesnt work after chmod, then try a logout / in
[04:44] <Pelo> matt3243,  try
[04:44] <matt3243> ok
[04:44] <atselby> cellojoe: nothing. logout/login now
[04:44] <cellojoe> atselby: mk
[04:44] <Pelo> matt3243,   set the flag,   then menu > edit < apply , then close and reboot
[04:44] <mister_roboto> john_: is that near the end of the log file?
[04:44] <matt3243> mister_roboto, damnit... already rebooting
[04:44] <john_> no, 50% heh
[04:45] <mister_roboto> john_:  what happens when you "startx" from a text console?
[04:45] <mina_linux_Tux> i installed Ubuntu 6.10 alternate CD using the text installation mode on my PIII box with 96 MB of mem. always i can't get my X working , i used to login in a text mode using ALT+CTL+F2,  i checked the Xorg log found the following error http://pastebin.ca/427892 , any comment ...????
[04:45] <atselby> cellojoe: i can not log out sincei do not have a gnome-panel to access quit. is there a way via terminal?
[04:45] <Pelo> matt3243,  I dont always know the level of knowledge of ppl I am advising,  mind you ,  a simple flag may not require an apply ,so ... we'll see
[04:46] <john_> i think that envy did that for me, and it went to the login screen
[04:46] <john_> should i try from here? (recovery console)
[04:46] <|lino|> alguien que hable espa?ol
[04:46] <atselby> cellojoe: because i tried to login over it and it still did not work with chmod 755
[04:46] <|lino|> y me ayude tantito =P
[04:46] <matt3243> Pelo, no, looks like it needed the apply :) and hey, i'm more than grateful for your help
[04:46] <Meheren> is there any hack to make a firefox 2.0.0(alpha) theme work in my 2.0.0.3 version I tried installing and it says only works on firefox 1.6 - 2.0.0(alpha)
[04:46] <matt3243> this kind of repair would not be so straight forward in the windows world
[04:46] <EnsignRedshirt> !es | |lino|
[04:46] <atselby> cellojoe: should i try chmod 777?
[04:46] <ubotu> |lino|: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[04:47] <|lino|> EnsignRedshirt:  hablas espa?ol
[04:47] <bruenig> Meheren, there probably is, I know you can do that with extensions
[04:47] <|lino|> EnsignRedshirt:  do you speak spanish
[04:47] <NDAKOTA> does anyone have brandy
[04:47] <EnsignRedshirt> No (well, I guess *that* was spanish :)
[04:47] <mina_linux_Tux> hellooo
[04:47] <Meheren> bruenig, any idea where i could find it
[04:47] <bruenig> Meheren, google
[04:47] <matt3243> NDAKOTA, no, but i have something better.... shall we say.... "organic"
[04:47] <Meheren> hah... ok then
[04:47] <bruenig> Meheren, aren't themes in .jar?
[04:47] <cellojoe> atselby: /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[04:47] <cellojoe> ooor
[04:48] <cellojoe> better yet
[04:48] <EnsignRedshirt> |lino|: My high school Spanish would be too painful to try to understand.
[04:48] <mister_roboto> matt3243: milk?
[04:48] <atselby> cellojoe: just tried
[04:48] <cellojoe> Ctrl Alt Backspace. this stops X,
[04:48] <bruenig> Meheren, I think that is compiled, so you couldn't really uncompess it like you could with a theme and change the number, so it may not be the same
[04:48] <atselby> cellojoe: starting GNOME Display Manager... open: Permission denied [fail] 
[04:48] <bruenig> uncompress*
[04:48] <matt3243> mister_roboto, haha, while milk may be organic... i wasnt thinking along those lines :)
[04:48] <atselby> And how to restart X?
[04:48] <bruenig> s/theme/extension/
[04:48] <mister_roboto> matt3243: :)
[04:48] <cellojoe> atselby: you just did
[04:49] <Meheren> brueing, a theme compiled... ? odd
[04:49] <cellojoe> ctrl alt backspace == restart x
[04:49] <bruenig> Meheren, .jars are I think
[04:49] <atselby> cellojoe: okay
[04:49] <mina_linux_Tux> hey ppl, am i asking something off - topic ?
[04:49] <Meheren> bruenig, wierd
[04:49] <bruenig> !offtopic
[04:49] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[04:49] <NDAKOTA> ubuntu is also user friendly,right
[04:49] <bruenig> mina_linux_Tux, oh, no your question isn't off topic
[04:50] <mina_linux_Tux> bruenig: anything regarding it ?
[04:50] <bruenig> mina_linux_Tux, no
[04:50] <mister_roboto> mina_linux_Tux: can you paste the entire log?
[04:51] <john_> mister_roboto: doing startx from my recovery console works fine
[04:51] <mina_linux_Tux> mister_roboto: http://pastebin.ca/427892
[04:51] <matt3243> Pelo, fyi, it looks like gparted applies when you hit ok from the "manage flags" menu
[04:52] <zerothis> my eMPIA 2750 webcam shows just a black screen. is it hopeless?
[04:52] <NDAKOTA> matt3243 did you see my inquiry
[04:52] <matt3243> Pelo, i did just notice that the XP drive had the boot flag, and since there's no data there yet (that i care about) i'm removing the boot flag from it too
[04:52] <EnsignRedshirt> Can't help but laugh at this: Error opening /dev/wacom : Success
[04:52] <Pelo> matt3243,  great,  were you able to boot your ubuntu hdd ?
[04:52] <matt3243> NDAKOTA, no sorry... ?
[04:52] <Fuzzywuzzy> can anyone point me to a good ALSA HOWTO for Edgy?  I've tried the .asoundrc file from the http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=184814 thread, but it doesn't seem to like my nForce2 chipset
[04:52] <matt3243> Pelo, no unfortunately i wasnt, same "GRUB" screen
[04:52] <mister_roboto> john_: so you can log into a text console session and run startx and it runs fine, but you can't select any kind of a graphical session when you log in?
[04:52] <john_> that's right
[04:53] <john_> :<
[04:53] <mina_linux_Tux> mister_roboto: any comment ?
[04:53] <earth-dragon> hi all im having a networking prob. my wireless card seems to be functioning, it sees my wireless network, but it fails to connect. ive disabled all securety on the router so i am perplexed. any help would be appreciated
[04:53] <mister_roboto> mina_linux_Tux: yes, that's not the entire file
[04:53] <Pelo> matt3243, you'll probably just need to reinstall grub,  maybe bruenig knows how to do it from the live cd ,but I don,t know how
[04:53] <bruenig> !grub| first link
[04:53] <ubotu> first link: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[04:53] <atselby> cellojoe: it worked.
[04:53] <atselby> cellojoe: however....
[04:53] <PanzerMKZ> oh a install of server should it start buffering into available ram?
[04:53] <Pelo> praise be to bruenig
[04:54] <matt3243> bruenig, how can i reinstall grub from the live cd?
[04:54] <atselby> cellojoe: it gave me a warning upon login that i need to chmod my home directory to 644 I think. I can't recall the number but it gave me a warning.
[04:54] <mina_linux_Tux> mister_roboto: how to do so , i'm on the text mode , i did write it by hand the last few lines from tail
[04:54] <bruenig> matt3243, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[04:54] <matt3243> pelo, bruenig is a bot, right?
[04:54] <atselby> cellojoe: thanks for your help
[04:54] <NDAKOTA> you need to edit the default graphical session
[04:54] <bruenig> hmmm
[04:54] <mister_roboto> john_: and you're just logging in as your own id every time, right?
[04:54] <matt3243> if not, my appologies :)
[04:54] <Pelo> matt3243,  no bruenig is a person,  ubotu is the bot
[04:54] <cellojoe> atselby: you don't remember the important error message?
[04:54] <john_> yes - i guess i should try another user
[04:54] <john_> brb
[04:54] <Pelo> bruenig,  get a personnality please
[04:54] <mister_roboto> NDAKOTA: he said he's selecting the various graphical logins and they are all failing
[04:54] <matt3243> lol
[04:54] <atselby> cellojoe: uhm, it was about 5 minutes ago and i got distracted with something else for a moment.
[04:55] <matt3243> sorry bruenig
[04:55] <atselby> cellojoe: hold on.
[04:55] <mina_linux_Tux> mister_roboto: is there a way to get the entire log to pastebin from the text mode ?
[04:55] <Puppy__> I need help with Opera. I went into add/remove and installed Opera, but it had an error. can anyone help me?
[04:56] <bruenig> Puppy__, did you get mozilla-mplayer working
[04:56] <Puppy__> hey! not yet. lol
[04:56] <atselby> here is what it was
[04:56] <atselby> user's home/.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default session and language from being saved. File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions. user's home directory must be owned by user and not writable by other user's
[04:56] <Puppy__> bruenig, can I pm?
[04:56] <bruenig> !pm
[04:56] <ubotu> Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude.
[04:56] <atselby> cellojoe: should i just chmod it like it says?
[04:56] <NDAKOTA> mister_roboto, that must be due to anomaly during kernel compilation
[04:56] <wick2o>  debconf, is there a way to do dynamic defaults?
[04:56] <mister_roboto> mina_linux_Tux: I also get errors about the wacom device but X works fine so I think those are not relevant to your problem. regarding the full paste... hmmm  i don't know
[04:56] <bruenig> Puppy__, did you sudo apt-get remove totem-mozilla
[04:56] <Pelo> g'night folkd
[04:56] <Pelo> folks
[04:57] <Puppy__> bruenig, yup, it did that ok.
[04:57] <atselby> pelo: night and thanks for your help. im all back now. :)
[04:57] <cellojoe> atselby: i would.
[04:57] <atselby> cellojoe: okay. all should be fine now. thanks.
[04:57] <cellojoe> atselby: if it stops working again, you know how to fix it
[04:57] <atselby> cellojoe: yep.
[04:57] <wick2o> im tring to do a db_get netcfg/get_ipaddress and use that value for a default of db_input critical custom-deb/new_ip
[04:57] <mina_linux_Tux> mister_roboto: i'll try and come back
[04:57] <matt3243> nothing like a bottle of Duvel while reinstalling grub on a friday night :)
[04:57] <cellojoe> matt3243: +1
[04:57] <Puppy__> bruenig, what do I do now?
[04:57] <mister_roboto> NDAKOTA: how did you arrive at that conclusion?!
[04:57] <doshi> why is gnomeicu not runnin in ubuntu anymore?
[04:58] <bruenig> Puppy__, sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer (just to be sure)
[04:58] <matt3243> cellojoe, w0rd
[04:58] <NDAKOTA> out of my years of experience
[04:58] <SomaFM> !raid1
[04:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about raid1 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[04:58] <ubotu> Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[04:58] <mina_linux_Tux> mister_roboto: BTW what's wacom , and isn't the problem concerned with the error of fonts loading at the end of what i did paste
[04:58] <mister_roboto> NDAKOTA: year of wanking experience don't count
[04:58] <matt3243> belgian ales ftw
[04:59] <Puppy__> bruenig: it said that it was already installed (i think).
[04:59] <octoberdan> bruenig: By chance do you know what the requirement syntax is for checkinstall? Can't find it on google or the man pages
[04:59] <bruenig> Puppy__, ok so does it not work in firefox?
[04:59] <NDAKOTA> does anyone drink brandy
[04:59] <bruenig> octoberdan, instead of doing sudo make install, you do sudo checkinstall
[04:59] <CarlFK> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14330  can someone A) read the 3 lines of instructions and tell me if they make sense. B) do it and tell me if it behaves as described.
[04:59] <mina_linux_Tux> mister_roboto: ...?
[04:59] <Puppy__> bruenig, let me check
[04:59] <matt3243> NDAKOTA.... old men do
[04:59] <bruenig> octoberdan, so go through your ./configure and make and then do checkinstall
[04:59] <mister_roboto> mina_linux_Tux: i think wacom is a tablet input device
[05:00] <NDAKOTA> i mean what else can you do while waiting for the tedious compilation to complete
[05:00] <mister_roboto> mina_linux_Tux: and not being able to load a few fonts is not going to stop X from working
[05:00] <atselby> Night all.
[05:00] <mister_roboto> mina_linux_Tux: I have some fonts that fail to load too because they are not installed
[05:00] <matt3243> NDAKOTA, um, smoke a J?
[05:00] <mina_linux_Tux> mister_roboto: ok i'll check and come
[05:00] <john_> mister_roboto: yes - i can log in with other users fine >:|
[05:00] <octoberdan> bruenig: Right.. but what I'm looking for is how to dictate dependencies. There's an option for "requirements", but it seems to ignore what I try to put in it
[05:01] <NDAKOTA> yea, but that only lasts for a few minutes
[05:01] <john_> how do i clear xsession prefs, or whatever?
[05:01] <mister_roboto> john_: you mean it's only one particular user who can't log in graphically?
[05:01] <john_> mister_roboto: yes
[05:01] <eternaljoy> if a person uses cable instead of ADSL, does it matter how far they live from the exchange? will that affect speeds?
[05:01] <bruenig> octoberdan, right like I said, all this is meant to do is track where the files go with dpgk so they can be easily uninstalled keeping the system tidy, it is not meant for packaging real debs that might be used in repositories or some other place
[05:01] <matt3243> NDAKOTA, no, the other kind of "J"
[05:01] <bruenig> s/dpgk/dpkg
[05:01] <octoberdan> bruenig: Ah, sorry, thanks
[05:01] <jterrero> can someone help me out with something i was asking about earlier...
[05:01] <eternaljoy> bruenig: you would know :)
[05:02] <mister_roboto> john_: ok, that sounds like a corruption in one of the private config directories (~/.*)  unfortunately, I don't know how to identify which one.
[05:02] <jterrero> mounting an ntfs drive
[05:02] <Derek__> Hey, I have a question.  I just installed ubuntu yesterday, and I downloaded and applied some updates just now, but now when I boot into ubuntu and log in, the screen goes black for a second as if the operating system is going to come up, but then it goes right back to the login screen.  I tried booting to the older kernel, but the same thing happens
[05:02] <jterrero> it mounts fine
[05:02] <jterrero> access is denied though
[05:02] <bruenig> octoberdan, you could create it using checkinstall, and then extract the deb and edit the control file
[05:02] <john_> mister_roboto: yeah - i looked through them just now, none struck me as being x related...
[05:02] <john_> does anyone know which config directory is used for x?
[05:02] <SaxUz> jterrero: access is only denied when writing?
[05:02] <eternaljoy> Derek__:  did you change your resolution etc?
[05:03] <Puppy__> bruenig, it does not work. But maybe I misunderstand what the mplayer plugin will do. When I clicked on a online radio station, it would not work. But when I clicked the FAQ it said it would work with the mplayer plugin. So I guess it would work?
[05:03] <Derek__> No I didn't
[05:03] <mister_roboto> john_: many are   (.gnome*, .kde)
[05:03] <jterrero> no, when i changed to its directory
[05:03] <jterrero> i cant read
[05:03] <john_> oh there was a .gnome
[05:03] <bruenig> Puppy__, link me
[05:03] <Derek__> everything happens like normal, but instead of the gui coming up after I log in, it asks me to log in again
[05:03] <Derek__> I tried adding a new user account and using that one, but the same thing happens
[05:03] <matt3243> bruenig, ok, i followed the instructions for reinstalling grub....
[05:03] <octoberdan> Good idea
[05:03] <mister_roboto> john_: .emerald (if you're using beryl)
[05:03] <eternaljoy> Derek__: sounds like its got trouble with your video settings
[05:03] <john_> mister_roboto: both gnome and beryl didn't work
[05:04] <bruenig> matt3243, and it failed or what?
[05:04] <Derek__> what could I do to diagnose/fix that?
[05:04] <Puppy__> bruenig: http://www.kfyi.com/cc-common/streaming_new/faq.html
[05:04] <matt3243> bruenig, i got an "error 6: mismatched or corupt version of stage1/stage2" after the "setup (hd1,1)" command though

[05:04] <bruenig> matt3243, out of my field
[05:04] <matt3243> god damn windows
[05:04] <eternaljoy> Derek__: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:04] <mister_roboto> john_: I would try renaming the ".gnome" dir and try again. it should get recreated. i never start by removing such dirs, in case i make a mistake :)
[05:04] <kikin> i can't :(
[05:04] <john_> mister_roboto: i'll give it a shot
[05:05] <Fuzzywuzzy> anyone familiar with getting surround sound to work in ALSA under Edgy?
[05:05] <kikin> how can i install backtrack in my hd ?
[05:05] <bruenig> Puppy__, do you have a link to an actual stream
[05:05] <Derek__> just type that?A
[05:05] <matt3243> bruenig..... odd, i just ran it again and now it worked
[05:05] <eternaljoy> Fuzzywuzzy: do the girls get a motivation to hug you?
[05:05] <jterrero> can someone please help me :(, I used "sudo mount /mnt/sdb1 /mnt/vista", it mounts fine but when i try to change to that directory, it tells me permision denied
[05:05] <cellojoe> someone echo PASTE
[05:05] <chuck_tx> Anybody on now know if there is a log that the installer makes a log file or one for the gnome partitioner?
[05:05] <bruenig> cellojoe, what
[05:05] <cellojoe> just say paste
[05:05] <cellojoe> "PASTE"
[05:06] <bruenig> PASTE
[05:06] <cellojoe> thanks
[05:06] <cellojoe> (testing /hilight)
[05:06] <chuck_tx> anyone know if there is a log created by the gnome partitioner?
[05:06] <Derek__> eternaljoy: what will that command do?
[05:07] <aoirthoir> http://iknowjack.com/pages/190917.php
[05:07] <jterrero> can someone please help me :(, I used "sudo mount /mnt/sdb1 /mnt/vista", it mounts fine but when i try to change to that directory, it tells me permision denied... if anyone can help me, please msg me
[05:07] <jterrero> thanks
[05:07] <eternaljoy> Derek__: try and see
[05:07] <SurfnKid> whats a good AVI encoder to DVD
[05:07] <SurfnKid> on linux?
[05:07] <mister_roboto> jterrero: you mean "/dev/sdb1" right?
[05:07] <kikin> How can I install backtrack in my hard disk?
[05:07] <Puppy__> bruenig, sorry I don't know how to do that.
[05:07] <Derek__> ok, thanks.  I'll come back if there's no luck
[05:07] <eternaljoy> Derek__:  reconfgure your video settings etc
[05:07] <cafuego_> SurfnKid: ffmpeg
[05:07] <payan> my interface eth0 starts always down
[05:07] <eternaljoy> Derek__: boot to CLI
[05:07] <payan> what can i do?
[05:07] <Puppy__> lol
[05:07] <bruenig> chuck_tx, don't believe so, it is a front end for "parted" and none of the docs on parted mention a log, so I would imagine not
[05:08] <Kcowolf> hmmmm
[05:08] <Kcowolf> very interesting
[05:08] <Kcowolf> Anyone around who's familiar with vncserver?
[05:08] <SurfnKid> cafuego, that'll encode avi to mpeg?
[05:08] <bruenig> Puppy__, just link me to a page where I can click on something that will allow me to supposedly hear the radio stream
[05:08] <SurfnKid> Kcowolf, me
[05:08] <bruenig> Puppy__, oh nevermind, didn't see the giant listen live
[05:09] <chuck_tx> bruenig: any idea why the installer would crash when it gets to this point?
[05:09] <bruenig> Puppy__, it works for me
[05:09] <Kcowolf> SurfnKid: I'm trying to make it work with XDMCP and xinetd.  Trying to run vncserver manually, it looked like the server fails I use the -inetd switch.
[05:09] <thepumpkin1979> hey guys, how could I Search a specific text in all text files in all subdirectories?
[05:09] <bruenig> chuck_tx, not sure, you could try the alternate
[05:09] <ajmorris_> how do i add a startup script to Xchat-gnome?
[05:09] <bruenig> !alternate | chuck_tx
[05:09] <ubotu> chuck_tx: 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.
[05:09] <bruenig> who uses xchat-gnome
[05:09] <SurfnKid> not me
[05:09] <SurfnKid> xchat2
[05:09] <Puppy__> http://www.streamingradioguide.com/streaming-radio.php?format=3&radio-format=Sports click on the first second listen.
[05:10] <Puppy__> *second
[05:10] <bruenig> Puppy__, michael savage, wow
[05:10] <SurfnKid> Kcowolf, are you trying to connect to vnc ? is this a linux box
[05:10] <Puppy__> bruenig, lol
[05:10] <wilo> hey guys
[05:10] <chuck_tx> bruenig: I'm trying to use the Live CD & that's what's crashing
[05:11] <Kcowolf> SurfnKid: I'm trying to set up my linux box (really a virtual machine, but it'll behave the same way) so I can connect to it via VNC
[05:11] <wilo> is their a problem with ubuntu upgrade server?
[05:11] <bruenig> chuck_tx, right, you may want to go with the text installer, the alternate cd
[05:11] <Puppy__> bruenig, how come it won't work for me?
[05:11] <icicled> what's the package that will make kde apps look like gnome ones ?
[05:11] <bruenig> Puppy__, ok do this "ls /usr/lib/firefox/plugins" and paste the output of that in the pastebin
[05:11] <bruenig> !pastebin | Puppy__
[05:11] <ubotu> Puppy__: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[05:11] <SurfnKid> Kcowolf, not too familiar with XDCMP
[05:11] <SurfnKid> XDMCP err
[05:12] <john_> mister_roboto: tried .gnome, .emereld, .beryl, .nautilus, moving them to a _old. no change :\
[05:12] <Kcowolf> hmm
[05:12] <ctothej> icicled: make them look like gnome apps? or just run on gnome?
[05:12] <Kcowolf> SurfnKid: It seemed like I got to the point where it was trying to connect, but the server may have been restarting repeatedly
[05:12] <icicled> ctothej, make them look like it (the styles, buttons, tabs, scrollbars, etc)
[05:12] <Puppy__> brunig, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14331/
[05:13] <ctothej> icicled: oh, interesting. i didnt know there existed such a package.
[05:13] <dak> whats the diff between ubuntu and kubuntu ? just that kubuntu uses kde ?
[05:13] <icicled> i know there is one which will make gtk apps look like kde ones, but i want the other way around
[05:13] <bruenig> Puppy__, well it is clear you have mplayer
[05:13] <Kcowolf> SurfnKid: What's more obnoxious is that I had this all working really nicely, but my college emailed me and told me the vnc4server I was using had a security vulnerability, so I'm trying to do this with the older version 3
[05:13] <SurfnKid> Kcowolf, Ive connected to a Dapper box with no problems, its trying to connect back to this machine (Edgy) that crashes the vncviewer
[05:13] <bruenig> Puppy__, http://www.kfyi.com/pages/stream.html click on that stream, and tell me what happens
[05:13] <SurfnKid> oh
[05:13] <Kcowolf> SurfnKid: Yeah, my virtual machine is Dapper
[05:14] <mina_linux_Tux> mister_roboto: http://pastebin.ca/427929
[05:14] <bruenig> dak, yeah
[05:14] <dak> anyone ?
[05:14] <SurfnKid> that's one of my projects on the "to do list"
[05:14] <cafuego_> Kcowolf: If you tunnel vnc over ssh, security issues are moot.
[05:14] <bruenig> dak, same base, different desktop environment
[05:14] <SurfnKid> dak, iirc yes
[05:14] <phatrabbit> whats good app to play mp3s on ubuntu
[05:14] <dak> so you cant kde kde in ubuntu ?
[05:14] <spasticteapot> Amarok?
[05:14] <dak> im a debian user
[05:14] <icicled> amarok
[05:14] <phatrabbit> and play movies that has heaps of codecs
[05:14] <dak> have been for long time just want to know
[05:14] <spasticteapot> phatrabbit: Amarok is good.
[05:14] <SurfnKid> phaedral, amarok, xmms,moc
[05:14] <phatrabbit> ta
[05:14] <cafuego_> dak: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[05:14] <Kcowolf> cafuego_: How would I do that such that my college doesn't detect that I'm running vnc4server?
[05:14] <matt3243> phatrabbit, VLC is nice and light, amarok is more like itunes
[05:15] <Puppy__> bruenig, I got to the page and could not click listen.
[05:15] <matt3243> VLC is kinda like winamp
[05:15] <phatrabbit> oh yer i want somthing light
[05:15] <bruenig> Puppy__, what happens when you click it
[05:15] <icicled> Kcowolf, only let your computer connect to the ports vnc runs on
[05:15] <cafuego_> Kcowolf: 'ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900 remotebox'
[05:15] <mister_roboto> john_: .fonts, .fontconfig, .qt?   sorry, you're on your own at this point. if you can't track it down through the use of /var/log/Xorg.log.0, /var/log/messages, and hacking at the config dirs, you might try just creating a new user and migrating the old files to it. that's a last resort though
[05:15] <mina_linux_Tux> mister_roboto: these are all the errors that are in the log file , any comment ?
[05:15] <whaleofconfusion> my flash player is not working
[05:15] <icicled> Kcowolf, iptables, look @ firestarter pacakage
[05:15] <dak> thanks cafuego i know apt
[05:15] <cafuego_> Kcowolf: Then run vncviewer localhost, and ssh will tunnel it to remotebox
[05:15] <icicled> or that
[05:15] <icicled> =] 
[05:15] <dak> just trying to see why id want to use ubuntu over debian
[05:15] <dak> dunno
[05:15] <Epic720Admin> I have derived that I detest Kde and want to uninstall it and then install gnome. How can I do that?
[05:15] <cafuego_> Kcowolf: So it need to listen on external interfaces at all, hyst ssh.
[05:15] <whaleofconfusion> it will start the movie but it doesn't play
[05:16] <Puppy__> bruenig, nothing. I think it is a Java script/Firefox problem, not a media player thing.
[05:16] <icicled> dak, no reason besides initial ease of setup
[05:16] <cafuego_> dak: Somewhat more up-to-date desktop-relevant packages.
[05:16] <whaleofconfusion> I can do "forward" to skip forward frame by frame but of course that's inadequate
[05:16] <Kcowolf> I'll be remoting in from a Windows box, does that make any difference?
[05:16] <icicled> dak, that & a few up to date packages
[05:16] <bruenig> Puppy__, edit>preferences then go to content make sure the javascript stuff is enabled
[05:16] <cafuego_> Kcowolf: putty will happily tunnel over ssh for you, too.
[05:16] <Ubuntu_noob> Hi, I need help with the startup error.
[05:16] <icicled> make that a lot of uptodate packages
[05:16] <dak> icicled i use sid
[05:16] <dak> see thing is
[05:16] <icicled> well then, nm :P
[05:16] <dak> i want to beable to have the latest packages
[05:17] <dak> does ubuntu have a sid type branch ?
[05:17] <icicled> yea
[05:17] <icicled> fiesty fawn
[05:17] <mina_linux_Tux> mister_roboto: hey are you there
[05:17] <cafuego_> dak: Not really.
[05:17] <icicled> the next release, it's in test mode
[05:17] <dak> how am i told yes and then not really
[05:17] <dak> k
[05:17] <mister_roboto> mina_linux_Tux: yes, looking at it
[05:17] <icicled> not ready for full release
[05:17] <cafuego_> dak: Whenever a release is made, a new testing is forked off. there is no perprtual unstable.
[05:17] <dak> so its like testing branch in debian
[05:17] <Kcowolf> cafuego_: okay, let me see if I get this.  ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900 remotebox has to be run on the Dapper box, right?
[05:18] <dak> ah ok cafuego
[05:18] <cafuego_> Kcowolf: Nono, the dapper box just runs vncserver
[05:18] <icicled> yea more or less, the good thing with ubuntu is that there's a major release every 6 months (i think)
[05:18] <icicled> kinda guaranteed to be stable
[05:18] <mina_linux_Tux> mister_roboto: if it's AIGLX the reason , is there a way to disable it ?
[05:18] <Kcowolf> cafuego_: Then will my college IT department be able to find out that I'm running the server?
[05:18] <cafuego_> Kcowolf: On Windows, in putty, you ssh to the dapper box and you set up a tunnel for port 5900.
[05:18] <icicled> maybe not rock solid as debian's stable, but almost there
[05:19] <cafuego_> Kcowolf: No, because you make the server listen on 127.0.0.1, ONLY
[05:19] <Kcowolf> *understanding begins to arrive*
[05:19] <dak> why do they have kubuntu and just normal ubuntu ? like why have 2 distro's just because one is kde and one is gnome
[05:19] <dak> just i dunno
[05:19] <bruenig> dak, it is the same exact base, it is just a different DE
[05:19] <Ubuntu_noob> Can someone please hlep me with the following http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14327/ ?
[05:19] <cafuego_> dak: So it conveniently fits onto a single CD iso. Just a matter of naming.
[05:19] <icicled> what bruenig just said
[05:19] <dak> ah
[05:20] <icicled> you can always do `aptitude install {,k,x}ubuntu-desktop to install gnome,kde, & xfce desktops
[05:20] <cafuego_> dak: Anyway, with ubuntu, if you run `stable', you end up with pretty new packages and a certain amount of stability. It doesn't break in some of the major ways sid does sometimes.
[05:20] <mister_roboto> mina_linux_Tux: i think you can just comment out the line: Load "glx"  in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:21] <dak> ya
[05:21] <mister_roboto> mina_linux_Tux: have you tried reconfiguring your X with "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"?
[05:21] <dak> i dunno i have good luck with sid most the time
[05:21] <dak> been using sid for atleast 8 years
[05:21] <Puppy__> bruenig: I am checking my other extentions to see if theres any inexperienced going on with them
[05:21] <cafuego_> dak: Releases are scheduled to be a month and a bit after Gnome releases, so you end up always using the latest stable gnome.
[05:21] <dak> on most of my pc's
[05:21] <dak> i just like it cuz it has the latest packages
[05:21] <bruenig> sid is 8 years old?
[05:21] <cafuego_> dak: Well, for example the sid pam brokenness from 2005 - you won't get that :-)
[05:21] <Kcowolf> dang it, this used to be so much easier
[05:21] <dak> uhm do they have a x64 ver of Feisty Fawn?
[05:21] <dak> ya
[05:21] <cafuego_> dak: Yes, I'm running it now.
[05:22] <dak> and lilo in like 03
[05:22] <bruenig> cafuego, just broken xservers :)
[05:22] <dak> they have it on iso caf?
[05:22] <Kcowolf> A few years ago, I don't remember you having to do anything with XDMCP at all to get vncserver to force new logins every time
[05:22] <cafuego_> bruenig: Ah, who needs x servers anyway ;-)
[05:22] <mina_linux_Tux> mister_roboto: no i didn't , but do u think it's the reason ? and is it important  to have the ability of GLX rendenring ?
[05:22] <cafuego_> dak: Yup, there are amd64 isos.
[05:22] <spasticteapot> cafuego_: They're overrated.
[05:22] <mina_linux_Tux> mister_roboto: to start X ?
[05:23] <SurfnKid> cafuego, need your help
[05:23] <cafuego_> dak: http://releases.ubuntu.com/feisty/ubuntu-7.04-beta-alternate-amd64.iso
[05:23] <dak> thanks
[05:23] <SurfnKid> i sent a  command for ffmpeg
[05:23] <mister_roboto> mina_linux_Tux: no, it's not necessary. only if you want 3d or any opengl stuff
[05:23] <dak> the unbuntu website should have that ver on the download page
[05:23] <dak> dunno
[05:23] <cafuego_> dak: The `alternative' use d-i, not that livecd monstrosity.
[05:23] <SurfnKid> cafuego, i set the source, type of format (dvd) and destination
[05:23] <cafuego_> dak: No, as it's not stable yet.
[05:23] <cafuego_> SurfnKid: *nod*
[05:23] <SurfnKid> cafuego, but asks for tv standard
[05:24] <mina_linux_Tux> mister_roboto: no i don't, but do u think it's the reason that makes X not starting ?
[05:24] <dak> yeah i dont want stable
[05:24] <cafuego_> SurfnKid: Yeah, you need to specify pal or ntfs
[05:24] <Kcowolf> Really, all I'm trying to do is to get it so that I can log into Ubuntu from any other computer and make anyone who tries to log in enter a new username and password every time
[05:24] <cafuego_> ntsc, sorry
[05:24] <SurfnKid> would it be -tvstd NTSC?
[05:24] <mina_linux_Tux> mister_roboto: and nothing related to this Security policy ?
[05:24] <spasticteapot> dak: I'm using Feisty.
[05:24] <SurfnKid> is that at the end of ffmpeg or at the beg
[05:24] <spasticteapot> I'md debating re-naming it "Ubuntu Awesome". Because it is.
[05:24] <Puppy__> bruenig, it is still not working.
[05:24] <Kcowolf> (i.e. instead of resuming a session that I start before I leave the room)
[05:24] <Absorto> I setup a custom kernel in my gurb's menu.lst with a 3 appended to the kernel line, so that it will boot to runlevel 3. However it boots to runlevel two. How can I get it to boot to init 3?
[05:24] <cafuego_> SurfnKid: output, so dvd-ntsc (or ntsc-dvd)
[05:24] <bruenig> Puppy__, whatever
[05:24] <mister_roboto> mina_linux_Tux: i have no idea what that is about. it's possible. i don't know
[05:25] <mon^rch> nickserv identify rootpassword
[05:25] <mon^rch> oops
[05:25] <cafuego_> h4x!
[05:25] <DoubtlessDan> lol
[05:25] <DoubtlessDan> oops!
[05:25] <SurfnKid> cafuego, can you read my pm
[05:25] <mon^rch> and now everybody knows :(
[05:25] <cafuego_> SurfnKid: Nope
[05:25] <Kcowolf> Anyone tried FreeNX before and know if that would accomplish what I'm trying to do?
[05:26] <cafuego_> mon^rch: just change it
[05:26] <cafuego_> mon^rch: btw, don't use your root password on irc ;-)
[05:26] <mister_roboto> Absorto: you can type "3" on the parameter line when it's going to boot in grub
[05:26] <SurfnKid> cafuego, here's what i did,  ffmpeg -i /source -target dvd /tmp/target
[05:26] <mon^rch> I don't
[05:26] <cafuego_> SurfnKid: Are you converting from dvd to avi or the othr way around?
[05:27] <SurfnKid> otherway
[05:27] <Puppy__> bruenig, thanks for all the help!
[05:27] <Absorto> mister_roboto, but can I set it up so that whenever I choose that kernel it automatically boots to runlevel 3, without typing it in?
[05:27] <Derek__> Alright, so now when I try to boot, I don't even see the login screen anymore.  It is just black like before.  I tried reinstalling my video driver, but it was up to date.  I'm not sure what to do
[05:28] <SurfnKid> cafuego, this is their example "ffmpeg -i myfile.avi -target vcd /tmp/vcd.mpg"
[05:28] <SurfnKid> cafuego, so i replaced vcd with dvd
[05:28] <cafuego_> SurfnKid: ffmpeg -i  foo.avi -target ntsc-dvd foo.vob
[05:29] <earth-dragon> so im having a weird problem, i can ping my wireless router from my wireless card, but cannot connect
[05:29] <cafuego_> I'm prtty sure that's how it works.
[05:29] <SurfnKid> oh
[05:29] <SurfnKid> leme try
[05:29] <julio> What program is recommended for converting RMVB files to Ogg Theora?
[05:29] <mister_roboto> Absorto: probably on the /boot/menu.lst "kernel" entry that you're trying to boot. offhand, I don't know what the argument is. you should be able to find it in the grub man page though
[05:29] <cafuego_> that gives me mpeg2video, yuv420p, 720x480, q=2-31, 6000 kb/s 29.97 fps (c) and ac3, 48000 Hz, stereo, 448 kb/s
[05:29] <SurfnKid> nice
[05:29] <SurfnKid> then you burn the vob to a dvd as data?
[05:30] <cafuego_> I've not ever done that (I only convert to h264 for iPod)
[05:30] <cafuego_> SurfnKid: But I do expect that to be the idea, yes.
[05:30] <Derek__> Is there any way to revert back to the version of linux I was booting to berore I installed the upadate?
[05:30] <SurfnKid> cafuego, whoa its working
[05:30] <cafuego_> SurfnKid: You might want to add a '-f vob' in there too.
[05:30] <SurfnKid> :D
[05:30] <SurfnKid> ok
[05:31] <cafuego_> I don't know if it will auto-split the vob at 2GB
[05:31] <SurfnKid> its a 600mb file its ok im gonna use a 4.3gb disc
[05:32] <spasticteapot> Ogg Theora?
[05:32] <spasticteapot> ?
[05:32] <SurfnKid> cafuego, ok its coding woohoo
[05:32] <SurfnKid> thx
[05:32] <cafuego_> SurfnKid: it'll fit, but the DVD standard doesn't allow for files > 2GB
[05:32] <LawfulGood> What program is recommended for converting RMVB files to Ogg Theora?
[05:32] <SurfnKid> ah
[05:32] <cafuego_> SurfnKid: Check any DVD you own, the larger files are all split.
[05:33] <Derek__> Can anyone help me with this problem of booting to a black screen?
[05:33] <bruenig> just use split
[05:33] <SurfnKid> yes .999GB or something
[05:33] <mister_roboto> Absorto: looks like you can just add the runlevel to the end of the "kernel" line
[05:33] <cafuego_> SurfnKid: probably an iso9660 restriction (After all, it was invented for discs up to 700Mb)
[05:33] <SurfnKid> i assume itll split it if not i'll read into it
[05:33] <mister_roboto> Absorto: like single, 2, 3, 5, <whatever>
[05:33] <scubasteve_> has anyone disabled shift+backspace from restarting XGL?
[05:33] <SurfnKid> just weird that ntsc-dvd is not in the man file (gonna look again)
[05:33] <arooni> what is the bestg gmail notifier
[05:34] <arooni> for ubuntu 6.10?
[05:34] <SurfnKid> scubasteve_, yes
[05:34] <bruenig> scubasteve_, #ubuntu-effects
[05:34] <kikin> Where can i get help about backtrack ?!?!?!?!
[05:34] <bruenig> !info gmail-notify | arooni
[05:34] <cmillard> Hey guys, I need some leads, forums haven't helped.  xorg process eats 100% cpu when drawing windows (switching tabs, dragging, etc.).  AMD 4000+, 8800gts, newest nvidia drivers from envy.  Recently upgraded video card, nvidia drivers, and xorg.
[05:34] <SurfnKid> scubasteve_, google xmodmap backspace itll show you the code to add
[05:34] <ubotu> arooni: gmail-notify: gmail new mail notifier. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.6.1-0ubuntu2 (edgy), package size 23 kB, installed size 200 kB
[05:34] <mister_roboto> arooni: i like the firefox plugin http://www.longfocus.com/firefox/gmanager/
[05:35] <hyperactivecrond> cmillard: are you running XGL?
[05:35] <cafuego_> SurfnKid: tfrom the usage output: -target type        specify target file type ("vcd", "svcd", "dvd", "dv", "dv50", "pal-vcd", "ntsc-svcd", ...)
[05:35] <cmillard> Nope, straight xorg
[05:35] <SurfnKid> wth...
[05:37] <SurfnKid> cafuego, oh right ntsc-svcd but not ntsc-dvd
[05:37] <cmillard> hyperactivecrond:  I'd think it's normal xorg processing, but it's reeeally bad.  Obnoxiously bad.  I guess I could try XGL, but I do wonder what the root problem is
[05:37] <cafuego_> SurfnKid: That's implied in the '...'
[05:37] <hyperactivecrond> cmillard: don't try xgl
[05:37] <arooni> is there a better power management system for my sony laptop than gnome?  or should i just wait for feisty fawn
[05:37] <WhoKnows> I have a laptop that can't load speedstep-smi properly and I went to a page that says to find out what setting you need for gpo_hilo, and I found out that it is bit 23
[05:37] <SurfnKid> hmm
[05:38] <WhoKnows> where do I set gpo_hilo? it says I need to patch cpufreq
[05:38] <WhoKnows> I'm so lost... I just want to have cpu frequency scaling
[05:38] <cmillard> hyperactivecrond: Can you think of anything that would make 2d rendering that slow for xorg?  3-D stuff is great.
[05:38] <SurfnKid> i see :)
[05:39] <hyperactivecrond> cmillard: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and re-configure your xserver it may help
[05:39] <bwlang> opera seems to have stopped working in the most recent feisty ... (using the static deb from opera.com)  anybody else see this or is it a local problem?
[05:39] <DoubtlessDan> bwlang: I got that problem too
[05:39] <cmillard> hyperactivecrond:  I'm willing to buy that the newest nvidia drivers are causing the problem, being that the 8800gts is new, but I hate giving up
[05:39] <Fuzzywuzzy> OK, I just plopped down $170 on surround sound speakers for my mythbox, but for some reason speaker-test only plays tone for my front channel.  Anyone familiar with how Edgy handles ALSA?
[05:39] <bwlang> DoubtlessDan: no solution i guess - you see the segfault when running at the command line?
[05:39] <SurfnKid> cafuego, i guess i would have had to give that a try to see if it would work :P
[05:40] <cmillard> hyperactivecrond: I believe envy did that when I installed the drivers, but I'll try running it directly
[05:40] <hyperactivecrond> cmillard: do you _need_ the nvidia drivers? (3d gaming, etc.)
[05:40] <cmillard> hyperactivecrond: Yup, Quake 4 ;)
[05:40] <DoubtlessDan> bwlang: Nah, I just ran it, saw there was an error, and got lazy and decided to use Firefox until Fiesty comes out and the Opera people compile a version for Feisty. :P
[05:40] <hyperactivecrond> cmillard: yeah it might be the driver.. did you do sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx?
[05:41] <cmillard> hyperactivecrond: Tried those previously, they don't work with the geforce 8xxx series, had to use envy as the latest aren't in edgy's repositories yet
[05:42] <SurfnKid> cafuego, gonna wait till it encodes and see, ill holler if anything thx
[05:43] <hyperactivecrond> cmillard: :\ maybe try the second-newest nvidia driver
[05:45] <cmillard> hyperactivecrond: *laughs* That's an idea!  I'm trying the reconfigure, I'll see how different it is
[05:46] <audiorecord> hi
[05:46] <phatrabbit> damm vlc is nice
[05:46] <jsievert> need some help with sound
[05:46] <audiorecord> anyone tell me how i can record what is playing right now on my laptop
[05:47] <jsievert> something changed and now i do not get any sound after I login
[05:47] <audiorecord> jsievert, i faced that problem once, and found that the volume was low!
[05:47] <DoubtlessDan> jsievert: Look in System > Preferences > Sounds
[05:47] <jsievert> when the login screen shows up when i boot up i hear the drums though, has anyone seen anything like that
[05:48] <jsievert> DoubtlessDan: when i try any of those pull downs in their and it test it fails
[05:48] <jsievert> audiorecord: thanks for the insite
[05:48] <r4vn0s> i'm having a little problem with my ubuntu installation... i just downloaded the 6.10 ver and burn the CD but when i boot and select starting ubuntu to instalation the load screen appears and after that the screen turns black and nothing else happen! if some1 can help me i will thank...
[05:48] <DoubtlessDan> jsievert: was the volume too low (as audiorecord suggested)?
[05:48] <WhoKnows> can somebody help me figure this site out, it explains how to get speedstep working on an old laptop of mine http://www.poupinou.org/cpufreq/speedstep-piix4.html
[05:48] <cafuego_> SurfnKid: *nod* np.
[05:49] <Fuzzywuzzy> jsievert: May also want to run alsamixer
[05:49] <jsievert> DoubtlessDan: when i try to luanch gnome-volume-mixer it says that it can not find anything to manage
[05:50] <jsievert> jsievert@desktop1:~$ alsamixer
[05:50] <jsievert> alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such devic
[05:50] <jsievert> however when gdm loads, i hear the drums
[05:50] <Fuzzywuzzy> on a related note, has anyone configured 5.1 surround on the CK804 chipset?  I've tried the .asoundrc files that are listed in the forum, but most of them are for the older Intel chipset
[05:51] <jsievert> doing sudo alsamixer it loads
[05:51] <r4vn0s> i'm having a little problem with my ubuntu installation... i just downloaded the 6.10 ver and burn the CD but when i boot and select starting ubuntu to instalation the load screen appears and after that the screen turns black and nothing else happen! if some1 can help me i will thank...
[05:51] <Fuzzywuzzy> jsievert: check /etc/group and make sure your user is in the audio group
[05:51] <jsievert> jsievert@desktop1:~$ id
[05:51] <jsievert> uid=500(jsievert) gid=100(users) groups=5(tty),6(disk),7(lp),11(floppy),18(audio)
[05:52] <Zues_62> hey guys is there a video converter for ubuntu
[05:53] <audiorecord> l;
[05:53] <Fuzzywuzzy> jsievert: what's the output of ls -ld /dev/snd ?
[05:54] <jsievert> drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 220 2007-04-06 22:43 /dev/snd
[05:54] <jmhodges> hey, how does one calibrate a wacom tablet? i'm not sure how to get the tablet to screen ratio down
[05:55] <jsievert> Fuzzywuzzy: well  is root:root my issue?
[05:55] <Fuzzywuzzy> jsievert: hmmm.. d'oh sorry, drop the -d option, should be crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 9
[05:56] <Fuzzywuzzy> i thought so, but then I looked at mine
[05:56] <hyperactivecrond> sudo chown root:audio /dev/snd
[05:56] <|NewUser|> how can i check Which One Video card i have? its Ati/nvidia or Anyother?
[05:57] <nick__> how do you delete a folder and all of its contents in the command line
[05:57] <jsievert> all of the devices in /dev/snd are root:audio
[05:57] <|NewUser|> nick__: maybe rm -rf dirname
[05:57] <jsievert> nick__:  rm -rf
[05:57] <nick__> thanks
[05:57] <Fuzzywuzzy> |NewUser| lspci | grep -i VGA
[05:58] <cmillard> hyperactivecrond: Thanks for the feedback, restarting X with the new config.
[05:58] <audiorecord> nick__, try /bin/rm -rf <dir_name>
[05:59] <Fuzzywuzzy> jsievert: you may also want to check if you have an /etc/asound.conf or ~/.asoundrc file present.  That's where my current problem is
[05:59] <Fuzzywuzzy> Gods, I miss the OSS days
[06:00] <jsievert> Fuzzywuzzy: i have nither
[06:00] <thepumpkin1979> hi. there is a way to Trim the Process Memory WorkingSet in linux?
[06:00] <|NewUser|> Fuzzywuzzy: want to install beryl in 6.10..  so i have " VGA compitable Controller: S3 Inc. Trio 64 3d (rev 01)" this video card. can i use beryl with this?
[06:00] <cmillard> hyperactivecrond: Nope, no worky :/
[06:00] <bwlang> DoubtlessDan: see http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/  for an explanation of the opera problem
[06:00] <hyperactivecrond> cmillard: :|
[06:00] <cmillard> Asking quickly again, for anyone -- xorg sucking up CPU for 2d operations, 3D is fine.  Using newest nvidia drivers (envy).  Any thoughts?
[06:00] <DoubtlessDan> bwlang: Thanks, I'll take a look. :)
[06:01] <Fuzzywuzzy> |NewUser| Beats me. Never tried Beryl, my main focus is on MythTV right now
[06:01] <Fuzzywuzzy> cmillard: Check your xv settings - 1 sec
[06:02] <jsievert> going to try something, need to reboot
[06:02] <nn-k-laptop> hi
[06:03] <cmillard> Fuzzywuzzy: Thanks, any help is appreciated :)
[06:03] <rezzie> yuhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
[06:03] <Fuzzywuzzy> cmillard: IIRC, /etc/X11/XvMCConfig needs to be created.  Also, /etc/X11/ should have the "nvidia" driver selected, not "nv"
[06:03] <cmillard> nvidia is in use, lemme se about the Xv
[06:04] <matjan> hello, has anyone here tried to get 3d acceleration going in vmware using vmgl?
[06:04] <cmillard> Fuzzywuzzy:  /etc/X11/XvMCConfig contains one line: libXvMC.so.1
[06:04] <cmillard> Fuzzywuzzy: been using nvidia driver
[06:05] <Fuzzywuzzy> Anyone familiar with getting 5.1 surround working with ALSA on the CK804 chipset?
[06:05] <jsievert> Fuzzywuzzy: got id
[06:06] <jsievert> Fuzzywuzzy: got it
[06:06] <Fuzzywuzzy> speaker-test only plays the front left & right channels
[06:06] <Fuzzywuzzy> jsievert: cool - was it the permissions?
[06:07] <cmillard> Fuzzywuzzy: Sorry to nag :(  But any other thoughts?
[06:07] <Fuzzywuzzy> jsievert: and on that note, how many speaker channels do you have working?
[06:07] <jsievert> Fuzzywuzzy: looks like some where down the line the GID of audio changed from 18 to 29 messing up my ldap
[06:07] <jsievert> Fuzzywuzzy: just 2
[06:08] <Fuzzywuzzy> cmillard: I had the same problem when I tried to go up to Feisty 4.  Maybe dmesg has some clues?
[06:08] <astronouth7303> on monday, I'll be able to access my ubuntu (feisty) server, and by wednesday morning, I need to install a wireless card and be able to configure it on the command line (no gui)
[06:08] <astronouth7303> where can i find the webpage that describes the process? or can one of you outline the steps?
[06:08] <astronouth7303> (it's a broadcom BCM4306kfb)
[06:09] <disinterested_pe> i just installed beryl and a video card today and half of my windows open part way out of the screen any suggestions?
[06:09] <Fuzzywuzzy> cmillard: I ended up dropping down to edgy, so I don't recall what caused the problem.
[06:09] <cmillard> Fuzzywuzzy: Everything I've seen looks good :(
[06:09] <Fuzzywuzzy> cmillard: I'm stumped
[06:10] <cmillard> Fuzzywuzzy: Me too! *chuckles*  Thanks for letting me pick your brain
[06:10] <Fuzzywuzzy> Anyone ever done combad with ALSA configurations?
[06:10] <Fuzzywuzzy> er - combat?
[06:10] <cmillard> Thanks everyone
[06:11] <Fuzzywuzzy> jsievert: yeah, the installer's weird that way
[06:12] <jsievert> Fuzzywuzzy: sorry i am not going to be much help with weird alsa stuff, when it starts working is where i stop
[06:12] <Fuzzywuzzy> had the same problem with mysql and mythtv changing UIDs.  Took me FOREVER to track down all the extended ACL permissions
[06:13] <Fuzzywuzzy> jsievert: Amen.  Whoever wrote the APIs for that crap must have lived in Redmond for a while
[06:13] <crimsun> Fuzzywuzzy: wrong. They work for SuSE/Novell.
[06:13] <Fuzzywuzzy> the alsa-project.org site's impossible to read.
[06:13] <crimsun> and what's the issue?
[06:13] <crimsun> keep in mind we use #alsa for this reason.
[06:14] <Fuzzywuzzy> crimsun: can't get 5.1 surround working under Edgy.  I have a newer nForce-based board that doesn't have the Intel8x0 chipset.
[06:15] <thepact> How do I set up dual monitor with an intel video chip set?
[06:15] <crimsun> Fuzzywuzzy: join #alsa, and use http://bulletproof.servebeer.com/alsa/scripts/alsa-info.sh
[06:16] <Fuzzywuzzy> crimsun: Thanks
[06:17] <madman91> hello all... i have dapper drake installed... can i still get all the new features of feisty fawn without reinstalling feisty?
[06:18] <crimsun> meaning an in-place dist-upgrade?
[06:18] <crimsun> cos well, you certainly aren't going to get there by dreaming.
[06:19] <RushFreak> The in-place upgrade works really well.  I would just go for feisty.
[06:19] <Terminus> madman91: you probably want `gksu update-manager -cd` i never tried it myself though.
[06:19] <crimsun> make sure you wrap gksu commands in quotes '
[06:19] <matjan> hello, has anyone here tried to get 3d acceleration going in vmware using vmgl?
[06:20] <madman91> Terminus: will that update my dapper to feisty?
[06:20] <jburd> madman91, gksu 'update-manager -c -d' should.
[06:20] <RushFreak> gksu "update-manager -d"
[06:21] <Terminus> madman91: maybe other people here have used it. i haven't. i just know about it.
[06:21] <madman91> Terminus: where can i read up about it?
[06:21] <madman91> RushFreak: know anything more ?
[06:21] <bhavi> Hello.. How to open SSH keys?
[06:21] <gnychis> i just installed ubuntu, and i want to install "hellanzb" ... i open up a terminal and try: sudo apt-get install hellanzb  ... but i get package not found, but I googled it and it seems to be included, in fact it seems like anything i try i get package not found ... is there something i need to do?
[06:21] <Terminus> madman91: http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+update+manager
[06:22] <bburg2> gnychis, you may not have the sources in your list
[06:22] <madman91> Terminus: ...
[06:22] <upgrdman> on the livecd, there was a partition tool, now that i have ubuntu installed, i cant find it... where is it?
[06:22] <crimsun> bhavi: $EDITOR
[06:22] <RushFreak> You need to update your repository.  Try to google hellanzb to see where you might have to grab it.
[06:22] <Terminus> madman91: well, that is what i did just now. =P
[06:22] <gnychis> bburg2: how can i add some to my list? is there a guide somewhere?
[06:23] <jburd> gnychis, what does sudo apt-get update  tell you?
[06:24] <madman91> well what i mean is .. can i keep on running dapper and get all the features of feisty without upgrading to feisty?
[06:24] <RushFreak> /etc/apt/sources.list is there you add sources.
[06:24] <bburg2> gnychis, i'd recommend using synaptic, in combination with the manage software sources thing
[06:24] <RushFreak> there=where..
[06:24] <bhavi> and how to open a branch in launchpad? I am interested in developing Linux mobile edition... Kernel simulation is over in my mobile..
[06:24] <gnychis> bburg2: there doesn't seem to be hellanzb in synaptic
[06:24] <RushFreak> You have to find the source that contains the hellanzb package.
[06:25] <RushFreak> Add it to the list of sources and you should see it in the list.
[06:25] <bzaks> is there anyone who can actually give Xpath help? I've been digging left and right and can't find any suitable resources
[06:25] <bzaks> #XML is dead
[06:25] <bburg2> gnychis, http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/search/label/Hellanzb%20ubuntu
[06:26] <tonyyarusso> bhavi: #launchpad
[06:26] <arrow> does anything other than xine play wmv files?
[06:26] <bburg2> gnychis, the program is not in the universe repository until feisty
[06:27] <bburg2> so in the interim, follow the instructions at that link above to install manually
[06:27] <bhavi> OK!!!!!
[06:27] <bburg2> arrrow, VLC should
[06:27] <arrow> I'll check it out, bburg2
[06:27] <gnychis> bburg2: yeah but it says the python package is not found... still trying to get past the initial setup
[06:27] <bburg2> bzaks, try #jquery etc
[06:28] <bzaks> thanks :)
[06:28] <bburg2> you may be successful in finding guides to xpath in javascript libraries that use xpath selectors
[06:28] <bburg2> i know there are some other ones as well
[06:29] <bzaks> okay :) thanks Bburg!
[06:29] <upgrdman> on the livecd, there was a partition tool, now that i have ubuntu installed, i cant find it... where is it?
[06:29] <bzaks> gparted
[06:29] <bzaks> use synaptic
[06:30] <upgrdman> ok
[06:30] <upgrdman> thanks
[06:31] <upgrdman> and also... i have a raid array on this system, and kept it when i reinstalled ubuntu.. is there a gui tool to redetect the array and create a mount point
[06:32] <Terminus> madman91: ah... doesn't look like it. you will have to upgrade to feisty if you want all the new features.
[06:33] <madman91> Terminus: thanks
[06:33] <Terminus> madman91: i'm waiting for feisty myself. =)
[06:39] <James296> where do I go to look for support in Simply Mepis?
[06:39] <shawnr> anyone know of a good guide to get my wireless working in edgy with broadcom?
[06:39] <Flannel> !wifi | shawnr
[06:39] <ubotu> shawnr: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[06:40] <Fujitsu> James296: Not here.
[06:40] <Flannel> James296: i'd try #mepis
[06:40] <Crazytom> shawnr, what chipset do you have?
[06:40] <kelsey435> I am trying to install ubuntu for the first time ever, first linux for that matter, and i am having problems.  Can someone walk me through the inital set up?
[06:41] <Flannel> kelsey435: it's best to just ask about whatever issue you're having.    However,
[06:41] <Flannel> kelsey435: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/  At the beginning there there's three/four steps,  (gettiung, burning, integrity check, then the installatin guide)
[06:41] <Flannel> kelsey435: that'll be more informative (and less forgetful) than anyone here can be.  If you still have questions, feel free to ask
[06:42] <kelsey435> Thanks chief
[06:43] <gnychis> bburg2: http://rafb.net/p/4HcJti18.html
[06:43] <Crazytom> shawnr, what chipset do you have?
[06:43] <gnychis> bburg2: thats what i get for apt-get update
[06:44] <amicrawler> i have intel core 2 duo
[06:44] <amicrawler> 2.6ghz x's 2
[06:45] <amicrawler> does any body know how to use a kword dvd usb 2.0  device  in ubnutu
[06:45] <shawnr> Crazytom, the one that the default driver in ubuntu doesn't work right with
[06:45] <ajmorris_> anyone know how to pin repos in feisty?
[06:45] <shawnr> Crazytom, I had it all set up
[06:46] <Flannel> !pin | ajmorris_
[06:46] <ubotu> ajmorris_: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
[06:46] <ajmorris_> Flannel, that site is not for feisty though
[06:46] <Crazytom> shawnr, do lspci -v and look for your wireless card it should say something like bcm4306
[06:46] <ajmorris_> i could try and change it for feisty though
[06:46] <Flannel> ajmorris_: it's for apt-get
[06:46] <RushFreak> Does anybody know when feisty's going to be officially out of beta?
[06:46] <Flannel> RushFreak: the 19th
[06:46] <ajmorris_> ok
[06:46] <RushFreak> thx..
[06:46] <valehru> Does anyone know how I could control totem via ssh on a different computer?  i.e., use my laptop to control the movie which is playing on a different computer?
[06:46] <SurfnKid> cafuego, hmm its already past 2gb
[06:47] <Flannel> ajmorris_: pinning is a feature of apt-get, it's version agnostic
[06:47] <SurfnKid> cafuego, anyway to instruct it to break it past 1gb?
[06:47] <ajmorris_> flannel, ok
[06:47] <ajmorris_> tks
[06:47] <shawnr> Crazytom, Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)
[06:48] <Crazytom> shawnr, would you like help setting it up?
[06:48] <shawnr> Crazytom, I had it set up and active with ndiswrapper
[06:48] <shawnr> and it was detecting wireless routers in the area
[06:48] <gnychis> does anyone know how i can initialize apt-get for the first time so i can instlal packages? no matter what i try like "apt-get install X", it always says not found
[06:48] <shawnr> Crazytom, But i wasn't able to connect, i did somthing and rebooted
[06:48] <Crazytom> shawnr, if you want help please join #ubuntuflak
[06:49] <nonuda> sudo apt-get update
[06:49] <kelsey435> Hey flannel
[06:50] <ajmorris_> anyone used pinning in ubuntu feisty to use 0.2.0 of beryl from their site instead of feisty's 0.2.1?
[06:52] <kelsey435> I guess he has gone afk.  maybe someone else can help me with installing.  Flannel gave me a link to the how to's of installation.  But i get to the same point that i have been getting to and it give me the error message of the ext3 file system creation in partition #1 of blah failed
[06:52] <rickyfingers> hey what's up everybody...my two buddies aren't, came over had some drinks and passed out.
[06:53] <Taime1> i just disovered something horrifying on this test system: when i am on a network, otbers can see pretty much all the files on my computer...what gives?
[06:53] <kelsey435> yay for passing out
[06:53] <rickyfingers> Taime1: are you talking about what's in /etc...stuff like that?
[06:53] <kelsey435> clearly you give ha
[06:54] <Taime1> no, but my home directory and all its contents
[06:54] <jterrero> can someone please help me :(, I used "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/vista", it mounts fine but when i try to change to that directory, it tells me permision denied... if anyone can help me, please msg me... its permision denied to even read after sucesfull mount
[06:55] <rickyfingers> Taime1: this is new to me, if others can see your files on the network, something like nfs or samba or some kind of service must be running.
[06:55] <rickyfingers> jterrero: you just need to keep using sudo, i.e. sudo cd /mnt/vista
[06:55] <jterrero> no
[06:55] <jterrero> that doesnt work either
[06:55] <jterrero> the partition is a ntfs partition
[06:56] <dinosoup> hi. i just installed ubuntu on my old computer. after installation i setup the network settings. i use a router and setup static ip, subnet and gateway. but don't know why it can't connect to the internet. i tried connecting to my main comptuer's web server by directly going to its network ip and it worked
[06:56] <eck> rickyfingers: cd is not an external command, it is a bash builtin
[06:56] <nonuda> jterrero, i believe u were trying to mount a ntfs partition, right?
[06:56] <eck> jterrero: sudo -i
[06:56] <jterrero> yes
[06:56] <amicrawler> Taime1 what os can they see
[06:56] <jterrero> i was trying to mount ntfs partition
[06:56] <rickyfingers> jterrero: have you done ls -la to see who ubuntu thinks owns the files?
[06:56] <eck> jterrero: although your better off mounting it with the uid and gid of your regular user
[06:57] <jterrero> sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ntfsvolume
[06:57] <jterrero> when i cd to /mnt/ntfsvolume .. permision denied
[06:57] <bderrly_> dinosoup: can you ping your gateway?
[06:57] <eck> dinosoup: it sounds like dhcp isn't working
[06:57] <eck> err, dns
[06:57] <jterrero> dr-x------  1 root root 8192 2007-04-04 19:23 ntfs
[06:58] <dinosoup> how do i do that?
[06:58] <shriphani> folks
[06:58] <Taime1> there is a folder on the network that is the name of my machine... and when i look at it with another computer also running edgy, i can see all of those folders and contents
[06:58] <eck> jterrero: you want sudo mount -o uid=something,gid=something /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ntfsvolume
[06:58] <shriphani> i have issues with sound on an acer travelmate 4500
[06:58] <kelsey435> can some1 help me install ubuntu.  When it is install everytime it tells me the file system creation failed
[06:58] <eck> whatever your uid and gid are
[06:59] <Taime1> but for some reason, i cannot see the other machine at all
[06:59] <bderrly_> dinosoup, you said you setup your gateway with your static ip, ping your gateway you setup
[06:59] <jterrero> chow do i find the correct uid gid
[06:59] <RyanRyan52> how do you get the xchat to automatically identify u? I have to type identify blah blah blah
[06:59] <RyanRyan52>  /msg NickServ IDENTIFY <password>
[06:59] <eck> jterrero: if you are the first user on the system i think they are both 1000
[06:59] <eck> otherwise look in /etc/passwd
[06:59] <shriphani> when it is turned to full volume it cracks a lot
[07:00] <kelsey435> ; [ no love for me
[07:00] <dinosoup> bderrly_: on the ubuntu machine?
[07:00] <jterrero> :!:13609:0:99999:7:::
[07:00] <RushFreak> what's the problem you're having kelsey?
[07:00] <jterrero> are those the uid gid ?
[07:00] <jterrero> and is it my user or the root
[07:00] <eck> this will tell you: python -c 'import os; print os.getuid(); print os.getgid()'
[07:01] <eck> it is your regular user
[07:01] <storm> hello every one
[07:01] <RushFreak> hey storm.
[07:01] <kelsey435> I am trying to install for the first time ever.  i go through the install process and when it is installing the system it gives me an error  the ext3 file system creation in partion #1 of blah blah has failed
[07:02] <eck> kelsey435: is there a reason? if not, try manually running the mkfs command
[07:02] <RyanRyan52> how do you get the xchat to automatically identify u? I have to type identify blah blah blah
[07:02] <shriphani> RyanRyan52, Edit ----> fill in your nickserv password
[07:02] <storm> mine just did it on it's own
[07:02] <Angelus> hey everyone, is anyone familiar with a program DVD Catalyst 2.4, if so is there a ubuntu alternative???
[07:03] <RushFreak> Kelsey:  Are you blowing away the existing partitions on the disk?  Then recreating them and trying to format the partition?
[07:03] <Xenguy> Angelus: what is the prog's function?
[07:03] <kelsey435> it doesnt tell me a reason.  i press ok on the window it it jsut goes back to the normal desktop,   if am to do this manually, what else would i have to type with mkfs?
[07:03] <Angelus> it converts DVD movies onto a IPAQ
[07:03] <Xenguy> Angelus: IC
[07:04] <kelsey435> rushfreak this disk has been formated b4 but i thought i had whipped it clean,
[07:04] <dinosoup> i pinged the gateway address on the ubuntu machine and it seems ok
[07:05] <Angelus> any ideas?
[07:06] <eck> kelsey435: if the partition is already created, you want something like: sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/partition_goes_here
[07:07] <eck> dinosoup: did you set up dns?
[07:07] <Taime1> on my home network, one of two computers, (both are running ubuntu edgy), can be seen and so can the home directory and all its contents. But the other computer doesnt even appear to the one showing ITS contents....how can i change this so that neither of them show files or directories?
[07:07] <eck> dinosoup: you can do it manually with route (or whatever the graphical tool for that is)
[07:07] <Xenguy> Angelus: I don't use PDAs; I just use dvdrip to convert DVD format to AVIs.  Don't know more than that really on this topic
[07:07] <nalpha> guys important.. please help me T.T "after i type [ sudo bash -c "echo > /etc/shadow" ]  and restartint the computer, i can't login again... why?? anyone can help me???
[07:07] <nonuda> Taime1, one of ur pc must have shared folder enable
[07:08] <Angelus> dvdrip is that a windows product?
[07:08] <Taime1> where can i change this?
[07:08] <RushFreak> Taime1, do you have samba running on that machine?
[07:08] <nonuda> thats why another pc can see it therough network
[07:08] <Taime1> i dont know
[07:08] <Taime1> sadly
[07:08] <eck> nalpha: because you wiped all the login information
[07:08] <Taime1> im fairy new
[07:08] <Taime1> fairly*
[07:08] <Xenguy> Angelus: I hate windows -- no  :-)  That is linux, which is the channel you are in right now =)
[07:08] <eck> nalpha: there is a backup, /etc/shadow-
[07:08] <nalpha> eck: so how to fix it??
[07:09] <nonuda> Taime1, open system|Administration|shared folder
[07:09] <RushFreak> Go to System ==> Administration ==> Shared Folders.
[07:09] <eck> (it might be older though)
[07:09] <nalpha> btw, i can't log in to my computer how to use the backup?
[07:09] <Angelus> ok cool I'll have a look for it
[07:09] <nonuda> and see what folder have ur pc shared
[07:09] <bulmer> nalpha: you need to boot off of the liveCD and then recoup the /etc/shadow~
[07:10] <eck> nalpha: you can boot into rescue mode
[07:10] <eck> nalpha: or use ssh if you have it configured
[07:10] <Xenguy> Angelus: it depends on what output format you want I expect (and you haven't mentioned that so far I think)
[07:10] <nalpha> bulmer: rescue mode?
[07:10] <dinosoup> eck: i just tried going google (66.102.7.104) and it works. so it's a dns issue?
[07:10] <nalpha> upps eck: rescue mode? from GRUB?
[07:10] <Faust-C> anyone need help
[07:10] <eck> dinosoup: you went there by ip or by host?
[07:10] <eck> nalpha: yes
[07:10] <eck> nalpha: that will drop you into a root console
[07:10] <dinosoup> eck: by ip
[07:10] <eck> dinosoup: it is definitely a dns issue then
[07:10] <nalpha> eck: i'm already try, but it's asking password
[07:11] <eck> just hit enter?
[07:11] <Angelus> I'm not actually sure Xenguy, I'm not familiar with the program. I just got the new PDA and I think it plays AVI files. Will it reduce the size of the DVD file if I convert it to AVI?
[07:11] <bulmer> nalpha then type your password
[07:11] <Xenguy> Angelus: definitely...
[07:11] <eck> bulmer: not if shadow is gone...
[07:11] <bulmer> ssh uses the shadow too?
[07:11] <Xenguy> Angelus: DVD->AVI is akin to something like WAV->MP3
[07:12] <Angelus> cool then that's the program I need Xenguy :)
[07:12] <eck> nalpha: you can also try booting with init=/bin/bash
[07:12] <nalpha> eck: I'm installing my computer with ubuntu 6.10, and I not configured any password? just username=administrator,password=shadowadmin
[07:12] <eck> ssh uses pam
[07:12] <Faust-C> can someone tell me what happens when you do /exec -o yes "help"
[07:12] <nalpha> eck: and the account is dissapeared?
[07:12] <nalpha> eck: so what password should i use?
[07:12] <dinosoup> eck: is there something i have to set? but isn't dns stuff on the isp side?
[07:12] <eck> i thought the rescue mode in ubuntu was configured to not ask for a password, but this may be behavior dependent on what the kernel sees in /etc/shadow
[07:13] <kelsey435> no  you can change your dns server to anything you want
[07:13] <Xenguy> Angelus: OK :-)  There are others too (like acidrip) but I found dvdrip to be quite nice (sane defaults) but just a bit fussy to configure initially (no biggie tho, just a little time and patience)
[07:13] <eck> dinosoup: the problem is that you do not have your configured to use dns
[07:13] <eck> dinosoup: you just set static ip information and no dns information
[07:13] <nalpha> eck: what's is the default password for root? cause since I install my computer i can't login as root? :(
[07:13] <Xenguy> Angelus: once it is setup it's pretty nice
[07:13] <Angelus> Xenguy it seems like a small program which is good I'm no dial up! lol
[07:13] <eck> nalpha: there _is_ no password, you deleted /etc/shadow so everything is all messed up
[07:13] <eck> nalpha: you can still log in if you use init=/bin/bash (or use a live cd)
[07:14] <wims> i get 404 errors when i try apt-get update
[07:14] <eck> nalpha: if it doesn't just drop you into a shell it won't work
[07:14] <nalpha> eck: ow... okey I'm try it first.. thanx alot eck & bulmer
[07:14] <Xenguy> Angelus: start the d/l and go to bed, it'll be done in the morning or before ;-)
[07:14] <bulmer> ok
[07:14] <Angelus> hehe I'm in Australia, it's 3:14pm lol
[07:14] <eck> dinosoup: e.g. type route -n
[07:14] <eck> dinosoup: that will show you the routing table
[07:14] <Xenguy> Angelus: I used to dist-upgrade that way and it worked just fine :-D
[07:15] <Angelus> it's not a big file Xenguy, it's cool thanks for your help! :)
[07:15] <dinosoup> eck: ah i didn't set the dns tab. it works now. thanks
[07:15] <Xenguy> Angelus: I know, it just reminded me of my dialup daze ;-)
[07:15] <Xenguy> Angelus: yw
[07:16] <Xenguy> Angelus: 1:15am here <yawn>
[07:16] <Angelus> hehe go to bed!!!!

[07:26] <Angelus> cool I'll have a bit of a look

[07:26] <Nick^69> darx which I should install Ubuntu 6 or 7 ?
[07:26] <makuseru> is there any way to install ubuntu over a nework? instead of from a CD?

[07:27] <darx> Nick^69: 7 is beta.. tell me what you are running now..
[07:27] <Xenguy> Angelus: it may be 'libdvdcss2'
[07:27] <makuseru> bulmer: thats what im asking

[07:27] <amicrawler> i'm runing 6.10
[07:27] <bulmer> squiggie: you can look at the kernel configs

[07:28] <squiggie> bulmer, you'll have to forgive me, I'm fairly new and don't know how to do that
[07:28] <amicrawler> please  help me
[07:28] <magic_ninja>  if i want to hook up two computers to the internet, can i put 2 NICs into one of them and use linux as a router?
[07:28] <bruenig> amicrawler, ask a question
[07:28] <Xenguy> !libdvdcss | Angelus
[07:28] <ubotu> Angelus: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[07:28] <bulmer> makuseru: you need to look in to booting via PXE ie your nic has to support PXE booting
[07:29] <makuseru> all the tutorials ive found are from comming from XP to Ubuntu
[07:29] <kelsey435> fuast i could use some.   I am having all kinds of trouble trouble to install ubuntu
[07:29] <Angelus> you know it's also annoying when I put in a DVD and Totem doesn't play it!!!
[07:29] <bulmer> squiggie: if you are this new, why in the world you'd like to mess around with two diffirent File Systems?
[07:29] <amicrawler> i have a wifi card installed and running but do not know how to us the darn thing and how to connect to my router
[07:29] <makuseru> thats not what im tryin to do, i have Ubuntu on there, i just need to install a diffrent one
[07:29] <Xenguy> Angelus: you need extra codecs that's all...
[07:29] <bruenig> Angelus, wow three !'s, it must be pretty annoying, see 2 !'s, moderate annoyance, but that third really got your point across
[07:30] <Xenguy> !codecs | Angelus
[07:30] <ubotu> Angelus: 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
[07:30] <neozen> Angelus: add the multiverse repository and sudo aptitude install libdvdcss2
[07:30] <squiggie> bulmer, not necessarily messing around, rather I want to install ubuntu on a spare box I have because my fileserver crapped out. Now my data is on the drives and I can't get it off
[07:30] <bruenig> !info libdvdcss2

[07:30] <randune> hi all
[07:30] <darx> amicrawler: does your network show up in the network manager?
[07:31] <Angelus> hehe yes it is annoying, sorry my style of typing is definately unique
[07:31] <amicrawler> yes
[07:31] <bruenig> neozen, it isn't in the regular repos, unless you count seveas as regular
[07:31] <randune> I have a question..I'm running ubuntu at 1680x1050..but the fonts and display in general is distored
[07:31] <amicrawler> it does and i can see other peoples to
[07:31] <darx> if so first try disabling encryption in your router
[07:31] <darx> then try connecting
[07:31] <bruenig> Angelus, in windows you would have to do the same thing, except you would have to pay for something like windvd
[07:32] <randune> I'm using the "nvidia" driver in X..
[07:32] <darx> if that doesn't work.. try sudo ifup "insert interface name here" --force
[07:33] <randune> at 1680x1050 the display doesn't look right.., ie..some of the characters in the fonts are not formed correctly
[07:33] <nonuda> Noldoran, sorry can't help u, i told u were just want to enable numlock ;)
[07:33] <randune> it's like the LCD monitor is not running at it's native resolution.
[07:33] <coolness9> hello :) Quick Q.... how come when I'm in a directory and I type in a executable, such as "apache2 start" it doesnt work, but "./apache2 start" does work?
[07:33] <squiggie> bulmer, do you think you can help me or not?
[07:33] <darx> amicrawler: to find your network interface name, enter ifconfig on the terminal
[07:33] <tisi> fgg
[07:33] <bulmer> squiggie: i am not here on voluntary basis
[07:33] <tisi> kiloo
[07:34] <rickyfingers> coolness9: that's because the directory the executable is in is not in your PATH variable
[07:34] <bulmer> i am here in voluntary basis rather
[07:34] <rickyfingers> coolness9: the ./ is shorthand for the path to the current directory
[07:34] <squiggie> bulmer, I know, just wondering if you think you can help me or not. If not, then I need to ask the question again for someone else
[07:34] <darx> randune: try to adjust the font size and hinting
[07:34] <coolness9> okay but if i'm in the current directory, and I type it in, shouldn't it read from the current directory and exectute?
[07:34] <darx> alternatively install mscorefonts
[07:35] <Xenguy> coolness9: no not by default
[07:35] <bruenig> !info msttcorefonts
[07:35] <coolness9> ah
[07:35] <ubotu> msttcorefonts: Installer for Microsoft TrueType core fonts. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1.2ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 22 kB, installed size 164 kB
[07:35] <bruenig> coolness9, it reads from the $PATH if you don't specify otherwise
[07:35] <randune> darx..it's not just the fonts..
[07:35] <coolness9> where would I specify?
[07:35] <bruenig> coolness9, do "echo $PATH" to see where those places are
[07:35] <bulmer> squiggie: you have the liberty to do so, i can not stop you from doing such
[07:35] <Odditie> Does anyone use a Logitech MX1000 mouse?
[07:35] <randune> it's the display in general..
[07:35] <bruenig> coolness9, you specify when you do the ./
[07:35] <rickyfingers> coolness9: you can append . to the PATH variable in your ~/.profile file but this is never done, so I assume it's a security thing
[07:36] <Xenguy> rickyfingers: no no no!
[07:36] <Xenguy> rickyfingers: don't even suggest that please
[07:36] <darx> randune: make sure you have the respective drivers for you graphics card installed.
[07:36] <kelsey435> I am really having trouble installing ubuntu, can someone please help me to make sure that i am setting everything up correctly and that i am not crazy
[07:36] <rickyfingers> Xenguy: I said I thought it was a security thing not to do it...
[07:36] <Xenguy> rickyfingers: yes it is a "security thing"
[07:36] <randune> I do darx
[07:36] <Xenguy> rickyfingers: it should *not* be done
[07:36] <randune> I'm using the nvidia glx driver
[07:36] <coolness9> well this apache2 file is in a directory of it's own, what if I wanted to just be able to type in apache2 start from any folder? would I need to write a script?
[07:37] <randune> not sure if it's driver related
[07:37] <darx> randune: can u upload a screen shot and paste the link here
[07:37] <squiggie> bulmer, lol, thanks for the efforty
[07:37] <randune> cause I also tried 1680x1050 with the "nv" driver
[07:37] <bruenig> what would necessarily be so wrong with . in the PATH I wonder
[07:37] <randune> hmmm..
[07:37] <randune> where would I upload a screenshot to?
[07:37] <darx> randune: try imageshack
[07:37] <rickyfingers> Xenguy: Over the past week I've been experimenting with Xen, and it's pretty cool, but I can't run the nvidia driver with it.  I saw a patch, applied it, no errors, but the driver still won't load.  Have you had any luck with it?
[07:37] <eck> bruenig: um, what happens when someone creates a script called ls in your cwd
[07:37] <randune> k
[07:37] <Xenguy> bruenig: STFW, it opens vulnerabilities to potential exploits
[07:38] <eck> bruenig: when you type ls it executes that script instead of the ls binary
[07:38] <purez> Errr.
[07:38] <purez> Anyone can help me here? :o
[07:38] <bruenig> eck, yeah I realize that
[07:38] <squiggie> can someone help me with mounting an old hard drive that is being recognized as FreeBSD partition?
[07:38] <Xenguy> rickyfingers: sorry, I adopted my nick before Xen coined theirs ;-)
[07:38] <darx> purez: whats up?
[07:38] <kelsey435> I am really having trouble installing ubuntu, can someone please help me to make sure that i am setting everything up correctly and that i am not crazy
[07:38] <Xenguy> rickyfingers: I've never messed with Xen (tho would love to at some point)
[07:38] <bruenig> eck, what happens if you have executables with the same name in two different parts of the PATH
[07:38] <purez> Well, i formated my HD with XP installed on it and decided to go with ubuntu on my laptop.
[07:38] <bruenig> eck, does it run both
[07:39] <eck> bruenig: whatever comes first in the path is executed
[07:39] <darx> Kelsey435: rest assured.. you are not...
[07:39] <purez> I installed it, no problems at all.
[07:39] <bruenig> eck, so just put . at the end
[07:39] <purez> I login with the user/pass, it logins.
[07:39] <darx> k
[07:39] <eck> bruenig: no, then you think you have a program installed that isn't really installed and you have the same problem
[07:39] <eck> not as bad, but pretty close
[07:39] <dkwtcm> (any help will be greatly appreciated) There was an error in setting up inter-process communications for KDE.  Could not read network connection list. /home/default/.DCOPserver_me-desktop_0  Please check that the "dcopserver is running!
[07:39] <rickyfingers> Xenguy: It's a little bit of a pain to get working, but if your processor supports virtualization, the sky's the limit with it.  I got windows xp running in it, and it's a lot of fun.
[07:39] <purez> But then i just see the brown background and 2 grey bars (upper and lower)
[07:39] <eck> bruenig: or if you make a typo
[07:39] <purez> that's it, no icons, nothing
[07:39] <Xenguy> rickyfingers: it does sound very nice, if a bit fussy to get setup
[07:40] <kelsey435> ; [
[07:40] <Odditie> I am wanting to know if there is a way to get the side buttons on my mouse to direct webpages back and forth. Since its a Logitech mouse, I can't use the software that comes with it. Does anyone know a way around this?
[07:40] <darx> purez: try rightclicking on it.. does it pop up a menu or something?
[07:40] <coolness9> lets say I wanted to shortcut run ./apache2 start. would I just need to create a script called startApache or something?
[07:40] <bruenig> eck, there are some potential issues, but it isn't something that would elicit such a crazy opposing response
[07:40] <purez> Nope, i tryed rick clicking on the bars/background.. nothing shows up
[07:40] <purez> But i can move my mouse on it, and in the background.
[07:41] <bruenig> the only issue is if somebody where to somehow get a script in your cwd that was malicious and you accidentally ran it
[07:41] <rickyfingers> Xenguy: the main headache with installing Xen itself (I compiled from source) was the packages I had to include with it.  Really there's only two commands to install it, make world and sudo make install then all you have to do is edit menu.lst to boot the xen environment.
[07:41] <bruenig> were*
[07:41] <Xenguy> coolness9: just add the path/dir to your $PATH environmental variable (easier than it sounds)
[07:41] <kelsey435> I am really having trouble installing ubuntu, can someone please help me to make sure that i am setting everything up correctly and that i am not crazy
[07:41] <eck> bruenig: it would happen eventually
[07:41] <coolness9> ah okay
[07:41] <purez> Did i miss something or i just suck? lol
[07:41] <darx> purez: hit ctrl alt and backspace... this restarts x lets see how it goes
[07:42] <coolness9> where do I edit $PATH? nano $PATH ?
[07:42] <bruenig> eck, I don't really see it, it certainly isn't something that should be included default, but I don't see an accidental run of a malicious script that somehow got on your system
[07:42] <purez> I did it. let's wait :p
[07:42] <rickyfingers> Xenguy: getting windows xp to boot in xen was a bit more of a struggle, the main thing being this crazy dev86 package, with documentation that sounds like it was written by a guy in a garage with a 9 volt battery, a soddering iron, and a bag of crack.
[07:42] <Xenguy> rickyfingers: I want to play with it definitely (I've been messing with vmware and virtualbox so far, and I'm interested in giving qemu/kqemu a whirl too)
[07:42] <jeffrey> I'm discovering one downside to wanting the latest version of an application installed on your computer
[07:42] <purez> Failed to start x server
[07:42] <Xenguy> rickyfingers: haha
[07:42] <purez> Your graphical interface
[07:42] <darx> tell me what it says
[07:42] <purez> It is likely that it is not set up correctly blah, i press yes?
[07:42] <k6rfm> coolness9: try nano ~/.profile
[07:42] <bruenig> if somebody is able to get a malicious script on your system, they would seemingly be able to edit the .bashrc file and do the same
[07:42] <dkwtcm> hello wall
[07:42] <McTeethinator> Howdy I just put Ubuntu on this new computer I got and like, I plugged my modem in my Ethernet port and the internet isn't working and all that. I'm new to Linux so yeah
[07:42] <Angelus> if you don't have windows partitioned on your computer are you still able to use windows programs?
[07:43] <purez> diagnose the problem?
[07:43] <Xenguy> coolness9: usually $PATH is set in .bashrc or .bash_profile (can't remember which ATM)
[07:43] <darx> purez: yup.. there you have the problem..
[07:43] <maxx18> is there a way i can restart/reload my sound card without rebooting? because my sound just stopped working. a reboot would fix it, but as luck would have it i have 8 south park episodes (flash format) fully loaded in my browser....
[07:43] <purez> So.. what do i need to do?
[07:43] <Xenguy> coolness9: ~/.bash_profile  here
[07:43] <darx> maxx18: see if your pcm slider is up and not muted
[07:44] <darx> purez: no it thows you into the command line
[07:44] <coolness9> ah I see
[07:44] <darx> if you are not logged in, log in
[07:44] <maxx18> darx, nope it's not muted
[07:44] <McTeethinator> So can anyone help me
[07:44] <Xenguy> coolness9: a line like:  PATH="/sbin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin"
[07:44] <dkwtcm> There was an error in setting up inter-process communications for KDE.  Could not read network connection list. /home/default/.DCOPserver_me-desktop_0  Please check that the "dcopserver is running!   :-/
[07:44] <McTeethinator> Should be very simply
[07:44] <McTeethinator> simple*
[07:44] <Xenguy> coolness9: then another line with:  export PATH
[07:45] <bruenig> PATH is set in /etc/environment, and you can use .bash_profile to add something to the path if you want at the opening of a terminal, or you could just edit /etc/environment
[07:45] <darx> purez: try lspci and paste your output in www.pastebin.ca and post the link here
[07:45] <Xenguy> bruenig: I have never set PATH in /etc/environment FWIW
[07:46] <purez> Ehm
[07:46] <kelsey435> ; [
[07:46] <purez> And how you expect me to copy paste it if it's on my laptop? :p
[07:46] <darx> maxx18: ALSA could be restarted a while ago but that doesn't seem to work now.. i don't know whats the new way of doing it.. as luck would have it :O
[07:46] <Xenguy> bruenig: must be new; I've never even heard of that file before truthfully
[07:46] <darx> purez: hmm... tell me what you graphics card is
[07:46] <maxx18> darx: that sounds like what i need
[07:47] <bruenig> Xenguy, well when you look at .bash_profile, it by default has a line that adds ~/bin to the ${PATH} if it exists, so there must be some preset $PATH
[07:47] <coolness9> hmm i dont see a PATH="/sbin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin". I do see this.
[07:47] <coolness9> if [ -d ~/bin ]  ; then
[07:47] <coolness9>     PATH=~/bin:"${PATH}"
[07:47] <coolness9> fi
[07:47] <darx> purez: that'll show up when you do lspci
[07:47] <rickyfingers> darx: I can't offer much in the way of a solution, but I'll tell you I had a problem like this: if I tried to adjust the volume with the main volume control up at the top right of the screen, I got no more sound. I installed 2.6.20.4 kernel, and the problem went away.
[07:47] <dkwtcm> if I put a dollar in the tip jar do I get any help?
[07:47] <purez> Yeah but how do i scroll up? :p
[07:47] <dkwtcm> :-D
[07:48] <bruenig> coolness9, yeah that was the line I was talking about
[07:48] <purez> Im pretty sure it's a ATI Radeon mobile 9xxx
[07:48] <Xenguy> coolness9: in the past I have just added the configuration myself; it will not interfere with what you already have above
[07:48] <Xenguy> coolness9: check /etc/profile also
[07:48] <Xenguy> coolness9: that is a 'global' file (i.e. affects all accounts)
[07:49] <kelsey435> I would love to learn all the coolness of linux that has been hyped up for me, but i cannot even get it to install and have no clue what i am doing wrong, ready to stop trying
[07:49] <darx> purez: x must have warned you what line of your config file was the culprit.. if you missed it, type startx and go through the process
[07:49] <j3r3miah> anyone know offhand where nm-applet (network-manager-gnome) keeps its settings?
[07:49] <bruenig> coolness9, gksudo gedit /etc/environment
[07:49] <maxx18> darx: tried /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart... it said shutting down ALSA, and then starting up alsa, but still no sound... any other ideas?
[07:49] <purez> ok
[07:49] <dkwtcm> kelsey435, Why can't you get it installed?
[07:50] <coolness9> Thank you very much for the help. I am past tired. I'll do this tomorrow! thanks
[07:50] <nonuda> guys, did u have a shutdown or turn off in quit dialog box?
[07:50] <kelsey435> i have no idea, everytime it tells me i it is unable to make the file system
[07:50] <darx> maxx18: i'm hoping that you opened the mixer and tried adusting from there.. some times it seems to work..
[07:50] <darx> maxx18: especially pcm
[07:50] <dkwtcm> never had that message, did you test the disc?
[07:50] <nonuda> coz i don't have it, i have to log out and turn my pc off from login box
[07:51] <bruenig> kelsey435, it says this during partitioning or what?
[07:51] <purez> Fatal server error: no screens found
[07:51] <purez> :o
[07:52] <maxx18> darx, yeah, i've adjusted all those options... i changed the sound device from HDA Intel (Alsa mixer) to Sigmatell  (OSS Mixer) and back again... no joy so far
[07:52] <kelsey435> I set up my partitions, at least i think i set um up right, apply them everything says successful, so i go to install  put in all that information and it starts to install the system, and then it says file system creation on partition #x has failed
[07:52] <maxx18> i really want to watch those south park episodes :(
[07:52] <kelsey435> and then i am back to the desktop
[07:52] <bruenig> kelsey435, what does the partition table look like
[07:53] <Xenguy> bruenig: there is a thread on /etc/environment here:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2793
[07:53] <darx> maxx18: beats me..
[07:53] <bruenig> kelsey435, or better, instead of using the installer, open GNOME partition editor from the menus
[07:53] <maxx18> damn damn damn... oh well thank for trying darx
[07:53] <kelsey435> 10 gb ext3 flagged to boot, 2 gb lins-swap, rest ext3
[07:53] <Xenguy> bruenig: I'm still not convinced it is the place to put PATH (it certainly is not historically) but I'll have to take a closer look after I've gotten some sleep ;-)
[07:53] <kelsey435> I did set up the partitions from gnome
[07:54] <amicrawler> can not join my network
[07:54] <ardchoille> Was Warty 5.04?
[07:54] <amicrawler> can see it
[07:54] <purez> darx: it says Parse error on line 43 of section Extentions in file /etc/x11/xorg.conf
[07:54] <purez> "Extentions" is not a valid section name :p
[07:54] <amicrawler> 6.10
[07:54] <rickyfingers> purez: it's just a spelling error. extensions
[07:55] <dkwtcm> how do I check to see if dcopserver is running?
[07:55] <darx> purez: hmm.. you'll have to manually edit xorg.conf
[07:55] <purez> O_O
[07:55] <purez> how
[07:55] <purez> im in tty1 now
[07:55] <Xenguy> dkwtcm: does this give anything?  ps aux |grep -i dcop
[07:55] <rickyfingers> purez: too easy sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:55] <greig_> .0++++-+
[07:56] <kelsey435> I just notived something.  when i am in gnome after i have tried to install ubuntu, when i look at my boot partition, it has changed the formate to ext2
[07:56] <kelsey435> does that mean anything?
[07:56] <dkwtcm> default   6276  0.0  0.1   2796   756 pts/0    R+   01:56   0:00 grep -i dcop
[07:56] <darx> purez: once you edit the file.. ctrl + o saves the file
[07:56] <darx> and ctrl + x exits nano
[07:56] <amicrawler> i run ubuntu 6.10  on  a duo core intel chip set
[07:57] <rickyfingers> purez: you might have to do sudo apt-get install nano, but I think it's already there by default in ubuntu
[07:57] <amicrawler> from a mac mini
[07:57] <purez> yeah .. it's there
[07:57] <amicrawler> very very fast
[07:57] <Xenguy> dkwtcm: OK, so that output is just the command you typed; so that shows nothing conclusive
[07:57] <purez> but when i did it
[07:57] <purez> it looks like the file is empty
[07:57] <darx> spelling error
[07:57] <darx> check your filepath
[07:57] <rickyfingers> purez: are you sure you're looking at /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[07:57] <dkwtcm> sorry, never had this problem b4
[07:57] <darx> its X and not x
[07:58] <dkwtcm> I tried google, no help there
[07:58] <purez> o.
[07:58] <purez> How do i quit nano?
[07:58] <dkwtcm> a lot of others have had the same issue though
[07:58] <rickyfingers> purez: control x
[07:58] <purez> Ok
[07:58] <purez> i got it
[07:58] <rickyfingers> I had a geek girlfriend once.  One time, to tell me to shut up she said, "control d"
[07:59] <purez> So i change Extentions by Extensions?
[07:59] <ramza3> when I click on a script in the desktop, is there a way to get rid of that "do you want to click or display message"
[08:00] <payan> 'till she kill - 9 you
[08:00] <darx> purez: use the arrow key.. just like word
[08:00] <darx> or what not
[08:00] <purez> yea
[08:00] <kelsey435> bruenig: would you mind if i pmed you, to help figure out where my error is?
[08:00] <purez> i changed it, saved, now im rebooting
[08:00] <darx> purez: be careful.. coz you don't have a backup
[08:00] <rickyfingers> purez: you don't really need to reboot, just type startx
[08:01] <tommytommy> hey I was wondering if I could get some help with a firewire enclosure...it's an acomdata firewire/usb unit, with a seagte pata HD on the inside...i can read from it, but i can't reformat it or write to it at all. it was originally an NTFS drive, so I tried to do an fdisk/mkfs and convert it to ext3, but i get an error about not being able to write the table.
[08:01] <tommytommy> when it mounts, it mounts as read-only, and i've tried to mount it as read and write, but that hasn't worked either
[08:02] <purez> Well.
[08:02] <purez> Now i dont even see the grey bars.
[08:02] <purez> Only the blackground, and i can move my mouse around it
[08:02] <darx> restart x again
[08:03] <darx> lets see what more errors you've got
[08:03] <dkwtcm> Configuration file "/home/default/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals" not writable.
[08:03] <purez> server is already active for display 0
[08:03] <purez> If this server is no longer running, remove tmp/.X0-lock
[08:03] <darx> ctrl alt backspace
[08:03] <dkwtcm> just trying to get a typing tutor on here for my daughter
[08:03] <dkwtcm> it would be great to get past this
[08:03] <purez> ok
[08:03] <purez> alright
[08:03] <dkwtcm> uggh
[08:04] <purez> im on the login screen
[08:04] <PoofDaddy> How do I stop sound juicer from popping up when disc inserted?
[08:04] <Xenguy> !paste
[08:04] <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)
[08:04] <purez> i log in ?
[08:04] <darx> go ahead
[08:04] <purez> I did... i only see the brown background
[08:04] <purez> With a grey box
[08:04] <purez> At the top left
[08:04] <wiz> Is there a way to make pcmcia wifi cards connect to a network when they are inserted?
[08:05] <Ademan> anyone know of any good music synth programs?
[08:05] <darx> purez: weird.. but most probably config errors in xorg.conf
[08:05] <kelsey435> is there a reason why when i finally get some1 to reply to one of my statements, they ask me one question, i respond and they no longer want to help me?
[08:05] <Crazytom> wiz, you mean automatically?
[08:05] <Xenguy> kelsey435: typically that is because they don't know :-)
[08:06] <wiz> Crazytom, yeah that's what I mean :)
[08:06] <purez> Ehm.. so what do i do to see if its the case?
[08:06] <darx> purez: i'm thinking
[08:06] <wiz> Crazytom, I have it all set up right now, but I can't seem to figure out how to make it ifup when the card is inserted automaticly
[08:06] <Xenguy> kelsey435: there is really nothing wrong with your /boot partition being ext2 BTW...
[08:06] <flowbot> so what happens if a net install gets stuck at 90% when in "select and install software" section?! how long before it prompts me to do something? i'm installing along side a resized windows partition, so i want this to go well ...
[08:06] <purez> That's weird.. it worked fine on the Live demo... and now that i install it it doesnt work
[08:06] <purez> >.>
[08:07] <dkwtcm> well, thanks anyway..  appreciate you trying to help..  not all problems can be solved in here..  I'll reinstall if I have to.. got it down to an art after the week that I have had
[08:07] <darx> purez: boot into live and mount your linux partition
[08:07] <dkwtcm> you all have a good night
[08:07] <jmhodges> hey, how do i fix my wacom to screen ratio of movement?
[08:07] <purez> how do i boot on live with linux?
[08:07] <darx> from there you can edit the files properly
[08:07] <jmhodges> i can't figure out how to line them up
[08:07] <kelsey435> Welp, I guess i am just going to have to give up before i ever even get this shit runnig : /
[08:07] <darx> purez: use the cd
[08:08] <darx> and mount the linux partition
[08:08] <purez> the dvd is in the driver
[08:08] <purez> i reboot?
[08:08] <kelsey435> set cdrom has first in boot sequence
[08:08] <darx> yup from the bios
[08:08] <Crazytom> wiz, i don't know how to do that, i would imagine you could put in the file it uses when it autodetects the card
[08:09] <purez> ok
[08:09] <Xenguy> kelsey435: wish I could help - try an install on another PC if you have one available...
[08:09] <darx> just like how you did it initially
[08:09] <Xenguy> kelsey435: just as an experiment
[08:09] <purez> k
[08:09] <tommytommy> does anybody know why a firewire drive would mount as read-only when it automatically comes up in ubuntu 6.10?
[08:09] <flowbot> geez, i've been waiting for an hour for some progress ... this sucks
[08:09] <purez> looks like the DVD is booting now ~_~
[08:09] <rickyfingers_> tommytommy: probably because its ntfs
[08:10] <tommytommy> rickyfingers: it's hfs
[08:10] <tommytommy> but i've also tried fat
[08:10] <wiz> Crazytom: is that /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.conf?
[08:10] <Xenguy> flowbot: something is wrong of course
[08:10] <tommytommy> and ufs..
[08:10] <Crazytom> wiz, no idea
[08:10] <rickyfingers_> tommytommy: I stick my foot in my mouth.
[08:10] <wiz> Crazytom: kk, I'll keep googling :)
[08:10] <darx> purez: once you are in, list your partions by using sfdisk -l
[08:11] <flowbot> Xenguy, so what do i do? does the installer ever go "hey, nothing's happening! time to ask the user what to do ..."?
[08:11] <tommytommy> heh...well, i just want to fdisk it but it seems that fdisk just doesn't want to write new partition tables for me
[08:11] <morgWork> hey guys
[08:12] <morgWork> any tips on getting the dhcp package to log to a different facility in syslog? the only documentation I'm seeing is for dhcp3
[08:12] <Xenguy> flowbot: it's hard to say what is going on, but behaviour like that means something took a wrong turn.  If it were me, I would just start over.  I'd probably also check my network connection, and my /etc/apt/sources.list to make sure everything looked fine
[08:13] <flowbot> Xenguy, damn ... ok, thanks. think i'll have to wait for a feisty that fits on a CD :(
[08:13] <Flannel> flowbot: the current feisty doesn't fit?
[08:13] <purez> i did sfdisk -l and it didnt do anything
[08:14] <darx> try sudo sfdisk -l
[08:14] <Flannel> kelsey435: You have 10GB of boot?
[08:14] <purez> ok
[08:14] <flowbot> Flannel, nah ... 709 mb ... won't fit on CD-Rom
[08:15] <purez> there is
[08:15] <Flannel> flowbot: Interesting.  Did you file a bug?
[08:15] <purez> dev/hd1
[08:15] <purez> ti mean
[08:15] <purez> dev/hda1 to hda5
[08:15] <darx> there should be an ext3 partition
[08:15] <Flannel> flowbot: You could always get an older one.  Herd 3 or whatever
[08:15] <purez> i see no ext3
[08:16] <Flannel> flowbot: You'll have better luc in #ubuntu+1, if there's a workaround or whatnot.  They'll konw
[08:16] <darx> purez: odd... did you see linux
[08:16] <darx> yes linux it is
[08:16] <purez> yes
[08:16] <Flannel> flowbot: they might be able to type coherently too.
[08:16] <purez> 2 stimes
[08:16] <purez> one is Linux, and one is Linux swap / Solaris
[08:16] <darx> the linux is your target partition
[08:17] <darx> now you will mount it
[08:17] <purez> how?
[08:17] <flowbot> Flannel, :D ... cheers
[08:17] <darx> first make a directory.. type mkdir temp
[08:18] <purez> ok
[08:18] <purez> cannot create dir temp
[08:18] <purez> file exists
[08:19] <purez> and btw i went in GParted on live to see
[08:19] <olroy> Hey, what's the Difference between Ubuntu & Kubuntu.  I know one is KDE & one Gnome...but what does that mean in real life terms?  :)
[08:19] <purez> hda1 is indeed EXT3
[08:20] <gnychis> how can i add a source for apt-get?
[08:20] <kelsey435> flannel: you back?
[08:20] <Flannel> olroy: just different GUI environments, and then the associated programs that go with each (KDE apps in Kubuntu, Gnome apps in gnome, etc)
[08:20] <netrat> gnychis: edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:20] <Flannel> kelsey435: Why do you have a 10gb /boot?
[08:21] <PoofDaddy> How do I stop sound juicer from popping up when disc inserted?
[08:21] <kelsey435> Flanel: because the first person who was helping set up my partitions told me too
[08:21] <darx> purez: mount the partition in some empty folder by doing this mount -t ext3 /dev/"your linux drive here"/ /"any empty folder here"
[08:21] <olroy> is there a noticable difference between the KDE & gnome?  (aka 1 runs this better or the other is designed more for X) etc
[08:21] <Nergar> 10 gb???
[08:21] <bit_maluco> PoofDaddy, System, Preferences Removable Discs (here is in pt... so i dont know exactly)
[08:22] <darx> purez: mount the partition in some empty folder by doing this mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1/ /"any empty folder here"
[08:22] <purez> pl
[08:22] <purez> ok
[08:22] <netrat> !gnome
[08:22] <ubotu> gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop.
[08:23] <netrat> !kde
[08:23] <ubotu> KDE (http://kde.org) is the K Desktop Environment. To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop", or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . Latest KDE veresion is 3.5.6 for Edgy and 3.5.5 for Dapper. See http://kubuntu.org for more information.
[08:23] <opopanax> well, hello everyone
[08:23] <macd_> !hi | opopanax
[08:23] <ubotu> opopanax: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[08:23] <Flannel> olroy: they're both designed for X, obviously.  And you'd be using completely different programs, so there'd obviously be a difference.  As to which is better, that's personal preference
[08:23] <kelsey435> since apparently the first person who was helping me told me to make a 10gb boot, can someone guide me in the right direction of what i should be doing?
[08:23] <LiENUS> xchat is missing the menu from the main window
[08:24] <LiENUS> how to be the fixing?
[08:24] <olroy> cool, thx for the help guys
[08:24] <Flannel> olroy: It's possible to run both on the same Ubuntu (the linux distro) install.  Just install one with the CD, then apt-get the other.
[08:24] <purez> i did sudo mount -t ext/dev/hda1/ /darkx
[08:24] <purez> it didnt work :o
[08:24] <olroy> hrm
[08:24] <bit_maluco> kelsey435, no one need a 10G boot
[08:24] <opopanax> so i moved /boot to / and changed /boot/grub/menu.lst to point to the right partition.  however, every time a kernel updates, a script rewrites my menu.lst to point to hd(0,0) instead of hd(0,2)
[08:24] <macd_> LiENUS, right click in xchat view --> menubar
[08:24] <opopanax> lol
[08:24] <Flannel> kelsey435: 10gb? wow.  You won't need more than a 512MB boot.  Ever.  And even that might be overkill
[08:24] <darx> purez: you have to mount it on an existing empty folder
[08:24] <kelsey435> <--- i have no fucking idea as to what i am doinghas
[08:24] <Flannel> !language
[08:24] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[08:24] <purez> oh.
[08:24] <darx> mount won't make a folder for you
[08:24] <purez> so i do sudo mkdir darkx before?
[08:25] <Flannel> kelsey435: alright, so, let's reinstall, shall we?  See if we can't figure out your partitioning error, at that.
[08:25] <kelsey435> sorry
[08:25] <Flannel> kelsey435: do you have the alternate or the desktop CD?
[08:25] <cafuego_> opopanax: You need to fix your menu.lst entry for '# groot'
[08:25] <darx> purez: there must be a /mnt folder
[08:25] <kelsey435> you talking about the iso i recorded?
[08:25] <cafuego_> opopanax: Even through it starts with a comment, it's used as the replate entry.
[08:25] <darx> mount it there
[08:25] <purez> ok
[08:25] <Flannel> kelsey435: yeah.  which ISO did you download and burn?
[08:25] <opopanax> cafuego, ok, that's kinda neat.
[08:25] <purez> nope
[08:25] <purez> there isnt
[08:25] <cafuego_> opopanax: I think the other one is kroot
[08:25] <kelsey435> flannel: 6.1
[08:26] <darx> try ls /
[08:26] <cafuego_> You need to update both, then any automatic grubbery will use the correct devices.
[08:26] <Flannel> kelsey435: right.  6.10, but "Desktop" or "alternate"?
[08:26] <EADG> When trying to view a .jpg over ssh -X connection with zgv I get this error "zgv: you must be the owner of the current console to run zgv." Any suggestions?
[08:26] <opopanax> heh, automatic grubbery, heh
[08:26] <purez> and?
[08:26] <darx> purez: try ls /
[08:26] <opopanax> thanks, cafuego
[08:26] <purez> i did it
[08:26] <kelsey435> I clicked on desktop as opposed to server
[08:26] <purez> it lists some dirs
[08:26] <darx> does it show an mnt
[08:26] <purez> yep
[08:26] <opopanax> i'm used to gentoo...where you do everything
[08:26] <Flannel> kelsey435: right. So, desktop.  Ok.  (Alternate isn't server, by the way)
[08:27] <opopanax> hard for me to let go
[08:27] <darx> purez: thats it
[08:27] <kelsey435> flannel: I just remember download > then it took me to a choice of desktop or server
[08:27] <macd_> opopanax, welcome to the world of a maintainable and useable distro ;P less time emerging more time using.
[08:27] <darx> purez: so mount -t /dev/hda1 /mnt
[08:27] <cafuego_> EADG: You can't use zgv, it uses local devices.
[08:28] <opopanax> macd, bah
[08:28] <cafuego_> Specifically svgalib. You can't tunnel that.
[08:28] <Flannel> kelsey435: alternate CD is a text based install (instead of the GUI one), that is usually more stable and robust.
[08:28] <Flannel> kelsey435: right.  Sounds good.
[08:28] <kelsey435> flannel: ok
[08:28] <EADG> That explains that, thanks cafuego_
[08:28] <Flannel> kelsey435: Alternate CD isnt on the main download page, for some random reason.
[08:28] <darx> purez: how did it go?
[08:28] <opopanax> i loved portage.  i'd love ubuntu, probably better, except for annoyances like lrm
[08:28] <Flannel> kelsey435: so, start the install, and when you get to partitioning, let me know
[08:28] <purez> it's not working, it keeps telling me the usage
[08:28] <darx> purez: so mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /mnt
[08:28] <darx> sorry
[08:29] <purez> oh.
[08:29] <darx> my fault
[08:29] <purez> it's my fault, i didnt put a space between ext3 and /dev
[08:29] <purez> ;)
[08:29] <purez> ok now it says
[08:29] <thepumpkin1979_> somebody is using gnuitar or other Guitar Effects software?
[08:29] <opopanax> if i upgrade kernel foo.bar.1 and i have lrm-foo.bar.1 installed, when the kernel upgrades, i'd like to see lrm-foo.bar.1 upgrade, too.  but I know dependencies don't work that way, which is a shame.
[08:30] <purez> Special device /dev/hda1/ does not exist
[08:30] <purez> a path prefix is not a directory
[08:30] <cafuego_> opopanax: If you have the kernel and lrm meta packages installed, that should happen.
[08:30] <darx> purez: so mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /mnt
[08:30] <kelsey435> flannel: i am there
[08:30] <darx> copy paste
[08:30] <darx> if you can
[08:30] <opopanax> not happening...i'll look at what metapackages are installed...gimmeminnit
[08:30] <Flannel> kelsey435: alright.  So, you want /boot on a separate partition, anything else?  /home? or anything?
[08:31] <kelsey435> flannel: mind if we move to a pm, i usually get lost in these windows if they get active
[08:31] <purez> ok
[08:31] <purez> it didnt say anything now
[08:31] <Flannel> kelsey435: join #ubuntu-classroom
[08:31] <cafuego_> opopanax: ie: linux-image-generic and linux-restricted-modules-generic
[08:31] <purez> k
[08:31] <purez> its mounted
[08:31] <darx> phew
[08:31] <cafuego_> That'll at least fix automatic updates.
[08:31] <fol> hi, I'm trying to change $PATH so that bash looks for executables in the current directory. anyone know how to do this?
[08:31] <darx> now browse /mnt
[08:31] <opopanax> cafuego, yah, understand that part :-)
[08:32] <darx> go to /mnt/etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:32] <d0lph1n> can anyone help me connect to my school's IMAP server thru VPN.  i'm connected and can send mail thru SMTP, n i can login w/ telnet.  thx for any help
[08:32] <purez> browse: command not found .__.
[08:32] <purez> lol
[08:32] <darx> use your file browser
[08:32] <arooni> hey can i have a dictionary
[08:32] <darx> browse is not a command
[08:32] <cafuego_> purez: alias browse='cd $*; ls'
[08:32] <purez> o

[08:33] <arooni> also a contextual dictionary / thesarus for ubuntu would be nice... ideas?
[08:34] <cafuego_> varuious aslepp dictionaries.thesauri?
[08:34] <cafuego_> aspell, not aslep
[08:34] <purez> ok
[08:34] <opopanax> should i be concerned if lrm-generic is not the same version number as lrm-2.6.20-14-generic?
[08:34] <purez> its oepn with gedit
[08:34] <purez> i can probably cp it to you
[08:34] <arooni> huh?
[08:35] <nonuda> how to add systray in panel?
[08:35] <arooni> i'm looking for an english dictionary / thesaurs
[08:35] <arooni> for my ubuntu
[08:35] <crimsun> opopanax: not at all.
[08:35] <cafuego_> opopanax: Nope, as long as the right package depends on it.
[08:35] <d0lph1n> can anyone help me connect to my school's IMAP server thru VPN.  i'm connected and can send mail thru SMTP, n i can login w/ telnet.  thx for any help
[08:35] <darx> paste it here http://pastebin.ca/

[08:35] <opopanax> thanks
[08:35] <darx> and post the link here
[08:35] <NBrepresent> hi, can someone help walk me through setting up my partitions with gparted? i'm trying to install following a tutorial, but the 'beginner' option (resize IDE master, partition#1) is not available for me..
[08:36] <NBrepresent> looks like i'll have to manually edit, so can someone tell me exactly what to do, how to set mount points, etc.?
[08:36] <purez> http://www.pastebin.ca/428047
[08:36] <opopanax> ok, making progress.
[08:36] <opopanax> loving beryl, too, btw.  nice and refined now
[08:36] <opopanax> still buggy in places, but not bad for 0.40
[08:36] <G^Deka> hi all
[08:37] <NBrepresent> hello? i'm kind of in panic mode here.
[08:37] <opopanax> NBrepresent, go ahead
[08:38] <NBrepresent> i'd really like to finish installing, but the 'resize IDE1 master' option was not available
[08:38] <FunnyLookinHat> opopanax, his problem is above, needs help with gparted
[08:38] <G^Deka> I have a gdm login problem, when i login it shows a shell then gdm pops up again, any ideas ????
[08:38] <opopanax> FunnyLookinHat, my bad... :-)
[08:38] <NBrepresent> so it looks like i have to manually edit the partition table, which is scary.
[08:38] <FunnyLookinHat> : )
[08:38] <NBrepresent> i've backed up my windows partition, but of course i'd still like to avoid losing all the data.
[08:39] <squiggie> can someone help me mount a drive?
[08:39] <opopanax> i know that gparted will not resize ntfs partitions
[08:39] <NBrepresent> so, would someone here be able to guide me through how to manually partition things correctly so i can get up and running?
[08:39] <Andy8372> can anyone help me with wifi PLEASE !! :)
[08:39] <NBrepresent> opopanax: yes, it will
[08:39] <darx> purez: i've taken you so far.. the next step is not something i know.. but i suggest you remove section extensions.. i cant guarantee it'll work
[08:39] <opopanax> will it?
[08:39] <jersey_devil> .sorcery.net
[08:39] <NBrepresent> opopanax: yep, you can check online if you want.
[08:39] <purez> ok
[08:39] <G^Deka> opopanax: gparted will resize NTFS, i did it yesterday
[08:40] <opopanax> ok, my bad.  i tried the other day, and it bugged at me
[08:40] <NBrepresent> G^Deka: we should talk.
[08:40] <jersey_devil> man kbuntu sux comapred to fedora or opensuse
[08:40] <DigitalDeviant> what are some advantages of using ubuntu over windows?
[08:40] <G^Deka> I have a gdm login problem, when i login it shows a shell then gdm pops up again, any ideas ????
[08:40] <jersey_devil> outta here
[08:40] <opopanax> oh, i bet it was edgy's that wouldn't...
[08:40] <darx> purez: if you want to you could try removing the whole section from section to endsection  of extensions
[08:40] <opopanax> no, wait, it was qtparted.
[08:40] <darx> save the file and reboot
[08:41] <purez> ok
[08:41] <darx> or ask someone else with your link as referance
[08:41] <G^Deka> NBrepresent: sure thing, its still not all smooth, windows wont boot, but at least i fixed my partition table, it thought my NTFS was FAT16, thank god for xtknight
[08:41] <purez> arggg
[08:41] <NBrepresent> G^Deka: what's xtknight?
[08:41] <purez> i dont have the permission to save the file
[08:41] <opopanax> i'd recommend using a third party app called BootITNG.  it's kinda slow, but it has never let me down, works great.
[08:42] <darx> purez: open the file by using this ... sudo gedit /mnt/etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:42] <Andy8372> any help with wifi?
[08:42] <purez> ok
[08:42] <darx> and save it
[08:42] <darx> after carefully editing out the whole section for extensions
[08:43] <opopanax> Andy8372, what's the prob?
[08:43] <opopanax> (wifi i can do)
[08:43] <G^Deka> NBrepresent: a user on here
[08:43] <NBrepresent> G^Deka: can you give me a hand with my partition table then?
[08:43] <darx> that is line 41 to 43 in on the pastebin link
[08:43] <NBrepresent> i already know how to right click and resize, i guess it's the mounting and boot flags and stuff that i don't know.
[08:43] <darx> sorry 43 to 45
[08:44] <NBrepresent> also, does it matter what order the partitions are in?
[08:44] <darx> purez: ^
[08:44] <purez> yes?
[08:44] <GekiBlue> Okay... Er... Color me retarded, but I've installed the "gtk2-engines-redmond95" package... and can't seem to figure out how to use it?
[08:44] <darx> line 43 to 45 from pastebin
[08:44] <G^Deka> NBrepresent: sure, what is the exact issue
[08:44] <darx> link
[08:44] <G^Deka> I have a gdm login problem, when i login it shows a shell then gdm pops up again, any ideas ???? Please, i need at least 1 working OS
[08:45] <Andy8372> opopanax: i can't connect :S
[08:45] <NBrepresent> G^Deka: i'm not sure i have an exact issue. i just need a few questions answered along the way.
[08:45] <NBrepresent> like, does it matter what order the partitions are in?
[08:45] <darx> purez: save it reboot and eject your cd and boot into ubuntu
[08:45] <NBrepresent> and since i'm on a dell, with extra hidden partitions, will they screw stuff up? can i remove them, or ignore them?
[08:45] <G^Deka> NBrepresent: any order, i usually leave my windows as the first, for most people it seems to be hda1
[08:46] <ra21vi> hello Humans  :)
[08:46] <GekiBlue> Can anyone help me? :D Please and thanks... :)
[08:46] <G^Deka> NBrepresent: i would leave them if i was you
[08:46] <bulmer> order of partitions do not matter, one can have the boot on hda7 and /swap on hda1
[08:46] <ra21vi> GekiBlue: put your questions
[08:46] <GekiBlue> Okay... Er... Color me retarded, but I've installed the "gtk2-engines-redmond95" package... and can't seem to figure out how to use it?
[08:46] <opopanax> note* 'doze won't boot from the extended partition.
[08:46] <NBrepresent> G^Deka: ok, will do. now how do i MOVE a partition? i can only get the resize dialog.
[08:46] <GekiBlue> It doesn't show up in 'themes'
[08:47] <Andy8372> opopanax: can't PM - msn?
[08:47] <ra21vi> GekiBlue: afaik, its engine, you open theme preferences dialog, and choose redmond.. thats it
[08:47] <GekiBlue> Oh.
[08:47] <purez> damn i wonder if i ever gonna get it to work
[08:47] <G^Deka> NBrepresent: difficult in gparted, is it really nessasry they get moved
[08:47] <GekiBlue> Heh... Sorry. I'm pretty new.
[08:47] <purez> i only see the background
[08:47] <NBrepresent> oh, no i guess not.
[08:48] <GekiBlue> Thanks :)
[08:48] <purez> i did ctrl+alt+backspace and it restarts normally ^_^
[08:48] <bernard__> Hi - im using xchat on ubuntu and its not show any users on the side - can anyone help with this?

[09:01] <giovanni2121> okay
[09:01] <SurfnKid> was looking in the manual but didnt see a lot there
[09:01] <Derek_Russo> Hi, I'm hoping someone can point me to the ATI binary drivers guide.  I've seen it before, but I lost the link
[09:01] <darx> giovanni2121: beta and very buggy that is
[09:01] <giovanni2121> well maybe you can answer 2 general questions?
[09:01] <SurfnKid> !ati
[09:01] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:01] <darx> go ahead
[09:01] <NBrepresent> OK partitions resized!!
[09:01] <Derek_Russo> thanks a lot
[09:01] <david> hey how can i delete a file from the bin folder
[09:01] <SurfnKid> np
[09:01] <giovanni2121> will the release on april 19th be pretty stable and easy to use for a first time linux user
[09:02] <SurfnKid> NBrepresent, you suck i have to do mine :P
[09:02] <giovanni2121> as far as installing all teh drivers and software
[09:02] <david> i tried xgl and no go, so i want to delete the file in the bin folder
[09:02] <giovanni2121> ?
[09:02] <purez> lol >.<
[09:02] <NBrepresent> now, how do i set up the mount points?
[09:02] <Flannel> david: don't.  Remove it with package management
[09:02] <purez> now it says wrong pass :D
[09:02] <SurfnKid> david, #ubuntu-effects
[09:03] <darx> giovanni2121: my guess is as good as yours
[09:03] <darx> purez: that cannot be
[09:03] <Prez_> ne1 running Ubuntu Beta release?
[09:03] <david> i have already removed xgl from the package management, it was just the file that had to be created in the bin folder that i want gone, so when i go to sessions in log in xgl is gone, but i can't seem to delete a file in the bin folder cause i don't have permission to
[09:03] <darx> try again
[09:03] <Prez_> just curios as to how feisty is doing?
[09:03] <NBrepresent> can anyone tell me how i need to set up my mount points?
[09:04] <darx> giovanni2121: its pretty good atm.. i'm having no issues.. i'm pretty noob myself
[09:04] <LastMall> NBrepresent set em up like i do
[09:04] <Flannel> NBrepresent: editing /etc/fstab
[09:04] <darx> purez: how is it going? any luck?
[09:04] <Flannel> NBrepresent: er, this is in the installer?
[09:04] <NBrepresent> yes
[09:04] <NBrepresent> right now i'm trying to install
[09:04] <NBrepresent> talking to you using gaim on the livecd
[09:04] <purez> Nah~ same thing
[09:04] <purez> the beta download is at 24% though
[09:05] <Flannel> NBrepresent: ah.  Ok.  Just link the mount points to their proper partitions.
[09:05] <purez> :p
[09:05] <darx> purez: reinstall the beta.. its pretty good imo
[09:05] <NBrepresent> but it says i have to choose a swap partition
[09:05] <bousquet> I updated /etc/hostname without changing the /etc/hosts file too. now i can't sudo. any ideas to fix?
[09:05] <NBrepresent> i didn't create one just for swap?
[09:05] <purez> aight
[09:05] <darx> purez: install the beta.. that is
[09:05] <purez> ill just boot the live to format then
[09:05] <Flannel> NBrepresent: you have to tell it which one to use for swap
[09:05] <purez> ^_^
[09:05] <NBrepresent> like, a separate partition just for swap?
[09:06] <Flannel> NBrepresent: the first (formatter) just knows to create N partitions of X,Y,Z formats.
[09:06] <bilss_> hi
[09:06] <giovanni2121> okay also darx do you know how to set a primary hdd for bootup, and in your opinion the best boot software to pick an OS to run
[09:06] <giovanni2121> because i have 3 hdds
[09:06] <Flannel> NBrepresent: the second screen is the installer, the first is just a partitioner
[09:06] <giovanni2121> one running vista, the other xp pro, and the third ubuntu 7.04
[09:06] <darx> purez: you'll be in your element in two months time.. it'll have its quirks but then again you can sleep peacefully without windoze
[09:06] <NBrepresent> yes, but now i'm at the mount points screen, after the gparted part
[09:07] <NBrepresent> are you saying i can just click 'forward'?
[09:07] <purez> yep :)
[09:07] <giovanni2121> and the linux one always boots first for some reason, but I'd like to change that to xp pro otherwise what linux program do you recommend to do that if there is a better one for linux then windows
[09:07] <Flannel> NBrepresent: No.  You need to select your partitions.  So, the one you made for swap, gets mounted as such, and the others get mounted appropriately
[09:07] <Flannel> NBrepresent: so yes, you do need to make a partition explicitly for swap space.  If that's what you're confused about
[09:07] <NBrepresent> ah, so i have to go back and make another partition for swap[
[09:07] <NBrepresent> will do
[09:08] <darx> giovanni2121: you are a bit confused.. if you can log into linux, you can change that in grub config. grub is the "boot software"
[09:08] <Flannel> NBrepresent: and it'll be "swap" filesystem, not ext3
[09:08] <darx> giovanni2121: its the best
[09:08] <choq> how can i install vmware server
[09:08] <NBrepresent> Flannel: thanks a lot for you help
[09:08] <NBrepresent> s/you/your
[09:08] <darx> and ubuntu is the best distro for newbies like you and me
[09:08] <purez> :D
[09:08] <purez> and me
[09:08] <NBrepresent> how much swap?
[09:08] <SurfnKid> best? no
[09:08] <SurfnKid> BESTESTESTEST
[09:08] <NBrepresent> just like 2gb?
[09:08] <SuperQ> lol
[09:08] <darx> purez: exactly
[09:08] <choq> help
[09:08] <Flannel> NBrepresent: How much RAM do you have?
[09:09] <NBrepresent> 512
[09:09] <bilss_> darx: thanks for the info on vlc player it plays avi ok but only audio on wmv
[09:09] <cafuego_> SurfnKid: Hmm. possibly simply with `dd'.
[09:09] <Flannel> NBrepresent: 1GB is appropriate
[09:09] <giovanni2121> okay how do i change grub to select different OS's cause when i press esc to enter the grub menu
[09:09] <SurfnKid> bilss_, install w32codecs so you can get the video part on the wmv's
[09:09] <giovanni2121> it only gives me different ways of running ubuntu
[09:09] <SurfnKid> bilss_, had that problem yesterday
[09:09] <SurfnKid> !w32codecs
[09:09] <ubotu> Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages, including the win32 codecs: see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - See also !Codecs
[09:09] <purez> darx
[09:09] <giovanni2121> and is there a way to make it so the menu auto runs upon startup instead of having to press esc?
[09:09] <Flannel> giovanni2121: you'll need to add them to your grub menu, by editing /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:09] <darx> bilss_: happy to help, if you go to ubuntu wiki, it has a lot of info on how to install codes
[09:09] <purez> do i format back to ntfs?
[09:10] <Flannel> giovanni2121: You can change the "Default" option in GRUB as well, yes.
[09:10] <darx> purez: why would you want to?
[09:10] <darx> ext3 is better
[09:10] <purez> to start fresh new when ill install the beta
[09:10] <purez> ^_^
[09:10] <purez> ok
[09:10] <choq> helooo
[09:10] <giovanni2121> okay so i go through my folder directory to do that or run grub right now and I will see where to change it?
[09:10] <Flannel> giovanni2121: also, if you don't want to hide the menu, comment out "hiddenmenu" (with a #) in that file as well.  You'll get the menu every time (with a count down)
[09:10] <giovanni2121> thanks flannel
[09:10] <choq> how can i install vmware server
[09:10] <darx> ntfs is windows.. nt file system ntfs
[09:10] <Flannel> giovanni2121: that's a file.  Edit it.  then enxt time you reboot, grub will be different
[09:10] <SurfnKid> bilss_, ya get that part?
[09:10] <NBrepresent> Flannel: it says that i can't create more than 4 primary partitions (there were three to begin with, all from my windows installation). dell has hidden backup partitions or something for system restore.
[09:11] <bilss_> darx: thanks I will do that
[09:11] <purez> oh
[09:11] <purez> lol
[09:11] <bousquet> is there a default root user in ubuntu?
[09:11] <Flannel> NBrepresent: right.  You need to create an extended partition (your fourth primary partition becomes an extended partition)
[09:11] <bousquet> i broke sudo and now i can't fix it cuz i can't sudo
[09:11] <Flannel> NBrepresent: then inside that, you'll create logical volumes
[09:11] <NBrepresent> ok
[09:11] <Flannel> bousquet: reboot, at GRUB, recovery console
[09:11] <Flannel> NBrepresent: er, logical partitions.
[09:12] <ra21vi> hello there
[09:12] <bousquet> Flannel: ok, i'll try that
[09:12] <ra21vi> has someone used Feisty Beta
[09:12] <choq> yes im using fiesty
[09:12] <Flannel> ra21vi: #ubuntu+1 for Feisty stuff
[09:12] <cafuego_> Lots of people in #ubuntu+1
[09:12] <NBrepresent> Flannel: ok, i've got my extended partition
[09:12] <ra21vi> choq: is there any performance enhancements
[09:12] <SurfnKid> NBrepresent, had that 4 partition problem just 1 hour ago trying to expand my 20gb with another 20gb i had spare, but cant do more than 4 partitions
[09:13] <Flannel> NBrepresent: inside that, you'll end up making logical partitions, so, remake whatever you had before
[09:13] <darx> ra21vi: feisty here as well
[09:13] <SurfnKid> just gonna merge the 20+20gb=40 and screw the splitting
[09:13] <SurfnKid> :)
[09:13] <darx> ra21vi: install xubuntu
[09:13] <choq> yap
[09:13] <Flannel> SurfnKid: you need to make 40GB extended, then two logical partitions inside of that
[09:13] <SurfnKid> (which means i have to reinstall)
[09:13] <ra21vi> darx: nah, i like Gnome,
[09:13] <Flannel> SurfnKid, NBrepresent: http://www.pcguide.com/ref/hdd/file/structPartitions-c.html  for more info on the Primary/extended/logical thing
[09:13] <SurfnKid> hmm let me see what i got
[09:14] <darx> ra21vi: more ram
[09:14] <giovanni2121> Flannel: Okay so thanks for the help so far but one more quick question, how do I go about adding other OS's to the grub file
[09:14] <Flannel> SurfnKid: Eh?  You can expand partitions.  Also, look into LVM
[09:14] <ra21vi> darx: yup, thats sad
[09:14] <ra21vi> :)
[09:14] <darx> ra21vi: ha ha
[09:14] <darx> :)
[09:14] <ra21vi> gnome is ram hungry
[09:14] <Flannel> giovanni2121: Which OS is it?
[09:14] <giovanni2121> i just # out the hidden menu
[09:14] <giovanni2121> okay so i have xp pro installed on one harddrive
[09:14] <giovanni2121> and vista ultimate on another
[09:15] <ra21vi> giovanni2121: do u test with those os's
[09:15] <darx> giovanni2121: you are rich
[09:15] <SurfnKid> Flannel, yes i know i can, thats what i want to do so I dont reformat the darn thing, ill look into LVM :D
[09:15] <SurfnKid> i hate to reinstall
[09:15] <giovanni2121> haha more like i have a underground torrent site
[09:15] <giovanni2121> where i get them for free
[09:15] <giovanni2121> haha
[09:15] <darx> ha ha
[09:15] <ra21vi> giovanni2121: people saying vista lets u do more if u continue to pay more
[09:15] <giovanni2121> plus i got a couple of guys in my fraternity who are in the CSE major
[09:15] <darx> escape before the assimilate you
[09:16] <bilss_> darx: i am typing w32codecs at the ubuntu wiki page but nothing comes up
[09:16] <giovanni2121> who get all that shit free with tons of keys from microsoft
[09:16] <Adlai> I believe it was a recent update (running feisty currently) that broke this, but all of a sudden my usb device is not recognized
[09:16] <DavyT> hi
[09:16] <darx> bilss_: try restricted formats
[09:16] <bousquet> Flannel: thanks, that was an odd situation
[09:16] <Adlai> unplugging/replugging does not yield anything in dmesg
[09:16] <bousquet> Flannel: i was able to fix via rescue console
[09:16] <Adlai> and I've checked that the correct modules are loaded
[09:16] <giovanni2121> ra21vi: no i don't test i use those for games, i haven't heard of ubuntu being up to date with stuff liek oblivion yet, but correct me if I'm wrong
[09:16] <Adlai> anyone else having this problem?
[09:16] <giovanni2121> cause i wouldn't mind just using ubuntu
[09:17] <Derek__> Hi, I"ve run into some problems again trying to get ubuntu's video to work.  I just went through the ATI binary driver guide, and now when I boot, the boot freezes very close to the end of the progress bar.  I get some weird colored lines under the progress bar and nothing happens
[09:17] <DavyT> quick question, running ubuntu with a nvidia 8800GTX
[09:17] <ra21vi> giovanni2121: yup, right, i use to play CS CZ on Ubuntu...
[09:17] <DavyT> is that an option?
[09:17] <pirothezero> why is it that in details/list in any windows manager on linux it doesn't tell you the size of each folders instead if gives you the # of items?
[09:17] <ra21vi> but when do i, i get killed many times...
[09:17] <ra21vi> mouse problems
[09:17] <Flannel> giovanni2121: I... don't know about vista.  XP is pretty easy though: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Grub_configure_examples
[09:17] <giovanni2121> Flannel: sorry to bother again but how do I add vista and xp pro to the grub menu?
[09:17] <Adlai> pirothezero: because you didn't tell it to
[09:17] <giovanni2121> k
[09:17] <Flannel> giovanni2121: I have no idea.  Never dealt with vista.
[09:17] <giovanni2121> hmm
[09:18] <bilss_> darx: ok iam reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[09:18] <Adlai> anyone have any ideas on the USB thing?
[09:18] <pirothezero> Adlai, interesting because about 2 months ago I was in #kubuntu and asked that and few people said you couldn't
[09:18] <Derek__> Would anyone be willing to help me troubleshoot?
[09:18] <pirothezero> how do you do it
[09:18] <Adlai> pirothezero: depends on the file manager you're using
[09:18] <NBrepresent> shit, i didn't set the boot flag on the linux partition
[09:18] <ra21vi> giovanni2121: if u want to research, just dig into c:\boot.ini file, that will give u sort of information if its same like winxp boot string.. then u may use old grub config with one entry more...
[09:18] <NBrepresent> is that going to be a major issue?
[09:18] <pirothezero> gnome/nautilus
[09:19] <Adlai> just go through the configuration and see if it has an option for that
[09:19] <NBrepresent> Flannel: ^^
[09:19] <giovanni2121> so how do i figure out which hdd i have xp on?
[09:19] <giovanni2121> when i do the boot menu off of the bios
[09:20] <giovanni2121> xp is on teh first hdd and linux on the second
[09:20] <Mattuu> Can anyone help me?
[09:20] <Derek__> My ubuntu was booting just fine, but then I did the line sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv and added a couple lines to xorg.conf like the guide said, now it won't boot
[09:20] <ra21vi> today i startd to study nautilus code.... downloaded source, and started digging in.. laster i opened my book and started preparing for examination rather than reading those programming callbacks which i cannt understand
[09:20] <giovanni2121> but i don't know if thats in the computer's order
[09:20] <Adlai> does anyone know why USB devices are not being recognized after a recent update in feisty?
[09:20] <Flannel> Adlai: #ubuntu+1 for Feisty support
[09:21] <Adlai> gyarr, thanks
[09:21] <Flannel> giovanni2121: hd0,0 is probably what windows is on.
[09:21] <Flannel> giovanni2121: that'd be first partition of primary master
[09:21] <ra21vi> giovanni2121: which filesystem for Vista
[09:21] <NBrepresent> Flannel: so is it a big deal that i forgot to set the boot flag on my linux partition?
[09:22] <foug> yo, anyone around? got a simple noobie question
[09:22] <giovanni2121> ra21vi: filesystem? you mean version? ultimate
[09:22] <[Phaedrus] > Is there a way to do remote desktop to your ubuntu machine, from windows?
[09:22] <Derek__> any suggestions on what I can do?  I would really like to use ubuntu, but it's proving to be quite a challenge
[09:22] <Serge_K>  tested MueCow LTSP, works well.. but anyone has a script for NX client??? I got my own but it isnt that perfect....
[09:22] <ompaul> NBrepresent, if no other booting operating system is - then yes
[09:22] <giovanni2121> and Flannel: in my menu.lst it has the options for linux under hd(0,0)
[09:22] <ompaul> !nickspam > caffeinated
[09:22] <NBrepresent> ompaul: i have xp set to boot
[09:22] <giovanni2121> so does that mean xp is maybe (1,0)
[09:22] <giovanni2121> ?
[09:22] <ra21vi> giovanni2121: no, FAT or NTFS or didwindows introduced some new (no, cannt be)
[09:22] <NBrepresent> but i'd like to boot to linux
[09:22] <darx> foug: don't ask to ask,, ask
[09:22] <giovanni2121> ntfs
[09:22] <ompaul> caffeinated, please read the message the bot send you
[09:22] <NBrepresent> i guess i'll just boot the livecd again and change it.
[09:22] <ra21vi> giovanni2121: (0,0)
[09:22] <ompaul> NBrepresent, did you install grub?
[09:23] <Flannel> giovanni2121: do you have two physical drives?
[09:23] <giovanni2121> i have 3
[09:23] <NBrepresent> ompaul: i don't know
[09:23] <caffeinated> ompaul: sorry bro
[09:23] <NBrepresent> ompaul: i'm just using the installer
[09:23] <ra21vi> giovanni2121: ok, let me know what problem u have... tell me now
[09:23] <NBrepresent> right now it's 'copying files'
[09:23] <foug> if i want to install ubuntu, do i need to bakc up all my files i want to save? or can ubuntu save them when installing over windows?
[09:23] <ompaul> NBrepresent, perhaps playing with the installer is the way forward
[09:23] <Flannel> giovanni2121: then you'll have hd0, hd1, and hd2.  Which are primary master, primary slave, and secondary master.  With partitions on each (after the comma)
[09:23] <caffeinated> Does anyone know how to change the number of lines the mouse wheel scrolls through?
[09:23] <darx> foug: its always safer to backup
[09:23] <bilss_> darx: no mention of w32codecs on that page
[09:23] <DavyT> Has anyone tried installing ubuntu on a nvidia 8800 GTX yet?
[09:24] <giovanni2121> okay so if each one is an entire partition in itself
[09:24] <giovanni2121> then it will just be like hd(1,0 and hd(2,0) right?
[09:24] <opopanax> is there a way to ensure that dhcp doesn't override your nameserver options in resolv.conf?
[09:24] <Flannel> giovanni2121: if each harddrive has it's own, single partition, yeah.  exactly
[09:24] <darx> foug:partitioning can go horribly wrong
[09:24] <SurfnKid> bilss_, let me get you the w32codecs link
[09:24] <giovanni2121> okay
[09:24] <giovanni2121> hmm
[09:24] <cafuego_> DavyT: Nah, not enough disk space on the 8800
[09:24] <opopanax> i should know this, but i'm high on monster energy drinks right now.
[09:24] <giovanni2121> alright one sec let me code it and see if its right
[09:24] <cafuego_> and the CD doesn't fit
[09:24] <Flannel> giovanni2121: Also, if windows is on a second harddrive, you'll need to do the mapping stuff (second set of examples), to make it think it's on the first.

[09:25] <DavyT> Has anyone tried installing ubuntu on a computer with a nvidia 8800 GTX graphics card... yet?
[09:25] <caffeinated> Does anyone know how to change the number of lines the mouse wheel scrolls through?
[09:25] <ra21vi> caffeinated: well , it must be in xconf
[09:25] <ra21vi> wait
[09:25] <ra21vi> let me check
[09:26] <[Phaedrus] > Is there a way to do remote desktop to your ubuntu machine, from windows?
[09:26] <darx> putty
[09:26] <Derek__> Can anyone offer advice on my problem of the boot freezing?
[09:26] <ra21vi> no its not
[09:26] <foug> when i install ubuntu, it will completly erase all the windows stuff right
[09:26] <Broady> guys - theres a printer driver that works on redhat, suse, fedora, novell -- will it work on ubuntu?
[09:26] <ekul`> no foug
[09:26] <NBrepresent> DavyT:  why don't you try running the livecd to see whether things work ok?
[09:26] <ekul`> install it to a different partition
[09:26] <ekul`> and you can have a dual-boot system
[09:26] <[Phaedrus] > foug: there are ways to save it.
[09:26] <opopanax> i think i found it.  if i take "domain-name-servers" out of the request line in dhclient.conf, will it not take the router's dns crap?
[09:26] <foug> well, i don't want to save it
[09:26] <DavyT> NBrepresent: because I thought ubuntu was african for helpful IRC channel
[09:27] <darx> foug: depends on how you install it.. you can partition it
[09:27] <SurfnKid> bilss_, hang on im gettin that for ya
[09:27] <ekul`> then install it over windows
[09:27] <NBrepresent> DavyT: haha, point taken
[09:27] <foug> k, so installing it over windows is kinda like buying a new HD? all windows stuff gone for sure?
[09:27] <darx> foug: if you don't want to save anything, the ubuntu install cd will take care of itself..
[09:27] <DavyT> seriously though, I'm downloading it
[09:27] <foug> cool
[09:27] <Flannel> DavyT: just grab the alternate CD.  It'll work.
[09:28] <darx> foug: it'll wipe your drive clean for you.. just let it do automatic
[09:28] <ekul`> I just installed LinuxMCE and now i have a problem, at bootup i get 2 linux kernels to chose from, the computer is no longer 'luke-desktop' but 'dcerouter' and i get "Failed ti iniatialzie HAL!" error at startup, LinuxMCE doesnt work and my graphicws cards all seem to be rolled backt o the original ones because scrolling is so slow and liney
[09:28] <david> is it possible to sync a nokia e61 with evolution?
[09:28] <foug> darx: cool
[09:28] <DavyT> Flannel: and the normal one wont?
[09:28] <SurfnKid> bilss_, you there? follow this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/WindowsCodecs  the 2 commands on top
[09:28] <foug> can ubuntu run WoW and half life 2?
[09:29] <Flannel> DavyT: I have no idea whether teh desktop CD will work.  It should.  The alt CD will, 100%.  Since it doesn't care what graphics card you have (it's not a liveCD, just an installer)
[09:29] <Flannel> foug: Yes, and I don't know.
[09:29] <Crazytom> foug, i've heard of wow being rund on ubuntu
[09:29] <ra21vi> foug: whats WoW
[09:29] <bilss_> SurfnKid: thanks i will take a look
[09:29] <ekul`> !linuxmce
[09:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about linuxmce - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:29] <opopanax> foug, it will run WoW under wine with some modification, howtos everywhere.  Half-Life 2 you'll need cedega and it doesn't work very well.
[09:29] <rickyfingers_> foug: if your processor supports virtualization, then you can run anything windows.
[09:29] <foug> ra21vi: stay away from wow you don't want it
[09:29] <Crazytom> !games > foug
[09:29] <opopanax> dual bot if you want nice games
[09:29] <DavyT> Flannel: ok, thanks brother
[09:29] <rickyfingers_> foug: Xen.
[09:29] <Flannel> foug: winehq.com, check their support list thing
[09:29] <opopanax> dual boot, rather.

[09:29] <ubotu> Information about games on Ubuntu can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php and ubuntugames.org
[09:29] <SurfnKid> bilss_, it'll download the file then second command will install the codecs :)
[09:29] <ra21vi> foug: tell me whats WoW
[09:29] <ekul`> !nvidia
[09:29] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:29] <ekul`> World of warcraft
[09:29] <opopanax> World of Warcraft
[09:29] <SurfnKid> Broady the gamer
[09:29] <DavyT> I guess my question, however, is whether or not there is actual support for the 8800gtx on ubuntu
[09:29] <Broady> SurfnKid: how you doing?
[09:29] <opopanax> DAMN, ekul` beat me
[09:30] <ra21vi> dx based.. right
[09:30] <DavyT> I'm sure I can install it and run it w/VESA
[09:30] <foug> thanks for all the help and links
[09:30] <ekul`> :P
[09:30] <foug> ra21vi: world of warcraft
[09:30] <SurfnKid> much better now that Flannel helped out
[09:30] <Broady> :)
[09:30] <ra21vi> well, u can play GL based games on Ubuntu without much problem,
[09:30] <ra21vi> like  cs cz
[09:30] <SurfnKid> just organizing stuff, runnin out of space!
[09:30] <caffeinated> ra21vi: Any idea what I would add to xorg.conf to change the mouse scroll speed?
[09:30] <Broady> Theres a printer driver that works on redhat, suse, fedora, novell -- will it work on ubuntu?
[09:30] <Flannel> ekul`: LinuxMCE isn't ubuntu.  You should get support from them.  Sounds like they made some funky changes, they'll know what they did
[09:30] <foug> hmm, so basically games don't really run on ubuntu, o'well
[09:30] <ra21vi> caffeinated: sorry buddy, its not in xorg, i checked and replied back then.. well...
[09:30] <ra21vi> let me google it
[09:30] <purez> =P
[09:31] <opopanax> foug, there's lots of games that run under ubuntu
[09:31] <darx> purez: hows it going?
[09:31] <opopanax> just not most windows games
[09:31] <foug> well, the only game i really play is WoW
[09:31] <purexUbuntu> the beta download is at 69% darx
[09:31] <opopanax> foug, WoW will do great under ubuntu
[09:31] <foug> cool
[09:31] <giovanni2121> Flannel or ra21vi: okay so when doing xp pro in the menu.lst do i need to worry about the following lines: kernel, quiet splash, initrd, quiet, save defualt
[09:31] <giovanni2121> ??
[09:31] <purexUbuntu> im exploring the live version
[09:31] <purexUbuntu> =P
[09:31] <rickyfingers_> foug: I think people are also using  cedega and wine to play wow, but I don't.
[09:31] <giovanni2121> because the linux options available have those lines so im kinda confused
[09:32] <giovanni2121> thanks for all your help again
[09:32] <foug> will i have to set up the hardware in my computer? or is it like in windows where i just download drivers?
[09:32] <giovanni2121> I really appreciate it

[09:32] <darx> purexubuntu: cool
[09:32] <Flannel> giovanni2121: no.  Linux options are for linux.  All you need is the... two lines for windows or whatever.
[09:32] <giovanni2121> so does this look good?

[09:32] <Flannel> giovanni2121: and this should be added at the VERY end of your menu.lst, after the "end debian automatic kernels list"
[09:32] <Flannel> giovanni2121: please don't paste here.
[09:32] <Flannel> butyes.
[09:33] <giovanni2121> sorry
[09:33] <Flannel> er, wait.  Aren't you supposed to root after the mapping?
[09:33] <giovanni2121> the example you gave me did it before
[09:33] <bartmon> hi! I have a q about my built in memory card reader. It detects when a card is inserted but it doesn't auto mount the filesystem. Can anyone tell me, where I can find out which device to mount manually?
[09:33] <Flannel> giovanni2121: alright.  It's probabyl right then.
[09:33] <opopanax> foug, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=312482&highlight=wow
[09:33] <upgrdman> i just installed mplayer via synaptic. but it doesnt have the win32 codecs to play wmv, etc. where is the package for that??
[09:33] <foug> opopanax: nice, thanks
[09:33] <ompaul> !w32codecs
[09:33] <ubotu> Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages, including the win32 codecs: see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - See also !Codecs
[09:33] <giovanni2121> so if the end of my menu.lst
[09:34] <giovanni2121> looks like this
[09:34] <ompaul> gkl
[09:34] <upgrdman> thx
[09:34] <ompaul> giovanni2121, don't paste that here thanks

[09:34] <foug> opopanax: how do i install hardware for my comp? is it like windows where i just download drivers? or different?
[09:34] <giovanni2121> sorry
[09:34] <Flannel> giovanni2121: put the windows thing AFTER that.  Stuff above that gets overwritten al the time
[09:34] <giovanni2121> do i add that xp pro code after that
[09:34] <giovanni2121> okay
[09:34] <giovanni2121> ill try it out
[09:34] <darx> alternatively tp://mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/all-20060611.tar.bz2
[09:34] <NBrepresent> Flannel: as part of the installation, i saw that it installed the GRUB bootloader, but i DID NOT set the boot flag for the ext3 partition. should i run gparted again and just make that change (set ext3 to boot?)
[09:34] <rickyfingers_> foug: different best way is to make sure hardware is compatible with linux using google
[09:34] <ompaul> giovanni2121, one like is okay -- but the lot of it is arrr kickable
[09:34] <foug> rickyfingers_: i see
[09:35] <NBrepresent> Flannel: i DO want to boot to ubuntu, just to clarify
[09:35] <opopanax> foug, actually most hardware is autodetected
[09:35] <foug> nice
[09:35] <Flannel> NBrepresent: you shouldn't need the bootflag, grub doesn't care
[09:35] <NBrepresent> awesome.
[09:35] <NBrepresent> thanks!
[09:35] <ra21vi> caffeinated: hey there, u can change something in xorg.conf
[09:35] <rickyfingers_> foug: generally the hardware has to be a little bit older to be supported. where you will run into learning experiences is mostly with wifi stuff these days.
[09:35] <giovanni2121> flannel: it says i don't have the permissions to save the file
[09:35] <Derek_Russo> I've been having some problems with video playback and with graphics in general.  Everything is really choppy - I've got an ATI video card.  Does anyone have any ideas to help?
[09:35] <giovanni2121> even though im logged in as the administrator
[09:35] <ra21vi> caffeinated: ready to experiment
[09:35] <kelsey435> can someone help me with my mounted disc's?   I ran the diskmounter script.  but i am still new to linux that i do not know where to look for them
[09:36] <foug> rickyfingers_: no wifi here, and my comp is 2 years old
[09:36] <caffeinated> ra21vi: What do I need to add?
[09:36] <pkundu> hi, I want to make my VLC player the default movie player. how can i do that ?
[09:36] <ra21vi> caffeinated: open xorg.conf
[09:36] <Flannel> giovanni2121: you need to use gksudo to open gedit... alt-f2 (brings up a run dialog) then `gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst` (minus quotes)
[09:36] <rickyfingers_> kelsey435: just type "mount" in a terminal, that will tell you what devices are mounted on what directories.
[09:36] <ra21vi> find Section "InputDevice"
[09:36] <kelsey435> kk
[09:36] <ra21vi> Identifier "Mouse0"
[09:36] <ra21vi> add Option "VertScrollDelta" "100"
[09:37] <ra21vi> change the value of your choice
[09:37] <rezzie> yuhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
[09:37] <bartmon> Flannel: Select the file you want to play with VLC, right click it, select properties and go to the W"Open with" tab.

[09:39] <Flannel> bartmon: it happens.  no worries.
[09:39] <giovanni2121> i know this is an ubuntu chat, but anyone here a pretty hardcore gamer who can give a hardware insight?
[09:39] <rezzie> :(( no one want to chatt with me..
[09:39] <cellojoe> rezzie: #ubuntuforums, tho, is a little less on topic... unless there is a problem to be solved
[09:41] <giovanni2121> flannel: if my beryl settings in ubuntu 7.04 beta just randomly stopped working is the only way to fix it reinstalling it?
[09:41] <pkundu> bartmon i tried but vlc is opening not the movie playing
[09:41] <pkundu> its a divx movie

[09:41] <caffeinated> It's slow no matter what value I plug in.
[09:41] <ra21vi> caffeinated: ok, then i m sorry dear, thats wat google dig.. there is no gnome native suppot for this
[09:42] <tues> hi all so i got a question why is visiting a certain webpage causing my entire computer to crash?

[09:44] <bilss_> talon223: only audio no vedio installed w32codecs
[09:45] <bilss_> darx: any ideas please
[09:45] <giovanni2122> oh also Flannel can you tell me if my computer specs will eb enough for 7.04 when its released in 2 weeks?
[09:45] <LoneShadow> how stable is feisty ?
[09:45] <Crazytom> LoneShadow, using it now, no problems at all
[09:45] <Flannel> giovanni2122: Theyd... be the same as Edgy/dapper/etc, I imagine.  And, yes.  Your computer is fine.
[09:45] <talon223> if your computer runs 6.10 decently it'll run 7.04
[09:46] <talon223> the upgrade to gnome2 is barely noticeable
[09:46] <LoneShadow> I am having problems with some encrypted dvds on my mythtv setup
[09:46] <darx> bilss_: try mplayer and the wincodecs from their site..extract the codecs to /usr/lib/win32/
[09:46] <LoneShadow> thinking of trying the feisty on another PC and see if it solves the problems :)
[09:46] <Voker57> hi, i get this error error while loading shared libraries: libguichan.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[09:46] <giovanni2122> i haven't even told you how do you know?
[09:47] <Voker57> this file exists in /var/local/lib/
[09:47] <Flannel> giovanni2122: because you, once upon a time, ran some OS on it.
[09:47] <giovanni2122> oh
[09:47] <giovanni2122> well then
[09:47] <giovanni2122> haha
[09:47] <bilss_> darx: ok i will but seems i have wincodecs already installed
[09:48] <giovanni2122> well that ubuntu-effects channel is dead, gues ill check the fiesty channel
[09:48] <Flannel> giovanni2122: unless said OS was windows 95, and you haven't upgraded from your 128MB RAM, you'll be fine.
[09:48] <Flannel> giovanni2122: and even then, it'll be usable.
[09:49] <darx> bilss_: try mplayer.. sudo aptitude install mplayer
[09:49] <bilss_> darx: i havevmware with windows on there I will just transfer the files across
[09:49] <Crazytom> TheInnerBeast, are you still there?
[09:49] <Sunshine> Excuse me good persons but I am having a problem, my Firefox unexpectedly stopped loading java-script. I am new to this world, might someone shed some light on this for me?
[09:49] <giovanni2122> 128mb of ram?
[09:49] <giovanni2122> im so confused
[09:49] <Flannel> giovanni2122: don't worry about it.  Yes, your computer will work fine with Feisty.
[09:49] <Crazytom> giovanni2122, how old is the computer?
[09:49] <ardchoille> Sunshine: Did you happen to install a firefox extension that blocks javascript?
[09:50] <cafuego_> If not, you should ;-)
[09:50] <ardchoille> Indeed
[09:50] <Sunshine> ardchoille, no I have not installed anything regarding firefox, it was a sudden change.
[09:51] <kruncher> how do i insert unicode characters using the numberpad?
[09:51] <darx> bilss_: you'll be better off following the wiki.. that is less error prone
[09:52] <TheInnerBeast> anyone wanna help a noob w/ his PCMCIA card PM me plz
[09:52] <Crazytom> TheInnerBeast, wireless?
[09:53] <TheInnerBeast> indeed
[09:53] <ardchoille> Sunshine: Open firefox and type  about:config  in the RUL box. Then, in the Filter box, type 'javascript' (without quotes) and see if javascript.enabled is set to true.
[09:53] <ardchoille> *URL
[09:53] <Crazytom> TheInnerBeast, please join #ubuntuwireless
[09:53] <TheInnerBeast> tnx
[09:53] <Sunshine> ardchoille, can do I will try it, thank you much!
[09:54] <ardchoille> Sunshine: If it's set to true, you'll need to investigate further.
[09:54] <bilss_> darx: why is w32codecs not working with vlc
[09:55] <crimsun> because vlc doesn't use w32codecs by default.
[09:55] <kruncher> in windows i can do alt-### to insert unicode text. how do i do that with ubuntu?
[09:55] <kelsey435> is there a way to make the desktop icons not this huge defualt setting
[09:56] <darx> bilss_: make sure your files are not drm protected
[09:56] <darx> that could be one reason
[09:56] <darx> the rest is mystery to me
[09:57] <bilss_> darx:drm?
[09:57] <darx> use mplayer..
[09:57] <jatt> kruncher: which unicode symbols do you want to insert?
[09:57] <jatt> kruncher: and where? in the console?
[09:57] <rickyfingers> bliss_: digital rights management.
[09:58] <opopanax> ho hum
[09:59] <Sunshine> ardchoille, yeah, javascript.enabled=true
[09:59] <kruncher> jatt: specifically in to the terminal and it needs to be low ascii values (like hex D - F)
[10:00] <a_l_e> hello, is there a way to/leave
[10:00] <a_l_e> ...no that was not the question :-)
[10:00] <darx> bilss_: crimsun said that vlc doesn't use w32codecs by default.. that could be the reason
[10:02] <bilss_> darx: ok thanks
[10:02] <ardchoille> Sunshine: Then you will have to investigate other reasons it is not working.
[10:02] <MarkFeathers> I'm trying to run just a frontend but it isnt working.  The frontend can't connect to the master server, but connects to the mysql server (same server) just fine.  Is there somewhere else that is specified?

[10:03] <mnk> hello all
[10:04] <MarkFeathers> ^^CatTuX^^: Yes, but you have to use the alternate install cd
[10:04] <Flannel> ^^CatTuX^^: packages.ubuntu.com  will let you check versions of stuff.
[10:07] <ompaul> ^^CatTuX^^, those are packages that dapper exceeds in version numbers but it should work no matter what you do - you will get good at fixing errors if you meet any doing that :)
[10:08] <mkquist> anyone know what it means on an install when it keeps saying 'time stamp is in the future'?

[10:10] <ekul`> yeh
[10:10] <MarkFeathers> ekul`: that was when i instantly dumped it.  They dont support nvidia drivers (force you to use vesa)
[10:10] <ekul`> Oh :S
[10:10] <ekul`> Maybe ill just try and get MythTV
[10:11] <ekul`> cause whatever drivers it forced me to use, are craaaap... scrolling takes 10 times longer and puts lines all over my screen
[10:12] <MarkFeathers> ekul`: vesa is a failsafe driver that has no accelleration
[10:12] <Derek_Russo> has anyone here had any experience getting ATI graphics cards to work?
[10:13] <MarkFeathers> Derek_Russo: Yea, whats up
[10:13] <Derek_Russo> Well, I go through the steps provided from !ati, but when I do fglrxinfo, I'm getting the display the guide says means the install didn't work
[10:13] <Ali_ix> Derek_Russo: yes, try fglrx drivers
[10:13] <Derek_Russo> I've tried all the trouble shooting steps, to the best of my knowledge
[10:14] <ekul`> tried envy Derek?
[10:14] <Derek_Russo> no, what's that?  This is really my first time using linux, so I'm pretty new to the whole thing
[10:14] <ekul`> !envy
[10:14] <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
[10:14] <ekul`> im a total newb
[10:14] <ekul`> worked treats for my Nvidia drivers, works for ATI too afaik
[10:14] <maxx18> my gcc which came default on edgy is not working... it can't find stdio.h... can anybody help me fix this?
[10:14] <Ali_ix> ekul`: he may not reconfigured xorg to use fglrx drivers
[10:15] <ekul`> doesn't it reconfigure xorg?
[10:15] <Derek_Russo> I did sudo aticonfig --inital
[10:15] <Derek_Russo> and aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv
[10:15] <Ali_ix> Derek_Russo: check the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
[10:15] <Derek_Russo> What am I looking for Ali_ix?
[10:15] <Ali_ix> Derek_Russo: in device section check id driver is set to fglrx not mesa/vesa
[10:16] <NickGarvey> is there a hosts file per user? ~/.hosts or something along those lines (I know that doesn't exist)
[10:16] <Ali_ix> Derek_Russo: what is you vga model?
[10:17] <Derek_Russo> it is set to vesa
[10:17] <jatt> maxx18: do you have the libc6-dev package installed?
[10:17] <ardchoille> maxx18: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[10:17] <Derek_Russo> can I just manually edit the text to fglrx?
[10:18] <maxx18> jatt, nope installing it now
[10:18] <Derek_Russo> I'm not sure how to check what my vga model is
[10:18] <Ali_ix> Derek_Russo: first take a backup of your current config file, then change the text to fglrx
[10:18] <maxx18> ardchoille, installing build-essential also
[10:18] <Ali_ix> Derek_Russo: do a lspci
[10:18] <Derek_Russo> how do I take a backup, just copy the file to a different name?
[10:18] <ardchoille> maxx18: I believe build essential will pull in libc6-dev
[10:18] <Derek_Russo> I'm very new to linux, heh
[10:19] <Ali_ix> Derek_Russo: cp xorg.conf xorg.cong-backup
[10:19] <Ali_ix> Derek_Russo: you will like it ;)
[10:19] <Derek_Russo> yeah, ok
[10:19] <Derek_Russo> just wanted to make sure
[10:19] <maxx18> ardchoille, jatt thanks guys it works now :)
[10:19] <Derek_Russo> I know basic commands, etc, but a lot of the more advanced stuff is well beyond my grasp at this point
[10:19] <Derek_Russo> I already do like it, but getting this video driver to work has been a pain
[10:19] <Ali_ix> Derek_Russo: please paste the lspci out put on a paste bin
[10:20] <ardchoille> maxx18: You're welcome :)
[10:20] <Ali_ix> !pastebin | Derek_Russo

[10:20] <Derek_Russo> let me change that text/ make the backup first
[10:20] <Ali_ix> denys: no, just search xubuntu in synaptic and install xfce packages
[10:20] <ardchoille> denys: You can just: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[10:20] <Ali_ix> denys: no need to reinstall,
[10:21] <denys> oh ok
[10:22] <Derek_Russo> ok, so I've changed the text and copied my lspci printout over to pastebin, want the link?
[10:22] <denys> do i need to have a ubuntu or xubuntu cd before executing the command?

[10:43] <Derek_Russo> Ali_ix: what should I check after reloading xserver to see if what I changed made any difference?
[10:43] <Ali_ix> Derek_Russo: you can start x using gdm: /etc/init.d/gdm start
[10:44] <Ali_ix> Derek_Russo: after reload if you have graphic on screen! you are half done :D
[10:44] <[Yoni] > I'v bought a new laptop -> MSI: Intel Core 2 Duo 1.83 ghz, 2Gb of ram, 945M intel chipset..

[11:06] <joe4444> Blissex, restart the window manager?
[11:06] <joe4444> or just FF?
[11:07] <joe4444> they're Windows fonts (from EasyUbuntu)
[11:07] <Blissex> Jonah: thats a FreeBSD package.
[11:07] <Blissex> joe4444: restart all apps that might want to use those fonts.
[11:08] <joe4444> k

[11:08] <yahya> Ali_ix: I still get the same thing
[11:09] <Ali_ix> yahya: or check out synaptic (if it is desktop system) for broken filter and kmark for removal or reinstall
[11:09] <Derek_Russo> ok, I"ve replaced it
[11:09] <armin> hi
[11:09] <MarkFeathers> Jonah: I just looked around for it and it would seem to be maintained by debian.  I can't seem to find a homepage for it though
[11:09] <Derek_Russo> now do I need to reload the x server again?
[11:09] <yahya> Ali_ix: this is a server without a monitor

[11:09] <Jonah> it seems odd there is no project page for gnome remote desktop
[11:09] <armin> how can i disable the auto monitor off on ubuntu 6.10?
[11:10] <Ali_ix> yahya: check apt-get help or manual for force remova instructions
[11:10] <Ali_ix> yahya: you need to remove those package and reinstall
[11:10] <Ali_ix> yahya: try dpkg if apt-get fails to remove

[11:11] <Ali_ix> letronje: check man ifconfig
[11:11] <armin> how can i disable the auto monitor off on ubuntu 6.10?
[11:11] <letronje> any curses based thing like neat that comes with fedora?
[11:11] <Ali_ix> yahya: yes ;) search ubuntu/debian community for "broken package"

[11:12] <yahya> Ali_ix: by community you mean the forums?
[11:12] <Ali_ix> armin: check power management
[11:12] <ajmorris_> anyone got kxdocker working on gnome in feisty?
[11:12] <Ali_ix> yahya: yes, forums, mailing lists and blogs
[11:12] <Ali_ix> nightz: try clam av
[11:12] <aalhamad> I've just started using latex .. and i can't remmber all its functions.. its there an editor for latex.. or you recommend me to use a normal text editor like vim and try learn? thanks..
[11:12] <nightz> Ali_ix, uhh link?
[11:13] <justthisguy> aalhamad: lyx is a nice editor which uses latex well
[11:13] <Ali_ix> nightz: search it in synaptic... ;)
[11:13] <nightz> ok :>
[11:13] <armin> at the power management "put display to sleep whne computer is inactive for" (never) is selected
[11:13] <aalhamad> justthisguy, thanks.. i
[11:13] <jatt> aalhamad: emacs + auctex
[11:13] <yahya> aalhamad: vim.org probably has latex specific scripts and plugins
[11:14] <Ali_ix> armin: and still will turn off monitor? no idea
[11:14] <Derek_Russo> Ali_ix: that new version of xorg gave me a black screen
[11:14] <Ali_ix> Derek_Russo: what is up?
[11:14] <justthisguy> armin: it might be the monitor itself - I know mine does that
[11:14] <aalhamad> how about texmaker?
[11:14] <Derek_Russo> Ali_ix: I had to boot into recovery and restore the backup copy I made
[11:14] <Ali_ix> Derek_Russo: lol! you are getting in way :D better than graphic with wrong drivers
[11:15] <justthisguy> aalhamad: try them both and see which you like best :)
[11:15] <Ali_ix> Derek_Russo: no, you can just open a terminal with ctrl+alt+f1
[11:15] <jatt> aalhamad: I don't know. I use auctex and it suits my needs.
[11:15] <Derek_Russo> Ali_ix: ahh, good to know

[11:16] <valehru> Gah, eclipse is as slow as heck........any help would be nice.
[11:16] <Derek_Russo> Ali_ix: can you think of anything else to do at this point?  Everything is fine except I can't watch videos, which I would like to do - and I'd like to play some games at some point
[11:16] <Ali_ix> Derek_Russo: i have no idea about this, depend on many parameters to fail, i advice to try the wiki guide step by step again !
[11:16] <Derek_Russo> Ali_ix: I've tried it several times and even reinstalled Ubuntu
[11:17] <Ali_ix> Derek_Russo: if you get fglrx working you can go 3d, not only simple video playback
[11:17] <Derek_Russo> Ali_ix: curiously, reinstalling ubuntu fixed several other problems (my sound wasn't working before), but not this one
[11:17] <liquiddoom> I'm trying to set up spamassassin with an ubuntu server here. It seems that I can either have it work with procmail or postfix. Which should I go for? webmin seems to hint towards procmail

[11:28] <icedwater> was it a hassle to install, Ali_ix?
[11:29] <berkes> is there central changelog or log that tells me why packages are to be upgraded and what has changed?
[11:29] <pfchen> when i use hping ,it show :"[open_sockraw]  socket(): Operation not permitted  [main]  can't open raw socket"
[11:29] <Ali_ix> icedwater: not at all
[11:30] <jatt> berkes: yes, synaptics is able to read the changelog for a given package
[11:30] <jatt> berkes: without installing it first
[11:30] <jatt> (aptitude has similar functionality too)
[11:30] <berkes> jatt: thx. problem is, I am on kubuntu, which does not have synaptics, but i'll be able to find something.
[11:31] <berkes> I guess there is nothing online that has such changelogs, right?

[12:39] <rambo3> !tunneling
[12:39] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tunneling - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:39] <Tmob> rambo3, actualy i have openvpn setup as per: http://www.thebakershome.net/?q=node/56
[12:39] <Tmob> rambo3, but i have no idea how ot make users share my internet
[12:39] <purez> and then?
[12:39] <ardchoille> purez: Did it install ubuntu-desktop?
[12:39] <Tmob> i did the bridge like the tutorial says, but it removes the dhcp ip which i get, so i can't get a real vpn set
[12:40] <purez> i think so
[12:40] <purez> yea
[12:40] <ardchoille> purez: CTRL+ALT+F7 and try to log in
[12:40] <rambo3> Tmob, debian-adminstators ahs a bounc of howtos
[12:40] <purez> ok
[12:40] <Tmob> rambo3, where is that?
[12:41] <Tmob> ah i c..
[12:41] <ajmorris_> please ? :)
[12:41] <Tmob> rambo3, but what example is bridging?
[12:41] <Tmob> rambo3, i am not sure if i have to bridge or not..
[12:41] <purez> omg :o
[12:42] <purez> I see the icons

[12:42] <rambo3> http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/35
[12:43] <ardchoille> purez: Now I am wondering how you got a mouse cursor when ubuntu-desktop wasn't installed.
[12:43] <purez> :/
[12:43] <purez> i dont know
[12:44] <ardchoille> purez: Are you new to Linux?
[12:44] <joeamined> ajmorris : you have a repository defined ?
[12:44] <rambo3> ardchoille, ubuntu-desktop is meta package . so maby metacity or something was missing
[12:44] <purez> Yes..
[12:44] <purez> Completely new :<
[12:45] <ardchoille> rambo3: Sounded like his gnome-panel and nautilus weren't starting up cuz he had no icons and no ALT+F2
[12:45] <purez> And kinda lost, too
[12:45] <purez> i still have no alt+f2
[12:45] <ardchoille> purez: Wow, a new Linux person already interested in aircrack, eh? Cool.
[12:45] <purez> ;)
[12:45] <purez> =P
[12:45] <doseryder> quick beryl question: Can you lock desired view position after you do: ctrl + alt + press and drag left mouse button (3d perspectives on cube desktop)?
[12:46] <Tmob> rambo3, my setup is a big weird actually... i want to access full internet from my work.. because i have an app which i want to use there
[12:46] <codeCowboy> hi, is it normal for gij-4.1 to be using 40% of CPU ? Ubuntu 6.10 server
[12:46] <Tmob> rambo3, and work is only allows http proxy
[12:47] <Tmob> rambo3, so i thought i would run a vpn server on my home server.. put it on 8080 and use http tunnel thru CONNECT http proxy to join the vpn
[12:47] <Tmob> rambo3, I'm confused if i need bridging for this or not.. :(
[12:47] <MarcoPau> hey, my usb mouse freezes at times, and I don't seem to have this problem under windoze. can anybody give me a hint?
[12:48] <MarcoPau> the only thing I can do, for now, is disconnect and reconnect the usb plug
[12:48] <Tmob> MarcoPau, you see anything in /var/log/messages?
[12:48] <Tmob> and do you use a USB hub, etc. you can try connecting the mouse to another usb port
[12:49] <MarcoPau> Tmob: I will check it as soon as it happens another time. I tried basically all ports, same thing.
[12:49] <theGZ1> hi guys.
[12:49] <rambo3> Tmob, i have no idea , Mkey . Open vpn means making an extra device that is bridged , a /dev/tap device that needs to be bridged . try asking in #debian .
[12:49] <doseryder> quick beryl question: Can you lock desired view position after you do: ctrl + alt + press and drag left mouse button (3d perspectives on cube desktop)?
[12:49] <MarcoPau> Tmob: my family has been using windoze on this machine for a month and they said it never happened
[12:49] <theGZ1> whoa
[12:50] <zandaa> hey guys, I was wondering if you could help with a slight GRUB snag
[12:50] <Tmob> MarcoPau, its quite possible its linux realted bug
[12:50] <zandaa> I am wanting to add a CD-boot option to GRUB (seeing as I like to boot from a CD every now and then) but I dont exactly know how to go about it
[12:50] <purez> anything else i have to install? :/
[12:50] <Tmob> MarcoPau, usb is still not very complete
[12:50] <theGZ1> Why don't I have permission to do things? Like save files for example? I just recently installed Ubuntu and setup a new account. I also tried logging in as root with a "sudo -i" but I still don't have permissions to save a text file.. WTF?
[12:50] <MarcoPau> Tmob: heh, but we're talking about a mouse...
[12:51] <freanki> hi, the restricted drivers manager always wants to install the nvidia legacy driver although I got a GeForce4 which is only supported by the non-legacy driver... a manual install didn't succed.
[12:51] <codeCowboy> anyone ^^?
[12:51] <rambo3> !anyone
[12:51] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[12:51] <rdz> hello everyone. which command is executed, when i press 'alt' + PrtScr?
[12:52] <yellow_chicken> i am uploading an attachment (email), how to check if packs are indeed in progress? it's a 3mb file. but it doesn not  look like it's uploading
[12:52] <rambo3> isnt that capture window
[12:52] <rambo3> rdz ?
[12:52] <ATi7500> i have a strange behaviour when running sudo aptitude update
[12:52] <gizmo_the_great1> Looking for a good system benchmark tool that will measure the CPU capabilities and HDD read\write speeds and return the results of the calculations (which 'stress', for example, does not) so I can compare them against my other machine. Any ideas?
[12:52] <MarcoPau> how do I purge the config files of some programs that are not installed?
[12:52] <MarcoPau> they show up as "rc" doing dpkg -l
[12:52] <rdz> rambo3, yes, it is the screenshot-command, but i don't know what the exact name of the command is. i'd like to use it in a scripts
[12:52] <ATi7500> almost all repositories show "hit" in front of the process
[12:53] <codeCowboy> my cpu is consistently at 40%. a look in the system monitor shows the process taking up the CPU is gij-4.1. what is this process and why is it slowing my machine down?
[12:53] <ATi7500> hit or ign
[12:53] <Tmob> rdz, you can use 'convert'
[12:53] <KI4CGP> gizmo_the_great1, not sure about cpu loading, but hdparm can run some tests to show read/write cache speeds of your drives
[12:53] <Tmob> rdz, its an imagemagick client
[12:53] <censored> gah... have tried fiddling with xorg.conf but still can't get nvidia to display more than 640x 480
[12:54] <rambo3> rdz, i dont know .screendump with some paramter ?
[12:54] <rdz> Tmob, i can capture a window as a picture with convert? how to do that?
[12:54] <gizmo_the_great1> KI4CGP: yeah, I know about that one, thanks. was hoping for a combination of both and then ideally a 'rating' value for overall performance
[12:54] <painkiler> hey guys
[12:54] <Tmob> rdz, i dont think it does just a window.. it takes the entire screen shot
[12:54] <Tmob> rdz, i remember seeing something like that in its args .. but i'm not sure
[12:54] <KI4CGP> gizmo_the_great1, ahh, that I don't know about as a complete solution, or even a partial one :/
[12:55] <Tmob> rdz, infact.. they named it 'import'
[12:55] <Tmob> rdz, not convert.. they are all part of ImageMagick.. man on it
[12:55] <rdz> Tmob, yeah, but alt+prtscr snapshots only the acual window. it is on my system and it works, i ust want to know the command name
[12:55] <codeCowboy> rambo3,  you seem to have told the bot to tell me to ask my question. i did. do you know what might be causing my problem?
[12:55] <Tmob> rdz, i thought alt_prtscr is a shortcut key for gnome-screenshot
[12:55] <painkiler> I have a nvidia mx 4000, and I have reinstalled my ubuntu install... But when I install the the Nvidia drivers, my x server crashes
[12:56] <rdz> Tmob, ah ok.. thank you
[12:56] <theGZ1> how come my nvidia settings dont SAVE? im enabling my 2nd monitor in nvidia settings, i then click APPLY and save it to /etc/xorg.conf, and then when i restart X server it goes back to 1 monitor.. maybe this is because i dont have permission to save to xorg.conf? how can i save then??
[12:56] <Tmob> rdz, in future. ps ux
[12:56] <painkiler> theGZ1: are you running sudo commands?
[12:56] <theGZ1> no
[12:56] <painkiler> there is your problem
[12:57] <theGZ1> painkiler: how do i run nvidia with sudo?
[12:57] <rdz> Tmob, what do you mean by that?
[12:57] <rambo3> codeCowboy, yes ask the channel no me , ill have to scrolll up and read
[12:57] <theGZ1> painkiler: its nvidia settings
[12:57] <theGZ1> sudo nvidia-settings ?
[12:57] <painkiler> theGZ1: basically, what you need to do is sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:57] <painkiler> and when you save, save
[12:58] <codeCowboy> rambo3, my cpu is consistently at 40%. a look in the system monitor shows the process taking up the CPU is gij-4.1. what is this process and why is it slowing my machine down?
[12:58] <Tmob> rdz, `ps ux`
[12:58] <Tmob> run it in a shell
[12:58] <rambo3> codeCowboy, kill it ?
[12:58] <codeCowboy> rambo3, i am pretty sure its something to do with java
[12:58] <rambo3> !info gij-4.1
[12:58] <ubotu> gij-4.1: The GNU Java bytecode interpreter. In component main, is optional. Version 4.1.1-14ubuntu7 (edgy), package size 29 kB, installed size 112 kB

[12:59] <Tmob> heh cool
[12:59] <rdz> Tmob, i still cannot follow. it does print all running commands... what are you trying to tell me?
[12:59] <rambo3> codeCowboy, do you use azerus  for torrents or something like that
[12:59] <painkiler> this is really strange, it works on the nv driver, but only at 640X480. But when I use the nvidia drivers, it crashes
[12:59] <Tmob> rdz, blah.. you can find which program is running when you press alt prt
[01:00] <Tmob> by looking at the list and just reading thru the args.. do i have to explain more?
[01:00] <codeCowboy> rambo3,  dont i need it to run java apps though? i use  zend studio which is java. i am not running azureus at the moment as it was causing 100% cpu and generally not working properly
[01:00] <rdz> Tmob, ah , ok.. i understand now.... thank you... yes, i'll try that in the future
[01:00] <codeCowboy> rambo3, i would like to try running sun JRE instead of gij
[01:01] <rambo3> codeCowboy, ok you need to configure alternatives then
[01:01] <rambo3> !java | codeCowboy
[01:01] <ubotu> codeCowboy: 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
[01:02] <Niek> A quick question: I did (Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn) this: "sudo apt-get install beryl". After that, I rebooted my Linux PC, configured Beryl (Applications -> System Tools -> Beryl Settings Manager). I didn't change anything, it was all good. But, I rebooted my Linux PC again, But.. No beryl! How do I "switch it on"?
[01:03] <codeCowboy> rambo3, ok thanks - do you know if it is possible to replace gij with the sun version and run apps using that? how much 'hassle' am i in for? to me, hassle is running hundreds of console commands to get it to work
[01:03] <bright_fame> Niek: is the beryl 'diamond' symbol in the status bar or not?
[01:04] <Niek> No
[01:04] <rambo3> codeCowboy, yes . just scroll down on that how to
[01:04] <ATi7500> how do i restore the original sources.list file?
[01:04] <codeCowboy> rambo - ok, will give that a go. thanks for your help!
[01:04] <Niek> bright_fame: No diamond in my status bar :(
[01:04] <rambo3> no
[01:05] <bright_fame> Niek: :( sorry thought i just might have been running but set to use metacity instead
[01:05] <rambo3> codeCowboy, np
[01:05] <bright_fame> ATi7500: what does 'locate sources.list' output?
[01:05] <bright_fame> ATi7500: may give you the names of some backed up version of that file
[01:06] <tbuss> how do I share a folder located on external hdd. I have mounted the hdd and installe ntfs-3g; can read and write to hdd but cannot access shares?
[01:07] <bright_fame> Niek: did you work through the beryl wiki pages? (that's the only way i know how to set up beryl)

[01:27] <Desmaano> can someone help me on setting up an raid1 array with ubuntu ???
[01:27] <tmroland_> Seveas: pastebin.com is broken : Query failure: Can't open file: 'pastebin.MYI'. (errno: 145)
[01:28] <Seveas> tmroland_, try paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[01:28] <Seveas> tmroland_, pastebin.com breaks all the time :)
[01:28] <tmroland_> i hate it
[01:28] <gallo> I LOVE IT
[01:28] <Seveas> that's why we have paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[01:28] <Seveas> it even has an easter chicken theme :p
[01:28] <gallo> what do hate?
[01:29] <digit0> Steil, thanks a lot Steil I had look in /etc/group but I have lost that
[01:29] <tmroland_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14365/  <-- output of fdisk -l
[01:29] <bright_fame> ATi7500: yep, worth a try, but retain a backup of old file just incase
[01:29] <Seveas> tmroland_, as I expected... it's hdb1, not hdb
[01:29] <ATi7500> ok :) trying out
[01:29] <Seveas> so mount /dev/hdb1 etc... should work
[01:29] <Dame> Rhythmbox does not load all my music. It stops adding new songs when are around 100 songs added. I cant figure out whats the problem, every other player loads everything.
[01:30] <Desmaano> some one can help me setup a raid1 array ????
[01:30] <Seveas> !raid
[01:30] <ubotu> Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[01:30] <tmroland_> Seveas: it only works in theory, in practice its a joke
[01:30] <Desmaano> i mean a software array
[01:30] <Seveas> Desmaano, look at the urls ubotu gave
[01:30] <Desmaano> ok i give it a shot
[01:31] <tmroland_> root@ubuntu:~# mount /dev/hdb /mnt/hdb
[01:31] <tmroland_> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[01:31] <tmroland_> it doesnt know its a fat32 there
[01:31] <tmroland_> this looks like a ugly bug
[01:32] <Seveas> tmroland_, it's /dev/hdb1
[01:32] <Seveas> not /dev/hdb
[01:32] <lordofheat> hello
[01:32] <lordofheat> are there any repositories with xchat for kde
[01:32] <lordofheat> not gnome
[01:32] <tmroland_> hmm.. i didnt slept too good for some weeks.. must have begun to forgot basic things..
[01:32] <tmroland_> damn me
[01:32] <tbuss> Seveas: looks like you are right; appears to be a permissions issue. Do I need to assign all users on the network to a group and configure permissions for the external hdd?
[01:32] <Seveas> lordofheat, xchat is a gtk app, but it works if you run kde
[01:33] <Seveas> tbuss, either that or allow everyone to read/write the disk
[01:33] <ATi7500> bright_fame: nothing...i was wondering..if i update to feisty?
[01:33] <Seveas> lordofheat, konversation is an IRC client for KDE
[01:33] <volton> for IRC in KDE, i'd recommend konverstion
[01:34] <volton> ;-)
[01:34] <bright_fame> ATi7500: if you are less confident solving problems with ubuntu by yourself, better to wait until feisty is out of beta i would think
[01:34] <tbuss> Seveas: I have to ask, I though I already did that for the external hdd, or was that just for the user of the pc the external hdd is connected to.
[01:34] <tonio_> hi
[01:34] <ATi7500> bright_fame: ok, thank you
[01:34] <lordofheat> Seveas: k, thnx
[01:35] <Seveas> tbuss, put the output of mount on the pastebin and I can tell you :)
[01:35] <simonkern> Hi, i have problems with my encrypted ubuntu 6.10
[01:35] <simonkern> if I want to set up an other kernel, the pc don't boot
[01:35] <NBrepresen1> hi! can anyone tell me how to remove certain partitions from my 'places' menu?
[01:36] <simonkern> i use cryptsetup
[01:36] <tbuss> Seveas: here you go, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14366/
[01:37] <simonkern> i think the cryptsetup related things weren't included in the initrd and vmlinuz packages
[01:37] <Seveas> tbuss, hmmm fun, ntfs-3g is quite different from ntfs.... wrt mount options
[01:37] <simonkern> can somebody help me
[01:38] <deepsa> simonkern, explain problem
[01:38] <tbuss> Seveas: ? wrt mount options
[01:38] <simonkern> i wanted to change the kernel under ubuntu 6.10 with enabled cryptsetup, but if i want to boot the new kernel, nothing happens
[01:38] <bright_fame> NBrepresen1: you want to retain the partitions but just not show them in the menu?
[01:39] <qos> i ve got a strange problem here. i am creating a pptp tunnel to my university and want to redirect all traffic through this tunnel. this works, but just with console applications. but some gui apps (like browsers) won't work ... they are trying to connect all to time... but fail after the default timeout.
[01:39] <ngrawlings> hey one quick question, I see nvu is removing all my existing php code, how do I configure it not to do that
[01:39] <Seveas> tbuss, you've reached the end of my ntfs-3g knowledge here sounless anyone else can help, I'm afraid I have to say 'RTFM'
[01:39] <simonkern> i thing the cryptsetup packages aren't enabled in the initrd and the vmlinuz
[01:39] <bef> &greets, strange question: how can I take a screenshot of the login window?
[01:40] <Seveas> bef, log in, run gdmflexiserver --xnest and take a screenshot :)
[01:40] <tbuss> Seveas: okay, thanks for you help, but you would guess it has something to do with permissions, correct?
[01:40] <Seveas> tbuss, ntfs doesn't know permissions so fake permissions are set with mount options
[01:40] <bef> Seveas: so I terminal "run gdmflexiserver --xnest"?
[01:41] <Seveas> tbuss, so to allow everyone to write, you'd need to change something in there
[01:41] <Seveas> bef, without the word run
[01:41] <simonkern> yesterday i reinstalled kernel headers and the kernel image of the working kernel and the new generated bootfiles aren't working; too
[01:41] <tbuss> Seveas: okay, I'll keep working with it, thanks again for you help
[01:42] <bef> Seveas: "The nested X server (Xnest) is not avaliable, or GDM is badly configured. Please install the Xnest package in order to use the nested login." Hm :(
[01:42] <Dame> rhythmbox is adding new mp3s so slow. It need around 5 minutes for 50 songs. Anybody familiar with this?
[01:43] <Seveas> bef, apt-get install xnest
[01:43] <bef> Seveas: ofc, but there is nothing which can do this without adding packages? hehe
[01:43] <Seveas> bef, not that I know of
[01:44] <simonkern> can anybody help me?
[01:44] <bef> Seveas: thanks for your help, this Xnest is a very small package and I have now installed. Now to try.
[01:44] <bright_fame> when i click on my home folder icon on the panel it often opens four nautilus windows instead of one? is there someway i can fix this
[01:44] <bright_fame> (happens to both my machines, so cannot be a fault with the mouse)
[01:46] <bef> Seveas: thanks, this works nicely. What exactly _is_ Xnest? It allows me to log into more than one user at once?
[01:46] <Seveas> bef, a nested X server
[01:46] <bef> Seveas: lol, hence the name I suppose ;)
[01:46] <Seveas> :)
[01:47] <insane_alien> hey, i need some help restoring a disk from an image i made of it yesterday
[01:47] <Mikkel^> Hello
[01:47] <deepsa> Mikkel^, halo
[01:47] <Mikkel^> i need help.. what is boot.ini to ubuntu?
[01:47] <Ash-Fox> I need to install a server right now (can't wait for feisty), what ubuntu-server should I use, 6.10 or 6.06 ?
[01:48] <Mikkel^> i am new to ubuntu..
[01:48] <Seveas> Mikkel^, I think you're looking for /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:48] <deepsa> Ash-Fox, of course 6.10
[01:48] <Seveas> Ash-Fox, 6.06
[01:48] <Mikkel^> Seveas..
[01:48] <deepsa> Seveas, wtf
[01:48] <insane_alien> i used dd to copy it over and it wouldn't boot. apparently the filesytem is bigger than the disk or something
[01:48] <Ash-Fox> Well, 6.06 is supported longer.
[01:48] <Seveas> Ash-Fox, 6.06 will be supported for 4 more years, 6.10 for one
[01:48] <Mikkel^> My problem are.. where all Files copy from ubuntu-7.04-beta-dvd-i386.iso
[01:48] <insane_alien> gparted shows it as still being unallocated space
[01:48] <Seveas> so unless you want to upgrade in a year, use 6.06
[01:49] <Mikkel^> My problem are.. where all Files copy from ubuntu-7.04-beta-dvd-i386.iso <- Copy to C:\ or C:\Ubuntu?
[01:49] <Seveas> Mikkel^, you're not making any sense...

[01:50] <Mikkel^> :)
[01:50] <deepsa> ATi7500, yeah
[01:50] <ATi7500> what does it mean hit and ign?
[01:50] <Ash-Fox> ATi7500, yes.
[01:51] <Seveas> ATi7500, hit means it was found,ign means it was not found
[01:51] <ATi7500> so how can i make those to be found?
[01:51] <Seveas> you don't
[01:51] <rrohde> question: got I Fritz wireless USB stick for my DSL. I got it to work with ndiswrapper... The question now is, if there's a more elegant way - like something Ubuntu native w/o ndiswrappers?
[01:51] <Seveas> they're not needed ;)
[01:51] <ATi7500> ah, ok
[01:51] <doodoo> sa a coup
[01:51] <ATi7500> :)
[01:51] <Seveas> rrohde, what kind of chipset is in there?

[01:52] <rrohde> Seveas, good question!
[01:52] <Seveas> rrohde, lsusb :)
[01:53] <Desmaano> seriously guys, why doesnt ubuntu see my harddrives and its size? in bios it is correctly
[01:53] <rrohde> Seveas,

[01:53] <Seveas> that's all?
[01:53] <rrohde> pertaining to Fritz - yeah
[01:53] <Seveas> stick to ndiswrapper :)
[01:53] <insane_alien> desmaano, ubuntu uses GiB instead of the usual GB GiB is its binary size
[01:53] <Mikkel^> Seveas - cant i not installer it not. burn it to CD..
[01:54] <Mikkel^> Seveas - can i installer it.. will not burn it to CD
[01:54] <ATi7500> Seveas: is this good too, right? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14372/
[01:54] <Desmaano> insane_alien: how comes ubuntu doenst see my two other hdd's? only the primary master hdd?
[01:54] <Seveas> Mikkel^, you can only install from a burned DVD (you downloaded the DVD)
[01:54] <rrohde> Seveas, ok. Was just curious because apt-get recommned some Fritz firmware, but that got me confused as that most likely pertains to their IDSN stuff
[01:55] <Seveas> ATi7500, the syntax is correct. Don't know if the last 2 repositories are ok though

[01:56] <rrohde> Just discovered how easy it is now with Ubunut to get NTFS write enabled.. hehe.. great!
[01:56] <Desmaano> my computer, the ubuntu 'explorer'
[01:57] <reep> Ubuntu don't show up each partition as windows do, you have to specify where they should be mounted yourself
[01:57] <timonator> hello, everybody. i'm on the brand new 7.04 beta and easyubuntu fails to run because it lacks a packagelist for feisty. can someone point me to its location?

[01:58] <reep> desmanoo: running "sudo fdisk -l" in a terminal should list your other drives too
[01:58] <PriceChild> timonator, feisty is not finished and isn't for beginners. Support in #ubuntu~1 only
[01:58] <bizaru> Why is my beryl not working with the cube anymore?
[01:58] <PriceChild> #ubuntu+1 only sorry
[01:58] <timonator> i see
[01:58] <timonator> bye :)
[01:58] <bizaru> I used to be able to press the mouse wheel - and that would enable to cube
[01:58] <bizaru> Now that doesn't work
[01:59] <Tmob> is beryl any faster than edgy now?
[01:59] <Desmaano> it only lists the 3 partitions (on hdd1) made by ubuntu i think
[01:59] <Tmob> it took forever a more milliseconds than i wanted it to when switch virtual desktops.. xfce's switcing is blazingly fast.. like instant
[02:00] <ATi7500> Seveas: where can i find the gpg key for opera repository?
[02:00] <Desmaano> reep: im sorry, it sees the other two hdd's
[02:00] <Seveas> ATi7500, on source-o-matic ;)
[02:00] <the_eye> any idea what is wrong when wpa_supplicant tells me "Association request to the driver failed". this is with an ndiswrapper-driven usb stick type device ..
[02:00] <reep> Desmaano: ok, have you made any partitions on them?
[02:01] <Desmaano> none, there fresh new hdd's
[02:01] <ATi7500> Seveas: the sources.list generated files doesn't include a key for opera
[02:01] <Seveas> hmm
[02:01] <ATi7500> # Upstream Opera
[02:01] <ATi7500> deb http://deb.opera.com/opera etch non-free
[02:01] <ATi7500> just this
[02:01] <reep> Desmaano: Then I suggest you install the package "gparted" and use System -> Administration -> Gnome Partition Editor to create some partitions on them
[02:02] <rrohde> OK.. got a weird issue here: I got a CentOS server that exports 2 dirs via NFS. One is called Storage, the other one Storage1. Both are mounted during boot-up for my Feisty. Problem is, that each time I open nautilus to access Storage1, nautilus crashes without error. Storage, on the other hand, works like a charm. Any hints as to where to start looking?
[02:02] <Desmaano> ok, what for partitions you should advise? 1 partition at maximum size ?
[02:03] <Seveas> ATi7500, fixed :) It includes a key now
[02:03] <Desmaano> reep: my ubuntu version isnt english, i cant find my gnome partition editor :(
[02:03] <ATi7500> glad to help :)
[02:03] <Deybiyan> Desmaano:  type in terminal: gparted
[02:04] <Deybiyan> Desmaano:  type in terminal: sudo gparted
[02:04] <Desmaano> respond: sudo: gparted: command not found
[02:04] <reep> Desmaano: you need to install the gparted package
[02:05] <reep> Desmaano: either through synaptic or typing in a terminal: sudo aptitude install gparted
[02:05] <Desmaano> installing
[02:05] <reep> Desmaano: and how to partition them depends on how you intend to use them

[02:16] <__Ace__> come on, there gotta be a way to disable the trash in ubuntu?
[02:17] <frandavid100> hiya!
[02:17] <mkquist> anyone know, if i installed xubuntu (this channel is more active) can i install fluxbox and remove xubuntu desktop? or would that cause problems?

[02:18] <Seveas> mkquist, sure you can :)
[02:18] <LordTureis> k
[02:18] <ardchoille> Enoxs: You want to run a screensaver as the desktop wallpaper?
[02:18] <doseryder> which new addition is virtualizing the other cpu?   is it wine?
[02:18] <__Ace__> Edit -> Preferences in natilus
[02:18] <bimberi> mkquist: that would be file.  note that there is a fluxbuntu too :)
[02:18] <bronze_1_9> Enoxs: you would have to write a special X application that opens a window the size of the display and runs the sacreesaver in that window - under all the otehr windows.  iirc - thats is, in part how wallpaper is done, 'cept thats static of course.
[02:18] <bimberi> *fine

[02:20] <Ali_ix> !feisty
[02:20] <bronze_1_9> feisty is too feisty to be released. It will have to escape
[02:20] <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)
[02:20] <joejaxx> Enoxs: /win 279
[02:20] <Desmaano> allmost :)
[02:20] <joejaxx> bah
[02:20] <ardchoille> bronze_1_9 , Enoxs Running a screensaver as a desktop wallpaper is easy to do with what you already have.
[02:20] <joejaxx> Enoxs: you can run xscreensavers with the -root command
[02:20] <bronze_1_9> ardchoille: speak on oh sayer! :)
[02:20] <joejaxx> Enoxs: but that is only if you do not have something blocking it
[02:20] <joejaxx> Enoxs: like the the case of nautilus
[02:20] <bimberi> bronze_1_9: well said (on feisty)!
[02:20] <bronze_1_9> :)
[02:21] <ardchoille> bronze_1_9 , Enoxs I can walk ya through it if you want. I do it all the time.
[02:21] <Enoxs> joejaxx : Yeah i've red this somewhere on a gentoo wiki page
[02:21] <IdleOne> ardchoille, write a wiki page 
[02:21] <DamienCassou> hi
[02:21] <ardchoille> IdleOne: Great idea
[02:21] <Desmaano> :)
[02:21] <bronze_1_9> bimberi: based on a very old joke about how When Klingon's make software it doesn't get released, It fights its way out of the QA LAB on its own...
[02:22] <Desmaano> ardchoille, seriously wouldnt be bad
[02:22] <DamienCassou> I would like to thank ubuntu maintainers
[02:22] <bimberi> bronze_1_9: lol, ok :)
[02:22] <ardchoille> Desmaano: Writing it now :)
[02:22] <timonator> when starting the X server it crashes and complains about missing libwfb. where can i get it?
[02:22] <Ali_ix> !feisty | scribble
[02:22] <scribble> what would you guys recommnend? feisty or edgy?
[02:22] <ubotu> scribble: 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)
[02:23] <Enoxs> ardchoille : How should i best do this. Eventually if everything works i will write a wiki page about it, maybe other people are interested too
[02:23] <Ali_ix> scribble: wait 12 days and get stable feisty, if not intrested in beta realeas
[02:23] <ardchoille> Enoxs: Writing the wiki page now :)
[02:24] <bronze_1_9> http://os-fun.blogspot.com/2006/04/microhack-xscreensaver-as-root.html
[02:24] <Enoxs> ardchoille : Nope, after i've tested it myself and i'm sure everythings works flawlessly
[02:24] <scribble> if i install edgy then, will i be able to make a simple clean upgrade to feisty?
[02:24] <scribble> when it comes out
[02:24] <ardchoille> Enoxs: *I* am writing a wiki page for it right now :)
[02:24] <astecp> can someone do me a favour: I have a source package against dapper (libc6_2.3.5-1ubuntu12), and I'd like it compiled .. but installing gcc on my system is infeasible at this point (really poor internet connection)
[02:25] <IdleOne> scribble, yes
[02:25] <Enoxs> ardchoille : That's cool man, you rock ;-)
[02:25] <Ali_ix> scribble: check this : http://slibuntu.wordpress.com/2007/03/26/ubuntu-704-feisty-new-features-list/
[02:25] <scribble> ok thats great, thankyou. i'll give 6.10 a try and hold off on feisty
[02:26] <scribble> ok one last question;
[02:27] <scribble> if i do install 6.10, does that kernel have realtime capabilities, with say JACK and ardour? Can i upgrade to a lowlatency vanilla kernel with it?
[02:27] <Ali_ix> astecp: did you heard about SourceForge compile farm?
[02:27] <Jumper> anyone have an idea why a site (my) makes Firefox fade to dark grey and I have to kill the process ?
[02:28] <astecp> ali_ix: what's the easiest way for me to gain access to that?
[02:28] <Jumper> yet the page works fine in pclinuxos and xandros (and windoze)
[02:28] <GreyGhost-Ubuntu> err.. anyone know how i could apt-get gcc 3.x ?
[02:28] <LordTureis> jumper: are you using beryl/compiz?
[02:28] <Jumper> yes
[02:28] <Ali_ix> astecp: check this: https://sourceforge.net/docs/E02/
[02:28] <Desmaano> does anybody know how to make 'networkdrives' with samba for windows  ??
[02:29] <Ash-Fox> !user-mode-linux
[02:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about user-mode-linux - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:29] <netrat> GreyGhost-Ubuntu: aptitude install gcc-3.3
[02:29] <Jumper> will turn on beryl,see if that makes diff
[02:29] <reep> Jumper: the page sends you back to the 50's when internet was black and white
[02:29] <LordTureis> Jumper: I don't know why you have to kill the process, but beryl/compiz turns any frozen/stuck window grey
[02:29] <GreyGhost-Ubuntu> netrat ,it wont overwrite the gcc 4 will it?
[02:29] <Jumper> turn off I ment
[02:29] <netrat> GreyGhost-Ubuntu: no
[02:29] <GreyGhost-Ubuntu> netrat ,thanks :
[02:29] <GreyGhost-Ubuntu> :))
[02:29] <reep> Jumper: it's an option in beryl, it makes inactive windows gray
[02:30] <Jumper> booting, is on my other computer, will try without 3d
[02:30] <Ash-Fox> !usermodelinux
[02:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about usermodelinux - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:30] <Ash-Fox> !uml
[02:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about uml - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:30] <Ash-Fox> Blah
[02:30] <Jumper> is an active page, webcam
[02:30] <Desmaano> reep: i set up my partitions with gparted, i cant see them on 'my computer' missed i some steps??
[02:31] <Deybiyan> Ash-Fox:  virtualbox? :P
[02:31] <IdleOne> !fishing > Ash-Fox
[02:31] <Ash-Fox> Deybiyan, no, I want to use uml
[02:31] <deepsa> try kvm it's awesome
[02:31] <Ali_ix> astecp: got it?
[02:31] <Sniper404> hello
[02:31] <deepsa> Sniper404, ?hello?
[02:31] <Ash-Fox> Doesn't kvm emulate hardware?
[02:32] <Ash-Fox> I just want a virtual Linux system running off the same kernel...
[02:32] <deepsa> Ash-Fox, idk
[02:32] <cox377> hello
[02:32] <reep> Desmaano: they also need to be mounted. I don't know of any graphical interface that mounts them, only how to do it manually
[02:32] <deepsa> Ash-Fox, tried xen
[02:32] <Sniper404> i'm having some problems installing (more specifically partiotioning), is there a specific way to ask for help or can i just ask here?
[02:32] <cox377> when trying to mount a smb share to my kubuntu box i get this msg
[02:32] <reep> Jumper: yea, probably a bug in beryl
[02:32] <IdleOne> Sniper404, ask away and be patient
[02:32] <Ash-Fox> xen probably wouldn't work on my hardware
[02:32] <Sniper404> great
[02:32] <cox377> 25426: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)
[02:32] <cox377> SMB connection failed
[02:32] <Jumper> strange... yup grey is due to beryl, with B off, page justs locks
[02:33] <astecp> ali_ix: that doc apparently no longer exists; also I don't have an existing SF account and I'm really not kidding about this internet link. Any chance if I sent you the source package you could compile for me?
[02:33] <cox377> does anyone know I'm doing wrong?
[02:33] <Desmaano> reep: how to 'mount' ??
[02:33] <Deybiyan> Ash-Fox:  u need umlrun-uml and uml-utilities (I guess)
[02:33] <Jumper> yet same page and ff 2.0.0.3 works fine on both xandros and pclinuxos
[02:33] <reep> Desmaano: try this in a terminal: sudo mkdir /media/disk1 && sudo mount <device name like /dev/sda1 or something> /media/disk1
[02:34] <scribble> wow, everybody should download ubuntu through torrent. im getting almost 350kbs, but only 60 from the website
[02:34] <Kooka> cya all
[02:34] <Sniper404> well, i'm trying to install 6.10 side by side with my existing winxp install.. i currently have one ntfs partition. i ran the ubuntu install and got to the partitioning part, and with the manual partitioning thing i chose to resize the current ntfs partition and create two new partitions (swap and ext3).. but then when the install tried to resize my existing partition it failed, without explaining why
[02:34] <Ali_ix> astecp: sorry, i am at work and using win xp :| no way to compile some linux source code here :(
[02:35] <astecp> ali_ix: no worries, just thought you may have an existing account on the relevant SF boxes :)
[02:35] <reep> Desmaano: sudo fdisk -l should give you a clue which device name is the correct one
[02:35] <Xintruder> can I have ubuntu work as a file server and a printer server for xp clients ?
[02:36] <Desmaano> reep: thanks, working on it :)
[02:36] <Ali_ix> astecp: no :( , check this google cached version of document: http://216.239.59.104/search?q=cache:rZb0xiywPqcJ:https://sourceforge.net/docs/E02/
[02:36] <Mozgus> Just wanna say I'm having a smooth experience on Ubuntu :)
[02:37] <Desmaano> reep: media/disk1:file exists?
[02:37] <Ali_ix> Mozgus: good
[02:38] <reep> Xintruder: probably. You can use samba as file server and cups as printer server, granted that your printers are supported by cups
[02:38] <Mozgus> Smooth as long as i never touch terminal, even when following guides, that is lol
[02:38] <Jumper> only difference I can see between computers/didtro's re that page is I have java plug-in 1.6 versus 1.4.x in xandros
[02:38] <Jumper> not sure whats in the pclinux partition
[02:38] <Jumper> must be the 1.6
[02:38] <reep> Desmaano: what's the device name? sudo mkdir /media/disk1 to create the directory to mount on (you can call it something else too, whatever you like ;)
[02:38] <Firefoxman> How do I install the Helvetica font?
[02:39] <Firefoxman> !helvetica
[02:39] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about helvetica - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:39] <astecp> Ali_ix: thanks. No mention of Ubuntu in there and I doubt x86-linux1 is running my oldish libc, but cheers anyway I'll keep looking
[02:39] <Desmaano> reep: device name is /dev/hdc1 and /dev/hdd1, so filename i can make like : /media/files1 and files2?
[02:39] <Ali_ix> Firefoxman: try mscorefonts package, or find .ttf font and install it eaily
[02:40] <reep> Desmaano: sure, sudo mkdir /media/files1 && sudo mount /dev/hdc1 /media/files1
[02:40] <Desmaano> error: file exists :|
[02:41] <Ali_ix> astecp: x86 debian is a choice
[02:41] <reep> Desmaano: then you've probably allready mounted it... try: df -h
[02:41] <Firefoxman> Ali_ix: It is not in mscorefonts, and I cannot find the ttf.
[02:41] <Sniper404> anyone has an idea why it wont partition my hd? :x
[02:41] <joe4444> i've installed "Fonts (Microsoft and others)" using EasyUbuntu, yet i can't find these fonts... do i need to restart?
[02:41] <Ali_ix> Firefoxman: ask some microsofty friends near to send you ttf file ;)
[02:42] <root_> e
[02:42] <Desmaano> reep: /deb/hdc1 is allready mounted as /media/disk2 :P
[02:43] <Firefoxman> Ali_ix: I have windows insalled, so I can get it from there?
[02:43] <root_> czesc ludzicha
[02:43] <astecp> ali_ix: I have debian-3.0 locally with full build environment -- but libc version doesn't match so dynamic linking would fail
[02:43] <kbrooks> _xevie.c:20:19: error: X11/X.h: No such file or directory
[02:43] <kbrooks> _xevie.c:21:22: error: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory
[02:43] <Desmaano> sudo unmount /dev/hdc1 /media/disk2 ??
[02:43] <kbrooks> How to fix?
[02:43] <joe4444> anyone know which Windows fonts are installed by EasyUbuntu?
[02:43] <Ali_ix> Firefoxman: sure, check this too: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/dviware/dvi2bitmap/doc_libdvi2bitmap/latex/
[02:43] <reep> Desmaano: sudo umount /media/disk2

[02:44] <kbrooks> I need some help...
[02:44] <Ali_ix> astecp: painfull :( i didnt enjoy source compiling never
[02:44] <kbrooks> What is the package that contains X11/X.h and X11/Xlib.h ?
[02:44] <joe4444> Firefoxman, yes i've seen their site... it has almost as little info as the app itself
[02:45] <joe4444> "Fonts: Install Microsoft and other nice fonts"
[02:45] <Ali_ix> Firefoxman: after getting ttf font, jus open a file manager window and type fonts:/// in adres bar, copy ttf file here ;)
[02:45] <joe4444> specifically i'm looking for Arial
[02:45] <astecp> ali_ix: it can be relatively pain-free .. but with such a crappy uplink I'm learning not many things are on ubuntu/debian!
[02:45] <Firefoxman> joe4444: For help and or discussions about EasyUbuntu please join #easyubuntu
[02:45] <reep> kbrooks: x11proto-core-dev

[02:46] <joe4444> Firefoxman, does it simply install mscorefonts?
[02:46] <Ali_ix> joe4444: arial is included i mscorefont package
[02:47] <Ali_ix> !info mscorefont
[02:47] <ubotu> Package mscorefont does not exist in edgy, edgy-backports, edgy-seveas
[02:47] <joe4444> Ali_ix, does EasyUbuntu install mscorefont?
[02:47] <kbrooks> reep, what about Xlib.h
[02:47] <Seveas> Ali_ix, msttcorefonts
[02:47] <Teres_> !sound juicer mp3
[02:47] <Ali_ix> joe4444: dont know,

[02:48] <ubotu> File xlib.h found in graphviz-dev, kvirc-dev, libax25-dev, libcairo2-dev, libcegui-mk2-dev (and 8 others)
[02:48] <kbrooks> Seveas, case matters, no?
[02:48] <kbrooks> !more
[02:48] <Firefoxman> joe4444: Type: sudo apt-get install mscorefonts
[02:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about more - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:48] <Firefoxman> Worked for me.
[02:48] <LOWER_CASE> Help, my nvidia card has developed a fault: I want to replace it with an old Cirrus card from stock. What do I kneed to do to update my hardware in Ubuntu?
[02:48] <kraut> !less

[02:49] <reep> kbrooks:  libx11-dev
[02:49] <joe4444> Firefoxman, thanks
[02:49] <Seveas> kbrooks, use apt-file..
[02:49] <Firefoxman> joe4444: np
[02:49] <Firefoxman> ARE automatix and easy ubuntu safe to use? REaly safe?
[02:49] <kbrooks> Seveas, apt-file has never worked for me
[02:49] <Teres_> im using sound juicer and im trying to extract cds in mp3 format but i cant get it 2 work
[02:49] <Teres_> wat do id o?
[02:50] <kbrooks> Firefoxman, the developers do not guarantee that.
[02:50] <reep> Teres_: in Sound Juicer, hit F1, and read the preferences page in the help-browser
[02:50] <Teres_> i did
[02:50] <neil> !automatix
[02:50] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[02:50] <timonator> http://deadbeefbabe.org/paste/4274  what can you guys tell me about this? (nvidia driver makes X fail to start)
[02:50] <reep> Teres_: have you installed the gstreamer plugins?
[02:50] <Teres_> i added the mp3 profile exactly as it says but it doesnt put it in the menu when i go back into the prgram
[02:51] <kbrooks> Hmmm.
[02:51] <Teres_> which ones
[02:51] <Teres_> there are alot
[02:51] <Firefoxman> !WorksForME
[02:51] <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.
[02:51] <NBrepresent> hi, i'm wondering whether there are driver packages for multimedia keyboards, like to use the extra hotkeys, etc.
[02:52] <NBrepresent> does anything like that exist, where you can remap the input to custom functions?
[02:52] <Teres_> which gstreamer libs must i install?
[02:52] <ardchoille> bronze_1_9 , Enoxs , IdleOne https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ScreensaverAsWallpaper
[02:52] <bronze_1_9> arcade: :)
[02:53] <tbuss> NBrepresent: I have asked similiar questions for my logitech keyboard, also searched and posted on forums; no luck
[02:53] <Teres_> reep: ?
[02:53] <ardchoille> bronze_1_9: Are you on Edgy or Dapper?
[02:53] <schiv> what is ubuntu?
[02:53] <NBrepresent> tbuss: thanks for letting me know. that's too bad.
[02:53] <NBrepresent> i like to control music from the keyboard.
[02:53] <bronze_1_9> Dapper and Edgy
[02:53] <reep> Teres_: I believe you need one of the gstreamer0.10-plugins-* packages, don't know which one provides mp3

[02:54] <astecp> hey whaddaya know, a static build worked. Not ideal but hey it's something :-)
[02:54] <tbuss> NBrepresent: the sad thing is; it's probably possible and some one knows how to do it
[02:54] <ardchoille> bronze_1_9: I don't have Edgy, so if you do try that please let me know if there is anything I need to edit/add to the wiki page.
[02:54] <Teres_> i installed the gstreamer lame plugin like it sed but that didnt help
[02:54] <bronze_1_9> arcade: garf!
[02:54] <Sniper404> so no one knows what might cause the partitioning error?
[02:55] <Desmaano> reep: sudo umount /media/disk1 (followed by) sudo mkdir /media/disk1 && sudo mount /dev/hdc1 /media/disk1, gives me the error: file exists. strange
[02:55] <Desmaano> df -h say it doesnt exist
[02:55] <likewise> How can I enable the Compiz "fire" or mystical fire plugin in an up-to-date Feisty
[02:55] <joe4444> Ali_ix, i'm trying to copy arial.ttf into fonts:/// but having no luck... it just doesn't do anything
[02:56] <rambo3> likewise, #ubuntu-effects
[02:56] <joe4444> where does fonts:/// point to?
[02:56] <mEck0> I can't start F-spot (on Feisty) :S Why is that? I have tried to start it on both my machines, but it won't start :(
[02:56] <Firefoxman> HOW can I find the right driver for my BROTHER HL-5250ND Laser printer. I tried going to http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/index.html , but it was not much help.

[02:56] <Ali_ix> joe4444: i have tested in feisty and works fine
[02:56] <LOWER_CASE> Help, my nvidia card has developed a fault & I want to replace it with an old Cirrus card from my junk bin. How do I get Ubuntu to search for new hardware or what do I need to do to update?
[02:56] <likewise> rambo3: tnx
[02:56] <reep> Desmaano: sorry, I wasn't thinking far enough, the mkdir will fail because the dir does not exist, and the next command will not run
[02:57] <reep> Desmaano: just do them seperately, first create directories (which you have done), then mount
[02:57] <joe4444> Ali_ix, do you know the path fonts:/// points to?
[02:57] <reep> Desmaano: sudo mount /dev/hdc1 /media/disk1
[02:58] <IndyGunFreak> Whats the name of that Desktop search tool in Ubuntu?.. I know its in synaptic, just can't remember the name of it.
[02:58] <Desmaano> reep: does mkdir creates a dir ? like it means make directory?
[02:58] <zyth> beagle
[02:58] <reep> Desmaano: yes
[02:58] <Desmaano> reep: thanks :D
[02:58] <IndyGunFreak> zyth: thats it... thanks.
[02:58] <Hobbsee> IndyGunFreak: beagle
[02:58] <zyth> IndyGunFreak, np
[02:58] <Ali_ix> joe4444: no, check wiki page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto
[02:59] <IndyGunFreak> been trying to think of that for an hour..lol

[03:00] <joe4444> finally got it to work
[03:00] <pitagoricus> hi! i'm unable to print to cups-pdf from dos applications... can anybody help? thanks!
[03:00] <joe4444> putting the .ttf in ~/.fonts/ works :)
[03:01] <LOWER_CASE> Help! What do I do to get ubuntu to search for a replaced video card on bootup?
[03:01] <tonyyarusso> cat foo > bar is write to and foo >> bar is append (without overwriting previous), correct?
[03:01] <reep> Desmaano: well, you've only mounted it manually now, after a restart, they will not be mounted anymore
[03:01] <joe4444> *sigh*
[03:01] <reep> Desmaano: you should edit /etc/fstab and add the following lines
[03:01] <joe4444> arial still doesn't render properly
[03:02] <reep> Desmaano: /dev/hdc1 /media/disk1 ext3 defaults 0 2

[03:02] <[-T-] 776> hi
[03:02] <joe4444> it looks like the letter spacing is too wide
[03:02] <[-T-] 776> is anyone here experiencing video tearing issue with xgl please ?
[03:03] <pasta_time> hello
[03:03] <bronze_1_9> ardchoille: yes. :)
[03:03] <LOWER_CASE> Ubuntu: new video card to replace FLICKED video card? What do I need to do?
[03:03] <pasta_time> i have just installed gui ltsp manager, how do i launch it?
[03:04] <ardchoille> bronze_1_9: I just installed xscreensaver and it has the circuit screensaver.
[03:05] <bronze_1_9> ardchoille: I have no explanation. I just installed it as well. perhaps the package for edgy lacks circuit
[03:05] <Desmaano> reep. does the number of spaces between the values matter ?
[03:05] <ardchoille> bronze_1_9: Perhaps you are right.
[03:05] <reep> Desmaano: no, there needs to be at least one, but there can be more than one
[03:05] <ardchoille> bronze_1_9: That tutorial should allow you to do it with any screensaver you have.
[03:05] <pasta_time> i have just installed gui ltsp manager, how do i launch it?
[03:07] <Desmaano> reep: file is read only, :P ok tell me how
[03:07] <bronze_1_9> ard- interesting -= Mosty are not there, (running demo now)
[03:07] <reep> Desmaano: sudo gedit /etc/fstab
[03:07] <LOWER_CASE> Ekky Ekky Ekky Fertang! My video card is FLICKED: I wanna replace it: do I need to do anything to Ubuntu's bootup to ignore the old one, and recognise the newie?
[03:08] <bronze_1_9> LOWER_CASE: yank out the old one
[03:08] <JosefK> LOWER_CASE, nothing to boot, X might have trouble loading, if it does, boot into recovery mode and use 'dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' to get yourself a new xorg.conf
[03:08] <bronze_1_9> LOWER_CASE: if its integrated with the MB, get your manual out and find the jumper or bios setting to diableit.
[03:08] <bronze_1_9> *disable it
[03:11] <bronze_1_9> ardchoille: yeah, will try in a bit.
[03:11] <Firefoxman> FOR some reason, I cannot find my printer on the network.
[03:11] <Firefoxman> Oh... nvmnd. it is off.
[03:11] <Mozgus> Why does Ubuntu always set my time wrong? My time zone is -6, and it takes 6 off my BIOS's time, which is already correct at -6
[03:11] <LOWER_CASE> JosofK & bronze_1_9: thank-you kind person: will try as you suggest. Bye.
[03:12] <Firefoxman> Mozgus: When you set it up, you forgot to specify that bios time is local time.
[03:12] <Mozgus> How do i set that up?

Not having support for DPMS in X though, now my screen does not turn on even after moving the mouse or keyboard.

[03:43] <dicon> anyone uses mercury msn?
[03:43] <shane634> tmroland,  i suggest 6.06 for the best support
[03:44] <lld> first, it shouldn't prevent you from using your computer normally, second: i don't know who to fix it :/
[03:44] <tmroland> shane634: more than enough for running ubuntu : pentium 4 1.8ghz , 512 ddram memory, radeon 9550 with opensource driver, Maxtor 40GB hd, Dell optiplex gx260
[03:44] <fuzzy_logic> i recently installed kubuntu-desktop packages, and since then i don't see the beryl window manager.. instead, i see the normal gnome window decoration.. while beryl is running.. anyone help plz?
[03:44] <reep> tmroland: then I would try switching to console with CTRL+ALT+F1 and run dmesg|less to see if it gives any reasonable output, but it's uncertain whether you can get back to X with CTRL+ALT+F7, considering your problems
[03:44] <shane634> tmroland, edgy doesn't play nice sometimes... that is why it is a devel release
[03:45] <ompaul> fuzzy_logic, might be useful to ask in either #ubuntu-effects or in #kubuntu
[03:45] <tmroland> edgy a devel release? wasnt it officialy out in october 2006 ?
[03:45] <reep> Desmaano: hm, they don't show up on your desktop either?

[04:01] <NBrepresent> it's fine in xp, so it must be a driver thing
[04:01] <intelikey> as kfax is to kde so ____ is to gnome ?
[04:01] <shane634> leleobhz, ok i am on now
[04:01] <kat> seshomaru1234: I cant find it

[04:01] <shane634> tmroland, any luck with a reboot?
[04:02] <leleobhz> shane634: leleobhzdiscovery...
[04:02] <tmroland> shane634: well things work ok now, otherwise i would quickly replace linux with a commercial unix i have here on cds

[04:02] <intelikey> am i invisable ?
[04:03] <shane634> tmroland, well at least it is working lol
[04:03] <henk> nope ;)
[04:03] <kat> henk: I am sorry I dont know this other chat tool itself
[04:03] <shane634> tmroland, i would like to know why though lol
[04:03] <intelikey> just checking henk...
[04:03] <authorized_noob> But I have a few questions, Is there anyway that i can get aol onto linux, to meet back up with my leet aoler friends.  Ive tried wine and that didnt work.
[04:03] <tmroland> shane634: yea , and i hope i wont live to see this again or im reconsidering using another OS for more reliability
[04:03] <authorized_noob> well not just onto linux, onto ubuntu.
[04:03] <tmroland> but so far, its not necesary
[04:03] <kat> henk: could you tell me any good command to install this good chat tool?
[04:04] <NBrepresent> authorized_noob: does gaim do aol?
[04:04] <tmroland> the cause is still a mistery, but most probably its gnome related
[04:04] <intelikey> kat sudo apt-get install irssi
[04:04] <tmroland> nothign in logs, though
[04:04] <shane634> tmroland,  this is a good os man
[04:04] <FrOstiE> aol isnt good
[04:04] <kat> henk: thanx
[04:04] <tmroland> shane634: its good for most people, but not for all
[04:04] <authorized_noob> It does AIM, But I want AOL chats and stuff.
[04:04] <tmroland> i hope i wont become one of the minority
[04:04] <henk> kat, apt-get install xchat-gnome
[04:04] <authorized_noob> Lol. I grew up on aol.
[04:04] <shane634> tmroland, i will not disagree on that..
[04:05] <FrOstiE> lmao

[04:06] <tmroland> shane634: i dont prefer CDE instead of GNOME for any reason! but alas, if gnome will fail me anymore and get on my nerves.. i might just migrate .. i am sure this is not a OS fault, but mostly distribution/desktop etc
[04:06] <kat> henk: it doesnt work, it says there is a lock or something
[04:06] <NBrepresent> so what do i do about a slightly blurry display?
[04:06] <reep> Desmaano: the url?
[04:06] <juice`> are there any new articles about booting ubuntu from USB? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick is for dapper

[04:07] <kat> henk : I think I am ready
[04:07] <henk> kat, do you use gnome or kde ??
[04:07] <tmroland> as we both agreed, stability and how good a OS it is is not a universally true thing.. results vary with each person , and most are ok but a few are unlucky/unsatisfied
[04:07] <kat> henk : apt-get install xchat-gnome
[04:07] <kat> henk : sorry

[04:23] <Desmaano> reep: more stuff for me ?
[04:23] <xircx> do amd mother boards work good with ubuntu?
[04:23] <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
[04:23] <Ahorner> xircx: yes
[04:24] <marcagio> Ahorner, I read about it but it seems like the developement has been stoped at a verry low level ?
[04:24] <xircx> kk
[04:24] <henk> i cant see see
[04:24] <LjL> Ahorner: with a text editor. edit /etc/apt/sources.list (by typing "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list", for example), then remove the "#" from the lines that say "universe" (except the ones that also say "backports"), and add the word "multiverse" to the end of them. it's all explained on the bot's page anyway
[04:24] <reep> Desmaano: dunno really, which ubuntu release are you using?
[04:25] <Ahorner> LjL; thanks
[04:25] <MaxRandor> Ahorner or go to system --> administration > software sources
[04:25] <LjL> Ahorner: you can do the same thing by just using the GUI, if you prefer. i just don't know precisely how, but the docs say

[04:25] <kat> seshomaru123: yes there is left and right panels
[04:25] <vox754> LjL, when Feisty is officially out, support will be provided here, of course, but what is going to happen to #ubuntu+1, I'm intrigued.
[04:26] <Ahorner> LjL: so i just add multiverse to the end of these two and uncomment them?
[04:26] <Ahorner> deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy universe
[04:26] <LjL> vox754: it will be closed and remain closed until the new development version is announced.
[04:26] <MaxRandor> Ahorner to change your sources list using gui
[04:26] <kat> seshomaru123: i saw it
[04:26] <Ahorner> just do deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy universe multiverse?

[04:26] <LjL> Ahorner: yes. are you sure it's just two, however? there should also be two for edgy-security and edgy-updates
[04:26] <kat> henk : I am sorry, once I closed this FreeNode chatroom
[04:26] <SubMOA> that second "so" should be a "no"
[04:26] <Ahorner> umm han on

[04:27] <firefoxman> SubMOA: Please go to ##windows

[04:27] <LjL> Ahorner: that looks right. same for edgy-updates
[04:27] <seshomaru123> hello
[04:27] <vox754> Ahorner, I suggest you use Synaptic to set the repositories, it is very easy.

[04:37] <LjL> Ahorner: that's not an error. it's saying that the java package was installed correctly. it probably just tried to install the java SDK as well (not sure why, probably a recommend...), and failed with that. shouldn't be a problem, but you may want to do "sudo apt-get remove j2sdk1.4" anyway
[04:37] <vox754> Ahorner, "aptitude search sun-java"  "aptitude show sun-java5-jre"
[04:37] <don_jr> Yes through windows xp....
[04:37] <kat> henk : I found my.cnf!
[04:37] <Ahorner> LjL: thatone didnt have an error but http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14405/ did
[04:37] <Desmaano> don_jr; mayby you can manually set up the ip adress
[04:37] <LjL> Ahorner: i referred to the apt-cache output now, let me look at that
[04:37] <don_jr> Desmaano that would be great, what file do I need to edit the info in?
[04:37] <henk> kat, yep they are all under your lampp install dir /etc
[04:37] <Desmaano> don_jr; you have acces by a modem or so ?
[04:37] <kat> henk : I found php.ini too
[04:37] <LjL> Ahorner: that's ok, just type "no" and then remove that package as i said above. just a little nuisance
[04:37] <henk> kat, Good Luck !
[04:37] <Ahorner> how do i remove
[04:37] <zYe> aspecat: i want 1600x1200 on geforece fx5200 256mb card, and i haved edited the xorg.config to show the resoution setting but it wont
[04:37] <Ahorner> o ok
[04:38] <LjL> vox754, he has it installed.
[04:38] <kat> henk : what kind of files are there in /etc, by the way?
[04:38] <Ultima> How do i add my system tray back?
[04:38] <LjL> Ahorner: "sudo apt-get remove j2sdk1.4"
[04:38] <Ahorner> k
[04:38] <don_jr> Desmaano my laptop that I'm on here is wireless, the desktop I'm trying to get online is connected by cat5 to my router
[04:38] <LjL> Ultima: right click on the panel, "Add applet"
[04:38] <Ultima> I accidently removedit
[04:38] <henk> config files for apache / mysql and proftpd
[04:38] <Ahorner> i get the same error
[04:38] <vox754> LjL, apparently he does... Then what was he trying to do?
[04:38] <zYe> apecat: and i have also ran this resolution on my old moniter, but it just recently died, this is a new monitor
[04:38] <Ultima> But I can't find systemtray
[04:38] <Ahorner> wait i need to do autoremove
[04:38] <jin> helllo
[04:39] <jin> any tool similar to virtualdub for Ubuntu?
[04:39] <Ahorner> ugh!
[04:39] <jin> I want to split videos into pieces
[04:39] <zYe> !resolution
[04:39] <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
[04:39] <LjL> vox754: wondering why APT was complaining about j2sdk not being able to be installed (which is normal, since it's just a wrapper package that requires an external file). i don't know why sun-java5-jre brought that package in
[04:39] <Ahorner> i still get the same error
[04:39] <Desmaano> take a look at System> Management? > network don_jr
[04:39] <kat> henk : thanks a lot, I know quite well about MySQL and Apache, but nothing about Linux, I was struggling to find it for a day today
[04:39] <kat> henk : thank you very much
[04:39] <zYe> apecat: are you there?
[04:39] <Desmaano> reep: i rebooted, it works thanks a lot mate :DD
[04:39] <don_jr> on my laptop here?  cause on my desktop I have console only
[04:39] <apecat> zYe: yeah a moment
[04:39] <Ultima> Nevermind I got it working
[04:39] <apecat> zYe: look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:39] <LjL> Ahorner: try removing j2sdk1.4-doc then
[04:40] <henk> kat, no ploblem dude ! Good Luck configuring your mysql and apache
[04:40] <zYe> apecat: and i also ran the autodetect script again
[04:40] <Ahorner> ok
[04:40] <apecat> and add the relevant resolutions
[04:40] <Desmaano> don_jr: sorry dont have console, let me search
[04:40] <don_jr> ok
[04:40] <LjL> Ahorner: actually, remove anything that starts with "j2sdk". do "dpkg --get-selections | grep j2sdk" to know which ones
[04:40] <apecat> zYe: the autodetect script is not that good in my experience
[04:40] <vox754> LjL, I installed sun-java5 through aptitude, which also install dependencies, and it never did a thing with sdk, so I guess he had installed both previously, maybe from source or erroneously.
[04:40] <reep> Desmaano: ah, nice :)
[04:40] <Ahorner> dpkg --get-selections | grep j2sdk
[04:40] <apecat> i've always had to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to get above 60 hz with my crt monitors
[04:40] <zYe> apecat: ok then, well i am in xor.config atm
[04:40] <Desmaano> disk1 and disk 2 on my desktop :D
[04:40] <Ahorner> j2sdk1.4                                        deinstall
[04:40] <Ahorner> j2sdk1.4-doc                                    deinstall
[04:41] <LjL> vox754: any APT program installs "dependencies", aptitude installs *recommends* as well :P anyway, no idea, but i've seen this before (not on my system, but another user had the same)
[04:41] <Desmaano> by the way, can i mount the disk in an other folder so they don;t appear on the desktop ?
[04:41] <compilerwriter1> I created two edgy iso burns for friends.  tested them on my wifes laptop.  It is a Toshiba Satellite.  Everything went well except that the hardwired wireless device was not supported.  Any idea how I can get that fixed patched, or is there a flag I shoul have used?
[04:41] <LjL> Ahorner: "sudo apt-get --purge remove j2sdk1.4 j2sdk1.4-doc"
[04:41] <Ahorner> LjL: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14407/
[04:42] <LjL> Ahorner: should be fine then
[04:42] <fuzzy_logic> does anyone know how i can get my laptop bluetooth working on ubuntu? plz help?
[04:42] <Ahorner> ok the now what
[04:42] <vox754> Desmaano, yes, mount them anywhere, like /mystuff, not under /media
[04:42] <Ahorner> !bluetooth | fuzzy_logic
[04:42] <ubotu> fuzzy_logic: For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[04:42] <LjL> Ahorner: now nothing. unless "sudo apt-get install -f" gives you an error (try), everything should be fine
[04:42] <Desmaano> vox754, thanks :)
[04:43] <Ahorner> LjL: yay it worked
[04:43] <[Yoni] > Hi all
[04:43] <LjL> Ahorner: actually that's "sudo apt-get -f install" i guess
[04:43] <Desmaano> from ubuntu-noob to less-ubuntu-noob :)
[04:43] <kam1kaz3> can anyone please tell me how do I disable anti-aliasing only to a specific font?
[04:43] <LjL> Ahorner: well, same then
[04:43] <[Yoni] > I've got dificaults running ubuntu 6.06 live or install it
[04:43] <fuzzy_logic> Ahroner: thanks ill give it a try
[04:43] <Ahorner> now whats the packajge for java
[04:43] <zYe> apecat: what should i edit?
[04:43] <[Yoni] > Can I change X settings from the console
[04:43] <Ahorner> fuxxy_logic: no problem :-)
[04:43] <apecat> [Yoni] : does your machine have enough ram to run the live cd
[04:43] <LjL> Ahorner: it's sun-java5-jre, and you already have it installed.
[04:43] <Ahorner> lol
[04:43] <Ahorner> ok
[04:43] <Ahorner> now why can't i still play java games
[04:43] <apecat> zYe: do you use nvidia or ati drivers?
[04:44] <zYe> apecat: nividia
[04:44] <Ahorner> and what about ava(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition 1.4.2_14
[04:44] <kam1kaz3> [Yoni] : sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:44] <LjL> Ahorner: no idea, what do they complain about? are they web pages? perhaps you need to restart your browser and/or tell it to check for java again.
[04:44] <Desmaano> ok next problem too solve, please help me set up my mirror-array :) (raid1)
[04:44] <apecat> zYe: and again, what did you want to do
[04:44] <LjL> Ahorner: yes, the runtime environment is what sun-java5-jre is
[04:44] <Ahorner> ok
[04:44] <[Yoni] > yes it has 2 gb of ram, core 2 duo.. its msi notebook
[04:44] <Ahorner> lemme try game again

[04:49] <vox754> LjL, I mean, some of them may be using scripts or so look like bots, but do bots have a special signature or something that identifies them like non-human?
[04:49] <Kaur> How can i get rid of it
[04:49] <Linuxnewbie756> Kaur: that is interference, that is natural
[04:49] <LjL> vox754: no. *autorized* bots do

[04:50] <Linuxnewbie756> Kaur: it is, if you are using analog instead of digital. what are you trying to record?

[04:51] <Ahorner> how do you update from edgy to foxy from terminal
[04:52] <Linuxnewbie756> apecat: used to, you have to setup the drivers
[04:52] <Kaur> Linuxnewbie756: I don't understand what u mean
[04:52] <Desmaano> don_jr
[04:52] <zYe> Can anyone help me gain a screen resolution that isn't an option under screen resolution.
[04:52] <Linuxnewbie756> Kaur: are you using a microphone with the plugin that looks like headphones?

[04:52] <Gog123>  how do i fix this?
[04:52] <Linuxnewbie756> Kaur: and is the noice sorta like a static?
[04:52] <Kaur> Linuxnewbie756: Basicly, it's a skype headset...
[04:52] <kam1kaz3> zYe, edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and add the resolution setting
[04:53] <Ahorner> is there a terminal command to upgrade from edgy to fiesty>
[04:53] <Kaur> Linuxnewbie756: yes, it's static
[04:53] <don_jr> Desmaano yes I"m here...more problems than I thought.  I can't even ping my router
[04:53] <Ahorner> !envy | zYe
[04:53] <ubotu> zYe: 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
[04:53] <Desmaano> and if you manually set it up ?
[04:53] <zYe> kam1kaz3: i already have tried editing that:   Modes		"1600x1200" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
[04:53] <Linuxnewbie756> Kaur: usb plugin? no, its probably analog, you plug it into your pc witha round connector that looks like a headphone jack
[04:53] <Desmaano> like ip: 192.168.1.2 or something
[04:53] <Kaur> Linuxnewbie756: yes, it's analog... No usb
[04:53] <Ahorner> 192.168.1.1 to be correct
[04:54] <Ahorner> if it's linksys
[04:54] <Ahorner> or 192.168.0.1
[04:54] <Desmaano> ahorner: i mean the ip for the system you set up
[04:54] <Linuxnewbie756> Kaur: you need a usb headset, that will eliminate the static. analog almost always have static
[04:54] <don_jr> Desmaano I'm not sure how to manually set it up.  I set my IP and gateway and what not durring install

[04:58] <kam1kaz3> not to do what I want, but I did follow a guide to disable anti-aliasing for font sizes below a certain size
[04:58] <HyDraGeN> anyone knows where can i find some totem player codecs ?
[04:58] <vox754> Steve^, if you installed the distribution the gparted program is not installed by default; install it manually "sudo aptitude install gparted"

[05:06] <MaxRandor> I had to reboot the first time I did that :-)
[05:06] <don_jr> reep there are 2 lines listed under destination, gateway nad genmask.  top line dest is 192.168.1.0  gateway is all 0's, genmask is 255.255.255.0, second line under destination is all 0's, gateway 192.168.1.1 and genmaks all 0's

[05:09] <reep> don_jr: then it should be working afaik... unless maybe you have two network cards, and ubuntu only sees one of them (the wrong one)?
[05:09] <[BTF] Chm0d> no Gog123
[05:09] <[BTF] Chm0d> thats not it

[05:13] <Gog123> BTF I did a sudo upgrade-manager -d it says command not found
[05:14] <ntsdm> 6.10
[05:14] <[BTF] Chm0d> i meant kernel ntsdm sorry
[05:14] <maxagaz> is there soething better than d4x to download on ubuntu ?

[05:14] <ntsdm> ok how do i tell you the answer?
[05:14] <SlimeyPete> ntsdm: your old kernel will still be selectable from the boot menu

[05:14] <Gog123> i guess ill just wait till next month
[05:14] <Gog123> and get the final
[05:14] <SlimeyPete> firefoxman: pretty good. It runs Office well, and Photoshop pretty well (except CS2/3 last time I looked)

[05:34] <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

[05:35] <gene6482> hey everyone, was wondering if anyone has any experience with ubuntu on a toshiba p105-s6197 laptop, looking to get rid of vista

[05:35] <vbabiy> hey guys i am trying to install ubuntu and its stuck at 90% says Detecing hardware and lookign for USB Storage
[05:35] <bef> gene6482: I have used an ubuntu derivative on a toshiba satellite
[05:36] <bef> vbabiy: for how long has it been "stuck"
[05:36] <vbabiy> 10mins
[05:36] <don_jr> Okay, I've added the nvidia site as a repository, now what do I apt-get install...what's the package name?
[05:36] <vbabiy> bef maybe more
[05:36] <bef> vbabiy: give it some more time, if it has not progressed in 10 more minutes then repeat your problem :] 
[05:36] <ntsdm> SLIMEYPETE i wont become so easliy enraged with people if they dont hole their fictisious knoledge over others  as a superiority complex
[05:36] <vbabiy> ok will do
[05:37] <vbabiy> and for some reason when i booted with the live cd none of my usb devices worked
[05:37] <vbabiy> not mouse
[05:37] <bef> ntsdm: He was trying to be helpful, give the guy a rest.
[05:37] <vbabiy> i have to use ps2 mouse
[05:37] <SlimeyPete> ntsdm: Um, I'm not sure what you're getting at. What have I done to offend you? I realise that one of my comments was a little sarcy but I don't see why that warrants a baseless personal attack.
[05:37] <Hobbsee> ntsdm: dude, calm down.
[05:37] <bef> vbabiy: I've also had some USB problems whilst on a live CD but they were resolved when I installed to HDD.
[05:37] <Cytomax> I currently wanted to get rid of my dual boot with XP and just stick to ubuntu so i ran Darik Boot and Nuke to clean the HD and now when i boot up all i get is a white blinking line at the top left hand corner of my screen does that mean the bootloader is still there?
[05:37] <Hobbsee> ntsdm: else i'll give you the boot for personal attacks.

[05:47] <LeRrA> Seveas, tryed with the breezy file but i get some errors:( so it doesn't even start, is there any other way?
[05:47] <vbabiy> it says hardware dectecing

[05:47] <kingcobra> birdmun, ill try that, do ya know what is the default for an external hd partition
[05:48] <LordLimecat> but wierd things have happened when i attempt to login to gdm
[05:48] <Neuling> direct link to the file cellojoe
[05:48] <LordLimecat> on FIRST try after reboot, it starts the load bar, and crashes
[05:48] <birdmun> kingcobra, do you have it mounted currently?
[05:48] <bef> LordLimecat: Hm.
[05:48] <vbabiy> bef any idea what i should do
[05:48] <LordLimecat> second load, either loadbar doesnt appear, or it says "gnome panel is already loaded"
[05:48] <cellojoe> Neuling: try saving the file and playing it with something... saaay VLC
[05:48] <brokenbin>  how do i install packages ignoring dependencies?
[05:48] <WaxyFresh> i need some serius help with apt ive been trying to fix this for days thru the forums/irc/google and havent gotten anywhere.http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2416249#post2416249
[05:49] <PriceChild> brokenbin, there are dependecies for a resaon... that will just break things.
[05:49] <Neuling> ok cellojoe thanks
[05:49] <LordLimecat> sometimes, it goes to a blank console where keys are ALL "caught", including any attempts to switch console
[05:49] <NBX> What to do, if on MySQL Debian i cannot create another user?
[05:49] <bef> vbabiy: It is still at 90%? Ok, well, break the install, unplug any USB devices, restart the install. Then plug in USB devices and they will be detected post-install
[05:49] <LordLimecat> ctrl alt-delete does not work at that point, nor do attempts to switch console
[05:49] <Desmaano> reep: got the message ?
[05:49] <brokenbin> PriceChild: but dependencies is a problem right now
[05:49] <reep> Desmaano: yea, think you need to run it as sudo
[05:49] <kingcobra> birdmun, yes, i did it thru gparted
[05:49] <PriceChild> brokenbin, what's the real problem?
[05:49] <vbabiy> do i have to take out my USB Control i have on PCI
[05:49] <NBX> What to do, if on MySQL Debian i cannot create another user? - I have no rights!
[05:49] <Zaggynl> Okay this is really creeping me out
[05:49] <Zaggynl> my keyboard just stopped working
[05:50] <Zaggynl> I had to reboot to get it to work again
[05:50] <brokenbin> PriceChild: is there any way to disable it?
[05:50] <Desmaano> ok lets try
[05:50] <PriceChild> brokenbin, what's the real problem?
[05:50] <Zaggynl> mouse did work to some extend, but dropdown menu's didn't work
[05:50] <birdmun> kingcobra, at console type cat /etc/mtab and look for it in the list you see
[05:50] <NBX> What to do, if on MySQL Debian i cannot create another user? - I have no rights!
[05:50] <cellojoe> NBX: get rights :P
[05:50] <NBX> how?
[05:50] <Desmaano> reep: negative, same error
[05:50] <NBX> it is the main user
[05:50] <NBX> debian-sys-maint
[05:50] <cellojoe> how are you trying to add the user?
[05:50] <NBX> grant all ...
[05:50] <kingcobra> birdmun, thats my cd line /dev/hdc        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
[05:50] <bef> vbabiy: No, I certainly don't think that would affect it :)
[05:51] <brokenbin> PriceChild: I can't install criawips
[05:51] <cellojoe> let me restate, what are you using to add the user? such as a GUI or... a .conf file?
[05:51] <NBX> cellojoe, terminal
[05:51] <NBX> mysql -u root -p
[05:51] <NBX> mysql -u debian-sys-maint -p
[05:51] <NBX> tb
[05:51] <PriceChild> brokenbin, what's the output of sudo apt-get install criawips ?
[05:51] <cellojoe> sudo
[05:51] <PriceChild> !paste > brokenbin (see pm from ubotu)
[05:51] <birdmun> kingcobra, what is the line that mentions your external hard drive?
[05:51] <kingcobra> birdmun, this is line from cat mtab /dev/sda3 /media/external vfat rw 0 0
[05:52] <NBX> cellojoe, i dont think that matters
[05:52] <Desmaano> !sudo
[05:52] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.

[05:58] <El_Burro> when i boot ubuntu from grub i get two error messages very briefly before it loads up and works normally, is there a way to veiw these messages?
[05:58] <NBX> Hey, i cannot grant anything in MySQL with my user, but it is the main user - debian-sys-maint which is auto-created when installed. Whats the problem? :(
[05:58] <cellojoe> ompaul: whats !nickspam do?
[05:58] <kantor> how can I change the keyboard layout , but not that form the preferences , I have  choosed the wrong key at the installation process , wen ubuntu recognizes your keyboard, and now I can not correct the error
[05:58] <Seveas> NBX, debian-sys-maint is NOT the main user
[05:58] <Hobbsee> !nickspam | cellojoe
[05:58] <ubotu> cellojoe: You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair on new users. The same goes for using noisy away messages (see !Away for more details): use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently
[05:58] <NBX> Seveas, what is then?
[05:59] <Seveas> NBX, root with no password from localhost
[05:59] <LordLimecat> cellojoe--former windows user.  I am well aware of the horrors of realplayer
[05:59] <ompaul> !nickspam > cellojoe (you can ask the bot with /msg ;-))
[05:59] <LordLimecat> :)
[05:59] <NBX> Seveas, it has password
[05:59] <cellojoe> LordLimecat: :) at least it wasn't No 1
[05:59] <Seveas> NBX, then you set one yourself
[05:59] <cellojoe> AOL was :P
[05:59] <NBX> Seveas, i installed it using apt-get install mysql
[05:59] <NBX> Seveas, how?
[05:59] <robinlinth> Anyone know of a good Youtube-frontend for Ubuntu?
[06:00] <birdmun> I have a custom time/date on my gnome-panel and for some reason it slips to the left over time. Sometimes a few pixels a day/hour and sometimes 10 or 20 at once. Any ideas or suggestions on places to look for a bug?
[06:00] <Seveas> NBX, if root has a password now, you have set one
[06:00] <NBX> Seveas, no i havent
[06:00] <Seveas> by default root in mysql has no password
[06:00] <LordLimecat> AOL was sort of like darwinism in action
[06:00] <Seveas> NBX, bullshit.
[06:00] <LordLimecat> kept the noobs off of the real internets
[06:00] <LordLimecat> :D
[06:00] <NBX> Seveas, i installed it using apt-get install
[06:00] <Seveas> !noob > LordLimecat
[06:00] <ice_cream> lo, having weird performance/temp problems.. could this be because i dont have DMA enabled on my kernel?
[06:00] <NBX> Seveas, from start i couldnt login
[06:00] <kantor> how can I change the keyboard layout , but not that form the preferences , I have  choosed the wrong key at the installation process , wen ubuntu recognizes your keyboard, and now I can not correct the error
[06:00] <ice_cream> actually not sure how to check
[06:01] <cables> Can I use Grip to encode WAVs into mp3s without a CD?
[06:01] <Seveas> NBX, I don't believe you.

[06:02] <Seveas> bef, we're talking about mysql passwords
[06:02] <Muddy666> ok

[06:03] <Thug-N-Me> cables then xvid should be fine
[06:03] <NBX> How can i reset my MySQL root password?
[06:03] <cables> Thug-N-Me, if you want a nice frontend for ripping DVDs, you can install acidrip. If you want to do it from the commandline, I'll start reading the manfile.

[06:04] <coolness9> hey there, im new to linux, I have the Ubuntu Distro. I installed LAMP, and got it all working. My default web folder is /var/www. When i try to write a script and save it to the folder, it says permission denied. Is there anyway to set the permissions to this folder without having to use sudo everytime?
[06:04] <Hobbsee> ompaul: bah, you beta me.
[06:04] <ompaul> NBX, that is well documented on the interweb http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html
[06:04] <nox-Hand> Hey hey
[06:04] <Suurorca> mencoder can do xvid, divx5, h264 and who-knows-what
[06:04] <NBX> okay
[06:04] <Thug-N-Me> cables i have acidrip already installed and i remember ive done it last time with it but i cannot remember how :)
[06:04] <NBX> THANKS
[06:04] <bef> NBX: http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/Security/MySQL_root_password_recovey
[06:04] <NBX> thanks again
[06:04] <cables> Thug-N-Me, why not use acidrip then?
[06:04] <Thug-N-Me> cables im talking about acidrip
[06:04] <nox-Hand> If my /home partition (all of hdd) is full, and Iwant more space, could I somehow extend it onto another drive? Such as hda2 mounted as /home would extend it? (can two partitions be mounted at once?)
[06:04] <cables> Thug-N-Me, I thought you wanted to do this from the command line...
[06:04] <NBX> bef, su - shows me Authentication error
[06:05] <Thug-N-Me> cables last time i converted a vob file from cd now the vob its on my ~ path

[06:05] <cables> Thug-N-Me, ah.
[06:06] <NBX> ompaul, thaanks! :*
[06:06] <cables> Thug-N-Me, I'll use acidrip to generate the command for you, and paste it here.
[06:06] <Thug-N-Me> cables thanks
[06:06] <Thug-N-Me> cables video source ... i  cannot point it to my ~ path where the vob file are ... thats my problem with acidrip
[06:06] <vox754> Seveas, what's with the ops today, it's the first time I see everybody in here,... Somebody told me Seveas was a bot.
[06:07] <cables> Thug-N-Me, that's 'cause it's not meant to be an encoding frontend for everything, just dvds
[06:07] <Thug-N-Me> cables yeah ... so thats why i asked whats the mencoder command to do that :)
[06:07] <cables> Thug-N-Me, do you want any scaling or cropping?
[06:08] <Thug-N-Me> cables dont know what to say ...  just basic xvid file

[06:21] <Seveas> !doesn't work | kuba_
[06:21] <ubotu> kuba_: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.

[06:25] <tristanmike> isn't that for Linux filesystems only ?
[06:25] <Seveas> linux_kid, good. That should hav latest ndiswrapper
[06:25] <bruenig> tristanmike, or it does need to be unmounted to scan, sorry misread you, but yeah "sudo fdisk -l" might bring it up
[06:25] <reep> tristanmike: it will just list all partitions on your harddrives
[06:25] <birdmun> tristanmike, you should also if in gui be able to hilight System > Administration > Drives

[06:27] <cellojoe> to set the root password, type    sudo passwd   in the terminal
[06:27] <Seveas> vbabiy, read what ubotu wrote
[06:27] <greg_g> sorry if this question has been asked too many times, but I hear that 7.04 beta is pretty stable, so I was just wondering what the ETA of Fiesty was

[06:27] <Seveas> cellojoe, please don't do that

[06:27] <bruenig> Shaffox, ah, I didn't really read what you were asking
[06:27] <Seveas> cellojoe, rather point to documentation on why it's this way
[06:27] <famir>  help !!!!! hi , my system keeps restarting every few hours any idea why ? (i have IBM T60)
[06:27] <Firefoxman> Are there any good drivers for canoscan scanners? I cannot find any on the companies site

[06:28] <Gog123> Todays fire resulted in the fourth unplanned shutdown of Indian Point Unit 3 since July. This constant stream of problems simply does not square with the insistence of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Entergy that an Independent Safety Assessment is not needed at Indian Point. The best way forward would be for both Entergy and the NRC to embrace an Independent Safety Assessment but in the absence of such
[06:28] <Gog123>  a commitment, I will continue to press for action on my legislation to require an ISA.

[06:30] <don_jr__> shane634 yes I'm at that now.  I can get on in a terminal.  Reep I'll try nv, havn't done that yet, vesa didn't work, or maybe I goofed up other settings??

[06:31] <jhaig> I installed kubuntu-desktop just out of curiosity.  Now, it appears to have changes some of my defaults (eg, using Amarok instead of Totem).  Is there a way to switch everything back to the ubuntu defaults?
[06:31] <ChrisF-> if I do a brand new install of 6.10 and then do apt-get dist-upgrade, will it put me on 7.x?
[06:31] <shane634> don_jr__, nv or vesa should work for ya.. sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:31] <ChrisF-> reason I ask... when I install 7.x, my wireless card doesn't wrok
[06:31] <cellojoe> ChrisF-: don't think so. Feisty isn't final yet
[06:31] <opopanax> chrisf, are you using madwifi?

[06:31] <don_jr__> shane634 I'll try that in a moment, I'm rebooting now after trying the nv drivers
[06:31] <ChrisF-> I'm just using the built-in wifi
[06:31] <nads--> opopanax, no... but i was thinking i could use the cdrom to boot with, and then load some ISO file from one of the HDDs... is it possible?
[06:31] <ChrisF-> and even that is a pain
[06:32] <WaxyFresh> is there a forum for apt/apt-get/etc?

[06:32] <DPic> Will there be another releace cendidate before the 7.04 final release?
[06:32] <shane634> compilerwriter1, lspci lists your card and chipset
[06:32] <El_Burro> when i boot ubuntu from grub i get two error messages very briefly before it loads up and works normally, is there a way to view these messages?
[06:32] <bruenig> DPic, yeah I think it is a week before, at least usually it is

[06:33] <kuba_> i'm  just starting with Linux (don't be angry for my question:)-what i have to type in terminal if i want to reinstall something?
[06:34] <shane634> don_jr__, i need to see your xorg.conf file
[06:34] <Seveas> !nvidia | ChrisF-
[06:34] <ubotu> ChrisF-: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:34] <reep> don_jr__: see if you can find some good reason for it to fail
[06:34] <opopanax> !language | yerself.  I'm sorry if i offended
[06:34] <ubotu> yerself.  I'm sorry if i offended: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[06:34] <phr0z3n> kuba_, sudo apt-get install
[06:34] <Luiskis> fi
[06:34] <reep> don_jr__: the lines would probably start with (EE)
[06:34] <gnychis> i just installed 6.10 and overnight let updates propagate, i'm now trying to get my wireless and WPA2 to work, in XP it was working (so i know my card is wpa2 compatible), i used the network settings manager to insert the network name and key... but how do i enable the wireless now and connect?
[06:34] <compilerwriter1> kuba_ apt-get install whatever package.
[06:34] <ChrisF-> thanks
[06:34] <sogen> where firefox save cookies ?
[06:34] <Shaffox> anyone an idea for seeing your external ip-address ? (with a command in your terminal)
[06:34] <ChrisF-> gnychis: I have the same question
[06:34] <Desmaano> when i try to acces my ubuntu system from a windows system it asks for username and password, and when i use the same as durin logon it doesnt work
[06:34] <nads--> opopanax, i have a live cd (7.04 beta).... what can i do with it?
[06:34] <WaxyFresh> can i use apt-get to reinstall apt-get/apt/aptitude?
[06:35] <aoirthoir> gnychis: try network-manager
[06:35] <kbrosnan_> sogen: in firefox's profile folder, ~/.mozilla/firefox
[06:35] <gnychis> ChrisF-: must...find...answers....
[06:35] <ChrisF-> :)
[06:35] <sogen> kbrosnan_: i dont see that folder :(
[06:35] <kuba_> compilerwriter1 no no-my mistake:) - i want to uninstall...
[06:35] <aoirthoir> gnychis: there are lots of ways to enable wireless in ubuntu.. but the easiest is with the gnome network manager.. it makes wireless almost automatic
[06:35] <don_jr__> reep I'll get those lines in a moment shane634 I'm going to put my xorg.conf file in the private tab so you can see it
[06:35] <kbrosnan_> sogen: folders that start with . are hidden by default
[06:35] <compilerwriter1> kuba apt-get remove then
[06:35] <ChrisF-> aoirthoir: I'm having the problem he is...
[06:35] <shane634> don_jr__, ok
[06:36] <aoirthoir> gnychis: go here for info http://www.ubuntuguide.org/
[06:36] <ChrisF-> you type in your wep key and it just doesn't work
[06:36] <opopanax> nads:  if you have a cdrom, use that to install.  I don't get what you're trying to do.  there's no practical way to boot  a cd image from a hard drive.
[06:36] <sogen> kbrosnan_: how i can see them ?
[06:36] <kuba_> compilerwriter1: ok thank you
[06:36] <gnychis> aoirthoir: thanks man
[06:36] <birdmun> Desmaano, you need to set the username/password with something like smbpword ... i dont remember exact command tho
[06:36] <aoirthoir> ChrisF-: ChrisF- you might need to change the settings...
[06:36] <shawnr> My system keeps randomly locking up, everything just freezes, can't move mouse and keyboard doesn't work. can't switch to terminals, ctrl+alt+back does nothing, [edgy]  anyone have any ideas?
[06:36] <don_jr__> shane634 is ther specific lines your are looking for or do you want the entire file?
[06:36] <shane634> don_jr__, the whole thing
[06:36] <aoirthoir> ChrisF-: some hardware isnt supported yet..so sometimes wap works and sometimes wep..
[06:36] <linux_kid> How do I get JavaRE to work in Mozilla Firefox
[06:36] <shane634> don_jr__, ati or nvidia card?

[06:37] <shane634> don_jr__, pastebin it man
[06:37] <birdmun> nads--, I have read somewhere I believe that you might be able to do a nfs install with ubuntu
[06:37] <shane634> !paste
[06:37] <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)
[06:37] <don_jr__> and I have to type it in maually, bear with me
[06:37] <aoirthoir> busfahrer: kind of like files that are there but not linked to what they are actually are
[06:37] <greg_g> shawnr: recent install or have you been using edgy for a while (over a week)
[06:37] <WaxyFresh> i have a usb drive can i download a ubuntu iso then copy it to the usb then boot install from it?
[06:37] <ChrisF-> anybody have a suggestion on a good ubuntu theme?  I really dislike the orangy brown
[06:38] <don_jr__> shane634 my laptop here is what I'm on, it runs, how do I pastebin from console only on my pc?  I can get on irssi if I need to, but don't have web access on that box

[06:38] <Firefoxman> ARE there any good drivers for canoscan scanners? I cannot find any on the companies site
[06:38] <don_jr__> reep how?
[06:38] <shawnr> greg_g, just started doing this today
[06:38] <Desmaano> :(
[06:38] <nomin> what can I use to control the mouse with a gamepad?
[06:38] <shane634> don_jr__, ok let me see it all if you have the time then
[06:38] <nomin> or joystick
[06:38] <aoirthoir> ChrisF-: you can install any background image you want.
[06:38] <Firefoxman> Are there any good drivers for canoscan scanners? I cannot find any on the companies site
[06:38] <busfahrer> aoirthoir: cheers

[06:38] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about smbpasswd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:39] <aoirthoir> ChrisF-: i am running beryl much of the time (not always since it is experimental)..so you have more choices with that
[06:39] <greg_g> shwanr: and it just locks up after boot?
[06:39] <ChrisF-> but I want to change the look of the windows themseves...
[06:39] <reep> don_jr__: do you have an ssh-server on any of them?
[06:39] <Thug-N-Me> anyone please point me into right direction with some useful links to be able to convert vob files from my hard disk to xvid ?
[06:39] <compilerwriter1> shane634 Any luck with whatever you are searching.
[06:39] <flyinggreg> greetings folks - I was wondering if anyone has heard the official date for feisty?
[06:39] <aoirthoir> compilerwriter1: any chance of writing a cobol compiler?
[06:39] <shane634> compilerwriter1, not yet hang in there
[06:39] <ctothej> what should my fstab entries be for mounting an external usb drive with 2 partitions: 1 fat32 and 1 ext3, for all users as rw?
[06:39] <shawnr> greg_g, no random times
[06:39] <birdmun> Firefoxman, have you looked at the sane website?
[06:39] <greg_g> from the ubuntu+1 channel: Release date is the week of April 19
[06:40] <shawnr> greg_g, once when logging into another user
[06:40] <compilerwriter1> aoirthoir: my days of compiler writing are long over.
[06:40] <aoirthoir> ctothej: you shouldnt need to do anything to fstab as ubuntu will automatically load it
[06:40] <flyinggreg> thanks greg_g
[06:40] <shawnr> greg_g, once when trying to connect ot my wireless with wifiradar
[06:40] <aoirthoir> compilerwriter1: I weep then. All the GNU compilers that are open are actually c preprocessors
[06:40] <don_jr__> reep I don't know
[06:41] <reep> ok, just install the openssh-server on the machine with the problems
[06:41] <compilerwriter1> aoirthoir:  I actually never did any real compiler writing.  I got that handle from people who figured that is how I would branch out in cs while in school.
[06:41] <ctothej> aoirthoir: i wanted to change the mount location so the name is more descriptive instead of usbdisk and usbdisk-1.
[06:41] <compilerwriter1> aoirthoir: I have used it lo these many years since.
[06:41] <reep> don_jr__: then on the other machine, type: scp username@brokenbox.hostname:/etc/X11/xorg.conf .
[06:41] <birdmun> Desmaano, the command is smbpasswd
[06:41] <sogen> kbrosnan_: i dont see cookies there :(
[06:42] <trentster> How do I bring up an ethernet interface without binding and ip and without using dhcp, eg if i type ifconfig i want to see eth0 eth1 eth2 in the list but no ips assigned?
[06:42] <Desmaano> birdmum: thanks but whats the default password? and what username do i use ??
[06:42] <birdmun> Desmaano, if you search for linux and samba you should run across a couple useful howtos
[06:42] <mfi_> Have any of you installed Ubuntu on PS3 yet?
[06:42] <Firefoxman> birdmun: Yes. Nothing there.
[06:43] <neilthereildeil> hey all
[06:43] <neilthereildeil> how can i uninstall java?
[06:43] <sogen> Firefoxman: where firefox save cookies?
[06:43] <don_jr__> reep what's the hostename?
[06:43] <greg_g> neilthereildeil: did you use synaptic to install it?
[06:44] <neilthereildeil> greg_g: it came with ubuntu
[06:44] <birdmun> Desmaano, the command is smbpassword username where username is the well username and then you will be prompted for a password to be set
[06:44] <neilthereildeil> how can i uninstall via command ine?
[06:44] <reep> don_jr__: hm... considering your setup, it probably doesn't have a hostname, so you use the ip
[06:44] <neilthereildeil> line*
[06:44] <reep> username@192.168.1.??:/etc/X...
[06:44] <Firefoxman> sogen: In the cookie file. Ask in #firefox.
[06:44] <birdmun> Firefoxman, as I recall canoscans werent well supported which is why I purchased an epson
[06:45] <mfi_> No love....
[06:45] <jin> :S gaim is taking more than 1 minute to open :(
[06:45] <aoirthoir> compilerwriter1: ah gotcha bra. Still a cobol compiler would be nice:)
[06:45] <don_jr__> reep okay, I'll try it
[06:45] <aoirthoir> ctothej: ok i gotcha. Since the usb load has been automatic for me..ive never tried fstab
[06:45] <neilthereildeil> how can i uninstall programs via the command line
[06:45] <trentster> How do I bring up an ethernet interface without binding and ip and without using dhcp, eg if i type ifconfig i want to see eth0 eth1 eth2 in the list but no ips assigned?
[06:46] <bruenig> neilthereildeil, sudo apt-get remove program
[06:46] <greg_g> neilthereildeil: well, apt-get remove "package name"
[06:46] <aoirthoir> apt-get --help neilthereildeil
[06:46] <webmaren> Does anybody know why my flash plugin on AMD64 might just randomly stop working
[06:46] <webmaren> up until like a week ago, it worked fine
[06:46] <neilthereildeil> what if i need to find the package name
[06:46] <FrOstiE> http://louiscandell.com/ps3/images <<------ ps3
[06:46] <webmaren> and now I can't use youtube and such, but I can still play games
[06:46] <bruenig> neilthereildeil, what program are you trying to remove
[06:46] <ctothej> aoirthoir: ok
[06:46] <neilthereildeil> java
[06:47] <birdmun> Firefoxman, what canoscan scanner?
[06:47] <neilthereildeil> i need to figure out the java package name
[06:47] <reep> trentster: ifconfig -a will list all interfaces even if they're not configured
[06:47] <bruenig> neilthereildeil, you can use dpkg -l, in this case "dpkg -l *java*"
[06:48] <greg_g> it is probably sun-java6-*
[06:48] <trentster> reep, yes I know, but i want them up, so they show up if i do just a plain ifconfig...
[06:48] <greg_g> or sun-java5-*
[06:48] <neilthereildeil> is there a way i can do it through apt?
[06:48] <bruenig> neilthereildeil, search for the package name or remove it?
[06:48] <LordLimecat> if anyone still remembers that issue with gnome i had earlier, its occurring in XFCE as well
[06:48] <greg_g> but in my list there are other programs with java in the name, like the JRE
[06:48] <don_jr__> reep 'cp cannot stat don@dads.192.168.1.77
[06:48] <LordLimecat> KDE is all thats useable
[06:49] <neilthereildeil> search
[06:49] <reep> trentster: then sudo ifconfig eth0 up for instance
[06:49] <Ash-Fox> !apt-proxy
[06:49] <ubotu> apt-proxy is a program that acts as a local apt repository server for a LAN, only fetching from the internet when required. To set it up see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptProxy
[06:49] <lvalue> hi, does atheros AR5006EG wireless card work with ubuntu?
[06:49] <TheShizz> howdy. anyone feel like taking a stab at my issue?
[06:49] <bruenig> greg_g, well the idea is to list the packages, and then have you pick the right onw
[06:49] <bruenig> one8
[06:49] <Desmaano> it worked :DDD
[06:49] <kuba_> hey again.what i have to type to check if if have for example gcc installed?
[06:49] <birdmun> XFCE uses/allows usage of gnome yes?
[06:49] <vox754> neilthereildeil, "aptitude search <package>"  "aptitude show <package>"  "man aptitude"  "man apt-get" "man apt-cache" is all info you need
[06:49] <reep> don_jr__: scp don@192.168.1.77:/etc/X11/xorg.conf .
[06:49] <greg_g> bruenig:  yeah
[06:49] <atoponce> TheShizz: what's your issue?
[06:49] <kbrooks> Where can I get more Kubuntu cds?
[06:49] <bruenig> kuba_, "which gcc" will probably do
[06:49] <Desmaano> i did $ sudo smbpasswd -a <username>
[06:50] <trentster> reep, gives an error....unless i specify an ip address in /etc/network/interfaces it wont come up.
[06:50] <frandavid100> hiya! I'm trying to install this RB plugin: http://usrportage.de/archives/763-the-last-rhythm-for-me.html
[06:50] <TheShizz> simple i'm sure. Just installed system and i'm having windows drag and bobble when I move them. I know its the vid driver but I cannot figure how to install one
[06:50] <vox754> kuba_, "aptitude search <package>"  "aptitude show <package>"  "man aptitude"  "man apt-get" "man apt-cache" is all info you need
[06:50] <bruenig> or you could do dpkg --get-selections | grep gcc
[06:50] <reep> trentster: hm... then I don't know if it's possible really...
[06:50] <nomin> is there a way to control the moust using a joystick?
[06:50] <bruenig> dpkg and apt have so many redundant abilities
[06:50] <frandavid100> says it needs python-elementtree to work, but I installed python-elementtree and it still doesn't run
[06:50] <nomin> *is there a way to control the mouse using a joystick?
[06:50] <atoponce> TheShizz: i don't know what you're saying. the windows drag and bobble when you move them?
[06:51] <frandavid100> could someone give it a try for me?
[06:51] <TheShizz> the video driver is not installed yet. so when I move windows around they are slow and choppy.
[06:51] <TheShizz> not smooth
[06:51] <don_jr__> still saying cannot stat
[06:51] <atoponce> TheShizz: oh. i see. what video card do you have? what are you system specs?
[06:51] <bruenig> !nv | TheShizz
[06:51] <ubotu> TheShizz: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:52] <vox754> !info python-elementtree
[06:52] <ubotu> python-elementtree: Light-weight toolkit for XML processing. In component main, is optional. Version 1.2.6-10ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 29 kB, installed size 188 kB
[06:52] <TheShizz> i downloaded the correct driver. but it says I cannot .... lemme check that page. its an nvidia
[06:52] <Firefoxman> how can I find out the /dev path of /media/disk???????
[06:52] <atoponce> TheShizz: what version of ubuntu?
[06:52] <TheShizz> how do I find that. I'm sorry. very new
[06:52] <LordLimecat> TheShizz: does it say it cant install while X is running?
[06:52] <bruenig> Firefoxman, you mean what dev is mounted there?
[06:52] <birdmun> Firefoxman, cat /etc/mtab
[06:52] <TheShizz> it said..
[06:52] <TheShizz> let me try again
[06:52] <atoponce> TheShizz: System -> About Ubuntu
[06:52] <TheShizz> and i'll tell you
[06:52] <birdmun> Firefoxman, or cat /etc/fstab
[06:53] <TheShizz> 6.10
[06:53] <Firefoxman> birdmun: Thanks. That worked!
[06:53] <bruenig> /etc/mtab would be the better solution
[06:53] <atoponce> TheShizz: ok. that's edgy eft. what are your system specs?
[06:53] <reep> don_jr__: it's important that you use the correct symbols... username@ip:path
[06:53] <don_jr__> reep still tellsme I cannot stat that coputer
[06:53] <birdmun> bruenig, only as long as something is mounted at the time :)
[06:54] <LordLimecat> TheShizz: theres a good chance it needs to be run from console
[06:54] <reep> don_jr__: are you sure 192.168.1.77 is the correct ip?
[06:54] <bruenig> birdmun, well /etc/fstab could potentially not be set up as you can manually mount stuff, but then I suppose he would probably have none the dev name right
[06:54] <bruenig> known*
[06:54] <birdmun> logical :)
[06:54] <DaveG|> anyone know where i can get libffmpeg-devel for ubuntu?
[06:54] <TheShizz> how do I find system specs here?
[06:55] <eLtran> hello
[06:55] <linukse> rezosup/
[06:55] <Hoxx> is it true i can install kde on ubuntu too? can i install through synaptic?
[06:55] <LordLimecat> TheShizz: do you have a dell?
[06:55] <atoponce> TheShizz: don't you know what type of computer you're running it on?
[06:55] <TheShizz> i've played with this for years but never completely moved. I deleted windows entirely so I have to convert
[06:55] <TheShizz> I built it
[06:55] <TheShizz> its a this and that box
[06:55] <birdmun> TheShizz, are you running gui?
[06:55] <TheShizz> yes
[06:55] <eLtran> I have staroffice and I'd like to run a mailing by fax, I mean send fax to a lot of telephone numbers
[06:55] <reep> don_jr__: another thing you could try is ssh username@ip
[06:55] <don_jr__> reep yes I ran ifconfig on that box to make sure
[06:55] <DaveG|> Hoxx yeah you can have kde and gnome at the same time
[06:55] <LordLimecat> do you know what the CPU, and video card are?
[06:55] <Taschemann> wtb svds
[06:55] <eLtran> what can I do ?
[06:55] <atoponce> TheShizz: ok. so, what procssor, ram, video card, etc did you put into the box?
[06:56] <TheShizz> k
[06:56] <reep> don_jr__: it should give you a login shell on the box. Then you can type cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf and paste from there
[06:56] <compilerwriter> eLtran:  I hope you aren't about to spam people :-)
[06:56] <Hoxx> DaveG|: i can install it through synaptic then?
[06:56] <birdmun> TheShizz, system > administrator > devices
[06:56] <TheShizz> board is a gigabyte
[06:56] <eLtran> compilerwriter : LOL no, don't worry
[06:56] <nomin> aren't there any ubuntu users that want mouse emulation for a joystick?
[06:56] <DaveG|> Hoxx yep
[06:56] <TheShizz> chip is 64 bit 939 pin amd
[06:56] <TheShizz> 2 gig ram
[06:56] <eLtran> I don't spend money to spam them, I need some clients
[06:56] <tato_> Hello, someone knows a reason for the Device Managar to show "Impossible with fglrx", I have a Mobilty Radeon 9600, and Ubuntu thinks it a 7xxx, is that why it wont let me use fglrx as the video driver?
[06:56] <TheShizz> vid card is geforce 6600
[06:56] <Shadow_X> sup peeps

[06:58] <Hoxx> sweet
[06:58] <reep> don_jr__: then the ssh server doesn't seem to be running
[06:58] <TheShizz> I downloaded one but I couldn't figure out how to get it goin. I'll read that.
[06:58] <TheShizz> ty
[06:58] <LordLimecat> TheShizz: you got it from nvidia site?
[06:58] <atoponce> LordLimecat: well, he can edit his /etc/X11/xorg.conf from anything, then restart X
[06:58] <TheShizz> yes
[06:58] <DaveG|> Hoxx you can just type this in console thought sudo apt-get install kde
[06:58] <atoponce> oh. i see
[06:58] <DaveG|> though*
[06:58] <LordLimecat> atoponce: the nvidia distributed driver installer needs to be run from console
[06:58] <trentster> where do i put a script tht i want run at boot time?
[06:58] <atoponce> TheShizz: in that case, i can't help you much
[06:58] <LordLimecat> x HAS to be terminated
[06:58] <LordLimecat> other than that, you run the .run file and it installs
[06:58] <don_jr__> reep ok
[06:59] <neilthereildeil> which pakage should i uninstall?
[06:59] <Hoxx> DaveG|:  ok tnx
[06:59] <don_jr__> I'm almost done typing this anyways
[06:59] <atoponce> LordLimecat: yeah. makes more sense now. he wasn't exactly clear on what he was trying to do
[06:59] <neilthereildeil> to uninstall javaa?
[06:59] <LordLimecat> TheShizz: how comfortable are you with console?
[06:59] <Desmaano> guys; i cant read or write to my shared files ? why not ?:(
[06:59] <Desmaano> shared folders*
[06:59] <Doctordoog> my music CDs aren't being mounted, but data CDs mount fine.
[06:59] <vali> hey guys I have problems with beryl+xgl+ATI radeon 9200 - it crashes as soon as I try to move a window (wobbly windows) - does anybody know about hits?
[06:59] <reep> Desmaano: is it your new raid?
[06:59] <vali> hits=this
[06:59] <TheShizz> i went to console and it gave me an error when I ran sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-9755-pkg2.run
[06:59] <Doctordoog> what would the command be to mount my CD
[06:59] <reep> Desmaano: unless you've changed the permissions, only root will have write access...
[06:59] <TheShizz> not familiar with anything here so its not a matter of comfort. more need
[06:59] <tato_> I have a Mobilty Radeon 9600, and Ubuntu thinks it a 7xxx, is that why it wont let me use fglrx as the video driver?
[06:59] <Hoxx> are the most using xchat? i dont like it that much, is there another, better?
[07:00] <LordLimecat> TheShizz: it IS worth learnign tho
[07:00] <neilthereildeil> htey have like 200 packages nstalled
[07:00] <kbrooks> http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/references/ruby/doc_bundle/Newcomers/ruby.html # i love this!
[07:00] <LordLimecat> lemme privmsg you, itll be easier
[07:00] <birdmun> nvidia site tells you how to install the driver ... i believe its just chmod +x nvid*.run and then ./sh nvid*.run and go along on a ride
[07:00] <atoponce> TheShizz: what was the error? and are you in the gui running it from the terminal?
[07:00] <TheShizz> yes
[07:00] <birdmun> i have done it a couple times now
[07:00] <TheShizz> gui running from term
[07:00] <Hoxx> biggest problem are the colors imo, its a jungle :D
[07:00] <LordLimecat> birdmun: he also has to run it from another console
[07:00] <LordLimecat> X cant be running
[07:00] <nomin> neilthereildeil: I have sun-java5-jre
[07:00] <LordLimecat> or it does generate an error
[07:00] <TheShizz> dont know how to boot into anything else with this ubuntu
[07:00] <atoponce> TheShizz: you need to be out of X
[07:00] <TheShizz> redhat always let me
[07:00] <DaveG|> Hoxx there are different things look in the add/remove programs thing in the apps menu
[07:00] <birdmun> LordLimecat, I agree it tells you that X has to stop
[07:00] <atoponce> TheShizz: logout, and chage your session to run failsafe terminal
[07:00] <eLtran> does anyone know how to do a fax mailing with staroffice ?
[07:00] <TheShizz> thats what that is
[07:01] <TheShizz> lol
[07:01] <LordLimecat> :) its been a while, didnt remember if it told you to stop it
[07:01] <TheShizz> can I keep this session open and come back or do I need to find all this again when I return?
[07:01] <reep> Desmaano: sudo chown $USER /mount/point should give your user write access
[07:01] <Thug-N-Me> does anyone know why  mencoder -vf harddup -vf-add smartblur=.6:-.5:0,unsharp=l5x5:.8:c5x5:.4 -xvidencopts fixed_quant=4:profile=dxnhtntsc -lameopts cbr:br=128:aq=0:vol=1 -oac mp3lame -ovc xvid VTS_01_0.VOB -o outfile.avi   only give me a 1 mb output file ?
[07:01] <LordLimecat> TheShizz:  when you enter the X stop command (whatever it is) your desktop WILL disappear
[07:01] <bruenig> mencoder makes my head hurt
[07:01] <warren_> can anyone help me get open gl working in feisty... I have an nvidia tnt2 card, installed the driver, but the "restricted driver manager" says "needs computer restart" even though I have restarted several times
[07:01] <shawnr> my wifi works, but everytime i sign in, i have to lauch wifiradar and tell it to connect
[07:01] <Desmaano> reep: not yet a raid but i need the diskspace now :P cant wait for the raid at the moment
[07:01] <LordLimecat> you're gonna have to navigate to where the installer is by commandline, and run it from there
[07:01] <greg_g> eLtran: I'm not saying that we don't know (I don't know though) but you would probably have better luck finding the information you need in a staroffice forum
[07:01] <Doctordoog> what is the proper command to mount a CD
[07:01] <shawnr> can i get it to connect automatically?
[07:02] <eLtran> ok, i'll try, thanks greg_g
[07:02] <LordLimecat> afterwords, desktop will come back up.  It will also do all xorg.conf edits that you need for beryl
[07:02] <nomin> neilthereildeil: type 'sun-java' into synaptic and look to see what is installed.  Then uninstall those.  I think that should do it.
[07:02] <bruenig> Doctordoog, sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/whatever /mount/point
[07:02] <compilerwriter> !ndiswrappers
[07:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ndiswrappers - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:02] <cellojoe> !ndiswrapper
[07:02] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[07:02] <shawnr> !ndiswrapper
[07:02] <bigjohnto> anyone here use ipf? packet filtering?
[07:02] <birdmun> Doctordoog, probably something like mount /media/cdrom or /media/cdrom0
[07:02] <Desmaano> reep: error: no such file or directory
[07:03] <bruenig> you don't mount mount points
[07:03] <nomin> neilthereildeil: I also have j2re 1.4
[07:03] <birdmun> should be able to though
[07:03] <reep> Desmaano: switch /mount/point with the actually mount point ;)
[07:03] <bruenig> I don't think so
[07:03] <Spee_Der> Any suggestions on how to enter the BIOS setup for an Compaq Armada 4160T laptop. I can not locate the correct software to allow me so I can change the start from CD.
[07:03] <birdmun> right?
[07:03] <reep> Desmaano: I think you changed it from /media/disk1 to something else?
[07:03] <neilthereildeil> i need jdk5 update 10 for class
[07:03] <Desmaano> no its /media/disk1
[07:03] <LordLimecat> Spee_Der: it has to be done as comp boots, i can see if i can find out what key you press
[07:04] <bruenig> you mount devices to mount points, you don't mount mount points, maybe fstab and mount are sophisticated enough to correct "mount /mount/point" but by default that should not work
[07:04] <Spee_Der> It's F-10. Normally.
[07:04] <Spee_Der> Hello Lord. And thanks.
[07:04] <reep> Desmaano: ok, sudo chown $USER /media/disk1
[07:04] <birdmun> bruenig, my bad
[07:04] <Spee_Der> I need to aquire the setup disk unfortunately.
[07:04] <nomin> neilthereildeil: I'm using dapper and I have the option to install jdk5 right now.
[07:04] <LordLimecat> spee_der: try f10 as computer boots
[07:04] <reep> Desmaano: echo test >/media/disk1/test
[07:05] <LordLimecat> other keys to try are f1, del, f12, and tab (this may bring up the boot process, which can show the proper key)
[07:05] <vbabiy_> hey guys where can i get nvida drivers
[07:05] <Desmaano> reep: no echo ?
[07:05] <bruenig> !ati | vbabiy
[07:05] <ubotu> vbabiy: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:05] <don_jr__> shane634 the entire xorg.conf file is now in the private message tab! =)
[07:05] <Spee_Der> LordLimecat, F-10 not working as the previous owner re-formatted the HD and that partition does not exist. I need to locate a start-up disk somehow.
[07:05] <vbabiy_> thanks
[07:05] <LordLimecat> ah
[07:05] <birdmun> from what i just read on a forum F10 is the key as long as the proper partition is on the hard drive
[07:05] <Desmaano> reep: a file test is created..
[07:05] <Spee_Der> LordLimecat, I have even tried the older debug method, to no avail.
[07:05] <LordLimecat> what kind of bios utility is THAT >:(
[07:05] <bruenig> !envy | vbabiy you may also try this, seems to be popular
[07:05] <ubotu> vbabiy you may also try this, seems to be popular: 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
[07:06] <reep> Desmaano: yes, and it contains the string "test" ;)
[07:06] <reep> Desmaano: means you got write access now
[07:06] <linuxgeekery-> JOIN #ubuntu-marketing
[07:06] <Spee_Der> LordLimecat, dunn'o as I can not get to that ifos.
[07:06] <Doctordoog> when I try mount /media/cdrom (which is the right drive) it says wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc
[07:06] <Spee_Der> Info that is.
[07:06] <Doctordoog> is this because it's a music CD? is there a different way to mount music?
[07:06] <WhoKnows> How can I modify the "gpo_hilo" for speedstep_smi
[07:06] <aaroncampbell> what package gives me mod_rewrite for apache2?
[07:06] <Desmaano> reep: the folder 'lost+found' cant be accessed or deleted??
[07:06] <Spee_Der> LordLimecat, I really would love to get Ubuntu on that little box too.
[07:07] <reep> Desmaano: you should leave that one alone, the filesystem uses it in case of filesystemerrors
[07:08] <Doctordoog> is there some alternate way to mount a music CD, since it says it's got a wrong FS type
[07:08] <neilthereildeil> whats gij?
[07:08] <Spee_Der> LordLimecat, I am also looking about for aonother cmos battery as the one supplied is kaput.... lol.
[07:08] <Desmaano> reep: ok i leave it
[07:08] <greg_g> neilthereildeil: it is a just-in-time compiler environment I believe
[07:08] <Desmaano> reep: how do i create folders with ubuntu ?
[07:08] <reep> neilthereildeil: GNU Java bytecode interpreter
[07:09] <greg_g> or that
[07:09] <vbabiy_> #In the Software Preferences dialog that comes up, click the Add button. -> does this mean third party
[07:09] <reep> Desmaano: "just like in windows!
[07:09] <don_jr__> Here is the paste bin for my xorg.conf file for anyone else interested in trying to figure out why X wont' start forme: http://pastebin.ca/428536  It is typed in so bear with me
[07:09] <reep> s/!/"/
[07:09] <neilthereildeil> can i remove it?
[07:10] <greg_g> I thought you said you wanted to install a new version of java
[07:10] <Desmaano> reep: sorry the option create folder, is grey/disabled :(
[07:10] <birdmun> Spee_Der, http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DriverDownload.jsp?&lang=en&cc=us&pnameOID=96644&taskId=135&prodTypeId=321957&prodSeriesId=96224&lang=en&cc=us
[07:10] <greg_g> or maybe I am confused
[07:10] <neilthereildeil> all i want is the sun jvm/jdk
[07:10] <cellojoe> birdmun: !tinyurl
[07:10] <Puppy__> does anyone else use Opera web browser? When I used my windows as my main computer, I liked Opera because of the voice feature.  But in the Linux addition of Opera you can't use voice. does anyone have any alternatives for the hole computer or web browser ?
[07:10] <Spee_Der> birdmun, thanks, am lookiing now.....
[07:10] <TheShizz> Okay. I got into that console failsafe dealy
[07:10] <Doctordoog> I get an error when trying to mount music CDs, it's only for music CDs. is there some alternate way for mounting music CDs?
[07:11] <reep> Desmaano: hm... right click and select properties, and then look at the permission tab
[07:11] <TheShizz> and it told me I need to be logged in as root
[07:11] <arooni> which is the best winamp clone for ubuntu 6.10+
[07:11] <TheShizz> but it will not let me log into root as i'm not sure how
[07:11] <LordLimecat> TheShizz: try sudo [command] 
[07:11] <Doctordoog> arooni: I'm content with XMMS
[07:11] <greg_g> arooni: if all you want is winamp clone, xmms
[07:11] <nomin> neilthereildeil:  is the version of jdk you need different from the one available in synaptic?
[07:11] <LordLimecat> wehn it asks for password, give your login password
[07:11] <TheShizz> instead of sh?
[07:11] <Desmaano> reep: permissions root :(
[07:11] <neilthereildeil> ya
[07:11] <Spee_Der> birdmun, Thanks! Looks promising....
[07:11] <Desmaano> i mean owner: root
[07:11] <LordLimecat> TheShizz: no, the command would be "sudo sh [whatever] "
[07:11] <vbabiy_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia#head-c7e4a572c882d0ce742ab2d2243e594b842fdad0
[07:11] <TheShizz> 10-4
[07:11] <LordLimecat> !sudo>TheShizz
[07:12] <vbabiy_> can some one help me with that
[07:12] <LordLimecat> !sudo | TheShizz
[07:12] <ubotu> TheShizz: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[07:12] <nomin> neilthereildeil: did you already try the jdk available with synaptic?
[07:12] <vbabiy_> i can find the software preferences
[07:12] <neilthereildeil> ya
[07:12] <vbabiy_> i cant
[07:12] <LordLimecat> :) does that help?
[07:12] <nomin> neilthereildeil: did you update synaptic after installing jdk?
[07:12] <reep> Desmaano: sudo nautilus /media/disk1
[07:12] <neilthereildeil> i didnt install jdk yet
[07:12] <Desmaano> reep: found it :)
[07:12] <don_jr__> shane634 you still there? =)
[07:13] <neilthereildeil> i jus removed a few javapackages
[07:13] <neilthereildeil> such as common, runtime and compiler
[07:13] <Desmaano> change permission options, in properties
[07:13] <arooni> Doctordoog: how do i tell ubuntu to always use xmms as my music player (for streaming files, mp3s etc...)?  (right now it opens mplayer plugin in my browser by default
[07:13] <compilerwriter> !depmod |compilerwriter
[07:13] <pr3d4t0r> Greetings.
[07:13] <LordLimecat> arooni: rightclick the file in question, go to properties
[07:13] <LordLimecat> in there you can select the default program for that filetype
[07:13] <don_jr__> Can anyone tell me how to get the nvidia drivers from console?
[07:14] <bruenig> arooni, you are talking about stuff embedded in webpages
[07:14] <vbabiy_> !nvidia
[07:14] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:14] <LordLimecat> don_jr_: are you in console now?
[07:14] <TheShizz> you appear to be running an X server. Exit X before installing
[07:14] <Doctordoog> is there a separate filesystem for music CDs that I need to specify when mounting them
[07:14] <don_jr__> vbabiy that site only tells me how to get to it from X
[07:14] <arooni> bruenig: well im talking about a m3u playlist
[07:14] <bruenig> Doctordoog, iso9600
[07:14] <Desmaano> omg, no directory listing from another system :((
[07:14] <TheShizz> that was done with the sudo
[07:14] <Puppy__> does anyone know a web browser or ubuntu program were you can highlight something and it will say it? I liked this feature in Opera's windows addition.
[07:14] <bruenig> Doctordoog, iso9660
[07:14] <LordLimecat> TheShizz: one second
[07:14] <don_jr__> LordLimecat yes I only have console on the PC with the nvidia card
[07:15] <Doctordoog> bruenig: it tells me wrong FS type when I try that
[07:15] <arooni> LordLimecat: is there like a 'file associatgons' control paenl or something so i can see all the file extensions and their associated programs?
[07:15] <neilthereildeil> what should i uninstall?
[07:15] <pr3d4t0r> Q. How do you start VNC server on Kubuntu if the server is headless?  I tried the standard vncserver command from the console but it aborts after a few seconds; it tries to bind to port 5901 and then it dies.  Thanks in advance.
[07:15] <bruenig> Doctordoog, the cd should mount automatically, since it didn't there is probably something wrong with it
[07:15] <gbellmann> hi everyone, need help with grub
[07:16] <Doctordoog> bruenig: I tried some other music cds, same problem. data CDs mounted fine
[07:16] <LordLimecat> TheShizz: you will need to exit all open applications
[07:16] <LordLimecat> and then kill the xserver
[07:16] <pr3d4t0r> (There seems to be a dependency on starting VNC from the GUI -- that works fine but 99% of the time these boxes will have no monitor/kbd/mouse.)
[07:16] <LordLimecat> someone here will know how to do that
[07:16] <LordLimecat> i dont know the exact command
[07:16] <LordLimecat> TheShizz: do you know how to switch to another console?
[07:17] <TheShizz> i'm very new. I think I do.
[07:17] <TheShizz> not sure though.
[07:17] <don_jr__> I just installed dapper on my desktop with the alternate CD, I have a geforce MX4000 vid card.  I cannot get X to start now and don't know how to get the nvidia drivers from console only.
[07:17] <LordLimecat> TheShizz: ctrl+shift+[f1-f7] 
[07:17] <LordLimecat> we are in f67
[07:17] <LordLimecat> f7
[07:17] <reep> don_jr__: perhaps you could give envy a go: http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[07:17] <LordLimecat> f1-f6 are consoles with NO desktop
[07:17] <MaxRandor> can anyone point me to a step by step guide which would show me how to make ubuntu pretend to be Mac OSX at the packet level so that I can fool a linux proxy server into thinking my computer is a mac and therefore authorised to access the internet
[07:17] <don_jr__> reep does envy not need X?
[07:18] <reep> don_jr__: you can run it with -t
[07:18] <LordLimecat> does anyone know the command for killing x-server?  is it sudo /etc/init.d/xorg stop?
[07:18] <nko> hi someone use Unreal tour2004? i have this problem-crash :Xlib:  extension "XiG-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD" missing on display ":0.0".
[07:18] <don_jr__> heading to the site to read up now
[07:18] <TheShizz> it does nothing from this window. Must i have term up already?
[07:18] <Derek_Russo> Hi, does anyone here have experience with ATI drivers?  I've been trying to get my video card working for a couple days now with no luck
[07:18] <LordLimecat> press ctrl+alt+f6.  To get back here, press ctrl+alt+f7
[07:19] <crazy_penguin> Hello to all!
[07:19] <TheShizz> got it
[07:19] <TheShizz> okay
[07:19] <LordLimecat> but thats not enoughj
[07:19] <TheShizz> it puts me in new window. then what?
[07:19] <LordLimecat> you will log in
[07:19] <arooni> i have a sony laptop running 6.10; when i bring my comp back from hibernation my synaptics touchpad doesnt do vertical scrolling nemore.  (i have to restart x)... ideas?
[07:19] <neilthereildeil> how can i uninstall java?
[07:19] <LordLimecat> (all this is after loggin out of graphical mode)
[07:19] <reep> LordLimecat: /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[07:19] <LordLimecat> ah
[07:19] <LordLimecat> thats it
[07:20] <gbellmann> need help with GRUB
[07:20] <hsi> (:
[07:20] <don_jr__> reep how do I get envy from console only?
[07:20] <Desmaano> linux drives me crazy :(((
[07:20] <reep> don_jr__: did you have edgy or dapper?
[07:20] <MaxRandor> neilthereildeil use synaptic and search for java and uninstal
[07:20] <nomin> neilthereildeil: I think uninstalling j2re should do it
[07:21] <LordLimecat> TheShizz: you will close all open apps on yer desktop, and put the nvidia file in yer home directory.  then you will enter log out and enter a console, and login there.  Issue the command "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop", then run the driver (sudo sh [drivername] ) and follow the prompts
[07:21] <don_jr__> reep I'm running dapper
[07:21] <nomin> MaxRandor: there's a whole lot of seperate stuff that has 'java' in it
[07:21] <LordLimecat> Finally, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[07:21] <atoponce> Desmaano: why?
[07:21] <birdmun> don_jr__, you have tried typing startx yes ... i believe i am behind on your issue
[07:21] <LordLimecat> and ctrl+alt+f7 to return to desktop[
[07:21] <LordLimecat> make sense?
[07:21] <reep> don_jr__: wget http://albertomilone.com/ubuntu/nvidia/scripts/envy_0.8.2-0ubuntu1_all.deb
[07:21] <MaxRandor> nomin I know but the right thing will be in there somewhere
[07:21] <don_jr__> birdmun no I havn't done that, cause when I restart the computer it tells me X failed to start and puts me into term mode
[07:21] <reep> don_jr__: sudo dpkg -i envy_0.8.2-0ubuntu1_all.deb
[07:22] <nomin> neilthereildeil: I think synaptic automatically updates java.  I'm guessing that it would update jdk to the version you need.
[07:22] <dinochopins> hi there
[07:22] <birdmun> don_jr__, yeah i am behind on your problems
[07:22] <reep> don_jr__: sudo envy -t
[07:22] <Desmaano> atoponce, try to setting up a little fileserver with ubuntu, but i look over thousands of little hidden settings...
[07:22] <TheShizz> okay. i'm back
[07:22] <dinochopins> I'm quite new to Ubuntu
[07:22] <LordLimecat> wont have worked, x was still running.....
[07:22] <j^> is feisty working on powerpc?
[07:22] <LordLimecat> i think
[07:22] <j^> there is no beta iso image
[07:22] <TheShizz> okay. lemme try that. thanks
[07:22] <nomin> I know that synaptic updates macromedia flash and downloads from the macomedia site.  I think it does the same with java as well.
[07:22] <dinochopins> is there any user's mail on Ubuntu when I installed Ubuntu as desktop

[07:23] <LordLimecat> you can put all of these instructions into a textfile in yer home dir, and read them from console with "cat [filename] "
[07:23] <Desmaano> fileserver, just a simple smb server for file storage

[07:23] <Henry_Bean> hi, i'm having a problem that a program cannot find a library that actually IS in /usr/lib...

[07:25] <arooni> yup that worked
[07:25] <darkdude> Hello!
[07:25] <arooni> atoponce: why do i need to do aptitude sometimes and apt-get other times?
[07:26] <nomin> dinochopins: I think you need to set up an account.
[07:26] <reep> don_jr__: did it change your xorg.conf for you?
[07:26] <atoponce> arooni: aptitude has better dependancy handling than apt-get
[07:26] <dinochopins> nomin: setup account instead root ?
[07:26] <arooni> atoponce: it aptitude a superset of apt-get
[07:26] <arooni> in terms of available software
[07:26] <nomin> dinochopins: for email.  I think ubuntu is set up to use evolution by default.
[07:26] <atoponce> arooni: it's just another apt tool
[07:26] <don_jr__> reep I'm not sure, it's still running, but it has mentioned saving a backup of xorg.conf(235634325) what ever numbers....done that a couple times.  it's still going at the moment.
[07:26] <reep> don_jr__: grep nvidia /etc/X11/xorg.conf should show Driver "nvidia" line
[07:27] <dinochopins> nomin: No.. I don't mean any Internet's email account. What I mean is internal mail for Linux's accounts
[07:27] <reep> don_jr__: ah, ok
[07:27] <don_jr__> reep will do
[07:27] <atoponce> arooni: plus, aptitude by itself, has a cli package selector, which is very nice, if behind ssh, or just in a term
[07:27] <dinochopins> nomin: in Fedora/Red Hat I have my users's mail account
[07:27] <atoponce> arooni: if you can't use synaptic, that is

[07:33] <Seveas> neilthereildeil, you're looking for the sun-java5-jdk package in synaptic :)
[07:33] <cables> annihilus, you have to move the ubuntu partition to the left, then resize it.
[07:33] <nomin> !java
[07:33] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre

[07:33] <annihilus> cables, what do you mean to the left
[07:33] <ASTX813> Whenever I reboot I have to modprobe ndiswrapper before I can use my wifi and I've done everything I did last time I set up this computer
[07:33] <nomin> dinochopins: ubuntuforums has TONS of stuff
[07:34] <whta> i'm still having a problem where my system just seems to hibernate/hang completely when i try to restart X or log out.
[07:34] <cables> annihilus, in gparted, move it to the left.
[07:34] <neilthereildeil> basically, i have the linux 5.10 bin installer
[07:34] <neilthereildeil> and i wanna install that
[07:34] <elliotjhug> XiXaQ: rdiff-backup claims to be light on the network, but it doesn't appear to be indexed on google as particularly efficient. You could try it for a while and see how light it is. Otherwise I found http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/backuptools.htm as I searched. It gives a list of a few pieces of software.
[07:34] <neilthereildeil> i need to know what to remove so nithing conflicts
[07:34] <Seveas> neilthereildeil, no you don't want to install that
[07:34] <Seveas> neilthereildeil, are you listening at all?
[07:34] <neilthereildeil> why not?
[07:34] <annihilus> cables, what part are you talking about, the block on top of down in the text fields
[07:34] <don_jr__> how do I enable repo's so it doesn't ask for the CD when I'm tryin to do stuff?
[07:35] <Seveas> bcaus you need the sun-java5-jdk package from ubuntu
[07:35] <neilthereildeil> the problem is tghat if i install it with a package manager, it will automatically update
[07:35] <neilthereildeil> and i need to stay with this version for class
[07:35] <dinochopins> nomin: thanks... will look at them right away ;)
[07:35] <cables> annihilus, the part on the top. I believe you right click on the partition and click move.
[07:35] <Seveas> neilthereildeil, so?
[07:35] <Seveas> it won't upgrade to java 6
[07:35] <lvalue> don_jr__, take a look at /etc/apt/sources.list

[07:42] <amayera> I have a question: I run a feisty here and since 2.6.20-11 it seems like the naming schemes of partitions have been changed, I find my ATA-hdd now under /dev/sda what seems quite strange to me. why is that?
[07:42] <RaverWild> hello. important question: linux newbie here and 1st time installed edgy on laptop with winXP. since when installed was at night had noone to ask and for swap file gave 5GB swap partition. coleague told me this is too much, so now how to correct this? dont want to reinstall. is it safe to boot another OS, so to resize the swap partition and boot linux again? what's the best solution?
[07:43] <Seveas> amayera, some ide drives are now driven by libpata, which uses /dev/sdX names
[07:43] <WaxyFresh> atoponce: apt-get
[07:43] <Tomcat_> RaverWild: Boot into the LiveCD, resize. It's quite easy. :)

[07:43] <Tomcat_> RaverWild: And yes, 5G is too much, except if you're a power user.
[07:44] <nomin> RaverWild: it depends on you much RAM you have.  Usually swap is 2x the size of your RAM.
[07:44] <amayera> Seveas: I see. maybe it would be a good idea to note this anywhere in the dist-upgrade process. it took me quite a time to figure this out as my /etc/fstab had no UUIDs but the normal /dev/hdaX thingy.

[07:47] <don_jr__> Why is aptitude asking for the install CD?
[07:47] <atoponce> jaytea: #ubuntu+1
[07:47] <nomin> don_jr__: you need to set up your sources.
[07:47] <don_jr__> nomin how?
[07:47] <jaytea> join #ubuntu+1
[07:48] <RaverWild> nomin: yes, coleague told me to mount /home to partition another than this used by linux itself, so i was thinking for this extra space about to have to make it another partition and have /home mounted there... what you think about this is it  a good idea?
[07:48] <linux_> hi can any one help me find my task bar?? i auto hid the thing and now cant get it back......
[07:48] <zeroflag> how advanced is NTFS access with ubuntu 7.04? is it possible to write properly without (too much) danger and ridiculously slow speeds?
[07:48] <ant-> !ntfs-3g | zeroflag
[07:48] <ubotu> zeroflag: 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.

[07:48] <nomin> don_jr__: when you install packages, the package mananger needst to know where the packages are located.  By default, ubuntu sets up synaptic to use the install cd to install packages.  You might want to remove the cd from your sources list and add internet sources.
[07:48] <zeroflag> thanks ant-.

[08:09] <neilthereildeil> curect directory
[08:09] <xtknight> Desmaano, aight i can help
[08:09] <neilthereildeil> so in this case, /home/neil
[08:09] <xtknight> well i think i can

[08:09] <Desmaano> give it a try :)
[08:09] <xtknight> Desmaano, i'm going to have to do this myself first as we go along so it might be a sec
[08:09] <scribble> xtknight: but now, after restarting. when i click the icon to connect; it says no network
[08:09] <xtknight> neilthereildeil, wait so what do you want in CLASSPATH?
[08:09] <amayera> hyper_ch: well I think it is a nice thing if police wants to see the contents of your encrypted partition and you enter the one for the fake data. so you show good will but you fool them anyway.
[08:10] <Desmaano> should be awesome xtknight
[08:10] <neilthereildeil> xtknight: the folder of whhich ever executable im calling
[08:10] <xtknight> scribble, do you have a wireless signal?  connected to any access point?  `sudo iwlist eth0 scan   `  (replace eth0 with adapter)
[08:10] <hyper_ch> amayera: that plausible deniability conept sounds nice in theory but is useless (at least) in Europe
[08:10] <neilthereildeil> so if i call eclipse, i wan the eclipse folder to be in classpath
[08:10] <flashstar> how do I find a list of users in this channel?
[08:10] <xtknight> neilthereildeil, 'call' it?
[08:10] <xtknight> neilthereildeil, as in type eclipse ?
[08:10] <neilthereildeil> so the eclipse executable can call stuff from that directory
[08:10] <neilthereildeil> no
[08:10] <neilthereildeil> i type eclipse
[08:10] <neilthereildeil> thats fine
[08:10] <amayera> hyper_ch: that is true. but I like it ;)
[08:10] <Desmaano> hyper_ch plausible deniability concept ? :P

[08:11] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:11] <Desmaano> it purpose is to be a home file server so has to be a bit stable
[08:11] <hyper_ch> amayera: well, government agencies are bound to the ECHR and according to it in a criminal prosecution (like police involved) you can't be ordered to say anything.... it's a breach of the fundamental rights granted by the ECHR
[08:11] <LordLimecat> im not sure whats screwed up, so ill list the symptoms
[08:11] <xtknight> Desmaano, wow that's an old guide
[08:11] <xtknight> Desmaano, i bet you can skip a lot of steps
[08:12] <tato> how come dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig doesnt ask me anything now? I need to disable bitmapped fonts
[08:12] <scribble> xtknight: it says signal level; -63dBm Noise level; -256dBm
[08:12] <xtknight> Desmaano, let's follow this http://humandoing.net/past/2007/3/13/software_raid_howto_ubuntu_610/
[08:12] <LordLimecat> gnome will not open properly.  If i login under gnome, it gets to loading nautilus, and crashes back to login.  XFCE accts similar.  KDE works, but upon opening a wine prog, it crashes
[08:12] <hyper_ch> and if you are forced by pain or some other torture then they will not stop torturing because they will now that more partitions could be hidden... so you don't really have any benefit
[08:12] <LordLimecat> back to login
[08:12] <xtknight> scribble, hm im not an electrical engineer so i dont know how good that is
[08:12] <LordLimecat> opening firefox at onepoint did the same thing
[08:12] <xtknight> apparently not very good
[08:12] <xtknight> lol
[08:13] <KDan> hello - is there a way to reliably download a file over a dodgy nfs connection? I'm thinking of something wget, ie which provides some feedback as to wtf is going on, and is reasonably resistant to the connection dropping for a few seconds, and so can deal with copying a multi-MB file over a crappy link a bit more effectively. Anyone know of such a utility?
[08:13] <Desmaano> haha it was written for warty :P
[08:13] <amayera> hyper_ch: sure. but that is theory, practically I think they will be far more suspicious if you don't tell them your keyphrase, so telling them your fake one thinks they have control and you have nothing to hide.
[08:13] <xtknight> Desmaano, start at "Now we open up the terminal, and get going. My drives are /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, so the first step is to use cfdisk to partition them:"
[08:13] <neilthereildeil> how can i mark a file as an executbale though the command line?
[08:13] <scribble> xtknight: it says signal level; -63dBm Noise level; -256dBm
[08:13] <xtknight> scribble, hm im not an electrical engineer so i dont know how good those levels are

[08:13] <LordLimecat> this all started when i did a ctrl+alt+backspace to restart X.  It didnt restart properly, so i killed off some of the processes that didnt shut down.  After that, and even after reboots, it still didnt work
[08:13] <scribble> the noise isn't too good. its only 92dBm on my desktop (this one)

[08:14] <ChrisF> greetings
[08:14] <xtknight> Desmaano, is this raid0 or raid1?
[08:14] <amayera> hyper_ch: is it already a proof that your ip was seen on some p2p-networks?
[08:14] <AngryElf> how can I tell what version of the nvidia driver I have?
[08:14] <xtknight> scribble, hmmm
[08:14] <neilthereildeil> xtknight: i just made a script in /usr/local/sbin

[08:15] <xtknight> scribble, does it have an IP?
[08:15] <Desmaano> raid1, mirroring if im right
[08:15] <alix_78> Hello
[08:15] <neilthereildeil> all it does is change directories to the eclipse folder

[08:16] <hyper_ch> it may be a bit different in case of civil process of "isp liability" but I can't generally tell on that
[08:16] <xtknight> scribble, ok `sudo dhclient wlan0`  does it grab an ip?
[08:16] <xtknight> Desmaano, modprobed it?
[08:16] <hyper_ch> amayera: anyway, I'm off to tv :)
[08:16] <amayera> hyper_ch: I think I remember that at least here in germany you are responsible for whatever went through your wifi
[08:17] <xtknight> Desmaano, let me know if you ge tstuck again
[08:17] <amayera> hyper_ch: have fun.
[08:17] <LordLimecat> anyone have any thoughts?
[08:17] <vbabiy_> hey when i follow !nvidia i can't get my video card to work
[08:17] <xtknight> LordLimecat, if gnome/xfce fail, could be gdm failure
[08:17] <xtknight> i dont know any more than that
[08:17] <xtknight> xfce uses gdm right?
[08:17] <KDan> hello - is there a way to reliably download a file over a dodgy nfs connection? I'm thinking of something wget, ie which provides some feedback as to wtf is going on, and is reasonably resistant to the connection dropping for a few seconds, and so can deal with copying a multi-MB file over a crappy link a bit more effectively. Anyone know of such a utility?
[08:17] <LordLimecat> how do i reinstall gdm without removing all associated packages?
[08:17] <LordLimecat> and why is wine failing?
[08:17] <xtknight> LordLimecat, wine crashes X?
[08:18] <LordLimecat> i THINK so
[08:18] <xtknight> LordLimecat, kernel video driver problem
[08:18] <Desmaano> Alright, now lets run mdadm to create the RAID:daniel@ubuntu:~$ sudo mdadm create
[08:18] <Desmaano> /dev/md0 level=1 raid-devices=2 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 ( error: -c does not set the mode so cannot be the first option)
[08:18] <scriblle> xtknight: it does not seem to find an ip address. it is sleeping now??
[08:18] <xtknight> same thing happened to me
[08:18] <hyper_ch> amayera: it's not Urmel (the movie) on Sat. 1 now?
[08:18] <LordLimecat> and how is THAT fixed?
[08:18] <xtknight> wine .34 is problematic
[08:18] <xtknight> LordLimecat, use wine .33 in repos
[08:18] <LordLimecat> it worked FINE before this
[08:18] <scriblle> xtknight: should i make it coffee....?

[08:18] <Deviad> Hello
[08:18] <xtknight> scriblle, i know i need some ;P
[08:18] <scriblle> xtknight: i could sure use some too
[08:18] <LordLimecat> and the program i loaded in wine shouldnt be touching video
[08:18] <Deviad> Can anyone pls help me with this compiling errors: http://www.rafb.net/p/ZrVs6f11.html ?
[08:18] <LordLimecat> its just an updater for a wow addon
[08:18] <xtknight> scriblle, set static ip or increase DHCP pool
[08:18] <KDan> hello - is there a way to reliably download a file over a dodgy nfs connection? I'm thinking of something like wget, ie which provides some feedback as to wtf is going on, and is reasonably resistant to the connection dropping for a few seconds, and so can deal with copying a multi-MB file over a crappy link a bit more effectively. Anyone know of such a utility?
[08:19] <xtknight> LordLimecat, it doesnt matter, mine crashed without video apps
[08:19] <Seveas> !ati > Deviad
[08:19] <xtknight> LordLimecat, does "glxgears" also crash
[08:19] <amayera> KDan: you could try scp.
[08:19] <xtknight> LordLimecat,  kernel/xorg nvidia .so/.ko driver version discrepancy probably.
[08:19] <vbabiy_> can some one please help me out with installing the driver
[08:19] <amayera> KDan: you only need a sshd for that.
[08:19] <hyper_ch> amayera: I know in civil law the question of "provider haftung" is different than in Switzerland... but I don't know if it applies to professional only or everyone
[08:19] <KDan> amayera: good point... that's more reliable than nfs? yeah there's an sshd on there
[08:20] <WaxyFresh> i have a ubuntu iso and want to extract it onto my usb drive so i can boot into it,any  help?
[08:20] <xtknight> Deviad,  i dont know what in the world is goig on there
[08:20] <LordLimecat> glxgears crashes, yes
[08:20] <xtknight> Deviad, it looks like the download is corrupt or something
[08:20] <LordLimecat> so what is yer recommendation?
[08:20] <xtknight> LordLimecat, nuke nvidia  *.so *.ko, reinstall nvidia
[08:20] <amayera> KDan: nearly anyhting is more reliable than nfs. I never had problems using scp.
[08:20] <KDan> amayera: cheers, will give that a try
[08:20] <xtknight> nfs/smb are teh suck
[08:20] <LordLimecat> can i just use their installation thingie?
[08:20] <xtknight> i agree
[08:20] <LordLimecat> and have it overwrite?
[08:20] <xtknight> LordLimecat, yea
[08:20] <scriblle> xtknight: i think the first main problem is that when i click on the little icon after typinh 'nm-applet' , the only option is a greyed out, unselectable 'wired connection'
[08:20] <xtknight> LordLimecat, probably
[08:20] <LordLimecat> awesome :D
[08:21] <LordLimecat> so last question
[08:21] <xtknight> scriblle, odd
[08:21] <LordLimecat> why does ctrl alt backspace hate me so much??
[08:21] <knix_> Hello, I have no sound anymore.  If i boot to the live cd i get sound, please help
[08:21] <LordLimecat> everytime i run it somethin REALLY bad happens
[08:21] <murf> hi anyone have any ideas on this on? when i try to get firefox through adept man i get this error message on install:There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages: any one know how to get round it or is it just life without the fox?
[08:21] <ChrisF> I want to install Bluefish HTML editor.  I tried sudo apt-get install bluefish but it can't find the package.  I guess I need to add the repository.  But, how do I know which repository it's in?
[08:21] <Desmaano> Alright, now lets run mdadm to create the RAID:daniel@ubuntu:~$ sudo mdadm create
[08:21] <Desmaano> /dev/md0 level=1 raid-devices=2 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1
[08:21] <Desmaano> error: mdadm: -c does not set the mode and so cannot be the first option
[08:21] <amayera> KDan: let me know if it worked.
[08:21] <LordLimecat> at the very least, i have to reboot to get gnome to load
[08:21] <xtknight> LordLimecat, lol, like X closes?
[08:21] <xtknight> :P
[08:21] <scriblle> xtknight:  so i load up connection properties, click configure, click enable this connection, type in BTVOYAGER1500-25 (which is the essid) click ok
[08:21] <LordLimecat> yea, it closes, reopens, and when i login, NOFFIN
[08:21] <LordLimecat> it hangs
[08:21] <xtknight> LordLimecat, fix nvidia problem first before diagnosing anything else
[08:21] <LordLimecat> alright
[08:21] <xtknight> one error could cause 5 billion
[08:22] <tommus> knix_: probably because the live-cd flushes all the sound-drivers in existance onto your session. try finding your specific driver and installing it in your normal session

[08:25] <xtknight> Desmaano, use a short dash manually typed
[08:25] <xtknight> Desmaano, actually, two short dashes instead of one long dash.
[08:26] <xtknight> ubuntu_ian, we dont understand what you mean
[08:26] <Desmaano> ok i try two dashes then :)

[08:31] <murf> so has any one even seen this error message??????  There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages.
[08:31] <amayera> hyper_ch: I use it, too.
[08:31] <Deviad> xtknight, how may I solve those compiling problems? I have even tried to redownload the drivers before to try to compile again
[08:31] <Hoxxin> what do i do next? i installed kubuntu on my ubuntu but i cant choose which one to run on startup
[08:31] <amayera> hyper_ch: that is why I suspected you not having /dev/hda anymore, because it misses here and now it is /dev/sda
[08:31] <smultron> i just ported the iChat sound set to Gaim. if anyone wants to try it out, i'd love some feedback. http://hagakure1.googlepages.com/iChat2Gaim.tar.gz
[08:31] <tommus> Hoxxin: edit your grub!
[08:32] <xtknight> Desmaano, sudo mknod /dev/md0 b 9 0
[08:32] <hyper_ch> amayera: that was a problem first :) until I found out that I could even setup hd-boot-order in the bios :)
[08:32] <murf> can any one help just a little????
[08:32] <vbabiy_> how can i change monitor setup in ubuntu
[08:32] <xtknight> scriblle, well type "sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode Ad-Hoc"
[08:32] <xtknight> i think
[08:32] <innervision> anyone else having trouble with their internet connection?
[08:32] <murf> pleassssssssssss...............
[08:32] <Desmaano> xtknight: mknod: '/dev/md0':file exsists
[08:33] <xtknight> scriblle, "  .. .The mode can be Ad-Hoc (network composed of  only

[08:33] <murf> hellllllllllpppppppppppp...............
[08:33] <Hoxxin> tommus: how do i do that? :D
[08:33] <xtknight> !ask
[08:33] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:33] <xtknight> Desmaano, type the mkraid cmd again
[08:33] <LordLimecat> xtknight: you rock
[08:33] <xtknight> Desmaano, mdadm i mean
[08:33] <LordLimecat> it found some issues during uninstall, you were right
[08:33] <murf> moovvviiinnnngggg.........toooooooooo.......the........darksssssssiiiddddeeeeeee
[08:33] <ompaul> murf, ask your question and see what happens the whole help thing
[08:33] <LordLimecat> and xfce and gnome now work :D
[08:33] <Desmaano> xtknight: i did, now the error is, device or resource busy
[08:33] <xtknight> LordLimecat, cool
[08:33] <max_> murf we have no idea what your problem is just ask it
[08:33] <xtknight> murf, ask your question already
[08:34] <scriblle> xtknight: ok i did that, mode is now ad-hoc and it says cell: not associated
[08:34] <ompaul> murf, and ask your question of the __whole__ channel
[08:34] <tommus> Hoxxin: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=388283 might solve your problem
[08:34] <etalli> !ask
[08:34] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:34] <Desmaano> xtknight: 'mdadm: Cannot open /dev/hdc1: Device or resource busy'
[08:34] <xtknight> scriblle, sudo iwconfig wlan0 ap MACADDRESS-OF-Access-Point
[08:34] <etalli> Oh, cool, bots!
[08:34] <xtknight> scriblle, in 00:00:00:00:00:00 format
[08:34] <xtknight> Desmaano, hm what's /dev/hdc1?
[08:35] <murf> i have asked many times but here it is again. i try to install firefox, it gets to 20% and then i get this error message:There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages.
[08:35] <tommus> Hoxxin: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst and you are able to edit your boot-list, you need to know where your kubuntu is installed and simply add it there
[08:35] <xtknight> murf, install firefox from where?
[08:35] <Desmaano> the primary partition on harddisk #1 of the raid array
[08:35] <ompaul> murf, your question lacks detail, such as what version of firefox, from where, and to what version of Ubuntu
[08:35] <scriblle> xtknight: ok done
[08:35] <xtknight> Desmaano, is it mounted
[08:35] <xtknight> Desmaano, (it shouldn't be as far as i know)
[08:35] <LordLimecat> xfce is nice o.0
[08:35] <Desmaano> xtknight: it is, and shown on my desktop
[08:36] <Desmaano> xtknight: unmount?
[08:36] <max_> murf : (I assume you're using Synaptic, please offer more details!)   If you click on the Details button , it will give you more information.  Simply saying "There is a problem" nobody can help
[08:36] <xtknight> Desmaano, yes sudo umount /dev/hdc1
[08:36] <xtknight> Desmaano, hdc1 will be wiped completely
[08:36] <murf> kubuntu 6.10 edgy fro add remove progs and adept man
[08:36] <Desmaano> woowoow it works :D
[08:36] <max_> murf: try this command in terminal: sudo apt-get install firefox
[08:36] <hyper_ch> amayera: hmmm, just one more question: how can I make a link to a shell script that shall be executed as root?
[08:36] <Ash-Fox> What group does a user have to be in to be granted direct access to a harddrive device like /dev/sdb ? (No, I don't want to run the proccesses in question as root)
[08:36] <xtknight> scriblle, now look at iwevent,  also type "sudo dhclient wlan0"
[08:37] <Deviad> http://www.rafb.net/p/ZrVs6f11.html
[08:37] <xtknight> Ash-Fox, they have to be in the usermask (umask=) of the fstab line
[08:37] <Deviad> :|
[08:37] <xtknight> Ash-Fox, or if you want users to be able to mount, then user=
[08:37] <xtknight> just user i mean
[08:37] <Desmaano> xtknight: i further read the story, you will hear the first next error from me, thanks for now :D
[08:37] <murf> tried the command thing no result there
[08:37] <xtknight> Desmaano, ok although i may have to go soon P
[08:37] <xtknight> :P
[08:37] <Ash-Fox> xtknight, don't want mount, and fstab lines are for mounted paths, no?
[08:37] <Desmaano> ok i be quick :)
[08:37] <amayera> hyper_ch: when do you want this script to be executed?
[08:38] <xtknight> Ash-Fox, what do you mean direct access?
[08:38] <xtknight> Ash-Fox, access to the block device (why?)
[08:38] <max_> murf : it displayed an error ....  errors are helpful to finding out what the problem is.
[08:38] <Ash-Fox> Because I need it for vmware-server
[08:38] <xtknight> Ash-Fox, the 'disk' group, apparently.
[08:38] <hyper_ch> amayera: just wanting to add an umount of the encrypted device... hence running two commands as root
[08:38] <scriblle> xtknight: ok, same results as before; dhclient is sleeping and iwevent is still waiting for wireless events
[08:38] <etalli> Just to state outright, I am using Kubuntu feisty (the guys at #kubuntu directed me to you). i need to change the resolution to 1280x800 but it is not in the list under the monitor section even though it is in my monitor section of xorg.conf, can anyone help?  I have done 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' more than once, tried to find a modeline to add, and now I am stuck
[08:38] <xtknight> Ash-Fox,  ok but you really shouldn't have vwmare use physical partitions :/
[08:38] <xtknight> unless they're blank
[08:38] <hyper_ch> so I thought I put them in a shell script and then make a launcher that executes it as root
[08:38] <ChrisF> anybody have any experience installing Wine in 6.10 on an AMD64 install?
[08:39] <xtknight> scriblle, ifconfig wlan0  is it associated ?
[08:39] <murf> got this in command:Errors were encountered while processing:
[08:39] <xtknight> ChrisF, yea

[08:39] <denys> does anybody here has beryl installed? i need a little help
[08:39] <Ash-Fox> xtknight, for best performance, yes :)
[08:39] <max_> etalli : add it to your monitor section in xorg.conf (dont forget to back-up first!)
[08:39] <tommus> denys: whatsup?
[08:39] <Trist_an> denys, yes
[08:39] <Hoxxin> tommus: ok tnx
[08:39] <PriceChild>  denys #ubuntu-effects please
[08:39] <xtknight> Desmaano, http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit
[08:39] <tommus> Hoxxin: did you get it to work?
[08:39] <denys> hey, i'm stuck at installing the nvidia drivers
[08:40] <etalli> max_ no offence, but maybe you should finish reading my first comment.
[08:40] <amayera> hyper_ch: you could make a script into your home-dir with #!/bin/bash sudo firstcommand && sudo secondcommand in it. than chmod +x it and then execute it using sudo yourscript
[08:40] <smultron> denys, where are you stuck?
[08:40] <xtknight> Desmaano, sorry wrong person
[08:40] <xtknight> ChrisF, Ash-Fox,
[08:40] <xtknight> ChrisF, http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit
[08:40] <Desmaano> xtknight: wine? whatfor ? windows emulation yes but explain :P
[08:40] <tommus> denys: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_Xgl.2FCompiz_.28NVIDIA.29 - tried that guide?
[08:40] <etalli> max_ and I quote "...event though it is in the monitor section of xorg.conf..."
[08:40] <xtknight> Desmaano, ignore that
[08:40] <thepumpkin1979_> hi. I have changed fstab file, is there a quick command to reload it and test changes?
[08:40] <max_> etalll my bad
[08:40] <Desmaano> haha ok :P
[08:40] <murf> also on reading further back in the process there was this error in shell to:Unpacking firefox (from .../firefox_2.0.0.3+0dfsg-0ubuntu0.6.10_i386.deb) ...

[08:40] <xtknight> thepumpkin1979_, sudo muont -a
[08:40] <denys> when i try to actually run it, it wont work, i get "can open  file ./nvidia-..."
[08:41] <Hoxxin> tommus: havent tried yet, im playin games at the same time :)
[08:41] <thepumpkin1979_> thanks xtknight
[08:41] <murf> install fire fox.......
[08:41] <xtknight> thepumpkin1979_, "sudo mount -a" i mean.  also you should unmount.  and mount -a will only work if the partition line has "auto" in it
[08:41] <hyper_ch> amayera: yes that's what I think... btw, when I power down the computer but do not umount and not luksClose then it will be closed anyway, right?
[08:41] <xtknight> thepumpkin1979_, sudo mount /affected/partition     if you want to just update one
[08:41] <Desmaano> when my 64bit system will be delivered i will visit #ubuntu again ;)
[08:41] <max_> murf : are you able to install anything else with dpkg (apt) ?
[08:41] <amayera> hyper_ch: depends if you ahve it in your /etc/fstab and /etc/crypttab
[08:41] <hyper_ch> amayera: on this site they say something about dmsetup info  https://systemausfall.org/wikis/howto/CryptoPartitionHowTo (bottom)
[08:42] <murf> yep, wine xchat, ntfs .3g n more
[08:42] <Desmaano> only a small step away from a software raid :DD
[08:42] <smultron> denys, the terminal is case-sensitve. maybe try ./NVIDIA... because that's how the drivers from their website are usually named
[08:42] <max_> murf : sudo apt-get remove firefox
[08:42] <Desmaano> please give uboto something like !softwareraid and a link to the site :)
[08:42] <scriblle> xtknight: iwconfig wlan0 is not associated
[08:42] <cypher1> murf, try removing the firefox deb manually and then install firefox again
[08:42] <Desmaano> !softwareraid
[08:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about softwareraid - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:42] <denys> oh i did not know that, thanks, i'll try it now
[08:42] <mapez> right now im on 7.04 beta on the 19th will I be able to fully update to the stable?
[08:42] <smultron> denys, you can also start typing it in and then hit the <tab> key to finish it for you
[08:42] <xtknight> scriblle, nightmare
[08:42] <xtknight> :O
[08:42] <tommus> mapez: yes!
[08:43] <scriblle> i know
[08:43] <xtknight> mapez, yes
[08:43] <mapez> ah, okay good just makign sure before i get everything on this hdd.
[08:43] <scriblle> xtknight: if you dont mind, could you tell me what i need to do to remove it all
[08:43] <xtknight> scriblle, somehow it's not finding the access point even though youve entered the MAC
[08:43] <xtknight> scriblle, maybe try bcm43xx/fwcutter instead of ndiswrapper
[08:43] <xtknight> scriblle, i can try
[08:43] <dustpyle_x2> Hello folks
[08:43] <scriblle> xtknight: i want to remove nidiswrapper, the drivers, everything
[08:43] <Hoxxin> tommus: that looked complicated
[08:43] <hyper_ch> amayera: oh, it says so :) powering down also removes that stuff
[08:43] <cypher1> !hi | dustpyle_x2
[08:43] <ubotu> dustpyle_x2: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[08:43] <xtknight> scriblle, i  know the feeling
[08:43] <smultron> denys, you'll probably have to run it with "sudo ./NVIDIA..." as it requires root priveleges
[08:43] <hyper_ch> amayera: one should read :)
[08:43] <xtknight> scriblle, nuke it all and set it on fire..
[08:44] <Desmaano> scribblle,xtknight: is it about wireless networking ?
[08:44] <scriblle> xtknight: it has worked before on another system that had the same chipset. its just that, BCM4036 models are tempremental
[08:44] <xtknight> Desmaano, yea
[08:44] <smultron> denys: and you have to be logged out of X to run it, too
[08:44] <scriblle> :D
[08:44] <xtknight> scriblle, it worked with ndiswrapper
[08:44] <amayera> hyper_ch: ;)
[08:44] <xtknight> ??
[08:44] <Desmaano> xtknight: omg that sucks to set up
[08:44] <xtknight> Desmaano, did the raid work?
[08:44] <murf> tried remove but shell hasnt made the install...........??linux@linux-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get remove firefox
[08:44] <murf> Reading package lists... Done
[08:44] <murf> Building dependency tree
[08:44] <murf> Reading state information... Done
[08:44] <murf> Package firefox is not installed, so not removed

[08:44] <noget> hey there, i need some serious help after a fresh ubuntu 7.04 install. I do have internet connections, but there is a looooong lag... anybody any idea what might wrong?
[08:45] <PriceChild> noget, #ubuntu+1 please
[08:45] <tommus> Hoxxin: well, its a bit of reading up to get working but in the long rung its a good thing to know how to edit your menu.lst :)
[08:45] <scriblle> xtknight: i dont want to re-install ubuntu, but i have noticed reinstalling the drivers sometimes works
[08:45] <noget> in firefox, i might add
[08:45] <cypher1> murf, please try "sudo rm /var/..../firefox...deb"
[08:45] <xtknight> scriblle, sudo modprobe -r bcm43xx ; sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper
[08:45] <Desmaano> 'omg stupid computer let me point you the f*cking router that is 10 centimeters away from you '
[08:45] <cypher1> murf, sudo apt-get install firefox
[08:45] <Hoxxin> tommus: ye ok tnx :)
[08:45] <denys> how do i log out of the x server? do i just run "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop"? i did that but nothing happened
[08:45] <xtknight> scriblle, sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist    remove "blacklist bcm43xx"
[08:46] <xtknight> denys, gee that's odd
[08:46] <xtknight> denys, are you using kubuntu?
[08:46] <denys> yea
[08:46] <xtknight> denys, sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop
[08:46] <xtknight> or ?dm will do it for any buntu
[08:46] <scriblle> arg!
[08:46] <scriblle> it works
[08:46] <xtknight> scriblle, lol
[08:46] <scriblle> i did sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper and it found the access point
[08:46] <xtknight> hahah
[08:46] <xtknight> wtf
[08:47] <scriblle> xtknight: the chipset is completly random
[08:47] <gnychis> whenever i try to open a .mov in ubuntu, i get "gstreamer encountered a general stream error" ... do i need to install something more?
[08:47] <xtknight> scriblle, so what driver is it using
[08:47] <xtknight> :P
[08:47] <xtknight> scriblle, did ndiswrapper get loaded twice??
[08:47] <murf> cant remove if its not installed right???? and sudo install never completes see the above
[08:47] <xtknight> scriblle, lsmod | grep ndis
[08:47] <scriblle> erm....im not sure, because when i click on the icon, it says its not connected??
[08:47] <scriblle> im not sure
[08:47] <cypher1> murf, first -- please try "sudo rm /var/..../firefox...deb"
[08:47] <thepumpkin1979_> xtknight: i'm trying to mount a NTFS partition bet i have three disc's. 2 IDE and 1 Sata. I have successfully mounted SATA and IDE1. How could I know which disc's are installed and their device id?
[08:48] <xtknight> murf, "sudo dpkg --purge --force-all firefox; sudo dpkg --configure -a"
[08:48] <cypher1> murf, second -- please try "sudo apt-get install firefox"
[08:48] <Alonea>  oh! also when linux starts it says a bunch of buffer I/O errors on the ntfs drive.
[08:48] <smultron> denys: you'll have to hit <alt> <ctrl> <f1>
[08:48] <scriblle> xtknight: i think it was
[08:48] <smultron> denys: then "sudo killall gdm"
[08:48] <xtknight> scriblle, ah well that'll do it
[08:48] <scriblle> because it's still loaded if i lsmod
[08:48] <xtknight> denys already quit
[08:48] <xtknight> kdm did it
[08:48] <scriblle> now, to update or not to update....might kill it:/
[08:48] <xtknight> scriblle, update! ;P
[08:48] <smultron> denys: that's after you log in
[08:49] <xtknight> denys isn't even here
[08:49] <xtknight> lol
[08:49] <scriblle> xtknight: thankyou! inadvertadly you fixed my pc!
[08:49] <xtknight> scriblle, well if it weren't for you i wouldnt have
[08:49] <xtknight> scriblle, removing the drivers worked ;)
[08:49] <xtknight> scriblle, they didnt tell you with these cards you have to "uninstall" the drivers to make them work.  they're voodoo
[08:49] <smultron> denys: then once you've run the Nvidia driver, type 'sudo gdm' again
[08:50] <hyper_ch> amayera: now it works perfect :)
[08:50] <cypher1> smultron, for whom you are replying
[08:50] <gnychis> whenever i try to open a .mov in ubuntu, i get "gstreamer encountered a general stream error" ... do i need to install something more?
[08:50] <xtknight> smultron, denys is not in the channel right now but you are welcome to help him when he gets back.  he has kdm right now, not gdm.
[08:50] <smultron> cypherl: to denys

[08:51] <murf> xtknight- did that and got this:dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove firefox which isn't installed.
[08:51] <TaJMoX> gnychis : read that
[08:51] <xtknight> murf, that's ok, continue with the cmds
[08:51] <murf> so just sudo install now?
[08:51] <amayera> hyper_ch: nice to hear
[08:51] <xtknight> murf, dpkg confiogure?
[08:51] <xtknight> murf, did you do "sudo dpkg --configure -a" ?
[08:51] <smultron> xtknight: ah, ok, didn't realize, sorry
[08:51] <murf> yep all one line though...
[08:52] <xtknight> murf, k one moment now dont do anything
[08:52] <scriblle> xtknight: sounds kind of microsoft to me:)
[08:52] <xtknight> murf, sudo rm -rf /var/cache/apt/archives/firefox*
[08:52] <bogor> gnychis: have you installed the bad & ugly plugins ?
[08:52] <murf> k wait
[08:52] <scriblle> xtknight: i hope installing the updates will be ok, because i am going to swap the kernel for a precompiled one supporting the ingo molnar patch
[08:52] <xtknight> scriblle, ahh ingo, ive done that aptch
[08:52] <xtknight> patch*
[08:53] <TaJMoX> sudo apt-get autoclean
[08:53] <TaJMoX> that removes the apt cache
[08:53] <xtknight> scriblle, dynticks?  out of curiosity why?
[08:53] <xtknight> scriblle, i did it to increase speed/conserve power i'd like to know if there are any other advantages
[08:53] <murf> ok done that
[08:53] <xtknight> murf, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox
[08:53] <scriblle> xtknight: i want to do it so i can get out of cubse, i like ardour2
[08:54] <xtknight> scriblle, what?
[08:54] <bogor> how useable is amd64 version of ubuntu for desktop use ?
[08:54] <xtknight> scriblle, hm what are cubse/ardour2?
[08:54] <TaJMoX> murf have you tried getting the official .deb from the mozilla site and installing that ?
[08:54] <scriblle> xtknight: i tried musix, but it was buggy, bloated and a little unreliable. it was a lovely package, but just not usable.
[08:54] <flyte> how do I see the size of my swap partition?
[08:54] <mjr> bogor, very usable, unless you happen to want to use proprietary non-amd64 software
[08:54] <cypher1> flyte, swapon -s
[08:54] <xtknight> bogor, flash and windwos media codecs are harder

[08:57] <epsilon_> hi all

[08:58] <cypher1> flyte, i think so
[08:58] <Desmaano> bash: no job control in this shell
[08:58] <gnychis> bogor: TaJMoX: yeah i just sudo apt-get'ed all of those packages for ugly and everything, i see a thumbnail of the video properly in the file manager, but still get the streaming error
[08:58] <xtknight> gotta go
[08:58] <xtknight> Desmaano, scriblle see you later
[08:58] <Desmaano> xtknight, ok thanks a lot mate :)
[08:58] <Derek_Russo> Does anyone have experience installing ATI drivers?
[08:58] <xtknight> Desmaano, good luck with that stuff
[08:59] <srjames> Hrm.
[08:59] <TaJMoX> gnychis : i assume you're using Totem ?
[08:59] <srjames> I just installed Ubuntu 6.10
[08:59] <TaJMoX> gnychis : vlc never fails me
[08:59] <scriblle> xtknight: thanks again:)
[08:59] <Ali_ix> Derek_Russo: i see :( i hope you get it fixed
[08:59] <srjames> I have to say it's pretty nice.. I was biased at first because i've always been a big DYI distro guy, but ubuntu is just solid, and you can never fail with apt-get
[08:59] <srjames> I don't know why 1280x800 wasn't in the xorg.conf file but that doesn't really matter =p
[08:59] <gnychis> TaJMoX: whatever the ubuntu default is, which i think is totem
[08:59] <Derek_Russo> Me too, I really like the operating system, but I can't use it if I can't do what I want with it
[09:00] <TaJMoX> srjames : yea ubuntu's package management rocks
[09:00] <TaJMoX> srjames : ati? intel? nvidia?
[09:00] <srjames> I loved debian
[09:00] <srjames> TaJMoX: nvidia.
[09:00] <srjames> TaJMoX: are the default nvidia drivers pretty up to date ?
[09:00] <srjames> TaJMoX: i apt-get installed the nvidia-glx ones just to be sure
[09:00] <TaJMoX> srjames : dunno, i use intel and ati =] 
 i use mplayer for .mov file playback, give that a try
[09:00] <srjames> TaJMoX: = 0

[09:01] <dEBiaN> yes debian is cool :)
[09:01] <Derek_Russo> TaJMoX: can you help me instal my fglrx drivers?  I have used the tutorial and could not get it to work
[09:01] <srjames> TaJMoX: oh i wasn't complaining, i just edited the .conf file
[09:01] <Derek_Russo> When I go to that tutorial and install the drivers, I still get the Mesa project as the vendor string

[09:02] <cypher1> WTC_SEVEN, do you mean port forwarding ?
[09:02] <iturk> hi there friends each package should i install in order for not getting the Xserver
[09:03] <Derek_Russo> Has anyone here gotten fglrx to work on their computer?
[09:03] <cypher1> Derek_Russo, did you modify xorg.conf and other things ?
[09:03] <Derek_Russo> cypher1: yes, I did everything that the guide said to do
[09:03] <WTC_SEVEN> cypher1: nope this is slightly different, it's used so you don't have to setup a port forward
[09:03] <Derek_Russo> cypher1: including making the soft links to various places, etc
[09:04] <astroraptor> this is getting really long ... is there a way to force a resolution in xorg.conf? I've been looking everywhere trying to find out why I'm stuck at 800x600 but everything I try just keeps me stuck at that resolution.
[09:04] <Stylee-FilipBole> do someone use cinelerra?
[09:04] <srjames> astroraptor: what's your problem ?
[09:05] <srjames> astroraptor: are you using gnome  ?
[09:05] <astroraptor> yes
[09:05] <Ali_ix> astroraptor: you can set defaut resoloution and refresh rate in config editor
[09:05] <Derek_Russo> Does anyone know of other drivers you can use for ATI cards besids fglrx?
[09:05] <dooglus> how can I get 'sudo' to ask for my password before doing stuff as root?
[09:05] <dooglus> at the moment it just does it
[09:05] <srjames> astroraptor: did you edit the xorg.conf file ?  go down to the resolution section, you'lsee a defaul depth , probably set to 24
[09:05] <astroraptor> I want to use 1024x768
[09:05] <Ali_ix> dooglus: it doesnt ask?
[09:05] <dooglus> Ali_ix: no, it never has
[09:05] <astroraptor> yes, defaulted to 24
[09:05] <dooglus> Ali_ix: it's not just that it has it cached for 10 minutes or something - it never asks
[09:05] <bXi> what could be wrong when a livecd doesnt get past the very first menu
[09:06] <srjames> astroraptor: then find that field corresponding to the default depth, and add on "1024x768" to the beginning
[09:06] <Ali_ix> dooglus: theer is some password cching there.. but not really more than 15 minutes
[09:06] <life> I've got a silly question, how do I disable the logging page at startup, I'm the only user for the computer.

[09:06] <vbabiy_> how can i change monitor setup in ubuntu
[09:06] <astroraptor> already there, I checked
[09:06] <astroraptor> no, no insulting here, haha
[09:06] <dooglus> Ali_ix: right, but it *never* asks, so it couldn't have cached it - 'cos I've not typed it
[09:06] <tmroland> is the linux network administrator's guide 2nd edition from tldp.org site up to date and still good?
[09:06] <Ali_ix> dooglus: are you sure that not logged in via root itself? :)
[09:06] <dooglus> Ali_ix: yes.  I didn't ever set a root password
[09:07] <Derek_Russo> Ali_ix: do you have any other ideas that I could try?
[09:07] <srjames> Ali_ix: if you set a root password maybe it'll ask you ?
[09:07] <dooglus> Ali_ix: uid=1000(chris) gid=1000(chris) groups=4(adm),20(dialout),...

[09:08] <Ali_ix> srjames: what is your ubuntu version?
[09:08] <srjames> Ali_ix: 6.10
[09:08] <Ali_ix> dooglus: lol!
[09:08] <dooglus> srjames: "sudo -k" will get rid of the cached password
[09:08] <Ali_ix> dooglus: so that is true... no need to worry
[09:08] <dooglus> Ali_ix: hmmm?

[09:13] <cables> People connected via VNC aren't able to see my mouse pointer... is there any way to fix this?
[09:14] <dooglus> Ali_ix: it's almost like a 'real' ubuntu install, except for some annoying things, like 'sudo' never prompting for a password, /etc/network/interfaces getting trashed every time I boot, xorg.conf getting re-written each boot, etc.
[09:14] <stepanstas> josh36, what do you need help with
[09:14] <life> sizzam, thanks a lot
[09:14] <Andeh> Hello
[09:14] <sizzam> cables: i think there is usually a setting in the VNC client to show or not show the remote mouse pointer
[09:14] <stepanstas> How can i check my super user password?
[09:14] <sizzam> cables: as opposed to your vnc server
[09:15] <scriblle> i tried loading the deb package but it says 'could not open linux image' package might be corrupted or you are not allowed to open the file'
[09:15] <cellojoe> stepanstas: check meaning recover?
[09:15] <cables> sizzam, I'm using vnc2swf, and other people connecting report not seeing the pointer too.
[09:15] <dooglus> lol.  the sudoers file says: "%admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: NOPASSWD: NOPASSWD: NOPASSWD: NOPASSWD: NOPASSWD: ALL"
[09:15] <Ali_ix> dooglus: even tried to install ubuntu on your flash drive? (it is possible)
[09:15] <dooglus> looks like someone really didn't want to have to specify a password :)
[09:15] <stepanstas> cellojoe, yes, you could say that

[09:17] <sgtmattbaker> can anyone help me with drive image.. I really need to make a backup image of a partition
[09:17] <stepanstas> cellojoe, i can try that, what do i do
[09:17] <cellojoe> there is not a root password by default, for that reason
[09:18] <cellojoe> sudo is the safest way to gain root permissions
[09:18] <cellojoe> (thats the disclaimer)
[09:18] <cellojoe> still want to set a root passwd? even tho you know it's risky?
[09:18] <stepanstas> cellojoe, i am the only user on this comp
[09:18] <Megaqwerty> is there a way that I can grep the contents of a file, and then take the results and remove them from the file?
[09:18] <stepanstas> cellojoe, well, i have to install a program this way, so is there another option
[09:18] <srjames> i couldn't imagine operating without root password
[09:18] <josh36> stepanstas can u help me with that?
[09:19] <dooglus> cellojoe: I don't see how it's safer to have your user's password, which you type every day, be able to get root access using sudo, than it is to have a separate root password which you hardly ever type
[09:19] <srjames> ill be editing a lot of things and i dont want to keep typing sudo
[09:19] <sgtmattbaker> CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH DEVICE IMAGE? please
[09:19] <dooglus> cellojoe: if someone was sniffing your keystrokes then they'll be able to get your user password a lot sooner than your root password, 'cos you type it more.
[09:19] <tmroland> srjames: you can use sudo -i or sudo su
[09:19] <stepanstas> josh36, no, i dont know, but in my experience, "dont ask to ask a question, just ask the question"
[09:19] <cellojoe> stepanstas: if you need to install a program using, saay apt-get, use sudo apt-get

[09:20] <srjames> tmroland: i see the security risks in it, but i'm just so used to it
[09:20] <bruenig> !sudo
[09:20] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:20] <stepanstas> cellojoe, okay, what if i have instruction to do something that i asked from someone
[09:20] <tmroland> srjames: do sudo -i enter your username password then do passwd  and set root password
[09:20] <josh36> im from israel and my english is not well .what do u mean?
[09:21] <stepanstas> cellojoe, im not sure how to explain it, but basically it creates a shared folder between linux and xp
[09:21] <sgtmattbaker> so nobody wants to help w/ device image?
[09:21] <tmroland> srjames: or just : sudo passwd root
[09:21] <stepanstas> josh36, ask the question again
[09:21] <colbert> I am movign a large .iso file that was about 90% done when moving from my networked XP computer to this ubuntu machine, when my mom turned my XP computer off, halting the transfer..

[09:21] <josh36> i want to install a program on cd and i want that program to work o any computer without insalling it
[09:22] <cellojoe> stepanstas: i'm not sure how you're doing that, if you figure this out, lemme know! but to set a root password type the following in the terminal
[09:22] <cellojoe> sudo root passwd
[09:22] <tmroland> srjames: you can login as root in ubuntu, but its not enabled by default because the lack of a password

[09:22] <bruenig> josh36, assuming the program is compiled, and is able to access whatever libraries, you should be able to put the compiled binaries on a cd, and then run them
[09:22] <josh36> i want to install a program on cd and i want that program to work o any computer without insalling it
[09:22] <EdgEy> i don't understand how sudo gives added security though
[09:23] <cellojoe> josh36: you want a live cd?
[09:23] <EdgEy> just means that if someone knows your password they can get root, they don't need to know a seperate password that's used less
[09:23] <cellojoe> www.portableapps.com
[09:23] <EdgEy> o.o
[09:23] <cellojoe> josh36: www.portableapps.com
[09:23] <dooglus> EdgEy: that's right, it doesn't give more security
[09:23] <EdgEy> seems to give less

[09:23] <tdn> Is it possible to configure apt-get to use more than one thread while downloading packages/lists in apt-get update and in apt-get upgrade?
[09:23] <kaitrek> I have a problem: I run an old AMD computer, with 128Mb of ram, and 2-3Gb harddrive, right after I instal the ubuntu-server edition it asks me to remove the CD, I do, then it reboots, when it comes to GRUB loader, I press to go ahead and continue loading normally, as if this was an ordinary boot up, then suddenly in 0.5seconds after GRUB starts loading ubuntu, the whole computer restarts, and this ordeal will repeat itself with
[09:23] <tmroland> EdgEy: thats why you must be really careful whom you add to /etc/sudoers, and this only until you can set a separate password for root
[09:23] <tmroland> simple
[09:23] <kaitrek> interaction in a continuous loop
[09:24] <bruenig> EdgEy, when somebody tries to get into your system, they know that one of the usernames is root, and then can just guess the password, now they have to guess the username and the password, also it doesn't allow you to screw something up, provides a sort of double check
[09:24] <dooglus> EdgEy: what it's good for is in places where multiple users need admin privs; it lets you see who did what, rather than everyone using the 'root' account
[09:24] <TaJMoX> tdn : that will hog the servers and is bad for the rest of us
[09:24] <josh36> im weak in that aria i need a simple thing
[09:24] <EdgEy> dooglus, ah, didn't think of that
[09:24] <TaJMoX> xscreensaver locks my display with a password after closing my laptop lid - even though I un-checked the "lock computer" in xscreensaver configuration.... any idea on how to disable this ?
[09:24] <EdgEy> bruenig i guess
[09:24] <dooglus> bruenig: so change the root account's name to something else
[09:24] <stepanstas> EdgEy, thanks for that
[09:24] <typedestereo> hm
[09:24] <stepanstas> cellojoe, i will let you know if it works
[09:25] <Trist_an> hey, I was just wondering if it is possible to open an image inside the terminal? Like you can open a movie with mplayer and libcaca library
[09:25] <typedestereo> if I'm running ubuntu, how would I go about installing kde without using an install cd?
[09:25] <bruenig> dooglus, you could yes, but that will be done on a distro level or a personal user level? if a distro level that defeats the purpose because the person would likely know
[09:25] <stepanstas> cellojoe, by the way, the comand was sudo passwd (someone corrected you)
[09:25] <EdgEy> Trist_an it's not really inside the terminal with mplayer
[09:25] <limaunion> kaitrek: maybe a hardware problem ? run memtest86.
[09:25] <colbert> Anyone? Is it possible to "RESUME" a file when moving from one drive to another in ubuntu ???
[09:25] <cellojoe> stepanstas: oh, thanks.
[09:25] <EdgEy> it's as inside the terminal as running xchat from term would be, it attaches to X
[09:25] <kaitrek> limaunion memtest is OK
[09:25] <dooglus> bruenig: on a personal level, the same way you set the password.  if you want 2 secrets instead of 1, that is.

[09:26] <TaJMoX> Trist_an : if you aren't using the GUI - you need to find an svgalib image viewer
[09:26] <srjames> hrm
[09:26] <bruenig> dooglus, that would make support a joy, I mean for power users, then go for it, but to try to set it up as default would be stupid for ubuntu I think
[09:26] <srjames> Is beryl worth installing.
[09:26] <etalli> typedestereo sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop, or sudo aptitude install kde-core if you want it without kubunutu defaults
[09:26] <BarronVon__> anyone know how to keep people from flooding me off IRC? I am in the #politics channel and everytime I say something controversial my irc freezes

[09:26] <SandTrooper> Hi I am using v6.10 and I can not find the file "/etc/inittab" any idea?
[09:26] <TaJMoX> Trist_an : zgv not zvg
[09:27] <heath_> Trist_an "gthumb <image>"
[09:27] <bruenig> cellojoe, wow both useless and condescending at the same time, love it
[09:27] <elementz> guys, what is wrong with my script: http://rafb.net/p/G7sw7c74.html ? wan't to launch the included python app upon doubleclick on the script
[09:27] <Trist_an> TaJMoX, and after I can do zgv the pic?
[09:27] <SandTrooper> Was the inittab file replaced
[09:27] <typedestereo> hm
[09:27] <cellojoe> bruenig: :D
[09:27] <TaJMoX> Trist_an : yes its a terminal-based svgalib image viewer (not for X)
[09:27] <typedestereo> "Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "kubuntu-desktop""-this just means I won't be getting the package suppository?
[09:28] <dooglus> elementz: "chmod +x script.sh"?
[09:28] <Derek_Russo> TaJMoX: can you help me with my ATI driver issue?
[09:28] <typedestereo> or will I have to slog through enabling multiverse?
[09:28] <elementz> dooglus, yep
[09:28] <Dunkelschub> Excuse me, could someone point me in the right direction to move my entire Ubuntu installation from one hardrive to another?
[09:28] <bruenig> elementz, script looks ok, I would just the entire path though "python /home/operon/download/svn/hellanzb/hellanzb.py"
[09:28] <etalli> typedestereo, first you need to sude aptitude update
[09:28] <etalli> sudo
[09:28] <bruenig> elementz, is it executable
[09:28] <Trist_an> TaJMoX, it tells me that I need to be the current owner of the console to be able to open it...
[09:28] <elementz> yes it is
[09:28] <dooglus> elementz: does it work OK from the command line, that script?
[09:28] <redbrd_> Is anyone familiar with occuring segmentation faults when trying to use QT::Object.connect on Ruby 1.8.4 with latest korundum in ubuntu?
[09:28] <typedestereo> ok
[09:28] <TaJMoX> Derek_Russo I didnt use the official ati-driver-installer thing .... thats different than fglrx i think
[09:28] <vox754> package suppository!!
[09:28] <typedestereo> now I just need to run the other command again?
[09:29] <etalli> yeah
[09:29] <elementz> yeah works without probs
[09:29] <TaJMoX> Trist_an : try sudo
[09:29] <Derek_Russo> TaJMoX: did you get fglrx to work? I haven't had any luck getting it to install correctly
[09:29] <bruenig> typedestereo, don't put quotes around "kubuntu-desktop" if you are, can't really tell from the error message, but it looks like you might be
[09:29] <trainer__> I installed fglrx and X still won't start, I get "(EE) No devices detected."
[09:29] <SandTrooper> Hi I am using v6.10 and I can not find the file "/etc/inittab" any idea?
[09:29] <typedestereo> it's from the error message
[09:29] <TaJMoX> make sure in your xorg.conf file that the driver is "fglrx" not "ati"
[09:29] <typedestereo> which I got again :x
[09:29] <TaJMoX> !ati
[09:29] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:29] <Derek_Russo> TaJMoX: I'm almost certain it is, let me check
[09:30] <elementz> bruenig, tried that already - same issue though - script keeps closing
[09:30] <bruenig> elementz, is this thing graphical or what?
[09:30] <TaJMoX> make sure youo follow the steps exactly - it works for all my ATI computers
[09:30] <scriblle> Does anybody here have experience with installing precompiled kernels?
[09:30] <typedestereo> limited experience, yes
[09:30] <Derek_Russo> TaJMoX: I have followed all of the steps, is there a way I can try to do it again?
[09:31] <elementz> bruenig, its a download pro
[09:31] <elementz> *g
[09:31] <SandTrooper> thx guys
[09:31] <bruenig> elementz, ok, so it is graphical? it isn't a command line program
[09:31] <etalli> typedestereo, thats strange, unless you really want all of kubuntu's pretties try sudo aptitude install kde
[09:31] <heath_> where can i find an ATI Driver "How To" for an ATI Rage Card?
[09:31] <TaJMoX> Derek_Russo : make sure you have a backup of your working xorg.conf and then try it again
[09:31] <elementz> bruenig, well kind of - its a python app that runs inside the console
[09:32] <Derek_Russo> Alright, I will
[09:32] <typedestereo> etalli: so it's not vital that I fix the error message?
[09:32] <Trist_an> TaJMoX, sudo didn't workd and flashed my screen before coming back to normal
[09:32] <etalli> not really
[09:32] <bruenig> elementz, yeah, that is likely the problem, you need to have it open in the terminal
[09:32] <EADG> Trist_an: You trying to run sgv via ssh?
[09:32] <typedestereo> so I'll just need to terminate this session and log back in in order to run kde?
[09:32] <gharz> guys, i'm updating to feisty beta. i'm running beryl as well while installing the feisty... do i need to kill beryl?
[09:32] <Coudy_> hi, is there someone who has experiences with force feedback joystick in (k)ubuntu ?
[09:33] <etalli> you'll need to choose kde from the session submenu of that little options button down in the corner
[09:33] <TaJMoX> Trist_an : you're not in X right ?
[09:33] <Trist_an> EADG, no. How should I do. In fact I'm trying to be able to open picture while using elinks for example
[09:33] <elementz> bruenig, issue solved -  i just created a starter on the desktop - works like a charm - thx
[09:33] <EADG> Trist_an: I had same problem yesterday with Elinks.
[09:33] <dooglus> elementz: write the script like:  xterm -e python hellanzb.py
[09:33] <SandTrooper> Were do you change the run level in Ubuntu ?
[09:33] <EADG> Trist_an: Restart Elinks.
[09:33] <Trist_an> EADG, did you come up with something
[09:34] <Trist_an> TaJMoX, I am on Xgl...
[09:34] <typedestereo> I'll be back in a minute to idle in this channel
[09:34] <gharz> guys, do i need to stop beryl when i update to feisty using update-manager -d?
[09:34] <bXi> did someone here manage to get direct rendering on a matrox g200
[09:34] <elementz> dooglus, ^^ thx for your tipp - issue solved via starter already - thx
[09:34] <CSWookie> What's a good program for playing DVDs on Linux?
[09:34] <TaJMoX> Trist_an : so why dont you use an X image viewer?  Why a console one?

[09:35] <Trist_an> TaJMoX, to be able to open image while using elinks

[09:39] <typedestereo> since I can't select kde and I've already tried aptitude, what should I do?
[09:39] <Derek_Russo> TaJMoX: when I try to download the driver again, it says it is already up to date
[09:39] <typedestereo> I tried to, and it seemed to work
[09:39] <TaJMoX> type add repositories in synaptic
[09:39] <Derek_Russo> TaJMoX: shoudl I proceed with the rest of the guide anyway?
[09:39] <TaJMoX> yes
[09:39] <trainer__> can anyone help me, I am following the ATI howto for fglrx, and my X server still won't start. fglrxinfo gives me -> Error: unable to open display :0

[09:39] <typedestereo> trying to install kde
[09:40] <AngryElf> what command can I add to crontab to sync with NTP?
[09:40] <TaJMoX> trainer : have you modified your xorg.conf yet?   make sure composite is off and DRI mode is 0666
[09:40] <CSWookie> TaJMoX: Hmm.  The video is all screwy.
[09:40] <trainer__> should I try aserver-xorg-driver-ati instead of fglrx?
[09:40] <Derek_Russo> TaJMoX: when I do sudo aticonfig --initial it says "Found fglrx primary device section
[09:40] <Derek_Russo> Nothing to do, terminating.
[09:40] <bruenig> typedestereo, ok, what does this do "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" (close synaptic or any other package manger before doing this)

[09:42] <scriblle> Does anybody here have experience with installing precompiled kernels?
[09:42] <TaJMoX> typedestereo : go into synaptic, Settings -> Repositories     and check all the boxes
[09:42] <typedestereo> ok
[09:42] <trainer__> man I might actually just go out and buy a new video card for this machine, what is one that I can be sure wont give me too much trouble?
[09:42] <bruenig> TaJMoX, the main repo is enabled by default, that shouldn't matter
[09:42] <bXi> trainer__: i didnt have much issues with my ati x1600xt
[09:43] <sharms> AngryElf: The command to sync time is ntpdate
[09:43] <GionnyBoss> trainer__: nVidia are the best for Linux ;) nVidia drivers rocks ;)
[09:43] <zorglu_> q. what is the package to get the man page of the libc (man open and such) ?
[09:43] <TaJMoX> bruenig looks like its disabled
[09:43] <sharms> zorglu_: manpages-dev
[09:43] <zorglu_> sharms: thanks
[09:43] <typedestereo> eh, I enabled all the repositories anyways
[09:43] <Shamrock_hh> Why do the /dev/sdX devices change each time I reboot? I am using UUIDs, but the actual device nodes change with each reboot.
[09:44] <TaJMoX> kubuntu-desktop should be there
[09:44] <dooglus> scriblle: we've probably all installed precompiled kernels - that's part of the standard install procedure.  what's your real question?
[09:44] <sharms> Shamrock_hh: they dont unless you are constantly re-arranging your drives
[09:44] <Derek_Russo> TaJMoX: I went through all of the steps in the tutorial again and I still see the mesa driver listed
[09:44] <bruenig> typedestereo, whatever, pastebin that stuff
[09:44] <Shamrock_hh> sharms: incorrect. I am not rearranging my drives and they are changing from sda to sdb, sdd, sde randonly.
[09:44] <typedestereo> ...I think synaptic just crashed 0_o
[09:44] <josh36> thank u all the helpers
[09:45] <typedestereo> er never mind
[09:45] <darx> can someone help me with cpu freqency scaling?
[09:45] <sharms> Shamrock_hh: if that is the case you need to file a bug
[09:45] <cached> How would I go about adding a cron job via a bash script?
[09:45] <josh36> i hop i`ll manage
[09:45] <scriblle> dooglus:  question is; how do i install a precompiled kernel that i downloaded from the internet, as advised in this post; http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=313612&highlight=realtime+kernel
[09:45] <bruenig> typedestereo, pastebin.

[09:45] <cached> I know the command I want to run, but how can I add it to cron through a script?

[09:46] <TaJMoX> sgtmattbaker : what's wrong with standard dump ?
[09:46] <typedestereo> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14437/
[09:46] <CpuWhiz> cached: add the bash script to the /etc/cron.<something> folder
[09:46] <sgtmattbaker> standard dump??
[09:46] <Beyond_The_Grav1> OK, does anybody know if you installed ubuntu through the safe graphics mode, what the admin password is?
[09:46] <dooglus> scriblle: those are .deb files - just "sudo dpkg -i blah.deb" to install them
[09:46] <dooglus> scriblle: then update-grub
[09:46] <TaJMoX> sgtmattbaker : oh i forgot dump doesnt come with ubuntu
[09:46] <Beyond_The_Grav1> Does anybody know, if you installed ubuntu through the safe graphics mode, what the admin password is?
[09:47] <scriblle> dooglus: how do i update grub?
[09:47] <CpuWhiz> cached: like /etc/cron.daily
[09:47] <TaJMoX> sgtmattbaker : and i think its for ext2 only nvm
[09:47] <dooglus> scriblle: I think it's "sudo update-grub"
[09:47] <bXi> Beyond_The_Grav1: theres no root/admin password
[09:47] <sharms> Beyond_The_Grav: the admin password is your password.
[09:47] <cached> CpuWhiz: What if I want it to run every 5 minutes?
[09:47] <vbabiy_> Can some one please help me update my monitor in fedora i used system-config-display
[09:47] <Derek_Russo> TaJMoX: does that give you any extra information?
[09:47] <sgtmattbaker> gparted is a partition editor is it not?? how does that make hardware level copies of partitions?
[09:47] <sharms> vbabiy: no go to #fedora.
[09:47] <scriblle> dooglus: thank you so much!!! i will try it, and see if it works for me
[09:47] <CpuWhiz> cached: ah, one sec
[09:47] <typedestereo> so what's my situation?
[09:47] <vbabiy_> sharms, this is for ubuntu
[09:47] <vbabiy_> no fedora
[09:47] <cheeseboy> can i covert gentoo to ubuntu?
[09:48] <bruenig> cached, you are talking about adding a line to crontab from a bash script correct?
[09:48] <tdn> TaJMoX, ok. Can you explain how it will hog the servers? I mean it of course it may increase the load on the particular server I am using, but the duration of this increased load is smaller than the duration of the load if I am using only a single thread. Am I missing something in this analysis?
[09:48] <sharms> vbabiy: what are you trying to  configure with respect to your monitor
[09:48] <TaJMoX> derek_russo youo sure the device in xorg.conf is set to fglrx ?
[09:48] <ramza3> is there a good svn synchronize tool in linux
[09:48] <vbabiy_> well is there a gui tool for configure dual display or res
[09:48] <Derek_Russo> TaJMoX: let me pastebin my whole xorg.conf for you, ok?
[09:48] <Beyond_The_Grav1> Well, when I try to type stuff in the terminal like "su [blah blah blah] " it ask for a password, but it's not the password for my user, so could it be something like "admin" or somethin?
[09:48] <TaJMoX> tdn : you are putting twice the load on the server
[09:48] <sgtmattbaker> sharms: I thought gparted was a partition editor.. how can it copy a partition?  From what I have seen it only edits partitions
[09:48] <TaJMoX> ok derek
[09:48] <cached> bruenig: I just want to get a script to run every 5 minutes, and it should require minimal knowledge of linux from the user
[09:48] <heath_> Beyond_The_Gravl dont use "su" use "sudo"
[09:48] <sharms> sgtmattbaker: visit the page, then ask me
[09:49] <cheeseboy> can i covert gentoo to ubuntu?
[09:49] <dooglus> scriblle: pm me if you have problems.  I'm not watching this channel much
[09:49] <trainer__> TaJMoX I think I am having the same problem as Derek_Russo but my x server won't even start, it wont recognize the device
[09:49] <Beyond_The_Grav1> why?
[09:49] <cached> bruenig: and it is going to be downloaded, so I can't just do it for them
[09:49] <srjames> cheeseboy: what do you mean convert ?
[09:49] <Shamrock_hh> sharms: should mount report the uuid or not? Can you explain the role of /dev/mapper please? I found nothing in google.
[09:49] <bruenig> cached, the first question you asked sounded like you wanted the script to add a cron entry, now it sounds like you want the script to be run from cron
[09:49] <heath_> Beyond_the_Gravl you use sudo to run commands as "super user", "su" just means to switch to root
[09:49] <mhiku> how to convert flv to mp4?
[09:49] <Beyond_The_Grav1> Why use sudo instead of su?
[09:50] <CpuWhiz> cached: add this to the /etc/crontab: */5 * * * * root /path/to/script
[09:50] <cheeseboy> srjames well install over it without a cd
[09:50] <cached> bruenig: I was thinking it would be easiest to have a script edit the cron so that another script is run
[09:50] <heath_> Beyond_the_Gravl because you never really need to become root with ubuntu
[09:50] <Shamrock_hh> Beyond_The_Grav1: because its safer for one shot commands.
[09:50] <sharms> Shamrock_hh: All of my ubuntu systems dont use the uuid
[09:50] <cached> CpuWhiz: How do I make adding that automated?
[09:50] <Derek_Russo> TaJMoX: here is the pastebin http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14438/
[09:50] <Beyond_The_Grav1> Even to do something like "su apt-get install wpasupplicant"?
[09:50] <tdn> TaJMoX, yeah. Twice the load in half the time, right? Say I need to download n bytes and this takes me m minutes using one thread. Then if I am using two threads, I will increase the load on the server by a factor of two, but I will only use the server for m/2 minutes. Agree?
[09:50] <CpuWhiz> cached: huh?
[09:50] <typedestereo> I hate to sound annoying, but what should I do now?
[09:50] <anick> cheeseboy: you can't install from a cd?
[09:50] <sgtmattbaker> sharms: the page has a gparted and clonezilla LiveCD.. I am assuming the Clonezilla app will do what I want?  I am currently downloading clonezilla-live-20070323.iso from clonezilla.sourceforge.net, should I cancel and download the gparted live?
[09:51] <scriblle> ooh, also everytime i boot. i have to type sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper
[09:51] <scriblle> to get my wireless to boot up
[09:51] <heath_> Beyond_The_Gravl that command doesnt make sense you are trying to super user into a user named "apt-get"
[09:51] <cheeseboy> anick im out of cds
[09:51] <scriblle> how can i set my ubuntu to do this automatically?
[09:51] <marek_> ty
[09:51] <TaJMoX> tdn it doesnt matter how long you are on the server for - point is you're making it work harder and slowing stuff down for everyone else who uses 1 thread
[09:51] <ShackJack> For anyone interested, I wrote a simple tutorial to have a custom , ahem, Windows-like "Start Menu" on your GNOME panel.

[09:51] <cached> I have a script that needs to execute every 5 minutes by whoever downloads it.   How do I make a type of "install" script that just gets the original script to execute every 5 minutes?
[09:51] <Fireal> sudo = superuser do, su is to logon as superuser
[09:52] <Whtiger> How do I stop X from running?
[09:52] <TaJMoX> ShackJack Thanks but I like my ubuntu icon
[09:52] <Whtiger> It's already running, I just want to stop it
[09:52] <Beyond_The_Grav1> OK, well, nvm the last command, I already tried that with sudo too.... but it still asked for a password that wasn't the one I logon with... so what now?
[09:52] <bruenig> typedestereo, not that this should matter but try "sudo sed 's/^ //g' -i.backup /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop"
[09:52] <Derek_Russo> TaJMoX: does the xorg.conf file check out?
[09:52] <sharms> Whtiger: /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[09:52] <Suurorca> Fireal: well, you can use su to switch to any user if you specify the name also. it just default to root
[09:52] <sgtmattbaker> oh.. I was a bit skeptical because in my limited use I have not seen really ANYONE on the forums or anywhere else talk about anything other than PartImage, NortonGhost or Device Image
[09:52] <heath_> Beyond_The_Gravl make sure you are typing your password correctly
[09:52] <vbabiy_> !beryl
[09:52] <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
[09:52] <Whtiger> thanks
[09:52] <ShackJack> TaJMoX - still has the ubuntu icon - but added text "menu" next to it in lovely Ubuntu type (or whatever you want to replace it with)
[09:52] <sgtmattbaker> so Clonezilla is the top dog right now?
[09:52] <Beyond_The_Grav1> I did, but it's the wrong one
[09:52] <Fireal> Suurorca:  true, true...just keeping it simple
[09:53] <CpuWhiz> cached: you can always have the "install" script echo "<the line>" >> /etc/crontab as root or something
[09:53] <Whtiger> sharms: does that work in kubuntu?
[09:53] <Kirk> Is Ubuntu able to get outside software?  Or can outside software be imported via Applications/Add/Remove?  I can't get terminal SU to accept my password but it works fine from GUI popup requests.
[09:53] <sharms> sgtmattbaker: it was just released a month ago, so it doesnt have a ton of support yet from the community
[09:53] <cached> Essentially, I'm making a site which CpuWhiz: won't that overwrite everything in there?
[09:53] <heath_> Beyond_The_Gravl is your terminal set to your user or to root?
[09:53] <sharms> Whtiger: /etc/init.d/kdm stop
[09:53] <cached> CpuWhiz: ignore the first part
[09:53] <typedestereo> ...
[09:53] <sgtmattbaker> sharms: but it works doesn't it?
[09:53] <typedestereo> this is a bit of a problem
[09:53] <Whtiger> okay, thanks sharms
[09:53] <Beyond_The_Grav1> I don't know how would I check?
[09:53] <CpuWhiz> cached: a > overwrites, a >> appends
[09:54] <typedestereo> it's saying I need to insert the install cd, but my disc drive is fried
[09:54] <cached> Cpuwhiz: oh
[09:54] <sharms> sgtmattbaker: It should
[09:54] <Lunar_Lamp> I'm using Edgy, and in previous versions there was a program that allowed me to create my own menu entries, but i can't remember what it was called and it doesn't have it's own menu entry.  How can I create a menu entry now?
[09:54] <heath_> Beyond_The_Gravl is it "root@whater" or "your_user@whatever"?
[09:54] <typedestereo> it's the main reason I'm not doing this from a cd
[09:54] <TaJMoX> Derek_Russo : see how you have two Driver: fglrx lines?    make the first one vesa (the one with the PCI:0:1 blah)     and leave the second as fglrx .... thats how my conf is
[09:54] <Beyond_The_Grav1> the second one
[09:54] <Derek_Russo> ok
[09:54] <cached> cpuwhiz: Thanks!!
[09:54] <SomaFM> does anyone know a command to open a new terminal window of the same size as the one the command was typed in?
[09:54] <Derek_Russo> I had that before, but changed it a while ago at someone's advice
[09:55] <Kirk> Is Ubuntu able to get outside software?  Or can outside software be imported via Applications/Add/Remove?  I can't get terminal SU to accept my password but it works fine from GUI popup requests.
[09:55] <TaJMoX> Derek_Russo : also I had to completely restart my machine after installing fglrx - not just the X server
[09:55] <heath_> Beyond_The_Gravl then when you type "sudo apt-get update" it will prompt you for a password. this is asking for your USER password
[09:55] <Derek_Russo> TaJMoX: I will restart now
[09:56] <Beyond_The_Grav1> I know that, but I type it in exactly how it should be and it doesn't let me do it
[09:56] <Kirk> I had high hopes for Ubuntu but now it's looking like I'll have to return to Windows.
[09:56] <heath_> Beyond_The_Gravl what does the terminal message come back with after "sudo apt-get update"
[09:56] <Fireal> Kirk:  what are you trying to do?
[09:56] <stepanstas> I recently mounted my windows drive to linux, only root has acces to it, can i change that?
[09:56] <Beyond_The_Grav1> Password:
[09:56] <Beyond_The_Grav1> Then greg@whatever
[09:56] <ShackJack> Poor Kirk :(
[09:57] <Beyond_The_Grav1> That's it
[09:57] <Kirk> Fireal - I'm trying to get a C program delivered by email to run in Ubuntu
[09:57] <sharms> sgtmattbaker: make sure you are using a recent version.  http://gparted.free.fr/GParted-Clonezilla/gparted-clonezilla-1.7.iso   -- is from march 28 2007
[09:57] <heath_> Beyond_The_Gravl do this "sudo gedit /etc/hosts
[09:57] <Derek_Russo> TaJMoX: so after restart I still am in the same situation
[09:58] <sgtmattbaker> sharms: ok.. I started the download but it is taking 2.5 hrs!
[09:58] <Beyond_The_Grav1> Well, I'm not on it, I'm trying to get my wireless, so I wouldn't be talking to you if I we're on ubuntu
[09:58] <TaJMoX> Derek_Russo did you change the first driver to vesa?
[09:58] <Derek_Russo> TaJMoX: Yes
[09:58] <TaJMoX> hmm i dunno
[09:59] <TaJMoX> try the official ATI binary driver from their web site ?
[09:59] <typedestereo> so if I'm correctly understanding what's happened so far, the only way for me to install kde is to fix my cd rom drive?
[09:59] <Beyond_The_Grav1> But give me the other things I might have to look for
[09:59] <Derek_Russo> TaJMoX: I tried that but I get an error when I try to install
[09:59] <heath_> Beyond_The_Gravl well then all i can say is that it is asking for your user password because when you setup your account it added you to the list of users that can run "sudo"
[09:59] <Derek_Russo> TaJMoX: let me show you what I get
[09:59] <Kirk> What email do I use to complain to Ubuntu's developers?
[09:59] <Derek_Russo> TaJMoX: when I do this chmod +x ati-driver-installer-8.26.18-x86.run
[09:59] <Derek_Russo> ./ati-driver-installer-8.26.18-x86.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/dapper
[09:59] <ShackJack> Settle down, Kirk...
[09:59] <bladefallcon> anyone know of a channel i might get some help with open office? specifically spreadsheet?
[09:59] <Fireal> Kirk:  a program written in C?
[09:59] <sharms> Kirk: dont bother
[10:00] <cables> Kirk, if you've got a bug, report it
[10:00] <cables> !bug | Kirk
[10:00] <ubotu> Kirk: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.ubuntu.com/  -  Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/products/ubuntu-bots
[10:00] <justmessenger__> anyone know a way to prevent people from flooding you out of IRC? in #politics everytime I say something they flood me off
[10:00] <Derek_Russo> TaJMoX: I get this ./ati-installer.sh: 163: Syntax error: Bad substitution
[10:00] <TaJMoX> Derek_russo weird.... as sudo right?
[10:00] <Beyond_The_Grav1> OK, but when I type that last command you gave me heath, what should I be looking for?
[10:01] <stepanstas> Can i change permissions for a root file to a user file
[10:01] <justmessenger__> I am running firestarter ... need help everytime i say something in # politics somebody is flooding me
[10:01] <Derek_Russo> TaJMoX: oh wow, I hope I was typing sudo before.. heh, let me try again
[10:01] <bruenig> stepanstas, you can chown it
[10:01] <Derek_Russo> TaJMoX: yeah, same error
[10:01] <cables> !offtopic | justmessenger__
[10:01] <ubotu> justmessenger__: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[10:01] <heath_> Beyond_The_Gravl it should just come up with your hosts list and allow you to make changes i.e. NOT be READ-ONLY you should have superuser access to the file
[10:01] <Beyond_The_Grav1> Sorry ^_^
[10:02] <typedestereo> thanks for your help TaJMoX and bruenig, I'll just get a new disc drive and install it throught the conventional method
[10:02] <stepanstas> bruenig, its locotion is /mnt/win
[10:02] <stepanstas> what do i do?
[10:02] <bruenig> typedestereo, did that work?
[10:02] <Kirk> Fireal: yes it's written in C.  The programmer gave me lots of help on what to type into the terminal but SU won't accept my password so I can't run the program commands he suggests from his linux.
[10:02] <Beyond_The_Grav1> Do i need to change anything or just look for a peice of text saying something?
[10:02] <bruenig> stepanstas, sudo chown $USER -R /mnt/win
[10:02] <typedestereo> bruenig: it's prompting me for the breezy badger installcd
[10:02] <typedestereo> but my cdrom drive is dead
[10:02] <bruenig> typedestereo, you can remove that line from the sources.list and it wont' prompt you
[10:02] <heath_> Beyond_The_Gravl It will say at the top of the window it will say "GEDIT and the file name" if it is read only then it will display "Read-Only"
[10:03] <typedestereo> ...oh?
[10:03] <typedestereo> how do I do that?
[10:03] <sharms> Kirk: dont blame ubuntu because you refuse to read documentation for 15 seconds
[10:03] <Derek_Russo> TaJMoX: any idea how I can go about troubleshooting that error?
[10:03] <stepanstas> bruenig, thats, doign it now
[10:03] <Beyond_The_Grav1> Change it to read and write?
[10:03] <sharms> Kirk: you can't "su" to root because root doesnt have a password by default.  You can however, "sudo su -" if you wanted
[10:03] <Beyond_The_Grav1> or no
[10:04] <bruenig> typedestereo, sudo sed '/deb cdrom/d' -i /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:04] <sharms> Kirk: that is 100% your problem, not ours.
[10:04] <Fireal> Kirk:  hmm... your terminal says yourusername@computername right?
[10:04] <orzeh> hello!
[10:04] <eck> uh, use sudo -i not sudo su -
[10:04] <ezenu> Anyone know of a good guide for installing WinXP on a separate partition/drive, while not screwing up Ubuntu (the boot loader)? Usually the guides are for the other way around
[10:04] <heath_> Beyond_The_Gravl all I'm suggesting is to open the file to see if sudo works
[10:04] <typedestereo> entered
[10:04] <sharms> eck: same thing
[10:04] <Beyond_The_Grav1> OK, well, thank you! ^_^
[10:04] <tsikis> hi there
[10:04] <Beyond_The_Grav1> Hopefully be seeing you on ubuntu
[10:04] <Beyond_The_Grav1> ^_^
[10:04] <heath_> Beyond_The_Gravl hehe yeah I hope so as well
[10:04] <Beyond_The_Grav1> If I can get 6.10 installed
[10:04] <Beyond_The_Grav1> @_@#
[10:05] <typedestereo> ...but doesn't sudo normally prompt you for a password?
[10:05] <heath_> Beyond_The_Gravl It will hopefully be very painless
[10:05] <Kirk> Fireal: Yes
[10:05] <eck> typedestereo: that is the default behavior (you can change it to not prompt you though)
[10:05] <bruenig> typedestereo, don't worry about it, ok so sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get instlal kubuntu-desktop
[10:05] <tsikis> i got a small problem i just resized with gparted my partition of winxp to make a fat32 partition so i can move files around, but i dont know how to mount the partition(fat32) ?
[10:05] <bruenig> typedestereo, it didn't prompt because you have used sudo in the last 15 min
[10:05] <Beyond_The_Grav1> Yeah, but mine freaks out, doesn't go through the rest of the installer, and the graphics are funny...
[10:06] <typedestereo> ah
[10:06] <Fireal> Kirk:  try sudo rather than su
[10:06] <sharms> Fireal: I already explained that to him
[10:06] <Fireal> Ohh sorry
[10:06] <sharms> Fireal: he refuses to read anything
[10:06] <trainer__> I don't think fglrx supports my graphics card (Radeon 7000). what can I do?
[10:06] <sharms> trainer__: the open source radeon driver probably works with it
[10:07] <Beyond_The_Grav1> Does ubuntu support a ATI Radeon x800 XL?
[10:07] <sharms> trainer__: I got a 9600 using compiz no problem right now with feisty
[10:07] <trainer__> sharms, package name?
[10:07] <digits> I have this typical problem with www-data taking ownage of files it create, which ofcourse makes sense, but can i make it so that I, as regular, can edit files apache creates without making it writable to all users on the system?
[10:07] <mjr> Beyond, yeah, I've that one, it does
[10:07] <alek66> I get a E: graphviz-cairo: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127 how can I fix this
[10:07] <typedestereo> it seems to be working now
[10:07] <jen> join #linuxmint.com
[10:07] <sharms> trainer__: should be xorg-driver-ati or something along those lines.  Do an apt-cache search --names-only xorg | grep ati
[10:07] <Beyond_The_Grav1> Hmm... I wonder if it's the CD?
[10:07] <sharms> jen: no.
[10:07] <heath_> !ati | Beyond_The_Gravl
[10:07] <ubotu> Beyond_The_Gravl: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[10:08] <trainer__> sharms, I have that ati package installed already, maybe it's not being used in my xorg.comf
[10:08] <bruenig> typedestereo, good
[10:08] <Derek_Russo> heath: do you know anything about the ATI install process?
[10:08] <mjr> Beyond_The_Grav1, hm, actually, not sure if there's still in edgy the bug that one needs to use the "radeon" driver directly in xorg.conf instead of "ati"
[10:08] <sharms> trainer__: you have to add specific options to make it work with the pretty stuff, join #ubuntu-effects
[10:08] <typedestereo> now I have another question which will probably be harder to answer: where should I start if I want to learn c++?
[10:08] <typedestereo> sourceforge?
[10:08] <gnychis> anyone use gtkpod with ubuntu?  is it possible to integrate it with totem?
[10:08] <alek66> how can I fix the E: graphviz-cairo: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127 after every time i install somethin
[10:08] <heath_> Derek_Russo not much about ATI :/
[10:08] <mjr> Beyond_The_Grav1, and btw, you don't need the proprietary driver
[10:08] <sharms> typedestereo: no way don't even look at source forge
[10:08] <eck> typedestereo: honestly, buy a book
[10:08] <typedestereo> heh, ok
[10:08] <sharms> typedestereo: just remember, you will be very intimidated at first, and you may need to re-read chapters
[10:08] <Derek_Russo> mrj: what is that about using radeon?  Can you give me a little more info on it?
[10:09] <typedestereo> yeah, I'm fine with that
[10:09] <sharms> typedestereo: I used to be a c / c++ programmer, but lately python has met all my needs, you might want to check it out
[10:09] <gnychis> whats the best app for ipod integration with ubuntu?
[10:09] <heath_> Derek_Russo did you read a bit at that ati driver site?
[10:09] <heath_> !ati | Derek_Russo
[10:09] <ubotu> Derek_Russo: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[10:10] <Derek_Russo> heath: oh yes, I've tried it many times, anda ll the troubleshooting steps, and installing the driver from ATI (which gives me a syntax error)
[10:10] <Beyond_The_Grav1> Oh well, c u l8er!
[10:10] <dedboy92> does any1 know how to install speedtouch 121g driverson uuntu 7.04
[10:10] <Kirk> Fireal: Thanks for your advice. sharms gave advice that would not work according to eck at 13:04:32: sudo su.
[10:10] <heath_> Derek_Russo :/ darn that is no good
[10:10] <archels> I type "mkdir SDL", and it makes "sdl". NTFS filesystem. What the hell?
[10:10] <alek66> anyone? a little help
[10:10] <sharms> Kirk: my advice 100% works
[10:11] <Kirk> Ok I'll try both
[10:11] <Kirk> Thanks.
[10:11] <EADG> gnychis: gtkpod & yamipod come to mind.
[10:11] <Fireal> Kirk:  good luck!!
[10:11] <trainer__> sharms yesssss, I changed fglrx to ati and it works now
[10:11] <sharms> Kirk: "sudo su -" and "sudo -i" are equal.  Dont try to punk out someone with over 10 years of linux experience.
[10:11] <Derek_Russo> mjr: what was that xorg.conf bug you were talkin about with ATI/Radeon cards?
[10:11] <jen> ne1 point me to a tutorial for x-chat?
[10:11] <sharms> trainer__: awesome
[10:11] <dedboy92> any1 know about wireless drivers on fiesty ive hit a brick wall
[10:11] <typedestereo> jen: press the help tab
[10:11] <typedestereo> it's comprehensive
[10:11] <jen> did. get error
[10:11] <sharms> !tell dedboy92 about wireless
[10:11] <nickk> does anyone know if it's possible to make the splash screen for Ubuntu full screen? all i'm finding on gnome-art is very small ones...
[10:12] <typedestereo> odd
[10:12] <Derek_Russo> trainer__: what did you do to get it to work?
[10:12] <gnychis> EADG: have you gotten gtkpod integrated with totem?
[10:12] <Derek_Russo> sharms: what did trainer do to get his ati card tow ork?
[10:12] <jen> yeah, I agree. odd. trying to switch to irc.spotchat.org. No idea how
[10:12] <sharms> Derek_Russo: switch to open source driver.  #ubuntu-effects can help you
[10:12] <typedestereo> type /server irc.spotchat.org
[10:13] <jen> aha. thx so much!!
[10:13] <Derek_Russo> sharms: does that support 3D?\
[10:13] <sharms> Derek_Russo: depends on the model
[10:13] <Derek_Russo> sharms: I have a radeon x9000 series
[10:13] <EADG> gnychis: No, never tried.
[10:14] <alek66> Has anyone had this problem after installing a pkg
[10:14] <alek66> E: graphviz-cairo: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127
[10:14] <tdn> Why can't I assign a static network configuration on my network interface in Kubuntu? I do *not* want to use DHCP on this device. For some reason it does not get the IP address that I defined in /etc/network/interfaces. Can something be overruling it?
[10:14] <sharms> Derek_Russo: not familiar with that you have to ask the graphics people
[10:14] <Derek_Russo> alright, thanks sharms

[10:29] <reep> well, you can do that with chown, or you can run nautilus as root and to it graphically
[10:29] <hyper_ch> harry: you know where the file is?

[10:30] <rob07> hello, i am new to ubuntu, and i can't get my screen resolution higher then 1024x768, can someone help me?
[10:30] <Trist_an> rob07, what is your graphic card and what should be the resolution of your screen?
[10:31] <b^j> Desmaano: you can run chown as root, but be careful what you change, some things need to be owned by root
[10:31] <b^j> Desmaano: suid files in particular
[10:31] <rob07> Trist_an: i have an ATIx300, and the resolution should be 1280x800
[10:31] <Desmaano> suid files?
[10:32] <Trist_an> rob07, can you pastebin your xorg.conf
[10:32] <Trist_an> rob07, do you use fglrx driver?
[10:32] <b^j> Desmaano: files that retain the privileges of their ownership when executed
[10:32] <don_jr__> what file holds the eth0 configureations please
[10:32] <lufis> Man, I will be glad when xorg doens't need all the configuring
[10:32] <rob07> Trist_an: i don't know, i just installed ubuntu
[10:32] <lineman60> when ever my screen saver comes on it kills my x server, is there a way for me it 1) dissable 2) chage my screen saver from the command line?
[10:32] <Trist_an> lufis, so do I ;)
[10:32] <b^j> Desmaano: for instance ping, as you need root access to write raw ip info
[10:33] <b^j> Desmaano: also su, sudo, passwd, lots of stuff
[10:33] <reep> don_jr__: should all be in /etc/network/interfaces
[10:33] <don_jr__> reep thanks alot!
[10:33] <Trist_an> rob07, do in terminal more /etc/X11/xorg.conf and look at the lines where there is Section "Screen"
[10:33] <Desmaano> b^j: but can i safely change the owner of a harddisk where is no os on, just data?
[10:33] <b^j> Desmaano: sure
[10:34] <cached> How do I force gnome-terminal to ask me for the root password when I do sudo again?
[10:34] <reep> Desmaano: did you get the raid working?
[10:34] <Desmaano> reep: i did :)
[10:34] <reep> Desmaano: nice :)
[10:34] <cached> as in, how do i do a "log out" of the sudo session?
[10:34] <dynaemu> Is there a way to have desktop ubuntu work as a server, if you install apache, php, etc etc?
[10:34] <jason_> hi all sup
[10:34] <cached> dynaemu: yes
[10:34] <Desmaano> its not yet accesible by the other systems in the network but its allmost there
[10:34] <lufis> cached: you can just wait for like 10 minuites. It resets shortly after you using it
[10:35] <b^j> my lvm volumes won't mount on boot, i need to run pvscan and all that to get it to mount, can anyone give me a hand?
[10:35] <typedestereo> so now when I restart, I'll be able to use kde?
[10:35] <jason_> how can i install yahooo messenger for ubuntu 6.06
[10:35] <Desmaano> ok how do i run chown in terminal ??
[10:35] <bruenig> jason_, you don't want to
[10:35] <rob07> Trist_an: yes, i see that section
[10:35] <typedestereo> jason_: use gaim instead
[10:35] <lufis> Desmaano: are you changing root files?
[10:35] <b^j> Desmaano: sudo chown user:group files
[10:35] <lufis> jason_: kopete is also an option
[10:35] <b^j> Desmaano: toss a -R if you need recursive
[10:36] <jason_> it dont have webcam gaim dont
[10:36] <Trist_an> can you pastebin this part
[10:36] <lufis> jason_: kopete has webcam integration
[10:36] <bruenig> jason_, it is the biggest piece of garbage ever, it is 5-6 versions behind, getting it won't enable webcam, it wont' do anything
[10:36] <Desmaano> what is group b^j
[10:36] <compengi> jason_, why do you need yahoo messenger? you got a nice gaim client
[10:36] <typedestereo> I'm going to restart to make sure the install worked
[10:36] <b^j> Desmaano: what ever group you want, often the user or group
[10:36] <typedestereo> be right back
[10:36] <bruenig> typedestereo, that isn't really necessary, just log out and then change session
[10:36] <amicrawler> hey people this is going to sound stupid
[10:36] <typedestereo> oh
[10:36] <reep> Desmaano: type groups to see what groups you are a member of
[10:36] <sharms> lufis: I dont have time to help you, but I know the gentoo wiki has a good page on lvm
[10:37] <lufis> sharms: not me :P
[10:37] <b^j> Desmaano: that should read the user name of the word users
[10:37] <amicrawler> but how do i install deb files from the net?
[10:37] <jason_> well is there a program i can use with gaim to use my web cam and see other people web cam on yahoo
[10:37] <lufis> amicrawler: Download them, then double click them
[10:37] <sharms> b^j: I dont have time to help you, but I know the gentoo wiki has a good page on lvm
[10:37] <lufis> jason_: sudo apt-get install kopete
[10:37] <amicrawler> that it?
[10:37] <gerscht> amicrawler: dpkg -i filename.deb
[10:37] <lufis> amicrawler: yep :)
[10:37] <sharms> b^j: in a nutshell: pvscan to figure out your physical drives, vgscan to see your volume groups, and lvscan to see your logical volumes
[10:37] <rob07> Trist_an: pastebin has a problem, do you know any other sites i could use?
[10:37] <lufis> amicrawler: as long as you're using a recent version of ubuntu
[10:37] <compengi> jason_, here you go http://messenger.yahoo.com/unix.php
[10:37] <sharms> b^j: you will have entries for the lvscan output in your /etc/fstab
[10:37] <Desmaano> nothing seems to happen when i type: sudo chown <user> /media/files
[10:38] <b^j> sharms: lvm works like a dream, the problem is something isn't getting initialized on boot
[10:38] <nicolah> what's the difference between primary or extended partition ? thanks
[10:38] <amicrawler> i'm using 6.10
[10:38] <b^j> sharms: i have them in my fstab file
[10:38] <reep> Desmaano: ls -ld /media/files
[10:38] <lufis> amicrawler: alright, then it should allow you to install it via gui
[10:38] <compengi> jason_, this one is better http://www.brothersoft.com/downloads/yahoo!-messenger.html
[10:38] <jason_> so that inabels web for gaim right
[10:38] <Trist_an> rob07, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ has no problem...
[10:38] <sharms> b^j: /etc/fstab controls what is mounted and how it is mounted, you have 30 seconds to pastebin the output of dmesg, fstab, and lvscan
[10:38] <don_jr__> I"m doing a manual upgrade from dapper to edgy, it's finished with the download and the ubuntu configuration has popped up and I don't know what choice to make...any advice?
[10:38] <b^j> sharms: that all works, just not automatically
[10:38] <compengi> jason_, i didn't get you?
[10:39] <Desmaano> reep: what ?
[10:39] <pureStylezz> ehm
[10:39] <lufis> jason_: Gaim doesn't support webcams. Kopete does, however
[10:39] <pureStylezz> anyone willing to help a linux n00b? :o
[10:39] <rob07> Trist_an: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14444/
[10:39] <sharms> !tell purestylezz about ask
[10:39] <jason_>  kopete will let u use web in gaim messenger
[10:39] <reep> Desmaano: ls -ld /media/files will show the permissions and ownership of that directory
[10:39] <dubbyah> what would the best programming language be to write software that randomly selects a different font for each character typed (or x amount of characters before font change)?
[10:39] <lufis> jason_: No, they're two different applications
[10:39] <pureStylezz> :D
[10:39] <pureStylezz> Well.
[10:39] <jason_> o
[10:40] <pureStylezz> I installed my first linux distro on my laptop ( ubuntu )
[10:40] <lufis> jason_: Kopete is for kde but it works fine in gnome.
[10:40] <compengi> jason_, of course not
[10:40] <lufis> jason_: Install it via the terminal using sudo apt-get install kopete
[10:40] <jason_> well could i use wine and install yahoo messenger for windows and use it like that
[10:40] <compengi> jason_, you are installing different clients
[10:40] <bruenig> jason_, doubt it
[10:40] <pureStylezz> and after the install, it went well..i could see the login prompt.. etc.. i enter my login. and i dont see anything, just the background.. i can move my mouse around but there is no icons.. only 2 grey bars.
[10:40] <lufis> jason_: Perhaps, if all else fails
[10:40] <pureStylezz> alt+f2 does nothing.
[10:40] <reep> Desmaano: or you can of course just right-click in nautilus and select properties
[10:40] <Desmaano> and how to use chown ??
[10:40] <bruenig> jason_, kind of don't see wine supporting webcam integration
[10:40] <compengi> jason_, if it will work not all the options would be working fine
[10:40] <b^j> Desmaano: man chown
[10:40] <lufis> Desmaano: what files do you want to change?
[10:40] <Trist_an> rob07, back up your xorg.conf to xorg.conf_BACKUP and then modify the two sections that I'll show you in pastebin
[10:41] <bruenig> !webcam
[10:41] <Desmaano> reep: permissions tab, all options are grey/disabled
[10:41] <sharms> pureStylezz: how about ctrl-alt-f2
[10:41] <ubotu> Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[10:41] <tdn> Every time I reboot my /etc/motd gets overwritten with the default one. Why is that?
[10:41] <b^j> Desmaano: basically chown <user name>:<group name> <files>
[10:41] <reep> Desmaano: try sudo nautilus /media/files, then right click, and all options should be available
[10:41] <bruenig> tdn, must be in the init scripts
[10:41] <sharms> pureStylezz: also what is your hardware for graphics?
[10:41] <pureStylezz> ctrl alt f2 goes to tty2
[10:41] <pureStylezz> ATI Radeon mobile 9xxx
[10:41] <stepansta1> How can i unmount mnt/windows_c
[10:42] <sharms> pureStylezz: and version of ubuntu you are trying?
[10:42] <jason_> ekiga what is that program
[10:42] <b^j> anyone know how to get lvm to scan my volumes on boot?
[10:42] <Puppy__> I want to download something but I can't get it in synaptic. How do I add a web download to it? The one I want to add is at this web site:
[10:42] <pureStylezz> I tryed 6.10 first, it did that also
[10:42] <Puppy__> http://tcts.fpms.ac.be/synthesis/mbrola/
[10:42] <Trist_an> rob07, it might be difficult judging from my xorg.conf. Do you use gnome?
[10:42] <pureStylezz> so someone told me i should try the beta
[10:42] <lufis> stepansta1: sudo umount /mnt/windows_c
[10:42] <pureStylezz> but same thing, same problem.
[10:42] <amicrawler> trying to install frozen bubble 2
[10:42] <amicrawler> getting errors
[10:42] <pureStylezz> im trying sudo dpk --configure -a right now
[10:42] <sharms> pureStylezz: run an integrity check on the cd
[10:42] <pureStylezz> ill try to update and install gdm
[10:42] <tdn> bruenig, that didn't help me much!
[10:42] <pureStylezz> how?
[10:42] <sharms> pureStylezz: when it boots up it will say check media integrity
[10:42] <rob07> Trist_an: ok
[10:42] <pureStylezz> ok
[10:42] <digits> \q
[10:43] <sharms> pureStylezz: FYI I am running a mobility 9600 1280x800 with 3d effects turned on, no problem
[10:43] <rob07> Trist_an: yes i do
[10:43] <pureStylezz> huh
[10:43] <stepansta1> lufis, it says unmounted but the folder is still there
[10:43] <pureStylezz> i always have problems
[10:43] <pureStylezz> ~_~
[10:43] <don_jr__> What's the command to turn off auth0 and turn it back on?  something like ifno auth0  or similar?
[10:43] <lufis> stepansta1: Yeah, the folder is the mount point. When you open it is it empty?
[10:43] <Trist_an> rob07, isn't there a system configuration tool that allows to adjust the display?
[10:44] <reep> don_jr__: sudo ifdown <ifacename> and sudo ifup <ifacename> to get it back up
[10:44] <don_jr__> thanks
[10:44] <stepansta1> lufis, gotta
[10:44] <don_jr__> reep thanks alot!!
[10:44] <Trist_an> rob07, I used the one in KDE to configure my 1200x800 screen because I wasn't able to get it worked properly after the install and even after modifying xorg.conf
[10:44] <aClockworkOrange> 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' should work i think
[10:44] <bruenig> tdn, the only init script I see that has something to do with /etc/motd is /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
[10:45] <mike1980> HI guys I am getting this error when starting proftpd " IPv6 getaddrinfo 'LAMP.phub.net.cable.rogers.com' error: Name or service not known
[10:45] <rob07> Trist_an: i dont really know, i'm pretty knew to all this...
[10:45] <stepansta1> lufis, thanks for that
[10:45] <lufis> stepansta1: no prob. Is the folder empty?
[10:45] <larson9999> getting ready to ubuntu on a laptop with 512mb ram. i like both xubuntu and ubuntu(kubuntu, too for that matter). is 512 fine with gnome or should i go with xubuntu?
[10:46] <HyperDevi> hello, when i do echo -e "line1\nline2" it prints 2 lines, but the second line has a space at the beginning, how i can remove that?
[10:46] <lufis> larson9999: 512 is more than enough :)
[10:46] <aClockworkOrange> 512 is more than enough for any of the above
[10:46] <Trist_an> rob07, I think in the system menu there should be something
[10:46] <tdn> bruenig, *why* does it overwrite my motd file?!
[10:46] <Firefoxman> how can I startx on display 0
[10:46] <Firefoxman> *display 1
[10:46] <bruenig> tdn, I don't know, I don't even know that that does, check out that script, maybe you can figure it out
[10:46] <jason_> the kopete works fine thanks guy
[10:46] <lufis> jason_: no problem :)
[10:46] <tore_> Hi newbie here :)  what is a GDM screen.
[10:46] <reep> Firefoxman: I think: startx -- :1
[10:46] <larson9999> aClockworkOrange: well, i notice a BIG difference between kubuntu and xubuntu on another machine that 512mb ram.  maybe it's not the ram that's the fault.
[10:47] <dooglus> tore_: that's the login screen
[10:47] <pureStylezz> gnome display manager
[10:47] <pureStylezz> :P
[10:47] <rob07> Trist_an: oh yes, i know about that, but when i use it to set the screen res at 1280x800 and higher, the screen gets all screwy...
[10:47] <b^j> lvm isn't scanning my volumes on boot so fstab won't mount them, anyone know how to fix that?
[10:47] <lufis> tore_: gdm is the login screen that shows up after boot
[10:47] <tore_> ah
[10:47] <stepansta1> lufis, yes the folder was empty afterwords
[10:47] <tore_> thanks
[10:47] <lufis> stepansta1: ah, there you go then. It will fill back up if you remount it.
[10:47] <stepansta1> lufis, one more thing, how do i delete with terminal?
[10:47] <mike1980> how do I disable IPV6
[10:47] <dragonmc> hey guys, i'm having a problem mounting a smbfs share.  mount //server/share /mnt/mntpoint was working on Fedora on this machine, but since switching to ubuntu, it gives me a  wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock
[10:47] <lufis> stepansta1: If you never want to mount it again, that is?
[10:47] <b^j> stepansta1: rm <file>
[10:47] <jason_> i have 512 ram and 2.0 ghz processor and ubuntu runs great on my computer
[10:47] <larson9999> so dell's going to solve all our driver woas?
[10:48] <stepansta1> lufis, yes, i dont
[10:48] <stepansta1> thanks b^j
[10:48] <nonuda> what is the apt-get command to fix a broken packages?
[10:48] <HyperDevi> hello, when i do: echo -e "line1\nline2" it prints 2 lines, but the second line has a space at the beginning, how i can remove that?
[10:48] <lufis> stepansta1: ok then, sudo rm <directory path>
[10:48] <sharms> larson9999: no, buying hardware from vendors that have drivers for linux will.
[10:48] <Trist_an> rob07, I could post my xorg.conf but it is pretty modified to make the 1200x800 resolution. So I don't know if it would work for you
[10:48] <jason_> i think its apt-get update -f
[10:48] <larson9999> sharms: yeah.  i get most of my hw out of the garbage bin.
[10:48] <b^j> stepansta1: to remove a directory you need a -r
[10:49] <mike1980> HI guys I am getting this error when starting proftpd " IPv6 getaddrinfo 'LAMP.phub.net.cable.rogers.com' error: Name or service not known
[10:49] <rob07> Trist_an: i would need 1280x800
[10:49] <sharms> larson9999: then it would be quite obvious dell would not help your hardware in the current time
[10:49] <b^j> jason_: apt-get -f is force, it depends how the package is "broken"
[10:49] <b^j> if that is correct
[10:49] <Trist_an> rob07, then I will post my xorg.conf but be sure you have backed up your before modifying it
[10:49] <rob07> Trist_an: yes
[10:49] <tbuss> mike1980: add your box's name to the IPv6 info in /etc/hosts:
[10:50] <stepansta1> lufis, im new, it says cannot delete, could this be because of permitions?
[10:50] <fran1> Did Nelson Mandela make Ubuntu possible?
[10:50] <lufis> stepansta1: Did you do it as sudo?
[10:50] <aClockworkOrange> fran1: lol
[10:50] <fran1> lufis
[10:50] <mike1980> tbuss: did that already
[10:50] <arooni> hey folks
[10:50] <jason_> what is the best p2p program for this kind system
[10:50] <Desmaano> thanks alot guys, i will go take a nap :)

[10:50] <nonuda> i was installing ubuntu-destop but in the middle i lost my net connection, now ubuntu-desktop status is "broken"
[10:50] <dager> jason_: nicotine is good, but torrents are the best way to go :D
[10:50] <tbuss> mike1980: just to make sure, this is what you did ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback <add it here>
[10:51] <fran1> arooni there is even a distro based on ubuntu just like mac osx
[10:51] <FunnyLookinHat> nonuda, try :   sudo apt-get install -f
[10:51] <lufis> stepansta1: if you're frustrated just cheat and use gksudo nautilus to remove it :P
[10:51] <jason_> i dont even know how to use torrents
[10:51] <Trist_an> rob07, you should modify the beginning to have the screen 0 "Default Screen" 0 0
[10:51] <mike1980> tbuss: ok one sec
[10:51] <arooni> fran1: well i like it kinda how it is... but i would like os x's sidebar
[10:51] <fran1> i like it how the text slides from the bottom up
[10:51] <Deviad> Hello

[10:51] <Deviad> !ati > Deviad
[10:52] <stepansta1> lufis, here is the problem, i have no idea what that is either
[10:52] <pureStylezz> Anyone has an idea? I've installed ubuntu but when i login theres nothing, only a background with my mouse cursor.. no icons, nothing
[10:52] <Trist_an> rob07, and the replace your part from Scetion "Monitor" to the end of Section  Screen with mine
[10:52] <datanerd> hi. I had a little problem using my mouse (serial mouse) with ubuntu live cd... but after a lot of searching with google and reading lots of different old and new talk about it... (it seems one can't write anything to help it when one is starting the live-cd but can write a strange comman after it have booted up) I got the mouse working but...
[10:52] <pureStylezz> any help ? :p
[10:52] <Trist_an> rob07, maybe it will work for you
[10:52] <mike1980> tbuss: wait where do i add that ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
[10:52] <tbuss> mike1980: jhttp://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14447/
[10:52] <lufis> stepansta1: You don't have to, just run "gksudo nautilus" in the terminal, enter your password, find the directory and right-click and hit "Delete" or "Send to trash", whichever you prefer
[10:52] <dager> pureStylezz: what WM/DE are you using?
[10:52] <nonuda> thanks
[10:52] <rob07> Trist_an: ok, i'll try
[10:52] <Trist_an> rob07, and also use the end of my file, the Section "device #
[10:53] <dedboy92> is there an easier way to install drivers on linux for speetouch 121g ive bin trying for 7 hours
[10:53] <pureStylezz> What is WM/DE? :p
[10:53] <jason_> what is the website for nicotine pulse
[10:53] <Trist_an> rob07, if it works I would be very surprised but you can give a try
[10:53] <lufis> jason_: http://google.com :)
[10:53] <dager> pureStylezz: I mean, are you using Gnome? KDE? Openbox?
[10:53] <hendrixski> datanerd, your mouse doesn't work on the liveCD... did it work when you installed?
[10:53] <amicrawler> where do i get frozzen bubble 2 from for ubuntu 6.10
[10:53] <Trist_an> rob07, what is your comp?
[10:53] <b^j> can anyone help me with my lvm problem, the volumes aren't being scanned on boot so they are not mounted via my fstab
[10:53] <pureStylezz> Gnome i think
[10:53] <pureStylezz> :p
[10:53] <stepansta1> lufis, now that was easy, thanks
[10:53] <cached> do I need to restart some daemon to get a change in /etc/crontab to have an effect?
[10:53] <mike1980> tbuss: is that a command you want me to do or something? ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
[10:53] <lufis> stepansta1: :)
[10:53] <rob07> Trist_an: Toshiba M40
[10:53] <bruenig> cached, no you don't
[10:53] <dager> pureStylezz: and what happens when you log on?
[10:53] <datanerd> ...but I was thinking, isn't  there any way to use ubuntu without a mouse? with windows you don't *need* a mouse, if you dont want to do painting.... you can press ctrl-Esc to get to startmenu etc...? what are the keys in ubuntu?
[10:53] <pureStylezz> Now i see xinit: unable to connect to X server
[10:53] <pureStylezz> no such process
[10:54] <sharms> b^j: I am likely the only one here qualified to help you, and you refused my request to pastebin what i asked
[10:54] <pureStylezz> Well.. you see the brown background
[10:54] <pureStylezz> no grey bars, no icons..
[10:54] <dynaemu> I am new to linux and i think im going to choose ubuntu, so i was wondering what features are with ubuntu, and if there are any books i could buy or sites i could look at to help me start with linux :)
[10:54] <mike1980> tbuss: or do you just want my host file contents
[10:54] <arooni> how can i get vista-like widgets on ubuntu?

[10:54] <Trist_an> rob07, then maybe it will work since I am also on a Toshiba laptop
[10:54] <dager> pureStylezz: is this a fresh install?
[10:54] <stepansta1> lufis, success ;)
[10:54] <pureStylezz> Yeah.
[10:54] <rob07> Trist_an: you know, I would rather not take too many risks, I'll look into the forums a bit
[10:54] <b^j> sharms: sure, just give me a sec, it works if i do it manually though
[10:54] <jason_> i will get frostwire
[10:54] <cables> dynaemu, check this out: http://www.zegeniestudios.net/ldc/
[10:54] <tbuss> mike1980: sorry, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14447/  will show how to change you etc/hosts
[10:54] <sharms> b^j: define manually
[10:54] <Trist_an> rob07, if you have backed up your xorg and now how to restore it in console there is almost no risk
[10:55] <hendrixski> datanerd, if you're using the regular Ubuntu install then your window manager is called GNOME and a lot of the key commands are the same.  But you can change them to be however you like
[10:55] <Trist_an> rob07, but looking at the forum for your specific computer is better
[10:55] <b^j> sharms: pvscan && vgscan && lvscan && mount /mnt/storage
[10:55] <mike1980> tbuss: ah ok so I paste that into my etc/host file then
[10:55] <sirkism> i'm sorry, but where's the session folder?
[10:55] <sharms> b^j: what version of ubuntu are you on
[10:55] <rob07> Trist_an: i'm not sure i backed it up correctly, could you walk me through the process? i installed the system like an hour ago...
[10:55] <hendrixski> datanerd, try System --> preferences Keyboard shortcuts  :-)
[10:55] <pureStylezz> :<
[10:55] <b^j> sharms: 6.10
[10:55] <pureStylezz> no idea?
[10:56] <dager> pureStylezz: X is having trouble connecting to the server. Is xorg-xserver installed? (I think thats the package name)
[10:56] <SAM_theman> guys how i change a user pssw in the terminal
[10:56] <tbuss> mike1980: you will not need to paste all of that, it just shows where to add your boxes name to get rid of that message. It really doesn't matter though, it's not messing anything up
[10:56] <Trist_an> rob07, in a terminal type cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_BACKUP
[10:56] <pureStylezz> lemme try sudo apt-get install xorg-xserver
[10:57] <Trist_an> rob07, if you have to restore your xorg.conf do cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf_BACKUP /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:57] <pureStylezz> couldnt find package xorg-xserver
[10:57] <cables> pureStylezz, you've got that backwards. It's xserver-xorg
[10:57] <mike1980> tbuss: hmm i thought maybe that why I can't connect to my ftp
[10:57] <pureStylezz> o
[10:57] <bruenig> SAM_theman, I believe you do "passwd username"
[10:57] <Trist_an> rob07, you have to put sudo before cp
[10:57] <larson9999> sharms: no, but in a couple years when i start finding the stuff in the bin they start supporting now :)
[10:57] <pureStylezz> Yep
[10:57] <Mirthy> Anyone know of a channel I can get help in concerning my Computer Architecture homework?
[10:57] <pureStylezz> it's already the newest version
[10:57] <hendrixski> umm... if I just put in y wireless card and it shows power for a few seconds then the lights go out... that means it's fried right??
[10:58] <rob07> Trist_an: ok
[10:58] <hendrixski> or did I inadvertantly change a setting?
[10:58] <dragonmc> hey guys, having trouble connecting to a windows share via "mount //server/share /mnt/mntpoint"  i get  wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock.  dmesg shows smb_fill_super: missing data argument. any ideas?
[10:58] <dager> pureStylezz: change the ownership on .Xauthority in your home directory to your user
[10:58] <tbuss> mike1980: that wont keep you from connecting to your ftp
[10:59] <SAM_theman> guys how i change a user pssw in the terminal
[10:59] <bruenig> SAM_theman, I believe you do "passwd username"
[10:59] <b^j> sharms: here is the pastebin http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14449/
[10:59] <pureStylezz> dager, how do i do that? :p

[10:59] <tbuss> mike1980: maybe this help http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14450/
[10:59] <rob07> Trist_an: now it does something weird: "sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Apr  8 00:33:50 2007"
[10:59] <datanerd> hendrixski:, ahh... this chatroom is to fast for me...., an no I don't intend to install ubuntu on this computer, just run it from the cd
[10:59] <jason_> i installed frostwire and it starts up but few sec later it close by it self
[10:59] <Leftmost> Is anyone aware of a guide for installing Ubuntu on a MacBook?
[11:00] <b^j> rob07: your time is weird, did you recently update your clock?
[11:00] <bruenig> jason_, sounds like frostwire doing what frostwire does
[11:00] <Deviad> !ati > Deviad
[11:00] <jason_> how i fix it
[11:00] <dedboy92> jeezcan any1 help me with speedtouch
[11:00] <hendrixski> datanerd, loL, yes, it's a pretty active chat room.  There are a lot of people interested in Ubuntu.
[11:00] <bruenig> jason_, a sudo apt-get install gtk-gnutella might help
[11:00] <iulian_> hi
[11:00] <rob07> bj: yes i did
[11:00] <slotto> what format is the initrd for the 2.6.17-10-server kernel package? It doesn't seem to be cramfs
[11:00] <dedboy92> ive bin trying to install speedtouch 121g using a guide for 8 hours!
[11:00] <Epic720> I am having troubles getting beryl to run. can anyone help me?
[11:01] <bruenig> Epic720, #ubuntu-effects
[11:01] <hendrixski> datanerd, I use a USB mouse and never had issues,  when I used a regular old mouse sometimes it wasn't hooked in all the way
[11:01] <iulian_> I have cvsnt installhed. How can I find where files are stored?
[11:01] <lufis> Epic720: see #ubuntu-effects
[11:01] <dedboy92> do you tink i cud install speedtouch drivers using wine ??
[11:01] <sharms> b^j: your fstab is malformed.
[11:02] <pureStylezz> what is the command to remove /tmp/.X0-lock
[11:02] <pureStylezz> ? :/
[11:02] <stepansta1> lufis, one last thing since you know what you are doing
[11:02] <dedboy92> do you think i cud install speedtouch drivers using wine ??
[11:02] <Taime1> i cant seem to open a site with anything other than IE on a windows system. is there a way to configure firefox to open this site in linux?
[11:02] <dynaemu> Thanks everyone, ill be back :D

[11:02] <b^j> sharms: how so, i am guessing it is an artifact of my copy/paste
[11:02] <tbuss> what do I need to do to get a mounted external hdd with ntfs-3g to share files across the network with samba?
[11:02] <hendrixski> Taime1, which site?  we can give it a try :-)
[11:02] <stepansta1> lufis, i want to set the permission from root to me and i belive you use chmod
[11:02] <rob07> god, i'm so lost now
[11:03] <Taime1> well, its a secure site
[11:03] <ademir> hello
[11:03] <lufis> stepansta1: yep, sudo chmod <user> <file>
[11:03] <jason_>  a sudo apt-get install gtk-gnutella i install that it still do the same
[11:03] <lufis> iirc
[11:03] <stepansta1> lufis, and that give me all access to it, right?
[11:03] <slotto> nm, answered my own question by trial and error. ubuntu initrd is ramfs format
[11:03] <b^j> sharms: anyway mount /storage works after i manually scan the lvms so i doubt that is my issue
[11:03] <lufis> stepansta1: it should, if i didn't forget the command syntax :)
[11:03] <ademir> any gils?
[11:04] <sharms> b^j: I dont work with XFS so I am not sure exactly what you are looking for, probably "noatime", but the last line should be:
[11:04] <slotto> hrmm or not
[11:04] <hendrixski> Taime1, ok... you say it just doesn't opeN?
[11:04] <lufis> oh whoops
[11:04] <sharms> b^j: /dev/videos/videov      /store  xfs noatime  0 0
[11:04] <tbuss> mike1980: did you try adding your box's name to etc/hosts? or are you more concerned with trying to connect with your ftp server
[11:04] <datanerd> hendrixski, ok I try look System--preferences Keyboard to see what keyboard shortcuts there are. there mus be somthing for open the gnome-starmenu
[11:04] <lufis> stepansta1: no you wouldn't use chmod
[11:04] <iulian_> how can I find where my files are stored with CVSNT ?
[11:04] <lufis> stepansta1: use chown.
[11:04] <b^j> sharms: blank is perfectly acceptable for options
[11:04] <Taime1> well, links on that page do not work except in ie on a windows box. i have tried ie in linux, ff in windows.. nothing...
[11:04] <ademir> i install now the ubunt congratulations for me :-)
[11:04] <b^j> sharms: i don't want noatime
[11:04] <jason_> how i uninstalll frostwire
[11:04] <tbuss> what do I need to do to get a mounted external hdd with ntfs-3g to share files across the network with samba?
[11:05] <jiberisha> has anyone here tried updating ralink driver rt2570?
[11:05] <lufis> stepansta1: sudo chown <user> <file>
[11:05] <sharms> b^j: you can also use "defaults"
[11:05] <b^j> sharms: and mount /storage fails before scanning the lvm manually but works afterword
[11:05] <stepansta1> lufis, yes, i got those confused
[11:05] <b^j> sharms: so that doesn't seem to be teh issue
[11:05] <ademir> i am brazil
[11:05] <hendrixski> Taime1, oh.... I have come accross that problem once as well...A client of mine had a really poorly designed website with some ASP .Net stuff that only worked for IE ...
[11:05] <bruenig> !br
[11:05] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigado.
[11:05] <stepansta1> lufis, it says chown: changing ownership of `/mnt/win': Read-only file system
[11:05] <sharms> b^j: if you umount it, and type "mount -a" does it mount?
[11:06] <slotto> oh, it's a cpio archive
[11:06] <lufis> stepansta1: Hm...
[11:06] <hendrixski> Taime1, what I did was installed Internet explorer on Linux
[11:06] <slotto> gay
[11:06] <EADG> jason_: sudo apt-get remove frostwire
[11:06] <Taime1> i did thaht too... same problem
[11:06] <tbuss> How do I change mount optons on a ntfs-3g external drive so I can share files onnetwork?
[11:06] <rob07> well, thanx for leaving me helpless!
[11:06] <lufis> stepansta1: can you paste what you ran?
[11:06] <pureStylezz> err
[11:06] <dedboy92> aaah i cba with this 8+ hours to instal 1 wreless driver -.-

[11:07] <pureStylezz> didnt even sleep
[11:07] <dedboy92> lol
[11:07] <sharms> b^j: Also I am reading fstab man page, and under the "fourth field" section, I don't see anything about it being optional.
[11:07] <nonuda> tbuss, did u mounted the hd succesfully?
[11:07] <oscar> Hello.. Somebody can help me about a server?
[11:07] <b^j> sharms: k, like i said i may be wrong, but i don't get why it fails until i manually scan
[11:07] <sharms> !tell oscar about ask
[11:07] <NickGarvey> oscar, what is your question
[11:07] <hendrixski> Taime1, same problem when you installed IE?  and it worked when you had it on windows... that's interesting.  I can only assume that the web designer did something wrong
[11:08] <tbuss> nonuda: yeah, it's mounted properly i guess. I can read ans write to it just can share files located on it
[11:08] <b^j> sharms: i am trying to get everything that is accessing /store but i don't remember what is all there
[11:08] <dedboy92> dude i might go back to widoiws an that saying somit lol
[11:08] <dedboy92> windows
[11:08] <tbuss> nonuda: I can't share files located on the external
[11:08] <hendrixski> Taime1, you should contact them and tell them
[11:08] <Baktaah> What should you download to program in java, is it JDK or JRE?
[11:08] <stepansta1> lufis, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14452/
[11:08] <sharms> dedboy92: buy hardware that works easily with linux.
[11:09] <dedboy92> lol k
[11:09] <rob07> I need help configuring my screen resolution, I can't get it any higher then 1024x768 and i would like to get it to 1280x800, i use an ATI x300 graphic card and I am a real newbie to ubuntu
[11:09] <bruenig> Baktaah, both
[11:09] <hendrixski> Baktaah, to run programs you need the JRE, to write programs you need the JDK
[11:09] <sharms> dedboy92: why buy hardware that doesnt work with linux to run linux?  I dont put monster truck tires on my car
[11:09] <b^j> Baktaah: jre if you just want to run java, jdk if you want to install
[11:09] <PriceChild> dedboy92, tried other distributions?
[11:09] <bruenig> Baktaah, jdk to create, jre to run
[11:09] <lufis> stepansta1: try sudo chown -R stepanstas /mnt/win
[11:09] <bruenig> unless you just want to create and not run them, then jdk
[11:09] <dedboy92> sharms: i came from windows
[11:09] <mike1980> OK so I have this in etc/host "http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14447/" but still get this error "- IPv6 getaddrinfo 'LAMP.phub.net.cable.rogers.com' error: Name or service not known

[11:09] <nonuda> tbuss, what have u tried to shared it?
[11:10] <sharms> dedboy92: there are so many good vendors out there, its very easy to get a wireless card that works.  I paid $15 on ebay for my intel 2200 that works out of the box, no extra work

[11:10] <B123> Hey everyone this might be a odd question but does anyone know how i could share music to my xbox 360 threw ubuntu?
[11:10] <stepansta1> lufis, where do you get you experience from
[11:10] <PriceChild> oscar, a desktop ubuntu is a basically the server with a few packages removed and the gui installed
[11:10] <bruenig> and kit, kit is pretty key
[11:10] <lufis> stepansta1: oh,spending pretty much my whole life on a computer :P
[11:10] <bruenig> else it is just JD, and that doesn't make sense
[11:10] <sirkism> hmm
[11:10] <hendrixski> Baktaah, I recomend Eclipse as an IDE for developing java :-)  you can just apt-get all of it :-)
[11:10] <mike1980> tubuss: OK so I have this in etc/host "http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14447/" but still get this error "- IPv6 getaddrinfo 'LAMP.phub.net.cable.rogers.com' error: Name or service not known
[11:10] <PriceChild> oscar, you could install a gui on a server install, or server apps onto a desktop
[11:11] <NickGarvey> oscar, you can run a server with the desktop cd, the server cd just has some stuff by default, such as a lamp set up and such (!lamp)
[11:11] <stepansta1> lufis, yea, i did that with windows, but linux is better
[11:11] <lufis> stepansta1: i agree
[11:11] <mike1980> tbuss: OK so I have this in etc/host "http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14447/" but still get this error "- IPv6 getaddrinfo 'LAMP.phub.net.cable.rogers.com' error: Name or service not known
[11:11] <soul_reaver_> i wt program can i use to make radio in linux ubuntu?
[11:11] <Baktaah> hendrixski, no thanks, Im fine with a lightweight IDE, geany is perfect for c++, php, perl, java and etc.

[11:12] <hendrixski> Baktaah, cool.  To each their own.  I've been using Vim for the past few days... VERY lightweight.  Does intellisense pretty well
[11:12] <tbuss> mike1980: what is you boxes name
[11:12] <lufis> stepansta1: yeah, people tend to use whatever is preloaded on their computer, and Microsoft has so many under the table deals with pc vendors that it's impossible for them to load anything but windows
[11:12] <stutsman> Hello guys... I have a question/idea and need to know if and how I can make this possible......
[11:12] <mike1980> tbuss "LAMP"
[11:12] <lufis> stepansta1: plus there is the fact of obscurity... most people don't even know an alternative to windows exists
[11:12] <mike1980> tbuss: "LAMP"
[11:12] <oscar> ahm.. But with that server.. can I have a web page??
[11:12] <bruenig> stutsman, .
[11:12] <hendrixski> !ask | stutsman
[11:12] <Baktaah> hendrixski, Vim hey? does it have a compile button and a run button?
[11:13] <ubotu> stutsman: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:13] <ubuntu> i use norton ghost 7 to make backups. i just backuped a linux ext3 partition . got pretty good. but when i tried to paste it on a linux partition. i every time get the error "read sector error" what can i do . please help.
[11:13] <hendrixski> Baktaah, yes,  you can map a keystroke to run a command.  :-)
[11:13] <b^j> sharms: i just modified my fstab as you suggested, rebooted and /store isn't there, mount -a says nothing
[11:13] <stepansta1> lufis, why doesn't linux come preloaded
[11:14] <tbuss> mike1980: try this ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback LAMP
[11:14] <stutsman> I have 2 machines.. one(that I am using now) has one hard drive with Ubuntu and another hard drive with windows xp....... the 2nd machine has 1 hard drive with windows 98 and another completely blank.... is there a way I can set up some kind of web server or something so that I can access files and stuff from machine 2 on machine 1?
[11:14] <bruenig> use something other tha norton
[11:14] <stepansta1> lufis, is it a legal thing?
[11:14] <hendrixski> Baktaah, so I can set, for example, F13 to run javac,  or make, or whatever :-)
[11:14] <mike1980> tbuss: ok one sec thanks
[11:14] <stepansta1> lufis, since lunix is free
[11:14] <lufis> stepansta1: Microsoft has some weird agreements with pc vendors that restricts them from loading anything but windows. It came out during the antitrust trials
[11:14] <cached> how do I make a delay in bash?
[11:14] <lufis> stepansta1: huge abusive monopoly
[11:14] <cached> as in, make it wait 4 seconds
[11:14] <asaup> what can i use to open an .img file
[11:14] <bruenig> cached, sleep 4
[11:15] <b^j> sharms: i will just make rc script to do this for me at this point
[11:15] <cached> thanks!!
[11:15] <b^j> sharms: thanks for your help
[11:15] <nonuda> tbuss, it seems that i can't help u, can u browse the external hdd throug the networking in the box itself (not from other pc)?
[11:15] <pureStylezz> i have a question
[11:15] <pureStylezz> on what session i should open ubuntu?
[11:15] <pureStylezz> Gnome?
[11:15] <hendrixski> stutsman, you want to access files between computers... like a home network?
[11:15] <tbuss> mike1980: make sure you go to /etc/hosts I notice you put etc/host/
[11:15] <hendrixski> !samba | stutsman
[11:15] <ubotu> stutsman: 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
[11:16] <stutsman> sorta of... but without having to buy all the networking cables and routers and the such
[11:16] <stepansta1> lufis, mac and ubuntu should pair up :), but seriously, what about custom building?
[11:16] <asaup> what can i use to open an .img file. its like an iso but the format is .img
[11:16] <mike1980> tbuss: Same error but should I reboot after adding "LAMP"
[11:16] <bruenig> !iso | asaup convert it
[11:16] <ubotu> asaup convert it: 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.
[11:16] <tbuss> nonuda: yes, I can read and write to it from the connected pc
[11:16] <Nemes> How could I use "ping" through a proxy?
[11:16] <mike1980> tbuss: sorry yes I did /etc/hosts
[11:16] <hendrixski> stutsman, oh...then that's a hardware question and I probably don't know.  But if they're all connected to your home network, you can see files between them with a program called samba
[11:16] <lufis> stepansta1: well that's probably an issue left to someone more knowledgeable, but self-builders usually love the greatest and latest video cards which don't provide drivers for linux
[11:16] <b^j> Nemes: exactly what do you want to do?
[11:17] <stutsman> hendrixski what kind of difficulty level am I talking about here if I decide to do this.
[11:17] <eck> Nemes: what is wrong with just pinging the host?
[11:17] <mobiGeek> morning folks!
[11:17] <bruenig> !howdy | mobiGeek
[11:17] <lufis> stepansta1: Plus Linux is generally an obscure name
[11:17] <ubotu> mobiGeek: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[11:17] <mike1980> tbuss: should I reboot now
[11:17] <stutsman> hendrixski: I
[11:17] <coscoco> hello iam searching for ftp client with ssl auth
[11:17] <coscoco> can everybody tell me one?
[11:17] <tbuss> mike1980: sure
[11:17] <pureStylezz> When i start ubuntu after i enter my password, it goes in the desktop but i only see the background with 2 grey bars
[11:17] <stutsman> hendrixski: I am trying to do it through the web so that I won't have all that out of pocket expense to set up a home network
[11:17] <bulmer> coscoco: sftp
[11:17] <pureStylezz> i dont see any icons, nothing.. i can move my mouse around.
[11:17] <eck> bulmer: that is not ftp
[11:17] <eck> bulmer: well, it is not ftp+ssl
[11:17] <pureStylezz> anyone have a tip on how i can fix that?
[11:17] <pureStylezz> :(
[11:18] <eck> it is a different protocol
[11:18] <stepansta1> lufis, yea, i though people would switch after Vista, but it turns out, it doesnt cost that much compared to xp
[11:18] <hendrixski> stutsman, oh... so you could set up a few FTP servers.  That would be very easy  :-)
[11:18] <mike1980> tbuss: ok thanks maybe a reboot will make it work
[11:18] <coscoco> thx @ bulmer
[11:18] <bulmer> eck i misread him, thought he meant ssh
[11:18] <tbuss> mike1980: I don't know, adding you boxes name should have done the trick
[11:18] <WaxyFresh> my usb drive isnt showing up in dapper
[11:18] <lufis> stepansta1: vista doesn't cost much?
[11:18] <bulmer> eck: but ssh uses openssl noh?
[11:18] <dragonmc> hmm...i found the problem.  it seems the smbfs/cifs client doesn't come installed in ubuntu by default.  odd little quirk, that.
[11:18] <SlicerDicer-> http://bigpondguide.com/schedule.php?channel=2 anybody know why that content cannot be displayed in firefox?
[11:18] <mobiGeek> I've recently installed ubuntu-server on a home machine.  I want to run a simple mail server (wife & myself, have a dedicated domain name & dynamic IP reg'ed with dynDNS).  Which mail server will be "straight-forward" to use?  I am tired of mucking with sendmail....
[11:19] <mike1980> tbuss: i have router also
[11:19] <pureStylezz> When i start ubuntu after i enter my password, it goes in the desktop but i only see the background with 2 grey bars
[11:19] <pureStylezz> i dont see any icons, nothing.. i can move my mouse around. Anyone know how to fix it?
[11:19] <hendrixski> stutsman, pure_ftpd is a good FTP server, and filezilla is a very easy ftp client.  You can share files between computers very quickly.
[11:19] <tbuss> mike1980: that might be why you cant connect to your server
[11:19] <stutsman> Ok... could you point me in a direction where I could get help setting up some ftp servers on ubuntu and windows?
[11:19] <b^j> mobiGeek: i use postfix and courier
[11:19] <bulmer> stutsman google
[11:19] <Nemes> b^j: (and eck) I'm behind an http proxy, so in order to use i.e. firefox I have to set it up in Edit - Preferences. But I don't know what to use.. say "the console" with the proxy. I have no direct connection to the internet.
[11:19] <lufis> pureStylezz: try ctrl alt backspace
[11:19] <mike1980> tbuss: ya this is starting to hurt my head I need a beer soon'
[11:19] <stepansta1> lufis, well compared to all other microsoft products
[11:19] <nonuda> tbuss, what is the system of another pc?
[11:19] <sharms> bulmer: your comment helps nobody, keep it to yourself next time
[11:19] <mobiGeek> b^j: what are each of their roles?
[11:20] <eck> bulmer: i guess so, i am not really sure what library they use
[11:20] <coscoco> is filezilla a ssl ftp client?
[11:20] <lufis> stepansta1: well i'm not sure myself. I hope the tide turns to linux
[11:20] <b^j> mobiGeek: postfix is smtp
[11:20] <mwe> mobiGeek, sendmail is bloated and annoying IMHO, so I secdond procmail
[11:20] <bulmer> sharms nor your comments, does not help
[11:20] <b^j> mobiGeek: courier for imap
[11:20] <tbuss> nonuda: all three pc's are running Ubuntu
[11:20] <stepansta1> lufis, i thought vista would have cost at least 300
[11:20] <b^j> Nemes: ping is icmp, i don
[11:20] <mobiGeek> mwe: you mean postfix?
[11:20] <mike1980> tbuss: I can ssh in fine but no ftp go
[11:20] <hendrixski> stutsman, sure :-)  Like I said, the ftp server for linux I would recomend is pure-ftpd ... it's easy to install on Ubuntu just type "apt-get install pure-ftpd" into a terminal
[11:20] <stepansta1> lufis, anyway, lets hope
[11:20] <mobiGeek> b^j: cool.
[11:20] <sharms> bulmer: no but if I can make 1 unhelpful person shut up then it was a good thing
[11:20] <eck> my understanding is that ssh is not an ssl based protocol (it might use openssl libraries though, i'm not sure)
[11:20] <mwe> mobiGeek, yeah, sorry
[11:20] <b^j> 't think it can be tunneled
[11:20] <pureStylezz> now i only see the background
[11:20] <mobiGeek> b^j: thanks
[11:20] <stepansta1> lufis, it was good talking to you
[11:20] <pureStylezz> without the grey bars ^_^
[11:20] <mobiGeek> mwe: np.
[11:20] <mwe> mobiGeek, postfix of course
[11:20] <McFrosty> Installed ndiswrapper but could not enable my wireless card so restarted and now I don't even see my wireless card.
[11:20] <lufis> stepansta1: well they have all these editions of it... the full-featured one is pretty expensive so i've heard
[11:21] <bulmer> sharms then shutup , we tell people to google
[11:21] <hendrixski> stutsman, and if you want to start the ftp server just type "sudo /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd start" into a terminal
[11:21] <b^j> mobiGeek: there is a proxy config you can use in the ubuntu settings menu but i have never used it
[11:21] <b^j> mobiGeek: sorry, mt
[11:21] <sharms> bulmer: who is we?  I am a ubuntu member
[11:21] <lufis> stepansta1: you too :)
[11:21] <gershon_> webmin
[11:21] <tbuss> mike1980: try this link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79588 might be something in there that will help. check towards the bottom, some l inks on how to setup with router
[11:21] <b^j> Nemes: there is a proxy setup in the ubuntu settings menu
[11:21] <pureStylezz> how do i remove /tmp/.X0-lock ?
[11:21] <stepansta1> lufis, see ya around
[11:22] <b^j> Nemes: but that will only work with thinks that can be tunneled
[11:22] <lufis> stepansta1: :)
[11:22] <hendrixski> stutsman, if you want to connect to an ftp server with filezilla (install by typing "sudo apt-get install filezilla") just open it on the applications menu and type in the address of the computer you're connecting to
[11:22] <mike1980> tbuss: ok thanks for your help
[11:22] <mobiGeek> b^j: I don't have X.org installed on this box.  it is headless.
[11:22] <Nemes> b^j: Great, thanks. I'll try.
[11:22] <tbuss> mike1980: np
[11:22] <mobiGeek> b^j: a brief review of postfix.org shows that I can navigate the config relatively quickly.
[11:22] <hendrixski> stutsman, I hope that helps you do what you were looking for.  :-)  I have to go :-(
[11:23] <b^j> mobiGeek: yeah, its simple.  if you are very lazy you can set it up with webmin too
[11:23] <mwe> mobiGeek: basic postfix configuration is pretty easy
[11:23] <jterrero> Can someone pleaes help me out... I am trying to mount a "NTFS Partition" using the command "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ntfs" when I try to access /mnt/ntfsvolume even to read and I get a "Permision Denied"... Does anyone know what my problem is
[11:23] <nonuda> tbuss, oh i see, did u have try to mount it over network uusing smbfs?
[11:23] <b^j> mobiGeek: just remember to bind webmin to localhost if you use it
[11:23] <sharms> jterrero,  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[11:23] <stutsman> hedrix: it does thank you very much!!!
[11:24] <tbuss> nonuda: I don't think so, did you find something in my mount output?
[11:24] <pureStylezz> how do i remove /tmp/.X0-lock ?
[11:24] <sharms> jterrero: or the short answer is put these options in your fstab: ro,auto,user
[11:25] <mwe> pureStylezz: sudo rm /tmp/.X-lock. why, though?
[11:25] <pureStylezz> Cause i dont have in GUI
[11:25] <pureStylezz> when i past the login screen
[11:25] <pureStylezz> have any*
[11:25] <nonuda> tbuss, no i can't anything it seems that u have try many corrected way, but i suggest u to mounted the shared drive over network using smbfs
[11:25] <McFrosty> Anyone able to help me get my wireless card working with ndiswrapper?
[11:25] <mwe> pureStylezz: files in /tmp doesn't need to be cleaned manually

[11:28] <Taime1> jason_: i can tell you how torrents work in easy to understand terms
[11:28] <jterrero> sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ntfsvolume -t ntfs fmask=0111 dmask=0000
[11:28] <gershon> jason_: most clients are not "p2p" though the backend is
[11:28] <Taime1> pm me
[11:28] <jterrero> does not work
[11:29] <w4nabe> hi, does anybody know how to get lynx to smooth scroll?
[11:29] <pureStylezz> nope
[11:29] <gershon> i think Deluge looks like a p2p client
[11:29] <McFrosty> mwe: mwe: I see my eth0 which is what I am using now (lan), I also see lo and sit0 but nothing really for those.
[11:29] <lufis> pureStylezz: in gdm, choose the "gnome failsalfe" session

[11:29] <lufis> failsafe*
[11:29] <Larsson-Sweden>  Im trying to play a .mp4 file, coded in X264 using the XV driver and the CPU usage is very slow. I need to get the CPU usage high, and i dont care if the quality will be affected. Anyone?

[11:30] <jterrero> sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ntfsvolume -t ntfs fmask=0111 dmask=0000
[11:30] <jterrero> does not work
[11:30] <mwe> jterrero: what's the error?
[11:30] <pureStylezz> i am in gnome fail safe session
[11:30] <pureStylezz> now i dont even see the grey bars
[11:30] <pureStylezz> ^_^
[11:30] <pureStylezz> only the background
[11:30] <dragonmc> i've been running ubuntu from the livecd for a couple days now and have configured the system to my liking (samba, gnome config, etc).  if i select to install it to my hd, will it keep all the settings, or will I have to do it from scratch?
[11:30] <Larsson-Sweden> lufis, playing.
[11:30] <pureStylezz> and a grey box at the top left
[11:31] <nonuda> tbuss, try read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba at the mounting samba shares section
[11:31] <McFrosty> It lists ndiswrapper
[11:31] <McFrosty> mwe: ^^
[11:31] <lufis> pureStylezz: did it work?
[11:31] <woodyn87> A few questions please answer in language an idiot can understand, in wireless set up is ESSID (linux) the same as SSID (windows/D-link router)?
[11:31] <jterrero> mwe: it just lists the mount options
[11:31] <jterrero> when i try the command
[11:31] <mwe> jterrero: you need -o before fsmask and seperate fmask and dmansk with comma
[11:31] <pureStylezz> no..
[11:31] <lufis> pureStylezz: sounds like something;s messed up. have you changed anything recently?
[11:31] <jterrero> ahhh
[11:31] <pureStylezz> i installed it yesterday
[11:31] <pureStylezz> lol
[11:31] <lufis> pureStylezz: lol oh. i would say try reinstalling
[11:31] <Taime1> woodyn87: yes
[11:31] <pureStylezz> im new to linux
[11:31] <pureStylezz> i tryed 6.10 before..
[11:31] <pureStylezz> it did the same thing
[11:31] <pureStylezz> so i installed the beta
[11:31] <lufis> pureStylezz: if nothing is loading correctly there might have been an issue in the installation
[11:31] <pureStylezz> but same thing again
[11:31] <tbuss> nonuda: i appreciate it, I'll take a look and see what I can't break :)
[11:31] <jterrero> mwe: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ntfs/ -t ntfs -o fmask=0111,dmask=0000 0 0
[11:32] <jterrero> does not work either
[11:32] <woodyn87> I'm using the gui settings for eth1 (internal wireless card) and am having trouble getting it to work
[11:32] <pureStylezz> i'll reinstall...again..
[11:32] <mwe> jterrero: drop the 0 0 on the command line
[11:32] <Larsson-Sweden> lufis, playing.
[11:32] <pureStylezz> i guess im just gonna go back to windows
[11:32] <woodyn87> The ESSID is correct
[11:32] <aleph0> hello all
[11:32] <mwe> jterrero: command line mounting is a bit different from the fstab syntax
[11:32] <Taime1> does it require a key?
[11:32] <Xenguy> .oO(They always 'threaten' us with that :-)
[11:32] <lufis> Larsson-Sweden: i don't know myself, i was just wonderingh
[11:33] <aleph0>  my system is stalling (100% CPU usage) but I cannot find which process is responsible
[11:33] <woodyn87> I chose password Hexidecimal and entered the key with the colons
[11:33] <jiberisha> i need help installing rt2570 driver for USB wlan D-link dwl-g122 reb b1

[11:33] <jterrero> still doesnt work :(
[11:33] <aleph0>  it's CPU usage, not I/O wait... that's why I am confused. in 'top' all progs are marked as 0%
[11:33] <aleph0> is there something better that 'top' to find out what is causing the slowdown?
[11:33] <jterrero> nevermind, got i t :)
[11:33] <jterrero> thanks
[11:33] <mwe> jterrero: no space between dmask and fmask. make sure /mnt/ntfs exists as well
[11:33] <jterrero> no spaces between the commans
[11:33] <jterrero> ya :)
[11:33] <jterrero> thanks
[11:33] <woodyn87> It's WEP BTW
[11:34] <pureStylezz> that sucks cuz its working great on the live cd..
[11:34] <Taime1> 64 bit?
[11:34] <mwe> jterrero: worked?
[11:34] <woodyn87> yep
[11:34] <jterrero> yes
[11:34] <jterrero> :)
[11:34] <jterrero> thanks
[11:34] <pureStylezz> how do i repair?
[11:34] <mwe> jterrero: np

[11:40] <bruenig> cached, what is */5, is that every five minutes? I have never seen that
[11:40] <Xenguy> stutsman: I see that filezilla is packaged for Ubuntu
[11:40] <Xenguy> stutsman: FWIW
[11:40] <cached> bruenig, yes
[11:40] <reep> cached: does it list when you type "sudo crontab -l "?
[11:40] <sans_serif> hello

[11:40] <virtuoussin13> starting in safe graphical mode
[11:41] <virtuoussin13> doesn't help
[11:41] <cached> You (root) are not allowed to use this program (crontab)

[11:41] <stutsman> ardchoille, Xenguy: Now your starting to talk a bit over my head. backports?
[11:41] <virtuoussin13> and
[11:41] <ardchoille> !backports
[11:41] <ubotu> If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging
[11:41] <mwe> sans_serif: install kubuntu-desktop
[11:41] <ardchoille> stutsman: ^^
[11:42] <virtuoussin13> following the suggestion to boot with "noapic" gives me no mouse control
[11:42] <mwe> sans_serif: then choose kde at the login screen
[11:42] <sans_serif> is kubuntu desktop the same as KDE?
[11:42] <cached> bruenig, some site said "Might be usefull to add the / option on times: */5 * * * * runs every 5 minutes."
[11:42] <hendrixski> I think I accidentally disabled my wireless?  how can I check?
[11:42] <virtuoussin13> so, what's the problem, and what can I do?
[11:42] <hendrixski> sans_serif, yes
[11:42] <mwe> sans_serif: it's a meta package that installs kde+ a lot of ubuntu stuff
[11:42] <sans_serif> would someone help me installing kubuntu? PM me
[11:42] <Taime1> sans_serif:  its the version of kde that works with ubuntu
[11:42] <sans_serif> i just switched
[11:42] <reep> cached, bruenig yea sorry, cached was right, it
[11:42] <hendrixski> sans_serif, kubuntu desktop is a really spiffed up nicer looking, better working
[11:42] <nonuda> kubuntu=KDE ... Ubunt=GNOME
[11:43] <sans_serif> ok
[11:43] <reep> it's all minutes divisable by 5, sorry
[11:43] <mwe> sans_serif: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop in terminal
[11:43] <virtuoussin13> and someone here help?
[11:43] <hendrixski> so yeah... how can I check if I accidentally dissabled wireless?
[11:44] <reep> cached: but the error you got running sudo crontab -l is odd, it works for me...

[11:44] <hendrixski> It just always worked, and now when I plug in my card, the card turns off
[11:44] <mwe> sans_serif: type your password then
[11:44] <ardchoille> sans_serif: It's your password it wants.
[11:44] <Taime1> sans_serif: its your password
[11:44] <Taime1> lol
[11:44] <hendrixski> sans_serif, then enter the root password... you chose it when you installed :-)
[11:45] <mwe> sans_serif: it will look like it doesn't get in. it does, though.
[11:45] <bruenig> hendrixski, easy questions are awesome
[11:45] <virtuoussin13> care to answer a hard one?
[11:45] <bruenig> hendrixski, your response was wrong by the way, there is no root password
[11:45] <mwe> hendrixski: not the root pass. the user pass. that's how sudo works ;)
[11:45] <sans_serif> can someone PM me? this irc thing is confusing me, please
[11:45] <hendrixski> bruenig, I agree... I think I have an easy one... how can I check if I didn't disable my wireless?
[11:45] <bruenig> !pm | sans_serif
[11:45] <ubotu> sans_serif: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude.
[11:45] <hendrixski> mwe, bruenig,,  oh.. rights.... sorry :-( that's what I meant
[11:46] <sans_serif> ok

[11:46] <sans_serif> ok, i will register my nick
[11:46] <Taime1> sans_serif: open a terminal, type "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop"  then when you are prompted for your password, type it in.... then follow the onscreen instructions
[11:46] <sans_serif> but i want to install Kubuntu first
[11:47] <nonuda> lol
[11:47] <mwe> sans_serif: good. type y <enter> unless it's errors or it want's to unistall everthing or something. ;)
[11:47] <Leftmost> While installing Ubuntu from the Feisty LiveCD, it failed trying to install grub. I've installed grub manually, but is there anything important that the install did not have a chance to do, and how would I go about doing it?

[11:48] <Taime1> sans_serif: close ALL other programs

[11:50] <hendrixski> I installed Xubuntu yesterday, and since then the wireless hasn't worked... it's probably not a hardware problem?

[11:52] <WaxyFresh> is there a support channel for apt-get?
[11:53] <bobbob1016> foug, I'll find the free program that does it, one sec
[11:53] <ardchoille> WaxyFresh: Yu can ask here
[11:53] <Taime1> foug: nero should recognize it as an iso then burn it accordingly
[11:53] <jason_> should i uninstall wine and reinstall it

[11:53] <hendrixski> foug, then once you have it installed, Ubuntu burns ISO images out of the box
[11:53] <ardchoille> WaxyFresh: Sorry, please ask again. I missed it.
[11:53] <justmessenger_> is there a command like "get" for ubuntu so I can grab files from http sites from a terminal window?
[11:53] <foug> hendrixski, out of the box?
[11:54] <bobbob1016> foug, http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm
[11:54] <ardchoille> justmessenger_: wget

[11:54] <bobbob1016> justmessenger_, wget
[11:54] <hendrixski> foug, no! you can DUAL BOOT.  meaning you have BOTH windows and linux, and can choose which one to run when

[11:54] <hendrixski> "out of the box" means that it just automatically comes with it... like when you open something, and it's "fresh out of the box" before you modify it
